Asquith Motor Carriage

This not just the chance to buy a really exquisite vehicle but a business opportunity as well for the discerning person. These cars were built to a very high standard and not to a price which is why there were only 12 of them built . It has a hand built body on a hand built chassis but all wearable bits are off the shelf components so that there are no obscure pieces. The power unit is 2. 5 DI Ford coupled to a Ford heavy duty auto box which Ford brought out for the multi drop vans. so there is plenty of life in that department. The rear suspension is air ( new compressor recently fitted) and the front is coil springs giving a very smooth ride for all. There is power steering and a turning circle of 25 ft. very handy in tight situations. The interior is in grey velour and is in beautiful condition ( no smoking allowed) and seats five. three on the back seat and two on two rear facing dickie seats. all seat are belted with wheelchair securing belt. Wheelchair access is by ramps carried in hidden compartment under the rear passenger floor. The rear passenger compartment is divided from the driving cockpit by a toughened glass security screen ( hand built ) with sliding glass. The doors have velour panels with walnut plates at the top. front and rear. The dashboard is in Walnut finish with cream leather top. The radio / cd multi player is coupled to a 10 speaker system. The bodywork is GRP which means there is not a rust problem and is finished in cream and black with a Dark red coachline. all in a very high finish. I have kept Autoglym solvent on the amount of polish I have put on this vehicle. It has disc brakes all round . spoked aluminium wheels and is MOT'd until 2017. To the business side of things. it is very good at weddings. proms. day trips etc as it announces the arrival by its sheer elegance. Rolls Royce does not get a look in when I turn up. so there is the potential to earn money. good money. I have owned the vehicle for 19 years and I am still working with her now but I am selling because of my age. that is the only reason. To the lucky person who purchases her. if you wish I will drive it to you if you are on the mainland.
