Registration No: BXO 32 Chassis No: 6027484 MOT: ExemptSubject to a full restoration in the 1980s and kept in fine running order sinceOwned by the vendor since 2013, with over £20,000 of expenditure in that period with receipts to showMatching original chassis and engine numbersExtensively uprated for competition work, with some 57hp on tap, as shown by the dynograph print out on file Spiritual successor to the ‘Brooklands’ competition model which had achieved such success around its namesake not to mention on the Tourist Trophy, Irish Grand Prix and Le Mans 24-hours etc, the Riley 9hp ‘Imp’ debuted in prototype guise at the October 1933 Olympia Motor Show. Fast enough to accrue silverware but tractable enough for road use, the newcomer was also among the prettiest automotive designs of the 1930s. Notably compact, its 7ft 6in wheelbase chassis featured all-round leaf-sprung suspension, four-wheel drum brakes and an underslung rear axle. Fed by twin carburettors and utilising an (optional) Scintilla magneto, the two-seater’s free-revving 1.1 litre engine developed some 42bhp and was allied to four-speed transmission. Tipping the scales at just 17cwt, the Imp was reputedly capable of 80mph (a speed few class rivals could match). Total production figures are unknown but have been estimated at 120–150 cars of which some 80 are known to have survived. According to its accompanying buff logbook, chassis 6027484 was first issued with the London number plate 'BXO 32' on 20th May 1935. Surviving World War Two, the Riley belonged to K.F. Rouse Esq of Birmingham for almost thirty years (1948-1977) before being bought by noted collector Graham Galliers. Finished in White with Cream upholstery at the time, the Imp then passed to Tony Smith of Cheshire who had specialist Bill Morris overhaul and uprate the ENV four-speed pre-selector gearbox (needle roller bearings supplanting the original bronze bushes) as well as attending to the oil pump and brakes etc. Taking possession in 2006, the two-seater’s previous keeper entrusted it to marque specialist Blue Diamond Services for a full service and thorough going over. The same company were tasked with repainting the Riley in its original Maroon hue and overhauling its factory-fitted engine. The latter having its white metal bearings renewed, Omega pistons fitted, power-sapping, lag tappets removed and crankshaft balanced etc. The SU carburettors were refurbished and the copper piping renewed / replaced as necessary. A dyno report on file shows an increased power output of 57bhp (some thirty-five percent up on standard). Entering the current ownership via Bonhams’ 2013 Goodwood Revival auction for £74,300, the Riley is said to have since benefited from a further £20,000-plus worth of expenditure. A former yacht skipper and horologist with a consequently fine eye for detail, the vendor has had the rear axle ratio raised from 5.25 to 4.55 which he feels has ‘transformed the car’ by making first gear a usable ratio and increasing the cruising speed. A Riley Register member, the seller considers the Imp to be in ‘very good’ mechanical condition such that he is ‘not afraid to use it for any occasion’. Deemed to be ‘very good’ cosmetically aside from the odd blemish, ‘BXO 32’ is potentially eligible for a variety of Vintage Sports Car Club events. Pretty and rare in equal measure, this delectable Imp is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, numerous bills / invoices and history file.

Registration No: GF 5087Chassis No: 46163MOT: ExemptSupplied new by Col. Sorrel to 'Montmorensie' and subsequently the property of J.M. Carrick, J. Montgomerie, A.R. Gooda, R.J. Rickards, D.E. Crowther and the vendorOriginal chassis, engine and transaxle. Front axle understood to be of Molsheim manufacture but no number discernedDecidedly elegant Weymann coachworkThere is no doubt ‘La Petite Royale’ succeeded where ‘(La Grande) Royale’ failed in terms of cementing Bugatti’s status as a luxury motorcar manufacturer; little wonder then that the model was reputedly among Ettore’s favourites. Le Patron would surely have approved of this particular example – chassis 46163 – too on the basis that it sports a scaled-down version of the magnificent semi-panelled Weymann Coach body which adorned his personal Type 41 ‘Royale’ when it won the 1929 Grand Prix d'Honneur Concours d'Elegance complete with ‘letterbox’ windscreen, kick-forward A-pillar, D-back and asymmetric rear windows. Invoiced to UK concessionaire Colonel Sorrel on 7th January 1930 for the princely sum of FF63,000 (including FF2,570 of extra fittings), the two-door Fixed Head was delivered a month later. Issued with the London number plate ‘GF 5087’ on April 2nd 1930, the Type 46’s first owner is simply recorded as ‘Montmorensie’ who we presume to have been the artist Sir Miles Fletcher de Montmorency, 17th Baronet Morres of Knockagh. Deriving an income from his Irish estates but residing in the English Capital, de Montmorency seemingly kept the four-seater until 1939/1940 when it was bought by Rodney Clarke Esq. for a mere £30! The co-founder of renowned Bugatti and Maserati specialists Continental Cars (and later Connaught), Clarke believed chassis 46163 to have been the Type 46 that he loaned to Cecil Clutton and Laurence Pomeroy for a test drive which was subsequently written-up in the April 1942 issue of Motor Sport magazine. Hand- and typewritten correspondence on file also reveals that ‘GF 5087’ was the car in which Pamela Clarke ‘missed being born by five minutes’ during 1943.Migrating to Scotland thereafter, the close-coupled four-seater belonged to J.M. Carrick Esq. of Coldstream, Berwick and then John Montgomerie Esq of Castle Douglas. The latter acquired it in 1954 and as the proprietor of James Gordon (Engineers) Ltd set about a ‘chassis up, body off’ restoration. Amazingly, much of the work is chronicled via a series of accompanying black and white photographs. Done on a piecemeal basis, the project had yet to be completed when Robert Prosser (acting on behalf of Robert Gooda Esq.) tracked the Bugatti to Castle Douglas during 1973. In two minds about selling, Montgomerie asked what he felt was an overly ambitious £4,000 for chassis 46163 and was somewhat taken aback to be pretty much handed a deposit there and then. Custodian for less than a year, Mr Gooda had the Type 46 re-registered as ‘GF 5087’ but apparently did little else prior to his premature demise. Advertised for £6,500 in the Thursday February 21st 1974 issue of Exchange & Mart, the Bugatti had in fact changed hands earlier that month being bought by R.J. Rickards Esq. Entering into correspondence with Mr Montgomerie, Mr Rickards received a wealth of information about the mechanical overhaul and was even sent the water pump. The engine is the original factory-fitted unit and is clearly stamped with the numbers ‘79’ and ‘195’. The former is the actual engine number, while the latter is the assembly number (and not that of a correct-type replacement, as had been previously posited). Mr Rickards would own the Bugatti for no less than thirty years during which time he repaired the ash frame, had the fabric panelling renewed in Blue by coachbuilder I. Wilkinson & Son of Derby and retrimmed the interior etc but, like his predecessors, did not finish it. Sold to its previous keeper Douglas Crowther Esq via the agency of Gavin McGuire Fine Automobiles in 2004, the Type 46 was further improved with all six of its alloy wheels being expensively refurbished before entering the current ownership a decade later.An automotive engineer by profession whose career took him all over the globe on various troubleshooting and project management missions, the vendor has had a lifelong passion for motorcars. Inspired by a petrolhead stepfather and racing driver mother, he has undertaken numerous restorations over the years and still has a 1932 Alvis which has been in his family since new. As well as completely rewiring the Weymann Coach including rejuvenating the ignition system (no mean feat given the lack of available information on the twin-plug set-up), he has had the instruments restored and the interior trim completed. Thought to have begun life with Marchal lighting, ‘GF 5087’ switched over to Scintilla components early in its life (the fuse box and horn are marked Scintilla too). More original than many surviving Bugattis, chassis 46163 has recently been inspected by the marque historian and Honorary Registrar of the Bugatti Owners’ Club, Mark Morris. Keen to be as authentic as possible in his endeavours, the seller has persisted with the Smith-Bariquand carburettor and reinstated the full-length running boards (a task made easier by the presence of the factory mounting holes). The ‘Metro Fully Flush Sliding Roof’ remains in situ and operational. Although a going concern, ‘GF 5087’ has yet to be run-in and / or de-bugged since the completion of its protracted, seven-decade, refurbishment. Housed within an engine-turned aluminium panel, the Jaegar instruments encompass a 150kmh speedometer and zeroed odometer.Aesthetics are subjective but we consider chassis 46163 to be among the most attractive Type 46s to have survived. Our sentiments being presaged by Cecil Clutton in Motor Sport eighty-two years ago: ‘This particular car is undoubtedly one of the most handsome ever, as is universally agreed by all beholders . . . The body is a two-door, four-light Weymann, with a large travelling trunk behind. The wheels are of the aluminium type. Some 5-litres are rather “lumps” in appearance, but this one is essentially “sleek.” An overall height of only 5’ 3”, as against a wheelbase of no less than 11’ 6”, largely contributes to the exceptionally fine appearance’. The potential jewel in many a collection and a fabulous opportunity for Bugattistes everywhere, this glorious ‘Petite Royale’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file, Mark Morris report and spare block (which was purchased from marque specialist ‘Ivan Dutton’ on a ‘just in case / you never know’ basis).For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Registration No: PO 7734 Chassis No: M-1098 MOT: ExemptAttractive special running what are thought to be PB-type brakes, wheels and suspensionCurrent ownership since 2019Subject to an engine overhaul in 2020VSCC eligibleThe MG M-Type was manufactured from April 1929 to 1932 and was sometimes referred to as the 8/33. Launched at the 1928 London Motor Show when sales of larger MG saloons began to falter due to the economic climate, the small car brought MG ownership to a new sector of the market and probably saved the company. Early cars were assembled in MG's Cowley factory but production transferred to Abingdon when the MG factory moved there in the Autumn of 1929. The M-Type was one of the first genuinely affordable sports cars to be offered by an established manufacturer, as opposed to modified versions of factory-built saloon cars and tourers. This two-door sports car used an updated version of the four-cylinder, bevel-gear driven, overhead-camshaft engine used in the 1928 Morris Minor and Wolseley 10 with a single SU carburettor generating a sporty 20bhp. Drive was to the rear wheels through a three-speed non-synchromesh gearbox. Early bodies were fabric-covered around a wooden frame but this changed to all-metal in 1931 when the majority of cars were clothed by Carbodies of Coventry and offered by MG in either open two-seat or closed two-door Sportsman’s Coupé versions. The M-Type enjoyed considerable sporting success, both privately and with official teams, winning gold medals in the 1929 Land's End Trial and class wins in the 1930 'Double Twelve' race at Brooklands. Total sales amounted to 3,253 cars by the time production ceased in 1933. According to the copy of the original factory build cards, chassis 1098 was first sold to J.D. Windle of Southall on 22nd February 1930. There is also correspondence with the MG Works from that period regarding an engine overhaul. According to the V5C supplied with the car, there have been four previous keepers. Prior to the current keeper's ownership, the car was extensively restored with a new ash frame and with what appear to be PB-type brakes, wheels and suspension components, giving the car a wider stance than the standard M-Type Midget. The car was recovered with fabric and the metal panel work was brush-painted around this time. The current owner purchased the car in 2019 and according to correspondence in the history file, was intending to return the car to original specification, but chose not to. The engine was overhauled in 2020 which there are receipts available for and the interior was re-trimmed. According to the vendor, the car runs well and he has driven it regularly, keeping up with regular maintenance jobs. The interior, having been re-trimmed presents in good order and the bodywork is still in good condition, with a few signs of aging appearing around, for example, the front mudguards. A great opportunity to use as a starter sports car for trials or similar events. For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Lot 94

Registration No: OV 2980 Chassis No: 4769CF3 MOT: ExemptExceptionally rare Hornet Sportsman Coupe originally commissioned by Eustace WatkinsCoachwork by Salmons and Sons in Newport PagnellHighly original example in its original colour schemeIn the ownership of just two families from new with current ownership since 1984Supplied with a comprehensive restoration between 1984 and 1987The vogue for creating small cars of big performance pre-dates today's hot hatches by many decades, of which the Wolseley Hornets of 1930 to 1935 are ample proof. The trick was to insert six-cylinder OHC engines of 1271cc into unsuspecting modified Morris Minor chassis and then provide them with relatively lightweight bodies and wheels to create cars with considerably more get-up-and-go. The ‘Occasional-Four Coupe‘ is understood to have been originally commissioned for Eustace Watkins, a London dealer of Wolseleys located in Croydon from 1906 and at one time was the largest distributor of Wolseley cars in the world. Eustace Watkins offered custom coachwork, most notably the Wolseley Hornet Specials some of which were coachbuilt for Eustace Watkins.Manufactured in 1931, 'OV 2980' was originally commissioned via Eustace Watkins and bodied in exceptionally rare Sportsman's Coupe coachwork with sunshine roof by Salmons and Sons, Newport Pagnell. Purchased new by the Roberts family, the Wolseley remained in their ownership until 1984. Requiring full restoration after being unused and stored in a garage/workshop for 35 years, it is a notably original and appreciating rarity. The late vendor purchased chassis 4769CF3 and embarked upon a comprehensive, body-off and chassis-up restoration, the chassis being fully refurbished before the original coachwork was renovated and presented in its original Fawn colour scheme.The mechanicals were completely restored including the six-cylinder engine overhauled, and the interior was retrimmed. Completed in Spring 1987, since then, the Hornet had been in regular use including trips to Retromobile, Silverstone, and Shuttleworth, only stopping for coronavirus and sadly the vendor's passing last year. Starting readily and running well during the photography session, the Wolseley may require some recommissioning. Supplied with a history file that contains the original buff logbook, notebook documenting the current ownership journeys, numerous previous MOTs, previous invoices and tax discs, a letter from the original family owner’s daughter, VSCC eligibility document, letter from The Automobile editor for restoration feature, and V5C. A highly original example with exceptionally rare and attractive coachwork, this Sportsman's Coupe has remarkably been in the ownership of just two families from new.

Registration No: AFC 49 Chassis No: 7472 MOT: ExemptUsed in 1940 to transport provisions for the war effortExtensive history file with period paperwork and photographsThe car has been featured 'The Morris Motor Car' bookUnused during the last 20 years and in need of recommissioningThe subject of an extensive restoration which was completed in the late 1990sJust 3 former private keepers and in the current ownership since 1964When William Morris founded Morris Motors in 1912, he wanted to create a British competitor to the Ford Model T and he subsequently reshaped Oxford's industrial landscape. The Morris Twenty-Five, a deluxe replacement for the Morris Isis, was launched on the 12th October 1932 at the London Motor Show with the larger 3485cc engine. It was replaced in July 1935 by a new Twenty-Five, the flagship of the Morris Big Six Series II range and given an overhead valve engine (as the Series III) in August 1938, along with the rest of the Morris range.This 1934 example was originally purchased by a lady in 1935 who, even with a chauffeur, elected to drive the car herself, mostly covering over 2000 miles in her ownership. She exchanged 'AFC 49' with Morris Motors Garage in Oxford and the second owner then purchased it in 1936. As with many suitable vehicles of the period, this Twenty-Five is said to have been used in 1940 to transport provisions for the war effort. Subsequently, the vendor purchased this example in late 1964 and conducted extensive research in the following years. In the history file, there are letters written to the previous owner, the motoring press and the Morris factory to attempt to establish the history of this rare Tourer. The subject of an extensive restoration, which was completed in the late 1990s, there are just three former private keepers recorded with the current ownership since 1964. Unused in the last 20 years, the Twenty-Five is in need of recommissioning.Offered with an extensive history file with period paperwork and photographs. ‘AFC 49’ is also accompanied by three books on Morris cars including The Morris Motor Car 1913-1983 by Harry Edwards, that features a photograph of the car; two original Morris Twenty-Five Operation Manuals - one of which is 'old stock' and very clean; a Price List of Spare Parts, dated 1933; a 1935 Morris Service Information book; a 1930s Spare Parts List and a 1930s General Service Information book. As only eight Tourer bodies were produced in 1933, it would be fair to say that this will likely be one of few Morris Twenty-Five Tourers currently in existence and therefore offers a rare opportunity to own an example of the marque.

John Duncan Fergusson RBA (British, 1874-1961)Christina Fergusson, the artist's mother, c. 1897 conté29.5 x 19.5cm (11 5/8 x 7 11/16in).Footnotes:ProvenancePrivate collection, UK.The artist's mother, Christina, grew up in Perthshire and married John Fergusson in 1870. The couple lived in Pitlochry, Perthshire, before moving to Leith in 1874. Both being Gaelic speakers and very proud of their Highland roots, J. D. Fergusson's parents encouraged his strong connection with Scotland and it is Highland Perthshire that he considered his spiritual home. It is for this reason that Perth Gallery is home to the single largest collection of his work, having been left to city following his death and that of his life partner Margaret Morris. The present work is a beautiful and delicate example of his earlier, more academic approach to drawing. The primary differences with his later more modern approach being a more fully realised portrait on a larger scale, but still displaying the immediacy ubiquitous with his later works.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Fergusson, Paris, c. 1908-09 conté17 x 10.5cm (6 11/16 x 4 1/8in).Footnotes:ProvenancePrivate collection, UK.It has been suggested that this is in fact J. D. Fergusson and his then partner Anne Estelle Rice. Depicted as they would have been seen, promenading in Paris. This attribution has come from the original description given by Fergusson's life partner, Margaret Morris, although with the loose execution it is hard to make out Fergusson's distinctive take on his self-portraiture.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
