- Supplied new to John Evans of Swansea and chauffeur driven until 1932 - Bodied by John Norman (Cardiff) Ltd, restored late 1990s / early 2000s - Said to possess 'very good' 3.9 litre engine, gearbox and interior Further Info: The nameplate inside its driver's door shows this delightful four-door four-seat Touring Buick to have been bodied by John Norman Coachbuilder (Cardiff) Ltd, Wales, the country it remained in until purchased by the Somerset-based vendor last year. The car's first owner was textile importer John Hugh Evans of Swansea, who evidently employed a chauffeur to drive him between the stores to whom he sold cloth and haberdashery. In 1932 title passed to timber merchant Dan Lloyd of Bwlchllan, who reputedly installed the vehicle in his works and retained it for some 46 years before selling to a Mr Bliss of Nanteos Mansion, Aberystwyth. He originally planned to restore the Buick, but had a change of heart when he realised just how much was entailed, whereupon it was consigned to a field until rescued by John Powell in 1998. Making good use of existing contacts in the United States, Powell purchased a variety of spares and a donor car. He also acquired a centre lathe on which to make other parts from scratch. After three or four years of hard graft, the Buick was finally up and running once again. The vendor (only the second keeper to drive the Buick on public roads) acquired it to use as a wedding car, but those plans fell through, hence its current availability. 'CY 4210' is finished in Maroon over Black and trimmed in Maroon leather. It is powered by a 3.9-litre straight-six OHV engine of 27.6hp, that drives through a three-speed manual gearbox. Braking is on the rear wheels alone. The fuel is nowadays fed by an electric pump, but the original Autovac comes with the car. The vendor currently regards the bodywork and paintwork as 'excellent', the engine, transmission and interior trim as 'very good' and the Black double duck hood in as-new condition.
- Rare and elegant Grande Routiere with usine 'Decouvrable' coachwork - 3-litre OHV straight-six engine, Cotal electromagnetic transmission - Never allowed to deteriorate to the point of needing restoration Further Info: This supremely elegant two-door Decouvrable typifies the pre-war 'Grande Routiere' class of rapid, luxurious touring cars made by prime French manufacturers Delage, Delahaye, Talbot Lago and Hotchkiss. They were designed to make short shrift of the country's poplar-lined Routes Nationales and invariably featured straight-six engines of around 3-litres capacity coupled to Cotal electromagnetic manual transmissions. The sale car was constructed at the onset of war, when Hotchkiss rapidly ceased the manufacturer of motorcars in order to concentrate on munitions. It is likely that 'WXG 923' survived the conflict secreted in a company facility outside Auxerre, and was not sold to its first owner until 1947. He was a wealthy Lisbon-based industrialist, where the car has remained until recently, changing hands just three further times. The 680 Monte Carlo was powered by Hotchkiss's own 3016cc OHV straight-six engine, which drove through the aforementioned rapid and smooth changing four-speed Cotal manual gearbox. Unlike its major competitors, Hotchkiss tended to fashion its own coachwork and this model was one of its most exclusive, and therefore expensive, offerings. The principal benefit of the chic Decouvrable hood system was the additional rigidity afforded by integrating the window frames into the main bodywork. The vendor informs us that the car 'has benefited from having so few owners - all of them apparently wealthy enough to maintain it in good order. The engine is mechanically superb; the Cotal gearbox has been upgraded and operates exceptionally well; the bodywork is extremely sound and the entire motorcar was repainted in a soft shade of Old English White some ten years ago and the wool-lined hood retrimmed in Dark Blue mohair. The interior is delightful, with excellent, similarly-coloured leather trim and original wooden dashboard and door cappings'. The Hotchkiss rides on a matching set of barely used Avon crossply tyres and comes complete with colour-matched hood cover. A notably rare and exciting opportunity.
- 1 of just 3,003 made and reputedly supplied by University Motors - Resident in Holland since c.1963 and recent body restoration - Reportedly 'on the button with good oil pressure and effective cooling' Further Info: Chassis TA1514 was manufactured on 21st June 1937. Its XPJG engine carries a University Motors rebuild plate which, together with other research, suggests they were the supplying dealer. Dutch owned since at least c.1963, the MG has recently undergone a HMRC NOVA declaration and had a UK V5C applied for. A recent body restoration is evident with renewed paint to the chassis, axles and running gear. According to the vendor 'the ash frame has had sections replaced, but retains the original numbered cross member. The body is correct, with the original chrome on the headlamps, radiator grille, sidelights, windscreen and body fittings. New wheel spinners and running board treads have been fitted, along with correct-type dampers. The Ivory paintwork is in good condition and the interior, which has been re-trimmed in Red leathercloth, boasts period bucket seats. The floorboards and internal panelling have been replaced and the car is extremely stable on the road, with no scuttle shake or looseness in the door frames. Modern Lucas spotlights are fitted for night use and rallies. On the button with good oil pressure and effective cooling, this well-maintained TA is ready for immediate use in pre-war and MG club events'.
- 87,000 recorded miles and original red leather upholstery - Recent new clutch and gearbox change, said to 'run well' - Offered for sale with various spares and current MOT certificate Further Info: With the Series II Minor of 1952, came a new engine - the A-Series 803cc OHV unit. The more major update of 1956 saw that powerplant's capacity increased to 948cc, the model rechristened 'Minor 1000', the rear window enlarged and the split-screen front one replaced with a single glass. This very tidily-presented and seemingly unmolested home-market four-door Saloon example was first registered in September 1957. It sports Grey bodywork complemented by an original Red leather interior. The venerable Morris has apparently recently been treated to a new clutch and fresh gearbox, and the old transmission and a variety of other spares are included in the sale. The vendor currently classifies the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as 'good', and says the engine 'starts well' and transmission 'runs well', while he describes the boot and under-bonnet areas as 'very clean and tidy'. The odometer currently registers an unwarranted 86,832 miles.
- Fabulous and highly influential 'art moderne' design - Probably the most original example on the market - Recent 9,000 Euros mechanical overhaul Further Info: Manufactured in late 1936, this splendid 302 Airstream Saloon benefits from a recent professional mechanical restoration. However the coachwork remains untouched and the interior features the original carpets, mats, seats, door panels, instruments and switches, while period accessories include the original air horn. Delivered new to Cherbourg, it comes complete with French Carte Gris, Peugeot 'Lettre D'Attestation' and UK HMRC NOVA entry - a UK V5C has been applied for. The following work has been accomplished in the last 2000km at a cost in excess of Euro 9000: full engine restoration; brake drums ground and braking system overhauled; dynamo, starter motor and carburettor refurbished; new battery, clutch, radiator and Michelin tyres fitted; petrol tank cleaned and tested; steering realigned. This is probably the most original 302s currently for sale, and benefits from an untouched 'oily rag' appearance combined with restored mechanicals. Having just completed a 500 mile European trip, the vendor reports 'constant oil pressure and no overheating, even in temperatures over 32 degrees'. This fine period Peugeot is accompanied by the original first edition owners' handbook, technical manual and history file containing invoices and notes from the recent restoration.
PLEASE NOTE: This vehicles doors are protruding due to the fitment of new Alfa Romeo rubber seals. - Two owners from new and dry stored for the last thirty-one years - Stripped to a bare shell and fully restored by Severn Classics to 'FIA' spec - Approx. 80:20 split between new Alfaholics and refurbished original parts Further Info: The immortally handsome 105/115 Series Coupes were manufactured by Alfa Romeo from 1963 to 1977. Their ground-breaking lines were among the first to be penned for Bertone by the, as yet, relatively unknown master stylist Giorgetto Giugiaro. The Sprint GT was the first variant offered and had a three-year lifespan - 1963-1966, and was powered by a lusty 1570cc version of Alfa's sonorous light-alloy twin-cam engine. The model was very well received and some 31,955 examples were produced all told, a good number of which found their way into motorsport, where they were very successful - and still are today, courtesy of a vibrant range of suitable historic formulae. If you're looking to compete in a Sprint GT, then this, 'as-new', Rosso Red Alfa is for you. A genuine two-owner car, it was dry-stored for 31 years before being treated to a ground-up restoration by Severn Classics, during which it was prepared to 'FIA standard' for hill climbing, sprinting and racing. The vendor says there are too many new parts to mention, but reckons 20 percent of the mechanical items have been professionally refurbished, and the other 80 percent replaced with fresh ones from marque specialist Alfaholics. The Sprint was initially stripped, shot-blasted and new floor pans, door skins, bonnet, boot and wide arches installed. The engine was dipped, vapour blasted and sonic cleaned, and then fully refurbished; as were the gearbox, rear axle and braking and suspension systems. The motorsport parts include roll cage, competition seats and belts, alloy panelling and fuel tank, and the new tyres and Gold-coloured 8x15 wheels on which the Alfa now rides. Now considered by the vendor to be 'excellent' in all major respects, it is on the button and ready for a new keeper to enjoy; and indeed win with.
- Entered from the estate of the late Richard Colton Esq. - Manual, two previous keepers and 19,000 miles from new - Fourth service carried out at 15,343 miles Further Info: Introduced at the 2005 Geneva Salon, the V8 Vantage featured Aston Martin's advanced VH platform (bonded aluminium) architecture and a 4.3-litre 'quad-cam' dry-sumped V8 developing some 380bhp and 302lbft. Available with a choice of manual or automatic transmission, the newcomer was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds and 175mph. Finished in Merlot Red Metallic with Sandstorm leather upholstery, this desirable six-speed manual transmission example was supplied new to Mrs S Lane by Stratstone of Mayfair on 30th March 2007. The late Richard Colton became the Aston Martin's third owner when he bought it from Super Vettura Ltd of Surrey for £43,949 some four years later. The accompanying leather-bound owner's guide shows that the V8 Vantage received its pre-delivery inspection at 41 miles and has since been serviced at 1,202, 4,081, 10,393 and 15,343 miles respectively. Now showing just over 19,000 miles, the junior supercar's impressive specification includes 19-inch alloy wheels, Grey brake callipers, power folding door mirrors, bright finish grille, HID headlamps, electric front seats, satellite navigation with colour screen, Bluetooth telephone system, 6-disc autochanger and air-conditioning. Starting readily upon inspection, this handbuilt Aston Martin is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until June 2016.
- 1 registered keeper & 23,000 miles from new - Original sales invoice, service book and owners handbook - Said to be in 'very good overall' condition and MOT'd into June 2016 Further Info: Fiat have been masters of the small car since the days of the Topolino, and the 128 is one of many such milestone motorcars to have emanated from the company over the years - unveiled in 1969, it was voted European Car of the Year for 1970. It was initially only available as a two- or four-door Saloon and Estate car, and the trendier-looking three-door Coupe version was not launched until the Turin Motor Show of 1971. It featured an all new body on a shortened version of the Saloon platform. Its sprightly performance allowed a 0-60mph time of around 15 seconds and top speed of 85mph. The 128 being sold is a 1972 Coupe. It is finished in Green with a Tan vinyl interior. The log book still only shows one name, and he believes the indicated mileage of 23,000 to be genuine. Offered with the original sales invoice, service book and owners handbook the vendor describes the bodywork, engine, transmission, gearbox and trim as all 'very good'. It is MOT'd into June 2016.
- One of very few known survivors from 89 such cars built - Versatile Doctor's Coupe coachwork complete with dickey seat - Said to 'start instantly' and be 'a pleasure to drive at B-road speeds' Further Info: This charming two-door Humber complete with commodious dickey seat is finished in Bright Blue over Black. The main compartment is upholstered in Beige-coloured buttoned Bedford cord, while that of the dickey seat is sensibly trimmed in Black Rexine. The hood is of Japanned Black leather and the smart little Coupe rides on Black-painted artillery wheels. According to the vendor, just 89 Humbers were built to this particular configuration, of which only one or two are thought to remain, making it an extremely rare motorcar. `BE 9292' has clearly had love and attention lavished upon it, and the vendor informs us that its 1670cc four-cylinder engine `starts instantly' and the Humber is `a pleasure to drive at B-road speeds', the steering is `light and delicate', and the manual gearchange is `tactile and easy to master'. Of charming period appearance, the Coupe comes complete with spare wheel and running-board mounted fuel can.
- Rare Black Weymann fabric-covered coachwork and Riviera specification - Reportedly treated to 'an extensive nut and bolt restoration' - 1185cc four-cylinder engine and three-speed manual transmission Further Info: This rare and immaculate Rover 10/25 features Black Weymann fabric-covered coachwork that's complemented by Red leather seating, eye-catching Red/Grey check side panelling and door cards, and Brown carpets, and the car rides on Red artillery wheels. A `Riviera' model that would have originally been priced at £250, this delightful Rover benefits from a full-length sunroof as well as folding windscreen and sliding windows on all four doors. Recently imported from Dublin, the Rover is said to have been the subject of `an extensive nut and bold restoration' and currently appears to want for nothing. It bristles with such charming period features as a capacious rear trunk, running-board mounted fuel can, mellow klaxon and Viking radiator mascot. The vendor informs us that the 1185cc four-cylinder engine `starts instantly and pulls surprisingly hard', the three-speed manual gearbox is `sweet and easy to use' and the brakes are `excellent'. A delightful addition to any collection.
- Supplied new to K. Redgrave Esq. of Belgravia as a Thrupp & Maberly Drophead Coupe - Engineer owned since 1981 and extensively restored from a rolling chassis - New ash frame and body copied from another Thrupp & Maberly Drophead Coupe - Original engine overhauled with assistance from Fiennes Engineering - Large history file including copy chassis cards, numerous invoices / bills and photos of the restoration Further info: It is a sobering thought. Had Rolls-Royce not purchased its financially troubled competitor Bentley in 1931, the world would have been denied the Continental, Turbo R, Mulsanne and countless other iconic models subsequently graced with the 'Flying B'. Of particular loss for many, would have been the coachbuilt Derby Bentleys manufactured between 1933 and 1939. Their chassis was derived from an experimental supercharged 2.75-litre Rolls-Royce (codenamed Peregrine) that never saw the light of day, and power came from a redesigned and tuned version of the company's 20/25 engine, initially of 3.5-litres (3669cc). Fed by a pair of SU carburettors, it drove through a four-speed manual gearbox. The suspension was by semi-elliptic springs all-round and braking by servo assisted drums. The newcomer was introduced to the public in the appropriate surroundings of Ascot in the August of 1933, and production of these 3.5-litre cars continued into 1937; by which time 1,191 examples had been produced. The final year's allocation was manufactured alongside the incoming 4.25-litre (4257cc) version that would ultimately supersede the 3.5-litre one. Coachbuilders and body styles were the preserve of the customer and the following are just a few of the carrozzerias engaged to clothe these fine cars: Park Ward, Barker, Vanden Plas, Gurney Nutting, H.J. Mulliner, Hooper, James Young, Arthur Mulliner and, the focus of this particular lot, Thrupp & Maberly. Chassis B7BN came off test on September 3rd 1934 and was delivered to its first owner in February 1935. When discovered at Adams and Oliver by the vendor in 1981, it was effectively without a body - the only related items that could be rescued for reuse were the boot hinges and petrol filler door! So began a 25-year labour of love that resulted in the magnificent Derby Bentley we are now delighted to offer. The first task was to ascertain what type of body had originally been fitted, and chassis records obtained through the RREC quickly established it to be a Drophead Coupe by Thrupp & Maberly. It was evidently to the order made on July 10th 1934 by a K. Redgrave Esq of Belgravia, who took delivery of his sparkling new car on the ensuing February 16th. The records also showed the original registration to have been 'BLA 218', which the DVLA was happily able to reallocate. Coachbuilder Derek Leyshon-James of Hereford had already been earmarked as the man to fashion the new coachwork and, by another stroke of good fortune, was commissioned to work on a Thrupp & Maberly Derby body of exactly the right type, so a ready template was available. Replacements for the many other missing parts were patiently obtained by writing letters, attending autojumbles, scanning the classified columns of Motor Sport etc, and slowly but surely the project came together. The finished article was sprayed in Jaguar Indigo Blue over Peugeot Rhapsodie by a specialist in Shropshire. The trim and carpets were supplied by a neighbour 'he operates from his garden shed and does such excellent work you have to book him a year ahead'! The rechroming was carried out by Derby Plating and the new toughened glass supplied by Romans of Hereford. Both the engine and gearbox were overhauled (the former with help from Fiennes) and much restorative work carried out on the suspension and front axle. A new fuel tank has recently been installed by Fiennes, along with an uprated clutch. A new suitably caring keeper is now sought for this wonderful period Bentley as, despite all the work he has painstakingly carried out over the years, the vendor (a retired Sales Engineer) reluctantly accepts he is no longer of an age to enjoy B7BN to the full.
- Current ownership since 1988 and MOT'd into March 2016 - Engine overhauled c.2002 and stainless steel exhaust fitted - Offered with history file and Jaguar Heritage certificate Further Info: The manual transmission 3.4-litre MKII on offer was first registered in June 1965. Once Maroon in colour, it is these days finished in Red and trimmed in Beige leather that's teamed with Beige carpets. According to the V5C, the Jaguar has only had four keepers to date, the most recent of whom has retained it since 1988, and for some years used it for club runs etc. He informs us that the clutch and bell-housing were replaced in 1990 and that the nearside door sills have been refurbished and the engine overhauled in 2002. More recent activity has included the overhauling of the brake system, and replacement of the petrol tank, roof lining, carpets and front door cards. The vendor now views the Jaguar's bodywork and XK engine as 'very good' and the paintwork, interior trim and four-speed manual transmission with overdrive as 'good'. 'CBX 714C' is being sold complete with history file, heritage certificate and an MOT to March 26 2016.
