National in a rigorously impeccable state.
Engine and gearbox, fully refitted.
Hydrolastic suspension, completely new.
Leather upholstery and carpet and new rugs.
Reviewed in full by Targa Florio.
Full and detailed full restoration.
Rare model these days.

"Designed by Alec Issigonis and presented in 1962, were revolutionaries at the time, with their Hidrolastic suspension and front transmission. With two carburetors and a luxurious interior, they had a huge space in the passenger compartment and were extraordinarily easy and enjoyable to drive. In this case, this copy has been restored without cost containment, and it is very difficult to find another in a better state "

1939 DAIMLER DB18DHC by CARLTON

Daimler is one of the few manufacturers that can rightfully claim to have been established from the birth of the motor industry. The company’s traditions of sound engineering, design and good workmanship have been maintained throughout, hardly surprising therefore that Daimler enjoyed a lengthy association with Royalty as suppliers of motor cars.
Development of the pre-war Daimler Fifteen culminated with the DB18 model announced for 1939. Independent suspension appeared for the first time on a Daimler and the DB18 featured an enlarged, 2,522cc version of the overhead-valve six first introduced in 1933. Daimler’s customary fluid flywheel, pre-selector gearbox and worm drive rear axle comprised the transmission.
Twenty-three DB18 Drophead Coupés were planned to be produced for 1939, but production was soon halted when war broke out. Production resumed in 1945 and continued until 1953, however the factory was demolished during the Blitz of 1940, after only eight of the original cars were built. Five of those eight chassis were destroyed during the attack, leaving only three cars. This is one of those three cars, and the only surviving example.
Based in West London, the Carlton Carriage Company was founded in 1924. Their design team was rather sought after in the 1930s for their drophead designs, in addition to coupe-de-ville, continental tourer, sport saloon and 2-seater sports roadster designs. Some of their more admired designs have an art deco flair, whilst others have elements similar to American styles of the period, possibly due to their connections with American manufacturers and clientele.
Chassis number 49531 was bodied by the Carlton Carriage Company as a Drophead Coupe, but retained by the Daimler Motor Company for its own use. Daimler used chassis 49531 over a ten year period from 1940 to 1950 for various special occasions. Notably it was loaned to Winston Churchill to assist with his political campaigns in 1944 and again in 1949. The Daimler would be fitted with a load speaker system, and Churchill would sit on the rear deck to address the crowds as he was driven through various cities. The DB18 was deemed appropriate as the relatively compact size of the car ensured crowds could have a good view of their national hero.
Winston Churchill was without doubt one of the most influential and charismatic people in British history, and during the Second World War the driving force against Nazi Germany. Dogged, determined, fiercely intelligent, and incredibly brave, Churchill led the resistance against their enemies, and from Day One was strictly against any sort of negotiated peace or armistice with Germany. His devoted leadership and compelling radio broadcasts helped to inspire and motivate the Allies to victory.
More recently, this superbly stylish motor car enjoyed a huge amount of restoration work by the highly regarded firm Eberhard Thiesen of Hamburg. Established now for over 40 years, Thiesen are one of Europe’s most prestigious classic car dealers and restorers. The restoration work totalled €140,000, and truly returned this significant Daimler to its former splendour. The DB18 presents magnificently in two-tone black over silver, with a beautiful Art Deco inspired green leather interior.
Let us not underestimate the importance of the car presented here. This is the only surviving pre-war Daimler DB18 Drophead Coupe. This very car enjoyed a role in shaping modern Britain. Presented in stunning condition, what a hugely rewarding prospect for the next custodian.

1958 JAGUAR XK 150 S 3.8 ROADSTER

Originally delivered new to California in 1958 before being re-imported to the UK in 2004. Received a full body-off restoration by noted specialists, including an upgraded Chris Forbes CFS Motors 3.8l Engine, coach-trim & hood completed by Suffoc & Turley and full re-spray concluded by Leaping Cats. The car was converted to right-hand drive and now benefits from disc brakes, power steering, electronic ignition, Kenlow cooling fan, Guy Broad 5 speed gear box, SS exhaust system, 16" chrome wire wheels, triple SU carbs and the very desirable louvered bonnet. Finished in a Jaguar colour "Antigua Blue" with burgundy interior. Having covered less than 2000m since the restoration, this example is accompanied by a good history file which includes a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, invoices and a photographic record of restoration. An opportunity to acquire a highly sought after and incredibly usable Jaguar XK 150S in excellent condition.
