Church Stoke S2 412
 

I have already been discussing this vehicle with Chris and it is an early Series 2 412.

Surely the LPG conversion cannot have been done by Bristol Cars and I wonder whether anyone has a picture of what the official conversion looked like and how much of the boot was taken up by it.

I also noticed that it does not appear to have a cruise control that my previous 412 had and it will be interesting to see further pictures which Chris is going to supply.

The late-owner's daughter has produced a short video walk-around of the car on tickover, it is of poor audio quality so it is difficult to tell, but the engine does sound as if it will need serious recommissioning.

Chris might be accustomed to dealing with such cars as a restorer of them, however, with 19 of them to deal with at quite a distance, he really has taken on quite a task!

I wonder what others think the value of this car might be in its present condition?

Reduced to reflect work required on the car - its solid and doesn't require panel or paintwork - However it does require an exhaust system, work on the brakes and it has a fuel leak on the petrol side - Would detail well but requires a few days detailing rather than a few hours - It starts, runs & drives but requires a new battery - £8,450 - Deceased estate sale - Has been dry stored & Must be the cheapest running 412 in the market - Could assist in trailered delivery at a reasonable cost - Absolutely no dreamers / tyre kickers / quibblers or time wasters at this type of money
