From the seller: “Here for sale is my p5b one of the first with the buick 3.5 v8 petrol engine in silver over blue.
I bought this from mathewsons car auctions as a none running project to do at weekends. however i have had alot of time off work recently and had to give up my storage space so it is currently sat under tarpaulin on my drive an d i would prefer it not to go through a winter outside as its an old car.
I am half way through recommissioning it and it does know drive and more importantly stop i have driven it a couple of times close to home. however winning bidder would be best trailering her away as it still requires a bit of work doing to get her through a modern mot;ie horn needs attention bushes on running gear could do with updating and a few bulbs need replacing.
According to info supplied to mathewsons from previous owner she had a full restoration in the 90s so she is not a complete basket case. I have spent thousands on her this last year so should be a very easy winter project to get her as a daily runner.
