Description
1931 Invicta 4½-litre Low Chassis S-type.
Launched in September 1930, the low-built S-type Invicta was one of the fastest and most desirable sports cars of its era with top speed of 100 mph. Its styling has been described as “traditional British sports car at its best”, with swooping external exhaust pipes and a low, low profile achieved by a chassis frame that was underslung at the rear and swept up over the front axle. Power came from a 4½-litre six-cylinder engine specially built for Invicta by Meadows of Wolverhampton.
This extremely original example shows the right patina from a car well driven over the years.
Delivered new in March 1931, it’s one of only a dozen low chassis S-types out of some 77 built with original Vanden Plas coachwork.
In the same ownership since 2016 its history is well documented including George Milligen’s ownership for over sixty years with two massive folder including endless papers and receipts.
Regularly driven and maintained by Setford & Company with several trips to Continental Europe over the last 8 years. This extremely original example maintained regularly by Setford & Company it shows the right patina from a car well driven over the years.
