Special Sport "21" ???? for sale in France

Post by sherlock »

A Special Sport "21" ???? for sale in France here : http://occasion.largus.fr/auto/annonce- ... 00-km.html

I think "21" is a mistake from the seller, but the front head lamps are unusual.

Thanks for spotting this one Sherlock,

The front wings have lots of filler hiding the old headlamp and sidelamp pods, and the seats and doorcards
look also very odd.

At 16k euro, it looks like a bit expensive, given the poor state of what we can see, so who knows what
the rest is like.

However, the model is attracting lots of interest as restoration projects so I'm sure this one would find a
willing new owner at the right price.

It seems that the windows are missing or imprisoned behind those wooden door cards?
It would be interesting to find out why these modifications were made.
A matter of "taste" or necessity?

A bit too expensive for a project, of course.

What a strange thing to do to what was a decent car.

I think it's what the French call 'shabby-chic'
The '21' maybe an incorrect guess of the RAC horsepower
It's not only Daimlers that have had the headlamp treatment.
This Bentley has perhaps not benefited from its visit to the opticians!
