1939 Rover 'Twenty' Tickford Foursome Drophead Coupé Coachwork by Salmons & Sons (Tickford) Registration no. JPA 105 Chassis no. 97118Footnotes:Rover introduced a new rationalised 'P2' range for 1937, the new bodies establishing a look that would stand the company in good stead well into the 1950s. Far from being a disadvantage, this conservatism was just what Rover's typically middle-class customers wanted. At the top of the range sat the 20hp (called the Speed 20 at first) which boasted a new chassis and body and was powered by a 2½-litre overhead-valve straight-six. An expensive prestige automobile, the 'Twenty' was built between 1937 and 1940 but did not resume production after the war, Rover preferring to concentrate on cheaper and more affordable models in an age of austerity.Boasting rare and desirable coachwork, and benefiting from long-term ownership, this 'Twenty' remarkably comes with its original Rover Company Ltd warranty form dated 22nd June 1939. It is unclear when 'JPA 105' passed into the current ownership but we believe it to be in the 1940s. Offered in need of complete restoration and sold strictly as viewed, the car comes with a bill of sale; an original instruction manual; and a pamphlet with instructions for the Tickford Foursome Coupé's hood. At time of cataloguing the current UK V5C registration document had not been found by the estate office. Offered with Bill of Sale.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1939 Rover 'Twenty' Tickford Foursome Drophead Coupé Coachwork by Salmons & Sons (Tickford) Registration no. HPF 443 Chassis no. 971073Footnotes:Introducing the new rationalised 'P2' range for 1937, the new bodies establishing a look that would hold Rover in good stead long into the 1950s, it was just what their typical demographic wanted. At the top of the range sat the 20hp (called the Speed 20 at first) which boasted a new chassis and body and was powered by a 2½-litre overhead-valve straight-six. This was an expensive prestige automobile, the 'Twenty' was built between 1937 and 1940 but did not resume production after the war, as Rover concentrated on more affordable model alternatives. Boasting rare and desirable coachwork, and benefiting from long-term ownership, this 'Twenty' was registered to the current keeper on 16th February 1939, as verified by the DVLA records and substantiated by the estate selling this Lot. Last on the road in the 1960s, the car is offered for complete restoration and sold strictly as viewed, with some parts missing (the engine is incomplete).

1937 Austin Seven Ruby Saloon Registration no. CCG 420 Chassis no. 272440 Engine no. M273605•Long-term previous ownership of 40 years•An older restoration•Restoration bills on file•Said to run and drive exceptionally wellFootnotes:A huge success from the moment deliveries commenced in January 1923, the Austin Seven remained in production until 1939. Simply constructed, economical and easily maintained by the home mechanic, the Seven brought motoring within the financial reach of the man in the street, who hitherto would probably have settled for a motorcycle combination. Its introduction helped save the ailing Austin concern and by the mid-1920s the Seven dominated the light car market in Britain. In essence the Seven changed little in the course of its 17 years in production, retaining the 'A'-frame chassis, transverse front spring, rear quarter elliptics and four-cylinder sidevalve engine to the end. There were, of course, numerous detail improvements along the way, a longer wheelbase, roomier bodies, coupled brakes and a three-bearing crankshaft to name but four. The sole version available when production commenced was the 'Chummy' tourer. Saloon, fabric saloon and coupé models, plus a roomier tourer, were on offer by 1929. One of the first Austin Seven saloons was the 'Top Hat', so called because of its upright, formal-looking, straight-sided coachwork, which was panelled in aluminium to save weight and boasted elaborate cloth interior trim, and unusual feature in a British car at the time. The introduction of the Ruby in 1934 marked an important step in the development of Austin's ever-popular light car. New body styles featured flowing lines, valanced wings and taller, cowled-in radiators; the wheel size was reduced from 19' to 17' diameter, flush-fitting self-cancelling trafficators were fitted and synchromesh was now present on second as well as third and top gears. Alongside the two Ruby saloons in the new-for-1935 range were the Pearl Cabriolet, the Opal two-seater (the first £100 Austin) and the Open Road Tourer. A recent acquisition by the vendor, this Austin Seven comes with numerous bills testifying to considerable expenditure over some 40 years with the previous owner. The Ruby was restored around 20 years ago by a firm in the South of England, with over £11,000 being spent (see bills on file for parts supplied by Holmesdale Sevens). Said to run and drive exceptionally well, the car is offered with an old-style logbook, a V5C Registration Certificate and some old MoTs.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1984 Citroën 2CV Special Saloon Registration no. B167 MBY Chassis no. VF7AZKA00KA075926 Engine no. 0904029402•One of the 20th Century's greatest automobiles•High quality restored by the vendor 2018-2022•Restoration photographic record available•'Concours' conditionFootnotes:'The most intelligent application of minimalism ever to succeed as a car.' - LJK Setright on the Citroën 2CV.Ranking alongside the Volkswagen Beetle, Mini, and Land Rover as one of the classic mass-produced cars of the post-war era, Citroën's quirky 2CV debuted in 1948 and would remain in production for an unprecedented 42 years. The 2CV (two horsepower) had been conceived in the late 1930s by Citroën's Vice-President Pierre Boulanger, who saw France's farming community, many of whom were still using the horse and cart, as an untapped market for such a vehicle. Combining innovative engineering and straightforward, utilitarian bodywork, the 2CV was cheap to both run and maintain. An important attribute, particularly given the target market, was its amazing ability to cross a freshly ploughed field, courtesy of long-travel front/rear inter-connected suspension.Its development interrupted by WW2, the 2CV provided much needed basic transport in the period of post-war austerity and would outlive its humble beginnings, going on to attain cult status as the favoured car of the environmentally concerned motorist. Although the original 375cc air-cooled flat-twin engine grew, eventually, to 602cc, the 2CV's performance remained modest at around 70mph flat-out, not that that concerned the majority of its devotees for whom the roomy interior, full-length sunroof and frugal fuel consumption were of far greater importance. The 2CV was built in civilian, military and commercial versions, the latter - a small delivery van - being known as the 'Fourgonette', which was first seen in 1951. It was a sad day for many when the last French-built 2CV left the Levallois factory in 1988, although production continued in Portugal for two more years. By the time production ceased in 1990 around 4 million 2CVs of all types had been made, making it the most successful Citroën of all time. This 2CV Special was totally restored by the vendor over the period 2018-2022 and is described by him as in 'concours' condition throughout. A photographic record of the rebuild is offered with car, which also comes with a V5C document and is MoT'd to July 2023.

Lot 509
1909 Daimler Model TB22 Drophead Registration no. H 6779 Chassis no. To be advised Engine no. To be advised•The oldest known complete Knight-engined Daimler•Known ownership history•Formerly part of the Peter Black Car Museum collection•Present ownership since 1995•Offered for restorationFootnotes:Built in 1909 and bodied by Hewers Car Bodies Ltd of Coventry, 'H 6779' is the oldest known complete example of the Knight sleeve valve-engined Daimler, this form of power unit having been first exhibited by the British manufacturer in September 1908. Indeed, Daimler were so impressed by the Knight engine, its quietness in particular, that they dropped all poppet-valve models at the end of 1908. For 1909 it was sleeve valves only, there being three models in the range: a 22hp four-cylinder and two sixes of 33hp and 56hp respectively (although referred to as of 22hp, the TB22 was closer to 23hp by the RAC Rating).A (copy) V5 document records the year of original registration as 1921, this being shortly after the introduction of the Roads Act of 1920, which required local councils to register all vehicles at the time of licensing and to allocate a separate number to each. (Many vehicles, although in existence for several years in some cases, were only registered for the first time after the Act's passing). 'H 6779' is VCC dated as 1909.This car's early history is uncertain (most of Daimler's records were destroyed during the Blitz) but it seems likely that one of its earliest owners was Mr John Sokell of Driffield, East Yorkshire. Mr Sokell died in 1929 and the Daimler was then laid up, remaining off the road until 1952 when it was offered for sale by the Sokell family and purchased by Mr John Douglas Clayton of Brough, East Yorkshire. Mr Clayton used the Daimler on various rallies for the next few years (note the numerous rally plaques on the bulkhead) before ownership passed to Gordon Fussey of Cottingham, East Yorkshire (1958) and then Peter Black (1964). While forming part of the Peter Black Car Museum's collection, the Daimler featured in the Granada Television series, Lost Empires, broadcast between December 1986 and February 1987. The next known owner was Peter Garner of Cambridgeshire (1994-1995), followed by Brian Moore of Cambridgeshire (1995). The late owner acquired 'H 6779' from Brian Moore in September 1995, adding Great Eastern Rally plaques to the car's already sizeable collection. As presented today, the car is essentially a restoration project (the gearbox is not currently installed but comes with it). It is of great rarity, there being only two other examples known, both of which are in Australia and incomplete. This is the only complete TB22 known, and, as one of Daimler's first Knight-engined models, is of some considerable historical significance. All in all, this is a wonderful restoration project that is certain to reward the fortunate next owner with a truly magnificent Edwardian motor car.

1957 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible with Hardtop Registration no. not registered Chassis no. E57S101475 Engine no. to be advised•283ci (4.6-litre) V8 engine•An older restoration•Stored since acquisition in 2008•Requires re-commissioningFootnotes:Back in 1953, Chevrolet's launch of a two-seater sports car was a radical departure for a marque hitherto associated almost exclusively with sensible family transport. Based on the 1952 EX-122 show car, the Corvette made use of existing GM running gear and a shortened chassis frame, around which was wrapped striking Harley Earl-styled glassfibre coachwork. Motive power came from Chevrolet's 235.5ci (3.8-litre) overhead-valve straight six and, unusually for a sports car, there was automatic transmission, a feature that attracted much adverse criticism at the time. Intended as competition for the T-Series MG, the Corvette cost way above the target figure, ending up in Jaguar XK120 territory but with an inferior performance. Sales were sluggish initially and the model came close to being axed, surviving thanks to Chevrolet's need to compete with Ford's Thunderbird. A V8 engine for 1955 and a radical re-style for '56 consolidated the 'Vette's position in the market. By this time, Corvettes had begun to establish an enviable competition record for the marque. Corvette Chief Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov was a big fan of auto racing and it was he that was responsible for unlocking the car's innate potential and developing it into a genuine race-winner. These racing successes repaid Chevrolet's investment with interest: Corvette sales improved significantly, ensuring the car's survival and enabling it to go on to become the world's best-selling and longest-lived sports car. This Corvette convertible dates from 1957, the year that the 283ci (4,639cc) V8 engine was standardised, replacing the old 265ci unit. Fuel injection became optional for '57 and a four speed manual transmission was available from April of that year. Chevrolet's advertising made much of the fact that in its ultimate specification the fuel-injected Corvette produced 283bhp, or one horsepower for every cubic inch, making it the first production engine to do so. This particular 'Vette was ordered with the three-speed manual transmission and optional heater.The current vendor purchased the car from ProTeam Corvette Sales of Napoleon, Ohio in May 2008. At that time the car was described as a matching numbers example benefiting from a body-on restoration with 'beautiful new paint, interior, top, chrome, and stainless exhaust', sadly no bills are on file for this work. A copy of the advertisement is on file and the car also comes with the 2007 bill of sale, a copy of the old Ohio Certificate of Title, and sales/shipping paperwork. Stored since acquisition, the Corvette will require re-commissioning before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed.

1973 Jaguar E-type Series III Roadster Registration no. VGU 328M Chassis no. 1S 2459BW Engine no. 7S 12022 SA•UK delivered right-hand drive model•Automatic transmission•Present ownership since 1998•Stored and used sparingly•Requires re-commissioningFootnotes:One consequence of the E-Type's long process of development had been a gradual increase in weight, but a good measure of the concomitant loss of performance was restored in 1971 with the arrival of what would be the final version - the Series III V12. Weighing only 80lb more than the cast-iron-block 4.2-litre XK six, the new all-alloy, 5.3-litre, overhead-camshaft V12 produced 272bhp, an output good enough for a top speed comfortably in excess of 140mph. Further good news was that the 0-100mph time of around 16 seconds made the V12 the fastest-accelerating E-Type ever. Other mechanical changes beneath the Series III's more aggressive looking exterior included ventilated front disc brakes, anti-dive front suspension, Lucas transistorised ignition and Adwest power-assisted steering, while automatic transmission was one of the more popular options on what was now more of a luxury Grand Tourer than out-and-out sports car. Flared wheelarches, a deeper radiator air intake complete with grille, and a four-pipe exhaust system distinguished the Series 3 from its six-cylinder forbears, plus, of course, that all-important 'V12' boot badge. The interior though, remained traditional Jaguar. Built in two-seat roadster and '2+2' coupé versions, both of which used the long-wheelbase floor pan introduced on the Series II '2+2', the Series III E-Type continued the Jaguar tradition of offering a level of performance and luxury unrivalled at the price. Its accompanying JDHT Certificate confirms that this E-Type Series III Roadster was manufactured on 3rd October 1973 and despatched through Henlys, London on 24th October that same year. The car was first registered on 29th March 1974 and has belonged to the lady vendor since September 1998 (the current V5C states three former keepers). Since acquisition the E-Type has spent most of the time in storage as the owner has been living abroad. Mileage totals recorded on MoTs in 1998, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2019 confirm only 9,870 miles on the odometer with no use in between. The last MoT expired on 3rd December 2020. Also on file are various bills and receipts for general upkeep between 1990 and 2017. The car is now offered for re-commissioning and will require thorough inspection before being driven on the road.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1960 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE 'Ponton' Cabriolet Registration no. 773 DLB Chassis no. 128030-20-003136 Engine no. 127982-20-000577•Rare UK right-hand drive example•Known ownership history•Partially restored•Offered for completionFootnotes:This classic Mercedes-Benz soft-top is a rare original UK right-hand drive example first registered on 20th May 1960 to the famous writer and composer of pop music and musicals, Lionel Bart (of Oliver! fame). A photocopy of the original logbook is in the history file, also showing the original registration number to be 'LB 4'. Various photographs are available on the Internet (Shutterstock) showing Mr Bart in the Mercedes at his then London address of Reece Mews, as per the logbook. Mr Bart owned the car for almost two years before it was registered to furniture manufacturers Parker Knoll in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. Four further owners are listed before Mr Graham Ellis, who is also recorded as owner on the old V5C document on file. The current registered keeper purchased the Mercedes in October 2008 as a 'barn find'. The car has since undergone a restoration costing £87,600 by RetroMarques of Strensham and Tony Williams Bodyshop in Malvern, Worcestershire (all invoices on file). It comes as a fully painted bodyshell in its original Mercedes Blue, and is rolling on its wheels. All other components have been photographed as a catalogue/inventory. The engine and gearbox have been stripped and inspected only. Both will require rebuilding. A brand new windscreen is present. All chrome that was in fair condition was sent away for repair and re-plating. Various other parts were bought new from Niemoeller in Germany and everything should be present and correct. The hood frame has been repaired and is complete.NB: there is no wooden dashboard present and they are no longer available to purchase. During restoration RetroMarques had another RHD vehicle as a reference and had a 3D laser scan taken of the dashboard in order that the new owner/restorer can have an exact replica manufactured.

1934 Triumph Gloria 10hp Sports Tourer Registration no. AER 492 Chassis no. 42277 Engine no. SS98306•Landmark Triumph sporting car•Developed by Donald Healey•Only four owners from new•Off the road 1968-2014•Restored in 2014Footnotes:Developed by the great Donald Healey, the Gloria, more than any other model, established Triumph's reputation as a builder of fine sporting cars; taking its name – it is said – from one of Selfridge's fashion models, who was photographed with the cars for publicity purposes. Standard-Triumph's managing director, Colonel Claude Holbrook, wanted to move the company away from the small cars that had underpinned its success in the 1920s, aiming to take a slice of the medium-size sporting-car market dominated by Riley. Indeed, ex-Riley employees would be instrumental in the Gloria project, designer Charles Ridley having been recruited from them, as was Donald Healey. Healey was quoted as saying: 'I was attracted by the Gloria project, which seemed better than Riley's own Nine... My first job was cleaning up the Gloria range, which was just about ready for production.' Introduced in 1933, the Gloria employed a conventional cruciform-braced chassis, under-slung at the rear and equipped with all-round 12' hydraulic brakes, on which was mounted low, streamlined coachwork of an elegance not previously associated with the marque. According to Holbrook, the Gloria was 'built to an idea... modern in conception, revealing lines that never before been achieved'. And few would deny that, once it had been 'cleaned up' by Healey, the Gloria was indeed most handsome. The four- and six-cylinder IOE engines were built by Triumph to designs by Coventry Climax, who supplied the raw castings, while the four-speed synchromesh gearbox and spiral bevel rear axle were supplied by ENV. In tuned guise fitted with twin carburettors, the 10hp 1,087cc inlet-over-exhaust four produced 46bhp at 4,600rpm; thus equipped, the Gloria Special Tourer was good for 75mph.This rare British sports car is understood to have had only four owners and had been off the road since 1968 when it was restored in 2014 at a cost of around £12,000. Related bills are on file. Described by the vendor as in good restored condition throughout, the car also comes with old logbooks; a current V5C document; a selection of photographs; instruction manuals; and a document of verification from the Pre-1940 Triumph Club.

1967 MG Midget Mark III Roadster Registration no. PLB 425E Chassis no. GAN4 4203Footnotes:An MG with its origins in the 'frog-eyed' Austin-Healey Sprite, the Midget first appeared in July 1961, one month after the launch of its restyled progenitor, sharing the same bodyshell and mechanical underpinnings with only badges, trim details and price differentiating the two. A series of engine enlargements saw the Midget arrive at 1,275cc in the form of the Mark III - code 'GAN4'. Introduced in 1966, the latter employed a de-tuned (to 65bhp) version of the 1,275cc Cooper S engine while offering significantly enhanced practicality courtesy of new convertible hood. Testing a Mark III Midget, Autocar declared: '... it remains an excellent little car which certainly achieves its primary object – that of being fun to drive'.Offering the prospect of easily affordable entry into the world of classic sports car ownership, the Midget is one of the easiest to run and maintain, being served by a multitude of spare parts manufacturers, service providers and owners' clubs. This Mark III was first registered in June 1967 and is now finished in red with black interior. The hood and frame appear to be in good condition, the paint good to fair, and the chrome good. Note the Minilite-style wheels. Overall the car is described by the vendor as 'tidy' looking and is running well. Works recently carried out have included fitting the correct type gearbox, new rear springs, new flexible brake pipes, and a new clutch kit. Offered with a V5C Registration Certificate.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1934 Riley 1½-Litre 12hp Lynx Tourer Project Registration no. AXT 16 (see text) Chassis no. 44T 1121 Engine no. 44T 1121•Relatively rare six-cylinder Riley•Recent barn discovery•Off the road for many years•Offered for restorationFootnotes:Hailed as 'The Wonder Car Plus Two', the first 14hp, 1.6-litre six-cylinder models duly appeared in 1929 followed by 12hp, 1.5-litre versions in 1933. Riley's 1,633cc, 13.5hp engine was also offered in this chassis, which was built in two different wheelbase lengths (110.3' and 113.5') and was available with a wide variety of bodies in different styles including the Alpine, Kestrel and Mentone saloons, Lincock coupé, Ascot drophead coupé, Lynx tourer and March Special.A recent barn discovery, this 12hp Riley six with Lynx 'disappearing hood' tourer coachwork was first registered on 27th March 1934 and spent its early years in Surrey and Essex. Latterly the car was discovered in a dilapidated garage near Axminster, having been registered to an owner in Lyme Regis in the 1980s. The Riley requires total restoration; there are boxes of parts with the car but it is not known whether or not it is complete. The hood frame is present but has no canvas, and it should be noted that the engine does not turn over. There is no V5C Registration Certificate with the car, the only documentation consisting of an old-style buff logbook; an old MoT from Maple Garage, Ilford (1963); and a Riley Register member's card. Sold strictly as viewed, this Lynx tourer represents a wonderful opportunity to restore one of Riley's class-leading 1½-litre six-cylinder sports cars of the 1930s. It should be noted that the registration 'AXT 16' is not recorded in either the HPI or DVLA databases. Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to this car's registration status prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1936 Rolls-Royce 25/30hp Estate Coach Registration no. CYX 777 Chassis no. GHL 4 Engine no. to be advised•Body believed to be by Fuller's of Bath•Originally built for a horse-drawn vehicle used on Lord Methuen's estate•Fitted to this chassis in the 1980s•Laid up in recent yearsFootnotes:A development of the earlier Twenty, the first 'small' Rolls-Royce, the 20/25hp was launched in 1929 featuring an enlarged (from 3,127 to 3,699cc) and more-powerful cross-flow version of the six-cylinder, overhead-valve engine of its predecessor. Apart from the revised engine, early chassis were identical to those of the last 20s, both models being produced during 1929. Thus the 20/25 inherited the righthand gearchange and servo-assisted brakes introduced on its predecessor, as well as Phantom-style radiator shutters. Produced contemporaneously with the Phantom II, the 20/25 benefited from many of the features, such as synchromesh gears and centralised chassis lubrication, developed for the larger model.Eventually, the trend towards increasingly weighty coachwork prompted Rolls-Royce to revise the 20/25 for 1936. Raising engine capacity to 4,257cc provided the required power increase, while the policy of using more proprietary components saw the new 25/30 adopt a Stromberg carburettor and SU fuel pumps. In its superlative build quality and all other respects the new Rolls-Royce remained much as its immediate predecessor. The model lasted until the introduction of the Wraith in 1939.Believed to be by long-established carriage makers, Fuller's of Bath, this 25/30's coach bodywork is said to have been found on Lord Methuen's estate in Corsham, Wiltshire. Originally built for a horse-drawn vehicle, the body was used exclusively on the estate as the estate coach. Later found derelict on the estate, the body was acquired by Shaw Classic Cars of Melksham, Wiltshire and fitted to the 25/30 chassis in the 1980s for it to be used for their wedding hire business. Parts from a Silver Ghost have been used including the radiator, while the headlamps are typical of those found on a Ghost. Latterly the car has been used for private hire chauffeur-driven tours of Bath. Laid up in recent years, it was started recently and is said to be offered with an old-style buff logbook and current V5C.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1933 Lagonda 16/80 T5 Tourer Registration no. OJ 9865 Chassis no. S10381 Engine no. S2130• Formerly owned by Sgt Freddie Dixon, Battle of Britain RAF fighter pilot• Previous keeper for 35 years• One of approximately 260 examples produced Footnotes:'Silence and smoothness of running have been combined with performance in the new 16-80 Lagonda to an extent not hitherto achieved in any of these very fine cars. Yet the performance itself is remarkably good, even if judged on maximum speed alone, whilst it is even better from the general point of view if judged on the ability of the car to get under way really briskly...' – The Autocar.Based on the chassis of the preceding, and very short lived, 2-Litre Continental four-cylinder model, whose overall style and good looks it retained, the six-cylinder 16/80 was new for the 1933 season. The 16/80 employed a 1,991cc overhead-valve Crossley engine, reworked by Lagonda to its own specification, and could be ordered with conventional four-speed manual or pre-selector transmission enabling swift and easy changes. Autocar liked Lagonda's new medium-size model (which took its name from its 16hp RAC rating and 80mph top speed) remarking on its silence, smoothness, brisk acceleration, and effortless high-speed cruising. Three body styles were available: a Weymann panelled saloon; a rakish three-door tourer body, with driver's seat cutdown panel as found on racing cars of the era , and a two-seater sport designed by Vanden Plas (but built by Lagonda). Approximately 260 16/80s of all types were made, of which it is believed around half survive. This example was owned at the outbreak of WW2 by Flight Sergeant Freddie Dixon, an RAF pilot based at Croydon who was killed when his Hawker Hurricane was shot down over the English Channel during the Battle of Britain. He was 21 years old. Copies of period photographs of him with the Lagonda are on file together with a letter from a family member. The late owner acquired the Lagonda in April 1987, the previous keeper listed on the V5C document being a Mr Neil Frajbis of Suffolk (as is so often the case, the V5C incorrectly implies that the previous keeper was the first owner). A knowledgeable enthusiast, the late owner maintained the Lagonda impeccably and used it at weekends until advancing years meant he had to stop. For the last 10 years the car has been dry stored with all fluids drained and components greased as they should be. The engine has been rebuilt and the interior replaced (original seat fabric retained and is offered with the lot), and there are numerous bills on file relating to these and other works carried out. Like most old cars, this example will hugely improve with sparing continual use, and its dynamic qualities will be apparent to any post vintage connoisseur.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1963 Daimler 2½-Litre V8 Saloon Registration no. 595 XKJ Chassis no. P1A 1862 BW Engine no. 7A 2013Footnotes:Jaguar's acquisition of Daimler in 1960 brought with it the latter's splendid, lightweight V8 engines. First seen in the SP250 sports car, the 2½-litre version was judged superior to Jaguar's 2.4-litre XK six and so the opportunity arose to create an up-market, Daimler-badged variant of the Mark 2 saloon using this power unit. Launched in 1962 as the 2½-Litre V8, the new Daimler came with Borg Warner automatic transmission as standard and turned out to be a fine performer, its 110mph top speed exceeding that of an overdrive-equipped, 2.4-litre Mark 2 by a wide margin. Finished in light blue metallic with original dark blue leather interior, this 2½-Litre V8 comes with a JDHT Certificate showing that it was despatched on 12th June 1963 to the Stratstone dealership in London, together with its original warranty document in the name of J E Brambleby, Esq of Kent. The vendor advises us that the engine was rebuilt fewer than 2,000 miles ago by The Jag Workshop in London, and that the bodywork is generally good but showing some minor rust patches. Said to start and drive well, the car is MoT'd to August 2023 and comes with its original owner's manual and an extensive history file.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1956 Land Rover Series I 4x4 Military Vehicle Registration no. HVS 447 Chassis no. 111605459•Originally in service with 1st Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment•Veteran of the Suez crisis•2.0-litre petrol engine•Restored in the 1980s•Well known in 'Series' Land Rover circles Footnotes:Built as part of a military contract placed in July 1956, this Land Rover's military registration was '84 BR 09'. It began service with the 1st Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment, 19th Infantry Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division in operation 'Musketeer' (Suez) on 10th November 1956. The operational name for Suez was changed at the last minute from Hamilcar to Musketeer, hence the 'H' painted on the doors (there was not enough time to change the vehicles' markings before the operation began). The 1st Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment was the last unit to leave Suez on 22nd December 1956 after handing over control to the United Nations. The 1st Battalion, along with their vehicles, arrived back at Southampton docks on 2nd January 1957 and returned to their barracks in Colchester. The regiment amalgamated with the 1st Battalion, Prince of Wales' Own Yorkshire Regiment and was based in Dover from 25th April 1958. The 19th Infantry, along with their vehicles, were sent to Cyprus in July 1958 and then to Kenya from July to September 1961.'84 BR 09' was disposed of through a military surplus sale in 1968. Issued with the civilian registration 'HVS 447', it was bought by a farmer from Knapton, Yorkshire who ran it as a farm vehicle for six years before retiring it to a barn. There it sat for 14 years until it was discovered in 1988 by John Banham, who negotiated its purchase and undertook light restoration.The previous owner purchased the Land Rover from John Banham in 2004 but sold it on in 2005 to an ex-Suez veteran, Edwin Robinson, on condition that he would receive 'first refusal' should Mr Robinson ever chose to sell it. He was able to repurchase 'HVS 447' in 2015. This particular vehicle is very well known within Series Land Rover circles having participated in countless shows and road rallies and been featured in numerous magazine articles. It has also been the subject of a military Land Rover feature in James Taylor's book 'Original Land Rover Series I' and been made into a model by Oxford Diecast.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1959 Aston Martin DB Mark III Sports Saloon Coachwork by Tickford Registration no. not registered Chassis no. AM300/3/1733 Engine no. DBA/1465•One of only 551 DB Mark IIIs made•Delivered new to the USA•Stored since acquisition in 2007•Requires re-commissioningFootnotes:Two years after the introduction of the DB2/4 MkII came the DB MkIII, 551 of which, mainly saloons, were made between March 1957 and July 1959. Externally the most obvious change was the adoption of a DB3S-style grille, establishing the 'hallmark' look of subsequent Aston Martins, which had been drawn up by Tickford designer, Bert Thickpenny. The DB Mark III is also notable as the first Aston Martin to feature in a 'James Bond' novel, being driven by '007' in 'Goldfinger'. It was also the last Aston Martin produced with the W O Bentley-era six-cylinder engine.Its accompanying copy guarantee form reveals that chassis number '1733' was retailed by the United States importer Inskip and delivered in September 1959 to its first owner, Roger Merrill, President of Atkins & Merrill Inc of Sudbury, Massachusetts. The car left the Newport Pagnell factory finished in Cardinal Grey with blue-grey Connolly hide interior trim, and was equipped with a locking glove compartment lid. The AMOC Register records the fact that '1733' was still in the USA in 1992. It has a sizeable entry in the Register, which lists numerous outings for the period 1973 to 1987, mainly in speed trials and concours events, while owned by member H Charles Nixon. The current vendor purchased the DB Mark III in August 2007 from Sports & Specialist Cars of Princeton, New Jersey. Accompanying documentation consists of copies of the 2007 bill of sale; sale-related paperwork; old New Jersey Certificate of Title; and the aforementioned copy guarantee form. Stored since acquisition, the car is offered for re-commissioning and sold strictly as viewed.

1910 Humber 16/20 HP Tourer Chassis no. C7292 Engine no. 9154• A rare early survivor of one of Britain's pioneering makes• Delivered new to Argentina• Single ownership for over 35 years• Highly original example•Offered without reserveFootnotes:Founded as a bicycle maker in 1868, Humber diversified into motorcycle manufacture in the 1890s and built its first prototype automobile as early as 1896. The firm had production facilities in Coventry, Beeston and Wolverhampton.The Coventry-built Humber 16hp offered here is believed to date from 1910. The year of production is supported by a date cast in the engine block: 'June 22 – '10', while Humber catalogues on file show a near perfect resemblance with the 16hp model introduced in 1909. This particular Humber 16hp is a lengthened version and can accommodate 4/5 passengers in the rear, making it a 6/7 seater. Unlike the standard model, it has 'suicide' doors at the rear.This car was sold new in Buenos Aires, Argentina by Macchi, Pozzi & Riva, the local Humber importers. The original owner was a wealthy man who used the car on his vast estate. The Humber was equipped with a siren and rifle case mounted on the side, supposedly for hunting purposes. Later on it resurfaced in Monticello, New York, registered to a Mary L Briggs, who had its registration renewed in 1951 (document on file). Later, 'The Humber Register' found the car being offered for sale at New York's 'Vintage Car Store' in 1969 (correspondence on file). However, it appears that the Humber only found its next owner, Mr Dean McMinn from Sterling Heights, Michigan, in 1974 having supposedly been in dry storage since the early 1950s. The current owner bought the car on 8th October 1986, directly from Mr McMinn.Part of the previous owner's collection for over 35 years, this 1910 Humber was much enjoyed yet remains in a remarkably original condition. The engine and body are believed to be highly original, as is much of the interior leather. According to 'The Humber Register', 'C7292' would be expected to have an engine numbered at around '9300', and this car's engine is numbered '9154'. The current owner purchased this Humber in Europe and imported to the UK (UK taxes paid), the car has had a NOVA and UK registration applied for.A rare opportunity to acquire a fine automobile from one of Britain's pioneering makes, presented in exceptionally original condition.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
