About this car

This 1934 Packard Eight 1101 Club Sedan is a pre-war American luxury car with the marque's traditional full-instrument dash binnacle and a 320 cubic inch straight-eight. It is finished in maroon metallic over brown suede seating.

The engine has been fully rebuilt during the current owner's tenure, with the bills on file. The cylinder head was retightened after the rebuild at about 17,000 miles, and the odometer now shows just over 20,000. A copy of a 2014 California title records 15,686 miles, so the car has covered roughly 5,000 miles in the years since.

It is UK-registered as YXG567 and comes with a V5C. The owner, who is around 90, has used it sparingly for weekend trips into North Wales, and it is described as keeping up comfortably with modern traffic.
