A lovely patinated 1931 Cheshire registered Fabric Saloon is deservedly attracting bids on eBay. I would guess that this car is one of the last manufactured although the seller states that it was manufactured in 1928. Find it here and if you have a big enough garage (and wallet) bid for it!

Ebay Fabric Saloon
Vendor tells me that the chassis number is M33466, just 1233 cars away from the end of OHC car production. I would imagine very few Fabric Saloons were made after this. Even more reason to bid on this important time capsule vehicle.
This is the ex-Tim Armitage car which was in Jim Peacop's museum for many years - a true time capsule, and vital that we keep track of it if at all possible. Current owner is Mike Hobday in Brecon. He offered it for sale at Beaulieu last year, but there wre no takers. I suspect that his reserve will be in the stratosphere!
