The Darrin roadster was designed by California-based coachbuilder Howard “Dutch” Darrin. This example was delivered from the factory in Champagne White (153) and is said to have been repainted in the late 1960s before it was refinished in its current white in 2012. Features include sliding doors that retract into the body, turn signals, plexiglass wind wings, and separate decklids for the top and trunk. The seller reports the factory convertible top features a replacement plastic rear window fitted by the previous owner. The red three-position soft top features chrome landau bars and is shown in the gallery.
The body-color steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and are mounted with 195/75 American Classic radial whitewall tires. A spare wheel and tire are mounted under a red vinyl cover in the trunk. The Darrin’s chassis was based on the contemporary Henry J, featuring an independent front suspension and a live rear axle with leaf springs. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drums shared with the contemporary Kaiser Manhattan.
The seats, door panels, transmission tunnel, and dashboard are said to have been retrimmed in scarlet vinyl under prior ownership. Matching carpets line the floors, and features include a padded dashboard, a cigar lighter, an ashtray, an under-dash heater, and a dash-mounted rearview mirror.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and frames a 120-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for oil pressure, fuel level, coolant temperature, and battery charge. The factory horn switch is reported to be inoperable and new horn switches were fitted under the dash by the previous owner. The five-digit odometer shows under 54k miles, approximately 300 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 161ci Hurricane F-head inline-six wears a factory-style low-profile air cleaner and was rated at 90 horsepower when new. An oil change and fluid check was reportedly performed in October 2022.
