1909 Riley 12/18 Open TourerReg. no. BY 1963Chassis no. 1842Engine no. 1692VCC dating Certificate Number: 379Riley, like so many British companies was born out of a bicycle business. The first cars were tricycles and quads and in 1904 a single cylinder fore-car powered by a 517cc engine was introduced. In 1907 the first four-wheel production car was introduced powered by a V-twin engine mounted midships with a gearbox alongside and final drive by chain. Larger cars were introduced in 1908 with the V-twin mounted at the front. Two engine sizes were available being 1390cc and 2075 cc. At this time the Riley patent detachable wire wheels were introduced making it the first production car with detachable wheels. So successful were the wheels they were supplied to many other makers, amongst them Napier, Hispano-Suiza and Rolls-Royce. The 12/18 was fitted with the round radiator, 3-speed gearbox and shaft drive. By 1912 the wheel making business threatened the car production, so a new Company was formed for the car manufacturing and named the Riley Motor Manufacturing Co Ltd. In 1914 the V-Twins were joined by the 17/30 4-cylinder car. The first known keeper on record appears to be a Mr. Pidgeon circa 1948. 1692 was then presented to the VCC for dating in 1953 by a Mr. Sandford and certificate number 379 issued confirming the 1909 date. Subsequently owned by Pam Knight and campaigned by husband Ron, an avid collector of Darracqs, the car then passed to Nic Dyer before being acquired by the vendor’s late father in 2018.Chassis number 1842 is a correct car in every respect and one of only seven known to exist. Erected in 1908 on a long chassis the car wears a pretty 4-seater body with a coachbuilders plaque of Hollick and Pratt Coventry. Entry to the rear is by means of the front passenger seat swinging open. The coachwork is finished in green with white coach lining and shows a nice patina; the upholstery is black button back style. A full set of lights are fitted, acetylene headlamps and electric side lights and electric divers type rear lamps. Ignition to the cylinders is by means of trembler coils and magneto whilst lubrication is drip fed and hand pump.This rare Riley is offered with a current V5, a VCC of GB dating certificate, a collection of early photos of the car on VCC events as well as being actively campaigned in VSCC hill climbs, old MOT and tax discs as well as various history in the file; this car would certainly grace any collection.
1901 Renault 450cc Series E 4-seater TonneauReg. no. A 2743Chassis no. 023Engine no. 4749VCC Dating Certificate 1217Louis Renault built his first car in 1898 utilising a primitive tubular chassis and a propriety De Dion engine. Having secured substantial financial backing production soon started at Billancourt with the 1 3/4 and 3 hp cars. To publicise the cars Louis and his brother Marcel saw the benefits from active participation in early motor races. The Renault voiturettes were highly thought of, with Louis Renault leading a team of four cars in the 1901 Paris-Bordeaux Race. Louis won the voiturette class completing the epic race in a time of 9 hours and 31 minutes with Marcel second and the other two Renaults third and fourth.This early London to Brighton eligible car is unusual in that its complete history is known. It was supplied new by the sole agents for Renault Freres and Mors cars Roadway Autocar Co Ltd in London to Captain Basil Emery of Bulford Wilts and Hunstanton Norfolk. Captain Emery was a decorated career Army Officer and there is a photo on file taken c.1907 of him and his fiancé taken outside Ely Cathedral. The car was acquired in 1920 by a Mr Barnes, a chimney sweep from Reading who used it in his business. It was then acquired in 1927 by the well-known coachbuilders and motor dealers Vincents of Reading, and was in their custody until 1975. There then followed five owners until the current vendors late father acquired the car in 2006.This 1901 example is powered by a 4.5 single cylinder water cooled De Dion engine with automatic inlet and mechanical exhaust valves and features the traditional side radiators characteristic of Renault at that time. The car is running on the correct trembler ignition system and under the bonnet is fitted the De Dion type coil. The gearbox has three forward and a reverse gear. Now fitted with a four, as opposed to the original two, seat bodywork the front carries two plates cast with E Vicart et Fils of Levallois (Seine). The coachwork is presented in green with coach lining and red button upholstery and is fitted with brass sidelamps, an oil rear lamp and a brass horn.As well as being a proven early starter for the London to Brighton Run this historic veteran is also eligible for all VVC rallies including a number of popular single and twin events as well as Renault Frères events in France and is easily transportable. The car is offered with a current V5, an old style buff logbook, a VCC dating certificate and an extensive history file. Usefully there are also notes on the starting procedure as well as suggested driving technique both backwards and forwards.
