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

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.

1897 Daimler 4hp Twin-Cylinder Tonneau Coachwork by Arthur Mulliner Registration no. W 95 (see text) Engine no. 1058•The second car manufactured by the Daimler Motor Company•The oldest known Daimler engine•Present family ownership for the last 70 years•Many-time London-Brighton participantFootnotes:'There can scarcely be a better way of appreciating the pleasures and perils of the pioneering days of motoring in Britain than by sampling an early Coventry Daimler, and I'm about to go for a ride in the earliest one there is.' – Zack Stiling, The Automobile, July 2022.The historic automobile offered here is the second car manufactured by the Daimler Motor Company Ltd in their Coventry Mills factory in June 1897 or earlier. It is powered by a 1,527cc vertical twin-cylinder engine rated a 4 horsepower, which drives via a four-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Engine number '1058' is the oldest known, and 'THE KIRKSTALL FORGE Co 1897' is stamped on the rear axle. This wonderful car was first owned by Arthur Mulliner, the famous Northampton coachbuilder, who nicknamed his car 'The Owl'. On 27th November 1897, this Daimler was demonstrated to The Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) at Buckingham Palace, and two days later drove in the London to Brighton Commemoration Run from Northumberland Avenue to Richmond Park in London, organised by the Motor Car Club. A little over a week later, on 8th December 1897, Arthur Mulliner drove this Daimler with Henry Mulliner, his cousin, as passenger on the inaugural run of The Automobile Club of Great Britain and Ireland in London's Pall Mall. According to The Automobile: 'Another likely claim to fame is that this is the first car used for a manufacturer-organised road test, as well as one of the first in Britain to be driven a meaningful distance by women. Two journalists from The Gentlewoman were driven 75 miles in a Daimler by Mulliner from Northampton to their London offices in Arundel Street... Feeling affronted by Mulliner's comment that he called the car 'she' because it 'took a man to manage her', the two ladies determined to prove their worth as motorists and took over for a while from the suitable chastened colonel.' The Daimler's history only started to come to light following its acquisition by the Veteran Car Club in the 1940s (see below). Circa 1900 the car returned to the Daimler factory for updating: the tiller steering being changed to wheel; the front suspension to dumb irons and single elliptical springs; and the cylinder head revised, adding electrical trembler coil ignition to the existing 'hot tube'. It is possible that a rear radiator was added. It is also very likely that Mulliner's coachbuilding company changed the original body to a new Tonneau design (as invented by Arthur Mulliner). Evidence suggests that Arthur Mulliner (or his company) kept 'The Owl' until his death in 1946. However, when participating in the first London-Brighton 'Old Crocks Run' in 1927, it was entered by one S E Statham of Baker Street, and is well documented as having participated in the '28, '29, and '34 events. Henlys Ltd had taken over Mulliner's coachbuilding business in 1940, and later that decade the Daimler was purchased from them for the VCC by Stanley Sears. Sears had accumulated a collection of neglected early automobiles during the war to save them from the scrap merchants, and following the end of hostilities was engaged in finding homes for them with like-minded enthusiasts.Denis Flather, of the eponymous motoring dynasty, bought the car in 1952 from Sears' auction to become only its second private owner. A total restoration followed, and in November Denis successfully completed his first Brighton Run. Circa 1953/1954 tiller steering returned and in 2015 the hot tube ignition was reinstated (for safety reasons now fired by propane instead of petrol). Rear wheel drum brakes have been added also, made to Daimler's design of circa 1899. Originally registered 'YU 1572', the car carried the (presumed bogus) numberplate 'AD 1896' when purchased. The current registration, 'W 95', started life on Denis' father's 1903 Werner motorcycle. Its long life has seen the Daimler feature in various publications over the years, commencing in 1954 when a cutaway drawing of it appeared in The Eagle. It also appeared in Sixty Miles of Pencil, a collection of Brighton Run sketches by Messrs Reynolds and Clark published in 1971. In 1973 'W 95' made the front cover of Motor Sport's February edition, being flagged off by Prime Minister Edward Heath at the start of the 'Drive into Europe' rally to Brussels following the UK's admission to what was then the Common Market. The Daimler is now a veteran of more than 50 London-Brighton Runs. It has also been rallied extensively, completing the Hull-Scarborough event several times and on one occasion being driven around the Swiss lakes. Cruising speed is around 15-20mph and the car will cover around 20 miles per gallon (the tank holds five gallons). In 1970 Denis Flather passed the Daimler over to his son Michael, who extensively rallied and maintained the car in good running order for the next 52 years, taking the family ownership to 70 years in total. On the 1974 London-Brighton, Michael turned around in Brighton and drove back to Hyde Park, covering 120 miles in the day! On the 1980 FIFA Rally (five days and 350 miles around the South of England) the crew never touched a spanner. What an enticing prospect for the fortunate next owner!Accompanying the Daimler (boxed) are various spare parts; some useful tools and a starting handle plus odd parts in the drawer under the driver's seat; a roll of original brown leather; a headlight and bracket; and a drip tray. There is also a framed A4 picture outlining a brief history of the Daimler plus a large schematic Daimler Company drawing of the layout of a pre-1900 Daimler. A 2/3-full propane cylinder for firing the 'hot tube' ignition is under the passenger seat. A 'Guide to Preparing, Starting and Driving' is provided to ensure this Daimler continues to be driven for many years to come. The car also comes with a most comprehensive history file containing press cuttings and photographs of it in action and undergoing restoration at various times over the years (inspection recommended). Please note the seller reserves the right to retain the registration 'W95' should the Daimler be exported from the UK. According to The Automobile: 'Another likely claim to fame is that this is the first car used for a manufacturer-organised road test, as well as one of the first in Britain to be driven a meaningful distance by women.

1903 Cadillac Two-seater Runabout Registration no. 03 WX 1 (Republic of Ireland) Engine no. 626•Purchased from the Henry Ford Museum in 1989•Engine professionally rebuilt circa 2009•Offered from a prominent private collection in Ireland•VCC DatedFootnotes:Founded by Henry Leland and Robert Faulconer, the Cadillac Automobile Company, of Detroit, Michigan completed its first car in October 1902, the firm's superior manufacturing technology - precision gear cutting was Leland and Faulconer's first speciality - soon establishing it as the foremost builder of quality cars in the USA. In 1901, Olds Motor Works contracted for the supply of Leland-built engines and, when unforeseen circumstances frustrated the plan, Leland and Faulconer formed their own company using funds supplied by two of Henry Ford's ex-backers. The company took its name from the great French 17th century explorer who had founded Detroit in 1701. The first Cadillac automobile was completed and test driven in October 1902, and the following January made a triumphal debut at the New York Automobile Show where sales manager William E Metzger took orders for no fewer than 2,286 cars, famously declaring mid-week that the Cadillac was 'sold out'. An exemplary performer by the standards of the day, the Cadillac's 98ci (1.6-litre) 10hp single-cylinder engine - known as 'Little Hercules' - was mounted horizontally on the left beneath the front seat and drove via a conventional two-speeds-plus-reverse planetary transmission, with centre chain drive to the rear axle. Keenly priced at only $750, the Cadillac was available with either two- or four-seat coachwork and had a maximum speed of around 30-35mph. F S Bennett's Anglo-American Motor Company promoted the Cadillac in the UK, where outstanding performances on Sunrising Hill and in the 1,000 Miles Trial of 1903 ensured that there were customers queuing to place orders. That first 1903 curved-dash Cadillac was re-designated as the Model A after the Model B's introduction for 1904, the 'B' being a more expensive version with box-shaped 'bonnet', pressed-steel frame, 'I'-beam front axle and single transverse front spring. At first Leland & Faulconer supplied only engines, transmissions and steering mechanisms for the Cadillac before taking responsibility for its entire construction in 1905.This early Cadillac was purchased for the current owners' private collection from the Henry Ford Museum circa 1989. The engine was rebuilt by Cox & Turner Engineering circa 2009 (see invoices on file) and the car is offered in running order. Additional documentation consists of a State of Michigan Certificate of Title and a VCC dating certificate (no. 2017, issued in 1994).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.

1903 Humber Olympia Tandem Forecar Registration no. BJ 2513 Chassis no. 100642 Engine no. B558•One of the earliest surviving Humbers•Restored in 2000•London to Brighton eligible•Also eligible for the Pioneer Run and Banbury RunFootnotes:With a background in bicycle manufacture, Humber entered motor vehicle production as early as 1896, displaying motorcycles at The International Horseless Carriage Exhibition that year, these machines being powered by Pennington 2hp engines. Humber later built Léon Bollée engines under licence, and in 1902 acquired the rights to build Phelon & Moore engines. The forecar design enjoyed a long vogue among various manufacturers, lasting until around 1907. The production of Humber vehicles was carried on at both Beeston, Nottingham, and at Coventry, there being some considerable rivalry between the two factories, the Beeston works being reserved generally for production of the more expensive models.'The 'Humber Olympia' motor tandem is an ideal vehicle for two riders. All control is in the hands of the rear rider while the passenger is in the front, out of reach of dust and the exhaust gases, and conversation is easy. The front seat is most comfortably hung on springs and is excellently upholstered, luxurious to even the most delicate. The steering is unaffected by the absence or the presence of a passenger, and is easier than that of an ordinary tricycle.' Thus did Humber describe their 1903 offering, which came with a price tag of £75, or £21 11s 3d deposit and twelve monthly payments of £5 8s 0d. The single-cylinder air-cooled engine was built under Phelon & Moore licence. Purchased from Robert Thomas (Partsmade), this tandem forecar is one of the earliest surviving Humbers. The vehicle's earliest known owner is one A Foley, a resident of Norwich, to whom it belonged in the 1950s, and there is a photograph on file of the Humber being ridden circa 1910 showing the registration 'BJ 2513'. Also in the history file are photographs showing various stages of its restoration (carried out in 2000); sundry bills for work carried out; miscellaneous papers; Pioneer and VCC certificates; and a V5C document. Noteworthy features include a 'Wheel of Life' chain and a Longuemare carburettor. While with the current owner the Humber has participated in two Pioneer Runs and various local rallies. Described by the vendor as in very good condition throughout, this Beeston-built Humber (as identified by the engine number's 'B' prefix) is eligible not only for the prestigious London to Brighton Veteran Car Run but also for the equally prestigious Sunbeam MCC's Pioneer Run from Epsom to Brighton, and the VMCC's Banbury Run.

1904 Napier 15hp Four-Cylinder Rear-Entrance Tonneau Registration no. MC 143 Chassis no. 717 Engine no. 618•Offered from more than 66 years of family ownership•England's premier brand of its day•Advanced technical specification with four cylinders and four speeds Veteran Car Club Dated•Eligible for the London to Brighton RunFootnotes:In 2022, The London to Brighton Veteran Car Run will honour the magnificent achievement of S.F. Edge winning the Gordon Bennett Cup, from Paris to Innsbruck in Austria 120 years ago in a Napier car. It was a moment that drew great attention to British manufacturing of motorcars and British motorsport, but most of all it cemented Napier's place in the history of the automobile. This majestic Brighton Runner was built by that most coveted name of early British construction, being one of less than a dozen 1904 and earlier survivors of the marque. The remarkable 1902 win came just seven years after Montague Stanley Napier had taken charge of the Lambeth-based family engineering business in 1895 upon the death of his father. The youthful twenty five year old – once described as 'combining the philosophy and the modesty of the rustic cobbler with the best attributes of the unspeakable Scot' was a brilliant engineer keen to move the family business from its traditional fields of printing machinery manufacture into the new-fangled world of the horseless carriage. Fascinated by speed, he had earned repute as a racing cyclist of no mean ability and, mixing in those circles at the Bath Road Cycle Club, he came in contact with one Selwyn Francis Edge, London manager of The Dunlop Tyre Company. Napier's engineering flair and Edge's commercialism, combined with an at times uneasy flair for self-publicity, made for a powerful partnership that was soon to establish the name Napier at the forefront of the British motor industry as well as a force to be reckoned with in international motor racing.In 1900 Napier entered their customer Edward Kennard's 8hp car in The Thousand Miles Trial around Britain, (a blatant piece of propaganda for the motor car), and with Edge at the wheel achieved not only first in class but second overall in the whole Trial against a formidable line up of 84 cars. Appreciating the value of such publicity Edge and Napier set their sights on the great Continental motor races, in particular focusing on winning The Gordon Bennett Trophy – the ambition achieved in 1902 in a spectacularly uneventful drive from Paris to Innsbruck which left the French team in a state of disarray by the roadside.Alongside the epic drives and races Napier concentrated on building cars of high quality at the Lambeth works which they soon outgrew. A move to larger premises at Acton followed in 1902 and by 1906 1,000 men were employed at the Acton factory. Napier was the first to pioneer a reliable six-cylinder car, ahead even of Rolls and Royce and in doing so became the supreme luxury car of its day, but its light would shine more briefly in this form of engineering as the company focused on aero engines. The fact that this car survives at all is thanks to the sleuthing of Captain Ivan Forshaw just after the war. Determined to find a good quality veteran or Edwardian car, he was most interested in the heritage of the Napier company and set about it, as one did in those days, by putting 'feelers' out with a few calls here and there to see if such a car could be found. One did materialise at Elford's Engineering in Southbourne, but when Elford Senior proved impossible to deal with and the price a prohibitive £50, the search moved on. In 1956, a chance encounter at the Post Office in Parkstone with a pair of scrap dealing brothers, the Kents, would prove to be the solution. Diver Kent asked Forshaw if a small chain driven lorry might suffice for what he was looking for, as they'd seen one recently somewhere in Upton in a barn near the road. Off went Capt. Forshaw to peak through barn doors until he found success. As it turned out, the barn was partially collapsed and the owner a Mr. Palmer was very deaf. A form of dialogue was struck up and it emerged that the car was indeed a Napier, eureka! However, it could not be for sale, since removal of the car would mean that the barn would no longer have any support and it would fall down. Negotiations continued whenever Forshaw would pass Palmer's door, and eventually he found that he could have the barn shored up for £1.10s 0d, enabling the Napier to be purchased and removed. Mr. Palmer would volunteer that the Napier was in fact a car that as for many higher performance vehicles had been repurposed as a flatbed lorry, most likely during the war years. It still wore a tax disc from 1923, which confirmed the last time it had been on the road, wearing the registration 'MC143', this would have been its second registration as that series was only offered by Middlesex County Council from 1917-1920, Palmer said that it had been driven down from London to Dorset in about 1923. Immediately upon securing the car, Forshaw corresponded with D. Napier & Son Ltd., they quantified the car as a D45 model which had been built and delivered in 1904. The D45 model was marketed in England as the 15hp, the four-cylinder engine, cast in pairs, displacing 2,525cc and reputedly developing 21hp. This engine drove through a four-speed gearbox with final drive by side chains. In all it is understood that 182 examples were delivered between 1902 and 1904, the first ones with a serpentine radiator and then as fashion dictated a matrix radiator with shroud, as on this car. Ivan Forshaw found that the Napier was in very tired order and the ensuing years would be a labour of love to return it to the road. The mechanical aspect was one set of problems, but another was its lack of bodywork beyond a rudimentary seat. Originally, it was Forshaw's intention to build a new body, but another chance connection through the Veteran Car Club provided a clue to the whereabouts of a period touring body that had been found in the loft of a coachhouse in Snowdonia. Quite possibly the alternative to a winter or formal body, the coachwork comprised a rear entrance tonneau which must have been stored and never returned to its car. The coachhouse itself was due to be demolished, so this was also a remarkable find and it was believed had been fitted to a Daimler of this same era. A little after the acquisition, Mr. Palmer said that he had the car's side lamps which were still in London and sure enough those were retrieved by him and given to Captain Forshaw.As has always been the spirit in our hobby, the knowledge of an enthusiast wanting to restore his car provided a variety of leads, sources and helpers to his cause, including luminaries such as Derek Grossmark, the noted Napier historian. Forshaw whiled away many hours, days, months and years before eventually in 1982 the task was complete.Resplendent in bright red paintwork, the magnificent Napier returned to use and made a debut London to Brighton Run in 1982, and it was entered and completed almost every year from then until 1995. An application to the Veteran Car Club in this period confirmed its date of 1904, carrying certificate number 1658. Again, a period of inactivity has elapsed since the car was used with regularity, but it remains in a cleanly presented order, and as recently as 2015 the wheels were rebuilt by Douglas Andrews the respected wheelwright. It is the felt that it should respond well to recommissioning, so much work having been carried out in its original restoration. Surviving Veteran Napiers are incredibly scarce, a mere eight being listed with the VCC and a further two American built examples. Offered today from more than 66 years of private ownership, the Captain Forshaw Napier represents a generat... For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1904/05 Ford Model C 10hp Twin-Cylinder Side-Entrance Tonneau Registration no. 04WX01 (Republic of Ireland) Engine no. 1815•One of the rarest of early Fords•Twin-cylinder engine•Purchased from the USA in 1990•Formerly part of the Harrah Collection•Offered from a prominent private collection•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. 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 formerly in the Harrah collection where it was restored. The car was purchased for the vendors' prominent private collection in 1990, having previously belonged to one E Long of Columbus Ohio, and has participated in the London-Brighton Run while in the current ownership (see images on file). This car was dated as 1905 by the Veteran Car Club in 1995. More recently the vendor has taken advice from the those within the early Ford world, that knowledge of the practices of Ford during 1904 has advanced a good deal since 1995 and that based on this there is a good chance the car would now be dated as 1904. As such he has re-applied with the VCC to have the car re-dated. 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.

1907 Northern Four-Seat Side-Entrance Tonneau Registration no. ZV 92217 (Republic of Ireland) Chassis no. 2754•Short-lived American make•Twin-cylinder engine•Formerly part of the Nethercutt Collection in Los Angeles, USA•Purchased in 1991•Offered from a prominent private collection•Running orderFootnotes:A short-lived and relatively obscure American make, Northern was founded in Detroit, Michigan in 1902 by two former Olds Motor Works employees: Charles B King and Jonathan D Maxwell. Maxwell designed the Northern's 5hp single-cylinder engine, which powered a car - marketed as the 'Silent Northern' - that perhaps not surprisingly looked a lot like Oldsmobile's Runabout. Northern sold some 300 cars in 1903 and added a twin-cylinder model to the range for 1904, which was followed by a four in 1906. Entrepreneur Benjamin Briscoe had tempted Maxwell away to build his eponymous automobile in 1904, leaving King to shoulder the engineering burden on his own. Northern was noted for its technological innovations, early cars being built with left-hand steering and shaft drive. Air operated brakes and clutch featured on the 1906 four, while in 1908 all controls were mounted on the twin-cylinder Model C limousine's steering column. Changing its name to Northern Motor Car Company in 1906, the firm opened a second factory in Huron to build the twin-cylinder models. The single-cylinder model continued to feature in the range alongside twins of progressively increasing power output and various fours until 1908. In 1908 Northern merged with the Wayne Automobile Company and shortly thereafter both companies' assets were acquired by newly formed E-M-F, thus bringing the Northern brand to an end. In 1907 when this twin-cylinder Northern was built, there were four models in the 20hp Model C twins' line-up built on three different wheelbase lengths with prices ranging from $1,600 (two-seat runabout) to $3,000 (limousine). Formerly part of the Nethercutt Collection in Los Angeles, USA, the car was purchased for the vendors' prominent private collection in 1991 and is offered in running order.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.
