Originally a four-door sedan but rebodied into a Doctor's Coupe during the 1970s. Lovely history file with service records, original advertisements and magazine articles featuring the car.Released from the Detroit manufacturing plant in late 1927, just prior to Hupmobile’s most successful ever year in 1928 when they produced some 65,000 cars, this A4 Coupe has lived quite a life. Originally a four-door sedan, as most A4s were, the car was shipped from new to Cape Town, presumably in right-hand drive as it is now. Whilst in South Africa, it was converted/modified with the roof being removed, but it wasn’t until the early-70s that it was rebodied as a Doctor’s Coupe based on Hupmobile Coupes of the period endowing it with a much more sporty look when compared to its rather pedestrian saloon origins.Fitted with a 3.2-litre straight-six cylinder engine, mated to a 3-speed manual gearbox, this A4 Coupe is reported to run and drive nicely. Within the history file there is some service history, various magazine articles over the years featuring this car, and some rare original adverts. On offer from 17 years long-term ownership, this charming A4 Doctors Coupe is a rare sight anywhere, let alone in the UK, so for a very reasonable outlay you’ll have the rarity bragging rights wherever you may take it. There are a number of options available to a new owner; return it to a saloon (sedan) or perhaps the convertible it was for a few years, fully restore it to a 'showground' level or just fettle the old girl and enjoy the gently patinated, lived in look, totally appropriate for a lady approaching 100 years old..SpecificationMake: HUPMOBILEModel: MODEL A-4 COUPEYear: 1927Chassis Number: 56161Registration Number: SV 9529Transmission: ManualEngine Number: A56592Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 56454 MilesMake: Only LHDInterior Colour: Brown LeatherClick here for more details and images

The majority of photographs throughout are captioned with names and details, such as a good group photograph of seventeen soldiers including Capt. Macready; with a pasted down pencil sketch to the opposing page that lists the names of the sitters with their relative positions. Elsewhere, there is a large double photograph overlooking Caesars Camp at Ladysmith, accompanied by an ink sketch detailing areas of note in the camp. Two illustrations of shells with a hand-written list; photographs of Camp Sikofu including the Officer's Mess. Further photographs include General Lyttelton with Chief of Staff (Natal Field Force) Herbert Miles; General Kitchener and Regiment "in donga" below Wagon Hill, Ladysmith; together with views of Fort Haldane; Fort Simpson; Small Fort "Windsor Castle": Camp Fort Carnegie; Gordon Highlanders crossing a drift in Transvaal (1900); dead Boers killed in action at Bergendal; portraits of Macready (titled 'self'); Durban; a Zulu Warrior; Amajuba; views of local people, camp life, battle positions, casualty gravesites, various officers and other soldiers.

Notes: Macready saw active service in the Second Boer War and served in the besieged garrison at Ladysmith from October 1899 to February 1900. As a captain, returning from bringing in wounded, he notably met Major-General John French on the battlefield of Elandslaagte, giving him a cup of coffee that he had looted from the Boers. He was mentioned in despatches twice and promoted to brevet lieutenant-colonel in 1900. Medal rolls show he was entitled to the Belfast, Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Elsandtaage, Defence of Ladysmith and Laing's Nek clasps. Provenance: This photograph album comes from the same collection as the Irish Times album personally gifted to Macready following the Anglo-Irish Treaty.Condition:Spine at fault and boards detached.
