Super cool and it looks even better with the roof up. It doesn't get much better than Hispano-Suiza and Hibbard & Darrin... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG57Roadmaster Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 “THE AUTOMOTIVE PARTY OF GUADARRAMA His Majesty the King in his racing car, accompanied by the infante Don Alfonso de Orléans, speaking in the town of Guadarrama with the starting jury of the automobile contest held from that point to Alto del León on the 21st of June.” This car shown is King Alfonso XIII’s 1910 45Cr (Carrera) Series 68, #504, the most important Hispano-Suiza of that time. The 7 kilometer, 316 meter course, a hill climb, went from Guadarrama to Alto del León, outside of Madrid. The entire town of Guadarrama was virtually destroyed during the Spanish Civil War.
