B.S.A. B21 Registration Number: FTU 679 First Registered: 1938 Engine Size: 250cc Colour: Black and Silver Engine Number: KB 21701 Frame Number: KB 211093 V5C present Val Page, chief designer and engineer at B.S.A. designed a new range of bikes in the late 1930s, with the war fast approaching and fuel rationing on the cards page used just one engine design for his new range, split into the light B model and the heavier M range, both with much in common in their manner of construction. All had a vertical cylinder, gear-driven camshafts, rear magneto and dry sump lubrication. They were simple and robust, also affordable. Even though this model had a smaller 250cc side valve engine, the bike was still physically imposing with sporting looks and like all B.S.A. motorcycles of their day, incredibly well engineered. This example offered is an extremely original machine, with correct numbers and tin ware. The current owner has stated that at some time in its long history it has had been owned by a B.S.A. works rider. Mechanically the bike is said to be in good order with good compression and still sports a positive degree and patina. A nice prewar lightweight machine capable of keeping up with modern traffic, eligible for many of the vintage motorcycle events annually up and down the country. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Later restoration, paint ok with some micro blistering. Chrome good. Engine and gearbox casings tarnished but good. Dry stored for recommissioning.

^ Royal Enfield Bullet Registration Number: YJ51 NHF First Registered: 01-09-2001 Engine Size: 500cc Colour: Red Engine Number: 1B510755B Frame Number: ME3BBBDB41C010755 V5C present The Royal Enfield Bullet 500 follows the iconic, hand-crafted design of the original 1950s Bullet. The Enfield is synonymous with Indian motorcycle adventures and was the staple, affordable workhorse on the British roads pre 1970. The reintroduction of the Royal Enfield to the UK roads in the late 1980s, now made under licence by the indigenous Indian Madras Motors in Chennai, India. Royal Enfield can now boast the prize of being the oldest global manufacturing brand in continuous production! The introduction of a five-speed gearbox meant that Royal Enfield could 'fix' one of the long-standing quirks of the Bullet design-the foot-brake is on the left side while the gearshift is on the right. For those that wanted a classic style motorcycle with pedigree but were not interested in fixing old motorcycles on the side of the road, this was the perfect option. Basically, a brand new classic bike with no oil leaks, modern brakes, lighting and a smooth gear change. This 2001 Bullet is in fabulous condition, showing low miles. Clearly owned by an enthusiast, it is showing no signs of wear or corrosion, paintwork is excellent and mechanically as you would expect from a well cared for example. Ready to ride and enjoy. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Excellent all round condition, very good original paintwork. Chrome and casings good. Runs and selects gears well.

Triton Motorcycle Registration Number: BWE 98H First Registered: 20.10.1969 Engine Size: 650cc Colour: Black Engine Number: 6T04909 Frame Number: K1255094 V5C present The Triton is a very happy marriage of Triumph twin power and Norton road holding that is rightly regarded by enthusiasts as the quintessential British ''sports special'' almost to the point of it being defined as the stereotypical café racer. This well-known, universal hybrid first emerged in the 1950s yet continues to be built around the world today, enjoying almost marque status. The Norton Featherbed frame was regarded as the best handling item of the day, and the Triton rationale was to combine the ''best engine'' with the ''best frame'' by replacing the standard Norton engine with Triumph parallel twin engine. A popular engine choice was the Triumph Bonneville unit with twin carburettors and twin camshafts. This pushrod engine gave good performance and reliability and could be more easily tuned for greater power using high-profile camshafts, high compression pistons and twin carburettors. In due course, a Weslake 8-valve head became available for the Triumph motor. The Triton, synonymous with the Mods and Rockers era has been a continuous symbol of teenage rebellion and 60 years after its conception the Triton is still the most celebrated British twin special, making its way into period meets and cafe race weekends. Every example is unique depending on spares availability, tanks varied as did side panels and seats. This particular example is an extremely pleasing conglomeration of Norton Feather bed frame, Triumph 6T (Thunderbird unit) 650cc engine and slimline tank. On inspection this is very much an older build, dated 1969 on the V5 and with correct period fittings, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a proper Triton built at the time of the 'Rockers on Rockets'. A very well presented cafe racer without the clip on bars making riding a more relaxed experience. Unusually this machine has a genuine aluminium slimline tank and not the common fibreglass tank that many later Tritons were fitted with. Paintwork is extremely nice, chrome and stainless also presented well as are the engine casings and wheel rims, sitting on good tyres and period seat is in nice used condition. Mechanically there is no record of works completed but runs sweetly and changes up and down the gears extremely well. Tritons vary enormously depending on the owner's personal taste, this example is a very smart and well put together machine ready for the road with a tank of fresh fuel. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Older restoration, paintwork and chrome work good. Starts and runs well. Gears select smoothly. Registered Category C. (Damaged but repairable) no sign of damage.

1959 Triumph Speed Twin Registration Number: ORC 789 First registered: TBC Engine Size: 500cc Colour: Maroon Engine Number: 6TAH8588 Frame Number: H8588 V5C present The iconic Speed Twin 5T was developed and produced by Triumph at their Coventry, and later Meriden factories. Edward Turner, Triumph's Chief Designer and Managing Director, launched the Triumph Speed Twin at the 1937 National Motorcycle Show. It was a 500 cc OHV vertical twin in a lightweight frame and the first truly successful British parallel twin, setting the standard for many twins to follow. This 1959 model 5TA with a unit engine and gearbox construction and styling changes including the streamline 'Bathtub' fairing which became more and more abbreviated as the model developed but set a striking image amongst the modern motorcyclists of the late fifties and sixties. ORC 789 is an extremely original and correct machine which has had long term ownership by an elderly gentleman enthusiast, have the correct bathtub fairings, nacelle and period storage addition. With matching numbers and in mechanically excellent order this example is a very capable machine and has great investment potential. Triumph Twin prices are rising steadily every year as collectors favour more original bikes. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Older restoration to high standard, paintwork and chrome very good. Starts and runs well, matching numbers machine.

^ Scott Super Squirrel Registration Number: UA7497 First Registered: 01-03-1929 Engine Size: 596cc Colour: Black Engine Number: Y3421A Frame Number: 2738 V5C present The Scott Motorcycle company was founded in 1901 by Yorkshireman, Alfred Angas Scott. He built his first engine in 1901 and set the pattern for most Scotts from then on, for his twin cylinder two-stroke . He fitted it to his Premier bicycle in front of the head stock, from where it drove the from wheel by a belt. From then on Scott developed a twin cylinder two-stroke with a central flywheel, at that time in 1904, a might 333cc. The concept for his machines remained the same for many years sporting a two speed gearbox. Alfred Scott submitted several works machines in to the TT from as early as 1909 with one of his bikes and later setting the fastest lap in 1911. Scott went on to repeatedly set records and have multiple wins at the TT, with iconic works riders just as Frank Applebee and Tim Wood. After Scott's untimely death in 1923, the company went on to develop larger machines but based on the same mechanical concept. This wonderful bike offered is an example of such a machine. With its 596cc engine and light frame, the Scott Flying Squirrel Sports was an extremely competitive machine keeping up with the new breed of OHC bikes in their day. The Scott is a credit to its owner, sporting huge originality, correctness and mechanically appears to be in fine condition, with good compression. The paintwork is still to a very good standard and although has been dry stored for some years shows no signs of deterioration. A fine, rare machine ready for light recommissioning. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Later restoration, paint ok with some micro blistering. Chrome good. Engine and gearbox casings tarnished but good. Dry stored for recommissioning.

^ Triumph NSD Registration Number: YV1839 First Registered: 29-03-1930 Engine Size: 549cc Colour: Black Engine Number: 302249 Frame Number: 2009419 V5C present From the same collection as the Vincent we are proud to offer this fine example of Triumph's rare 550cc NSD. De luxe. By 1930 Triumph apparently realized that they were well behind the fashion of the time, which was sloping engined machines. Thus 1930 saw the replacement of the Model NSD by the Model NSD de Luxe, although the 'de Luxe' was soon dropped. The 'tinware' of the De Luxe model was that of the earlier Model NSD, but with a very different 'inclined' engine, as Triumph would have it instead of 'sloping'. This meant that there also needed to be a new frame in order to accommodate the new engine, and the bike took on a very different appearance. With is larger side valve engine, three speed box and power now up to 5.49hp this model paved the way for the more sporting machines of the 1930s. This particular example is in fine condition with evidence of older restoration. With original tin ware and correct engine numbers, it shows incredible originality. Paintwork and chrome fittings are in very good order and again like other bikes from this collection has positive compression and mechanically appears to be very well maintained. A very rare Triumph indeed from a good home, ready for gentle recommissioning. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Later restoration, paint ok with some micro blistering. Chrome good. Engine and gearbox casings tarnished but good. Dry stored for recommissioning.

^ Ariel VB Motorcycle Registration Number: SFO 860 First Registered: 14-4-1959 Engine Size: 600cc Colour: Black Engine Number: LD673 Frame Number: CAPR 13700 V5C present The Ariel VB sported a side valve, four stroke 600cc engine. A powerful machine which could pull a side car or two passengers and their luggage comfortably. Production numbers for the VB ran from 1947-58, this particular bike was not registered until 1959 so a very late example indeed. From the same wonderful collection as the Vincent, the Ariel is in very original condition. Not being used for several years it will need recommissioning and some light restoration but mechanically every aspect looks to be good with healthy compression. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Later restoration, paint ok with some micro blistering and paint damage to tank. Chrome ok with some light corrosion. Engine and gearbox casings tarnished but good. Age related registration number. Dry stored for recommissioning.

^ Sunbeam Model 8. OHV Registration Number: SV 6060 First Registered: 11-09-1928 Engine Size: 350cc Colour: Black Engine Number: K1389 Frame Number: C1369 V5C present The Sunbeam was advertised as 'The gentleman's motor bicycle' and built by John Marston of Wolverhampton. It was one of the great British marques, and noted for its high standards in workmanship and finish. The first OHV production Sunbeams were listed as the model 8 (350cc) and 9 (500cc) in 1924. The model 8 with bore x stroke dimensions of 70 x 90 mm was an excellent sporty tourer, but stayed somewhat in the shadow of its more glamorous big brother. 1928 was the last year that Sunbeams had flat tanks; a new feature for the year was that the oil pump was now a Sunbeam mechanical pump inside a shallow bulge on the timing case. The overhead-valve models' frame and cycle parts, which had much in common with those of Sunbeam's larger side-valve models, evolved slowly. Sunbeam missed the industry's virtually wholesale switch from flat-tank to saddle-tank frames for the 1928 season, and a saddle-tank version of the Models 8 and 9 did not appear until September of that year. This wonderful example of the model 8, still sports the earlier flat tank giving it a truly vintage feel. Although showing signs of cosmetic wear, this Sunbeam is complete and correct, mechanically sorted and ready to use after recommissioning. Eligible for VMC events such as the prestigious Banbury run its rarity and pedigree make the obvious choice for collector or investor. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Later restoration, paint ok with some micro blistering Chrome good. Engine and gearbox casings tarnished but good. Age related registration number change 1996. Dry stored for recommissioning.

^ Vincent Black Shadow Registration Number: LWU 649 First registered: 09-08-1952 Engine Size: 998cc Colour: Black Engine Number: F10.AB.1B.5743 V5C present Very rarely does a bike surface from long term ownership as this wonderful original example of the iconic Vincent Black Shadow. When launched in 1948 the Vincent Black Shadow Series C was arguably the most striking motorcycle in the world, and Vincents in general were regarded as the finest motorcycles of the time. It's well considered that all of the sublime motorcycles the British firm produced, the Black Shadow was considered the ultimate. Indeed founder Phillip Conrad Vincent decreed that the Black Shadow engine itself be black and with its stripped down look, it was the most revered machine of the postwar era. Shadows were so expensive to manufacture that Vincent actually sold them at a loss. Produced between 1949 and 1955, the C model was a tuned version of the earlier Vincent Rapide and was capable of over 120mph - an astonishing speed for the time. The 998cc V-Twin made 55bhp from its black enamel-finished engine and it had the handling and braking performance to match its brute power. LW9649 has just surfaced from long term ownership along with several other fantastic machines offered in this sale. On first inspection of the Vincent it's clearly visible that the bike is a owner/riders machine , well used and maintained with some upgrades by the owner such as disc brakes on the front and luggage racks used for the owners many trips up and down the country. The paint and castings are beautifully patinated, chrome in nice condition and decals showing gentle wear . The mighty 998cc engine is holding strong compression and is said to run sweetly. With correct numbers and original registration number this example is the perfect choice as a strong investment and prices have risen steadily over the last twenty years. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Very original, apart from later front disc brake conversion, brake servo and braided pipe conversion. Later handlebar mounted switch gear. Perhaps original paint and chrome work, tarnished and worn areas. Decals faded. Running recently. Dry stored for recommissioning.

Jaguar XKR Coupe Registration number: RE07 YLA First Registered: 28-03-2007 Engine Size: 4196cc Colour: Gold Engine Number: 07022120029G Chassis Number: SAJAC43R279B17506 Current Mileage Shown: 51,960 V5C present When the Jaguar XK8 was launched in 1995 it was deemed as a master piece of automotive design, for too long Jaguar sports coupes had lost their lines and since the early XKE jaguars production failed to make an impact on the international sports car market . The first Lawson designed new XK8 harked back to the beautiful early E-Types and Aston Martins DB coupes . When the XKR supercharged version was released a couple of years later Jaguar had the sports car world in the palm of their hand and now was a major contender in the world supercar market, taking on Mercedes AMG and Aston Martin. The Jaguar XKR Coupe is an incredibly fast and fun car to drive thanks to its charismatic supercharged V8 and sporty handling. It's more involving than a Mercedes SL63 AMG and a BMW M6 and many say it has more class than both. Yet it is civilised too with a comfortable ride and sumptuous interior. The Jag's excellent refinement and smooth auto gearbox makes it easy to poodle around town, yet it's stunning on fast roads. The lightweight aluminium body makes the XK very nimble. In 2006 Jaguar introduced the new XKR, and an all new body style larger engine giving out a blistering 520bhp and 0-60 in an incredible 4.6 seconds. We are pleased to offer this stunning, second generation XKR. Registered in 2007 and finished in Champagne gold with cream leather sports interior it has every conceivable extra you expect for a car which cost new over £80,000. The condition is a credit to the owner with excellent paintwork, clean and unmarked interior. Mechanically is in excellent order, the engine is responsive and smooth with its reassuring Supercharged Bark at high revs and showing only 51,960 miles has many years left of trouble free motoring. With the car is a history file including service receipts and handbooks, this is an excellent example for the discerning driver or collector. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Paintwork very good. Interior very good, very little wear. Tyre condition good with more than 50% tread. Alloy wheels very good with minimal curb wear. Starts and drives well.

The original is considered a British icon of the 1960s, and its space-saving front-wheel drive layout allowed 80% of the area of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage influenced a generation of car makers. The vehicle is in some ways considered the British equivalent to its German contemporary the Volkswagen Beetle, which enjoyed similar popularity in North America. In 1999 the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century. This distinctive two-door car was designed by Sir Alec Issigonis, and was manufactured at the Longbridge and Cowley plants. We are pleased to offer a stunning and late example of this iconic car showing an incredible 4830 genuine miles on the clock.

Mini Cooper Registration number: R105 NSO First Registered: 13-01-1998 Engine Size: 1275cc Colour: Blue Engine Number: 12A2LK70 363131 Chassis Number: SAXXNNAZEWD154269 V5C present The revolutionary design of the Mini was created by Sir Alec Issigonis (1906-1988), considered a visionary in industrial transportation. It was intended as an affordable vehicle in response to the oil crisis. Along its production period it was built at the Cowley plants in the United Kingdom. In its long production Austin's successful attempts at making a sporting and competitive road and rally car resulted in the iconic Mini Cooper. In September 1990, the Mini Cooper RSP (Rover Special Products) was introduced. The RSP was the first Cooper in 19 years and the first Mini with a 1,275 cc engine in a decade. It was, to this point, the only non-Works Mini fitted with an oil cooler as standard. The production of 1,050 for the UK was nowhere near enough. It was an instant success and sold out even before cars began to appear in showrooms. Last series of the original Mini went on sale in 1995 and was the most refined iteration of the British city car. It also lost none of the original character or timeless style despite numerous modern touches and bold colours. This and very last run of The Mini Cooper, for this model RSP threw in every extra possible to make this machine fast and refined . We are pleased to be able to offer a most wonderful example of this sporting icon in fabulous condition . The paintwork is finished in its distinctive factory Tahiti blue metallic and sports original alloy mini-lite wheels, quad spots and its distinctive white stripe decals on the bonnet. The interior beautifully trimmed with its sports seats covered in Monaco leather , classic walnut dash housing a magnitude of period dials. With some expensive upgrades such as Mintex race brake pads, adjustable A-ride suspension, uprated Mini sports stage 3 twinport head, new alloys and Yokohama tyres. On the road this Cooper is great fun to drive. It has a punchy 1275 engine and a very smooth gearbox and the later Minis are also geared taller to make long distance cruising simple. This late Mini Cooper is a great offer for those who are after a car with real heritage, but also one that allows trouble-free ownership and can be driven on a regular basis. Showing an original 83,000 miles this lovely car has been the subject of huge expenditure to keep it in showroom condition, backed up with a large history file, receipts for several thousand pounds and owners related material. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Paintwork generally good, later respray now showing small areas of micro blistering on front wing seam cappings and some isolated areas of surface rust blistering near window surround. Interior very good, leather seats showing light wear. Steering wheel discoloured and worn. Alloy wheels and tyres very good. Runs well and changes gear smoothly.

MGTF Sports Coupe Registration number: VA03 WCV First Registered: 17-08-2003 Mileage: 82485 Engine Size: 1588cc Colour: Blue Engine Number: 16K4FP23106671 Chassis Number: SARRDMBEB4D621907 V5C present By 1991, Rover was working of a new mid-engined sports car similar in size (and expected to be similar in price) to the recently launched Mazda MX5 and Lotus Elan. The final product, the MG F, was finally unveiled on 8 March 1995, and went on sale in September that year with a 1.8 litre 120bhp engine and was joined several months later by a 145bhp VVC (variable valve control) version. It was hugely popular and received plaudits for its excellent ride and handling. The MG F received a mild facelift in August 1999 and with its revisions was renamed using the historic TF name in January 2002, but production was halted, following the collapse of the MG Rover Group in April 2005. The MGF remains a fantastic entry level classic that is more and more appealing to the younger enthusiast due to its cheaper price tag. On the road they are sprightly and handle superbly due to its mid engined benefits and complementary geometry. Styling is modern but with a classic flare drawing from sixties and seventies supercar design. This particular example is finished in striking metallic blue with sports cloth interior, showing a very reasonable 82,000 miles runs sweetly and performs as it should. The condition can be said to be extremely nice and with some further detailing and cleaning would present itself as a good candidate for the for the collector and enthusiast. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Generally good condition. Showing signs of repaint and areas of overspray. Light wear to interior, small rips to hood.

The Escort was a commercial success in many parts of Western Europe but nowhere more than in the UK, where it was the national best seller of the 1960's. In June 1974, less than six years after the car's UK introduction, Ford announced the completion of the two millionth Ford Escort, a milestone unmatched by any Ford model outside the USA. Of the many Escort models made, their convertible was a European wide success, in XR3 and standard 1.6 and 1.8i form, they represented and were driven by the young, cool 1980s driver, from the stockbroker to the cafe owner. Examples are rare now, especially with low miles and original paint work. This one is no exception, with a good interior and very clean hood. Showing 61,000 miles believed to be genuine. For auction with a very realistic and tempting estimate and just in time for summer. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot.

Jaguar XJ6 Sovereign (XJ40) Registration number: H459 WHH First Registered: 09-06-2000 Previously registered over seas, declared manufactured 1991 Engine Size: 3200cc Colour: Bronze Engine Number: 9BPANA101775 Chassis Number: SAJJHALG3AK637411 V5C present The contemporary fashion trends of the 80's were clear to see in the styling of XJ40 Sovereign unveiled in 1986. The overall proportions were unmistakably Jaguar, with an overall more angular feel to it, featuring rectangular headlamps as well as square rear lights. A real innovation for Jaguar was the quarter light in the rear pillar, creating six light style. XJ40 Sovereign was an instant success, and demand was initially greater than what Jaguar could supply. Under the skin, XJ40 featured a new rear suspension with double wishbones and the brake discs mounted outboard. The manual gearbox was a five speed Getrag transmission first seen on the XJS, while the automatic was a four speed ZF with a new shift called the 'J' gate. 'J' gate was the brainchild of Jim Randle; it allowed gears to be easily and rapidly selected for more lively motoring. Very few clean examples of this model due to a short production run quickly being superseded by newer models. This particular example sums up a time of economic wealth and customer's desire to show it, with bold colour schemes and sumptuous interiors. Finished in champagne gold and trimmed in beautiful biscuit leather, this is a true survivor of the lavish and indulgent 1980s. On inspection the interior is in remarkable, original condition with gleaming walnut and excellent internal brightwork. The engine is silky smooth and transmission changed effortlessly when expected. The coachwork is very original showing very few signs of age with only small areas of rust on the lower offside wing. Accompanied with a history file containing, old Mots, receipts, hand books and owner's manual. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lotOriginal paintwork with some signs of touch up. Lower front wings behind wheel arch rusted. Interior original with light wear. Leather seats good with light wear. Headlining showing areas of sagging. Wheels and Tyres good. Starts and drives well.

1975 MGB Roadster Registration number: HKO 823N Date of first registration: 01-04-1975 Vin number: GHN5-371669G Engine number: BHM1111ET08557 Engine size: 1798cc Colour: Red MOT expiry: March 2020 V5C present listing 11 former keepers Current mileage shown: 10955 In structure the MGB was an innovative, modern design in 1962, utilizing a monocoque structure instead of the traditional body-on-frame construction used on both the MGA and MG T-types. The roadster was the first of the MGB range to be produced. The body was a pure two-seater; a small rear seat was a rare option at one point. By making better use of space the MGB was able to offer more passenger and luggage accommodation than the earlier MGA while being 3 inches (75 mm) shorter overall. The suspension was also softer, giving a smoother ride, and the larger engine gave a slightly higher top speed. This MGB is in excellent condition as the current owner has spent time and money on restoring it to a high standard including engine tuning, a new interior, new windscreen and, a fresh coat of paint. Comes with a V5C and a long MOT. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot

The MG Midget was originally based upon the successful Austin Healey (Frog Eye) Sprite but with significant body changes and similar Sprite versions continued alongside to 1971. During it's life significant changes occurred including engine capacities rising from 948cc to 1493cc, with the most controversial being the 1500. We are happy to offer a very clean example of this MK.111 Midget. Powered by the successful 1275cc unit giving the car a very sprightly performance. For this model the square-shaped rear wheel arches became rounded in January 1972. Also in this year, a Triumph steering rack was fitted, giving a gearing that was somewhat lower than earlier Midgets. The car has been the subject of a fairly comprehensive restoration over the years and the vendor has been witness to newly fitted factory doors and wings. The interior upholds a great deal of originality, with correct seats, dash and dials. The engine is smooth and responsive, and she changes up and down the gears effortlessly. Finished in presentable, period dark orange with black sills, a revised recessed black grille, and squared off taillights as on the MGB and 13-inch Rubery Owen ''Rostyle'' wheels. To many this car represents the best of the bunch and prices are still incredibly affordable for what is a very classic British sports car. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Older restoration, paintwork good, showing signs of rust on rear N/S wing top. Interior worn and discoloured. Light tarnishing to chrome. Tyres perished. Runs and drives well.

MGB Roadster Registration number. LKN 259F First Registered. 12-10-1967 Mileage. TBC Engine Size. 1798cc Colour. Red Engine Number. 18GBRUH85251 Chassis Number. GHN3132674 V5C present The MGB replaced the outgoing MGA in May 1962. It then remained in production until the Abingdon factory finally closed in 1980. Compared with the 'A' the 'B' was a more comfortable mode of transport all round with more legroom and generally more creature comforts like wind-up windows. Initially all the cars were roadsters and the suspension was slightly softer than the MGA, but it still handled well. Despite being an inch or two shorter than the 'A' the interior space was better designed giving the passengers a bit more space plus there was now room for a more sensible amount of luggage when touring. But it carried on the 'wind in the hair' tradition of the great British sports car and while by modern standards it is not particularly rapid, in its day its performance was regarded as 'brisk'. The entire MGB range all used a version of the 1798 cc BMC Series B engine, which was a slightly enlarged version of the 1622cc Series A Engine. The 1960s Roadster was probably the best looking of all the MGBs , with chrome grill, bumpers and fabulous uncluttered styling more at kin with exotic Italian sports cars from a decade earlier . Interiors were very much 1960s with its Aston DB style dashboard, slimline, red piped sports seats and wooden steering wheel . Of all the models made over the 20 year production run, this was the purists favourite. The example we have on offer is has been the subject of a complete and comprehensive rebuild lasting a period of ten years between 1987 and 1997. The previous owner used a heritage shell and repaired the panels where necessary and then finished in striking red. Engine was stripped down and bottom and top ends completely rebuilt . Interior is extremely nice showing signs of patinated use. A very good example of an older restoration and still in good order, mechanically well maintained, rust free with great paint. Accompanying the car is a large boxed history file containing receipts and paperwork relating to the car and marque . Excellent examples are now regularly advertised at well over the 20k mark and of all the post war MG models the B roadster has seen the biggest recent increase in value .

Riley RME 1.5 Litre Registration Number: OAO 270 First Registered: 16-06-1954 Engine Size: 1496cc Colour: Blue Engine Number: 12830 Chassis Number: RME 22608 V5C present Riley's slogan was 'As old as the industry-As modern as the hour '. And to many the Riley proved to be the most successful motor car in the world. From its humble beginnings in the late 19th century to creating some of the most beautiful and advanced cars ever made. Riley prided itself on its sporting pedigree and with the help of aeronautical designers built gorgeous streamline bodies in the 1930s. The postwar RM series was derived from earlier body styling that gave birth to its predecessors such as the Kestrel and Big four. The RM's grace and quality of build firmly secured Riley's position as a major player in Post war Britain and although the company now run by Nuffield, managed to create probably the last truly classic Riley, taking aspects of the thirties but with a revised, more powerful twin overhead cam, one and a half and two and half litre units, bigger breaks by girling, independent suspension and better handling. The RM was born in the late 1940s and under the guise of earlier design was a truly modern motor car, or as Riley themselves described it in 1945, 'Magnificent Motoring'. In this sale we are pleased to offer two very good examples of the famous RM from a single vendor. This model sports the smaller, and very successful one and a half litre engine . A late RME dating from 1954 in charming smoke blue with black vinyl roof . In very good condition with no signs of corrosion, well maintained by its present owner and Riley enthusiast. Charming original interior, good chrome-work and is said to be mechanically good order. Riley RM prices are still sensible unlike their pre-war cousins, and with good spares availability and two strong national owners' clubs, they are a joy to own and drive. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Older restoration showing signs of minimal wear to paint. Chrome work good with areas of light tarnishing. Original interior with age related wear to leather seats and headlining. Minor perishing to tyres. Starts and drives well.

Riley's experimentations with a larger engine for their RM resulted in the birth of the RMB. With a top speed now touching 95mph and 0-60 slashed from 25 seconds to 16.5 seconds this really was a very powerful motorcar of its day. With all these changes in what was still a heavy car but, consumption only dropped by three miles per gallon from the smaller 1.5 Litre unit to the new 2.5 unit. Finished in pleasant cream livery, body condition upon inspection reveals no corrosion and brightwork is in fine condition. The interior benefits from professional re-trimming in good quality leather with headlining and door cards also being renewed at some stage. Again mechanically in good order and ready for gentle recommissioning. A very smart and capable post-war sports saloon with great investment potentially, the RMB is rarer, more sought after and consequently not appearing as often on the open market. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Older restoration showing signs of minimal wear to paint. Chrome work good with areas of light tarnishing.

Sunbeam Rapier Registration Number: GHN 631D First Registered: 01-01-1966 Mileage: 94366 Engine Size: 1725cc Colour: Red Engine Number: B325000214 Chassis Number: BB250002140DHS0 V5C present Announced at the London Motor Show of 1955, the Sunbeam Rapier was the first of a new range of Rootes cars that was to include the Hillman Minx and the Singer Gazelle. A complete departure from the Sunbeam MKIII it replaced, it was a modern-looking two-door, four-seater Coupe with such standard equipment as leather trim and overdrive. The bodies were built by Pressed Steel, shipped to Thrupp & Maberly in London for painting and trimming and then moved to the Rootes plant at Ryton-on-Dunsmore for final assembly. Though initially a little underpowered, the Rapier had inherently excellent handling and was quickly adopted for rallying. Indeed the launch of the Series II version took place at the end of the 1958 Monte Carlo Rally in which Peter Harper's Works Rapier had finished fifth overall. Over its twenty-one year reign, the model progressed through five series, the swansong being the Series V derivative introduced in 1965. Though visually almost identical to its predecessor, it was notable for its larger, five-bearing engine of 1725cc capacity. Just 3,759 Series Vs were built, making it the rarest of all versions of the model. This example on offer is presented in original 'Pippin' red and has been the subject of a light restoration. The interior can only be described as delightful with recently recovered seats in correct Blenheim Black vinyl. Dash and instrumentation are correct with all dials appearing to work well, complete with period radio . The engine has been professionally restored using a replacement engine block, re-bored with new Hepolite pistons fitted, camshaft bearings, crankshaft bearings, timing chain, cam followers and core plugs. The transmission benefits from new centre clutch plate, master and slave cylinder, full oil seal kit and half shaft oil seal kit. The brake system has had a complete overhaul including wheel cylinders, shoes and servo assembly. A fine example of this rare sixties two door coupe in fabulous condition internally and externally and with its powerful 1725cc engine with overdrive performs better than most cars of its era and was subsequently used successfully Europe wide in motorsport events proving itself as an extremely competitive and robust competition entry. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Recent restoration including paintwork to a good standard. Re trimmed seats in very good order. Interior clean.

Morris Oxford Flatnose. 'Judges car' Registration Number: FH 4674 First Registered: 10-01-1927 Engine Size: 1701cc Colour: Blue/Black Engine Number: 195653 Chassis Number: 173833 V5C present Morris Motors limited, a privately owned company, formed in 1919. Incredible by 1926 it's production represented 42 percent of the British car industry. One off coach built cars were rare by Morris and its with great delight that can offer this wonderful example. This rare Morris was purpose built by the company for a London judge on the Oxford Circuit. This is a true one off, the body being raised by 150-200 mm higher than standard, widened axle and rear wings with indents in the wings to give the rear doors maximum opening for easy access. Ironically the rear seats are raised to give a seating position of height and superiority, much as the judge himself would have been used to in his place of session. Other unusual aspects include, opening roof and a unique suspension set up using Horstman coil suspension, and probably the only Morris in existence to have this fitted. All modifications were carried out to enable the judge to proceed from his chambers to court while dressed in his ceremonial wig and full canonicals. On inspection this rare car is in exceptional condition which reflects a comprehensive but sympathetic restoration program by the current owner. The body previously removed for the purpose of chassis restoration, all large components, blasted and professionally painted. Engine and all mechanical items refurbished, new clutch, wiring, new radiator core, brakes, tyres and tubes. The interior professionally reupholstered, new German nickel plated radiator cowl and bright work, glass upgraded to laminate and all the woodwork refinished to a high standard. To finish the car has had a full re-wire and a first class paint job in blue over black. To accompany the Morris is a large history file , and photographic restoration record , original green logbook and current V5C. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a unique and historically important Morris Oxford, comprehensively restored at vast expense and ready to enjoy.

Wolseley Model Eight Registration Number: EFU 658 First Registered: 08-12-1947 Engine Size: 918cc Colour: Black Engine Number: 3360 Chassis Number: 308/3336 V5C present Wolseley is a name synonymous with quality pre and post war, and even in their smaller models no expense was spared in luxury and performance. The model eight is a four door, light saloon car which was produced by Wolseley from 1946 to 1948. These cars were only made between 1946 and 1948 (just over 5,300 were made in Birmingham) and they don't come up for sale very often. The engine is 918cc OHV, with a 4-speed gearbox and hydraulic brakes. Apparently, at launch, the Wolseley 8 was priced at £416, £115 more than the equivalent Morris, reflecting the more luxurious nature of the car and the better engine. We are delighted to offer this charming 1947 example in gleaming black paintwork. The car is blessed with a huge amount of originality with its charming leather interior and a large history file. Mechanically sound, with all instrumentation appearing to work properly. The bodywork is in excellent order with gleaming brightwork, engine runs smoothly and brakes are in good order.

Dodge Business Coupe Registration number: SV 4369 First Registered: 22-04-1993 (in UK) declared manufacture 1927. Mileage: 72534 Engine Size: 3478cc Colour: Blue Engine Number: D934708 Chassis Number: A845701 V5C present Horace and John Dodge founded the Dodge Brothers Company in Detroit in 1900, and quickly found work manufacturing precision engine and chassis components for the city's growing number of automobile firms. Chief among these customers were the established Olds Motor vehicle company and the new Ford Motor company . Henry Ford selected the Dodge brothers to supply a wide range of components for his original Model A, that included the complete chassis; thus Ford needed to add only the body and wheels to finish the cars. Dodges main selling attribute was 'dependability', also their cars were built extremely well , hardy and consistent. Like the Ford model T and A series they were also affordable. The Business Coupe was the industry's first all-coupe body powered by a powerful 3478cc unit and due to its reduced weight and styling was a very usable and fast machine in Dodges range. This 1927 example is presented in its original colour scheme of 'Gendarme blue', over black and has been the subject of a professional re-trim . On close inspection the bodywork is in excellent order, paintwork very smart. She sits on original pattern, white walled tyres which are in good order. All internal instrumentation is standard and correct as are headlamps and side lamps Mechanically the coupe is good, its 3.5 litre engine is in running order and gear change is smooth. This is a rarely seen example in this country and like a lot of American imports benefit from extreme originality, this example is no exception and for those enthusiasts that lean more towards the oily rag machine but in fine working order this would be an obvious choice. With the price of many European, pre 1930 cars losing their affordability the Dodge presents itself as the perfect Vintage Sports Car Club entrant upon obtaining a buff form from the club. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Predominantly original car, repainted at some stage. Paint dull with some chipping. Starts and drives well.

Designed by Alec Issigonis, the Morris Minor was unveiled to the public at London's Earls Court Motor Show at the end of October 1948. At launch the Morris Minor cost £358 10s 7d. When the Traveller was launched in 1953, it was pretty unusual. Estate cars were fairly rare, while small estate cars were almost unthinkable. Even 'Woodies' were generally just for the elite to go hunting in on their large estates. The Traveller was a pioneer, albeit one that clung onto ancient technology - for rather than a van with seats and windows, it was a proper, timber-framed utility vehicle based on saloon underpinnings. Nowadays the iconic Morris Minor Traveller has won the hearts of many with its recognisable and almost prewar front end and distinctive woody rear is probably one of the most popular and affordable British classic cars. Practical and with good spares availability and extremely reliable and simple to work on. This 1970 example has been the subject of a recent extensive restoration which has resulted in the most wonderful example . All important woodwork has been professionally renewed with seasoned Ash, any rust issues have been dealt with and the car has been painted to a very high standard in period blue grey. Showing only 22,845 miles (not warranted) but condition suggests little use. The interior is remarkably original with seats and headlining in very good condition. Internal paintwork clean and instrumentation correct and in working order. With long term family ownership and some history this really is a fine example of this period woody estate. Due to its condition and originality this is an opportunity to purchase a car with all the usual Minor Traveller issues sorted, ready to use and show. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Recent restoration, excellent paint, excellent woodwork. Predominantly original interior in clean condition. Tyres and wheels in good order.

Austin Seven AEW Sports Special Registration number: YVS573 First Registered: 1936 Engine Size: 749cc Colour: Maroon and black Engine Number: M290024 Chassis Number: 259536 V5C present In 1932 a coachbuilder called A.E.Wright at Bedford Garage, Beford Road, Alexandra Park, London started building bodies on new Standard Austin seven chassis. Modelled on similar specials like Swallow, Arrow and Gordon England it was Wright's attempt of a close coupled two seater sports which would potentially take a slice of the increasing affordable open sports market many car producers were trying to tap into. The AEW was a pretty little car with cut away sides and light body giving it type 65 looks but at a greatly reduced price tag due to construction on standard high chassis. Performance was significantly better than a standard Seven and with its folding windscreen and louvred bonnet had real sporty appeal. Unfortunately Wright's exploits were short lived due to the ever increasing competition and production costs, cars were made in low numbers approximately around 200, and very few survive today. It is said that this example offered is one left of four known. This rare survivor was discovered in 1993 in a farm yard . In barn find condition, ripe for restoration but remained complete with original engine, bodywork and factory fittings. Over the next few years it was subject to a full and detailed restoration by the discerning and knowledgeable owner who embarked on comprehensive strip down, refurbishing every aspect of the car but keen to keep as much originality as possible. Finished in maroon over black and can only by described as in fantastic condition, is a joy to drive. With its responsive rebuilt 750cc engine, four speed box and great lines will turn heads at any event. Given the car's rarity and history (we believe there are only two surviving two-seat AEGs) it is an obvious choice for the collector who loves all things Austin Seven, but craves something a little different from the many standard tourers and box saloons out there, but for very similar money. Sold with a large history file, photographic record and handbook she is ready to drive away, show or compete in club events. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Recent restoration, paintwork good, paint flat on bonnet top. Interior re-trimmed to high standard. Hood in excellent order. New tyres. Starts and drives well.
