1933 Austin 10/4 SaloonReg. no. AGC 564Chassis no. G10937Engine no. I6111Introduced in April 1932the 10/4 was Austin's best-selling car in the 1930s and continued in production, with upgrades, until 1947. Initially offered with the chrome radiator surround the first upgrade came in 1935 with the introduction of a cowl painted to match the body colour.The design of the car was conservative with a pressed steel body built on a ladder chassis. The engine is a 1132 cc four-cylinder side valve coupled to a 4-speed gearbox. The four-wheel brakes are cable and rod operated by pedal or by hand lever on the offside of the speed lever. For the first year only, a four-door saloon was made in two versions. The basic model cost £155 and was capable of reaching 55 miles per hour.The car on offer was first registered on 26 March 1933. Delivered new to a Mr Lewis the car then passed to his son. The vendor’s father acquired 'Agatha' in 1988 who was then inherited by his daughter in 2005. It is fitted with its original 1132 cc engine which pulls well with no nasty sounds and on start-up doesn't emit smoke. The body and paintwork appear to be original and the condition is consummate with its age and would benefit from attention. The running boards are still covered with their original rubbers embossed with the Austin logo. The blue leather interior is also original and can best be described as well used but functional. In 2012 four new tyres were fitted and the addition of modern flashing indicators, a sensible safety addition undertaken at the same time. Driven regularly until 2004 the car has been used sparingly since, with her last outing in 2019. This is an unusual opportunity to acquire a two family from new car from the early days of the 10/4, a car which of course benefits from nil rate VED and is not subject to the annual MOT. AGC 564 is offered for sale with a current V5 together with a quantity of old MOT certificates, some old tax discs, various Austin 10 Club magazines, a 6-volt manual, workshop manuals and an Owners Help Manual.

1909 Renault Type AZ 12/16 HP LandauletteReg. no. BF 4907Chassis no. 15067Engine no. t.b.a.Founded in 1899 by the three Renault brothers – Louis, the engineering mind behind the cars, and Marcel and Fernand, who provided the business acumen – the Renault company quickly established a firm foothold in the pioneer world of the early car industry. The company was involved in motorsport from its earliest years; Louis and Marcel actively campaigned their own products until Marcel was killed during the infamously dangerous 1903 Paris-Madrid race. Louis never raced again, but Renault cars continued in motorsport, and in 1906 Ferenc Szisz won the very first Grand Prix driving a 90CV model. At this time Renault made a car for every taste; from the hugely powerful racing cars on one end of the scale, to small capacity voiturettes on the other.The 12CV AZ model was launched in 1909. Fitting somewhere in the middle of Renault’s large range, it had a 2.4 litre fixed head side valve engine. This engine used magneto ignition and thermo-syphon cooling, as did most other cars of the era; unusually, however, the radiator was behind the engine, and covered by the ‘coal scuttle’ bonnet that was to be a distinctive feature on Renaults for another twenty years. Shaft drive was utilised, while the conventional ladder chassis rode on semi-elliptic leaf springs at the front, with three-quarter elliptic springs at the back. Braking was on the rear wheels, controlled by a hand-operated lever. The 12CV proved a successful model, and Renault went from strength to strength, increasing its overall yearly production to 5,100 by 1910.This 1909 example is an original UK-market car, supplied new by ‘Renault Freres Ltd for Great Britain and the Colonies’. The landaulette body was built upon the chassis by Lucas of London. In true landaulette fashion, the somewhat austere chauffeur’s area – the front seat – stands in sharp contrast to the sumptuous luxury of the rear cabin. At least the chauffeur in this instance is blessed with a wooden roof for some weather protection, while the passengers in the rear can either be contained in weatherproof comfort, or, if the weather is fine, the soft top can be lowered, the windows likewise, and they can enjoy the sun and scenery while being driven gently along.The identity of this car’s first owner is unknown, but it was first registered as KN18 in Kent. Later it was in the ownership of Mrs D Green of Trowbridge in Wiltshire, but other than that the car’s early history is not known. At some point it crossed the Atlantic to the Unites States, whence it was repatriated in 1990. Later, it was purchased from Bob Bentley of Classic Automobiles Ltd by renowned Edwardian motorcar collector Tony Stephens. It is to Mr Stephens that the car owes its attractive colour scheme of green with yellow coach lines. Sold in 2008 to an owner in its ‘home’ county of Kent, the car was purchased by the late owner three years later. In the current ownership, it has been treated to an engine overhaul by specialists Henal Engineering Ltd of East Sussex and has benefitted from the fitting of a Zenith carburettor and electric starter.Estimate: £30,000 – 40,000

In production for one year only, the 1963 split-window Coupe C2 Corvette is the rarest and most desirable.Supplied new by Harry Mann, Los Angeles CA, the largest Chevrolet dealer on the West Coast at the timeFinished in rare Saddle Tan Metallic with a tan interiorDesirable factory options include uprated 300bhp, L75, 327ci engine, Powerglide transmission and electric windowsRestored to NCRS standards achieving a ‘Flight’ award in recognitionFeatured on the cover of and in 'Classic American' magazine and also in 'The Art of the Classic Sports Car' with photography by James MannThe appropriate registration number VET 661 will remain with the vehicleNow in its eighth generation, the Corvette began life in 1953 with the C1 - a model that inspired a generation of young Americans and gave the Ford Empire a nine-year headache. However it was the C2, the immortal Sting Ray produced between 1963 and 1967, that really set Chevrolet's cash registers ringing and left us with the most desired and collectable Corvette to date. Designed by Larry Shinoda under the guidance of the legendary Bill Mitchell, influences on the Sting Ray's unique and unforgettable form are said to include: the E-type Jaguar, a Mako shark once caught by Mitchell, the 'Q Corvette' concept car of 1957 and the 'Mitchell Sting Ray' design exercise.By the autumn of 1959, elements of the two unique Corvettes had been built into XP-720 - the design programme that led to the production of the Sting Ray as we know it. The aims for the new car included: improved passenger accommodation, more luggage space and superior ride and handling and with this, in mind, a new ladder chassis was created for the car by Zora Arkus-Duntov, the most important element of which was the move away from a live axle to independent rear suspension, courtesy of lateral struts, radius rods and transverse leaf spring. The independent front suspension was much as before, as were the recirculating ball steering and there were a number of drive train options available including four small block V8 engines, three transmissions, and six-axle ratios. One major innovation was that the C2 was available in both Convertible and Fastback Coupé form. The latter initially featured a dramatic split rear window, but this was discontinued a year into production and consequently, the 'split-window' cars are now by far the most desirable.The Corvette has since become widely known as "America's Sports Car" and has become synonymous with freedom and adventure, ultimately becoming both "the most successful concept car in history and the most popular sports car in history"Built in St. Louis Missouri, this very rare and desirable 'Split-Window' C2 is the Holy Grail of Corvettes with production only running for one year. Having had just four owners in total, this ‘black plate’ Sting Ray spent its entire life in California before being exported to the UK in September 2014. Prior to that, the car’s second owner had placed it into dry storage in 1980 where it remained until 2011 emerging ripe for restoration with a complete and total chassis-up rebuild taking place over the next two years. Restored to original specification and NCRS ( National Corvette Restorers Society) standard, this matching numbers example finished in Saddle Tan with a Tan interior is one of just 1,505 Powerglide examples to roll off the production line and remains stunning throughout with an attention to detail that is rarely achieved, even the radiator has the correct year date stamp! Factory options include the uprated 300bhp L75 engine, Powerglide 2-speed auto transmission and electric windows.Not only chosen as a cover car for ‘Classic American’ in 2017 with full feature, this outstanding Sting Ray, wearing the appropriate registration number VET 661, is also included in the coffee table book ‘The Art of the Classic Sports Car’ with photography by James Mann, copies of both are included within the comprehensive history file that accompanies the car.If you have been searching for what must be one of, if not the, best 1963 Split Window coupes, certainly in the UK then look no further! We strongly encourage and welcome your earliest inspection to fully appreciate the lengths taken to produce this outstanding example of automotive history that retains a cult following to this very day.
