Equipment
RHD. 471/60hp single overhead camshaft inline T-head 4-cylinder with four rocker arm actuated vertical valves on each side, Stromberg updraft carburetor, 4-speed, Solar acetylene headlights, kerosene cowl lights and taillight, Neverout acetylene generator
Condition
The only known surviving Tincher. Restored some time ago with high quality paint, brass, upholstery and top on a reproduction body by Art Bergstorm patterned on period photos and an original Tincher catalog which is included. The engine and chassis evidence road use and the expected dribbling from the exposed valve gear. A magnificent 60hp automobile. Don C. Boulton Collection
Market commentary
The Bonhams bidders were serious about this Tincher, opening the bidding at $250,000 and it is somewhat surprising that it closed well under the low estimate. The new owner has a rare prize that should return to the road easily and be something of a marvel anywhere it appears.
