1948 BSA B31 350cc Reg. No.: n/a Frame No.: FB31 3573 Engine No.: XB31 3345 The B31 was introduced in 1945, BSA’s first new model after WWII. Based on pre-war designs, it used a single cylinder four stroke engine that displaced 348cc and used a rigid frame and speedometer in the tank. It developed about 17bhp giving a top speed of around 70mph, adequate enough for the day. It was immediately popular and was soon joined by a 500cc version. This bike is described as in very good condition but doesn’t have any documents or V5. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1964 Ford Consul Cortina Reg. No.: AOB 695B Chassis no. tba Engine No.: tba The Cortina is one of Ford’s best known models and was made for twenty years in various guises. The Cortina from the start was designed to be easy and inexpensive to produce and yet had very distinctive styling. The first cars were branded the Consul Cortina until a modest facelift in 1964 after which it was sold as simply the Cortina. This model is an early Mk.I, with the distinctive elliptical front side-lights. Unfortunately little is known about this example. It forms part of a deceased estate, and the owner had won awards for this car some years ago. Unfortunately in more recent times, the car has been less cared for and was recently removed from its dry storage. It will require total re-commissioning and some restoration.

1928 Hudson Super Six Sedan Reg. No.: SV 4008 Chassis no. 22591 Engine No.: 524868 The Detroit built Hudson took its name from J.I. Hudson, head of Detroit’s famous department store of that name, who provided the finance in creating the company in 1909. Initially they concentrated on 4-cylinder cars, however from late 1913 onwards the company turned its attention solely to building 6-cylinder models. Within three years they could boast that it was the ‘world’s largest manufacturer of six cylinder cars’. The original Super Six was introduced in 1916 and was the mainstay of Hudson’s production for over a decade, until it was replaced in late 1928 by the Special Six. This 1928 example is fitted with the L head 4.8 litre unit, and is clothed in five seater sedan coachwork. Imported in about 1988, this car was then used by the T.L.O. film company in 1995-6, in the making of ‘Evita’ starring Madonna. A certificate is supplied detailing and confirming its use in the film. The current owner has used and enjoyed this car for the past thirteen years, and it is now described as being in generally good condition. Recently the gearbox was rebuilt and a new cork clutch fitted. There are a number of spares sold with the car including five brand new unused split rim wheels made in New Zealand by Hudson authority Geoff Clark. Also included is a file of technical information, bills for work done and old MOT’s etc. It is currently MOT’d until July. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1964 Wolseley 1500 Reg. No.: 684 MON Chassis no. 24282 Engine No.: H121810 This model was Wolseley’s last individual offering, as subsequent models were luxury editions on Austin/Morris themes. The 1500 was first introduced in 1958 as an attractive compact 1.5 litre saloon, which essentially was an expanded Morris Minor, with rack and pinion steering and close ratio gearbox. A Riley derivative was also available. This motorcar was once owned by a Wolseley Owners Club member and is very original apart from some paintwork. We are advised that the interior is in lovely original condition, and the car is good overall. It is MOT’d until May and can be driven from the sale. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1929 Ford Model A Pick-up Reg. No.: SV 7003 Chassis no. DMV 420 Engine No.: 3534253 The model came into production late in 1927, with a conventional 3.3 litre 4-cylinder side valve engine, coupled with a three speed gearbox and good four wheel brakes. The styling of the saloons was good, and the tourers epitomised all that was great about open air motoring. They also made a station wagon. The model offered here today unusually in pick-up form, is in excellent all round condition, starting and running well. Purchased by the current owner last year, little is known of its earlier history, although what is clear is that a great deal of money was spent on this vehicle, and its been maintained ever since. It is MOT’d until July. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1968 Volkswagon Karmann Ghia Reg. No.: WVO 516G Chassis no. 149140064 Engine No.: DO830783 Volkswagon’s Karmann Ghia is a 2+2 coupe and convertible produced from 1955 to 1974 combining the chassis and mechanicals of the Beetle, styling by Luigi Segre of the Italian carrozzeria Ghia and hand built bodywork by German coachbuilder Karmann. Soon after the model was introduced, production figures rocketed primarily due to the American market where it became the most imported car. The Type 14 was marketed as a practical and stylish 2+2 rather than as a true sports car. As they shared engines, the Type 14’s engine displacement grew concurrently with the Type 1 Beetle ultimately of 1584cc. The convertible, of which we have an example here, was introduced in 1957, the marque later gaining notoriety on the American television series ‘Get Smart’. This 1968 convertible was treated to a body off restoration prior to the current ownership of twelve years. We are advised it is rust free and very sound following this rebuild. Over the last eight years the car was dry stored, and last year re-commissioned for road use. Currently MOT’d until June, this light blue example presents well, and will bring style to any motor home. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1929 Austin 7 RK Saloon Reg. No.: n/a Chassis no. 95482 Engine No.: 960073 This car truly is a ‘barn find’ and is a really good basis for restoration as it appears very complete. Being of 1929 manufacture, this car when completed will be eligible for many if not all VSCC events. These early saloons do not come on the market very often and very rarely in barn-fresh condition. This is an exciting and rare opportunity sure to excite any vintage enthusiast! There are no documents with the car except a letter from the Society of Automotive Historians in Britain dating the car, which will help with obtaining a registration number.

1925 Renault NN Tourer Reg. No.: DS 8325 Chassis no. 205959 Engine No.: 17591 The ‘NN’ model was first introduced in 1924, as a very simple and family orientated motorcar. 150,000 examples were sold before production ceased in 1930. An obviously French motorcar with Renault trademark scuttle mounted radiator and left hand steering. The result is a very charming ‘light car’ most suitable for numerous VSCC events, that has been enjoyed by the current vendor for the past sixteen years. Restored in France in the 1980’s this car was imported to the UK in 1990. The engine was then reconditioned in 1993, the magneto in 1991, the radiator in 1989 and the dynostart in 2005. Bills for this work are available. This car is sold with a spare engine, gearbox, back axle, radiator and brake parts. A French workshop manual is also supplied as is a current MOT and tax disc.

1971 Mercedes 230 Saloon Reg. No.: VKX 312N Chassis no. 11401520085668 Engine No.: 18095420057561 The W114/W115 models were the first post-war Mercedes-Benz production cars to use a newly engineered chassis, not derived from preceding models. These models replaced the fintail and they themselves were superceded in 1976. These saloons were marketed as Mercedes’ mid sized cars and still today can be used as an everyday family car. This car was bought new in Germany by a Wing Commander in the RAF who was starting a tour of duty in June 1971. At the time he chose a few extras including specifying the non-standard dark blue colour, and a tow bar. The car was used for towing a caravan to many places such as Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. On returning to England in the Autumn of 1974, the car was given the registration number that it still has now. The car served the owner for many years and was serviced by Mercedes agents, being used mainly for long distance trips rather than local shopping. This gentleman parted with it reluctantly in 2008. There is a large file of paperwork and invoices sold with the car, and it is currently MOT’d until June. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1928 Humber 14/40 Saloon Reg. No.: DTR 403 Chassis no. 15099 Engine No.: 15115 This saloon is a very rare example of the 14/40 range, normally seen clothed in tourer coachwork. From a well known Irish Humber enthusiast, this car is in very original condition, having been imported from the Channel Islands immediately after WWII in 1946. We are informed that it has been in regular use since then, only coming off the road very recently due to magneto problems. The magneto has been rebuilt and is sold with the car, although not fitted. Overall in good useable condition, this Vintage Humber may require some re-commissioning to get it ready for the road. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1951 Chevrolet Deluxe 2 door Coupe Reg. No.: GSU 298 Chassis no. 6JKK6337 Engine No.: tba The Deluxe range originated in 1941, as a four door sedan, but then evolved into the two door coupe version that we see today. Post-War styling differed slightly but only in reduced body contour and integrated rear fenders. This powerful 4 litre car in eye catching green/cream livery, is offered in good all round condition with no known faults. Imported in 1988, this car was then owned for over twenty years by an elderly lady who only got the car out for MOT’s and cleaning. A car that now deserves to be used and enjoyed, that is MOT’d until July. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

The body and chassis are in very good condition and would make an ideal advertising vehicle for a business or an ideal vehicle to show. It presents well, and represents good value for money.

1953 Morris Oxford Reg. No.: RAU 419 Chassis no. DAA11-143806 Engine No.: 176462 William Morris’ first car was called the Oxford in recognition of its home city. After WWII the Oxford MO replaced the ‘10’. It was introduced in 1948 and produced until 1954. Designed by Alec Issigonis, the Oxford along with the Minor, introduced unit construction. Under the bonnet the MO was a step back in technology from the pre-war ‘10’ using a side valve straight four as opposed to the older ohv unit. This had an output of 40.5bhp propelling the car to 72mph. We are advised by the vendor that this example is in good overall condition and is MOT’d until September, with a road fund licence expiring at the end of August.

Launched in 1928 the ohc 847cc engine proved very successful. Combined with lightweight bodywork, this unit propelled the cars to almost 60 mph. We are told that this example, the first of two in the sale, is in very good all round condition. Painted in striking red, this little car will be sure to attract a crowd wherever it goes. It has a current MOT that expires in September. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1967 Daimler Sovereign Reg. No.: FVE 660E Chassis no. IA30273BW Engine No.: 7A303568 Between 1966 and 1969 just over 5,800 examples were produced. Launched at the 1966 London Motor Show as the ultimate in ‘compact sporting saloons’. Developed from the Jaguar ‘S’ type, which continued to be made alongside the newer models, all of which were eventually supplanted by the Jaguar XJ6 late in 1968. The sovereigns were powered by a 4.2 litre engine, and that coupled with very light steering gave a very refined and exciting ride. This motorcar was part of a wedding fleet until 2010, when the last MOT expired. We are told that there were no advisory notes at the time of the last test. It appears in all round good condition although there is evidence of some rust appearing. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1924 AC Royal 12/24 Tourer Reg. No.: EK 3708 Chassis no. FJ 20666 Engine No.: D9595 Auto Carriers Ltd became AC Cars Ltd in 1922 and is one of the oldest independent car marques founded in Britain, the first car that would eventually take the AC name being produced in 1903. In the early 1920’s the company developed a sporting pedigree through the efforts of individuals such as Sammy Davis and Victor Bruce. The most famous name however was Selwyn Edge, ex-works driver and director of Napier Cars, who became governing director of AC in 1921. Edge had broken numerous records at Brooklands, most notably in 1925 whilst driving an AC Six at an average speed of 82mph for 24 hours. Originally supplied new in Wigan this car was the archetypal barn find in Guildford, Surrey in the 1990’s. The restoration was carried out by John Leech of Alton, Hampshire, a coachbuilder in the truest sense of the word, between 1998 and 2000. As can be seen from the accompanying extensive photographic record the car was impeccably restored with nearly all the original external body panels being retained over a new ash frame. The attention to detail is to be applauded with special regard to instruments, electrics, trim, upholstery and spring gaiters. The radiator shell was deliberately left as it was in order to retain some of its character and history. The car’s mechanicals were completely overhauled, including the fitting of a new worm and wheel, (cost £1,410). Still in excellent condition, the car recently won a concours d’elegance for the best non Bugatti at one of their owners club events. Arguably one of the most popular and good looking of all the ‘light cars’ of the period, the car is offered complete with a comprehensive file containing invoices, correspondence, technical drawings, a photographic record of the restoration, original handbook, spare parts catalogue and a large quantity of new and used spares. MOT’d until February, a car to be driven from the sale! Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1931 Morris Minor 2 door saloon Reg. No.: JF 2437 Chassis no. SV10739 Engine No.: 24134B The Morris Minor was produced to challenge head on the excellent Austin 7. Launched in 1928 it was powered with a Wolseley derived overhead camshaft 847cc 4 cylinder engine. This side valve unit developed enough power to propel the cars to almost 60mph. With its leaf suspension and drum brakes the Minor was a fine handling car. Little is known about this Minor, although the vendor does describe the car as being in good overall condition. It is MOT’d until November and has its road fund licence. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1919 LeZebre Type D Reg. No.: WP 2959 Chassis no. D20 6744 Engine No.: 480 Towards the end of the first decade of the 20th Century, most French car makers were adding cylinders, however LeZebre were manufacturing a little 600cc 5hp model that was extremely popular in spite of only having one cylinder. Not until 1912 did a 4-cylinder LeZebre appear. The bore was tiny, 50mm, but the stroke was long at 120mm. This was fitted with a larger 950cc engine and a three speed gearbox. LeZebre continued with this model for a short time after WWI, but in 1923 a larger car again was introduced. The company went out of business in 1931. The designers of the LeZebre achieved greater fame than their car, one helped design the 5CV Citroen and the other performed the same service for Amilcar. This rare French light car started life in Brittany, and apparently was laid up in a barn before WWII, however the owner didn’t survive the conflict. The car was then imported into the UK in 1976 in unrestored condition and passed through several hands including that of Ray Wollett who completed much of the work required on the car. Trojan Ltd of Sussex then completed the work and the car was registered with WP 2959 in 1981. In good overall condition the car would be an excellent candidate for VSCC light car events, and would stand out wherever it was shown. There is a substantial amount of supporting paperwork relating to work carried out and the history of the car. Also sold with the car are several rare original booklets relating to LeZebre. A rare opportunity. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1952 Buick Special Saloon Reg. No.: DSV 681 Chassis no. 731 Engine No.: n/a Advertisements for the 1952 Buick proclaimed that "…a million dollars’ worth of engineering, research and special components have gone into perfecting its…Million Dollar Ride" while still providing "road-hugging security" in all conditions. The 1952 model was very similar in appearance to that of 1951 and the ‘Special’ engine remained unchanged from its eight-cylinder 4,316cc unit. This restoration project has been dry stored at a museum for many years and is offered as a rolling shell, without its engine or transmission. This is a rare right hand drive example that appears very sound, and presents an opportunity either to restore or use as spares. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1935 Rolls Royce 20/25 Sports Saloon (Sedanca Coupe) Reg. No.: BXN 295 Chassis no. GAE 18 Engine No.: W-4-X The Rolls Royce 20/25 built between 1929 and 1936 succeeded the 20hp as Rolls Royce’s ‘small car’ intended to appeal to owner drivers, but in the end many were sold to customers with chauffeurs. The in-line 6-cylinder ohv engine was similar to that used in the 20hp, but was enlarged to 3,699cc. A single carburettor was used, and both coil and magneto ignition were fitted. The four speed gearbox had a traditional right hand change and later in 1932 synchromesh was fitted to third and top gears. GAE 18 came off the test bed on the 20th September 1934, and then was delivered to coachbuilders Gurney Nutting. They then fitted what is a very attractive sports saloon fitted with a three quarter length sliding sunroof. The first owner was Harold Paget Esq of Junior Carlton Club, Pall Mall, London. The second owner of this stylish motorcar was Capt. Marandez of sports car builder fame and a noted Moseley blackshirt. He was registered as owning the car in 1941 at the Bedford School of Flying (a signed letter from him confirms this). The third owner was R.E. McAlpine. The car was restored by the previous owner to the vendor, with help from Barry Summerfield in Essex, and many invoices relating to work done lay on file. Sometime during previous ownership the car was fitted with an after market overdrive system. Under current ownership works carried out include the rewinding of the magneto and coil, relining the brakes, new clutch and lining fitted and overhaul of the engine crankshaft damper. The one-shot lubrication system also now works as it should. In current ownership the car has covered many trips to Europe without problems, including a week in Brittany, trips to the Vendee and to Northern France. The only maintenance needed was to check tyre pressures, fluid levels and top up the one shot reservoir. There is a large file of paperwork sold with the car including correspondence from Rolls Royce, letters to and from several of the previous owners including W. McAlpine and Capt. Marandez numerous old MOT’s and tax discs, a buff continuation logbook, some service records from the 1960’s and copies of the original build sheets. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1955 Ford Popular Reg. No.: LHJ 492 Chassis no. 862485 Engine No.: TBA These cars were particularly known for their indestructible qualities and whilst being at the lower end of the range costing just £391, it was in essence a simplified version of the Anglia. With its 1,172cc engine this period piece was still being made in 1959 complete with side valve engine of 1935 design, beam front axle and mechanical brakes. No history is supplied with this car, we are told that it is in overall good condition although the headlining requires attention. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1937 DKW F7 Meisterklasse Cabriolet Reg. No.: DOX 468 Chassis no. 5064535 Engine No.: 762816 DKW is a historic German car and motorcycle marque whose name derives from ‘Dampf-Kraft-Wagen’, the German for steam driven car. Indeed it was a steam driven car that was attempted in 1916 by a Danish Engineer who had founded a factory in Saxony to produce steam fittings that same year. Although unsuccessful he made a two stroke toy engine in 1919 and put a modified version of this engine into a motorcycle. This was the real beginning of the DKW brand. By the 1930’s DKW was the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer. In 1932 DKW merged with Audi, Horch and Wanderer to form the ‘Auto Union’. DKW cars were made from 1928 until 1966, always using two stroke engines and from 1931 the company was a pioneer in front wheel drive and transverse mounting. The ‘F’ prefix series signified front wheel drive and these cars were powered by 600 or 700cc engines. The F7 model, of which we have an example here, was made between 1937 and 1938. This motorcar was made late in 1937 and registered early in 1938. It has been owned by the same family since 1962 and is believed to have been rebuilt in 1955 by a previous owner. At this time a number of modifications were carried out such as the addition of trafficators, side lights and a temperature gauge. Lucas headlamp lenses were also fitted to the original shells. This car has been a regular attendant at owners club meets from the 1960’s-1980’s and has always been garaged. Currently MOT’d it is in running but unrestored condition. It would benefit from some improvement, and we are advised that it could do with a re-wire. A rare opportunity to acquire a seldom seen motorcar. Please note there are a number of DKW spares from the same vendor, in the sale on Day 1. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

The 1925 model features rear wheel brakes with the gate-change gear lever and handbrake situated on the right of the driver. It has a vee-windscreen and folding Auster screen for rear passengers with the spare wheel mounted on the offside running board.

The car has been in constant use from 1959 until 2010 and although never restored has been tended to and overhauled as necessary during Harvey McWhir’s ownership. This 12/25 has been known to the Humber Register for many years and has competed in many competitive rallies and touring events. There is a history file with the original buff & green log books, tax discs and MOT certificates. The jack, jack-handle and oil cans are stowed against the engine bulkhead, whilst the starting handle is permanently fixed. The car will have a current MOT and is currently SORN’d (Statutory Off Road Notification). Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1924 Morris Cowley Bullnose Reg. No.: YA 8196 Chassis no. 46644 Engine No.: 58400 The body style of this Morris being a two seater with dicky, in some eyes is more attractive than the tourer version. It has a 1.5 litre engine that combined with light coachwork, makes for a spritely ride. It has been fitted with a new body by a reputable firm, together with a rebuilt engine. This is a good opportunity for someone looking for a project to finish, and is an ideal light car for use in VSCC events. Unfortunately no history is known.

1968 Triumph TR5 Reg. No.: HJF 600F Chassis no. CP372 Engine No.: CP51499HE The Triumph TR5 was built for a very short time between August 1967 and September 1968, therefore few were made, just 2,947, of which only 1,161 were destined for the UK market. The remainder were made as left hand drive models. Visually identical to its TR4 predecessor, the TR5 hid the main differences under the body, the most significant of which was the engine. The TR5 was powered by a 2.5 litre straight-six fuel injected engine, developing around 150 bhp. Triumph claimed that it was the "First British production sports car with petrol injection". This car is an original right hand drive UK registered TR5, that was owned by a German architectural student, studying in London in the 1970’s. After driving the car for some time, this owner damaged the engine. A short, replacement engine was fitted by TR Improvements, London (the receipt is still with the car). The car returned to Germany with its owner, destined to be restored, however the car was never registered in Germany and sat with its UK logbook and plates in a German barn for twenty years. In 2008 the car was sold to its present owner who undertook a complete restoration back in the UK. A full photographic record of this ‘no expense spared’ restoration is available. Everthing was taken apart, the chassis powder coated, the body received a bare metal respray and all the running gear was rebuilt. The engine was rebuilt and balanced with lightening where appropriate. It was converted for lead-free petrol at this time. The interior has been trimmed to a high specification in ivory leather, with extra areas such as the dash top, crash pads and central yoke incorporated at this time. A custom made mohair blue hood and tonneau have only recently been fitted. A truly excellent example of what is a rare British sports car. MOT’d until February 2013 this fine example is ready to be shown and enjoyed. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1974 Ford Capri 2000GT Reg. No.: TPK 235M Chassis no. BBECNK36514 Engine No.: NK36514 The Capri was introduced in 1969 owing much to its European cousin, the Ford Mustang, and many engine and trim combinations were available. The engine was based on the well sorted unit fitted to the Cortina. The result was a combination of style and reliability that was easy to maintain. The car was acquired about twelve years ago and kept in dry storage ever since. It has been fitted with a new battery, tyres and an exhaust. We are told that it runs and starts well. There is a minor ding to one wing, but a new wing is sold with the car. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1951 Nash ‘Airflyte’ Statesman Super 2-door sedan Reg. No.: 739 UXF Chassis no. K474151-14317 Engine No.: 3126573 In October 1950 the Nash Airflyte Statesman was tested prior to public announcement by Wilbur Shaw, America’s then best known motorist, and he is said to have been ‘duly impressed’. An iconic American 1950’s motorcar that still impresses today, with its ahead of time aerodynamic styling and is a certain head-turner on the roads today. Nash literature and advertisements from 1951 placed great emphasis on the ‘Airflyte’ construction proclaiming that they were "built the same way as the modern airliner and streamlined train, specially designed for strength, greater safety and the smoothest quietest drive you have ever enjoyed, thanks to the exclusive Nash ‘Airflyte’ construction". This is one of a handful of 1950’s Nashes in the UK and was imported from the US in 2004, having undergone considerable restoration work. Described by the vendor as in ‘excellent all round condition’ this rarely seen motorcar presents an opportunity to acquire style and comfort at a very modest price. It has a current MOT that expires in August. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

Circa 1923/4 Brooks-Ostruk (ex Rolls Royce Silver Ghost) body Reg. No.: n/a Chassis no.n/a Engine No.: n/a This body was purchased by the vendor on a 1920 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost chassis, and has been stored in a barn for the past 42 years. The coachbuilders were Brooks-Ostruk who supplied bodies mainly for Minervas and Isotta Fraschinis. They also supplied bodies for Rolls Royce with their own name plates and were of great quality. Although no absolute year of manufacture can be attributed to the body, the detailing, especially the anti-glare windscreen makes it most likely to have been built in 1923/4. Unfortunately this one has suffered from the ravages of an open fronted barn. The steel wings can only be considered suitable for patterns, and the scuttle forward of the windscreen must be totally reframed. The rest of the body, although cosmetically distressed, is structurally sound. The cost of having such a body frame and doors made to this standard, should be considered by potential bidders. It offers the right sort of person with the necessary drive and skills, a rare opportunity to restore an original body and mate it with a suitable chassis. It will also be potentially rewarding saving an original body from further decay. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1929 Austin 7 Chummy Reg. No.: n/a Chassis no. 81326 Engine No.: 958 37 This ‘barn find’ 1929 Chummy is in dismantled condition and offers prospective purchasers the opportunity to give full reign to their creative instincts. Most parts appear present and useable, although some may be patterns only. This iconic car that saved the Austin Company, brought four wheel comfort to thousands of people. With two other sevens this was recently imported from New Zealand, where it was discovered. No paperwork other than a letter from the ‘Society of Automotive Historians in Britain’ dating the car, is present, although this will help in obtaining a registration number.

1926 Austin 12/4 Clifton Tourer-Two Owners from new! Reg. No.: DK 3799 Chassis no. 5TTN 723 Engine No.: 23070 The Austin 12/4 came into production in 1922 in difficult post WWI conditions, and combined with its smaller siblings saved the Austin company from possible extinction and they became the company’s best selling range in the 1920’s. The 12/4 became so popular that it remained in production until 1935, and even later in Taxi form. This model with its 1661cc engine was known as one of the hardest wearing machines of all time, with wonderful looks and great reliability they represented excellent value, fully endorsing Lord Austin’s slogan that: "You invest in an Austin". This example was acquired by the late husband of the present owner in the 1950’s making him just the second owner from new and it has remained in the same family since then and more importantly in constant use! There has been a rolling programme of maintenance/restoration during this long term ownership, which includes a respray about ten years ago, and a new hood and tonneau made by Royles of Staindrop. During this ownership it has covered most of the UK and entered rallies in Ireland. Described as in good overall condition throughout, this car is MOT’d until May. A rare opportunity to acquire a well maintained and campaigned motorcar. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1957 Austin A135 Princess Mk.IV DS7 Reg. No.: NS 3384 Chassis no. DS7/13023 Engine No.: 13023 The Princess was a distinctive range that Austin produced with its subsidiary Vanden Plas from 1947 to 1968. Launched in 1947, it was the most expensive flagship model in the Austin range and featured either large saloon or limousine coachwork. From 1957 the Austin badge was dropped so the cars could be sold by Nuffield dealerships. So although Austin was producing a Princess, it was no longer the ‘Austin Princess’ by name. From May 1960, the Vanden-Plas name was added in front of ‘Princess’. The series IV was designed at a time when the large owner-driver saloon with pretensions to the spacious luxury of formal limousines was falling out of favour. It is now a rare car indeed, able to deliver spirited performance and a ride quality equal to the Rolls-Royce products of the day. This car left the factory and was supplied to a Mrs Anne Fotheringham of the Southerland Arms Hotel, on the shores of Loch Shin. Its second owner then used the car for guided tours, after which it was laid up in a heated garage from 1971 until the owner’s death forty one years later. The current vendor is only the third owner, and tells us that the car starts and runs as it should. The recorded mileage of 17,000 is believed correct, and the interior reflects this. Re-commissioning work has been carried out in recent times, including work on the brakes and a complete new exhaust. There is some rust in the side sills and some to the rear wings, however the majority of the exterior has surface defects only. We are told that the car starts and runs in a way commensurate with the indicated 17,000 mileage. Similarly the interior is in excellent original condition. The car is sold with its original handbook, workshop manual, original tool roll and smiths jack. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1948 Morris 8 Series E Reg. No.: NFC 635 Chassis no. SE 113570 Engine No.: 134517 This, the second Series E Morris offered today, is a post-war example. These highly useable small cars offer prospective purchasers cheap motoring with all the feel of a true pre-war motorcar. This example has been owned since 2006, the second of only two owners since new. The previous owner had just rebuilt the engine prior to selling the car, and in recent times the car has seen little use, hence the car has come to the market. A new battery has just been fitted and we are told that the car runs well. It is currently MOT’d until October, and is described as in good all round condition, although the near side front seat requires attention. We are also told that the number is transferable.

1936 Austin 7 Ruby Reg. No.: n/a Chassis no. 7A80T200708244087 Engine No.: M 245216 This example appears to be a reasonably sound example of a fairly early ruby saloon. It has just arrived with two other sevens, from New Zealand, with no paperwork. There is an accompanying letter from the ‘Society of Automotive Historians in Britain’ dating the car, which will help in obtaining a registration number. With almost every mechanical part available off the shelf, this car is ideal for anyone looking to do some pre-war motoring on a budget. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1979 Vauxhall Cavalier GL Auto Reg. No.: HYD 127T Chassis no. 77JY144834 Engine No.: 0392289 The Cavalier model was produced from 1975 until 1995. The first generation of Cavalier was based on the existing Opel Ascona with a few minor visual differences. The Cavalier initially complemented and then replaced the slightly larger Victor, which by then was falling a long way behind the Ford Cortina in car sales. In 1978 the engine size was increased to nearly two litres. This example has been dry stored for a number of years in a museum, and is sold with a logbook but will require recommissioning.

1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk.1 Reg. No.: DDR 22C Chassis no. B9473528 HRO FE Engine No.: 5333-F21KA The Tiger was introduced as a sports car alongside the Alpine, whose reputation had developed as a touring car as opposed to that with more sporting pretentions. The West Coast sale manager of Rootes American Motors Inc. set about changing the image of the Sunbeam marque. After considering several V8 engines, he felt that Ford’s new 164hp 4.3litre ‘Windsor’ engine would fit nicely between the frame rails. Sunbeam asked Carroll Shelby to produce one functional prototype on a budget of $10,000. After doing extensive engineering studies Rootes Group subcontracted development and pre-production to Jensen, who went on to manufacture the Tiger. In all, 7,085 cars were produced over a three year period. The Tiger was arguably more practical and commercially successful than the AC Cobra that inspired it, but its road and track performance was inferior. It did however increase the sporting cache of the Sunbeam brand. This Mk.1 example was restored in the early 1990’s, to a high standard. The 260 engine was balanced and rebuilt by Mathwell, invoices for which are available. The bottom end was rebuilt and the heads were modified for unleaded fuel in 2006. It is fitted with 4bbl Holley carbs and freeflow headers starting on the button and running cool. Supported on original Wolf Race alloy wheels and fitted with a fibreglass LAT style bonnet (original is supplied with the car) the car certainly looks the part. Additional features include a new stainless steel exhaust, ventilated front discs, Koni shock absorbers, easily removable roll bar and bucket seats with full harness. It was resprayed at the time of restoration and powder coated underneath. New hood and carpets were also fitted at this time. Previous owners include Robin Howard, ex Secretary of the Sunbeam Tiger Owners Club, who had the car for nearly 20 years. MOT’d until February 2013, this car can be driven straight out the marquee and onto the circuit! Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1976 Ford Transit 130 LWB Van-Ex Metropolitan Police Reg. No.: OYN 950R Chassis no. BD05RC62836 Engine No.: BD05RC62836 The original range of Ford transit vans were introduced in 1965 and dominated the mid range market from the start. The legacy is such that the transit is still made today. They had a variety of uses and these included the police force. This control van was one of six used by the metropolitan police. It was confirmed by a current serving officer that it was used to rescue police officers at Broadwater farm riots in 1985. Photographic and film evidence has been found to show that vans from the fleet were used at Operation Nimrod (Iranian Embassy) in 1980 and at the Clapham rail disaster in 1988. They were also used at many other demonstrations/crowd control events in London. These vans would be positioned where the officer in charge had full view of the location and would use the all round visability provided by the van to evaluate the situation and send radio messages to other police groups. The van is fitted with loudspeakers for direct instructions/crowd control. In certain situations it would be used as the main communication van/mobile police station. It is essentially the fore-runner of the CCTV vans you see around today. This van is believed to be one of only two survivors and was purchased by the present owners in 2008 after the Metropolitan Police museum was disbanded. It has not run for a number of years following a period in the museum. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1933 Morris Cowley Flatnose Reg. No.: 954 YUG Chassis no. tba Engine No.: tba The Flatnose six-cylinder was made from 1929 to 1933 in various coachwork, although the engines stayed the same. We understand that there were 32,282 Flatnose Morris’ made, in both four and six-cylinder. This example has been laid up for some years but we are told that the engine was running fine prior to being parked up. The interior is in good condition commensurate for its age. We are also told that the doors are not fitting correctly and the body does require some ash repairs (some ash is provided with the car). Overall the car appears complete, apart from the speedo and exhaust are missing. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1955 Riley RME Saloon Reg. No.: 974 BPU Chassis no. RME23618 Engine No.: RMA13851 Riley’s four seater 1.5 litre RMA saloon was introduced in 1945 with low, streamlined body styling and an opulent interior designed to appeal to the more discerning motorist. The cars were built on a separate chassis with unstressed ash framed steel panelwork and fabric covered roof. Power came from a 1496cc ohv four-cylinder engine with twin camshafts. It propelled the car to a top speed of 75mph. In 1951 the RMA was replaced by the RME, which was essentially the same car, but with open propshaft, hypoid axle, fully hydraulic brakes and a larger rear window. Finished in its original blue metallic paint with light grey interior, this car has a recorded mileage of just over 52,000. This is not substantiated although there are MOTs from the last twenty years showing a gradual increase in miles, and the general condition is commensurate with about 52,000. Mechanically the car seems to be fine in all respects, as is the paintwork and chrome, although we are advised there are one or two minor areas that require attention. We are also advised that the water temperature gauge is currently not working. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

This 8 cwt deluxe van is now a rare survivor, and we are told that it is completely standard and not messed with. Its 59,000 miles are believed genuine, but we are unable to substantiate this.

1955 Wolseley 4/44 Reg. No.: VTB 518 Chassis no. tba Engine No.: 19306 The Wolseley 4/44 was originally designed under the Nuffield Organisation but by the time it was released in 1953 Wolseley was part of BMC. Much of the design was shared with the MG Magnette ZA that came out later in the same year. Unlike the MG, the 4/44 used the 1250cc XPAW engine a version of the XPAG engine. This car was restored in 1996 by Hollybush Motors at a cost of over £8,000. The interior in particular has been restored to a high standard.

1937 Rolls Royce 25/30 Saloon Reg. No.: DYN 11 Chassis no. GH07 Engine No.: V28K The Rolls Royce 25/30 built between 1936 and 1938 is an updated version of the 20/25 with larger engine to provide more power, as often, over large bodies had been fitted to the earlier model leading to complaints about its performance. The in-line 6-cylinder overhead valve engine is similar to that used in the 20/25 but increased in capacity to 4257cc. Only the chassis and mechanical parts were made by Rolls Royce. The body was made and fitted by a coachbuilder selected by the owner. This example is clothed in very attractive coachwork believed to be by Mulliner, and its first owner was Sir August Cayzer Bart. Ownership then passed to Sir Nicholas Bart. The current owner has recently carried out many expensive improvements including a full engine overhaul by Fiennes, a re-spray and a new vinyl roof. All the invoices are supplied with the car and many other smaller works have been carried out including some re-chroming. An excellent and highly useable car with all the expense already undertaken.

1952 BSA ZB34A 500cc Competition model Reg.No.: GSJ 255 Frame No.: ZB31S17303 Engine No.: 2B34A4064 At the end of WWII BSA were quick to introduce a 350cc competition model, followed by a 500cc in 1948. With the announcement of the new Gold Star range, fitted with an all aluminium engine, it was not long before this feature was applied to the competition models (mainly to save weight). This model from 1952, near the end of production of spring (plunger) frame motorcycles, looks very much like and is sometimes confused with the `Gold Stars`. Purchased by the vendor some years ago in running condition, the machine is described as in good all round condition, and has a current MOT that expires in June.

1921 Calcott 13.9 2-seater coupe with dickey by Charlsworth. Reg.No.: WY 6500 Chassis No.: tba Engine No.: tba We understand that the 13.9 was offered at the 1921 Motor Show, a view supported by the vendor who has a copy of the display advert. This is the only 13.9 known to survive, and only 28 Calcott are listed by the register worldwide asthe only known survivors. The car was not taxed between 1926 and the 1960`s whilst with the first owner, and the next owner apart from a garage, had the car from the 1960`s until purchased by the late Andrew Booth of Orchid Cars. Whilst at Orchid it was resprayed a more suitable colour and rewired. It would appear from what little is known about the car and the way it performs that it has done very little mileage. Now MOT`d and with current road fund licence it is ready for the coming season. The vendor describes the car as being `a `very enjoyable drive with good performance`.
