1912 De Dion Bouton DH Two-SeaterRegistration no. BF 9125Chassis no. 34Odometer reading: N/AMOT: Exempt *1912 De Dion Bouton DH*Presents well*Good history To view a video of this lot please click hereFootnotes:Founded by Jules-Albert de Dion and Georges Bouton in 1883, De Dion Bouton was a French automobile manufacturer that was once the largest in the world. The company initially offered motorised tricycles, however in 1900 the company expanded to four wheeled vehicles that were built with a focus on quality and reliability. The DH in particular was one of the company's most successful models and was sold right through to the 1920s. This example is a 1912 model that is presented in good older restored condition, featuring a vinyl trimmed bench seat and well accessorised lighting and brass horn. Powered by a 1,642cc four-cylinder engine, with a 3 speed gearbox the De Dion has a good turn of speed. Overall the car presents well, however it could be improved if desired. Running and driving well the car has seen little use in recent years. A charming two-seater ideal for VCC and VSCC Light Car and Edwardian events.Vendor Score Total: 53/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1910 Cadillac Model 30 Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:7052This wonderfully presented 1910 Cadillac Model 30 is fitted with a four-cylinder, 30hp engine and presents in very good order throughout. The paintwork is very good showing a light patina and the superb brown leather upholstery is heavily patinated. Combined with the stylish coachwork this example really is the epitome of excellence and makes for a very comfortable driving experience.During its life this Cadillac has been treated to various restoration work and has been fitted with an open two seat body, believed to have been fitted circa 100 years ago and widely recognised to be the more desirable of body styles. It comfortably seats two adult passengers, with the possibility of three, and since it is so light the car exhibits very strong performance. Many bills and invoices are present in the history file including bills for a recent overhaul of the gears, various engine work and a new crown wheel and pinion, the majority of work completed circa 50 miles ago, the Veteran Car Club framed certificate of date and two old stye buff logbooks are also present. The vendor reports that this Model 30 runs and drives very well indeed and is a pleasure to drive. It is started and exercised regularly and is ready for imminent use. Very few veteran cars are as handsome as this and if you are looking for a brass era automobile and have extraordinarily fine taste, this opportunity should not be overlooked!Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction. Buyers are advised to inspect the vehicle in person or use a professional to carry out this service. Historics will not entertain disputes over descriptions.

1970 Citroën DS 21 Transmission: automaticMileage:80264After 18 years of secret development, the DS was introduced in October of 1955 at the Paris Motor Show. In the first 15 minutes of the show, 743 orders were taken and orders for the first day totalled 12,000 cars. It was the first mass-production car with front power disc brakes. It also featured hydropneumatic suspension including an automatic self-levelling system, variable ground clearance, power-steering, a semi-automatic transmission and a fibreglass roof which reduced weight. It also sported inboard front brakes as well as independent suspension. The DS 21 was introduced for the 1965 model year. This was a 2175cc, power was 109bhp and a substantial increase in power with the introduction of Bosch electronic fuel injection for 1970, making the DS one of the first mass-market cars to use electronic fuel injection. The DS was successful in motorsports like rallying, where sustained speeds on poor surfaces are paramount. It won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1959 and, controversially in 1966. The Citroën DS placed fifth on Automobile Magazine's '100 Coolest Cars' listing in 2005. It was also named the most beautiful car of all time by Classic & Sports Car magazine after a poll of 20 world-renowned car designers.This beautiful DS21 was built in France and originally shipped to Australia where it remained for some 48 years. 16 years ago, this example was fully restored and repainted in a distinctive green which was traditionally seen on early 1955 and 1956 cars. Soon after the restoration, sadly the owner passed away and left his entire collection of 15 classic cars to the Gosford Classic Car Museum near Sydney. The museum, which is now closed, with a policy of rotating its stock eventually sold the car in 2018 and it was imported to the UK and recommissioned by our vendor. We are informed by the vendor the full body and chassis restoration is still fresh today and he cannot find any rust, the mechanicals for the car are original thus also boasts matching numbers and it drives very well. Good quality right hand drive Citroen DS’s with rust free bodies are few and far between so this is a good opportunity to acquire a unique and beautiful example of the ‘Goddess’.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1990 De Tomaso Pantera GT5-S CoupéCoachwork by Carrozzeria Ghia/VignaleRegistration no. LTS 88Chassis no. 874/L/THPN1S09554•One of only 18 right-hand drive examples•One owner from new•Approximately 4,600 miles from new•Outstandingly original and un-restoredFootnotes:Having established himself as a serious automobile manufacturer with the Mangusta coupé, Alejandro De Tomaso commissioned Lamborghini designer Gianpaolo Dallara to produce the chassis for his new mid-engined supercar: the Pantera. Dallara opted for unitary construction for the steel chassis/body - abandoning the Mangusta's backbone frame - and competition-specification double wishbone/coil-spring suspension all round. The Ford Motor Company was De Tomaso's partner at the time of the Pantera's introduction in 1971 and thus the Pantera, like the Mangusta, relied on Ford V8 power. Mated to an all-synchro ZF five-speed transaxle, the 351ci (5.8-litre) Cleveland engine varied in output depending on the destination market, and in European trim came with 330bhp on tap, enabling the Pantera to complete the 0-60mph (0-96km/h) sprint in a little over 5 seconds and touch 160mph (257km/h) flat out. Styled by Tom Tjaarda at Carrozzeria Ghia, the stunning coupé body was in fact built by Vignale, both companies being part of De Tomaso's empire in the early 1970s. Exceptionally long-lived for a supercar, the Pantera was still around in the 1990s having undergone a series of upgrades. The first major revision of the Pantera's body style occurred in 1980 with the introduction of the GT5 which, with its deep front air dam and delta-wing rear spoiler, represented one of the earliest examples of these aerodynamic devices being applied to passenger car design. Introduced for 1985, the GT5-S incorporated further revisions to the bodywork while its interior was significantly upgraded, rivalling that of many a luxury limousine. With the supply of Cleveland engines running out, De Tomaso switched to the Ford Windsor V8, at first in 351ci (5.7 litres) form and then 302ci (5.0 litres). Production of the world longest-running supercar finally ceased in 1993. One of only 18 right-hand drive examples, this exceptional Pantera GT5-S has had only one owner from new and seen only occasional use since it left the factory over 30 years ago. Indeed, the car had covered a mere 7,367 kilometres (approximately 4,600 miles) when the current MoT certificate was issued on 1st December 2020. The private registration LTS 88 is offered with the car, and the vendor emphasises that this is a very desirable registration as 88 refers to good luck and wealth in many countries. There is little service history to speak of, but it appears that some maintenance has been carried out by a local garage. It should be noted there is a little damage pictured around the left-hand indicator which will be rectified before the sale. A wonderful opportunity to own one of these characterful Italian/American supercars, benefiting from only one owner and relatively little use, and with the added advantage of right-hand drive.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 234

The ex-Corrado CupelliniFerrari Dino 246/60 Formula 1 racing single-seaterChassis no. '0011'*Tremendous front-engined Historic F1 potential *Highly original 4-cam V6 engine and transmission*All-round independent suspension/disc brakes*Untapped potential of spare Dino 246/59-spec chassisFootnotes:Here Bonhams is delighted to offer what is potentially an extremely competitive front-engined Grand Prix car ideal, with proper race-preparation and in the hands of a capable racing driver, to compete for top honours in Historic Grand Prix Car races for the period 1954-1960. This extremely handsome Ferrari Dino 246/60 has all the right basic attributes to prove itself a front-runner against such contemporary front-engined 2½ -litre Formula 1 racing designs as the BRM Type 25, the Scarab in 2 1/2-litre engined form, and the Aston Martin DBR4/250 and Maserati 250F. The car is offered here in long-stored but nicely presented and runnable condition. After its period of inactivity - not least spent on display in first the Colline de l'Automobile exhibition at Puteaux, France, and later the Enzo Ferrari family museum in Modena - we of course recommend expert inspection and preparation before any attempt is made to start and run it. Most significantly this Lot includes not only the fully-assembled Historic racing Grand Prix car as photographed here but also a spare multi-tubular chassis frame potentially dating from period and plainly built to period Ferrari Dino 246 design. It was the acquisition of this frame together with a considerable selection of genuine Ferrari Dino 246-series mechanical components which prompted construction of this mouth-wateringly attractive Historic racing machine, the project commencing around 1978. As raced extensively by its owner - the Bergamo-based Italian classic car dealer and broker Corrado Cupellini - from the early 1980s, this car has featured in such major Historic racing events as at Monaco, the Nürburgring, Monza and Imola. The car as offered is powered by a believed genuine, from-period, 2.4-litre 4-cam V6 Ferrari Dino engine as deployed by the legendary Maranello factory team from 1958-60, and subsequently in a rear-engined Dino 246SP sports-prototype application 1961-62. . This eminently usable and potentially race-winning Grand Prix car also adds the sophistication of highly adjustable all-independent coil-spring suspension, rear-mounted 5-speed transaxle transmission (also believed to be genuine and from period) plus - perhaps most significantly for racing - disc brakes. In period the Ferrari Dino 246/60 cars, with their midship pannier fuel tanks concentrating the bulk of the fuel load well within the wheelbase to minimise handling change as the fuel was consumed and overall weight diminished, were the finest front-engined contenders of their1960 Formula 1 World Championship race season. Works driver Phil Hill - who would win the FIA Formula 1 Drivers' World Championship title for Ferrari the following year in the legendary rear-engined 'Sharknose' successors to this 246/60 design - started from the front grid grid row for the 1960 Belgian Grand Prix and finished fourth - headed only by three rear-engined Cooper-Climax cars, after being delayed by a cockpit fire caused by fuel spraying from a cracked fuel-pressure gauge feed... In September 1960 Phil Hill then won the high-speed Italian Grand Prix at Monza, his works-entered Ferrari Dino 246/60 - like the car now offered here - leading home his similarly-mounted team-mates Richie Ginther and Willy Mairesse in works Ferrari 1-2-3 formation. As offered here this particular car - as originally prepared for Corrado Cupellini in the late 1970s - is accompanied by FIA Historic Technical Passport documentation, as included in the accompanying file. It was issued by the Austrian Automobile, Motor-Cycle & Touring Club and is dated June 29, 2007. It records the 4-cam V6 cylinder as having original standard 85.00mm cylinder bore and original standard 71mm stroke, displacing the declared original swept cylinder volume for the six cylinders of 2417cc. The unit has two valves per cylinder, magneto ignition and three twin-choke Weber 42DCN downdraught carburettors. Lubrication is by dry sump and the transverse-shaft transaxle gearbox mounted behind the driver's seat has five speeds and is accepted within this document as having been originally of 1959 manufacture. This is perfectly plausible and of course in period Ferrari operated an extensive programme of re-using wherever possible still-competitive and useable components from one year's Formula 1 and 2 racing model to the next,. This car as offered features Dunlop disc brakes, 300mm diameter x 12mm thick. Both front and rear brake discs are drilled for internal cooling. Road wheels fitted are wire-spoked, and FIA-accepted in both 15-inch and 16-inch diameter, 5.00-6.00-inches wide fronts and both 15-inch and 16-inch diameter, 6.50-7.50-inches wide rears. The car's exceptionally shapely Rosso Corsa-liveried aluminium body panelling bearing those legendary black-on-yellow Cavallino Rampante (Prancing Horse) shields is described as being 'the original one for the chassis' and at the time of the document's origination it was signed off to 'Cupellini Corado (sic) of Salzburg, Austria. in this document Victor Dietmayer of the OSK Historic Motorsport Service describes the car's origination date as having been 1957. To be clear, Ferrari applied the chassis serial '0011' - now borne by this Dino 246/60 - to their very first prototype Formula 2 Dino 156 monoposto built for the 1957 season. This was the car which introduced the marque's now famous 'Dino' lettered V6 engine series which eventually spun off from racing into production road-going sports car design. The FIA governing body had announced that a new unsupercharged 1.5-litre Formula 2 class would take effect in 1957 to provide an adequate single-seater racing stepping-stone towards contemporary 2 1/2-litre Formula 1. Mr Ferrari had briefed not only his senior engineering team but also his suitably-qualified son Alfredo ('Alfredino' - 'Dino') to produce a suitable engine design. The poor boy had developed muscular dystrophy and was fading fast. Mr Ferrari recorded how he and his legendary veteran ex-Alfa Romeo, ex-Lancia design consultant, Vittorio Jano, spent long hours at Dino's bedside during the long, cold winter of 1955-56, debating the pros and cons of using a 4-cylinder, straight-6, V6 or V8 engine for the forthcoming category. They settled upon the V6, and following Dino Ferrari's death on June 30, 1956, Mr Ferrari decreed that his signature should be cast into the new power unit's cam covers - founding the Ferrari Dino model line as the boy's dynamic, living memorial. The Jano-perfected Dino V6 engine made its debut in a single-seat racing chassis designed as a scaled-down version of the Formula 1 Lancia-Ferrari 801 V8-engined Grand Prix cars which Ferrari deployed during 1957. The F2 prototype was given the chassis serial '0011' and made its debut in the non-Championship Formula 1 Naples GP on April 28, 1957, where it was driven by works star Luigi Musso, finishing third overall. The same car then won the important Coupe de Vitesse F2 race at Reims, France, driven by Maurice Trintignant, its 1500cc V6 engine's power overwhelming the British Coventry Climax 4-cylinder engined opposition from Cooper and Lotus. As detailed in the book 'Dino: The Little Ferrari', by Doug Nye (Osprey, London, 1979) '0011' and its sister car '0012' were then fitted with Dino engines enlarged to 1893cc for the September Modena GP, while Mike Hawthorn drove '011' with a further enlarged 2195cc V6 engine in the Moroccan GP at Casablanca. While Formula 1 cars that year still burned alcohol-based fuel, F2 was a pure pump-grade petrol-burning category, and the FIA had announced that F1 wou...

2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG RoadsterRegistration no. to be advisedChassis no. WMX1974772A0071414•Rare right-hand drive example•Automatic transmission•Three previous keepers•Circa 15,000 miles from newFootnotes:'For anyone wishing to give their Mercedes that extra personal touch, Mercedes-AMG GmbH has just the answers. The Daimler-Chrysler subsidiary offers the combined experience of Mercedes-Benz and AMG in the field of high-quality enhancements for Mercedes-Benz passenger cars and puts the emphasis firmly on individuality when creating the customer's dream Mercedes.' - Mercedes-AMG GmbH.AMG, which is now the official performance division of Mercedes-Benz, has a long history of producing high-performance derivatives of Mercedes' standard production vehicles, and these improved versions enjoy an enthusiastic following world-wide, with prominent figures of the motorsports, entertainment, sport, and business communities being counted among aficionados. With the introduction of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG in 2010, the Affalterbach-based firm took a significant step forward. First seen at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show and acknowledged as a tribute to the legendary 300 SL 'Gullwing' coupé of the 1950s – arguably the world's first supercar – the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG was notable as the first car to be designed in-house by AMG. A collectors' item from the day it was announced, the newcomer featured 'Gullwing' doors like its illustrious predecessor and succeeded the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren at the top of the German manufacturer's range. Styled by Mercedes-Benz's Mark Fetherston, the SLS AMG received numerous prestigious design awards, and is the only automobile ever to have won the (gold) Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany. An open roadster version was introduced for 2011.Boasting a chassis/body of mainly aluminium construction, the SLS (Sport Licht Super) was powered by a 6.2-litre V12 engine producing 563bhp initially - the most powerful normally aspirated production car engine of its day - while the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission was similarly state-of-the-art. Several limited edition versions were introduced, including a GT3 racer, leading up to the SLS AMG GT Final Edition of 2014. Mercedes-AMG CEO Tobias Moers has said that there are no plans for a successor, so for the time being the SLS AMG remains the ultimate expression of the noble 'Gullwing' tradition.Offered here is an example of the open Roadster version, which was first unveiled at the Frankfurt International Motor Show in 2011. Just like its 300 SL Roadster predecessor, the soft-top SLS AMG features conventional doors and incorporates strengthening to compensate for the absence of a fixed roof, which adds 40kg (88lb) to the total weight. Despite this apparent handicap, Autocar magazine found that the SLS Roadster possessed better body control and greater levels of feedback than the coupé! Also of note is the Roadster's multi-layered fabric soft-top that opens and closes in 11 seconds, and can be operated on the move at up to 50km/h (31mph). Currently registered to its fourth keeper (from October 2015) this rare right-hand drive Imola Grey metallic SLS AMG Roadster has covered only some 15,000 miles from new and is described by the vendor as in excellent condition throughout. MoT'd to 7th March 2022, this collectible modern Mercedes is offered with service bills, the most recent from June 2021 and a V5C registration document.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1916 Alldays Allon 548cc Motorcycle CombinationRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. unable to locateEngine no. unable to locate•Rare Birmingham-built motorcycle combination•Twin-cylinder two-stroke engine•An older restoration'A new twin two-stroke of extremely interesting design is being constructed by Messrs Alldays & Onions, the makers of the well-known Allon two-stroke.' – Motor Cycling, 5th October 1915.A firm that could trace its origins as far back as the 17th Century, the Birmingham-based Alldays & Onions Pneumatic Engineering Company built its first automobile in 1898 and its first motorcycle in 1903. Car production ended around 1918 but that of motorcycles continued at the firm's Matchless works in Birmingham until the late 1920s. Early and late types were marketed as Alldays, but from 1915 to 1924 the firm's products were also known as Allons. The bulk of production consisted of the 293cc (2¾hp) Allon two-stroke. Introduced shortly before the outbreak of WWI, the Allon was one of the first British machines to feature a sloping top tube, while post-WWI versions were among the earliest to adopt saddle tanks. Prior to the Allon's introduction, the firm also offered the 'Matchless', a lightweight powered by a 269cc Villiers two-stroke engine; single-gear, direct-drive and two-speed versions were available.This magnificent Alldays Allon motorcycle combination is powered by the company's own 548cc air-cooled twin-cylinder two-stroke engine, which drives via a Sturmey Archer countershaft gearbox with chain primary and belt final drive. 'The new power unit is set across the frame and, although at first sight it might appear that this would add uncomfortably to the width of the machine, in practice it is found that the engine is very little wider than most of those designed for sidecar work,' observed Motor Cycling. Typical of the time, the brakes consist of a dummy belt-rim type at the front and an externally contracting band at the rear. Other noteworthy features of this particular machine include Binks carburettors; P&H acetylene lighting; Cowie speedometer; Lucas 'King of the Road' horn; and a single-seater sidecar of Alldays' own make. An older restoration, the machine is offered with some photocopied in-period literature. There is no registration document with this Lot. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1925 SEAL 980cc Family Motorcycle CombinationRegistration no. MB 9768 (see text)Frame no. 780Engine no. KTC/E 2859 (see text)•Unusual motorcycle/car hybrid•JAP v-twin engine•One of only two known survivors'The first of its kind and still miles ahead. The comforts of a car at the cost of a motorcycle combination.' – Seal Motors Limited.The SEAL (the initials stand for 'Sociable Economical And Light') was produced by Seal Motors Ltd in Hulme, Manchester. Seal's clever idea was to place the combination's controls, including the car-type steering wheel, in the sidecar, the unoccupied motorcycle being used solely to provide motor power and two of the three wheels. The chassis was an integral design rather than the separate bolted-together arrangement of the traditional motorcycle and sidecar combination, and thus a good deal more efficient, while a detachable sheet-steel fairing kept the engine and gearbox free of dirt. Early models had tiller steering and were powered by a 770cc JAP v-twin engine with belt final drive and a Sturmey Archer hub gear, while later models, such as that offered here, featured a 980cc JAP, a three-speed countershaft gearbox and chain final drive. Two-, three- and four-seater versions were made. Capable of accommodating two adults and a couple of small children, the cosy SEAL Family model was certainly sociable and at around 5cwt was light for a four-seater vehicle. Contemporary advertising claimed that the SEAL was the cheapest family model on the road, offering fuel consumption of 50-60 miles per gallon and road tax of £4 per year. 'Who would ride on a saddle exposed to all weather and road mud? No one, only those who do not know the Seal,' declared its proud maker. Unfortunately, the SEAL was not a cheap buy when compared to the opposition, which included 'proper' light cars like the immensely popular Austin Seven Chummy. How many were made is not known.The SEAL offered here is one of only two known to survive and is pictured in The Beaulieu Encyclopedia of the Automobile (Volume 3, page 1429). The machine is offered with an old-style continuation logbook (issued 1946); assorted correspondence; and some photocopied in-period literature. The logbook shows that the vehicle was previously fitted with a different JAP engine (the current engine dates from 1922). It should be noted that the registration 'MB 9768' has lapsed and is not recorded in the HPI database; accordingly, prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this vehicle's registration status prior to bidding. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection c.1904/1905 National 4hp TricarRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 7441Engine no. 723•Built by one of Britain's most obscure motor manufacturers•MMC engine; two-speed transmission•An older restoration•Ultra-rare survivorIn existence for barely two years - 1904 to circa 1905 – the National Motor Company of Manchester has to be one of Britain's most obscure motor manufacturers; indeed, its entry in The Beaulieu Encyclopedia of the Automobile runs to only 70 words! According to the Encyclopedia, National's sole product, a wheel-steered tricar, was designed by two members of the Manchester Motor Club. It was powered by a 4hp single-cylinder water-cooled engine supplied by MMC, which drove via a two-speed transmission with direct-drive top gear. Seating was tandem in arrangement, with the driver at the rear and positioned higher than his passenger. The front seat could be removed, and a tradesman's van body fitted in its place, and the machine could also be used as a solo. How many of these National tricars were built and how many survive is not known, though it must be very few in either case. A truly wonderful example of Edwardian-era automotive engineering, this magnificent machine is a nicely patinated older restoration, boasting beautiful brass and copper details wherever one looks. Noteworthy features include a 'serpent' bulb horn; Zenith carburettor; 'Rotherham Coventry' fuel tank cap; and Imperial Carriage lighting. There are no documents with this Lot. We would advise the new owner to submit a full dating application to the SMCC and VCC Dating Committees so that the vehicle can be fully researched.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from the National Motorcycle Museum Collection 1905 Rex 8hp TricarRegistration no. EL 3480Frame no. 10221Engine no. A52•Early tricar from one of Britain's premier makes•Acquired by the NMM in 2001•An older restoration'In 1903 a motorcycle-based tricar was made, becoming more car-like in 1904 when it was called the Rexette. This had a seat for the driver instead of a saddle, a water-cooled single-cylinder engine and a 2-speed gearbox. In 1905 it became even more car-like, with a steering wheel and brakes on all three wheels.' – The Beaulieu Encyclopedia of the Automobile, Volume 3.An innovative marque from the time of its inception in 1899 as a motor manufacturer, Rex demonstrated its first motorcycle in 1900 while continuing to make automobiles and tricars. The Coventry-based firm was soon active in all types of motorcycle competition, including the inaugural 1907 Isle of Man TT where Billy Heaton's sprung-fork Rex finished 2nd in the twin-cylinder class. Prior to that Rex had exploited the valuable publicity that accrued from the popular long-distance events of the day, in particular the famous Lands End to John O'Groats journey between the most southerly and northerly parts of mainland Britain. Brothers Billy and Harold Williamson were in charge of Rex at this time, as managing and sales directors respectively, and it was the latter who in 1904 established a new record for this 880-mile marathon, which in those days involved travel over rough, un-surfaced and often treacherous roads. Riding a 3¼hp (approximately 380cc) Rex, Williamson took 48 hours 36 minutes, which included lengthy stops to repair punctures, beating the existing mark by 2½ hours. Rex continued manufacturing its own power units until the early 1920s, after which proprietary engines became the norm. By this time neighbours Coventry Acme had been taken over and in the next few years the ranges were rationalised, the 'Rex-Acme' name being adopted in 1921. In 1923 the firm signed rising star Walter Handley, a move that would set Rex-Acme on the road to racing success in Grands Prix and at the Isle of Man TT. With some justification the firm incorporated the 'Three Legs of Man' into its tank badge. Handley's 1927 Senior win was to prove Rex-Acme's swansong TT victory, for despite all its racetrack successes the firm became a casualty of the Depression, and although there was a brief revival was gone for good by 1933. Dating from the firm's Edwardian heyday, this 1905 Rexette Tricar is powered by a water-cooled v-twin engine and features Lucas 'King of the Road' lighting. An older restoration, the vehicle was acquired by the NMM in January 2001 and is offered with an old-style V5C document. The machine's mechanical condition is not known; accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to its condition, completeness, correctness, or otherwise prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Steam-powered Motorcycle with engine by Pearson & CoxRegistration no. not registeredEngine no. 1893This fascinating steam-powered 'special' was featured in the Croydon Advertiser newspaper when it was purchased by Vic Lane, owner of Normand Mobike of Bromley, circa 1979 (press cutting on file). The associated article states that the machine had been discovered by a scrap merchant buying from a factory in the Derby area; Vic Lane bought it from him for £1,000. Photographs on file show the machine raising steam and being ridden at Normand Motobike's premises. The article states, erroneously, that the engine dates from 1902, whereas most sources date Pearson & Cox's steam motorcycles as of circa 1912-1914 manufacture. Formerly apprentices at the General Engine & Boiler Company, Henry Pearson and Percy Cox set up shop in Shortlands, near Bromley, Kent and in 1908 introduced their first steam-powered automobile the following year. According to the Beaulieu Encyclopaedia of the Automobile 'production was only on a made-to-order basis and probably no more than 20 cars were made'. How many motorcycles were completed is anybody's guess, but it cannot have been very many. The company ceased trading circa 1917. This steam-powered 'special' is believed to have been built by a group of Derby apprentices; when is not known, but judging from the front end it must have been after WW2. Sold strictly as viewed.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
