Verkäuferkommentare zu 1926' Vauxhall 14-40 30-98 Spec Engine
Vauxhall 14-40 Sports with 30-98 spec engine
Lighter in weight than a conventional OE 30-98, this car with modified 23-60 engine to 30-98 dimensions is well able to pull the earlier higher rear axle ratio 3:1 E-type crownwheel and pinion, to make a highly usable quick vintage car, able to keep up with most ordinary traffic today.
Combining a 14-40 chassis and running gear, this car was constructed in New Zealand and imported by the late Peter Street who I knew well.
The current owner requested Jeremy Brewster of Brewster Mudie to go through the car and bring the car up to spec, checking the engine and sourcing the correct shock absorbers, going through the suspension and brake system.
New black Connolly buttoned leather hide upholstery has recently been commissioned by the current owner to the correct pattern - see photo - together with a fresh hood bag and tonneau - retaining the virtually new hood and side screens. An electric cooling fan has been added, but I dare say an original two-blade belt driven fan could be sourced and fitted.
The ability to pull away from low speeds in top gear out of a roundabout is sensational - modern cars behind wonder how a large engined vintage Vauxhall is able to pull away from modern traffic - but it's a standard party piece !
A long range fuel tank is fitted, connected to a large semi-updraught SU carburettor with electric fuel pump, rather than perhaps a more thirsty and expensive updraught Zenith via an Autovac.
This car ideally suitable for long range events - and ready to go !
Not expensive - please enquire
