This lot consists of two framed vintage print advertisements featuring historic British motor cars from the early to mid-20th century.

The first advertisement is a colour-illustrated promotion for the Wolseley 14/56 h.p. Saloon, manufactured by Wolseley Motors Ltd. of Birmingham. The stylised illustration depicts a dark green four-door saloon set against a minimalist landscape. The accompanying text highlights performance specifications, including a top speed of 70.87 m.p.h. and a price of £265 ex works. The advertisement is set behind glass with a light green mount and a wooden frame featuring a silver-coloured inner bead.

The second advertisement is a black and white print for the Armstrong Siddeley 6 Cylinder Car, produced by Armstrong Siddeley Motors Limited of Coventry. The text identifies the vehicle as a 1921 model with an R.A.C. rating of 29.5 h.p., describing it as The Motor Carriage of Perfect Comfort. A line of text at the base reads YOU CANNOT BUY A BETTER CAR. This print is presented within a dark brown mount and a matching wooden frame.
