Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Well restored and very presentable tiller steered motor carriage. Not VCC dated, however, and looks and is described to suggest a rather comprehensive re construction (not unusual for a car of this age.)

Market commentary

Considering this de Dion Boutons age, very good condition and potential to participate in the Brighton Run this price is very reasonable. Without a VCC dating its highest and best use (driving through frigid drizzle from London Brighton) is uncertain, however. A successful dating might increase its value by $10 20K.
