1950 FRAZER NASH LE MANS REPLICA

The 1950 Turin Motor Show Car.

This is one of three similar Le Mans Replicas built-in 1950 for public display and this car was used at the 1950 Turin Motor Show, as confirmed by Denis Jenkinson’s factory record and as shown in photographs in James Trigwell’s book.

After the show, the car was sold to Italian agents ‘Italcarco’ in Milan who eventually sold it to one Emilio Vincentini who had the car re-bodied by carrozzeria Rocco Motto in Turin and it was registered MI 250995. The body was a fixed head coupe typical of the Italian style at the time, along the lines of a Ferrari 166MM, Cisitalia and so on.

In 1976 the car was purchased in Italy by Colin Crabbe who brought it back to England and had the car restored, retaining the coupe body so that it could be used by his wife Fiona on the school run! He sold the car at the end of 1979 to David Penney who commissioned Crossthwaite & Gardner to return it to its original form. The coupe body was removed and a correct Le Mans Replica body was made by Peels of Surbiton. It was at this time that the car gained its current XOU3 registration. From 1982 the car was displayed at the Midland Motor Museum. The Motto body still exists as part of a special.

In July 1989 Sotheby’s sold the car to Michael Fisher who sold it in turn to Aston Martin chairman Victor Gauntlett and in November 1990 he sold it to Bill Clark in New Zealand.

Clark kept the car for 18 years, racing it extensively and having it maintained by the renowned Auto Restorations and Dave Silcock of Christchurch. He sold the car in 2008 to fellow racer and collector Peter Giddings in California who continued to race the car with success in the USA. The car is now in fabulous condition throughout, retaining a nice level of patina, and performs wonderfully on the road possessing all of the verve and sharp handling one would expect from one of the world’s most acclaimed collector’s cars.

1962 HILLMAN MINX 1600 SERIES 3C

First time on the market in 55 years and with just 27,000 recorded miles, we are pleased to be able to offer this splendid Hillman Minx Series 3c in that lovely pastel green with oatmeal upholstery, a combination that works so well together. This one has the full-length front bench seat with floor gear change First sold new in May 1962 it then changed hands again one year later in May 1963 to Mr Rookard who retained the car up until 1990. The car was then sold as part of his estate by the executors in a sealed bid envelope type of auction and won by a main dealer garage proprietor. He retained the car but not registering it in his name, it would occasionally be used as a showroom exhibit (not for sale) but spent most of its years tucked up in bed in his own private garage. He did manage to put around 800miles on the clock in the first few years of ownership ‘odd local show etc’ evidence of four old mot cert’s, but after that, it was just a case of keeping the car up and running with a little maintenance thrown in when required

Naturally having the car squirrelled away for all this time has played a big part in the lovely unrestored and well-preserved condition we find it in today. The doors virtually close shut with your breath, panels all straight with a beautiful fit all round, upholstery is again a testimony to the mileage, and the underside shows no signs of rot or past repairs. Chrome still sparkles well but door handles are a little pitted if one wanted to be really picky. These curvy Hillmen are very easy on the eye and a real flashback to the 50s, that charming wraparound rear windscreen and the centre instrument panel looks like it was just removed from an aircraft. We have the original owners manual, BP service/ lubrication from Levittown garage in Cambridge, few old mots and the original brown buff log book along with Mr Rs driving licence from 1949. Front seat belts appear to have been installed from day one and the tool kit along with the spare wheel are all concealed in the boot. DEBIT / Credit / Cards taken along with other forms of payment. ( Delivery Service Available)
