1926 Morris ‘Super Sports Style’ SpecialReg. no. CH 5766Chassis no. t.b.a.Engine no. t.b.a.Morris’ famous ‘bullnose’ radiator first adorned its cars in 1913, and over the next 13 years these distinctive cars were to become the best-selling cars in the country, establishing Morris at the forefront of British car manufacturing. By the mid-20s, there were two models – the larger, more powerful Oxford and the smaller Cowley. In 1924, the Oxford became the basis of the first MG model, as Cecil Kimber started modifying the vehicles to a more sporting specification at his Morris Garages premises in Oxford. The very first MGs were two-seaters with bodies supplied by Charles Raworth & Sons of Oxford; soon afterwards, they were followed by a two-door salonette and the attractive sporting 4-seater – after which this car’s coachwork is modelled.The modern history of this car begins in 1980, when it was found under a hedge on a smallholding near Birmingham. The engineless, bodiless remains consisted of a Cowley that had been converted to a tractor long ago. It was rescued by noted Morris expert Bev Hicks, who spent the next 11 years restoring it to the road, this time in the form of a replica of an MG Super-Sports. The engine is now the 1802cc unit from an Oxford, as was fitted to the MGs, giving a useful upgrade in power over the Cowley. The car was purchased by the late owner in 2006; finding the brakes and steering challenging, he spent much time improving these, and succeeded in making the car a capable and reliable performer. Indeed, it then saw much use, with a trip to the Loire with 25 other Bullnoses in 2008 seeing 900 trouble-free miles covered. In 2012 the car travelled to Belgium, Holland and Germany. In the file there are numerous photographs covering the restoration of the car, showing just how much work was involved in creating it. There are also numerous old MOT certificates and bills for various jobs carried out, most recently in 2013 when, amongst other jobs, the gearbox was dismantled, inspected and rebuilt. Unused for several years since the death of the owner, the car now requires recommissioning, following which it should prove to be the capable vintage car it was before – and for a fraction of the cost of an original MG Super-Sports. There is a V5C and a file of various correspondence and photographs.

1935 Austin 7 NippyReg. no. OXS 542Chassis no. 230051Engine no. 239846By 1935, Austin’s Seven was 12 years old, but constant updating and a variety of new models had kept the car competitive, and it continued to be one of the staples of the British car market. By this point, a wide variety of Sevens were available, ranging from the new-for-1934 Ruby saloon and Pearl cabriolet to sports versions like the Nippy. Benefitting from the four-speed gearbox introduced in 1932, now with synchromesh in second, third and top, the Nippy’s engine – of 747cc, as always with Sevens – was in a higher state of tune than the standard cars, making this low-slung two-seater a proper little sports car. A top speed of 65 mph was claimed – although one of the many delights of cars such as these are that as one sits so low, the feeling of speed is greatly amplified, meaning one can have a lot of thrills at low speed – perfect for England’s country lanes.This 1935 Nippy has been fully restored over the course of five years since 2016. Work has included a fully rebuilt engine and gearbox, plus a re-cored honeycomb radiator. A new petrol tank has been fitted, as has a new wiring loom. Now in good condition in every department, this fine 1930s sports Seven comes with a current V5C.

1937 Brough Superior 6-cylinder 3.5 litre Drophead Coupe – The subject of a recent full restorationReg. no. GB 1935Chassis no. 722312Engine no. t.b.a.Motoring was in George Brough’s family from early in his childhood; in the 1890s, his father, William, started producing motorcycles in Nottingham. When George was old enough to play a part in the family business, he wanted to steer it towards high-performance machines, but encountered paternal resistance. As a result of this, he struck out on his own in 1919, naming his new company Brough Superior. Made using the highest-quality components available, the new machines lived up to their ‘Superior’ tag, soon becoming sought-after and prestigious motorcycles. Most Brough Superiors were built to the requirements of the individual customer, so there were rarely two the same, but they all shared the same quality and high performance. George Brough himself was often to be seen competing or setting records on his own products, sporting his distinctive flat cap.From 1935, the company added cars to its line-up. The cars were based on a chassis and drivetrain supplied by Hudson, much like the contemporary Railtons of Noel Macklin. At first, straight-eight engines were used; however, opposition to this from Macklin led to Hudson supplying 3.5-litre six-cylinder engines instead. With 107bhp – 140 with the optional Centric supercharger – these cars were very quick for their time. Coachwork was supplied by W.C Atcherley of Birmingham; while saloons were available, most cars were fitted with open coachwork, as befitted such a sporting manufacturer. Car production ended in 1939, with only around 85 examples produced.This 1937 3.5-litre Brough Superior sports a superb drop-head coupe body by W.C Atcherley. Subject to a thorough restoration between 2003 and 2021, it is now in excellent all-round condition. The ash body frame has been rebuilt and refitted with the original aluminium body panels. A new hood frame has been constructed and fitted with a new mohair and cashmere hood. The interior has been reupholstered and fitted with new Wilton carpets, and the steering wheel has been refurbished. The bonnet, running boards and front valance are all new, built by Peter Clairidge, while the steel wings are the originals. Mechanically, the engine has been rebuilt with new white metal bearings, new valves and guides, new timing gears and new piston rings, while the gearbox has been rebuilt by Ian John. The clutch plate has been re-corked, and the brakes overhauled. A handmade stainless exhaust has been fitted, along with a new fuel tank by Reed Engineering. The leaf springs have been re-tempered, and a full rewire carried out. The list of work is truly impressive and supported by plenty of bills in the file that accompanies this rare, high-quality and fast automobile. It also comes with an old logbook and a current V5C.

2005 BMW Z4 ConvertibleReg. no. R24 HNTChassis no. WBABT52040LT03000Engine no. 27445808Launched in 2002, the E85 Z4 was a larger car than the preceding Z3. However, it was also stiffer, resulting in excellent handling, and weight gain was minimized by the use of lightweight materials, such as an aluminium bonnet and suspension components, and a magnesium roof frame. Initially 2.2, 2.5 and 3-litre six-cylinder engines were offered, later joined by a 2-litre 4-cylinder. Proper sports cars – front engined, rear wheel drive, and good weight distribution – the E85 Z4 sold well and remains a popular car.This 2005 example is the 3-litre version, meaning 228bhp and 0-60 in 5.9 seconds – fast by anyone’s standards, even 16 years on. It has had six owners from new and has been used and enjoyed by the vendor for the last few years. Clearly it has been looked after well, as it remains in excellent all-round condition. The brakes were replaced last year, and the vendor reports that the car is very powerful and huge fun. It comes with an MOT until February next year, plus a current V5C.

1951 Alvis TA14 SaloonReg. no. LMA 658Chassis no. 23010Engine no. 23010Testing Alvis' 1.9-litre TA14 sports saloon in 1946, Autocar gave the following report: “It steers lightly and with a confident certainty, and holds the road to perfection; the suspension is not hard, but most comfortable, the engine is very smooth and quite quiet, and the engine mounting conceals how many cylinders there are". The car's excellent tractability, well-spaced gear ratios and powerful brakes all came in for praise, Autocar concluding that the TA14's, "very high level of excellence puts this Alvis right in the front rank". This example has formed part of a large collection for many years, following restoration by Chapel Classics about 20 years ago. Said to be running well by our vendor, this car is fitted with a dynometer, and is offered with a V5C.

1965 Peel TridentReg. no. Currently Registered in IrelandChassis no. E143Engine no. 80416004726The Isle of Man has a rich history of motorsport, but the distinction of the island’s only vehicle manufacturer falls to the Peel Engineering Company, based in Peel on the west coast. Specialists in fibreglass construction, Peel made both fibreglass boats through its subsidiary West Marine, and sports fairings for motorcycles – a good business to be in on the Isle of Man. In 1955, a prototype four-wheeled microcar was produced, the Manxcar. Powered by a 250cc Anzani engine, it never entered production, but the seed was sown. In 1962 production of the 49cc P50 microcar commenced, followed two years later by the Trident. First unveiled at the 1964 Earls Court Motorcycle Show, the Trident featured a new body design but used the P50’s Zweirad Union single-cylinder engine and three-speed gearbox without reverse. When featuring the 49cc engine, it achieved an advertised top speed of 38 mph and a reported 100 mpg. Around 90 Peel Tridents were made, with around 35 original cars believed remaining.This delightful Peel Trident is well known to the Peel register who have been happy to confirm its chassis and engine number as being correct and with its original body and dome. It has been previously owned by bubble car enthusiast Tony Marshall (author of the book "More Microcars"), who took the original historic picture of FYF 17C (the car’s original UK registration) being loaded onto the roof rack of another car. In fact, this very car is featured in the book. Now part of a deceased estate sale this vehicle was last owned and run by larger-than-life character and club member Barrie Willis.The vehicle is currently registered on Irish plates - 65-C-837 - in Cork, Ireland. An Irish registration document is available. The car was last used in 2017 when it was regularly taken to rallies and shows. As such, it has had various upgrades allowing it to be used more effectively on modern day roads. Larger wheels, a modern steering wheel and an upgraded petrol tank are just a few of these. Included in the sale are the original steering wheel, petrol tank and wheel rims. Due to the lack of use over the last four years, light recommissioning is advised, where after the car could be driven as is or restored to original specification. It should be noted that the Peel is currently registered in Ireland so the new owner, if outside Ireland, will have to formally import the car into their own country and pay the necessary tax and duty. If staying in the UK it is believed that it will be possible to retrieve from the DVLA the original registration, but any prospective purchaser will have to satisfy themselves that this is possible.

La Martiniere (Pierre Martin de) A New Voyage into the Northern Countries...of the Norwegians, Laponians, Kilops, Borandians, Siberians, Samojedes, Zemblians, and Islanders, first edition, lacking initial blank leaf, some marginal browning, modern calf, [Wing L204], 12mo, Printed for John Starkey, 1674.⁂ Rare account of travels to the arctic regions by a French surgeon. His father died when he was young and he left home and became a battlefield surgeon's assistant in various campaigns during the Thirty Years War. At the age of 12 he was captured by pirates until liberated by the Knights of Malta four years later. Of the Laplanders he writes: "Every house has belonging to it a great black Cat, of which they make great accompt, talking and discoursing to it as it were a rational Creature. They do nothing but they first communicate with their Cat, as believing she assists them highly in all their enterprizes. Every night they go out of their Cabanes to consult their dear puss, nor can they expect a blessing upon their sports either Hunting, Fishing, Fouling, &c. unless their good Angel goes along with them..."
