Default 1936 Phaeton / Front end noise

I’m in the process of buying another early V8, this one a ‘36 Phaeton.

During the road test yesterday, all was well…until the first turn, when an abrasion-type noise came from the front end.

It sounded like a suspension element might have been contacting / dragging against part of the brake, or that the brake assembly itself may have gone out of true under a cornering load.

Car track straight otherwise, no wander or vibration.

Would greatly appreciate thoughts before I proceed further.

Thank you very much.
