After starting life as a Park Ward four door Saloon. the coachwork on the car was nicely converted to a two door Drophead Coupe much later. The design is well balanced. and the work has been done to a good standard. creating a desirable and attractive opening car. which is now in good. useable condition. running and driving well. ideal for fun. but not pristine. Driven the length of France and back again by the last owner. without problems. Now back in the UK after a spell in the Channel Islands. and back on its original UK registration number.
