Build date says I think july 1958. can anyone confirm its originality? Beautiful vehicle. has it been kept in a museum?? The paint work looks that of a 1959 model. Wish it was in my shed. Would be good to see the ID plate.
Title: Re: fc special sedan Post by: FC0058 on February 18, 2005, 11:39:50 AM I have seen this car b4, not in the flesh but in a photo somewhere, I think it was right here on the forum and it was taken in a museum.

Title: Re: fc special sedan Post by: TAYZ on February 18, 2005, 01:01:39 PM This car is immaculate, but.... can someone back me up on the paint scheme being that of a 1959 model??? i'm not doubting this vehicle but it just seems to good to be true to be 100% original.
Title: Re: fc special sedan Post by: FE_STD_WAGON on February 18, 2005, 01:12:59 PM Hi guys, Yep tayz the paint job is a late 59 scheme, the old saying if it sounds to good to be true it usually is ;) Still anice looking vehicle just the same :). I'd like to see all the details on this one maybe some can post them on the forum Regards mick Title: Re: fc special sedan Post by: normd on February 18, 2005, 03:28:52 PM :-/ Guyzz
Should :- ... Unrestored ... 6 Litre ... Automatic .. 100% Original AND "FC"... be in the SAME ad ? :-/ Nice looking car , But I think a few cars in the Club look just as good Norm :) (Mines got 377 miles on the speedo , same mileage as when I bought it in 1974) Title: Re: fc special sedan Post by: Emu on February 18, 2005, 08:00:23 PM Good point Norm,
I think its very clever though, the way they have made the auto look exactly like the old "three on the tree" :D Title: Re: fc special sedan Post by: Fast_Eddie on February 18, 2005, 09:18:00 PM Makes my low mileage sedan (14,500 miles) look like exceptionally good value at $10,000.
Any takers? Regards Edward Title: Re: fc special sedan Post by: fe2ek on February 23, 2005, 05:04:57 AM Its been for sale for ages,was at BlackRock Motor Auctions,been in the Age etc,for at least the last year and a half.
