When speaking to the true significance of a collector car, it is difficult to fully articulate what constitutes its real importance. In fact, though there are many very desirable classics and usually more than a few well restored examples, there are few indeed whose real consequence is ever at issue.
It is, therefore, a rare privilege to come into the possession of a vehicle which is not merely handsome, nor simply desirable, but is in fact a truly essential and irreplaceable example of its marque.
