United Kingdom • 18 May 2026 • Lot 1

Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This is a very rare 1934 Crossley Streamline, one of only two known to exist. It's being sold without reserve, but currently isn't running and needs restoration, although it comes with a rare Crossley engine and gearbox.

Condition

3

The car currently has no engine or gearbox fitted. It was still running in 1968 but had lost its Vauxhall engine by 1983. The vehicle is for sale as it stands and as described and to assume that the vehicle does not start or run. There is wear and tear with some parts missing, therefore I assess it as below average condition.
