Lot 150
1934 Mercedes-Benz W25 streamlined record car. Made by John Day. In white metal, painted in silver. Fitted with exhaust pipe, enclosed streamlined cockpit and spoked wheels. VGC-Mint. See Plate 4 Note: In 1934, Rudolf Caracciola succeeds in establishing several class records on the Gyon speed track in Hungary and on the Avus in a modified W 25. On 30th October he establishes a world record, covering a measured mile in 30.71 seconds with a standing start. The performance of the record car was increased to 430hp, its transmission ratios were changed, and its cockpit was equipped with a lining which made Caracciola dub the car the ‘racing limousine’, but apart from that, it had the same design features as a standard W 25 racing car. It achieved a speed of 317.5kmh.
Lot 162
1912 Sunbeam Coupe De L’Auto racing car. In white metal painted in BRG. Nicely detailed with steering wheel, bonnet strap, white painted exhaust pipe, spoked wheels with white rubber tyres. VGC a few small parts loose. See Plate 5 Note: Louis Coatalen was born in Brittany in 1879. In France, he worked for Panhard, Clement and De Dion Bouton. On arriving in England, he worked (purely coincidentally) for Humber and Hillman before joining Sunbeam in 1909. Four Sunbeams were entered for the French Grand Prix and Coupe De L’Auto in June 1912. The cars finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the Coupe De L’Auto and 3rd, 4th and 5th in the Grand Prix. Sunbeam instantly became internationally famous. By 1913, Peugeot were dominating racing although a Sunbeam finished 4th at Indianapolis. That year Sunbeam also began to participate in record-breaking.Louis Coatalen “acquired” a Peugeot and studied it closely before designing new cars for 1914. His friend Dario Resta brought the Peugeot to England to show it throughout the country. In Wolverhampton, Resta inadvertently left the Peugeot somewhere convenient for it to be taken to Coatalen’s house. There it was stripped overnight with every significant part being measured and sketched. By morning it had been reassembled. Kenelm Lee Guinness (as in KLG spark plugs) won the 1914 Tourist Trophy in one of the Peugeot-inspired Sunbeams. Motor racing was about to take a backseat, however. With Europe on the brink of war, Sunbeam’s efforts were to be directed elsewhere.
