That is a very nice looking 126 Sport, mine is the one in the photo posted by Ozstatman. Its been on the road since 1985 and we have toured extensively with, it will need a third set of tyres soon. The Sports have a slightly taller diff ratio and they will cruise at about 50 mph max once fully warmed up. The one you are looking at looks very correct, the disc wheels were unique to the Sport in 1922 although for reasons unknown all 126 open cars that I have seen in Australia had Rudge Whitworth wire wheels like mine. the colour looks correct also. The Sports are fairly rare but I would not know how much its worth, unfortunately this era does not attract a lot of interest. Don't worry about the 2 wheel brakes, if you drive it within its limits they are fine (except in heavy rain) If you like it and can agree a price, buy it. I have never seen a better unrestored one.
