Equipment
RHD. 2,184cc inline six with special R.F. Oats pushrod ohv head and dual ignition as built to race in the 1929 Tourist Trophy. No racing history known. Now with later Solex carbs (origil R.A.G. carbs included). Featured in many books, coachwork believed built by Corsica in the early Thirties. Stored many years and pretty tired but not deserving dilapidated. Complete and hasnt been plundered for autojumble inventory; runs and drives but not road registered. Sound but worn interior; old, chipped paint. Respectable as is but far from show condition.
Market commentary
At $55,000 and particularly at +28,000 this OMs rarity and sporting configuration would be a sound value, but the low estimate of +35,000 ($68,000) plus commission pushes outside the envelope. There just arent a lot of OM collectors, largely because there arent a lot of OMs.
