Description

Early pull-handle B; extensive recent restoration; an underside you could eat your dinner off; driven to the sale and running well on site

First registered in May 1963, this sweet little pull-handle Roadster has recently undergone an extensive restoration that saw a full bare metal respray, as well as substantial expenditure on new bits and bobs, both cosmetic and mechanical.

Looking through the history folder there are plenty of invoices from last year for all sorts of things from new trims, new seals, gaskets and service items. We are told that the engine was also rebuilt and although we have no bills for this, there is a photo of the engine in bits and it does look lovely and shiny today. There are also photos of the bodywork being done.

The restoration looks to have been extensive with the underside as good as the top. The seats look original and clash somewhat with the nice shiny paintwork but getting them refurbed is no big deal in comparison to all the other good work that has gone into this car.  

Driven to the sale from Hereford and running nicely on site with healthy 70psi oil pressure, this early and characterful B looks like a cool way to cruise around in the long hot summer that lies ahead of us. It is on offer here at a modest guide price which leaves ample headroom to take it to the next level if desired.
