Description
This Erskine Model 50 four-door sedan from 1927 is one of the nearly 25,000 cars built during the marque's first year.
The late owner restored most of the car himself. Based on the date on a saved receipt, we conclude that the restoration began in the early 2000s and was completed a few years later. The car has dropped out of the vehicle registry and is therefore not registered. We have found a copy of an older Erskine registration certificate among the belongings left behind, but we are not certain that it belongs to this particular vehicle. The car is sold without identity documents for registration, and the buyer will need to do further research on their own. The car was most likely acquired in the local area, as that is the common denominator for all the vehicles in the collection.
This is a distance auction. The photos were taken by an independent photographer, and information about the vehicle and its technical condition, to the extent such information was available, has been obtained from the estate administrator. BWA has therefore not inspected the vehicle on site at the seller's location.
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Equipped with a 2.4-liter straight-six flathead engine, manufactured by Continental Motors. The output was stated at 40 hp.
According to some sources, the engine, drivetrain, brakes, etc. have been gone through and are in order. We cannot guarantee that everything works technically on the car, but it is clear that a great deal of work has been put into the restoration. At the end of the photo series there are a few photographs showing what the car looked like before the restoration began. Seeing them, one realizes the enormous amount of work that has gone into the car. Since the car has been standing for a long time, one should be prepared for an inspection and overhaul being needed before attempting to start the car. We do not know when the car was last running, and no attempts to start it were made at the time of photography. No starter battery included. -
Interior condition
Beautiful newly stitched upholstery in period style, done by the book. The owner sewed the upholstery himself and wore out two sewing machines before he was completely satisfied with the result.
-
Exterior condition
Restored and repainted in the early 2000s. Still looks good. The paintwork can be described as a well-executed home respray. Please examine the photos carefully for more information about the condition.
-
General condition
Restored pre-war automobile from a make that is very rare in Sweden. Identity documents for registration are missing.

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
- At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
- During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
