1923 Crossley 19.6hp Two-seater-plus-DickeyRegistration no. SV 9311Chassis no. 16712Odometer reading: tbcMOT: Exempt*One of only two of its type in the UK*Imported from Australia in 1990*Restored in the 1990s*Present ownership since 2012*Winner of the VSCC's Pomeroy Edwardian Trophy (for non-FWB cars)This Crossley's lightweight chassis carries a two-seat-plus-dickey sports body, the latter very rare as most were four-seater types. The Crossley was re-imported from Australia in 1990 and restored; first registered here in 2002, it is one of only two of its type in this country. The restoration was carried out by Nigel Parrot (N P Veteran Engineering). Engine work (including an increase in compression ratio) cost £5,793, while a new crown wheel/pinion and bearings cost a further £1,200. Other works carried out include rebuilding the radiator and fitting a new Autovac, interior upholstery, hood, tonneau cover, and clutch lining, the latter in 2014. An alternator has been fitted but the original Rotax dynamo (in working order) comes with the car. In the present ownership since 2012, the Crossley was driven to Nice in the South of France for a holiday in 2017 without any problems, winning overall the Concours d'Élégance at St Brieuc while there. It has also competed in the VSCC's Goodwood Sprint and is a winner of the prestigious Pomeroy Edwardian Trophy for non-FWB cars. We are advised by the private vendor that the car is in generally very good condition, the engine displaying excellent oil pressure (15psi hot or cold). Sold only because the owner is downsizing his collection, this delightful and rare early Vintage sports car comes with a good file of history containing sundry restoration bills, copies of marque-related literature, all MoTs up to 2014, etc. Stored in recent years, the car will require re-commissioning before further use.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 58/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1972 Austin Vanden Plas 1300Registration no. EOX 333LChassis no. VAS233253MOdometer reading: 52,768 MOT: 26/04/2022*Collectible top-of-the-range Vanden Plas model*Automatic transmission*Low mileageOne of the most illustrious of Britain's coachbuilders, chiefly remembered for its sublime Vintage-era Bentleys, the firm of Vanden Plas was acquired by BMC in 1946 and reinvented as a marque in its own right some years later. In the 1960s and '70s the name was applied to top-of-the-range versions of Austin/Morris models, most notably the front-wheel drive 1100/1300. Vanden Plas in Kingsbury, Northwest London re-equipped the car with the kind of luxurious interior long associated with the firm, using plentiful wood veneer interior trim and leather upholstery, and fitted a distinctive grille and their own badging. The engine specified was the same twin-carburettor unit fitted to the MG 1100/1300, the 1.3-litre 65bhp version being good enough for a top speed of 90mph. The optional automatic transmission was impressive for a small car, boasting four speeds rather than the three commonly found in larger models, though examples so equipped came with a slightly less powerful (60bhp) single-carburettor engine. Today the Vanden Plas is by far the most collectible of the 1100/1300 family and is highly sought after. The car is finished in harvest gold and olive green leather, and of course features the usual luxury features associated with the model, including pinic tables and wood door capings. One of the most impressive features is the voluminous history, clearly showing the car has been in the hands of enthusiastic owners. Offered with a current Mot until April 2022, this is a charming example of a thoroughly useable classic.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 59/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1921 Swift 12hp Two-seater with DickeyRegistration no. VSU 913 (to be confirmed)Chassis no. 3173Engine no. M764Odometer reading: TBCMOT: Exempt *Rare survivor of a quality make*An older restoration*Recently re-commissionedCoventry-based bicycle maker Swift turned to motor manufacture at the turn of the 20th Century with a single-cylinder voiturette powered by a De Dion-style MMC engine, progressing to a 10hp twin-cylinder light car, entirely of its own design, in 1904. The twin was replaced by a four-cylinder 10hp model in 1914, a 12hp four being added at the same time. A new '12' was announced in March 1919, joining the pre-war '10'. Concentrating on the manufacture of small family cars while producing virtually all its own parts enabled Swift to beat its mass-producing rivals for quality but not for price, a policy that led, inevitably, to its closure in 1931. According to the Swift Register, only some 200-or-so Swift motor vehicles of all types are known to survive worldwide, mostly in the UK but spread as far as South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. This Swift was sold new via F N Morgan of Newport and probably registered as 'TJ 3457' originally. No further history is known until the 1980s/1990s when the car was restored in England and reregistered as 'VSU 913' (photographs on file). The Swift came to Jersey in 1996 and was actively campaigned in club events on the island. Purchased by the current vendor in November 2019 following a period of inactivity, it was then re-commissioned, being serviced and fitted with new Blockley tyres, new carpets, new battery, etc (bills on file). Reported as running well, this charming Vintage-era Swift and is only sold because the vendor no longer has time to enjoy it.

1948 Bedford OB Plaxton Motor CoachRegistration no. EAJ 679Chassis no. OB68823Odometer reading: tbcMOT: Exempt*A classic of British bus design*Present ownership since 2006*Extensively restored 2006-2008 (engine rebuilt 2015)*Driven to the saleTo view a video of this lot please click hereRationalising its manufacturing, General Motors moved production of Chevrolet commercial vehicles to its Vauxhall car plant at Luton, from whence a redesigned range of 'Bedford' branded commercials emerged in 1931. In 1939, Bedford introduced the 'K' series which, in common with passenger cars of the time, was more curvaceously styled and featured a rounded radiator grille. The 'K' series catered for 30-40cwt payloads, while further up the scale Bedford offered the 'M' and 'O' series for loads of up to three tons and five tons respectively. Introduced at the same time, the 'OB' was the coach version of the 'O' lorry chassis. Relatively few 'OB' chassis were built prior to WW2, but the model would prove to be an outstanding success with 12,766 produced up to 1951, making it one of the most popular buses of its type ever. This Plaxton-bodied Bedford OB was purchased by the late owner in 2006. Known as 'Charlie', the coach was in a good running and driving condition but the woodwork and aluminium body required attention. There are bills on file from Bygone Bedford Bits of Poole for parts used during the restoration in 2006-2008 together with others from Vintage Military Vehicle Spares for a replacement gearbox, clutch, manifolds, etc. The engine was rebuilt in 2015 by G S Autos in Honiton, while South East Coachworks carried out extensive repairs to the ash frame and fitted new skinning. There is a photographic record on file plus bills totalling circa £25,000. The coach still presents well, and will be driven to the auction.£38,000 – 45,000Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 100/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1965 Vanden Plas Princess 4-Litre 'R' SaloonRegistration no. EJW 359CChassis no. V/RS31523Engine no. 40FBAH1674Odometer reading: 15,806MOT: Exempt *Automatic transmission*Previous long-term enthusiast family ownership*An older restoration*Well maintainedOne of Britain's most illustrious coachbuilders, chiefly remembered for its sublime Vintage-era Bentleys, the firm of Vanden Plas was acquired by Austin in 1946 and reinvented as a marque in its own right some years later. From the late 1940s onwards Vanden Plas engaged in bodying top-of-the-line Austins before marque status, albeit courtesy of 'badge engineering', arrived for 1960. When the Austin A99 was upgraded to A110 specification in 1961, the equivalent Vanden Plas Princess followed suit, becoming the Mark II. The final development saw the Princess offered with the six-cylinder Rolls-Royce FB60 engine: a short-stroke 3,909cc variant of that used in the Silver Cloud. Extensive revisions were made to accommodate the Rolls-Royce engine and the new model – known as the Princess 4-Litre R – was most enthusiastically received. Sadly, after the initial enthusiasm wore off, sales slowed to a trickle and only 6,555 cars had been built when the model was withdrawn in 1968. This restored Princess R previously belonged for a long time to a family of classic car enthusiasts, passing through the hands of various family members while being used sparingly as part of their sizeable collection. The car has been maintained by Penguin Motors of Cambridge and comes with numerous bills relating to its restoration and maintenance together with photographs of the former. MoTs on file date back to 1995 and the car also comes with a V5C document. An honest car, very well looked after, this handsome Princess R drives very well (the automatic transmission works smoothly) and is the very exemplar of quality motoring.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 70/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.
