Very rare car and in good running condition.
Vendor believes could be as rare as one of only 5 left in the world.
Standard running gear throughout.
Motor was rebuilt recently.
Great example and would make an excellent club car and it’s a V8.
There’s something special about the 1930’s V8’s regardless of make or model and this one sits comfort amongst them all…
The British answer to the 22hp Ford. Engine was in effect two Ten blocks on a common crankcase, and gave enough horsepower to propel the machine at 80mp. Mechanical brakes were fitted as was a central control four speed ‘box, there was a right hand handbrake, and all V8s had fencer’s mask grilles. One neat touch was the V-VIII motif in Roman figures to get around Ford’s V8 trademark.
