This elegant Buick Eight was purchased by the vendor from the same collector as the 1931 model featured in this sale and is finished in black coachwork with grey upholstery.

It's understood to be one of the last off the production line before the factory began to manufacture tanks for the war effort, only 365 of these sedans were produced in 1942 making this a very rare car indeed.

Buyers should note all import duties have been paid and this Buick is supplied with a certificate of authenticity by Marvel Stu...
