An honest, unmolested and genuine example, sound, clean & correct, and we feel that the 99,000 miles on the clock is very likely genuine, although we cannot confirm this. We have recently re-commissioned the car, work which has included considerable attention to the braking system, full servicing, tuning and adjustments, following which it runs and drives particularly nicely, adding more weight to the probability of the mileage being correct. Comes with a history file which includes various invoices and documents showing that just 6,000 miles or so have been covered since 1985, old MoT certificates, and a complete ownership record. We have just fitted a set of new radial tyres to the car, which are not shown in all of the photos. MoT tested November 2021.

Snippets: The Architects Car.
Although the chassis cards state that the car was for the use of Arthur George Elliott of Feb (GB) Ltd it would seem that the first owner was in fact an architect by the name of Arthur Swift (1912/95). It may be that Arthur Swift had business dealings with Feb (GB) Ltd who produced Febcure concrete liquid which was sprayed onto concrete to form a waterproof impervious layer. Arthur Swifts career included being senior architect for Ministry of works (1938/53) and later formed his own business based in London with branches in Dublin and Glasgow. His works included Victoria Station in Nottingham, Ballymum in Dublin, Ulster Bank in Belfast and was the architect for the proposed development at Aintree Racecourse for the Tophams in 1971 (Arthur himself was the owner of several racehorses). In 1965 after 34 years of marriage Mrs Ellen Sarah Fletcher Swift divorced Arthur on the grounds of his adultery with the glamorously named Marie Antoinette du Vachel which neither Arthur nor Marie denied! When Arthur died in 1995 his executor was an Antoinette Yvonne Rachel Smith...................

Reasons to buy from us

Classic CarsOver 30 years in businessCars are physically at our premisesLovely roads to test drive onOur reputation

About usThe Real Car Company was established in 1987 by Ray Arnold & Ian Johnstone. It was a hobby that 'Got out of hand'. Our interest in cars of the type that we now sell goes back to our childhoods, and ownership back to the 1970's. Gradually more cars started passing through our hands, and by 1986 we had decided to make a full time occupation of buying and selling the cars that we love.

We started with a single car (all we could afford) which we sold quickly, and before we knew it we had 4 or 5 on our hands! This was alongside another business that we were involved in at the time. In the Spring of 1988 we gave up the other business, (exhaust systems), rented part of the premises that we still operate from now, and went full time.

We had a good start in the boom years of the late eighties, which set us up well enough for us to ride the storm of recession in the years that followed. As the years went on the number of cars going through our hands increased gradually, we built up a workforce, and now in 2009 we carry a stock of around 40 to 50 vehicles and there are ten of us here. In 1999 we were awarded 'International Classic Car Dealer of the Year' by Classic Cars Magazine. The market for 'our' kind of cars is nicely stable, generally prices are creeping upwards all the time, and we feel that investing in a car - or cars - of the type that we sell is generally a great place to put your money. Don't do it just for investment, but you can get a great deal of pleasure from these vehicles, prices are - in our opinion - unlikely to drop, and you can't drive a share certificate! Some prices in the last three or four years have moved up considerably, and these cases have shown a tremendous return on investment.

Over the last fifteen years or so we have brought home several hundred cars from the USA, and we are always looking for more. If you know of a Rolls-Royce or Bentley anywhere in the world, in absolutely any condition, please let us know. Distance no object, commissions happily paid. We always particularly enjoy the 'barn finds'.
