Lot 2019
This lovely matching numbers TA was built in the Spring of 1939; ie close to the end of the model's run. It is very smartly-presented in Red inside and out and benefits from a relatively recent nut and bolt restoration, during which every item is understood to have been refurbished or replaced - including the original body which was supplanted by a new Naylor's ash example. Owned by the same enthusiast for 24 years, it was then purchased from our Duxford auction in September 2011. Since then it has been largely garaged, but nevertheless treated to: a top end engine overhaul; gearbox, brake and cooling system service; and radiator recore. The vendor currently has no hesitation in classing the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission as all being in 'excellent' condition. Riding on smart chrome wire wheels, this former concours award-winning two-seater also sports: a rare original Midget mascot; replacement Bloomberg steering wheel; tonneau cover; aero screens; side wind deflectors; and original Shelley tools (housed in two trays). Among its claims to fame are featuring in the BBC's 'Strathblair' TV Series (original tape included) and being used to help launch the new MGF at the RAF Leuchars air base in Fife (photographs included). A fine example of the first, and arguably purist, member of MG's much-loved T Series lineage. Announced in 1936, the TA established the famous T-Series pedigree which would persist until the mid-1950s. Designed around a simple new ladder-type chassis frame with beam axles front and rear, it employed a modified Morris powertrain, including an overhead-valve 52bhp/1292cc engine and part-synchromesh four-speed gearbox. Visually and structurally, the bodystyle was an evolution of earlier MG Midgets. The top speed was up to 75mph, the ride was firm, but the entire driving experience was exhilarating. A total of 3,003 TAs were produced.
Lot 2075
- Purchased new by Ken Crawford and used in period competition- Restored to a high standard by current engineer owner- 1479cc six-cylinder engine with twin rear- mounted spare wheelsFollowing the vogue for small capacity six-cylinder sports cars of the early 1930s, MG produced the N-Type Magnette from 1934 to 1936. A development of the K & L-Types but replacing the simple ladder frame of the earlier cars with a tapering chassis, the model was to be the last of their 'Light Sixes'.According to the copy factory records accompanying the car, chassis NA/0448 was supplied with two-seat coachwork, finished in black with green interior, to renowned MG driver Ken Crawford via Messrs. C. Attwood & Sons of Wolverhampton on 20th October 1934 and registered JW 5703. The records note the car was fitted with NE engine modifications plus a number of other modifications including NE specification carburettors and distributor together with a raised compression ratio of 8.2:1. Clearly, Crawford had competition work in mind and he went on to use the car in a number of events during his ownership including the 1935 Land's End and Edinburgh Trials. Copy photographs and articles from Light Car magazine are included in the history file illustrating some of his exploits with it. The vendor, a life-long engineer, purchased the car in 1987 and set about a complete restoration to very high standards. This labour of love was to take nearly 30 years and the result is a true testament to his very high skills. Resplendent in its original immaculate black colour scheme with apple green interior. The car has been re-trimmed to the highest possible standard by one of the country's leading coach upholsters. The car is powered by a 1479cc six-cylinder engine and retains the twin rear- mounted spare wheel set up specified by Crawford. Offered with a beautifully presented, detailed history file and Swansea V5 document, this wonderful MG is worthy of the closest inspection. We are advised the car drives as well as it looks!
Lot 2084
Styled by Frank Callaby, the Triumph 1800 Roadster was a flamboyant mix of 1930s styling cues and boasted what was reputedly the last dickie seat to be incorporated into a production car. Bodied in 'Birmabright' aluminium alloy over ash (save for its steel pontoon front wings), the Roadster was underpinned by a tubular ladder-frame chassis featuring independent front suspension, a 'live' rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a 1776cc OHV four-cylinder engine (shared with the contemporary Jaguar range) allied to four-speed column-change manual transmission, the model was reputedly capable of 80mph. Superseded by a larger-engined version in 1948, just 2,501 1800 Roadsters are thought to have been made.The righthand drive example currently being sold is described by the vendors as 'sound' and is 'as original' aside of the sensible addition of an electric fuel pump. Full of charm, all 'GRK 452' needs is a willing new keeper to begin another chapter of spirited wind-in-the hair motoring.
Lot 2113
- 1 of just 12 AM90 chassis bodied to this design by Offord and the sole known survivor- Extensively restored during the current nine-year ownership with much work done by recognised marque specialists: Arthur Archer, Fopp d'Hane and Ian Polson- Large history file and enjoyed on numerous Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq Register rallies to Ireland, throughout England and other club events in France"The 1930 Le Mans race is often remembered for the struggle in which one Mercedes defeated the Blower Bentleys but was itself vanquished by the 6¢s, whereas the most telling, and also the most significant performance, historically, came from the brace of Talbot 90s which finished third and fourth, ahead of all but two Speed Sixes. Using a plain unsupercharged production engine of only 2? litres, with pushrod overhead valves, not overhead camshaft, and fitted with a single carburettor, they beat every Bentley below 6¢ litres, together with the 38/250 Mercedes, Earl Howe's supercharged twin-cam Alfa Romeo and a 5-litre Stutz. Somewhat naturally they won the Indice de Performance. The great Charles Faroux called their performance stupefiant, and he was right. Not only were the two Talbots tremendously fast and reliable, they were practically silent as well, making no more fuss than a rolled umbrella" (D.B. Tubbs, `The Talbots 14/45 - 110' Profile Publications).Capitalising on the success of the Fox & Nicholl Team Cars at Le Mans, Talbot are understood to have built some 216 examples of the 90. Available with a choice of wheelbase lengths, the model was underpinned by a substantial ladder frame chassis featuring all-round leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. Developing up to 93bhp, its advanced 2276cc straight-six OHV engine was allied to four-speed manual transmission (though, later versions could be had with a four-speed pre-selector gearbox). Potential buyers could choose from a range of factory bodystyles or employ the services of an independent coachbuilder. Regardless of the coachwork worn, most 90s were capable of the 90mph top speed that their name implied. An understandably popular choice with sporting motorists, the Talbot enjoyed continued competition success as a privateer entry at events such as the Irish GP, Ards TT and Brooklands thanks to the efforts of Bill Esplen ('GN 5872') and the Burt brothers ('GO 1568') etc.A genuine AM90 Speed Model, 'GP 6096' is understood to be one of just twelve such chassis to be fitted with Close Coupled Drophead Coupe coachwork by Offord and indeed the sole known survivor (although, a very similar car which was built under sub-contract by Carlton still exists). According to its copy factory build record, chassis 30000 was erected on 1st January 1931 and as such is accepted by the Vintage Sports Car Club as being of Vintage manufacture (which in turn allows it to run with other pre-1931 machinery in VSCC events). The AM90 is accompanied by a very large and interesting history file which chronicles the last six decades of its life. Thought to have belonged to Mr D. English during the mid-1950s, other keepers have included Mr Williamson, Mr John Gray, Mr Brian Fidler, Mr Peter Theobald, Mr Peter Sutcliffe, Mr Gillie Andrew, Mr Tim Wadeson, Mr Michael Manning and, since 2007, the vendor. Mr Gray was the Sunbeam Talbot Darracq Register's secretary and there is a photo on file of him showing none other than Georges Roesch over 'GP 6096' (the 90 engine was reputedly Roesch's favourite among all those he designed for Talbot). Mr Theobald took the Close Coupled Drophead Coupe to Rhodesia in 1968 and thereafter it relocated to South Africa. Mr Sutcliffe used the four-seater for a long distance rally during his brief tenure (1977-1978) and Mr Wadeson finally repatriated the AM90 to the UK in the early 2000s. Substantially improved during the seller's custodianship, chassis 30000 has benefited from a thorough engine overhaul (reground crankshaft with shell bearings, Arrow rods, new pistons, new timing gears and new oil pump gears etc) plus the installation of a down draught carburettor, freeflow exhaust and new dynastart bearings (the unit having been otherwise rejuvenated for a previous keeper) all of which was carried out by marque specialists Arthur Archer and Foppe d'Hane. Further boasting a 'New Zealand' cartridge oil filter conversion, solid state voltage regulator, correct complete new 'wet' radiator and halogen headlights, the Talbot was entrusted to marque specialist Ian Polson for a back axle refurbishment and new petrol tank. Foppe d'Hane restored the wooden body support frame as necessary before the coachwork was treated to a bare metal respray in Dark Blue. Re-upholstered in contrasting Light Blue, the interior is protected by a new Black double duck hood. Riding on fresh tyres, this rare and potent Roesch Talbot is only being offered for sale because a shoulder injury makes its right-hand manual gearchange awkward for the vendor. A delightful and seemingly very well sorted motorcar, it has conveyed him on numerous STD Register Tours around the UK and to Ireland and France etc. Offered for sale with the aforementioned history file, bills substantiating the work undertaken and an original first edition handbook and spares list, 'GP 6096' is summed up as 'a very rare and very usable car with wind-up windows and relaxed cruising ability'.
Lot 2114
- Understood to be a 'matching numbers' example but re-bodied in the style of a Vanden Plas Tourer as part of a major 'chassis up' restoration (1988-1995)- Continuous ownership history from 1944 to date (just four keepers during that time)- Offered for sale by the executors of the late C.J. Trigwell, history file chronicling the restorationIntroduced at the 1934 London Motor Show, the Speed 20 SC was among a new breed of Alvis cars that combined high performance (long a recognised marque virtue) with luxury and refinement. Based around a sturdy cruciform-braced ladder-framed chassis equipped with sizable fourteen-inch drum brakes and 'jelly mould' wire wheels, it boasted such technological novelties as independent transverse-leaf front suspension and synchromesh on all (four) forward gears. Powered by a smooth but free-revving 2762cc OHV straight-six engine featuring dual magneto / coil ignition, triple SU carburettors and an aluminium crankcase, the model was reputedly capable of 89mph. A corollary of its low-slung stance and long bonnet line, the Speed 20 SC proved an ideal canvas for the coachbuilder's art. Although, the majority were bodied to factory-approved designs by Charlesworth and Cross & Ellis, a select few received rather more bespoke treatment.Chassis 11940 was originally bodied as a limousine by Lancefield and supplied new to Albert Testemale Esq of Surrey on 23rd November 1934. Registered to John James Richardson Esq of Selby a decade later, the Alvis remained in his care for forty-four years. Barn stored for the last thirty-six of those, `BLE 892' was purchased from Mr Richardson's estate by Keith Taylor Esq during 1988. Having discarded the original coachwork because it was beyond economical repair, Mr Taylor embarked upon a major `chassis up' restoration. Able to carry out all the mechanical work himself, he commissioned a replacement Tourer body based on Vanden Plas' Speed 20SC design for the 1935 model year before advertising the car as an incomplete but running project in late 1992. Some three years and £24,000 later, new owner Chris Watson Esq finally succeeded in returning `BLE 892' to the road thanks to the assistance of marque specialist Red Triangle and Rob Green of Gloria Coachworks who fitted the more flowing Continental-style wings etc at the rate of £12 per hour! Now offered for sale by the executors of the late C.J. Trigwell Esq who bought it from Mr Watson via H&H's April 11th 2001 auction for £42,000, the Alvis appears to have been well kept ever since. Although its refurbishment was completed some twenty-one years ago, the overall impression is of a highly presentable motor car that the executors variously rate as being in `very good' (engine, electrics, gearbox, paintwork) or `excellent' (bodywork, interior trim) condition. An engineer and garage owner by profession, Mr Trigwell was also an Alvis enthusiast owning several examples of the marque. Understood to be a `matching numbers' car with regard to its major mechanical components, the four-seater also sports Brooklands aeroscreens, sidescreens and a tonneau cover. The history file comprises a copy of the original factory build sheet, continuation buff logbook (in Mr Richardson's name), restoration photos and numerous receipts / invoices.
