Hello Alan
HN 8549. Mulliner body.
HN belong to a friend of my Roy Ferret. It had been a wedding car and was white when Roy bought the car,in the 1970s from a dealer in Sheffield, where Roy and myself lived, Roy was brilliant engineer and sold HN when he bought a very earl 12/4 Clifton that needed a total restoration, which he completed.
I have some photographs of HN that I can send you showing HN on the road.
Best Wishes
Mike Eggenton

Hello Allan and Heidi

Attached are shots of HN when Roy Ferret was the owner.
Sorry for the delay in sending these to you. I was bogged down with the production of the Austin 12/4 centenary book

Cheers
Mike
