Going, going.... the 1924 Buick being sold by auction in West Yorkshire

Between 1977 and 2002, he devoted hours of painstaking work to recreate the elegant Buick back to showroom quality.

He sold it in 2021 for £22,000. And now thanks to a Yoirkshire auctioneers it is back on the market again.

Ossett firm CW Harrison has the car listed on an online auction service www.i-bidder.com with the price already passed £18,200.

Valuation manager Dion Harrison said: “It has caused a fair amount of interest already and we feel sure it will spark a few more bids up until the deadline on Wednesday.

"It is a beautiful car and it has been very well restored. Older vehicles do seem to cause interest.”

The red and black vehicle was built and registered in 1924. What happened to it over the years is not known. But it was bought by a previous owner who restored the vehicle over a 25-year period to a very high standard. The car comes with a large file of paperwork and photographs detailing the work done.

It was previously sold by Bonhams at The Beaulieu Sale, Collector's Motor Cars and Automobilia, for just under £22,000 including premium in September 2021.

Buick was founded in 1899 in the United States and became part of the General Motors group.

Started by automotive pioneer David Dunbar Buick, Buick was among the first major American marques of automobiles, and was a founder members of the General Motors group in 1908.

In the American market, Buick was mostly marketed as a premium automobile brand, selling luxury vehicles positioned above GM's mainstream brands, but below the flagship luxury Cadillac division.

Buicks are still made and sold. The main market is now China, where 80 per cent of Buick-branded automobiles are sold.
