‡ By David Wynne a limited edition silver sculpture 'The Leaping Salmon', maker's mark of JM over MG, London 1980, also signed with his device DW and edition number 20/25H, modelled as three conjoined salmon, on a hexagonal hardstone base, with a loose plaque inscribed ' The Leaping Salmon, David Wynne', in a wooden carrying case, with the original certificate height on plinth 31cm. Provenance: Mr Alan Mann, and thence by descent to the current owner. As the certificate is in an original House of Hardy envelope it is possible that the sculpture was purchased through House of Hardy, Pall Mall, London. David Wynne (1926-2014) began his professional career as a sculptor in 1950. one of his most famous sculptures is the 'Boy with Dolphin', which stands in Cheyne Walk, London.

1962 MGA Mk 2 Coupe, UK RHD, 1622 cc. Registration number ACK 588A. Chassis number GHD2/106040. Engine number 16 GCUH5904. To quote the company's own advertising, the MG A was the 'first of a new line'. Launched at the Frankfurt Motorshow of 1955, it owed its modern streamlined design to the body Syd Enever had created for George Philips' 1951 TD Le Mans car, and featured a chassis penned by Roy Brocklehurst and power from a 1489cc version of the straight-four BMC B Series engine, as found in the MG Magnette. In 1959 the capacity was increased to 1588cc. A total of 101,081 MG As were sold between 1955 and 1962, most of which were exported. The engine size was increased again to 1622 cc by increasing the bore from 75.4 mm to 76.2 mm for the 1961 Mark II MGA. The cylinder head was also revised with larger valves and re-engineered combustion chambers. Horsepower increased to 90 bhp. It also had a higher ratio 4:1 rear axle, which made for more relaxed high-speed driving. An inset grille and Morris Mini tail lamps appearing horizontally below the deck lid were the most obvious visual changes. 8,198 Mark II roadsters and 521 coupés were built of which only 219 were RHD UK, 168 in 1961 and only 51 in 1962. Road & Track magazine reviewed the MG A 1600 Mark II in the September 1961 issue and reported an estimated top speed of 105 mph and a 0-60 acceleration of 12.8 seconds. ACK is therefore a pretty rare machine that was originally built over the 8th and 9th of January 1962, being dispatched on the 17th. It was in Old English white with a red interior and disc wheels. First registered in Lancashire on a cherished number of 15 TJ (now on a Land Rover) on the 1st of June 1963 (hence the DVLA age related number plate as it would have been a six-digit number). On the 29th May 1964 Andrew Bell of Blackburn traded in a Ford Consul for it at a cost of £695. He and his family were to own it until our vendor bought it in 2015. The vast history folder shows Bell living in Bahrain in the mid 1980's and instructing Naylor Brothers of Shipley to undertake a full concours restoration in 1986/87, including the fitting of wire wheels. The paperwork is very detailed as to the works involved and state that at this time the mileage was some 35,000. It then lived a very pampered life until he moved to Arizona, USA in circa 2010 when the mileage had only risen to 42,468 miles; he obtained a Heritage Certificate in this year. The Arizona certificate of ownership shows Anne Bell at the same address, presumably his wife, and our vendor bought it from her in 2014, having it imported in 2015. At this time the car was MOT'd at 42, 583 miles and has been MOT'd every year since, in June 2019 it had risen to 44,028 miles. It is only being sold as our vendor is restoring a classic yacht. Sold with the V5C, various MOT's, the import documents, a vast wealth of previous receipts, a photograph of it in 2007 with a badge bar fitted (detached but with the car). The only non-standard fittings are the wire wheels (1986) and an electric fan and oil cooler fitted in the USA. Spicers can highly recommend this Coupe, it has only had three owners, (one from 1964 until 2014), it has the original interior, the restoration by Naylors is a credit to their workmanship.
1961 MGA LHD 1600 MkI, 1588 cc. Registration number 201 UYU. Chassis Number G-HNL 95461. Engine number 16GA – U – H26669. The MGA replaced the MG TF 1500 Midget and represented a complete styling break from MG's earlier sports cars. Announced on 26 September 1955[3] the car was officially launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show. A total of 101,081 units were sold through the end of production in July 1962, the vast majority of which were exported. Only 5869 cars were sold on the home market, the lowest percentage of any British car The MGA design dates back to 1951, when MG designer Syd Enever created a streamlined body for George Philips' TD Le Mans car. The problem with this car was the high seating position of the driver because of the limitations of using the TD chassis. A new chassis was designed with the side members further apart and the floor attached to the bottom rather than the top of the frame sections. A prototype was built and shown to the BMC chairman Leonard Lord. He turned down the idea of producing the new car as he had just signed a deal with Donald Healey to produce Austin-Healey cars two weeks before. Falling sales of the traditional MG models caused a change of heart, and the car, initially to be called the UA-series, was brought back. As it was so different from the older MG models it was called the MGA, the "first of a new line" to quote the contemporary advertising. There was also a new engine available, therefore the car did not have the originally intended XPAG unit but was fitted with the BMC corporate B-Series type allowing a lower bonnet line. The MGA convertible had no exterior door handles, however the coupe had door handles. It was a body-on-frame design and used the straight-4 "B series" engine from the MG Magnette saloon driving the rear wheels through a four-speed gearbox. Suspension was independent with coil springs and wishbones at the front and a rigid axle with semi-elliptic springs at the rear. Steering was by rack and pinion. The car was available with either wire-spoked or steel-disc road wheels. In May 1959 the standard cars also received an updated engine, now at 1588 cc producing 79.5 bhp. At the front disc brakes were fitted, but drums remained in the rear. Externally the car is very similar to the 1500 with differences including: amber or white (depending on market) front indicators shared with white side lamps, separate stop/tail and indicator lamps in the rear, and 1600 badging on the boot and the cowl. 31,501 were produced in less than three years. According to the accompanying Heritage Certificate UYU was dispatched form the factory on the 12th July 1960 as a black car with red interior and grey hood. It was exported to the USA and by 2005 was in New Mexico. In 2015 Stuart Skimming of Dumfries imported it and sold it to our vendor as a restoration project. A serial restorer he took the body off, rebuild/replaced the running gear and brakes, including added a servo, the engine was dismantled and new rings and shells fitted to factory specs (the condition of the engine lead him to believe the 36,000 on the speedo was correct). A NOS radiator was fitted. The body required two patches to the lower rear wings where they meet the sills, apart from this the body is original with aluminium bonnet, boot and doors. It was resprayed Chariot Red with black leather seats and a new hood; a new speedo was fitted as were 72 spoke chrome wire wheels. This was completed by October 2016 when it received its first MOT and was registered with DVLA. Today the mileage is less than 70 miles as he likes the challenge of a restoration, not the driving of older cars. Offered for sale with the V5C, MOT’s, Heritage Certificate and the USA paperwork. This well sorted MGA now needs a custodian who will enjoy driving it.
1952 MG YB, 1250 cc, project. Registration number GVH 691 (not registered with DVLA). Car number YB/1488. Body number MG 7093/1297. Engine number XPAG/SC2/18353.Gerald Palmer was responsible for body styling of the Y Type MG's and in essence he took a Morris Eight Series E four-door bodyshell in pressed steel, added a swept tail and rear wings, and also a front-end MG identity in the shape of their well-known upright grille. The MG 1 1/4 Litre Saloon would retain the traditional feature of separately mounted headlights at a time when Morris was integrating headlamps into the front wing and it was also to have a separate chassis under this pressed-steel bodywork, even though the trend in the industry was towards 'unitary construction'. The separate chassis facilitated the 'Jackall System', which consisted of four hydraulically activated rams that were clamped to the chassis, two at the front and two at the rear. The Jacks were connected to a Jackall Pump on the bulkhead that enabled the front, the back, or the entire car to be raised to facilitate a wheel change.The power unit was a single carburettor version of the 1,250 cc engine used in the latest 'TB' Midget. This engine, the XPAG, went on to power both the 'TC' & 'TD' Midgets. The MG Y Type developed 46 b.h.p. at 4,800rpm, and had more power than other British saloons of similar size. The MG 'Y' Type had an extremely high standard of interior furnishing and finish, in accordance with the best British Traditions. The facing surfaces of all seats were leather, as were the door pockets. The rear of the passenger seats were made from Rexine, a form of leathercloth, which matched the leather fronts. When production ceased in 1953 8,336 'Y' Types had been produced, the breakdown being: 6,151 'YA's (1948 - 1952), 1,301 'YB's (1952 - 1953) and 884 'Y' Tourers (1948 - 1950).GVH was driven into a lock up in 1969 and remained there until recently; it will be sold with another OAT 335 (not registered with DVLA), car number YB/1135, body number MG 6744/948 with engine EXAG/SC2/17842 (not original to the car). This one was bought to obtain a rear bumper for GVH.There is no paperwork with either car.
1970 MG Midget, 1293 cc. Registration number ARR 183H. Chassis number GAN5/ 80533 G. Engine number see text. Back in the 1920's, the M-Type Midget had been developed from the baby Morris Minor. The result was a basic, cheap, fun two-seater, with sporting pretensions which triggered a whole dynasty of Midgets. It was the Midget series which had established MG as a manufacturer of sports cars with an excellent reputation in motor sport. In the late 1950's, yet another basic, cheap, fun two-seater was developed from a 'baby' car. This time, the more modern equivalent of the old Austin Seven was used, the A30/35. This new two-seater car was the Austin-Healey Sprite, (Frog Eye) which appeared in 1959 and was built at Abingdon. In 1961, the bodywork of the Sprite came in for a major restyling. The central cockpit portion remained essentially the same, but the front and rear bodywork was completely restyled to give the car a more conventional squared-off appearance. The engine and running gear was essentially the same as the earlier Sprite, but output was up to around 47bhp, which led to increases in performance also. In this form, the car was known as the Austin-Healey Sprite Mark II, but shortly after, a De Luxe version was announced. It had been re-badged to become known as the MG Midget. The new Midget was to find a ready and enthusiastic market among the dedicated MG fans, as it was a sports car with all the traditional MG characteristics - small, inexpensive, fast, and safe with predictable handling. The MG Midget Mk 3 was introduced in 1966, with a 1275 cc engine. The hydraulic system gained a separate master cylinder for the clutch. The hood was now permanently attached to the car, with an improved mechanism making it much easier to use, and minor facelift changes were made to the body trim in late 1969 with the sills painted black, a revised recessed black grille, and squared off taillights as on the MGB. The 13" "Rostyle" wheels were standardized, but wire-spoked ones remained an option. ARR, offered in Flame Red, was first registered on the 3rd March 1970 and according to letters on file was bought by Terence Powers of Leicester in 1971. In the late 1970's he began preparing it for Concours Competitions including MGOC 1980 Donnington Park (first in class), ditto 1981 where he also competed at Brands Hatch, Woolaston Park, Elvaston Castle, Ashby Hall (all first in class) and finally Car of the year at the South Leics annual awards as well as front cover of Practical Classics magazine June 1981. The offside front wing was damaged in February 1982 and a new one replaced it (see letter on file). Always garaged and pampered in September 2003 it received an Oselli Stage 2, 1293 cc exchange engine; this increased the HP to 95 and the engine will rev to 7,500 RPM with a balanced and lightened flywheel, big valve head and twin SU 1 1/2" carbs, from the original 64 HP and 5,800 RPM. In 2010 the MOT mileage was 48,584 and in 2013 he sold it to Paul Pender at 48,759 miles. In August 2015 he sold it to our vendor with a mileage of 48,834. In 2017 he fitted drilled and crossed front discs and polybushed it, the mileage rose to 49,762 but has been SORNed since due to our vendors bad back. Sold with the V5C, V5, a large history file and the Practical Classic magazine. The cataloguer can confirm that this is no ordinary Midget!
