All Stutz Vertical eight cars carry the famous radiator mascot of the Egyptian Sun God, "Ra".

In the late 1980's / early 1990's this Stutz had a painstaking nut & bolt restoration undertaken upon it by an assortment of UK specialists resulting in the car we find today.  All ash wood was removed & renewed using the old rotted pieces as templates.  The car has since then covered over 20,000 trobule free miles ranging through various corners of Europe.

The fabulous & advanced vertical Eight cylinder engine dispalces some 5.2 litres & was designed by Charles Greuter in 1925.  Introduced in 1926 the Vertical Eight was an outstanding success & continued in production until 1934.  The block & crank case are cast Iron with the crank case line 2 1/4" below the centre of the crankshaft to ensure a very rigid block.  The engine is dual ignition with 9 main bearings displacing 322 cubic inches or 5274cc.  113BHP are generated at 3300 RPM along with 238 lbs ft of torque.
