PLEASE NOTE: The vendor advises further details on the specification include:The crank is a standard size Australian item which has not been regroundThe rods are CarilloA standard cam is fittedCooper bearings on the rods with new shell bearings on the crankA Volumex supercharger is fittedNew wheel bearings and a fuel pressure warning light are also fittedThe car competed in club events with the HSRCA in Australia but the vendor has been unable to find out any further information on thisThe vendor has used it in non-VSCC club events with the MG Owners Club, Bugatti Owners Club and Midland Automobile Club - Built and raced in Australia before coming to the UK c.20 years ago - Restored by the vendor but retaining a lovely patina - Pre-selector gearbox, ready to enjoy Surely the most familiar and best-loved sports cars of their era, the P-type MGs naturally attracted the attention of the clever engineer and enthusiast in search of higher performance. Introduced in March 1934, the MG PA Midget was a more sophisticated and durable design than the J-type Midget it replaced. Longer and more rigid, its cruciform-braced chassis was equipped with all round semi-elliptic leaf springs (fixed at their leading edge but held in sliding trunnions at the rear). In standard two-seater form, its classic shape was described by colourful US motoring writer Ken W Purdy as a "grand piano supported by four harps"! This supercharged PA special was built in Australia and used in competition before being imported to the UK approximately twenty years ago. The vendor, an experienced engineer and racer, has owned the car since 2005 during which time it was treated to a chassis up restoration approximately ten years ago. The bodywork and maroon paintwork are currently described as "good" whilst the 948cc engine (complete with Carrillo rods, race pistons and friction-reducing Kawasaki rings) is "spot on", as is the pre-selector gearbox. The electrics have been rewired. The beige interior presents well with the imposing Jaeger rev counter in clear view of the driver behind the removable steering wheel. Under the bonnet the engine bay looks well cared for whilst the Blockley tyres, bonnet strap and rare mechanic's grab handle complete its sporting appearance. Braking is taken care of by Jaguar SS drums to the front with standard drums to the rear. A potent and highly attractive pre-War MG that has been timed at c.95mph at Goodwood, 497 UXH is only being offered for sale to help fund a new vintage project.
- One of just 81 short chassis Internationals- Matching engine and chassis numbers- Eligible for numerous eventsFrom its inception in 1913, Aston Martin's early offerings quickly led to a reputation for performance and sporting ability. However, following the departure of Robert Bamford in 1920, Lionel Martin's concentration on motor sport naturally affected the business of manufacturing cars for sale to the public and, in 1925, with its finances in a precarious position, the company experienced the first of many changes of ownership. In 1924, control passed to the Charnwood family. In 1926, Bert Bertelli came on board and the company moved into new premises in Feltham. Bertelli oversaw the development of a team of Works cars to compete in racing events which were based on the 1.5-litre OHC road cars. These had dry-sump lubrication, which was carried over to the short chassis International sports model, which debuted in 1929. With coachwork designed by Bert Bertelli's brother Harry, just 81 examples were constructed before production ended in 1932.Chassis S50 was built in early 1930 and was first registered to Mr R A Godden of London that July. Mr Godden certainly enjoyed using the car as it returned to the Works in 1931 for an engine overhaul having covered some 18,000 miles. The next keeper, a WH Ainsley of Huddersfield, acquired the car in 1932 before selling it four years later to A Major G N Sheffield who spent the war years at the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough. In 1948 he sold the car to a colleague, Peter White, and by 1952 it was in the ownership of Aston aficionado, Eric Farmer, who also owned one of the 1922 GP cars. S50 remained in his possession for the next forty years being dismantled by him with a view to commencing a rebuild which he was sadly unable to continue due to illness. His friend, Denis Jenkinson, was called upon to loosely reassemble the car and it was subsequently sold to a Mr Thomas Lee of Virginia Water. Mr Lee had renowned Aston expert, Bill Elwell-Smith carry out a full restoration which was completed in 1995 and was reputed to have cost some £60,000 before the car came into the possession of David Venables. He used it on the road and in various events (understood to have been the first time it experienced any form of competition), including two outings at the Brighton Speed Trials in 2007 and 2009 where it took 2nd place in the VSCC class. In February 2011, the car featured on the front cover of The Automobile being the subject of a detailed article and road test.Finished in Carver Blue with dark blue leather interior, the car boasts matching numbers and remains in remarkably original and unmolested condition. Weather gear comprises of a double-duck tonneau, hood and hood cover.Accompanied by a good history file containing details of previous owners back to 1930, restoration receipts and correspondence, as well as many pre-war items including a copy factory work sheet, 2007 VSCC Eligibility Document and buff continuation logbook, GH 4093 must surely represent an excellent opportunity for the discerning collector to acquire an extremely desirable example of a truly iconic pre-War Aston Martin.
- Designed and built by the prominent Chicago-based architect Henry K. Holsman- So-called 'Piano' body supported by longitudinal leaf springs connecting the front and rear axles- Twin cylinder engine, two-speed transmission and converted from rope to chain driveThe Holsman Automobile was what was known as a High-Wheeler - ie a vehicle designed to run along the muddy, rutted roads of the great plains of America in the early 20th century. The model was the brainchild of prominent Chicago architect Henry K. Holsman, who designed, manufactured and sold the vehicle between 1901 and 1911. At the time, the state of Illinois was renowned as the centre of motorcar invention, and Holsman himself has been credited with initiating the use of a reverse gear. The Holsman Automobiles became very popular and were exported to places as far away as New Zealand, and throughout their years of production remained true to the company motto, 'High Wheels Travel All Roads Because All Roads Are Made To Be Travelled By High wheels'.Though one of the smaller companies producing High-Wheelers, Holsman was certainly one of the best known and most successful, and produced a total of around 2,500 examples, which were considered the Cadillacs of their day. 1909 was the peak year of High-Wheeler sales, during which no less than 41 companies were involved in their manufacture. However, their popularity waned as fast as it had risen, and by 1912 only four remained active and Holsman had already closed its doors.The example on offer is resplendent in Black, inside and out, the colour of the period. It is believed to date from circa 1907 and features a so-called 'Piano' rather than earlier 'Curved' body, which is supported by longitudinal leaf springs that connect the front and rear axles. Power comes from a twin-cylinder engine that drives through a two-speed transmission that was originally adjoined to the axle via rope, but these days utilises chain drive. The Runabout has clearly been the subject of an extensive older restoration and was purchased in America by the vendor. A very unusual proposition it comes without paperwork.
The Milwaukee Automobile Company of Wisconsin was founded in late 1899 and proceeded to produce a range of steam cars from March 1900 until, well, it ran out of steam in May 1902. While times were good, the concern decided to make a splash at the first Chicago Automobile Show in 1901. So, in addition to two other cars and two commercial vehicles, it displayed a racing car. Such machines were, of course, rare in those early days of the horseless carriage and the Milwaukee they displayed, and which is now being offered for sale, must surely be one of the earliest surviving machines specifically designed and built for competition. It was manufactured for a Dr J.G. Lovell of Chicago and designed by the company's agent in that city, Frank P. Illsley. At some later stage, possibly by the factory before it closed, the Milwaukee was extensively modified, and the boiler housed up front under a bonnet. Evidently the racer was in this form when restored in 1954 by a Mr Ray Salentine of Waukesha, Wisconsin, and the current boiler and water tank are thought to date from that period. It is believed this fascinating item of Americana dwelt in Beloit near Chicago in the 1960s/1970s and was next heard of at the Carl Benz Automuseum in Ladenburg, Germany in 2001. The vendor acquired the Milwaukee in the Spring of 2005 and, following extensive research, it has been painstakingly restored to original 1901 specification. Despite the evident intentions for it to compete in period, little related history has been uncovered, except for the possibility of a half-mile race at Joliet, Illinois in October 1901.Being pre-1905 it is eligible for the London to Brighton run and has indeed participated in the event. Superbly presented in Black and Green, this fascinating veteran comes complete with boiler certificate valid into 2017 and an entry into this year's London to Brighton Veteran Car Run.
