1936 Lagonda LG45 Sports TourerCoachwork by LagondaRegistration no. CXT 392Chassis no. 12087*One of an estimated 21 survivors of fewer than 40 made*Known ownership history*Part of the Lancashire Constabulary vehicle fleet for 66 years*Restored in the mid-1980sFootnotes:Constructed in Staines under Lagonda's new owner Alan Good and his Technical Director W O Bentley, this LG45 tourer has the same 'DNA' as Fox & Nichols' Le Mans-winning team car of 1935. Indeed, '12087' incorporates many improvements from that winning car that had resulted directly from input by 'W O' and his Chief Engineer, Mr Willy Watson, who had joined Lagonda in August 1935. It is fitted with Meadows' robust 4½-litre six-cylinder overhead-valve engine (number 'LG45/215/S1'). Benefiting from much improvement by Messrs Bentley and Watson, this 'Sanction 1' unit has twin-plug ignition fired by two magnetos (Scintilla as primary and Vertex as supplementary) and twin SU HSV4 carburettors. The gearbox is a Meadows G9 with synchromesh on 3rd and 4th gears, fitted with a right-hand gear selector. Finished in dark grey with maroon interior, the open tourer coachwork was designed and produced in-house by Lagonda's Frank Feeley, considered by many to be the finest British designer of his day.'12087' was delivered on 8th May 1936, and a copy of original build sheet comes with the car. Lagonda's customer was the dealership Kevill-Davies & March of Berkeley Street, London W1 for a Mr Malfatti. The factory service card records a road test dated 13th December 1937 showing a mileage of 28,440. It is assumed that this is when the Lagonda was acquired by Lord Cottenham, who then donated it to the newly established Police Driving School in Hutton, Lancashire. Lord Cottenham's donation had resulted from a move to improve driving standards, initiated by the then Prime Minister Sir Stanley Baldwin, who had turned to racing driver and friend of Lord Cottenham, Sir Malcolm Campbell, for assistance with the project. Lord Cottenham purchased three Lagondas for allocation to the newly formed Police Driving Schools. This car is the only known survivor of those three. It was quickly recognised as being far too prestigious a vehicle to be used at 'PC' level, and it is rumoured that the Lagonda was commandeered by subsequent Chief Constables for their 'official duties'. One of the highlights of the Lagonda's 66 years with Lancashire Constabulary occurred in the late 1980s when it used at the Glasgow Police Tattoo to carry HRH Princess Anne (The Princess Royal) to and from the opening ceremony. Video footage of this event still exists.For many decades, '12087' led a cosseted life in the care of the Lancashire Constabulary vehicle maintenance team. By the early 1980s, the cellulose paint had been all but polished to the primer undercoat, and it was decided that the engine would benefit from an overhaul. It is believed that the car had covered only some 90,000 miles by that time. The accompanying history file contains photographs and correspondence with the current owner from the Police mechanics who looked after the Lagonda from the 1960s until 2003. These same mechanics carried out the no-expense-spared two-year restoration, and the aforementioned correspondence shows that this car was much loved by the men whose responsibility it was to take care of it. In 2003, Lancashire Constabulary sent the Lagonda to auction where it was purchased by its next owner, Mr Alan Lloyd, a knowledgeable collector of prestige motor cars and a long-time member of the Lagonda Club. He used the LG45 sparingly, favouring his Bentleys and Rolls-Royces, and laid it up around 2006/2007 in his warm, carpeted garage. Via a Lagonda Club introduction, the current owner acquired '12087' from Alan Lloyd in 2019 as a non-runner in need of re-commissioning.During the current ownership, the Lagonda has been completely overhauled and returned to the magnificent condition in which it is today. A new high-quality hood, hood bag, and tonneau cover have been fitted also. We are advised by the vendor that the car starts 'on the button' and runs smoothly and quietly with excellent oil pressure; indeed, the owner is confident he could 'drive her to Moscow and back' without issue. He has used the Lagonda frequently and taken it on several long-distance outings including motorway driving (cruising comfortably at 60-70mph) and busy 'A' roads in traffic. It is said to behave impeccably on twisty 'B' roads, with perfect gear ratios for all driving conditions.It is estimated that fewer than 40 examples of this car/body-type were produced, and as far as can be established (by one of the Lagonda Club's historians), only 21 remain today. This is an original, matching numbers car, and is presented as per the original build sheet. The only known modification is the adoption of Lucas P80 headlamps in place of the original Lucas P100s, it being considered that these slightly smaller headlamps are much better suited to this refined, four-seat sports tourer. A period Klaxon horn is fitted, supplementing the original twin Windtone horns, while the original trafficators are in full working order and operate in conjunction with new and tasteful Minicators, better suited to today's driving conditions. An exceptional example with a fascinating history, this rare and desirable Lagonda LG45 Tourer is an important and much admired motor car, worthy of inclusion in any prestigious private collection.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1936 Bentley 4¼-Litre Sports TourerCoachwork by Vanden PlasRegistration no. CXM 104Chassis no. B52GA•Single family ownership since 1951•Exceptionally well documented•Most recent restoration by Milford Vintage Engineering Ltd (2011)•Overdrive transmission Footnotes:'Think of all the driving qualities that make a sports car – crisp handling responses, precision of control, strong acceleration, a general liveliness in demeanour – and this imposing Bentley possesses them all.' – Mark Hughes, Classic and Sportscar. Although Rolls-Royce's acquisition of Bentley Motors in 1931 had robbed the latter of its independence, it did at least ensure the survival of the Bentley name. Launched in 1933, the first of what would become known as the 'Derby' Bentleys continued the marque's sporting associations, but in a manner even more refined than before. Even W O Bentley himself acknowledged that the 3½-Litre model was the finest ever to bear his name. Based on the contemporary Rolls-Royce 20/25, the 3½-Litre Bentley was slightly shorter in the wheelbase at 10' 6' and employed a tuned (115bhp), twin-SU-carburettor version of the former's 3,669cc overhead-valve six-cylinder engine. Add to this already remarkable package a part-synchromesh four-speed gearbox and servo assisted brakes, and the result was a vehicle offering the driver effortless high performance in almost absolute silence. 'The Silent Sports Car', as it was quickly dubbed, had few peers as a tireless long-distance tourer, combining as it did traditional Rolls-Royce refinement with Bentley performance and handling. By the end of the 1930s the 'Derby' Bentley had undergone a number of significant developments, not the least of which was an increase in bore size in 1936 that upped the capacity to 4,257cc, a move that coincided with the adoption of superior Hall's Metal bearings. This new engine was shared with the equivalent Rolls-Royce - the 25/30hp - and as had been the case with the preceding 3½-Litre model, enjoyed a superior specification in Bentley form, boasting twin SU carburettors, a raised compression ratio and a more 'sporting' camshaft. Thus the new 4¼-Litre model offered more power than before while retaining the well-proven chassis with its faultless gearchange and servo-assisted brakes. Offered here is one of the very few sports tourers to this design by Vanden Plas, and arguably the most original of the survivors. London-based coachbuilder Vanden Plas had forged its not inconsiderable reputation by a most fortuitous alliance with Bentley, bodying some 700-or-so of the latter's chassis during the 1920s, including the Le Mans team cars. The firm survived Bentley's demise and resurrection under Rolls-Royce ownership, diversifying into other makes and resuming the relationship with its old partner to produce some of the most sublime designs on the Derby Bentley chassis, of which 'B52GA' is without doubt one of the finest. This particular Derby was delivered new in May 1936 to Miss Nora M MacCaw and registered as 'CXM 104'. It has a remarkable history. The last long-term family owners purchased the car from Carlton Autocars in Halifax, Yorkshire in May 1951. There is some delightful (copy) correspondence on file dating from this period, and even a copy of the stock list from which this special car was chosen. The Bentley was always driven in the family's local region of Perthshire and Angus, and was a familiar sight there for almost 70 years. Silver when purchased, the car was repainted green in the 1950s as this was probably considered a more suitable colour for a Scottish farmer (see photographs on file). Journeys were made in all weathers and seasons with the occupants protected by rugs and blankets, for the hood was seldom up! Many holidays were undertaken in the Highlands, and the Bentley was also used to take the children to school in Edinburgh and back again. In more recent times the car has taken the family to the North and West of Scotland, visiting a few castles and some of the smaller golf courses from Kintyre to the islands of the Hebrides. All routine maintenance has been carried out on the family farm, for they are quite skilled and know the car rather well. For example: the Perspex side screens have been handmade, as the originals do not afford as much wind protection (the originals are in the boot wrapped in a blanket for safekeeping). As one might expect, there is a most substantial quantity of bills on file, many of which relate to an extensive no-expense-spared restoration carried out in 2011 by Milford Vintage Engineering Ltd (inspection recommended). There is also a CD-ROM recording Milford's work. Previous restorations had been carried out by David Scott-Moncrieff (1981) and Classic Restorations Alyth (1993/1994). The car also comes with copy chassis cards; a quantity of expired MoTs; a V5 registration document; and the aforementioned correspondence.Possessing coachwork by one of the most exceptional coachbuilders, and a fascinating history, 'B52GA' is a rare and significant representative of one of most exclusive and desirable of all British Post-Vintage Thoroughbreds: The Derby Bentley.

The ex-Tony Lanfranchi1965 Attila-Chevrolet Mark 3 5.0-Litre Sports-racerChassis no. 302C*Rare early V8-engined sports-racer *One of only two known survivors of three made*Current FIA HTP papers*Chevrolet engine built by Tim Adams*Regular entrant at the Goodwood Revival and Members' MeetingFootnotes:Attila cars were produced by Racing Developments of North London in 1964 and 1965. Racing Developments was run by Mark Perry and Val Dare-Bryan, Dare-Bryan being the designer, formerly with Lotus. Their first car was built for amateur racing driver Roy Pierpoint, who is best remembered for winning the British Saloon Car Championship in 1965 at the wheel of an Alan Mann Racing-entered Ford Mustang. That first Attila was a front-engined Coventry Climax-powered sports-racer, and the firm would go on to build a small number of other cars, that offered here being one of only three V8-engined Attila Mark 3s made. Built around a short-wheelbase tubular spaceframe chassis, the Attila Mk3 incorporated some advanced features for its day, including rocker-arm front suspension with inboard springs/dampers, and an aerodynamic body complete with boot spoiler; it was also one of the first cars to have a Hewland LG500 transaxle gearbox. The first recorded entry of an Attila Mark 3 was in the Aintree 200 meeting on 18th April 1964 with Pierpoint driving, though the car failed to arrive. Roy entered the Attila in a further ten meetings in 1964, the most successful result being 2nd place at the Guards Trophy at Mallory Park on 17th May, the only other finish being at Croft on 23rd August. Contemporary race programmes list the engine as a 4,727cc Ford. For 1965, a second chassis was available for Tony Lanfranchi, built for wealthy businessman and gentleman driver, Pat Hovenden, and entered by Pierpoint's Weybridge Engineering Company. It is that car, chassis number '302C', which is offered here. Attila built three Mark 3s: one Ford-engined, the other two with Chevrolet power. The other Chevrolet-powered Attila is with Kent Abramsson in Sweden while the Ford car has disappeared, leaving this example as one of only two known to survive.'302C' first appeared in the Guards Trophy and British Eagle Trophy races at the postponed BRSCC Boxing Day meeting at Brands Hatch on 31st January 1965. It is understood that it then competed in the Guards round at Mallory Park, and Hovenden then campaigned the car as part of the Redstone Racing Equipe alongside the Buick-engined Lotus 15 of Graham Capel and the Cooper-Chevrolet of Bob White. Races it is known to have entered are as follows:BRSCC Brands Hatch 31st January 1965 Guards and Eagle Trophy Formula LibreBRSCC Mallory Park Whit Sunday 1965 Guards Trophy (possible DNS)BRSCC Snetterton August Band Holiday 1965 Guards TrophyPeterborough Motor Club Silverstone September 1965 Formula LibreBARC Silverstone 9th October 1965 Sports Car RaceDuring the late 1960s and 1970s, '302C' passed through a variety of hands, enjoying varying degrees of success. In the 1990s, the car was extensively restored by Mark Hales and is in much the same specification as it was then. It is fitted with a short-stroke 302ci (5.0-litre) Chevrolet V8 engine and Hewland LG500 gearbox. The engine was built by Tim Adams, and the car has raced only once since the gearbox was rebuilt by BPA Engineering. This Attila has run in at the Goodwood Revival at least half a dozen times and at the Members' Meeting twice, and has always finished in recent years. It has also raced at Spa, Oulton Park, and Silverstone with the Masters series and other events. There is a full set of body moulds and a spare set of Image wheels with the car, which also comes with a very large history file, professionally researched by a previous owner. The car is offered with current FIA HTP papers.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL RoadsterRegistration no. 959 UYOChassis no. 9500100•Landmark Mercedes-Benz sports car•Left-hand drive•Appealing colour combination•Described as in generally very good condition Footnotes:'It proved to be fast and tireless, exhilarating to drive and was probably created with long distance, comfortable travel in mind...' - The Autocar on the Mercedes-Benz 190 SL, 10th January 1956. For those insufficiently wealthy to afford its hyper-expensive race-bred sports car - the 300 SL - Mercedes-Benz offered the less exotic but no less refined 190 SL, which was cleverly styled along the lines of its more costly sibling. Announced in 1954 and based on the 180 saloon whose all-independently-suspended running gear it used, the 190 SL did not enter production until January 1955, the delay being caused by alterations aimed at strengthening the saloon's shortened platform to compensate for the open body's reduced stiffness. 'Very few new sports cars have been so eagerly awaited or so long in coming as the moderately priced SL version of the Mercedes-Benz,' observed Road & Track magazine. Mounted on a detachable sub-frame along with the four-speed manual gearbox, front suspension and steering, the power unit was a 1,897cc overhead-camshaft four - the first such engine ever to feature in a Mercedes-Benz. Breathing through twin Solex downdraft carburettors, the M121 unit produced 105bhp DIN (120bhp SAE) at 5,700rpm, an output sufficient to propel the 190SL to 100km/h (62mph) in 14.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 171km/h (106mph). With its four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox, servo-assisted hydraulic drum brakes, and fully independent suspension, the 190 SL was both more refined and more comfortable than any contemporary British sports car. The fact that the 190 SL's ride was more boulevard than sporting did nothing to deter sales. The model was a big hit in the USA where many of the slightly fewer than 26,000 produced between 1955 and 1963 found homes. Offered here is a very attractively finished left-hand drive example, whose body, ivory paintwork and exterior trim is described by the vendor as in very good condition, while the red leather interior is rated as very good throughout. The engine is said to start and run very well, and the running gear likewise is reported to be very good.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Offered from The Alps to Goodwood Collection1959 Jaguar XK150 3.4-Litre RoadsterChassis no. S830451*Delivered new to the USA*Resident in Switzerland since 1987*Professionally restored by XK Engineering (1988/1989)*Considerable subsequent expenditure*Overdrive transmission*Registered in SwitzerlandFootnotes:What would turn out to be the final glorious incarnation of Jaguar's fabulous 'XK' series of sports cars arrived in 1957. As its nomenclature suggests, the XK150 was a progressive development of the XK120 and XK140, retaining the same basic chassis, 3.4-litre engine, and four-speed Moss transmission of its predecessors while benefiting from a new, wider body that provided increased interior space and improved visibility courtesy of a single-piece wrap-around windscreen, replacing the XK140's divided screen. Cleverly, the new body used many XK120/140 pressings, the increased width being achieved by means of a 4'-wide central fillet. A higher front wing line and broader radiator grille were other obvious differences, but the new model's main talking point was its Dunlop disc brakes. Fade following repeated stops from high speed had been a problem of the earlier, drum-braked cars, but now the XK had stopping power to match its prodigious straight-line speed. Introduced in the spring of 1957, the XK150 was available at first only in fixed and drophead coupé forms, the open roadster version not appearing until the following year. At 190bhp, the engine's maximum power output was identical to that of the XK140 so performance was little changed. 'Special Equipment' and 'S' versions came with 210 and 250bhp respectively. Overdrive and a Borg-Warner automatic gearbox were the transmission options, the latter becoming an increasingly popular choice, while a Thornton Powr-Lok limited-slip differential was available also. Steel wheels remained the standard fitting, though XK150s so equipped are a great rarity, as most were sold in SE (Special Equipment) specification with centre-lock wire wheels. The much-admired chromed Jaguar mascot was made available as an optional extra on an XK for the first time. This XK150 Roadster was sold new to the USA and was imported into Switzerland in 1987 by its former owner, Marco Halter. During 1988/1989 the car was totally restored by renowned specialists XK Engineering of Atherstone, UK at a cost £40,000 (see photographic record on file). The current owner bought the XK in 2006 and had it prepared for historic rallying by Seegarage Portmann (reinforced suspension, under-body protection, etc) at a cost of CHF 20,000. In 2017 the car was completely overhauled again (gearbox rebuilt, overdrive installed, etc) at a cost of CHF 20,000. Accompanying documentation consists of Swiss registration papers and a Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirming matching numbers.Should the vehicle remain in the UK, local import taxes of 5% will be added to the hammer price.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * N* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.N If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, undertaken by Bonhams upon a successful sale, to facilitate the registration of the machine here in the UK.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
