1966 MORRIS COOPER 1275 'S' Registration Number: PUB 536D Chassis Number: 1408 Recorded Mileage: TBA - First delivered to New Zealand - Matching engine and chassis - Subject to previous comprehensive restoration Designed by Alex Issigonis in 1959, a new concept in car design was born. With a monocoque shell, transversely mounted engine and front wheel drive, the new 'Mini', soon became popular across a broad spectrum of the population. The potential for competition use was soon seen by John Cooper; BMC were finally persuaded by John Cooper and the two worked together in culminating the birth of the Austin Mini Cooper and the Morris Mini Cooper in 1961. Victories in the 1964, 1965 and 1967 Monte-Carlo Rallies set the Mini on the road to fame but probably the greatest publicity was gained from their, somewhat unfair, disqualification for lighting irregularities in the 1966 event after coming in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. A more powerful Mini Cooper, dubbed the 'S', was developed in tandem and released in 1963. Approximately 2,500 Mk. II Cooper S were built making it one of the rarest versions of this very collectible motor car. First registered in 1966, this lovely Mini Cooper S was built under licence from BMC for the Australian market. As per standard production methods, the body and suspension were assembled in Australia, with a Cooper S 1275cc engine and gearbox shipped from the UK for completion. This Cooper S was specified with wind-up windows, twin fuel tanks, unique trim items and hydrolastic suspension. Delivered new to New Zealand and first registered on 1st January 1966, we understand this early example covered around 100,000 miles over a 35 year period. By the turn of the millennium a restoration was due, and so in 2001 the Mini’s paint was stripped, repaired as required, repainted and reassembled. The engine and other mechanicals were stripped and rebuilt to factory specifications. According to the Australian Cooper S register, the engine and body numbers are matching. After completion the Cooper was on the move to join a collection in the U.S. where it remained for a number of years, prior to being sold to a Canadian gentleman who had a passion for British cars. The Mini was used sparingly in Canada, mainly for car meets in the summer months. On the move once more, the Mini was acquired by a local British enthusiast who imported the car into the UK, attended to a number of minor detail items, fitted a rev. counter and retrimmed the dash covering. Tuned on a rolling road not long ago, and supplied with a V5C registration document, history folder and jack, this well travelled Cooper S looks lovely and we are sure will prove to be hugely enjoyable to own and drive.

1984 Triumph Acclaim HLS, 1335cc. Registration number A743 TWS. VIN number SAXXDFLX7BM223253. Engine number ACC3068840.Sold with the V5C and 4 keys.By the 1980s, the once great British Leyland empire was in tatters. The public perception of the company was tarnished by the extensive industrial action of the 1970s and the quality of the cars they were actually producing was hit-and-miss – Morris Ital, anyone?With struggling finances and its reputation at an all-time low, BL was at risk of going under. They needed a lifeline, and they got one: Honda. BL formed a partnership with the Japanese company to learn from their famously class-leading reliability and quality, whilst Honda would learn from Britain how to build a car to European tastes. By being involved in BL’s products, Honda could also overcome the import restrictions being imposed on Japanese manufacturers in a desperate attempt to save local produce.TWS has been family owned for some 20 years, when the husband passed in 2020 his wife transferred it to her ownership. With a new battery it started straight away and should be taken to summer shows.
1938 Morris 8, Series II, 817cc. Registration number EAR 581. Chassis number S 2/E 166284. Engine number B 91696.Sold with the V5C, R.F. 60, keys, many old MOT's, history/receipt folder.One of the great automotive success stories of the Thirties and one of the best-loved pre-war cars, it is no exaggeration to say that the Eight was the car that saved Morris.Small and affordable but with room for all the family, it was far more suited to Britain's increasingly crowded roads than the larger models that had formerly underpinned the Morris range. So successful was it that within three years of its introduction in June 1935, over 116,000 had been sold by the time it was replaced by the Series II in 1937.Available as a two or four-seat tourer and a two or four-door saloon, the Eight was capable of 60mph and 40mpg from its 23.5bhp 918cc side-valve engine, driving through a three-speed box with synchromesh on the top two gears. It also benefited from hydraulic brakes and a good level of equipment.EAR has known history back to 1964 when it was owned by Albert Rapson of Hertfordshire, five further owners are noted on the R.F.60, there is then a gap until the MOT records which start in 1985 at 5232 miles and continue until 2005 at 19,119 miles when Stephen Nobes is recorded as the owner on the V5C. Barry Springfield-Hunt bought it in 2007, and then in 2015 David Powell was the owner; our vendor bought it from him in 2018. The interior was refreshed in 2009 and the engine in 2012. At some point the body has undertaken a full restoration. During our vendors custodianship he has overhauled the brakes, the wiring, the ignition and other general maintenance.A change of lives priorities nows means that our vendor has decided to part with "Daisy". Sold with the V5C, R.F. 60, keys, many old MOT's, history/receipt folder.

**Please note this car was first registered in October 1936 although it is a 1937 model.** Just three owners from new, the first being 'Tarzan' stunt man, Gerald Gordon. A rare survivor with a fascinating history. The SA was launched in 1936, initially in a closed-head, saloon body variant only produced in-house by Morris. By the end of 1936, however, the range was extended by the addition of a Tickford DHC by Salmons and by the Charlesworth Four-Door Tourer offered hereThe SA used an enlarged and tuned version of the six-cylinder 2,062cc Morris QPHG from the Wolseley Super Six, now 2,288cc Only seven of this model were built and this one, #SA/0903, featured on the stand at the 1936 British International Motor Exhibition at Olympia, confirmed by a plaque on the dashboardIt was purchased from the stand by an adventurous individual called Gerald Gordon, who is understood to have been Tarzan's (Johnny Weismuller) stunt manHe immediately booked the car on the Queen Mary to the USA, driving it 19,000 miles around the States. His account of his eventful North American odyssey, complete with press cuttings and photographs, is in the history fileHe returned to the UK in 1939 and lived in Scotland where he and the MG became local celebrities, before going bust, with the car sold at auction to a museum in Cumbria from where it was purchased by our vendor c.22 years agoThe MG was fully restored with a new leather interior by the previous owner and benefits from a new navy blue hood and side screens during current ownershipSince then it has regularly been used enjoying car rallies and a few years ago won the SVW Trophy at Goodwood for the car the judges would most like to ownThis is a rare opportunity to own a fabulous survivor with a fascinating historySpecificationMake: MGModel: SAYear: 1936Chassis Number: SA/0903Registration Number: MG 5026Transmission: ManualEngine Number: QPHG 1168 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 22347 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Light Blue LeatherClick here for more details, condition report and images

Registration - UYB 461G Chassis No. - MA2S5D1238828M M.O.T. - Exempt Odometer - 101,944 One of the best loved classics in the country, the Morris Minor is familiar to all, and this 1969 a professionally created convertible retains all the character that has made the model such a favourite amongst drivers of all ages. Few will come to auction with such a comprehensive service history as ‘UYB 461G’, including a file filled with receipts, invoices, and records of work carried out over the years. The pale blue bodywork is described as excellent by the current owner, as is the 998cc four-cylinder engine and manual transmission. That engine has seen 101,944 miles at the latest reading, and will be sold with a recent service as well as 12-month MOT – despite the model now being MOT exempt. The folding roof is in perfect working order, and the vendor is including an original spare wheel and oil can with the sale. The Morris Minor is almost as universal a symbol of England as the London bus and the red telephone box and, with over 1.3 million manufactured in its 23-year reign, is one of the most successful cars of all time. Designed by Alec Issigonis (who later penned the ubiquitous Mini), the Minor was unveiled at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show and 13 years later became the first British car to achieve a million sales. The term ‘panda car’ originally related to black police cars to which white panels had been added to increase their visibility, but became the nickname for the Morris Minors, Ford Anglias, Hillman Imps etc that, in many areas, replaced the traditional ‘bobby on the beat’. · Excellent example of a much-loved classic · Well maintained and comprehensively recorded service history · Original spare wheel and oil can included
Registration - MFO 957 Chassis No. - AN522208 M.O.T. - Exempt Odometer - 39,029 This charming, sporty little car has been in the same ownership for the past 17 years, and its three previous owners were all members of one family. This ‘frogeye’ has been cherished throughout its life, serviced annually and comes with Heritage Certificate and a file of MOTs and invoices documenting the work carried out over the years. ‘MFO 957’ has enjoyed a total body rebuild and, originally Irish blue, it was resprayed in smart British Racing Green which contrasts nicely with the cream leather upholstery and fascia. The original 948cc engine has been upgraded to a 1098cc BMC A series unit, which has been completely rebuilt, and new brake discs and upgraded rear brakes have also been fitted. This little Sprite sits on sporting wire wheels, shod in Uniroyal Rain Expert tyres and comes complete with hard top in British Racing Green with a stylish cream stripe. The current owner describes the electrics and four-speed manual transmission as ‘excellent’. With its smart chrome luggage rack on the back, ‘MFO 957’ is ready and waiting to take its new owner off on adventures. Thanks to its prominent, bonnet-mounted headlights, the original Sprite quickly became known as the ‘Frogeye’ - a moniker that has stuck to this day. The little two-seater, designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company and built by BMC at the MG factory in Abingdon, was launched in Monte Carlo immediately prior to the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix. The unique, one-piece bonnet covered a mildly tuned, 43bhp 948cc version of the BMC A series engine already found in the Austin A35 and Morris Minor. The suspension was by coil springs and wishbones at the front and quarter elliptic springs at the rear, with lever arm dampers all round. The construction was ‘integrated’ rather than a full monocoque and featured forward projecting chassis legs of the type used in the E-Type Jaguar. The minimal specification excluded exterior door handles and boot lid. Some 49,000 Frogeyes were built between 1958 and 1961. In summary: A four-owner example, benefiting from a total body rebuild and upgraded 1098cc engine Offered with a large history file and Heritage Certificate

1963 Morris Mini 850 Transmission: manualMileage:89999The history of this revolutionary motorcar is well known and its impact socially, culturally and mechanically is well documented. The Swinging Sixties, The Beatles, Twiggy and the Mini are inexorably combined to represent an era that is remembered with great fondness by many people. The side story is the Mini's impact on motorsport and this is no less extraordinary. Issigonis' friend John Cooper, owner of the Cooper Car Company and designer and builder of Formula One and rally cars, saw the potential of the Mini for competition.This three owner example of the Morris Mini 850 was built in 1962 and registered on 1st January 1963. It has been in current ownership for some 51 years and has been used as intended throughout its life, the vendor was familiar with the car from new, and belonged to a friend before he purchased it in 1973. Presented in light blue the Mini is ready for restoration having been dry stored for the past decade. Since it was driven into the garage for the last time the clutch has seized and the bodywork will need attending to, along with various mechanicals. The history file that accompanies the car includes many old MoT test certificates, invoices for maintenance work, old tax discs, and the current registration document. This example offered at no reserve is rather original, and even retains the original wiper motor with stamping 12,62,12V. This makes for a very exciting restoration project indeed and is also offered with its transferable cherished registration number '6225 PK'! Consignor Daniel Godin
1965 Morris Mini Cooper S Mk. I (1275cc) Transmission: manualMileage:To many, its designer Alec Issigonis included, the notion that the Mini might have a future as anything other than basic transport was anathema, and the idea of a high-performance version was laughable. One man though, saw it quite differently. Racing car manufacturer John Cooper already knew quite a bit about tuning BMC's A-Series engine, he was running the company's Formula Junior effort at the time, and a test drive in a prototype Mini convinced him of the car's competition potential. The result, launched in September 1961, was the Mini Cooper, a car that offered a size/price/performance package that was nothing short of miraculous. The Mini Cooper soon established its credentials as a rally and race winner, and the stage was set for even faster versions. The first of these, the 1,071cc Mini Cooper 'S' of 1963, took engine development a stage further and provided the basis for the 971 'S' and 1275 'S' of 1964. Manufactured on 29th April 1965 this Mini spent its early years in Guernsey. It came back to the mainland in 1976 and was put into dry storage in 1980. The vendor, a very competent engineer, has extensively restored this Cooper S to a very high standard. The car was stripped and the bodyshell was completely refurbished using a rotisserie. It was painted in the original colour combination of Old English White with a black roof. New inner and outer sills have been fitted as has a new rear subframe. The 1275cc engine and gearbox have previously been rebuilt and the gearbox has straight-cut gears, the engine runs very well with good oil pressure. The brakes have been totally refurbished and the suspension has new Hydro lines fitted. New 4½ inch wheel rims have been fitted together with new tyres. Internally the headlining was replaced, the seats have been recovered, all to the original colour combination. The result of this extensive work is a Mini Cooper S Mk. I that is pristine in its presentation. The vendor has done very few miles since the rebuild and the car has only done 391 miles in the last 42 years. Supplied with a V5C registration document, a good history folder and a Heritage Certificate and presenting in delightful condition this 1275cc Mini Cooper S looks exceptional value especially given its rarity and wow factor. Consignor Stewart Banks. *Interested partes should note that this Mini has developed a problem with the steering rack & pinion. This will be rectified at the vendors expense prior to delivery to a new owner.
1969 Morris Mini Mk. II Cooper S Transmission: manualMileage:31400Originally designed as a small affordable family car, the Mini quickly proved itself in many forms of motor sport. The most notable success was undoubtably the overall victory in the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally, the works Mini Cooper S ably piloted by Paddy Hopkirk with his navigator Henry Liddon. This victory, against considerably more powerful machinery, cemented the Mini's competition status.This stunning Mini Cooper S is presented in Almond Green with a Snowbury White roof. It was previously owned by two self-proclaimed Mini fanatics and restoring this car had become something of a passion, a read of the 1988 Restoring Classic Cars magazine charters their journey. Starting with a standard 1969 Cooper S the couple undertook a nut and bolt restoration with a twist. Although largely original, originality was never the goal in this project, the key was to fully future proof the car so much of the work was possibly unnecessary but an insistence on quality applied, something that can be seen some 35 years later!This car has certainly had plenty of expense lavished on it, now with a rebuilt 'A+' 1275cc inline-four engine driving the front wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox fitted in February 2018, at 27,400 miles after a rebuild to return the car to being a more relaxed road companion. The engine is currently running twin 1.5€ SU carburettors, CSI adjustable electronic ignition, and an open-road cam. Details can be found in the extensive history file stretching back over 35 years that begs to be read. Now running AVO adjustable shock absorbers and a rear anti-roll bar, while a free-flowing LCB manifold is complemented by a big-bore Maniflow exhaust. The braking system has been uprated to include vented discs, four-piston callipers and a remote servo.The headlamps have been converted to contemporary halogen units with LED side lights. The interior features black leather seats piped in green and Wood & Pickett period trim including tread-plates and chrome 'fly-off' handbrake. A modern stereo sits in the wooden dashboard. Recent expenditure includes new front discs and pads, Timken wheel bearings, new CV joints and front hubs. Although exempt, on the basis of age, the vehicle was MoT tested on 16 March 2022 at 31,301 miles when it received an advisory-free pass.Our vendor still tells us it is very fast for a mini, and would refer to it as a fast road spec but admitted it was an itch he had to scratch upon retirement to remember his own mini fondly. The car is in excellent condition and much can be accredited to the build by the Cotton's in the 80's though new sills and a rear subframe were fitted in the early 1990s. Having just 31,400 on the odometer and with such a detailed history, including a Heritage Certificate this is a fantastic 'fast road' Cooper S, offered ready to use and enjoy. Consignor Mathew Priddy.
A genuine and substantially original Mini in need of some recommissioning and offered with No Reserve. Designed as project ADO15 (Austin Drawing Office project number 15), the Mini came about as a result because of the fuel shortage caused by the 1956 Suez Crisis. Petrol was once again rationed in the UK, sales of large cars slumped but the market for German 'bubble' cars boomed. Leonard Lord, the somewhat autocratic head of BMC, reportedly detested these cars so much that he vowed to rid the streets of them and design a 'proper miniature car'. Alec Issigonis had been working for Alvis, but had now been recruited back to BMC in 1955 and, with his skills in designing small cars, he was a natural for the task. The team that designed the Mini was remarkably small: along with Alec Issigonis, there was Jack Daniels (who had worked with him on the Morris Minor), Chris Kingham (who had been with him at Alvis), two engineering students and four draughtsmen. Together, by October 1957, they had designed and built the original prototype, which was affectionately named 'The Orange Box' because of its colour.The Mk1 Mini (only known as the Mk1 after the arrival of its successor) was the first version of BMC's Mini model and is characterised by its sliding windows, external door hinges and 'moustache' grille. In the UK, the Mk1 was produced between 1959 and 1967 at the Longbridge Plant near BMC's headquarters and was sold under both Austin and Morris marque names. The proposed engine size was originally 948cc, as used in the Morris Minor and Austin A35, however Leonard Lord thought that the 90mph top speed was excessive and thus reduced the engine size to 848cc, resulting in a more manageable speed (for the time) of 72mph!The car presented here is a 1963 Morris Mini Mk1 (848cc), chassis #MA2S4218353, first registered in September 1963. Being an early car, endearing features like the floor-starter and the 'magic wand' gear lever are all present and correct. With only three previous keepers, our vendor bought the car in 2012 from the widow of the preceding owner with an indicated mileage of 57,746, believed to be genuine - which seems wholly commensurate with its overall condition. We understand it to have been restored by the previous owner in the late 1990s, completed in time to enjoy the Mini’s 40th Anniversary in 1999. It's accompanied by a history file, is running and driving and still starts 'on the button', but it did fail an MOT in 2017 and has been in storage ever since.Obviously in need of some work, this charming British classic would make a very worthwhile project.Specification Make: MORRIS Model: MINI MK1 848CC Year: 1963 Chassis Number: MA2S4218353 Registration Number: 7442 KX Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 8AM-U-H598853 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images
