1949 Humber Super Snipe MkIICoachwork by Coachwork by TickfordRegistration no. GAK 687Chassis no. 8801844Odometer reading: TBCMOT: N/A*Rare survivor of Humber's top-of-the-range model*One of only 44 built*Restored in the early 2000sAlready the majority shareholder in the combined Hillman/Humber concern, Rootes completed its takeover in 1931. Under Rootes' guidance, Hillman concentrated on models with mass-market appeal while Humber was pitched at a wealthier clientele. The Super Snipe first appeared in the late 1930s, finding a ready market within the ranks of Civil Service officialdom and the middle class professions, and continued in mildly face-lifted form post-WW2. In 1948 the Super Snipe underwent a more extensive revision, emerging as the longer and wider MkII, though still with the 4.1-litre six-cylinder sidevalve engine producing 100bhp. Styled with the assistance of Raymond Loewy's design studio, the MkII featured a new front end, while, perhaps surprisingly, running boards were reinstated. A touring limousine and a drophead coupé were available alongside the standard four-door saloon. The car offered here is one of only 44 drophead coupés built on the Super Snipe MkII chassis, of which only seven (not all in roadworthy condition) are known to survive. The 36th of the series, 'GAK 687' was delivered new to J C France & Co of Dewsbury on 18th November 1949. The Humber was restored to its present condition in the early 2000s and acquired by the current owner from Justin Banks in June 2004. 'GAK 687' comes with a history file containing copies of numerous invoices for parts used in its restoration; four MoTs (most recent expired 2005); an old-style V5C Registration Certificate; and an original Tickford brochure.The Humberhas been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

1966 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray CoupeRegistration no. Not UK RegisteredChassis no. 194376S126054Engine no. TBCOdometer reading: 89,066MOT: Exempt *Iconic American sports car*327ci (54.-litre) V8 engine*Present ownership since 2005To say that the Sting Ray's arrival caused a sensation would be grossly understating its impact on the North American sports car market. Indeed, such was its runaway success that the St Louis factory hired a second shift but still could not build cars fast enough to meet demand. Styled in General Motors' Art and Colour Studio under Bill Mitchell, the new Corvette featured radical styling pioneered on Mitchell's successful Stingray sports-racer, and for the first time there was a Gran Turismo coupé in the range. Beneath the skin was an all-new ladder-frame chassis with independent rear suspension, the adoption of which significantly lowered the centre of gravity, improving both roadholding and ride. Power was supplied by a 327ci (5.4-litre) V8 available in a variety of states of tune. Now recognised as representing a 'Golden Age' for the Corvette, the Sting Ray was manufactured from 1963 to 1967 and has gone on to become a highly collectible modern classic.This automatic transmission coupé comes with a history file containing various licensing documents charting its ownership in Buena Park, California (1976-1982); Huntington Beach, California (1986-1987); Tucson, Arizona (1989-1993); and Black Canyon City, Arizona (2004). The most recent such document is an Ohio Certificate of Title issued in 2005. The current vendor purchased the car from Pro-Team Corvette Sales Inc of Napoleon, Ohio on 10th November 2005. A copy of he sales agreement is on file and the Corvette also comes with an original 1966 Corvette Owner's Guide; numerous invoices for parts; and an old California license plate (black). This Sting Ray has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

1994 Land Rover Defender 300TDI 110Registration no. L392 DJFChassis no. SALLDHAF7MA945308Engine no. 16L04613AOdometer reading: 11,334MOT: 12/08/2022 *Converted to four-person seating*Used sparingly in recent years*Serviced annuallyFollowing the successful reception of the all-new Land Rover Discovery model in 1989, it was decided to give the traditional Land Rover its own name: Defender. Now boasting bold 'Defender' logos, the Land Rover continued its seemingly inexorable process of development, gaining disc brakes and power assisted steering as standard during the 1990s together with a host of other improvements. Despite, or perhaps because of, being recognisable related to the very first Land Rover of 1948, the Defender retained a steadfastly loyal customer base; indeed, in the UK in 2013 it even managed to out-sell the Range Rover. The aforementioned upgrades would continue to be made regularly until production of the traditional Land Rover Defender ceased in January 2016. This two-door Defender underwent full refurbishment in 2006 including conversion for four-person seating with two sideways-folding seats in the rear, the latter making for a flexibly large loading area (see detailed bill on file). Access to the rear seats is via the rear door, and saddle racks have been installed (the vehicle has been used to tow a horse trailer). A new turbocharger and alloy wheels were fitted during the refurbishment, and the Defender has a new speedometer. Mileage prior to the latter's replacement is estimated at circa 75,000, while a total of 11,588 miles have been covered during the current ownership. The vehicle has been serviced annually by Mark Smith of Bicester and comes with service records dating back to 2015. Pony riding activities having ceased, the Defender is now little used. Offered with a V5C document and MoT to August 2022.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 84/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1973 BMW 3.0 CSL CoupéRegistration no. UEC 154MChassis no. 2285342Odometer reading: 86,885MOT: Exempt*Present ownership for 40-plus years*Reconditioned engine fitted at 68,000 miles (circa 19,000 miles ago)*Requires re-commissioning following period of storage1973 was a landmark year for BMW, for not only did the German manufacturer power Jean-Pierre Jarier to the European Formula 2 Championship, it also captured the European Touring Car Championship using one of the most iconic racing 'saloons' of modern times: the 3.0 CSL (Coupé Sport Leicht) homologation special, known popularly as the 'Batmobile'. Powered initially by a fractionally over-bored (3,003cc) engine (enabling it to compete in the over 3-litre class) the 3.0 CSL came with 206bhp for road use and well over 300 horsepower for the track. The current vendor has owned this rare right-hand drive BMW 3.0 CSL for the last 40-plus years, during the course of which it has been used for several European tours. While in the vendor's ownership the car has benefited from ongoing restoration and regular maintenance, most significantly the installation of a new 'factory' reconditioned engine at 68,000 miles (receipts available). Stored for a period of time, the car will require general re-commissioning before further use; in that connection it should be noted that the tyres need replacing and that, although the engine runs, the injector seals are leaking. Finished in gold with original black cloth/vinyl interior, the CSL comes with a V5C Registration Certificate and a fully documented history.With only 1,039 CSLs produced between 1973 and 1975 compared to over 19,000 standard CS/CSi models, these 'specials' will always be relatively rare and today this ultimate BMW coupé is highly sought after. £60,000 - 80,000Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 77/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

2005 Bentley Continental Flying Spur SaloonRegistration no. LJ05 BBFChassis no. SCBBE53W96C031037Odometer reading: 58,950MOT: 26/07/2022*Landmark modern Bentley*58,950 miles from new*Full service history (bar one service)The Continental Flying Spur was a derivative of the Continental GT, the first model introduced by Bentley Motors following its acquisition by the Volkswagen Group in 1998 and the first Bentley to employ mass production manufacturing techniques. Premiered in 2003 at the Geneva Motor Show, the Bentley Continental GT realised the concept of the 1994 Java concept car as a more affordable Bentley, to be manufactured in larger volumes than hitherto had been the norm.The Continental GT was powered by a 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine producing 552bhp and 479lb/ft of torque. A Torsen-type permanent four-wheel-drive six-speed transmission was standard equipment, and the Continental GT could accelerate from 0-62mph in 4.8 seconds on its way to a top speed of 197.6mph. A mechanically identical Continental GTC Convertible was made available for 2006, followed by another version of the Coupé: the range-topping GT Speed. Before then (in 2005) Bentley had launched the Continental Flying Spur, a four-door saloon variant that took its name from the 1960s original. Currently displaying a total of 58,950 miles on the odometer, this magnificent Bentley Continental Flying Spur is finished in Navy Blue with Cream/Navy Blue leather interior, the latter equipped with a rear entertainment system including headphones. The car has had only two owners from new and comes with its Bentley service book recording full service history (bar one service). Last serviced 2,000 miles ago, the car comes with bills totalling £15,000, two sets of keys, and a V5C document.

1975 Chevrolet El CaminoRegistration no. KKH 990NChassis no. AAPV0241210589869Odometer reading: 6,571MOT: Exempt*Built for the South African market*Right-hand drive*Automatic transmission*Restored in South Africa in the 2000sNowadays an integral part of American popular culture, the pickup truck has come to be thought of as the modern-day equivalent of the cowboy's horse. Once viewed as strictly utilitarian commercial vehicles, they were seized on as ideal candidates for customising and hot-rodding in the post-war era, and today, like so many fashions that start in the USA, enjoy a cult following worldwide. General Motors rationalised its truck production in 1911, introducing the 'GMC' brand name, to which Chevrolet was added during WWI. Chevrolet's El Camino pickup (or coupé utility vehicle) was first introduced in 1959 in response to the success of the Ford Ranchero, which, unusually for a pickup, featured an integral body/chassis rather than the traditional separate frame. In the El Camino's case it was adapted from the Biscayne two-door station wagon platform. This car is an example of the fourth generation, which was based on the station wagon from the Chevelle line-up and was built from 1973 to 1977. It has the 250ci (4.1-litre) six-cylinder engine and automatic transmission. This El Camino was built in right-hand drive configuration for the South African market and was imported from there in January 2019. Restored in South Africa in the early 2000s, the car still presents well, but having been unused since importation will require some re-commissioning before returning to active use. A total of 66,571 kilometres (approximately 41,300 miles) is showing on the odometer. Offered with a V5C document.

1934 Riley TourerRegistration no. RV 4747Chassis no. 6024172Odometer reading: 2,668MOT: Exempt*Re-bodied as a tourer in the 1970s*Restored in the 1990s*Present ownership since 2017*Maintained by Blue Diamond ServicesIntroduced in 1926, Percy Riley's 9hp, 1,087cc twin-camshaft four was an outstanding engine design by any standards, various versions powering Rileys until 1957. Clothed in stylish bodywork by Stanley Riley, the Coventry marque's pre-war offerings were among the world's finest small-capacity sporting cars. Right from the start it was obvious that the 9hp Riley engine possessed enormous potential as a competition unit, and at Brooklands J G Parry-Thomas and Reid Railton were the first to demonstrate just how good it was. The success of their racer led to a production version, the Speed Model, which would turn out to be merely the first in a lengthy series of memorable Riley sports cars. This Riley Nine was restored in the 1990s, having being re-bodied with open tourer coachwork in the early 1970s, and more recently was re-trimmed and fitted with a new hood and side screens. The current vendor purchased the Riley at a UK auction in November 2017, at which time it was reported to be in good all-round condition. During the present ownership the Riley has been serviced by marque specialists Blue Diamond Services, who last checked over the engine in August 2021, while the electrics were rewired in 2018. Finished in cream with black wings and dark blue interior, this very attractive Nine comes with a file containing sundry invoices; some old MoT certificates; a V5C registration document; and Riley Register history. Running and driving, this is sensibly priced entry-level VSCC car that is certain to provide the fortunate next owner with lots of fun.

2003 Volkswagen Golf R32Registration no. OV03 UXEChassis no. WWWZZZ1JZ3D501799Engine no. BFH004739Odometer reading: 120,633MOT: 16/07/2022 *One of the fastest 'hot hatches' of its day*Present ownership since 2005*Full VW service history'Although the MkIV Golf didn't enjoy a great reputation as a sporting drive, look away from the GTi badge and there were some worthy candidates. The V5 models are well worth seeking out and the V6 4MOTION cars make fine high-speed cruisers. If you really want a Golf laden with a ton of attitude however, you owe it to yourself to track down a used Golf R32. It's a Golf like no other.' – RAC Drive magazine. The Mk4 version of Volkswagen's outstandingly successful Golf hatchback was first introduced in August 1997, followed by saloon (Bora) and estate (Variant) versions. New high-performance models included the 3.2-litre V6-engined Golf R32. Introduced in 2002, the R32 featured '4MOTION' four-wheel drive, VW considering its 232bhp maximum to be too much for the front wheels to cope with alone. It certainly put the power down effectively, helping the R32 reach 60mph in around 6.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of 153mphServiced annually, this collectible Golf R32 comes with full main dealer service history with VW Oxford from the beginning of its life. The car came into the present ownership in November 2005 when it was two years old, and all subsequent bills have been kept. The last bill, though not from a main dealer, is dated 28/10/2021 for fitting new VAG front shock absorbers. VW bills on file total some £17,000, and the car also comes with its original wallet, stamped service book (2011-2021), V5C document, and an original can of touch-up paint.

Her husband died in 1996, and his collection of cars remained mostly unused from that point until I was asked to see them with a view to their sale by auction. They were all stored over that time in a purpose-built building that was heated, and dehumidified, which the deceased gentleman had had constructed solely for the purpose of storing his cars. Having been standing for that period of time, they will require careful re-commissioning and safety checks prior to use by a new owner. However, during our inspection and photography of the vehicles we have found that all are rolling, most have operable handbrakes, and some of the clutches are also operable.OW 59 was purchased by the vendor's deceased husband at an indeterminate time prior to 1988. Thereafter the Austin was used on a regular basis most years, for shows and rallies, with various members of the family driving it.It has a full hood plus side screens. As noted above, it will require careful re-commissioning and safety checks prior to use by a new owner.Documentation includes current V5C, a continuation RF60 old log book dating from October 1952, a maintenance history log covering a period from late 1955 to 1964, some expired MoT certificates, and miscellaneous papers.Presently on SORN.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 39/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1972 Aston Martin V8 Series 2 Sports SaloonRegistration no. TYY 529LChassis no. V810565RCAEngine no. V/540/1438Odometer reading: TBCMOT: Exempt *The 65th Series 2 V8 produced*Automatic transmission*In dry storage for 30-plus years*Offered for re-commissioningAlthough always intended to house the new Tadek Marek-designed V8, the DBS first appeared with the 4.0-litre six of the concurrently produced DB6. Styled in-house by Bill Towns, the four-seater DBS employed a platform-type chassis with independent suspension all round: wishbone and coil-spring at the front, De Dion with Watts linkage at the rear. Bigger and more luxuriously appointed than the DB6, the heavier DBS disappointed some by virtue of its slightly reduced performance, but there were no complaints when the V8 arrived in 1969. With an estimated 345bhp available from its 5,340cc, fuel-injected, four-cam motor, the DBS V8 could reach 100mph in under 14 seconds, running on to a top speed of 160mph - a staggering performance in those days and one which fully justified the claim that it was the fastest production car in the world. Even in automatic transmission form the V8 could reach 100mph in around 15 seconds and better 145mph flat-out. In 1972 the acquisition of Aston Martin by Company Developments brought with it a change of name for the V8-engined cars: out went DBS V8, in came AM V8. This new Series 2 was readily distinguishable by its restyled front that now featured two instead of four headlamps and recalled the looks of the earlier DB six-cylinder cars. Electronic ignition and air conditioning were now standard. The 65th Series 2 V8 produced, '10565' was previously registered '2 BLW' (1983) and has been in dry storage for the last 30-plus years (the engine has not been turned over). The car is offered for re-commissioning and sold strictly as viewed.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 42/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1953 Kaiser Manhattan SedanChassis no. 022119Engine no. 1149788Odometer reading: 89,066MOT: Exempt *Offered without reserve*Milestone model*Exceptional styling*Present ownership since 2004Newcomer Kaiser-Frazer stole a march on the Detroit establishment with the launch of an all-new range in August 1946. Styled by gifted designer Howard 'Dutch' Darrin, the '47 Kaisers featured a straight-through fender line linking front and rear wings, a styling device setting them apart from the mainly pre-war designs of the majors, and one that would prove highly influential. Founded by shipbuilding magnate Henry J Kaiser and Graham-Paige executive Joseph Frazer, the fledgling marque prospered briefly, producing a number of novel designs that included saloon-like hatchbacks and four-door convertibles. By 1949, however, sales were in decline, and to remedy matters Darrin was re-hired. The resulting '51 Kaisers were an audacious step forward in automotive styling, featuring a low waistline and generous glass area as aspects of a look that was well ahead of its time. The mildly face-lifted Manhattan was introduced for '52 as a new top-of-the-range model, undergoing a more radical makeover for 1954, a process which, if anything, improved an already state-of-the-art design. The 226.2ci (3.7-litre) six-cylinder sidevalve engine also came in for revision, gaining a McCulloch supercharger that raised maximum power from 115 to 140bhp. Sadly, this was all too late to save Kaiser-Willys, as the company had become, which ended passenger car production the following year. This Kaiser Manhattan was purchased by the vendor from Mirbach Hanse GmbH of Hamburg, Germany in October 2004. An increasingly collectible milestone model in the history of a charismatic yet neglected marque, the car is offered with a bill of sale copy and a Swedish vehicle identity document. This rare and stylish car has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

1987 Audi Quattro CoupéRegistration no. D757 BAVChassis no. WAUZZZ85ZHA024459Engine no. WV035068Odometer reading: 218,000MOT: 21/10/2022 *Iconic four-wheel drive sports model*Stored for 11 years*Recent specialist re-commissioningOne of the most influential designs of recent decades, the Audi Quattro brought four-wheel drive into the motoring mainstream. Introduced in 1980, the Quattro was based on the outwardly similar Coupé's bodyshell, but used a different floor pan to accommodate its four-wheel-drive transmission and independent rear suspension. The engine was a development of the five-cylinder, 2.1-litre unit first seen in the 200 saloon, equipped with a KKK turbocharger and producing 197bhp in road trim, considerably more being available in competition tune. Engine capacity was later raised to 2.2 litres; maximum power stayed at 197bhp but with peak torque lower in the rev range. As a rally car the Quattro excelled, winning the Manufacturers' Championship for Audi in 1982 and 1984 and the Driver's Championship in 1983 and '84, but its enduring legacy would be the demonstration of four-wheel drive's advantages for passenger cars. Retaining its original Ronal alloy wheels, this 2.2-litre Quattro was recently re-commissioned by Quattro Tech Cambridge following 11 years in storage. Systems overhauled included the fuel injection, with a new fuel pump and filter fitted, together with a new ignition system, a new starter motor, and a new battery. Accompanying receipts detail the many new parts fitted. Finished in white with grey cloth interior, the car is has 218,000 miles showing on the odometer and is described by the vendor as in generally very good condition. An all-time classic, the car is offered with a V5C document; MoT to October 2022; and the aforementioned receipts.

GAJ81Odometer reading: tbcMOT: Exempt*Offered without reserve*Shipped to India as a 'Trials' car (demonstrator)*Owned by the Maharajah of Burdwan for some six years*First UK registered in 1988'This model was introduced to meet requests for a smaller, less expensive car in keeping with the trend after the First World War towards smaller cars for a wider market. Construction was simplified - but standards of workmanship were not compromised...' - Edward Eves, Rolls-Royce - 75 Years of Motoring Excellence.Produced alongside the renowned Silver Ghost, the 20hp model was equally as well engineered and became popular as a lighter alternative suitable for a wide range of body styles. The 3.1-litre, six-cylinder monobloc engine featured overhead valves with an in-unit gearbox, single plate clutch, and open prop-shaft with spiral bevel final drive. As company founder Henry Royce said when the car was introduced, 'simplicity was one of the aims of the designers, but not at the expense of perfection'. Intended principally as an 'owner/driver' car, the 'Twenty' sold well during the period following hostilities, being popular as a town car, while many were fitted with touring bodies.Accompanying copy chassis records show that 'GAJ81' was bodied by Hooper & Co as an open tourer and shipped to India in September 1927 for use as a 'Trials' car (demonstrator). Its first private owner (from 7th December 1928) was the Maharajah of Burdwan, who was followed by Mr D L Dhur of Calcutta (from 24th May 1934). It is not known when the Rolls-Royce first returned to the UK, but the accompanying old-style V5 document records the date of first registration as 1st April 1988. The current vendor purchased the car at a UK auction in May 2010 (copy bill of sale on file).

1939 Lanchester Eleven Sports SaloonRegistration no. EHP 130Chassis no. 36369Engine no. 92167Odometer reading: tbcMOT: Exempt*One of only some 2,000 built*Three owners from new*Restored by Coventry University circa 1991Post-WWI Lanchesters were in the main large, well-appointed, high-speed conveyances aimed at the luxury car market. The company's 1930 merger with Daimler (itself part of the BSA conglomerate) brought with it a change of policy, subsequent Lanchesters being smaller and cheaper cars. Introduced in 1932 and the smallest ever Lanchester, the Ten was unique in its class at the time, having both a Daimler fluid flywheel and Wilson pre-selector gearbox, a combination it shared with other Daimler and Lanchester models of the period. The engine was a 1.2-litre (later 1.4-litre) four-cylinder overhead-valve unit producing 34bhp at 4,000rpm, which in its larger form would power the successor, though broadly similar, Lanchester Eleven. The Ten/Eleven had an adequate performance with a top speed of just over 60mph. With their coachbuilt bodies and advanced specification, these small Lanchesters were considerably more expensive than many of their rivals; they sold in correspondingly small numbers, a mere 2,000-or-so Elevens being made before production ceased in 1939. This rare survivor was purchased in 1991 by Coventry University to restore, the project being completed with help from the Museum of British Road Transport. On file is a copy document dated 1991 from the Museum discussing their plans for the car and the work/maintenance to be undertaken. The file also contains a few old MoTs; invoices for tyres; and a V5C Registration Certificate. A three-owners-from-new example, the Lanchester is in lovely condition and drives very well, the pre-selector gearbox working as it should. The car is finished in black with red leather interior, though the front seats are trimmed in vinyl.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 61/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

Audi's A4 line of compact executive cars has been around since 1994 and is currently in its fifth generation. It has always been built on the Volkswagen Audi Group's 'B' platform, the car offered here being an example of the second-generation B6 type, introduced in 2000. In this iteration there were three body styles on offer: four-door saloon; five-door Avant estate; and two-door cabriolet, while the range of power units was extensive to say the least. The cabriolet had been developed in collaboration Karmann and was assembled by the famous German coachbuilder, a firm noted for its expertise in developing soft-tops. It featured an electro-hydraulically operated roof, which lowered in under 30 seconds, and incorporated various styling changes, including body-coloured lower bumper and sill panels, which later found their way onto the saloon. The Audi A4 cabriolet we offer has the normally aspirated 3.0-litre 30-valve V6 engine producing 217bhp, a figure only bettered in the Audi range by the S4's 4.2-litre V8. Finished in Ice Blue with grey leather/suede interior, this rare Audi A4 cabriolet - a manual transmission model - has had only one former keeper and currently displays a total of 98,659 miles on the odometer.

The XK was built to its owner's requirements by Sport & Classic Ltd but due to a change of circumstances is reluctantly offered for sale. 'JSU 415' is finished in Signal Red with contrasting red-piped cream leather upholstery and red carpets, while the interior also features a walnut dashboard and a MotoLita wood-rimmed four-spoke steering wheel. The rebuilt engine has been upgraded with 123 electronic ignition and a modern solid-state fuel pump, while a Tremec five-speed gearbox has replaced the old Moss four-speeder. The suspension and rear axle have been rebuilt; power steering installed; and upgraded Coopercraft brakes fitted; and the XK sits on a set of wider stainless steel wire wheels shod with new radial tyres. The result is a car well equipped to cope with demands of modern motoring, while at the same time affording the occupants the classic Jaguar XK experience. We are advised by the vendor that the car is a joy to drive and attracts favourable attention wherever it goes. Priced at considerably less than the restoration costs, this restored and sensibly upgraded Jaguar XK150 is worthy of the closest inspection.

1939 Lagonda 4½-Litre LG6 SaloonCoachwork by Coachwork by LagondaChassis no. 12521Odometer reading: TBCMOT: Exempt*AACA Historical Preservation Award winner*Formerly part of a private collection in the USA*Present ownership since 2010By the mid-1930s, cars using the proprietary Meadows engine were seen as the way forward for Lagonda. The first of these - the M45, introduced in 1934 - deployed Meadows' 4½-litre, twin-plug 'six' to good effect, saloons being capable of reaching 90mph and tourers the 'ton' under favourable conditions. Under the great W O Bentley's technical direction, the big Lagonda became more refined, gaining synchromesh gears, flexible engine mounts, and centralised chassis lubrication among many other improvements. The ultimate expression of the big, Meadows-engined Lagonda - the LG6 - arrived in 1937. Announced at the same time as the Bentley-designed V12, the LG6 used a similar, diagonally cross-braced chassis featuring independent front suspension by means of unequal length wishbones and torsion bars. Two chassis lengths were made (standard and long, those of the six-cylinder cars being longer than the V12's) and both models came with Lagonda's own coachwork. Regardless of the style of body fitted, the LG6 was good for around 100mph, with lighter types capable of considerably more. The vendor purchased this long-wheelbase Lagonda LG6 from respected dealers Hyman Ltd of St Louis, Missouri in August 2010, at which time it was said to have belonged to a Scottsdale-based collector for many years and be in 'top notch mechanical condition'. Hyman's description also remarked on the Lagonda's marvellous state of preservation and originality, which had enabled it to win an AACA Historical Preservation Award. A rare find in this wonderfully patinated condition, the Lagonda is offered with copies of its Missouri title and the 2010 bill of sale.The Lagonda has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

Moving the game on, Heynes abandoned the C-Type's tubular spaceframe chassis, adopting instead an aluminium monocoque body tub to which the front sub-frame carrying the suspension and the 3.4-litre six-cylinder XK engine was welded. As ever, victory at Le Mans was Jaguar's first priority and so a great deal of attention was paid to getting the aerodynamics right. Aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer duly came up with an efficient, wind-cheating shape that enabled the D-Type to outrun the opposition despite having a deficit of over 100 horsepower on occasions. In so doing he also created one of the most beautiful racing sports cars ever made. As well as building cars for the works team, Jaguar also undertook a limited production run for sale to privateers and between 1954 and 1957 some 87 in total of all variants were produced at Jaguar's Coventry factory.Said to drive amazingly well, this D-Type replica has had two owners and comes with invoices and photographs of its six-year build, which was completed in 2005. The car has been ceramic coated and the carburettors have been balanced recently ready for MoT (now valid until November 2022). Offered with a V5C document.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 75/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1976 Aston Martin V8 Series 3 Sports SaloonRegistration no. SFL 135RChassis no. V8/11575/RCAOdometer reading: 81,971MOT: Exempt*First used as a factory demonstrator*Automatic transmission*Generously specifiedAston Martin's acquisition by Company Developments in 1972 ushered in a name change for the V8-engined cars: out went 'DBS V8', in came 'Aston Martin V8'. This new Series 2 was readily distinguishable by its restyled front, which now featured two instead of four headlamps, recalling the looks of the earlier DB six-cylinder cars. Introduced for 1973, the Series 3 employed a quartet of Weber 42 DCNF carburettors instead of the previous Bosch mechanical fuel injection, the change bringing with it increased torque and a larger bonnet bulge. Fuel economy improved and even in automatic-transmission form the Weber-equipped car proved almost as quick as the preceding manual version, being capable of over 145mph flat-out. Its accompanying copy Car Record Card shows that '11575' was originally finished in Raven Black with fawn trim, and sent to Aston Martin (Sales) Ltd for use as a demonstrator. The original registration was 'PYN 175R'. Being intended for demonstration purposes, '11575' was generously specified, featuring two door mirrors; two rear fog lamps; over-riders; side marker lights; headlamp wash/wipe; lockable centre ashtray; and a Phillips AM/FM radio/cassette stereo system. Its last UK V5C Registration Certificate records Mr Timothy Ludbrook of London as registered keeper (from 18th April 2009). Prior to Mr Ludbrook, the Aston had been owned by AMOC member Timothy Marshall. Additional documentation includes a quantity of MoTs for the period 1988-2008; Tracker paperwork; an old V5 registration document; a handful of bills; and a Classicmobilia (Keith Riddington) sales invoice dated 24th September 2010 when the car was sold to the current owner.The Aston Martin has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

1954 Jaguar XK120 RoadsterRegistration no. RFJ 702Chassis no. 660861Odometer reading: 16,124MOT: Exempt *Offered for re-commissioning*Original right-hand drive example* Good history fileThis car, along with others from the same collection, has been standing for up to 25 years. The vendor's husband died in 1996, and his collection of cars remained mostly unused from that point until I was asked to see them with a view to their sale by auction. They were all stored over that time in a purpose-built building that was heated, and dehumidified, which the deceased gentleman had had constructed solely for the purpose of storing his cars. Having been standing for that period of time, they will require careful re-commissioning and safety checks prior to use by a new owner. However, during our inspection and photography of the vehicles we have found that all are rolling, most have operable handbrakes, and some of the clutches are also operable.RFJ 702 is believed to have been purchased by the vendor's deceased husband in early 1990. After acquisition, he gave the car to a Jaguar specialist for a service and attention to several aspects. They repositioned the exhaust system, replaced windscreen pillars and hood toggles, made the hood fit, made and fitted side screens, and attended to a number of other items, as listed in their invoice in the history file (inspection recommended). A journal was started for the car in 1992, but only two entries were made. The car has a hood, and side screens.The deceased owner did not use the XK as much as other cars in his collection, although he attempted to use all his cars at least once a month. However, since he passed away, the vehicle has remained unused and, as noted above, will require careful re-commissioning and safety checks prior to use by a new owner.It should be noted that the engine number is recorded as W27997 on the V5C and on the chassis plate, but has not yet been verified on the engine itself. The number on the cylinder head is A8746-7.Documentation includes a current V5C, the aforementioned invoice, and miscellaneous papers.Presently on SORN.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 44/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1951 Land Rover Series I 4x4 UtilityRegistration no. SFF 429Chassis no. 16102684Odometer reading: tbcMOT: Exempt*Present ownership since 1996*Restored to driveable condition in the late 1990s*Used sparingly for local runs in summertime*In dry storage since 2013Inspired by the US Army's wartime 'Jeep', developed in haste and intended for short-term, small-scale production, the Land Rover would defy its creators' initial scepticism. Rover bosses the Wilks brothers saw the need for a tough, four-wheel-drive, utility vehicle to serve the needs of the agricultural community in the immediate post-war years, but the Land Rover's runaway success took the company by surprise. The necessity of using corrosion resistant aluminium panels at a time of severe steel shortage turned into a positive virtue in the Land Rover's sphere of operations, and the use of existing components - including the P3 saloon's 1,595cc, four-cylinder, sidevalve engine - kept production costs down and cut development time. Ruggedly built and simple in construction, the Land Rover proved capable of surviving in countries where conditions were primitive to say the least, a virtue that helped contribute to its worldwide acceptance. Indeed, it is estimated that two-thirds of all Land Rovers ever produced are still in existence today. Progressively developed since its launch in 1948 and modified to serve countless specialist requirements, the ubiquitous Land Rover had been around for a staggering 68 years by the time Defender production ceased in 2016. The vendor purchased this Series I in 1996 and had it restored to driveable condition. Kept garaged, the vehicle was used sparingly for local runs in summertime and has been in dry storage since 2013. Re-commissioning will be required before further use.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 22/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1952 Willys Jeep Model C M38 Military 4x4Chassis no. 36117446Odometer reading: tbcMOT: Exempt*Iconic military vehicle*An older restoration*Imported into the UK earlier this yearBuilt by both Willys and Ford, and produced by the million, the ubiquitous Jeep 4x4 saw service in every theatre of the Second World War and continued in military service with Armies worldwide for several decades thereafter. Despite the success of the original (MB) version, the US Army believed that there was scope for improvement and Willys responded with the revised Model C. Designated M38 by the US military, the Model C entered service in 1950 featuring the longer (and stronger) chassis frame of Willys' commercial CJ-3A model. This increase in size (and weight) exposed the original 60-62bhp Go-Devil engine as insufficiently powerful, leading to its replacement with the 72 horsepower Hurricane unit in 1952. Apart from an increase in bonnet height to accommodate the taller Hurricane engine, the M38A1 looked essentially the same as its wartime ancestor. By the time production ceased in 1957, some 160,000 examples of the Willys M38/M38A1 had been built. Today the Jeep in its various forms remains highly sought after by discerning military vehicle enthusiasts everywhere. This Willys M38 has been used by the enthusiast vendor on his farm in the Lebanon. An older restoration finished in US Army grey, it has the correct windscreen and has been fitted with additional side steps to facilitate easier ingress/egress. The vehicle was imported into the UK earlier this year (taxes have been paid) and is running and driving well.

1976 Triumph SpitfireRegistration no. ONR 917RChassis no.

With lighter evenings and fairer weather awaiting us in 2022 this highly appealing example has much appeal, particularly as the bodywork and trim are in very good order, as is the glass. The interior too presents very well – more fastidious enthusiasts will be pleased to know this car's seats; door cards and carpets will not require replacing in the near future. Spitfires are well regarded for their mechanicals which while relatively simple are rugged and easy to work on. Our vendor says this car is cosmetically strong, as ever with classic motorcars there is some room to perk things up, the car has been in long term storage since 2013. This Spitfire had a new engine fitted in 2013, around the time the car was last used. There is some history. In all potentially immense fun but affordable too, which firmly underline's the Spitfire's appeal.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 58/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1964 Imperial Crown SedanRegistration no. Not UK RegisteredChassis no. 9243148116Engine no. TBCOdometer reading: 76,522MOT: Exempt *Collectible American luxury sedan*413.2ci (6.8-litre) 340bhp V8 engine*Automatic transmissionOriginally an up-market Chrysler, Imperial was registered as a marque in its own right in 1954, a move which enabled the corporation to develop a separate identity for the cars. The Imperial Crown was Chrysler's top-of-the-range and most exclusive model. A direct competitor to Cadillac, it was manufactured in relatively limited numbers. In the immediate post-war years though, the conservatively styled Imperials looked little different from mainstream Chryslers. The latter were virtually identical to those of 1942, and not until 1949 did a new look appear, based on that of the Chrysler New Yorker. The Imperial Crown offered here dates from 1964, by which time the range had undergone several makeovers and countless improvements to its specification. Newly restyled for '64 by Chrysler's head stylist Elwood Engel, lately recruited from Ford, the Crown was made in three different body styles: two- and four-door hardtop six-seaters and a two-door six-seater convertible, all powered by a 413.2ci (6.8-litre) V8 engine producing 340bhp. Priced at $5,581, the four-door sedan was by far the most popular, accounting for slightly more than two thirds of the 20,000-or-so cars produced that year. The Imperial Crown four-door sedan offered here was purchased by the vendor from Gesswein Motors of Milbank, South Dakota in October 2010. A copy of the bill of sale is on file and the car also comes with a South Dakota Certificate of Title. This Imperial has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

1974 Wolseley Six LimousineCoachwork by Coachwork by Woodall & NicholsonRegistration no. not registeredChassis no. WHS367653Odometer reading: TBCMOT: N/A*Unusual non-factory bodywork*Automatic transmission*Purchased in the USA in 2015'Badge engineering' formed a major element of BMC's marketing strategy in the 1960s, with models of different marques barely distinguishable from one another, and this policy continued into the 1970s under British Leyland. Introduced in 1972, the Wolseley Six was mechanically identical to the simultaneously launched Austin/Morris 2200, using the same 2,227cc overhead-camshaft E6 engine and Hydrolastic independent suspension. Outwardly and internally, the three were virtually identical to the equivalent 1800 MkIII models from which they were derived, the Wolseley version, as usual, offering a better-equipped and appointed interior. The factory never offered a limousine version of any of the 2200 models, and this limousine-with-division Wolseley Six is the work of specialist vehicle manufacturers Woodall & Nicholson of Halifax. The car spent most of its life in private ownership in the UK before being shipped to the USA. The previous owner, a resident of Arizona, sold the car via a US auction in 2014 to MotoeXotica of Fenton, Missouri, from whom it was purchased by the current vendor in June 2015. At that time the Wolseley was said to have undergone a 'rotisserie' restoration, including the installation of a Kenwood Excelon Bluetooth stereo system. Accompanying documentation consists of the 2014 sales paperwork, the 2015 bill of sale, and an Arizona Certificate of Title. It should be noted that this car carries a non-factory VIN plate, issued by the Bureau of Automotive Repair, which erroneously gives the year of manufacture as 1967.

1964 Humber Super Snipe Series IV SaloonRegistration no. EYY 888BChassis no. B8204486 BW HLOOdometer reading: TBCMOT: Exempt*Believed retailed by Arthur Mulliner*Formerly owned by Lord Harris*Present ownership since 2004A large luxury saloon, the Humber Super Snipe first appeared in the late 1930s, finding a ready market within the ranks of Civil Service officialdom and the middle class professions, and continued in mildly face-lifted form post-WW2. A more radical re-style marked the arrival of the MkII in 1948, but the first major mechanical revision came in 1952 when a new chassis was introduced and the long-running sidevalve six replaced by a Commer overhead-valve unit. Re-styled at the same time, this new Super Snipe progressed through Marks IV, IVA and IVB before being superseded by the unitary construction Series I in 1958. The Series I Super Snipe's new bodyshell was shared with the contemporary four-cylinder Hawk, but the former's engine was an all-new 2.65-litre six-cylinder unit. Improvements to the Super Snipe appeared almost annually, a 2.96-litre engine and front-wheel disc brakes arriving in 1959 (Series II); a four-headlamp front end in 1960 (Series III); and a slightly more powerful engine in September 1962 (Series IV). Production of these large and luxurious Humbers finally ceased in 1967, the Super Snipe Series VA being the last of this popular line. Believed sold new via Arthur Mulliner, this automatic-transmission Series IV was purchased by the current vendor in June 2004 from well-respected dealers Hurst Park Automobiles (Kevin and Trevor Wooding), its immediately preceding owner being Lord Harris. The purchase invoice is on file and the car also comes with sundry bills; five MoTs (most recent expired 2005); and an old-style V5C Registration Certificate.The Humber has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

1973 Jaguar XJ12 SaloonRegistration no. RYD 999LChassis no. 2C1484BWOdometer reading: 39,630MOT: 29/03/2022*Jaguar's flagship luxury saloon*39,630 miles recorded*Much recent workLaunched to much acclaim in 1968, the XJ6 refined concepts embodied by previous Jaguar saloons to create a car rivalling the best offered by Mercedes-Benz. Although introduced with XK six-cylinder power, it had always been Jaguar's intention that its flagship saloon would accommodate the E-Type's new all-alloy V12 engine, and the resulting XJ12 duly appeared in July 1972. With a top speed of over 135mph courtesy of the 5.3-litre V12's 272bhp, the newcomer combined high performance with a level of luxury unmatched by many a less-accommodating Grand Tourer costing several times as much. An improved rear legroom version was introduced in August 1972. Finished in Glacier White, the car presents well having been in the hands of only three recorded owners from new, and with these cars a short ownership history is always reassuring. The interior retained the original blue leather and is in very pleasing order. Works carried out in 2015 included renewing the suspension and brake pads. More recently the car has benefited from a tune up and service. It comes with numerous MoTs dating from the 1980s and 1990s; a few receipts; some DVLA correspondence; and a current MoT valid until March 2022. The mileage is recorded at 39,630. The XJ12 brought even greater refinement to a startlingly brilliant model and still impresses after nearly half a century with its magic carpet quality.

1969 MGB RoadsterRegistration no. GPP 488GChassis no. 164437CEngine no. 18GB-U-H-9259Odometer reading: TBCMOT: Exempt*Restored condition*Rebuilt engine*Requires re-commissioningOutstandingly successful despite, or perhaps because of, its relative simplicity, the perennially popular MGB remained in production for 18 years while rivals came and went. Attractively styled, cheap to run and easily maintained by the home mechanic, the 'B' carried on MG's traditional role of providing affordable, sports car motoring for the ordinary enthusiast.Conceived in the late 1950s and launched in 1962, the MGB was mechanically similar to the preceding MGA, though with unitary construction bodyshell instead of its forebear's separate chassis. To compensate for the newcomer's increased weight, the existing four-cylinder B-Series engine was stretched to 1,798cc, while the MGB's aerodynamically efficient lines made the most of the 95bhp available to achieve a top speed which just bested the magic 'ton'. A 'right first time' design that changed little over the years, the MGB had enjoyed sales totalling in excess of 500,000 cars by the time production ceased in 1980. Its popularity undiminished today, the classic MGB is one of the easiest sports cars of its era to run and maintain in the 21st Century, being served by a worldwide industry of spare parts and services providers. Finished in red with red-piped black interior, this MGB Roadster is described by the private vendor as in very good restored condition. The engine has been rebuilt and the engine bay is very tidy, while the car is reported as running and driving well. Unused for some time, it will require re-commissioning and the customary safety checks before returning to the road.

1923 Crossley 19.6hp Two-seater-plus-DickeyRegistration no. SV 9311Chassis no. 16712Odometer reading: tbcMOT: Exempt*One of only two of its type in the UK*Imported from Australia in 1990*Restored in the 1990s*Present ownership since 2012*Winner of the VSCC's Pomeroy Edwardian Trophy (for non-FWB cars)This Crossley's lightweight chassis carries a two-seat-plus-dickey sports body, the latter very rare as most were four-seater types. The Crossley was re-imported from Australia in 1990 and restored; first registered here in 2002, it is one of only two of its type in this country. The restoration was carried out by Nigel Parrot (N P Veteran Engineering). Engine work (including an increase in compression ratio) cost £5,793, while a new crown wheel/pinion and bearings cost a further £1,200. Other works carried out include rebuilding the radiator and fitting a new Autovac, interior upholstery, hood, tonneau cover, and clutch lining, the latter in 2014. An alternator has been fitted but the original Rotax dynamo (in working order) comes with the car. In the present ownership since 2012, the Crossley was driven to Nice in the South of France for a holiday in 2017 without any problems, winning overall the Concours d'Élégance at St Brieuc while there. It has also competed in the VSCC's Goodwood Sprint and is a winner of the prestigious Pomeroy Edwardian Trophy for non-FWB cars. We are advised by the private vendor that the car is in generally very good condition, the engine displaying excellent oil pressure (15psi hot or cold). Sold only because the owner is downsizing his collection, this delightful and rare early Vintage sports car comes with a good file of history containing sundry restoration bills, copies of marque-related literature, all MoTs up to 2014, etc. Stored in recent years, the car will require re-commissioning before further use.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 58/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

Formerly owned by Lord Beaverbrook1938 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Sports LimousineCoachwork by Park WardRegistration no. UKE 886BChassis no. 3DL38Odometer reading: tbcMOT: Exempt*Landmark Rolls-Royce model*One of some 300 survivors*Present ownership since 2008Perhaps the most outstanding luxury car of the 1930s - certainly on this side of the Channel - was Rolls-Royce's Phantom III. Introduced in 1936, the 7,340cc V12-engined Phantom III succeeded the six-cylinder Phantom II. A state-of-the-art design, the V12 engine initially produced 165bhp, which was raised subsequently to 180bhp, sufficient to propel later examples to 100mph, earlier models being capable of around 90. Its engine configuration aside, the Phantom III represents an important milestone in the history of Rolls-Royce cars, being the first with independent front suspension. A total of 710 had been manufactured when WW2 halted production, of which around 300 exist today.Sold on 10th May 1938 to Jack Barclay Ltd of Hanover Square, London W1, chassis number '3DL38' wears 'sports limousine' (saloon-with-division) coachwork by Park Ward Ltd in the then fashionable 'semi razor edge' style. The current owner purchased the Rolls-Royce at Bonhams' Harrogate sale in November 2008 (Lot 650) when it was described as follows: 'The accompanying copy order form records the first owner as one William Murray, while the chassis card lists one G Dawson, Esq of Cheltenham as owner from 26th August 1946. Other more noteworthy owners listed include Fleet Street press baron, Lord Beaverbrook (in 1949) and Manchester-based architect, Joseph Sunlight (from October 1950). Stafford Training Services is listed as owner from 31st March 1982 on the accompanying old-type Swansea V5 document, the previous having been one Albert John Wilkins of Basted, Kent.' Accompanying documentation now consists solely of the aforementioned old V5. The Phantom III has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

1997 Land Rover Defender 90 200Tdi CountyRegistration no. R669 KFBChassis no. SALLDVA67VA126804Engine no. 23L23411AOdometer reading: 115,985MOT: 21/07/2022 *Present ownership since 2009*Used sparingly in recent years*Always well maintained and serviced*115,985 miles recordedFollowing the successful reception of the all-new Land Rover Discovery model in 1989, it was decided to give the traditional Land Rover its own name: Defender. Making this more than merely a re-branding exercise was the introduction on the Defender of a new turbo diesel engine that brought with it useful increases in maximum power, torque, and fuel economy when compared with the old normally aspirated diesel it was based on. Now boasting bold 'Defender' logos, the Land Rover continued its seemingly inexorable process of development, gaining disc brakes and power assisted steering as standard during the 1990s together with a host of other improvements. Despite, or perhaps because of, being recognisable related to the very first Land Rover of 1948, the Defender retained a steadfastly loyal customer base; indeed, in the UK in 2013 it even managed to out-sell the Range Rover. The aforementioned improvements would continue to be made regularly until production of the traditional Land Rover Defender ceased in January 2016. The vendor purchased this well specified County model from a friend in 2009, since when it has been kept garaged, covering circa 1,000 miles annually in recent years. Used as a local runabout and as a 'gun bus' on the vendor's estate, the Defender has an odometer reading of 115,985 miles and has always been well maintained and serviced. Well presented, the vehicle is offered with an old-style logbook, sundry bills, a V5C registration document and current MoT.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 62/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1970 Aston Martin DB6 Mk2 Vantage 'Fuel Injection' Sports SaloonRegistration no. WOB 200J (See Text)Chassis no. DB6MK2FI/4161/REngine no. 400/4445/FIOdometer reading: 90,843MOT: Exempt *One of only 46 fuel-injected examples made*Extensively upgraded in 2007*Present ownership since 2009Distinguishable by its flared wheelarches and DBS wheels, the DB6 Mark 2 came with power-assisted steering as standard and could be ordered with AE Brico electronic fuel injection. When DB6 Mark 2 production ceased in 1970, a total of 245 had been made, of which only 46 left the factory fitted with the optional fuel injection like this example. Originally an automatic transmission model, '4161/R' was built for the UK market and despatched from the factory on 14th October 1970 to Aston Distributors. Its original colour scheme was Verde Acqua with pigskin interior trim. The current owner purchased the DB6 18th November 2009 from Aston Workshop, which a couple of years earlier had carried out extensive upgrades for the car's then owner, Mr Neal Mercer of Buckinghamshire. Works carried out include enlarging the engine to 4.2 litres capacity and rebuilding it with up-rated camshafts and a special high-performance crankshaft and con-rods, while the cylinder head was ported, gas-flowed and fitted with larger valves at the same time. In addition, the car was fitted with an up-rated water pump and up-rated starter motor, while the cooling system was improved by installing an aluminium radiator. Other aspects receiving attention included the dashboard (lighting upgraded); headlining (renewed); seat belts (added in rear); and the engine bay (tidied up). One of the rarer of the David Brown-era Aston Martins, this DB6 Mark 2 FI is offered with Aston Workshop's bill for £45,289; a (part) V5C document (subject to re-application as the motor car was exported); and a copy of the 2009 sales invoice.This rare and desirable MK2 has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

1934 Riley Lynx Saloon ProjectRegistration no. BPG 267Chassis no. 6025714Odometer reading: N/AMOT: Exempt *Purchased by the current vendor in 2014*Partially restored*New ash frame and body panels*Offered for completionIntroduced in 1926, Percy Riley's 9hp, 1,087cc twin-camshaft four was an outstanding engine design by any standards, various versions powering Rileys until 1957. Clothed in stylish bodywork by Stanley Riley, the Coventry marque's pre-war offerings were among the world's finest small-capacity sporting cars. Right from the start it was obvious that the 9hp Riley engine possessed enormous potential as a competition unit, and at Brooklands J G Parry-Thomas and Reid Railton were the first to demonstrate just how good it was. The success of their racer led to a production version, the Speed Model, which would turn out to be merely the first in a lengthy series of memorable Riley sports cars. A significant year in the Nine's development, 1929 saw the introduction of the Mark IV chassis featuring wider front/rear track and much larger brakes than hitherto, advances that were carried over into the early 1930s. This 1934 Riley Nine was purchased by the current vendor in 2014 and is offered in partially restored condition for the successful purchaser to complete. The ash frame and all body panels are new; the wings, bonnet, and leather interior are original; and the engine has been stripped ready for rebuilding. Additionally, the magneto has been restored by Karl Kenny, and the car comes with a brand new wiring loom supplied by renowned marque specialists, Blue Diamond Riley Services.

2010 Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography 4x4 EstateRegistration no. BK10 RWWChassis no. SALLMAME3AA322468Odometer reading: 128,711MOT: 18/07/2022 *5.0-litre supercharged V8 petrol engine*Automatic transmission*129,500 miles recorded*Two previous keepersAn outstanding landmark design that almost single-handedly created the booming market in dual-purpose 4x4s, the Range Rover was greeted with universal acclaim on its arrival in 1970. Offering comfortable cruising at 90mph and a greater off-road capability than most of its customers would ever need, it has remained the class leader, despite ever-increasing foreign and domestic competition, ever since. The fact that the original lasted in production for an amazing 24 years before being replaced in 1994 only serves to illustrate the soundness of the original concept. Indeed, the 'old' Range Rover - renamed Range Rover Classic - did not disappear immediately but continued to be built for another year alongside the new P38A version. Offered here is a tidy example of the third generation Range Rover, introduced in 2001. A lavishly equipped top-of-the-range Autobiography model, it is powered by the 5.0-litre supercharged V8 petrol engine producing 502.8bhp. Other noteworthy features include 21' alloy wheels; LED headlights; perforated semi-aniline heated/cooled seats; and the Autobiography model's exclusive exterior design pack of embellishments. Finished in black with cream leather interior, the car has 129,500 miles showing on the odometer and is described by the vendor as in generally good condition. The accompanying V5C states that the Range Rover has had two previous keepers, and the car also comes with an owner's handbook; two keys; some old MoTs; and bills totalling circa £10,000.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 76/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

In 2002 the SL55 AMG went on sale. Hailed by Evo magazine as 'a supercar in disguise', the latter was powered by a 5.4-litre V8 engine producing 469bhp and a monstrous 520lb/ft of torque. And if that was not enough, the seriously speed-addicted could opt for the F1 version, which came with AMG's Performance Package developed for the 2002 Formula 1 Safety Car. Costing an additional £10,000, AMG's upgrades included 'relaxing' the electronic speed restriction, enabling the car to reach 300km/h (186mph), plus changes to the suspension and brakes. There was also an extra oil cooler, a limited-slip differential, and various changes to the exterior and interior styling. For the SL55 AMG a more robust five-speed automatic transmission was specified, the standard car's seven-speeder being considered not man enough for the job. Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson was an enthusiastic SL55 AMG 'early adopter'. Supplied new to the UK, this elegant SL55 AMG is an example of the limited edition F1 model. The car is finished in silver with black leather interior and has had four owners from new. Exceptionally well maintained and MoT'd to July 2022, it benefits from over £2,000 spent on new brake discs/pads plus a full service (including supercharger) 1,000 miles ago. Offering supercar performance at relatively affordable cost, this rare and collectible modern Mercedes comes with an extensive history file containing bills, MoTs and a V5C document.

1954 Austin-Healey 100 RoadsterRegistration no. Not UK RegisteredChassis no. BN1L/157601Odometer reading: 2,145MOT: Exempt *Triumph TR4 engine and gearbox*An older restoration*Imported into the UK earlier this yearDonald Healey's stylish Austin-Healey 100 caused a sensation when it debuted at the 1952 London Motor Show. Intended as a low-cost high-performance sports car and aimed at the US market, which took almost 100% of production initially, the Austin-Healey 100 sourced its major components from the Austin Atlantic saloon. Low-revving and torquey, the latter's 2,660cc four-cylinder engine produced an unremarkable 90bhp but when installed in the lighter and more streamlined Healey the result was a genuine 100mph-plus car capable of reaching 60mph in under 11 seconds. A three-speed gearbox equipped with overdrive on the top two ratios was an unusual feature of the original BN1, which was superseded by the short-lived, conventional four-speed BN2 for 1956. In 1953 a team of drivers including Donald Healey and George Eyston set a host of international and AMA speed records at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats driving two Healey 100s. Highlights including a maximum speed of 143.626mph and 1,000 kilometres at an average of 127.00mph achieved by the tuned car and 24 hours at an average of 104.3mph set by the AMA-selected 'off-the-showroom-floor' example. A muscular sports car to delight the purist, the 100 was not bettered by its six-cylinder successors in terms of outright performance until the introduction of the Austin-Healey 3000 in 1959. The vendor purchased this Austin-Healey 100 from a friend in the Lebanon. An older restoration, the Healey has at some time been fitted with a 2.1-litre Triumph TR4 engine and gearbox. The car was imported into the UK earlier this year and is running and driving well, how ever the gearbox is noisy.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 62/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1954 Lagonda 3-Litre Three-position Drophead CoupéCoachwork by Coachwork by TickfordRegistration no. not registeredChassis no. LB/290/1/96Odometer reading: TBCMOT: N/A*One of an estimated 44 Mark 1 drophead coupés produced*Only eight owners from new*Floor-mounted manual gearshiftDavid Brown's take-over of Lagonda in 1947 allowed production of their W O Bentley-designed all-new model to commence the following year, while making Lagonda's 2.6-litre twin-cam 'six' available for the new Aston Martins. An advanced design employing a cruciform-braced chassis with independent front suspension and inboard rear brakes, the Lagonda was available as a saloon or drophead coupé, both coachbuilt. The interior with its leather upholstery, plentiful walnut veneer and quality fittings stood comparison with that of the very best in the luxury car class. Expensive to produce and necessarily exclusive, the luxurious Lagondas did not sell as well as expected, though high-profile owners included HRH The Duke of Edinburgh (who had two dropheads) and actor Peter Ustinov (just the one). One of an estimated 44 'Mark 1' dropheads built, this 3-Litre example was retailed by Brooklands of Bond Street and delivered in December 1954 finished in Circassian Blue with matching interior and grey convertible hood. The AMOC Register (2000) records the Lagonda as belonging to one M Tait and registered 'RYH 370' (previously 'PXE 6'). The current owner purchased the car at a UK auction in October 2010, at which time its engine was described as rebuilt recently in Belgium by specialists LMB of Wommelgem. Notable features include grey Connolly leather trim; polished walnut dashboard and door trim, heater; radio; (rare) floor-mounted gearchange; and built-in hydraulic jacks. At the time of the last sale in 2010 the Lagonda was said to have had only seven owners from new and to have recently undergone complete re-commissioning to bring it to working order. This charming Lagonda has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

1965 Jaguar S-Type SaloonRegistration no. FTG 630CChassis no. 1B3598DN Engine no. 7B2774-8 (see text)Odometer reading: TBCMOT: Exempt *Manual overdrive gearbox example*Previous multiple concours winner*Detailed history fileThis car, along with others from the same collection, has been standing for up to 25 years. The vendor's husband died in 1996, and his collection of cars remained mostly unused from that point until I was asked to see them with a view to their sale by auction. They were all stored over that time in a purpose-built building that was heated, and dehumidified, which the deceased gentleman had had constructed solely for the purpose of storing his cars. Having been standing for that period of time, they will require careful re-commissioning and safety checks prior to use by a new owner. However, during our inspection and photography of the vehicles we have found that all are rolling, most have operable handbrakes, and some of the clutches are also operable.FTG 630C was purchased by the vendor's deceased husband in October 1989. It was purchased from Steve Jones of Penarth, who had owned the car since 1978. It was in daily use until 1981 when he decided to restore it. Taking until 1987, the restoration was exhaustive, and his handwritten account remains in the history file, detailing the fact that the bodywork was lead-loaded and repainted, engine, suspension and ancillary equipment were all rebuilt. After the rebuild, the car won 1st in class at Beaulieu National Motor Museum and, in the 2 years until it was sold, won a total of 14 concours awards, a list of which is in the history file.The deceased owner used the S-type for local shows and rallies, and used it as often as he could, to enable as much regular running as possible; indeed, he attempted to use all his cars at least once a month. However, since he passed away, the vehicle has remained unused and, as noted above, will require careful re-commissioning and safety checks prior to use by a new owner.It should be noted that the engine number is incorrectly recorded as 7B4187-S on the V5C, whereas the actual number is 7B2774-8.Documentation includes a current V5C, a photocopy old-type V5, the aforementioned notes on restoration and list of awards, copy newspaper clippings, some photographs, and miscellaneous papers.Presently on SORN.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 46/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1979 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade 4x4 UtilityRegistration no. ENM 749TChassis no. J9G93EA044617Engine no. 210A16Odometer reading: 267MOT: Exempt *Imported from the USA*Right-hand drive*4.2-litre six-cylinder petrol engine*Restored in 2021Produced by the million, the original Jeep saw service in every theatre of the Second World War and continued in military service for several decades thereafter. Marketed as the ideal work vehicle for farmers, construction workers and other trades, the first civilian Jeep - the CJ-2A - was introduced by Willys in 1945 boasting a host of refinements that its military counterpart lacked. The succeeding CJ-3B version was distinguished by a four-cylinder 'F-head' engine, replacing the original flathead four, and then in 1954 came what many regard as the definitive civilian Jeep, the CJ-5. Longer and wider than its predecessors, the 'round-fender' CJ-5 was based on the Korean War M-38A1. Under new owners Kaiser, and from 1970 American Motors Corporation, the CJ-5 would remain in production for a remarkable 30 years and in 1976 was joined by the CJ-7, which was built on a longer wheelbase and featured an redesigned and improved chassis. By this time Jeeps were being built with AMC's own engines, and the example offered here has the 258ci (4.2-litre) six-cylinder unit installed. The CJ-7 lasted in production until 1986, by which time a little under 380,000 had been built. Imported from the USA, this customised Jeep CJ-7 retains its original chassis, body and engine, and is right-hand drive. It benefits from a complete restoration, finished in April 2021, which included zinc phosphate treatment to the chassis and a full engine rebuild. Only 267 miles have been covered since the restoration's completion.

Improvements to the running gear included revised suspension, lowered ride height, and 17' (up from 16') wheels shod with wider tyres.This desirable limited edition 968 Club Sport was supplied new by Porsche Cars, Reading and comes with a record of services and modifications for the period December 1997 (when the car was classified as 'Cat C, repaired' following an accident) to March 2011. In 2003 the Porsche was track prepared by Tech 9 and fitted with a roll cage, brake ducts, and M030 suspension as part of a series of upgrades. Renowned marque specialists Ninemeister carried out further performance-orientated modifications in 2007, including fitting a supercharger and a Quaife limited-slip differential. The interior was stripped out at the same time. Later that same year Ninemeister fitted a Big Red front brake conversion, new rear discs, and KW suspension all round. Ninemeister continued to service the 968, including rebuilding the cylinder head in September 2009.Bills on file total some £15,000 and the car also comes with a dynamometer printout showing a maximum power reading of 387bhp at 7,133rpm. Road legal and a real track-day weapon, this much modified Porsche 968 Club Sport is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate.Please note the V5C will follow post salePlease note that this car is not an original Club Sport but features many Club Sport parts.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 60/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1951 Nash Ambassador Custom SedanRegistration no. Not UK RegisteredChassis no. R634066Engine no. 130068Odometer reading: 89,066MOT: Exempt *Iconic example of American automotive styling*Formerly part of the Peter Black Collection in the UK*Automatic transmissionOne of the USA's most innovative auto-makers during the early post-WW2 years, Nash was the first major manufacturer to embrace unitary chassis/body construction (actually introduced in 1941) and the first to offer a truly compact model: the Rambler. Nash introduced its first new line-up of the post-war era – the fastback styled Airflyte series – in 1949. Airflyte styling innovations included a one-piece curved windshield, 'Uniscope' instrument cluster, and fully reclining front seat backs, but the biggest talking point was the enclosed front and rear wheel wells, a distinctive feature that would remain a Nash trademark for many years. Controversial it might have been, but this unusual device enabled the Nash to achieve lowered aerodynamic drag and commensurately reduced fuel consumption, making it an ideal long-haul car, while the reclining front seats enabled it to sleep two adults with a degree of comfort. Nash had first introduced the top-of-the-range Ambassador in 1946 and this model duly received the Airflyte makeover in 1949. As befitted its range-topping status, the Ambassador came with Nash's biggest and most powerful engine, a 234.8ci (3.8-litre) overhead-valve six producing 115bhp, while the example offered here also has the three-speed GM Hydramatic automatic transmission. Formerly part of the Peter Black Collection in the UK (since the 1990s), having been imported from Minnesota, this Ambassador was purchased by the current owner at a French auction in February 2007. The car is offered with a copy of the purchase invoice and an original Nash Ambassador Owner's Manual. This interesting and rarely seen motor car in the UK has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

1990 Ford Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth Sports SaloonRegistration no. G568 YJNChassis no. WF0FXXGBBFJY04452Engine no. JY04452Odometer reading: 89,066MOT: 03/11/2022 *Iconic sporting Ford*Highly sought after*Circa 120,000 miles from new*Desirable 2WD varientThe sight of rival manufacturers reaping the rewards of successful circuit racing programmes prompted Ford to renew its alliance with engine builder Cosworth to create the eponymous Sierra. Assembly of the minimum 5,000 required for Group A homologation commenced in June 1986 at the company's Genk plant in Belgium. Based on the three-door Sierra bodyshell, the RS Cosworth combined the standard 1,993cc Pinto engine's cylinder block with a forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods, the first time this combination had been seen in a production Ford engine. Topping it off was a Cosworth-developed, twin-camshaft, 16-valve cylinder head fed by a Garrett AiResearch turbocharger, the latter being deemed necessary to achieve a competitive power output for racing, which in time would amount to over 500bhp! Even in standard road trim the Sierra RS Cosworth produced a staggering 204bhp, its Weber-Marelli engine management system ensuring that the resulting stupendous performance was delivered with minimal turbo lag. Needless to say, the standard Sierra underpinnings were comprehensively up-rated to cope. In 1987 the hatchback version ceased production and was replaced by the more refined Sapphire RS Cosworth four-door saloon, which was built for the years 1988 and 1989, some 13,000 being completed. This Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth comes with its service book stamped up to 2003 at 63,000 miles (current odometer reading 120,000 miles). The car drives well and recently passed its MoT (expires November 2022) with no advisories.

The chassis too had seen considerable change: four-wheel brakes being standardised in 1924 and hydraulic shock-absorbers in 1928 when the adoption of under-slung rear springs and an increased wheelbase enabled longer, lower-slung body lines to be achieved. For the next couple of years changes to the V8 line, annual facelifts excepted, were relatively few, though the introduction of synchromesh gears in 1929 was one notable technological advance and engine displacement increased to 353ci (5.8 litres) the following year. Commencing in 2005, this Town Sedan was extensively restored over five years with no expense spared, being re-sprayed in dark maroon from the original green in the process. Works included re-plating all brightwork (cost £6,000); refurbishing the interior (new seats, carpets, etc); rebuilding the engine with new pistons, etc; and fitting six new whitewall tyres and a new exhaust. Presented in impressive condition, the car has been recently serviced: with oils being changed, joints greased, etc in June 2021, while a new 6-volt battery was fitted in February 2021. The car comes complete with its original tools including the jack, starting handle and wheel removal tool, plus a bespoke indoor cover. Sadly, the owner's advancing years mean that the Cadillac is now too big for him to handle and thus is reluctantly offered for sale. £35,000 – 45,000Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 90/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1934 Lagonda M45 ST34 'Silent Travel' Pillar-less SaloonRegistration no. RV 4443Chassis no. Z10695Engine no. M45/121Odometer reading: TBCMOT: Exempt *Restored by Geoffrey Seaton*Present ownership since 1991*Unused since 2015*Requires re-commissioning'RV 4443' is illustrated in Lagonda – An Illustrated History 1900-1950 by Geoffrey Seaton, who had purchased it in 1982. Seaton acquired 'RV 4443' in need of restoration, which he completed with his characteristic attention to detail (see photographic record on file). The vendor advises that during Seaton's ownership the Lagonda was placed first in every concours he entered, and was 'an inspirational example of how a car should be restored'. In 1989 Seaton sold the car to Barry Banham of Hertfordshire, whose ownership appears short-lived, as the present owner purchased it from George Dodds on 21st January 1991 (receipt on file). From that point, the vendor logged every journey taken, the odometer mileage, and all work done on the car. He participated in many events and trips, taking the Lagonda as far north as Inverness on a Scottish rally in 2006 (it has a heater!). The log stops in 2015, since when the car has not been used due to a change in domestic circumstances. It has, however, been started regularly and driven at the owner's home. It is a sign of the owner's regard and affection for this car that it is the last of his collection to be sold. 'RV 4443' is well known in Lagonda circles and also appears in Arnold Davey's book Lagonda 4½ Litre & V12 in Detail 1933-40. Accompanying documentation includes a current V5C; an old V5; an old-style continuation logbook (issued 1955); a quantity of expired MoT certificates; assorted invoices, correspondence, and miscellaneous papers; and the aforementioned driver's log and restoration photographic record.

1972 Aston Martin V8 Series 3 Sports SaloonRegistration no. WEW 297LChassis no. V8/11002/RCAOdometer reading: TBCMOT: N/A*The first production Series 3 car*Desirable manual transmission*Long-term AMOC member ownership 1983-2011Introduced for 1973, the Series 3 version of Aston Martin's V8 employed a quartet of Weber 42 DCNF carburettors instead of the previous Bosch mechanical fuel injection. Fuel economy improved and even in automatic-transmission form the Weber-equipped car proved almost as quick as the preceding manual version, being capable of over 145mph flat-out. Originally finished in Imperial Blue with off-white interior trim, '11002 is historically significant as the first of the Series 3 V8s, and was first registered to Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd as recorded in the accompanying despatch records copy. For the majority of its life, '11002' belonged to AMOC member David Boyd of Southampton, its custodian from 1983 to 2011. The first private owner was Icknield Way Farm Limited of Dunstable. In November 1977, ownership passed to Brian Cawley, also of Dunstable. There then followed a succession of ownership and registration changes before the Aston was acquired by Mr Boyd in December 1983 (see documentation on file). Servicing and maintenance undertaken during Mr Boyd's ownership are listed together with MoT history, the mileage total in February 2011 being recorded as 50,987. Latterly the car was SORN'd and used sparingly, covering fewer than 1,000 miles between 1997 and 2011. The current owner purchased '11002' from well-known Aston Martin brokers Byron International in June 2011; a copy of the sales invoice is on file and the car also comes with its last UK V5C Registration Certificate. There is also an interesting letter from Aston Martin's Roger Stowers concerning the engine number. The V8 has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

1929 LA Licorne Type HO2 Femina Convertible with DickeyRegistration no. XYL 79Chassis no. 52004Odometer reading: TBCMOT: Exempt *Rare French light car*Right-hand drive*Professionally restored in the 1990sLa Licorne's Type HO2 was a 908cc four-cylinder light car produced from 1928 to 1932. Around 6,000 were made and survivors are rare. This particular car is featured in the 1982 edition of Georgano's Beaulieu Encyclopaedia when it was owned by well known Alfa Romeo collector and authority, Angela Cherrett. An old V5 on file shows that from 1983 to 1989 the car was owned by a Roger Prout and from 1989 to 2018 by a Nigel Mills (both residents of Gloucestershire). The vendor (a relative of Roger Prout) acquired the car from Mr Mills in May 2018.During the mid-1990s the Licorne had been treated to a body-off rebuild by Tom Bowhill Restorations of Cheltenham (see correspondence and photographic record on file). The restoration included repairing the ash frame, re-trimming the interior, a re-spray from powder blue to red, and fitting a new hood, while the engine was fully rebuilt with new pistons, bearings, reground crankshaft, etc. Back on the road in 1997, the car currently has 92 miles showing on the odometer, which is assumed to be the distance driven since the restoration's completion; it remains in generally good condition, starting readily and running nicely. An extremely rare (possibly unique) survivor, 'XYL 79' would be an ideal entry into VSCC Light Car events and is certain to turn heads wherever it goes. Accompanying documentation consists of a V5C; an expired MOT; and the aforementioned restoration photographs, correspondence and old V5. It should be noted that the V5C erroneously records the date of manufacture as 1921 and the engine capacity as 1100cc. Offered with a useful quantity of spares.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 80/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1949 Humber Super Snipe MkII SaloonRegistration no. DFX 273Chassis no. 8800248HSOOdometer reading: 812 MOT: N/A*Restored from 'barn find' condition in the 1990s*Present ownership since 2007*Offered with a history fileAlready the majority shareholder in the combined Hillman/Humber concern, Rootes completed its takeover in 1931. Under Rootes' guidance, Hillman concentrated on models with mass-market appeal while Humber was pitched at a wealthier clientele. The Super Snipe first appeared in the late 1930s, finding a ready market within the ranks of Civil Service officialdom and the middle class professions, and continued in mildly face-lifted form post-WW2. In 1948 the Super Snipe underwent a more extensive revision, emerging as the longer and wider MkII, though still with the 4.1-litre six-cylinder sidevalve engine producing 100bhp. Styled with the assistance of Raymond Loewy's design studio, the MkII featured a new front end, while, perhaps surprisingly, running boards were reinstated. A touring limousine and a drophead coupé were available alongside the standard four-door saloon, while for the carriage trade there were the Thrupp & Maberly-bodied Pullman and Imperial long-wheelbase limousines. Acquired by the current owner from well-known and much liked dealer John Brown in April 2007, this Super Snipe MkII had been restored from a 'barn find' state to its present condition in the 1990s, as evidenced by photographs and invoice copies on file. The latter also contains a copy of the 2007 bill of sale; an old-style continuation logbook (issued 1954); a quantity of MoTs (most recent expired 2007); and old-style V5/V5C registration documents. It should be noted that the aforementioned registration documents erroneously record the chassis number suffix as 'H50' (should be 'HSO'). The Humber has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

On this occasion though, there would be no saloon version, the new M3 being available only as a Coupé or a Convertible, while the power unit was BMW's 3.2-litre S54-type six-cylinder engine producing 338bhp. There was a choice of two transmissions: a six-speed manual Getrag or SMG (Sequential Manual Gearbox) that used an electro-hydraulically actuated clutch (no clutch pedal) to shift the Getrag's six gears. Top speed was limited to 'only' 155mph (250km/h), though it was suggested that, free of restrictions, a maximum of around 170mph (270km/h) would be achievable. This beautiful left-hand drive M3 coupé was purchased new by the late owner from Zwartepoorte Roosendall BV BMW in the Netherlands in July 2001. The purchase receipt is on file listing the following options: metallic paint (black); red leather interior; rear airbags; heat insulating glass; electric heated front seats; navigation with TV tuner; and a Harmon Kardon hi-fi stereo system. The BMW was registered in two friends' names on the UK V5 but remained in the original purchaser's ownership. The car was last serviced in April 2021 by Grosvenor Motor Co, receiving new track rods, an oil service, and four-wheel alignment. The service book is stamped from new by BMW agents and BMW specialists, and the car also comes with its original leather wallet, handbooks, and three keys. The M3 is MoT'd to April 2022 and will be driven to the sale.

Originally finished in Rolls-Royce Regency Bronze with fawn interior trim, '11580' was despatched from the factory on 18th January 1977 bound for Aston Martin (Sales) Ltd. Copies of factory records on file reveal that the car was equipped with automatic transmission; two door mirrors; lockable centre armrest; over-riders; Philips AM/FM stereo radio/cassette; side repeater flashers; side marker lights; and two QI fog lamps, while the paint finish is described as 'non-standard'. The Aston's first owner is recorded as Ahmed Abdulla Abdelghani of London, and the original registration as 'PYN 178R'. Later in its life the Aston was registered 'UKE 313R'. The next earliest ownership record extant is a photocopy of a UK V5 dating from March 1998 (by which time the registration had changed to 'UKV 484R') when the car was acquired by Yarnolds of Stratford. The previous owner is listed as one Nicholas Seddon of Oxfordshire (from September 1995). In October 2001 the car was registered as 'J 96996' in Jersey, Channel Islands to Mr Geoffrey Hollyhead (copy Vehicle Registration Document on file).

1964 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III 'Continental' SaloonCoachwork by Coachwork by James YoungRegistration no. CGT 404BChassis no. SGT567Odometer reading: 98,431MOT: Exempt*Rare coachbuilt 'Continental' model*Present ownership since 2008*Purchased from marque specialists P&A Wood'In the twilight of their coachbuilding years, James Young had with these cars reached the pinnacle of excellence.' - Martin Bennett, Rolls-Royce and Bentley. Launched in 1962, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III and its Bentley S3 equivalent employed the 6.2-litre V8 engine introduced on the 'Cloud II/S2 - though with larger carburettors, new distributor and raised compression ratio - and came with a four-speed GM-derived automatic transmission as standard equipment. Most obvious among many changes from the preceding models was the adoption of four-headlamp lighting; the absence of sidelights from the wing tops; and a slightly lower radiator shell. Inside there was improved accommodation with separate front seats and increased room for rear passengers. With the 'Cloud III's introduction, it was decided to allow Bentley Continental-style bodies to be built on its chassis, which was altered to incorporate the lower-raked Bentley Continental steering column and other minor Continental features. However, it should be noted that Rolls-Royce never referred to these models as 'Continentals', this term being adopted subsequently by the motor trade. One source quotes a figure of only 20 Silver Cloud III 'Continentals' produced by James Young, which clothed them in aluminium-panelled four-door bodywork lighter than the 'standard steel' offering.

1960/1981 Morgan 4/4 4 seater SpecialRegistration no. 731 DCEChassis no. DB432581Engine no. A39848Odometer reading: 00,503MOT: Exempt *Low mileage since restoration*Excellent body & paintwork*A beautifully presented examplePurchased by the vendors late husband in 2011 after spotting an advert in Classic Autojumble, it was described as in need of some tlc. Little unfortunately is known of it's early history, but it would appear to have been re-built from an early '60s Morgan in 1979 / 81. There are photos of the rebuild which features a new chassis amongst other things and seems to have been carried out to a high standard.Once the Morgan was back in his garage, the new owner set about bringing it back to its former glory. Being an engineer by trade there wasn't much which he couldn't accomplish himself, so running gear was re-furbished , body work was repainted in cream and maroon and all of the small jobs were completed to his exacting standards. The interior was completely recovered including door cards, seats and new carpets. Unfortunately, it was hardly used once back on the road and with its last MOT certificate expiring in 2016, hasn't been on the road since then. It has though been dry stored and regularly started, up until the vendor's husband's death earlier this year. Upon its arrival at Bonhams MPH, it didn't take us long to fire this lovely Morgan back into life, and it now runs and drives a treat. Currently fitted with a 4-speed gearbox, the spares box includes a 5 speed MK9 Ford gearbox, bellhousing and clutch package as well as a few other spares. Overall this Morgan presents beautifully and is certain to give its new owner lots of pleasurable driving.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1989 Westfield SEi SportsChassis no. DR89WSEI1339Odometer reading: 22,104MOT: N/A *Authenticated by Westfield Sportscars*1.8-litre Ford Duratec engine*Used for track days and hill climbs*Rebuilt in 2019Continuing the concept of a basic road/competition car for the enthusiast established successfully by the Mark VI, Lotus's most enduring model - the Seven - arrived in 1957 and, much developed and modified, continues in production today courtesy of Caterham Cars. Moving up-market, Lotus ceased manufacturing the Seven themselves in 1973, but the idea was too good to waste and production was officially continued by Caterham. Other manufacturers shared this enthusiasm for the Seven, Westfield included, a situation that led to Caterham's successful court action against them in 1987. Tooling for the SE model was removed and Westfield were forced to come up with a new design - the SEi - that was sufficiently different from Caterham's to avoid further litigation. This SEi has been authenticated by Westfield Sportscars as built in November 1989 (copy document on file). As an SEi it features independent rear suspension and a rare aluminium axle. Believed to been built as a road/race car, it has never been registered, its use being confined to track days and hill climbs. The 1.8-litre Ford Duratec engine incorporates '130' cams and breathes via twin Weber carburettors, while the gearbox is a five-speed unit. Rebuilt in 2019, this Westfield is in very good condition, ready to resume its motor sport career or for road registration. Few four-wheeled vehicles are more fun than one of these fast and exciting Westfields.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 76/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.
