Registration No: UBP 650Chassis No: AE528MOT: None Supplied new to K.N. Rudd Ltd and then registered to AC Cars LtdOff the road since at least 1978Matching chassis and engine numbersThe subject of much past restoration work including a bodywork refurbishment1 of just 151 AC-engined cars madeA very worthwhile project Introduced in 1954, the AC Aceca fastback was conceived as a more refined alternative to the company's seminal Ace roadster. Developed by Alan Turner and Desmond Stratton, the new model augmented its open-topped sibling's ladder-framed chassis with an elegant square-tube superstructure. Boasting a generous glasshouse, sensuous roofline and practical side-hinged rear hatchback, the Aceca's Grand Touring credentials were more than skin deep as proven by its all-round independent transverse-leaf suspension and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Initially powered by the John Weller designed 1991cc OHC straight-six which had been a staple part of AC production since 1919, the two-seater could later be had with a choice of Bristol 2-litre or Ford 2.6 litre engines (all three variants boasting a 100mph plus top speed). Handbuilt, just 328 Acecas were produced of which 151 were AC-engined.According to its accompanying original buff logbook, chassis AE528 was initially road registered as ‘UBP 650’ on November 4th 1955 to K.N. Rudd Ltd; the company owned by renowned racing driver, tuner and AC concessionaire Ken Rudd. The second keeper is listed as A.C. Cars Ltd, while the first private individual to take possession was J. Orr Esq of Avon House, Keynsham on February 13th 1956. Thereafter, the Aceca passed to Aubin Long Esq, Jas Harrison & Sons Ltd, Geoffrey Hewitt Esq, Anthony Strange Esq, Wilfred Bell Esq and Raymond Harding Esq before being bought by William Charlton Esq in December 1967 who kept it for the next forty-nine years. Last taxed for road use during 1977, the two-seater was dismantled by Mr Charlton pending a restoration that has yet to be completed. Acquiring the project in 2016, the vendor had the chassis and bodywork professionally restored with the latter being finished in Grey Primer. Factory finished in Blue with matching Blue leather upholstery, the AC has also had its speedometer and rev counter refurbished plus numerous new parts bought for it. Sundry chromework has been replated and the four-speed manual gearbox not only rejuvenated but augmented by a Laycock de Normanville overdrive. The original AC 2-litre straight-six engine (number CL2206W) is present but in need of a complete overhaul. The fibreglass mouldings for the front footwells, gearbox cover and rear bulkhead appear basically sound and there are numerous hand drawn paper templates to help reconstruct the interior. An appropriate kit is among the spares should a new owner wish to convert the car to rack and pinion steering. The finned brake drums look to have been rejuvenated and a wiring loom should act as a guide when it comes to reinstating the electrics. The front windscreen and side windows are present as is the plexiglass rear windscreen. The radiator has been reconditioned and the original brass chassis plate retained. It is somewhat indistinct but we thought we could see the number ‘528’ stamped into a bonnet hinge which suggests the component itself is original. We are not aware of any major parts being missing. However, the AC is being sold strictly as seen and as such potential purchasers are urged to carry out their own inspections. Offered for sale with original buff logbook, continuation logbooks, V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.

Registration No: UV 1377Chassis No: 116KRMOT: ExemptPreviously owned by Peter Edward Mazzina, the companion and associate of Maundry Gregory and manager of the infamous Ambassador Club, LondonPurchased by its current owner as a restoration project for completion and offered today ready for a new owner to enjoySubject to significant expenditure in the last 18 months, with mechanical works too long to list After seven years of experiment and test, the 40/50hp six-cylinder Phantom chassis emerged, and is offered to the public as the most suitable type possible for a mechanically-propelled chassis under present-day conditions" (New Phantom launch brochure, May 1925).By 1925, the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost had been upstaged by a younger generation of more technically advanced luxury cars. The glory days of the 1913 Alpine Trials had long passed and both Henry Royce and Rolls-Royce sales manager Claude Johnson felt the need to produce a new claimant to the title 'best car in the world'. Just as the competition between car manufacturers was becoming increasingly fierce, so that between rival coachbuilders had intensified correspondingly. With the arrival of each faster, more powerful chassis came the opportunity to construct ever more lavish, sophisticated coachwork. To ensure that their cars could be fitted with the finest bodies in the world, Rolls-Royce introduced the 'New Phantom'.While its tapered channel-section chassis, four-speed manual transmission, supple springing (semi-elliptic front, cantilever rear) and ingenious gearbox-driven servo assisted four wheel brakes owed much to its predecessor, the Phantom's 7668cc engine was all new. Quoted as being an impressive 33 per cent more powerful than the Ghost's unit, it featured overhead valves set in a detachation in the UK until 1929, by which time some 2,269 chassis had been delivered.Chassis 116 KR still retains its original registration ‘UV 1377’ and was registered on 03 July 1929 as long wheel base and delivered to an S Harris Esq of 80 Wardour St, London. At that time, Wardour St was known as Film Row, with approximately 40 film companies including Warner Brothers with offices located there. There is little in the way of history for this car until a year later.In 1930, UV 1377 is described on the logbook as a coupe finished in black with red wheels, and is under the ownership of Peter Edward Mazzina. Mazzina was the companion and associate of Maundry Gregory and manager of the Ambassador Club, London, which was infamous for entertaining the likes of the Prince of Wales, codenamed ‘Number 1’, and for various illicit activities. The car remained under his ownership until 1935.1935 saw UV 1377 enter the ownership of Thomas Ireland & Sons Ltd of Lancaster, bus company and funeral directors. During this custodianship, this Rolls-Royce would be rebodied as ‘Saloon Hearse’, finished in Blue and Black. The car would remain with the company until 1965, before the vehicle in transferred to the ownership of Hillcrest Coaches of Settle, Yorkshire, for just one year until sold to an M.J Hollinshead.Fast forward to more recent years, and UV 1377 would be commissioned by its previous owner for restoration in 1996. Photographic history shows the car in its Hearse form, followed by a brief spell in a Doctor’s Coupe body. The vehicle would then receive the Sedanca body it retains to this day.Purchased as a restoration project to be completed by the current owner, UV 1377 still retains its original engine numbered ‘KU 95’ and is now in finished form, having had a significant amount of work completed including overhauls to the cylinder head, magneto, dynamo and autovac. The crankshaft damper received overhaul with Ristes Motor Co and the carburettor with Fiennes Restoration. As well as this, the bottom end was inspected with clearances checked, camshaft followers inspected and radiator flushed. The work didn’t stop here, with the interior re-upholstered and completed and sedanca top made and fitted, with complementary box under the running board fabricated and fitted for parts of the sedanca top when down. Receipts total some £12,500 in the last 18 months, with the vendor also informing us of much work where no receipts were obtained.UV 1377 comes accompanied with a host of paperwork, including copies of the chassis bill of sale, inspection reports, delivery papers, previous logbooks, photographic evidence of the start of the restoration and a significant number of invoices for works carried out, the vendor reports a slight ticking when the engine is cold, which proceeds to disappear when the vehicle has warmed up. Due to this, they rate the condition of the engine as ‘Average to Good’. The paintwork, transmission and interior trim are rated as ‘Good’ with the bodywork and electrical equipment ‘Very Good’.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Andreas Hicksandreas.hicks@handh.co.uk07943584762
Registration No: CR 9914Chassis No: 930MOT: Exempt One of just twenty-four Bentley 3 Litre cars known to have survived with its original J. Gurney Nutting coachworkMatching chassis, engine, bonnet, steering box, rear axle and gearbox numbers etcRemarkably original with pot joints at both ends of the propshaft plus Gurney Nutting floorboards / fasteners and door furnitureMuch improved during the current ownership by Ewen Getley's Kingsbury Racing Shop including an engine overhaul (£14,797.20), new clutch, replacement exhaust, relined brakes and sundry electrical workA wonderful, imposing and unusually correct Vintage Bentley "It was not the means whereby the 3-Litre Bentley performed, but the manner in which it did it, that endeared the car to sportsmen who took pride in their driving. The engine was remarkably flexible, strong and reliable, the gear ratios admirably chosen, the handling excellent and the quality unremittingly high. So, also, was the price, but an ever-growing reputation, augmented by striking racing victories - including the Le Mans 24 hours of 1924 and 1927 - ensured its success" ('Classic Sports Cars' by Cyril Posthumus and David Hodges).A railway engineering apprentice turned aero engine designer, Walter Owen Bentley previewed his first creation, the immortal 3-Litre, at the October 1919 London Motor Show (though, he would not deem it production ready for another two years). Inspired by a 1914 Humber TT racer, the newcomer's ladder-frame chassis was equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and rear-wheel drum brakes (four-wheel brakes becoming the norm from 1924 onwards). The car's heart and most advanced feature was its 2996cc engine. A long-stroke four-cylinder (80mm x 149mm) that prioritized torque over top-end power, it boasted a five-bearing crankshaft, shaft-driven overhead camshaft, monobloc construction, twin ignition, four valves per cylinder and aluminium pistons.Developing between 65bhp and 88bhp, the unit was allied to a separate four-speed gate-change gearbox. Supplied in bare chassis guise only, albeit with a choice of wheelbase lengths and engine tune, the 3-Litre remained in production until 1929 by which time some 1,621 are thought to have been made. As well as its two Le Mans victories, the Bentley enjoyed considerable success at Brooklands and even broke the 24-hour world record around Montlhery setting a 95mph average speed.According to the motoring historian and author Tom Clarke, chassis 930 is one of just twenty-four Bentley 3 Litres that are known to have survived to the present day with their original Gurney Nutting coachwork. The car also pleasingly retains its factory-fitted front crossmember (930), engine (914), steering box (926), bonnet (930), gearbox (1498) and rear axle (930 on banjo casing and nose piece). We presume that the front axle is original too but were loath to scrape away the paint. For a WO Bentley to have retained such an unusually high proportion of original components indicates that it has led something of a charmed existence. The floorboards are held in place with nicely crafted, T-headed brass bolts and we suspect the door furniture to have come from Gurney Nutting’s Chelsea workshops too.First registered in Southampton during February 1925 as ‘CR 9914’, the Bentley was built on the Standard (10ft 10in) wheelbase and supplied new to local resident J.B.M. McMeikin Esq. who is the only owner listed on its accompanying copy factory service record. The same document suggests the Open Four-Seater had (a) covered a mere 9,000 miles by the time that its five-year guarantee expired on 28th February 1930 and (b) that it dropped off Cricklewood’s radar some four years later. Surviving World War Two, the 3 Litre belonged to Captain Ivan Forshaw by the late 1940s. Former secretary of the Lagonda Club and proprietor of Aston Service Dorset, Capt Forshaw had a real love of British engineering and indeed there are photographs on file of him tinkering under the bonnet and leaning against one of the twin-mounted spare wheels. It is unknown whether he was responsible for installing the twin SUs which provide more power than the initial Smiths five-jet carburettor. Imported to America by the Rolls-Royce and Bentley dealer Neil McDade of Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1956, chassis 930 passed to famed collector Bernie Goldflies of Dayton, Ohio and near neighbour Richard Fisher before being sold to George Evenson during 1968 who kept it for nigh on thirty years. Enthusiastically evented by Mr Evenson but otherwise stabled in a heated garage, the Open Four-Seater was awarded a series of third, second and first place Certificates of Merit at various RROC regional and national meetings from the 1970s through to the 1990s. Recrossing the Atlantic in 2014, the 3 Litre then spent time in Austria prior to entering the current ownership during 2018. A true Rolls-Royce and Bentley enthusiast, the seller has commissioned renowned marque specialist Ewen Getley’s Kingsbury Racing Shop Ltd to fit a new cone clutch, improve the wiring, restore the bezel switch and overhaul the engine via a rebore, re-magnetised magnetos, new +40 thou pistons, valves and valve guides etc. Interestingly, Mr Getley is understood to have been surprised to find the previous pistons were of the factory ‘hourglass’ type and that the propshaft had both its pot joints. Corresponding invoices total circa £23,000 and also show that the brake linings have been renewed and the carburettors attended to.Blue Label cars may be less fashionable than their Red Label counterparts but it is hard not to be charmed by this one’s originality. Featured in the Johnnie Green book ‘BENTLEY: Fifty Years of the Marque’ and starting readily upon inspection, ‘CR 9914’ is only being offered for sale to free up garage space for another Bentley project. A handsome, well-proportioned WO which could be upgraded to 4½ power or simply enjoyed ‘as is’. Accompanied by a bound ‘Technical Facts of the Vintage Bentley’ manual, the aforementioned Kingsbury Racing Shop Ltd bills, sundry other paperwork and period photographs (including a hand tinted image taken by an Egyptian photographer).
Registration No: UN-Reg Chassis No: A45I4072 MOT: ExemptFitted with an open pick-up bodyRecently imported from America and ready for registration with first UK keeperWooden-stake pickup bed and driver’s side-mounted spare tyreThe self-evident subject of an older restorationAmid rumours that several States were preparing to ban his Model T due to its 'unsafe' hand-operated braking system, Henry Ford begrudgingly succumbed to pressure and authorised the development of a successor. Introduced in December 1927, the Model A was greeted with unprecedented demand. Longer and lower-slung than the Model T, it retained transverse-leaf suspension but proved significantly more refined. Designed by Howard Hicks, its 3285cc, L-Head four-cylinder engine developed 40bhp (twice the Model T's output) boasting niceties like coil ignition and integral water pump. Mated to a three-speed manual gearbox, it gave a top speed of 65mph necessitating the fitment of four-wheel brakes.This charming Model A was recently imported into the United Kingdom from Iowa, America and is supplied with a NOVA in preparation for registration with the first UK keeper. Fitted with the Roadster Pick-Up body, four-cylinder engine and a three-speed manual transmission, this example was the beneficiary of a self-evident older restoration. Finished in the complementary colour scheme of Blue and Black with a Black interior and hood, the Ford features a well-finished wooden-stake pick-up bed and driver’s side-mounted spare tyre.Vendor Condition Ratings:Bodywork: 'Good’ Engine: 'Very Good' Electrical Equipment: 'Very Good' Paintwork: ‘Average to Good' Gearbox: 'Very Good' Interior Trim: 'Very Good'Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452
Registration No: B10 DGHChassis No: SCBZS00A3LCH32688MOT: July 202256,000 recorded miles and just 3 former keepersOffered with book pack, handbooks and service bookFinished in Royal Blue with Parchment hide leather interior This lovely looking example is finished in Royal Blue with Parchment hide complemented by blue piping with a sheepskin over rugs and has covered just c.56,000 miles in the hands of three former keepers. In the previous ownership for some twenty years, B10 DGH has clearly been well maintained, with 18 stamps (mostly main dealers) shown in the service record up to 53,000 miles. Offered with its book pack, handbooks and service book and a current MoT to 22nd July 2022, this comfortable and capable Mulsanne S rides on correct specification Avon Turbospeed tyres and is said to be “a superb example of this model”.Styled in-house by Austrian born Fritz Feller, the Bentley Mulsanne had somewhat less fussy lines than its T2 predecessor. Introduced in 1980, its greater road presence masked a larger glass area. While it looked suitably imposing from the outside, internally it proved pleasantly airy. Although, based on the Shadow/T2 floor plan, the Mulsanne offered considerable improvements in both ride and handling thanks to its new Girling automatic ride-height control and gas shock absorbers. Copious amounts of sound deadening combined with the finest quality upholstery kept intrusion from the 6.75-litre V8 engine and three-speed automatic transmission to a muted hush unless the model's full 120mph potential was explored. Driver inputs were minimised with power-assisted steering and disc brakes. Launched in October 1987, the Mulsanne 'S' benefited from firmer, more sporting suspension and a new centre console design (the latter feature donated by the Turbo R). Fitted with alloy wheels as standard, the new model gained quad headlamps in September 1988. Only in production for five years, a mere 909 standard wheelbase cars are thought to have been made.

Registration No: UN-Reg Chassis No: 100GS 010193 MOT: ExemptCharming Bertone 850 SpiderFormerly part of the Petitjean collection of StrasbourgPurchased by the vendor directly from the collection and imported to the United KingdomSupplied with scarce hard-top in body colourFiat's perennially pretty 850 Spider emanated from the prolific pen of Giorgetto Giugiaro, was built by Bertone and unveiled at the 1965 Geneva Salon. It was notable for the free-flowing elegance of its lines and the fact the hood could be completely hidden from view below a panel ahead of the rear-mounted engine. Early examples were powered by the same 843cc engine as the Saloon, but in 1968 the Spider's unit was enlarged to 903cc - this version was known as the Sport.Manufactured in 1967 in left-hand drive specification, this Fiat 850 Spider is fitted with the 843cc straight-four engine mated to the four-speed manual transmission. The charming Bertone coachwork is finished in red with a black vinyl interior upholstery and a black hood, the 850 is accompanied by a scarce body-coloured hard-top. With a recorded mileage of c.60,100 km, the Fiat was formerly part of the Petitjean collection based in Strasbourg, of Marcel Petitjean, a former French racing driver who invested his returns from a business empire into rare cars.Sourced for the collection from a French owner who is said to have used the Fiat for many local events, the 850 entered into the collection in 2009 where it remained until 2020. The car was purchased by the vendor directly from the collection and imported into the United Kingdom in 2020. A rarity on British shores, this 850 Spider is an appealing sports car to those searching for something a little different.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Andreas Hicksandreas.hicks@handh.co.uk07943584762

Deliberately evoking the E-Type via its oval grille, speeding teardrop glasshouse and muscular haunches, the newcomer featured bonded / riveted aluminium construction, all-round independent suspension, power steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Powered by a supercharged 4.2-litre V8 engine developing some 420bhp and 413lbft of torque, the range topping XKR variant was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds and was limited to 155mph.Presented in Grey Blue with Charcoal leather and featuring Aluminium trim, HX07 WJG registers some 78,294 miles on its odometer. The impressive specification includes cruise control. Showing five previous owners on the V5 certificate, the car is accompanied by its service book which evidences a comprehensive service history.

Mercedes-Benz spent over £600 million researching and developing the 190 and was subsequently quoted as describing it as 'massively over-engineered’. Fortunately, it proved to be the huge commercial success it deserved to be, becoming one of the brand's best-selling vehicles with over 1.8 million sold over its 11 year production. Today they increasingly sought-after modern classics, and they hark back to a golden era of timeless Mercedes design and bulletproof build quality. Presented in grey with black cloth interior, J987 JGU was manufactured in 1992. A Japanese market car, this particular example was imported in 2015 and registered in the UK in September of 2016. Benefiting from just 40,867 miles on the odometer, included with the vehicle are a number of documents including the V5 which displays 1 former keeper, export certificate, a number of previous MOT certificates dating back to 2016 and a collection of invoices for previous work.

Being enjoyed by four keepers whilst resident in the UK since 1997 (the last three being from the same family), it is accompanied by assorted expired MoTs back to 2003 when the mileage was 9,246 miles together with a number of invoices. These detail recent expenditure including replacement fan/air-con belts in September 2020, a new battery in 2020 (with 4-year Halford’s guarantee) and a service in May 2018 by Peaslake Garage which included changing of the brake fluid. Said to be in “very good” condition throughout it is offered with Swansea V5C and a current MoT to June 2022.When production of MG B finished and the doors of the Abingdon plant closed the outcry was such that the state-owned company (by then known as the Rover Group), hatched plans to revive the brand. As the MGF launch would take some time, Rover created the RV8 as an interim model. Based on a re-sculptured B bodyshell benefiting from modern production methods and corrosion protection and powered by a 3.9-litre version of Rover's alloy V8 mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, output was 190 bhp - sufficient for 0- 60 mph in under six seconds and a top speed of 135 mph.

Registration No: FKH 824 Chassis No: DC3958DL MOT: ExemptOffered from a deceased estate without reserveLong-term previous ownership and in current family ownership since 2017Had a cameo appearance in the 2002 film ‘A is for Acid’Accompanied by a history fileThe Flying 12 was introduced at the Motor Show in October 1935 with a 1609cc (12hp) four-cylinder side-valve engine producing 44bhp and driving through a 4-speed box. The car was sophisticated, quiet and well-mannered but it soon became clear that the performance was lacklustre thanks to a heavy body on a weighty chassis. Within a year the factory had designed a much lighter chassis for what is today known as the Light 12, but it was to take rather longer to develop a suitably lightweight body that would offer the space and the comforts that Standard desired.Manufactured in 1939, this Flying 12 was first registered in the UK on the 24th of March 1939. Fitted with the 1609cc four-cylinder side-value engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission and is finished in the complementary colour scheme of Black with Green interior trim. The Standard has a recorded mileage of 86,682 (atoc) miles and has been in current family ownership since 2017. Having a cameo appearance in the 2002 film ‘A is for Acid’, ‘FKH 824’ is now offered from a deceased estate and may require some recommissioning following a short period of storage although is said to ‘run well’.

Registration No: NOH 757Chassis No: B291SPMOT: ExemptFitted with an FB60 Rolls-Royce 4-litre straight-six engine mated to automatic transmissionRecently completed and ready to be enjoyedNew interior, hood, wheels and tyresBased around a 1953 R-Type, the build of NOH 757 including stripping the donor vehicle back to the bare chassis which was blasted and painted having been found to require no welding. All suspension parts and the braking system were then checked, cleaned and refitted whilst the brakes were converted to hydraulics front and rear and a remote servo fitted. The FB60 Rolls-Royce engine was stripped and checked over by a specialist, its alloy construction allowing not only for weight saving but also far more pleasant steering characteristics over the cast iron unit. The bodywork was constructed in the traditional manner using a hard wood frame, aluminium and ply covered with quality Everflex. The wheels were custom made by Torrino Wheels of Peterborough and shod with Blockley tyres. The interior, seats and doors have been trimmed in quality leather whilst the hood is of Mohair. Attention to detail is evidenced by the presence of the correct Bentley jack and wheel brace being present in the toolbox. Offered with V5c and a collection of photographs from the build NOH 757 is now described as having “very good” body, paint, interior, engine and transmission, this recently completed special is only being offered for sale to allow the vendor to concentrate on other projects.Introduced in 1946, the MKVI was Bentley's first post-WW2 model. Aimed at the emerging 'owner-driver' luxury car market, it was fitted with a freshly developed 4257cc engine mated to four-speed manual transmission. Suspension was independent by coil springs at the front and by leaf springs at the rear. Braking was by mechanically-assisted drums all-round. Unfortunately, the variable quality of steel available in the post-WW2 period meant that the MKVI's Standard Steel Saloon coachwork rarely lasted as long as Crewe had intended, and by the mid-1960s there were plenty of mechanically strong but cosmetically untidy cars running around. From that time onwards, the tradition of building Bentley MKVI-based Specials has been long and proud.

Registration No: C554 CTRChassis No: WDB1070462A021658MOT: August 2022Just 12,540 miles from newOffered with a collection of invoicesImported from the car friendly climate of Japan in 2015Finished in Smoke Silver complemented with a Black leather interiorOriginally built in November 1984 to a UK order this 500 SL was re-imported to the UK from Japan in 2015. Finished in Smoke Silver with Anthracite leather interior and black soft top, this extremely low mileage example registers just 12,540 miles from new. The car’s build record lists a number of options including limited-slip differential, Tempomat cruise control and anti-lock braking system. In 2020 it underwent a workshop inspection which included an engine compression test and full service. Offered with matching hard top, a collection of invoices and old MoTs, Japanese service records, original sales brochure and a book on the SL 107 series cars, this highly collectible example boasting a fantastic colour scheme is worthy of close inspection.The landmark 300SL was unveiled in 1954 and the similarly styled, but mechanically unrelated 190 followed in 1955, completing the first generation of cars. The second series of SLs (Pagoda Top) began with the 230 of 1963. The larger, third generation model (R107) was launched in 1971, initially with just a 3.5-litre engine (350 SL) mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The car featured a two-door monocoque bodyshell with independent suspension all round - double wishbones/coil springs at the front and semi-trailing arms/coil springs at the rear. Braking was by discs all round - ventilated on the front. Over its phenomenal 18-year reign, the R107 range was powered by no less than eight different engines. The 500 SL variant was manufactured from 1980 to 1989, and with 240bhp on tap this model, with its all-alloy fuel-injected V8, was made for Europe only (though a few slipped into North America as grey imports) and, with 60mph available in 7.4 secs and a top speed of around 140mph, was faster even than the US, Japan and Australian-market 560SL.

Registration No: TGC 484MChassis No: 73051390LMOT: Exempt Lotus Elan +2S Coupe benefitting from a full restoration in 20191.6 litre Lotus-Ford twin cam inline four mated to a 5 speed manual transmissionLarge file including invoices totalling over £10000 for parts bought during restorationThe Elan 2 was revealed to the world in 1962 with a 1500cc engine and a four-speed gearbox in a small and stylish 2-seater roadster form. The Plus 2 (code-named M20) was introduced in 1967 and had arguably better proportions than the 'baby' Elan. In 1971 the +2S 130 was launched with the Lotus 'Twin Cam' engine, providing an improved 126bhp hence the “130” model suffix. It produced a maximum torque of 113lb/ft at 5,500 rpm, providing plenty of power to fully enjoy this lightweight and useable family sports car. The +2S 130 was an appreciable step up in quality with a raft of luxury fittings from quartz halogen fog lights to burr walnut facia and electric windows. In October 1972 the long-called for five speed gearboxes finally arrived as an option, to make cruising smoother, and the Lotus Elan +2S 130/5 became ‘the’ version to have.This 1973 Lotus Elan Coupe has benefited from an extensive restoration in 2019 and further recent electrical work in October 2021. Powered by a 1.6-litre Lotus-Ford Twin Cam inline-four engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission, the odometer displays just 41,135 miles (not warranted). During the restoration the body and chassis were separated and the body painted in a blue and silver colour combination, while the chassis has been cleaned and painted to protect it from any future corrosion. The work has been executed to a high standard with flush even shut lines and bright, glossy paintwork in lovely condition while the exterior trim is in excellent order. The door and window seals have been replaced and a period correct set of 13-inch Dunlop alloy wheels with black painted centres and polished rims has been fitted.The interior cabin has been retrimmed in beige vinyl covering the seats, door cards and transmission tunnel. The upholstery is in excellent condition with a very few minor surface marks. The walnut veneer dashboard is smart but has faded slightly with a few minor chips and cracks. The white lettering on the controls is missing, along with the black plastic knobs which cover the ends of the heater control sliders. A modern retro-styled radio, which provides Bluetooth and USB connectivity, has been installed and all of the buttons, switches and electrical items are in good working order.Mechanically there has been a full engine rebuild including a carburettor refurbishment and the installation of an electronic ignition system. The braking and suspension components have been overhauled and all four wheels are fitted with Toyo 350 175/70 R13 tyres. Its most recent routine maintenance included replacement of the engine oil, oil filter, spark plugs, brake fluid and auxiliary belt, as well as a service of the electrical components. The car comes supplied with invoices for over £10000 for parts bought during the restoration process and a further £1500 for recent recommissioning work. There is also a FIA Historic Regularity Run car pass placing it in the Grand Touring category for use in classic car events.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Ian Cunninghamian.cunningham@handh.co.uk07415 871189
Registration No: DYS 88CChassis No: GHN346704MOT: ExemptRecently restored to a high standardRetaining many original featuresOffered with V5c and a collection of invoicesThe MGA had really been the first 'BMC corporate' MG, and the MGB which replaced it was intended to be even more popular. Although the engineering of the new car was evolutionary - the B-Series engine, transmission, rear axle and independent front suspension were all improved versions of those used in the previous MGA. The first incarnation of the MGB built from 1962 to April 1965 featured distinctive pull-type door handles and a 95bhp/1798cc engine with three-main-bearing crankshaft and while overdrive was an optional extra, the model's top speed was more than 100mph. Today, it enjoys a very strong following and with its GT sister has spawned a dedicated support industry. For many, the early chrome-bumper MGB roadster is the epitome of the classic British sports car.This ‘pull-handle’ roadster was manufactured in 1965 and is finished in the classic combination of Green matched to a Black interior. Bought as a ‘garage find’ by the vendor in 2016 on the understanding it had been a one owner example, ‘DYS 88C’ has recently been restored to a high standard including a bodywork renovation and repaint plus brake, rear axle and suspension overhauls. The gearbox and overdrive have also been refurbished and a new clutch fitted. The engine has been refreshed too and converted to run on unleaded. Retaining many original features and offered with soft top, hood frame, tonneau cover, refurbished instruments, V5 and a collection of invoices the vendor currently considers the engine, transmission, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim all to be in `excellent' order.

Registration No: ATO 140K Chassis No: GHD5267412G MOT: ExemptAn original UK right-hand drive car which has been retro-fitted with a Rover V8 engineUnderstood to have been exported from the United Kingdom during the 1990sFormerly part of the Petitjean collection of StrasbourgPurchased by the vendor directly from the collection and repatriated to the United KingdomA more powerful alternative to the MG B came in 1973 with the introduction of the B V8 - a GT-only variant powered by the ubiquitous 3528cc Rover V8 unit. Though inspired by the conversions carried out by independent tuner Ken Costello, the factory V8 cars were somewhat less tuned, producing 137bhp rather than 150bhp – the output was nevertheless sufficient for a sprightly 0-60mph time of around eight seconds and a top speed of 125mph. With only 2,591 genuine factory V8’s manufactured, many B’s have since been uprated with V8 engines.Manufactured in 1972 and supplied new to the United Kingdom, the BGT was first registered on the 13th of January that year. Originally fitted with the 1798cc straight-four B-series engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission, ‘ATO 140K’ has been retro-fitted with a 3.5-litre Rover V8 engine. Finished in Red with Black interior upholstery and Black Webasto roof, the MG was originally presented in Orange with the colour change occurring in 1990, around the time ‘ATO 140K’ is understood to have been restored.Showing five former UK keepers, the MG is thought to have been exported during the 1990s before forming part of the Petitjean collection in Strasbourg of Marcel Petitjean (a former French racing driver who invested his returns from a business empire into rare cars). Entering into the collection in 2007, it remained there until 2020 when it was purchased by the vendor and repatriated into the United Kingdom.Footnote: For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452
Registration No: DDG 999LChassis No: V810559RCAMOT: November 2022Subject to an extensive bodywork restoration and mechanical overhaulFinished in Oliver Green complemented with a retrimmed Cream leather interiorFitted with correct Dog-Leg manual gearboxPrevious engine overhaul and recent inspection with compression test by marque specialist1 of just 288 Series 2 examples madeIntroduced in April 1972 shortly after Aston Martin had been acquired by Company Developments, the new V8 was visually distinguished from its DBS V8 predecessor by a black mesh grille and twin (rather than quad) headlights. Under the skin, the two shared the same platform chassis, DeDion rear axle, independent front suspension, power steering and disc brakes. Another carry over was the 'quad-cam' 5340cc V8 engine allied to either five-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. Credited with developing well over 300bhp - thanks in part to its Bosch mechanical fuel-injection system - the model was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6 seconds and almost 160mph (figures which would not be properly eclipsed until the arrival of the fearsome Vantage). Only in production for fifteen months, just 288 of the first generation `twin headlight' V8s are thought to have been made.This Aston Martin V8 was built in July 1972 with fuel injected engine and automatic transmission and delivered to Plough Motors Ltd, Stroud Valley in August that year for delivery to its first owner. This is therefore an original RHD UK market car and one of just 288 Series 2 cars produced. Little is known about the car’s early history despite attempts to track this down via the Owners Club and Works Service. However, the DVLA have confirmed that ‘DDG 999L’ is the original registration number of the car. The car was exported at some point, most likely in 1987 when it was last taxed prior to the vendor purchasing it. It is believed to have remained in Europe (as evidenced by a Norwegian registration document dated March 2003) before returning to the UK from Germany in 2015. During its time abroad, the car was converted to LHD.Purchased by the vendor as a bare body shell, with fully overhauled engine and everything else in boxes, this 1972 Aston Martin V8 was treated to a comprehensive restoration between 2015 and 2020 and has been placed in dry storage since completion. Work to the body comprised the eradication of all rust and included the fitment of new sills, rear radius arm mounting points and boot floor. At some point the car had been styled like a later Oscar India V8 with Kamm tail rear bodywork, this being removed to return the car to original specification. It was also converted back to RHD and painted in Aston Martin Olive Green. Many new parts were incorporated into the build including a complete new wiring loom and full stainless-steel exhaust. The GKN wheels were refurbished and new 225/70x15 Michelin XWX tyres with tubes were fitted. This tyre size being correct for a manual V8.Prior to fitting, the engine was run on the dyno and achieved an extremely healthy 330bhp without any tuning. The car is said to “run and drive extremely well and is a showcase for how good a properly set up mechanically fuel injected car should feel. The fully overhauled ZF dog-leg gear box now fitted complements the engine as, unlike later carburettor V8's, the mechanical fuel injection delivers it's power further up the rev range.” The engine also benefits from a recent inspection with compression test by marque specialist Rikki Cann.The interior was completely retrimmed in Conolly Vaumol Luxan Stone leather. The carpets are Boyriven Wilton and the headliner is Boyriven Union Cloth in fawn. In addition, all the black vinyl dash panels were re-covered and the steering wheel restored.On completion, ‘DDG 999L’ was entered into the Aston Martin Owner's Club Concours in February 2021. Due to Covid restrictions, this was a virtual concours and the judges used photographs to assess the cars. Despite strong competition, this car was declared the winner of the "Newport Pagnell V8" class. A commemorative plaque is included with the history.A decidedly handsome machine, this recently restored Series 2 is offered with a folder of invoices for parts and work carried out during the restoration as well as a substantial ring bound document comprising details of all the work carried out along with accompanying photographs.

Registration No: BJA 325KChassis No: 1S51021MOT: July 2022Current ownership since 2015Subject to a gearbox overhaul in 2014Offered with a collection of invoices and old MOT'sConverted from a coupe to a roadster in the early 1990sPLEASE NOTE: The estimate on this lot is now £48,000 to £55,000This desirable manual transmission V12 is understood to have been restored and converted from a coupe in the early 1990s at which time the odometer was reset. Although no invoices are present for the conversion it was clearly carried out to a high standard and the car looks resplendent with its red coachwork, black interior, and chrome wire wheels. Indeed, it has since won numerous prizes including the Bugatti Owner’s Club ‘Scuderia Prize’ and ‘Best in Show’ at a Jaguar Enthusiasts Club Isle Of Man Tour. Whilst in the hands of previous owners it was treated to engine works by Chequered Flag in 2011 and a gearbox overhaul at a cost of £4500 in 2014. Acquired by the vendor in 2015, more recent attention has included the fitment of a new electronic distributor cap and rotor arm in July this year. Offered with a collection of invoices, old MoTs dating back to 1993, original operating manual and sales and service book. ‘BJA325K’ is, in our opinion, sensibly priced when compared to the values of restored original examples with the vendor currently rating the paintwork, bodywork and interior as “Good” with “Very Good” engine plus transmission and is offered with an MOT certificate into July 2022.By 1971, Jaguar's jaw-dropping E-Type had been in production for a decade. Despite continual improvements, new emissions legislation in the all-important American market threatened to strangle the big cat's performance. Jaguar responded by giving its revered sportscar fresh claws in the shape of a 5343cc V12 developed from the stillborn XJ13 Le Mans project car. The new engine was both effortlessly powerful and eerily refined. "The turbine-like smoothness with which the engine provides a sustained shove in the back is almost uncanny, the more so when one accelerates hard in top gear without even a gearchange to interrupt one's headlong dash into the distance" (Autocar 5th July 1973).Footnote: For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760
