3 A 1955 Ford Consul, registration number TYB 602, green. TYB 602 is a low mileage (believed 85,000 miles from new), three owner car, which has resided in the Somerset and Dorset areas since being registered to its first owner, a Mr Brian David Kervil, of Highgate House, Wells. Mr Kervil would retain the car for a number of years, before passing the car on to Mr Kevin White, who resided at the same address. The current lady owner acquired TYB 602 a few years ago in garage stored condition. The car was subsequently recommissioned with new wheel cylinders and brakes, all new ignitions components, rechromed front and rear bumpers by SMT to show standard, and a thorough service was carried out. The vendor describes the Consul as being in very original condition, on the button and driving very well.

This charming Ford Consul is offered for auction with some service history, past MOTs, RF60 and continuation logbooks. V5C, MOT and tax exempt (taxed) See illustration £4400 - 4800

4 A 1976 Bristol 603 prototype, registration number WGO 926R, chassis number 7900000, Copper Beech metallic. This desirable 603 prototype has been partially restored by Bristol Cars before the company went into receivership. The car was stripped by Jeff Marsh’s team and the body was subsequently restored and repainted in Copper Beech metallic at a cost of £12,000 (the original colour was blue and the car featured on the official Bristol 603 sales brochure).

7900000 is offered for auction with two sets of seats and most of the other interior fittings. Unfortunately neither the engine or gearbox are with the car, but as these are relatively common and easy to obtain, this should not hinder the progress of the restoration. This prototype Bristol offers the next owner an exciting opportunity to complete the car to their own specification and once finished they will have a unique and historically significant vehicle. V5C, no MOT or tax See illustration £3000 - 4000

Lot 11 11 A 1939 Morris 8 Series E, registration number FYE 218, chassis number SE/E 29143, engine number B34772, black over blue.

Produced between 1938 and 1948 the Series E welcomed in a new more modern body design incorporating headlamps faired into the front wings, and a dummy waterfall front grille. This charming example has resided in the Sherborne area since 1947. The current lady custodian purchased the Morris in 1972 and has cherished the car ever since. During her 42 year ownership the Morris has received

restoration and maintenance as necessary, including a respray, reupholstering of the front seats in matching maroon leather, new carpets and headlining. Accompanying the car is a large history file with past MOTs, receipts, owners handbooks and correspondence.

Now only for sale due to a recent lack of use, this well presented example is ready to take to the show circuit. RF60, V5C, MOT and tax exempt (taxed) See illustrations £5800 - 6200

Lot 12 12 A 1952 AC 2 litre two door saloon, registration number OKM 874, maroon. AC’s post WWII sports saloon became available in 1947, initially as a two door body with large suicide doors which aided rear passenger access. Further body styles would become available, including a four door saloon, a drop head coupe and a sports tourer.

By the end of the production run in 1958 nearly 1300 chassis had been manufactured incorporating all body styles. OKM 874 is an imposing two door saloon with a beautifully patinated maroon leather interior, a mahogany dashboard and door cappings and recently replaced door cards. The vendor informs us that the AC previously formed part of a private car collection in Holland for over 25 years. During the current

4

custodianship the AC has been recommissioned with restored carburettors (receipt on file for nearly £900), new battery and fuel pump and service items and all oils have been changes. Further works include the repair of the boot area, a new wooden bulkhead panel behind the aluminium panel and a new parcel shelf. The vendor says that the car drives well with the engine having good oil pressure. He also believed that the recorded mileage of 60,000 miles is correct, as he has all MOTs up to 1986 when the AC became part of the Dutch collection and very few miles have been covered in his ownership.

V5C, MOT and tax exempt (taxed) See illustrations £7000 - 9000

With the introduction of Ford’s V6 engine into the sexy Adams designed body a true GT car was born, with power to match those racing car looks.

This particular Marcos has been in the same family ownership since 1990. It was purchased for the vendor’s brother and exported to his home in Parma, Italy. It would remain there for the next 23 years, remaining garaged and unused for the majority of that time, before being re-imported back to England by the vendor in 2013.

spark plugs and points, front brake calipers and flexible hoses, front indicators, rear brake balancing kit, carpets, pedal rubbers, dynamo, door window motors, clutch and a reconditioned gearbox (original available with the car).

19 A 1962 Morris Mini Minor Super-De-Luxe, registration number NGL 235, Almond green. This very original garage stored Mini comes to auction having spent the last 25 years hibernating in a garage.

Introduced in 1951 the Consul was the base model of the three model Zephyr range, comprising the four cylinder Consul and the six cylinder Zephyr and Zodiac. The Mk II version became available from 1956 with the code 204E and featured a 1703 cc straight four cylinder engine. This Mk II example has just been recommissioned after long term storage.

From the last year of production this Clubman estate was in storage from 1990 until a comprehensive rebuild was carried out during 2013. The vendor believes that the recorded mileage of 26,000 miles could be correct due to the length of time the Mini was in storage, but unfortunately there is not sufficient paperwork to substantiate this. A rare classic estate, fresh from a thorough restoration now awaits a new enthusiastic owner. V5C, MOT to December 2014, taxed See illustration £4000 - 5000 23 - 24

Lot 25 25 A 1949 Land Rover Series I 80 inch, registration number JM 8199, blue. This early Series I comes with a BMIHT certificate stating that R-8-6-2400 was produced for the home market, built on 2nd February 1949 and dispatched on 3rd February 1949 to Messers H J Croft & Co Ltd, Kendal, although the V5C states declared manufacture as 1948. It appears that JM 8199 was active in the Series I Club in the early 1970s and is featured on the front of the club magazine Legend

(copy 173) from an old photograph taken from the 1970 Proteus Trial.

Accompanying this Land Rover is a copy of this magazine, a letter from Pete Wilford (Funny Fings) talking about JM 8199, copies of photographs and other items. Affectionately known as Jimmy, he is only for sale because the vendor has had the opportunity to buy back his old Series II. V5C, MOT and tax exempt (taxed) See illustrations £14500 - 16500

Lot 26 26 A 1949 Land Rover Series I 80 inch short wheel base, registration number KOD 985, chassis number R8666683, engine number 34305893, green. Early Series I Land Rovers have become very collectable in recent years, with their handsome rugged good looks, practicality and eligibility to all the best events, including The Goodwood Revival. KOD 985 is just such an example, she rolled off the production line and was first registered on 4th July 1949. Little is known of the Land Rover’s early history until it came into the vendor’s possession in the early 1970s in very poor condition. On acquisition the Land Rover was rebuilt and subsequently won concours at the Land Rover National Rally (approximately 40 years ago!). Since then the Land Rover has been taxed for limited use (no MOT required) and was the vendor’s daily transport on a holiday park where he was the 8

managing director for 25 years, travelling approximately 20 miles per week until 2000 when they both retired. The Land Rover has some modifications from the standard specification, including the fitting of a 1954 six cylinder Rover engine, extending the front spring shackles and an Austin 1100 radiator. All of the original components which were removed are accompanying the car should the next owner wish to reinstate them. Also accompanying the car are some useful and hard to obtain spares, including an original hard top, starter motor, half doors, grille, dynamo, differential, electrical and brake components.

Having been in the current ownership for over 40 years this desirable early registered 80 inch Series I Land Rover is now ready for the next lucky enthusiast to take over running her for the next 40 plus years.

27 A believed 1960s County Commercial Cars all terrain 4x4 prototype, green. This is really something different!

It was made to evaluate the market for a small go anywhere vehicle for hill farmers, small holders and country estates. The vehicle is well engineered and constructed with bespoke engineering evident in numerous places. This small workhorse would be a great addition to any tractor or 4x4 collection. No accompanying paperwork See illustration £2500 - 2800

Lot 35 35 A 1935 Talbot AW75 long wheelbase saloon, 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 preselector 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 RF60 continuation logbook and expired tax discs 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 an expired MOT certificate (only one), 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 and tax exempt (taxed) See illustrations £11500 - 12500

Lot 36 36 A 1926 left hand drive Buick 48 Master Six Opera coupé, registration number BSK 396, blue with black wings. This Buick was imported from Arizona and purchased by a previous owner in 1996. In a tired mechanical condition, it was very original, well preserved and rust free. The owner then carried out a full restoration programme, from the chassis up, taking a large number of photographs recording each stage, and it was at this point it was repainted to its original blue with black wings. It was then put into storage having never been used

on the road.

Lot 85

85 A 1948 Jaguar Mk IV 3.5 litre sport saloon, registration number 245 YUS, chassis number 612575, engine number S2840, maroon. The Jaguar Mk IV is felt by many to be the epitome of British car design of its era. The large chrome P100 headlights, sweeping wings, luxurious maroon interior and polished wood all speak of the style and opulence of a past age. The Mk IV was the first car to bear the legendary Jaguar name, as William Lyons felt that the previous pre-WWII of SS was not appropriate for obvious reasons. The model was available with three engine options from the diminutive 1.5 litre four cylinder to the all singing 3.5 litre straight six. This particular, handsome, ultimate specification 3.5 litre example rolled off the production line on 16th

April 1948 destined to be an export model. It was dispatched on 5th May 1948 to Australia where the original dealer, Brylaw Motors, supplied it to its first owner. Little is known of the car’s history in Australia, but from the history folder it would appear that the Jaguar has spent time in both Japan and Singapore, before returning to these shores in 2013. He also informs us that the Jaguar is driving very well.

This delightful post-war Jaguar is offered for sale with a Heritage certificate, receipts for works carried out, export and import documents, an original service manual and correspondence. V5C, MOT and tax exempt See cover and other illustrations ÂŁ35000 - 38000

Lot 88 88 A 1967 MG B roadster, registration number NGE 300F, chassis number GH43122856, engine number 18GBROH88038, Old English white. MG’s ever popular sports car has been part of Britain’s sporting car heritage for over 50 years. They are still as popular with enthusiasts as they were when they were new, and with the excellent MG owner’s club and specialist restoration and parts suppliers this situation is likely to continue. This beautifully restored roadster has been the subject of a bare metal restoration. It has taken the vendor approximately 20 years to complete, but he informs us that there was a period of a number of years when the restoration stalled due to life getting in the way. During the restoration all rust was removed and new panels were let in as necessary, the shell was then resprayed in Old English white.

The interior was retrimmed with black leather seats with white piping, the hood frame was reconditioned but no hood has been fitted as the vendor only drives the car with a tonneau cover. All of the running gear has been renewed or reconditioned, including a rebuilt engine, a new wiring loom which has been converted to negative earth and a single 12 volt battery was installed instead of the usual 26 volt. In fact the vendor says everything has been done to bring the car up to a first class condition. The MG returned to the road in 2013 and the vendor says that it has been a pleasure to own and drive. He also informs us that there has been approximately £10,000 spent on parts and professional labour, plus his own efforts to complete the car, V5C, MOT to June 2015, tax exempt (taxed) See illustrations £11000 - 12000 27

Lot 89

89 A 1925 Riley 11/40 12hp sports four seat tourer, registration number DS 9184, blue over black. The vendor informs us that some 40 years ago this vehicle was discovered by Mr Bernie Jacobson, (a well known and avid vintage car collector) in the rear of a rural garage apparently the car had been taken there for some mechanical repair.

Bluebelle, as she had become known, was then sent to Coachcraft, a renowned vintage car restorer. A new body was hand crafted in aluminium to match the original. The original engine, gearbox, chassis, back axle and running gear were all restored at the same time along with a full retrim in leather and a new soft top. This outstanding 28

Riley with great provenance is finished in dark blue with black wings and soft top, complemented by a powder blue leather trim, four speed manual gearbox and wire wheels (both optional when new), nickel plated headlights and radiator shell, side lights and windscreen.

A spare wheel is fitted to the rear and the rear window in the hood is a lovely diamond shape design. The history folder contains handbook, original drawings and pictures, previous invoices, various show awards, photos of the car with the owner, tax discs, restoration images and some write-ups. V5C, MOT and tax exempt See illustrations ÂŁ38000 - 42000

Lot 90

90 A 1934 MG PA Midget, registration number AFC 634, chassis number PA/1063, engine number 1317/PA, black. Introduced in 1934 as the replacement for the J2, Autocar reported the new model and described it as ‘This latest model is a marked improvement in all respects over its forerunners’ and Abbingdon claimed in their sales brochure ‘In all there are over 100 new and improved features’. Having had favourable reports in the motoring press the diminutive sporting MG sold well with 1,973 examples leaving the production line. This beautiful example from the first year of production has been the subject of a full and comprehensive rebuild. The previous long term owner, a Mr C Wardle owned the MG between 1972 and 2009. He was

the gentleman who lavished much time and effort to restore the car into the excellent condition that it is in today. The body is finished in black which complements the chrome fittings and tan leather interior.

Weather protection is taken care of with a full canvas tonneau cover, hood and side screens. There is a large and comprehensive history file with receipts, old MOTs, RF60 and correspondence dating back to the 1970s. There has been one other owner before the vendor acquired the MG last year. During his custodianship the vendor has had the dynamo rebuilt at the cost of £889.24. Beautifully presented this charming MG is ready to be enjoyed by the next lucky owner.

Description a) All lots are sold and purchased ‘as seen’. A vehicle sold ‘as seen’ is sold and purchased for what it is and with all its faults (if any) and without any condition, warranty or other term (whether expressed or implied and whether implied by statute, common law, custom or otherwise) as to the age, description, mileage, suitability, fitness for purpose, merchantable quality or roadworthiness of the vehicle. b) Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the description of each lot, but these, whether made orally or in the catalogue, are expressions of opinion and not representations of fact.

Illustrations whether in the catalogue, on the web site, or sent by email are solely for guidance and must not be relied upon in any manner whatsoever. Most lots are of an age and nature which precludes their being in pristine condition. The condition of any lot and the nature of any damage and/or restoration should be confirmed by the buyer by examination prior to the sale. All prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves as to the condition, colour, age and all other matters relating to any lot and no claims will be accepted in respect of any such matter. c) Each buyer by making a bid for a lot acknowledges that he has satisfied him or herself fully as to the condition of the lot. If any damage is done to any lot at the viewing or before, during or after the sale, such damage shall be made good by the person committing such damage, principals being responsible for the acts of their servants, such damage to be assessed by the auctioneers. d) Whilst every endeavour has been made to ensure that the items lotted in this catalogue will be available and offered for sale in catalogue order, no responsibility can be accepted by the auctioneers for variations and omissions due to circumstances beyond their control. Neither Charterhouse nor the sellers of any lot will accept responsibility for any misrepresentations, misdescriptions or omissions obtained in this catalogue.

11)

Contract of Sale a) On the fall of the hammer, a contract of sale is completed between the seller and the buyer.

Charterhouse is not a party to the contract of sale and shall not be liable for any breach thereof by the buyer or the seller. b) If successful in buying a lot, please ensure that your number can be seen by the auctioneer and that it is your number that is called out. Should there be any doubts as to price or buyer, please drawer the auctioneer’s attention to it immediately. Please contact the accounts desk with details of how you will pay. c) The ownership of the lot(s) purchased will not pass to the buyer until the buyer has paid the auctioneers in full the total amount due and the auctioneers have applied such payment to the lot.

12)

Transfer of Risk. Each lot shall be the purchaser’s sole risk from the fall of the hammer and shall be sold with all faults and imperfections, the auctioneer not being responsible for the correct description, genuineness or authenticity of any lot and making no warranty whatsoever. The purchaser is deemed to have inspected the lots and satisfied himself as to their condition.

13)

Commission Bids. If instructed, the auctioneers will execute bids and advise prospective purchasers. This service is free. Lots will always be purchased as cheaply as is allowed by such other bids and reserves as are on the auctioneer’s books. In the event of identical bids, the earliest will take precedence. There must always be a maximum limit indicated, ie the amount to which you would bid if you were attending the auction yourself. "Buy" or unlimited bids will not be accepted.

Commission bids placed by telephone are accepted at the client’s risk. We do accept commission bids by facsimile and email, providing they are accompanied by full name and address details. We urge our clients to place such commission bids within one hour of the close of the view day.

14)

Telephone Bids. Requests for telephone bidding must be registered with the Accounts department within one hour of the close of the view day. It may not be possible to accept requests on sale days.

Written confirmation of such bids from persons unknown to the auctioneers must be received before the commencement of the sale. Whilst every effort will be made to execute telephone bidding, the auctioneers cannot be held responsible for any default or neglect in connection with this service. All such arrangements therefore are made entirely at the prospective buyer’s risk.

15)

Collection of Goods. All vehicles must be collected by 2.30 pm on the Monday following the sale.

Vehicles not collected by this time will be removed to a compound at a cost of £70.00 + VAT per vehicle. Storage charges will then be levied at £10.00 per vehicle per day or part thereof.

Motorcycles not collected by 2.30 pm on the Monday following the sale will be removed to our head office in Sherborne at a cost of £30.00 + VAT per motorcycle. Lots will only be released to the buyer or their authorised representative upon presentation of release notes issued by Charterhouse and settlement of any removal, handling and storage charges due. Purchasers are reminded that each lot shall be the purchasers sole risk from the fall of the hammer. Buyers should be aware that no lots will remain at the auction site after 2.30 pm on the Monday following the sale.

16)

Third Party Liability. Every person on the auctioneers’ premises before, during or after a sale, shall be deemed to be there at their own risk and shall have no claim against the auctioneer or owner of the auction premises in respect of any injury they may sustain or any accident which may occur.
