The ex-Sir Stirling Moss, Tony Brooks, Roy Salvadori, Ken Wharton1952 Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica MkII SportsRegistration no. XMG 6Chassis no. 421/200/FN176AEngine no. BS4/MK2/505*Significant in-period competition history*Rebuilt in the 2000s*Raced competitively*FIA and HTP papers Footnotes:'XMG 6' has raced extensively in the Motor Racing Legends and Royal Automobile Club Woodcote Trophy series for many seasons. It is a fully FIA and HTP compliant 1950s competition car, whose significant history is associated with legendary greats such as Sir Stirling Moss, Tony Brooks, and Roy Salvadori. Powered by a 2.0-litre six-cylinder Bristol engine, this Le Mans Replica Mark II, chassis number 'FN176', was driven by Stirling Moss at Monaco and was the second of seven MkII Le Mans Replicas built on the parallel tube chassis. It was fitted with a Bristol BS1 engine; ultra close-ratio gearbox; lightweight Marston radiator and oil cooler; Alfin brake drums with lightened back plates; and lightened bolt-on Austin wheels. The narrower chassis allowed the body to be built to minimum race regulations and was 36' wide at the cockpit with no passenger door. There was a 15½-gallon aluminium fuel tank and the spare wheel was mounted vertically in the boot with a detachable tail section.The Le Mans Replica was the most sporting model produced by Frazer Nash in its post-war era. Initially called the Competition model, it was renamed in honour of the Frazer Nash that finished 3rd overall at Le Mans in 1949. Only 29 were made between 1949 and 1954, of which only seven were the much rarer MkII version.This Le Mans Replica was completed in May 1952 and retained as a works race and development car. After completion, it competed in the Prix de Monte Carlo, a race for 2-litre sports cars held on 1st June 1952 as a support race for the Monaco Grand Prix. Stirling Moss set the fastest time in practice to put the car on pole position, but retired whilst disputing 2nd place in the race.Ken Wharton was then engaged as works driver and he finished 2nd in the car at the Jersey Road Race on 10th July 1952. 'FN176' then won the 100-mile race for sports cars up to 2 litres at Boreham on 2nd August, beating Mike Hawthorn. Wharton then raced the car at Thruxton (3rd), Shelsley Walsh (1st in class), Goodwood (3rd), Castle Coombe (3rd), and Charterhall (4th). At Goodwood in September Wharton used the car in a Formula 2 race.With a one minute start over larger cars (DB3S Aston Martins, C-Type Jaguars and a 4.1-litre Ferrari) 'FN176' finished 2nd on handicap (3rd on distance covered) in the British Empire Trophy Race on the Isle of Man on 18th June 1953. Tony Brooks then finished 2nd (2-litre class), in the Unlimited Sports Car Race supporting the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on 18th July. Roy Salvadori was at the wheel at Snetterton on 25th July and won the 2-litre sports car race as well as competing in the Formula 2 race. The car then finished 2nd at Goodwood on 28th September in a five-lap sports car race.This Le Mans Replica was rebuilt during July-August 1954 and renumbered as chassis number 'FN176A'. The chassis was lightened and fitted with ZF limited-slip differential and light alloy-rimmed wire wheels. The engine was changed for 'BS4/504' and a new aluminium-alloy body was fitted. The body was similar to a Le Mans MkII but had a different shaped nose and grille. The colour was Bristol Green. The car was raced by Ken Wharton at Aintree on 2nd October 1954 where it finished 3rd in class, then by Tony Brooks at Snetterton on 9th October finishing 4th in class.At Goodwood on Easter Monday, 11th April 1955, Brooks finished 2nd in a five-lap race for 2-litre sports cars. He then won the 2-litre class at Silverstone's International Trophy Meeting on 7th May. At Goodwood on 30th May this Le Mans Replica finished 4th (2nd in class).In mid-1955 the aluminium-alloy body was removed from the chassis and replaced with a full-width Microplas Mistral glassfibre body. The car's only race in this configuration was the Dundrod TT on 17th September 1955, where Ken Wharton was involved in a fiery multiple pile-up just after Deer's Leap on the second lap. The car was very badly damaged and taken back to Isleworth. The 1954/5 aluminium-alloy body remained at the Falcon Works, still with the Frazer Nash brass plate on the bulkhead stamped '421/200/176A'. This body was subsequently fitted to a Singer 9 chassis and retained the registration 'XMG 6'.In the 1970s, renowned engineer, Dick Crosthwaite, was building a small run of replica Frazer Nash cars using his own chassis fitted with various Nash and Bristol parts. The chassis plate and registration number 'XMG 6' were then applied to the Crosthwaite Le Mans Replica, the original Frazer Nash aluminium-alloy body of 1954 being acquired via a third party.After acquiring the original body, complete with its chassis plate and registration number, Jonathan Bradburn commissioned renowned Frazer Nash expert, Bill Roberts, to return 'FN176A' to its 1954 configuration using all the correct original parts. The restoration was completed in the early 2000s. 'XMG 6' has been racing competitively over the last few seasons.Frazer Nash's Le Mans Replica is arguably the most highly regarded of all post-war cycle-mudguard sports-racing cars, and this supremely versatile model is eligible for all the most prestigious historic motor sports events: Monaco, Mile, Miglia, Targa Florio, Goodwood, etc. Only infrequently are they offered for public sale, which makes 'FN176A' - associated with some of the biggest names in the history of British motor sport - a rare opportunity for the discerning collector or historic racing competitor.

The ex-Mike Spence, Tony Settember, John Campbell-Jones, Jack Fairman, works1961 Emeryson 1.5-Litre Formula 1 Single-seaterChassis no. 1004*In-period Formula 1 World Championship history*First raced by Écurie National Belge*Restored in the 1990s*Extensively rebuilt in 2017*Goodwood Revival and Grand Prix de Monaco Historique entrantFootnotes:'Paul Emery was one of only two men to make cars which complied with each of the first four World Championship formulae, 1950-65. The other was Enzo Ferrari, but Emery not only designed and built his cars himself, he frequently drove them.' – David Hodges, A-Z of Formula Racing Cars 1945-1990. Paul Emery built a number of Emeryson front-wheel-drive 500cc Formula 3 cars in the early 1950s and his first Formula 2/Formula 1 design in 1953. With help and funding from a consortium that included former Cooper works driver Alan Brown, Emeryson Cars Ltd went on to build a number of Formula Junior and Formula 1 cars, commencing in 1960. In F1 specification, the Emeryson featured the Coventry Climax FPF MkII four-cylinder engine and a Colotti gearbox. The Belgian team Écurie National Belge took advantage of Emery's new Formula 1 design, running a team of three Maserati-engined cars for the 1961 season to be driven by Lucian Bianchi, André Pilette and Willy Mairesse. Initial results were disappointing and ENB soon switched to Lotus 18s, though the Emerysons continued to be entered in various races. Their only results of significance were 4th in the Brussels Grand Prix on 9th April (Bianchi) and 11th in the Syracuse GP on 25th April (Mairesse).During 1961, Hugh Powell, a wealthy American teenager, bought a controlling interest in Emeryson and rebuilt the ex-ENB cars with Coventry Climax engines. Paul Emery continued as designer but quit at the end of 1962. The car offered here, chassis number '1004', enjoyed some success in late 1961, providing future Team Lotus and BRM works driver Mike Spence with his Formula I debut at the (non-Championship) Solitude Grand Prix in July. Spence recorded a DNF, as did Jack Fairman at the Oulton Park Gold Cup in September, but in October '1004' made its only trip to the podium when Spence finished 2nd in the Lewis-Evans Trophy at Brands Hatch. During 1962, the works F1 Emerysons were driven by Powell's guardian, Tony Settember, and John Campbell-Jones. Season highlights were Settember's 11th place in the British Grand Prix at Aintree and Campbell-Jones's 5th in the Brussels GP, both of which were achieved by '1004'. Other 1962 results are as follows:23rd April, Goodwood, Lavant Cup, Tony Settember, DNF23rd April, Goodwood, Glover Trophy, Tony Settember, 8th28th April, Aintree, Aintree 200, Tony Settember, 8th12th May, Silverstone International Trophy, Tony Settember, 14th20th May, Posillipo GP di Napoli, Tony Settember, 9th11th June, Crystal Palace, CP Trophy, Tony Settember, 4th1st September, Oulton Park Gold Cup, Tony Settember, DNF16th September, Monza, Italian Grand Prix, Tony Settember, DNFFor 1963 the team continued under Powell's direction, although the new cars were entered as Scirocco and were fitted with BRM V8 engines. Scirocco raced throughout the next two F1 seasons, latterly as Équipe Scirocco Belge, before disappearing at the end of 1964. Sold by Settember in 1963 to Eric Liddell, '1004' is the sole surviving Emeryson Formula 1 car and owes its existence in no small measure to Peter Morley, who bought it in 1992 and restored it to the specification in which it was driven by Settember and Campbell-Jones. The restored Emeryson was entered at the first Goodwood Revival meeting in 1998, driven by Paul Osborn, and the following year was sold to the immediately preceding owner. Carrying number '31', as used by Jack Fairman in 1961, he finished four places behind Sir Stirling Moss at the 2000 Monaco Grand Prix Historique and would go on to compete in this most prestigious historic Formula 1 event on a further six occasions. Over the following 16 seasons, the Emeryson was raced extensively with the HSCC, achieving numerous class wins, and with the HGPCA at Goodwood, Donington Park, Silverstone and various Continental European venues. The current vendor purchased '1004' at a UK auction in February 2017 and immediately despatched the car to highly respected specialist restorers Cars International Service Ltd for a complete rebuild. Works carried out included strengthening and crack testing the chassis; fabricating new suspension; an engine overhaul; rewiring the electrics; and repainting the chassis and bodywork in yellow, Belgium's national racing colour. Close to £90,000 was spent on the rebuild and the related invoices are on file together with a dynamometer printout. The car also comes with a spares package to include two sets of tyres and assorted gear ratios.The restoration had been commissioned with the 2018 Monaco Historique in mind, and the Emeryson duly performed faultlessly, fulfilling the vendor's dream of competing at this iconic circuit in historic motor sport's most prestigious event. Since then the car has been kept garaged, unused, and is reported to be in excellent condition. A unique piece of Grand Prix history, this Emeryson will surely continue to be welcome at all the best venues. Offered in ready-to-race condition, it comes with a fresh FIA/MSA Historic Technical Passport valid until the end of 2025.We are also delighted to confirm that the Emeryson has been invited to participate at next year's 'Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, 2021.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

2008 Bentley Azure ConvertibleRegistration no. BA08 JCBChassis no. SCBDC48H29CH13767*Two owners*Present ownership since January 2013*23,000 miles from new*Bentley service historyFootnotes:Bentley Motors' owners since 1998, Volkswagen kept the existing Continental R-based Azure convertible in production until 2003 but delayed introducing its successor for a further three years. Production of the new Azure thus began for the 2006 model year. On this occasion the Azure was based on the more modern Arnage platform. The latter had been built in two forms: Green Label (with BMW power) and Red Label with the long-running Rolls-Royce/Bentley 6.75-litre pushrod V8. A legacy of the Rolls-Royce/Bentley takeover battle with BMW, Volkswagen's use of a rival manufacturer's engines could only be a temporary measure, and so future models would use the 'old' Bentley V8, suitably up-rated with twin turbochargers for the new Azure convertible. As well as the twin turbochargers, replacing the single unit used previously, this venerable engine was extensively reworked, Bentley claiming that more than half the parts were new. In this form it produced 450bhp and a mighty 645lb/ft of torque, while a new ZF six-speed automatic transmission fed this abundance of power to the rear wheels. Bentley claimed a 0-60mph (0-97km/h) acceleration time of 5.6 seconds and a top speed of 168mph (270 km/h), slightly faster than the previous model and still excellent for a vehicle of its size and weight. 'In a word, wonderful,' was how Autocar magazine greeted the new Azure, which was also reckoned 'notably better for the new gearbox. Overall, it's amazing how much difference a decent auto 'box can make.'Only its second owner in 12 years, the current vendor bought this Azure from Bentley Cardiff on 8th January 2013, since when all servicing has been undertaken by Bentley Sevenoaks and more recently by Bentley Bristol (bills on file). In September 2016 this car's fine quality was recognised at the Windsor Castle Concours of Elegance with the award of the Bentley Trophy (included in the sale). It should be noted that the odometer was changed at 4,000 miles and that the current odometer reading is 19,000 miles, making the distance travelled since new some 23,000 miles. Finished in Silver Lake with off-white leather interior, this immaculate Azure Convertible is offered with current MoT, a V5C Registration Certificate, and the aforementioned service history.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1933 Riley 9hp 'Brooklands Special'Registration no. UJ 2482Chassis no. 6023934Engine no. 49330•Based on a Riley Nine chassis•Professionally restored 2013/2014 by Brooklands EngineCraft•Brooklands BodyCraft aluminium coachwork•VSCC logbook Footnotes:'The designs of the Nine were completed in 1925 and after a thorough road-testing programme which covered England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the Alps, the car was announced to the world. Within a year, it had earned the reputation 'The Wonder car'.' – David G Styles, Riley: As Old As The Industry.First introduced in 1926, Percy Riley's 9hp, 1,087cc, twin-camshaft four was an outstanding engine design by any standards, various versions powering Rileys until 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. Right from the start it was obvious that the 9hp Riley engine possessed enormous potential as a competition unit, and at Brooklands J G Parry-Thomas and Reid Railton were the first to demonstrate just how good it was. Their success in 1,100cc class racing at Brooklands led to the introduction of a production version, the Speed Model, which soon became known as the Brooklands Nine. Numerous World Speed Records and famous class victories at Brooklands, Shelsley Walsh, the RAC Tourist Trophy, and Le Mans followed, while outright wins were secured at the Ulster TT and the JCC 1,000 Miles Race at Brooklands in 1932. Six-cylinder Brooklands and MPH models followed, and from these Riley developed the next of its 9hp four-cylinder sports cars: the Imp. This Riley 'Brooklands Special' was restored mechanically (chassis, engine, transmission, electrics, etc) in 2013/2014 by pre-war Riley specialists. The car was fitted with an aluminium two-seater body built by Brooklands BodyCraft. A VSCC logbook was issued in 2014, and the following year the Riley competed in the Brooklands Double Twelve and was an entrant in the Circuit des Remparts concours in Angoulême. A relatively affordable entry into VSCC competitions, this expertly well-executed Riley 'Brooklands Special' is offered with V5C Registration Certificate. Ready to be used and enjoyed.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from The Chester Collection, One of only 22 right-hand drive examples1969 Ferrari 365 GTCCoachwork by PininfarinaRegistration no. EGU 132HChassis no. 12747*One of only 150 Ferrari 365 GTCs built*Delivered new to Crepaldi Automobili in Italy*Subsequent ownership in Canada and the USA*Professionally restored in the UK by Colin Clarke circa 1990/1991Footnotes:'Pininfarina clothed it all in a beautifully refined bodyshell employing the nose lines of the 500 Superfast and the tail treatment of the contemporary 275 GTS. It was built at Grugliasco by Pininfarina themselves...' - Hans Tanner & Doug Nye, 'Ferrari', 1984. In essence a closed version of the 275 GTS, the 330 GTC – immediate forerunner of the 365 GTC - was first shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1966. Beneath the understated Pininfarina coachwork there was the 4.0-litre version of Ferrari's familiar Colombo-designed two-cam 60-degree V12 (as used in the 330GT 2+2) mated to a five-speed all-synchromesh transaxle. The chassis was of relatively short wheelbase (2,400mm) and the suspension independent all round by wishbones and coil springs. Naturally, there were disc brakes on all four wheels. Introduced late in 1968 as a replacement for the 330 GTC and given its first public airing at Geneva in March 1969, the 365 GTC was virtually identical in appearance apart from engine cooling vents relocated in the bonnet, a feature it shared with last of the 330s. Installing an 81mm-bore 4.4-litre V12 in place of the 300 GTC's 4.0-litre unit boosted mid-range torque and flexibility while maximum power was raised to 320bhp at 6,600rpm; acceleration improved markedly and the luxury coupés top speed increased to over 150mph. Less obvious to the eye were the refinements made to the drive-train that achieved a marked reduction in cabin noise, a sign that Ferrari understood that 365 GTC customers valued comfort as well as high performance. A sumptuous leather-trimmed interior, electric windows, and heated rear screen were standard equipment, while air conditioning could be ordered as an option. Like so many European sports cars, the 365 GTC (and convertible 365 GTS) would fall victim to increasingly stringent US safety and emissions legislation, production ceasing after less than one year during which time around 150 GTC and 20 GTS models left the factory, of which only 22 were right-hand drive. The right-hand drive example offered here was delivered new to the official Ferrari dealer Crepaldi Automobili in Milan finished in Azzurro Metallizzato with Nero Connolly hide interior. It may have been intended for a customer in South Africa, hence the right-hand drive configuration and km/h speedometer (both original features). The first owner is not known. In 1971 the Ferrari was sold to Ron Selig, a resident of Montreal, Canada, and in 1986 was sold by him to David C Nelson of Akron, Ohio. Two years later, in 1988, the car was sold to Sean Quigley in the UK and restored for him by Colin Clarke circa 1990/1991, the colour scheme being changed to dark grey metallic with light grey interior. In 2004 the Ferrari was sold to Andrew Seward in the UK, who had the car re-commissioned by Ferrari expert Neil Corns and re-trimmed in red. The car then went on to win the Paul Baber Trophy at the Ferrari Club Concours at Boughton House in 2005. Meticulously maintained thereafter, it has been re-trimmed again, on this last occasion in black, and fitted with period-correct air conditioning.The current vendor purchased the Ferrari towards the end of 2018, since when it has been carefully stored at a professional facility and checked over regularly by his own mechanic. Accompanying documentation consists of restoration invoices, a Massini Report, and a V5C Registration Certificate. Strikingly handsome, startlingly fast and much under-rated, this magnificent Ferrari Gran Turismo appears at auction only infrequently, making this rare right-hand drive car an opportunity not to be missed.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

WB2565*2007 Peking-Paris Rally Gold Medal winner*Matching engine*Known ownership history*Present ownership since 2000*Extensively campaigned worldwide*Accompanied by an extensive selection of spares and rally adaptationsFootnotes:With characteristic humility 'W O' was constantly amazed by the enthusiasm of later generations for the products of Bentley Motors Limited, and it is testimony to the soundness of his engineering design skills that so many of his products have survived. From the humblest of beginnings in a mews garage off Baker Street, London in 1919 the Bentley rapidly achieved fame as an exciting fast touring car, well able to compete with the best of European and American sports cars in the tough world of motor sport in the 1920s. Bentley's domination at Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930 is legendary, and one can only admire the Herculean efforts of such giants as Woolf Barnato, Jack Dunfee, Tim Birkin and Sammy Davis, consistently wrestling the British Racing Green sports cars to victory. W O Bentley proudly unveiled the new 3-litre car bearing his name on Stand 126 at the 1919 Olympia Motor Exhibition, the prototype engine having fired up for the first time just a few weeks earlier. Bentley's four-cylinder 'fixed head' engine incorporated a single overhead camshaft, four-valves per cylinder, and a bore/stroke of 80x149mm. Twin ML magnetos provided the ignition and power was transmitted via a four-speed gearbox with right-hand change. The pressed-steel chassis started off with a wheelbase of 9' 9½', then adopted dimensions of 10' 10' ('Standard Long') in 1923, the shorter frame being reserved for the TT Replica and subsequent Speed Model. Rear wheel brakes only were employed up to 1924 when four-wheel Perrot-type brakes were introduced.In only mildly developed form, this was the model that was to become a legend in motor racing history and which, with its leather-strapped bonnet, classical radiator design and British Racing Green livery, has become the archetypal Vintage sports car. Early success in the 1922 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, when Bentleys finished second, fourth, and fifth to take the Team Prize, led to the introduction of the TT Replica (later known as the Speed Model) on the existing 9' 9½' wheelbase, short standard chassis. However, by the middle of the decade the 3-Litre's competitiveness was on the wane and this, together with the fact that too many customers had been tempted to fit unsuitably heavy coachwork to the excellent 3-Litre chassis, led to the introduction in 1926 of a larger car: the 6½-Litre. Known as the 'Silent Six', the latter perpetuated the 3-Litre's mechanical theme but with greatly increased refinement. Although the 6½-Litre had been conceived as a touring car to compete with Rolls-Royce's New Phantom, in Speed Six form it proved admirably suited to competition: in 1929 Barnato/Birkin's Speed Six won the Le Mans 24 Hour Race ahead of a trio of 4½-Litre Bentleys, while Barnato/Kidston repeated the feat in the following year's Grand Prix d'Endurance at the Sarthe circuit ahead of similarly-mounted Clement/Watney. Small wonder then, that the fast yet refined 6½-Litre Speed Six was W O Bentley's favourite car. The 6½-Litre was produced for four years, during which time 544 chassis were completed, the standard/Speed Six split being 362/182. According to Dr Clare Hay's authoritative work, Bentley: The Vintage Years, this particular 6½-Litre, registration number 'YP 7937', is one of 97 erected on the ST2 (12') standard chassis; most (242) of the standard cars being built on the longer (12' 6') frame. Chassis number 'WB2565' was completed in August 1926 and bodied as a saloon by the obscure coachbuilder, Surbiton Bodies. The car was supplied via Jack Withers & Co of North London and the first owner was one Ulrich Charles Pusinelli of London. Early in its life 'YP 7937' was one of a group of Bentleys photographed on the seafront at Cannes (copy on file). The car continued to be serviced by Bentley until the outbreak of war, the last entry in the record (copy on file) being dated 2nd March 1939. By this time 'YP 7937' belonged to J O Kastner-Walmsley (its fourth owner), the second and third owners being T Miller Jones and S K Troman respectively.The next three known owners are, in order: H A Booth (1968); Paul Bentley (1972); and J C Wardell (1976). The Vanden Plas-style 'Le Mans' tourer body was fitted in 1972, and the car was in this form when it appeared in Clarendon's advertisement in Thoroughbred & Classic Cars magazine's June 1977 edition. Clarendon described the car as a 'Vanden Plas type 4-seater. Open Tourer coachwork, magnificently well finished. Tonneau and weather gear supplied. The overall appearance and performance of this vehicle are outstanding'. 'YP 7937' was next owned by David Findlay (1986) followed by Spencer Flack (1989-2000) and from then onwards by the current vendor, a prominent Swiss private collector. Restored in 1988, the Bentley is finished in British Racing Green with matching upholstery, while the original engine ('WB2562') has been enlarged to 8 litres. Figures quoted for this engine are a maximum output of 240bhp at 4,550rpm and 334lb/ft of torque at 2,950 revs, while the car is said to have a top speed in excess of 110mph. 'YP 7937' has been campaigned extensively while in the vendor's care, taking part in some of the toughest historic motoring events worldwide. These include the Peking to Paris Rally in 2007 (class winner, VSCC Award, Gold Medal); Carrera Sudamericana (2006); Vintage Bentley Tour of South Africa (2001 and 2006); and the New Zealand Vintage Tour (2002). It has also participated in the Liège-Rome Rally; Grand Prix de Tunis; Gran Premio Nuvolari; Rallye des Alpes; Ennstal Classic; Copperstate 1000; and the California Mille. The Bentley's most recent outing was at the Rotary Rally in September 2019. 'YP 7937' comes with a comprehensive history file, which among other items includes photographs of HRH Prince Charles driving it at Brands Hatch.The car is accompanied by numerous accessories designed and built with endurance rallying in mind, including but not limited to: tool cases built for the running boards; secondary water radiator and fans; custom made seats; desert air filters; and a customised bonnet. A full list of the adaptations and spare parts is available on request. In addition, the car is fitted with a 140-litre safety fuel tank. As legend has it, Ettore Bugatti once dismissed W O Bentley's products as 'the world's fastest lorries', but their inherent robustness made them ideally suited to the arduous long-distance events of their era. This car's exceptional rallying career in the hands of its current enthusiast owner amply demonstrates that W O got it absolutely right.
