1923 Vauxhall Type OD 23-60 Malvern TourerRegistration no. SV 7736Chassis no. OD 720 Prior to 1925, when Vauxhall was taken over by General Motors, the firm was renowned for producing handsome, finely engineered cars that put it on a par with Bentley or Sunbeam. Introduced in 1922, the 23-60 was a development of the 4.0-litre, four-cylinder, sidevalve-engined D-Type Vauxhall
The ‘White Mars’ is legendary within German motorcycling circles. It even featured on a Deutsche Bundespost stamp in 1983. So what’s so special about this motorcycle? Although it first appeared in 1920, the styling still looks radical today. And at the time, the 986 cc sidevalve flat twin engine—built by Maybach—was considered enormous. The two-speed Mars MA21 was also available in red and green, but it’s the stark, minimal white option that has become intrinsically associated with this bike. It's just so different from the usual motorcycles produced between the wars. Mars was based in Nürnberg, Germany, and built motorcycles
We have shown it earlier on these pages, but we can't get enough of Tim Gunn's faithful interpretation of a sporting cyclecar based on the 1913 book "How to build a cyclecar" and an article from the cyclecar magazine from 1913 telling the story of an employee of the GN works who built a 1/2 size GN using bicycle and motorcycle components. 1919 300cc JAP sidevalve motorcycle engine with racing cams - 3 speed Sturmey Archer motorcycle lightweight gearbox and ash wooden chassis frame. The result is the bare essence of the cyclecar: not too much more weight than a light motorcycle with two extra wheels. Lightyears below the French standard which allowed for a maximum of 350 kilograms. Photos courtesy The Old Bicycle Showroom.
Les Grandes Marques du Monde au Grand Palais Bonhams Estimated : € 15.000 - 25.000 Sold for € 19.550 Parijs - Paris Frankrijk - France February 2018 - One of the most successful FIATs of its day - Rare sports variant - Supplied new to Belgium FIAT's first post-WWI introduction in the small-capacity class was the Tipo 501. Like the pre-war Zero model, the 501 was powered by a four-cylinder sidevalve engine, though of slightly smaller (1,460cc) capacity, and would prove to be an outstanding success with over 45,000 sold between 1919 and 1926. Also available was a slightly more powerful Tipo 510S sports version, some 2,600 of which were built. The FIAT archives record the fact that chassis number '1241686' was supplied new to Liège, Belgium, a hilly area that explains the small sized wheels (730x130). The latter size was one of three offered by the factory and would have given the car better acceleration and climbing power, at the expense of ultimate top speed. The earliest paperwork dates from 1945 when the FIAT was registered to one Jean Fontaine of Liège. Also present is a 'Carnet de Roulage' (Permission to Drive) recording every trip the car made between November 1945 and June 1946. At that time petrol was rationed and Mr Fontaine's FIAT was supposed to be for business use only, hence the Carnet. The last official paperwork relating to Mr Fontaine's ownership dates from October 1956. In 1957, the FIAT was registered in the name of Olivier Halleux of Verviers, Belgium, a well-known collector, passing in 1977 to another Belgian collector, Fernand Tiquet (sales invoice on file). The file also contains export paperwork, an old Contrôle Technique (1957), 'Certificat de Declaration' (1945), an original owner's manual, and a parts catalogue
