Subject: LJ8429 previous history Dear All, Can anybody help with the history of our 16/80 LJ8429? Type: SWS-ST24 Eng no. 2215 Car no. S10466 Timing chest mark: S296 (there is what looks like a faint heart shape below this number). LJ8429 was first registered in Bournmouth on the 06/10/33. There is a mention of a Brian Thesby (or Thersby) of Preston 05/12/73 and he may have been a previous owner. The previous owner to me was a Peter G Towers (deceased) who bought LJ8429 at an auction at Alexandra Palace on the 08/10/75. LJ8429 was re-bodied as a tourer in 1977 by Cookes of Birmingham. I bought LJ8429 at a Brightwells auction in October 2008. This is the only history I have of our car and the only pictures I have are of it as a tourer. Please if anybody knows anything about our car or has any old archive pictures I would very much like go know. Incidentally Peter Towers also owned a M45 saloon which he sold to Herb Schofield in 1982 and this car was AEL 30. Thanks for reading Best regards Chris (H81) cahallett@btinternet.com |
