BMW E9, straight six cylinder SOHC 2986 cc, 9:1 compression ratio twin carburettors and 180 bhp at 6000 rpm. The BMW New<br />

Six CS was a two-door coupe built for BMW by Karmann from 1968 to 1975. It was developed from the New Class-based<br />

BMW 2000CS coupe, which was enlarged to hold the BMW M30 straight-6 engine used in the E3 sedan. The E9 platform,<br />

especially the 3.0 CSL homologation special, was very successful in racing, especially in European Touring Car Championship<br />

and the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft. This helped to establish BMW’s status as a sporty driver’s car.<br />

wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox with synchromesh on the top three ratios. It was the first car to bear the MG badge. Suspension<br />

was independent at the front using coil springs and had a live axle with half elliptic leaf springs at the rear. The steering was by rack and pinion.<br />

Hydraulically operated Lockheed 10 inch (254 mm) drum brakes were fitted to front and back rear wheels.The car had leather trimmed individual<br />

front seats and rear bench seat. The dashboard and door cappings were in polished wood. Although the heater was standard, the radio was still<br />

an optional extra.<br />

The E-Type Jaguar, that favourite sixties icon, is sophisticated, glamorous and fast. A car<br />

that is on everybody’s short list <strong>of</strong> the greatest <strong>cars</strong> <strong>of</strong> all time.<br />

This car was manufactured by Jaguar and ordered as a personal export model on the 3 rd<br />

July 1967 by a Mr Pinolta through Jaguar dealers Mizzi Brothers (Malta). The original<br />

Maltese log book and Jaguar trace certificate are with the vehicle documents. The car’s<br />

original colour was sand and it was painted its current blue colour shortly after arriving<br />

in Malta. The car returned to the UK in August 1989 in excellent rust-free condition. The<br />

owner purchased the car at auction in 1991 and since then has improved it. This<br />

thoroughbred is in tip-top original condition, making it a very <strong>fine</strong> example.<br />

This car is <strong>of</strong>fered with Isle <strong>of</strong> Man registration documents.

<strong>of</strong> control are outstanding features <strong>of</strong> this 25GL ‘Big Six’ model. With the addition <strong>of</strong> the coach build body<br />

by Salmons Tickford, makes this car prestigious and unique. Salmons Tickford provided specialist services<br />

to top car makers including, Rolls Royce, Aston Martin, Alvis, Daimler, Lagonda and many more.<br />

The car is believed to have been commissioned by Richard Arthur Costain <strong>of</strong> the building dynasty. It was<br />

coach built by Salmons & Tickford with a landaulette body (limousine with division and fully retractable<br />

hood operated by a handle inserted at the rear <strong>of</strong> the nearside). Mr Costain had the car brought to the Isle<br />

<strong>of</strong> Man and in 1947 it was used by a local garage as a<br />

taxi. The present owner purchased the car in the<br />

early 1960’s and whilst searching for parts in the<br />

1970’s, a member <strong>of</strong> the Vauxhall staff remembers<br />

the car being delivered to the coachbuilders. A full<br />

restoration was completed in 1993. The car is<br />

regularly used and gave good service at a family<br />

wedding in York. The interior fittings are excellent,<br />

down to the turned ivory on the handles.<br />

This excellent and rare example <strong>of</strong> the Vauxhall 25GL<br />

is <strong>of</strong>fered for <strong>sale</strong> with Isle <strong>of</strong> Man registration<br />

This car was purchased at auction in 1991 by the owner, Railton member No. 781, and has<br />

undergone a complete restoration. The previous owner, Kenneth Mummery, was a leading<br />

member <strong>of</strong> the Railton owners club and owned this car for nearly 54 years. The car’s paintwork is silver with green leather upholstery and the<br />

black mohair drop head complements the overall effect. The car was a previous winner <strong>of</strong><br />

the John Cobb cup, the Alan Nicholls award and the Kenneth Mummery award. The car<br />

participated in the 1951 Blandford Speed Trials and at the Team Railton event at Prescott<br />

circa 1972. Under the present owner, the car has been dry-stored in a de-humidified garage,<br />

has been run regularly and taken to rallies. Minor attention only has been required to keep<br />

this Railton in the splendid condition it is today.<br />

It is <strong>of</strong>fered for <strong>sale</strong> with Isle <strong>of</strong> Man registration documents and some history. The Railton<br />

The first Riley sports car to use the Nine engine was the inspiration from the great J.G. Parry Thomas, soon<br />

to be tragically killed while attempting to break the Land Speed Record in "Babs" at Pendine Sands in<br />

March 1927. The project was picked up by Reid Railton, the first few 'Brooklands Speed Models' being<br />

built by Thomson and Taylor. Driven by Railton, the new racing car won its first race at Brooklands in the<br />

Autumn meeting <strong>of</strong> 1927 at 91.37mph, astonishing for an 1100cc car. Many Brooklands Class G records<br />

were established in 1928, including the 500 miles at a respectable 87.09mph. Capable <strong>of</strong> 80mph in standard form, the 'Brooklands' in essence was<br />

created from a standard Nine chassis which was double cranked, shortened by fifteen inches, narrowed at the back, with under slung rear springs,<br />

in line with the frame. The bodywork was so low that when measured, the radiator cowl was only 36 inches from the ground. The prototype had<br />

a fabric body and was believed to weigh about 1,120 lbs, Coventry-built production versions arriving at 1,680 lbs.<br />

The car was acquired by the present owner in March 1999 as a non-runner and<br />

since then has undergone a full restoration. Since the end <strong>of</strong> World War II and into<br />

the 1950’s/60’s it was believed to have been raced at the Brighton Speed Trials,<br />

Silverstone and elsewhere by various drivers including, Ge<strong>of</strong>frey McArdle (see<br />

photograph taken from Issue 195, September 2004, “The Riley 50 register bulletin”<br />

page 37). Prior to that, little is known about the car. It’s first registered owner was<br />

W. L. Morgan, 16 High Street, Rugby on the 24 th March 1932. The log book states<br />

“1 st registered in the UK as WD 3648 on 24 th March 1932. Previously registered<br />

and/or used prior to the date <strong>of</strong> registration above. Declared manufactured 1929”.<br />

In view <strong>of</strong> the engine being non-standard, having lengthened valves, the<br />

<strong>of</strong>f-setting <strong>of</strong> the rocker box covers and the enlarged sump suggests a<br />

competition history. What was Car No. 8059 doing from 1929 to 1932?<br />

It is <strong>of</strong>fered for <strong>sale</strong> with Isle <strong>of</strong> Man registration documents and numerous<br />

photographs <strong>of</strong> restoration. One <strong>of</strong> the best examples around today. The Riley<br />

Brooklands was one <strong>of</strong> the most successful works and privateer racing <strong>cars</strong> <strong>of</strong> the<br />

late 1920’s and 1930’s, particularly in hill climbs and at Le Mans.

Campbell and John Cobb. The list includes Campbell's two Bluebirds <strong>of</strong> 1931 and 1935 and<br />

assembled at Thompson & Taylor's at Brooklands after the demise <strong>of</strong> Railton's Arab factory at Letchworth, Hertfordshire, following Parry<br />

Thomas's death at Pendine in 1927. It was originally fitted with engine No. EA12 but in 1936 it was fitted with its present engine No. EA20 from<br />

Railton's own pre-prototype known as the S.R. (Spurrier Railton). Railton had raced this car at the Brooklands Easter Meeting in 1924,<br />

competing in the 75 mph Short Handicap and the 90 mph Long Handicap. He, and also Spurrier, Parker and Shorrock raced this car at<br />

Southport and elsewhere. The most interesting feature <strong>of</strong> the design is Railton's modification <strong>of</strong> the Thomas valve gear. The Thomas Leyland<br />

Eight and Leyland-Thomas <strong>cars</strong> used one cam per cylinder and leaf valve springs. On the Arab engine Railton retained the leaf valve springs<br />

but used two cams per cylinder, <strong>of</strong>f-setting the rockers so that each rocker was engaged by its own cam, thus giving the engine the benefit <strong>of</strong><br />

overlap which was almost impossible on the Thomas layout (see Motor Sport April 1984). According to an article in an old Classic Car<br />

magazine, from November 1924 until 1941 this car was owned and used by a succession <strong>of</strong> Leyland premium apprentices, two <strong>of</strong> whom have<br />

been contacted in the past and have confirmed the history <strong>of</strong> the car. A casting date <strong>of</strong> 1923 on the engine and a photograph from the albums<br />

<strong>of</strong> the late Sir Henry Spurrier <strong>of</strong> the S.R. in the late summer <strong>of</strong> 1923 confirm the origins <strong>of</strong> the S.R. engine. From 1941 to 1974 the car had few<br />

owners including the Stratford Upon Avon Museum, until its purchase by Brian Demaus (a well-known motor historian). In his hands, it was<br />

restored as near as possible to its condition when first registered in March 1929. The Arab has attended a number <strong>of</strong> vintage events, competed<br />

in one VSCC event and also attended three Brooklands reunions. During Brian Demaus ownership, the engine was completely stripped down<br />

and rebuilt by Ron Foottit <strong>of</strong> Cleobury Garages <strong>Ltd</strong>., and the new gears and splines for the gearbox were made by Templeton Engineering <strong>of</strong><br />

Woodmancote, Cheltenham. Since its rebuild, the car has covered only 6/7000 miles on the road. Only one other low-chassis Arab survives with<br />

the consecutive chassis No. 6. Of the dozen or so thought to have been made, no high-chassis Arab is known to survive.
