Offered here is a beautifully crafted Speedster based on a 1930 Chrysler chassis with a fully rebuilt 3.6-litre Chrysler straight-six engine. Our vendor spotted the car in Europe and instantly saw the potential as a basis to create a fast, reliable and interesting vintage sports car to compete in some exclusive events. After acquisition, the car was imported and correctly registered then sent directly to a team of engineers with a great reputation within the industry to prepare for upcoming events.

After an initial assessment, a thorough schedule of works was agreed and all stages of the restoration are documented with photographs and detailed invoices in the history file. As you will see in the images for the listing or better still in person at one of our viewing days "The Polar Bear" has been beautifully finished with great attention to detail. Every item on the car has been carefully restored, renewed or re-engineered for a driver and navigator to complete events. The result of many man-hours and some considerable investment is very impressive, and when you fire up the old straight-six and apply some throttle to gently warm the engine, 'The Polar Bear' seems to come alive.

Located within the history file are the aforementioned invoices and photographs for the overhaul which make very interesting reading, a dyno chart, research of similar early Chrysler cars that competed in prestigious pre-war events, sales invoices, European registration papers, current V5C, FIVA identity card valid until 2028, notes from a European rally where the 'Polar Bear' competed in 2019 and various other documents.

Offered at a very reasonable guide, this is a great opportunity to take ownership of this handsome and charismatic 'Special', wonderfully finished, ready and keen for its next adventure.
