The cars have been kept stored in a climate controlled environment and were all put away properly by the their house mechanic, with minimal fuel left in the tanks. I have no doubt that these cars will wake up pretty easily, new batteries, some fresh fuel, and you could be up and running. Obviously you will most likely need to be doing brake work on the cars that have hydraulic brakes, new tires, and more to drive them cross country-but this is a pretty good storage facility and the cars have faired well. The cars are offered as is, and generally have not been turned over at this point.
This lovely little early Ford Model C is in Very Good to Excellent Condition in every respect, the paint, leather seating, and brightwork all are quite presentable and need nothing really. The car was purchased by Mr. Wilson as a basket case and completely restored in under his ownership. The motor does turn and has decent compression, which was discovered because I could not figure out how to put the car in neutral, and we pushed it a short distance for the photos. While this car is titled as a 1904 research indicates it was produced in 1905 and is therefore not London To Brighton eligible. There is a box of spares that go with the car which include some interesting fenders.
