1965 Aston Martin DB5 4.2-Litre Sports SaloonRegistration no. GPA 655CChassis no. DB5/1845/R•Matching numbers•Only four owners from new•Professionally restored from 'barn find' condition 2014-2018•Concours condition•The most famous of all 'James Bond' Aston MartinsFootnotes:'Racing has played a major part in the development of all Aston Martin engines since Frank Halford designed the original 1.5-litre unit for Bamford & Martin. The 3,995cc 6-cylinder light alloy engine fitted to the DB5 is in all major respects the same as that which powered the 4-litre prototype which ran in the 1962 and 1963 Le Mans 24-Hour races.' – Autocar, 21st May 1965.Aston Martin's post-war evolution had taken a giant step forward in 1958 with the launch of the DB4. Classically proportioned, the Touring-designed body established an instantly recognisable look that would stand the marque in good stead until 1970 and is still being referenced in today's Aston Martins. At its launch in October 1958, the DB4 marked a major turning point for Aston Martin as it was the first car of the David Brown era which neither used a chassis derived from the experimental Atom of 1939 nor an engine co-designed by W O Bentley. Moreover, it was the first Aston Martin to carry Carrozzeria Touring's 'Superleggera' bodywork, in which light alloy panels were fixed to a supporting framework of light-gauge steel tubes. Although styled by Touring, the DB4's gorgeous fastback coachwork was built under license at Newport Pagnell by Aston Martin, which employed some of the finest panel beaters in the industry. The result was a car whose sleek lines were described as 'unmistakably Italian and yet... equally unmistakably Aston Martin'. When the DB4 was introduced, it was Britain's most powerful and fastest production car, and its aerodynamically styled, all-aluminium, Superleggera coachwork looked sensational, establishing a look that would endure for the next dozen years. Touring's Superleggera body construction had been deemed incompatible with the DB2/4-type multi-tubular spaceframe, so engineer Harold Beach drew up an immensely strong platform type chassis for the DB4. The DB2/4's trailing-link independent front suspension gave way to unequal-length wishbones while at the rear the DB4 sported a live axle located by a Watts linkage instead of its predecessor's Panhard rod. The Aston Martin DB4 was also the first of the DB models to employ the entirely new engine designed by Tadek Marek, which had first been seen at Le Mans the previous year in the DBR2. A Polish engineer who had joined the company in 1954, Marek had previously enjoyed a racing career and posts with General Motors and FIAT in Poland. He had designed tanks during WW2 and had arrived at Newport Pagnell from Austin. An all-alloy, twin-overhead-camshaft six like its predecessor, Marek's new 3,670cc engine featured 'square' bore and stroke dimensions of 92mm and developed its maximum power of 240bhp at 5,500rpm. The David Brown gearbox was a new four-speed all-synchromesh unit.Five (unofficially designated) series were built as the model gradually metamorphosed into the DB5. Introduced in July 1963, the Aston Martin DB5 boasted a 4.0-litre engine, this enlarged unit having been seen first in the Lagonda Rapide of 1961. Equipped with three SU carburettors, the '400' engine produced 282bhp at 5,500rpm and was mated to a four-speed/overdrive gearbox, a 'proper' ZF five-speed unit being standardised later. The DB5's distinctive cowled headlamps had first appeared on the DB4GT and the newcomer was the same size as the lengthened, 'Series V' DB4. Outwardly there was little to distinguish the DB5 from the last of the DB4s apart from twin fuel filler caps, though these had already appeared on some cars. Beneath the skin, however, there were numerous improvements including alternator electrics; Girling disc brakes instead of Dunlops; Sundym glass; electric windows; and an oil pressure gauge as standard equipment. From September 1964 the 314bhp, triple-Weber Vantage engine became available and was fitted to a total of 95 cars. The DB5 was also offered in convertible form (the 'Volante' name would not be applied to the soft-top Aston until the DB6's arrival), while independent coachbuilder Harold Radford offered a shooting brake conversion. 1,021 DB5s were manufactured between July 1963 and September 1965, a total that included 123 convertibles and 12 shooting brakes. The DB5 was the first and remains the most famous of all the 'James Bond' Aston Martins, having appeared in no fewer than five movies of the series beginning with Goldfinger in 1964. Equipped with rocket launchers and sundry other gadgets, 007's DB5 was finished in Silver Birch with red interior, in which specification it was later issued by Corgi Toys. This matching-numbers DB5 has had only four owners from new. The Aston spent 32 years off the road before being rescued as a 'barn find' some seven years ago. It was then treated to a body-off, chassis-upwards, full restoration by renowned marque specialist Rikki Cann, which took four years to complete and included rebuilding the engine to 4.2 litres capacity. The restoration cost almost £400,000 and is fully documented by invoices and photographs. Finished in its original exterior colour of Dubonnet Rosso, with Magnolia hide trim, and described by the private vendor as in concours condition throughout, 'GPA 655C' represents a wonderful opportunity to own what for many enthusiasts is the ultimate Aston Martin.

1930 Bentley 4½-Litre Vanden Plas-style TourerRegistration no. GC 7379Chassis no. PB 3544•Originally a saloon by Harrison•Present ownership since 1987•Carefully stored for the last 25 years•Requires re-commissioningFootnotes:W O Bentley proudly displayed the new 3-litre car bearing his name on Stand 126 at the 1919 Olympia Motor Exhibition, the prototype engine having fired up for the first time just a few weeks earlier. In only mildly developed form, this was the model which was to become a legend in motor racing history and which, with its leather-strapped bonnet, classical radiator design and British Racing Green livery has become the archetypal vintage sports car. Early success in the 1922 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, when Bentleys finished second, fourth and fifth to take the Team Prize, led to the introduction of the TT Replica (later known as the Speed Model). However, by the middle of the decade the 3-Litre's competitiveness was on the wane and this, together with the fact that too many customers had been tempted to fit unsuitably heavy coachwork to the excellent 3-Litre chassis rather than accept the expense and complexity of Bentley's 6½-Litre 'Silent Six', led to the introduction of the '4½'. The new 4½-Litre model effectively employed the chassis, transmission and brakes of the 3-Litre, combined with an engine that was in essence two-thirds of the six-cylinder 6½-litre unit. Thus the new four-cylinder motor retained the six's 100x140mm bore/stroke and Bentley's familiar four-valves-per-cylinder fixed-'head architecture, but reverted to the front-end vertical camshaft drive of the 3-Litre. Bentley Motors lost no time in race-proving its new car. It is believed that the first prototype engine went into the 3-Litre chassis of the 1927 Le Mans practice car. Subsequently this same engine was fitted to the first production 4½-Litre chassis for that year's Grand Prix d'Endurance at the Sarthe circuit. The original 4½-Litre car, nicknamed by the team 'Old Mother Gun' and driven by Frank Clement and Leslie Callingham, promptly set the fastest race lap of 73.41mph before being eliminated in the infamous 'White House Crash' multiple pile-up. The 4½-Litre was produced for four years, all but ten of the 667 cars being built on the 3-Litre's 'Long Standard', 10' 10'-wheelbase chassis. Purchasers of the 4½-Litre model were, in common with those of all Vintage-period Bentleys, free to specify their preferences from a very considerable range of mechanical and electrical equipment, in addition to whatever body style and coachbuilder might be required. This 4½-Litre Bentley is one of the 657 built on the long (10' 10') chassis and originally carried saloon coachwork by R Harrison & Son of Stanhope Street, London NW1, a relative stone's throw from Bentley's factory in Cricklewood. Its first owner was one E B Graham and the Bentley retains its original registration, 'GC 7379'. At an unknown date, the original body was removed and a Vanden Plas-style tourer body fitted.'GC 7379' was purchased by the vendor's deceased husband in 1987 (carbon-copy purchase invoice on file). The history file's contents show that various works were undertaken thereafter, including replacing the wheel hubs, rebuilding the wheels, and other mechanical refurbishment as detailed in sundry invoices. Its late owner used the Bentley to attend shows and rallies, and drove the car as often as he could; indeed, he attempted to use all his cars at least once a month. The vendor's husband died in 1996, and his collection of cars remained mostly unused thereafter. This car, together with others from the same vendor, has been standing for up to 25 years and like the others, was running and usable when laid-up. They were all stored in a purpose-built, heated and dehumidified building, which the deceased gentleman had commissioned solely for the purpose of housing his cars. Having been standing for that period of time, they will require careful re-commissioning and safety checks prior to use by a new owner. Presently on SORN, the Bentley is equipped with a full hood, hood cover, and tonneau cover. Accompanying documentation includes a current V5C; a copy old V5; a quantity of expired MoT certificates; some photographs; an original Bentley 4½-Litre sales brochure; miscellaneous papers; and the aforementioned assorted invoices, etc. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1928 Bentley 6½-Litre TourerRegistration no. PF 6205Chassis no. TW2702•Competed in the first BDC race at Brooklands in 1936•Modified and tuned by L C 'Mac' McKenzie•Present ownership since 1990•Carefully stored for the last 25 yearsFootnotes:With characteristic humility 'W O' was constantly amazed by the enthusiasm of later generations for the products of Bentley Motors Limited, and it is testimony to the soundness of his engineering design skills that so many of his products have survived. From the humblest of beginnings in a mews garage off Baker Street, London in 1919 the Bentley rapidly achieved fame as an exciting fast touring car, well able to compete with the best of European and American sports cars in the tough world of motor sport in the 1920s. Bentley's domination at Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930 is legendary, and one can only admire the Herculean efforts of such giants as Woolf Barnato, Jack Dunfee, Tim Birkin and Sammy Davis, consistently wrestling the British Racing Green sports cars to victory. W O Bentley proudly unveiled the new 3-litre car bearing his name on Stand 126 at the 1919 Olympia Motor Exhibition, the prototype engine having fired up for the first time just a few weeks earlier. Bentley's four-cylinder 'fixed head' engine incorporated a single overhead camshaft, four-valves per cylinder, and a bore/stroke of 80x149mm. In only mildly developed form, this was the model that was to become a legend in motor racing history and which, with its leather-strapped bonnet, classical radiator design and British Racing Green livery, has become the archetypal Vintage sports car. Early success in the 1922 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, when Bentleys finished second, fourth, and fifth to take the Team Prize, led to the introduction of the TT Replica (later known as the Speed Model) on the existing 9' 9½' wheelbase, short standard chassis. However, by the middle of the decade the 3-Litre's competitiveness was on the wane and this, together with the fact that too many customers had been tempted to fit unsuitably heavy coachwork to the excellent 3-Litre chassis, led to the introduction in 1926 of a larger car: the 6½-Litre. Known as the 'Silent Six', the latter perpetuated the 3-Litre's mechanical theme but with greatly increased refinement. 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. The 6½-Litre was produced for four years, during which time 544 chassis were completed, the Standard/Speed Six split being 362/182. This particular 6½-Litre, registration number 'PF 6205', is one of only 21 erected on the short standard ST1 (11') chassis. First owned by H B Pope of Woking, the car is illustrated in Dr Clare Hay's Bentley: The Vintage Years (illustration 122 in the 1997 edition). The notes to the illustration state: 'A drop-head coupé by Freestone & Webb, here fitted to a 11' 0' chassis photographed February 1927. By elimination this would appear to be Chassis no. TW2702, originally registered PF 6205. The body is described as a Weymann pattern leather covered sports, the very compact appearance disguising the size well. PF 6205 was rebuilt by McKenzie for Noel Sissons, with raised compression and triple carbs, and took part in the first all-Bentley race at Brooklands in 1936. The chassis was later reregistered as PPH 222 with a two-seater body, which has since been restored as a four-seater and re-reregistered PF 6205.' An earlier (1985) edition of Hay notes the owner at that time as one R T E Creswell Esq.Another document on file states that the original Freestone & Webb body was replaced in the mid-1930s with a lighter sports body for competition work. The engine was said to have been modified and tuned by the ace Bentley tuner L C 'Mac' McKenzie to produce more power that the 'Works' Speed Six cars. 'PF 6205' was not only said to have competed in the first BDC race at Brooklands in 1936 and but also at the Lewes Speed Trials. The aforementioned Richard Timothy E Cresswell is recorded as previous keeper on an old V5 in the history file, which also contains two old log books, an RF60 dating from 17th February 1954, and a VE60 dating from 6th April 1976, both relating to the registration 'PPH 222', chassis number 'BR1234', and engine number 'WK2675'. An auction listing included in the history file suggests that the car was 're-registered as PPH 222, presumably (as was done in many cases) to take advantage of the £10.00 tax concession, but the present owner restored the registration in 1984'. Given the different chassis number recorded in these logbooks, it would seem that the car was not reregistered, but simply run carrying the plates belonging to 'PPH 222'!The history file contains a photocopy of a Bentley ledger recording the car's history up to 1937 and includes a reference to an accident in 1932, which may be when it was first re-bodied. Another type of body appears to have been fitted when it was masquerading as 'PPH 222', while another photocopied photograph in the history file has been inscribed 'Lewes Speed Trials 1937 Autocar' and shows the 'PF 6205' registration. In the 23rd November 1988 issue of Autocar & Motor, 'PF 6205' was road-tested alongside the then current Bentley Turbo R (copy on file).'PF 6205' was purchased by the vendor's deceased husband in February 1990 (purchase invoice on file). Its late owner used the Bentley to attend shows and rallies, and drove the car as often as he could; indeed, he attempted to use all his cars at least once a month.This car, together with others from the same vendor, has been standing for up to 25 years and like the others, was running and usable when laid-up. The vendor's husband died in 1996, and his collection of cars remained mostly unused thereafter.
