Registration No: JNP 570 Chassis No: GS2501760 MOT: ExemptA clean example that was subject to a comprehensive overhaul in the late 80s / early 90sFloor gearchange exampleSporting a delightful original 'special order' interiorSubject to recent cylinder head overhaul and attention to the bodyworkIntroduced in 1947, the A40 was Austin's first 'clean sheet' post-WW2 family saloon design. Based on a sturdy chassis frame equipped with independent front suspension, a 'live' rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes, the newcomer was powered by a 1200cc OHV four-cylinder engine allied to a four-speed manual transmission. With 40bhp on tap, it was reputedly capable of over 70mph. Once production was in full swing and the principal Devon (four-door) and Dorset (two-door) saloon models firmly established, other variants joined the A40 line-up including a Jensen-designed sports four-seater, 10cwt Pickup, 10cwt Van and Estate car (or 'Countryman' as it was known).First registered on 29th July 1950, ‘JNP 570’ is a rare example of an Austin A40 Devon, that was supplied from new in the attractive colour scheme of Black over a special order Grey interior with a rare Smiths clock rear-view mirror and a floor-change gearbox. Little is known of the early history of the Austin, however, it has been evidently very well looked after and has retained much of its original interior, even following a comprehensive body restoration during the late 1980s / early 1990s.Purchased by the vendor in 2015, ‘JNP 570’ has been cherished as part of a small private collection and has been maintained impeccably throughout his period of ownership. Recent works include a cylinder head overhaul during which hardened valve seats were fitted so that the car could comfortably be run on unleaded petrol. The front of the body has received much attention to the metalwork and paint. Now offered at No Reserve at our Duxford auction, the Austin is described as being in ‘very good’ order all round and will instantly transport any prospective owner back to an age when these now rare cars were de rigueur on the streets of Britain.PLEASE NOTE: A previous owner has been in contact and described that this A40 Devon is a very well known car with an extensive history file. We are indebted to previous owner, Mr David Whyley for his description: The car was first registered on 29th July 1950 to Victor Morral of the Motor House Broadway Road Evesham and in the early 1980’s, the car was then taken in payment for a job by a worker at a house in the Evesham area. It would later be offered for Auction at a Wolverhampton car auction and then Trevor Bradley acquired it on the 20th March 1981 when it was re-commissioned for the road. David and Anne Whyley bought it from him on 30/05/8 when it had covered just 49,000 miles. David and Anne would be custodians of the A40 for thirty years during which time it would be featured in many magazine articles and documentaries including "The Car is the Star". David also overhauled the engine at 89,000 miles and replaced all of the chromework with new old stock fittings. David is a highly regarded Austin historian and described 'JNP 570' as "one of the best preserved examples left in existence today."

Registration No: DAK 760 Chassis No: 74554 MOT: Exempt1 of just 19 examples manufactured, with c.12 reputed to have survivedComprehensively restored by the TT Workshop in approximately 2005Part of BMW UK's historic fleet from 2015-2022 and displayed at various events with BMWRecommissioned by BMW in 2022Cosmetically detailed while in the vendor's ownership and now presenting excellentlyThe reputation of BMW as a manufacturer of sporting motorcars initially started with the annual ‘Eifel Race’ event, held at the Nürburgring. On the 14th of June 1936, Ernst Henne beat a field that included 1½-litre single-seat racing cars driving the prototype of what would become one of the most iconic sports cars of all time – the legendary ‘328’. The 328 would go on to dominate the 2-litre race class and achieved outright victory in the 1940 Mille Miglia. The fact that the initial victory of 1936 had been achieved only eight years after BMW’s establishment as an automobile manufacturer made it all the more remarkable. To capitalise on the racing success, the company launched a new range of models that would become the foundation of its reputation as a manufacturer of highest quality cars with power and style. The 328 flagship of the range incorporated a lightweight tubular chassis and a powerful straight-six engine with overhead valves and triple carburettors.Alongside the 328, BMW offered the 327, a delightful four-seater sports tourer based on a shortened, boxed, ladder-type chassis with semi-elliptic rear springs, a Hurth 4-speed gearbox and hydraulic brakes all round. Offered as a two-door Coupe or Cabriolet, there was also two engine options, the more powerful of which (the 327/80) utilised the lusty 80bhp unit from the 328. This engine was the masterpiece of designer Rudolf Schleicher and although only displacing 1,971cc, it utilised hemispherical combustion chambers, inclined valves and twin downdraught inlet ports generating a very credible 80bhp in standard tune. The styling was again the work of Peter Schimanowski and lent itself to the two-tone paintwork that adorned many examples of the breed.Rewinding the clock somewhat to January 1st 1929, a former GN apprentice became managing director of AFN Ltd., H.J. ‘Aldy’ Aldington, was also a keen competitor. Dubbed the ‘High Priest of the Chain Gang’ by none other than Bill Boddy, his team finished second overall on the 1933 Alpine Trial. Determined to go one better the following year, he was dismayed to find that his Chain Gang Nashes were no match for BMW’s new 315 Two-Seater Sports. Thanks to financial input from A.F.P. Fane, AFN Ltd became the sole concessionaire for BMW in the UK during November 1934 with the resultant right-hand drive cars being offered as Frazer-Nash BMWs. This arrangement continued until the outbreak of war in 1939 when, unsurprisingly, it was rapidly terminated. Only 19 examples of the Frazer Nash-BMW 327/80s were imported and, it's believed, just 12 survive.Imported by AFN Ltd into Isleworth in early 1939 for supply to its first owner and road registered ‘DAK 760’, the 327/80 is finished attractively in Midnight Blue over Cream with Blue pinstripes. Possessing a real presence and displaying none of the stately Teutonic pomp normally associated with pre-war German cabriolets, but echoes the elegant lines of thirties' Alfas with styling cues that suggest the work of those ‘swoopy’ Blue and Cream creations beloved of the French coachbuilders. The story is continued throughout the interior with lavish Navy Blue leather, with a beautiful dashboard fitted with Cream-faced Art Deco-style instruments and clocks surrounded by an array of Bakelite switches and knobs. The folding Blue soft-top appears in excellent condition and the jack etc. are neatly stashed in the engine bay.Lavished with a full restoration in approximately 2005 by well-renowned marque specialists, TT Workshop, which included a full engine overhaul and gearbox renewal to the cost of some £17,000 before thereafter joining BMW UK's Historic Fleet in 2015. Remaining there for several years, the 327/80 was featured at various events and displays before the decision to rationalise the Historic Fleet was taken in 2022. Provided with a full recommissioning by BMW, the Frazer-Nash was then acquired by the vendor into his private collection, which does contain other significant BMWs. Used for events and shows during the vendor's ownership, the brakes were also overhauled by Norfolk Classics shortly after purchase, and now reputedly runs well. Cosmetically detailed by the vendor and then simply used and enjoyed, the Frazer-Nash now comes to market ready for the next custodian.Having covered minimal mileage since the TT Workshop restoration (a believed 900 miles), this exceptionally rare, examples of the 327/80 rarely come to market making this an opportunity not to be missed for Frazer-Nash or BMW enthusiasts.

Registration No: AUB 48E Chassis No: 1E1819 MOT: ExemptAn original UK home market, right-hand drive Series 1 first registered in swinging 60s LondonComprehensively restored during the 1980's by Rawdon Restorations and subsequently a previous concours winner during the 1990sFeatured in a Classic & Sports Car magazine artcle in 1997 in which it was reviewed and driven by John SurteesMeticulously maintained and sensibly upgraded by the long term current owner and rated as an 'excellent' driver's carAmong the last century's great motoring icons, Jaguar's E-type has always inspired loyalty and devotion. Born out of the fabulous D-type racer, the model soon acquired a strong competition heritage of its own. Launched at the 1961 Geneva Salon, the Big Cat proved faster and more glamorous than virtually any production rival. Certainly, few could match its reputed 150mph top speed. At a time when Ferrari's lauded 250SWB and 250GTO made do with 'live' rear axles, the E-type utilised a sophisticated independent rear set-up with inboard disc brakes. While, rack and pinion steering enhanced the monocoque chassis's excellent roadholding and handling; putting it light years ahead of American designs like the Corvette. Revised in 1964, the E-type gained a torquier 4235cc powerplant and four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox of Jaguar's own design.Chassis 1E1819 was manufactured on 2nd May 1967 and despatched to Henlys of London on 19th May. First registered as ‘PLU 608E’, the Roadster’s first owner was a Mr B Kanarek of London W1. It appears the E-Type lived a rather modest life and only nine years after it was supplied new, its then owner, Mr Alan Jones of Shipley, Yorkshire would lay the car up in storage, waiting to find a new life.Forgotten about, until a Chris Denton of Bradford purchased it and sent the Roadster to Rawdon Restoration of Leeds c.1985/6, for whatever reason, Mr Denton sold on the car when the restoration was 95% complete, being purchased by a Mr Timothy Garnett of Ilkley and finally returning to the road in August 1987 with 50,732 miles on the clock. Mr Garnett was fastidious with the E-Type’s ownership and deservedly successful in concours events. Subsequently, The E-Type Centre of Chilcote, chose to purchase it for use as their brochure car, also becoming the cover star for an issue of Classic & Sports Car magazine, with an article that would feature F1 World Champion John Surtees comparing ‘the world’s best drivers’ cars’.The vendor purchased the two-seater from The E-Type Centre in August 1999 with an indicated 56,923 miles. During his 25-year ownership, he has regularly used it for several events including the E-Type 50th anniversary trip to Geneva with Jaguar Heritage plus much more. In 2021, the vendor’s son drove the car to the Goodwood Revival. Fastidious with maintenance, the vendor has kept the car maintained to a very high standard with some subtle upgrades for modern road use. He commented, ‘there are some stone chips around the bonnet nose which is to be expected with a 37-year-old restoration that has been used. …it is still, however, a credit to the people who restored the car in 1986.’ For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430
