Lot 256
Supplied new by Henlys in late 1934, this well-travelled SS1 is fresh from long-term ownership and appears to only need some light recommissioning.Forerunner of the 'Jaguar' marque, 'SS' originally stood for the Swallow Sidecar & Coachbuilding Company, which had been founded in Blackpool, England by William Walmsley in 1922. The company branched out into motor manufacture in 1926, its first major success being an attractive sports saloon on the Austin Seven chassis. The design was the work of Walmsley's business partner, William Lyons, whose future Jaguar creations would confirm his reputation as one of the British motor industry's most gifted stylists. The SS1, launched in 1932, is a close-coupled coupé based on the Standard Ensign 16hp. The chassis and body were designed by Lyons; a long bonnet, tiny passenger compartment and helmet-type front wings imply the ultimate in high performance of the time and this is what ultimately created a blueprint for Jaguars of the future, combining sporting good looks with a better-than-average specification. Indeed, so successful was Lyons' new venture that production of Swallow-bodied cars ceased altogether in 1933, and SS Cars Limited was formed, initially as a subsidiary of the Swallow sidecar-building business.For 1934 the SS1 gained a new wide-track chassis and slightly enlarged Standard engines of 2,143cc and 2,663cc, while the body - now available in four different configurations - underwent yet another restyle. In this, its final form, the SS1 remained in production until 1936, by which time 2,503 examples of this ultimate version had been made.The final assembly of this Swallow Sports One (SS1) Tourer on to its Standard Motor Company rolling chassis (#245816) was completed on the 17th December 1934 and, as a late 1934 Model, it benefited from a wider track and a synchromesh gearbox. Finished in Birch Grey with a green interior and a green soft top and powered by a 2,663cc 68bhp straight-six. It was despatched to Henlys, registered MG 3624 and onward to a, rather proud we imagine, Mr L Garton of Surrey.Within the history file there is a ‘Buff’ logbook which lists a further four owners, the last one being a Mr Michael Roberts of Huddersfield, who appears to have written a running commentary on the maintenance of the car from 1981 until 1985. The car at this point was painted red, so presumably had been refinished between 1934 and his purchase.There appears to be a small gap in the car’s history until 1994/5 when it was exported to Germany when its keeper is listed as Herr Frederick Rausch of Langscheid. There is a raft of invoices for works completed between then and c.2008 along with some photographs detailing what looks like an engine rebuild. At this point the car carried the registration plate MK 06333. The SS then returned to the UK and joined a large private Collection, where it remained until recently. We are unsure of exactly when the car’s current silver and silver grey two-tone finish was applied, but it still presents well today. The odometer is reading 8,692 miles which we assume is 108,692 but can’t warrant.The lovely period interior is trimmed in Burgundy Leather with Art Deco ‘sunburst’ door cards and sports its original steering wheel and dashboard including the combined 100mph speedometer and 5,000rpm tach. Externally, the car is just what you would hope to find with decent silver/silver grey paintwork, running boards, chrome wire wheels wrapped in Firestone ‘whitewall’ tyres, a fold-down windscreen, big Lucas 165 headlamps and a chrome badge bar with an early AA badge.The SS is supplied with a large A4 history file containing details of previous keepers, old MOTs etc. and, as mentioned earlier, a lot of information from Herr Rausch during his ownership. Having been in storage for several years, the car will require a certain amount of recommissioning and we invite and encourage interested parties to view this lovely 1930s Tourer and form their own opinion.SpecificationMake: SWALLOWModel: SS1Year: 1934Chassis Number: 248516Registration Number: MG 3624Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 248501Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 8692 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Burgundy LeatherClick here for more details and images
Lot 258
Less than 4,400 miles in the last 46 years, four prior keepers and a careful restoration in the past, this is just what you had hoped to find.After having been in the coachbuilding business for four years with a range of special bodies on other manufacturers’ chassis, by 1931 William Lyons and the Swallow Company felt ready to launch their own brand of car. A ‘teaser’ campaign of advertising under the by-line, ‘Wait! – The SS is coming’ ran in the motoring magazines in the period up to the 1931 Motor Show. The new cars were finally unveiled on 9 October 1931.Although still making use of chassis, engines and components supplied by the Standard Company, Lyons’ new cars were very different from the earlier Standard Swallows. There were two models, the six-cylinder SS1 with 16hp or 20hp engines, and the SS2 with a four-cylinder 9hp engine of 1,006cc. The SS1 had a specially designed chassis, while the smaller car used a Standard Little Nine chassis.Both SS2 models had similar styling, with coupé bodies, dummy hood irons on blind rear quarters, and helmet type wings, but the larger car looked more impressive with its immensely long bonnet. A range of striking colour schemes was available for both models. Priced at £310, the SS1 was labelled as ‘the car with the £1,000 look’. The SS2 was even more reasonably priced, at £210, but naturally offered more modest performance, with a top speed of 60mph (96kmh) against the 75mph (120kmh) of its bigger brother.The SS2 was manufactured for two years in this form, and total production during this period was 550 cars. Survivors of this early type are now very rare. At the end of 1933, the Series 2 was introduced with a new longer wheelbase chassis, revised styling with flowing wings and a choice of bigger engines although still Standard side-valve units, of either 1,343cc (10HP) or 1,608cc (12HP). This revised model was also available in Saloon and Tourer form. It continued in production until 1935, and a total of 1,800 SS2 cars of all types were made of which only 154 were Series 2 Coupés.ATT 39 was originally registered on 31st December 1934 finished in Dual Green, according to the original 'Buff' logbook within the car's history file. The later green logbook lists the car as being black so it's assumed that the colour was changed within this period. Also within the file there are 14 old MOT certificates, the oldest being 1977 with the newest being 2007. There are a few invoices for work carried out but not many, however there is a Bill of Sale for ATT 39 in 2012 for the sum of £36,000. Showing 4,377 miles on the odometer, therefore assumed to be 104,377, and interestingly, looking back at the old MOTs, the mileage goes back to 00003 in 1978 and gradually moves forward to its current 4,377 showing that, in reality, the car has covered just 4,374 miles in the last 46 years. We can also see from the file that, prior to our vendors, it has had four keepers from new.Looking at the condition of the car, both internally and externally, it's clear that at some point this SS2 has been carefully restored, which fits with the owner prior to the Collection having paid £36,000 for it just over ten years ago. The car sits really well and the black paintwork and black fabric seem excellent if a bit dusty. The engine bay is tidy and would be enjoyable to detail and bring up to scratch, and the interior is lovely with great red leather seating, 'sunburst' door cards, very good carpets and that classic wooden dashboard with its well presented Jaeger instruments is a delight.A really good example of a rare car which, with a couple of days fettling, could be back on the show circuit.SpecificationMake: SWALLOWModel: SS2Year: 1934Chassis Number: 300486Registration Number: ATT 39Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 300486Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 4377 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Red LeatherClick here for more details and images
Lot 285
A simply stunning 1927 20hp, one of only two bodied by Brewster as a Brougham de Ville and featured in numerous Rolls-Royce publications. Following World War I, Rolls-Royce abandoned the ‘one model’ policy they had previously employed, and sought to expand within the luxury top tier echelons of the motor car industry and in 1922 the all-new 20hp or Twenty was introduced to their lineup alongside the simply fabulous 40/50hp Silver Ghost.The Twenty was built to reflect Henry Royce’s interest in contemporary trends within the American motor car industry, incorporating a singular construction of engine and gearbox, and featuring the modern innovation of a central ball change gearbox and a 'Hotchkiss drive' rear axle. The smooth and silent 3,127cc inline six-cylinder engine benefitted from being Rolls-Royce's first engine with overhead valves. While the car was well received overall, the three-speed, central change transmission was not well liked, so in 1925 the Twenty was reintroduced with four-wheel, servo-assisted brakes and importantly, a four-speed gearbox with a right-hand, gated gearchange.The 20hp was initially produced to target owner-drivers, but many were sold to customers with chauffeurs, somewhat expected with their clientele at the time. Only the chassis and mechanical parts were made by Rolls-Royce with the bodywork created and fitted by a coachbuilder selected by the owner.This, right-hand drive example, was purchased new, in rolling chassis form, on 31st January 1927 by Mrs A L Sylvester, a resident of the Plaza Hotel, New York and shipped to the USA aboard the SS Laconia. GAJ 15 wears unusual Panel Brougham de Ville coachwork by the respected coachbuilder Brewster, a company acquired by Rolls-Royce of America Inc. in December 1925.Presenting in simply fabulous condition, this wonderful example retains its original body and is one of just two built on the 20hp chassis. Credited to Henry Peter, 1st Baron Brougham and Vaux (1778-1868), this style of bodywork is noted for its formal upright and square appearance with a forward curving swage line in front of the rear compartment doors. This style was commonly seen on horse-drawn carriages of the time and, when the motorcar was introduced, many carriage designs were simply adapted by coachbuilders to accommodate an engine at the front as opposed to horses. This formal style is often referred to as a Town Car and would likely have been used for taking the owner(s) to the theatre or opera or other formal occasions. The well presented brightwork is nickel silver, and the style of the vertically striped paintwork is known as Dutch Pink although, in this case, it's undoubtedly red and not pink.Reportedly by Fabergé, the door furniture in the cabin is silver and enamel. The grey cord upholstery is not believed to be original, however, it presents well and the pull-down blinds are silk, albeit expectedly fragile. To confirm the high level of opulence, there is a speaking tube for the passengers to communicate with the chauffeur who sits on black leather seating. The solid artillery wheels present well. GAJ 15 changed hands five times whilst in the USA and was resident in the Powers Automobile Museum in Connecticut in the 1940s and '50s. The car returned to the UK in 1991 and soon after its arrival the engine was stripped and rebuilt before being stored between 2000 and 2005.Within the car's history file there is a list of all its owners in the USA up to and including the immediately preceding owner in the UK. Other documentation includes copies of the original Order Form and Chassis cards, photocopied literature, a quantity of old MOTs and tax discs, copies of previous registration documents, a current V5C and a most impressive quantity of bills for works carried out and parts purchased whilst with previous owners. The car has benefitted from some gentle recommissioning in our vendor's ownership having been purchased from an elderly gentleman who sadly wasn't able to maintain it due to failing health.This exceptional motor car comes complete with tools, jack, hubcap tool, rim lever and special grease gun, etc., all housed under the front seats and has a period-correct, Flying Lady mascot on a correct cap. It also comes with an original instruction book, a full set of keys for ignition, bonnet locks, rear compartment, and the padlocks on the spare wheels and the fuel can. Side-screens for the front compartment are kept in a black bag in the rear compartment. This car is featured in several publications including Rolls-Royce in America by John Webb de Campi; The Rolls-Royce Twenty by John Fasal, and Coachwork on Rolls-Royce by Lawrence Dalton. A die-cast scale model of this particular car has been made by Top Marques of Honiton and an example is included in the sale.With the other car bodied in this style still residing in the USA, and with both examples being owned by the same family in the 1960s, this is a fabulous opportunity to own a very special motor car that epitomises why Rolls-Royce were considered, and remain, the 'Best Car in the World'.SpecificationMake: ROLLS-ROYCEModel: 20HP PANEL BROUGHAM DE VILLEYear: 1927Chassis Number: GAJ15Registration Number: BF 4349Transmission: ManualEngine Number: D5WDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 1 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black/Grey Click here for more details and images
Lot 288
A well restored and delightful example of the 1930s Morris Ten Van featuring a 1275cc A-Series engine.Introduced in 1932, the Morris Ten stole a march on many of its rivals by virtue of its superior Lockheed hydraulic brakes. The 1,292cc four-cylinder side-valve engine drove through a 3-speed gearbox (with synchromesh from 1934 and four speeds optional) and in most respects, the Ten was entirely conventional. It was also extremely successful, helping Morris establish a commanding presence in the increasingly important 10hp market sector particularly in the commercial sector where the Ten van and pick-up trucks were ideal for small businesses and high-street traders.This delightful 1934 example has been with our vendor for the last 18 months and has been used as a rolling billboard for his construction company. The previous keeper owned the van for 9 years, during which time it attended many shows and, as can be seen from the photos won a few awards, showing the quality of its older restoration. Sadly, there is no history file as such or detail of the restoration which we believe was around 12 years ago, and looking around the van nothing was left untouched at that time. The original side-valve powerplant was upgraded to an MG Midget 1,275cc engine which has certainly helped the little Morris keep up with modern traffic and we are told by our vendor that it will happily skip along at 40/45 mph although more than that may be a little optimistic with standard brakes - always remember if you can't stop, AVOID!The fitting of interia reel seat belts further enhances the modern approach to the van and the interior has also not been left behind, with the seating having been refreshed at some point and the door cards up-dated. All in all this is a wonderful little package that could enhance any business and represents a great opportunity to acquire an all up together light commercial van from the 1930s. The very keen estimate of only £10,000 - £12,000 could be some in expensive fun.SpecificationMake: MORRISModel: 10 VANYear: 1934Chassis Number: 34T31778Registration Number: APP 604Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 12V588F/H1639Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 23000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images
