This machine is believed to have been sold at auction by Bonhams in 2013. Originally registered in the UK as DG 366, it is a unique machine and it is not known whether it was factory-built or an exceptionally well-concieved privately built special. Both the OEC chassis and the 750cc Austin four cylinder engine have been dated as 1930, or very close.
