Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Nicely restored with some age and use. Assembled for Bob Rubin from a few parts from one of the two examples salvaged by Jeffrey Vogel. There is little here except for the overhead camshaft engine, but there is little else of more substance claiming FENC status, so quibbling has little effect.

Market commentary

This is an historic and instructive voiturette with a pioneering single overhead camshaft engine, definitely a strong argument for the proposition that theres nothing new under the sun. It is, even over Bonhams high estimate, a good value for money and a relative bargain beside the prices paid for early Bugattis.
