Equipment
RHD. Silver wire wheels, headlight stoneguards, dual horns, folding windshield, aeroscreens, dual Owleye rear lights. The 1938 Earls Court Show Car. An older restoration to sound touring condition but now ageing. Reportedly not used much recently, a claim attested to by its appearance, but still a good tour car after some mechanical and cosmetic attention.
Market commentary
This is just, simply, one of the most beautiful automobiles of the classic era. Its pushrod ohv inline six isnt much in the technology sweepstakes but William Lyons coachwork makes up the difference and then some. The price is an artful compromise between intrinsic desirability and its somewhat aged condition. The buyer got full value for money at this price. The next lot was its reserved UK registration, 100 SS. It brought nearly a tenth the value of the car, $26,739.
