Lot #442.1 - This is an extremely rare right-hand-drive Essex Super Six Sedan. This car has a lot of original documentation, such as the instruction manuals, letters from previous owners and race program with the car in it. The previous owners nicknamed the car "Ruby." This car was purchased new by an Army colonel in England, and was later purchased by a gentleman named Anthony Garrihy, who drove it in a road race in Ireland in July 1966. All of the proceeds from the road race went to benefit the blind. The car was imported to the U.S. by the port of Mississippi on November 12, 1975. In 1996 the car underwent an extensive body-off restoration, which is fully documented with many photos of the entire restoration process. Every nut and bolt was restored or replaced. Since completion in 1997, it has strictly been used as a conversation piece and show car. It was trailered to many events and very little miles have been accumulated. The exterior body lines are remarkable and the suicide doors make a grand interior entrance. The color is beautiful and the paint is ocean deep. The rear trunk box adds not only storage but character. The car sits on whitewall tires and has two matching spares on each side of the front fenders. The interior is very tasteful and simple. The right-hand drive is a very rare find. The engine compartment is very detailed and home to the inline 6-cylinder engine, which starts and runs beautifully. It is coupled to a 3-speed manual shift transmission that is a pleasure to use. The electrical was converted to a 12-volt system. The undercarriage is also very detailed. This car drives great. Ruby is ready to be shown and enjoyed.
