With a special coupe body.
What a lovely car. A bit silly of course with the useless big hood irons. Pity it seems to be missing its rear bumper, rear lamp cover and a couple of window winders. Does this really have two wind up windows per door?
Seems in a pretty good condition. Too good to fully restore in my view.

The rear quarter-bumpers are shown loose on the passenger's seat; the rear lamp arrangement seems to include flashers, so will not be original. It looks like the side windows can be lowered in two halves, hence the two winders!

A very unusual car, lovely patina.

I once had a 1934 Minx that was called the '4-Light Saloon'. That had the rear quarter windows blanked and dummy hood irons in place.

A very interesting, possibly even unique car. I am intrigued by the door/window treatment.

This is obviously a car for conservation rather than restoration in my opinion.

A very smart and interesting preservation prospect!

Agreed, conservation rather than full on restoration.

Made just over 9K. A good price.
