- Engine
- 8.0L inline-six, 46 fiscal horsepower
A Spanish-built Hispano-Suiza T56 Bis, chassis 34-16814, delivered in 1933 and bodied by the distinguished Barcelona coachbuilder Baltasar Fiol as a pillarless Berline de Voyage. One of approximately 200 T56 chassis constructed at the La Sagrera factory in Barcelona, it represents the Spanish equivalent of the French H6C. The early history is unrecorded; the car was acquired in 2012 and underwent a careful restoration in the Czech Republic between 2014 and 2019, with the original engine, interior leather, instruments, and woodwork largely preserved.

Maintenance & restoration

A careful, sympathetic restoration was undertaken in the Czech Republic, running from 2014 through 2019. The engine, which was reported to be in sound running order beforehand, was not overhauled, and the original interior — including leather upholstery, instruments, carpeting, and woodwork — was retained rather than replaced.
