This is a great car, it may not be an expensive Classic, but it goes to 80 mph like nothing and is one of my favourites for fast touring. it was extensively restored at 62,000 miles original and now has 70,000 miles on the clock. I purchased the car in 1991 and would be great with disc brakes. These cars were imported as RHD original and I imagine that they were assembled as RHD in Detroit. They were all Ultramatic in Australia after about 1950 and I have not seen any original manual gearbox cars post 1950. I may of course be incorrect, please let me know. Peter Toet
