Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Red wheels, wicker basked trunk, rear view mirror, brass lights and accessories. Origilly exported to Australia where it was used at the Sons of Gwalia Gold Mine in Western Australia to transport staff between the town of Leonora and the mine. Various parts reunited in the late 80s and restored in 1991. Six time Brighton Runner and in good, sound and presentable condition although showing its use and age since restoration.

Market commentary

Not particularly rare but still a sweet little automobile from one of the most important early marques, its worth every penny (whether a +penny or a $penny) of the price paid here. Its Brighton Run eligibility is an important plus for its value.
