1921 Talbot - Darracq 16hp V21 open tourer, reg. no. XH5797, chassis no. Type 21 No. 36652Owned by the vendor's late husband since 1967.This splendid high quality French vintage open tourer which was made for the English market is based on a 1913 design which was discontinued for the duration of the First World War while the factory engaged in aircraft production and was then re-introduced after the war when the production of motorcars commenced again. The powerful 3 litre four cylinder engine allows a cruising speed of 45 miles an hour and was highly regarded when it was new. This very original example was purchased by the vendor's husband in 1967 from CJ Bendall Ltd of Hitchin, Hertfordshire for £750 (the original bill of sale, original purchase cheque and a photograph of the happy couple with their new purchase are included in the sale.) The car has lovely green and black coachwork with a black buttoned leather upholstered interior with canvas hood all of which have a wonderful patina and appear in very sound condition for their age. It is equipped with good quality CAV electrical fittings, including the headlamps, side lamps and instruments. The late owner used the car frequently at first and then commenced some sympathetic mechanical restoration in the 1970s and early 1980s. It had its last MOT in 1982 and was then taken off the road and stored in an open but dry barn. The engine was turned over from time to time to keep it free as it is today. This delightful 'oily rag' large vintage tourer represents a rare opportunity to obtain a highly original vintage car that will require some restoration and recommissioning that has a wonderful history file including a V5C logbook, old logbooks, bills for work carried out in 1970s and 80s and related ephemera including old photographs. It is also supplied with several boxes of spares and fittings. (Subject to 12% buyers' premium inclusive of VAT).

DEVON. Papers of Captain John Charles Fanshaw Royle (1884-1973) Educated at Wellington and Christ Church, Oxford, John Royle was called to the Bar in 1912. After civilian work, he joined the Inns of Court O.T.C. in 1918 and became an Acting Captain in the R.A.O.C. in 1919. In 1915, he married Amy Mabel the widow of James Cavan and went to live at her home Eaton Mascott Hall in Shropshire. Captain Royle appears not to have practised as a lawyer and led the life of a country gentleman helping run the estate and being involved in local affairs. In 1919, the family moved to Youlston Park, near Barnstaple, in Devon. These papers give an insight into the management of a country house in the first half of the twentieth century, with the details of running costs, maintenance, insurance, labour, super tax, motors, and personal expenses.

With brochures, leaflets, etc, and four portrait photographs of her. Mostly dated 1920s-1950s, but some personal items earlier. YOULSTON PARK, near Barnstaple, had been in the Chichester family since it was built in 1516 and it was leased by Mrs Amy Royle in 1919. The following year, she purchased the freehold for £8,300 from Edward Chichester. Captain Royle probably left Youlston on his marriage to Barbara Chichester in 1951. In a Country Life article dated 1961 it is described as the home of Major Cavan and his sister Sylvia Cavan. In 1972, Captain Royle and Major Cavan agreed to sell the estate to J.S.C. Clark of Smythapark for £17,000 and the contents at Sotheby's valuation.

Registration No: 847 CXK Chassis No: BN6/2341 MOT: ExemptDesirable two-seater 'BN6' modelSubject to a comprehensive body-off overhaul in 1990's which has survived remarkably wellRecently undergone a caburettor rebuild by Leighton Buzzard specialists 'Carburetter Exchange' in preparation for saleMaintained very well since restoration with a large history file detailing expenditure"After a really gruelling road test, I can say that this new sports model is ideal for Continental touring. It also stood up to lap after lap of the Nürburgring at racing speeds, without complaint, and that must be equivalent to a vast mileage under more humane conditions. Finally, it has the kind of appearance that will make many prospective purchasers reach for their cheque books." – John Bolster on the Austin-Healey 100/6, Autosport, 12th October 1956.Introduced in 1956, the 100/6 represented the most radical step forward in the Big Healey's development. Despite its initial success, sales of the original Austin-Healey 100 had begun to decline by the mid-1950s and so the model was revamped as the '100/6', BMC's 2.6-litre C-series six replacing the original four-cylinder Austin Atlantic engine. At the same time, the wheelbase was lengthened from 7' 6" to 7' 8", which enabled the inclusion of two occasional seats in the rear of the BN4 variant. In 100-6 tune the pushrod six produced 102bhp - 12bhp more than its predecessor - though the inevitable weight gain meant that there was little if any improvement in performance, the car's top speed remaining at 103mph or thereabouts. Although stylistically very similar to the preceding 100, the 100/6 was nevertheless easily distinguishable by its 'crinkle' radiator grille and bonnet-top air intake. In 1957 an improved six-port engine became available, and this 117bhp unit was fitted to all the newly introduced BN6 two-seater roadsters. The top speed improved to 111mph and 1.7 seconds were cut from the 0-60mph time.According to the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate on file, chassis BN6/2341 was initially despatched to the Austin showroom on Oxford Street, London on the 29th of July 1958 before being redistributed to Mann Egerton of Norwich and was specified with the desirable options of wire wheels and overdrive. The first owner was Mr J. A. Boyden of Knightsbridge, London who took delivery on New Years Eve, 1958.Little is known about Mr Boyden’s ownership, or subsequent ownership until 1991, when the car is understood to have been owned by Mr A Wilkinson. It is understood that the ‘Big Healey’ was at this point in dire need of restoration, and the first record is for an estimate from Automotive Engineering and Refurbishment Ltd of Brierly Hill on the 10th October 1991. Unfortunately, Mr Wilkinson’s declining health meant a change of plans and in 1993, whilst the car was still in restoration, the car was sold to Mr M. Workman and by 1995, the car was registered on what is believed to be its original registration number, ‘847 CXK’, MOT’d and back on the road. For some reason by 1996 a legal dispute had started regarding the restoration, which is documented in the history file. However, the two-seater was by now completed having been subject to a comprehensive body-off overhaul and repainted in Red over Ivory white. The Workman family would keep ‘847 CXK’ until 2020, when the car was sold to the previous owner, who completed several works to the mechanical components of the car for which there is a stack of invoices from AH Spares.The vendor acquired ‘847 CXK’ in 2023, with the intent of the car complimenting his two-plus-two 100/6 and has used the car sparingly whilst improving it with a recent Carburettor rebuild by Carburetter Exchange, Leighton Buzzard, new rear shock absorbers and a thorough service to improve running.Upon inspection, we noted that this fine-looking motor car appears very presentable, and the vendor notes that the paintwork and bodywork are still ‘very good’ given that the restoration is now just under 30 years old. The vendor also notes that the red vinyl interior is in ‘very good’ fettle too and has evidently been subject to a major re-trim in the past. Furthermore, mechanically the Healey is said to also be ‘very good’ and has evidently been very well looked after by its owners since the restoration.
