Four Classic Cars & Trucks ‘Restoration Projects’ Emerge From A Derbyshire Field After 35 British Winters & Summers To Be Sold By H&H Classics
UNITED KINGDOM / AGILITYPR.NEWS / April 21, 2020 / Two classic cars and two classic trucks which have survived the rigours of three decades of British weather with no protection, will be auctioned by H&H Classics on April 29th in an online sale.
It is something of a miracle that these four vehicles have survived at all given the rain, wind, snow and sun of our climate. But, having done so, they are deserving of the best restoration a new passionate owner can lavish on them.
The vehicles are part of much larger collection that Roger Nowell of H&H recently discovered standing in fields and barns on a Derbyshire farm.
Roger comments: “Each of these four vehicles are interesting and important and would make wonderful classic car and truck projects. Once they have had lots of TLC and are returned to concours condition each would be a proud addition to any collection.”
The four vehicles are:
1933 Invicta 12/45 Saloon - Estimate £7,000 - £9,000.
1933 Leyland Badger Breakdown Truck - Estimate £3,000 to £6,000.
