1959 NSU Prima Scooter Reg.no. RSL 944 Frame no. 235069 Engine no. 2420790 After building the NSU Lambretta for a few years, NSU decided to go it alone with the Prima in 1956, mainly because that the licence with Innocenti expired (Innocenti exercised strict control on export).

Discovered recently in Bristol, this Prima appears in generally good condition and appears to be partly restored, although nothing is known of the mechanical condition. It is sold with a V5C.

Lot 1059
Norton ‘Manx Domi Racer’ Reg.no. Unknown Frame no. Unknown Engine no. Unknown The Norton Manx was made from 1947 to 1962 as a lightly redesigned prewar racing Norton International, an overhead cam single cylinder. The model was fitted with a featherbed frame from 1950 which gave the bike a new lease of racing life as a racing machine, the new frame giving the fine steering necessary for high speed navigation of some very fast racing circuits of the time. Although the last Manx was sold in 1963, new Manx Nortons, built to various specifications are still available to buy new, from various suppliers around the world. Built approximately 15 years ago for classic racing and track days, this bike has never been used and is in ‘as new’ condition. It was built with a Manx frame and a Dominator 500cc twin engine running on ‘R’ racing oil. It has twin Amal carburettors, Lucas electronic ignition, diaphragm clutch and belt primary drive. It is also fitted with a Manx type five gallon aluminium fuel tank and aluminium oil tank, finished in racing Avon tyres and a suede/leather Manx seat. This is a fantastic looking machine that looks every bit the ‘period racer’ that could easily be converted for road use.

1954 James 150cc Reg.no. RDV 203 Frame no. J15590 Engine no. 958A1424 Christopher Gibbens obviously had a passion for motorcycles, but certain manufacturers were clearly favoured.

1947 Excelsior Autobyk 98cc Reg.no. LNU 243 Frame no. A/3187 Engine no. XXA 50766 Excelsior was clearly another favourite of Christopher Gibbens. He collected a number of Excelsior machines and this was obviously a favourite. A quality restoration has been carried out on the bike, and appears finished bar fitting of some pedals.

It also unusually retains its original buff log book, showing just three previous registered keepers, an original brochure and a ‘Running Instructions’ brochure.

Lot 1071
Lambretta Lambro Reg.no. Unknown Chassis no. Unknown Engine no. Unknown Several companies produced three wheeled scooters alongside their more well-known two wheeled versions. The first three wheeled Lambretta is thought to have been produced in 1949. Initially they were designated by their engine size but this soon changed to their load carrying capacity. The Lambro was a very versatile little load carrier and was put to many different uses. This example from the Bristol collection has a truck body that has been removed at some time for restoration. The bodywork is in primer and it all appears sound, although some of the body panels have some repairs required. The condition otherwise is unknown, and it is sold with no documents.

Lot 1072
1963 Wolseley 1500 Saloon Reg.no. 363 UAE Chassis no. WH52 19857 Engine no. 15WDUH4969 The 1500 was Wolseley’s last offering as an individual car manufacturer, as subsequent models were luxury editions on Austin/Morris themes. The 1500 was introduced in 1958 as an attractive and compact 1.5 litre saloon, which essentially was an expanded Morris Minor. A Riley derivative was also available. This example was restored in 2002 to a high standard and there is a Wolseley Register certificate which valued the car at £4,000 – 4,500 at this time. Following this restoration, the car was lovingly cared for and used regularly until spring 2012. Subsequently the car has only been driven once, for an MOT in October, and any remedial works were carried out at this time, for which there is supporting paperwork. We understand that there are no known faults, although a new battery may be required following this period of little use. Estimate: £1,750 – 2,000Bidding is taking place on our sister site i-bidder.com Click here to bid
Lot 1073
1952 Morris Minor 2 door saloon Reg. no. HBK 313 Chassis no. Unknown Engine no. Unknown This early split screen Morris Minor is truly unique and has been very much part of its owner’s life since purchased in 1973 for the princely sum of £20. The car was sprayed purple in 1974, fitted with a 948cc engine and gearbox and also cosmic wheels. In 1975 flames were added to the paintwork, in line with mid 1970’s trends. At this time a Riley 1500cc engine and gearbox was fitted, with Riley brakes and servo. Other additions at this time included a roll bar and sun roof. The result was a very eye catching motor car and in September 1975 it won best of show in Salisbury. In 1980 the Morris was repainted in jupiter red and a 1275cc midget engine and gearbox was fitted, with a single 1 ½” SU carburettor for economy. It then appeared in ‘Rod & Custom’ magazine. Subsequent improvements included the fitting of new front and rear wings and extensive welding where necessary. In 1985 the Morris was laid up for around ten years, following which it was re-commissioned. For daily use on today’s roads a 5-speed Ford gearbox was fitted about 10,000 miles ago, and the car has been a regular mode of transport until 2012. The Morris is MOT’d and currently on SORN. There is a file of bills, a selection of old MOT’s and tax discs sold with the car, in addition to a list of recent works carried out.

Lot 1074
1947/8 Alvis TA14 ‘Woody’ Estate Reg.no. FA 8690 Chassis no. 20772 Engine no. 20772 The Alvis TA14 was a direct descendant of the 12/70 introduced in 1938, which was a George Lanchester design and was good for 80mph despite its weight. Quality was still paramount in the new TA14 with its new 4-cylinder ohv engine of 1892cc. The car offered here carries unusual ‘woody’ coachwork, which requires finishing. It forms part of the Bristol collection and clearly this has been an on-going restoration. It will require re-commissioning and the body finishing, the rear wings have been repainted but are off the car. There are other parts with the car which will assist in the restoration. The buyer will be rewarded with a very good and unusual ‘woody estate’ which will give years of service. It will make an ideal period vehicle for picnics at the Goodwood Revival and similar events. It is sold with a V5, but little is known of its history. Estimate: £4,000 – 6,000 No ReserveBidding is taking place on our sister site i-bidder.com Click here to bid
Lot 1076
Carlite Caravan Reg.no. n/a Chassis no. n/a Engine no. n/a This caravan has been in regular use by the Bristol collector having towed it behind several of his classic estates.

Lot 1077
1932 Wolseley March bodied Hornet Special Reg. no. SM 9551 Chassis no. 576-65 Engine no. 582-65 The Wolseley Hornet was a lightweight saloon car produced from 1930 to 1936 and as Wolseley had been acquired by Morris in 1927, the initial offering was in effect a 2-door Morris Minor saloon fitted with a small six cylinder (1271cc) single overhead cam engine in place of the usual 4-cylinder unit. From 1931 the car was available without the saloon body and was used as the basis for a number of sporting specials. At launch the Wolseley Hornet was the smallest capacity six cylinder car on the British market and while factory models sold well, the motoring public wanted to see a Hornet sports car. By February 1931 at least ten coach building companies were simultaneously producing Hornet Specials. The Hornet Special of 1932-34, of which 2,307 were made, had twin carburettors and higher compression. This truly excellent example has been the subject of a ground up restoration and there is a large history file detailing the work carried out and by which specialist firms. More recent work includes an overhaul of the cylinder head, with larger head studs etc., the exhaust manifolds were vitreous enamelled and the carburettors completely overhauled, with re-bushing and renewal of parts where necessary. The car was also completely rewired approx. 18 months ago. There are a number of spares available by separate negotiation with the vendor, including a block, a cylinder head, con rods, new rocker shafts and a camshaft. This is lovely example of a rare car, being one of only seven March bodied Hornet Specials in existence, that is a past concours winner and will continue to give pleasure to a future owner.

Lot 1078
1966 Austin Mini Cooper Reg. no. HFN 55D Chassis no. CA257831323 Engine no. Unknown Issigonis’ friend John Cooper, owner of the Cooper Car Company, saw the potential of the Mini for competition. Issigonis was initially reluctant to see the Mini in the role of a performance car, but after John Cooper appealed to BMC management the two men collaborated to create the Mini Cooper. This Cooper has Cooper S badged upgrades including twin fuel tanks and servo with large disc brakes. The Mk. II shell houses a 1,275cc engine and we are told that this car is in very good running order. It has a current MOT that expires in October and there are photographs of the restoration of the body.

Lot 1080
1961 Vauxhall PA Cresta Friary Estate Reg.no. 4895 FH Chassis no. PADX151962 Engine no. 152128 The Vauxhall Cresta was first introduced in 1954 as an upmarket version of the Velox. The PA Cresta was probably the most well-known version for mimicking the American fashion for giant tailfins, wrap around windows and whitewall tyres. A PA tested by The Motor in 1958 had a top speed of 89.8 mph and could accelerate from 0-60 mph in 16.8 seconds. All factory built PAs were four-door saloons: the estate cars were converted by Friary of Basingstoke and are rare cars today. The Friary conversion added a one-piece tailgate to the PA Vauxhall, whereas contemporary estate cars had split tailgates. This example was the pride of the Bristol collection and was a regular entry at local shows including Castle Combe. It is in overall good condition, although there are one or two spots of rust showing through the distinctive paintwork. It is MOT’s until March 29th 2013 and received a few advisories at that time. It is sold with sundry paperwork and a V5C. We understand that there are only two previous registered keepers of this car. This is an opportunity to acquire a rare and highly useable classic car.

Lot 1083
1960 Austin-Healey Sprite Mk.I Reg. no. HCC 250 Chassis no. AN5 29579 Engine no. AN5 29579 The Austin Healey-Sprite announced in 1958 was intended to be a low-cost but sporting model. Designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company, it first went on sale at a price of £669, using a mildly tuned version of Austin A-Series engine and many other components from existing cars as possible to keep costs down. The Little Sprite quickly became affectionately known as the ‘Frog-eye’ because its headlights were permanently mounted on top of the bonnet. The car’s designers had intended that the headlights could be retracted but cost-cutting led to the flip-up mechanism being deleted. Tested by The Motor in 1958, the car had a top speed of 82.9mph with a recorded 43mpg. This example finished in Old English White is described as in excellent all round condition, and the current owner has meticulously maintained the car during his ten years ownership, covering only 1,500 miles. Previous works carried out include a replacement cylinder head for unleaded fuel. This Sprite has a copy of its original sale and warranty in 1960, a heritage certificate, a member’s handbook, a workshop manual, service records and 14 years of continuous MOT’s. It is MOT’d until September 2013. Estimate: £12,000 – 14,000Bidding is taking place on our sister site i-bidder.com Click here to bid

II Zodiac arrived on the scene in the latter part of the 1950’s with new bodywork, improved styling and a choice of engine size of 4 and 6 cylinders from 1703 to 2553cc. This is the second desirable estate conversion from the Bristol collection, with original upholstery. Last MOT’d in 2011, this car has not been started recently and will require some re-commissioning following a period of storage, in particular the brakes will need some attention. It is sold with a selection of old MOT’s and current V5c. Estimate: £8,000 – 10,000 No ReserveBidding is taking place on our sister site i-bidder.com Click here to bid

RA253-1171124A Engine no. 99H-141-H16561 Built as a more luxurious version of the Mini, the Riley Elf had longer, slightly finned rear wings and a larger boot that gave the car a more traditional design. Nearly 31,000 Elfs were built before production ceased in late 1969 when British Leyland decided not to use the Riley brand name anymore. This example is in running condition and has been an on-going restoration over several years. The rear sub frame has been replaced as have wheel cylinders, clutch master cylinder and the brake master cylinder. The ‘A’ post and brake shoes have also been replaced.

They were roomy cars endowed with a good turn of speed and were what the market wanted at that time. This car is in estate form having the Abbots of Farnham conversion and retains its original trim. Also from the Bristol collection, we understand that the car has been in current ownership since 1988. The engine is currently out of the car, and is dismantled.

It is sold as seen and deserves a return to the road. Estimate: £4,000 – 6,000 No ReserveBidding is taking place on our sister site i-bidder.com Click here to bid

1986 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit Reg.no. UDZ 4905 Chassis no. SCAZS0009GCH16447 Engine no. 16447 The Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, introduced by Rolls-Royce in 1980, was the first of a new generation of models for the company, but was not an entirely new model, as it shared the basic floor plan of the Silver Shadow, as well as that car’s 6.75 litre V8 engine. This example has formed part of a local wedding car fleet and now requires some improvements to the body in order to bring the car back up to standard. A very luxurious motor car that represent excellent value for money and is MOT’s until August. Estimate: £2,000 – 3,000Bidding is taking place on our sister site i-bidder.com Click here to bid
Lot 1093
1949 Land Rover 80” ‘Timewarp’ Reg.no. GHR 124 Chassis no. R06102798 Engine no. 06105025 The Inspiration for the Land Rover came from an idea by Maurice Wilks in 1947. He owned a farm and used an American Jeep as a practical demonstration of what a four wheel drive could achieve with various modifications. This evolved into the vehicle that was launched at the Amsterdam motor show in 1948 with great interest. The Land Rover boasted several innovations including lightweight bodywork called ‘Birmabright’. This had the advantage of being entirely rust free. The engine capacity was small but the vehicle had tremendous pulling ability. This ‘time warp’ example was made in the first full year of production and has never been apart or restored. The current owner has owned this ‘lights behind the grill’ vehicle for thirty years and has formed part of a private collection ever since. This is a Wiltshire vehicle that was supplied to a dealer in Salisbury; a plaque on the dashboard supports this. The previous owner rebuilt the engine in the early 1980’s and it is believed to have covered less than 500 miles since. The engine runs beautifully and some recent re-commissioning work has been carried out including new brake master cylinder. It is now taxed and MOT’d (expires January 2014). The mileage is 21,434, which is likely to be genuine. Such unmolested 80” Land Rovers are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

1946 Sunbeam Talbot 90 Saloon Reg.no. EP 9394 Chassis no. 480200 Engine no. 7944918 In 1935 the Rootes group purchased assets of both the Sunbeam and Talbot businesses. Existing British Talbots were re-badged as Sunbeam-Talbots form 1938 onwards and were a combination of current Hillman and Humber chassis and quality Talbot coachwork. One of the first models produced was the Sunbeam-Talbot 10. This was launched in August 1938 and was an upgrade from the previous Talbot Ten. Rootes were relatively quick in reintroducing their models after the war, though the cars delivered during the first couple of years followed the deigns first seen in 1939. This Sunbeam-Talbot forms part of the Bristol collection and has been in the process of being re-upholstered by its late owner. This he nearly completed in cream leather. The mechanicals are an unknown quantity as it has stood for a number of years. There is an engine/gearbox unit sold with this car, which is also in unknown condition. It has a V5C although there is no history sold with the vehicle. Estimate: £4,000 – 6,000 No ReserveBidding is taking place on our sister site i-bidder.com Click here to bid

1979 Fiat 124 Spider Sport Reg.no. WWL 531T Chassis no. 124C520147663 Engine no. 132C2031 The Alfa Romeo Spider was produced from 1966 to 1993 and is widely regarded as a design classic, remaining in production for almost three decades with only minor aesthetic and mechanical changes. Imported in 1994 this was one of only 100 examples converted to right hand drive by a UK specialist. Its 2-litre engine was rebuilt recently along with the gearbox and the car has been used very little ever since. Other recent work includes the brakes which have been stripped and overhauled, in addition to two new rear tyres fitted. It is now MOT’d until February 2014 and ready for the road.

1966 Jaguar E-type 4.2 litre Fixed Head Coupe Reg.no. GFX 78D Chassis no. J661E32545 Engine no. 7E7675-9 One can only marvel at the E-types instant success as it exploded onto the motoring scene some fifty years ago. The E-type is a thing of beauty from all angles with a top speed of 150mph and this made it an instant icon. This car started life and spent 23 years in California hence the overall condition is excellent. It was imported into the UK in October 1989 and up to this date the car had only one owner. We understand that the car was fully refurbished at this time. The current owner purchased the car in 1997 and he has lavished attention on her where required. It is in very good overall condition with a new clutch and no known faults. Currently MOT’d it is sold with a V5C and is ready for the road.
