Equipment
RHD. Body color wire wheels, Excelsior tires, cycle fenders, folding windshield, dual aeroscreens, single sidemount.
Condition
A genuine Speed Six represented as the original chassis, engine and gearbox. Originally a Harrison saloon, rebodied in this style several decades ago. Very good fresh paint, chrome, upholstery and fabric body. The engine and chassis are nearly like new with scant evidence of age or use. Built to very high touring standards and barely used.
Market commentary
The care and attention to this Speed Six is abundantly evident, as well as the desirability of its specifications. While in most cases a rebody would inhibit value here the quality of the coachwork, the weight reduction and sheer pleasure of the open body as well as the innate appeal of the Le Mans connection more than make up for the loss of the original Harrison saloon coachwork. The bidders certainly felt that way, paying 32.5% over the pre-sale high estimate for it, a magnificent price for a magnificent automobile.
