Below, the same car, at the Thames Ditton works in the 1960's, alongside a 428 convertible. The vintage 4-cyl. 12/24 was then owned by Bernard Garrett, who had some fine veteran and vintage cars and was a stalwart of the Veteran Car Club and prominent in the ACOC at the time. He had bought the car in 1947 for £4 11s. 4d. It lay in a walled yard and a crane was needed to retrieve it! Bernard then completely restored it. The car went to Western Australia in 1980 and was on display in a museum for some years, then sold at auction in 2009 and returned to the UK.
