As the auctioneer who helped get the car out if the coach house I can confirm the car is a lovely example with great local Gloucester history having been first registered in 1927, it even has the enamel dashboard plaque for the Gloucester supplier. It has buff logbook, early v5 but is still on the DVLA system so should be easy enough to sort the paperwork and registration.
When discovered some of the brightwork was removed, I've put pieces back on the car as best I can to show what's there but as Tony says, please do come and have a look, everyone's standards are differeny. I was surprised at how tidy it is given the length of time it's been tucked away, the brakes work and weren't sized on, the tyres seem to be holding air and engine turns.
If it were me I'd get it running as is rather than restore it, bear in mind the original engine is with the car it could be rebuilt and fitted when ready.
Here's a link to the best listing, it has all the extra photographs
Please do come and see it, email for more photographs or ask any questions if of interest.
If vehicles with nice history interest you do also see the 1927 Cotton racing motorbike and 1929 BSA which has had local owners for all of its life, other than the supplier and one man who took it to university it's lived within a 3 mile radius for its entire life!
