Registration - R994 BWTChassis No - SAXXPDNADBD157772M.O.T. - NoneOdometer - 14,600Here we have the potential bargain of the sale – a totally original Rover 100 that’s covered just 14,611 warranted miles from new and is being sold at No Reserve. In short, if you are seeking an economical university runabout for your son or daughter, then ‘R994 BWT’ could well fit the bill perfectly. Its red three-door hatchback bodywork is teamed with Ascot grey/fawn cloth interior trim that’s in unmarked condition. The Rover is powered by an 1120cc version of the K Series engine, drives through a five-speed manual gearbox, and rides on steel wheels shod in quality BFGoodrich tyres. It has had a total of seven keepers to date, and was acquired by the current one a year ago. He says the car ‘runs and drives superbly’ and presently grades the four-cylinder engine, transmission and upholstery as ‘excellent’ and the bodywork and paintwork as ‘good’, and is now selling the car complete with new fuel pump, Philips radio/cassette and history that supports the ultra-low indicated mileage. The Rover 100 was the final iteration of what started life as the Austin Mini Metro. That model first saw the light of day in 1980 and was intended as a larger alternative to the classic Mini, which was now 21 years old. Some of the Mini’s proven underpinnings were carried over; not least its sub-frame mounted 998 and 1275cc engines that drove the front wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox. The suspension was a version of the Allegro’s Hydragas system. The newcomer was initially just sold in three-door Hatchback form, but the packaging was good, accommodation deceptive and the ride and handling much lauded, and the model became a big seller, with a million finding homes within the first 10 years of production. By May 1990, the Austin had been heavily revised and morphed into the Rover Metro, complete with a new range ofK Series engines, and by December 1994 even the Metro moniker itself had been consigned to history and the car renamed the Rover 100. In summary:Just 14,611 warranted miles and seven keepers from newAn original unmolested example with ‘unmarked’ interiorEntered from a deceased estate and being sold at No Reserve

Registration - 305 NYAChassis No - AA2S7-D148784M.O.T. - August 2024Odometer - 31,269 This early, floor-start example of Alec Issigonis’ mould-breaking small car has recently emerged from a major restoration - its rebuilt original 848cc engine has subsequently covered just 100 miles. The body is freshly painted in the same Almond Green colour it bore when it left the factory, while the new light green and grey interior trim is also to original specification, and the Mini rides on period-correct 10” cream-painted steel wheels shod in Falken Sincera SN-807 tyres. A nice, and rare touch are the two wicker baskets housed under the rear seat – a little-known option back in the day. The vendor describes all aspects of the newly-restored car as ‘excellent’ and informs us that ‘305 NYA’ has been in the same family ownership for 20 years – not the more usual father-to-son story, however, but son-to-father! The enthusiast pair – the fifth and sixth keepers - have compiled two ‘huge’ history folders’. The Heritage Certificate shows that the matching-numbers vehicle rolled off the Longbridge production line on September 13, 1961, and was despatched to Taunton Motor Company in Somerset two days later (the dealer plate is still displayed on the driver’s door sill). It was then issued with registration ‘305 NYA’ on October 27. Sensitively restored and very well presented complete with 12 months’ worth of MOT, this charming little motorcar should provide its next owner with many years of fun motoring. The classic Mini needs little introduction. BMC’s compact, two-door, four-seater may have first gone on sale in August 1959 but is inextricably linked to the Swinging Sixties. Designer Alec Issigonis maximised the space available for passengers and luggage by mounting the 850cc A Series engine transversely and driving the front wheels, making it a far more practical proposition than its diminutive proportions initially suggest. The model was first marketed as the Austin Seven and Morris Mini-Minor, with the Austin Seven being renamed the Austin Mini in January 1962, and the Mini marque itself coming into being in 1969. In summary:A newly-restored, matching numbers, floor-start exampleSame family ownership for the past 20 years; six keepers in totalJust 100 miles covered since completion of the restoration

Registration - 815 YUKChassis No. - AN5-L/39237M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 6,763 This bonnie specimen was imported from America and first UK registered in March 2012, since when it has had just the one registered owner - ie the late father of the vendor, who we gather lavished a considerable level of time and money on the car. It apparently started life in yellow, but is now resplendent in dark blue, that’s matched to blue interior trim, an (as yet unused) red hood, and silver-painted wire wheels. The vendor informs us that the Frogeye was campaigned in speed hillclimbs while in the US, hence the conversion to knock-off wheels and what is thought to be a 1275 rather than the original 948cc A Series engine. He confirms that while in his father’s tenure the car was always garaged and well maintained, and he currently regards the powerplant, four-speed manual transmission, bodywork, paintwork and upholstery as all being in ‘good’ order. He volunteers that the twin SU carburettors would now benefit form a tune-up, but otherwise reckons the Sprite is good to go, and is selling it complete with a brand new battery, tonneau cover, Moto-Lita woodrim steering wheel and history file. Thanks to its prominent, bonnet-mounted headlights, the original Sprite quickly became known as the ‘Frogeye’ - a moniker that has stuck to this day. The little two-seater, designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company and built by BMC at the MG factory in Abingdon, was launched in Monte Carlo immediately prior to the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix. The unique, one-piece bonnet covered a mildly tuned, 43bhp 948cc version of the BMC A series engine already found in the Austin A35 and Morris Minor. The suspension was by coil springs and wishbones at the front and quarter elliptic springs at the rear, with lever arm dampers all round. The construction was ‘integrated’ rather than a full monocoque and featured forward projecting chassis legs of the type used in the E-Type Jaguar. The minimal specification excluded exterior door handles and boot lid. Some 49,000 Frogeyes were built between 1958 and 1961. In summary:One caring UK owner since being imported from the USA in 2012Features wire wheels and Moto-Lita woodrim steering wheelEquipped with an as yet unused red hood and new battery

Registration - YDT 385GChassis No - GCN1/2096GM.O.T - ExemptOdometer - 6,812 (unwarrented) This decidedly good-looking Snowberry White MGC roadster was the pride and joy of the vendor’s late father and was the transport of choice for her wedding last year. A righthand drive, matching numbers example, it has remained within the family’s care since November 2015, during which time it has been reserved for sunny weekends and visits to car shows. We are informed that the engine was rebuilt by Vic Young in 2005 and these days sports a trio of HS6 SU carburettors and an 18-row oil cooler. The subject of a comprehensive restoration in 2012/2013, the MG also now features a stainless-steel exhaust system, uprated front disc brakes, Spax adjustable dampers and rides on Minilite-style alloy wheels shod with good quality Avon tyres. The nicely patinated white-piped black leather interior is apparently original aside of its desirable Moto-Lita wood-rim steering wheel. Always ‘dry stored and well maintained’, this fine manual gearbox roadster comes complete with a chrome luggage rack and is accompanied by a comprehensive history file that includes a BMIHT Heritage Certificate. Intended as a flagship sports car to replace the Austin-Healey 3000, the MGC was introduced in the autumn of 1967. Based around the two-door monocoque bodyshell of the humble B, the newcomer was powered by a 2912cc OHV straight-six engine allied to either a new heavy-duty, all-synchromesh, four-speed manual overdrive gearbox, or three-speed automatic transmission. Other mechanical differences included: a larger radiator, torsion-bar front suspension, telescopic dampers and lower geared rack and pinion steering. The C was visually distinguished from the B by its 'power bulge' bonnet and taller 15-inch wheels. While early road tests criticised the car's 'nose heavy' handling (the engine was 209 lbs heavier than the B’s and the weight distribution was 53:47), later reports were kinder. With some 145bhp and 170 lb ft of torque, the model could complete the 0-60mph dash in around 10 seconds and hit 120mph flat out. Sadly, too readily confused with its smaller-engined brother, it was axed in 1969 after just 4,544 roadsters and 4,458 GTs were made. Now, 50-plus years later, the MGC's lack of period sales success only serves to make it more collectible. In summary:A notably well-presented, matching numbers, home market exampleThe subject of an engine rebuild in 2005 and restoration in 2012Features upgrades to engine, brakes, suspension and exhaust

Registration - K232 FYKChassis No - TBCM.O.T. - 09/2024Odometer - 84,000The vendor has apparently owned this cheeky 1993 Sprite for eight years. It was his first car, and we understand it to have been used regularly and well maintained but dry stored through the winter months. In recent times it has benefited from new front wings, rear valance, sills and wheels, and been resprayed in its original livery of Diamond White. The original interior has also received attention, with the centre console and facia having been renewed. The vendor admits the Mini has seen little use since the lockdown, but confirms that it’s a ‘reliable little car that does what it should’. He currently grades the engine, manual transmission, bodywork and upholstery as ‘excellent’, and the electrics and paintwork and tyres as ‘good’. It now seeks a new owner and is being offered complete with Sony radio/CD unit coupled to a separate amp and pair of parcel shelf-mounted speakers, its original handbook, pair of keys and a collection of old MOT certificates, plus a fresh one with 12 months to run. It is doubtful if any other model of car can match the classic Mini for the number of special editions it inspired. The Sprite was created in the autumn of 1983 in anticipation of the model’s upcoming 25th anniversary. It revived a name last used for the baby Austin-Healey back in 1971, and offered an intermediate level of trim between that of the Mini City on which it was based and the plusher Mini Mayfair. It was powered by the well-proven 998cc version of the A Series engine and initially offered in either Cinnabar Red or Primula Yellow matched to grey herringbone upholstery; though a number of other colours were later used. The Sprite rode on 5x10 inch Exacton alloy wheels and featured Mini Special wheel arch extensions, twin door mirrors, and 1275 GT instrumentation. The production run was 2,500 units. In summary:A tidy, well cared for specimen currently displaying 84,873 milesThe subject of a degree of recent bodywork restorationDeclared a Category D insurance write-off in August 2017

Registration - UTV 445HChassis No - AASAS630387AM.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 42,400In common with Ford’s ubiquitous Cortina, the BMC multi-badged 1100/1300 model was once a top seller in the UK yet, according to the popular website ‘How Many Left’, there are currently only 314 Austin 1300 examples left in the UK, just 170 of which are licenced, of which ‘UTV 445H’ is one. Its vendor informs us that the car has recently been treated to a considerable degree of restoration and a full respray, and it certainly presents well with its fresh brown paintwork being complemented by tan leatherette upholstery. According to the driver’s door footplate the Austin was supplied new to its first keeper by Morkel and Carnill Ltd of Nottingham, and it was first registered on July 14, 1970. There have been a further five keepers since that time, but the vendor is satisfied that the total displayed mileage of 42,328 is correct, and presently considers the A Series engine, four-speed manual gearbox, four-door bodywork, paintwork and upholstery to all be in ‘excellent’ order. The car is now on offer complete with refurbished brake system, window etching, and stainless-steel wheels trims Owing to the overt success of the Mini, it made eminent sense to employ the same designer to create a successor for the larger Austin A40 and Riley 1.5. Codenamed ADO16, the newcomer launched with a Morris badge in August 1962 was therefore penned by Alec Issigonis, and echoed the Mini in having an ‘A’ Series engine mounted east-west up front, driving the front wheels. Its technical innovations included single-piston swinging caliper disc front brakes and a ‘Hydrolastic’ interconnected fluid suspension system. The appealing styling was the work of Carrozzeria Pininfarina which, with minor adjustments, went on to wear not only Morris but Austin, MG, Riley, Wolseley and Vanden Plas badges during the model’s 13-year reign, over which 2.1million examples were sold. In summary:A six-owner example currently displaying a credible 42,328 milesRecently treated to a degree of renovation and full resprayAll windows etched with the car’s registration number

Registration - FSK 836Chassis No - WNI-3062M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 16,946 This splendid, fully restored Champ arguably looks as smart as it would have done on entering army service on June 17, 1953 via the receiving depot at Ashchurch Army Camp near Tewkesbury. ‘FSK 836’ is presented in military livery, with green bodywork, tan vinyl interior trim and green canvas tilt, and is equipped with sturdy Deestone all-terrain tyres, twin rear-mounted radio aerials, tow hook, 20-litre water can, exterior-mounted pickaxe and spade. It is unusual in being equipped with doors – making life a little less challenging when enjoying a military event in inclement weather. The odometer currently shows a total mileage of 16,946, which is evidently supported by the accompanying MOTs, with just 945 covered since 2007. The Austin has been in its current ownership for some 10 years, during which time it’s always been dry-stored. The vendor presently describes the engine, transmission, electrics and interior as ‘excellent’ and the bodywork and paintwork as ‘good’. During its army service the Champ bore the registration 30BE62. It was then rechristened ‘FSK 836’ when demobbed on March 4, 1964. Inspired by the ubiquitous American Jeep, the Champ was a British military vehicle designed immediately post WWII and manufactured from 1951 to 1956, at which point it was supplanted by the cheaper Land Rover. The lightweight 4x4 was powered by an Austin-built Rolls-Royce-designed four-cylinder petrol engine of 2838cc. Ultimately only 11,732 of the contracted 15,000 Champs were produced, all of which had been moved from front line army service to the territorial Army by the mid ‘60s, and were then sold into the private domain from 1968. Though their service life was curtailed by cost, they boasted impressive cross-country capabilities and could even touch 50mph in reverse – something neither the Jeep nor Land Rover could match. In summary:A rare example, being equipped with doorsThe low mileage of 16,946 is apparently supported by the MOT historyFully restored and ready to enter into service with a new owner

Registration - WDC 533SChassis - GAN6-202917GM.O.T. - September 2024Odometer - 81,323 ‘WDC 533S’ vacated the Abingdon production in late 1977, though it was not registered until March 22 the following year. The home-market MG has remained in the care of its current keeper for the last five years and has apparently been the subject of a considerable degree of restoration, including a full respray. The vendor now considers its five-speed manual transmission and two-seater bodywork to be in ‘excellent’ order, classes the four-cylinder engine and black vinyl upholstery as ‘good’, and the yellow paintwork as ‘average’. He is now offering the rubber-bumpered Midget complete with black hood, roll hoop, Moto-Lita wood-rimmed steering wheel, Caliber stereo system, brand new set of JDM Minilite-style alloy wheels, and a current MOT valid for the next 12 months. By 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, and initially powered by a 948cc A-Series engine. By the time of the 1966 MKIII, the motor’s capacity had increased via 1098cc to1275cc, semi-elliptic rear springs had replaced the quarter elliptics, and the front brakes were now discs. There were also wind-up windows and a superior hood. In 1972 a lower-geared Triumph steering rack was fitted, a second silencer added and the dynamo ousted in favour of an alternator. The final iteration, the MKIV, brought deformable federal bumpers allied to an increased ride height and a new engine and gearbox – the 1,493cc and four-speed manual units from the Triumph Spitfire. With 66bhp now on tap, the venerable little two-seater was capable of a genuine 100mph flat out. A total of 226,001 Midgets were built between 1961 and 1979. In summary:A very usable four-keeper example registering 81,323 milesUnderstood to have benefited from considerable recent restorationComes with new alloy wheels, woodrim steering wheel and roll hoop

Registration - UYC 776GChassis No. - WA5418517M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 52,871 Considering BMC’s 1100/1300 range of cars topped the UK sales charts for no less than eight years between 1963 and 1971 it’s amazing how rarely examples are seen these days, and we’ve no doubt this tidy-looking Wolseley version turns a few heads whenever it ventures out. It’s had just four keepers from new, the most recent of which has retained the car for the last seven years. Along the way its original automatic transmission has been replaced by a four-speed manual gearbox and a rebuilt, lower-mileage MG 1300 engine fitted in place of the Wolseley one. It has also benefited from a range upgrades, including: a pair of rebuilt Cooper S carburettors, conversion from dynamo to alternator, and addition of a brake servo, electronic ignition and performance plugs and leads, and 13-inch steel wheels shod with good quality Avon tyres. The original front seats have been replaced with a pair of heated hip-hugging ones, the headlining renewed and high quality red-piped blue carpets installed. The vendor informs us that the body and subframes ‘are very solid and have been regularly Waxoyled’, and he currently classes the engine and gearbox as ‘excellent’, and the four-door bodywork, Trafalgar Blue and black paintwork and red leather upholstery as ‘good’. He is now offering the Wolseley complete with aftermarket rev-counter, pair of period spot lights, tow pack, mud flaps and a Sony audio unit. Owing to the overt success of the Mini, it made eminent sense to employ the same designer to create a successor for the larger Austin A40 and Riley 1.5. Codenamed ADO16, the newcomer launched with a Morris badge in August 1962 was therefore penned by Alec Issigonis, and echoed the Mini in having an ‘A’ Series engine mounted east-west up front, driving the front wheels.

Registration - RSK 173Chassis No. - ANSL2789M.O.T. - April 2024Odometer - Odometer reads 4,500 (Speedo has been changed) This tidy-looking Frogeye is finished in Old English White and trimmed in black vinyl. It has had four keepers since being imported from the USA in 1991, the most recent of whom, a member of the Midget & Sprite Club, has retained the car since 2014. He informs that it is still powered by its original 948cc A Series engine, but that the speedometer was renewed in 2012, the bodywork restored in 2014 and, over time, the brightwork and steering wheel refurbished and the seats recovered. He presently regards the powerplant, four-speed manual gearbox, two-seater bodywork, paintwork and upholstery to all be in ‘excellent’ order. The little Sprite is now offered complete with soft top, tonneau in excellent condition, standard hard top and sports hard top, both in need of renovation. Further desirable extras to accompany the car include Philips radio/cassette, aftermarket voltmeter, a stack of invoices and selection of old MOTs, plus a current certificate valid into April next year. Thanks to its prominent, bonnet-mounted headlights, the original Sprite quickly became known as the ‘Frogeye’ - a moniker that has stuck to this day. The little two-seater, designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company and built by BMC at the MG factory in Abingdon, was launched in Monte Carlo immediately prior to the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix. The unique, one-piece bonnet covered a mildly tuned, 43bhp 948cc version of the BMC A series engine already found in the Austin A35 and Morris Minor. The suspension was by coil springs and wishbones at the front and quarter elliptic springs at the rear, with lever arm dampers all round. The construction was ‘integrated’ rather than a full monocoque and featured forward projecting chassis legs of the type used in the E-Type Jaguar. The minimal specification excluded exterior door handles and boot lid. Some 49,000 Frogeyes were built between 1958 and 1961. In summary:A tidy-looking example imported from the USA in 1991Has remained within the same ownership since 2014Comes complete with MOT valid into April next year

1275S previously restored and powered by a Downton 970S unit. According to the accompanying Heritage Certificate, this Austin Mini Cooper S (1,275cc) is a right-hand drive, home-market, single tank car finished in Police White with Tartan Red and Gold Brocade trimBuilt on 24/11/1966, it was dispatched on 01/10/1966 to Voss Motors Limited of Liverpool, and first registered on 16/10/1966Police White was a particular shade designed to be more reflective at night, so we assume this little Cooper was destined for the Merseyside PoliceMore recently, we understand that the car was previously re-shelled as the original bodywork had rotted away and was replaced with a slightly earlier shellThe engine was also replaced with a desirable Downton-tuned 970S unit. The only other obvious variation from the original spec is a Moto-Lita woodrim and reclining front seats but they are correctly trimmed in Tartan Red and Gold BrocadeVery recent attention (August 2023) includes new clutch master and slave cylinders, new solenoid and carburettors cleaned The history file contains 18 pages of invoices dating from 1996 showing work carried out over the years, including re-assembling the vehicle after the re-shell, as well as separate parts invoices dating from 1998. Also in the history file are the accompanying Heritage Certificate, old green logbook, previous MOT Certificates and an earlier photograph of the carOn offer from long-term current ownership, the car sits well on its silver Minilites and looks good in classic Cooper black and white. With a little bit of time, effort and further detailing, this little S could be taken to the next level, and we feel that it's very sensibly-guided given the potential on offer Specification Make: AUSTIN Model: MINI COOPER S MK 1 Year: 1966 Chassis Number: CA2S7932599 Registration Number: EFE 147D Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 29809 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details, condition report and images
