A very important Dutton LDY 400J been the personal transport for Tim Dutton for almost 2 years who has now moved up to a 5. This is the 6000th Dutton made during the 1980's. Plaque on
dashboard certified by Tim Dutton in May 2024 as 6000th Dutton along with original aluminium VIN plate showing :- P6000
An immaculate Dutton Phæton Series 4, based entirely on a 1970 Ford Escort Mk1 1300cc GT (hence the correct J registration). Correctly registered as a Dutton (no Q plate) as a Historic
Vehicle so no road tax or MOT required.
V5C present in the name of Tim Dutton.
Fitted with correct original period/size Weller white wheels 5.5 inch J x 13 front, 6 inch J x13 rear no rim damage and with the optional chrome rollover bar. With side screens and hardly used hood.
Maintained regardless of expense. Wiring stripped out and replaced with all new wiring. Apart from the all new wiring this car is 100% original (All numbers match) including the original
very well maintained white gel coat - as it left the factory around 40 years ago
NEW PARTS FITTED:-
Genuine Weber 32/36 DGV 5A carb (not Chinese copy)
charging regulator
front brake calipers/ pads
battery
Fuel pump
Sump removed to clean out 55 years build-up of oil residue

Much increased interest (and values) now being shown in Phætons since Dutton has been exhibited at the 3 major shows during 2025.
This archetypical Phæton Series 4 has been fully road tested by Steve Hole, editor of TKC (Track, Kit & Classic) magazine with a 4 page write-up (May/ June edition)

We purchased this S4 a couple of years ago so a comparison could be made against the all new Phæton 5 for a couple of write-ups appearing early 2026 in the 2 major kit car magazines. So
price is now reduced from £4,900 to £3,900 to clear. A deposit
can be accepted but car collection will not be possible until end January 2026.
