1999 [1989] Royale Sabre

Registration No: G942 BBM

Chassis No:  RS1297021

Guide Price: £12,000 - £15,000

• Presented in Turquoise over Orange as a tribute to the Delahaye 135M Cabriolet
• Offered with 3 folders of documentation including built instructions, wiring diagrams, spare parts list and invoices totalling over £15,000
• Displays just 2 former keepers on the V5 Document

The Royale Motor Co was founded by one of the UK’s foremost kit car design talents, John Barlow, in 1990. His second model, the Sabre appeared in 1994. This was a sporty two-seater convertible with the chassis and drive technology of the Ford Scorpio or Sierra. From this model, which was offered by other manufacturers have recently emerged so far about 260 copies

Completed in June 1999, G942 BBM was created as a homage to the Delahaye 135M Cabriolet and was initially based on a 1989 Ford Sierra 2.0 GL with 5spd manual gearbox and features 2 pack polyurethane acrylic paint with flexible additives to reduce crazing. The vehicle received further improvements in November 2000 with the use of parts from a 1990 Ford Sierra GLS including a DOHC injected engine, power steering and all-around disc brakes.

G942 BBM has recently benefited from the radiator being re-cored in May 2021 and is offered alongside 3 folders of documentation including built instructions, wiring diagrams, spare parts list and invoices totalling over £15,000. In addition, the vehicle is registered as a Royale Convertible on the V5 document, which also shows just 2 former keepers. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork, transmission and gearbox and interior trim all as ‘Very Good.'

1932 Talbot 14/45 Scout Tourer

Registration No: RH 5145

Chassis No: 30831

Guide Price: £15,000-£20,000

MOT & Tax Exempt

• Current family ownership since 2011
• Originally bodied as a Saloon and understood to have been supplied new to Sir Rufus Isaac (The Victory of India)
• Rebodied to a Tourer body style in the 1970s while residing in Vancouver, Canada
• The beneficiary of approximately £5,800 worth of expenditure with Talbot specialist I.S. Polson in 2019-20

While the British Talbot was part of the larger Anglo-French Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq organisation, it was struggling to stay in business when Georges Roesch, a Swiss automotive engineer, returned to the company in 1925. Worked under Louis Coatalen in the 1920s at the Talbot Motor Works in North Kensington, to develop an innovative six-cylinder push-rod engine, Roesch’s return transformed the business's prospects. The resulting Talbot 14/45 engine went into production in 1927, leading to a successful run of type AD, AF, AG, AQ, AU, AU65 and AX 65 vehicles – in total over 10,000 cars.

This 14/45 Roesch Talbot was manufactured in 1932 and was originally bodied as a Saloon which is thought to have been supplied new to Sir Rufus Isaac (who served as the Lord Chief Justice of England, Viceroy of India, and Foreign Secretary). Fitted with the 1666cc straight-six engine mated to the four-speed manual gearbox, the Talbot was rebodied in the 1970s with a Tourer style body selected, by which time it was residing in Vancouver, Canada. Repatriated in 1991, the 14/45 entered into current family ownership in 2011.

The beneficiary of a comprehensive engine overhaul in the mid-2000s, the Talbot was provided with servicing and a SU-conversion (completed by S. E. Lloyd) in 2011 upon entering the current family custodianship. Further the subject of approximately £5,800 worth of expenditure with Talbot specialist I. S. Polson in 2019-20, the Talbot is accompanied for sale by a large history file which comprises numerous past MOT certificates; a large selection of previous invoices dating back to the 1970s; a copy of past logbook and a current V5C.

1925 DONNET-ZEDEL G2 SALOON

Registration Number: BF 7075

Chassis No: 18463-59108

Engine No: 18669

MOT & Tax Exempt

Founded in 1919 and all but forgotten now, Donnet-Zedel had grown to become France's fourth-largest motor manufacturer by 1927. Formerly engaged in the manufacture of flying boats, Jérôme Donnet purchased Automobiles Zedel of Pontarlier to create the Donnet-Zedel marque, whose first offering was the CI-6, a pre-war Zedel design. In 1925 the firm introduced the highly successful Type G, a 1,098cc four-cylinder light car, which was built in considerable numbers in the former Donnet aircraft factory at Gennevilliers, Seine. With the sale of Zedel's old factory at Pontarlier in 1928, the Donnet-Zedel name was dropped.

Hit by the Depression-like so many of its contemporaries, Donnet continued to build cars, albeit in declining numbers, until the firm ceased production in December 1934. Its Nanterre factory was then sold to Henri-Théodore Pigozzi, who commenced production of built-under-licence FIATs under the SIMCA name.

Offered here is a charming French saloon car that has benefited from a 'ground upwards' restoration carried out in the late 1980s/early 1990s. More recent works have included fitting new tyres; replacing the clutch; fitting new upgraded brake shoes, and overhauling the steering box. Everything works and the car comes with a history file containing invoices for recent works totalling £6,000. The original dynamo and carburettor are included in the sale together with a bespoke distributor conversion kit that was specially made for the car.

Please note the V5C records the chassis number as 59108 and not 18463 as on the chassis plate.

1948 Jaguar Mark IV  3.5 Litre DHC

Registration No: HWR 875

Chassis No: 617175

Engine No: 54459

Odometer Reading 18,532

MOT & Tax Exempt

Told by the post-war government to 'export or die', the British motor industry responded valiantly, none more so than Jaguar, soon to become the UK's biggest US dollar earner. Indeed, Jaguar's Mark IV drophead coupé was built almost exclusively for export, the majority being allocated to the USA. Production spanned little more than a year (1947-1948) during which only 184 Mark IV 3½-Litre drophead coupés were built in right-hand drive configuration plus a further 317 LHD cars, 49 of which were delivered in 'Complete Knocked Down (CKD) form.

In his definitive book on the marque: SS & Jaguar Cars, written in association with Jaguar Heritage using their detailed archives, Allan Crouch states that there are only 46 right-hand drive 3½-Litre drophead coupés left in the world, making this exclusive variant among the rarest of all Jaguar's post-WW2 production cars.

This 3½-litre Mark IV was in pristine working order when it was purchased by the current owners in 1982 following its 'Car of the Year' award at London's Earls Court Motor Show. Over the course of the last 39 years, the Jaguar has been maintained and kept in running order, including extensive work in 2003 that included a complete engine overhaul and a new exhaust system. More recently the clutch was replaced, since when the Mark IV has been used for a number of family weddings. It has seen very little use in recent times and is sold strictly as viewed.
