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.

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
