Description

"Douggie" as he is called, has had three very careful owners. He lived with his first owner in Suffolk for almost 22 years. The second owner kept the car for about 6 months. We've owned the car since 2003. Originally buying Douggie for our son to learn to drive in, we quickly realised that he was too good for that. We've covered about 600 miles taking him to various car shows.

Modifications

The car has not been modified. Original tyres replaced with new 12inch tyres on original rims with trims. New front and rear screen rubber chrome inserts along with new master cyclinder. This car has never been welded and the spare has not been used. He has a lead pellet insert, to allow it to run on leadfree petrol

Hints/Tips

A classic period car that raises quite a lot of interest at car shows. This is a Spanish built English model, probably sold during one of the many strikes at Dagenham.
