This is Ray Mann’s 1939 Roadster. Ray bought the car in January 2007, and says it seems to be in very good condition – not concours, but very useable.
The car is fitted with bumper bars front and rear, which were standard equipment for export models. It also has the betyler quality, sliding glass side screens, which were an optional extra for the UK and may also have been supplied with the export models.
The car was exported to Ceylon when new, and was re-imported to the UK in 1982, and was then fully restored.
