By order of the executors of the late David J Picking1960 Aston Martin DB4GT CoupéRegistration no. 36 HYLChassis no. DB4GT/0113/REngine no. 370/113/GT*Family ownership since 1966*Sold new to Gilby Engineering*Matching chassis, engine and gearbox numbers to factory build sheet *Part restored: body and chassis restored by Bodylines Limited*Executor sale and conservatively estimated Footnotes:'The Aston Martin DB4GT is a stupendous high-performance car which is yet sufficiently tractable for everyday use even in the thick of city traffic. It looks the thoroughbred that it is, and must be placed high on the list of the world's most desirable Grand Touring cars.' – John Bolster, Autosport.The Aston Martin DB4GT offered here, chassis number '0113/R', was sold new to Gilby Engineering and acquired by the late David Picking in November 1966 from a Mr J J Evans of Wembley (bill of sale on file and illustrated here). Gilby Engineering was a renowned British general engineering company owned by Syd Greene. Partially disabled (he had one arm) Greene fed his passion for motor racing by founding a team, which later constructed the Gilby racing car for Syd's son Keith to drive. The team made its debut in the 1954 French Grand Prix at Reims with a Maserati 250F driven by Roy Salvadori, who also drove for Gilby in 1955 and 1956. Gilby Engineering entered 12 Formula 1 World Championship Grands Prix, including six with cars of their own construction. The team's last outing was the 1962 Italian Grand Prix at Monza.This car's entry in the large format and exquisitely presented book 'The Aston Martin DB4GT' published by Palawan Press (compiled and researched by Stephen Archer and Richard A Candee) lists a further five owners including David Picking, although the noted date of his acquisition is incorrect. The entry goes on to state: 'The GT is most likely to have been the road car of founder Syd Greene or his son Keith'.'0113/R' retains its original gearbox and engine block with correct numbers visible. The factory's DB4 engine ledger states engine 0113 as having block no. 433 and this is clearly visible on the rear elevation of the engine block. The motor car is offered in a semi-restored and dismantled state, having been off the road since the 1980s. The chassis and body were restored by noted marque specialists Bodylines in 2010 and now finished in the original colour of Snow Shadow Grey. The original red-leather seats were sent to The Leather Conservation Centre based at Northampton University Campus around the same time for restorative conservation. The engine would appear to have been rebuilt in 1983, by David Picking himself, and the car has been off the road since then, as demonstrated by correspondence on file regarding insurance and the engine rebuild. The intention was for David Picking to reassemble the car.It is not possible to definitively determine the completeness of the car, although in our opinion we believe it is near complete and aware there is no windscreen. Early and private viewing is available to fully inspect '0113' and interested parties are welcome to contact the department to arrange an appointment.David Picking used his 'GT' very much as the company's marketing department envisaged: as a Gran Turismo. He undertook numerous trips across Europe, to the Alps and Mediterranean Coast, including an AMOC trip to the Continent in 1975. A keen restorer of classic cars when not touring, David was a dedicated engineer with extensive design experience in precision machine tools, aircraft structures, and production facilities, as well as having wide planning experience in oil and gas, biogas, pharmaceutical, rail and defence industries. David was also passionate about flying gliders and powered aircraft, owning his own Beagle and being a member of the Civilian Technical Instructor Air Training Corps. Interestingly, the rear screen of the DB4GT has an affixed CUGC sticker (Cambridge University Gliding Club) where he was a member for a number of years from the 1970s. He built his own workshop, carrying out the design and manufacture of prototype equipment for the MoD and manufacturing specialised parts for British aircraft.This almost forgotten DB4GT comes with an extensive file containing assorted correspondence; copy guarantee form; photographs from the 1960s-1980s; receipts for parts acquired from Aston Services Dorset and the factory at Newport Pagnell; and other paperwork including the V5 registration document, old MoTs (1966 and 1968) and the coveted acquisition bill of sale from 1966 for the then princely sum of £825... That may seem modest today but in 1966 the average salary was £798 and a house £2,000.David Picking passed away earlier in 2020 and, having been in the family for some 54 years and off the road for over 30 years, his much-loved DB4GT now comes to market by order of the executors.To view a video of this lot please click hereFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1953 Alvis TC21 3-Litre Cabriolet SportCoachwork by Carrosserie GraberRegistration no. JSU 357Chassis no. 25255*The ex-Geneva Motor Show*One of only six TC21 convertibles bodied by Graber*First registered in Switzerland*An older restoration*Present ownership for 35 years*Good history fileFootnotes:'The Alvis has never been an ordinary car for the masses, but a mount for the sporting and discerning driver interested in a quality product, and in a car that still looks like a car and is ruggedly built. By this it is not meant that the 3-litre is old fashioned; far from it, for the chassis is in fact as advanced as most.' – Autocar on the Alvis 3-Litre, 1952. Alvis recommenced production after WW2 with a single-model range little altered from that of 1939, the 12/70 - first introduced in 1938 - re-appearing as the TA14, the most obvious difference being the adoption of steel disc wheels in place of wires. An uncomplicated, separate-chassis design, the TA14 was powered by an overhead-valve four-cylinder engine of 1,892cc and featured beam-axle front suspension and mechanical brakes. Looking much like its TA14 predecessor, but featuring independent front suspension and a new overhead-valve, six-cylinder engine, the new 3-Litre Alvis was announced in 1950 as the TA21. Styled along classic, pre-war lines, the 3-Litre was reckoned by Autocar magazine to appeal to 'discerning owners who appreciate quality and good handling as well as mere performance'. Nevertheless, more of the latter was available from the mildly face-lifted TC21 - introduced in 1953 - courtesy of a redesigned cylinder head, twin SU carburettors and improved exhaust manifolding, making the TA21's successor good for 90mph. Introduced at the 1953 Earls Court Motor Show, the model's ultimate incarnation was the TC21/100 'Grey Lady', the '100' being a reference both to the maximum horsepower and top speed. The historic Alvis TC21 offered here, chassis number '25255', is one of only 11 such bodied by Graber (five coupés and six convertibles) and shortly after completion appeared on the Swiss coachbuilder's stand at the Geneva Motor Show (photograph on file). Hermann Graber's elegant designs were always executed to the very highest standards and his creations were necessarily expensive, costing far more than those of his British contemporaries. His designs on the TC (and preceding TA) chassis would prove to be of immense significance in the development of the post-war Alvis. In his book, Alvis – The Postwar Cars, John Price Williams observes: 'These models had a grace and purity of line which made the TA/TC series look very staid, and they attracted much attention'. Graber advertised three models on the Alvis 3-Litre chassis: a closed coupé and two cabriolets, one of 4/5 seats and the other with 2/3. Alvis's traditional upright radiator grille was retained for the 4/5 seater cabriolet, while the 2/3 seater Sport (as seen here) featured a more modern looking egg-crate grille. The overwhelmingly favourable reception given to his designs resulted in Graber being commissioned to style a production Alvis based on the TC21 - the TC108G - which was built by coachbuilders Willowbrook before production switched to Rolls-Royce's in-house coachbuilder Park Ward on the introduction of the revised TD21 for 1959.A right-hand drive model, '25255' was originally registered in Switzerland and is now registered and tax-paid in the UK. Owned by the current vendor for 35 years, the car is presented in very nice condition and comes with a good history file recording restoration and remedial work undertaken by specialists in the UK. It is a past participant in the Monte Carlo Classic and rallies to Riga and Moscow, ably fulfilling its maker's intended role as a supremely capable Grande Routière.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Ex-Midge Wilby, 1939 Scottish RAC Rally1937 Atalanta 2-Litre SportsRegistration no. HMX 957Chassis no. 1011Engine no. 1009•One of only two short-chassis cars of fewer than 20 produced•One of only two with the Gough 2-litre engine•Present ownership since 2007•Le Mans Classic eligibleFootnotes:A short-lived but highly regarded manufacturer, Atalanta Motors of Staines, Middlesex was the brainchild of Alfred Gough, designer of the overhead-camshaft Frazer Nash engine. Gough was joined in his new venture by another ex-FN employee, draughtsman Peter Crosby, while financial backing came principally from undergraduates Peter Whitehead and Neil Watson, the former a future Le Mans winner and the latter heir to the Burma Oils fortune. Other luminaries of the British Motor industry that played a part in the Atalanta story include Wally Hamill (Dunlop and Morris); Eric Scott (Specialoid pistons); A C Bertelli (ex-Aston Martin); and Dennis Poore (Manganese Bronze Holdings and Norton Villiers Triumph). Founded in 1937, the firm specialised in hand built sports cars of advanced design; the exclusive and expensive Atalantas being unique among British cars of their day in featuring all-independent coil-sprung suspension. The channel-section steel chassis was a substantial, X-braced affair, while the use of Hiduminium alloy for the suspension links and Elektron magnesium alloy for the huge (16'-diameter) Lockheed hydraulically operated brake drums helped keep un-sprung weight to a minimum. Gough four-cylinder engines powered the majority of Atalantas, not that there were many; indeed, it is estimated that no more than 20 cars of all types were built. The Gough engine was available in two capacities: 1.6 (78bhp) and 2.0 litres (98bhp), while in 1938 the company added a Lincoln Zephyr V12-powered 4.3-litre model to the range. Whatever the engine, the Atlanta's performance was excellent, thanks in no small part to its lightweight construction, and many of the cars enjoyed successful competition careers. Most were bodied by Atalanta's neighbours, E D Abbott of Farnham. Sadly, the outbreak of WW2 curtailed development of these exciting designs, and the Atalanta marque was not revived after the war's end. Survivors are exceedingly rare. One of only two short-chassis models, 'HMX 957' was originally owned by Miss M V 'Midge' Wilby, one of Atalanta's directors, who competed in rallies and trials with considerable success. This car was delivered with the 2-litre Gough engine and is the second of the three Atalantas owned by Midge Wilby. Reportedly, the adventurous Miss Wilby entered an Atalanta in the 1938 Monte Carlo Rally only to have her entry rejected on the grounds that the firm had built too few cars to be eligible. She drove a Lancia Aprilia instead. Another of Atalanta's financial backers, Midge Wilby ran a quasi 'works' team of these cars for herself and her friends, of which 'HMX 957' was one. In 1939 the Atalanta team won the manufacturers' team prize in the SWAC Welsh Rally. In 1939, The Light Car road-tested another of Midge Wilby's Atalantas ('JMC 973') for an article in its 7th April edition, declaring: 'road holding is beyond criticism: rough, almost colonial sections can be treated like main roads. The Atalanta has the tenacious quality of a racing car when cornering, and it is nearly impossible to cause the tyres to squeal'. That same year, 'HMX 957' was entered in the Scottish RAC Rally as part of a three-car team driven by a Mr A E Crosby, and contemporary press cuttings and photographs of the car in action may be found in the history file. What happened to the Atalanta immediately thereafter is not known, the next ownership record on file being an old-style continuation logbook (issued 1950) which records a change of engine rating/size from 13.9 to 24.9 horsepower, and a change of colour from blue to green. The penultimate change of owner is dated 1963. The last change in the logbook, Ryan Hodges of Woodcote, Reading, is also recorded as owner in a list of 14 Atalanta cars ('HMX 957' being one of only two 2.0-litre Gough-engined examples). The car is stated as being fitted with a Bristol engine at time of purchase by Mr Hodges. It is also stated that a correct Gough engine was 'now being assembled'. Some time later 'HMX 957' went to Sweden and is mentioned as resident there in a letter on file from Midge Wilby dated 3rd February 1985. Chronologically, the next significant piece of this car's history is its appearance in a UK auction in February 1996 (catalogue entry on file), it being stated at that time that the Atalanta was offered fresh from a major restoration carried out between 1993 and 1995, which included fitting a Ford V8 'flat head' engine. Its owner at that time would appear to have been Mr Werner Oswald of Brocton, Staffordshire (recorded as previous keeper in the old-style V5C on file). Its purchaser in February 1996 was Mr Craig Davis of Pebble Beach, California, who immediately commissioned TT Workshops of Westbury, Wiltshire to undertake a full restoration, including the sourcing and installation of a correct 2.0-litre Gough engine, one being found in Switzerland (see correspondence and detailed bills on file). The Atalanta appears to have next changed hands in 2007 when it was offered for sale by Mr Patrick Ryan of California at a US auction and purchased shortly thereafter by the current owner. In the vendor's own words: 'The car was immaculate when we purchased it – reflected in its having recently won the Cartier Style et Luxe at Goodwood and being displayed and sold at Pebble Beach in 2007. It is presented in similarly immaculate condition now.' Whilst in current ownership the Atalanta has benefited from the expert attention of the renowned Le Riche Automobile Restorers, who have carried out further major refurbishment works since its acquisition (bills on file). More recently (November 2019) 'HMX 957' was inspected and mechanically refreshed by Atalanta Motor Cars Ltd, the main focus of the work being to ensure the brakes, steering, and suspension operated safely. The bodywork was re-polished and detailed, and the car then remained in covered storage for some months prior to collection.The engine was serviced (including fresh oil) and set-up to run properly, which it did, and the car was then test-driven for no more than three miles. As the Atalanta was again likely to stand for some time in the client's collection, the cooling system was drained as precaution. (At the time of cataloguing it was noted there was some emulsification in the oil, which we understand is due to porosity in the block. This will likely need rectification prior to serious road use.)The Atalanta has seen only limited use while forming part of the vendor's private collection, covering only some 100 miles since acquisition. It was displayed at the Credit Suisse motoring event in Jersey in 2008 and at the Hampton Court Concours in 2014 but has not been rallied or used on events. It was a very personal acquisition that was, due to its age, admired as a piece of automotive art and displayed in the music room of the owner's house. Exotic, advanced, and exceedingly rare, the mythical Atalanta is rightfully considered by many enthusiasts to be the 'Holy Grail' among British pre-war sports cars.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1965 Lola T70 MkII SpyderChassis no. SL71/19•Highly competitive and successful in period•Rebuilt in the USA•Subsequently repurchased by Tony SargeantFootnotes:Lola's sublimely beautiful T70 spyder sports-racer is historically significant as winner of the first ever Can-Am Championship. It was designed and manufactured by Lola Cars Ltd, of Bromley, Kent, a relatively young company that had been building competition cars for only seven years prior to the T70's introduction in 1965. From humble beginnings – the prototype Mark 1 sports car emerged from a garage behind the Broadley family's tailoring shop in Bromley in 1958 – Lola Cars quickly established a winning reputation and grew to become a major force in world motorsport. Eric Broadley, his cousin Graham and Rob Rushbrook, at whose garage premises the first customer production versions were made, were the architects of the early success, which continued with a front-engined, single-seater Formula Junior, the Mk2.Among Broadley's early projects was the Mk6 GT coupé, which had been designed to take advantage of readily available American V8 engines that offered the ideal combination of compact size and adequate performance. Lola's first monocoque design, the Mk6 GT became part of Ford's Le Mans programme in 1963, Broadley having been hired by the American company to assist with the development of what would emerge as the all-conquering GT40. At odds with his American bosses, Broadley left in 1964 and the following year, having penned a handful of Formula 2 monopostos, returned to sports cars with a new design for Group 7 racing: the T70. Effectively a 'formula libre' for sports prototypes - enclosed wheels and provision for an onboard spare were just about the only regulations - Group 7 was becoming popular on both sides of the Atlantic and the potential market for such cars looked promising. Designed to accept American V8 engines, the T70 Spyder incorporated a full-length monocoque body tub fabricated of aluminium panels on a steel framework, the engine being bolted to the firewall bulkhead as a semi-stressed member. The suspension was conventional, boasting unequal length wishbones and coil spring/damper units all round, though the positioning of the disc brakes inboard of the wheels was an unusual feature, adopted in the interests of better cooling. Hewland's new LG500 gearbox was specified, this magnesium-cased unit having been designed specifically for use with large-capacity V8 engines. Enclosing this ensemble was one of the most beautiful bodies ever to grace a racing sports car, the glassfibre panels of which were produced by Specialised Mouldings. John Surtees was one of the first customers for the T70, running what in effect was a 'semi-works' team in 1965. Traco-prepared Chevrolet V8s were used, a 5.0-litre unit at first and then from mid-season a 5.9. A Mk2 version of the T70 became available before the end of the '65 season, Broadley taking advantage of the forthcoming deletion of the 'spare wheel' requirement to redesign the nose, replacing the original twin radiators with a large single unit while incorporating a host of detail improvements to both chassis and suspension. The result was a significantly quicker car, which in prototype form was driven to a convincing victory by Surtees in the Guards International Trophy at Brands Hatch on the August bank holiday weekend. Surtees then wrote off the prototype Mk2 at Mosport Park in Canada following a suspension failure, sustaining injuries that put him out for the rest of the season. He bounced back in 1966, winning three of the inaugural Can-Am Championship's six races for Lola and defeating rivals McLaren and Chaparral in the process. Privately entered T70s won two of the other races making it a magnificent five out of six for Lola. Surtees' success capped what had been a tremendous year for the British manufacturer in North America, Graham Hill already having won the celebrated Indianapolis 500 in a T90. Although the works McLarens would dominate Can-Am for the next five years, the Lola T70 remained a popular choice for privateers, among whom it was rated as the sweetest handling of the customer cars. Given its Can-Am origins, it is not surprising that the long-serving T70 family of sports cars was better suited to sprint events, yet against the odds a Mk3B coupé entered by Roger Penske lasted the distance to win the coveted Daytona 24 Hours endurance classic in 1969. Chassis number 'SL71/19' was delivered new to Tony Sargeant in December 1965 to be campaigned by Sargeant, Hugh Dibley and Mac Daghorn under the Racing Partnerships (Jersey) banner. The trio's intention was to compete in Group 7 and Can-Am races in the UK and North America. The Lola was red at this time and usually carried competitor number '53'. Competition was fierce in this class of racing in the mid-1960s, with many established Formula 1 stars crossing swords with sports car specialists. 'SL71/19' regularly lined up on the grid alongside the likes of Jim Clark, Graham Hill, John Surtees, Bruce McLaren, Denny Hulme, Richard Attwood, Chris Amon, Jacky Ickx, Innes Ireland, Brian Redman, Mike Parkes, David Piper, Frank Gardner and Peter Gethin. Given the strength of the opposition, the Racing Partnership's results for 1966 are truly impressive, with Sargeant achieving two 1st places and one 3rd; Dibley one 1st, two 2nd places, one 4th, and two 5th places; and Daghorn one 1st (full results list available). Unfortunately, the Racing Partnership's season did not end well, as Dibley crashed 'SL71/19' heavily during qualifying at St Jovite, Canada in September, damaging the chassis. The Lola took no further part in the event and was transported from Canada to Florida, USA where it remained until renowned marque specialist Mac McClendon purchased it in 1975. After many years McClendon rebuilt the car, complete with a 1963 Chevrolet V8 engine, replacement chassis, and other parts for Norwegian enthusiast Fred Larsen. Subsequently the Lola's original owner, Tony Sargeant, repurchased the car. Interviewed for an online feature, he recalled: 'It was everything I wanted it to be. It had a Ford V8 engine. It was not very competitive initially but it was a beautiful car to drive. Whatever you wanted it to do it did it. It was always very smooth and easy on the track'. Sargeant went on to say that he had bought the rebuilt Lola from a collector in California, and recalled his emotions when the car returned home: 'Absolutely indescribable really. It was the most exciting feeling when the car landed on the dock and emerged from the container. The only thing was, the car was blue! It had always been red when we raced it. Later, I did manage to drive it in the Jersey Sprints. It was a bit of a squeeze to get in it but we managed. To me it was still an absolutely perfect car.'The current owner purchased 'SL71/19' in 2012 from Phil Stott Motorsport: 'We saw it on display at a Credit Suisse mini concours in Jersey and fell in love with it and its Jersey connection.' According to the vendor, the car was in running order but was drained of all fluids and has been displayed in their music room as a piece of automotive art for two years and not run or raced since acquisition. It should be noted that the engine and gearbox are not installed but we are advised were in running condition when removed.Lola T70s rarely come to the market, so the sale of 'SL71/19' represents an opportunity to own and race an example of one of the most beautiful racing sports cars produced.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
