1929 4� Litre. Chassis no. AB3357, engine No. AB3361 from a 50 year ownership. Wonderful Birkin Short Chassis look, with Blower fuel tank and recently overhauled engine with new Phoenix crank and rods. Pre-war Donington race history and a honey of a car to drive, with delightful steering, vacuum assisted brakes and sweet clutch and gear change.
