3rd Nov

For Sale: This car represents an almost unknown part of British tethered car history. In the late 40s and early 50s, importing American mite cars legally was prohibited but a member of the Chiltern Club came up with this alternative. The late and lamented F W Woolworth & Co were marketing a range of clockwork, toy cars. Remove the base plate and mechanism, replace with a plate base and an ED Bee or similar and there was a fun and cobby little car capable of 40mph.

This example is an original, British, Marx model with a VCG ED motor and four new Raylite wheels. Again being sold on behalf of the late owners family at £275, although, given the unusual nature of this car, offers will be considered.

For sale: Another super twinshaft conversion

Contact Paul or John Goodall email john(at)johngoodall.me.uk, or tel 01283 713715 again, selling the engine on behalf of the family. 

For sale: Unusual twinshaft conversion

The first of many twinshaft conversions commissioned from Alan Knight, built from existing engines or parts that will be available over the next months. Unfortunately this is due to the death of the owner so as with other items below are being sold on behalf of the family.

Engines from the collection of the late Ian Russell:

10cc Manx 60 designed and built originally in the late 1940s by Peter Larsen in Australia.  The origins of the design are quite evident and a while ago, David Owen built a series of numbered replicas. This example is number 4 from the series of 9, new and in a plain box, but no paperwork. Priced at £275 plus £10 for UK P&P by Royal Mail Special Delivery. Foreign shipping at cost.

Sale on behalf of the family by Jan Huning, with proceeds going directly to Ian's partner.

For Sale:
Approx 1933 Meccano Constructor, clockwork kit car, superbly restored to virtually as new condition, in fact it is that good a restoration I thought it was a replica as most of the metal work is as good as new, but I am told none have been made. Comes with correct Meccano key and has a powerful clockwork motor with a not very efficient brake. Steering can be adjusted, by turning the steering wheel. Must have replica tyres as they are supple like new. £850.  Offers or p/ex considered

For Sale:
A unique opportunity to have a crack at the magic 100mph with a twinshaft? Built by Bob Matonsen after seeing an early Slabang which he liked and decided to make his own copy. He converted a Super Tigre 15 to twin shaft with narrow track drive wheels. The rest is very 'Slabang like' including front suspension and the sleek body style, except it has the one piece fuel “Nip Off”, I believe designed by Lars O’Johnassen for the SMRU beginners car. Refinished in Stove enamel and ready to run. £750.
Very close offers or P/Ex considered
