Lot 202
1908 Ford Model S Two-Seat Roadster Registration no. not registered Chassis no. 2382•Rare early Ford•Four-cylinder engine•Formerly part of the Harrah Collection•Purchased from the USA in 1990•Offered from a prominent private collection in Ireland•Running orderFootnotes:Having cut his teeth on a succession of prototypes and race-cars during the 1890s, Henry Ford buckled down to the somewhat less glamorous, yet considerably more profitable, business of mass production. His first volume-produced car - the 8hp Ford Model A runabout - was introduced in July 1903, and by the time of its replacement towards the end of 1904 a total of 670 had been made. The Model A's immediate successor – the Model C – was likewise twin-cylinder powered, while the Model B, another 1904 introduction, was Ford's first four-cylinder automobile and represented a move up market. All models used Ford's planetary transmission, the twins with chain final drive and the four with shaft drive. With the twin-cylinder models dropped after 1905, Ford offered the four-cylinder Model N and six-cylinder Model K for 1906. The Model N continued unchanged for 1907 alongside a more expensive version, the Model R, which featured foot boards in place of the N's carriage step and mechanical lubrication instead of a force-feed oiler. Mechanically the same as the Model R, the S was available as a Runabout with tonneau or a two-seat Roadster. The engine was a 149ci (2.4-litre) unit producing 15-18 horsepower, which drove via Ford's familiar two-speeds-plus-reverse planetary transmission and shaft final drive. In October 1908 Ford introduced the legendary Model T as a 1909 model, consigning its predecessors to the history books, and for the next two decades the Model T would be the only car offered by the 'Blue Oval'. This early four-cylinder Ford was purchased for the vendors' prominent private collection at auction in the USA in 1990. The previous owner was one E Long of Columbus, Ohio, and before that that the car was in the famed Harrah Collection in Reno, Nevada. Offered in running order, the car comes with a State of Ohio Certificate of Title.Please note that if this vehicle is to remain in the UK, it will be subject to Import VAT at the reduced rate of 5% on the hammer price.

c.1903 Stanley Model CX 6½hp Steam Runabout Registration no. BS 8546 Chassis no. 507 Engine no. 1200•Iconic American steam-powered passenger car•Listed in the Stanley Register•Extensively restored•Hydraulic and steam tests completed in October 2022Footnotes:'When all was well, the little Stanley runabouts probably provided more pleasurable motoring than anything else on the market at the turn of the century - that is if they were handled properly - they ran very quietly and with that effortless smoothness which no petrol car of the time could rival. They were also quite lively...' - Anthony Bird, 1967.Francis E and Freeland O Stanley were identical twins, whose Stanley Dry Plate Company produced photographic equipment. The brothers also designed steam cars, experimenting with a solitary prototype in 1887 before reviving the project in 1897. By the following year they had completed three more, one of which completed a spectacular demonstration in Charles River Park, Boston where it successfully scaled an 80ft incline that had defeated its rivals. Orders for 200 cars resulted and the Stanleys were in business. That first design was sold to John Brisben Walker and manufactured as the 'Locomobile', while the Stanleys progressed to a non-condensing engine driving the rear axle directly, with a rear-mounted boiler, production of which commenced in 1902. With Mobile out of business by 1903 and Locomobile by that time making petrol-engined cars, Stanley dominated the market and continued to do so until 1927 when steamer production ceased. Stanley's sole UK agent was F Wilkinson of Manchester.Listed in Kelly R Williams' Stanley Register and the Sprague Register (when owned by Art Hart), this CX runabout was previously purchased by one A Sinclair from a G Brese in the USA and imported in a partially dismantled state in June 2008. It was rebuilt with the assistance of F J Theobald (of the Steam Car Club) and on Mr Theobald's death was sold to a Mr T Gurr. The immediately preceding owner acquired the Stanley in February 2013 and a considerable amount of additional work was subsequently carried out, mainly by J R Goold Vintage Steam Restorations. The rebuild was completed in 2015. The boiler (and its larger-than-stock tank) are the only notified deviations from factory specification. The car's previous owner purchased the Stanley at Bonhams' London-Brighton Run sale in October 2015 (Lot 104), since when it has been on display in a heated barn and only used two or three times per year. Since acquisition, the vehicle has been tested annually by J R Goold, who have looked after it for many years. Last year they added a remote handle to the drains enabling operation from the driver's seat, but this can be returned to standard in 20 minutes with no damage to the car. By time of sale J R Goold will have completed the 10-year hydraulic test and live steam test, so the Stanley will come with new 10-year hydraulic and a one-year steam certification. Offered with a V5C document. This Lot is available to view at Classic Car Storage near Petersfield, Hampshire (by appointment with the Car Department only) from Monday 24th October to Wednesday 2nd November. It will then be available to view at Bonhams, 101 New Bond Street on Friday 4th November from 10am.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 205
1904 Oldsmobile 7hp 'Curved Dash' Runabout Registration no. BF 4661 Chassis no. to be advised•Imported from the USA•Present ownership for approximately 12 years•Frequent London-Brighton finisher•PRG trailer included (buyer to collect)Footnotes:Known as the 'Curved Dash' for obvious reasons, Ransom Eli Olds' gasoline-powered runabout was first offered for sale in 1901, following a fire at the factory that had destroyed every other prototype. Over 11,000 of the three Curved Dash models ('R', '6C' and 'B') were constructed before production ceased in 1907, making it the first volume produced American automobile. The Model 'R' runabout was powered by a single-cylinder, 1.6-litre engine of 114x152mm bore/stroke, mounted horizontally at the rear and producing 4½ horsepower at 600rpm. Later '6C' and 'B' models benefited from a more-powerful (7hp) 1.9-litre engine, and all featured two-speed transmission and chain final drive.Several improvements to the design were made during the course of production but the engine's basic layout remained unchanged. Two mechanically operated overhead valves were set side-by-side at 90 degrees to the cylinder axis, and the rocker arms had roller ends. An ignition contact-breaker was mounted on the end of the camshaft, and sparks provided by a trembler coil. By 1902, the mixer-type carburettor had been replaced by a float-less design, while a manually adjustable valve in the exhaust system vented exhaust gases via the silencer box or more or less straight to the atmosphere, the two settings presumably being intended for town and country use respectively. Cooling water was contained in a reservoir above the engine and circulated by a crankshaft-driven pump, mounted on the side of the chassis. The radiator's copper piping wound its way back and forth beneath the floor.Despite appearances to the contrary, the suspension's leaf-springs which linked the front and rear axles were not true half-elliptics like those fitted to the later model 'B' cars. On the 'R' and '6C' models, only the bottom leaf ran from front to rear, so it would be more accurate to describe these as four quarter-elliptics. Steering was by means of a tiller, a common enough method in the early 1900s, while there was a choice of brakes: one acting on the transmission, the other on the differential. The wheels were un-braked. Finished in the model's traditional black and maroon livery, this particular 'Curved Dash' has belonged to the vendor for approximately 12 years, having been imported from the USA, and while in his care has completed at least six London-Brighton Runs. The owner is 93 years old and only gave up flying his own light aircraft when he reached 80! The owner has worked on the car himself, and it is now fitted with a passenger side-step, a special valve lubricator, a new brass water tank, and an anti-locking device on the brakes when reversing. In addition, the track rods have been serviced and/or replaced. Notable features include a Stepney wheel, some tools, a wicker basket, hood and hood frame, side screens and a windshield (not currently fitted). The car is offered with a VCC dating certificate and comes with its own PRG trailer (buyer to collect). This Lot is available to view at Classic Car Storage near Petersfield, Hampshire (by appointment with the Car Department only) from Monday 24th October to Wednesday 2nd November. It will then be available to view at Bonhams, 101 New Bond Street on Friday 4th November from 10am.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 206
1904 Ford Model C 10hp Twin-Cylinder Two-Seat Runabout Registration no. 03 WX 02 (Republic of Ireland)•One of the rarest of early Fords•Purchased from the USA in 1992•Offered from a prominent private collection in Ireland•VCC DatedFootnotes:Having cut his teeth on a succession of prototypes and race-cars during the 1890s, Henry Ford buckled down to the somewhat less glamorous, yet considerably more profitable, business of mass production. His first volume-produced car - the 8hp Ford Model A runabout - was introduced in July 1903, and by the time of its replacement towards the end of 1904 a total of 670 had been made. The Model A's immediate successor – the Model C – was likewise twin-cylinder powered, while the Model B, another 1904 introduction, was Ford's first four-cylinder automobile and represented a move up market. All models used Ford's planetary transmission, the twins with chain final drive and the four with shaft drive. Production of Models A and C overlapped for a while, and the former could be ordered with the latter's more powerful (10hp) engine fitted, in which form it was known as the 'AC'. A top speed of 38mph was claimed for both cars. Although the Model C looked like a front-engined design, in fact the engine remained under the seat, while opening the bonnet revealed the fuel tank. Although he had a four-cylinder car in the range, Ford was not done yet with the twin-cylinder engine and introduced a final derivative – the Model F – in 1905. Larger and more luxurious than its predecessors, the Model F was powered by a 16hp engine and carried four-seater phaeton coachwork as standard. The Model C was last produced in 1905 - the final year of the twin-cylinder Ford - during which year a total of 1,599 cars of all types had been made. One of only a tiny handful known in Europe, this example of one of Henry Ford's final twin-cylinder designs was previously owned by Charles R Hutchison of Elgin, Illinois. The car was purchased for the vendors' prominent private collection in 1992 and is offered in running order. Accompanying documentation consists of a State of Illinois Certificate of Title and a VCC dating certificate (no. 2050, issued in 1995).Please note that if this vehicle is to remain in the UK, it will be subject to Import VAT at the reduced rate of 5% on the hammer price.

1904 Siddeley 12hp Twin-Cylinder Rear-Entrance Tonneau Registration no. H 1864 Chassis no. V85•The only known survivor of circa 31 12hp models built•Many-time London-Brighton competitor•Single family ownership since 1993•Last competed on the L-B Run in 2019Footnotes:The origins of the Siddeley marque may be traced back to 1892 when John Davenport Siddeley, a former racing cyclist for Humber, joined the latter as its sole designer. After a spell with The Pneumatic Tyre Company (late known as Dunlop), Siddeley set up his own Clipper tyre company in Coventry. Resigning from Clipper in 1901, he became the UK importer for Peugeot motor cars. The following year he set up the Siddeley Autocar Company, whose first product, perhaps not surprisingly, showed a strong Peugeot influence. Both the chassis and engine were imported at this time, but Siddeley wanted to free himself of foreign dependence and produce a wholly British car. Thus it came about that the first 'proper' Siddeley motor cars were manufactured by Wolseley and assembled by Vickers, JDS having concluded a deal with Wolseley's parent company, Vickers Sons & Maxim. These early British-built Siddeleys incorporated many advanced features, having vertical engines (rather than horizontal), aluminium cylinder blocks, and shaft drive. Impressed by Siddeley's products, Wolseley took over his company early in 1905, keeping John on as Sales Manager. From then until 1910 these vertical-engined cars were marketed under the Wolseley-Siddeley brand name. By then John Siddeley had left to join the Deasy company, giving rise to the Siddeley-Deasy marque. When Siddeley-Deasy was taken over by Armstrong Whitworth & Co in 1919, the motor manufacturing side of the business was reorganised as Armstrong-Siddeley. Known as the 'Green Goddess' (named after the brass pixie mascot on the bonnet), this early Siddeley is the only known survivor of approximately 31 12hp cars built during this period. Pictured in Ray Cook's book, Armstrong Siddeley – the Parkside story (page 11), 'H 1864' is powered by a vertical twin-cylinder engine featuring an aluminium block and mechanical valves, while the cylinder liners and heads are cast-iron. Lubrication is by total loss, and the engine's operating range is between 80 and 1,800rpm. The gearbox contains four forward speed plus reverse. Both the foot and hand brakes operate on the rear wheels only. The rear-mounted 8-gallon fuel tank is pressurised initially by a hand pump, switching to exhaust gas pressurisation when the engine is running. An exhaust cut-out valve is fitted. The car has a top speed of 28mph and returns around 20 miles per gallon. In 1993, the Siddeley was purchased by the lady vendor's late husband from Mrs R V Hazell via agent Mr A J Cousins, who was brother-in-law of the late George Hazell, the car's owner for several decades. At the time of purchase the buyer, Mr Baxendale, noted that the car required a repaint, radiator repair, brake overhaul and a full mechanical check. The Siddeley was a two-seater at that time, but it is understood to have had a tonneau body originally (according to the Dating Certificate). Subsequently a new rear-entrance tonneau body was fabricated by Bryan Goodman and then painted and trimmed (drawings and bills on file). The car had completed a few London-Brighton Runs with Mr Baxendale (a committed and enthusiastic Armstrong Siddeley Club member) prior to his untimely death in the late 1990s. Since then the car has been run regularly on the London-Brighton Run by family and Club members, even transporting Fiona Bruce one year for an edition of Antiques Roadshow. It last completed the London-Brighton Run in 2019 and has not be used since.The car comes with history files containing, among other documents, a hand-written list of L-B entries dating back to 1946; a duplicate VCC Dating Certificate (No. 111); the 1993 bill of sale; a V5C Registration Certificate; assorted correspondence; and a quantity of old MoTs and invoices.
