Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Hoopers 1956 Earls Court display car. A spectacularly ugly Daimler with raked radiator contrasted by raked forward fenders peaked over the headlights and a pointless downward curving side crease all balanced by peaked rear fenders in a timeless display of bad taste. Restored in the mid 90s.to its origil inelegance. Dismal performance is assured by the 137hp six, Borg Warner automatic and 35 quintal (2 ton) mass.

Market commentary

Not even uniqueness could overcome the repugnce of this eloquent statement of bad taste and ostentatiousness.
