An extremely rare UK/RHD survivor with just 31,700 miles and in commensurate condition. Offered at 'No Reserve' as a charity lot with all proceeds going to 'Feedback Madagascar'Giugiaro-styled Alfasud was a revelation when launched, an all-new car with an all-new powertrain, built in an all-new factoryDespite its small engine, the Alfasud impressed with its superb handling, road holding, and high cruising speed, enhanced by all-round disc brakes, a good driving position and a swift, light gearchangeQuiet and refined, the 'Sud is now a collectors' favouriteA rare UK/RHD example in 'museum-quality' condition with Bruno Cilento paintwork and with just under 32,000 miles covered from newAccompanied by period paperwork, including sales brochures, handbooks and a Haynes workshop manualWhen it went on sale in 1972, the Alfasud rewrote the small-car rulebook to become the forerunner of the 1980s ‘hot hatch’. Given that Alfa Romeo had no experience of small, front-driven cars, the sheer dynamic excellence of the flat-four-powered ‘Sud came as a pleasant shock to critics and commentators, who greeted it with rapturous acclaim. Developed by Austrian engineer Rudolf Hruska, who had previously worked at Porsche and Volkswagen, the Alfasud was noted for its powerful boxer engine, low centre of gravity, aerodynamic profile, and best-in-class handling. The innovative styling by the legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro of ItalDesign was much-copied and much loved – with sales of more than 1m in 12 years, the 'Sud would become the best-selling model in Alfa’s rich history.As so often with Italian cars, the Sud also had an interesting and backstory. The Italian government worked with Alfa to build the factory near Naples, as an investment in the impoverished South of Italy (hence the 'Sud' name). It is fair to say that the south’s inexperience in car manufacture meant the project did not run entirely smoothly; the first Suds were conspicuously susceptible to rust, although rustproofing was improved in ’77 and ’78.The Alfasud 'Super' was the range-topping model, available with both 1.2- and 1.3-litre engines. The Super introduced improvements both outside, with new bumpers including large plastic strips, and inside, with a revised dashboard, new door cards and the choice of either Alfatex (vinyl) or two-tone cloth seats. In May 1978, the Super’s 1.3-litre engine gained power and capacity (now 1350cc) with a twin-choke carburettor setup.This particular 5-speed car left the factory on the slopes of Mt.Vesuvius in 1979 and made its way to the UK, where it was originally sold to a young lady driver by a family dealership in Skegness. About four years later she sold the 'Sud on to a new owner in the Leeds commuter belt, and it remained in Yorkshire with just three owners until the late 2010s.Given the model’s tendency to rust, the excellent condition of this 'Sud is highly impressive – indeed, it makes the colour (official name: Bruno Cilento, or Rust Brown) somewhat ironic. However, this is almost certainly down to the care that successive owners took of the car, perhaps sensing its status as a future classic. With only just 30,700 miles on the clock and a documented MOT history, it has clearly been lovingly cared for. The same degree of care was evident in its second-to-last owner, who brought it from North Yorkshire to Lewes in Sussex in the late 2010s.Various receipts record the substantial amount of time and money this Italophile spent restoring the original details, from hubcaps to pedal covers. By the time it was bought by its last owner, an Italian car collector in London, it was almost museum-specimen quality; the collector’s high-quality bare-metal repaint by an Italian paint specialist and a thorough brake overhaul were the perfecting touch. The Boxer engine in is excellent mechanical health, the interior is original and intact, the steel wheels are original and the new tyres are in period style. Accompanying the car are numerous original handbooks, period paperwork, brochures, old tax discs and two sets of keys, plus extensive MOT and service history, helping to support its mileage and quality of ownership.All in all, the preservation level of this Alfasud makes it a truly remarkable example of a model that was considered a landmark car at its very inception, and 20 years later would be described by one classic car magazine as “"The classic sporting saloon car of the 1970s."  The sheer preservation level of this little car warrants a place in a collection amongst the finest Italian machinery.This very special car is coming to auction from a private collector of original low-mileage classics who has, for several years, supported the work of the charity ‘Feedback Madagascar’ https://www.feedbackmadagascar.net/Excluding active war zones, Madagascar is the poorest state in the world. 21 million people live here, and 9 out of 10 people live on less than $2 per day. A quarter of children are out of school and half of the children under five suffer chronic malnutrition, the fourth highest rate in the world. Slash and burn agriculture and soil erosion have turned the island red and endangered huge numbers of animals and plants.Our extremely generous vendor and Silverstone Auctions have aligned to offer this car at ‘No Reserve’ with the whole hammer price plus commission going to the charity. Not only will the new owner become the custodian of a very special Alfa, he/she will have played a significant role in helping the communities of this island. So, please come and see just how good this ‘Sud is, bid strongly and enjoy both the car and the feeling of helping such a worthwhile cause.SpecificationMake: ALFA ROMEOModel: ALFASUD SUPERYear: 1979Chassis Number: AS5055070901FRegistration Number: JWW 940VTransmission: ManaulEngine Number: AS30160/012014 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 31700 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Brown Click here for more details and images

Recently emerged from long-term storage, this is a remarkable opportunity.Number 104 (#228104) of the 500 RHD CSLs supplied to BMW UKCompleted on 14/11/1972 and delivered to BMW Concessionaires GB on 17/11/1972Finished in Polaris Silver (Code 080) with a black interiorDecent history file up until 2006 having covered 78,142 miles. In dry storage sinceNow in need of restoration or possibly just recommissioningProbably one of the last unmolested CSLs to come to auction, a blank canvasVisually indistinguishable from its more 'run of the mill' relations, the CS and CSi, the 3.0 CSL (Coupé Sport Leicht) was creative homologation at its best. Success in motorsport sells cars, and the marketing department's requirements led BMW engineers to develop a limited-production 'homologation special' to meet the constrictive framework of the ‘Group 2’ racing class regulations at the time. By removing the trim and using thinner steel for the main bodyshell; aluminium alloy for the doors, bonnet and, boot lid; and Perspex for the side windows, a valuable 300lbs (136kgs) in weight was saved – 'Leicht' indeed.Mechanically, these cars were almost identical to the fuel-injected CSi (which meant 200bhp and 140mph plus) but to take it into the over-3litre class, the engines were bored out slightly to 3003cc. Equipped with all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front/semi-trailing arm rear), disc brakes and responsive steering, it was wonderfully balanced. Very expensive when new (several hundred pounds more than a 2.7 RS 911 CSLs are now the most highly coveted BMW of the 1970s with a fabulous competition record.We understand that only 1,039 CSLs were built in total with 500 of these finished in right-hand drive for BMW UK. Offered here is number 104 (#228104) of those 500 accompanied by a letter from BMW Group, Munchen confirming that it was manufactured on 14th November 1972 and delivered to BMW Concessionaires GB Ltd. on the 17th November finished in Polaris Silver (Code 080) with a black interior. Two old V5s show that it had just two previous owners prior to its sale in January 1990 to a prominent London barrister living on the Embankment. From 2006, it has been in storage with the speedometer showing 78,142 miles and the history file contains a clutch of MOTs going back to 1986, multiple invoices from the eighties raised by Cronk Garages Ltd. of Redhill, further invoices during the early nineties from Cheyne BMW London and accounts for further work carried out by a garage close to the large Scottish family estate where the car spent much of its time in later years. Having been in storage since 2006, it now requires restoration or at best re-commissioning but presents a blank canvas as probably one of the last unmolested CSLs to come to auction. It still has its original non-sport steering wheel, which may well be unique, and is supplied with the aforementioned history file and its original handbooks. These low-production, era-defining coupés often feature as a choice in car enthusiasts' 'dream garage' scenarios, and with good reason - beautifully engineered machines with that seventies BMW magic and probably the prettiest homologation special ever conceived. This is a fantastic opportunity to awaken this dusty 'Lightweight' from sixteen years of slumber.SpecificationMake: BMWModel: CSLYear: 1973Chassis Number: 2231362285104Registration Number: TGT 90MEngine Number: 2231362285104 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

A remarkable, one owner, UK-supplied, right-hand drive manual gearbox car with just 19,498 miles from new.Delivered to its current and only owner in August 1989, must be one of the last cars soldFinished in Zinnober Red with a classic 635 interior in cream leather Current MOT and impressive MOT history. Original service booklet and Bill of Sale (£46,950)In long-term storage the past few decades, so an element of recommissioning may well be requiredWith 19,498 warranted miles, this is one for the serious BMW 'M-car' collector, try and find anotherThe brainchild of BMW's Motorsport department, the M635 CSi version of the E24 6-Series arrived in 1984. Its engine was a development of the M1 supercar's 3.5-litre, 24-valve six-cylinder unit producing 286bhp, the increased power necessitating chassis improvements which included altered weight distribution, revised suspension, bigger brakes and a limited-slip differential. There was also a close-ratio five-speed gearbox (or four-speed multi-mode auto) and a more luxurious interior, while outwardly this ultimate 6-Series model was readily distinguishable by virtue of its M Technic body kit. Performance was emphatically in the supercar league, the M635 CSi being capable of reaching 62mph in around 6 seconds on its way to a top speed in excess of 155mph.Silverstone Auctions are delighted to offer to the market for the very first time since being delivered new in August 1989, this UK-supplied, right-hand drive M635 CSi which has been owned by our private vendor since new. Just 19,496 miles have been covered in that time and the combination of this low mileage, one owner and the highly desirable manual gearbox mean this special example seems to tick every box for the serious 'M-car' collector.The accompanying original Bill of Sale shows that this particular car was supplied through Cooper Bishopsgate and was specified with a graduated tinted screen and radio cassette/speakers, which was a £600 option, and the total price for the car was £46,950, a significant some of money at the time. It's finished in Zinnober Red with a cream leather interior and the delivery date of August 1989 suggest that this must be one of the very last examples UK cars delivered new.Accompanied by a current MOT valid until July 2022 and its MOT history, this M6351 CSi has hardly covered any mileage in the past couple of decades. Indeed, looking at the recent MOT records, only 525 miles have been covered since 2006 alone suggesting that the majority of the mileage was in the car's early years with a number of recent years in dry storage apart from the annual trip to the MOT Station. With this in mind, an element of recommissioning is to be expected by the next lucky owner. Also in the history file is the aforementioned Bill of Sale, original service booklet and various invoices from over the years. We encourage and welcome all interested parties coming to see the car for themselves at the sale, or to book a pre-sale appointment at our storage facility.Perhaps the word ‘unrepeatable’ is overused these days, but in all honesty we simply don’t know where you’ll find a one owner, manual gearbox, E24 M635 CSi that has covered less than 20,000 miles from new. This is one for the serious BMW 'M-car' collector – try and find another.SpecificationMake: BMWModel: M635 CSI MANUALYear: 1989Chassis Number: WBAEE320300760488Registration Number: G499 TYETransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 19498 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Very impressive, fastidiously detailed replication of Hannu Mikkola's 1985 Olympus Rally-winning 'Group B' Audi Quattro SWB.Supremely accurate recreation of the 1985 Toyota Olympus Rally winning ‘Group B’ rally Audi Quattro SWBBuilt between by 2017 and 2019 by the renowned historic Audi rally-car builder, Andy KrinksThe level of construction, quality of engineering and attention to detail bear comparison to the ‘works’ carsStroker, 2.5-litre 5-cylinder with lightened and balanced, Pauter-forged connecting rods and race pistonsLightened and balanced comp flywheel, rally paddle-clutch, manifolds and exhaust are by CSK.Currently running 1.6 bar boost producing 497bhp. 2.2 bar would produce circa 650bhpSuspension is a Proflex System with AP Discs and Calipers. Gearbox is a six-speed dog-boxSupplied with MSA papers which qualifies it for non-FIA sanctioned events such as the Lombard, Mintex, and various rally festivals/hill climbs in the UK & EuropeCan be viewed and even demonstrated (subject to negotiation) to any potential bidders The original Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2 was introduced at the end of 1985 as a development of the Sport Quattro S1 and featured an inline 5-cylinder engine that displaced 2,110cc and generated an officially quoted power output figure of 473bhp. The turbocharger utilised a recirculating air system allowing the engine to resume full power immediately after the resumption of full throttle, reducing turbo lag considerably. In addition to the improved power output, an aggressive aerodynamic kit was added that featured very distinctive wings and spoilers at the front and rear and the car's weight was reduced to 1,090kg.The Evo 2 made its debut at the 1985 Rally Argentina, with Stig Blomqvist driving and the car enjoyed much success on the rally circuit, with Walter Röhrl, Christian Geistdörfer and later Michéle Mouton. The S1 E2 would become the final Group B car produced by Audi, with the works team withdrawing from the Championship following the 1986 rally in Portugal.In the world of rallying, those years represent the golden era. Group B took the World Rally Championship and turned it on its head. In a matter of just a few short years, factory-backed cars doubled their power output and were packed full of cutting edge technology and exotic components. Many people likened them to Formula 1 cars for the gravel, and that wasn't far from the truth. But they were too fast and ultimately too dangerous, which is why we will, unfortunately, never see anything like Group B in the WRC ever again.However, there will always be enthusiasts who would love to own a mid-eighties Group B car but with such small numbers of competition cars built during the heyday, owning a proper Works-spec machine is a privilege that only a few can enjoy. Most surviving cars are in collectors hands and subsequently don't come up for sale very often and when they do there's the small matter of price, which is anything but. So what to do if you crave a slice of Group B, but can't lay your hands on the real thing? The answer may well be here.This is a supremely accurate recreation of the ‘Group B’ rally Audi Quattro SWB which won the 1985 Toyota Olympus Rally in the capable hands of the late Hannu Mikkola and Arne Hertz. The level of construction, quality of engineering and attention to detail bear comparison to the ‘works’ cars and very rarely does such an exacting copy of the era-defining Factory Quattro cars come to market. The shell was constructed in exactly the same way that the original factory cars were by mating the front half of an Audi 80 bodyshell with the rear end of the road-going UR Quattro. After many hours of preparation, the shell was fitted with a full roll-cage by Custom Cages and is a copy of the original ‘works’ cage but fabricated to modern safety standards (the cage wears ‘Matter’ decals as the works cages were made by them). The build was started in the winter of 2017 overseen by the renowned historic Audi rally-car builder, Andy Krinks, but, such was the need to source authentic parts from all over Europe, that it was not finished until December 2019. Since then it has completed three hundred test miles to ensure it runs and performs exactly as it should. The Audi 5-cylinder, 2.5-litre inline engine is a ‘stroker’ with lightened and balanced, Pauter forged connecting rods, race pistons, Sputter bearings and ARP fasteners and the head is RS2 ported and polished with CAT Cam rally camshafts with adjustable timing gear. It has a full Titan Engineering dry-sump oil system. It’s fitted with a lightened and balanced competition flywheel with a rally ‘cerametallic’ paddle clutch and cover and the manifolds and exhaust are by CSK. The ECU is a Syvecs S7 + with a dash-mounted dial for power-range adjustment offering anti-lag on the higher power settings. Injectors are Bosch EV14 1000cc and the turbo is a Xona X3C unit with a ‘Turbo Smart’ wastegate. The suspension is a custom-made Proflex System with AP Discs and Calipers from their historic range and the gearbox is a six-speed dog-box. The car is currently running with a conservative 1.6 bar boost producing 497bhp for running in, however, adjusted up to 2.2 bar, our vendor understands it would produce circa 650bhp. The attention to detail in the cabin remains impressive with even the period-correct speedo presenting in KMH although it has been modified to function in MPH (30kph indicated is actually 30mph).

A lovely example of Honda's third-generation 'S-Type' roadster.One of very few right-hand drive Cabriolets registered in the UKRemarkable numbers; 791cc, 70bhp, 9000rpm, 790kg and 100mphAn incredibly rare and collectable car likely to cause a stir at any classic car showAccompanied by a history file including current V5 certificate and owners' manualA technological marvel from the days when engineers, rather than accountants, made the decisionsConsidering that it was, and probably still is, the world's largest producer of motorcycles, it's not surprising that Honda's first sports cars featured technology borrowed from its Grand Prix-winning two-wheelers. Engines were all-aluminium, twin-overhead-camshaft, four-cylinder units with roller bearings used throughout, and the early 531cc S500 and 606cc S600 models employed a part-chain transmission. Introduced in 1963, the S500 was Honda's first production motor car of any kind. Despite the tiny engine, its performance was amazing, a top speed of around 80mph (129km/h) being achievable under favourable conditions. The engine red line was set at a scary (in 1963) unprecedented 9,500rpm. Launched in March 1964, the S600 was the first of the family to be available as a closed coupé (the S500 was produced as a roadster only) and the first to be manufactured in left-hand drive form for export. It was also the most successful, out-selling both its predecessor and the later S800. Introduced in 1965 at the Tokyo Motor Show, the last-of-the-line 791cc S800 retained the separate ladder-frame chassis and chain drive of its predecessors. After approximately 1,000 cars had been produced, the S800 adopted a more conventional final drive consisting of a prop shaft and coil-sprung live rear axle located by radius arms and a Panhard rod. Front disc brakes, replacing the original drums, were standardised soon after. Revving to 8,000rpm and with 70bhp on tap, the S800 was good for almost 100mph and more than capable of giving the larger capacity 'Spridgets' and Spitfires a run for their money.Offered here is a super rare, right-hand drive Honda S800 Cabriolet first registered in the UK in 1968. Finished in classic colours with red paintwork, black interior and black hood. It's accompanied by a history file which includes the owner’s manual, invoices and a current V5C. This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a lovely little ‘60s sports car that will surely be the talk of any classic car event.

Over the last few years, JYY 95J has benefitted from some caring owners who have invested in the car with restoration work when required including professionally replacing floor sections, renewing suspension components and an overhaul of the braking system. Further works include the installation of a period-style stereo with MP3 connectivity and modern speakers and a recent visit to a highly regarded Mercedes-Benz marque specialist to refinish the wooden veneers, refurb the steering components and the wiper motor, and fully service the engine and the gearbox.This Coupé today presents beautifully, starts on the button and performs well. It offers that wonderful combination of a car that has been extremely well looked after over the years but not subject to a full nut and bolt restoration retaining a gentle welcoming warm patina yet going, handling and responding exactly how a grand classic Mercedes should. It maybe over 50 years old but this elegant 'boulevardier' still commands envious admiration from the kerbside.It's accompanied by a detailed history file including invoices evidencing the aforementioned recent works, a wealth of invoices for earlier works, further evidence of celebrity ownership, 280SE owners books and a current V5C.

A genuine one owner from new, unrestored, meticulously maintained Series 1 Roadster. Remarkable.A genuine one owner E-Type Series 1 4.2 Roadster with Factory HardtopRemaining in exceptional and unrestored condition throughoutA complete and fascinating history with all books, hand-written notes and magazine featuresEngine rebuilt some years ago by renowned E-Type guru, Peter LindnerUprated Rear Differential 2.88:1Purchased in late 1967 as an everyday vehicle by Bryan Davies, a UK engineer based at the time in Dallas, with the specification being as it remains to this very day, Opalescent Silver Grey with a Dark Blue Interior. In December 1968, work dictated a move to Frankfurt in Germany with the E-Type following on shortly after. Mechanical issues were to follow, thought to be a result of careless shipping handlers with the renowned Peter Lindner being given instruction to remedy the engine woes, necessitating the stripping and rebuilding of the unit due to two bent con rods. Whilst in Peter’s more than capable hands, a 2.88:1 differential was also supplied and fitted enabling a more relaxed driving experience at cruising speeds, subsequently enjoyed on many trips throughout Europe. Due to the lack of space, the hood and frame were removed at the time and a factory hardtop sourced and fitted for the 'extortionate' amount of £45 and it remains in place to this very day. A move back to the UK in 1970, along with his beloved E-Type, saw Bryan and the car back on home turf, remaining in each other’s company until Bryans untimely passing in December 2021.An unrepeatable opportunity to obtain a genuine one owner, unrestored, meticulously maintained Series 1 that has been magazine featured and has an unquestionable and documented history.

Fitted with the 328's 1971cc straight-six generating 80bhp (327/80)Only 19 were imported with around 12 believed to have survivedUnderstood to have been fully restored by the TT Workshop around 2005Part of BMW UK's Historic Fleet since 2015 and displayed at various eventsCurrently being recommissioned by BMW and will be offered running and drivingAbsolutely stunning but some cosmetic detailing would return it to a Concours standardBMW’s reputation as a manufacturer of sporting motorcars really started with the annual Eifelrennen event, held at the Nürburgring on 14th June 1936. Here Ernst Henne beat a field that included 1½-litre single-seat racing cars driving the prototype of what would become one of the most iconic sports cars of all time – the legendary ‘328’. The fact that this victory had been achieved only eight years after BMW’s establishment as an automobile manufacturer is all the more remarkable.Capitalising on this success, the company launched a new range of models that would become the foundation of their reputation as a manufacturer of the highest quality cars with power and style. The flagship of the range was the 328 which incorporated a lightweight tubular chassis and a powerful straight-6 engine with overhead valves and triple carburettors. Alongside the 328, BMW offered the 327, a delightful sports tourer based on a shortened, boxed, ladder-type chassis with semi-elliptic rear springs, a Hurth 4-speed gearbox and hydraulic brakes all round.The 327 was available with a choice of two engines, one was BMW's standard 6-cylinder but, for an extra few Deutschmarks, the car could be fitted with the 328’s 80bhp unit. This engine was the masterpiece of designer Rudolf Schleicher and although only displacing 1,971cc, it utilised hemispherical combustion chambers, inclined valves and twin downdraught inlet ports generating a very credible 80bhp in standard tune. This design had two rocker shafts, one situated above each bank of valves, giving the engine an external appearance almost indistinguishable from that of a twin-overhead-cam design but with considerable cost saving. It proved capable of developing even more power and after the war would be used by Cooper, Bristol and Frazer Nash with great racing success.In 1934, a cooperation agreement was concluded with BMW, which made Middlesex-based, Frazer Nash the general importer of these German vehicles for the British market and at the same time allowed them to sell the cars under their own brand name as ‘Frazer Nash-BMW’. The cars were built by BMW and supplied to Frazer Nash already badged as Frazer Nash–BMW, with Imperial instruments and in right hand drive. When fitted with the 2-litre engine, they were known as ‘Frazer Nash-BMW 327/80’. This arrangement continued until the outbreak of war in 1939 when, unsurprisingly, it was rapidly terminated. Only 19 Frazer Nash-BMW 327/80s were imported and, it's believed, only 12 remain.The stunning piece of automotive artwork on offer here is indeed one of those surviving 12. AFN imported DAK 760 into Isleworth in early 1939 and it would be wonderful to tell you that we know all about the car's history since then, but we don't as very little documentation exists. We do know, however, that it was fully restored around 2005 by marque specialists, TT Workshop, and judging by a very similar car also restored by TT Workshop, the restoration costs would certainly exceed the car's guide today. It has formed part of BMW UK's Historic Fleet since 2015 and has been displayed at various events over the years.Attractively finished in Midnight Blue over Cream with blue pinstripes, the car has real presence displaying none of the stately Teutonic pomp normally associated with pre-war German cabriolets, but echoes the elegant lines of thirties' Alfas with styling cues that suggest the work of those ‘swoopy’ blue and cream creations beloved of the French coachbuilders. The story is continued throughout the interior. Lavish Navy Blue leather and luxurious matching pile await you as you open the door and the whole thing is capped with one of the most beautiful dashboards we have ever seen with cream-faced Art Deco-style instruments and clocks surrounded by an array of Bakelite switches and knobs echoing the beautiful wireless radios of the era. The folding soft-top appears in excellent condition and the jack etc. are neatly stashed in the tidy engine bay. One can only imagine the reactions of people when this cabriolet was first released in 1937, it still draws gasps today. It’s a design that’s very much of its time, yet an enduring one. 32,586 miles are indicated on the odometer, naturally not warranted, and the car will be offered running and driving with the braking system currently being overhauled by BMW and general recommissioning works being undertaken. It's an older restoration with limited recent use and inevitably there will be certain items that may be inoperative, for example we have been made aware that the clock and cigar lighter are inoperative and the fuel gauge a little temperamental. There are one or two areas in need of further cosmetic detailing but overall this remains a stunning example of 1930s automotive elegance and your personal inspection is welcomed and encouraged.

A superbly presented C-V8, one of the fastest production four-seaters of its era.One of only 499 CV8s built of which just 250 were MkIIsForty-Five years of caring ownership in the hands of a Rolls-Royce engineerBody off chassis restoration completed with superb attention to detailAn older restoration but remains in superb condition throughout to this very dayAccompanied by extensive history files containing a photographic record of the rebuild, invoices, engineers drawings and several handwritten diariesNB; Please note that registration number shown, 911 HWR, does not form part of the sale"The impression that emerged was of a car superbly suited to Grand Touring in the true sense. A very smooth silent 6-litre engine and transmission gave it a performance so effortless as to be entirely deceptive. It comes as a shock to find that the figures (136mph and 0-100mph in 20.9 sec) make it one of the fastest cars we have ever tested and certainly the fastest four seater." As this Motor magazine review attests, the Jensen C-V8, introduced at the October 1962 Earls Court Motor Show, was a genuinely rapid machine.Penned by Eric Neale in consultation with the Jensen brothers, its dramatic glassfibre bodywork clothed an advanced tubular chassis designed by Kevin Beattie. Equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension, a 'live' rear axle, four-wheel Dunlop disc brakes, a limited-slip differential and rack and pinion steering, the new Jensen was powered by a Chrysler ‘Golden Commando’ 5.9-litre V8 engine allied to Torqueflite automatic transmission. Boasting some 305bhp and 395lbft of torque in MkI guise, it was capable of over 132mph.Not content to sit on their laurels, the Bromwich concern released an updated MkII version in October 1963. Distinguished by various minor body modifications, it remained in production until July 1965 and featured an even larger 6.3-litre powerplant with a four barrel Carter carb that gave 330bhp and 425lbft.Finished in Burgundy with Magnolia Hide, this particular magazine featured Jensen CV8, on offer from long-term ownership, has been lovingly and fastidiously restored by its previous Rolls-Royce Engineer owner, Philip Widdowson, and although the body-off chassis rebuild was completed in excess of thirty-five years ago, the condition remains the same. The car is accompanied by comprehensive history files which include a photographic record of the rebuild alongside engineers' drawings, handwritten restoration diaries, original handbook, radio operating instructions and associated paperwork, all of which are fascinating and a compelling read in their own right indicating that this reincarnation is far more than just a rebuild, more a labour of love completed with passion, mechanical excellence and sound engineering practice. Various mechanical enhancements include Electronic Ignition, Evans Waterless Coolant, a manual choke conversion and upgraded Rostyle Wheels. With regular detailed care throughout its life this Jensen comes highly recommended with many more miles of classic motoring left under its belt. Your personal inspection is welcomed and encouraged and half an hour reading the history files is almost compulsory.Please note that the registration number shown, 911 HWR, will not remain with the car and will be removed prior to sale.

A Gentleman's express, just 18,640 miles and in splendid condition.Highest-spec Sovereign model with only 18,640 miles, a couple of previous owners and a comprehensive history fileNaturally-aspirated 4.0-litre V8 with 290bhp and a proper big-capacity growlBeautiful condition inside and out, a testament to its cosseted and well-maintained lifeRecent work in February 2022 includes a new timing chain tensioner and an air-conditioning overhaul totalling £6,556A remarkable car that offers all the old-school charm of a ‘proper Jaguar’ with modern and capable underpinningsThe Jaguar XJ (X308) is a full-size luxury saloon manufactured and marketed by Jaguar Cars from 1997 to 2003 across two generations and featuring Jaguar's AJ-V8 and Jaguar's independent rear suspension. It was the third and final evolution of the XJ40 platform which had been in production since 1986.The ‘Sovereign’ represented the highest luxury specification for Jaguar models, sitting next to the XJR. Sovereigns featured more elaborate and expensive wood veneer, commonly highly figured Burr Walnut, with window control and ashtray trim panels also in veneer as opposed to plastic in other models. The leather was also of a higher quality and often features contrasting piping, with seats being of the traditional fluted style. The suspension setup was biased towards touring and the wheels were normally 16" or 17" to provide high profile tyres for additional ride quality. Computer Active Technology System adaptive suspension was also offered as a rare option.Externally, a Sovereign can be distinguished by the complete use of highly polished steel/chrome work around windows and rear light clusters, as well as polished radiator grille and boot garnish. The cars are simply badged as ‘Sovereign’ with no mention of ‘XJ’.Having discontinued production of both the AJ16 inline-six and V12 engines, Jaguar offered the new XJ model with their newly designed V8 engine (named the AJ-V8) only. It was available in either 3.2-litre or 4.0-litre form (the latter with a Supercharger in the XJR model). The Sovereign utilised the naturally-aspirated 4.0-litre V8 with a more than adequate 290bhp and a proper big-capacity growl, married to the ZF 5HP24 5-speed automatic gearbox.This 1998 Jaguar XJ Sovereign is a wonderful example of Jaguar’s flagship saloon that still sets the bar for ride refinement and overall quality and performance. In outstanding cosseted condition and finished in Jaguar Topaz with an Oatmeal Leather interior, it has only covered 18,640 miles with just two previous owners. Originally destined for an overseas client of renowned Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists, Clark and Carter, it has now become available. Recent preparation work included replacing the timing chain tensioner, the air-conditioning compressor and re-gassing. Work also included a total over haul of the brakes and a full engine/gearbox service. Wheels also had a specialist refurbishment.

A C16/UK-supplied 3.3-litre model with an enviable history and in a striking colour combination.An original 'C16' UK specification, right-hand drive example that was sold new on 8th August 1991 by AFN London, at a cost of over £75,000Finished in its original and very rare colour of Tahoe Blue with a Linen White leather interiorLovingly maintained and used sparingly by our vendor since 2016, treating it to a repaint, a suspension and brake overhaul and regular services, having now covered 66,689 milesThe 964 Turbo of 1991 and 1992 utilises the seminal Porsche 3.3-litre flat-six boxer engine, with revisions to make it smoother and less prone to turbo lag, producing 320bhp and 332lb-ft of torqueThe history file, which we have seen in the past and can only be described as impressive is currently missing, however, we may well have it by the time of the saleWe understand that the engine was rebuilt in 2012 and since 2016 it has been treated to a full repaint, a suspension and brake overhaul and regular services, and has now covered just 66,689 milesFollowing the roaring success of the 930-era 911 was always going to be a challenge for Porsche, though with the 964 of 1989, it’s safe to say they not only met, but exceeded their expectations. Representing a significant redesign over the preceding generation yet retaining trademark 911 styling cues such as the classic sloping front end and iconic side profile, the Carrera 4 and Carrera 2 models were introduced in 1989 and 1990 respectively, with an air-cooled M64 3.6-litre flat-six engine. Interestingly, the 964 era was the first 911 generation to offer the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 model in the line-up, and the first to employ the automatic Tiptronic transmission as an option for those looking for a more relaxed driving experience.Further updates over the 930 included the fitting of power steering and ABS as standard, significant revisions to the suspension setup with coil springs and shock absorbers replacing the torsion bar setup of its predecessor, and the front and rear bumpers were integrated with the body shell for improved aesthetics and aerodynamics.With the success of the C2 and C4 models, came the introduction of the coveted Turbo model in 1990, offering all of the aforementioned 964 upgrades, but featuring a revised version of the 3.3-litre turbocharged flat-six engine found in the 930 Turbo (Porsche not having enough R&D time to implement a turbocharged version of the M64 engine seen in the C2 and C4). Nonetheless, the engine had been significantly upgraded and fettled to sit within buyers’ expectations, with the result being a power output of 316bhp.This car was previously offered and sold by Silverstone Auctions in 2016 when it was accompanied by one of the best history files we had ever seen which, sadly, is now mislaid. It included numerous invoices/receipts along with an original service booklet boasting 20 stamps, an original wallet, previous V5 documents, tax discs and lots of MOT Certificates that substantiated the total mileage of 65,510 miles (in 2016).There were also a large number of invoices documenting much expenditure with respected names such as AFN, Autofarm, Paragon and RPM. In addition, an engine rebuild was carried out in 2012 by the previous owner. We understand that our vendor is actively trying to find the file and, when that occurs, we will obviously update the relevant details.Since 2016 the car has benefitted from being lovingly maintained and used only sparingly, being treated to a full repaint, a suspension and brake overhaul and regular services, and having now covered just 66,689 miles.This is an opportunity to obtain a highly coveted yet usable example of the classic 964 Turbo finished in arguably one of the best factory colour schemes available. It has benefited from diligent ownership and an impressive history of maintenance/servicing and will appeal to collectors, enthusiasts and drivers alike.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 964 TURBOYear: 1991Chassis Number: WPOZZZ96ZMS470071Registration Number: J456 DYPTransmission: Manual Engine Number: 61M00216Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Linen leather Click here for more details and images

A stunning FIA 'Group A' BMW 635 with an interesting history and built to a high standard by Vink Motorsport.‘RA-2-49’ originally sold to Fritz Moller and campaigned in DTM / 24 hour races at Spa + NürburgringIn 2012, ‘RA-2-49’ sustained fire damage so was eventually taken to BWM expert, Ton Vink of Vink MotorsportIt was decided, with advice from Matter, to turn RA-2-49 into a benchmark 'Group A' 635 utilising a replacement bodyshellBosch Motorsport built the engine to modern standards. 320bhp and 400Nm of torque are reportedA couple of years ago this car was entered into the competitive Peter Auto series and finished 2nd after a spin in the wet whilst leading by 25 secondsSupplied with its FIA HTP (Class CT40 valid until 31/12/2030), well-engineered and offering a gateway into some of the best racing in EuropeSilverstone Auctions are delighted to offer this BMW 635 CSI Group A car to the market. Originating from BMW Motorsport in 1984, ‘RA-2-49’ was originally sold to Herr Fritz Möller who campaigned the car in certain DTM events for three years from 1984-1986. He also entered some endurance events including the 24 hour races at Spa and the Nurburgring.The car then had multiple owners and ended up with Michael Bonk Motorsports in around 2005 as he and his father were mechanics for Fritz Möller back in the DTM days. MBM restored the chassis but the car was subsequently sold to Joseph Kolliker, who completed the restoration in 2011. Sadly, in 2012 the car was heavily fire damaged in a workshop blaze and, a as result, it sat untouched for many years until it was later purchased as a project car.After doing much research, the new owner decided to enlist the services of the world-renowned BMW Motorsport expert Ton Vink of Vink Motorsport in Holland and it wasn't long before ‘RA-2-49’ was on its way to Amsterdam in search of a new chapter. After careful deliberation and due to the fire damage, the previous accident damage and the original alloy roll-cage still being part of the car, it was decided to enlist the original BMW Body Experts at Matter Motorsport for some advice on the best way forward. The experts at Matter, with the new owners consent and on the advice of Ton Vink, finally decided to replace the body and start fresh from the bottom up with one simple aim - to make RA-2-49 a world-class benchmark for Group A 635s whilst simultaneously showcasing the skills of Vink Motorsport.In terms of the power unit, it was decided to enlist BMW engine experts Bosch Tuning, who basically renewed the complete engine using modern techniques and knowledge which has resulted in an amazing 320bhp and 400Nm of wonderful torque.The gearbox has been fully rebuilt using brand new homologated internals from Samsonas and the LSD has also enjoyed a rebuild with complete new internals. Intrax dampers were decided upon for their performance (not their cost!) and brand-new period brake callipers fitted all round.Once finished, a couple of years ago, the 635 was campaigned in its first and only event in the very competitive Peter Auto Series and was leading by 25 seconds until a rain shower caused a spin, however, second place was secured, impressive to say the least first time out.Supplied with a set of six wheels and its FIA HTP (valid until 31/12/2030), this well-engineered Touring Car would undoubtedly be competitive in the right hands offering its next lucky owner a gateway into some of the best historic motorsport in Europe.SpecificationMake: BMWModel: 635 CSI GROUP AYear: 1984Chassis Number: NARegistration Number: N/AClick here for more details and images

Ready to go for next ownerThis is a fast, well-prepared car that’s raced competitively in U2TC + MastersOffered at a very competitive estimate considering it would cost a lot more to replicate todayThe Lotus Cortina's serendipitous arrival resulted directly from Ford's decision to step up their motorsport involvement in the early 1960s. Their Head of UK Public Relations, Walter Hayes, spoke to Colin Chapman, asking him to come up with a competitive saloon, using their mainstream Cortina as a base that could be produced in sufficient numbers to satisfy the mandatory 'Group 2' homologation requirements, and with which the Blue Oval could beat all comers. The solution was to take Ford's bullet-proof 1500 Kent engine, fit it with a twin-cam cylinder head, pop it into a stiffened Cortina shell, sort out the suspension and brakes and paint a green stripe down the side. The cars would be built by Lotus at its plant in Cheshunt and marketed through their dealer network as the Ford Cortina Lotus. Once fully developed, Lotus Cortinas (as they quickly became known) absolutely shone on track driven by household names including Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill, Jackie Ickx, Roger Clark and many, many more.This particular race Cortina is a well-known car and has been with its current owner since 2004 when our vendor bought it from notable historic racer, Chris Sanders. Recently built and prepared by the experts at Pearsons Engineering, it has current FIA HTP papers, which expire on the 31st December 2025 and is also road registered with a UK V5C as ‘828 CDL’. It's a fast, well-prepared Cortina and runs a competitive Neil Brown engine. Re-shelled by Pearsons in 2018, it last raced in anger at Spa in the 2019 Six Hours support race and has been competitive in the U2TC and Masters Series. It's most recent outing was a BRDC track day in May 2021 when, we understand, it ran well.Described as ready for its next owner to enjoy, this is the first time ‘828 CDL’ has been on the open market in 18 years and is offered at a very competitive estimate considering it would cost an awful lot more to replicate this car today.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: LOTUS CORTINA MK1Year: 1962Chassis Number: 113EZ73B198624 Registration Number: 828 CDLDrive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

A rare and sought-after, soft-top Mini; UK-supplied with just 12,500 miles, a handful of owners and a recent overhaul.1 of only 75 LAMM-converted Mini Cabriolets, commissioned by Rover, proving the demand for such a car was evident An expensive and upmarket Mini at launch, it proved extremely popular, with all 75 cars selling out within a monthOnly offered in Pearlescent Cherry Red with a matching maroon hood, the luxurious interior included a wood-grain dashboard, Cooper-style leather steering wheel and Clarion stereoAll examples had Mini-Cooper mechanicals and a 1275cc engine with a carburettorThis is a UK example with just 12,548 miles and 2 owners – four owners in total, the last being husband & wifeIn storage from 1995 until a recent full recommissioning and thorough overhaulWhile there have been many independent companies converting Minis, and all manner of other cars into cabriolets, probably the best known of them in the UK was Crayford. Surprisingly, it was not until 1993, some 34 years after production had commenced, that there was an official soft-top Mini.By the late 1980s, there had been a massive revival in everything Mini, especially in Japan, so Rover started to take notice. In 1991, but still commercially wary of producing their own Mini Cabriolet, Rover contacted Lamm Autohaus, based in in Achern in Germany, as their German Rover dealer, who had been producing its own coach-built Mini cabriolets since the 1980s.Effectively a taster exercise to see if there was any real demand for such a car to be sold in the mainstream range, and whether the expense of Rover Special Projects (RSP) could be justified, Rover contracted Lamm to build 75 prototypes. All the cars were built in right-hand-drive form for sale though 12 selected Rover dealers.The conversion was straightforward, Lamm remove the roof, replacing it with a folding fabric convertible hood that incorporated the plastic rear windows. The bodyshell was substantially strengthened to compensate for the resulting loss of rigidity and the Lamm Cabriolet featured Revolution alloy wheels and a colour-matched body kit consisting of dramatically extended wheel arches, front spoiler, side skirts and integral bumpers. It was offered in only one colour - Pearlescent Cherry Red (paint code GOC) with a matching maroon hood, whilst the luxurious interior used the limited-edition Mini Mayfair’s seats and trim, which were complemented by a wood-grain dashboard, Cooper-style leather-covered steering wheel and Clarion stereo system. All cars had Mini-Cooper mechanicals and a 1275cc engine with a carburettor.When it was launched on 23rd June 1991, the list price of £12,250 was high - and immediately cast the car into a rather exclusive niche. It may have been an expensive product, but it also proved extremely popular, and all 75 cars sold out within a month. Rover was convinced, and RSP started to develop, along with Karmann and Tickford, its own version of the car, which was launched just over a year later, with circa 300 examples produced.The Lamm cars have two distinct differences which make them instantly distinguishable from Rover's version: the first is the paint colour. Although the red looks like Rover's Nightfire Red, it is in fact a deeper Cherry Red. The second and more noticeable difference is the hood, Lamm cars have plastic rear side windows, whereas Rover used unique wind-down glass windows.The car presented here is 1 of the 75 examples built by Lamm Autohaus to the highest of standards. Using their years of experience in producing this sort of Mini, the quality of the conversion by Lamm is evident. This lovely example has only ever been owned by four registered keepers in total, with the last two being husband and wife, prior to our vendor acquiring it. He was absolutely smitten with it, understanding the rarity and originality of this particular car, and with so few miles covered, he set about a comprehensive recommissioning including the vulnerable sub-frames. It is now in rude health, mechanically strong and presents in lovely condition. With the intended recipient of the car not that enamoured with actually driving it, it is now for sale to someone who will truly enjoy and appreciate it. Accompanied by all its original manuals, Lamm Mini catalogues and numerous magazine articles about the model, this car is a little gem. SpecificationMake: ROVERModel: MINI CONVERTIBLE BY LAMM AUTOHAUSYear: 1991Chassis Number: SAXXNWBMBBD027422Registration Number: J688 LKLClick here for more details and images

Eligible for the Settrington Cup at the Goodwood Revival in September. Fondly known as the 'Joy Car' or 'Junior Austin', the 'J40' was manufactured from 1955 to 1971 by disabled miners at a factory in the village of Tiryberth, near Bargoed in South Wales. Built at the instigation of Lord Nuffield, owner of BMC, soon after the Second World War, they were sold in Austin showrooms for £20, which was a considerable price at the time. It has a dummy engine with spark plugs, a handbrake and electric lights and a horn.With chassis number 24425, records suggest that this Austin J40 would have been manufactured around February/March 1962.

A head-turning little Crossblade presented as a tribute to Sir Stirling Moss and '722'.One of only 2,000, a skateboard for grown-ups, packaged by Mercedes for Smart70bhp Brabus-tuned 599cc 3-cylinder engine. Six-speed semi-automatic transmission'0105' has been uniquely finished as a Sir Stirling Moss / 722 tribute carOnly 7,334 miles on the odometer. Fresh MOTExcellent condition throughout. 'X1 BDE' will remain with the vehicleThe venerable Smart Car has always been somewhat of an outsider in the automotive world, thanks to its diminutive proportions, quirky styling and unusual mechanical setup, although it has found favour with city-dwellers and car enthusiasts alike, and no Smart is more unusual than the somewhat whacky open-cabin Crossblade of 2002. Initially unveiled in 2001 at the Geneva Motor Show as a concept vehicle, the reaction to the design was such that Smart, owned by Mercedes-Benz, moved to put the Crossblade into limited production, with a total of 2,000 being produced, each individually numbered and designed as collectors items from the outset. Marketed as a vehicle “uncompromisingly designed for blue skies and high spirits” many considered the Crossblade to be the spiritual successor to the likes of the Bond Bug, Beach Buggy and Mini Moke, cars that were designed with joy and fun as their utmost priority, and practicality and driving experience as an afterthought.That said, the driving experience did receive some attention courtesy of Brabus, who tuned the 599cc three-cylinder engine to produce 70bhp, which may not sound like much, but gives the Crossblade plenty of excitement out on the road, thanks to its exposed nature and low kerb weight of only 1,600lbs.This particular example has enjoyed the company of only four owners throughout its 20-year lifetime, during which it has covered c.7,500 miles, as substantiated by its MOT history and other records. Purchased by our vendor - a serial Smart enthusiast and ex-Smart Car specialist - around four years ago, the intention was to follow the world-famous Mille Miglia around Italy, which - along with his love of Sir Stirling Moss and heritage Mercedes-Benz race cars - led to the decision to transform this Crossblade with a number of vinyl graphics into a Sir Stirling Moss tribute car. Unfortunately, this planned trip never came to fruition as a result of various lockdowns throughout 2020 and the reversal of the MM route in 2021.This bad luck, along with the imminent shrinkage of the vendor’s car storage space, has forced the sale of this unusual and head-turning example of the quirky Crossblade.The vendor states that other than some minor paintwork, the application of the racing-inspired graphics and general servicing, this example has wanted for nothing, and it recently sailed through its latest MOT test, with the examiner commending the condition of the vehicle and the care that our vendor has put into maintaining it to the highest standard.The cherished registration, X1 BDE, seen on the vehicle is included in the sale. This is a rare opportunity to obtain one of just 2,000 Crossblades, a rare example of concept design making it to the production stage with minimal changes, and a true landmark in the Smart Car history books - one not to miss! SpecificationMake: SMARTModel: CROSSBLADEYear: 2002Chassis Number: WME01MC012H032642Registration Number: X1 BDETransmission: AutomaticDrive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 7334 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: RedClick here for more details and images

One of just 100 official, UK-supplied, R33 examples sold by Middlehurst Garage.The 42nd official, UK-supplied, R33 GT-R sold (#107). First registered 7/05/1998Supplied new by GT-R specialists Middlehurst Garage in Midnight Purple,Two owners from new, present for 16 years mainly in an air-conditioned garageIn its current state of tune, the forged internals engine has been dyno’d on a rolling road with 486bhp at the wheels (approx 600bhp at the flywheel) at a modest 1.4 bar of boostAccompanied by the original service book, owners manuals and maintenance recordsSpec highlights include 1000cc Injectors, Tomei Fuel Rail, single T78 Turbo, Trust extra capacity oil sump, AEM Series 2 ECU, triple plate clutch, 19” Nismo carbon dipped alloy wheels, D2 fully adjustable suspension, D2 upgraded brake kitThe registration 'N5 GTR' will stay with the carPerhaps underrated, but quietly influential compared to its forbears, the R33 incarnation of the GT-R is still a pure sports car experience, but now aided by some of the most revolutionary handling technology to influence modern performance driving.The new R33 Skyline GT-R was launched in January 1995 with a base GT-R and the V Spec model which offered a sportier suspension set-up resulting in lower ground clearance, and also featured the newer ATTESA E-TS Pro all-wheel drive system, which included an Active Limited-Slip Differential.At the heart of the V-spec was the ATTESA-ETS Pro Electronic Torque Split System which, at the time, made it arguably the most technologically advanced production car in the world. The system was conceived in the 1990s for the JTCC to enable some 600bhp to be fed through the wheels and on to the racetrack efficiently. ETS Pro satisfied the purists by offering all the advantages of rear-wheel drive until the conditions dictated otherwise.The V Spec also featured an active LSD on the rear axle which further aided traction by calculating the optimum torque-split between the left and right rear wheels, variable from fully locked to totally free.Working along with ATTESA-ETS PRO, is the SUPER HICAS rear-wheel steering. This uses a series of sensors to monitor vehicle motion, rate of turn and the driver's action on the steering wheel. Complex software then compares this information to the computer predictions of the car's ideal turning characteristics, adjusting the angle of the rear wheels to reflect the driver's intentions. The result of this type of technology? Neutral steering and unrivalled cornering capabilities.The engine in the R33 was nearly identical to the previous R32 using the same turbochargers and the same specification for the manual gearbox, although the synchros were made to be stronger.The increased body rigidity and improved handling potential necessitated several specially designed cross members being incorporated into the monocoque and extra torsion bars were added to the multi-link suspension to further enhance stability. Working closely with Bridgestone technicians to perfect the Potenza tyres, Nissan put the prototype R33 GT-R through its paces in all weathers at the notorious Nürburgring, earning them a daring reputation amongst other manufacturers.Tested in the wind tunnel and capable of around 175 mph, the Skyline GT-R's adjustable rear spoiler lets you find the best compromise between wind resistance and grip. To equalise front/rear weight distribution, the bonnet and front wings were made of aluminium instead of steel and the battery was fitted at the base of the car's boot, lowering the centre of gravity and further improving handling.Inside the Skyline GT-R, form followed function. Mono-form bucket seats with integrated headrests that are lightweight yet immensely tough provided the ideal driving position and supported the body against the G-forces endured under hard acceleration and cornering.The braking system was designed by Italy's famous Brembo Spa, suppliers to many of the world's Formula 1 teams at this time. Four-piston calipers were fitted on the front with two-piston calipers on the rear to bite into the discs with a diamond shaped ventilation bores which increased the surface area to aid heat dissipation. The GT-R's braking system utilises the same wheel rotation sensors used to control the ATTESA-ETS PRO, to activate the high-performance ABS, ensuring that the huge Brembo calipers always deliver optimum performance.The car presented here is the 42nd official, UK-supplied, R33 GT-R sold (#107) and was first registered on the 7th May 1998. Supplied new by renowned GT-R specialists ‘Middlehurst Garage’ (in arguably the best ‘Godzilla’ colour of Midnight Purple) to its first owner, a Mr Craven, who bought it as a company car. He was quite obviously a genuine Japanese sports-car enthusiast, with an understanding of the associated culture, especially 20 or so years ago. To release the latent performance potential from this sort of machine, Mr Craven commissioned specialists ‘Abbey Motorsport’ of Surrey to carry out an engine conversion from 2.6-litre to 2.8-litre (not dissimilar to the specification of the ‘mythical’ UK trio of ‘500R’ R33s). Knowing the expertise of Abbey Motorsport and that this is a well-known route to performance amongst GT-R owners, our vendor subsequently leapt at the opportunity to buy the car and thus become the car’s 2nd owner, cherishing it for the last 16 years. Unsurprisingly, it is accompanied by the original service book, owners’ manuals, and maintenance records.As a member of the GT-R Club and very much part of the owners’ community, our vendor is well-placed to understand and evaluate these special cars. His car is not only special due to its UK-supplied status and its amazing paint colour of Midnight Purple, but there have also been some choice enhancements added to it, something these cars thrive on and is regarded as the ‘done thing’. Hence, through his owners’ club connections, he sourced from another member a very sound RB26 2.6-litre engine, professionally installing it and setting about a raft of upgrades. In its current state of tune, the forged internals of this RB26 engine have been dyno’d on a rolling road with 486bhp at the wheels, at a modest 1.4 bar of boost which equates to about 600bhp at the flywheel. The engine can run at 2 bar, which would generate around 800bhp but would inevitably put additional strain on the components. Further spec details include 1000cc Injectors, Tomei Fuel Rail, single T78 Turbo, Trust extra capacity oil sump, AEM Series 2 ECU, competition triple plate clutch, 19” Nismo carbon dipped alloy wheels, D2 fully adjustable suspension, and D2 upgraded brake kit.Potential bidders should not be deterred by the engine installation or modifications, there are very few standard-specification matching-numbers R33 examples out there and would certainly demand a £100,000-plus guide price. Knowledgeable ownership, the quality of the work carried out and maintenance are key to these cars. Reassuringly solid on the underside (with most metal here having been preventatively powder-coated over the years) and inner wings, the known vulnerable area of a GT-R, the car has benefitted from such diligent improvements and ownership, plus regular servicing, and considerate storage - being garaged for the last 16 years in an air-conditioned facility.

A grown-up Mk2, the S-Type was the most aspirational saloon car of the period.The S-Type was a sporting saloon combining the best of the Mk2 and the Mk10With it's new independent rear suspension, it comfortably out-handled the Mk2 This is one of just 9,717 examples produced in RHD 3.8-litre specificationWith its original owner for almost 30 years, before passing it to his sonNow showing just 35,317 milesDelightfully presented in Regency Red with a classic Jaguar red leather interiorLots of original features, whilst befitting from an expert restoration in the 1990sA fantastic way into first-time classic car ownership, this high-specification S-Type would be welcome at any classic motoring eventProduced from 1963 to 1968, the Jaguar S-Type was technically a more sophisticated development of the Jaguar Mk2, offering buyers a more luxurious alternative. It was available with either 3.4 or 3.8-litre XK engines and featured longer rear bodywork amongst other styling and interior changes. Despite its extra weight, the S-Type's independent rear suspension allowed it to corner faster than the Mk2, especially on uneven surfaces, providing better traction and a much smoother ride for rear seat passengers with the consensus that the S-Type offered significant improvements over the Mk2 in road holding, safety and ride comfort. It was described as 'a convenient family car, a businessman's express, a sports coupé and a grand tourer.'The car presented here is a 1966 home market car in right-hand drive, 3.8-litre form, one of just 9,717 such examples and, with the manual/overdrive gearbox, the most desirable S-Type configuration. This matching-numbers car suits its Regency Red paintwork, working well in combination with its wonderfully original red leather interior. One of most well-preserved interiors we’ve seen in a Jaguar saloon of this era, it's a splendid space to occupy, benefiting from newer carpets fitted some time ago.According to the accompanying Heritage Certificate, it was manufactured on the 14th April 1966, and purchased by a Mr May, who owned it up until 1995, some 29 years, passing it on to his son who kept it until August 2021. It was originally produced in Golden Sand paintwork, but we understand was professionally restored/repainted in the 1990s (all areas of the engine bay and boot were painted well; there is no trace of the former colour). Bought by our vendor just last year, as he was just so taken with the one-family owner condition and sheer integrity of the car. Sadly, during the passing of time, the history file that once accompanied the car was misplaced and lost (the few pieces that remain include an MOT certificate from 1995 describing the car as ‘Maroon’).During the latter period of Mr May’s original ownership, we understand that the car was taken off the road and stored in a properly prepared garage for many years, being regularly run-up and cared for; its last MOT Certificate in 2003 shows a mileage of 35,129 miles (which is now just 35,400) with the car's overall condition suggesting this mileage is genuine. In the hands of our vendor, the car has been treated to some light recommissioning, and is said to drive and perform as it should. The 1990s restoration has held up very well, mellowing down with now a lovely honest patina in combination with untouched original elements. The paintwork retains a deep shine, whilst the underside is very solid and still retains a decent application of Waxoyl.Our vendor says the 3.8-litre engine always fires into life with three pumps of the throttle and a push of the starter button, with the automatic choke working well and cutting out once warmed. He goes on: "The car drives really well, it’s quiet and responsive and sounds just right through its stainless exhaust.”A fantastic way into first-time classic car ownership, this high-specification S-Type would be welcome at any classic motoring event. With Mk2 values now seeing some original examples out of the reach of many an enthusiast, the S-Type offers a more realistic chance of ownership. This extremely low-owner, highly useable ‘60s sports-saloon is worthy of any inspection and should offer many years of driving pleasure.

A proper sporting classic, thoughtfully prepared and looking, every inch, the sixties racer.Jaguar's seminal Mk2 sports saloon in the ultimate 3.8-litre, manual/overdrive configurationWearing Coombs-style metal spats, black wire wheels with chrome spinners, and leather bonnet straps front and rear, there is a real appearance of a period racing saloon Real kerb appeal backed up by a strong engine, a full stainless-steel exhaust, and a solid underside New carpets, belts and renewed seatsA usable fun classic car designed to be jumped in, driven, and enjoyedLaunched in October 1959, the Jaguar Mk2 offered a noticeably improved driving experience over its predecessor courtesy of revised front suspension geometry, widened rear track, and four-wheel disc brakes. It was also better looking and, fittingly, the Mk2 was voted 'Car of the Year' in 1959 and would form the mainstay of Jaguar's saloon car production until 1967. One of the most readily recognised cars of the 1960s, thanks in part to countless appearances in films and on television, Jaguar's seminal Mk2 saloon set the standard for the class throughout its entire production life and today remains highly prized by enthusiasts. With the advent of the Mk2, the 3.8-litre version of Jaguar's XK twin-cam six became available for the first time in the company's medium-sized saloon. In 3.8-litre, manual/overdrive configuration with 220bhp on-tap and a whopping 240lb/ft of torque available at a lowly 3,000rpm, it was a genuine 125 mph car capable of reaching 60mph in 8.5 seconds, outstanding figures for a saloon of its size and making it the fastest saloon in the world at the time.The car presented here a 1960 Jaguar Mk2 3.8-litre manual/overdrive example finished in fetching Indigo Blue. On offer from a small private collection of cars and used by our vendor on trips to Goodwood and Bicester Heritage, where it always turns heads, he describes it as “a fun usable classic designed to be jumped in, driven and enjoyed " and as having a ‘lovely, sweet 3.8 engine’ with no drips or leaks, fitted with small alloy trumpets, it is connected to a later 4-speed overdrive gearbox, this Mk2 both goes extremely well whilst looking a bit different from the more traditional examples out there.Wearing Coombs-style metal spats, black wire wheels with chrome spinners, and leather bonnet straps front and rear, there is a real appearance of a period racing saloon and this is finished off with a badge-bar adorned with genuine period badges, Speedwell wing mirrors, yellow Lucas lens covers, and Dunlop fog light covers. The bumpers have had the overriders removed and have been painted, period roundels and stickers adorn the bodywork and the whole effect is enhanced by a full stainless Falcon sports exhaust. The bodywork is described as ‘straight, with a few minor marks’ and, reassuringly, the underside appears completely solid.Between the photos attached being taken and the auction date, our vendor has treated the car to a renewal of its original Mk2 leather seats, the rears with picnic tables, the fronts now with period lap-belts, whilst a Moto-Lita wooden steering wheel, a new (but period-style) fire extinguisher in a leather holder and a new set of carpets have been added (photos of which will follow soon). One glance at 'KSH 687' and you are instantly reminded of those close range, black and white images of Grand Prix drivers sliding their Mk2 Jaguars around Silverstone in the early 1960s. It's a great colour, correctly presented and just looks right. It's not a competition car or a heavily modified, intractable 'fast-road' saloon but a straightforward, owner-friendly, road-going Mk2 and, if today's images were in black and white, it could well be from 1961 when Mk2s in the hands of Moss, Hawthorn, Salvadori and Hill were dominant in British saloon car racing. A usable fun classic car designed to be jumped in, driven, and enjoyed and, with its nostalgic looks, would be welcome anywhere.

Recently refreshed, this sparkling Corniche soft-top has covered just over 32,000 miles.Beautiful Corniche in the rather stylish colour combination of Seychelles Blue over Magnolia hideA glamorous resident of New York for most of its life and returned to the UK in 2017A remarkably low 32,135 miles covered, supported by an American CARFAX reportAccompanied by its original handbooks, factory toolkit and jackThe recipient of a recently completed three-year recommissioning process, including a bare-metal repaint, a new mohair hood and full mechanical serviceFor the Corniche, the revered 6.75-litre aluminium-alloy V8 engine produces around 10% more power than standard, giving a top speed of more than 120 mph and sportscar-beating acceleration to matchThe two-door convertible version of the Silver Shadow has been, without a doubt, the most commercially successful convertible ever produced by Rolls-Royce. First introduced in 1966 as the ‘Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward Two-door, Drophead Coupe’, to give it its full title, the car was instantly in demand. When Rolls-Royce launched the two-door cars, the international jet-set began to clamour for attention at the dealerships. With waiting lists measured in years, these hugely desirable vehicles began to change hands at significant premiums over list price and one can imagine the hushed negotiations over the green baize of the gaming tables at Crockfords, the Palm Beach and Aspinalls. Customers who ordered the Drophead were not the same people who purchased the company's sensible saloons and the cars were frequently specified in bright colours and eventually it became apparent that this version deserved to have its own model name so, after a few cosmetic changes in 1971, the Corniche was born. The name originally comes from the French word for a coastal road, especially along the face of a cliff, most notably the Grande Corniche along the French Riviera above the principality of Monaco, and it was thought at the time that this new name would convey some of the style and glamour of Monte Carlo and, fifty years later, it still does. Rolls-Royce envisioned a time when owners would like to drive their own cars and the Corniche continued to be developed with this in mind and even had a rev counter fitted as standard. Around 10% more power was coaxed from the proven 6,750cc aluminium-alloy V8 endowing the two-door with a top speed in excess of 120 mph and sportscar-beating acceleration to match. Progressively developed, the Corniche received Rolls’ advanced split-level air conditioning system along with a re-designed fascia in 1976 - the first Rolls-Royce model to do so. A mild restyling was on the cards for the Spring of 1977 and the differences included rack-and-pinion steering, alloy and rubber bumpers, aluminium radiator, and oil cooler. Despite its sky-high asking price, the model proved a major success for Rolls-Royce; periodically revised and updated, it remained in production well into the 1990s, the last (Convertible) examples being delivered in 1995.The car presented here dates from 1983 and was personally imported by our car-collecting vendor in the Summer of 2017, having been a New York inhabitant for most of its life. Used sparingly, as most ‘Big Apple’ stately automobiles often are, it has covered just 32,135 miles. It's accompanied by its original handbooks, its factory toolkit and jack, a handful of receipts and an American CARFAX which supports the low mileage.Upon its arrival here, the car was fully serviced, MOT’d and UK registered. Whilst close inspection revealed it to be rust-free, there was evidence of some minor lacquer peel on a few areas of the bodywork. Subsequently, with the intention of keeping the car, the vendor commissioned it to be stripped to the bare metal and re-painted in its factory colour of Seychelles Blue whilst the coachlines were hand-painted in Magnolia to match the interior leather. The paintwork now presents in superb, better-than-new condition and is a sight to behold.Now, with this standard of bodywork, the car was treated to a completely new mohair hood with a matching lambswool inner lining. All the interior wood has been specialist re-veneered and lacquered, whilst the seats, although in excellent condition, have been professionally cleaned and refreshed. The car wears a set of new Avon Turbospeed white-wall tyres.Many thousands of pounds have been invested to make this Corniche one of the best available and it's accompanied by a full photographic record of its recommissioning by numerous specialists, a project that has taken three years and much expenditure to complete. Unsurprisingly, the car drives and performs as well as you’d expect, with all auxiliaries elements correctly working too.An unexpected change of circumstances regretfully means that our vendor must now part with his Corniche, a car he had aspired to own for several years, having sourced a very sound example and enjoyed the process of bringing back to its absolute best. Freshly MOT’d and always garaged since its renewal, this sparkling Corniche is the perfect addition to any collection of special motor cars.These beautiful convertibles have a timeless elegance and this delightful example looks superb in the head-turning colour combination of Seychelles Blue with blue-piped Magnolia hide and navy blue carpets. Anyone who saw one of these with the top down when they were first introduced would have found it difficult to conceive that an amalgam of steel, glass, Walnut and leather could have been formed into something so utterly desirable.(The registration ‘BEE 633’ is not included in the sale of the car but is available by separate negotiation).SpecificationMake: ROLLS ROYCEModel: CORNICHE CONVERTIBLEYear: 1983Chassis Number: SCAZD42A8DCX05830Registration Number: BEE 633Drive Side: Left-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

Attractive, two-wheel drive, 'nine six four' looking rather stylish in Midnight Blue Pearl.A lovely, left-hand drive, Carrera 2 that's clearly been well looked afterFinished in Midnight Blue metallic with a blue leather interiorFamiliar 3.6-litre, 250bhp, flat-six engine, powering the rear wheels only through the automatic gearboxDelivered new to Japan and imported to the UK in 2015Jaz Porsche did the most recent work in October 2020 at 115,000km (71,457 miles)This Tiptronic 964 Carrera 2 is a great example and an excellent entry into 911 ownership.When the 964 was first brought to market, Porsche were keen to emphasise that, although it was patently still a 911, it was in fact 85% different from the outgoing model. The design featured more integrated bumpers and a host of mechanical changes, most significant of which was the availability of four-wheel drive. The displacement was now up to 3600cc, producing 250bhp, power steering and ABS brakes were now fitted as standard, and the torsion bar rear suspension was replaced with coil springs and shock absorbers. Careful attention to the aerodynamics reduced the drag coefficient down to 0.32, and with virtually zero lift, stability and road holding at high speed were greatly improved. A new feature was the retractable spoiler which automatically extended at 50 mph and in addition to seriously increasing downforce, also doubled the volume of cooling air fed into the engine compartment. Fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard, most variants were reputed to be capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds with a top speed of over 160mph.The delightful Carrera 2 on offer here is a left-hand drive example showing 109,000km (71,457 miles) and is finished in the great combination of Midnight Blue Pearl with a blue leather interior. Believed to be first delivered new to Japan, it was optioned with electric front seats, air con, sunroof delete and sits on 17-inch Cup alloy wheels. An alpine DAB radio and Bluetooth connectivity have been flitted later in its life.Having arrived on these shores in 2015, the C2 has clearly been well looked after since having visited marque specialists Parr in 2019 and Jaz Porsche in 2020. It's supplied with an MOT until December 2022, the original owners' book pack, spare wheel, tyre compressor, the V5C and various invoices from over the years.

A super, low mileage, right-hand drive example of the very rare GTS.The rarest of all 928s, only 2,904 GTS models were builtFrom the final year of production and Singapore delivered in right-hand drivePurchased new by a British resident who brought the car back with him in 1999In beautiful original condition with Polar Silver paintwork over light grey leatherFull and documented history from new. Speedo change to MPH recorded in the service bookLess than 40,000 miles (both speedos) from new. Original book pack with service book stamped up-to-dateMost recent service with a Porsche specialist at 31,541 miles (July 2020). Current mileage 31,595In terms of the 928, in 1989 Porsche moved the game on with the even more powerful 928 GT, which with a top speed of around 170mph was the Stuttgart firm's fastest production car at that time, before launching the model's ultimate incarnation, the 928 GTS. Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1991, the latter boasted a 5.4-litre engine producing all of 345bhp and automatics were fitted with the much faster responding Dynamic Kickdown gearboxes setting them apart from the previous models. Externally, the GTS differed from the S4 with its new style of alloy wheels, flared rear arches and a body-coloured rear spoiler. What Porsche was not advertising when the 928GTS was released was the price, which was amongst the most expensive cars on the road at the time. This severely hampered sales despite the model's level of competency and long standard equipment list. Porsche discontinued the GTS in 1995 after selling only 2,904 examples in total, which at the time was a problem, but in 2020 makes for a rare and incredibly desirable model.Offered here is a Singapore delivered (C28), right-hand drive, 928 GTS supplied new by Stuttgart Auto Pte. Ltd. and registered on 6 January 1995. Specified by a British resident in Singapore in Polar Silver paintwork with Classic grey leather interior the buyer couldn’t leave his Porsche behind and imported the car back to the UK in 1999. From new servicing was carried out at regular intervals by the supplying dealer in Singapore then Porsche main agents in the UK up to 2009.Our vendor carefully selected this example to become part of his collection in 2010 and since then the GTS has been enjoyed occasionally, carefully dry stored and when required service by the local Porsche specialist with a great industry reputation for Porsche of this era. Present in the history file is the original book-pack with original service book stamped up-to-date. The most recent service shows in July 2020 with an MOT completed at the same time. The current is valid until 26/07/2022. A speedo change to MPH is also documented by Porsche Centre Kent in March 1999 at 12,407 Km (7,593 miles).The exterior of this example is exceptional and the interior shows only light wear as expected with a car from the mid 90s. The wheels are in great shape and fitted with correct premium brand tyres as you will see in the detailed images and video footage. On test, the car fired into life with ease and the engine sounded good and healthy. The accompanying history file includes the aforementioned book-pack, associated paperwork, old MOTs, the current MOT and current V5c ready for transfer.Our vendor, a genuine classic car enthusiast, speaks fondly of trips in his GTS to Tuscany with the old V8 eating the miles with ease. Along with handsome lines and reasonable maintenance costs, these front engine V8 Porsche GTs from the 90s are becoming increasingly popular and difficult to source in such lovely condition.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 928Year: 1995Chassis Number: W00ZZZ92ZRS800485Registration Number: M198 EAHTransmission: AutoEngine Number: 81R50931 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 31594 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: GreyClick here for more details and images

It's a 6.2-litre unit and was the first V8 from the AMG stable to be designed from the ground up, with its initial application being in the E63 super-saloon. The engine was further developed for the SLS with a dry-sump set-up and 120 unique parts and, in this guise, could muster a very healthy 563bhp. It's a simply superb engine and even when running on a light throttle it rumbles and crackles like distant thunder and lightning. It's mated to a seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission complete with a 'Race Start' launch-control system enabling a claimed 0-62mph time of 3.8secs and a top speed of 197mph.The SLS is one of those machines that had modern-classic written all over it from the moment it first saw the light of day and Mercedes themselves state on record that they will only build such a special car once every 50 years or so and there was never any replacement either planned or offered. Whilst it was the first car to be fully designed by AMG in-house, it was sadly the last to be fitted with a naturally aspirated V8, the most powerful normally aspirated engine they had ever built.Here we have a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing offered directly from the first private owner tastefully specified with individual AMG Imola Grey metallic paint and Classic Red Designo single-tone exclusive leather interior. It was supplied new by Mercedes-Benz Manchester and first registered on 25 November 2010. Since taking delivery of the SLS, our vendor has enjoyed the car occasionally, carefully dry storing it when not in use and ensuring it was correctly serviced by the local Mercedes-Benz main agent.It's accompanied by a history file including the original book-pack with drivers manuals, a print-out of the service history showing 9 visits to Mercedes-Benz with the most recent service September 2020 at 16,374 miles, health checks, invoices, old MOTs and its current V5c registration papers ready for transfer.There is no better way to describe this remarkable vehicle other than truly 'breathtaking', it really is special. Production ceased in 2014, and Mercedes-AMG have elected not to replace the model, so we can only surmise what will happen to values. The SLS AMG was destined to be a modern classic from the moment it arrived and this superbly presented and maintained example would fit nicely into any collection of important motor cars.

One of the finest examples of this rare model to be found in Europe, with extensive bills for recent works.Manufactured in 1988 and shipped to the US, the car was registered in the UK on the 9th July 2012Finished in Smoke Silver with matching hardtop and beige leather interior under a contrasting brown soft-topOptions from new include Outside Temp Gauge, Rear Spoiler Delete, Airbag, Becker Mexico Radio, Paintwork Preservation, Automatic AntennaA 2021 bill for £18,0000 covers the Euro Spec cosmetic conversion, paintwork, suspension works and four new tyresThe odometer reading of some 42,500 miles (atoc) is corroborated by the car’s CarFax report and UK issued MOTs since 2012Offered to auction with handbooks and an MOT until October 2022. Perfect for continental touring.Produced during the final years of the globally successful R107 range, the Mercedes-Benz 560SL was the largest displacement offered, with a 5.6-litre V8 engine produced to combat the restrictive emissions regulations primarily in California. It might seem counter productive to us today but, back in the late 1980s, it was only by increasing displacement to 5.6-litres that the USA specification cars could be given comparable performance to the European 500SL and still comply with the necessary emissions rules. As is often the case with motorcars, it is this range-topping ‘560SL’ badge that buyers so desire, particularly as the largest displacement SL was never offered in Europe – it was only available in the USA, Japan and Australia. It's recorded as having been manufactured in 1988 and shipped to California in the factory colours of Smoke Silver, matching hard top and brown soft top with beige leather interior. Options from new included an Outside Temp Gauge, Rear Spoiler Delete, Airbag, Becker Mexico Radio, Paintwork Preservation, Automatic Antenna, Folding Arm Rest and Illuminated Vanity Mirrors. The accompanying CarFax reports incremental increases in mileage from 1991 until it left California in 2012. The car was registered in the UK on the 9th July 2012 and used for holidays in Marbella, where it remained most of the time, returning to the UK for an MOT most years. The current odometer reading was some 42,500 miles at the time of cataloguing. US Federal crash-testing regulations of the period  required the fitting of larger bumpers which ruined the R107’s sleek good looks, however, a 'Euro Spec' facelift in 2021 saw the ugly bumpers removed, and a repaint in factory colours with suspension works for a total bill of £18,140. The alloy wheels were refurbished and four correct Michelin tyres fitted, coming to £1,211 and included in the works receipt dated 15th September 2021. As a consequence of this cosmetic update this car is extremely rare in Europe.The Mercedes is presented to auction with handbooks, the CarFax report, UK MOT history and aforementioned £18,000 invoice. We can think of no other left-hand drive R107 for sale in today’s market that combines the rare 5.6-litre V8 engine with the classic good looks of a European-supplied car and this long-legged SL would be perfect for Continental touring.SpecificationMake: MERCEDESModel: R107 SLYear: 1988Chassis Number: WDBBA48DXJA085461Registration Number: E233 KHKTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 11796712035465 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 42500 MilesMake: Only LHDInterior Colour: Beige LeatherClick here for more details and images

One of only 76 RHD examples of the DB7GT. 435bhp V12, a manual gearbox and pin-sharp handling. Fabulous.UK-supplied, right hand drive DB7 V12 GT in current private ownership since 2012Finished in Solway Grey Mica with a two-tone grey leather interior and is rare as it sits on the larger optional alloys for the GTNaturally fitted with the desirable manual gearbox. 73,592 miles have been covered (atoc)Recent service at marque specialist McGurk PerformanceRefurbished wheels, air-con compressor, new tyres, fresh MOT valid until 8th February 2023An opportunity to enjoy V12, manual gearbox Aston ownership in a rare model at a very sensible guide.For some Aston Martin customers, even a Vantage engine just didn't quite do the job. Demand for a higher-performance DB7 was sufficient to persuade Aston to develop the DB7 GT, crafted for those drivers who wanted more power, increased handling, and an overall greater driving experience.In 2002, the new variant of the DB7 was launched, named the V12 GT or GTA when equipped with automatic transmission. Its V12 engine produced 435 bhp and 410 lb·ft of torque in the manual car, although the automatic GTA retained the 420 bhp and 400 lb·ft of torque of the standard DB7 Vantage. Additionally, the GT and GTA chassis had substantially uprated suspension from the DB7 Vantage models.The existing six-cylinder DB7 bodyshell was re-engineered to accommodate the new V12 engine/transmission package, resulting in a 20% stiffer structure exceeding all contemporary crash test requirements, while the suspension was developed specifically for this new model. Cross-drilled 355 mm front and 330 mm rear vented-disc brakes assisted retardation and new five-spoke,18-inch alloy wheels were fitted to provide optimum levels of performance and grip.Special attention was paid to the aerodynamic balance with the adoption of additional sweeps for the undertray, wheel arch liner extensions and a revised boot lid spoiler which enhanced the new look. These additions helped to reduce lift by almost 50%. Aesthetically, compared to the Vantage, it has a mesh front grille, vents in the bonnet, a boot spoiler, an aluminium gear lever, optional carbon fibre trim and those new wheels. Production of the GT and GTA was extremely limited, as only 190 GTs and 112 GTAs were produced worldwide.This, UK supplied, right-hand drive DB7 GT is one of those 190 and has been in current private ownership since 2012 having bought the car from Marque specialist, McGurk Performance. It's finished in Solway Grey Mica with a two-tone grey leather interior and sits on a set of the larger optional alloys for the GT. Being a GT it's naturally fitted with the desirable manual gearbox and it had covered 73,592 miles at the time of cataloguing.Following a few years of dry storage, the GT has recently been serviced by McGurk performance and at the same time they also replaced the air conditioning compressor, replaced a broken spring, refurbed the wheels, fitted new tyres and have recently issued it with a fresh MOT valid until 8th February 2023.An opportunity to enjoy V12, manual gearbox Aston ownership in a rare model at a very sensible guide.

These final cars (before being replaced by the more complicated 964) were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche's original design. Launched in 1984, and reviving the 'Carrera' name for the first time since 1977, these were the ultimate 1980s sports cars.The all-alloy, flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, giving a torque-rich 231bhp - enough to propel the lithe and slippery model to over 150 mph, with 0-60 mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. All 3.2 Carreras feature galvanised bodies, which together with Porsche's legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long lasting.Finished in Guards Red with a beautiful black leather interior, B323 PJC was imported from a dry state in the US during 2020 with an incredible 20,000 miles indicated and still sporting its original factory-spec tyres with visible and readable factory wheel weights. It was UK registered with the help of its accompanying NOVA Certificate and then duly gone through including transferring the spec from American to European in terms of bumpers, lights etc. giving it a far cleaner appearance.Greatworth Classics were the company that went through the car preparing it for the road including refreshing the whole braking system and totally recommissioning the car with a spend of just over £5,000. It was MOTd with a different set of wheels and tyres, as the car could not be driven on 35-year old rubber, however, it now sits back on those venerable wheels and tyres aiming to keep it as original as possible. There are receipts for all the work completed by Greatworth Classics and also a copy of the original US Title along with the NOVA Certificate confirming that all taxes were paid upon arrival. The current indicated mileage is 20,731 and recently the car had a total inspection by John Glenn, Independent Porsche Engineers, a copy of which is in the file. This cracking 911 Targa drives exactly as a 20,000-mile car should and still feels tight with a decent turn of speed.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 TARGAYear: 1985Chassis Number: WP0EB0915FS160156Registration Number: B323 PJCTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 64F00353Odometer Reading: 20000 MilesMake: Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Two-wheel drive 993 C2 Tiptronic in a fabulous colour.C16 UK-supplied 911 (993) C2 Tiptronic3.6-litres, 272bhp, 0-60 in 5.6 secs and 168mph60,424 miles and four previous keepersFinished in Iris Blue (L39V) with a smart light grey interiorIn a private collection. Less than 2,000 miles in the last 5 yearsOriginal book pack and stamped service book containing 16 stampsFull service and fresh MOT prior to the saleThe 993 was the final generation of the air-cooled 911, and as such will always have a special place in the affections of Porsche enthusiasts. It is also widely said to be the last of the 911s that were built whilst engineering integrity overruled accounting pressures at Porsche. Twenty years on, it still looks modern - a truly timeless design. The 993 was launched in the autumn of 1994 and was claimed to be 80% new. The bodywork was altogether more curvaceous, with a number of new panels and the overall look was much smoother and more integrated. Importantly, this new style was still every inch a 911 in the traditional manner, with the profiles of the doors and rear quarter windows remaining unchanged from earlier models.The biggest change under the skin was the new multi-link rear suspension, giving greater driver confidence, less road noise and excellent ride quality. Designed to give a level of passive rear-wheel steering (the 'Weissach effect'), thus controlling the way the suspension behaved under cornering, braking and acceleration, it transformed the 911. It was also the first 911 to be equipped with power steering and an advanced ABS system. The 993 uses essentially the same 3.6-litre engine as the 964, mated to a development of the worthy G50 gearbox, but now with six forward gears or the smooth Tiptronic automatic gearbox. Whereas the Porsche 964 produced 247 bhp, the 993 from 1995 produced 272bhp enabling a top speed of over 150mph and acceleration to match.Looking sublime in Iris Blue with a complementing Light Grey leather upholstery, this lovely 993 was supplied by H R Owen of St Albans on the 10th of August 1996 to its first owner a Mr David Richards. It was subsequently enjoyed by three further keepers before being purchased by its current owner in 2013 and joining his private collection in 2016 where it has relaxed in heated storage with only occasional use amounting to 2,000 odd miles in the last five years. It's supplied with its full original book pack and stamped service book containing 16 stamps and an accompanying A4 file with a plethora of invoices backing up the service stamps and also 9 old MOTs. The indicated mileage is 60,424 and prior to the sale it will be fully serviced by Greatworth Classics and MOT’d by them to ensure this gorgeous 911 is on the button for the sale.

Classically presented and fastidiously maintained, this glorious red Roadster has covered less than 33,000 miles since its return to the UK.Built on 25/10/1967 as a LHD, 4.2-litre, Open two-seater (OTS) fitted with a manual gearboxDispatched on 14/11/1967 to Jaguar Cars, New York prior to being delivered to its first owner, the Executive Car Leasing CompanyReturned to the UK in early 1989 and converted to right-hand drive in MarchProfessionally repainted in its original Carmen Red by Sherwood Restorations and fitted with UK-spec triple SU carburettorsIts UK history from this point is comprehensive and includes service records, maintenance and upgradesMost recent service by RetroMarques on 15/07/2021 @ 32,092. Current indicated mileage is 32,274Supplied with a substantial amount of history included in four ring binders containing extensive invoices, MOT Certificates, tax discs and associated correspondenceAccording to its Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, Jaguar E-Type #1E16150 was a left-hand drive, 4.2-litre, Open two-seater (OTS) finished in Carmen Red with a black interior and fitted with a manual gearbox. Its build was completed on 25/10/1967 and it was dispatched on 14/11/1967 to Jaguar Cars, New York prior to being delivered to its first owner, the Executive Car Leasing Company.As is often the case, there is no history for the Jaguar whilst it was in the US but, pleasingly, its history since it returned to the UK in early 1989, appears to be comprehensive. Converted to right-hand drive in March of that year, it was then entrusted to Sherwood Restorations to be professionally repainted in its original Carmen Red before being UK registered on 04/07/1989 and MOT'd with an indicated mileage of 282. Although technically known as a Series 1½ (open headlights, black rocker switches, twin cooling fans, adjustable seat backs) the less desirable aspects of the US Series 1½ cars (twin Stromberg carbs, lower power output) were reversed returning the engine to triple SU, Series 1 spec.There is a very informative and detailed list with the car covering service and MOT dates and detailing important maintenance etc. and from this list we can see that two new manifolds were fitted on 23/08/95. By 10/09/97 the Jaguar had covered 7,523 miles and the following year on 15/07/98 it benefited from a major service and a new hood. The radiator was overhauled and new fans fitted in October 2005 and on 29/05/2007 with the mileage at c22,000, £5,766 was invested in a gearbox and differential rebuild by Quarry Motors, Moreton in Marsh, a new alternator, new clutch, new water pump, a brake overhaul, suspension bushes and a full service. Regular MOTs (10) and servicing continued with the MOT on 18/07/2016  showing 30,185 miles. Around 08/11/2016, Tony Williams Bodyshop in Malvern carried out work to both sills, the rear wheel arches and generally tidied-up the bodywork. This level of care and attention has continued with the most recent service and MOT by RetroMarques on 15/07/2021 at a recorded mileage of 32,092. The car's current indicated mileage is 32,274.E-Types pictured on chocolate boxes are often presented in Carmen Red with a Biscuit interior, black hood and silver wire wheels which is exactly what we have here. Purchased by our vendor in 1999, it has been enthusiastically enjoyed for over 20 years and 30,000 miles including many trips to Europe. It's accompanied by a substantial amount of history included in four ring binders containing extensive invoices, MOT Certificates, tax discs and associated correspondence.This is a lovely Series 1½ Roadster in a great colour, fastidiously maintained and generally 'on the button'.

It is also widely said to be the last of the 911s that were built whilst engineering integrity overruled accounting pressures at Porsche. Twenty years on, it still looks modern - a truly timeless design.The 993 was launched in the autumn of 1994 and was claimed by the company to be significantly different (80% new they said) from the 964. The bodywork was altogether more curvaceous, with a number of new panels and the overall look was much smoother and more integrated. Importantly, this new style was still every inch a 911 in the traditional manner, with the profiles of the doors and rear quarter windows remaining unchanged from earlier models.The biggest change under the skin was the new multi-link rear suspension, giving greater driver confidence, less road noise and excellent ride quality. Designed to give a level of passive rear-wheel steering (the “Weissach effect”), thus controlling the way the suspension behaved under cornering, braking, and acceleration, it transformed the 911. It was also the first 911 to be equipped with power steering and an advanced ABS system.The 993 used essentially the same 3.6-litre engine as the 964 and could be specified with a manual or semi-automatic (Tiptronic) gearbox. Tiptronic is a type of discrete automatic transmission developed by Porsche and it operates as a normal automatic transmission, but it also allows the driver to override the automatic mode by moving the shift lever into a second (Tiptronic) shift gate equipped with two spring-loaded positions: "upshift" and "downshift". Once in this gate, the driver takes over most of the gear changing decisions ordinarily performed by the transmission's computer. In a 993, the upshift and downshift operations can also be commanded by push buttons installed on the steering wheel.August 1995 heralded the introduction of the 'VarioRam' induction system, helping to boost power to 285bhp, and enabling a top speed close to 170 mph and acceleration to match.The car seen here is a 1996, 911 (993) Carrera 2 Targa with the Tiptronic gearbox, and is a RHD, C16 (UK market) example. Classically presented in Polar Silver with an all-black interior, it remains in lovely standard specification, wearing the distinctive split-rims wheels which were an option for the 993 Targa model. The car is in superb condition, (always good to see factory stickers still in-situ) having been owned and treasured by discerning Porsche-enthusiast-owners in both Hong Kong and Germany (hence km/h conversion) and maintained by Porsche, before returning to the UK in 2010 where again it was looked after by Porsche Centres and marque specialists, with a wealth of receipts to support this care. Part of a private collection since 2016 (at this time going to Porsche for their 111-Point check, resulting in only a few very minor jobs), the car has resided in a protective bubble in a professional facility, covering just a handful of miles during this time, and regularly run-up and serviced.It has a complete service history, having covered just over 55,000 documented miles (88,784km) and, with the benefit of a recent service and fresh MOT (done only a matter of weeks ago by respected Porsche specialists Zuffenhaus of Solihull), it drives and performs as well as you’d expect from such a well-cared for car. The Targa roof creates a light and airy feel in what is already a very attractive cabin and the unique benefit of the Targa concept is being able to offer a flavour of open-top motoring whilst retaining a good degree of structural rigidity.The 993-series 911 has an important place in the history of Porsche's most famous model and is regarded by many as a true modern classic, offering genuine usability with all the characterful quirkiness of earlier 911s. This delightful, low mileage example is a very fine specimen, patently cared for, and now ready to be used and enjoyed by a new custodian.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 993 TARGA TIPTRONICYear: 1996Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99ZTS381555Registration Number: N214 NWUTransmission: Semi-autoEngine Number: 63T52684Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 88784 KMMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Superbly presented, well maintained and less than 24,000 miles from new.Modern, aerodynamic and efficient body shape, with distinctive side strakes4.9-litre V12 producing 390bhp, capable of 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds and 196mphOriginally delivered to Europe with the correct Tipo F113B engine in late 1991Exported to Japan but returned to the UK in 2015The previous owner instructed Lights Cars Action (LCA) of Bordon to carry out a substantial mechanical re-commission (see website). Finished in early 2018 and LCA's account for this was £17,676 (invoice in file)Further attention in 2019 by Joe Macari Servicing (£3,952) @ 38,270km (23,780 miles)Only 122km (76miles) since then. Accompanied by its V5C, invoices and manuals etc.When Ferrari introduced the Testarossa at the Lido on the Champs-Elysees on the eve of the 1984 Paris Salon de l’Auto, it caused a sensation. The crisp, square-cut almost deliberately functional lines and superior mechanical specification instantly rendered the 512BBi yesterday’s car and was rightly regarded as possibly the best car Ferrari had ever built.The name 'Testarossa', literally Redhead, became synonymous with Ferrari sports racing cars in the ‘50s and ‘60s and was resurrected at that seminal 1984 launch. Housing a sweet and free-revving 4.9-litre flat dry-sumped V12 engine producing 390bhp, now cooled by rear positioned radiators, the car was capable of a respectable 0-60 mph time of 5.2 seconds and a top speed of c180mph. Produced between 1984 and 1991, some 7,177 Testarossas were made in total. Once again, time showed Pininfarina's design to be durable, and throughout the 1980s, the distinctive 'strakes' were echoed in other design disciplines from cars to kettles. However, although the design may have seemed to be 'of the moment', the Testarossa proved itself to be a well-built car, and despite its 'Eiger-rivaling' list price, turned out to be Ferrari's most successful model ever.The final evolution of the model (sometimes called ’88.5’ models) featured a lot more changes than just the new five-stud wheels. There were modifications to the steering column, suspension including the dampers, a wider track and new brake discs. From 1989, Testarossas ran the ‘B’-spec motor with KE-Jetronic and catalytic converters.Today, the Testarossa is a design icon, symbolic of eighties culture, and despite a period in the ‘boondocks’, its popularity is returning rapidly. It's not a surprise really since the Testarossa offers a rare package of serious performance, practicality, reasonable comfort and confidence-inspiring handling at high speed that becomes almost addictive.Originally delivered to Europe with the correct Tipo F113B engine in late 1991, this Testarossa was exported to Japan at some point, however, appears to have been hardly used there and was imported to the UK in 2015. It was purchased by its previous owner in May 2015 but not UK registered immediately, remaining in dry storage whilst he assessed his options. The following year he instructed Lights Cars Action (LCA) of Bordon, Hampshire to commence a full mechanical re-commission which included engine removal, replacement of cam belts, new clutch, overhauling brake calipers, new fuel pumps and hoses, new electric window motors, new distributor caps and HT leads, reconditioned starter motor, replacement brake master cylinder and much more. This work was finished in early 2018 and LCA's account for this was £17,676 and a detailed copy is in the file. The car was UK registered on 2/07/2018 and purchased by our vendor on 24/07/2018 to join the other impressive cars in his Collection where it has been enjoyed occasionally. It received further attention in January 2019 when a TDC sensor was replaced and the engine carefully set up by Joe Macari Servicing at a cost of £3,952 with the indicated mileage at that point 38,270km (23,780 miles). The Ferrari has only covered a further 122km (76miles) since then. It's accompanied by its V5C, invoices and manuals etc.Even today, few cars can match the on-road presence of a Testarossa, and this fastidiously maintained, low mileage example represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of these remarkable high-performance Ferraris at a very sensible guide.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: TESTAROSSAYear: 1991Chassis Number: ZFFAA17B000077224Registration Number: J185 EFUTransmission: ManualOdometer Reading: 38392 KMMake: Interior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

These final cars were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche's original design. Launched in 1984, reviving the 'Carrera' name for the first time since 1977, these were the epitome of 1980s sports cars. The all-alloy, flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, giving a torque-rich 231bhp - enough to propel the sleek and slippery model to over 150 mph, with 0-60 mph coming up in just 5.6 seconds. All 3.2 Carreras feature galvanised bodies, which together with Porsche's legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long lasting.Supplied new by Lancasters in November 1988, as confirmed by its Porsche birth certificate, this fabulous specification 3.2-litre Targa is finished in Granite Grey Metallic with Black leather sports seats with Porsche cloth inserts and black carpets, all in remarkably good condition.Powered by Porsche’s air-cooled 3.2-litre, 6-cylinder engine mated to the smooth and desirable G50, 5-speed manual gearbox, this car ticks every box including the staggered 15in Fuchs wheels and original 'Joe 90' tyre compressor.The indicated mileage is 108,720 and the car has just returned from a full service at Zuffenhouse Porsche which included new tappets and it was freshly MOT'd and once again passed with no advisories. It's accompanied by a comprehensive history file containing the original service book pack and a huge file of invoices and MOT Certificates.Eighties Porsches in recent years have been somewhat overlooked, however, with their era-defining styling and fantastic driving ability, these classic 911 are now receiving the respect they deserve.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 3.2 CARRERA TARGAYear: 1988Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ91ZJS140557Registration Number: F694 NVXTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 63J01935Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 108706 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black leather with clothClick here for more details and images

An original bodied Alvis Firefly which features in 'Alvis Cars in Competition', an affordable route into pre-war motoring.Well proven pre-war rally car, having successfully competed on the 1998 Monte Carlo Rally and 1999 Le Jog yOriginal four-seat tourer coachwork by Cross & EllisVery well engineered pre-war motoring, powered by Alvis’ superb 1,496 OHV engineSporting model which retains a fantastic patina, presented in British Racing Green with beige leatherAffordable entry into VSCC competition, and ideal for long-distance ralliesExtensively maintained example, with recent works by specialists Fisher RestorationIntroduced in September 1932, the Alvis Firefly was built to the same high standards as its more expensive brethren. Notably low-slung, it was based on a 'double-dropped' ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, friction dampers and four-wheel 14in drum brakes. Utilising a 9ft 10.5in wheelbase and 4ft 4in track, the model was praised by the contemporary motoring press for its ride / handling capabilities.Powered by a 1,496cc OHV engine - essentially a four-cylinder version of that found in the legendary Speed 20 - allied to either four-speed manual or ENV pre-selector transmission, the Firefly was reputedly capable of 75mph. Available with a choice of saloon, tourer or drophead coupe coachwork, it remained in production until 1935 by which time some 904 are thought to have been sold.AXA 580 is a four-speed manual, matching-numbers Cross & Ellis Tourer. Extensively rallied by its two previous owners, it is both VSCC and FBHVC eligible making this a remarkably inexpensive route to pre-war Alvis motoring.

The iconic Ford Jeep was a mainstay in the US military and remain to this day highly sought after.The most iconic military vehicle of all time, the perfect Goodwood Revival accessoryImported from California and subsequently purchased by our vendor and UK registered in 2019Previously owned by a member of the Military Vehicle Preservation AssociationIt's an older restoration which still presents very well, correctly liveried and numbered 2094755Complete with rear tow bar, axe and spade. Recent service and new battery fitted.Well maintained example which has been much used by our enthusiast vendorRunning and driving very well, comfortably cruising at 40-50 mphDesigned to meet the US Army's requirement for a rugged, go-anywhere, four-wheel-drive vehicle capable of surviving on the barest minimum of unskilled maintenance, American Bantam's prototype was up and running by 1940, meeting the Army's requirements apart from the engine, which was deemed insufficiently powerful. The Pentagon though, doubted Bantam's ability to meet the military's post-Pearl Harbour demands so the major contracts went to Willys - the only other firm that had submitted a tender - and the Ford Motor Company, which would be responsible for the Jeep's trademark slotted radiator grille. Willys made various modifications to take advantage of a revised maximum weight requirement, which meant it was able to use its relatively heavy but adequately powerful 'Go Devil' engine. It was in this revised form that the Jeep would enter volume production. Willys-Overland's final production version was the Model MB, Ford's being designated the Model GPW. There were subtle differences between the two versions, Ford's having its components marked with the letter 'F'.After extensive field testing, the Jeep's off-road capability was first publicly demonstrated early in 1941 when one was driven up the steps of the United States Capitol by Willys's test driver, Irving 'Red' Haussman. Produced by the million, the ubiquitous Jeep saw service in every theatre of the Second World War and continued in military service with armies world-wide for several decades thereafter. Today the Jeep remains highly sought after by discerning military vehicle enthusiasts.The previous owner, a member of the Military Vehicle Preservation Association, imported this Ford Jeep from the USA, where it had been extensively restored prior to his purchase. Registered in the UK in 2019 and assigned a period registration number, the Jeep remains in very good condition, correctly liveried and numbered 2094755 – complete with rear tow bar, axe and spade. It's fitted with a canvas roof which fits well and marked Ford Motor-Co. Running on recently replaced, period correct tyres, this GPW has been serviced and fitted with a new 6-volt battery, starting instantly, driving well and comfortably cruising at 40-50 mph.Every rural car show in the country now has a section for Military Vehicles, and with WWII re-enactments and the prestigious classic car meetings all clamouring for 1940s Jeeps, this lovely example could keep you busy for the rest of the Summer.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: JEEPYear: 1943Chassis Number: 287694Registration Number: KXS 437Click here for more details and images

Just over 20,000 miles and totally cossetted. A really lovely example.Supplied new  in 2006 by  Lookers Land Rover of Bishops StortfordDesirable ‘County’ specification finished in Java Black MetallicJust over 20,000 miles from new warranted by the service and MOT historyFull service in September 2021 @ 19,407 (oil and filter change, rear brake pads)New set of Michelin Latitudes (July 2019.) Chassis steam-cleaned and Waxoyled, November 2021.Full complement of handbooks and manuals, service and maintenance invoices and the original Bill of Sale from Lookers in 2006.The humble Land Rover Defender is one of life’s great classless cars, being favoured by all walks of life looking for a reliable go-anywhere, do-anything vehicle. From Royalty to land workers, from Kensington to Kyle of Lochalsh, you’ll be sure to find a Defender working away exactly as Solihull’s engineers designed it to do.Powered by a plethora of petrol and turbocharged diesel engines and boasting all-wheel-drive, low and high-range gearing, advanced suspension setups and a seemingly endless list of both factory and aftermarket customisation options, the Defender is rightfully referred to as the king of all production off-road vehicles, and remains both a design icon and a landmark part of automotive history to this day.Naturally, this rugged nature - whilst well suited to the Defender - usually means that by this point in their lifetime, many Defenders are looking a bit long-in-the-tooth, having been used to their fullest extent across harsh conditions, as work vehicles or as general reliable runabouts, rather than being cherished family heirlooms or taking pride of place in the garage.However, there are exceptions to this generalisation, and that’s exactly what we have here, with this 2006-registered, Td5-powered, short-wheelbase Land Rover Defender 90.First registered in 2006 and supplied by Lookers Land Rover of Bishops Stortford, this Java Black Metallic ‘County’ example has covered only 20,020 miles from new, and - according to the vendor - retains its original steel wheels, and has never knowingly been fitted with a towbar for haulage work.Boasting the desirable County pack which added some much-needed creature comforts to the utilitarian Defender’s interior, the grey cloth cabin remains virtually unmarked throughout, having evidently lived an easy life and having been cherished by the current owner, who states it is “like driving a new Defender off the lot” due to its immaculate condition.Not only is the interior in excellent condition, but so is the bodywork, with the Java Black Metaillic paintwork still presenting well all these years after it left the factory, and no outwardly visible signs of heavy wear to the bodywork, paint or bumpers.Mechanically, the Td5 engine fitted to this particular ’90’ is in reportedly rude mechanical health, having covered minimal mileage for this sort of vehicle and regularly serviced, with the most recent servicing having been carried out at 19,407 miles in September 2021, including an oil and filter change, new rear brake pads, and - importantly - a course of anti-corrosion under-body wax, which will ensure this Defender remains in excellent condition for years to come.In addition to the recent service, a full set of Michelin Latitude tyres were fitted in July 2019, whilst the chassis was steam-cleaned, waxed and oiled in November 2021. Included with the sale are the original dealership number plates (still affixed to the vehicle) along with the full complement of handbooks and manuals, extensive documentation of works carried out throughout the vehicle’s lifetime, and even the original Bill of Sale from Lookers in 2006.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: DEFENDERYear: 2006Chassis Number: SALLDVB576A725205Registration Number: EK56 EZATransmission: ManualEngine Number: 15P35721B Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 20019 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: GreyClick here for more details and images

Delightful, low mileage 3.2 Carrera Sport from caring long-term ownership.UK-supplied, right-hand drive, C16 Coupe fitted with the desirable G50, 5-speed gearboxStandard factory 'Sport' model with Fuchs alloy wheels, front and rear spoilers, electric pack, sports seats and a sunroofClassically finished in Guards Red with a black interiorWith our vendor for over 15 years, remains in lovely original condition and drives accordingly58,000 miles and regularly serviced by a highly respected Porsche specialistFresh MOT valid until 1/02/2023The 3.2 Carrera is revered as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963. These final cars (before being replaced by the more complicated 964) were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche's original design. Launched in 1984, and reviving the 'Carrera' name for the first time since 1977, these were the ultimate 1980s sports cars.The all-alloy flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, producing a torque-rich 231 bhp - enough to propel the lithe and slippery coupe to over 150 mph, with 0-60 mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. Cars built from September 1986 onwards were fitted with the more user-friendly G50 Getrag gearbox, but all 3.2 Carreras feature galvanized bodies, which together with Porsche's legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long-lasting.The sparkling 911 offered here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive, C16 Coupe fitted with the desirable G50, 5-speed gearbox and the UK 'Sport' package that included Fuchs alloy wheels, front and rear spoilers, electric pack, sports seats and a sunroof. It's been enjoyed by our vendor for over 15 years and it remains in lovely original condition and drives accordingly. Servicing has been thorough and regular throughout the car’s life, although annual mileage has been kept to sunny high days and holidays. It's just been collected from a highly respected Porsche specialist, who has maintained the car for many years, where it was treated to its annual service and MOT with no faults reported. Presenting in original period Guards Red with a smart black interior, the car boasts a very original look with a clean bill of health and accident free history.For those not familiar with eighties 911s, 3.2 Carreras, particularly with the 5-speed box, are the models that help as much as any previous 911 model to define the true wonder of driving a 'Neunelfer'. Having covered just 58,000 miles from new, this is both a useable and recognised classic but may also prove to be an astute investment over time.

Blistering performance, classic looks and less than 29,000 miles from new.At launch, AMG's 493bhp, 5.4-litre supercharged V8 propelled the car to 62mph in 4.2 secondsFinished in Obsidian Black over Exclusive Red Leather with Designo Alcantara headlining. Fantastic condition in rare and desirable specification. Superb engine bayThe theatrical metal folding-roof never fails to impressJust 28,495 miles with a full service history from Mercedes-BenzNB: The Cherished Registration Number illustrated (SG 55) does not form part of the saleIntroduced in 2002, after some five years in development, the R230 Series SL Roadster was an engineering ‘tour de force’. Painstakingly modelled on a state-of-the-art supercomputer which enabled the designers to analyse every curve and line, it looked utterly sensational with an air of barely contained aggression that gave it huge road presence. Packed full of sophisticated electronic driver aids which made it immensely safe but still fun to drive, it was an instant success and is widely considered to be the best-looking Mercedes for many years.In late 2003, the stunning SL55 AMG was introduced causing shockwaves in the early-2000s performance car market with near-supercar levels of acceleration and handling, packaged in a comfortable, elegant convertible geared towards touring capability. Seriously powerful and impressively fast, the supercharged 5.4-litre V8 was rated at 493bhp with a stump-pulling 520 lbs.ft of torque. The cars were fitted with an uprated 5-speed automatic featuring AMG's 'Speedshift', there were a number of trim difference including uprated seats and the SL55 sat on a set of striking, multi-spoke AMG alloys.First registered on the 29 September 2003, this SL55 is finished in Obsidian Black over Exclusive Red Leather with Designo Alcantara headlining. The options list in 2003 was packed full of state-of-the-art equipment and, it would appear in this case, most of the boxes had been ticked. The history file is rather nicely stocked for such a modern car and includes many receipts and a full service history from Mercedes. Showing an odometer reading of some 28,495 miles, at the time of cataloguing this car represents incredible value for money. This SL55 AMG presents really, really well and appears almost unmarked. The engine bay appears showroom fresh and the whole car has patently been looked after. Ballistically quick, fabulous looks, continent covering pace, yet as civilised in town as a Toyota Corolla, it's no wonder that some 'supercar' owners tend to get a little upset.    SpecificationMake: MERCEDES BENZModel: SL55 AMG R230Year: 2003Chassis Number: WDB2304742F063658Registration Number: YR53 LYOEngine Number: 11399260020260Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 28495 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Exclusive Red LeatherClick here for more details and images
