Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Wire wheels with natural rubber tires. Chassis and suspension painted Red. Correct Locomobile gauges. Paint evenly crazed. Seat leather lightly worn but sound. Chassis number found on metal plate and stamped into kick plate under the seat. Chassis painted and rubbed out with light chips. Unused for several years, it will need thorough checking before it builds steam pressure. No Reserve.

Market commentary

Sold by Bonhams at the Frank Cooke auction in Massachusetts for $46,880, this is an accurate older restoration with some real potential as a London Brighton runner which boots its value by up to a third.
