If the drophead is an original one, then it is a very rare find. The panelling inside the boot area has been modified. I wonder what it's condition is (under the skin)?

Well, if you fancy a 1949 Drophead that`s a little bit closer to the UK and somewhat more together, there`s THIS ONE on eBay (http://"http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150997809733") at the moment, located in Portugal, at a price of £30,000 or best offer.

The car in Portugal is the prototype Buckland that features on all the Buckland Brochures, the original UK registration was KUR 363 and it was exported in a pretty dire state some 15 years ago. It now looks absolutely fantastic!

KUR 363 (EL1127) had cut-away door tops and early side lamp mountings. The very first Buckland, EL1036, had a unique style of doors not unlike the Saloons. Reg. numbers have sometimes swapped between Bucklands (and Saloons) so it gets confusing!
