1929 Sunbeam Sixteen Drophead CoupéRegistration no. VN 1433Chassis no. 5611K*High quality Vintage-era sporting car*Engine shows good oil pressure*Radiator re-cored*Five new Firestone tyres, wheels powder-coatedFootnotes:Founded by John Marston, a God-fearing Victorian industrialist who foresaw the growth in demand for private transport, Sunbeam was first associated with beautifully made, though expensive, bicycles. Although comparative latecomers to motor car manufacture, the Wolverhampton-based Sunbeam factory quickly established a fine reputation alongside Lanchester, Wolseley, Austin, and Daimler at the heart of the expanding Midlands motor industry. John Marston Limited's first Sunbeam production car, a De Dion-engined voiturette, was sold in 1901, but it was not until 1907, two years after the Sunbeam Motor Car Company had been formed, that the firm produced its first all-British model, the 16/20. The arrival of designer Louis Coatalen in 1909 and the pursuit of an effective competition programme enabled Sunbeam to establish a formidable reputation prior to WWI, its superbly made products enjoying a reputation rivalling that of the best from Alvis and Bentley thereafter. Produced between 1929 and 1933, the Sunbeam 'Sixteen' featured a massively built chassis frame sprung by semi-elliptics all round, and was powered by an overhead-valve six-cylinder engine of 2,040cc rated at 16.9hp for taxation purposes. Hydraulic brakes arrived for 1931 together with a 2,193cc engine rated at 18hp, and in 1932 the four-speed gearbox gained synchromesh on third and top gears. Sadly, the collapse of the Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq combine in 1935 and its subsequent acquisition by Rootes meant that the revised Sixteen - one of the last true Sunbeams - never got the chance it deserved. This charming Vintage-era Sunbeam Sixteen drophead coupé is reported as having bodywork, glass, trim, and wheels/tyres in very good condition, while the two-tone green/black paintwork is rated as good. The interior was re-upholstered 12 years ago and the tan seats, door cards, dashboard and carpet are still in very good condition, with the hood described as excellent. Said to start and run very well, the engine displays good oil pressure and is charging well. The radiator has been re-cored and the gearbox, running gear, and electrics are reportedly either good or very good. A good history file comes with the Sunbeam, which is an ideal for car for VSCC motoring in all weathers. Stylish six-cylinder Vintage motoring at an affordable price!For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Ex-Schlumpf and Mercedes-Benz Museum Collections1901 Panhard et Levassor Type A2 7hp Twin-Cylinder Rear-Entrance TonneauRegistration no. BS 8623Chassis no. 3114*Copies of factory Panhard-Levassor records on file*Copiously researched and fresh from extensive restoration by noted specialists*'The definitive London to Brighton car' with early start time*Dated by The Veteran Car Club of Great Britain1,648cc, Side-Valve Twin-Cylinder Phenix Inline Engine7hp, Single CarburettorThree-Speed Manual Transmission with Chain DriveFront Suspension, Fully Elliptic Leaf Spring, Rear, Semi-Elliptic Leaf SpringTwo-Wheel Contracting Band Brakes, with additional Transmission BrakeFootnotes:'...the two-cylinder car must be regarded as one of the most reliable and best-made machines of the Veteran era' – John Bolster, of the Panhard-Levassor.The dawn of the automobile may be in the Benz camp, but in many ways the Système Panhard, pioneered much of the concept of how a car was operated and continues to be today. The engine was moved to the front, beneath a 'bonnet', the transfer of speed was mechanical, cog on cog, rather than by belt, and Panhards were the first to encase their geared transmission in a 'box'. Piano style pedals were used for operating clutch and transmission brakes. First a tiller was used to operate the directional control of the car, but within a few years this was replaced with a 'steering' wheel. It all sounds obvious today, but the Panhard was the first car on which these concepts were seen. Only one main aspect shows its age, that of the transfer of power to the road by chains from the transfer 'box', this part of the mechanism would remain fashionable through the introduction of the Daimler 'Mercedes' product for at least a decade, but still to many the idea of a chain drive car remains very appealing!Type A2 Panhard-Levassors such as this magnificent example may be considered as a transitional model as they retain the Daimler-Phénix powerplant which the brand, and arguably the industry, had been built upon, but it was now mounted in a car with a lower frame and of proportions that were more user friendly. In addition to their importance and stature in the history of the automobile, in today's age of vociferous documentation and proof of history, Panhard-Levassor cars are head and shoulders above most in that the original ledgers recording their order and supply survive, definitively proving their age, which can be a challenge for some cars.This example has been extensively researched by its owner, enabling much of its fascinating history to be charted. To begin with, copies of the Panhard-Levassor ledger records describe this motor car as being built with 7hp engine number 3114 on 25 October 1901, with 'caisse carrosserie ordinaire' bodywork, being their reference to a standard rear-entrance tonneau, 'garniture en cuir noir tendue, porte arriere montante jusqu'en haut' - tight black leather trim, rear door rising to the top (confirming tonneau), and electric ignition. Today, the car sports a coachbuilder plaque for La Carrosserie Industrielle, which it has worn since at least the 1960s, who were Paris based and were more than likely the builder of its body for Panhard. The car was sold to Palais de l'Automobile – a dealing agency for a number of automobile manufacturers, situated at 219 Boulevard Peraire in Paris. Precisely who the Palais delivered 3114 to is not known, but documented through the French vehicle registration system its ensuing history starts as early as 1909, when the car was registered with the licence number '415 BB', a Bordeaux plate. Its owner at this point was one A. Kossotty a 'Constructeur & Mecanicien' of Avenue Gambetta in the town of Saintes. Beneath the annotation on the hand-written records, its next owner is Paul Cureau. As it turns out, these two gentlemen were father and son-in-law, Paul Cureau marrying Marguerite Kossotty in 1902 in Paris and later taking over Mr. Kossotty's business. It is conceivable that Cureau had bought the Panhard in Paris, and brought it with him to the Bordeaux region later, or else more likely that either had bought the car as an intriguing piece of engineering history a few years after it would have been current. It is also possible that they were responsible for the light revisions to its guise in which the car was presented to the Association des Proprietaries de Vielles Voitures Automobiles 'Les Teuf-Teuf' on 30th July 1937, by which time it can be seen to have had its rear seats removed, and its standard bonnet replaced with a more angular affair which it retains to this day. The seller surmises that perhaps Kossotty or Cureau had customised it to participate in sporting events held in that region by Le Petite Gironde. The owner in July 1937 is listed to the 'Teuf-Teuf' as Albert Streit of Cachan, a Paris suburb, who cited ownership on his application of a Hurtu car also. From this point, the Panhard was used in the club's events, notably as late as 25th June 1939 on a Paris-Rouen rally, and returned to use immediately after the war. Period film footage exists of this and other 'Vieux Tacots' parading through Paris on 1st January 1947. Its use continued through this period, it being seen on other news reel footage of 1950s events in France, in Pau, and in Paris, and a magazine article of it in Clermont-Ferrand. At some point it seems that it appeared on the radar of the Schlumpf brothers who were busy quietly amassing their huge collection on their textiles business property in Mulhouse. Although best known for more than 100 Bugattis that they accumulated, there are many veteran cars, and it is believed that the Panhard at least for a little while was one of those. A photo on file shows the car with another Schlumpf collection car in the 1960s. According to information supplied to the last but one owner when the car was purchased from the reserve collection of the Mercedes-Benz Museum via their Classic Center, it had arrived in their collection described as an 1898 (sic) Panhard, but for the reason of its Daimler engine, and had come from Schlumpf in exchange for the Silberpfeil – or Silver Arrow Grand Prix Mercedes-Benz, which remains in that collection today. Certainly, the Panhard resided with Mercedes from 1965, and emerged when included in a group deal with the Louwman Collection in 2010. It was sold as part of a separate group deal from that collection to noted Swiss Enthusiast and dealer Christoph Grohe in 2012, from whom the current owner acquired the car. Over the course of the last 7 years, the Panhard was first researched thoroughly to ensure that a restoration would be as accurate as possible, and then entrusted to experts in their respective fields. The majority of this work was carried out by the team at Tattersalls Veteran to Classic, the mechanical aspect was refurbished where necessary, including rebuilding of the engine with new bearings, repair to one of its mountings, new drive cogs, and the fitment of a modern starter motor to assist with its use. Interestingly, during this exercise the pistons were found to have domed heads, suggesting an attempt at increasing its performance. To match its build sheet, Tattersall's woodwork expert David Thompson ensured that the rear of bodywork was rebuilt to its original rear entrance tonneau design, using comparisons with a surviving factory 1901 car. At the same time the now much bowed wood members of the frame were replaced (the original bars remain with the car), and an additional transverse leaf spring which was fitted to the rear was removed, to return it to its original format. The upholstery work was undertaken by esteemed trimmer Julian Taylor of Protectus, complete with a two-piece front/rear tonneau cover in double-duck. The whole car was brush painted in period style in Brewster Green by Daniel... For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 220

From the collection of a distinguished gentleman1925 Lanchester 40hp Tickford SaloonCoachwork by Salmons & Sons, Newport PagnellRegistration no. MB 9999Chassis no. 1953*Considered by many superior to the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost*Known ownership history*Present ownership since 1995*Professionally restored with no expense spared 1996-2015*Offered at a mere fraction of the restoration costsFootnotes:Lanchester recommenced civilian production after WWI with a single model, the luxurious 40hp, which was even more expensive than the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost and rated every bit as highly, if not more so. The Lanchester 40hp had been launched at the London Olympia Motor Show in October 1919 and was intended to challenge the likes of Rolls-Royce and Daimler for the landed gentry and Mayfair carriage trade. Powered by a 6,178cc six-cylinder overhead-camshaft engine, driving via a Lanchester three-speed epicyclic gearbox, the Forty was capable of carrying the massive coachwork that its target market demanded. There were servo-assisted four-wheel brakes from 1924 and Lanchester's flagship was capable of accelerating from 5 to 78mph in top gear. With a rolling chassis price of £1,800 in 1925, it cost the equivalent of seven semi-detached houses. The Forty was produced from 1919 to 1929, although available to special order for a couple more years. Only 392 of these magnificent cars were built. They were owned by some of the world's richest and most famous, including the Duke of York (later King George VI), Prince Chichibu of Japan, Sir John Ellerman (reputedly England's richest man), Indian cricketer Ranji (the Maharaja of Nawanagar), and the fabulously wealthy Maharaja of Alwar. Somewhat surprisingly, the Lanchester 40hp also enjoyed a very successful racing and record-breaking career, setting a new 400km mark in 1924 of 157km/h (97.5mph). Originally fitted with Lanchester's own tourer coachwork, 'MB 9999' was first registered to a Mr O'Hanlon of Alderley Edge, Cheshire in 1925. The original body was replaced with a later Windovers limousine body in 1955. For the next 40 years 'MB 9999' was owned by the Jefferies family of Wilmslow, Cheshire who kept the Lanchester at their Commons Garage in Sandbach. In 1995 the car was purchased by the late gentleman owner from Brooks' auction at Ascot. In 1996 a complete mechanical and chassis rebuild was commenced at Arthur Archer's of Dunmow, with two new engine blocks cast. The large and unattractive limousine body was in very poor condition and not restorable. Fortuitously, a contemporary Salmons Tickford body from a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost (chassis number '2095') came on the market and was purchased from Charles Howard. This Tickford body has a retractable leather roof opened by a winding mechanism, converting the car from saloon to a capacious tourer. The new body cost £24,000 and Wilkinson's of Derby's alterations to make it fit a further £52,676. The interior trim was entrusted to Dave Beswick who has done a wonderful job. His works cost £22,098 and the extensive history file also contains bills from Arthur Archer totalling £279,000. Costing £353,774 in total, this no-expense-spared restoration was completed in April 2015, 19 years after the project commenced. The result is a 1925 period-correct four-door saloon of considerable presence. In 2016 the owner's patience and dedication were duly rewarded when 'MB 9999' won The Lanchester Trust's Restoration Award, as evidenced by an attached plaque. That same year, the late owner contributed a lengthy article to the Trust's newsletter (number '33') describing the restoration in great detail (copy article on file, perusal recommended). The exceptional history file also contains the original buff logbook; old/current V5/V5C documents; engineering drawing and notes; and a photographic record of the rebuild: engine overhaul, body restoration, etc.Having completed its running-in miles, the Lanchester was shown at various events. It then remained unused for a few years before running a big-end bearing. The main bearing cap, con-rod and crankshaft will all require inspection and fettling before seeing active use once again. On a par with the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, but much rarer, this absolutely stunning and unique Lanchester 40hp is offered at a fraction of the restoration costs.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
