Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and James Dean were iconic figures of the entertainment industry who achieved tremendous fame and left a lasting impact on popular culture. Here's some information about each of them:1. Marilyn Monroe: Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson, was an American actress, model, and singer. She became one of the most recognizable and beloved sex symbols of the 1950s and 1960s. Monroe starred in numerous successful films, including "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," "Some Like It Hot," and "The Seven Year Itch." She was known for her beauty, charisma, and captivating on-screen presence. Monroe's personal life, tragic death, and enduring image have made her an enduring cultural icon.2. Elvis Presley: Elvis Presley, often referred to as the "King of Rock 'n' Roll," was an American singer, musician, and actor. He played a pivotal role in popularizing rock and roll music in the 1950s and became a global sensation. Presley's energetic performances, distinctive voice, and charismatic stage presence made him a music and cultural phenomenon. Some of his most famous songs include "Hound Dog," "Jailhouse Rock," and "Love Me Tender." He starred in several successful movies, such as "Love Me Tender" and "Jailhouse Rock." Elvis Presley's impact on popular music and his enduring popularity continue to resonate with fans worldwide, even after his untimely death in 1977.3. James Dean: James Dean was an American actor known for his intense and brooding performances. He starred in only three major films before his tragic death at a young age. His most famous roles were in "Rebel Without a Cause," "East of Eden," and "Giant." Dean's natural acting style, rebellious persona, and good looks captivated audiences and made him a symbol of youthful angst and disillusionment. Despite his short career, James Dean's impact on cinema and his portrayal of troubled, misunderstood characters left a lasting influence on subsequent generations of actors and filmmakers.All three of these individuals had exceptional talent and continue to be celebrated for their contributions to the entertainment industry. They each left a significant mark on popular culture and remain cultural icons to this day.Measures 60 x 20.

Not wishing to repeat myself but, the MGB was conceived as early as 1958 as a replacement for the highly successful MGA and this was before the last of the MGA model range, the MGA 1600, was put into production. it was only anticipated that the MGB would have a production life of seven years. The basic price of the MGB when it was released in the Autumn of 1962 was £690 plus £260 car tax. This was very favourably priced against the Triumph TR4 at £750 and £695 for the Sunbeam Alpine. The MGB went through a number of revisions with the Mark II being released in November 1967 with changes under skin only, namely the new stronger all syncromesh gearbox. The mark III arrived three years later Several changes were introduced for the 1970 model year (commencing in Oct 1969 for Roadsters, but September 1969 for GTs) the most important being a black, recessed radiator grille instead of the traditional chrome one which had been MG's trademark for many years. For the 1973 model year (from August 1972) MG reverted to a chrome radiator grille which resembled the older '62-'69 grille but had a black plastic honeycomb centre.This car was first registered 4th May 1973 having been purchased from Parish’s of Scarborourgh by Mr Thompson for £1450.00 exactly, who also specified static seatbelts, and overdrive as an option. Mr Thompson then moved to the Isle of Wight and took the car with him. The car returns to the UK in 2018 and is reassigned its original plate. The history file is copious on this car. There is a passport showing service stamps all the way through 1997 from new. Someone has written a car maintenance diary from 1997 onwards, and the previous vendor Spent £10,000 on mechanical work between 2020 to 2022. Having only had 2 previous owners and covered only 77k miles from new (we believe this genuine based on the records). This car is a little gem. It shows nice patina but still looks great. The roof fits, and it drives nicely. Wearing the correct face and alloys from the period. This could be an original car that’s worth keeping. Selling due to bereavement.
Lot 37
Ford invested a total of £20 million in the project. The first car was completed in 1968, followed by a two-month production run prior to the official release date to ensure every Ford dealer forecourt had a Capri on show in time for its big debut. During this preliminary production run, Ford spent time in court with Mitsubishi, arguing about the rights to the Colt monika. Ford lost the case, forcing them to change the car’s name to the “Capri” for its official debut at the 1969 Brussels Motor Show. The Ford Capri was designed as the European equivalent of the Ford Mustang. it was marketed as a cheap, fast and fun two-plus-two coupe, aimed at the blue-collar working man. It was a highly successful model for Ford, remaining in production well into the eighties, and selling almost 1.9-million units across its 17-year production run. Marketed under the tagline “the car you’ve always promised yourself,” the Capri enjoyed huge success across Europe and the UK during its lifetime .This capri is from the early begins of the Capri life. Registered on the 1st April 1969 to Arden Garages in Stratford on Avon, before being sold on to Mrs Brown of the same town on 25th March 1970. She kept the Capri until 1986. The car then passed on to our vendor in 1991. In the history file the car comes with its original service book (with stamps) and handbook. The car was placed 2nd at the northern nationals Capri Club International in 1990. Looking at the condition this is something it could do again. Presented in baby Blue with Blue interior, the car has recently been through commissioning after coming out of storage. There are receipts for new brake components and ignition HT leads. She starts, runs, and drives although a good run of fresh fuel might help a little. She has had a fresh respray and seems ready for a an enthusiast to enjoy those americana looks on a solid British coupe.
Lot 38
Known affectionately as Project Carla, the MkIII Capri began its design phase in 1976. Due to the project’s tight budget, it ended up being little more than a facelifted version of the MkII, with updates being limited to a set of redesigned quad-headlights, a pair of new wings, a new bonnet, fresh bumpers and updated paint and interior options.In all, Ford spent around £480,000 on the development of the third-generation Capri, which is small change in comparison to the £20 million worth of development allocated for the first-generation model. To make up for the limited budget, Ford masked the Capri’s age through well-considered, cash-conscious trickery, repainting the MkII’s chrome bumpers and exterior trim in a more contemporary satin black and using existing tooling to create the MkIII’s trademark “hooded” bonnet.This is a Mk III Capri with a special story. She has been parked in a garage since 1987. Only seeing daylight for a couple of hours in 2016, when the owner sent it off for an MOT (They couldn’t drive themselves). It passed only needing a set of new tyres and an exhaust. However, it went straight back in and has only come out after the owner passed away. We have uncovered it and offer it here for sale in its very original condition. We have the original brochure used to order the car with notes on the spec required. The brochure is in as new condition!The car was registered on 11th January 1984. Sold by Page of Epsom to Mr Sutton. The only true owner. Sadly, he passed in 1985 and the car passed to his wife who couldn’t drive. That is where the story begins and ends. It sat being sporadically used by relatives for two years until, in 1987 it eventually ended up in the garage we removed it from this week. Its only covered 36,000 from new all of those in the 1980’s. It is a timewarp. It’s a unicorn. It starts, runs and drives. If you love capri’s this has to be one to get, right?
Lot 6
Designed in the late 1980s by Enrico Fumia at Pininfarina, the 916 Spider had a tough act to follow. It addressed the challenge with a dramatic side-slash and huge front clamshell cleverly shrouding the headlights, while a hard cover for the folded soft-top gave it an exceptionally clean wedge profile.Along with its sister GTV, which had a stiffer bodyshell, it won numerous awards in 1995. Based on the same Fiat floorpan as the Alfa 155, but with all-new multi-link suspension, it abandoned rear drive and offered serious performance in 3-litre V6 form, or decent performance, sharp handling, and relaxed usability as a 2-litre four-cylinder. ‘Twin camshafts, twin balancer shafts, variable valve timing and four valves per cylinder combine to produce 150 of the smoothest, most melodic horses available from any four-pot manufacturer in the world,’ Auto Car enthused. In the UK, the 2.0 was offered in two different specs: the more basic Turismo, which could still be specified with extras such as leather trim; and the Lusso, which would normally come with a power hood, full leather trim, optional Momo seats and iridescent paint. This model is the Turismo, first registered on 14th February 2000 the car has had only 3 former keepers, 2 of which are husband and wife. The car comes in red with dark grey cloth interior. It has the optional climate control. At some point it has been given the 17” 156 gold alloys, as well as the 'cup' grill. Additionally, it has the Zenda windbreak fitted which costs circa £700. Having covered 108,000 miles it is important to note that the vendor has pointed out that three of the major mechanical jobs have been completed. New Alternator this year, a new cambelt in ’22, and a new variator fitted in 2009. The car starts and drives. We have driven it and it seems to drive very well. Put as a future classic these Alfas have finished dropping in price, it’s time to get one and be ready for the prices to start rising.

1929 Morris Minor Fire Tender Registration no. UD 2682 Chassis no. U24126 Engine no. U24772•The prototype of only six such vehicles built•Retired from active duty during the 1950s•Restored over a lengthy period of time•Completed in 2012'This speedy little fire-fighting vehicle is of particular value to large private institutions and small communities, or as a tender to the more pretentious fire-fighting vehicle. Its high speed, rapid acceleration and exceptional manoeuvrability enable it to reach a source of trouble in the shortest possible time and thus frequently deal with it effectively before it has attained serious proportions.' - Morris Motors. 'UD 2682' was originally a Morris Motors prototype/factory demonstrator based on the overhead-camshaft Minor chassis. The vehicle was first registered on 1st March 1929 to Morris Motors at Crowley and is one of only six ever built. Two were provided to the City of Oxford Fire Service, two for Worthing Town Council Fire Service, and one for HRH Maharajah Rana Bahadur, this last example being exported to his palace in India. 'UD 2682' served all the way through the Second World War and was retired in the 1950s when the new Morris Minor fire engine was introduced. Usual factory practice was to scrap the old vehicles but this was not the case for 'UD 2682', which was sold to a member of the administrative staff at Morris Motors. As 'UD' was to be rebodied and used as a two-seater sports car, all the firefighting equipment was stripped off.It is not known what happened to 'UD' between this time and when it ended up at an Oxfordshire scrapyard, where the late Mr Peter McCann spotted the vehicle and decided to begin restoring it with the help of a 1929 Morris Minor donor car. Over the following years the Minor changed hands several times with aspects of the restoration ongoing, until the car was purchased by the current vendor 13 years ago, still in a sorry state. After countless hours of work and searching for the correct type of equipment that would have been carried in period, 'UD 2682' has been returned to its original factory livery 94 years later. Without the intervention of the late Mr McCann, 'UD 2682' would have been lost forever.Several years ago, 'UD 2682' was displayed at the NEC, Birmingham where the late Sir Stirlng Moss had a long chat with the owner. Stirling remarked that one of his first cars had been an MG M-Type, a model similar to the OHC Minor, and so the Morris 'must be a little flyer'. Very likely a unique survivor, this charming Morris Minor fire tender comes with handbook, jack and starting handle, and is offered with a V5C document and a file containing numerous photographs.

1949 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Registration no. NVS 456 Chassis no. 496218517 Engine no. 496218517 (see text)•Imported from Texas, USA•Automatic transmission•Present ownership since 1992•Running gear completely overhauled in 2006-2007•A many-time visitor to the South of France'The Cadillac is a vehicle manifestly intended to cover long distances at a high cruising speed whilst demanding the absolute minimum of effort from the driver and imposing the smallest possible distraction upon the passengers.' Motor magazine testing the Series 62 Cadillac early in 1950. Although the body style featuring GM styling chief Harley Earl's Lockheed P38-inspired tailfins had made its debut the preceding year, 1949 was nonetheless a landmark year for Cadillac, this season's models being the first to benefit from the company's new 5.4-litre, overhead-valve V8. Replacement for Cadillac's long-running 5.7-litre sidevalve unit, the new engine was untypical in having over-square bore/stroke dimensions and, despite the overhead valve gear, managed to be both more compact and lighter than its predecessor. A maximum output of 160bhp meant that 100mph was within the reach of most models, with comfortable cruising between 80 and 90.Revisions for the succeeding few seasons were chiefly limited to styling changes. Hydraulically operated 'power' windows was a feature of the Convertible and Coupe DeVille by this time, while Hydra-Matic automatic transmission was standardised from 1950 on all Series 62 models. The Series 62 was the larger of the two mainstream Cadillac model lines, being positioned between the 'small' Series 61 and the long-wheelbase Series 75 reserved for the Fleetwood-bodied limousines. Currently showing 61,985 miles on the odometer, this much loved Cadillac Series 62 Convertible (body number 'FW2110') has been part of the present owner's collection since 1992, coming directly from Texas. Spending many summers with the family in the South of France, it has been driven from London to Antibes on a number of occasions and is fitted with rear seat belts for the benefit of younger family members. The car has upgraded power steering using genuine 1953 Cadillac parts for greater ease of driving, and also benefits from power brakes and the optional Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Further 1949 luxuries include power windows and power convertible top. During 2006-2007 the Cadillac underwent a complete overhaul of the suspension, steering and brakes, and was fitted with a stainless steel exhaust and a modern-core radiator. In 2014 the instrument cluster was restored (retaining the original mileage) with the addition of a new drive cable in addition to ongoing general maintenance. A new heavy-duty 6-volt battery was fitted more recently. A participant in the Hurlingham Club Concours, the car is offered with jack, spare wheel, hood envelope and a V5C Registration Certificate (incorrectly recording the engine number as '296218517').For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Bugatti Type 57-Style Bodyshell Coachwork by in the style of Corsica Chassis no. n/a•Aluminium replica body•In the style of a Bugatti T57 Corsica•Tan interior believed to be from a 1936 T57By the early 1930s Ettore Bugatti had established an unrivalled reputation for building cars with outstanding performance on road or track; the world's greatest racing drivers enjoying countless successes aboard the Molsheim factory's products and often choosing them for their everyday transport. Because of its lengthy run of success, Ettore Bugatti remained stubbornly committed to his single-cam engine, only adopting the more advanced double-overhead-camshaft method of valve actuation, after much prompting by his eldest son Jean, on the Type 50 of 1930. From then on Jean Bugatti took greater responsibility for design, his first car being the exquisite Type 55 roadster, a model ranking among the finest sports cars of the 1930s. He followed that with a design of equal stature, the Type 57. A larger car than the Type 55, the Type 57 was powered by a 3.3-litre, double-overhead-camshaft straight eight of modern design housed in Bugatti's familiar Vintage-style chassis. Showing the strong influence of Jean Bugatti, it at last gave the marque a civilised Grande Routière to match those of rivals Delage and Delahaye. The Type 57 in all its forms attracted discerning owners who were only satisfied with the best, among them speed king Sir Malcolm Campbell. Himself the owner of a Type 57, he wrote: 'If I was asked to give my opinion as to the best all-round super-sports car which is available on the market today, I should, without any hesitation whatever, say it was the 3.3 Bugatti... it cannot fail to attract the connoisseur or those who know how to handle the thoroughbred. It is a car in a class by itself.' Indeed, Bugatti historian Hugh Conway even went so far as to described the Type 57 as 'the most celebrated non-racing car that Bugatti ever produced'. Offered here is a replica aluminium body in the style of a Bugatti T57 Corsica. Very well presented, it is finished in deep blue with a tan-trimmed seats. There are no documents with this lot.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1964 Don Parker Model 4W 35 Four-Wheel Race Trailer Chassis no. 17567Offered here is a very rare Don Parker Race Trailer, which was manufactured in 1964 by former racing driver Don Parker, who had commenced building trailers when he retired from racing in 1959. The vendor's father bought the trailer new in 1964 to transport Lagonda cars to races, and it was also used as a recovery trailer. This particular trailer is believed unique, as it has an actual chassis number. Mainly used in the 1960s, '70s and early '80s, it is described by our vendor as in excellent condition, having seen very little use in 60 years. The ramps may be stored in two positions: flat on the chassis or vertically with support stays. A spare wheel and four chrome hub caps are included in the sale together with chains and shackles for securing vehicles to the trailer. Some modern tie-down straps are present also.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1933 Rolls-Royce Phantom II 40/50hp Sedanca de Ville Coachwork by Windover Registration no. AXV 80 Chassis no. 53RY Engine no. XP95•Exported to the USA in the 1950s•Returned to the UK in the 1980s•Present ownership since 1989•Engine rebuilt and car recommissioned 1990-1993•Only 5,000 miles since the engine rebuild•To original specification and in immaculate conditionReputedly the last model that Henry Royce designed himself, the Phantom II debuted in 1929 featuring an entirely new chassis laid out along the lines of the smaller 20hp Rolls-Royce. Built in two wheelbase lengths - 144' and 150', the former being used for the Continental models - the low-slung frame with its radiator set well back enabled coachbuilders to body the car in the modern idiom, creating sleeker designs than hitherto. The six-cylinder, overhead-valve engine had come in for extensive revision too and now incorporated redesigned combustion chambers and a cross-flow cylinder head, the cumulative effect of these changes being greatly enhanced performance. Highly favoured by prominent coachbuilders, the Phantom II chassis provided the platform for some of the truly outstanding designs of its day. A total of 1,768 had been completed when production ceased in 1935. Sold to coachbuilder Windovers in December 1933, long-wheelbase chassis '53RY' was delivered new in April 1934 to Ian Menzies of London W1. In the late 1950s the Phantom went to the USA, from whence it was reimported in the late 1980s. The current vendor purchased the car from a UK auction in June 1989. Correspondence on file from the DVLA confirms the reuniting of the original registration 'AXV 80' with the car. Copies of the Rolls-Royce and Windovers build sheets are on file also.The current owner was passionately motivated to maintain the car in the best original, mechanical and bodywork condition possible, yet in useable condition. To this end the engine was rebuilt, and the car recommissioned between 1990 and 1993. Numerous photographs and supporting invoices are on file detailing the work.Missing from the car were the two original driving lamps, replacements for which were found in 2007. They were reconditioned and fitted, thus completing the task of returning the Phantom to the exact specification it left Rolls-Royce in April 1934. In 2017 the car was involved in a minor accident and was repaired that same year; at the same time a new leather hood and overdrive unit were fitted. The Phantom has covered fewer than 5,000 miles since the engine rebuild and is only being sold – reluctantly – on account of the owner's advancing years and his recognition that the car is not being used as often as it should be.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1985 Austin Maestro 700 City Van Registration no. B959 DOF Chassis no. SAXXCHGD1AM281900 Engine no. 12HB12AA0101029Replacing the outgoing Ambassador model, the Maestro debuted as Austin Rover Group's new medium sized hatchback in 1983, but unlike its predecessor used steel springs rather than the Hydragas suspension system and mounted its gearbox at the end of the crankshaft instead of beneath it. Engine options ranged from the venerable 1.3-litre A-Series to more modern 1.6- and 2.0-litre overhead-camshaft units, while the VW Golf gearbox was an example of cross-manufacturer technology sharing. Offered here is an example of the Maestro-based light van. First registered to Patrick Motors Ltd as '280 PMG', this vehicle was used to deliver parts to Austin dealerships and was liveried to match the Patrick Motors branding at that time. It has been driven once or twice in recent years and will require recommissioning before returning to the road. Offered with old/current V5C documents and an expired MoT (2018).

1949 Triumph Roadster 2000 Convertible Registration no. LPP 939 Chassis no. TRA 689•Restored circa 40 years ago•Regularly used and campaigned•Standard Vanguard overdrive gearbox•Well loved and well maintainedThanks to its use by TV's fictional Jersey detective Jim Bergerac, few post-war classics are as instantly recognisable as the Triumph Roadster. A landmark model in the history of the Coventry firm, the 1800 Roadster was one of the first post-war designs to bear the Triumph name. Standard was already supplying Jaguar with a 1,776cc overhead-valve engine and four-speed gearbox for the latter's 1½-Litre saloon, and these were chosen for the new car. The chassis - an all-new design featuring independent front suspension - comprised two large-diameter steel tubes joined by cross braces. Styled by Standard's Frank Callaby, the Roadster's elegant alloy-panelled body was unusual in retaining the dickey seat that had been a feature of the pre-war Triumph Dolomite Roadster Coupé.Launched in March 1946 alongside its sister car, the 1800 Saloon, the Roadster was not revised until 1948 when it received the 2.1-litre engine, three-speed gearbox, and rear axle of the newly introduced Standard Vanguard, which would also be used in Triumph's TR sports cars. When Roadster production ceased the following year, a total of 4,501 of these charismatic cars had been built, there being an estimated 400-plus survivors.This example owes its survival to a gentleman who bought it as a 'barn find' in 1981 and spent two years restoring it from the ground upwards. The only significant mechanical change is an upgrade to the Standard Vanguard's overdrive gearbox, giving an extra ratio on both second and top that makes for more relaxed open-road cruising. The owner got a great deal of use out of it over the next almost 40 years, collecting prizes at shows and enjoying tours abroad to France and (inevitably!) Jersey with the Roadster Club. The paint has been reapplied once since the restoration but otherwise the car presents as a well-loved, well-maintained example, ready for anything.The history file contains restoration photographs, as well as a few more from shows and associated newspaper cuttings. There is a receipt for a new exhaust, fabricated from stainless steel in 2007, and some manuals and technical handbooks for the Roadster and related saloon models. Remarkably, there is even a cutting from the local paper in 1981 announcing the auction of this car 'in need of renovation'. There is also correspondence and information from the Roadster club, and a lengthy run of MoTs from 1991 onwards that demonstrate the car's consistent roadworthiness and regular use over the years. The car has been stored unused for the last year since it was purchased by the now deceased enthusiast'Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1978 Chevrolet Corvette 25th Anniversary Targa Coupé Registration no. YEL 302S Chassis no. 1Z87L8S413859 Engine no. 413859•Finished in two-tone silver Anniversary colours•L48 V-8 engine•Manual 4-speed gearbox•21,000 recorded milesBack in 1953, Chevrolet's launch of a two-seater sports car was a radical departure for a marque hitherto associated almost exclusively with sensible family transport. Based on the 1952 EX-122 show car, the Corvette made use of existing GM running gear and a shortened chassis frame, around which was wrapped striking Harley Earl-styled glassfibre coachwork. Motive power came from Chevrolet's 235.5ci (3.8-litre) overhead-valve straight six and, unusually for a sports car, there was automatic transmission, a feature that attracted much adverse criticism at the time. Intended as competition for the T-Series MG, the Corvette cost way above the target figure, ending up in Jaguar XK120 territory but with an inferior performance. Sales were sluggish initially and the model came close to being axed, surviving thanks to Chevrolet's need to compete with Ford's Thunderbird. A V8 engine for 1955 and a radical re-style for '56 had consolidated the Vette's position in the market before arrival of the heavily revised 'Sting Ray' version. Introduced for 1963, the Sting Ray sported a totally new ladder-type chassis and for the first time there was a Gran Turismo coupé in the range. As had been the case with the previous (1956-62) generation of Corvettes, development proceeded slowly, being characterised by annual facelifts and few engineering changes of note. On the latter front, the long-overdue arrival of four-wheel disc brakes was the most significant development for 1965, while Chevrolet's 327ci (5.4-litre) 250bhp standard V8 was joined by an optional 396ci (6.5-litre) Big Block for '65 only, then a '427' until the end of Sting Ray production in 1967. The 'Stingray', of course, continued and the Corvette would go on to become the world's best-selling and longest-lived sports car.The immortal Chevrolet Corvette, 'America's only true production sports car', celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1978, a year that marked the first major re-style since the commencement of the 'Stingray' era ten years previously. By then, catalytic converters had arrived, the 'Big Block' engines had gone, a steel under-tray had been added and a revised dashboard introduced, while the Corvette roadster had been deleted in the expectation that Federal auto legislation would effectively outlaw convertibles. Gone too was the 'Stingray' name, dropped at the end of the 1976 season. For '78 the fastback roofline of the 1963-67 Sting Ray was reinstated and complemented by a wrap-around rear window. The 'Silver Anniversary' was one of two limited edition models offered that year, featuring silver metallic paint above the waistline and charcoal grey below as part of a package that included aluminium alloy wheels. According to our vendor, this 25th Anniversary Corvette is in very solid original condition having covered only 21,000 miles. It has the L48 350ci (5.3-litre) V8 engine coupled to manual four-speed gearbox. It is believed that the car had one owner from 1978 (Mr Homer Bryant of Dade City, Florida) until it was imported into the UK in 2017.Serviced in 2022, it comes with plentiful history, including the original sales invoice, recent maintenance bills, and some memorabilia.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1934 Rolls-Royce 20/25hp Limousine Coachwork by Arthur Mulliner, Northampton Registration no. VV 2802 Chassis no. GUB51 Engine no. X4T•Sold new to the The Hon Alice Nivison, daughter of 1st Lord Glendyne•Present ownership since 2013•Extensively recommissioned 2014-2015 (approximately £100,000 spent)•Raised final drive gearingThe introduction of a smaller Rolls-Royce, the 20hp, in 1922 enabled the company to cater for the increasingly important owner-driver market. Its successor, the 20/25hp, introduced in 1929, up-dated the concept with significant improvements, featuring an enlarged (from 3.1 to 3.7 litres) and more-powerful version of the Twenty's six-cylinder overhead-valve engine. Produced contemporaneously with the Phantom II, the 20/25 benefited from many of the features, such as synchromesh gears and centralised chassis lubrication, developed for the larger model, and would become the best-selling Rolls-Royce of the inter-war period.The Rolls-Royce 20/25hp was, of course, an exclusively coachbuilt automobile, and most of the great British coachbuilding firms offered designs, many of them unique, on the 20/25hp chassis. Off test on 10th February 1934 and registered as 'VV 2802', chassis number 'GUB51' carries formal limousine-with-division coachwork by the respected Northampton firm of Arthur Mulliner, a coachbuilder of the highest order whose designs were favoured by wealthy clients able to afford the finest chassis available. In this car's case the purchaser was the The Hon Alice Nivison, daughter of 1st Lord Glendyne (and an ancestor of our titled vendor). The latter purchased the Rolls-Royce from The Real Car Company, which had bought it at a UK auction in October 2013. At that time the car was said to have last been MoT'd in 1985 and was being sold requiring extensive recommissioning. Works carried out during 2014-2015 include the following: engine rebuild; magneto serviced; suspension serviced throughout; brakes rebuilt; front bench seat re-stuffed and upholstered in black leather; electrics rewired; wings repaired and repainted; front dashboard replaced in walnut. All of the aforementioned works were carried out by Milford Engineering in Scotland, while A & S in Alton cleaned and re-stuffed the rear seat and rebuilt the brakes (again). In addition, the car has been fitted with a more modern dynamo and a raised final drive ratio for more relaxed cruising. The vendor estimates the total amount spent to be around £100,000. Related bills are available and the car also comes with a V5C Registration Certificate.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1936 Riley 9hp Merlin Saloon Registration no. BRU 350 Chassis no. 66M1159 Engine no. M1159•Only four previous owners•Present ownership since 2005•Professionally restored and upgraded 2005-2015•Upgraded engine and alternator electrics•Superb conditionIntroduced in 1926, Percy Riley's 9hp, 1,087cc twin-camshaft 'four' was an outstanding engine design by any standards, various versions powering Rileys until 1957. Clothed in stylish bodywork by Stanley Riley, the Coventry manufacturer's pre-war offerings were among the world's finest small-capacity sporting cars. By the time this particular example was made, the Nine had incorporated a further series of refinements that included a lower final drive ratio, coil/distributor ignition, all-helical gearbox, box-section chassis frame, wire wheels and Hartford shock absorbers, while the Armstrong Siddeley pre-selector 'box was an option. Representing Riley's 'last word' in modernity and offered on both the four- and six-cylinder chassis, the aerodynamic Kestrel saloon was an exciting addition to the range in 1933. Similar in shape to the Kestrel, the £269 Merlin was introduced in 1935. It was the first Riley Nine to feature all-steel bodywork, while the adoption of rod-operated brakes marked another departure from the firm's customary practice. A pre-selector model, this four-cylinder Riley Merlin was purchased at auction in 2005 (invoice on file) and subsequently restored, the project occupying the next ten years. The restoration was masterminded by Raymond Ingram of Classic Motivation in Sutton Valence, Kent and cost a not inconsiderable sum, as detailed by numerous invoices on file (inspection recommended). Works carried out included fully rebuilding the engine with a Phoenix crankshaft and Carrillo con-rods; overhauling the transmission; and fully restoring the chassis, body, and interior. In addition, the engine was upgraded with twin SU carburettors and a four-branch exhaust manifold, and the electrics completely rewired and converted to alternator generation. 'BRU 350' has had only four previous owners from new and has covered a believed genuine 65,180 miles. Very nicely presented and described by the private vendor as in generally excellent restored condition, the car is offered with an owner's handbook; spare radiator cap (Merlin mascot); and a tool bag containing various tools. Accompanying documentation consists of an old-style logbook; a V5C Registration Certificate; and the aforementioned bills. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
