Historical Background:
The vehicle features the original odometer reading of 9,720 miles. It was initially given to Tom Breen as a source of spare parts for a 1929 Siddeley Cotswold Tourer he bought. However, upon closer inspection, Tom discovered that the vehicle contained a complete engine. This inspired him to undertake a full restoration project.
The Coach Builders:
The coachbuilders Bates and Sons were located in Gorey, County Wexford. The model is designated HP14.4, with chassis number 23826, registration number MI2300, and engine number 18830. It is worth noting that the vehicle had been converted to a hearse around 1937. Evidence of this conversion was uncovered when the paint was scraped back on the doors and bonnet, revealing the original blue colour, which has since been restored.
The Vehicle is stored in Co. Wicklow, Ireland.
