briancol 3 Report post Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) I went and looked at this yesterday. It's a 1935 Daimler LQ320 It was originally purchased by the NZ Govt. for when King Edward was due to tour NZ but of course he abdicated and never sat in it. It is 2 owners, done 43,358 miles, and been sitting in the barn for 30 odd years Edited October 16, 2010 by C0SM0S Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) doesn't look to bad, but is it not missing the engine? Edited October 7, 2010 by Jamez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted October 7, 2010 My modem hurts. It'd probably cost a fair bit to get it being worth anything. Cool though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
briancol 3 Report post Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) The car is complete. There is a broken door handle, no glass in the drivers quarter window, and the engine head is badly cracked and will need to be recast or another purchased. These are only a few of the photos that I took but you can see the disassembled engine here. Edited October 7, 2010 by C0SM0S Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
briancol 3 Report post Posted October 7, 2010 Not all of us are computer literate Glenn, so instead of just deleting all the pics why didn't you resize them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

39KiwiTouring 2 Report post Posted October 7, 2010 Thats worth a few bob as it sits. What are you doing looking for vintage resto projects Mr Collis?. If you can own that resonably, then do that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
briancol 3 Report post Posted October 8, 2010 Thats worth a few bob as it sits. What are you doing looking for vintage resto projects Mr Collis?. If you can own that resonably, then do that. Will probably put it straight on ebay and see if I can't find a buyer in the UK. The Poms pay top dollar or should I say pound for this sort of thing.

39KiwiTouring 2 Report post Posted October 8, 2010 Hell yeah pre WW2 with history like that, it's worth some good money. I would partially assemble it throw the broken engine back in the hole put it back together best you can before listing it and give it a wash. Looks like a marriage split up like that.

briancol 3 Report post Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Got to get it back to Auckland first, then I'll make the decision about what to do with it. They tell me that if I remove the paint from the drivers door it will expose the NZ Govt signage that was originally there.

bravo 35 Report post Posted October 13, 2010 Hey Brian, did your wife write the ad? Just kidding mate, but it's full of typos. Get yourself some better pics, write the ad properly, and you'll add 20% to the value. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
briancol 3 Report post Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) That ad is only temporary. The car arrives in Auckland on Saturday and we will get a chance to clean it up a little and get much better photos. Those pics were taken where I found the car, stuck in the corner of a large shed and not much room to get decent shots of it.

briancol 3 Report post Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) Well the car is now in Auckland and I have had a chance to get a couple of better pics of it. The Engine and other parts are inside the car and I need to get them out, but this is how it arrived yesterday.
