1950 BSA Bantam D1 Rigid Frame 123ccReg. no. FBX 641Frame no. YD120675Engine no. 20633YDWhen launched in 1948 the Bantam D1 had a modern unit construction, 2-stroke 123cc engine with a 3-speed gearbox that was said to be equal to any equivalent motor made by the major producer of 2-strokes at that time, Villiers. The initial rigid framed bike was soon joined by a plunger framed model and the two were sold side by side until 1955.This Bantam appears to have been restored to a very good standard many years ago but has not been used for some time so will require recommissioning prior to use.Comes with - a current V5C.
1934 Coventry Eagle M2 restoration projectReg. no. CZ 4666Frame no. 83020Engine no. 83020The Coventry Eagle 150cc Villiers long stroke, twin port, two-stroke had a left-hand gear change and an Albion gearbox. They were either fitted with Villiers electrics (M1) or a Miller Dynamo (M2). The factory advertising said that the ‘World famous patented channel steel unbreakable frame was built on car chassis lines and gave a perfect riding position’. This bike appears to be very original with those hard to find Coventry Eagle parts still in place and the engine turns over.Comes with - a current V5C and an old buff logbook.
1940s/1950s DOT Delivery Tricycle ‘Motor Van’ restoration projectReg. no. Not registeredFrame no. t.b.a.Engine no. 951/1 0668DApproximately 2500 were built between 1942 and 1955, the DOT (Devoid Of Trouble) Tricycle was billed as the most economical delivery vehicle in the world and in the advertising leaflets it was called a ‘Motor Cycle Truck’ if it had the open railed front and a ‘Motor Van’ if it had the box. They were initially powered by the Villiers 122cc two stroke twin port engine before later upgrading to the 197cc engine. This rare to the market bike appears to be fairly complete, and it will make an interesting restoration project.Comes with - no documentation
1939 Raynal Auto Cycle 98cc restoration projectReg. no. FYR 395Frame no. 2596Engine no. H 12732The Raynal Auto Cycle was produced in Birmingham in very limited numbers in 1937 and used the Villiers Junior engine. The bike was further developed in 1939 with the addition of sprung forks, and continued in small numbers until 1950 when unfortunately, they could not compete with the larger manufacturers of auto-cycles and production ceased. This bike requires full restoration but appears mostly complete.Comes with - a current V5C and an old buff logbook.
Trojan Mini Motor fitted to a Triumph bicycleReg. no. XXB 953 (no documents)Frame no. UnknownEngine no. A 3485 (indistinct)The famous Trojan Mini motorcycle unit was made by Trojan of Croydon between 1949 and 1955 and as the advert said, ‘have a Mini Motor fitted to your bike and it takes all the effort out and puts ease and comfort in’. This Trojan is believed to be a Mk. 1 manufactured between 1949 and 1950 and has been fitted to a very early Triumph ladies bicycle. It has been in a large collection for many years and the condition of the engine is unknown.Comes with – no documents.
1940 Rudge AutocycleReg. no. CYD 263AFrame no. 2654Engine no. XX15051Rudge was one of the first customers to use the JDL (Junior de Luxe) motors instead of the expected Junior engines and all their Autocycles were fitted with them. Compared with the Junior engine the JDL had more torque for hills and a few more revs giving it a top speed of around 32 to 35 mph. Another original feature of the Rudge was the spring-loaded pedal chain tensioner, a feature that was extensively used by other manufacturers.This Autocycle has been restored at some time and the engine is detached from the bike.
New Hudson AutocycleReg. no. DTR 329Frame no. UnknownEngine no. XXA 29718 (Villiers Junior)New Hudson motorcycles was a British manufacturer founded in 1902 by George Patterson and continued trading until 1957 with an interlude between 1932 and 1940. It was then that the successful production of the autocycle began using the 98cc Villiers engine. In 1943 BSA bought the company and continued making autocycles under the New Hudson name until 1957.This autocycle appears fairly complete and unrestored. Mechanical condition unknown.Comes with – no documents.
1938 Austin Big 7 SaloonReg. no. DDE 216Chassis no. C/RW11102Engine no. C/RW11102The Big Seven joined the Austin range in 1938, filling a perceived gap between the long-running and hugely popular Seven and the 10/4. While retaining the famous ‘Seven’ name, it was in fact in the 8hp class, with a 900cc engine instead of the 747cc unit that was fitted to all Sevens. This new side-valve engine produced 25bhp, allowing larger coachwork to be fitted without a drop in performance. The Big Seven was therefore a more practical family car, with more space for both luggage and passengers. The Big Seven sold well for a year, before being replaced by the new Austin 8 in 1939. This 1938 Big Seven is a low-mileage example with just two previous owners in its 84-year history; a copy of a magazine article on the car is within the file, famous motoring historian, the late Mike Worthington-Williams, writing that the car had covered just 21,000 miles from new and describing it as being in lovely original condition. The last MOT in the file, from 2010, does indeed list mileage of 21,319. Also, in the file are several bills, with the latest being for just under £600 in 2009, for work including a brake rebuild and conversion of the rear axle to modern oil seals. Requiring recommissioning after several years of rest, this must be one of the lowest-mileage Big Sevens left. Several old MOTs are also in the file, together with the bill from when the previous owner bought the car in 1971 – for £25! There is a V5C in the file.
1939 Morris 10cwt LorryReg. no. EDE 289Chassis no. S2/TWV32998Engine no. 50345The 10cwt range was Morris Commercial’s offering in the light-duty commercial vehicle market in the late 1930s. Using four-cylinder engines derived from those used in the company’s 12hp range of passenger cars, they were cheap to run compared to larger six-cylinder vehicles, and parts commonality with the Morris passenger vehicles meant that they were easy to service as well. This made these practical vehicles popular all over the country, and they could be seen hard at work for many years after production ended. Naturally for vehicles of this type, they lived a hard life, which means survivors are rather rare today.This 1939 10cwt looks to have led one such hard life, if the photos in the history file are anything to go by. Entering the Pugh collection in 1983, it was in a rather sorry state. Soon, though, it would be brought back to its best; bills in the file attest to a lot of work in 1987, both mechanical and cosmetic, bringing this vehicle back into good serviceable condition. Thereafter it seems to have been in light use, a record covering the period 1995-2005 showing regular maintenance and around 800 miles covered in that period. Now not used for a few years, this characterful 1930s commercial will require some recommissioning. It comes with a large collection of pre-restoration photographs, various old MOTs, a V5C, some correspondence and some bills, plus an original handbook and printouts of a service manual.
1956 Ford Popular Reg. no. XDE 296Chassis no. 907132Engine no. 907132The Ford Popular was launched in 1953, carrying on the pre-war style of the outgoing Anglia model, that had been replaced by the much more modern-looking 100E Anglia. Tracing its heritage directly back to the Model Y of 1932 – Ford’s first Europe-specific model – the Popular aimed to provide extremely cheap new-car transport for those who would otherwise buy a second-hand car or a motorcycle. It sold well – helped by the fact that the hiatus in production during the war years meant that there were not many good second-hand cars to buy. Basic, with vacuum wipers, painted bumpers and a flat steel dash, all powered by a pre-war 1172cc side-valve engine, it was no-frills motoring at a time when that’s exactly what the country needed. The success of the ‘Pop’ has made it one of the most recognisable of British classics, with the car also finding unlikely fame as the archetypal basis for a British hot-rod – what the 1932 Model B Ford was to the American custom car world, so the Popular was to the British one. This 1956 Popular spent many years in a museum. In 2004, it joined the Pugh collection and was duly recommissioned for road use, with a full service and change of all fluids. In 2008, having only covered 110 miles since 2004, it was serviced again, and the underside coated with oil for corrosion protection. It was also MOT’d. Now requiring recommissioning once more, the car seems to be in solid original condition, with scope for cosmetic improvement in some areas. A handful of MOT certificates come with it, together with some tax discs, V5C and the original buff log book.
1938 MG TA TickfordReg. no. NP 1067Chassis no. TA3049Engine no. MPJG3318The TA was launched in 1936, marking the beginning of the long-running T-Type series of Midgets. Replacing the PB, it was a larger car, with a 3-inch wider track – 45 inches – and 7-inch longer wheelbase – 94 inches. This made it a much more useable car with more luggage space, and easier to get in and out of without resorting to complex gymnastic routines. The 1292cc engine was also a new fitment. Derived from the Wolseley Ten, this ‘MPJG’ unit was overhead-valve, doing away with the overhead-cam format of the earlier MG’s. Breathing through twin SU carburettors, it offered 50bhp, meaning the TA could reach almost 80mph – very competitive for a small sports car in its time. The four-speed gearbox benefitted from synchromesh on the top two ratios, while hydraulic brakes were now the standard fitment. Production ended in 1939; from 1938, a Tickford drophead coupe was also offered, just 252 of which were built. These cars were bodied by Salmons of Newport Pagnell using Tickford patents – namely, the hood that could be used in three positions, fully up, half-open, and fully down. This luxurious body also featured proper wind-up windows, offering a level of weather protection of which owners of other MGs could only dream.This Tickford TA was built in December 1938, and first registered in March 1939 to a Mr B Cooke of Rednal, Birmingham, as evidenced by correspondence in the file. Also, within the file is correspondence with the DVLA in the 1970s and 1980s, plus a dealer’s advert for the car and some old MOTs, a V5C and photographs. The car has not been used for a few years and thus some recommissioning will be needed; however, it presents very well, with good paintwork, while the all-important hood is free of tears and damage.
c. 1931 Caravan possibly ‘Angela’Reg. no. n/aChassis no. n/aEngine no. n/aThis intriguing 1931 caravan is of unknown make, thought possibly to be an ‘Angela’, which were early caravans from Flamstead near St Albans, and named after the founder's daughter. At this time caravans were very much a novelty, with few cars available that were capable of towing such a load. As the 1930s continued and cars became more powerful caravanning started to take off, but early examples such as this, from the pioneering years of the car-drawn caravan, are a rarity. The caravan is constructed with a wooden frame and oiled fibreboard. Stored under cover for most of its life, it was used as a blanket store in Great Yarmouth during the war. Acquired by previous owners in 2004, it was then refurbished, although pleasingly little structural work was needed. Now presenting well, with a cottage-like charm that only caravans of this era can provide, it retains lovely period features on the inside. It would be a perfect vehicle for shows, perhaps towed by a suitable large classic, and would also provide superb holiday accommodation in a style that the caravans of today can’t hope to emulate.
1952 MG YB SaloonReg. no. FDO 348Chassis no. YB0803Engine no. XPAG/SC2/17689Introduced for the 1952 model year, the MG YB was an improved version of the YA, which was MG’s small saloon in the immediate post-war era – although it actually had pre-war origins. Compared to the YA, the YB had a completely new Lockheed twin leading shoe brake system, a more modern hypoid back axle, and smaller 15-inch wheels, which gave better road-holding. It also benefitted from an anti-roll bar and improved shock absorbers, the result being a car that was more modern to drive than its predecessor, even if on the surface the cars looked very similar. Power was still supplied by the same 1250cc XPAG engine, offering respectable performance for a car in its class. Just 1301 YBs were built before the type was replaced by the ZA Magnette in 1953.This 1952 YB joined the collection in 2003. Initial recommissioning work included a new brake master cylinder and speedo cable. It was then in regular light use, a record in the file showing that around 6000 miles were covered between then and 2011. Serviced regularly, it was also treated to a full brake system rebuild in 2011. There are also several old MOTs and tax discs, plus bills for the work carried out. Pleasingly, it also comes with its original logbook, as well as a current V5C. The car now presents as an honest example, with scope for cosmetic improvement to the paint and brightwork, but could easily be used as it is, and its history of regular use since purchase is reassuring. As with the other cars from the collection, recommissioning will be needed before significant road mileage, due to lack of use in recent years.
c. 1939 MG TA Cream Cracker Replica Reg. no. MG 4639Chassis no. TA/3131Engine no. XPAG16305MG’s successful TA Midget did of course, like its forerunners and competitors, find a natural home in various disciplines of motorsport in the 1930s. Perhaps their best-known exploits came on the trials hills, with TAs painted in the distinctive combination of brown over cream continued the name and success of the ‘Cream Crackers’ – the name given to MG’s works trials vehicles. For weight reduction TA Cream Crackers had aluminium bonnets and cycle wings, while they were often modified to carry two spare wheels at the rear for extra traction. The Cream Cracker team in their TAs duly won the MCC team championship in both 1937 and 1938, helping secure MG’s superb trialling pedigree.This 1939 TA arrived in the collection in 1998 as a kit of parts and was assembled for Mr Pugh by MG Classics (Ely) Ltd as a Cream Cracker replica. During this process, it was also fitted with a later MG TC engine and a Riley 1 ½ Litre gearbox, plus a Ford Anglia differential incorporating a higher ratio. With mileage on 0 on acquisition – the car was straight from the restoration workshop – it was then used lightly over the next decade, with 2792 miles covered up to October 2009. During this period, the car was serviced regularly, and maintenance and adjustments carried out where required. In 2009, the braking system was overhauled, together with the rear axle. Not used for a few years now, the car will of course need recommissioning, but once that is completed should prove a most versatile vehicle, on the road or on trials hills. It comes with various bills and old MOTs, a V5C stating the year as 1998, plus photographs of the rebuild and an old buff log book.
1994 Rover Mini Sprite 1275ccReg. no. WDE 877Chassis no. SAXXNYADBBD087311Engine no. 12A2BG03289211By the dawn of the 1990s, the Mini was over 30 years old, and had carved out something of a niche in Rover’s production, as both a ‘living classic’ and low-cost transport. While attempts had been made to replace it – the Metro, for example – buyers still appreciated the Mini’s character and low running costs, and Rover cleverly exploited the model’s iconic image by producing an array of special limited-edition versions. That’s not to say that a more basic Mini didn’t still hold appeal – far from it, and indeed in the mid-90s the base model – previously the City, now the Sprite, a name evoking images of the famous MG sports cars – continued to sell well, especially now that all cars came with the more powerful 1275cc engine. This 1994 Mini Sprite was purchased new by the Pughs - £6143.43 in 1994. Fitted with an optional radio and treated with ‘Supaguard’ by the supplying dealer, it has remained in the family ever since, with a healthy history file consisting of MOTs, bills for general servicing and maintenance, plus of course the original sales invoice and accompanying paperwork. Last MOT’d in 2015, this one-owner Mini will require some recommissioning before returning to the road. Showing just 18,221 miles at the last MOT, this is an unusually low-mileage example of a quintessential British classic. There is a V5C in the file.
1948 Morris 8 Series E SaloonReg. no. KDE 350Chassis no. SE/F116293Engine no. UnknownThe Series E Morris 8 represented a major styling change for Morris’ most popular model. Launched in October 1938, it clearly drew its styling cues from the streamlining that was so in fashion at the time, with the car looking somewhat like a small version of the Chrysler Airflow. Gone were the separate headlights and pronounced radiator of the previous model; instead, the lights smoothly blended into the wings, while the grille was now a dummy ‘waterfall’ item, following the curved line of the front of the car. On the side, the running boards had disappeared. The engine was upgraded – still a side-valve ‘four’ of 918cc, but now with 29bhp, thanks largely to an improved cylinder head. The gearbox gained a fourth speed, with synchromesh on second, third and fourth. Unusually, the car remained in production throughout the war years for military and essential civilian purposes. In production until its replacement by the Minor in 1948, the Series E was a popular car, with just over 120,000 finding owners. This 1948 example was a Pembrokeshire car from new, the original logbook showing a Mr P F Martin of Haverfordwest as its first owner. Purchased in 1994 as a restoration project, much work was then carried out, with bills and details in the car’s history file. The most recent bill is from 2003, when amongst other things, the braking system was renewed, the clutch adjusted, the engine mounts replaced, and the voltage regulator replaced. There is a V5C in the file.
1945 MG TC MidgetReg. no. BSV 614Chassis no. TC0537Engine no. 1237XPAGThe TC was the first post-war MG, launched in September 1945. To the untrained eye, it was hard to tell the difference between this and the preceding Midget, the pre-war TB. Indeed, both shared the same engine – the highly-tuneable 1250cc XPAG, now with slightly higher compression ratio and 54.5bhp. One invisible improvement was a hydraulically-adjusted timing change tensioner. The main difference, however, was the widening of the body by some 4 inches when measured at the rear of the doors; this gave a more accommodating interior, while the actual width of the car remained the same as the TB, the running boards instead shrinking to accommodate the increased width. MG also exported the car to the US, despite not producing it in left-hand-drive. This laid the foundation for the great success of subsequent MG sports cars on the other side of the Atlantic, which proved highly lucrative for the company. 10,001 TCs were produced up to 1950, making it the most-produced MG at that point.This 1945 TC entered the Pugh collection at some point in the 1980s. It was a restored vehicle, and as the original registration number was unknown, it was issued with the current age-related number. The extensive history file includes many bills relating to work done to the car from the 1980s onwards, with the most recent bill relating to a rebuild of the braking system in 2009, together with attention to the rear axle oil seals. Other major work includes a rebuild of the steering between 1988 and 1991, and in 1999 the rebuild of the cylinder head to large-valve, unleaded specification. A detailed service and mileage record covers the period 1994 to 2009, with around 4,500 miles covered over that time. Together with the many bills in the file, there are also a selection of tax discs and old MOTs, as well as a V5C.
1928 Rolls-Royce 20 HP Park Ward SaloonReg. no. YX 9722Chassis no. GKM48Engine no. Q8MComplementing the mighty 40/50hp models – first the Silver Ghost, later the Phantom – the Rolls Royce 20hp was the company’s ‘small’ car for the 1920s – although of course small here is a purely comparative term! Much more attainable than a 40/50, it was nevertheless a very expensive high-quality car, built with all the attention detail and engineering rigour as its larger siblings. Based on a very strongly-built conventional chassis, with semi-elliptic springs all round, the car was powered by a new 3127cc overhead-valve straight-six, offering around 50bhp by most estimates – although of course Rolls Royce themselves never did anything so vulgar as publishing brake horsepower outputs. Early cars had a 3-speed gearbox with central change; from 1925 this was upgraded to a 4-speed, with the change moved to the right of the driver. That year also saw the introduction of very effective 4-wheel brakes, operated as in the larger cars by a gearbox-driven servo – a system famously licensed by Rolls Royce from their French-Spanish rivals, Hispano-Suiza. As was usual for luxury cars at the time, Rolls Royce only built the chassis and mechanical parts; these were then provided to the customer’s choice of coachbuilder for a bespoke body.This 1928 20 was delivered to coachbuilders Park Ward – always a popular choice for Rolls Royce’s customers – and fitted by them with fabric-covered coachwork to Weymann patents. This type of body, with a wooden frame and flexible metal joints, was both light and rattle-free compared to contemporary saloon bodies. The car’s early history is unclear, but the original factory order sheet, a printed copy of which is in the file, lists the purchaser as Sir Archibald Mitchelson, 1st Baronet – an investment banker. A letter in the file from a Mr Jennings states that his father, of Frome, purchased the car in 1948 or 49 and then used it as his main car until 1960, when a failed autovac caused a breakdown in Bath. Thought to have been unused from this point, it was acquired by Mr Pugh at a Christie’s auction of unrestored vehicles at Beaulieu Autojumble in 1994, for just under £20,000 including premium. Due to its long hibernation, various work was required, and this was duly carried out. The fabric exterior finish had unfortunately developed cracks and was duly replaced, together with repairs to the wooden frame; the rest of the car’s cosmetics remain extremely original. Mechanically, the car was completely renewed, with bills adding up to well over £10,000, including over £8,500 on a full engine rebuild. The car was rewired, the braking system sorted, the suspension renewed, and the clutch relined – the relevant bills are present, and too detailed to list in full here! After this work, the car returned to the road, and up to 2010 covered almost 10,000 miles, with a detailed mileage and maintenance record being kept. This superbly original and well-preserved Rolls Royce is offered with a large amount of paperwork, consisting of a comprehensive set of bills for the work carried out in the 1990s, plus some correspondence and the catalogue for the Christie’s auction where it was purchased. It also has various old MOTs, 1945 and 1975 logbooks, plus copies of the factory build and test sheets, containing some fascinating technical information, including dynamometer tests, spring specifications, and optional equipment. It also comes with an original handbook for the 20hp, plus one for the 40/50hp, and a March 1937 copy of the Rolls Royce Bulletin, as fate would have it containing an article on Lacock, very close to where the car is now being offered for sale.

1986 Porsche 928 S2 Transmission: manualMileage:72099The 928 series of top-of-the-line motorcars represented a huge departure for the Stuttgart firm. The emphasis was more on refinement and comfort rather than flat-out performance as illustrated by the 911. Power came from the front through a V8, water-cooled engine displacing a hefty 4.5 litres. The body, styled by Wolfgang Möbius, was mainly galvanized steel, but the doors, front wing, front bumpers, and bonnet were made of aluminium to save weight. Interestingly, the pop-up headlights, for which this model is well-known for were based on another equally famous sportscar, the Lamborghini Miura. The original 928 was upgraded in 1986 most notably with ABS and an engine displacement increase to 4.7 litres transforming power output to 310bhp.Earlier this year, GP Customs spent some time on the interior including the Pasha tombstone seats, armrests, centre console and steering wheel to the tune of over £1,600. The car has been repainted at some point in recent years and the quality is good. Invoices can be found in history folder for additional works stretching back and this clean example will be offered at auction with a fresh MoT test certificate, a light service and the original Porsche owner's pack.
1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL Transmission: automaticMileage:44428The 560 SL convertible was the latest in Mercedes-Benz's long and much loved line of luxury sports cars. Launched in 1983 it could trace its lineage back to the 230 SL of 1963. The 560 SL was powered by a 5.5 litre, overhead camshaft V8 engine producing 227bhp, an output good enough for a top speed of 220kmh with 100kmh reachable in around eight seconds. There were improvements to the running gear in the form of anti-dive, anti-squat rear suspension, a limited slip differential and revised steering geometry. The 560 SL has a high level of standard equipment, included leather upholstery, anti-lock braking, an anti-theft alarm system, stereo radio/cassette, leather trimmed steering wheel, gear lever and an improved climate control system.This good example of this sought-after model is presented in original European specification (not the US specification with ugly bumpers!) and was delivered new to Japan in 1988. It is presented in silver with black interior, factory hardtop and a black hood which we believe has never been used. This luxurious sports car also comes with its original Becker stereo, original books and service history, and was previously dry stored for 20 years and only recommissioned by the present owner recently. It has heated front seats, cruise control and climate control. These are rare cars and with low mileage, this represents a fine addition to any classic car stable.
2011 Land Rover 110 XS Defender Transmission: manualMileage:The Land Rover Defender was launched in 1948 and, incredibly, production only finished in January 2016 after a continuous run of 67 years. Outwardly, there is little to distinguish the post-1983 vehicles from the Series III Land Rover. A full-length bonnet, revised grille, plus the fitting of wheel arch extensions to cover wider-track axles are the most noticeable changes. Internally, coil springs offered a more comfortable ride and a permanent four-wheel drive system derived from the Range Rover featuring a two-speed transfer gearbox with a lockable centre differential. A modernised interior and a new series of progressively more powerful and modern engine characterised things under the skin. In August 2011, Land Rover announced an update of the Defender for the 2012 model year. By this time, Land Rover publicly acknowledged that it was working on a project to produce an all-new replacement for the Defender. Then in line for the 2012 models was the installation of a different engine Ford decided, due to cost reasons, not to modify the engine introduced in 2007 and so the engine was replaced with the ZSD-422 engine, essentially a 2.2-litre variant of the same engine.This fabulous 110 Defender was originally registered on 24th March 2011. It has just had some £36,000 spent on it turning the vehicle into a brute to drive. The engine has been replaced with a brand new 5.3 litre Corvette unit. This is mated to short-shift gearbox, the performance of this Defender is breathtaking and must be driven to be fully appreciated. Finished in metallic red with black part leather interior and featuring creature comforts like air conditioning and heated seats, additional equipment includes sidesteps and LED lights. It is easily apparent the vendor has left no stone unturned in creating this unique Land Rover. A mere 800 miles has been covered since the work was completed. A significant history folder accompanies this 110 Defender XS, including a V5C registration document and receipts for the work carried out, as an added bonus the car is ULEZ compliant.

1908 Renault Model VI 20/30 Landaulette Transmission: manualMileage:Founded by Louis Renault and his brothers Marcel and Fernand in 1898, the company that would become France's biggest automobile manufacturer started humbly enough, with a solitary 1¾hp De Dion-engined prototype, the sprung rear axle of which would soon be copied by many contemporaries. Production at the Billancourt factory was soon under way on a large scale, demand for its products being enhanced by the performance of Renault cars in the great inter-city races so popular in France at the turn of the 19th Century.From the outset Renault engineering was of the highest quality and the arrival of multi-cylinder models really put the company on the map. By 1904 Renault was building its own engines: large-capacity fours at first, followed by the AX twin that later developed into the AG, famous for its WWI role as the 'Taxi de la Marne'. Messrs Renault and Frères exhibited five different models at Olympia in 1905, ranging from the twin-cylinder 8/12hp AX to the four-cylinder 35/45hp model. The 14/20hp was powered by a conventional, four-cylinder side valve engine of a little over three litres capacity, and featured the traditional Renault 'coal-scuttle' bonnet, rear-mounted radiator, semi-elliptic suspension, rear-wheel brakes, cone clutch and a three-speed gearbox. This model was still in the range in 1909 as the 'BX', although the days of its 'paired cylinders' engine were numbered, and by this time was being built with a four-speed gearbox.This 20/30 VB model is a very well-presented example indeed. Fitted with its original body, which was built by Stareys & Woolleys of Nottingham, the Renault looks superb and has a wonderful patina throughout. Included in the sale is a sizeable history file containing invoices going back to the 1960's. The leather at the rear is believed to be original as is the majority of the vehicle with stamps on the body dated early 1900's. In very good running condition the Renault comes from a private collection and is ready to be used immediately.
2005 Land Rover 90 County TD5 Transmission: manualMileage:48250The Land Rover Defender was developed in the 1980s from the original Land Rover series that was launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show in April 1948. This four-wheel drive vehicle was the British equivalent of the American Willys Jeep. Built using a steel ladder chassis and aluminium bodywork the Defender gained a worldwide reputation for ruggedness and versatility.This 2005 Land Rover SWB 90 with the 2.5 litre diesel engine is presented in black with matching wheels sitting on nearly new Cooper tyres, new Corbeau seats to the front and the rear seats changed for standard Bearmach seats creating a six-seat configuration. The owner has upgraded the exterior of this example to include side steps, a new front bumper, upgraded wheels with spacers, Bearmach LED Lights fitted all round, wheel arch covers, MOMO steering, new wing mirrors, handbrake lever, new mudflaps, rear step and rear windows tinted, and towbar. To the cabin with the new seats, we also find a modern Pioneer Stereo with Apple Car Play capabilities; it displays a reversing camera when engaged, has upgraded speakers and an adjustable base box subtly behind the centre armrest. The centre armrest box with Union Jack is a new addition, which is also lockable. The underside has been cleaned and dried, underseal treatment carried out and rear trailing arm bushes replaced with poly-bushes. Showing a remarkable 48,250 miles from new the servicing schedule has been 2008, 2015, 2021 (April), and then again in May 2021 when the car was serviced and all upgrades fitted. Due to the popularity security hinges, made by Optimill, have been fitted to the front doors and bonnet. A hidden button has been fitted and the ignition will not turn unless this button has been pressed whilst turning the key. This is coupled with a factory fitted alarm with the fob unlocking all doors. MoT'd until January 2023 we are informed it starts perfectly every time, cruises comfortably at 60mph and has importantly not been de-restricted or chipped for extra horsepower. The engine is standard so the new owner can benefit from an unmolested 2495 TD5 engine.
2005 Dodge Ram SRT-10 Viper Transmission: manualMileage:72000This limited-edition sport pick-up was produced by Chrysler's Performance Vehicle Operations Division and used extensive wind tunnel testing. The outrageous power comes from the 8.3 litre, V10 found in the third generation Dodge Viper and can propel this quad-cab example to nearly 150mph. The SRT-10 also had a unique hood that featured a wide power bulge and honeycomb grille scoop which allowed cool air to enter as well as forcing hot air to exit from the engine bay, thus helping the engine to run cooler. A body-colour aluminium tonneau cover with an aerodynamic spoiler came standard on the quad-cab alongside four-speed automatic transmission and the 22" polished aluminium wheels fitted with Pirelli Scorpion P305/40R-22 performance tyres modelled after the 10-spoke wheels available on the infamous Viper.Imported directly into the UK in 2005 from the Kissimmee factory in the US, the servicing has been sporadic however we do have confirmation of a full service in 2010 and again in 2013. Indeed in 2011, all the wheels were removed, brakes inspected and new front pads fitted. Accompanying this extremely well-presented example is the owners pack complete with instruction manual and service book as well as two sets of keys. This rare and powerful pick-up will arrive in gleaming condition and an MoT test certificate valid until October this year.
1950 Bentley Mk. VI 4¼ litre Standard Steel Sports Saloon Transmission: manualMileage:63069B285GT was delivered in June 1950 to Consul-General Axel Johnson in Sweden straight from the factory and registered in Sweden as EJP-670. In 2007 it was acquired by a Mr. Gavel who made extensive modifications, including removing the original engine and fitting a B60 which was modified to accept a supercharger (photos on file). It was used for long distance touring fitted with an innovative roof rack - now removed as well as an overdrive. The car was also raced and so appeared in the Ray Roberts book 'Special Bentleys and Bentley Specials'. Towards the end of his ownership, Mr Gavel refitted the original engine (by then refurbished) to the car. B285GT was subsequently imported to the UK on the 28th June 2013. This example is presented with new East of England cloth headlining and on new, slightly oversized, tyres (205/80/16) which give a more comfortable ride. All wheels sport chrome and black painted discs in good order with additional spats available and included in this lot. The paintwork, overall, is in good condition although the wheel arches now show light signs of bubbling and corrosion commensurate with its age although nothing needing immediate attention. Both sills appear in good order as does the front and rear bumpers although one rear overrider shows damage. Both headlights uprated to halogen show good chrome and good parabolic reflectors. The with a re-chromed radiator and base-mounted badging near the centre spotlight.Whilst in Sweden, the nearside front wing had a side mounted spare wheel, this wing and bespoke wheel cover is included in the lot. The engine bay shows genuine care lavished upon it. The crankshaft damper has been rebuilt and the vehicle is fitted with a full flow oil filter, a new coil and the original torch still present. Both the engine and engine oil are clean and, we are informed, the oil is changed regularly. The interior has been re-carpeted and edged in leather throughout, including the boot. The door-cappings, dashboard and dash-top walnut veneers all appear to have been renewed and show in good order. The rear seating and all door cards have been recovered and all seating is firm and complete although the front seats do sport aftermarket leather covers. The blind is fully operational as are the Smith dials in the dashboard including the recently rebuilt clock. Inertia reel seat belts have been fitted as well as an additional tachometer plus a discreet panel under the dashboard which includes a USB port, hazard warning lights, overdrive and screen wash. The car is fitted with a towing eye to the front and a discrete tow bar and removable tow hookAdditionally, there is an aftermarket two-speed heater to assist this subtly modernised Bentley, although the original, fully working, unit is still fitted underneath the passenger seat alongside a battery isolator. It is reported to drive well, complete with overdrive, and the modifications certainly point towards and extremely usable example. It is supplied with the original owner's handbook and a complete workshop manual. It is also supplied with a trunk in need of some work and fine leather straps to secure this to the boot lid when dropped down.The car is only for sale due to the owner reducing his collection and will have been driven 100 miles to the auction.
1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:35390The Jaguar XK120 was manufactured between 1948 and 1954 and was Jaguar's first sports car since the SS100 which ceased production in 1940. The XK120 was launched in roadster form at the 1948 London Motor Show as a show car for the new Jaguar XK engine. It caused a sensation, thus persuading Jaguar founder and design boss William Lyons to put the car into production. The '120' in its name referred to its 120mph top speed which made the XK120 the world's fastest standard production car at the time of its launch. It was available in two open versions; first as the roadster, then also as a drophead coupé from 1953. It was also available as a closed, or 'fixed-head' coupé from 1951. With an alloy cylinder head and twin side-draft SU carburettors, the double overhead-cam 3.4 litre straight six XK engine was comparatively advanced for a mass-produced unit of the time. With a standard compression ratio of 8:1 it developed 160bhp. This same basic design of the XK engine, later modified into 3.8 litre and 4.2 litre versions, survived into the late 1980s. All XK120s had independent torsion bar front suspension, semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear, re-circulating ball steering, telescopically adjustable steering column and all-round 12-inch drum brakes.Manufactured on the 23rd May 1951 and dispatched to the first owner, Peter French, for the 14th June. This stunning XK120 roadster is presented in Silver with contrasting blood red trim and benefitted from a new hood frame, hood and side screens in 2016. Our vendor has owned this car since 2015 and has since treated the car to a full mechanical overhaul with RPS (Rally Preparation Services) in Oxfordshire, experts in their field. Between June 2019 and July 2021 this included stripping and overhauling the cylinder head converting to unleaded, a rebuilt steering box and culminated in a stripped and rebuilt gearbox a modified radiator and brake overhaul with detailed invoices in excess of £35,000. In period we are informed that this car competed with racing driver Billy Bradshaw and was successful winning the 1956 Walter Sexton Memorial Trophy and that a genuine C-Type head was purchased for the princely sum of £100 and fitted during this period (no longer with the car). Now a restored example with an original service manual and history folder with impeccable mechanical workmanship this car would be a fabulous addition to any collection and would be an ideal car for any XK enthusiast looking to enjoy the joy of driving these 50's sports cars.Interested parties should note that the C-Type head fitted in period when racing is no longer with this car.
1973 BMW 2002 Baur Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:78805The BMW 2002 series is important in the history of BMW for several reasons; not least of which being that it brought the company out of near bankruptcy in the 1960s and put BMW on the map in the United States. It was the ancestral grandfather to the BMW 3 Series and was produced from 1968 to 1976. German BMW importer Max Hoffman is credited with the car's creation. He had suggested to BMW's engineering director that a 2.0 litre engine should be installed into the small two-door 1602 to improve performance and emissions. The resulting 2002 (named after the new motor's displacement) was popular in its first year on sale. This BMW 2002 is one of only 354 examples manufactured in right hand drive format. Conversions on these outstanding vehicles were carried out by coachbuilder Karosserie Baur in Stuttgart. Baur retained a 'T' bar in the roof design helping to dramatically reduce any scuttle shake.This stunning 2002 convertible by Baur is presented in deep Atlantic Blue with contrasting houndstooth trim and presented in excellent order. Restored in the mid-90s by specialists Jaymic with modifications including five-speed BMW 5 series gearbox, electric power steering, Weber twin-choke 34-36 carburettor conversion complete with correct electric fuel pump, a Schrick cam, engine re-build in 2016 with electronic ignition and stainless steel exhaust system, re-built centre console with new dials and a modern sound system including Apple Play and bluetooth phone system. The bodywork has been restored and repainted, a new Targa top fitted and upholstery renovated with new 'original' houndstooth check cloth and blue vinyl imported from Germany. Sitting on original steel wheels and hubcaps with a fabulous Mountney steering wheel, the car is accompanied by a history file including photo records of the restoration works, a large file of invoices going back to 1991 and MoT records back to 1984 which suggests that the mileage is correct. The vendor informs us that during the summer of 2021 the odometer stopped working, although the speedometer is working correctly and few miles have been covered since, but this would benefit from replacing or repairing. A rare and desirable 2002 for which viewing is highly recommended.
1968 MGB Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:3279The MGB was launched in May 1962 to replace the MGA. Introduced as a four-cylinder roadster, a coupé with 2+2 seating was added in 1965. It was a relatively modern design at the time of its introduction, utilising a monocoque structure instead of the traditional 'body-on-frame' construction used on both the MGA and MG T-Types. The lightweight design reduced manufacturing costs while adding to overall vehicle strength. The performance was considered brisk at the time of its introduction aided by the relatively light weight of the car.Beautifully presented in Mineral Blue with as new black trim, this special MGB roadster has been subject to a full nut and bolt restoration and as such presents as one of the best we have seen. The supplied Heritage Certificate confirms this is a home market supplied example in its factory colours supplied by University Motors Limited and specified with wire wheels, a heater, Dunlop radial tyres, ashtray and folding hood. Dispatched 18th September 1968, commission number G23N/010599-F. The restoration was commissioned by a longstanding MG Owner's Club member who used the club to source all necessary parts and specialists. The engine was fully rebuilt alongside the gearbox and overdrive by Carlow engineering in 2008 before being fully balanced, this was the culmination of a restoration that began in 1994 when a new bodyshell was sourced and purchased from Moss. All receipts and bills from the restoration are in two folders, these show the significant expense and time taken to restore this fabulous British sports car to better than new and upon inspection we do not believe it would fail to impress any potential buyer.
1968 Alvis TF21 Transmission: manualMileage:137The three litre, series IV, TF21 was the last car produced by Alvis cars. An updated version of the 1963 TE21 was announced at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1966 and made until 1967. The body was a modified version of the TC108G styled by Graber of Switzerland but built by Mulliner Park Ward and was distinguished by having twin headlights mounted, one above the other, fixedhead coupé and convertible versions were available. The design was noted for its lack of bright side trim or creases moulded into the body parts and the windscreen was one-piece, curved and not too highly sloped. Externally, the car was identical to the TE21, but there were some changes to the suspension and, inside the car, the instruments were better organised. The 2993cc engine, first used in the 1950 TA21, had its power increased to 150bhp at 4750rpm by fitting triple SU carburettors giving the car a top speed of 120mph. A choice of automatic gearbox or a five-speed manual gearbox made by ZF was available.This Alvis TF is thought to be the penultimate one ever built. The last registered keeper, the late Tom Poole was a very interesting man. He sadly lost his sight at the age of 11, however, that did not stop him from qualifying as a lawyer and he was called to the bar in 1966. Eventually his attention turned to music and in particular piano tuning setting up the Cambridge Pianolo Company in Cambridge. Tom's other great passion was cars, he never let his loss of sight diminish his enthusiasm for owning cars and he purchased his first Alvis in 1968. PCH 617F was purchased by him some 40 years ago and stored in a barn. The current vendor purchased the Alvis from the estate some five years ago with a view to restoring the car to its former glory. However, time restraints and lifestyle have hindered the likelihood of this happening and he has decided to offer the car for sale. Whilst in need of a full and total restoration, this is a car with great historic value, particularly with Alvis aficionados and enthusiasts.
1987 Volkswagen Golf GTi Mk II 16V Transmission: manualMileage:38213The second generation of the Volkswagen Golf and the successor to the Mk.1 Golf, was launched in Europe at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1983, with sales beginning in its homeland and most other left-hand drive markets soon after. It debuted in March 1984 on the right-hand drive British market. It was Volkswagen's highest volume seller from 1983 and ended in (German) production in late 1992, to be replaced by the Golf Mk.3. The Mk.2 was larger than the Mk.1; its wheelbase grew slightly by 3.0 in, as did exterior dimensions length 7.1 in, width 2.2 in, height 0.2 in. Weight was up accordingly by about 260 lbs. Exterior design, developed in-house by VW design director Schäfer and kept the general lines of its Giugiaro-designed predecessor, but was slightly more rounded. The Mk.2 was supplied with a wider range of engine options, including a GTD turbodiesel using the 1.6 'umwelt' (ECO) diesel engine, a DOHC 1781cc 16-valve version of the straight-four GTI as well as the tried and tested 1781cc 8v GTI, All told, about 6.3 million second-generation Golfs were built.This lovely Mk. 2 Golf GTI V16 has only covered 38,200 miles from new. The first owner was a man who was employed as a quality engineer for Bentley Motors, he cherished the car so much that he had a fall out VW due to their "œlow standards," so he serviced the car himself and had a service stamp made in his own name. He was posted to Germany where he was to stay, unexpectedly, for several years. He took the car with him and registered there. He purchased a left-hand drive car with the same specification and used that while he was there. His next posting was to America, so he returned the car to Cheshire, and it was sold to a VW enthusiast. This car sports a host of factory fitted and very extensive options including leather steering wheel, heated driver's seat, electric mirrors, electric windows, central locking, front fog lights so the lights in the grill could be used as driving lights and a split fold rear seat. In 2016 it won 'Best of Show' at the Mk. 2 Owners Club rally at Curborough. Purchased by the current owner in 2019 and placed in his private collection. Finished in Stratos Blau metallic paintwork with stripped grey interior and is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in April 2023 and a file containing Service books and MoT history confirming the low mileage and shows that it has only covered 7,000 miles since 2006.
1996 Bentley Continental R built to Continental S Specification Transmission: automaticMileage:47400Since 1921, the Bentley name has been synonymous with prestige, performance, and luxury. The 'Continental' designation recalls the 1939 Bentley Continental. The 'R' resonates to the R-Type Continentals from the 1950s as well as the Turbo R of the 1980s. Bentley's resurgence in the 1980s relied exclusively on models shared with other Rolls-Royce cars; however, the Bentley Continental R was unique to the Bentley marque. Needless to say, the performance was outstanding with the combination of the Turbo R engine in the new wind-cheating shape. Produced only for 1995 model year, the Bentley Continental S was offered alongside the Continental R and was only available to established Bentley customers. Fitted with the same V8, 6.75 litre engine as the Continental R but it was also fitted with a Garrett turbocharger, liquid-cooler and revised induction system, which brought performance to an incredible 385bhp at 4100rpm. Performance was slightly improved over the Continental R, reaching 100 km/h from a standstill was achievable in 6.3 seconds, leading to an electronically limited top speed of 155mph. Just thirty-nine examples were built. After 1995 Bentley accepted special orders based on the Continental R but to full Continental S specification, and in some cases using the all the mechanicals as used in the first Continental T which reduced reaching 100km/h from a standstill to 6.0 seconds.This 1996 Bentley Continental is one of the special-order cars built to full Continental S specification for a Bentley client based in Hong Kong. It was probably the most expensive Bentley sold in 1996 with a bill for the car delivered to the Colony at a staggering £500,000. This Continental S has a large history file with extensive Bentley Hong Kong records, which show it having only three owners and only covering 47,400km (29,500 miles) from new. Imported by the current owner in 2017 when he retired and returned to live in Scotland. Finished in the classic Bentley colour Racing Green with Beige piped Spruce leather interior complemented with Spruce Green centre console and top roll, and Conifer carpets. Ordered with the lightest burr walnut veneer available at the time of the build. This very rare Continental is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in April 2023, the original handbooks and service book, spare keys and a file containing invoices from Bentley Hong Kong and sales brochures. This is one of the rarest Bentleys built not only with the attention to ultimate luxury and refinement but with an emphasis on power and grace.Interested parties should note that the odometer on the speedometer is not working so Historics cannot guarantee the mileage of 47,400 Kilometers.
1929 Morris Oxford Flatnose Doctors Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:This is one of two rare 1929 Morris Oxford Flatnose Doctors Coupé's which were, in the 1990's, part of a pre-war Morris collection owned by Donald Ridgley, who is believed to have carried out cosmetic restoration to both cars before they were sold to two different people. This is the second of the rare Morris Oxford Doctors Coupé with Dickie seat on offer. This car was purchased by the vendors husband in 2008 after being restored in the 1970s. Further work was then carried out by Donald Ridgley when in his ownership, and then the car had the engine rebuilt in 2002 after he had sold it. This rebuild included replacing the cylinder liners and fitting new pistons, regrinding the crankshaft, suppling second-hand con-rods, fitting new big end bearings and main bearings. This car was laid up due to ill health in 2011 after the owner had been a regular at Morris Car Club meetings. While not being used his son kept it well maintained and from 2018 took the car to Kop Hill climb a couple of times and the Henley Traditional Boat Rally which includes classic cars. To make sure that the car is running the best that it can it has recently had a new head gasket, the carburettor overhauled and the Dynostart fully reconditioned. Finished in red with black roof and black wings, and with a maroon interior, the car is supplied with a V5 registration document, a number of old logbooks going back to 1965, some invoices and a service manual. This is a car the buyer could use and slowly carry out a cosmetic restoration to the body in his own time.
1990 Mercedes-Benz 1000/560 SEC Transmission: automaticMileage:85432It is unsurprising that the original owner of this hugely powerful, luxury coupé decided to personalise this car to his own tastes. Not only is this example more aerodynamic than its predecessor but it carries a larger 5.6 litre, V8 engine and represented the official flagship for not only the S-Class range but for Mercedes-Benz altogether.Aftermarket conversions were not uncommon, mainly in Germany and the UK, by a range of tuning companies such as Robert Jankel Designs, Styling-Garage and Trasco. These were known as '1000 SEC' cars and usually carried the moniker to the rear. There were a number of options to choose from but, according to the owner, this 1000 SEC features an upgraded interior and dials as well as various body styling upgrades. The interior is in superb condition and the paintwork is also excellent. This example also carries split-rim alloy wheels all round with good rubber on each corner. The private owner has enjoyed the car for a number of years and notes that the car has been subject to regular oil changes and check-ups. It will arrive with a fresh one-year MoT test certificate, history file and light service.
