Commentaires du vendeur sur 1948' Packard Eight Sedan
H&H Classics Limited - Imperial War Museum, Duxford Auction
Viewing Day: Tuesday 18th June 2019
Auction Day: Wednesday 19th June 2019 @ 13:00.
Estimate: £9,000 - £11,000
- Rare RHD example verified by the Packard Club of Great Britain
- Originally supplied to Australia
- Imported to UK in 2004, recent work to clutch, brakes and electrics
In 1948 Packard gave its range a wholesale makeover. Known as the 'inverted bathtub', the new look was longer, sleeker and more streamlined. Three series (all eight-cylinder) were now available: Standard/Deluxe, Super and Custom, the latter in either standard or long-wheelbase versions, which were powered by Packard's 'Thunderbolt' inline side-valve engines of 288cid, 327cid and 356cid respectively.
This rare righthand drive sedan was originally domiciled in Western Australia where it resided until importation to the UK in 2004. Not registered with DVLA until 2018 following customs clearance (NOVA on file) the car has had much recent attention to its clutch, braking system and electrics. Offered with Swansea V5C, letter from the owners club of Great Britain and import paperwork, this rare example, finished in Blue / Beige with Beige interior, is described as having "very good" bodywork and 3-speed manual transmission with "good" paint, electrics and 4.6-litre straight-eight engine.
