Offered for sale by the Hurlock family1910 AC SociableRegistration no. KT 8655Chassis no. 9726*Historic early AC three-wheeler*Purchased by Derek Hurlock in 1967*Displayed at AC Cars' headquarters*Exhibited at the National Motor Museum and Brooklands Museum*Eligible for the Pioneer RunFootnotes:Having abandoned plans to produce a 20hp touring car, John Weller turned his not inconsiderable design talents to something more mundane: a three-wheeled commercial delivery vehicle that would suit the needs of his businessman backer, John Portwine. Called the 'Auto-Carrier' this timber-framed device was powered by a single-cylinder, 636cc, air-cooled (by fans) engine mounted beneath the driver's seat and driving the rear wheel, via a two-speed epicyclic gearbox, by chain. Steering was by means of a tiller, with goods carried in a box between the front wheels. Introduced in 1904, the Auto-Carrier was an immediate success, being a quicker and more efficient means of transporting goods around towns and cities than either horses or bicycles. Weller's versatile little commercial vehicle was bought by individual retailers as well as many major chains and department stores, some of which operated fleets of them. A passenger version - the Sociable - arrived in 1907, a second seat replacing the goods box. It was at this time that the name was abbreviated to 'AC' using the Art Nouveau-style lettering forever associated with the marque. A three-seater followed and then the definitive version with side-by-side seating for the driver and a single passenger. Exported widely throughout the British Empire and beyond, the Sociable was for many people their first experience of powered transport. Many private owners entered their Sociables in the popular reliability trials of the day, and one was even timed at 47mph at Brooklands. Hard hit by the prevailing economic recession, AC Cars went into liquidation in 1930 and was bought by the Hurlock brothers, Charles and William, proprietors of a successful road haulage business which also sold and serviced cars and lorries. The Hurlocks had purchased the AC premises in order to obtain more space for their existing businesses; it was never their intention to become car manufacturers, yet in October 1933 AC was back at the London Motor Show. After the Second World War Derek joined his father William and brother Charles in running the family firm and AC would remain in the Hurlock family's control until the company was sold to a new owner in 1986. Derek Hurlock discovered this AC Sociable in Kent in the 1960s. Offered for sale by the Hurlock family, the vehicle comes with an old-style logbook, issued in 1967, recording William Derek Hurlock as owner and noting 'Registered under the Motor Car Act 1903 on 21st August 1916'. The engine capacity is given as 214cc. The vehicle also comes with a VCC Certificate of Dating (no. 1103) stating that it was manufactured in 1910.Formerly displayed at AC Cars' headquarters and showroom, 'KT 8655' was later displayed at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu for many years and more recently has been exhibited at the Brooklands Museum. The hood was renewed while the AC was at the NMM. There is a photograph on file showing the Sociable at AC's HQ together with a letter stating that it was first owned by W Padgham & Co of Ashford, Kent and used for trade purposes only. The vehicle last ran some years ago but was running when laid up for museum display. As an Edwardian-era three-wheeler, this historic AC Sociable is eligible for the Sunbeam Motor Cycle Club's popular Pioneer Run.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1920/21 Rolls-Royce 40/50hp Silver Ghost Doctor's Convertible CoupéRegistration no. XK 1702Chassis no. 26TE*Originally a Thrupp & Maberley limousine*Re-bodied in the USA*Present ownership since 1992*Rolls-Royce Alpine event participant in 2013, driven from the UK and backFootnotes:Although the 40/50hp model would have earned its 'The Best Car in the World' sobriquet in any event, Rolls-Royce's decision to drop all other types only served to focus attention on what would become known as the 'Silver Ghost'. Prior to 1908, when it relocated to a new factory in Derby, the company founded by engineer Henry Royce and entrepreneur the Honourable Charles Rolls had manufactured a variety of models at its Manchester premises. Cars with two, three, four and six cylinders were made, and even an abortive V8, before Managing Director Claude Johnson's decision to concentrate on the range-topping 40/50hp. The latter had first appeared at the 1906 Motor Show and became known as the 'Silver Ghost' the following year when chassis number '60551' was exhibited wearing silver-painted tourer coachwork by Barker. The heart of the Silver Ghost was its magnificent engine, a 7,036cc (later 7,428cc) sidevalve six equipped with seven-bearing crankshaft and pressure lubrication. A sturdy chassis comprised of channel-section side members and tubular cross members was suspended on semi-elliptic springs at the front and a 'platform' leaf-spring arrangement at the rear, though the latter soon came in for revision. The transmission too was soon changed, a three-speed gearbox with direct-drive top gear replacing the original four-speed/overdrive top unit in 1909. In the course of its 20-year production life there would be countless other improvements to the car, one of the most important being the adoption of servo-assisted four-wheel brakes towards the end of 1923. After a successful 2,000-mile trial under RAC supervision, the factory demonstrator - chassis '60551', 'The Silver Ghost' - was entered in the Scottish Reliability Trial, completing the 15,000-mile run with flying colours to set a new World Record. From then on the car's reputation was assured, not the least in North America where the wide-open spaces placed a premium on reliability and comfort. Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost chassis number '26TE' was completed in December 1920 and sent to Thrupp & Maberley for bodying as a limousine that same month; it was finished and first registered in 1921. The first owner was a Mr C H Whittington, who took delivery in August 1921. The Ghost is known to have been sold by Dunbar & Sons in Edinburgh in 1927. Sold by Scott Moncrief in 1967, the car was shipped to Florida in the 1980s and returned to the UK immediately prior to being sold at auction in 1992 where it was bought by the current owner. Believed fitted in the USA, the doctor's coupé body was converted to convertible configuration by Frenchay Garage, Bristol when the car entered UK circa 1992. Other noteworthy features include dickey seat accommodation, a folding luggage rack, rear-wheel brakes, a self-starter, and André Hartford shock absorbers. Since acquisition various works have been carried out by A J Glew and Coldwell Engineering to include rewiring the electrics; a partial engine overhaul; brakes relined; dynamo overhauled; and a new clutch bearing housing and clutch bearing fitted. While in the current ownership the Ghost has completed the Rally of New Zealand and the Rolls-Royce Alpine event in 2013, driven from the UK and back. 'XK 1702' has also taken part in '20 Ghost Club' events during the current ownership. The car comes complete with a Dunlop wheel spanner, a copper mallet, a period oil gun and jack, and its original 'Spirit of Ecstasy' mascot.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 206
1903 Thornycroft 20hp Four-Cylinder Double PhaetonRegistration no. AA 575Chassis no. BZ 14*Rare passenger car from a renowned commercial vehicle manufacturer*Owned by company founder Mr Tom Thornycroft until 1957*Fully restored*Present ownership since 1987*100% London-Brighton finishing record*Entry in the 2020 London-Brighton Veteran Car Run, no. 206Footnotes:Thornycroft was founded in 1864 as a shipbuilder before diversifying into road transport in 1896 with the introduction of a steam-powered van. The company is best known as a manufacturer of commercial vehicles, its time as a maker of passenger cars being relatively short, lasting from 1903 to 1913. Production began with twin-cylinder 10hp and four-cylinder 20hp designs, which featured automatic inlet valves, gill-tube radiators, and shaft drive. Thornycroft cars were of high quality and well regarded, but the demands of the firm's successful commercial vehicle division were such that it was forced to end car production after some 450 had been completed. This rare four-cylinder Veteran motor car comes with an exceptional history having been owned by Mr Tom Thornycroft (one of the company's founders) until 1957. Mr John Brown purchased the car that year; he then sold it to Mr John Carter but must have missed this exceptional machine as he repurchased it later on. 'AA 575' has had only four owners from new.Previous owner T L Roberts acquired the Thornycroft in 1987 and can be credited for the immaculate condition the car is in today. Works carried out during his ownership include a full 'last nut and bolt' body-off restoration. The engine and gearbox were removed and the engine fully stripped, with all parts crack-tested; the crankshaft reground; new white metal bearings made for big-ends and mains; cylinder blocks re-bored and new pistons manufactured; new primary gears manufactured for the distributor drive; the inlet valves reconditioned; and the carburettor overhauled. One spare piston was made and all the old ones kept.Turning to the transmission: the clutch (fluid type) was fully reconditioned including new drive plates, and the gearbox stripped and new gears manufactured as necessary; modern oil seals and all new bearings were fitted prior to re-assembly. The prop-shaft was remanufactured to include stronger 'U' couplings, and the rear axle stripped and rebuilt with new bearings and modern seals. The fuel tank was remade and increased in capacity, and is now housed under the driver's seat, while a fuel system isolator is fitted to the offside of the car. New outboard brake shoes were manufactured and the rear springs re-tensioned with an extra leaf fitted. Suspension stops were fitted to balance the rear. The coolant tank was restored and installed beneath the rear floor, accessed via a special cover. Side steps and floorboards were re-covered, and all bodywork stripped and repaired with new woodwork where necessary. The body was then painted to a very high standard, including hand-applied coachlines, and all leatherwork replaced with buttoned Connolly hide. The rear section of the double phaeton coachwork is original to the car and would have been removed and stored during the winter months, while the front section has been rebuilt to the exact original design. Running boards were added and a replica front seat made.The front windscreen surround and all its fittings were manufactured in brass using castings taken from a 1913 Silver Ghost. To improve weather protection, fully enclosed side screens were made and a useful storage case added at the rear, while the willow basket and umbrella basket were specially commissioned for this car. The original rear tonneau and all fittings, including the rear window and irons, have been retained. The artillery wheels were fully restored, painted and lined, and all lamps refinished. A bespoke starter motor has been installed, operated by a discreet switch; it is powered by two 12-volt batteries in a box beneath the rear seats, and there is an isolator switch in the nearside seat compartment. The epitome of Edwardian style, this magnificent Thornycroft has been meticulously maintained and has a 100% completion record for the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. Operation is simple: tickle the carburettor, flick on the ignition, and the car is ready to go, starting equally well when turned either by handle or the starter motor. Equipped with a 2½-litre four-cylinder engine and a three-speed gearbox, the Thornycroft is a capable performer and has often completed the run to Brighton with as many as six people on board. No jumping out to push up Burgess Hill with this Thornycroft! Should the weather turn inclement, the handsome pram hood is easily erected by one person. Fascinating details abound on this beautifully presented 'Brass Era' motor car, which has the added advantage of an entry in this year's London to Brighton Veteran Car Run.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1904 Rambler 7hp Model H Rear-Entrance TonneauRegistration no. BS 8435Chassis no. 4596*Famous American make*Imported into the UK in 2005*VCC Dated*Many-time London-Brighton Run participant*Entry in the 2020 London-Brighton Veteran Car Run, no. 152Footnotes:Producers of bicycles under the 'Rambler' brand name, partners R Philip Gormully and Thomas B Jeffery diversified into automobile manufacture as early as 1897 with a single-cylinder gasoline engined car. Thomas's son Charles then built two cars of improved design and the company exhibited at the Chicago and New York auto shows in the autumn of 1900. These first Jeffery-designed cars were of front-engined, left-hand drive configuration, marking them out as advanced among contemporary American automobiles.Following the death of Philip Gormully, the Jefferys sold their bicycle business and set up as automobile manufacturers in a new state-of-the-art factory in Kenosha, Wisconsin, producing the Charles Jeffery car in revised form. Doubtful that the public would accept a front-engined, left-hand drive vehicle with wheel steering, Thomas Jeffery opted for conventionality in the form of a right-drive, tiller steered car with its engine mounted beneath the seat, the first of these new Ramblers being sold in February 1902. A high quality vehicle offered at a value-for-money price of $750, the Rambler was an instant success, selling 1,500 units in its first year of production, a figure bettered only by Ransom Eli Olds' curved dash Oldsmobile. Larger, twin-cylinder models followed - some with front engines - and wheel steering had been reinstated by 1904, in which year 2,342 Ramblers were sold.Moving up market, Rambler had discontinued its single-cylinder models by 1905 and introduced a brace of fours. The 1910 range consisted of four-cylinder models only and by this time Rambler was established as one of the US auto industry's leading firms. Following Thomas Jeffrey's death that same year, the company continued with Charles at the helm, but from 1914 onwards its products would be badged as 'Jeffery'. A famous name had gone.The Rambler offered here is a 7hp Model H: a right-hand drive, single-cylinder model equipped with all-round elliptic springing, throttle control, from-the-seat starting, detachable tonneau and the correct Badger brothers 'solar' brass side lamps and headlamp. The car was purchased in America in 2005 from long term family ownership and imported by the vendor. Since arriving in this country the Rambler has taken part in several London-Brighton Runs and many VCC rallies including the Creepy Crawley. The vendor has described the car as easy to start, reliable and a pleasure to drive. Recently the wheels have been rebuilt and new tyres have been fitted. Offered with an entry into the 2020 London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, as well as several files of history documentation and a V5C Registration Certificate and the VCC dating certificate. There is also a windscreen and canopy roof which can be collected directly from the vendor by arrangement.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of the late Anthony Clark1929 Bugatti Type 40 Grand Sport TourerRegistration no. MT 4870Chassis no. 40764*Delivered new to the UK*Outstandingly original and authentic*Present family ownership since 1957*An older restoration*Full history from 1957 onwardsFootnotes:'Bugattis encapsulate concepts of engineering which, once seen, change your ideas radically and definitively. Drive them, and you realise that each car is form and engineering in equilibrium, and a work of art.' – William Stobbs, Les Grandes Routières.By the early 1930s, Ettore Bugatti - 'Le Patron' - had established an unrivalled reputation for building cars with outstanding performance on road or track, the world's greatest racing drivers enjoying countless successes aboard the Molsheim factory's products and often choosing them for their everyday transport. Bugatti's origins, though, were a far cry from the glamorous world of Grands Prix. Italian-born engineer Ettore Bugatti had learned his trade with De Dietrich, Mathis and Deutz before setting up his own factory in 1910 at Molsheim in Alsace, which was then part of Germany. While with Deutz he designed the Type 10, its number reflecting his nine previous designs, and this would serve as the prototype for the first Molsheim-built Bugatti: the Type 13. Introduced in 1910 and the first Bugatti production car, the Type 13 was powered by a four-cylinder, single-overhead-camshaft, 8-valve engine of 1,327cc, which drove via a four-speed gearbox and was mounted in a short-wheelbase chassis carrying a simple open two-seater body. Making its debut at the 1910 Paris Salon, the Type 13 was described by The Autocar as a 'most delightful looking runabout'. Developed from the first Bugatti to be built at Molsheim - the aforementioned Type 13 of 1910 - the Type 13 Brescia took that name following the factory's first four places at the 1921 Italian Grand Prix for Voiturettes, held at the eponymous racetrack in Lombardy. Longer wheelbase Type 22 and Type 23 models were made, both of which used the single-overhead-camshaft 16-valve Brescia engine and were built alongside 8-valve Petit Pur Sang versions. Introduced in 1926, the Type 40 Bugatti succeeded the Brescia types, being built on a longer wheelbase and equipped with a more powerful engine. Virtually identical to that used in the Type 37 Grand Prix car, the latter was a four-cylinder unit displacing 1,496cc and incorporating an all-plain-bearing bottom end with five mains. A single overhead camshaft operated three valves per cylinder (two inlets, one exhaust) and the Type 40's maximum power output of 45bhp or thereabouts was transmitted to the rear wheels via a separate four-speed gearbox. A total of 790 Type 40s had been made when production ceased in May 1931, with a further 40 Type 40As completed with the 1,627cc engine by the end of that year. It is estimated that fewer then 200 survive today. Bugatti Type 40 number '40764' was purchased by the late Tony Clark in August 1957 having been seen advertised in The Autocar. The car belonged to the son of the owner of an engineering company, C J Driver, in nearby Great Barr, Birmingham. In Tony's own words: 'I drove it for a few miles and realised it needed a lot doing to it. It spent the next 12 months under a sheet on the front drive until I had another garage built. I then decided to take it apart. The body was taken off and stored at work for 10 years. I did a lot of restoration work myself although the engine was rebuilt by experts. The car was mostly original apart from the electrics and I didn't expect to find Lucas lamps and starter on a French car. Over the years I managed to locate everything I needed which was the part I enjoyed. I eventually got the body back home and brush painted it myself which turned out well. It took another 10 years to complete and take out for the first time. It has a crash gearbox, i.e. no synchromesh, which takes a little getting used to. It handles very well and the brakes, although cable operated, are very good.'It has a hood and side screens which do their best to keep the rain out. I have driven it all over England and taken it on rallies to Italy and Alsace. Apart from the ignition switch breaking it has never let me down. It cruises at 60mph with a maximum speed of 80mph.'Tony Clark's pride and joy for over 63 years, 'MT 4870' comes with a complete history file to include all documentation and comprehensive invoices from 1957 onwards, including the original sales receipt and The Autocar advertisement. Also included are photographs by Tony Clark and previous owners; information on involvement in rallies and other events in the UK and overseas; letters of enquiry regarding original parts and spares; and letters from well-known Bugatti luminaries Jack Lemon Burton, Bugatti Molsheim, Fritz Schlumpf, Hugh Conway, Henry Posner, Ivan Dutton, and Godfrey Eaton. The car also comes with MoTs and a V5C Registration Certificate.'MT 4870' started life in Southport, Lancashire and some photographs have recently been found of its early days. From emails received recently, and a stereoscopic colour transparency, the first owner's initials have been established as A. J. F. Unfortunately, their name is not known. The earliest photographic record of the car dates from 1936 and depicts it in the Southport area with A. J. F. at the wheel, seemingly about to embark on a lengthy journey. The old-style continuation logbook lists the following subsequent owners: J A Macdonald, Haydock (1947)Kenneth Atkinson Lord, Southport (1950-1952)Maurice John Richards, Churchstoke (1953)Arthur John Churchley, Edgbaston (1953)Peter M Driver, Gloucester (1954)The car remains remarkably original, with all removed parts retained and any original parts required located from the UK and overseas. Described as in good condition, running well, the engine was started regularly up to the end of Tony's life, and fired up at first time of asking in July 2020 when the car was moved for storage. The chassis is said to be sound, with no rust, and the bodywork to be in excellent condition. The hand-painted finish has the charming patina of an older restoration, with only one or two minor marks reflecting its age. The black leather interior likewise has an excellent patina. There are no known problems associated with the transmission, and the electrics are said to be in good working order. A tonneau, hood and side screens in black canvas are included in the sale. Exceptionally original and benefiting from the long-term loving care of a dedicated Bugatti enthusiast, this delightful Type 40 is worthy of the closest inspection.Tony Clark (1927-2019)Tony Clark was born on 2nd April 1927 and passed away on 16th December 2019 aged 92. Tony was always interested in things mechanical and his first car was a 1939 Morris Eight two-seater. After serving in the Royal Navy during WW2 he went to run the family firm of W Clark & Co in Birmingham's jewellery quarter. On 2nd August 1957 Tony spotted an advertisement in The Autocar for a 1929 Bugatti Type 40 Grand Sport 1.5-litre four-seat tourer and managed to purchase it. Driving the car a few days later he realised that it needed quite a bit of work and so a new garage was constructed to house it. The body was removed and would spend the next ten years in storage while Tony undertook the Bugatti's restoration, although he sent the engine away to be rebuilt by experts. Tony was a member of the Morris Minor Club, the Bugatti Owners' Club, the Riley Register, the American Bugatti Club, and the VSCC, which he joined in 1957. The family recalls outings to Silverstone, Curborough, Madresfield and Prescott, always enjoying wonderful picnics whatever the weather. Tony loved all forms of transportation, especially anything steam driven - regular and narrow gauge railways, traction engines, etc - and also too...
