We offer for sale this rare Marmon Speedster from 1927. This Marmon Speedster is a good basis for a restoration project. The car has been standing still for a long time and needs major technical maintenance before it can be driven.
Also called the Little Marmon Speedster, it was built by Marmon Motor Car Company; an American car manufacturer known for its various groundbreaking works in car production such as the introduction of the rear-view mirror, the pioneering of the V16 engine and the use of aluminium in car production. The Marmon Speedster is a very rare classic and probably the only one in Europe.
The Marmon Speedster we offer for sale here comes from an enthusiast who has owned the car for 21 years. It is powered by the 3.1 liter 8-in-line engine that is coupled to a manual 3-speed gearbox. The car is currently not running and needs major technical maintenance.
The Marmon Speedster we offer for sale here had a very advanced styling for its time with a streamlined and aerodynamic body that was both functional and stylish. The retractable soft top was a unique feature that made it easy to switch from a closed sedan to an open cabriolet. The Little Speedster was built for 2 people but offers extra space for fellow passengers thanks to the so-called Dicky Seat. The paintwork has some signs of wear and tear and patina.
