Lot 12
- Supplied new to John Evans of Swansea and chauffeur driven until 1932 - Bodied by John Norman (Cardiff) Ltd, restored late 1990s / early 2000s - Said to possess 'very good' 3.9 litre engine, gearbox and interior Further Info: The nameplate inside its driver's door shows this delightful four-door four-seat Touring Buick to have been bodied by John Norman Coachbuilder (Cardiff) Ltd, Wales, the country it remained in until purchased by the Somerset-based vendor last year. The car's first owner was textile importer John Hugh Evans of Swansea, who evidently employed a chauffeur to drive him between the stores to whom he sold cloth and haberdashery. In 1932 title passed to timber merchant Dan Lloyd of Bwlchllan, who reputedly installed the vehicle in his works and retained it for some 46 years before selling to a Mr Bliss of Nanteos Mansion, Aberystwyth. He originally planned to restore the Buick, but had a change of heart when he realised just how much was entailed, whereupon it was consigned to a field until rescued by John Powell in 1998. Making good use of existing contacts in the United States, Powell purchased a variety of spares and a donor car. He also acquired a centre lathe on which to make other parts from scratch. After three or four years of hard graft, the Buick was finally up and running once again. The vendor (only the second keeper to drive the Buick on public roads) acquired it to use as a wedding car, but those plans fell through, hence its current availability. 'CY 4210' is finished in Maroon over Black and trimmed in Maroon leather. It is powered by a 3.9-litre straight-six OHV engine of 27.6hp, that drives through a three-speed manual gearbox. Braking is on the rear wheels alone. The fuel is nowadays fed by an electric pump, but the original Autovac comes with the car. The vendor currently regards the bodywork and paintwork as 'excellent', the engine, transmission and interior trim as 'very good' and the Black double duck hood in as-new condition.
Lot 17
PLEASE NOTE: This lot is a MG TD and not a MG TD MKII as incorrectly catalogued. - 1 of circa 1,600 home market examples - Recent brake overhaul and fresh tyres - Current ownership since 1973 and said to be 'good' mechanically Further Info: Although instantly recognisable as a member of the T-Series family of MGs, the TD broke new ground for the Abingdon marque. It was the first MG sports car to feature either independent front suspension or rack-and-pinion steering - innovations pioneered in the Y-type saloon. The newcomer also boasted a hypoid bevel rear axle, hidden scuttle reinforcement hoop and twin leading shoe front brakes. Powered by the company's proven 1250cc XPAG engine mated to a four-speed manual gearbox, the TD was said to be capable of some 82mph and around 26mpg. The example offered was first registered in May 1953 and acquired by the vendor 20 years later for the princely sum of £710. Featuring Black bodywork complemented by a Green leather interior, the MG rides on silver-painted disc wheels. It was recently treated to a brake overhaul and new tyres and is now regarded by the vendor as having `very good' XPAG engine and manual transmission, and `good' bodywork, paintwork and interior trim; though he notes the `driver's seat is worn'. `8505 PE' comes complete with workshop manual and 30 old MOTs dating back to 1976.
Lot 20
- Charming example finished in cream / black - Comprehensively restored in France and imported to UK in 2014 - 'Tourist Large' bodywork with bench seat Owing its name to the combination of the founders' names, Joseph Lamy and Emile Akar (although their first automobile was actually designed by one Edmond Moyet who worked for Citroen), Amilcar was the quintessential small French sportscar of the 1920s and, as with compatriot `Light Car' Salmson, the St Denis then Boulogne-sur-Seine based constructor's light cars were an instant success but diversified into the heavier touring car market during the 1930s. Having eventually passed into Hotchkiss ownership, however, in 1937 the Amilcar name was applied to the 'Compound', but the model was not pursued. This example of the Amilcar Type CC was imported from France in 2014 by the vendor, and given its age related BF 7125 registration by the DVLA. He advises that based on his experience of re-commissioning it, the car appears to have covered a relatively small mileage, the threads and splines and brake joints being very little worn. It was meticulously restored in Frejus to a very high standard for its previous French owner, who used it in local Amilcar events. The hood is reported as being new and comfortable. Although the car was registered as 1926 by the French authorities and on the accompanying Swansea V5, the Type CC was discontinued in 1925, and the exact date of manufacture seems likely to have been in 1923. From 1923 the electric starter became an available option although this example is not so provided, but starts readily on the handle fitted. The Bodywork is the "Tourist Large" variety, also a 1923 option, with a single bench seat and slightly wider wings. It is said to drive very amenably, the clutch disengaging well, and taking up smoothly and without slippage. Offered with aforementioned V5 document, this charming Amilcar, finished in Cream/Black with Black interior, is offered for sale due to the owner downsizing.
Lot 31
- Two-thirds scale single-seater with steel monocoque tub and GRP bodywork - Yamaha 125cc engine with 6-speed sequential gearbox - Extensively restored and re-painted Further Info: Reminiscent of the F1 cars of the early '70s, the two-thirds scale Lystonia junior single-seaters were a development of the Jomoro marque, and both makes were the work of Jim Morgan and other former employees of Alan Mann Racing. Of unique design, the Lystonia featured a steel monocoque tub and fibreglass bodywork. The suspension was independent by rose-jointed wishbones all round. Powerplants were to choice, and ranged from mild 6hp Briggs & Stratton engines to full-house 250cc Bulltaco units. A total of 14 Lystonias are thought to have been completed before funds ran dry. The example offered is chassis No.006, which is powered by a 125cc Yahama engine. This stunning-looking mini-racer was extensively restored by the vendor (a very successful speed hillclimber) for his daughter, and features Bright Orange bodywork teamed with a Black seat. He regards the fibreglass body panels, seat trim, engine and six-speed manual transmission as all being in 'excellent' condition, and the car is now set to provide hours of pleasure for a new child driver.
Lot 32
- Part of the Sharpe family collection for decades - 1 of just 6 or so known survivors and ex-Ramsgate Motor Museum - Highly original, 707cc twin-cylinder engine, 2-speed transmission Further Info: The so-called New Carden was built in small numbers by Arnott & Harrison of Hythe Road, London, and 'PD 3235' is thought to be one of only six or so survivors. This remarkable example is described by the vendor as being 'in correct and original condition complete with suitably faded Blue over Black paintwork and equally patinated Black upholstery'. For many years it formed part of the Sharpe collection and was on display at the Ramsgate Motor Museum before being dispersed via a Christie's auction in 2005. Power for the little four-seater comes from a twin-cylinder, air-cooled two-stroke engine of 707cc, that's underslung below the rear passenger seat and integral with the two-speed manual gearbox and axle. It is fed by a single updraught carburettor mounted between the cylinders. The engine is coaxed into life by a kickstart operated from the driver's seat and the gearchange effected by a lever to the driver's right. This fascinating and rare New Carden was last taxed and running in 2007.
Lot 44
- Original shell with 1971 Group 2 bodywork - FIA welded roll cage & six point harness - New GAZ adjustable suspension, 14" Gotti and Mahl wheels An enlarged version of the 2000 CS, the E9 coupe debuted in 1968. Despite BMW quitting touring car racing as a factory effort at the end of the 1969 season, privateers adopted and continued to develop the model. Making its first appearance at the 1969 Spa 24 Hours, the E9 CS showed its potential when an Alpina version went on to finish a creditable 9th overall. Alpina would go on to achieve a number of successes the following year, contesting the European Touring Car Championship together with selected rounds of the German Championship, whilst facing stiff opposition from the likes of Alfa Romeo and Ford. In 1971, Schnitzer joined the fray, but Ford's domination of the category that year resulted in only one win for the team at Zandvoort. Finished in Alpina Castrol colours, this left hand drive coupe features an original shell with 1971 Group 2 bodywork. Displacing 3000 cc driving through a four-speed gearbox, its specification includes an FIA six point welded in roll cage, Corbeau Sprint race seat and six point harness. New GAZ adjustable suspension has recently been fitted and the car rides on rare 14" Gotti wheels to the rear with 14" Rials to the front. Resident in Germany for most of its life, where it was used as a hillclimb / circuit racer in the 1970s, it was imported to the UK in 2013 and comes with a copy of the old German registration document and a Swansea V5C. Described as having "good" paintwork, bodywork, engine and gearbox, VDA 107H, currently on SORN, offers a great deal of potential and should be eligible for a number of historic racing series subject to complying with existing regulations.
Lot 48
- Awarded 3rd place at the 1000-strong 2014 Tatton Park Show - Restored in 2013-2014 with help from TR Bitz - Said to be in 'excellent overall' condition Further Info: Interest in 'microcars' has been on the rise for some time, of which many view the tandem seat Messerschmitts as the cream of the crop. This delightful KR200 Cabriolet hails from 1961 and was apparently restored between 2013 and 2014, with the assistance of TR Bitz of Aerodrome Garage, Cheshire. The vendor now views the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission as all being in 'excellent' order and, to prove the point, 'TJY 356' last year won 'Third In Show' in a 1000-strong concours event at Tatton Park, Cheshire. The Messerschmitt's streamlined aircraft-style body is finished in Red and trimmed in Black vinyl. It is powered by the standard specification 191cc Fichtel & Sachs single-cylinder two-stroke engine which, thanks to the KR200's light weight and effective aerodynamics, is sufficient to propel the little two-seater to c.60mph - a speed it can attain backwards as well as forwards, as the reversible ignition allows the four-speed transmission to operate in both directions!
Lot 56
- 1 of only 6 examples built by the factory - Displayed at Earls Court Motor Show in 1956 - Painstakingly restored by Alan and Lloyd Allard in 2013 to exacting standards - Fitted with a 2553cc Ford Zodiac 6-cylinder engine, triple SU's and 4-speed Ford gearbox "Only a few men have designed, built and then put into production, cars bearing their own name. Even fewer, if any, have gone on to build their own racing cars and compete in them, with such great achievements in such a wide range of motor sport competitions. From mud-plugging trials, to hill climb champion, Monte Carlo winner and Le Mans 24 hours third overall, to building and driving the first dragster outside the USA. Sydney Allard was that rare and outstanding personality..." We are proud to offer for sale this 1956 Allard Palm Beach Mk.2 which has been the subject of a painstaking restoration by Alan & Lloyd Allard, son and grandson of the legendary Sydney Allard (UK Hill Climb Champion in 1949 with his Steyr Allard). A rare car, it is one of only six built by the Allard Motor Company between 1956 and 1958 and was displayed on the Allard stand at the 1956 Earls Court Motor Show. It features the classic Allard suspension set up, with divided axle at the front and live Salisbury at the rear, Panhard rod and twin trailing arms, telescopic shock absorbers and coil springs all round. Power is supplied by an uprated six-cylinder in-line 2553cc Ford unit, with similar specification to that fitted to the 'Ruddspeed' AC Ace. This is coupled to a Ford four-speed gearbox. All running on an Allard twin tube chassis number 72/7000Z, a development of the Mk.1 Palm Beach and Allard JR sports racing car. The very pretty aluminium two seat body, the best looking Allard ever made in many peoples' opinion, has been carefully restored and painted in bright 'Carmine' red and trimmed in matching red and tan leather - resulting in a very pleasing interior. After its appearance at the 1956 Motor Show, the car became the Allard demonstrator. It subsequently passed to Brian Howard, a manager of the Allard Motor Company, then to Walter Hemsworth in 1968 and then onto Peter Hemsworth in whose ownership it was put into storage around 1976. In 2012 Alan & Lloyd Allard formed the Allard Sports Car Company, with the view to revival of Allard as a sports car manufacture once again after a gap of some 56 years. With the revival in mind and the idea of producing a continuation model, a Palm Beach Mk.3, Alan Allard purchased the Mk.2 from Peter Hemsworth in 2012. Lloyd and Alan have since carried out a full restoration, as no drawings or patters were in existence, they took the opportunity to make their own drawings and patterns. From this work, the build of a new Mk.3 Allard Palm Beach is well underway. This car was on display at the NEC Classic Car Show in 2014 and Octane Magazine's John Simister wrote an excellent seven page article, including a road test in the January 2015 issue. Offered with Swansea V5 document, this important Allard, restored by Sydney Allard's son and grandson with help from some of the original factory engineers, represents a rare opportunity for the serious collector to acquire a unique piece of Allard history. Specifications Body: All aluminium with steel and aluminium inner panels. Painted dark red (similar to the original colour). Two doors and two seats Trim: Cream and red leather, with black carpeting edged in red leather Steering: Right hand drive with Marles high ratio steering box Engine: Fully rebuilt Ford Zodiac six cylinder in line. Capacity 2553 cc. Carburation by triple SU with six branch fabricated exhaust Fuel System: Twin tank arrangement with tanks mounted each side with the rear wing Transmission: Ford four speed manual Chassis Frame: Twin tube side members, braced with flitch plates and with both tubular and box cross members Suspension: Telescopic shock absorbers with coil springs all round with twin trailing arms and panhard rod at the rear and forward mounted radius rods at the front. Divided front axle, Salisbury solid axle at the rear Brakes: Lockhead with 12" x 2 1/4" drums front and rear Wheels/Tyres: Wire type, mounted on splined hub with centre lock spinner
Lot 61
- One of very few known survivors from 89 such cars built - Versatile Doctor's Coupe coachwork complete with dickey seat - Said to 'start instantly' and be 'a pleasure to drive at B-road speeds' Further Info: This charming two-door Humber complete with commodious dickey seat is finished in Bright Blue over Black. The main compartment is upholstered in Beige-coloured buttoned Bedford cord, while that of the dickey seat is sensibly trimmed in Black Rexine. The hood is of Japanned Black leather and the smart little Coupe rides on Black-painted artillery wheels. According to the vendor, just 89 Humbers were built to this particular configuration, of which only one or two are thought to remain, making it an extremely rare motorcar. `BE 9292' has clearly had love and attention lavished upon it, and the vendor informs us that its 1670cc four-cylinder engine `starts instantly' and the Humber is `a pleasure to drive at B-road speeds', the steering is `light and delicate', and the manual gearchange is `tactile and easy to master'. Of charming period appearance, the Coupe comes complete with spare wheel and running-board mounted fuel can.
Lot 68
- Subject of a restoration over the past two years - Finished in Polaris Silver with Black Scheel sports interior - RHD car fitted with Batmobile body kit and steel boot The BMW 3.0 CSL - Coupe Sport Lightweight - was a special version of the six-cylinder BMW E9 pillarless coupe produced in lighter gauge steel with aluminium doors/bonnet/boot lid and chrome arch extensions to accommodate wider alloy wheels. Introduced in May 1972, 1000 were built to homologate the BMW Coupe for the Group 2 European Touring Car Championship where the E9 CS Coupes had suffered with a weight handicap against the dominant Ford Capris. BMW UK took 500 in RHD with most of standard CS coupe luxury equipment refitted. Mechanically these cars were almost identical to the fuel-injected CSi (which meant 200bhp and 140mph plus) but to take it into the over 3-litre class the engines were bored out slightly to 3003cc. Equipped with all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear), disc brakes and responsive steering, it was wonderfully balanced. Very expensive when new (several hundred pounds more than a 911 RS 2.7), CSLs are now the most highly coveted BMWs of the nineteen seventies with a fabulous competition record. First registered in April 1973, this right hand drive CSL has been the subject of a two year restoration between 2013 and 2015 following a period of storage from 2008. Works undertaken include: bead blasting of the body with any repairs being carried out using BMW panels, rustproofing of the body using Dinitrol, a comprehensive engine overhaul by Corry Engineering, retrimming of the interior using new Scheel seat materials and new carpets, overhaul of the braking system including brake boosters, calipers and master cylinder, the fitment of new brake and fuel lines, all new Bilstein suspension including bushes and powdercoating, refurbishment of the original 14 x 7 wheels, retrimming of the steering wheel in hand-stitched leather and refurbishment of the interior wood trim. Painted in Polaris Silver complimented by a Black interior with Scheel seats, the car is further enhanced by the fitment of a 'Batmobile' aero package including front spoiler, lightweight rear bumper, rear window hoop and rear spoiler mounted to the steel boot lid (a correct modification due to the spoiler's weight being found to distort the aluminium boot lids). Painstaking attention to detail has resulted in a truly evocative BMW sporting coupe of the 1970s that is certain to turn heads wherever it goes. Currently displaying some 27,440 miles on its odometer, MCY 35L is accompanied by a Swansea V5 document, dating certificate letter from BMW, a list of owners from new together with invoices and receipts for the restoration work. This wonderful looking and highly collectable BMW is expected to possess a fresh MoT by the time of sale.
