FTG 630C was purchased by the vendor's deceased husband in October 1989. It was purchased from Steve Jones of Penarth, who had owned the car since 1978. It was in daily use until 1981 when he decided to restore it. Taking until 1987, the restoration was exhaustive, and his handwritten account remains in the history file, detailing the fact that the bodywork was lead-loaded and repainted, engine, suspension and ancillary equipment were all rebuilt. After the rebuild, the car won 1st in class at Beaulieu National Motor Museum and, in the 2 years until it was sold, won a total of 14 concours awards, a list of which is in the history file.
The deceased owner used the S-type for local shows and rallies, and used it as often as he could, to enable as much regular running as possible; indeed, he attempted to use all his cars at least once a month. However, since he passed away, the vehicle has remained unused and, as noted above, will require careful re-commissioning and safety checks prior to use by a new owner. It should be noted that the engine number is incorrectly recorded as 7B4187-S on the V5C, whereas the actual number is 7B2774-8. Documentation includes a current V5C, a photocopy old-type V5, the aforementioned notes on restoration and list of awards, copy newspaper clippings, some photographs, and miscellaneous papers.
Presently on SORN.
