This Hispano-Suiza H6C ‘Boulogne’ from 1924, once owned by Lieutenant Commander Glen Kidston, is truly a masterpiece of pre-war engineering, combining luxury with high-performance racing pedigree. The fact that Kidston was a member of the iconic ‘Bentley Boys,’ a group of affluent British racers who elevated Bentley’s reputation in the 1920s, further enhances the historical significance of this car. His 1930 victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans ties this Hispano-Suiza to one of the golden ages of motorsport.

C W Coachworks were honoured to collaborate with a team of great specialists to ensure the car’s restoration met the highest standards of originality and authenticity.

Presenting the restored Hispano-Suiza at the Royal Automobile Club, a place synonymous with automotive excellence, was a fitting celebration of its centenary. The restoration not only preserves the car but also honours the legacy of motorsport legends like Glen Kidston, ensuring that the elegance and engineering of the Hispano-Suiza H6C will inspire and captivate future generations.
