About this car
Star was a Wolverhampton manufacturer, and this 15.9 Tourer dates from 1914, the last season before the First World War. Its 3-litre four-cylinder engine is cast as two blocks of two cylinders and drives through a four-speed gearbox.
The dealer describes it as in excellent mechanical condition, with a smooth drive and a pleasant gear change. It is said to cruise at 45 to 50 mph and to start on the first pull of the handle.
It comes with a hood and full tonneau cover, plus roughly 20 files of history. No mileage or registration is given on the page.
