- Family owned for over 35 years - 80% restored, engine running, body sound - USA car, complete with comprehensive collection of parts Rolls-Royce of America Inc was established to bypass the swingeing import duty that had hitherto restricted its parent company's transatlantic sales. Operating from factory premises in Springfield, Massachusetts, the new concern initially built carbon copies of the famous 40/50hp model. However, as time progressed so its product became more attuned to the US market. The beautifully wrought ladder frame chassis and enviably smooth 7428cc straight-six engine were little altered but later cars featured a three-speed, centre gearchange manual transmission and left-hand drive (interestingly just 600 or so of the 1,703 Springfield Silver Ghosts completed were to LHD specification). Designed to woo existing Packard, Cadillac and Pierce Arrow customers who had little truck with the idea of a chassis only purchase, a catalogued range of Rolls-Royce Custom Coachwork was soon made available. The various designs were given British names and subcontracted to the likes of Amesbury, Biddle & Smart, Holbrook, Locke, Merrimac, New Haven, Smith-Springfield and Willoughby. Visually distinguished by its rakish windscreen, just twenty-five examples of the undeniably handsome six-light Berwick Sedan are thought to have been made. Rumoured to have previously belonged to an American peanut farmer, chassis S298PK was purchased by the vendor from Steve Lovatt of renowned marque specialist Ristes Motors during the late 1980s. Treated to a meticulous `body off, chassis up' restoration thereafter, much of the work was carried out by the vendor's son (an ex-Ristes' employee). Albeit, his former mentor was called upon to fully overhaul the engine (number 21984). Unfortunately, the refurbishment has yet to be completed and while considerable attention has self-evidently been paid to the body frame, paintwork, dashboard, wood veneer door cappings and running gear etc, the seat frames need re-upholstering and sundry other jobs completing. Recently returned to running order by Ristes, this rare left-hand drive Springfield Ghost cries out to be finished.
- Very rare 1933 model-year only tourer with period competition history - First owned by the vendor in the 1960's and reacquired in 1991 - Restored from the chassis up at he cost of over £100,000 Arguably the handsomest Riley 9 derivative, the two-door Lynx Tourer was only current for the 1933 season. Sporting half the door count of its successor not to mention an elegant 'disappearing hood', the short-lived model was notably rakish and low-slung. Powered by a 'sports' version of the Coventry marque's advanced 'twin-cam' four-cylinder 1087cc engine mated to four-speed manual transmission, the four-seater enjoyed a level of performance that belied its 9hp tax rating. Based around a ladder-frame chassis equipped with all round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and bias-adjustable drum brakes, the Riley was known for its crisp handling too. Built to special order complete with a bespoke dashboard, chassis 6021101 was collected from the factory by first owner Herbert Way Esq. A solicitor by profession, Mr Way was also a keen motorist and participated in several of the Riley Motor Club's 24-hour Rally and Reliability Trials (badges for which adorn the front of 'RV 3333'). An accompanying period photo of the Lynx in action shows some minor damage to the offside running board and one hypothesis is that safety concerns may have prompted Mr Way to commission the 'straight top' doors and pillar-mounted spotlight which it retains to this day. Remaining with its first keeper until 1956, the Riley was taken off the road and laid-up in a barn some eight years later. In between times the two-door Lynx briefly belonged to the vendor - then an art student - who ran it for a memorable summer before his father intervened. Advertised for sale in Motor Sport magazine by Andrew Booth of Orchid Cars, 'RV 3333' re-entered the current ownership during 1991 for the princely sum of £10,500. A long overdue 'ground up' restoration was begun later that decade. Renowned marque specialist Blue Diamond was entrusted with refurbishing the chassis, gearbox, front / rear axles, steering, brakes and suspension, while Hamlins Engineering of Bridgwater overhauled the original powerplant with Sprite camshafts and Brooklands inlet / exhaust manifolds etc John Foy Ltd of Royston was tasked with renovating the ash frame and repairing / renewing the alloy bodywork as well as re-trimming, re-wiring, re-painting and generally finishing the car. The project stalled when the vendor's wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer but recommenced during 2012 and was completed in time for his 70th birthday celebrations last January. Used on an often daily basis since then, the Riley has covered some 4,500 post-rejuvenation miles. Refinished in its original Maroon livery and having had over £100,000 lavished on it (aside from the cost of re-acquisition), 'RV 3333' is considered by the vendor to 'surely be the best Lynx in the world'. Thanks to the efforts of Mr Way's nephew, the Riley's history file not only contains a plethora of restoration invoices but also numerous period photos and even his uncle's 1933 RAC badge.
- Restored example with low chassis front axle fitted - Retaining it's Zenith carburettor, refurbished Autovac system - All weather gear and ready for touring "In brief, the two-litre Lagonda may be said to combine the lively performance of a sports car with the quiet manners and convenience of a tourer, the result being a vehicle which is a sheer delight to handle, while it will convey four people in comfort over long distances at a high average speed" (Autocar, 16th December 1927) Some two years after its 1925 Motor Show launch, the Lagonda 14/60 morphed into the Two-Litre High Chassis model. Built around a sturdy ladder frame chassis equipped with semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes, it was powered by the same 1954cc engine as its predecessor. Designed by Arthur Davidson, this imposing looking four-cylinder unit featured twin high-mounted camshafts and fully machined hemispherical combustion chambers. Developing some 60bhp @ 3,500rpm, it was mated to a four-speed manual gearbox and gave a top speed of between 70mph and 80mph. First registered on 28th July 1928, a letter from the Lagonda Club advises this example passed through the hands of Dobsons of Staines (Lagonda's outlet for trade-ins) in 1934, and by 1948, was owned by F R Ponsford-Jones of Co. Meath. He owned a number of Lagondas and decided to make one good one using parts from others in his collection. He fitted two-seat DHC coachwork which was replaced by touring bodywork around 1960. Fitted with a low chassis front axle and Z-Type rear axle, it retains its Zenith carburettor whilst benefiting from a refurbished Autovac system. Complete with all weather gear and ready for touring, PK 2611 is understood to have been restored on the Isle of Wight by an aircraft engineer around 1990 and has been in the current ownership since 2009. A previous winner of the Robbie Hewitt Trophy for best Lagonda at Brooklands, this lovely example is accompanied by a copy article of the 1940s build by Mr Ponsford-Jones, instruction book, restoration photographs, assorted invoices and a Swansea V5 document.
- Original 'matching numbers' car - Original Barker three-position open touring coachwork - Factory-fitted 4 wheel brakes The model upon which Rolls-Royce's reputation as makers of 'The Best Car in the World' was founded, the 40/50hp debuted at the November 1906 London Motor Show. A somewhat conventional yet beautifully executed design, the newcomer was based around a massive ladder-frame chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension, powerful rear wheel brakes and spiral-bevel final drive. Displacing 7036cc (7428cc from 1910), its superlatively smooth six-cylinder engine featured a seven-bearing crankshaft, full pressure lubrication and twelve sparkplugs (fed via a dual magneto / coil ignition system). Allied to four-speed manual transmission (though, a three-speed gearbox was utilised from 1909 to 1913), the sidevalve unit proved both wonderfully torquey and eerily quiet. With a shrewd eye for publicity, Managing Director Claude Johnson had the company demonstrator 'AX 201' (the first 40/50hp to be known as a Silver Ghost on account of its striking livery and silver-plated fittings) take part in both the 1907 Scottish Reliability Trial and an RAC scrutinised 15,000 mile endurance run immediately afterwards. Though made to journey between London and Glasgow no less than 27 times as part of the latter ordeal, a thorough post-event examination revealed that the car had suffered no appreciable wear to its engine, gearbox, rear axle or brakes. Indeed, the only parts that factory mechanics felt compelled to change were: a steering rod tie pin, steering lever ball tip, magneto driving joint, fan belt, petrol strainer and two front wheel pivot pins. Though, as the RAC report on the World Record breaking run stated: "Had the car been in the hands of a private owner no replacements would have been considered necessary". Possessing a legendary eye for detail, Henry Royce continued to develop the 40/50hp throughout its 18-year production life. Thus, late Silver Ghosts boasted considerably more horsepower (up from 48bhp at 1,250rpm to 80bhp at 2,250rpm) and higher top speeds (some lightweight bodied cars were timed at over 80mph) than their earlier brethren. Optional from late 1923 onwards, servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes became standard the following year. As stated by its accompanying copy chassis cards, this particular example - chassis number 35NK - was bodied as a Cabriolet de Ville (a.k.a. an Enclosed Drive Cabriolet) by Barker & Co. Among the renowned coachbuilder's most versatile and hence expensive designs, it could be configured in fully open, fully closed or Sedanca de Ville positions. Supplied new to Joseph Godfrey Esq. of 54 Porchester Terrace, London W2 on 3rd April 1924, the Silver Ghost returned to the factory some ten months later to be fitted with front wheel brakes and torque reaction dampers. Serving as Chief Liberal Whip in the House of Lords from 1923 to 1944, the Rt. Hon Lord Stanmore of Golding Manor, Laughton became the Rolls-Royce's second keeper in May 1928. Known to have belonged to Ayrid Holm Esq. of Kingsnorth, nr Rochester thereafter and to have sourced parts from the marque's Cricklewood service depot during the 1930s, chassis 35NK subsequently migrated to America. Reportedly restored by custodian Alfred Kohnle in the 1980s, the Silver Ghost then spent many years in the late Frank Cooke's collection. Known on both sides of the Atlantic for his expertise with Rolls-Royce and Bentley motorcars, Mr Cooke was the proprietor of The Vintage Garage in Massachusetts and doubtless worked his magic on the Cabriolet de Ville. Extensively toured by its penultimate long-term custodian Dr Norton J. Bicoll of Santa Fe (another well-known collector), the Silver Ghost returned back to England some years ago. Chassis 35NK has recently had £27,000 spent on her, including a re-trim (Green leather in the front with Beige West of England cloth to the rear) and a mechanical overhaul by a marque specialist. The Rolls Royce is said by the vendor to 'drive beautifully' and to be 'mechanically healthy'. Pleasingly retaining its original Barker coachwork, factory-fitted engine and running gear, this elegant and imposing Silver Ghost is being offered for sale entirely without reserve. Worthy of close inspection and a potential passport to all sorts of prestigious events, chassis 35NK is offered for sale with copy chassis cards, UK V5C Registration Document and sundry other paperwork.
