Incredibly rare, Edwardian era French motorsport pedigree Type de Course Sports Roadster with Australian history.
KEY FACTS
An extraordinary survivor from the pioneering years of French motoring, this 1908 La Buire Type de Course Sports Roadster represents a rare opportunity to acquire a remarkable piece of Edwardian automotive history. Manufactured in Lyon, France, La Buire was an innovative early motor car manufacturer with a background in heavy engineering and a reputation for quality construction and mechanical sophistication. The brand enjoyed success in early European motorsport, leading to the introduction of its sporting Type de Course, a model offered during the period from 1908 to 1910.
This particular example is understood to feature Australian coachwork by Everett & Sons of Geelong, Victoria, and has a fascinating history within the Australian veteran motoring community. The La Buire features a 12hp four-cylinder engine and an unusual sporting chassis configuration, with the engine positioned further rearward to improve weight distribution. Its distinctive mechanical features, elegant open sporting body and remarkable age make it a particularly intriguing example of early automotive development.
With relatively few surviving examples of the La Buire marque known today, and the Type de Course representing an especially uncommon chapter in its history, this 1908 Sports Roadster offers extraordinary historical interest and collector appeal.
