- 1960 Excelsior 98cc Motorcycle
Reg no. 652 YUB
Chassis no. F4S11267
Engine no. 606B 12625
Excelsior were the first British motorcycle manufacturer. They started producing penny farthings in 1874 under the name Bayliss, Thomas and Co. In 1896 they built their first motor-bicycle in their Coventry factory. In 1910 they became the Excelsior Motor Co.
Excelsior quickly gained an impressive racing pedigree, winning the Isle of Man Lightweight TT in 1929 with a B14 and then again in 1933 with a Mechanical Marvel, which won on its very first outing. In 1935 they brought out the Manxman which, although it did not win, was campaigned impressively over the next three years.
Unfortunately the company folded in 1965, having produced their last motorcycle in 1964.
This manual, two speed bike, finished in green, is in very good condition throughout. It had been used for vintage shows in rough condition, but was restored in 1999 to its present condition. It has new tyres that have never been used on the road, and runs very well. It is not MOTd and comes with its V5c document. £ 1,000 - 1,200
- Lot 482
- 1954 BSA Bantam 150cc Motorcyle
Reg no. CAS304
Chassis no. BD2529138
Engine no. BD3B1101
The Bantam was, and still is, an extremely popular motorcycle. Well over 250,000 were built between 1948 and 1971 by the Birmingham Small Arms Company. BSA started off with the D1 bikes, which produced 4bhp from a 125cc, two stroke engine.
This Bantam is one of the early D3s (produced from 1954-1957) which had a larger output of 5.3bhp from a 150cc, three speed engine. The suspension was more substantial than the earlier bikes and the cylinder on this one features the distinctive, larger, D3 cooling fins. Finished in grey with beige details, this motorcycle is in good condition, the engine is described by the vendor as being in very good condition. It was restored in 2006, having previously been used for rallying. It is not MOTd and does come with its V5c document. £ 1,200 - 1,400
- Lot 483
- 1980 Harley Davidson Sportster
Reg no. FUD 796V
Chassis no. 3A26316JO
Engine no. 3A26316JO
The Harley Davidson Sportster motorcycles date back to 1957. They were very popular and often raced on dirt or flat tracks through the two decades after their release. The key to their success was their lightweight, easy to handle nature and their small size compared to other Harley motorcycles.
This 1000cc, four speed, Harley Davidson has been kept in a private collection and has only done 4365 miles since new, as a result it is in very good condition throughout. It has had a new starter motor and battery fitted this year and is MOTd until July 2012. The road tax runs out this December. £ 4,000 - 5,000
- Lot 484

Chassis no. D14C5582
Engine no. D14C5582
The Bushman is an off-road version of the BSA Bantam. They were mainly built for export, for Australia in particular. However, around three hundred were sold in the UK.
This one has a 175cc single cylinder engine, and is finished in two tone orange and white. It runs and is in good condition. It comes with a large file of old MOTs, log books, hand books, parts books and a workshop manual. £ 1,500 - 1,800

- 1995 Moto Guzzi California 1100cc
Reg no. N960 DRO
Chassis no. KD12529
Engine no. KD 12474
This Moto Guzzi has a 1100cc, 90-degree V-twin engine with electronic fuel injection. It was meant to mate sporty Italian motorcycle style with the American style cruiser and the design was originally based on a bike that they had sold to the Los Angeles Police Department. It has had two owners from new and has a very low mileage (7243). Finished in yellow and black it is in excellent original condition and has just had a new battery fitted. £ 3,000 - 3,500

Reg.no. N/A
Frame no. Unknown
Engine no. Unknown
We are informed by the vendor that this machine is understood to be a 'Works' bike but sadly there is no evidence to support this statement at the present time. It is presented in very good condition but has not run for some years. However we believe that it will be a very straightforward project to recommission. £ 1,700 - 1,900
- Lot 487
- 1951 Douglas 80 Plus
Reg no. NWB 722
Chassis no. 9687/80
Engine no. 9931/80
Douglas began their engineering days in Bristol in 1880. They built their first motorcycle engine in 1905 and very quickly became known for their horizontally-opposed twin cylinder engines. This layout, as seen on the 80 plus 350cc here, gives the bike a low centre of gravity, good balance and as Douglas promoted, a power curve free from vibration. They also published in their brochure that The Mark V represents one of the most highly developed models in the industry and has no rival for the motorcyclist who needs efficiency, comfort, reliability and perfect road-holding. A twin is best and Douglas is the best twin
This motorcycle has been standing for 14 years and, although it runs, will require some gentle mechanical and cosmetic work. The engine was changed in the late 1960s, it has a four gallon fuel tank, and we are advised all the lights work, although the motorcycle does not have its battery fitted.

- 1952 AJS Model 18 with Swallow Sidecar
Reg.no. FAS 359
Frame no. 86733
Engine no. 21553
The model 18 is one the bet known of all British singles. Matchless had taken over the now bankrupt AJS concern in 1931 and by the time of WWII were little more than badge engineered clones of the Matchless. During the War the parent company developed a great reputation with despatch riders which proved good for future sales. This 1952 model 18 has only had three owners from new, but little used by the previous two. The sidecar and hood etc were restored by the late Phil Lomax, but overall the bike is in original unrestored condition. This is certainly a remarkable and endearing feature of this machine, and such a timewarp is rare today. This machine was featured in the Authentic & Unrestored section of The Classic Motorcycle magazine in April 2001, written by Roy Poynting, a copy of which is sold with the bike.

Chassis no. 97392
Engine no. 53/16MS17714
The original Matchless G3 L motorcycles were built for the British Army. After WW II they were used extensively for trials, as there were plenty of bikes and spares around that could be converted for civilian use.
This G3 LS built in 1953 has a 350cc, single cylinder, OHV engine which is in excellent condition. The bike is in very good condition all round, having been restored to a very high standard by the previous owner in 2010. It is taxed and MOTd until June 2012 £ 3,000 - 4,000

This LE was last running in 2000, and carries a tax disc from this time. There is no documentation with this machine but it is on the DVLA database so registration should not present a problem. An ideal light restoration project or just recommission and use as it is. £ 300 - 400
- Lot 492
- 1937 Rudge Rapid 250cc
Reg no. 470 CFH
Chassis no. 64269
Engine no. A1302
Rudge motorcycles were produced from 1911 to 1946 and very quickly became a popular bike because of their racing pedigree. The 1929 Ulster Grand Prix was won on a Rudge, averaging a speed of over 80mph. They also finished first, second and third at the 1930 Isle of Man Junior TT, and first and second in the Senior TT. The Rapid is a two-port, single pipe tourer, and is much cheaper and easier to run on a day to day basis than the larger 500cc Rudge bikes.
It was purchased by the current owner from a deceased estate in 2007. The previous owner had restored it in the 1970s and registered it with its current number in 1978. It has undergone a professional restoration to a very high standard this year. It is in good condition throughout and comes with some old paperwork and its V5c. £ 4,000 - 5,000

- 2010 Harley Davidson Sportster 883R
Reg.no. OU10 ZBL
Frame no. 5HD4652C7AG411317
Engine no. C52A411317
The Harley Davidson Sportster motorcycles have been produced non stop since 1957, with the XL range being powered by a forty five degree, V-twin, ohv engine. This bike has the 883cc Evolution engine, with five gears. It is designed to look 'retro' like the original Sportster and should take the rider back to the 'golden era' of flat track racing in the 1970's. This example was only purchased new at Easter 2010, and is not surprisingly still in superb condition. The owner specified a 17litre capacity fuel tank replacing the standard 12.5 litre version. The dual seat is slightly shorter than standard as a result. The extra cost of this modification was £700, and was carried out by Oxford marque specialists. An exciting machine ready to be enjoyed. £ 6,000 - 7,000

- 1957 BSA D3 Bantam Major
Reg no.TBM 996
Chassis no. CD3 19174

The D3 Bantam was produced from 1954 to 1957. This is the second D3 in the sale, and is one of the later D3s which had an output of 5.3bhp from a 150cc, three speed engine. The suspension was more substantial than the earlier bikes and the cylinder on this one features the distinctive, larger, D3 cooling fins.
This model in particular was produced for one year, with a swinging arm frame. The bike is complete and is now running but requires some work. It had been standing in a barn in France for many years but had never been registered there. £ 600 - 800

Reg no. YB 9546
Chassis no. 939
Engine no. 831W
Made like a gun, goes like a bullet. Royal Enfield motorcycles have always been extremely popular. After they shut up shop in 1970, the rights were bought by Enfield of India who still produce bikes to this day, making them the oldest motorcycle manufacturer still running in the world. In 1928 Royal Enfield started to use bulbous saddle tanks, making 1927 the last year of the flat tanks. This bike was last on the road in 1978, and has been dry stored since. It is in very original condition and comes with an old buff logbook, V5c, some history and an old MOT. £ 5,750 - 6,250
- Lot 496
- 1983 BMW R65 Motorcycle
Reg no. A487 KBW
Chassis no. 6411592
Engine no. 6411592
The R65 was built by BMW to add a lightweight, medium sized motorcycle to their range. First seen in 1978, the 650cc OHV bike gained a good reputation for being a reliable machine. In 1981 the power output was upped to 50bhp, which meant the bike could do a very reasonable 0-62 in 5.8 seconds.
This R65 has been in the same family since 1984 and is described by the vendor as being in good, serviceable condition, and has a low mileage of 31,000. £ 2,000 - 3,000

Engine no. CX500 E2402296
Honda manufactured the CX range from 1978 to 1983. The motorcycles featured a flying v-twin engine, so called because of the a-symmetrical cylinder arrangement, as a result of their position the crankshaft is positioned longitudinally in the bike. The engine was also water cooled, had four valves per cylinder and developed 50bhp. They are know for being economical and reliable bikes.
This one, finished in metallic red, used to belong to a German collector before being imported and registered here last year by the vendor. It is in excellent condition throughout and comes with its original tools, handbook and three keys. The MOT expires in November 2011. £ 1,750 - 2,000

The Morris Traveller has always been an extremely popular car. This one, finished in Trafalgar blue with the iconic external ash framework, is described as being in good condition throughout, with the paint and interior being in fair but used condition. It features the 1098cc, four cylinder engine with a four speed gearbox. It has had a series of modifications, such as the addition of a servo and front disc brakes, as well as a radio, rear heated windows and reversing lights.
It was used as a doctors run about from 1982 to 2011, having had a new engine and gearbox fitted in the late 1980s. The car is quite original and, according to the vendor, drives very well. The registration number is transferable and we have been informed that the only other Morris with 999 in its registration is in the Falklands.
The vehicle is taxed (until 31/5/12) and MOTd (until 5/1/12) and comes with plenty of old MOT certificates. £ 2,500 - 2,800

- 1950 Ford Prefect
Reg no. OEH 899
Chassis no. C568393
Engine no. C568393
The Post-War small Fords were derived from its earlier Pre-War siblings of the 8 and 10hp cars. These developed into the Anglia and Prefect with more modern bodywork and pressed steel wheels. These small economical cars were just what the Post-War buying public wanted. The cars were colourful with lots of brightwork, and generally very easy to maintain. They along with other marques lifted the spirit of the people, they in turn developed into the much loved Consul, Zepher and Zodiac of the mid 1950s and 1960s.
This Ludlow Green example is in good overall condition, having been restored in recent years. It is fitted with new tyres and has a current MOT that expires in May. However it does still retain its well patinated original brown leather interior. A very useable and reasonably priced classic that will give years of pleasure.

Engine No. P511995 (at very rear of block on crankcase)
Car No. 4PT-4180
Austin motorcars were manufactured from 1907 onwards. Herbert Austin had previously been general manager of Wolseley, and resigned in 1905 to form his own company. 1918 saw the introduction of one of the companys great designs, the 20 hp model. The 20 hp had a 3.6 litre four cylinder side-valve engine. The cars were equipped with rear wheel drum brakes and a central gate-change four speed manual gearbox, and even with substantial bodies they could reach 60 mph. The Austin 20 was known as an exceptionally reliable car, some having reputedly covered over a million miles!
This car was exported new to Australia and was re-imported by Andrew Booth in February 2010. The body is finished in green with black wings, whilst the interior is in a green vinyl. A lot of cars were imported into Australia purely as rolling chassis and were bodied by local craftsmen, we must stress however, that this car carries its original Austin (UK) built body and has the correct Austin carriage plates in all the door apertures. This car has all its original features including Smiths instruments, CAV lighting and electrical equipment, Zenith carburettor, Watford magneto, and Sankey wheels. It has a rear auster screen for the benefit of rear seat passengers and twin mounted spare wheels.
The previous owner of this vehicle in Australia, a life-long devoted Austin enthusiast, had owned the car for over forty years! One can only assume that he liked the car! The car has never been completely restored and in very original condition, and ready to be enjoyed as is, or could be improved cosmetically. Fully Mot'd, UK registered and ready to be used.
It is a very large, rare and impressive car and sure to cause attention wherever it goes!
The successful purchaser will have the option of purchasing a set of five wooden beaded-edge wheels (correct for the year of manufacture) for £600.

Reg.no. SSU 379
Chassis no. A5421319
Engine no. A5421319
The Humber Hawk was the first car to be produced after the Second World War by the Rootes Group. In true post-war spirit, (make do and mend comes to mind!) the Rootes Group based the first Humber Hawk on the pre-war Hillman 14 with which they fitted a 1944cc side valve, four cylinder engine that had been designed in the 1930s. The MK II, brought out in 1947 was essentially the same car with a few cosmetic changes.
The MK III brought out in 1948 looked like an entirely new car, and it nearly was. It had a new chassis, a different body and new suspension but it still retained the same engine from the previous mark. 1950 saw the introduction of the MK IV which had a larger 2267cc engine with an aluminium cylinder head, the car had a top speed of 71.4mph. The new look MK V came in 1952, and in 1954 the MK VI was unveiled.
The Rootes Group had fitted this latest version of the Hawk with an OHV head and had lengthened the body a little, this model could do reach 79.7mph. This car was bought by the vendor in 2003 in Aberdeen and did some gentle body work and refurbishment before repainting the vehicle. It has its original beige leather interior and is said to be running well, it was last taxed and MOTd in 2010. £ 3,500 - 5,000

This rare French van originated in the Midi area of France and was then imported into Switzerland in 1983, where it was dry stored until 2007, when the current owner purchased the car and commenced restoration. It was then imported to the UK in July 2009. It has had a complete body off restoration, whilst being mindful of retaining the originality. Where necessary mechanical upgrades have taken place, for example replacing all the brake pipes etc. The engine has been fully rebuilt to a high standard, as has the interior, the doors are covered in pied de coq (hounds tooth) sourced in France. Many thousands have been spent with 2CV specialists in a no expense spared restoration, which is a much used term, however in this case it needs to be seen to be believed. This must be the best example of its kind.

This car was first registered for the road on 26th July 1929. It has the preferred Silent-Third manual gearbox, standard nine horsepower engine with a single SU carburettor and BTH magneto ignition. The dashboard and all the instruments are correct and original for the car, as are the Rotax head and sidelights.
The car is finished in black fabric to the body with black wings, whilst the bonnet and wire wheels are finished in burgundy red with a red leather interior. It has a luggage rack to the rear of the car and is generally well presented. There is a full set of wet weather gear all in good condition.

Reg. no. XZ 8491
Chassis no. 4TC 9203
Engine no. 8159L6
The 16/6 model was announced in October 1927, but delivery did not commence until the following March. The Austin factory produced 6,401 examples in its first year. Prices were £255 in chassis form, £355 for the two seater or open road and £395 for the fabric saloon. Built on the 12/4 chassis the first 16/6s were hard to distinguish from the four cylinder cars, but after a short time wire wheels were introduced in place of the artillery ones still at that time used by the 12/4. By August 1928 the new Burnham was ready with increased width and length. This model changed Austins forever with greater refinement in an airtight saloon, craved by the buying public.
This unusual example of the 16/6 range is believed to have been exported new in chassis form to New Zealand. The Auckland body works fitted this body to the chassis at the time. It was registered to various Auckland owners until 1990, when it was imported back to the UK. Since then it has had several owners and a possible engine change. The current owner has used the car extensively, carrying out various works along the way including new big end bearings and timing chain. A very useable two seater that benefits from a weather proof compartment and also the rare luxury of an extensive boot. N.B. This car has recently received a new MOT, that expires in Sepember 2012. £ 8,000 - 10,000

- 1934 Wolseley 9 hp Tourer with Eustice Watkins bodywork
Reg.no: ARR 694
Chassis No.181/138A
Engine No.151A/138A
Wolseley was based in Birmingham and was involved in the manufacture of motorcars from the start of the motoring industry. By 1901 it was amongst the largest producers, building 327 cars that year, and rising to 3,000 in 1914, by which time they led the industry in the UK.
In 1932 Wolseley introduced the Wolseley Hornet Special, which was quite revolutionary at the time, in that it had a six-cylinder, overhead camshaft engine and hydraulic brakes. These were only ever sold in chassis form, and the customer had their chosen coach builder build an individual body, or were purchased by coachbuilders who then erected a body, and the car was then sold through Wolseley Main Agents. This car is one of only three tourers produced on the Wolseley 'Wasp' chassis and was a 9 hp four cylinder version of the Wolseley Hornet Special. All three tourers were bodied with spe-cialist coachwork by Eustice Watkins, who also built a number of bodies on the Wolseley Hornet Special chassis. Indeed, there are many detailed similarities, including a remote con-trol gear lever, a sports steering wheel, and a polished aluminium dashboard, which was the same on all three cars. (No 9 hp tourers have been known to have been bodied by any other coachbuilder.) The car would most likely have been sold though the main Wolseley agents Whittingham & Mitchell.
First registered in 1934 this Wolseley 9 hp has a four-cylinder ohc engine of 1018 cc together with a four-speed gearbox. Very original and really charming, the car is finished in black with a red interior, together with a full set of side screens. The car was rebuilt in the early nineteen ninetys. The previous owner, now deceased, used the car up until 2000, but then retired to Grand Canary, and the car was left garaged in Cornwall. It has been recently recommissioned and it is now MoT'd and ready for the road.
It has an original buff coloured logbook, together with some past MoT's, a handbook, an instruction manual and current MOT valid until 14th August 2012. £ 8,500 - 10,000

- 1966 Humber Supersnipe
Reg no. 2935PZ
Chassis no. B084600533P0S0D
Engine no. B084600533P0S0D
The Humber Super Snipe was introduced in 1938, but the Second World War halted the production of the original marque. It had started life with the four litre, six cylinder engine from the Humber Pullman and the light chassis of the Snipe. However, war intervened and the car was reintroduced by the Rootes Group in 1946. The MK I was essentially a larger Humber Hawk with a 2731cc engine. The early Super Snipes developed through to the MK IV which was a much larger car with a 4138cc, OHV, engine which gave 113bhp. This was the last of the Super Snipes to be produced.
The name was revived by the company in October 1958. The new Super Snipes became known by their Series. Again, they based the cars on the latest Humber Hawk, with its monocoque chassis, and fitted a larger 2651cc, six cylinder, OHV engine. 1962 brought the Series IV cars and then the Series Vs. This model had the same engine, tuned with Twin Zenith Stromberg 175CD carburettors and a Harry Westlake cylinder head which increased the power to 128.5 bhp. They also had a lower roofline, a more vertical windscreen and synchromesh on all gears.
This car has been in the same family for over thirty years and is in good condition inside and out with its original interior and maroon paintwork. It was last taxed and MOTd in 2010.

These ever popular Austin 7 Chummys are perhaps the most recognisable of all Vintage cars and were derived from the very first Austin 7 Pramhood model, which in fact saved the Austin factory. It was a major departure from Austins whose manufacturing was totally geared towards large and imposing cars. The Chummy was revolutionary in having four-wheel brakes and was easy to maintain with low running costs.
This 1929 model is in excellent all round condition, with the correct wing mounted headlamps as opposed to the earlier scuttle mounted ones, coil ignition and chrome brightwork, correct for 1929. We are told that the car was restored in 1994, for which there are bills available. The current owner has owned this example for five years, and has used it for local events. It starts on the button, and is the best example we have seen. It is MOTd until November.

The 10 hp was well engineered and offered both quality and comfort. The body styling and construction was decidedly 1930s.
This 10 saloon is in superb condition. It is finished in dark cherry red and black paintwork, with the original brown leather interior, which is in really superb condition. It has a fully operational sunroof and opening windscreen and still retains the original fully fitted tool tray.
Also still fitted is the original radio aerial mounted under the near-side running board, which couldnt have helped the reception!
The car was owned by a retired engineer who carried out a meticulous restoration of the car in the mid nineteen-nineties. The bodywork restoration alone costing over £5,500 at that time! The car comes with numerous invoices, copious old MOT certificates, correspondence from a past long-term owner, and a buff coloured logbook from 1948. During restoration, the car was fitted with a re-built larger 12 hp engine, flashing directional indicators, Quartz halogen driving lights and a Kenlow fan for use in heavy traffic in the summer. The past owner was meticulous in the general maintenance and up-keep of the car and went to every length to ensure a fully usable car in every condition, whether by day or night, winter or summer.
This is a lovely Rover with a delightful patina to the leather interior. It is ready to be enjoyed. When new, it claimed a top speed of 70 mph, and it is able to keep up with modern traffic on the average road. £ 7,000 - 10,000

Reg no. FN 9851
Chassis no.3912

The 9/20 model was first introduced in 1926 and has a four-cylinder i.o.e. engine of 1056 cc and a three-speed gearbox. The gear change lever and handbrake are situated on the right of the driver and the car has a central throttle/accelerator pedal.
This car is believed to have had only two previous owners from new and had remained in Kent until fairly recently. The first owner a Raymond Gilbert of Broadstairs, sold the car to Colin Carpenter of Sandwich in 1953 who ran a Builders' Merchants shop in the town.
Although used extensively in the first few years, it is believed that the car hadn't seen the light of day for many decades and was almost entombed. The front and rear seat squabs are miss-ing as is the metal luggage rack, but otherwise it is totally complete and is a very original car in every respect.
It was only after Colin Carpenter's demise in 2010, that the vehicle passed to his nephew Peter Walters of Sandwich and subsequently the car was purchased from him.
The Humber 9/20 is a delightful light car, very easy to drive and with light steering. A large file of paperwork accompanies this car. Although the old buff coloured logbook gives the reg-istration as 1929, the chassis number sequence would indicate production being in the latter quarter of 1926, not 1929. The 9/20 model ceased production in 1928, replaced by the 9/28. One can only assume that the car was left in a showroom somewhere unsold, and it maybe was heavily discounted in order to sell it when the new 9/28 model became available in 1929.
The history file contains an old buff coloured logbook and current V5C registration docu-ment, the original Humber 9/20 handbook together with numerous original sales brochures from parts suppliers, some period photographs of the car in the early nineteen-fifties and a book of tickets for the Toll Bridge in Sandwich. This is a model well catered for by the enthu-siastic Humber Register.

The Jensen Interceptor was introduced in 1966 and produced until 1976. In total 6,408 Interceptors were built, 267 of those were convertibles mainly destined for the US market. This car was exported to the US in 1975, it was originally left hand drive. It is now right hand drive, having been changed in 1999, and features the larger 7212cc Chrysler V8 engine. Jensen had previously fitted a smaller 6276cc V8 when the cars first rolled out, but updated them in 1971, the same year as the release of the MK III Interceptor. The convertibles were released in 1974.
The Interceptor has always been a popular car, due mainly to its good looks, the body was designed by Carrozzeria Touring of Italy, and its grand touring capabilities. There are plans in the pipeline for a new Interceptor to be produced by CPP, the company who produce Bowler Wildcat Land Rovers. If all goes to plan they'll have a demo car by the end of next year and they'll be on sale in 2014. So now is the perfect time to purchase the original and best! £ 25,000 - 28,000

Austin motorcars were manufactured from 1907 onwards. Herbert Austin had
previously been general manager of Wolseley, he resigned in 1905 to form his own company. 1922 saw the introduction of one of the companys second great designs, the Heavy 12/4 model. It featured a side valve mono-block engine of 1661 cc in unit construction with the gearbox and had a plate clutch. The gate-change gear lever and hand brake were centrally mounted.
This particular car with original Austin coachwork was exported new to New Zealand, where it remained until re-imported back to the UK in 2003.
It is finished in Trafalgar blue with black wings and wheels, and has black deep-buttoned leather to the interior. It still retains the original beaded edge wheels, fitted with 760 x 90 tyres. The spare wheel is mounted at the rear together with a luggage rack. The CAV lighting, dashboard instruments, and early style hub centres are all correct and original. Being an early car it has the lower radiator with a slight up-sweep to the windscreen, which is such an attractive feature. It is believed to be to original specification in all respects.
During the present ownership a considerable amount of work has been undertaken including a complete engine strip down and rebuild where necessary. This included re-facing of the cylinder block and cylinder head, refacing of cam followers and adjusting bolts, honing of the cylinder bores, new piston rings, re-cutting new valve seats, fitting new valves and guides, a new timing chain and new bearings for the
dynamo drive. The hood, sidescreens, and hood bag have all been professionally
re-trimmed to an exceptionally high standard. The car has been driven zero miles since this work has been completed. The engine will require careful 'running-in' for the first 500 miles!
Paperwork includes numerous past MoT certificates, photocopy of a 1923 owners handbook, a current MoT valid until 23 June 2012 and the current V5C registration document.

Chassis no. 31949
Renault obtained a reputation for innovation from very early on. Louis Renault and his brothers realised that there was huge amounts of publicity to be gained from entering the early city to city races across Europe. Having achieved instant success in these, the company expanded rapidly. By 1905 the company had introduced mass production techinques. Very soon, within their first twenty years, they were manufacturing many different models of cars, buses, taxis, engines for aeroplanes, tanks, and ammunition.
The CC was brought out in 1911, and was released along with the Type CQ, Type DM, Y-22, AG1, CE and the CG. This particular car was built in 1912, and restored from parts in the 1980s in New Zealand, nothing is known of the cars early history or how it ended up on the other side of the world. It was rebuilt with an open tourer body by Roger Hill, of New Zealand, with the addition of a Stewart carburettor, an electric fuel pump, alternator and coil/distributer ignition to the 3562cc, four cylinder engine. It was then imported to England in August 2002 by Orchid Cars, since then it has had a new alternator and new wings fitted.

The Minx Magnificent was an updated version of the original Hillman Minx which had been an enormous success for the Rootes group. It was the Minx Magnificent though, that resulted in the mark's name being cemented in history. Hillman chose to use the name 'Minx' for forty more years of car production because of this car. The body was smoother and more rounded, and the chassis was stiffened. Hillman also moved the engine forward, which gave the driver and passengers greater leg room. The Magnificent was powered by a four cylinder, 1184cc engine which produced 30bhp.
This car is the earliest registered Minx Magnificent saloon de luxe still surviving (according to the Hillman Owners Club). Production of the new 'Magnificent' model was announced in September 1935, this car was registered in October and has an early chassis number.

The second 1928 Chevrolet in our sale.
In 1928, the release of the Chevrolet National Series A B cars saw General Motors become the market leader in the United States. GM had employed a cunning tactic, they offered $50 off of each new standard car, in order to undermine the new 1928 Ford Model A. It worked. 785,199 A B Series cars were produced, each selling from between $495-$715.
The A B series was a fresh look for Chevrolet, having extended the wheel base four inches from the previous A A Series and using modern design from GMs new Art and Colour Studio, which was formed in 1927. The body had longer, more angular lines, with flowing wheel arches and running boards. Inside the cars were equipped with the four cylinder engine that had first been seen in 1913. In late 1928 this engine was soon changed in favour of the six cylinder type.
This right hand drive, four seater car, has a body finished in maroon with black wings and a four cylinder, 1934cc, engine. The engine, chassis, bodywork, interior and electrics are all described as being in good condition, with the paintwork being in fair and perfectly useable condition.

Powered by a 1998cc four cylinder engine the car featured front disc brakes, anti roll bars and coil springs. In early 1979 Triumph belatedly introduced a convertible version, called the TR7 Drophead, which first went on sale in the US. The British market received it in 1980.
This particular car has been restored over a number of years, with a few modifications such as the fitting of electronic ignition and an electric fan. The registration number was recently valued at £400. Described as in generally good overall condition this is a very useable starter classic that is realistically estimated.

Chassis No.12033
Engine No.12024
The 12/25 featured a four-cylinder monoblock engine of i.o.e. configuration of 1795 cc with a four-speed gearbox in unit construction. It features four wheel brakes with the gate-change gear lever and handbrake situated on the right of the driver. It has a Vee-windscreen and rear luggage rack with the spare wheel mounted on the off-side running board. The car also benefits from an original Auster rear screen, which makes travelling in the rear with the hood down much more pleasurable!
When purchased from an auction in Harrogate it was described as a one family owned vehi-cle, however it would appear that the car had two previous owners prior to entering the very long term ownership of George Anderson a builder near Kelso in 1934. It was eventually sold from his estate in 2006. Up until that time the car had remained in Scotland. What is certain is that one could not find a more original car than this one, and we are told that it has the quietest gearbox of any Humber 12/25! The car featured in the film The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie c.1975(?) (There is a period photo in the history file.)
It is finished in traditional Humber Mole colour with black wings and the deep buttoned brown leather interior, is the original from new but is an absolute delight for those who like originality! Since purchase the car has undergone a total engine rebuild and a full re-trim of the hood, hood bag, and double tonneau in Wigan fabric. Every effort has been made to ex-actly replicate the original in every detail and the car is to the original specification in all re-spects with the exception of directional indicators for safer driving in modern traffic. Only 500 miles have been driven since the engine rebuild and it is due an oil change and re-setting of valve clearances etc. It has by no means been fully run-in, and careful use for the next few hundred miles will be rewarded in the long-term.
The car has been known to The Humber Register for many years. There is a box containing various silver cups won by the car at vintage gatherings, a workshop service manual, the original handbook for the car, an old buff coloured logbook, many past MoT's and tax discs going back over decades. The jack, jack handle, wheel brace and oil cans are stowed against the engine firewall, whilst the starting handle is permanently fixed at the front of the car.

Ten years after the original Land Rover was produced, it was felt that the time was right to update the somewhat primitive, slab sided styling. This evolved into the Series II, with much rounded sides, a feature carried through to the present. Introduced in 1958 it was available in 2,286cc petrol or the newly upgraded 2052cc diesel unit, first seen in 1956. The original permanent four wheel drive was replaced with a selectable two and four wheel drive, and this new model was marketed with just two wheelbase lengths, 88 and 109.
This vehicle with its 2 litre diesel engine, was purchased when 6 months old by the present owners father for use in the family garage, ending its working life when the garage closed in 1991. Since that time it has only been used in the summer for rallies. Shortly after purchase the original canvas tilt was replaced by a factory hard top. Recent work includes a chassis rub down and repaint in 1996, although there never has been any chassis repair work at all, it has been wax oiled for preservation. It still retains the original registration number, and is in very original overall condition, having been preserved rather than restored. A rare opportunity. N.B. This vehicle is MOT'd until May.

In 1976 a replacement for the Toledo arrived in the form of the Dolomite 1300. The new model was a blend of old Toledo features mixed with better interior trim and a longer, larger boot. New equipment also included improved suspension, a larger petrol tank and wider wheels. It used the tried and tested Herald and Spitfire engine known for its excellent reliability. The Dolomite model was also launched with luxuries such as reclining seats, cigar lighter, fastening seat belts, twin reversing lights and a drivers door mirror, all fitted as standard.
Described as in good overall condition by the vendor, this 1850 model presents well, and represents excellent value for money. It has been restored very recently, and there are a few receipts supporting this restoration. It is currently Motd until June.

The Alvis 12/50 featured a 4 cylinder, OHV, push-rod engine of 1½ litres and vehicles with the short stroke engine could comfortably exceed 70 mph. They featured a four-speed gearbox with a right-hand gate-change gear lever and hand brake.
This car is finished in cherry red with black wings and has a red leather interior. Having been stored since 1958, the car was restored in 1985 and went on to win concours at the October 1985 Alvis rally in Chessington. During the present ownership all the road springs have been professionally rebuilt, together with the dynamo. The car has also been fitted with directional indicators and hazard warning lights, apart from these small modifications, the car is original.
The 12/50 Sportsman saloon is undoubtedly the most attractive of the Alvis saloons manufactured, and because only a few have survived they are always sought after by enthusiasts. The Sportsman saloon is very distinctive with its elegant 'Vee' windscreen and peaked roof, plus a smokers hatch in the roof. Considering it is a saloon it is exceedingly light, airy and a very pleasant environment in which to drive. The interior is well appointed with a cigarette compartment and even a letter writing rack in the rear of the car.

The Austin 10 was Austins solution to a mid-range vehicle. It was slightly larger than the Austin 7 and not as large as the 12. Manufactured from 1932 to 1947, it was a very successful family car. The smooth styled Cambridge saloon type body was introduced in 1937 along with the Conway Cabriolet. Both of these cars served as a breath of fresh air to the old box-style bodies of the previous 10s. The Cambridge brought with it upgraded Girling rod-brakes, 16 inch disc wheels (which replaced wire wheels) and more passenger space, which had been achieved by moving the engine forward.
This car has a 1141cc engine which should propel the car up to a comfortable 60mph. £ 3,000 - 5,000

Introduced in 1963, the Rover P6 was known as the 2000, 2200, and 3500 based on the engine capacity. Marketed first as the Rover 2000, it was a completely new design and a real departure from what had gone before. It was very advanced for its time, with tube rear suspension, four wheel disc brakes and a fully synchromesh gearbox. The 2000 won industry awards for safety when introduced, featuring all-round seat belts. Rover later developed a derivative of the engine by fitting twin SU carburettors and a re-designed top end. This was marketed as the 2000TC.
This 2000TC requires some re-commissioning, although is in running condition. It presents a good opportunity to improve what appears to be a basically sound car and return it to the road.

In its younger years Humber was extremely successful, it was one of the first companies to build series-production motor cars and by 1913 was the second larges motor manufacturer in the UK. They saw a very productive period during the early 1920s with light, plucky cars such as the 8/18. At the time of the 9/20 (the 8/18 but with a larger engine and a heavier body) production slowed and in the late 20s the company was paired with Hillman and taken over by the Rootes Group between 1930-1932.
The 14/40 is a respected and popular vintage car and this one has been in the same family since 1934, when it was purchased in Belfast. It was converted in to a lorry during the Second World War and taken off the road and stored in 1953. All the original parts were kept and the vehicle was restored to its former, four door glory during the 1980s. The car is in very good condition and finished in the traditional Humber mole colour, with black wings, brown leather interior and a beige hood. It is well known in Northern Ireland, having appeared at many vintage and classic events and for being cared for by a committed Humber enthusiast. It now comes to the market as part of a deceased estate and was taxed and MOTd until very recently.

1929 to 1930 saw the release of the Chrysler 66 and 70. The 66 was the entry level model, with the 70 being slightly more luxurious (later a 77 would follow, with even more bells and whistles). Chrysler produced 66 coupes, sedans, tourers and roadsters, in total 22,606 66s were built. This period was an enormously productive time for Chrysler himself, in 1930 he opened the Chrysler building in New York, a year after the Wall Street Crash. The fact that Chrysler was still going at this tough time, shows how strong the business was.
This car has a 3300cc straight six engine, it is finished in two tone red and black and has two seats with a dicky. The vehicle was restored in 2008 and is in great condition all round, though the vendor advises that the interior will need finishing. The car is MOTd until 2012 and has its V5c. £ 9,000 - 10,000

Chassis no. T1085

The six cylinder, 20/60 was the first car to be produced by Vauxhall since they were bought by General Motors. This purchase of a British mark by an American company was extremely unpopular at the time and was seen as a sell out. However, Vauxhall soldiered on under the leadership of their new sales manager, Arthur Francis Palmer Phillips. Phillips battled the British press, promoting the fact that Vauxhalls were still built in Britain by British men and were 97% British parts.
Four types of 20/60 were produced between 1927 to 1932, the R, T, T-80 and the Silent 80. Vauxhall fitted three different engines during this time. This particular 20/60 has the 2762cc, 20.9bhp engine with a four speed gearbox. It is finished in maroon and black, and is described as being in good condition throughout. Very little is known of this vehicles history, although it is known that it was exported to the Netherlands in September 1980. It was imported in to the UK in August this year, it also has its original buff logbook. The original numberplate MY 6877 is still held by the DVLA, and we are told that the Vauxhall should have this number along with a V5c, tax disc and MOT before the sale. £ 11,500 - 13,000

Reg no. BPB 54
Chassis no. 36173

The 14/6 model was introduced in 1933 on a lengthened under-slung chassis. The Speed model came with a tuned 1577cc ohv engine and high compression cylinder head enabling speeds of 80 mph. The ports and manifolds were streamlined and carburation was by triple downdraught bronze-bodied S.U.s. The model used an aluminium-bodied skin over an ash wood frame. 18 inch Rudge Whitworth centre-lock wire wheels were fitted, with the spare wheel mounted on the boot at the rear. The Speed Pilot was a further extention of the Rover sales policy to attract a more discerning, up-market clientèle and in the case of this car, it has a one-off coach built body by Carbodies, who were the preferred coach builder for Alvis. In-deed there are great similarities with an Alvis Speed 20 especially from the rear. It has a pet-rol tank capacity of 10 gallon with mpg of 20 to 24. The centre-lock wire wheels are fitted with 18 x 4.75 tyres.
This example was owned for many years by a well known Dutch Rover enthusiast, Harry Hildgerdenaar and it has been restored over a long period of time and very well maintained since.
This is a very rare car, being the only one of this model manufactured. (According to club records there is in existence a less original two door version.) It is a very desirable and stylish high-speed touring car that is beautifully finished in mid grey with a grey leather interior, all to the original pattern. The gearbox is an ENV four speed manual with synchromesh and freewheel, as original from new, and not the standard Rover gearbox. There is a photocopy of a test in The Autocar 7 April 1933 relating to this actual car. Termed a four seater, the body really does accommodate four people in comfort, giving plenty of leg room. It has curved humps to the scuttle with instruments very much in the Art Deco style. There is also an arti-cle in the Mayfair magazine Vol 18 No.9, with photographs of this actual car.
Recently the engine has been totally rebuilt and it will require careful 'running-in' for the next few hundred miles.
The bulging history file contains copious invoices going right back to 1934! Also there are copies of the various invoices relating to the recent engine rebuild.

The first recorded owners of this car were John Allen and Son, an Oxford engineering firm. Allen and Son used the Morris as a company car, which, when it was no longer needed, ended up in the private collection of the companys Chairman. There it remained until 1939 where it was sold to Organs Garage in North Oxford, and put on display in their showroom. In 1967 it was sold to Bob May of Marcham, who then passed the car on to his son, John May, in the 1980s. Under their ownership, the cars engine was rebuilt at Payne Engineering, who were well known for their work with vintage vehicles. Bob Payne toured the car in South Africa, Southern Ireland and used it locally. We have been informed that the car has not covered many miles since these expeditions. May later sold the Morris on to John Payne of Payne Engineering, Oxford, on the 29th July 1993.
From there the car was sold to Jeremy Hassell of Edgbaston, Birmingham, in March 1998. Hassell sold the car on in September 2005 to Eamon Luke who took the car to Bognor Regis, where he kept the vehicle in his private collection. In March 2009 it was sold to Andrew Booth.
It is thought that the red leather interior is original, a new hood, hood bag and cover have been fitted recently and there is an extra spare wheel.

The Chrysler Six was the first car to carry Walter Chrysler's name. It was revealed at the New York Motor Show on the 5th January 1924 and was an immediate success, it has been described as the 'foundation stone' of Chrysler's company.
The reason for the Six's fantastic performance is its high quality engineering and the 3300cc, six cylinder engine. The engine had a high compression ratio of 4.7:1 and a seven bearing, balanced crankshaft which together gave 68bhp. Chrysler chose to ignore the conventional braking systems of the time and to fit the Six with hydraulic drum brakes on all four wheels.

It worked. 785,199 A B Series cars were produced, each selling from between $495-$715.
The A B series was a fresh look for Chevrolet, having extended the wheel base four inches from the previous A A Series and using modern design from GMs new Art and Colour Studio, which was formed in 1927. The body had longer, more angular lines, with flowing wheel arches and running boards. Inside the cars were equipped with the four cylinder engine that had first been seen in 1913. In 1928 this engine was soon changed in favour of the six cylinder type.
This car has the 2802cc, four cylinder engine, it is also left hand drive. The body is finished in green, with black wings and green wheels, the paint is in fair condition. The chassis, engine, transmission and electrics are all described as being in good condition with the interior being immaculate and the body work as excellent!
It is MOTd until March 2012, it has a spare wheel and the vehicles paperwork has details of parts and includes repair manuals. £ 8,000 - 9,000

The Singer Junior was unveiled for the 1926 Motor Show. It boasted a three speed gearbox in a conventional chassis mated to its 848cc two bearing ohv engine. Its performance was not electric but similar to many of its contemporaries. It was a quality made car with a great reputation for longevity and reliability.
This particular car has undergone a very detailed restoration, of which there are photographs to support this, however the car will require some finishing. The engine and chassis have been totally restored, and any rotten wood has been replaced. The brightwork has been restored and a proportion including the radiator shell, is already in place. It is expected that by the time of sale, the vendor will have fitted the doors and carried out many aspects of the restoration.

Land Rovers were conceived with a bright idea from Maurice Wilks taking a war time jeep as his inspiration in 1947. No one dreamt that this idea would be anything more than a short run 'stop gap' model. How wrong can one be! The launch in 1948 in Amsterdam spawned many variants over the next 60 years creating one of the great successes of the last six motoring decades.
This vehicle is MOT'd until July. It comes with a selection of old MOT certificates and invoices. However little is known of this examples history, but it appears sound in most respects and would make a very useful addition as either a towing vehicle for a Vintage car or for work on the land. £ 2,000 - 3,000

Reg no. PYW 492
Engine no. 14944
The ever popular Austin 7, very few cars have affected the world quite as much as this. During the 7s production from 1922 to 1939 other manufacturers of small cars barely stood a chance. The 7 was huge in the UK and abroad, where it was manufactured under license in the United States, France, Germany (the first BMW was a licensed 7) and Nissan in Japan based many of their designs on them too. The very first Lotus (the MK1) was also based on an Austin 7.
This 747cc car with a close ratio, four speed box has had masses of work carried out recently. The crank shaft has been re-ground, the big ends have been re-white metalled, double valve springs have been fitted as have new piston rings, the inlet valves have been enlarged, the block has been mildly gas flowed/ported and a newly re-ground trials camshaft has been fitted. The car has not travelled more than 100 miles since these modifications.
This Ulster Replica also has an alloy cylinder head, a deep aluminium ribbed sump, a sports exhaust, and hydraulic brakes (the brakes have just had new front cylinders and a new master cylinder). New track-rod ends have been fitted, the clutch has been relined and the rear axle has just had a good checkup. The distributer has a new cap and points, the wire wheels have recently been powder coated and fitted with new Blockley 3.50x19 tyres.
The chassis, bodywork, paintwork, interior, transmission and electrics are all in good condition and the vehicle has its V5c. Austin 7s have always provided huge amounts of value for money and bags of fun. Any owner will be supported by vast amounts of cheap spares and many excellent owners clubs.

Reg.no. EL 1625
Chassis no. GOS81
Engine no. R7Q
These early limousines were usually purchased by someone wealthy enough to employ a chauffeur, as it would not have looked good to own a division car and drive oneself. The 20/25, introduced in 1929, updated and improved on the original concept, increasing the engine capacity from 3,127cc to 3,669. These improvements in all areas allowed the coachbuilders even greater flexibility when designing new body styles, for a buying public keen to own quality cars between the wars.
This Park Ward example was discovered partly dismantled in the 1980s. It was thoroughly inspected during re-assembly whilst retaining the originality. The engine was rebuilt at this time, and a new head fitted. The paintwork was freshened up and new tyres fitted all round. The result is a very original motorcar in very appealing untouched condition, combined with a very pretty late Vintage body style. The interior is totally original although scruffy, and the car is generally in good sound condition, ready for use as is, or for improvement. She is currently motd until July.

DeSoto vehicles were produced between 1928 to 1961 by the Chrysler Corporation to compete against General Motors in the mid price range of vehicles. Chrysler then bought Dodge, which gave them two marques with which to enter the market.
The Custom was built from 1942 to 1951 and was Chryslers most diverse car, with many different body and trim styles available. The earlier cars were built with pre-war designed bodies, but a full redesign of the Custom range in 1949 breathed new life in to the type with the 1949 Second Series models. They were the most luxurious vehicles of the DeSoto range, powered by a large six cylinder engine.
This car has the 4100cc engine, with a two speed automatic gearbox. It is finished in dark grey with a burgundy cloth and vinyl interior, which was refitted in 2009 when the vehicle was imported from Texas. A new convertible hood and hood motor were also fitted, along with white wall tyres, to finish the recommissioning of the car after it was stored in the US. The engine, chassis, bodywork, paintwork, transmission and electrics are all described as being in good condition.

There can be very few MG Midgets available on the market today, being a one owner car, in the rare colour blue, which was made for one year only. This car is in stunning shape after a fully recorded restoration in late 2007, following a long period of storage. The original owner instructed the car to be removed from storage and authorised a full and extensive restoration which included a full engine rebuild (unleaded hardened seats were fitted at the time). Many new parts were fitted including all round brakes, hardlines, suspension bushes, fuel pump, fuel lines and carpets. Many other jobs have been carried out, too many to list here but the result is probably one of the best examples around of a fully original and unmolested MG Midget. It is still in the original owners name, and included in the file is the original bill of sale, a receipt for original cash payment, original hire purchase agreement, handbook and Haynes manual for 1971. The mileage is a genuine 63,541 miles, with only 1936 miles since the last recorded MOT in August 1982. A unique opportunity.

By the mid to late 1960s competition for the lucrative luxury car market was led by Jaguar. However it has been clear for some time, that if Jaguar/Daimler were to remain at the top end of the car market, into the 1970s and beyond, there would be a pressing need to develop one saloon to replace all the cars in the existing range. To succeed the new car would have to be very special indeed and the XJ6 was born, and was an immediate success with its sister car the Daimler Sovereign.
The previous owner had this car for 23 years, and recently the car has had new sills, front and rear screen rubbers, stainless steel exhaust, battery, radiator, AED unit, shock absorbers and bushes, electronic ignition and general re-commissioning. It has electric windows, original Fujitsu CX-113 EX1 AM-FM radio cassette, electric aerial and power assisted steering. The history file includes receipts for work carried out from 1985, the owners handbook, old MOTs substantiating the low mileage (less than 65,000) and other general ephemera.

The Vitesse MK II was brought out in 1968 as an updated version of the Vitesse, first produced in 1962. It featured an entirely redesigned rear suspension set up, in order to improve the cars handling, this set up was also fitted to the GT6 MKII. The straight six, 1998cc engine was tuned to provide 104bhp and a top speed of over 100mph.
This car has a four speed manual gearbox with overdrive on third and fourth. We are advised that the block needs an overhaul in order to stop it burning oil. There is apparently no visible movement on the crankshaft and the tyres, wheel bearings and suspension are all in good condition. The differential is a little noisy and the overdrive needs attention as it does not always engage. The bodywork, paintwork and electrics are all in reasonable condition. The current owner has had the car since 2006 and has replaced many parts. It has a stainless steel exhaust (with lifetime guarantee), reconditioned radiator, reconditioned steering rack (2007), luminition ignition, a totally overhauled cylinder head and reconditioned carburettors (2010).

Engine no. 27576
The penultimate T series Midget appeared in 1949, being a larger car than its predecessor. The TD owed much to the contemporary Y type saloon, using a narrowed and modified version of its box frame chassis. On this sat an all new body with more room than before, whilst retaining the classic looks of the traditional MG sports car. The saloon parentage was not a handicap, for the Y type was a more advanced design than the TC, employing independent front suspension and rack and pinion steering.
Although traditional in appearance the TD offered greatly increased elbow room for the occupants when compared to the TC. From August 1951 a larger clutch was fitted with associated changes to the flywheel and bell housing. These were known as the TD II.
Restoration on this example began back in 1974, and a nut and bolt restoration followed, which included a new ash frame. The chassis was shot blasted and stove enamelled, the running gear and brakes were completely overhauled and most recently a full re-trim was carried out including full weather equipment, to a very high standard. £ 14,000 - 16,000

The Alfa Romeo Spider (105/115 series) was produced from 1966 1993. Widely regarded as a design classic, it remained in production for almost three decades with only minor aesthetic and mechanical changes. This the series 4 Spider was the last of the line, produced between 1990 1993. This model saw the last major change, being given Bosch Motronic electronic fuel injection with an electric fan. Externally, the Spider lost its front under-bumper spoiler and the rear trunk-lid spoiler, and gained rear lights stretching across the width of the car as well as plastic bumpers the same colour as the car. This also marked the first generation of this car with automatic transmission. There were two engine options and this example we have is fitted with the 1.6litre engine. We understand that this car was imported in 2000, and has received much remedial work since.

They were fitted with a 1288cc, four cylinder engine which originally gave 65bhp. In 1972 they were tuned a little to give 75bhp.

Rileys four seater 1.5litre RMA saloon was introduced in 1945 with low, streamlined body styling and an opulent interior designed to appeal to the more discerning motorist. The cars were built on a separate chassis with unstressed ash framed steel panelwork and fabric covered roof. Power came from a 1496cc ohv four cylinder engine with twin camshafts. It propelled the car to a top speed of 75mph. In 1951 the RMA was replaced by the RME, which was essentially the same car, but with open propshaft, hypoid axle, fully hydraulic brakes and a larger rear window.
Finished in its original blue metallic paint with light grey interior, this car has a recorded mileage of just over 52,000. This is not substantiated although there are MOTs from the last twenty years showing a gradual increase in miles, and the general condition is commensurate with about 52,000.

Throughout its eighteen years production, the original concept of the Model T remained firm, with its 2,892cc side valve unit using epicyclic two speed and reverse gears and transverse leaf suspension front and rear. Certain details were changed of course, including the brass radiator replaced by a black painted version. Far more black radiator cars were made. The affectionate nickname tinlizzie belies the quality of the materials from which they were made. With their low price and durable qualities Model Ts sold themselves. Such was the demand, the company did not need to advertise at all from 1917 to 1923.
This car was purchased from auction a number of years ago, and has since undergone major works with marque specialists, Tuckett Brothers, to the tune of £5,000.

By the time that Morris stopped producing the Bullnose cars (the Cowley and Oxford) they had been responsible for forty-five percent of the new car sale in the United Kingdom. They were an enormously popular mark and had a faithful following since their birth in 1915 (and in some cases from even earlier with the tiny Morris Oxford, first produced in 1912, we have a 1914 model in the sale).
This Oxford, with a 1802cc, side valve, straight four engine, is a more refined, more expensive version of the Morris Cowley. They were both very similar in design, and had a larger version of the pre-war Bullnose radiator. The Oxford had an uprated electrical system, leather interior and in 1925, four wheel braking and a longer chassis, which separated it from the shorter Cowley.
This vehicle was restored through the late 1970s and is finished in two tone grey and black with a grey leather interior. The engine, chassis, bodywork, transmission and electrics are all described as being in good condition.

They were first fitted with a 6230cc V8 engine, which was later enlarged to a 6750cc V8, which gave 189bhp. The Shadows were renowned for their ride comfort, achieved by the Citroen licensed, hydraulic self levelling suspension and dual circuit braking. They also were very modern compared to their predecessor, the Silver Cloud. It was the first moncoque Rolls to be built and to be fitted with disc brakes, rather than drums, and to have independent rear suspension.
The MK II differed very slightly from the MK I. It was fitted with rubber bumpers instead of chrome, and with uprated rack and pinion steering to improve handling. This car is described as being in very good condition throughout. It is MOTd until march 2012 and comes with a file of the vehicles history and build sheets.

It quickly gained a reputation as a fun, reliable and quick little sports car, that offered more room in the front for the driver and passenger and had a larger boot, despite being smaller than its predecessor, the MGA. The engine was larger too at 1798cc, making 94bhp available to the driver, and softer suspension ensured a smoother ride than the 'A'. In 1967 the MGB Roadster MKII was revealed.

The Sierra model was built by Ford from 1982 to 1993 replacing the Cortina. Its aerodynamic styling was ahead of its time and as such, many conservative buyers did not take kindly to the Cortinas replacement. Ten years after its introduction, the Sierras styling was not nearly as outdated as its contemporaries. The Ghia model saw changes that included the grille and rear lights.
First registered on 29th May 1992 this car was bought by its late owner in November the following year. It has been garaged throughout its ownership and serviced annually. The owner only drove locally once or twice a week, however in recent times the car saw little use, although has been started regularly and allowed to run for up to half an hour. It is therefore still in good overall condition, and would make an excellent car for little outlay. The mileage at the time of writing is remarkably just under 29,000, which must be very rare for such a useable car. It is expected that the car will have a new MOT and battery by the time of sale. £ 200 - 400

The MKX Jaguar was aimed squarely at the American market, taking on Cadillac and Lincoln from USA manufacturers, plus Mercedes and Bentley in Europe. It was the largest saloon car ever built by Jaguar, offering luxury accommodation for six adults yet still able to give spirited performance from the 3.8 and latterly 4.2 XK engines, with triple 2 SU carburettors.
This is a genuine 1963 early model MKX Jaguar not to be confused with the lesser spec 420G cars.
It may seem incongruous to some but the MKX not only used the same 3.8 engine, on triple SU carburettors, it also shares its rear suspension with the E-Type. The independent rear suspension, inboard rear discs and quadruple rear coil over shocks gave the MKX a fabulous ride and excellent stopping power.
The 1964 example offered here has been in a private collection since 1967 and has covered just 43,000 miles from new. It is equipped with the 3.8 XK engine, Borg Warner automatic transmission, power steering, upgraded, servo assisted, brakes, electric windows and has been equipped with a full stainless exhaust system, E type steering rack upgrade and four pot front callipers making this car drive and stop better than the original. It has recently had all new water hoses fitted, new door rubbers and has five new P600 Pirelli Tyres.
The car is fast, reliable and stops like a modern car with excellent handling. The car can be used as a daily driver and is 100% reliable.
Finished in maroon with cream leather, the car has a period radio cassette and is said to be in the condition one would expect of such a low mileage example.
Grossly underrated and undervalued for many years, the MKX is now coming into its own but with so few available in nice condition, prices are on the increase. This example presents a rare opportunity.

Available only between 1992-96, the limited edition Ford Escort RS Cosworth was a homologation sports derivative of the Escort MkV to enable Ford to use the car in World Rallying. It was instantly recognisable by its large whale tail rear spoiler and the main selling points were four-wheel drive and the Cosworth YBT engine, a highly tuneable turbocharged 2-litre unit which had an output of 224bhp in standard trim.
Ford developed the car around the chassis and mechanicals of its predecessor, the Sierra Cosworth, to accommodate the larger Cosworth engine and transmission, whilst clothing it in Escort body panels to make it resemble the standard MkV. Designed under the guidance of Ford's SVO department, the body tooling was created by coachbuilders Karmann in Rheine, Germany, where the cars were manufactured.
The Escort Cosworth was a rare car, with 7,145 vehicles produced from the start of production in February 1992 until the last car rolled out of the factory in January 1996. Two versions were produced. The initial 2,500 units were homologation specials used to get the FIA accreditation for entry into the World Rally Championships. They were fitted with a Garrett T3/T04B turbocharger. The second generation, starting production from late 1994, were fitted with a Garrett T25 turbocharger, a smaller unit which increased usability in everyday driving situations. With these later models, the 'whale tail' spoiler became a delete option.
The car proved very successful in rallying, winning 46 world class and world championship rallies.
This particular car was first registered in December 1992 and has covered less than 40,000 miles to date. The interior is in full black leather throughout, including the door cards. The vendor states that: The supplying dealer, Stormont Ford (Tunbridge Wells, Kent), always told me that it was the 16th of only 20 of that specific model, and I have their original sales invoice. There is a full service history, including recent modifications by Bath Performance Cars. The car now has green injectors, 3 bar MAP sensor, -34 activator, 4-core front mount intercooler, phase 2 chip and in-car boost control, plus a Mongoose sports exhaust. It has Bilstein suspension with Eibach springs and the brakes have been up-rated to drilled discs. It currently develops 330bhp, compared with 224bhp from the factory. It is currently taxed and will have a fresh MOT before sale.

The XJ Series II cars were produced from 1973 to 1979. The new body was sleeker, but really not too dissimilar to the Series I cars. They featured an updated front end, with new lights and a higher front bumper to meet US safety regulations. The grille was also slightly thinner and a second inlet was tucked under the chrome bumper. The interior was revised and the interior controls were simplified. At first Jaguar offered short and long wheelbase versions of the Series II but in 1975 chose to only produce the longer cars.
The engine, chassis, transmission and electrics are described by the vendor as being in very good condition, with the bodywork and interior as good, but in need of a little attention. It drives very well and has been in the same family for over 30 years The Series II is becoming increasingly collectible and they are finally being given the well deserved respect that British Leyland stripped from them during their troubled production history. Both the tax and MOT expire in December this year.
