The Market; all pre-war cars for sale

This Overhead 680 was originally sold in Harrogate, Yorkshire and has remained in that county all its life, enjoying only four owners from new. The machine is described as being in ‘fair-to-good’ overall condition but has been kept in storage since undergoing restoration 12 years ago and thus will need re-commissioning and the customary safety ..

Dating from the second year of four-valve Rudge production, this Vintage ‘500’ was supplied new in Wien, Austria by Alois Wutte, whose dealer plaque remains fixed to the front mudguard. Apparently substantially original, the machine has not been used for some time and thus will require re-commissioning before further use.

This 350cc Dollar has the Chaise unit-construction overhead-cam engine. Restored in the 1990s, this rare machine has not been started while in the current owner’s possession and thus will require re-commissioning before further use.

Considerable mechanical refurbishment (invoices available) was undertaken by the immediately preceding owner, and the vendor has continued this process, bringing ‘SM3914’ to the peak of perfection over the course of the past few years.

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..

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..

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. A vast amount time, effort, and money has been invested in this vehicle and it is mechanically excellent.

This charming early 3-litre car has a delightful patina of use and would probably leave most ‘concours’ cars standing at the traffic lights.

Driving equipment includes Lucas headlamps and Toby torpedo side lamps, fold-flat windscreen and Brookland..
