1931 Morris Cowley Doctor’s CoupeReg. no. WJ 484Chassis no. t.b.a.Engine no. t.b.a.Morris updated the iconic ‘Bullnose’ in 1926, doing away with the famous rounded radiator in favour of a much more efficient flat design. This car was duly dubbed the ‘Flatnose’ and came in both larger Oxford and smaller Cowley forms. As before, the Cowley had a 1548cc four-cylinder side-valve engine, developed from an earlier Hotchkiss design. The changes were more than just cosmetic; the Cowley now had a new chassis, with semi-elliptic leaf springs all round and friction-type shock absorbers. Remaining in production until 1931, by which point over 200,000 had been sold, the flatnose Cowley was one of the best-selling cars of the late-vintage period in the UK, and today represents one of the easiest pre-war cars to own. There is plenty of club support, and parts are easy to come by.This charmingly honest Cowley doctor’s coupe is from the last year of production. With its enclosed front compartment – with partially retractable roof – it offers plenty of weather protection for the driver and front seat passenger; for the hardier souls, there is a dickey seat at the rear, offering true open-air motoring – a ride in a dickey seat is not quickly forgotten! This car was said to be running and driving well when last in use by the late owner; following several years of slumber, some recommissioning would be advisable before the car returns to the road. It comes with a V5C.
1931 Austin 12 HarrowReg. no. KJ 2227Chassis no. 68864 (as per plate on car) V5C states 6TT2492Engine no. 69375L (according to the logbook)Introduced in 1921 as a scaled-down version of Austin’s large 20, the ‘Heavy’ 12 soon acquired an enviable reputation for strength and reliability, and this reputation, coupled to periodic updates, kept the model in production right up to 1939. Many different body styles were offered over the 18 years, but the most obvious mechanical change – the increase in engine capacity from 1660 to 1861cc – took place in 1926. This larger engine only produced 27bhp, but the long-stroke engines that the tax regulations of the time encouraged produced good low-speed torque. A four-speed crash gearbox was standard.This 1931 Heavy 12 is the ‘Harrow’ 2-seater with dickey seat. Supplied new by Rootes of Maidstone to a Miss Halifax-Ward – a relation or friend of Herbert Austin – it was acquired from an unknown second owner in 1966 by Robert Thornton, who kept it until 1973, in which year it was featured in a Michael Sedgwick article for Veteran and Vintage Magazine, a copy of which is with the car. In 2006 it was exported to Ireland and registered there, returning to the UK and being re-registered with the original number plate in 2014. It was purchased by the current owner in May 2015, and since then has been used for many trips to France. The car benefits from a coil conversion, using the original magneto drive, plus a new wiper motor, a new radiator, and overhauled and tested dynamo, and a lot of other general maintenance, particularly work done to the brakes and front hubs. Currently it requires the brakes to be readjusted and balanced, and the included water pump seal fitted. With good paintwork and interior, and very good mechanical and electrical components, this rare example of a more sporting Heavy 12/4 comes with a current V5C.
1931 Riley 9 Mk. IV Two-Seater and Dickey – two family owners from new! To be sold with Registration Number 9445 MW – on retention.Reg. no. MW 9445Chassis no. 6013593Engine no. 31340Introduced in 1926, Riley’s twin-cam Nine offered excellent performance for a car in its class. Displacing just 1.1 litres, the excellent Percy Riley-designed engine had a high-revving nature that placed it in sharp contrast to many British engines of the time. For 1929 the Nine was given a thorough revision, including an effective new cable braking system which was adjustable from the driver’s seat. In true Riley fashion, there was a vast array of bodies available and this configuration of a front compartment plus a dickey seat, is less common. MW 9445 was purchased by Fred Eley of Calne from a solicitor in Frome in 1968 for the princely sum of £50. The solicitor had bought the Riley new and kept the car for 39 years, then reluctantly selling the car to Fred, who proceeded to carry out restoration where required. The car was then used extensively winning many awards, and even toured to the south of France in 1971. In 1969 Fred purchased a council dustcart with the inverse number plate of 9445 MW, which he then kept on his modern car. This registration number will be offered with the Riley. In 1997, when Fred died, the Riley was placed on loan to the Atwell Wilson Motor Museum in Calne, where it resided until very recently. Having not been started since 2003, the car will require full recommissioning prior to use. It is offered with a file of history that includes newspaper cuttings, some award certificates and a V5, plus the aforementioned retention certificate.
1950 Bentley Mk.VI SaloonReg. no. GOW 925Chassis no. B153GTEngine no. B76GFounded in 1919 by W O Bentley, the firm Bentley Motors itself needs little introduction to the old car world. From their Le Mans winning cars through to the 8-litre introduced in 1931, they gained a reputation of fast, reliable cars. The Great Depression of 1929 meant that demand for luxury cars throttled back and when in 1931 two mortgage repayments became due neither the firm or their backers were able to make the repayments, so Bentley Motors went into liquidation. Napier offered to buy Bentley with the purchase to be final in November 1931. Instead, British Central Equitable Trust made a winning sealed bid of £125,000. British Central Equitable Trust later proved to be a front for Rolls-Royce Ltd. Not even Bentley himself knew the identity of the purchaser until the deal was completed.The Mk.VI was introduced in 1946 and continued until 1952 and was the first post war luxury car from Bentley. It was the first car from Rolls-Royce with all steel coachwork and the first complete car assembled and finished at their factory. The Mk.VI was initially powered by a 4 1/4 litre straight 6 engine (4257 cc). Bentley refused to disclose a HP value for the car but a report by the Autocar magazine produced in 1950 reported that top gear provided flexibility down to 6 mph.The car offered for sale comes from a deceased estate. Apart from a V5c and an original Mk.VI handbook and operating instructions, not original to the car, all other paperwork has been mislaid although that is being searched for and will be forwarded to any purchaser if it should come to light. We are informed that the car did have a partial respray in recent years and was used extensively to tour the UK. Finished in a light grey with brown interior and sunroof for the days when it's prudent to open it, the car presents a majestic appearance.Observations on the car showed that the engine started ready and settled down to a smooth tick-over. The car pulls well in all gears and has this month been driven for approximately 10 miles with no problems. The bodywork needs some further improvement and repairs, in particular the bottom of the doors. The front wings and underneath appear solid. The rear wheel spat, and centre pillar light (not shown in the photos) are with the car.The brown leather interior is original and in serviceable condition. Inset into the back of the front seat are two pull-out picnic tables; all instruments are present, and the current milometer reading is 78973.
