291. 1956 Velocette LE 149cc Motorcycle
Registration Number: LFF 526
Frame Number: 24282
From the 1930's, Velocette was best known for large capacity four-stroke singles, mainly finished in black and gold and fitted with a distinctive fish tail silencer. Velocette was also keen to produce a less sporty town bike; hence the revolutionary LE was introduced in 1949. It was most unusual in its design, with a pressed steel frame, leg shields and a water-cooled flat-twin sidevalve engine. It was an inexpensive and economical machine which could return 156 miles to the gallon, and was favoured by the police force, district nurses and even the clergy!
This example is supplied with copies of original road tests, parts sheets and Velo Club magazines.

294. SINCLAIR C5
The Sinclair C5 was invented by Sir Clive Sinclair and introduced onto the market in early 1985. Despite becoming the subject of national ridicule at the time, the C5 has now achieved somewhat of a cult status. With just 12,000 produced, the tricycle has now become a rarity.
Battery assisted, this tricycle is steered by a handlebar beneath the driver's knees and was designed to reach a top speed of 15mph. Perhaps not entirely practical for modern day living, the C5 is however a suitable collector's piece, ideal for any hardened Eighties aficionado. See illustration

297. THE BRADING EXPERIENCE "BATMOBILE"
Originally constructed and based on a left hand drive Plymouth, the Batmobile was originally used to promote Daganite Batteries.
The car was taken off the road and laid up until the 1980's, when it was purchased by Mr Robert Ball, who set about rebuilding the Batmobile onto a diesel engined Vauxhall Carlton Estate. When the project was completed and made road legal, it was displayed in the Brading Experience Museum on the Isle of Wight. The motor car has been regularly driven around the island, often as a promotional aid with celebrities on board.
The car is licensed and has a current MOT.

298. 1952 AUSTIN CHAMP QUARTER TON 4X4
Registration Number: EHV 786D
Chassis Number: 10502
Engine Number: 62225
Built by the Austin Motor Company, the Austin Champ was produced solely for the British Army and was unavailable to the civilian market. Light and durable, it was an all-terrain vehicle, and could be driven in six foot six inches of water! The Champ was powered by the Rolls-Royce four cylinder, 2 ¼ litre engine, producing 75bhp and giving a top speed of 60mph.
We understand that this example is furnished with radio communication equipment, shovels, ropes and jerry cans etc… It is thought to have been decommissioned in 1966 and was a battalion commander's vehicle. The Champ became part of the Patrick Collection from 1985 until 2004.
Supplied with the vehicle is the V5C registration certificate, various MOT test certificates and servicing data etc…

299. 1926 PEUGEOT TYPE 172 QUADRILETTE 719CC TWO SEATER VOITURETTE
Registration Number: Unregistered
Chassis Number: X3060
Engine Number: 4739
Peugeot's attractive Quadrilette, an Edwardian cyclecar manufactured through the 1920's, catered for a market in France in exactly the same way that the Austin 7 did in Britain. The earlier models were driven by a three speed gearbox and powered by a 668cc, four cylinder side valve engine which produced just 6.2hp.
This example, a compact left hand drive two seater, is finished in red with black wings and has brass fittings, including the radiator surround, headlamp rims and windscreen frame. The interior has black pleated upholstery and cocoa matting. The motor car has a 51x88mm bore and stroke engine, which was introduced for the 172 in 1926. It is also equipped with a Zenith carburettor and 19" wire wheels.
Documentation included in the file should assist in obtaining a suitable replacement registration number.
The Voiturette has been the subject of an older restoration, and carries the restorer's plate: Jean Messain Ets. Sabattier of Montereau.

300. 1914 CADILLAC FOUR 50HP TOURER
Registration Number: DS 8446
Chassis Number: A2238
Engine Number: A2238
Marketed as 'The Standard of the World', the Cadillac Four, a powerful 6 litre, four cylinder Tourer, was possibly the most sophisticated American motor car of 1914. The company produced the model with such modern innovations as electric starting and lighting, and a unique electric two-speed rear axle, which effectively produced six forward speeds, together with automatic ignition advance and retard, an electrically heated carburettor and a practical fold-away steering wheel.
This example was part of the well-known Clive Unsworth collection. The Cadillac is finished in black with matching buttoned upholstery and is equipped with its original brass headlamps, nickel electric side lamps and detachable wheel rims with varnished wooden spokes.
The file includes correspondence, invoices, old MOT test certificates, a copy manual of care and operation, an original manual and the V5C registration certificate.

301. 1925 CITROEN TYPE C 'CLOVERLEAF' TOURER
Registration Number: YK 2591
Chassis Number: 47120
Citroen first introduced the Type C in 1922. It became a popular choice, due to its practical design and longevity - the Citroen was powered by a four cylinder 856cc sidevalve engine, which was not renowned for speed.... The motor car acquired various names during the few years that it was produced: 'Petit Citron' referred to the fact that at the start of production, the Type C was only available in yellow; '5CV' was due to its French tax rating, and the anglicised 'Cloverleaf' pointed to its two-plus-one seating. The model was also the first to be built at Citroen's first foreign factory, at Slough, which opened in 1926.
This right hand drive example was purchased new from the Citroen Vehicle Emporium, Turnham Green, West London. The motor car has been the subject of an older restoration, including a repaint and retrim. The cylinder head gasket was also renewed, the carburettor overhauled and the magneto replaced by a coil ignition.
The Type C is supplied with the original registration book and the V5C registration certificate.

302. 1937 ROLLS-ROYCE 25/30 ABBOTT LIMOUSINE
Registration Number: BOU 616
Chassis Number: GWN 33
Engine Number: R123N
The publicity claimed Rolls-Royce to be 'The Best Car in the World', and certainly, they did produce some fine motor cars. Royce built his first model in 1904. He merged with C S Rolls in 1906, and following a successful period of manufacturing, the company then bought Bentley in 1931. The Rolls - Bentley era produced some of Britain's most magnificent motor cars, being superbly made and proportioned.
This handsome 25/30 example was supplied new on the 16th December 1936 to the Hon. Geoffrey Parsons, son of the fourth Earl of Rosse, chairman of Parsons Steam Turbine Company Ltd. Its subsequent history is not recorded, but it has been in the present ownership for a number of years and has been the subject of some restoration.
The coachwork, with its practical rear luggage trunk, is smartly liveried in blue over cream and the rear compartment has been re-upholstered in grey cloth and features forward facing occasional seats.
The motor car is supplied with a number of MOT test certificates and the V5C registration certificate.

303. 1949 SUNBEAM-TALBOT 80 CONVERTIBLE COUPE
Registration Number: JBY 982
Chassis Number: 2803369HCO
The Sunbeam-Talbot was essentially a more luxurious, fast touring version of the Hillman and Humber models. Produced in London from 1938 until 1945, the company then moved to Ryton in 1946. After 1954, the Sunbeam-Talbot name disappeared from the Rootes Group titles.
The new '80' of 1948 was a modern and attractive sporting motor car, with clean lines, which went on to become a rally legend.
This convertible coupe version appears to be very sound and solid. It is supplied with a large history, containing the original handbook, the V5C registration certificate, numerous MOT test certificates, old tax discs, a large quantity of invoices, a parts list, a sales brochure and correspondence.
Careful re-commissioning may be appropriate following museum storage.

304. 1930 DENNIS 30CWT DROP-SIDE LORRY
Registration Number: RV 6000
Chassis Number: 53161
Dennis brothers Limited was founded by brothers John and Raymond in 1895, who began by producing bicycles which they sold in their Guildford shop. Their first proper motor car appeared in 1901, powered by a De Dion engine, swiftly followed by their first bus in 1903 and fire engine in 1908. Manufacturing of commercial vehicles took precedence, and it is likely that motor car production ceased after 1915.
Introduced in 1925, the 30cwt became one of the company's most successful models. Dennis's own four cylinder engine powered the commercial, and in 1927, the model was upgraded to a four wheel braking system and four speed gearbox, producing a practical and popular vehicle.
This fine example was restored by Mr K Brunt of Chertsey during the 1980's. The current custodian purchased the Lorry at a Bonhams auction sale in 2008.

305. 1911 BUICK MODEL 39 TOURER
Registration Number: DS 8614
Chassis Number: 91
Engine Number: 93
David Dunbar Buick was a Scottish industrialist but an unlikely motor manufacturer. He made his mark by inventing a process to anneal porcelain to steel in the production of bathtubs. He then invested his profits into the horseless carriage and in 1903, his first motor car was produced. This first model was a simple small chain driven runabout with flat-twin power and featured over-head valves - a rarity at that time which was to become the Buick hallmark from there on.
In 1904, Buick moved from Detroit to Flint, Michigan, where it came under the control of William Durant. In 1908, Durant formed General Motors, with Buick as the foundation company. Six cylinders arrived in 1914 and were the only type offered by Buick until 1930.
This fine restored Model 39 Tourer features four doors, seating for five people, wooden artillery type wheels, rear wheel brakes, a steel plate clutch (which runs in oil) and a powerful four cylinder 5.2 litre engine.
The file includes the V5 registration document, important technical data, photographs in a bound book, copies of Buick history, a copy parts list and information book, and Buick models data.

306. 1922 ARROL-JOHNSTON 15.9HP 'THE ONE DOOR' TOURER
Registration Number: DL 2560
Chassis Number: 3701
Arrol-Johnston, one of Scotland's early motor manufacturers, often produced unconventional models. The first came in the successful form of the Model 10 Dogcart in 1898, which was equipped with an opposed-piston, flat-twin 10 horse power engine. Several models then followed, with four cylinder and 23 horse power, six cylinder engines.
This car was a "special" and was supplied to order by a lady on the Isle of Wight.
Originally a special and supplied to order for a lady on the Isle of Wight, this rare 'One Door' Tourer was based at Penman Engineering, Coachbuilders of Dumfries, who restored DL 2560 for the Dumfries Octo-centenary celebrations in 1986; the Penman Works were in fact just half a mile away from the original Arrol-Johnston factory at Heathhall. The motor car has also been part of the Sword Collection and in the early Nineties, it was purchased by a Mr Bob Dixon.
We understand that while in the care of the Penman's, the Arrol-Johnston was used and rallied by the works supervisor, Mr Ian Gray, who estimated the top speed of about 38mph from the 2613cc engine.
This important Scottish vintage motor is supplied with the V5C registration certificate and publications with references to the car.

307. 1906 DELAGE TYPE F3 6½ HP TWO SEATER VOITURETTE
Registration Number: Unregistered
Chassis Number: 349
Engine Number: 22529
Louis Delage manufactured motor cars at his Courbevoie-sur-Seine factory from 1905, where he built his De Dion Bouton powered, lightweight Voiturette. Having been formally employed by Peugeot and Turgan-Foy, he recognised the role of motor racing in raising his own company's profile, and thus successfully entered his popular Delage Voiturettes into many competitions, securing his prominence in pre and post Great War years. In England, the early 6 ½ hp models were marketed in London under the name Friswell.
Early single cylinder examples are extremely rare. This Type F3 is an attractive model, having been the subject of an older restoration. It is a racing Voiturette, with individual buckets seats, no mudguards, P&H acetylene side lamps, and is finished in French Racing Blue. The upholstery is in buttoned back black leather.
With its engine driving through a cone clutch and three speed gearbox, this Delage certainly has the potential to successfully compete in Veteran Car Club rallies.

308. 1927 WINDSOR 10.4HP 2 SEATER WITH DICKEY
Registration Number: KA 6696
Chassis Number: X-813
Engine Number: 1101
The sales brochure of the Windsor 10.4hp, manufactured by James Bartle & Co Ltd of Lancaster Road, London, stated that the car was designed to 'meet the demand of the motoring connoisseur'. It was a quality produced motor car, built to a high standard, but sold at a moderate price and economical to run.
This rare example, believed to be one of just three in existence, was purchased by Mr George Milligan in 1996 when he was almost ninety years old. He then set about restoring the Windsor, which he completed in six months, at an enormous cost and to an excellent standard. The car was purchased from the late George E Milligan collection at the 2004 Bonhams Goodwood sale and then displayed in the Brading Museum.
The engine compartment reveals engineering at its best; an overhead valve engine with a four speed gearbox, all finished to an exacting specification.
The history file includes correspondence, invoices, DVLA copies of registration books, photocopies of factory sales literature, an instruction book, road test reports, a vehicle survey report dated 22.11.1996, the V5C registration certificate and an original Windsor Cars sales brochure.

309. 1952 BRISTOL 401 SPORTS SALOON
Registration Number: 112 UXH
Chassis Number: 401/1155
The Bristol Aeroplane Company began to manufacture motor cars in 1947 with an anglicised version of the pre-war BMW 327. Bristol Cars was formed in 1960 and is one of the few British car makers still in existence today.
The first model, the '400', looked very much like a BMW - which really it was: a hand-made BMW based saloon with wind tunnel derived aerodynamics.
Then followed the '401'; this model had a body made by Touring of Italy, which consisted of alloy panels over a steel tube frame, powered by a six cylinder 1971cc OHV engine. These same units were used by Cooper, Frazer Nash and AC, and were also based on the pre-war BMW units.
We understand that this example has been in the care of four previous custodians and is supplied with the V5C registration certificate, the old V5 document, several past MOT test certificates, invoices and an original 403 instruction manual.
This vehicle has a current MOT and will be driven to the sale.

310. 1913 CLEMENT BAYARD TYPE CB1 12HP TOURER
Registration Number: Unregistered
Chassis Number: 19535
Engine Number: 1953
As with many car manufacturers, Adolphe Clement began his automotive career by producing bicycles. His early cars were powered by the De Dion Bouton engine. In 1913, four models were produced, ranging from 8 to 14hp, all powered by four cylinder monobloc engines. Clement Bayard was sold to Andre Citroen in 1922.
This 12hp, right hand drive, four seater example was part of a collection at Aalholm in Denmark and then sold in 1994. Since that time, the car has also been exhibited at the Dutch National Motor Museum.
The distinctive motor car has a three speed gearbox and is furnished with brass fittings, including a double twist bulb horn, Ducellier acetylene headlamps (powered by a running board mounted generator), and Phares Besnard oil side lamps.

311. 1921 FORD MODEL TT LORRY
Registration Number: SV 6671
Chassis Number: 1063253
Based on the Ford Model T, the Model TT Lorry was equipped with a heavier chassis frame and rear axle and was often sold as a chassis alone, with the buyer supplying or building a body as required. Mass production of the Lorry complete with body ran from 1925 until 1927.
This beautiful example has had a 'nut and bolt' restoration, which included the building of a new cab and body, both to concours standard. Many awards have been won as a result, including the 2003 Trans Pennine Rally.
The V5C registration certificate is supplied with the vehicle.

312. 1913 SWIFT 7HP TWIN-CYLINDER TWO-SEATER CYCLECAR
Registration Number: FP 372
Chassis Number: C368
Engine Number: E2133
Writing in 1911, 'Kuklos' (or W Fitzwater Wray), the cycling and motoring correspondent of the Daily News, said of the single cylinder Swift: " The Swift Motor Co Ltd can honestly claim to have been the pioneers in this country of the small car movement….. Their 7hp two seater is a beautiful example of the best work of the modern locomotive engineer, and there are few such clean and thoughtful specimens of his work as the power unit of this muscular motorkin".
The single cylinder 7hp car was replaced for the 1912 season by the twin cylinder Swift Cyclecar, which was exhibited at the Olympia Cycle and Motor Cycle Show that year.
Powered by a 972cc engine, the new Swift sported more modern advances such as thermo-syphon cooling, magneto ignition, leather-to-metal clutch, three forward and reverse speeds and a live rear axle.
This example was first registered in Rutland in 1913. The motor car has been museum displayed for some forty years, having been acquired by a collector in 1969, and again by its current custodian in 2004.
This attractive light Edwardian, eligible for the prestigious Veteran Car Club 'Singles and Twins' events, is finished in green with black wings, wire wheels and brown leather upholstery. The car is equipped with brass acetylene headlamps, a double twist bulb horn, a folding brass windscreen and a Stewart speedometer. It is supplied with a Veteran Car Club Dating Plate and rally plaques, which confirm activity in the VCC from 1958 - 1961.

313. C1934 SINGER NINE SPORTS 4 SEATER
Registration Number: BHP 83
Chassis Number: TBA
Singer was one of the many British companies that originally produced bicycles. The Coventry factory made a three cylinder motor car under licence from Lea-Francis in 1905, and in 1906, the first genuine Singer arrived. Early cars had two, three and four cylinder engines; at the lower end of the range was the 1100cc Ten, and at the top was the 25hp, four litre model.
Post war, only smaller engines were produced, including the development of the well-known Junior and Senior models.
In 1932, the Nine Saloon came into being, together with the famous Le Mans sports cars, which used the overhead camshaft engine design.
It is understood that this pretty four seater Nine Sports version, was resident on the Isle of Wight from the late 1950's. Its then custodian was an aircraft engineer who, we are told, used the Singer in his courting days; during which time, he learnt about motor cars - and many other things besides!
Some time later it was acquired by the Isle of Wight Nissan dealer Dave Perkis, who carried out a complete restoration on the motor car. In 2000, the Singer was purchased for display in the Brading Museum.

314. 1910 ARMSTRONG-WHITWORTH 18/22 HP THREE-QUARTER LANDAULETTE WITH COACHWORK BY MAYTHORN
Registration Number: CD4627
Chassis Number: 227
Engine Number: 22-090
Before the First World War, sixteen different models of the Armstrong-Whitworth were produced from the Newcastle-Upon-Tyne factory. Early models were the 28/36 of 1907, followed by 30 and 40 horse-power versions. The company then produced a range of medium sized motor cars, but prior to the war, reverted back to manufacturing some extremely large vehicles, such as the 30/50. Post-war, Armstrong-Whitworth ceased to manufacture further models. The descendant of the marque was Armstrong-Siddeley.
It is understood that this elegant, Brighton registered, Three-Quarter Landaulette, with Maythorn of Biggleswade coachwork, carried out duties as a hire car at Brighton Station.
In 1965, the motor car was purchased by Mr George Milligen from the Sword Sale for £1280. Restoration commenced in 1985. The engine was rebuilt by Arthur Archer; works included fitting separate-cast cylinders and increasing the bore sizes from 95mm to 102mm, producing a swept volume of 3.9 litres.
The current custodian purchased the Edwardian from the late George E Milligen Collection at the Bonhams Goodwood sale in 2004.
The V5C registration document is supplied with the motor car, together with a detailed drawing of the engine repair, correspondence, photographs, invoices and other documents.

315. 1914 RENAULT EK 9HP TWO SEATER WITH DICKEY
Registration Number: Unregistered
Chassis Number: 43060
Engine Number: 6215
Arriving in 1905, the Renault AX was a motor car of simple design. Powered by a twin cylinder engine driven through a three speed gearbox, the Renault was simple, robust and easy to drive. The EK followed, retaining the popular simplicity, but with a little more power.
This charming Edwardian is appointed with acetylene headlamps and Willocq & Bottin oil side lamps, powered by a running board mounted acetylene generator, together with a double twist bulb horn, a folding one piece windscreen, a hand-operated windscreen wiper, a Stepney wheel and a 'park bench' two-seat Dickey.
The twin cylinder engine is fitted with a later magneto and Lavalette magneto.
The supplier's plate states that the motor car was supplied by Christy & Medeces of Avenue Saxe of Lyon; the original coachwork is by Lafond & Nicholas.
The file contains photographs recording the Renault's discovery and acquisition as one of the first cars of the Lips Collection.

316. 1964 HILLMAN HUSKY - FORMALLY BELONGING TO SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL
Registration Number: BLC 989B
Chassis Number: B2106612
Despite being a humble Hillman Husky, a 1960's runabout and workhorse, BLC 989B has a history that many a more notable motoring name would be proud of.
The motor car's first owner was the Rt. Hon. Sir Winston Churchill, who acquired the Husky new on the 24th July 1964 and registered it in his name at his address of Hyde Park Gate in London.
Following Sir Winston's death in 1965, the Husky passed to Baroness Spencer-Churchill, who used the car at Chartwell, near Westerham, Kent, until 1966.
Little is known of the subsequent history of the motor car, until it was found in a farmyard near Redhill, Surrey, by the Jersey Motor Museum in 1984. Restoration followed, and great care was taken to retain the originality of the car.
The Husky has an extensive history file which includes correspondence, invoices detailing the aforementioned restoration, photographs, photocopies of the original registration book and the V5C registration certificate.
This lot also includes a waxwork figure of Sir Winston Churchill in traditional pose holding a cigar.

317. 1905 MASS 8HP TWO SEATER
Registration Number: LC 5670
Engine Number: 18097
Mass motor cars were built in Courbevoie, Seine, for the English market and took their name from their importer, Mr Masser-Horniman. From 1912, it was sold in its homeland under the name of its manufacturer, Pierron.
Initially, there were only single cylinder versions of the 4 ½ hp and 6hp models, but in 1905, two and four cylinder versions arrived. From 1907 and up until the Great War, the range became more advanced.
This example was found in the 1950's by John Jarvis, having been left in a garage in Highgate by its then owner since before the First World War. Since its rediscovery, the Mass has been part of the collection of the late John Ahern. Correspondence in the history file confirms that it was also part of the Patrick Collection up until 1996.
Now in restored condition, this attractive Edwardian motor is finished in blue with black wing,s has black leather upholstery and is complete with a beige double duck hood, brass radiator, rear mounted spar and side lighting. It is thought to be the sole surviving example of the marque.
The aforementioned vast history file includes important data and history notes, photographs, the V5C registration certificate, and a VCC Dating Certificate No. 652, dated 12th June 1957.

318. 1913 MITCHELL TOURER
Registration Number: AY 2838
Chassis Number: 31286
Engine Number: 31454
The Mitchell Company was initially known as the Wisconsin Wheel Works. Bicycle production advanced into a 1.75hp motorcycle in 1901 and experimental motor cars followed in 1903. With the new product, the company changed its name to the Mitchell Motor Car Company in 1904. These early models were twin-cylinder, chain driven runabouts; four-cylinder, shaft driven, water-cooled models then followed.
We understand that this beautifully restored example was owned by a Royal Flying Corps Officer, understood to be Alistair Miller, who used it as his personal transport in 1915/16. This is recorded in a letter (in the history file) dated 10.10.1979, from Mr W Boddy, the then editor of the Motor Sport magazine.
The history file also includes a copy of the VCC Certificate of Dating, dated 5.5.1976, together with the V5C registration certificate, correspondence, photographs of the car prior to the restoration and details of the restoration process, and a 1913 Mitchell Motor Cars sales brochure copy. A car sale invoice dated 18.5.1994 is also included, showing the cost of the Mitchell as £25,000.
This powerful 6 ½ Litre Edwardian motor car is equipped with electric lights and starter.
