Povertycove Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 I will be putting a 1915 (?) Saxon four roadster up on Ebay within the next day. I pulled it out of a barn last week. It is fairly complete with an engine that turns over easily, with compression. It's a three speed, and has okay fenders. The body will need a lot of attention, as someone along the line has done some amateur repairs, and there is rust and wood issues. What is special about the car is that it has WIRE WHEELS, two extra rims, plus surplus spokes...you could upgrade these wheels to perfection. It also has good, original headlights, the original and rare aluminum fan, Saxon hub covers (four...all fitted on the hubs, so you know the hubs are round and good.) There is no interior. This is an ambitious project, to bring the car back to looking as it did in 1915. But a sportster, with those wires, might be fun. I'm going to put the car up with a starting price of $500, no reserve, and it will be listed as "1915 Saxon roadster." The car will have to be picked up from my home in midcoast Maine by mid October, as I'll be heading back down to Sarasota to find out what Hurricane Irma has left.
Povertycove Posted September 12, 2017 Author Posted September 12, 2017 Happy to report that Irma did no damage. The Saxon is up on Ebay, though for some reason they've listed it as a "1915 Other Makes G80", though I think you can still find it as "1915 Saxon Roadster" I'll see if I can fix that. Here are some other pictures.
durospeed Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 I have a very, very nice restored Saxon radiator for it if needed. contact durocar@aol.com
Povertycove Posted September 14, 2017 Author Posted September 14, 2017 The radiator on this really looks good, and they were sturdy units to begin with, made by Fedder. Many other detailed photos on request. This is, again, an ambitious project, unless you're interested in making a speedster. But that would be a neat speedster.
Povertycove Posted September 19, 2017 Author Posted September 19, 2017 Sold for a little more than $2300. I hope there will be another Saxon on the road and touring.
