1932 Austin 7 AH Tourer. Reg. no. AHK 971. Chassis no. M2690. Engine no. M173675. The significance of the introduction of the Austin 7 in 1922 is well documented, and this little car truly deserves the label icon, as it still remains today one of the most recognisable and fondly remembered ‘old cars’ from the 20th century. The initial design was incredibly simple, and ultimately it was made for a price, giving ‘motoring to the millions’. The early chummy was the start of what became a highly successful model; numerous variations were spawned from this early concept, both here in the UK and abroad. Still today the chummy is one of the most desirable models, and as such hard to find. The chummy, later to become ‘tourer’, evolved and as the chassis’ were extended, so the bodies were made roomier. This combined with the larger doors made the AH tourer a highly practical small family car. This example is in excellent condition, some may even consider the car to be near mint. Clearly the previous owner has lavished a great deal of money on this car, the result being one of the best around. Such AH tourers are a rare sight and that combined with the very high prices asked for earlier chummies, this car appears to be a highly attractive proposition. It is offered with a V5c and a small amount of bills; however this Austin has a history. It starred in the BBC comedy series Dad’s Army and following this filming, the car was laid up and neglected for many years, before being lovingly restored.

1930 Austin 7 Swallow. Reg. no. PG 7630. Chassis no. B7960. Engine no. Unknown. In 1927, William Lyons, co-founder of the Swallow Sidecar Company, saw the commercial potential of producing a re-bodied Austin 7. He bought a chassis from dealer Parkers of Bolton Lyons and then commissioned Swallow’s talented employee, coachbuilder Cyril Holland, to produce a distinctive open tourer, the Austin 7 Swallow. With its bright two -tone colour scheme and a style befitting more expensive cars of the time, together with its low cost (£175), the Swallow proved popular and was followed in 1928 by a saloon version, the Austin Seven Swallow Saloon. Approximately 3,500 bodies of various styles were produced up until 1932, when Lyons started making complete cars under the SS brand. Such was the demand for the Austin Seven Swallows that Lyons was forced to move in 1928 from Blackpool to new premises in Coventry. It was, in part, the success of the Swallows that laid the foundations of what was to become, by 1945, Jaguar Cars.. This is the 17th oldest Mark I Austin Seven Swallow Saloon of the 30 known to the Swallow Register and it was first registered on the 26th March 1930. It has been extensively restored over many years, all of which has been carefully documented, becoming the main feature of a recent edition of The Automobile. The car was purchased by its previous owner in 1963 in a dilapidated condition and over a number of years a great deal of expenditure was lavished on the car; however the restoration received a major setback when the owner became ill in recent years. A family friend, the current owner, took on the final stages of the restoration and the result is a magnificent example of this instantly recognisable motor car. After 50 years of being out of circulation, this Swallow is now back on the road and it has been lightly used. The owner recommends gentle driving initially which is quite normal following a long term restoration. The Swallow’s new owner will now benefit from the many years of hard work.. It is sold with a folder containing a large quantity of bills supporting the work carried out; in addition there is an insurance valuation from the Austin Seven Owners Club for £24,500, a current V5c, an old buff logbook and various photographs supporting the various stages of the restoration.

1934 Austin 7 RP Saloon. Reg. no. LJ 9452. Chassis no. 1887754. Engine no. M190523. The story of how the Austin 7 came to be produced is well documented, and is a true revelation of how this humble little car saved the Austin empire and stopped thousands losing their jobs; it also provided work for many thousands of people and in the end 300,000 examples were sold, giving the buying public the chance to move away from motorcycles and sidecars. The car entered here has been owned by the vendor for the past six years, having been restored by a previous owner. It has won classes at Beaulieu in 2009, 2010 and 2012, which is as good an indication of its condition as any. Due to the current owner’s membership of the Austin Solent Club, the car has been in regular use, through club rallies, the longest of which was to join the Bristol club. The longevity of such cars, in particular after a quality restoration is unparalleled; this car has a V5c, an old style logbook, a current MOT and a selection of bills.
Lot 1617
1969 Austin Healey Ashley GT Fastback. Reg. no. MJH 808H. Chassis no. HAN982S71G. Engine no. TBA. The original Austin Healey Sprite arrived on the market in May 1958 offering an eager public the chance of some ‘fun motoring' at a relatively cheap price. The engine, transmission, rear axle and front suspension were all from the Austin A35, but the steering components would come from the Morris Minor. The secret of its success was that it really was good fun to drive, cheap to run and easy to maintain. Ashley Laminates Limited was formed in 1956 and in its early years produced fibreglass bodies, mainly for the conversion of Austin Sevens and Ford Eights into stylish sports cars. With the arrival of the Frogeye Sprite they branched out into hardtops and lightweight forward-hinging bonnets. A new bonnet was then introduced with a bigger air intake and a central power-bulge for both the Austin Healey Sprite and MG Midgets. In recent years the stylish Ashley bonnets and hardtops have made a return amongst enthusiasts and many club racers, due to their lightweight and aerodynamic slippery lines. These Sprites and Midgets fitted with Ashley bonnets and hardtops are often referred to as Ashley GTs. This example has undergone an extensive course of work. Initially the car was stripped to the body shell and the interior removed. Any corrosion was dealt with and a roll bar then fitted. An Ashley bonnet and an Ashley Flip Tail boot lid were purchased and fitted. New sports seats and race harnesses compliment the original period steering wheel and the external alloy spring race clips. The engine has been completely rebuilt with an alloy rocker cover and braided fuel lines. In addition the underside of the car has been wax-oiled for long term protection. The car has a V5c, a build schedule detailing the work, photographs of the rebuild and a current MOT.
Lot 1623
1968 Austin Mini Cooper S Recreation. Reg. no. RNV 411G. Chassis no. AA25BS1206854A. Engine no. 12H159H18861. The Mini in Austin and Morris form, was in production for over 40 years, and it was a winner from the start. The concept was improved throughout its long life with increases in power, propelling this low centre of gravity motor car to very competitive speeds both on the road, track and also on rallies. Issigonis' friend John Cooper, owner of the Cooper Car Company and designer and builder of Formula One and rally cars, saw the potential of the Mini for competition. Issigonis was initially reluctant to see the Mini in the role of a performance car, but after John Cooper appealed to BMC management, the two men collaborated to create the Mini Cooper. The car featured a race-tuned engine, twin SU carburettors, a closer-ratio gearbox and front disc brakes, uncommon at the time in a small car. A more powerful Mini Cooper, dubbed the "S", was developed in tandem and released in 1963 featuring a 1,071 cc engine with a 70.61 mm bore and ‘nitrided’ steel crankshaft and strengthened bottom end to allow further tuning; and larger servo-assisted disc brakes. 4,030 Cooper S cars were produced and sold until the model was updated in August 1964. The 1,275 cc Cooper S models continued in production until 1971. This recreation is in very good condition having been built some years ago using many original Cooper S parts, including twin petrol tanks, drive shafts, UJs, 7 ½” discs, an S-type speedometer, an eleven stud head and also twin SU carburettors. Cooper S reverse wheel trims finish the ‘correct’ look. The interior has been re-trimmed in red/grey leather and the car has a new set of tyres. It is offered with an MOT that expires in November, and a V5c.
Lot 1629
1930s Austin Saloon. Reg. no. Unknown. Chassis no. Unknown. Engine no. Unknown. This 1930s Austin project probably dates from around 1934, however very little is known about the car. Clearly it requires a great deal of work in order to return it to useable condition, or it could be a donor car for spares. It is sold without any documents.
