Owner Comments
Sold to Prince William of Gloucester in September 1963. The car was shipped directly to California as William was attending Stanford. The car has always been RHD. William sold the car to Jim King in 1964, Jim must have owned it for more than fifty years.

I will run the car for a summer or two, then restore it to it's 1963 specification, including a Medici blue repaint.
