Circa 1904 Celeritas/Spitz/Graf & Stift voiturette


Recommended Posts

This is car strongly believed to be a circa 1904 Celeritas/Spitz. The car was found in the Czech Republic around 1969, restored, and imported to America. My Dad bought the car, started a re-restoration, and died halfway the the process. The car is complete but disassembled.

 
The car has:
  • Two cylinder Buchet engine
  • Sauerbrier Berlin radiator
  • Three speed progressive gearbox
  • Shaft drive
  • Drum brakes and driveshaft brake
Work done:
  • Engine cylinders honed 
  • Crankshaft ground
  • Transmission case repaired and transmission overhauled
  • Missing frame crossmember replicated and welded
  • Body wood repaired as needed, skinned in fiberglass, painted (One of Rich McGrath's last projects)
  • New underseat drawers made
  • Upholstery redone in leather with horsehair stuffing
  • New wheels made copying spoke profile and using original hubs (George Carrigan)

 

I have many pictures documenting the disassembly and inventory available on Google Drive. I'm happy to answer emails at christopher.rini at gmail or PMs here.

$12,000 OBO
