Further info:
The British firm of Bean Cars was founded in Dudley in 1919, when Harper, Sons & Bean acquired the manufacturing rights for the pre-WW1 Perry. The company had ambitions to emulate the mass production techniques of Henry Ford, and for a while outsold both Austin and Morris marques. However the momentum was not sustainable, and by 1929 the doors were closed. This Bean is an 11.9hp model from 1923. It is finished in the freshly-painted combination of Burgundy over Black, while the interior trim is also Black in colour. 'DS 8160' has benefited from other recent attention - eg it has been treated to a new hood and hood frame and a fresh clutch. The braking system has been checked and a full engine service carried out on the 1794cc four-cylinder engine; coincident with which the unit was cleaned and repainted and a compression test performed. On the button and ready to go, this eminently usable Vintage Tourer is now being sold complete with owners' handbook, lubrication diagram and extensive history folder inclusive of photographs.
