A CONCOURS LOVE STORY

The exquisitely detailed 1927 Rolls-Royce 'Phantom of Love' captured Best in Show at the Concours of Elegance, held at Hampton Court Palace from 5-7 September. Commissioned by Woolworth's financial director in the UK, Clarence Gasque, for his wife, the heiress of the American retail company, the Phantom I was bodied by Charles Clark & Son Ltd of Wolverhampton to an extravagant specification that took 10 months to complete, at a cost of £6500. Its showpiece interior trim remains remarkably intact, complete with French tapestries and neat details such as hidden lights in the ceiling's gilded cornice. After Gasque's untimely death in 1928, at the age of 54, the car was put into storage and only sold on in 1952 to collector Stanley Sears. Careful ownership since has preserved it in the condition that won the approval of its fellow concours entrants to take this year's overall crown.

Car clubs head west for Haynes celebration

The inaugural John Haynes Classic took over the Haynes Motor Museum in Sparkford, Somerset, on 7 September, coinciding with the venue’s 40th anniversary. The day celebrated the man as much as the cars he loved: John Haynes passed away in February 2019, and one of the sessions on the live stage brought his family and friends together to remember him. Other discussions considered ’80s icons, the future for classic cars and programmes to engage the next generation.

AN AUSTIN ROVER HOARD

A SUNBEAM'S SLOW RETURN

Restoration is a long and arduous process, so it is not unusual for rebuilds to be left unfinished for lengthy periods. Sandy Arbuthnot from Aberdeenshire has recently acquired the stalled restoration of a 1930 Sunbeam 16hp two-light Coupé, with a body style similar to that of the classic ‘doctor’s coupé’. It was registered in Wolverhampton in 1930 to a Miss Swift, and the Sunbeam Talbot Darracq Register knows some of the car's subsequent owners, but there are gaps.
