Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / Twins - HOU 800
« on: September 24, 2017, 06:36:17 »
Excited to say that I was successful high bidder on HOU800 aka EL1382 this past weekend at an auction in Norwich area. Of particular delight to me is that this is the same car that was purchased by my Fathers good friend Dr Blaine Nashold in 1986 and imported to the US. The reality is he bought it because my Dad's connection to his Father (my Grandad) Sam Wightman having such an intimate connection with the car on the design and build front at Buckland Bodyworks. I actually picked the car up with my Dad at the port in Wilmington, NC in 1986. Delighted shes back in the fold. I needed another Buckland like I needed a hole in the head but James Kent made me do it!Thanks again James for checking her out for me before I made by bidding presence known. You are a good friend!

Is there a source for the latches that attach the top/roof to the windscreen frame? Looks simple and wondering if another had identical fitted?

I note that on my recently purchased Buckland there is an ACOC sticker/window decal. Are they still available for purchase?

Other than the obvious i.e. Running gear what all,is interchangeable between the Buvkland and the saloon? Presumably trafficators are as an example what body parts are? Bonnet? Boot lid! Spare tyre body panel opening? Wings? Door hardware?Windshield glass? Grille? Bumpers?

Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / New colour scheme on Buckland?
« on: November 16, 2015, 06:57:11 »
Started to strip the paint off of EL1573 aka the Danish Countess Buckland. It's most recent livery was a primrose almost creme yellow over a BRG esque bottom. I thought for sure it was a blue all over original colour but the more I scrape I think it may have been two tone originally with similar primrose yellow over the blue? I will continue to investigate but perhaps this is another one off colour scheme? Of those that have stripped theirs to bare metal did you experience red oxide primer first and then a grey primer? A second look or thought was that it might have been grey over blue two tone. Well my archaeological dig will continue!

Well after many years of wanting one, given my Grandads involvement with the design and building of the Buckland I am now the proud owner of one. It has an interesting history having been owned originally by the Countess Annette Jean Moltke in Denmark. A gift to her by her Count husband. It is a 1951 with body number EL 1573 and matching engine. I purchased in June and it arrived in the U.S. last week from Denmark. It will need a full restoration but appears ago be in very original shape and condition. Will keep you all posted on its progress. I will join the ACOC but it appears it doesn't make sense to do so until January due to the dues structure.

In going through some of my Fathers records I have found some correspondence on this car. If the new owner of this car would like it please contact me at dsjw66@gmail.com this information would be from when the car was purchased from a London dealer and shipped to NC after its purchase by Dr Blaine Nashold. Dr Nashold and my Father were good friends and my Dad a lot of the maintenance and upkeep on the car.

I'm interested in purchasing a Buckland Drophead coupe. Please let me know if you are aware of any on the market. My Grandfather was intimately involved in building these cars and I'm very interested in purchasing one!
