1970 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 2+2- Delivered new to a Mr F A Croshas of Staffordshire by P J Evans of Birmingham- 88,500 miles from new- Offered with original owners' manual and service bookJaguar's now immortal E-Type made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show of 1961. Like the XK 120 before it, the newcomer was the fastest production car of its time - its 3.8-litre straight six engine allowing a 0-60mph acceleration time of just over seven seconds and a top speed of 150 mph. The model underwent its first major surgery in 1966 when, feeling there needed to be a version in which customers' children could share the E-Type experience, Jaguar introduced the 2+2 Fixed Head Coupe (known as the XKE in America, where most examples were sold). A rear bench seat was accommodated by increasing the wheelbase by nine inches and adding two inches to the roofline. The airy 2+2 however benefited from the same fully independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and disc brakes as its two-seat sibling. By now, the E-Type range was powered by a 4.2-litre version of the company's ubiquitous DOHC, straight-six engine, which developed 265bhp and 283 lb ft of torque. The first E-type model to be offered with automatic transmission, the 2+2 was in production for a total of five years, during which time some 5,599 Series 1 and 5,326 Series 2 examples were built.According to the accompanying Heritage Certificate, this home market Series 2 model vacated the factory on October 23, 1969 and was delivered to its first owner, a Mr F A Croshas of Tamworth, Staffs, by the dealer P J Evans of Birmingham. It was finished in Cream and trimmed in Black-piped White leather. A matching numbers car, its bodywork is still Cream in colour, but in recent times has been treated to a new Black interior and overhaul of its DOHC 4.2-litre XK engine. Currently registering 88,500 miles from new, the Jaguar comes complete with original owners' manual and service book.

1914 Daimler 20hp TW20 Landaulette- Supplied new to Wm. Henry Thackwray of York and meticulously restored by Veteran and Vintage specialist Richard Peskett- Winner of the 'Best Car' award at the Daimler Centenary Rally in Coventry during June 1996- VCC dated and engine thoroughly overhauled during the current ownership- Featured in the award-winning Merchant Ivory film 'Maurice' (1987)The choice of no fewer than five Royal Families during the Edwardian Era, Daimler enjoyed an enviable reputation for engineering excellence and finely crafted coachwork. Eschewing conventional poppet valves for sleeve ones, the Coventry marque's engines were praised by The Autocar for their 'extraordinary combination of silence, flexibility and power'. Indeed, the Royal Automobile Club awarded Daimler its highly prestigious Dewar Trophy in 1909 after two such powerplants endured a series of gruelling bench, road and track tests without showing appreciable wear. Introduced in 1912, the 20hp was based around a substantial ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension (semi-elliptic front / cantilever back) and rear wheel brakes. Powered by a 3.3 litre four-cylinder sleeve-valve engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the newcomer could be had with a variety of open and closed bodystyles. Arguably, offering the best of both, the 'Bodmin' Landaulette could accommodate four / six in comfort with those in the back able to choose between enclosed or al fresco motoring thanks to its fold-down roof. Only in production until 1915, examples of the Daimler 20hp saw service with both King George V and the Empress of Korea.According to the City of York Council's original registration book, this particular example - chassis 12386 - was issued with the number plate 'DN 568' on February 11th 1914. Listed as a '20hp Daimler Landaulette - Green', its first owner was William Henry Thackwray of Fir Royd, Acomb Road, York. Thought to have remained in the same county for forty odd years because (a) the October 1950 issue of Motor Sport magazine records that W. Collingbourne won the Mr Steele Concours Cup at the Veteran Car Club's Scarborough Rally with his Daimler and (b) J.W. Collingbourne was mentioned in the VCC's report when they issued the 20hp with a dating certificate on 29th July 1953, the car had been acquired by VCC member Arthur Bosworth before the decade's end. Migrating to Devon thereafter, 'DN 568' subsequently belonged to Ted Woolley, Tony Simons, Edgar Richardson and Ronald Harris. A letter on file from Mr Richardson to Mr Harris notes: 'In all the years we had the car I used it to go all over England and Ireland and the Isle of Man also many trips to France and in all that time I never once had a breakdown'. Somewhat careworn after its travels which included appearing in the well-reviewed Merchant Ivory film 'Maurice' (1987), the Daimler was entrusted to experienced veteran restorer Richard Peskett of Hindhead, Surrey.Beginning work in October 1995, Mr Peskett undertook an extensive, body off, chassis up refurbishment of the car. With a brief to adhere as closely as possible to the 20hp's original specification but to make it fully functional once more, he fitted a correct type but replacement engine (to which its predecessor's ID plaque was affixed) and had new gearbox internals fabricated (at a cost of some £6,609.10) as well as thoroughly overhauling the rest of the running gear. The original ash framing and plywood panelling were preserved where possible and replaced where not. The wiring was renewed, the instruments rejuvenated and the CAV headlamps restored. New wings and running boards were made and the interior retrimmed with green leather upfront and grey cloth with grey / white brocade detailing to the rear. Sporting a side-mounted spare wheel, roof-mounted luggage rack, speaking tube, silk blinds and occasional seats, the Bodmin Landaulette was refinished in Deep Royal Green over Black with Red coachlines and monograms to its rear doors in time to receive the 'Best Car' Trophy at the Daimler Centenary Rally during 1996. Successfully completing the VCC President's Tour in 2004 - a 500-mile run through the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District, Scotland and Yorkshire Wolds - 'DN 568' was bought by William Hughes that same year. Purchased by the vendor as a replacement for his Edwardian Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost in March 2009, the Daimler has since won awards at the Audlem (2012), Nantwich (2012) and Daimler Lanchester Owners' Club 50th Anniversary (2014) Shows. The 20hp engine was treated to new white metal bearings, Arrow conrods and a fresh piston in 2010, while the past winter has seen the steering box and driveshafts fettled. Fitted from new with an electric starter, this very elegant and imposing Edwardian Daimler remains highly presentable. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, 'Best Car' Daimler Centenary Trophy and large history file.

1950 Jowett Jupiter- Period 1950s documented race history with supporting photographs at Dundrod, Silverstone and Isle of Man British Empire Trophy- 1951 Monte Carlo rally entrant- In storage from 1969 until 2015- Full comprehensive, correctly detailed and photographic restoration to the very highest standard over a 2-year periodEncouraged by the Javelin's success in motorsport, Jowett's prime motivation for the Jupiter was to gain an increase in its steel allocation by exporting a Sports Car version to the USA. The chassis was penned by former Auto Union engineer Eberan von Eberhorst, and the initial intention was for Jowett to supply production examples of it for independent coachbuilders to add their own design of body, and 75 frames were duly supplied to names such as Stablilimenti Farina, Ghia Suisse, Gebruder Beutler, Richard Mead and Abbotts of Farnham for this purpose. However the costs involved proved hard to justify for a car of such relatively modest power, and the factory was ultimately obliged to pen and create its own bodies. Crafted in aluminium, they featured two doors leading to a single bench seat. Luggage space was gained from inside, while the whole of the front hinged upwards from the scuttle to give optimum access to the engine and transmission. Power was provided by a high compression version of the Javelin's 1486cc flat-four OHV engine mounted well forward in the chassis.What it lacked it outright power, the Jupiter made up for in handling and roadholding, which resulted in an impressive level of international motorsport success, including class wins at Le Mans in 1950, 1951 and 1952; 1950 Monte Carlo Rally; 1951 Dundrod TT; and outright victory in the 1951 Lisbon Rally. Many private owners employed the model for racing, rallying, sprinting and hillclimbing. Production ran from 1950 to 1954, during which around 900 examples were manufactured. A promising-looking composite-bodied successor, the R4, never progressed beyond the prototype stage and the company closed its doors in 1955.The totally immaculate 1950 Jupiter now offered was shipped by the factory to Strobcross Engineering Works of Glasgow on December 19, 1950. Its first keeper was K B Miller who contested the 1951 Monte Carlo Rally with the car, but failed to progress beyond Preston following a second blown head gasket. He also tackled the Rest and be Thankful hillclimb with 'JGA 123', but in August 1951, having reputedly 'gone through so many head gaskets he wanted to drive the Jowett into the Clyde', he sold the car to Bill Skelly, the son of a Motherwell garage man. Skelly entered it for the Dundrod TT the following month, a move that required him to give the Jupiter a temporary coat of dull green distemper, as all cars were required run in their national colours. Despite failing oil pressure, he finished 8th in class and 24th overall and then had the task of replacing the big-end bearings in order to drive home. Skelly and 'JGA 123' also entered the following:- October 1951, Winfield - 13th in 5 lap Saloon event- April 1952, RAC Rally - did not start- May 1952, Silverstone - 7th in Sports Car race- May 1952, Isle of Man - British Empire Trophy, retired a few laps from the finish with valve troubleIn 1953 the Jupiter passed into the hands of John Tyrer (brother of well-known racer Gillie Tyrer), a Liverpool motorcycle dealer, but by the early '60s the car, now White, was the property of another Liverpool resident, Paul Pinkman, who used it until c.1969 before laying it up following a gearbox malady. The Jowett remained in storage until his death in 2014, 10 months following which it was acquired by the vendor, who promptly entrusted it to M.B. Restorations of Queensbury for a two year nut and bolt restoration of the very highest standard.Now resplendent in its original livery of Red bodywork and Brown upholstery, 'JGA 123' it is understandably considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission, and he is now offering this historic Jupiter complete with an extensive history file that includes period competition images as well as a photographic record of the restoration. A unique and exciting opportunity for Jowett aficionados everywhere.
