The "SAFARI" Car, rare prototype/trials brochure, for "The New Town and Country Estate Car", Design No. 7501, 1957,
to be fitted to the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud or Bentley 'S' Series chassis by Harold Radford (Coachbuilders) Ltd., 17, Berkeley Street, London, W.1. and H.J. Mulliner & Co. Ltd., Bedford Park Works, Chiswick, London, W.4, eight pages, printed on one side, plus textured stapled light card cover, 4to. The brochure offers two printed line drawings of the Bentley Town and Country Estate car, as well as some details regarding the construction. A very rare item.

Footnotes

  • The "Safari" Car was primarily designed for use on the Bentley 'S' Series chassis, but could be used on the Silver Cloud chassis, if desired, as they were both basically identical to each other. Production, however, never commenced, for various reasons, although four left hand drive Silver Cloud chassis were eventually built just by H.J. Mulliner in 1959. Two L.W.B. cars and two S.W.B. cars.

and 12.5% on the balance thereafter. This applies to each lot purchased and is subject to VAT.

For Motor Cars and Motorcycles a 15% Buyer's Premium is payable on the first £50,000 of the final Hammer Price of each Lot, and 12% on any amount by which the Hammer Price exceeds £50,000. VAT at the standard rate is payable on the Premium by all Buyers, unless otherwise stated.

Some lots may be subject to VAT on the Hammer Price. These lots will be clearly marked with the relevant symbol printed beside the lot number in the catalogue.
