Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Challenges imagination in its conception and execution, FWD, vertical 2-cylinder air cooled engine turning with the front wheel and driving through a chain, tiller steering with oil tank, Ducellier acetylene headlight, wire spoke wheels, blackwall tires, leather upholstery, cape top.

Condition

A marvelous contraption with museum static display old paint, cracked upholstery and painted up non-running engine. Complete. It won't be simple to get running but when it is it will be a show-stopper. Neglected but complete.

Market commentary

Absolutely astounding. Reminiscent of a creation from a Hollywood special effects staff challenged to envision a functional yet wholly impractical vehicle for a fantasy movie set in the late 19th Century. Will amaze on the London-to-Brighton run, and well worth what it brought here.
