 |  |  | Cabriolet Coachwork: Fernandez & Darrin |
This car was never used as a show car but, instead, participated in rallies in England until acquired by the current owner in 2003.
Fernandez & Darrin was a collaboration between Howard 'Dutch' Darrin and J. Fernandez, a wealthy, Argentine-born Parisian banker (the company was located in Paris). Fernandez & Darrin remained in business from 1932-37.
Hispano-Suiza means, literally, 'Spanish-Swiss.' The company was based in Spain and was well-known for its aircraft engines.
The Spanish automotive and engineering firm, Hispano-Suiza, had a reputation for their luxury cars and their aviation engines in the pre-World War II period.
The Hispano-Suiza K6, often referred to as the 30HP, was introduced in the early 1930s. It was available on two platform sizes, a short or long frame. The K6 served as a replacement for the Ballot and provided its customers a less-expensive option to their J12 flagship model.
Powering the K6 was an overhead valve, 5.2-liter engine that was designed by Marc Birkigt and featured overhead valves. Power was in the neighborhood of 120 horsepower.
