This 1928 Chevrolet is a former concours winner that has starred in multiple TV shows. It is believed to have been built in South Africa and owned by a British army colonel between the wars. It was imported to England in 1990, then displayed in Fulching Motor Museum, and has been registered to its latest keeper since 2013. 

The car comes with a large history file containing various invoices and a large amount of information prepared by previous owners. A description of restorative works carried out during the 1990s and early 2000s mentions much mechanical overhauling, including a gearbox rebuild. It was MoT tested annually without advisories between 2005 (when DVLA records were digitised) and its last test in 2011 at 88,480 miles.

Please note: This car does start and drive but the starter motor has failed and has been sent off for repair. This will either be returned to ACA and fitted to the car before it is collected by the winning bidder or sent directly to the purchaser's address for fitting, dependent upon location. 

Paperwork also includes a meticulous history of Chevrolets of this period, photos of this car with various TV celebrities, an instruction handbook, club magazine, and the car's current V5C.
