1967 Wolseley 6/110 2912 cc overdrive. Registration number RLR 241E, chassis number WBS3.33679, engine number 29AWPCH20032. Styled by Pininfarina after HRH the Duke of Edinburgh, who had been shown the BMC model range during a visit to Longbridge in 1955, suggested to the Chairman Leonard Lord "Sir Leonard I think you ought to have another look at things because I am not sure these are up to the foreign competition". The basic vehicle was also sold under two of BMC's other marques as the Austin A99 Westminster and Vanden Plas Princess 3-litre. Production began in 1959 and the cars were updated and renamed for 1961. The Mark II model was released in 1964 with smaller 13-inch wheels and a 4-speed transmission, overdrive was an option. The front seats now reclined with picnic tables on the rear for the passengers. Production of the Mark II ended in March 1968. Many police officers consider the "6/110" as the finest "area car" ever employed by the London Metropolitan Police Force. This example, part of a deceased estate sale, in Connaught Green with green interior, was originally believed to have been a Middle Eastern Embassy car and was purchased in August 1968, having been registered on the 22nd February 1967. Unfortunately the first owner was not recorded on the V5C when the V5 was updated in the late 1970's. It was laid up on blocks in 1979 in a garage with a heater beneath it after being undersealed and all of the chrome covered in grease and has only recently been exhumed since the owner passed away. How much the electric bill has been over the last 38 years does not bear thinking about!! In remarkable condition, the engine is not seized but we have not tried to start her, the body is straight and appears relatively rust free, the interior is in very good condition and should respond well to a good clean. The only noted additions from standard are an eight track player and tow bar. The current mileage is 42,401. Sold with the V5C, three tax discs from 1977, 1978 and 1979, MOT's from 1978 and 1979, plus old newspapers and booklets that were in the car when she was interned.

1974 AUSTIN MAXI, 1748 cc, Registration number SOA 515M, Chassis number AH5SC200755M, Engine number 31321, The Maxi (code name ADO14) was the last car designed under the British Motor Corporation before it was incorporated into the new British Leyland group, and was the last production car designed by famed designer Alec Issigonis. It was in production from 1969 - 1981. Underneath the Maxi's practical and spacious body shell lay an all-new front wheel drive chassis, which was interlinked with an innovative five-speed manual transmission. Power came from a 1485 cc, E-Series engine, the 1750 and win-carburettor 1750 HL models, were added to the range in 1971. One unusual feature of this car was that the rear back seat, as well as folding forward as in a conventional hatchback, also folded back In combination with fully reclining front seats this gave sleeping accommodation. This well-kept example has been in the family since 2002 and has only four owners, they are long term Maxi owners, this being the fourth example the family have owned. The overall good condition of the interior and MOT's from the early 2000's would suggest that the mileage of some 67,000 could well be original. Having been stored for the last couple years the car is now surplus to requirements. Sold with the V5C, owner's handbook, a 2015 invoice for £755 for works associated with the MOT that year, various old MOT's and tax discs. It should be noted that as the car was produced before the 1st January 1976 it no longer requires road tax as it is a historic vehicle.

ROBERT SARGENT AUSTIN Hackney Carriages Etching Signed in the plate Plate size 15.5 x 19.5cm Together with one other etching inscribed to John Platt Richard Platt was a young painter and lithographer in the mid 1950s when British art trod at the edges of abstraction and when barriers between high and low culture were being broken. His father, J G Platt from Lancashire, was a printer who gained a place at the Royal College of Art in 1920 when Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth were fellow students. He became an etcher, woodcutter and engraver and was the principal of Hornsey School of Art until 1965. Following national service Richard Platt also attended the Royal College of Art from 1950 to 1953, along with an eclectic batch of students under the new progressive head Robin Darwin, great-grandson of Charles. Platt bought his fellow students works; that of Peter Blake, John Bratby, Derek Greaves, Cyril Reason, Jack Smith, Joe Tilson and from Mr Bucket the caretaker, who liked to show them how to paint eyes. At Platt's wedding Bratby was his best man. Richard bought the monochrome 'Three Young Bathers' for £5 from Peter Blake, who was about to discard it. Platt wanted a more colourful picture but it was too dear at £15. In 1977 when Blake saw the painting in Richard's Falmouth home he realised he still had the photo from which it was done, saying there was not much ordinary colour photography in 1953. On the back of the painting can be seen the remains of art school portraits from the model, then still a traditional requirement. Richard Platt's work, like that of Smith, Greaves and Tilson, developed from the late 40's through to the early 60's from social realism towards abstraction. After leaving College he exhibited at the Leicester Galleries and painted a mural of a livestock market on the canteen wall of the Working Men's College, Camden. His adept and direct pen and ink drawings of situations and people at work or leisure were transposed into exceptional three colour lithographs and paintings. He left London in 1962 for Cornwall to attempt self sufficiency, to paint and to help raise Falmouth School of Art to national status and acclaim by inviting a wide range of out standing British artists, musicians, writers and poets to visit, to run courses and lecture. In the mid 60's Richard Platt turned to his other love, music. He became a musicologist and devoted his mind to the music of the English 18th century (the 'pop' of the time!) Richard developed Parkinson's and was unable to sign many of his lithographs and drawings himself. Diane Ibbotson, (Platt's 2nd wife) Falmouth, June 2017.

ROBERT SARGENT AUSTIN Salus Infirmorum Etching A gift to John G Platt from the artist Plate size 22 x 18.5cm Richard Platt was a young painter and lithographer in the mid 1950s when British art trod at the edges of abstraction and when barriers between high and low culture were being broken.

A Vintage Austin 7 Drivers Handbook

1964 Austin Mini Cooper S 1071 'Hatchback'Only 4,000 or so 1071cc-engined Mini Cooper S cars were made between April 1963 and August 1964. A Morris version built on January 2nd 1964, chassis K-A2S4-488266 was despatched to the Austin Motor Company's Experimental Department in Longbridge thereafter. Reportedly the sole survivor of just three Cooper S cars converted to hatchback specification and the only one to feature a steel rather than GRP tailgate, the re-badged Mini's first private keeper was the Rt Hon Ernest Marples MP who took delivery on August 22nd 1968. Notable for opening the M1 motorway and introducing more rigorous MOT tests plus the use of breathalysers, the former Minister for Transport is understood to have specifically wanted a hatchback to accommodate his golf clubs and / or the produce of his own vineyard! Having tried to place an order with John Cooper at the Racing Car Show, Lord Marples (as he became) was referred to the Chairman of BMC, George Harriman. As well as a bespoke folding rear bench seat, reversed door handles and special window frames, the unique Mini featured a padded headlining and dash rails not to mention non-standard front indicators and side repeater lights. However, it is not known whether these additions were made at the behest of its safety conscious first owner or while the car was resident in the Experimental Department. Part-exchanged by Lord Marples during 1974 for a Renault 5, the Austin (nee Morris) passed to enthusiast Alan Meaker eleven years later who embarked upon a concours standard restoration that was finally completed in 1994 with the help of Dave Gilbert from Classic Coopers. 'Replacing what I had to . . . repairing what I could', Mr Meaker was able to refurbish the original bodyshell and sourced a correct-type 1071cc S engine as well as factory specification 3.5J x 10inch slotted Cooper S wheels. Having covered just c.100 miles since its engine was overhauled, this historic Mini is deemed by the vendor to be in 'very good overall' condition.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1966 Austin Mini Cooper S PLEASE NOTE: This lot has been in store prior to arriving at the sale. The brakes were working when we photographed the car last month but now need attention. We suspect, but have not confirmed, a loss of brake fluid. - A RHD, 'home market' 1275 Cooper S that was supplied new via Moir & Baxter of Edinburgh - Originally finished in Almond Green with an Old English White roof and Porcelain Green upholstery with Dove Grey inserts - Treated to a full professional respray and mechanical reconditioning in 2008 and sparingly used as part of a private collection since then The chance meeting between John Cooper and Aurelio Lampredi at the 1959 Italian GP is now an established part of Mini folklore. Having charmed a very early 850cc model out of BMC and driven it to Monza, Cooper was accosted by Fiat engineer (and ex-Ferrari F1 designer) Lampredi. Infected by his old enemy's enthusiasm, the Italian asked to borrow the new wonder car. Returning several hours later, he heralded it as the future of automotive design before adding "if it weren't so ugly, I'd shoot myself". Unperturbed Cooper continued to harass Issigonis and BMC until they agreed to build a 'hot' version. Initially conceived as a homologation special, the Mini Cooper was launched in July 1961. Powered by an enlarged 997cc engine and benefiting from front disc brakes, it gave way to a succession of ever quicker variants culminating in the 1275 'S' of 1964. According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, this particular example - chassis C-A2S7 / 893013 - was built to right-hand drive, home market specification complete with fresh air heater, extra fuel tank and oil cooler on 16th September 1966. Originally painted in Almond Green with an Old English White roof and trimmed using Porcelain Green upholstery with Dove Grey inserts - the same livery it pleasingly sports today - the Austin was dispatched to supplying dealer Moir & Baxter Limited of Edinburgh some five days later. Fitted with a Goldseal (factory replacement) MKIII Cooper S engine at some stage, the Mini is further understood to have been re-shelled prior to entering the current ownership during 2008. Reportedly treated to a full professional respray and mechanical reconditioning that same year, the diminutive sports saloon shows an unwarranted 735 miles to its correct-type 120mph speedometer. Still retaining its original Fife 'FFG 927D' registration number, this appealing MKI Cooper S has journeyed down from the Scottish capital especially for the sale.

1950 Austin A90 Atlantic Convertible- Part of a private collection for many years. Currently running but would benefit from recommissioning / fettling- 1 of just 3,718 made and resident in Eire since 1995 (previously UK reg'd as 'GCA 570')- Black upholstery piped in red, older restoration, 10,555 unwarranted milesAimed squarely at the American market, the Austin A90 Atlantic Convertible was a brave gamble that did not pay off. Intended to generate a steady flow of US dollars and so satisfy the British government's ruthless 'export or die' edict, its flamboyant steel bodywork was a riot of bulbous curves, swooping lines and chrome accents. Launched at the 1948 London Motor Show, the Atlantic was underpinned by a rigid cruciform-braced chassis equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a 2660cc OHV four-cylinder engine mated to four-speed column-change manual transmission, it was more boulevardier than sports car. Not that this stopped Austin from pounding one round the Indianapolis Speedway for seven days non-stop! A feat that not only underlined the model's 92mph top speed but also yielded an impressive sixty-three stock car records (the convertible in question managing to average 70.54mph including all stops over its marathon 168-hour run). Although, joined by a companion Sports Saloon in September 1949, the Atlantic failed to capture the American public's imagination or wallets (its failure ironically being blamed on a lack of 'Britishness'). Thus, by the time production ceased in 1952 just 7,981 are thought to have been made (3,718 'soft-tops' and 4,263 'tin-tops')Forming part of a County Wexford based collection for the past twenty-two years, this particular example was previously UK registered as 'GCA 570'. Understood to have been repainted from Red to its current Old English White livery during 1994, the Austin sports Black upholstery piped in Red and a Black hood. Presenting as an older restoration, the A90 Atlantic was seemingly last driven for any real distance in Eire during 2010. Running upon inspection, it would nevertheless benefit from recommissioning prior to road use (the petrol smelt notably stale).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.

1930 Morris Minor OHC Coachbuilt Saloon- Rare surviving Coachbuilt Saloon complete with folding 'Kopalapso' roof- Advanced overhead camshaft engine inspired by a WW1 aeronautical Hispano-Suiza design and shared with the MG M-Type sports car- The subject of much past restoration work but pleasingly retains its original rubber running board inserts and 'cammy' engine etc- Brown leatherette upholstery, opening windscreen, brand new 12volt dynamoIntroduced at the October 1928 Olympia Motor Show, the Morris Minor was conceived as an altogether more sophisticated rival to the Austin 7. Influenced by a Hispano-Suiza World War I aero engine design, the newcomer's advanced overhead camshaft 850cc four-cylinder powerplant was shared with the MG M-Type sports car. Like a big car in miniature, the Minor featured a ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. Available with a choice of open or closed bodywork, the coachbuilt steel saloon derivative was elegant, practical and well-finished. It could also be specified with a fold-back 'Kopalapso' roof for those who wanted to augment the airflow offered by the standard fit opening windscreen. Faced with a marginal per unit profit margin and instances of oil leaking down the drive shaft from the camshaft bevel into the dynamo (a non-issue these days thanks to modern 'O' rings), Morris decided to launch a cheaper sidevalve version during 1931. Thus, just 39,087 'Cammy' Minors were produced over a four-year production run.Finished in Maroon over Black with Brown leatherette upholstery, this particular Coachbuilt Saloon example sports a winged calormeter, 'Kopalapso' fold-back roof, rear-mounted spare wheel and what appear to be the original rubber inserts to its running boards. First road registered as 'WE 9758' by Sheffield County Council on 14th October 1930, the diminutive four-seater has self-evidently been treated to much past restoration work. Further improved by the vendor thanks to the installation of a new 12-volt dynamo, the Morris started readily upon inspection and looks to pleasingly retain its factory-fitted engine (number U29724). A quite delightful Vintage Saloon, this rare surviving 'Cammy' Minor is offered for sale with workshop manual and original instruction book.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1969 Austin Mini Cooper MKII- Built on March 10th 1969 and supplied new via Murray and Charleton Ltd of Middlesborough- The subject of an extensive 'bare metal' restoration from 2010-2011 - A 'matching numbers' example that retains its original bodyshellIntroduced in Autumn 1967, the MKII version of the Mini Cooper had lost none of its predecessor's vim or driving appeal. Powered by a 998cc four-cylinder A-series engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, it was still capable of humbling many a more exotic sportscar when the going got twisty. According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, this particular example was built on March 10th 1969 and despatched to Murray & Charleton Ltd of Middlesborough the following day. Originally finished in Tartan Red with Black upholstery, the Austin was acquired by its previous keeper, Robert Russell of Chelmsford, during November 2009. Having ascertained that the Mini retained its original bodyshell, engine and gearbox, Mr Russell set about an exhaustive 'bare metal' restoration which took over a year to complete (March 2010 - April 2011). An understanding of the lengths he went to can be gleaned from viewing the blog section of www.bornagaincars.com. Suffice to say that the refurbishment would have been wholly uneconomic if Mr Russell who is a System Engineer for the Ford Motor Company had entrusted it to a third party! A testament to the quality of the bodywork rejuvenation, the finished car apparently required no adjustment when checked with laser wheel alignment equipment. Mr Russell overhauled the engine and gearbox too as well as paying attention to the interior, steering, suspension, electrics, carburettors and subframes etc. A real labour of love, the Cooper was acquired by the vendor in April 2013 as a 'starter classic' for his children. Sadly, they have not taken to it and aside from some sunny day outings 'NXG 805G' has been little used. Deemed by the vendor to be 'very good' with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim, the Austin remains a fine testament to Mr Russell's skill. Offered for sale with BMIHT Certificate, V5C Registration Document and MOT certificate valid until May 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)

1967 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII- Original RHD UK supplied example with 62,500 recorded miles- Current ownership since 2007, MOT'd to July 2018 and ready to be enjoyed- Re-painted in 2013, over-drive equipped and known ownership from newDonald Healey's eponymous company built a prototype two-seater sports car for display at the 1952 London Motor Show that not only impressed the public, but also so excited Austin's Managing Director, Leonard Lord, that he struck a deal to build the car in volume at Longbridge. The newcomer was renamed the Austin-Healey 100 and the rest, as they say, is history. The 'Big' Healey enjoyed steady development with the four cylinder cars giving way to the 100-Six of 1956, which was replaced by the first of the 3000s in 1959. The final version was the 3000 MKIII which was launched in October 1963 and mildly upgraded (Phase 2) in May the following year. The most powerful and luxurious of all the models, it had a lively performance courtesy of its 150bhp straight-six engine and featured such niceties as wind-up windows and a walnut veneer facia. 3000 production closed at the end of 1967 after 42,926 had been made, 17,712 of which were MKIIIs.As one of the last of the line, the 3000 offered is a desirable home market MKIII Phase 2 model. Its supporting paperwork confirms it was built on January 15, 1967 and delivered new the following month to Martins Caravan Co. of Exeter. There have been eight other owners including the vendor who acquired the car in April 2007. Over the years the body which was originally finished in Beige was changed to Red and Black before receiving its current hue of British Racing Green in 2013 - it is matched to Black interior trim. The SU carburettors were overhauled last year and 'JTT 673E' is now being offered complete with new hood, tonneau cover, a spare set of five wire wheels, Heritage Certificate, original handbook and sales brochure, details of all past owners, tax discs and MOT certificates (including one valid to July 2018) and an assortment of spares.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.
