Lot #	Details	Estimate
1	1945 Supermarine Mk XVI Spitfire The sale comes in a double anniversary year for military aircraft - it is the 90th anniversary of the formation of the Royal Air Force at the end of the First World War, and it is also exactly 70 years since the Spitfire first became operational in 1938. Bonhams & Goodman are delighted to be offering the 1945 Supermarine Spitfire MK XVI in their inaugural sale of collectors' motorcars in New Zealand. More Information	-
2	1914 Daimler 25hp Tourer  The Daimler Motor Co Ltd, of London and Coventry proudly announced in their 1900 catalogue: ‘We claim not only to be the pioneers of the industry in this country, but also to have kept the lead, thus placing Daimler Motor Carriages a long way ahead of all others.' They paid due respect to Gottlieb Daimler and the ‘Daimler' system, and offered a range of twin- and four-cylinder cars and commercial vehicles. More Information	$45,000-$55,000
3	1930 Auburn Model 125 Rumble Seat Roadster While the American automobile industry's development in its formative years had been guided by the inventor/engineer, its progress between the wars was shaped not so much by technicians as by entrepreneurs. One such was Auburn boss Errett Lobban Cord, who once admitted to having made and lost $50,000 three times in the course of his business dealings, and all before reaching the age of 21! When Cord joined Auburn as general manager in 1924 the company was in the doldrums, making more cars than it could sell and heading for bankruptcy. More Information	$85,000-$105,000
4	1930 Rolls-Royce 20/25hp Sedanca De Ville The introduction of a smaller Rolls-Royce, the 20hp, in 1922 enabled the company to cater for the increasingly important owner-driver market that appreciated the quality of Rolls-Royce engineering but did not need a car as large as a 40/50hp Ghost or Phantom. The ‘Twenty' proved eminently suited to town use, yet could cope admirably with Continental touring when called upon. More Information	$70,000-$90,000
5	1932 MG F-Type Magna Sports General Manager of Oxford-based Morris Garages, Cecil Kimber brought sports car motoring within the financial reach of the man in the street with a succession of affordable MGs. These were, naturally enough, based on existing Morris models, arguably the most famous and certainly the most influential being the Midget, the first version of which appeared in 1928 at the London Motor Show. More Information	$55,000-$65,000
6	1934 Rolls-Royce 20/25hp Sports saloon The introduction of a smaller Rolls-Royce, the 20hp, in 1922 enabled the company to cater for the increasingly important owner-driver market that appreciated the quality of Rolls-Royce engineering but did not need a car as large as a 40/50hp Ghost or Phantom. The ‘Twenty' proved eminently suited to town use, yet could cope admirably with Continental touring when called upon. More Information	$45,000-$55,000
7	1949 Ford V8 ‘Woodie’ Station Wagon & Caravan The V8 engine was no novelty when Henry Ford introduced the Ford V8 in 1932, but never before had such an engine been produced successfully in large numbers and at so low a price. Styling followed the lines of the superseded Model A, but with an extra 25bhp the newcomer's performance was in an entirely different league. More Information	-
8	1950 Bentley MkVI Waumsley Special  The policy of rationalisation begun in the late 1930s continued at Rolls-Royce after the war with the introduction of standard bodywork on the MkVI Bentley, though customers could still opt for a coachbuilt alternative. Rolls-Royce's first post-WW2 product, the MkVI was introduced in 1946, a year ahead of the Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith. More Information	$35,000-$45,000
9	Jaguar Mk V More Information	-
