246 - BUICK Eight Special Convertible
On-site auction
Starting price 36.000 €
BODYWORK: This vehicle was restored approximately 25 years ago but remains in very good condition, featuring an attractive white and red colour combination. It currently shows some scratches on the fenders that should be repaired, but overall it presents extremely well.
MECHANICAL CONDITION: The car is in excellent mechanical condition; its owner used it frequently for long-distance trips. Its powerful straight-eight overhead-valve engine allows comfortable cruising speeds above 100 km/h. This particular unit features a very rare factory option for the period: twin carburettors, providing a significant increase in power compared with single-carburettor models. The car is equipped with several 6-volt gel batteries connected in series and fitted with an electric cooling fan.
INTERIOR: The interior was restored and remains in very good condition, upholstered in elegant red leather. It includes two additional foldable rear seats located in the “dickey seat” compartment.
DOCUMENTS: The vehicle retains its original Spanish registration papers and is registered as a Historic Vehicle, benefiting from all the exemptions and privileges this status entails.
HISTORY: This vehicle was acquired around 20 years ago by its current owners. Since then, it has been frequently used in classic rallies and gatherings, always travelling under its own power and covering even long distances with ease. This is a particularly special example, as very few of these models were built with right-hand drive and the twin-carburettor option. It is an impressive, exclusive, and fast vehicle—ideal for enjoying long open-air journeys.
