  • Despatched from the factory on 21/08/1951 to a dealership called Glanfield Lawrence in Bristol
  • OHW 256 was the original registration number. Fully matching numbers - supplied with copy of factory build sheet and VOC Dating Certificate
  • Offered with the current V5C
  • Family-owned since 1993
  • Serviced in 2023 with new tyres - now in good working order
