Motorcycles and Cars Starting at 2.00pm

1 A 1972 MG B GT, registration number KJB 4L, chassis number GHD5-290028G,

engine number 18V847F-H1574, teal blue. The evergreen MG B was launched in

1962 with the fast back GT version joining it in 1965. This GT has been in the

current ownership for the past seven years, and during that time a detailed log of

all maintenance and expenditure has been kept. The coachwork is finished in teal

blue and the front seats are faced in black leather. The engine has been converted

to run on unleaded petrol. The four speed gearbox is fitted with overdrive on third

and fourth gears and the current owner has fitted optional extras, comprising rear

fog lamps, twin air horns and rear seat belts to aid safety. During the present

ownership the car has taken part in many classic car tours, shows and events and

has proved very reliable. Reluctantly, the car is only for sale due to the owners

recent ill health and must be sold. V5C, ***MOT to May 2012 (not May

2011)***, taxed to September 2011 See illustration Sold for £1600

2 A 1983 Land Rover Series III SWB, registration number DHP 485Y, chassis

number SALLBAA11AA184572, engine number 36127106. The ever popular

Landie has gone through several mechanical and cosmetic changes throughout its

production run, but has always been a rugged and purposeful off-road vehicle,

which is recognised worldwide. The Series III version was launched in 1971, in

both long (109 inch chassis) and short (88 inch chassis) wheel base forms, with

either two or four door body styles, and remained in production until 1985, when

the new 90 took over the reins. This 21/4 litre petrol engined Landie has recently

benefited from some mechanical overhauling, including a partial engine rebuild

with reconditioned cylinder head, one new piston and ring, and a full service. The

interior is fitted with grey cloth seats from Exmoor Trim, which are much more

comfortable than the standard items. There are free-wheel front hubs (which aid

economy and wear) and a tow bar and electrics fitted for towing duties.

Accompanying the car is a large history file with service and maintenance receipts

and old MOTs. The vendor informs us that the Land Rover is running well and is

only for sale so he can concentrate his efforts on his Series I project. V5C, MOT

to October 2011, taxed to September 2011 See illustration Sold for £1350

3 A 1934 Excelsior motorcycle. This recently restored bike is unregistered and has

chassis number SALLHAMM3HA477894, engine number 36D09007A, metallic

bronze. The classic Range Rover was launched in 1970 and evolved into the four

door version in 1981. The specifications have got more luxurious as the years

have progressed and this four door is no exception. This example has a cloth

interior, wood door cappings, electric windows and door mirrors, power assisted

steering and original three spoke alloy wheels. The current owner informs us that

the car drives very well and has covered limited miles in the last nine years. V5C,

MOT to February 2012, no current tax See illustration Sold for £820

Page 3: Charterhouse Results 17th July 2011

6 A 1984 BMW 320i two door saloon, registration number B188 GYJ, white. This

rare automatic two door 320i was first registered on 1st August 1984 to its first

owner and there has been one further keeper since. B188 GYJ is finished in white

with a blue cloth and vinyl interior, and has the full original tool kit. The car has a

current mileage of just under 66,000 miles, with documented history to

substantiate. The vendor informs us the car is original and in good condition.

V5C, ***MOT to August 2012 (not July)***, taxed to July 2011 See illustration

8 A 1960 Hillman Husky Estate, registration number 189 GBJ, chassis number

B2007145H-HSO, engine number B2007145. This rare Husky Estate, finished in

caramel/regency red, has been in the current ownership since 1978. During that

time the car has received regular repair and maintenance and recently an MOT.

There is a large history file accompanying the car with a detailed log of works

carried out, old MOT's and correspondence. RF60, V5C, MOT to June 2012, tax

exempt See illustration Sold for £1500

9 A 1971 Puch moped. This recently restored bike is unregistered and has no

accompanying paperwork See illustration Sold for £200

10 A 1977 Bentley T2, registration number BLH 330S. Finished in dark green with

tan hide interior. This T2 has been in long family ownership and has not been on

the road for some time. V5C, no current MOT or tax See illustration Sold for

£1900

11 A 1971 Morris Minor Traveller, registration number WAR 423J. This Traveller is

finished in a rare teal blue with a black interior. WAR 423J is fitted a 1098 cc

engine, has had new wood and is accompanied by a history file with receipts of

restoration. V5C, MOT to July 2012, tax exempt (taxed to June 2012) See

illustration Sold for £0

12 A 1982 Yamaha XJ750D motorcycle, registration number JRV 449X, frame

number 15R-018852, engine number 15R-018852, black. JRV 449X was

imported in 1998 and it has had two registered keepers since. The second and

current owner acquired the motorcycle in 1999. The XJ750 is equipped with a

DOAC inline four cylinder engine and has shaft drive. During the current

ownership the motorcycle has been MOT'd by Just Bikes of Shaftesbury. The

history file contains the old MOT's from 1999 and a Haynes workshop manual.

V5C, no current MOT or tax See illustration Sold for £950

13 A 1975 BMW 1602 two door saloon, registration number JFX 453N, chassis

number 3561166, engine number 3561166. This unusual 1602 is finished in white

with a blue interior and was purchased by its lady owner in 1978. Its first

registered keeper is recorded as George Robert Knapman of Salisbury. The

odometer indicates a mileage of approximately 126,000, and it has its original

radio, hand book and service history. The interior has been re-upholstered and

Page 4: Charterhouse Results 17th July 2011

new front wings have been fitted. The car was last on the road in 2003. V5C, no

current MOT or tax See illustration Sold for £920

14 A 1982 Triumph TR7, converted to a TR8, registration number OBV 3X, chassis

number SATTPADJ7AA407413, engine number 11A60722. Built in the last few

months of manufacture in 1981, this 1982 registered TR7 has had a full

conversion to TR8 specification. The work was carried out by leading TR8

specialists, S&S Preparations, at a cost of £7,500 in 2005. This upgrade included

the fitting of a rebuilt Rover SDI 3.5 litre V8 engine with Holley 390 carburettor

and A&N air filters, modified gear box mounting, a Kenlow fan, stainless steel

tubular manifolds, modified subframe and TR8 radiator. OBV 3X has been

repainted in MG Rover White Gold, replacing the original Cashmere Gold. In

2006 the current owner fitted a new hood with zip down rear window and wind

deflector, black leather seats, black interior and a walnut dashboard. The vendor

informs us that the current mileage of 76,600 can be warranted by the past

MOT's, which are contained in the history file, and since its last MOT in

November 2009 the car has only covered 1,900 miles. Although recently this

TR8 conversion has had little use, it is only being sold due to loss of garage space.

V5C, no current MOT, SORN See illustration Sold for £2400

15 A 1965 Bristol 408 Mk I, registration number HPF 399C, chassis number

4087063. The Bristol 408 was produced between 1963 and 1966 in Mk I & Mk II

versions. The 408 was the second model to incorporate the Chrysler V8 engine in

the Bristol model range. The 407, the 408's predecessor, was a first, and was a

major departure from previous Bristol models, which had always used their own

six cylinder engines. HPF 399C, a Mk I version, was first registered on 13th

April 1965 and was finished with grey coachwork and grey leather interior. The

current custodian has prepared the bodywork for the final top coat of paint. At

present the chassis has been repaired and repair sections have been welded into

the inner wheel arches and other panels. The body has received coats of etch

primer and a guide coat for final flatting down before the application of the top

coats of paint. The leather interior appears in quite good condition and would

respond favourably to a good clean and feed. The vendor informs us that HPF

399C is running with an oil pressure of 35/40 psi when warm and has uprated

front brakes supplied by Coopercraft. This exciting and rare barn find restoration

project (83 Mk I & Mk II 408s were manufactured) now offers the next owner an

opportunity to finish the restoration at their own pace, benefiting from having had

a lot of the hard work and expense already carried out. V5C, no current MOT or

tax See illustration Sold for £2700

16 EXTRA LOT: A 1975 Honda CD175 Motorcycle, registration number JPK

909N, frame number CD175-3046737, engine number CD175-E-3050025, blue.

This Honda would appear in very original condition and has been in storage for a

number of years, with the last MOT expiring in 1998. V5C, no MOT or tax See

illustration Sold for £0

17 EXTRA LOT: A 1955 Ford Consul, registration number TYB 602, chassis

number EOTA178925, engine number EOTA178925, green. This very original

Consul with a tan vinyl interior with require recommissioning after several years

of dry storage. V5C, no current MOT or tax Sold for £1500

Page 5: Charterhouse Results 17th July 2011

18 EXTRA LOT: A 1974 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow I, registration number RLJ

334M, chassis number SRH17819, engine number 17819, two-tone blue. This

running and driving Silver Shadow will require restoration after many years of

dry storage. V5C, no current MOT or tax Sold for £1700

19 WITHDRAWN: A 1978 MG B Roadster, registration number UPA 437S, chassis

number GHN5-452299G, engine number 13B847-20174. This MG B Roadster

had a comprehensive restoration during the 90's. The work included new sills,

castle sections, full re-spray, engine rebuild with new piston rings, conrods and

re-conditioned unleaded cylinder head, overhauled carburettors, rebuilt front and

rear suspension, new front and rear brakes with new discs and rear shoes, new

hood, black interior, stainless steel exhaust and door and window seals. The car

has covered a believed genuine 84,000 miles from new and only 1,000 in the last

thirteen years as verified by the old MOT's. There is an extensive history file with

receipts and old MOT's. V5C, MOT to July 2012, no current tax See illustration

Sold for £0

20 A 1957 Morris Minor two door saloon, registration number NMO 743, chassis

number FBP11/488258, engine number N46258. This saloon is finished in the

rare Morris Minor colour of pale ivory with maroon interior and fitted a 948 cc

engine. V5C, MOT to April 2012, tax exempt (taxed to March 2012) See

illustration Sold for £0

21 A 1967 Sunbeam Alpine Mk 5, registration number LJB 20E. This Alpine will

make a great car when the restoration is completed. A previous owner striped the

original body shell and acquired a rust free Californian imported body and

stripped the shell to bare metal. It was then professionally re-sprayed in red. He

then swapped the engine and running gear into the newly painted shell. The inner

panels still have the original welds clearly visible. There is a new dashboard and

all the original interior to refit. The car runs and drives under its own steam and

sits on Minilite alloy wheels. With most of the hard work already done, this

exciting project will be a very straight forward restoration to complete. V5C, no

current MOT or tax See illustration Sold for £0

22 A 1976 Mini Clubman, registration number SGN 237R, chassis number XL2W2-

386629A, engine number 99HA9AP102132. The Sir Alec Issigonis designed

Mini was launched in 1959 just at the dawn of the swinging sixties and was to

become a British icon of that period. Starring in the British classic film The

Italian Job, and it became a celebrity accessory adopted by pop stars and film

stars alike. This low mileage and original Mini has covered a believed 55,000

miles from new. Finished in blue with a blue velour interior carrying the rare

option of automatic transmission. There is a good history file accompanying the

Mini with past MOTs and service receipts. These small estate cars make very

practical classic cars which are capable of everyday use. V5C, MOT and taxed to

September 2011 See illustration Sold for £0

23 A 1974 Morris Marina Camper Van, registration number WYC 437M. This

charming Morris Marina was converted by Suntour into a very rare and practical

camper van with all home comforts. These include a pop up roof to aid head

room, storage cupboards, gas grill and two rings (with spare gas bottles), a double

bed (which converts from the rear seats) and even the kitchen sink. This very

Page 6: Charterhouse Results 17th July 2011

original camper does not currently have an MOT or tax, but is running and

driveable. She has been in dry storage for a few years and will require a light

recommissioning to gain an MOT. V5C, ***MOT to July 2012, no current

tax*** See illustration Sold for £1000

24 A 1962 Hillman Minx Series III C Saloon, registration number JJK 283, chassis

number BO212467H-HSO, engine number BO212467H-HSO. This well

presented Minx Saloon is finished in grey with a red leather interior. JJK 283

benefits from having electronic ignition, new clutch, new head gasket and valves,

rear shocks and a recommissioned starter motor. The mileage of approximately

80,000 miles is supported by old MOTs contained in the history file which also

includes numerous repair bills. V5C, MOT to February 2012, taxed to April 2012

See illustration Sold for £1964.28

25 A 1966 Jaguar Mk II 3.4, registration number FOF 338D, chassis number

170463DN, engine number KJ8903-8, body number EO65468. Jaguar announced

its new compact sports saloon at the end of 1955, the first lucky customers taking

delivery in 1956. The Mk II version became available in October 1959 with 2.4,

3.4 and 3.8 XK engine options. FOF 338D was supplied by Henley's of London

on 11th February 1966 to its first custodian, the Dunlop Rubber Co-Ltd, St James,

London, SW1. A very desirable manual overdrive example, FOF 338D is

finished in dark blue which complements the grey leather interior. There is a full

and comprehensive history documenting maintenance and restoration. This

includes service history with Henley's until 1972, service vouchers, handbooks,

correspondence, specialist receipts, MOT's from 1969, tax discs from February

1967 and details of a bare metal rebuild by Southern Classics in 1994, which was

done just prior to the current ownership. During the present ownership, the

Jaguar has been maintained to an extremely high standard with no expense

spared. Recent improvements include a Kenlow fan, high torque starter motor, a

stainless steel exhaust, power assisted steering, Cooper Craft disc brakes

conversion, chrome wire wheels with new tyres and a Moto-lita wood rim

steering wheel. The vendor informs us that FOF 338D has been extremely

reliable, completing several Continental tours, performing faultlessly. This

beautifully prepared and fettled example of the iconic Mk II is ready for the next

owner to enjoy as it has been correctly maintained. V5C, MOT to June 2012, tax

exempt (taxed to November 2011) See illustrations Sold for £17500

26 A 1948 Jowett Bradford CB Light Van, registration number GOT 244, chassis

number D8CB15827, engine number D8CB15827. The Jowett Motor

Manufacturing Company was founded by William and Benjamin Jowett in 1904,

making their first car in 1906. They were initially based at Back Burlington

Street in Bradford but moved to the Springfield Works on Bradford Road in Idle

after WWI, when the name of the company changed to Jowett Cars Ltd. Various

models were produced between the wars, using their flat twin and flat four

engines including the Kestrel, Seven, Weasel and Ten. After WWII the two

cylinder engines were discontinued from the car range but continued in the

commercials in 1005 cc form until production ceased in 1953. GOT 244 was first

registered in Southampton on 20th August 1948. Little of its early history is

known until 1966, when the van was owned by a Mr John Henry Woolford of

Page 7: Charterhouse Results 17th July 2011

Swindon. The next owner, Mr Anthony Turner, discovered the van in a Swindon

scrap yard in 1975 and after some initial small repairs used it as his every day

transport for many years. There were subsequently three further owners until the

current owner acquired the vehicle in 2009. The attractive maroon body was built

by Briggs Motor Bodies Ltd of Dagenham, which complements the brown

interior. GOT 244 has obviously been restored in the past but unfortunately there

isn't any supporting history. The vendor informs us that GOT 244 performs very

well on today's roads and returns excellent fuel economy. Accompanying the van

are an owner's handbook, spares manual, some old MOT's, maintenance receipts

and RF60 continuation log book. With light commercials becoming increasingly

popular with enthusiasts, GOT 244 now offers the next owner an opportunity to

purchase a rare van, which would be welcomed at both commercial and classic

car events. V5C, MOT to July 2012 ***(awaiting MOT certificate)***, tax

exempt (taxed to June 2012) See illustrations Sold for £0

27 A 1975 BMW 320 automatic, registration number OBA 73P, chassis number

4260050. This BMW 320 is believed to be the oldest known right hand drive

survivor, leaving the Bavarian motor works production line in November 1975,

arriving at the Bridgwater BMW dealership where it was registered to first owner

in January 1976 and had the distinctive registration number CYB 1J. The second

owner purchased the car in 1978 and the current owner acquired it in 1997. At this

time the vendor re-sprayed the bonnet, ***the boot*** and the sides and carried

out local repairs to the B pillars. A new rear bumper centre section was fitted and

the wheels were refurbished. All other areas remained untouched and there were

just 66,000 miles on the clock. Since the initial refurbishment no further remedial

work has been necessary apart from regular servicing and replacement of

consumables. This extremely original BMW still retains its original tool kit and

Blaupunkt radio. OBA 73P is finished in blue with a vinyl interior. The history

file contains the owner's handbook, radio manual, a four page article featuring this

car in Total BMW (September 2003) and some service history. For the BMW

collector this must be a wonderful opportunity to purchase a three series with

continuous history and the added cachet of being believed to be the oldest known

survivor. V5C, MOT to October 2011, ***taxed to August 2011 (not October

2011)*** See illustrations Sold for £0

28 EXTRA LOT: A 1965 BSA C15 Motorcycle, registration number GDT 929C,

frame number 47334, engine number C252829, black. This BSA C15 would

appear in very good condition for its age. GDT 929C was last on the road in 2008

and has been dry stored since. There is a good run of old MOTs and tax discs

back to 1997, which accompany the motorcycle. V5C, no MOT, on SORN See

illustration Sold for £1400

29 EXTRA LOT: A 1959 Vespa 150, registration number 147 UXC, frame number

VBA1T-31015, engine number VBA1M-31839, metallic blue. This rare Vespa

was restored by a previous owner to a very high standard. The scooter was last on

the road in 2010 and has been kept in dry storage since. V5C, no MOT, currently

on SORN See illustration Sold for £0

30 A 1980 Reliant Scimitar GTC automatic, registration number GOX 917W. The

stylish GTC four seat convertible version of the SE6 GT came onto the market in

Page 8: Charterhouse Results 17th July 2011

1980 and remained in production until 1986. There were a total of 442

production models made, making it the rarest of the Scimitars. This automatic is

in quite extraordinarily original condition, having been purchased by the current

owner in 1981 from the supplying dealer (original bill of sale on file) with just

over 1,000 miles on the clock, having been used as a demonstrator. The Scimitar

Owner's Club have informed the owner that they believe this GTC to be the most

original on the road today. The current mileage of less than 45,000 miles is

verified with MOTs. Finished in a very distinctive metallic antelope with a

contrasting fawn and saddle tan cloth and vinyl interior, the car further benefits

from other refinements such as electric windows, mirrors and aerial, power

assisted steering, stereo radio, stainless steel exhaust, double duck hood and an

extremely rare and desirable works hard top with heated rear window. This GTC

is in wonderful original condition and is a very practical and stylish four seat

convertible alternative to a Triumph Stag, Mercedes Benz SL or Saab, and with

its robust and relatively cheap Ford engine and running gear, it should be able to

be maintained to a high standard at a reasonable cost. V5C, MOT to June 2012,

taxed to October 2011 See illustrations Sold for £4000

31 A 1982 MG B Roadster, registration number JBK 8X, chassis number

GHN5487151, engine number 30173. The MG B was introduced in 1962 to

replace the MG A and was a modern design. It was quite a departure from

previous models as it had a monocoque body and not a separate chassis as used in

all other MG cars. A GT version was added to complement the roadster in 1965.

Production continued until 1980 and various cosmetic changes took place

throughout, the most visually obvious being the introduction of black rubber

bumpers and increased ride height from 1975. This particular rubber bumper MG

B is unusual as it was first registered in 1982, two years after production had

ceased. The body is finished in very bright Inca yellow, and the interior has

candy stripe orange and black upholstered seats fitted. The dashboard has been

upgraded with walnut veneers and there is also a wood-rim steering wheel fitted.

The engine benefits from having an unleaded cylinder head and the four speed

gearbox has overdrive, for more relaxed high speed motoring. Further

improvements include a stainless steel exhaust and painted wire wheels. There

are maintenance and repair bills for the last 10 years in the history file. This well

maintained MG B has been used by the current owner on a regular basis,

including commuting, and has always proved very reliable. He informs us that

the car is only for sale to enable the purchase of a vintage car to use in his

retirement. V5C, MOT to June 2012, taxed to October 2011 See illustrations

Sold for £2400

32 A 1959 MG A 1600 Mk I Roadster, registration number YFO 628, chassis

number GHNL74498. In 1955 MG launched the new aerodynamically styled MG

A in both roadster and fixed head coupé body styles, initially powered by the

1500 cc four cylinder engine. In 1962 the Mk II was introduced with disc front

brakes and engine capacity increased to 1600 cc. Alongside the standard cars, the

exotic twin cam engined car was available between 1958 and 1960, which was

sold in very small numbers and is very desirable today. This MG A Roadster was

originally a left hand drive car, which was exported to the west coast of America.

Page 9: Charterhouse Results 17th July 2011

It was imported from California in 1987 ***and was restored by the MG &

Austin Healey specialists, Murray-Scott-Nelson, then this MG A spent time in

Holland until it was imported into the UK in 1996 and converted to right hand

drive****. In the current ownership since 1996, YFO 628 has been maintained to

a high standard and enjoyed and used on a regular basis. YFO 628 is finished in

Chariot Red with a black leather interior. She is fitted with a double duck hood,

tonneau cover, cockpit cover and side screens. She is also fitted with an MG B

five bearing engine with unleaded cylinder head, three branch manifold, stainless

steel exhaust and 1¾ inch SU carburettors. For reliability, a digital electric fuel

pump and Kenlow fan are also fitted. In addition, to aid the luggage carrying

capacity (not a strong point with MG A's), there is a chrome luggage rack fitted.

There is a large history file accompanying the car, with restoration receipts,

photos of the restoration in progress, service bills, old MOTs, American title

papers and current maintenance receipts from Whitchampton Garage. ***The MG

A comes with some spares and accessories including two aero screens and cockpit

cover***. The vendor informs us that YFO 628 has been a joy to own and has

been extremely reliable during his ownership. V5C, ***MOT to August 2012

(not August 2011)***, tax exempt See illustrations Sold for £0

33 A 1927 Rolls Royce 20 hp Park Ward Tourer, registration number YT 7222,

chassis number GRJ36, engine number S91. Rolls Royce announced its new

small car in 1922, which was designed to meet the harsher economic climate of

the time. They were built with the owner/driver in mind, rather than the larger

luxurious 40/50 models, which were invariably chauffeur driven. Initially

available between 1922 and 1925 with the rear brake chassis and three speed

gearbox, this was subsequently improved from 1925 with the introduction of front

servo assisted brakes and four speed gearbox, both chassis configurations

employing the same 3127 cc six cylinder engines. Rolls Royce found the 20 hp

chassis very popular with clients and 2940 were sold between 1922 and 1929.

GRJ36, an extremely original four braked chassis car, retains its original Park

Ward tourer body, hood, interior, engine and running gear. The car has been in

the current family ownership since 1973. At the time of purchase the odometer

read 39,350 miles and between 1973 and 1989 mileage rose to 50,000 miles. In

1989 the car was put into dry storage where it remained until recently. GRJ36

was removed from hibernation earlier this year and a programme of

recommissioning has taken place to obtain a new MOT for the first time in over

twenty years. The bodywork is finished in light green over black with a beautiful

patented dark blue leather interior, black canvas hood, tonneau and hood cover.

The side screens are present, the rear passengers have the benefit of an Auster

screen to protect them when the hood is lowered and there is a side mounted spare

wheel, a large boa constrictor horn and rear trunk fitted. Such original and low

mileage Rolls Royces rarely come onto the market these days and as such are very

sought after by collectors. It is hoped that the next custodian will preserve GRJ36

in the same manner as the current owners have. RF60, V5, no current MOT, tax

34 A 1968 Jaguar 240, registration number TAB 16F, chassis number 152131DN,

engine number 7J2361-8, British Racing Green. Jaguar's 240 and 340 were the

Page 10: Charterhouse Results 17th July 2011

last throw of the dice for their compact saloon models, which were first seen in

1955 with the Mk I and subsequently metamorphosed into the Mk II from 1959.

TAB 16F has benefited from a substantial rebuild in recent years, including a bare

metal repaint in British Racing Green (photographs on file), new carpets, a re-

polished dashboard and door cappings, re-chromed bumpers, a new clutch and

flywheel and numerous other service items. The interior is finished in black

ambla, there is a four speed gearbox with overdrive fitted and she sits on steel

wheels with chrome embellishers. The history file contains maintenance and

restoration receipts, old MOT's, photographs of the bodywork restoration and a

photocopy of a previous V5. TAB 16F is now ready for the next custodian to

36 A 1998 Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing Anton Ostermeier Re-creation,

registration number 300 GWN. The iconic 300SL Gullwing made its debut in

1952 and was powered by a six cylinder three litre 215 bhp fuel injected engine.

The Gullwing was joined in time by a roadster version. The Gullwing also saw

great racing success with a win at Le Mans in 1952 and the SLR roadster version

won the 1955 Mille Miglia, driven by Stirling Moss with his co driver Dennis

Jenkinson. This Anton Ostermeier version of the iconic Gullwing is an authentic

re-creation built to exacting standards using modern Mercedes Benz 300 engine

and running gear. Finished in silver, with a beautifully trimmed full red leather

interior with the correct white tilt steering wheel. It further benefits from having

fitted luggage and a discreet stereo system. It is believed that it is the only known

example in the United Kingdom. The car has a full Mercedes service history

which confirms the odometer reading of 4,700 kilometres. With real Gullwings

now commanding over half a million pounds, this re-creation, which is virtually

indistinguishable from the real thing, offers the enthusiast the opportunity to

purchase a car with the presence and sensational looks of the original without any

of the inherent problems associated with an iconic car from the 1950s. V5C, MOT

41 A 1949 AC Buckland Sports Tourer, registration number MRO 353, chassis

number EL1632, engine number UMB1632W, white. The AC Motor Car

Company may well be best known for iconic models such as the Cobra and Ace,

but they also make saloon and touring cars of great quality, using their six

cylinder 2 litre engine, which went through various performance improvements

until 1963. The rare Buckland Sports Tourer was manufactured between 1948

and 1952. The chassis incorporated the six cylinder triple SU carburettored

engine and the aluminum and ash framed body was constructed by Buckland

Bodyworks, New Royston, Hertfordshire, and according to AC records, there

were only 84 manufactured. MRO 353 has a fascinating history. It was the car

used in the factory advertising, and appeared on the front cover of the Buckland

brochure. It was also the subject of a road test article in September 1952

Autosport magazine, where the journalist described the car as 'A 2 litre six

cylinder open car of all round merit and decided individuality'. The car was

purchased by the current owner in 1971, after a superficial restoration had been

abandoned. Fortunately, most of the original fittings had been retained, so a more

sympathetic restoration was carried out, and the car took to the road once again in

1972. Due to the owner being posted to Lossiemouth (Scotland) in 1973, MRO

353 was garaged and remained on blocks for the next 38 years. The intention was

to restore and re-commission the car as a retirement project, but owing to family

pressures and lack of an equipped workshop, the decision has been made to

reluctantly sell the car. During the rudimentary restoration in 1971, the engine

was overhauled, using new Thames Ditton supplied wet liners. Unfortunately,

traces of water were found in the oil, so another rebuild commenced and was

periodically revisited during the long lay-up, but never completed. The owner's

intention was to get an AC specialist to restore the engine with new parts, which

will be supplied with the car. To aid the restoration, the owner has amassed a

large quantity of very rare and scarce parts, including an engine sump, crank case,

cylinder head and rocker cover, valves, valve seats, a cylinder head and rocker

cover gasket seats, two starter motors, three carburettors, fuel pumps, water

Page 12: Charterhouse Results 17th July 2011

pumps, a gearbox, a set of front and rear wings, red leather seats and numerous

other useful items. MRO 353 now offers the next owner an exciting opportunity

to restore an historically important AC motor car, and when finished, it would be

eligible for numerous sporting events, as well as being a welcome sight at any

classic car show. V5, no MOT or tax See illustrations Sold for £10000

42 A 1997 Bentley Brooklands, registration number P834 PLO, chassis number

SCBZE20C3VCH59963, engine number 88364L410M/TTV. The Bentley

Brooklands was introduced in 1992 as the replacement for the previous Mulsanne

and Eight models. It was powered by a normally aspirated 6.75 litre V8 engine,

driven through a four speed automatic gearbox. This metallic royal blue car has

all the luxury one could ever wish for, with a sumptuous interior having grey

leather seats with dark blue piping, a grey leather headlining and dark blue wool

carpets edged in grey leather. The luxury fittings don't stop there for the lucky

passengers, as there are also electric windows, seats, air conditioning, cruise

control, CD stereo and other refinements at their finger tips. Accompanying the

car, which has travelled a believed 79,000 miles from new, are all the service

books, owner's handbooks, some service receipts and a good run of old MOT's.

These Bentleys now offer excellent value, having all the power and luxury of a

true gentleman's express for Ford Mondeo money, and this car would certainly

enhance any driveway. V5C, MOT to April 2012, taxed to September 2011 See

43 A 1933 Rolls Royce 20/25 Hooper Four Light Sports Saloon, registration number

AXF 11, chassis number GBA-29, engine number A-6-X. The trend for ever

heavier coachwork being employed on the 20 hp chassis of the late 1920's was

having a detrimental effect on performance. Rolls Royce's solution to the problem

was to increase the engine capacity from just over 3 litres to 3699 cc, which raised

the power output by 25 hp and the new 20/25 model was created. The 20/25

chassis was produced for seven years, and over that time Rolls Royce made many

improvements, including rises in the engine compression ratio in 1930 and 1932.

Also in 1932, synchromesh was introduced in third and fourth gears, and a one-

shot centralised lubrication system, thermostatically controlled radiator grill

shutters and an electric fuel gauge also appeared. The coachwork, as usual, was

executed by a coachbuilder of choice and in this case, the firm of Hooper was

chosen. GBA-29 has been in the same family ownership since 1954, and has a

fascinating and comprehensive history, which can be traced back to 1946. The

history includes a detailed log, kept since October of that year, outlining all

expenditure and maintenance carried out, with the mileage recorded at the same

time. The file mentions overseas motoring holidays, where GBA-29 was part of

the entourage. These include the 1969 20 Ghost Club tour of America, with a

detailed itinerary of the 1,900 mile tour, the 1975 20 Ghost Club tour of Norway,

describing the 1,643 miles covered, and its time in Monte Carlo, where it took

part in the Concourse de Elegance (number 17). In addition to the log, the vast

history file has numerous bills, correspondence, photographs (including the

original owner, Mr Henry S Frost, and a charming photograph of the car in Casino

Square) and a run of service and restoration records from McKenzie Guppy

starting in 1982 to the present day, detailing all expenditure totalling nearly

Page 13: Charterhouse Results 17th July 2011

£50,000 (including an engine rebuild for £18,000). As one would expect from a

car which has had such loving and caring ownership, GBA-29 is in excellent

condition. The coachwork is finished in black over green, there is a large sunroof

fitted to enjoy the summer sunshine, and the green leather interior is mostly

original apart from the green carpets and front seat bolsters. The engine ran very

smoothly when viewed, an electric fuel pump has been fitted to aid reliability

(original auto vac retained) and tool kits are all present and correct. Rolls Royce

with such long term ownership seldom come onto the market these days, and

when they do they offer not only a fabulous car, but a slice of social history.

45 A 1979 Porsche 911 SC Targa, registration number RGT 89V, chassis number

since 1963 when it was unveiled to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The

original design has seen a myriad of cosmetic and mechanical changes since then,

but the original outline shape still remains true to this day, showing testament to a

great design. This example has been with the current owner for a number of years

and has recently benefited from some refurbishment. The body work has been re-

sprayed in the original graphite grey, a colour that suits the car well. The black

leather interior has received localised repair to the driver's seat, and the seals on

the Targa roof and doors have all been replaced. There is a good history file

which accompanies the car, detailing continuous repair and maintenance, and old

MOT's. This 911, with its current MOT and tax, is ready for immediate use and

with its Targa roof the next owner can enjoy the rest of the summer sunshine.

tan leather interior. It was previously registered as 8055 BH and 491 JGK. The

current owner bought 77 ECH in 1981 when a bare metal restoration was

commenced (with photographic evidence), and finished a few years later. The car

was driven for only approximately 50 miles and placed into dry storage with its

last MOT expiring in 1997. The Jaguar now requires some recommissioning after

taking to the road once again. RF60, V5, ***MOT to July 2012, taxed to June

from home comforts. This 31 ft long gin palace on wheels has all the mod cons

one could ask for. The very original interior has a separate bedroom compartment

with twin beds that can be converted into a Queen size double. There is a

separate shower room, wash room with toilet and glamorous Hollywood style

vanity mirror. The kitchen area is equipped with a gas oven, hob and

fridge/freezer and the electrical equipment includes ice maker, Kenwood Chef,

cappuccino maker, toaster and food processor. The main seating area has a large

sofa which converts to a double bed, a swivel armchair and pull-out dining table,

which is stored under the sofa. The whole interior has central heating and dual air

conditioning. This home from home is powered by a 5.9 litre turbo charged diesel

engine, which is driven through an automatic gearbox. All of the electrical

equipment can be either run by the 6.5 kva generator or can be hooked up to

mains electric. The RV can be driven on a normal full driving licence, and would

make a great motor sport support vehicle or could just be your passport to the

subsequent Rolls Royce and Bentley models, right up to the modern Arnage. This

rare long wheel base version of the standard SII afforded the rear seat passengers

extra leg room, which appealed to both the family owner driver and the chauffeur

driven owner. LCC34 is finished in a discreet shade of Midnight blue, with a dove

grey leather interior. The car has been well maintained by its previous owners and

there is a good history file, with receipts from respected specialists including

Specialist Cars (South West) Ltd. This lovingly maintained gentleman's express

series being launched in 1961. This well maintained estate is fitted with every

extra that Rootes offered in 1966 and has its original 1725 cc engine. This Super

models from the early 1990's offer excellent value. With their inherent build

quality and style, they offer a great motoring experience without breaking the

bank. This metallic gold 300 SL is no exception having all the luxury goodies one

could ask for, including a full black leather interior, electric adjustable seats,

central locking, electric windows, electric mohair hood, power assisted steering

and many other refinements. Also, for the winter months, there is a factory hard

53 A 1979 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II, registration number LGH 745T, chassis

T1 Bentleys were first seen by the general public in 1965. They used the previous

S3's V8 6230 cc engine, which would be subsequently increased to 6750 cc for

the Shadow II and T2 models. This particular Silver Shadow II has been used

sparingly over the last 32 years, and has covered less than 37,000 miles. The

walnut coachwork is offset by a cream Everflex roof, which in turn complements

the cream and brown piped leather interior. A service history accompanies the car,

outlining maintenance and service works by Rolls Royce specialists including

Jack Barclay, and there is also reference to past owners, including the Qatar

Embassy. Silver Shadows which have such low mileage and service history offer

the ultimate in luxury and refinement. V5C, MOT to June 2012, taxed to July

54 A 1965 MG B Roadster, registration number CYA 208C, chassis number G-HN3-

52845, engine number H3643. The MG B was launched in 1962 and was the first

MG to utilise a monocoque structure rather than a separate chassis and body

which had always been employed with all previous MG models. This very

original Roadster is an early pull door handle model, which has had only four

owners from new, and has always resided in Somerset. The first owner was a Mr.

Lance Clark, a member of the Clarks shoe dynasty, who took delivery of the car

from Valley Motors, Bathpool, Monkton near Taunton in 1965. The second owner

was a manager with the Clarks shoe company, and third and fourth owners, who

have owned the car for the last 25 years were neighbours in the village of Long

Sutton. The coachwork is finished in a most attractive and rare iris blue. The

Page 16: Charterhouse Results 17th July 2011

interior is trimmed in black leather with blue piping and has a nice patina. She

also benefits from having a four speed gearbox with overdrive, full tonneau

cover, hood and a tow bar. There is a good history file accompanying the car with

past MOT and service history back to 1988 and the original passport to service

with three service stamps. Original early MG Bs are becoming increasingly rare

55 A 1959 MG A Mk I 1600 Roadster, registration number 6151 AR, chassis number

GHN/80735, black. The MG A was launched in 1955 with the new aerodynamic

styled body, which was a complete departure from the previous vintage styling of

the T series cars. Initially available with the 1489 cc engine, the MG A was

upgraded to 1588 cc engine in 1959, and disc brakes were employed on the front

wheels. As well as the standard models, MG produced a special twin cam version

which was in production for only two years between 1958-60 and is now

extremely rare and collectable. This beautiful original right hand drive Mk I 1600

Roadster was restored by the previous owner in 1979 and there is an album

detailing the initial restoration and subsequent fastidious maintenance for the next

25 years, with photographs and full detailed notes. The car was purchased by the

current owner from Beaulieu garage in 2006 and the same care and attention has

been lavished upon it, including a re-trimmed maroon leather interior. The coach

work is finished in black with a recently fitted grey hood by Marksdanes Ltd, the

interior is as good as new and there are red and black full tonneau covers fitted for

privacy and protection when the hood is not in use. The sparkling black

coachwork is offset by re-chromed bumpers and new chrome wire wheels and

tyres (a separate set of painted wire wheels accompanies the vehicle), also there is

a stainless steel luggage rack fitted to increase the limited luggage space. As

previously mentioned, the history file contains an album detailing the restoration

and maintenance up to 2004, service, restoration receipts incurred by the current

owner, old MOTs, MG magazine articles and a Heritage certificate. This

charming MG A has been maintained to a very high standard and would be a

worth while inclusion to any car collection, and is only for sale so the vendor can

The Mercedes Benz coupés from the 1990's are extremely well built and with

their windows fully wound down and the sun roof open, are the next best thing to

a full convertible. This particular 500 SEC has covered a believed genuine 37,000

miles from new and has always been fastidiously maintained. The coachwork is

finished in metallic light blue and the interior is trimmed in cream leather. All the

usual luxuries are present including electric windows, seats, mirrors and sun roof,

front and rear headrests, cruise control and even the unused first aid kit. As one

where Bentley had five victories between 1924 and 1930. 92 EYY is finished in

the most attractive light oyster metallic coachwork. The interior is trimmed in

58 WITHDRAWN: A 1969 Porsche 911T RSR recreation, registration number OPV

192, chassis number 119100305, engine number 6210098. The 1973 RSR is the

wide body full fat race version of the iconic RS and holds a special place in

Porsche history as it was the first homologation of a production car. This RSR

recreation has been based on a 1969 911T, which was first registered in

September of that year and its original colour was red. A comprehensive

restoration and recreation has been carried out, with the body stripped of paint and

RSR wide metal wheel arches, bumpers and whale tail incorporated into the body.

The body was then fully repainted in white and new RSR decals were applied.

The 2.4 litre engine was rebuilt with new pistons and rings, decoked heads, lapped

valves, lightweight racing flywheel, triple racing clutch plate, twin triple 38 mm

carburettors. The running gear incorporated new Bilstein shock absorbers,

uprated front brakes with S type calipers and discs, 915 gearbox with quick shift,

and the repositioning of the oil cooler to the front fender (a modification which

ensures much cooler engine running). The interior has been stripped of all

equipment and superfluous weight and incorporates a fully FIA compliant

welded-in roll cage, Cobra bucket seats, four point race harnesses, lightweight

door cards with leather door pulls, passenger fire extinguisher and lightweight

carpets. The history file contains photographs and a CD of the restoration in

progress, receipts and general information. The subject of many hours of

restoration, this RSR recreation would make a brilliant track day or hill climb car,

but unlike a lot of recreations, because of its original 1969 build date, it would

make an excellent starting point for an historic FIA group 4 racing car. With most

of the performance, all of the looks, and a fraction of the price of a real Porsche

RSR, the next owner is offered a lot of bang for their buck. V5C, MOT and taxed

visually similar stable mate, the Ford Consul. Production of the Mk I Zephyr

began in February 1951 and ran until April 1956, when the Mk II became

available. The Zephyr VI was available in three body styles: four door saloon, the

Page 18: Charterhouse Results 17th July 2011

estate version by Abbotts of Farnham, and the two door convertible with electric

hydraulic powered hood manufactured by Carbodies of Coventry. All of the

Zephyr and the up market Zodiac models were powered by the 2262 cc straight

six engine, producing over 60 bhp, which enabled the cars to travel at speeds

exceeding 80 miles per hour. RYU 170, a very rare convertible version, finished

in striking two tone coachwork of maroon over cream with a contrasting maroon

white piped leather interior and maroon soft top (which rises very smoothly at a

the touch of a button), is also a star of the big screen having been used in the film,

Dance with a Stranger. The current owner purchased the car in 2002 from Neil

Tee, a well known character in Ford Zephyr/Ford Zodiac circles. Since owning

the car he has re-built the engine with hardened valves and fitted a break servo

and six branch exhaust manifold. RYU 170 also has a manual overdrive gearbox

and a full tonneau cover for privacy and protection when the hood is lowered.

There is a large history file accompanying the vehicle with numerous receipts,

including the recent engine rebuild, general maintenance and repair bills. This

Ford convertible, from the golden age of rock and roll, is ready for the next owner

to enjoy and would be welcome at numerous shows including the prestigious

Goodwood Revival. V5C, MOT to January 2012, taxed to December 2011 See

62 A 1950's Lagonda 2 1/2 litre drop head coupé, Swedish registration number BJC

606. The post WWII Lagonda saloon and drop head coupés share the same 2.6

litre straight six double overhead camshaft engine with its stable mate the Aston

Martin DB 2/4. This rare drop head coupé has been in dry storage for a number of

years, having its engine rebuilt to 3 litre specification by the well known and

respected Aston Martin and Lagonda engineer Ray Buckley, at a cost of nearly

£40,000, with a new aluminium cylinder head and crankshaft. The elegant

coachwork is finished in Old English white. There is a black mohair hood and

hood cover, which is offset by nicely patinated original blue leather seats and door

cards. The car also has the desirable floor gear change instead of the usual column

change. With its freshly rebuilt engine the car will require a programme of re-

commissioning and a new MOT. The new owner of this desirable Lagonda will

have to register the car in the UK and once this has been completed, the original

Swedish number plates and a copy of the V5C and the new MOT are required to

be returned to the Swedish owner so the car can be removed from the Swedish car

Page 19: Charterhouse Results 17th July 2011

register. With contemporary Aston Martin convertibles now commanding six

figure sums, this drop head coupé Lagonda represents tremendous value.

63 A 1995 Bentley Continental R, registration number M986 SUX, chassis number

SCBZB03C9SCH52410, engine number 82246L41OM/TK/R. The Bentley

Continental coupés from the 1990's are the last true hand built cars to be made by

Rolls Royce and are true gentleman's expresses in the best sporting tradition. This

particular Continental R has sapphire blue coachwork and a full grey leather

interior with blue piping and blue leather dashboard top roll. As one would expect

the car has all the usual luxury refinements including electric seats, mirrors and

windows, air conditioning, satellite navigation, cruise control and stereo system.

The vendor informs us that there is a full service history which confirms the

mileage of just under 69,000 miles and the car benefited from having a recent

service and brake and steering overhaul with bills on file for £341.20 and

£3,495.96 respectively. These beautiful coupés are truly elegant and are true auto

barn stormers, capable of travelling great distances in true luxury and style. V5C,

0141E, engine number L23066. This Sprint is finished in Lotus yellow over

Cirrus white, with a black hood and interior. It comes with a good amount of

service history and maintenance from the early 1980's onwards, including bills

from Kent Sports Cars (now UK Sports Cars), Christopher Neil Matt and the

London Lotus Centre, and includes a replacement wiring loom, a cylinder head

overhaul, replacement Rotoflex couplings and carburettor overhaul, and more

recently the clutch cylinder and engine mountains have been replaced and the

front calipers rebuilt. V5C, MOT to December 2011, ***taxed to November 2011

65 A 1976 Porsche 911, registration number NDW 911P. The year 1963 saw the

unveiling of the new 911 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The evergreen iconic

design has seen numerous mechanical and cosmetic changes during its long

production, but the original outline shape has always remained the same, surely

testament to a great design. This very well maintained 911 has Platinum Diamant

coachwork with a tan vinyl and cloth interior, sports steering wheel (original

supplied), electric windows, mirrors and sunroof. The car is currently fitted with

Minilite style wheels, with recently fitted new tyres (original cookie cutter alloys

supplied). The car has recently been fitted with a new oil cooler and front

windscreen. This is not your usual run of the mill 911, it has good service history

and looks very bright and purposeful on its Minilite wheels. V5C, MOT to July

66 A 1952 Bristol 401, registration number XS 8401, chassis number 4011040,

engine number 85C1947. Bristol cars have become known as the connoisseur's

car with their aircraft quality construction and discreet but purposeful styling.

Bristol's first car, the 400, was introduced in 1946, based on BMW's tooling

liberated from Eisench after WWII, and essentially combines the best components

Page 20: Charterhouse Results 17th July 2011

of the pre WWII models, mating the 326 chassis and the race developed engine of

the 328, clothed in an aluminum body. The 401 was introduced in 1948 and

remained in production until 1953 with 611 leaving the factory. Mechanically it

was similar to the previous 400 model apart from the SU carburettors which were

changed to Solex's. These increased the horse power to 85 from a previous 80,

and the chassis was increased in length to accommodate the new Touring

designed aerodynamic bodywork. This particular 401 has only had two owners.

The first was Mr P H Newman of Burnley, who took delivery on 21st March

1952, and the second Mr Robert Moule, who purchased the car in 1994. Mr

Moule then undertook a full restoration of the car, which has know nicely

mellowed. Since the restoration, Mr Moule used the car sparingly, covering

approximately 200 miles per year and there are old MOTs to verify the mileage.

XS 8401 is finished in a very attractive colour combination of British Racing

Green with a beautiful cream leather interior, which is complemented by a most

appealing Art Deco inspired dashboard. Bristols of this quality and low

ownership are becoming increasingly hard to find. When compared to their

contemporaries such as Aston Martin and Alvis, which now command much

higher prices, they perhaps offer the true enthusiast an opportunity to own a hand

built car at a relatively affordable price. V5C, MOT to May 2012, tax exempt

67 A 1974 Jaguar E-Type Series III Roadster, registration number WCG 275N,

chassis number 1S1976, engine number 7S12634SA. Jaguar captured the world's

imagination when Sir William Lyons unveiled the new E-Type at the 1961

Geneva Motor Show. Such was the demand for test drives and photo shots, Sir

William had to call for a second car to be driven overnight from Coventry. The

E-Type's beauty hasn't diminished over the last 50 years, and is still as popular

today as ever. Initially available with a 3.8 litre XK engine, which was

subsequently enlarged to 4.2 litres, the final cars employed the mighty 5.3 litre

V12. WCG 275N, a very original and desirable manual car, has believed to have

covered 52,000 miles from new. In the current ownership since 1984, the car has

benefited from being maintained by the same Jaguar specialist. Finished in bright

red with a black leather interior and sitting on sparkling chrome wire wheels

(replaced in 2006 with new tyres). Also she has full weather gear comprising

double duck hood with cover and a full factory fitted tonneau cover. Over the

years WCG 275N has been maintained to a high standard receiving a new clutch,

universal joints and a gearbox overhaul in 1997, all new hoses in 2010 and the

aforementioned wheels and tyres in 2006. WCG 275N was also featured in the

Andrew Morland book E-Type Jaguar. It is expected that the car will be fully

serviced and have a new MOT for the auction, which will allow the new owner to

enjoy the 50th anniversary celebrations and the rest of the summer in style. V5C,

68 A 1956 Bentley S Type, registration number SYE 313, chassis number 8249CM,

engine number BC374. The Bentley S Type (retrospectively known as the S1)

was introduced in 1955, and replaced the previous R Type. A visually larger car

than the R Type, it was powered by an enlarged 4887 cc overhead valve version

Page 21: Charterhouse Results 17th July 2011

of the R Type's six cylinder engine, which propelled the car on to a top speed of

120 mph and achieved a 0-60 time of 13 seconds. This extremely elegant Bentley

is finished in the traditional colour of Shell Grey over Tudor, which is

complemented by the sumptuous red leather and walnut interior. SYE 313 has

always been enthusiast maintained, and the large history file, which includes 27

old MOTs and an owner's handbook, substantiates the time and care lavished on

her. This car epitomises the style, grace and luxury of the 1950's gentleman's

conveyance, and should offer the next custodian many years of enjoyable

motoring. V5C, MOT to June 2012, tax exempt (taxed to May 2012)See

69 A 1961 Jaguar Mk II 3.8 litre sports saloon, registration number RSU 733, chassis

number P203235B/W, engine number LB1299/8. The new generation of compact

Jaguar saloons came to the market in 1956 with the Mk I powered by the ever

popular straight six engines in 2.4 and 3.4 litre capacities. They employed unitary

construction rather than separate chassis and bodies as used in previous Jaguar

models. The Mk II arrived in 1959 and continued in production until 1967

available in 2.4, 3.4 and 3.8 litre capacities, by which time more than 80,000

examples of Mk I and Mk II had been sold. The Mk II 3.8 automatic example

offered for auction has been the subject of a comprehensive bare metal

restoration. Finished in a very attractive colour combination of silver coachwork

with a beige leather interior and walnut dashboard and door cappings, the

restoration, which was completed between 2008 and 2010, was substantial. The

body was stripped to bare metal and numerous panels were replaced including

near and offside inner and outer sills, front cross member, crows feet, rear

valance, all door bottoms and other panels, all of which were supplied by Martin

Robey, then a full respray was completed. The interior was retrimmed in beige

leather, new wool carpets, head lining and the walnut was repolished. At the

same time the engine, gearbox and running gear were thoroughly overhauled. All

the chrome work was replated and new chrome wire wheels were purchased. The

history file contains numerous receipts for the aforementioned restoration

totalling approximately £18,000, photographs of the restoration in progress and

some old MOT's and brochures. This thoroughly sorted Mk II is resplendent after

all the time and money spent on it and should make a new owner very proud.

70 A 1960 Bentley S2 Continental Flying Spur, registration number 693 BYV,

chassis number BC63AR, engine number A63BC. The chassis, BC63AR, was

ordered by Sir Duncan Orr-Lewis, who had Mulliner build a four door Flying

Spur body to go onto it; this was painted a very subtle shade of grey. Records

show that the second owner was Maxwell Joseph of Clarges Street, Mayfair, W1

and the servicing was carried out by Jack Barclay between November 1961 and

July 1962. Mr Joseph's was chairman of the Grand Met, who owned and ran some

of the best hotels in Paris, and during his ownership the car was used on the

Continent as denoted by the French identity plate fixed under the bonnet and

French worded switches in the car. Records show that the car was in the

ownership of Harold Garratt from 1974. He used the car on regular trips to

Yorkshire and Scotland, and regular visits to rugby internationals at Twickenham,

Page 22: Charterhouse Results 17th July 2011

where the car could always be found parked in the West car park. Between 1992

and his death in 2004, BC63AR was dry stored in the garage at the family home.

After his demise, the car was recommissioned by RR & B (Bromsgrove,

Worcester) at a cost of £20,000 and since then a further £25,000 has been lavished

on improvements and refurbishments. These coachbuilt cars are wonderfully built

and epitomise the style and grace of the earlier R-Type and S-Type Continentals,

with the added practical bonus of four doors. V5C, MOT to be advised, tax

71 A 1962 Austin Healey 3000 Mk II BJVII, registration number M368 PDV,

chassis number H-BJ7-L/20499, engine number 29F-RU-H/1151. Donald

Healey's association with Austin started with the Healey 100 which debuted at the

1952 Earl's Court Motor Show. It was powered by Austin's 90 Atlantics four

cylinder engine and running gear. BMC's Leonard Lord secured the production

rights to the car at the show and the Austin Healey legend was born. There

followed further revisions to the design over the years, incorporating the larger six

cylinder engines which were subsequently known as the 100/6 and 3000. The

3000 Mk II version was introduced in 1961, initially with triple SU HS4 four

carburettors and an improved cam shaft in either a four seat configuration, code

named BT7, or a two seater version, code named BN7. But due to difficulties in

balancing the triple carburettors these models were discontinued and were

subsequently replaced with the twin carburettored car, code named BJ7, in

January 1962. The 3000 Mk II BJ7 we have the pleasure in offering for auction

was originally a left hand drive car, which was exported to North America. It

subsequently returned to these shores in 1994, whereupon a full bare metal and

comprehensive restoration was carried out by the current vendor. During the

restoration the big Healey was converted to right hand drive and a Mk III

dashboard was installed. Finished in black with a beautiful tan brown piped

leather interior, it is complemented by the black full weather gear, consisting of a

hood, a full tonneau and a hood cover. Further refinements include wool carpets,

chrome wire wheels, calibrated rev counter and speedometer, four speed gearbox

with overdrive and battery cut out switch. Since the restoration, which was

completed in 1995, the vendor has covered approximately 12,500 totally reliable

miles on Continental tours and regularity time trials. There is a vast and

comprehensive photographic record of the restoration in a history file, covering

all aspects of the restoration and subsequent maintenance. The vendor is retaining

his personal number plate and a new age-related number plate should be issued by

the time of the auction. This big Healey is superbly presented and has been

maintained with no expense spared since the restoration and offers the next owner

an opportunity to purchase a properly fettled car. V5C, MOT to February 2012,

73 A 1937 Riley Merlin 9 Sports Saloon, registration number WG 5852, chassis

number 66N1956, engine number 1956. This Riley restoration project has

received a great deal of attention. The bodywork has had new door skins, sills,

inner wheel arches and body mounting points. Also the whole body has been

sprayed in etch primer ready for the top coats of paint. The restoration was

stopped some time ago; at the time the engine was running with good oil pressure

and the pre-selector gearbox is functioning correctly. The car has been in storage

since. There is a new professionally trimmed grey leather interior ready to be

installed into the car and the chassis is rolling on freshly shot blasted black

painted wire wheels with new tyres. This worthwhile restoration project is now

ready for the next owner to complete or if the original saloon doesn't suit there is

always the option to make a Riley special. V5C, no current MOT, SORN See
