For those of you who are not au fait with early American automobiles, the name Essex will be a little unfamiliar.
They were built by the Essex Motor Company between 1918 and 1922 and subsequently by the parent Hudson Motor Company of Detroit between 1922 and 1933.
Introduced as a lower-priced companion to the Hudson range, the Essex soon became synonymous with both high performance and reliability when an example averaged over 60mph for 50 hours in December 1919.
Essex's big news for 1924 was the switch from four to six-cylinders and, in 1927, it was renamed Super Six showcasing the larger and more powerful engine for that year, however, four-wheel Bendix mechanical brakes had to wait until 1928.
Unfamiliar the name may be but, by 1929, the Essex ranked third in US sales behind Ford and Chevrolet.
They were built under licence in a number of countries including the UK.
This 1927 Super Six Sedan is indeed one of those UK-built, right-hand drive cars and was exported to Uruguay so...
