Nice looking car! Someone should tell someone how to lower the top properly.
Thank you, I enjoyed the pictures.

Curious that the description says that the car is a right hand drive from Britain and the photos show a left hand drive car.

Re: 1912 Torpedo Runabout for auction in Portugal
And also how to tell the difference between right and left hand drive. You would think that an auction house as famous as they are could tell the difference. Dave
1925 mostly original coupe.

No mention of serial no, and I think that is a Dutch registration. They claim the lights are original, are they sure they aren't repros? Bit of a cynic, me.

These auction sites often have the best photographers. It's a pleasure to see the photos.
I don't even think of buying a car that nice but sure like looking at them.
Thanks
Rich

There is a 1912 torpedo on the HCCA site. No association to me, but I have seen this car on the BBC tours and it performs very well. And a good looker! Cheers, Bill

Re: 1912 Torpedo Runabout for auction in Portugal
I don't think it is a dutch registration because AA- is reserved for cars of the royal household. besides that even in its day a model T would have been a little below their standing so to speak Spykers and Minerva's were more their taste !
When in trouble, do not fear, blame the second engineer !

Re: 1912 Torpedo Runabout for auction in Portugal
The website also says that it is the correct color. Is that true? It looks greenish to me. Shouldn't it be blue?
