1937 Austin Seven Ruby Saloon Registration no. CCG 420 Chassis no. 272440 Engine no. M273605•Long-term previous ownership of 40 years•An older restoration•Restoration bills on file•Said to run and drive exceptionally wellFootnotes:A huge success from the moment deliveries commenced in January 1923, the Austin Seven remained in production until 1939. Simply constructed, economical and easily maintained by the home mechanic, the Seven brought motoring within the financial reach of the man in the street, who hitherto would probably have settled for a motorcycle combination. Its introduction helped save the ailing Austin concern and by the mid-1920s the Seven dominated the light car market in Britain. In essence the Seven changed little in the course of its 17 years in production, retaining the 'A'-frame chassis, transverse front spring, rear quarter elliptics and four-cylinder sidevalve engine to the end. There were, of course, numerous detail improvements along the way, a longer wheelbase, roomier bodies, coupled brakes and a three-bearing crankshaft to name but four. The sole version available when production commenced was the 'Chummy' tourer. Saloon, fabric saloon and coupé models, plus a roomier tourer, were on offer by 1929. One of the first Austin Seven saloons was the 'Top Hat', so called because of its upright, formal-looking, straight-sided coachwork, which was panelled in aluminium to save weight and boasted elaborate cloth interior trim, and unusual feature in a British car at the time. The introduction of the Ruby in 1934 marked an important step in the development of Austin's ever-popular light car. New body styles featured flowing lines, valanced wings and taller, cowled-in radiators; the wheel size was reduced from 19' to 17' diameter, flush-fitting self-cancelling trafficators were fitted and synchromesh was now present on second as well as third and top gears. Alongside the two Ruby saloons in the new-for-1935 range were the Pearl Cabriolet, the Opal two-seater (the first £100 Austin) and the Open Road Tourer. A recent acquisition by the vendor, this Austin Seven comes with numerous bills testifying to considerable expenditure over some 40 years with the previous owner. The Ruby was restored around 20 years ago by a firm in the South of England, with over £11,000 being spent (see bills on file for parts supplied by Holmesdale Sevens). Said to run and drive exceptionally well, the car is offered with an old-style logbook, a V5C Registration Certificate and some old MoTs.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1984 Citroën 2CV Special Saloon Registration no. B167 MBY Chassis no. VF7AZKA00KA075926 Engine no. 0904029402•One of the 20th Century's greatest automobiles•High quality restored by the vendor 2018-2022•Restoration photographic record available•'Concours' conditionFootnotes:'The most intelligent application of minimalism ever to succeed as a car.' - LJK Setright on the Citroën 2CV.Ranking alongside the Volkswagen Beetle, Mini, and Land Rover as one of the classic mass-produced cars of the post-war era, Citroën's quirky 2CV debuted in 1948 and would remain in production for an unprecedented 42 years. The 2CV (two horsepower) had been conceived in the late 1930s by Citroën's Vice-President Pierre Boulanger, who saw France's farming community, many of whom were still using the horse and cart, as an untapped market for such a vehicle. Combining innovative engineering and straightforward, utilitarian bodywork, the 2CV was cheap to both run and maintain. An important attribute, particularly given the target market, was its amazing ability to cross a freshly ploughed field, courtesy of long-travel front/rear inter-connected suspension.Its development interrupted by WW2, the 2CV provided much needed basic transport in the period of post-war austerity and would outlive its humble beginnings, going on to attain cult status as the favoured car of the environmentally concerned motorist. Although the original 375cc air-cooled flat-twin engine grew, eventually, to 602cc, the 2CV's performance remained modest at around 70mph flat-out, not that that concerned the majority of its devotees for whom the roomy interior, full-length sunroof and frugal fuel consumption were of far greater importance. The 2CV was built in civilian, military and commercial versions, the latter - a small delivery van - being known as the 'Fourgonette', which was first seen in 1951. It was a sad day for many when the last French-built 2CV left the Levallois factory in 1988, although production continued in Portugal for two more years. By the time production ceased in 1990 around 4 million 2CVs of all types had been made, making it the most successful Citroën of all time. This 2CV Special was totally restored by the vendor over the period 2018-2022 and is described by him as in 'concours' condition throughout. A photographic record of the rebuild is offered with car, which also comes with a V5C document and is MoT'd to July 2023.

1960 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE 'Ponton' Cabriolet Registration no. 773 DLB Chassis no. 128030-20-003136 Engine no. 127982-20-000577•Rare UK right-hand drive example•Known ownership history•Partially restored•Offered for completionFootnotes:This classic Mercedes-Benz soft-top is a rare original UK right-hand drive example first registered on 20th May 1960 to the famous writer and composer of pop music and musicals, Lionel Bart (of Oliver! fame). A photocopy of the original logbook is in the history file, also showing the original registration number to be 'LB 4'. Various photographs are available on the Internet (Shutterstock) showing Mr Bart in the Mercedes at his then London address of Reece Mews, as per the logbook. Mr Bart owned the car for almost two years before it was registered to furniture manufacturers Parker Knoll in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. Four further owners are listed before Mr Graham Ellis, who is also recorded as owner on the old V5C document on file. The current registered keeper purchased the Mercedes in October 2008 as a 'barn find'. The car has since undergone a restoration costing £87,600 by RetroMarques of Strensham and Tony Williams Bodyshop in Malvern, Worcestershire (all invoices on file). It comes as a fully painted bodyshell in its original Mercedes Blue, and is rolling on its wheels. All other components have been photographed as a catalogue/inventory. The engine and gearbox have been stripped and inspected only. Both will require rebuilding. A brand new windscreen is present. All chrome that was in fair condition was sent away for repair and re-plating. Various other parts were bought new from Niemoeller in Germany and everything should be present and correct. The hood frame has been repaired and is complete.NB: there is no wooden dashboard present and they are no longer available to purchase. During restoration RetroMarques had another RHD vehicle as a reference and had a 3D laser scan taken of the dashboard in order that the new owner/restorer can have an exact replica manufactured. Sold strictly as viewed, this exciting Mercedes-Benz restoration project comes with a copy factory data card, the aforementioned paperwork, and a current V5C Registration Certificate.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1934 Triumph Gloria 10hp Sports Tourer Registration no. AER 492 Chassis no. 42277 Engine no. SS98306•Landmark Triumph sporting car•Developed by Donald Healey•Only four owners from new•Off the road 1968-2014•Restored in 2014Footnotes:Developed by the great Donald Healey, the Gloria, more than any other model, established Triumph's reputation as a builder of fine sporting cars; taking its name – it is said – from one of Selfridge's fashion models, who was photographed with the cars for publicity purposes. Standard-Triumph's managing director, Colonel Claude Holbrook, wanted to move the company away from the small cars that had underpinned its success in the 1920s, aiming to take a slice of the medium-size sporting-car market dominated by Riley. Indeed, ex-Riley employees would be instrumental in the Gloria project, designer Charles Ridley having been recruited from them, as was Donald Healey. Healey was quoted as saying: 'I was attracted by the Gloria project, which seemed better than Riley's own Nine... My first job was cleaning up the Gloria range, which was just about ready for production.' Introduced in 1933, the Gloria employed a conventional cruciform-braced chassis, under-slung at the rear and equipped with all-round 12' hydraulic brakes, on which was mounted low, streamlined coachwork of an elegance not previously associated with the marque. According to Holbrook, the Gloria was 'built to an idea... modern in conception, revealing lines that never before been achieved'. And few would deny that, once it had been 'cleaned up' by Healey, the Gloria was indeed most handsome. The four- and six-cylinder IOE engines were built by Triumph to designs by Coventry Climax, who supplied the raw castings, while the four-speed synchromesh gearbox and spiral bevel rear axle were supplied by ENV. In tuned guise fitted with twin carburettors, the 10hp 1,087cc inlet-over-exhaust four produced 46bhp at 4,600rpm; thus equipped, the Gloria Special Tourer was good for 75mph.This rare British sports car is understood to have had only four owners and had been off the road since 1968 when it was restored in 2014 at a cost of around £12,000. Related bills are on file. Described by the vendor as in good restored condition throughout, the car also comes with old logbooks; a current V5C document; a selection of photographs; instruction manuals; and a document of verification from the Pre-1940 Triumph Club.

1933 Lagonda 16/80 T5 Tourer Registration no. OJ 9865 Chassis no. S10381 Engine no. S2130• Formerly owned by Sgt Freddie Dixon, Battle of Britain RAF fighter pilot• Previous keeper for 35 years• One of approximately 260 examples produced Footnotes:'Silence and smoothness of running have been combined with performance in the new 16-80 Lagonda to an extent not hitherto achieved in any of these very fine cars. Yet the performance itself is remarkably good, even if judged on maximum speed alone, whilst it is even better from the general point of view if judged on the ability of the car to get under way really briskly...' – The Autocar.Based on the chassis of the preceding, and very short lived, 2-Litre Continental four-cylinder model, whose overall style and good looks it retained, the six-cylinder 16/80 was new for the 1933 season. The 16/80 employed a 1,991cc overhead-valve Crossley engine, reworked by Lagonda to its own specification, and could be ordered with conventional four-speed manual or pre-selector transmission enabling swift and easy changes. Autocar liked Lagonda's new medium-size model (which took its name from its 16hp RAC rating and 80mph top speed) remarking on its silence, smoothness, brisk acceleration, and effortless high-speed cruising. Three body styles were available: a Weymann panelled saloon; a rakish three-door tourer body, with driver's seat cutdown panel as found on racing cars of the era , and a two-seater sport designed by Vanden Plas (but built by Lagonda). Approximately 260 16/80s of all types were made, of which it is believed around half survive. This example was owned at the outbreak of WW2 by Flight Sergeant Freddie Dixon, an RAF pilot based at Croydon who was killed when his Hawker Hurricane was shot down over the English Channel during the Battle of Britain. He was 21 years old. Copies of period photographs of him with the Lagonda are on file together with a letter from a family member. The late owner acquired the Lagonda in April 1987, the previous keeper listed on the V5C document being a Mr Neil Frajbis of Suffolk (as is so often the case, the V5C incorrectly implies that the previous keeper was the first owner). A knowledgeable enthusiast, the late owner maintained the Lagonda impeccably and used it at weekends until advancing years meant he had to stop. For the last 10 years the car has been dry stored with all fluids drained and components greased as they should be. The engine has been rebuilt and the interior replaced (original seat fabric retained and is offered with the lot), and there are numerous bills on file relating to these and other works carried out. Like most old cars, this example will hugely improve with sparing continual use, and its dynamic qualities will be apparent to any post vintage connoisseur.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
AC Cobra Aluminium BodyshellFootnotes:'The Cobra was Carroll Shelby's dream car. And Carroll Shelby – and maybe only Carroll Shelby – was the person who made it happen. Granted, he came along at the right time, but he followed through. When opportunity knocks, you don't want to be outback in the outhouse.' – Richard J Kopec, 'Shelby American Guide' 1978.Little is known of the origins of this Aluminium Cobra body, it was purchased by the vendors late father as a spare body for his original AC Cobra Mark III. It is understood to have been purchased directly from AC at the time, but unfortunately there is no paperwork on file to confirm this.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1956 Land Rover Series I 4x4 Military Vehicle Registration no. HVS 447 Chassis no. 111605459•Originally in service with 1st Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment•Veteran of the Suez crisis•2.0-litre petrol engine•Restored in the 1980s•Well known in 'Series' Land Rover circles Footnotes:Built as part of a military contract placed in July 1956, this Land Rover's military registration was '84 BR 09'. It began service with the 1st Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment, 19th Infantry Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division in operation 'Musketeer' (Suez) on 10th November 1956. The operational name for Suez was changed at the last minute from Hamilcar to Musketeer, hence the 'H' painted on the doors (there was not enough time to change the vehicles' markings before the operation began). The 1st Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment was the last unit to leave Suez on 22nd December 1956 after handing over control to the United Nations. The 1st Battalion, along with their vehicles, arrived back at Southampton docks on 2nd January 1957 and returned to their barracks in Colchester. The regiment amalgamated with the 1st Battalion, Prince of Wales' Own Yorkshire Regiment and was based in Dover from 25th April 1958. The 19th Infantry, along with their vehicles, were sent to Cyprus in July 1958 and then to Kenya from July to September 1961.'84 BR 09' was disposed of through a military surplus sale in 1968. Issued with the civilian registration 'HVS 447', it was bought by a farmer from Knapton, Yorkshire who ran it as a farm vehicle for six years before retiring it to a barn. There it sat for 14 years until it was discovered in 1988 by John Banham, who negotiated its purchase and undertook light restoration.The previous owner purchased the Land Rover from John Banham in 2004 but sold it on in 2005 to an ex-Suez veteran, Edwin Robinson, on condition that he would receive 'first refusal' should Mr Robinson ever chose to sell it. He was able to repurchase 'HVS 447' in 2015. This particular vehicle is very well known within Series Land Rover circles having participated in countless shows and road rallies and been featured in numerous magazine articles. It has also been the subject of a military Land Rover feature in James Taylor's book 'Original Land Rover Series I' and been made into a model by Oxford Diecast.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1910 Humber 16/20 HP Tourer Chassis no. C7292 Engine no. 9154• A rare early survivor of one of Britain's pioneering makes• Delivered new to Argentina• Single ownership for over 35 years• Highly original example•Offered without reserveFootnotes:Founded as a bicycle maker in 1868, Humber diversified into motorcycle manufacture in the 1890s and built its first prototype automobile as early as 1896. The firm had production facilities in Coventry, Beeston and Wolverhampton.The Coventry-built Humber 16hp offered here is believed to date from 1910. The year of production is supported by a date cast in the engine block: 'June 22 – '10', while Humber catalogues on file show a near perfect resemblance with the 16hp model introduced in 1909. This particular Humber 16hp is a lengthened version and can accommodate 4/5 passengers in the rear, making it a 6/7 seater. Unlike the standard model, it has 'suicide' doors at the rear.This car was sold new in Buenos Aires, Argentina by Macchi, Pozzi & Riva, the local Humber importers. The original owner was a wealthy man who used the car on his vast estate. The Humber was equipped with a siren and rifle case mounted on the side, supposedly for hunting purposes. Later on it resurfaced in Monticello, New York, registered to a Mary L Briggs, who had its registration renewed in 1951 (document on file). Later, 'The Humber Register' found the car being offered for sale at New York's 'Vintage Car Store' in 1969 (correspondence on file). However, it appears that the Humber only found its next owner, Mr Dean McMinn from Sterling Heights, Michigan, in 1974 having supposedly been in dry storage since the early 1950s. The current owner bought the car on 8th October 1986, directly from Mr McMinn.Part of the previous owner's collection for over 35 years, this 1910 Humber was much enjoyed yet remains in a remarkably original condition. The engine and body are believed to be highly original, as is much of the interior leather. According to 'The Humber Register', 'C7292' would be expected to have an engine numbered at around '9300', and this car's engine is numbered '9154'. The current owner purchased this Humber in Europe and imported to the UK (UK taxes paid), the car has had a NOVA and UK registration applied for.A rare opportunity to acquire a fine automobile from one of Britain's pioneering makes, presented in exceptionally original condition.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1927 Austin Seven Chummy Tourer Registration no. YG 7376 Chassis no. 35778 Engine no. M64987•Restored in 2010•Only 593 miles since restoration•Recent engine rebuild•Restoration bills on fileFootnotes:A huge success from the moment deliveries commenced in January 1923, the Austin Seven remained in production until 1939. Well built, economical and easily maintained by the home mechanic, the Seven brought motoring within the financial reach of the man in the street, who hitherto would probably have settled for a motorcycle combination. Its introduction helped save the ailing Austin concern and by the mid-1920s the Seven dominated the light car market in Britain. The sole version available when production commenced was the 'Chummy' tourer, which today remains for many enthusiasts the quintessential Seven and is highly sought after. This Austin Seven Chummy was purchased as a project in 2009 and fully restored by well known Bentley enthusiast, and former Bonhams regional representative, the late Michael Smith of York, with the works completed in 2010. There are bills on file for parts used in the restoration from The Seven Workshop and A7 Components totalling £11,300, together with an inventory of works. The latter included an engine and gearbox rebuild with a Phoenix crankshaft by Ian Bancroft Restorations (bills on file).The Chummy was then issued a VSCC Buff Form/Eligibility Document for a 'Standard' car. Due to health reasons, Michael sold the car to Austin Seven collector Eric Elliott in 2010. Eric kept the car for several years then sold it via Keyworth Classics in Nottingham to the previous owner for £15,000 in 2016.'YG 7376' was last MoT'd when purchased by the current vendor in 2018 at 403 miles post-rebuild, since when it has seen minimal use (the current odometer reading is 593 miles). The car benefits from work to the carburettor set-up and a recent engine rebuild after a lubrication fault was found, which was undertaken by marque specialist Steve Hodgson (SMH Services Ltd) in West Sussex (bill on file). Always kept garaged, this beautiful little Seven is undeniably very smart, finished mid-green over black with black interior trim and matching hood (no side-screens). In addition to the aforementioned bills, the car comes with a current V5C, several old V5s, and a parts catalogue.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1953 Jaguar Mark VII Saloon Registration no. 205 UYS Chassis no. 716340•Previously used in Africa•Largely restored•Replacement engineFootnotes:'Grace, Space and Pace were the three words from the advertising world which symbolised the car that was to lay the foundations for Jaguar's continuing prosperity as a car manufacturer, the Mark VII saloon.' – Chris Harvey, The Classic Jaguar Saloons. Work on Jaguar's advanced new saloon had been interrupted by the war, and in 1948 elements of the proposed newcomer made their first appearance in other models: the twin-overhead-camshaft engine in the XK120 sports car, and the chassis design in the interim Mark V saloon. It was not until 1950 that the two were combined in the Mark VII, which would be the first of a family of high-performance luxury saloons that would culminate with Mark IX. A considerable improvement on what had gone before, the Mark VII's cruciform-braced chassis featured torsion-bar independent front suspension and all-round hydraulic brakes. The 3.4-litre 'six' had already demonstrated its prowess in the XK120 and proved capable of propelling the Mark VII's not inconsiderable bulk past 100mph. Priced at a mere 40% of its Bentley Mark VI rival, but available at first only for export, the Mark VII was a big hit in the USA, that market's demands prompting the introduction of an automatic transmission option in 1953. Two years later the model was revised as the Mark VIIM, with maximum power increased from 160 to 190bhp. One of slightly more than 10,000 Mark VII saloons produced, this early example was owned in Africa by a Mr Perks, who is understood to have been a Government official, and was used by the local British Embassy as a courtesy car. The Jaguar is largely restored and has a replacement engine. Unfortunately the restoration invoices have been lost, however the vendor advises us that circa £40,000 has been spent so far.

1982 Mercedes-Benz 380 SL Convertible Registration no. EKA 333Y Chassis no. 10704522017272•Extensive recent restoration with bills on file totalling over £42,000•Mercedes-Benz original parts sourced where available •Original and desirable colour combination•Excellent history fileFootnotes:Launched in 1980, the 380 SL convertible and 380 SLC coupé retained the Type 107 bodyshell first introduced in 1971/72 in virtually unchanged form apart from the addition of a front spoiler. The newcomers supplanted the outgoing '350' models and were produced alongside the outwardly similar 280 and 500 SL/SLCs. Power unit was an enlarged (to 3,818cc) and improved version of the existing 3.5-litre overhead-cam V8, though after little more than a year the 380 SL was re-engined with a longer-stroke, 3,839cc V8 in the interests of better fuel economy and reduced emissions. The running gear followed Mercedes-Benz's established pattern, comprising all-independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, while the new four-speed automatic transmission was standard equipment. Top speed was in excess of 130mph.Superbly constructed, elegantly styled and supremely well equipped, Mercedes-Benz's top-of-the range 'SL' coupés and cabriolets have long been recognised as symbols of wealth and prestige, attracting a distinguished and discerning clientele. The 380SL convertible offered here was purchased in 2018 by the current vendor, who has undertaken an extensive restoration documented by over 800 photographs. The body restoration cost over £42,000 and the invoices are on file. During the in-depth restoration the car was repainted in its original factory colour Lapis Blue Metallic, while the original chromework was refreshed. At the same time, the car had a complete factory-specification interior fitted by the world-renowned D:Class Automotive. Works included new carpets, a new soft-top and all the cables and wires associated with its operation. The car comes complete with two hardtops: the original rusty one and a brand new one plus two hardtop stands, a lifting kit for the garage, and a new blue soft-top including all the cables and wires. All five wheels have been refurbished (new bolts and wheel centres) and shod with new Dunlop tyres. All four brake callipers are new, as are the discs, pads and hoses. Also new are the shock absorbers, the complete Mercedes -Benz exhaust, and many other parts, which are listed in the file. The 380 SL comes complete with its original unused tool kit, unused 1st aid kit, jack, radio blanking plate (very rare), two keys with original fobs from the dealer, and the leather book pack with all books including the original service book with 35 Mercedes-Benz dealer stamps. This has to be one of the finest examples of the 380 SL currently on the market. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1912 Mors 12/15hp Model NX Roadster Registration no. BJ 4471 Chassis no. 120595 Engine no. 120595•Pioneering French make•Right-hand drive•Present ownership since 1994•VSCC Eligibility DocumentFootnotes:Mors, founded at the end of the 19th Century by Émile Mors, was one of France's most prominent makes of the Edwardian era having forged its reputation in the heat of competition. Mors was a firm believer in racing's technological and promotional benefits, and the company participated in many events in its early years. In 1901 Henri Fournier won both the prestigious Paris-Berlin and Paris-Bordeaux long-distance races driving a 10-litre 60 horsepower V4-cylinder Mors, which by then had been equipped with pneumatic shock absorbers. The company survived near bankruptcy in 1908 and began to prosper again under the management of André Citroën. Under Citroën's leadership sales doubled between 1909 and 1910 thanks to the introduction of smaller and less expensive models, which gradually supplanted the chain-driven leviathans for which Mors is best remembered. Sadly, by the early 1920s Mors' star was fading fast and in 1925 the company went into liquidation, its factory in Paris being taken over by Citroën. This rare example of one of Mors smaller pre-WWI models is powered by a 2.1-litre four-cylinder engine driving via a three-speed gearbox. The engine is reported to be in very good order, starting readily on the handle, running quietly and pulling very well, while the relatively high top gear makes for quiet and comfortable cruising. Particularly worthy of note is the Mors band-brake clutch, which is so much better than the cone clutches widely used at the time. The clutch action and steering are both said to be light, the ride good, and the brakes typical for a car of this period. The coachwork appears sound, likewise the paintwork and upholstery, while the hood is in very good condition. The car has been in regular use over the years, acquiring a delightful patina of age. The only notified deviations from factory specification are electric lighting, a scuttle-mounted fuel tank (moved from under the seat) and Sankey metal wheels (previously wooden). Accompanying documentation includes an old-style buff logbook dating from 1930. The first owner listed therein kept the Mors until 1977, and there is related correspondence on file dating from the 1960s. The current owner purchased the Mors in 1994 and has corresponded with the granddaughter of the person who owned it in 1930 (see letter and photographs on file). Additional documentation includes a Veteran Car Club Dating Certificate (number '905', issued 1961) and an old VSCC 'Blue Form' and current Eligibility Document enabling participation in their Light Car and Edwardian Section events. The car also comes with a V5C Registration Certificate and photocopies of marque-related literature. In short: this is a rare, distinctive and eminently useable Edwardian motor car eligible for all sorts of enjoyable events.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1931 Aston Martin 1½-Litre Le Mans / International 'Team Car' 2/4 Seater Sports Tourer Coachwork by Bertelli Registration no. JO 3999 Chassis no. J1/111•One of only four Le Mans 'Team Car' replicas•Unique coachwork•In-period Brooklands race history•First purchased by the vendor's father in 1955•Mechanically maintained but cosmetically un-restoredFootnotes:Please note the chassis no is I1/111 and not J1/111.Manufactured by Robert Bamford and Lionel Martin, the first Aston-Martins (the hyphen is correct for the period) rapidly established a reputation for high performance and sporting prowess in the immediate post-WWI years. Unfortunately, the management's concentration on motor sport, while accruing invaluable publicity, distracted it from the business of manufacturing cars for sale, the result being just 50-or-so sold by 1925 when the company underwent the first of what would be many changes of ownership. The foundations were laid for the commencement of proper series production with the formation of Aston Martin Motors Ltd in 1926 under the stewardship of Augustus 'Bert' Bertelli and William Renwick. Built at the firm's new Feltham works, the first 'new generation' Aston Martins were displayed at the 1927 London Motor Show at Olympia. Like his predecessors, 'Bert' Bertelli understood the effect of competition success on Aston Martin sales and sanctioned the construction of two works racers for the 1928 season. Based on the 1.5-litre, overhead-camshaft road car, the duo featured dry-sump lubrication and this feature was carried over to the International sports model, newly introduced for 1929. Built in two wheelbase lengths (102' and 118'), the International was manufactured between 1929 and 1932, mostly with bodies by Augustus's brother Enrico 'Harry' Bertelli. Aston Martin built 136 cars between 1927 and 1932: 14 on the long chassis and 122 on the short International chassis. A contemporary road test of an International recorded a top speed of 81mph with up to 90mph attainable, depending on the back-axle ratio. The new Aston was soon making its mark on the racetrack, 'Bert' Bertelli and Pat Driscoll winning the Biennial Cup at Le Mans in 1932, one of many competition successes achieved before the International was superseded by the Le Mans and Ulster models. Private owners entered all kinds of competitions, while team drivers included Sammy Davis, Eddie Hall, Cyril Paul and George Eyston. The 'Le Mans' label was first applied to the competition version of the (1st Series) International following Aston's class win and 5th place overall in the 1931 Le Mans race. This conceit was fully justified when the model placed 5th and 7th in the 1932 race and collected the Rudge-Whitworth Biennial Cup. It may, in fact, be the first car named after the Le Mans Race, although many others have since followed Aston Martin's example.'JO 3999' is one of four International-based Le Mans models built in 1931 as Team Car replicas (these should not be confused with the Le Mans model of 1932). Original owner George Hartwell first saw the new two-seater Le Mans on Aston's stand at the London Motor Show in October 1931. However, he wanted a 2/4 seater and asked the Bertellis to copy the slab-tank rear of the '100mph Invicta' to create the required accommodation. In Inman Hunter's book, Aston Martin 1913-1947, Hartwell is quoted as saying: 'After the Show the Bertelli brothers drew out full size the side and rear elevations, which satisfied me and the car was produced.' Clearly displaying its bespoke derrière, 'JO 3999' is pictured in Hunter's book (page 133) and Hartwell's unique Le Mans was also illustrated in The Autocar described as a 'Le Mans four-seater', priced at £675. The AMOC Register records 'JO 3999' as winning the Inter-Varsity Hill Climb in 1931 with George Hartwell, who followed that up by finishing 2nd in the JCC Members' Day handicap at Brooklands in 1932 (his fastest lap at Brooklands was 88.6mph). The Aston appears to have changed hands soon after, the next entry being for 'Laing' in 1933 (3rd in the Inter-Varsity Speed Trial) while later that same year Laing finished 7th overall in the LCC Relay Race at Brooklands. 'JO 399' first came into the current family's ownership when the vendor's late father purchased the car in 1955 for £200. Sold a few years later, the Aston was reacquired in August 1969, just in time to be given to the vendor on his 19th birthday in September '69. Owned by the vendor since then, the car has been kept in good order mechanically but not refurbished cosmetically, so it has a wonderful well-used patina. Ecurie Bertelli fitted a new Laystall crankshaft in the 1980s, and more recently the car has been maintained by Morntane Engineering. A unique example of the rare Le Mans Team Car replica, this well documented, unique and highly desirable pre-war Aston Martin is Eligible for both VSCC and AMOC events.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1930 Lagonda 3-Litre Tourer Registration no. GP 8874 Chassis no. Z9966 Engine no. Z1715•Single family ownership since 1993•Restored in the early 1990s•VSCC concours award winner•Recent engine rebuild•Alvis gearbox (original included)Footnotes:Founded by ex-patriot American Wilbur Gunn in 1898, Lagonda built successful motorcycles and forecars before venturing into motor manufacturing proper in the early years of the 20th Century. Having established its reputation by winning the Moscow - St Petersburg Reliability Trial of 1910 with a 30hp six, the Staines-based firm concentrated mainly on the production of light cars before reverting to sporting and luxury models in the mid-1920s. In 1925 designer Arthur Davidson drew up a new overhead-valve, six-cylinder engine for the forthcoming '16/65' model. Originally of 2,692cc, the seven-bearing overhead-valve unit was enlarged to 2,931cc (and later to 3,181cc) to create the 3-Litre model of 1928, finally being stretched to 3,619cc for the short-lived 3½-Litre in 1934, by which time the Meadows-engined cars were seen as the way forward. The '16/65' and early 3-Litre models, many of which were bodied by Lagonda using the Weymann system of flexibly framed, fabric covered coachwork, were intended for the carriage trade. From 1929 onwards though, the model was available in sporting 'low chassis' form, this new frame having resulted from the company's racing experience. The current vendors purchased this handsome sporting Lagonda in 1993 from Cliff Walmsley, a local Vintage car specialist, who had carried out a 'ground upwards' restoration and won several concours events with it. The vendors entered a couple of VSCC concours events shortly after they purchased the car and came away with some more prizes. In addition, the 3-Litre has been used on Lagonda Club meetings, Continental runs, and Preston and District Vintage Car Club events.Over the last five years some £14,000 has been spent on the car, works carried out including the installation of a superior and much more user-friendly Alvis gearbox and an engine rebuild by a local specialist (original gearbox with car). Always kept in a dry garage, 'GP 8874' has seen relatively little use over the last 29 years and is described by the private vendor as in generally good condition. The hood and tonneau cover are said to be in good order, and the car comes with a cranking handle (behind the rear seat). Accompanying documentation consists of several old MoT certificates and a V5C.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1960 Vauxhall PA Cresta Saloon Registration no. RPM 56 Chassis no. 101101•Iconic American-styled Vauxhall saloon•An older restoration•Generally good condition•Quantity of spares includedFootnotes:'Many die-hard enthusiasts for the marque believe the PA to be one of the best-designed Vauxhalls ever to leave the factory. Even those who do not agree with this opinion must at least concede that it should go down as the most noticeable.' – Trevor Alder, Vauxhall The Postwar Years. With the introduction of the 'PA' series Cresta and Velox in October 1957, Vauxhall embraced American styling with even greater enthusiasm than hitherto. Plentiful chrome, garish colour schemes, wrap-around windscreens and fashionable tail fins were all featured on these two top-of-the-range sixes, which often were seen wearing whitewall tyres. Originally of 2.25 litres, the overhead-valve, straight-six engine was enlarged to 2.6 litres in 1960, producing an additional 31 horsepower, while the one major styling revision came in August that same year when a larger front grille and one-piece rear screen were adopted on the 'PADY' Velox and 'PADX' Cresta models. The standard transmission was a three-speed manual while overdrive and the two-speed Hydra-Matic auto 'box were options. An estate conversion was available from Friary Motors of Basingstoke. Offering softly sprung comfort, the Cresta had a decent performance for the time, with a top speed of over 90mph; indeed, the company's advertising hailed the Cresta and Velox as 'Built for the motorway age'. This restored PA-series Cresta saloon is described by the private vendor as in good condition throughout. The car is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate and comes with a quantity of spare parts to include a gearbox, rear axle and items of trim. The provision of a battery cut-out switch is the only notified deviation from factory specification. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1967 Volkswagen Type 2 Campervan Registration no. TGC 536E Chassis no. 237098765 Engine no. To be advised•Numerous mechanical and interior upgrades•Left-hand drive•Tuned 1,776cc engine•'Freeway Flyer' gearboxFootnotes:As readily recognisable as the immortal 'Beetle' itself, the VW Type 2 and its derivatives enjoyed an even longer period in production than their saloon progenitor. The original was conceived in the late 1940s by a Dutch Volkswagen agent, Ben Pon, who drew up plans for a van based on the Beetle floorpan and running gear. Known as the Volkswagen Type 2 (the Beetle saloon being Type 1) the result of Pon's efforts arrived in 1950 and almost immediately proliferated into a bewildering variety of models catering for an enormous range of commercial and domestic activities. The original retained the Beetle's rear-mounted 1,200cc air-cooled engine and four-speed gearbox, the latter suitably re-ratioed to cope with the van's greater weight. Engines grew in size and power, and both handling and comfort improved as development progressed. The first major revision of this outstandingly successful design occurred in 1968, by which time almost two million had been sold worldwide. The replacement, also called 'Type 2', was an entirely new vehicle, larger and roomier than before but still rear-engined. Power units grew in size from 1,600cc to 2 litres before production ceased in 1978 with the introduction of the third generation.Upgraded both inside and out, this left-hand drive VW split-screen campervan is powered by a 1,776cc engine featuring an up-rated camshaft, twin 45 EMPI carburettors, a Petronix electronic distributor, race exhaust system, and serpentine belt set-up. The 'Freeway Flyer' transmission has covered only 1,000miles and incorporates an up-rated fourth gear and EMPI short-shift gear lever. Other notable features include a 6'-shortened front beam with air ride; Wilwood 4-pot brake calliper conversion; rack-and-pinion steering; Type 2 Detectives adjustable rear arms with disc brake conversion; and EMPI five-spoke wheels. The interior too incorporates numerous desirable upgrades, featuring a gas hob and sink; climate controlled central heating; pop-up TV; 240V inverter; two leisure batteries; 'rock 'n roll' bed; Safari pop-out front windows; and pop-out side windows. Offered with a V5C document.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1947 Jaguar 3½-Litre Saloon Project Chassis no. B8604 Engine no. 6820• Effectively three owners from new•Present family ownership for circa 50 years•Off the road since the late 1970s•Requires full restorationFootnotes:Like the majority of Britain's motor manufacturers, Jaguar Cars, as William Lyons' SS concern had been renamed in 1945, commenced post-war production with a range of pre-war designs. Essentially stopgap models pending the arrival of an entirely new generation of Jaguars, these comprised the compact 1½-Litre and the larger 2½/3½-Litre model. The latter was retrospectively known as the Mark IV after the Mark V's introduction in 1948, although this was never a factory designation. Built on a generous 120' wheelbase, the Mark IV retained a separate chassis featuring beam front and live rear axle suspension, semi-elliptic springing and Girling mechanical brakes. The stylish all-steel coachwork was available in saloon or drophead coupé forms and featured the kind of luxurious and well-appointed interior that would become a Jaguar hallmark. Used by SS Cars since 1934, the engine was Standard's rugged seven-bearing six fitted with a Weslake overhead-valve cylinder head and coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox. Standard boss Sir John Black had indicated that the larger engines would no longer be available once peace returned, so Lyons bought the tooling and brought their production in house, relying on Standard only for the 1½-litre unit. In 3½-litre form the Jaguar six produced 125bhp, an output good enough to propel the sturdily built Mark IV to over 90mph. The current vendor inherited this Jaguar 3-½ Litre around 11 years ago from his father, who had purchased it from the second owner. The latter had bought the car from the original owner, a doctor, in Dublin circa 1970. Restoration was commenced towards the end of the 1970s but stalled, and the car has remained in dry storage since around 1980. The vendor advises us that the Jaguar requires full restoration, although the chassis, steering and brakes are all said to be in very good working order. A potentially most rewarding project, the car is offered without documents and sold strictly as viewed.Please note that if this vehicle is to remain in the UK, it will be subject to Import VAT at the reduced rate of 5% on the hammer price.

1931 Rolls-Royce 20/25hp 'Dreadnought Special' Coachwork by Bespoke Bodyworks Registration no. TL 1663 Chassis no. GNS39 Engine no. Y6J•Unique Blower Bentley-style special•Supercharged engine (190bhp, 350lb/ft torque)•Shortened (108' wheelbase) chassis•Extensively up-rated running gear•Extensive build details and records availableFootnotes:Reconfigured as a Bentley-style 'Dreadnought Special', this exciting one-off, coachbuilt Rolls-Royce 20/25 is eligible for VSCC events. One of an estimated 3,827 produced, chassis number 'GNS39' was off test on 21st January 1931 and completed with two-door drophead coupé coachwork by H J Mulliner. On 3rd March 1931 the car was given the registration 'TL 1663', which it retains. The first owner was a Mr Vincent Hemery. When photographed in 1966, the car was still fitted with its original body.In June 2014 the Rolls-Royce was purchased by the current vendor, whose intention was to create a unique special. Without question the Dreadnought's most striking feature is its Brooklands Bentley-style aluminium race body by Bespoke Bodywork of Church Crookham, who hand-formed it over an ash frame. The chassis was shortened to the 108' wheelbase of the Bentley 3-Litre Supersports 100mph 'Green Label' model, while the springs were lowered, reset, and cord bound. Suspension movement is damped by André Hartford racing shock absorbers, while braking is looked after by bespoke Alfin aluminium brake drums with cast-iron liners and modern friction material. Boasting 'Dreadnought'-engraved spinners, the wheels are shod with road-legal Blockley racing tyres. The 3.7-litre six-cylinder overhead-valve engine is fed by a period Godfrey Marshall K300 blower and is said to produce 190bhp at 4,000rpm and 350lb/ft of torque. This rebuilt and extensively up-rated engine incorporates a new Fiennes Restorations alloy cylinder head; forged pistons, a lightweight flywheel, and a bespoke Newman camshaft specifically ground for supercharged application. All machining work was carried out by a pre-eminent UK classic racing engine builder, and the engine was set up and dynamometer-tested by a leading UK supercharging specialist. The transmission has been rebuilt and modified to incorporate an AP Racing clutch and Laycock overdrive. The body is finished in a dark green, while the cockpit has been trimmed in Burgundy leather by Trevor Norris. The build was completed in 2018, since when only some 1,000 miles have been covered.Accompanying this unique car are volumes of history including a copy of the original purchase order from Rolls-Royce; previous registration documents; current V5C document; restoration receipts; and a complete photographic record of all work carried out. All in all, this is an incredible, prize-winning car that attracts favourable attention wherever it goes. Obviously not a genuine Blower Bentley, it is on offer at a fraction of genuine Blower Bentley money.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1936 Frazer Nash-BMW 315 Cabriolet Registration no. DGF 956 Chassis no. 68071•Present ownership for just over 10 years•Restored by the previous owner•Fully documented rebuild•'New-old-stock' engine installed three years ago•Lockheed hydraulic brakes conversionFootnotes:Introduced in 1934, the BMW 315 boasted a 1½-litre six-cylinder engine, twin-tube chassis with transverse-leaf IFS, a synchromesh gearbox, and mechanical brakes. Good for around 65-70mph, the 315 was sold in the UK as the Frazer-Nash BMW Type 34, AFN Ltd having concluded an agreement with BMW for the importation of their motor cars, some having German bodies and others locally made coachwork. The vendor has owned this delightful cabriolet for just over 10 years having purchased the car from Mr Steven Fathers, who had completely restored it. It remains in excellent condition today having been used purely for high days and holidays. Replaced three years ago, curing a water pump issue, the engine is a reconditioned, new-old-stock unit from Mark Garfitt and was installed with the help of Oliver Penney after a full strip down and refit. The electrics have been converted to 12-volt with an electronic regulator. The vendor advises us that the car drives really well and is ideal for touring as there is plenty of luggage space and a proper hood for when the weather turns sour. The panel fit is exceptional and the two-tone paint very smart, while the hood remains excellent. Body-coloured wheel trims complete a charming picture. Brightwork too, is very smart, as is the beautiful tan leather interior, which remains in almost perfect condition. Additional gauges have been fitted discreetly beneath the dashboard so the driver can monitor water temperature and engine revs.According to the vendor: 'On the road it keeps up with modern traffic very well. The six-cylinder engine is nice and smooth, with good acceleration and speed. It will go faster if pushed, but it's at its best when cruising. The brakes are up-rated Lockheed hydraulic ones (replacing the original cable-operated brakes) and lend it excellent stopping power – it pulls up nice and straight. The four-speed manual is good to use – it's lovely.'In the comprehensive history file is a CD with a detailed photographic history of the car's restoration. Accompanying this are detailed hand-written notes, listing every part fitted, how long it took, and an exact description of what was done (perusal recommended). Also on file is a V5C document; a handful of invoices; some expired MoTs; a VSCC eligibility document; and a BMW Historic Vehicle Register certificate confirming the model, engine and chassis numbers, date of registration, and original colour (green). Restored to the highest standards, this rare BMW 315 Cabriolet is 'on the button' and ready to enjoy.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1913 Napier 15hp Doctor's Coupé Registration no. LK 6256 Chassis no. 12165•Rare model from a premier make•One of 3,274 15hp models made•Seven owners from newFootnotes:Best known for its highly successful WWI aero engines, the precision engineering firm of D Napier & Son of Lambeth was first established in 1808. Headed by Montague Napier, the company turned to automobile manufacture at the turn of the 19th Century, swiftly forging a formidable reputation thanks to the racing and record breaking exploits of its sole distributor, S F Edge. The company manufactured a diverse range of engine types before introducing the world's first commercially successful six in 1904 and moving into the luxury car market. Outclassed by Rolls-Royce's Silver Ghost, Napier's larger models faded away after 1911, to be replaced by more modest offerings.Developed from an earlier 15hp model launched in 1907 as a more affordable foil to the huge sixes that had established Napier's reputation, the four-cylinder 15hp introduced at Olympia in 1910 was the company's most successful model. 'A sturdy car without frills,' it cost £350 in chassis form, to which Napier's own four-seater bodywork added an extra £80 (plus an extra £7 for the windscreen). The 15hp Colonial model was produced especially for those countries where rough roads prevailed, featuring raised suspension, larger wheels and an engine installed 'back to front' so that the large flywheel was protected by the front axle. As the flywheel rotated in the opposite direction to other Napiers, it was dubbed the 'anti-clockwise' model.The Napier offered here is a unique example of an Edwardian motor car in highly original condition, having had only seven owners in its 100-plus years of history. Seating is three inside and two in the uncovered dickey at the rear. The four-cylinder 15hp engine has three forward gears plus reverse. The car has brakes on the rear wheels only, and a transmission brake operated by pedal. Top speed is around 50mph. An electric fuel pump, electric starter, and a Zenith carburettor are sensible provisions.The original owner in 1913 was a Harley Street doctor, who was followed in 1921 by Mr A V Campbell-Lambert. Mr Campbell-Lambert drove the Napier until he was 90 years old, taking it on numerous continental holidays in the 1920s and 1930s. Upon Mr Campbell-Lambert's death in 1964, his grandson inherited the Napier, joining the VCC a year later. He took it on numerous rallies before selling the car in 1985. For 30 years, 'LK 6256' was owned by the same family and actively rallied both at home and abroad, always proving reliable. The current vendor purchased the Napier in September 2021 , since then it has been used for local rallies and shows. Finished in blue/black with blue leather interior, this charming 'Brass Era' motor car is offered with a VCC Certificate of Dating and a V5C registration document.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1991 Miura Replica Sports by Prova Designs Registration no. Q818 GHG Chassis no. 0001 Engine no. To be advised•Originally built in 1991•Reconfigured in 2022 with a Ferrari 348tb/ts engine and gearbox•Not tested in its current specification•Requires finishingFootnotes:Miura prices have been on a relentlessly steepening curve for years, putting the car far out of reach of all but the most wealthy enthusiasts. As is so often the case with such exotica, the only way for the average enthusiast to enjoy them, or at least a close approximation, is a replica. Replicas of the Miura, however are relatively few. This example is the work of Prova Designs, who built approximately 55 between 1989 and 2002, and is chassis number '0001'. The car was originally constructed in 1991 with a Renault V6 engine and gearbox but was reconfigured in 2022 with the 300bhp 3.4-litre V8 power unit from a 1992 Ferrari 348tb/ts, complete with that model's transverse gearbox. The car has not been used on the road since and thus the transmission has not been tested. Finished in white with a custom-made red leather interior featuring Lamborghini 'raging bull' headrest logos, the car requires finishing and currently lacks an exhaust system. Accompanying documentation consists of sundry bills, a recently expired MoT, and a V5C Registration Certificate.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
