Seller's comments about 1927' Vauxhall
1922/ 27 Vauxhall 6-litre Stutz Bearcat Special
TORQUE has to be believed... 1850 rpm = 70mph indicated & so a tall 2. 7 : 1 axle ratio...
All components classified as Vintage – pre Dec 31st 1930
Built by the engineer trained owner who has now built an even more powerful straight-8 supercharged 1930s special.....
ENGINE is a 6-litre c1922 Stutz Bearcat, 4-cylinder, 16-valve, T-head
Single Stromberg carburettor keeps the driver’s enthusiasm for the loud pedal tame.
8 spark plug dual ignition with twin exhaust valves per cylinder – hence lovely 8 pipe exhaust manifold…
GEARBOX: Phantom II Rolls-Royce
FRONT AXLE: Bianchi, Perrot, for much improved braking
REAR AXLE: Vauxhall – new crown wheel, pinion and half shafts
Huge tall 2. 7 : 1 axle ratio and lazy engine = massive torque…the height of the biggest UK mountain !
EFFORTLESS SPEED: An indicated 70mph is a mere 1850 rpm…
STEERING: Vauxhall steering box
BODY: Aluminium over ash frame in the style of a Vauxhall 30-98
RADIATOR : Vauxhall 30-98 radiator shell with new radiator core
CHASSIS: Vauxhall 14/ 40 chassis – the 14/ 40 chassis is well known for use in building Specials
CONSTRUCTED: Circa 18 years ago by the last owner. Storms up VSCC Prescott, VSCC Shelsley, and around VSCC Curborough, various driving tests and autosolos, & mild effort required at VSCC Madresfield. Also displayed at many VSCC events and at the Birmingham NEC Classic Motor Show.
FUEL CONSUMPTION: About the same or better than a 30-98 at up to 20mpg…
PURCHASE PLAN: How much fun can a press-on vintage motorist have in a weekend?
Asking price is MUCH LESS than a moderately valued Vauxhall 30-98 of course
Effortless cruising, easy decision to purchase.
