William Morris, later to be ennobled Lord Nuffield, launched his first Minor in 1928 as a direct competitor for Austin's Seven, powered by an 847cc single overhead cam motor developed by Wolseley. 39,087 ohc-engined Minor cars and commercials, and a further 47,231 vehicles with sidevalve motors were built. The first Minor was replaced by the new Eight at the 1934 London Show. During its five year production run, a total of 21,000 Eights were made at Cowley, 15 per cent of them being open tourers, though most saloons like this 1935-built example.

1935 Oldsmobile F-35 Touring Sedan

Coachwork by Fisher

Registration no. CLC 421

Chassis no. F203904

*Supplied new to the UK

*Right-hand drive

*Original registration mark

*Extensively refurbished over the last seven years

• "From top to tread, from front to rear, the Oldsmobile Six is a car in which you may take full pride and enjoyment, knowing you have all the features that make a car modern, safe and durable, at the very lowest cost for so much quality." – Oldsmobile, 1935.
  
  
  America's oldest manufacturer of automobiles up to the time of its demise in 2004, Oldsmobile had been founded in Lansing, Michigan in 1897 by Ransom Eli Olds, who had begun experimenting with powered transport in the late 1880s. Its first product was a single-cylinder runabout: the famous 'curved dash' Oldsmobile. By the time America entered WWI, Oldsmobile's range had expanded to include four-cylinder, six-cylinder, and V8-engined models.
  
  
  A company known for its technological innovation, Oldsmobile offered independent front suspension on its cars in 1934, a synchromesh transmission having been introduced two years previously, and this 'knee action' system was further refined on the completely restyled 1935 range. The '35 Oldsmobiles featured all-steel 'Turret Top' bodies by Fisher - much stiffer than the previous timber-framed designs - and in the case of the six-cylinder cars were powered by a 213ci (3½-litre) side-valve engine developing 90 horsepower. Other noteworthy features included Fisher's 'No Draft' ventilation, hydraulic brakes, a three-speed manual gearbox, and a rear anti-roll bar. Priced at $820, the four-door Touring Sedan was the most expensive six-cylinder model on offer in 1935.
  
  
  This rare right-hand drive Oldsmobile F-35 was first registered in November 1935 as 'CLC 421' (a London mark) and carries a plaque on the dashboard showing that it was supplied by Rawlence Cars Ltd of 39 Sackville St, W1. The immediately preceding owner - proprietor of a respected classic car restoration company - purchased the Oldsmobile in 2012 because of its resemblance to a 'Turret Top' Hudson his father had once owned. The car has since been treated to a bare-metal re-spray, while other works carried out over the last seven years include overhauls of the engine and braking system and re-plating of brightwork, etc. Trimmed in brown, the spacious interior features a valve radio and opening front and rear quarter-lights. Worthy of the closest inspection, this stylish classic American is ready to enjoy.

FEATURED AUCTION

1935 SINGER NINE LE MANS 'SPEED'

Lot Number	126
Registration	BYT 842
Chassis Number	62688
Engine Number	58220
Odometer reading	30,860 miles
Estimate	£19,000 - £23,000

The success of the Nine Sport at Le Mans led immediately to the introduction, in 1933, of the first Le Mans model. This was the two-seater equivalent of the Nine Sports and it typified the British sports car of the 1930s. At a price of £215, an output of 34hp and a top speed of over 70mph with the windshield lowered, it provided keen competition for its closest rivals, the J2 and P series MG's. The Le Mans four-cylinder performance engine of 972cc included high lift harmonic cams, a counterbalanced crankshaft and an extra-large capacity ribbed oil sump for greater cooling capacity. Body changes included the addition of an externally mounted 12-gallon slab fuel tank, fitted with a quick action filler cap and twin rear-mounted spare tyres to complete the competition look.

This attractive Le Mans Speed sports tourer from Coventry has benefitted from a lifetime of routine maintenance and only shows three previous owners. In 2009, a full and comprehensive overhaul of the car was completed, this included rebuilds of both the steering box and gearbox and an engine rebuild by the Singer workshop was also completed at this time. The bodywork was refreshed with a full respray in the original colour of royal blue and the wheels were re-wired and re-chromed by the specialist firm, Ashley Motors, in Hampshire. Representing the most desirable specification of the marque, this MoT test certificate exempt Singer Nine is offered to auction with a V5C registration document and full weather equipment.

1935 Morgan Super Sports

Registration no. BLP 831

Chassis no. D1327

*Desirable Super Sports model

*High-performance JAP engine

*Apparently good condition

*Offered for re-commissioning

• Its superior power-to-weight ratio enabled H F S Morgan's humble, three-wheeled cyclecar to outperform many a larger-engined four-wheeler, and its maker was not slow to capitalise on his creation's competition potential. A Gold Medal in the 1911 London-Exeter-London Reliability Trial with Morgan himself driving was followed by victory in the inaugural cyclecar race at Brooklands the following year, Harry Martin taking the chequered flag three minutes ahead of the field. Racetrack successes led directly to road-going spin-off in the form of the Grand Prix model, introduced for 1914. The first Aero sports model, inspired by the Grand Prix, followed immediately after WWI. Subsequent technological developments included the fitting of front brakes, operated by a hand lever, from 1924 and the adoption of a new chassis - the M-type - on the new Super Sports model in 1928. This new chassis was some 2½" lower than its predecessor and undoubtedly helped Morgans trounce the opposition at the New Cyclecar Club's meeting at Brooklands later that year. In 1931 a conventional three-speeds-plus-reverse gearbox was introduced and the model name abbreviated to simply 'Super Sports', the old two-speed transmission disappearing soon after. Morgan used a variety of proprietary engines over the years, though its favoured supplier was usually J A Prestwich (JAP) of Tottenham, North London. From the mid-1930s onwards, though, Morgan three-wheelers, like George Brough's superlative motorcycles, were fitted with Matchless v-twin engines in preference to those from JAP.
  
  
  Sadly, its owner having died, there was very little information available regarding this JAP-powered Morgan Super Sports. The only documentation consists of an old-style V5 and an old-style continuation logbook, the latter recording that the late owner acquired the Morgan in 1973. The engine number recorded is 'MX4 739', indicating that a Matchless engine was fitted originally. Nothing is known of the mechanical condition of this car, which accordingly is sold strictly as viewed.
