The Appeal
Produced between 1930 and 1934, the Silver would be one of Crossley’s most highly regarded creations, living up to their reputation for dependability. As you would perhaps expect, a great deal of these historic vehicles have perished to age, leaving enthusiasts searching high and low for the right example.
The search, however, should end right here, with this fantastic saloon example. Rather remarkably, this Silver boasts just 4 former keepers from new, with a traceable history and owner count. It’s also been subject to previous restoration work, yet stands as a mostly original example, in excellent condition.
If you’re on the search for the right Crossley to add to your collection or to savour for weekend outings, this fully-functional Silver deserves to be your first choice.
