- Reputedly first registered by Lancashire County Council - Resident in Cook County, Illinois for thirty-eight years - Much recommissioning work by its German vendor According to the MG Car Club's online search facility (www.tregister.org), chassis TC1370 was built on 11th September 1946. Still wearing `GTE 467' number plates front and rear which suggest that it was first road registered by Lancashire County Council, the two-seater was later exported to the USA. Owned by Fred Robert Wilkin Jr of Cook County Illinois from June 1969 to October 2007, the MG is understood to have been his mount for numerous competition events. Entering the current German ownership in 2008, an invoice from Moss Europe dated the following January indicates that chassis TC1370 has since been treated to a new: fuel tank; brake master cylinder; hub and oil seal; 2 x brake lining sets; crankshaft oil seal; 2 x gearbox mountings; engine mount; 4 x damper link bushes and sump gasket etc. Finished in Dark Green with Beige upholstery, the MG is described by the vendor as being in `good' condition with regard to its engine, electrical equipment and four-speed manual gearbox, while he rates the bodywork as `good / original', the paintwork as `patinated but presentable' and the interior trim as `original style'.

- 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.
- 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.
- Prepared as a Category 1 historic rally car with rear roll cage - Works style hardtop, new springs and minilite-type alloy wheels - A rewarding project in need of finishing Further info : 'LFD 319E' is a righthand drive MKIII Midget that's been set up for Category 1 (ie pre-1968) historic rallying. It sports a rear roll cage that nestles underneath a Works style hardtop. New spinners retain equally fresh period-style wheels. The vendor can't vouch for the pedigree of the car's 1275cc A Series engine or four-speed manual gearbox, but currently classes its bodywork and Red paintwork as 'good' and the Black interior trim as 'OK'. The 1961 MG Midget was essentially a MKII Austin Healey Sprite in a different suit of clothes. It started life powered by a 948cc BMC 'A' Series engine. Braking was by drums all-round. Matters greatly improved with the MKIII version of 1966, not least in the engine compartment where the motor's capacity had been increased via 1098cc to 1275cc. Semi-elliptic rear springs had replaced the original quarter elliptic ones, and the front drum brakes had given way to discs.
- Subject to an extensive body & interior restoration C.2007 - Offered with a collection of spares including 4 steel wheels with tyres - History file includes photographs of the restoration & original instruction manual Further Info: Spencer Wilks was appointed General Manager of Rover in 1929, where he was joined by his engineer brother Maurice the following year. An early product of the dynasty was the P1, which debuted as the Rover 10 at the 1933 London Motor Show. It was offered in six-light Saloon or four-light Sportsman guise and with the option of a 1496cc engine (Rover 12) or 1577cc unit (Rover 14). The latter was an OHV straight-six, whose maximum output of 54bhp endowed the model with a top speed of c.69mph. The delightful Rover 14 Sportsman now offered is a 1936 example that's finished in the attractive combination of two-tone Blue bodywork and Blue interior trim. We understand 'CNA 849' was treated to an extensive restoration around 2007, ie three years prior to its acquisition by the vendor. He is now offering it complete with original instruction manual, photos of the restoration and a selection of spare parts.
PLEASE NOTE: The engine number of this lot is 755443 which according to the Porsche 356 and 912 Serial Numbers Reference Site (www.356a.com) is correct for a 1968-model year Karmann-bodied Porsche 912 Coupe. - LHD and imported from Florida by its previous keeper - Tan interior, Fuchs wheels, 5-speed manual, 1.6 litre engine - 1 of 5,598 Karmann-bodied Coupes made for the 1968 MY Further info: The 912 was Porsche's entry model for the 911 range and initially substantially outsold its six-cylinder sibling. Production ran from 1965 to 1969, during which in excess of 32,000 were manufactured. The vast majority were Coupes, 5,598 of which were bodied by Karmann for Porsche during the 1968 model year. Enthusiastic 912 customers included the German autobahn police. This tidy-looking left-hand drive 912 Coupe features Red bodywork that's teamed with a Tan-coloured interior. The Porsche was garaged at its sole UK registered keeper's Florida holiday home before journeying back across the Atlantic last year. It is currently displaying an unwarranted 63,000 miles and is regarded by the vendor as having `good' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, four-cylinder engine and four-speed manual gearbox. It represents a rare opportunity to acquire an apparently unmolested classic Porsche that's spent much of its life in a rust-free environment.
- In the current ownership since 1996 - Right-hand drive example displaying c.45,000 miles - Current MoT, belts expected to be replaced in time for sale Further info: Introduced at the 1975 Earls Court Motor Fair, the Pininfarina-bodied 308 GTS (Gran Turismo Spider) featured a removable 'targa' roof panel that stowed neatly behind the seats. Utilising a subtly strengthened version of the GTB's tubular spaceframe chassis, the newcomer employed the same all-round independent double-wishbone suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and rack and pinion steering. Powered by Maranello's magnificent 'quad-cam' 2926cc V8 engine mated to five-speed manual transmission, the 308 GTS was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.7 seconds and 150mph. This right-hand drive example carburettor model has been in the current ownership some twenty years during which time it has spent a period in storage in the South of France. Recent recommissioning work includes a repaint in blue whilst the belts are expected to have been replaced by the time of sale. Fitted with Compomotive alloys, the car registers some 45,000 miles and is offered with a Swansea V5, partial history. It is expected to possess a new MoT in time for the sale. Described as having "good", bodywork, paintwork and engine, the cream leather has been connolised.
- `Matching' chassis and engine numbers - Recently treated to an extensive, photographically-documented restoration - Offered with history file, heritage certificate and rear tonneau cover Further info: This matching numbers, home market Pickup was supplied new to BMC dealer Lookers of Manchester in February 1963. It was finished in Tweed Grey, trimmed in Tan vinyl and ordered complete with optional heater. Now 52 years old, it has recently been treated to a full restoration at the hands of established Mini refurbisher Colin Chapman. The work is in line with the accompanying Heritage Certificate, with the exception of the seats, which are contemporary Black Heritage items. The vendor unsurprisingly now classes the bodywork, paintwork, 848cc A Series engine and four-speed manual gearbox as 'excellent' and the interior trim as 'fair/good'. He is now offering this all-but-immaculate Mini complete with tonneau cover, history file, Heritage Certificate and photographic record of the work carried out. The original Lancashire registration number, '1507 TF', is available by separate negotiation. Equally suitable as personal transport with a difference, or for promoting a business.
- 1 of just 3,095 LHD Jaguar XK150 Fixed Head Coupes made - Desirable Special Equipment model and only one UK registered keeper - `Matching' chassis, engine and body numbers and fresh MOT certificate Further Info: 1 of just 3,095 LHD XK150 Fixed Head Coupes to leave Browns Lane, chassis S835947DN was completed on 23rd December 1958. A desirable `Special Equipment' model, its 3442cc DOHC straight-six engine was topped with an uprated B-type cylinder head and allied to four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission. Finished in Cream with Red upholstery and supplied new via Jaguar Cars New York, the XK150 is understood to have (a) spent quite some time in California and (b) belonged to the prestigious Blackhawk Collection before being repatriated by CAR Howard during Spring 1989. Acquired by its sole UK registered keeper shortly thereafter, `GSK 933' has reportedly spent the last twenty-six years avoiding wet or salt covered roads. Treated to new `J' spot headlights and replacement bumpers upon its return from the USA, more recent work is said to have seen the Fixed Head Coupe benefit from attention to its water pump, thermostat, cooling system, temperature/oil gauge, braking system, fuel pump and twin SU carburettors plus the fitment of a new stainless steel exhaust. Pleasingly able to boast `matching' chassis, engine and body numbers, `GSK 933' is described by the vendor as being in `good' condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, bodywork, electrical equipment and interior trim (while, he rates the paintwork as `fair'). Due to be freshly MOT tested ahead of sale, this much-loved XK150 is temptingly priced and offered for sale with history file including Jaguar Cars Ltd Heritage Certificate, copy service manual and 1991 valuation for £55,000.
