1963 Triumph Herald 13/50 - HISTORICS AUCTIONS Saturday 25th September 2021 Ascot Racecourse, High Street, Ascot Berkshire SL5 7JX

 

OUR FEATURED AUCTION

HISTORICS AUCTIONS

Saturday 25th September 2021

Ascot Racecourse, High Street, Ascot

Berkshire SL5 7JX

1963 Triumph Herald 13/50

Registration No: 773 FSK

Chassis No: GD4077RS

Engine No: GD-3639-H.E

No Reserve

Standard-Triumph launched the Herald in 1959 as a replacement for its ageing Standard 8/10 models. It bucked the trend towards monocoque construction by featuring a separate chassis to which the main tub was bolted. The one-piece front end folded forwards to provide optimum access to the engine and suspension, while all outer panels, including the roof, could be unbolted for easy repair. The design made for the ready adoption of alternative body styles and saloon, coupé, convertible, estate and van derivatives were all offered during the models 12-year reign with production numbers exceeding 300,000.

Presented in British Racing Green and having been owned by our vendor since 1992, this lovely privately owned example was fully restored between 1993 and 1999 and the history file contains all the details and photos of the ground-up restoration, beginning with a new chassis in 1993. Starley Garage, Brighton (grandson of the original Star Motor Company, Wolverhampton 1898-1932) performed the majority of the restoration culminating in a total body respray.

We are informed the car is always garaged and has covered only 4,000 miles since the initial restoration and is regularly used on sunny days and fully maintained with no expense spared. Described as mechanically extremely sound with a new blueprint Rimmer Bros engine fitted in July 2002 and with only 3,300 miles completed since, multiple upgrades carried out at this point included electric cooling fan, halogen conversion headlights, heater overhaul, replacement gearbox, differential overhaul, new twin carburettors and fittings and twin stainless steel exhaust system. Boasting a full Webasto sunroof, all internal seats and black carpeting are in excellent condition with the addition of new door and window rubber seals. The respray is now over twenty years old and the paintwork requires some attention but that is reflected in the guide price. A full list of all purchased items, continuing maintenance items and upgraded, fuel, brake and engine hoses are included. The car has excellent tyres and spare. This is an affordable, practical everyday classic, running on unleaded fuel and is easily able to keep up with today’s traffic conditions.

1937 Bentley Park Ward Saloon 4.5 Litre - HISTORICS AUCTIONS Saturday 25th September 2021 Ascot Racecourse, High Street, Ascot

 

 

OUR FEATURED AUCTION

HISTORICS AUCTIONS

Saturday 25th September 2021

Ascot Racecourse, High Street, Ascot

Berkshire SL5 7JX

1937 Bentley Park Ward Saloon 4.5 Litre

Registration No: ELR 493

Chassis No: B71KU

Engine No: M7BA

Estimate: £75,00-£90,000

Originally owned by Sir Ralph Richardson
Presents in splendid condition
Great history folder

When Rolls-Royce bought Bentley Motors, they shut down production of the 8 and 4½ litre. They then had to decide what to do with the Bentley name as they couldn't afford to alienate their customer base and not build a new Bentley. The question was what sort of car to build; after several false starts, the Experimental Department developed a prototype car based on an earlier 18hp experimental chassis called the 'Peregrine' and a suitably tweaked 20/25hp engine; this combination proved to be a winner. Launched in 1933, the first of what would become known as the 'Derby Bentleys' continued the marque's sporting associations. The 'Silent Sportscar', as it was quickly dubbed, had few peers and as a tireless long-distance tourer, it combined traditional Rolls-Royce refinement with Bentley performance and handling. In 1936 the 4¼ litre model was offered with more power than the 3½ litre while retaining the well-proven chassis and servo-assisted brakes.

This delightfully handsome Derby Bentley has coachworks by Park Ward and is finished in the striking colour combination of Primrose and black with beige leather interior. The first owner of the car was the A-list actor Sir Ralph Richardson who starred in the films Dr. Zhivago and The Battle of Britain, a painting of Sir Ralph comes with the car. A recent front suspension overhaul costing over £8,000 has been carried out to ensure she rides beautifully on the road. This Bentley started immediately when requested and the 4¼ litre engine sounded superb, we are advised she drives exceptionally well on the road with brakes that function correctly and radiator slats that operate as they should via a thermostat and mechanical lever that open the slats to aid temperature cooling as and when required. This Park Ward Sports Saloon has a sunroof allowing the sun to flood in to both front and rear passengers. The brightwork is in exceptional condition as is the interior. The paintwork has a couple of blemishes although nothing that detracts from the presence of this magnificent Derby Bentley, for a car that is 84 years old the condition is remarkable. Supplied with a V5C registration document, there are four history folders with many receipts for work carried out. There is also a full set of workshop manuals and driver’s handbook, together with a copy of the factory build sheets. This well looked after example can be used reliably and with confidence.

Viewing is recommended to appreciate the quality of this iconic Bentley.

1967 RENAULT 10 ALCONI - BARONS CLASSIC CAR AUCTIONS 24th September 2021 at Sandown Park Racecourse

              OUR FEATURED AUCTION

BARONS CLASSIC CAR AUCTIONS
24th September 2021 at Sandown Park Racecourse

Jaguar Heritage, Classic and Sports Cars Sale

1967 RENAULT 10 ALCONI

Registration No: To Be Registered

Chassis No: 6610748

MOT & Tax Exempt

Colour: Blue

Guide Price £13,500-£17,000

The Renault Alconi was a performance version of the Renault 8 and 10 sold by Renault (Africa) Ltd, a subsidiary of the French Regie Renault Factory. They were sold new through the Renault dealer network in South Africa between 1965 and 1970 and came with a full factory warranty. The concept was intended to increase car sales to a racing mad South African public by taking advantage of their race-track successes in local "Sprint" and "Endurance" races. A total of 458 factory Alconis were made, along with hundreds of conversion kits to allow owners to modify their existing cars, but only the official cars were supplied with ‘Alconi’ badges on the front wing.

The car was developed specifically for the motorsport-mad South African market and was the brainchild of John Conchie and Eric 'Puddles' Adler, who traded as "Alconi Developments" – a mixture of their surnames. It helped Renault increase its sales in SA and also market a whole range of Alconi performance upgrades, making the car something of a legend in its home market where R10 Touring Cars had won a series of production car championships.

Production of the Alconi started in batches of 50 R10s. Standard R10s were marketed with the Renault 1108cc Caravelle engine, with slightly better performance from a twin-choke Weber carburettor. The production Alconis used the same upgrade kit on the newer R10 1108cc engine but retained the production carburettor, and the vehicle was slightly lower (1 inch) than its standard brother.  Colour choices were initiated: Alconi blue with white flashes down the sides, Red with white flashes and white with red flashes.  Production continued through 1967 and 1968 and possibly 1969.

A 1973 Renault 10 Alconi. This is a very rare car, 1 of 458, that was only built in South Africa, and as quick as a 1300cc Renault 10 Gordini. This car has just come in from South Africa and is in very good condition having had a concours re-build 15 years ago. There is a copy of a letter by the original owner who owned it from new until 2005, and there seems to have been only two other owners, in which he lists its early history and specification. It appears that the engine was bored out from its original 1106cc to 1206cc, a "hot 701 camshaft" fitted, the twin-choke Weber was uprated from a 32 to a 36, a tubular exhaust fitted, and adjustable shock absorbers (probably Koni) fitted all round.
