Now an extremely rare model (due to ‘tin worm’ and banger racers!), this Cresta E has survived well; the care and attention of previous owners has clearly paid off.  The bodywork and underside are described as good and we understand that a respray was carried out in 1994, but does now have some imperfections (an honest vendor - the best sort!). The brightwork and original chrome are also said to be good and while the interior has been freshened up with new carpets, the original headlining is excellent and the rear seat is in good order. The front seats could be improved on and the clock does not work at present, but all other instrumentation is in functioning order. The original type tyres are fitted with white walls.

Mechanically, we are told that there are no issues: the brakes have been overhauled and the engine has had a recent rebuild. The Cresta runs well and is apparently lovely to drive; believed to be one of just six survivors, it is a sight to behold.

The history file includes images and three note books that previous owners have filled with notes on maintenance, together with invoices, the V5C registration certificate and continuous MOT test certificates to confirm the low mileage.

Athelhampton House Near Dorchester, Dorset, DT2 7LG

1971 LEYLAND LEOPARD ALEXANDER BUS

Registration Number: RSD 732J

Chassis Number: 7003130

Mileage: 213200

Guide Price: £12500 - 13500

Road Tax Exempt

This 1971 Alexander bodied fifty-three seater Leyland Leopard was originally in service with Western Scottish in Ayrshire. It was purchased by an enthusiast in 2007, who used it under PSV status for local tours and events. Its most recent owner acquired the Leopard in 2014, using it privately for outings and family weddings.

Currently registered as 'Historic Vehicle', the bus has a ‘Class 5’ MOT test certificate, allowing it to be used privately. We are informed that it would be relatively easy to restore the PSV status if desired, as an old PSV test certificate, along with its COIF (Certificate of initial fitness) are included in the file, together with the V5C registration certificate.

In recent years, The Leyland has benefited from the installation of an upgraded cab heater, a 12v socket and hazard warning lights. The vendor informs us that it had a complete respray in its original livery in 2015, and having a body combination of aluminium and fibre glass, thankfully, corrosion is not an issue. A new exhaust manifold has recently been fitted, together with two replacement batteries.

We understand that the bus drives well, is very reliable and is in good condition throughout with no known faults. The original seating is in good order (with some fabric repairs carried out), the flooring is original cork and the inside roof trim is clean and tidy.

As well as the aforementioned paperwork, the sale also includes three spare wheels and tyres and a full (two-part) replacement windscreen.

DORSET CLASSIC & CLASSIC AUCTIONS

Thursday 13th September 2018

(Viewing  Wednesday 12th 2pm -6pm from 9am day of sale)

Athelhampton House Near Dorchester, Dorset, DT2 7LG

 

1936 AUSTIN 10/4 COLWYN CABRIOLET

Registration Number: CHT 279

Chassis Number: 82329

MOT Test Expiry: Exempt

Guide Price: £11000 - 14000

Road Tax Exempt

This eighty-two year old Colwyn Cabriolet has been in the present ownership, an Austin Ten Driver’s Club member, for sixteen years and has clearly been well-looked after throughout that time. Affectionately known as Jezebel, it is described as being good throughout and comes with its original Bristol registration number. We are assured that the bodywork is sound and that the floor, chassis and underside are solid. The vendor tells us the paintwork is presentable, although there are some chips and signs of ‘rubbing down’, and the original brightwork could be improved on should the new owner wish. The original upholstery is worn, as one would expect, but does enhance the character of the motor car, and we understand that the otherwise serviceable hood has a small tear and an opaque rear window. Mechanically, the Austin is very good, benefitting from a reconditioned and overhauled replacement engine that was fitted in 2017 at a cost of £4000. The braking system was also overhauled at that time.

Lack of space and the marching on of time forces the sale of this pretty Austin 10/4, which is offered with a history file that includes the V5C registration certificate, a detailed invoice for the aforementioned engine overhaul, and a maintenance book for the model, together with a copy of an Austin Ten Driver’s Club valuation and report of the motor car, stating that CHT 279 is a ‘delightful example of a much sought after model in sound running order’ and ‘..the original interior adds much to the value of the car’.
