"The world's most advanced car" is what Invicta's initial advert was portraying at the time about its latest model: the Black Prince. It was indeed the result of highly technical research which resulted in various forms: 6 cyl 3L Meadows engine with double ACT and double ignition, automatic gearbox with torque converter, 4 independent suspensions, aluminium bodywork, chassis with side casings reinforced by a X-shaped brace design inspired by the aeronautics, Girling hydraulic brakes, integrated hydraulic lifting cylinders… Offered at a highly excessive price, only 16 examples were produced including 6 convertibles. Purchased by a Belgian collector in its original condition, this specific car then benefited from a bodywork, upholstery, electronics and engine restoration. However, and as per other cars for this model, the gearbox was favorably replaced due to the fact that it had a reputation of being unreliable. The car has a bodywork that differs from other listed versions, with its integrated wings and the spare wheel located in the front left fender. Bought by its current owner in 1999, it got back on the road after 4 years of inactivity and will therefore require a complete service, while the paint work would deserve a bit of retouching. Rare, refined and mechanically worthy of interest, this car represents an exceptional collector item.

Auction estimate: €40 000 / 60 000 - Without reserve price
