It is an amazing car. I hadn't remembered how it ran so smoothly at 100mph. There was absolutely no feeling of instability when we exceeded the ton. It was sensational.

The car will drive on Daytona Beach at the Historic North Turn Legends Beach Parade before the Daytona 500 and then will head for the Bonhams auction at Fernandina Beach on 29 February.

A proper automobile.

My guess is 1.3 million dollars is what it will go for in a few weeks. I have nothing to back this estimate up with. Just a feeling.

What sets the Napier L48 apart from most historic reconstructions is that it uses the original engine and the car has been reconstructed around that engine using hundreds of parts cast from unique casting patterns made especially to replicate the original car. Few cars have been made with such a commitment to detail. The old car world is watching to see who will secure this work of automotive art.
