Description :

It’s not clear if the 1928 Road Yacht ever went into production or where it was made. The right-hand drive indicates that it was produced in the United Kingdom, but the price in dollars suggests that it may have been intended for export to the United States. What is clear is that the streamlined design was very advanced for the time, no doubt contributing to its ability to achieve a blistering speed of 45 miles per hour. The Road Yacht’s cabin sports a luxurious bathroom, cooking accommodations, and two sleeping areas. Courtesy Art Himsl collection.
