1962 Sunbeam Alpine Series II, 1592 cc Registration number HHD 411 Chassis number B9110652 - OD - HRD Engine number B9110652 - OD - HRD The Sunbeam Alpine was produced by the Rootes Group from 1953 to 1955, and then 1959 to 1968. It was the first vehicle from Sunbeam-Talbot to bear the Sunbeam name since the Rootes Group bought Clément-Talbot and later Sunbeam from its receiver in 1935. The first Alpines were based on the Hillman 14 and not very successful so in 1956 Kenneth Howes and Jeff Crompton were tasked with doing a complete redesign, with the goal of producing a dedicated sports car aimed principally at the US market. Typically of the Rootes group there were many revisions, Series I to IV. Total production numbered around 70,000. Production stopped shortly after the Chrysler takeover of the Rootes Group. The Series I was built on a modified floor plan from a Hillman Husky estate car with running gear from a Sunbeam Rapier, it used a 1,494 cc engine. It had dual downdraft carburetors, a soft top that could be hidden by special integral covers and the first available wind-up side windows offered in a British sports car of that time. The Series II of 1960 featured an enlarged 1,592 cc engine producing 80 bhp and revised rear suspension, but there were few other changes. When it was replaced in 1963, 19,956 had been made. When tested by The Motor magazine in 1960, they recorded a top speed of 98.6 mph, it accelerated from 0-60 mph in 13.6 seconds and cost £1,110. This example, which has been partially restored, and is still attached the rotation spit, was first registered on the 1st March 1962 in Wedgewood Blue to Peter Ellis & Sons of Atlas Works in Batley before being sold to Maxwell Betts in 1963 in Huddlesfield, he later moved to Hull, in 1967 Alan Coultas of Hull had it before John Dawson acquired it is 1973. At some point its colour was changed to red and some 20 years ago John began and then abandoned a restoration. Sold with a fibreglass hardtop, the original doors, the R.F.60, V5 and V5C this pretty car will require substantial restoration and prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on how many parts are with the car.

1947 Rover 16 P2 Saloon, 2,147 cc. Registration number FGB 696 (not registered). Chassis number 7411112. Body number 1112. Engine number TBC. The Rover 16 was produced between 1936 and 1948 although production ceased during the War and was the successor to the Meteor 16. The 16 was part of the P2 range which included the 10, 12, 14 and 20 models. The car, with its midly streamlined form, resembled the 10 and the 12 but was slightly longer and featured a more rounded back end. The six cylinder OHV engine had a capacity of 2,147 cc and a claimed 77 mph top end. In addition to the six light saloon and the four light sports saloon, a two door cabriolet was available, with the bodywork by Tickfords. The sports saloon had slightly less length between the seats, a longer bonnet, with the footwell extending further beneath the body. Notable features included a "freewheel" system, Bijur-Luvax automatic lubrication of the chassis and Girling rod actuated fully compensated mechanical brakes. This P2 was purchased by our vendor as a donor car for FAC 312 in the late 1970's from a Mr Stanger of Waterthorpe in Sheffield which he unfortunately said was a Sports Salon (four light) not a saloon (six light). Bought unseen it was delivered to our vendors garage where it became apparent very little of the bodywork was transferable between the two. It had been in storage for five years and some work undertaken on the body. Only 725 examples were built in 1947. Still needing restoration FGB 696 is sold with no paperwork apart from a letter from Mr Stanger.

1946 Rover 16 P2 Sports Saloon, 2,147 cc. Registration number FAC 312 (not registered). Chassis number 5430036. Engine number TBC. The Rover 16 was produced between 1936 and 1948 although production ceased during the War and was the successor to the Meteor 16. The 16 was part of the P2 range which included the 10, 12, 14 and 20 models. The car, with its midly streamlined form, resembled the 10 and the 12 but was slightly longer and featured a more rounded back end. The six cylinder OHV engine had a capacity of 2,147 cc and a claimed 77 mph top end. In addition to the six light saloon and the four light sports saloon, a two door cabriolet was available, with the bodywork by Tickfords. The sports saloon had slightly less length between the seats, a longer bonnet, with the footwell extending further beneath the body. Notable features included a "freewheel" system, Bijur-Luvax automatic lubrication of the chassis and Girling rod actuated fully compensated mechanical brakes. This example was purchased by our vendor on the 12th June 1970 from a Mr Firth who lived in the Stafford area with a mileage of 12,128. He took it up to Carlisle and the across to Yorkshire when he moved here in 1975; the MOT that year stated a mileage of 12,128, so the odometer must have been faulty! He parked it in is garage on arrival with the intention of starting a restoration which he now accepts he will never undertake. In 1983 he sent the original buff logbook into Hull Vehicle Licensing Office to register the number plate but the paperwork was mislaid. In a letter to the office he states that he believes it to be one of the first 36 cars made post WWII, only 225 were built in 1946. Now in need of a full restoration FAC 312 is sold with three old MOT's, the purchase receipt and correspondence with the Licensing Office

1987 Honda VFR750R RC30, 750 cc. Registration number E513 LBT. Frame number RC 1000182. Engine number RC 07E 1032255. Serial number 88013. One of the modern era's few immediately collectible classics, the Honda VFR750R - better known as the "RC30" - was created for just one reason; to win the World Superbike Championship, a feat it acheived in the nascent series' first two seasons of 1988 and 1989. While American Fred Merkel was bringing Honda its first two WSB crowns, Britain's Carl Fogerty used an RC30 to win the TT F1 World Championship in 1988 and 1989 and the equivalent FIM Cup in 1990. No mere short circuit racer, the RC30 and its derivatives proved durable enough to win a hat-full of Endurance Classics too. That this latter requirement was also part of the design brief may be determined from the fact that a quick release front fork and single sided swinging arm - essential for speedy wheel changes - were part of an unrivalled specification that included a twin spar alloy beam, 16 valve V4 engine with gear driven cams, close ratio 6 speed gearbox and four pot brake calipers. The RC 30 was also the first production bike in the world to feature titanium alloy, which was used to make the con rods and no expense was spared on the rest of the machine either. Every component was the lightest and most expensive possible for a road bike and the result was a motorcycle which weighed a paltry 185 kilos. Six years later the legendary Ducati 916 would still be heavier. Each RC30 was hand assembled one at a time in the firm's Hamamatsu plant where the factory race bikes were built meaning that customers were virtually getting their own works bikes built for them. All of which did not come cheap; at the time of its launch to the public in 1988 an RC30 cost near double that of other super sports 750's. Despite the passage of time and the progress of motorcycle technology, the Rc30 remains a match for the latest generation of sports bikes but possesses an exclusivity that none of them can approach, "No other bike from the late 80's is lusted after like an RC30" reckoned Bike magazine. Only 3000 of these machines were built. 88013 would appear to be a very early Japanese market example; production started at RC30-1000001 and this is RC30-1000182. It was imported into the UK by the Eddy Wright dealership of Leeds and at the time it was painted in Honda race colours with gold wheels. After eighteen months of being in his shop it was repainted in the correct colour scheme and fitted with UK dials (zeroed with no note of the original mileage) and R. Haslin bought it. He rode it back from Leeds but it was down on power so he took it to Dean Ashton's shop (Ashton Performance Centre) in Hornsea where it was fettled. He also fitted a VFR front wheel which gave a better tyre profile and set about improving it over the next 3,600 miles of use. In May 2009 it changed hands and our vendor bought it on the 7th December 2013. The mileage is now 4,395. Sold with the V5C, a letter from R. Haslin and the UK history file.
