The ex-R M 'Bob' Gilbert; highly successful historic racing1936 Bentley 4¼-Litre Racing Two-SeaterCoachwork by ShapecraftRegistration no. JR 5544Chassis no. B186HKEngine no. D5BF•Rebuilt as a competition car in the late 1980s•Extensively campaigned in VSCC and BDC events•Podium finisher at Le Mans in 2006•Well known and well documentedFootnotes:In the previous vendor's ownership for 33 years, chassis number 'B186HK' was originally completed by Park Ward as a four-door sports saloon and first registered on 27 October 1936. The original registration document does not exist but a continuation document issued on 1 December 1958 records a Capt Maurice Herbert Cousins of London SE 12 as its owner. The Bentley was later acquired by a Mr Stanley Aston of Hall Green, Birmingham (in 1960). The last evidence of its road use is an MoT certificate dated 28 April 1965. After that the car was left in an orchard in Wythall near Birmingham for 18 years. It was acquired by the previous owner on 28 March 1983. The Bentley was in a very sorry state (see pictures on file) and was completely beyond restoration in its then condition. At the same time a friend and colleague of the then owner acquired a similar car in a similar state. With the help of VSCC member Mr Bruce Spollon (subsequently the Club's President) work started on building two identical cars with the aim of competing in VSCC and other historic racing events. The other car was subsequently sold to a German competitor who unfortunately wrote it off at the Nürburgring. 'JR 5544' is the sole survivor of the two identical cars. The aim was to build cars that were both beautiful and looked the part, and the 'bare metal' restoration of 'JR 5544', which is fully documented and photographed, took some six years to complete. The car retains its original engine, gearbox and drive train while incorporating minor modifications as suggested by Rusty Russ-Turner in an article in the VSCC bulletin. Hass Motorsport completely rebuilt the engine. Chassis modifications involved a reduction in wheelbase of 10' by 'cutting and shutting' the original frame, while the front and rear track were widened by 1½' and 2' respectively. The original-pattern lever-type shock absorbers were retained, as were the standard drum brakes, though the original lever/rod mechanism was replaced by a twin-circuit hydraulic system. An aluminium two-seater body was produced by Shapecraft of Northampton to the owner's design and specification, using the original cast bulkhead and reconstructing the engine cover and bonnet around the original item. The interior was re-trimmed and re-upholstered by Ray Banks who, interestingly, was the designer and supplier of many upholstered props in the original 'Star Wars' films. The car was granted a VSCC eligibility certificate in August 1991. 'JR 5544' was subsequently campaigned extensively in VSCC hill climbs and race meetings, being always very competitive and much admired. Over the years it has been considerably modified as a racing car, although it is still road registered. The modifications include 2' SU carburettors, gas-flowed stainless steel inlet and exhaust manifolds. A new cylinder head was specially manufactured by Bentley specialists, Fiennes Engineering. Subsequently the car has been extremely quick and trouble-free. 'JR 5544' has competed extensively in VSCC and Bentley Drivers' Club events, nearly always being in the top three of any race in which it competed and often winning. It was also part of the winning team for two successive years in the VSCC's endurance race at Donington Park. This car is featured in Ray Roberts' book 'Bentley Specials and Special Bentleys' where he describes it as the best Bentley special he had ever seen. Despite competing, the car regularly won the BDC's Concours d'Élégance prize at its annual race meeting, and on many occasions won the award for the car BDC members would most like to take home. The car's last major competitive outing was in 2006 when it was invited to run in the 100th Anniversary race at Le Mans where, fittingly, it repeated the result of the works entry driven by Eddie Hall in 1936 by finishing 3rd and on the podium. The current vendor purchased the Bentley at Bonhams' sale at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in June 2016 (Lot 239), since when it has benefited from some mechanical refurbishment but has seen hardly any use. New Lucas headlamps and sidelights have been fitted, the radiator recored, brakes overhauled, the engine received a new alloy 'head and valves and its been returned to standard compression ratio. The engine will now require careful running in.The car comes complete with the special Bentley tools to remove the hubs and access the brakes. 'JR 5544' has a V5C document, VSCC eligibility papers and an FIA passport (which will require renewal) making it eligible to race in many historic events overseas. Numerous photographs exist of its original restoration and competition outings, together with all the original documentation relating to expenditure on the car over the years.

THE EX-WORKS, SAMUELSON/KINDELL, LE MANS 24 HOURS1924 MG M-Type Midget 'Double Twelve' Le Mans SportsRegistration no. RX 6796Chassis no. 2M1 647*One of two examples built for the 1930 Le Mans 24 Hours race*Maintained by Blue Diamond*Eligible for the Le Mans Classic*5th in class at the 1930 Spa 24 HoursFootnotes:This car is one of two specially built by MG at Abingdon for the 1930 Le Mans 24 Hours race. Based on the 'Double Twelve' M-Type Midget, it is reputed to be the earliest 'works' racing MG in existence and is featured in most books on the marque.With the introduction of the M-Type Midget at the 1928 Olympia Motor Show, Cecil Kimber had single-handedly created the market for small, cheap sports cars. Selling for £175, Kimber's new baby was based on the contemporary Morris Minor and featured pretty, boat-tailed, fabric coachwork by Carbodies. The 847cc, overhead-camshaft, four-cylinder engine derived from Wolseley aero engine experience via the Wolseley Ten, and mated to this little gem of a power unit was a three-speed 'crash' gearbox. Produced initially at Cowley, the Midget proved to be a strong seller and production transferred to Abingdon when the MG factory moved there in the autumn of 1929. M-Types were awarded the Team Prize in the 1930 'Double Twelve' 24-hour race at Brooklands, and this success provided a welcome boost to sales, which amounted to 3,253 cars by the time production ceased in 1933. Capitalising on its Brooklands success, MG produced 30 Double Twelve Replicas, which featured many of the modifications made to the team cars including altered bodywork and deeper door cutaways, while the racer's different valve timing found its way onto the production M-Type for 1931. The Le Mans cars differed from the standard M-Types and 'Double Twelve' Replicas in having more powerful engines; long range fuel and oil tanks; reinforced wheels with extra spokes; an upswept scuttle; extra instrumentation; a pressurised fuel tank; a unique under-body exhaust system incorporating a Brooklands silencer; and an externally mounted spare wheel, many of these modifications made to meet the Le Mans regulations.'RX 6796' was driven at Le Mans by Sir Francis Samuelson and Fred Kindell (an MG employee) but retired after a fractured oil pipe led to damaged bearings. The second car driven by Murton-Neale and Jack Hicks also retired. Undeterred, Samuelson obtained an entry for the Spa-Francorchamps 24-hour race to be held a fortnight later and set off for Abingdon in his Talbot, taking the MG's engine with him. Back in France the rebuilt motor was soon reinstalled and the MG was then 'run in' by being driven north to Belgium. 'RX 6796' was the only British entry at Spa and finished 5th in class, hampered by severe clutch slip. This car is believed to have had continuing competition usage during the 1930s but the details are not known. It is reputed to have been supercharged at one time and it is likely that the car's hydraulic brakes and J2 four-speed gearbox were fitted during this period. The Midget was purchased by the previous owner's father-in-law, Lewin Spittle, in Newmarket in 1943 for £17 10s (£17.50) with three gallons of 'unobtainable' petrol in the (enlarged) Le Mans tank. He wrote: 'It looked somehow different and had the largest SU I had seen on an engine of that size together with a fishtail exhaust which would not have disgraced a Bentley.' As the little MG would not accommodate his growing family, Spittle sold it in 1948 to an undergraduate who took it to Spain. He saw the car again in Piccadilly in 1950 and by the mid-1960s had traced it to Oxford where it was owned by Dr Stuart Milton, who was very well known in MG circles and owned the ex-Nuvolari K3. Spittle and Milton agreed jointly to restore the car to original Le Mans specification, where necessary using parts from the second Le Mans car of Murton-Neale, the remains of which Milton also owned. Milton died in 1971 before the rebuild was completed. During the restoration, drawings of the Le Mans body were obtained from Abingdon and an accurate replica made, but the rest of the car including the engine (with the exception of the carburettor, which is of the correct downdraft configuration but of a different model) is believed to be original. The MG was the subject of a feature by Bill Boddy in the June 1976 issue of Motor Sport. 'RX 6796' remained in single family ownership for almost 50 years and saw limited use in this time. The engine was rebuilt, it being noted that the special cylinder head had the copper plating which was typical of MG racing practice of the period. The Midget has appeared regularly at special MG occasions, most recently at the demonstration of significant MG competition cars at the 1999 Goodwood Revival meeting, and was invited to attend the 2014 'MG90' celebrations at Silverstone. Offered with V5 registration document, the sporting MG is now offered from a prominent collector of special interest collector cars and has been looked after by John Lomas of Blue Diamond Riley Services Ltd while retained at Bicester Heritage. A wonderful opportunity to acquire a unique and historically significant part of the MG legend.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1930 Bentley 6½-Litre Le Mans Team Car ReplicaRegistration no. GC3333Chassis no. SB2758*Shortened chassis (11' wheelbase)*Many correct original works items*Accurate Vanden Plas Long Door style body*Completed in August 2020Footnotes:Although the 6½-Litre had been conceived as a touring car to compete with Rolls-Royce's New Phantom, in Speed Six form it proved admirably suited to competition: in 1929 Barnato/Birkin's Speed Six won the Le Mans 24 Hour Race ahead of a trio of 4½-Litre Bentleys, while Barnato/Kidston repeated the feat in the following year's Grand Prix d'Endurance at the Sarthe circuit ahead of similarly-mounted Clement/Watney. Small wonder then, that the fast yet refined 6½-Litre Speed Six was W O Bentley's favourite car. Walter Owen Bentley had established Bentley Motors in 1919 in the North London suburb of Cricklewood, though deliveries did not begin until 1921. The first model, a 3-litre car, was powered by a four-cylinder, single-overhead-camshaft engine with four valves per cylinder. It was a mechanical theme perpetuated in the greatly refined six-cylinder 6½-Litre model of 1926. The need for a larger car had resulted from Bentley's customers specifying bodies of a size not envisaged when the 3-Litre was conceived, a factor only partially addressed by the introduction of the Long Standard chassis in 1923. The 6½-Litre was produced for four years, during which time 544 chassis were completed, 182 of them to Speed Six specification. First owned by a Miss C M Buttanshaw, this 6½-Litre left Bentley's Cricklewood factory in January 1930 for bodying by James Young as a saloon, but was re-bodied in April of that year with saloon coachwork by Barker & Co. Its subsequent history is largely unknown, but the Bentley formerly belonged to John Willment, co-founder of the Le Mans-winning JW Automotive racing team, and more recently was owned by renowned marque specialist Julian Ghosh, its custodian up to 2019. As presented here the car has been built as a replica of the works Le Mans Speed Six. It incorporates many correct original works items, and the attention to detail is brilliant. 'SB2758' was originally erected on the standard ST3 12' 6' wheelbase chassis, which has been shortened to the more appropriate 11' wheelbase. The body frame was made by Eric Peppercorn and incorporates the team cars' special features including the long door, etc, while the fabric body covering and black leather upholstery are the work of VBE/Tim Cresswell. The ash frame has inlaid aluminium panels for increased stiffness and longevity. All mechanical components: engine, gearbox, axles, brakes, etc are in overhauled condition and the wiring is new. The engine incorporates a Farnham crankshaft and Arrow pistons, with the machining work was carried out by Formhalls. The gearbox and rear axle were overhauled by VBE. Modern upgrades include twin Spal electric fans and a discreetly mounted 12-volt alternator (the original dynamo is installed but not wired in). The trembler coil ignition is in place but not wired pending the acquisition of a proper magneto. Other notable features include the following: Bentley & Draper hydraulic shock absorbers (x8)External oil filler neckTeam Car dashboard layout and gaugesTwin pulse fuel pumps and rubber sleeved fuel linesCrossbar throttle assembly and organ throttle pedalTwin Klaxon hornsCarl Zeiss headlampsBrass fire extinguisher (not serviceable, display only)Blockley tyresBrake vacuum boosterThree soft-top bows instead of two for stiffness and usabilityGlass windscreen instead of wire mesh for usability Rope-wrapped steering wheel Only finished in August 2020, this stunning Le Mans Team Car replica is worthy of the closest inspection. Running and driving very well this imposing Bentley is now ready to be enjoyed by its new custodian.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
