Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. 6hp 700cc single cylinder engine. Long stored and purchased by the present vendor at the Absalom brothers auction in 1992. The engine has been rebuilt, but the rest of the car remains in barn find condition although not further deteriorated. Needs comprehensive attention but might be made into a terrific as found runner. VCC dated to 1904, making it Brighton eligible.

Market commentary

This is a pretty comprehensive project, but largely complete and with the potential for enthusiastic use and enjoyment both when completed and in the process of restoration. If it then becomes worth even half as much as the 7hp Panhard Levassor sold earlier today for $116,000 itll even make economic sense.
