Launched November 1937 the model 81A carried the 85 hp version of Fords V8. The V8 was an instant success offering new found power and smoothness at an affordable price.

 

This LHD example was restored over a 10 year period to the mid 1980s by its enthusiast owner. Unfortuneatly he was forced to sell the car in 1986 due to illness, since then the car has been on in a Museum with the occassional outing, including taking a starring role in the 1988 Bob Hoskins film Who Framed Roger Rabbit
