I saw 'peaky blinders', 1920 story-based TV series, they used these type of cars in the movie. I like everything about the show. The vintage cars the English dressing and the gangsterism. Once I had thought if I had money, I would just buy one of these cars and drive it to school when we resume, so everyone could look at me and become ambulance shouting wow wow wow!!! shocked grin grin grin

But of course wishes aren't horses. Lol

I so much love vintage cars

I love it too. All those with Toyota Camry 1999, golf 1, etc should better maintain it well. In the next 20 years, those cars will be worth millions of dollars.

Hmm...I'm looking at it and thinking... cream or kit. Only the papers can say. In 1929 not many were made and very, very few will still exist in such pristine condition and will not go for a sandwich.



Aha, just did a simple google search and like I suspected, just about 40 were built, most are dead and it is believed only 5 or 6 originals still exist...some not fully restored.

....so it is highly unlikely that is an original. However the kits are available on the market retailing for anything from 10 to 50,000 dollars.

I cannot see an original going for less that 1.5 to 2 million dollars.
