In September 2014, vehicle was offered for sale on eBay, with a Classified Ad price of £14K. The vendor (advertising on behalf of the owner) wrote:
A 1958 Series 1 in very nice condition. It is, of course, now MOT and Tax free. It has the Petrol 2000cc engine and is the 88 inch variant. The engine has been correctly modified for unleaded petrol for the current owner. Freewheel front hubs are fitted and working correctly. This vehicle also has the desirable Fairey overdrive. There is a excellent canvas hood and the benefit of a heater.
There was a complete and very comprehensive restoration/rebuild immediately before the current owner bought the vehicle. Everything is in excellent order and it has covered only a nominal mileage in the last 15 years of his ownership, just 150 miles in the last 3 years. The owner is a genuine enthusiast with an impressive collection of vehicles and this was always kept in warm dry garaging.
The indicated mileage of 59000 is believed to be genuine and there is a large box of history paperwork to support this.
You are very welcome to come and see the vehicle in Fyfield, Essex, just north of Ongar.

In June 2017 John Lloyd-Williams emailed to say that the car didn't sell, and is now at his new home in Caernarfon.
In March 2020 John emailed me to say that very reluctantly he has decided to sell 489 — too many classic vehicles to cope with! There's been a little paintwork improvement done professionally, and if anyone is interested in viewing the car, please contact me as below, and I'll put you in touch with John.
