PEBBLE BEACH, CALIFORNIA
AUCTIONS - AUGUST 2015











1949 VERITAS SCORPION CABRIOLET
Bonhams - estimated to sale for over $1 million

   
1992 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Award Winning Car

The Scorpion and Saturn were both built on a 2600mm wheelbase, and featured fully-independent front suspension with upper and lower control arms, longitudinal torsion bars, and telescopic shock absorbers. The rear drive and suspension comprised a deDion axle with triangular links, longitudinal torsion bars, and telescopic shock absorbers. Steering was by rack-and-pinion. Brakes were four wheel hydraulic drums. The engine was a BMW 328 of 1988 cc with overhead valves operated by a quite effective system of transverse rocker arms that gave the motor the appearance of having overhead cams. The five-speed transmission was of the company's own design. Electrics were 12-volt, unusual for the day.
