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, and a set of these books comes with the car.   Also comes with a bundle of paperwork, and two very nice framed presentation montages (see photograph). 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.

We are very pleased to offer for sale this super example of the highly desirable pre-war TA Midget.  This car was first registered in October 1938 and comes with a comprehensive history file, which includes a photograph album charting its complete restoration over a 26 year period from 1974 to 2000.  Originally finished in Saxe Blue (in our opinion not the best colour for a T Type), it was repainted during its restoration in the current, more attractive colour scheme which is reminiscent of the earlier pre-war MGs.  The restoration work carried out was extensive, including a total strip-down, new body tub and rebuild of all mechanicals to include engine and gearbox rebuild.  A new wiring loom was fitted.  Much of this work was carried out by a well-known MG restorer, Andy King and the beautiful, mostly leather interior was provided by Collingburn.  The car remains in excellent condition including paintwork, interior and underside.  The bespoke canvas hood, side screens, and full and half tonneau covers are pretty much like new.  The spoked wheels are in good condition.  All the dials are correct and seem to be working (not sure about the clock) and there is even the original reserve petrol switch, slow running cable and fully fitted tool box.  The doors on this car do fit very well.  Driving this car is great fun, with an easy start-up, nice gearbox and clutch, and good brakes for a pre-war car.  The large file of paperwork includes V5C and continuation book, along with a useful lubrication chart, wiring diagram etc.

Owned by the previous keeper for 33 years, this lovely 1500cc MG TF in Almond Green, is in very good order throughout.  Although we don’t have much history on this car, it is obvious that it has undergone a comprehensive restoration and that it has been well maintained ever since.  The 1500 TF is highly desirable, and is definitely the best of the T Types for everyday usage.  This car starts easily and drives very well indeed, with good performance, strong engine, excellent gearbox, back axle and suspension.  We have just fitted four brand new Continental tyres onto the chrome wire wheels which are again, in excellent order.  The paintwork is very good with just a few age-related blemishes, the underside is as clean as a whistle, as is the under-bonnet area.  The interior is in good order and to the original specification, and the canvas hood, side screens  and tonneau cover are all first class.  The car will come with a new MOT.  We have a continuation book from 1964 and current V5C.

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.

First registered in February 1973 (built in November 1972), this MGB is in fine fettle, with good bodywork, excellent paintwork in Nightfire Red, and mainly good interior with only a few areas to maybe improve – good headlining.  We are unsure when the car was repainted in its current colour, but we have a good history file showing extensive restoration a number of years ago.  The door gaps are good, tailgate and bonnet fit well, and the underside is tidy, as is the engine bay.  It has a replacement Ivor Searle engine which we understand is unleaded.  The car starts easily, has good oil pressure and drives very well with excellent performance, quiet back axle and gearbox, and properly working overdrive.  Electronic ignition has been fitted.  New brake discs have been fitted recently, the matching tyres have not covered many miles, and the part-chrome Rostyles are in fairly good condition.  Electric power steering has been fitted which makes for lighter steering.  There is a British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate, V5C and MOT to 31^st July 2024, and photographs of the restoration in the aforementioned history file.  A nice MGB for not a lot of money.  There is a short video of this car in action on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
