One of only two Vanden Plas Allweather Tourers built as a special-order for His Highness the Jam Sahib of Nawanagar, an important 'Maharaja' car. Lanchester displayed an impressive array of cars at the Olympia Motor Show in October 1930. However, just weeks later, financial troubles culminated in the company's bank calling in its overdraft of £38,000 forcing immediate liquidation of the company's assets. A buyer was sought by the bank and, given the company's proximity to BSA's Armourer Mills in Sparkbrook, a sale to BSA seemed a perfect fit. The acquisition was completed in January 1931 for just £26,000, significantly lower than the value of the firms assets. However, despite promises to the contrary, BSA aggressively asset-stripped the Lanchester factory and moved production to Sandy Lane in Coventry, the home of Daimler.George Lanchester's services were retained as a Senior Designer, with Frank becoming the Sales Director and the reborn company's first new model, the Lanchester Eighteen, was designed by George but, in reality, was a version of the Daimler Light Twenty, as was to be the case with the following models.Lanchesters customers were particularly loyal and werent impressed with, what we would now call, 'badge engineering'. One fiercely loyal customer was His Highness the Maharajah Ranjitsinhji, the Jam Sahib of Nawanagar (known to his friends as Ranji). Ranji fell in love with the Lanchester marque when he went to play cricket in India in the early 1900s, during the days of the British Raj. He befriended Lanchester brothers Frederick and George, who were the first to manufacture an all-British car in 1896, and shared their enthusiasm for this new form of transport. He bought his first Lanchester, a 9kW two-cylinder model, in 1904 and after that, whenever a new model was introduced, at least one was shipped to India to add to his collection.We have no record of Ranji's expanding fleet of Lanchesters (no doubt there will be one somewhere) apart from #3462, a 1936 Daimler V-type chassis bodied by Vanden Plas and 'dressed' as a Lanchester which was gifted to Ranji's great nephew, Maharaja Durgapratapsinh, as an 18th birthday present in 1964 and which came up for auction in New Zealand in 2010.The arrival of World War II changed everything, and Lanchester look-alike Daimlers were no longer steaming their way across the Indian Ocean. However, in 1946, Ranji felt the need to add a couple of more cars to his fleet. The war-hardened management at Daimler were not really in the mood to start painting cars in Cambridge Blue (all Ranji's cars were painted in that colour as thats where he went to University) and have their diminished number of time-served craftsmen spend time creating special grilles etc. to turn their DE 27s into a Lanchester model that never existed but, inevitably, they capitulated as long as Ranji ordered four.Four DE 27, 4-litre, six-cylinder Daimlers (coded LE27) were duly commissioned with two of them, chassis numbers #51049 and #51050, being bodied by Vanden Plas as Allweathers (Body nos. 4031 and 4032) and LE27, #51050, is the car we are privileged to be able to offer today.We now move forward over 40 years, when it appears that #51050 returned to the UK and was first registered as KYM 544 on 20th September 1988. It was subsequently purchased by Gerry Wheeler, our vendor's late father, on 1st February 2008 and there is a photograph within the history file of the car on a trailer, finished in cream and red, and looking a bit sorry for itself. There followed a gentle restoration to Gerrys particularly high standards over several years, returning the car to top form prior to it joining the family's fleet of very impressively-presented vintage and PVT cars, available for special occasions, birthdays, proms, and weddings etc.As you can see from our images, the Lanchester has been returned to Cambridge Blue with Royal Blue wings and detailing and a matching soft-top. The interior has been fully retrimmed and re-upholstered in a delightful pastel blue leather, and is now Maharajah quality. With a fleet of around 20 early cars, and having fully restored it, all maintenance and servicing requirements were carried out in-house.The car is accompanied by its current V5C, old insurance and DVLA documents, a variety of MOTs with the oldest from 1988, wiring diagrams, correspondence and a number of photographs.We understand that #51050's LE27 Allweather twin sister, #51049, was shipped to the USA in the 1990s and, assuming it still survives, it would be wonderful to reunite them at Pebble Beach one day. We invite and encourage your inspection of this rather special Maharajah car to appreciate the quality on offer.Specification Make: LANCHESTER Model: LE27 Year: 1945 Chassis Number: 51050 Registration Number: KYM 544 Transmission: pre selector Engine Number: 1254778 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Make: RHD Interior Colour: Pastel Blue leatherClick here for more details and images
Handsome T2, extensively restored in the past and on offer at No Reserve. Outwardly distinguishable from the Silver Shadow only by virtue of its different radiator and winged 'B' mascot, the T-Series Bentley was introduced alongside its Rolls-Royce sibling in 1965. Mechanically identical, the duo represented a complete break from tradition, being the first of the Crewe factory's models to employ unitary construction. Originally of 6,230cc, the pushrod V8 engine grew to 6,750cc in 1970 and provided identical power in either application. Introduced in 1977 alongside the Shadow II, the T2 gained split-level air-conditioning, rack and pinion steering, revised dashboard and a chin spoiler. Bentley was seen as very much the 'junior' marque at this time - its resurgence in the form of the Mulsanne Turbo was still some five years away - and sold in correspondingly limited numbers. By the time production ceased in 1980, only 568 Bentley T2s had found customers compared with over 10,500 Rolls-Royce Shadow IIs, and today this arguably more handsome car is increasingly sought after.Dating from 1978, this attractive example is finished in Caribbean Blue, a summer-fresh colour that somehow reflects the more lighthearted, sporting nature of the Bentley compared to its more serious R-R sibling in darker, diplomatic colours. The T2's interior is unusual in that, whilst the majority of the car is classically trimmed in dark blue leather, the rear seat was specified in Velour of a similar hue which apparently was preferred by the first owner's wife as it offered a bit more 'grip' when she was in the back seat and he was driving the car with some alacrity.The car presents well which is not surprising considering that it was extensively restored, including a bare-metal respray, during 2017/18 by NRT Motors with receipts on file to the value of £38,904. The paintwork remains in generally very good condition with a tiny amount of surface rust on the A-pillar and scuttle which would benefit from some attention, but otherwise we understand that it runs and drives without fault.It's on offer from a prominent UK Bentley Collection having been a stablemate to no less than three ex-works vintage Bentleys, and appears to have always been well-maintained, with the most recent service in May 2021 (£1,445) and only a few miles since. It's accompanied by an extensive history file which contains a photographic record of the restoration, MOTs, registration documents and the usual manuals etc.T2 Bentleys and Shadow IIs from the late 1970s offer a really good balance between top of the range luxury, manageable proportions and nimble handling compared to the 'ocean liners' that followed in the 1980s, and this good looking T2, very sensibly guided and on offer at No Reserve, is worthy of your consideration.Specification Make: BENTLEY Model: T2 Year: 1978 Chassis Number: SBH33098 Registration Number: XNG480S Transmission: auto Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 53516 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Blue leather front, blue cloth rearClick here for more details and images
