When Ford initially commissioned the inaugural batch of Mercury Cougars in 1966, they instantly became a huge success with the public. The name itself evoked vivid imagery of strength, power, and style. The Cougar went on for a few generations, though the original generation is arguably the most well-known. Ford created the Cougar as a halfway point between Mustang and Thunderbird, most notably as a step-up from the Mustang. Ford had projected a sale of about 85,000 units in its first year. However, the public surprised the company by buying 150,000 units. The Cougar had a distinct look, feel, and appeal from its highly successful predecessor, complete with longer chassis and wider wheelbase. The Cougar continued to win many accolades in the years immediately following its launch. 1969s got a minor body restyle and facelift, with a new grille that was now horizontally-barred and stretched all the way across the nose, replacing the previous vertical split "electric-shaver" grille design. Taillights were restyled too, they now canted inward instead of outward, but the style was largely the sameThis Cougar is registered post April 1969, as it is the subtle face lift version. Presented in White with black hood stripe and black vinyl roof over. The interior is black leather or leatherette. It comes with the 351 cid 250bhp 5.8l Windsor V8, which we believe have had a few uprated items fitted to it.  The hood appears to be from an Eliminator of the same year too. The car was imported by our vendor last year, from Texas. It is clear it hasn’t seen any rain or salty air! The car appears mechanically sound (but buyers are advised to check this). There is some trim to be refitted both externally and internally. However, all items appear to be with the car. The original black sports dials are with the car. For now though, it is fitted with performance race dials, which do look the part. This is an extreme muscle car and wants to be driven. For those who love Americana, this first gen Cougar is a must. MORE INFO TO FOLLOW. AWAITING HISTORY FILE.

Announced in August 1932 the J2 Midget was outstanding value for just £199 10s. Making it within the reach of many enthusiasts of the era. Whereas its forerunner the J1 was offered with 4-seater open or closed bodywork, the J2 was strictly a 2-seater and set the fashion in MG sports cars for many years to come. With its classic two humped' scuttle and low 'cut away doors the car was a masterpiece of simple, functional race bred design and is today considered by many to be one of the classic sports cars of all time. The long bonnet conceals not only the engine but gearbox, foot controls and the legs of the driver or passenger. Power came from the well-tried 847cc engine as used on the successful M type which was originally derived from a Wolseley unit. With an eight port crossflow cylinder head and twin SU carburettors, this unit produced a healthy 36 bhp at 5500 rpm. Running for two years, 2,083 J2 were produced.  Sometimes given a hard time for fuel starvation issues, careful maintenance gave good reliable service, and the cars were, in fact, able to withstand far more hard use than any other comparable competitor at the time. So much so that 90 years later the car in our sale is still going strong. OW2953 was first register 13th April 1933. Having one previous owner post the replacement of the Buff logbook. The current vendor’s late husband had owned the vehicle for the last 7 years. Presenting well in bright red, the chrome work and paint work all appear in good condition. The tan leather seats remain comfortable, and the leather is supple. The car starts first time most of the time and drives like a pre-war sports car should. Basically, little more fun could had elsewhere than being behind the wheel of this fabulous sports car. The car also comes with an additional full set of wire wheels & tyres, a gearbox, and a plethora of trophies and awards. Mostly all earned due to its wonderful condition. The history file contains the V5, plus workshop manuals and similar. Offered in the sale at a very reasonable guide price. The simplicity and fun of this car should see it charge to its next custodian.

1930 Austin 12/6 Sports Special Registration no. SV 8805 Chassis no. C11970 Engine no. 1F12230Charming and Dependable 12/6 SpecialExtensive History FileSubject to significant expenditureOffered with VSCC Eligibility Papers Dated 2016Small-capacity sixes were much in vogue in the early 1930s, Austin's offering - the Light 12/6 - appearing in 1930. The Light Six used what was essentially the same chassis as the contemporary 12/4 and was made in two engine sizes: 1,496cc (13.9hp) and 1,711cc (15.9hp) both of which placed it well outside its target 12hp taxation class. The Harley saloon on the Light Six chassis is notable as the first Austin with an all-steel body, while alternative styles included two- and four-seat tourers, a fabric-bodied saloon and the Ascot saloon with projecting boot. The Light Six was restyled along with the rest of the range for 1935, gaining smoother, more modern lines and a painted radiator shell. Production ceased in 1937.A plaque on the firewall of this charming Austin Special states that it was rebuilt in the year 2000 by Bernie Jacobson of East Doncaster, Victoria, Australia. This car was rallied by its previous owner in Switzerland up until 2016. Extensive work was done on the car by Old Timer Motors in Zurich and the original invoices for this, amounting around CHF 30,000, are available with the car. When it was brought back into the UK in 2016, VSCC papers were issued later that same year alongside an original FIA watermarked document. Rugged and dependable, these 1930s Austins are among the easiest of contemporary cars to own and maintain and are supported by an enthusiastic owner's club.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1929 Morris Minor Fire Tender Registration no. UD 2682 Chassis no. U24126 Engine no. U24772•The prototype of only six such vehicles built•Retired from active duty during the 1950s•Restored over a lengthy period of time•Completed in 2012'This speedy little fire-fighting vehicle is of particular value to large private institutions and small communities, or as a tender to the more pretentious fire-fighting vehicle. Its high speed, rapid acceleration and exceptional manoeuvrability enable it to reach a source of trouble in the shortest possible time and thus frequently deal with it effectively before it has attained serious proportions.' - Morris Motors. 'UD 2682' was originally a Morris Motors prototype/factory demonstrator based on the overhead-camshaft Minor chassis. The vehicle was first registered on 1st March 1929 to Morris Motors at Crowley and is one of only six ever built. Two were provided to the City of Oxford Fire Service, two for Worthing Town Council Fire Service, and one for HRH Maharajah Rana Bahadur, this last example being exported to his palace in India. 'UD 2682' served all the way through the Second World War and was retired in the 1950s when the new Morris Minor fire engine was introduced. Usual factory practice was to scrap the old vehicles but this was not the case for 'UD 2682', which was sold to a member of the administrative staff at Morris Motors. As 'UD' was to be rebodied and used as a two-seater sports car, all the firefighting equipment was stripped off.It is not known what happened to 'UD' between this time and when it ended up at an Oxfordshire scrapyard, where the late Mr Peter McCann spotted the vehicle and decided to begin restoring it with the help of a 1929 Morris Minor donor car. Over the following years the Minor changed hands several times with aspects of the restoration ongoing, until the car was purchased by the current vendor 13 years ago, still in a sorry state. After countless hours of work and searching for the correct type of equipment that would have been carried in period, 'UD 2682' has been returned to its original factory livery 94 years later. Without the intervention of the late Mr McCann, 'UD 2682' would have been lost forever.Several years ago, 'UD 2682' was displayed at the NEC, Birmingham where the late Sir Stirlng Moss had a long chat with the owner. Stirling remarked that one of his first cars had been an MG M-Type, a model similar to the OHC Minor, and so the Morris 'must be a little flyer'. Very likely a unique survivor, this charming Morris Minor fire tender comes with handbook, jack and starting handle, and is offered with a V5C document and a file containing numerous photographs.

1980 Kougar Monza Roadster Registration no. 100 MXJ Chassis no. 1001/04/80M Engine no. TBO4272•Aluminium-bodied prototype•Built by the factory•Ford Essex 3.0-litre V6 engine•Rebuilt by Jim Stokes Workshops in 2012/2013Since its introduction almost 50 years ago, the Kougar Sports has represented the opportunity for enthusiasts to acquire a traditionally styled sports car, reminiscent of a Healey Silverstone of Frazer Nash TT Replica, built using relatively modern automotive technology. Beautifully finished and necessarily very expensive (over £3,000 at time of launch or getting on for £24,000 in today's money) the Sports was originally based on Jaguar S-Type components, with Rover's V8 becoming a power-plant option in the 1980s, but was later offered in Jaguar XJ6-based form only. The chassis was a tubular spaceframe around which was wrapped door-less, two-seater coachwork in glassfibre, the prototype having been aluminium. Whether constructed in six- or eight-cylinder form, the lightweight Kougar possessed formidable acceleration and afforded owners an involving and exciting driving experience. Clearly inspired by Ferrari's front-engined sports prototypes of the mid-1950s, Stevens' second design, the Kougar Monza, first appeared around 1980, the example offered here - chassis number '1001' - being the prototype. Initially developed to use Ford engines, the Monza was later revised to take Jaguar components, as the Sports had been, with a few using Rover V8 or Jaguar XK six or V12 engines. Approximately 40 Monzas were made, with most finding customers on the USA's West Coast. According to the Kougar Owners Club, around 60% of Kougar production was sold as kits, the remaining 40% being complete cars supplied by the factory. This prototype's aluminium body was built by Aubrey Finburgh, whereas the production versions were bodied in glassfibre. The Monza is powered by a 3.0-litre Ford Essex V6 engine and has a five-speed manual gearbox, while Borrani aluminium wire wheels and period dashboard-mounted stopwatches are other features of note. It was fully restored by the Jim Stoke Workshops Group in 2012/2013 and is described by our vendor as in generally excellent condition. Restoration invoices and a photographic record on CD are available, and the car comes with a V5C document. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1951 MG YB Sports Saloon Registration no. OOP 672 Chassis no. XPAG/8C2/17022MG's first post-war saloon, the Y-Type employed the advanced features of coil-spring independent front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering, and shared the contemporary TC sports car's 1,250cc four-cylinder XPAG engine, albeit in single-carburettor form. Introduced for 1952, the YB incorporated a number of improvements including Lockheed twin-leading-shoe brakes, a stronger clutch, 15' wheels, and a hypoid bevel rear axle. YB production ceased at the end of 1953, by which time only 1,301 examples of this charming small sports saloon had been made. This MG YB has had 11 owners from new. In 1978 the MG was bought by a Mr Haydon Frost and a body-off restoration was started in 1980: engine rebuilt, body resprayed, etc. The car was reassembled but then Mr Frost fell ill and it was bought by a Mr Harry Griffiths in 2014. Mr Griffiths continued to restore the car but he too fell ill, and our vendor bought the car from him in January 2023. Now the vendor has developed a frozen shoulder plus arthritis so he is passing the car on. He advises us that the rewiring needs to be finished plus some wing piping to be fixed. The substantial history file contains a quantity of photographs and bills, etc relating to the rebuild. Described by the vendor as in generally good condition albeit in need of finishing, the car comes with a starting handle, photocopy workshop manual, and wiring diagrams.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Bugatti Type 57-Style Bodyshell Coachwork by in the style of Corsica Chassis no. n/a•Aluminium replica body•In the style of a Bugatti T57 Corsica•Tan interior believed to be from a 1936 T57By the early 1930s Ettore Bugatti had established an unrivalled reputation for building cars with outstanding performance on road or track; the world's greatest racing drivers enjoying countless successes aboard the Molsheim factory's products and often choosing them for their everyday transport. Because of its lengthy run of success, Ettore Bugatti remained stubbornly committed to his single-cam engine, only adopting the more advanced double-overhead-camshaft method of valve actuation, after much prompting by his eldest son Jean, on the Type 50 of 1930. From then on Jean Bugatti took greater responsibility for design, his first car being the exquisite Type 55 roadster, a model ranking among the finest sports cars of the 1930s. He followed that with a design of equal stature, the Type 57. A larger car than the Type 55, the Type 57 was powered by a 3.3-litre, double-overhead-camshaft straight eight of modern design housed in Bugatti's familiar Vintage-style chassis. Showing the strong influence of Jean Bugatti, it at last gave the marque a civilised Grande Routière to match those of rivals Delage and Delahaye. The Type 57 in all its forms attracted discerning owners who were only satisfied with the best, among them speed king Sir Malcolm Campbell. Himself the owner of a Type 57, he wrote: 'If I was asked to give my opinion as to the best all-round super-sports car which is available on the market today, I should, without any hesitation whatever, say it was the 3.3 Bugatti... it cannot fail to attract the connoisseur or those who know how to handle the thoroughbred. It is a car in a class by itself.' Indeed, Bugatti historian Hugh Conway even went so far as to described the Type 57 as 'the most celebrated non-racing car that Bugatti ever produced'. Offered here is a replica aluminium body in the style of a Bugatti T57 Corsica. Very well presented, it is finished in deep blue with a tan-trimmed seats.

Porsche-Style 718 RSK Spyder Replica Project Chassis no. 903060Porsche's first successful competition cars were lightweight developments of its first road car, the Type 356, one of which took class honours at Le Mans in 1951. A succession of purpose-built sports-racers followed. Introduced in 1958, the 718 RSK featured a lightened and stiffened version of the preceding 550A's spaceframe chassis and completely redesigned front suspension. Lower and more aerodynamically efficient than its predecessor, the 718 RSK was updated with double wishbone rear suspension for 1959 before evolving into the closely related RS60 and RS61 models. In an illustrious career, the 718 RSK and its derivatives took countless class victories in international sports car racing and won the European Hill Climb Championship and the 1963 Targa Florio outright. This 718 RSK replica is built on a custom made tubular chassis frame and comes complete with front and rear aluminium panels. The chassis plate included is that of a Porsche 914: 'Typ 47, Fahrgast Nr 475, VIN 903060'. The project requires finishing and is sold strictly as viewed. There are no documents with this lot.

1970 Aston Martin DB6 Mark 2 FI Sports Saloon Registration no. not UK registered Chassis no. DB6MK2EFI/4253/R Engine no. 400/4595/FI•One of only 245 DB6 Mk2s made•Manual transmission•Present ownership since 2008•Stored since acquisition•Requires re-commissioningIn 1958 Aston Martin introduced the DB4, the first of a line that would culminate in the DB6 built between 1965 and 1969. Introduced at the 1965 London Motor Show, the DB6 was recognisably related to the Touring-styled DB4 but abandoned the Superleggera body structure of its predecessors in favour of a conventional steel fabrication. At 8' 5¾' the wheelbase was now 3¾' longer than before, resulting in an extensive restyle with more-raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. The result was significantly increased interior space, making the DB6 a genuine four-seater and greatly extending its appeal. Opening front quarter lights reappeared but the major change was at the rear where a Kamm-style tail with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. This device had first been tried on the DP214 and DP215 DB4GT-based Le Mans prototypes, yet another example of racing improving the breed. The Tadek Marek-designed six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5, and remained unchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox, and for the first time there was optional power-assisted steering. In the summer of 1969 Aston Martin announced the DB6 Mark 2 in saloon and convertible versions, this being the final development of the noble line that had begun with the DB4 back in 1958. Distinguishable by its flared wheelarches and DBS wheels, the DB6 Mark 2 came with power-assisted steering as standard and could be ordered with AE Brico electronic fuel injection. When DB6 Mark 2 production ceased in November 1970, a total of 245 had been made, of which only 46 left the factory fitted with the optional fuel injection like this example. Last-of-the-line models are always sought after by discerning collectors, and few are more highly prized that the final flowering of the glorious 'David Brown' six-cylinder series, considered by many to be the last of the 'real' Aston Martins.Little is known about the history of this Mk2 DB6 apart from the names of previous owners on copies of old V5 and V5C documents on file. The current vendor purchased the DB6 from marque specialist Desmond J Smail in February 2008 (copy invoice on file), since when it has been kept on static display.

1949 Triumph Roadster 2000 Convertible Registration no. LPP 939 Chassis no. TRA 689•Restored circa 40 years ago•Regularly used and campaigned•Standard Vanguard overdrive gearbox•Well loved and well maintainedThanks to its use by TV's fictional Jersey detective Jim Bergerac, few post-war classics are as instantly recognisable as the Triumph Roadster. A landmark model in the history of the Coventry firm, the 1800 Roadster was one of the first post-war designs to bear the Triumph name. Standard was already supplying Jaguar with a 1,776cc overhead-valve engine and four-speed gearbox for the latter's 1½-Litre saloon, and these were chosen for the new car. The chassis - an all-new design featuring independent front suspension - comprised two large-diameter steel tubes joined by cross braces. Styled by Standard's Frank Callaby, the Roadster's elegant alloy-panelled body was unusual in retaining the dickey seat that had been a feature of the pre-war Triumph Dolomite Roadster Coupé.Launched in March 1946 alongside its sister car, the 1800 Saloon, the Roadster was not revised until 1948 when it received the 2.1-litre engine, three-speed gearbox, and rear axle of the newly introduced Standard Vanguard, which would also be used in Triumph's TR sports cars. When Roadster production ceased the following year, a total of 4,501 of these charismatic cars had been built, there being an estimated 400-plus survivors.This example owes its survival to a gentleman who bought it as a 'barn find' in 1981 and spent two years restoring it from the ground upwards. The only significant mechanical change is an upgrade to the Standard Vanguard's overdrive gearbox, giving an extra ratio on both second and top that makes for more relaxed open-road cruising. The owner got a great deal of use out of it over the next almost 40 years, collecting prizes at shows and enjoying tours abroad to France and (inevitably!) Jersey with the Roadster Club. The paint has been reapplied once since the restoration but otherwise the car presents as a well-loved, well-maintained example, ready for anything.The history file contains restoration photographs, as well as a few more from shows and associated newspaper cuttings. There is a receipt for a new exhaust, fabricated from stainless steel in 2007, and some manuals and technical handbooks for the Roadster and related saloon models. Remarkably, there is even a cutting from the local paper in 1981 announcing the auction of this car 'in need of renovation'. There is also correspondence and information from the Roadster club, and a lengthy run of MoTs from 1991 onwards that demonstrate the car's consistent roadworthiness and regular use over the years. The car has been stored unused for the last year since it was purchased by the now deceased enthusiast'Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

YEL 302S Chassis no. 1Z87L8S413859 Engine no. 413859•Finished in two-tone silver Anniversary colours•L48 V-8 engine•Manual 4-speed gearbox•21,000 recorded milesBack in 1953, Chevrolet's launch of a two-seater sports car was a radical departure for a marque hitherto associated almost exclusively with sensible family transport. Based on the 1952 EX-122 show car, the Corvette made use of existing GM running gear and a shortened chassis frame, around which was wrapped striking Harley Earl-styled glassfibre coachwork. Motive power came from Chevrolet's 235.5ci (3.8-litre) overhead-valve straight six and, unusually for a sports car, there was automatic transmission, a feature that attracted much adverse criticism at the time. Intended as competition for the T-Series MG, the Corvette cost way above the target figure, ending up in Jaguar XK120 territory but with an inferior performance. Sales were sluggish initially and the model came close to being axed, surviving thanks to Chevrolet's need to compete with Ford's Thunderbird. A V8 engine for 1955 and a radical re-style for '56 had consolidated the Vette's position in the market before arrival of the heavily revised 'Sting Ray' version. Introduced for 1963, the Sting Ray sported a totally new ladder-type chassis and for the first time there was a Gran Turismo coupé in the range. As had been the case with the previous (1956-62) generation of Corvettes, development proceeded slowly, being characterised by annual facelifts and few engineering changes of note. On the latter front, the long-overdue arrival of four-wheel disc brakes was the most significant development for 1965, while Chevrolet's 327ci (5.4-litre) 250bhp standard V8 was joined by an optional 396ci (6.5-litre) Big Block for '65 only, then a '427' until the end of Sting Ray production in 1967. The 'Stingray', of course, continued and the Corvette would go on to become the world's best-selling and longest-lived sports car.The immortal Chevrolet Corvette, 'America's only true production sports car', celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1978, a year that marked the first major re-style since the commencement of the 'Stingray' era ten years previously. By then, catalytic converters had arrived, the 'Big Block' engines had gone, a steel under-tray had been added and a revised dashboard introduced, while the Corvette roadster had been deleted in the expectation that Federal auto legislation would effectively outlaw convertibles. Gone too was the 'Stingray' name, dropped at the end of the 1976 season. For '78 the fastback roofline of the 1963-67 Sting Ray was reinstated and complemented by a wrap-around rear window. The 'Silver Anniversary' was one of two limited edition models offered that year, featuring silver metallic paint above the waistline and charcoal grey below as part of a package that included aluminium alloy wheels. According to our vendor, this 25th Anniversary Corvette is in very solid original condition having covered only 21,000 miles. It has the L48 350ci (5.3-litre) V8 engine coupled to manual four-speed gearbox. It is believed that the car had one owner from 1978 (Mr Homer Bryant of Dade City, Florida) until it was imported into the UK in 2017.Serviced in 2022, it comes with plentiful history, including the original sales invoice, recent maintenance bills, and some memorabilia.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1978 Aston Martin V8 Series 3 Sports Saloon Registration no. not UK registered Chassis no. V8/11799/RCAS Engine no. V/540/1799/S•Automatic transmission•Present ownership since 2010•Dry stored since acquisition•Requires recommissioning'Anyone wondering why Aston Martin bother to make their own vee-8 when so many big American ones are so cheaply available need take only one look at the performance data... for the best explanation in the world. Whatever the undisclosed output of the Aston V8, it is enough to rocket this heavy car to 60mph from rest in exactly six seconds and to 100mph in only 14.7 seconds. Much more than this, we were able to reach 138 mph from rest in a mile and on the Continent record a mean maximum speed of 161.5 mph.' - Autocar, 8 July 1971.Although always intended to house the new Tadek Marek-designed V8, the DBS first appeared with the 4-litre six of the concurrently produced DB6. Styled in-house by Bill Towns, the four-seater DBS employed a platform-type chassis with independent suspension all round: wishbone and coil-spring at the front, De Dion with Watts linkage at the rear. Bigger and more luxuriously appointed than the DB6, the heavier DBS disappointed some by virtue of its slightly reduced performance, but there were no complaints when the V8 arrived in 1969. With an estimated 345bhp available from its 5,340cc, fuel-injected, four-cam motor, the DBS V8 could reach 100mph in under 14 seconds, running on to a top speed of 160mph - a staggering performance in those days and one which fully justified the claim that it was the fastest production car in the world. The acquisition of Aston Martin by Company Developments in 1972 brought with it a change of name for the V8-engined cars: out went DBS V8, in came AM V8. This new Series 2 was readily distinguishable by its re-styled front which now featured two instead of four headlamps and recalled the looks of the earlier DB six-cylinder cars. Electronic ignition and air conditioning were now standard. Introduced in 1973, the Series 3 employed a quartet of Weber 42 DCNF carburettors instead of the previous Bosch mechanical fuel injection, the change bringing with it increased torque and necessitating a larger bonnet bulge. Despite the switch, fuel economy improved and even in automatic transmission form the Weber-equipped car proved almost as quick as the preceding manual version. According to its accompanying car record card, this car was delivered new in Imperial Burgundy with Fawn trim. It was delivered via HW Motors on the 1st June 1978. Unfortunately, little is known of the early history of this automatic transmission Series 3 V8 apart from an entry in the AMOC Register (2000) which records the registration as 'VMP 266S' in 1998. The car was offered by Bonhams in 2009 at the Aston Martin Sale, where it was catalogued as having had a glass out respray in 1996 and outrigger work in 1998. Sadly this documentation has been lost and the only documentation with the car is a Middle Eastern registration card issued in July 2012, which is believed to be approximately when our vendor acquired the Aston. Kept on static display as part of the vendor's extensive private collection, the car will require recommissioning before further use.

1937 Bentley 4¼-Litre Sports Saloon Project Coachwork by Park Ward Ltd Registration no. DLT 677 Chassis no. B80JD Engine no. C6BH•First owned by Major The Hon. Oscar Montague Guest, MP•Purchased by Alan Clark in 1989•Offered for sale by the Clark family•Requires restorationBy the end of the 1930s the 'Derby' Bentley, introduced towards the beginning of that decade following the firm's take-over by Rolls-Royce, 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, 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 gear-change and servo-assisted brakes. The Derby Bentley was, of course, an exclusively coachbuilt automobile. Of the 2,442 manufactured, almost 50 percent were bodied by Park Ward in a limited number of styles and this example is typical of the firm's popular sports saloon. 'DLT 677' was delivered new to its first owner Major The Hon. Oscar Montague Guest, MP, youngest son of the 1st Baron Wimborne, in February 1937. Many years later the Bentley belonged to another, somewhat better known parliamentarian, the motoring enthusiast and famed bon viveur, the Rt Hon. Alan Clark, MP, who purchased it in 1989. 'DLT 677' was collected from its owner in the Midlands and driven to Saltwood Castle, the Clark family's home in Kent. The car had been purchased with the intention of restoring it; sadly, ill health intervened and the project never got off the ground. The Bentley has remained at Saltwood Castle in the Clark family's possession ever since, complete but in need of restoration (the engine has not run for many years but is said to be 'free'). Offered with an old-style logbook and V5C document, this handsome Derby Bentley represents a potentially most rewarding project. Sold strictly as viewed.

c.1950 Bristol 401 Sports Saloon Project Registration no. OHW 739 Chassis no. 401 1088 Engine no. 85C 2019First of the 'Aerodyne' BristolsOne of only 611 madePresent ownership since 1989Offered for restoration'It will comfortably carry four people; in addition to them it will swallow an almost fabulous volume of luggage. It will sustain 80-90mph from dawn until the cows some home... and it is built with all the painstaking care and thoroughness which have made the products of the City of Bristol famous throughout the world.' - The Motor. With the introduction of the 401 - the first of its exquisitely styled Aerodynes - Bristol began to move away from the pre-war design the company had inherited from BMW. Carrozzeria Touring provided the Superleggera method of body construction that overlaid alloy panels on a lightweight tubular-steel framework, while the low-drag shape was achieved after hours of experimentation in Bristol's wind tunnel. It had been intended that the Milan-based carrozzeria would build the first 200 cars, but this idea was abandoned after a mere handful of prototypes had been completed. The 401 continued to use its predecessor's running gear and BMW-based, 2.0-litre, six-cylinder engine with its ingeniously arranged, pushrod-operated inclined valves. The gearbox remained a manual four-speed unit with first-gear freewheel. The 401's aircraft-industry standard of construction did not come cheap however - at £2,270 it cost as much as an Aston Martin DB2 - and only 611 of these exclusive cars found customers between 1948 and 1953. This Bristol 401 has belonged to the current vendor since 1989, being used for family weddings and occasional outings on a regular basis. The car is offered as a project requiring restoration. Our vendor states that the engine runs and that the transmission works, and describes the chassis, bodywork and electrics as 'average'. The paintwork is rated as poor. We are advised that the fuel tank has a small leak, which has necessitated fitting an auxiliary tank in the boot. Finished in green with beige interior, the latter understood to be original, the car comes with a V5C document and is sold strictly as viewed.

1951 Daimler 2½-Litre Special Sports Drophead Coupé Registration no. MGU 111 Chassis no. 59013 Engine no. 44245•First owned by famous novelist Hammond Innes•Fully restored between 2011 and 2012•Requires recommissioning following storage•Comprehensive history fileThis rare Special Sports comes with an account of its life written by the previous owner and published in the Daimler & Lanchester Owners Club magazine. The car was nicknamed 'Magoo' by its first owner, the famous novelist Hammond Innes. Innes bought the car from the Motor Show stand in 1951 when he had just been told of record sales of his novel The Wreck of the Mary Deare and that the film rights had been sold. He kept the Daimler until 1962, by which time it had covered some 62,000 miles, mainly on the Continent. The next owner was a Mr B Riding, resident in London, who covered around 40,000 miles, most of them on the newly opened M4 motorway travelling from London to Somerset and back. In 1983 the Daimler was sold again, remaining in London where it was garage stored. While the owner was away the coolant froze in cold weather, splitting the cylinder block and inlet manifold. The car was left to deteriorate. A Daimler enthusiast and DLOC member, the previous owner purchased 'MGU 111' in 2011 with 5,200 miles recorded (105,200 miles in actual fact). He then proceeded to fully restore the car as far as was possible to original specification. The engine block was replaced with an ex-MoD Dingo Scout Car spare, and the wings extensively rebuilt to rectify corrosion around the sidelight pods and where they meet the apron across the front. Wood was replaced in the sills, and the entire car painted in cellulose in the original colours. All rubbers, seals, front suspension bushes, brake seals were replaced wherever necessary. Original apart from the carpets, the interior was cleaned and treated. A new wiring loom was fitted also. In addition, the period-look radio was upgraded with modern internals.Since the aforementioned previous owner's death five years ago the car has been in storage and will require a thorough check-over and service before returning to the road. 'MGU 111' has a fascinating history file containing all invoices for the period 1962-1983 and commencing with an RAC inspection for the second owner; it also contains a substantial quantity of bills, including those relating to its restoration of 2011-2012. Offered with a V5C document and original handbook.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

c.1937 Delahaye Type 134N Project Registration no. not registered Chassis no. 800037 Engine no. 800037•Rare Delahaye luxury model•Rolling chassis, engine and gearbox•Aluminium replica body•Exciting and potentially most rewarding projectBased initially at Tours and from 1906 in Paris, Delahaye built its first automobile in 1895 and later branched out into commercial vehicle manufacture. Up to the mid-1930s its products tended to be worthy though unexciting, but then in 1935 came the first of a new generation which would change the marque's image forever - the T135 Coupe Des Alpes. Emile Delahaye himself designed the early cars and remained with the company he had founded after its sale in 1897 to two Paris-based industrialists, Léon Desmarais and Georges Morane. He retired in 1901, leaving Delahaye in the capable hands of production manager Charles Weiffenbach and engineer Amédée Varlet. By this time the company had left its Tours home and been re-established in the Morane family's factory in the Gobbelins district of Paris. The firm built single- and twin-cylinder models initially, and introduced its first four-cylinder car – the Type 11 – in 1903. By the outbreak of The Great War, Delahaye had established a reputation for quality and reliability and was ranked in the top ten of French carmakers. Offered here is an what appears to be an original Delahaye 134N rolling chassis, complete with an engine and gearbox. An expensive luxury model, the Delahaye 134 was introduced in 1933 and built until 1940, from 1936 onwards as the 134N, and was powered by a 2,151cc four-cylinder engine producing 45bhp (50bhp 134N), which was effectively two thirds of the overhead-valve six of the 135 sports car. Transmission options were a four-speed manual or four-speed Cotal pre-selector, while the chassis boasted independent leaf-sprung front suspension, a live rear axle, and cable-operated Bendix brakes. The 134N reappeared briefly post-war and was last offered in 1946. This example's chassis plate states 'Type 134N No. 800037' while the engine plate reads 'Moteur 1.K.140' No. Du Moteur '800037'. The replica body, completed by Steve McFarlane's Coachbuilders in bare aluminium, is in the style of a 135 MS Competition by Figoni et Falaschi.

1968 Ford Mustang Convertible Registration no. XBY 415F Chassis no. 8FO3J178011•First registered in the UK in 2007•302ci (5.0-litre) 230bhp 'J' code V8 engine•Four-speed manual gearbox•MoT to 1st November 2023'The Mustang can be tailored to be anything from a gentle in-town ladies' car to an impressive 130mph highway performer. Undoubtedly its almost infinitely variable personality is one of the car's chief attractions...' - William S Stone, The Ford Mustang.Ford created a new class of car almost overnight with the introduction of the Mustang sports coupé part way through the 1964 season, catching the rest of the US auto industry off guard. Brainchild of Lee Iacocca - subsequent saviour of the Chrysler Corporation – the Mustang is one of the most remarkable automotive success stories of modern times and arguably the pinnacle of his long career with Ford. Aimed at the affluent young, for whom a car was as much a lifestyle statement as means of transport, the Mustang succeeded brilliantly, achieving sales in excess of a quarter million by the end of '64. This remarkable debut was followed by a staggering 524,791 sales in 1965, earning Ford a fortune.The secret of the Mustang's success was a broad appeal that extended beyond the target market thanks to a great value-for-money package combining sporty looks, decent economy and brisk performance. Mustangs could be ordered in specifications ranging from six-cylinder 'economy' to V8-powered luxury, while customers could choose from an extensive range of factory options, with the result that seldom are two Mustangs identical. The Mustang was enlarged and restyled for 1969 and again for 1971, but of all the many versions since 1964, it is the early cars that are by far the most desirable. Built at Ford's Dearborn plant in November 1968, this Mustang convertible has the 302ci (5.0-litre) 230bhp 'J' code V8 engine and the four-speed manual transmission with B&M gear shifter. Other notable features include servo-assisted brakes; GT spot lamps; Sony radio; and 'Trafficator' style louvred bonnet. The car is finished in metallic red paint with cream/white roof and white interior with red carpets. First registered in the UK in 2007, this highly desirable Mustang 'rag top' is offered with a V5C document and MoT to 1st November 2023.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Mustangs could be ordered in specifications ranging from six-cylinder 'economy' to V8-powered luxury, while customers could choose from an extensive range of factory options, with the result that seldom are two Mustangs identical. The iconic Ford Mustang has appeared in countless movies over the years, most notably in Bullitt starring Steve McQueen (1968) and Gone in 60 Seconds starring Nicolas Cage (2000). Continuing the tradition, this Ford Mustang coupé was used as a stunt car in the recent, 2023-released, Guy Ritchie-directed Netflix motion picture Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, a spy action comedy starring Jason Stratham, Hugh Grant and Josh Hartnett among others. It is understood that it was driven for the stunt scenes by BBC TV Top Gear's 'The Stig'. Delayed by the Covid pandemic, filming was moved to Turkey having originally been scheduled for the UK. The Mustang was purchased from our vendor by the production company and then reacquired by him. Built in Ford's San Jose plant, this Mustang has automatic transmission and is fitted with a fuel-injected, high output 5.0-litre V8 engine. Other notable features include Brembo servo-assisted front disc brakes; power-assisted steering; roll bar; air conditioning (not connected); and a central quick-release handbrake, the latter specially fitted for the film. The car is painted blue but wrapped in metallic red with double grey centre stripes. Offered with a copy of its old State of California Certificate of Title (issued 2010), the Mustang is currently UK registered. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1971 Aston Martin DBS Sports Saloon Registration no. not UK registered Chassis no. DBS/5754/R•Automatic transmission•Present ownership since circa 2012•Kept in dry storage since acquisition•Requires recommissioningAlthough always intended to house the new Tadek Marek-designed V8 engine, the Aston Martin DBS was launched in October 1967 with the 4.0-litre 'six' of the concurrently produced DB6. Styled in-house by William Towns, the beautiful DBS caused quite a stir, Autocar magazine observing: 'Without the aid of an Italian stylist the Newport Pagnell team came up with something as modern, handsome and Italianate as anything from the Turin coachbuilders at that time.'Beneath its shapely exterior the DBS employed a platform-type chassis with independent suspension all round: wishbone and coil-spring at the front, De Dion with Watts linkage at the rear. Larger and more luxuriously appointed than the DB6, the DBS was, inevitably, heavier but the Vantage version's top speed of 140mph and a standing quarter-mile time of 16.3 seconds were highly respectable figures nonetheless. Assessing the virtues of Aston's new flagship, Autocar judged it superior to the DB6 in many areas, the bigger DBS offering four full-sized seats in addition to transformed handling and roadholding courtesy of the new rear suspension and standardised power steering. 'Turning to matters other than performance, we really were most tremendously impressed by the DBS,' enthused Car magazine. 'The interior, especially merits praise not only for its uniquely satisfying aesthetics and superb finish (way, way ahead of any Italian rival in this respect) but also for the thought that has gone into the ergonomics of its layout.'Although less well known as such than the earlier 'DB' series, the DBS is yet another 'James Bond' Aston Martin, having featured in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) and, albeit briefly, Diamonds Are Forever (1971). Copies of factory paperwork on file show that right-hand drive chassis '5754/R' was delivered new to a Mr D Pickerill of Glasgow, with a subsequent owner, Mr Sid Segal noted in December 1971. It was finished in Dubonnet Rosso with Natural interior trim and equipped with automatic transmission. It was delivered new with an MPH speedometer but appears to have a KMH one fitted now, it is unknown when this change was made. The only other paperwork is a photocopy of the Aston's last (part) V5C document listing Classic Cars Peter Jarvis as owner from 14th April 2008, and a photocopy Middle Eastern registration card issued in July 2012, which is believed to be when our vendor acquired the DBS.

1936 Lagonda LG45 4½-Litre 'Rapide' Style Sports Tourer Coachwork by The Northern Lagonda Factory Registration no. EPC 207 Chassis no. 12258 (Car No. 12097) Engine no. LG45/430/S4• Converted to 'Rapide' specification by The Northern Lagonda Factory• Offered from a significant British-themed collection• Requires recommissioningA 1937 model built late in 1936, this outstandingly attractive re-bodied Lagonda is modelled after the definitive LG45R Rapide of the mid-1930s and is one of a batch of six original LG45s converted to Rapide specification - in this case including the correct T9 gearbox - during the 1980s by the co-operative venture known as 'The Northern Lagonda Factory'.When this particular car's comprehensive conversion into its present form had been completed, it was delivered to Mr Malcolm Hoyle, from whom it subsequently passed to the next owner via respected London dealer Danny Margulies. The engine was stripped and rebuilt by the highly-regarded marque specialists Cedar Classic Cars of Hartley Whitney, and when offered at Brooks' sale at Lord's Cricket Ground in July 1992 (Lot 166), the car was said to be in first-rate mechanical order. It had also benefited from considerable cosmetic work by one of the country's leading Aston Martin Lagonda specialists.Following the aforementioned Brooks sale, the Lagonda made its way to a collection in South Africa. There it was used sparingly until, during an unoccupied poolside moment while on holiday in South Africa, our vendor purchased the car and repatriated it to the UK in 2017. Here it has resided within a significant British-themed collection and been used sparingly. A change of direction for the collection as a whole is the reason for its sale.The bodywork generally presents well, though there are the usual marks around the front of the bonnet from opening and closing, and various minor blemishes in the paint (see condition photographs). The interior leather has a wonderful, aged feel to it, and the car has mellowed with the passage of time since its restoration prior to the 1992 Brooks. Today, the Lagonda does not look like a freshly restored example but has a very authentic feel to it.Having been stored carefully for several years, the Lagonda was last used on the road by our vendor in 2019. We are advised that the magneto will need rebuilding before running, and it would benefit from a service and inspection before embarking on its next adventure. Luckly with a wealth of worldwide marque experts this should be an easy task for its new custodian. The Lagonda LG45, especially in enhanced Rapide specification, was one of the most exciting and elegant British sports cars of the pre-war period and a true supercar of its day.

1960 Mercedes-Benz 300d 'Adenauer' Saloon Registration no. to be advised Chassis no. 18901012001930 Engine no. 12798412000346•One of 581 300d saloons built in 1960•Left-hand drive•Non-original Mercedes-Benz engine•Manual column-change gearbox•Repainted and re-trimmed in 2020One of Mercedes-Benz's first all-new designs of the post-war era, the 300 saloon debuted in 1951 and would succeed in re-establishing the Stuttgart firm in the front rank of prestige motor manufacturers, marking as it did a return to the marque's tradition of building high-performance luxury automobiles of the finest quality. The 300 featured independent suspension all round, four-wheel drum brakes, hypoid bevel final drive, dynamically balanced wheels and remote electrical control of the rear suspension ride height. Initially developing 115bhp, the 3.0-litre, overhead-camshaft, six-cylinder engine, also used in the 300 SL sports car, gained the latter's fuel injection in the restyled, longer wheelbase (and even more roomier) 300d of 1957. Other improvements included larger brakes (servo-assisted from 1954), optional power steering (on the 300d) and the adoption of three-speed automatic transmission as standard on the latter. Custom built by Mercedes-Benz's most experienced craftsmen, the 300 was luxuriously appointed and trimmed with materials of the highest quality. Fast and elegant, it was one of very few contemporary vehicles capable of carrying six passengers in comfort at sustained high speeds. It was the car of choice among West German government officials and was widely favoured by businessmen, financiers and politicians. Indeed, 'Adenauer' became its unofficial model name, after German Chancellor Dr Konrad Adenauer, its most famous customer. Between 1957 and 1962 when production ceased, Mercedes-Benz made 3,077 300d saloons, this car being one of 581 completed in 1960. Owned by the vendor since 2021, this Adenauer four-door saloon was brought to the UK in July of 2022 and is presently undergoing UK registration. The vendor advises us that the bodywork is in good order having been repainted in 2020, while the interior received new leather trim to the seats. It should be noted that this car is fitted with a Mercedes-Benz 2.2-litre six-cylinder M127 engine and a manual column-change gearbox. The brakes are currently ineffective and thus the car is sold strictly as viewed. Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1930 Austin Seven Sports Registration no. TM 6701 Chassis no. B1-1010 Engine no. M-106861Introduced in 1922, the Austin Seven chassis soon attracted the attentions of independent coachbuilders, many of whom devised sporting alternatives not offered by the factory. One such was Gordon England, who used his prior experience of aircraft manufacturing technology to design a lightweight yet rigid body that made extensive use of plywood, which was covered in fabric. Gordon England was soon supplying bodies to Austin under contract, which has to be seen as testament to their quality. This car has been re-bodied with open two-seater sports coachwork believed to be by Gordon England. One of the prior owner's favourite cars, the Seven was used regularly and taken to many shows. Sold to the current vendor at Bonhams' Beaulieu sale in September 2016 (Lot 442), it had been laid-up in storage for the preceding two years and recieved a lot of recommissioning after purchase to make it useable including a new SU carburettor and SU fuel pump in addition to general maintenance and safety checks. A new battery was fitted recently. Since its acquisition by our vendor the Seven has made numerous jaunts from its Oxford home to Prescott, Goodwood, Wales and Cornwall over the years – 'slow and steady vintage fun'. Offered with a V5C registration document.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1951 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Project Registration no. not registered Chassis no. 916578 Engine no. 926953•Aluminium replica body•Assorted engine and other parts included•Exciting and potentially most rewarding projectIts Portello factory devastated by wartime bombing, Alfa Romeo did not resume car production until 1946 with, inevitably, a pre-war carry-over, the 6C 2500, which would form the basis of the Milanese marque's post-war recovery. Last of the separate-chassis Alfas, the 2500 had debuted in 1939 and was a development of the preceding 2300. Styled in-house, but strongly influenced by Touring, the streamlined five-seater Freccia d'Oro (Golden Arrow) sports saloon was built alongside coupé and cabriolet versions featuring bodies by the likes of Pinin Farina, Touring and Ghia, plus a six/seven-seater berlina on a longer wheelbase. The engine was, of course, the latest version of Alfa's race-developed double-overhead-camshaft 'six', its 2,443cc displacement having been arrived at by enlarging the bore of the 2300. Introduced in 1934, the latter had been designed by the legendary Vittorio Jano and was later developed by Bruno Treviso, becoming the 2500 in 1939. Maximum power ranged from 90bhp in single-carburettor Sport guise to 105bhp in the triple-carb Super Sport. The Alfa Romeo tradition of building driver's cars par excellence was upheld by the 2500, for although the box-section chassis was no longer state-of-the-art, it nevertheless boasted all-independent suspension, generously-sized brakes, fast-geared steering and an unusually slick, column-mounted gearchange. The latter enabled Alfa to claim the model was a full five-seater, with three passengers accommodated in the front and two (three at a pinch) in the rear. The inevitable weight gain over its pre-war predecessor was offset by the larger engine and superior aerodynamics, the two models' top speed being an identical 97mph. For all its race-bred charm, the 6C 2500 represented Alfa Romeo's past rather than its future. Production continued until 1953, by which time a little fewer than 2,200 of these handsome automobiles had been made. This Lot consists of an original 1951 Alfa Romeo 2500 6C chassis, stamped 916578 (on dollies) with an engine block and assorted engine parts. The engine block is a Tipo 6C 2500 Sport, numbered on plate '926953', while the gearbox is numbered '946573', stamped on the casing. Presented in bare metal, the aluminium replica body is in the style of a 2900B Mille Miglia Spider, built to a high standard by Steve McFarlane's Coachbuilders. The chassis number corresponds to 1950 Alfa Romeo 6C2500 Sport. Included in the sale are assorted engine parts, including a cylinder head, although it is not known if it is the original or not. Included also are four shot-blasted brake drums; a rear axle housing with affixed Alfa Romeo plate; a manifold; and one unattached wire wheel.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1929 Morgan Super Sports Three-Wheeler Registration no. 408 LNX Chassis no. M19 Engine no. LTOW/3/H11691/5L (see text)•Present family ownership since 1999•Restoration completed 2017•JAP V-Twin engine•Electric start addedChassis number 'M19' left the Morgan factory on 30th December 1929 and was despatched to London where it was registered 'GW 73', albeit not until December 1931 according to the original logbook issued 1st March 1932. It originally had a black chassis and wheels, a green body and matching upholstery. The original engine was a JAP v-twin numbered 'LTOWC/68113' (the current unit is another 1,096cc JAP, fitted with a self-starter). The vehicle has been registered with The Morgan Three-Wheeler Club since the late 1950s; K Johnson and D Thorn (in 1971) are recorded as previous owners. The registration number changed to '408 LNX' during D Thorn's ownership. The lady vendor's late father, Frederick Perris, purchased '408 LNX' from Ray Rowcliff at Tiverton during 1999 as a dismantled project. Its restoration was to be the owner's retirement project. The Morgan was stored at Clyst St Mary for a few years, then moved to central Exeter when the vendor's father began working on it from the summer of 2000 onwards. Fred did much of the work himself but sourced some help locally when needed. The windscreen frames were re-nickeled, and it took Fred over two weeks to get the wooden body frame to fit the chassis. He also fitted the new timber dashboard, switches, speedometer and ammeter and sourced the front and rear lights. The skirt and bonnet were made by an old chap called Gordon near Dunkerswell Airfield and attached by the Clements Brothers, while the re-spray in British Racing Green was completed by a mechanic at Rydon Motors. By now in less than perfect health, Fred passed the uncompleted project onto his daughter Deborah in 2008. The Morgan was moved to Broadclyst near Exeter where all the remaining works were completed over the next ten years. Sadly, Fred passed away in August 2016 and did not get to see the Morgan running. The rebuild was completed in 2017. Following much work by Chris Smith, the Morgan is now restored. It has been upholstered to original specification, and the '408 LNX' registration retrieved with the much appreciated assistance of The Morgan Three-Wheeler Club. Beautifully presented, and a fitting memorial to the lady vendor's late father, the Morgan was running following restoration but apparently has developed a weak spark which the new owner will need to investigate. Accompanying documentation includes the aforementioned original logbook, a current V5C Registration Certificate and sundry restoration invoices. The Morgan also comes with one pair of 'Vintage' goggles; a box full of necessary tools; and a copy of the Book of the Morgan Three Wheeler.

1934 Triumph Gloria 10hp Sports Tourer Registration no. AER 492 Chassis no. 42277 Engine no. SS98306•Landmark Triumph sporting car•Developed by Donald Healey•Only four owners from new•Off the road 1968-2014•Restored in 2014Developed by the great Donald Healey, the Gloria, more than any other model, established Triumph's reputation as a builder of fine sporting cars; taking its name – it is said – from one of Selfridge's fashion models, who was photographed with the cars for publicity purposes. Standard-Triumph's managing director, Colonel Claude Holbrook, wanted to move the company away from the small cars that had underpinned its success in the 1920s, aiming to take a slice of the medium-size sporting-car market dominated by Riley. Indeed, ex-Riley employees would be instrumental in the Gloria project, designer Charles Ridley having been recruited from them, as was Donald Healey. Healey was quoted as saying: 'I was attracted by the Gloria project, which seemed better than Riley's own Nine... My first job was cleaning up the Gloria range, which was just about ready for production.' Introduced in 1933, the Gloria employed a conventional cruciform-braced chassis, under-slung at the rear and equipped with all-round 12' hydraulic brakes, on which was mounted low, streamlined coachwork of an elegance not previously associated with the marque. According to Holbrook, the Gloria was 'built to an idea... modern in conception, revealing lines that never before been achieved'. And few would deny that, once it had been 'cleaned up' by Healey, the Gloria was indeed most handsome. The four- and six-cylinder IOE engines were built by Triumph to designs by Coventry Climax, who supplied the raw castings, while the four-speed synchromesh gearbox and spiral bevel rear axle were supplied by ENV. In tuned guise fitted with twin carburettors, the 10hp 1,087cc inlet-over-exhaust four produced 46bhp at 4,600rpm; thus equipped, the Gloria Special Tourer was good for 75mph.This rare British sports car is understood to have had only four owners and had been off the road since 1968 when it was restored in 2014 at a cost of around £12,000. Related bills are on file. Described by the vendor as in good restored condition throughout, the car also comes with old logbooks; a current V5C document; a selection of photographs; instruction manuals; and a document of verification from the Pre-1940 Triumph Club.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1932 Wolseley Hornet Special Sports Registration no. YY 1713 Chassis no. 12/78 Engine no. 2733/75A•One of the finest small sporting cars of its era•Substantially restored, but some further work required•Engine rebuilt•Electrics require finishingAlthough its image in later years became ever more difficult to distinguish from that of other makes within the British Motor Corporation, in the early 1930s Wolseley occupied the front rank of British sports cars alongside MG, Riley and Frazer Nash. The single model responsible was the Wolseley Hornet. Introduced in 1930, the Hornet saloon deployed Wolseley's overhead-camshaft, six-cylinder engine in a lengthened Morris Minor chassis equipped with hydraulic brakes. Its power-to-weight ratio was exemplary among contemporary 1.3-litre cars, the smooth and flexible six pulling from walking pace to more than 60mph. The model was revised for 1932 with a shortened, chain-driven, overhead-cam engine (repositioned further forward to improve cabin space) and a four-speed 'silent third' gearbox. Increased performance was offered by the Hornet Special chassis, which came with 12' brakes and remote-control gearshift. The Special used the shortened engine equipped with twin-carburettors and an oil cooler, in which form it produced 45bhp, good enough for a top speed, depending on coachwork, of around 75mph. The Special chassis rapidly became that of choice for the multitude of independent coachbuilders already using the Hornet as the basis for a sporting two-seater. The Hornet Special was soon making its mark in competitions, one noteworthy achievement being the victory achieved by a team of three Eustace Watkins Hornets (two E W Daytonas on the Special chassis, one E W International on the standard chassis) in the 1932 relay race at Brooklands at an average speed of 77.57mph. Our vendor advises us that this Wolseley Hornet Special has been substantially restored although further recommissioning work is required, mostly to the electrical system, while the engine (rebuilt by Owlesbury Crankshaft Services) is still running in. The car drives, and both the transmission and bodywork are described as sound, and is sold strictly as seen. Finished in black with brown leather interior, this is a very pretty car with a wonderful mascot. Accompanying documentation consists of an old-style green logbook, a modern V5C, and the invoice for the aforementioned engine rebuild. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1969 Aston Martin DB6 4.2-Litre Sports Saloon Registration no. not UK registered Chassis no. DB6/4078/R Engine no. 400/4274•Delivered new in the UK•Matching engine and chassis numbers•Automatic transmission•Power assisted steering•Present ownership since 2011•Requires recommissioningConsidered by many to be the last 'real' Aston Martin, the DB6 was launched in 1965, updating the DB5. Although recognisably related to its Touring-styled DB4 ancestor, the DB6 abandoned the underlying Superleggera body structure of its predecessors in favour of a conventional steel fabrication while retaining the aluminium outer panels. Somewhat confusingly, 'Superleggera' badges continued to be applied for a time, presumably until stocks ran out. The wheelbase was now 4' (100mm) longer than before, resulting in an extensive re-style with more-raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. Opening front quarter lights made a reappearance but the major change was at the rear where a Kamm-style tail with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. The Tadek Marek-designed six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5 and remained unchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox, and for the first time there was optional power-assisted steering. Today the accomplished DB6, despite being the most evolved and practical of the original DB family, is also, somewhat paradoxically, the most affordable. Its accompanying copy guarantee form shows that this DB6 (the fourth from last 'Mark 1' produced) was sold new in the UK via Rose and Young and registered as 'YMT 7H'. An automatic-transmission model, the DB6 left the factory fitted with various items of non-standard equipment including chrome road wheels; heated rear screen; two front seats belts; 3-ear hubcaps; power operated aerial; and power assisted steering. The original colour scheme was Silver Birch with black Connolly leather trim. The current vendor purchased the DB6 from Aston Workshop in July 2011. Aston Workshop's information sheet (copy on file) lists various works carried out by them including replacing the gearbox (1998); fitting central locking (2004); engine rebuild to 4.2 litres 'unleaded' specification (2006); fitting a Monte Carlo handling kit (2006); new road wheels and electronic ignition (2006); front suspension overhaul (2006); bodywork fully refurbished (2007); power headlight conversion (2010); and routine servicing. Since acquisition the Aston has been dry stored as part of our vendor's extensive private collection in the Middle East and will require recommissioning before further use. Additional documentation consists of copies of the manufacturer's Certificate of Origin and an old-style V5C Registration Certificate.Please note that this vehicle is from outside the UK.

1936 Riley 12/4 1½-Litre Merlin Saloon Registration no. CLY 459 Chassis no. 26M4111 Engine no. M4111•Long-term single family ownership 1959 to date•Partially restored 1995-1998•Last run in October 2020•Requires recommissioningClothed in stylish bodywork by Stanley Riley, the Coventry marque's pre-war offerings were among the world's finest small-capacity sporting cars. Percy Riley's 9hp, 1,087cc, twin-camshaft four was an outstanding engine design by any standards, various versions powering Rileys from 1926 to 1957. Looking to all intents and purposes like a twin-overhead-camshaft design, the Nine's cross-flow cylinder head featured hemispherical combustion chambers and valves inclined at an included angle of 90 degrees. The twin gear-driven camshafts were mounted high in the block, operating the valves via short pushrods. This successful high-camshaft layout was retained for the new Hugh Rose-designed 1½-litre four introduced in 1935. The Falcon saloon debuted on this new 12hp chassis, which was also available with the familiar streamlined Kestrel saloon and Lynx tourer coachwork, while the following year the range was augmented by the Sprite two-seater sports and three saloons: the Adelphi and six-light Kestrel on the 112.5' long-wheelbase chassis and the all-steel Merlin on the short-wheelbase (106') frame. Other noteworthy features of the 1½-Litre included Girling rod brakes, Armstrong-Siddeley pre-selector transmission and Bijur automatic chassis lubrication. The well-liked 1½-Litre model in its various guises remained a fixture of the Riley range until the firm's take-over by Morris in 1938.This 12/4 Merlin was acquired by a member of the vendor's family (Barry Jackson) in 1959. Ownership passed to his brother Colin Jackson in 1967 and the Riley was inherited by Rollo Jackson on Colin's death 10 years ago (the car was not registered in his name as he was too young at the time). 'CLY 459' was partially restored over the period 1995 to 1998, and according to the lady vendor, was running well in October 2020. She describes the car's condition as generally good apart from an oil leak, while the bodywork and paint are reported as 'fair'. The car is offered with an old-style logbook; a V5C document; and various spares, tools and books relating to the Riley 12/4. Recommissioning will be required before the car returns to the road and thus it is sold strictly as viewed.

1937 Frazer Nash-BMW 315/2 Sports Tourer Coachwork by Whittingham & Mitchel Registration no. FMC 116 Chassis no. 66.062 Engine no. 66.062•One of only six in this style by Whittingham & Mitchel•Matching chassis and engine•Original registration•Requires re-commissioningIntroduced in 1934, the BMW 315 boasted a 1½-litre six-cylinder engine; a twin-tube chassis with transverse-leaf IFS; a synchromesh gearbox; and mechanical brakes, all of which made it one of the more advanced designs of the period. Good for around 65-70mph, the 315 was sold in the UK as the Frazer Nash-BMW Type 34, AFN Ltd having concluded an agreement with BMW for the importation of BMW motor cars, some having German bodies and others locally made coachwork. The car offered here is one of 22 BMW 315 triple-carburettor sport specification chassis imported by AFN and known as the 315/40 or 315/2. According to the BMW Historic Motor Club, 15 of these cars were right-hand drive. Production records listed in Denis Jenkinson's AFN history show that this is one of six cars bodied in aluminium as four-seat tourers by Whittingham & Mitchel, a company based in New Kings Road, Fulham and after WW2 in Staines, Middlesex. How many of these six cars survive is not known. The current owner acquired 'FMC 116' as a non-runner in 1966; little history is known prior to that other than an advertisement in Motor Sport in December 1957 claiming it 'fast to drive and pretty to look at' and 'believed the only one of its type'. Some work was done to the car over the years, and there are invoices on file from Bristol Engineering (successors to marque specialists TT Workshops) dating from 2012 and others relating to further work by Paul Rogers Engineering in December 2016, resulting in an MoT pass. The car has been unused since and will require recommissioning. The cream paintwork dates from the 1950s, as does the interior trimmed in beige vinyl, while the hood and side screens, in cream vinyl, are in usable condition. The instruments are incorrect and the hub caps missing, but otherwise the car is believed to be complete. This classic pre-war Frazer Nash-BMW represents a wonderful opportunity to own a car which, following recommissioning, will be suitable and eligible for all manner of competitions.
