This rare, supercharged ND is one of just 24 fitted with a factory alloy body and was originally finished in black over polished aluminum. This open two-seater is now presented in a stunning combination of red over aluminum and a red leather interior, featuring period-correct Rudge wire wheels, racing radiator cap, and cycle fenders.
This example has a very well documented ownership history, starting with Bernard Clifton of Wimbledon, who took delivery of NA0484 in September of 1934 via Jarvis & Sons. He then sold it to Thorold G. Jones in 1935. In 1975, this ND was acquired by a racing enthusiast in Vancouver, Canada who actively raced NA0484. At the 7th Annual Monterey Historics in 1979, the ND finished 6th in its class, proving itself against powerful, competitive cars including Bentley 4 ½ Litres, a Bugatti Type 57, and a Maserati 8CL and was featured on the event program that same year.
The car then passed to another racing enthusiast, Peter Fino, who kept meticulous service and racing records, including the installation of an NE-spec camshaft and valvetrain, lightweight pistons, lightened flywheel, and a ported, polished and flowed cylinder head. In 1997, Mr. Fino had an impressive run at the Elkart Lake Vintage Festival at Road America, finishing first in class and second overall. In 2006, the next owner ran this car in the California Mille.
This rare and highly desirable example of the N-Type is offered in great condition and features performance upgrades that give the future owner the opportunity to enjoy it in road rallies or vintage racing. Included with the sale is an extensive history file, including copies of the original delivery slip, warranty card, and factory records, as well as invoices and race-preparation documents.
