We are very pleased to have been asked to sell this well-known Austin Seven race car, fondly known as Murtyl.  If you ‘google’ Chris Pearson Austin 7 Race Car, you will find a number of images of the car in action.  The car was built during 2014 -15 by Pigsty Racing, Austin Seven experts.  It was constructed around a short wheel-base model, with aluminium body by Yates, and race engine, built by Keith Dobson, to include pressure-fed crankshaft by Peter Pearson of Leyburn, SU carburettor, and electric water pump.  Apparently, the crankshaft is constructed of the same material as a Formula One car.  The car has a sports front axle, with twin shockers and runs on 15” wheels, currently fitted with Dunlop race tyres.  It has been raced for several years in France, with the 750 Motor Club in England, and at other prestigious events such as the AMOC Brands Hatch meeting in 2015, where it won the race, beating, in the rain, a mighty field of Bentleys, Lagondas, Astons etc and at an average speed of a tad under 60mph.  Many races were with Motor Racing Legends where it won its handicap on the full Brands Hatch Circuit.  Behind the seat, as you can see, is a partial list of dates and finish positions, which is pretty impressive for such a little car!  Furthermore, you will notice the names all over the car – these are, in the main, names of SOE agents, brave operatives who risked (and often gave) their lives behind enemy lines during the Second World War.  One of the names, Murtyl, is the name of a character featured in a series of novels by the car’s current owner.  Also comes with a bundle of paperwork. This is a serious car, for serious racing, so serious enquiries only, please (it’s not the sort of car you would want to take your mother out for tea in ..!!)

We are very pleased to offer for sale, this delightful and very rare 4-seater PA Midget, looking very smart in its two-tone livery of Ulster Green and Dublin Green.  The car was first registered in May 1935, and has been in the same ownership for the last 28 years.  There is a large bundle of paperwork with the car, with many photographs showing its first restoration in the 1980s and an extensive refresh between 2007 and 2011.  This latter restoration work was carried out to a very good standard by The Carrosserie Company, and included a full body strip and re-paint (an excellent finish) and a mechanical overhaul including a major rebuild of the engine, which we understand has been uprated to PB engine specification – 939cc.  The gearbox was also rebuilt, and much more besides.  The upholstery, including leather faced seats and door cards, canvas hood and side screens were all renewed by Collingburn.  There is also a hood cover and full tonneau.  The car is therefore in very good condition throughout, and has been used regularly by the current owner.  It starts easily and runs well, with good oil pressure, nice tight gearbox, purposeful brakes and good performance.  All in all, great fun to drive.  The underside is very clean and tidy, the wire wheels are good and are shod with matching Dunlop tyres.  Realistically priced.  MGB would be welcomed in part-exchange.

This is a lovely dark brown sheepskin flying jacket, ideal for vintage open-top motoring. Worn only two or three times (it was an unwanted gift), high quality, from Lakeland Leather, unisex size ‘small’ – probably equates to a ladies’ 10-12 or a gents’ ‘small’. The jacket is in very good condition, and is a real bargain – compare current prices on Lakeland Leather’s website.

An extremely nice example of the ever-popular MG TC, which has had a fortune spent on it in recent years – from 2018 to 2021, some £33,000 was spent on a very thorough and well-executed restoration of the car.  Work was carried out by Yorkshire Restorations to a very good standard, and included a full body and mechanical restoration.  The paintwork is superb and the underside of the car is in particularly good order, as is the engine bay.  The upholstery was also renovated and a brand new mohair hood and side screens, which all fit extremely well, were included.  The result is a car that not only looks ‘the bees’ knees’, but also drives just as it should with strong engine, quiet gearbox and back axle, and good brakes for a car of this age – it really is a pleasure to drive.  The car retains its original XPAG engine (fully rebuilt).  The matching tyres are hardly worn and the wire wheels are in good condition.  This example was originally sold by University Motors in August 1949, and there is an enamel badge on the dashboard to this effect.  All relevant invoices for the restoration work are included in the accompanying file, together with current V5C and instruction manual.

This excellent example of the highly desirable factory V8 has been in the same ownership for the last 41 years, and during that time has been stripped down and meticulously restored and improved, resulting in a very fine motor car indeed.  The restoration began in 1995 and continued for a number of years.  The work included an extensive body rebuild, incorporating new three-piece sills, front wings, rear half wings, and all the other areas usually requiring attention.  The mechanics have been overhauled, the wheels replaced, stainless steel exhaust has been fitted, along with plumbed-in power steering, electronic ignition and uprated front discs and callipers.  As you can see from the photographs, the opalescent dark blue paintwork is in excellent condition.  The interior has been improved with walnut dash and centre console, and has been professionally upholstered including part-leather seats.  The headlining is like new and quality factory-type footwell mats have been fitted.  The underside is in excellent structural order and is very clean and tidy – nothing to do there.  The engine bay is nicely detailed.  The powerful V8 engine, which still has its original cast iron manifolds and pancake air filters, runs as sweet as a nut.  Driving the car is an exhilirating experience, with lots of power, smooth gearbox, overdrive and back axle, and very efficient brakes.  The five matching tyres are all pretty much like new.  Comes with V5C, Heritage Certificate, file of invoices and old MOT certificates, workshop manual and handbook.  MOT to August 2025.

We are pleased to offer for sale this very good example of a late model MGB GT, which has just – reluctantly – come out of long-term ownership.  The car was extensively restored around 20 years ago, at the beginning of that ownership, including mechanics, engine and bodywork.  Since then, it has been very well maintained and remains in very good order mechanically, bodily, and cosmetically.  Well finished in its original colour of Brooklands Green with black interior, and now with leather seats.  Door cards, headlining, etc are all fine.  The underside of the car is clean and tidy and structurally very good.  Five recent, quality, Uniroyal tyres on undamaged Minilite-type alloys finish it off very nicely.  The black rubber bumpers are in excellent condition and an LE-type front spoiler has been fitted.  The car drives very well with good performance, nice quiet gearbox and back axle, and very responsive, smooth overdrive.  The under bonnet area is good, as are the luggage area and boot floor.  All the body panels, including doors fit well.  Comes with extensive history file full of old invoices, old MOT certificates, guarantee for Gold Seal engine fitted some years ago, British Leyland Passport and handbook.  V5C, and MOT to August 2025, so all ready to go.
