1933 WOLSELEY HORNET SIX LIGHT SALOON - Dorset Vintage & Classic Auctions Thursday 9th September 2021 The Old Gas Works, Station Road, Stalbridge, Dorset, DT10 2RH

              

 
Welcome back to Classic Chatter and our look at what is coming to auction in the UK.
It's been a difficult time for everyone over the last 18 months but the future looks better and we all hope normality is just around the corner.

OUR FEATURED AUCTION

Dorset Vintage & Classic Auctions
Thursday 9th September 2021
The Old Gas Works, Station Road, Stalbridge, Dorset, DT10 2RH


1933 WOLSELEY HORNET SIX LIGHT SALOON
Registration No: LJ 7263
Chassis No: 503/91
Engine No: 67091A
MOT & Tax Exempt
Guide Price: £8,000-£10,000




Wolseley Hornets were particularly successful in pre-war sporting events and indeed remain so to the present day, giving other marques such as MG, Riley, Singer and the sporting Austin serious competition. Sadly many Hornet saloons were converted to racing specials, making any remaining saloon somewhat of a rarity.

Here we are pleased to offer a really genuine and original six-light saloon, a museum piece indeed, finished in its original green and black coachwork with equally original green interior with leather seats, matching carpets, the original headlining and some lovely Art Deco refinements. The motor car was in its previous ownership for almost forty years, giving a total of only five custodians (two of which were one family), and it has clearly been carefully conserved throughout its eighty-eight-year history.

The first owner was Patricia Shaw of Barclays Bank Ltd, Bournemouth. In 1936 the Wolseley passed to Lt. Col Altham Moulton Barrett of the Dorset Regiment, a nephew of the famed poet Elizabeth Barrett-Browning. Myrtle Barrett-Browning then became its third custodian and apparently would not sell the motor car to the National Motor Museum due to a land dispute. In 1983 Mr Farmer of Oxfordshire became the new owner and he clearly looked after it well but used it very little.

The original 1280cc six-cylinder single overhead cam engine is retained with a manual four-speed gearbox and the motor car sits on her original Magna wire wheels with four recently renewed tyres. Attention has also been recently given to the replacement of the piston rings, handbrake cable and new petrol pump.

A current V5C registration certificate comes with the Hornet, together with an old RF60 and an instruction manual.

LJ 7263 makes a terrific statement through its own presence, self-evident in the lovely original patina throughout and its fantastic recorded social history.

1984 Bentley Mulsanne Turbo - DORSET VINTAGE & CLASSIC aUCTIONS Thursday 24th October 2019 Henstridge Airfield Henstridge, Somerset, BA8 0TN DVCA.CO.UK



FEATURED AUCTION


DORSET VINTAGE & CLASSIC aUCTIONS
Thursday 24th October 2019
Henstridge Airfield
Henstridge, Somerset, BA8 0TN
DVCA.CO.UK
  


Distinctive Registration Number Included

1984 Bentley Mulsanne Turbo

Registration Number: A6 SKR

Chassis Number: SCBZS0T07ECH10098
Engine Number: 10098
Transmission: Automatic
Steering: Right Hand Drive
MOT Test Expiry: 19 September 2020
Mileage: 97530
Guide Price: £5000 - 6000



Lot No: 229
Named after the fastest straight at Le Mans, Bentley’s original generation of Mulsanne motor cars teamed luxurious comfort and excellent performance from a Rolls-Royce 6.75 litre V8. The Garrett AiResearch turbocharger increased the power by a further 50% in the Mulsanne Turbo which arrived in 1983.
We are assured that this 1984 Turbo example is in good running order and drives very well. The vendor states that it has no known mechanical faults but cosmetically, it could be in both the paintwork and interior departments. However, the motor car certainly has advantages: four new Avon have recently been fitted, the current MOT test certificate expires in September 2020 and the private registration number is included in the sale. The hub caps are currently stowed away in the boot but will require a replacement key to be refitted.
The Mulsanne is supplied with the V5C registration certificate, the original handbook and wallet, the aforementioned MOT test certificate and sundry paperwork. An inexpensive entry into Bentley motoring.
Auction Date: 24 October 2019
