1937 Buick Century Sedan. 60 series. RHD.<br />
Straight Eight Overhead Valve Engine, approx 5,300cc.<br />
Very Big Impressive Powerful car. Not to be confused with the smaller 40 series Buicks of 4100cc. <br />
Make sure you have enough room for it before bidding. Its 17ft 6in long.<br />
Twin Side Mount Spares<br />
Wide White Wall Tyres.<br />
Many "Art Deco" features including bullet style head and sidelights.<br />
Believed to have been imported during the 60s and had a private conversion to Right Hand Drive<br />
Restored around 20 years ago and still presentable.<br />
Tax and MOT exempt.<br />
A great deal of money has been spent on this car by the previous owner, far far more than the asking price to correct the poor amateur mechanical restoration work including,<br />
<br />
Complete new wiring loom.<br />
Conversion to 12 volts with Alternator. Sealed Beam Headlights.<br />
Indicators.<br />
Electric fuel pump.<br />
New Master Cylinder, Wheel Cylinders, Brake linings, Brake pipes and Hoses.<br />

<br />
Negatives.<br />
Speedo stops at 30 MPH for some reason.<br />
Horn button on steering wheel does not work. There"s a button on the dash for horn.<br />
Fuel and Temp gauge can"t be relied on.<br />
Right Hand Drive clutch conversion is by cable. Been working for 40 plus years but just feels weird because of short travel.<br />
<br />
Located just 10 minutes from junction 18, M4<br />
