The vendor has provided the following:

  • 1958 Ford Prefect
    Owned for over 25 years. It's been a great car, many memories, but time for her to go to new pastures
  • Was running last year, had full service new points and plugs, etc
  • But this year, I don't have the time and strength to get her going again
  • Only used it a few times, and it spent more time in my garage than on the road
  • I then decided to gift it to my very good lifelong friend Paul Johnson, who owned a reclaim business in Preston and had a tv programme on the discory channel featuring his business, Called ribble Reclamation, a salvage yard selling old architecture, Stone, flags, fireplaces, etc, and there it sat in the pop in the yard for years right outside the office
  • Sadly, Paul passed away a few years ago, and the car came back to me
  • It’s now been in my garage for a few years, and if I’m honest, I’ll never get round to recommissioning her, so I decided to send her to Mathewsons
  • All monies from the auction will be donated to St Catherine's Hospice, Bamber Bridge in Preston
