1932 ESSEX TERRAPLANE 6

IF YOUR AFTER A RARE CAR FOR INVESTMENT THIS IS IT.. FORGET THE FORD V8 S AND OLD CHEVS AS EVERY SECOND CAR CLUB MEMBER HAS THEM. THIS VEHICLE IS SUPER RARE.. ONLY 3 WERE IMPORTED INTO AUSTRALIA IN 1932 TO OUR KNOWLEGE. WE BELIEVE THIS IS ONLY SURVIVING ONE LEFT IN AUSTRALIA.. WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANOTHER ONE OR ONE FOR SALE IN THE LAST 60 YEARS. OWNED BY MY FATHER SINCE 1955 AND LAST REGD IN HIS NAME IN 1963.. SAME OWNER FOR LAST60 YEARS.. THIS IS NOT SOME OLD WRECK MADE UP OF HALF A DOZEN RUSTED OLD BODIES AND FULL OF BOG COVERED IN 2 PAC TO HIDE IT ALL.. THIS IS A ORIGIONAL ' COMPLETE, DRIVEABLE 83 YEAR OLD CAR.. STARTS OFF THE BUTTON OR OFF THE CRANK HANDLE.. QUIETE, STRONG OLD ENGINE.. ALL GEARS GOOD AND DOES NOT JUMP OUT OF ANY.. ORIGINAL LEATHER TRIM ALL THERE AND USEABLE.. CARPET ON BOTTOM OF DOOR TRIMS HAS DETERIORATED. .. DRIVEN TO WHERE IT IS NOW BY MY DAD 15 YEARS AGO.. USUALLY STARTED EACH YEAR.. POWERFUL 6 CYLINDER ENGINE CAPABLE OF CRUISING CAR AT 75 MPH .. REAR CARRY RACK.. FACTORY R H D.. IN USA THESE EXACT MODELS WERE USED BY FBI AS PURSUIT CARS AS HIGH HP ENGINES AND LIGHT BODY.. A SIMILAR 32 MODEL IN THE USA WAS OWNED BY ORVILLE WRIGHT.. VERY RARE CAR EVEN IN AMERICA. THIS CAR CAN BE STARTED AND DRIVEN ONTO A TRAILER FOR TRANSPORT PURPOSES.. I WOULD NOT DRIVE IT TO FAR ON OLD 70 YEAR OLD BALD TYRES. CAR COULD BE USED IN THIS ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH MINIMUM WORK.. NEEDS A SET OF TYRES, NEEDS GRILL SHROUD RE CHROMING.. NEEDS BUMPER BARS RE CHROMING.. BRAKES WORK.. MECHANICAL BRAKES.. MAY WELL NEED ADJUSTING.. OR IT COULD BE FULLY RESTORED.. MY PERSONAL OPINION IS ITS MORE ORIGINAL AS IT IS.. ANY WAY IF YOU BUY IT THATS YOUR CHOICE I CAN DELIVER IT TO MELBOURNE. IF BUYER PAYS MY COSTS AND FERRY CHARGES. CAR IS BODIED BY RUSKIN. THE 31 MODEL IS A ESSEX.. THE 33 MODEL IS A TERRAPLANE, THIS IS THE CHANGE OVER MODEL AND I IMAGINE IT TO BE ONE OF THE RAREST CARS FOR SALE IN AUSTRALIA AT PRESENT.. MESSAGE FOR INFO AND WE WILL ANSWER TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY.. ONE OWNER LAST 60 YEARS RELISTED AT LOWER PRICE TO ENCOURAGE SALE.. PLEASE NO MORE DEALERS WANTING IT FOR NOTHING SO THEY CAN THEN RE SELL IT FOR 6O GRAND PLUS..GENUINE 1932 MODEL AS STAMPED ON GRILL MASCOT.. TRY FINDING ANOTHER ONE IN AUSTRALIA.. TRY FINDING A RIGHT HAND DRIVE ONE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.. SUPER RARE AND DESIRABLE CAR..
