DavidMc Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Bernie, There is a good article about a 1924 SPA in "Restored Cars" magazine no.28 dated May/June 1978. I met the owner many years after reading it and after he had sold the car and he spoke of it with great admiration. Let me know if you would like a copy. Certainly a very worthwhile project.

oldcar Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Thank You David we must catch up after your big trip with the Maxwell. I suspect that the SpA could be under water right now. If it comes about it will be a very long term project.Bernie J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcar Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Sorry GavinI have not looked here for a a few days. Right now I do not have very much I can tell you.I still have to see what is left of it myself. As soon as I can I will post some photographs and details. Right now I tend to be very involved with my 1923 Packard Restoration.Bernie J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
