Comments from the seller

Very rare 48-215-257 Business Sedan. 1 of approx 8 x known survivors from approximately 650 only built between July to September in 1953.This Business Sedan has matching numbers with original engine. What makes this a collectors dream is I also have on Carsales its consecutive running bodied numbered Business Sedan ,that’s right they sat together on the assembly line in 1953 then separated 1x sent to Victoria the other in SA, 6 x decades later they reunited and have been together ever since.This would be one the rarest pair of Humpys around .They were only made in Black or cream and this one is originally Black with Truro brown interior.Has minimal rust and if you are going to restore a Humpy you may as well restore a rare one.Would love to see them go to the same home together and not separated again and would do a deal to make this happen.
