The 4.0 Singer flat 6



If I could afford a Singer I'd have buy another engine just to keep on display.

That is indeed gorgeous

I'm told the ecu and loom for it alone retails at 30k!!

However, how come it seems to have 4 spark plug holes per side?

How about the Ecurie Ecosse Car Transporter,
here with a selection of its past cargo (as sold by Bonhams 3 years ago for a total of £8.8m,



The transporter alone went for £1.8m

The weird thing is, it was found to have stopped at the precise moment she was guillotined. Spooky...

She did have a very simple Breguet on her but not this one. This wasn't completed until 34 years after her death. It is a very beautiful thing though.
