This example was made in Ryton-on-Dunsmore, Warwickshire, England on March 2, 1962.An airman out of Fort Riley in Wichita, Kansas originally owned this example and it spent a long time stored in the Kansas City region.Ownership records show the car time spent in California, Illinois, Ohio and Iowa, and it is now located in Saint Louis, Missouri. Finished in Moonstone over Scarlet from the factory, this example is reportedly largely unrestored cosmetically and shows a wonderful patina.The Moonstone paint (code 19) is in overall very good order and claimed to be original aside from several touch-ups and repair spots. No body filler is believed to be present and no accidents are known, though multiple places in the finish have been buffed through. Both the front and rear bumpers are present along with their factory over-riders and some exteriorchrome shows minor pitting. The cars glass is in overall good order, the windows are said to function well, though the windshield has pitting present from age. The vehicles lights are in similar overall good shape.An original black soft top has a small tear and a matching tonneau cover is included. The car rides on steel wheels, which have been fitted withwide whitewall Coker tires, size 6.50-13. The cars body panels are straight and solid overall. The trunk with its full-size spare tire is in good shape and the engine bay is in good order.Power comes from a 1.6L inline-four with three main bearings and originally had two Zenith downdraft carburetors. Notable work performed during the past decade include a radiator rebuild, new radiator hoses, a Weber two-barrel/manifold conversion (original dual carbs/manifold are included), new engine gaskets, a valve adjustment, a newflywheel ring gear, a rebuilt fuel pump, new starter, and electronic ignition upgrade. The engine is mated to a four-speed manual transmission. A new battery was fitted in 2016, the car has a newer stainless steel exhaust (~2013) and a new water pump is included. Within the past decade, underside work included new tie rod ends, repacked front wheel bearings, a replacement rear axle bearing and seals, new brake sh s, pads, lines, master cylinder, rebuilt front brake calipers and rear wheel cylinders and a replacement U-joint.The Scarlet interior is believed to be largely original, with some creasing and looseness visible on the front seat bottoms. The bucket seats evidence some sun fade as well. The carpet is in fair condition and appears original. The instrument panel, with its full set of gauges, is in good order, as is the original two-spoke steering wheel. The inner door panels and center console are in fair order while the mirror glass and shift lever look good. The rear seat and rear deck upholstery were recently recovered and are said to match the rest of the interior well. Original tarpaper interior insulation under the snap-in rubber factory floor covering is present. The car has no radio.More than $9,600 worth of maintenance and service receipts, some dating back 15 years, are present, including Sunbeam auto parts guides, photos, articles, parts guides and other, assorted documentation.The Series IIfeatured an enlarged 1,592cc engine and a revised rear suspension but there were few other changes.
