This Locomobile can trace its heritage to noted collector James Leake in the 1970s. Under Mr. Leake’s ownership, this example was cosmetically and mechanically restored, and rewarded by the AACA with a First Prize in 1976. It subsequently passed to the San Antonio Museum Association collection in 1978, from whom Stan Lucas purchased it at Christie’s Pebble Beach auction in 1994.

While in the San Antonio collection, this Locomobile was noted to have been routinely used for public displays, and notes on file suggest that Herb Glasier initially maintained the car under Mr. Lucas’ ownership. Potentially eligible for the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, it would need careful mechanical review before use.
