Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Includes the original wheels and two sets of cycle fenders, correct throttle pedal and gearbox cover (electric starter presently fitted.) Confused factory race car history, possibly Chirons 31 Monaco winner. Evidence of chassis number 51135, may be both cars. Delivered to Chiron by the factory in 33 and clearly documented since. Vintage raced and shows appropriate campaign scars, tired interior, but probably in excellent mechanical condition. 2.5% US duty due.
