This extremely rare Vauxhall Light Six tourer was purchased new by the manager of Carbodies Limited, Coventry and first licensed in 1937. At some time during the early 1940s the car was acquired by a Christopher Charles Ancil of Weston-on-the-Green, Oxfordshire, who used it regularly until it was laid up in the 1980s. The car remained unused thereafter until Mr Ancil's death when it was left to his nephew who commissioned an extensive body-off restoration. Undertaken by Wychwood Vintage & Classic Cars of Ascott-under-Wychwood, Oxfordshire, the rebuild took approximately four years to complete and was finally finished in June 2000 when the car was MOT'd.

Since completion 'CBY 132' has covered very few miles and is in impeccable condition mechanically and cosmetically with excellent paintwork, re-trimmed leather interior and new hood. It's strong six cylinder engine pulls well and gear selection is smooth.

A superb four-seat post-Vintage thoroughbred tourer designed by one of the countries most forward thinking and innovative coach builders, the car is offered with old-style logbook and Swansea V5. Also with the car is a large history file including restoration receipts and even a black and white photo of a previous owner.
