Afternoon all
Yes great photos and glad to see the owners braving the December elements, well done to them both.
Both cars have been known to the RSR under several ownerships during the last 30/35 years.
BXP 667 is a 1935 12 saloon chassis no. 512083, the vertical bonnet louvres confirm this. According to the archives it was 'found' out in the open in a 'very sorry state' in 1972 and was restored over the next 3 years by the then owner, and was last in the RSR about 20 years ago. Anyone with old back numbers of Freewheel will find a photo of it in FW 220 April 1990.
GPL 201 is a 1939 12 saloon chassis no 911438, it was up for sale on ebay Oct 08 with recent £1600 service!!! asking price £7,950. First in the RSR back in 1971 when described as 'in need of total restoration', subsequently restored and described as cond B in 1983, last in the RSR 10 years ago.
