Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Wheel steering, belt drive, new bicycle style wheels, otherwise aged and incomplete. Dating is uncertain but is clearly of Brighton Run eligible age. Needs radiator, rear fenders, upholstery, engine ancillaries and some control rods, so the buyer got a project and a reason to rummage through autojumbles and Retromobile to make it all worthwhile.

Market commentary

Chances are that close inspection of this Darracq indicated more recent origin for important components. A challenging project but worthwhile if it is allowed to start Brighton.
