1930 ALVIS SILVER EAGLE SPECIAL 'THE GREEN CAR' WINNER 1938 'IMRC GP' WITH MICHAEL MAY Estimate £60000 - 70000 Registration Number GC 5151 Chassis Number 8731 Engine Number 8307 Engine Capacity 2511 Paint Colour GREEN Trim Colour BROWN MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. There can be few cars - regardless of marque - which are known by the colour of their paintwork but one such is 'The Green Car'.Arguably the most successful competition Alvis ever, 'The Green Car' was supplied new via Henlys of London to Philip Fotheringham-Parker on March 17th 1930. Although, originally intended to be a Cross & Ellis bodied Silver Eagle SA 16.95 (2148cc) Four-Seater Sports Tourer, an accompanying copy Works Guarantee Card reveals that the sportscar was fitted with a 15.72hp (1991cc) engine prior to despatch (a change which allowed it to compete in the 2-litre rather than 3-litre class at events). The first of just six Silver Eagles to carry the 1991cc unit in period, its specification thus mimicked that of the three Alvis cars which contested the 1930 Brooklands Double Twelve Race.An amateur racing driver of some note who would go onto pilot an ERA and Maserati 4CL, Fotheringham-Parker campaigned 'The Green Car' at Brooklands during both 1931 and 1932 collecting one 1st, one 2nd and two 3rd places for his troubles. Lucky to escape an incident during one of the 1932 Mountain Circuit Races when a seized differential sent 'The Green Car' flying over the Brooklands banking, he sold the noticeably bent but surprisingly intact Alvis to Dr Bobby Beaver shortly thereafter.Claiming to have taken no longer to reach the French Riviera aboard his suitably repaired charge than the Blue Train, Dr Beaver ran the Silver Eagle at La Turbie hillclimb before returning to England. Purchased from the good doctor by its most famous custodian, Michael W.B. May, on Whitsun 1933, 'The Green Car' spent the next six years being relentlessly honed. Having had the original 'flight damaged' chassis replaced by the Alvis Service Depot in Chelsea's Jubilee Place, May set about extensively modifying / improving the car's bodywork, brakes, steering and handling.Although, the 2-litre unit had proven sufficient to win gold in a MCC High Speed Trial and scale Shelsey Walsh in 49.09 seconds, May sought more power. To this end, he turned to his friend and fellow Alvis racer Antony Powys-Lybbe (the two were paired for the 1934 and 1935 Ards International TT) who supplied him with sufficient parts to construct a larger 19.82hp (2,511cc) straight-six. Converted to dry-sump lubrication and tuned by the Brooklands-based race preparation specialist Robin Jackson, this latter unit developed some 120bhp and oodles of torque.Far more than just a Circuit Queen, 'The Green Car' participated in a wide variety of Speed Trials, Hillclimbs and Reliability Trials. Though, its performances at the likes of Donington and Brooklands were impressive, May claiming two 1st, four 2nd and two 3rd places as a result of his numerous trips to Weybridge. Credited with lapping the Outer Circuit at a highly impressive 113.97mph during a handicap race on September 24th 1938, the Silver Eagle was also present at the last ever Brooklands meeting (where it competed as number '10' in race nine).However, its finest achievement was undoubtedly winning the IMRC's 75-mile 'Grand Prix' handicap race at Phoenix Park on September 16th 1938. By posting an average speed of 88.03mph (an increase of 10mph over the previous year's victor), 'The Green Car' not only left its MG, Frazer-Nash and LERA rivals trailing but also secured the coveted Wakefield Trophy. Interestingly, Henry Birkin had only been able to average 84.09mph around Phoenix Park when he won the Eireann Cup aboard an Alfa-Romeo 8C 2300 in 1931.Revelling in its abilities as a fast road car, Michael May kept the Alvis long after he had hung up his racing goggles. Acquired by the well known Brooklands' enthus

1962 LOTUS 25 RACING SINGLE SEATER EX JIM CLARK & TREVOR TAYLOR Estimate £300000 - 400000 Registration Number N/A Chassis Number 25R5 Engine Number T.B.A. Engine Capacity 1497 Paint Colour GREEN Trim Colour N/A MOT Expiry Date N/A The following information was dictated by Cedric Selzer and Michael Strauss on the 9th. February 2007. This was for the express purpose of its inclusion of the H&H Classic Auctions Ltd. collector car Cheltenham catalogue.The Introduction It is no overstatement to say that the Lotus 25 revolutionised Formula 1 car design. It was a complete break from conventional thinking, advanced even for Colin Chapman, and it must surely be one of the best kept secrets in motor racing.Colin Chapman reckoned that the inspiration came from the steel backbone frame of the new Lotus Elan and the improved stiffness it gave. Would it work on a single seater? It all really came about from a meeting with Mike Costin from which he went home with a napkin and some sketches.Although, the Lotus 25 was not the first monocoque single-seater racing car, it was the first one to prove the efficacy of monocoque design in Grand Prix racing. Based around two D-section tubes placed back to back and held in place by fabricated front / rear bulkheads, the chassis drew further strength from the instrument panel and seat back. Though, having the engine and gearbox assembly bolted directly to it helped boost rigidity as well.This design was the brainchild of Colin Chapman and the car was arguably the grandfather of all current day Grand prix cars.The Car in Period Built towards the end of the 1962 season, Lotus 25 chassis number R5 was originally designated to be Jim Clark’s backup car for the South African Grand Prix in East London. However, with a World Championship riding on the weekend’s outcome the decision was taken to promote 25 R5 from spare to race status on account of the fact that it used a carburettor-fed Coventry Climax V8 whereas 25 R4 (Clark’s existing race mount) was fitted with a new fuel-injected unit. Shrugging aside any horsepower deficit, Jim Clark duly put 25 R5 on pole and was leading the race by a comfortable margin when a smoking engine forced him into retirement. At the time, the fault was attributed to an oil gallery plug falling out. However, in hindsight I think the problem was oil scavenge pump failure.Jim Clark drove the following races aboard 25 R5 in 1963: Pau GP 1st place Pole position Fastest lap. Imola GP 1st place Pole position Fastest lap Aintree - Pole position but Clark suffered problems during the race. He was called in and changed cars with Trevor Taylor who subsequently finished 7th. BRDC International Trophy at Silverstone - 1stThereafter 25 R5 became Trevor Taylor’s mount. He finished 6th at Monaco but at Spa two weeks later, during practice, the car suffered suspension failure due to a bolt falling out of the rear wishbone mounting and it ended up in the marshal’s post at Stavelot.What was left of the car was brought back to the works and stripped but it was decided not to rebuild the car as a new monocoque was nearing completion and time was always a priority. The monocoque, which had been split in half, was placed at the back of the workshop awaiting the scrap man. Colin Chapman gave me permission to remove the damaged monocoque and other redundant parts - see the letter in the history file from Dick Scammell - which was not unusual as a number of Team Lotus mechanics owned Lotus 7s and other home made specials and a large number of parts from the F1 cars, ended up on these cars, once the parts had reached their "sell by date". The damaged monocoque and sundry parts from R5 were removed and stored in a mews garage in Belsize Park, NW London.Cedric Selzer and Michael Strauss During 1961 Michael Strauss (an old school friend of mine from South Africa) and I bought a Lotus 7 in kit form and assembled it.

Born in Rotorua, New Zealand in 1909, she was inspired by the pioneering flights of Charles Lindberg's Atlantic crossing (1927) and the Australian Charles Kingsford Smith's Pacific crossing (1928). Determined to become a pilot, Batten moved to London in 1930 to take flying lessons, qualifying for both her private 'A' license and commercial pilot's license in 1931. That year, Amy Johnson set the record for flying from England to Australia in 20 days, and Batten embarked on a course to beat that record. In 1933 Batten made two attempts at Johnson's record in a De Havilland Gypsy Moth DH60 biplane. Both attempts failed, the first with a crash landing in Karachi, the second with a similar fate near Rome. On 8th May 1934, Batten made her third attempt, and succeeded in flying the 10,500 miles from London to Darwin in 14 days and 22 hours, smashing Johnson's record by 6 days. Her return flight to England made her the first ever pilot to fly the round trip of England-Australia-England. Back in England, Batten obtained a new aircraft, a Percival Gull monoplane, which was more technically advanced than the Gypsy Moth with brakes, landing flaps and a greater fuel range. This enabled her to set a new record for the England to Brazil route, when she flew the 5000 miles in 2 days and 13 hours, becoming the first woman pilot to do so. In 1936 she embarked on her most famous journey, the first ever attempt at flying from England to New Zealand, and completed this epic 14,000 mile trip in just 11 days and 45 minutes, with her new aircraft giving her the range to fly across the Tasman Sea. On 16th October 1936, Batten landed at Magare airport in Auckland in front of a crowd of 8000 people, and the record for the she set would remain unbroken for 44 years. Heralded as a national hero, the Maoris honoured Batten with the title 'Hine - o - te - Rangi', or 'Daughter of the Skies'. 1937 saw the last of her record attempts when she set a new record for the flight from Australia to England in 5 days and 18 hours, making her the first pilot to hold the solo record for this journey in both directions. After this voyage she retired from public view and became an increasingly reclusive figure, which along with the ruthless methods with which she had used the men in her life, earning her the epithet 'Garbo of the Skies'. Jean Batten's accomplishments are put into context by the fact that she flew without radio, and used her own navigational skills, a map, watch and simple compass to achieve her records. She was world famous during the 1930's and showered with honours including being the only non-royal to receive Brazil's Officer Of The Order Of The Southern Cross. She gained the Chevalier de Legion d'Honeur in France and a CBE in Britain. From the United States she won the Women's International Association Of Aeronautics Challenge cup three years running, and it is the third of those cups offered here. Jean Batten is further remembered for posterity in New Zealand with Auckland airport's international terminal bearing her name, and a pavilion to her achievements in Auckland's Museum of Transportation and Technology. The presenter of the cup, Lady Grace Hay-Drummond-Hay (nee Grace Marquerite Letheridge 1895-1948), was not a pilot her
