Description

William I'Anson Ltd are delighted to offer for sale the Ex - Humphrey Milling 1924 Vauxhall 30-98 Velox Tourer.

With only 5 previous owners from new and still retaining its original Velox coachwork, OE88 is considered within 30-98 circles as being one of the finest examples left in existence.

One of the fastest 30-98 in its day, OE88 was one of the three 30-98 known as the ‘Scottish Raiders’. Named because they used to drive south in the early 1950s to VSCC events and ‘sweep the board’ with regular success. Campaigned on the circuit, rally and trial in the early 1950s with the VSCC and in more recent years a participated in the Gordon Bennett and Flying Scotsman as well winning the Wolseley Car Club of Ireland 2012 East Cork Valley outright.

Continuously maintained and used throughout its life.

A veteran of the prestigious Chantilly Concourse d’Elegance.

Accompanied by a highly impressive history file full of period correspondence both from Vauxhall Motors and past owners dating back to 1927, as well as rare Auster and side screens.

Still wonderfully original, it retains all of the character you would expect from a car with such a rich and positive history as this. It is time for someone else to take on the mantle and continue to use OE88 as she has become accustomed, and find out for yourself why so many of us think this is the finest British Sportscar of the Vintage Era.
