1932 2-seater for sale in Germany

[Ian Grace]

When we lived in Germany back in the 90's, a chap named Herbert Scheuermann became a friend. He lived in the lovely medieval town of Michelstadt about ten miles from our house. He was restoring a 1932 2-seater Minor and I helped him with parts, info., etc.

This morning I received an e-mail from him, after some 20 years or more since we last met. After owning the car for 39 years, he is now having to sell the car due to health problems. Anyone interested in this car should contact me for more info. Should be an easy restoration to complete.

Chassis SV19059, registered GY 3515.

of the registration book (ending 1976 when I bought the car) and a handwritten sales
