<strong>1925</strong> <strong>Locomobile</strong> <strong>Junior</strong> 8 <strong>Tourer</strong> Lot Entry: 47<br />
This is an extremely rare survivor from the final years of production at William Durant's <strong>Locomobile</strong> factory<br />
based in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Indeed, it is believed to be one of only four known to exist. An original<br />
right-hand drive export model which was previously registered in New Zealand, the car was subsequently<br />
imported into Holland before coming to the UK in 2006. Power comes from a Miller design OHV 3.2-litre<br />
straight eight developed by talented engineer Barney Roos and built under licence by Continental mated to a<br />
three speed gearbox with mechanical overdrive. This design has been dubbed "the first engine ever to do<br />
3000rpm continuously" and examples ran successfully at Indianapolis in <strong>1925</strong>.<br />
Finished in white over blue with red interior and featuring an auster screen for rear passenger comfort at<br />
speed, this attractive tourer is described by the vendor as having "very good" engine and gearbox, "very<br />
good" interior trim and "excellent" paintwork. MoT exempt, it is offered with current road fund licence to<br />
February 2014.<br />
