1920 Stearns-Knight Custom Order Two Door Coach

This remarkable example of the superior quality American Stearns uses a powerful four cylinder sleeve-valve Knight motor giving great torque. a fast touring speed and exceptionally quiet running. Built to compete with the top end of post WW1 American luxury cars. the Stearns-Knight has super-soft suspension and a deep. luxuriously padded interior with sliding side windows and dual hinged windscreen. The totally original interior in Bedford cord is complete with its original cotton Summer covers. The interior has an unusual layout of bucket drivers seat. folding front passenger seat. and a wide rear bench with cut-out for the rear seat passengers legs by the driver's right side. We believe it was a custom order for an exceptionally tall or wide client who would have ridden in the rear with a chauffeur in front. Most interesting and very rare.
The car is left hand drive and was imported about 20 years ago from Massachusetts in excellent. totally original condition. It was repainted in Australia to a good standard and has yet to be buffed. In all other respects the car is totally original. The mechanicals have been checked and overhauled but no significant work was required.  The car starts "on the button" and drives quietly and well. As with all sleeve valve engines. some smoke is produced on starting and this quickly clears to run at operating temperature quite cleanly. The tyres are new. The electrical system is original and in good order but it would be wise to upgrade some of the lamp and under dash wiring before extensive use. At present everything works. but of course the wiring is 93 years old so beginning to crack. View in Braidwood. New South Wales. near Canberra.
