Lot details

Registration No: 4836 PK
Chassis No: M062006
MOT: Exempt

  • Understood to be the 1962 New York International Auto Show car
  • Resided in current ownership for seventeen years
  • 1 of just 66 examples manufactured
  • Believed to be the only example with bonnet air intake and electric windows

The Ogle SX1000 was the brainchild of David Ogle, who started his car business in 1960 building a 2+2 Coupe, the Ogle 1.5, based on Riley 1.5 driveline and suspension with a multi-tube frame clothed in a fibreglass body. Power was a BMC B-series engine, but it was a slow seller and only seven were made. This was followed by the Ogle SX1000 coupe in 1962 and used as its base the BMC Mini platform and running gear. The first ten cars required buyers to take a new Mini to David Ogle where Ogle would strip down, strengthen, lower the steering column, and fit the fibreglass Coupe body. The Inland Revenue and Customs stopped this practice as Ogle had not charged Car Tax on the completed vehicle. The company made arrangements with BMC to acquire the mechanical components without bodies, although BMC made it clear their relationship was strictly that of vendor-customer and no discounts were given, meaning the price to customers was £1,300 – more than twice the price of a Mini.

David Ogle was sadly killed in a motor accident in 1962 while driving a SX1000 to Silverstone which proved truly unfortunate for the model because he had just negotiated more favourable rates for the BMC components. From 1962 to 1964 total production of SX1000s reached 66, with an estimated 40 surviving. Chassis #006 was manufactured in 1962, making it one of the first ten examples that were rebuilt from already complete Minis (with the Heritage Certificate for the Austin Mini accompanying). Understood to be the 1962 Ogle New York International Auto Show Car, the SX1000 is also believed to be the only example fitted with a bonnet air intake and electric windows and features a bored out 1275cc Cooper S engine with twin SU carburettor and oil cooler. Returned to the United Kingdom by the vendor in 2007, the Ogle has been with him ever since. Offered with a history file that contains sales literature on the Ogle, a large collection of invoices, the V5C document, and the extremely rare Ogle key fob.
