Hello All
Had another previous owner contact me to give a few details of the cars history.
He owned the car from 56 to 76 and believes it was a fabric Wydor saloon.
He states:
"The person I bought it from acquired it from the original owner from new in the early fifties, a disabled elderly lady who apparently had it fitted with a (Humphry Sandberg?) free wheel, very soft coil springs(!) and Michelin balloon tyres, all of which which were still in place. He said it was almost undriveable in this state and removed the coil spring conversion and free wheel although the operating lever for this was still in place when I acquired it in 1956. It was in superb original condition having apparently covered very few miles with the original owner. I used it as everyday transport for several years including an epic ten day (very fortunately!) trouble free expedition to John o Groats returning via the west coast and principal lake district passes. (Somewhat grainy photos attached )"
Might be of some interest.
