1947 Dodge Power Wagon 4x4 Flat Bed Truck Registration no. SXS 130 Chassis no. 83902983•Imported from Montana, USA in 2021•Previous single-family ownership•3.8-litre six-cylinder petrol engine•An older restoration•Recent braking system overhaulIntroduced in 1946 as the very first 4x4 truck produced for the civilian market, the Power Wagon was mechanically derived from Dodge's 1942-1945 セ-ton WC series trucks. Used in WW2 as a 'go anywhere' truck and command and control vehicle, the WC was extremely popular with returning GIs. Dodge recognised the potential, and indeed demand, for a civilian four-wheel drive truck and manufacture commenced in March 1946. Known as the WDX General Purpose truck: the 'W' was a continuation of the 1941-1947 model series while 'D' stood for 1-ton and 'X' indicated four-wheel drive. Registered as 1947, this Dodge Power Wagon was later identified by Steve Arndt of Vintage Power Wagons in Fairfield, Iowa to be a first series (1945-47) WDX Model 1-ton Civilian Power Wagon. On file is a dating letter from the American Auto Club UK confirming the year of manufacture as 1947 and the power unit as a 230ci (3,770cc) six-cylinder petrol engine. Distinguishing features include four rectangular stake pockets on each side of the rear bed for a hard cover, and a round speedometer with rectangular gauges either side that have the instrument lettering on the glass instead of the face of the gauges. Imported by the present owner from Montana in 2021, having had single family ownership from new, this Long Box Power Wagon was restored some 30 years ago and more recently has benefited from a new battery and all new brake wheel cylinders and shoes from Vintage Power Wagons. Although not driven extensively in its current ownership, the truck performed well when tested on private land. We are advised that the 94bhp sidevalve six runs well, testifying to the toughness and longevity required by the municipal authorities, fire departments, ranchers, farmers and others who bought these Dodge 4x4 trucks. Offered with a handbook and V5C Registration Certificate.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
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.
