1938 4 seater “Le Mans” EVR804
I see in Miscellany that EVR804 is being offered for sale. This car had a 4 page feature in Classic Cars magazine in February 1990.
1938 order specification:
4 seater, black, aluminium spoked disc wheels, large tonneau cover, cycle type wings, outside exhaust system, tuned engine, downdraft carburettor, rev counter, sloping tail, compression ratio 7.5 to 1
The original buff logbook describes the car as a 4/4 Le Mans
I have been fortunate to be allowed to take approximately 500 detailed photos of this car by Peter Carter over the last 9 years, with the exception of a refinish of the paintwork on the dynamo casing, spark plugs, and a replacement battery this car is 99.9% original to prewar condition. All original parts are with the car (Factory literature, KLG 831 spark plugs, Newton front dampers, &c), it is a gem. I hope that the new custodian is as careful to maintain (and cherish) probably the best example of a pre-war Series 1 in existence.
Regards
Bill
