The New Avon Body Co.Ltd. was established in 1922, just one of a prolific group of bespoke coachbuilders based in the heart of the British motor industry. Their early business was dominated by coachwork manufacture for Lea-Francis, however an association with The Standard Motor Co.Ltd. was forged through the Jensen brothers who asked Avon to put into production one of their designs built on a Standard Nine chassis. Jensen influence and design flair on both Standard and Austin chassis certainly established New Avon as a coachbuilder of some significance'. This example is in fair/useable condition, having been in long term ownership. We understand that the car was purchased in 1965 but it has never been restored in that time. This extremely pretty car would benefit from some improvement in all areas and we understand that it hasn't been used since 2014, so some recommissioning would be appropriate. It is offered for sale with a buff continuation logbook and a V5. There is a spare engine sold with this car.

This and 60 other classic cars will be sold at auction, on March 4th at Allington, Chippenham, Wiltshire SN14 6LJ
