Re: Hooper Empress on eBay
Thanks Henry. Interesting sale. Body looks not too bad, except for the boot, which maybe dropped ??
But, needs correct front bumper, number plate plinth, and 4 over-riders, and rear number plate box.
Interior a mess !!
Having done the long hours on The Duke a restoration not for the faint hearted.
Anyone feel brave ?

Sold for £6100 !
That was a surprise for me, but positive for other sellers like Ian.
Let’s see if the new owners come on the Forum, as help will be needed.

Re: Hooper Empress on eBay
The really interesting thing is that there were no bids until the last day when four bidders slugged it out.
The first bidder bid £6,000 followed by another dozen or so bids, then there were two bids after the first bidders limit was reached, so I think we can assume there are three more potential serious buyers out there looking for a similar car at a similar price. Syd

Re: Hooper Empress on eBay
Syd,
Looking at that Lanchester 14 listing there may have only been one serious bidder on the Empress!
Hope it went to a good and caring home, they are such delightful cars.
Cheers PG
