- Built to special order with an upgraded engine and experimental features - Bodied by Park Ward with alloy panels over a steel support frame - Owned by various RR directors up until 1951 and numerous VIPs thereafter Further Info: To woefully misquote Shakespeare, `Some motorcars are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.' All three sentiments are arguably applicable to Rolls-Royce Wraith chassis WMB 11. The Rolls was built in 1939 to the order of Sir Arthur Sidgreaves OBE and endowed with a special alloy Park Ward body that features a steel base attached directly to the chassis - ie unlike most similar vehicles of the period, it has no wooden frame. At that time Sidgreaves was the Managing Director of Rolls-Royce and specified the car should be equipped with the uprated engine from his outgoing Wraith, chassis WXA 1, and even ordered the transfer of the radio and clock from that car. The engine and other items of running gear are derivatives of the corresponding Bentley MKV units. However, chassis WMB 11 also became Sir Arthur's personal test bed for the developments of the moment and, according to the vendor, the related chassis card notes added by the departmental managers suggest he was not always the easiest of people to please. And small wonder - this was the formidable businessman who purchased the assets of WO Bentley for Rolls-Royce from under the noses of Napier, and the man who had the foresight to join forces with Sir Robert McLean of Vickers over the manufacture of the Spitfire. His right-hand man in those testing times was Baron Ernest Hives and it was to him that tenure of the chassis WMB 11 passed in 1945. The relationship was relatively short-lived, however, and a year later the motorcar moved to the then Chairman of the company, Captain Eric Smith, whose daughter Fortune was awarded the title of `Her Grace the Dowager Duchess of Grafton' by Her Majesty the Queen in 2011. The final Rolls-Royce director to be placed in charge of this unique Wraith was A G Elliott who, like Sidgreaves joined the company from Napier, rising from Chief Engineer of the Aero Division to overall Executive Vice Chairman. This very important car would have played host to many of the United Kingdom's most influential VIPs at one time or another all of whom could have sat in comfort and enjoyed the near silent engine that the Wraith is renowned for. It was in 1951 that the Wraith finally left the clutches of its mother company and was purchased by Sir Frederick Arthur Montague `Boy' Browning, whose address was given as Buckingham Palace, London SW1 for at the time he serves as comptroller and treasurer to her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth. A man of many talents in his own right, he was also the husband or the famed novelist Daphne du Maurier. Between 1954 and 1961 chassis WMB 11 was the property of Sir Brian Warren of Chester Square, London - a man who was responsible for the health of Sir Winston Churchill during his Downing Street years and then became the personal physician to Ted Heath. Between 1961 and 1963 tenure passed to Dame Josephine Barnes, also of Chester Square, who became the first female President of the British Medical Association. It was then owned by a Mr L Scull of Nottingham and Professor Ken Britten (among other things, the inventor of the heated windscreen) prior to its acquisition by the vendor. At that stage the car was in need of extensive recommissioning. The body has since been stripped and repainted in Maroon and the brightwork rechromed, the interior re-trimmed, and the unique Perspex sunroof renewed. Chassis WMB 11 now looks stunning inside and out can proceed with haste in silence Not only is it a fine motorcar but, as can be seen from the foregoing, for many years played a notable role in the history of Rolls-Royce itself.
Lot 2028
- Many thousands spent on upkeep including an engine overhaul as supported by the comprehensive history file - Original features to include tool tray, Centre Cabinet with Drink Requisites and Vanity Mirror - All known keepers from new Further Info: Produced between 1946 and 1959, the Silver Wraith was the last Rolls-Royce to be delivered in chassis form alone, of which a total of 1883 were laid down - 1244 with 117in wheelbase and 639 with the 133in wheelbase that was standard from 1953. Many were purchased for official duties and featured formal limousine-style coachwork - eg Silver Wraiths served as state cars for the Dutch, Danish and Greek royal households and the Irish and Brazilian presidencies. The capacity of the straight-six engine rose from an initial 4257cc to 4566cc in 1951 and was, further increased to 4887cc during 1954. Early examples were only available with four-speed manual transmission, but from 1952 onwards there was the option of a General Motors automatic unit. The model has frequently starred on the silver screen, making appearances in `Witness for the Prosecution', `The return of the Pink Panther', `Arthur', `Batman' and `Batman Returns', to name but a few of its many movie credits. The righthand drive 1955 Silver Wraith on offer is a six-light Touring Saloon with coachwork by Park Ward to design No.550. Complete with electric division, it was first owned by Leeds-based printing machinery manufacturers R W Crabtree & Sons. It is nowadays resplendent in Silver Grey coachwork complemented by a Red hide interior. The vendor describes the bodywork, paintwork and automatic transmission as `good' and the engine as being in `sound running order'. The Rolls's many original features include a tool tray; centre cabinet with glasses and decanter; vanity mirror; period working radio; driver's manual; factory build records; and large history file that includes details of the former keepers, the second of whom is said to have carried Sir Winston Churchill as a passenger. The many thousands of pounds invested in `RGH 484' in the last 24 years include a comprehensive engine overhaul.

- A pleasingly original and matching numbers example - Repainted this year, recently serviced with an engine overhaul c.2006 - Accompanied by Owners and Maintenance manuals Further Info: 1 of just 1,302 made, this handsome left-hand drive 911T Targa is a Federal specification example manufactured in March 1973 and distributed to its first owner via Porsche Cars San Francisco. The comprehensive specification included from new: sports seats, audio speakers and aerial, leather steering wheel, 911S-style oil tank, and front seat covers. The Porsche was imported into the UK in 2003 by a previous British keeper, at which point it was treated to a restoration by Gantspeed - this included a thorough overhaul of the 140bhp 2.4-litre engine and the suspension and braking systems, plus a respray in Blood Orange (the original colour was Chrome Yellow). Since 2012, `YJL 93L' has been largely maintained by independent marque specialist GCR Central of South Wigston, Leics, who have been responsible for replacing the fuel injection system, dampers and tyres. Last year the car was employed by Porsche Cambridge to assist with the launch of the new 991 Targa. They also performed a Classic Car Service on the vehicle in July. A fresh respray in Blood Orange was carried out as recently as March of this year. The vendor currently considers the 911's bodywork, paintwork, flat-six engine and five-speed manual transmission to all be in `excellent' order, and the Black leatherette trim to be `complete and very good'. He is now offering this very attractive, matching numbers Porsche complete with: Fuchs alloy wheels; original owners' and maintenance books; original Blaupunkt radio modified for iPod connectivity; Porsche Cars Great Britain Certificate of Authenticity; and an MOT certificate valid to August 16, 2015. Values of early 911s such as this F Series example have been climbing fast of late, so `YJL 93L' provides the opportunity of enjoying `fun in the sun' motoring aboard an appreciating asset, and if that's not better that money in the bank, we don't know what is!
