A handsome, well-proportioned and sound car, cheerily finished in yellow & black, with delightful, mature brown leather interior. Appealing touches include louvered bonnet & scuttle, twin side-mounted spare wheels, 'trouser crease' wings, and twin, scuttle mounted, pivoting spot lamps. More interestingly still, the car is discretely fitted with variable, adjustable electric power steering, which works very well, nicely reducing effort input required at slow speeds for parking manoeuvres, etc, but when switched off, retains the correct 'feel' of the original set up. Thoroughly recommended! Tools with the car include wheel spanner, mallet, Dunlop No.10 jack complete with correct, two-piece handle and mounting bracket, starting handle, valve tool and various small open-ended and box spanners. Sold by us 25 years ago, and just back from the same family, a lovely car, well maintained, driving nicely. The history file includes records of considerable maintenance and repair work over the years. Offered prepared, serviced and newly MoT tested.

Snippets: East India Co. & an Italian Title.Gustaaf Miesegaes exported GRW62 on the SS Phrontis from Birkenhead to Batavia on the 6th of May 1933. The Miesegaes family have long been associated with the Dutch East Indies having been involved in the trading empires of the East India Co and MacLaine Watson & Co. In early 1934 Gustaaf married a young Scottish girl Noel Vera Orr and their honeymoon was spent at St. Moritz - they celebrated their 1st anniversary at the Palace Hotel in St. Moritz & the Bystander described her skiing outfits as being "dark green and ribbed and the accessories are scarlet". They divorced within a few years and Noel later became a titled lady - the Marchesa di Salinas. By 1947 GRW62 was back in the UK for a short while before it was exported to America.

About Us:

The Real Car Company was established in 1987 by Ray Arnold & Ian Johnstone. It was a hobby that 'Got out of hand'. Our interest in cars of the type that we now sell goes back to our childhoods, and ownership back to the 1970's. Gradually more cars started passing through our hands, and by 1986 we had decided to make a full time occupation of buying and selling the cars that we love.

We started with a single car (all we could afford) which we sold quickly, and before we knew it we had 4 or 5 on our hands! This was alongside another business that we were involved in at the time. In the Spring of 1988 we gave up the other business, (exhaust systems), rented part of the premises that we still operate from now, and went full time.

We had a good start in the boom years of the late eighties, which set us up well enough for us to ride the storm of recession in the years that followed. As the years went on the number of cars going through our hands increased gradually, we built up a workforce, and we now carry a stock of around 40 to 50 vehicles and there are nine of us here. In 1999 we were awarded 'International Classic Car Dealer of the Year' by Classic Cars Magazine. The market for 'our' kind of cars is nicely stable, generally prices are creeping upwards all the time, and we feel that investing in a car - or cars - of the type that we sell is generally a great place to put your money. Don't do it just for investment, but you can get a great deal of pleasure from these vehicles, prices are - in our opinion - unlikely to drop, and you can't drive a share certificate! Some prices in the last three or four years have moved up considerably, and these cases have shown a tremendous return on investment.

Over the last fifteen years or so we have brought home several hundred cars from the USA, and we are always looking for more. If you know of a Rolls-Royce or Bentley anywhere in the world, in absolutely any condition, please let us know. Distance no object, commissions happily paid. We always particularly enjoy the 'barn finds'.
