1923 Durant Star Star Model C Tourer

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers at The Classic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2026 on Sunday 15 November, at the NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT.

Finished in red over black with black leather-effect upholstery and wooden artillery wheels, SV 4504 carries an E prefix to its serial number, indicating manufacture in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

Imported to the UK from Tennessee in 1992 after time in Virginia and Kansas, it was possibly first supplied by WG Reynolds Motor Co, Durant and Star agents in Kansas. The car has twice appeared on the cover of the Durant Partners Club magazine, with one article recounting a previous owner’s road trip to France.

Powered by a 2.2-litre Continental four-cylinder side-valve engine with a separate three-speed manual gearbox, it rides on a leaf-sprung ladder frame with Timken axles and rear-wheel brakes.

The history file includes a copy of the American title, local classic car show first-place awards, wiring diagrams, period repair manuals, brochures, magazines, a parts catalogue and a workshop DVD.
