1997 Lti Fairway Transmission: automaticMileage:289378The London Taxi Company was a taxi design and manufacturing company based in Coventry, England. It formerly traded as London Taxis International and Carbodies. Over 130,000 London black cabs have been produced at the London Taxi Company's Coventry site over the past 60 years. Annual production averaged between 2000 and 2500 units per year. Around two-thirds of production goes into London via a dealership in Islington. In February 1989 the Fairway was introduced. It was fitted with a 2664cc Nissan TD27 engine which made the FX4 a faster and more reliable cab. It had full wheelchair accessibility, in line with a new law that came into force in January 1989. The Fairway was the best version of the FX4 ever built and enabled LTI to sell to overseas markets, as well as move into provincial UK markets they had not been able to tackle. Much of this increase in sales was due to local authorities insisting on wheelchair accessible cabs being used in their areas.Powered by the bullet proof and highly desirable 2.7 litre Nissan diesel engine, mated to an automatic gearbox, this ‘low mileage’ Fairway was sign-written to promote the 2012 London Olympic Games, looking great in the design. All the usual attributes associated with a London black cab are still present, including the famous TAXI orange light which adorns the roof and is in working order, as well as an advert to a West End show on the fold down seats. Supplied with its UK V5C logbook, owner’s manual, MoT test certificates, other paperwork and tools.Great fun, practical and a real headturner, you can’t get much better than an original London Taxi! All that’s left to say is “where to mate”?Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1989 Alfa Romeo 164 V6 Transmission: manualMileage:36400The Alfa Romeo 164's launch represented the beginning of the renaissance of its maker. It was a member of the Type Four project, which resulted in four cars from Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Fiat and Saab, all sharing the same floorpan. Of all the Type Fours, the Pininfarina styled Alfa 164 was by far the prettiest. The glorious Busso three litre V6 was used in the 164 and meant that it possessed the most charismatic engine in the class. The sharp Pininfarina styling also helped to differentiate the Alfa Romeo from its cousins and the V6 could be ordered with a Veloce body kit.This elegant looking saloon car benefitted from regularly servicing until it was put in storage for ten years. On its return to the streets, where it belongs, it has been treated to a recommissioning which included changing various belts and oil and bringing it up to the delightful example we see here today. This is truly a one-of-a-kind example of the bigger engine iconic Alfa Romeo model with low mileage, a good service history and four new tyres. Offered without reserve, this Alfa is presented to auction with a V5C registration document and an Mot Test certificate valid until January 2022. We are told this Alfa is a joy to drive and fired into life when requested.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1999 Subaru Impreza Turbo 2000 AWD Transmission: manualMileage:99955Introduced on 1st March 1993, the Impreza, which according to an article in ‘Motor Trend’ was initially to be called the Loyale, was offered in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive versions and as a four-door saloon or five-door hatchback/station wagon. Subaru chose to continue their longstanding use of the boxer engine in the Impreza. According to Subaru, their configuration of the engine in-line with the transmission minimises body-roll due to the lower centre of gravity compared with offset engines in most other vehicles. The boxer design provides good vibration mitigation due to the principles of a very well-balanced engine, the movement of each piston is largely countered by a piston in the opposing cylinder bank, eliminating the need for a counter-weighted rotating crankshaft (harmonic balancer). Torque steer is also minimised with this type of powertrain layout since the front drive shafts are of equal length and weight.This is very original, two owner, right hand drive example and is presented in silver with a black leather interior and was bought by the present owner 20 years ago. It has not been modified at all and comes complete with official Subaru dealer service history and has been garaged for the last ten years being used regularly but sparingly! Its original manual is included and it comes with a UK V5 registration document and is in good all round condition commensurate with its age.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2006 Porsche Cayman S Transmission: automaticMileage:49575First launched in the 2006 model year, the Cayman is a coupé derived from Porsche's second and third generation Boxster roadster, styled in its first iteration by Pinky Lai. All Caymans were manufactured in Finland by Valmet Automotive. The car is not named after the Cayman Islands. Both the car and the islands are named after the caiman, a member of the alligator family. When the Cayman arrived at dealerships for sale, the automaker adopted four caimans at Stuttgart's Wilhelma Zoo.This sleek looking Porsche has recently benefitted from a service and presents well in metallic grey with black leather interior. This low mileage 2006 example was imported into the UK in December 2019 and underwent the required light changes. The car is offered to auction with a V5C registration document and a valid MoT test certificate. It is powered by a 3.4 litre flat six engine and mated to and electronically controlled five-speed automatic Tiptronic gearbox and we are informed that this Porsche is a joy to drive.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1973 Fiat 500F Transmission: manualMileage:49350The Fiat 500 was produced by the Italian car makers between 1957 and 1975 with limited production of the Fiat 500K Estate continuing until 1977. It was designed by Dante Giacosa and despite its diminutive size, the 500 proved to be an enormously practical and popular vehicle throughout Europe capturing the hearts and minds of the public. Launched as the Nuova (new) 500, it was marketed as a cheap and practical town car. Measuring only three metres long and originally powered by a tiny 479cc two-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the 500 redefined the term ‘small car’ and is considered one of the first city cars.This lovely example is presented in red with a black interior and comes with the desirable fold back sunroof and has been in the present vendor’s ownership for the last five years. The car is an original right hand drive UK import from Sicily and had a full engine rebuild at 49,234 miles in August 2017. Its current mileage is believed to be genuine and in 2015 this charming Fiat was resprayed in Fiat/Lancia Red 176/A Passionale which looks great. The car has a new carburettor, coil, ignition leads, distributor cap, fuel pump, battery and brake shoes. It also has a new petrol tank with sender unit and fuel line and is tax and MoT test certificate exempt.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1986 Ford Sierra 4x4 Transmission: manualMileage:45100In 1985, at the Geneva Motor Show, the four-wheel drive Sierra XR4x4 was shown as a derivative of the XR4i. The XR4x4 had a single rear spoiler instead of the distinctive biplane unit used on the XR4 but did receive unique alloy wheels. A five-door version was added soon thereafter. The four-wheel drive allowed for an extra margin of security on slick or snowy roads, while retaining the car's rear-wheel drive comportment. The original, rear-wheel drive XR4 was quickly taken out of production after the XR4x4 arrived. The XR4x4 originally came equipped with the 2.8 litre Cologne V6 engine using the same Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical injection system used since 1977 in the Granada.This rare Ford Sierra shows low mileage as a result of being stored in a barn for a number of years. Presenting well in white paintwork with a grey cloth interior, this Sierra model caused quite a stir when it was launched. The aerodynamically styled Sierra was a big departure from the traditionally shaped Cortina it replaced. This example benefits from front electric windows, a factory fitted opening glass sunroof and factory fitted air conditioning. Offered without reserve and presented to auction with a V5C registration document and a fresh MoT test certificate.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1969 Volkswagen Beetle Transmission: manualMileage:10144The Volkswagen Beetle was produced from 1938 until 2003. With over 21 million manufactured in an air-cooled, rear-engined, rear-wheel drive configuration, the Beetle is the longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single design platform anywhere in the world. During the 1950's, the car was modified progressively; the obvious visual changes mostly concerned the rear windows. Towards the end of 1964, the height of the side windows and windscreen grew slightly, giving the cabin a less pinched look; this coincided with the introduction of a very slightly curved 'panoramic' windscreen. The same body appeared throughout 1966, with a 1300cc engine in place of the 1200cc engine; it was only in the 1973 model Super Beetle that it displayed an obviously curved windscreen. It has been regarded as something of a 'cult' car since its 1960's association with the hippie movement and surf culture.Following a full body restoration this iconic Volkswagen presents well in beige paintwork with a contrasting caramel interior. The carpets have been replaced and the door cards reupholstered in caramel. Fitted with early style front and rear wings with sloping Porsche 356 design headlights and period grille covers, the look is completed with Porsche 914 chromed alloy wheels. The impressive overall look is complemented by a good service history, the file for this Beetle contains various bills, receipts a V5C registration document and a fresh MoT test certificate. Offered without reserve, this Volkswagen would make an ideal investment or start in the world of classic car ownership.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2001 Porsche Boxster S Tiptronic Transmission: automaticMileage:36580The first-generation Boxster (the 986) was introduced in late 1996 and was powered by a 2.5 litre flat, six-cylinder engine. Harm Lagaay's design, inspired by the 356 Speedster and 550 Spyder, stimulated a commercial turnaround for Porsche. Many believe the introduction of the Boxster helped save Porsche from acquisition. It was Porsche's first water-cooled, non-front engine sports car as the Boxster is mid-engine, while in the 911, rear-engine. This layout provided a low centre of gravity, near-perfect weight distribution and good handling. In 2000, the new Boxster S variant was introduced with a larger 3.2 litre engine and the base model received a more powerful 2.7 litre engine. In 2003, styling and engine output was upgraded on both variants. Production of the 986 began at the former Porsche 928 facility in Stuttgart, Germany in 1996. The Boxster was Porsche's biggest volume seller from its introduction in 1996 until the company introduced the Cayenne sport utility vehicle in 2003.This example is presented in silver with a blue leather interior and comes with the desirable factory option of a hardtop. It is the S version Tiptronic which is powered by the smooth 3.2 litre mated to a five-speed gearbox. There is some service history with the car, with the last service being carried out by the present owner in July 2021 by CMD Porsche. The car is in good condition throughout and has covered only a mere 36,580 miles from new. This is a great entry to the Porsche marque providing much fun with good performance.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2005 Maserati Quattroporte Transmission: automaticMileage:99887The Maserati Quattroporte was first revealed in 1963. It was the first production Maserati with more than two doors and also the first to be powered by a V8 engine. The Pietro Frua designed, full-sized sports saloon kicked off an almost unbroken run of this luxury car which is now well into its sixth iteration. Fifth generation Quattroporte production spanned from 2003 to 2012, styled by Pininfarina, it is considered one of the best-looking four-door saloons ever and was the most successful QP evolution to date with over 25,000 produced. The QP V was based on the same underlying platform as the popular GranTurismo and GranCabrio models and, like them, was powered by V8 units from sister company Ferrari. Initially, all variants were fitted with a 395bhp 4.2litre V8 but from 2008, the Quattroporte S and Sport GT S had the larger 4.7 litre engine with power increasing from 424bhp to 434bhp and topping out at 444bhp.Registered new on 28th June 2005, this well-presented example was acquired by its current vendor in 2017 who has used the Maserati regularly. Offered in the desirable colour combination of metallic black over beige leather interior, this Quattroporte presents well. The interior is in good order with few blemishes and the paintwork presents well although as expected there are some stone chips and minor blemishes. Offered with a history file containing various sundry invoices, service records, previous MoT test certificates and the current UK V5 registration document. Offered without reserve, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire one of the most affordable and elegant cars on the market.

1931 Austin 7 RM Special Transmission: manualMileage:6123Because of Herbert Austin’s approach to construction, there is no such thing as a standard Austin 7 as, from 1923, they were built in large numbers and in many different bodystyles. It is not surprising that they were often also raced at both circuit and trials. From that day to this, they are still widely enjoyed both as standard and in modified form, as this charming example represents. Originally a standard RM, this Austin was then stripped and the roof lowered by 2”. Whilst it was in bare metal, it was primed and repainted in its current Lily Pad green with black wings. Things begin to get interesting, however, when you open the bonnet. Pigsty Racing, Austin 7 specialists, have uprated the engine to ‘trials’ spec, with a forged Phoenix crankshaft, new crack-tested conrods and forged pistons. A modified oil system and gas flowed ports are fitted with specialist Pigsty valve springs, new guides and a cylinder head with a Pigsty trials cam-profile. The cylinder head is a modified Superloy unit with modified combustion chambers to increase flow and compression ratio. Power is then fed through a lightened and balanced flywheel and clutch assembly. New wheels by Tudor and tyres by Excelsior complete the package just in time for the Austin 7 centenary celebrations in July next year...

1989 MG Montego EFI Transmission: manualMileage:31402Produced by British Leyland and latterly the Rover Group between 1984 and 1995, the Montego started life as a four-door hatchback. The high-performance MG version was offered using a 2.0 litre engine and used the solid-state instrument cluster, trip computer, and synthesised voice for the information and warning systems. Essentially a Maestro with a boot, a total of 34,476 2.0i cars were produced with a further 7,276 Turbo’s, survivors now being very scarce.This rare MG Montego EFi has the 1994cc fuel injected straight-four engine and manual five-speed gearbox. Finished in complementary white with grey cloth interior, the EFi has only covered an incredibly low 31,402 miles from new. First registered in May 1989, the condition of the car is remarkable and must be seen to be believed. Not only is the condition of the car incredibly good and the mileage very low, the car also boasts being supplied with all of its original booklets and guides, as well as servicing invoices from its life. The vendor describes the car as outstanding and a pleasure to drive with everything working as you would hope.Supplied with a UK V5C registration document, all of its booklets, (including its fully stamped service booklet), old invoices and spare key. Perhaps not your obvious classic, but an important part of British automotive history and in a condition second to none, this is a rare opportunity to own a time warp condition example.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1961 Jaguar Mk. II (3.8 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:The Mk. II Jaguar, introduced in 1959, was a fast and capable saloon. It came with a 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8 litre XK engine. The 3.8 is similar to that used in the 3.8 E-Type but with one less SU carburettor. The 3.4 litre and 3.8 litre cars were fitted with twin SU HD6 carburettors and the 2.4 litre with twin Solex carburettors. Compared to the Mk. I, the appearance of the car was transformed by an increase of 18% in cabin glass area. The car was re-engineered above the waistline, slender front pillars allowed a wider windscreen and the rear window almost wrapped around to the enlarged side windows. The radiator grille was amended and larger side, tail and fog lamps repositioned. Inside a new heating system was fitted with ducted air to the rear compartment. There was an improved instrument layout that became standard for all Jaguar cars until the XJ series II. From its introduction the Jaguar Mk. II developed a strong following in many walks of life. With wonderful styling, a race-bred engine, four-wheel disc brakes and the ability to carry five passengers at great speed, the car proved to be a great success.This lovely example has just been resprayed in the wonderful and nostalgic Old English White with a red leather interior. It is thought that it was first exported to South Africa and then brought back to the UK in 1989. The car is fitted with a power steering system by Vicarage, a new braking system with Cooper Craft lightweight calipers and new slightly lowered suspension with new shock absorbers. The engine was reconditioned by VSE, there is a new clutch, starter motor cooling radiator and an extra fan. An alternator and a stainless steel exhaust system has also been fitted together with a new heated rear window and an uprated windscreen wiper system. This car looks lovely and with its gleaming chrome spoked wheels and recent respray, this iconic British classic just keeps on giving!

1975 Jaguar XJ6 Series II (4.2 Litre) Transmission: automaticMileage:25154The first XJ was launched in 1968 a designation which has been used for successive Jaguar flagship models ever since and was also the last Jaguar saloon to have had the input of Sir William Lyons, the company's founder. The XJ6, using 2.8 litre and 4.2 litre straight six-cylinder versions of Jaguar's renowned XK engine, replaced most of Jaguar's saloons which, in the 1960s, had expanded to four separate ranges. Power-assisted steering and leather upholstery were standard on the 2.8 litre De Luxe and 4.2 litre models. An unusual feature, inherited from the Jaguar Mk. X and S-Type, was the provision of twin fuel tanks positioned on each side of the boot and filled using two separately lockable filler caps.This super stylish Jaguar, showing a mere 25,000 miles on the odometer, appears to be in good all-round condition showing no real signs of corrosion in all the usual places. The Jaguar is fitted with automatic transmission and the trim is standard and indeed shows very little sign of wear. We are advised by the vendor that this example runs and drives very well and turns heads wherever it goes. The history file includes the original bill of sale, old MoT tests, original manuals, various sundry invoices along with a current MoT test certificate and UK Registration document. This two family owned, low mileage example is an opportunity not to be missed.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1973 Triumph GT6 Mk. III Transmission: manualMileage:89415The GT6 was launched in 1966 as a fastback version of the popular Spitfire model. Powered by 2.0 litre engine from the Triumph 2000 the model enjoyed a production run until 1973. This new model, like the Spitfire, inherited what was essentially the Triumph Heralds chassis and running gear which had already proved capable of handling six-cylinder power when developed for the Vitesse saloon. With brisk performance and stylish looks the GT6 deserved its nickname of the ‘mini E-Type’ and today it is one of the most sought after post war Triumph sports cars with only 13,042 Mk. III examples manufactured.Originally registered on 19th July 1973, this stunning, late example GT6 presents wonderfully in red with a contrasting black interior and features the desirable option of overdrive. The car has benefitted from a fully photographed, comprehensive nut and bolt, body off restoration by specialists JY Classics Limited of Little Kingshill, the result of which is this impressive example you see today. Previously owned by Leo Villa who was chief mechanic to Donald Campbell of Bluebird speed record fame. The huge history file for this car contains letters from Donald’s daughter, Gina Campbell confirming ownership. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and although exempt by age, an MoT test certificate valid until November 2021. This well documented example with an interesting history is realistically priced and could prove to be a fine investment.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

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 Targa models now featured a full glass and electronically operated roof. The 996 was another step forward for Porsche, making cars that not only excited their fan base but appealed to those who wanted a comfortable and practical everyday sports car that could sprint to 60 mph in a shade over five seconds.Originally registered on 29th June 2002 this 996 Targa is owned by a fastidious and knowledgeable collector, the car has always been well cared for. The striking paintwork on this handsome Porsche has to be seen to be appreciated. Officially known as Ocean Blue the paintwork almost changes colour in the sunlight and has a deep metallic finish to it. The interior of the car is contrasting grey leather. With great ergonomics this six-speed manual gearbox Porsche is a treat to drive, the exhaust note emitting from the Dansk sports exhaust is fantastic. Offered for sale at a realistic estimate given the condition and taking into account it has a Targa roof for those rare but thoroughly enjoyable sunny days. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 20th February 2022. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1963 Singer Gazelle Series V Transmission: manualMileage:12116The Gazelle was the first Singer to be produced following the take-over of the Singer Company by the Rootes Group in 1956; it was a version of the mainstream Hillman Minx differing mainly in retaining the Singer overhead cam engine. Externally the only significant difference was a restyled nose, based around a traditional Singer grille. The body style followed by the Gazelle between 1956 and 1967 came to be known as the ‘Audax’ body, with significant input from the American based Loewy design organisation, highly regarded at the time partly on account of Loewy's input to several iconic Studebaker designs. In line with Rootes Group policy the car kept getting small upgrades each with a new designation. In September 1958 the car became the III, received better seats, now enhanced at the front by a folding central arm rest and new duo-tone paint became available with this upgrade. The IIIA of 1959 gained small tailfins and a larger windscreen. The engine was upgraded with twin Solex carburettors replacing the single Solex, distinguishing it from the Minx, and lifting output to 60bhp. Home market cars got a floor gearchange and as well as overdrive, Smith's Easidrive automatic transmission also became an option. The 1960 IIIB received a new back axle featuring a hypoid bevel in place of the former model's spiral bevel. A larger engine of 1592cc developing 53bhp was fitted to the July 1961 IIIC. The VI was the last and rarest of the ‘Audax’ Gazelles, the engine was all new with a five main bearing crankshaft and capacity of 1725cc at first developing 65bhp but this was later reduced to 59bhp.Originally registered on 25th September 1963, this Singer is a good, sound example. It is thought the engine was rebuilt around three years ago although, sadly, there is no documentation available to confirm this or by whom. However during our visit the engine started first time and ran smoothly, we are advised by the vendor that this Gazelle Series V drives well with no known faults. The styling of these cars is to be admired with ample chrome and woodwork. The floor gearchange was an improvement over many manufacturers who were still producing column gearchange vehicles at the time. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate (without advisories) valid until 16th July 2022. A great classic car with presence and one that you would be happy to take to any event or rally.

1989 Porsche 928 S4 Transmission: automaticMileage:157117These fabulous sports cars were unveiled at the Geneva Salon in 1977 and voted Car of the Year for 1978. It was intended as an upmarket replacement for the long-running 911 but in the event Porsche's rear-engined classic would outlive its younger sibling. The front-engined 928's stylish hatchback body featured aluminum doors, bonnet and front wings in the interests of weight saving, while ingenious impact resistant 'bumpers' made of colour matched plastic were incorporated into the nose and tail. A five-speed transaxle gearbox or three-speed automatic were the transmission options, in 1979 the 928S with its 4.6 litre engine arrived and then in 1986 the model was further revised and restyled, becoming the 928 S4. Its engine producing 320bhp courtesy of twin-cam, 16 valve cylinder heads and enlargement to 4,957cc, the S4 enjoyed a welcome top speed boost to 160mph.This wonderful looking example was supplied new by official Porsche Centre Charles Follett Ltd, London in March 1989 and is presented in blue over a blue leather interior. The paintwork is in good order as is the interior which shows a light patina from general use over the years. In 2019, the 928 was fitted with a set of Continental tyres at a cost of £468 and in 2020 it was treated to an annual service by Oakhurst Garage. The Porsche maintenance booklet shows 29 service stamps undertaken by either Porsche main dealer or independent specialists and it has recently been treated to a fresh MoT with no advisories valid until September 2022. Offered without reserve, this superb looking 928 is a fantastic opportunity to acquire an S4 variant of the coveted 928 model. Interested parties should note that this vehicle is currently registered in Jersey and as such a 6% import tax will be due if registered in the UK. ?Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1978 Rolls-Royce Corniche Transmission: automaticMileage:50434One of just 1,108 fixedhead coupés built, the Corniche was announced just two weeks after Rolls-Royce entered receivership, initially sporting the rather long-winded title ‘Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward two door fixedhead coupé’. Corniche production began in Willesdon, London during 1971 two years before the aero business was separated from the car division and Rolls Royce Motors was born. The Corniche name was also attached to the Bentley version, assembled at Mulliner Park Ward, that later became the Continental. The Corniche model was first registered by Rolls-Royce Ltd in 1939 and was applied to a high-performance derivative of the Bentley MK.V which failed to see production due to the outbreak of World War II. The name taken from three roads that run between the sea and mountains along the French Riviera featuring the name ‘Corniche’ a part of the world that drew Sir Henry Royce most winters where he carried out much of his design work at his home in Le Canadel.This fixedhead coupé version was only produced for ten years between 1971 and 1981. Later examples benefitted from the much improved styling changes from 1976 including larger rear arches and more modern looking bumpers. Mechanically, upgrades included uprating the twin SU carburettor set up to a four-barrel Solex unit in 1975 with the model also enjoying firmer independent self-levelling suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, alloy radiator and oil cooler plus bi-level air conditioning from 1977.This example was registered in March 1978 and built to updated specification verified by the factory build and inspection sheets dated from July 1977 which are included in the extremely comprehensive history file. The original dealer pack plus bills of sale confirm the car was delivered to Lex Mead in Maidenhead in the January where an alarm was fitted to ‘Eleanor’ its Silver Lady. Other options taken included the Lucas fog lights (which remain today with covers) and “Sundym” glass, slightly tinted promising more glare reduction than privacy. First owner Mr Bailey from Cheltenham, after which this car spent most of its life in the south including time on Jersey. Owner manuals, dealer locators and instruction booklets are all factory issue. The first service book is fully stamped and a continuation book is almost complete totalling 21 entries from either Rolls-Royce official or specialist outlets. The second book was started in 2006 at 43,880 miles and the final addition was in 2019 at 49,197 although the car also benefited from a carburettor rebuild, new water and fuel pumps, a full brake overhaul with gearbox and engine oil changes in 2020; since 2018 the previous owner invested over £21,000 caring for this Corniche. MOT history from 1987 at 33,484 includes every test up to the current certificate that runs until 25 April 2022 and confirms the current mileage shown as just 50,708.Exterior finish of Walnut Metallic over Rose Gold is both bespoke and eye catching, the former refinished in 2020 when the original Everflex vinyl roof was removed followed by a back to bare metal repaint carried out by Rolls-Royce specialists at West Hoathly Garage. They took out both front and rear screens to ensure the perfect finish with new seals installed on refit. Arrow straight panels with precise gaps, typical of Rolls-Royce quality with original chrome offer little evidence of 44 years use. Bumper rubbers, typically nondescript black, are coloured to body with hubcaps finished to complement with matching pinstriping over base gold whilst Stateside classic Vitour Galaxy R1 tyres all round offer high speed rating, white band and plenty of tread. The cabin enjoys the atmosphere of a West End gentlemen’s club with beige leather trim (VM3234) presenting evidence of light use, offering unparalleled luxury and comfort throughout. Electric front seating operates smoothly and without delay as do the powered windows, aerial and central locking. In 2020, the walnut door-cappings were re-lacquered and polished plus a Nardi Classic steering wheel was fitted; the original also comes with the car. It is worth mentioning the high level of equipment this Corniche offers, cruise control, bi-level air conditioning, remote openings for boot and fuel and, as you would expect, everything works as it should. Entertainment comes courtesy of the option Pioneer radio cassette backed up by an original 8-track player also from Pioneer, complete with selection options. Flooring is immaculate throughout, Cumberland Stone carpets protected by lambswool over mats whilst the chrome kick plates subtly state that this is a Mulliner Park Ward assembled vehicle you are entering.Under the bonnet the legendary 6.75 litre L410 V8 silently goes about its business, this strictly maintained power plant offers instant start up with ultra-smooth distribution of 237bhp. The engine bay area presents to show standard and obviously there are no fluid leaks and it is worth noting the original sound deadening jacket remains in place offering little signs of age. Underneath shows factory protection and remains solid throughout with a full stainless exhaust system fitted.Motoring journalists James May and Quentin Wilson will confirm the Corniche really is the only way to travel, with fine examples offering decades of unrivalled motoring. This coupé remains capable of covering continents effortlessly, visually outstanding with comfort levels equal to any ‘first-class’ ocean liner. Appreciated by the ‘smart money’ Frank Sinatra and David Attenborough were both custodians of the Rolls Royce Corniche, drawn in, no doubt, by the engineering masterclass and its timeless elegance.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2003 Porsche 996 Turbo Transmission: automaticMileage:65099The Porsche 996 Turbo was launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September1999 with a driveline derived from the Le Mans winning GT1 from the previous year. The Hagerty guide to buying a Porsche 911/996 points out the regular 996 model from 1997 to 2004 was a ‘whole other world’ from the Turbo model that ran from 2000-2005. The initials IMS (Intermediate Shaft Bearing) are well known to 911 enthusiasts and there is no denying lubrication problems plagued some cars, a consequence of moving from air-cooled to the first water cooled 911 engine. The Turbo versions 3.6 flat-six was known as a Metzger engine, named after Porsche engineer Hans Metzger, these never had an IMS or overheating issues being based on original air-cooled power plant the most common description is ‘bulletproof’. As the specification confirms, the twin turbos contribute to 414 hp and 415 ft lbs of torque; Variocam (variable valve timing) and All Wheel Drive allows for a 4 second 0-60mph before stretching its legs on to 190mph. Stateside, Car & Driver magazinecalled its performance “simply intoxicating” and generally acknowledged as the world’s first all-weather supercar.This 2004 model year C16 (UK) vehicle was specified from new with the rare and desirable ”09991' option which designated that the car was produced via Porsche’s Exclusive Programme which offers leather around the instrument surround, dashboard and defroster vent trims and the speaker surrounds. The interior trim is to showroom condition, even the seat bolsters offer negligible wear whilst dealer over mats have protected the carpets; images confirm leather bound items such as gear knob, steering wheel etc still present a factory appearance. A full range of options were available on this model and included: electric-memory front seats, air con-climate control, electric windows & mirrors, alarm & immobiliser, tilt & slide electric sunroof, alloy-leather gear knob and handbrake lever, Porsche communication management with 2 discs CD changer-sat nav-blue tooth, Bose sound system, sill covers, cruise control, xenon lights and typically Porsche, everything operates as it should.With a colour combination of Basalt Black Metallic complimented by the all-black leather interior this example stands out. The closest of inspections revealed one tiny stone chip to the front bumper and another on the bonnet; that said, they are all original panels with perfect gaps throughout. The ‘Turbo’ alloy rims offer no evidence of kerb damage and come wrapped in recent Michelin Pilot Sport rubber all round.The history file is comprehensive with the original book enjoying 14 service stamps carried out by official dealers and repair invoices, the most recent being front brake pads and discs plus trailing arms at Porsche Guildford in March 2020, are included in the file. MOT history from 2007, Porsche Corrosion Inspections carried out per schedule 2005 & 2012. There are invoices from 2017-2020 outlay £4200 in service/repairs. The dealer pack contains warranty booklets, owners-manual and service information, there are also two keys.A ‘supercar’ that requires a lot less input than you think, an everyday driving experience that is fairly innocuous and while the potential isn’t restricting. When the time comes to make progress the 996 Turbo takes on a different persona with the potential of 0-125mph and back to zero in under 20 seconds. The suspension doesn’t just limit body roll, it eliminates it whilst the AWD just gathers more grip than your average pilot could ever use. Gears are close, with slick selection to encourage ratio changes you soon forget the firm clutch. Easy to park, surprisingly manoeuvrable, this Porsche is as docile as you need it to be but comes alive when the tarmac begins to ask questions. An outstanding piece of engineering that guarantees every excursion is an event, well maintained and superbly presented.

1975 Alfa Romeo Montreal Transmission: manualMileage:46184In 1967, Alfa Romeo dipped its toe into the Supercar sector by launching the Montreal, named after the Montreal Expo where it made its debut. It was powered by an all new V8 quad-cam competition derived power unit with dry sump lubrication taken from the successful Type 33 sports racer and mated to a five-speed ZF gearbox. With a capacity of 2593cc, the V8 featured twin overhead camshafts per bank and produced, via Alfa Romeo/Spica fuel injection and Bosch electronic ignition, 200bhp at 6500rpm. This provided excellent performance with a top speed of 137mph and 0-60mph in just 7.6 seconds. Under the exotic Bertone designed 2+2 coupé coachwork, the Montreal incorporated many stylish features, such as the headlamp eyelids and the NACA duct on the bonnet.One of only 155 right hand drive, UK supplied cars, this wonderful Montreal offers a rare opportunity as the perfect candidate for restoration. Photos in the accompanying history file show it being repainted some time ago by the previous owner; however, it was repainted in red, when its original colour was the much more desirable metallic orange, (AR 602). The letter in the file from Centro Documentazione Alfa Romeo confirms this and also that the car was manufactured on 21st February 1975 before being sold on 26th February 1975 to Alfa Romeo London. The vendor purchased the car in 2008 in its current condition having been dry stored for the previous twenty years. He bought it with the intention of restoring the car himself to enjoy it with his wife, who had given her blessing to the project! Sadly, she died shortly afterwards in a tragic accident and, whilst he made efforts to check the electrics and make sure the engine turned over, (which it does), ultimately, he lost the motivation for the restoration. He has kept the car in dry storage ever since and it is only being sold now to fund a trip to New Zealand with his son to scatter his wife’s ashes. Upon inspection, it appears the car is solid and almost all the parts are with it. The vendor however, has tracked down the missing few parts and is happy to pass the contact information onto any new owner.The car comes supplied with a UK V5C registration document, the letter from Alfa Romeo and photos of the previous paint job. Whilst the vendor never got to restore the car himself, the new owner can confidently undertake what should be a fairly straightforward restoration. Having been dry stored for the past 33 years and, incredibly, still having almost all the parts to complete the project, this is a unique opportunity to restore one of these rare right hand drive, UK supplied Montreals – an opportunity not to be missed.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1981 Triumph Spitfire 1500 Transmission: manualMileage:20086Italian styling house, Michelotti, was commissioned for this exciting new sportscar and came up with this swooping body as well as a single-piece front end which tilted forwards to offer unrivalled access to the engine. It was a huge success and four subsequent variants ensued, the latest of which was the Mk. IV, complete with a 1500cc engine, a top speed of 100mph and 0 to 60mph reached in 13.2 seconds. These are enormously popular, easy to work on and benefit from comprehensive club support.This unique Triumph Spitfire 1500 was delivered in 1981 and has had just one private owner from new covering a mere 20,086 miles. It has been garaged all its life and was supplied by Triumph main dealer, Lathams of Leicester some 40 years ago. The originality of this delightful Spitfire is quite remarkable retaining its original Russet Brown paintwork, Hounds Tooth cloth interior, Triumph push button radio, original Uniroyal tyres and the original steel wheels that have never been repainted. The car was treated with 'Tuff-Kote Dinol' rust proofing when new which certainly worked preserving the car all these years, the original rust proof guarantee in the history file. There are visible signs of this treatment including the blanking grommets to the under bonnet, door shuts, front and rear valances and the total underside including the chassis, all of which is original. The history file includes the 'Supercover' original book pack and wallet including the 'Passbook To Service' owners handbook, all the supplying documents when the car was brand new including the original order form, the original bill of sale, Triumph brochure, parts catalogue, paint and trim colour leaflet, price list and workshop manual as well as a large collection of service bills, invoices and previous MoT test certificates all of which verify the incredible low mileage.Also included are the original supplied dealer number plates and tax disc holder, tonneau cover, unused jack and wheel brace in their original bag and along with a set of spare keys that have never been used.

1968 Jaguar 240 Transmission: manualMileage:81226In September 1967 the Jaguar Mk. II was re-labelled as the 240 and 340 compact saloons. They were interim models to fill the gap until the introduction of the XJ6 in September 1968. The 340 was discontinued on the introduction of the XJ6 but the 240 continued as a budget priced model until April 1969; its price of £1,364 was only £20 more than the first 2.4 in 1956. The 240 now had a straight-port cylinder head with twin HS6 SU carburettors and a new inlet manifold. To keep costs down, Jaguar replaced the leather with Ambla, a simulated leather material and tufted carpet was used on the floor. Other changes included the replacement of the front fog lamps with circular vents and optional fog lamps for the UK market. The sales price was reduced to compete with the Rover 2000 TC. For the first time, the 2.4 litre model could exceed 100 mph, resulting in a slight sales resurgence.Manufactured on 30th August 1968 and supplied by Glovers of Ripon to W.R.M. Michel in Harrogate, this Jaguar was originally registered on 1st October 1968. Still in its original colour combination of Dark Blue exterior with Dark Blue Ambla interior, this is a good honest example of one of Browns Lane finest designs. Owned by the current vendor since 2006, he has lovingly kept the car in a dehumidified garage and has used her only sparingly. Starting immediately when requested, the six-cylinder XK engine runs well and with good oil pressure. This is mated to a manual gearbox with overdrive. Sitting proudly on wire wheels and fitted with the sporty Coombes rear spats, we are advised this matching numbers 240 drives well with no known faults. Supplied with a UK V5C registration document, this example would benefit from some light re-commissioning and perhaps some more regular use than she has had of late.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1986 Lotus Esprit Turbo Transmission: manualMileage:85939Built between 1976 and 2004, the Lotus Esprit was unveiled in 1972 as a concept car and was a development of a stretched Lotus Europa chassis. It was among the first of designer Giorgetto Giugiaro's polygonal 'folded paper' designs. Originally, the name Kiwi was proposed but, in keeping with the Lotus tradition of having all car model names start with the letter 'E', the name became Esprit. Introduced in April 1981, the Turbo Esprit and Series III Esprit marked a necessary consolidation; both new models had a common chassis. The SIII continued to use the 2.2 litre, type 912 engine, whilst the Turbo Esprit reverted to a less complex wet-sump lubrication system, retaining the power and torque outputs of its dry-sump predecessor. The interior for both cars was revised and featured new trim; combined with changes to the body moulds this resulted in more headroom and an enlarged footwell. Externally, the Turbo Esprit retained the full aerodynamic body kit of the Essex cars and featured prominent 'Turbo Esprit' decals on the nose and sides.This fabulous example was supplied new by Bell & Colvill Lotus dealers in Surrey on 19th September 1986 with a dealer stamped owners hand book up to 53,000 miles. There is sizeable history file detailing previous works, old MoT test certificates, sundry invoices and the UK Registration document. Also present is a full set of workshop manuals to complement this exceptional Lotus Esprit. The engine was rebuilt at 50,000 miles, with the cockpit being re-upholstered and the paintwork refreshed in the early 2000s to exacting standards. The car had been dry stored for 12 years from 2009 before having light restoration, re-commissioning and detailing over the last year. Now fully operational, and used regularly, both engine and gearbox are smooth and strong with excellent engine oil pressure. All gauges operate and read correctly. Alloys have been fully refurbished back to factory specification and new ‘period’ tyres fitted all round. Some subtle modifications have been made and these include Hi-Spec four-pot front brakes and fully adjustable coil overs, fitted all round. The car now benefits from a new alarm system and central locking. Maintained regardless of cost, this wonderful and rather original example, runs and drives very well indeed and would enhance any serious collection.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1977 Fiat 124 Sport Spider Transmission: manualMileage:85041Introduced at the November 1966 Turin Salon, the Fiat 124 Sport Spider boasted a handsome two-door monocoque bodyshell that was not only styled but built by Pininfarina although, Fiat assumed responsibility for final assembly. It shared much of the running gear as the other 124 models, the Sport Coupé and 124 Saloon. The Spider uses a shorter platform with a shorter wheelbase than the Fiat designed and manufactured coupé. The four-cylinder engine used in the 124 Spider and Coupé is a double overhead cam, aluminium crossflow head version of the saloon’s pushrod engine. It started in 1966 with a capacity of 1,438cc progressively increasing to 1,608cc in 1970, 1,756cc in 1974 and finally 1,995cc in 1979. The Fiat twin cam engine was designed by ex-Ferrari engineer, Aurelio Lampredi and Bosch fuel injection replaced the Weber carburettors midway through 1980. It incorporated thoughtful features such as intermittent wipers and a hood that could be raised in under twenty seconds, the Sport Spider proved a great sales success. A staple part of Fiat's model range until 1982, just under 200,000 are thought to have been made, though, over eighty percent were shipped to North America.This very good, rust-free, 1977 Fiat 124 Sport Spider is fitted with the 1800cc engine and was supplied new to the USA before being imported to the UK in 2018 by the previous owner who had the car fitted with the European specification bumpers and went through the car mechanically fitting a new clutch, new brake discs and pads and having the magnesium wheels refurbished. The current owner has recently had the car serviced and a new cambelt and tensioner fitted. Finished in the classic Italian colour scheme of red with tan interior and black roof, this 124 Sport Spider is supplied with a V5 registration document, the original owners’ books and original toolkit.

1963 Austin Mini Cooper (1275cc) Transmission: manualMileage:85420The history of this revolutionary motorcar is well known and its impact socially, culturally and mechanically is well documented. The Swinging Sixties, The Beatles, Twiggy and the Mini are inexorably combined to represent an era that is remembered with great fondness by many people. Very few classic cars have seen such a meteoric rise in values as the Mini has over the past five years. The Mini holds an iconic place in British motor car history and in the hearts and minds of anyone who has owned one, it is safe to say no other car can spark a conversation in the same way as a Mini can. On its introduction in August 1959 the Mini was marketed under the Austin and Morris names, as the Austin Seven and Morris Mini Minor. The Austin Seven was renamed Austin Mini in January 1962 and Mini became a marque in its own right in 1969.Registered on 11th July 1963 this Mini Cooper, originally a 997cc, presents in the instantly recognisable colour of Almond Green with a white roof. This example is in good all-round condition and we are advised she drives with no known faults. It retains many original features, including the now unobtainable veltone carpets. The upgraded 1275cc engine fitted with twin 1.5 SUs, started immediately when requested and ran well, the car has also been further enhanced with genuine Cooper ‘S’ LP883 wheels and ‘S’ 7.5” disc brakes. This Mini is best described as a good, honest example. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a full year’s MoT test certificate, this is a perfect opportunity to own such an iconic British classic, which will certainly appreciate over time.Interested parties should note that this Austin Mini Cooper was originally a 997cc example.

1984 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit Transmission: automaticMileage:80824The Silver Spirit was unveiled in October 1980 as a replacement for the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. Direct comparison, however, showed only small differences. The new models had slightly grown in length and width; height had been cut a little, although the styling was more modern than that of its predecessor. The interior was dominated by the expected combination of fine wood and sumptuous leather. The Silver Spirit was similar mechanically to the Silver Shadow, benefiting from the superb Rolls-Royce 6,750cc, V8 and sharing many mechanical characteristics of the model it replaced. The instruments were supplemented by digital units which gave such information as the time, elapsed driving time and external temperature and were the first Rolls-Royce to be fitted with a retractable Spirit of Ecstasy.Supplied new in Jersey in 1984, this Rolls-Royce spent its first 18 years on the channel island before coming home to the mainland. The limited use available in Jersey will be the reason for the low mileage for the age of this car. This, and a good service history, is reflected in the stunning condition the car presents in today. The engine bay is immaculate and the car sports four new tyres, an upgraded stereo, stacking CD player, a stainless stell exhaust system, all tools and two sets of keys. The extremely rare Richmond Blue bodywork contrasts well with the magnolia trim piped in blue. The records show that this Spirit has two previous owners.

1963 Jaguar Mk. II (3.4 litre Manual O/D) Transmission: manualMileage:73512The Jaguar Mk. II was a medium size saloon built from 1959 to 1967 as a successor to the 2.4 and 3.4 models, manufactured between 1957 and 1959. The Mk. II was handsome, powerful and a good handling saloon which was offered with a choice of three six-cylinder twin cam engines; 2.4 litre, 3.4 litre or 3.8 litre. After the appreciation of the Mk. I, Jaguar's successor was well received making a good car even better. Similar in appearance, but with a bigger glass area, it boasted a wider track to improve road holding together with minor front suspension changes to reduce body roll and all-round disc rather than drum brakes. The 210bhp 3.4 litre engine variant proved to be the most popular, offering the best compromise between performance and economy. Naturally, the performance was excellent and the Mk. II has enjoyed great success on track and can still be a very competitive historic race car. Raced by all the top drivers of the day including Graham Hill, Roy Salvadori and Michael Parkes, the Mk. II has scored victories throughout saloon car races in the sixties and was also raced across Europe in the Tour De France and Monte Carlo rally.This stunning example has been extensively restored culminating in the car offered here. Presented in Signal Red with fully trimmed beige leather, this Jaguar was first registered on 16th March 1963 in Grimsby, details of this can be found within the original buff logbook. In 1989, the car was exported to Germany, we believe for a serviceman, before returning to the UK in 1998 in need of restoration. Our vendor purchased the car in 2016 as an ongoing project, since then AEW 763A has had a ‘money no object’ treatment for which countless invoices can be found in the history file alongside quite a detailed history. The car itself is splendid, new chrome, new wood cappings and rubbers complement what has been a very good restoration indeed, the only shame being that due to ill health our vendor has not had much chance to enjoy the car. A fully restored 3.4 example with rebuilt engine and with the desirable manual with overdrive gearbox sitting on new wire wheels, this ticks all the Mk. II boxes and viewing is highly recommended.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1993 Jaguar XJS Convertible Transmission: automaticMileage:145000The Jaguar XJS is a luxury grand tourer produced from 1975 to 1996 and replaced the E-Type. The XJS was a competent replacement with better aerodynamics than the E-Type and was last produced on 4th April, 1996 by which time 115,413 had been produced during a 21 year production life. The car was re-engineered in May 1991 and renamed XJS (facelift). The rear side windows appeared enlarged and the buttresses stayed, although their appearance was minimised by the new side window treatment, as designer Geoff Lawson argued that they were part of the car's character. The car received a new 4.0 litre version of the AJ16 engine. At the same time, the car benefitted from a revision to the rear brakes; they were now fitted with outboard rear disc brakes, instead of the more complicated inboard items on previous models. It also received a more aerodynamic front and rear bumpers.This automatic XJS 4.0 convertible is presented in British Racing Green with Doeskin leather and oatmeal carpets with a beige hood, Boasting a "£2,000 rear seat conversion" as well as air-conditioning, computer, Panasonic CD/stereo and Thatcham II alarm immobiliser", this is the desirable long rear light model but being mid-facelift still has the chrome bumpers. Described as in very good order and with a tear free interior and a new hood. The odometer reads 48,000 miles due to a speedo change, but the true mileage is 145,000, however the car and the finish is that of a much lower mileage example, this is testament to how these 4.0 litre XJS’s could comfortably eat up the mileage indeed it "completed a faultless tour of France (2,700 miles) in September 2005 during which it averaged 25mpg (with the top off)". Within the history file are bills coupled to the UK V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until May 2022. This is a lovely example of the XJS offered with a very sensible guide and perfect for hood down motoring.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1970 MG C GT Transmission: manualMileage:21788The arrival of the MGC in 1967 was greeted with mixed reaction from enthusiasts and the motoring press alike. It can be described as one of the most controversial sports cars ever produced out of Abingdon and, during its short life, the car was never short of attention, particularly from the press. The arrival of the MGC was partly due to the flagging sales of the Austin Healey 3000 and the fact that the original design of the MGB monocoque structure was capable of taking larger power units than the 1800cc engine in the MGB. Upon its launch in October 1967 the MGC was available in roadster form at £1,102 and in GT form at £1,249 and was considered very reasonably priced for one of the fastest production MG's produced. If used, as a relaxed high-speed tourer, the MGC was an extremely civilised motor car.Registered new on 13th October 1970, this very well presented MGC GT was the subject of a comprehensive restoration just a few years ago. During the restoration the coachwork was re-sprayed in Old English White and presents wonderfully and complements the superb contrasting black interior. Other works undertaken included a top-end engine rebuild using an original MGC GT gas flowed cylinder head, a new exhaust system and Tubular Maniflow manifold as well as a new clutch and ABC distributor.The six-volt batteries were replaced with a new 12 volt alternative and a new radio with phone/sat nav. charger port installed. In excellent usable condition, this example comes complete with a sizeable history file detailing previous works, sundry invoices, old MoT test certificates and the current UK registration document. This is a wonderful example of one of the most desirable MG’s ever built. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1950 Citroën Light 15 Transmission: manualMileage:21731The Citroën Traction Avant was manufactured from 1934 to 1957. The Traction Avant, French for 'front-wheel drive', was designed by André Lefèbvre and Flaminio Bertoni in late 1933. While not the first produced front-wheel drive car, it was the world's first front-wheel drive steel monocoque production car and successfully pioneered front-wheel drive on the European mass car market. This method of construction was viewed with great suspicion in many quarters, with doubts about its strength. An unusual type of crash test was conceived taking the form of driving the car off a cliff to demonstrate its strength. Left hand drive versions were built in Paris, Belgium and also Denmark; right hand drive cars in Slough, England. The Slough version was called the Light Fifteen and the long wheelbase the Big Fifteen. This confusing terminology referred to the British fiscal tax rating of the time which was higher than the French. Models assembled in Slough had to be 51% UK parts to make them exempt from import duty, to protect the British vehicle manufacturers from foreign competition. The Slough built cars used 12 Volt Lucas electrics, headlights, dynamo and starter motor with Jaeger instruments and a walnut dashboard.The accompanying copy of the registration ledger reveals that the car was first registered in March 1950. Being a Slough built car, it is the more desirable specification and with the added benefit of being a ‘small boot’ car. Maintained to a high standard throughout its life, there are receipts for considerable work carried out throughout the 2000’s including an engine rebuild in 2011. The car presents very well in black and is reported by the vendor to run and drive very well. Only for sale to free up some room at his home, the car has been lovingly maintained and dry stored during his ownership along with his other classic cars.Supplied with its UK V5C registration document, MoT test certificates and various bills and invoices for restoration and maintenance work carried out. These right hand drive, Slough built, small boot cars are the most desirable Light 15’s and are versatile and immensely enjoyable classics.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.
