- Reportedly `restored to a very high standard' and `driving very well' - Maroon deep-button upholstery and larger 1861cc engine - Buff logbook, UK V5C and sundry other paperwork Further Info: Introduced in late 1921, the Austin 12 (later known as the 'Heavy 12/4') became a legend within its own production lifetime. In many ways a scaled-down version of the existing 20/4 model, it was based around a sturdy ladder-frame chassis equipped with drum brakes and all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension. Powered by a 1661cc sidevalve four-cylinder engine, the newcomer could be had with a variety of open or closed body styles. Updated in 1927, the 12 gained a longer-stroke 1861cc powerplant, higher scuttle and wider track. Renowned for its durability and dependability, the Austin has long held a special place in Vintage car circles. The Heavy 12/4 Saloon offered hails from October 1928 and therefore boasts the bigger of the two engines fitted. `TY 4292' is charmingly presented in Maroon over Black and trimmed in matching Maroon upholstery. The vendor informs us that the car has been restored to `a very high standard, and is driving very well'. It is now offered with such period niceties as rear window blinds, and the paperwork includes a buff log book in addition to the V5C.
Lot 4036
- 1 of 77 made with a mere 12 known to have survived - Well-known in Singer circles and treated to an extensive restoration - A former multiple concours winner with current ownership for c.34 years Further info: During the early to mid 1930s the rivalry between Singer and MG was notably intense with both marques distinguishing themselves at Le Mans and on countless trials held over the length and breadth of Britain. Aimed at the expanding six-cylinder sportscar market, the Singer 1.5 Litre Sports Tourer was introduced in 1933. Discernibly larger than its MG K1 equivalent, the newcomer was styled in-house by Eric Neale. With its prominent radiator grille, cut-away doors, full-flowing wings and sloping tail, the Singer bore quite some resemblance to Lagonda's contemporaneous M45. Based on a lowered version of its Fourteen sibling's ladder-frame chassis featuring all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel Lockheed hydraulic 13-inch drum brakes, the 1.5 Litre Sports was powered by a 1493cc OHC six-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. A spritely yet well-mannered car, it rode on 18-inch Rudge knock-off wire wheels and was capable of cruising at 60-70mph. Priced at £295 but only available during 1933 and 1934, just 77 1.5 Litre Sports Four-Seater Tourers were made of which a mere 12 are known to have survived. First registered in Glasgow on 23rd March 1934, chassis R2014 was purchased by the vendor, Geoff Gibson, from Paradise Garage some forty-five years later. Well-known in Singer circles, Mr Gibson subsequently treated the 1.5 Litre Sports to an extensive restoration. A former multiple concours award winner at shows around the country, `US 5285' has since developed a beautiful patina. Pleasingly understood to be a `matching numbers' car, the four-seater is described by the vendor as being in "very good overall" condition with regard to its engine, gearbox ,electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. Offered for sale for the first time in thirty-four years, this rare Singer is worthy of close inspection.
Lot 4056
- Finished in British Racing Green with Magnolia-coloured leather upholstery - Powered by a Rover V8 engine allied to five-speed manual transmission - Offered with build file, four-branch side-mounted exhaust and wire wheels Further info: Some 2,000 NG cars have reputedly been sold since 1979. Hand built in the traditional vein around a bespoke ladder chassis they employ MG running gear and are generally powered by either MGB engines or the venerable all-alloy Rover V8; which is in fact quite a bit lighter than the cast iron MG unit, as well as being more powerful of course. There was the option of having them factory built or acquiring them in kit form. The example on offer is a TC model powered by the Rover unit. The body is of boat tail design and finished in classic British Racing Green and trimmed in Magnolia-coloured leather. 'Q586 KKE' comes complete with build file, four-branch side-mounted exhaust and knock-on wire wheels, and the vendor currently classifies the bodywork, paintwork, V8 engine, five-speed manual gearbox and the car's electrical equipment as all being in 'good' condition. The odometer displays an unwarranted 18,200 miles.
Lot 4069
- Barker bodied and the only 20/25 of its type in existence - Commissioned in 1933 by the Greek government - Engine overhauled by Brunt's of Silverdale (Staffordshire) Further info: "The driver who has never handled a Rolls-Royce is likely to want to know wherein it differs from the general run of motor cars. That is a point it is impossible to deal with adequately in few words, but the principal impressions concern the extreme delicacy of control, the amazing flexibility on top gear, the silence and quality of the acceleration, and the fact that the engine is as quiet and smooth when the car is travelling at the maximum as it is at lower speeds." (Rolls-Royce 20/25hp Road Test by The Autocar, May 29th 1931). Introduced in 1929 as a stablemate to the larger Phantom II, the 20/25 was a natural development of its established 20hp model - Rolls-Royce's first 'owner driver' offering. Though very similar to its predecessor, the newcomer enjoyed a greater turn of acceleration and top speed, thanks to an increase in engine capacity from 3127 to 3669cc, which also brought the bonus of a reduction in fuel consumption. The OHV straight-six engine drove via a dry plate clutch to a four-speed manual gearbox equipped with traditional right-hand change (and from 1932 onwards, synchromesh on the top two ratios). The substantial ladder frame chassis was fitted with semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension all-round and servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes. The 20/25hp remained in production until 1936, by which time some 3,827 examples had been sold, making it Rolls-Royce's best-selling model of the period. Chassis GHA 9 was commissioned in 1933 by the Greek government. The country had been without a monarch since the late 1920s, but with moves afoot to restore King George II (the first cousin of HRH, The Duke of Edinburgh) to the throne, it was felt a suitable motorcar should be set in train. Barker was the chosen coachbuilder and the elected body style that of Open-drive Laundaulette - which in the Barker parlance of the time translated to Sedancalette de Ville. The chassis cost of £849 9s 9d was duly paid and the frame delivered to Barker & Co on November 21, 1933. It appears from the paperwork supplied with the vehicle that it was delivered to the Greek Embassy in Brussels via Ostend on February 15, 1934 - a voyage the factory chassis log informs us was organised through the AA. From the other items of accompanying paperwork we learn that the Panorama Bay Motor Company of Poole in Dorset sold 'AXH 158' (the car's original and current registration number) in 1990. Four years later it was apparently treated to a degree of restoration, not least a £1,947 engine overhaul courtesy of Brunt's of Silverdale in Staffordshire. The vendor acquired the Rolls-Royce in 2003, at which point the odometer was reading an unwarranted 35,860 miles (it now stands at 41, 985 miles). The following year he treated the 20/25 to new swivel pins and stainless steel exhaust system and currently describes the car's mechanical condition as 'very good', however some attention may be needed to the front nearside shock absorber. Apparently very original (and complete down to its 'Goshawk' scuttle plate), 'AXH 158' has been confirmed by the Rolls-Royce Enthusiast's Club as the only 20/25 of its type in existence. Its appearance on the market therefore provides an exciting opportunity for Rolls-Royce aficionados everywhere to tender for a unique and desirable motorcar of fascinating history.
Lot 4079
- 1 of just c.45 known survivors and extensively restored 1999-2004 - Current family ownership since 1980 and original engine / body - Rare and desirable Vintage Tourer with 3.2-litre straight-six engine Further Info: The 1920s witnessed Sunbeam win the French and Spanish Grand Prixs, finish second at Le Mans, set numerous Land Speed Records and cause Henry Royce consternation regarding the quality and refinement of its products. Introduced at the 1923 Olympia Motor Show, the 20/60 was based around a substantial ladder frame chassis equipped with leaf-sprung suspension (semi-elliptic front / cantilever rear) and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a 3181cc seven-bearing OHV straight-six allied to four-speed manual transmission, the newcomer was reputedly capable of over 70mph (coachwork permitting). Available in Tourer, Sports Model, Enclosed Limousine and Enclosed Landaulette guises, some 1,560 20/60s were made before production ceased during 1926. Though, today only 45 or so are known to have survived. First registered by Liverpool County Council on 24th June 1925, an accompanying continuation buff logbook shows that `KC 9684' belonged to D. Forbes Keir Esq. post WW2 and relocated with him from Wallasey to London during August 1951. Acquired by Thomas Edward Brown Esq. of Byfleet, Surrey - and later The Sunbeams, Tolleshunt Knights, Essex - some eleven years later, the 20/60 has been in the current family ownership since August 1980. An MOT certificate issued that same year gave the Tourer's recorded mileage as 41,827, while its odometer currently shows 43,700 miles. Part of a large private collection for the past thirty-five years, `KC 9684' was treated to an extensive refurbishment from 1999-2004. I.S. Polson carried out some early mechanical work but Arthur Archer of Dunmow completed the majority. Stripped to a bare chassis, the Sunbeam had attention paid to its engine (new bearings, pistons, timing chains, crack testing etc), gearbox, back axle (new half shafts), steering box, magneto, dynamo, starter, Autovac, water pump, Claudel Hobson carburettor, suspension, wiring, brakes, hubs and wire wheels. As well as its original straight-six powerplant (number 1286E), the 20/60 pleasingly retains its original Tourer body which was rejuvenated by a Rolls-Royce apprenticed craftsman whose CV includes projects for P&A Wood, Clark & Carter and J.D. Classics. Connolly leather supplied new Maroon leather hides that were fashioned into deep-button upholstery by Barton & Son of Luton, while Robert Smith Coach Trimming of Hemel Hempstead remade the double duck hood and sidescreens. Assorted invoices and handwritten notes on file suggest that the restoration cost in excess of £58,000 which may seem a modest sum given the extent and quality of the work but then again some of the labour was charged at £10 per hour! Having covered circa 1,800 post-refurbishment miles, more recent fettling has seen `KC 9684' treated to a relined clutch (2006) and overhauled radiator (2009). Starting readily and running well upon inspection - the vendor appearing to engage all four gears without difficulty - the Sunbeam now exhibits a gentle patina. Sporting an `Old Bill' radiator mascot, well-stocked wooden dashboard, rear-mounted luggage trunk, secondary Auster screen, Rotax head- / sidelights, `diver's helmet' rear lights and twin side-mounted spare wheels etc, the 20/60 is beautifully detailed. A decidedly handsome and imposing Vintage Tourer, this `Supreme Sunbeam' is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with fresh MOT certificate and history file containing a period instruction handbook, sundry restoration photos, numerous old MOTs (dating back to 1968) and myriad restoration bills / invoices.
