4.2 straight six, triple carb engine, with 4 speed manual gearbox. Metallic maroon with biscuit interior. Chrome wire wheels. Uprated brakes. Front and rear seat belts.

Nice driving car, with all synchro gearbox giving easier gear change the earlier "Moss Box". This is an early Series 1, 2+2, with the more attractive polished ali cam covers.

These cars have 9 inch longer wheelbase, and extra height, with two small rear seats, or extra luggage space, probably the more popular option.

This beautiful Jaguar has a six cylinder XK engine with with twin SU carbs, four speed manual gearbox with overdrive and reasonable boot space.

The Jaguar MKII replaced the MKI, after its 2 year run in 1959, and lasted almost for a decade until 1968. With the XK, DOC engine it came in three sizes – the rather genteel 2.4, the sportier 3.4 and finally the faster and heavier 3.8. Fancied by both the criminal fraternity and the police alike, and well as the class conscious business man. There was plenty of debate as to whether the heavier 3.8 engine affected the road holding of the lighter front end of the 3.4. This model is now famous as the ’Morse“ after the long John Thaw TV series.

Appeal to the business man, was no doubt due to the flowing lines and the mountain of leather and wood to the interior. The dash with its wood, big dials and row of switches has an instant attraction.

Our car has just had an engine rebuild in January/February 2008.

SOLD

A direct development from the Silver and Created Eagle models with the first six cylinders Alvis engines of the early thirties. In 1932 the first Speed 20 SA with the Silver Eagle engine was produced in an agreement between Alvis and Charles Follett Ltd, the dealer who wanted more sporting and attractive coachwork designs.

The SC and SD models came along in 1935, with the 2511cc engine enlarged to 2762cc and 87bhp. The SD model had a wider bulkhead and flatter petrol tank.

CNN 277 was one of the first batch of nine SD’s produced, with Lancefield’s "extending boot" body, of beautifully proportioned design. On the coachbuilders, Lancefield Ltd., stand at the 1935 Earls Court Motor Show, the car was then sold in 1936, to George Hoybooth, better know by his stage name of "George Formby" . In the early eighties the car was owned by Sir Michael Leighton of Loton Park (site of the VSCC hill climb) who spent much on the car, including changing the brown and beige two tone paintwork to black.

I purchased the car at auction in 2005, the previous owner having owned the car for 13 years. Although it seemed mechanically fine, the rear of the ash frame was beginning to rot, and the aluminium body was cracking at the corners of the boot and sun roof. The interior was quite tatty, the leather being original, but with a number of holes and rips.

Over the last two years, we’ve stripped the body back to bear metal, and repainted in a dark blue. The interior re-upholstered in grey, and the woodwork re varnished.

It will be ready for hire, after a few mechanical tunings, in the Kent and Sussex areas only, from the beginning of April 2009. Heavy steering in slow manoeuvres, it is a fairly easy car to drive, with an all-sychromesh gearbox, and the accelerator moved from the centre to the normal right hand position.

SOLD

Having purchased this car in early 2003, I managed to blow the engine. This has now been rebuilt, along with the uprating of the brakes. Has a racing clutch, and once on the open road it gives a glorious drive. N.b. The hood is a two person operation.

The well-known Jaguar XK range was first introduced in 1948 in the 120 guise, to be replaced by the 140 in 1954. By 1957 the first 150 was introduced, with a all new body panels, more simplistic, wrap round one piece screen, but giving more width, and cabin room.

There were three body types – the coupe, drop head coupe (DHC) and the roadster (OTS - open two seater). The OTS, like our’s, has the hood which folds away into the cabin, behind the seats, and the slightly cut away doors, giving a beautiful clean line to the car when the hood is down. Engines were either 3.4 or 3.8, and came in standard or "S" versions had straight-port heads and triple carbs . Our car has a 3.4S engine giving 250bhp.

Added to the Classic Touring car hire fleet autumn 2002, this classic car was totally restored in 1992, with the engine again being rebuilt in 1998.

This classic car is easy to drive, with a nice gearbox, it's more fun on A and B roads rather than motorways, although it has an overdrive. The hood is relatively easy to raise and lower. The boot space is minimal, but there is some space behind the seats.

The first Big Healey was a sensation at its launch at the 1952 Earls Court Motor Show, with its 4 cylinder 2660 cc engine from the Austin Atlantic, and known as the 100/4. BMC took the car under its wing, and became the Austin Healey, with the bodies being produced by Jensen of West Bromwich, and the assembly carried out by MG factory.

By 1956 the first six cylinder engine was introduced, and by 1959 this was replaced by the 3000 series, which lasted through to 1968 with various improvements and changes, the final model being the MK III, similar to our car.

This 2912 cc engine pushed out 148bhp, and was capable of a top speed of 120mph. Also this model became more luxurious with its wind up windows, better instruments and walnut facia dash.
