                                                       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.

The car is a 1901 (September I think) that has been officially dated by the Veteran Car Club of Western Australia.
It is a “style No 5 Locosurrey” as shown in the sales catalog.
These differ from the 2 seater in that the 4 seater have longitudinal fully elliptical springs and a longer wheelbase.
The surrey suffers from the fact that the boiler is under the rear seat, making observation by the driver difficult (this is why FE & FO designed the fold down secondary seating front on the later Stanley's) however I’ve overcome the problem by fitting a reversing camera focused on the gauge glass and a small (removable) LED screen visible from the drivers position.
 
I purchased the car from Richard Mann of Kansas in 2006 a long way off completed. But it came with the original chassis, springs, axles & engine. It also came with a partially built replacement body, modeled off the original (that had rotted beyond all hope), a raw milled differential, a replacement water tank and raw castings for steam components. It also had extensive technical drawing, drawn by Richard (an aeronautical engineer) of the steam components.
 
The boiler is a new one purchased from Bourdon (spelling?) boiler works in the US. (the Aussie dollar was much more favorable then!).
 
I completed the body, built the seats, including upholstery, manufactured the steering tiller (which was fitted to the original tie rods and front axles)
 
I also built the burner, super-heater, steam controls, water pumps, fuel and air pressure system, controls, exhaust flue and everything else to complete the car.
 
It was road registered in June 2018.
 
I have provided the Brighton organisation with the history and restoration photos but they have a blanket ruling on Locomobiles requiring a full inspection by the VCC of GB 
 
I believe with the car authenticated it should be worth about $150,000 AUD but obviously cannot achieve anything like this without such paperwork. 
 
Anyway I would like to achieve, a minimum of $80,000.00 AUD for the car and believe it represents excellent value at that price. It obviously owes me substantially more than that.
 
I can supply all the paperwork from Richard Mann, as well as my collection of information gathered over the last 12 years. I also have a partially complete 17 inch boiler shell that was originally supplied (before I obtained the one from the US) as well as assorted other bits and pieces, that I’ve collected.
​
I’m happy to supply any other information upon request. 
$80000.00 Australian Dollars.

Chassis 426

The fastest, most powerful road-going Stanley model ever produced. Well-maintained older restoration by the late Carl Amsley. Formerly owned by Richard C. Paine and Otis Chandler. An ideal steam tour car with remarkable performance The Stanley steam car had a well-earned reputation for performance in the early years of the automobile; its engineering was then seen as the pinnacle of high-tech design and made for a very fast car that famously set the land speed record at Ormond Beach, Florida, in 1906. Yet in many ways it was also something of the American Bugatti—a relatively small, light machine, without the impressive towering visuals of, say, a Peerless or a Pierce Great Arrow.That changed in 1908 with the introduction of what was truly the ultimate Stanley, the Model M, representing the peak of the company’s designs—what the 66 was to Pierce and the Limited to Oldsmobile. It was a roomy five-passenger touring car; like the famous Model K, it was built on a 114-inch-wheelbase chassis and equipped with the largest and most potent 30-horsepower engine and a 550 psi boiler. These mechanical specifications, identical to the land-speed-record-setting Stanley of fame, could propel the Model M and its passengers along at 70 mph for as long as there was water in the tank. In performance and stature, it was every bit the equal of any internal-combustion road car the world’s builders could create to challenge it. It was humbly but quite accurately described by its builders thus: “We believe this is the most powerful stock touring car ever built in the world.”Very expensive, the Model M was small in number; only 75 were made over two seasons, 1908 and 1909, and no original example has survived.

Fortunately, as with many Stanleys, several very authentic and high-quality examples have been produced since from original parts, among them that offered here. It was built by the late Carl Amsley of St. Thomas, Pennsylvania, the most well-known Stanley expert of his era, highly regarded for the craftsmanship and excellent engineering of his cars. Completed in 1978, the car was awarded National First Prize in Antique Automobile Club of America competition, testament to the build quality involved.The completed Model M was acquired by Joseph L. Knapp of St. Cloud, Florida, then passed to the revered collector and sportsman Otis Chandler, a man who appreciated high performance from all eras. In 1985 it was exchanged in one of Mr. Chandler’s regular transactions with Richard C. Paine’s famed Seal Cove Auto Museum of Maine. There it remained alongside several other highly notable Stanleys until 2008, when it was acquired by John Muckel. It has now resided in the good care of the Muckel Collection for over a decade.Today the restoration shows little overall use and good cosmetic care, with its rich, dark green finish accented in black, and a chassis, artillery wheels, and striping in lemon yellow. The interior is upholstered in button-tufted black leather overseen by a black cloth top. Accessories, the highlight of any Brass automobile, include Rushmore acetylene headlamps, E&J kerosene sidelights and taillight, a trumpet-style bulb horn, and two large side-view mirrors affixed to the windshield frame. The car is accompanied by a selection of reprinted manuals and literature.Every Stanley enthusiast should desire a Model M—the ultimate performance thrill from a company that built the fastest land-going vehicles of its era. It is an engineer and tinkerer’s dream, fairly begging to move speedily once again down a country highway.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at - details above.

Footnotes

• During motoring's pioneer period, while battery electrics were successful as a short-range town carriage and even shorter-range speed record breakers, steam and petrol cars seemed roughly equal in the duel to achieve commercial dominance. The steam engine's ability to develop maximum torque at minimum revolutions meant steam cars did not require the demanding and noisy gear change systems vital with a petrol engine. Neither did it demand those two most unreliable items - a carburettor and an ignition system. Because of its low-speed torque a steam engine could be geared to run at a speed below which vibration might intrude. It was quiet and clean, and early on for every rural engineer who understood petrol engines there would be a hundred who knew steam...
  
  Francis E and Freeland O Stanley were identical twins whose Stanley Dry Plate Company produced photographic equipment. The brothers also designed steam cars, experimenting with a solitary prototype in 1887 before reviving the project in 1897. By the following year they had built three more, one of which completed a spectacular demonstration in Charles River Park, Boston where it successfully scaled an 80ft incline that had defeated its rivals. Orders for 200 cars resulted and the Stanleys were in business. That first design was sold to John Brisben Walker and manufactured as the 'Locomobile', while the Stanleys progressed to a non-condensing engine driving the rear axle directly, with a rear-mounted boiler, production of which commenced in 1902. With Mobile out of business by 1903 and Locomobile by that time making petrol-engined cars, Stanley dominated the steam-car market and continued to do so until 1927 when steamer production ceased. Stanley's sole UK agent was F Wilkinson of Manchester.
  
  This Stanley's late owner died recently in a helicopter accident and since his passing it has only been possible to locate limited information concerning the car. Accompanying documentation consists of a copy of the V5C Registration Certificate; a bill for a new burner installation and other works by J R Goold Steam Restorations Ltd (2008); and an SPF Inspection and Consultancy report on the condition of the boiler dated 18th December 2018. It is stated therein that the next Thorough Examination must be carried out by 27th January 2020. It should also be noted that the V5C records the date of first UK registration as 1st February 1980 and incorrectly states that this vehicle is powered by a 2,000cc petrol engine.

Estimate £40,000-£50,000 GBP

​Locomobile Steam Cars were the largest selling automobile in 1901 selling some 3,000 units. Most of them are the 2 seater variety but there were 4 seaters produced as well, these are extremely rare.  The surrey is style number 5 and one of the most handsome of the type. 
Designed by FE & FO Stanley, the Locomobile company produced steam vehicles until 1902, when they switched to internal combustion. 

I've spent 12 years restoring this car from components I purchased from an elderly gentleman in Kansas who had realised he wouldn't get around to it. 
September 1901 this car was produced as dated by the Western Australian veteran Car Club and has a Don Bourdon 17 1/2 inch boiler, it uses 98 octane fuel through the burner which heats the water to 200psi, from here it is led through the throttle and super-heater to the twin reciprocating pistons. the power (8 power strokes per 2 crank revolutions) is transmitted via a 5/8 link chain to the dual drum differential and then to the rear wheels. 
All steam, water, air and fuel equipment is new and in excellent order. 
the steam automatic (shuts fuel at 210psi) is new from Stanley Steam Supplies, as is the throttle. 

Heaps of photos, video, information, history and material available.

1922 Stanley for sale


It was restored about thirty years ago and has now been idle for about five years. Major stroke forces sale. I'd like to get the car out of the garage before the next fire season forces evacuation, again.


This car has been set up for touring, as per its namesake: It was driven from Santa Rosa, CA to Estes Park, CO for the inauguration of the Stanley Museum in the Stanley Hotel; it was driven from, again, Santa Rosa, CA to Santa Barbara, CA along highway 1; in 2002 it was also shipped to Melbourne, Australia where we met up with it and toured with the Aussies in their first steam car tour. Sue Davis, founder and retired director of the Stanley Museum in Kingfield, ME, said it was the only condensing car able to keep up with non-condensers - that she knew of. The car has a 30hp Bourdon boiler (now almost thirty years old) and a 30hp Crubin burner. It has in it a Nergaard piston valve block with Cunningham chrome moly connecting rods (pictured in photo, hanging on peg board); a stock block with polished ports comes with it, as well as most of a spare rear axle assembly and spare, miscellaneous items and tools, alloy condenser and trailer.
