Highlights

Extremely rare survivor from a marque that ceased production in the 1920s
Subject of an extensive mechanical and body restoration
Dry stored since restoration

The Appeal

Belsize Motors of Manchester produced cars from the turn of the twentieth century until the company's closure in the mid-1920s, making any surviving example a genuinely rare find. The 14/30, with its smooth inline six-cylinder engine and four-speed manual gearbox, represented the more refined end of the Belsize range, and to encounter one today, over a century on, is a remarkable opportunity.

This particular 14/30 has been the subject of an extensive mechanical and body restoration, and has been dry-stored ever since. The vendor states that everything is in very good condition, with all instruments working correctly. Described by the vendor as a real eye-catcher that attracts much public attention, this Belsize offers a chance to own a piece of early British motoring history in fine fettle.
