1911 Selden Model 40R Navigation
This Varsity Roadster is one of just six known surviving Selden motor cars. It was treated to a restoration in 1996 to factory new standards. In the past ten years, it has traveled a mere 100 miles. It has been well cared for and is still in excellent condition.
It is an AACA National, a Burn Prevention Foundation Eastern Concours, and an Amelia Island Concours winner. It was a class winner at Pebble Beach. It was awarded the 'Best of the Best' at the Easter Concours and in 2004 it was an AACA Repeat Senior Grand National Award winner.
The 1911 Selden Model 40R Varsity Roadster was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars sale at Hershey, PA presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $75,000 - $100,000. With only six known examples in existence, it is not often that an opportunity arises to own a Selden. They are rare and have a very unique and interesting history. It was offered without reserve and sold for a high bid of $220,000 including the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Jan 2020
