INFORMATION AS PROVIDED BY CURRENT OWNER:
Asking Price: $42,500.00
This 1958 BN4 was purchased by me in 1984 and underwent its first
restoration. It was originally from Riverside, California and has had
2 previous
owners besides myself. The speedometer is original and
shows 33810 miles.
Two years after purchase the car underwent a frame up restoration
with transmission and engine rebuilds.
Almost all of the car has the original parts that have been refurbished.
The following were done during that time:
- rebuilt brake and slave cylinders
- new 72 spoked silver wheels
- new tires
- 2 coat metallic brown paint (originally primrose yellow)
- all chrome redone
- new rugs
- new seat covers (vinyl)
- new boot liner
- totally restored hardtop same color as car
- electronic ignition
- convertible top and tonneau
- SS exhaust
- all new electrical harnesses
- tripod headlights
The car has been carefully driven and maintained since then and
has seen no
rain, no snow and has been garaged for the winters.
The under frame has not
been restored.
Everything in the car works properly including overdrive and an
add-on vacuum gauge which reflects excellent engine function.
There are
no tools nor a jack.
Archived by the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust -
" This was a very
early Abingdon-built 100-Six, in fact the 365th car
built at Abingdon, which
may explain any difference in the all-weather
equipment compared to later
cars."
The all-weather features are somewhat in common with the 100-Four
and have been retained.
Overall this is a fully equipped excellent driver in need of nothing.
It also
represents an unmolested frame and body that could easily
be transformed
into concours material.
Photos are available to interested parties.
Appraised in 2008 by Vintage Car Connection at $48,500 Canadian.
Car is presently garaged on Lake Eugenia, Ontario.
