209207210208Toys and Models207 ◊A V-750VN type surface-to-air missile second stageengine designed by Alexei M Isayev, Soviet,the upper-stage liquid propellant sustained powerplant, designedby the bureau of Alexei M. Isayev. 100 x 36 x 36cm, constructed ofvarious alloys, one duct with cloth tape-insulation and paper labelreading “20[Cyrillic D]6510-30/3,” various inspection marks mostlyin red, apparently un-fired, mounted on custom made metal displaystand.£2,800 - 3,500€3,400 - 4,300Celebrated rocket engine designer Alexei Isayev specialized in smallscale,liquid-fuelled rocket engines for Soviet manned and unmannedspacecraft. From 1957 to 1967 his engines powered the rocketscarrying the first artificial satellites, the first man in space, and the firstunmanned probes to the Moon and Venus. At the same time, in the1950s, he was working on engines for surface-to-air missiles (SAMs)and air-to-sea missiles.The present engine is for a S-75 Dvina, a high-altitude, commandguided,SAM. Since its first deployment in 1957 it has become themost widely-deployed air defence missile in history. The missile cameto the world’s attention when an S-75 battery, using the newer, longerrangeand higher-altitude V-750VN missile shot down the U-2 spyplane of Francis Gary Powers as he was flying over the Soviet Unionon May 1, 1960. A Soviet missile crew in Cuba used an S-75 onOctober 27, 1962 to shoot down the U-2 flown by Rudolf Anderson—the only combat death of the Cuban Missile Crisis.Technically S-75 refers to the complete missile battery, the missileitself being known as a V-750. The missile is in two stages, consistingof a solid-fuel booster and a storable liquid-fuel upper stage. Thebooster fires for about 4–5 seconds and the main engine for about 22seconds, by which time the missile is travelling at about Mach 3. Thepresent engine is from the upper stage. The American U-2 spy planeflew at high altitudes, and for the S-75 to reach it, a more powerfulengine was needed; the present engine is a version of that high-powerrocket. An unusual artefact of the Cold War and a reminder that thespace programs were largely an offshoot of military research anddevelopment.50 | Goodwood festival of speed208A 1:8 scale scratchbuilt model of an Aston MartinDB4 GT engine and gearbox, by Javan Smith,finely detailed, mounted on a base and within a Perspex display case,with limited edition certificate numbered 2/12 measuring 24.5 x 19.5 x13.5cm overall.£500 - 600€610 - 740209 † ◊A 1:8 scale model of an Alfa Romeo Spider TouringGran Sport, by Pocher,kit-built model constructed from plastic and metal parts, of the 1930scar, with opening doors and bonnet revealing engine detail, finished indark blue and yellow livery, 51cm long, displayed on a wood-framedPerspex base under a Perspex case.£1,000 - 1,200€1,200 - 1,500210 † ◊A 1:8 scale model of a Bugatti Type 50T, by Pocher,kit-built from plastic and metal parts, of the car in two-tone yellow andblack livery, with bonnet opening to reveal engine detail, opening doorsand detailed interior, rolling wheels with rubber tyres, 63cm long.£1,000 - 1,200€1,200 - 1,500211 ◊A fine scratchbuilt 1:8 scale model of an AustinHealey 100M, by John Shinton of the Healey ToyFactory,finely detailed customised kerbside model of the car, constructed fromwhite metal, stainless steel and pewter parts, with resin body, finishedin two-tone black over Reno red paintwork, with finely detailed interiorand dashboard with instruments, raised windscreen, folded-downsoft-top/hood, wire-spoked wheels, Lucas type lamps, brightwork andother details, measuring 47cm long, mounted to a wooden displaybase and with Perspex protective case.£1,400 - 1,800€1,700 - 2,200

This car was the first to be designed and built by the late John Tojeiroand is of considerable historical significance. A self-taught car designerand constructor, ‘Toj’ was one of the pioneers of Britain’s motor racingrenaissance in the post-war years and began, like so many others, bybuilding a special for his own use. He is best remembered nowadaysfor his role in the gestation of the AC Ace and its Cobra derivative. Aninfluential and widely imitated design, the Ace could trace its originsback to the one-off sports-racer that Tojeiro built for Cliff Davis in1952. The success of Davis’ Bristol-engined Tojeiro - registration ‘LOY500’ - prompted AC Cars to acquire the rights to the design, whichwas put into production in 1954 as the Ace using AC’s own venerable,2.0-litre, six-cylinder engine. The Davis car’s pretty Ferrari 166-inspiredbarchetta bodywork was retained, as was Tojeiro’s twin-tube ladderframe chassis and Cooper-influenced all-independent suspension.Tojeiro’s subsequent designs were somewhat less successful, thoughhe can claim the credit for creating the world’s first mid-engined GTcoupé sports-racer. The latter had resulted from a commission fromÉcurie Écosse, and two Coventry Climax-engined examples were builtfor the 1962 Le Mans 24-Hour Race, though only one made the start.The solitary Tojeiro-Climax failed to finish but the two cars, re-enginedwith American V8s, went on to achieve considerably success onBritish short circuits, most notably with future World Champion JackieStewart at the wheel.The accompanying Tojeiro Register certificate confirms that this caris the first built, stating that Mr Tojeiro had authenticated it as beinghis ‘number one chassis’ after making a close inspection of it in June1992. The late owner had acquired this car in a derelict condition fromMr David Jeffery of Gatwick, West Sussex in 1988.Its first owner is known to have been Mr K O King of King & Harper(Motor Engineers). The Tojeiro has had various registration numbers inthe past, the previous being ‘239 BER’. When the current registrationwas offered, the owner could not resist it.He subsequently commissioned a detailed restoration of the car, whichincluded a replacement two-seated sports body in ‘166 Barchetta’ style.The total mechanical rebuild was carried out by Paul Kitcher of Milfordon-Sea,Hampshire while the body was built by acclaimed specialistsRod Jolley Coachbuilding of Lymington, Hampshire using CarrozzeriaTouring’s Superleggera system of construction, employing a lightweighttubular steel structure to support the aluminium-alloy outer body panels.The car’s mechanical specification includes a channel frame chassis;all-round independent suspension by means of transverse leafsprings and lower wishbones; rack-and-pinion steering (modifiedMorris Minor); MG XPAG 1,350cc engine; MG TC Gearbox; and anENV differential. Rebuilt and developed by George Edney, the engineincorporates a Phoenix steel billet crankshaft, Edney racing camshaft,Laystall aluminium cylinder head (gas flowed), 11:1 compression ratioand twin 1½” SU carburettors.John Tojeiro saw the rebuilt and finished car in August 2004 andseemed to be entirely satisfied with the end product. After his deathin April 2005, ‘TOJ 1’ was present at his memorial service at GuildenMorton, Hampshire. Since its completion the Tojeiro has covered onlysome 2,700 miles and is described as in generally very good condition.Offered with current road fund licence and V5 registration document(with the most appropriate TOJ 1 registration number), it representsan opportunity for the connoisseur to acquire a unique piece of Britishsports car history.£50,000 - 70,000€62,000 - 86,000Motor Cars | 63


302The ex-Earls Court Motor Show1962 Facel Vega II CoupéRegistration no. 3 GXKChassis no. HK2 B 148Engine no. TY8-6132701‘LBH 8C’ as discovered in Islington, Londonafter 24 years in storage, January, 2014‘The HK500 was the most interesting car we ever made but the FacelII was the best. It was totally elegant.’ – Jean Daninos.In its relatively short life, the French firm of Facel producedapproximately 2,900 cars, all of which were stylish, luxurious andfast. Hand built, they were necessarily very expensive – the FacelII was priced in Rolls-Royce territory – and bought by the rich andfamous seeking something exclusive and distinctive. The roll call ofowners includes royalty, politicians, diplomats and entertainers: TonyCurtis, Danny Kaye, Ringo Starr, Joan Fontaine and Ava Gardnerbeing counted among the latter. Confirming that there was highperformancesubstance behind Facel’s unquestionable style, theywere owned and driven by great motor racing figures such as SirStirling Moss, Maurice Trintignant and Rob Walker.Founded by Jean Daninos in 1939, Forges et Ateliers deConstruction d’Eure-et-Loir (FACEL) specialised in the constructionof aircraft components and metal furniture. After the war thecompany engaged in the supply of car bodies to Panhard, Simcaand Ford France, before branching out into automobile manufacturein its own right with the launch of the Vega at the 1954 Paris Salon.Government legislation had effectively killed off France’s few survivingluxury car manufacturers after WW2, but that did not deter JeanDaninos in his bold attempt to revive what had once been a greatFrench motoring tradition. A luxurious Grande Routière, the Vegatook its name from the brightest star in the Lyra constellation andfeatured supremely elegant coupé bodywork welded to a tubularsteelchassis. There being no suitable French-built power unit,Daninos turned to the USA for the Vega’s, that chosen initially beingChrysler’s 4.5-litre V8, while there was a choice of push-buttonautomatic or manual transmission.164 | Goodwood festival of speed


Launched in 1961, the Facel II was destined to be the last of the V8-engined models, production ceasing in 1964 after an unsuccessfulventure into engine manufacture effectively bankrupted the company.Production of the preceding HK500 amounted to only 500-or-so unitsbetween 1958 and 1961 and that of the Facel II to a mere 182. Todaythese rare Franco-American classics are highly sought after.From the late 1960s into the 1980s, this car’s owner was one ofBritain’s foremost television producers/directors, working on a diverseselection of programmes including ‘World-in-Action’, ‘DisappearingWorld’, ‘Coronation Street’, ‘Bergerac’, etc. He had always loved FacelIIs and in his teens had often seen a silver example parked outside theÉcurie Écosse Garage in Merchiston Mews, Edinburgh, with its famousmud-spattered 1956 Le Mans Jaguar D-type in the window, which hisbrother eventually bought.In 1971 the vendor was in the process of finishing the first of GranadaTelevision’s ‘Disappearing World’ films and was walking downBeauchamp Place in Knightsbridge when a chauffeur-driven blueFacel II drew up. He talked to its chauffeur while the man waited for itsowner, Mrs Kleeman, to emerge from San Lorenzo’s and was still inconversation with him when she reappeared. The vendor told her thatthe Facel was the one car he’d always loved. ‘Would you like it?’ shesaid. ‘We absolutely love it too but my husband now wants somethingeasier to get into the back of.’ So he bought ‘3 GXK’ in April 1971.Preparing to drive off in it, he remembers the chauffeur, Mr Hobday,saying: ‘You know sir, that wasn’t a car, that was a way of life.’Chassis number ‘HK2 B 148’ had been one of two displayed at the1963 Earls Court Motor Show and was first registered to W L Lewis,Mr Kleeman’s company/office manager.For six years the Facel was the vendor’s only car, often in Scotland,often in France, and was totally reliable, never letting him down once.Passengers he recalls include psychiatrist R D Laing, singer JohnnyCash, politician Benazir Bhutto, jazz musicians Earl ‘Fatha’ Hines andJay McShann, and many famous actors familiar to Granada Televisionviewers during the 1970s and ‘80s.Then he got married and purchased an estate car, and with a careerthat involved ever more extended periods abroad, found less and lesstime for the Facel which sat, still loved but rarely used, in his garage inLondon. Around 1990, after the car had sat un-driven for a year or so,the vendor had the time to take it out once more. To circulate the oil, heremoved the sparkplugs and turned the engine over by hand - not aneasy thing to do with no starting-handle provision. All seemed fine so theplugs were refitted. The engine started immediately and ran for around30 seconds before a nasty noise prompted a hasty switch-off. For thelast 20-plus years the vendor has been meaning to ‘get round to theFacel’ but never has, and the car has remained garaged ever since.Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, ‘3 GXK’ comeswith its original logbook, expired MoT (1972-73), an AA pre-purchasecondition report, Mr Hobday’s notebook (kept up by the vendor)and various Jack Barclay and other service invoices dating from theKleemans’ period of ownership. The car also comes with an originalowner’s handbook (in French and English). An exciting restorationproject which, once completed, will reward the fortunate new ownerwith the satisfaction of having resurrected ‘not so much a car, more away of life’.£70,000 - 100,000€86,000 - 120,000Motor Cars | 65

RA6794-9‘If Les Vingt Quatre Heures du Mans has been responsible for thenew E-Type Jaguar, then that Homeric contest on the Sarthe circuitwill have been abundantly justified. Here we have one of the quietestand most flexible cars on the market, capable of whispering alongin top gear at 10mph or leaping into its 150mph stride on the briefdepression of a pedal. A practical touring car, this, with its widedoors and capacious luggage space, yet it has a sheer beauty of linewhich easily beats the Italians at their own particular game.’There have been few better summaries of the E-Type’s manifestvirtues than the forgoing, penned by the inimitable John Bolster forAutosport shortly after the car’s debut. Conceived and developedas an open sports car, the Jaguar E-Type debuted at the GenevaSalon in March 1961 in Coupé form. The car caused a sensation- spontaneous applause breaking out at the unveiling - with itsinstantly classic lines and a 150mph top speed. The newcomer’sdesign owed much to that of the Le Mans-winning D-Type sportsracer,a monocoque tub forming the main structure while a tubularspaceframe extended forwards to support the engine.66 | Goodwood festival of speed


The latter was the 3.8-litre, triple-carburettor, ‘S’ unit first offered asan option on the preceding XK150. Its engine aside, only in terms ofits transmission did the E-Type represent no significant advance overthe XK150, whose durable four-speed Moss gearbox it retained.With a claimed 265bhp available, E-Type’s performance did notdisappoint; firstly, because it weighed around 500lbs less thanthe XK150 and secondly because aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayerused experience gained with the D-Type to create one of the mostelegant and efficient shapes ever to grace a motor car. Taller driversthough, could find the interior somewhat lacking in space, a criticismaddressed by the introduction of foot wells (and other, more minormodifications) early in 1962. Today, the E-Types graceful lines liveon in modern Jaguar sports cars, and there can be little doubt thatWilliam Lyons’ sublime creation would feature in any knowledgeableenthusiast’s ‘Top Ten’ of the world’s most beautiful cars of all time.Dating from August 1964, this ‘Series 1’ is one of the very lastright-hand drive 3.8-litre roadsters made (the final chassis producedwas ‘850943’) and was supplied new via Henlys, London finishedin Sand with red leather interior. Circa 1968 the E-Type was sold byAnthony Wolfe Motors, Northolt to a Mr D G Cullen and in 1992 wasbought at auction by a Mr Florin, who then had it fully restored by theYorkshire Vintage & Classic Car Company in Leeds (all bills on file).The car was subsequently sold via Jim Nicholson, Gosport to oneJohn Robert Wheeler, who undertook a full cosmetic restoration,returning the livery to the original Sand, which was carried out during2012/2013. The engine had already been rebuilt by A A McInnesof Bradford in 1994, since when only some 2,000 miles have beencovered. Bought by the current vendor and enjoyed last year, CMO213B has covered approximately 500 miles since its most recentrestoration and is only offered for sale as the owner is seeking a moresedate classic.Described as in generally very good condition, sporting serviceableoriginal red leather seats, with excellent engine and chassis, thecar is offered with JDHT certificate, maintenance chart, MoT/taxto February 2015, V5C registration document and a substantialhistory file containing extensive maintenance/restoration bills andphotographic records of works carried out.

‘For a man who wants the last word in sports cars, a mid-enginedmachine is essential. Racing single-seaters are built to thisconfiguration and so the mid-engined car must be right!‘It is thus of great interest that the famous Maserati firm, whichhas tended to be somewhat conservative in recent years, has nowplaced an advanced mid-engined coupé on the market.’ – JohnBolster, Autosport.The highlight of 1971 Geneva Salon was undoubtedly the sensationalnew Maserati Bora. With the Bora’s introduction, the great Modenesemanufacturer followed other supercar constructors in going midenginedwhile at the same time abandoning its traditional tubularchassis technology in favour of unitary construction. Named afteran Adriatic wind, the Bora was the work of Giorgetto Giugiaro’s ItalDesign, at least as far as its bodyshell was concerned; the midmountedengine was Maserati’s familiar four-cam V8 in 4.7-litreform, the five-speed transaxle came from ZF and the all-independentdouble-wishbone suspension was penned by Giulio Alfieri, codesignerof the legendary 250F Formula 1 Grand Prix car. One ofthe first ‘new generation’ models to appear following Maserati’sacquisition by Citroën, the Bora used the latter’s hydraulic technologyto adjust seats and pedals, raise the headlamps and operate theexcellent power-assisted brakes. A slippery shape plus 310bhp madefor a very fast car - top speed was over 160mph (258km/h) - and theBora had acceleration, handling and braking to match.By January 1976, Maserati’s management apparently had discussedshelving the Bora but later that year decided to continue, thoughwith an enlarged 4.9-litre V8 engine. Only some 25 Boras were madethat year, and the total produced from 1971 to 1978 was only 564.The type was finally phased out in 1979. Motor magazine concludedits March 1973 road test thus: ‘The Bora impressed us as one ofthe best and most civilised mid-engined exotics we’ve tried, betterdeveloped than most of its ilk and immensely rewarding to drive,especially to drive fast on cross-country roads.’ What more could anyenthusiast want?The Bora was a stunning supercar by any standards, both thenand now. Supplied new in the UK, this particular Bora was built inJune 1974 with the 4.7-litre engine and is a rare right-hand driveexample, one of only 42 made. It was originally finished in silver withblue leather interior. The car is offered from the estate of the lateSimon Phillips, prominent BRDC member and well-known collector.In 1988 the Maserati was subject to a total bare-metal restoration byMototechnique and Rardley Motors, since when it has covered onlysome 20,000 miles (the current odometer reading is 44,000 miles).The engine received new cylinder head gaskets this year and is saidto run well, while the rest of the car is described as ‘solid’, albeit inneed of further renovation to bring it back to the highest standard.Accompanying paperwork consists of the 1988 restoration invoices,a current MoT certificate and V5 registration document.£40,000 - 60,000€49,000 - 74,000Motor Cars | 69


305 *The ex-works 1960 Le Mans 24-Hour race 2-litre1960 Lotus LX Grand Touring Two-SeaterChassis no. 125570 | Goodwood festival of speed


Here we are delighted to be offering not just another fine example ofthe peerlessly beautiful, original-series Lotus Elite, but also perhaps themost special variant of the entire production run – the almost legendary‘big-engined LX’.While Colin Chapman was only ever really interested in building racingcars, he was also anxious that his embryo company should have a firmcommercial foundation upon which to survive and grow. To provide sucha foundation he created the Type 14 Elite as a road-cum-racing GrandTouring Coupe, and it was first announced in 1956 as the immenselyfar-sighted forerunner of a new age of composite-construction,monocoque-chassised performance cars.The cars made their mark in competition from 1959 forward and in 1960this very special version of the futuristic little Coupe was built with onemajor objective in view. It might, with luck, just have been capable ofwinning the Le Mans 24-Hours race, the most prestigious single-raceprize in the world of International motor sport.The engine to be used was a 2-litre Coventry Climax FPF twin-overheadcamshaft unit, a very different proposition from the specially-tailored1216cc Climax FEW 4-cylinder single-came unit with which standardproduction Elites were equipped.The new car combined a huge boost in both power and torque withits tiny frontal area, slippery shape and ultra-lightweight construction topossess immense promise. However, its Le Mans foray was ill-starredfrom the beginning. It had been entered by Lotus Enginering and hadbeen jointly financed by enthusiastic amateur owner-drivers JonathanSieff – scion of the Marks & Spencer retail family – and Michael Taylor.The latter had been prime customer for the first Formula 1 Lotus-Climax18 single-seater which he entered in the 1960 Belgian GP, only to suffera life-threatening crash during practice when the car’s steering failed,pitching him way off circuit at La Carriere corner, ending up deep in theforest, grievously injured and in fact overlooked as rescuers attended toStirling Moss, injured when his 18 had crashed on the opposite side ofthe long circuit.Motor Cars | 71


Next day, the Belgian GP proved even more tragic for Team Lotus aslong-time loyal driver Alan Stacey was struck in the face by a bird, lostcontrol of his Type 18 and died in the ensuing crash near Malmedy. AlanStacey had been entered to co-drive the new LX at Le Mans, sharingthe wheel with Innes Ireland. Alan Stacey had been motor racing mentorto a fellow Essex-based enthusiast, the youthful Sir John Whitmore. Hewas at Le Mans as a reserve driver with the Aston Martin team, but asnews of Stacey’s death was digested he was released by Aston to sharethe Lotus LX with Innes Ireland.However, he found the normally rugged, but always temperamental anddemonstrative, Scot was even more deeply affected and depressed byStacey’s death than he himself. Innes had completed just one practicelap in the new car before its 2-litre engine began to overheat. Innes alsoconsidered that the car was too softly suspended and nose heavy –although its scrutineering weights (712kg overall – distributed 318kgfront/394kg rear) indicated that if anything it was actually tail-heavy.Post-practice it was found that one rear tyre was under-pressure, butInnes Ireland’s confidence had been sorely tested and proved wanting.Later, when Sir John drove the car with its tyres properly pressured hewas impressed by its potential – but his enthusiasm could not raise thecloud which had settled over the Lotus Le Mans team...and it then greweven darker.Jonathan Sieff was practicing in his own 1216cc Lotus Elite when thecar left the road at very high speed on the Mulsanne Straight and slicedin two against a trackside electricity pylon. The driver was very badlyinjured and while he lay in jeopardy in an intensive-care hospital bed,Innes Ireland abruptly decided he wanted no part of Le Mans that year.He borrowed Sir John Whitmore’s minivan – bought because they werefree of purchase tax in the UK and provided standard Mini performanceand cornering for just £395 – and set off for the ferry home. Without aco-driver the Lotus LX entry at Le Mans had to be cancelled and thecar that Colin Chapman really considered a true challenger for majorsuccess there would not start the Grand Prix d’Endurance.72 | Goodwood festival of speed


After some 2½ days of painstaking examination, Mr Hickman confirmed“with 100% certainty” that the bodyshell is that of “the original Le Mans2.0-litre Elite”.A complete ground-up restoration to its original specification wasthen undertaken by leading specialist Kelvin Jones, representing asix-figure Sterling investment. The re-completed car with 1964cctwin-cam Climax FPF engine, developing some 176bhp at 6,500rpm,has been track-tested satisfactorily on three different circuits. Itis self-evidently today a 2-litre Grand Touring car of prodigiouslycompetitive Historic racing potential.Offered with a comprehensive history file, including the restorationinvoices, aforementioned letter from Ron Hickman, an additionalauthentication letter from Team Elite’s Team Manager Cyril Embrey, acopy of the Le Mans entry form for the LX, various letters from previousowners, copies of the original 1960 Le Mans Official Programmewith 1960 Le Mans Regulations booklet and Team Elite’s Carnet dePassages for the LX.The Lotus Elite ProjectColin Chapman’s Lotus Elite concept – developed in conjunction withhis friend, Lotus owner and accountant Peter Kirwan-Taylor- emergedas a moulded glassfibre monocoque chassis/body unit comprisingthree major mouldings. At the rear a triangular box section providedattachment points for the final drive and rear suspension. The centerlinetransmission tunnel, sills and roof panel all contributed to the bodyshell’sstructural integrity while virtually the only structural-steel item within thestructure was a hoop uniting the roof, scuttle and sills. A sheet steelframe provided front suspension pick-ups while a steel section beneaththe windscreen supported the steering column, instrument panel andhandbrake base.While its structural concept was breathtakingly futuristic by thestandards of the mid-1950s, the finished Elite’s exquisitely proportionedstyling is credited to Peter Kirwan-Taylor. Aerodynamicist Frank Costinis said to have advised upon the finished shape, most particularlyregarding the cut-off ‘Kamm effect’ tail which contributed to the sleeklittle Coupe’s remarkably low drag coefficient of only 0.29.3W.A Bickerton-Jones with the LX, Burton-on-Trent, 1963-644Rob Cochran with the LX, Tetbury, 1964-675Sir John Whitmore reunited with the LX at Goodwoodfor Octane’s feature by Tony Dron, June issue, 20143 474 | Goodwood festival of speed


While Colin Chapman was happy that he had achieved highlyacceptable standards of accessibility and accommodation with thefinished bodyshell, he was disturbed to find so few proprietary enginescapable of endowing the finished car with the road-racing performancehe also required. Eventually he was able to prevail upon Leonard Lee,head of the Coventry Climax engine company, to enlarge the basic4-cylinder single overhead-camshaft FWA engine by combining theblock and cylinder bore of the FWB with the shorter-stroke of theFWA to displace 1216cc, thus placing the finished car within the up to1300cc category of International competition.Power output of this Coventry Climax ‘FWE’ – for ‘Elite’ – engine was amodest 75bhp, but in the sleek and lightweight glassfibre monocoquecar it was capable of prodigious race-winning performances withinits category.The original intention had been to enter a standard LotusElite in the 1957 Le Mans 24-Hour race, but in fact the first runningprototype was not available until the Geneva Salon of March, 1958.All glassfibre work to produce the original bodyshells was subcontractedby Lotus to external suppliers, the Bristol AeroplaneCompany eventually being commissioned to manufacture at the rateof 15-20 per week. Despite Colin Chapman’s reputation-coveringprotestations that he had only ever intended the new Elite to be aroad car, it was inevitable that Lotus aficionados would quickly beginto race them.Private owner Ian Walker won at Silverstone in the May meeting of 1958and when the youthful Jim Clark drove one against Colin Chapman inanother at Boxing Day Brands Hatch the engineer recognized latentpotential in the young Scottish sheep farmer...The 1959 Le Mans 24-Hour race saw Peter Lumsden/Peter Riley finisheighth overall and wining their class – with Jim Clark/Sir John Whitmore10th in another Elite - while in 1960 a pair of Elites co-driven by RogerMasson/Claude Laurent and John Wagstaff/Tony Marsh placed 1-2 inthe 1300cc category and 1-2 in the lucrative Index of Thermal Efficiencycompetition. In fact Lotus Elites won their class at Le Mans for thefollowing four years.A Series 2 model was developed with revised rear suspension mountingand improved suspension geometry and at the 1960 London MotorShow an Elite Special Equipment variant was launched with enhancedengine breathing, and some 83bhp. Continuing engine development ofthe Climax FWE finally saw it offering as much as 105bhp in showroomorder.

The Motor Car Collection of the late Graham Galliers - Part II306The ex-Jim Clark 1966 Guards Trophy race,Peter Westbury, Mac Daghorn1966 Felday-BRM 4 Group 7Sports-Racing Prototype1,2,3 and 4Jim Clark in the Felday-BRM 4 during hisfamous outing in the car, Brands Hatch, 1966© Ted WalkerSic transit Gloria – ‘thus passes glory’ or ‘worldly glory is but fleeting’– is a phrase very seldom used in any auction description. But here wefeel it is entirely apt. It applies emphatically to the neglected conditionof what should be – as we hope perceptively connoisseurial bidderswill recognize – the still saveable remains of a uniquely significantsports-racing car once driven Internationally by none other than thelegendary, double-Formula 1 World Champion Driver, Jim Clark.The Scots genius was always a curious-minded, inquisitive racingdriver – always eager to pit his instinctive talents against a challengewhich was different, new, exotic and in this case immenselysophisticated. This Felday 4 had been built by former RAC BritishHill-Climb Champion turned most capable circuit-racing driver, PeterWestbury. He had previously won the British title in the ex-StirlingMoss front-engined 4-wheel-drive Ferguson-Climax P99, and hadbeen immensely impressed by the Ferguson Formula all-wheel drivesystem. Consequently he had set out with Harry Ferguson ResearchLtd’s enthusiastic support, to adapt such a system to modern sportsprototypecompetition.He had established his Felday Engineering business in his homevillage of Holmbury St Mary – old name ‘Felday’ – in the Surrey hillsbetween Guildford and Dorking. In 1963 he had won the Hill-ClimbChampionship in his self-built Felday-Daimler 1 single-seater, and afterclinching the British title he was loaned the Ferguson-Climax P99 todemonstrate at the Wiscombe Park hill-climb.While building a projected Felday 2 for the sports car EuropeanMountain Championship, Westbury was loaned the P99 for theopening rounds of the 1964 RAC British Hill-climb Championship.Before Felday 2 got very far, an 1880cc BRM V8 engine was acquiredand another spaceframe two-seater sports car project began, theFelday 3. However, its completion was shelved as the P99 clinchedPeter Westbury’s second consecutive British Championship title.Still determined, in the Autumn of 1964, to contest some EuropeanMountain Championship events, the shelved Felday 3’s BRM V8engine was installed instead in a Lotus 23B chassis, while FeldayEngineering moved into larger premises - at Forest Green.Still eager to succeed in Europe, Peter Westbury embarked upon theFelday 4 – the innovative car whose remains are now offered here.He produced a sheet-steel ‘monocoque’ backbone structure for his‘Mark 4’ with the BRM V8 engine turned about-face at the rear, clutchat the front. Ferguson FF transmission then drove to all four wheels.The chassis structure was displayed bare at the January, 1965,London Racing Car Show, but progress remained slow while BRMloaned its P67 4WD single-seater to Peter for occasional hill-climb use.The Felday-BRM 4 finally made its racing debut in the Boxing DayBrands Hatch meeting. An occasional race programme was thenpursued with the 2-litre 4WD car, Westbury and team-mate MacDaghorn – who had been working at Felday Engineering for sometime - both shining at club level.176 | Goodwood festival of speed


Denis Jenkinson of ‘Motor Sport’ magazine was a great fan of theprogramme, and he reported how for the new marque’s Internationaldebut in the August Bank Holiday Monday Guards Trophy race atBrands Hatch, Mac Daghorn was to drive the brand-new Felday-Ford5 ‘big banger’ – see Lot 407 – while “…Felday 4 was driven by noneother than Jim Clark. Among the many reasons that led up to Clarkdriving the Felday 4 was the fact that Colin Chapman…” - head ofClark’s Lotus Formula 1 team – “…had been showing an interest in theFerguson 4WD mechanism, and thought his number-one driver shouldget some practical experience…”.During practice Jim Clark very quickly got the hang of 4-wheeldrivemotoring, lapping just 1sec outside Denny Hulme’s classrecord. However, before Saturday’s session an electrical short-circuitprevented the car starting. Rgardless, Jimmy was fastest of the 2-litrecontenders, starting on row four alongside Denny Hulme in Sid Taylor’sLola-Chevrolet T70 Spyder.The Grand Prix circuit’s surface was greasy, and Jim Clark exploitedthe Felday’s 4-wheel-drive system to the full to win Heat One’s 2-litreclass, eighth overall behind four Lola T70s and three McLarens.Rain began after five laps of Heat Two, flooding triggering red flags threelaps later. After a long delay it was decided to re-run the Heat over 20laps instead of the original 30. Sadly for Felday, Clark’s BRM engine diedon the grid, a push-start incurring a one-minute penalty. The car thenbegan to smoke, and was black-flagged. Clark still qualified as a finisher,fourth 2-litre class while sharing the class fastest lap.With the demise of major-league sports car racing in the UK at the endof that year, the sports-racing Feldays were all dressed-up but withnowhere to go. This ex-Clark ‘4’ was campaigned by hill-climber JohnMcCartney in 1967-70, then advertised during October 1970.The information file compiled by late owner Graham Galliers includesnotes suggesting that the BRM engine and Ferguson FF 4WDtransmission system both passed to hill-climbing BRM P67 ownerDavid Good in 1971. By that April the car was being advertised by‘Low Cost Racing of Farnham’ as an engineless rolling chassis. Theadvertisement trail dries up after October 1971.We understand that the car was converted by Tammy Aberg (ex-Dennis Poore equipe) and John Head of Rosary Garage, Bramshaw,installing a Rover V8 engine and Hewland rear-drive transmission forautocross exponent Ken Piper. The resultant special enjoyed somesuccess in his experienced hands, while the car’s long-discarded FF4WD transmission seems to have been last heard of with an Americanmechanic named Rob Thurman who had been with Mike Spencein the late 1960s. According to his then colleague Bob Dove, MrThurman had all of the Felday 4’s transmission parts in the living roomof his London house in 1971. He is assumed to have taken the systemwith him when he returned to the US soon after…Another lead part followed-up by Graham Galliers involved MalcolmAngood who had been David Good’s mechanic when he ran the 4WDBRM P67 and who reputedly “had a complete spare transmission forthat car under his bench”. There remains the possibility that the Felday4’s FF system may yet be retrievable, or at least re-sourceable…The badly deteriorated remains of this fascinating – and significant– sports-racing prototype (including cut-down bodywork of ‘beachbuggy appearance’) were retrieved from contemporary intermediateowner David Kendall in the West Country by leading restoration andpreparation specialists Hall & Hall in 2005, and were then acquired –complete with Rover V8 engine and Hewland gearbox - by GrahamGalliers in 2006.For a new owner with the compassion, the heart and the wherewithalto rescue this iconic 4-wheel-drive sports-racing prototype, posteritywill plainly be indebted – while this once-sophisticated ex-Jim Clarkcontender could in future years provide an immense ‘up-side’.We at Bonhams recall the car most vividly from that Brands Hatchinternational race meeting 47 years ago, flickering around the GrandPrix circuit at jaw-dropping pace, driven by that familiar little figure inthe dark-blue crash helmet with his trademark white peak…Jim Clark,no less… Offered without reserve and sold strictly as viewed.£5,000 - 7,000€6,200 - 8,600No Reserve234Motor Cars | 77

Its spaceframe chassisstructure had been designed by engineer Mike Hillman and weldedupfrom large-diameter round and rectangular-section steel tubing.Externally the Felday 5 looked very similar to the Felday 4 with its noseand tail body sections and drop-down doors each side in mouldedglass-fibre. Aluminium sill sections on each side accommodated25-gallon fuel tanks. Felday-designed cast-magnesium wheels werefitted, with 15-inch x 10-inch wide same-size rims front and rear. Inthe light of test experience that day 12.10 x 15 Firestone rear tyreswere adopted, with 9.20 x 15s at the front. A simple carburettor intakescoop was also added to the car’s rear deck.In its original Guards Trophy form the car was powered by a Holman& Moody-prepared 7-litre Ford V8 engine, converted by Felday todry-sump lubrication, and rigidly mounted to help stiffen the car’srear bay. Mike Hillman’s all-independent suspension system was fullyadjustable for camber, castor and toe-in.78 | Goodwood festival of speed


The original Ferguson 4-wheel drive system was Harry FergusonResearch Ltd’s P121 system, co-manufactured with Valerio Colotti’sGSD works in Modena, Italy. A single transmission aggregatemounted behind the Ford V8 engine comprised gearbox and controlunit, and provided four forward gars plus reverse. With a lesspowerful engine than the 510bhp, 475lbs/ft torque H&M Ford unit,five speeds would have been built into the same FF P121 casing.Torque-split was approximately 33-67 per cent fornt/rear. A threepieceprop-shaft powered the front wheels and both front and rearhalf-shafts used constant-velocity Rzeppa-pattern universal joints ateach end.Girling CR caliper disc brakes were featured inboard on the halfshaftsboth front and rear, 13 ½-inches diameter front and 11-inch rears. Peter Westbury told the press that entries were beingconsidered in the forthcoming CanAm Challenge Cup race series inthe US and Canada “if a sponsor can be found”.Unfortunately, the search proved fruitless and Daghorn retired thecar from its Guards Trophy debut with brake problems. The carwas described in a brief photo feature in the British monthly ‘MotorRacing’ magazine – issue date October 1966 –but with the Group7 sports-racing car category being abandoned for 1967-68, thiscomplex projectile was all dressed up – with nowhere to go.Hill-climb Champion Peter Westbury then sold the car to fellow hillclimberJohn McCartney although there seems to be no record on fileof him actually using it in competition. It then passed to omnipresentdealer J.A. Pearce in Southall, Middlesex,From whom c. 1972 it passed as a rolling chassis only – without4WD transmission system - to enthusiast Maurice Starbuck ofSheffield. He bought March 701 wheels for it from the Bicesterfactory and supposedly the aluminium body from the sister 2-litreFelday 4 from McCartney although this seems unlikely given theapparent size difference between the two cars.We understand that Maurice Starbuck then fitted the car witha Chrysler Hemi V8 engine and a Ford GT40/Lotus 30-type ZFtransaxle gearbox before campaigning the car briefly in the early1970s. He subsequently stored it for many years until Shropshirebuilder and racing enthusiast Graham Galliers bought it for his owngrowing collection of exotic and unusual competition cars c. 2008.We are told that Felday 5’s 4WD system passed to Peter Westbury’seventual successor as RAC British Hill-climb Champion DavidHepworth who used it with immense success in his Guyson-Sandblaster Special hill-climb car.This most unusual might-have-been is offered here as viewedand at No Reserve. With its 1966 Guards Trophy racing debut ithas International motor racing history, and its potential as a verysophisticated and massively tractable ‘big-banger’ sports-racingproposition remains self-evident.£15,000 - 20,000€19,000 - 25,000No Reserve123Motor Cars | 79

Of all the British sports car manufacturers that emerged in Britain duringthe ‘tween-war years of the 1920s-30s, Geoffrey Taylor’s Alta Car &Engineering Company of Surbiton, Surrey, became renowned as one ofthe most enthusiastic, utterly dedicated to the cause of producing highperformancefun cars for like-minded sporting gentlemen.Geoffrey Taylor was a remarkably hands-on engineer. He had actuallyhand-filed and crafted components for his first Alta engine upon thekitchen table at home.His first car had used an ABC chassis frame butfor his subsequent production models he bought-in frames made forhim by Rubery Owen in the Midlands. His first model used a 1074cc4-cylinder enginedeveloping around 49bhp unsupercharged or 76bhpwith supercharging. He made a choice of 4-speed non-synchromeshor pre-selector gearboxes available on the 13 Alta cars made between1931 and 1935.His later pre-war Alta cars were even more select, with ony six believedto have been made from 1935-39. They were equipped with 1496ccor 1961cc engines, featuring aluminium cylinder blocks, hemisphericalcombustion-chamber heads and chain-driven twin-overhead camshaftengines, in place of the shaft-drive system featured in the earlier units.With supercharger, these Alta engines were rated at 180bhp, giving atop speed approaching 120mph.This made the Alta one of the fastest pre-war sports cars and certainlyone of the fastest in the 2-litre class. In postwar years Geoffrey Taylorconcentrated upon single-seater racing car production, aspiring to bothFormula 1 and 2 level, before concentrating upon engine production forsupply to such emergent new marques as Cooper and Connaught.1Motor Cars | 81


This supercharged car was built new in 1938 for Ken Gammon who ranit competitively in such events as the Lewes hill-climb in Sussex and onthe parkland Crystal Palace circuit in south London. In 1939 it was soldto one of the Swan family of Swan Hunter &Wigham Richardson shipbuildingfame, who retained ownership throughout the war years beforeeventually selling the car on to John Brown in 1954.John Brown then raced the car in Border region club events, withsome success. Subsequently the car passed through a succession ofownerships, including J. Grice (1961), P. Bevis (1961), Voiche Mushek in1962 who took the car to the United States, Carleton Coolidge (1971)and by 1978 it was back in the UK with dealer Dan Margulies, whoraced it at the Nurburgring in 1980. He then found a customer for it inAustralia, where the Alta appeared in the hands of J.C.T. Hewison (1981)and M. Sutcliffe (1983).In 1985 a full rebuild was undertaken by Australian long term Altaowners and engineers Graham Lowe (mechanicals) and Mike Bishop(body). Mr Sutcliffe retained the car until 2000 when it was acquired byprominent British collector John Ruston. By this point the restorationwas nearly complete and John Ruston entrusted respected pre Warspecialist Ian Polson with its completion. He then used the car forseveral more years, the car proving competitive in a variety of preWar events, before selling it to Pierre Honneger in 2002 who used itfrequently with some success.Graham Galliers finally acquired the car from Pierre Honneger in 2004and enjoyed a successful series of hill-climb and sprint outings in it, hisexploits including the current class record at Shelsley Walsh hill-climb,an accolade which in period in the late-1930s would have been atremendous feather in Alta Engineering’s corporate cap...2John Grice, Prescott, 1961© Ted Walker282 | Goodwood festival of speed

Based initially at Tours and from 1906 in Paris, Delahaye built its firstautomobile in 1894 and soon diversified into commercial vehiclemanufacture. As one of the oldest French marques Delahaye enjoyedan excellent reputation for quality, but by the Salon of 1932 its carswere not selling well and had an “old fashioned” image.The Delahaye management instructed their recently appointed chiefengineer, Jean François, to design a range of cars for the 1933 ParisSalon incorporating the latest technical features. The new cars werethe 2.1-litre, four-cylinder Type 134 of 112” wheelbase and a 3.2litre six cylinder type 135 of 124” wheelbase. These were the firstDelahayes with independent front suspension, which was mountedon a new chassis of welded construction incorporating box-sectionside members with cross members, central tube and floorpanproviding excellent torsional rigidity. The Type 134 engine shared its107mm stroke with the 3.2 litre six which, although designed for caruse, had first appeared in a Delahaye commercial vehicle. Equippedwith triple Solex carburettors, the 3.2-litre, six-cylinder, overheadvalveunit produced 113bhp.To promote the new image Delahaye started a competition programcompeting in major rallies with special cars using the six cylinderengine in the four cylinder chassis and breaking records at Montlhery,where a monoplace saloon broke all international class records up to10,000 kilometresFor 1936 the formula for Grands Prix in France was for sports carsand with the backing of millionairess Lucy Schell Delahaye decidedto compete strongly at the highest level and Francois designed apurpose built sports racing car. A new shorter and lower chassis wasused with a narrowed and lightened rear axle with stronger flangedaxle shafts, special steel brake drums lightened crankshaft andcylinder block and a new cylinder head and camshaft which changedthe order of the ports. Triple Solex 44HD racing carburetters wereused and the exhaust manifold was fabricated with six branches. Thesteering box and column were lightened and given a higher ratio. The4 speed gearbox featured an attractive remote control. They werebodied in lightweight alloy and not only were very functional but alsograceful, aerodynamic and reliable.It is believed that only 14 short-wheelbase Delahaye 135 Specialeswere built, of which fewer than ten remain today.With 160bhp and an all up weight of 18cwt, the new 3.6-litre Type135S was soon making a name for itself, taking 2nd, 3rd, 4th and5th places in the 1936 French Grand Prix and winning the MonteCarlo Rally in 1937 and Le Mans 24-Hour Race outright in 1938.Prince Bira won the 1938 Donington 12-Hour Sports Car Race inPrince Chula’s example and the same car owned by Rob Walkerwon the Brooklands’ ‘fastest road car in England’ race againstformidable opposition.A 3.2-litre Type 135 finished 5th at Le Mans in 1935 but for otherevents with looser regulations Delahaye had used a non standard84mm bore engine of 3.6 litres and for 1936 it became available onproduction cars. Cars fitted with the 3.6 litre engine were thenceforthknown as “Competition” Delahayes.Motor Cars | 85

This Delahaye 135S replica was constructed over many years bymarque specialist Ian Polson contemporaneously with his long termand painstaking rebuild of chassis number ‘47190’, an original 135Snow in the Mullin Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. The chassishas been given the number ‘47191’, the identity of an original135S that no longer exists, but makes no claim to be that car. Allcomponents are correct Delahaye, converted in much the same wayas the works did in period, with a proper Delahaye racing cylinderhead (purchased from Rob Walker), correct racing Solex carburettors(remanufactured), racing water pump, etc. During Graham’sownership Hartford friction dampers were substituted for the correctRaxef units, these are offered with the lot.The interior trim was done by John Foy, acknowledged as one ofthe best coach trimmers in the country. The Delahaye had beenpurchased in 2003 as a project for circa £40,000 (£25,000 plusan Austin-Healey 100 valued at £15,000). Work commencedimmediately and was completed circa 2006 at a total cost of around£250,000. Restoration invoices and photographs are on file and thecar also comes with current HTP FIA papers and a V5C registrationdocument.Following the car’s completion, Graham found that he could notfit in it comfortably; he was unwilling to alter the car’s lines and soused it sparingly.To get the Delahaye sorted, he asked Bonhams MotoringDepartment specialist John Polson to race it for him in VSCC andother pre-war sports car races in 2012. With its few minor teethingtroubles quickly sorted, the car formed part of the winning team inthe VSCC Relay Race at Pembrey in 2012, and elsewhere provedcompetitive with short-chassis 8C Alfas, etc, just as the real thingwas in period but no replica has ever managed.The gearbox is currently being rebuilt, but will be completed by thetime of sale. Delahaye manual gearboxes were notoriously unreliablein racing, with breakages a frequent occurrence in period. This led tomany cars being fitted with Cotals in period or with Hotchkiss/Rileygearboxes in historic racing today. Sure enough, John Polson hadencountered gearbox problems while racing the Galliers Delahaye.Since Graham did not want to depart from original specification,the decision was taken to have stronger gears made and ex Borg-Warner and Cosworth transmission engineer, Cecil Schumacher, wascommissioned to redesign them to withstand the engine’s massivetorque without altering the Delahaye gearbox’s fundamental design.A perfect ‘tool room copy’, ‘945 UXE’ is indistinguishable from thereal thing and undoubtedly a potential winner in any pre-war sportscar race, as well as a fast and exciting road car.£130,000 - 160,000€160,000 - 200,0001John Polson, VSCC Silverstone, 2012Motor Cars | 87

Maximum output of the Magna’s 1,271cc WolseleyHornet-based overhead-camshaft engine was later raised from amodest 37bhp to a much healthier 47 horsepower. An extensivelyrevised and improved version of this ‘KD’ engine, tuned to produce56bhp, was carried over to the ‘NA’ Magnette of 1934. The chassistoo had come in for revision, being lighter than hitherto, while the bodywas now supported by rubber-mounted outriggers, an arrangementthat gave a more comfortable ride.‘ABY 253’ is one of only 24 ND Magnettes built out of a total of 738N-types (excluding the racing NE). Records held by the MG CarClub’s MMM register show that ‘ABY 253’ was first owned by W EC Watkinson, who was a recognised MG ‘works’ driver and had thefactory fit an NE-specification racing engine, Watkinson is believed tohave raced this car at Brooklands and elsewhere pre War. In the 1960sthe Magnette was owned by long-time MG enthusiast Allan Scott.Allan had acquired the car from the Red Dragon Trials Team, who hadbought it from Watkinson. In an article published in ‘Safety Fast!’ (theMMM newsletter) in June 2002, he recalled: ‘It was a very handsomecar in beautiful condition. It went like a scalded cat and handled like adream. It only had one defect; the rear cross tube had worn throughand a crude bar repair was welded to support the spring tails. In fact,the car was an ND. It had an amazingly high axle ratio.

Abecassis, Brooklands, 1938 © GPLOnce the car was in the late Graham Gallier’s hands the 2-litre enginewas sold on to the then owner of Alta sports car EJJ 703 (anotherillustrious ex Abecassis Alta) which was where this engine started lifeprior to being fitted to EOY 8. Graham considering it best for the engineto return to its rightful car and embarked on a money no object remanufactureof the single seaters engine. At the same time the cars ENV110 pre-selector gearbox was found to be very tired, Cecil Schumacherthe countries foremost pre-selector specialist was engaged to rebuild it,again a money no object approach was taken and this was rebuilt at acost of £17,000 (bills on file).We understand that the car’s chassis frame had deteriorated beyondsafe further use, and that after Graham acquired the car from formerowner Richard Last in 2004 (at a cost of £105,000) he had the framerebuilt with new main longitudinal sections being united by what arebelieved to be still the original cross members. The original longitudinalsections are offered with the lot.Denis Jenkinson in 1947 described this Alta’s structure as follows: “...the chassis was channel section...and the ends of the frame were joinedby a pair of large-diameter tubes, one above the other, which extendedout to the wheels and carried the suspension units, which consistedof vertical sliders with coil springs above and below controlling themovement, an outstanding feature being that no shock absorbers wererequired. At the rear two sets of sliders were used on either side of thedrive passing between them, from universally-jointed shafts taking thedrive from the differential unit which was bolted to the chassis.“The engine was a 4-cylinder, 69 x 100mm in the case of the 1,496cccars and 79 x 100mm in the 1996cc car. The whole engine was ofaluminium, with steel liners, cast in pairs, sitting in the one-piece blockcum-crankcase.Aluminium-bronze valve seats were screwed into thelight-alloy head and two valves, situated at 68 deg. To one another,were used, with a single sparking plug mounted between them andinclined forward at an angle of 24deg. Two overhead camshafts weredriven by a single roller-chain... A Roots-type supercharger mounted atthe front of the engine and driven at 1 ½ times engine speed, suppliedmixture from an SU carburettor at 22lbs sq/in which with an 8.5:1compression ratio was claimed to give over 200bhp for the 1 ½-litreand 275bhp for the 2-litre, both at 5,800rpm...”The restoration of the car has reached the point of approximately60% completed and was ongoing at the time of Graham’s death, assuch it is sold strictly as viewed.

From 1965-68, driven by Jack Pearce, John Hine,Robin Darlington and Jim Moore, the Kincraft Formule Libre singleseateraccumulated no fewer than 56 race victories while also breakingthe lap record at many of Britain’s most familiar racing circuits.The Kincraft project was launched by Staffordshire industrialist JackPearce, from Tipton, who in the earlier 1960s raced sports and LibreclassLotuses with considerable success.In 1964 he commissionedLotus designer Len Terry – one of Britain’s most accomplisheddesigners with successful development of the Lotus 25 to hiscredit as well as the earlier Gilby and Terrier competition cars. LenTerry agreed to advise on the project but recommended Lotusdraughtsman Martin Waide to detail the design drawings.He drew upon his experience with the Gilby Formula 1 car of 1961-62 which he had designed before joining Lotus while Martin Waidethen finalized detail design and manufacturing drawings. He thensupervised construction at Pearce’s premises.The spaceframe-chassised car emerged with a rigidly attachedstiffening floor pan. It was powered by a 427 cubic inch Ford ‘289’Cobra V8 engine, driving through a four-speed Hewland LG500gearbox. Jack Pearce drove the Kincraft-Ford in its debut at BrandsHatch on June 20, 1965, finishing third.

JackPearce was unhurt but his new Kincraft was badly damaged. The carwas rebuilt, and John Hine promptly won the November Cup Librerace in it at Brands Hatch on November 28, 1965.194 | Goodwood festival of speed


Jack Pearce sold the car to David Bridges of Manchester for 1966,who took a 2nd and 3rd place in it before selling it on to Welshfarmer Robin Darlington, who promptly won no fewer than 18 raceswith the increasingly charismatic car – in effect a Formula 5000design before its time. Darlington shone in it at Snetterton, OultonPark, Llandow, Silverstone and Mallory Park. But at Oulton onAugust 20 Darlington crashed, and the Kincraft was returned to JackPearce for repair.Jim Moore, a Thornton heath garage owner, then bought the car onlyto crash it upon his debut at Brands Hatch that November. Fortuneschanged in 1967, as Jim Moore then accumulated no fewer than 20club-level race wins at Brands Hatch, Rufforth, Mallory Park, CastleCombe, Lydden Hill, Snetterton and Silverstone. He also crashedthe car at Mallory Park, repaired the damage before a mid-week testat Brands Hatch and promptly overturned it, breaking his shoulderand collar bone. As ‘Autosport’ reporter Michael Kettlewell wrote:“Undeterred, Moore attempted to race the car four days later, but thepain from his injuries caused him to crash again! The car was off thetrack for three-and-a-half months for repairs...”.1Robin Darlington on route to another victory, Snetterton, 1966© Ted Walker2The Kincraft on pole, Snetterton, 1965© Ted WalkerJim Moore’s brilliantly successful career with the car continuedthrough 1968, winning 18 times at Silverstone, Mallory, Rufforth,Castle Combe, Croft and Snetterton, and adding five lap records,plus the BRSCC Northern Formule Libre Championship. But atthe end of the Thorton Heath garage owner’s career with the carit abruptly disappeared from public view. It was sold reputedly toLiverpool’s John Scott-Davies. It was entered for the first Formula5000 race at Oulton park on Good Friday 1969, by Lord Cross, aveteran Cobra driver. But the Kincraft would not re-emerge until 1971when Max Reinhard drove it in northern club events, recalling he hadfound the car “somewhere in Brighton”. It passed to Ian Stronachwho raced it again on the northern circuits but found it uncompetitiveagainst more modern F5000 and Libre machines.Jack Pearce also built Kincraft trials cars, and a CanAm-style sportscar under the same name, but this Libre single-seater remained hismost prominent and successful product. It was owned for many yearsby Trevor Needham before passing to dealer Roger Cowman, fromwhom it was purchased by Graham Galliers c. 2003. A set of originaldrawings were then acquired from Jack Pearce and as offered herethe car has been almost completely rebuilt and restored, by respectedspecialist Hardy Hall at a cost of circa £50,000 (bills on file).

314The ex-Dick Watney, Lagonda Motors1939 Lagonda V12 SaloonRegistration no. GVU 675Chassis no. 14105Engine no. 48‘In making an evaluation of the better British cars, the LagondaV12 certainly must be considered an excellent design and one thatcontributed to raising the state of the art - not forgetting, of course,that it probably should be considered W O Bentley’s masterpiece.’ -Road & Track, October 1978.A quite remarkable piece of automotive engineering, the W O BentleydesignedLagonda V12 was one of the outstanding British models ofits day and one of the exclusive handful of 1930s road cars that couldexceed 100mph in standard tune. Not only that, but the magnificent,4.5-litre, V12 engine produced sufficient torque to endow the car witha walking-pace-to-maximum capability in top gear.For Lagonda, the year 1935 had brought with it bankruptcy andrescue, its benefactor being a young solicitor named Alan Good.Good reorganised the company and recruited W O Bentley, by thendisillusioned with life at Rolls-Royce, which had acquired Bentley in1931. Bentley succeeded in refining the muscular, Meadows-enginedLagondas while working on a vastly more-advanced design thatmany consider the great man’s finest.First seen in 1936, the Lagonda V12 did not commence deliveriesuntil 1938 and only 189 had been built before the coming of WW2ended production. The advanced chassis employed doublewishboneindependent front suspension and was available with avaried choice of coachwork, including limousine. Frank Feeley, stylistof Aston Martin’s post-war ‘DB’ cars, was responsible for the elegantfactory bodywork. As usual, the short-chassis Rapide roadsterprovided even more performance.96 | Goodwood festival of speed


The V12’s announcement demonstrated that the revitalised companywas very much back in business, an impression Lagonda’s decisionto enter the 1939 Le Mans 24-Hour Race can only have enhanced.The marque already possessed a creditable Le Mans record, a shortchassis4½-Litre driven by John Hindmarsh and Luis Fontes havingwon the endurance classic outright in 1935.In October 1938 a Lagonda V12 saloon driven by Earl Howe hadcovered 101.5 miles at Brooklands in a single hour, despite having tostop to change a burst tyre, and this together with other high-speedtests, during which the car had shown complete reliability, indicatedthat it would be a highly suitable candidate for reviving Britishprestige at Le Mans. Accordingly, it was decided to enter a two-carteam in 1939 with the aim of securing valuable data, and then tomount a full-strength challenge the following year. In the race the twostreamlined two-seater Lagondas fared better than expected, MessrsBrackenbury and Dobson finishing in third place with Lords Selsdonand Waleran fourth. Had a less conservative race strategy beenemployed, then either might have won.The factory-bodied Lagonda V12 saloon offered here was originallybuilt for the then managing director of Lagonda Motors, Richard ‘Dick’Watney, and delivered to him on 24th October 1939, shortly after theoutbreak of WW2. Mr Watney left for Australia immediately after thewar and the Lagonda was then rebuilt by the factory and sold as anew car to one F C Price of London NW1 on 27th June 1946. Mr Priceregistered it in Manchester on 15th May 1947 as ‘GVU 675’.The accompanying Lagonda Club letter from its Hon Registrar,Arnold Davey, lists the following subsequent owners in factory andClub records: Major R de C Vigors of Chester (1948), R L Steynorof Ledbury (circa 1950), Les Buckton of Morton Bagot (May 1970)and David Dunn of Monkstown, Dublin (circa 1975). The Lagondasubsequently went to Australia where it was owned by MarcelSeroussi of Prahran and later Armadale, Victoria, and in August 2005was recorded as owned by Advocate J P Labesse of St Lawrence,Jersey, Channel Islands. The car next changed hands in June 2013,apparently to another member of the Labesse family. Now reunitedwith its old UK registration, ‘GVU 675’ is described by the vendor asin generally good condition, its engine running very smoothly.

315Same ownership for 54 years,from the Michael Banfield Collection1927 Bentley 3/4½-litre Open TourerRegistration no. WN 204Chassis no. LM1341Engine no. XF350298 | Goodwood festival of speed


Few owners can have shown such loyalty to a car as the late MichaelBanfield, who bought this 3/4½-litre Bentley in 1959 when he was just23 and kept it for the rest of his life – a total of 54 years in the sameownership. It was also the very first vehicle in his collection, whichat his death in 2013 totalled some 60 veteran and vintage cars andcommercial vehicles. The Bentley also established the high standard offinish which characterised the vehicles in the Banfield Collection.The much-prized 3/4½-litre conversion, which combines the bestelements from both models, had its origins in “W.O.” days with aselect group – just nine – 4½-litre “Shorties” built on the 9ft 9½ inchwheelbase (rather than the standard 10ft 10in chassis of the remaining656 4½-litre cars) for some very discerning customers. These includedCaptain Kevill Davis (whose car would later be owned by KestonPelmore, founding father of the Bentley Drivers Club), E.R. Foden(whose yearning for the “bloody thump” of the 3-litre had inspired thecreation of the 4½-litre) and sporting motor dealer Drysdale Kilburn,best known as an exponent of the 30-98 Vauxhall.These “Shorties” proved to be wonderfully swift and agile, and thispotent formula was taken up by W.O. Bentley’s brother Horace in the1930s. His company, H.M. Bentley & Partners, specialised in rebuildingtired second-hand 3-litre and 4½-litre cars, and in the years precedingWorld war two he created a limited number of what were referred to as“hybrid Bentleys”, one of which was owned by J.G. Fry, builder of theFreikaiserwagen “Shelsley Special” hill-climber.Writing in 1943, Joe Fry extolled the virtues of his “Bentley with aDifference”: “Recipe: take a good 3-litre Red Label Bentley chassis,mix in a good 4½-litre engine... add a light two-seater body withaccessories to taste. The result is a motor car which, while stillpossessing a good vintage flavour, possesses a performance equalledby few other machines, even of the most modern and expensive type.”Postwar, enthusiastic Bentley owners began to follow the 3/4½-litrepath to enhanced performance, among them Thomas OliverDonaldson Craig, the managing director of a plating works inTeddington, Middlesex, who acquired WN 204 in 1954 from RonaldClement Smith of Hove, Sussex. The car was then a standard 3-litreSpeed Model with the desirable C-type gearbox, which had been soldin July 1927 to one D.D. Williams; it was originally fitted with engineLM1350 and a maroon two-seater Vanden Plas body (No 1311), whichhad been ordered in September 1926.Mr Craig kept the car in standard form for a couple of years, then inMay 1957 he bought a 4½-litre engine from fellow Bentley Drivers Clubmember C.M. Carpenter of Birkenhead. Mr Carpenter declared thatthe engine, XF3503, which had come from 4½-litre Maythorn saloonXF3502, had only done 30,000 miles from new; it was also completelydismantled. This engine was, said Mr Craig, in perfect condition andwas duly reassembled without any further work being carried out,apart from the fitting of two new magnetos. The 3-litre engine originallyinstalled in LM 1341 was apparently transferred to chassis 914.Motor Cars | 99


The four-seat body dating from 1949 that was then on LM 1341 wasscrapped and replaced with a four-seat Vanden Plas body shortenedto fit the 9ft 9½in Speed Model chassis; a fold-flat windscreen andtwin aeroscreens were added, as was a new silencer, battery andtyres. A rebuilt and re-chromed 4½-litre radiator replaced the 3-litreunit in order to cope with the increased cooling requirements ofthe more powerful engine, the car was rewired and the twin SUcarburettors overhauled.Observed Mr Craig, all that work resulted in the Bentley beinglittle used during 1957 and August 1959, when it was acquired byRichard Rice of Surbiton, Surrey. He kept the car for only a matterof weeks before selling it to the well-known London Rolls-Royceand Bentley dealer Simmons of Rex Place, Park Lane, Mayfair, fromwhom Michael Banfield bought the car for £475 in October 1959.Despite Mr Craig’s assertion that the car was in perfect mechanicalorder when he sold it, during the 1960s Michael Banfield had theBentley thoroughly overhauled by marque specialists Hoffman& Burton, and a considerable amount of rectification work wascarried out, with particular attention to brakes and clutch.

It is familiar history today how the Aston Martin works team’sultimately World Championship-winning exploits in sports carendurance racing during the late 1950s also inspired in team patronDavid Brown the ambition to enter Formula 1, and to attack theDrivers’ - and newly introduced Constructors’ - World Championshipcompetitions in parallel.After a single-seat open-wheeled Formule Libre prototype car hadbeen constructed and campaigned in New Zealand by Aston Martin’shighly respected team leader, Reg Parnell, a serious Formula 1programme was initiated although financial and technical restraintswould see the pace of its progress being governed by the sportsracingDBR1/300 schedule that the Feltham racing department hadto pursue at the same time.Design of the Feltham racing department’s new Formula 1 carwas developed during 1957-58, following the classical Grand Prixconfiguration of a front-mounted engine driving a rear-mountedgearbox-cum-final-drive assembly. In this it was absolutely in line withperhaps the quintessential front-engined Grand Prix car design of the1950s: the Maserati 250F. Except that here would be a Formula 1 carbuilt to the painstaking standards of Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd.The chassis structure chosen by the Aston design team was avery lightweight, fine-gauge tubular steel spaceframe, to be clad intypically handsome thin-gauge aluminium bodywork. Power wasprovided by a 2½-litre version of the marque’s highly successful3.0-litre six-cylinder twin-overhead-camshaft racing engine, and itdrove via an exposed propeller shaft to the DBR1-type transaxle,mounted in line with the de Dion-type rear suspension.Four of these DBR4/250 Formula 1 cars were to be produced -ultimately emerging at the start of the 1959 racing season - and theywere campaigned during that year’s Formula 1 World Championshipby works drivers Ray Salvadori and Carroll Shelby.Salvadori achieved a notable 2nd place upon the new design’sdebut in the BRDC International Trophy race at Silverstone, butwhen unexpected sports car success persuaded David Brown toconcentrate attention upon the parallel DBR1 sports car programme,it was inevitable that effort in Formula 1 would be relaxed. This wasthe right decision, as it enabled Aston Martin to achieve Brown’sambition by beating Ferrari and Porsche to that year’s Sports CarWorld Championship title - becoming the first British marque toachieve this colossal honour.When the surviving DBR4 cars ultimately found their way into Historicracing in the later 1960s/1970s, one of the cars - DBR4 chassis ‘1’- passed into the ownership of Aston Martin connoisseur GeoffreyMarsh, whose Marsh Plant company supported its highly successfulappearances at Historic level, driven by Gerry Marshall.The Specialist Car Division of Marsh Plant in Havant, Hampshire, hadalso owned the 1959 Le Mans-winning DBR1/300 at that time, andafter it was sold Geoffrey Marsh approached the Vintage Sports CarClub concerning a new project, to recreate the long-lost Formula 1DBR4 chassis ‘2’ which had been broken up by the factory in period,the rebuild to absorb the myriad of original components, includinga 2½-litre Formula 1 engine, 95-degree cylinder head and DavidBrown transaxle, which he had collected during Marsh Plant’s periodcampaigning both DBR 1/300 and DBR4/1.That reconstructed car - a replica of ‘DBR4/2’ - is now offered here,having been acquired by the current vendor at Bonhams & Brooks’second annual sale at Aston Martin Works Service, Newport Pagnellin May 2001 (Lot 193).At that time the car was in virtually complete but disassembled form,having been preserved in storage for several years within a majorBritish Aston Martin collection. When first completed by Mr Marsh’stechnicians, this car first fired into life in March Plant’s Havant yardon 13th July 1982, and the VSCC accepted it as a Group IV HistoricRacing Car that September.Motor Cars | 103


On 7th October 1982 the Aston was test run at Goodwood andafter attention to the gearchange mechanism it evidently operatedmost impressively.On Sunday 14th October 1984 this car ran in the ‘Streets ofBirmingham’ Historic event, alongside its older sister – ‘DBR4/1’- the exceedingly handsome pair of front-engined Aston MartinFormula 1 cars being driven, respectively, by the former worksteam’s 1959 Le Mans-winning driver pairing of Roy Salvadori andCarroll Shelby. After that event the car was sold to John Pearsonfrom whom it passed eventually to the immediately precedingowner, in whose hands it was preserved and dismantled.In May 2001 the car was offered for sale at the Bonhams & Brooksauction with all major mechanical components, the basic multitubularspaceframe chassis and body panels being accompaniedby the correct principal engine components, the latter including thecrankcase/block, cylinder head, suitable pistons, con-rods, camcovers, etc. Also offered were the rare DBR1 and /4-type DavidBrown transaxle gearbox, suspension wishbones, links, uprights,anti-roll bars, de Dion tube, and even the fully instrumented dashpanel, the wood-rimmed steering wheel, fuel and oil tanks, Borraniwire-spoked lightweight racing wheels, centre-lock knock-ons, etcplus a myriad of small detail fittings and fixtures.It is understand that the primary body panels forward of the cockpitare in-period Aston Martin originals, as obtained via former ownerthe Hon Patrick Lindsay, while Marsh Plant’s own specialists madethe aluminium tail section new in the 1980s. The car was originallyassembled and tuned/developed as far as possible to what Mr Marshdescribed as ‘Neil Corner specification’ to match the very successfulDBR4/4 which had been campaigned by Neil with enormous successin contemporary Historic racing.Purchased by the current vendor at the May 2001 auction, the car wasrestored over the next three years by Beaufort Restorations with inputfrom various marque specialists at a cost of £170,000 (bills on file). TheAston returned to the racetrack at the Nürburgring in August 2004 andwon at Oulton Park later that same month with Barry Williams driving.In September 2004 the car competed at the Goodwood RevivalMeeting and at Donington Park, where the engine failed. It wasrebuilt with input from Jim Stokes and the Aston was once againback in action, competing at Donington Park in 2006 and 2007, andthe Goodwood Revival Meeting in ’07. Since then it has only racedby invitation including at Goodwood in 2009 and 2010. Over the lastfew years the car has been raced by John Clark and maintained bySid Hoole, while the vendor himself raced it at Goodwood in 2013and the 72nd Members’ Meeting in 2014. Now over 30-years old,this is a very well documented reconstruction of an important andcharismatic front-engined Grand Prix car.£350,000 - 400,000€430,000 - 490,0001Goodwood Revival, 2007 © Jim Houlgrave2Barry ‘Whizzo’ Williams and DBR4/250 on their way to victory,The Gold Cup meeting, Oulton Park, 2004 © Jim Houlgrave1104 | Goodwood festival of speed

Undeniably a Talbot Lago in all but name, this Darracq was built inParis and sold new to a diplomat in Sweden. Because The RootesGroup in England owned the rights to the name Talbot in Swedenand throughout the rest of Europe, excluding France, the car wasbadged as a Darracq but in all respects was identical to the TalbotLago T120 Majors alongside which it left the Suresnes productionline. The three-litre T120 and four-litre T150 Talbot Lagos wereamong the sensations of the Paris Auto Salon of 1934. Tony Lagofitted the Walter Becchia-designed three-litre, pushrod operatedoverhead valve engine in the lowered chassis of the T110. Thedesignation ‘Major’ denotes the more comfortable 3.2m wheelbaseof this late model. This cast iron, in line ‘six’ engine, with fourbearingcrankshaft, transmitted power through a four-speed Wilsonpre-selector gearbox and would form the mainstay of Talbot Lagoproduction right through to WWII.First registered in July 1939, this car spent most of its early life inSweden and Denmark and from 1960 to 1987 was owned and rebuiltby Bengt Makeprang, President of the Veteran Car Club of Denmark.Some ten years ago it was bought at ‘Retromobile’ in Paris by awell-known and seriously successful British historic rally competitorwho recognised its long distance touring qualities. Shortly afterwardsit was bought by the present owner, a former British HillclimbChampion, who had seen and admired the car at ‘Retromobile’.Its demanding new owner was to set up XAS 892 for reliable longdistance touring, much of the work being entrusted to Talbot Lagospecialist Bill Barrott, including work on the cylinder head, clutch,prop shaft and rear brakes, resurfacing the flywheel and fitting anew air silencer. The gearbox rebuild was entrusted to pre-selectorgearbox specialist Cecil Schumacher.Other work, and readily reversible modifications, completed to ensurebullet-proof Continental touring, included fitting of new wheels andhub caps, reconditioning of four dampers, fitting a new stainlesssteel petrol tank, together with new facet pumps, filter and regulatorand a new silencer. As recently as 2013 all brake shoes were relined,new front brake cables were fitted along with a new moderndistributor and a new WOSP lightweight, high torque, gear reductionstarter motor. Importantly the original mechanical fuel pump, startermotor and distributor have been retained and are offered with thecar should the new owner wish to revert to original specification.During its UK ownership the car has covered in excess of 22,000kmsand has successfully completed tours in Scotland, France, Austria,Slovenia and more recently a tour to The Pyrenees and Picos, as wellas much motoring in England and Wales.The supremely elegant four seater coachwork with its three positionhood - which the vendor advises is water-tight and moves in secondsto its alternative positions – is smartly presented in maroon livery withcream leather upholstery and is notable for its many quintessentiallyFrench art deco features, notably door furniture, luggage trunk lockfittings, coachwork swage lines and Marchal lighting.XAS 892 combines supreme elegance with sporting performance.It has proven tour reliability and the present owner reports that thisfine thoroughbred cruises without stress at 65mph and generallyreturns 18mpg.

3181925 Bugatti Type 23 Brescia TorpedoCoachwork by L Maron, Pot et CieRegistration no. XXE 32Chassis no. 2519Engine no. 893


‘Bugattis encapsulate concepts of engineering which, once seen,change your ideas radically and definitively. Drive them, and yourealise that each car is form and engineering in equilibrium, and awork of art.’ – William Stobbs, Les Grandes Routières.By the early 1930s Ettore Bugatti had established an unrivalledreputation for building cars with outstanding performance on roador track; the world’s greatest racing drivers enjoying countlesssuccesses aboard the Molsheim factory’s products and oftenchoosing them for their everyday transport. Developed from the firstBugatti to be built at Molsheim - the short-wheelbase Type 13 of1910 - the Type 13 ‘Brescia’ took that name following the factory’sfirst four places at the 1921 Italian Grand Prix for Voiturettes, heldat the eponymous racetrack in Lombardy. Longer wheelbaseType 22 and Type 23 models were made, both of which used thesingle-overhead-camshaft 16-valve Brescia engine and were builtalongside 8-valve ‘Petit Pur Sang’ versions. Some 2,000 Bresciaswere built between 1914 and 1926 with engine capacities of 1,368,1,453 and 1,496cc.A late example, Brescia chassis number ‘2519’ has the 1,496ccengine and according to factory records was delivered in May 1925to Paris where it was bodied by the little-known coachbuilder LMaron, Pot et Cie of Levallois-Perret. The staggered two-seatertorpedo body was commissioned by the Bugatti’s first ownerJean Haimovici, (Reference Bugantics, Vol 30, Number 1), aRomanian living in Paris who took the car with him when he movedto Czechoslovakia. Documentation on file lists various owners inCzechoslovakia and the car also comes with Czech registrationdocuments dating back to 1947.The last of these owners is one William Kevin Stewart, from 4thMay 1959, who brought the car to the UK where it was registeredby Automo Ltd of London NW6 in August 1959. Miraculously, theBugatti had survived in remarkably original condition; indeed, it isone of only a handful (The Brescia Bugatti book by Bob King wouldindicate only five Brescia’s are complete with these original parts)retaining its original body, bonnet, engine, gearbox and axles.Motor Cars | 109


Automo sold the Bugatti to Dr James Mirrey of Leavesden,Hertfordshire for £195 (receipt on file) and a couple of months lateran article about the car was published in Cars Illustrated (November1959 edition). A confirmed ‘Vintagent’, Dr Mirrey already owned theex-Holland Birkett Type 44 and had enjoyed various other Bugattisand Lancias in the past. Cars Illustrated noted that the Bugatti hadmanaged to cover the 1,000 miles from Prague despite a suspectSEV magneto that refused to fire all cylinders!Robert Patrick and Partner Ltd carried out various works while theBugatti was in Dr Mirrey’s ownership, including an engine rebuildin 1969 (see bills and correspondence on file). In the early 1980sthe car was acquired by Terry Cardy of Culford, Suffolk and sent toDavid Marsh of Middleton-by-Youlgrave, Derbyshire for restoration.Extensive works were carried out between September 1983 andAugust 1985 when the car was returned to Terry Cardy (bills on file).In 1987 the Bugatti was sold to the current vendors and itsrestoration was duly completed by the respected marque specialistErnest Allen of Dinedor, Hereford over the next two years. In 1988‘XXE 32’ was driven through France to Italy to attend the FerraraRally and the laying of the foundation stone of the new Bugattifactory, winning a concours prize.This trip was only the start of a most extensive and successfulinternational rallying career that has seen the T23 attend events inSweden, Holland, New Zealand and throughout the UK, as well asfurther visits to France, Italy, Sicily and Sardinia. Its most recentinternational outing was to the 2013 Brescia Rally in Alsace.No expense has been spared in keeping the Bugatti in tip-topmechanical condition, as evidenced by a substantial quantity of billsfrom Longland Hart for works to the brakes, wheels, gearbox, backaxle, crown wheel and pinion and engine, the latter being rebuilt in2003 around a new cylinder block supplied by Gianni Torelli, Italywith machining by Gentry Engineering. The most recent works werecarried out in preparation for the 2013 Brescia Rally in Alsace.The car comes with a most extensive history file containing theaforementioned Czech registration documents; the original UKlogbook; copies of old V5 registration documents; photographsshowing the car at various stages of its life (including inCzechoslovakia); assorted correspondence; numerous invoices;various magazines and articles; current MoT certificate and V5C.A wonderful opportunity to acquire a well known and equally welldocumented Brescia.£200,000 - 250,000€250,000 - 310,0001On tour, Piazza San Marco, Venice1110 | Goodwood festival of speed

Classically proportioned and instantly recognisable from themoment of its introduction in 1958, the Touring-styled AstonMartin DB4 established a look that would survive, with only minorrevisions, until 1970. Designed by Tadek Marek and already provenin racing, the DB4’s new twin-cam six-cylinder engine displaced3,670cc while the gearbox was a new David Brown four-speedall-synchromesh unit. An immensely strong platform-type chassis,designed by Harold Beach, replaced the preceding DB2/4’s multitubularspaceframe, the latter being considered incompatible withTouring’s Superleggera body construction. The DB2/4’s trailinglinkindependent front suspension gave way to unequal-lengthwishbones while at the rear the DB4 sported a live axle located by aWatts linkage instead of its predecessor’s Panhard rod.Boasting disc brakes all round and with 240bhp on tap, the DB4was the first production car capable of accelerating from a standingstart to 100mph and back to rest again in under 30 seconds. At atime when few family saloons were capable of exceeding 70mphand took an age to get there, this staggering performance made theDB4 just about the fastest thing on the road, easily the equal of itsItalian rivals.The DB4 was available only as a closed coupé until September1961 when the convertible version was unveiled at that year’sMotor Show. Priced at £4,449, it was £250 more expensive thanthe coupé. Passenger space was little changed, though there wasmore headroom than the coupé could offer.Its accompanying copy guarantee form shows that ‘247 EXN’ wassold new in March 1963 to Wrinton Vale Nurseries of Congresbury,Somerset and was delivered finished in Caribbean Pearl withdark blue Connolly hide interior trim.

In the meantime, the DB4 had managedto accrue two AMOC Silverstone concours awards: a 3rd in 1992and a 2nd in 1993, beaten only by another AMWS-restored car.While in the Sondes Fields Collection the Aston has been usedsparingly, covering only some 5,000 miles over the course of thelast 20 years. R S Williams rebuilt the cylinder head in June 2001,installing new valve guides and seats (bill on file). On JosephCashin’s death, the Aston passed to his nephew and since thenhas been maintained by the Collection’s in-house mechanic, whosehand-written notes are on file.Driven regularly on private land, ‘247 EXN’ is described as ingenerally very good condition with excellent chassis and engine,the latter running very well, and should require only minimal recommissioningbefore returning to active use. The car is offeredwith service, parts and instruction manuals; sundry restorationinvoices; and V5 registration document.Combining Aston Martin’s traditional virtues of style andperformance with the joys of open-air motoring, the DB4Convertible is most sought after and highly prized today. With theexception of the Zagato, the DB4 Convertible is the rarest AstonMartin road car of the David Brown era with a total of only 70 built,six less than the legendary DB4 GT.£700,000 - 900,000€860,000 - 1,100,000Motor Cars | 115

Bonhams is delighted to offer here this outstanding example of thebiggest-engined, most powerful and most important sports-racingFerrari model built purely for works team use at the outset of the1954 International motor racing season.This is the factory-entered 4.9-litre Ferrari 375-Plus in which Mr Ferrari’sfavoured great road racing driver Umberto Maglioli ran secondin that year’s mighty Mille Miglia, and seemed poised to overwhelmdouble-World Champion Driver Alberto Ascari’s factory Lancia D24before a tuppeny-ha’penny split-pin came adrift within its transaxlegearbox and allowed the final-drive to cease driving, without inflictingany serious further damage…This is the factory-entered 4.9-litre Ferrari 375-Plus in which thelegendary Argentine ace José Froilán González obliterated all oppositionin the International sports car race supporting the Formula1 BRDC International Trophy race at th Silverstone May Meeting inGreat Britain.This great front-engined V12-cylinder sports-racing classic was thensold into private American hands, being campaigned in Sports CarClub of America, Bahamas Speed Week and Cuban events 1955-57by Kleenex millionaire Jim Kimberly and Howard Hively.In a later eccentric ownership, the car subsequently fell into disuseand half-forgotten neglect, its original structure and many disparatecomponents surviving despite rather than because of the mannerin which its truly extraordinary story developed. Ultimately it wasretrieved from such neglect, being painstakingly restored and rebuiltin Italy, its fortunes being revived by Belgian ownership centred uponno less a figure than Jacques Swaters – himself a former Ferrariprivate owner/driver and for decades Ferrari’s Belgian concessionairethrough his illustrious Ecurie Francorchamps organization.This is also the factory-entered 4.9-litre Ferrari 375-Plus in whichthe immensely stylish and sophisticated all-Italian driver pairing ofUmberto Maglioli and Paolo Marzotto led the Le Mans 24-Hour racethat same year.Motor Cars | 117

Today, with the restored and running car – reunited with its originallysold-off V12-cylinder engine - accompanied at this Sale by an extensiveand immensely significant back-up collection of since-replacedoriginal body paneling, tankage, wheels, brake parts and even periodtyres - plus a spare entirely re-made power unit, together with thecasting patterns originated for its manufacture - Ferrari 375-Plus‘0384’ is offered here, “on the button” and ready to run.This most important Ferrari’s background story begins in the winter of1953-54. Through that winter Mr Ferrari had recognized that his teamwould be looking down the gun barrel after two totally dominant seasonsof Drivers’ World Championship single-seater Grand Prix racing.Ferrari could not match the sophisticated new 8-cylinder Formula 1designs from Mercedes-Benz and Lancia, nor even the 6-cylinder250Fs from Maserati – all of which were poised for introduction thatnew season of ’54.Instead Mr Ferrari concentrated his engineers’ attention uponperfecting a line of large capacity sports-racing cars for customersale, backed by a secondary line of smaller variants, while having hiscompany’s single-seater Formula 2 designs from 1952-53 merelyupdated with larger 4-cylinder engines for the new season. And topromote and publicise the new sports cars, he approved developmentof a muscle-bound outsized ‘big bazooka’ for his works teamto wield.The series-production 4.5-litre Ferrari 375 Mille Miglia was to usea V12 engine derived from the 4.1-litre 340 America model series.It retained the 340-type stroke of 68mm was retained, but its boregrew to 84mm to displace 4,522cc. Power output was claimed tobe 340bhp at 7,000rpm. The engine was mounted in unit with a4-speed gearbox which left the completed car with pronouncedforward weight bias, and only the variable mass of live axle plus fueltank out the back. Pinin Farina won Ferrari’s commission to bodythese cars.Meanwhile, Mr Ferrari also authorized construction of a handful ofvery special even larger-capacity works team competition spiderswhich were intended as his main defence of the Sports Car WorldChampionship title. In the design office Ing, Aurelio Lampredi and hisassistants modified the highly-successful old 4.5-litre Formula 1 V12to accept screwed-in wet cylinder liners, enabling the bore dimensionto be increased to the same 84mm as the 375MM. This was thenmatched with the old F1 stroke of 74.5mm to achieve 4,954cc.The result would become known by the French racing community as‘Le Monstre’ and by the British as ‘The Fearsome Four-Nine’. Theworks car chassis to accept this outsized V12 featured two crucialdifferences from the 375MM ‘production’ model - an F1-style rearmountedgearbox in unit with the final-drive, plus de Dion rear suspensionin place of a live axle. Strangely, Ferrari claimed only 330bhp,though at 6,000rpm, for this new 375-Plus against the 340 at 7,000for the off-the-shelf 375MM.It appears that five of the cars were manufactured for works teamuse, taking even chassis numbers 0384, 0386, 0392, 0396 and 0398– all with the familiar ‘AM’ (America) suffix.Motor Cars | 119

On February 28, 1954, ‘Nino’ Farina won easily at Agadir, Morocco,driving the first 375-Plus with Piero Scotti’s 375MM third. The followingweekend, both cars contested the Dakar GP in Senegal, whichScotti won once Farina had retired the Plus – after setting a recordnew fastest lap.On April 4 the Giro di Sicilia round-Sicily road race saw UmbertoMaglioli/Nino Cassani running a lone 375-Plus, Ferrari then claiming347bhp at 6,800rpm from its 4.9-litre engine. It could be revved to8,000rpm in extremis. The Giro car was said to weigh only 2,111lbsand to be capable of 186mph…At the 675-mile race’s first control, in Trapani, Maglioli led PieroTaruffi’s works Lancia D24 V6 by 67secs. Two hours later, at Agrigento,Taruffi led Maglioli by 1min 58secs. But after four hours’ racing,at Enna, Maglioli led the entire Lancia team by nearly 3mins 30secs.Mr Ferrari rated young Maglioli highly, regarding him years after as“…a very fast long-distance racer, as well as being a capable andserious man, willing to face the difficulties of any course, any distance– he kept his position on the team as a safe, reassuring asset”. ByMr Ferrari’s standards this is a paean of praise, despite Maglioli’sluck running out in Sicily as he rolled the 375-Plus just after the Ennacontrol and service depot. Taruffi was left unchallenged to win theGiro for Lancia.Italy’s all-important Mille Miglia followed on May 1. The 375-Plus engines’power curve had been improved, maximum torque boosted bysome 10 per cent, unleashing extra mid-range power and drivability- 315lbs/ft torque increased to 348lbs/ft, with an additional 25bhpmid-range.But in the dark, damp, small hours Farina crashed his race-favourite375-Plus soon after the start at Peschiera, bouncing off a concretepost and smashing into a tree. He broke his arm and nose, passengerLuigi Parenti his leg and pelvis. The car was so badly wrecked itsidentity was scrapped.Maglioli in the surviving works 375-Plus (‘0384 AM’ offered here) andhis team-mate Paolo Marzotto’s 375MM then ran 4 th and 5 th as threeworks Lancias danced away on the rainswept roads. Maglioli inheritedthird place when Castellotti’s and Taruffi’s Lancias failed. Beforethe Florence control Paolo Marzotto’s 375MM retired with gearboxtrouble but Maglioli found himself well placed in ‘0384AM’ headedonly by Ascari’s Lancia. While Ascari’s time to Florence was 8hs22mins 18secs (averaging 86.8mph after 729 miles of wet-weatherroad racing) – Maglioli’s in the surviving Ferrari 375-Plus had been8:27:25.6Motor Cars | 121

Umberto Maglioli recalled how he was in good shape, and poised togo for victory on the straight, flat-out final section from Bologna toBrescia, where the ‘Four-Nine’ could catch and overwhelm the littleLancia: “There it was very good, but the problem was always that it wasso impossible to stop the car, and therefore to relax at any stage. Webelieved there was always the danger that a tyre could blow. The rearmountedgearbox was taken from the 4.5-litre Formula 1 and the larger4.9-litre engine put it in danger… due to the extra torque. I was carefulalways to accelerate gently, not to overstress the gearbox, nor the tyres.“I was feeling fairly confident that on the flat, fast final section from Bolognato Brescia the great power of the Ferrari would give me five or tenminutes’ advantage over Ascari. I knew I had a strong chance of winningat that point as we crossed the Raticosa Pass…“Then as I was thinking this, I just accelerated at one point and theengine roared and the car did not accelerate. It was slowing down, andthere was no connection to the rear wheels. A split-pin had fallen out,a pinion bearing came loose and the gearwheels moved out of mesh.I just abandoned the Ferrari in a peasant’s yard far out in the remotecountryside, and eventually drove down to Bologna in a private car…“It was a great disappointment, but in motor racing we were all well accustomedto disappointment.”Left unchallenged, Alberto Ascari won the Mille Miglia comfortablyfor Lancia, ending a string of six consecutive Ferrari victories in theMille Miglia.Ferrari ‘0384AM’ offered here was then retrieved from its rural refuge,and with its final-drive easily repaired at Maranello it was trailered twoweeks later to Silverstone, England behind the Ferrari factory teamtransporter carrying the sister Formula 1 entries. Lead driver was to bethe spectacular Argentinian José Froilán González in the 17-lap (50-mile)sports car race supporting the Formula 1 ‘Daily Express’ InternationalTrophy at the BRDC May Meeting.The British press was spellbound by the roly-poly Argentine’s spectaculardriving and searing pace, for at Silverstone he showed it all. TheBritish journalists nicknamed González ‘The Pampas Bull’. He certainlycharged around Silverstone to tremendous effect, not only dominatingthe sports car race by leading virtually from start to finish in the ‘0384AM’ but also winning both his Formula 1 race Heat in his factory Ferrari‘Squalo’ and the 35-lap Final in a substitute Ferrari 625 to make it a hattrickof wins that day in May.He also set fastest Formula 1 lap at 95.79mph (in the 625) while in the375-Plus he had averaged 83mph on a damp and treacherous track.His fastest lap in ‘0384’ was 85.68mph,137,872 km/h. He lapped thelast-placed of the 27 starters three times, and by chance as he passedthe pits to complete his 16 th lap ‘0384 AM’ was completely alone on theSilverstone track…Fully 15 seconds of eery silence then passed before driver/constructorGeorge Abecassis came blaring through in his second-placed HWM-Jaguar. ‘The Fearsome Four-Nine’ had just eaten all its rivals alive.Motor Cars | 123

The 1954 Le Mans 24-Hour race followed. Maglioli and Paolo Marzottoco-drove this Silverstone-winning ‘0384 AM’ while González/Maurice Trintignant and Louis Rosier/Robert Manzon handled sister‘Four-Nines’. British journalist Gregor Grant of ‘Autosport’ wrote:“The big 4.9-litre cars came to the Sarthe with a dreadful reputationfor handling properties. Stories were freely circulating that driverswere averse to piloting them, and that it was as good as signing theirdeath warrant to go to Le Mans.“Admittedly they are brutal-looking devices, but one could scarcelybelieve that the genius who has been responsible for the developmentof the wonderful Ferrari racing cars, would risk the lives ofdrivers with a dangerous contraption.“Paolo Marzotto admitted that, at first, the cars are terrifyingly fast,but constant practice made them as easy to control as any modernsports-racing car…“Watching them in action, it was obvious that the more experienceddrivers, such as González and Trintignant, preferred to use the ‘slowin, fast out’ method of cornering, and not to risk using up theirbrakes to try to save seconds. They were perfectly aware that theycould out-accelerate anything on the circuit, and that they couldmatch the better streamlined (D-Type) Jaguars for sheer maximumspeed on the straights.”Paolo Marzotto ran second in ‘0384 AM’ during the opening stagesof the great race, as González led from the young Italian with Manzon’ssister works 375-Plus third.‘The Autocar’ reported how: “Gonzalez, lights on to encourage theslower cars to give room, tore past the stands on the outside of theslight bend, cut across fairly quickly and took the right-hander underthe Dunlop Bridge about eighteen inches from the side line, exhaustcrackling until his foot went down again; the Ferrari was rock-like inits steadiness. Tony Rolt’s Jaguar was equally impressive, his lineunder the Bridge being one long, beautiful swerve (while) Marzottowas carving closer in, pulling his Ferrari over immediately after thecrisp down-change for the bend.”Young Marzotto then moved this Ferrari, race number ‘3’ into thelead, swopping first place to-and-fro with team leader González asrain began. At the end of the second hour’s racing González/Trintignant’s375-Plus led the Marzotto/Maglioli car with the Stirling Moss/Peter Walker Jaguar D-Type third. On lap 27 Marzotto regained thelead and when he eventually stopped to refuel he rejoined withouthanding over to his senior co-driver Maglioli. Problems striking theworks Jaguars then left the Ferrari fleet in full control. After four hoursthe Ferrari 375-Plus trio were circulating 1-2-3 – González, Marzottoand Robert Manzon. Although the rain was abating, the trackremained slick and treacherous.13Motor Cars | 125

On March 20, 1958, Hively sold the then-obsolescent Ferrari - onKimberly’s behalf - to fellow Cincinatti resident, Karl Kleve, for$2,500. Kleve collected old and interesting cars – and the occasionalaircraft – and enjoyed converting, uprating and generallytinkering with them. He may have planned to replace the Ferrari’s bigV12 engine with a stock V8, but time passed – other projects tookprecedence and ‘0384’ languished on a trailer, abandoned outdoorson one of Karl Kleve’s woodland properties, just outside Cincinatti.The old car’s V12 engine, at least three of the huge drum brakes, andthe engine cover, boot lid and doors had been removed, becomingburied for years amongst other detritus in one of his barns. Thecockpit area paneling suffered localized burn damage, said to havebeen caused by a cockpit wiring fire. Meanwhile the denuded chassisand main aluminium body sat outside, in sun, rain and snow…and itsrear end, especially, began to corrode…Around 1970 Karl Kleve sold the original V12 engine to GM engineerFred Leydorf. The years rolled on, with ‘The Fearsome Four-Nine’still languishing on Kleve’s woodland lot, a sapling tree first sproutingthen maturing through its empty engine bay.On or about January 13, 1989, this car was removed – unbidden -from Kleve’s land. It was taken down into Georgia, whence it was acquiredby a French buyer, one ‘Giles Christian’ for $50,000. As earlyas that February the frame and surviving attached body were shippedto Antwerp, Belgium, bound for Michael Kruch’s L’Exception Automobileconcern. In America Karl Kleve had reported the car stolen, andthe Belgian authorities impounded it to investigate. They concluded ithad been bought in good faith and that its European title was sound.In February 1990 the car was released and sold the following monthto veteran racer and Belgian Ferrari concessionaire Jacques Swatersin partnership with enthusiast Philippe Lancksweert.While litigation triggered by its extraction from Karl Kleve’s tenureensued within the US, ‘0384 AM’ has remained in Europe eversince. Messrs Swaters and Lanksweert had it gleamingly restored inModena, under the supervision of respected former factory Assistenzamanager Gaetano Florini. The corroded original body paneling wascarefully removed and preserved, rusted sections of the chassis –most notably at the long-exposed rear – were removed, replaced butalso kept and accompany the Lot now offered here. Respected localFerrari specialists Bachelli & Villa rebodied the car and a fresh V12engine to the correct spec was assembled and installed. Swatersshowed the car in Brussels and at Spa in 1992 and – most importantly- reached a settlement with Karl Kleve in the US.128 | Goodwood festival of speed

The SS100 Jaguar roadster offered here was formerly owned bySir Norman Wisdom, OBE, who acquired the car in June 1962 andkept it until April 1978 when it passed to the current vendor. Bornin 1915, Norman Wisdom was an actor, comedian and singersongwriterbest known for a series of immensely popular comedyfilms featuring his hapless onscreen character, Norman Pitkin: ‘TheSquare Peg’ (1958), ‘On the Beat’ (1962), ‘A Stitch in Time’ (1963)and ‘The Early Bird’ (1965). He later pursued an equally successfulcareer on Broadway and in television, and only retired from actingin 2005 at the age of 90. Wisdom was knighted in 2000 and diedin October 2010 at his home in the Isle of Man. He was also adedicated motoring enthusiast, owning two Bentleys (registered‘NW 1’ and ‘NW 2’) as well as this SS100.Launched for 1936, the SS100 was the first real high-performancemodel produced by SS Cars Limited and used a new Weslakedevelopedoverhead-valve engine in a shortened SS1 chassis. Theintroduction of the OHV unit was considered to justify the adoption ofa new name for the series, SS Cars boss William Lyons later recalling‘I immediately pounced on Jaguar as it had an exciting sound tome.’ (‘Jaguar’ would be adopted as the marque name in 1943, ‘SS’having by then acquired a somewhat tarnished reputation).‘SS’ originally stood for the Swallow Sidecar & CoachbuildingCompany, which had been founded in Blackpool, Englandby William Walmsley. The company branched out into motormanufacture in 1926, its first major success being an attractivesports saloon on the Austin Seven chassis, the design being thework of Walmsley’s partner, one William Lyons.Relocation to Coventry followed and the Swallow range expandedto include models on Morris Cowley, Wolseley Hornet and StandardSixteen chassis. Marque status arrived in October 1931 with thelaunch of the SS1, the chassis of which was supplied exclusivelyto Swallow by Standard, who also provided the six-cylindersidevalve engine and four-speed gearbox. Although unspectacularin performance, the SS1 went some way towards establishing thepattern for future Jaguars, combining sporting good looks with abetter-than-average specification and all at a bargain price.By the time the SS90 sports car arrived in 1935, William Heyneshad joined as Chief Engineer. Based on a shortened SS1 chassis,re-engineered by Heynes, the SS90 again demonstrated Lyons’consummate skill as a stylist, its long bonnet, smoothly flowingwings, cut-away doors and truncated tail making it every inch theepitome of the 1930s sports car. Although good for 90mph, theSS90 was handicapped by the limitations of its sidevalve engine,a deficiency that would soon be rectified by another of Lyons’ newrecruits, gas-flow consultant Harry Weslake.Motor Cars | 133


Launched in 1936 alongside the 2½-Litre saloon, the SS100Jaguar sports car marked the company’s first use of the ‘Jaguar’name. Beautifully styled in the manner of its SS90 predecessor,the newcomer employed a shorter, 102”-wheelbase chassis and arevised version of the 2,663cc Standard six which, equipped withWeslake’s overhead-valve cylinder head and breathing through twinSU carburettors, now produced 104bhp.Although a fine touring car, the SS100 was marketed as primarilyfor competition work. Its first major success came early, ifsomewhat unexpectedly, when Tommy Wisdom, crewed by his wife,won the arduous International Alpine Trial in 1936, beating Bugattiand bringing the fledgling marque to the attention of the Continentalpublic. This would be the first of many successful rallying forays,including class wins in the RAC events of 1937 and 1938, and theAlpine (outright) again in 1948. Around 198 2½-Litre and 116 of thelater 3½-Litre cars had been made by the time SS100 productionwas prematurely ended by the outbreak of war.Chassis number ‘18064’ was supplied new in 1937. The car’s earlyhistory is not recorded but there is a photograph on file showing itracing while carrying the registration ‘DWA 535’. Norman Wisdomhad the current registration ‘NW 100’ transferred to the car whenhe bought it in 1962 (see continuation logbook on file).The body and trim are different from those of standard cars, and itis believed that these differences were in place early in its life. Theonly other notified deviations from factory specification are externalexhaust pipes, twin spare wheels and different rear lights.‘NW 100’ has covered only some 1,000 miles in the last 20 yearsand will be serviced and MoT’d immediately prior to sale by marquespecialist David Wall of Hoveton, Norwich, who has looked after thecar since 1991. David’s bills are on file together with one for £1,200in 1995 from SS & Classic Restorations of Diss, Norfolk. Additionalpaperwork consists of a V5C registration document and a copy ofNorman Wisdom’s letter (dated February 1985) recalling that hepaid £300 for the car, spent considerably more having it completelyrenovated and kept it at his home in West Chiltington, Sussex untilthe gardener persuaded him to sell it!The SS100 was one of the fastest and best-handling sports carsof its day, as its competition record both before and after the warbears witness to. Representing a rare opportunity to acquire anexample of the model that can be said to have started the Jaguarlegend, ‘18064’ is eligible for a wide variety of the most prestigioushistoric motor sports events.£190,000 - 220,000€230,000 - 270,000134 | Goodwood festival of speed

That this new car, the Z8, is scorchingly fast comes as no surprise.It employs the potent 400-hp M5 powertrain, which endows theM5 sedan with the acceleration of a Corvette. Weighing about 500pounds less than the two-ton M5, the Z8’s performance is beyondquestion.’ – Car & Driver.In recent times many motor manufacturers, particularly those with asignificant sporting heritage, have felt the need to reference iconicmodels from the past when launching their latest. BMW has provedadept at exploiting this ‘retro’ trend, commencing in 1996 with theZ3 coupé and convertible, the styling of which brilliantly recalled itsfabulous ‘328’ sports car of pre-war days. Its next effort along similarlines - the ‘Z07’ concept car of 1997 - took its inspiration from thepost-war Alfred Goetz-designed ‘507’, a luxurious limited-editionroadster which, despite its sublime looks and superb performance,all but bankrupted the struggling German company.The sensation of the 1997 Tokyo Auto Show, the Z07 was receivedso enthusiastically that BMW took the decision to press ahead with aproduction version: the Z8. Some of the Z07’s less practical featureswere deleted, including the four-spoke steering wheel, ‘doublebubble’ hardtop and driver’s headrest fairing, but for the most partthe Z8 remained remarkably faithful to the original concept, retainingthe 507-like twin-nostril front grille and distinctive front-wing vents. Aperiod-style interior had been one of the Z07’s most remarked uponfeatures, and that too made it into the Z8. Car & Driver was movedto remark: ‘In truth, the Z8’s visual charisma is so powerful that justsitting in this car with the engine off is more fun than driving manyother cars. Then when you press the starter button – set apart, alsoa tribute to the past – another level of excitement begins.’The Z8’s body panelling and spaceframe chassis were fabricatedin lightweight and corrosion resistant aluminium, while the 32-valve4,941cc V8 engine, shared with M5 saloon, was built by BMW’sMotorsport division. With 400bhp on tap, the Z8 raced to 100km/h(62mph) in 4.7 seconds and only the built-in rev limiter stoppedit from exceeding 250km/h (155mph). Power reached the run-flattyres via a Getrag six-speed manual gearbox. Needless to say, theZ8 also came with all the modern appurtenances one would expectof a flagship model: traction control, stability control, front and sideair bags, GPS navigation, climate control and power operation ofthe seats, steering wheel and convertible hood all being included inthe package.The fact that the Z8 was a low-volume model assembled, for themost part, by hand enabled BMW to offer customers considerablefreedom in personalising their cars. Further enhancing its appeal tocollectors, the factory announced that a 50-year stockpile of Z8 partswould be maintained. Despite a (US) launch price of over $128,000,initial demand was so high that a bidding war broke out, with manyZ8s selling for well in excess of that figure. By the time productionceased in 2003, 5,703 of these fabulous cars had been built.In the current (third) owner’s hands since 2007, this Z8 has seenlittle use over the course of the last 2-3 years and has covered only26,500 miles from new. ‘Y228 SBE’ was last serviced in April 2014by Performance & Prestige Cars Ltd of Ewelme, Oxfordshire (see billfor £2,568 on file) and is described as in generally good condition.Complete with factory hardtop, this rare and collectible modernclassic is offered with sundry service bills, current MoT and V5Cregistration document.£80,000 - 120,000€99,000 - 150,000Motor Cars | 137

In 1932 Horch became part of the ‘Auto Union’ together with Audi,DKW and Wanderer. The firm produced a veritable plethora ofmodel variations throughout the 1930s, ringing the changes onengine capacity, wheelbase and styles of coachwork, but all wereaimed squarely at the prestige end of the market where Horch wasthe only serious domestic rival to Mercedes-Benz.Paul Daimler, son of Gottleib, had been Chief Engineer for most ofthe 1920s, and following his departure Fritz Fiedler (later of BMWfame) took over, designing a single-overhead-cam straight-eight- the Horch 450 - which was followed by 6-litre V12-powered 600and 670 models in 1931 and the V8-engined 830 and 930 in 1933.The 830/930 was available in two engine capacities – 3,517cc or3,823cc – and a variety of body styles including a saloon, limousine,tourer and three different types of cabriolet. Around 6,400 830sof all types had been made when production ceased in 1940, plussome 2,000 of the short-wheelbase 930.After WW2, Horch’s Zwickau factory ended up on the easternside of the ‘Iron Curtain’ where it would eventually be pressed intoservice manufacturing the utilitarian Trabant - a sad end to a oncenoble marque that had ranked among the very best.This rare and original German thoroughbred is presented inun-restored ‘time-warp’ condition having covered a mere 31,000kilometres from new in the hands of only two owners.The Horch was purchased new in 1938 from the Auto Union dealerBertel O Steen in Oslo by the industrialist and CEO of KampenMekaniske Verksted, Hans Andreas Hartner. Hartner was anengineer by education and still holds four international patents inmechanical engineering.When Germany invaded Norway on 9th April 1940, the carwas hidden away from the occupying German forces and onlyre-emerged in 1948, three years after the war’s end in the samepristine condition as when it had been concealed. The Horchwas only used on a very limited basis from 1948 to 1966 due toNorwegian restrictions on car ownership after WW2.On 1st June 1966 the car was bought by the current owner fromHans Andreas Hartner’s son, the odometer reading at that timebeing 22,000 kilometres. It has been kept in a climate-controlledgarage since 1966 and used sparingly. In May 1999 the Horch wasdriven from Bergen in Norway to Ingolstadt in Germany and back, adistance of 3,200 kilometres, to attend the Horch 100th anniversarycelebrations. Re-commissioned in May 2014 by the specialistpreparation company Ramsport, the car is presented in full workingorder and offered with its original Norwegian registration document,owner’s manual and the current vendor’s personal logbook.Should the vehicle remain in the EU, local import taxes of 5% will beapplied to the hammer price.£75,000 - 100,000€92,000 - 120,000Motor Cars | 1394


324 NThe ex-Lewis ‘Mac’ McKenzie1929 Bentley 4½-Litre Sports ‘Bluebell’Coachwork by CorsicaRegistration no. KW 5669Chassis no. RL3439Engine no. NT3127140 | Goodwood festival of speed


The 4½-Litre offered here - chassis number ‘RL3439’ – has one ofthe longest competition histories of any car known to the BentleyDrivers’ Club. Completed in March 1929, ‘RL3439’ was originallyfitted with engine number ‘RL3443’ and bodied as a Weymann-typesaloon by Gurney Nutting. The car was registered ‘KW 5669’ andsold new to one Edgar Heap of Ilkley, West Yorkshire. In 1932 MrHeap sold the Bentley to the second owner, Major A N Braithwaite ofLeeds. Bentley Motors’ service log shows that McKenzie’s Garagesserviced Major Braithwaite’s car for two years prior to ‘Mac’ acquiringit in 1936.A renowned tuner specialising in the preparation of the Cricklewoodcars, Lewis Charles ‘Mac’ McKenzie was a prominent figure inBentley circles during the 1930s. He is best known for preparingthe cars owned by ‘gentleman racer’ Forrest Lycett, at that timeone of the Bentley world’s biggest names. Like all successfulsportsmen, Lycett was always seeking to gain an advantage overhis rivals and constantly exploring ways of making his cars faster, towhich end he turned to ‘Mac’ McKenzie, proprietor of McKenzie’sGarages Ltd of London SW1, whose premises were located to therear of Victoria Station.Known as the ‘High Priest’ of Vintage Bentleys, it was ‘Mac’ whobuilt Lycett’s famous racing 8-Litre, ‘YX 5121’, shortening the chassisand tuning the engine to produce well in excess of 300 horsepower.The result was one of the fastest road cars of its day, which Lycettused to set class records at venues such as Brooklands, Lewes andShelsley Walsh.‘Mac’ followed principals proven on the 8-Litre when he was givenLycett’s new 4½-Litre to play with, shortening the chassis, loweringthe suspension and tuning the engine. Bodied by Corsica as a twoseaterin a style similar to that of the 8-Litre, this new car was named‘The Hooligan’. Delighted with way his new creation had turned out,‘Mac’ decided to build another for himself. Offered here, that carwas started in 1936 and on completion was painted in Riviera Blue,earning itself the nickname ‘Bluebell’ by which it has been knownever since. ‘Mac’ and ‘Bluebell’ had taken two wins at Crystal Palace(in 1939) plus 1st- and 2nd-in-class awards at the Lewes SpeedTrials before the outbreak of war brought such activities to a halt.After his death in August 1956, the Bentley Drivers Club, of which hewas a founder member, named the newly erected scrutineering bayat Silverstone in his honour.Motor Cars | 141


In 1942 ‘Mac’ had sold ‘Bluebell’ to Jack Evan-Cook, who intendedto race the Bentley after the war but ended up selling it to friendand fellow Bentley enthusiast Gordon Alexander. ‘Bluebell’ resumedits competition career with Gordon Alexander, winning at GransdenLodge in 1946 before passing to its next owner, BDC stalwartW A L Cook, in 1948. ‘Bill’ Cook had a number of competitiveoutings with ‘Bluebell’ in 1948 and ‘49 at venues including Hendon,Silverstone, Brighton Speed Trials and Firle Hill Climb, securing aclass win in the latter.Early in 1950 ‘Bluebell’ was acquired by Horace Wilmshurst andover the next two years continued to be energetically campaigned,winning at Feresfield, Goodwood, Hendon and Silverstone.Demonstrating that the Bentley had lost none of its roadability inthe process of conversion for racing, Horace and his wife Joan tookBluebell on a 3,000-mile continental touring holiday in 1951. In July1952 Wilmshurst sold the car to J A ‘Joe’ Walker, who continued torace it regularly until April 1957 when he crashed at Silverstone.1J A Walker in ‘Bluebell’ Silverstone, September, 1952© Ted Walker2‘Bluebell’ pushes on at VSCC Silverstone, July, 1953© Ted Walker12142 | Goodwood festival of speed


The next four recorded owners are E G Hefford (1965), Mrs D Russell(1967), Paul Harris (1972) and J E Meadows (1973).The last named commenced a rebuild but in 1974 the car was soldon to Major J H ‘Jack’ Bailey. In 1977 ‘Bluebell’ passed to wellknown Bentley aficionado and racer Tim Llewellyn, who rebuilt thecar and raced it successfully in BDC and VSCC events, as did hiswife and father. In 1986 Tim won the Class 2 category in the VSCC’sLakeland Trial, an event for which the Bentley was not consideredideal, further underlining the car’s all-round capability. In 2000 theLlewellyns reluctantly parted with ‘Bluebell’, which found a new homewith George Sandy. In 2010 ‘Bluebell’ returned to Goodwood to takepart in the Revival Meeting and is currently registered in Holland.Running on straight SAE50 oil, the engine incorporates a fullybaffled wet sump with double size oil pump and pressure reservoir.The Allen fully counter-balanced crankshaft turns on shell bearings,as do the tubular connecting rods, while other noteworthy featuresinclude Cosworth pistons, 8.5:1 compression ratio, fully gas-flowedcylinder head, standard camshaft and ‘Sid Lawrence’ style solidsteel rockers. Ignition is by coil and the engine breathes via twin SUHD8 carburettors.The gearbox is standard D Type and the 3.53:1 rear axle incorporatesa racing steel differential cage. The chassis has been shortened from10’ 10” to 9’ 9½” and the brakes converted to hydraulic operation.Starting instructions will be found in the history file.The Bentley’s history is fully documented by the accompanyingring-bound folder of press cuttings and factory record copies, and‘Bluebell’ also comes with FIA Historic Vehicle Identity Form (1990),Netherlands registration papers and old German Fahrzeugbrief(issued 2006). Retaining its beautifully proportioned Corsica bodyand boasting a competition history equalled by few of its peers,‘Bluebell’ represents a possibly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity toacquire this most celebrated of Bentley racing ‘specials’, created byone of the marque’s legendary practitioners, ‘Mac’ McKenzie.£480,000 - 560,000€590,000 - 690,000Motor Cars | 143


325The ex-works, Hoshino/Wada/A Suzuki, Le Mans 24 Hours1987 Nissan R87E Group C Sports PrototypeChassis no. 87G-3Engine no. VE45144 | Goodwood festival of speed


This Nissan sports prototype, chassis number ‘R87G-3’, is one offour upgraded to R88C specification for the 1988 season of GroupC sports car racing. Regarded by many as a modern ‘golden age’of international sports car competition, the FIA’s Group C categoryfor roofed prototypes lasted from 1982 to 1993. Rather than beingbased on engine capacity and weight, the traditional parameters ofmotor racing formulae, Group C placed a limit on the amount of fuelpermitted but otherwise allowed constructors virtually a free handin design. As interest in the class grew, the world’s major motormanufacturers joined the fray with Ford, Porsche, Jaguar, AstonMartin, Lancia, Mercedes-Benz, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota all fieldingworks entries.Nissan’s initial support for the formula was relatively low-key. In1983 they supplied engines for the privately run Hoshino team andit was not until 1985 that a factory competitions department wasformed, known as Nissan Motorsport, or ‘Nismo’. In 1986 Nissancommissioned the British manufacturer March to supply a chassissuitable for Group C. Designed by former McLaren Formula 1engineer Gordon Coppuck, it was a monocoque fabricated fromaluminium honeycomb panels, and featured side-mounted radiatorsfor greater aerodynamic efficiency. The four chassis built wereshipped to Nissan in Japan for completion.The Japanese manufacturer already had experience of building anengine for sports car racing, its production-derived V6, used initiallyby the Electromotive team for the IMSA GTP series in the USA, havingbeen undergoing development for the preceding couple of years.For 1986 this engne was extensively reworked to take advantageof the less restrictive Group C rules, re-emerging with an aluminiumblock and twin Garrett turbochargers, replacing the cast-iron blockand single turbocharger of the GTP unit. Around 700bhp wasavailable from this 3.0-litre engine in race trim, with up to 1000horsepower on tap for qualifying.The first of Nissan’s new R86 Group C prototypes debuted at anational race at Suzuka but was sidelined following a fire in practice.Lacking development, the R86 failed at Le Mans while an earlier R85could only manage 16th. All four cars competed at Fuji later in theyear, the two survivors finishing 10th and 11th. Undeterred by thesepoor results, Nissan regrouped for 1987.Its hopes for success were centred on a new purpose-built 3.0-litreV8 ‘VEJ30’ racing engine equipped with twin IHI turbochargers,which out-performed the old V6 in terms of both maximum powerand fuel economy. An exclusive chassis supply deal had beenconcluded with March, which shipped three new 87G cars to Japan.In Nissan nomenclature they became the R87E.Surprisingly, given the disappointments of 1986, Nissan once againundertook very little competition proving prior to Le Mans, which wasits primary objective, a single entry at Fuji being the R87E’s solitaryouting. The car failed to finish, as did the two R87Es that ran at LeMans. Engine failures had been the cause of all these retirementsso the V8 was completely redesigned for 1988 as the ‘VRH30’, theexisting March 86G/87G chassis being adapted to accommodate thenew power plant. These changes included a lengthened wheelbaseand revised aerodynamics on the resulting R88C cars.Motor Cars | 145

Learning from past mistakes, Nissan entered more races in the run upto Le Mans where it was represented by two works R88Cs and twoprivately entered V6-engined cars. Reliability once again proved tobe the Nissan’s Achilles heel, though the Japanese manufacturer didmanage to get one of the R88Cs to the finish, albeit 50 laps behindthe winning Jaguar XJR-9. The other car, that offered here, completed286 laps before the engine failed. ‘87G-3’ also competed in six racesat Fuji and Suzuka in 1988. Always carrying competitor number ‘23’,it was usually driven by Kazuyoshi Hoshino and Kenji Takahashi. Theywere joined by Win Percy for the Fuji 1000km in May, while for the LeMans 24 Hours, Hoshino was partnered by Takao Wada and AguriSuzuki. Its complete 1988 race history is as follows:3rd March - Fuji 500km, Hoshino/Takahashi, DNF10th April - Suzuka 500km, Hoshino/Takahashi, 6th1st May - Fuji 1000km, Hoshino/Takahashi/Percy, 7th12th June - Le Mans 24 Hours, Hoshino/Wada/A Suzuki, DNF24th July - Fuji 500miles, Hoshino/Takahashi, 5th28th August - Suzuka 1000km, Hoshino/Takahashi/T Suzuki, DNF9th October - Fuji 1000km, Hoshino/Takahashi/Grice, 9th1Pushing through the Porsche curves, Le Mans 24hr, 1988© LAT PhotographicDespite a switch to Lola chassis and the development of an enlargedV8 engine, Nissan had little to show for its involvement in Group C bythe time the factory pulled the plug on the campaign, pole position atLe Mans in 1990 being the summit of its achievement.‘87G-3’ later passed into the ownership of Robert Berridge ofBeckley, Oxfordshire, from whom it was acquired by the currentvendor. The car has been restored (see certification on file) andretains its 1988 Calsonic sponsor’s livery and Le Mans driver listing.The transmission and engine were rebuilt as part of the restoration,and Xtec Engineering’s £27,347 bill for its work on the latter, datedMay 2011, is on file also. Rebuilt to the specification of the later3.3-litre unit, the engine recorded a power output reading of 780bhpon the dynamometer. A later Stack dashboard is the only othernotified deviation from factory specification.‘87G-3’ has run for less than one hour since the rebuild’s completionand is presented in commensurately good condition.

326Factory certified, four owners from new, meticulously maintained1966 Ferrari 275GTB Long Nose Alloy BerlinettaChassis No. 08155Engine No. 08155148 | Goodwood festival of speed


Ferrari’s highly successful 250 series was superseded in 1964 by the275. Pininfarina was once again called upon to work his magic forthe Maranello concern, creating a true classic of sportscar design forthe 275GTB.Penetrative nose, long bonnet, purposeful side vents, high waistline,short be-spoilered tail: these were all ingredients of the recipe yetthe result was so much more than merely the sum of its parts.The tail spoiler and cast-alloy wheels echoed developments firstseen on Ferrari competition cars, while beneath the skin there wasfurther evidence of racing improving the breed, the independentrear suspension - seen for the first time on a road-going Ferrari -employing a double wishbone and coil-spring arrangement similarto that of the 250LM racer. The adoption of a rear-mounted fivespeedtransaxle combining the gearbox and differential in a singleunit helped improve weight distribution, and the feature wouldcharacterise future generations of front-engined Ferrari road cars.Now enlarged to 3.3 litres, the 60-degree V12 engine remainedthe familiar Colombo type, in standard form producing 280bhp at7,600rpm. A higher - 300bhp - state of tune employing six Webercarburettors was available, and this was used for the handful ofaluminium-alloy bodied 275GTB/C (Competizione) models built,though customers purchasing a 275GTB for road use could alsospecify aluminium coachwork and/or the six-carburettor engine.Sadly, by 1968 the progress of automobile emissions legislationhad effectively outlawed the 275GTB and its like from Ferrari’s mostlucrative export market, the United States, and the model wasphased out later that same year.Never has the marque or model been so fashionable than it istoday, the 275 being truly appreciated for its ‘end of an era’ flowingcurves and beauty, as well as the broad eligibility which it affords itscustodians.This example must surely be one of the very best that exists in theworld by any yardstick, it combines a simplicity of ownership, hugelydesirable specification packaged in an unusual and supremelyelegant colour scheme.08155 was delivered new to Luigi Lupini an Italian living in Bramley,Johannesburg, South Africa. It was specifically designed with thislocation in mind, it had a three carburettor set up, so as to obviateincessant tweaking of its aspiration, and in preference to an allleather interior, in the humid Jo’burg, the driver and passenger seatswere special order leather sides with cloth centre panels, sometimesdesignated as ‘Tropicale’ specification.In October 1977 it transitioned within the same family, becomingthe property of Lupini’s son Nimetta, then being registered in theircompany name. It remained still in that family when it left its originalhome and returned to Europe to be offered for sale at public auctionat the Nürburgring in August 1991. Now 25 years old, it had covereda mere 28,000 kilometers from new.At this point it passed to its second owner, Sanders van der Veldenof the Netherlands.Motor Cars | 149

Staying in Continental Europe for much of the next 8-9 years, itwould change hands just once more to Dr. Michael Duess before itwas discovered there by an agent representing the current owner.His remit was very simple, he was commissioned to find a 275GTB which would prove to be the most usable of tour cars whichwould be routinely driven, and the best example that was available.In line with these parameters, it was decided to source a triplecarburettored alloy Berlinetta.When 08155 became available in 1999 the agent hotfooted it toGermany. He inspected, agreed the deal and drove it back to theUK, an exercise which was accomplished with typical ease andwithout issue.At first it was deemed to check the car over mechanically, to ensureit could be used as intended. At the same time and ahead of thecurrent interest in originality, the owner and agent very sensiblydecided that the original seats were likely to suffer from use andthat since they were in relatively good shape it would be wise toremove them. A second set of 275 seats were found and recoveredin matched deep red leather, while the originals were sympatheticallyrefurbished and the central fabric carefully cleaned. These remainwith the car and could be refitted if necessary.Some light paintwork was carried out, specifically it was notedthat the doors had suffered corrosion inside, no doubt from theiroriginal delivery location. These were carefully restored and the paintmatched. It is thought that just one previous repaint had been carriedout in the early 1970s.Over the course of the last 15 years, the car has been systematicallymaintained with absolutely no regard for the cost of doing so. Thiswork has almost exclusively been entrusted to Bob Houghton’sfamed Ferrari garage in Northleach. Routinely after any event a‘snag’ list has been supplied and everything fixed however large orsmall an undertaking. More major work carried out has included anengine and gearbox rebuild as well as replacement of the engine andgearbox mounts, the suspension and brakes were fully rebuilt andthe fuel system including both mechanical and electric pumps wererebuilt also. While rebuilding the engine, the opportunity was taken torepaint the engine bay. Not surprisingly these invoices are fastidiouslydocumented and accompany the car.As a true custodian of an important Ferrari, the owner has balancedhis work with play ensuring that the car has been present at the mostsignificant gatherings of 275s and Ferraris.1The original seats are offered with the car1Motor Cars | 151


The car was debuted in his ownership at the Ferrari Owners ClubNational Meeting and Concours at Broughton Castle, in July 2001, itreturned there the following year also winning the Roy Taylor trophy.2004 was an important year for the model, when it celebrated its 40thAnniversary, accordingly, a road tour and concours was organisedby Ferrari and its owner entered 08155 on this event. The trip tothe factory coincided with the company’s introduction of its nowuniversally understood Classiche program for authenticating Ferraris.Long before this term became so important in the provenance ofany collectible Ferrari the owner of the car was keen to have his carproperly assessed and submitted it for certification. Naturally, for suchan original and unmolested car it passed with flying colours.Similarly, on the 60th Anniversary of Ferrari in 2007, the car returnedto Fiorano to be displayed at the company organised festivities.Again testament to the car it placed 3rd in Class, and where pointswere noted on the judging sheet as deduction these were rectifiedor improved as they have been after all concours entries. Anothersuccessful showing came at the FOC Boughton Castle Concoursin 2012, while other tours completed have included the Rallye desAlpes, 2008 Watch Tour, 2010 Mille Miglia Tribute rally, and mostrecently the 2013 edition of the Italia Classica. In order to participatein these events FIVA papers were secured, which although nottransferable, would clearly be easily re-applied for in new ownership.In fifteen years of current ownership, only a further 1,000kilometers a year have been added to its mileage gauge, readingjust under 48,500kms (30,000 miles) this is an exceedinglymodest number for a near 50 year old car. It has always beenserviced by Bob Houghton, and is absolutely ‘on the button’ andready to go.By definition this is a rare derivative of a rare breed, if gaugedby Dyke Ridgley’s Cavallino listing of production variants, lessthan 10% of the 454 cars were delivered as left hand drive LongNose Alloy Berlinettas. It is not unthinkable to suggest that this isthe only to have arrived with its first owner in the appealing andunderstated guise of Argento paint with Rosso interior and thespecial ‘Tropicale’ seats.So, there you have it, a meticulously maintained, ultra rare, factorycertified Ferrari - it doesn’t get more covetable or collectible thanthat, it is certainly one of the finest ‘Prancing Horses’ that Bonhamshas had the privilege to offer.£2,200,000 - 2,500,000€2,700,000 - 3,000,000152 | Goodwood festival of speed

Slides327Multiple concours-winning1963 Daimler SP250 RoadsterRegistration no. 4068 WKChassis no. 101553Engine no. 97382An unusual departure for a firm more noted for its stately limousines,the SP250 sports car was Daimler’s final fling before its acquisition byJaguar. Aimed at the North American market and launched in 1959,the SP250 employed a separate ladder-type chassis on which satcontroversially styled glassfibre coachwork manufactured by Daimlerthemselves. Four-wheel disc brakes were an unusual feature at the timebut unquestionably the car’s biggest virtue was its magnificent 2.5-litreV8 engine.An outstandingly flexible unit, the smaller of Daimler’s two Edward Turnerdesigned V8s produced 140bhp, an output good enough to propel theSP250 to a top speed of 125mph. In keeping with the demands of itsintended market, automatic transmission was available as an option. Themodel survived Jaguar’s 1960 take-over, benefiting from its new owner’sattention that resulted in the much-improved ‘B’ version. Introduced inApril 1961, the SP250 ‘B’ boasted a stiffer chassis and thicker glassfibrecoachwork while its ‘C’ replacement, introduced in April 1963, differedonly in detail. Sadly, the Jaguar E-Type’s arrival meant the SP250’s dayswere numbered and production ceased in 1964.Left-hand drive chassis number ‘101553’ was a special order throughClark & Simpson of Sloane Square, London and was registered as ‘4068WK’ in January 1963 by the factory on behalf of its only former keeper. Thecar spent its first 2½ years in Roehampton, West London before beingtaken to the owner’s house on the Algarve. After 26 years in Portugal it waspurchased by the current vendor and brought back to the UK.‘4068 WK’ is the best known SP250 in the world with 96 concourswins over the years. It has been featured in numerous classic carmagazines and is included in Quentin Willson’s ‘Ultimate Classic CarBook’. Its most notable accolades include ‘Best SP250’ in the Daimler& Lanchester Owners’ Club (numerous wins); Masterclass winner inthe Daimler & Lanchester Owners Club (numerous occasions); ‘Best inShow’, Alexandra Palace Classic Car Show; ‘Best Sports Car’, BromleyPageant; Autoglym/Popular Classi````````cs Magazine National Winner;Masterclass winner and ‘Best in Show’, Brighton & Hove Motor Club(several occasions); Autoglym ‘Best in Show’, Folkestone national event;plus numerous other ‘Best in Show’ awards: Knebworth, Shuttleworth,Blenheim Palace, Penshurst Place, Colchester, Luton Hoo and BraemarHouse.‘4068 WK’ has covered only 72,930 kilometres (45,316 miles) fromnew and was restored in 1992. The car retains its original registrationand original Dunlop wire wheels, while the colour combination of silverpaintwork, St James’ Red leather trim and grey hood, tonneau coverand hood bag is exactly as it was when the car left the factory. Othernoteworthy features include an unleaded fuel conversion, electronicignition, a stainless steel exhaust system and an electric cooling fan withits own control switch.

FHJ 39DChassis no. 1E50112Engine no. 7E51015-9The first significant up-grade of Jaguar’s sensational E-Type sportscar occurred in October 1964 with the launch of a 4.2-litre version,which featured an all-synchromesh gearbox and a host of otherimprovements as well as the bigger, torquier engine. The E-Type’stop speed of around 150mph remained unchanged, the mainperformance gain resulting from the larger engine being improvedacceleration. Like its 3.8-litre forbear, the 4.2-litre E-Type was built inroadster and coupé forms, and in 1966 was joined by an additional‘family friendly’ 2+2 coupé variant on a longer wheelbase. Withthe 2+2’s increased length and additional rear seats came greaterheadroom, more luggage space, improved heating/ventilation andoptional automatic transmission.An early example of its type (the 2+2 chassis number sequencecommenced at ‘1E50001’) this right-hand drive E-Type Coupé hasthe desirable manual transmission option. The car was purchased bythe immediately preceding owner in 2000 having already undergonepartial restoration, including a repaint, much of the work being carriedout by Jaguar specialists, Martin Robey.Since then further restoration has been undertaken by D & A DennisEngineers of Essex, including £5,500-worth of general works tothe chassis, interior, electrics, engine bay, body, etc. In addition,renowned marque specialists, J D Classics carried out extensiverenovation at a cost of circa £44,000, which was completed in 2004.Systems overhauled/parts replaced included the suspension, brakes,sills, carburettors, exhaust, wiring, battery, radiator, fans, heater andsun visors, (see full breakdown of works on file). Subsequently thecar was fully serviced by Racing Green and fitted with a high torquestarter motor.The current vendor purchased the E-Type at Bonhams’ GoodwoodRevival sale in September 2012 (Lot 131). Since then the car hasbenefited from some £15,000 spent with marque specialists TwyfordMoors on various works including rebuilding the differential andrear brake callipers; replacing the rear discs; fitting a new Facet fuelpump and braided fuel lines; renewing the steering rack mounts;fitting 1.2.3 electronic ignition; replacing the clutch slave cylinder;and repairing the alternator.

Few cars can have come to light as spectacularly as this magnificentveteran, which was discovered during World War Two when aGerman bomb demolished the stable in which it had been sleepingon blocks since 1912. With just four owners from new, this powerfulfour-cylinder 4078cc De Dietrich is identical in specification to theworks racers built for the 1902 Paris-Vienna Race.“Same as you can buy” has always been a potent sales tool formotor makers, who realise that competing in motor sport withexamples of their production models is excellent advertising. Thatwas as true in 1902 as it is today, and the excitement engenderedby that year’s Paris-Vienna race, which was run concurrently with theGordon Bennett Trophy, saw De Dietrich of Lunéville (Lorraine) enterfour of their new 16-hp cars, which were built under a licence signedearlier that year with Turcat-Méry of Marseille.The roots of the De Dietrich company lay in Alsace, where in 1681the burgomaster Dominique de Dietrich had signed the act that madeStrasbourg a French city. Soon after, the de Dietrichs acquired anironworks at Niederbronn, 26 miles north of Strasbourg, to establisha metallurgical business that by the mid-19th Century had become aspecialised manufacturer of railway wheels, axles and rails.However, after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, Alsace and partof the neighbouring province of Lorraine had been annexed by thevictorious Germans, who instituted protectionist customs duties thatprejudiced sales to the firm’s main customers in France. To counterthis, in 1879 De Dietrich set up a French subsidiary in Lunéville, aborder town that attracted former citizens of the annexed territorieswho had chosen exile rather than adopt German nationality. Thesubsidiary became a separate company in late 1897.Earlier in that year De Dietrich of Lunéville had acquired the licence tobuild cars designed by Amédée Bollée, but these idiosyncratic flattwinautomobiles had become thoroughly outmoded by 1901. Boardmember Baron Adrien de Türckheim, whose father had married intothe de Dietrich family and ran the Lunéville factory, looked around foran up-to-date successor. Early in 1902, Adrien de Türckheim visitedNice – probably for the Automobile Meeting at the beginning of April– and saw an unfamiliar car that interested him. It was a Turcat-Mérydriven by the crack driver, Rougier, and the influential journalist PaulMayan introduced Adrien de Türckheim to its makers, the cousinsLéon Turcat and Simon Méry.They had built a car as early as 1896 and established amanufacturing company in their home town of Marseille in 1899.Their latest models had been built for the proposed 418-mile Nice-Abazzia contest, in which they were thought likely to “prove one ofthe revelations of the coming race”, but the last-minute prohibition ofthe contest gave them no chance to prove their mettle.Motor Cars | 157


De Türckheim was taken for a drive in one of the new Turcat-Mérys,and was so impressed by its design that he took out a licence tobuild Turcat-Mérys under the De Dietrich name at Lunéville (aroundthe same time Niederbronn acquired the services of a mercurialyoung Italian designer named Ettore Bugatti whose designs provedmore troublesome).In its report on the Nice meeting, The Autocar disclosed that aTurcat-Méry “had been disposed of to Mr Guinness, the famousbrewer of Dublin”. Describing the new Turcat-Mérys as “reallysplendid vehicles”, the magazine added, “We were informed that thecar has been timed to run at the rate of 52 to 55 mph on good levelroads. It is certainly very fast, and we were given an opportunity oftrying the vehicle by a run through Nice and down to the sea front,when the motor showed a great elasticity and the speeds werechanged promptly with perfect ease.”The Autocar waxed lyrical about the 16-hp De Dietrich (Turcat-Mérysystem) when the first examples arrived in Britain in the autumnof 1902: “These fine vehicles are the output of the great firm ofDe Dietrich and Company, of Lunéville, a firm of rolling stock andlocomotive builders whose name is a household word in engineeringcircles on the Continent. As now turned out, the De Dietrich carriagemade its first bow to the public in the recent Paris-Vienna race, whenthree 16-hp cars faced the starter, and all performed in a mannerso creditable as to astonish automobilists in general and the olderconstructors of automobiles in particular.It is seldom, if ever, that racing automobiles have done so well onfirst appearance. Although combining many of the best points of thelatest Panhard and Mercedes construction, the new car neverthelessexhibits much originality in detail.”An early customer for this newcomer to the British market was theHon Rupert Guinness, heir to the Earl of Iveagh, who in the springof 1903 took delivery of this 16-hp De Dietrich from the BurlingtonCarriage Company of Oxford Street, London, who imported barechassis from Lunéville and fitted them with their own coachwork.Former owner Francis Hutton-Stott declared in 1953 that this wasthe chassis ordered from Turcat-Méry in April 1902 by “Mr Guinnessthe brewer”. Presumably the fulfilment of the order was delayedbecause of the time needed to establish production at Lunéville.The handsome Burlington four-seater body fitted to the Guinness carhad a detachable tonneau section that could be removed to convertit into a racing two-seater. It was displayed at the March 1903Cordingley Exhibition in the Agricultural Hall, Islington, where TheAutocar described it as “one of the finest examples of body buildingin the show” (but attributed it to the wrong coachbuilder, promptingan abject apology in the following issue correctly crediting Burlingtonfor “the exquisite turnout of the whole vehicle”, accompanied by aphotograph of the Hon Rupert Guinness at the wheel).123158 | Goodwood festival of speed


In 1903, when a canopy and windscreen were fitted, the De Dietrichwas used as the wedding car for the Hon Rupert and his brideGwendolen, daughter of the 4th Earl of Onslow. Three years later,he used the De Dietrich, fitted with a closed landaulet body, in hiscampaign when running as Unionist candidate for the East LondonHaggerston constituency.But in 1912 the De Dietrich, fitted again with its original tonneaubody, was driven into the stable at the Hon Rupert’s home, PyrfordCourt at Woking in Surrey, and put up on blocks. There it wouldstay until 1940, when a bomb dropped during a German air raiddemolished the stable. The car was undamaged and was moved tothe Guinness Dairy Farm in Old Woking, where it stood out in theopen, “a roosting place for the birds of the air and a plaything for thelocal brats”.1The Hon. Rupert Guinness aboard the De Deitrich2 and 3‘A2 101’ on the London to Brighton Run, 1950’s4‘A2 101’ crossing Westminster Bridge on theLondon to Brighton Run, 2009Then in March 1942 the ever-vigilant Bill Boddy, editor of MotorSport, published a list of 50 veteran, Edwardian and vintage carsmost at risk from the national scrap metal drive. Included in that listwas “DE DIETRICH, Type 8, four-cylinder Roi de Belge, rough, notyres, big engine, chain drive (Surrey).”Veteran Car Club committee member Francis Hutton-Stott decidedit was worth expending what little of the wartime “basic” petrolration remained in the tank of his Morgan 4/4 to take a look at thecar and realised from its automatic inlet valves, gilled-tube radiatorand flitch-plated wooden chassis that it could be no later than1903 in date. Lord Iveagh (the Hon Rupert had succeeded to thetitle in 1927) was not at home, but Hutton-Stott located the Earl’schauffeur, who recommended writing to Lord Iveagh and asking ifhe would dispose of the car to a good home. The Earl respondedthat he would be happy to give Hutton-Stott the car without chargeif he could arrange transport.A breakdown truck was quickly arranged, and the car was towedto Hutton-Stott’s home, where in due course a “firing-up” party wasarranged with luminaries of the old car world John Bolster, “Bunny”Tubbs, Laurence Pomeroy and Cecil “Sam” Clutton in attendance.Amazingly, after lying idle for 30 years, the engine fired almostimmediately and kept running. Though the clutch was inoperativeand the gear lever was missing, Clutton engaged second gear witha screwdriver and was push-started down the drive. Fortunately theclutch freed in time to avert disaster, and the car circled a flowerbedin a cloud of smoke “touching a speed that may have been 25 mphbut looked three times as fast”.4Motor Cars | 159


Restoration began in 1946, when the car was completely rebuilt byTeddy Pilmore-Bedford at Catford and Leslie Paget at the WimbledonMotor Works, making its debut at the VCC Oxford Rally in May 1950;it successfully completed its first Brighton Run in November that year.In Hutton-Stott’s ownership, the De Dietrich took part in severalBrighton Runs, took part in Edwardian races and parades atSilverstone and Castle Combe, and made fastest time of the dayin the 1954 VCC Bexhill speed trials before going on display in theMontagu Motor Museum at Beaulieu.Hutton-Stott retained the car – which he believed had been areserve car for the works team in the Paris-Vienna race – until 1965,when it was sold to fellow enthusiast Frederick Michael Willcock ofPulborough, Sussex. Michael Banfield acquired the car in November1970 at a Norman Cole auction at Alexandra Palace. In hisownership the car has been comprehensively restored, and is nowresplendent in royal blue, and sports a magnificent pair of Polkeyparaffin headlamps and rare matching sidelamps.This rare and desirable veteran comes with a large history filethat warrants closer inspection including copies of The MotorSeptember 1942 and 1944, a buff log book, some receipts, a V5and correspondence while in the custodianship of Michael Willcock.It is ready for this year’s London to Brighton Run and application hasbeen made through Bonhams for an entry.As a powerful four-cylinder chain-drive four-seater with a fantasticprovenance, this car ticks every Brighton Run box. It is, as Bill Boddywrote in 1961, “a splendid reminder both of the now legendary townto-townraces held at the turn of the century and of the sort of motorcar in which the more sporting members of the aristocracy liked toburn the roads in the early days of automobilism.”£750,000 - 850,000€930,000 - 1,000,0005‘A 2101’ fitted with its previous closed coachwork6Michael Banfield crosses the finishing line, Madeira Drive, Brighton160 | Goodwood festival of speed

‘The take-up into the next gear is flawless and, with the turboscranking hard, the blast of acceleration just goes on again andyou seem to be in a blur of time conquering distance, gearshiftsand noise. It has the tonal quality of an F1 engine, if not thesheer ferocity. From outside, if you stand and listen, you hear thefrantic whoosh as the turbos start to drive oh-so-hard.’ - Autocarmagazine, May 1988.Introduced in 1988 to celebrate Enzo Ferrari’s 40 years as a motormanufacturer, the F40 was the ultimate supercar. A mid-engined,two-seater berlinetta, the F40 was a development of the limitedproduction288GTO, and like the latter - but unlike the preceding308 series - mounted its power unit longitudinally rather thantransversely. A four-cam 3-litre V8 with four valves per cylinder, theF40 engine employed twin IHI turbochargers to liberate 478bhp(approximately 352kW) at 7,000rpm. For the seriously speedaddicted,this could be boosted by 200bhp by means of a factorytuning kit.Of equal, if not greater, technical interest was the method of body/chassis construction, the F40 drawing on Ferrari’s Formula 1experience in its use of composite technology. A one-piece plasticmoulding, the body was bonded to the tubular steel chassis tocreate a lightweight structure of immense rigidity. The doors,bonnet, boot lid and other removable panels were carbon fibre.Pugnaciously styled by Pininfarina, the F40 incorporated the latestaerodynamic aids in the form of a dam-shaped nose and high rearaerofoil. Despite the need to generate considerable downforce -and with a top speed of 201mph, higher than the take-off speed ofmany light aircraft, the F40 needed all the downforce it could get -the result was a commendably low drag coefficient of just 0.34. TheF40’s interior re-enforced its image as a thinly disguised race-car,with body-contoured seats, an absence of carpeting and trim, andsliding Plexiglas windows. When it came to actual competition,race-prepared F40s more than held their own and in the Global GTseries proved quicker on many circuits than McLaren’s F1 GTR.Motor Cars | 163


Autocar concluded its test thus: ‘on a smooth road it is ascintillatingly fast car that is docile and charming in its nature; acar that is demanding but not difficult to drive, blessed as it is withmassive grip and, even more importantly, superb balance andmanners. You can use its performance - the closest any productioncarmaker has yet come to race car levels - and revel in it. ...there’slittle doubt it is the very personification of the term sports car.’ Eventoday the F40 has the power to impress.Reacquainting himself with the F40, F50 and Enzo Ferraris forOctane magazine (July 2014 edition) racing driver Mark Halesdeclared: ‘The F40 is for me, the special one. Not just becauseI have spent so much time in them, but because it was such anexplosive, other-worldly creation when it first appeared, and it stillretains much of that character.’ Enough said.This particular F40 has the electric windows option and wasdelivered on 15th March 1990 via the then Ferrari main dealers forFlorence, Auto La Rotonda SpA. According to the accompanyingMassini report, it has the assembly number ‘01410’ and is thereforea rare early example of the F40 in its purest form: without ABS,catalytic converters or adjustable suspension.Importantly, the car comes with its original tool kit including theunused tyre repair aerosol as well as the original handbooks andservice book in their original tan leather wallet.The F40 remained with its first owner, who resided near Florence inTuscany, until 2004 when it was purchased by the current vendor,who has kept the car in his private museum in northern Italy untilnow. The last official entry in the aforementioned service bookdates from 1994 at 10,000 kilometres. We are advised that the carhas been maintained in-house by the museum’s staff and currentlydisplays a total of some 13,400 kilometres on the odometer.Described as in original, un-restored condition, this F40 has alwaysresided in its native Italy and comes with Italian registration papers(libretto and Certificato di Proprieta).£450,000 - 550,000€550,000 - 680,000164 | Goodwood festival of speed

During the 1950s the most accessible, most appealing and in manycases the most successful club racing car available to any aspiringracing driver was one of the products of the Donald Healey MotorCompany’s famous factory at The Cape, Warwick. This particularappealing and in-period highly successful Austin-Healey 100S is ashining example of the type. It has an outstanding record as a clubracing contender raced over a seven-year period from 1955 until1962. As a genuine 100S it was one of only 55 such Austin-Healeysproduced during 1955, of which at most only 38 are believed tosurvive today.While the standard 100S specification included a 2660cc in-line4-cylinder engine tuned to develop a maximum 132bhp at 4,700rpm,all in a chassis and body unit weighing only 2,960lbs (891Kg),‘EVV 106’ offered here was distinguished almost from new by twodistinctive features. Firstly – as required by first owner David Shale– ‘EVV106’ was equipped with an Aston Martin gearbox duringproduction. And within days of its delivery to David Shale in February1955 he had its paint finish colour changed from the standard OldEnglish White over Lobelia Blue to British Racing Green, a colour thatit wears to this day.The car was first UK road registered on March 2, 1955, and evidenceof its early paint change survives in a photograph of the car taken atone of its maiden outings in Mr Shale’s hands, at the British EmpireTrophy meeting, Oulton Park, in April 1955.From 1955 to the present day ‘EVV106’ has had only six owners,these in sequence being David Shale 1955-57, then Mike Kellett1957-58, the future multiple British club racing Champion TonyLanfranchi 1958-1960, and the last of its great club racing ownersDerek Buller-Sinfield, 1961-62. The retired warhorse was thenacquired by Norfolk farmer-cum-noted Austin-Healey collectorArthur Carter in whose hands it was preserved and maintained forthe following 42 years, before being acquired by the present ownerin 2004. Furthermore, EVV is one of only four 100Ss originally soldand raced into the UK home market and has the distinction of beingdomiciled in the UK since.1 23Motor Cars | 167

David Shale actually drove the car in its club racing debut outingright here at Goodwood Motor Circuit on March 26, 1955, finishingsecond, and into the 1956 season, on May 30 that year he tooka third place at the short-lived Davidstow aerodrome circuit inCornwall. After failing to finish in the higher-level British EmpireTrophy race meeting in April he recorded four fine race wins, the firstat Aintree and subsequently three at Silverstone.Never averse to compiling many road miles on the way to (and from)club race meetings around the British mainland he also compiledsecond-place finishes at Brands Hatch in Kent, Mallory Park inLeicestershire, Snetterton in Norfolk and Davidstow way back downin the far south-west. He also added a third place at Brands Hatchand two more at Silverstone to ‘EVV106’s growing list of club racelaurels. David Shale finished the season as runner-up in the 1956‘Autosport’ Championship competition.The car was then acquired by second owner Mike Kellett, in whosehands a second place was achieved at Croft in September 1957and a third at Marston Moor, followed in 1958 by 2nd and 4th-placeresults at Full Sutton – the very fast Yorkshire aerodrome circuit.Unfortunately at Oulton Park that year Mike Kellett left the road atKnickerbrook corner and rolled the car, but overall it was raced atleast 18 times in his ownership and had remained a competitivecontender against newer opposition.Tony Lanfranchi, from Huddersfield, then acquired the car andlearned much about his chosen sport in it before going on tobecome on of the most colourful characters of the British andinternational motor racing scene. In ‘EVV 106’ he won the 1959Catterick hill-climb, a third place in the Burton Sprint and a circuitthird at Mallory Park. Derek Buller-Sinfield then completed ‘EVV’sregular competition career into 1962, at which time it was acquiredas one of the founding feature cars of the illustrious Arthur CarterCollection, within which it was subsequently preserved andmaintained for so many years...Upon acquisition by the vendor, ‘EVV’ was fully restored over an18-month period, the work being undertaken by respected specialistthe late Jonathan Everard of JME Limited, who was until 1969 aDonald Healey Motor Company and Austin-Healey employee at TheCape.In more recent years ongoing maintenance, servicing and racepreparation has been undertaken by noted Austin-Healey specialistPaul Woolmer of Woolmer Classic Engineering Limited. ‘EVV 106’is FIVA, MSA and FIA registered and the owner has enjoyed manyrallies, tours and races with the 100S, including the GoodwoodRevival, Le Mans Classic, Donington and Silverstone Festivals and,on multiple occasions, the Mille Miglia retrospective.The Austin-Healey 100S is a perfect – and versatile – entry for all thegreat historic motor events, equally at home on road or track.£600,000 - 700,000€740,000 - 860,000170 | Goodwood festival of speed

RX 6796Chassis no. 2M 1647Engine no. 1403 A1Samuelson and Kindell at the ‘weigh in’, Le Mans, 19302Samuelson during the Le Mans 24hr race, 1930This car is one of two specially built by MG at Abingdon for the 1930Le Mans 24 Hours race. Based on the ‘Double Twelve’ M-TypeMidget, it is reputed to be the earliest ‘works’ racing MG in existenceand is featured in most books on the marque.With the introduction of the M-Type Midget at the 1928 OlympiaMotor Show, Cecil Kimber had single-handedly created the marketfor small, cheap sports cars. Selling for £175, Kimber’s new babywas based on the contemporary Morris Minor and featured pretty,boat-tailed, fabric coachwork by Carbodies. The 847cc, overheadcamshaft,four-cylinder engine derived from Wolseley aero engineexperience via the Wolseley Ten, and mated to this little gem of apower unit was a three-speed ‘crash’ gearbox. Produced initiallyat Cowley, the Midget proved to be a strong seller and productiontransferred to Abingdon when the MG factory moved there in theautumn of 1929. M-Types were awarded the Team Prize in the1930 ‘Double Twelve’ 24-hour race at Brooklands, and this successprovided a welcome boost to sales, which amounted to 3,253 carsby the time production ceased in 1933.Capitalising on its Brooklands success, MG produced 30 DoubleTwelve Replicas, which featured many of the modifications madeto the team cars including altered bodywork and deeper doorcutaways, while the racer’s different valve timing found its way onto theproduction M-Type for 1931.172 | Goodwood festival of speed


12The Le Mans cars differed from the standard M-Types and ‘DoubleTwelve’ Replicas in having more powerful engines; long range fueland oil tanks; reinforced wheels with extra spokes; an upsweptscuttle; extra instrumentation; a pressurised fuel tank; a uniqueunder-body exhaust system incorporating a Brooklands silencer;and an externally mounted spare wheel, many of these modificationsmade to meet the Le Mans regulations.‘RX 6796’ was driven at Le Mans by Sir Francis Samuelson and FredKindell (an MG employee) but retired after a fractured oil pipe led todamaged bearings. The second car driven by Murton-Neale and JackHicks also retired. Undeterred, Samuelson obtained an entry for theSpa-Francorchamps 24-hour race to be held a fortnight later and setoff for Abingdon in his Talbot, taking the MG’s engine with him. Back inFrance the rebuilt motor was soon reinstalled and the MG was then ‘runin’ by being driven north to Belgium. ‘RX 6796’ was the only British entryat Spa and finished 5th in class, hampered by severe clutch slip.This car is believed to have had continuing competition usage duringthe 1930s but the details are not known. It is reputed to have beensupercharged at one time and it is likely that the car’s hydraulic brakesand J2 four-speed gearbox were fitted during this period.The Midget was purchased by the vendor’s father-in-law, Lewin Spittle,in Newmarket in 1943 for £17 10s (£17.50) with three gallons of‘unobtainable’ petrol in the (enlarged) Le Mans tank. He wrote: ‘It lookedsomehow different and had the largest SU I had seen on an engine ofthat size together with a fishtail exhaust which would not have disgraceda Bentley.’As the little MG would not accommodate his growing family, Spittlesold it in 1948 to an undergraduate who took it to Spain. He saw thecar again in Piccadilly in 1950 and by the mid-1960s had traced it toOxford where it was owned by Dr Stuart Milton, who was very wellknown in MG circles and owned the ex-Nuvolari K3. Spittle and Miltonagreed jointly to restore the car to original Le Mans specification, wherenecessary using parts from the second Le Mans car of Murton-Neale,the remains of which Milton also owned. Milton died in 1971 before therebuild was completed.During the restoration, drawings of the Le Mans body were obtainedfrom Abingdon and an accurate replica made, but the rest of the carincluding the engine (with the exception of the carburettor, which is ofthe correct downdraft configuration but of a different model) is believedto be original. The MG was the subject of a feature by Bill Boddy in theJune 1976 issue of Motor Sport (copy available).‘RX 6796’ has been in single family ownership for almost 50 years andhas seen limited use in this time. The engine has been rebuilt, it beingnoted that the special cylinder head had the copper plating which wastypical of MG racing practice of the period. The Midget has appearedregularly at special MG occasions, most recently at the demonstrationof significant MG competition cars at the 1999 Goodwood Revivalmeeting, and has been invited to attend this year’s ‘MG90’ celebrationsat Silverstone on 21/22 June. Currently taxed and offered with V5registration document, the car is running and driving but has seenlittle use in recent years and would benefit from re-commissioning.

333 NMultiple Concours Winning, Ferrari Classiche certified1966 Ferrari 275GTSCoachwork by PininfarinaChassis no. 08005Engine no. 08005174 | Goodwood festival of speed


There had been open-top Ferrari road cars before the advent of the‘250’ series, but it was, chiefly, Pininfarina’s offerings on the latterchassis that established the convertible as a fixture of the Ferrarirange. After the experimentation and variety which characterisedthe coachwork of the 250-series cars, the arrival of the ‘275’ in1964 brought with it standard bodywork, that of the 275GTS beingmanufactured by Pininfarina themselves. In Ferrari nomenclature ofthe period a model’s designation reflected an individual cylinder’scubic capacity, so the newcomer displaced 3.3 litres, up from itspredecessor’s 3.0 litres. In standard trim the GTS’s Colombo-type,60-degree, V12 engine produced 260bhp at 7,000rpm, some 20horsepower fewer than when installed in the contemporary 275GTB.The chassis followed Ferrari’s established practice, being a multitubularframe tied together by oval main tubes, and for the first timeon a road-going Ferrari there was independent rear suspension, thelatter employing a double wishbone and coil-spring arrangementsimilar to that of the 250LM sports-racer.The adoption of a rear-mounted five-speed transaxle combining thenow all-synchromesh gearbox and differential in a single unit helpedimprove weight distribution, and this feature would characterisefuture generations of front-engined Ferrari road cars. Producedbetween 1964 and 1966, the 275GTS altered little during the courseof its short life apart from the adoption of constant velocity joints forthe open prop shaft shortly after the commencement of production.By the mid 1960s Ferrari’s road cars were beginning to lose someof their rougher edges and take on a more luxurious mien, and the275GTS interior is notable for its generously sized seats and woodveneer dashboard, the latter appearing for the first time in a Ferrari.Even the most sybaritic of customers, though, would acknowledgethat the driving experience is the raison d’être of Ferrari ownershipand in this respect the 275GTS had lost none of its predecessors’aggressive charm.176 | Goodwood festival of speed


Car & Driver magazine had this to say: ‘Since the engine is heir to aV12 tradition that’s gone on for almost twenty years, it’s only naturalthat it should be the dominating factor in the car’s personality, andthat the whole car should have been developed around the engineand its own unique character. You can feel it as much as you canhear it. It has a taut, powerful rush of response that comes to youthrough the seat of your pants, through the steering wheel rim. Theinstant the clutch is engaged, the chassis takes on life and begins tomove as a unit with the engine, it’s an all-in-one-piece sensation thatyou normally feel only in racing cars, one that’s unique to the Ferrariamong normal passenger vehicles today.’One of only 200 275GTS models made, chassis number ‘08005’is the 186th built and was originally finished in Nocciola (hazel) withBeige Scuro (dark beige) interior. It was completed at Pininfarina’sTurin factory in February 1966 and in September of that same yearwas despatched to Ferrari importer Luigi Chinetti Motors in NewYork, USA. Chinetti sold the car to its first owner, Mr Slate, a residentof Los Angeles, in 1966 and it is known to have been sold andregistered in Oregon in 1970.In August 2001, by which time it had been repainted red, ‘08005’was offered for sale at Bonhams & Brooks’ Quail Lodge auctionand shortly thereafter was registered to Robert Brower, Sr, residentin Carmel, California. Over the course of 2001/2002, the Ferrariwas fully restored, the interior being re-trimmed in black, and inAugust 2003 was shown at the Cavallino Concours held during theConcorso Italiano at the Black Horse Golf Club, Seaside, California,receiving a Gold Class award.In June 2004, the car was driven by Robert Brower and MarshallPealman on the Ferrari Factory 275 Tour in Tuscany, Italy and inAugust ‘04 was shown again at the Concorso Italiano and also atthe 41st Annual Ferrari Club of America National Field and DrivingConcours at Quail Lodge, California.Motor Cars | 177

TheXK120 of 1948 was developed as a test-bed for the new XK enginedestined for the Mark VII saloon, but such was its success that Jaguarput the XK120 sports car into series production. The competitionsuccesses of the XK120 and ‘C’ Type are of course legendary andin 1954 the XK140 in the same concept was introduced. The finaldevelopment came with the XK150 in 1957, the all-new Dunlop discbrakes finally providing the XK sports car with the stopping power tomatch its prodigious straight-line speed.Restyling provided a roomier cockpit and featured a higher front wingline, a one-piece wrap-around windscreen and a broader radiator grille.The chassis remained much as before, as did the 3.4 litre, six-cylinderengine and the four-speed Moss gearbox. Overdrive and automatictransmissions were options, as was the new ‘B’ Type cylinder headwhich boosted maximum power from the standard 190bhp to 210bhp.The 3.8 litre XK150S specification model, introduced for the 1960season, was however the one to own as Jaguar were swept into theescalating horsepower race in North America. The Harry Weslake‘straight port’ B-type cylinder head, a re-designed inlet manifold, triple2-inch SU carburettors, and 9:1 compression pistons combined togive this model an astonishing 265bhp and a lightened flywheel andstronger clutch assembly contributed to astonishing accelerationfigures and a top speed in saloon form recorded by Road & Trackmagazine of 136mph.The overdrive gearbox was standard on the S models. Here wasone of the world’s fastest sports cars of its time – the DropheadCoupe version being the most expensive model and yet seriouslycompetitively priced compared with its peer group. This modelwas to be short-lived with the announcement of Jaguar’s E-type atGeneva in 1961, and records suggest that just 89 or so models of theS-specification Drophead Coupes were built - some destined for theexport market.180 | Goodwood festival of speed


Correspondence on file from Jaguar Cars Ltd. in 1965, quotingthe above chassis and engine numbers, confirms that this car wasdespatched new to XK150S 3.8 litre specification. The originalregistration document records that this car, originally finished in redlivery, was first licenced with the number 155 MKX in April 1960 toEton Garages Ltd of Eton, Windsor, and was subsequently sold bythem in November that year to The Hon. Leslie Leathers – a keenmotorist and former Monte Carlo Rally competitor.In May 1965 it was bought from Leathers by motoring connoisseurand collector the late George Milligen in whose ownership it remaineduntil his demise in 2004, sharing the motor house during that time withthe likes of a Mercedes 300SL, the marques Pegaso, Bentley, Delageand Facel Vega and the fabulous 38/250 SSK Mercedes-Benz. In1965 the recorded mileage was just 7,928 miles and Milligen’s hugelydetailed notebook records mileages and all work completed up to2004. His family, who have retained the car until now, have continuedto record subsequent work, confirming the car’s continuous historyand careful maintenance through to the present recorded mileage of135,300 miles.Milligen re-registered the car FAH 444 upon acquisition in 1965 andrepainted it in the familiar Milligen ‘house livery’ of Air Force Blue.He was to tour this car extensively on the continent, the dashboardaltimeter proving a useful accessory for such trips. Re-commissioningwork in more recent years has included re-panelling and skinningthe coachwork as necessary, a respray in red livery and carefulconservation of the delightfully original leather upholstery. Four newstainless steel wire wheels are fitted, furnished with Blockley tyres.Much other more recent work is recorded in the Milligen notebook andon invoices on file.So here is a car with outstanding continuous history from new, fromlong distinguished ownership and retaining much wonderful patina,one of the rarest of all Jaguar models and the ultimate developmentof the early XK range. It is smartly presented in its new livery andcomes with old and new style registration documents, recently taxedand MoT’d until June 2015, its original Operating, Maintenance andService Handbook and list of Jaguar dealers and the all important‘Milligen notebook’. Offered with the car are a quantity of spare partsincluding the original wire wheels, headlamp inserts, spotlamps,over-riders, wheel spinners and other items.£70,000 - 90,000€86,000 - 110,000Motor Cars | 181

‘It is extraordinarily difficult to explain in words or writing the exactfascination of a big, fast car of the type so ably represented by thebig Bentley speed model.’ The Autocar on the Bentley Speed Six,September 5th, 1930.Although the 6½-Litre had been conceived as a touring car tocompete with Rolls-Royce’s New Phantom, in Speed Six form itproved admirably suited to competition: in 1929 Barnato/Birkin’sSpeed Six won the Le Mans 24 Hour Race ahead of a trio of4½-Litre Bentleys and Barnato/Kidston repeated the feat in thefollowing year’s Grand Prix d’Endurance at the Sarthe circuit aheadof similarly-mounted Clement/Watney. Small wonder then, that thefast yet refined 6½-Litre Speed Six was W O Bentley’s favourite car.Walter Owen Bentley established Bentley Motors in 1919 in theNorth London suburb of Cricklewood, though deliveries did notbegin until 1921. The first model, a 3-litre car, was powered bya four-cylinder, single overhead camshaft engine with four valvesper cylinder. It was a mechanical theme perpetuated in the greatlyrefined six-cylinder 6½-Litre model of 1926.The need for a larger car had resulted from Bentley’s customersspecifying bodies of a size not envisaged when the 3-Litre wasconceived, a factor only partially addressed by the introduction ofthe Long Standard chassis in 1923. The 6½-Litre was produced forfour years, during which time 544 chassis were completed, 182 ofthese to Speed Six specification.According to Michael Hay’s authoritative work, Bentley The VintageYears, this 6½-Litre Speed Six, registration number ‘GK 8450’, waserected on the ‘SP4’ (12’ 8½”) long chassis and originally fittedwith saloon coachwork by Gurney Nutting. It is the fifth from last ofthe 24 long-wheelbase Speed Six chassis constructed by BentleyMotors, and has the lighter and more powerful 1930-specificationengine producing 180bhp. The first owner was Sir Anthony LindsayHogg. After he parted with the Bentley early in 1932, it wasnext owned by one A H Sheppard, who kept the car for over 20years, winning a ‘best-in-class’ award at the Bentley Drivers ClubKensington Gardens Concours in 1951.1‘GK 8450’ at speed during the Brighton Speed Trials, 1965@ Ted Walker2Guy Shoosmith pushing up the hill, Prescott Hill Climb, 1966© Ted Walker12Motor Cars | 185

Mr Sheppard sold the car in January 1953 and its next recordedowner, from October 1955, was a Major A Gregson followedby Guy Shoosmith from 1962. According to the accompanyingdetailed report by Michael Hay, compiled in 2001: ‘It seemslikely that Shoosmith removed and scrapped the original GurneyNutting saloon body, possibly following an accident... By May1964, when the car appeared at a BDC sprint event in Antwerp,GK 8450 had been rebuilt in its present form on a shortenedchassis with an open four-seater body.’ In the course of therebuild, the original chassis was replaced with ‘BR2357’, whichwas shortened to a wheelbase of 11’ 6” and over-stamped withthe original number, ‘HM2865’.At the same time a new body was constructed along the lines ofthose made by Vanden Plas for the legendary Le Mans-winningBentley team cars. Hay notes that the car had been fitted withhydraulic brakes and the D Type close-ratio gearbox from a4½-Litre, while retaining its original differential casing and variousother original parts, including the steering column. ‘GK 8450’ ispictured in Hay’s Bentley: The Vintage Years in its original form andas it now is in Bentley: 50 Years of the Marque by Johnny Green.Shoosmith kept the Speed Six until 1999, during which timeit made many appearances at major events at Silverstoneincluding the 1969 British Grand Prix parade with W O Bentleyhimself as passenger. ‘GK 8450’ was next owned by DutchBentley Collectors’ Paul Veenhuijzen and then Dirk Lindenbergh,and is currently registered in Holland. Offered with a historyfile containing copies of correspondence, rebuild notes, presscuttings and factory records, this magnificent Bentley Speed Sixhas to be the ideal acquisition for the enthusiast driver wishingto undertake long-distance rallies and touring events in trueVintage style.£680,000 - 780,000€840,000 - 960,000Motor Cars | 187


336The ex-Pentti Airikkala, Roger Clark, Ari Vatanen,Björn Waldegård, David Sutton (Cars) Ltd1975 Ford Escort RS1800 Rally CarRegistration no. MLD 999PChassis no. 1CBA84889Engine no. HML2000/11 and 2MLD 999P, 1976 1000 Lakes Rally, 2nd Overall,Pentti Airikkala / Risto VirtanenIt was the Escort that really put Ford on the rallying map, provingcapable of winning World Championship events from 1968, whenthe Twin Cam model was the works’ frontline rally car, right throughto 1981 when Ari Vatanen became World Rally Champion drivingan Escort RS. In 1970 the Ford Twin Cam engine was replaced bya Cosworth BDA 16-valve unit to create the definitive Escort rallycar - the RS1600 - though the engine was, in fact, homologatedat 1,601cc to enable future enlargement up to the 2-litre classcapacity limit. The first full 2.0-litre engines were homologated in1972 and in works trim produced 235-240bhp. In this form theEscort RS1600 proved good enough to win the RAC Rally threetimes on the trot between 1972 and 1974, as well as a host of otherWorld Championship events. There was also a closely related ‘spinoff’ variant: the overhead-valve Kent-engined Mexico, which wasintended to cater for those that wanted the RS1600’s style but hadno need for its stupendous performance.When the Escort was re-launched as the ‘MkII’ for 1975, the rally caradopted the new-look bodyshell while retaining virtually the samerunning gear and was renamed ‘RS1800’, the latter change reflectingthe capacity increase to 1,800cc. Building on the RS1600’s success,the RS1800 was further developed and in 2.0-litre form enjoyed aneven more successful career than its forebear, remaining competitivewell into the 1980s. The RS1800 made its winning debut as a worksGroup 2 car on the Granite Rally in April 1975, victory going to RogerClark, who followed up by winning the Welsh International Rally. Inthat year’s Lombard-RAC Rally, Timo Makinen brought his RS1800home ahead of the field to score the car’s first major internationalsuccess. It would be the first of five consecutive Lombard-RACvictories for the RS1800 and its Escort RS Group 4 derivative. In1979 the Escort brought Ford its first World Rally Championship forMakes while works driver Björn Waldegård became the first officialWorld Rally Champion.1188 | Goodwood festival of speed


After the works team withdrew from international rallying at the endof the 1979 season, the Escort baton was passed to the Rothmanssponsoredteam run by David Sutton, which enjoyed strong links withthe Boreham factory. In 1981 the Rothmans team made history whenits driver Ari Vatanen became the first, and so far only, non-worksWorld Rally Champion.Bought new by David Sutton Cars Ltd, the RS1800 offered here wasused on the 1976 Lombard-RAC Rally, driven by Pentti Airikkala,and then in 1977 was overall winner of the Mintex Rally driven byAri Vatanen, who also drove it on that year’s 1977 Scottish Rallywith Gandy Brakes sponsorship. In 1977 and 1978 ‘MLD 999P’was driven by Roger Clark on the Lindisfarne Rally and by AriVatanen in the 1978 Lombard-RAC Rally with Marlboro sponsorship.Retained by David Sutton, this Escort was also used as a Rothmanssponsoredcar and has also been driven by Stig Blomqvist and BjörnWaldegård, by the latter on the 1979 Scottish Rally. Extensivelydamaged by Waldegård, the car was re-shelled and in 1981competed in the Ivory Coast Rally in RS2000 specification, driven byTaylor/Spiller.In 2004, the car was rebuilt by David Sutton with painstakingattention to detail, even down to sign-written sponsorship logos.That same year ‘MLD 999P’ won the inaugural Roger Albert Clarkhistoric rally driven by Stig Blomqvist and Anna Goni, its then owner,and finished 2nd with the same driver/navigator the following year.Built originally by David Sutton Cars, this Escort has been maintainedand run by David throughout its life. The V5 remained in the name ofDavid Sutton until the car was sold.Its specification includes a full Group 4 Gartrac bodyshell built with allGartrac components by David Sutton. The engine has only 50 mileson its bores since a rebuild by Paul Fisher. Built to rally specification,the 1,993cc BDA motor incorporates a Cosworth Nikasil alloycylinder block, new (un-ground) Doug Kiddie crankshaft and newcon-rods, pistons, rings, valves/springs/seats, etc, all componentsbeing supplied by Geoff Richardson. A dynamometer sheet is on filetogether with car’s MSA Historic Rally Vehicle Identity Form and UKV5 registration document.The gearbox has just undergone a complete rebuild; both front andrear centre casings are new, as are all the bearings and baulk rings.This gearbox is fitted with an original ZF direct-top kit and like theengine has seen only 50 miles use since being rebuilt. The rear axleis a genuine fully floating Gartrac item rebuilt at the same time as theengine and gearbox. New parts fitted include the 5:1 crown-wheeland-pinion,ZF motor sport limited-slip differential and clutch pack,Xtrac half shafts and all hub bearings, etc. Vented rear disc brakesare fitted. The rear suspension boasts new slipper spring bushes andnew genuine Ford bushes to the four locating links and the Panhardrod. The five-leaf ‘forest’ rear springs are described as in perfectcondition and have new rear shackles and bushes fitted, while theBilstein Group 4 forest-specification dampers are newly installed.New components up front include the Twin Cam anti-roll bar; genuineFord track control arms; Group 4 steering arms; Gartrac steeringrack and track rod ends; front strut casings with new 260/60 Bilsteininserts and 190lb ‘gravel’ springs; and roller-bearing top mounts. Thesuspension has seen a mere 50 miles use and the car as a whole isdescribed as in generally excellent condition.

The legendary Miura was always going to be a hard act to follow,so the extent to which its successor eclipsed the greatest of 1960ssupercars came as something of a shock to all. The sensation of the1971 Geneva Salon, the Countach was styled, like its predecessor,by Bertone’s Marcello Gandini. It was nothing less than spectacular,looking like it had been conceived on another planet. As Motormagazine observed: ‘few people gazing at the original BertoneCountach at Geneva in 1971 could have regarded it as anythingbut a “show” car. There were those fold-up doors for a start and thespace-age cockpit with its abysmal rear visibility not to mention thestrange engine/transmission configuration.’ Happily, Lamborghinidisregarded criticism of the car’s supposed lack of practicality and theCountach entered production changed in detail only. As it happened,the production version would not be seen for another two years, withdeliveries commencing in 1974.The Miura’s four-cam V12 was retained for the Countach, though thistime installed longitudinally and equipped with side-draught Webercarburettors. To achieve optimum weight distribution, designer PaoloStanzani placed the five-speed gearbox ahead of the engine betweenthe seats, and the differential - driven by a shaft passing throughthe sump - at the rear. The result was a delightful gearchange and abetter-balanced car than the Miura.When production began in 1974, the Countach sported an improvedspaceframe chassis, replacing the prototype’s rather untidy semimonocoque,while the bodywork was made of aluminium. The runninggear was carried over from the Miura. One of the Countach’s moststriking features was the doors, which opened vertically and weresupported by hydraulic struts, pivoting at their most forward point.The production Countach came with the standard 4.0-litre - insteadof the prototype’s 5.0-litre - engine. Even with the smaller engineproducing ‘only’ 375bhp, the aerodynamically efficient Countachcould attain 170mph (274km/h) and, naturally, came with racetrackroadholding to match. Designated ‘LP400’ by the factory (LP =Longitudinale Posteriore, describing the engine placement), the firstCountach is commonly known as the ‘periscopio’, after its centralperiscope, faired into the roof, which provided rearward vision.This stunning example of the revolutionary Countach in its originalLP400 ‘periscopio’ form is one of approximately 157 built between1974 and 1977, which explains why examples are only rarely seen forsale. A rare, right-hand drive example, chassis number ‘1120070’ wasdelivered new to Malta, its first owner being one Alfred John Gaul. Thecar was first registered in the UK in 1990 and was first owned in thiscountry by well-known collector, the late John ‘Jack’ Tattershall.Motor Cars | 191


In the current ownership since 1993, the Countach has been drivenon the road every year since its acquisition, albeit sparingly, andcurrently displays a believed-genuine total of only 12,500 kilometreson the odometer (approximately 7,800 miles). The reading at time ofacquisition in 1993 was 10,500 kilometres.As one would expect of a car that has seen relatively little use, thisCountach remains in remarkably original condition; indeed, theengine has never been apart. Repainted in the 1990s, it is finishedin one of the nicest colour combinations of Blue with Ice interior, thelatter original and nicely patinated.Over the years, ‘BVU 985N’ has been carefully maintained byrecognised specialists (Lorenzini Motorsport, Motorapide, BobHoughton) and comes with bills totalling £33,000, some £15,000being spent two years ago. The car also comes with its originalservice book, stamped initially by the Lamborghini factory, theinstruction manual and a UK V5 registration document.A ground-breaking design that set new standards for aspiringsupercar manufacturers, the Lamborghini Countach is one of themost iconic sports cars of the 20th Century, and none more so thanin its earliest and purest LP400 form.£450,000 - 550,000€550,000 - 680,000192 | Goodwood festival of speed

The choice of European royalty, Indian maharajahs, Hollywoodfilm stars and industrial tycoons, the legendary Hispano-Suizawas superbly engineered and imitated unashamedly by some ofthe world’s leading car manufacturers. Although the marque wasof Spanish origin, it was Hispano-Suiza’s French-built cars thatestablished it in the front rank of luxury automobile manufacturersfollowing the end of WWI. During the conflict, Hispano engines hadpowered some of the Allies’ finest fighter aircraft, and post-war themarque would adopt the stork emblem of French ‘ace’ GeorgesGuynemer’s Escadrille des Cicognes, whose SPAD biplanes hadused Hispano’s V8 aero engine.Not surprisingly, the first post-war Hispano drew heavily on thisexpertise, being powered by a Marc Birkigt-designed, 6,597cc,overhead-camshaft six derived from one half of a proposed V12 aeroengine. A seven-bearing design enjoying the benefit of pressure-fedlubrication, the latter was built in unit with the three-speed gearboxand featured aluminium-alloy pistons running in steel cylinder linersscrewed into the light-alloy block.Maximum power was a heady 135bhp produced at just 2,400rpm,and the almost flat torque curve afforded walking-pace-to-85mphperformance in top gear. A handful of prototype H6s was made atthe company’s Barcelona factory - King Alfonso XIII taking deliveryof an early example in April 1918 - before production propercommenced at Bois-Colombes, Paris.Sensation of the 1919 Paris Show, the H6 featured a light yet rigidfour-wheel-braked chassis that matched its state-of-the-art powerunit for innovation. Indeed, so good were its servo-assisted brakesthat Rolls-Royce acquired the rights to build the design underlicence. The H6 combined performance with flexibility, comfort withgood handling, and safety with reliability in a manner which enabledHispano-Suiza to compete successfully with Rolls-Royce, Bentley,Bugatti, Isotta Fraschini and the United States’ luxury marques.Motor Cars | 195


Large enough to accommodate formal coachwork, it was alsofast enough to appeal to the more sportingly inclined: aperitif kingAndré Dubonnet won the Coupe Boillot at Boulgone in 1921, whileEurope’s coachbuilders vied to build their finest coachwork on thisgenuinely thoroughbred chassis. The finish of the Hispano-Suizawas superlative and the car’s inherent glamour was such that itwas featured in two popular novels of the early 1920s, l’Homme del’Hispano and The Green Hat.The original H6 had been superseded in 1921 by the H6B, whichretained the original 6.6-litre engine, but at Dubonnet’s behesta version was produced bored out to 110mm for a capacity of7,982cc, and this more powerful unit was adopted for the successorH6C model, introduced in 1924. The world’s most advancedautomobile at the time of its introduction and for many yearsthereafter, the H6 was catalogued until 1933, by which time 2,158chassis of all types had been completed.Manufactured in 1924, this car is one of the early H6C known asthe ‘Type Sports 110x140’. Chassis number ‘11024’ was invoicedto Hispano-Suiza’s London agents on 16th January 1925, thusestablishing it as a short chassis or ‘Type Sport’ model according tothe invoice listings (copy on file). On 18th January the car was soldto R B Howey and fitted with a close-coupled four-seater boat-tailedbody. It was then delivered to his brother in Scotland, Captain J E PHowey, who drove the car in a West Kent MC meeting at Brooklandson 11th July 1925, winning the race in which it was entered(programme on file).The Howey brothers had property interests in Australia includingHowey Court in the heart of the Melbourne Central Business District.John Howey, who brought the car to Melbourne, was a wellknownamateur racing driver and decided to attempt the Sydneyto Melbourne record. However, he was hampered by numerouspunctures and was stopped by the police and warned he would beprosecuted if he continued. A record attempt from Melbourne toAdelaide was made also but this failed due to a holed petrol tank, therepairs of which can still be seen today.196 | Goodwood festival of speed


John Howey returned to England in 1929 and his accountant soldthe Hispano for £650. Some time after this the car fell into disrepairand disappeared until the late Jumbo Goddard rediscovered it inAlice Springs. He purchased the car on behalf of his friend andHispano enthusiast, Stuart Middlehurst. Graeme Quinn, a friend ofStuart’s, then bought the car, which was missing its original engine.Graeme had previously purchased a correct large-plate 8-litre engine(number ‘320098’) from Tim Hewison.Some years later the car was sold to its present owners whoundertook a 10-year ground-upwards restoration, which wascompleted in 2005 at a cost of $400,000 (Australian). Themechanical work was carried out by Ron McCullum and thebodywork and trim by Peter Leech in Tasmania. In 2007, the car wasinvited to compete in the Malaysian Concours d’Élégance where itwon both ‘Best Vintage Car’ and the Prime Minister’s choice for ‘Carof the Show’.At the Malaysian Grand Prix, it performed demonstration laps withGiancarlo Fisichella as passenger and then successfully completeda 1,500km rally through Malaysia. In 2008 it completed the 1,200kmCyril Poole South-West tour from Perth, Western Australia and in2010 it was exhibited at the first Motorclassica in Melbourne.Offered with restoration invoices, ‘11024’ represents a rareopportunity to acquire a legendary model from one of the world’smost prestigious makes, fully restored and possessing the additionalcachet of in-period Brooklands history.Should the vehicle remain in the EU, local import taxes of 5% will beapplied to the hammer price.£350,000 - 400,000€430,000 - 490,000Motor Cars | 197

Yet at the time of its arrival in 1959,few would have guessed that the low-slung ‘Big Healey’ wouldtriumph over its apparent shortcomings so effectively that it nowrates as one of the most successful rally cars of the 1960s. However,the Big Healey’s first major competition successes did not comeon the ‘rough stuff’ but were gained on Tarmac in one of the mostdemanding forms of motor sport: endurance racing.Following the Austin-Healey 100’s sensational debut at the 1952Motor Show, the works had entered two mildly modified cars inthe 1953 Le Mans 24-Hour Race, which finishing in 12th and14th places, a highly praiseworthy achievement for what wererecognisably production sports cars. From then onwards the factorywould continue to prepare and enter cars for the long-distanceclassics. When the ‘3000’ model came along its first ‘baptism of fire’would be the 1960 Sebring 12 Hours where a pair entered by BMCNorth America finished 2nd and 3rd in their class behind a Ferrari. Atnational and club level the Big Healey was – and still is – a popularchoice among privateers, forming one of the mainstays of themodern historic and Modsports racing scenes.198 | Goodwood festival of speed


This right-hand drive Austin-Healey 3000 MkI was first owned byMartin Brain who used the car extensively in hill climbs. It possessescompetition history from new including the 1965 Guards InternationalTrophy 1,000km race at Brands where it was driven by MessrsWestbrook and Crook. Westbrook raced the car extensively from1964 to ‘66. ‘AOV 319’ competed in the first HSCC race at Thruxtonand went to Le Mans for the Cinquentenaire event in 1973 with itsthen owner K Rylands, who held the hill climb record for the Pre-’603,000cc class at Prescott for five years with this car.The Healey’s next owner was Bugatti racer Charles Dean who in1998 sold it to Aston Martin company chairman Victor Gauntlett viaNigel Dawes Ltd. It was then sold to Dean Butler (in 2004) and waspurchased by the current vendor in 2012.Much modified and well sorted, ‘AOV 319’ comes with a substantialquantity of bills from recognised specialists including Denis Welch,Blakeney Motorsport, Hi-Tech Motorsport, etc. Its specificationincludes a rebuilt Dennis Welch racing engine incorporating analuminium cylinder head, lightened aluminium flywheel, high-torquestarter motor, competition exhaust, MSD rev limiter, etc.Power – all 214bhp of it - is delivered via an AP twin-plate racingclutch to the top-change straight-cut gearbox, which features an upratedcompetition overdrive on 3rd and top gears, and thence to thelimited-slip differential.

340 *1956 HRG Twin Cam RoadsterRegistration no. 15 APBChassis no. 1N502TLEngine no. 47600451In 1935, ten years after the dissolution of the GN cyclecar company,the ‘G’ - H R Godfrey - was back in business with new partners EA Halford and G H Robins, the trio’s new firm adopting the name‘HRG’. The aim was to build a lightweight Vintage-style sporting carendowed with the virtues of brisk acceleration and positive steering,and in this they succeeded brilliantly. However, with its Meadowsengine at the end development, an alternative was needed andthe firm turned to Singer, adopting tuned versions of the latter’soverhead-camshaft engines for its 1500 and 1100 models. Handbuilt in limited numbers, the HRG was one of the fastest 1½-litresports cars of its day, as evidenced by class wins at Le Mans in 1939and 1949.By the early 1950s demand for HRG’s traditional sports car wasdeclining and the firm responded with a radical new design by itstechnical director Stuart Proctor - the Twin Cam. The latter waspowered by a 1,497cc Singer SM engine fitted with a twin-camcylinder head, mounted in a new twin-tube chassis featuring allindependentsuspension, alloy wheels and four-wheel disc brakes.As such it represented the state of the art in contemporary sportscar design and is of immense historical significance. Unfortunatelyfor HRG, Rootes’ takeover of Singer in 1956 halted the supply ofengines and Twin Cam production ceased after only three productioncars, plus the prototype, had been completed.11500cc production car race, Paul Fletcher leads the field,Goodwood 1956 © Ian Dussek2Ian Dussek poses with ‘15 APB’, Watkins Glen, 1975© Ian Dussek200 | Goodwood festival of speed


‘15 APB’ was supplied new to gentleman racer Peter Fletcher, whosefirst competitive outing with his new car was at the Goodwood EasterInternational in 1956. He qualified on pole alongside Ken Rudd’s2.0-litre AC Ace Bristol but snapped the crankshaft during the racetrying to outdistance the opposition. The HRG was neverthelesscredited with 3rd in class. Peter Fletcher continued to campaign‘15 APB’ throughout 1956, after which it saw little use and wasin storage when purchased by the well-known Rootes dealershipHartwell in 1958.Circa 1967 a British collector exported ‘15 APB’ to the USA whereit was purchased by Pennsylvania-based collector, Gary Ford. Fordkept the HRG until 1975 but before selling the car had allowed HRGmarque specialist and motoring writer Ian Dussek to drive it at the1974 US Grand Prix support race at Watkins Glen where he finished2nd in class. The Twin Cam’s next owner, from 7th August 1975, wasanother Pennsylvania collector. It was incorrectly titled as ‘IN 502’rather than ‘IN 502 TL’ as stamped in the chassis frame. In August2001, ‘15 APB’ was purchased by Arnquist and Carolyn GraceSheahan of Portland Oregon and was again incorrectly titled, on thisoccasion as ‘M502’.The HRG’s next recorded owner is Stewart Wilkie, who privatelyimported the car into the UK and registered it in his name on 1st May2003. While in Stewart Wilkie’s ownership, ‘15 APB’ was maintainedby Blakeney Motorsport and raced by Simon Blakeney-Edwardsat the 2004 Aintree ‘50s Sports Car race and by Patrick Blakeney-Edwards at the 2007 Le Mans invited support race.The HRG was also invited to take part in the 2009 Goodwood Revivalmeeting (see letter from the Earl of March on file). By this time it hadreturned to the USA in the ownership of the Blackhawk Collection inDanville, California.The current vendor acquired ‘15 APB’ in 2010, since when theHRG has benefited from an extensive yet sympathetic restorationundertaken by the renowned Motion Products workshop in Neenah,Wisconsin, which was completed in 2013 at a cost in excess of$74,000 (see detailed bills on file). The history file also contains b/wphotographs of the car at Goodwood and Watkins Glen, FIA papers,and UK V5C registration document. ‘15 APB’ also comes with a1956 Goodwood competitor key ring and a Watkins Glen driver’sbadge. The only notified deviation from factory specification is a fivespeedgearbox (original with car).‘15 APB’ has covered relatively few miles during its life, having beenkept in private collections, and following its recent restoration is readyto race. It retains matching numbers and has been featured in manypublications on the history of British sports cars. In short: this is anextremely rare and historic British sports-racer, capable of winning itsclass in the right hands, that can be run for a fraction of the operatingcosts of its Continental rivals.Should the vehicle remain in the EU, local import taxes of 5% will beapplied to the purchase price.£100,000 - 120,000€120,000 - 150,0001 2Motor Cars | 201

‘The low chassis Invicta was probably the best-looking sports car inthe vintage tradition ever to be produced in England. I can think of nocontemporary unsupercharged motor-car of similar capacity, madehere, which could outperform it - and very few built elsewhere...’ – J RBuckley, ‘The 4½-litre S-Type Invicta’, Profile publications, 1966.In an era when most cars stood tall, Invicta’s 4½-litre S-Type, with itsdramatically under-slung chassis, caused a sensation: few sports carsbefore or since have so looked the part. The origins of the companyknown as Invicta Cars go back to 1925 when Noel Macklin andOliver Lyle, both of whom already had motor industry experience, gottogether to create a car combining American levels of flexibility andperformance with European quality and roadholding.Like the contemporary Bentley, the Invicta was designed by men withbackgrounds in competition motoring and both were produced to thehighest standard. Price was only a secondary consideration, a factorthat contributed to both firms’ failure to survive the Depression yearsof the early 1930s. Like Bentley, Invicta struggled against rising costsand falling sales, the final car leaving the factory, appropriately enough,on Friday the 13th of October 1933, though a handful of cars wasassembled at the company’s service depot in Flood Street, Chelseabetween 1934 and 1936. It is estimated that approximately 1,000-orsoInvictas of all types were made.Launched at the 1930 Olympia Motor Show, the S-type’s ‘underslung’chassis achieved a much lower centre of gravity by positioningthe axles above the frame rails instead of below as was normalpractice at the time. Just about the only thing the S-type Invictahad in common with its contemporary stablemates was the 4½-litreMeadows engine, which was also used for the ‘NLC’ and ‘A’ models.The popular ‘100mph Invicta’ tag notwithstanding, standard cars hada – still impressive – top speed of around 95mph, with more to comein racing trim. However, it must be stressed that the S-type Invictawas primarily a very fast but comfortable high-speed touring car,and though it met with moderate success in racing in the hands ofprivate owners in the early 1930s, its greatest appeal lies in an abilityto cover big mileages at high average speeds with no strain, either todriver or the machinery. Raymond Mays, writing of the two Invictashe owned in the early 1930s, says that they gave him some of themost exhilarating motoring he ever had, with their ability ‘to crestmost main-road hills at nearly the century.’Motor Cars | 203


Little used in the last five years, the car is in generally good condition,retaining its original chassis, body, engine and gearbox. Followinga big-end failure in 1985, the engine was treated to a completeoverhaul that included new pistons, re-sleeved bores, regroundcrankshaft, new clutch, etc. There are bills on file from VintageCoachworks (Peter Whenman) dating from 1980 to the 1990s(engine work) and others for renovation of the trim and carpets in the1990s. More recently (November 2011) Meadows engine specialistsBishopgray serviced the car, adjusted the timing chains, fitted a newwater pump, flushed the radiator, re-tightened the cylinder head nutsand overhauled the magneto at a cost of £6,000.A few modifications have been made: a single 12-volt battery hasreplaced the original set-up of two 6-volt items (supplied with car);flashing indicators have been added; and a cleverly concealedelectric cooling fan installed. There is no Autovac, cold-start deviceor starting jet, while the original Rotax starter and water pump aresupplied loose.Currently MoT’d until August 2014, the car will presented for MoTimmediately prior to sale and there are no known faults.

She is a delight to drive and a truly uniqueversion of this important pre-war British sports car.The ‘Low Chassis’ Invicta S-Type is now regarded as one of themost desirable pre-war sports cars, sought after by collectors for itsexceptional driving abilities, style and sheer presence.

On June 4, 1967, Formula 1 motor racing’s entire world was turnedupside down by what transpired in the Dutch Grand Prix race on theseaside sand-dune racing circuit at Zandvoort. The British Lotus teamhad arrived for that Grand Prix with two brand-spanking new Formula 1cars in their transporter. Star driver Graham Hill had immediately qualifiedhis on pole position for its debut race. On race day he had led beforehis new Cosworth-Ford DFV engine failed, whereupon his team-mateJim Clark had taken over, set fastest lap, and ran away to an utterlydominant victory. The brand-new Lotus-Ford Type 49 had completelyre-written 3-litre Formula 1’s contemporary performance standards.In the Zandvoort pit lane, engineer Tony Rudd, running the rival BRMteam with its super-sophisticated – but heavy and fuel-thirsty – H16-cylinder engined cars studied these sleek, svelte new Lotus-Fords. Hewould later recall his feeling of dismay as he studied the latest conceptfrom Colin Chapman and Maurice Phillippe of Team Lotus, and fromKeith Duckworth and his engine specialists at Cosworth Engineering.Rolls-Royce-trained Tony Rudd admitted: “I realised that, for us, it wasall over”.In effect only nine Lotus-Ford 49s were built (and rebuilt again) undertwelve chassis numbers, from 1967-69. In three seasons the 49 won12 World Championship-qualifying Grand Prix races (a win ratio of35% and comfortably more than any of the seven other Grand Prix carmanufacturers/teams during this period) while the Cosworth DFV V8engine became the first Formula 1 unit ever to score 100 victories, andended up with 155 to its credit.The Lotus Type 49 chassis tailored to that engine comprised in effect aforward fuselage only, providing fuel tanks and cockpit and carrying thefront suspension and nose-mounted cooling radiator. That stressed-skinfuselage ended in a vertical bulkhead behind the driver’s seat section.The engine was then bolted rigidly to the back of this forward ‘tub’, theDFV V8 unit’s cast-aluminium casings and cylinder heads doubling asthe rear-half chassis structure, to which the gearbox and suspensionmembers locating the rear wheels were attached. The entire design wasminimalist, weight-saving to a fault – and it would become the blueprintfor definitive Formula 1 design into the 1970s.Motor Cars | 207


Colin Chapman’s Formula 1 Lotus concepts had set the pace inpinnacle-level motor racing technology since 1960 with his first rearengineddesign, the standard-setting Lotus Type 18. In 1961 he hadshrunk the Formula 1 car concept into the lay-down seat ‘hypodermicneedle’ form of the 4-cylinder Lotus Type 21. In 1962 his fertile andinnovative mind had launched the stressed-skin ‘monocoque’-chassisedand Climax V8-engined Lotus Type 25. That family of Formula 1 carscarried Jim Clark and the Lotus marque to World Championshiptitle-winning top honours in 1963 and 1965 and set the performancestandards of the time throughout the final four years of 1½-litre GrandPrix racing, 1962-65.The replacement 3-litre Formula 1 category had then been introducedfor 1966-69 and, with new chief designer Maurice Phillippe, ColinChapman had conceived – with Ford money and Cosworth engineexpertise – the Lotus Type 49 for 1967.Since this now legendary Lotus design then saw frontline servicethrough no fewer than four Formula 1 seasons, 1967-1970, the Type49 also became one of the longest-lived of Grand Prix car designs,campaigned not only by such superstar World Champions as Jim Clarkand Graham Hill, but also by subsequent World Champions JochenRindt and Emerson Fittipaldi.Only six of these transcendant Formula 1 cars survive today. It is manyyears since any became available via public auction sale, but Bonhamsis delighted to offer here the ex-works Team Lotus car number ‘49-R8’.This is the last Lotus to be sold from the collection of the late, sorelymissed British-born Formula 1 Lotus collector and racer, the long-timeAustralian-domiciled Hon. John Dawson-Damer.Never before offered at auction, ‘49-R8’ now offered here was built inOctober 1968 specifically for new double-World Champion GrahamHill to drive in the Tasman Championship races in New Zealand andAustralia during January-February 1969. Tasman Formula racing cateredfor single-seater racing cars with engines of no more than 2½-litrescapacity, and to meet this requirement Cosworth produced a smallnumber of conversion kits to present their highly successful new 3-litreDFV V8 power unit in 2.5-litre ‘DFW’ Tasman trim.With such a power unit bolted on to its forward three-quarter-lengthmonocoque chassis, Graham Hill drove the John Player Gold Leafliveriedworks Lotus 49 ‘R8’ brand-new in its debut race, the January4, 1969, New Zealand Grand Prix at Pukekohe, Auckland, but wasforced to retire. He also failed to finish in its second outing, the followingweekend at Levin, like Pukekohe on New Zealand’s North Island.208 | Goodwood festival of speed

The ferry trip to the South Island then brought better fortune, Graham Hillin ‘R8’ now offered here promptly finishing second in the Lady WigramTrophy race at Christchurch on January 18, and the following weekendplacing second yet again at Teretonga, Invercargill – the world’s mostsoutherly motor racing circuit.The 1969 Tasman Championship series then took the Internationalcircus – including Team Lotus stars Graham Hill and new team-mateJochen Rindt - to Australia, where on February 2, 1969, at Lakeside,Brisbane, Graham finished fourth in ‘R8’ in the Australian Grand Prix forTasman Formula cars.The final round of that ‘down-under’ Championship took place atMelbourne’s Sandown Park circuit on February 16, with Graham Hill in‘R8’ taking sixth place overall. The car was then loaded onto a surfaceship for return freight to the Northern Hemisphere, where in the SpanishGrand Prix both high-winged Lotus 49Bs of Jochen Rindt and GrahamHill were very badly damaged in separate accidents, both triggered byrear-wing strut failure over the same high-speed brow on Barcelona’sMontjuich Park circuit.While Graham Hill emerged unhurt from his Spanish incident, team-mateJochen Rindt was severely concussed and was unable to drive in thefollowing Monaco Grand Prix on May 18. Team Lotus was also severelyembarrassed by lack of an instantly-available car to replace Rindt’s ‘R9’,effectively written-off at Montjuich, as their No 2 team entry at MonteCarlo. Consequently, ‘R8’ was rushed off the ship from Australia, hastilyfitted with a Formula 1-spec 3-litre DFV engine, and hustled down toMonte Carlo for substitute driver Richard Attwood to use in the race.He had absolutely shone there for the BRM team the previous season,setting fastest race lap and finishing a strong second behind GrahamHill’s winning Lotus 49B – chassis ‘R5’.In the 1969 Monaco GP – driving ‘R8’ virtually unchanged from itshard-used Tasman Championship form - Richard Attwood finished afine fourth (and also the distinction of fastest lap), in a race again wonby Graham Hill’s sister Lotus 49B, this time ‘R10’. With Swiss driver JoSiffert third in entrant Rob Walker’s private Lotus 49B – chassis ‘R7’ –three of the Hethel-built British cars had featured amongst the top fourfinishers in the world’s most punishing Formula 1 race.At Gold Leaf Team Lotus’s Hethel works in Norfolk, England, ‘R8’was then adapted to latest Type 49B specification and raced again bycharismatic Graham Hill nursing a sick ‘R8’ to finish 7th in the 1969British Grand Prix, on July 19.Meanwhile, Colin Chapman had launched a new 4-wheel-driveFormula 1 design – the Lotus Type 63 – that he fully intended toserve as the aging Type 49 design’s new-season replacement.However, the 4WD cars proved heavy and clumsy in service,leaving both Graham Hill and the always outspoken Jochen Rindtdeeply unimpressed. Given the choice they would always prefer theconventional (and proven) rear-drive Type 49Bs, so to prevent themhaving the choice Colin determined to sell Team’s 49s – ‘R8’ going tothe veteran Swedish owner/driver Joakim Bonnier.210 | Goodwood festival of speed

He had the car repainted in his Swiss-derived overall red livery with whitecentral stripe, and on August 3 1969 he campaigned it in the GermanGrand Prix on the Nurburgring, only to retire with a fuel leak. He thencrashed the car during practice for the Oulton Park Gold Cup race inEngland on August 16, the damage being repaired at Hethel prior toBonnier selling the car to visiting South African national F1 driver DaveCharlton for 1970.Charlton then used ‘R8’ in South African Team Gunston tobaccobrand livery to clinch the first two of his six consecutive South Africannational Formula 1 Championship titles, 1970-75. The car won ninequalifying rounds in his 1970 national campaign, and four morethrough 1971. His first season’s victories were scored in the Highveld‘100’ at Kyalami, the Coronation ‘100’ at Roy Hesketh, followed bythe Natal Winter Trophy there, the Coupe Gouvernador Generale atLourenco Marques, Rand Winter Trophy at Kyalami, False Bay ‘100’ atKillarney, Rhodesian GP at Bulawayo, Rand Spring Trophy at Kyalamiand the Goldfields ‘100’ at Welkom.This extraordinarily successful campaign was then followed in 1971by Dave Charlton and ‘R8’ winning another Highveld ‘100’ at Kyalami,Coronation ‘100’ at Hesketh, Bulawayo ‘100’ and the South AfricanRepublic Festival race back at Kyalami, Johannesburg.Old ‘R8’ was then campaigned to the end of 1972 by South Africandrivers Piet de Klerk and Mayer Botha, before eventually being acquired,dismantled and in damaged condition, by Australian-resident, theHon. John Dawson-Damer. He painstakingly restored it to raceworthycondition and it is today the last of his renowned eight-strong Dawson-Damer Lotus Collection – six of which were sold by Bonhams in Sydneyin 2008.The car has been in operational condition and demonstrated in Australiain recent years. It will of course require inspection and probably overhaulfor any historic competition. Please also note that, as the car has beenbrought into the UK for sale from Australia, the Lotus will be subject to5% import tax on the hammer price – should it stay in the EU.By every standard, Colin Chapman’s Lotus 49 concept is an absolutelandmark in Formula 1 design. It simply raised the bar for every rivalmanufacturer, and its Cosworth-Ford V8 engine became by far oneof the most successful in all motor racing history. Now chassis ‘R8’offers its impeccable provenance as having begun life as Graham Hill’s1969 Tasman Championship then British GP car, it was used by thatwonderful driver Richard Attwood to finish fourth in the 1969 MonacoGP, and private owner Dave Charlton drove it to become multipleSouth African national Champion. Add the excellent extra cachet of thecar now being offered here direct from the illustrious Lotus-specialistDawson-Damer Collection and ‘R8’s iconic status is set in stone.The late John Dawson-Damer was respected worldwide for hisknowledge and love of Lotus cars and his passion for motor sport andour sale of his rare Lotus 49B is a momentous moment – in which yourbid can star.£700,000 - 1,000,000€860,000 - 1,200,000212 | Goodwood festival of speed

B20 5345A rare UK-delivered model with floor shift, ‘3953’ boasts thedesirable attributes of matching numbers, few owners, low mileageand full history. ‘3953’ is one of only 25 B20s imported by LanciaEngland and was first registered to Ernst Bent in Peterborough inJuly 1958 according to the original buff logbook. It was then ownedby a Reverend Fairbrother in Devon for over 20 years before passingthrough the hands of two further owners, both of whom were LanciaClub members. The B20 was added to the vendors’ collection in2008 and has recorded only 79,000 miles from new.A bare metal body restoration had been undertaken in 1989amounting to some 750 hours, involving the replacement of sillsand wheelarches, all of which is receipted. The vendors bare-metalrepainted the car again to a high standard in 2010, and replaced thedoor and bonnet skins. All new body rubbers and weather strippingwere used, all chrome parts re-plated, and a new windscreeninstalled. Unusually for one of these cars, it retains all of its ‘jewellery’such as the gutter trims, often missing from other examples. The foglights were restored, new headlights and new-old-stock rear lampsinstalled, and the whole car Dinitrol rust protected.214 | Goodwood festival of speed


Remarkably smooth and refined, these later 6th series cars benefitfrom all of the many modifications introduced by Lancia duringthe B20 production cycle. These include enhancements to trim,suspension, gearbox and, of particular note, the prop shaft andclutch, which are less likely to get out of balance, a weakness of theearlier cars. Buying a late car is therefore a shrewd choice.The engine is described as powerful and in good health. Only 12,000miles have been covered since a receipted complete rebuild by TancBarratt, which included new pistons and liners and hardened valveseats for unleaded fuel compatibility. In the current ownership theengine has enjoyed filter and oil changes every 1,000 miles as wellas a new coil, HT leads and an overhauled distributor. The cooling(radiator, water pump and all hoses) and braking systems have beenoverhauled and the Weber carburettor and fuel system rebuilt. AnOmicron mechanical clutch conversion has been installed. With theexception of this and a complete stainless steel exhaust system,the car is said to be 100% original in specification (the originalhydraulic clutch mechanism is included in the sale). The engine bayis beautifully and correctly detailed throughout, a rare sight nowadaysas so many Aurelias lack authenticity in this regard.The interior of this B20 looks and smells just right, unlike so manywhich have non-original trim. It is delightfully original, even down tothe rubber matting, preserved in excellent order, rear seats and doorcards. The front seats’ faces were recovered in the correct grey clothin 1993 and a new headlining was fitted in 2010, again in the originalmaterial. The wood rim wheel was re-lacquered at the same time.A period Blaupunkt radio completes this exquisite interior. The boottoo is entirely original down to the inner wing diamond-stitched trim,rubber mat, spare wheel and jack.In their original test of the B20, Autocar said that the standard offinish of both coachwork and mechanical components was almostbeyond criticism, and remarked that the Aurelia was exceptionallyinvigorating to drive, all of which holds true today for this exceptionalexample, which has proved to be totally reliable while in the vendors’ownership. Representing a rare opportunity to purchase a B20 ofthe very highest quality, ‘WSV 684’ is currently taxed and comeswith history file, original owner’s manual, dealer directory and V5registration document. A car that ticks all the boxes, it is eligible formany of the most prestigious historic motoring events including theTour Auto.£100,000 - 120,000€120,000 - 150,000Motor Cars | 215


344 *1912 Rolls-Royce 40/50hp Silver Ghost CabrioletCoachwork by Barker/FryChassis no. 2145Engine no. 47D216 | Goodwood festival of speed


‘Every now and then a restoration comes along that stands outin terms of quality and detail, and the 1912 40/50hp Silver GhostCabriolet, chassis 2145, did exactly that at this year’s 47th AnnualFederal Rally in Canberra.’ – David Berthon writing in ‘Praeclarum’ thejournal of the Rolls-Royce Club of Australia, August 2005.Although the 40/50hp model would in any event have earned its ‘TheBest Car in the World’ sobriquet (actually first used by the Pall MallGazette in November 1911), Rolls-Royce’s decision to drop all othertypes only served to focus attention on what would become known asthe ‘Silver Ghost’. Prior to 1908, when it relocated to a new factory inDerby, the company founded by engineer Frederick Henry Royce andentrepreneur the Honourable Charles Stewart Rolls had manufactureda variety of models at its Manchester premises. Cars with two, three,four and six cylinders were made, and even an abortive V8, beforeManaging Director Claude Johnson’s decision to concentrate on therange-topping 40/50hp. The latter had first appeared at the 1906London Motor Show and became known as the ‘Silver Ghost’ thefollowing year when chassis number ‘60551’ was exhibited wearingsilver-painted tourer coachwork by Barker & Co.The heart of the Silver Ghost was its magnificent engine, a 7,036cc(later 7,428cc) sidevalve six equipped with seven-bearing crankshaftand pressure lubrication. A sturdy chassis comprised of channelsectionside members and tubular cross members was suspendedon semi-elliptic springs at the front and a ‘platform’ leaf springarrangement at the rear, though the latter soon came in for revision.The transmission too was soon changed: a three-speed gearbox withdirect-drive top gear replacing the original four-speed/overdrive topunit in 1909. In the course of its 20-year production life there would becountless other improvements to the car, one of the most importantbeing the adoption of servo-assisted four-wheel brakes towards theend of 1923.After a successful 2,000-mile trial under RAC supervision, the factorydemonstrator - chassis ‘60551’, ‘The Silver Ghost’ - was enteredin the 1907 Scottish Reliability Trial, completing the 15,000-mile runwith flying colours to set a new World Record. From then on thecar’s reputation was assured, not the least in North America wherethe wide-open spaces placed a premium on reliability and comfort.Royce’s uncompromising engineering standards demanded onlyexcellence of his staff in Manchester and later Derby, and no chassiswas delivered until it had been rigorously tested.Motor Cars | 217


Rigorous testing continued to be undertaken publicly too in theinterests of promoting sales, the next such enterprise being ErnestW Hives’ legendary journey in September 1911 from London toEdinburgh using top gear only. Rivals Napier had just completed asimilar stunt and Rolls-Royce felt obliged to rise to the challenge.Hives’ Silver Ghost averaged a remarkable 24.32 miles per gallonover the 400-mile journey and on its completion was taken to theBrooklands racetrack where it was timed at 78.26mph. That car,chassis ‘1701’, incorporated under-slung cantilever rear springs andan engine upgraded with increased compression ratio and a largercarburettor, while the lightweight sports-tourer ‘torpedo’ coachworkwas by Holmes & Co of Derby. Orders for replicas poured in and todaygenuine examples of the ‘London-to-Edinburgh’ model are among themost coveted of all Silver Ghost variants.The Silver Ghost remained in production in England until 1925, 6,173being completed at the Manchester and Derby factories, and until1926 at Rolls-Royce’s Springfield plant in the USA where a further1,703 were made, the longest production run of any model from thiscelebrated company.Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, chassis number ‘2145’, was completed witha Barker cabriolet body and delivered new to one E F Miller in London,who subsequently moved to Melbourne, Australia, taking the car withhim. In 1929 the Ghost passed into the ownership of George Russellof Toorak, Melbourne, a local businessman. The car was owned by anE J Simpson of Melbourne in the 1930s and was probably re-bodiedpre-war before being recovered in 1959 as a wreck by Laurie Vinallof Adelaide. ‘2145’ remained in the Vinall family’s possession as anun-restored chassis until it was acquired by the current owner in 2000.A four-year total restoration was then embarked upon, the faithfulre-creation of the Barker cabriolet body being entrusted to mastercraftsman Roger Fry of Perth, Western Australia. To ensureauthenticity, Roger visited the UK and Ireland to study two originalBarker cabriolets, with particular attention being paid to the design ofthe folding hood mechanism. The front body tub is an original Barkercomponent from chassis ‘1905E’, donated by a fellow Ghost owner.Tasmanian Oak was used for the body framework, which is panelled inaluminium, while all the body mouldings are alloy castings. The bodyis finished in Brewster Green with black coachlines, while the interioris trimmed in black Connolly leather to the front compartment andmushroom West of England cloth to the rear.218 | Goodwood festival of speed

A carriage maker established as far back as 1710, Barker & Co ofLondon was one of the finest of all British coachbuilders and a firmassociated with Rolls-Royce from the latter’s earliest days. Indeed,in 1905 Charles Rolls is said to have announced that ‘all Rolls-Royce cars will be fitted with Barker bodies’ and the London firmwas regarded as its ‘official’ coachbuilder until Rolls-Royce acquiredPark Ward in 1933. The Barker cabriolet as recreated on ‘2145’ is aparticularly versatile design, enabling it to be fully raised to cover bothdriver and passengers, part retracted in sedanca de ville style, or fullylowered and with the windscreen folded down if so desired. With thecentral division and side windows raised, the rear passengers enjoythe ultimate in comfort and protection.After completion, ‘2145’ received the coveted concours awardmentioned above, having gained this outright win against animpressive field of Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars of all ages. In his‘Praeclarum’ article, David Berthon commented: ‘...in the eyes of manythe high standard set by this restoration will surely form a benchmarkfor many years to come.’In 2013 the engine was completely rebuilt with new bearings, anew rear block and new oversize high-compression pistons, sincewhen only some 3,000 miles have been covered. The electrics wererewired at the same time and there are new bearings throughoutthe transmission. Other noteworthy features include hardened valveseats, a starter motor, turn indicators, safety glass and quartz halogenheadlamps. A complete original tool kit and full complement of weatherequipment are included in the sale.Presented in concours condition, this beautifully restored Silver Ghostpossesses all the qualities of refinement, reliability and performancethat established Rolls-Royce as the pre-eminent British motormanufacturer as long ago as the Edwardian era.Should the vehicle remain in the EU, local import taxes of 5% will beapplied to the hammer price.£600,000 - 700,000€740,000 - 860,000Motor Cars | 221

In 1965 the immortal Lola T70 sports-racing car was introduced byLola Cars’ creator and mastermind Eric Broadley. Its SpecialisedMouldings-produced glass-fibre bodywork was so exquisitely wellproportioned– and (by the standards of the time) aerodynamicallyeffective – that the T70 was widely acclaimed as being the mostbeautiful sports-racing car ever created. In essence, if the AstonMartin DBR1 was as gorgeous a front-engined shape as Britishconstructors have ever produced, then the Lola T70 must take thecorresponding rear-engined prize.The T70 was produced to compete in the International Group 7 classof ‘anything goes’ so-called’ big-banger’ sports car competition. Ineffect this was Mr Broadley’s gesture of liberation from the straitjacketof Ford Advanced Vehicles and the steel-monocoque FordGT programme to which he had been contracted through 1963-64. There he had argued long and hard for the Ford GT to employa largely aluminium-panelled lightweight monocoque chassis, butaluminium was not a then a material of structural appeal to themasters of America’s mass-production motor industry.From 1965 forward aluminium-hulled sports and GT productionwould follow the Lola T70 lead.This splendidly presented example is, most notably, accompaniedby an impeccably detailed history dossier, compiled for whatis rapidly being recognized as the leading independent Britishauthority, oldracingcars.com, by the late, much-respected,enthusiast researcher David McKinney. His dossier forewordexplains: “This chassis number identifies the first of many famousLola T70 sports cars, the semi-works car raced by John Surteesin 1965.It was subsequently re-tubbed before resale, retainingmost other parts from the original car, including the body and theall-important identifying chassis plate. Following this, the car hada short but successful racing career in Japan, being restored thereand in the UK after 30 years of virtual neglect. The original chassismay have survived and been built up as a separate car but itsexistence does not detract from the authenticity of the car featuredin this dossier”. Another Lola T70 bearing the chassis no. SL70/1does exist and it may be that Mecom sold, in period, two Lola T70sdesignated SL70/1.When Lola T70 chassis ‘SL70/1’ originated, John Surtees had justbecome the first man ever to add the four-wheeled Formula 1 WorldChampionship title to his seven achieved upon two wheels in themotor-cycling arena.2Motor Cars | 223


In January, 1965 ‘SL70/1’ was displayed at the London RacingCar Show, finished in royal blue and white livery, before beingdelivered ostensibly to John Surtees’s then father-in-law, Jack Burkeof Eastleigh, Hampshire. In the then re-liveried red car, ‘John theGreat’ finished second to Jim Clark’s Lotus 30 and ahead of BruceMcLaren’s McLaren-Elva-Oldsmobile M1A upon the car’s rain-soakeddebut at Silverstone that March. The combination led from poleposition at the Silverstone May Meeting before its engine overheated,and Surtees then used the car to win the major Player’s International‘200’ race at Mosport Park, Canada.He led the Martini Trophy race back at Silverstone before adeveloped T70 Mark II car emerged, whereupon ‘SL70/1’ wasentrusted to new star, Jackie Stewart to drive as a second TeamSurtees entry - with suitable tartan striping – the young Clydesiderfinishing third behind John and Bruce McLaren in the prestigiousGuards Trophy race at August Bank Holiday Brands Hatch. Havingoriginated with a 4.5-litre Traco-Oldsmobile V8 engine, ‘SL70/1’ ranits first races with a similar-sized Chevrolet V8 before a 5.9 Traco-Chevrolet unit was fitted. John Surtees would win the inauguralCanAm Championship in the US and Canada in 1966, using a laterT70 while ‘SL70/1’ had been acquired by Texan private entrant JohnMecom Jr, apparently not being raced but used as a ‘hangar queen’source of spare parts to sustain Mecom’s sister T70s.Early in 1967 ‘SL70/1’s original bodywork and – it is believed – someother components were transferred by Mecom’s mechanics ontoa fresh T70 Mark II monocoque chassis. This car and a secondT70 were then shipped to Japan by local Firestone agent DonNichols. While he would race the second car under the pseudonym‘Roger Clark’ (!) the updated ‘SL70/1’ went to driver Ginji Yasuda’sDaikyo Chain team. Its chassis was fitted with local Group 6 Coupebodywork for Yasuda’s debut race, quickly reverting to open form forhis only other outing that year, finishing second. Yasuda raced the cartwice in 1968, leading Japanese star Kunimitsu Takahashi once, andin 1969 it was campaigned by Matsuaki Samada and Isamu Kasuya.The aging Lola was then retired, being stored by Yasuda teammechanic Yoshiaki Kobayashi, surviving in storage for some 30years before being acquired by legendary local racing car collectorYoshiyuki Hayashi. In 1999 restoration began in Japan, both TeamSurtees red paint, and the original Racing Car Show blue, beingfound beneath Daikyo Chain’s orange. That tub was consideredtoo badly corroded to be saved. Consequently a fresh tub wasproduced, a new body acquired from Lola Cars and a rebuilt 5.9-litreChevrolet V8 installed – the restored car being test-driven at Mt Fujion September 15, 2003.224 | Goodwood festival of speed


In 2005 ‘SL70/1’ as now offered here returned into British ownership,importantly accompanied by the majority of its discarded originalparts including a good proportion of the original body plus othersuspension, chassis and engine parts. A fresh 5.9 Chevrolet engine,complying with FIA Appendix K regulations, was fitted. The Lolahas been a welcome sight at many prestigious events and mostcompetitively raced with success.Indeed, at the recent Donington Festival in early May last month,John Surtees was reunited with ‘SL/01’ and thrilled the crowdby demonstrating the car for a few laps. Being the racer he is,John sent an email to the current owner with a report on thedriving characteristics and set-up. The car is also offered witha comprehensive and well presented file outlining ‘SL70/1’s’provenance, as well as invoices relating to the current owner’s2005-6 rebuild and preparation for historic racing.Since the most recent complete engine rebuild, the Lola has run forno more than 6 hours, including two Goodwood Revivals; test, raceand demonstration at Donington; and a further race at Thruxton.The Lola is – save for the usual safety checks – race-ready.As offered here this imposing – and most competitive – beautyhas an impeccably well-documented and continuous history from1967 and although rebuilt by Mecom Racing upon a replacementchassis (importantly in-period) in 1966-67 – its derivation fromthe 1965 John Surtees and Jackie Stewart original ‘SL70/1’ iswell established and understood.

346The ex-Ronnie Peterson, Vittorio Brambilla, Lella Lombardi1976 March-Cosworth 761 Formula 1 Racing Single SeaterChassis no. 761-3Engine no. 157March Engineering Ltd of Bicester, Oxfordshire, emerged as a powerfulnew Formula 1 force in 1970 – immediately fielding no fewer thanfive of their formative Type 701 Cosworth DFV-engined cars in theirdebut season – two works team cars, one for the associated STP-March programme and two in dark Scots blue for the Tyrrell RacingOrganisation. Drivers that first season included such superstars asJackie Stewart, Mario Andretti, Jo Siffert and Chris Amon.By 1976 Ronnie Peterson had rejoined the March programme – havinggiven the new marque its initial debut with the Formula 3 prototype cardesigned by ex-McLaren technical director Robin Herd in 1969. Nowthis March 761 is offered here with Ronnie Peterson history, having beencampaigned by the legendary pace-setting Swedish hero in the 1976South African, Long Beach (USA East), Spanish and Belgian Grand Prixraces, before it was taken over by Italian team-mate Vittorio Brambillafor the subsequent Swedish, French, British, German, Austrian, Dutch,Italian, Canadian, and Japanese GPs that season.Despite spirited driving by Peterson best results were achieved byBrambilla, who finished sixth in the Dutch GP and qualified strongly atthe end of the season, third on the grid in Canada and fourth on the gridat Watkins Glen for the US Grand Prix.As one might imagine with two such committed, fast and furious driversas Peterson and Brambilla – the latter respectfully known throughout themotor racing world as ‘The Monza Gorilla’ – the Formula 1 March entityknown as ‘761-3’ had a hectic career.Peterson’s friend and March mechanic Ake Strandberg, relates an incidentin practice for the 1976 Belgian GP, in ‘Memories of Ronnie Peterson’, byJoakim Thedin and Tomas Haegg, published by Poletext, Copyright 2006.‘Ronnie crashed the car. He came back to the pits carrying his seatcushion and reported that it wasn’t too bad. He said, ‘Bring a jack and afront tyre along and you can drive it back again.’ The mechanics went offto find the car, ‘the first thing we saw was the rear wing. The rest of thecar had a chain-link fence wrapped around it. No wheels were left on,the car was totally trashed.’226 | Goodwood festival of speed


It was rebuilt around a new monocoque chassis tub after the crashin Belgium, and at the German GP did not start the race following aBrambilla practice crash. It was rebuilt again around a fresh tub – whichwe understand was numbered ‘10’ – and in the Austrian and Dutch GPreports it was contemporarily described as ‘761-10’ while wearing itsoriginal chassis plate stamped ‘761-3’. After the Dutch GP at Zandvoortthe car was again reported as ‘761-3’.During the following winter of 1976-77, the car was equipped with RobinHerd’s experimental design of four-wheel drive rear end, emerging asa six-wheeled test hack. It would never be raced in that configuration– which was shared contemporaneously by the rival Williams Formula1 team – triggering a ban on more than four wheels for Formula 1 use.The car was then sold to John Macdonald’s RAM Racing organization,and it was campaigned by them in standard March 761 four-wheeledconfiguration with Marlboro and F&S Properties backing as a 1977season private entry.The car was driven by Dutchman Boy Hayje and (once) by the Britishhopeful Andy Sutcliffe. Hayje qualified for one race only, the BrandsHatch Race of Champions event, qualifying 12th and finishing seventh.The car was then sold during 1977 to F & S Properties for entry inthe Group 8 ShellSport International Championship of minor-leagueFormula 1 racing, and modified by Tiga Engineering. Modificationsincluded longer wheelbase, wider track, front radiator, new bodyworkand changes to the oil and water systems. It was subsequently sold toBritish owner Graham Eccles and was available to rent-a-drivers in the1979 Group 8 Aurora-AFX national Formula 1 Championship series.We are advised that, in 1982 March 761-3 now offered here passedinto a private European museum, and in 1983 to specialist dealer RogerCowman. The rolling chassis was restored to original March Engineeringspecification, back to side radiators with standard wheelbase, track, oilsystem and bodywork. Ken Moore acquired the car in 1986 and in 1987it was owned by Bob Howlings, before passing as a non-runner to LucBehar in France. In 1999 it passed to the current vendor, a collector,1970s competitor in F5000 and great enthusiast for 1970s racing cars.Who took further steps towards its restoration and race preparationincluding- engine pulled apart and line bored by J and F Engines(formerly March Racing Engines) ready to be rebuilt around new parts,the FG400 Hewland gearbox (believed to be original to the car) similarlypulled apart by BPA Engineering, stripped, and checked ready to befitted with new parts, brakes rebuilt by BG Developments, instrumentsrebuilt, radiators rebuilt by Serck. The car is offered with spare wheels,nose, and drive shafts and with old FIA papers. Described by thevendor as in “lovely original condition” with excellent chassis, bodyworkand paintwork, this represents a terrific opportunity to buy one of themost charismatic of 1970s Grand Prix racing cars and complete therestoration and race preparation, as befits a car raced by two truefirebrand drivers of the period.£120,000 - 160,000€150,000 - 200,0001Ronnie Peterson aboard 761-3, 19761Motor Cars | 227

BN2/229013Engine no. 1B/229013Donald Healey’s stylish Austin-Healey 100 caused a sensation whenit debuted at the 1952 London Motor Show. Intended as a low-cost,high-performance, limited production sports car and aimed at the USmarket, which took almost 100% of production initially, the Austin-Healey 100 sourced its major components from the Austin Atlanticsaloon. In fact, the car first appeared at Earls Court badged as a‘Healey Hundred’ and was re-badged ‘Austin-Healey’ while still on itsstand after Austin boss Leonard Lord bought the rights to the design.It was just as well that he did, for Healey would take over 3,000 ordersduring the Show yet his company had never made more than 200 carsin a single year!Following the Austin-Healey 100’s sensational debut in 1952, theworks had entered two mildly modified cars in the 1953 Le Mans24-Hour Race, which finishing in 12th and 14th places, a highlypraiseworthy achievement for what were recognisably productionsports cars.Accordingly, the name ‘Le Mans’ was chosen for a bolt-on tuningkit offered through Austin-Healey dealers, by means of which privateowners could bring their cars up to a specification approaching that ofthe works entries. The kit included a pair of 1¾” SU HD6 carburettorsplus special inlet manifold and cold air box, high-lift camshaft, strongervalve springs and distributor with alternative ignition advance curve.With the kit installed power increased from the standard 90 to 100bhp.From October 1955 the conversion was available factory-fitted onthe successor BN2 model in the form of the 100M. In addition to theLe Mans kit, the latter boasted high-compression pistons, stiffer frontanti-roll bar, special Armstrong front dampers and a louvred bonnet.Power increased to 110bhp and top speed, with windscreen foldedflat, to within a whisker of 120mph. The number of BN1s converted bytheir owners is unknown, but 1,159 cars, mostly BN2s, were built orsubsequently modified to 100M specification between 1955 and 1956.Of these, approximately 640 were completed at the factory, some 544of which were exported to the USA.A BN2 model fitted with the 100M ‘Le Mans’ tuning kit, chassisnumber ‘229013’ is one of only 165 cars supplied in right-hand driveform to the UK market. The car was completed in October 1955 andsupplied new via Wimbledon Motors. We are advised that it has hadrelatively few owners and in 1998 underwent a full ‘ground upwards’restoration at leading marque specialists JME (full documentationavailable). Since then the Healey has formed part of a large privatecollection in Northamptonshire and has covered approximately 550miles only since restoration. Described as in generally excellentcondition, ‘609 APF’ is said to drive, feel, handle and looks justlike a brand new car. Accompanying paperwork consists of theaforementioned restoration records, old-style logbook, current MoT/tax, V5 registration document and an interesting letter from Healey‘guru’ John Wheatley.£50,000 - 60,000€62,000 - 74,000228 | Goodwood festival of speed


3481970 Lotus Elan S4 ‘Sprint’ Drophead CoupéRegistration no. JVW 529HChassis no. 7105120155G (see text)Engine no. L22068An Elite-type glassfibre monocoque having proved insufficiently rigidwhen applied to an open car, Lotus boss Colin Chapman came upwith a simple but effective steel backbone frame for the company’snew Elan sports car. Suspension was all independent with unequallengthwishbones at the front while a wide-base lower wishboneand modified Chapman Strut, as used in Lotus Grand Prix cars, wasemployed at the rear. Rack-and-pinion steering was sourced fromthe Triumph Vitesse and there were Girling disc brakes all round. TheElan’s engine was a highly-modified 1,498cc (later 1,558cc) FordCortina unit topped with Lotus’s own twin-camshaft cylinder head,and both gearbox and differential came from Ford also.As development progressed, the Elan became more civilised, thefinal Series 4 - introduced in March 1968 - benefiting from dashboardfresh-air vents and improved interior trim and fittings. The bodyshellwas slightly thinner - and lighter - than the S3’s and featured flaredwheelarches accommodating wider wheels, side repeaters and largerPlus 2-style rear lights.Towards the end of production a higher-performance version, theElan Sprint, was introduced featuring the Tony Rudd-developed ‘BigValve’ engine producing 126bhp - some 20 horsepower more thanthe standard Elan’s - and a suitably strengthened transmission. Aduo-colour body, gold bumpers and black wheels distinguished thenew model.Adequately powerful, light in weight and endowed with exceptionalroadholding and handling, the Elan proved an immense commercialsuccess for Lotus, slightly fewer than 9,000 being produced by thetime production ceased in 1973.Although manufactured in May 1970, some months before theSprint’s announcement at the Earls Court Motor Show in Octoberof that year, this example is believed to be one of a number of S4ssubsequently returned the factory to be ‘refreshed’ and upgradedto Sprint specification. The Elan was in ‘barn find’ condition (seephotograph on file) when purchased by the vendor, a long-timeLotus enthusiast who has owned several over the years andcurrently numbers a ‘2-11’ amongst his collection, which is nowbeing reduced. ‘JVW 529H’ was restored over a three-year periodto Sprint specification, being completed in May 2010. Wider wheelsand a larger fuel tank (for long-distance touring) are the only notifieddeviations from factory specification.Described as in generally good condition, the car is offered with MoTto May 2015 and V5 registration document.

349 N1931 Bentley 8-Litre Sports TourerRegistration no. KJ 3154Chassis no. YM 5042Engine no. YM 5042


Although the prevailing image of Bentley cars during the vintageCricklewood period of the company’s life is that of out-and-outsports cars and fast tourers, it is often overlooked that W OBentley made a determined bid for the carriage trade, particularlywith his larger 4-, 6- and 8-Litre models, and it is largely becauseof this that Napier’s bid for the company in 1931 was thwartedby Rolls-Royce, which doubtless saw that a rejuvenated Bentleycompany would present strong competition to their own models.As it is, only 100 examples of the 8-Litre model had been producedbefore bankruptcy overtook the original Bentley company, but hadthey been in a stronger financial position it might well have been adifferent story. The chassis price of the 8-Litre Bentley at £1,850was in direct competition with the Rolls-Royce Phantom II, alliedwith better performance, and the contemporary motoring press waslavish with its praise for the 8-Litre model. The latter had debutedat the 1930 London Motor Show and was the largest-engined carmade in the UK at that time and arguably the fastest. Bentley’sadvertising claimed ‘100mph without noise’ and tests bore outthat claim, the 8-Litre being fully capable of the ‘ton’ even whenburdened with weighty formal coachwork. As W O Bentley himselfsaid: ‘I have wanted to produce a dead silent 100mph car, and nowI think we have done it.’The world’s fastest production chassis at the time of itsintroduction, the 8-Litre represents an evolutionary step in thedevelopment of the vintage Bentley, combining proven features ofthe 6½-Litre model with the latest engineering advances. Ratherthan trying to extract more power from the existing 6½-Litreengine, W O Bentley followed his long-preferred method ofimproving performance and simply enlarged it, increasing the boresize from 100 to 110mm. Although the 8-Litre’s engine followedconventional Bentley practice, its gearbox - designated ‘F-type’ -was radically different from its predecessors, the redesign havingbeen necessitated by the greatly increased power and torque itwas required to transmit, as well as the quest for silence.The massive chassis frame likewise was entirely new, being of the‘double drop’ design that enabled overall height to be reducedand the centre of gravity lowered, these aims also dictating theuse of a hypoid-bevel rear axle. Seven tubular cross membersresulted in a much stronger and less flexible frame than hitherto,which was available in a choice of wheelbases: 12’ or 13’. Revisedsuspension incorporating longer road springs, out-rigged at therear, together with Bentley & Draper shock absorbers made forincreased smoothness and stability, both vital considerationswhen designing a large and weighty vehicle capable of threefigurespeeds. The 8-Litre’s steering and braking systems alsofeatured numerous detail improvements.Motor Cars | 231


‘Motoring in its very highest form,’ eulogised The Autocar inDecember 1930, having recorded a top speed of 101.12mph in WO Bentley’s own saloon-bodied 8-Litre over the half-mile. Between1930 and 1939, Britain’s foremost motoring magazine betteredthat figure only once, while testing an Alfa Romeo 8C 2300. The8-Litre was destined to remain the fastest production Bentley untilthe R-Type Continental’s arrival in 1953.Completed in September 1931 and the 62nd of the 100 typeproduced, Bentley 8-Litre chassis number ‘YM 5042’, completewith F-type gearbox number ‘8068’, was delivered to leadingLondon coachbuilder Freestone & Webb for bodying as anenclosed limousine. Factory records show that the car was builton the longer (13’) wheelbase chassis to ‘our own body order’.However, one unusual feature was the hinged door in the back ofthe body, supposedly for the accommodation of a passenger in abath chair, which presumably was incorporated at the request ofthe original owner, Mr John Russell of Parrock Manor, Gravesend.‘YM5042’ was delivered via Bentley agents Lion Garage ofGravesend, Kent and first registered ‘KJ 3154’. The only other ownerlisted in the pre-war factory records is Harold Lewis Good (1939).After the war, ‘YM5042’ was owned by a J Ellis in 1949 followedby Billie North (1953), R H Owthwaite (1955), Major F R Ingham(1959 and P S Petrie of Cross-in-Hand, Sussex (1960). In 1966Mr Petrie took the Bentley to Hofmann & Burton of Henley-on-Thames, one of the leading marque specialists of the day, andasked them to rebuild it as a copy of another 8-Litre, ‘YM5047’,which had recently been rebuilt by H&B with an open sportsbody on a shortened chassis with lowered bulkhead and radiator.‘YM5042’ was duly modified in similar manner, the chassis beingshortened by 18” to a wheelbase of 11’ 6” and the bulkhead andradiator shortened. To maintain cooling area, the original dynamowas dispensed with and replaced with a modern one driven offthe clutch shaft.232 | Goodwood festival of speed

The Autovac and Tecalemit chassis lubrication system wereremoved also. Two later SU carburettors were fitted on the originalmanifold, fed by an electric fuel pump. High-ratio crown-wheeland-pinionsets not being available for the 8-Litre, a Speed Sixtypedifferential from chassis number ‘LR2782’ was installed, thisbeing a not uncommon modification among shortened 8-Litres.A new four-seater open body in Vanden Plas style was madeand modern electrics and Marchal headlights fitted. Most of theinstruments were replaced. It is not known who commissioned thetwo-seater body currently fitted, which is believed to date from the1970s. The 8-Litre’s history and detailed specification are dealtwith in greater depth by the typically thorough 22-page illustratedreport compiled for the vendor in November 2013 by marqueauthority Clare Hay, which includes copies of the factory records,registration particulars, correspondence and period photographs(perusal recommended). For the last several years the Bentley hasbeen on static display in a significant European museum collectionand will require re-commissioning before returning to the road.£600,000 - 700,000€740,000 - 860,000234 | Goodwood festival of speed

ZFFAA17C000079325Engine no. 15213Ferrari’s flagship model, the Testarossa supercar revived a famousname from the Italian company’s past when it arrived in 1984.A ‘next generation’ Berlinetta Boxer, the Testarossa (red head)retained its predecessor’s amidships-mounted, 5.0-litre, flat-12engine, which now boasted a maximum power output raised to380bhp at 6,300rpm courtesy of four-valve cylinder heads. Despitethe power increase, smoothness and driveability were enhanced,the car possessing excellent top gear flexibility allied to a maximumspeed of 180mph.Rivalling Lamborghini’s Countach for presence, the PininfarinadesignedTestarossa succeeded brilliantly, the gill slats feeding airto its side-mounted radiators being one of the modern era’s mostinstantly recognisable – and copied - styling devices. A largercar than the 512BB - the increase in width being necessary toaccommodate wider tyres - the Testarossa managed the trick ofcombining high downforce with a low coefficient of drag, its gracefulbody being notable for the absence of extraneous spoilers and othersuch devices.236 | Goodwood festival of speed


Despite the increase in size over the 512BB, the Testarossa waslighter than its predecessor, the body - its steel doors and roofexcepted - being, somewhat unusually for a production Ferrari, ofaluminium. Luxury touches in the well-equipped cabin included airconditioning, electrically adjustable seats, tilting steering wheel andplentiful leather. Unlike some of its rivals, the Testarossa possessedlight controls and was relatively easy to drive, factors which, allied toits outstanding performance and stunning looks, contributed to aninstant and sustained high level of demand.One of only a relative handful of its type produced in right-hand driveconfiguration, this fine example was gifted to Nigel Mansell by Ferrariwhen he signed to drive for the Italian manufacturer’s Formula 1 teamin 1989. Its unique status is confirmed by a special commemorativeplaque bearing Nigel Mansell’s name, which is fixed to the driver’sside doorjamb. The car was supplied in December 1988 by theUK importer Maranello Concessionaires to Gestions SportivesAutomobiles in Switzerland.Having covered some 1,000 miles around the Isle of Man, Mansell’shome at the time, the Ferrari was serviced by Nigel Mansell Carsin October 1989 and again in March 1992. He then sold theTestarossa, which was next offered for sale at auction in Londonin December 1993. The car was purchased for the Sondes FieldsCollection in 1994. Mototechnique serviced the car and changedthe cam belts in 1994 and 1999.They were last changed in 2006 by the Sondes Fields Collection’sin-house mechanic, who has been responsible for the car’s generalservicing and maintenance since acquisition (see hand-written noteson file). It should be noted that the speedometer was changedby Maranello Concessionaires at 4,737 miles, while the currentodometer reading is circa 11,000 miles making the total from newaround 15,700 (original speedometer with car).The Ferrari has not been MoT’d since its owner Joseph Cashindied in 2006, at which time it was inherited by his nephew, thoughit has been driven regularly on private roads. Running and drivingwell, the Testarossa should require only minimal re-commissioningprior to returning to the road. ‘F722 MPB’ comes with its originalFerrari wallet and service book, some service history and V5registration document.Even today few cars can match the on-road presence of a Testarossaand this one represents a rare opportunity to acquire a right-handdrive example of the legendary Italian supercar first owned by one ofBritain’s greatest Formula 1 World Champions.

To anyone within the Aston Martin world, Derrick Edwards was alegendary figure. He was a marque specialist restorer, preparer,tuner and racer whose name and reputation became absolutelysynonymous with Aston Martin’s 1930s finest. He was the man whofounded Aston Martin specialist Morntane Engineering, from whichgrew Ecurie Bertelli, taking the family name of Augusto Cesare ‘Bert’Bertelli, whose family directed the Aston Martin company’s progressand fortunes from 1926 to 1937.Bonhams is privileged to offer the car which was Derrick Edwards’personal Aston Martin Ulster, the machine he raced, tuned, raced,lightened and raced again, and again, for more than 30 years...Whenever he made a far-reaching modification to the car in searchof saving another elusive half-second around the classic and historicracing circuits of the world, Derrick Edwards carefully preservedany original components removed. Today these have been returnedto the car, which is now presented here in virtually the sameconfiguration as presented during its International heyday of frontlinecompetition, when it represented the honour of the British motorindustry in such prestigious events as the 1935 Le Mans 24-HourGrand Prix d’Endurance, the Mille Miglia, and the grueling TargaAbruzzo at Pescara on Italy’s Adriatic coast.Motor Cars | 239


In the Aston Martin Owners’ Club Register of Members’ Cars theexhaustive listing of individual histories is headed – in extent – by thatfor Derrick Edwards’ ‘CMC 614’ as offered here. In 2002, a ‘MotorSport’ magazine feature upon the car described how “It’s one ofthose cars which needs the right owner, so when the time came tosell six years ago it wasn’t advertised; instead Andy Bell, the guruof Ecurie Bertelli, quietly rang up (fellow marque aficionado) FredBlakemore and suggested it was his turn to become guardian”. He inturn recalled how Mr Edwards had long before “...let me drive CMC,and even then I thought it was a superb car to drive”.The car is one of the rarefied and intensely desirable group of only21 Aston Martin Ulster sports cars which were manufactured by theBertelli-directed company in its Feltham workshops, built closely tothe same specification as the illustrious LM-prefixed factory teamcars which had previously garnered the Team Prize in the 1934 RACTourist Trophy race around the Ards circuit in Ulster, hence the modelname. They were lightweight versions of the Aston Martin MarkII, featuring 1496cc dry-sump 4-cylinder engines and handsome,elegantly-proportioned bodies, and were guaranteed to provide theproud new owner with genuine 100mph motoring.Aston Martin Ulster ‘CMC 614’ made its competition debut innothing less than the most grueling endurance race of the ‘tweenwaryears, the Italian Mille Miglia. First to compete in ‘CMC 614’was that great British motor sportsman, Edward Ramsden ‘Eddie’Hall, of Kirkburton near Huddersfield. He was heir to a successfulYorkshire textiles business which funded his motor racing andother sporting exploits. He lived at Kirkburton near Huddersfield,was burly, powerfully built and outgoing.He favoured races thatdemanded personal stamina, and is best remembered today for hismultiple drives in the Tourist Trophy race at Ards in Ulster, in which heappeared every year it was run, from 1928-1936.Partnered by friend and mechanic Marsden in the 1935 Mille Miglia, hefought for the class lead with ‘CMC’ now offered here before havingto retire at Siena with the Aston Martin leaking oil. The problem wasquickly corrected back at Feltham and the car prepared for the LeMans 24-Hours, in which two other prominent British amateur driversof the period, Maurice Falkner and Tommy Clarke, survived the fullduration to finish eighth overall, second of the Aston Martin entries andpart of the winning team of the Rudge Whitworth Cup.240 | Goodwood festival of speed

Eddie Hall then entered the car for the Targa Abruzzo 24-Hour race on thelong Pescara road circuit in Italy. His co-driver was to be Count Giovanni‘Johnny’ Lurani but when they met on the road outside Pescara, theoutgoing, urbane Italian aristocrat was startled to find Eddie Hall mostunhappy. His hotel had proved abysmal, he had not in any way receivedthe welcome he had been expecting and without further ado he left forhome, leaving the car and a team of Aston Martin works mechanics thereto support them kicking their heels.Lurani evidently then spent a fraught three days trying to contact ‘Bert’Bertelli who was somewhere on an Italian holiday. Once contact had beenmade, Lurani sought permission to run ‘CMC’ in the Pescara race. Bertellihappily agreed terms, and Lurani shared its driving with ErmenegildoStrazza to finish quite handsomely, first in the 1.5 litre class, third onhandicap and fifth on the road.Eddie Hall never did step up to the plate and buy the car from the AstonMartin factory. He concentrated instead upon his Derby Bentley ‘TTspecial’, and in 1936 this Aston Martin went instead to its alternative firstowner ex-works, one Ian Porter-Hargreaves.He tried to enhance its 1½-litre engine’s performance by fitting a Centricsupercharger, but over the following three years the car in his hands didnot achieve startling success. Although the Centric supercharger wasremoved from ‘CMC’ many years ago, the bonnet bulge to accommodateit remains in place.Porter-Hargreaves retained the Aston Martin during the war years 1939-45, eventually selling it to a fellow enthusiast named McNab-Meredith. Thesupercharger was removed at some point during his tenure, and it wasfrom him that Derrick Edwards bought the car in 1963.He began a hectic competition career in the car which saw him racing,sprinting or hill-climbing almost every weekend, not only in the BritishIsles but also on Continental tours in Europe. In a ‘Motor Sport’ magazinefeature on the car in the June 2002 issue, Fred Blakelock is quoted: “Hewent out almost every weekend. At first he would drive to the events, butas the car became more highly modified he began to trailer it. The careven went round the world in a container. He sent it to Laguna Seca, gotthere with minutes to spare before qualifying, then couldn’t get it to start.He repacked it in its container and it went on to complete the journey. Hiscomment was ‘I hope it enjoyed its trip...”. Indeed the cars fame becamesuch that during Edwards ownership it was ‘CMC’ that was chosen byMatchbox to be the example of this famous model which they modeledfor their Airfix 1/32 kit.Over the many years through which he campaigned ‘CMC’, DerrickEdwards constantly modified it to save split seconds in competition.Like all his rivals he adopted small-diameter, wider-rim wheels, replacedits 25-gallon fuel tank with a sprint replacement good for ten laps roundSilverstone. The engine – painstakingly rebuilt for Mr Edwards by EckhartBerg - received a bunch-of-bananas exhaust system, the suspension wasstiffened and dampers uprated, every surplus ounce of weight was saved.242 | Goodwood festival of speed

The Derrick Edwards Aston Martin Ulster became a familiar and famousAlfa and Invicta eater. Most importantly, Derrick Edwards carefullystored everything he had removed from the car during this developmentprogramme, and in Fred Blakemore’s later stewardship they were allconscientiously refitted – returning ‘CMC’ (liveried in his favourite andfamiliar dark blue) closely to its original 1930s specification.Despite its hectic competition programme ‘CMC’ proved incrediblyreliable. Part of this longevity has been due to the engine beingassembled with shell bearings instead of white metal and steelconnecting rods instead of duralumin. The unit ran safely to 5,500rpm,and Derrick Edwards quoted its power output as being nearer to120bhp than to Feltham’s original 85. This would have been reduced toaround a current 105bhp when the original cast exhaust manifold wasrefitted, but with benefit of constant improvement in cam design, valvegear,valve springs and breathing. At some point, the original cylinderblock and head have been replaced, this representing the only significantdisruption to the fabric of this remarkable car during its long life.The Ulster model is widely considered to have been the best handling ofpre-war Aston Martins and many who have driven ‘CMC’ in recent yearsrate it amongst the best, of the best. In the middle of Derrick Edwards’ownership of this most respected pre-war Aston Martin, he foundedhis marque specialist business Morntane Engineering together withhis partner Judy Hogg and Pink Floyd musician and competition carenthusiast Nick Mason (who briefly owned ‘CMC’). Andy Bell, in whosespecialist and painstaking hands ‘CMC’ has been prepared in recentyears, worked at Morntane and took over the business in 1992.More recently during the current ownership ‘CMC’ has been fastidiouslyprepared and maintained by leading pre War Aston Martin race preparerAlan Brooke (formerly of Ecurie Bertelli) and under the current ownershiphas wanted for nothing. Completing two Mille Miglia retrospectives andtwo Le Mans Classics entirely without problem, along with scores of clubraces, nobly upholding this car's matchless competition pedigree.Professional writer-cum-racing driver Mark Hales drove the car at AstonClinton hill-climb for a commemorative article in 2013 and describedhow, upon first acquaintance, Andy Bell had walked “...me round,pointing out the original body panels, a detail that seems extraordinarygiven the amount of racing the car has done, and the original pipinground the cockpit edges that looks like a piece of garden hose butreveals a hint of the car’s 1930s emerald green livery. The seats areoriginal too and a huge improvement over many. A deep wrap-aroundbucket but, most important, whose sides extend upwards to supportthe torso. There aren’t any belts, but you still feel located”.On the road, Mark Hales found the car “Simple, strong, reliable, lowcentre of gravity and benign handling – all the characteristics thatmade it successful in the 1930s have held good for the many years inbetween, and are still true today. That’s why it gets raced as much as itdoes, and probably always will...”.There writes a dyed-in-the-wool racer, but ‘CMC 614’ as offered here isnot only perhaps the best-known and most revered Aston Martin Ulsterof them all, but it is offered here as a tremendously versatile all-rounder, apost-Vintage thoroughbred sports car which is at much at home on therace circuits of the world such as Le Mans Classic or on the public road,which would be ideal for long-distance touring or for any of the currentHistoric motoring world’s greatest sprint, hill-climb, and rally-style events.As a genuine Works run 1935 Aston Martin Ulster, ex-Le Mans, ex-MilleMiglia and ex-Targa Abruzzo – plus its incredible, absolutely jam-packedhistory of postwar competition – this chance to acquire ‘CMC 614’ “...onthe button and ready to go” is a very significant opportunity indeed.

3521983 Lamborghini Countach LP500S CoupéRegistration no. RYP 547YChassis no. ZA9C0050LA12550246 | Goodwood festival of speed


The legendary Miura was always going to be a hard act to follow,so the extent to which its successor eclipsed the greatest of 1960ssupercars came as something of a shock to all. The sensation of the1971 Geneva Salon, the Countach was styled, like its predecessor, byBertone’s Marcello Gandini. The production version would not be seenfor another two years, with deliveries commencing in 1974.As used in the Miura, Lamborghini’s four-cam V12 engine was retainedfor the Countach, though this time installed longitudinally. To achieveoptimum weight distribution, designer Paolo Stanzani placed thefive-speed gearbox ahead of the engine between the seats, and thedifferential - driven by a shaft passing through the sump - at the rear.The result was a delightful gearchange and a better-balanced car thanthe Miura. When production began in 1974, the Countach sportedan improved spaceframe chassis and the standard 4.0-litre - insteadof the prototype’s 5.0-litre - engine. Even with the smaller engineproducing ‘only’ 375bhp, the aerodynamically efficient Countachcould attain 170mph and, as one would expect, came with racetrackroadholding to match.The first upgrade appeared in 1978 as the ‘LP400S’, the majorchanges being confined to the chassis and suspension. A rear aerofoilbecame available, making the Countach look even more outrageousand, not surprisingly, was the choice of most customers. TheCountach’s potentially largest market - the USA - remained closed to ituntil the arrival of the ‘emissions friendly’ LP500S in 1982.Although no more powerful than before, the newcomer’s 4,754ccengine brought with it a useful increase in torque. The finaldevelopment saw the engine enlarged to 5,167cc and new fourvalves-per-cylinder‘heads adopted for the Countach Quattrovalvole in1985, the latter’s 300km/h (186mph) top speed making it – at the time- the world’s fastest car.A rare, right-hand drive UK-delivered LP500S, only 25 of which weremade, chassis number ‘12550’ was tested by Car magazine while itwas owned by racing driver, demolition contractor and Lamborghiniaficionado, Barry Robinson, and carried the registration ‘BR 33’. Acopy of the article, which appeared in Car’s April 1984 edition, ison file. The Lamborghini’s first owner, Robinson had had the engineblueprinted, its output being estimated by the factory at around425bhp, some 50 horsepower more than standard. Car revealed thatRobinson had recently set a series of British speed and endurancerecords with his Countach, lapping Vauxhall’s Millbrook test track at180mph for extended periods. The car was subsequently reregistered‘LAM 80P’ and was acquired by the present registered keeper inMarch 2007.Kept in storage for the last ten-plus years, the Countach is describedby the vendor as generally sound and in good condition, thoughit would benefit from light cosmetic refurbishment. Freshly MoT’dand offered with V5 registration document, it represents an excitingopportunity to acquire one of these iconic Italian supercars.£90,000 - 110,000€110,000 - 140,000Motor Cars | 247

Rightly regarded as one of the all-time great classic sports cars, themuscular, fire-breathing Cobra succeeded in capturing the hearts ofenthusiasts like few of its contemporaries. Just 1,000-or-so Cobrasof all types were built between 1962 and 1967, but such was themodel’s enduring popularity that production was resumed in 1980.Convinced that a market existed for an inexpensive sportscarcombining European chassis engineering and American V8 power,Le Mans-winning Texan racing driver Carroll Shelby concocted anunlikely alliance between AC Cars and the Ford Motor Company.The former’s Ace provided the simple twin-tube chassis frame -strengthened and supplied with four-wheel disc brakes for the Cobra- into which was persuaded one of Ford’s lightweight, small-blockV8s. The 260ci (4.2-litre) prototype first ran in January 1962, withproduction commencing later that year.Exclusively for the USA initially, Cobras - minus engines - were sentfrom England to be finished off by Shelby in California, and it wasnot until late in 1963 that AC Cars in Thames Ditton got around tobuilding the first fully finished European-specification cars.After 75 Cobras had been built with the 260cu in engine, the morepowerful 289ci (4.7-litre) unit was standardised in 1963. Rackand-pinionsteering was the major MkII up-date; then in 1965 anew, stronger, coil-suspended MkIII chassis was introduced toaccommodate Ford’s 427cu in (7.0-litre) V8 engine. Wider bodywork,extended wheelarch flares and a bigger radiator intake combined tocreate the definitive - and much copied - Cobra MkIII look.Motor Cars | 249

The car is well known to, and isrecorded in, the Shelby American Registry and has won numerousawards in the USA where it spent much of its life. The 1997 ShelbyAmerican World Registry records that ‘CSX2423’ was originallyfinished in Vineyard Green with black interior and invoiced to ShelbyAmerican on 4th April 1964.Shipped to Los Angeles and sold by Hughson Ford on 15th July1965, it came with various class ‘A’ accessories, including WSWtyres, luggage rack, antifreeze, outside rear view mirror, radio andantenna. Although presumably sold in the Northern Carolina area, itsearly history is not known. The earliest recorded owner was WilliamJ Sline (Geneva, NY) who advertised it for sale in November 1972.Thereafter the car passed through a number of hands (all recorded)and was rebuilt more than once before being acquired by JamesGriffin, of Burlingham, CA in 1990.Griffin wanted to re-restore ‘CSX2423’ but found local specialistshad 3-4 year waiting lists, so the Cobra was sent to England whereit was fully rebuilt by David Sanderson. Since completion it has taken1st place at the Hillsborough Concours and 2nd at Palo Alto, and in2006 took part in the very popular Tour Auto event.

354 N1952 Allard K2 RoadsterChassis no. K2 3126Using a crashed Ford V8 coupe on to which he had grafted the bodyfrom a Grand Prix Bugatti, racing driver Sydney Allard constructedone of the most unlikely of all pre-war trials specials. Nevertheless,the Allard Special’s lightweight construction and relatively powerfulAmerican V8 engine, although not the first such combination,demonstrated the formula’s potential and provided the inspiration forfuture imitators, including Carroll Shelby who acknowledged Allard’sinfluence on the Cobra.After WW2, Allard progressed from special-builder to motormanufacturer, though the latter activity was really little more thana means of financing the company’s competition programme.Allard’s post-war cars combined the same virtues of light weight,independent front suspension and an abundance of American V8power, which had been features of that first trials special of the mid-1930s. These favourable characteristics enabled Allard to establisha formidable competition record in the immediate post-war years.Despite its small size and limited resources, Allard’s achievementswere legion, Sydney himself finishing 3rd at Le Mans in a J2 sportsracerand winning the Monte Carlo Rally outright in a P-Type saloon.252 | Goodwood festival of speed


Introduced in 1946, the competition-orientated J1 two-seateremployed a 100” wheelbase chassis equipped with Allard’strademark independently suspended ‘split’ front axle and a De Dionrear end with inboard brakes. Like the vast majority of productionAllards, the J1 used Ford/Mercury components, these being readilyobtainable from Ford in the UK. The K1 tourer was broadly similarapart from its longer wheelbase. In 1950 the latter was supersededby the restyled K2, which together with its more streamlined,all-enveloping bodywork boasted a floor-mounted gear change,coil-sprung front suspension and a small luggage boot among theimprovements. UK customers could choose between the usual Ford/Mercury engines while cars bound for the USA were usually fittedwith either Cadillac or Chrysler power units.Being top quality, hand-built British cars with American mechanicals,Allards were very usable and relatively inexpensive to run andmaintain. With their powerful and torquey V8 engine, three-speedmanual gearbox and high overall gearing, they were fast andexciting cars to drive. Allards were immensely popular in productionsports car racing in North America, providing drivers such as TomCole, Zora Duntov, John Fitch and Carroll Shelby with numeroussuccesses. Indeed, in 1953 Shelby won every race he entered withhis Allard.This example of one of the most desirable Allards is fitted with aCadillac V8 engine displacing 331ci (5.4 litres), which is coupled toa La Salle three-speed manual transmission, and thus representsthe K2 in its ultimate specification. This tuned engine incorporates aforged steel crankshaft and an Isky racing camshaft with hydrauliclifters, and breathes via a quartet of Stromberg twin-chokecarburettors. The maximum power output is reputedly around300bhp, more than enough to give many modern sports cars asevere fright.The current, titled vendor purchased the Allard at the Pebble Beachauction in 1991 and took the Allard back to his vineyard in France(one of that country’s undisputed finest) where it has been used fordriving around the estate. At time of purchase the car had coveredonly 100 miles since a show-quality restoration by Pat Crowley, apast award winner and judge at Pebble Beach.

355 *1939 Lagonda V12 Drophead CoupéChassis no. 14059Engine no. 7541‘In making an evaluation of the better British cars, the LagondaV12 certainly must be considered an excellent design and one thatcontributed to raising the state of the art - not forgetting, of course,that it probably should be considered W O Bentley’s masterpiece.’ -Road & Track, October 1978.A quite remarkable piece of automotive engineering, the W O BentleydesignedLagonda V12 was one of the outstanding British models ofits day and one of the exclusive handful of 1930s road cars that couldexceed 100mph in standard tune. Not only that, but the magnificent,4.5-litre, V12 engine produced sufficient torque to endow the car witha walking-pace-to-maximum capability in top gear.For Lagonda, the year 1935 had brought with it bankruptcy andrescue, its benefactor being a young solicitor named Alan Good.Good reorganised the company and recruited W O Bentley, by thendisillusioned with life at Rolls-Royce, which had acquired Bentleyin 1931. Bentley succeeded in refining the muscular, MeadowsenginedLagondas while working on a vastly more-advanced designthat many consider the great man’s finest.First seen in 1936, the Lagonda V12 did not commence deliveriesuntil 1938 and only 189 had been built before the coming of WW2ended production. The advanced chassis employed doublewishboneindependent front suspension and was available witha varied choice of coachwork, including limousine. Frank Feeley,stylist of Aston Martin’s post-war ‘DB’ cars, was responsible forthe elegant factory bodywork. As usual, the short-chassis Rapideroadster provided even more performance.254 | Goodwood festival of speed


The V12’s announcement demonstrated that the revitalisedcompany was very much back in business, an impression Lagonda’sdecision to enter the 1939 Le Mans 24-Hour Race can only haveenhanced. The marque already possessed a creditable Le Mansrecord, a short-chassis 4½-Litre driven by John Hindmarsh andLuis Fontes having won the endurance classic outright in 1935.In October 1938 a Lagonda V12 saloon driven by Earl Howe hadcovered 101.5 miles at Brooklands in a single hour, despite havingto stop to change a burst tyre, and this together with other highspeedtests, during which the car had shown complete reliability,indicated that it would be a highly suitable candidate for revivingBritish prestige at Le Mans.Accordingly, it was decided to enter a two-car team in 1939 withthe aim of securing valuable data, and then to mount a full-strengthchallenge the following year. In the race the two streamlined twoseaterLagondas fared better than expected, Messrs Brackenburyand Dobson finishing in third place with Lords Selsdon and Waleranfourth. Had a less conservative race strategy been employed, theneither might have won. According to information kindly supplied bythe Lagonda Club Archivist, Arnold Davey, factory-bodied chassisnumber ‘14059’ was delivered in January 1939 through dealersGaffikin Wilkinson of Hanover Square, London to an A F Lingard ofCombend Manor, Elkstone, Cheltenham.The car was finished in Cerric Grey with maroon trim and grey hood,and came equipped with Ace wheel discs, tonneau cover, gaitersprings to the rear, special hub nuts and a rear bumper, the latterbeing classed as an extra! It was next owned by one B Collins ofSidbury Hall, Bridgenoth, Shropshire. Laid up during WW2, the cardid not emerge from hibernation until 1951 when it was serviced bymarque specialists Davis Motors having covered only 31,000 miles.The current vendor purchased the Lagonda at the AlexandraPalace auction in 1979, by which time it had been fitted with theengine out of ‘16037’ a V12 saloon de ville. After a few years onmuseum display in Blackpool, the car was driven to the LakelandMotor Museum at Holker Hall. Some time later an attempt tostart it resulted in an engine failure and in 1996 the Lagonda wastaken back to the owner’s home in Norway. An engine rebuild wassubsequently carried out in Oslo by a friend of the late vendor, anaircraft mechanic specialising in Hercules engines, who discoveredthat the cause of the failure had been a broken valve. Described asin generally good condition, the engine being very good, this rareLagonda V12 drophead is offered with a history file containing manyLagonda Club magazines and newsletters, original Autocar roadtest reports, a Lagonda Club Illustrated Spares Catalogue and aLagonda 12 Cylinder Instruction Book.Should the vehicle remain in the EU, local import taxes of 5% will beapplied to the hammer price.£180,000 - 240,000€220,000 - 300,000Motor Cars | 255


3561965 De Tomaso Vallelunga CompetizionÉ Mid-Engined CoupéChassis no. VLD 1611Engine no. 8465061Alejandro de Tomaso began racing in his native Argentina in 1951,before moving to Italy to drive for Maserati and Osca – the latter firmhaving been founded by the Maserati brothers after they had soldtheir original company. This experience prompted De Tomaso tofound his own company in Modena, Italy, in 1959.Initially, racing was the company’s sole aim, the fledgling firmproducing cars for Formula Junior, Formula 3, Formula 2 andultimately Formula 1. The first De Tomaso road car – named theVallelunga after the Roman motor racing circuit – did not appear until1965. It was a pretty small-engined Coupe built in small numbersand it would contribute its ultimately well-proven short-wheelbasebackbone chassis (extensively re-engineered) to the subsequentMangusta model. This latter design’s introduction finally establishedDe Tomaso Automobili as a serious manufacturer.The Vallelunga prototypes, meanwhile, had been styled andconstructed by Carrozzeria Fissore, an alloy-bodied Spider and a pairof closed Coupes having been completed in 1963-64. The Vallelungawas assembled around a Chapman-esque backbone chassis frameand was powered by a 1.5-litre Ford Kent 4-cylinder engine which,unusually, performed double-duty as a stressed chassis member – apractice becoming accepted in competition car construction of thetime but rare within road cars.De Tomaso’s long racing experience was also reflected in the designof the Vallelungas running gear, which comprised all-independentsuspension by wishbones and coil springs, rack-and-pinion steeringand four-wheel disc brakes.Alejandro de Tomaso had hoped that a major motor manufacturerwould buy into the programme and adopt the project as its own, butwhen no such approach was forthcoming he decided to go it alone.256 | Goodwood festival of speed


The production Vallelunga featured striking glass-fibre Coupébodywork – styled by the young Giorgetto Giugiaro – with morethan a hint of Ferrari 250LM and Dino 206 combined. Comparedwith the Fissore-styled cars, there were numerous detail differences,the most obvious concerning access to the engine bay, which wasvia a glass hatch rather than the hinged clamshell-type rear bodysection of the prototypes.Although just a humble pushrod power unit, the Ford Kent enginewas both robust and immensely tunable, and when installed inthe Vallelunga it was fitted with Weber carburettors. Power wastransmitted via a Hewland transaxle. Approximately 50 productionVallelungas were made during 1965-66 before De Tomaso movedon to manufacture the Mangusta. Of the Vallelunga series, onlytwo cars are believed to have been completed in right-hand driveconfiguration for delivery to the UK market. Colonel Ronnie Hoare,head of the Maranello Concessionaires company which importedFerraris, had expressed an interest in the De Tomaso programme.Of the two known right-hand drive variants, chassis number ‘1601’was – we are advised – a road car, while the other – chassis ‘1611’offered here – is one of only three built by the factory to competitionspecification and fitted with the 1558cc Lotus-Ford twin-cam engine,Brevetti disc brakes and Colotti 5-speed gearbox.What is believed to be this car was the subject of an article by PatrickMcNally in the November 26th 1965 issue of Autosport in which hevisited Hoare’s garage to view the car (copy of article on file).Col. Hoare opted against taking on the De Tomaso distributorshipand it is believed that ‘1611’ was sold on to the well-known racingdriver and collector, Robs Lamplough. The Vallelunga later went intoAustralian ownership where it was owned by Fred Vogel and laterAndrew Osmond who raced it occasionally. A communication datedJanuary 27, 2014, is included in the De Tomaso’s documentationfile, coming from former works driver Franco Bernabei, explainingthat the model was “...named after one of my good performance inthe GP circuit Vallelunga in Rome. It was exhibited at the Modern ArtMuseum in New York” – and that “All the official races the De TomasoVallelunga entered were made with Ford engine 1600cc 4-cylinders” .Described by the vendor as in generally good condition with excellentengine, brakes and bodywork and with the fitting of electronic ignitionbeing the only known deviation from original specification. The car’spresentation here represents an exciting opportunity to acquire aunique Italian mid-’60s competition Coupé which is eligible for entryinto a wide range of the most prestigious motoring events.£120,000 - 160,000€150,000 - 200,000Motor Cars | 257

Here, Bonhams is delighted to offer the extraordinary, the unique,the ground-breaking Aston Martin Atom – compact, lightweight,sophisticated, a design before its time, a prophetic forerunner ofall the high power-to-weight ratio, high-performance Coupe, orBerlinetta Grand Touring cars which became such a defining featureof the 1950s and ‘60s to follow. Here is an all-British concept car tobe recalled and mentioned in the same breath with the much morecelebrated and trend-setting Alfa Romeo 8C-2900 Berlinetta carsof the late 1930s, and the Savonuzzi Aerodinamica Coupes fromCisitalia in the late 1940s.This avant-garde, and highly-original aerodynamic Coupe conceptcar has been both renowned and revered for decades by AstonMartin owners and by the inner circle of knowledgeable andconfirmed classic car enthusiasts.But while Aston Martin’s unique Atom is less well-known to the publicat large, this 1939-1940 one-off prototype from the legendary Britishmarque is in fact a hugely significant and influential landmark withinmotoring history.As the specialist British marque’s frontier-technology test-bed,the 1939-40 Aston Martin Atom survives today, celebrating its75th anniversary in fantastically well-restored, highly-originalspecification as one of the World’s earliest fully running motorindustry concept cars.It featured in period:• A fully-patented, lightweight yet rigid integrated body and tubularspaceframe chassis structure (years ahead of the multi-tubularspaceframe Mercedes-Benz 300SLs)• Lightweight aluminium body paneling, which permitted speedystyling changes.• Patented parallel-linkage coil-sprung independent front suspension• The first UK use of the later almost universal Salisbury back axle• Cotal electromagnetic semi-automatic gearbox – forerunner of themodern ‘paddle-shift’ system.• Aerodynamic ‘fastback’ style Coupe coachwork• Aeronautical-style ‘hammock’ seatsCome 1945 the Atom would also provide the first use of AstonMartin’s newly patented 2-litre (DB1) engine. This had high liftexhaust valves later used on F1 Judd engines and, slightly modified,powered the 1948 Belgian Grand Prix winning Aston Martin.While the General Motors Buick ‘Y-Job’ of 1938 is widely acceptedas having been the very first pure ‘concept car’ (in the modernmeaning of that term) ever confected, the Aston Martin Atomemerged just a few fleeting months later.Motor Cars | 259


The Atom was finished and UK road-registered only six weeks afterthe Dunkirk evacuation in 1940. Aston Martin’s contemporary owner,enthusiast businessman Gordon Sutherland, had ordered the car tobe designed and built by a dedicated engineering team led by ClaudeHill. At that fraught time when park railings, pots and pans werebeing melted-down to aid the War effort, the Atom was amongstfewer than 750 private cars to be UK registered in the entire year.Gordon Sutherland himself explained that, “The whole point of theAtom was to make the smallest, lightest, quietest enclosed saloonpossible”. It was intended to combine the performance, roadholdingand handling of the finest contemporary sports car with quietnessand the comfort of an aerodynamically efficient, saloon body, easilymodified and economically produced. Within this latter discipline theAtom’s concept was probably even further forward-looking than,even ten years ago, we would have appreciated....In that pre-nuclear age Gordon Sutherland and his colleaguessimply knew of the ‘atom’ as being the smallest, yet potentially mostpowerful, item conceivable – the essence of everything – and thatis why the name was chosen as the perfect title for this technicallyadvanced and futuristic Grand Touring car and registered with theSMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders).The Aston Martin design unit’s ambitions had no British exemplar,but Gordon Sutherland would admit they considered thecontemporary BMW 328 quite closely during their design periodin 1939. Both the company owner and engineer Claude Hillappreciated that the entire era of ‘vintage’ motoring was over.Future customers would expect more comfort in terms of ride andweather protection. To achieve such objectives with traditionalmanufacture meant hand-built heavy coachwork demanding hugeand extravagantly fuel-thirsty engines to suit.Major motor manufacturers were beginning to make unitary-bodycars with independent suspensions – widely derided by true carenthusiasts as floppy, wallowy rust-buckets – but of obvious appealto the mushrooming motoring market at large.Although high-achievers within the motor sporting world, AstonMartin’s vintage-era chassis were undoubtedly heavy and ClaudeHill in particular considered them insufficiently rigid. For the Atom hecreated a lightweight, torsionally strong box-frame chassis welded-upfrom rectangular steel tubing and clothed in aerodynamically-sleekaluminium body paneling – a constructional method ideal for AstonMartin’s low-volume high-quality practices.260 | Goodwood festival of speed


Gordon Armstrong drew the Atom’s patented suspension system,independent at the front by short trailing arms and coil springs whilethe live rear axle was suspended upon long, supple leafsprings.Hydraulic lever-arm dampers featured all round. Direct, high-gearedsteering with only 2.25 turns lock-to-lock was tailored to the feelrequired from a high-performance car of true quality. The FrenchCotal electric-magnetic four-speed semi-automatic gearbox was‘the latest thing’, and in early testing Sutherland’s team timed theAtom at 98mph, running its original 1950cc long-stroke 4-cylinderengine on wartime ‘Pool’ petrol – stupendous performance for asmall – notionally ‘four-seat’ (though in truth rather confined – 92-inchwheelbase) saloon of that era.The Aston Martin Atom’s wartime press reception was ecstatic. ‘TheAutocar’ described it as: “The future in the present...a completebreakaway from existing Aston Martins and the general run of Britishcars...The saloon body breaks with British car convention...see it asthe comfortable, convenient sports car of the future...”‘Motor Sport’ magazine enthused: “This is a machine whichconvinces you it is all the way a winner...”, while ‘The Motor’ wasemphatic that “...in this car we can see the new order of motoring...”.This unique 90-100mph 2-plus-2 Coupe was used as much aspossible by Mr and Mrs Gordon Sutherland for both personal andprivate transport, their children often travelling in its cosy rear seats.Indeed it took part in the exclusive Chessington 1941 and Cockfoster1945 rallies organized by Rivers-Fletcher. However lack of publiclyavailable fuel during wartime saw the Atom stored at his factoryfor up to three months at a time, but Gordon Sutherland knew itstechnology-proving value for a postwar resumption of Aston Martinproduction. He is said to have driven it personally for more than100,000 test miles and immediately postwar the experience of drivingthe Atom persuaded industrialist David Brown to buy the companythat had created it.In 1944 the Atom was fitted with a Claude Hill-designed 1970ccpushrod engine breathing through twin SU carburettors, and GordonSutherland’s notes confirm an intention to add an extra 6-incheswheelbase, to render the occasional rear seats properly habitable.He also projected a reduction in fuel tank size (from the original 17gallons) to provide more luggage space, either a higher back-axleratio or overdrive, minor front suspension refinement, a redesignedrattle free window mechanism and a lower roof and scuttle line.Against a background of wartime shortage and privation, MrSutherland’s list envisaged the time when materials might againbecome available. While the Atom influenced David Brown’s decisionto acquire the company, many of its innovations and lessons-learnedwould be built postwar into the David Brown-owned Aston Martincompany’s illustrious DB-series of Grand Touring cars.Motor Cars | 261


Today the Aston Martin Atom, taxed, tested, with UK V5C registrationdocument and FIVA passport, is ready to rally or exhibit, being wellrestored/conservedwith painstaking attention to retaining absolutelyas much of its surviving originality as possible, it is believed to havecompleted some 250,000 miles running; including that during theownership by W.O. Bentley’s godson Bob Gathercole of Samurairacing and Pebble Beach fame. The car comes complete with animpressive archive of documents and photographs that chart itsprovenance, together with essential and valuable running spares.This most significant cornerstone of Aston Martin marque historyhas changed hands only once over the past 49 years. The currentowner , recognizing the once in a lifetime opportunity – acquired theAtom sight unseen – in 1986 from France where it had been in anex Aston racing driver’s collection and had been loaned from time totime to the Musee de l’Automobile, in Chatellerault, Vienne, and theexclusive Le Mans Motor Museum. This largely unsung little jewel –yet one so absolutely iconic amongst true cognoscenti – has longbeen conserved and maintained by one hyper-enthusiast owner.Such is the importance of the Atom that it receives numerousinvitations to events worldwide. Most recently it has receivedaccolades by being voted Best Car of Show 2012 at the NECInternational Classic Car Show and being chosen for the AMLCentennial timeline at Kensington Palace in 2013. The new ownerwill have the opportunity of enjoying many more such occasions.The Atom is, in short, one of Aston Martin’s absolute landmarkdesigns. It is certainly one of the most exciting one-off British carsthat Bonhams has have ever been asked to offer. It is unique, itis super sophisticated, and - when one considers it within thecontext of 1939-40 – its creation alone represents a monumentalachievement.That the Atom has survived in almost constant use, and is today sobeautifully conserved in highly original order, is a great tribute to theenthusiasm and taste of the Aston Martin connoisseurs who havefostered it for so many years...In short, if it were not for the Atom, David Brown might not havebought Aston Martin. What fate would then have befallen thecompany we do not know, but without David Brown, there wouldbe no Aston Martin DB series cars - no DB3S, no DBR1, no JamesBond DB5. We all owe so much to the mighty Atom.This is a unique opportunity to buy into motoring history’s mostsophisticated stratum.£600,000 - 1,000,000€740,000 - 1,260,0001Atom at Chessington, 13 July 1941.

358THE 1953 SCUDERIA MILANO RUGGERI-SPELUZZIAIR-COOLED TRANSVERSE-8 2.5-LITRE FORMULA 1 PROJECTHere Bonhams is delighted to offer for sale by auction one of the great‘might-have-been’ projects from Formula 1 racing history. It comprisesnothing less than a kind of Italian-manufactured forerunner of the rearengined,transverse straight-8 engined Bugatti Type 251 prototype,conceived and ‘almost’ completed in Milan over the seven or eightyearperiod immediately preceding the Molsheim machine’s one-offrace appearance in the 1956 French Grand Prix at Reims-Gueux. TheRuggeri-Speluzzi would never reach so far, and its motor racing debut– in part perhaps dependent upon the result of this very Sale – has yetto be made…The project’s story began in 1947 with the enthusiastic Milanese brothersArnaldo and Arialdo Ruggeri, of Busto Arsizio outside the city. TheirScuderia Milano racing team had been very active with Maserati cars –campaigned up to and including the Indianapolis 500-Miles of 1947. Theythen engaged the technical qualification and expertise of engineeringProfessor Mario Speluzzi of the Milan Politecnio institute, and technicianEnrico Franchini to improve and perfect their ageing stable of Maserativetturetta and Grand Prix cars. First fruit of this cooperation would be theMaserati-Milan highly-supercharged 4-cylinder 1.5-litre design of 1949-50,but into the early 1950s as support for the old 1.5-litre supercharged/4.5-litre unsupercharged Grand Prix Formula evaporated, major competitionat Grand Prix level fell back upon unsupercharged 2-litre Formula 2 atWorld Championship level through 1952-53.A replacement, entirely postwar Formula 1 had been proposed andaccepted by the FIA governing body. It was to take effect on January1 1954, would apply until 1957, and while it slashed the superchargedengine allowance to only 750cc, it offered unsupercharged engines afull 2500cc capacity. A first Ruggeri-Speluzzi engine is believed to havebeen completed and tested during 1953. Prof. Speluzzi equippedthe prototype unit with Solex carburettors and there is evidence thatit was test run for at least eight hours on one of his Milan Politecnicodepartment’s test-beds, delivering a reputed 310bhp at an ear-splitting9,000rpm. A second engine – equipped in this case with eight dell’Ortomotor-cycle carburettors, was then tested in the Scuderia Milano’sworkshops, again with very promising results.Renowned American motoring historian Griffith Borgeson would laterdescribe how the project’s subsequent 1970s owner – Giovanni Litrico– told him of being visited by one of the elderly Ruggeri brothers, whoupon seeing the remains cried “La mia macchina!”, and burst into tears.He then explained how the initial Speluzzi straight-8 engine did notfeature an integral spur-gear transaxle, while its successor was morecompact and did include the transmission, such a distinctive feature ofthe later Gioachino Colombo-designed Bugatti 251. Indeed there are somany similarities between the two projects that knowledge of the formermust surely have informed work upon the latter…The transverse-mounted air-cooled straight-8 engine itself waseffectively an all-aluminium unit with a quoted bore and stroke of72mm x 76.5mm, displacing 2490cc.264 | Goodwood festival of speed


Meanwhile, a chassis intended for the new Ruggeri-Speluzzi ‘crossengined’project had been designed primarily by Arialdo Ruggeri,featuring amongst other factors within-the-wheelbase pannier fueltanks a la Vittorio Jano’s magnificent 1954-55 Lancia D50 V8 and asophisticated suspension system with driver-adjustable torsion-barspringing. He later recalled to Ing. Vittorio Fano, Secretary of theAssociazione Italiana per la Storia dell’Automobile’ for the Manovellamagazine, that construction of the car had commenced in the Milanoworkshop in 1952, and that the prototype was ready to run early in1954. He further claimed that Milano’s sometime senior driver, Luigi‘Gigi’ Villoresi, tested the completed car at Monza Autodrome, reachinga top speed of 330km/h (200mph)…which is extremely unlikely, buttypical of the wildly exaggerated contemporary claims made by all Italianmanufacturers from Ferrari and Maserati down…Sadly, however, the Ruggeri brothers proved completely unable toraise the financial backing necessary to continue racing developmentseriously into the new Formula. Catalan Spanish racing driver JuanJover – a long-time friend of Arialdo Ruggeri’s – offered some assistancewhich sponsored mock-up assembly of a third-generation power unitbefore all hope of completing the car to race-ready trim was finallyabandoned, reputedly as late as 1955-56. Arialdo Ruggeri’s financialproblems had finally overwhelmed his resources, and reputedly heresolved them by emigrating to Argentina.It appears that a body-panel set – designed to streamline only the car’snose while leaving its complex rear-mounted mechanical aggregateexposed to the airstream - was then scrapped, while numerous relatedcomponents which might have been of use in alternative ways were“lent, liberated or sold” to other related team cars or elsewhere withinthe Italian racing community. Ultimately, around 1958, leading Italianmotor sporting figure Count Giovanni ‘Johnny’ Lurani purchased the cartogether with all remaining parts – which possibly did not include thesecond engine.He then retained the car in his famous home garage – decorated uponits interior walls by the autographs of his many illustrious racing-fraternityvisitors – until the early 1970s when he and his classic car-dealing friendCorrado Cupellini offered it for sale. The entire collection of Ruggeri-Speluzzi components and related drawings was eventually acquired byTurin-based Sicilian Giovanni Litrico. He apparently made some attemptto complete the project, where Ruggeri had failed. But modern-erawork got little further than an attempt to complete the transmission,while Signor Litrico subsequently displayed the third or mock-up enginein at least one Salone dell’Automobili exhibition in Turin’s Valentino Parkhall during the late 1980s or early 1990s.Prof. Giovanni Speluzzi had been one of the automotive world’sleading experts in supercharging technology and he was evidently ahighly charismatic, much-admired and popular instructor at the MilanPolitecnico, counting both ‘Johnny’ Lurani himself and Ing. Fanoamongst students who had been both charmed and inspired by hiswork. Perhaps an inclination towards glamorous theory as much aspracticality is revealed by Count Lurani’s recollection of Speluzzi ashaving been “…a bit of a poet, as well as a clever engineer”.In recent years the entire project has been saved for future posterity by thecurrent vendor, himself a highly-respected Italian car specialist of particularMaserati renown. It is offered here as viewed, accompanied by “amountain of spares including a complete spare engine. The drawings forthe chassis seem to have come out of the backdoor of Colombo’s officewhilst he was designing the Bugatti in Milan…and some of them evenappear to have had the Bugatti name cut out of them…”.Plainly the full story of this intriguing Ruggeri-Speluzzi project and that ofthe Colombo-designed Bugatti 251 remains to be fully disentangled, butas a potentially staggeringly-exotic and glamorous Historic Grand Prixcar project we absolutely commend this most remarkable piece of earlypostwarItaliana – a fabulous beast, indeed.£140,000 - 180,000€170,000 - 220,000Motor Cars | 265

It was the need for a production-based engine for the new Formula2 that led to the introduction of a ‘junior’ Ferrari, the Dino 206GT,at the Turin Motor Show in 1967. Building on experienced gainedwith its successful limited edition Dino 206S sports-racer of 1966,Ferrari retained the racer’s mid-engined layout for the road car butinstalled the power unit transversely rather than longitudinally.A compact, aluminium-bodied coupe of striking appearance,the Pininfarina-styled Dino - named after Enzo Ferrari’s late sonAlfredino Ferrari and intended as the first of a separate but relatedmarque - was powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cam V6 driving throughan in-unit five-speed transaxle. The motor’s 180bhp was goodenough to propel the lightweight, aerodynamically-efficient Dinoto 142mph, and while there were few complaints about the car’sperformance, the high cost enforced by its aluminium constructionhindered sales.A 2.4-litre version on a longer wheelbase - the 246GT - replacedthe Dino 206 in late 1969. The body was now steel and thecylinder block cast-iron rather than aluminium, but the biggerengine’s increased power - 195bhp at 7,600rpm - was adequatecompensation for the weight gain. A Targa-top version, the 246GTS,followed in 1972. While not quite as fast in a straight line as its largerV12-engined stablemates, the nimble Dino was capable of showingalmost anything a clean pair of heels over twisty going.Testing the ultimate V6-engined Dino – the 246GT – in 1972, theauthoritative American motoring magazine Road & Track enthused,‘it is a thrill to drive a car like the Dino, one whose capabilities arefar beyond what even an expert driver can use in most real-worldmotoring, and that is the Dino’s reason for being. The real joy of agood mid-engined car is in its handling and braking and the Dinoshone as we expected it to.Motor Cars | 2674

Launchedin 1963, the Lotus Cortina - Cortina Lotus in Ford parlance - featuredthe Elan’s Ford-based, twin-overhead-camshaft, 1.6-litre engine in thetwo-door bodyshell. McPherson strut independent front suspensionwas retained, with revised spring and damper rates, while the rear leafsprings were replaced by coil-spring/damper units, axle location beingachieved by trailing arms and an ‘A’ bracket. The adoption of an alloydifferential casing proved a mixed blessing, the lightweight componentproving far less oil-tight than the original.Reversion to Ford’s standard leaf-sprung axle cured the problem. LotusCortinas dominated saloon racing’s 2-litre class, often challenging foroutright honours. Works cars were driven by Jim Clark, Graham Hill,Peter Arundell and Jackie Ickx, while Sir John Whitmore, driving an AlanMann-entered Lotus Cortina, was European Touring Car Champion in1965.

FormerNational Rally Champion Alistair Sutherland was in charge of thebuild and development. Engine preparation was entrusted to PowerEngineering of Uxbridge and the car was run by a small team out ofthe workshop at Gilders of Sheffield (an authorised VW dealer). TheGolf first appeared on the 1990 Plains National Rally driven by teamboss Sutherland. The late, great Mark Lovell was enlisted as the No.1driver thereafter and his first event was the 1990 Welsh International.Over the course of the season further development was carried out tobring the car closer to the full Group A specification with many partscoming direct from Volkswagen Motorsport in Hanover, Germany.Sutherland continued to be involved with the car’s running anddevelopment under the Gilders banner and also drove it on two morerallies. Midway through the 1991 season Volkswagen UK decided towithdraw support from the rally programme and the car was left ondisplay at Gilders for some years. Its best result was Lovell’s 4th placeon the Kerridge Severn Valley Stages rally in June 1991.As shown on the V5, ‘G888 NWB’ was registered new in April 1990to Gilders. Ownership changed in 2002 and car remained in thesame tenure until it was acquired by the current keeper’s family inearly 2011.The car as presented today retains its original bodyshell with Matterroll cage. It has the original Power Engineering engine, reputedlyoverhauled four years ago but there are no bills to substantiate this.The car was serviced in 2013 with new belts and fluids and is nowrunning on an Emerald ECU that has been professionally mappedon a rolling road earlier this year. It retains the extremely valuablefactory six-speed dog-engagement gearbox with short-shift, and hassuitably up-rated differentials, side-exit exhaust, paddle clutch and anadjustable pedal box. There are AP Racing four-pot brakes front andrear, Bilstein coil-overs all round and a Lifeline electric fire extinguisherto the interior along with Motordrive seats and Willans harnesses.It also has a works dashboard set up and lamp pod.

362The ex-Duchess Auto/Lotus East USA,Jerry Crawford, Simon Hadfield1964 Lotus 30 Mk 1 Two Seater Sports RacerChassis no. 30/L/15In the early 1960s, combining a British chassis with an AmericanV8 engine proved to be a very successful method of creating acompetitive sports-racer. This trend had begun a few years earlierwith the Chevrolet-engined Listers, while the likes of Cooper and Lolaquickly followed suit.Lotus had notable success with a V8-engined Lotus 19 in 1962 and1963. This two-seater racer used a traditional and very effective tubularspace-frame chassis, but for his new Group 7 car Colin Chapmandecided to use a backbone chassis similar to the newly launched Elanroadster. It consisted of a central box-type construction, supplementedin two narrower sections at either end to support the suspension,engine and gearbox.. Chapman,at the 1964 London Racing Car Show,unveiled the Lotus 30, one of the most striking and daring of all themany racing car designs that he would produce.Like all Lotus racing cars that preceded it, the 30 benefitted fromwell considered aerodynamics. Within the very low body, all themechanicals were attached to a backbone chassis, which wasprominently visible within the cockpit.Suspension was by double wishbones all round with the rear lowerwishbones reversed. Immediately behind the driver, the chassisseparated into two spars, which supported the engine. The powerplantof choice was Ford’s 289ci (4.7-litre) V8 that was fitted to the Lotus 30sporting around 350bhp, which was transmitted to the wheels via asturdy ZF five-speed transaxle.With its slippery body, 350bhp and a kerb weight of less than 700kg(1,540lb), the Lotus 30 looked to set to become a dazzling success.The first car was sent to Ian Walker together with Team Lotus’s No.1 driver, Jim Clark. who managed to finish in 2nd place on its debut.Subject to some teething issues, Chapman continued developmentand by the end of the 1964 season the works Lotus 30 had undergoneconsiderable development, and in the important Los Angeles TimesGrand Prix at Riverside, California, Clark finished in a storming 3rdplace overall.272 | Goodwood festival of speed


For the 1965 season Chapman launched the ‘Mk2’ series, whichfeatured a stronger chassis, front/rear spoilers, and bigger and widerwheels, while some cars were fitted with Tecalemit-Jackson fuelinjection. With the 30’s now having been developed, Clark still toscore three wins against the stiff opposition of such rivals as the LolaT70’s. In the space of two years, it is believed that circa 30 Lotus 30swere constructed.Lotus 30 Mk1, chassis number ‘30/L/15’, was sold new in 1964through U.S. East Coast Lotus Agent Duchess Auto. Based inMillerton, New York, Duchess Auto had been sole distributor of Lotuscars in the Eastern States since 1960, the driving forces behind thecompany were Newton B. Davis and Peter Pulver both successfulcompetitive drivers in their own rights, the concern would becomecommonly known as ‘Lotus East’.One of three Lotus 30s to come to the States that year, its first ownerwas Jerome ‘Jerry’ Crawford, who is listed as being of Bow, NewHampshire, when he entered his first race with the car, partneredby Shelby Walker at the Daytona 2000kms on 28th February 1965.Crawford early success in the 30 came driving solo at Corry Field,Pensacola in the USRRC on 11th April that year, with a 12th overalland 5th in class. Less than a month later at the Philadelphia Regionalraces in Vineland, New Jersey, a podium finish in 3rd was achieved.This started a string of more promising results, a win at the SCCAThompson Raceway being sandwiched between two second placingsat BryarMotorsportPark and Marlborough. Concluding the season, atthe American Road Race of Champions again back at Daytona wherehe had started his year, a respectable 4th overall and 2nd in Classrounded out the year.Early in the car’s life it was converted to Weber carburetors anduprated to Series 2 specifications by Shagarian Racing, and it isunderstood that midway through the season, presumably in anunlisted race, after an accident the car was rebuilt and reengineered tohave a removable tail as well as spoilers.At the end of the 1965 season, Crawford sold the ‘30’ to a Canadianbuyer, its later race history not being known until it was discovered inthe 1990s by renowned historic racer and preparer Simon Hadfield. Herestoredthe car on behalf of Gilberto Sandretto, preparing it to the ‘nth’degree, condition. This chassis propelled Sanretto to victory on theCento Ore in Italy and Hadfield himself to numerous victories to includethe Macau Grand Prix as well as a number of notable Goodwoodrevival results in the Whitsun Trophy races. Latterly, albeit several yearsago, Howard Redhouse has raced the car with great success, winningin Porto and podium results in Dijon and Tour Britannia.Having at all times been run by Simon Hadfield, it is in excellentcondition with FIA HTP papers applied for with all the necessaryinspections having already taken place. 30/L/15 and represents aneminently usable historic racing mount eligible for many of the mostprestigious historic races, the most appealing of course being theGoodwood Revival meeting.£150,000 - 180,000€190,000 - 220,000Motor Cars | 273

‘Of them all, the Ace was the truest sports car: it could be used fordaily commuting or for high-speed long-distance touring, but it couldalso be driven to a race meeting, campaigned with distinction, anddriven home again - even if that race was the Le Mans 24 Hours.’ -AC Heritage, Simon Taylor & Peter Burn.An influential and widely imitated design, the AC Ace (and its Cobraderivative) could trace its origins back to a one-off sports-racer builtby chassis engineer John Tojeiro for Cliff Davis in 1952. The successof Davis’ Tojeiro sports-racer prompted AC Cars to acquire therights to the design, which was put into production in 1954 as theAce. The Davis car’s pretty Ferrari 166-inspired barchetta bodyworkwas retained, as was Tojeiro’s twin-tube ladder frame chassis andCooper-influenced all-independent suspension, but the power unitwas AC’s own venerable, 2.0-litre, long-stroke six.Designed by AC co-founder John Weller, this overhead-camshaftengine had originated in 1919, and with a modest 80bhp (later100bhp) on tap, endowed the Ace with respectable, if notoutstanding, performance. Nevertheless, in tuned form the Aceenjoyed great success in production sports car racing, winning itsclass at the Le Mans 24-Hour Race in 1959. In 1955 AC addeda hardtop version - the fastback-styled Aceca - and both modelslater became available with the more powerful Bristol engine beforeproduction ceased in 1963. Towards the end of production the Acewas also available with the 2.6-litre overhead-valve Ford Zephyrengine installed.AC Ace Registrar Tim Isles has kindly confirmed that this left-handdrive Ace left the factory on 20th February 1958 and was originallyfinished in red with black upholstery interior and matching carpets.The car was exported to the USA’s East Coast, finding its first ownerin Maryland, and retains matching chassis and engine numbers.The current vendor purchased the Ace at Bonhams’ GoodwoodRevival sale in September 2011 (Lot 264) at which time it was said tohave been discovered recently in Philadelphia by a previous owner.Believed acquired in Ohio in 1972, the car had been in storage forsome 35 years. The Ace was treated to a complete mechanical‘going-over’ in 2010, which is documented by accompanyingreceipts totalling in excess of $37,000. Works carried out includeoverhauling the engine and brakes, fitting a new exhaust system, andreplacing the tyres.Since acquisition by the current vendor, the Ace has benefitedfrom further extensive restoration and is described as in generallyexcellent condition.

Completed on 30th October 1961 during the first few weeks ofproduction, this vehicle is one of the earliest surviving right-hand driveJaguar E-Type coupés (the chassis number sequence commencedat ‘860001’). ‘150 ABL’, chassis number ‘860022’, is the 22ndright-hand drive coupé to leave Brown’s Lane and one of the famedearly batch of home-market E-Types – no doubt assembled withextra care - allocated to prominent racing drivers and teams. NormanDewis, Jaguar’s legendary chief tester, has a diary note (in the historyfile) that he personally tested ‘860022’ at MIRA on the orders ofJaguar’s racing team boss, F R W ‘Lofty’ England, prior to delivery tocustomer M W Head.Brigadier Michael Head, CBE was a privateer Jaguar racer whosuccessfully campaigned an alloy-bodied XK120, C-Type, D-Typeand Cooper-Jaguar throughout the late 1940s and the 1950s. Hecompeted in 100 races between 1949 and 1957, coming 1st in 26of them, 2nd in 18 and in 1955 came 5th in the Swedish Grand Prixbehind Moss and Fangio. His son, Patrick Head, of co-founder andformer Technical Director of the Williams Formula 1 team remembers‘150 ABL’ well, and in a letter in the history file says that his father’sstrong motor sport relationship with Jaguar enabled him to buy oneof these desirable very early cars. Brigadier Head was also Directorof the War Office’s Fighting Vehicles establishment and a foundermember of the Jaguar Drivers’ Club, whose Michael Head TrophyRace is named in his honour.One of the finest and most original early E-Type coupés in existence,‘860022’ retains its 1961 registration number and chassis plate, andhas matching engine, gearbox and flywheel numbers.Interestingly the original registration (150 ABL Berkshire CountyCouncil) is one digit previous to a works MGA - 151 ABL - thatcompeted in the 1962 Monte Carlo Rally. Bracknell Motors inBerkshire, the Jaguar dealer who originally delivered this E-Type toMichael Head, campaigned racing MKII Jaguars and had periodmotor sport connections. The ABL suffix was used on several othercompetition cars notably 737 ABL on Pat Moss’s famous Mini Cooper.All details, numbers and colours exactly match those listed on theJaguar Heritage Certificate. The car has many early features includingin-set bonnet louvres, glassfibre glove box, flat sump, Dunlop brakeservo, flat-top dash, Cheney hose clamps, Bakelite brake and clutchreservoir tops, Butlers number plate lights, 1st edition handbook anda Shelly bottle jack. A Jaguar Drivers’ Club concours winner, ‘860022’was fully restored by respected marque specialist Martin Robey overa nine-year period (2003-2012). Only some 1,000 miles have beencovered since its completion and the car is presented in superlativecondition. The only notified deviations from factory specification areelectronic ignition, a high-torque starter motor and alternator electrics.The car is accompanied by three large ring binders of historycontaining service bills and ownership details dating back to the1970s, an old-style logbook and V5 registration document plus afull photographic record of the comprehensive body, mechanicaland interior restoration. There is over £100,000 worth of invoices forwork done over the last ten years together with photographs andletters from previous owners plus magazine features and records oftelevision appearances. A complete early toolkit and Jaguar owner’swallet containing the correct 1961 books and literature are presentalso. An instant starter, totally reliable and in truly concours condition,‘150 ABL’ is currently MoT’d/taxed and needs no work whatsoever.£150,000 - 180,000€190,000 - 220,000Motor Cars | 277

‘The Bristol Zagato Grand Touring model is designed to cater forthose who desire an even faster car than the standard type 406saloon. The Bristol Zagato is lighter and smaller with a tuned versionof the 406 Bristol engine. The lightweight two-door coachwork hasbeen built to the requirements of Anthony Crook Motors Limited byZagato of Milan, Italy, who have been famous coachbuilders for halfa century mainly in the field of high performance cars. The emphasishas been placed on providing extra speed without impairingreliability or flexibility and whilst still retaining reasonable rear seataccommodation - a feature normally lacking in Grand Touringsaloons.’ – Anthony Crook Motors.Last of the six-cylinder Bristols, the 406 was made between1958 and 1961 only, though the basic steel-framed alloy-panelledsuperstructure was carried over to its V8-engined 407 successor.Bristol’s BMW-based engine was extensively revised and enlargedto 2.2 litres for the 406. As a result, power went up to 130bhpand flexibility increased, while other improvements included servoassistedDunlop disc brakes on all four wheels and self-cancellingoverdrive as standard.Bristol had commissioned Carrozzeria Zagato to build a limited seriesof lightweight four-seater cars on the 406 chassis in October 1959, sixof which, plus a solitary two-seater, had been completed by the timeproduction ceased. Weighing 2,436lbs, the Zagato was a whopping574lbs lighter than the stock 406 as well as 11” shorter and 5” lower,with commensurate gains in both acceleration and top speed.One of five four-seater Bristol 406 Zagatos known to survive, chassisnumber ‘5299’, registered ‘NPK 120’, was displayed at the 1960Earls Court Motor Show and sold new by Anthony Crook Motors toRichard Robinson in May 1961. Mr Robinson was an active memberof the Bristol Owners’ Club and his 406 Zagato was a regular sightat Club events. He kept the Bristol until 1991 and then sold it toJonas Liden of Sweden. After some ten years of ownership, Mr Lidencommissioned a major restoration, which was undertaken by JayeEngineering of Ravenstone, Olney, Buckinghamshire over the period2002 to 2005 (see bills totalling £138,910 on file). Its first owner hadfitted Minilite alloy wheels in the 1960s and these were replacedduring the rebuild with correct original items. The current ownerpurchased the car in January 2010 from Bristol Motors, Kensington,who were selling it on Mr Liden’s behalf, and since his acquisition hashad seat belts and door mirrors fitted.Finished in silver-grey with cream leather interior, ‘120 NPK’ isdescribed as in generally excellent condition and at time of writingis taxed and MoT’d. Offered with sundry restoration and earlierinvoices, old-style logbook, original instruction manual and copiesof related articles, this beautiful Zagato-bodied 406 represents anexciting opportunity to acquire one of the rarest of Bristol motor cars,boasting continuous history from new.£120,000 - 150,000€150,000 - 190,000Motor Cars | 279


366In current ownership for 39 years1953 Jaguar XK120 Drophead CoupéRegistration no. to be advisedChassis no. 667082Engine no. KE 8560-8‘We claimed 120 mph (for the XK 120), a speed unheard of for aproduction car in those days’ - William Heynes, Chief Engineer,Jaguar Cars.Conceived and constructed in but a few months, the XK120 debutedat the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show where the stunning-lookingroadster caused a sensation, the resulting demand for what wasthen the world’s fastest production car taking Jaguar by surprise.With orders rolling in apace, Jaguar had no choice but to think againabout the XK120’s method of construction. The work of Jaguar bossWilliam Lyons himself and one of the most beautiful shapes ever tograce a motor car, the body had been conceived as a coachbuilt,aluminium panelled structure for the simple reason that Jaguarexpected to sell no more than 200 XK120s in the first year!In conjunction with the Pressed Steel Fisher Company a new all-steelpanelled body was developed, which retained the fabulous looksof the coachbuilt original while differing in minor external details.Beneath the skin the steel car was entirely different and it would takesome 20 months of development before manufacture could begin.The XK120’s heart was, of course, the fabulous XK engine, whichhad been developed during the war and was intended for Jaguar’sforthcoming Mark VII saloon. A 3.4-litre ‘six’ embodying the best ofmodern design, it boasted twin overhead camshafts running in analuminium-alloy cylinder head, seven main bearings and a maximumoutput of 160bhp.280 | Goodwood festival of speed


It went into a chassis that was essentially a shortened version ofthe simultaneously announced Mark V saloon’s, featuring WilliamHeynes’ torsion bar independent front suspension. Jaguar lost notime in demonstrating that the XK120’s claimed top speed was noidle boast. In May 1949, on the Jabbeke to Aeltre autoroute, anexample with its hood and side screens in place recorded a speed of126mph and 132mph with the hood and windscreen detached andan under-tray fitted.The XK120 set new standards of comfort, roadholding andperformance for British sports cars and, in keeping with the Jaguartradition, there was nothing to touch it at the price. Coupé anddrophead coupé versions followed, and for customers who foundthe standard car too slow, there was the Special Equipment (SE)package which boosted power to 180bhp.With either engine and regardless of the type of bodywork, the XK120was a genuine 120mph car capable of sustained high-speed cruising.The XK120 was produced until 1954 and would prove to be themost popular of the XK series, with 12,078 examples built, ofwhich only 294 were right-hand drive dropheads like that offeredhere. Introduced in 1953, late in the XK120 production run, thedrophead coupé is considered by many enthusiasts to be best ofthe breed, retaining the original open roadster’s lines while boastingmuch greater practicality and refinement courtesy of its wind-upwindows, opening quarter lights, heater, improved ventilation and apermanently attached lined Mohair hood, all of which had been firstappeared on the fixed head coupé in 1951.This XK120 drophead coupé was purchased by the current owner inDecember 1975. Nothing is known of its prior history. Works carriedout since acquisition include rewiring the electrics forward of thebulkhead in the late 1970s and a ‘body off’ restoration undertakencirca 2000/2001. The latter involved removing and repairing all bodypanels; minor patching to the chassis; a compete interior re-trim inred Bridge of Weir leather; and a new hood. In 2013 the car wastreated to a new clutch, all new brake hydraulics, an engine flush andnew core plugs. Rear wheel spats, air horns, copper brake pipes,two 12-volt batteries and negative earth electrics are the only notifieddeviations from factory specification.

This historically important Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA comes withItalian issued FIA Historic Technical Passport (Class CT 8, Period: F)and a substantial quantity of in-period and subsequent historic racinghistory. The accompanying information sheet (issued 1988) from theCentro Documentazione Alfa Romeo confirms the build date as 4thJune 1965 and the date of sale to the first owner as 15th June thatsame year. The first owner is listed as Scagliola Michelino of Turin.No time was wasted and the car was entered in its first race on 20thJune 1965 at the Garessio - Colle San Bernardo, where it finished2nd in class in the over-1,300cc GT category, driven by Angelo Corio.He drove the car in a further four races in 1965 and the following yearentered ‘613018’ in no fewer than 11 events. Among the noteworthyresults are 1st in class finishes in the Castel’Arquato - Vernasca hillclimb, the Garesso - San Bernardo and the Course de Cote du StCesaire. The car continued to be campaigned successfully every yearuntil 1971 and even in that year was still competitive enough to finish2nd in class twice.In 1988 the Alfa was acquired by the well known official Alfa RomeoClub for historic racing, ‘Scuderia del Portello’ and embarked on anequally successful second career, commencing with a participationin that year’s Historic Targa Florio, while in 1989 Marco Cajani drovethe GTA to a very respectable 3rd in class (up to 1,600 cc) in TheOldtimer Grand Prix at the Nürburgring.

‘It’s a hard muscled thoroughbred, the Daytona - easily the mostawesome and yet disciplined road-going Ferrari in that firm’s brilliantquarter century of existence. The Daytona isn’t fast – it’s blinding. Itwill eat up a quarter-mile of asphalt in 13.2 seconds at 110mph andscream out to 175mph - or it will slug through traffic at 1,500rpmwith the Sunday manners of a FIAT. It is the perfect extension ofits driver. You can cut and weave through shuffling traffic with theagility of a halfback, or lope down the freeway with the piece ofmind that comes from knowing you can contend with anyone’sincompetence. To say, after you’ve driven it, that the Daytona isdesirable doesn’t begin to sum up your feelings - you would sellyour soul for it.’ - Car & Driver, January 1970.Every Ferrari is, to a greater or lesser extent, a ‘landmark’ car, butfew of Maranello’s road models have captured the imagination ofFerraristi like the 365GTB/4; the ‘Daytona’ name was unofficial,bestowed by the press in honour of Ferrari’s crushing victory at thatcircuit’s 24-Hour Race in 1967. Responding to the challenge fromLamborghini, Ferrari had introduced its first road-car V12 enginewith four overhead camshafts on the preceding 275GTB/4 and thissuperior type of valve gear was retained for the Daytona.The latter’s engine though, was considerably enlarged, displacing4.4 as opposed to 3.3 litres, in part to compensate for theDaytona’s increased weight but more importantly to guaranteeMiura-beating performance; its 352bhp and 318lb/ft of torqueensuring that these targets were met. Dry-sump lubrication enabledthe engine to be installed low in the multi-tubular chassis, whichfeatured all-independent wishbone and coil-spring suspensionfirst seen in the 275GTB, while a five-speed rear transaxle enabled50/50 front/rear weight distribution to be achieved.One of Pininfarina’s countless masterpieces, the influential sharknosedbody style combined muscularity and elegance in equalmeasure. An unusual feature of early Daytonas was a full-widthtransparent Plexiglas panel covering the headlamps, replaced byelectrically operated pop-up lights towards the end of 1970. At thetime of its introduction in 1968 the Daytona was the most expensiveproduction Ferrari ever and, with a top speed in excess of 170mphwas also the world’s fastest production car. Deliveries commencedin the second half of 1969 and the Daytona would be manufacturedfor just four years; not until the arrival of the 456GT in 1992 wouldFerrari build anything like it again.Motor Cars | 285

Today, some 40 years after the last Daytona left the factory atMaranello, most have passed through the hands of several owners.This car however, which has covered only 84,299 kilometres(approximately 52,300 miles) from new, is one of the very few thatis still with its original owner. Completed to European specificationon 12th December 1973, chassis number ‘17607’ is a very lateexample, being the fifth from last produced. It was, and still is,finished in the unusual colour scheme of black (Nero) with red(Rosso) leather interior, playfully reversing the exterior/interiorcombination applied to so many Daytonas. Air conditioning wasfitted at the factory.The Daytona was delivered in Switzerland via the official Ferrariimporter SAVAF (Société Anonyme pour la Vente des AutomobilesFerrari) and sold to the current vendor early in 1974. Around 1976the owner decided that for once he wasn’t going to send his Ferrarito the official importer Auto Becker in Düsseldorf but entrusted amajor service to his local Mercedes garage which dealt with hiscompany cars.This would turn out to be a fatal error as following a wrongadjustment in the timing chains the engine suffered severe damageand the car would subsequently receive a replacement unit. A fewyears later and obviously still in the same ownership, the gearboxtoo was replaced. In 2010 the car was sent to the Ferrari/FerrariClassiche accredited firm of Eberlein Automobile GmbH in Kassel,Germany for extensive refurbishment, which is detailed in their8-page invoice on file for €44,329.It has been used little since and remains in commensurately excellentcondition. Offered with the aforementioned invoice, Massini Report,an article in the German Ferrari owner’s magazine and Germanregistration papers, ‘17607’ represents a wonderful opportunity toacquire one of the fast-diminishing stock of one-owner Daytonas,little used since recommissioning by a factory-accredited specialist.£240,000 - 320,000€290,000 - 390,000Motor Cars | 287

‘The 911 is the best Porsche ever – all the vices of the old suspensionhave been eliminate, and the modern offbeat styling should have amuch broader appeal than the old bathtub shape. The overhead-cam,air-cooled flat 6-cylinder engine, the 5-speed all-synchro transmission,and the 4-wheel disc brakes are irresistible to anybody who ever felt aflicker of desire for any Porsche in the past.’ – Car & Driver.Porsche’s long-running and much loved 911 sports car first appearedat the 1963 Frankfurt Show as the ‘901’, but shortly after productionproper commenced in 1964 had become the ‘911’ following Peugeot’scomplaints about the use of ‘0’ model numbers. The preceding Type356’s rear-engined layout was retained but the 911 switched to unitaryconstruction for the bodyshell and dropped the 356’s VW-basedsuspension in favour of a more modern McPherson strut and trailingarm arrangement.In its first incarnation, Porsche’s single-overhead-camshaft, air-cooledflat six engine displaced 1,991cc and produced 130bhp; progressivelyenlarged and developed, it would eventually grow to more than 3.0litres and, in turbo-charged form, put out well over 300 horsepower.The first of countless upgrades to the perennial 911 came in 1966,two years after production had commenced, with the introduction ofthe 911S. Easily distinguishable by its stylish Fuchs five-spoked alloywheels, the ‘S’ featured a heavily revised engine producing 160bhp. In1967 the 911T (Touring) was introduced as a new base model, initiallywith the 2.0-litre engine in 110bhp form before gaining the 2.2-litreunit along with the rest of the range in 1969, by which time the 911’swheelbase had been extended by 57mm to tame the sometimeswayward handling.Such was the 911’s success that within a few years Porsche wasselling cars faster than it could build them, a state of affairs that led toa substantial proportion being manufactured by coachbuilder Karmannat its Osnabrück factory. Sold new in the USA, this left-hand drive911T is a ‘B-programme’ car built on the longer wheelbase and hasthe desirable five-speed manual gearbox. It retains matching numbersand is finished in its original colour scheme, as confirmed by theaccompanying Porsche certificate of authenticity.‘NNB 69G’ benefits from a no-expense-spared ‘bare shell’ restorationundertaken between 2011 and 2014 by Lee Peacock (formerlywith Autoclassica), the renowned Porsche 356 and 911 bodyworkrestorer.

‘If you want a truly British driver’s car, the ultimate development of acontinuous line of thoroughbreds from the Vintage era to the presentday, there is nothing in quite the same field as the Aston.’ – TheMotor on the Aston Martin DB6, 26th November 1966.Last-of-the-line models are always sought after by discerningcollectors and few are more highly prized that the final flowering ofthe glorious ‘David Brown’ six-cylinder series, considered by manyto the last of the ‘real’ Aston Martins. Culmination of this longrunningline of ‘DB’ sports saloons, the DB6 was introduced in 1965.Recognisably related to the Touring-styled DB4 of 1958, the DB6abandoned the Superleggera body structure of its predecessors infavour of a conventional steel fabrication. The wheelbase was now 4”longer than before, resulting in an extensive restyle with more-rakedwindscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows.Opening front quarter lights made a reappearance but the majorchange was at the rear where a Kamm-style tail with spoiler improvedthe aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds.‘The tail lip halves the aerodynamic lift around maximum speedand brings in its train greater headroom and more luggage space,’revealed Motor magazine, concluding that the DB6 was one of thefinest sports cars it had tested.‘The DB6 with its longer wheelbase and better headroom makes anAston Martin available to the far wider four-seater market, and thedesign is in every way superior to the previous model. A purist mighthave though that the longer wheelbase would affect the near-perfectbalance of the DB5, but if anything the DB6 is better.’The Tadek Marek-designed six-cylinder engine had been enlargedto 3,995cc for the preceding DB5, and remained unchanged. Poweroutput on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp inVantage specification. Borg-Warner automatic transmission wasoffered alongside the standard ZF five-speed manual gearbox, andfor the first time there was optional power-assisted steering.Its accompanying copy guarantee form shows that this DB6 wasfitted from new with the following non-standard equipment: Borg-Warner automatic transmission, power-assisted steering, chromedwheels, 3-ear hubcaps, heated rear screen, power-operated aerialand front seat belts. Unusually, there is no mention of either colourscheme or first owner.

W O Bentley proudly debuted the new 3-litre car bearing his nameon Stand 126 at the 1919 Olympia Motor Exhibition, the prototypeengine having fired up for the first time just a few weeks earlier.In only mildly developed form, this was the model which was tobecome a legend in motor racing history and which, with its leatherstrappedbonnet, classical radiator design and British Racing Greenlivery has become the archetypal vintage sports car.Early success in the 1922 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, when Bentleysfinished second, fourth and fifth to take the Team Prize, led to theintroduction of the TT Replica (later known as the Speed Model).However, by the middle of the decade the 3-Litre’s competitivenesswas on the wane and this, together with the fact that too manycustomers had been tempted to fit unsuitably heavy coachwork tothe excellent 3-Litre chassis rather than accept the expense andcomplexity of Bentley’s 6½-litre ‘Silent Six’, led to the introductionof the ‘4½’.The new 4½-Litre model effectively employed the chassis,transmission and brakes of the 3-Litre, combined with an enginethat was in essence two-thirds of the six-cylinder 6½-litre unit. Thusthe new four-cylinder motor retained the six’s 100x140mm bore/stroke and Bentley’s familiar four-valves-per-cylinder fixed-’headarchitecture, but reverted to the front-end vertical camshaft driveof the 3-Litre. Bentley Motors lost no time in race-proving its newcar. It is believed that the first prototype engine went into the 3-Litrechassis of the 1927 Le Mans practice car.Subsequently this same engine was fitted to the first production4½-Litre chassis for that year’s Grand Prix d’Endurance at the Sarthecircuit. The original 4½-Litre car, nicknamed by the team ‘Old MotherGun’ and driven by Frank Clement and Leslie Callingham, promptlyset the fastest race lap of 73.41mph before being eliminated in theinfamous ‘White House Crash’ multiple pile-up.1Motor Cars | 293


The 4½-Litre was produced for four years, all but nine of the665 cars made being built on the 3-Litre’s ‘Long Standard’, 10’10”-wheelbase chassis. Purchasers of the 4½-Litre model were, incommon with those of all vintage-period Bentleys, free to specifytheir preferences from a very considerable range of mechanicaland electrical equipment, in addition to whatever body style andcoachbuilder might be required.The 4½-Litre offered here - chassis number ‘XT3635’ – wasmanufactured in February 1931 and is the third from last of its typeproduced. It was originally bodied by Gurney Nutting as a saloon andwas first registered ‘KF 3740’. The first owner was one G D A Clover.In his autobiography ‘All in Good Time: Reflections of aWatchmaker’, master horologist and dyed-in-the-wool motoringenthusiast the late George Daniels recalled the circumstances of hispurchase of ‘XT3635’ in 1960. ‘The body, very fashionable in 1930was so heavy as to ruin the performance, roadholding and brakes.Its interest to me lay in the chassis, engine and gearbox whichbeing of late manufacture (1930) were stronger and more suitablefor competitive events. It was used as a closed car in the wintersof 1960 and 1961 and then, because the body was rotting away, Idismantled it and began rebuilding.’2 and 3George Daniels competing in ‘XT3635’ at Silverstone, noteGeorge has yet to upgrade the car to Supercharged specification2 3© David Newman294 | Goodwood festival of speed

As George’s aim was to recreate the appearance of the shortchassisLe Mans team car ‘UU 5872’, known as ‘Birkin BlowerNo.2’, the restoration involved shortening the chassis and having aVanden Plas replica body constructed. In addition, the engine wastuned for greater power. The modified Bentley was used extensivelyfor races, rallies and hill climbs, as well as trips to Paris and thewatch-making areas of Switzerland.After 30 years of trouble-free use, it was dismantled once again in1994 for repainting and further upgrades. George again: ‘Becausethe body had been rebuilt in 1962 as a replica short chassis BirkinLe Mans car I decided to complete the replica with superchargerand appropriate alterations to the chassis mudguards and fuel tank.The work was completed with the correct form of dashboard andinstruments all made for authenticity of appearance.’George also replaced the original C-type gearbox with the moredesirable D-type competition ‘box.

372The property of Ron Moody1961 Bentley Continental Drophead CoupéCoachwork by Park Ward LtdRegistration no. 301 HYTChassis no. BC6CZEngine no. C6BCDescribed by The Autocar as, ‘A new stage in the evolution of thepost-war Bentley,’ the magnificent Continental sports saloon has beensynonymous with effortless high speed cruising in the grand mannersince its introduction on the R-Type chassis in 1952. With the arrival in1955 of the final generation of six-cylinder cars, the all-new Silver Cloudand Bentley S-Type, the Continental lost some of its individuality butnone of its exclusivity.Dependable though it had proved, Rolls-Royce’s six-cylinder engine wasnearing the end of its development. At the same time the company wasfacing increased competition from faster rivals in the vital United Statesmarket, and it was, principally, these two factors that prompted theswitch to V8 power as the 1960s approached.Ron Moody as Fagin in the 1967 film musical ‘Oliver!’298 | Goodwood festival of speed


Introduced in the autumn of 1959, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II andBentley S2 appeared externally unchanged from their Silver Cloud andS-Type predecessors, though their performance was considerablyenhanced by the new 6,230cc aluminium-alloy engine. ‘The BentleyS2, with its sister Rolls-Royce models, gives high-speed travel insilence and luxury, while the driver and passengers enjoy the senseof well being that only British craftsmanship can give. The V8 engine,with its flashing acceleration, certainly contributes to the result and isa definite step forward in Rolls-Royce technique,’ enthused Autosport.There were few significant changes to the running gear, though powerassistedsteering was now standard and the manual gearbox hadbeen dropped, Rolls-Royce’s own four-speed automatic transmissionbeing the sole offering.The Continental version of the Bentley remained, as ever, exclusively acoachbuilt car. The firms of H J Mulliner, Park Ward, James Young andHooper (with a solitary example) all offered bodies on the ContinentalS2 chassis, which differed from the standard version by virtue of itsfour-leading-shoe front brakes, shorter radiator and, up to chassisnumber ‘BC99BY’, higher gearing. Of these four, James Young andHooper would soon cease coachbuilding, leaving only Mulliner andPark Ward to carry on a noble tradition.This S2 Continental is offered for sale by actor and Bentley Drivers’Club member Ron Moody, who is best known for his Academy Awardnominatedperformance as Fagin in the 1967 film musical ‘Oliver!’Although he did not win the Oscar, Ron nevertheless received severalinternational ‘best actor’ awards including the Hollywood Golden Globe,Variety Club Film Award, Premier San Jurge and Moscow Golden Bear.Ron Moody has enjoyed an extraordinarily varied and successfulstage, screen and television career on both sides of the Atlantic. Nowaged 90, he is a member of the American Academy of Motion PictureArts and Sciences and in 1984 won the World Theatre Award forthe most outstanding Broadway debut, for yet another production of‘Oliver!’ He has also written and composed five musicals and is theauthor of three novels.The car offered here, ‘BC6CZ’, is an early example of Park Ward’sinfluential ‘straight through wing’ body style. It was ordered by aMr Giulio Trapani of Maidenhead, Berkshire and by mid-1966 was inthe hands of its fifth owner. Ron Moody purchased the Bentley viaH R Owen in March 1968 (bill of sale on file). The Continental waslooked after by Rolls-Royce during its early life with Ron and then byHadley Green Garage. After an accident in the late 1970s the car wasextensively restored (estimates and bills on file) and in more recenttimes has been maintained by T&H Motors of Barnet, Hertfordshire.In the last 20 years ‘301 HYT’ has covered only 2,300 miles, asevidenced by numerous MoT certificates dating back to 1972.

Here we offer one of the most extraordinary 1930s-origin Mercedes-Benz high-performance quality cars that we haveever beencommissioned to present. It began life in 1938 as one of the renownedGerman company's most exotic and highest-quality models – a 540Kwith Sindelfingen Cabriolet B coachwork bought new as prestige VIPtransport for the original Volkswagenwerke 'VW Beetle' programme. Itwas then, in 1942-43, requisitioned as one of only twenty such 540Ksrequisitioned for the Third Reich's emergency Aktion P VIP armouredsaloon car programme – under which it was issued not to any onehigh-ranking individual personality, but instead to the ReichskanzellerieBerlin Motor Pool for use by all. After surviving the war – today as oneof only three known Aktion Ps to have done so – it went on to have anextremely positive effect upon at least one young life, and in part itsextraordinary story reads like the basis of a Hollywood movie script. Thecar is offered here in its surviving extensively dismantled and unrestored– yet largely complete – state, bearing the patina and evidence of morethan a half century of 'barn-find' storage.Until 1942 the progress of the Second World War in Europe had beenin favour of Hitler's Third Reich. Thereafter the flow reversed in favourof the Allied democracies as the combined forces of Great Britain, theUnited States and the USSR began to wield their combined capability interms of men, manufacturing capacity, money and will.The Mercedes-Benz 540K Aktion P programme was triggered by theassassination – on May 27,1942 – of SS-Obergruppenfuhrer ReinhardHeydrich, fatally injured by anattacker's hand grenade while riding aspassenger in an open staff car upon the streets of Prague. Hitler wasboth devastated by the loss of a man he regarded as an increasinglyimportant, plainly like-minded executive officer, and enraged by thecareless manner in which he had made himself so vulnerable to partisanattack, by riding in a conspicuous car which was not only wide open,but also unescorted.According to the contemporary report of the Fuhrer's Secretary,Martin Bormann, Hitler immediately ordered that a new fleet of highperformancearmoured vehicles should be provided to protect "...themost important political personalities". This was the foundation of whatswung into action as the Aktion P programme, the 'P' initial standing for'Panzer' – armour.Bormann pushed through Aktion P, ordering Daimler-Benz – which, ofcourse,had becomea major military vehicle and engine manufacturersupplying the NSDAP German Government – to build ten of its 770 W150 model four-passenger armoured saloons, eleven more 770 W 150seven/eight-passenger convertible saloons and two four/five passengersaloons. All were to be protected with armour plate and armouredwindow glass.Motor Cars | 301


In the summer of 1942, when Aktion P was first promulgated, Daimler-Benz was unable to provide the twenty 540K rolling chassis or complete(which in effect meant requisitioned) cars ready for conversion. Thecompany instead had only two suitable rolling chassis available. It wasat this point that the Army was ordered to intervene by requisitioning 18more pre-existing 540Ks for conversion into the required form, to wearnewly-designed closed bodywork incorporating full armour protection.This group of suitably powerful and commodious cars was gatheredtogether and consigned to the Daimler-Benz company repair sectionwithin the Stuttgart-Unterturkheim factory complex, where the originalcoachbuilt bodies were removed, the discarded bodies and associatedcomponentry all being returned to the main motor pool in Bad Canstatt,just outside Stuttgart.Meanwhile, in the Daimler-Benz Karosseriewerk body plant atSindelfingen, the required batch of twentyhastily-designed armouredbodies were being fabricated ready for installation upon the assignedrolling chassis. They had in turn been carefully inspected and, wherenecessary, mechanically overhauled before being prepared to accept theredesigned – and inevitably heavy – new closed body units.These were skinned in an external aluminium shell, sheathing 2.3mmthick steel 'armour' plating. The outer aluminium shell had beenspecified to minimize overall weight, compensating for the massiveincrease in underlying steel armour. However, some authorities alsoconsider that the aluminium outer skin was specified not only to saveweight but also to protect against attack by magnetic 'sticky bombs' oranti-armour mines. The cars' running boards were also suppressed bycurved-outward door skirts to prevent an attacking assassin gaining afoothold upon them.A Daimler-Benz design drawing dated July 20, 1942, reveals concernfor additional protection which was provided by double-thicknesssteel plating being applied to the floor, firewall bulkhead and the backof the right-rear seat in which a VIP passenger was most likely to beaccommodated. Car '377'offered here in fact features has full reararmour across its entire width and sides, not just th right side. Perhapsthis was a later development as it is body No19 of the 20 sister AktionPs built? Its lower door sections also have the 2.3mm armour plateincorporated as part of the window-winding assembly. Including theoverall outer bodyshelland under-floor sheathing this effectively tripledprotection against any attack– including by mine.Furthermore, armoured windows and screens were adopted, comprisingno fewer than five laminations of bullet-proof security glass, totaling30mm in thickness and 35mm for the windscreen itself. A recordsurvives which cites the Aktion P armoured Mercedes-Benz (presumablya 540K) provided to propaganda Minister Josef Goebbels as featuring8mm armour protection, an advance from the 'standard' doublethicknessof 'only' 4.6mm. Perhaps he was only a small target butconsidered himself valuable.The re-assembled closed cars were then returned to the Unterturkheimplant were they were given what was effectively a pre-deliveryinspection. A technical board checked the work before the cars weresigned-off and loaded onto rail cars for delivery to the capital, Berlin, fordistribution to each individual vehicle's Government-assigned end users.302 | Goodwood festival of speed


As early as September, 1942, the German Army had live-fire tested (withbullets, not explosive projectiles) a 540K Aktion P pilot-build prototypeat Boblingen, just southwest of Stuttgart. Detailing the programmein 'Automobile Quarterly' – Volume 28 No 1–model authority LudwigKosche related how "...no documents have been found pertaining tothis particular Mercedes, which seems to have been built in addition tothe 20 ordered at the behest of Hitler. The photographs taken on thisoccasion suggest that only small arms were tested against the armourplating. Since all of the 20 armoured 540Ks were released and shipped,it would follow that the armoured design was deemed to providesufficient protection to ensure...safety...".These Aktion P Mercedes-Benz 540K variants received no enginemodification.It is believed that some were delivered with the standard4-speed gearbox, while at least one – '377' offered here - had a special5-speed gearbox to improve its performance. This gearbox is missing,but speedometer markings indicate delivery with the 5-speed installed.This may again have been a change made for the late productioncars?The increase in unladen weight was from around 5,700 (standardcoachwork) to 6,500lbs (armoured Aktion P-specification). The twentyarmoured 540Ks released for VIP protection included '377' as the 19thbuilt. Body numbers ran from '863601' to '863620' and this example'sbody is serial '863619'. It has '19' written on many parts as well as theupholstery, proving it was the 19th of the 20 built. They were distributedas follows:1 – Chassis/Engine serial 408 427 – Dr J.

In its originalguise as a 540K Cabriolet B - initial 1938 order number '285059' - itwas delivered that year (extraordinarily) to the Volkswagenwerkeheadquarters in Berlin-Grünewald.Motor Cars | 303


The Volkswagen ('People's car') or Kdf-Wagen was an affordablevehicle for the German working man, part of the energetic 'motorisation'programme widely promoted within the New Germany since 1933. Whatwas known by the initials KdF, indicating Kraft durch Freude ("StrengthThrough Joy"),was an immensestate-controlled leisure organization, partof the Deutsche Arbeitsfront, which was the national German labourorganization at that time. It had been set-up to promote the advantagesof NSDAP National Socialism to the people.The foundation stone for the new motor town developed to build'The People's Car' was laid on May 26, 1938, as the Stadt des KdF-WagensbeiFallersleben, a planned town centred around the village ofFallersleben, built to house workers of the new Volkswagen factories.At the time KdF-Stadt had become the absolute focus of Germanautomotive industry attention as it washome to the newly-instituted'People's Car' factory. Adolf Hitler, himself, presided over the stonelayingceremony, with some 70,000 spectators looking on. The finalthree VW prototypes were displayed, and the first VW convertible wasshown to the Fuhrer. The first date on '377's original Commission sheetis May 24/25, 1938 – immediately before this prestigious ceremony.It appears therefore that the KdF project'sthree top executives (ProfDr Ferdinand Porsche, JakobWerlin andBodoLaffrentz) ordered thecar immediately before Hitler's public blessing of what became theVolkswagenwerke.This car was delivered new in its original Cabriolet B 540Kconfiguration to the Volkswagenwerke HQ at Berlin-Grünewald,Tauberstrasse 4, on June 3,1939. One month later, on July 7, 1939,Hitler was given a riding tour inside the new factory halls in 'an openbodied Mercedes-Benz' - possibly the newly-delivered car embodyingchassis '377' now offered here.After conversion it is evident that '377' was issued not to any individualamongst the Third Reich prominenten – avoiding in some measurethe potential stigma or vilification of such association with what iswidely regarded today as historic criminality. Documents show thenewly re-bodied Aktion P '408377' was registered on January 28,1943, and delivered to the 'Adjutantur d. Führers, Berlin' next day. TheReichskanzellerie Berlin Motor Pool cars would of course have beendeployed on many disparate assignments, to carry in protected mannerany luminary of significant stature.Perhaps inevitably, the progress of the Second World War from 1942-45resulted in the collapse of the Third Reich and Germany's unconditionalsurrender, with the Berlin Motor Pool site and any surviving vehiclesabsorbed by occupying Soviet forces. According to the testimony ofHitler's chauffeur, Erich Kempke, in the early morning hours of April 24,1945, Russian shelling destroyed some 60 vehicles within the Motor Pool.Somehow, perhaps it was absent in use at that moment, '377' survived.To further Soviet automotive research and development – and to feedan understandable appetite for trophy-taking –many hundreds, perhapsthousands, of high-quality and interesting German motor vehicles werecarried off by the Russians, to technical institutes, factories, researchcentres, Ministries and Party factions within the USSR and its newlyconqueredsatellite nations. A photograph does survived showing thisarmoured 540K with a Russian Army registration plate. Its left-sideheadlamp lens is clearly cracked. When the car now offered here was firstacquired by its subsequent Estonian owner, its left-side headlamp lensdisplayed the self-same crack. That same distinctive damage survives tothis day...Some 47 years later, in 1992, an inquisitive westerner visiting the Balticstate of Estonia fell into conversation with some locals about interestingold cars. He was told of one which had been storedfor many years, indismantled condition, on a nearby farm. This Aktion P Mercedes-Benz540K '377' is that car.1 23304 | Goodwood festival of speed


At one point during its long life in the Baltics the car was ear-marked forconversion into a tractor substitute. Its original engine was at anotherstage exchanged with that of a half-sister500K surviving in Tallinn,whose engine had failed. That special one-off roadster survives today inthe US and '377' currently carries original engine No '102.84.105351'from it. To make '377' mobile short-term, a Volvo engine was installedwhile the damaged sister 540K power unit joined the aggregation ofparts stored in the barns.The full story of its 1990s rediscovery and extraction from Estoniawas related in great detail, if with rather confusing use of intentionallymisleading information, in the October 1996 issue of the leadingAmerican magazine 'Car & Driver'. In essence the car's presentvendor, a leading figure in that considerable drama, summarises thestory as follows:"The old Soviet Union had been dissolved by the end of 1991, and theBaltic States of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia had become independent.It was then that we made five trips to Russia, primarily St Petersburgand Moscow, looking for any interesting pieces to acquire. We finallyheard of this car in Estonia, and eventually we were taken to see it by acouple of local guys who knew of its existence. We were taken way outinto a rural region where we wound up outside a couple of stone barns."There was nobody around, only a dog barking a warning. Our guidestold us it was OK to look and the first barn was just full of scrap metaljunk, cycle frames, all sorts, and we didn't find any car there. I finallyclimbed over a stack of debris about five feet high and finally saw the topof an old car body. That was the 540K's."I managed to burrow down and I was actually the first to sit inside it,probably for many years. I could see the armour plate exposed inside.We found the chassis frame leaning against a barn wall and found theserial number on it."Eventually the owner came and we told him we were interested inbuying – but he explained he had no desire to sell it because he had 'noreal use for money'. He was content with the way he lived, and whatgood would mere money do him? A few weeks later we returned on asecond visit, and a relationship started to develop with him. We foundhe had a young daughter who was learning to speak English at her localschool. I then suggested that while he wasn't interested in selling hisinteresting car for money, might funding his daughter's further educationat an international school in the United States be more attractive?"We spent a week discussing various propositions, and this onebegan to appeal to him as a way of improving his only daughter's lifeprospects. I had a cell phone with me, one of those early ones the sizeof a housebrick, and managed to get a call through to a lady friend athome who began researching American language schools for us. Shechecked out the visa requirements and all the logistics and was able toconfirm it would be possible."I rigged that cell-phone to a printer out in the open on the farmlandgrass and unbelievably got an application form faxed to us right there.We filled it in with father and daughter, and before that week was outthe American school had confirmed she had a place. We talked overthe arrangement until 3 or 4 in the morning, her parents believed therewas little future for their daughter at home compared to what she couldachieve after an American education – and so, in return for our acquiringall the parts of the dismantled 540K, agreement was reached which didnot involve any direct payment to the farmer.41In Estonia with the previous owner Hendrek Kukk, thisimages was taken in the 1970’s, Kukk owned the car from1972 until selling it to the current owner in 1992.2This image was likely taken during the 1970s.

"After getting the daughter accepted for school in the US, we cancelledour morning flight from Tallinn and immediately began the several-dayprocess of collecting and packing the parts that the owner for the past17 years had fastidiously dismantled and dispersed among six differentbarns. He had been well aware that some factions of the Russian mafiahad learned of the valuable piece being stored somewhere in Estoniaand dismantling and dispersal seemed to best way to protect the carfrom theft and/or total destruction at the hands of others."We chartered two planes to come from Helsinki, Finland, and on afoggy night we pulled together a convoy of vehicles, loaded them withall the 540K's bits, and set off for the airport. We regarded everybody asa potential threat. We believed the police were probably corrupt. Mostof the parts were loaded onto an open 18-wheel flat-bed trailer truck,most of the parts in boxes, the body hidden under a tarp. Our other twovehicles were a British postal van, and a Fiat 500... Then in the foggynight we had breakdowns on the way. Finally we arrived within sightof the airfield, which was a real one-horse affair with just one lightbulbshowing. We sent a scout ahead while we parked nearby. He cameback to say it was OK, so we drove through the gate. It was pitch blackas well as foggy when a searchlight came on directly overhead and weabsolutely froze. But the light just went out. So we crept forward foranother minute or so until a building loomed up out of the gloom and ouraircraft were standing there – a Twin Otter and a Guppy freighter."Just as we stopped about a dozen guys appeared. We thought wewere toast. The aircraft had com ahead of schedule with only a sixhourpermit window. They had only an hour left so we had to load upimmediately, and these guys had actually offered to help. We had all theCustoms papers stamped, but our fear had been interference from themuch-discussed mafia. The freighter was way over-loaded. We'd just'guess-timated' the weight and with all that armour plate I'm sure we gotit wrong. It was one huge relief just to get airborne, but an even biggerone when we finally touched down, un-intercepted, in Helsinki, Finland."We then transferred all the parts into a Finnair Boeing 747 Combi,which was quite a performance on its own, and after two hours' sleepwatched the car body being loaded into the Combi's side door. Andthen we were off, across the Atlantic, and home into JFK, New York. Weshipped the bits on to Connecticut, where they have all been stored forthe twenty-on-and-a-half years since – and that's it...".The Estonian owner's daughter took her place in the exclusive Americanboarding school that Autumn. Her parents visited to see her there. Shedid well and graduated successfully in 1995 – this Mercedes-BenzAktion P, conceived amidst infamy, had provided first-rate education anda brighter future.Today this is an immensely rare Mercedes-Benz, and one with anextraordinary story. It offers a new owner the potential of restorationto its original 540K Cabriolet B configuration, with its 1942-43 AktionP armoured bodywork otherwise restored or displayed – or totalpreservation or restoration as existing, as only the world's third (or thirdknown, surviving, Aktion P 540K.

Styled atCarrozzeria Bertone and powered by a 327ci (5.4-litre) ChevroletV8, the four-seat Rivolta employed a steel platform chassis featuringindependent front suspension, De Dion rear axle and disc brakes allround (inboard at the rear), setting the pattern for all Isos that followed.Produced between 1963 and 1974, the ‘standard’ Grifo usedthe small-block Chevrolet V8 in all but its final Ford-poweredincarnation, and even the tamest came with 350bhp, which wasgood for around 160mph.According to their sales records, ‘GL730138D’ was imported by TrojanCars on 5th July 1967 and subsequently invoiced to HW Motors,Walton on Thames, Surrey. The car was white with a black interior.HWM sold the car to Roy Woodford, then of Cobham, Surrey, whowas also the owner of an AC Cobra so clearly a man of impeccabletaste. Woodford later took the Iso with him when he moved to MonteCarlo, probably in the early 1990s, to take up his new role of officialphotographer the Monaco Royal Family. It is understood that it was notused much in Monaco.308 | Goodwood festival of speed


In 2010, the car passed through the hands of two dealers (one inNorthern Europe, the other Godin Banks in the UK) and then was soldto the vendor, only its second private owner, joining his small privatecollection of Italian exotica. The Iso was in un-restored, untouchedcondition when acquired, aside from a colour change to black atsome time. A total restoration ensued, in the course of which variousupgrades were carried out. (It is often said that if an Iso Grifo has notbeen restored then it needs to be). As depicted in the accompanyingphotographs, the car was stripped down to a bare shell and fine mediablasted before being sent to Lawrence Kett’s G&A Fabrications formetalwork repairs. The bodywork was then repainted by Ross PackardPaintwork Ltd of New Milton, Hampshire and the interior completelyre-trimmed by Nick Artusa of Woking, Surrey.Andy Frost of Penn Autos and Red Victor Racing totally rebuilt anddynamometer tested the engine, and also overhauled the Powerglidetwo-speed automatic transmission. Following the car’s completion,this was removed and replaced with a TH350 three-speed upgrade,all done by Frost. AJS Engineering Services overhauled the differential.The electrical system has been fully overhauled, retaining he originalloom, and a high-torque starter motor fitted.The vendor planned to use the car as he has done with all of hiscollection, so an aluminium radiator and an electric fan were installed,while the front brakes were upgraded with new discs and callipers.(The original fan, cowling, radiator and (restored) brake callipers areincluded in the sale). A set of Lamborghini Miura wheels is fittedcurrently. Five correct wire wheels are included in the sale, one ofwhich is new and four of which are shod with new Vredestein tyres.Other parts offered with the car include the original gearbox andtorque converter, the original front numberplate carrier, and the originalbumpers.

The unique car offered here was built in the USA by Fred Davies,an English engineer who had first moved to Canada in the 1950s,ending up working for racing car manufacturer Bill Sadler. He wasinvolved with building the Maserati ‘Birdcage’-like Sadler Mk3sports-racer and the Sadler Formula Junior monopostos. On file is asix-page Sports Cars Illustrated article about the Sadler Mk3, whichincludes a picture of Mr Davies.Fred Davies eventually left Sadler and moved to California, finding aworkshop near Los Angeles in 1961. It was there that he constructeda sports-racer of his own design using a beautifully made tubularspaceframe, aluminium body, Chevrolet V8 engine and Huffakergearbox, the latter being one of very few suitable transmissionsavailable at that time. Ratios could be changed quickly from therear of the Huffaker ‘box, and the car’s rear panel was designedto facilitate this. By the time his car was finished in 1962, Davies’priorities had changed and he never raced it. Using on the roadoccasionally, it was stored until 1975 and then sold to dealer BrianClassic in the UK.Brian Classic sold the Davies to a Dutch collector from whom it waspurchased in 1978 by a Belgian neurologist and gentlemen driver,Pierre Haverland. Unsure of what the car was, he registered it withthe FIA as a Genie, an understandable mistake as the Joe HuffakerbuiltGenie sports-racers do resemble the Davies car.

376The ex-Toyota Team Europe1993 Toyota Celica ST185 Turbo 4WDGroup A Rally CarChassis no. JT164STJ500014894Following the success of the Celica GT4 ST165, the Turbo 4WD ST185would build on its predecessor’s foundations and be the class of the fieldthroughout its three years of service in the World Rally Championship(WRC). It was the car to beat, scoring a hat trick of drivers’ titles forCarlos Sainz, Juha Kankkunen and Didier Auriol respectively. Of equal, ifnot greater, importance to the Japanese manufacturer was the fact thatin 1993 the ST185 delivered Toyota its first ever WRC manufacturer’schampionship, a feat it repeated in 1994.The all-conquering ST185 featured a stiffer bodyshell, improved cooling,an up-rated turbo intake system, X-Trac six-speed transmissionand, most importantly, a suspension package that permitted a widerange of adjustment. They were sometimes headed by other cars onunfavourable surfaces but the ST 185 Celica was, arguably, the bestall-round package.Until its exclusion from the series after 2002, the Safari was the toughestrally on the WRC calendar - a gruelling event on difficult terrain in avariety of conditions, which has always made it a signature event. TheST185 Celica was unbeaten on the Safari as a works entry and scoreda trio of overall victories for Sainz (1992), Kankkunen (1993) and IanDuncan (1994).The example on offer is a Safari-specification works rally car entered bythe Toyota Team Europe (TTE) in the 1993 FIA Kenya Safari Rally anddriven by local hero Ian Duncan with Ian Munro co-driving (as certifiedby Toyota Motorsport GmbH). It was built originally on a works bodyshellnumbered ‘TC554’.1 and 2In action on the 1993 WRC Safari Rally, Kenya3Entire Toyota factory team prior to 1993 Safari Rally.

Displaying the ‘short’ German registration ‘K-AM 50’, Ian Duncan drovethis car to 3rd overall behind team-mates Markku Alen and winner JuhaKankkunen, with Yasuhiro Iwase coming home 4th to make it a famousToyota 1, 2, 3, 4 finish. Duncan is a six-time Kenyan rally champion andwas employed by both Subaru and Toyota to contest the Safari rally asthe local specialist. He won the event overall in 1994 and in 2013 wonthe East African Safari Classic Rally ahead of former World ChampionStig Blomqvist.TTE records show that after the 1993 event, this car was purchasedby another Kenyan rally hero, Jonathan Toroitich (son of former KenyanPresident Daniel arap Moi). Though not confirmed, it seems likely thatthis is the car used by Toroitich on the Safari Rally in 1994, 1996 and1997 (there was no event in 1995) his best result being a 5th overallin 1997. Multiple Uganda rally champion Moses Lumala was alsocompeting in an ST185 Celica in African rally events but in 2001 hecrashed his car beyond repair. An Africa News Service article states thatin June 2001 he purchased an ST185 from Jonathan Toroitich to replaceit, thus explaining this car’s assumed relocation to Uganda.Purchased from Uganda through Omar Mayanja together with otherrally cars and taken to Italy in 2006, it received a professional restorationat rally-car specialists Devos Motorsport in Aalbeke, Belgium, while theengine was professionally rebuilt at great expense by Rallye-Engine.com (Gerd Dicks) in Weeze, Germany during 2010. After completionthe Celica was driven by Armin Schwartz in the 2011 Bettega Memorialdemonstration. Imported into the UK in 2012, it has been regularlyrun but not used in anger. It should be noted that during the course ofits competition life, the bodyshell was substituted for an earlier (1992specification) item with a works number of ‘TC530’.Finished in the livery it sported when driven by Ian Duncan in the 1993Safari Rally, the car presents well and is ‘on the button’. It is an idealentry for a variety of retrospective rally events such as those organisedby Slowly Sideways and Rally Legend, and is ideally suited to therally stage at the Goodwood ‘Festival of Speed’. Representing a rareopportunity to acquire an ex-works rally car with in-period competitionhistory at the highest level, the Celica is offered with its original (number‘3’) Safari Rally fuel funnel, Toyota Certificate of Origin, sundry invoicesand a quantity of original photographic transparencies of the car anddrivers from the 1993 event.

Cabriolets had been manufactured right from the start of Type 356production but the first open Porsche to make a significant impactwas the Speedster, introduced in 1954 following the successfulreception in the USA of a batch of 15 special roadsters. The ReutterbodiedSpeedster was dropped in 1958 and replaced by the morecivilised Convertible D, which differed principally by virtue of its largerwindscreen and winding side windows. Porsche sub-contractedcabriolet body construction to a number of different coachbuildersincluding Drauz of Heilbronn, d’Ieteren of Brussels and its long-timecollaborator and close neighbour, Reutter.By the time the 356B arrived in September 1959, the car had gaineda one-piece rounded windscreen and 15”-diameter wheels, andthe newcomer’s introduction brought with it further styling revisions.The engine, now standardised at 1,600cc, was available in threedifferent stages of tune, the most powerful - apart from the four-camCarrera - being the 90bhp unit of the Super 90. The 356B representssignificant advances in driveability and comfort over earlier 356models, and is a pleasingly quick way to enjoy the traditional Porschevalues of quality, reliability and mechanical robustness.Right-hand drive chassis number ‘153664’ was completedat Karosserie Reutter in 1960 for Alan Clark, the outspokenConservative MP, historian, diarist and motoring enthusiast. Clarktook delivery at his Zermatt, Switzerland home where he was livingwhile writing his first famous book about World War One, ‘TheDonkeys’. He brought the Porsche over to England in May 1962. Theoriginal old-style logbook is on file together with a letter from AlanClark recalling his memories of the car.‘336 JGH’ was later sold to AFN, the UK importer, who have recordsof it in their archives. It is, reputedly, only one of eight right-handexamples of its type in the UK.In 1968 the 356 was purchased by David Carnwath, who had AFNfit a new 1964 356C engine (number ‘716702’). The car had threesubsequent owners prior to its acquisition by Michael Chadwick in1990. He took the car to Peter Nardelli, who fitted side mouldingsand a dashboard clock (both factory options in 1960) togetherwith new 5.5” chromed wheels shod with 185/70 tyres. Peteralso persuaded Michael Chadwick to have the engine fully rebuilt,commenting that Michael’s was one of the best 356s he had driven.A full rebuild of the engine and ancillaries was duly carried in mid-1991 by Chris Mannion & Company to very high standard (seephotographic record on file). At the same time a halogen headlightconversion and a reproduction Nardi steering wheel were fitted.In 1993 a full bare-metal repaint was carried out and the car was thenput into storage until 1996 when it was acquired by the current ownerfrom Peter Nardelli at Tower Bridge Porsche. The car has been keptgaraged since acquisition and is used occasionally, covering no morethan 200-300 miles annually, mostly in the dry summer months. Ithas been regularly serviced, maintained and MoT tested. The vendordescribes the Porsche as in generally very good condition and saysthat it attracts more admiration than any other car he has owned.A superb example of this rare classic, ‘336 JGH’ is offered with theaforementioned logbook and photographs, sundry restoration invoices,MoT to February 2015 and V5C registration document.£70,000 - 80,000€86,000 - 98,000Motor Cars | 315


378 *The ex-Steve Millen1972 Chevron-Ford B20 Racing Single-SeaterChassis no. B20-72-9On May 6, 1972, star driver Peter Gethin won the International PauFormula 2 race in a Chevron B20 similar to the example now offeredhere. That victory marked the elevation of Derek Bennet’s BoltonbasedChevron marque from a popular and tremendously effectivesports-racing car manufacturer to an all-round force within the motorracing marketplace.This particular Chevron B20, which features a fully blue-printedand extremely rare 1790cc Chevron factory Cosworth-Ford FVC4-cylinder racing engine. As driven by Steve Millen the Chevronestablished the marque’s name and stature in open-wheeler racing inAsia and in the New Zealand Tasman series.It is the last B20 to have been sold from the Bolton factory, beingacquired by John Green early in 1973. It was then sold on to theNew Zealand Schollum brothers with Steve Millen driving the carfrom 1974-75. Ian Grey then acquired it, continuing its racing careerthrough 1976-77. Subsequent owners include Dick Ward in WesternAustralia in 1979 and the current owner in 1990.Steve’s success with the car whilst harassing the F5000 cars duringthe 1975 New Zealand Tasman Series and the New Zealand GrandPrix is well documented in the book titled “Millen”(copy on file). Here,the car punched well above its weight with many strong finishes,including 5th at Bay Park and a F2 Class Record at Teretonga –“Whenever there was a twisty bit, we could out-handle and out-brakethe F5000 cars” states Steve Millen.Perhaps though the three podium finishes in Asia representshis greatest success with the car, including that exciting racedocumented in the book titled “Colour and Noise, 40 Years of theMacau Grand Prix” where Steve in second place behind JohnMacdonald suffered a fuel starvation problem on the final lap tofinish third behind Kevin Bartlett. This is the car that launched SteveMillen’s racing career culminating in his wins at Daytona, Sebring andthe class win at Le Mans.316 | Goodwood festival of speed


The car has been fully rstored by Gary Simkin in Sydney, Australia,while the factory Chevron FVC engine was rebuilt by Rodney Gibbsof Superior Automotive in Sydney with support and advice fromone of Australia’s most celebrated engine builders – Peter Molloy.Superior Automotive subsequently professionally-maintained the caralongside their other charges, including Formula 1 Ferraris.Once its complete last nut-and-bolt restoration had been completed,this sparklingly-presented Chevron B20 made its racing return atSydney’s Easter Creek circuit A1 meeting in 2007. The current ownercampaigned the car more widely in Australian events and in January2010 took the car back to New Zealand to compete at HamptonDowns and on the historic NZ GP course at Pukekohe. There thecar won outright in a mixed field of 1970-1990 Super Historics cars,lapping in 62.3 seconds.The FVC engine’s rebuild – which entailed the purchase of a newcylinder head – prevented its installation in the car until the startof 2010, since when it has been raced only six times. This is anoutstanding and significant example of the Chevron B20 – with thecompany’s renowned contemporary build quality very evident inits fabric.1Steve Millen screaming along in ‘72-9’2Ian Grey prepares for the start in ‘72-9’We are advised that it has completed only 11 race meetings sincecompletion of its restoration and it has never been in an accidentsince then (and to the best of the owner’s knowledge nor has it beencrashed during its entire career). “This is an extremely quick car thatis easy to drive and goes where you point it. The Chevron is ready torace and is the most reliable race car I have ever owned,” states thecurrent owner.The car comes with an extensive spares package, including thebody moulds and patterns for the wheels, along with many originalspares and also components replaced during its extensive andcomplete restoration.In addition to this the car is offered with a spare Cosworth 1600cc,fuel Injected BDM engine. Purchased by the current owner in 1998at a cost of $20,000 (Australian )and rebuilt to fuel injected BDMspecification for use in the car. Built around a new unused block,fitted with Lucas fuel injection at a cost $5,000 (Australian), the buildwas completed in 2005. Run at five race meetings between 2007and 2010, being fully maintained during this period. The only reasonit was replaced was due to acquisition of the FVC currently fitted tothe car. According to the vendor it will require checking and tuningfollowing a period in storage but should be an excellent engine.Offered with a dyno sheet dated 2005 showing a power output of190bhp. This engine is sold strictly as viewed.Should the lot remain in the EU, local import taxes of 5% will beapplied to the hammer price.£40,000 - 50,000€49,000 - 62,000112Motor Cars | 317

The certificate of origin for ‘027S’ was issued in November 1949and on 8th May 1950 the chassis frame and bodywork wereinvoiced separately to first owner Francesco Severi of Rome, Italy.Severi was a close friend of the ‘Commendatore’ and would racefor his scuderia on multiple occasions. On 31st May 1950, Severisold the Ferrari to Artisti Tecnici Asfonati (ATA), a company ownedby film director Carlo Ponti with offices in Rome. Later that year, inAugust, ATA sold the car via dealer Mambretti Sonzongi to the thirdowner, amateur racing driver Augusto Caraceni in Rome.Augusto was the son of Domenico Caraceni, founder of theeponymous Rome-based tailors whose clients included HumphreyBogart and Aristotle Onasis. Caraceni obtained an entry for the1951 Mille Miglia for himself and co-driver Franco Meloni (see letterof acknowledgement on file) but it appears that the Ferrari did notmake the start, almost certainly because Caraceni had alreadysold it to the fourth owner, Juan de Iturralde, Marquis of Robledo,another resident of Rome.The accompanying Massini Report lists a further three ownersup to August 1955 when the car was sold to the eighth: GiorgioTeofisco of Milan, Italy, who kept the Ferrari for the next 18 years. InMarch 1973, ‘027S’ was sold to the ninth owner, Luigi RezzonicoPindemonte, Count of Castelbarco, resident in Imbersago, Italy.He was a keen racer in his own right and shared an early racingstable of Maseratis with Count ‘Johnny’ Lurani in voiturette racing.Ten years later, in November 1983, the car was purchased from theCount by the tenth owner Dr. Danilo Pizzo.Restored in 1992, the engine being entrusted to Michelotto and thebodywork to Cognolato, both esteemed marque specialists, ‘027S’was driven in that year’s Mille Miglia by Pizzo and co-driver Racco,and the same pairing shared the Ferrari in the 1997 and 2000events. In May 1997 the car was shown by Pizzo during Ferrari’s50th Anniversary celebrations in Rome and in October 2011 it wasdisplayed on the Registro Touring Internazionale stand during theAuto e Moto D’Epoca event in Padova, Italy. Finished in red withbeige leather interior, the car is offered with a file of restorationbills, ACI papers, FIVA Identity Card (issued 1997), Certificato diProprieta, an Italian tax document and a quantity of photographs.Many Ferraris are historically important but few are of greatersignificance than the Commendatore’s first car built for road use,the Tipo 166 Inter; this superbly presented example warrants keeninterest and the closest inspection.£800,000 - 1,000,000€990,000 - 1,200,000Motor Cars | 323


380 *Formerly the property of Richard Attwood1957 Aston Martin DB2/4 MkII SaloonRegistration no. ULC 432Chassis no. AM300/1211Engine no. VB6J/834/L1The need to widen the appeal of the already-successful DB2 resultedin the launch in October 1953 of the 2+2 DB2/4. Extensive revisionsto the car’s rear end arrangements made room for two occasionalseats and more luggage, the latter being accessed via a hatchbackrear door, one of this now-common feature’s earliest applications.In addition, a raised roofline, one-piece windscreen, larger bumpersand other detail styling changes differentiated the newcomer fromits predecessor. Otherwise, the DB2/4 remained much the same asthe DB2, employing the latter’s rectangular-tube chassis, trailing armindependent front suspension and well-located live rear axle.The W O Bentley-designed, 2.6-litre, six-cylinder, twin-cam powerunit came in tuned (125bhp) Vantage specification as standard forthe 2/4. Despite this, the redesign’s inevitable weight gain was notfully compensated for until the arrival of the 3-litre, 140bhp engine in1954. The car’s top speed was now 118mph, with 60mph reachedin around 11 seconds. David Brown’s acquisition of Tickford Ltd in1953 led to bodywork for the revised MkII model, launched at theLondon Motor Show in October 1955, being manufactured by theNewport Pagnell coachbuilder. While mechanically very little differentfrom its predecessor, the DB2/4 MkII was readily identifiable by itssubtly altered lines, the most significant change being a ¾” increasein roof height that afforded greater headroom.324 | Goodwood festival of speed


Sold new in September 1957 via Brooklands of Bond Street to a MrBemrose, this DB2/4 MkII formerly belonged to Richard Attwood,the ex-Formula 1 driver and Le Mans winner. Born in 1940, Attwoodbegan racing in 1960 driving a Triumph TR3 and was recruited byF1 team BRM following a succession of good results in Formula 2.Somehow, and despite his undoubted talent, the right drive nevermaterialised in F1, and sports car racing became Richard’s mainpriority. He struck up a fruitful relationship with David Piper, sharingthe latter’s Ferraris and securing a number of podium finishes inWorld Sportscar Championship events, and was instrumental indeveloping the Ford GT40. In 1969 he signed for the Porsche factory,usually being paired with fellow Brit Vic Elford, with whom he shareda 908 and then a 917. Driving a 917LH, the pair led for much of the1969 Le Mans 24-Hour Race only to be forced into retirement by agearbox failure with only two hours remaining.The crowning achievement of his career came in 1970 when, teamedwith Hans Hermann in a works 917K, he won the coveted enduranceclassic at La Sarthe. The same driver pairing finished in second placethe following year, again driving a Porsche 917 but this time for JohnWyer, and following a win at the Zeltweg 1,000km Attwood retiredfrom motor sport at the end of the 1971 season. He made a briefreappearance as part of the Aston Martin Nimrod project in 1984 andthen retired from front line racing for good.Today, Richard remains actively involved in historic motor sports andis a frequent visitor to the Goodwood Festival of Speed and otherprestigious events.Richard acquired this DB2/4 in March 1982, by which time it hadalready had some eight owners. Chassis number ‘AM300/1211’ isfitted with engine number ‘VB6J/834/L/1’, the ‘L/1’ suffix denotingthat this is a special series unit equipped with larger valves andhigher lift camshafts, developing 165bhp. The car was also equippedwith a twin exhaust system.The current vendor purchased the DB2/4 when Richard offered itfor sale at Bonhams’ auction at Aston Martin Works Service in May2008 (Lot 339). ‘ULC 432’ had not been run for 30-or-so years priorto sale in 2008 and since acquisition has been converted to left-handdrive and repainted.

This car’s first owner, J Scott-Hepburn, had already enjoyed trialssuccess at the wheel of his MG J2 when he decided to modify‘HS 8860’ for off-road competition. The PB had been delivered viaAndersons Ltd of Newton Mearns in December 1935 and Scott-Hepburn later wrote an article about its transformation into a lightweighttrials car, which was published in The Sports Car (April 1937 edition,copy on file).Perhaps the trials conversion was less successful than he hadhoped, for later in 1937 the MG was sold to the second owner, E CHaesendonck of Chadwell Heath, Essex. Haesendonck and his brotherwere owners of ‘JB 7524’, one of the famous ‘Cream Cracker’ teamcars. Surviving factory records list the servicing and maintenance carriedout for both Scott-Hepburn and Haesendonck, the latter being invoicedfor ‘tuning specially for Brooklands’.A supercharger was fitted for the 1938 season and at Crystal Palaceon 13th August Haesendonck and the PB lined up against a field thatincluded Cyril Hawley’s Alfa Romeo 8C, George Abecassis’ blownAlta 2-Litre, Peter Aitken’s Frazer Nash-BMW, D A Loader’s SS Jaguarand Arthur Dobson’s Riley Six to finish 10th in the Crystal Palace PlateHandicap. Haesendonck followed this promising start with a fine 3rdplace in October and his performances at the South London circuitcontinued to improve, culminating in a 2nd in class (4th overall) finish on1st July 1939.With war approaching, Ernest Haesendonck changed his name toHarewood, it is thought to gain entry into the RAF, and fortunatelyboth he and the MG survived the conflict. The duo was soon backin competitive action, their forceful performance at Blandford Camp,Dorset in 1949 being recorded by MG works driver Dick Jacobs in hisbook, ‘An MG Experience’:‘The starting grid was a two-two-two formation due to the width ofthe road. On the front row with me was John Haesendonck’s brother,Ernest Harewood, in his MG PB and he made a beautiful start leadingthe field for the first lap. We both became involved in a battle for thelead with L Woods driving a Lester MG based on an L-type Magnachassis. We each took the lead several times and it was not until thelast lap when Harewood dropped astern by just a few yards that I wasable to pip Woods to the winning post and in so doing made fastestlap at 68. 65mph.’The PB’s finest hour arrived on 18th June 1953 when it was entered inthe BRDC’s British Empire Trophy Race. Consisting of three heats anda handicap-format final, this event was held on the challenging Douglascircuit in the Isle of Man and attracted a top-class field, pitting the elderlyand seemingly outdated MG against state-of-the-art opposition.The latter included the Jaguar C-Type of Stirling Moss, RegParnell’s Aston Martin DB3S, Hans Reusch’s Ferrari 340, DesmondTitterington’s Allard, Ken Wharton’s Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica, AlanBrown’s Cooper-Bristol and the Cooper-MG of Cliff Davis. Defying theodds and shrugging off a half-litre capacity deficit in the up-to-1500ccheat, ‘HS 8860’ finished 4th out of 14 starters and lined up 3rd on thegrid for the final. Getting a tremendous start, Harewood’s PB lay 2ndby the end of the first lap and stunned all who witnessed it by inheritingthe class and overall leads from Cliff Davis on lap four. Sadly, the MGretired with transmission failure just after half distance but had doneenough to earn itself the nickname of the ‘Beam Axle Bombshell’,bestowed by Autosport.‘HS 8860’ seems to have retired from competition thereafter,reappearing some ten years later in the ownership of Peter Vane.Suspecting that his PB had once been raced, Vane wrote to the MG CarCompany in March 1963 and was told that it had: ‘this vehicle has in itsinitial stages received considerable attention at these Works and at onetime was raced at Brooklands.’ The factory also stated that the enginehad been changed from ‘740 APB’ to ‘2223A 165P’. Taken off the roadin the mid-1960s, the PB was purchased in the early 1970s as a partiallydismantled project by Peter Gregory, the well-known collector of pre-warMGs, who undertook a total rebuild.‘HS 8860’ was sold by Peter Gregory to Kenneth Hawes in 2001 andin May 2003 was acquired from the latter by the current vendor. Sincethen the PB has been raced extensively in historic events throughoutEurope and the UK at venues including Le Mans, Spa-Francorchamps,the Nürburgring, Porto, Cadwell Park, Donington Park, Silverstone, etc.Following a racing accident at Silverstone where the car was barrelrolledthree times, the body had to be scrapped. The car was thenstripped, the chassis crack-tested, the axles rebuilt and a complete newbody made, with inspiration from the Scott-Hepburn creation of 1937.Completed in January 2014, this work was carried out by the renownedFiennes Restorations at a cost of £77,671 and is to concours standard.The interior though, is still spartan and stripped for racing.

3821989 AC Cobra MkIV RoadsterRegistration no. 4948 ACChassis no. SADAK3021JA017272Engine no. 1272Rightly regarded as one of the all-time great classic sports cars, themuscular, fire-breathing Cobra succeeded in capturing the hearts ofenthusiasts like few of its contemporaries. Only 1,000-or-so Cobrasof all types were built between 1962 and 1967, but such was themodel’s enduring popularity that production was resumed in 1982under the auspices of Brooklands-based Autokraft.Convinced that a market existed for an inexpensive sports carcombining European chassis engineering and American V8 power,Le Mans-winning Texan racing driver Carroll Shelby concocted anunlikely alliance between AC Cars and the Ford Motor Company.The former’s Ace provided the simple twin-tube chassis frame- strengthened and supplied with four-wheel disc brakes for theCobra - into which was persuaded one of Ford’s lightweight, smallblockV8s.328 | Goodwood festival of speed


The 260ci (4.2-litre) prototype first ran in January 1962, withproduction commencing later that year. Exclusively for the USAinitially, Cobras - minus engines - were sent from England to befinished off by Shelby in California, and it was not until late in 1963that AC Cars in Thames Ditton got around to building the first fullyfinished European-specification cars.After 75 Cobras had been built with the 260ci engine, the morepowerful 289ci (4.7-litre) unit was standardised in 1963. Rackand-pinionsteering was the major MkII up-date; then in 1965 anew, stronger, coil-suspended MkIII chassis was introduced toaccommodate Ford’s 427ci (7.0-litre) V8 engine. Wider bodywork,extended wheelarch flares and a bigger radiator intake combinedto create the definitive - and much copied - Cobra MkIII look. Only1,000-or-so Cobras of all types were built between 1962 and 1967but such was the model’s enduring popularity that production wasresumed in 1982 under the auspices of Brooklands-based Autokraft.But for Brian Angliss, the Cobra story would have ended in 1967.The Autokraft boss had built up a business restoring Cobras andsupplying parts, and in the early 1980s acquired the rights to the ACname plus a quantity of jigs and tooling from the old Thames Dittonfactory. Keeping the overall style of the MkIII, Autokraft produced theMkIV, which was appropriately updated to meet current legislationand powered by a ‘Federalised’ Ford 5.0-litre V8 engine. Around480 were built before Autokraft folded in 1996, largely due to costsincurred developing its new Ace model.Previous owner Jonathan Stevens purchased this MkIV Cobra fromhistoric sports car specialists Rod Leach’s Nostalgia in March 2004.It was described at that time as a ‘superlative example with a factoryhand-built, 345bhp, Stage 3, SVO 5 litre Holley carburettor engine’.Performance figures of 0-100mph in 10.1 seconds and a top speedof 160mph have been mentioned...Mr Stevens made a number of modifications to the Cobra duringhis ownership. Emulating the original Cobra, alterations were madeto the steering column controls and the dashboard instrumentsand switches. The fuel tank and bodywork were modified toaccept a 3½” diameter locking fuel filler and the car re-sprayed inpearlescent red, the interior being re-trimmed in dark red leather atthe same time and a new tonneau cover made. In addition, a newtinted windscreen was installed and the steering and suspensionupgraded. The substantial history file contains bills for theaforementioned works totalling some £24,000.Since acquisition by the current vendor, ‘4948 AC’ had been resprayedagain and fitted with a rollover bar and bonnet scoop (seebill for £9,538 dated May 2014 on file). Described as in generallyexcellent condition, this potent MkIV Cobra comes with full weatherequipment and is offered with owner’s handbook, a quantity ofexpired MoT certificates, V5C registration document and MoT toNovember 2014.£65,000 - 75,000€80,000 - 93,000Motor Cars | 329


38333,500 miles from new1966 Aston Martin DB6 Sports SaloonRegistration no. YTP 1Chassis no. DB6/2471Engine no. 400/2429‘Stage by stage, as the DB has become dominant in the AstonMartin strain, the successive cars have changed their image. Todaythe aim is to offer the maximum of luxury and refinement as well asthe ultimate in road performance. The minor barbarities of so manygreat sports cars of the past are no longer acceptable – at least inthe hand built models now leaving Newport Pagnell. Obviously sucha car as the DB6 is expensive and exclusive but the value matchesthe price.’ – Autocar, 1966.The culmination of Aston-Martin’s long-running six-cylinder ‘DB’line, the DB6 debuted at the Paris and London Motor Shows in1965 and was recognisably related to the Touring-styled DB4 of1958. The wheelbase was now 4” longer than before, resulting in anextensive restyle with more-raked windscreen, raised roofline andreshaped rear quarter windows. Although apparently a bigger carthan its predecessors, the weight of the new model was in fact onlyfractionally increased.330 | Goodwood festival of speed


Opening front quarter lights made a reappearance but the majorchange was at the rear where a Kamm-style tail with spoiler marginallyreduced aerodynamic drag and increased high-speed stability. TheTadek Marek-designed double-overhead-camshaft six-cylinder enginehad been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5 and remainedunchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp,rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification. Borg-Warner automatictransmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speedgearbox and for the first time power-assisted steering was available.An automatic transmission model, chassis number ‘2471’ wassupplied to Bradburys on 26th January1966 and sold to the firstowner, Roy William Hamilton, on 1st February that year. The DB6was finished in Caribbean Pearl with red Connolly hide interior trim,and was fitted from new with a Webasto sunroof at Roy Hamilton’srequest. The original registration was ‘EON 666D’.Roy Hamilton covered 28,493 miles in the DB6 before passingaway in 1982, whereupon it was inherited by his son, Charles JohnHamilton. Charles Hamilton only drove the Aston to and from annualservicing until it was sold on 25th May 2001 to Richard CourtenayCripwell, who covered 3,000 happy miles in the car before selling itto the current vendor on 21st February 2012.The DB6 has been dry stored since purchase and only driven to andfrom servicing as well as on weekly Sunday runs in order to keep it inperfect running order. ‘2471’ has been driven only 33,276 miles in 48years (a few more will be added driving to the sale) the bulk of whichwas covered by two of the four owners.The DB6 was originally serviced by A J Beal Limited, Exeter (AstonMartin distributors and service agents). Thereafter it was maintained byChapman Spooner, Walsall and then, during the ownership of RichardCripwell, by Goldsmith & Young and Wren Classics in Wiltshire.This car is an exceptionally low mileage example in remarkablyoriginal condition. It has been garaged at all times from new andmeticulously cherished for 48 years by fastidious owners. Thevaluable registration number ‘YTP 1’ has been with this Aston forsome 13 years and as a gesture of goodwill the owner has decidedto allow it to remain with the car. As a further gesture of goodwill,the original registration number, ‘EON 666D’, which is held on aretention certificate, is included in the sale also. Possibly the finestun-restored DB6 still existing, ‘2471’ is offered with MoT/tax to 2015,V5 registration document, a copy of the original factory specificationsheet, the original DB6 instruction book and a comprehensive servicehistory portfolio.£150,000 - 200,000€180,000 - 250,000Motor Cars | 331


3841993 Lamborghini Diablo VT CoupéRegistration no. K950 EMOChassis no. ZAQDE07A0PLA12890332 | Goodwood festival of speed


After 17 years in production, the legendary Countach was replacedby the Diablo, which on its arrival was the fastest, most advancedand most expensive Lamborghini ever built. First exhibited publiclyat Monaco in January 1990, the Diablo improved on its illustriouspredecessor in every way, setting a new benchmark in supercardesign. Nobody can have been surprised to learn that it had beenstyled by Marcello Gandini, the man responsible for the LamborghiniMiura and Countach, for the family resemblance was obvious.Beneath the skin there was a steel spaceframe chassis, developedfrom the Countach’s, but constructed of square-section rather thanround tubing and incorporating ‘crumple zones’ at front and rear.The use of carbon-fibre composite panels, first seen in the CountachEvoluzione model, was extended in the Diablo, which also featuredrevised suspension capable of accommodating the envisaged futuredevelopments of four-wheel drive and active suspension. Stretchedto 5.7 litres for the Diablo, Lamborghini’s 48-valve V12 engine gainedfuel injection for the first time, producing its maximum of 492bhpat 7,000rpm. Of equal, if not greater significance, maximum torquewent up to 428lb/ft, an improvement of 55% over the Countach.Catalytic converters were standard, enabling the reworked V12 tomeet emissions requirements worldwide.With more power and a lower drag coefficient than the Countach, theDiablo easily eclipsed its forebear, exceeding 200mph (322km/h) ontest. More importantly, its acceleration and top speed figures weremarginally better than those of the Ferrari F40.Although one of the world’s most expensive cars, the Diablo wasnot a limited edition model like the latter but a series productioncar with a luxuriously appointed interior reflecting its designers’intention to produce a civilised Gran Turismo as suited to city streetsand motorways as the racetrack. Four-wheel drive Diablo VT andTarga-style open roadster versions soon followed and then came theDiablo SE (Special Edition) only 150 examples of which were built tocelebrate Lamborghini’s 30 years as a car manufacturer.This left-hand drive Diablo VT coupé was first registered in the UKon 17th March 2009 to Gulf Resources Corporation of Hambrook,Chichester, the current registered keeper. Its original UK registrationwas ‘F1 FHS’. Invoices on file totalling over £36,000, issued by Italiansports car specialists Joe Macari Motors of London SW18 and datingback to May 2009, indicate a no-expense-spared approach to itsupkeep over the last five years, which has included a full interiorre-trim. Finished in Grigio Titanium with black leather interior, theDiablo is described as in generally excellent condition and ready tobe enjoyed, currently displaying a total of little over 12,500 miles onthe odometer. A pre-sale check and MoT test will have been carriedout by Emblem Sports Cars prior to sale.

‘David Brown had a good eye for styling; he even made his tractorslook good. He was also one of the few people who could change theshape of the DB2 without detracting from its appearance.’ – ChrisHarvey, ‘Aston Martin and Lagonda’.David Brown’s acquisition of Tickford Ltd in 1953 led to bodyworkfor the revised DB2/4 MkII being manufactured by the NewportPagnell coachbuilder. With the launch of the ‘2+2’ DB2/4 in October1953, Aston Martin had extended the DB2’s appeal to the hithertountapped yet increasingly important market comprised of ‘sports carenthusiasts with a family’. Modifications to the rear of the chassisplus a reduction in fuel tank capacity from 19 to 17 gallons liberatedsufficient space within the existing design for two child-sizedoccasional rear seats.Mechanically the same as the ‘MkI’, the MkII was identifiable by itssubtly altered lines, the most significant change being a ¾” increasein roof height that afforded greater headroom. In MkII form theDB2/4 continued to be available as a close-coupled sports saloonor drophead coupé, while for the first time an alternative fixed-headcoupé was made available, of which 34 were made.Standard specification included the 2.6-litre ‘VB6E’ engine in 125bhpVantage tune, but from early in 1954 the 3-litre 140bhp ‘VB6J’engine was installed, providing 118mph top speed and 60mph inaround 11 seconds. This was one of the fastest cars then built inGreat Britain - with l00mph achievable in third gear and around120mph maximum - possessing impeccable handling plus a level ofcomfort rare in any high-performance car.The accompanying copy guarantee form shows that left-hand drivechassis number ‘1185’ was sold new via Majestic Automobilesin France to its first owner: Raymond Gallizia of Montbeliard. Thecolour scheme is recorded as Sea Green (top) with Deep CarriageGreen (lower) and red Connolly hide interior, while the only nonstandarditem listed is Alfin brakes. Additional owners recordedare C Carnaghan of Ashtead, Surrey (1984) and Mr Eckard Sacuss(2003). The Aston Martin Register notes that this car had a 3.7-litreDB4 engine fitted at the Works after two engine failures, but thereis corroborating evidence establishing the date. Neither is thereformal evidence that it was retained by the Works for experimentalpurposes. Sold strictly as viewed, the car is offered with current MoTand V5 registration document.£140,000 - 170,000€170,000 - 210,000Motor Cars | 335


386One of only 479 examples1955 Jaguar XK140 Drophead CoupéRegistration no. TPO 601Chassis no. 807210Engine no. G4297-8336 | Goodwood festival of speed


One of only 479 right-hand drive XK140 drophead coupés made, thisexample was manufactured in June 1955 and delivered via HenlysLtd, London finished in Battleship Grey with Gunmetal hood and redinterior trim. The car was retailed by W Jones & Sons and first ownedby one Harold Sinclair of Arundel Sussex. Its accompanying JDHTcertificate confirms that the XK140 retains matching chassis, body,engine and gearbox numbers.The current vendor purchased ‘TPO 601’ from the Twyford Moorsdealership around 12 years ago and immediately commissionedmarque specialists Leaping Cats to undertake a bodywork restoration,having stripped the XK down to a bare bodyshell and chassis. ‘TPO’was collected some weeks later as a completely restored and leadloadedbodyshell, ready for repainting. On return to the vendor’s ownprofessional motor body repair workshop, the chassis was sandblasted and painted black. The bodyshell and all other panels werethen repainted in ICI Jaguar Indigo Blue, and the bodyshell and allchassis box sections treated with cavity wax protection.The engine, gearbox and rear axle had been sent to Mike Ball ofBeacon Garage at Gringley-on-the-Hill for overhaul, and on theirreturn were reinstalled in the rolling chassis. All suspension partshad been cleaned and repainted in black. The newly painted shellwas then lifted back onto the rolling chassis. All the instruments andwoodwork had been sent to Mike Tilman at Jagbits for overhaul andre-veneering, and were then refitted together with an all new wiringloom, etc. At the same time a Becker Mexico audio system, Cliffordalarm system and Track Star tracking system were fitted.During the rebuild at the vendor’s body shop, all exterior trim wasstripped and repainted or re-chromed prior to being refitted to thecar. With completion approaching, ‘TPO’ was transported to MickTurley at MCT in Nuneaton for them to re-trim the car in Saville Greyleather together with blue piping, grey carpets and a dark blue hood.As a specialist body shop, the vendor’s company had a full 4-wheelsteering geometry system, so all the XK’s steering angles werechecked and adjusted by shims as required, resulting in a car thatthis is extremely precise to drive.Since the rebuild’s completion in 2007, the vendors have thoroughlyenjoyed various touring holidays with their XK140; none more sothan the Jaguar Enthusiast Club’s North American tour taking inRoute 66, on which the car clocked up little under 3,000 mileswithout incident. In May 2013 ‘TPO’ was used in the making ofSaville Row tailors Gieves & Hawkes’ film promoting their Autumn/Winter 2013 collection, which involved filming on location inYorkshire. The vendors received a cheque from Gieves & Hawkesfor £500, which was made out to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, a charitythat they, and ‘TPO’, have supported on various occasions to raisefunds and awareness.Described as in generally excellent condition, this well restoredXK140 is offered with its original logbook, sundry restorationinvoices, current MoT/tax and V5 registration document. Apart fromthose mentioned above, the only notified deviations from factoryspecification are front disc brakes and alternator electrics.£100,000 - 150,000€120,000 - 190,000Motor Cars | 337


3871964 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 SpiderCoachwork by PininfarinaRegistration no. PRX 840BChassis no. AR 379416Engine no. AR00526 00524Sporting elegant coachwork designed and built by Pininfarina, theAlfa Romeo Giulietta Spider was a huge success and continuedvirtually unchanged in 1.6-litre Giulia guise when the latter joined theline-up in 1962. Launched at the Monza Autodrome on 27th Junethat year, the Giulia range was the work of a design team headed byone of the greatest of Italian automobile engineers, Dr Orazio SattaPuliga, who had been responsible for all the post-war Alfa Romeos.The capacity increase from 1,300 to 1,600cc boosted maximumpower of Alfa’s classic twin-cam four from 80 to 92bhp and the car’stop speed to 109mph.Reliability was likewise enhanced and the larger engine wasnoticeably smoother and less fussy. A five-speed gearbox wasstandard on the Giulia 1600 Spider, which remained in productionuntil 1966. Described by Cars Illustrated as ‘probably one of themost delightful small sports cars which will ever be produced,’ theGiulia Spider is certainly one of the most attractive Alfa Romeos of itsday and remains highly regarded now.According to the Alfa Romeo Museum archives, this left-hand driveGiulia Spider was manufactured on 1st April 1964 and invoicedby the factory to Alfa Romeo Frankfurt on 22nd May 1965. Itwas originally finished in red. In the summer of 2007 the Alfa waspurchased in Oklahoma, USA and imported into the UK.The purchaser was informed at the time that the car had recentlybeen restored and the engine and gearbox rebuilt (in the USA).Although there was no documentation to substantiate the vendor’sclaim, the car’s superb condition indicated that it was true. Thebody-coloured underside showed virtually no use and is still inbeautiful condition.The Giulia was prepared for UK road use and MoT’d and registeredin December 2007. It has been driven on only a handful of occasionsby the owner and his car-enthusiast daughter, and it is this lackof use that prompted its sale. Recent works by marque specialistChris Robinson of RM Restoration include replacing the originalsingle Solex carburettor with twin Webers, thereby greatly improvingthe performance. Accompanying paperwork consists of a V5Cregistration document and fresh MoT.As this Spider has experienced minimal use since it was restored,it is still in superb condition and with its Zagato-style hardtop andenhanced performance is both practical and exciting.£38,000 - 44,000€47,000 - 54,000338 | Goodwood festival of speed

He continued to prepare and enter carsunder his own name for other drivers, including stars of the day suchas Ron Flockhart, Roy Salvadori, Jack Brabham and Bruce McLaren.Coombs’ name will be forever be linked with that of Jaguar, hisMark 1 and Mark 2 saloons being at the forefront of British salooncar racing throughout the late 1950s/early 1960s. When the E-Typesports car came along he raced that too with considerable success.More recently his company has built several up-graded Jaguar Mark 2‘Evolution’ saloons and E-Types using the best of modern technology.John Coombs died at his home in Monaco in August 2013, aged 91.John Coombs bought the E-Type offered here in 2007, at which timeit was in right-hand drive configuration. Research revealed that theroadster had been manufactured with left-hand drive so, as Johnintended to drive it in Monaco, the decision was taken to return itto original specification. The bodyshell was shipped to CoventryPrototype Panels where most of its restoration took place; a gentleflare to the rear wheelarches, new aluminium bonnet (without thebulge) and a restyled tail with integral bumpers being incorporated inthe process.The engine has been built to ‘fast road’ specification with 10:1compression flat-top pistons; high-lift D-Type profile camshafts;gas-flowed cylinder head with 1⅞” diameter inlet valves; six-branchexhaust manifold; and a lightened and balanced flywheel.

3891,156 miles from new1989 Porsche 911 ‘Wide Body’ SpeedsterRegistration no. G931 BPCChassis no. WPOZZZ91ZKS152028340 | Goodwood festival of speed


Porsche’s first take on a convertible 911 had been the Targa modelof 1965, a ‘halfway house’ design chosen because of fears that agenuine soft-top would not meet US Federal safety regulations, butby 1981 the company felt able to proceed with the genuine article.Introduced in normally aspirated 3.0-litre form in 1982, the 911Cabriolet lost little, if any, rigidity with the deletion of the Targa rolloverbar, while its speedily raised/lowered top featured a detachable,zip-fastened rear window. The 911 Cabriolet proved a hit from themoment of its debut at the Geneva Salon in March 1982 and by theend of the 1983 model year had sold over 4,000 units, a total some50% higher than that achieved by the cheaper Targa version.Completing the soft-top 911 line-up was the Speedster, whichrevived a charismatic model from Porsche’s past when it arrived in1989, the name previously having been applied to that most stylishof the many Type 356 variants. Based on the 911 Turbo Cabriolet,though normally aspirated, the 3.2-litre Speedster was launchedimmediately prior to the introduction of the new Type 964 bodyshell,and thus was the last 911 model to feature the old style body basedon the original design of 1963.The latter was reworked by chief stylist Tony Lapine, incorporatingnumerous references to the original 356 Speedster as well asa pair of controversial ‘camel hump’ cowlings behind the seatsthat concealed the stowed-away manual hood, a simplified affairdescribed by the factory as for ‘temporary’ use.From 1984 Porsche offered the ‘Turbo Look’ body style - flaredwheelarches, large rear wing and deeper front spoiler - on itsnormally aspirated models including the Speedster, the vast majorityof which were ordered with this option. One of the rarest of the 911family, the Speedster was built during 1989 only, a mere 2,065 carsbeing completed of which only 65 were imported into the UK in righthanddrive configuration.This rare, right-hand drive 911 Speedster was purchased as aone-owner car at Brooks’ auction at the National Motor Museum,Beaulieu in July 1999 (Lot 422). ‘G931 BPC’ had covered only1,081 miles from new at time of purchase. Since acquisition thevehicle has been kept in heated and dehumidified storage, with just75 dry miles having been added whilst maintaining the vehicle inshowroom condition. The present total mileage from new now reads1,156 miles. Meticulously maintained by the vendor’s own in-housemechanical engineers, the vehicle presents ‘as new’, with no knownfaults or issues.Finished in Guards Red with Linen leather interior and black hood,this rare and highly collectible modern Porsche is offered completewith all handbooks, tools, spare keys, service and maintenancerecords, previous and present MoT (expiry June 2015) and V5Cregistration document.£100,000 - 130,000€120,000 - 160,000Motor Cars | 341

Sited at the rear, the single-cylinder two-stroke produced amodest 9bhp, enough nevertheless to propel the lightweight andaerodynamic KR175 to around 55mph. The Plexiglas canopy, soreminiscent of those of Messerschmitt’s wartime aircraft, hingedsideways to enable access for the two occupants who sat onebehind the other, tandem style.Tandem seating and handlebar controls were retained for the 191ccKR200 of 1955, which featured revised bodywork, an improvedturning circle and a floor-mounted accelerator and clutch. Byreversing the electric starter the KR200’s engine could be made torun backwards, thus providing four reverse gears and the hairraisingpossibility of 60mph going backwards! Later models carriedthe diamond-shaped FMR badge, standing for Fahrzeug undMaschienenbau GmbH Regensburg. Production ceased in 1964after some 30,000 KR200s had been made.The outstanding Messerschmitt KR200 offered here was suppliednew in 1962 by John Avery & Son of Oxford. Kept on the roadby the first owner until 1974, by which time it had covered only8,000 miles, the Messerschmitt was then sold to the Sharp FamilyCollection Museum where it was kept until 2005 when the collectionwas sold. Since then it has been sympathetically re-commissionedand professionally re-sprayed to return it to pre-museum, scratchfreecondition. In 2011, ‘376 MJO’ completed a run to Remagen inGermany together with nine other Messerschmitts without missing abeat.

NOTICE TO BIDDERSThis notice is addressed by Bonhams to any person who maybe interested in a Lot, including Bidders and potential Bidders(including any eventual Buyer of the Lot). For ease of referencewe refer to such persons as “Bidders” or “you”. Our List ofDefinitions and Glossary is incorporated into this Notice toBidders. It is at Appendix 3 at the back of the Catalogue.Where words and phrases are used in this notice which arein the List of Definitions, they are printed in italics.IMPORTANT: Additional information applicable to the Salemay be set out in the Catalogue for the Sale, in an insert inthe Catalogue and/or in a notice displayed at the Sale venueand you should read them as well. Announcements affectingthe Sale may also be given out orally before and during theSale without prior written notice. You should be alert to thepossibility of changes and ask in advance of bidding if therehave been any.1. OUR ROLEIn its role as Auctioneer of Lots, Bonhams acts solely for andin the interests of the Seller. Bonhams’ job is to sell the Lot atthe highest price obtainable at the Sale to a Bidder. Bonhamsdoes not act for Buyers or Bidders in this role and does notgive advice to Buyers or Bidders. When it or its staff makestatements about a Lot or, if Bonhams provides a ConditionReport on a Lot it is doing that on behalf of the Seller of theLot. Bidders and Buyers who are themselves not expert inthe Lots are strongly advised to seek and obtain independentadvice on the Lots and their value before bidding for them.The Seller has authorised Bonhams to sell the Lot as its agenton its behalf and, save where we expressly make it clear tothe contrary, Bonhams acts only as agent for the Seller. Anystatement or representation we make in respect of a Lot ismade on the Seller’s behalf and, unless Bonhams sells a Lotas principal, not on our behalf and any Contract for Sale isbetween the Buyer and the Seller and not with us. If Bonhamssells a Lot as principal this will either be stated in the Catalogueor an announcement to that effect will be made by theAuctioneer, or it will be stated in a notice at the Sale or aninsert in the Catalogue.Bonhams does not owe or undertake or agree to any dutyor responsibility to you in contract or tort (whether direct,collateral, express, implied or otherwise). If you successfully bidfor a Lot and buy it, at that stage Bonhams does enter into anagreement with the Buyer. The terms of that contract are setout in our Buyer’s Agreement, which you will find at Appendix2 at the back of the Catalogue. This will govern Bonhams’relationship with the Buyer.2. LOTSSubject to the Contractual Description printed in bold lettersin the Entry about the Lot in the Catalogue (see paragraph 3below), Lots are sold to the Buyer on an “as is” basis, withall faults and imperfections. Illustrations and photographscontained in the Catalogue (other than photographs formingpart of the Contractual Description) or elsewhere of any Lotsare for identification purposes only. They may not reveal thetrue condition of the Lot. A photograph or illustration may notreflect an accurate reproduction of the colour(s) of the Lot. Lotsare available for inspection prior to the Sale and it is for you tosatisfy yourself as to each and every aspect of a Lot, includingits authorship, attribution, condition, provenance, history,background, authenticity, style, period, age, suitability, quality,roadworthiness (if relevant), origin, value and estimated sellingprice (including the Hammer Price). It is your responsibilityto examine any Lot in which you are interested. It should beremembered that the actual condition of a Lot may not be asgood as that indicated by its outward appearance. In particular,parts may have been replaced or renewed and Lots may notbe authentic or of satisfactory quality; the inside of a Lot maynot be visible and may not be original or may be damaged,as for example where it is covered by upholstery or material.Given the age of many Lots they may have been damaged and/or repaired and you should not assume that a Lot is in goodcondition. Electronic or mechanical parts may not operateor may not comply with current statutory requirements. Youshould not assume that electrical items designed to operateon mains electricity will be suitable for connection to themains electricity supply and you should obtain a report froma qualified electrician on their status before doing so. Suchitems which are unsuitable for connection are sold as items ofinterest for display purposes only. If you yourself do not haveexpertise regarding a Lot, you should consult someone whodoes to advise you. We can assist in arranging facilities for youto carry out or have carried out more detailed inspections andtests. Please ask our staff for details.Any person who damages a Lot will be held liable for theloss caused.3. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS AND ESTIMATESContractual Description of a LotThe Catalogue contains an Entry about each Lot. EachLot is sold by its respective Seller to the Buyer of the Lot ascorresponding only with that part of the Entry which is printedin bold letters and (except for the colour, which may beinaccurately reproduced) with any photograph of the Lot inthe Catalogue. The remainder of the Entry, which is notprinted in bold letters, represents Bonhams’ opinion (given onbehalf of the Seller) about the Lot only and is not part of theContractual Description in accordance with which the Lot issold by the Seller.EstimatesIn most cases, an Estimate is printed beside the Entry. Estimatesare only an expression of Bonhams’ opinion made on behalfof the Seller of the range where Bonhams thinks the HammerPrice for the Lot is likely to fall; it is not an Estimate of value.It does not take into account any VAT or Buyer’s Premiumpayable. Lots can in fact sell for Hammer Prices below andabove the Estimate. Any Estimate should not be relied on asan indication of the actual selling price or value of a Lot.Estimates are in the currency of the Sale.Condition ReportsIn respect of most Lots, you may ask for a Condition Report onits physical condition from Bonhams. If you do so, this will beprovided by Bonhams on behalf of the Seller free of charge.Bonhams is not entering into a contract with you in respectof the Condition Report and accordingly does not assumeresponsibility to you in respect of it. Nor does the Seller owe oragree to owe you as a Bidder any obligation or duty in respectof this free report about a Lot, which is available for your owninspection or for inspection by an expert instructed by you.However, any written Description of the physical condition ofthe Lot contained in a Condition Report will form part of theContractual Description of the Lot under which it is sold toany Buyer.The Seller’s responsibility to youThe Seller does not make or agree to make any representationof fact or contractual promise, Guarantee or warranty andundertakes no obligation or duty, whether in contract or intort (other than to the eventual Buyer as set out above), inrespect of the accuracy or completeness of any statementor representation made by him or on his behalf, which is inany way descriptive of any Lot or as to the anticipated orlikely selling price of any Lot.

In either case, the firearm mustbe regarded as unsafe to fire unless subsequently proved.Firearms proved for Black Powder should not be used withsmokeless ammunition.The term “Certificate of Unprovability” indicates that a firearmhas been examined at a Proof House and is deemed bothunsuitable for proof and use. Reproof is required before anysuch firearm is to be used.Guns Sold as PartsBarrels of guns sold as parts will only be made available forsleeving and measurements once rendered unserviceableaccording to the Gun Barrel Proof Act of 1968 to 1978 and theRules of Proof.Condition of FirearmsComment in this Catalogue is restricted, in general, toexceptional condition and to those defects that might affectthe immediate safety of a firearm in normal use. An intendingBidder unable to make technical examinations and assessmentsis recommended to seek advice from a gunmaker or from amodern firearms specialist. All prospective Bidders are advisedto consult the ˚ of bore and wall-thickness measurementsposted in the saleroom and available from the department.Bidders should note that guns are stripped only where thereis a strong indication of a mechanical malfunction.

Thesafety mechanisms of all guns must be tested before use. Allmeasurements are approximate.Original Gun Specifications Derived from GunmakersThe Sporting Gun Department endeavours to confirm a gun’soriginal specification and date of manufacture with makerswho hold their original records.Licensing RequirementsFirearms Act 1968 as amendedBonhams is constantly reviewing its procedures and wouldremind you that, in the case of firearms or shotguns subject tocertification, to conform with current legislation, Bonhams isrequired to see, as appropriate, your original registered firearmsdealer’s certificate / shot gun certificate / firearm certificate /museum firearms licence / Section 5 authority or import licence(or details of any exemption from which you may benefit, forinstance Crown servant status) for the firearm(s) you havepurchased prior to taking full payment of the amount shownon your invoice.

19. JEWELLERY˜ Ruby and JadeiteRuby and jadeite gemstones of Burmese (Myanmar) originmay not be imported into the US. Rubies and jadeite ofnon–Burmese origin require certification before importinto the US and it is the Buyer’s responsibility to obtain allrelevant and required export/import licences, certificatesand documentation before shipping. Failure by the Buyer tosuccessfully import goods into the US does not constitutegrounds for non payment or cancellation of Sale. Bonhamswill not be responsible for any additional costs in this regardhowsoever incurred.GemstonesHistorically many gemstones have been subjected to a varietyof treatments to enhance their appearance. Sapphires andrubies are routinely heat treated to improve their colour andclarity, similarly emeralds are frequently treated with oils orresin for the same purpose. Other treatments such as staining,irradiation or coating may have been used on other gemstones.These treatments may be permanent, whilst others may needspecial care or re-treatment over the years to retain theirappearance. Bidders should be aware that Estimates assumethat gemstones may have been subjected to such treatments.A number of laboratories issue certificates that give moredetailed Descriptions of gemstones. However there may not beconsensus between different laboratories on the degrees, ortypes of treatment for any particular gemstone. In the eventthat Bonhams has been given or has obtained certificatesfor any Lot in the Sale these certificates will be disclosed inthe Catalogue. Although, as a matter of policy, Bonhamsendeavours to provide certificates from recognised laboratoriesfor certain gemstones, it is not feasible to obtain certificatesfor each Lot. In the event that no certificate is published in theCatalogue, Bidders should assume that the gemstones mayhave been treated. Neither Bonhams nor the Seller accepts anyliability for contradictions or differing certificates obtained byBuyers on any Lots subsequent to the Sale.Estimated WeightsIf a stone(s) weight appears within the body of the Descriptionin capital letters, the stone(s) has been unmounted andweighed by Bonhams. If the weight of the stone(s) is statedto be approximate and does not appear in capital letters, thestone(s) has been assessed by us within its/their settings, andthe stated weight is a statement of our opinion only. Thisinformation is given as a guide and Bidders should satisfythemselves with regard to this information as to its accuracy.Signatures1. A diamond brooch, by KutchinskyWhen the maker’s name appears in the title, in Bonhams’opinion the piece is by that maker.2. A diamond brooch, signed KutchinskyHas a signature that, in Bonhams’ opinion, is authentic butmay contain gemstones that are not original, or the piece mayhave been altered.3. A diamond brooch, mounted by KutchinskyHas been created by the jeweller, in Bonhams’ opinion, butusing stones or designs supplied by the client.20.

PORCELAIN AND GLASSDamage and RestorationFor your guidance, in our Catalogues we detail, as far aspracticable, recorded all significant defects, cracks andrestoration.

Bidders should satisfy themselvesby inspection, as to the condition of each Lot. Please see theContract for Sale printed in this Catalogue.
