Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / Close Coupled fixed head Coupes

« on: October 10, 2012, 17:25:25 »

Does any one know how many of the 1933 Close Coupled Fixed Head coupés are still in existence?
   
   The chassis numbers are L32,L36,L38,L39,L40,L44,L46,L48,L54,L58,L59 and L69.
   
   These are the same body type as the Hurlock Monte Carlo 1933/1934 car.
   
   I believe that the Hurlock car is still in existence but as for the others?
   
   Any information would be of help in the valuation of L69.

Just Back from Stanton Motor Sport having had one of our ACE's having a periodical re tune on Steve's Rolling Road.
   
   We have always had a close and friendly relationship with Steve for many  years, always doing the best we can to help each other out.
