Condition
7
The car has been cosmetically refurbished and mechanically maintained over the last 13 years, including new upholstery, gearbox rebuild, and repaint. While being repainted, the bodywork was stripped back to its base, and it was established that the oldest coats were varnish, and that it most probably had been finished this way as new. The wood was found to be in very good condition, it was simply left in varnished form, the moldings painted black and wings matt black. The car has completed all of the last 14 London to Brighton Veteran Car Runs without complication and is entered for this year's event.

For the 1902 season a new genre of front-engined De Dion Bouton cars was introduced in 6hp and 8hp engine sizes, as with their predecessors comprising single-cylinder cars with atmospheric inlet valve and mechanical exhaust valve.
De Dion's gearbox was simplicity itself and virtually foolproof for the first time car driver.
The fast revving engines were supremely reliable for the time and De Dion Bouton service and back-up was second-to-none.
The number of surviving cars is testimony to their popularity and build quality.
The De Dion we offer here has a known history in the UK that stretches back to the early 1920s, when it was registered in the name of Thomas Goodier of Sale in Cheshire under the license MB 3731.
Goodier is listed in 1900s census documents as a 'cycle builder' and later engineer, and it is surmised that as an engineering enthusiast he rescued the De Dion after the First World War and that it most probably had resided in the Cheshire region from its earliest days....
