The motorcar is resplendent in a livery of light blue-gray and dark blue two-tone coachwork with a black top and proper wire wheels. The trim is in most elegant in blue leather with beautiful woodwork throughout. This complements the new black tires and nice brightwork (chrome plating).

This motorcar bares its original British plates, OJ 5237, which were issued on December 30, 1932. By 1939, this motorcar was owned by a Mr. William Carless on 187 Holyhead Rd in Handsworth, Birmingham. Interestingly the car was bought new and resided entirely within the town of the Lanchester Motor Company, in Birmingham, England until being transported to California in 1969. Mr. Jones, the present owner, acquired this elegant example nearly four decades <b>...</b>
