A 1939 ATALANTA FIXED HEAD "PILLARLESS" SALOON (2 DOOR), registration number FLY 862. Chassis L1018. a rare example of this short lived British sports car made at Staines, Middlesex.

Requiring restoration the car nevertheless appears basically complete and a good basis for judicious expenditure to produce an example of a fine looking and very unusual British motor car. Pair of Lucas P80 headlamp`s included. V5 document (duplicate). Original sales brochure. Consigned from Cumbria.

The programme has to be truthfully described as poor but it is a rare item and may well be of interest to Palace and QPR collectors. As described
