THREE POSITION DROPHEAD COUPE
Registration No:EXH 624

Detachable hood, Two-Tone Green with Brown interior
Engine overhauled in 2017, still running in
The majority of the c.1500 cars produced by powerboat aficionado Noel Macklin's Railton Cars concern were powered by Hudson straight-eight engines, but in 1938 the company introduced two smaller four-cylinder 10hp models based on the Standard Flying 9 chassis. They were effectively miniature copies of the Coachcraft Fairmile Drophead Coupe and Cobham Saloon and only around 50 were produced all told, making this delightful Coupe a rare car by any yardstick. Offered at No Reserve, 'EXH 624' was resident in South Africa until 1974 and more recently formed part of a collection in Edinburgh. A complete restoration some years ago was followed by a bare metal respray in two-tone Green. The engine has been overhauled even more recently, since when the Fairmile has covered a mere 100 miles. The vendor nowadays classes the 1141cc engine, Brown hide interior and Black detachable hood as 'excellent' and the bodywork, paintwork and transmission as 'very good'.
