INTERIOR DESCRIPTION: | retrimmed as per original in 1964, does not have
any of the normal 1604 Formal sedan features.
Factory conversion and sale as Formal Sedan may
have been an inducement to attract buyers to the
excess 1603 Sedans. | EXTERIOR DESCRIPTION: | Looks OK but has had no major TLC since the 1960's. Runs very well but
has a 4.69 diff ( as all export 1603's ) | ||

VEHICLE HISTORY/ PROJECT STATUS: | I drove the vehicle in 1965 and purchased it in 199. It was no different. Has unsubstantiated provenance as one of Sir Macpherson Robertson's cars (a Packard nut of the 19teens, twenties and thirties). It is great to drive but needs a lower numerical diff ratio. | ||||
