Lot Ended
Description
Sold new in 1957 to a gent from Dundee, this project 405 moved to the
Birmingham area in 1969.
Its then owner used the car as his everyday -
having it serviced by 'Bentley' Fred who worked for his local
Rolls/Bentley/Rover dealers D H Bloomers and Sons. He sold it to John Linegar of
Caister, Lincs - a well known scrap/car dealer who owned it for two or three
years, selling the car on rather than scrapping it.
The number
plate FTS 572 has sadly fallen off the DVLA radar, although the car looks
relatively complete bar its engine and gearbox.
A project from front to
back, it offers potential to fit a Bristol engine and box from the sale
later this week, or perhaps a more alternative choice might fit the bill at more
modest cost.
