Seller's comments about 1930' Panhard Levassor

What a cool car , This remarkable pre war 1928 Panhard Levassor, represents a fantastic example of early French automotive engineering. Panhard et Levassor were among the pioneers of automobile manufacturing, producing a range of advanced vehicles, particularly noted for their six cylinder models. The X57, built between 1926 and 1931, featured an elegant design and innovative engineering, including a 3. 4L inline six sleeve valve engine. This particular car has a chassis dating from 1928, a body completed in 1929, and was exported to the UK where it was first registered in 1930 Finished in Black with a Red pinstripe and complemented by a matching Black interior, the car presents beautifully while retaining its period charm. Not quite an oily rag car but charming in all respect and of quality . A stand out feature is the extensive history archive included with the vehicle. This comprises a large collection of documentation, including photo albums, historic MOT certificates, tax discs, and detailed records of work carried out over the years. Notably, there is a documented restoration timeline beginning in 1979, supported by photographs that capture various stages of refurbishment . The car itself remains in very sound condition. Even the doors shut in line showing great engineering for such a quality vehicle of its time. The 3. 4L sleeve valve engine runs smoothly and performs well. The satin like paint finish suits the cars character, while the hood is in good condition, A dominating car standing out in a crowd. The large Marchal headlamps are fully working and in excellent condition as are the semaphore arms. The interior is impressively well-preserved for its age and features charming period details such as brass fittings and a correct era fire extinguisher Regularly driven on weekends the current owner confirms that the car runs and drives as it should.
