scrapyard yielded a near complete vehicle, from chassis to radiator, dated water reservoir tank marked '4/3' (for April 1903), bonnet, steering column, etc. all in a dismantled state. Its only major omissions were that it lacked its original twin cylinder engine and the majority of its wooden body had long since been lost. For the next two decades George worked diligently on the Renault with the sourcing of a period correct Renault twin cylinder unit proving elusive until eventually one was tracked down in France. George Dorrington finished the Type N-C in the mid-1990s and it was duly submitted for Veteran Car Club dating, and its year of 1903 confirmed then. Ever since, the car has been a regular sight on the London to Brighton Run. Bonhams Motoring Department Senior Specialist, Rob Hubbard, who is overseeing the sale, commented, 'This year we are able to offer some real rarities from the dawn of motoring presented in wonderful condition. Our top lots have proved their worth in many Veteran Car rallies all over the world and I expect a lot of interest from collectors keen to acquire a piece of motoring history.' Note Each year, on the Friday before the world-famous London to Brighton Run, Bonhams holds a sale of Veteran Motor Cars. This year's Run takes place on Sunday 6 November. The sale consists of 215 lots and in addition to Veteran cars also offers quantities of rare automobilia.
