1957 Land Rover Series I 88”Reg. no. SXF 106Chassis no. 111700885Engine no. t.b.a.By 1957, the Land Rover had undergone several changes since its 1948 introduction. While the original wheelbase was 80 inches, this grew to 86 inches, then in 1956 to 88 inches. The basic concept remained the same however; these were basic vehicles, intended to be as much farm machines as road vehicles. As such, they were exempt from purchase tax, making them extremely attractive for farmers and other customers who needed a four-wheel-drive, go-anywhere vehicle. The 2-litre petrol engine and manual gearbox remained, both lifted from Rover passenger cars.This 1957 Series One 88-inch is in generally good roadworthy condition; however, it has a noisy water pump and may benefit from some attention to the chassis. Owned by the vendor for 39 years, and always MOT’d and taxed, it has recently benefitted from a new fuel tank, new road springs, a new exhaust manifold, a new stainless exhaust, and new brake cylinders. It comes with a current V5C.

1935 Morris 8 SaloonReg. no. UN 8551Chassis no. 35/E/37203Engine no. 39374The Morris Eight was introduced in October 1934. Replacing the Minor in Morris’ line-up, it was a larger, more substantial vehicle than its predecessor, with styling influenced by the Ford Model Y – Ford’s British-built small car that had taken the 8hp sector of the market by storm. The new Morris was powered by a 918cc side-valve engine, coupled to a three-speed gearbox with synchromesh on second and top. This gave a top speed in the mid-50s, a respectable figure for a car in this class. Where the Eight really stood out, however, was in its generous specification compared to its similarly-priced Austin Seven and Ford competitors; the driver was provided with a full set of instruments and an electric windscreen wiper, while stopping power was far superior due to the car’s excellent hydraulic brakes.This well-preserved 1935 Eight is affectionately known as Doris. In good all-round condition, it has also benefitted from an engine rebuilt 4000 miles ago. In the last six months, it has had a back axle rebuild and new kingpins, plus new brake cylinders and shoes all round. Said to drive well and attract plenty of smiles, the car also comes with a detailed folder of old MOTs, tax discs and log books, plus details of the engine rebuild and annual mileage for the last 13 years. It also comes with a current V5C.

1949 Land Rover Series I 80”Reg. no. LYA 65Chassis no. R8666199Engine no. 866091The spectacular success of the US Jeep during the Second World War and the meteoric rise in the popularity of four-wheel-drive vehicles that it caused did not go unnoticed by the people in charge at Rover at the end of the war. While other British car manufacturers put their old pre-war models back into production while working on conventional replacements, Rover bit the bullet and developed a four-wheel-drive – the pioneer in the British car industry. The Series One Land Rover was duly launched in 1948, with priority for initial purchases being given to remote farmers, vets and doctors – people who really needed the car’s go-anywhere ability. For many of these lucky customers, it would have been the first car they ever had, as nothing previously could go where the Land Rover could. Using a Rover passenger car engine and gearbox, parts were easy to come by. The early Land Rovers could also serve as tractors or be used to power a variety of equipment via a power take off. This versatility and practicality led to enormous popularity for the Land Rover, all over the world, for more than 70 years.Chassis no R8666199 was registered on 3/6/1949 in Crickleaze in Somerset. Evidence found during restoration suggests it may have been a garage run-around at some point in its life, as various colours of paint were found all over the vehicle along with numerous holes. When it came to the Melksham area in the 1980s, it had an aluminium hard top fitted. It then went to Warminster in 1989 then to Bristol in 2005. The restoration was carried out from 2005-2008 and during that time a new rear cross member, new gearbox cross member, and two new outriggers were fitted, and various other repairs were carried out to the original chassis. The bulkhead has had substantial repairs. The body was fitted with new front wings, door bottoms and rear tailgate, while the engine was refurbished by Series One engine specialist Cox and Turner. All other mechanicals were stripped, and any necessary parts replaced. Some parts were replaced with later items to ensure reliability and part availability, i.e. the brakes use Series 2 parts and the clutch assembly is the later type.The Engine number is 866091, gearbox 866126, front axle 866263. The rear axle is a replacement but the original corroded axle casing 863971 along with the original Rover flywheel and clutch, 3 nonadjustable brake back plates and various other spares will be included in the sale.Since being returned to the road in 2008 it has been used during the summer months as an everyday vehicle, and to attend vintage shows at venues all over the country, occasionally towing a vintage caravan. It has also been used for carrying awkward items, hence the rear is ply lined. It has always been well maintained and has recently been fitted with 4 new Avon Traction Mileage tyres. Sold with a V5c.

1926 Morris ‘Super Sports Style’ SpecialReg. no. CH 5766Chassis no. t.b.a.Engine no. t.b.a.Morris’ famous ‘bullnose’ radiator first adorned its cars in 1913, and over the next 13 years these distinctive cars were to become the best-selling cars in the country, establishing Morris at the forefront of British car manufacturing. By the mid-20s, there were two models – the larger, more powerful Oxford and the smaller Cowley. In 1924, the Oxford became the basis of the first MG model, as Cecil Kimber started modifying the vehicles to a more sporting specification at his Morris Garages premises in Oxford. The very first MGs were two-seaters with bodies supplied by Charles Raworth & Sons of Oxford; soon afterwards, they were followed by a two-door salonette and the attractive sporting 4-seater – after which this car’s coachwork is modelled.The modern history of this car begins in 1980, when it was found under a hedge on a smallholding near Birmingham. The engineless, bodiless remains consisted of a Cowley that had been converted to a tractor long ago. It was rescued by noted Morris expert Bev Hicks, who spent the next 11 years restoring it to the road, this time in the form of a replica of an MG Super-Sports. The engine is now the 1802cc unit from an Oxford, as was fitted to the MGs, giving a useful upgrade in power over the Cowley. The car was purchased by the late owner in 2006; finding the brakes and steering challenging, he spent much time improving these, and succeeded in making the car a capable and reliable performer. Indeed, it then saw much use, with a trip to the Loire with 25 other Bullnoses in 2008 seeing 900 trouble-free miles covered. In 2012 the car travelled to Belgium, Holland and Germany. In the file there are numerous photographs covering the restoration of the car, showing just how much work was involved in creating it. There are also numerous old MOT certificates and bills for various jobs carried out, most recently in 2013 when, amongst other jobs, the gearbox was dismantled, inspected and rebuilt. Unused for several years since the death of the owner, the car now requires recommissioning, following which it should prove to be the capable vintage car it was before – and for a fraction of the cost of an original MG Super-Sports. There is a V5C and a file of various correspondence and photographs.

1931 Morris Cowley Doctor’s CoupeReg. no. WJ 484Chassis no. t.b.a.Engine no. t.b.a.Morris updated the iconic ‘Bullnose’ in 1926, doing away with the famous rounded radiator in favour of a much more efficient flat design. This car was duly dubbed the ‘Flatnose’ and came in both larger Oxford and smaller Cowley forms. As before, the Cowley had a 1548cc four-cylinder side-valve engine, developed from an earlier Hotchkiss design. The changes were more than just cosmetic; the Cowley now had a new chassis, with semi-elliptic leaf springs all round and friction-type shock absorbers. Remaining in production until 1931, by which point over 200,000 had been sold, the flatnose Cowley was one of the best-selling cars of the late-vintage period in the UK, and today represents one of the easiest pre-war cars to own. There is plenty of club support, and parts are easy to come by.This charmingly honest Cowley doctor’s coupe is from the last year of production. With its enclosed front compartment – with partially retractable roof – it offers plenty of weather protection for the driver and front seat passenger; for the hardier souls, there is a dickey seat at the rear, offering true open-air motoring – a ride in a dickey seat is not quickly forgotten! This car was said to be running and driving well when last in use by the late owner; following several years of slumber, some recommissioning would be advisable before the car returns to the road. It comes with a V5C.

According to club records, PO 4072 was originally a saloon, however without any original bodywork remaining, its late owner decided to build a bespoke utilitarian body. The kit has an engine, chassis frame, gearbox, a set of wheels, a steering column and a host of mechanical and chassis parts. It is offered with a V5C.

1980 Mercedes 350SL R107 CabrioletReg. no. NAH 151VChassis no. 10704322015220Engine no. 11698422005036The R107 SL replaced the W113 in 1971; a hard act to follow, but the new car more than lived up to its predecessor’s high standards, becoming the longest-running model in Mercedes’ history – with the exception of the G-Class – lasting no less than 18 years. During that time, 237,287 were built, with the largest market by far being the United States – a lucrative market that Mercedes had been very keen to capitalise on. The SL was provided with both a soft-top and a removable hard-top, meaning if one so desired a coupe-like level of comfort and weatherproofing could be achieved. These cars were most at home though cruising down sunlit boulevards, be they in California, the South of France, or indeed our own Wiltshire on a sunny summer’s evening! A variety of engines were available; the most common was probably the 3.5 litre 197bhp V8, as fitted to this car.This 1980 right-hand-drive 350SL is in good all-round condition. The engine had a top end rebuilt 30,000 miles ago and is still smooth and powerful. The gearbox shifts smoothly too, and the car is said to drive very well, with excellent steering. The paint and interior are good, and the car is structurally solid, with evidence of some previous bodywork repairs. Currently MOT’d even though it is now MOT and tax exempt, this classic Mercedes has a brand-new set of tyres all round including the spare; it also comes with a V5C.

1935 Austin 7 NippyReg. no. OXS 542Chassis no. 230051Engine no. 239846By 1935, Austin’s Seven was 12 years old, but constant updating and a variety of new models had kept the car competitive, and it continued to be one of the staples of the British car market. By this point, a wide variety of Sevens were available, ranging from the new-for-1934 Ruby saloon and Pearl cabriolet to sports versions like the Nippy. Benefitting from the four-speed gearbox introduced in 1932, now with synchromesh in second, third and top, the Nippy’s engine – of 747cc, as always with Sevens – was in a higher state of tune than the standard cars, making this low-slung two-seater a proper little sports car. A top speed of 65 mph was claimed – although one of the many delights of cars such as these are that as one sits so low, the feeling of speed is greatly amplified, meaning one can have a lot of thrills at low speed – perfect for England’s country lanes.This 1935 Nippy has been fully restored over the course of five years since 2016. Work has included a fully rebuilt engine and gearbox, plus a re-cored honeycomb radiator. A new petrol tank has been fitted, as has a new wiring loom. Now in good condition in every department, this fine 1930s sports Seven comes with a current V5C.

1931 Austin 12 HarrowReg. no. KJ 2227Chassis no. 68864 (as per plate on car) V5C states 6TT2492Engine no. 69375L (according to the logbook)Introduced in 1921 as a scaled-down version of Austin’s large 20, the ‘Heavy’ 12 soon acquired an enviable reputation for strength and reliability, and this reputation, coupled to periodic updates, kept the model in production right up to 1939. Many different body styles were offered over the 18 years, but the most obvious mechanical change – the increase in engine capacity from 1660 to 1861cc – took place in 1926. This larger engine only produced 27bhp, but the long-stroke engines that the tax regulations of the time encouraged produced good low-speed torque. A four-speed crash gearbox was standard.This 1931 Heavy 12 is the ‘Harrow’ 2-seater with dickey seat. Supplied new by Rootes of Maidstone to a Miss Halifax-Ward – a relation or friend of Herbert Austin – it was acquired from an unknown second owner in 1966 by Robert Thornton, who kept it until 1973, in which year it was featured in a Michael Sedgwick article for Veteran and Vintage Magazine, a copy of which is with the car. In 2006 it was exported to Ireland and registered there, returning to the UK and being re-registered with the original number plate in 2014. It was purchased by the current owner in May 2015, and since then has been used for many trips to France. The car benefits from a coil conversion, using the original magneto drive, plus a new wiper motor, a new radiator, and overhauled and tested dynamo, and a lot of other general maintenance, particularly work done to the brakes and front hubs. Currently it requires the brakes to be readjusted and balanced, and the included water pump seal fitted. With good paintwork and interior, and very good mechanical and electrical components, this rare example of a more sporting Heavy 12/4 comes with a current V5C.

1937 Brough Superior 6-cylinder 3.5 litre Drophead Coupe – The subject of a recent full restorationReg. no. GB 1935Chassis no. 722312Engine no. t.b.a.Motoring was in George Brough’s family from early in his childhood; in the 1890s, his father, William, started producing motorcycles in Nottingham. When George was old enough to play a part in the family business, he wanted to steer it towards high-performance machines, but encountered paternal resistance. As a result of this, he struck out on his own in 1919, naming his new company Brough Superior. Made using the highest-quality components available, the new machines lived up to their ‘Superior’ tag, soon becoming sought-after and prestigious motorcycles. Most Brough Superiors were built to the requirements of the individual customer, so there were rarely two the same, but they all shared the same quality and high performance. George Brough himself was often to be seen competing or setting records on his own products, sporting his distinctive flat cap.From 1935, the company added cars to its line-up. The cars were based on a chassis and drivetrain supplied by Hudson, much like the contemporary Railtons of Noel Macklin. At first, straight-eight engines were used; however, opposition to this from Macklin led to Hudson supplying 3.5-litre six-cylinder engines instead. With 107bhp – 140 with the optional Centric supercharger – these cars were very quick for their time. Coachwork was supplied by W.C Atcherley of Birmingham; while saloons were available, most cars were fitted with open coachwork, as befitted such a sporting manufacturer. Car production ended in 1939, with only around 85 examples produced.This 1937 3.5-litre Brough Superior sports a superb drop-head coupe body by W.C Atcherley. Subject to a thorough restoration between 2003 and 2021, it is now in excellent all-round condition. The ash body frame has been rebuilt and refitted with the original aluminium body panels. A new hood frame has been constructed and fitted with a new mohair and cashmere hood. The interior has been reupholstered and fitted with new Wilton carpets, and the steering wheel has been refurbished. The bonnet, running boards and front valance are all new, built by Peter Clairidge, while the steel wings are the originals. Mechanically, the engine has been rebuilt with new white metal bearings, new valves and guides, new timing gears and new piston rings, while the gearbox has been rebuilt by Ian John. The clutch plate has been re-corked, and the brakes overhauled. A handmade stainless exhaust has been fitted, along with a new fuel tank by Reed Engineering. The leaf springs have been re-tempered, and a full rewire carried out. The list of work is truly impressive and supported by plenty of bills in the file that accompanies this rare, high-quality and fast automobile. It also comes with an old logbook and a current V5C.

1978 Datsun Coupe 120YReg. no. YTT 198SChassis no. KB210-866782Engine no. A12-036153The origins of the Datsun name go as far back as 1914 but for the last 50 years of the company’s life, 1933 to 1983, it was owned by The Nissan Motor Co. Ltd Yokohama but still badged as Datsun. This model was fitted with the A12 engine from 1977 to 1981, which was powered by a 4-cylinder OHV engine of 1171 cc which was described as giving lively performance on low grade fuel and with a reported fuel consumption of 41 mpg. Coming from long term ownership this particular Datsun was first sold to a Wilfred F Worth of Plymstock, Plymouth on 1st January 1978 by K.G Haskell & Son of Plympton. Originally registered NTK 302S, the car was then assigned the private plate WFW 555. Mr Worth kept the car until 2003 during which time, the car was always garaged, but left unused for many years due to illness. Our vendor then recommissioned the car and put it back on the road and registered it in his mother’s name, in 2005. Used sporadically until 2007, YTT 198S was again laid up pending work needed, until 2016. Now registered in the vendor’s name a comprehensive catalogue of works was undertaken. The car was given a bare metal respray, new front wings and much mechanical restoration using new and reconditioned parts. The charging system was also upgraded to a modern alternator. The car was also wax oiled to protect the metal work. Since restoration was completed the car has been used for many trips and successfully completed a tour in France without problems. The vendor has also stated that the car has always been garaged in his ownership. Given its known history and long periods off the road it would appear that the recorded mileage of around 55,000 miles is correct. The interior is finished in brown cloth/vinyl which is in very good condition.Offered for sale with a current V5c, some invoices and paperwork relating to the restoration, a few old tax discs and MOT certificates, its original owner’s manual, with Mr Worth's details filled in, a second owner’s manual, an October 1978 Datsun sales brochure, two 120Y sales leaflets and a period warranty booklet (although this doesn't relate to this car but another Sunny).

1924 Austin 7 Scoop Scuttle Pramhood Chummy – same family ownership since 1966Reg. no. DD 4046Chassis no. A13044Engine no. M3087Austin’s ‘full-sized car in miniature’, the Seven of 1923, helped save the company from dire financial problems, and taught other British car manufacturers a valuable lesson – that a car does not have to sacrifice its ‘car-ness’ when it becomes small, and that a small car can indeed be just that, and doesn’t have to be a strange contraption with more in common with motorcycles. Thus, it both ushered in a new wave of small cars from other manufacturers and spelled the end of the cyclecar. It wasn’t just in Britain where the Seven was influential; it was built under licence in Germany, France, Japan and the United States as well, the design proving sound enough to satisfy customers in all of those diverse markets. The Seven came in many different forms over its long production life, but perhaps the best-known and purest remains the basic four-seater tourer, the Chummy.In 1966 DD 4046 was discovered in Cricklade, near Swindon, by well-known Austin 7 enthusiast Fred Eley, where it had been dry stored for 28 years. According to a newspaper cutting in the history file, Fred secured the car from the farmer owner, he then stripped the car down, cleaned and restored the paintwork where necessary, but Fred declared at the time that the car was in such good condition, with just 32,000 miles on the odometer, that it didn’t take very long to make it roadworthy, with everything still in very original condition. Fred then exhibited DD 4046 at many rallies, winning numerous awards, and he even toured Holland in it, in 1970. At the 1982 Austin Diamond Jubilee DD 4046 was the fifth oldest Austin 7 present (programme in the file). After Fred died in 1997 ‘Bluebell’, as she was affectionately known, was placed on loan to the Atwell Wilson Motor Museum, in the same town where Fred resided, and she has been there on display until now. We understand that the engine was last started in 2003, so full recommissioning will be required prior to use. DD 4046 is offered with a display board of various trophies won, some award certificates, old photographs, postcards, newspaper cuttings, a V5 and a full Austin 7 tool kit also on a display board.

1931 Riley 9 Mk. IV Two-Seater and Dickey – two family owners from new! To be sold with Registration Number 9445 MW – on retention.Reg. no. MW 9445Chassis no. 6013593Engine no. 31340Introduced in 1926, Riley’s twin-cam Nine offered excellent performance for a car in its class. Displacing just 1.1 litres, the excellent Percy Riley-designed engine had a high-revving nature that placed it in sharp contrast to many British engines of the time. For 1929 the Nine was given a thorough revision, including an effective new cable braking system which was adjustable from the driver’s seat. In true Riley fashion, there was a vast array of bodies available and this configuration of a front compartment plus a dickey seat, is less common. MW 9445 was purchased by Fred Eley of Calne from a solicitor in Frome in 1968 for the princely sum of £50. The solicitor had bought the Riley new and kept the car for 39 years, then reluctantly selling the car to Fred, who proceeded to carry out restoration where required. The car was then used extensively winning many awards, and even toured to the south of France in 1971. In 1969 Fred purchased a council dustcart with the inverse number plate of 9445 MW, which he then kept on his modern car. This registration number will be offered with the Riley. In 1997, when Fred died, the Riley was placed on loan to the Atwell Wilson Motor Museum in Calne, where it resided until very recently. Having not been started since 2003, the car will require full recommissioning prior to use. It is offered with a file of history that includes newspaper cuttings, some award certificates and a V5, plus the aforementioned retention certificate.

1955 Sunbeam Talbot Super 90Reg. no. RCD 312Chassis no. A3502546/9HSOEngine no. A3502546/9HSOIntroduced in 1948, the 90 brought the Sunbeam-Talbot brand – part of the Rootes Group – up to date with the new fashions of the post-war period. Underneath, however, the car was conventional, and indeed carried over many components from the pre-war models. Nevertheless, it proved a good performer, with almost 80mph achievable from the early models. By 1955, the engine had been enlarged and the car was even more capable, with its 80bhp pushing it to over 90mph. Despite its large proportions, luxurious interior and rather stately stature, the 90 was also a successful motorsport competitor, with a crew including Stirling Moss finishing second on the 1952 Monte Carlo Rally, and an outright win in that same event in 1955. Formula 1 great Jim Clark got his first taste of motorsport in a 90, competing in driving tests and sprints in his native Scottish Borders.This 1955 example is in good mechanical condition and is said to run well. In fair cosmetic condition, it should prove a useable example of this luxurious but surprisingly sporting 1950s classic. It comes with a variety of bills and a V5C.

The Chevrolet Bel Air has been considered by many to be an icon of the 1950s. This second-generation Bel Air came with features found on cars in the lower models ranges plus interior carpet, chrome headliner bands on hardtops, chrome spears on front fenders, full wheel covers and a Ferrari-inspired front grille. For 1955 Chevrolets gained a V8 engine option.Little is known about this 1956 example, except that it has had considerable money spent on restoration over the years. Its late owner had carried out much of the expensive work over several years, including a respray. Nothing is known about the condition of the V8 engine, but this car deserves to be finished and will be a fabulous looking classic when completed. There sadly aren’t any documents with the car.

1950 Bentley Mk.VI SaloonReg. no. GOW 925Chassis no. B153GTEngine no. B76GFounded in 1919 by W O Bentley, the firm Bentley Motors itself needs little introduction to the old car world. From their Le Mans winning cars through to the 8-litre introduced in 1931, they gained a reputation of fast, reliable cars. The Great Depression of 1929 meant that demand for luxury cars throttled back and when in 1931 two mortgage repayments became due neither the firm or their backers were able to make the repayments, so Bentley Motors went into liquidation. Napier offered to buy Bentley with the purchase to be final in November 1931. Instead, British Central Equitable Trust made a winning sealed bid of £125,000. British Central Equitable Trust later proved to be a front for Rolls-Royce Ltd. Not even Bentley himself knew the identity of the purchaser until the deal was completed.The Mk.VI was introduced in 1946 and continued until 1952 and was the first post war luxury car from Bentley. It was the first car from Rolls-Royce with all steel coachwork and the first complete car assembled and finished at their factory. The Mk.VI was initially powered by a 4 1/4 litre straight 6 engine (4257 cc). Bentley refused to disclose a HP value for the car but a report by the Autocar magazine produced in 1950 reported that top gear provided flexibility down to 6 mph.The car offered for sale comes from a deceased estate. Apart from a V5c and an original Mk.VI handbook and operating instructions, not original to the car, all other paperwork has been mislaid although that is being searched for and will be forwarded to any purchaser if it should come to light. We are informed that the car did have a partial respray in recent years and was used extensively to tour the UK. Finished in a light grey with brown interior and sunroof for the days when it's prudent to open it, the car presents a majestic appearance.Observations on the car showed that the engine started ready and settled down to a smooth tick-over. The car pulls well in all gears and has this month been driven for approximately 10 miles with no problems. The bodywork needs some further improvement and repairs, in particular the bottom of the doors. The front wings and underneath appear solid. The rear wheel spat, and centre pillar light (not shown in the photos) are with the car.The brown leather interior is original and in serviceable condition. Inset into the back of the front seat are two pull-out picnic tables; all instruments are present, and the current milometer reading is 78973.

The car's excellent tractability, well-spaced gear ratios and powerful brakes all came in for praise, Autocar concluding that the TA14's, "very high level of excellence puts this Alvis right in the front rank". This example has formed part of a large collection for many years, following restoration by Chapel Classics about 20 years ago. Said to be running well by our vendor, this car is fitted with a dynometer, and is offered with a V5C.

Extremely strong, reliable and smooth, the R107 embodied all the best characteristics of Mercedes of this era. The original 1971 styling had aged well too; the R107 always did look sharp and was certainly not overshadowed by its newer competitors. Not that there were many competitors; few cars could hope to compete with the SL’s imperious quality. In Europe, the largest-engined model available was the 500SL, with its 237bhp 5-litre V8. Coupled to a 4-speed automatic gearbox, this gave an extremely smooth driving experience, with a good turn of pace if so required. The retractable fabric roof meant open-top motoring was readily available, while the removable hard-top gave the option to convert the car to coupe-like comfort and resultant silence.This 1984 500 SL has had just three owners from new, the last purchase was in 2015, before which it had been with one owner for 26 years. The car has been in storage for most of 2019, 20 and 21, and has travelled less than 1000 miles in that period. Since coming out of storage, the car has been MOT’d. Around £1000 of repairs were carried out for this. Now in good all-round condition, the interior is particularly good, with excellent seats. The fabric roof is new. The hardtop is included but has a cracked rear screen that will require repair, and this available as part of the sale if desired, to be collected from the vendor in Surrey by prior arrangement within one month of the sale. The mileage currently stands at 114,650 at the time of cataloguing, and the car will be driven to the sale. The vendor reports that it has never broken down during his custodianship, and the engine, gearbox and electrics are all in good order. It comes with various bills, an MOT until July next year, and a current V5C.

1965 Peel TridentReg. no. Currently Registered in IrelandChassis no. E143Engine no. 80416004726The Isle of Man has a rich history of motorsport, but the distinction of the island’s only vehicle manufacturer falls to the Peel Engineering Company, based in Peel on the west coast. Specialists in fibreglass construction, Peel made both fibreglass boats through its subsidiary West Marine, and sports fairings for motorcycles – a good business to be in on the Isle of Man. In 1955, a prototype four-wheeled microcar was produced, the Manxcar. Powered by a 250cc Anzani engine, it never entered production, but the seed was sown. In 1962 production of the 49cc P50 microcar commenced, followed two years later by the Trident. First unveiled at the 1964 Earls Court Motorcycle Show, the Trident featured a new body design but used the P50’s Zweirad Union single-cylinder engine and three-speed gearbox without reverse. When featuring the 49cc engine, it achieved an advertised top speed of 38 mph and a reported 100 mpg. Around 90 Peel Tridents were made, with around 35 original cars believed remaining.This delightful Peel Trident is well known to the Peel register who have been happy to confirm its chassis and engine number as being correct and with its original body and dome. It has been previously owned by bubble car enthusiast Tony Marshall (author of the book "More Microcars"), who took the original historic picture of FYF 17C (the car’s original UK registration) being loaded onto the roof rack of another car. In fact, this very car is featured in the book. Now part of a deceased estate sale this vehicle was last owned and run by larger-than-life character and club member Barrie Willis.The vehicle is currently registered on Irish plates - 65-C-837 - in Cork, Ireland. An Irish registration document is available. The car was last used in 2017 when it was regularly taken to rallies and shows. As such, it has had various upgrades allowing it to be used more effectively on modern day roads. Larger wheels, a modern steering wheel and an upgraded petrol tank are just a few of these. Included in the sale are the original steering wheel, petrol tank and wheel rims. Due to the lack of use over the last four years, light recommissioning is advised, where after the car could be driven as is or restored to original specification. It should be noted that the Peel is currently registered in Ireland so the new owner, if outside Ireland, will have to formally import the car into their own country and pay the necessary tax and duty. If staying in the UK it is believed that it will be possible to retrieve from the DVLA the original registration, but any prospective purchaser will have to satisfy themselves that this is possible.

1953 MG YB SaloonReg. no. YMG 17Chassis no. YB1014Engine no. XPAG/SC/1790Introduced for the 1952 model year, the MG YB was an improved version of the YA, which was MG’s small saloon in the immediate post-war era – although it actually had pre-war origins. Compared to the YA, the YB had a completely new Lockheed twin leading shoe brake system, a more modern hypoid back axle, and smaller 15-inch wheels, which gave better road-holding. It also benefitted from an anti-roll bar and improved shock absorbers, the result being a car that was more modern to drive than its predecessor, even if on the surface the cars looked very similar. Power was still supplied by the same 1250cc XPAG engine, offering respectable performance for a car in its class. Just 1301 YBs were built before the type was replaced by the ZA Magnette in 1953.This 1953 YB was in the possession of the late owner for 12 years – other cars came and went in that time, but this was the one he loved and the only one he kept that long. In that time, it has been used sparingly, covering less than 200 gentle miles every year, mainly around rural lanes or going to occasional shows. The car’s first owner was Phyllis Calvert, who was one of the most prominent and popular film actresses in Britain in the 1940s and 50s; accompanying this vehicle are a signed photo and a note from her to the second owner. It also comes with some tax discs and some MOTs back to 1984. In good all-round condition and said to perform well, this rare MG also comes with a V5C.
