1959 Jaguar MKI 3.4 M/OD Ex George FormbyMake: JaguarModel: MKIYear: 1959Mileage: 71506VIN: S976920DNConfiguration: Right Hand DriveRegistration: GF2Transmission: manualThis late Jaguar MkI has quite a story attached to it. Its first owner was a certain George Formby, the much-loved entertainer of the 1930s and 1940s most famous for his ukulele playing. He bought the Mist Grey with red leather upholstery 3.4-litre car from Woodhead's Garage in Blackpool during 1959, and transferred his personalised plate, GF2, onto it. Not long afterwards, on August Bank Holiday 1959, George and wife Beryl were driving along the A47 just past King's Lynn, heading for Great Yarmouth where George was appearing at the Windmill Theatre. At East Winch, an Austin A30 turned right while the Jaguar was overtaking, and the two cars collided. The Formbys were taken to hospital in King's Lynn suffering from shock. At the subsequent court case, the A30 driver was found guilty of careless driving, with George paying tribute to the Jaguar's stopping abilities, thanks to it having disc brakes on all four wheels. "I hadn't an earthly chance of avoiding him... it's lucky I have a car with terrific braking power," he said of the Jaguar while giving evidence. However, despite this accolade, it was the end of George's ownership of the MkI. He traded the damaged car in for a new Sherwood Green Jaguar MkIX from Mann Egerton in Norwich. An allowance of £1425 was given for the damaged MkI, which was then repaired and sold on. The Jaguar was subsequently re-registered but taken off the road during 1968. However, after a few decades, it was rescued and reunited with its 'GF 2' numberplate in 2002. Its restoration ran to 2500 hours over a period of six months. The current mileage is shown as 71,506 miles. The car comes with several items of Formby memorabilia including a biography which looks at the East Winch incident in considerable detail, a DVD about George Formby's Norfolk, a pair of sunglasses worn by George in 1949, and George's race card from the Manchester Races Whitsuntide Meeting in May 1958, plus other period items such as a box of Gee's Linctus Pastilles, Ronson lighter accessories, a purse of old coins, and a Jack Powles and Company brochure for Norfolk holiday boat hire. Documents relating to the Jaguar include an owner's handbook for the similar Mk2, as well as a workshop manual for the MkI. Although an older restoration, the Jaguar generally in very good order and is the most sought-after 3.4-litre manual with overdrive variant. The interior is especially nice, with just light patina to the red leather seats and walnut veneer in very fine order throughout. The car will require some attention to the engine to get it running, however. The 'GF 2' numberplate is non-transferable and thus will need to stay with the vehicle.
1967 Austin-Healey Arkley SSMake: AHModel: Arkley SSYear: 1967Mileage: 30702VIN: HAN965108Configuration: Right Hand DriveRegistration: OUY100ETransmission: manualIf you're wondering what an Arkley SS is, you're probably not alone. This little-known conversion for MG Midgets or Austin-Healey Sprites was designed by British racing driver John Britten in 1969 as glassfibre front- and rear-end replacement body sections, intended to be reminiscent of a Morgan. When initially offered, the Arkley conversion allowed rusty 'Spridgets' to be given an extra lease of life thanks to the fitment of the glassfibre panelling manufactured by the Lenham Motor Company in Kent. The lighter bodywork also improved performance over the original cars. Production of the kits continued until 1995. Around 900 Arkley SS conversions were sold, albeit without all of them necessarily being built up, especially when original Midgets and Sprites started to become more valuable as classics. This example, with an interesting number plate, has a 1275cc Austin-Healey Sprite as its basis, registered in March 1967. The odometer shows 30,702 miles and 13 former registered keepers are recorded on the V5C. Included in the history folder are the present and some previous V5Cs, the last MoT certificate from 2018 (which expired in May 2019; the vehicle is now exempt) plus ones from 2003 to 2014. There are also assorted tax discs and various invoices for work carried out over a number of years, with more recent jobs being a new oil/water gauge fitted in 2020, and a new battery plus some carburettor work during 2018. A spare set of keys (with what must be a rare Arkley SS keyring) is included. While the car's body has some age and wear marking and paint imperfections, this Arkley SS seems solid and usable overall.
