The car was auctioned by Bonhams in London on Dec. 4, 2016 as part of its Bond Street Sale. 
It was one of the first four Vauxhall 25hp 'Prince Henry' Sports Torpedoes ever produced commercially. 
Only seven vehicles of this make and model are left in the world according to Rob Hubbard, a senior motor car specialist at Bonhams.
The car was designed by engineer Laurence Pomeroy and originally purchased by T.W. Badgery, an English businessman, in 1914. 
Laurence Pomeroy Jr., the original creator's son, bought the car in 1945. 
It was most recently owned by Reg Long, an engineer from Lincolnshire, England, who purchased the car in 1970. Long died earlier in 2016, but the 102-year-old car is still running.
