This is a very rare opportunity to buy a rare, late model Lincoln, professionally converted to right hand drive, with excellent provenance – and at a very realistic price. A Lincoln Town Car Congressional Town Sedan by B&G.
The Town Car was already a lavishly appointed luxury car, but this example has some added touches.
Imported thirty years ago to Western Australia, this car was the personal car of Terry Priestly – who from the 1950s to the 1980s was Perth’s guru of right hand drive conversions. His last car was this Lincoln. After he gave up driving, Terry’s daughter and her car enthusiast husband took over the car and have kept it to this day.
This was the final car that Terry Priestly converted to right-hand drive. It wears an Australian low volume compliance plate and is fully licensed in WA.
Technically, the Town Car was quite advanced, boasting a 4.6-litre overhead camshaft V8 engine, disc brakes all round with ABS and rear air suspension. The Lincoln offers effortless, smooth performance.
The Lincoln drives very impressively. The whole car feels tight on the road, with good handling for a car of its bulk. The braking is impressive and the car runs quietly as a luxury car should.
The car has covered just 113,000km since new, only being used occasionally since arrival in Western Australia.
The car presents very well. The paintwork and body are excellent. The genuine alloy wheels with white sidewall tyres suit the car well.
Inside the car is the plushest lounge room in wheels. The leather upholstery is in good condition and the seller advises that all fittings work as they should.
