1936 RILEY KESTREL FOUR DOOR FASTBACK SALOON RARE SPECIAL SERIES 66K & REALLY LOVELY Estimate £10000 - 12000 Registration Number ANP 999 Chassis Number S66K1694 Engine Number 60344 Engine Capacity 1089 Paint Colour RED/BLACK Trim Colour RED MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. "We make far too many models of course. But then we have a pretty fertile design department, and we like making nice, interesting cars" (Riley Advertising, September 1936). Introduced in 1926, the Riley 9hp range heralded the beginning of a golden era for the Coventry firm that lasted until its acquisition by the Nuffield Organisation during 1938. While the efforts of Freddie Dixon and others helped to establish a formidable competition record, the road cars won acclaim for offering performance levels that belied their relatively small engine capacities. Launched in late 1932, the 9hp Kestrel was based around a low-slung ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. A compact, fastbacked four-door saloon, it was powered by the marque's jewel-like 1087cc 'twin-cam' four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Distinguished from its brethren by a lower roofline and twin horns, the Kestrel was bodied in aluminium over a timber frame. Boasting a surprisingly spacious interior trimmed with good quality hides, thick carpets and plenty of wood veneer, it remained in production until 1936. Registered on the 11th May 1936 to a Mrs. E.M. Whittaker, who strangely only kept it until the October that year, this rare and highly desirable Special Series 66k four door fastback saloon has had just six further known owners since. Following the short first ownership the second, a Mr. C.F. Dearing, made up for it by keeping the car until 1965 whereupon, after passing though three more owners, it arrived with Richard 'Dickie' Adams in 1996. He started a 4000 hour restoration which took 30 months and it's first outing was to a Riley meeting on New Years Day 1999. It covered about 3000 miles before a piston failed whereupon the engine was rebuilt by Riley expert Barrie Gillies with new high compression pistons, a block twin exhaust cam conversion for increased performance, the radiator was modified for the fitment of a temperature gauge and a stainless steel exhaust was fitted - all less than 250 miles ago. We are informed by the vendor that ANP 999 was restored to the highest standards, as befits an aircraft engineer, and as testament to this it received several awards at Riley and other events. The upholstery has been carefully preserved and the trim, opening glass and sunroof are all excellent. The inflatable airbag seat cushions were remanufactured, the chassis was galvanised and zinc sprayed, all the rust was removed, all the rotten woodwork was replaced and it was rewired. A delightful car that performs well with an extremely good ride, an excellent steering response but it will benefit from use and settling in, especially now that it has more power.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle now comes with MOT and Road Fund Licence until February 2008.
1962 JAGUAR MK2 3.4 LITRE ORIGINAL RHD & MECHANICALLY REBUILT Estimate £7500 - 8500 Registration Number MSJ 594 Chassis Number 161266DN Engine Number KH7048-8 Engine Capacity 3442 Paint Colour O.E.W. Trim Colour RED MOT Expiry Date SEPT 2007 The 1955 launched 2.4 Litre ventured into a new market for Jaguar, being smaller than their existing luxury saloons and in doing so it virtually created the niche for the compact but luxurious sporting saloon. Available as a larger engined 3.4 Litre from 1957, the model really came into its own on the launch of what was known as the Mark II range in October 1959. Featuring a wider rear track to improve the handling and disc brakes all-round plus smaller pillars for improved visibility, the curvaceous Mark II became the definitive sporting saloon in the 1960s. Available in 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8 litre engined versions the Mark II was a force to be reckoned with on the racetracks, many a duel being fought with the faster but much less nimble Ford Galaxies. The inherent correctness of the design meant that the MK II was able to continue substantially unchanged through most of the 1960s until a reshuffle of Jaguar's saloon car range in 1966/67 lead to this bodyshell being used for an entry level model called the 240/340 with de-contented specification. The last model rolled off the Browns Lane production lines in 1969.The 1962 Mark II 3.4 litre manual with overdrive offered for sale here is finished in Old English white with a red leather interior. The recorded mileage shown is 97,000 although the vendor is unable to verify if this is correct. Originally bought by an American Air Force officer based in the UK, we are told that he took this vehicle back with him when he returned to the US. There is a history file available for viewing in the document office dating from 1984-1995 and it would appear that the car spent much of its life in Arizona before being imported back to the UK and refurbished by Rugby Classic garages. Owned by the vendor since July 1998 there are bills to show a engine rebuild and gearbox/overdrive overhaul and the car is described as being 'good' in all aspects. The MOT is valid until September 2007 and the car is taxed until March 2007.PLEASE NOTE: The vendor has informed us that the engine has been modified to run on unleaded petrol and it keeps very good oil pressure.
1930 MG M-TYPE OLDER RESTORATION, HISTORY BACK TO 1942 Estimate £12500 - 14500 Registration Number MG 445 Chassis Number 2/M1360 Engine Number MG1120A Engine Capacity 885 Paint Colour GREEN Trim Colour GREEN MOT Expiry Date APRIL 2007 Introduced at the October 1928 London Motor Show, the M-Type proved to be a landmark model for MG. Smaller, lighter and cheaper than anything the marque had yet produced, the newcomer was based around a stepped ladder-frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. Inspired by WW1 aero-engine practice, its SOHC 847cc four-cylinder engine developed 20bhp @ 4,000rpm (rising to 27bhp during 1930) and was allied to three-speed manual transmission (though, a four-speed gearbox would later become optional). While, most M-types wore Carbodies coachwork in either open 'Boat-Tail' tourer or closed 'Sportsman' coupe guises, some were supplied as bare chassis. Priced from £175, the diminutive MG was reputedly capable of 64mph and 40mpg. Decidedly compact (6ft6in wheelbase / 3ft6in track), it garnered considerable competition success taking gold medals in the 1929 Land's End Trial and a class win in the 1930 Brooklands 'Double Twelve'. Although total production is thought to have amounted to 3,325 cars (1928-1932), survivors are comparatively scarce today.First registered on April 12th 1930, 'MG 445' has changed hands just four times in the last sixty-five years. The subject of a sympathetic older restoration, it sports a V-shaped windscreen, J2-style cutaway doors, 'MG' fasteners, 1953 tax disc, Rotax instrument panel, adjustable seat back and Royal Aero Club Associate badge. Starting readily on inspection, the M-Type houses a jack, spare wheel, hood and sidescreens within its boat-tail. A truly enchanting little car, 'MG 445' is offered for sale with buff logbook, sundry correspondence, Octagon Car Club ephemera, MOT certificate valid until April 26th 2007 and historic class (free) road tax valid until June 30th 2007.
1935 HUMBER 12 VOGUE DROPHEAD COUPE ONLY KNOWN EXAMPLE IN HUMBER CAR CLUB Estimate £14000 - 16000 Registration Number BKT 961 Chassis Number 12/20661 Engine Number 12/20668 Engine Capacity 1669 Paint Colour MAROON Trim Colour BEIGE MOT Expiry Date AUG 2007 "Born to become a style leader . . . this chic car marks the perfect union between artist and engineer" (Humber 12hp Vogue brochure).Introduced in 1932, the Humber 12hp was a neat, well resolved design. Based around a rigid ladder-frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes, it was powered by a 1669cc four-cylinder sidevalve engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Solidly built, the compact Humber was reputedly capable of 68mph and 25mpg. As well as a variety of more humdrum open and closed derivatives, the 12hp chassis also played host to the 'Vogue' two-door coachwork range conceived in conjunction with Molyneux of London and Paris. Arguably the ultimate 'Vogue' 12hp offering, the Three-Position Drophead Coupe boasted a number of unique features.Reportedly the only one of its kind known to the Post Vintage Humber Car Club, 'BKT 961' has been in the current ownership since 1970. Finished in maroon with beige leather upholstery, it is described by the vendor as being in "very good" condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres (though, he notes that the clock is not working). The subject of an extensive restoration that was finished in 1993, the drophead is said to be "98% original" and to have "won many cups for Best in Show". Apparently "retaining all its original tools and built-in jacks" (though, the latter are not currently fitted), this former Alexandra Palace concours entrant is offered for sale with correct type 'Vogue' Flying Lady mascot, MOT certificate valid until August 22nd 2007 and historic class (free) road tax.
