1953 Bentley Special, 4,566cc. Registration number 127 UM. Chassis number B221UL. Engine number B110U. Sold with the V5C, receipt from Dr Denham, receipts for the wheels/tyres, and other literature. Although Rolls-Royce's acquisition of Bentley Motors in 1931 robbed the latter of its independence, it did at least ensure the survival of the Bentley name. Launched in 1933, the first of what would become known as the 'Derby Bentleys' continued the marque's sporting associations. The 'Silent Sportscar', as it was quickly dubbed, had few peers and as a tireless long-distance tourer, it combining traditional Rolls-Royce refinement with Bentley performance and handling. The Mk VI was introduced in 1946 with a 4 1/4 litre engine, being upgraded to the 4 1/2 litre in 1951. The R Type replaced in in 1952 and ran though to 1955. The chassis could have a body made by Bentley or be coachbuilt, by such firms as Mulliner and Park Ward, some 2323 were built. Chassis B221UL was converted from a saloon at the behest of noted Bentley owner, Dr Alan Denham by Ted Overton in 1991 using a Harry Rose fibreglass tub. It is believed to have been previously owned by an ex Lord Mayor of London. As is usual the engine was moved back ten inches to keep the balance of the car and the cruciform altered to accommodate the new engine mounts. Our vendor bought it in 2008 from Denham and has had the rear axle rebuilt to a 2.92:1 ratio to aid relaxed cruising. He has also added 18" knock on Derby Bentley wire wheels with Blockley tyres. During his tenure it has been used extensively to attend BDC meets, race meets, continental jaunts and days out in the Dales. Since the passing of his wife it has not been used has been transferred to his son who does not have the storage for it. It has been recently recommissioned with a new water pump, a brake overhaul and general fettling. Since the decision has been taken to auction her it has been taken out on many runs and an issue with the coil resolved. When taken to the photography site she drove very well and a video is available of part of the journey. Please note the badges on the front are not included in the auction and the original rear suspension set up is with the car. Sold with the V5C, receipt from Dr Denham, receipts for the wheels/tyres, MOT's from 2006 at 51,814 miles through to 2012 at 53,043 miles, currently it is 54,754 miles and other literature.

1960 BSA Sunbeam Scooter 175cc. Registration number 480 FNN (non transferrable). Frame number 9306B. Engine number S1446 (V5C states 51446). The BSA Sunbeam, also sold as the Triumph Tigress, was a scooter designed to have good performance and handling for the motorcycle enthusiast. The entry of the BSA group into the scooter field was announced by Edward Turner in October 1958. The design by Edward Turner drew on Triumph's long experience of building fast motorcycles, and was sold under two brand names to take advantage of established distribution networks. This badge engineering was one of the last uses of the Sunbeam marque. The differences between the BSA Sunbeam and Triumph Tigress were entirely cosmetic - the former in polychromatic green paint, also two-tone red and cream, with a BSA badge; the latter in a shell blue or mimosa and ivory (two tone) with Triumph badging. The scooter was available with a 250 cc four-stroke twin or 175 cc two-stroke single-cylinder engine. The 250 cc model was discontinued in 1964, the 175 cc model in 1965. FNN, its original number, was first registered to Henstocks of Mansfield on the 29th March 1960 before being sold to Timothy Hickling in the April, he sold it to Melvyn Ward in November 1961 and then Harry Bacon of Sutton in Ashfield in 1967. In 2000 Scooter Club member Robert Kennedy bought it in running order and over the next 12 months fully restored it; he sold it to our vendor to fund a Vespa combination project. There is a 1967 MOT on file. and a You Tube video pre the restoration. In running order she is sold with the V5C, R.F. 60, 1967 MOT and an original Instruction manual.

Victory's were designed to compete directly with Harley-Davidson, with V-twin engines and touring, sport-touring, and cruiser configurations.

UYA is an immaculate example of this machine, initially owned by Martin Brown who serviced it at 2,199 miles in June 2008, the next owner was Michael Court of Leatherhead who sold it to our vendor in 2011 when he lived in Surrey. There is continuous MOT history showing a gentle increase to the last one at 20,228 miles in June 20203.

The small lever on the L/Hand side is not a choke a lot of people think it is. Its a fast idle control used when starting from cold open a small amount.
1975 Ford Escort Mk1, 2 door, 1298cc, project. Registration number HPE 46N. Chassis number BBATPG28001. Engine number TBC. Sold with the V5C. The MkI Ford Escort was introduced in Ireland and the United Kingdom at the end of 1967, making its show debut at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1968.

The suspension consisted of MacPherson strut front suspension and a simple live axle mounted on leaf springs. The Escort was the first small Ford to use rack-and-pinion steering.
