Time to advertise her to the wider public as I am ready to let her go. Please note that price is negotiable. Hard to find an original car like this.

Hi,

If you're still looking to purchase an original FC, I've probably got what you've been hunting for. Recently decided that I'm now willing to sell.

From September 2009

Hello everyone. I'm a new user of this site. Just found it yesterday. Where have I been?
I own an unrestored FC Special Sedan and thought I would use this site to show the car to people as it has just been sitting in the garage and not being used lately. Possibly looking at selling as I just dont get involved in any club activities these days. It's like stepping back in time when I driver her. I have owned the car since 1995 and it has won several trophies.
Anyway here is a link where you can view some shots. http://www.flickr.com/photos/13051054@N04/?saved=1[/color
47,900 original miles
Has only done 800 miles in the last 5 years.
Colours: Abobe Biege and Olinda Green
She has orange blinker lights and a non-oil bath air filter which were factory standard by Sept 59.
First delivered to Ms Jessie Hodge in Ardlethan on 15th September 1959 (50th birthday coming up very soon!)

Cheers,

Kevin

David,

I have just read your 2 posts from last October relating to the original owner of my FC sedan. Obviously it has been many months since I last logged on here. Thank you so much for your research, it helps paint a more vivid picture of my lovely car back in her heyday. When I first purchased the car, I did some research of my own on its history and tracked down Jessie's daughter who remembered the car very well. Jessie kept the FC until 1975 (herself then aged 76), whereupon it was sold, having travelled only 6,000 original miles and barely run in.

Thanks,

Kevin

No problem Ken. The body number is FC225-35220-S
Chassis No. FC60202S
Engine No. L613581

It was sold as a new car by Jack Payne Motors in Ardlethan back in '59

Hello, my name is Kevin from Sydney and I have just joined this website. I own a well preserved unrestored FC special sedan with low mileage but I'm not sure how to post a photo of the car here. Looking to find out a bit about the current market value of the better unrestored FCs going around (I haven't seen too many) as I am thinking of selling mine to free up space in the garage. The car has won trophies in the past but I no longer get involved in any club activities or shows and the car just sits around.
The insert image icon doesn't seem to work for me here. Excuse my ignorance, but if someone could tell me how it's done I'd very much appreciate it.

Regards,

Kevin
