1940 New Hudson Autocycle
Registration No. FO 4005
Chassis No. MC 242
Engine No. XX 9091
Estimate: £500-£600
New Hudson of Birmingham was one of the pioneer motorcycle manufactures, their first machine being
produced in 1903. Production of fine bikes continued until 1932, when the company began producing Girling
brake parts and other car components for the motor trade. However, in 1939, using their bike producing skills
and machinery, an Autocycle was designed and put into production for 1940, but the war intervened, and
by 1943 BSA had purchased the company, after only a few had been produced. After the war, production
continued, but the design had been changed; the bikes were heavier and the excellent Villiers ‘Junior De Luxe’
two stroke single speed engine was no longer available, though the new machines were still marketed as New
Hudsons.
So this is a rare survivor of the original design, with the uncowled engine, bicycle brakes and large fuel tank,
with direct electric lighting and an effective centre stand. The machines were able to deliver 150 miles to a
gallon of mixture, and cost just over £20 for a high quality, simple and easy to maintain bike. They would
undoubtedly have had a great future had production continued, and post war models, even at nearly £50, sold
well.
This very original Autocycle was first registered in Radnorshire on 5 August 1940, (and has a very attractive
period registration number) and was in use locally until 1960. Much later it was rebuilt and examined for dating
by the VMCC in 1998, since when it was little used before being laid up in 2000. Some easy renovation,
hopefully without incurring significant expense will result in a charming and rare period machine. A buff
log book from 1946, current V5c, old MoT from 1999, VMCC dating certificate and New Hudson history
publication accompany the lot.

1934 Austin Seven Chassis
Registration No. NJ 9128
Chassis No. 246726
Engine No. AND 950
Estimate: £800-£1,200
This is the last mortal remains of a 1934 Austin Seven Opal 2-seat tourer, which was in the process of being
dismantled for rebuild by a VSCC member when, despite being in a favoured part of the Cotswolds it was
visited by thieves who stole the body, wings and interior etc.
However, the remains comprise a good 6ft 9 inch chassis, with axles, wheels, engine in pieces, 4-speed
gearbox, running gear, radiator and cowl etc, all present but in need of restoration. The steering box and wheel
disappeared with the body, and the log book has been misplaced, but the original and interesting number
should be recoverable.
This is an excellent basis for a period special, with all the major parts included, allowing scope to produce an
imaginatively designed sporting or trails car; hopefully retaining the period registration number.

1909 De Dion Bouton BN
Registration No. Not Registered
Chassis No. N/A
Engine No. 23853
Estimate: £7,000-£9,000
Count de Dion and Georges Bouton joined forces in 1883 to produce steam vehicles in a small works at
Puteaux outside Paris. They soon decided to move into the internal combustion engine business, and by 1895
were producing motor tricycles that soon became very popular and led to a series of sporting water cooled
single cylinder light cars of around 1 litre capacity of which this is a later 1909 example, displacing 950ccs.
Larger cars in the range included an 8 cylinder 50 hp model, but it is for the pre 1914 ‘voiturettes’ that Count
de Dion is remembered, and for which he received the epitaph ‘Father of the French Motor Industry’.
The car on offer is a typical De Dion voiturette of the pre 1914 era, which was originally exported to Australia,
and then brought into the UK in 2009 in dismantled condition, requiring total restoration. Items included
are a sound chassis, engine less carburettor and ignition system, pedals, steering wheel, box and column,
springs, axles, hubs and brakes, with brake and gear levers etc. Also a partly completed 2-seater body, radiator
surround, bonnet etc. Major items still needed are a radiator, clutch and more complete gearbox and a set of
wheels.
An unusual chance to acquire an almost complete Edwardian voiturette requiring total but relatively
straightforward restoration.

1908 De Dion Bouton 8 hp Engine
Registration No. N/A
Chassis No. N/A
Engine No. 25221
Estimate: £1,000-£1,200
This is a remarkably original, sound and correct De Dion Bouton 8 hp single cylinder engine of 100 x 120 mm,
similar to that fitted to the previous lot.
This 1908 engine has mechanical valves complete with the variable exhaust valve mechanism. It is complete
with De Dion Bouton carburettor, No. 456, made under Zenith licence and a correct 1908 Bosch DU1 magneto,
Paris made, No. 386075. Other original fittings include oil drain and priming cocks, porcelain HT insulator and
starting handle with wooden grip. All the aluminium castings are in excellent condition, and with matching
numbers; there is a small old repair to the water jacket.
Altogether a remarkably complete and original engine; a quick inspection reveals that the internal components
show very little wear. This should be of considerable interest to the purchaser of Lot 803, or indeed any other
De Dion Bouton 8 hp owner.

Lot: 805
1912 Star 12 hp
Registration No. Not Registered
Chassis No. B854
Engine No. N/A
Estimate: £8,000-£10,000
Edward Lyle established Star Engineering of Wolverhampton as an offshoot of his Star Cycle business, and
the first car was produced in 1898. Early Stars were usually based on continental models, first Benz then De
Dion and later Panhard. By 1904 all Star models had 4-cylinder engines on Mercedes lines from the 1743 cc
12 hp model offered here, up to the racing 8-litre 70 hp car, closely based on a Mercedes Sixty. The cars were
expensive but very well constructed and become popular in Britain and the Empire; many such as this 1912
example being imported to Australia.
This little 12 hp 2-seater was returned to the UK around 2000 as a rolling chassis, and has since had the engine,
gearbox and chassis rebuilt, with new hubs made to fit the wheels. As the original rear axle was incomplete, a
1911 axle was found and modified to suit, but further work is required. Many items required to complete the
restoration are included, with a magneto, carburettor, manifolds, brake and gearchange controls being present.
The body with seats, hood frame etc is almost complete. However a prop shaft, bonnet top, king pins etc are
still required, and the wings seen with the car are fibreglass replicas.
A super little Edwardian car with a sensible sized 1743 cc 4-cylinder engine which can be completed without
too many items needing to be sourced, and which would result in a rare and delightful participant in VSCC
LC&E events.

1934 Austin Seven Nippy
Registration No. BDH 24
Chassis No. B92020
Engine No. M244769
Estimate: £3,500-£4,500
The Sports model ‘65’ was introduced in 1933 on the long 6ft 9 inch chassis as a sports two seater, rather than
a racing car, but in broad terms it represented an updated ‘Ulster’ in the Seven line up. By 1934, the model
became known as the ‘Nippy’ but was mostly unchanged from the previous years production except that the
body was now panelled in steel rather than aluminium, making it slightly heavier but infinitely more durable.
This example, first registered on 11 July 1934 was rebuilt in the late 1960s for use as a trials car. This involved
rebuilding the body without opening doors, as a huge aid to rigidity. At this time an earlier pre 1931 engine
was also fitted, but the original block and crankcase are still with the car. A four speed gearbox was retained
and the present owner acquired the ‘Nippy’ some 10 years ago as a project from its owner in Bosbury, where
it had been since 1970. Time has prevented the completion of the work, but the car now has rebuilt 17 inch
wheels with Dunlop tyres, a pair of replacement steel front wings of the correct pattern and retains its original
radiator with stoneguard, windscreen etc though the front axle is now the straight saloon type rather than the
sports dropped variety. The boot lid is also missing, but would not be difficult to replace.
This represents an excellent opportunity to purchase an original Nippy, albeit somewhat modified, but with
most of the correct parts to effect a rebuild. A V5c safeguards the period registration number.

1933 Austin Seven Sports 65 Engine
Registration No. N/A
Chassis No. N/A
Engine No. M180614 (Crankcase) M230137 (Block)
Estimate: £1,500-£1,800
This 1933 Sports 65 engine was acquired by the vendor of the previous Lot (Austin 7 Nippy) but not fitted.
It has apparently been rebuilt with new valves, pistons and bearings and has a later Ruby type flywheel and
clutch, and a desirable 14 mm plug head. It is complete with inlet and exhaust manifolds.
The block bears the correct ‘Chromidium’ casting mark, and the sump is of the heavily finned alloy type,
holding 1 gallon of oil, but prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves as to the correctness of other
internal parts, though the engine appears to be properly prepared in an ‘engineering’ manner.

1930 Austin Seven Ulster Replica
Registration No. SV 5096
Chassis No. 122111
Engine No. M222613
Estimate: £6,000-£7,500
The Austin Motor Company used the success of their Works Racing Team to generate publicity for the firm,
and to develop a series of sports and racing cars based on the ‘Seven’. In 1928 the Super Sports model evolved
into the fantastically successful ‘Ulster’ which became almost unbeatable in the 750cc class and was the only
serious rival to the MG team in later years. There were never enough of those versatile little sports cars and a
cottage industry has long been established to enable enthusiasts to convert tired saloons into sporting Ulster
replicas.
SV 5096 is one such example, was completed by the current owner in 1994 and has been in use ever since. It
is based on a correct 1930 short (6ft 3 inch) chassis, with tuned 2-bearing coil engine fitted with a 14 mm plug
head, SU carburettor and 4-branch exhaust manifold, and mounting a well proportioned and correct looking
fibreglass body by possibly the best manufacturer, Chris Gould, (No. CG 72). Other improvements carried
out include Bowdenex Girling brakes and wider cast iron drums. The British Racing Green bodywork is setoff with black wings, and correct style windscreen, radiator stoneguard, quick release fuel filler cap, cockpit
‘hosepipe’ beading, outside exhaust with fishtail, bonnet strap etc. The cockpit is well finished and the car is
properly equipped, with correct type headlamps etc, resulting in a very handsome appearance overall.This is
a very useable vintage Ulster, not currently eligible for VSCC events because of its body construction, but
acceptable everywhere else, in good running order, with an MoT certificate until September and taxed (free
of charge) to the end of August.

1919 Morris Cowley 2 Seater
Registration No. LU 6991
Car No. 4354
Engine No. 11407
Estimate: £7,000-£9,000
William Morris set up business in Oxford and was soon producing his popular White and Poppe engined
cars in reasonable numbers, but he soon realised that to increase sales he needed a car that would compete
on price terms with imported American models. Accordingly he visited the US and arranged for the supply
of Continental engines at £18 each (the previous W&P engines had cost about £50 each), and on a later visit
he was able to source axles, gearboxes and steering gear for his new Cowley at equally advantageous prices.
The first new ‘Continental’ engined Cowley appeared in 1915 at a very reasonable 158 guineas, but war had
been declared some 8 months earlier, and new import duties caused prices to spiral, whilst 1,500 of the first
3,000 engines were lost at sea due to enemy action. Eventually private car production was prohibited in 1916,
but Morris were quick to restart assembly lines after the Armistice, using American parts still in store, whilst
designing a new post war Cowley.
The ‘Continental Red Seal’ engined Cowley was an innovative design, and was very well received by the
motoring public; prices for second-hand examples were always high, but the number made was not large,
and very few now remain. Ten cars appear in the 2006 Register of Early Morris Cars (with thanks and
acknowledgement to Margaret Goding, Registrar, for this excellent publication).
LU 6991 was first registered on 26 March 1919, and is thus assembled from earlier parts. It has been in long
term ownership, during which time a complete restoration was commenced, but never completed, and this
car is now offered on behalf of the owners widow. Much work has been done, and the car is mechanically
complete, although it may require re-commissioning, and the two seater body is nearing completion. A buff
log book and a V5c, together with a large archive accompany this historic car.
Early Bullnose Cowleys have a ‘light and spidery’ appearance that is very different from the later cars, but
survivors are very few in number, and seldom come to the market. LU 6991 has had most of the hard work
done, and could be restored relatively simply, and is a good opportunity to aquire a scarce early car, well
known in Bullnose circles, nearing completion of its protracted rebuild.

1928 Rolls Royce 20 hp Chassis
Registration No. DAB 983
Chassis No. GFN 46
Engine No. D72
Estimate £18,000-£20,000
Rolls Royce introduced the 20 hp in 1922 as a ‘small’ alternative to the Silver Ghost and later Phantom I
models in answer to the need for a car more suited to the owner driver, and at the same time incorporating
modern innovations and designs required since the Great War. The new model undoubtedly cost less to
run, and somewhat less to purchase initially, but the quality was the same, and the cars were immediately
acclaimed, with nearly 3,000 chassis laid down before production ended in 1929 on the introduction of 20/25.
The chassis was more modern than the Ghost, the engine in particular, being a six cylinder monobloc with a
detachable head and 7 bearing crankshaft, with a capacity of 3,127 ccs, and a gearbox mounted in unit. The
construction was entirely conventional, with very precise steering and excellent brakes to all wheels, and
servo assisted by the time this chassis was laid down. At first the gearbox was a 3-speed unit with central gear
change (and central handbrake) but this was much criticised as being too American, and by 1925 the box was
now 4 speed, with right hand gear lever and handbrake (again as fitted to this car).
Chassis No. GFN 46 was on test in October 1928 and delivered to Mulliners coachbuilders of Chiswick
London in December of that year to be fitted with their 6 Light Weyman Saloon body with division. The car
was then delivered to The Hon. George Akers Douglas of St Mary Cray in Kent, in October 1929 for the sum
of £1400, and the build sheets, of which a copy is included with the lot, show that he kept the car until at least
1936. The original registration number was KP 475.
At some time in the mid 1930s, the original 1928 Weymann body was removed, possibly because its light weight
construction could have resulted in early disintegration, and the car was updated with a later and taller 20/25
radiator and bulkhead and fitted with a ‘modern’ Southern coachworks convertible body. At the same time, the
car was registered with a more modern number, as currently worn, namely DAB 983. A photograph amongst
the papers with the car show that this was an attractive updating, but it seems that this second coachwork
also disintegrated, and when the car came into the hands of the late owner in West Wales, he determined to
rebuild the chassis to a high standard, and fit replica Barker ‘barrel sided’ touring coachwork, arguably the
most attractive style fitted to a 20 hp Rolls Royce. At the time of his death the owner had completed an engine
rebuild (though this may not have been needed as the engine had little wear) and the chassis was very properly
prepared to receive its proposed coachwork. At the same time a lower and earlier 20 hp radiator and bulkhead
were acquired and fitted, to suit the proposed Barker tourer.
A large file is included with the car, containing bills for work undertaken, and parts supplied as well as a huge
number of photographs showing work in progress from the arrival of the complete car before dismantling up
to the present complete state.
A very worthwhile project, with all the hard work done, resulting in a well restored chassis, running well and
now ready to receive suitable coachwork.

1928 Austin Seven Sports Special
Registration No. SV 6343
Chassis No. 55257
Engine No. M116292
Estimate: £9,000-£10,000
The Austin Seven in all its forms has always proved popular as a mount for vintage events and this has fostered
a huge demand especially for pre 1930 VSCC eligible sporting 2-seaters suitable for all manner of competition.
There has always been a good selection of parts available mainly from the large number of saloons produced,
and some of these period specials, if properly designed and built, are very desirable. SV 6343 is one such
device, being based on a mid 1928 chassis, with August 1930 engine, and a body designed and built by Austin
Seven guru, Dave Tedham, on traditional lines, thus satisfying the eligibility team of the VSCC.
Construction was started in 2006, using appropriate parts, rebuilt and installed in the 1928 short chassis. The
engine is in very good condition, with new pistons and rings, a skimmed 14 mm plug head (might not suit
VSCC but can easily be changed), an SU carburettor on an alloy manifold, with a specially fabricated fourbranch exhaust manifold and outside system. The petrol tank is located in the boot, and is specially made with
filler pipe and quick release cap at the rear. Brakes have been completely renewed, a new radiator fitted and
the car has been rewired with armoured cable, using new side and rear lamps and re-silvered headlamps. The
suspension was rebuilt and the wheels have new tyres and tubes, including the spare which is housed in the
boot.A useful feature of the design is that the scuttle panel is fitted with quick release fasteners to allow easy
access to the rear of the instrument panel and dashboard etc.The very attractive body is a doorless pointed
tail 2-seater with aero screens, a panelled boot and cycle type wings, constructed in aluminium, one of ten
made to a similar design. With its increased power and light weight, this will make an effective competition
car in suitable events. A lively and attractive sporting Austin Seven Special, ready for use, with a current MoT
certificate valid until 16 Nov 2012, which can easily be made VSCC eligible at slight cost.

1952 Armstrong Siddeley Whitley Saloon
Registration No. MCD 336
Chassis No. 1812676
Engine No. 1812682
Estimate: £5,500-£7,500
Production of aero engines kept Armstrong Siddeley Motors busy during the Second World War, and in 1945
the factory was keen to put into production a postwar range of their “cars of aircraft quality”. As early as
January 1943 the design of the new cars was sanctioned, and by 1944 prototypes of the 16hp range appeared, all
celebrating the Hawker Siddeley Aviation Companies aero engines and bearing the names of famous aircraft;
the first 12 models were delivered during December 1945. The chassis was of massive construction as befits
a car intended for export to the colonies, and had a large central cruciform, with box section front and rear
chassis rails, and was designed to incorporate independant front suspension by torsion bar. Rear suspension
was by conventional leaf springs, steering was Burman worm and nut type, and brakes were Girling hydraulic
at the front and rod operated mechanical at the rear, giving a failsafe option if the hydraulics failed. The
engine, a 2 litre 16 hp at first, and later as in this car a 2.3 litre 18hp unit was a 6 cylinder ohv with a Westlake
designed head employing hydraulic tappets. Wilson preselect gearboxes were usually fitted, but this example
has the desirable four-speed manual box with synchromesh on top, third and second.
The new cars all shared a family resemblance, the radiator grille and front end being very attractively styled in
the art-deco manner. Coachwork of all the standard designs was produced in-house by Burlingham, but several
outside coachbuilders produced their own versions. Introduced in 1950 and produced in 4 and 6 light versions,
the Whitley was an improved update of the original Lancaster, the chief advances being in the construction
of the body frame with timber used only in the turret area, the wheelarches being of box-section steel and
aluminium castings, with steel and aluminium windscreen and door pillars, all contributing to an immensely
strong and rigid body. Indeed this car, after 57 years service has doors and boot lid which are entirely free from
“sag” and fit as well as when they were new.
First registered in Brighton in 1952 this exceptional 18hp 6 light manual saloon is believed to have covered
only 47,000 in its sixty years on the road. It is carefully used and well maintained by its owner and the car has
a current V5c and MoT certificate. Mechanically the car is excellent, with a very smooth engine and gearbox
and a delightful exhaust note. The body and interior are also in super condition, and with a very small amount
of attention the car could easily be a concours contender.

1936 Austin Seven Nippy
Registration No. COJ 844
Chassis No. AEB251367
Engine No. 251367
Estimate: £12,000-£14,000
The new Austin 7 Sports model for the 1930s, introduced in June 1933 to replace the iconic ‘Ulster’ was
named the ’65 Sports’, later ‘Nippy’. Bodywork was a low slung 2-seater with doors and a boot containing
the spare wheel; the car was a less ‘out and out racer’ than the Ulster, but was considerably more civilised
and easier to use on a daily basis, whilst still being well suited to sporting events. Sales proved its popularity,
nearly 250 being sold in the first six months, and well over a thousand 65 and Nippy models found owners
before production ceased in 1937; this compares well with about 300 Ulsters made in total. The Nippy was
workmanlike, performed well in competition and found a new market (for the first time in LHD form) in
Germany.
COJ 844 was registered on 31 December 1936, making it one of the last Nippys made, and it remains in
remarkably original condition. The sports engine is still installed, though the carburettor has been changed;
this is said to improve performance over the original downdraught Zenith. The car runs well and has a current
MoT certificate, with V5c to protect the original 1936 Birmingham registration number. The steel panelled
body is in sound condition, and unusually for a Nippy very original. This is a charming, genuine and attractive
late Nippy, requiring only a little care and attention to make a very useable car, reliable and eligible for VSCC
events.

1924 Morris Cowley Sports Special
Registration No. SV 6940
Chassis No. 45095R
Car No. 478095R
Estimate: £10,000-£12,000
William Morris had seen the publicity value of competition successes, and from the very first entered his cars
in the ‘gentler sporting events’, often himself driving and frequently with some success. In 1921 a Sports
Cowley was introduced at £398, differing only slightly from the standard car mechanically, having aluminium
pistons, a much louder exhaust and a higher axle ratio. The bodywork, however, usually polished aluminium
with contrasting wings and panels was sensational, and inspired Cecil Kimber to carry on where Morris left
off, giving birth to the MG Super Sports and all that followed.
This extremely attractive 1924 Bullnose Cowley has been in the current owners hands for over 30 years,
having been found derelict on a farm in the late 1970s. Having been hugely impressed by photographs of
Sporting Cowleys and MGs in Jarman and Barracloughs book, ‘The Bullnose and Flatnose Morris’, the
decision was easily made to produce a Sports Special Cowley 2-seater in the style of the early Morris Garages
cars, incorporating all their best features. Accordingly, the chassis was carefully restored and every component
overhauled. The engine was rebuilt as is normal these days with a stronger Marine or Commercial Morris
crankshaft, lightened flywheel, alloy pistons, high compression head and straight through exhaust, producing
a magnificent fruity note. The springs are cord bound and Hartford shock absorbers are fitted, resulting in a
fine handling car which is even able to keep up with its owners 3-litre Bentley. Correct 1924 Morris parts were
used where possible, mainly from the original chassis.
The superb polished aluminium and claret body is equipped with an alloy dashboard well stocked with a range
of correct instruments, comfortable leather seats, a small single door for the passenger and a specially made
and correct triangulated five piece windscreen. The wheels wear splendid polished discs, and all the correct
lamps, horn, Calormeter etc, are fitted.The rebuild was completed in 1981, and the car has been extensively
used since, including a tour of France in 1999 when 1700 miles were covered in sweltering heat, with no
problems. In all some 10,000 miles have been covered without issue. As the owner now lives in the Far East,
the car has not been used for some 4 years, but has recently been re-commissioned and put through an MoT.
A very well restored early Bullnose Cowley, with most attractive sporting coachwork, a proven record of
reliability and ready to use and enjoy.

1923 Morris Oxford 2-seater
Registration No. XO 3871
Chassis No. 27373
Engine No. 34778
Estimate: £12,000-£15,000
‘We are indebted to the late Eric Longworth’s son-in-law, Michael Sumpster who knows this car well, for his
affectionate notes concerning the Oxford’
The Bullnose Morris was the best-selling British car of the post-WW1 period. Introduced originally before
the War, the Cowley was the basic model. The Oxford was similar, but better equipped. Later Oxford cars had
larger engines, but the example offered here has the same 11.9 hp engine as the Cowley.
The car offered here is arguably the most original and best preserved early Morris Oxford, and has unique
provenance. Its first owner was a lady farmer in Cove, near Farnborough, Hampshire, and she later removed
the dickey seat in order to carry straw bales. The car was, inevitably, eventually consigned to storage in
a barn, where it was discovered by the late Eric Longworth, and purchased by him in 1959, as his first
vintage restoration. Although a pharmacist by profession, Eric was an engineer by inclination, and carried out
a meticulous and sensitive restoration, teaching himself the skills necessary, such as lathe work and welding.
Over the next 50 years the car was lovingly maintained and improved, without ever departing from its total
originality. Some errors in the original restoration were later corrected: fading had caused both the hood and
the body to change colour, leading Eric to have the new hood made in khaki duck, and the body painted in a
sort of Air Force blue. The body was later repainted in the correct shade of Oxford blue, and a new black hood,
sidescreens and hood bag made, which have had very little use since. The dickey seat is fitted with a rare and
original folding Auster screen. A new battery and re-wound magneto were fitted recently.
The car is also unique in having been nominated for an Oscar! It starred in the BP promotional film “The
Home-Made Car” which was directed by James Hill, who went on to direct Born Free. It tells the story of
a young man who discovers a derelict Bullnose in a scrapyard, and records his adventures in getting it back
on the road. The film was nominated in 1963 for an Oscar in the Short Films category, and went on to win
two other European awards. The car comes with an extensive collection of documentation, including two
photograph albums recording its discovery, restoration and later use, and a unique set of material relating to
the film, including the display board which was with the car when it was exhibited in Shell-Mex House in
London for the premiere of the film. With the car are also16mm film, VHS video and DVD copies of the film.
The original 1923 buff logbook is also included, together with several technical manuals and copies of virtually
every book published on the Bullnose Morris. A number of spares and an Accumate charger are included. The
Morris, known in the family as “Bertha”, is available after 52 years with only its second owner, since Eric
Longworth died, at the age of 91, in 2011. It is to be hoped that its new owner will care for it as well, and derive
as much pleasure from it, as Eric and his family did.

1929 MG 14/40 Super Sports Tourer
Registration No. GJ 4158
Car No. 294756 4/2748
Engine No. 92778
Estimate: £40,000-£45,000
The story of how Cecil Kimber joined Morris Motors in 1921, soon became General Manager of Morris
Garages and produced his own superbly styled polished aluminium sports coachwork on Bullnose Cowley
chassis with Oxford engines is well known. But what may come as a surprise is how quickly the enterprise
grew, until in 1928 the MG Car Company was established in large premesis in Edmund Road, Oxford, and now
produced the 14/40 or Mk IV version of the Super Sports in sufficient numbers to attract a large and influential
following. The cars were stylish and immensely attractive, very nicely made, and at last had performance to
match their looks.
The MG Super Sports must surely be one of the most attractive sports cars of the late vintage period, and was
certainly considered very exciting when new. The lines are well proportioned without being aggressive, and
the details of the triangulated windscreen supports, cowl scuttle vents and polished aluminium body panels
add to the effect.
GJ 4158 left the Works in June 1929, and was one of the last 14/40s to be sold; by then the 18/80 was well into
production. The car was bought in 1954 by its current owner, who has spent the last 58 years of his ownership
enjoying the car, which he used for many years on a daily basis as his sole means of transport. Only increasing
congestion in the Home Counties has persuaded him to find a new owner for this historic MG.
The early history of the car is somewhat complicated, but apart from a gap from June 1930 to May 1933 is
fully documented, and the modifications which the present owner has carried out during his long tenure were
listed in a recent letter to the VSCC Bulletin. Basically he tuned the engine, polished the ports and fitted an SU
carburettor, replaced the original 3-speed gearbox, heavy flywheel and undergeared rear axle with a 4-speed
gearbox, lightened flywheel with heavy crankshaft and steel rods, with a new up-geared 18/80 crown wheel
and pinion. This made the car much nicer to use on an everyday basis, but also enabled long distance travel
without stress. The car covered huge daily mileages to France, Monte Carlo and Italy when it had a part in the
film ‘Monte Carlo or Bust’. Cruising at a steady 60 mph, over 500 miles were easily travelled in a day. These
modifications are now commonplace for cars which are used regularly.
The MG is so well known in VSCC circles that if an event was to be held on planet Mars, then it was said that
the famous 14/40 would still be driven all the way there and back.
The car still has a very smart appearance, having been completely dismantled and restored in the late 1950s,
and with the bodywork being restored again in the 1980s. The polished aluminium 2-door tourer body is
finished in an attractiveshade of blue, and the car is in every way ready to be enjoyed. An important and very
proper motorcar, detailed in P.L. Jennings seminal work ‘Early MG’.
A large archive accompanies this historic early MG, including details of its owners, photographs covering the
last 50 years activities and a history of the work carried out.
