Vehicle Detail

Here's your chance to own a classic antique car! Owned and pampered by present owner since 1990. This rare automobile was previously owned by Chris Hood of the famous Hood Sailmakers of Marblehead, Massachusetts. It was shipped to the U.S. from Liverpool, England in 1985. It was purchased from a specialty English car restorer in Wenham, Massachusetts --- by present owner --- and brought to Pennsylvania. It still sports its original European license plates, front and rear, but was licensed as an Antique in Pennsylvania. This car is a real head-turner. Has won 50 trophies through the 7-8 years it was being shown. Presently, the engine is turning, almost but not quite starting ( fuel pump?), also needs front brake work and other minor repairs. Cosmetically it needs practically nothing to continue on the Car Show circuit. Potential buyers urged to come see car. Must be seen to fully appreciate. Call (814) 943 4099 or (814) 312 7778 if you have question or if you want to schedule to come to see this car. I want to be sure that this beautiful little car is "adopted out" to a good home. It has been my pride and joy for 22 years. Present owner getting older --- too many hobbies --- wishes to travel.
