1926 ALVIS 12/50 TE WIDE 2/3 SEATER BEAUTIFULLY ORIGINAL & HIGHLY DESIRABLE Estimate £15000 - 18000 Registration Number TW 3090 Chassis Number 4363 Engine Number 4717 Engine Capacity 1645 Paint Colour GREEN/BLACK Trim Colour MAROON MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. Introduced in August 1923, the 12/50 was responsible for placing Alvis firmly on the motor manufacturers' map. Relentlessly honed by chief engineer Capt. G.T. Smith Clarke, it went on to become one of the quintessential Vintage sports cars offering quite exceptional roadholding and performance for its class. Briefly discontinued in 1929 when Alvis placed all its eggs in the front-wheel drive basket (FWD FA - 8/15 models), it was hurriedly reintroduced during September 1930 and is widely credited with saving the marque. Built around a super-strong 9ft 4.5in wheelbase platform chassis frame, the 12/50 TE featured all round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, cable-operated drum brakes and high-geared steering box. Powered by a torquey, free-revving 1645cc OHV four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed (right-hand change) crash gearbox most variants were capable of some 75 - 80 mph. Rugged, versatile and brimful of character, the 12/50 enjoys a special place in many enthusiasts’ hearts. Finished in green over black with maroon leather upholstery, this particular example wears 2/3-seater touring coachwork by Cross & Ellis (its wide, three-place front bench being augmented by two extra pews in the dickey). Exhibiting a pleasing patina, 'TW 3090' is thought to have been maintained and repaired as necessary rather than ever having undergone extensive restoration. Entering the current Alvis aficionado ownership in 1994, the 12/50 has since been treated to two 'top-end' engine rebuilds (though, we are informed that the unit's 'bottom-end' would likely benefit from some attention in the next year or so), a replacement 3rd/4th gear selector fork (a known weak point) and the 2002 refurbishment of all four wings. Of Alvis manufacture and therefore not subject to the same fatigue cracks suffered by the Marles equivalent fitted to later cars, its steering box has also been recently overhauled. In the past few years, this sturdy and reliable car has competed in many VSCC rallies, driving tests and Inter-Register events. The most outstanding achievement has been to enter, and finish, Le Jog (the Lands End to John O'Groats Reliability Trial) no less than four times including three outings as part of the Marque winning Team - the Alvis Hares in 1995, 1996 and 1997.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle now comes with MOT until February 2008.

1963 ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER CLOUD III LWB EXCEPTIONAL CAR WITH ELECTRIC DIVISION Estimate £22000 - 26000 Registration Number DRS720A Chassis Number CAL43 Engine Number 5150 Engine Capacity 6230 Paint Colour BURGUNDY Trim Colour BEIGE MOT Expiry Date APRIL 2007 Final evolution of the Rolls-Royce Cloud Series, the Cloud III was launched in late 1962. Sporting the same imposing silhouette as its predecessors, the newcomer was distinguished by quad headlamps, a lower bonnet line and correspondingly sleeker front wings (complete with indicator units frenched into their leading edges). In keeping with its sharpened appearance, the imposing front and rear chrome bumpers wore more modest over-riders. To the interior, the driver and front seat passenger gained separate chairs, while those in the rear benefited from a more upright back to their bench seat and narrower side bolsters. Mechanically, the model's massive cruciform-braced box-section chassis featured independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a hypoid bevel rear axle, all round drum brakes, power assisted steering and four speed automatic transmission. Though, to capitalise on the smaller frontal area, its 6230cc V8 engine gained more power via a carburettor modification and higher compression ratio. Thus, the Cloud III claimed both a higher top speed and better acceleration than its predecessors at 116mph and 0-60mph in 10.8 seconds respectively. Available in either standard or long wheelbase guises, the latter variant accounted for some 254 special orders. Of these a mere forty-seven were entrusted to outside coachbuilders, the rest being despatched to Park Ward's West London works where their Standard Steel Saloon bodies were deftly modified to incorporate elongated rear doors and enlarged rear three-quarter windows. Finished in metallic pink champagne over burgundy with beige leather upholstery, this particular long wheelbase example is variously described by the vendor as being in "good" (6230cc engine, four-speed automatic transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim) or "A1" (chassis, bodywork, paintwork, wheels / tyres) condition. Thought to retain its original upholstery, 'DRS 720A' further benefits from an electric division, electric windows and rear picnic tables. A rare and striking motor car, it is offered for sale with MOT certificate and historic class (free) road tax until April 2007.
