A captivating expression of Brass Era sporting elegance, this 1914 Mitchell Special Six ‘Speedster’ presents a unique, big-horsepower American touring car reimagined in the style of an early competition roadster. Originally constructed as a road-going Mitchell “Special,” this example was later transformed into a period-style raceabout, built in the spirit of creating a lighter, more engaging driving machine for open-road touring and early competition events. Beneath its white paintwork and nickel brightwork, this ‘Speedster’ retains a 60 hp T-head, six-cylinder engine, designed by French engineer René Petard, and paired to a three-speed selective-sliding gearbox and cone clutch. Finished with a black leather interior, monocle windscreen, and period-correct electric lighting, it also features such desirable accessories as a Warner 60 mph speedometer and cloisonné-faced firewall clock.

This Mitchell was formerly owned by prominent San Francisco Bay Area collector Wayne Weathers and participated in multiple tours and concours events, including Pebble Beach. Acquired in the early 1990s by enthusiast Dan Sargent, it remained in Brewster, New York, and was used occasionally for local drives. Eligible for HCCA and similar Brass Era touring events, this 1914 Mitchell Special Six ‘Speedster’ combines vintage motoring excitement with graceful proportions. A car born of innovation and revived with passion, this car is an ideal addition for any collector seeking an early American sporting motorcar of distinction.
