It was this 1936 Rosengart that caught our eye when perusing the H & H auction catalogue for the sale being held on 24 February at Donington Park in UK.
Found in Bordeaux in a dismantled state, this LR4/N2 model has been completely restored and features an early ' Fencer's Mask' radiator grille and a one-piece bonnet as found on its little sisters, the earliest Austin 7 Chummies. A charming car at a charming price - we look forward to seeing it back on the road.
The 1929 Morris Oxford Tourer is a delightful practical car but the description tells us nothing. The engine looks complete and ready to run - however something tells us it has stood for a long time and will need careful inspection. The car is known to the club, which has plentiful spares, so here is your chance to enjoy open-air vintage motoring.
The 1928 Morris Oxford Tourer is also known to the club and was made into a pick-up during WW2 - indicative of the strong enduring qualities of these faithful Morris cars. It looks sound and it's hood survives. A worthy restoration if you can buy it cheap enough.
3 wheeler Morgan's prices have gone up and up so why not buy a 1933 BSA which also has 3 wheels and a V twin. The 1021cc Hotchkiss engine drives the front wheels through a differntial mounted between them. A great fun little car needing basic restoration.
If you want a car you can jump into and drive away, then perhaps the 1934 MG PA is for you? Said to ' run well with good oil pressure' but Hey! - it's an old British sports car, so we understand when they say... ' would benefit from further fettling'.
We can see alot of fun to be had with these cars - especially the fettling!
