Not a great fan of 'barn find' 'patina' as adjectives but if you are - this is the car for you. Stored in a shed in Karoo, South Africa for 60 years has saved this roadster from the usual rust issues. The body is super solid, doors, trunk, cowl bottoms, rocker panels in and out are good - just some small rust spot and some amateur filler work where they go in front of the rear arches. The rear fenders are decent - one split and a few knocks. Front fenders have had some farm repairs where they've split and bits below the grill have been trimmed but definitely saveable. The front grill is missing some bars and chrome gone a long time ago. The hood is a bit bent in places but repairable. The chassis is red rusty but only surface - no serious damage. It has a 4 cylinder engine, not run for years. No radiator. The screen frame is not ford but there is a proper one with it. The soft top fell apart years ago but frame is intact. Seat frame and back is there - base spring doesn't look to be the correct one. Rumble seat back is there, no base.
It is exactly as it came from the shed, so dirt and all still there - this is a great opportunity to get an unmolested example of a rare car - it would make an awesome car whatever your taste - patina style or full refurb. No registration but have Age verification letter and NOVA for registration here which I can help with.
