Supplied new by Henlys in late 1934, this well-travelled SS1 is fresh from long-term ownership and appears to only need some light recommissioning.Forerunner of the 'Jaguar' marque, 'SS' originally stood for the Swallow Sidecar & Coachbuilding Company, which had been founded in Blackpool, England by William Walmsley in 1922. The company branched out into motor manufacture in 1926, its first major success being an attractive sports saloon on the Austin Seven chassis. The design was the work of Walmsley's business partner, William Lyons, whose future Jaguar creations would confirm his reputation as one of the British motor industry's most gifted stylists. The SS1, launched in 1932, is a close-coupled coupé based on the Standard Ensign 16hp. The chassis and body were designed by Lyons; a long bonnet, tiny passenger compartment and helmet-type front wings imply the ultimate in high performance of the time and this is what ultimately created a blueprint for Jaguars of the future, combining sporting good looks with a better-than-average specification. Indeed, so successful was Lyons' new venture that production of Swallow-bodied cars ceased altogether in 1933, and SS Cars Limited was formed, initially as a subsidiary of the Swallow sidecar-building business.For 1934 the SS1 gained a new wide-track chassis and slightly enlarged Standard engines of 2,143cc and 2,663cc, while the body - now available in four different configurations - underwent yet another restyle. In this, its final form, the SS1 remained in production until 1936, by which time 2,503 examples of this ultimate version had been made.The final assembly of this Swallow Sports One (SS1) Tourer on to its Standard Motor Company rolling chassis (#245816) was completed on the 17th December 1934 and, as a late 1934 Model, it benefited from a wider track and a synchromesh gearbox. Finished in Birch Grey with a green interior and a green soft top and powered by a 2,663cc 68bhp straight-six. It was despatched to Henlys, registered MG 3624 and onward to a, rather proud we imagine, Mr L Garton of Surrey.Within the history file there is a ‘Buff’ logbook which lists a further four owners, the last one being a Mr Michael Roberts of Huddersfield, who appears to have written a running commentary on the maintenance of the car from 1981 until 1985. The car at this point was painted red, so presumably had been refinished between 1934 and his purchase.There appears to be a small gap in the car’s history until 1994/5 when it was exported to Germany when its keeper is listed as Herr Frederick Rausch of Langscheid. There is a raft of invoices for works completed between then and c.2008 along with some photographs detailing what looks like an engine rebuild. At this point the car carried the registration plate MK 06333. The SS then returned to the UK and joined a large private Collection, where it remained until recently. We are unsure of exactly when the car’s current silver and silver grey two-tone finish was applied, but it still presents well today. The odometer is reading 8,692 miles which we assume is 108,692 but can’t warrant.The lovely period interior is trimmed in Burgundy Leather with Art Deco ‘sunburst’ door cards and sports its original steering wheel and dashboard including the combined 100mph speedometer and 5,000rpm tach. Externally, the car is just what you would hope to find with decent silver/silver grey paintwork, running boards, chrome wire wheels wrapped in Firestone ‘whitewall’ tyres, a fold-down windscreen, big Lucas 165 headlamps and a chrome badge bar with an early AA badge.The SS is supplied with a large A4 history file containing details of previous keepers, old MOTs etc. and, as mentioned earlier, a lot of information from Herr Rausch during his ownership. Having been in storage for several years, the car will require a certain amount of recommissioning and we invite and encourage interested parties to view this lovely 1930s Tourer and form their own opinion.SpecificationMake: SWALLOWModel: SS1Year: 1934Chassis Number: 248516Registration Number: MG 3624Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 248501Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 8692 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Burgundy LeatherClick here for more details and images
One of only two Vanden Plas Allweather Tourers built as a special-order for His Highness the Jam Sahib of Nawanagar, an important 'Maharaja' car.Lanchester displayed an impressive array of cars at the Olympia Motor Show in October 1930, however, just weeks later financial troubles culminated in the company’s bank calling in its overdraft of £38,000 forcing immediate liquidation of the company’s assets. A buyer was sought by the bank and, given the company’s proximity to BSA’s Armourer Mills in Sparkbrook, a sale to BSA seemed a perfect fit. The acquisition was completed in January 1931 for just £26,000, significantly lower than the value of the firm’s assets, however, despite promises to the contrary, BSA aggressively asset-stripped the Lanchester factory and moved production to Sandy Lane in Coventry, the home of Daimler.George Lanchester’s services were retained as a Senior Designer with Frank becoming the Sales Director and the reborn company’s first new model, the Lanchester Eighteen was designed by George but, in reality was a version of the Daimler Light Twenty as was to be the case with the following models.Lanchester’s customers were particularly loyal and weren’t impressed with, what we would now call, 'badge engineering'. One fiercely loyal customer was His Highness the Maharajah Ranjitsinhji, the Jam Sahib of Nawanagar (known to his friends as Ranji). Ranji fell in love with the Lanchester marque when he went to play cricket in India in the early 1900s, during the days of the British Raj. He befriended Lanchester brothers Frederick and George, who were the first to manufacture an all-British car in 1896 and shared their enthusiasm for this new form of transport. He bought his first Lanchester, a 9kW two-cylinder model, in 1904 and after that, whenever a new model was introduced, at least one was shipped to India to add to his collection.We have no record of Ranji’s expanding fleet of Lanchesters (no doubt there will be one somewhere) apart from #3462, a 1936 Daimler V-type chassis bodied by Vanden Plas and 'dressed' as a Lanchester which was gifted to Ranji’s great nephew, Maharaja Durgapratapsinh, as an 18th birthday present in 1964 and which came up for auction in New Zealand in 2010.The arrival of World War II changed everything and Lanchester look-alike, Daimlers, were no longer steaming their way across the Indian Ocean. However, in 1946, Ranji felt the need to add a couple of more cars to his fleet. The war-hardened management at Daimler were not really in the mood to start painting cars in Cambridge Blue (all Ranji’s cars were painted in that colour as that’s where he went to University) and have their diminished number of time-served craftsmen spend time creating special grilles etc. to turn their DE 27s into a Lanchester model that never existed but, inevitably, they capitulated as long as Ranji ordered four.Four DE 27, 4-litre, six-cylinder Daimlers (coded LE27) were duly commissioned with two of them, chassis numbers #51049 and #51050, being bodied by Vanden Plas as ‘Allweathers’ (Body nos. 4031 and 4032) and LE27, -#51050, is the car we are privileged to be able to offer today.We now move forward over 40 years when it appears that #51050 returned to the UK and was first registered as KYM 544 on 20/09/88. It was subsequently purchased by Gerry Wheeler, our vendor’s late father on 1/02/2008 and there is a photograph within the history file of the car on a trailer, finished in cream and red, and looking a bit sorry for itself. There followed a gentle restoration to Gerry’s particularly high standards over several years returning the car to top form prior to it joining the family’s fleet of very impressively-presented vintage and PVT cars available for special occasions, birthdays, proms, and weddings etc.As you can see from our images, the Lanchester has been returned to Cambridge Blue with Royal Blue wings and detailing and a matching soft-top. The interior has been fully retrimmed and re-upholstered in a delightful pastel blue leather and is now ‘Maharajah’ quality. With a fleet of around 20 early cars and having fully restored it, all maintenance and servicing requirements were carried out in-house.The car is accompanied by its current V5C, old insurance and DVLA documents, a variety of MOTs with the oldest from 1988, wiring diagrams, correspondence and a number of photographs.We understand that #51050’s LE27 Allweather twin sister #51049 was shipped to the USA in the 1990s and, assuming it still survives, it would be wonderful to reunite them at Pebble Beach one day. We invite and encourage your inspection of this rather special ‘Maharajah’ car to appreciate the quality on offer.SpecificationMake: LANCHESTERModel: LE27Year: 1945Chassis Number: 51050Registration Number: KYM 544Transmission: pre selectorEngine Number: 1254778Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Pastel Blue leatherClick here for more details and images
Supplied new to the UK, subject to a 25-year restoration and one of a few North American cars with English coachwork to survive.The McLaughlin Motor Company’s place at the very dawn of motoring is a fascinating, little known story of one of the few car makers who literally started with horse power. Founded by Irish émigré Robert McLaughlin in Enniskillen, Canada in 1869, a manufacturer of carriages of the highest quality. In 1877, he moved his growing business to Oshawa where he established the Oshawa Carriage Works, later known as McLaughlin Carriage. His sons George and Sam also became involved in the business, and George later served as Vice President of General Motors Canada. Interestingly, eldest son John became a chemist, started a soft drink company in Toronto, and invented Canada Dry ginger ale!In 1907, the company diversified into building automobiles, and in September of that year Robert McLaughlin signed a 15-year contract with Buick Motors. These cars, with their Buick powertrains, were then sold under the brand-name Buick-McLaughlin, with coachwork by the Canadian craftsmen. The first McLaughlin car was produced in 1908 and in 1918 the entire McLaughlin car business was sold to General Motors of Canada. A smart move in light of Britain’s high tariff barriers in protection of the domestic industry from America's low-priced mass-produced cars. The other American motor industry leaders, in a cunning masterstroke, also circumnavigated these high duties via their Canadian sister companies. By 1923 Canada had the world's second-largest automotive industry, an important legacy which is largely unknown, even to the keenest of enthusiasts, perhaps due to the few cars left today to represent this achievement.So, with the history lesson over, we come to this fabulous car, a true survivor, that had the temerity to cross the Atlantic and take on the absolute symbol of British Imperialism, the Rolls-Royce. Understood to have been delivered new to the UK, it was bodied by the Elkington Carriage Co. of Chelsea. Surprisingly, for a limousine, the car withstood the Great Depression and survived the military and civilian conversions of such cars during the war unscathed. Little is known of the car’s early history, presenting a fabulous opportunity for an amateur motoring historian to go sleuthing, until it was discovered in the 1960s in the South London suburb of Crystal Palace. Enthusiast, Ian Pratt, bought the car in 1977 and a methodical 25-year restoration to the very highest of standards was to commence. Completed in 2002, the car’s condition today reflects the quality that only patience and time can give, the folder of pre-restoration photographs on file is fascinating.Over the following 18-years the car travelled some 2,700 miles, and it was bought by our vendor in 2020, joining a small but varied collection. With a year to go until its centenary, allowing plenty of time to plan a celebration, the car is presented to auction with a history file that includes the aforementioned photographs, a myriad of documents and the V5C.Keenly estimated, we can think of no other motor car of comparable historical importance that can transport a gang of chums to the pub in comfort at a century not out.SpecificationMake: BUICKModel: LIMOUSINEYear: 1924Chassis Number: 60259Registration Number: DY 2320Transmission: ManualEngine Number: X3159 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 2750 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Cloth/LeatherClick here for more details and images
A high-quality, powerful Edwardian touring car - which has been completely restored in recent years - ideal for Veteran Car Club and Vintage Sports-Car Club Light Car and Edwardian events.Although long since departed, Wolseley was one of Britain's foremost car makers throughout the Edwardian period and into the 1920s, even though it was originally founded by Irish-born Frederick York Wolseley in Sydney, Australia in 1887 to manufacture sheep-shearing equipment. Two years later a subsidiary was set up in Birmingham, England where works manager, Herbert Austin, would be responsible for the first Wolseley motor car, a three-wheeler built on Léon Bollée lines, in 1896.Early Wolseleys featured horizontal engines, but it was with the arrival of vertical-engined multi-cylinder cars in the Edwardian era that Wolseley earned its reputation for finely engineered, smooth and powerful transport. By this time, Herbert Austin had left to pursue his own career and his place was taken by John D Siddeley whose own company, taken over by Wolseley in 1904, had been making vertical-engined cars based on the French Peugeot. Siddeley forged ahead with an ever-expanding range of vertical-engined models which, for the next few years, were marketed under the 'Wolseley-Siddeley' name, reverting to plain 'Wolseley' after Siddeley's departure in 1911. By now the company was among the leading British car makers, active also in such diverse fields as commercial vehicles, marine and aero-engines, and other engineering activities. Wolseleys had Royal patronage – HM Queen Alexandra had several of the marque, and they were exported in large numbers to Australia, Canada, India and New Zealand. Wolseleys were also built under licence by the Wolsit company in Italy. Operations at Crayford ceased in 1908, but the Adderley Park factory was extended several times and was one of the largest car factories in Europe.The car offered here (20331) is an example of Wolseley's 4,961cc, six-cylinder, side-valve engined 24/30hp, an up-market model produced between 1911 and 1915. It is one of a number of barn find, early Wolseleys unearthed in Canada in the early 1960s by Charles G. Neville and the whole story is recounted in Neville's book, Wolseleys in Canada 1900-1920. Chapter 15 of the book deals with the discovery of 20331, its rescue from the barn, research into its early history and the next 30 years. The car's first owner was a Dr Oscar Pelham Edgar, Head of the French Department, Victoria College, University of Toronto and it was sold some 15 years later to the Bowyers family of Erskine Avenue, also in Toronto, and this fascinating story is well-documented by Charles Neville.He was to own the car until 2008, when it was believed to have been purchased by Richard Eastmead (ex-President of the Veteran Car Club of GB - VCC) who, we understand, partially restored the Wolseley (chassis, axles, engine, gearbox and steering box etc.). The restoration was finished by the car's previous owner with much of the ash frame being restored/replaced, a new steel body formed and finished in Midnight Blue, the interior superbly trimmed in button-back Navy Blue leather and all finished with a new hood and tonneau cover. When purchased by our vendor around a year ago, the carburettor needing setting up as the car was not running cleanly, however along with a number of other small jobs this has been attended to and it now runs particularly well. It's fitted with a transmission brake which is foot-operated, aided by a hand-operated brake lever and, we understand, the car now stops as well as it goes. Our vendor has enjoyed this venerable Wolseley on local events and trips to the pub, but a change of plans means that it's now available.BF 9725 is a fine Edwardian touring car, ideal for Veteran Car Club and VSCC Light Car and Edwardian events, and very sensibly-guided considering the quality and versatility on offer.SpecificationMake: WOLSELEYModel: M6 24/30HPYear: 1913Chassis Number: 20331Registration Number: BF 9725Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 5500Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Blue leatherClick here for more details and images
A well restored and delightful example of the 1930s Morris Ten Van featuring a 1275cc A-Series engine.Introduced in 1932, the Morris Ten stole a march on many of its rivals by virtue of its superior Lockheed hydraulic brakes. The 1,292cc four-cylinder side-valve engine drove through a 3-speed gearbox (with synchromesh from 1934 and four speeds optional) and in most respects, the Ten was entirely conventional. It was also extremely successful, helping Morris establish a commanding presence in the increasingly important 10hp market sector particularly in the commercial sector where the Ten van and pick-up trucks were ideal for small businesses and high-street traders.This delightful 1934 example has been with our vendor for the last 18 months and has been used as a rolling billboard for his construction company. The previous keeper owned the van for 9 years, during which time it attended many shows and, as can be seen from the photos won a few awards, showing the quality of its older restoration. Sadly, there is no history file as such or detail of the restoration which we believe was around 12 years ago, and looking around the van nothing was left untouched at that time. The original side-valve powerplant was upgraded to an MG Midget 1,275cc engine which has certainly helped the little Morris keep up with modern traffic and we are told by our vendor that it will happily skip along at 40/45 mph although more than that may be a little optimistic with standard brakes - always remember if you can't stop, AVOID!The fitting of interia reel seat belts further enhances the modern approach to the van and the interior has also not been left behind, with the seating having been refreshed at some point and the door cards up-dated. All in all this is a wonderful little package that could enhance any business and represents a great opportunity to acquire an all up together light commercial van from the 1930s. The very keen estimate of only £10,000 - £12,000 could be some in expensive fun.SpecificationMake: MORRISModel: 10 VANYear: 1934Chassis Number: 34T31778Registration Number: APP 604Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 12V588F/H1639Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 23000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images
