Comprehensively restored and matching numbers MK 2 Jaguar sporting the desirable manual gearbox with overdrive. Absolutely stunning throughout.UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 3.8-litre MK2 with a manual gearbox and overdriveComprehensively stripped and restored over a period of two years, costing c.£50,000 in totalSuperbly finished in Opalescent Gunmetal over Bordeaux leather, a classic combinationLess than 1,000 miles covered since rebuildNumerous considerate upgrades to improve performance and usabilityMatching numbers throughout, as confirmed by Jaguar Heritage Trust CertificateThis lovely Mk 2's previous owner was somewhat of a Jaguar aficionado, and had enjoyed the car between 1996 and 2016, using it sparingly as part of his modest collection. The car was known to our vendor for around ten years prior to his purchase and he had often expressed an interest in owning it. The opportunity arose in 2016 and with 55,535 miles on the odometer, our vendor shipped the vehicle, along with an impressive collection of NOS panels and spare parts courtesy of the prior owner, off to those knowledgeable folks at The Splined Hub, who stripped the car down in its entirety and rebuilt it from the ground-up, addressing any issues that they found along the way.Whilst it certainly doesn’t do justice to the level of work done, a brief overview of the restoration process shows that the shell was stripped, dipped and then re-sprayed in the correct Opalescent Gunmetal, whilst the interior was also completely re-upholstered in Bordeaux Red, including new seats, new carpets, fresh veneers, a Moto-Lita steering wheel and a retro-style modern stereo resulting in a Mk 2 Jaguar that looks virtually factory-fresh and benefits from improved creature comforts.The wheels are an entirely new set with the correct knock-off hubs, sitting on a set of matching tyres that have covered less than 1,000 miles since fitting.Under the bonnet, the engine was fully stripped down and upgraded with 9:1 compression pistons, electronic ignition, a set of electronic fans were fitted to keep the car cool in modern traffic, along with a full negative-earth wiring conversion. The braking system was also uprated with four-pot front brakes and 22mm vented-discs.Included with the vehicle is a plethora of photographs documenting the restoration process, along with every invoice and receipt from the restoration itself, totalling around £50,000. In addition to this, the Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate is present, confirming that the Mk 2 has been restored to the correct factory specification, along with confirming that this is, indeed, a numbers-matching example.Presented in outstanding condition throughout, this 1965 Mk 2 Jaguar is a true collector’s piece, but one that can also be used and enjoyed without the usual reliability fears associated with cars of this era. A classic sixties Jaguar sporting saloon and a wonderful example of the breed.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: MK 2Year: 1965Chassis Number: 233126DNRegistration Number: AHJ 72CTransmission: Manual/ODEngine Number: LE1254-8 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 56150 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Red/LeatherClick here for more details and images

An older restoration from long-term ownership with a realistic price guide.A UK-supplied, Series 3, 2+2 manual in Jaguar Signal RedRecently emerged from 43 years in ownership and now ripe for a new custodianCovering just 51,380 miles indicated and has covered only 2,160 miles since 1978Maintained and described by our vendor as matching engine, chassis and manual gearbox, supported by early Jaguar Heritage CertificateDetailed history file including the original operating, maintenance and service handbook, operation manuals and parts catalogueA decade after the original Jaguar E-Type arrived, the design progressively matured through 1971 with the introduction of the Series 3. Designed to showcase the new smooth and torquey 5.3-litre engine, originally developed for Le Mans, the Series 3 cars were available as a 'Roadster' (convertible) or a '2+2' Coupe. The Series 3 is easily identifiable by its large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches, wider tyres, a larger bonnet bulge, updated bumpers, four exhaust tips, and a badge on the rear that proclaims it to be a V12. It also featured uprated brakes, power steering as standard and a large horizontal scoop added to the underside of the bonnet to assist with cooling. The interior was entirely new in the V12, with more comfortable seating, stylish new door panels and a smaller, dished and leather-rimmed steering wheel. Being slightly larger and altogether much softer in nature, the E-Type in Series 3 form had lost the wildness of its youth but gained the long-legged touring profile, to which it was arguably better suited.The lovely example on offer here is an original UK-supplied, right-hand drive car, factory-specified with the desirable manual gearbox and finished in Signal Red with a black leather interior, arguably, one of the best-suited colour combinations for the Plus 2 silhouette.Our vendor purchased the Jaguar in 1978 and, whilst overall it presented in good condition, by the late 80s areas of the vehicle were suffering from age related wear and tear. At that point he decided to commission a sympathetic nut and bolt restoration of the engine, body, and subframes including a stainless steel exhaust system. The previous owner kept details of all his expenditure and, accompanying the car, are personal records made during his tenure.Also supplied with the car are a number of invoices and MOTs dating back to 1978, and other partial history including the newspaper advert and original Bill of Sale from 1978.Coming from long term private ownership of over 40 years, and now showing just 51,380 miles, this venerable Series 3 is now ready to start the next chapter of its life and be enjoyed for many more years.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: E-TYPEYear: 1971Chassis Number: 1S50577Registration Number: PGU 975KTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 7S3849SADrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 51380 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black/LeatherClick here for more details and images

A beautifully restored, home-market Sprint FHC in Pistachio and Cirrus White.Home market, right-hand drive Elan Sprint Coupe, indicating just 53,000 milesBeautifully presented in the desirable Sprint livery of Pistachio over Cirrus WhiteReplacement chassis in 1997 then subject to an extensive restoration between 2001-2003Offered with a large history folder documenting the life of this remarkable exampleA fabulous little Lotus. Elan by name and Elan by natureWhen Colin Chapman was drawing up plans to replace the slightly troublesome Elite, he was intent on sticking to the glass fibre monocoque principle and using a Ford-based twin cam 1000cc engine. However, serendipity got in the way and a steel backbone chassis, designed for testing the prototypes - mainly because the mechanical parts needed to be attached to something for testing - had proved such a successful and cost-effective solution that it was adopted for production. Meanwhile, other larger variants of the Ford Kent block, up from 997cc to 1340cc, became available and Chapman was eager to exploit the potential for extra performance. So, by the time the 1962 Type 26 Elan Roadster took to the roads, it had moved up a class.The glassfibre-bodied Elan may only have been available initially as a Roadster Kit but its specification was very advanced and adhered to Chapman's “just add lightness” engineering philosophy. Power came from Harry Mundy's Ford-based Lotus 1558cc DOHC engine, it was fitted with disc brakes all round, and the independent suspension was set up to optimise ride quality and handling finesse, qualities for which this little car is still admired. It soon sired other derivatives including the Type 26R racer, the Type 36 fixed-head coupe, the Type 45 drop-head coupe, and the Type 50 Elan +2 of 1967.The 1971 Elan Sprint was essentially based on the Series 4 Elan bodyshell and was primarily designed to rekindle demand and improve the performance of the nine-year-old sports car. Conceived by Lotus Sales Director, Graham Arnold, the Sprint's most notable feature was the horizontally-split two-tone paintwork echoing the livery of the Gold Leaf Team Lotus Formula One cars. Meanwhile providing the 'go to match the show' a new big-valve cylinder head with high-lift cams and a raised compression ratio, the work of Engineering Director Tony Rudd, provided a 25% increase in power to 126bhp. The drivetrain was suitably toughened and braced, and the front callipers were redesigned to cope with the increased performance.The car presented here is a genuine home-market FHC Sprint model that was first registered in 1972 and is particularly striking in the more rarely seen Sprint livery of Pistachio Green over Cirrus White. We are advised that the car was fitted with a new chassis in circa 1997 and that between 2001-2003 it underwent extensive restoration. The latter involved a complete strip-down and re-spray, an engine rebuild (believed to have been done by marque specialist 'Nick Stagg Engineering'), conversion to unleaded compatibility, an overhaul of the steering, suspension and brakes, a new interior, and the fitting of a host of new parts (see image attached for details).An interesting history file accompanies the little coupe and includes a record of all journeys from 1979 at 23,377 miles through to December 1985 at 47,133 miles, showing just how cherished this car has been. In the years that followed, it appears that it was only lightly used after being restored, as by 2007 the mileage indicated was still just 48,000 (approximately) and to date is only 52,525. There is an invoice for a recent service at 52,498 miles, MOT Certificates from 2006 to 2018, plus numerous invoices for work/maintenance/parts (from 2002 up to 2018, totalling almost £15,000) from specialists 'Christopher Neil Lotus', 'Paul Matty Sports Cars', and 'QED Motorsport Ltd'. Furthermore, there are specific invoices from 2008 that might indicate further restoration, plus £3,131 spent with Paul Matty in 2012 for various maintenance items.There is no doubt that NHN 620K has received more than its share of care and attention and continues to look crisp and fresh. We understand that it's as agile and eager as a 'Sprint' should be and imagine that Mr Chapman, whose signature is etched into the steering wheel, would be proud that his inspired creation is as desirable now as the day it rolled out of Hethel all those years ago. SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: ELAN SPRINTYear: 1972Chassis Number: 7110260379ERegistration Number: NHN 620KEngine Number: N25297Make: Click here for more details and images

A much loved and well-travelled 4/4 Series 1, on the button and ready to go.In present ownership for 50 yearsRegularly used and maintained as requiredMany adventures throughout the UK and Europe including Le Mans on a regular basisFull restoration some years ago completed by Morgan specialist Martyn StendallSuperb throughout and rarely available on the open marketThe Morgan 4/4 (later known as the 4/4 Series 1) made its debut at the Motor Show in 1936 (until then Morgans had only ever appeared at the Motor Cycle Show) priced very competitively at 185 Guineas. The new car featured an open two-seater body with luggage space behind the seats and two spare wheels mounted at the rear. The four-cylinder Coventry Climax had a capacity of 1122cc with overhead pushrod-operated inlet valves and side exhaust valves and 34bhp was transmitted through a Borg and Beck clutch down a short shaft to a mid-mounted 4-speed gearbox and onwards down a Hardy Spicer prop shaft to a spiral-bevel back axle.Having been with its current custodian for approximately 50 years, BVH 766 has lived a life and then some. Fully restored some twenty five years ago by Martyn Stendall this is a superb Jaguar Brooklands British Racing Green with black interior 'Flat Rad' Series 1 that has been cared for throughout its life. Every component received attention, from engine to back axle with that final component being uprated by Brian Gateson at Techniques Morgan. Many journeys into Europe and all over the UK have given this Series 1 Morgan a gentle patina, not that of a Concours trophy contender, but one of a much loved, well travelled and cherished companion. On the button and ready to go wherever that next adventure may be, but would quite like to stay with its sibling, VV 7819, which is also on offer here today.SpecificationMake: MORGANModel: 4/4 SERIES 1 1122CC CLIMAXYear: 1939Chassis Number: 827Registration Number: BVH 766Transmission: ManualEngine Number: MA651Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black leatherClick here for more details and images

Delightful,1098-Climax-engined, pre-war, Flat Rad 4/4 restored to an exceptional standard.A fabulous, Series 1 'Flat Rad' from 25-years ownershipExemplary restoration by true Morgan fanatics and craftsmenChassis-up rebuild with outstanding attention to detailFitted with a 1098cc Climax from the Le Mans ReplicaFinished in Ford Deep Navy with black trimMinimal use since completion. Simply exquisiteThe Morgan 4/4 (later known as the 4/4 Series 1 ) made its debut at the Motor Show in 1936 (until then Morgans had only ever appeared at the Motor Cycle Show) priced very competitively at 185 Guineas. The new car featured an open two-seater body with luggage space behind the seats and two spare wheels mounted at the rear. The four-cylinder Coventry Climax had a capacity of 1122cc with overhead pushrod-operated inlet valves and side exhaust valves and 34bhp was transmitted through a Borg and Beck clutch down a short shaft to a mid-mounted 4-speed gearbox and onwards down a Hardy Spicer prop shaft to a spiral-bevel back axle.Having been with its current custodian for approximately 25 years, VV 7819 has to be one of the finest Series 1 Morgans available today. Our vendor and Morgan fanatic owned another Series 1, purchased in 1970, which was used extensively for touring and after 25 years of enjoyment the ravages of time called for a refurbishment, so with that in mind a donor car was sourced, that being the car on offer today. Upon further investigation, it was found that the two cars were just two chassis numbers apart – Chassis nos #825 and #827, so how could he break one of the two factory siblings, having just found each other after all these years?  With room in the stable for two, a decision was taken and a long term project commenced resulting in the first car, the green Series 1, being rebuilt followed by its stablemate, the stunning blue car that we have the pleasure to offer today. VV 7819 was rebuilt by Morgan fanatics and craftsmen to the very highest of standards with every component scrutinised from the bare chassis up. Every mechanical aspect of the car received attention including the Coventry Climax 1098 cc engine, the four-speed Moss gearbox  rebuilt by George Proudfoot, rear axle, suspension springs and steering. The interior was restored and retrimmed and a full tonneau cover fitted, a full hood and side screens being deemed unnecessary at this point. All the chromework was replaced or re-plated and the original Morgan panels were treated to several coats of gleaming Ford Deep Blue. Interestingly, the car is powered by a 1098cc Climax, an engine earmarked for the 4/4 'Le Mans Replica' announced in February 1939. Although 24cc less than the standard engine, the cylinder head, valves and other parts were all carefully polished and the crankshaft fully balanced, resulting in the smaller engine being the more powerful. With sales of the Le Mans being less than hoped for ( the Second World War started a few months after the first cars were available), perhaps the 1098cc engines were used in standard cars. Clearly this has been very much a labour of love, so much so, that we have the pleasure of offering both cars in the hope that they may continue to remain together. A rare opportunity unlikely to be repeated.SpecificationMake: MORGANModel: SERIES 1 4/4Year: 1939Chassis Number: 825Registration Number: VV 7819Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 623Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black leatherClick here for more details and images

A delightfully restored example of the rare 1500 MGTF, the final iteration of MG's long-lived T-Series Midgets. #HDE43/6505 was exported to the USA, as were the vast majority of TFsHaving spent the last 20 years stored in a barn in Nevada, it was shipped back to the UK by its present owner in January 2019He owns a body shop and has returned the little MG to top formCompletely mechanically and cosmetically refreshed with a bare-metal respray in MG GreenAccompanied by its original tools, side screens, tonneau cover and its V5cLots of classic MG touches, octagonal instruments, beige 'Bakelite' wheel, chrome luggage rack, fly-off handbrakeA lovely example of a very rare car ready for its next owner to cherish and enjoyIntroduced in September 1953, the MG TF was based on the same chassis and mechanical components as the TD Mark II. The centre section of the body shell remained virtually the same as that of the TD but the most significant change was to adopt a sloping radiator grille that, for the first time, concealed a separate radiator. The bonnet also had a marked forward slope achieved by lowering the radiator shell by three and a half inches in relation to the scuttle top. The front wings were restyled to accommodate faired in headlamps instead of the traditional bolt on fixings on the wing stays as on the TD and the wings, in turn, were faired into the bonnet sides which all in all helped to create a new streamlined image. The rear of the car received some general restyling with modifications to the fuel tank and spare wheel mounting to help tidy up the overall appearance. The end result was very pleasing to the eye but still a little dated compared to the offerings of other manufacturers of the era. Initially the car was launched with the faithful 1250 cc XPAG engine that made its debut in the TB Midget back in 1939, however, late in the summer of 1954, a new 1466 cc engine was introduced to the TF designated XPEG. It was in the main very similar to its predecessor the XPAG TF. 'Siamesing' of the cylinders allowed a larger bore in the same block and with larger pistons, stronger con-rods and an increase in the compression ratio to 8.3:1, the new engine produced a meaningful 63 bhp which equated to a 10.5% increase in power. Externally there were no visual clues other than engine numbers to distinguish the two power units and there was little on the car to give away its identity as a TF 1500, other than two discreet 'TF 1500' motifs on each of the bonnet side panels and the addition of two rear reflectors. The larger power unit did give the TF a boost in sales mainly in the United States and out of the 3,412 TF 1500s produced, only a handful were sold in the UK. It is well known that Abingdon would rather not have produced the TF had the MGA project been given earlier approval, nonetheless the TF, and particularly the 1500 version have become one of the most desirable classic MGs of all time. An early production car, the chassis number, # HDE43/6505, denotes that it was exported to the USA after it came off the production line as were the vast majority of TFs. Having spent the last 20 years stored in a barn in Nevada, it was shipped back to the UK by its present owner in January 2019.Since then, ‘756 XVG’ has undergone a complete overhaul. The vendor lists his extensive efforts here:The brakes have been fully stripped, brake cylinders and shoes have been replaced. All wheel bearings have been removed and re-greasedThe wheels have been refurbed and tyres and tubes have been replaced. The track-rod ends have been replaced and wheel alignment carried outSuspension bushes have been replaced where required. The radiator has been fully restored and re-coredThe water hoses have all been uprated and replaced. A new thermostat and housing have been fittedAll cork engine gaskets have been replaced and the carburettors have been fully stripped, balanced, and rebuilt. The fan belt and spark plugs have been replaced.The steering bushes and engine mounts have also been replacedThe car has a four-speed gearbox and all fluids have been changed and the linkages have been upgraded. A new stainless steel upgraded exhaust has been fitted.The bodywork has been fully stripped back to bare metal (the panels showed no signs of rust or corrosion when stripped), and then re-painted in MG Green to give the car a refresh and eliminate some previous poor paintwork. The bodywork was finished off with a protective ceramic coatingThe wheels were also repainted in their original Satin SilverThe cockpit area has been tidied up – a new (original copy) steering wheel was sourced, but the original was also retained to be kept with the car.The clocks and dials have been restored and are all in full working order. The dash has been finished in the original satin colour.The seats, hood and carpets are all in pristine condition and have been thoroughly cleanedAll of this work has been carried out to a professional standard with the aim of preserving as much originality as possible and where original parts could not be repaired or restored, period counterparts have been diligently sourced.Remaining in left-hand drive and looking the part in its gleaming coat of MG Green, this lovely TF is supplied with a complete toolkit of original tools, side screens, a tonneau cover and is now UK registered as ‘756 XVG’. The 1500cc TF is a rare car over here with the vast majority heading Stateside and this pretty example is ready for its next owner to cherish and enjoy.NB: We welcome and encourage interested parties to book an appointment to come and see the car either at our storage facility before the sale or during the Silverstone Classic weekend itself.   SpecificationMake: MGModel: TF 1500Year: 1954Chassis Number: TF6505Registration Number: 756 XVGTransmission: ManualEngine Number: XPEG - 2714Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 36 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

The most thoroughly restored and exactingly finished 2-door Range Rover, resplendent in Tuscan Blue.A superbly restored Range Rover, from the Land Rover engineering skills behind ‘LOF Clutches’Fully restored from the ground up, costing £40,000, with great attention to detail from a team that really know Land RoverWith a finish to rival any 're-engineered' exampleThe 'Suffix B' has the shortest production run of all Range Rovers2-door Classic Range Rovers are wholly endearing and always seem in fashion, blending in effortlessly whether at Goodwood or a local country showThere is a select group of British cars that are instantly recognisable for their silhouettes alone; the Morris Minor, the Mini, the Jaguar E-Type – and the Range Rover, all vehicles that merit that much-abused word ‘iconic’. Although Rover’s head of new vehicle projects, Spencer King, claimed that the design for a new 4x4 was merely a stopgap, the Louvre Museum in Paris described the result of his collaboration with the engineer Gordon Bashford as an 'outstanding piece of modern sculpture'.Sales commenced on June 17th, with prices from £1,998. ‘Autocar’ magazine raved: “What is so good about the Range Rover is the way it carries out its multiple functions, serving equally well as tug, load carrier, cross-country vehicle and, by no means least, as an ordinary car suitable even for commuting in heavy traffic.”Traffic policing further raised the profile of the Range Rover, and by 1971 it was employed by the forces of Cheshire, Kent, Staffordshire and Warwickshire. In 1976, ‘Car’ magazine had "not found a vehicle to challenge the Range Rover”  while observing the Land Cruiser from Japan was “a nasty piece of work”.February 1996 marked the demise of what had become known as the Range Rover ‘Classic’, following the launch of the second-generation Range Rover two years earlier, by which time some examples resembled a mobile gin-palace. In the words of that ‘Car’ article of 44 years ago: “It really is just as happy in the deep mire of a forest as in the King’s Road”  and to quote ‘Motor’ magazine of 1975: “It isn’t perfect, but there are so few cars which even begin to compete. We love it!”Even today, Range Rover illustrates this model in its advertisements to help promote its latest version of the brand. This tells you all you need to know about the original Range Rover: it is a design icon. Being of Land Rover ancestry, it goes without saying that it is immensely strong and yet with its air of quiet sophistication, it is also a simple vehicle by today’s standards, making it easy to maintain and run.This particular car is a 1972 ‘Suffix B’ version, the second iteration in the 25-year-long series of models. ‘Suffix B’ cars were produced between January and October 1973, making it the shortest production run of any Range Rover model. It featured many improvements over the more common ‘Suffix A’ such as rear window wash-wipe, better sound deadening, more instrumentation, a larger twin outlet water bottle and much else besides.This particular Suffix B was hand-picked by our vendor, a very well-respected Land Rover authority, for a full and comprehensive restoration, costing in the end, approximately £40,000. Like all Range Rovers from this era, wet weather and time take their toll, and this is where a 'proper' restoration differs from a mere restoration. Our vendor knows the difference, so this Range Rover's body was fully acid-dipped and neutralised, followed by extensive welding to the rear floor, rear arches, rear crossmember, front foot wells and front bulkhead; the front end was renewed with high-quality pattern parts. The body was then acid-dipped again, followed by being epoxy painted, seam-sealed and then repainted in Tuscan Blue, this alone costing £11,000.The Rover 3.5-litre V8 engine was fully rebuilt, re-bored, and refitted with a reground crank, new cam, pistons and ancillaries. The original 4-speed LT95 gearbox was also fully rebuild with a vacuum diff-lock. The axles too were fully restored and rebuilt, whilst the original chassis was inspected, cleaned and treated, but remarkably required no welding! The underbody was then paint protected and insulated using a body-coloured Schultz finish.The process continued with the fitting of a brand new full stainless steel exhaust system, a set of Blockley tyres (specially made to mimic the original style Michelin tyres, costing £900) and many hard-to-find parts sourced from contacts, including new light lenses, ignition barrel and clocks etc. Details like the use of a full original fasteners kit, with the correct period fasteners (costing over £1,000), have all been done correctly. New window seals all round, a new 'Famous Four' aluminium tailgate, genuine Land Rover front grille, and fuel tank. The upholstery was fully retrimmed by a highly skilled trimmer and reinstalled with the original 'Kit-Kat' beige seating. This finished Range Rover has been 'shaken down', set-up correctly and enjoyed for a few hundred miles since its restoration. The odometer was zeroed upon completion, given the extent of the work done, and is now ready to be enjoyed by an enthusiast who will have many years of pleasurable Classic Range Rover ownership head of them.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: RANGE ROVER 1ST GENYear: 1972Chassis Number: 35505627BRegistration Number: LFL 382LTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 20304411 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Restored at a cost of over £35,000.Registered to the War Office as '38 BP 45' and entered service on the 22/10/1954 when dispatched to Feltham BarracksOfficially known as 'Truck 1/4 Ton 4x4 Rover Mk3 (86 Inch)' and supplied under the very first War Office Contract 6/Veh/16223 (Dated 26/05/1954)It was decommissioned on 29th November 1963 and sold as Lot 428 at the Ruddington Disposal Depot Auction on the 12/05/1964Shipped to the Channel Islands and registered in Jersey on 27th April 1967 later appearing on the Series One Owners Club register in 1985Bought by our vendor in 2018 as a barn find, he commissioned an extensive ground up restoration at a cost of some £35,000Presented in superb order we note the unusual fitment of a 'Bikini Hood' that is perfectly suited for fair weather useIt is extremely rare to offer a Land Rover with such detailed early history and will be offered to sale with a NOVAAs 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. With the US Army’s wartime Willys Jeep as Maurice Wilks’ inspiration for the Land Rover it is perhaps easy to assume that the military application of the Land Rover was a given from day one. However, it was the earlier Nuffield-designed prototype known as 'FV1800', presented in 1945, that pipped the Land Rover to the post. Government regulations and repeated modifications extended development over many years, and the vehicle did not enter production until the early 1950s. By that time, Nuffield had merged with Austin and the resulting vehicle became known as the Austin Champ. The development contract committed the British Armed Forces to a large order of the Champ. In parallel to this order, the British Army purchased a trial batch of Series I Land Rovers in 1949. The earliest Land Rovers were found to complement the Austin Champ very well. The Land Rover was cheaper, lighter, consumed less fuel; and was ideal for behind-the-lines transport duties. However, the Champ was better suited as a front-line combat vehicle. Over time the Land Rover was modified, and became better suited to the British Army's needs. The initial contract order for the Champ was never expanded and production ceased after only five years. The Land Rover, in various forms, was to enjoy a seven-decade long association with the Armed Forces of dozens of countries across the globe. Former British Army Land Rovers have long been identified as either the Series IIA Lightweight, introduced in 1968, or the matte-painted Defenders of later years. Very few military Series I Land Rovers have survived, nor identified as such, and our vendor and Silverstone Auctions are thankful to military vehicle historian John Mastrangelo for the following information. This Land Rover 86 inch was registered to the War Office as "38 BP 45" and entered service on the 22nd October 1954 when dispatched to Feltham Barracks, Middlesex. Officially known as a "Truck 1/4 Ton 4x4 Rover Mk3 (86 Inch)" and supplied under the very first War Office Contract 6/Veh/16223 (Dated 26th May 1954). It was decommissioned on 29th November 1963 and sold as Lot 428 at Ruddington Disposal Depot Auction on the 12th May 1964. The Land Rover was shipped to Jersey and registered there on the on 27th April 1967 later popped on to the Series One Owners Club Register in 1985 by a previous owner.

Far from being a broken nation, the resilience of the workforce was remarkable and Mercedes-Benz resumed car production in 1946, albeit with the pre-war 170V, a modest middle-class car that had been their best-seller in the 1930s. However, in less than six years, the company was sufficiently confident to return to the luxury market when the Mercedes 300 was introduced at the 1951 Frankfurt Motor Show and for the duration of the Fifties, Mercedes-Benz prestige line-up was based on the 300 range, at the heart of which was essentially the same superb 2996cc overhead-camshaft six-cylinder engine found in the legendary 300SL 'Gullwing'.The 300 Saloon was aimed squarely at Captains of Industry and Heads of State - indeed, the model was nicknamed 'Adenauer' after Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. In office from 1949 to 1963, he employed six custom convertible, hardtop, and landaulet versions during his tenure. Inside, the 300 was beautifully executed in polished wood, with deep bucket seats trimmed in either cloth or leather and a division was available as an option for those who preferred to be chauffeur driven. Improvements came with the 300B of 1954 in the form of twin Solex carburettors, along with servo-assisted brakes and minor styling changes while the 300C model of September 1955 saw the option of a Borg-Warner three-speed automatic for the American market. Introduced in August 1957, the 300d was the linear successor to the 300c, with a longer wheelbase, fuel injection, and unique hardtop configuration transforming it into a pillarless 'Phaeton'. An additional four-inches of wheelbase provided greater rear legroom, equalling that of the long wheelbase Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Removable rear quarter-lights allowed an unobstructed view in and out from the front vent window all the way to the back, much valued in the model's popular role as a 'parade car'. Employing a slightly detuned version of the 300 SL sports cars Bosch fuel injected engine, the 300D produced 180bhp at 5500 rpm. Automatic transmission was standard and power brakes, power steering, and Artic-Kar air-conditioning were added as options.Offered here is a truly magnificent 1959 Mercedes-Benz (W189) 300D delivered new in right-hand drive to Australia. Presented in Schwartz-black paintwork with a remarkably well preserved, luxurious Bordeaux leather interior this particular ‘Adenauer’ has benefitted from the warm, dry Australian climate. It's fitted with a matching-numbers, fuel-injected, 3.0-litre straight-six making 180bhp coupled to a 3-speed automatic transmissionConsigned from a private Mercedes-Benz collection and selected for its superb condition, the 300D’s bodywork has benefitted from some cosmetic attention with the underside also in good order as might be expected from a vehicle from a dry country vehicle. The inside is well-preserved and largely original, good condition, retaining the deep-red factory leather upholstery and the wooden door caps, veneers, Bakelite and chrome all present with patina commensurate with the car’s age. All of the controls, gauges, and electrics currently work as they should.Although MOT exempt due to its ‘Historic’ car status, the 300D was subject to a full Lubrication Service under 200 miles ago in 2020, with no warnings or advisories. The invoice on file details a full oil and filter change with engine flush and supply of new battery. The major service included checking; engine fluids, V-belts, brake pads and handbrake operation, engine ignition system, all electrical items, brake fluid and coolant levels. Also, a full inspection of underbody including; suspension bushes, steering system, exhaust system, prop shaft and couplings, fuel tank lines and wheel bearings.It's accompanied by a detailed history file including the original owners manuals, service book and the original tool kit. All taxes have been paid and the car comes with its NOVA letter from the DVLA and the V5 logbook has been applied for. Wearing its 62 years well, the 300D starts on-the-button, drives well, stops as it should with the body showing no obvious accident damage.This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a truly remarkable 300D 'Adenauer'. Its commanding presence and stately manner are irresistible to both occupants and bystanders alike.

UK-supplied and coming from 35-year ownership,10,000 miles since 1988 restoration by a Mercedes-Benz main dealer with private registration 560 DP included.UK-supplied with an automatic gearbox and registered on the 21/07/1969 to the first of four former keepers Bought by our vendor on 14/07/1986 at 14,600 miles for £6,700, according to the accompanying Bill of SaleThe car was sent to the then famed Dingles Mercedes-Benz classic car workshop in North Wales for a full restorationThe detailed history file notes extensive OEM receipts, labour and trimming costs for the white leather interior at over £20,000 at 1987 prices!An engine failure led to the dispatch by Mercedes-Benz Stuttgart of the believed last new and unused 2.8-litre engine in stockFinished in Signal Red with white leather interior, black canvas hood, red hardtop and period 1980s Alpine stereo With work commitments abroad, our vendor has used the car sparingly, covering some 10,000 miles since 1986Presented to auction with a detailed history file, including historical MOTs, the older restoration is in very fine order and the engine is barely run-in!The Mercedes-Benz 280SL 'Pagoda' was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production through until February 1971. The W113 was then 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.This smart example was UK-supplied with an automatic gearbox and registered on the 21st July 1969 to the first of four former keepers. It was purchased by our vendor, from the fourth owner on the 14th July 1986 for, the not inconsiderable, sum of £6,700. The accompanying MOT Certificate, dated the same day, shows the mileage at 14,573 miles. Online records lead us to believe that the car was registered as “560 DP” from new and our vendor has generously included the registration number in the sale, appreciating the historical connection with the car and regardless of the value of the number plate today. In 1986, and as a young man of just twenty-three years old, our vendor had repaired and sold a number of motorbikes and an MG to pay the £6,700 for the Pagoda and was starting on a career which took him overseas. During a visit home in the late Eighties, a con-rod threw itself through the side of the Pagoda’s engine. This devasting misadventure would’ve led many young men to get rid of the car, however, our vendor loved his 'Pagoda' so much that he decided to commission a programme of restoration works and sought from Mercedes-Benz a replacement engine, which he informs us was the last 2.8-litre "new and unused" engine from the Stuttgart factory. The car was sent to the, then famed, Dingles Mercedes-Benz classic car workshop in North Wales for a full restoration. The detailed history file notes extensive OEM receipts, labour and trimming costs for the white leather interior of over £20,000 at 1987 prices! The car remains today in very good order with some 10,000 miles covered since the restoration, and therefore one of the few Pagodas with an engine that has barely been run in. We note the fitment of a 1980s Alpine radio in the dashboard and perhaps we can allow this minor transgression to pass based on our vendor’s then age at the completion of the restoration thirty-five years ago. With a black soft-top in fine order and a matching hard top in the same condition as the car itself we must note that the Ivory leather interior has very little sign of wear and is trimmed in a high-quality hide that has aged naturally and sets the interior apart from the recently trimmed leather interiors of today. The odometer reading was some 27,783, at the time of cataloguing, and a total mileage that may not be warranted but is certainly believable and corresponds to the low mileage upon purchase and the sparing use over the past thirty-five years.Presented to auction with the aforementioned history file detailing the considerable sums expended during the late 1980s, a fresh MOT Certificate valid until 12th July 2022 and resplendent in Signal Red with Ivory leather, we welcome any inspection of this splendid little Pagoda.

Freshly serviced, this manual gearbox 550 is in simply fabulous condition.Supplied in right-hand drive to Hong Kong by Auto Italia HK Ltd.Imported into the UK in 2012. Bill of Lading in the fileThe 48-valve, 5.5-litre V12 develops 485bhp at 7,000rpmUnusual but very attractive combination of Rosso Corsa with Bordeaux leather Approximately 26,700 miles with a comprehensive service recordJust returned from a full service and MOT at Ferrari Birmingham which included belts and a new Alarm Immobilizer System (£2000)Cherished registration number, F12 SSO, will remain with the carA fabulous example worthy of any inspection Firmly placed in Ferrari's history as one of their finest modern-era big GTs, the 550 Maranello's combination of elegant lines and legendary front-mounted 12-cylinder engine, meant that these cars had the potential to become instant classics. Following in the footsteps and sharing the DNA of the 365 GTB/4 'Daytona', the 550 Maranello is inevitability compared to its forbear. Few front-engined Ferraris have quite justified that comparison quite like the 550 Maranello.Styled by Pininfarina, like its illustrious predecessor, the 550 Maranello was similarly proportioned, adopting the classical combination of long bonnet, a small cabin and a truncated tail. Classic Ferrari styling cues include a bonnet air scoop and hot air outlets behind the front wheel-arches recalling the great Competizione Ferraris of the past, whilst the rear incorporates Ferrari's characteristic twin circular lights.The heart of any Ferrari is its engine, and the 550 Maranello's 48-valve, 5.5-litre V12 develops 485bhp at 7,000rpm. The powertrain was housed in a tubular steel chassis, to which was attached aluminium coachwork, whilst the all-independent suspension incorporated dual-mode (normal/sports) damping, switch-selectable by the driver, which was complemented by speed-sensitive power-assisted steering.The six-speed manual gearbox complements a slightly more even torque curve ensuring that the power delivery was a little less frenetic, whilst excellent weight distribution and delightful road manners make the 550 Maranello a truly refined driving machine, whilst still capable of almost 200 mph. With styling that is ageing particularly well, a high-quality cabin, generous storage and an enormous 100-litre-plus fuel tank, the 550 Maranello really is the consummate 'European Grand Tourer' in the true Ferrari mould.This sparkling 550 was originally supplied in right-hand drive to Hong Kong by Auto Italia HK Ltd. and first registered there on 1/08/1997. Some years later, in 2012, it was imported into the UK and registered here on 12/11/12. All the relevant shipping and DVLA documents are in the car's history file together with details of its two UK owners, all the MOTs and a 550 Instruction Manual. It's finished in the traditional Rosso Corsa but, unusually, the interior is in Bordeaux Red leather, a combination that you might have thought would clash when looking at the colour swatches in a dealer's office but, in reality, works really well. The odometer reads 4,471 miles which is the distance covered since the car was in the UK but prior to the KPH/MPH speedo-head change (Graypaul) we understand that it had covered some 34,000km (21,250miles) in HK, meaning a total mileage of less than 26,000, all supported by a comprehensive service history.07/04/98 1,000km Auto Italia Ferrari dealer HK Service31/07/00 10,000km Auto Italia Ferrari dealer HK Cam belts07/02/02 11,424km Auto Italia Ferrari dealer HK Service19/03/02 11,654km Auto Italia Ferrari dealer HK Service03/11/03 21,083km Auto Italia Ferrari dealer HK Service and belts28/05/04 22,845km Auto Italia Ferrari dealer HK Service27/11/04 23,578km Auto Italia Ferrari dealer HK Service25/02/06 25,578 Italian Motors Ferrari dealer HK Service06/11/06 25,988km Italian Motors Ferrari dealer HK Service and belts06/03/07 26,511km Italian Motors Ferrari dealer HK Service12/06/07 27,072km Italian Motors Ferrari dealer HK Cam Belts06/03/08 28,265km Italian Motors Ferrari dealers HK Service19/02/09 28,896km Italian Motors Ferrari dealer HK Service22/10/09 29,263km Italian Motors Ferrari dealer HK Service16/03/11 32,676km Italian Motors Ferrari dealer HK Service and belts22/03/12 34,814km Italian Motors Ferrari dealer HK Service22/02/13 81miles Bob Houghton Service and belts28/03/14 2,357miles Bob Houghton Service13/08/15 4,360miles Graypaul Nottingham Service and belts18/08/16 4,365miles Ferrari Birmingham Service29/08/17 4,388miles Ferrari Birmingham Service31/08/18 4,411miles Ferrari Birmingham Service and belts29/08/19 4,434miles Ferrari Birmingham ServiceWe understand that it's booked in to Ferrari Birmingham for a service and belts and will confirm at the time of the auction that this has taken place.

This beautiful Quattrovalvole Spider is undoubtedly one of the nicest examples we have seen for years.Resplendent in Rosso with a complementing black interiorThe subject of a four-year restoration including body, interior and mechanicalsSupplied with a lovely in-depth history file, workshop and owners manualsLast serviced by Keys Motorsport in August 2020 at 53,052 milesWith just 53,000 miles, sparkling paintwork and an engine refresh, this could be a very sensible investmentDesigned as a replacement for the 246 Dino and launched at the Paris Motor Show in 1975, the 308GT was built alongside the 308GT4. Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti, the man who styled some of the most iconic Ferraris including the Daytona, the new 308 sported rakish and attractive bodywork which fused classic elements of Ferrari styling with a thoroughly modern design. For the first two years of production, the body of the 308 was produced in fibreglass, after which, steel was used. The 308 shared a tubular frame chassis similar to the original Dino and 308GT4 from which was hung four wheel, double-wishbone, independent suspension. The engine was a V8 unit which was positioned behind the driver and transversely mounted with double overhead camshafts and four 40DCNF Weber carburettors, latterly replaced with Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection. At the 1982 Paris Motor Show, Ferrari introduced the 308 'Quattrovalvole', in GTB and GTS form and the main change from its predecessor were the four valves per cylinder—hence its name, quattrovalvole, literally 'four valves' in Italian—which pushed output back up to 240hp restoring some of the performance lost to the emission-control equipment. The interior also received some minor updates including a satin-black, three-spoke steering wheel with triangular centre and cloth seat-centres became available as an option to the standard full leather.This beautiful Quattrovalvole Spider is undoubtedly one of the nicest examples we have seen for years. It's classically finished in Rosso with a Nero interior and has been with its current owner for 11 years during which time the car has been lovingly and painstakingly restored. Excluding the glass-out repaint, some £17,000 has been invested in this lovely Ferrari bringing it up to the splendid condition that it displays today. £7,000 worth of this relates to a single invoice in 2018 from marque guru, Terry Keys, which details a complete engine strip-down, the re-machining of 32 valve guides, new timing belt, HT leads and plugs and various ancillary parts to complete the build including a water pump and of course new gaskets. Keys Motorsport were also responsible for the car's stunning paintwork, however, there is no receipt for this.The interior also received attention with the seat facings being replaced with fresh leather, along with the door cards and dash top, all finished off with a new carpet set, making the cabin a terrific place to be. A453 HPK is accompanied by a lovely in depth history file, 308 Workshop Manual, Ferrari Spares Catalogue along with the Owners Manuals etc. housed within the original book pack presenter and has no less than 23 old MOT Certificates including the very first one. There is also an invoice for the very first service completed by Cairnwell Garage of Aberdeen for the sum of £306.73, quite a bill for 1985 . The wheels and tyres have also been replaced as the car was running on old style TRX metric rubber and now sits on 16” rims making tyre replacement a lot easier. This has been a labour of love but now this sparkling QV is at the top of its game and with just 53,000 miles and an engine refresh, could be a very sensible investment.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 308 GTSI QVYear: 1984Chassis Number: 48585Registration Number: A453 HPRTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 48585Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 53200 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

A rust-free 1974 911 with a very cool 'Outlaw' look and a 'hot' 2.7 to 'S' specification engine.Purchased by our vendor from California in July 2017; upon arrival in the UK, it was thoroughly inspected and a work list prepared, the brief was to create a semi-lightweight hot-rod/outlaw-look 911 with a hot engineAfter inspection, the car was found to be completely rust-free and had never been welded; the 1974 911 2.7 is a relatively rare car, and is always popular with re-creators to build  1974 3.0 RS and RSR race replicasThe engine was removed and sent to ‘Carrera Performance’, where it was fully stripped and fitted with a new crank, barrels, and pistons (2.7), ‘S’-spec camshafts and a lightened flywheel, whilst the injection system was also fully overhauledA sports back-box and SSI heat-exchangers were also fitted, now giving a glorious sound; the body was painted in Porsche colour Crayon (to match our vendor’s new GT3), and it's had a full suspension geometry set upThe interior has leather buckets fitted, a bolt-in roll-cage and fire extinguisher, plus lightweight carpet and door panels/pulls, the front luggage compartment is trimmed with a Carbone carpet setThe Porsche 911 was developed as a much more powerful, larger, more comfortable replacement for the Porsche 356, the company's first model and essentially a sporting evolution of the Volkswagen Beetle. The new car made its public debut at the 1963 Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung, better known to English speakers as the Frankfurt Motor Show.After 11 years in production, the Porsche 911 received its first serious facelift when 'Model Year 1974' saw the introduction of the new torque-rich, smoother, cleaner, and more economical ‘G-programme’ 2.7-litre models, including the 150bhp 911, 175bhp 911S and 210bhp Carrera. MY1974 also heralded the dawn of impact bumpers to conform with the new US low-speed protection requirements. These bumpers being so successfully integrated into the design, that they remained unchanged for 15 years. These models also had new interiors with new seats and integrated head restraints, door trims and side window demist vents on the dash. In retrospect, the 1974 911 was the first ‘worldwide car’ that Porsche produced.The 1974 911 2.7 is a relatively rare car and is always popular with re-creators planning to build ‘74 3.0 RS and RSR race replicas. This example was purchased by our vendor from California in July 2017 and, upon its arrival in the UK, it was thoroughly inspected and a worklist prepared, the brief being to create a semi-lightweight hot-rod/outlaw-look 911 with a hot engine.After inspection, the car was found to be completely rust-free and appeared never to have been welded. The engine was removed and sent to Porsche specialist ‘Carrera Performance’ of Horsham, where it was fully stripped and fitted with a new crank, barrels, and pistons (2.7), ‘S’-spec camshafts and a lightened flywheel, whilst the injection system was also fully overhauled. A sports back-box and the popular ‘SSI’ heat exchangers were also fitted, helping the engine run cooler, and increasing both horsepower and torque in addition to sounding fantastic.The bodywork was painted in Porsche colour Crayon (to match our vendor’s new GT3), and it's had a full suspension geometry set up. The interior is fitted with high-quality leather bucket seats, a bolt-in roll-cage, fire extinguisher, lightweight carpet and door panels/pulls and the front luggage compartment is trimmed with a ‘CarBone’ carpet set.A properly-sorted classic 911 now with the ‘go and looks’ to warrant real admiration, the ‘Outlaw’ style is topical and rather 'cool' and this special 911 would be very welcome at any ‘Sunday Scramble’ or ‘Boxengasse’ gathering. SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 2.7Year: 1974Chassis Number: 9114101665Registration Number: VMR 490MTransmission: ManualEngine Number: TBCDrive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDClick here for more details and images

One of the rarest, modern-day Porsche special-editions; only two examples were allocated to the UK, just 2,800 miles from new.Porsche celebrates its return to top flight Le Mans with the 911 Carrera S 'Martini Racing Edition'Based on the 991 Carrera 2S, with the mighty 394bhp 3.8-litre flat-six engine and seven-speed PDK paddle-shift gearboxJust 80 Martini Racing Edition examples were produced worldwide (40 white/40 black), just two were officially allocated to the UK£19,000 more than a standard Carrera 2SThe bonnet, roof and rear wing get bold Martini graphics (in signature blue and red) whilst the Aerokit Cup body-kit adds a more intricate front splitter and fixed rear spoilerInside, there are yet more smatterings of blue and red, while Porsche’s sport steering wheel and Sport Chrono extras are standard. The option boxes for satnav, phone connectivity, a Bose stereo and electric leather seats are also tickedAs Martini is arguably the most iconic livery worn by any Porsche, a Martini-liveried Porsche can be found at the top of any enthusiast’s wish list. Worn by the dominant 917 and 935, this partnership was short lived, and the two brands separated in the late 1970s. Martini’s trademark blue and red stripes would not be seen on another Porsche until 2013, when a Martini-clad 911 GT3 RSR once again took to the track. For its road-going customers, Porsche quickly seized the opportunity to build a 911 sporting the same iconic colours.In 2014 Porsche released a special edition 911 to celebrate the manufacturer’s return to top-flight racing at Le Mans. The ‘Martini Racing Edition’ 991 Carrera S came courtesy of the Exclusive department.All Martini Racing Edition 991s were equipped with the 'Aerokit Cup', as well as the Sport Chrono package, PCM Navigation system, Bose stereo, full electric seats, sports steering wheel and numerous Martini-inspired interior accents. The cars were only offered to select European markets, as well as China, Japan and Latin America (interestingly not to the US or Germany). Only 80 examples were produced, and of those, 40 were finished black with the other half being finished in Carrera White.Delivered new to a UK customer, this particular Martini Edition Carrera S was seldom driven and has been kept in virtually as-new condition, covering only 2,800 miles in total. Purchased by its current owner in 2018 and forming part of a small collection, it remains in superb condition today and would be a worthy addition to any collection of rare Porsches.Professional images to follow soon (N.B. the registration 'D83 RRY' will not be coming with the car). SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 991 MARTINI EDITIONYear: 2014Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99ZES114598Registration Number: D83 RRYTransmission: PDKEngine Number: E14045 Odometer Reading: 2800 MilesMake: Click here for more details and images

A UK-supplied, manual gearbox, Gen l Turbo with the legendary Mezger 3.6-litre engine and just 22,000 miles with two owners.UK-supplied (C16) right-hand drive 911 (997.1) Turbo in Silver with Sport Chrono package6-speed manual gearbox, the most involving and driver-focused means of swapping cogsLegendary Mezger 3.6-litre engine; 480bhp, 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 193mphOur privateer vendor bought it from Porsche Silverstone Porsche when only five months oldJust 22,644 miles, FSH, been SORN’d and garaged for a few years, but will come with a full service for auctionGen l 3.6 engine so doesn’t suffer potential engine issues of Gen ll Turbo carsThe Porsche 911 needs little in the way of introduction and the signature model of the road car line-up has, since 1975, always been the Turbo. When it first appeared, the 911 Turbo was something to be feared. Drivers clung on to this fearsome thing, its 258bhp making it one of the quickest production cars on sale. Each successive generation saw the 911 Turbo become more powerful and better resolved. By the time the water-cooled '996' generation car appeared in 1999, the Turbo had become genuinely civilised; rocket-ship-fast but civilised, nonetheless.The '997' generation 911 was an evolution of the 996 with many changes designed to improve quality while retaining that car's winning blend of performance and usability. Although the 911 (997) Carrera models appeared in 2004, it wasn't until 2006 that the Turbo version was launched. First shown at that year's Geneva Show, it was initially offered as a coupe (and later as a cabriolet) with an impressive specification. The Mezger 3.6-litre engine was continued, now producing 480bhp at 6,000 rpm and featuring VarioCam Plus and a pair of clever Borg Warner variable geometry turbochargers - a totally new technology for Porsche. With a manual gearbox, the 997 Turbo requires just 3.9 seconds to reach 62 mph and will go on to 193 mph. Power is transmitted to all four wheels with Porsche Traction Management (PTM) which uses an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch. This intelligent technology provides variable drive to each axle. The front/rear split is continuously adjusted based on current road conditions and driver inputs. Although biased towards the rear, the front receives more power whenever the situation requires.The car presented here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 2006 Porsche 911 (997) Turbo Generation I - which, importantly, means it utilises the well-proven and legendary 'Mezger' race-derived engine, which has a bulletproof reputation and doesn't suffer the same potential faults as the engine found in 997 Carreras or the later 997 Turbo Gen ll cars (launched in September 2009).It was purchased by our vendor from Porsche Centre Silverstone when it was just 5 months old. He has used it only sparingly and has ensured it has always been garaged and regularly serviced. As his business life was so busy, the car was carefully 'moth-balled', put on SORN and tucked away in his high-quality, dry and well insulated garage. It happily slumbered here for the last few years being protected from the British weather and salty roads, whilst, of course, not racking up any miles; this original, low owner car has now been treated to full service and is ready for a new owner to use to the full and enjoy.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 997 TURBOYear: 2006Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99Z7S780453Registration Number: RF06 DLVTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 62701202 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 22663 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

These final cars (before being replaced by the more complicated 964) were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche's original design. Launched in 1984, and reviving the 'Carrera' name for the first time since 1977, these were the ultimate 1980s sports cars.The all-alloy flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, producing a torque-rich 231 bhp - enough to propel the lithe and slippery coupe to over 150 mph, with 0-60 mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. Cars built from September 1986 onwards were fitted with the more user-friendly G50 Getrag gearbox, but all 3.2 Carreras feature galvanized bodies, which together with Porsche's legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long-lasting.Offered here is a beautiful, German-supplied (C-00), left-hand drive, 911 3.2 Carrera Cabriolet first registered on 18th March 1988. We can imagine that the first owner would have been rather pleased with their specification choice when taking delivery of this 911 in the spring of '88 ready for summer. This specification included Grand Prix White with black hood, heated seats, sport seats with electric height adjustment, electric hood catch, alarm system, and the newly-introduced G50 5-speed manual gearbox.Today this stunning, well spec'd, 3.2 presents beautifully and was reading just under 63,000km at the time of cataloguing. We understand it had been in long-term storage before undergoing an extensive program of refurbishment which included a full engine and transmission rebuild. Whilst the engine was out the bodywork received attention prior to a full respray in its original Grand Prix White. At some point the car has been fitted with 'Turbo-look' front and rear wheel arches adding to the appeal of this classic Porsche. The engine was reinstalled with a new clutch and exhaust, the brakes serviced with rebuilt callipers, discs and pads and the traditional Fuchs alloy wheels were refinished.Accompanying the car is a small history file consisting of the original driver's manual, Certificate of Authenticity, spare keys, the most recent MOT(expired in January 2020) and the current V5 logbook which mentions just one former keeper.In summary, this is an opportunity to take ownership of an original G-Series, 3.2 Carrera Cabriolet with a distinctive Turbo-look, that's well presented and maintained and has benefitted from significant recent expenditure.  SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 3.2 CARRERAYear: 1988Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ91ZJS150646Registration Number: E132XUGTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 63J02201/M93020Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 62883 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

Unrepeatable, 39 miles only on this unregistered 1990, as new, Rover Mini Cooper RSP.Of the 1,650 RSP Mini-Coopers built,1,050 stayed in the UKThis is car number 948 out of those 1,050. Un-registeredFinished in BR Green (RWV) with a White Roof (NMN)39.9 miles from new with four owners, the first until 2013Kept in controlled storage all its lifeOriginal tyres, original fluids, dealer wrap and factory WaxoylAn exciting and, probably unrepeatable, opportunity to own an unregistered, 31 years old, showroom-fresh, limited edition Mini Cooper RSP.John Cooper had been selling his own modified Minis under the ‘Mini-Cooper’ name from the mid-1980s, before Rover’s acquisition of the rights to the brand made it possible to officially re-launch the model. As a prelude to series production, which commenced in September 1990, Rover’s Special Products division built a limited run of cars in the summer of that year. More luxurious than the production version that followed, the ‘RSP’ or ‘Limited Edition’ Mini-Cooper was based on the Mini 30 and featured a striped bonnet, leather trim, red leather-bound steering wheel, wooden dashboard and tinted glass, and was powered the 1,275cc MG Metro engine. The Mini-Cooper’s revival after nearly 20 years out of production occasioned enormous interest and the Special Products-developed limited edition cars sold out immediately. Of the 1,650 RSP Mini-Coopers built, 600 were exported while the remaining 1,050 stayed in the UK. Today these RSP Limited Edition Mini-Coopers are among the most sought after of all Minis. This is car number 948 out of those 1,050 and to date has covered 39 miles from new. It's one of the 200 or so that were finished in British Racing Green with a white roof and the interior is standard RSP with red carpets and red leather-bound steering wheel. A number of these special cars were purchased with investment in mind and, imagine that must have been the case with #948, as it was put into humidified storage from brand new with just delivery miles. We understand its first owner hailed from the Midlands and he kept the car until 2013 prior to two more short-term owners and subsequently becoming the property of our vendor in 2014.Naturally, there is very little history with the Mini, apart from ownership details, as you might expect from a car that's never been anywhere, but that doesn't matter as it presents like a new car, which it, sort of, is. It's still protected by some of the wrap that would have been present when it left the dealership and there is evidence of the under body protective fluid used by the factory 31 years ago. It remains on its original tyres and still contains its original fluids, which would obviously have to be replaced if the RSP was to be enjoyed on the road. The odometer is just about to creep over from 39 to 40 miles although how much further it goes depends on its new owner. Number #948 is well-known in RSP circles and Roger Hunt from the RSP Register is knowledgeable and helpful.An exciting and, probably unrepeatable, opportunity to own an unregistered, 31 years old, showroom-fresh, limited edition Mini Cooper RSP.   SpecificationMake: MINIModel: COOPER RSPYear: 1990Chassis Number: SAXXNNAMBAD010948Registration Number: UNREGISTEREDTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 100699Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 39 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

Supplying Porsche main dealer service history with just 27,310 miles covered by our 91 year old vendor from new.Supplied new to our vendor by Dick Lovett Porsche, Swindon on the 02/01/1990 Finished in Alpine White with a Blue Pinstripe interior and a five-speed manual gearbox Optioned with electric seats, central locking, fog lights, headlight levelling and washers Used sparingly. The current mileage is 27,310 (atoc). MOT until October 2021 The service book is stamped only by the supplying dealer, now known as Porsche Centre Bristol and it was last serviced some 600 miles ago The history file contains the Porsche book pack and service/maintenance invoices and every MOT Certificate, corroborating the indicated mileage Our ninety-one year old vendor’s sincere wish is for the next owner to cherish and enjoy this car as he hasFollowing 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. 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.Reliable, hugely popular and eminently driveable most examples available today have very high mileages and a low mileage car from single ownership is incredibly rare. It is therefore an honour for Silverstone Auctions to offer this car to market on the behalf of our ninety-one year old vendor, Mr Mills. On the 2nd of January 1990, Mr Mills took delivery of this 2.7-litre, 944 in Alpine White with a 5-speed manual gearbox optioned with electric seats, central locking, front fog lights, headlight-levelling and washers. It also has “extended cloth” meaning that the attractive blue pinstripe cloth is extended to the centre panels, bolsters on the seats and half the door cards. We are told the split rear seats were a very rare option at the time and rarely fitted to the standard 2.7. Mr Mills returned to the supplying main dealer, Dick Lovett Porsche (now Porsche Centre Bristol) for every service, covering a few thousand miles a year during the 1990s and early 2000s. For the last decade, the car has been exercised regularly on short journeys, averaging 300 miles annually, and MOT'd every year with the current certificate valid until the 22nd October 2021. We recommend that the buyer should fit a full set of new tyres to the car, as per the advisory notice on the last MOT test. We also note a small tear to the centre console cubby box lid.The 944 Register Secretary of the Porsche Club GB, Mike Pollack, inspected the car in May of this year and we quote him here with his permission: “The overall condition of the car is extremely good, there is no sign of any rust in the common areas or anywhere else. There is evidence of regular servicing, clean oil and hydraulic fluids etc., the amount of still bright cadmium plate is fantastic and the interior is as beautiful as you would expect.” The Porsche is presented to auction with a detailed history file that includes, from what we can gather, every MOT from new, receipts, book pack and service book showing only main dealer stamps. This 944 has come from a loving home and our vendor sincerely wishes that the next custodian cherishes it has he has. We conclude that this car would make a perfect first “classic” Porsche or alternatively join a collection of important motor cars as one of the best examples of the model on the market.

Very well preserved, ex-Patrick Collection, Golf GTi Cabriolet with just under 12,000 miles.UK-supplied, right-hand drive 1983 Golf GTI 1.8 Cabriolet with only 11,861 miles from new and just two previous ownersFinished in classic 80s colours with gleaming Arctic White paintwork, untouched white cloth sports seats and a white soft topBenefiting from custom-fitted seat covers from new, the seats are described as pristineOffered from 32-years long-term ownership, maintained correctly and always dry-storedEvidence of factory-applied Waxoyl still present on the undersideAccompanied by a detailed history file with receipts and invoices, a clean new MOT (June 22) and spare keysThe VW Golf is surely one of the most iconic 'hot-hatches' ever conceived. Its popularity has never diminished and a plethora of variants and styles have always been hungrily anticipated and universally enjoyed by the car's cult following all of whom treasure the next instalment from Volkswagen. Whilst many motorists today appreciate the exhilaration of roof-down 'wind-in-your-hair' motoring, few are willing to forego saloon-car comfort in order to enjoy it, however, the Golf GTi cabriolet makes any such sacrifice unnecessary having been designed and built by one of the world's most experienced builders of open-touring cars - Karmann of Osnabruck. Lower the hood - a simple matter of releasing two clasps - and you're ready to take advantage of every moment of sunshine which a British Summer can muster.Offered here is a wonderfully well preserved 1983 Golf GTi Cabriolet that once formed part of the 'Patrick Collection', a museum with an eclectic display of historically significant classic cars. It was first registered in August 1983 and today is showing a little under 12,000 miles on the odometer.It's presented in classic 80s colours with gleaming Artic White paintwork, untouched white cloth sports seats and a white hood. We are informed that the car has been maintained and dry stored correctly from new with custom fitted seat covers preserving the sports seats. The underside of the car still displays much of the factory-applied Waxoyl and there are no areas of corrosion to report.Accompanying this GTi is a history file with receipts and invoices for maintenance over the years including old MOTs and a current fresh MOT due to expire July 2022. Offered from long-term ownership, we understand that it starts on-the-button and still turns heads on sunny days Rarely do examples this good come to market and here we have a great opportunity to take ownership of a rare ‘drop top’ version of the legendary Golf GTi.

Small size, big character; an exceptional example of the Austrian Automakers classic 500.Rarely seen in the UK, a delightful example with remarkably low indicated mileage, fresh from a beautiful restoration and full engine rebuildItalian-supplied in 1958, the car was found in Rome belonging to a local doctor, before being sourced by our vendor five years agoLovingly restored in Rome and Bologna by passionate Italian craftsmen, body finished in  Primrose with an Apple Green and Cream two-tone interiorAs part of its recent restoration in 2017, the car received a full engine rebuild, including new Weber carb and Bosch ignition, and our vendor says that it starts and runs flawlessly todayOnly 567km (352 miles) since the restorationImported to the UK in 2017 and first registered here on 01/01/2018Supplied with the factory build sheet, owner's handbook (in Italian), a letter of authentication from the Steyr-Puch Club of Austria signed and stamped by the Club President, restoration photographsVisually almost identical to the stalwart of Italian motoring that is the Fiat 500, the Steyr-Puch 500 was far more than an Austrian 500 built under license.Founded in 1934, Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG produced everything from military machinery and weapons to tractors, planes and cars, both during peacetime and in times of conflict. Following the second world war, the company was able to resume automobile production with thanks to help from Fiat, though long-gone were the heady days of producing four and six-cylinder engined cars, instead having to rely on small, economical cars, such as the 500 which was built under licence as part of their manufacturing partnership with Fiat. This partnership also included Steyr-Puch becoming the official importer of Fiat vehicles, along with modifying the cars for the domestic Austrian market’s requirements.For the S-P 500, Fiat supplied the chassis, front end and interior - all of which are identical to the Fiat-built car - but Steyr-Puch made a few mechanical changes, most notably the inclusion of a ZF gearbox, and replacing the usual Fiat 500 engine with a 493cc boxer-twin.Internally, these Austrian 500s received different upholstery and a speedometer that turns counter-clockwise, whilst on the outside larger air intakes allowed for more efficient engine cooling and underneath the Steyr-Puch 500 also sported enlarged drum brakes and improved shock absorbers for better ride quality.This particular 1958-registered example was built during the second year of Steyr-Puch 500 production, and was brought to the vendor’s attention by an agent in Germany, who was selling the car on behalf of the previous owner, who resided in Italy.The prior owner had this ‘500’ restored not once, but twice during his ownership, in both Rome and Bologna, leaving this S-P 500 in factory-fresh condition, and around 300 photographs of the restoration process are included with the vehicle, detailing the work that was carried out.Naturally, for a car of such quality, it starred in an Italian classic car magazine - a copy of which is included with the car - before being imported into the UK by its current owner in late 2017, and registered on its current plate on 01 January 2018.In total, around 567km (c.350 miles) have been recorded on the odometer since the restoration, meaning this is about as close to a box-fresh, Steyr-Puch 500 as you’ll likely ever find, and the condition of the vehicle certainly reflects its low mileage.Regarding the documentation, alongside the aforementioned photographs of the restoration process, the owner also has a selection of documentation and paperwork from the car’s time in Italy, the factory build-sheet, an owner’s handbook (in Italian) and a letter from the Steyr-Puch club of Austria confirming the authenticity of the car, which is also signed and stamped by the club’s President.Internally, externally and mechanically, this Graz-built 500 is in outstanding condition, with no signs of any wear, tear or patina that we can see. A true icon of the motoring world and with an unusual back-story that few other 500s can boast, this rare Steyr-Puch 500 is a wonderful collector's piece and ready to enjoy.SpecificationMake: STEYR-PUCHModel: 500Year: 1958Chassis Number: 5103665Registration Number: 731 UYYTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 5103700 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 567 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: Green Leather Click here for more details and images

A fully restored, HY pick-up, now UK-registered and ready to be enjoyed or promote that business.The versatile H-Type or HY van, in various configurations, was produced by the French automaker Citroën between 1947 and 1981Very evocative of the French 'joie de vivre' and ideal for food trucks, mobile bars, brand advertisingAn original configuration pick-up style HY vanDiscovered in a very original state in the South of France, bodywork was exceptional for its age and was still accompanied by its original tools and wheel-braceImported to the UK where it was fully restored by 'Autostore' of Cambridge, including a complete respray, a rebuilt engine (with new liners), and new brakes; passed its MOT just requiring new tyres, which it is now fitted withAll the hard work has been done, just needs a new owner to utilise its marketing potential The Citroën H Van is a light truck (or delivery van) produced between 1947 and 1981 and was developed as a simple front-wheel drive van after World War II. A total of 473,289 were produced in 34 years in factories in both France and Belgium but were not sold in the UK in right-hand drive.The engine, gearbox and many smaller parts are well known from other Citroën models; the headlights and speedometer were identical to the 2CV for many years. The distinctive corrugated body work was inspired by the German Junkers aircraft of the 1930s with the ribs providing strength without adding weight and requiring only simple, low-cost press tools. The flat body panels were braced on the inside by 'top hat' box sections at right angles to the ribs. Rear hinged 'suicide' cab doors were used until the end of production in 1981.The HY pickup-configuration van presented here is from 1970 and was discovered in an original state in the South of France; the bodywork was exceptional for its age and, remarkably, it was still accompanied by its original tools and wheel-brace. Imported by a friend of our vendor (our vendor subsequently fell for this characterful van and bought it) with the intention of using it for his building firm, adding a bit of PR as it was driven around London. After restoration, which included a full respray and engine rebuild, with respected engineers at 'Autostore' of Cambridge, it was deemed just too good for a builder’s run-around.It has been thoroughly enjoyed and attracted much attention wherever it goes, but our vendor is finding he has less time to use it. Professionally stored with Autostore since restoration, this is a fantastic classic vehicle, as iconic in its own way as the heralded Citroën DS, and will turn as many heads! Offered at ‘No Reserve’, this HY van would add brand awareness or presence to any business or make a great base for a French-themed carnival float! SpecificationMake: CITROËNModel: HY VANYear: 1970Chassis Number: 5228433Registration Number: LWT 346HEngine Number: 0420003168 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

Almost all of the 45 shells fired hit the SM U-83 which sank. Q.5 was taken in tow just in time and was safely beached. On 22 March 1916, another U-boat, SM U-68 was sunk by Farnborough."]
