Registration No: MLU 459L Chassis No: AA2SAS842627A MOT: ExemptA rare two-door variant of the ADO16Finished in the attractive colour of Black TulipApproximately 90,000 recorded milesRecently fitted with new window rubbers and chrome window trimsIntroduced by the 'British Motor Corporation' (BMC) in 1962 and known officially as the AD016, variants of the ADO16 were available under the Austin, MG, Morris, Riley Vanden Plas and Wolseley brands. The range proved was very popular and for most of its production life (between 1962 and ) was Britain's best selling car. Various versions were available including the Saloon (in two or four-door specifications), Countryman and sportier GT model. Made famous in popular culture by 'Basil Fawlty' giving it a "damn good thrashing" in an episode of Fawlty Towers, ADO16’s are an ever-popular British classic.Manufactured in 1972, this was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 15th of November that year. Fitted with the later 1275cc straight-four A-series engine mated to the four-speed manual transmission. Finished in the attractive colour of Black Tulip with Black vinyl interior upholstery, ‘MLU 459L’ has a recorded mileage of c.90,000 miles and shows nine former keepers on HPI. Said to ‘present well and run and drive well too’, with 'solid underside and floors'. The Austin has also recently benefitted from the fitment of new window rubbers and chrome window trim.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Time and again, the motoring press have extolled its handling and roadholding, frequently finding it more fun to drive than cars costing even four times as much. While it is heartening to appreciate that the DNA of such classic British stalwarts as the MGB, Austin Healey Sprite and Lotus Elan is embodied in this Japanese wonder car, it surely also a little sad to consider what an opportunity was missed by the British motor industry. Nowadays, first generation MX-5s have become desirable cars, with those in good condition increasingly hard to come across and thus fetching significant premiums.Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

Registration No: SVN 773K Chassis No: CC76667L MOT: ExemptRetained in current ownership for the last twelve yearsImported into the United Kingdom in c.1990Subject to a comprehensive restoration shortly after repatriationFitted with wire wheels and an attractive wood-rimmed steering wheelIntroduced in 1968 as a replacement for the outgoing TR250/TR5 models, the Triumph TR6 proved a strong seller on both sides of the Atlantic. Crisply styled, its smooth flowing lines and Kamm tail hid a cruciform-braced chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension, disc/drum brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by a refined 2498cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed plus overdrive manual transmission, it was deceptively fast with contemporary road testers recording 0-60mph in 8.2 seconds and a 121mph top speed. Writing in 1969, Autocar magazine went as far as to comment that "Even if the Austin-Healey 3000 had not been dropped, the TR6 would have taken over as the he-man's sports car in its own right".Manufactured in 1971, this TR6 is understood to have been exported when new to a left-hand-drive market. Fitted with the aforementioned 2.5-litre straight-six engine fed by twin-carburettors and mated to the four-speed manual transmission, the Triumph was repatriated in approximately 1990. Provided with a comprehensive restoration shortly after its return to the United Kingdom, this included a full respray in Green, as presented today. Residing in current ownership since 2009, the Triumph has been fitted with wire wheels shod with Pirelli P6000 tyres all-round as well as an attractive, aftermarket wood-rimmed steering wheel. With a recorded mileage of 94,832 miles (at time of consignment), ‘SVN 773K’ is offered with a current V5C document.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: N210 CFY Chassis No: SAXXNYAXBBD106776 MOT: November 2022A mere 22,493 (atoc) miles from newSupplied new via Windsor’s Limited of Wallasey to its first lady owner who retained the Mini until 2011Only three former keepers with current registered ownership since 2015Offered with the original handbook and service book presented in Rover walletAs owners of the ‘Sprite' name, the Rover Group had two goes at badging Minis with it - the first was in 1983 when Austin-Rover (as-was) built 2500 examples of a ‘youth appeal’ 998cc model fitted with special 10-inch alloy wheels, drum brakes and bold side striping. Available in only red or yellow, this first Sprite also had black bumpers, fixed rear windows and the full instrumentation from the 1275 GT on its side. The 1990s Rover Mini Sprite revived the name and usurped the old ‘City' designation. From its spring 1992 introduction, each Sprite was fitted with a carburettor-fed 50bhp version of the 1275cc motor and had an open-loop catalytic converter. Black wheel arches and grille frontage were teamed with chrome bumpers and standard-fit 12-inch steel wheels on the front disc-braked car. A Sprite script decal was applied to each rear three-quarter panel below the side windows. The model was deleted late in 1996 at the introduction of the `front radiator series of Minis.Manufactured in 1993, the Sprite was supplied new via Windsor’s Limited of Wallasey, Merseyside to its first lady owner. Fitted with the aforementioned 1275cc straight-four A-Series engine with the four-speed manual transmission, the Mini is finished in Red with Grey cloth interior upholstery. Retained by the first owner from 1995 until 2011, the Mini has had three former keepers with current registered ownership since 2015 and has covered a mere 22,493 miles (at time of consignment) from new in the hands of said keepers. Fitted with a new exhaust in 2015 with very minimal mileage since, ‘N210 CFY’ is offered with a history file that includes the original handbook and stamped service book displaying six entries and presented in the original Rover wallet as well as a small collection of invoices, MOT history, current V5C and a copy of a previous logbook.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: CEC 888DChassis No: GAN347147MOT: ExemptCurrent ownership since 2002Offered with a collection of invoices and old MOT'sRestored in the early 2000's with photographs includedRecently fitted with a new front bumper and windscreenFitted with Minilite style alloy wheel and hardtop includedBy the '60s, the MG Car Company had long since been absorbed into the giant British Motor Corporation (BMC). In an effort to fully capitalise on the many respected names in its care, the company embarked upon a programme of 'badge engineering' and the new MG Midget was essentially a MKII Austin-Healey Sprite in a slightly different suit of clothes. In christening its new small sports car 'Midget', BMC revived a name made famous by a range of pre-war MGs. Certainly, the Midgets, old and new, shared the same basic concept - i.e. they were two-seaters clothed in a simple, relatively light body and equipped with front-mounted engines driving the rear wheels. Moreover, they had suspension and brake components etc common to other cars, making them easy to replace or repair and cheap to service. The Midget MK I was introduced in 1961 and ran for a couple of years only with the 948cc engine. In 1962 it was upgraded and the 1098cc engine was fitted and this ran for three years, but surprisingly less examples were made. It was in essence an Austin Healey Sprite with a more attractive grille and side chrome trim; and from 1962 disk brakes were standard.Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: 'Good'Engine: 'Good'Electrical Equipment: 'Good'Paintwork: 'Good'Gearbox: 'Good'Interior Trim: 'Good' Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760

‘Twelve Rolls Royce Merlins roared in unison with twelve fighter pilots crouched in their cockpits alone with their thoughts. This was the day, the hour, the moment of truth ...  I had no feeling of fear, just the intense excitement before any contest. The fact that this was to the death, didn’t cross my mind. I looked down at Cap Gris Nez, and up at the dark surround of smoke which hung predatorily above it from its source on earth.’ Smoke Trails in The Sky, by A. C. Bartley refers The important Battle of Britain Fighter Ace’s ‘1940’ D.F.C. and ‘North Africa - Operation Torch’ Second Award Bar group of seven awarded to Squadron Leader A. C. ‘Bolshie’ Bartley, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve - one of the founder members of the famous 92 Squadron, who is credited with at least 12 Victories, 8 damaged, a number of probables and possibles, and countless unclaimed. Bartley cut his teeth over the beaches of Dunkirk, shooting down two enemy aircraft after his first dogfight, 23 May 1940 - his aircraft riddled with bullets as a result. On the way home, ‘as I was racing back across the Channel, another Spitfire flew up beside me, and the pilot pulled back the hood and started pointing at my aircraft. Then, Bob Tuck came on the intercom and chortled, ‘You look like a sieve, chum.’ I scanned his fuselage and answered back, ‘Just wait until you get a look at your crate.’ Bartley survived a remarkable episode during the height of the Battle of Britain, when he shot down a Do 17, 15 September 1940, ‘I heard a cannon shell explode behind my armour-plated seat back, a bullet whizzed through my helmet, grazing the top of my head and shattering my gun sight, while others punctured my oil and glycol tanks. A 109 flashed by. Fumes then started to fill my cockpit, and I knew without doubt that I had had it, so I threw open my hood, undid my straps and started to climb over the side. As I braced myself to bale out, I saw my enemy preparing for another attack, and knew it meant suicide to jump with him around. Escaping airmen over their own territory were fair game in some combatants’ log book, and a friend of mine had been shot down in his parachute. So, I decided to bluff it out, climbed back into my aircraft, and turned on my attacker. My ruse worked; he didn’t know how hard he’d hit me, but he did know that a Spitfire could turn inside a Messerschmitt, and I fired a random burst to remind him, whereupon he fled for home. By this time I was too low to jump, so I headed for a field and prayed. At a hundred feet, my engine blew up, and I was blinded by oil. I hit the ground, was catapulted out, and landed in a haystack, unharmed. I hit the buckle of my parachute to release it, and as it fell to the ground, the pack burst open spewing forth the silk which had been shredded by splinters of cannon shell. I said a hasty prayer before the first of the rescue party could reach me.’ Bartley’s was a life of extraordinary adventure, during which he was involved in a number of iconic incidents, all of which are reflected in his Log Books and autobiography - a veritable who’s who of stars of the stage, screen and sky. From Winston Churchill to Clark Gable, Noël Coward to Laurence Olivier, and Bob Stanford Tuck to ‘Sailor’ Malan - all ultimately leading to his marriage to the film star Deborah Kerr, of The King and I fame Distinguished Flying Cross, G.VI.R., reverse officially dated ‘1940’, with Second Award Bar, reverse officially dated ‘1943’, mounted on investiture pin, in damaged Royal Mint case of issue; 1939-45 Star, 1 clasp, Battle of Britain, loose; Air Crew Europe Star, 1 clasp, France and Germany; Africa Star; Pacific Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, with seven related and mounted miniature awards, and riband bar for first four awards, the latter indicating the award of a bar to Africa Star, generally very fine or better (7) £100,000-£140,000 --- D.F.C. London Gazette 25 October 1940: ‘Pilot Officer Bartley has shot down at least eight enemy aircraft. He has always displayed great coolness in action and proved himself a clever and determined fighter.’ D.F.C. Second Award Bar London Gazette 16 February 1943: ‘In the operations in North Africa, Squadron Leader Bartley took part in numerous sorties on which he destroyed 2 hostile aircraft, bringing his total victories to 13. His great skill, courage and determination have been an inspiration to all.’ Anthony Charles Bartley was born in Judge’s House, Ramna, Dacca, Bengal, India in March 1919. He was the son of Sir Charles Bartley, KT, a Judge in the Calcutta High Court. Bartley was educated at Stowe, and took up an apprenticeship at a Chartered Accountants in London with a view to joining the East India Company. A useful athlete, Barclay played for Blackheath Rugby Football Club - where his skipper encouraged him to learn to fly at West Malling Flying Club, Kent in 1938. With a sense of impending conflict Bartley applied for a commission in the Royal Air Force, and in May 1939 was posted as an Acting Pilot Officer (on probation) to No. 13 F.T.S., Drem: ‘A whole new life had opened up for me, and I knew that the next few months could make or break it. The sky was now my only goal, my only limit.’ (Smoke Trails in the Sky, by A. C. Bartley refers) With Jamie Rankin (later D.S.O. and Bar, D.F.C. and Bar and C/O of 92 Squadron) as one of his flying instructors, Bartley soon got in to the swing of things: ‘In our off duty time, I learned to play golf, sail a thirty-two foot boat I’d bought with four of my friends and named Pimms No. 4, went into Edinburgh with them on Saturday night drinking safaris, and fell madly in love with the Provost of Edinburgh’s daughter. When war was declared, just after I had got my Wings, I proved that the Oxford was acrobatic by looping the Firth of Forth Bridge, and nothing fell off. In October 1939 I was posted to 92 Fighter Squadron at Tangmere, and after a gargantuan farewell party in the officers’ mess, I headed my MG towards the south.’ (Ibid) The Squadron had reformed primarily from pilots from 601 Squadron, with Roger Bushell (later mastermind of the “Great Escape” from Stalag Luft III) as the commanding officer. As Bartley settled in to squadron routine he noted, ‘A new life line was starting for all of us. Few were to survive it.’ (Ibid) 92 Squadron - Enter the Spitfire, Bob Stanford Tuck and Churchill... The Squadron re-equipped with Spitfires, 6 March 1940, Bartley was 20 years old at the time: ‘My second most exciting experience was to fly a Spitfire for the first time. It was like driving a racing car after an Austin... riding a racehorse, after a hack. It just didn’t seem to want to slow down... the perfection of a flying machine designed to combat and destroy its enemy. It had no vices, carried great fire power, and a Rolls Royce motor which very rarely stopped. An aerodynamic masterpiece, and a joy to fly. The next weeks were spent in a hasty training programme as the inevitable confrontation with the Luftwaffe drew nearer... The more proficient we became in mock combat, the more restless we were to get into the real thing, but our CO knew we were not yet qualified. We lacked a paramountly important element in our team - a second flight commander.... He knew we were unprepared until he’d found one. The arrival of Robert Stanford Tuck at Croydon was as spectacular as his reputation. He buzzed the airfield with every known and, to us, unknown acrobatic before m...

Pilgrimage to the Holy Land by Austin Stack?s Widow [Stack (Mrs. W.)]  Diary of a Trip to Holy Land, written on Cunard White Star Lancastria notepaper and envelope,  21cms x 13 cms, pp 1-13.  Narrates the visit of a group of pilgrims to Mount Carmel, Galilee and Jerusalem, breaking off when they are about to depart for Jericho.  The year is not stated, but it must have been after Stack?s death in 1929 and before the outbreak of World War Two (the Lancastria was sunk in 1940 with thousands of fatalities - the largest single-ship loss of life in British maritime history). Card of Mrs Austin Stack enclosed.  The Kerry republican leader Austin Stack married in 1925 Winifred (Una) Gordon, née Cassidy, the widow of an RIC district inspector.  She died in 1950.

Short Writings of a Victorian Literary Figure, with extra Manuscript Material Taylor (Tom)ed. Pen Sketches by a vanished hand, from the papers of the late Mortimer Collins, with notes by the editor and Mrs Mortimer Collins.  London. 1879.  2 vols, clothbound 20 x 14 cm.    Armorial bookplates of [Lord] Cotton.  Frontispiece portrait.  Several letters pasted or tipped in. (1) The Poet and Novelist Edward James Mortimer Collins (1827-1876) was the author of sparkling lyrics and whimsical novels.  The short pieces in these volumes were edited by his widow, the novelist Frances Dunn, and the prolific dramatist, critic and editor of Punch, Tom Taylor (1817-1880).  The inserts include letters to Mrs Collins from (among others) the poet and essayist Austin Dobson and a printed dedication signed by the poet and critic Edmund Gosse.

The Republican Poetess Cavanagh MacDowell (Maeve) A folder containing a large collection of her original poetry, many signed, probably intended for a collected edition, with about 75 pages typescript (some duplication), including a poem in memory of Hermann Goertz,  and about 15 items in manuscript, some signed, many with corrections, also a typescript list of her works and some other items.   * The folder also includes a sheet in Cavanagh's hand headed 'The night before 1916  in Liberty Hall', giving an important eyewitness account of  the scene in Liberty Hall as Connolly tried to reassure Citizen Army members that the planned Rising had only been postponed.  'I remember how indignantly they exclaimed "Ah they'll never do anything". But Connolly soothed them down and told us all things would go on and it would be only a part postponement.  He then showed us along the passages & into one of the rooms, the girls were still venting their disappointment. Dr. Lynn was there - Helena Molony & Mary Perotz ..'  [See  R.M. Fox's chapter on Cavanagh in his 'Rebel Irishwomen', elsewhere in this sale, where some of this account is confirmed]. The  folder also contains an incomplete letter in an unknown hand, apparently referring to an  occasion when Mary MacSwiney prevented a letter from [Michael] Collins being given to [her brother] Terry, then towards the end of his hunger strike. [It has been reported elsewhere that Collins urged MacSwiney to call off his strike].  There is also a letter or draft letter in Cavanagh's hand  to a newspaper about cock-fighting, and a few childish letters addressed to 'Dear Nan'. The poetry is of mixed  quality.  Cavanagh was not a major poet, but she was not without talent, and the best items in this collection are certainly worth preserving.  Maeve Cavanagh was an early member of the Gaelic League in Dublin; later she moved to Sligo and Derry.  She began writing verses for 'The Peasant', edited by W.P. Ryan, and wrote for various Republican and left-wing papers after her  return to Dublin around 1910. She was often in  Liberty Hall, and on Easter Monday  morning, 1916, she was sent to Waterford with James Connolly's message, 'We fight at noon'. By the time she  was able to return to Dublin, it was all over. Her brother, Ernest Cavanagh, drew cartoons for 'The Irish Worker', for which Maeve wrote the captions.  He was shot dead by a British soldier while standing unarmed on the  steps of Liberty Hall on Easter Tuesday 1916.  As a  collection, w.a.f.  (1) Provenance:   From the Family of Austin Stack.

The 3,995cc 6-cylinder light alloy engine fitted to the DB5 is in all major respects the same as that which powered the 4-litre prototype which ran in the 1962 and 1963 Le Mans 24-Hour races.' – Autocar, 21st May 1965.Aston Martin's post-war evolution had taken a giant step forward in 1958 with the launch of the DB4. Classically proportioned, the Touring-designed body established an instantly recognisable look that would stand the marque in good stead until 1970 and is still being referenced in today's Aston Martins. At its launch in October 1958, the DB4 marked a major turning point for Aston Martin as it was the first car of the David Brown era which neither used a chassis derived from the experimental Atom of 1939 nor an engine co-designed by W O Bentley. Moreover, it was the first Aston Martin to carry Carrozzeria Touring's 'Superleggera' bodywork, in which light alloy panels were fixed to a supporting framework of light-gauge steel tubes. Although styled by Touring, the DB4's gorgeous fastback coachwork was built under license at Newport Pagnell by Aston Martin, which employed some of the finest panel beaters in the industry. The result was a car whose sleek lines were described as 'unmistakably Italian and yet... equally unmistakably Aston Martin'. When the DB4 was introduced, it was Britain's most powerful and fastest production car, and its aerodynamically styled, all-aluminium, Superleggera coachwork looked sensational, establishing a look that would endure for the next dozen years. Touring's Superleggera body construction had been deemed incompatible with the DB2/4-type multi-tubular spaceframe, so engineer Harold Beach drew up an immensely strong platform type chassis for the DB4. The DB2/4's trailing-link independent front suspension gave way to unequal-length wishbones while at the rear the DB4 sported a live axle located by a Watts linkage instead of its predecessor's Panhard rod. The Aston Martin DB4 was also the first of the DB models to employ the entirely new engine designed by Tadek Marek, which had first been seen at Le Mans the previous year in the DBR2. A Polish engineer who had joined the company in 1954, Marek had previously enjoyed a racing career and posts with General Motors and FIAT in Poland. He had designed tanks during WW2 and had arrived at Newport Pagnell from Austin. An all-alloy, twin-overhead-camshaft six like its predecessor, Marek's new 3,670cc engine featured 'square' bore and stroke dimensions of 92mm and developed its maximum power of 240bhp at 5,500rpm. The David Brown gearbox was a new four-speed all-synchromesh unit.Five (unofficially designated) series were built as the model gradually metamorphosed into the DB5. Introduced in July 1963, the Aston Martin DB5 boasted a 4.0-litre engine, this enlarged unit having been seen first in the Lagonda Rapide of 1961. Equipped with three SU carburettors, the '400' engine produced 282bhp at 5,500rpm and was mated to a four-speed/overdrive gearbox, a 'proper' ZF five-speed unit being standardised later. The DB5's distinctive cowled headlamps had first appeared on the DB4GT and the newcomer was the same size as the lengthened, 'Series V' DB4. Outwardly there was little to distinguish the DB5 from the last of the DB4s apart from twin fuel filler caps, though these had already appeared on some cars. Beneath the skin, however, there were numerous improvements including alternator electrics; Girling disc brakes instead of Dunlops; Sundym glass; electric windows; and an oil pressure gauge as standard equipment. From September 1964 the 314bhp, triple-Weber Vantage engine became available and was fitted to a total of 95 cars. The DB5 was also offered in convertible form (the 'Volante' name would not be applied to the soft-top Aston until the DB6's arrival), while independent coachbuilder Harold Radford offered a shooting brake conversion. 1,021 DB5s were manufactured between July 1963 and September 1965, a total that included 123 convertibles and 12 shooting brakes. The DB5 was the first and remains the most famous of all the 'James Bond' Aston Martins, having appeared in no fewer than five movies of the series beginning with Goldfinger in 1964. Equipped with rocket launchers and sundry other gadgets, 007's DB5 was finished in Silver Birch with red interior, in which specification it was later issued by Corgi Toys. This matching-numbers DB5 has had only four owners from new. The Aston spent 32 years off the road before being rescued as a 'barn find' some seven years ago. It was then treated to a body-off, chassis-upwards, full restoration by renowned marque specialist Rikki Cann, which took four years to complete and included rebuilding the engine to 4.2 litres capacity. The restoration cost almost £400,000 and is fully documented by invoices and photographs. Finished in its original exterior colour of Dubonnet Rosso, with Magnolia hide trim, and described by the private vendor as in concours condition throughout, 'GPA 655C' represents a wonderful opportunity to own what for many enthusiasts is the ultimate Aston Martin.

1937 Jaguar SS 100 3½-Litre Sports TourerRegistration no. CKF 888Chassis no. 18066•One of only 314 SS 100 models made•Originally a 2½-Litre car•Present ownership since 1990•Carefully stored for the last 25 yearsFootnotes:Launched for 1936, the SS100 was the first real high-performance model produced by SS Cars Limited and used a new Weslake-developed overhead-valve engine in a shortened SS1 chassis. The introduction of the OHV unit was considered to justify the adoption of a new name for the series, SS Cars boss William Lyons later recalling 'I immediately pounced on Jaguar as it had an exciting sound to me.' ('Jaguar' would be adopted as the marque name in 1943, 'SS' having by then acquired a somewhat tarnished reputation).'SS' originally stood for the Swallow Sidecar & Coachbuilding Company, which had been founded in Blackpool, England by William Walmsley. The company branched out into motor manufacture in 1926, its first major success being an attractive sports saloon on the Austin Seven chassis, the design being the work of Walmsley's partner, one William Lyons. Relocation to Coventry followed and the Swallow range expanded to include models on Morris Cowley, Wolseley Hornet and Standard Sixteen chassis. Marque status arrived in October 1931 with the launch of the SS1, the chassis of which was supplied exclusively to Swallow by Standard, who also provided the six-cylinder sidevalve engine and four-speed gearbox. Although unspectacular in performance, the SS1 went some way towards establishing the pattern for future Jaguars, combining sporting good looks with a better-than-average specification and all at a bargain price. By the time the SS90 sports car arrived in 1935, William Heynes had joined as Chief Engineer. Based on a shortened SS1 chassis, re-engineered by Heynes, the SS90 again demonstrated Lyons' consummate skill as a stylist, its long bonnet, smoothly flowing wings, cut-away doors and truncated tail making it every inch the epitome of the 1930s sports car. Although good for 90mph, the SS90 was handicapped by the limitations of its sidevalve engine, a deficiency that would soon be rectified by another of Lyons' new recruits, gas-flow consultant Harry Weslake. Launched in 1936 alongside the 2½-Litre saloon, the SS100 Jaguar sports car marked the company's first use of the 'Jaguar' name. Beautifully styled in the manner of its SS90 predecessor, the newcomer employed a shorter, 102'-wheelbase chassis and a revised version of the 2,663cc Standard six which, equipped with Weslake's overhead-valve cylinder head and breathing through twin SU carburettors, now produced 104bhp. Although a fine touring car, the SS 100 was marketed as primarily for competition work. Its first major success came early, if somewhat unexpectedly, when Tommy Wisdom, crewed by his wife, won the arduous International Alpine Trial in 1936, beating Bugatti and bringing the fledgling marque to the attention of the Continental public. This would be the first of many successful rallying forays, including class wins in the RAC events of 1937 and 1938, and the Alpine (outright) again in 1948. Around 198 2½-Litre and 116 of the later 3½-Litre cars had been made by the time SS 100 production was prematurely ended by the outbreak of war.Originally a 2½-Litre model, chassis number '18066' is one of only 314 SS 100s built. The car was supplied new in 1937 to Henlys, Jaguar's main distributor in London, for use as a demonstrator and show car (see Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate and letter on file from the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club, dated 27th March 1990). 'CKF 888' was purchased by the vendor's deceased husband at auction in February 1990 (bill of sale on file). It appears to have been imported into the UK earlier in 1990 (there is a photocopy C&E 386 form in the document file) while a plaque on the dashboard appears to relate to a previous owner: Dwight F Brooks of Pasadena, California. After acquisition, the late owner retrieved the original registration and appears to have had significant work carried out on both the bodywork and mechanicals, as evidenced by various invoices in the history file. Some of these invoices refer to parts for a 1947 3½-litre engine (the 'S' number prefix of the car's engine identifies it as such). Photographs in the history file show the car with the body removed, and also parts of the running gear. Following the work's completion, the car was used on an occasional basis for shows and ralliesThis car, along with others from the same vendor, has been standing for up to 25 years and like the others, was running and usable when laid-up. The vendor's husband died in 1996, and his collection of cars remained mostly unused from that time. They were all stored in a purpose-built, heated and dehumidified building, which the deceased gentleman had commissioned solely for the purpose of storing his cars. Having been standing for that period of time, they will require careful re-commissioning and safety checks prior to use by a new owner. Accompanying documentation includes a current V5C; two expired MoT certificates; miscellaneous papers; and the aforementioned copy C&E 386, invoices, and JEC letter. There is also a copy spare parts list and copy instruction book with the car, which is presently on SORN. It should be noted that the V5C erroneously records the engine number as '5529'. The SS100 was one of the fastest and best-handling sports cars of its day, as its competition record both before and after the war bears witness to. Representing a rare opportunity to acquire an example of the model that can be said to have started the Jaguar legend, '18066' is eligible for a wide variety of the most prestigious historic motor sports events.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The ex-David Shale, Tony Lanfranchi, Arthur Carter1955 Austin-Healey 100S Sports-Racing Two-SeaterRegistration no. EVV 106Chassis no. AHS 3509•One of only four UK-supplied examples•Extensive in-period competition history•Extensively documented from new•Part of the Arthur Carter Collection for 42 years•Present ownership since 2014Footnotes:'The prime motive of all our competition motoring was to generate publicity that would increase sales of the production model, the '100'... We were under pressure from distributors, particularly in America, to build specially prepared cars to meet demands from customers.' – Geoffrey Healey, The Healey Story. Thus was born the fabled 100S, one of the rarest and most highly sought after of all Austin-Healey sports cars. Donald Healey's stylish Austin-Healey 100 had caused a sensation when it debuted at the 1952 London Motor Show. Intended as a low-cost, high-performance, limited production sports car and aimed at the US market, which took almost 100% of production initially, the Austin-Healey 100 sourced its major components from the Austin Atlantic saloon. In fact, the car first appeared at Earls Court badged as a 'Healey Hundred' and was re-badged 'Austin-Healey' while still on its stand after Austin boss Leonard Lord bought the rights to the design. It was just as well that he did, for Healey would take over 3,000 orders during the Show yet his company had never made more than 200 cars in a single year!Lord had been happy to agree to supply Austin Atlantic components as the model had not been selling well in its intended market - the USA - and was scheduled for deletion. Low-revving and torquey, the Atlantic's 2,660cc four-cylinder engine produced an unremarkable 90bhp but when installed in the lighter and more streamlined Healey the result was a genuine 100mph-plus car capable of reaching 60mph in under 11 seconds. A three-speed gearbox equipped with overdrive on the top two ratios was an unusual feature of the original BN1, which was superseded by the short-lived, conventional four-speed BN2 for 1956. In 1953 a team of drivers including Donald Healey and George Eyston set a host of international and AMA speed records at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats driving two Healey 100s. Highlights including a maximum speed of 143.626mph and 1,000 kilometres at an average of 127.00mph achieved by the tuned car and 24 hours at an average of 104.3mph set by the AMA-selected 'off-the-showroom-floor' example. A muscular sports car to delight the purist, the 100 was not bettered by its six-cylinder successors in terms of outright performance until the introduction of the Austin-Healey 3000 in 1959. The project that would culminate in the 100S model began in 1953 when the factory began preparing the Austin-Healey 100 for competition. Dunlop disc brakes were one of the first important upgrades, followed in 1954 by the adoption of a Weslake-designed, 'single-port', aluminium cylinder head. Instead of the three-speed overdrive gearbox of the standard production model, the 100S was fitted with the new C-series four-speed unit. Healey's body suppliers, Jensen, built the 100S bodies in aluminium, the slightly different frontal treatment with its smaller oval radiator intake having been arrived at during development. There was no weather equipment, merely a low Perspex windscreen, while another of the model's distinctive features was its seats with their vertically slotted backs. A 20-gallon fuel tank filled the boot. Weighing 2,960lb (891kg) and with a claimed 132bhp on tap from its tuned engine, the 100S was good for a top speed of around 130mph (210km/h). When a prototype driven by Lance Macklin and George Huntoon finished an excellent 3rd overall at the Sebring 12-Hour Race in March 1954, it seemed only logical that the competition version should be called the 100S. The new car was premiered at the London Motor Show in October 1954 with deliveries commencing in February '55. Austin-Healey's contemporary advertising made much of the recent successful speed record attempt at Bonneville, Utah where a prototype had run for 24 hours, averaging 132.2mph. Excluding prototypes and 'Special Test Cars' to 100S specification, only 55 production versions were made, all being completed during 1955 and all with right-hand drive, most of which were despatched new to the USA. At most only 38 are believed to survive today.During the 1950s the Austin-Healey 100S was most accessible, most appealing and in many cases the most successful club-racing car available to any aspiring racing driver. This particularly appealing, and highly successful in period, Austin-Healey 100S is a shining example of the type. It has an outstanding record as a club-racing contender over a seven-year period from 1955 to 1962. 'EVV 106' was distinguished almost from new by two distinctive features. Firstly – as required by first owner David Shale – the car was equipped with an Aston Martin gearbox during production. And within days of its delivery to David Shale in February 1955 he had its paintwork changed from the standard Old English White over Lobelia Blue to British Racing Green, a colour that it wears to this day. The car was first UK road registered on 2nd March 1955, and evidence of its early paint change survives in a photograph of the car taken at one of its maiden outings in Mr Shale's hands, at the British Empire Trophy meeting at Oulton Park in April 1955.From 1955 to the present day, 'EVV 106' has had only seven owners: David Shale (1955-57), Mike Kellett (1957-58), the future multiple British club-racing champion Tony Lanfranchi (1958-1960), and the last of its great club-racing owners Derek Buller-Sinfield (1961-62). The retired warhorse was then acquired by Norfolk farmer-cum-noted Austin-Healey collector Arthur Carter, in whose hands it was preserved and maintained for the following 42 years, before being acquired by the immediately preceding owner in 2004. Furthermore, 'EVV 106' is one of only four 100S models originally sold and raced in the UK home market, and has the distinction of being domiciled in the UK since new.David Shale drove the car in its club racing debut outing at Goodwood Motor Circuit on 26th March 1955, finishing 2nd, and on 30th May 1956 took a 3rd place at the short-lived Davidstow aerodrome circuit in Cornwall. After failing to finish in the higher-level British Empire Trophy race meeting in April, he recorded four fine race wins, the first at Aintree and subsequently three at Silverstone. Never averse to compiling many road miles on the way to (and from) club race meetings around the British mainland he also achieved 2nd-place finishes at Brands Hatch in Kent, Mallory Park in Leicestershire, Snetterton in Norfolk and Davidstow. He also added a 3rd place at Brands Hatch and two more at Silverstone to the car's growing list of club race laurels. David Shale finished the season as runner-up in the 1956 Autosport Championship.The car was then acquired by second owner Mike Kellett, in whose hands a 2nd place was achieved at Croft in September 1957 and a 3rd at Marston Moor, followed in 1958 by 2nd and 4th-place results at Full Sutton, the very fast Yorkshire aerodrome circuit. Overall, it was raced at least 18 times in his ownership and remained a competitive contender against newer opposition.Tony Lanfranchi, from Huddersfield, then acquired the car and learned much about his chosen sport in it before going on to become one of the most colourful characters of the British and international motor racing scene. In 'EVV 106' he won the 1959 Catterick hill-climb, and 3rd places in the Burton Sprint and at the Mallory Park circuit. Derek Buller-Sinfield continued the Healey's regular competition career into 1962, at which time it was acquired as one of the foun... For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
