The Stanbury TT was a hand built custom kit car by a husband and wife team David and Jan Quick. It all started in 1982 when David acquired a Triumph 2 seater and it failed its MOT.
Upon removing the body to inspect the rot that had failed the MOT, David found it was actually a very simply Triumph Herald chassis underneath and he had a lightbulb moment. Why not rebuild it himself with his own tweaks, which he did, and then he got it through all of the necessary car regulations to be registered on the road.
The duo went on to make a second car and improved the design learning from car number 1. They then used car number 2 for all of the designs and blue prints to make 10 more cars. They also used the designs from number 2 to create flat pack kits for others to buy and build their own.
The interior is sparse but purposeful, it’s a combination of wood and leather. Two of the dials don’t seem to be connected currently. There is no roof on this model, what you see is what you get.
The majority of the exterior is polished aluminium, there are some watermarks on the metal itself but obviously no corrosion. The bonnet opens in two half's and is held down by leather straps.
The wheels have a few corrosion marks but no damage, the tyres are all healthy. There is a black roll bar behind the seats.
The 1300cc Triumph lump is throaty and responsive, its running twin carbs and a Kent performance cam. The engine bay is honest and there is no sign of any leaks , it's nice and dry.
The wiring seems to have had some work done or replaced with new fairly recently.
Lightweight two seaters like this are often the weapon of choice for hillclimb or off road trials enthusiasts, this vehicle would suit either of those lifestyles.
Being number 2 from a very limited run (12) of hand crafted vehicles makes this particular car very rare indeed but because it is based on a Triumph Herald parts there are still parts around.
This car is all about the driving , you would need to be someone who is willing to man handle this little pocket rocket around the twisties and if you do, you’ll be handsomely rewarded in Smiles per gallon. Fun is the name of the game here.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
Bid Amount

£0 to £9,999
£100.00

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
