Registration No: WC 1273 Chassis No: 126 BG MOT: ExemptSelf-evidently the subject of an extensive past restorationHailed by the vendor's son as the fastest Silver Ghost he has ever driven (whilst still bodied)A fantastic 'blank canvas' for its next ownerWorthy of close inspection if only to see the workmanship that helped garner Rolls-Royce its reputation for making 'the best car in the world'The model upon which Rolls-Royce's reputation as makers of 'The Best Car in the World' was founded, the 40/50hp debuted at the November 1906 London Motor Show. A somewhat conventional yet beautifully executed design, the newcomer was based around a massive ladder-frame chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension, powerful rear wheel brakes and spiral-bevel final drive. Displacing 7036cc (7428cc from 1910), its superlatively smooth six-cylinder engine featured a seven-bearing crankshaft, full pressure lubrication and twelve spark plugs (fed via a dual magneto / coil ignition system). Allied to four-speed manual transmission (though, a three-speed gearbox was utilised from 1909 to 1913), the sidevalve unit proved both wonderfully torquey and eerily quiet. Possessing a legendary eye for detail, Henry Royce continued to develop the 40/50hp throughout its 18-year production life. Thus, late Silver Ghosts boasted considerably more horsepower (up from 48bhp at 1,250rpm to 80bhp at 2,250rpm) and higher top speeds than their earlier brethren. Rolls-Royce of America Inc was established to bypass the swingeing import duty that had hitherto restricted its parent company's transatlantic sales. Operating from factory premises in Springfield, Massachusetts, the new concern initially built carbon copies of the famous 40/50hp model. However, as time progressed so its product became more attuned to the US market. The beautifully wrought ladder frame chassis and enviably smooth 7428cc straight-six engine were little altered but later cars featured a three-speed, centre gearchange manual transmission and left-hand drive (interestingly just 600 or so of the 1,703 Springfield Silver Ghosts completed were to LHD specification). Designed to woo existing Packard, Cadillac and Pierce Arrow customers who had little truck with the idea of a chassis only purchase, a catalogued range of Rolls-Royce Custom Coachwork was soon made available. The various designs were given British names and subcontracted to the likes of Amesbury, Biddle & Smart, Holbrook, Locke, Merrimac, New Haven, Smith-Springfield and Willoughby. From what we can gather, chassis 126BG was initially bodied as a Town Car Brougham and supplied new to plantation owner Howard Melville Hanna Jr. Among the richest and most influential in Ohio, his family’s business interests encompassed the coal, iron ore and shipbuilding industries. Reputedly laid-up due to an engine malady, the Rolls-Royce was left to languish in a Syracuse barn for many years before being bought by noted German collector Lars de Jounge during 1972. Relocating to Europe, the Silver Ghost was subsequently treated to a protracted, ‘ground up’ refurbishment from which it emerged as a Piccadilly Roadster. Sold to the vendor by Richard Biddulph of specialist dealer Vintage & Prestige, chassis 126BG was advertised for £280,000 and described as having been “nut and bolt restored at vast cost”. Deemed by the seller’s son to be the fastest Silver Ghost he has ever driven (and his father has owned dozens), the car has since surrendered its rakish two-seater coachwork for another project. The vendor got as far as acquiring a suitable six-light Saloon / Sedan body to transplant (which is available to purchase by separate negotiation) but a change of plans means that he has decided to offer chassis 126BG as a ‘blank canvas’ for a new owner to configure as he / she wishes. Now UK road registered as ‘WC 1273’, this running and driving rolling chassis is worthy of close inspection if only to fully appreciate the engineering that earned Rolls-Royce its hallowed reputation.

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
