1958 Morris Minor, 948cc. Registration number 736 YUF (non transferrable). Chassis number FAA1/619047. Engine number 9M-U-H197520.The post-war Morris Minor, one of Alec Issigonis’s first masterpieces, became nearly as iconic during its 23 years of production as its ostensible successor and sister icon, the Mini. Released in 1948, it used unitary construction and torsion bar front suspension, although some other novel features, like a flat four engine, never reached production.Exports to the United States began in 1949, which required raising the headlamps from their position in the grille in order to meet local legislation. This change was soon adopted across the board. Initially the line included both two- and four-door saloons, and a jaunty little tourer which commanded about a third of the market.After Morris merged with Austin to form the British Motor Corporation (BMC), a Series II Minor was introduced in 1952 with the 803 cc overhead valve Austin A-series engine from the A30. In 1956, the Minor received a major programme of updates intended to keep the car competitive into the 1960s. The dawn of the motorway era necessitated the fitting of a new 948cc variant of the BMC A-Series engine, elevating top speed from 63 mph to 75 mph, and reducing 0-60 mph acceleration from 52.5 secs to 31.3 secs.YUF was owned by Terrance Marshall of York in 2013 before he sold it to Andrew O'Neill in 2014. He fitted new tyres but a growing family meant it was unused since 2015. A new battery has been fitted and it has been driven 20 miles to the saleroom. It will benefit from more recommissioning as the brakes a binding and the fuel gauge does not work.Sold with the V5C.

1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500. Registration number YOA 179T. Chassis number FH 126792. Engine number FM/113303-HE.The Spitfire was conceived by Standard-Triumph to compete in the small sports car market against the Austin-Healey Sprite. The Sprite had used the drive train of the Austin A30/A35 in a lightweight. The Spitfire used mechanicals from the Herald. Where the Austin A30 used monocoque construction, the Herald used body-on-frame — a chassis Triumph was able to downsize, saving the cost of developing a completely new chassis-body unit.Giovanni Michelotti, who had designed the Herald, styled the bodywork, which featured wind-up windows (in contrast to the Sprite and Midget, which used side curtains) and an assembly of the bonnet and wings that opened forward for engine access. The Spitfire's introduction was delayed by its company's financial troubles in the early 1960's and was subsequently announced shortly after Standard Triumph was taken over by Leyland Motors. When Leyland officials, taking stock of their new acquisition, found Michelotti's prototype under a dust sheet in a factory corner, it was quickly approved it for production.The Mark IV featured a redesigned rear design similar to the Triumph Stag and Triumph 2000 models, both also designed by Michelotti. The front end was revised with a new bonnet pressing eliminating the weld lines on top of the wings/fenders, door handles were recessed, the convertible top received squared-off corners. The interior was revised to include a full-width dashboard, with instruments ahead of the driver rather than over the centre console, initially finished in black plastic and beginning in 1973 finished in wood. The 1500 followed in 1974.YOA comes with an extensive history; the Heritage certificate states it was built on the 5th September 1978 but not registered until the 14th February 1979, normal for a sports car.There is history from 1988 when it was owned by Mr Smith when he had the big end bearings replaced as well as a sill. In 1989 Mr Hardman of Chelmsford had the engine built at 88,000 miles. Eric Sullivan of Flitwick was the owner from 1990 and he set about a comprehensive restoration, including the body tub in 1994. MOT's are on file from 1992 at 6,470 miles, by 2007 it had risen to 9,125 miles and and 2017 at 12,290. Our vendor bought it in 2009 and has only added a few miles each year.Sold with the V5C, MOT history, Heritage certificate, large receipts history, this appears to be a well sorted Spitfire, ideal for summer fun.

1928 Triumph Super Seven two seater de Luxe, 832cc. Registration number WW 5202. Chassis number 5282. Engine number 5292.The Triumph Motor Company of Priory Street, Coventry, produced its first car in 1923. The Super Seven, produced between 1927 and 1932, was their third model, designed by Arthur Sykes late of Lea Francis, and Stanley Edge who had assisted Herbert Austin in designing the Seven, and was targeted at the quality economy slot previously filled by Humber and Talbot. Launched in 1927 it had a 832 c.c. side-valve engine with a three bearing crankshaft, mated to a three speed gearbox. It had hydraulic brakes on all four wheels and a transmission handbrake, with a worm drive axle. The 81ins wheelbase frame had semi-elliptics at the front, quarter elliptics at the rear, the wheels could be either artillery or wire. With a top speed of 53 m.p.h. it could cruise at 40 m.p.h. and return fuel consumption rates of 35 to 40 m.p.g.During the long production run many body styles were offered including; 4-Seater Tourer, 2/4-Seater Tourer, Super-Charged Sports, 2-Seater Gnat, Coachbuilt Saloons, Fabric Saloons, 2-Seater Fixed Head Coupe, Close Coupled Saloon Landaulette, Tickford Sunshine Saloon and 4-Door Pillarless Saloon. Prices varied from £149 10s for a 1927 Popular Tourer to £198 for a 1931 Tickford Sunshine Saloon. It is estimated that just under 15,000 Super Sevens were produced with many being exported to Australia in ?rolling chassis? form and some 158 are believed surviving. A supercharged model with a smaller 747cc engine was also available from 1929-30 which could hit 80mph. It was replaced by the Super Eight, a rebadged Super Seven, with the addition of wire wheels, the option of a 4-speed gearbox and bumpers fitted as standard.WW was first registered in Leeds on the 24th March 1928 and its early history is unknown. In 1960 it was photographed at a rally by persons unknown. It was sold by Alec Fenby in June 1998 to our vendors father. He was a retired engineer and started work on getting it mobile again, the brakes were stripped and new pads obtained, the carb was removed and a similar example obtained. Unfortunately the project stalled and it remained partially stripped until our vendor inherited it in 2002. It has remained in the same condition for his tenure.Now being sold as the storage facility is no available, it is sold with the V5C, V5 and receipt from Fenby. The Pre 1940 Triumph Motor Club would be very happy to welcome the new custodian to its ranks

1978 Austin Allegro Special, 1485cc. Registration number TKU 484S. Chassis number AF4SJN-3004121B. Engine number unknown. The Austin Allegro is a small family car that was manufactured by the Austin-Morris division of British Leyland from 1973 until 1982. In total, 642,350 Austin Allegros were produced during its ten year production life, most of which were sold on the home market. The Allegro used front-wheel drive and the familiar A-Series engine with a sump-mounted transmission. The two-box saloon bodyshell was suspended using the new Hydragas system. Stylistically, it went against the sharp edged styling cues that were becoming fashionable (largely led by Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro), and featured rounded panel work. The original styling proposal, by Harris Mann, had the same sleek, wedge-like shape of the Princess, but because British Leyland management, keen to control costs, wanted to install the existing E-Series engine and bulky heating system from the Marina. It became impossible to incorporate the low bonnet line as envisaged and the bodyshell began to look more and more bloated and tubby. This was acceptable to British Leyland, according to Jeff Daniels' book British Leyland, The Truth About The Cars, published in 1980, they wanted to follow the Citroën approach of combining advanced technology with styling that eschewed mainstream trends thus creating long-lasting 'timeless' models. Its unfashionable shape was therefore not a problem to them. The final car bore little resemblance to Mann's original concept that had originally been conceived as an 1100/1300 re-skin. This, as well as British Leyland's faith in it as a model would help turn the company around. TKU was last on the road in 1991 and only has 16,595 miles on the clock. It still wears its original tyres and has never been restored. Sold with the V5C, it will require recommissioning before taking to the road.

1933 Austin 10/4 SaloonReg. no. ALU 215Chassis no. 623461Engine no. IG47772Launched in April 1932, the Austin 10/4 slotted neatly into the Austin range of motor cars, sitting between the small Seven and the larger Light and Heavy 12s. Offering more space for the occupants than the Seven, and more economical than the 12s, the 10/4 would go on to be the company’s best-selling model of the decade. Indeed, the 10hp segment of the market as a whole proved to be vital for all volume manufacturers in the 1930s, with the likes of Morris and Ford both having strong offerings in the class. The Austin, however, has perhaps proved the most lasting; with its classic Austin characteristics of dependability and high-quality construction, 10s have a good survival rate and excellent club support. The 1125cc engine, driving through a four-speed gearbox, is sufficient to propel the car at a good country-road cruising speed, and many 10s are still in regular use with enthusiastic owners.This 1933 10 is in truly excellent all-round condition, having been treated to a nut-and-bolt restoration in 2007. The restoration was carried out extremely thoroughly and to original specification. Fortunately, the original interior leather was in salvageable condition and, reconditioned, still graces the inside of this car; the result is that splendid look and feel that new interiors can never quite replicate. The carpets and headlining are exact copies of the originals, and the exterior is finished in the original colour. The car has the ‘Pytchley’ sliding roof, and a correct rear luggage rack with bespoke wicker basket. The car had a new wiring loom and all the electrics and instruments are said to work, while the car is also reported to drive faultlessly. Surely one of the best 10/4s on the road, this car comes with several service manuals and handbooks, plus some history, the old logbook and a current V5C.

1961 Morris Mini 850Reg. no. 2604 ROChassis no. MA25467119Engine no. UnknownAlec Issigonis’ revolutionary Mini had been launched to great fanfare in 1959, with its innovative use of space and transverse-engined front-wheel-drive design proving the inspiration for many cars to come. The little car soon became a symbol of the Britain of that era, with everyone being captivated by its charms, from those who needed the most basic, economical transport, all the way up to the celebrities of the day and even royalty. There wasn’t much it couldn’t do; a surprisingly spacious small car, that was extremely economical, easy to drive and easy to park, it would also prove a formidable competitor in motorsport, both on the circuits and on the rally stages.This 1961 Mini is the 850cc model, which was one of the launch specifications. At this stage, the cars were still being sold under the Austin Se7en and Morris Mini-Minor names. Featuring the Moulton rubber suspension cones, the 850cc-engined car could reach 72mph – not fast, but many more powerful cars of the day would have been easily left behind when the going got twisty – and would have been so much less practical around town as well. However, this particular example has been upgraded to the engine and gearbox from a 998cc car, giving a useful boost in performance. The car found itself stored in a barn for 26 years prior to 2004; from Christmas 2008 onwards, in previous ownership, it was fully stripped down and the bodyshell sent to Hertford to be completely restored. During this work, it was fitted with new front wings and a new nearside front panel and prepared for a respray. Photographs of this work accompany the car. The reconditioned engine and gearbox were then fitted, together with a new interior from Newton Commercial. Owned by the vendor since December 2021, it is in good all-round condition, and has been MOT tested for peace of mind. The MOT expires in January 2023, while the car also comes with the aforementioned photographs plus bills and a current V5C.

1936 Austin 7 Hamblin SpecialReg. no. VSU 391Chassis no. UnknownEngine no. UnknownAlmost as soon as they first rolled out of Longbridge in 1923, enthusiasts have been experimenting with Austin Sevens, with many thousands of Sevens having been modified and enhanced. By the 1950s, with cheap Sevens in plentiful supply and the British sports car and motor racing industry in excellent health, Seven special-building stepped up another notch with the advent of cars such as the Hamblin. The Hamblin was a kit that could be fitted to a Seven chassis, created by Sidney Hamblin and first launched, in aluminium form, in 1957. In 1958 a fibreglass body was launched, and plenty of tired Sevens saw a new lease of life, transformed into a thoroughly contemporary-looking sports car. Bearing more than a passing resemblance to the Formula racing cars of the day, the Hamblin body also added stiffness to the Austin chassis, and when fitted with some of the tuning parts readily available for the 747cc engine, it could give impressive performance, with some Hamblins cracking 100mph.This Hamblin special was built up in the late 1950s and was treated to a thorough restoration in the early 1990s, at vast cost. It remains in excellent all-round condition. The engine has been prepared to road/race specification, with the car said to be capable of 90+ mph. This exciting sports car comes with various bills, a photographic documentation of the restoration, and a current V5C.
