1934 Wolseley 9 hp Tourer with Eustice Watkins bodywork Reg.no: ARR 694 Chassis No.181/138A Engine No.151A/138A Wolseley was based in Birmingham and was involved in the manufacture of motorcars from the start of the motoring industry. By 1901 it was amongst the largest producers, building 327 cars that year, and rising to 3,000 in 1914, by which time they led the industry in the UK. In 1932 Wolseley introduced the Wolseley Hornet Special, which was quite revolutionary at the time, in that it had a six-cylinder, overhead camshaft engine and hydraulic brakes. These were only ever sold in chassis form, and the customer had their chosen coach builder build an individual body, or were purchased by coachbuilders who then erected a body, and the car was then sold through Wolseley Main Agents. This car is one of only three tourers produced on the Wolseley `Wasp` chassis and was a 9 hp four cylinder version of the Wolseley Hornet Special. All three tourers were bodied with spe-cialist coachwork by Eustice Watkins, who also built a number of bodies on the Wolseley Hornet Special chassis. Indeed, there are many detailed similarities, including a remote con-trol gear lever, a sports steering wheel, and a polished aluminium dashboard, which was the same on all three cars. (No 9 hp tourers have been known to have been bodied by any other coachbuilder.) The car would most likely have been sold though the main Wolseley agents Whittingham & Mitchell. First registered in 1934 this Wolseley 9 hp has a four-cylinder ohc engine of 1018 cc together with a four-speed gearbox. Very original and really charming, the car is finished in black with a red interior, together with a full set of side screens. The car was rebuilt in the early nineteen ninety`s. The previous owner, now deceased, used the car up until 2000, but then retired to Grand Canary, and the car was left garaged in Cornwall. It has been recently recommissioned and it is now MoT`d and ready for the road. It has an original buff coloured logbook, together with some past MoT`s, a handbook, an instruction manual and current MOT valid until 14th August 2012.

1933 Rover 14 hp Speed Pilot Fourteen Sports tourer Reg no. BPB 54 Chassis no. 36173 Engine no. 36173 The 14/6 model was introduced in 1933 on a lengthened under-slung chassis. The `Speed` model came with a tuned 1577cc ohv engine and high compression cylinder head enabling speeds of 80 mph. The ports and manifolds were streamlined and carburation was by triple downdraught bronze-bodied S.U.`s. The model used an aluminium-bodied skin over an ash wood frame. 18 inch Rudge Whitworth `centre-lock` wire wheels were fitted, with the spare wheel mounted on the boot at the rear. The Speed Pilot was a further extention of the Rover sales policy to attract a more discerning, up-market clientèle and in the case of this car, it has a one-off coach built body by Carbodies, who were the preferred coach builder for Alvis. In-deed there are great similarities with an Alvis Speed 20 especially from the rear. It has a pet-rol tank capacity of 10 gallon with mpg of 20 to 24. The centre-lock wire wheels are fitted with 18` x 4.75 tyres. This example was owned for many years by a well known Dutch Rover enthusiast, Harry Hildgerdenaar and it has been restored over a long period of time and very well maintained since. This is a very rare car, being the only one of this model manufactured. (According to club records there is in existence a less original two door version.) It is a very desirable and stylish high-speed touring car that is beautifully finished in mid grey with a grey leather interior, all to the original pattern. The gearbox is an ENV four speed manual with synchromesh and freewheel, as original from new, and not the standard Rover gearbox. There is a photocopy of a test in The Autocar 7 April 1933 relating to this actual car. `Termed a four seater, the body really does accommodate four people in comfort, giving plenty of leg room`. It has curved humps to the scuttle with instruments very much in the Art Deco style. There is also an arti-cle in the Mayfair magazine Vol 18 No.9, with photographs of this actual car. Recently the engine has been totally rebuilt and it will require careful `running-in` for the next few hundred miles. The bulging history file contains copious invoices going right back to 1934! Also there are copies of the various invoices relating to the recent engine rebuild. Any Speed 14 is an ex-ceedingly scarce car with only a handful in existence. A rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique and useable car. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com
1935 Singer LeMans Longtail Reg.no. BKA 508 Chassis no. 63903 Engine no. Unknown A lovely example of the now sought after Singer LeMans. These cars in their day were one of the most successful small British sports cars. They competed very well with MG, with the Singer name appearing with great regularity in the prize lists of trials and rallies of the period. The model was only in production for one year, and according to the club register there are only fifteen left. This car was rebuilt in 2007 and has been renovated with a new Michael Sharpe body and ash frame. He also made new floors and front wings. It also has a Trevor Cornelius Ltd (the late Trevor was a leading Singer man) engine with a new cylinder head, a balanced crank etc. There is a massive amount of invoices available, amounting to well in excess of £20,000. There is also a full photographic record, showing a good part of the rebuild. Included are photographs showing `as found` condition. A full double duck hood and set of brand new sidescreens is also fitted. It has also been fitted with a high ratio differential for touring, with new half shafts etc. The car has also been fitted with non-standard halogen headlamps but the restored originals are supplied with the car. It has a new MOT. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com
1951 MG TD Reg.no. GVA 707 Chassis no. TD 10168 Engine no. 27576 The penultimate T series Midget appeared in 1949, being a larger car than its predecessor. The TD owed much to the contemporary Y type saloon, using a narrowed and modified version of its box frame chassis. On this sat an all new body with more room than before, whilst retaining the classic looks of the traditional MG sports car. The saloon parentage was not a handicap, for the Y type was a more advanced design than the TC, employing independent front suspension and rack and pinion steering. Although traditional in appearance the TD offered greatly increased elbow room for the occupants when compared to the TC. From August 1951 a larger clutch was fitted with associated changes to the flywheel and bell housing. These were known as the TD II. Restoration on this example began back in 1974, and a nut and bolt restoration followed, which included a new ash frame. The chassis was shot blasted and stove enamelled, the running gear and brakes were completely overhauled and most recently a full re-trim was carried out including full weather equipment, to a very high standard.

1994 Mazda MX5 1.8i S Reg no. M790 HPJ Chassis no. VMZNA18P200104562 Engine no. BP875571 The Mazda MX5 continues to be the best selling, two seater, convertible sports car in history. Nearly one million have been built and distributed world wide. They have long been seen as the modern interpretation of the 1960`s British sports cars made by the likes of Triumph and MG. They use the classic design of a long-nosed, low body, housing an engine in the front with rear wheel drive. This creates excellent weight distribution and sporty handling, guaranteed to put a smile on anyones face as they zip around tight corners. This car has the 1839cc engine with a five speed manual gearbox. The car is finished in green, with a black cloth interior. The current owner has informed us that the entire car is in good condition, and will be supplied with the V5c and a new MOT. The file contains all of the vehicles old MOT`s and Mazda service history. This car promises to give the owner a lot of fun for their money. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

A TRIUMPH TIGER T 110 PRE-UNIT TWIN CYLINDER OHV 649CC MOTORCYCLE registration number 596 CRR, registration V5 and buff logbook, matching engine and frame numbers 0020290 The Triumph Tiger 110 was the sports development of the more sedate iron engined Thunderbird mode with an alloy sports cylinder head, uprated camshaft, enlarged carburettor and better braking. This model is considered by some to be a more desirable option than the later T120 Bonneville being less temperamental whilst retaining sporting characteristics and performance. This motorcycle has been meticulously dismantled and the components labelled and stored in boxes. It is apparently complete except for the tyres and an exhaust system. The majority of the machine has been expertly renovated with receipts available from the suppliers. The frame, forks, front and rear suspension and swinging arm are assembled. The petrol tank and mudguards are painted in the correct ivory and black. The wheels are rebuilt and remain in their packaging as do the other painted items. The engine has been rebuilt to +20 with a K2F magneto in situ. The cylinder head is ready for refitting. The gearbox casing is polished and gear components renewed but separately boxed.
