Nº of CYLINDERS/DISPLACEMENT (CM3): 8/4021 ENGINE: Combustion. BRAND: Gardner. TYPE: Expl. 4T.
OBSERVATIONS:

Good condition overall, with several anterior restorations, and already for a decade.

The mechanical works very fine including carburetion and response, with marches very short up to the third. The engine has been cared for by a specialist and still has not lost its power and distinctive sounds.

Brake pads resist time, but with the current road it is impossible to respond to, as well as would any other car, they tend to heat up and not slow down if you do not do with advancement of the reaction, predictable in these models with lugs and opening and pressure drum.

The deposit was changed in his day, and seems that the exhaust system of the car was also changed at the time of its last restoration.

The interior is new, even that denotes a finish exente quality, has nothing to envy to the original. In the case of the console and glove box, it is evident the change and the non-originality of the pieces assembled, to the detriment of their price and appreciation for the nostalgia.

While it retains the great majority of original pieces, we would say that 75% withstands the passage of time and the rest more or less atino and respect for their originality, are parts added or restored. The system of leaf springs in the suspension, completely original and perfectly greased work to perfection. In the details of your accessories is where you truly see that the great majority of them, like flashing lights and rear trims etc....maintain the originality of the model, within its uniqueness as a historical piece. Have added a battery cut-off, which I believe it is essential for the proper functioning of the model.
