*Matching numbers
*Extensively improved

Footnotes
  • Retaining a 1922 California State registration document, chassis number '5491' is believed to have raced at Pomona in Los Angeles County during the late 1910s/early 1920s (see photographs on file). '5491' was dilapidated but mechanically complete when purchased by Geary Baese of Fort Collins, Colorado, who partially restored the car before selling it to fellow steam car enthusiast, Colin May of North Yorkshire, in 2006. Appreciating the Stanley's originality and provenance, Mr May set about returning the car to its original Runabout specification. The Stanley was registered as 'BF 4908' on 22nd August 2008, passing to the current vendor two years later.

    Since then the Stanley has been extensively refurbished and improved with the assistance of Stanley steam transport specialists JR Goold and Coachbuilder Mitchell Motors. The vendor undertook some of the work himself: fitting a new boiler, redesigning much of the plumbing, and adding extra pressure gauges for propane, steam chest, and cylinder steam oil. In addition, a Weir auxiliary water pump has been fitted to help fill the boiler (usable down to 100psi). Starting on neat petrol and running on a 50/50 petrol/diesel mixture, the vaporising tube is preheated by a propane gas pilot, continuously lit by spark ignition, with its own twin 3.9kg cylinders and auto-changeover propane system, which is ready to go.

    Recently repainted in Brewster Green with black wings, yellow chassis, and yellow (Ford Model T) wheels (a livery introduced for the 1910 season), the Stanley retains its original and correct engine, suspension, drive train, steering, and ancillaries, while the leather interior was re-trimmed recently by JR Goold. The Stanley was steamed last on its boiler test conducted successfully on 24 September 2019, the fresh boiler pressure and fuel systems safety certificate being issued to 24th November 2020. When in use the Runabout is said to possess "excellent climbing performance" and be capable of over 40mph.

    Benefiting from hundreds of hours of development over the last nine years, and having participated in many British steam car club tours, this unusually original Stanley benefits from a water tank refilling steam syphon and hose,
    locomotive-type multi-tone steam whistle, and rear hydraulic brakes. Spares include four rear wheels, a fire extinguisher, a burner jet pricking tool, fuel, water, oil and steam schematic, and spare boiler sight glass and gaskets. The documentation is also worth closer inspection, including operating instructions, a Model 60 10hp Runabout specification book, a quantity of photographs and records of a restoration undertaken in the 1970s, the all important boiler test certificate dated to November 2020, as well as old/current V5C documents and two large files containing sundry bills, assorted correspondence, etc.

Estimate-£ 40,000 - £ 60,000
                  US$ 52,000 - US$ 78,000
                  € 47,000 - € 70,000

Circa 1900 Locomobile project

10/22/2019

 
To be offered at Bonhams London to Brighton Run Sale, Veteran Motor Cars and Related Automobilia
1 Nov 2019, starting at 14:00 GMT with lot 1.
London, New Bond Street

c.1900 Locomobile Project
Engine no. 526
*Renowned high quality steam car maker
*Rare early steam-powered automobile
*Sold strictly as viewed


​Footnotes
  • Entrepreneurs A L Barber and J B Walker formed The Locomobile Company in 1899, having purchased the rights from the Stanley Brothers to manufacture a steam car to their design. Other interests diverted Walker from the partnership, though Barber was to continue, producing the first car from his Newton, Massachusetts works in 1899. This was a lightweight four-wheeler with wire wheels, its coachwork borrowing much from the horse-drawn era, which was powered by a twin-cylinder engine with a 14" boiler beneath the driver's seat. Power was progressively increased and by 1900 a 5½hp model was the norm. Steering was by a right-side tiller and final drive by a single block chain with a contracting brake operating on the open-drive differential. Fully elliptic springs (transverse at the front) provided a comfortable ride on the primitive roads in its country of manufacture.

    These Locomobile parts consist of water tank, engine, various axle components, spring, spindle seat and back, all of which are sold strictly as viewed. This project was found in France and now being sold from an English enthusiast's collection.

Estimate- £ 5,000 - £ 6,000
                   € 5,800 - € 7,000
                    US$ 6,500 - US$ 7,800

1900 Locomobile Steamer Type 2 5½hp Spindle Seat Runabout

*Rare early steam-powered automobile
*Imported from the USA in 1988
*Restored in 2018 by the British Engineerium
*Fully steam certified


Footnotes
​
  • Founded in 1899, Locomobile began by building steam-powered cars - essentially re-badged Stanleys - before switching to gasoline-powered automobiles in 1904. The Stanley brothers had sold out to John Brisben Walker who, together with business partner Amzi Lorenzo Barber, continued production under the Locomobile name at the existing plant in Watertown, Massachusetts. The partnership soon dissolved however, Barber retaining Locomobile while Walker went off to build the same car as the Mobile. By early 1901 Barber had relocated production to Bridgeport, Connecticut and by May 1902 more than 4,000 Locomobiles had been sold. These early Locomobiles were among the fastest road transport of their day - in 1902 S T Davis Jr drove a specially prepared racer over the measured mile at an average speed of 48mph. For all its speed, the writing was on the wall for the Locomobile; gasoline-powered automobiles had become increasingly refined and the steamer could not match them for range. In 1904 the company bowed to the inevitable and the Locomobile steamer was discontinued.

    Dating from a time when the internal combustion engine's universal hegemony had yet to be established, this remarkably conserved Locomobile steamer hails from Brooklyn where its history can be traced back to 1950 or thereabouts, having been stored in a loft in a scrapyard in that area. It remained in that ownership until 1988 when it was imported into the UK, and during the following nine years underwent a meticulous conservation/restoration. Safety modifications include a double-acting band brake, allowing some braking in reverse, and the fitting of a brace to the rear axle to prevent sagging. Both of these modifications, copies of in-period after-sales items, can easily be removed.

    Following restoration, this car successfully completed the London to Brighton Run in 2001. In 1999 it had been invited to attend the Cartier Style et Luxe Concours d'Élégance at The Goodwood Festival of Speed where it enjoyed the notable distinction of completing the slowest run of the weekend on the hill! The current vendor purchased the Locomobile at Bonhams' Beaulieu Sale in September 2007 (Lot 725).

    In 2018 the Locomobile was restored again, on this occasion by the British Engineerium under the supervision of Chief Engineer Peter Fagg and Second Engineer Michael Rozsnyaki.

    Steam cars are admirably catered for by both the Steam Car Club of Great Britain and the VCC of GB, which has officially dated this car as built in 1900. It carries a VCC Dating Plate and comes with a Science Museum dating letter and a V5C registration document. This rare and most desirable Locomobile steamer is eligible for any number of prestigious historic motoring events and gatherings.

Estimate £ 35,000 - £ 45,000
                  € 41,000 - € 52,000
                  US$ 46,000 - US$ 59,000

1903 Type B Stanley STEAM CAR For Sale

10/14/2019

 

                                                                For Sale
                                                       1903 Stanley Type B
Very original 1903 Brighton Run Car. This car has done many Brighton runs and there is a clip on YouTube of 2009 run.
This car won the 120 years of Stanley Cartier award at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2017 and the new owner will get the winning Silver Plate with the car.
The VCC Certificate of Date No 1980 says it is a Type A but it is registered as a Type B. The VCC also so say this is the most original Type A they have seen. It appears never to have been restored and has always been in running order. I am sure the bodywork has had work done but the engine and pumps seem original. The boiler was replaced in 2015 and the hydraulic certificate runs until 2025. The next Steam certificate is due in January 2020. In my ownership.
I have had hydraulic disc brakes fitted which apply to the engine not on the wheels. These are hidden under the car in a box. The car is much safer now on modern roads. She steams up and runs very well and is almost silent.
I am including a special hydraulic jack I have had made so the car can be run statically. I also have a tailor made waterproof cover. I have a number of articles of great interest about the car. If you are looking for a genuine original Stanley in very good working order, to take to shows or do the Brighton run look no further.
I have been advised that £75000.00 is about the right price but as these are so rare it is very difficult to know if this is right, if you would like to make an offer please let me know.
The car is near Chichester, West Sussex.
