1951 Crosley CD Four Hook & LadderOne of just four "Hook and Ladder" examples built by Overland Amusements of Lexington, Massachusetts between 1949 and 1952 for amusement park, tourist attraction and carnival usage, this novelty ride combines a Crosley CD Four Pickup with a custom-made fifth wheel `hook and ladder' trailer. The trailer features benches down both sides with wooden ladders hinging up and down to act as passenger restraints. Said to have been extensively restored whilst resident in a New Jersey museum for many years, it sports `Itty Bitty Fire Co' livery and a complement of fire-fighting equipment: extinguisher, hose, axe, bell, siren and lights etc. A guaranteed head turner and perhaps welcome at the likes of the Goodwood Revival, the `hook and ladder' is the only one of its kind outside of America. All four examples still exist and the last one to cross the block made$115,500 with Barrett Jackson in 2015! Founded by radio pioneer Powel Crosley, Crosley Motors Inc switched from two- to four-cylinder engines after WW2 adopting the innovative 44ci (722cc) CoBra (Copper Brazed) overhead camshaft unit which had proven its worth as a generator aboard PT boats and Boeing B17 Flying Fortresses. Evolving into the CIBA (Cast Iron Block Assembly) version for 1949, the OHC powerplant developed a quoted 26.5hp and 32.5lbft of torque and was allied to three-speed manual transmission. Current from late 1948 until Crosley closed its doors on July 3rd 1952, the CD Four could be had as a Sedan, Coupe, Convertible, Station Wagon, Pickup or Panel Truck. A Crosley won the first race at Sebring and famous owners included Humphrey Bogart and President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The diminutive width of the Crosley at 48 inches is because they weren't sold through dealerships but department stores, and they had to get them through the doors!

1929 Rolls-Royce 20hp Coupe- Part of the vendor's private museum collection since March 2015 and since treated to a full rewire, repaint, new headlining, fresh carpets, stainless steel exhaust, much rechroming and new tyres etc- Original buff logbook and factory-fitted engine, will reportedly cruise at 55mph thanks to Ristes-supplied overdrive- Supplied new to first owner Arthur Donn Esq with Victor Broom Saloon coachwork but apparently rebodied by Barker as a Fixed Head Coupe during 1931 (whilst still in Donn's ownership)- Subsequently the property of William Robert Bunbury, 4th Baron Rathdonnell M.C. from 1937-1959Intended to broaden the marque's reach beyond the fabulously rich to the merely very wealthy, the Rolls-Royce 20hp was introduced in 1922. A more radical design than its illustrious 40/50hp Silver Ghost sibling, the newcomer was based around a 10ft 9in wheelbase ladder-frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, rear-wheel brakes and fully floating 'Hotchkiss Drive' back axle. The first Rolls-Royce engine to feature overhead valvegear, its 3127cc straight-six was designed to run at anywhere between 150rpm and 3,500rpm. Priced at £1,100 in bare chassis guise, the 20HP was not only less expensive than the Silver Ghost but also lighter and more responsive to drive too. Progressively updated with a four-speed manual gearbox and all-wheel braking, the 'baby' Rolls remained in production until 1929 by which time some 2,940 are thought to have been made.According to its accompanying RREC copy build records, this particular example - chassis GFN10 - was ordered new from Jack Barclay Ltd by Arthur Donn Esq. of Regent's Park, NW8. Entrusted to coachbuilder Victor Broom Ltd of Camden Town, it was initially bodied as a four-door saloon before being granted the number plate `UL 4154' on 24th January 1929. A property developer with interests in Eastbourne as well as London, Mr Donn is understood to have commissioned Barker to fit the present Coupe coachwork during 1931. The RREC copy build records mention an accident that same year and also note revised carriage spring rates, while the Rolls-Royce's original buff registration logbook lists a change to `Type of Body Coupe' which is ratified by a London County Council stamp (dated December 1931). The same document shows that Mr & Mrs Donn kept the 20hp until 1936. Thereafter, it belonged to Arthur Phillips of Broadwater Court (who made his money from khaki dye), John Compton of Crystal Palace, Rawlence Cars Ltd of Albermarle St and The Honourable W.R. McLintock Bunbury of the 15/19 Hussars stationed in York. The later became the Fourth Baron Rathdonnell during the late 1930s and relocated `UL 4154' to Lisvanagh, County Carlow, Ireland where it was licenced up until his death in 1959. An email on file from the present Baron Rathdonnell states that he learned to drive in the four-seater and that the family sold it in about 1960 (he also supplied a delightful black and white photo of the car depicting a family picnic not to mention its distinctive windscreen visor and tubular bumpers). Known to have migrated to Canada by 1964, chassis GFN10 was resident in Woodbridge, Ontario for many years. Repatriated by renowned marque specialists The Real Car Company during 2013, the Rolls-Royce was described as `running well and offered recommissioned and newly MOT tested . . . a good looking car, in sound condition, scruffy in some respects, but appealingly so' when they sold it to Alan Sinclair the following January. Forming part of the vendor's private museum collection since March 2015, the past three years have seen the 20hp treated to a full rewire (incorporating new flashers with audible warning), replacement running boards / door locks, repainted bodywork and much rechroming. The carburettor was overhauled by Ristes Motors, the same firm supplying the overdrive which was fitted in 2016 and allows for a 55mph cruising speed. A stainless steel exhaust has been added and the starter motor refurbished. The front and rear springs have been greased and shod with fresh gaiters. The water pump has been repacked with special grease and all the grease / oil nipples attended to. The wiper motors / arms / blades have been renewed as have the battery box, headlining, carpets, number plates and tyres (Lester). The engine and gearbox were drained of oil and refilled as part of a thorough service during September 2016. The back axle was topped up too. Starting readily on inspection, `UL 4154' performed well en route to the photography location. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original buff logbook, instruction book, RREC copy build records and history file.

1914 Daimler 20hp TW20 Landaulette- Supplied new to Wm. Henry Thackwray of York and meticulously restored by Veteran and Vintage specialist Richard Peskett- Winner of the 'Best Car' award at the Daimler Centenary Rally in Coventry during June 1996- VCC dated and engine thoroughly overhauled during the current ownership- Featured in the award-winning Merchant Ivory film 'Maurice' (1987)The choice of no fewer than five Royal Families during the Edwardian Era, Daimler enjoyed an enviable reputation for engineering excellence and finely crafted coachwork. Eschewing conventional poppet valves for sleeve ones, the Coventry marque's engines were praised by The Autocar for their 'extraordinary combination of silence, flexibility and power'. Indeed, the Royal Automobile Club awarded Daimler its highly prestigious Dewar Trophy in 1909 after two such powerplants endured a series of gruelling bench, road and track tests without showing appreciable wear. Introduced in 1912, the 20hp was based around a substantial ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension (semi-elliptic front / cantilever back) and rear wheel brakes. Powered by a 3.3 litre four-cylinder sleeve-valve engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the newcomer could be had with a variety of open and closed bodystyles. Arguably, offering the best of both, the 'Bodmin' Landaulette could accommodate four / six in comfort with those in the back able to choose between enclosed or al fresco motoring thanks to its fold-down roof. Only in production until 1915, examples of the Daimler 20hp saw service with both King George V and the Empress of Korea.According to the City of York Council's original registration book, this particular example - chassis 12386 - was issued with the number plate 'DN 568' on February 11th 1914. Listed as a '20hp Daimler Landaulette - Green', its first owner was William Henry Thackwray of Fir Royd, Acomb Road, York. Thought to have remained in the same county for forty odd years because (a) the October 1950 issue of Motor Sport magazine records that W. Collingbourne won the Mr Steele Concours Cup at the Veteran Car Club's Scarborough Rally with his Daimler and (b) J.W. Collingbourne was mentioned in the VCC's report when they issued the 20hp with a dating certificate on 29th July 1953, the car had been acquired by VCC member Arthur Bosworth before the decade's end. Migrating to Devon thereafter, 'DN 568' subsequently belonged to Ted Woolley, Tony Simons, Edgar Richardson and Ronald Harris. A letter on file from Mr Richardson to Mr Harris notes: 'In all the years we had the car I used it to go all over England and Ireland and the Isle of Man also many trips to France and in all that time I never once had a breakdown'. Somewhat careworn after its travels which included appearing in the well-reviewed Merchant Ivory film 'Maurice' (1987), the Daimler was entrusted to experienced veteran restorer Richard Peskett of Hindhead, Surrey.Beginning work in October 1995, Mr Peskett undertook an extensive, body off, chassis up refurbishment of the car. With a brief to adhere as closely as possible to the 20hp's original specification but to make it fully functional once more, he fitted a correct type but replacement engine (to which its predecessor's ID plaque was affixed) and had new gearbox internals fabricated (at a cost of some £6,609.10) as well as thoroughly overhauling the rest of the running gear. The original ash framing and plywood panelling were preserved where possible and replaced where not. The wiring was renewed, the instruments rejuvenated and the CAV headlamps restored. New wings and running boards were made and the interior retrimmed with green leather upfront and grey cloth with grey / white brocade detailing to the rear. Sporting a side-mounted spare wheel, roof-mounted luggage rack, speaking tube, silk blinds and occasional seats, the Bodmin Landaulette was refinished in Deep Royal Green over Black with Red coachlines and monograms to its rear doors in time to receive the 'Best Car' Trophy at the Daimler Centenary Rally during 1996. Successfully completing the VCC President's Tour in 2004 - a 500-mile run through the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District, Scotland and Yorkshire Wolds - 'DN 568' was bought by William Hughes that same year. Purchased by the vendor as a replacement for his Edwardian Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost in March 2009, the Daimler has since won awards at the Audlem (2012), Nantwich (2012) and Daimler Lanchester Owners' Club 50th Anniversary (2014) Shows. The 20hp engine was treated to new white metal bearings, Arrow conrods and a fresh piston in 2010, while the past winter has seen the steering box and driveshafts fettled. Fitted from new with an electric starter, this very elegant and imposing Edwardian Daimler remains highly presentable. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, 'Best Car' Daimler Centenary Trophy and large history file.

1913 Rambler Model 83 Cross Country Tourer- Entered from a private collection- Extensively restored in 2001- A powerful Edwardian Tourer powered by a magneto-fed 5.2 litre four-cylinder engine- Rambler cars were guaranteed for 10,000 miles in 1913- Estimate: £30,000 - £40,000 (Without Reserve)A successful bicycle manufacturer, Thomas B. Jeffrey of Chicago, Illinois constructed his first prototype motorcar in 1897. Known as a Rambler, like its pedal-powered predecessors, the single-cylinder machine was progressively developed. Interest shown at the 1899 Chicago International Exhibition and Tournament and the first National Automobile Show in New York City convinced Jeffrey to acquire the old Sterling Bicycle Factory in Kenosha, Wisconsin during 1900 and sell his two-wheeler business to Colonel Albert Pope's conglomerate, the American Bicycle Company, the following year. Introduced in February 1902, the first Rambler production car was priced at $750. A single-cylinder model with tiller steering, it attracted 1,500 orders making the Thomas B. Jeffrey Company second only to Oldsmobile in the sales stakes. Twin-cylinder engines were adopted in 1905 and Rambler moved into the luxury market with a four-cylinder unit two years later. A fatal heart attack saw Charles T. Jeffrey take his father's place in 1910. Renamed Jeffrey in its founder's honour during 1914, the marque was purchased by Charles Nash of Nash Motors two years later. The last design to bear the Rambler moniker, the Model 83 was based on a substantial, 120-inch wheelbase ladder-frame chassis equipped with leaf-sprung suspension and rear wheel brakes. Rated at 42hp, its 318ci (5.2 litre) four-cylinder engine featured magneto ignition and was allied to three-speed manual transmission. Available in seven-seater Gotham Limousine, four-seater Coupe, 2/3-seater Roadster and 4/5-seater Touring guises (the latter two referred to as `Cross County'), every Rambler Model 83 was guaranteed for 10,000 miles in 1913. Finished in Brewster Green over Black with Black deep button upholstery, this particular example - chassis 32374 - was extensively restored during 2001. Nicely detailed, the Rambler sports handsome nickel brightwork, a single rear-mounted spare wheel, tool box mounted on the right running board, folding windshield, dual rear view mirrors, full set of side curtains stowed under the rear seat, robe rail on the back of the front seat, accessory speedometer and a horn mounted on the steering column. Used exclusively by its previous keeper for `brass era' touring events, the Model 83 had its engine attended to over the winter of 2013/2014. Benefiting from an electric starter and lighting, the Cross Country Touring car is rendered even more usable by the provision of an overdrive which enables it to cruise more easily on modern roads. Worthy of close inspection, this imposing Edwardian has formed part of a private collection for the past three years and is offered for sale with French Certificat d'Immatriculation (Carte Grise). Interested parties might like to know that Peter Anderson of www.importedvehicleregistration.co.uk has quoted £300 (inclusive of all DVLA fees) to UK register the Rambler.

1924 LaFayette Model 134 Coupe- Supplied new to the proprietor of a steam locomotive company in North Georgia and purchased from his son by the vendor- Extensively restored to as near original specification as possible at a cost of circa $200,000- A rival to the likes of the Rolls-Royce Springfield Silver Ghost and priced accordingly when new- 1 of just 441 Model 134 cars made during 1924 of all bodystyles- Designed by a group of ex-Cadillac engineers including the Scottish-born D. McCall White who masterminded its 5.7 litre V8 engineEstimate: £25,000 - £35,000 (Without Reserve)Founded during 1919 and based in Mars Hill, Indiana, the LaFayette Motors Company boasted the technical expertise of none other than D'Orsay McCall White. An expat Glaswegian, McCall White served as chief engineer to the Daimler Motor Car Company, D. Napier & Son (where he designed a Land Speed Record car) and Crossley Motors before emigrating to the USA. Personally responsible for devising Cadillac's first V8 engine, the Type 51, he later became the company's vice president and was one of three people entrusted with developing the V12 Liberty aircraft engine during World War One. Drawing upon his aeronautical experience, the 348ci (5.7 litre) V8 engine that McCall White created for the LaFayette Model 134 featured a hollow case crankshaft weighing just 30.5lbs, air-pressurised fuel delivery system (no need for an Autovac / vacuum tank), internally driven accessories using Morse type chains (hence the lack of external pulleys / belts), twin crankshaft-driven back-to-back water pumps, manifolding routed through the cylinder block and a dual exhaust system to the rear of the car which resulted in low back pressure. Fed by a multi-jet carburettor (another of his innovations), the sophisticated powerplant developed 100bhp @ 2,750rpm and was allied to three-speed manual transmission. Based around a substantial ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, worm and sector steering, fully floating back axle and rear wheel brakes, the Model 134 also incorporated thermostatically controlled radiator shutters (a distinct novelty at the time). Relocating to Milwaukee, Wisconsin when Charles Nash of Nash Motors acquired control in 1923, LaFayette nevertheless ceased production the following year. Available in Touring, Sedan, Coupe, Torpedo, Roadster and Limousine guises, a mere 2,267 Model 134 cars were produced. Competition amid luxury car makers during the 1920s was particularly fierce. For all its engineering excellence LaFayette struggled to poach customers from established giants such as Cadillac and Packard especially as the Model 134 was more expensive than the former's offerings and on a par price wise with the latter's; the Four-Door Coupe model costing a princely $4,300 in 1924. The survival rate for LaFayette Model 134 cars has been estimated at just one percent!Finished in Dark Green over Black with Red pinstriping and Grey cloth upholstery, this particular Milwaukee-built example - chassis 2978 - wears Four-Door Coupe coachwork by the Seaman Body Corporation (number 31178). One of a pair of Model 134 cars supplied new to North Georgian steam locomotive manufacturer James Bulan Glover (the other being a Torpedo), it remained in his family until entering the current ownership during 2001. Dry stored in a basement for the previous seventy years, the LaFayette was complete but in need of a full restoration. Displayed `as found' at the Nash Car Club of America's 2002 Grand Nashional meeting, it caused an understandable stir. The vendor estimates that acquiring and refurbishing the Model 134 has cost him some $200,000. Rewired, repainted, retrimmed and treated to a thorough mechanical overhaul, the work took NCCA member Ben Bliss over three years to complete. Undeniably handsome, the Four-Door Coupe body sports a distinctive, prism-like windscreen, LaFayette calormeter, integral luggage trunk, LaFayette Motors Corporation Milwaukee hubcaps and twin rear-mounted spare wheels. To the interior, the well-stocked dashboard is complimented by a wooden steering wheel, wooden window frames, nickel-silver door furniture and blinds to the rear windows. Sparingly used since its completion save for a few rally outings, chassis 2978 is quite possibly the finest Model 134 in existence. Offered for sale with French Certificat d'Immatriculation (Carte Grise), UK V5C Registration Document, FIVA Identity Card, bill of sale from Mr Glover's son (a distant relative of Teddy Roosevelt) and sundry paperwork.

1948 Diamond T Model 201 Pickup- Widely regarded as the 'Cadillac of Pickup Trucks'- Extensively restored to show standard and probably the best example in Europe- Hercules 'Super Service' 3900cc six-cylinder engine, 4-speed Warner T9 manual transmission and optional 62mph rear end- Estimate: £20,000 - £30,000 (Without Reserve)After a brief flirtation with passenger cars, Diamond T specialised in commercial vehicles from 1911 onwards. Renowned for making the 'Cadillac of Trucks', the Chicago-based company introduced its iconic Model 201 One-Ton in 1938. A so-called 'light duty' machine but engineered to the same standards as its 'heavy duty' siblings, the newcomer was based around a massive cruciform-braced ladder-frame chassis equipped with an extra rigid I-beam front axle, fully floating back axle, Lockheed hydraulic drum brakes, cast iron wheels and substantial leaf-sprung suspension (those at the rear containing thirteen leaves). Initially powered by a 205ci (3.4 litre) seven main bearing L-head six-cylinder Hercules engine, the Model 201 gained an enlarged 236ci (3.9 litre) Hercules 'Super Service' unit post-WW2. Three-speed manual Warner transmission was standard with a four-speed gearbox and high speed 62mph final drive ratio being optional. Imposing styling was a Diamond T hallmark, its products sporting imposing radiator grilles, sculpted wings and rakish cabs. Promoted as being 'all-truck' rather than having any passenger car DNA (a subtle dig at its rivals), the Model 201 could be had in Pickup, Panel Delivery or Stake Truck guises. Famously long-lived, some 7,000 had been sold by the time it was superseded by the comparatively unloved Model 222 for 1950. Finished in Diamond T Red over Black with White pinstriping and Brown simulated leather upholstery, this particular example - chassis 2014314 - is considered by the vendor to be 'probably the best and most correct Model 201 existing, certainly in Europe if not the world'. Reportedly restored using 'everything either new old stock or original including the correct wheels (most are adapted from the ones fitted to the larger six-wheeler trucks)', the Pickup was previously owned by David Pearson of Montrose, Colorado. Entering the current ownership during 2013 for $49,000, the Diamond T has since been registered in Cherry Valley, Illinois and France. Specified with such desirable options as the four-speed Warner T-9 manual transmission and 'high speed' 62mph final drive ratio, the Model 201 also boasts a renewed period correct wiring harness, single exhaust plus chrome extension, original three spoke steering wheel, factory overhead storage compartment, wind-out two-piece windscreen, stainless / nostalgic steel grille, fresh headliner, Diamond T mascot, passenger side utility locker, original-style driver's side mirror, 70mph speedometer and fog lamps. Definitively the nicest Diamond T Model 201 Pickup we have encountered, chassis 2014314 is offered for sale with French Certificat d'Immatriculation (Carte Grise). Interested parties might like to know that Peter Anderson of www.importedvehicleregistration.co.uk has quoted £300 (inclusive of all DVLA fees) to UK register the truck.

1951 Nash-Healey Roadster- 1 of only 104 Nash-Healey Roadsters bodied in alloy by Panelcraft (of which just 20 survivors are known to the Nash Healey Register)- Arguably, America's first post-WW2 sportscar pre-dating the Ford Thunderbird and Chevrolet Corvette - Potentially eligible for the Mille Miglia Storica and Le Mans Classic- An exciting restoration project and offered for sale with a brand new alloy cylinder head- European import duty paid- Estimate: £25,000 - £35,000 (Without Reserve)'I want to go on record right now to say that I have never driven a sportscar that handled better or gave the driver so much control in a power slide or spin' (Tom McCahill of Mechanix Illustrated on the Nash-Healey)Inspired by an impromptu meeting between Donald Healey and Nash Kelvinator CEO George W. Mason whilst they were crossing the Atlantic aboard the Queen Elizabeth in December 1949, the resultant Nash-Healey was hailed as 'the first American sportscar to be introduced by a major manufacturer since the 1920s'. Derived from the Healey Silverstone, its box-section, ladder-frame chassis featured independent trailing link front suspension, a Panhard rod-located rear axle and Bendix 'Duo Servo' four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a Nash Ambassador 3848cc OHV 'Dual Jet Fire' straight-six engine allied to three-speed manual plus Borg Warner overdrive transmission, the newcomer utilised a bespoke light alloy, higher compression cylinder head and twin SU carburettors to develop a quoted 125bhp and 210lbft. Bodied in aluminium by Panelcraft of Birmingham, the prototype Nash-Healey contested the 1950 Le Mans 24-hours. Finishing an amazing fourth overall in the hands of Tony Rolt and Duncan Hamilton, its success not only prompted George W. Mason to greenlight a limited production run but also presaged returns to the famous La Sarthe circuit in 1951, 1952 and 1953 which netted 6th, 3rd and 11th places overall respectively. Amazingly, the Nash-Healey that took the bottom step of the podium at the 1952 Le Mans 24-hours also claimed 7th place overall on that year's Mille Miglia! Assembled in Healey's Warwick factory, the first 104 Nash-Healey Roadsters sported Panelcraft aluminium bodywork. Tasked with restyling the entire Nash range for 1952, Pininfarina also took over responsibility for Nash-Healey construction endowing the two-seater with more flamboyant but heavier steel coachwork. The shipping costs associated with the Panelcraft cars had been high but those for the Pininfarina ones were even more costly. The impact on the Nash Healey's retail price was considerable and a mere 507 Roadsters and Coupes had been made by the time production ceased in 1954. The seventeenth car completed and one of just twenty Panelcraft-bodied survivors known to the Nash-Healey Registry, chassis N2017 is thought to have been supplied new in America. Resident there some fifty-seven years later, the Roadster was sold by renowned vintage and classic car dealer Hyman Ltd to Robasto Giuseppe of Turin for $70,000 on February 20th 2008. Imported into Italy with relevant duties paid by ABS Air Brokers Service SRL some four months later, the two-seater was untouched during Mr Giuseppe's custodianship. Still in need of restoration when it entered the current ownership on 28th May 2015 for _60,000, the vendor got as far as purchasing a brand new alloy cylinder head from Warren Kennedy of Healey specialist Classic Restorations and securing a certificate for obtaining a 'Vehicule de Collection' carte grise from the Federation Francaise des Vehicules d'Epoque before a change of plans intervened. Seemingly complete, chassis N2017 has the makings of a very rewarding project. Several Panelcraft-bodied Nash-Healey Roadsters have been accepted for the highly prestigious Mille Miglia Storica and, if suitably prepared, a Le Mans Classic entry might also be forthcoming. Offered for sale with State of Missouri Certificate of Title, Comunita Europea duties paid printout, FFVE Certificate and Republique Francaise Certificat D'Acquisition d'Un Vehicule Terrestre a Moteur, Peter Anderson of www.importedvehicleregistration.co.uk is happy to help a purchaser UK register the car.
