By the end of the 1920s Renault had become a massive operation, as prominent in the field of commercial vehicle manufacture as that of cars, and this left-hand drive light van is based on the Type NN chassis. We are advised that the vehicle was restored by Beaufort Restoration Services (UK) Ltd in 1989 at a cost of £38,000 and comes with related b..
Unlike its revolutionary Lambda V4 predecessor, the Dilambda did not use a stress-bearing body but reverted to a separate chassis. A new design, the latter possessed exceptional torsional rigidity, a virtue necessitated by its independent front suspension. Narrow-angle vee-configuration engines were a Lancia speciality, the Dilambda’s 3,960cc ove..
This 4-Seater Chummy was manufactured at Austin’s Longbridge factory 15 July 1927. During what might have been a final journey to a breaker’s yard in the 1950s. While still complete and largely original on acquisition, sensitively applied refurbishment carried out during the last year has included repainting the bodywork in Kingfisher Blue, tri..
Supplied new in 1924 to a Doctor who spent 40 driving the car on his rounds daily. It returned to Europe 10 years ago and underwent a full mechanical re-build by Arthur Archer in Great Dunmow Essex.

The car offered here – chassis number ‘4724’ – is one of only two known surviving examples of the Type 30 bodied by favoured coachbuilders Lavocat et Marsaud. According to factory sales records, ‘4724’ was produced in December 1925, invoiced to Dubuisson, of St Quentin, near Lille, presumably the local Bugatti agent, and delivered on 28..
