Is it possible?  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.

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.

Maybe after the lotto draw on Saturday night ...

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.

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

Nice looking car , But I think a few cars in the Club look just as good

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

Makes my low mileage sedan (14,500 miles) look like exceptionally good value at $10,000.

Any takers?
