1928 Invicta 4\u00bd Litre S-Type \u2018Low Chassis\u2019<\/h1>\n

Also known as the Type LS, this Invicta was known for its low-slung chassis. Designed by Reid Railton the design was underslung which ran the axles over the chassis to achieve a very low stance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like the earlier models, the Invicta used a 4.5-liter version of the Meadows 6-cylinder engine which was very undersquare with a long stroke. Favorable torque characteristics meant that the four-speed was versatile.<\/p>\n

Carbodies of Coventry suppied Invicta directly with the standard 4-seat tourer which was compliant the regulations for Class C racing. At the time this required a minimum weight of 1200 kg and seating for four people. Much like the Mercedes-Benz, the Invicta featured large chromed exhaust covers.<\/p>\n

At the time, the Invicta was an expensive car that was raced at the top level of motorsports. Donald Healey piloted one to a resounding overall victory at the 1931 Monte Carlo rally.<\/p>\n

Auction Sales History<\/h4>\n

\"1928<\/a>
\n1931 Invicta 4\u00bd-Litre LS-Type Coup\u00e9<\/a> – sold for \u20ac535,182<\/b> The car exhibited is a rare, if not unique two-seater coup\u00e9 (+ 2 symbolic) belonging to the same owner since 1972. Its British registration was previously GO 6422. The copy of the previous French Carte Grise shows us that the car was owned by a certain Mr Mclaren living in Paris at 112 boulevard Saint-Germain with the following registration : 248 YP 75.<\/p>\n

The previous registration number written on this old carte grise is ES 4007.
\nThis impressive low frame Sports Invicta with closed body (opening windscreen), produced in only a handful of models, is unique in France. Black with Havana Peccary interior and green carpeting with Havana piping, it is in very good overall condition and is ready to take to the road along with its normal French vehicle registration document. This is a unique opportunity to purchase a great British sports car from the end of the vintage period.\u00a0Auction Source: <\/b>2011 Salon R\u00e9tromobile Aucion by Artcurial<\/a><\/p>\n
