Description
A stunning 1936 Auburn 852 Supercharged Cabriolet RS, finished in maroon with black accents and black leather upholstery.
It retains a number of of pleasing period features including its 'Signal-Stat 900 Sigflare' indicators, Stabilite headlamps and Desmo rear-view mirror. Nestling in its chequer plate patterned instrument surround are a 5, 000rpm rev counter and 100mph speedo. Under the bonnet, its supercharger bears the serial number 1244, while its Bakelite distributor cap and Stromberg carburettor appear to be original.
Equipped with hydraulic drum breaks and wind-up windows, it rides on 16" wire wheels with Whitewall tires (including the rear-mounted spare) and benefits from a dickey seat.
It is powered by an August Duesenberg fettled Lycomin straight-eight 279 CI mated to a three-speed manual gearbox.
