1907 Rover 6hp Two-SeaterRegistration no. AJ 498Chassis no. 1524•First owned by Sir Francis Samuelson•Sympathetically restored•Complete provenance Footnotes:'AJ 498' was purchased for Sir Francis Samuelson by his father as a Christmas present in 1907. In 1908 he set out to tour France in the Rover, recording the events in a diary that gives a fascinating insight into what motoring was like in those pioneering days. He replaced the car in 1909 with a similar model, and at that point began his successful motor racing career. A four-page article covering his career features in the April 1963 edition of Motor Sport magazine (copy on file). Sir Francis lost track of his car, but in 1950 saw an advertisement in Autocar magazine for a Rover and wrote to the seller (reply on file). He agreed to purchase the car, which had a few features he recognised, and the local vehicle licensing office confirmed that he had indeed bought back his Christmas present from 1907! Sir Francis kept the car until his death in 1981 when it passed to his son, from whom it was purchased by the immediately preceding owner, who went on to carry out a sympathetic restoration. The current enthusiast owner purchased the Rover at Bonhams' Beaulieu sale in September 2017 (Lot 563) and has used it sparingly since, preferring his Vintage Bentley. Offered with a substantial history file, this charming early Rover is ideal for Veteran Car Cub events, the popular 'Creepy Crawly' in particular.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Formerly the property of the late Sir John Briscoe1909 Cooper 22.5hp Torpedo TourerRegistration no. BM 1153Chassis no. 2 •The sole survivor of only six made•Unique four-cylinder two-stroke engine•An older restoration benefiting from subsequent refurbishment•Offered from long-term museum display Footnotes:'However, the idea of making motorcars appealed to (Thomas) Cooper, and he designed a 2-cylinder 2-stroke piston-valve engine which he fitted to a car in 1909. It had chain drive to the gearbox and further chain drive to the rear wheels. The production Cooper, which was ready for the 1909 Olympia Show, had a 3260cc 4-cylinder engine, also a 2-stroke with piston valves, shaft drive to the 3-speed gearbox and to the rear wheels. An auxiliary gearbox close to the rear axle gave a total of six forward gears. Only six Coopers were made, each differing in detail from the other.' – The Beaulieu Encyclopedia of the Automobile, Volume 1. The Cooper motorcar was manufactured by the Cooper Steam Digger Co Ltd of King's Lynn, Norfolk, makers of agricultural machinery and traction engines. Its most notable feature is the engine; nowadays we tend to think of the two-stroke engine as a model of simplicity (in its most basic form the single-cylinder 'stroker' has only three moving parts) yet that of the Cooper is breathtakingly complex, featuring two crankshafts and 12 pistons! Of the six cars built, this is the sole survivor. From 1951, the Cooper belonged to the late Sir John Briscoe, who wrote an article about this rarity for the Veteran Car Club Gazette's spring 1955 edition as part of the 'Historic Cars Owned by Members' series (copy available). Looking for a Veteran to restore, Sir John had discovered the Cooper as a 'barn find' at a Suffolk garage. It had last moved in 1921. 'BM 1153' was first registered on 26th November 1909 to Mr Charles Alington of Little Barford, near St Neots, whose mother was a family friend of one of Cooper's directors, W M Pryor. In fact, all six Coopers went to a director or a director's friend. The Alington car was illustrated in The Autocar of February 19th 1910 and was described as having 'A distinctive flush-sided body... by Messrs Maythorn and Son of Biggleswade... four seated and finished in dark green fine lined cream'. Cooper's tester, a Mr Spooner, later recalled that this car was the company's demonstrator at the Olympia Show. Sir John Briscoe states: 'The process of restoration has encountered the usual vicissitudes, from dead mice jammed in the water system to a broken web in the crankcase. ...almost a complete strip of the car was required. As a result, the process of restoration has been fairly lengthy, since I have tried to do everything possible myself (including painting and dealing with corrosion in the body)... The car is in its original condition except for the carburettor, which was originally a Craven but is now a Zenith of late Edwardian type, the side lamps, windscreen, tyres and paint.'In another article entitled 'Driving a Cooper', Sir John states: 'Probably the most satisfying drive of all: the first, to meet the sons of the manufacturer Messrs George and Arthur Cooper.' In fact, when told that Sir John would be visiting them in the Cooper, the brothers had remarked that it would probably break down on the way! It did not. Circa 1992, the Cooper was sold to Sir John's son Sir James Briscoe and in 1994 was inherited by his widow (the current vendor). For many years the car has been in the care of SKF Cooper Bearings of King's Lynn (an offshoot of the original Cooper company). It was last driven in 2014 and has been on museum display at Cooper's since then. Recent refurbishment has included installing new camshaft and crankshaft gears and overhauling the rear axle, these works being undertaken around 2010. The Cooper is finished in its original colour scheme of dark green with cream coachlines, and retains its original deep-buttoned green leather interior. Other notable features include beautiful Bleriot headlamps; a Stewart speedometer; fold-flat windscreen; and a Gabriel nickel-plated 'boa constrictor' horn. A wonderful opportunity to acquire a unique Edwardian motorcar of quite exceptional technological interest.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Old Stormalong1939 Brough Superior SS100Registration no. GWB 985Chassis no. M1/2161Engine no. BS/X21094Footnotes:Legendary superbike of motorcycling's between-the-wars 'Golden Age', this Brough Superior SS100, registration 'GWB 985', is one of seven supplied new as motorcycle combinations to the Sheffield Police on 6th September 1939. Following 'demobilisation' from the police force, the Brough combination passed through various hands as family transport. The date stamp for the first recorded owner in the accompanying continuation logbook is 23rd October 1947. Four owners are recorded before the immediately preceding owner, Bill Starling, the last of these being the well-known motorcycling journalist and author, John Griffith.Mr Starling purchased 'GWB 985' in December 1972 from Ronald H Clark, author of Brough Superior - the Rolls Royce of Motor Cycles (his name does not appear in the logbook and it seems he used the SS100 with the numberplates of his SS80 attached). Ronald Clark's motorcycling memories were published in the VMCC Journal for April 1979. He recalls buying the Brough from John Griffith, and a subsequent journey from his home in Norfolk to Inverness. This SS100 is also mentioned in the Super Profile book of the Brough Superior SS100 by Colin Simms. An interview with Ronald is published under the heading Owner's View, in which he records that 'GWB 985' went to a great friend (Bill Starling).'Old Stormalong' took part in the Brough Club's 50th Anniversary Rally and appears in the book of the rally as one of the very few machines pictured in action rather than static on the rally field. 'GWB 985 is also pictured in The Classic Motor Cycle's August 2008 edition during the VMCC's Round Norfolk Run, and in the VMCC Journal for January 2011, again on a VMCC run. 'Old Stormalong' has featured frequently over the years in the Brough Club's monthly newsletter in Bill Starling's regular column, The Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow . Other awards include the best 'MX100' ridden to the 2009 Brough Club Annual Rally, and the Don Morley Trophy for the best 'MX100' at the 2010 Annual Rally. The Works Record Card confirms that frame 'M1/2161' and engine 'BS/X2 1094' are original; however, it records the gearbox number as 'IN 27785'. When purchased by Bill Starling, gearbox number 'IN 27801' was installed. This is believed to have come from another machine in the same batch of Sheffield Police SS100s. The Works Record Card also confirms that 'outside handlebar controls' were fitted: drum-type twist-grip, lever control for the ignition, and an outside front brake lever (as for the clutch). These are all still in place. The rear numberplate is the genuine, alloy Brough item, while also original are the flared front mudguard and the hinged rear mudguard. Chassis number '2.19' in the works' records, the sidecar had been removed before Ronald Clark's ownership but has since been reacquired. It is fitted with a Brough Superior Cruiser body, replacing the original - and less elegant - special police body, and has a BSA front wheel hub with single-sided 8' brake. The vendor re-fitted the sidecar to the Brough with the intention of riding it to Damascus with Ant Cazelet for company – their intent being to retrace the steps of Brough-owning Lawrence of Arabia – only for the ongoing Syrian civil war to scupper the project. Included in the sale and available for collection by the successful purchaser, the 'chair' has been detached from 'Old Stormalong' but comes complete with all fittings and a comprehensive set of photographs (on CD) showing how it is fitted.When purchased by Bill Starling, the Brough was working but worn. It had limited use for a few years and was then stored for some time. Eventually, Bill's father re-commissioned the machine and returned it to him early in 1982. Around 2,000 miles were covered between then and June 1985. Some minor work was then required, which the responsibilities of part-time farming and full-time employment did not leave time for. 'Old Stormalong' went into retirement until, early in 2000, it was delivered to the workshop of expert restorer Charlie Smith of Northampton (now retired) where over the next year it underwent a thorough restoration under the supervision of Howard Wilcox, well known in the Brough Club for his expertise in all marque-related matters. As well as a full engine rebuild, the restoration included a new fuel tank supplied by Tim Ball of Superior Engineering, plus a new saddle cover and toolbox fronts; these had been obtained, many years previously, from the late Albert Wallis, long-standing and much respected Brough Club member. A small, modern battery was fitted inside an original battery case, and the carburettor body bored out and re-sleeved, dramatically improving the starting, slow running, and fuel consumption. In May 2001, 'Old Stormalong' demonstrated its renewed health and vigour with a run of 123 miles back to Norfolk. Enhancing reliability, a solid-state voltage regulator from A O Services of Watton was fitted in April 2008. A further 9,000-or-so miles had been covered, many of them on Brough Club and VMCC events, by the time the SS100 was sold to the current vendor in 2012. Since then it has been stored in air-conditioned comfort, professionally cared for, and hardly used in the last nine years (the current odometer reading is 11,666 miles).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
