Phillips were part of the Raleigh group and had a

comes complete with original leg shield with
decals, panniers, first aid kit and fire extinguisher.
Accompanying the moped is a copy of the original
registration document for Truro Post Office,

113 A 1976 Honda CB400/Four, registration
number
SUD
200P,
frame
number
CB400F1053385, red. Honda's middleweight
CB400F was aimed at the competitive sport sector
of the market and was in direct competition with
the two stroke, high revving Kawasakis, Yamahas
and Suzukis. What the Honda lacked in outright
speed against the competition was made up for
with its four stroke smoothness and quiet running.
The most distinctive feature of the motorcycle was
the sinuous four into one exhaust pipes which
wrapped around the engine to exit on the right
hand side of the bike. This early example has seen
very little use in the last six years, being ridden
less than 200 miles during that time. The machine
is in a very original unmolested condition and
features the correct four into one exhaust, petrol
tank livery and rear foot pegs. There is a large
history file containing past MOTs, maintenance
receipts and photocopies of magazine articles. The
vendor informs us that the bike is running well but
would benefit from having the carburettors tuned
after the lack of use. V5C, MOT to May 2014,
taxed See illustration £1500 - 2000

the moped was stored for many years before he
acquired it and added it to his collection in 2009.
He described the moped as very original and it is
running well with all controls operating smoothly.
Further original features include the hand pump,
toolkit, data sheet and service and maintenance
manuals. V5C, no current MOT or tax See
illustration £400 - 450
and the vendor describes the scooter as running
well and has only been used very sparingly since
the restoration. It is offered for auction with a copy
of the operation and maintenance manual. V5C,

115 A 1960 Norman Nippy, registration number
MSK 859, frame number 1172, black/blue. This

informs us that the motorcycle is running and
riding very well and has only done a few shake
down miles since the rebuild. There is good
maintenance history accompanying the motorcycle
contained within two ring files with a detailed
report on the engine rebuild with numerous
photographs, maintenance receipts and past
MOTs. This very well maintained TR6C is now
only for sale due to a recent lack of use and to help

stored from new Bonnie, is surely a real discovery
and a must for any serious motorcycle collection.
She is presented still in the protective shipping
grease and has never been fired up. The vendor
informs us that there hasn't even been any petrol in

Hillman Minx acquired the name Magnificent in
1936 when the body has a restyle with a more
rounded body shape. The chassis was stiffened and
the engine moved forward to allow more
passenger room. There were two saloon models
offered in the range, the basic safety model with

the first models featured white livery with Martini
racing stripes. This car is a rare survivor of the
original press fleet of 20 cars, brought over for
evaluation by the British motoring press and the
Martini Porsche racing drivers. This car still sports
its original Lancia press fleet registration plates
and the chassis and registration numbers which
still adorn the car verify this. In 1994 this car
underwent a complete back to bare metal body
shell restoration and since then it has lived a
pampered life in dry storage, emerging only to
attend such events as Lancia Club meetings and
concours events. It has covered 80,000 miles from

release pack, workshop manual, contemporary
motoring magazine and road test reports, and
publicity material, including images of the car

Mk IV estates featured vinyl roofs to help give the
car a less bulky appearance. This particular car has
spent the last 30 years in the Somerset and Dorset
area and has been barn stored for the last 20 of
those. Finished in dark blue with a black vinyl
roof, the interior has black vinyl bench seats front
and rear, and has automatic column change. The
vendor informs us that after 20 years in storage
she started readily with fresh petrol and recharged
battery, but needs further recommissioning and
fettling to obtain a new MOT. This rare Ford
estate would make an excellent towing vehicle for
a period style racing team. V5, no current MOT or

a very short production run of only three years. It
was available in SWB and LWB chassis forms
which employed either the 2 or 2¼ litre petrol
engines or a 2 litre diesel. This particular SWB
version has been with the current owner since
1982. It was registered with his company for two
years and was transferred to his name from 1984.
Over the years the Land Rover has been restored
and the vendor describes the condition of the
engine, bodywork, chassis, interior and paintwork
as good. Recent expenditure has included the
fitting of five new tyres and repainting of the body
in traditional green. The Land Rover is
accompanied by a full canvas tilt and hoops and
has been fitted with a larger 2.5 litre diesel engine.
The vendor informs us that the Land Rover has
never been driven off-road during his ownership
and the chassis has been regularly Waxoyled. The
history file contains MOTs from 1984 which
confirms that TAP 950 has been driven 18,000
miles in 32 years. V5C, MOT to October 2014, tax

Plas specification cars this Princess is luxuriously
appointed with automatic transmission, grey

of a £7,000 bodywork restoration by Pool Lane
Classics, which is detailed in a report outlining the
works carried out. The accompanying history file
contains receipt from Charles Clark, other receipts,

passenger access. Further body styles would
become available, including a four door saloon,
drop head coupé and sports tourer, and by the end
of the production run in 1958 nearly 1300 chassis
had been manufactured incorporating all body
styles. EH2015 is an imposing two door saloon
featuring rear spats and has a beautifully patinated
maroon leather interior with mahogany dashboard
and door cappings. She further benefits from
having her original tool tray and tools housed in
the boot, which is a very unusual and rare feature
today. The AC has been previously restored and
maintained by the current vendor impeccably.
There is a vast history file which accompanies the
car, outlining all of the works carried out with
receipts going back to the 1950s and MOTs from
the 1970s. More recent expenditure has included
an engine rebuild by Sigma Engineering for nearly
£10,000 (completed March 2012, with receipt on
file). Further maintenance includes new tyres, a
new radiator, a brake overhaul, and other general
maintenance which amounts to thousands of
pounds. EH2015 will be offered for auction with

This Isetta has had two owners since 1978 and has
been barn stored since 1988. The second owner,
who was a member of the Isetta Owners Club of
Great Britain, acquired the bubble car in
September 1988. From correspondence contained
within the history file it would appear that he
intended to restore the car. There is reference to
the cylinder head having been worked on, but
apart from this it would look as if very little other
work was carried out. The history file contains
Isetta Owners Club literature, a reprint of an
original sales brochure, an owners handbook,
newspaper and magazine articles which feature
bubble cars. This original Isetta is now ripe for
restoration and with the ever increasing popularity
of these diminutive little cars this example is
certainly a worthy project. V5, MOT and tax

SJR 437, engine number SR218J, Georgian silver
over dark ink blue. Introduced in 1962 the Rolls
Royce Silver Cloud III would be the final
incarnation of the factory bodied standard steel
saloons. The introduction of the twin headlamp
design was clearly the most obvious departure
from the previous model. Further improvements,
including repositioning of the front indicators and
side lamps into a single unit incorporated into the
front wings and smaller bumper overriders.
Mechanically the specification was very similar to
the Bentley S3 Continental with 9.1 compression
ratio carburettors, improved power steering and a
Lucas vacuum-advance distributor to aid fuel
consumption. SJR 437 was manufactured during
the last year of S3 production. According to
photocopies of the build sheets she was originally
finished in steel grey and steel blue with a blue
hide interior with complementary grey headlining
and Ambassador blue carpets. Further special
features
included
full
refrigeration
(air
conditioning), electric windows, combined
blinking and parking lights (above each door
pillar), plain Sundym glass and Avon tubeless
tyres. After her final inspections she was signed
off and despatched to Rippon Bros Ltd who
supplied the car to Ross Bros Ltd Ben Rhydding
who in turn sold the Silver Cloud to the first
owner, a Mr A E Walton. Having spent a number
of years abroad SJR 437 is now finished in
Georgian silver over dark ink blue with a Saint
James red leather interior, and has been restored at
sometime in the past. The history file contains
photocopies of the original build sheets, MOTs
from 2007 indicating that the car has travelled less
that 6,000 miles in seven years, a RSAC
Motorsport certificate stating that the Rolls Royce
successfully climbed the Rest and be Thankful

160 A rare 1961 Ford Classic Consul 315,
registration number 2271 RU, spruce green, one of
17 estates converted by coach builders Mr Cassini
& Mr Tonola of Hughes of Nairobi. During the
summer of 1961, vehicle 109E 18717, a two door
Ascot grey Classic saloon rolled off Ford's
Dagenham production line. Designated as a
Consul 315 denoting an export model, and in this
case it was shipped to Hughes Ltd, Nairobi's main
Ford agents. It was at this point that the car's
history takes a twist, as she was one of 17 Classics
converted by Mr Cassini & Mr Tonola, employees
of Peter Hughes, into estates. Little is known of
the cars history in Kenya. 109E 18717 returned to
these shores in 1964 and was registered BLR
298B. The Ford would remain in the Dorset area
for the next ten years, registered to a Mr C C
Dixon from Gillingham. The next custodian was a
Mr James from Southampton, who kept the car
from 1974 to 1978. Having heard of the newly
formed Ford Classic Owners Club he decided to
offer the car for sale. The club member Bob
Renshaw then acquired her from a club magazine
advert in 1978. He then embarked on a full
restoration which was completed by October 1979.
At this point the cars colour was changed to
Roman bronze. His efforts were rewarded by the
car taking pride of place on the club stand at the
London Earls Court Classic Car Show the
following year. Following on from Bob's
ownership, the next stage of the Classic's history
was taken up by John Cantwell who acquired the
Ford in 1992. A second restoration was then
embarked upon, with another change in colour to
the current spruce green, and was finished in May
1995. The finished car was then featured in
Popular Classics May 1995 issue (photocopy of
article on file). John kept the car until the current
vendor acquired the Ford from John's widow last
year. This ultra rare and well known Consul 315
estate is now in need of further TLC and comes to
auction with a comprehensive history compiled by
John Cantwell outlining past owners and
restorations. V5C, no current MOT or tax See 162 A 1935 Talbot AW75 long wheelbase saloon,
illustrations £10000 - 12000
registration number FO 3243, chassis number
37434, engine number 1397, blue over black. The
75 was developed from the highly successful
14/45, and with its 2.3 litre six cylinder overhead
valve engine, offered roomy, comfortable
transport at a competitive price. The Talbot 75 was
offered in two wheel base lengths, short, 114
inches, and long, 120 inches, the latter long wheel
base chassis the more expensive and substantial
being X-braced, featuring semi elliptic front and
quarter elliptic rear springs and effective brakes.
All models featured the Wilson pre-selector self
changing gearbox. This rare long wheelbase
AW75 is believed to be the only surviving
example of this model on the road today, and was
first registered on 23rd July 1935. The surviving
161 A 1965 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud III, RF60 continuation logbook and expired tax discs
registration number AHJ 992C, chassis number would indicate that FO 3243 was last used in 1951
and was not taxed again until 1963 when some
mechanical repairs were carried out, and an MOT
was obtained. The car was subsequently purchased
by Mr Derek Allen in 1966 from an advert placed
in Motorsport Magazine for Talbot spares. It
remained in his possession for the next 40 years on
the family farm in dry storage. This remarkably
complete and original AW75 long wheel base
saloon retains its factory coachwork. The interior
is complete and all the original fittings and
instrumentation are present. The blue leather
upholstery would benefit from some localised
repair due to mice damage. FO 3243 was
purchased by the current vendor from a
Charterhouse auction, and a programme of
improvement and recommissioning to bring the
car up to a roadworthy standard has been carried
out. The coachwork is presented in a wonderful
original state of preserved decaying grandeur and
it would be hoped that the next custodian will
maintain it in the same manner. The vendor
informs us that the roof has been restored with
Cuban mahogany and West of England cloth, and
the sliding sunroof now works correctly. The rest
of the interior is as it left the factory, with blue
leather upholstery and door cards. The engine,
gearbox and back axle have been checked and
serviced, the radiator has been recored, the brakes
relined and the wheels have been shot blasted and
powder coated, and a new exhaust fitted, plus
other consumables as necessary in the
recommissioning process. On inspection the
Talbot started readily and sounded very sporty
with its new exhaust. The history file contains
expired MOT certificates, receipts from 1963 and
the old style continuation logbook. This very
original Talbot is now presented in wonderful oily
rag condition and is worthy of inclusion in any
preservation class event. RF60, V5, V5C, MOT

163 A 1927 Rolls Royce 20hp Park Ward Tourer,
registration number YT 7222, chassis number
GRJ36, engine number S91, green over black.
Rolls Royce announced its new small car in 1922,
which was designed to meet the harsher economic
climate of the time. They were built with the
owner/driver in mind, rather than the larger,
luxurious 40/50 models, which were invariably
chauffeur driven. Initially available between 1922
and 1925 with the rear brake chassis and three
speed gearbox, this was subsequently improved
from 1925 with the introduction of front servo
assisted brakes and A four speed gearbox, both
chassis configurations employed the same 3127cc
six cylinder engines. Rolls Royce found the 20hp
chassis very popular with clients and 2,940 were
sold between 1922 and 1929. GRJ36, an extremely
original four brake chassis car, retains its original
Park Ward Tourer body, hood, interior, engine and
running gear. The car has been in the current
family ownership since 1973. At the time of
purchase the odometer read 39,350 miles and
between 1973 and 1989 rose to 50,000 miles. In
1989 the car was put into dry storage where it
remained until recently. GRJ36 was removed from
hibernation and a programme of recommissioning
has taken place to bring the car back to life for the
first time in 25 years. The body is finished in light
green over black with a beautifully patinated dark
blue leather interior, black canvas hood, tonneau
and hood cover. The side screens are present, the
rear passengers have the benefit of an Auster
screen to protect them when the hood is lowered,
and there is a side mounted spare wheel, a large
boa constrictor horn and rear trunk fitted. Such
original and low mileage Rolls Royces rarely
come on to the market these days and as such they
are sought after by collectors. It is hoped that the
next custodian will preserve GRJ36 in the same
condition and manner as the current owners have.

The full
specification of this car actually exceeds this
description. This is some car indeed, and the
vendor confirms that he has driven this car at 145
mph (not on a main road, he hastens to add), and
the car had still more power to give! (he chickened
out, not the car!). Prices for Mk I Escorts of this
calibre have gone through the roof and demand is
higher than ever. The original car, at a guess,
would be valued in the region of £200,000, and
this particular car is an exact replica of the famous
works rally car driven by Roger Clark. This is a
fantastic car, ready to be enjoyed for fun, historic
rallying, or track days, or even could form part of
a museum or private car collection. V5C, MOT to

164 A 1972 Ford Escort Mk I Castrol Evocation
rally car, registration number FOP 426L, Castrol
racing livery. The vendor informs us, that this car
has had a full ground up, nut and bolt restoration,
to concours show standard, and has covered a
mere 350 miles since the completion of the
restoration. The work has been carried out over a
ten year period, by a dedicated owner to a very
exacting standard of evocation of the original
works rally car driven by Roger Clark in the
1970s. This restoration cost in excess of £75,000
to complete, and it is estimated that a similar
restoration at today's values would cost around
£120,000 to complete to a similar standard. The
history folder contains photographic images of the
restoration (CD of around 170 images), which
shows the extent of this full and comprehensive
restoration, and the high level of workmanship
carried out.
The specification includes the
following: a full race prepared 2 litre twin cam
overhead valve engine, with a turbo fitted to a S14
engine, gearbox and axle units, Excedy race
clutch, bias pedal box, three inch intercooler,
Samco hoses throughout, Greddy turbo elbow
intercooler, three inch Janspeed exhaust system,
especially made and produced for this car, and a
Janspeed exhaust manifold, which is wrapped.
Image 10 inch and 13 inch, three piece wheels in
gold and silver, shod with Kumo 235/45 13 inch,
medium compound tyres. There is an English rear
axle with Quaife ATB limited differential set at
3.54 to 1 ratio, RSC Cosworth rear brake callipers,
Motorsport Race 4 pot callipers to the front,
adjustable TCA's all round, Bilstein coil over front
suspension with alloy hubs, and alloy tops, which
are all rose jointed, Spax coil over rear end
suspension with anti-dive kit, rear axle running six
link system, with Watts linkage (all rose jointed),
quick rack fitted with Sparco steering wheel. The
vehicle is fitted with goat's skin and pig's skin
suede interior trim, Cobra seats with slide, lumber

165 A 1925 Sunbeam 20/60 sports tourer,
registration number XX 1700, chassis number
1101E, engine number 1125E, British racing green
over black. Sunbeam motorcars have an illustrious
racing and land speed record breaking history. In
period they were on par with other great marques
such as Bentley, Lagonda and Rolls Royce, and
now offer the discerning enthusiast and collector
outstanding value in today's market. This
particular example started life with Landaulette
coachwork. In 1995 1101E was in a dilapidated
state and the decision was made to embark on a
full chassis up restoration, and in the process a
new sports tourer body was made and fitted.
During the restorations, which took eight years,
5,628 man hours and nearly £70,000 to complete.
The Sunbeam was meticulously restored by
marque experts. 1101E is finished in a beautiful
dark shade of British racing green with black
wings, which was achieved with 20 coats of
cellulose, which has endowed the paint with a
deep lustre. To complement the coachwork, all of
the brightwork has been nickel plated, and the
interior has been retrimmed in tan leather. The
weather gear consists of a hood, full and half
tonneau covers, side screens and hood bag. The
rear seat passengers have the luxury of an Auster
screen to shield them from the elements and a full
width mahogany picnic table allows alfresco
dining in style. The chassis, engine and running
gear have all been restored to a similar high
standard, and the culmination of all this
expenditure is a car which exudes both style and
class. There is a vast history file accompanying the
car with copious handwritten notes detailing all
aspects of the restoration, receipts, photographs of
the restoration in progress and correspondence.
Sunbeams are undervalued in the current classic
car market and at present offer tremendous value
compared to their contemporaries. 1101E now
offers the next lucky owner vintage sporting
motoring at its finest. V5C, MOT to March 2015,
