Simplex LaFrance Speedster 1914, Estados Unidos

Fotografia

Originally known as a manufacturer of fire engines and commercial vehicles, American LaFrance can trace its roots all the wat back to 1871. Upon its founding, the company originally focused on iron working, however the business then diverged and started building rotary steam engines. In 1903, the company then diverged even further and built approximately 25 chain drive cars with tube coil radiators mounted below the front of the frame. In 1909, the company then purchased and shipped Simplex chain-driven rolling chassis to their new factory in Elmira, New York, where new bodies were fitted and badged as a LaFrance. Presented here is a 1917 Simplex LaFrance Speedster that has been rebuilt in 1996. The standard of the build is high, and the car offers a truly unique open-top driving experience. Power comes from LaFrance's large four-cylinder 9½-litre engine that's paired to a 3-speed manual gearbox. The car also features 24" wooden wheels that are shod with Michelin tyres. The car also uses a modern electric starter motor. The Speedster's chassis was professionally shortened and narrowed resulting in an imposing and highly effective Edwardian special. The bodywork, interior, running gear and electrics all present well, and the car also comes with a good history file. The engine starts and runs very well. A truly unique vehicle.

The replacement for the Model A, the Ford Model Y was designed in the US but manufactured at Ford's Dagenham plant in the UK between 1932 to 1937. After the economic downturn resulting from the great depression, the Model Y sold well with over 150,000 produced – helping to build Ford's financial recovery. Presented in black with a striking red interior, this 1937 Model Y is in good condition. The car comes with some history, with the V5 listing 3 previous owners. There are also a few parts and 3 MOT invoices included in the sale. The bodywork, paint and interior all present very well, and the car runs and drives as it should. A lovely historic pre-war Ford.
