1929 Rolls-Royce 20/25 open tourer, coachwork by Barker (see text) Registration JSU 199, chassis No. GXO87, engine No. EE6A. This splendid early 20/25 was first commissioned on 21st November 1929 with the chassis GVO79 which was a 20hp chassis from stores which was updated by the factory to the latest 20/25 specification including being converted from small to large bore cylinders and the chassis plates were changed to GXO87-being in the first one hundred 20/25 model series built. The chassis was sold to Lt. Col. James of Penzance, Cornwall who commissioned Barker & Co coach builders to construct a torpedo open tourer body for it. Like so many Pre -War Rolls-Royce's the car ended up in America in the 1960s and the body was modified to a shooting brake utilising the original Barker front end. Upon its return to England in 1987 it was bought as a restoration project and put back to its original Barker open tourer specification utilising as much of the original body as possible. It is believed that £93,000 was spent in total on the restoration the quality of which is still evident today! The stylish blue open tourer coachwork has very attractive lines which suits the chassis perfectly. It exemplifies all the qualities that Henry Royce envisaged for a light bodied 20/25 with light steering, smooth gearbox and sprightly performance unhindered by heavy formal coachwork. The current owner and her late husband have participated in numerous rally's in France in the car and have maintained it in excellent overall condition. It has blue leather upholstery, folding rear picnic table, removable side screens and Barker Patent dipping headlights. It also has a removable touring trunk and various tools . It is supplied with a V5 and large history file. It is a splendid example of the marque. (Subject to 12% buyers premium inclusive of VAT).

1924 Bentley 3 Litre Speed Model VDP TourerReg. no. UF 384Chassis no. 755Engine no. 633Walter Owen Bentley had an extensive background in mechanical engineering but made his first steps in the motor car industry at the age of 24 in 1912, when he became the British agent for the French DFP concern. Bentley’s DFPs made quite an impression after, having found the standard performance unsatisfactory, he tuned the engines for higher output, and DFPs so modified competed convincingly in motorsports events. During the Great War, he put these engine-building skills to good use, providing engines for the famous Sopwith Camel fighter planes.Post-war, Bentley decided to start producing his own cars, and Bentley Motors Limited was duly founded on 18th of January 1919 – the same date as the start of the Paris Peace Conference that brought the war to a final end. Development work on the first model proceeded quickly; in October, a chassis was displayed, with a mock-up engine, at the London Motor Show. By December, the engine was running. And what an engine it was. Developed under the leadership of wartime fighter pilot Clive Gallop, its capacity of 3 litres may have seemed small compared to some of the giant engines of the pre-war period, but innovative features – overhead camshaft, dry sump lubrication, twin carburettors and twin magnetos, and perhaps most interestingly, four valves per cylinder – meant it produced a healthy 70bhp in standard form, and prodigious torque. The Speed Model, meanwhile, was more powerful still, with cars in this state of tune capable of 90mph.Despite the car’s rapid initial construction, further development took longer than anticipated and the car did not go on sale until September 1921. From then onwards, rolling chassis' were despatched from the Cricklewood factory to the buyers’ choice of coachbuilders. The 3-litre instantly proved a hit with the racing drivers of the day; after its first race at the 1922 Indianapolis 500, the car also won Le Mans in 1924 and 1927 and many other races besides, the colourful characters who drove them creating the legend of the ‘Bentley Boys’. In contrast to other sporting cars of the period – the Bugattis, for example – the Bentley was much less-highly strung, with every component being over-engineered and massively strong. This meant the cars were highly robust and extremely capable as both sporting machines and touring cars.This 1924 3-litre Speed Model is a thoroughly charming example that has clearly benefitted from plenty of loving use. According to Clare Hay in ‘Bentley – the Vintage Years’, this car was originally delivered to coachbuilder Harrington for a four-seater sports body; this is backed up by information on file that records the car’s history 1927-1940. Later the car seems to have been converted to a shooting brake – not an uncommon fate for sturdy vintage cars. In the 1970s, the car was fully restored by John Walker and fitted with the current Vanden Plas-style body – a style which is regarded by many as one of the most attractive on these cars. The car was then used extensively, with photographs available of it competing at various VSCC and Bentley Drivers’ Club races in the early 1980s.The current custodians purchased the car from John Walker’s son in 2009, and since then it has been frequently exercised and kept in on-the-button order. Thoroughly recommissioned after purchase, it was rewired, incorporating flashing indicators, and the brake shoes were relined. Then the sunnier climes of the continent beckoned; it has since been driven to Spain, Portugal, France and Italy on touring holidays. Further maintenance has included four new wheels, a new tonneau, a new water pump and prop shaft, and the fitment of a petrol tank from a 4 ½ litre. The cone clutch has also had attention. This car is said to drive superbly, with lovely steering, and certainly sounded and went well on the occasion of our visit to the vendor. With its record of consistent care and use during the current ownership, this car inspires confidence – an extremely important attribute for a near-century-old vehicle. In addition, it wears a charming patina that only decades of use can provide. This on-the-button Bentley is ready for further touring. Spares consist of two magnetos plus the old prop shaft, while there are also Bentley tools and a hub puller. Documentation includes some early history as mentioned above, plus maintenance and driving records from the current ownership, and 15 old MOTs. The car also comes with a current V5C.
