- Car overview

We are delighted to present a car of genuine historical importance and charm—this beautifully restored 1910 Star 2.9-litre four-cylinder, a wonderful example of Britain’s early motoring heritage.

Introduction

Opportunities to acquire an authentic Edwardian veteran car with this level of provenance, usability, and sympathetic restoration are increasingly rare. This 1910 Star represents a time when motoring was still an adventure, engineering was honest and visible, and cars were built by craftsmen rather than computers.

About the Car

Manufactured by the respected Star Motor Company, this 2.9-litre four-cylinder model showcases robust early engineering and elegant simplicity.

  • Veteran-era motor car dating from 1910
  • 2.9L four-cylinder engine
  • Restored to a high standard
  • Previously purchased at auction and comprehensively restored by a former owner
  • Current ownership since 2007
  • Converted from gas to electric lighting for safer, more practical use
  • Electric starter fitted, improving reliability while retaining period character

The car has been carefully improved where sensible, without compromising its originality or historical integrity.

Provenance & Ownership

This Star belongs to a seasoned veteran car enthusiast and engineer, who has lovingly maintained, used, and preserved the car exactly as it should be—as a living, breathing piece of history. Regular use and knowledgeable care have ensured it remains mechanically healthy and enjoyable rather than static.

Why This Car Is Important

Veteran cars like this Star are more than collectables—they are milestones in the evolution of personal transport. Built just two years after the 1908 London–Brighton Veteran Car Run was inaugurated, this vehicle represents the dawn of motoring freedom and mechanical ingenuity.

Owning such a car means becoming a custodian of history, preserving a tangible link to the very beginnings of the motor car.

Why You Should Own It

  • Eligible for prestigious veteran and Edwardian motoring events
  • A rare chance to own a usable, sorted pre-1914 car
  • Increasingly scarce and historically significant
  • A rewarding ownership experience—mechanical, engaging, and characterful
  • Ideal for collectors who value authenticity over excess

This is not just a car—it’s an experience, a conversation piece, and a responsibility proudly carried forward.

Keeping the Story Alive

Cars like this Star tell the story of how engineering courage and innovation changed the world. By owning and using such a vehicle, you help keep that story alive—passing on knowledge, appreciation, and respect for early motoring to future generations.

Fun Fact

In 1910, many motorists still carried tools, spare parts, and even picnic hampers as standard equipment—because breakdowns were expected, and motoring was as much about ingenuity as it was about driving. This Star was built for exactly that spirit of adventure.

If you’re looking for an authentic veteran car with real presence, history, and usability, this 1910 Star deserves your attention.
