In a special order colour, effectively one owner and just 2,730 miles from new. Unrepeatable.YDW 944T was built at Halewood during September of 1978 and was registered in January 1979 to its one and only owner, a Mr Nigel Rickets who had ordered the car through Larkfields of Chepstow who were a Ford main dealer at that time. It is believed to have been one of six 'special order' examples finished in black and was originally ordered on a 'decal-delete' basis, proof of which is detailed under the bonnet.  It seems strange to have to pay for black when in the past all Ford cars were black with no other options, however, the colour is not listed on Escort colour charts from 1978.During September of 1978, the Ford plant endured an 11-week industrial action walk out and the original buyer cancelled his order leaving this black beauty available when it was finished and Mr Rickets was quick off the mark, immediately securing a deal with Larkfields to become the first owner. The car's original invoice to the value of £3,300 is supplied and it lists as extras the aforementioned Ford black paint at £37.39, bronze-tinted glass at £39.31 and full underseal treatment at £25.00. The car is also supplied with an operating guide within a plastic wallet, the original 175X Michelin tyres looking surprisingly well for their advancing years, the jack and wheel brace and the whole car is described as 95% original. Although MOT exempt, it has been gone through thoroughly , with the exception of the exhaust and is ready for an MOT should any potential buyer wish to do so.  We understand that it starts immediately and sounds sweet, probably not surprising given the tiny mileage.A glance at our images will confirm this little Escort's remarkable condition with an interior that is virtually 'showroom-fresh'. This is a one-off opportunity to purchase such a rare car and, with only 2,730 miles from new, is surely unrepeatable. The Ford was left in a Will, but has not been put into another name, so this is effectively still a 'one owner' car ! SpecificationMake: FORDModel: ESCORTYear: 1979Chassis Number: BBATUB79875Registration Number: YDW 944TTransmission: ManualEngine Number: UB79875Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 2730 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Charismatic little 948cc-engined Turner 803 purchased new and raced by the legendary Betty Haig, Britain's most successful female competition driver ever.A member of the Haig Whisky family and a grand-niece of Field Marshal Douglas Haig, Commander of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), Elizabeth (Betty) Haig (1905 -1987) was a lifelong enthusiast for all things motoring. She did well in rallies, winning an Olympic Medal in her first pre-war rally, in Germany, with a 1500cc, six-cylinder Singer, a car also used for a WASA trial and Brooklands driving. She then won the Paris-St Raphael Feminin Rally outright in her PB MG, and after the war she won the Ladies’ Cup and her class in the fantastic 1948 Alpine Trial in an AC. She went on a Monte Carlo Rally in an experimental Morris Minor with Elsie Wisdom and Barbara Marshall, and won the 1½ litre class in the very tough 1949 Alpine Trial with a works TC MG.She was equally competent on tarmac driving her HRG to a class-win in a Swiss hill-climb, changed to a Healey-Silverstone, raced a Cooper-JAP and a vee-twin Cooper 1000, drove the highest-placed foreign car, a Triumph TR2, in the 1952 San Remo Rally, raced her AC Ace at Goodwood and Brands Hatch, a Turner 803 in Italy and took Ladies’ Cups at Prescott and Shelsley Walsh with a Lotus Eleven. Then there was a TT MG Magnette raced at Goodwood and Silverstone, gaining a Coupe de Vitesse with an Austin-Healey 100 in a later Paris-St Raphael Rally, and breaking the Ladies’ Record at Prescott in a Lotus 23. A little later she shared a Ferrari with Yvonne Simons in the 1951 Le Mans 24 Hour race, finishing with an average of over 82mph to win the Coupe des Dames. She continued to race for years and loved Silverstone and particularly Goodwood where she competed on a regular basis, presumably using the little Turner in appropriate events. In 1966, Betty and photographer Guy Griffiths established the Historic Sports Car Club (HSCC).A letter in the large history file states that this car, #30/40, was bought new from Jack Turner through Swanden Motor Sales in Worthing by Betty Haig, and registered SUF 1 on 13th March 1957. It’s an 803 but according to a letter in the file, it was fitted with a 948cc A-Series and was, in fact, the prototype for the Turner 950 which commenced production a little later. It appears that at some point the engine was bored out to 997cc and we understand that £100 (a substantial sum then) was invested at Downton Engineering on further modifications. This ‘hot’ engine, although stripped and in need of repair, accompanies the car today which is currently powered by a 948cc unit, lightly modified for road use.In 1960, she sold the car to Isobel Robinson who at that time was the Public Relations Officer for BRM. She had started to compete in Eric Broadley’s 1,172cc Ford engined special (the forerunner to the Lola) before moving to the then Downton-tuned Turner. She owned it for three years continuing to use it in competition – some lovely period shots having been unearthed at the archive at the Beaulieu Motor Museum. The car then moved to Sue Taylor, a friend of Isobel's, who according to a letter from her in 2006, 'raced it a bit'. As a trainee nurse she found it all a bit expensive and part-exchanged it for a Mini. By 1964 the car was seen advertised in Motorsport (copy in file), Sue having kept the number SUF 1 which she still had on her modern Clio when the letter was written. It was re-registered 872 DRV.The story then goes quiet until 1979 when it was discovered, abandoned in Southampton. Recovered by Lee Barton and passed on to his father-in-law, Ken Edwards, its whereabouts was reported to the very active Turner Register. Issued with the age-related number TSV 483, photographs of it exist in a rather down-at-heel state in 1991 when owned by Dave Scott. Happier days lay ahead as the file also contains an invoice and photographs from 1994 of a body-off restoration by West Country Motorsports confirming that the work was completed to a high standard including race preparation. The car was then exported to the US in 1995 to begin the next stage of its life.#30/40’s racing career then took off again, with a series of strong finishes in the VSCCA Historic Race Series before returning to the UK in 2004 where the owner’s brother looked after it until 2012 when it was offered for sale. At that point, on 28th November 2012, it was purchased by our vendor, who’s collection includes some fairly exotic machinery, and was duly registered to him but, as is often the way, it was very rarely used.There is a lot of history with TSV including correspondence from the Turner Registrar, articles and features, old photographs, Turner/Fairthorpe magazines, a number of invoices, restoration details and photographs from 1994, lots of racing results from the US, import documentation, MOTs and V5s etc.Frequently photographed in period, this stunning little Turner is eligible for a wide range of events. It has the potential to be right up there in the thick of it thanks to the ever increasing power outputs squeezed from the remarkable A-Series engine, the superb handling characteristics and the car's light weight. As mentioned earlier, the original engine will be supplied with the car (will need to be collected) and with Betty Haig’s regular appearances at Goodwood and with sufficient investment it may well be welcome at all sorts of glamorous events.Not a concours contender but, with its active period competition history by a brace of well-known lady drivers, this venerable little Turner will no doubt attract a lot of attention wherever it goes. SpecificationMake: TURNERModel: 803Year: 1957Chassis Number: 30/40Registration Number: TSV 483Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 9M-U-H536670Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 5451 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: RedClick here for more details and images

** Awaiting new V5C from the DVLA **A lovely BJ8 that's been in current private ownership for over 30 years. The Austin-Healey 3000 is the very epitome of the classic British sports car and one of the very few cars that can be said to have attained classic status whilst still in production. Quite an achievement then, but not an altogether unexpected one considering Austin-Healey's heritage coupled with its achievements in motorsport. The 3000 Mk III (BJ8) with 150bhp appeared early in 1964 to be followed later in the year by the Phase II version which featured a brace of HD8 SU carburettors, stronger valve springs, a revised camshaft, walnut-veneered dashboard, wind-up windows, a redesigned rear chassis, addressing a long-term criticism of the car's notoriously poor ground clearance, and revised rear suspension incorporating twin radius-arms instead of a Panhard rod. Top speed was now 121mph and the 0-60mph time dipped below 10 seconds. Despite the antiquity of the basic design, the 'Big Healey' remained as popular as ever, although increasingly stringent safety and emissions legislation meant that its days were numbered and by the time production ended in December 1967, over 16,000 Phase IIs - by far the most popular variant - had been built.According to the accompanying Heritage Trust Certificate, this lovely, late-production BJ8 was despatched to Boston, USA on 7th December 1966 in left-hand drive format and was originally finished in British Racing Green with a black leather interior. It was specified from new with wire wheels, overdrive, heater, an adjustable steering column, laminated windscreen, Avon Road Speed tyres and a black tonneau cover which was pretty much the entire options list in 1966.The Healey returned to these shores at the end of the 80s and was purchased by our vendor's late husband in 1989. It has remained in current private family ownership for over 30 years meaning that this BJ8 is excitingly on the market for the first time in over three decades. Now in right-hand drive and classically finished in the striking combination of Colorado Red over Jet Black with chrome wire wheels, red-piped, black leather seats and a Moto-Lita wood-rim steering wheel, this car has clearly been well looked after during its long-term ownership. Indeed, it has resided in a car bubble for the past five years ensuring it presents so well today.Supplied with a history file, including the aforementioned Heritage Certificate, and a fresh MOT prior to the sale, this is a rare opportunity to purchase this delightful example of the final development of the venerable Healey 3000 from long term ownership and at a very sensible guide.SpecificationMake: AUSTIN-HEALEYModel: 3000Year: 1966Chassis Number: H-BJ8-L/39379Registration Number: TBCTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

1979 Triumph 750cc T140 Flat Tracker SpecialRegistration no. KDL 680VFrame no. T140E CA19690Engine no. T140E CA19690A mainstay of American motorcycle sport for decades, flat track racing has only caught on in the UK relatively recently. By the mid-2000s, there were two series: the ACU National Short-track Championship and the Silkolene Short-track Championship, both of which catered for a variety of different types of machine ranging from moto-cross and enduro bikes to purpose-built flat-trackers. Back in the late 1970s though, there was another, ultimately abortive, attempt to establish the sport in this country in the form of the Strongbow Cider-backed series, most of the machines contesting it being Triumph engined flat-trackers. To drum up interest, the organisers had to have American stars present, and Kenny Roberts and Dave Aldana were flown over from the USA to show the Brits how it should be done.This flat tracker-style special was purchased by Mark Wilsmore of Ace Café fame in 1984. Built by the late Bill Crosby of Reg Allen Motorcycles, it features twin front disc brakes with AP Lockheed lightweight racing brake callipers; a Micron fork brace; and a Norman Hyde oil cooler. Purchased by the vendor at the Bonhams Autumn Stafford Sale 2018 (Lot 393), they have since recommissioned it and dry stored. The machine comes with an old V5; a quantity of MoTs (most recent expired 2007); and old/current V5C Registration Certificates.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from The Forshaw Speedway Collection 1928 Rudge-Whitworth 499cc Dirt Track Racing MotorcycleFrame no. 30950Engine no. 55865•Very rare first period Rudge •Restored machine, notably including the infamous all-embracing triangulation•Acquired for the collection in 1993The introduction of Rudge to dirt track racing has been outlined under Lot 499. Whilst from 1929 onward the DT Rudge became an established and successful venture after the first intrepid steps in 1928 had proved fraught with problems. It was Douglas that ruled the tracks until the Rudge started to make its mark during the following year. Many other motorcycle manufacturers were very excited in joining in and at least seventeen displayed DT models at the 1929 Olympia Show. Although some of these machines saw the light of day, only one other than Douglas made the grade and that was Rudge. By June 1928 the first DT Rudge was produced. As with all other manufacturers it was assembled from existing parts and modified as considered necessary. It was not understood what was required for the unique English short circuit cinder tracks, the initial belief being that the frame should be as stiff as possible. Evidence of this with the first Rudge is from the somewhat alarming addition of a full triangulation of tubes bolted to both sides of the main frame, effectively locking the headstock in a brace with the rear wheel mounting point. A problem arose with the first prototype when one of the Rudge workers was allowed to try it out in the works yard. Acceleration was impressive as expected from the TT based engine but when it came to leaning the machine to turn, the rigidity of the frame threw the poor rider into a wall causing injuries from which he never recovered. It was an inauspicious start. Despite persisting with the new model they proved to be difficult to handle although with very good power. Riders could instinctively feel that there needed to be some flexibility in the frame. The 1929 Rudge catalogue clearly shows how this was addressed, notably be the removal of the all-embracing triangulation. In 1929 Douglas still had a good season but the writing was on the wall, the latest Rudge was on the hunt and soon to drive Douglas into oblivion. Richard Forshaw acquired this very rare first period Rudge in 1993. In a letter to him dated 25th March, the noted speedway guru Noel Clark says, 'just come back...a few hours after hearing about your Rudge, you deserve it, had a long time getting one but it sounds a cracker'. From accompanying photographs of the Rudge as acquired it was certainly very complete, indeed a 'cracker' but in an 'as found' condition. Richard commenting 'it is a very original piece showing little signs of use, I am tempted to leave it as it is and certainly would if its condition was a little better'.The machine had been acquired from Halifax along with a Cole engine. Finally the decision was taken to restore the machine notably adding the infamous triangulation which must have been removed from so many of these early Rudges. With the help of many excellent photographs and the excellent Rudge catalogues this DT Rudge, frame number 30950 (last 1928 fame number 31120) is fitted with a 1929 engine and is presented close to the original catalogue specification. Accompanying documents include correspondence, photographs of the machine as found, Rudge catalogues, copies of Rudge factory drawings, relevant extracts from the press and a 21-part series 'The Days of the Speedway Rudge' by Cyril May published in Speedway Star, 1970. The mechanical condition is not known and therefore we recommend re-commissioning and/or restoration to a greater or lesser extent.Key not requiredFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
