Video: A piece of Yorkshire's motoring history under the hammer

The most extensive collection of historic cars will be on offer in the 14-year history of the sale organised by Bonhams autioneers.

Among the star lots are two Jowett motor cars, which were both produced at the Bradford-based company's headquarters in Idle in West Yorkshire.

A 1924 Jowett 7hp Type C is expected to sell for between 7,000 and 9,000 while a 1952 Jowett Javelin Saloon is due to fetch between 2,800 and 3,200.

The 1952 model caused a sensation when it was launched, though production ceased shortly before Jowett's demise in 1954.

Another Yorkshire-built car on sale is a 1929 Scott 596cc Flying Squirrel, invented by Bradford-born Alfred Angas Scott and dispatched new from the Scott Motorcycle Works in Saltaire, to dealers Jordan & Co of Hull.

A major part of the sale is the 42-strong collection of light cars and autocycles accumulated by the late collector Jack Tattersall, which includes the 1924 Jowett 7hp Type C.

One of the highlights of Tattersall's collection is a 1913 Adler 9hp 1.3-litre Kleinwagen two-seater, which has attracted a pre-sale estimate of 20,000 – 25,000.

First registered in Huddersfield, the car was actively rallied during the 1950s, 60s and 70s, notably taking part in the Austin Golden Jubilee Rally in 1955.

It was acquired by Tattersall at Bonhams London sale in December 2008, having stood unused for 25 years.
