Some of you will turn away in dismay. You may primarily be interested in bright coloured Coupes and Convertibles. Sorry,  today we will zoom in on next week's auction of Brightwells but concentrate - for a change - on the not so bright coloured but quite long line up of pre-war saloons that will be on offer.  Starting with this most attractive 6 cylinder Alvis Crested Eagle Six Light Saloon by Charlesworth. A longnosed, sporty saloon with plenty of room  and comfort. We envy the next owner.
Yet there's more, much more to long for and to consider.  Only several hundreds of the Alvis Speed 25 were produced. Still missing specimen keep re-emerging form oblivion. And what's more this 1939 Speed 25SC bodied by Charlesworth has even more to offer. It was a 1939 private competitor in the Monte Carlo rally.  There's yet another Alvis Saloon, but that's 1947 and we stick with pre-wars here. 
The next one is a sheer statement. Not the prettiest ever but you will not go unnoticed when you arrive with a swing with this 1938 Austin 18 Windsor Limousine.  
When you are in the market for something highly usable and not so dear, then take a longer look at the 1938 Austin Big 7 Forlite Saloon.  There is another probably very-very cheap Light 12/4 saloon, yet that one is in a very sad-sad condition.  More cheers for the 1932 Austin Seven RP Saloon which not only is very presentable but has serious upgrades. 12 Volt and hydraulic brakes! Ready for anything.
When you are really in for serious continental mileage you could seriously consider the wellsorted Ford 3,6 Litre V8 Fordor Deluxe.
For Morris fans Brightwells has a threesome to choose from. Like this very attractive black over forest green 1935 Four door with original interior.   
Riley aficionados probably will keep an eye on the bidding on this '36 Adelphi 12/4.
More offferings in the Crewe department. A choice of three, er... that is saloons, be sure to check the longlist for more! Anyway there's one well cared for 20/25 Mulliner Saloon with a long and detailed history. And finally as a grand saloon finale a choice of two projects a decade apart. A 1927 20HP Saloon with lots of work, kindly described aby the auctioneer with 'lots of potential'. 
Similar words coem up with  the second RR saloon project. a 1937 25/30 Hooper 'stiff upperlip' Sports Saloon. 

Happy salooning! Brightwells, Wednesday 21 September
