Equipment
Varnished wood spoke wheels with whitewall tires, single rear mounted spare, Watson stabilators, Bi Flex bumpers, Gray & Davis headlamps. A very well looked after older restoration; the paint is cracked in many places and the chassis displays some wear. The circa 1960s leather is brittle looking and the brightwork is lightly pitted.
Market commentary
Although nicely patinated, the color scheme on this car is dated and doesnt do it justice. The catalog states that the car is bodied by Brewster but the tag observed reads Healey & Co., one of five coachbuilders to originally supply bodies for the Simplex Crane. These cars dont bring a fraction of what their Simplex cousins do which is surprising because they offer a lot of the same value. This car needs attention even to bring it back to touring condition and a complete restoration is probably not far in its future. The bidders took that into account when they stopped at this bid.
