History
The second of the American LaFrance 9.5-litres in our sale today, this car was built on 5th October 1923. Said said to be in good overall condition with a nice patina, the car travelled extensively in the USA and is believed to have competed at Indianapolis in the 1940s – although there is no documentation to support this. Imported into the UK in 2004, it is said to be in good running order but has been very little used in recent years.
