You must wonder if the people who assembled this car imagined it might be on the market on the other end of the planet, a century later.
In a comparison with the then rival Vauxhall, Classic and Sports Car in the UK noted: “When the first Fourteens emerged from Sunbeam’s Wolverhampton factory they were, like their Luton-built rivals, quality engineered machines costing an identical £650.
“Because the car had to be developed in record time, Sunbeam’s model was derived from new sister brand Darracq’s recently launched 12hp.”
This example is running a 2.2lt inline four with four-speed manual transmission. The driveline has received a number of upgrades to make the car more user-friendly.
It’s with The Healey Factory in Melbourne, priced at $49,500.
