I found the remains of this car on a farm near Ely in the mid 80's and sold it c. 1995. According to the chassis register it belonged to a member of the VAR but they have no record of it after 2006. Anyone know where it is now?

Yes, VAR have told me that it is only a rolling chassis now. When I found it, the roof and rear of the body had been cut off and the rest driven around the farm by children. I have a photo somewhere, I will try to find it.

Hi Jon, it was a steel saloon, what we used to call a "short chassis Box" but would now be either RL or RM. It had the 1930 type front wings with the raised moulding round the edge and louvred rather that plain bonnet sides. There was no trace of upholstery.
