Henry Austin Clark Jr. and his 1911 Mercer 35R Raceabout
Last month, I had the opportunity to discuss Henry Austin Clark, Jr.'s 1911 Mercer Type 35R Racebaout with his son Hal Clark. Hal recommended posting this 2014 YouTube video.
The Mercer (lot #10) sold for $2.53 million at the 2014 RM Auctions 2014 Monterey Classic Car Sale, the highest price ever obtained for a Mercer.
Happy July 4th Weekend!

After meeting Hal and hearing him speak in Southampton and seeing this film, I think H. Austin Clark Jr.‘s legacy is in good hands.
I enjoyed that ...
What a great video. It’s a toss up between your’s and his. I would have to see it live to decide,seeing and hearing it in action. Have a Happy & Safe 4th of July to all of you.
My uncle Gene Martin is in one of the photos sitting next to Austie in the 1911 Mercer.
