Seller's comments about 1922' Hispano-Suiza 16Hp T30
THE 30 HP SPORT RACE CAR HISPANO SUIZA GENUINO ORIGINAL AND PERFECT OPERATING CONDITION, EXCLUSIVE CAR OF "AUTOS CLASSIC CAR" DESTINATION TO SPECIAL COLLECTORS OF THE AUTOMOTIVE. A JEWEL FROM THE 1920'S, A CAR THAT BREAK THE BARRIERS OF TIME AND DISTANCE BY HISPANO SUIZA. It is a 30 HP Spain type with a short and lightened chassis, older brother of the 16 HP. With more than 100 hp, this special version could exceed 150 km/ h. On July 26, 1922, Rafael de Vierna beat his own record (6:05 am) on the Bilbao-Madrid route, lowering it to 5:00 am. 22', which means an average of 90 km/ h. and some points of 130 km/ h, which for the state of the roads at the time and with two mountain passes, are impressive. The biggest novelty in this unit was the incorporation of an IRZ carburettor (manufactured by Isidoro Rodríguez Zarracina), instead of the usual Zenith, with a view to using them in series for cars of this brand.
