Work completed in October 2021, at a cost of £5,421.27The bodywork also received professional attention and, as you can see, the results are impressiveFresh MOT until October 2022, issued with no advisoriesThis is a super example of the desirable Audi Quattro 20v (RR) and one of only 295 right-hand drive, 20V RR models produced. It's an original, UK-supplied, right-hand drive car and was first registered on 24/02/1990. It's on offer from 19 years current ownership, has had just three former registered keepers and the current indicated mileage was 84,500 at the time of cataloguing.It's finished in Panther Black with a classic Dark Grey and striped 'Quattro' cloth interior and having had some recent attention to the bodywork, it really looks impressive. Mechanically, it's fresh from recommissioning by a known Audi Quattro specialist and that work included rear brake pads, rear wishbone bushes, oil cooler, gearbox mounts, cam belt, water pump, air mass motor, engine oil, oil filter, ABS repair kit and a new fuel tank (£400).This work was completed in October 2021 at a cost of £5,421.27. A fresh MOT until October 2022 was issued with 'No Advisories'. From our vendor;"Originally purchased in 2002 after a long hard search looking at a few earlier examples that left a bit to be desired, and later reconsidering my strategy by deciding to buy the very best 20v I could find and afford at the time.The car is original and unmodified as the photos indicate and throughout its ownership I have always been keen to maintain this. It's been an absolute joy to own and drive over the years having been dry stored covered and never having seen snow, rain or a supermarket car park in 20 years of ownership.In 2018 and to date (due to the pandemic), a sympathetic overhaul was embarked upon with many replacement parts being fitted with the idea of owning the car well in to the next decade but a change in circumstances mean, sadly, the car is now for sale".The rare 20v (RR) is regarded as one of the most desirable and fastest appreciating modern classics in the market today and this smart Panther Black example surely warrants consideration.

Presented in exceptional condition, this Esprit V8 GT is an example of the pinnacle of Lotus' supercar development. Just two owners in its whole life, our vendor for the last fourteen years and just 27,223 milesSuperbly presented in Norfolk Yellow, virtually unmarked and very impressiveAccompanied by all the MOTs from 2004 to 2017 supporting the exceptionally low mileageThere are a number of invoices from Christopher Neils of Northwich, Lotus and TVR specialists for service work and parts, our client having been a Jaguar Engineer for years would have been very comfortable with minor service worksService notes for every year 2004, 05, 07, 08, 09. Last major service in 2014 including cambelt etc. at 26,693 miles by Christopher Neil Ltd costing £2,097. Another large invoice for £1,456 in 2016Our client has reached an age whereby he isn’t able to enjoy it any more, and whilst he had always sworn that he would never sell his beloved Lotus, that time has come Lotus began delivering the Esprit in 1976 and the final examples of the 10,500 units built didn't roll out of the production halls until 28 years later in 2003. Its extreme, yet classical and timeless wedge shape was based on design proposals by Giorgetto Giugiaro and didn't undergo a major facelift until 1988. The low vehicle height of just 1.12 metres is also extreme and makes it appear incredibly fast, even when stationary. Most Esprits were fitted with 4-cylinder engines with a 2 or 2.2-litre displacement but from 1996, the Esprit GT could also be ordered with the newly developed 3.5-litre twin-turbo V8 engine and approximately 1,500 people availed themselves of this opportunity. The Esprit V8 uses Lotus' own Type 918 V8 all-aluminium 90° DOHC 4-valves per cylinder, flat-plane crankshaft engine, sporting two turbochargers. The engine was detuned from a potential 500bhp to 350bhp and has proved to be durable and reliable. This car has real supercar performance, sprinting from 0-60 in just over four seconds and powering on to a top speed of 175 mph. Our vendor acquired this Esprit GT around fourteen years ago as the car's second owner but he had known of it from new. Enjoyed occasionally, particularly in the evening around the B roads of North Wales, it was his passion, a car he intended keeping forever, it was never planned to move it on. However, as with us all, time waits for no man and so he has sadly enjoyed his last trip and wants somebody else to enjoy this immaculate Lotus from now on. It's superbly presented in Norfolk Yellow, virtually unmarked and very impressive having covered only 27,223 miles from new. The car's history file is well compiled and contains all the MOTs from 2004 to 2017 supporting the exceptionally low mileage. There are a number of invoices from Christopher Neils of Northwich, Lotus and TVR specialists for service work and parts and our client, having been a Jaguar Engineer for years, would have been very comfortable with minor service works. There are service notes for every year 2004, 05, 07, 08, 09, an invoice for the last major service in 2014 including cambelt etc. at 26,693 miles by Christopher Neil Ltd costing £2,097 and another large invoice for £1,456 in 2016.Anybody in the market for an Esprit GT will probably have looked at a few and realise that to 'travel hopefully is often better than to arrive' however, that is not the case here. This car is simply exceptional.With its low mileage, summertime hue and showroom looks, this classic Esprit would fit into any collection of special motorcars, but it would seem a shame not to go on enjoying it around the fast sweeping A-roads of North Wales, as our vendor has done these many years. .SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: ESPRIT GT V8Year: 2001Chassis Number: SCCDA08211HC10244Registration Number: Y828 FNHTransmission: ManualEngine Number: LL918000130821 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 26000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

Elegantly sculpted, final iteration of Ferrari's long-serving Testarossa.Stunning and super rare, one of only 41 UK RHD manual box 512 examples producedSuperbly presented in Rosso Red with an excellent Crema leather interiorShowing just 46,200 miles and on offer from long-term ownershipSupplied with a comprehensive history file with some invoices and old MOTsRegistration KU 18 is not included in the sale of the carThe third and final evolution of the latter-day Testarossa, the F512M (for 'modificata') represented the best Ferrari could offer in terms of a pure physical V12 experience, thanks to its manual gearbox, a power output increased to 440bhp and its rear mid-engine configuration. A styling overhaul introduced exposed, rather than retractable headlights, redesigned front and rear bumpers and new round tail lights. Interior quality was also improved and with just 500 examples produced, the 512M is a genuinely sought-after and rarely come to market.This lovely UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 512M is one of only 41 produced for the UK Market and was supplied on the 5th of June 1995 by Lancaster Ferrari of Colchester, finished in Rosso Red with Crema leather. Just 501 examples were made in total for this run-out 512 model prior to the arrival of the front engine 550 Maranello. This example has been with its current dealer proprietor since September 2003 and has been cossetted by him during that time and stored in a de-humidified environment during that period. It has been used sparingly in the last 10 years and clocking up just 300 miles! The car comes with its original Tan Leather bound book pack containing the owners handbook, service book and various other marketing aids along with a JVC owners manual. The service book details 8 services by Lancaster, 2 by Foskers of Brands Hatch and the balance by our vendor. In with the history file is an invoice by the current custodian for £2,255 for the all-important cam belt replacement in August 2018 and a full service along with an MOT.Within the separate history file are some old invoices and no less than 21 old MOT Certificates helping to confirm the cars mileage. Supplied with the car is the original Tool Kit encased in its Tan Leather holdall and also a full dust cover. Very rarely do these cars come to market and this one is fresh after 18 years and is sure to generate good interest. Please note that the registration KU 18 shown in the photos is no longer with the vehicle and it now shows as M527 SGYAlthough the 512M was the final development of the Testarossa, it was the distillation of a decade of small improvements and had obviously been to the gym, lost a bit of weight, toned those biceps and had a bit of a facelift. The one dimension that hadn’t changed was East to West and the 512 still looked a fraction wider than your average US aircraft-carrier, however, despite its white line-straddling profile, it feels nimble and civilised to drive and not at all intimidating. Its looks have remained dramatic, however, and still generate the open-mouthed disbelief that was much in evidence in Paris in 1984 when we got our first look at the Testarossa, but whilst the prospect of owning a top-of-the-range, mid-engined, Continent-munching Ferrari seemed a dream back then, this superbly presented, low mileage, impeccably maintained 512M is sensibly guided and eminently attainable. SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: F512 MYear: 1995Chassis Number: ZFFVA40C000101873Registration Number: TBCTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 39339Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 46205 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Cream LeatherClick here for more details and images

A rather special F1 Spider in Bianco with substantial upgrades.An amazing UK-supplied, right-hand drive F1 gearbox example that’s been extensively upgradedUpgrades include a Stradale gearbox, engine re-map, performance exhaust with 'De-Cat' pipes, F430 alloy wheels, aluminium brake calipers etcNow finished in Bianco with full black leather and showing 40,900 milesGood history file including all the usual manuals and invoices detailing recent expenditureOffered at a guide that seems great value for money when you consider the investment made into this carThe 360 Spider is Ferrari's twentieth road-going convertible and the 360 was always designed with a Spider variant in mind. Since removing the roof of a coupé reduces the torsional rigidity, the 360 was built for strength in other areas and Ferrari designers strengthened the sills, stiffened the front of the floor pan, and redesigned the windscreen frame. The rear bulkhead had to be stiffened to cut out engine noise from the cabin. The convertible's necessary dynamic rigidity is provided by additional side reinforcements and a cross brace in front of the engine. Passenger safety is ensured by a strengthened windscreen frame and roll bars. The use of light aluminium throughout results in the Spider weighing in only 60 kg (130 lb) heavier than the coupé.Offered here is an amazing UK-supplied, right-hand drive F1 gearbox example that’s been extensively upgraded. Upgrades include a Stradale gearbox, engine re-map, performance exhaust with 'De-Cat' pipes, F430 alloy wheels, aluminium brake calipers etc. During the upgrade process, the decision was taken to finish the car in Bianco which is complemented by a full black leather interior and the odometer now reads 40,900 miles.There are numerous invoices on file detailing the extensive work and expenditure this particular 360 has had lavished on it over the years. Quite simply we encourage interested parties to come and see this example at the NEC to fully take in and understand the value for money on offer here.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 360 F1 SPIDERYear: 2002Chassis Number: ZFFYT53C000127177Registration Number: MD51 CYOEngine Number: 65614 Odometer Reading: 40900 MilesMake: Interior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

A rare, UK-supplied, right-hand drive example of Porsche's legendary 356C.A rare UK-supplied, right-hand drive example of the legendary 356CBuilt on the 20th of January 1965 and UK-registered on the 1st of April 1965Originally finished in Bali Blue with black leather and registered to AFN Ltd. as a demonstratorOptioned from new with an OAT gauge, oil pressure gauge, St Christopher medallion, radio and speakers, lap seat-belts, Hella fog lights and headrestsThe second owner was a Mr H J Garland who owned the car right through until 2019, using it frequently up until 1980 when it was dry storedEngine sent to Germany for a rebuild at this time. Only around 400 miles sinceRepainted Orange and then latterly treated to a coat of Ford Anchor BluePurchased by our vendor in 2019 and gently recommissioned; fuel system, brakes, electrics, ignition and all fluids Supplied with a Porsche CoA and the original number plate will remain on the vehicleWidely acknowledged as Porsche's first venture into motor manufacturing, the 356 was a lightweight and nimble rear engined, rear-wheel-drive, two-door sporting car available in hardtop coupé and open configurations. Over a 15-year production period, the 356 evolved from an aluminium bodied coupé with an 1100cc air-cooled flat-four engine, to a proper sports car with a 2,000cc four-cam Carrera engine producing 130 bhp.At first glance, the 356C, introduced in mid-1963, differed little from the prior 356B since it continued to use the T-6 body type which had arrived in 1962. Porsche, however, brought the 356 concept to its zenith with the 356C, which was available in coupe and cabriolet form. The new 356 also benefited from the addition of Dunlop four-wheel disc brakes as standard, a higher-lift camshaft for the 1600cc engine, new flat-face hubcaps, and deeper bucket seats. These seats came courtesy of Porsche's acquisition of Reutter, which included the future Recaro subsidiary. 356 production peaked at 14,151 cars in 1964 which was the first year the new 911 model went on the market. Porsche did, however, continue to sell the 356C in North America through to the end of 1965. In 2004 the US magazine 'Sports Car International' named the 356C number ten on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960s. Today the Porsche 356 is a well-regarded collector's car that has stood the test of time and worldwide, thousands of 356 owners maintain the tradition, preserving their cars and driving them regularly.This particular car, MMU 95C, is a rare example indeed being a UK-supplied, right-hand drive car manufactured on the 20th of January 1st 1965 and registered on the 1st of April 1965. It was originally finished in Bali Blue with a Black leather interior and registered to AFN Ltd. as a demonstrator, and there is a sales record from AFN confirming the details. Chassis 131867 / Engine P.813597 / Ignition/door key K302 / Gear lock Key FE63 and Glove Box Key GZ365. The AFN stock number was 4.027.135 with registration number MMU 95C. The car was optioned from new with an outside air temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, St Christopher medallion on the glove box, radio and speakers, lap seat-belts, Hella fog lights and head rests.The second owner was a Mr H J Garland who owned the car right through until his passing in 2019 and used it frequently up until 1980 when it was stored on blocks but regularly had the engine turned over. Mr Garland also decided to have the engine rebuilt at around the same time and this was sent off to Germany to be done and the car has only covered 400 odd miles since it was returned and refitted. He had the car painted Orange during his ownership and then latterly back to Ford Anchor Blue, an attractive hue which it still displays today. There are details within the file of work carried out by AFN, relating to services and some body repairs, (front near side wing ) the requirement for which is detailed in a book “From Chain Drive to Turbocharger, The AFN Story” by Dennis Jenkinson, page 176 at which point the Porsche was being driven by John Aldington of AFN when the accident occurred.Since our vendor has owned the car (2019) the 356 has been totally recommissioned to including the whole fuel system, brakes all refurbished with calipers and pads being replaced and all fluids changed . Electrically the car has been gone through making sure all items work and the ignition system has been overhauled at the same time. It's supplied with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and the original number plate will remain on the vehicle.This little Porsche has lived a life. 55 years with its second owner, a couple of colour changes and numerous adventures during the Sixties and Seventies, however, gently recommissioned and with a fresh MOT it's now ready to live some more..SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 356CYear: 1965Chassis Number: 131867Registration Number: MMU 95CTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 8135971Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 50672 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

Rare and collectable, this genuine Turbo 'S' is 1 of 77 and is on offer from a meticulous private collector.UK-supplied, right-hand-drive, indicating just 89,186 miles (atoc), in great conditionFinished in Guards Red with a smart interior in black leatherette with black and white, pin-stripe velourInterestingly fitted with electric, heated comfort seats and the M44.51 engineImpressive maintenance record with much expenditure over the years. Recent new batterySupplied with its original book pack including the stamped service record, tool kit, tyre inflator, a large folder of invoices, old MOT Certificates and its current MOT valid until 28th January 2022A rare, collectable, genuine Turbo S,one of 77, on offer from a meticulous private collectorThis UK-supplied, right-hand-drive Porsche 944 Turbo 'S' is classically finished in Guards Red and was first registered on 1st August 1988. The smart interior is in black leatherette with a black and white, 'pin-stripe' velour and interestingly, the 'Sport' seats were deleted in favour of electric, heated comfort seats. Another interesting option on this Turbo S is that the car was ordered with a request for the M44.51 engine as opposed to the M44.52 that would normally have been fitted to this model year, perhaps opting for the earlier unit without the spring-loaded cam-belt tensioner. Today, this special and rare 944 Turbo S presents beautifully with a detailed maintenance record. Indicating just 89,186 miles (at the time of cataloguing) with just four previous owners, it's clear to see by looking through the history folder that this example has been very well maintained over the years. Indeed, the previous fastidious owner, bought the 944 in 2017 and sent the car to the local Porsche main dealer in Wolverhampton for a full check over and the subsequent work included fitting the correct M030 sports shock absorbers, a full brake service, a short shift gear lever kit and an uprated gear linkage with a final invoice for £2,700.00.A little later, the car was taken to the Porsche specialist CMS in Telford for further maintenance and this included a new throttle position sensor, cable and fuel pump. To enhance the car's performance, a refurbished KKK turbocharger was fitted along with an ECU update taking the power output up to a claimed 290bhp.In May 2021, the current owner sent the 944 to Midland Classic Restorations and spent £1,400 on new oil, filters, routine maintenance etc (invoice and details on file) ensuring that the car is ready for its next owner to use and enjoy. Offered with its original book pack including the stamped service record, the tool kit, tyre inflator, a large folder of invoices, old MOT Certificates, its current MOT valid until 28th January 2022 and other related documents. Only 1,000 examples of the Turbo 'S' were built in total with just 77 in RHD and only a handful in Guards Red so this is a very good opportunity to take ownership of an interesting and rare Porsche from the late 1980s. Revered for excellent handling, these transaxle models are becoming increasingly collectable and are difficult to source in such fine condition.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 944 TURBO SYear: 1988Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ95ZJN101634Registration Number: F21 HGSTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 47J01444Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 89186 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Only 4,600 miles from new, impeccable service history, recent health check and immaculate throughout.Presenting superbly in Carrara (marble) White with a black interior and lightweight bucket seatsProducing some 370bhp from its 3.8-litre flat sixShort-shift, 6-speed manual gearbox, mechanical LSD, Porsche Torque Vectoring systemJust 4,600 miles only from new and two previous keepersOriginally supplied by Porsche Centre Aberdeen who took care of the first service in December 2017 at 1,412 milesSecond service by Porsche Centre Solihull in August of this year at 4,553 miles (£1,399). At the same time the car had a full health check and passed with flying coloursSupplied with a complete book pack and stamped service bookThe Boxster Spyder is the most extreme version of Porsche’s 981 Boxster, lighter by 30kg, longer by ten millimetres and lower by 11mm when compared with a Boxster GTS. The front end is more aggressive in its design and there are distinctive streamlined humps behind the roll-over hoops (a tribute to the 718 Spyder of the 1960s). Suspension is the 20mm lower, passive Sports set-up that is also a no-cost option on the Boxster GTS. There is a Sport Chrono package as standard, the most notable benefit of which is the provision of dynamic transmission mounts. On the rear axle is a mechanical LSD (22 per cent locking under power and 27 per cent on the overrun), which is part of the Porsche Torque Vectoring system. The Spyder’s 3.8-litre engine is a mildly detuned version of the one found in the Cayman GT4 and the 991 Carrera S. Power is 45bhp up on a Boxster GTS and torque is up a healthy 37lb ft, taking the total to 310lb ft. The steering rack is slightly quicker (taken from the 911 Turbo) and the steering wheel is 360mm in diameter, like the GT4 and GT3 RS. Finally, the look is not forgotten with the addition of a very elegant but sporty one-piece double-dented rear hood.This jaw-dropping example has covered a mere 4,600 miles from new and has had just two former keepers with our vendor having the car since July last year and only looking to move it on due to problems with personal mobility. Originally supplied by Porsche Centre Aberdeen who took care of the first service in December 2017 at 1,412 miles with the next service being completed by Porsche Centre Solihull in August of this year at 4,553 miles all receipted for £1,399 At the same time the car had a full health check and passed with flying colours.Finished in Carrara (not Carrera) White with a Black interior, this fabulous 981 Spyder comes with a full Porsche presentation pack including Service Book, Owners Handbook, Communication Management Book and a Radio Equipment reference leaflet. Being the later Spyder, it has the improved convertible top which takes but a very short while to drop down as opposed to the original jigsaw puzzle of the earlier cars. With the 981 benefitting from the 911's 6-cylinder powerplant, performance is on a whole different level making it a true drivers' car capable of speeds up to 180 mph. This may be one of the best examples available on offer currently and with just 4,600 miles from new, very collectable.

A truly fabulous example of the SuperSport Coupé from long-term ownership.This 1986 SuperSport is a C16 (UK-supplied) right-hand drive car smartly presented in black with a grey leather and pinstripe cloth interiorSupplied new by Dick Lovett specialist cars of Marlborough to its first owner, a Mr David Greening of Cheltenham on the 01/01/1986Owned by our vendor for an incredible 32 years and just three previous keepersSupplied with the original book pack containing the Owners' Handbook and stamped Service Book with ten stamps, 11 old MOT Certificates and some early invoices for work undertakenLast serviced in September 2020 at Brookfield Garage, specialist Porsche Centre, StowmarketThese are rare 911s and, when fitted with the 5-speed G50 gearbox, are real drivers' cars. At this mileage, in this condition and with excellent provenance, this example could well turn out to be a very sensible investment.Development of the Porsche 911 Targa proceeded in line with that of its closed coupé cousin, the most notable advances immediately prior to the manufacture of this 1986 model having included the introduction of the 3.2-litre engine for 1984. Although it remained an air-cooled 'flat six', the '3.2' was 80% new and incorporated an effective cam-chain tensioner and associated lubrication system that at last addressed a perennial 911 shortcoming. With 230bhp on tap, the new 'boxer' motor endowed the Carrera with a stunning level of performance, the bald statistics being a 0-60mph time of 5.3 seconds and a top speed of 152mph. Although it enjoyed a 52 horsepower advantage, the Turbo was only marginally faster, having a top speed of 157mph, while most considered the normally aspirated 911 Carrera easier to drive. For the increasing number of customers that coveted the Turbo's distinctive 'wide body' look but did not need its marginally superior performance, Porsche introduced the SSE package, also known as the Supersport, which could be specified for other models in the 911 range. In addition to the wide body, the SSE (option code M491) included the Turbo's spoilers; suspension; four-piston brake callipers; 16" forged alloy wheels; and low-profile tyres. Only 75 right-hand drive examples were delivered to the UK making this model very rare indeed.Looking very smart in Black with a classic eighties 'pinstripe' interior, this is one of those 75 right-hand drive examples and is on offer from 32 years long-term ownership, one of the family! It was supplied by Dick Lovett Specialist Cars of Marlborough to its first owner, a Mr David Greening of Cheltenham on the 1st of January 1986 and had two further keepers until 1989 when our vendor became the last owner. The car has been garaged throughout this period, apparently never been taken out in the wet and has been well cared for both mechanically and aesthetically.D540 UOD is supplied with a complete book pack containing its handbook and the service book displaying ten stamps, the last being in September of 2020, completed by Brookfield Garage a specialist Porsche Centre in Stowmarket. To back up the service book there are a number of old invoices and 11 old MOT certificates within the file. This is a really desirable 'M491' in a great colour and with lots of provenance. The 911 'Turbo-look' was mid-eighties era-defining and this rare example, sensibly guided, will reward any inspection.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 3.2 SSE COUPEYear: 1986Chassis Number: WPOZZZ91ZS100849Registration Number: D540 UODTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 63G01254Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 70454 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black/Grey PinstripeClick here for more details and images

UK-supplied to the first of just two owners covering 9,130 miles between them and serviced only at Porsche main dealers.A facelift Carrera 2 supplied by HR Owen Hatfield in Arctic Silver to the first of just two registered keepersWith a larger 3.6ltr engine than the earlier 996 model with updated lights and bumpersAluminium touches on the handbrake lever and Tiptronic selector as well as Porsche-branded stainless-steel door entry guardsThe odometer reading of 9,130 miles (atoc) is complemented by a service history at only Porsche main dealersThe history file includes purchase paperwork, correspondence and invoices totalling more than £6,000The original owner’s book pack also accompanies the car, including PCM manual, tracker handbook and Porsche assistance handbookPresented to auction with a fresh MOT, two keys, aforementioned detailed history file and now ready for its next adventure.The 996 is the internal designation for the Porsche 911 model manufactured and sold between 1998 and 2005. On its debut, the 996 featured the most significant changes to the Carrera model since its 1963 introduction, namely the water-cooled engine replacing the previously air-cooled unit. Progressively stringent noise regulations, environmental concerns, a higher expectation for refinement and a high-performance, four-valve per cylinder engine made the switch necessary. Other changes included a sleeker body with a more steeply raked windshield and a redesigned interior. The performance characteristics remained superb with reliability at its core. The Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2001 bought the most significant changes to the 996. Inaddition to a more powerful 3.6 litre engine and styling changes to the existing model range, therewere two new models – the C4S and Targa. Visually, the main change to the Carrera 2 and 4 was to the front wings and lights, incorporating those from the Turbo model which was introduced in 2001. This gave it a noticeably different front-end look to the Boxster, as it was a common comment that they looked too similar. The front and rear bumpers were modified to give a ‘skirt’ effect around the bottom edges, giving them a slightly more aggressive appearance. Engine capacity was enlarged from 3387cc to 3596cc and there was a resulting power increase from 300bhp to 320bhp at 6800rpm. Maximum torque was up from 258ft/lb at 4600 to 273 ft/lb at 4250rpm. Supplied by HR Owen Hatfield in Arctic Silver with black leather interior to the first of just two registered keepers who between them have covered some 9,130 miles, at the time of cataloguing, and returning to Porsche main dealers for servicing.

A beautiful 356C Coupé presenting well after a restoration in the US and significant further investment with UK marque specialists.Stunning, US-delivered, left-hand drive 356 C Coupé restored in Tennessee from 2014-17 with invoices totalling over $31,000Superbly finished in its original striking paint colour of Sky Blue with a well detailed tan leather interiorAfter an engine issue, our vendor invested a further £25,000+ with a highly regarded UK marque specialist to have the car right up to standardAccompanied by a detailed history file including COA, US restoration invoices, invoices for the engine rebuild and further overhaul by UK marque specialistsNow beautifully detailed, mechanically sorted, absolutely on-the-button and ready for the next chapter Offered here is a beautiful US-delivered, left-hand drive Porsche 356 C which according to the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity was manufactured in August 1963, finished in Sky Blue and fitted with engine number 820059. It appears that at some point in the cars history, as with many 356s, the engine has been changed with a period-correct unit. We are informed that the car was subject to a documented restoration in Tennessee between 2015-17 and invoices amounting to $31,000 relating to this are in the file. It was refinished in its original paint colour of Sky Blue and fitted with a nicely detailed Tan leather interior.After being imported to the UK, the 356 developed an engine issue and our vendor took the decision to send the car to a highly regarded UK-based, Porsche 356 specialist who commenced a schedule of works to have this example just right, both mechanically and aesthetically. Further invoices within the file document an engine rebuild and mechanical overhaul addressing steering, suspension and braking systems along with another visit to the paint shop for a fresh coat of Sky Blue, bringing this 356 close to this expert's acknowledged high standards (only a full in-house restoration would meet the full standards). As such, this example is now beautifully detailed, mechanically sorted, absolutely on-the-button and ready for the next chapter.Accompanying the car is a history file including the aforementioned restoration invoices with a full breakdown of all work completed, the current V5c and other related documents. On test the car fired into life with ease, sounded healthy and performed well.In summary, this is a great opportunity to take ownership of a Porsche 356 in left-hand drive, its purest form, in a striking colour combination with recent care and attention from the UK’s leading marque experts. An attractive and characterful classic that sits just right, is on its toes and ready to be enjoyed.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 356CYear: 1963Chassis Number: 126301Registration Number: LKK 529BTransmission: ManualEngine Number: TBCDrive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: TanClick here for more details and images

A UK-market (C16) supplied ‘Sport’ model, in a great colour combination with good history.On offer from the Estate of the late David Ham, the very well-respected Jaguar enthusiast and gentleman racerSought-after UK ‘Sport’ model which came with Fuchs alloys, front lip spoiler, 'whale-tail' rear spoiler, Bilstein Sport shock absorbers and Sports seats, plus spec’d with a sunroof, rear wiper and passenger wing mirrorRecipient of a top-end engine rebuild within the last 10 years, accompanied by lots of paperwork for maintenance and parts, supporting the indicated 102,000 miles (still just 2,500 per year)Only two owners in the last 27 years, previous owner kept the car 16 yearsIn rare Wine Red Metallic paintwork with a Pasha fabric interiorA fantastic entry into the enjoyable world of 911 ownership.The arrival of the 3.0-litre 911 SC in the 1978 model line-up brought some semblance of order to the Porsche range after the mid-seventies. The middle of this decade was a period epitomised by the once-maligned "impact or big bumper' models, and when launched, the SC looked modern, clean and fresh in comparison to the dated overall appearance of the original 911, now over a decade old. With new and innovative design features like the reflective red strip between the tail-lights with PORSCHE capitalised across it, the '78 cars looked altogether sharper.According to Porsche Club GB, the 911 SC is a "landmark 911" because it was the first Porsche model developed to appeal to a wider market than just existing 911 enthusiasts. It is the model that launched the 911's reputation for excellent durability and build quality. Two factors above all else contributed to that reputation - the use from 1976 of a fully zinc coated steel bodyshell and the adoption of a normally aspirated version of the Turbo's more robust 3.0-litre aluminium engine. The earlier 2.7-litre unit had been recognised as being at the limit of its development and the new Type 930 engine reset the design parameters for the flat-6's development potential. The move to an aluminium engine was to regain case reliability, something missing for many years with magnesium. Combined with the well-proven Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and a 5-speed 915 gearbox it became a very flexible, torquey powerplant. Originally power output was 180bhp, later 188bhp and then by MY 1980 it was increased to 204bhp (with improvements in economy), good for 146 mph.In 1984, due to enduring demand for the 911 (the 928 still having made no impact on 911 sales) the SC’s replacement, the 911 3.2 Carrera, was introduced, but not before SC sales totalled a remarkable 58,914 cars.The car presented here is a UK-supplied RHD 1980 Porsche 911 SC Coupe. It is a UK ‘Sport’ model, this being the most sought-after variant with the larger Fuchs alloys, front lip spoiler, 'whale-tail' rear spoiler, Bilstein Sport shock absorbers and Sports seats. This particular car was also spec'd with the options of a sunroof, rear windscreen wiper and passenger wing mirror.According to our vendor, the car has had just two owners in the last 27 years, being bought by David Ham in 2012; and knowing good cars like he did, this example is likely to have many redeeming qualities. It has benefited from a top-end rebuild and there is lots of evidence of servicing/maintenance over the years. There are some small areas of minor corrosion (below o/s headlight, along seam between scuttle and o/s front wing and small bits in door shuts) but the important areas, we are informed, are all sound.Frequently offered at a tempting guide price, the SC model has been somewhat of a ‘sleeper’ 911 but is now tipped by many to gain the recognition it deserves, particularly the well-specified 'Sport'. Whilst this classic 911 would benefit from some light cosmetic attention, it could undoubtedly be enjoyed as it is, with many years of classic 911 motoring ahead of it. SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 SCYear: 1980Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ91ZBS100400Registration Number: WTT 835Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 63D6858 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

A striking example of the "original" 911 Turbo with just 32,340 miles, remarkable.A cracking example of the earlier 4-speed 3.3-litre, flat six 911 TurboFinished in Guards Red with a striking black and red Leather interiorJust 32,340 miles from new with its four keepers, the third for 34 yearsSupplied with its original complete book pack, lots of old MOTs and tax discs along with some old invoicesWith 930 Turbo prices still gathering pace. This could prove to be an enjoyable and sensible investmentMuch of the Porsche 911's development had resulted from the factory's racing program, and it was the period Group 4 homologation rules, which required 400 road cars to be built, that spurred the development of 'Project 930' - the legendary 911 Turbo. In production from April 1975, the Turbo married a KKK turbocharger to the 3.0 litre Carrera RSR engine, in road trim a combination that delivered 260 bhp for a top speed of 155mph. In 1978 the Turbo's engine was enlarged to 3.3 litres, gaining an intercooler in the process; power increased to 300bhp and the top speed, of what was the fastest accelerating road car of its day, went up to 160mph. But the Turbo wasn't just about top speed, it was also the best equipped 911 and amazingly flexible, hence only four speeds in the gearbox, being capable of racing from a standstill to 100mph in 14 seconds! The Turbo's characteristic flared wheel arches and 'tea tray' rear spoiler had already been seen on the Carrera model while the interior was the most luxurious yet seen in a 911, featuring leather upholstery, air conditioning and electric windows. More refined than hitherto, yet retaining its high performance edge, the Porsche 911 Turbo sold in the thousands, becoming the definitive sports car of its age.This excellent original, right-hand drive 1986 Porsche 930 Turbo was supplied new by Porsche AFN Guildford originally as a demonstrator and then onto its first owner, a Mr Keith Ross of Croydon on the 6th of June 1985. The second owner, a Mr Peter Simon, then became its custodian in November 1985 and enjoyed the car until May 1986 when Mrs Ann Sterling took over the reigns and held them until September 2020 an incredible 34 years. Classically finished in Guards Red with a rather striking Black and Red Leather interior, this stunning 911 Turbo has travelled just 32,300 miles from new making this car super desirable. It has been stored on and off for many years and has documentation to prove this and the MOT history shows 23 old certificates documenting the miles this special car has travelled. Also within the file are 15 old tax discs, a complete book pack and a selection of old invoices detailing servicing and maintenance over the years. Our vendor, who runs a specialist body repair shop, had the car totally recommissioned including all new discs and pads, fresh fluids and a set of Pirelli period tyres fitted making this Turbo spot on and ready for sale. Despite no legal requirement, it will come to the sale with a fresh MOT just prior to it being delivered for peace of mind.This super low mileage Turbo represents a wonderful opportunity to own one of these iconic German coupes and with the market for 930 Turbos continuing to gain strength we are delighted to offer this spectacular classic supercar that could well prove to be a sensible and enjoyable investment.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 TURBOYear: 1985Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ93ZFSOOO333Registration Number: B556 CVHTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 67F00360Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 32340 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black and Red LeatherClick here for more details and images

UK-supplied and 1 of only 100 right-hand drive Turbo Cabriolets; just 46,000 miles with a comprehensive history file. The 944 Turbo Cabriolet combined the Turbo S' 250bhp engine with the strengthened cabriolet body built by ASC at WeinsbergOnly 625 were built, with just 100 examples produced in right-hand drive for the UK, Japanese, Australian and South African marketsA very original UK/C16 example, with a fully verifiable 46,000 miles, in standard specification, with a full-service history, all old MOTs, a complete book pack, two keys and virtually every invoice from newMajor service on the 20th October 2021 including belts, all fluids changed and a comprehensive inspection by a well-respected Porsche SpecialistFrom 17 years long-term ownership, a simply lovely example of one of the rarest and most sought-after Porsches from the 1990sFollowing the international success of their nimble 924, Porsche designed an all-alloy, 2.5-litre, inline-four for their new 944 which they planned to introduce in 1982. Their talented engineers were able to produce a very smooth running four-cylinder engine by utilising two counter-rotating balance shafts running at twice engine speed. These carry eccentric weights which produce inertial forces that balance out the unbalanced secondary forces, all a bit technical but the result is a large four-cylinder engine that feels as turbine-smooth as a six. Cosmetically, the 944's bodywork was revised with wider wheel arches (similar to that of the 924 Carrera GT), a fresh interior and upgrades to the brakes and suspension. With greater visual presence and the performance to match, better handling, stopping power and more creature comforts, the 944 was a natural step forward. A 'turbo' version of the 944 was always on the cards, and the forced-induction boosted the 2.5-litre engine by a healthy 60bhp, necessitating an upgraded clutch and gearbox. The chassis was further developed and thicker anti-roll bars and four-pot brake calipers were fitted to deal with the significantly increased performance. Externally, a smoother nose panel and a larger rear spoiler distinguished it from its lesser siblings. In February 1991, the final year of 944 production, Porsche released the 944 Turbo Cabriolet which combined the Turbo S' 250bhp engine with the strengthened cabriolet body built by the ASC-American Sunroof Company at Weinsberg. Compared to the Coupe, the Cabriolet's windscreen is lowered about 6cm and raked back to reduce the wind noise when the top is down. Porsche initially announced that 600 would be made, but ultimately 625 were built, with just 100 examples produced in right-hand drive for the UK, Japanese, Australian and South African markets. These are rare cars, produced for just one year, with only 32 examples believed to still reside in the UK.This particular example is a UK-supplied, matching numbers car, presented in Graphite Metallic over a perfectly contrasting Dark Blue leather interior. It has covered just 46,500 miles from new which, over its 30 years of life, means that it has averaged just over 1,500 miles per year.The car is supplied with a fully detailed service history, with its most recent service carried out by ‘Zuffenhaus Porsche’ in October 2021, less than 250 miles ago. In addition, all the original manuals are present, alongside countless invoices and previous MOTs all helping corroborate the indicated mileage and emphasising how this lovely Porsche has been cared for on a 'no expense spared' basis.On offer from a private collection, this beautiful example presents delightfully both cosmetically and mechanically. With this era of Porsche on the rise, this rare 944 Turbo S offers a phenomenal driving experience, coupled with what may well be a worthwhile investment.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 944 TURBO CABRIOLETYear: 1991Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ95ZMN130478Registration Number: J950 OPMEngine Number: 47M01186 Odometer Reading: 46000 MilesMake:Click here for more details and images

Delightfully presented 280SL 'Pagoda' from long-term ownership.Original UK RHD car with an extensive history file including nearly 40 older MOT Certificates and detailed service records supporting the indicated mileage of 84,754With its last owner for almost 24 years, during which time the service history was fastidiously maintained including an engine and gearbox rebuild by renowned specialistsClassically presented in Midnight Blue with a matching factory hardtop and recently renewed navy blue soft topRecent new interior in beige which included a rear seat option being fittedFreshly serviced including plugs, leads, points and tappets.All the qualities that made Pagodas so desirable in their heyday remain today - chic styling, Teutonic build quality, and predictable handlingThe Mercedes-Benz 280SL 'Pagoda' (W113) was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production through until February 1971 before being replaced by its successor, the entirely new and substantially heavier R107 350SL. Over the years, the W113 had quietly evolved from a nimble 'sports car' into a comfortable 'Grand Tourer' and was usually equipped with four-speed automatic transmission and air conditioning. The final evolution of the Pagoda was the 280SL, launched in November 1967 with a host of technical improvements, and is now seen as the most refined iteration of the W113 Series with its robust new seven-bearing, 2778cc, M130 engine developing 170bhp and perfectly suiting the automatic transmission. By the time production ceased in March 1971, some 23,885 had been made making the 280SL the most popular of all W113 variants.The fabulous 280SL on offer here is an original, UK-supplied right-hand drive car elegantly presented in Midnight Blue with a matching factory hardtop and recently renewed Navy Blue soft top. The interior has recently been superbly retrimmed in Cream leather with Light Biscuit carpets piped in cream and, unusually, it's been fitted with a rear seat (California-style) where the parcel shelf was.First registered in 1968, it has been enjoyed by just three owners prior to our vendor who acquired the Mercedes in 1998 and during those 23 years has fastidiously maintained it including an engine and gearbox rebuild by well-regarded specialists. The current indicated mileage of 84,574 is supported by detailed service records and nearly 40 older MOT Certificates. We understand that it's recently been serviced including plugs, leads, points and tappets. The Cherished Registration number 86 BPO will remain on the car.With decent performance and excellent brakes, these cars are totally happy in modern traffic making them a perfectly usable Classic in the true sense of the word.

UK-supplied to a foreign head of state for occasional London use. 5,037 miles complemented by a main dealer service history.UK-supplied in Nautical Blue metallic paint with beige leather interior and registered on 16th November 1993Bought by a foreign royal family for use in London and subsequently garaged at a residence on the Kensington Palace Gardens estate until 2021Used sparingly for 28 years the odometer reading is 5,037 (atoc) at the time of cataloguingIntroduced in 1993 as the 600SL the six-litre V12 engine topped the range, it was then re-named the SL600 in 1994As part of a substantial UK-based fleet and used sparingly, regular servicing was not necessary and the service book has ten Mercedes-Benz main dealer stampsFully serviced in October 2021 at a Mercedes-Benz main dealer with new tyres fitted to refurbished alloy wheelsSupplied to auction with factory hard-top, history file and MOT valid until September 2022 this 600SL may well be unique with its low mileage and royal provenance.In 1989, Mercedes Benz introduced the fourth generation SL model, the R129, which was supplied in Europe with several engine options and named accordingly; the basic model was the 190hp three litre, inline six cylinder 300SL with 12 valves, and the 228hp three litre, inline six cylinder with 24 valves, known as the 300SL 24. The specification was high with electric windows, mirrors, seats and roof. The R129 model was the first convertible/roadster to offer the automatic roll-bar deployment in event of rollover, although the motorist could also manually raise and lower the roll-bar should he choose to thus facilitating the clean look of the R129 without compromising the occupant's safety. The 1993 introduction of the 389hp, six-litre V12 600SL engine topped the range, later to be re-named the SL600 in 1994. Production numbers for the UK-supplied 600SL are difficult to ascertain but the consensus is that a small percentage of the global production were registered new in Britain and online resources show some 180 examples are either taxed or SORNd currently.UK-supplied in Nautical Blue metallic paint, coded 929U for the upper coachwork and coded 929O for the lower panels, in keeping with the two-tone paintwork of the era. The factory hard top is painted in the same shade as the upper body. The beige leather interior (275A) has front seats with orthopaedic backrests with the car sporting other extras of the day. Registered on 16th November 1993 with the licence number “L441 VLH” and supplied for the use of a foreign head of state and his family when in residence at their London base. We are led to believe the car’s ownership was subsequently transferred to a trusted aide in 2011, in whose London based collection the car resided until 2021. At the time of consignment a yellow badge displaying a crown, calligraphed “KPG”, the number 20, KPG in bold, the car’s registration number of “L441 VLH” and the year 2021 was affixed to the windscreen, which we are informed is a parking permit for the Kensington Palace Gardens estate.We have offered to auction a number of UK-supplied cars delivered to international royalty that have been used at their pleasure whilst visiting London, and driven relative to the car’s “newness” in period. It is often the custom to transfer the car’s ownership to trusted aides and family friends after a couple of years. Befitting a car that was hardly used but owned by an immensely wealthy visiting royal family it was serviced accordingly and the ten main dealer Mercedes-Benz stamps are in accordance with usage, whilst the MOT history show incremental mileage increases, with the last MOT certificate issued on the 1st September 2021 at 5,037 miles. It was noted that the tyres are to showing signs of age and the car is supplied to auction with new tyres and refurbished alloy wheels. In October 2021 a Mercedes-Benz main dealer service is planned with the instruction to rectify any issues possibly arising from occasional, but regular, use of a 29-year old car in the intervening years since delivery.Presented to auction in superb order with factory hard-top, smart mohair soft-top in dark blue, history file complete with service book and recent 2021 service information. Whilst we acknowledge that the R129 was produced in a great number and the market is familiar with higher mileage standard examples of the model we must note that this car is perhaps unique in mileage, specification and royal provenance. We conclude by challenging the market to finding another example of the range topping 600SL with royal provenance and low mileage. SpecificationMake: MERCEDESModel: 600SLYear: 1993Chassis Number: WDB1290762F083498Registration Number: L441VLHTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 12098122002821 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 5037 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Beige LeatherClick here for more details and images

With this incarnation of the S500, Mercedes paid obsessive attention to tranquillity whilst driving, giving a driving experience like no other. Never has a driver felt so remote from the outside world, and yet remained connected to the car to such a degree.The 2006-2013 (W221) S-Class is no different. For example, it was available with infra-red night vision, seats that massage their occupants and a pre-collision assist system of a type that’s taken almost a decade to become commonplace on other cars.After reports of dubious build quality linked to the previous S-Class, Mercedes went to town on, not only the design of the interior, but also its fit and finish. There was also a larger boot than before (think estate car space in a saloon body) and there’s enough room in the back seats to stretch out, particularly if you choose a long-wheelbase car.The engine range at launch included three petrols, the pick of them undoubtedly being the 388bhp, 5461cc V8 mated to a 7-speed gearbox offering a 0-62mph time of just 5.6 seconds, as fitted to the 2006 Mercedes-Benz S500L for sale here. It has covered just over 6,500 miles from new with its two owners and has visited Mercedes for at least two services. Classically painted for a Mercedes, this impressive yet somehow still discreet limo-esque car is now superfluous to our vendor’s needs as he spends most of his time living overseas. This is a lot of car for its guide price, astonishing really.  SpecificationMake: MERCEDESModel: S500Year: 2006Chassis Number: WDD2211712A066266Registration Number: WM51 WMMTransmission: AutoEngine Number: 27396130047194Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 2509 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

A beautiful, right-hand drive, 280SL Pagoda 2+2 on offer from 40-years of private ownership.Highly sought after right-hand drive, automatic 280SL Pagoda from 40 years caring ownershipData suggests that less than 10% of Pagodas manufactured were finished as California Coupes with occasional 2+2 seatingPresented in sparkling Silver Metallic with a matching factory hard-top, red leather seats and red carpetsSubject to a detailed and beautifully finished, award-winning restoration (MB Club "Best car on stand" – 2007)Comprehensive history file with buff log-book, a wealth of old MOTs and invoices for service and maintenance Presented to the auction after a light recommission by CMC in Bridgnorth and a fresh MOTOffered from a deceased estate at a sensible guideThe Mercedes-Benz 280SL (W113) 'Pagoda' was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production through until February 1971 before being replaced by its successor, the entirely new and substantially heavier R107 350SL. Over the years, the W113 quietly evolved from a nimble 'sports car' into a comfortable 'grand tourer' and was usually equipped with four-speed automatic transmission and air conditioning. The final evolution of the Pagoda was the 280SL, launched in November 1967 with a host of technical improvements, and is now seen as the most refined iteration of the W113 Series with the robust new seven-bearing, 2778cc, M130 engine developing 170bhp and perfectly suiting the automatic transmission.Offered here is a lovely, UK-supplied, right-hand drive 280SL 'Pagoda' California Coupé 2+2 finished in sparkling Metallic Silver with a colour matching hard-top, red leather interior and matching red trim. Our vendor's late husband purchased this Pagoda in 1981 and in the mid ‘80s some remedial works were completed to keep the car at its best. The Pagoda was enjoyed frequently until 1999 when the decision was made to instruct a full restoration by Shropshire-based Mercedes specialist , Classic Affair, and this process was documented, stage by stage, with supporting photographs. As a Mercedes-Benz Club UK member, our vendor's husband attended many events showing his Pagoda and such was the quality of the restoration that the car won several awards including the M-B Club " Best car on the Stand, 2007".Dry stored correctly over the years, the restoration has mellowed nicely and the Pagoda still presents very well. After a small period of time off the road, the decision was made to have the car checked over and MOTd by the highly-regarded classic specialists, CMC, before being presented for auction at the Classic Motor Show.Accompanying this venerable Mercedes is a comprehensive history file containing the aforementioned photographic record of the restoration, MB Club UK awards, the 'buff' logbook, a wealth of old MOTs, the current MOT and V5C and other related invoices and paperwork from over the years.A right-drive 280 SL Pagoda is highly sought after and rightfully so, and this lovely example is offered at a very reasonable guide and is now ready for the next chapter after 40 years of caring private ownership.SpecificationMake: MERCEDESModel: 280 SLYear: 1968Chassis Number: 11304422000352Registration Number: TGY 280FTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 13098322000223 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 16756 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: RedClick here for more details and images

A very special motor car completed to 1953 Le Mans specification by Lloyd and Alan Allard.British motorsport legend, Sydney Allard, built his Allard Motor Company into a fabled British car manufacturer from pre-war grass roots motorsport and engineering in London in the late 1930sThis example (chassis #3408) is the only genuine Allard JR constructed by Allard Sports Cars Ltd (holder of worldwide trademark) Completed to 1953 Le Mans JR specification by Lloyd Allard and Alan Allard, grandson and son of the legendary Sydney Allard Completed in 2019 and a potential entrant to some of the most prestigious motorsport events in the worldDesignated with period and sequence-correct chassis number #3408 from Allard factory records Offered with FIA accreditation - certification at final stage (GB12826) and offered with V5 papers for road registration (169 UYH) JR is offered with an additional 3 speed Lasalle transmission. It is currently fitted with the 4 speed T10 Borg WarnerOffering superb value for money, this is an exciting opportunity to enter into the rebirth of one of the most celebrated manufacturers of the 1950sNB;-Please note that this is a VAT qualifying vehicle-Photo credit Matt HowellBritish motorsport legend, Sydney Allard, built his Allard Motor Company into a fabled British car manufacturer from pre-war grassroots motorsport and engineering in London in the late 1930s. Best known for his ‘J’ Series sports racing cars, Sydney achieved iconic status with the 1950 JR followed by the J2X and J2X Le Mans, utilizing V-8 engines from Cadillac and Chrysler, and finally the JR in 1953.The JR ed the field in American sports-car racing in the early 1950s, forcing major manufacturers such as Ferrari and Jaguar to take stock after a renowned East Coast Allard J2 won eight major races in a row. Carroll Shelby drove a J2 with great success, and the fundamental idea of mating a British chassis with an American V-8 engine inspired Shelby to further advance this hybrid concept in developing the Cobra, a fact he readily acknowledged.This new, genuine, Allard JR heralds the rebirth of the Allard marque in modern times over sixty years since the last car rolled out of the Clapham factory in 1959. Seven JRs (chassis number #3401 to 3407) were built between 1953 and 1956 with #3408 naturally given to this car by archivist and first grandson to Sydney, Gavin Allard.Chassis number #3408 is built very close to the specification of the 1953 Le Mans JR chassis number #3402 by Lloyd Allard, which ran in the 1953 24 Hours of Le Mans, and in doing so, is eligible for accreditation by the FIA. This opens the door to eligibility for racing events around the world. With its removable FIA safety cage and other safety features, this JR could therefore be eligible to race at prestigious international events including the Le Mans Classic, the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique and Goodwood Revival.At its heart is a 5.4-litre (331cu.in) Cadillac OHV V-8 engine sourced from a K2 with an original Edmunds intake manifold and dual Carter carburettors, mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. Clothed in hand-formed all-aluminium bodywork and classically finished in British Racing Green, this JR was constructed using many correct, original Allard components in addition to the engine. These Allard parts include a Marles steering box, Lucas dynamo, a modified JR De Dion axle, front spindles and hubs, brake backplates front and rear, and an Allard speedometer and tachometer. With over two decades of experience in motor racing, motorsport fabrication and restoration of historic Allards, this example was largely constructed by master builder and second grandson Lloyd Allard, with assistance from his father (Sydney’s son) Alan, himself retired from a motorsport career.Historical input and technical basis of the JR design were driven by the original designer Dudley Hume. At the age of 93, Hume supplied his experience, support, and some 120 drawings to this project which he held close to his heart. David Hooper, erstwhile chief engineer and draftsman at Allard Motor Company also gave support and advice. With Hume’s original and contemporary input, this team joined forces to produce a superb car of stunning quality throughout utilising the same construction methods and materials as the 1950s JRs.This remarkable motor car was completed in 2019 and prepared by the second and third generations of the Allard family working together with the original Allard designer and chief engineer – all dedicated to seeing this cherished project reach an enviable conclusion. The JR is ready to be campaigned by its first owner in historic racing, indeed this JR has seen further development this year, visiting various circuits including Silverstone, Goodwood and Prescott to further develop the car.On and off the track, this would be an exciting opportunity for any historic racer or vintage sports car enthusiast as an investment into the rebirth of one of the most celebrated manufacturers of the 1950s. A potential gateway to some of the most prestigious motorsport events in the world and offered at an extremely competitive estimate, this really is a one-off, exciting opportunity that represents superb value for money with a lovely story behind it.

Charismatic little red TD, family owned with just two former keepers.The TD-Series Midget was the first MG sports car to feature independent double-wishbone front suspension and rack and pinion steering and the new model also boasted a hypoid-bevel back axle, a scuttle reinforcement hoop and twin leading-shoe front brakesPowered by the proven 1250cc XPAG engine with a four-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg Dating from early 1950, this is one of the very few cars that were UK-supplied from newThe subject of an older restoration and converted to take TF chrome wire wheelsReally well-presented in Red with a smart Beige hood (piped in Red) and matching Tonneau coverLovely interior in red leather with a Rexine-covered dashboard, Bakelite switches, and an MG sprung steering wheelRecently returned to use and now running and driving well,The MG T-series, for most enthusiasts, epitomises the spirit of the Abingdon marque, delivering a blend of lively performance, vintage styling and above all, the sort of wind-in-the-hair driving experience one expects from a traditional British sports car. The original T-series Midget was launched before the war, evolving into the short-lived TB and TC models, before the TD was announced in November 1949, bringing with it the first major attempt at restyling since the end of WWII. With a track widened by some five inches to improve interior space, along with new independent coil spring front suspension and rack and pinion steering (sourced from the Y-type), the TD was sold with steel disc wheels in place of the previously used wire-spoked items and bumpers (with over-riders) were standard equipment as well. The interior was revised to make it more habitable but retained the flavour of the original T-series, with folding windscreen, full instrumentation, and a minimum of superfluous decoration. Powering the TD was essentially the same XPAG 1250cc engine in use since 1939, but an increased compression ratio from 1950 saw power up from 55bhp to 60bhp. With the sports car movement in the United States in full swing, it wasn't surprising that the vast majority of TD production crossed the Atlantic.This lovely TD is an original, right-hand drive, UK car that has had three former owners (one our vendor's late husband). It has been restored at some point in the past and presents well in Red with Silver wire wheels. The dark red leather on the seats looks original as do the steering wheel, instruments and switchgear, however, the Rexine covered dashboard  and door cards look fresh. The chromework is OK but may need attention soon and the engine bay looks tidy. The soft top and tonneau are in cream and, unusually, have been piped in red. Both look to be in excellent condition.Having been out of action for a while the little MG has recently been returned to use and is now running and driving well. We hope to have access to the history file shortly and can establish full details of the restoration.SpecificationMake: MGModel: TD MIDGETYear: 1950Chassis Number: TD0457Registration Number: TSJ 714Transmission: ManualEngine Number: XPAG/TD/B89000 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 25556 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Red LeatherClick here for more details and images

A splendid example of the revered sports roadster, with a well documented history and in an enviable condition. Regarded as one of the most sought-after pre-war sports carsA highly thought-of example, it was despatched from the Blackpool factory on the 1st July 1937 and delivered through Henlys of London, to a Mr HeadExported to the US in 1955, it would spend the next 55 years in California in dutiful ownership, most prominently by Elliot A. Weiner, who kept the car for four decades and regularly displayed it at local showsAccompanied by a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, copies of assorted SS100 Registers and the original owner’s instruction bookSeveral display plaques can be seen under the bonnet, as well as a competitor’s plaque from the 1956 Stockton Road RacesThe recipient of some cosmetic restoration in 2013 and a mechanical overhaul in 2019 by UK specialists Davenport CarsFeatured in the SS100 Registry since 1971A splendid example of the revered sports roadster that gave rise to Jaguar Cars, it would be an ideal entrant for the Mille Miglia Retro or similarProfessional images to follow soon.In September 1935 SS launched their most advanced and significant new car, the first to carry the name Jaguar, though then not as the brand but as a model name - the 'SS Jaguar 2½-litre Saloon'. Standard manufactured a new chassis to SS design and a Standard 6-cylinder engine was re-engineered by Harry Weslake to an overhead valve design, which Standard then manufactured specifically for SS.At this time, the company also produced their first true sports car named the 'SS Jaguar 100'. Beautifully styled in the manner of its SS90 predecessor, the newcomer employed a shorter, 102"-wheelbase chassis and a revised version of the 2,663cc Standard six which, equipped with Weslake's overhead-valve cylinder head and breathing through twin SU carburettors, now produced 104bhp.Although a fine touring car, the SS100 was marketed as primarily for competition work. Its first major success came early, if somewhat unexpectedly, when Tommy Wisdom, crewed by his wife, won the arduous International Alpine Trial in 1936, beating Bugatti and bringing the fledgling marque to the attention of the Continental public. This would be the first of many successful rallying forays, including class wins in the RAC events of 1937 and 1938, and the Alpine (outright) again in 1948. Around 198 2½-Litre and 116 of the later 3½-Litre cars had been made by the time SS 100 production was prematurely ended by the outbreak of war.The car presented here is a 1937 SS100 2½-Litre (chassis #18116) despatched from factory on the 1st July 1937 and was delivered via Henlys of London to a Mr Head. Like many SS100s, in 1955 the car was exported from England to the USA by Don Schoenert of North Hollywood and would spend the next 55 years in California. Mr Schoenert later sold the car to Bud R Fisher of Burbank and by the time of the earliest Classic Jaguar Association SS100 register, published in 1971, it was owned by Elliot Weiner of Escondido and described as being in ‘restored condition in white with chrome wheels’.As is the case with so many SS100s, the original engine was replaced at some stage in its life but the one currently fitted is a correct 2½-Litre, SS stamped unit. Whilst in Mr Weiner's hands the car was a regular show contender and in 1981 achieved a 1st place at the San Diego Concours d'Elegance. Several show plaques are displayed under the bonnet along with, rather intriguingly, a competitor's plaque from the Stockton Road Races in 1956.The recipient of some cosmetic restoration in 2013 and a mechanical overhaul in 2019 by UK specialists Davenport Cars, who also utilised their popular 5th gear addition and a new set of Blockley tyres on the car, this highly thought-of example, now set-up by marque experts, is said to drive exceedingly well, with a strong responsive engine breathing through a vocal exhaust!Representing a rare opportunity to acquire a well-documented example of the model, accompanied by a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, copies of assorted SS100 Registers and the original owner’s instruction book, 18116 would make an excellent tour/rally car and is eligible for a wide variety of the most prestigious international historic motorsport events, including the Mille Miglia.The SS100 was one of the fastest and best-handling sports cars of its day, as its competition record pays witness to - the quintessential pre-war sporting Jaguar. 1 of only 198 examples built, this is real opportunity to acquire a very special motorcar.SpecificationMake: SSCModel: JAGUAR 2½-LITRE ROADSTERYear: 1937Chassis Number: 18116Registration Number: TBCClick here for more details and images

Coventry. After years of general use and enjoyment, a restoration was the order of the day. Sensibly uprated during the rebuild process, this Fixed Head Coupe was fully refurbished with the more enthusiastic driver in mind and entrusted to Thruxton Jaguar Specialist, Jestyn Thomas, to work his magic. The list of documented works include a gas-flowed and ported head, fully stripped and rebuilt engine incorporating all new bearings, chains, replacement oil pump and a lightened and balanced flywheel, a 6-branch Haywood & Scott manifold and exhaust and looking more than up to the job with triple ram-pipes on the intake side. With little use in recent years, it is suggested that with a little recommissioning that there is still plenty of enjoyment to be had from this timeless classic that can more than hold its head up on the open road.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: E-TYPE SERIES 1 3.8 COUPEYear: 1964Chassis Number: 861524Registration Number: 395 KUETransmission: ManualEngine Number: 5824-9Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 11146 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: GreyClick here for more details and images

On offer from The Devon Collection.This Series 1, matching numbers, E-Type was built to special order for Hugh John Vaughan Campbell, the 6th Earl of Cawdor, leaving the factory in November 1965The specification at that time included a balanced engine, Koni dampers, Competition Wire Wheels, Restall Reclining Seats and a Webasto Roof which later proved to be the wisest addition of all, saving the Earl’s life!After leaving Browns Lane, the next stop was Abbey Panels where 1E21103 was to become the second of, possibly three, ‘Quad Headlight’ E-Types producedSome 18 months later, a severe accident saw the lucky Earl ejected through the aforementioned Webasto roof with the damaged E-type being placed in storage where it remained for almost 40 yearsUpon discovery, a complete rebuild and overhaul followed bringing this rare E-type back to life to be used extensively for touring and general rallies in the following years,Having formed part of The Devon Collection in recent years, a change in direction by the present custodian provides a rare opportunity for a Jaguar enthusiast / Classic Car Collector to acquire part of E-type historyIt's accompanied by an interesting history file detailing the cars noble past, a Heritage Certificate and freshly issued MOT CertificateYour early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to acquaint yourself with this very rare JaguarA very well known E Type with an interesting past that is extremely well documented. Built to order for the 6th Earl of Cawdor, Hugh John Vaughan Campbell , the Fixed Head Coupe’s first journey after rolling off  the production line towards the end of 1965, was to Abbey panels where the modifications were carried out culminating in this rather intriguing quad headlight arrangement, which upon closer inspection is actually very pleasing on the eye. We are lead to believe that two other examples were produced around the same time but there whereabouts remains unknown. After quite a severe accident in its early days, the car was stored until discovered some years later at which time another trip to Abbey Panels ensued with the damaged panels being rectified as required.  In more recent years, the E Type has formed part of The Devon Collection sitting amongst other notable examples and as such has had little use so a small amount of recommissioning may be required to return this very interesting and desirable ‘design exercise’ to the road. Certainly a head turner to the uninitiated but also a desirable and much sought after Jaguar that would be welcomed at almost any ‘classic’ event or would be equally at home residing in a Jaguar lovers collection.

A really lovely XJS 'Celebration, only two owners and just 15,000 miles.A late production 'Celebration' from the last year of productionA beautiful combination of Ice Blue over an Oatmeal leather interior with Burr Elm woodworkJust two owners from new with just less than 15,000 miles showing on the odometerMost recently serviced on 18/08/2021 at 14,800 milesSupplied with an original book pack with the service record containing 15 stamps and its original Bill of Sale for £36,910 from January 1996Launched in September 1975 as a replacement for the E-Type, the XJS could only cheat time for so long and, in 1991, parent company Ford thoroughly reworked the luxury Grand Tourer at a cost of £50 million. Incorporating some 40 percent new panels, the rejuvenated model range sported a revised grille, headlamps, tail-lights, bumpers and rear wings. Its cabin, meanwhile, gained a new walnut facia and improved sports seats. The new version was powered by either a punchy straight-six (3980cc) or a soporific V12 (5343cc) engine; the former DOHC unit developed some 223bhp and 283lbft of torque. Featuring a five-speed manual transmission as standard, the 4.0-litre XJS could also be had with a four-speed automatic gearbox. Capable of over 140mph, the model proved to be a refined and relaxing drive, and production continued until 1996. The 'Celebration' was the final iteration of Jaguar's XJ-S (later XJS). Its unique specification was in recognition of 60 years of the Jaguar brand and included chromed rear view mirrors and headlight surrounds; 'Aerosport' diamond-cut alloy wheels, steering wheel with wood sections top and bottom separated by leather on the sides and airbag, the wooden selector lever for the automatic transmission, the black handbrake lever with full leather cover, a Jaguar "leaper" embossed into the leather in the upper part of the seat backs, and contrasting piping around the seats and boot cover. This particular example of the 4.0 Celebration was registered on the 1st of January 1996 to its first owner who passed away in 2006 at which point the car became the property of the gentleman’s step son and has been owned by him ever since. Finished in Ice Blue Metallic with a complementing Oatmeal Leather interior, this very special car has travelled a mere 15,000 miles from new and has been cossetted all its life. It's supplied with an original bill of sale from the first owner (£36,910), the original handbook and stamped service book showing evidence of fifteen stamps with the last service being carried out at 14,800 miles on the 18th of August this year (2021).The alloy wheels have just been refurbished and are wrapped in, as new, rubber and the car is presented in superb condition overall with working Cruise Control, Air Conditioning and Electric Seats. Where else can you find a sub-15,000 mile 4.0 Celebration? This elegant Jaguar will not disappoint and is sure to grace any collection. The Celebration brochure from 1995 states "A car offering more excitement, distinction and value for money than ever before", equally true today.

An amazingly original, long-wheelbase Jaguar XJ12 Series 2 with just 9,500 miles from new and an impeccable history.Quite possibly the lowest mileage, most original XJ12 LWB Series 2 example available anywhereJust 9,500 miles from new, supported by an extensive service history, previous MOT Certificates, plus detailed hand-written notesAlways privately owned by genuine Jaguar enthusiasts, with known continuity of ownershipAccompanied by its original Bill of Sale, period invoices, handbooks, service book, and maintenance charts, all in the correct, undamaged Jaguar walletThe ultimate example in the model range with its silky smooth 5.3-litre V12, it was as fast as it was stylishOne of the few and desirable carburettor examples made during the first year of Series 2 productionElegantly finished in Dark Blue with Dark Blue leather, this XJ is the epitome of 1970s luxury motoringThe long wheelbase Jaguar XJ12: the rare Executive model and the reserve of CEOs and cabinet ministersBy the mid-to-late 1960s, competition for the lucrative luxury car market was led by Jaguar with the successful Mk10, Mk2, S-Type and 420 saloons. However, it had been clear for some time that if Jaguar were to remain at the top of this sector into the 1970s and beyond there was a pressing need to develop just one saloon to replace all of the cars in the existing range. To succeed the new car would need to be very special indeed. It was - the all-new XJ range made its debut in 1968 at London’s Earls Court Motor Show. The car was an immediate success with the public overwhelmed by this new large luxury Jaguar. However, perhaps of greater importance, was the attention from the motoring press. It is doubtful that any car had ever received such unqualified praise from the press as the XJ did.So overwhelmed by the XJ range were the motoring press that Jaguar themselves produced a 21-page booklet which they called ‘Praise indeed’ which contained almost 100 thoroughly positive press comments. Almost overnight from its launch the XJ became and remained until production ended, the ‘must have’ luxury car.1973 saw the introduction of the improved Series 2 range, luxuriously appointed and with a ride quality unequalled in its day, it’s no wonder that it won the accolade ‘The Best Car in the World’. The new model had more power, featured a raised front bumper and shallower grill, the interior was redesigned, the ventilation improved, and the car benefited from more rear leg room.By the mid-1970s, the most popular XJ was the 4.2 version with automatic gear box. The ultimate model though was the silky-smooth, exceptionally quick and quiet to drive XJ12 with its 5.3-litre engine.Jaguar enthusiasts agree, that to find an XJ12 which is totally period-correct in original condition with exceptionally low mileage, is very rare indeed. Due to the 70s fuel crisis, most of them were company-owned and covered big mileages. However, here we have one. The car presented here, quite astonishingly, has covered just 9,500 miles from new, with lots of supporting evidence and clear continuity of ownership, this is a collector’s dream.On the 14th September 1974, the first owner of ‘LFM 405N’ travelled the 10 or so miles from his home to ‘James Winsor & Son’, Jaguar dealers on Nottingham Road in Mansfield, to collect this XJ12 that he had specially ordered in Dark Blue with Dark Blue trim. The original Bill of Sale (present in the history file) shows that the car was supplied with Tinted Glass and a Radiomobile 108 SR Radio/8 Track player, which remains in place today, and front fog and spotlights. A supplementary invoice details Jaguar chrome side trims being supplied and fitted. Period hand-written details also explain that Jaguar chrome-plated wheels, door mirrors (period Paddy Hopkirk types), four door-mounted speakers, an electric aerial, and underseal/early cavity rust-proofing were to be added.LFM 405N was first registered the day before its collection, the 13th September 1974, with the owner’s cherished registration number.Servicing was carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and much of it done by the supplying dealer, as illustrated by invoices in the history file. Attached to some copies of those invoices are very neat and precise handwritten instructions to the garage, plus further clarity about what work had been carried out. The first owner went on to keep his beloved XJ12 for over 30 years. The last MOT that he had carried out in 2004 shows that the car had covered just 3,998 since new. All of the previous MOTs are also in the file, many carried out by the supplying dealer, and help verify the ultra-low mileageIn May 2005, LFM 405N was acquired by its second owner, a Jaguar enthusiast. Although registered to an address in Birmingham, shortly after it was acquired it was shipped to Southern Ireland to be added to a car collection. In 2006, LFM 405N, still with the first owner’s cherished registration number, was driven to Enniskillen in Northern Ireland to acquire a UK test certificate to enable it to remain on its UK plates. The mileage towards the end of 2006 recorded on that test certificate had risen to just 5,614.In 2011, LFM 405N returned to the mainland, still on its private plate, and an MOT in the file records the mileage at 7,691. In 2013 and with 7,766 miles, it was acquired from one of the country's leading prestige car dealers, by its third owner and, around this time, the current registration number was issued.The third owner, in his mid-sixties when he bought the car, is an extremely well-respected Hong Kong-based architect/interior designer, who the Chinese press call ‘Hong Kong's Father of interior design'. LFM 405N was used as his car on the rare occasions that he was in the UK working on some of London most prestigious design projects. When it was not in use, it was laid up under covers in private London garaging and in the care of the owner’s UK representative. During his 5-year ownership, the XJ12 covered just a further 1,500 miles or so before the owner now in his seventies returned to Hong Kong on a more permanent basis.The last owner of LFM 405N only sold it as he had the opportunity to purchase a Series 2 Coupé, that being his dream car for a number of years.Our vendor now, also an avid Jaguar collector, is sad to part with such a special car which has form part of his eclectic collection, however, the realisation that ‘you can’t keep them all’ affects even the most hardened collectors.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XJ12L LWB SERIES 2 AUTOMATICYear: 1974Chassis Number: 2R3312BWRegistration Number: LFM 405NTransmission: Automatic Engine Number: 7P.10318-SA Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 9500 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

The first Lagonda sold to the public, as confirmed by the AMOC Registry, and showing just 4,300 miles since a complete rebuild by Aston Martin.This car’s AMOC Register entry reads: “First real production car, delivered February (1979)”First registered on the 8th February 1979 with the penultimate owner, prior to our vendor, owning the car for 30 yearsClothed in striking 'razor edge' bodywork designed by William Towns with a luxurious interior of selected Connolly hides and WalnutDocumented restoration by Aston Martin Works in 1986 and further enhanced by our vendor since purchase in 2017With an odometer reading of 4,294 miles (atoc) and believed to have featured in the Lagonda brochure, this car is of serious consideration.With the success of its sports coupe and volante roadsters, Aston Martin periodically revived the Lagonda name seeing it applied to a stretched, four-door AM V8 in the mid-1970s, a mere handful of which saw production. When the concept re-emerged as an entirely new product type, it was the sensation of the 1976 London Motor Show. Clothed in striking 'razor edge' bodywork designed by William Towns - the man responsible for the DBS - the new Lagonda saloon, designated 'Series 2', used the same long-wheelbase V8 chassis as its immediate predecessor, while breaking new ground in terms of digital LCD instrumentation and touch-button switch gear.The aftermath of the mid-1970s fuel crises and issues with this advanced concept would delay production until April 1978, by which time a simplified arrangement had been adopted. The interior though, was every bit as luxurious as the exterior was futuristic, featuring selected Connolly hides, Wilton carpeting and Walnut veneer, all hand-finished by skilled craftsmen in the best Aston Martin tradition. In the Lagonda, Aston's well-proven 5.3-litre V8 employed a quartet of twin-choke Weber 42DCNF carburettors and produced a maximum of 280bhp at 5,000rpm with 320lb/ft of torque available lower down the range. A Chrysler Torqueflite automatic gearbox was the standard transmission. More than 17' long, 6' wide and weighing two tons, the Lagonda was an imposing sight from any angle, yet despite its bulk proved capable of reaching 60mph in 7.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 145mph. Production got into its stride towards the end of 1978, with one car per week being completed at the Newport Pagnell factory. The Lagonda was face-lifted in 1987 as the Series 4, acquiring a slightly softer, less hard-edged look and continued in production until May 1990 by which time a total of 638 had been built, including 98 Series 4 models. Even today, almost 30 years after its sensational debut, there are few cars that can match the visual presence of the Aston Martin Lagonda. One of the very first production cars completed, chassis number '13010' is an example of Towns' design in its purest, original form. Formerly registered 'YHX 722T', it is the second Lagonda produced for retail sale. The chassis numbering sequence commenced with '13001', and of the preceding nine cars, some of which were prototypes, only five survive. This example's AMOC Register entry reads: "First real production car, delivered February (1979)". It's believed that this car also featured in official Aston Martin sales literature of the period.'13010' belonged to the previous owner for 30 years and has covered only 4,294 miles since a complete rebuild by Aston Martin in March 1986, invoices and correspondence on file. Stored for the fourteen years until purchase by our vendor in 2017, the car required extensive re-commissioning with bills on file amounting to some £30,000. Accompanying paperwork consists of a V5 registration document and the aforementioned bills from Aston Martin relating to the 1986 rebuild and a fresh MOT is planned prior to auction.SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: LAGONDAYear: 1978Chassis Number: L00R13010Registration Number: WWH 111Transmission: AutomaticEngine Number: V/540/3010 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 4294 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Stunning, previously-restored and backdated TJ with TG 12/50 bodywork.Previously restored with replica four-seat Cross & Ellis bodyworkUsed sparingly and mechanically excellentRebuilt steering box - a must on any 12/50 of the periodBackdated aesthetically to represent a TJ, but retaining its TG underpinningsA seminal model for the Alvis Car Company, the 12/50 was introduced in 1923, and lasted in production through various revisions until 1932. Featuring a number of inline-four engine configurations ranging from 1.5 to 1.65 litres in displacement, the 12/50 in all its forms quickly earned itself a reputation as a fantastic car for the discerning motorist, with its speed and reliability boosting sales significantly in period.Initially replaced in 1927 by the inline-six engined, 1870cc 14.75hp, the subsequent depression going into the 1930s forced the need for a cheaper car with a reputation for reliability, and Alvis re-introduced the 12/50 in late 1930. These cars - the so-called ‘revival’ TJ and TL models - featured a harmonically-balanced crankshaft, coil ignition, lower springs and a taller body, enabling them to be quickly identified by knowing enthusiasts.This particular ‘revival’ 1931-registered TJ 12/50 has undergone significant restoration in the past, having started out life as a fawn-coloured Cross & Ellis - bodied two-seater with red wire wheels and a red leather interior. Delivered new to a Mr Frank Wood of Birmingham by Birmingham’s Alvis agent Frank Hallams, the car ‘disappeared’ for numerous years, before turning up in a rather sorry state in Helensburgh, having been apparently converted into a ‘special’ and partly restored.The owner then chose to completely re-body the car and back-date it to an earlier ‘TG’ four-seat model with replica Cross & Ellis bodywork, in order to benefit from both a level of weatherproofing and also the earlier, arguably prettier bodywork with its shorter radiator. This work was carried out to the highest standard by well-known specialist Richard Breese, who also thoroughly overhauled and reconditioned the chassis and running gear. New white metalling and a crank re-grind was carried out by Cotswold engineering, and a big power 1645 head fitted to the engine, along with a new manifold, stainless steel exhaust and a rebuilt Marles steering box.The original Fawn-over-red colour combination was replaced with matching dark blue bodywork and upholstery, with the trim work being carried out by Anne Taylor including a full dark blue interior, matching tonneau cover, full wet-weather hood and side screens.Particularly detail-oriented viewers will also be delighted to note that the instruments are period-correct, and the car has the correct Hare mascot.Regularly maintained by Red Triangle and presenting in very good condition throughout, this is a wonderfully attractive and useable example of the ‘revival’ special Alvis, which also benefits from an aesthetically-pleasing colour combination and backdated bodywork. An excellent collectors car that can be enjoyed year-round.SpecificationMake: ALVISModel: 12/50 BREESE BODIED 4-SEAT TOURERYear: 1931Chassis Number: 8978Registration Number: VC 8668Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 9914Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Blue LeatherClick here for more details and images

A lovely, low ownership, 1955 86" Series 1 fresh from a fastidious restoration. Superbly restored Series 1 from long-term ownershipOriginally supplied new to a farmer in Shropshire Underwent body off - nut & bolt restoration in 2018/20Our vendor believes he is the car's 4th owner and it appears to have been used lightly all its lifeThe indicated mileage when he bought it was 20,192 .(see MOT 2005/06). Current 24,572This is a really lovely Srs 1, properly recommissioned and delightfully presentedAs an engineering marvel, the Land Rover can still outstrip its modern counterparts, and the Series I rightly belongs in the Motoring Hall of Fame. Hugely successful globally, improvements were made throughout its long lifespan. In 1950, the lights were moved from a position behind the grille to protrude through the mesh and in 1952 a larger 2.0-litre petrol engine replaced the original 1.6-litre. The wheelbase was extended to 86 inches in 1955 to give the vehicle more stability and greater load capacity. The stronger, more reliable 2.0-litre petrol engine was standard until 1957.This venerable Series 1 is believed to have been originally supplied new to a farmer in Shropshire before finding a home, some years later, in Bromsgrove where it appears to have been renovated and resprayed in a green (not Bronze Green). It was then sold to a Mr Wyatt in Telford who owned the car for many years before old age meant it had to be moved on. It was purchased by its current owner, our vendor, in 2006 and he used it regularly but lightly, until the decision was made to fully restore the 'Landie' with the process starting in 2018.Our vendor has kindly provided us with a list of the work carried out (below) and invoices and full details are in the cars history file.;Underwent body off - nut & bolt restoration in 2018/20.Chassis stripped, repaired where necessary, powder coated.

The indicated mileage when he bought it was 20,192 (see MOT 2005/06) and the current mileage is 24,572 meaning that only 4,380 miles have been covered in the last 15 years.Often restored and rebuilt but rarely to this standard, this lovely 86" Series 1 is now ready to be enjoyed once again, be that at a local County Show or scattering the pheasants down a country lane.

A good example of an early 'Lights behind the Grille' Land Rover fitted with the correct 1.6-litre side-plate engine and just three owners in 72 years.Registered to the first of just three owners on the 30 November 1949Headlights under a mesh grille is a characteristic of early Land RoversThe early Series 1 80-inch Land Rover was fitted with a 1.6-litre side-plate petrol engineRestored in the early 2000s and finished in the correct shade of Bronze Green on the original chassis, now galvanisedFeaturing the correct pull-ring gearbox and a new bulkhead was fitted at the time of the restorationPresented to auction in good order with an odometer reading of 2,125 miles that has naturally gone “round the clock”In the aftermath of World War Two, Rover's chief engineer Maurice Wilks used a "demobbed' Willys Jeep around his farm in Anglesey and was impressed with its abilities. Eventually, it wore out and he was keen to replace it with a British vehicle, however, nothing remotely similar was available. Coincidentally, his brother Spencer, who was Managing Director at Rover, had reached the same conclusion as he struggled to get his Rover 10 to reach the more inaccessible parts of his estate on Islay. It was whilst the brothers were on holiday on their North Wales farm together, that the plan was hatched to produce a light agricultural utility vehicle in the style of Maurice's, fondly remembered, Jeep. They would have no idea that Maurice's resulting design would become an icon and launch a whole new industry sector. The vehicle appeared as the 'Land Rover' in 1948, and proved so popular with the military and the farming fraternity that demand massively outstripped supply. It had an 80 inch wheelbase and a sturdy box section ladder-frame chassis and the open back arrangement with three seats in the front was undoubtedly influenced by the design of the Jeep. As an engineering marvel it can still outstrip its modern counterparts, and the Series I rightly belongs in the Motoring Hall of Fame. Hugely successful globally, dozens of improvements were made throughout the long production run. The 'Holy Grail' for any Land Rover enthusiast is an early Series I identifiable by a number of visual clues including the headlights being behind the grille, no exterior door handles and a ‘side plate' engine. Initially registered on the 30th November 1949 to the first of just three owners, we are told by our vendor, a Land Rover fanatic, that the previous owner had known this Series 1 from new. In the early 2000s, it was restored over the original chassis which was shot-blasted and galvanised, a new bulkhead fitted and finished in the correct shade of Bronze Green. Such was the quality of the restoration that, in 2007, it was featured in the Land Rover Series 1 Club magazine ‘Legend’. Very few pre-1950 Land Rovers have survived, and fewer still have the period correct 1.6-litre ‘side-plate’ petrol engine and pull-ring gearbox still fitted. If we were to compare this Land Rover with an E-Type, it would be akin to the rare and desirable 'flat floor' and whilst we acknowledge that both offer different driving experiences, and values, they are an equal in historical importance. Finished in Deep Bronze Green with a new canvas ‘tilt’ and freshly serviced, it's ready for family jaunts and offered at a very keen estimate.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: SERIES 1 80"Year: 1949Chassis Number: R06104175Registration Number: KOA 632Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 06104070 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 2125 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Despite, or perhaps because of, being recognisably 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.Big enough for all the family plus a brace of Labradors and luggage in the back, long-wheelbase Defenders remain highly usable, long-term keepers thanks to their practicality and their personality. For decades, the long-wheelbase model has found favour with diverse buyers, from armies and police forces to country hotels and farmers. In more recent times, Defenders have transcended to a new and different level, with tuning companies adapting them into high-performance driving machines, still with all the innate character, but with some startling new additions!The Defender 110 presented here is quite exceptional. Starting life as a 2011 TDCi XS model with the four-cylinder, 2.4-litre Puma unit, this latest engine was coupled to a revised, quieter transfer case and a new six-speed manual gearbox, which allowed a longer top gear for quiet, efficient long-distance cruising.Enter 'LOF' of Leicestershire, a specialist Land Rover manufacturing business, run by a chap whose Land Rover knowledge is quite simply encyclopaedic. Renowned for their engineering prowess, they manufacture and sell superb, uprated clutches, brakes, and other components for Land Rovers. 'Attention to detail' dictate how they manufacture and this ethos we see with this vehicle project.LOF set about creating the ultimate 110, to showcase the best of their products, plus some other choice offerings, going down the route of installing, at the heart of this vehicle, an American V8 engine. Many Land Rover tuners have done this, but to no greater effect than we see here - a more adaptable, sophisticated Ford-based 5.0-litre 'Coyote' Gen 2, V8 engine was utilised. Burbling through an adjustable exhaust value system, it is as tuneful as you would want from such a special engine. Around this, the rest of the vehicle was enhanced with specialist, high-quality products to create a super-powerful, yet very driveable high-performance 4x4. Properly designed, built, tested, and even ceramic coated, this is one hell of a Land Rover.With an amazing specification sheet (full details on request), an exemplary finish and attention to detail, this 110, nicknamed 'The DefStang', offers presence and performance to rival that of the £143,370 G63 'G-Wagon' or indeed Land Rover's own £150,000 Defender Works V8 70th Edition.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: DEFENDER 110 COYOTE 5.0 V8Year: 2011Chassis Number: SALLDHMS7BA824808Registration Number: V8 VBNTransmission: Manual Engine Number: 101119033556244DTDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Bespoke Click here for more details and images

A very smart example of the legendary Defender 90 in the popular XS specification and fitted with a galvanised chassis.Supplied new to the first of just two former keepers on 28th September 2007Used on a private estate and then subsequently dry-stored until 2021The 2.4-litre turbocharged diesel engine is mated to a six-speed manual gearboxSpecification includes front electric windows and half-leather seating for fourThe two full seats in the rear are foldable, increasing the rear load bay significantlyFitted with limited edition SVX Anniversary dual tone alloy wheels and LED headlight kitBenefitting from a galvanised chassis and five recently fitted brand new tyresFreshly serviced with an MOT valid until July 2022 and an odometer reading of 48,500 miles (atoc)A good example of the eminently capable Defender 90 with XS trim for use in town or country.An icon for over 68 years, production of Land Rover's Defender ceased in January 2016 with more than two million models built since the original Series 1 arrived in 1948. Never has there been a car that has so captured the imagination of the world. Land Rovers have saved lives, won wars, delivered aid and hope, conveyed Kings and Queens and numerous Popes, ferried injured animals from the lowliest sheep to the proudest lion to safety. The Land Rover has conquered ravines, deserts and snow, broken records and along the way won the hearts of millions.For 2007, the Defender benefitted from a serious revamp with a new common-rail diesel EU4-compliant engine from the Ford Transit, a new six-speed gearbox, new facia, new seats and a heating and ventilation system that actually works. The XS specification from 2007 included electric windows to the front, half-leather seating and a fancier dashboard than standard. Land Rover had acknowledged that perhaps not all Defenders were destined for muddy tracks, rivers and moorland, and those drivers that did have a Labrador as a front-seat companion might find it convenient to open the passenger window at the touch of a button. The Defender 90 in XS specification offered perhaps the best affordable combination of drivability, passenger comfort for four and rear load capacity when required due to the foldable seats. The Defender 90 is also far easier to park than its longer wheelbase sibling, the 110, and the Defender is as popular in town as it is in the country.Supplied new to the first of just two former keepers on 28th September 2007, this Defender 90 XS was used on a large private estate for the first ten years or so before being dried stored until purchased by our vendor, the car’s third owner, on the 21st June 2021. Intended for country pursuits, our vendor swiftly concluded that the Land Rover was “too good” for his intentions and presents the car to auction with a fresh fluid service and five brand new tyres on SVX anniversary dual tone alloy wheels. Greater illumination is provided via the LED headlight kit, which are a welcome bonus compared to the original headlights. The odometer reading is some 48,500 miles at the time of cataloguing.Whilst there are fancier, and substantially more expensive, examples on the market, this unassuming Defender 90 XS offers a multitude of uses on either turf or tarmac at a sensible estimate.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: DEFENDER 90Year: 2007Chassis Number: SALLDVBS77A743193Registration Number: DY57 WXKClick here for more details and images

Fresh MOT valid until 22/10/2022 with 'No Advisories'. 2-door Classic Range Rovers are wholly endearing and always seem in fashion, blending in effortlessly whether at Goodwood or a local country show.NB: The cherished Registration Number HEG 8E does not form part of the sale.The no-nonsense Land Rover was an unashamed agricultural workhorse and, though fully roadable, was never intended to cosset its occupants. From day one, there therefore lay scope for the production of a sibling that combined the Landie’s much vaunted off-road prowess with a greater degree of on-road chic and comfort. Though various such plans were mooted in the 1950s, it was the emergence of the SUV market in America a decade later that finally convinced Rover to create such a model. Spen King famously oversaw the ‘100 inch Station Wagon’ project that was finally revealed to the world as the Range Rover in 1970 - a David Bache design that created a whole new genre of go-anywhere vehicles, which remains in full bloom today.Production of the first generation, two-door cars finished in 1981 and this is one of the last off the line, being first registered on 25/06/1981. It had a comprehensive body restoration and some mechanical work including a rebuilt overdrive about 10 years ago and today it's attractively presented in, period-correct, Tuscan Blue. What makes it really special however, is the fact that it was re-trimmed in the EXACT period-correct ‘teddy bear’ velours, now completely unobtainable and, even when our vendor was at JLR, it proved impossible to source any of this trim. The carpet has also been replaced with new old stock and the interior, consequently, has an almost new feel.This rather smart, early RR is on offer from five-years ownership and we understand has covered a genuine 68,000 miles. It featured extensively in the JLR 70th Anniversary celebrations at their experience centre in Spain and was part of the after-dinner parade and presentation. It was also invited to the Goodwood Speedweek Range Rover 50th celebration in 2020 and has been featured in many significant magazine articles, including Octane', Car and Land Rover Owner. It has a good history file including invoices totalling £8,729 for restoration work in 2011 and has a fresh MOT valid until 22/10/2022 with 'No Advisories'. 2-door Classic Range Rovers are wholly endearing and always seem in fashion, blending in effortlessly whether at Goodwood or a local country show.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: CLASSICYear: 1981Chassis Number: SALLHABV2AA111859Registration Number: RKP 608WEngine Number: 34140157F Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 68030 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: 'Teddy Bear' velourClick here for more details and images
