"This very rare 1931 Nash 881 Convertible Sedan is from the late Eric Barfield collection. The car has its original Straight Eight Twin Ignition Engine 3714cc, three speed manual, which starts and drives. The Nash comes with lots of service and Nash literature. The 881 Convertible was considered a relatively expensive car for its time, with a price tag of around $1,700. Despite this, it was relatively popular among buyers who valued its combination of luxury and performance. Today, the 1931 Nash 881 Convertible is considered a rare and collectible car, with only a small number still in existence.
This wonderful example presented in green coachwork with a beige hood was first registered in the UK on 7th July 2006. It is largely original and has not been restored and therefore has a superb patina that suits a car of this age. The hood was replaced in 2005, A new timber frame was also fitted at this time by Goyette Restorations, in Vermont, USA. New carpets have been fitted and front seats covered to protect the original leather. This is a very rare historic and desirable unrestored vehicle, sought after by collectors in this condition. This vehicle runs and drives and is a rare survivor which is believed to be one of only five known to be left in existence.
