Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1936 Pierce-Arrow Model 1601 Roadster, one of only 787 built that year, features a 6.3L straight-eight engine, a three-speed manual transmission, and a soft-top conversion from the 1950s. Subject to a fifteen-year restoration costing over £100,000, it includes sympathetic upgrades like power steering and a Kenlowe fan, making it a rare and usable classic, sold for £36,000.
Condition
7
While the car has undergone extensive restoration, including attention to its engine, gearbox, axles, running gear, chassis, electrics, and interior trim, it's important to note that it was reconfigured as a soft-top in the 1950s and laid-up in California for a period. Additionally, there's mention of sympathetic upgrades such as a Kenlowe fan, full-flow oil filter, and power steering. These modifications and alterations, along with the fact that some reconditioning was carried out, suggest that while the car is in good condition, it may not be in pristine or original condition. Therefore, a rating of 'Very Good' seems appropriate.
