1937 Daimler Light Straight Eight

A friend has just died. He owned a 1937 Daimler Light Straight Eight which is supposedly in good running order except that I hear there is a serious oil leak from the Wilson Preselect gear box and the car is standing on probably flat tires. However, it hasn't been out for several years. It is in a garage in Moraga, California, about 20 miles east of San Francisco.

My friend's widow will probably want to sell. For the only other one of this model that I could find on the internet (it is very rare), on sale in Switzerland, the asking price was in the neighborhood of 50,000 dollars. Is anyone on the forum interested, or can anyone suggest how to go about finding a buyer?

Ken- if you could send a picture, contact info & descript + asking price, I will put it on the North American Daimler website <dlocna.com> Email to me at dale.wright (at) verizon.net.
