Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1936 Pierce Arrow Model 1601 Roadster is a rare and imposing Post-Vintage Thoroughbred, one of only 787 built that year. It features a 6.3L straight-eight engine, reconfigured soft-top, and extensive restoration with sympathetic upgrades, making it a usable classic valued at £80,000 for insurance.
Condition
8
While the car has undergone an extensive restoration, it's not in perfect original condition due to modifications like the full-flow oil filtration system, Kenlowe fan, and power steering. The listing also mentions the car was reconfigured as a soft-top in the 1950s, further deviating from its original factory specifications. However, the restoration work, attention to the engine, gearbox, axles, running gear, chassis, electrics, and interior trim, indicates that it is in very well-maintained condition with minimal cosmetic imperfections.
