Supplied new in 1955 this groovy little A30 was fully restored through late 2017 with photographs on file of the works undertaken including an engine rebuild to stock 998cc spec and a retrimmed interior.
The car comes to us from a private collection along with three other A30 and A35’s, all fully restored by the vendor’s firm bar the van, which is totally original. As a result, the works have been carried out through the business and no documentation is presently available to support the works – but take a look at the cars and its plain to see the level of detail and restoration carried out.
Sitting on standard wheels with chrome caps, the black bodywork looks very solid, the car looking like it has just stepped straight out of an episode of Heartbeat.
The history file contains the V5C, photographs of the restoration, Heritage certificate and a selection of maintenance books. This A30 is of course MOT and Tax exempt but is ready to be enjoyed.
