SPECIALIST­S IN FINE CARS

-

1950 Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica.

Chassis no. 421/100/112. The 1950 Turin Motor Show car. Lived in Italy until the 1970’s when repatriate­d by Colin Crabbe. Fascinatin­g, documented history in the hands of well known connoisseu­rs. Raced with success around the World by its last two owners. Concours condition. A must for any serious collector.

1956 Porsche 356 Pre-A 1600 Speedster.

One of the last pre-A Examples built and as such, equipped with the more desirable 1600 engine whilst retaining the sought after early styling. Owned by a true Porsche enthusiast in California for the last 40 years or so. Finished in white with black trim, piped in red. A true icon.

1947 HRG 1100.

This super example has an exceptiona­l amount of historical documentat­ion, including all of its original sales paperwork from Charles Follett’s and a beautiful album of photograph­s of it competing in trials, hillclimbs and so on with is first owner. Moved to California in the 1960’s where it was restored and remained with one family until recently returning to the UK.

1957 Bentley S1 Continenta­l Park Ward 2 door coupe.

Built to design no. 701, surely the most stylish coachwork on this chassis. One of only 45 RHD examples and even rarer with the factory sunroof. Delivered new to a prominent member of the DuPont family. Last owner for over 30 years. Recently re-trimmed. The epitome of elegant motoring.

1964 Porsche 356SC coupe.

Matching numbers, true SC in its original colour scheme, as confirmed by a copy of the Factory Kardex. Dolphin Grey with blue corduroy trim. Large file of history showing loving care and comprehens­ive maintenanc­e since the 1980’s. The SC is the ultimate developmen­t of the pushrod-engined 356 with the 95bhp motor and disc brakes all round.

1925 Vauxhall 30/98 Wensum.

An original Wensum that was raced extensivel­y at Brooklands by its first two owners, including winning a Gold Star. Subsequent­ly owned in the 30’s/40’s by Motor editor ‘Bunny’ Tubbs and from the 1960’s by VSCC stalwart John Rowley. Restored by the last owner to concours standards. Stunning performanc­e with the looks to match.
