Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Pre selector gearbox, folding cowl for rear seat entry, fog and driving light. Sound but aged old repaint and interior. Badly tarnished brass plated trim including radiator. Trafficators missing. Tired but sound, interesting and definitely unusual. Chassis not done and has plenty of road grime.

Market commentary

Consignment 4051. This is a very strange automobile, as were many of its counterparts at Daimler during this period. It will not have much competition in British car events and needs just enough work of moderate difficulty to keep its new owner involved but not enough to impair its ability to be driven and enjoyed. There are many much less interesting ways to blow this much money on a collector car.
