1951 HRG 1500 Four-Seater TourerAccording to Ian Dussek's definitive work `HRG, The Sportsman's Ideal', it was the return home of Antipodean WW2 flying ace F.A.O. `Tony' Gaze in 1947 and his subsequent success aboard one of the first three HRG Aerodynamic models that helped the Tolworth-based marque get a toehold in the Australian market. Gaze joined the Melbourne firm of Brown & Dureau for 1949 and persuaded his new employer to import ten Aerodynamic chassis to be bodied locally. Some purchasers opted for single-seater coachwork but Brown & Dureau are reported to have commissioned Gordon Stewart of Sydney to clothe chassis W185 as a four-seater Tourer. Looking not unlike a pre-WW2 Aston Martin or Lagonda, the resultant machine was reputedly rallied by multiple Australian Grand Prix winner Doug Whiteford and Reg Nutt before Brown & Dureau sold it to John P. Ward of Toorak on 21st February 1952. Thereafter, the HRG passed through the hands of Alexander Fraser, Archibald Johnston Jnr (who used it to contest the Moomba Tourist Trophy at Albert Park on March 26th 1955), Francis Kolbe, Alroy Car Sales, Michael Thomas, Lesley Palmer, Le Mans Motors and David Eggleton. The latter acquired chassis W185 on 7th August 1956 and kept it for over fifty years. Laid-up during the 1960s and displayed at the National Automobile Museum of Tasmania for a time, the HRG had been partially restored by the time it finally left Mr Eggleton's care in 2009. Mechanically overhauled, rewired, repainted and reupholstered by the time that previous keeper Keith Barker of Henley-on-Thames repatriated it five years ago, the four-seater was further improved during his tenure. Entrusted to Total Trim Solutions of Thatcham, the HRG gained a new hood, tonneau, hood bag and sidescreens (£5,815), while Fenn Motor Works Ltd of Reading overhauled its starter motor (£634.40). Marles Steering Boxes of Hamnish supplied a new steering wheel, steering wheel boss and steering box complete with pitman arm (£6,054) not to mention five new Avon Tourist 550 x 16 tyres (£885). The same company got the dampers working properly and machined new hubs for the rear axle (£3,270). Benefiting from attention to its radiator and water pump since entering the current ownership in August last year, `375 YUP' is pleasingly understood to still retain its factory-fitted chassis, 1500cc Singer engine, gearbox and differential. The sole HRG known to have been bodied as a four-seater when new, chassis W185 has the added advantage of period competition history. Illustrated on p.318 of Mr Dussek's marque history, it is offered for sale with original Australian Owner's Certificate (dating from 1951), UK V5C Registration Document and numerous bills / invoices. An elegant and extremely rare sportscar and seemingly the only one which allows the `Hurg' experience to be shared with more than one friend or family member!PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1970 Morris Mini Cooper S MKII Wood & Pickett Margrave- Reputedly the sole Morris Mini Cooper S MKII converted by Wood & Pickett to Margrave specification (built on 19th August 1969, it was not road registered until 11th September 1970)- Previously owned by Leonard of Mayfair, Denny Laine of the Moody Blues / Wings and John Hammel, Sir Paul McCartney's guitar technician (the latter buying it back on several occasions)- Winner of the London to Brighton Mini Run 'Car of the Show' in 2009 and the subject of various magazine articlesReputedly the only Morris Mini Cooper S to be converted to Margrave specification by coachbuilder Wood & Pickett, chassis K-A2S6/1321285 was despatched to dealer Stewart & Arden Ltd of Acton, London on 9th December 1969 but not road registered as 'YYU 292H' until 11th September 1970. The ten-month gap was understandable given the craftsmanship that went into its subtly reworked exterior and thoroughly remodelled interior. Both front wings were given modest peaks (something of a W&P trademark), the headlamps gained hooded chrome surrounds (Riley 1.5 litre items) and the doors were modified to accept James Young-fabricated opening quarterlights, Piper electric windows and repositioned Princess 1100 handles. The Benelite front grille played host to Lucas LR9 spotlights, while a full-length Webasto sunroof and sleeker MKIII Mini boot lid were both added. A more aggressive stance came courtesy of wheelarch extensions housing wider wheels / tyres. Inside, the diminutive sports saloon was treated to Aston Martin DB6-style Black leather seats to complement its Aston Martin electric window switches, Rolls-Royce cigarette lighter, Rolls-Royce door handles and Jaguar / MG instrumentation. A drop bracket allowed the steering column to be repositioned and a padded central armrest with cubby nestled between the front seats. Left in standard Cooper S tune, 'YYU 292H' thus boasted a twin-carburettor fed 1275cc engine, four-speed manual transmission, hydrolastic independent suspension and disc/drum brakes.An accompanying copy of its original logbook reveals that the Margrave was initially finished in Beige / White and first registered to David Weir of 154 Pavilion Rd, London SW1 (which runs behind Sloane Street). It is pure supposition but we believe the Mr Weir in question to have been the American playboy millionaire David Manson Weir II who was living in London at the time and racing cars with Alain de Cadenet under the Ecurie Evergreen and Team Snake Speed banners. Heir to the National Steel Corporation fortune, David M. Weir II took his motorsport seriously (achieving a career best 4th overall at the 1971 Le Mans 24-hours) but was no stranger to the London party scene and would certainly have had the means to buy a coachbuilt Mini. If there is some doubt as to which Mr Weir first owned the car, the identity of its second keeper - Leonard Albert Lewis - is a certainty. Better known as Leonard of Mayfair, he converted 6 Upper Grosvenor Street, London W1 into a five-storey hairdressing salon and counted the following as clients: President John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Tony Curtis, Elizabeth Taylor, Bob Marley, Marie Helvin, Jerry Hall, David Bowie, Warren Beatty, Audrey Hepburn, Liza Minelli, Meryl Streep, Faye Dunaway, Barbara Streisand, Christine Keeler, Reggie Kray, Grace Kelly, Jack Nicholson and Stanley Kubrick. Responsible for the haircuts in the latter's Clockwork Orange film, Lewis also helped transform Lesley Hornby into 'Twiggy' via a bold Eton Crop. Jack Nicholson and Stanley Kubrick became lifelong friends as did the society writer Richard Compton Miller who described Lewis thus: 'He was the first hairdressing superstar, who taught John Frieda, Daniel Galvin, Nicky Clarke and many more household names. Leonard could barely read or write and yet created some of the unique styles of the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties. He was so renowned he was known only by his Christian name'. A bona fide trend setter and confidant of the rich and famous, it was Lewis who had the Margrave painted Pacific Dark Blue in 1971 (its copy logbook indicating the colour change took place in October that year). Given his status it is not difficult to imagine 'YYU 292H' roaring around London's hippest streets with some of the twentieth century's most famous people aboard!The sports saloon's third keeper is listed as Clive Arrowsmith of Abingdon Rd, London W8 who we presume to be the internationally renowned fashion and music industry photographer. Thereafter it was registered to Music Lore Ltd of 36 King's Road, London SW3 before being acquired by the musician John Frederick Hammel in 1974. Reportedly swapped for a BMW and £300 in cash and showing some 21,000 miles to its odometer at the time, the Cooper S was repainted Claret shortly thereafter. Hammel sold the Margrave to Denny Laine (formerly of The Moody Blues and then a member of Wings) in 1978 for the latter's wife JoJo to use but soon found himself asking to buy it back. His second tenure lasted until 1998 when Andy Stewart purchased 'YYU 292H'. Passing to Hammel for a third time in the early 2000s, he subsequently had the Margrave restored to its former glory such that it won the MiniWorld Car of the Show Trophy at the 2009 London to Brighton Mini Run. Perhaps best known as Sir Paul McCartney's long-time guitar technician, Mr Hammel has owned numerous classics over the years but had a particular affinity for this one which his friend Steve Marriott of Humble Pie apparently referred to as 'a 100-miles per hour pair of shades'. Purchased by its penultimate custodian during late 2012, the Cooper S had its original engine and gearbox thoroughly overhauled by Mini Speed of Byfleet the following year at a cost of some £3,698.95. Further improved since entering the current ownership, 'YYU 292H' has had its fuel lines renewed, hydrolastic suspension recharged, wiring fettled and electronic ignition installed. The work which also included some general servicing and MOT preparation etc was carried out by R.E. Mills Motor Engineers of Rothley at a cost of £3,689.70. Believed but not warranted to have covered just 72,000 miles from new, the Margrave pleasingly retains its original Wood & Pickett crafted Black leather upholstery. Said to retain its original bodyshell and factory powerplant, this unique Mini makes one wish cars could talk!Offered for sale with history file, Heritage Certificate, V5C Registration Document, copy Mini World feature article and MOT certificate valid until November 2017.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

Lot 52
1966 Aston Martin DB6- Matching numbers example, well maintained by recognised marque specialists- Automatic transmission, Silver Birch with Tan hide- c.75,000 miles believed genuine, invoices totalling £30,000Like a matched pair of Purdeys, a wardrobe full of bespoke Saville Row suits or a parade of hand stitched brogues, few things are as quintessentially English as an Aston Martin. Backed by a strong racing heritage and glittering silver screen career, Astons remain the stuff of dreams to many. Launched at the 1965 Motor Show, it was the first model to be engineered after the factory move from Feltham to Newport Pagnell. Lauded by the contemporary press for its handling and performance, demand for the handbuilt gentleman's express soon outstripped supply (just 1,755 DB6s had been made by the time production ceased in 1971). Visually distinguishable from Sean Connery's DB5 mount by its pronounced and aerodynamically effective Kamm tail, it also benefited from a four-inch increase to its wheelbase.In combination with a (marginally) raised roofline and redesigned rear seats courtesy of revised rear suspension pick up points this gave a meaningful increase in rear passenger room making the car a true four seater. All round coil sprung suspension, disc brakes and rack and pinion steering gave a suitably sporting drive. Dry weight was limited to 1,550kg utilising well practised Touring Superleggera techniques. Huddersfield built chassis platforms were fitted with a steel superstructure at Newport Panel before being clad in the hand finished aluminium body panels. The fabulous Tadek Marek designed twin-cam straight six in 3995cc form was carried over unchanged. Even in standard tune, it developed a claimed 282bhp and 280lbft of torque. Mated to the no-cost optional automatic transmission as in this example (preferred by many to the heavy clutch and at times obstructive change of the manual version) performance was commanding with a reputed top speed and 0-60mph time of 140 mph and 8.5 seconds respectively.This matching-numbers DB6 was originally finished in Californian Sage but has been repainted in Silver Birch while retaining its original tan trim. The previous owner of eleven years, an Aston Martin Enthusiast and Collector, ensured the car has been lovingly looked after. Regularly used for family days, this Aston Martin has been maintained and mechanically looked after to a high standard by Nicholas Mee & Company, and comes with a substantial history including a £2,000 service with Richard of England Aston Martin Specialist. The extensive history includes some service invoices dating back to the late 1980s, photos of an engine overhaul, plus a quantity of expired MoT certificates supporting the mileage of c.75,000.From 2004 the car was maintained by Aston Martin agents Murray Motors in Scotland and subsequently by marque specialists Ricki Cann, RS Williams and Nicholas Mee. Works carried out by the latter include removing the engine, gearbox, exhaust system and suspension, cleaning the underside, welding as necessary, treating with red oxide and protecting with new underseal. The cleaned and painted rear axle was then reinstalled with all new bushes, as was the overhauled and re-bushed front suspension, while the engine bay was cleaned and refinished in preparation for installation of the engine. The latter's cylinder head was removed, overhauled with new gaskets and refitted and the carburettors cleaned and reset. Re-assembly was completed with new exhaust and inlet manifold gaskets, hoses, clips, drive belts and engine mounts, whilst all ancillaries were reinstalled having been cleaned and repainted. The exhaust system was refitted with new clamps and mountings. In addition, the brake master cylinder was overhauled and the brake callipers removed, cleaned and refitted with new flexible hoses. The total cost of these works was c.£30,000.Described by the vendor as having "very good" bodywork, paintwork, engine and transmission with "good" interior, NPG 92D is offered with a current MoT certificate expiring 16th April 2018. The DB6 is considered by many to be the last of the 'real' Aston Martins and this must surely represent an ideal acquisition for a discerning collector.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1972 Aston Martin DBS- Just 62,000 miles and 2 previous owners, good restoration candidate- Much history from 1980s, £20,000 spent- Automatic transmission, Webasto sunroofIntroduced at the October 1967 Motor Show, the DBS broke important new ground for Aston Martin. Although similar to that of the concurrent DB6, its steel platform chassis used a longer wheelbase, repositioned front crossmember and wider track to arrive at perfect 50:50 weight distribution. Further enhanced by the adoption of de Dion rear suspension located via a Watts linkage and with standardised power steering, the newcomer was widely praised for its polished ride and handling. Styled in-house by William Towns, with clear transatlantic and Italianate overtones, the aluminium-bodied four-seater exuded a road presence that few rivals caught in its quad headlights could match. Although intended to be the first V8-powered Aston, a series of teething troubles with the new powerplant meant that the DBS went into production with the proven Tide Marek-designed 3995cc DOHC straight-six. Credited with developing 282bhp and 288lbft (or 325bhp and 290lbft in Vantage tune wearing three Webers), this legendary powerplant was allied to either five-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission.We are informed this Silver / Grey automatic transmission example with Red interior had just two previous owners, the car coming with a good amount of history dating from the 1980s onwards. Understood to be running but offered without a current MoT, STD 971S is described by the vendor as being a good candidate for restoration, the odometer currently registering a low c.62,000 miles. Invoices for over £20,000 together and over thirty expired MoT certificates are also understood to accompany the car. Astons remain a solid investment and values for the 6-cylinder DBs have risen along with those of the V8 engined models making this an attractive project to undertake.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1964 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII- The original sales invoice shows this splendid looking Austin-Healey 3000 was sold new to a lady in Tucson, Arizona, in July 1964- Appearing to remain with the original owner until being sold in August 1989 and promptly exported to England, converted to RHD, and registered in June 1990- Only two UK owners who both invested significantly in the matching-numbers car with the right people to make it a fabulous example in looks, sound, and drivabilityThe original sales invoice and Arizona title documents on file for this fabulous looking Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII (Phase 1) show it was ordered on July 18th 1964 from Precision Motors in Tucson for delivery that Sunday at 1:00pm. It was titled to two ladies, and seeing as Nancy Lee Burks was just 25 years old at the time, it is presumed that Mary was her mother and perhaps the shiny Colorado Red British sports car was a very generous 25th birthday present. The car did not stray far during its life in America, as after being supplied by Precision Motors (a company that is still thriving today as Toyota dealership) for the sum of $4,254.65 including a radio and taxes, Nancy Lee lived just a few blocks away from Precision and retained the car until 1989 by which time she was fifty years old and her maiden name of Burks had become Thomas.After selling the car in August 1989 it appears the car was promptly exported to England and converted to right hand drive, presumably by Barrie Richards of Barries Garage, Smethwick. Sold by Barries Garage (trading as Bellbrook Limited) in August 1990 to a Mr Grant Nowell-Mitchell of Pershore, its history since is well documented by its two enthusiastic UK owners.Mr Nowell-Mitchell preceded to use the car sparingly over the summer months for the next few years, and upon extracting the car from the garage in 1999 it was apparent that a furry creature had enjoyed nibbling away at the original black vinyl interior. 1999 proved to be an expensive year as a new black leather interior was installed in August along with the fitment of Minilite style road wheels, and in November the engine was sent somewhere to be fitted with new pistons, camshafts, aluminium radiator, triple Weber 45 carburettors, and a stainless-steel exhaust manifold and system.However, a mechanical failure resulted in Mr Nowell-Mitchell requesting the Austin-Healey experts Denis Welch Motorsport to build a Fast Road Engine for him. During 2001 and 2002 over £15,000 was spent on the car building the engine with steel crank and rods and performance inlet manifolds as well as many other engine works, plus thoroughly overhauling the suspension. The gearbox is reported to have received attention but no invoice is available, whereas the invoices from Denis Welch thoroughly detailing the works are in the file.The vendor (an historic racing competitor aboard a Ford Mustang) purchased the car from Denis Welch Motorsport in September 2011 after Mr Nowell-Mitchel is believed to have passed away. After Denis Welch carried out a service the car was sent to world renowned historic racing experts Blakeney Motorsport for fast-road and light competition preparation. During the next two years over £22,000 were spent on the car on works such as fitting competition front and rear wheel hubs, larger front brake discs and callipers, uprated rear brake drums, fitting a superb sounding side-exit exhaust, modifying the driver's seat to offer extra side support, new rear suspension springs, a new steering box, and an overhauled rear axle with new LSD unit. To complete the works, the paint was refreshed in late 2012.After taking part in events such as the 2012 VSCC Pomeroy Trophy at Silverstone, Goodwood Road Racing Club (GRRC) Spring Sprint at Goodwood, Aston Martin Owners Club Summer Sprint at Goodwood, and the 2013 VSCC Pomeroy Trophy and GRRC Spring Sprint, and car was retired from competitive work and has since been used as an extremely enjoyable road car.This is a thoroughly sorted, super looking, and fabulous sounding Austin-Healey 3000 that has had an extraordinary amount of love and money lavished upon it by the best names in the historic car world. There can only be a few 3000 MkIII's out there that have their original supplying documents, are presented in their original colours, still have their original matching numbers engine, plus have had such significant recent expenditure. This is one of them.Accompanying the car are the previously mentioned original sales invoice and Arizona title documents, plus a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate (which states overdrive, wire wheels and a heater as the main extra equipment), the previous owners detailed account of his ownership dated October 2010, the front and rear bumpers, about fifteen previous MOT certificates, and a comprehensive number of invoices from Denis Welch Motorsport and Blakeney Motorsport detailing all the work carried out on the car.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

Lot 28
1953 Lagonda DB 2.6/3.0 Litre Drophead Coupe- Supplied via Brooklands of London to Sir Peter Ustinov CBE FRSA and notable as the renowned actor / writer's first new car purchase- Built as a 2.6 litre model but uprated with a 3 litre engine by the factory in November 1954 (and a four star diff three years later)- Retained by Ustinov for twelve years and current ownership since 1968- Engine overhauled in 1997 and veteran of numerous Continental trips- 'NLO 950' quite possibly inspired HRH The Duke of Edinburgh to order his own Lagonda 3 Litre Drophead Coupe given that both he and Ustinov were members of The Thursday ClubNotwithstanding Lagonda's commitment to the war effort, their chief engineer W.O. Bentley - ably assisted by W.G. Watson and Donald Bastow - began work on a new car in early 1944. Conceived as a sports saloon, the resultant design boasted an innovative chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension and hydraulic drum brakes (inboard at the back). Powered by a DOHC straight-six engine featuring hemispherical combustion chambers, its flowing lines were partially attributable to Frank Feeley. Unveiled to an enthusiastic press in September 1945, production plans for the exclusive `2.5 Litre' were stymied by Lagonda's inability to negotiate sufficient steel supplies given the prevailing `export-or-die' atmosphere. Unable to recover financially, the marque was bought by industrialist David Brown in 1947. Merged with Brown's other recent purchase Aston Martin, the two companies operated out of the latter's Feltham premises. In addition to donating its powerplant to the nascent Aston Martin DB2 programme, the `2.5 Litre' was developed in its own right. Fitted with a David Brown S430 four-speed synchromesh gearbox, rack-and-pinion steering and hypoid back axle, it reappeared at the October 1949 Earls Court Motor Show as the DB Lagonda 2.6. Highly regarded but expensive, the model evolved through a MKII version and reputedly accounted for just 511 sales (386 saloons and 125 drophead coupes) before giving way to the DB 3 Litre in 1954. Marque concessionaire Brooklands of Bond Street are understood to have purchased the last sixteen DB 2.6 MKII chassis and had them bodied as a mixture of fixed-head and drophead coupes by Tickford Ltd of Newport Pagnell. The resultant six 'tin tops' and ten 'soft-tops' presaged the styling of their equivalent DB 3 Litre successors exactly. The last 'Brooklands of Bond Street' Drophead Coupe made, chassis LAG50/536 has the further distinction of being the first new car bought by Sir Peter Ustinov, CBE FRSA, the acclaimed raconteur, writer and star of stage and screen. Born Peter Alexander Freiherr von Ustinov on April 16th 1921 in Swiss Cottage, London, his ancestral connections ranged from Russian nobility to the Ethiopian Royal Family! Fluent in Russian, French, Italian, German, and English, Ustinov befriended David Niven whilst serving in the Royal Sussex Regiment during World War Two and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh when all three were members of The Thursday Club. Indeed, it is quite probable that Sir Peter's purchase of 'NLO 950' inspired Prince Phillip to commission his own Lagonda DB 3 Litre Drophead Coupe (which we sold last year for a world record price of £346,800). A true car enthusiast, Ustinov returned chassis LAG50/536 to its maker to be fitted with a larger 3 Litre engine in late November 1954 and a four-star differential some three years later. Part of his stable when he won Best Supporting Oscars for Spartacus (1960) and Topkapi (1964), the Lagonda is known to have belonged to Coleman & Sons of Coalville, Smith Capell & Company of Northampton and Breedon General Services Ltd of Derby before entering the current family ownership during 1968. Re-trimmed in Grey leather the following decade, the Drophead Coupe received a new hood during 1986 courtesy of Northampton-based coach trimmer R.A. Waite. Invited to take part in the Display of British Coachwork Commemorating the Centenary of the British Motor Industry at Hagley Hall in the West Midlands on May 11th 1996 by The Worshipful Company of Coachmakers and Coach Harness Makers of London, the four-seater was treated to an engine overhaul some twelve months later. The cylinder liners showed remarkably little wear (.002thou) but the crankshaft was re-ground and new main / big-end bearings installed etc. The clutch friction plate and a propshaft universal joint (ahead of the gearbox) were renewed at the same time too. A stainless steel exhaust was commissioned for the car during 2000 and remains in situ. Damage to a rear wing prompted a full respray in 2001 which was carried out by Aston Martin specialist Four Ashes Garage Ltd of Stratford-upon-Avon. The colour chosen was a close match to the Lagonda's original Metalichrome Gulf Blue livery but some sixteen years on the finish has deteriorated. The same year also saw the radiator refurbished, while more recent fettling has seen attention paid to the dynamo (2005), water pump / gearbox oil seal (2006) and cylinder head (2011). The vendor proudly tells us that 'NLO 950' has never failed a MOT test during his forty-nine year stewardship and attributes its longevity to the basic excellence of W.O. Bentley's design and the extensive use of wear resistant phosphor bronze fittings for the steering and suspension etc.Driven to the Continent on an annual basis up until a few years ago, chassis LAG50/536 started readily upon inspection and behaved well during our photography session. The seller is understandably reluctant to say goodbye after nearly fifty years but feels a new custodian should be given the opportunity to either enjoy the 'Brooklands of Bond Street' car 'as is' or restore it to its former glory. A decidedly rare and elegant motorcar with a great provenance. Offered for sale with copy factory build / maintenance records, numerous bills and current MOT certificate valid until April 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

A 1953 Lagonda 3 litre Tickford drophead coupé, registration number NYC 820, chassis number LAG/50/503, engine number VB6J/71, blue. The Lagonda sales brochure stated the car had beauty of line, power and grace, and what superlative comfort and proud dignity were embodied in the 3 litre Lagonda Tickford saloon and drophead coupé. Coachbuilders Tickford of Newport Pagnell had started to play an increasingly important role as body suppliers to Aston Martin Lagonda during manufacture of the 2.6 litre. When the new 3 litre was announced in 1953, they assumed sole responsibility of body production for the two models, a two door saloon and drophead coupé (the four door saloon following later). The newly enlarged engine now produced 140 bhp, an output good enough for a top speed in excess of 100 mph. In October 1955, a revised MkII model was introduced and the range reduced to just the four door saloon after only five MkII dropheads had been completed. The model found favour with some illustrious characters including His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh and the actor Peter Ustinov. LAG/50/503 has a continuous history from new. Originally supplied and registered by Brooklands of Bond Street Ltd London, to its first owner a Mr Charles Robert Volz who resided at 2 Magdalene House, Manor Fields, Putney, SW19, it was then sold back to Brooklands of Bond Street who subsequently sold it to a Mr Patrick Brunner who resided at 18 Addison Road, London, W14. There is the original bill of sale on the file which shows that Mr Brunner traded in a Lagonda 4.5 litre LG45, chassis number 012161, and was allowed £381 against the full amount of £705. He paid the balance by twelve monthly installments. Mr Brunner passed away in 1966 and the ownership passed into Mrs Brunner's hands who retained the car until the 1990s. One further owner was recorded before the vendor purchased the Lagonda. In his ownership the car has been used for touring, and to attend classic car events with the Lagonda Owner's Club and others. LAG/50/503 is presented in an original condition with a beautifully patinated grey leather interior with matching soft top and a hood cover. This rare Lagonda has a comprehensive history with numerous receipts, and some fascinating hand written letters from Mrs Brunner detailing the history of the car during her and her husband's ownership and letters from DVLA to retain the original registration number. This now offers a scarce opportunity to purchase one of the rarest of Lagonda models. RF60, V5C, MOT and tax exempt See back cover and other illustrations
