Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Three owners then left to the VCC. Original throughout with good freshened cosmetics and a recent engine rebuild but in need of new wiring. Deitz oil side lamps and single Phare Ducellier headlight, 8 day clock on dashboard. VCC dated, of course, and still has Mulliners ivory identification plaques.

Market commentary

If any car can get into the Brighton Run this one can. That, its remarkable history and originality of chassis, engine and body make the result not unreasonable even if its no bargain.
