This car was delivered to its original owner, a Mrs. Montgomery of California, with a Pickwick limousine body. Many years later, it was given this Piccadilly roadster body utilizing a 1924 body originally mounted on chassis number 368XH.

In the early 1990s, a professional restoration began on this car. When completed, it returned to its owner's home where it was put into dry, heated storage where it has laid dormant for many years. Only recently has it been driven under its own power.

The interior of the car is fitted with red Connolly leather, there are new and correct tires, and it is equipped with wind wings, side-mounted mirrors and a correct trunk and truck rack. This left-hand drive car has a central gearshift and its original tool kit.

The engine is a 7428cc inline-six cylinder unit capable of producing 65 horsepower. There is a three-speed selective sliding gearbox and a screw-and-nut steering system. The brakes are mechanical internal expanding in the rear.

In 2008, this Brewster-bodied Piccadilly Roadster was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company auction held in Pebble Beach, CA. The car was estimated to sell for $150,000 - $175,000. As the gavel fell for the third and final time, the car had found several willing buyers. The final bid was $319,000, including buyer's premium. The lot was sold.
