RICHARD EDMONDS
AUCTIONEERS
Sale of Vintage & Classic Cars, Motorcycles
Saturday 19th October 2019
Event field next to Allington Farmshop, 
just off the A420, SN14 6L


1930 Morgan Super Aero
Reg. no. VA 9916
Chassis no. M210
Engine no. Unknown
Chassis number M210 left the Morgan factory in June 1930 for Frank Spouse, the Morgan agent in Glasgow, to then be registered in November as VA 9916. The car then stayed in Scotland for 86 years. The car is believed to have been laid up during the war years, returning to the road in 1947 powered by a 1925 Anzani engine; it is not known why the car lost the Jap engine. Having been sold several times, this Morgan was then taken off the road in 1952. Following the death of its owner, the Morgan returned to England and restoration began. An appropriate dog-eared Jap engine was sourced for the car. Restoration has included new woodwork, a new beetle back and skirt, new bevel-box bushes, new crown wheel/pinion, new input shaft wheels and brakes etc. The engine has had a new big end, new front and rear shafts, new pistons, cams, valves and guides etc. Over the last couple of years, a lot of time and money has been spent on the car and now there isn’t a huge amount of work to complete the restoration. This is a very genuine Super Aero, one of the most sought after of Morgans.
Extra details and estimates:
£21,000 - 23,000

FEATURED AUCTION

Property of a deceased's estate

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.
