Very Very Rare & desirable with just three examples known to the register. The 80 Snipe boasts a large 3.5 litre 6 cylinder engine giving it serious performance for its day & effortless cruising.

The large touring body by noted Cricklewood builders Thrupp & Maberly is finished in black over burgundy with beige flashes to the door tops & beige wire wheels making for a very smart appearance. The white soft top is also in good condition.

To the interior is red ambla covering the seating surfaces & matching deep red carpets. A large motoring trunk sits on the back. An original winged stork mascot sits to the front,only lacking its protruding rubber beak.

The 3445cc engine has had much work done to it including renewal of the liners, valves, flywheel & radiator core. As a result the motor runs beautifully & smoothly with ample power. The four speed gear box is a delight to use with gears being easily selected from the centrally mounted lever. A large Klaxon sits under the bonnet.

With classic car prices rising, large capacity 6 cylinder tourers are appreciating more then lesser cars & make for a solid investment. The car is ready for immediate use.
