1936 Hillman convertable rumble seat roadster rh drive

Selling at NO RESERVE what is believed to be a 1936 Hillman. It is a convertible rumble seat roadster; drop head coupe. or touring car. The question in description is because the vehicle is believed to have been built by a custom coachbuilder. It was purchased used in Singapore approximately 43 years ago and imported in a container with oil field equipment. It sat in the first owners warehouse for 12 years. the second for 25. and in my garage for 6. If you purchase the vehicle you will receive a Bill of Sale. vehicle has never been titled in the United States. No attempt has been made to start the engine in the last 31 years and it is unknown if an attempt was made the 12 years before that. In the 80's the engine was stuck from sitting so long. The owner for 25 years soaked the engine and it freed up very easily. The starter was then ran off a battery. The starter worked fine and the engine had compression. Engine is complete and looks good. No rust to speak of there. Car has obviously always been out of the weather most if not all of its life. Generator. fan. carb. coil. old fan belt and radiator look very good. Nice threaded radiator cap. Exhaust system is complete. Engine is a flathead four. about 30 BHP at 3800 rpm. Research shows the engine was made from the mid 30's to late 40's. Metal on the car is very good if not excellent for it's age. Frame is all steel and in very good condition. All fenders are solid and good. The fenders show no sign of weld repair. Rear deck panel and rumble seat very good. hood extremely good. Grill is complete with hood ornament. A few dings here and there but none very bad and all easily repairable. Paint is the thickness I have ever seen. Probably had something to do wit great condition of sheet metal. The body has a lot of structural wood and metal wrapped over wood. Some of the wood has deteriorated. primarily on the passenger side (LH side. right hand drive) floor and kick panel and on the driver's side behind the door where the convertible top frame attached. What is bad on one side is good on the other for measuring and visual. etc. Both doors are very good. wood and metal. Hinges are attached to wood on both door and car body. Rumble seat has a drip pan for water run off that is rusted. It is a rectangular panel and is easily repaired or replaced. Sits down under and behind rumble seat. Convertible top is all there but pretty dry rotted. good for a template. Top is loose in rear. was tacked to curved wood running all around rear deck by seat. Attachment hand screws for attaching top to windshield are all there and in very nice shape. Car has side curtains that are in pretty nice shape. discolored from age but very usable. See photo with top up. Side curtains store in box rack on back of front bench seat. seat folds forward for access to curtains. Five Continental 5. 99 x 16 tires. stamped Made in Germany. They are probably original and dry rotted baddy. There are intertubes. which hold sufficient air to roll the chassis. All five original hubcaps with surface rust. Rims are all good to excellent. Note in photo the three lug rims. Front and rear bumpers are complete. Front bumper bracket has a break not bad and very repairable. Upholstery and panels are generally all there. Material is a heavy fabric backed vinyl (?) still flexible. no visible tears. etc. Does have 2 holes. out of sight. see photo. Seat frames are wood bottoms with spring frames and springs. all there. 97579 km on odometer. mechanical brakes all complete nothing missing. four speed manual transmission shifts fine. complete. turn signal controls on steering wheel. dimmer switch on steering wheel. original mechanical pump not present. has block plate bolted to engine. No key. floor pedal for starter. has original manual crank start. Windshield opens up fine. glass is good. Windshield wiper motor is not there. This is one of the best base for restoration of a pre-war vintage convertible with rumble seat. The seat fabric has no fading. which supports it being out of the sun. Tag was included marked “Hillman 1936” might support it was in a museum? License plate is shown (Singapore? )The narrow with of the car makes the LH steer very manageable. But do not think with minimum work you will be able to get in and drive away. Yes. you might be able to drive it up and down your drive way but the motor will need to be rebuilt and the entire car restored. piece by piece. bolt by bolt. nut by nut. and light bulb by light bulb. It is a 6-volt car but can be converted to 12 volt. You are purchasing the car. AS IS. with no guarantee or warrantee. You will be responsible for shipping and transportation of car.
