Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1919 Vulcan, originally delivered to Australia, boasts a 3.9-litre four-cylinder engine and a rich history, including Veteran Car Club events post a 2008 re-spray and re-trim. Under its current owner since 2016, it has seen minimal use and comes with a VCC dating certificate and V5C registration, appealing to collectors valuing originality and documented provenance.
However, potential buyers should note the engine's debated '4" Racing' or 'Tourist Trophy' type, along with the car's limited recent use, which may necessitate mechanical inspection and servicing to ensure optimal running condition.
Condition
7
The car was re-sprayed, re-trimmed and fitted with a new hood in 2008. Since 2016, it has been garaged and driven only 50 miles. The description suggests well-maintained condition since its restoration, with recent limited use.

When McLean moved to Queensland in the 1960s, the Vulcan went to Gilltrap's Auto Museum on the Queensland Gold Coast.
It was sold together with some of the Museum's other cars in 1989, being purchased by Simon Langton and shipped to the UK.
