THE PROPERTY OF LORD MONTAGU OF BEAULIEU 1925 AUSTRO-DAIMLER 19/70HP Registration No. MH 3381 Chassis No. 8889 Engine No. 19811 Engine: six cylinder in line, single overhead camshaft, monobloc, 2,650cc; Gearbox: four speed and reverse, central change; Brakes: four wheel cable operated; Suspension: semi-elliptic front, cantilever rear. Right hand drive. The Austro-Daimler association came about as the result of Daimler establishing a motor car factory in Vienna in 1899. Initially, output was limited and probably not profitable until Gottlieb Daimler's son, Paul, was sent to oversee the operation. In 1905 Ferdinand Porsche took over in Vienna and the first five valve, four cylinder Prince Henry model was built in 1910. This was an immediate success and a year later Austro-Daimler severed connection with their German parentage. By the outbreak of war Austro-Daimler were Austria's largest car manufacturer and they, in fact, also built a Porsche-designed petrol electric road train. Post-war models from the company included a new six cylinder car, known as the the AD617, with 4.4 litre capacity and single overhead camshaft. The pre-war 16/18 and 20/30 models were still available. Porsche left the company in 1923, returning to Daimler, although he had been responsible for the new ADM model which had a 2½ litre engine and round radiator, as distinct from the traditional Austro-Daimler V-shape. In sports form it was known as the ADM II. This rare example is a 4/5 seat open tourer dating from 1925, which became part of the Museum in 1959. We believe that at the time of its purchase it had travelled only 14,000 miles from new and has subsequently been on display in the Museum ever since. As with all the Museum exhibits, the engine has been regularly turned although the Austro-Daimler has not actually been used on the road for eight years or so. The car has the 2,650cc six cylinder engine with medium compression aluminium pistons and Zenith triple diffuser carburettor. Transmission is through a four-speed gearbox with central gearchange, and the Austro-Daimler has Bosch ignition with electric start. By design, it has long cantilever rear springs, which were fitted to the sporting tourers so as to provide a smooth ride over rough Alpine roads. Rudge-Whitworth detachable wire wheels are fitted with 820 x 120 beaded edge tyres. A rare, high-quality vintage six cylinder touring car that would be ideal for Continental motoring
