A rare example of a Crossley 10hp tourer, in this case with bodywork by Australian coachbuilder W.Ferguson.
The car was owned in the 1960s by John Taylor. It then passed through several hands until bought by Franco Bevilacqua in 1997 who started its restoration but ran out of steam. In 2011 the car was bought back by John.
The father of the second owner (name unknown) of the car took part in the preparations of Crossleys for the 1933 Royal Automobile Show in Victoria. An old registration sheet indicates the car was first registered with number 82488 on 21/6/34.
The chassis number is 10/1020 and engine was originally number MC943 but now replaced with MC1275/63.
