Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Single Whte Manufacturing kerosene head light and Lucas side lamps, spoked wire wheels, white tires. Very nice paint and leather. VCC dated 1900, fitted with 1901 4 1 2hp engine. Nickel brightwork. European restored in the 90s with some subsequent use in the Netherlands. Reconstructed body done to high standards.

Market commentary

Notable for its early VCC dating and therefore early start time in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, as well as the performance boost from the 1901 4 1 2hp engine which should minimize exposure to the elements on the drive to the sea from London. The price reasonably reflects both its condition and the value of its Brighton eligibility.
