A 1937 Railton Fairmile series III Drophead Coupe, reg. no. MG 5335. Completely restored by The Vintage Carriage Company, over many years, to a very high standard. Winner of the John Cobb Cup at the Railton Owners Club National meeting, at Hever Castle, in June 2002. After selling Invicta to Earl Fitzwilliam in 1933, Noel Macklin and his works manager, Leon Cushman, began searching for a new automotive venture. Inspired by the speed records being set by Hudson’s Essex-Terraplane subsidiary, Macklin secured a supply of rolling chassis from the parent company. He enlisted Reid Railton, a well-known designer of Land Speed Record cars, and commissioned coachbuilders such as Ranalah, REAL, Carbodies, and Coachcraft to design bodies for his Anglo-American hybrid. The first series of Railtons, equipped with a 4010cc Terraplane 8 engine, a three-speed manual gearbox, and improved damping, offered a superior power-to-weight ratio compared to Derby Bentleys or Lagonda M45s. The car’s striking design, including a radiator by motoring artist F. Gordon Crosby and an Invicta-style riveted bonnet, quickly made the Railton brand known for its acceleration and flexibility in top gear. In 1934, Macklin adopted the Hudson Eight rolling chassis for the second series of Railtons, featuring a two-inch longer wheelbase and a more powerful 4168cc engine. Coachcraft produced around 178 Railton Eights as Fairmile Drophead Coupes, distinguished by their swooping tails, full-flowing wings, and quad-hinged ‘suicide doors,’ of which only thirty-five are believed to survive today.We hold a huge amount of past history documents, including invoices totalling over £130,000 for past restorations, servicing etc.The car drove beautifully from its home, some 20 miles away, to our auction galleries in Lewes.FOR NUMEROUS ADDITIONAL IMAGES, PLEASE SEE OUR WEBSITE www.gorringes.co.ukIMPORTANT NOTE - 12% BUYERS PREMIUM PLEASE NOTE:- Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which they are interested BEFORE the auction takes place.

• Sold on behalf of a deceased estate • An exceptional example that runs and drives well The Lagonda car company was founded in 1906 in Staines, Middlesex by the American Wilbur Gunn (1859-1920), who named it after a river near his hometown of Springfield, Ohio. Gunn had started out building motorcycles. In 1907, he launched his first car and in 1910 won the Moscow to St. Petersburg Trial driving a 16/18bhp model. Having established its reputation, Lagonda concentrated mainly on the production of light cars before reverting to sporting and luxury models in the mid-1920s with the introduction of the 14/60. This four-cylinder, 2.0 litre model was joined in 1929 by the first Lagonda six-cylinder engine, the 3.0 litre, but by the mid-1930s, the Meadows-engined cars were seen as the way forward. Introduced at the 1933 Olympia Show and based on the preceding ZM 3.0 litre model, the M45 which deployed the Meadows’ 4.5 litre, twin-plug six-cylinder to good effect with saloons being capable of reaching 90mph and tourers even hitting ‘the ton’ under favourable conditions! A team of three specially prepared short-chassis cars (effectively the soon-to-be-announced M45 Rapide) prepared by Lagonda main agents, Fox & Nicholls, performed creditably at the 1934 RAC Tourist Trophy at Ards and the following year, one of these TT cars driven by John Hindmarsh and Luis Fontes won the Le Mans 24 Hour endurance classic outright. Endowed with such an impeccable pedigree, the Lagonda 4.5 litre quickly established itself as a favourite among the wealthy sporting motorists of its day - World Land Speed Record holder, Sir Malcolm Campbell was one of many high-profile M45 owners – and over 80 years on, this model and the M45R Rapide in particular, remains a much sought-after classic. This lovely Lagonda M45 with the desirable factory T7 touring body was first registered on 28th October 1933. Reading the information from the HPI certificate the car was repainted in 1991, changing the colour from green/black to all green. We believe that this M45 was purchased by Mr. Simon Carrel in 2011 and was stored in Wargrave, Berkshire from June 2013. It has been used sparingly since and the longest trip he did with the car was for a weekend in the West Country for a friend’s wedding. While at Wargrave the car was started regularly, and any minor problems were dealt with by Mr. Carroll and the larger work was carried out by Historic racing specialist George Fowles keeping the car running and driving superbly. Recently the car has been recommissioned which included replacing the battery, cleaning the fuel system and rebuilding the carburettors. This lovely example is finished in green with green leather interior and has been kept to its original specification. This is an exceptional example which is totally reliable, ready to be used and has all the style one would expect from a 1930’s Lagonda. Consigned by John Tomlin Interested parties should note that a new V5 registration document has been applied for from DVLA and is due shortly. SOLD ON BEHALF OF A DECEASED ESTATERECENTLY BEEN FULLY RECOMMISSIONEDAN EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE THAT RUNS AND DRIVES WELLFITTED WITH THE RARE FACTORY T7 TOURING BODY
• Sold on behalf of a deceased estate • Completely restored In the Edwardian era, Lagonda concentrated mainly on the production of light cars before revertingto sporting and luxury models in the mid-1920’s with the introduction of the 14/60. Designed by Arthur Davidson, the two-litre, four-cylinder engine featured twin camshafts mounted high in the block and operated inclined valves in hemispherical combustion chambers. Power output of this advanced engine was a highly respectable 60bhp. For the 1929 racing season, a ‘low chassis’ Speed Model was introduced, featuring revisions to the chassis front end and a higher compression engine fitted with twin carburettors. The Speed Model had resulted from the factory’s Le Mans effort of 1928 when the 2.0 Litre, driven by André d'Erlanger and Douglas Hawkes finished 11th overall in the 24 Hour Endurance Classic. In 1930, a supercharged version was introduced with a ‘blower’ mounted vertically in front of the engine and fitted with a counterweighted crankshaft. A Powerplus supercharger was specified at first, but most ‘blown’ 2.0 Litres came with a Cozzette supercharger. Thus equipped, a ‘low chassis 2.0 Litre was capable of up to 90mph. This ‘Low Chassis’ 2.0 Litre was offered for sale in December 2001 at Bonhams Olympia auction where it was purchased by Mr. Simon Carrel. Originally one of the supercharger-equipped models, chassis number 'OH9859' retains its original and extremely rare fabric-covered four-door tourer coachwork, which has been preserved as part of a no expense-spared, 'ground upwards' restoration. This was carried out with the aim of producing a usable car, not a concours winner car. The restoration included boring and stroking the engine to approximately 2.4 litres and installing a new solid billet Allen crankshaft, new Cosworth con-rods and pistons, and high-lift camshafts. A new downdraft, crossflow cylinder head was specially cast (in iron) and gas flowed, and a pre-war Rootes-type Wade supercharger acquired. The engine has been bench tested and produced 148bhp. The supercharger's original position was vertical in front of the engine while the dynamo sat beneath the radiator protruding forward. It was discovered that the Wade blower would not fit in the 'correct' position but would fit under the radiator, so the positions of the dynamo and supercharger were swapped, making the Lagonda look a bit like a blown 4½ litre Bentley. The car came with an Alvis Speed 20 synchromesh gearbox fitted, which has been retained, while the clutch has been converted and is now a Borg & Beck unit. All corossion was removed from the bodywork, which was strengthened and re-covered in new fabric, while the interior received new leather seats and panelling. Proper Lucas P100 'Bulls Eyes' were sourced and installed, and all the chrome work re-plated. 'PL 6619' was restored with a view to vintage competitions and we are advised that all the modifications are VSCC accepted because they were possible in pre-war days. It is extremely fast, 0-60mph in under 11 seconds, very reliable and great fun. It has enormous torque and will pull up any hill in third gear and easily outperforms any standard 4½ litre Lagonda. Consigned by John Tomlin Interested parties should note that a new V5 registration document has been applied for from DVLA and is due shortly.
