About this car
The Invicta 4.5 Litre S-Type, the low-chassis car, is one of the defining British sports cars of the early 1930s. It pairs a Meadows engine with a lightweight, slung frame and a four-speed Invicta-designed gearbox. This chassis, S161, is dressed in coachwork by Salmons & Sons, which the dealer believes makes it the only S-Type bodied by that firm.
The car has recently been restored and has new paint. The dealer describes the engine and mechanicals as very good, with strong torque from low speeds through to around 90mph in top gear.
The car is registered in the UK, though the registration is given as a Belgian-style BGX303 on the page. No mileage, owner count or colour is stated. The asking price is shown on the page as €700,000, while the page's structured data lists £700,000.
