1924 DELAHAYE TYPE 97 ‘DOUBLE PHAETON SKIFF’

Chassis No: N24484
Estimate: £30,000 - £40,000


During WWI, Delahaye manufactured military trucks, FN rifles and parts for Hispano-Suiza aero engines. Two-bearing crankshafts were a feature of many Delahaye engine designs of this period, including one of its first post-war offerings, the Type 84, which was powered by a 2.9-litre side-valve four.
The successor Type 84N gained a ball bearing crank before being replaced towards the end of 1924 by the Type 92, the 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine of which employed a more conventional three-bearing bottom end.
Recently returning from a 1,000-mile round-trip to the Angouleme ‘Circuit des Remparts’ races in France, this wonderful Labourdtette styled Delahaye Type 97 is in excellent condition throughout.
Having clearly been worked on by very skilled craftsmen and mechanics over the years, most recently a completely new stainless-steel exhaust system was fitted so the car is well and truly ready for its next custodian.
All in all, this car is fabulously evocative, wonderfully conceived and constructed in the charming style of the period.

1961 MORRIS MINI MINOR - COYS AUCTIONS TRUE GREATS SALE The Lindley Hall, Elverton St, London SW1P 2QW Wednesday 4th Dec 2019

1961 MORRIS MINI MINOR
Registration No: WSL 757
Estimate: £17,000 - £20,000


On its introduction in August 1959, the Mini was marketed under the Austin and Morris names, as the Austin Seven and Morris Mini-Minor. The Austin Seven was renamed Austin Mini in January 1962 and Mini became a marque in its own right in 1969. The early Mini’s have become particularly sought after with early examples difficult to find in original condition.
This superb example of the early floor start Morris Mini is showing a remarkable 6,700 miles on the odometer having spent a vast majority of its life in storage. Owned by an elderly lady from new it was used for short runs to the shops before being consigned to her garage when she was no longer able to drive. It is said that she bequeathed the car to her builder in the 90’s in lieu of payment for some work carried out as he wanted to restore the car.
Unfortunately, the gentleman fell ill and it remained in his garage until the current owner purchased the car in 2015.
The owner then set about a complete bare metal documented restoration by professional restoration business while maintaining many original features. The engine and gearbox have been rebuilt while the interior remains original. An exceptionally rare find and a truly wonderful piece of British motoring history, this car is well worth a look.

1990 PORSCHE 928GT
Registration No: H783 BGH
Estimate: £17,000 - £20,000


Porsche’s intended replacement for the 911 may not have achieved that particular goal, but it wasn’t for a lack of performance or technological wizardry.  An alloy V8 was attached to a rear-mounted gearbox, and the galvanised body had aluminium doors and bonnet, plus body-coloured plastic bumpers. The 928 was launched to a fanfare and surprised many by being named European Car of the Year, an award that traditionally went to worthy, but dull, family hatchbacks. Critics immediately recognised the advances inherent in the 928 over the 911, and the car was universally praised as one of the greatest ‘GT’ cars of all time.  
It handled, it was quick, it looked fantastic and it was comfortable. With the 928, Porsche created a serious long-distance grand-touring car that could also tackle twisting B-roads with ease, thanks to super-direct steering, 50/50 weight distribution and a clever Weissach rear axle that kept the car firmly planted.  1989 saw further development with the launch of the GT model, featuring a more powerful 5.0-litre V8 capable of 326bhp, but more importantly, the introduction of a 5-speed manual gearbox for those who wanted a more sporty driving experience.
This model also featured twin exhausts, uprated camshafts, and sports suspension – the ultimate 928. The standard specification already included fully electric seats and mirrors, climate control and tyre pressure monitoring. Furthermore, this car particular benefits from factory-fitted options including an electric sunroof, heated seats, side protection strip, top-tinted windscreen and Blaupunkt Paris radio with 10 speaker system.
Originally supplied in Germany (August 1990) the current vendor bought the car in 2007 he took it back to the original dealer in Germany (Porsche Centre Osnabrück) to have any minor details on the car put back to its original condition, down to the replacement of the cigarette lighter! During his ownership the car has been regularly maintained by Paul Anderson and Jaz Porsche The car has always been taxed and the full record of MOT reports, tax discs and service invoices are available in the file along with original handbooks, service book and the toolkit is also present and correct. A superb Grand Tourer and an opportunity not to be missed.
