An exceptionally rare right-hand drive Dodge, sporting 'boat tail' coachwork fitted in Australia. A superb way into VSCC speed events at a very sensible estimate. John and Horace Dodge established their first machine shop in 1900, and their talents were quickly noticed by several pioneers of the early motor car — Ransom E. Olds and Henry Ford — whose companies bought engines, transmissions, and axles from the Dodge Brothers. By 1913, the brothers realized that they were capable of building their own automobile, an awareness that happily coincided with Henry Ford deciding to move production of his cars’ components in-house.The first Dodge Brothers car was delivered on 14th November 1914, and the company quickly became known for its fine engineering at a modest price. Only one model was available, a five-passenger touring, at a cost of $785. Word spread quickly of their reputation for producing a quality automobile. Although the Dodge Brothers were not known for being particularly innovative, they were first to use an all-steel, all-welded body in large-scale production. It is likely that more Dodge Brothers cars saw service overseas during WWI than any other manufacturer. By 1920, Dodge was second in industry sales, behind its former employer Ford.Sadly, both brothers died during 1920, leaving the company to their widows. The company dropped to fifth place in sales by 1925. The company was then sold to the New York banking house, Dillon, Reed & Company for $146,000,000, a record-setting transaction at the time. DR&C would in turn sell to Walter P. Chrysler in 1928, who established the marque as its Dodge Division.Dating from 25th July 1922, this Dodge Brothers Model 30 is a right-hand drive example destined for the British Empire market and originally exported to Australia as a running chassis (at the time it was not possible to import complete cars). On its arrival, it was fitted with a body of unknown type and, much later, refitted with the boat-tail 'Roadster' bodywork that the car wears today. It remained in Australia until 2006 when it was exported to the UK.Within the history file is a letter from the Dodge Brothers Club to a David Parker of West Sussex confirming that the car 'would be considered a '22 Series' and that the numbers appear correct and that the car has the correct engine. It's stamped with a DVLA Brighton stamp confirming its UK-registration number, BF 6085.This is a good-looking little roadster with a fascinating history and would be a great way into VSCC speed events at a very sensible estimate.SpecificationMake: DODGEModel: FOURYear: 1922Chassis Number: 752022Registration Number: BF 6085Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 796256 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Supplied new by Henlys in late 1934, this well-travelled SS1 is fresh from long-term ownership and appears to only need some light recommissioning.Forerunner of the 'Jaguar' marque, 'SS' originally stood for the Swallow Sidecar & Coachbuilding Company, which had been founded in Blackpool, England by William Walmsley in 1922. The company branched out into motor manufacture in 1926, its first major success being an attractive sports saloon on the Austin Seven chassis. The design was the work of Walmsley's business partner, William Lyons, whose future Jaguar creations would confirm his reputation as one of the British motor industry's most gifted stylists. The SS1, launched in 1932, is a close-coupled coupé based on the Standard Ensign 16hp. The chassis and body were designed by Lyons; a long bonnet, tiny passenger compartment and helmet-type front wings imply the ultimate in high performance of the time and this is what ultimately created a blueprint for Jaguars of the future, combining sporting good looks with a better-than-average specification. Indeed, so successful was Lyons' new venture that production of Swallow-bodied cars ceased altogether in 1933, and SS Cars Limited was formed, initially as a subsidiary of the Swallow sidecar-building business.For 1934 the SS1 gained a new wide-track chassis and slightly enlarged Standard engines of 2,143cc and 2,663cc, while the body - now available in four different configurations - underwent yet another restyle. In this, its final form, the SS1 remained in production until 1936, by which time 2,503 examples of this ultimate version had been made.The final assembly of this Swallow Sports One (SS1) Tourer on to its Standard Motor Company rolling chassis (#245816) was completed on the 17th December 1934 and, as a late 1934 Model, it benefited from a wider track and a synchromesh gearbox. Finished in Birch Grey with a green interior and a green soft top and powered by a 2,663cc 68bhp straight-six. It was despatched to Henlys, registered MG 3624 and onward to a, rather proud we imagine, Mr L Garton of Surrey.Within the history file there is a ‘Buff’ logbook which lists a further four owners, the last one being a Mr Michael Roberts of Huddersfield, who appears to have written a running commentary on the maintenance of the car from 1981 until 1985. The car at this point was painted red, so presumably had been refinished between 1934 and his purchase.There appears to be a small gap in the car’s history until 1994/5 when it was exported to Germany when its keeper is listed as Herr Frederick Rausch of Langscheid. There is a raft of invoices for works completed between then and c.2008 along with some photographs detailing what looks like an engine rebuild. At this point the car carried the registration plate MK 06333. The SS then returned to the UK and joined a large private Collection, where it remained until recently. We are unsure of exactly when the car’s current silver and silver grey two-tone finish was applied, but it still presents well today. The odometer is reading 8,692 miles which we assume is 108,692 but can’t warrant.The lovely period interior is trimmed in Burgundy Leather with Art Deco ‘sunburst’ door cards and sports its original steering wheel and dashboard including the combined 100mph speedometer and 5,000rpm tach. Externally, the car is just what you would hope to find with decent silver/silver grey paintwork, running boards, chrome wire wheels wrapped in Firestone ‘whitewall’ tyres, a fold-down windscreen, big Lucas 165 headlamps and a chrome badge bar with an early AA badge.The SS is supplied with a large A4 history file containing details of previous keepers, old MOTs etc. and, as mentioned earlier, a lot of information from Herr Rausch during his ownership. Having been in storage for several years, the car will require a certain amount of recommissioning and we invite and encourage interested parties to view this lovely 1930s Tourer and form their own opinion.SpecificationMake: SWALLOWModel: SS1Year: 1934Chassis Number: 248516Registration Number: MG 3624Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 248501Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 8692 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Burgundy LeatherClick here for more details and images

Less than 4,400 miles in the last 46 years, four prior keepers and a careful restoration in the past, this is just what you had hoped to find.After having been in the coachbuilding business for four years with a range of special bodies on other manufacturers’ chassis, by 1931 William Lyons and the Swallow Company felt ready to launch their own brand of car. A ‘teaser’ campaign of advertising under the by-line, ‘Wait! – The SS is coming’ ran in the motoring magazines in the period up to the 1931 Motor Show. The new cars were finally unveiled on 9 October 1931.Although still making use of chassis, engines and components supplied by the Standard Company, Lyons’ new cars were very different from the earlier Standard Swallows. There were two models, the six-cylinder SS1 with 16hp or 20hp engines, and the SS2 with a four-cylinder 9hp engine of 1,006cc. The SS1 had a specially designed chassis, while the smaller car used a Standard Little Nine chassis.Both SS2 models had similar styling, with coupé bodies, dummy hood irons on blind rear quarters, and helmet type wings, but the larger car looked more impressive with its immensely long bonnet. A range of striking colour schemes was available for both models. Priced at £310, the SS1 was labelled as ‘the car with the £1,000 look’. The SS2 was even more reasonably priced, at £210, but naturally offered more modest performance, with a top speed of 60mph (96kmh) against the 75mph (120kmh) of its bigger brother.The SS2 was manufactured for two years in this form, and total production during this period was 550 cars. Survivors of this early type are now very rare. At the end of 1933, the Series 2 was introduced with a new longer wheelbase chassis, revised styling with flowing wings and a choice of bigger engines although still Standard side-valve units, of either 1,343cc (10HP) or 1,608cc (12HP). This revised model was also available in Saloon and Tourer form. It continued in production until 1935, and a total of 1,800 SS2 cars of all types were made of which only 154 were Series 2 Coupés.ATT 39 was originally registered on 31st December 1934 finished in Dual Green, according to the original 'Buff' logbook within the car's history file. The later green logbook lists the car as being black so it's assumed that the colour was changed within this period. Also within the file there are 14 old MOT certificates, the oldest being 1977 with the newest being 2007. There are a few invoices for work carried out but not many, however there is a Bill of Sale for ATT 39 in 2012 for the sum of £36,000. Showing 4,377 miles on the odometer, therefore assumed to be 104,377, and interestingly, looking back at the old MOTs, the mileage goes back to 00003 in 1978 and gradually moves forward to its current 4,377 showing that, in reality, the car has covered just 4,374 miles in the last 46 years. We can also see from the file that, prior to our vendors, it has had four keepers from new.Looking at the condition of the car, both internally and externally, it's clear that at some point this SS2 has been carefully restored, which fits with the owner prior to the Collection having paid £36,000 for it just over ten years ago. The car sits really well and the black paintwork and black fabric seem excellent if a bit dusty. The engine bay is tidy and would be enjoyable to detail and bring up to scratch, and the interior is lovely with great red leather seating, 'sunburst' door cards, very good carpets and that classic wooden dashboard with its well presented Jaeger instruments is a delight.A really good example of a rare car which, with a couple of days fettling, could be back on the show circuit.SpecificationMake: SWALLOWModel: SS2Year: 1934Chassis Number: 300486Registration Number: ATT 39Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 300486Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 4377 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Red LeatherClick here for more details and images

Offered from the Cooke Collection, this smart 1-tonne drop-side truck has been in their ownership since 1977. An older restored example, it's running and driving well and ready to be used. Pure nostalgia.Morris Motors had offered a commercial derivative of its first passenger car, the Oxford, prior to World War I and, by the 1920s, the company wanted to expand its model range into heavier commercial vehicles. In 1924 Morris Commercial Cars Ltd. was formed when William Morris took over the factory of axle manufacturer, E.G. Wrigley & Co. Ltd, in Soho, Birmingham.By 1938, Morris Commercial was a household name, building vehicles for commercial use in a variety of shapes and sizes. On of the most successful was the 1,800cc four-cylinder 1-Tonne Truck, bought in their thousands by small and medium sized businesses.This rather smart example was purchased for the Cooke Collection in 1977 and restored by the Collection's in-house team during the 1980s. It's finished in traditional coach painted Brown with a green canvas 'tilt', sits on yellow artillery wheels and is fitted with a tow-bar. The drop-sides have been sign-written 'The Coach House - Vintage Museum and Workshops' and the tidy interior is finished in red vinyl.It's been on display in the Museum for many years enjoying the occasional trip out to a show. We understand that it's running and driving well and is ideal for Historic Commercial Vehicle runs and events.

Fully restored in the past, this is a fine, large-engined Vintage car in excellent running order and fitted with very rare coachwork.'The 20/60 was considered by many to be far superior to the Rolls Royce 20hp at a chassis price some 25% less, and it is recorded that Henry Royce communicated from his home in Le Canadel in the South of France to those in Derby, 'keep an eye on what is going on at Sunbeam's, with a particular regard to this model.' - Bruce Dowell, Sunbeam: The Supreme CarThe arrival of designer Louis Coatalen at Sunbeam in 1909, and the pursuit of an effective competitions programme, enabled Sunbeam to establish a formidable reputation prior to WWI, its superbly made products enjoying a reputation rivalling that of the best from Alvis and Bentley thereafter.Introduced at the 1923 Olympia Motor Show and priced at £950 for the tourer model, the first 20hp Sunbeam of the post-war era enjoyed a production life in its initial form of only two years, being superseded by a new Twenty in 1926. The first Twenty featured a stout chassis frame and was powered by a 3,181cc overhead-valve 'six. This engine retained separate cylinder block and crankcase castings, and was fed by a Claudel Hobson carburettor mounted on the off-side while the auxiliaries, including water pump, dynamo and magneto, sat on the near-side. The right-hand change gearbox incorporated four forward speeds and reverse gear, with 'torque tube' drive to the rear axle, while the Twenty's suspension was typical of the day, with half-elliptic springs at the front and cantilever springs at the rear. According to Dowell, only 1,560 of the early-type Twenty were produced, of which only 45-or-so survive.Most of Sunbeam's 20/60 models were bodied at the factory, however this elegant example has been 'suited and booted' by Brainsby of Peterborough. There were several other Sunbeams bodied by Brainsby in this period, but most were open tourers, making this Doctors Coupé a notable exception. The coachwork is rakish and desirable with the hood easily folding back for convertible motoring and to the rear is a spacious dickey seat for two additional passengers.The car was subject to a body-off restoration in the late 1980s with a photographic record being kept, and since then it's has been used at home and abroad including an ascent of the mighty Stelvio pass in Italy. During recent ownerships, it's been continually fettled and improved. The recipient of substantial expenditure, and it shows. It's finished in a verdant leaf green over a lovely shade of pastel green and the black hood is well-lined, in good order and folds back easily after releasing two catches. The interior is upholstered in a lovely burgundy leather throughout, with just the right amount of ageing to feel like a favourite arm chair, and the woodwork is equally fine with a dashboard that extends forwards to the delightfully raked Vee windscreen. A large Klaxon is fitted to the bulkhead next to an original brass Pyrex fire extinguisher, with a more modern item stowed in the tool box that sits atop the nearside running board. Under the bonnet, the 3-litre six is well detailed and tidy and we understand starts readily and exhibits really strong performance running easily in modern traffic.This is a fine, rare, large-engined vintage car that appears to be in first-rate running condition with a strong, powerful engine and far more sporting character than an equivalent Rolls-Royce of the period. It's a good looking car fitted with rare, possibly unique, coachwork and would be welcome anywhere.SpecificationMake: SUNBEAMModel: 20/06 SHORT CHASSIS DROPHEAD COUPÉYear: 1925Chassis Number: 1704EDRegistration Number: RK 3517Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 1795DDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Burgundy LeatherClick here for more details and images

One of only two Vanden Plas Allweather Tourers built as a special-order for His Highness the Jam Sahib of Nawanagar, an important 'Maharaja' car.Lanchester displayed an impressive array of cars at the Olympia Motor Show in October 1930, however, just weeks later financial troubles culminated in the company’s bank calling in its overdraft of £38,000 forcing immediate liquidation of the company’s assets. A buyer was sought by the bank and, given the company’s proximity to BSA’s Armourer Mills in Sparkbrook, a sale to BSA seemed a perfect fit. The acquisition was completed in January 1931 for just £26,000, significantly lower than the value of the firm’s assets, however, despite promises to the contrary, BSA aggressively asset-stripped the Lanchester factory and moved production to Sandy Lane in Coventry, the home of Daimler.George Lanchester’s services were retained as a Senior Designer with Frank becoming the Sales Director and the reborn company’s first new model, the Lanchester Eighteen was designed by George but, in reality was a version of the Daimler Light Twenty as was to be the case with the following models.Lanchester’s customers were particularly loyal and weren’t impressed with, what we would now call, 'badge engineering'. One fiercely loyal customer was His Highness the Maharajah Ranjitsinhji, the Jam Sahib of Nawanagar (known to his friends as Ranji). Ranji fell in love with the Lanchester marque when he went to play cricket in India in the early 1900s, during the days of the British Raj. He befriended Lanchester brothers Frederick and George, who were the first to manufacture an all-British car in 1896 and shared their enthusiasm for this new form of transport. He bought his first Lanchester, a 9kW two-cylinder model, in 1904 and after that, whenever a new model was introduced, at least one was shipped to India to add to his collection.We have no record of Ranji’s expanding fleet of Lanchesters (no doubt there will be one somewhere) apart from #3462, a 1936 Daimler V-type chassis bodied by Vanden Plas and 'dressed' as a Lanchester which was gifted to Ranji’s great nephew, Maharaja Durgapratapsinh, as an 18th birthday present in 1964 and which came up for auction in New Zealand in 2010.The arrival of World War II changed everything and Lanchester look-alike, Daimlers, were no longer steaming their way across the Indian Ocean. However, in 1946, Ranji felt the need to add a couple of more cars to his fleet. The war-hardened management at Daimler were not really in the mood to start painting cars in Cambridge Blue (all Ranji’s cars were painted in that colour as that’s where he went to University) and have their diminished number of time-served craftsmen spend time creating special grilles etc. to turn their DE 27s into a Lanchester model that never existed but, inevitably, they capitulated as long as Ranji ordered four.Four DE 27, 4-litre, six-cylinder Daimlers (coded LE27) were duly commissioned with two of them, chassis numbers #51049 and #51050, being bodied by Vanden Plas as ‘Allweathers’ (Body nos. 4031 and 4032) and LE27, -#51050, is the car we are privileged to be able to offer today.We now move forward over 40 years when it appears that #51050 returned to the UK and was first registered as KYM 544 on 20/09/88. It was subsequently purchased by Gerry Wheeler, our vendor’s late father on 1/02/2008 and there is a photograph within the history file of the car on a trailer, finished in cream and red, and looking a bit sorry for itself. There followed a gentle restoration to Gerry’s particularly high standards over several years returning the car to top form prior to it joining the family’s fleet of very impressively-presented vintage and PVT cars available for special occasions, birthdays, proms, and weddings etc.As you can see from our images, the Lanchester has been returned to Cambridge Blue with Royal Blue wings and detailing and a matching soft-top. The interior has been fully retrimmed and re-upholstered in a delightful pastel blue leather and is now ‘Maharajah’ quality. With a fleet of around 20 early cars and having fully restored it, all maintenance and servicing requirements were carried out in-house.The car is accompanied by its current V5C, old insurance and DVLA documents, a variety of MOTs with the oldest from 1988, wiring diagrams, correspondence and a number of photographs.We understand that #51050’s LE27 Allweather twin sister #51049 was shipped to the USA in the 1990s and, assuming it still survives, it would be wonderful to reunite them at Pebble Beach one day. We invite and encourage your inspection of this rather special ‘Maharajah’ car to appreciate the quality on offer.SpecificationMake: LANCHESTERModel: LE27Year: 1945Chassis Number: 51050Registration Number: KYM 544Transmission: pre selectorEngine Number: 1254778Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Pastel Blue leatherClick here for more details and images

A hugely competitive, exceptionally handsome example of one of the last Riley Specials built by guru Keith Pointing, with a recent £7,000 mechanical rejuvenation.Riley is a name steeped in the history of legendary sporting road cars, boasting a legacy of triumphs in competition, rivalling esteemed marques like Bentley, Aston Martin, and HRG. The 12/4 was first unveiled at the 1934 Olympia Motor Show and continued the success of its predecessor, the Nine, by harnessing the power of an outstanding Percy Riley-designed twin-cam engine. The enlargement to 1.5-litres and ingenious modification resulted in a remarkable 51bhp output, granting the 12/4 a top speed exceeding 70mph – an impressive feat within its class. The model was offered with three distinctive body options: the sleek and streamlined Kestrel, the upright Falcon saloon, and the open-top Lynx, paired with a choice of a standard manual or a pre-selector gearbox.In 1936, the 12/4 was rebranded as the 1½-Litre, and its highly tuneable power unit continued in production until 1955, when the RME model met its end. This incredible 12/4 Special, a testament to Riley expertise, was crafted by the renowned specialist Keith Pointing in the late 1990s to early 2000s. Configured as a hill-climb special/VSCC competition racer, it showcases a bespoke, lightweight aluminium body, finished in a striking red hue, displaying a few character marks that add to its charm. Inside, the car's interior is remarkably pretty yet purposeful with its Jaeger instruments and metal panelling.At the heart of this racing marvel is its 1½--litre engine, featuring twin camshafts set at an innovative 45-degree angle, coupled with a crossflow head. The engine's power has been further enhanced by a Stage Two cylinder head upgrade, complemented by an ENV pre-selector gearbox that ensures seamless and quick gear changes. Having participated in numerous prestigious events across the Continent including Angoulême and Pau, this extraordinary machine has gathered an impressive collection of silverware and proudly exhibits some of its race entry stickers. Its impeccable condition and well-documented history, chronicling its journey from inception to victory make it a truly unique and cherished piece of automotive history.Always under the ownership of dedicated enthusiasts, the car has been cherished and maintained with precision with a plethora of bills for parts and invoices for work undertaken since its transformation into the hill-limb special. Most recently, completed on 18/07/23, £7,500 has been spent with Riley specialists Blue Diamond for a front-to-back mechanical rejuvenation where required to ensure the car is mechanically excellent for sale. The car's extensive history file stands as a testament to its impeccable provenance, accompanied by VSCC papers, preserving its pedigree and authenticity. The file is replete with captivating photographs capturing its transformation, press cuttings, racing and rally participation records, old MOTs and tax discs, and race reports highlighting its illustrious past. A tonneau cover and spare cylinder head are included.This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a very fast Riley, backed by the reputable Keith Pointing name and with significant recent investment, offering a chance to continue its legacy and bring home more trophies.SpecificationMake: RILEYModel: 12/4 SPORTS SPECIALYear: 1936Chassis Number: S26K3784Registration Number: MJ 9694Transmission: ManualEngine Number: SK3784 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

A high-quality, powerful Edwardian touring car - which has been completely restored in recent years - ideal for Veteran Car Club and Vintage Sports-Car Club Light Car and Edwardian events.Although long since departed, Wolseley was one of Britain's foremost car makers throughout the Edwardian period and into the 1920s, even though it was originally founded by Irish-born Frederick York Wolseley in Sydney, Australia in 1887 to manufacture sheep-shearing equipment. Two years later a subsidiary was set up in Birmingham, England where works manager, Herbert Austin, would be responsible for the first Wolseley motor car, a three-wheeler built on Léon Bollée lines, in 1896.Early Wolseleys featured horizontal engines, but it was with the arrival of vertical-engined multi-cylinder cars in the Edwardian era that Wolseley earned its reputation for finely engineered, smooth and powerful transport. By this time, Herbert Austin had left to pursue his own career and his place was taken by John D Siddeley whose own company, taken over by Wolseley in 1904, had been making vertical-engined cars based on the French Peugeot. Siddeley forged ahead with an ever-expanding range of vertical-engined models which, for the next few years, were marketed under the 'Wolseley-Siddeley' name, reverting to plain 'Wolseley' after Siddeley's departure in 1911. By now the company was among the leading British car makers, active also in such diverse fields as commercial vehicles, marine and aero-engines, and other engineering activities. Wolseleys had Royal patronage – HM Queen Alexandra had several of the marque, and they were exported in large numbers to Australia, Canada, India and New Zealand. Wolseleys were also built under licence by the Wolsit company in Italy. Operations at Crayford ceased in 1908, but the Adderley Park factory was extended several times and was one of the largest car factories in Europe.The car offered here (20331) is an example of Wolseley's 4,961cc, six-cylinder, side-valve engined 24/30hp, an up-market model produced between 1911 and 1915. It is one of a number of barn find, early Wolseleys unearthed in Canada in the early 1960s by Charles G. Neville and the whole story is recounted in Neville's book, Wolseleys in Canada 1900-1920. Chapter 15 of the book deals with the discovery of 20331, its rescue from the barn, research into its early history and the next 30 years. The car's first owner was a Dr Oscar Pelham Edgar, Head of the French Department, Victoria College, University of Toronto and it was sold some 15 years later to the Bowyers family of Erskine Avenue, also in Toronto, and this fascinating story is well-documented by Charles Neville.He was to own the car until 2008, when it was believed to have been purchased by Richard Eastmead (ex-President of the Veteran Car Club of GB - VCC) who, we understand, partially restored the Wolseley (chassis, axles, engine, gearbox and steering box etc.). The restoration was finished by the car's previous owner with much of the ash frame being restored/replaced, a new steel body formed and finished in Midnight Blue, the interior superbly trimmed in button-back Navy Blue leather and all finished with a new hood and tonneau cover. When purchased by our vendor around a year ago, the carburettor needing setting up as the car was not running cleanly, however along with a number of other small jobs this has been attended to and it now runs particularly well. It's fitted with a transmission brake which is foot-operated, aided by a hand-operated brake lever and, we understand, the car now stops as well as it goes. Our vendor has enjoyed this venerable Wolseley on local events and trips to the pub, but a change of plans means that it's now available.BF 9725 is a fine Edwardian touring car, ideal for Veteran Car Club and VSCC Light Car and Edwardian events, and very sensibly-guided considering the quality and versatility on offer.SpecificationMake: WOLSELEYModel: M6 24/30HPYear: 1913Chassis Number: 20331Registration Number: BF 9725Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 5500Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Blue leatherClick here for more details and images

Following World War I, Rolls-Royce abandoned the ‘one model’ policy they had previously employed, and sought to expand within the luxury top tier echelons of the motor car industry and in 1922 the all-new 20hp or Twenty was introduced to their lineup alongside the simply fabulous 40/50hp Silver Ghost.The Twenty was built to reflect Henry Royce’s interest in contemporary trends within the American motor car industry, incorporating a singular construction of engine and gearbox, and featuring the modern innovation of a central ball change gearbox and a 'Hotchkiss drive' rear axle. The smooth and silent 3,127cc inline six-cylinder engine benefitted from being Rolls-Royce's first engine with overhead valves. While the car was well received overall, the three-speed, central change transmission was not well liked, so in 1925 the Twenty was reintroduced with four-wheel, servo-assisted brakes and importantly, a four-speed gearbox with a right-hand, gated gearchange.The 20hp was initially produced to target owner-drivers, but many were sold to customers with chauffeurs, somewhat expected with their clientele at the time. Only the chassis and mechanical parts were made by Rolls-Royce with the bodywork created and fitted by a coachbuilder selected by the owner.This, right-hand drive example, was purchased new, in rolling chassis form, on 31st January 1927 by Mrs A L Sylvester, a resident of the Plaza Hotel, New York and shipped to the USA aboard the SS Laconia. GAJ 15 wears unusual Panel Brougham de Ville coachwork by the respected coachbuilder Brewster, a company acquired by Rolls-Royce of America Inc. in December 1925.Presenting in simply fabulous condition, this wonderful example retains its original body and is one of just two built on the 20hp chassis. Credited to Henry Peter, 1st Baron Brougham and Vaux (1778-1868), this style of bodywork is noted for its formal upright and square appearance with a forward curving swage line in front of the rear compartment doors. This style was commonly seen on horse-drawn carriages of the time and, when the motorcar was introduced, many carriage designs were simply adapted by coachbuilders to accommodate an engine at the front as opposed to horses. This formal style is often referred to as a Town Car and would likely have been used for taking the owner(s) to the theatre or opera or other formal occasions. The well presented brightwork is nickel silver, and the style of the vertically striped paintwork is known as Dutch Pink although, in this case, it's undoubtedly red and not pink.Reportedly by Fabergé, the door furniture in the cabin is silver and enamel. The grey cord upholstery is not believed to be original, however, it presents well and the pull-down blinds are silk, albeit expectedly fragile. To confirm the high level of opulence, there is a speaking tube for the passengers to communicate with the chauffeur who sits on black leather seating. The solid artillery wheels present well. GAJ 15 changed hands five times whilst in the USA and was resident in the Powers Automobile Museum in Connecticut in the 1940s and '50s. The car returned to the UK in 1991 and soon after its arrival the engine was stripped and rebuilt before being stored between 2000 and 2005.Within the car's history file there is a list of all its owners in the USA up to and including the immediately preceding owner in the UK. Other documentation includes copies of the original Order Form and Chassis cards, photocopied literature, a quantity of old MOTs and tax discs, copies of previous registration documents, a current V5C and a most impressive quantity of bills for works carried out and parts purchased whilst with previous owners. The car has benefitted from some gentle recommissioning in our vendor's ownership having been purchased from an elderly gentleman who sadly wasn't able to maintain it due to failing health.This exceptional motor car comes complete with tools, jack, hubcap tool, rim lever and special grease gun, etc., all housed under the front seats and has a period-correct, Flying Lady mascot on a correct cap. It also comes with an original instruction book, a full set of keys for ignition, bonnet locks, rear compartment, and the padlocks on the spare wheels and the fuel can. Side-screens for the front compartment are kept in a black bag in the rear compartment. This car is featured in several publications including Rolls-Royce in America by John Webb de Campi; The Rolls-Royce Twenty by John Fasal, and Coachwork on Rolls-Royce by Lawrence Dalton. A die-cast scale model of this particular car has been made by Top Marques of Honiton and an example is included in the sale.With the other car bodied in this style still residing in the USA, and with both examples being owned by the same family in the 1960s, this is a fabulous opportunity to own a very special motor car that epitomises why Rolls-Royce were considered, and remain, the 'Best Car in the World'.SpecificationMake: ROLLS-ROYCEModel: 20HP PANEL BROUGHAM DE VILLEYear: 1927Chassis Number: GAJ15Registration Number: BF 4349Transmission: ManualEngine Number: D5WDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 1 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black/Grey Click here for more details and images

A fully restored and show-winning example of Chevrolet's much-admired Series AE DeLuxe Sport Roadster.The Chevrolet Series BA Confederate was manufactured by Chevrolet in 1932 to replace the 1931 Series AE Independence. The BA carried over much from the Series AE and by model-year 1932, Chevrolet offered 14 different body style choices, which were all supplied by Fisher Body. The choices were now separated into ‘Standard’ and ‘DeLuxe’ with the distinguishing feature being that on either side of the bonnet the previous louvres were replaced by opening vents, finished in a distinctive chrome on DeLuxe models.Touted by Chevrolet as ‘The Great American Value’, its 1932 passenger car line-up offered outstanding roadworthiness and durability, the two most important features to Americans looking to stretch scarce dollars in the midst of the Great Depression. Mechanically, the new Chevy was nothing if not robust; it used the high-torque 194 cu in (3,180cc) ‘Stovebolt’ inline six-cylinder engine (formerly the province of the company’s higher-priced 1920s models) but now upgraded with a downdraught carburettor (for improved throttle response) and a higher compression ratio to produce 60bhp, complementing that with a counterbalanced crank for smoother running. A 3-speed synchro-mesh transmission was fitted, and a free-wheeling mode called ‘Wizard Control’ was standard, which permitted the car to coast when the driver's foot was lifted from the accelerator. In addition, there were four-wheel brakes and five chassis crossmembers for increased rigidity and a more solid feel.Chevrolet also benefited from the talents in its Art & Colour Department, whose designers from the coachbuilding industry added such stylish details as the bonnet vents and Cadillac-inspired front grille.The car presented here is a fully-restored 1932 Chevrolet (Series BA) Confederate DeLuxe Sport Roadster coming from the small private collection of a Somerset enthusiast and gentleman, renowned for his passion, skill and eye-for-detail when it comes to older American cars. The car was sourced by him from the US and shipped back to his workshop, where a ground-up restoration commenced. No area was left untouched, with all processes carried out properly, methodically and to the highest standards. Specialisms such as painting and trimming were outsourced to trusted individuals, all combining to great effect. The car was a true labour-of-love and went on to win at numerous Concours events and shows, the quality of it evident to all. Sadly, the Collection was sold off to other enthusiasts before the gentleman passed away. This Sport Roadster was one of his favourites, but now it must be sold too, being diligently overseen by his widow and family friends.This stylish Sport Roadster is a rare sight on UK-roads, but turns-heads like no other car, so be ready to chat about it! It's freshly serviced and absolutely ready for 1930s, US-style, top-down open-road motoring.SpecificationMake: CHEVROLETModel: DELUXE SPORT ROADSTERYear: 1932Chassis Number: AE21Registration Number: KSL 171Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 2316835 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: GreenClick here for more details and images
