• Displayed on the Stutz stand at Olympia in 1929
• Fully restored in the late 1980s/early 1990s
• Over 20,000 trouble-free miles covered since the rebuild
• Offered for sale by a noted Stutz collector
Very rare and desirable, this Stutz was displayed on the manufacturer's stand at the Olympia Motor Show in 1929. The Lancefield body is fabric-covered in the Weymann manner but differs from Weymann in having four door hinges as opposed to two. 'UX 5747' was retailed by Warwick Wright of New Bond Street and first owned by Miss Mary Moss of Church Stretton. Shropshire.
In the late 1980s/early 1990s this Stutz was treated to a painstaking 'last nut and bolt' restoration by various UK specialists, which included removing and renewing all the ash timber using the old rotten pieces as templates. A full photographic record of the restoration may be found within the history file. Following restoration the Stutz was featured in The Automobile magazine (January 1992 edition).
Since completion the car has covered over 20,000 trouble-free miles touring Europe. It has been owned for the last few decades by a noted Stutz expert, who had no fewer than four in his stable at one time and is now moving the last one on due to his advancing years.
The car is trimmed in tan leather throughout with beige carpets, all in lovely condition. The dashboard boasts a full complement of original instruments as when new. The front windscreen hinges open for ventilation, and this may be further augmented by opening the roof-mounted smoker's hatch. Accompanying paperwork consists of an old-style logbook and a V5C document, and the car also comes with an original Stutz Series M information book.
