Hispano-Suiza Alfonso XIII - 1913 by Perico001 RM...

Hispano-Suiza Alfonso XIII - 1913 by Perico001 RM Sotheby’s Place Vauban Parijs - Paris Frankrijk - France February 2020 Estimated : € 650.000 - 900.000 Unsold One of the most prestigious names of Edwardian motoring, Hispano-Suiza established itself at the pinnacle of automotive engineering with a reputation that was arguably only matched by Rolls-Royce. This reputation was hard-won by the talents of Swiss engineer Marc Birkigt whose successful development of Hispano-Suiza race cars led to the Type 15, later becoming known as Alfonso XIII after the King of Spain became enamoured with the model. Fitted with a 3.6-litre, four-cylinder 15T engine producing 64 bhp at 2,300 rpm, the Alfonso XIII was guaranteed to achieve 120 km/h, a scarcely believable figure at the time, with an example achieving a lap at Brooklands at 81.51 mph. This Alfonso XIII, chassis no. 2192, is a later, long-chassis example (118-inch wheelbase) fitted with a desirable four-speed gearbox. It was bought by Major William Pitt during his undergraduate studies at Cambridge in the early 1920s, and he used it for various adventures, including a tour of Switzerland, VCC runs, and the 1934 RAC Rally where he finished 118th. During his ownership of over 50 years, he fitted a Sunbeam front axle to allow the fitment of front brakes, along with an SU carburettor. Pitt passed away in 1978, and three ownerships followed, including two major collections, before joining the current noteworthy stable. Upon entering the current ownership, it was decided to fully restore chassis no. 2192, so the mechanicals were rebuilt and a period-correct boat-tail body was fitted; notably, a correct Hispano-Suiza front axle was fitted during Mallya’s ownership. Used for vintage club events since the restoration, this Alfonso XIII has been cherished and is ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian. Most important, the attractive two-seater body that had been on the car since it was bought by Major Pitt, and is believed to be original, is complete and separately accompanies this Hispano-Suiza; this will allow a future custodian the opportunity to restore the Hispano back to its period specification, thus making it an appealing potential concours entrant. With known ownership for the vast majority of its life and presented in fantastic condition with its matching-numbers engine, this Alfonso XIII is truly one of the great cars of the 20th century. https://flic.kr/p/2jqjo5g

Renault engineering was of the highest quality from the outset, and the arrival of multi-cylinder models really put the company on the map. By 1904 Renault was building its own engines: large-capacity fours at first, followed by the AX twin that later developed into the AG, famous for its WWI role as the ‘Taxi de la Marne’. Powered by a 1,100cc twin-cylinder engine of 8hp and featuring the 'coal scuttle’ bonnet and bulkhead-mounted radiator that would characterise Renaults until the late 1920s, the AX arrived at a time when the motor car was beginning to gain a measure of respectability. The unreliability of early cars had provided good cause for public scepticism but the advent of the AX, destined to become Renault’s pre-WWI best seller, ushered in a new era. Here was an easy-to-drive car of simple design, whose mechanical workings even a technically illiterate layman might begin to understand. The water-cooled twin with its mechanically operated valves was simple and robust, endearing qualities to the novice motorist, and the three-speed gearbox was easy to master. For so small a car the AX possessed unparalleled flexibility between 8km/h and 56km/h in top gear, clinging to that gear on all but the steepest gradients.
Described by the vendor as partially restored and in generally good condition, this Renault AX voiturette is offered with Belgian Carte Grise and ASI Certificato di Omologazione. https://flic.kr/p/2g2zQLQ

Siata Daina Gran Sport type A barchetta - 1952 by Perico001...

Siata Daina Gran Sport type A barchetta - 1952 by Perico001 Societa Italiana Auto Trasformazioni Accessori
Coachwork by Stabilimenti Farina
Chassis no. SLO216

Founded in 1926 in Turin, Italy by Giorgio Ambrosini, SIATA (Societa Italiana Auto Trasformazioni Accessori) began life as a tuning firm specialising in the modification of FIATs. When the company, now renamed SIATA Auto SpA, eventually introduced its first production car in 1949, FIAT components, in this case sourced from the Topolino, were the logical choice for the new Amica cabriolet. During the 1950s and on into the ‘60s, a variety of US engines including Crosley, Ford and Chrysler V8s was adopted in addition to FIAT’s home-grown motors.

The Torinese firm’s next effort, based on the FIAT 1400, was the Rallye, a traditionally styled roadster bearing more than a passing resemblance to the MG TD. Not all SIATA’s designs were so obviously plagiarised, the series of FIAT 8V 2.0-litre V8-powered coupés of the 1950s, equipped with a variety of stylish Italian coachwork from the likes of Stabilimenti Farina, Vignale and Bertone and arguably the firm’s finest creations, being particularly striking. We should also mention the similarly powered 208C Spyder - sister car of the Gran Sport – made famous by such owners as Steve McQueen, who dubbed his 'my little Ferrari’.

SIATA’s Daina model of the early 1950s was based on the FIAT 1400 and built in both Convertible and Coupé forms, most of the former being bodied by Stabilimenti Farina and the latter by Bertone. Later cars were designated 'SL’ Scatolato Lamiera – literally: sheet metal box). The Daina used the FIAT 1400 overhead-valve engine, modified by SIATA with a special cylinder head, pistons, and twin-carburettor inlet manifold. A 1,500cc unit was available as an option.

SIATA was active in racing from its earliest days, and a Daina Gran Sport driven by Dick Irish and Bob Fergus won its class in the inaugural Sebring 12 Hours race of 1952, finishing 3rd overall ahead of many larger-engined cars. The nimble handling of these cars was highly regarded in the USA, where many were modified to accept larger engines. SIATA was also a regular competitor in the famed Mille Miglia race in Italy.

The car offered here is an example of the rare SIATA Daina Gran Sport Type A. The Type A, distinguishable by its front-hinged bonnet and engine sitting over the front wheels, is much less numerous than the Type B, and it is estimated that only eight at most still exist. It is believed that chassis number 'SL0216’ was originally sold by SIATA importer Ernie McAfee of Hollywood, California and shipped to Dayton, Ohio by a colonel in the United States Air Force. This is a well-known car with ownership history documented from the early 1980s onwards. It has spent most of its life in the USA, was registered in Germany from late 2006 and is currently registered as '278 YUB’ in the UK.

The car was probably fitted with a 1,400cc SIATA engine originally (although it is possible that it was supplied without an engine) but this was replaced in the 1950s with a 265ci Chevrolet V8. When sold in 1969, the car had no drive train; by 1972 a 240bhp Ford 302ci V8 had been installed.

In 2014, an extensive restoration was carried out by Premium Classic Cars of Sudbourne, Suffolk in preparation for the 2015 Mille Miglia, for which the car was accepted. Works undertaken included returning the drive train and other areas, including the engine bay, to period specification. To this end, engine number 'SL0209’ (recorded as an original SIATA unit) was installed, and Borrani wire wheels fitted, painted in gloss black like those of SIATA’s original Mille Miglia car.

In terms of originality, great efforts were made to restore 'SL0216’ as close as possible to original specification. However, the interior, though period, is not entirely original; rather, it has been configured to be comfortable for the Mille Miglia while at the same time incorporating a number of safety features (all as allowed by the Mille Miglia scrutineers). Noteworthy accessories include a rally trip meter, full tonneau, and auxiliary sockets for iPhone, etc.

Unfortunately, a water pump failure forced the car to retire from the 2015 Mille Miglia. It was accepted again for the Mille Miglia in 2016, prepared by Century Classics of Hungerford, and this time successfully completed the race. The car is presented today exactly as it finished the last Mille Miglia, still wearing the livery of 2015 and 2016. Nothing has been done to the car since the 2016 Mille Miglia, other than repairing the brake master cylinder to overcome the only problem affecting it during that event. The car will come with a spare water pump (the weak point that eliminated it from the 2015 Mille Miglia). Accompanying documentation consists of a current MoT certificate, UK V5C Registration Certificate, FIVA papers, and a full photographic record of the restoration.

From arguably the most evocative period of post-war sports car racing, this ultra-rare SIATA has been much admired at the Mille Miglia and has the potential for further development. Opportunities to acquire strong, Mille Miglia-eligible cars are increasingly rare, particularly when they are in recently restored condition like this one.

Speedy Mouse.

Records have always fascinated people. Sita wanted to show an enthusiastic clientele that its special cylinder head designed to improve the performance of the Fiat 500 Toppling really worked, so it had this open record-breaker built on a pre-war Fiat chassis. The unique hand-made bodywork came from Motto in Turin.
