1927 Vauxhall  R type 20/60  Grafton  cabriolet  coupe,

Ron and Joys latest acquisition is a 1927 R type 20/60 Grafton cabriolet coupe, to give it its correct title. Coachbuilt body by The Grosvenor Carriage Coy Ltd London. As far as we know this is the only example of this body style still on the road in Australia with only one other known to exist in the UK.

The Capil's purchased the car from Devonport in Tasmania where it has been since about 1945. It was originally a Victorian car owned by a Queensland cane cutter. It underwent a partial restoration approximately 10 years ago. The milage on the car at 33,000 is believed to be the genuine mileage the car has travelled.

Owned by Ron and Joy Capil
