1961 Vanden Plas PrincessReg. no. 730 CXHChassis no. VDM 414955Engine no. 14936Launched as the Austin A135 Princess in 1952 and re-branded as a Vanden Plas in 1960, this large 4-litre limousine represented the last in the line of large luxury Austins. Although using Austin underpinnings, the car was actually built at the Vanden Plas works in Kingsbury in North London, an arrangement that would continue right up until the end of production in 1968. Extremely luxuriously appointed, with plenty of polished wood and thick carpeting, the Princess was not aimed at the general market – the options of monograms and a flagstaff attested to that. Instead, it was aimed at heads of state, dignitaries, and other customers who required a dignified car in which to be seen and transported. Although not sports cars by any stretch of the imagination, by the early 60s Princesses could reach about 85mph, although the big 4-litre straight six and automatic gearbox were more intended for refined, smooth progress. They proved excellent at this, and Princesses are still a popular choice as event cars, particularly for weddings and other such occasions where their air of timeless British luxury provides a touch of class.This 1961 Princess was originally owned by a shipping company as directors’ transport. After that, it was used for many years for weddings. At some point before 1974 the original cloth upholstery in the rear was replaced with imitation leather; the front compartment retains its original leather. Originally black, the car has gone through several resprays before reaching its current colour scheme. It is in good sound condition bodywork-wise. The engine has been converted to run on unleaded fuel. These cars represent value, not least when one considers they can seat eight people, and this one looks ideal for either a return to work, or as a luxury classic with space for all the family. It comes with service history back to 1974, plus a V5C.Estimate: £3,000 – 4,000

1931 Austin 16/6 Burnham SaloonReg. no. VO 6257Chassis no. 24502/6Engine no. 24722L6The Austin 16/6 was launched in 1927, bridging the gap in Austin’s range between the 12/4 and the 20 and giving the company an entry into the expanding six-cylinder market. The side-valve 2249cc engine was a smooth unit, the crankshaft running in no fewer than eight main bearings. A conservative 36bhp was claimed and was transmitted through a four-speed gearbox. In the early years of the model a large variety of body styles were offered, but by the early 1930s, the range had been somewhat consolidated. A consistently popular model was the Burnham saloon; this six-light model exuded a dignified presence, and was well-finished inside, with high-quality leather upholstery and such luxuries as folding tables on the back of the front seats for the use of the rear-seat passengers.This 1931 Burnham is in very presentable all-round condition, having been in the good hands of an enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable late member of the Austin Ten Drivers’ Club. He carried out much work to the car to bring it to the fine condition in which it is presented today, and the car runs and drives extremely well. It also benefits from a few modifications for modern driving conditions, such as flashing indicators. There are comprehensive collections of recent receipts and history. Also present are some letters and some detail on previous owners, plus three folders full of photocopied brochures relating to the model, workshop manuals, technical data and parts lists. It also comes with a spare block, a large trunk, several useful spares, many MOTs dating back to 1987, an RF60 logbook from 1962, and a current V5C.Estimate: £11,000 – 12,000
1909 Renault Type AZ 12/16 HP LandauletteReg. no. BF 4907Chassis no. 15067Engine no. t.b.a.Founded in 1899 by the three Renault brothers – Louis, the engineering mind behind the cars, and Marcel and Fernand, who provided the business acumen – the Renault company quickly established a firm foothold in the pioneer world of the early car industry. The company was involved in motorsport from its earliest years; Louis and Marcel actively campaigned their own products until Marcel was killed during the infamously dangerous 1903 Paris-Madrid race. Louis never raced again, but Renault cars continued in motorsport, and in 1906 Ferenc Szisz won the very first Grand Prix driving a 90CV model. At this time Renault made a car for every taste; from the hugely powerful racing cars on one end of the scale, to small capacity voiturettes on the other.The 12CV AZ model was launched in 1909. Fitting somewhere in the middle of Renault’s large range, it had a 2.4 litre fixed head side valve engine. This engine used magneto ignition and thermo-syphon cooling, as did most other cars of the era; unusually, however, the radiator was behind the engine, and covered by the ‘coal scuttle’ bonnet that was to be a distinctive feature on Renaults for another twenty years. Shaft drive was utilised, while the conventional ladder chassis rode on semi-elliptic leaf springs at the front, with three-quarter elliptic springs at the back. Braking was on the rear wheels, controlled by a hand-operated lever. The 12CV proved a successful model, and Renault went from strength to strength, increasing its overall yearly production to 5,100 by 1910.This 1909 example is an original UK-market car, supplied new by ‘Renault Freres Ltd for Great Britain and the Colonies’. The landaulette body was built upon the chassis by Lucas of London. In true landaulette fashion, the somewhat austere chauffeur’s area – the front seat – stands in sharp contrast to the sumptuous luxury of the rear cabin. At least the chauffeur in this instance is blessed with a wooden roof for some weather protection, while the passengers in the rear can either be contained in weatherproof comfort, or, if the weather is fine, the soft top can be lowered, the windows likewise, and they can enjoy the sun and scenery while being driven gently along.The identity of this car’s first owner is unknown, but it was first registered as KN18 in Kent. Later it was in the ownership of Mrs D Green of Trowbridge in Wiltshire, but other than that the car’s early history is not known. At some point it crossed the Atlantic to the Unites States, whence it was repatriated in 1990. Later, it was purchased from Bob Bentley of Classic Automobiles Ltd by renowned Edwardian motorcar collector Tony Stephens. It is to Mr Stephens that the car owes its attractive colour scheme of green with yellow coach lines. Sold in 2008 to an owner in its ‘home’ county of Kent, the car was purchased by the late owner three years later. In the current ownership, it has been treated to an engine overhaul by specialists Henal Engineering Ltd of East Sussex and has benefitted from the fitting of a Zenith carburettor and electric starter.Estimate: £30,000 – 40,000
1986 Porsche 911 CarreraReg. no. 70 WKNChassis no. WP0ZZZ91ZGS150494Engine no. 63G01553The Porsche 911 was introduced in its first form in 1964 and was for a long time the face of Porsche. The replacement for the SC series came in 1984 as the 911 3.2 Carrera, reviving the Carrera name for the first time since 1977. This was the last iteration in the original 911 series, with all subsequent models featuring new body styling and new brake, electronic, and suspension technologies. A new higher-displacement engine, a 3.2-litre horizontally opposed flat 6-cylinder unit, was utilized. At the time Porsche claimed it was 80% new. Three basic models were available – coupé, targa and cabriolet. The Carrera is almost indistinguishable from the SC with the external clue being the front fog lights that were integrated into the front valance. Total production of the 911 3.2 Carrera series was 76,473 cars of which just under 20,000 were cabriolets.70 WKN was originally sold new in Cornwall. There is a letter on file from a previous owner stating that the car did have a full service history but that had unfortunately been lost. Acquired by the vendor in 2004, this Carrera has been used sparingly since and is offered in its eye-catching yellow livery with blue leather interior and black hood. When inspected the car fired up immediately; the 3.2l flat six engine has a throaty note, with rapid acceleration; drive is by a 5-speed manual gearbox. All gears engaged as they should. It should be noted that some minor bodywork issues exist which a new owner might want to address. The rear nearside wing has a paint crack and there is some minor bubbling on the front nearside wing; the hood is in good condition. At some point in the past the car seems to have been involved in an accident and was classed as a Category C insurance claim (Cat. C being uneconomic to repair at that time due to the car’s value). The vendor had the car checked over and there was no apparent structural damage hidden after repair. The car is fitted with a Toad alarm and there are several old MOT certificates in the file. Also included is some service history, old tax discs and an original driver’s manual. This is a car that is ready to enjoy this summer and would benefit from some improvements next winter.Estimate: £25,000 – 30,000
1932 Austin 7 Special 2-seaterReg. no. RUY 802Chassis no. 146964Engine no. UnknownAlmost as soon as they first rolled out of Longbridge in 1923, enthusiasts have been experimenting with Austin Sevens, with many thousands of Sevens having been modified and enhanced. The aims of these modifications have taken various forms – to make a Seven a quick track racing car, for example, is very different to making one that will excel on a trials hill. The joy of building an Austin Seven special is that whatever route one chooses to go down, there are bound to be many knowledgeable people, and parts supply is excellent. It is testimony to the long-lasting appeal of these cars that the Austin Seven special-building community is still vibrant and thriving today, just one year from the model’s centenary.This 1932 special project was purchased by the vendor in 2009; no work has been done to it since then. The chassis and body are both in good condition, while the engine and gearbox are both dismantled. The car has a number plate, but this is no longer on the DVLA system. Estimate: £3,000 – 4,000No Reserve
1976 MG MidgetReg. no. RKG 67RChassis no. t.b.a.Engine no. t.b.a.By 1976 MG’s popular midget was a well-established part of the British motoring scene, their affordability and ease of maintenance meaning that many thousands found appreciative owners, who got to experience all the joys of traditional British sports car ownership, without breaking the bank. From 1974, the Midget benefitted from the installation of the 1500cc Triumph engine in place of the 1275 A-Series, the larger engine producing the same 65bhp but more torque, giving a noticeable improvement in performance. Also new for 1974 were the black US-spec bumpers; these ‘rubber bumper’ cars have long divided opinion but are now coming into favour with enthusiasts.This 1976 1500 Midget is a restoration project that should prove most rewarding, with parts easy to come by. The engine turns freely.Estimate: £1,500 – 2,000
1974 Rover P6 3500SReg. no. GAE 397NChassis no. 48111099DEngine no. t.b.a.The Rover P6 represented something of a departure from the P4 which it replaced in 1963. Whereas the P4 was traditional and somewhat conservative – although still a superb car – the P6 was forward-thinking and thoroughly modern. It was extremely well-received, and in 1964 became the very first winner of the European Car of the Year title. Intended to appeal to a broad market, the P6 was priced lower and initially had smaller four-cylinder engines, as opposed to the P4’s thirsty ‘six’. It offered some ground-breaking features for a car in its class, such as De Dion tube rear suspension and four-wheel disc brakes – inboard at the rear. In terms of styling, too, it was bang up to date, and indeed still looked good after a few minor revisions when production ended in 1977. The ‘ultimate’ P6 is often said to be the V8-engined 3500, which was first offered in 1968 after Rover acquired the rights to the superb Buick-derived V8 engine from General Motors. Particularly in manual 3500S form – S here standing for ‘synchromesh’ – the P6 with this engine became a real driver’s car, with performance that still holds up well in 2021.This superb 1974 3500S was bought new by a Mr Pollard of Bristol. The car was supplied by MWM Motors in rare Paprika Red with Ebony leather upholstery, its £3,186.75 purchase price including a spare wheel mounting, Radiomobile 1095 unit and full ‘End Rust’ treatment. Mr Pollard was to own the car until his death in 1999, always having it MOT tested and maintained by MWM, with work carried out including new wings and a respray. The car passed to a family friend, who similarly cherished the car – indeed, it has been a regular attendee and award winner at car shows in the South West. Gunston & Kelly of Bristol took over MOT duties, and thus, remarkably, this car has only been MOT tested by two garages in its 47 years. With just three registered keepers in two families, detailed MOT history and continuous Bristol ownership from new, this P6 has excellent pedigree. The odometer stuck at 81,640 miles in 2017, but the car has only seen minimal usage since then. In very good all-round condition, and said to be running and driving well, this fine example of one of the most useable 70s classics comes with the aforementioned MOT history, owner’s manual, Radiomobile instructions, and a two-part Repair Operation Manual in its original British Leyland box.Estimate: £10,000 – 12,000
1947/48 Austin 16 SaloonReg. no. CBV 66Chassis no. BS1 30868Engine no. IB 30500Launched in 1945, the ‘BS1’ series 16 was Austin’s first new model for the post-war era. While sharing its name with the 16 of 1927-1937, the car was in fact based on the 1939 12, which had been relaunched after the war. While the chassis and body were shared, the 16 benefitted from an all-new 2199cc four-cylinder overhead-valve engine. This produced 67bhp and could propel the car to around 75mph; very respectable performance for the time. Comfortable, sturdy and well-built cars, in the finest Austin tradition, a team of three 16s proved their mettle in the harsh winter of 1947, successfully visiting seven European capitals in seven days, in spite of atrocious conditions. A notable feature of the 16 is the in-built hydraulic jacking system operated from the engine bay; an example of the level of thought that went into Austin cars of the period. Notably, the 1 millionth Austin car produced was a BS1; that car now resides in the British Motor Museum. In total, 35,434 were made.This example of a 16 is in decent all-round condition; unfortunately, little is known about the history of the car, as it comes from a deceased estate. Subject to a recent repaint, it should provide dependable 1940s motoring, and will certainly stand out – 16s of this era are seldom seen. It will be offered with a V5C.Estimate: £3,000 – 4,000
c.1903 Georges Richard (Anonyme)Reg. no. BS 8083Chassis no. 490Engine no. 359The Richard Company was founded in Paris in about 1850 making photographic and optical equipment and then, like so many early pioneer car firms, moved onto making bicycles. The two brothers Georges and Max offered a Benz like car in 1897 which was joined by a small car based on the Belgian Vivinus. In 1901 Henri Brasier joined the company from Mors and it was under his regime the Georges Richard Company started making larger cars along Panhard lines with two or four-cylinder engines ranging from 10 to 40 hp. After 1905 the firm changed its name to Brasier and Georges Richard left the firm to set up his own company under the brand name Unic.The car offered for sale is an attractive and powerful veteran. It has a 2.3 litre (16.4 hp) twin cylinder engine coupled to a 3-speed and reverse gearbox. With a full four seat double phaeton body finished in red, which the owner describes as good but with some patina, and black button upholstery it can easily carry adults to Brighton in comfort, ascending Redhill, Clayton and Pyecombe hills without assistance, which is always a bonus. The current owner acquired the car in 1993 and entered every London to Brighton until 1999. The car completed all but one run which was halted due to a broken half shaft.Sharp eyed readers will notice the heading for a maker of the vehicle. Whilst it was in Germany the car was dated by a German club as a 1902 Georges Richard and indeed that is recorded on the V5. The car was presented to the VCC dating Committee in 1994 whilst under the Chairmanship of the late Malcolm Jeal, the ex-editor of The Automobile Magazine and respected motor historian. Despite extensive research they were unable to categorically say the chassis was Georges Richard or that the engine was the original. They were however of the opinion that all the parts were of the correct period and the main components were an entity from an unknown maker and issued a Certificate of Eligibility, a copy of which is in the file. This Certificate enables the car to be entered not only for the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, but also for VCC events including the ever popular Single and Twins Rallies. The car was subject to some work in the 1990s. Some was carried out in our vendor’s professional workshop whilst the more specialist work such as white metalling and some machining was carried out by sub-contractors. This work included rebuilding the axles and gearbox and a new flywheel being manufactured. The car has been in storage since 2001 and will require careful re-commissioning. The leather cone clutch is currently stuck but we understand that with applications of neatsfoot oil should come free fairly easily. The only concessions to modern motoring are the fitting of electric lights as a safety precaution, and the fitting of modern ignition coils.Included in the sale are the Certificate of Eligibility, a German passport dated 1988, a V5C, dating correspondence between the vendor and the VCC dating Committee, sundry bills and old MOT certificates, literature and photographs showing BS 8083 on the London to Brighton Run, four brass lamps, stick basket, wheel spanner and front and rear tonneau covers, the front doubling as a knee warmer for those ever so wet events in November. Estimate: £40,000 – 60,000
1974 Jaguar 5.3 XJ12L AutoReg. no. JB 9700Chassis no. 2R2243BWEngine no. 7P7508SAThe Jaguar XJ range was given a major facelift for 1974, these ‘Series 2’ cars having the distinction of being the last cars on which Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons had an active input before his retirement. Externally, the car now had larger bumpers and a smaller grille, due to American market requirements, while on the inside the biggest change was a much-improved heating and ventilation system – an Achilles’ heel of the old model. Initially available were the long-serving 2.8 and 4.2-litre straight-sixes, plus the 5.3-litre V12 that had first become available in the Series 1 in 1972. The top-of-the-range V12 delivered its 269bhp through a three-speed Borg-Warner automatic gearbox and was good for a top speed of around 140mph – making it one of the fastest saloon cars of the time. With excellent handling to match the performance, and a superbly luxurious interior full of leather and wood, the XJ12 was all the car anyone could wish for in 1974.This low-mileage early Series 2 XJ12 has a well-documented history, showing that its first owner owned the car until 1986 and only covered around 13,500 miles. The second owner had the car for three years, and prepared it for Jaguar Drivers’ Club concours events, several of which were won. The third owner purchased it in 1989 at 24,700 miles, and our vendor then bought it the following year, the 1990 MOT recording the mileage as 25,659. He then used the car for ‘high days and holidays’ until around 2001, when it was laid up but still occasionally driven on private land. Unused since around 2011, it now displays just 31,447 miles from new. The engine has not been run since 2011 but has been turned over on the starter. There is some rust to the wheel arches and some micro-blistering on the paintwork – to be expected for a car of this age, even if it is one with such low mileage. Now in need of full recommissioning before returning to the road, this XJ12 also comes with the private plate JB 9700, which was transferred onto it during the current ownership. It also comes with many old MOT certificates from 1977 onwards, plus various bills and a V5C.Estimate: £1,500 – 2,000No Reserve
1968 Morris 1000 VanReg. no. VPH 119GChassis no. MAV5249547Engine no. UnknownThe success of the Minor as a passenger car meant it was a logical step to introduce commercial variants, and this duly happened in 1953 with the launch of both van and pick-up versions. To cope with the more strenuous work these cars were expected to perform, they were given full chassis instead of the semi-monocoque construction of the passenger cars. Together with the Traveller estate, the commercials were the last UK-built Minors to end production, in April 1971.This 1968 van, a storage find about which little is known, is a worthwhile project. As with all Minors, parts are readily available; indeed, for the commercials even entire new chassis are available. The engine turns over freely, and the van comes with a V5C
1960 MGA 1600cc SportsReg. no. SFV 452Chassis no. GHN 83323Engine no. 16GA/U/1692Officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1955, the MGA represented a clean break from the pre-war nature of the T-series cars that preceded it. Available as both an open sports car and a coupe, so different was it to other MGs that the letter A was used to signify a new start, a clean break from the older cars. Compared to the TF, the driver sat much lower, this being achieved by moving the chassis rails further apart and dropping the floor down between them. This resulted in both a more immersive driving experience and better handling. Under the bonnet, there was a new engine replacing the pre-war-derived XPAG unit, this being the 1.5 litre B-Series unit that MG now had access to as a result of the merger with Austin to form BMC. By 1960, the B-Series had grown to 1.6 litres, putting out 79.5bhp. These 1600 cars also gained disc brakes at the front. Tested by ‘The Motor’ in 1959, the MGA 1600 was found to have a top speed of just over 96mph and a 0-60 time of 13.3 seconds – performance that put it on a similar footing to rivals from the likes of Triumph.This 1960 MGA 1600 was purchased by the vendor as an almost-finished restoration project in 2003. Over the next three years it was completed, and since then it has been in regular use, and regularly run with the Swansea Historic Vehicle Register. It has featured in their calendar in 2012 and picked up a few minor awards at club shows. The car has been maintained as a genuine runner and has participated in several long-distance runs, such as attending classic events in Ireland. Naturally in good condition mechanically, it is also good body-wise, with a professional repaint in the late 90s, although there is a scratch and dent on the driver’s door. This extremely useable example of this classic British sports car, may require some minor recommissioning and is offered with a V5C, a set of wire wheels, various re-chromed bumpers, side screens etc.Estimate: £12,000 – 15,000
1952 MG TD LHDReg. no. LSL 751Chassis no. TD/22548Engine no. 17359The MG TD was launched in 1950, combining the familiar T-Series body style with the chassis and suspension of the new Y-Type saloon. This meant that for the first time, the T had independent front suspension, and contemporary road tests called the improvement in comfort as ‘striking’. The engine was carried over from the TC, this being the excellent and highly tuneable 1250cc XPAG unit, and providing 54.5bhp. The four-speed gearbox was new, while the TD also gained the rack-and-pinion steering setup from the Y-Type saloon. The TD was designed very much with the US market in mind – the TC had sold very well there, despite never being made in left-hand-drive – and all but 1656 of the nearly 30,000 made were exported, most to the US.The first owner of this car is understood to have been a US serviceman in Europe when he purchased this car; he then took it back with him to the States. It returned to these shores in 2000, and the vendor purchased it in March 2001. It is the vendor’s understanding that he is only the car’s third owner, after the original owner and the person who imported it to the UK. Around 15 years ago the original 4-speed gearbox was replaced with a Ford 5-speed unit – a common conversion that makes these cars much nicer to drive in modern traffic. The car is in presentable all-round condition, but is currently a non-runner due to an issue on cylinder number two; the car is offered with a fully rebuilt spare engine, and a variety of parts, a new hood etc. It also comes with a V5C and various handbooks.Estimate: £8,000 – 12,000
1967 Morris Minor TravellerReg. no. 957 UXBChassis no. MAW.5D.118783O.M.Engine no. 10.MAUH.264463The launch of the much-improved Series II Minor in 1952 also saw the introduction of perhaps the most famous of all the Minor’s variants, the Traveller estate. Its most immediately obvious feature was the wooden frame of the rear section; this is not just for decoration and forms the main structure of the rear of the car. In this regard, the Minor Traveller was one of the last cars to use this once-common method for building an estate body. A practical car that could seat four comfortably, and swallow a large amount of luggage, particularly with the rear seats folded down, it was the perfect vehicle for many families in the 1950s and 60s. Improved again in 1956 with the launch of the 1000, with the larger 948cc A-Series engine, the Minor was now a spritely performer for a car in its class, the increased power complementing the excellent handling it had had from the start. In 1962, the engine size was increased to 1098cc, and this would power the car until the end of production in 1971.This 1961 Traveller would have originally been a 948cc model but has been upgraded at some point with a 1098 engine – not an uncommon conversion, and one that enables a Minor to still keep pace with modern traffic. This car was bought by the vendor in 2013 at a classic car event, after he was attracted by its pretty appearance and good all-round condition. It remains in generally good condition, and has seen regular use in the current ownership, attending classic events in Wales and Ireland, often alongside the owner’s MGs, the Traveller’s practicality allowing more family members to join in the fun. This attractive example of an iconic British classic will require attention to the brakes and will need to be fully recommissioned following a period of storage. It is offered with a V5C.Estimate: £3,000 – 4,000
1975 MG B GT Jubilee Special AnniversaryReg. no. HCC 869NChassis no. GHD5 – 377572GEngine no. 3404Development of the MGB started in the late 1950s, as MG looked to steal a jump on their main rivals Triumph. The resulting car was rather advanced in its construction when launched in 1962, utilizing a unitary structure instead of the traditional body-on-frame construction used on both its predecessor the MG A and the Triumph TR series. However, components such as brakes and suspension were developed from those of the MG A, while the B-Series engine was also already in use in the wider BMC stable. The lightweight design and parts interchangeability meant it was cheap to produce, and therefore affordable, and it captured a large segment of the British sports car market. In 1965, the ‘GT’ coupe version was launched, sporting a ground-breaking design by Pininfarina that has been viewed in some ways as a predecessor of the later, all-conquering hatchback form of car. The angle of the rear opening meant the car had much more luggage space than the roadster, while also being a genuine four-seater. B GTs were naturally slightly heavier than the roadsters, but actually had a higher top speed due to the improved aerodynamic shape.This 1975 B GT is a rare ‘Jubilee’ special edition, with the striking colour scheme distinctive to that model. 751 of this model were built for 1975, with around 200 thought to survive. The vendor purchased this car in March 2005, with the bodywork having been comprehensively restored by the previous owner. Used regularly up until around 2012, it was then put into storage as the owner became more active with the MGA and TD also in his collection. A new clutch was fitted prior to storage; however, the hydraulic system will need bleeding and the clutch setting up before use. Otherwise, the car is in decent all-round condition for its age. The 1.8 litre B-Series engine is in running order, but full recommissioning is advised. This car should prove an enjoyable vehicle once returned to the road. It comes with documentation regarding the previous owner’s restoration. There is a V5C in the file plus sundry other books on the model and bills.Estimate: £4,000 – 6,000
1929 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Supercharged Super Sport Spider by ZagatoReg. no. JYH 98Chassis no. 0312931For 1929, as a natural development, the 1750 6C replaced the 1500; the increase in displacement brought an increase in power, with upwards of 75mph within reach for most versions. The most potent of the 1929 models was the ‘Super Sport Compressore’ – of which JYH 98 is an example. These cars were supercharged – ‘compressore’ being the Italian for supercharger – and with their lightweight construction, 85bhp output, and sporty bodies, were good for 90mph. Indeed, such was the success of the new model that in that year’s Mille Miglia, six of the top ten finishers were 6Cs, the race being won by Giuseppe Campari and Giulio Ramponi in a 1750 Super Sport. Other notable victories followed, with the 24 Hours of Spa Francorchamps, the 12 Hours of San Sebastian and Grand Prix of Ireland all being conquered in 1929, while the RAC Tourist Trophy and another Spa success followed in 1930. The Super Sport evolved into the Gran Sport in 1930, claiming yet more famous victories – none more famous perhaps than Tazio Nuvolari’s win in that year’s Mille Miglia, where he drove for many miles in the dark with the headlights off, following his teammate Achille Varzi. Near the end, he turned them on and caught Varzi completely by surprise, and swept past to claim victory – just one of the many great motor racing tales involving Alfa 6Cs.As mentioned above, JYH 98 is from the first-year of 1750 production, and with its Zagato body and Super Sport Compressore specification, is the most sporting and desirable 6C offered that year. The car’s early history is mostly unknown; the old logbook in the file lists its first registration in the UK as the 16th of June 1948, and the importer is noted separately as Chipstead Motors of London. It is from this point that the car’s story is well-documented. The first owner was John Pitcher of Wrangle in Lincolnshire; there is a letter on file where he states that he purchased the car from Reg Parnell of Derby. Between 1951 and 1957, the car passed through the hands of no fewer than eight owners.In May 1961, the car finally found a long-term home, when it was acquired by the late Michael Hirst, from whose estate the car is now offered. When Mr Hirst acquired the car, it was fitted with a Ford V8 – the simple, mass-produced side-valve V8 quite a contrast to the exquisite, double-overhead-cam unit with which it left the factory! Correspondence reveals that the original engine suffered an unfortunate and terminal blow-up in the early 1950s. When sold in 1951 by Chiltern Cars to Mr R J Hedges of Spaxton, Somerset, the 1750 engine was still in place; two years later, however, when sold to S.A Hurrell, again from Chiltern Cars, the engine was gone. The ex-War Department Ford V8 was duly fitted, before the car was sold on again to Delta Garages of Leighton Buzzard in 1955.As can be imagined, Mr Hirst had quite a task on his hands to return his new purchase to something approaching original form. Work proceeded rapidly however; a replacement engine was sourced – engine number 121215071, a 1933 1750 SS unit – and this was duly rebuilt. By summer 1964, the car was ready for a drive to Italy to visit the Alfa Romeo factory in Milan. There, it was inspected by Alfa staff, and it was positively identified as a 3rd Series 1750 SS of 1929, chassis number 0312931, and still wearing its original Zagato body. There is a letter on file from Alfa Romeo concerning this, dated 17th September 1964. Mr Hirst replied on 25th September, pointing out that 0332931, not 0312931, is stamped on the front dumb-iron; on 3rd October, Alfa Romeo replied, confirming their original identification of 0312931 – stating with confidence that the 3 was either a simple factory error or a later modification. Another example of the extensive correspondence with Alfa Romeo concerns the cylinder block; Mr Hirst reported that, on the long drive back from Milan, it overheated on the famous St Bernard Pass and cracked, and inquired about making one in steel with cast-iron liners. Alfa duly sent him a drawing of the cylinder block, for reference should he wish to make a replacement.Correspondence also reveals a tantalizing trace of possible competition history. When it was suggested that perhaps this car had been driven at Brooklands in 1929 by that year’s joint Mille Miglia winner Giulio Ramponi, Alfa got in contact with his engineer from that time, Mr Perfetti. He confirmed that he probably tested the car in 1929, as this was his task, but that it was unclear whether the car was the one Ramponi raced at Brooklands.During the many years that Mr Hirst owned and enjoyed the car, he and his wife Jo were stalwarts of what was then the Alfa Romeo Section of the VSCC, attending many events both in the UK and abroad. As proprietor of Frenchay Garage, Mr Hirst was well-placed both to keep his own car in excellent running condition, and to support others. Little used in recent years due to ill health and Mr Hirst’s subsequent passing, the car does however remain in a very good state, as befits a much-loved car from long-term enthusiast ownership.The car is now offered as an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a 1750 SS 6C, still with its original Zagato body, that has not changed hands for sixty years. It comes with excellent provenance, with the chassis and body confirmed by Alfa Romeo as original, and the engine identified as a proper 1750 SS unit that has now been in the car for the majority of its life. The history file contains the correspondence mentioned above, plus several old logbooks and MOTs, and a large quantity of photographs taken over the course of the Hirsts’ long ownership.
1914 Chater-Lea 10hp two seat tourerReg. no. LN 6411Chassis no. 302Engine no. 11215The Chater Lea company was formed in 1890 by William Chater Lea, who had served his apprenticeship with leading bicycle manufacturers Linley and Biggs. Setting out to found his own company, Chater Lea’s products soon became well-regarded as being of the highest quality. In addition to whole bicycles, the company also sold all parts one could need to build a bicycle, and hence Chater Lea parts found their way into many one-off custom bicycles. This business continued to be a successful endeavour for the company well into the 1960s. As with many bicycle manufacturers, motorcycle production was an obvious step to take, and the first Chater Lea motorcycle was produced in 1903. The first car followed in 1907, an air-cooled V-twin cyclecar. As the company grew, it required a new factory, and in 1911, a fine new five-storey premises was opened in Banner Street, EC1, in the City of London. From a modern perspective, it seems amazing that there was car and motorcycle production right in the financial centre of London – how times have changed! In 1913, a more serious range of cars was launched in the form of the 8hp and 10hp. There were both light cars, but certainly more ‘car-like’ than the cyclecars that had preceded them, with water-cooled 4-cylinder engines, shaft drive and three-speed gearboxes. Car production ended in 1922, with only a few hundred cars made. Only a handful of cars are known to survive.This 1914 example is the 10hp model. As with their motorcycles, Chater Lea used proprietary engines for their cars, and this car uses the 10hp Singer engine. An excellent choice by Chater Lea, as the 10hp Singer was one of the most widely praised of the pre-Great War light cars, being commended for its willing performance. Indeed, the 10hp Singer was chosen in 1913 by Lionel Martin, of Aston Martin fame, for special tuning, and Martin’s example proved highly successful at Brooklands. This car, then, should prove a sprightly performer. Purchased by the vendor in around 1984, it was stripped back to the chassis in 1985 and restored. The engine was rebuilt with new pistons, with machining and re-metalling carried out by Morris of Lilbourne. The car was also repainted at this time, following a cosmetic restoration in the 70s. The car has, however, not been driven on the public road since the restoration, it is now mellowed and patinated, and will need some recommissioning. The engine is free but has not been run for many years. Sure to be a delightful Edwardian light car when up and running again, this extremely rare car comes with various bills, correspondence, magazine articles, a VCC dating certificate and VSCC eligibility form, plus a V5C.Estimate: £8,000 – 12,000
1927 Rolls-Royce Phantom I TourerReg. no. MP 1149Chassis no. 7UFEngine no. YD85Rolls-Royce finally launched its new 40/50hp model in 1925, after the Silver Ghost had been in production for some 19 years. While the Silver Ghost was never actually so named during its production life, just being referred to as the 40/50hp, the new car was given a suitably evocative name from the start – the New Phantom. Despite the ‘New’ part of the name, there was actually a considerable similarity to the Silver Ghost – the Phantom rode on a very similar chassis. The engine, however, was new - enlarged, and with the notable improvement of pushrod-operated overhead valves in place of the Ghost’s side-valve arrangement. Displacing just under 7.7 litres, the new engine offered a welcome improvement in performance while maintaining the same standard of smoothness and flexibility that had been the Ghost’s hallmark. The engine’s prodigious torque was transmitted through a four-speed gearbox, with rarely any need to drop down from top gear once on the move. Available in two wheelbases – 143 ½ inch and 150 ½ inch – the Phantom was a large, imposing car, no matter what coachwork the purchaser chose to be built upon the chassis. A heavy car due to its sheer size and high quality, excellent brakes were a necessity, and the car came as standard with the servo-assisted four-wheel brakes that had been optional on late Ghosts – a system that was, ironically, used under license from Rolls-Royce’s great rival in the realm of luxury cars, Hispano-Suiza. Like the Silver Ghost had been, the Phantom was also built in Springfield, Massachusetts, with the US-built cars differing in several ways from the UK cars, not least in their left-hand-drive configuration. By the end of production in 1931, 3512 had been made, 2269 in Derby and 1240 in Springfield.This 1927 Phantom was supplied new to Prices Patent Candle Co. of Battersea, fitted with a landaulette body by Park Ward. The original build sheet is available to confirm this, together with maintenance records from the early 1930s. It is thought the car was probably laid up during the war, and from this point until the trail of bills resume in 1980, its history is unknown. It is thought that the replacement body, in the style of Hooper, was fitted by Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialist Tony Robinson in the 1970s. Bills from 1980 to 1994 show an expenditure of over £10,000 in restoration and recommissioning. The previous owner acquired the car in 1997 and spent a further £15,000 over two years, mostly on mechanical restoration by Coldwell Engineering. A new hood, new tonneau cover and new side screens were also fitted. Purchased by the vendor in 1999, it then saw light use for days out and shows. In storage and undriven since 2014, at which point it was in good running order, it now requires a degree of recommissioning; the clutch is currently seized, as is the starter clutch and the Autovac valve. Certain to be a most rewarding car when returned to the road, the Phantom comes with the documents and bills mentioned previously, plus an original handbook, some old MOTs and a current V5C.Estimate: £25,000 – 35,000
1928 Austin 7 ChummyReg. no. BF 9395Chassis no. 58468A6821Engine no. M58811By 1928 Austin’s Seven was going from strength to strength, with improvements made to the Chummy body in 1926 resulting in a more spacious car, while later the same year the brakes were enlarged to 7 inches for greater stopping power. These changes would last until the AE model was introduced in 1929, and in these years the Seven sold extremely well, helping Britain get mobile more than any other car had up to that point.This 1928 car has been restored over the course of many years and is now in very good all-round condition. It benefits from a reconditioned dynamo and magneto, and the flexible driveshaft coupling has been replaced by a Hardy-Spicer coupling. The 747cc engine and 3-speed gearbox are in good order, and this car should provide enjoyable motoring. It comes with some bills and a V5C.Estimate: £12,000 – 13,000
1926 Ford Model TReg. no. BF 9500Chassis no. UnknownEngine no. 13873755From 1909 to 1927, the Ford Motor Company built more than 15 million Model T cars. The most popular body styles were two and five-seater open touring cars; however, a very wide variety of bodies were available over the years including closed cars, vans and one tonne truck versions. Driving a Model T is easy; if you've never driven a conventional car. The accelerator is controlled by hand using a lever under the steering wheel. Forward gears are selected using the left of the three pedals, reverse by using the centre pedal and braking is achieved using the right pedal. This ‘T’ was imported from Iowa, USA as part of a collection in 2020, and some light recommissioning work has been carried out, but we understand from our vendor that it is yet to fulfil its potential on the road. It is offered with a V5C.Estimate: £8,000 – 9,000
1965 Volkswagen ‘Split Screen’ Deluxe ’21 Window’ Microbus – one family ownerReg. no. DYB 907CChassis no. 245113036Engine no. UnknownThe Volkswagen Type 2 was introduced in 1950 as a multi-variant utility vehicle, known as the Transporter, Kombi or Microbus (depending on body type), and was devised as an evolution of the Volkswagen Type 1, the original Beetle. The first generation of these versatile vehicles (named the T1) was produced with distinctive split-screens from 1950 until 1967. Only two models were originally offered, the Kombi and the Commercial, the Microbus was added in May 1950, and was joined by the Deluxe Microbus in June 1951. The Deluxe Microbus (known as the ‘Sunroof Deluxe' in America) was the most luxurious version of the Volkswagen Transporter T1. The Deluxe model featured eight rear side windows and two rear corner windows, making it the '15-window' but was not available in Europe. Meanwhile, the European-market Deluxe Microbus, with its additional eight small skylight windows is, accordingly, the '23-window'. From the 1964 model year with its wider rear door, the rear corner windows were discontinued, making the latter two, the 13-window and 21-window respectively.DYB 907C has been cherished all of its life by its original owners and regularly MOT’d by a local garage. Having spoken with the garage owner it is clear that the mileage between MOTs was very low and each year, any work that was required to gain a new MOT, was carried out. There are copies in the file of MOT certificates, and copies of a few bills. In addition, there is a V5C, two service booklets from the 1970s, and the original service booklet from new. Delivered to us in running condition, we understand that there is a slight exhaust blow and a historical gearbox oil leak that will require investigation. By repute, this camper received a replacement engine at about 100,000 miles, but otherwise it appears in very original condition, even down to the fold-down gas stove and removeable table - features often lost.
1967 MGB RoadsterReg. no. HUM 738EChassis no. GHN3102895Engine no. 18GBUH56834This MGB has a rebuilt engine by Oselli, to 1860cc specification. The body is described by our vendor as very good, and the paint excellent, following a complete body rebuild with new panels and wings as required. During the restoration, any necessary welding was carried out by a professional welder. The original windscreen was refurbished, the front crossmember was overhauled with all new parts and the rear axle rebuilt as required. There is an all new braking system front and back and all steering components have been overhauled and renewed as required. New carpets and trim plus the re-chroming of the brightwork, finish this car splendidly. It is offered with a V5C.

2005 Bentley Continental GT CoupéRegistration no. MX05 JROChassis no. SCBCE63W55C028676Odometer Reading: 61,649MoT Expiry: 8 March 2022*Beautiful Cypress Mica Green Continental GT*Full service history*A well-presented exampleThe Bentley Continental GT launched in 2003 as one of the most impressive Bentleys ever produced – and received widespread critical acclaim. Powered by a then all-new 6.0 Twin-Turbo W12 engine, the car produced a mighty 560bhp and 479lbft of torque that propelled the 2.5 ton car to 60mph in 4.8 seconds. The car was also the first car to be developed under the company's new Volkswagen Group ownership, and marked a new era for the marque. Not only that, but the car was also the first luxury car to be produced by Bentley for the mass market. Today, Continental GT's represent excellent value and still look just as good today as they did when they were first launched in 2003. This 2005 example, originally supplied new to Bentley Knutsford of Manchester, is presented in a stunning colour combination of Cypress Mica Green metallic with a beige leather interior. The interior is also finished with a Cypress green leather trimmed dashboard (to match the exterior), and walnut wood veneers. The bodywork and interior present very well, and the car comes with a full service history. The W12 engine also runs very smoothly and performs well and as it should. The mileage is also relatively low for a Continental, having completed only 62,000 miles. Overall this is a lovely example and offers great potential as a usable future classic.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 82/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

WDB1240422C267096Odometer reading: 83,800MoT expiry date: TBC*Only two owners from new*Comprehensive service history*Highly originalThe introduction of the 200E and 220E models in 1992 made the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (E='Executive') W124 bodyshell available with the smaller, more economical engines of 'Compact' C-Class. These new engines featured twin overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder, and variable inlet timing, and Mercedes claimed that their more efficient combustion both improved fuel economy and reduced emissions. In October 1993 there was a change of name for the E-Class models, the 'E' becoming a prefix rather than a suffix. At the same time the cars were mildly face-lifted, the most obvious change being a frame-less grille recessed into the bonnet panel. In this form the W124 saloon lasted only two years, being replaced in mid-1995 by the W120.Finished in Brilliant Silver with a full Orion Grey leather interior , this E220 coupe has the 2.2-litre four-cylinder engine producing 150bhp, which is good enough for a top speed of around 130mph. The car has had only two owners from new, with the current owner having purchased the car in 1998 and comes with comprehensive service history. It retains its original interior. The Mercedes comes with its service book; numerous maintenance bills; an original Mercedes-Benz handbook/owner's manual; and a V5C Registration Certificate.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 89/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

Styled and built by Bertone, the Ritmo (known as the Strada in the UK) was released at a time when small European hatchbacks were becoming increasingly popular, and the styling certainly helped it to stand out from the crowd. The cabriolet models in particular were distinctive, and are now increasingly rare. This low mileage Italian example is a third series car, and is offered in very good condition. There is little history with the car, but the bodywork, paintwork and interior are all in good condition, and the electrics all work as they should (as does the folding roof). The car runs are drives nicely, although it has not been used in the last 2 years by the vendor, so the car will need recommissioning before being put to active use. The car is currently a part of a private collection, and is a rare survivor – perfect for use as a fun summer runabout.

Today, Continental GT's represent excellent value and still look just as good today as they did when they were first launched in 2003. This 2005 example, originally supplied new to Bentley Knutsford of Manchester, presented in Cypress Mica Green metallic with a rare Mulliner beige leather interior. The bodywork presents very well, the interior nicely patinated and the car comes with a full service history. Much works have been carried out in recent years including a £5,500 service to replace the brakes and suspension in 2018; also a new rear air spring last year. Serviced in March 2021 the W12 engine runs very smoothly and performs well as it should. Overall this is a nicely presented example from enthusiast ownership and offers great potential as a usable future classic.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 79/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1999 Porsche 996C4 Millennium EditionRegistration no. V981 EWPChassis no. WP0ZZZ99ZYS601793Odometer reading: 85,314MOT Expiry: 12/10/21*Very rare Millennium Edition 996*Reportedly only 3 RHD UK cars*Full service historyProduced between 1996 and 2004, the Porsche 996 debuted the first all-new platform in a 911 for 34 years – and was the first water-cooled edition of the car. At the time of its development, Porsche was facing financial difficulty and faced significant pressure for the 996 to be a success. Thankfully this proved to be the case, and the 996 is known to be one of the best driving 911s with a 45% stiffer chassis and a 50kg weight saving over the 993. The 996 was designed by Pinky Lai for the next Millennium – and this example embodies that design ethos. Launched in December 1999, the 996 'Millennium Edition' is exceptionally rare, and it's reported that there are only three RHD examples in the UK. The car features a unique 'Violet Chromafair' colour scheme, which reportedly changes colour between black, green and purple in differing light. The car also featured 18' chromed Turbo Twist alloy wheels and a full tan interior with wood accents. This example has a set of 997 style alloy wheels fitted, however a set of Turbo Twist alloy wheels could easily be refurbished and chromed for a more original look if desired. Overall, the car is in a very good condition and runs and drives well with a factory fitted replacement engine installed 20,000 miles ago. The bodywork, paintwork and interior all present well. The car has only 85,341 miles and is equipped with the fabulous 6-speed manual gearbox. A unique opportunity to acquire a rare limited edition Porsche 996.

Production of the 2CV 'ripple' van spanned three decades from 1951 to 1977 and was the first ever delivery van with front-wheel drive. In total over 1.2 million 2CV vans were produced however today very few of those remain. This 1963 model is an older restored example that is believed to originate from Belgium as a post office van. The date of restoration is unknown (believed to be in the early 2000s), but the vehicle is still in a very good and useable condition. The light green paintwork with grey cloth interior presents very well and suit the car. The vendor purchased the vehicle in July 2017, and has many receipts included on file. The van also features the addition of a reversing camera, adding an element of usability. The more powerful 602cc engine (which is a later unit) is running and driving as it should, and could be used as a commercial tool or collectors' item. The brakes were also renewed in 2015. The vehicle is ready to be used and enjoyed by a new owner.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 79/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1959 Land Rover Series II Registration no. 494 HKJChassis no. 141000108Odometer reading: 21,658MOT Expiry: N/A*In current family ownership since 1962*Exceptionally low mileage *Great potential on offerThis Land Rover Series II offers the rare opportunity of purchasing a family owned vehicle of 59 years . Officially unveiled in 1958, the Land Rover Series II was the first land Rover to be officially 'styled' by a design team headed by David Bache. This included adding a more rounded design, adding features that are recognisable even on a modern day Defender. The Series II also offered mechanical improvements over its predecessor, such as wider axels and a new 2286 four-cylinder petrol engine. This example, purchased by the vendors father in 1962, has been used sparingly through its life and has covered only 21,658 miles. The vehicle is in good condition, however will require further attention. The exterior body is solid but has acquired various dings and scratches over its lifetime, including a large dent on the front wing. The interior is also of a typical working Land Rover condition and could require further attention if desired. The roof of the car also has a large rip on the left hand side. Considering its one owner history the car comes with an excellent history file, but will require further attention mechanically. There is certainly great potential on offer here.Please click the link to view the walkaround video of this lot: click hereFootnotes:To view a video of this lot please click hereVendor Score Total: 70/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1953 Bentley R-Type SaloonRegistration no. UNV 940Chassis no. B484SR*Bentley R Type Saloon*Good history*Low mileage of only 43,000 milesThe Bentley R Type saloon is known for being one of the first super saloons ever produced. The car featured a torquey 4.5 litre 6-cylinder engine coupled with a 4 speed manual gearbox, and even today the car's performance is impressive considering it's nearly 70 years old.This example has only had a handful of owners in the last 34 years, and comes with a full record of all works carried out in this time, (which are so comprehensive that a trunk has to accommodate them), during which the car has only completed 36,000 miles. The works include a complete engine, clutch & radiator core rebuild by Hillier Hill Ltd (only 22,000 miles ago). A further mechanical and interior restoration was also carried out between 2007-2009 with a photographic record. A complete suspension and braking system overhaul has also been completed, with the car now featuring a continental high ratio rear axle for improved comfort. The interior has been previously stripped out, including veneers, carpets and the bulkhead – and the leather has been restored. There is also a record of works undertaken by the previous owner, including routine servicing, a head gasket replacement, an original radio upgrade and a full set of new tyres. The original semaphore indicators still work, and for further safety modern indicators have been placed underneath the bumpers both front and back.Hot or cold, the car runs smoothly and tours on motorways comfortably with the high ratio axle installed. The suspension is also very compliant and the brakes work as they should.The paintwork has been changed over the years, for the original factory build records suggest that the car was was Masons Black with Tan interior originally. The current colour scheme is Tudor over Shell Grey with grey hides – with the records showing that this change was carried out prior to the 1980s. The paintwork is in very good condition bar a small ding on the rear bumper by the over rider. Overall, the car presents beautifully and harks back to a time gone by.

1971 Aston Martin DBS V8 Registration no. HPL 393KChassis no. DBSV810169ROdometer reading: N/AMOT Expiry: N/A*Aston Martin DBS V8*Sold for restoration*Current ownership since 1990Prior to the discontinuation of the iconic DB6 in 1971, Aston Martin were looking to replace the car with a much more modern and muscular looking vehicle. The result was the beautiful DBS V8 that included a completely new four headlight design and square off grille. At launch, the V8 featured significant mechanical improvements over its DB6 predecessor too, including a new V8 designed by Tadek Marek. The car offered tremendous levels of performance with 'excellent road manners, supreme stability and unmatched braking,' which was declared by Autocar. A mere 405 DBS V8s had been built before the model was superseded by the re-styled 'Aston Martin V8' in late 1972. Continuing Aston Martin's famed '007' connection, the DBS was driven by George Lazenby as James Bond in the 1969 film, 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'. First registered new in 1971, this example was inherited by the vendor from his father in 2003. The car has been in dry storage since 1992, and was recently discovered by Bonhams specialists. The DBS V8 is offered for complete restoration. There is various correspondence on file from the previous keeper of Northwood, Middlesex. This includes servicing and repairs carried out by Aston Martin Works throughout the late 1970s. Various old MOTs are also on file, including from 1976, 1977, 1991 and 1992 – when then car was last on the road. A rewarding and rare project opportunity.

1930 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Skiff TourerRegistration no. SV 5917Chassis no. GSR1Odometer Reading: TBAMoT Expiry: Exempt*Unique 1930s Rolls-Royce*Unused for the last 20 years – but recently serviced*Offered from a private collectionDebuting at the Olympia Motor Show in 1929, the Rolls-Royce 20/25 proved to be one of the most successful inter-war Rolls-Royces ever produced. The car was so successful that it is often praised as the car that saved the company from bankruptcy following the Great Depression, with 3,827 being made. Of those cars, 93% of those were sold in the UK – and now only approximately 38% of those remain, with many being exported across the globe. Originally developed with performance and power in mind, the 20/25 featured an increased bore size of 3¼', resulting in a larger capacity from 3,128cc to 3,667cc. This minor but effective changed helped increase the RAC horsepower rating to 24½hp, up from 20hp in the Twenty. The 20/25 was originally designed for owner drivers, however the car was mostly purchased by owners with chauffeurs – who then fitted large custom built limousine bodies. This 1930 example is presented in a beautiful colour scheme of green with black wings and a red leather interior. The car has previously been restored however the date is unknown. Overall the car is in good condition and has been a part of a private collection since the vendor purchased the car in the late 1990s. Used by the previous owner on many international rallies in South Africa, India and many others. Despite this, the car has not been used for the last 20 years and has been kept in dry storage. The engine has been recently serviced and is now running well. The skiff two plus two coachwork is traditionally built with an ash frame clad in aluminium which remains in good condition, weather equipment includes a hood and sidescreens. Overall this is a good useable example with potential to improve if desired.

1914 Simplex LaFrance SpeedsterRegistration no. SV 8056Chassis no. 569Odometer Reading: TBAMoT Expiry: Exempt*Unique LaFrance Speedster*9,500cc engine*Rebuilt in 1996Originally known as a manufacturer of fire engines and commercial vehicles, American LaFrance can trace its roots all the wat back to 1871. Upon its founding, the company originally focused on iron working, however the business then diverged and started building rotary steam engines. In 1903, the company then diverged even further and built approximately 25 chain drive cars with tube coil radiators mounted below the front of the frame. In 1909, the company then purchased and shipped Simplex chain-driven rolling chassis to their new factory in Elmira, New York, where new bodies were fitted and badged as a LaFrance. Presented here is a 1917 Simplex LaFrance Speedster that has been rebuilt in 1996. The standard of the build is high, and the car offers a truly unique open-top driving experience. Power comes from LaFrance's large four-cylinder 9½-litre engine that's paired to a 3-speed manual gearbox. The car also features 24' wooden wheels that are shod with Michelin tyres. The car also uses a modern electric starter motor. The Speedster's chassis was professionally shortened and narrowed resulting in an imposing and highly effective Edwardian special. The bodywork, interior, running gear and electrics all present well, and the car also comes with a good history file. The engine starts and runs very well.

1935 Bentley 3 ½ Litre Saloon project carCoachwork by Park WardRegistration no. CMF 433Chassis no. B163DKOdometer reading: N/AMOT Expiry: N/A*Bentley 3 ½ Litre Saloon project car*Extensive history file*Solid bodywork*Original interiorThe Bentley 3½-litre was the first new Bentley to be produced following the acquisition of the company by Rolls-Royce in 1931. The car gets its name from the 3½-litre straight-six that was co-developed for the Rolls-Royce 20/25. Only 1,177 3½-litres were built in total, with approximately half of the cars being coach built by Park Ward – as is this example. Supplied new via Aston Martin Works Feltham to John Meeson of Hertfordshire, this 1935 Bentley 3½-litre Saloon presents itself as a unique project opportunity. Purchased by the sadly now deceased vendor in 1969, the car has a plethora of history including bills for its continued maintenance and use throughout the 1970s, chassis copy cards, buff logbook, current V5C, and Bentley handbook. The history of the car is well documented however the ownership between Meeson and the vendor's family is unknown. The car also comes with various technical articles relating to Bentley.

1935 MG L1 'K3 Special' Two-SeaterRegistration no. ARH 701Chassis no. L0432Odometer reading: N/AMOT Expiry: N/A*MG L1 K3 project car*Dry stored in a barn since 1978*Extensive history fileReplacing the MG F-Type, the MG L-Type was launched in 1933 and is seen as one of the best pre-war MGs. The K3 edition of the L1 was effectively the racing variant, and featured the same 1,087cc straight-six engine as the standard car, but with the addition of a supercharger. Early cars initially used a Powerplus supercharger, however in later cars this was replaced by a Marshall unit. This 1933 two-seater car was previously restored by an enthusiast between March 1960 and July 1965, however the car has been in storage since 1978. The car comes with an extensive history file, and is offered with a current V5C, quantity of expired MOTs from the 1960s and 70s, buff logbook, MG instruction manual, and a parts list. Photographs are also included in the history file, including images of the late vendor competing at Silverstone. The car is registered with the MMM Register.The car is fitted with a Marshall supercharger, a 4-speed manual crash box, and 13' Electron drum brakes. Sadly the engine currently does not run, as when climbing the Prescott Hill Climb in 1978, the engine ran a big end bearing. The car has been stored in a barn ever since. An excellent example that presents a stunning opportunity to rebuild a highly effective, supercharged, two-seat, pre-war motorcar.

1960 Jaguar XK150 S 3.8-Litre Drophead ProjectRegistration no. NRN 6 Chassis no. T827488DNOdometer reading: N/AMOT Expiry: N/A*Incredible XK150 project car*Single ownership since 1969*Extensive historyLaunched in 1957, the Jaguar XK150 was the third and final iteration of the XK series, following on from the XK120 and XK140. Available as both a fixed-head coupe or a drophead coupe, the XK150 featured updated styling and various mechanical improvements, including four-wheel disc brakes. The car was originally launched with a 210bhp 3.4-litre straight-six, however in 1959 Jaguar introduced the more powerful 3.8-litre engine that produced an output of 220bhp in standard format, and 265bhp in the S. In Drophead S configuration, the car had a 0-60 time of 7.3 seconds and a top speed of 133mph – incredible statistics even by today's standards.Supplied new by Ashton Preston Garages Ltd to the Preston Mattress Company Ltd, this 1935 Jaguar XK150S 3.8 S Drophead Coupé presents itself as a rare opportunity. First registered on 1 January 1960, the car has a limited history file and went through two owners before being purchased by the deceased vendor in 1969. The history includes a V5C, buff logbook and a quantity of expired MOTs.Sadly the car has seen much better days, and was spun off the road on a wet day in September 1996. The vendor, who was driving the car, unfortunately lost control and ended up crashing head on into a tree. He remarkably walked away, however the car has remained garage-stored ever since. Considering the date of the crash and being kept in dry storage, the car is still in a salvageable condition, and offers enormous potential as a rewarding project car.

1934 Talbot Lago T120 Baby ProjectRegistration no. 842 YUEChassis no. 85172Odometer Reading: N/AMot Expiry: ExemptOwned and campaigned by Karl Ludvigsen*Largely complete set of spares*Extensive historyOn the dissolution of the Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq combine in 1935, automobile engineer Major AF 'Tony' Lago bought the Darracq factory at Suresnes and continued production, selling his cars as Darracqs in the UK and Talbots in France. The revitalized marque embraced both sports car and Grand Prix racing, and in 1937 achieved victories in the French Grand Prix and the Tourist Trophy; from then onwards it was an uphill struggle against the state-subsidized might of the German and Italian opposition. There were, however, many notable successes in the immediate post-war years, including three Grand Prix wins for French Champion Louis Rosier.This T120 has a fascinating history and is a truly exciting project to be returned to the road, the car was restored in France before returning to England, unfortunately the car was damaged when competing in a rally in Wales. The car has since been repaired accordingly and is ready to be restored to its former glory. Fitted with the lovely 3-litre engine coupled with a Wilson pre-selector gearbox, this T120 would provide an engaging and speedy driving experience. The car is accompanied with bills through the 80s, 90s and 2000s and a V5 document.Please click the link to view the walkaround video of this lot: click hereFootnotes:Vendor Score Total: 20/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1953 Rolls-Royce Silver WraithRegistration no. TGK 293Chassis no. WVH63Odometer Reading: TBAMoT Expiry: Exempt*Low mileage Wraith*Restored in the late 1990s*Part of a private collection*Sold for recommissioningThe introduction of the Rolls-Royce Wraith marked the first new Rolls-Royce to be announced following the end of WWII. The car proved to be a success, and spanned a 13-year production from 1946 to 1959. The Wraith was in fact the last model to be offered solely in chassis form from the factory – marking the end of an era of coach built Rolls-Royces with the likes of bodies built by H.J. Mulliner, Park Ward, Hooper and James Young. This 1953 car is an older, restored example with the restoration believed to have taken place in the late 1990s. The car is also known to have been featured in the Enid Blyton film 'Enid' that stared Helena Bonham-Carter in 2009, with a documentation and pictures accompanying the car in the history file. Forming part of a private collection, the car has been well maintained by a collection mechanic until 2018, where it has since been unused. The car has a low mileage of 40,447 miles and features the 4.6-litre straight-six engine (fitted between 1951-1955) that is running and driving but will need some recommissioning prior to active use. The bodywork, paint and chrome are all in good condition, as are the electrics and running gear. Overall, the car is a lovely honest example that is in a good and solid condition.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 59/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1929 Willys Overland Whippet SixRegistration no. SV 9731Chassis no. TPC705Odometer Reading: TBAMoT Expiry: Exempt*Beautiful 1920s Whippet Six*Restored to a high standard completed in 2006*Used sparingly sinceOriginally known for designing and producing the famous Willys Jeep, Willys-Overland was also famous for producing an array of passenger cars. The Whippet Six, which was produced between 1926 – 1931, is now increasingly rare sight in the US (let alone in the UK). Manufactured in Toledo, Ohio, this 1929 example was originally exported to Argentina, and then imported to the UK in July 2003. The car was also thought to have stopped off in South Africa at some point in its life, after an array of South African paperwork and magazines were found under the seats during its restoration. The car has been in its current ownership since October 2003, where the vendor then undertook a full ground up restoration. During the restoration the car was stripped back to the chassis, featuring new flooring, springs, door frames and much more. Mechanically, the engine was re-bored and re-built, and the car received a new clutch and was also rewired. The bodywork was also the subject of a respray, and the structural timber was replaced where required. The car has been on the road ever since the restoration was completed in 2006, and has been used sparingly by the vendor for summer use. Interested parties should note the car is offered with the original hood frame together with the hood which would be suitable for use as a pattern. It will require a hood should it be used in less than fair weather.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 73/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1924 Renault NN BerlineRegistration no. DS 8895Chassis no. 162477Odometer reading: TBAMOT Expiry: Exempt*Recently restored Renault NN*Immaculate condition *Large history file*Restoration featured in The Automobile (October 2020)The NN was first presented at the 1924 Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris as the successor for Types KJ and MT. This little Renault is typical of the everyday motor car in France in the 1920s and 30s. Many NNs were used as taxis in towns and cities around the country: this model is believed to have originally served as a Paris Taxi. From 1904 until 1930 Renault favoured placing the radiator behind the engine using a flywheel with vanes to provide the cooling air. In this way they could provide a much smoother and pleasing outline to the bonnet. These early Renaults with 'coal scuttle' bonnets with twin radiators either side of the engine gave them a distinctive Art Deco appearance. Registered DS 8895 this car was imported from Belgium in 1989. Its first colour was yellow and the body unusually only has doors on the near side, very useful for a taxi as the passengers can only get out safely on the kerb side.The restoration was completed by Classic Cars of Bath between 2015 and 2017. The chassis was cleaned and painted, the springs were checked, cleaned and re-greased. The Hartford shock absorbers were rebuilt. The four-wheel brakes had new brake linings. The steering wheel was recovered. A new bulkhead was made together with a new petrol tank by Concept Racing. The body frame was rebuilt by Sowerby Ash Framing (keeping as much of the original wood as possible). A previous owner had painted the car white for a family wedding, and when the bodywork was repaired it was resprayed 'pistachio green', in keeping with the Art Deco style.The car was then driven to Pritchard's coach trimmers and the original front leather seats were repaired. The rear seats were covered in Bedford Cord. The window-pulls in leather (like a train carriage window) were refurbished. New headlining and carpets were also fitted.Michael Ware, The Automobile (October 2020), reported on the restoration for his final Back on the Road and was taken round the airfield at Bicester. The car has been used around Bath and Bristol and campaigned in the VSCC Light Car & Edwardian Section Welsh events in 2018 and 2019 – around the hills of Radnor Forest and Wye Valley. A quantity of spares including engines and axles supplied from a Renault Freres club member are available by separate negotiation. Although not required, the car passed the MOT test in 2019 (expired 2020). Included in the sale are various owners' and workshop manuals. A photographic record of the 2015-17 restoration is available.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 85/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1973 Aston Martin V8Registration no. 73 BUCChassis no. V811070RCAOdometer reading: N/AMOT Expiry: N/A*Barn find Aston Martin V8*Sold for restoration*Current ownership since 1984Prior to the discontinuation of the iconic DB6 in 1971, Aston Martin were looking to replace the car with a much more modern and muscular looking vehicle. Originally known as the DBS V8 at launch, the car was renamed to just 'V8' in 1973, with this car being one of the first to feature that nameplate. Visually, the V8 featured new styling including a twin headlight design over the previous four headlights, and a wire mesh grille. At launch, the V8 featured significant mechanical improvements over its DB6 predecessor too, including a new V8 designed by Tadek Marek, independent suspension, and a bigger, more luxurious interior. The V8 also performed incredibly well, with the fuel-injected twin cam engine reaching 100mph in just 15 seconds with the automatic transmission – figures that were unheard of at that time. This 1973 example was purchased in 1984 by its current owner and has been dry stored in a barn since the late 1980s. Discovered by Bonhams specialists this long term ownership V8 is offered for complete restoration. The car has 4 former keepers and was first registered new in November 1973. Offered with UK V5 registration, 73 BUC certainly represents a rare and unique opportunity.Please click the link to view the walkaround video of this lot: click hereFootnotes:Vendor Score Total: 20/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1972 Austin Van Den Plas Princess 1300 Mk3Registration no. EOX 333LChassis no. VA2S33253MOdometer reading: 52,678MOT Expiry: 26 April 2022 *Low mileage Princess*Desirable Vandan Plas*Restored 2019/20 The idea behind the Vandan Plas 1300 was to present a small, yet comfortable and luxurious car that would be idea for a downsize from a Jaguar or Rover. Inside, the car featured a plethora of features including leather seats, wood veneers, and front and rear picnic tables. Produced between 1963 and 1974, the car was marketed under multiple BMC brands including that of Austin, Riley, MG and Wolesley. The automatic transmission on the car was also impressive for a small car, featuring four speeds which was more than that of most larger cars at the time which only had three. The Princess was produced with the 1100cc engine from 1963 to 1974, with the 1300cc engine joining in 1968. This 1972 model is a 1300cc car that is presented in Harvest Gold with a Vanden Plas Olive green interior. The car has a low mileage of 52,768 miles, and has recently been restored.

1984 Mercedes-Benz W126 280SERegistration no. A680 TYVChassis no. 1260222A027017Odometer reading: 23,132MOT Expiry: 1 September 2021*Exceptional low mileage example*Large history file*Five new tyres Presented is this immaculate W126 280se Mercedes. Launched in December 1979 and spanning a 13 year production run, the W126 has one of the strongest production runs of any generation of S-Class. Supplied new by Bradshaw Webb of Chelsea in April 1984 in Lapis Blue over Blue Velour, this example has covered just 23,132 miles from new in the hands of its three caring owners (two the same person). The first keeper owned the car for some 23 years before the car was then sold to a private Mercedes collector. This is a wonderful, unmolested example with a host of extras – all in correct working order. There is a full service history with the car, and the documentation shows a service at 500 miles (PDI), 6,337 miles, 11,982 miles (main dealers) and again at 17,968 miles. The history file contains the original service book, various MOTs (1989 to 2005), tax discs, a copy of the first V5c, owner's manual and the original dealer wallet. Five new Dunlop tyres have also recently been fitted and the MOT is valid until September 2021. The W126 S-Class is becoming increasingly sought after, and is famous for its exceptional build quality and longevity. Finding a car with such a low mileage is rare, and this example would fit nicely into any private collection.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 99/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1949 Rover P3 75 SaloonRegistration no. 533 XUPChassis no. R8413393Odometer Reading: TBAMot Expiry: Exempt*Offered from long term custodian*Restored throughout current ownership*Starts and runs wellRover's range in the immediate post-war years was much the same as it had been in 1939, the first all-new Rover - the P4 - not appearing until the autumn of 1949. Before then an interim design - the P3 - combining the traditional styling of the existing P2 model with the engine, gearbox and running gear intended for its successor, filled the gap. Introduced in February 1948, the P3 featured 1.6-litre four-cylinder and 2.1-litre six-cylinder versions of Rover's new inlet-over-exhaust engine, the model designations being '60' and '75' respectively.This P3 starts promptly, soon settling into a quiet & smooth tick over as expected from a six cylinder block, with gears selected easily whilst manoeuvring. Restored over a period of some 30 years, this Rover is ready for its new owner to enjoy immediately. The car comes with photographs of restoration, relating invoices and a V5 document.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 83/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1953 Triumph MayflowerRegistration no. WFX 444Chassis no. 538395T31527DLOdometer reading: 73,325MOT Expiry: N/A*Well-presented Mayflower*Running restoration project*Invoices includedThe Triumph Mayflower was produced by Triumph between 1949 and 1953 largely for foreign markets. The idea behind the Mayflower was to produce a car that was luxurious but at an affordable price. The car was incredibly popular in Commonwealth countries such as Australia, New Zealand and Canada – but was a sales flop in the US market due to its smaller size. These are now rare vehicles, and this 1937 car is in good condition. Presented in black with blue leather interior, the car has only 73,325 miles from new. The exterior paintwork and bodywork are in an ok condition and could be further tidied up by a new owner if desired. There is moderate history included.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 58/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.
