I went to see the car, but was not impressed, it was a significant rolling restoration, with lots of hidden gremlins.

The car did not sell, interesting given that it had cost the vendor £23,000 at Bonham's last year.

I have viewed the car before, and I am happy to pass my notes onto anyone who might be interesting in viewing / buying this car.

There are now lots of new pictures of the car on the Bonham's web-site.

I hope this time, the car makes it to auction under its own steam and with the original tank and fuel links now all cleared.

Will be interesting to see what it makes at auction, prices for the 2.6 dhc's do seem to cover the full spectrum.

I was surprised that this car did not sell, when offered a second time, at a reduced price.

This car, a 2.6 dhc from 1950, is now being offered for a 3rd time, since unsold at Bonham's Beaulieu in September and H&H last summer.

Also unsold after private advertisements as well.

The new venue is Bonham's Oxford, where the vendor first purchased this car back in 2012, for ca. £23k.

Saturday 8th of March, no estimate yet, previously unsold with estimates of £15-20k
