Registration No: N848 WUP Chassis No: SAJJFKLG3BJ781196 MOT: March 2025Presented in the rare colour combination of Glacier White with a Savile Grey Leather interiorImported from Japan in 2022Offered with original Japanese book pack and evidence of recent maintenanceDisplaying only 121,456 km (75,469 miles) at the time of consignment, corroborated by the accompanying history fileThe first Jaguar XJ was launched in 1968 and the XJ designation has been used for successive Jaguar flagship models ever since. The original model was the last Jaguar saloon to have had the input of Sir William Lyons, the company's founder. The Jaguar XJ (X300) was manufactured between 1994 and 1997 and was the first XJ produced entirely under Ford ownership and can be considered an evolution of the outgoing XJ40 generation. Like all previous XJ generations, it features the Jaguar independent rear suspension arrangement with the design emphasis on improved build quality, improved reliability and a return to traditional Jaguar styling elements. The X300 was stylistically intended to evoke the image of the more curvaceous series XJ. The front of the car was redesigned significantly to return to four individual round headlamps that provided definition to the sculptured bonnet. Mechanically, it was similar to the XJ40 that it replaced. Six-cylinder X300s are powered by the AJ16 inline-six engine which is a further enhancement of the AJ6 engine that uses an electronic distributor-less ignition system.Supplied to the Japanese market on the 8th July 1996, chassis SAJJFKLG3BJ781196 was specified in Glacier White with a Savile Grey leather interior. Supplied with the original book pack, there are a number of service invoices on file from this period. Imported into the UK in 2020, the first UK owner would have the car serviced in December 2020 and kept the car in his private collection prior to having it registered with the DVLA in 2022. The XJ would continue to be maintained to a very high standard with a number of invoices on file from his period of ownership. During June 2022, the Jaguar was sold once more and remained in his custodianship until October 2023, when it was acquired by the vendor. The vendor has continued the high standard of maintenance, with a recent service in July 2024; he also opted to have the rear windows professionally tinted to modernise its specification.'N848 WUP' is described by the vendor as being a 'very good' example and pointed out that at the last service, the specialists commented that it was a 'notably clean example' and described it as 'rust free'. The vendor pointed out that the offside front wing has an area where the paint has lifted, but also advised that it 'drives very well'.

Registration No: JLO 110K Chassis No: 1S50350 MOT: ExemptOne of just 2,116 right-hand drive examples and fitted with the desirable manual gearboxMatching chassis and engine numbersSubject of a full professional restoration in 2010 in its original colour combinationOffered with a history file including the Jaguar Heritage CertificateLast of the line, the Jaguar E-type Series III was introduced in 1971. Longer, wider and more comfortable than its predecessors, the newcomer blurred the lines between sports car and grand tourer. Powered by a turbine-smooth all-alloy SOHC 5343cc V12 engine allied to either Jaguar four-speed manual or Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission, the refined manner in which it performed (contemporary road tests spoke of 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds and 150mph) simply blew road testers away. Benefitting from a broader track, ventilated disc brakes, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and Lucas transistorised ignition, the Series III was visually distinguished by its 'egg-crate' grille, flared wheel arches and purposeful quad-exhaust pipes. Available in Fixed-Head Coupe (2+2-seater) or Roadster (2-seater) guises, it remained in volume production until 1974 (though, a special commemorative run of forty-nine Black-painted roadsters was released the following year).Chassis number ‘1S50350’ was despatched new on the 17th September 1971 to the supplying dealer, Charles Follett, London W1 and thereafter was sold to the first owner, a Mrs K. Gaze. It was finished from new in Light Blue paintwork with a Dark Blue interior upholstery, pleasingly the colour scheme in which it is still presented today. Desirable for being both a manual gearbox car and a matching numbers example, ‘JLO 110K’ was lavished with a comprehensive restoration in 2010, including a full bodywork renovation with the bodywork stripped and restored with a focus upon saving as much of the original metalwork as possible. More recently, it has benefitted from a fuel system refresh in 2017 and full servicing, with new spark plugs as well as rear exhaust box and tailpipes in 2022.Starting readily and both running and driving very well during the recent photography session, the Jaguar is offered with a credible recorded mileage of 81,500 miles on the odometer. Accompanied by a history file comprising the JHT Heritage Certificate, a collection of invoices and previous MOTs, a maintenance chart, operating, maintenance and service handbook, ownership history and a current V5C document. UK-supplied, manual gearbox, matching numbers examples are highly desirable E-Types and with this V12 Coupe being all of these and having been provided a full restoration in its original colour scheme, is certainly one to consider.

Registration No: FSF 780X Chassis No: 92370CV700509 MOT: ExemptOnly 2 former keepers and in current family ownership since 1987In regular use up until March 2020 and has been dry stored sinceBelieved to be an ex-Forestry Commission commercial vehicleIdeal winter projectLaunched in 1963 by Vauxhall subsidiary Bedford Vehicles, the HA van was based on the Vauxhall Viva HA saloon car and proved so popular that it remained in production for 20 years. Initially fitted with a 1,057cc four-cylinder engine, this grew to 1,159cc in 1967 and finally to 1,256cc with payload options rated as 6cwt (HAE) or heavy-duty 8cwt (HAV) and a 10cwt option. With 48bhp on tap and driving through a four-speed all-synchro gearbox, it had a top speed of 60mph and 39mpg economy. Immensely popular with utility companies, no Seventies town or village street scene was complete without a British Gas, GPO or British Telecom, Post Office or even Forestry Commission HA van scurrying about its daily business. In the 1980s, the rebranding of the government-operated Post Office Telecommunications in 1981 led to the bold Bright Yellow British Telecom service vehicles being seen on the roads of the UK. Outliving the Viva HA saloon by almost five years, it soldiered on virtually unaltered until it was finally replaced by the new Astravan/Astramax in 1983.Coming to auction at ‘no reserve’, this Bedford 10cwt van is believed to have seen service on the Forestry Commission fleet, as suggested by the Moss Green paintwork and pine cones on the dashboard. It has been stored for the past 4 years after an illness left the vendor unable to drive it, being laid up and not seeing the light of day since 2020. The 10cwt (0.5 ton) van was previously MOT'd regularly and often used for classic car events. Unfortunately, the vendor's deteriorating health has led to the car being laid up since 2020. A fantastic opportunity to acquire an example of these sought-after vehicles, it would make an ideal project for somebody. It is being offered with a current V5C.*Please note, the final Image is of this exact vehicle from some years ago at a car show. This image was created by Simon GP Geoghegan who has allowed to show the car at it's full potential.

Registration No: B429 MLL Chassis No: SCC085912EHD11860 MOT: ExemptJust 45,000 miles and seven previous keepers from newDesirable home-market RHD exampleApproximately £5,000 in expenditure, since acquisition in 2019Original handbook and a comprehensive history fileLaunched in 1976, the Esprit was designed by Giorgetto Guigiaro alongside mastermind Colin Chapman. The Series 1, or S1 Esprit, was fitted with a 1,973 cc four cylinder engine, producing 160 bhp. The wedge shaped fibreglass body was mounted to a steel chassis, with the engine planted directly behind the occupants. This drove the rear wheels via a Citroen C35 5-speed manual gearbox. Praised for its handling, the S1 was a force to be reckoned with on the twisty bits, although it did receive some criticism for being underpowered. The S2 was launched just two years later, with a revised body that included cooling ducts behind the rear quarter windows, and the rear lights from a Rover SD1. There were also changes inside, with wider seats and individual gauges giving a more racey feel to the cabin. The bhp remained the same, but there was an increase in torque. It was in 1981 when this particular model we have here was released, the Series 3 or S3, with a new more powerful 2.2 litre '912' engine. The engine delivered 160 bhp and 160 lb-ft of torque, and this propelled the Esprit from 0-60mph in an impressive 6.5 seconds. The body was refined again with larger bumpers, more aerodynamic styling and the underside was not left untouched with a new chassis and suspension set up, that gave the Esprit its impeccable handling.Consigned to us from a private collection, this desirable S3 variant of the Esprit was supplied new via ‘London Lotus Centre’ in November of 1984. Finished in striking Silver with a two-tone Grey interior, ‘B429 MLL’ entered the current ownership in February of 2019. Treated to in the region of £2,200 in parts and £2,800 in labour since then; the S3 had its cam belt and water pump changed in 2019, but has remained on static display thereafter. Works carried out at this time included a rebuild of the suspension and bushing, together with refurbishment of the factory alloy wheels and fitment of quality replacement tyres. The Lotus has remained in a dry garage throughout his custodianship, but “hasn’t turned a wheel in a few years”. During our recent photography session, the two seater started and ran well, but obviously may require minor recommissioning before heavy road use. Offered with a very conservative guide figure, the Esprit is sold with a large paperwork file, comprising the original handbook, extended warranty booklet, numerous tax disks and MOT certificates, together with a large section of invoices / receipts for maintenance carried out throughout the decades.

Registration No: WKY 557K Chassis No: 2211851 MOT: September 2025Subject to an older, extensive restorationUnderstood to have covered c.116,000 milesOffered with original green logbook and the original service bookIn current family ownership for some 40 yearsBMW's so called 'new class' compact Saloons and Coupes manufactured between 1962 and 1975 quite simply saved the company from extinction. Introduced in 1965, the 2000C and 2000CS Coupes featured distinctive-looking Karmann-built bodies and luxurious interiors and, having set a trend, were superseded in 1968 by the first of the E9 Coupes - the 2800CS. The length and wheelbase of the newcomer were extended to accommodate the 2788cc straight-six engine from the E3 Saloon, and the nose of the Karmann monocoque body was restyled to echo that of its four-door sibling. The fully independent suspension was by MacPherson struts up front and semi-trailing arms at the rear. Braking was still by disc/drums and the steering by a power-assisted ball and nut system. The 2800CS was supplanted by the 3.0CS and 3.0CSi in 1971, for which the engine was bored out to give a capacity of 2986cc. In CS guise, the silky-smooth six-cylinder engine had an output of 180bhp, which was sufficient to rush the handsome Coupe to 60mph in 7.9 seconds and on to a top speed of over 120mph. The average fuel consumption was quoted as 21mpg.In current family ownership for some 40 years, the 3.0 CS has been owned by the vendor and his brother since 1983. Supplied new by Lazenby Garages Ltd, Leicestershire in 1972, it is understood to have covered the displayed c.116,000 miles since 1972.The 3.0 CS presents as an older restoration that was initiated by the vendor and carried out c.1987 at their chosen garage, at a total cost of £6,444.45 (over £17,500 today) and included £3,400 in labour, £2,561.50 for parts, £482.95 in paint and a detail of the paint once complete. Although 37 years have passed, it is worth noting the extent of the 1987 restoration work included new metal and new panels where necessary. This included inner wings, a front panel, headlamp back panels, floor pans, inner sills, inner wheel arches, the rear bulkhead, attention paid to the axle mounts and shock absorber turret tops, rear quarter panels, rear lower valance panel, new door skins and the use of Waxoyl in cavities and stone-chip applied to vulnerable areas. The restoration concluded with a paint in the original colour, believed to be Polaris Silver Metallic. The original service book is included along with original green logbook, period BMW Europa service station map, Haynes manual and various service information, a collection of invoices dating back to the 1980s, a collection of MOTs back to the 1980s and a garage prepared description of work done. The 3.0 CS is offered with the original service book and an original old green logbook on file and current V5C on file.

Registration No: DJO 309 Chassis No: SA-1175 MOT: ExemptRare Drophead Coupe model with coachwork by Salmons TickfordIn the ownership of just two individuals from newTreated to several previous restoration worksOne of just 2,738 examples of the SA manufactured (across all three variants)As a result of MGs sale to Morris Motors in 1935, rationalisation was the company's priority during 1935, and all new models shared as many parts as possible with other members of the burgeoning Nuffield Organisation. Launched at the 1935 Motor Show, the SA represented a new departure for MG. The first all-new model to be introduced since the company's acquisition by Morris Motors, it was considerably larger than any previous MG and caused a certain amount of consternation amongst enthusiasts who feared an abandonment of the virtues embodied by the marque's nimble sports cars. They need not have worried, for although based on the Wolseley Super Six and aimed at the luxury car market, the SA received sufficient input from MG founder and designer Cecil Kimber to transform it into a car worthy of the famous octagon badge.Originally of 2026cc, the overhead-valve Wolseley Six had been enlarged to 2,288cc by the time SA production commenced and was further stretched to 2322cc in 1937. With 75bhp propelling a car weighing around 1½ tons, acceleration was necessarily leisurely; nevertheless, the SA could cruise comfortably at 60-70mph and had a genuine top speed approaching 85mph. Only available as a four-door Saloon at launch, it was subsequently offered as a Tickford-bodied Drophead Coupé and Charlesworth-bodied Open Tourer. By the time production ceased in 1939, 2,738 SAs of all types had left the factory.Chassis ‘SA-1175’ was supplied to Salmons Tickford for clothing in Tickford Drophead Coupé coachwork, and was thereafter first registered on the 21st December 1936, being supplied new to a J. S Adams Esq for some £226. Finished in the attractive colour combination of Blue paintwork with a complementing Dark Blue leather interior upholstery and a hood trimmed in Beige, the SA is complete with notable features including trafficators (with additional flashing indicators for safety) and a rear-mounted spare wheel. Being retained in the first ownership for some thirty-six years before being bequeathed to the first owner’s nephew (the vendor) in 1972. Therefore, a single-family ownership and just a two-owner example from new, while in the vendor’s ownership, ‘DJO 309’ has received restoration work with Tattenham Corner Motors (in 1984) and TC Restorations (in 1991).Used regularly by the vendor throughout his ownership, until sadly his health deteriorated in 2022, the MG is now on offer having been off the road for a couple of years and will therefore require a degree of recommissioning before pressing into road use, although the vendor does inform us that the MG starts and drives. Rated by the vendor as having ‘good’ engine, bodywork, and paintwork and ‘average’ in regard to interior trim, gearbox, and electrical equipment, it is offered with a history file that contains the original sales invoice, invoices for maintenance, servicing, and restoration works, previous MOT certificates and a current V5C document.

Registration No: BL54 MVW Chassis No: SARRXGLGB4D000130 MOT: March 2025One of just 187 Mk1 'Mustang-powered' ZTs understood to have been producedJust c.24,500 miles from newOne of only 3 finished in Copperleaf paintwork and believed the only one with Oxford Cream leather interior upholsteryEntered from a small private collection of MG Rover carsOffered with a history file including the combined service book and owner's handbookAfter a long wait, the rear-wheel-drive MG ZT made an appearance in September 2003. Completely re-engineering the standard ZT shell to accommodate Ford's superb modular Mustang 4.6-litre V8 engine which produced 256bhp and allied to a five-speed Tremec TR-350 manual transmission. SE-spec examples includes Harman Kardon sound system with a factory subwoofer and X-Power rear exhausts, really enhancing that V8 soundtrack. An AutoExpress report on the ZT 260s declared the Mustang engine cars as having ‘bags of torque, a well-engineered chassis and an intoxicating soundtrack, making this one of MG Rover's strongest products’. Limited numbers were produced with 187 Mk1 (pre-facelift examples) and 374 Mk2 examples understood to have been produced.Number 130 is one of the rarer pre-facelift examples and is understood to have been manufactured in late 2003, remaining unregistered until being first registered on the 24th January 2005. Finished in striking Copperleaf Red paintwork, it is thought to be one of just three in this colour and is understood to be the only one of these trimmed in Oxford Cream leather interior upholstery. In desirable SE specification, it is a low mileage example having covered just c.24,500 miles from new and has been in the possession of just three former keepers. Entered into the sale along with two others from a small private collection of MG Rover cars, the ZT still boasts having its original tool kit, including the jack and spare wheel.Benefitting from four new tyres in 2021, the ZT was recently provided with a full service and check of the brakes, steering and suspension by a classic car specialist in October 2023, some 2,500 miles ago. Supplied with a history file that contains the combined service book, owner's handbook, a collection of MOT history, a no advisory MOT certificate until March next year, previous invoices and a current V5C document, as well as two keys. Presenting nicely and running and driving well during our recent photography session, these Mustang-engined ZTs are notably rare and becoming incredibly collectable.

Registration No: A5 ERD Chassis No: SCBZS0T01ECH08959 MOT: October 20251 of just 322 right-hand drive examples madeCherished by a single family (1984-2024)33,000 miles from new with fourteen corroborating services (the latter two totalling over £9,000)A landmark model in Bentley’s history, the Mulsanne Turbo (and its Turbo R successor) expanded the marque’s popularity and desirability to an unprecedented degree. Thus, ‘Winged B’ sales went from accounting for three percent of Crewe production in 1980 to fifty percent a decade later! Launched at the 1982 Geneva Salon, the Mulsanne Turbo was substantially more potent than its normally aspirated sibling (300bhp/487lbft vs 170bhp/369lbft). Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7 seconds and 135mph, the luxury saloon could outrun many a sportscar whilst still retaining its ‘drawing room on wheels’ ambience. Hand-built, a mere 322 were completed to right-hand drive, short wheelbase specification.Finished in the gorgeous and special order combination of Coral Inmont with a Cream Everflex roof and chrome radiator grille, chassis H08959 was supplied new via the SMAC Group of Thorpe Bay, Essex to businessman Edward Coventry Esq. Remaining within Mr Coventry’s extended family until very recently, a handwritten letter on file confirms that the Bentley ‘has been garaged and cherished all its life having never had any paintwork or accident damage’. Warranted to have covered just 33,000 miles from new, the Mulsanne Turbo has been serviced fourteen times by SMAC(x10), P&A Wood (x2), Harvey Wash and Shadow Motors. Recognised marque specialists, bills from the latter two totalled £4,466 and £4,603 respectively and show that particular attention was paid to the luxury saloon’s steering, suspension and brakes. The factory-fitted Magnolia leather upholstery (which extends to the roof lining) and contrasting red carpets remain in excellent order, while the boot and engine bay are highly presentable too. A rare machine made triply so by its low mileage and originality, this Mulsanne Turbo is worthy of close inspection.PLEASE NOTE: According to the website howmanyleft.co.uk only sixty-four Bentleys registered during 1984 are still known to the DVLA (of which forty-nine are currently SORN). The vendor believes that ‘A5 ERD’ is one of the very best examples among this select group and invites potential purchasers to observe the lack of wear to the Mulsanne Turbo’s pedal rubbers and boot as proof of the way in which it has been mollycoddled for the past forty years.PLEASE NOTE: The V5C Registration Document for this lot is in transit and will be forwarded to the successful purchaser.

Registration No: KFF 586H Chassis No: XA25255469A MOT: ExemptOwned from new by, formerly, the 'oldest woman in Wales' who lived to 109Sympathetic restoration carried out c.5 years agoThe subject of a Mini World magazine feature, May/June 2024This automatic Clubman displays c.41,300 miles since newSupplied with original wheels and caps, as well as the 'Minilites' fittedIntroduced in October 1969, the Mini Clubman was penned by ex-Ford product planner and stylist Roy Haynes. Intended as a replacement for the Mini-derived Wolseley Hornet and Riley Elf, while the related Estate car was intended to succeed the established Countryman and Traveller. However, a change of plan saw both round and square-nosed Minis produced concurrently, until the Clubman range gave way to the Metro in 1980 and the classic Mini design surviving until 2000. The newcomer boasted better frontal crash protection and improved under-bonnet access and was powered by a 998cc or 1098cc four-cylinder A-series engine. Its suspension system, a fusion of independent front and interconnected hydrolastic rear set-ups, achieved a balance between comfort and handling, emblematic of the industry's drive for enhanced driving dynamics. A more conventional suspension set-up was used on the Mini after 1971.A very early Clubman Automatic Saloon, this 1970 example is a rare survivor and carries the unique features of the early Clubmans. ‘KFF 586H’ was built 2nd February 1970 and despatched to Autopalace, Llandrindod Wells, before arriving at G.E Evans, a BMC dealer in Snowdonia (correspondence on file). Running on its original 998cc engine it’s fitted with the early AP1 4-speed auto gearbox. It’s also still running with hydrolastic suspension. The Clubman still only displays 41k miles and is standard apart from the Minilite-style wheels (the original steel wheels and hubcaps are included in the sale), a Cooper freeflow manifold, RC40 and alloy inlet.The original owner, the ‘oldest lady in Wales’ at the time of her passing, bought the car in her mid-60s and then gave the car to her grandson in the late 1980s, when she hung-up her driving gloves. The second owner ran the car happily until 2007, at which point it was tucked away. The third owner carried out much restoration and conservation work (photographic record on file). The car was then the subject of a feature in Mini World, May/June 2020. A few months later, the vendor purchased the car for his wife. Since then the Clubman has seen little use, being dry stored and not driven for the last 4 years (battery has been maintained on trickle and handbrake has not been applied). Offered with a V5C, invoices, a copy of the factory order form and a Heritage Certificate.

Registration No: OVS 455 Chassis No: 15WC-U-L42989 MOT: ExemptBenefits from recent chassis welding and rust preventionDisplaying a credible c.81,600 milesAttention paid to the cooling and braking system less than 5,000 miles agoIntroduced in 1957, the Wolseley 1500 and Riley 1.5 shared the same compact three-box styling and Morris Minor derived floorpan complete with independent torsion bar front suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a 1489cc OHV ‘B-Series’ engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the badge-engineered duo enjoyed a surprising turn of speed.This 1962 Wolseley comes to auction displaying a credible c.81,600 miles and benefits from recent chassis welding and rust prevention. The vendor is an ex-garage owner and mechanic, so he has endeavoured to carry out his own ongoing restoration since buying the car earlier this year, for example, he has welded the chassis and treated such areas with corrosion inhibitors. Attention has also been paid to the cooling and braking systems less than 5,000 miles ago at a cost of over £1,000. It involved replacing all the brake wheel cylinders, welding the front exhaust pipe ‘as necessary’, a re-core of the radiator, a plugs and points change, a condenser and replacement of the OSF wheel bearing. Other work has included the fettling of the electrics. The vendor has carried out his own paintwork to protect and seal the car's bodywork which is a significant improvement from when he took ownership. The servicing work recorded, includes a service carried out in May 2018 and February 2017. The Wolseley is supplied with old MOTs, the oldest showing the mileage at 73,995 in 1992, suggesting the mileage is credible.

Registration No: 614 XWE Chassis No: 3350 MOT: ExemptMG A engine option MkII GranturaBenefiting from a recent brake overhaul and new radiatorIdeal winter projectThe first production model TVR car, the Grantura debuted in 1958 and went through a series of developments leading to MkI to MkIV and 1800S models, with production ceasing in September 1967. Hand-built at the TVR factory in Blackpool with varying mechanical specifications, the Grantura was also offered in ‘kit form’. All cars featured a cocktail of Austin-Healey brakes, VW Beetle or Triumph suspension parts and BMC rear axles. The Grantura bodyshell was made from glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) and made use of a variety of proprietary components, with a front-hinged bonnet. Buyers could choose from a range of powerplants which, depending on the model in question, included a choice of side or overhead valve engines from Ford, a Coventry Climax unit, the engine from the MG A and, ultimately, the 1798cc BMC B-series engine. By the middle of 1960, the factory employed forty-three workers and the Grantura MkI production ended with a total of only 100 cars produced.This MkII Grantura, first registered in Liverpool in November 1960 was originally supplied with the MG A engine option plus Canary Yellow paintwork and is known to the TVR Club, appearing on the factory records. Now wearing Cream with a Black vinyl roof, it is a stalled restoration project that has seen recent works that include a brake overhaul, a new radiator, propshaft, wheel refurbishment with new tyres etc. The vendor reports the engine to be ‘in running order’. A fuel tank is supplied, however, it would need fitting and the vendor reports the clutch pipework needs ‘attention’. Offered at auction with the V5C, ‘614 XWE’ represents an excellent opportunity to acquire an early Grantura with great potential as, hopefully, a straightforward restoration project.

Registration No: SFO 926 Chassis No: 57104809 MOT: ExemptIn current ownership since 2008Subject to new paintwork throughout the bodyFitted with 'Bikini' top and rear tonneau coverThe Land Rover’s 1595cc, 50bhp four-cylinder Rover engine might seem under-powered today, but its 80lb-ft of torque was impressive. There was permanent four-wheel drive, leaf-sprung suspension and not much else for your £450 when it was launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show in April 1948. Any kind of extra equipment came at an additional cost, but the orders started to come in. The very first Land Rover registered was one of the Amsterdam Motor Show cars on 21 May 1948, and full production began at Solihull shortly after. Rover soon saw that the vehicle’s appeal went beyond expectations. In 1949 the British Army placed its first order. It wanted 1,878; so many, that the decision was made to paint all Land Rovers in the Army’s Dark Green and they saw their first action the following year, in the Korean War. The Red Cross ordered its first Land Rovers in 1954, and its relationship with the marque endures to this day.In 1954, Solihull made its 100,000th Land Rover and by the time the Series I was replaced in 1958, nearly 200,000 had been produced. With 70 per cent exported, the principles that Maurice Wilks first sketched in the sand at Red Wharf Bay in Anglesey had been put into practice across the world.This Series 1, from 1955, has resided in current ownership since 2008. In that time the current vendor has refreshed the look of 'SFO 926' with new paintwork throughout the body. The wheels have also been refurbished and repainted. Currently wearing a recently added 'Bikini' top; light and open enough for summer driving, the Series 1 is also offered with a full canopy frame without the fabric and a rear tonneau cover.

Registration No: 704 YUJ Chassis No: 41059 MOT: ExemptCreated by the previous owner for use in VSCC trials and speed eventsExtremely attractive aluminium bodied special built by Chris ComptonFitted with Wade R020 superchargerOffered with a collection of invoices and current V5C documentBetween 1933 and 1938 triumph produced a large, if somewhat confusing, range of excellent sporting Saloons, Coupes and Tourers under the Gloria moniker. All but the final iterations were powered by engines of four or six-cylinders, that were of overhead inlet / side exhaust valve configuration designed by Coventry Climax and modified and manufactured by Triumph. They drove through a manual four-speed gearbox supplied by ENV. The model was developed by new recruit Donald Healey and did more than any other to establish Triumph as the producer of quality sporting motorcars. The adopted name of Gloria is rumoured to have been that of a Selfridge's fashion model who featured in some early publicity shots of the mark.Created by the previous owner between 2011-2012, for use in VSCC trials and speed events, this is an extremely attractive aluminium bodied Triumph Gloria Special, fitted with a Wade R020 supercharger and built by Chris Compton of Compton’s of Welshpool, known for the repair and restoration of Alvis’ for over 40 years and with a reputation for his craftsmanship. Finished in Grey and complemented by Black spoked wheels, the Special is VSCC registered.Regarding the build, there’s a handwritten invoice note on file for £6,041 for the work to create the Special, that also states that other components were sourced elsewhere, such as the Beaulieu Autojumble and builder Chris Compton. The notes states the chassis as having been sourced from the Pre-1940 Triumph Club, the body made by Compton, as well as the trim by him and the supply of the wheels was from Compton’s own stock. Electrics, instruments, distributor, dynamo, fan, carburettor, fuel pump were hand-picked from Beaulieu. There are a number of images on file that show some parts of the build. Mechanically, there is a £2232.60 invoice dated 16th August 2010 from The Coventry Boring and Metalling Co. Ltd that relates to work to have the Coventry Climax blocked stitched, machined to fit liners, crankshaft re-ground, conrods remetalled, main bearings remetalled and the flywheel refaced. A Derek Chinn Precision Engineering invoice dated 10th April 2012 for £3,059.95 details work to overhaul the Wade R020 supercharger. There is a further invoice for £430 on file dated 14th February 2011 from the Pre-1940 Triumph Club Ltd for the purchase of an engine block, crank, cam and crank shafts, gearbox and manifold.This Chris Compton built supercharged Special was bought to trial, however, a change of circumstances means a reluctant sale for the vendor. The Special is offered at the sale with a collection of invoices, photographs on file and a current V5C Registration Document. There is also a collection of spares available by separate negotiation.

Registration No: Unregistered (formerly EGE 675C) Chassis No: M/A2S4S/294488 MOT: ExemptFirst registered in Glasgow and reputedly rallied by its first ownerCampaigned by Gerard Paton and Gerard McCosh in the 1973 Shell Oils / The Scotsman Rally ChampionshipLast driven in anger on the 1973 Tour of Mull from which it retired with the offside front wing damage it still sports todaySpeedwell goodies, 998cc twin-carb engine, rollcage, internal fuel lines, Works-style dash etcIn need of total restoration or leave as is for displaySupplied new in Glasgow (or its now defunct number plate ‘EGE 675C’ would imply), this battle-scarred Mini is rumoured to have been a competition car all its life. Still sporting a decal for the 1973 Scottish Rally Championship to its roof, the diminutive saloon is known to have contested that year’s Tour of Mull as car number ‘88’ with driver Gerard Paton and co-driver Gerard McCosh aboard. Unfortunately, the two Gerards’ efforts were curtailed by a collision which resulted in the damage still visible to the old warhorse’s offside front wing. Not driven in anger since, the Morris is a fascinating time capsule with its bolted-in rollcage, internally-routed fuel lines, auxiliary Speedwell gauges, bolstered front seats, Works-style dashboard extensions and 7,000rpm red-lined tacho etc. Competing in the 1-litre class, the Mini is fitted with a Riley-branded, twin carburettor-fed A-Series engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. The presence of a September 1964 dated window wiper motor suggests that the abused bodyshell might possibly be original. Substantially complete, the Mini requires total restoration or could be left in its current state as a fascinating display piece.

Registration No: LD54 OAC Chassis No: WBSBR92070PM96611 MOT: January 2025Finished in the handsome combination of Carbon Schwarz Metallic with Black leather upholstery and a matching soft-topOffered with owner wallet, handbook and replacement service bookFitted with CSL style alloy wheels finished in Gloss BlackCurrent V5C, a collection of invoices and old MOT certificatesc.81,800 recorded milesArguably the best sounding and best handling BMW M3s yet made, the E46 generation debuted at the March 2000 Geneva Salon. Styled by Ulf Weidhase, the newcomer was a deft blend of aggression and subtlety. Available in Coupe or Convertible guises, the E46 M3 was powered by a 3.2 litre DOHC straight-six engine allied to Getrag manual transmission. Interestingly, the latter could be specified with either a conventional or electro-hydraulically actuated clutch. Dubbed ‘SMG-II’ when shorn of a third pedal, it proved to be the fastest shifting gearbox in the world. Credited with developing some 343bhp and 269lbft of torque, the BMW was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds and 155mph (limited). According to the M Registry, 13,052 Coupes and 7,234 Convertibles were built to RHD Euro-spec.First registered on 29th October 2004, this M3 was ordered finished in the handsome combination of Carbon Schwarz Metallic with Black leather upholstery and a matching soft-top. Delivered new to H R Owen Chelsea confirmed by the BMW group printout that accompanies the car, the interior luxury includes heated electrically operated front seats, AC, a radio with Harman Kardon speakers and Bluetooth. Sending power to the road through CSL-style alloy wheels finished in Gloss Black, the M3 displays a mileage of some 81,800. Offered with an owner's wallet, handbook and replacement service book, there's a current V5C Registration Document, a collection of invoices and old MOT certificates.

Registration No: 34 RMU Chassis No: LD2190 MOT: ExemptCurrent ownership since 1994Fitted with a Ford 'Essex' 2.5 litre engine allied to four-speed manual plus overdrive transmissionOffered with the cherished registration number '34 RMU'An ideal winter projectIntroduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and servo-backed disc / drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon in order to fashion the initial prototype), the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. Neatly integrated, the substantial roll-over hoop that joined the B-pillars gained extra strength from a T-bar link to the windscreen frame. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Available with a choice of four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission all but the earliest Stags benefited from both hard- and soft-top roofs. Despite being in production for seven years during which time 25,877 cars were made, a mere 9,500 or so are thought to have survived.Although nowhere near as prevalent as legend suggests, the Stag did suffer from engine failure on occasion especially if the 3-litre SOHC V8 was not maintained properly or filled with non-corrosion inhibiting coolant. Those owners unable to find or fund a Triumph replacement often installed a Ford Essex V6 or Rover V8 instead. An old V5 Registration Document on file suggests that '34 RMU' underwent a conversion to Ford 2.5 litre power decades ago. A project when the vendor acquired it in 1994, the 2+2-seater remains in need of full restoration. Thought to be substantially complete, the Triumph rides on correct-type alloy wheels and is equipped with four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission. A great winter project and offered for sale at No Reserve. For more information, please contact: Luke Hipkiss luke.hipkiss@handh.co.uk 07886398226

In christening its new small sports car 'Midget', BMC revived a name made famous by a range of pre-war MGs. The new Midget started life powered by a 948cc A-Series engine fed by a pair of SU carburettors. Matters had greatly improved by the time the MkIII version appeared in 1966, not least in the engine compartment where the motor's capacity had been increased via 1,098cc to 1,275cc. A total of 226,001 Midgets are understood to have been built between 1961 and 1979, some 100,246 of which were MkIII models.First registered on the 1st January 1973 and a UK supplied example, this Midget’s desirable features include its British Racing Green paintwork with a Black vinyl interior and Black soft-top and best of all, the attractive and desirable round rear wheel arch design. It’s also from the era of the chrome bumpers. The subject of an extensive restoration a few years ago, it still presents well, with the vendor describing it as ‘in excellent condition’. New panels were fitted as part of the restoration work. It is offered with a history file and the current V5C Registration Document.

Vying for sales with the MG T-Series, the Singer Roadster retained what was essentially the same two-door, swept tail silhouette throughout its sixteen year history (1939-1955) albeit with various stylistic tweaks along the way. The Singer Nine Roadster was a variant of the Bantam Singer Nine. After some years Singer cautiously returned to the sports tourer but not the sports car market. The open four-seater Nine Roadster appeared on the 6th March 1939 with a lightly tuned version of the larger 1074 cc overhead camshaft engine already seen in the Bantam Nine plus its three-speed gearbox.This attractive little pre-war Roadster was exported to Jersey in 2001 and was previously UK-registered as 'HEH 623'. Understood to have previously been restored by Trevor Cornelius (Singer Spares) of Kent '27677R' has been in current ownership since 2019, with the vendor previously having the gearbox overhauled, a replacement clutch fitted, the prop shaft refurbished and 5 new tyres.

A successor to the R170, the R171 brought significant updates in design, technology, and performance. This sleek convertible featured a retractable hardtop, allowing drivers to enjoy the exhilaration of top-down motoring or the comfort of a Coupe at the push of a button. With various engine options, including four and six-cylinder variants, the R171 catered to a diverse range of preferences, balancing sporty handling with refined luxury. Its enduring popularity was attributed to its timeless styling and the incorporation of innovative safety features, making the Mercedes-Benz R171 stand-out in the Roadster segment during its production span until 2010.First registered on the 11th November 2006, this SLK was specified in what is arguably the most attractive colour combination of Iridium Silver Metallic with a complementing Red leather interior. During ownership it has stayed in factory specification. The original Mercedes-Benz Service Booklet is present and records 9 entries for servicing at main dealer and independent garages, with further servicing recorded with Freeway Autos of Wigan 2018-2020.

Registration No: JO 9219 Chassis No: 34/MS/40794 MOT: ExemptPrevious long-term ownership of some thirty yearsBenefitting from a full restoration during the previous ownershipFitted with a new stainless steel exhaust c.2 months agoSupplied with a history file including the BMIHT Heritage CertificateThe pre-war Minor was launched to compete with the Austin Seven and was assembled at Morris's Cowley plant from 1929 until 1934, at which time it was replaced by the Morris Eight. The newcomer was ultimately offered in seven guises - five on the standard short wheelbase chassis (6ft 6in) and two on an extended platform (7ft 7in). Two engine types were employed. The earlier and more technically advanced 847cc OHC unit was fitted to all examples made up to January 1931, at which point an equivalent capacity 19bhp side-valve unit was introduced to power a £100 Minor and a range of other economy models. A three-speed gearbox was employed until 1933. Suspension was by semi-elliptic leaf springs front and rear and braking by cable-operated drums all round. The model's most successful year was 1932, during which no less than 19,248 of the total 86,318 were built. Even then, the Minor was still outsold by the ubiquitous Austin Seven, production of which continued in one form or another until 1939.Chassis ‘34/MS/40794’ was despatched from the factory on the 12th February 1934, and thereafter road registered in Oxford on the 6th March. Reputedly retained in first ownership for several decades, the Morris is understood to have been purchased into the previous ownership at some stage of the 1990s and was kept in said custodianship for some thirty years. Benefitting from a comprehensive restoration during this period, the Morris is understood to have been used regularly following the completion of the restoration. Presented in Dark Blue paintwork with Black wings and wheels, the notable nice interior is trimmed in Dark Blue leather.Purchased by the vendor a couple of years ago as an addition to his private collection, the Morris is now only on offer due to larger pre-war cars arriving shortly. An attendee of local events and shows around Derbyshire while with the vendor, the Minor has also benefitted from a new stainless-steel exhaust approximately two months ago. Offered with a history file that contains a copy of the original registration record, a BMIHT Heritage Certificate, an original handbook, a collection of invoices, and a current V5C document, this Minor with just three known owners in the last ninety years is due to be driven some 25 miles to the sale!

Registration No: T550 TNO Chassis No: SAJDKANF3CR877275 MOT: November 2025Rare and desirable LWB Super V8 exampleRegistered new to ‘Jaguar Executive Sales’ of Browns Lane and believed used as a director's carIn current ownership since 2013 and 87,000 miles from newSupplied with a history file including the full book pack in the Daimler walletThe new V8-powered Daimler saloons were introduced in 1997 as part of Jaguar's revised X300 range, a new and highly acclaimed ZF five-speed automatic gearbox arriving at the same time. This state-of-the-art, quad-cam, 32-valve engine was built in capacities of 3.2 and 4.0 litres to power three new Jaguars and two new Daimlers. The new Daimlers comprised of the V8 and Super V8, the latter equipped with a 322bhp supercharged unit, both of which shared the same long-wheelbase four-door saloon body and were equipped to the customarily very high standard of luxury. As well as being V8 powered, the car is taken to other extremes with its very rare supercharging, long-wheelbase and luxurious specification. This luxury came at a price, costing some £10,000 more than any other X300 when new. One of the proudest traditions in Daimler history was that since 1900, when the then Prince of Wales, later HM King Edward VII, purchased his first Daimler car, Daimlers were used by British Kings and Queens, with the Super V8 being no different, Queen Elizabeth II herself having owned one.Manufactured in 1999, this rare and desirable LWB Super V8 was supplied new to ‘Jaguar Executive Sales’ being first registered on the 14th of July and is understood to have been used as a director’s car. Finished from the factory in Madeira Mica paintwork with complementary Oatmeal leather interior upholstery, the Daimler is well specified from climate control to deep pile Daimler carpets. Purchased in February 2001, by the first private owner (with sales invoice present), the Super V8 has since had a total of five private owners and has covered c.87,000 miles from new.Benefitting from a gearbox service and new selector cable in 2017; four new tyres in 2020, brake pipes renewed in 2022 and a new ABS sensor in 2023. Main dealer serviced between 2000 and 2005, five times while covering the majority of its mileage (c.58,500 miles), the Super V8 has additional services documented in the history file. The accompanying Daimler wallet contains the driver's handbook, vehicle care book, and booklets, there's a large collection of previous MOT certificates and history, numerous maintenance and improvement invoices, current V5C documents, a November 2025 MOT with no advisories and original sales literature, as well as two sets of keys. Examples of the very rare LWB Super V8 are few and far between, so this example in a striking colour combination is not one to be missed.

Registration No: CCN 661B Chassis No: 40667W104772 MOT: ExemptImported from the USA in 2021 by the current vendorOffered with current V5C, workshop manuals and a collection of invoicesThe subject of a restoration by the previous owner for his wifeThe Corvair, launched in 1959. With its uni-body and rear air-cooled flat-six engine, it stood out from the crowd. Originally introduced as a Sedan, later on a Station Wagon, a Coupé, a Rampside Cab-Forward Pickup and finally, a Convertible was launched in 1962.Leaving the factory as a Monza Series 900 Spyder iteration of the Corvair, this 1964 example benefits from the revised rear factory suspension which addresses the previously known vulnerability. 'CCN 661B' was imported by the vendor from Texas in 2021 and wears a wonderfully period Gold, it was the subject of a restoration by the previous owner, who had carried out the work as a present for his wife. The under-appreciated rear engined Chevy benefitted from a new manual soft-top and the engine bay tinware was replaced and repainted. Originally a turbo model ('Spyder' option), at some point the turbo has been removed, often said to be more economical and less temperamental in ownership. The engine has also benefitted from the change from OE mechanical fuel injection to an electric fuel pump. Although exempt, there has been an MOT that expired on 11th August 2024 and is said to 'run' great with none of the usual oil leaks. At the time of consignment, the heater fan and the tachometer weren't working. The Corvair is being offered with a collection of invoices, manuals for parts and assembly, a technical guide, a workshop manual, a collection of invoices, electric mechanism for the hood and the current V5C.

Registration No: KND 322N Chassis No: 1266620 MOT: ExemptTwo owners from new, one in Czechoslovakia and one in the United KingdomDesirable 110 LS variant using the 110 R Coupe high compression engineLavished with a full ‘nut and bolt’ restoration between August 2013 and November 2014Highly attractive original colour scheme of Turquoise (5187) paintwork with Black vinyl interior upholsteryDebuting in 1969 as reskinned and refined versions of their 1000 MB and 1100 MB forebears, Skoda’s 100 and 110 saloon cars utilised the same monocoque construction, all-round independent suspension and rear-engined / rear-wheel drive layout. Notable as the marque’s first model range to achieve over 1,000,000 sales, the 1-litre 100 and 1.1-litre 110 boasted more standard equipment than Western equivalents such as the Ford Cortina and Hillman Minx. Sharing its high compression engine with the revered 110 R Coupe, the 110 LS Saloon was among the rarest variants with a mere 40,057 being completed between 1971 and 1976. Although such scarcity did not stop the FIA homologating it for Group 1 events.Manufactured new in 1974 and supplied to the home market (of the then) Czechoslovakia, this 110 LS resided there until 2013 in the ownership of just one individual. Upon his passing, the first owner’s family sold the Škoda to the vendor in the United Kingdom, arriving here in August 2013, with the vendor immediately embarking on a full ‘nut and bolt’ restoration of chassis ‘1266620’. Finding the Škoda notably solid with only localised welding required to areas such as the sills, subframe mounting, and jacking points, panels required were three new doors, new front and rear wings, with all new panels genuine new old stock Škoda parts. The 110 LS was then provided with a full repaint in its highly attractive and original colour of Turquoise (5187), confirmed by the Skoda museum in Mlada Boleslav, which was found in the panel gaps under the poorly applied Blue which was presented before the shell was stripped to bare metal.Thereafter, the engine was completely overhauled including a new head and the twin-pot calipers refreshed, the gearbox was also fully reconditioned. The suspension, front brake discs and rear brakes, and steering were all renewed, before the original interior (which restored well) was refitted, with numerous new old stock trim parts were acquired for the exterior finishing. The restoration was completed in November 2014 with the Škoda provided with its first MOT that month. Since used for shows and events, the 110 LS has covered some 3,800 miles since the restoration’s completion.Featured in ‘Classics’ magazine shortly after the restoration’s completion, ‘KND 322N’ is offered with a history file that includes copy of the magazine, copy of the Czechoslovakian logbook, original sales literature, drivers and maintenance manual, a large collection of invoices, restoration images, and a current V5C document. Rated by the vendor as having ‘very good’ interior trim, the vendor rates the 110 LS as having ‘excellent’ bodywork, paintwork, engine, gearbox, and electrical equipment. Exceedingly rare on these shores, this top-performance Saloon variant in a fabulous colour scheme is a great way to be different in the classic car world!

Registration No: LJ15 SZC Chassis No: 1FA6P8CF4F5307788 MOT: July 20251 of just 1,964 limited edition 50th Anniversary Performance Pack examples producedUnique Mustang having been further redeveloped by Fortis Auto DesignFeaturing wide-body, scissor doors and performance upgrades to 450bhpJust c.27,000 miles from newThe Ford Mustang is undoubtedly an American icon. The first production Mustang rolled off the assembly line in Dearborn, Michigan in March 1964 and was introduced to the public at the New York World's Fair on 17th April 1964. It was, and remains, one of the most successful product launches in automotive history, with the original Mustang selling over one million units in its first eighteen months alone. After five previous generations diluting the original 'Pony car', the sixth-generation arrived in 2013 to widespread consideration that Ford has perhaps returned the Mustang to its glory days. Publicly unveiled on the 5th of December 2013, in Dearborn, Michigan, New York, Los Angeles, California; Barcelona, Spain, Shanghai, China; and Sydney, Australia, with the internal project code name; S-550, with three engine options available: a newly developed 2.3 litre EcoBoost with 310bhp, a 3.7 litre 300bhp V6, or the 5.0 litre Coyote 435bhp V8 with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. A new independent rear suspension system was developed specifically for the new model. It also became the first factory version designed as a right-hand drive export model to be sold overseas through the Ford dealership network in right-hand drive markets.This intimidating 5.0 litre V8 special edition was initially imported by Bill Shepherd Mustang in 2015. Part of a limited edition 50th Anniversary Performance Pack run, just 1,964 examples were released to pay homage to the first generation Mustangs of 1964. It boasted retro stitching throughout, a retro-look instrument cluster surround and exclusive Black leather upholstery embossed with the Mustang 50-year logo. Chrome accents around the rear tail-lights and a special 50-year plaque on the dash noting this limited edition's place in history complete the many upgrades. The model was marketed as a 2014½ model, paying tribute to the original 1964½ model. Further modified from factory, Fortis Auto Design worked closely with renowned specialists to create this one-off bespoke example. Additions include a bespoke wide arch moulded body, lighting, suspension and exhaust upgrades. Arguably most notable is the fitment of scissor doors that give the Mustang additional flair. Offered displaying just c.27,000 miles, the Mustang has a history file including documented service history, showing a recent service at Ford Bury St Edmunds, a collection of MOTs, a current no advisory MOT until July 2025 and a current V5C document. This truly one-off Mustang is undoubtedly not for shrinking violets and harks back to how original Mustang owners would upgrade their 'pony car'.

Registration No: KSG 557 Chassis No: TDC 1490 MOT: ExemptEntered from a deceased estate Dry stored for a number of years, but started and driven during our recent photography sessionDesirable (and transferable) cherished registration number Supplied with the original folding logbook Current ownership since 1993The first car to carry the Triumph badge following the company’s takeover by the Standard Motor Company, the Triumph Renown was rushed out within months of the end of the war to cash in on the booming post-war export market. The cars were coachbuilt by Mulliner of Birmingham in the ‘Razor Edge’ style that was all the rage on prestigious models of the late 1930s/early 1940s from makes like Bentley and Rolls-Royce. Due to post-war steel shortages, most of the body panels were in lightweight aluminium over a traditional ash frame. In 1949, the original 1.8-litre engine was replaced by the excellent Standard 2,088cc unit and three-speed column-change gearbox which literally transformed the car, giving 75mph performance. In 1949 things got better still with the launch of the TDB which had much-improved coil spring front suspension (rather than transverse leaf) and the option of overdrive. From 1952 a stretched TDC model was available which gave significantly more legroom for rear seat passengers, had a larger rear window and push-button rather than lever-operated door handles. Just 9,301 Renowns were built in total of which only 2,609 were TDC models and only a tiny handful survive today, making this a rare car indeed.This Renown TDC dates from 1953 and has been consigned to us from a deceased estate. Finished in striking Black, with a contrasting Cream interior; the Saloon is described by a representative of the vendor’s family as ‘Average’ with regard to the paintwork, ‘Good’ with reference to its bodywork and electrical equipment, whilst the engine, transmission and interior trim are described as ‘Very Good’. Starting easily and running nicely as we moved it around for these photographs, this extremely rare and quirky pocket limousine looks excellent value (considering it is being offered entirely without reserve!). Offered with a large selection of paperwork and history, including the original folding logbook, expired MOT certificates, tax discs and sundry correspondence.

Registration No: 553 XUH Chassis No: 16103248 MOT: ExemptCurrent ownership for over 20 yearsSupplied new to the MoDUnderstood to have been used by the Military Explosive Ordnance Disposal UnitThis is where `The Best 4x4 by Far' started - a utility vehicle devised in 1947 by the Wilks brothers for use on their farm and inspired by the wartime Jeep. Aluminium panels, used because of a shortage of steel, meant the bodies did not rust and thanks to an ingenious high/low ratio four-wheel drive system, the new small truck was possessed of incredible climbing ability in all conditions including glutinous mud. Initially powered by a 1595cc inlet-over-exhaust Rover engine, a 2-litre unit was soon adopted. More than 60 years after the prototype first ran, Land Rovers of all ages continue to give faithful service all around the world. Reputedly one of just 3,971 Series One 80-in Landies made for the ‘home market’ during the 1951 model year, chassis 16103248 was supplied new to the British Armed Forces. Allocated the armed forces registration ’33 BD 05’, the compact 4x4 is understood to have been used by the Military Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit. Still sporting a Ministry of Supply plaque which indicates that it was subject to a ‘base overhaul’, the Land Rover was demobbed in 1965. Entering the current ownership over twenty years ago, the Series One exchanged its initial civilian number plate (‘FNU 947C’) for the current one (‘553 XUH’) in 2008. The Blue / Green paint worn by the engine suggests that it is a MOD reconditioned unit, while the vendor believes that the canvas tilt could well be original! Maintained in-house as part of a small collection of agricultural and off-road machinery, the Landie started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Bearing military insignia once more, this delightfully patinated Series One has charm aplenty. For more information, please contact: Luke Hipkiss luke.hipkiss@handh.co.uk 07886398226

Registration No: OP 4348 Chassis No: GMJ1 MOT: ExemptSubject to a sympathetic 10 year restorationFitted with Ranalah coachwork by The Southern Motor Co. in 1937In single-family ownership since August 1959Fitted with "Clearview" pillarless windscreenUnveiled in 1922, the 20HP was a second string to the Rolls-Royce bow – a shorter, more economical sibling to the Silver Ghost which broadened the marque’s reach to span both the very rich and seriously wealthy. Instantly distinguished by its horizontal radiator shutters, the newcomer was constructed around a ladder-frame chassis of 129 inch wheelbase. Power came from a 3,127cc straight-six, OHV monobloc engine mated to a three-speed manual gearbox. Suspension was by semi-elliptic leaf springs all-round. Braking was initially on the rear wheels alone, while steering was by worm and nut. Progressively updated to feature a four-speed gearbox and servo-assisted all-wheel braking, the ‘baby’ Rolls remained in production until 1929, by which time some 2,885 examples had vacated the company’s Derby factory. Lighter and more responsive than the Silver Ghost, the 20HP was capable of exceeding 60mph.On September 22nd 1926 chassis GMJ1 was ordered by the George Heath Ltd, John Bright Street, Birmingham as their dealer demonstrator. On December 24th, GMJ1 was delivered to Thrupp and Maberly, Cricklewood for coach-building. The next four months saw the Rolls-Royce being used as a demonstrator at George Heath Ltd. The ownership record is virtually complete, showing that on July 13th 1927, a printing company managing director from West Bromwich purchased the car from George Heath Ltd before a succession of owners in the North.In 1937, the chassis was renovated and re-bodied by The Southern Motor Company. GMJ1 had a unique body fitted, a very special and more ‘contemporary’ two-door Fixed-Head Coupe built by Ranalah - it was described as a ‘replica’ (of a brand new 20/25hp and hence more expensive model). Of note is the incorporation of a curved pillar-less windscreen, one of only two such screens ever known to have been fitted and is now the only known survivor. Up to 1946 GMJ1 belonged to the WWII decorated Hon. Margaret Forbes Sempill at the elegant Craigievar Castle, Aberdeenshire. Following WWII, the car continued Scottish custodianship with a retired and distinguished RAF Squadron leader.In single-family ownership since August 1959, ‘OP 4348’ was used by the previous late owner as a ‘daily driver’ until 1962, whilst at Cambridge University and for commutes to the workplace around Workington, Cumbria. Although plain Black and not so smart, it was reliable for some 16,300 miles, but after getting a smaller car (and getting married!) it was garaged, stored and off the road with 90,300 miles on the clock, until 2016.During storage by a succession of friendly enthusiasts, the entire motor car has been sympathetically restored in stages over some 10 years; bodywork and paint, wiring and fabric plus mechanicals. 'GMJ1' is offered with a current Registration Document, flying lady mascot, a collection of invoices and old MOT certificates, a collecton of books, hand written logs and an oringal handbook and instruction book.

Registration No: MJZ 5249 Chassis No: SALLDVAB7AA303156 MOT: October 2025Restoration work in June 2024Original build by Tamar Country Cars2.5 TDI engineThe world-famous Land Rover was launched in 1948 and developed from a single offering to a family of long and short-wheelbase derivatives with an ever-increasing choice of engines. The ‘One Ten’ was introduced in 1983. Further differentiated from its Series III predecessor by a taller one-piece windscreen, modernised interior and more sophisticated Range Rover-derived permanent four-wheel drive system, the newcomer gained a shorter wheelbase sibling, the ‘Ninety’, in 1984. With their superior load capacity, handling and ride comfort, the ‘One Ten’ (110) and ‘Ninety’ (90) proved strong sellers.First registered 20th August 1987 this Defender 90 is finished in Pink with Black. It was the creation of the bespoke Land Rover specialists Tamar Country Cars of Liskeard, Cornwall c.2013 and specifically built as a promotional show-piece for the company before, we believe, entering long-term ownership with a lady in Cornwall. It has since had Black accents added to the Pink, such as the roof. Displaying a mileage of 175,653 the Defender is fitted with a 2.5 TDI mated to a 5-speed transmission and saw some restoration work in June of this year, with any maintenance being carried out by the vendor in his ownership. The vendor has described the bodywork as ‘excellent’, as is the paintwork and interior trim. The engine, electrics and transmission are described as 'very good'.

Registration No: KVN 335 Chassis No: TF4373 MOT: July 2025Registered on Mille Miglia Registro with FIVA Identity CardAccepted on to the 2024 Mille MigliaDesirable home market and original right-hand drive example in its original colour schemeSupplied with a comprehensive restoration to an excellent standard in 1984Last of the MG T-series line, the TF was introduced in October 1953. Although mechanically near identical to its TD predecessor, the provision of a raked radiator, revised wing line and faired-in headlamps lent it an altogether sleeker and sportier air. Powered by a revised version of the well-proven, four-cylinder XPAG engine but this time using larger valves, a higher compression ratio and twin SU 1.5in carburettors, the new model was reputedly capable of over 80mph. Equipped with both rack-and-pinion steering and independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension, it helped maintain the marque's 'Safety Fast' reputation. Around 6,200 TF1250s were made, followed by 3,400 1500s.Despatched new on the 30th March 1954, chassis ‘TF4373’ is a desirable original right-hand drive, home market example which is pleasingly presented in its original colour scheme of Red paintwork with Red interior upholstery. Treated to a restoration to concours standard in 1984 by Hartwells Garages Ltd of Oxfordshire to showcase the skills of their apprentices, it was then sold to a local gentleman who owned the TF for the next 22 years. Provided with a full engine overhaul by specialists Brown & Gammons (costing over £2,300) in 2001, this included the cylinder head being converted to run unleaded fuel. A stainless-steel exhaust system was also fitted in the same year, along with much further improvement.Entrusted to MG specialist Peter Edney in 2006 for a five-speed gearbox conversion, ‘KVN 335’ also received an overhaul of the carburettors; new water pump; new rear springs; new wheel bearings; new fuel pipes and water hoses; and cosmetic refresh to the sum of c.£5,600 at this time. In long-term (17-year) previous ownership the MG was lightly used covering 4,660 miles during this time. Purchased by the vendor to use on the Mille Miglia, the vendor completed the registration process and therefore the TF is on the Registro and is the only UK-based MG TF currently on the register. Accepted into the 2024 Mille Miglia, it was placed on the Waiting List but did not compete and would need converting back to the four-speed gearbox to compete.Offered now with a history file that includes the BMIHT Heritage Certificate, invoice for Mille Miglia Registro payment, FIVA Identity Card, operation manual, large collection of invoices, and current V5C document. Riding on a set of chrome wire wheels shod with a matching set of Firestone tyres with plenty of tread, the TF also features a chrome luggage rack, wood rim MotaLita steering wheel, tool roll and Black hood, tonneau cover and sidescreens. Starting readily and running well during the recent photography session, the MG boasts possession of a 'no advisory' MOT certificate until July 2025. Ready for its new owner to use, whether for use on British roads or as a great option for the new owner to compete in the prestigious Mille Miglia event.

Registration No: 175 XUY Chassis No: 4486529 MOT: ExemptFirst year 'Turning Headlights' model in top specification Pallas trimSubject to a comprehensive body restoration by the current ownerFitted with a sought after Chapron-style curved dashRegistered for use in the UK with a V5CProof to some that Planet Earth is periodically visited by little green men from beyond the stars, the front-wheel drive Citroen DS was introduced to a spellbound Paris Salon on the 5th of October 1955. Responsible for unleashing more technological 'brainstorms' upon the field of automotive design than any production car before or since, its wonderfully futuristic 'speeding teardrop' profile was penned in-house by Flaminio Bertoni. Featuring an olio-pneumatic operating system that controlled its self-levelling suspension, power steering, semi-automatic gear change, and brakes, the big Citroen offered an uncannily smooth ride. In production for some twenty years, the DS was subject to a number of face-lifts, with perhaps the most recognisable change from the 1968 model year being a redesign of the front end to include aerodynamic, faired in SEV Marchal headlights that turned with the steering movement to more effectively see around corners on dark roads. The DS became the choice of high-ranking politicians and celebrities alike, and was available in many different trim levels, with the 'pièce de résistance' Pallas offering more luxurious chrome trim, better soundproofing and the option of a full leather interior. One of the earliest produced examples with the redesigned aerodynamic front end, chassis 4486529 is dated to the 1968 model year and was specified as a top specification Pallas with optional leather seat trimming. Little is known about the early history of the DS, however the vendor has advised that it was a home market car that spent some time on the Isle of Jersey prior to import onto the UK mainland in 2010 and was then owned by one gentleman until 2018, when it was purchased by the vendor. The vendor, an enthusiast who regularly restores interesting classics, immediately subject the big Citroen to a full nut and bolt overhaul which has been fully documented by a set of images. During the overhaul, the body was subjected to a complete bare metal strip down and repaint in Delta Bleu, blelieved to be the original colour, along with a complete mechanical overhaul to the engine including the fitment of a Lucas 123 ignition system, hydro-pneumatic suspension and braking systems. The interior has also been subject to a complete overhaul, with the vendor advising that he had spent some £4,000 on a replacement curved dashboard. Further improvements after the vendor’s hard work were entrusted to the DS Workshop in Potter’s Bar to set up the suspension, and the entire restoration was completed in 2021.Upon inspection, ‘175 XUY’ was noted to be a particularly fine example and our short drive to the photography location proved extremely pleasurable, with the suspension performing as expected. The vendor has stated that the car performs ‘excellently’ and has remarked that the rest of the car is also overall ‘excellent’, apart from the bodywork which is showing small signs of bubbling in very small areas due to the car having been used regularly for three years since restoration.Every classic car enthusiast should own a DS at some point in their life, as they really are a completely unique experience, and this particular example should be at the top of the list for anybody considering one and is offered complete with an original workshop manual and V5C.

Registration No: JNF 506 Chassis No: 400-1-378 MOT: ExemptVery original and solid example that can be used as isComprehensive history file, dating back to 1973V5C records 2 previous owners until 2023, when acquired by the vendorMille Miglia eligible modelWith the support of the War Reparations Board, the rights to manufacture the BMW 326, 327 and 328 and their famed six-cylinder engine were secured by the Bristol Aeroplane Company’s fledgling Car Division in 1946. Place a pre-war BMW 327 alongside Bristol's first offering, the 400, and the ancestry is self-evident, but there were many differences. The decision to make it a four-seater saw it based on the longer chassis of the 326. The aircraft grade Bristol body was more streamlined than that of the 327, while Bristol developed the already impressive 328 engine into one of the finest 2-litre units of the period, which powered not only all Bristol models until 1961, but various sports and racing cars from AC, Arnolt, Cooper, Frazer Nash, Lister, Lotus and Tojeiro. The 400's interior trim was an unmistakably British blend of leather and wood. With its lithe 1170kg kerb weight, rack and pinion steering, independent front suspension, torsion bar controlled rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes, the Bristol was among the fastest and best handling saloons of its generation capable of humbling rivals with far larger engines. However, such excellence did not come cheap and only 487 examples of the 400 were made.First registered in May 1948, Chassis 378 had one previous recorded owner until 2002 when the previous owner purchased it. In 1973, it was sent for a complete restoration which included having the engine, gearbox and suspension completely overhauled for which there are invoices from Bristol Cars. The interior was re-trimmed and the carpets, headlining and leather work were refurbished.Unfortunately, shortly after the previous owner purchased the car it suffered some fuelling issues which resulted in a small, but luckily contained, fire around the carburettors which burnt the paint off the bonnet cowling. The car was subsequently taken to a classic car repair garage in Kent who got the car back to running standard and the vendor then put the car away for 20 years until we pulled it out of its resting place in dry storage in 2023. This did, however, preserve what must be one of the most original Bristol 400s available. The current owner, who acquired it from H&H in 2023, initiated repairs, finding the engine in good condition. Following refurbishments and reassembly, the car is said to run well.The vendor has chosen to move this fantastic Bristol on for another prospective owner to enjoy and improve as they see fit. This rare example comes with a good documentation folder that includes lots of previous MOTs, the driver's handbook and workshop manual, a spares list and a number of invoices for work that has been carried out on the vehicle over the years.

Registration No: UJB 664G Chassis No: VAS2/21878M MOT: ExemptJust 78,000 recorded and credible miles on the odometerSignificantly improved while in current ownershipBenefitting from a full engine overhaul in 2021 with minimal mileage sinceHandbook, workshop manuals and a box of spares included in the saleInspired by a bespoke Morris 1100 that Fred Connolly had commissioned from coachbuilder-turned-manufacturer Vanden Plas, BMC tasked its Kingsbury-based subsidiary with replicating Mr. Connolly’s car to gauge public reaction at the October 1963 Earls Court Motor Show. Sporting a revised radiator grille, two-tone Green paint, and sumptuous Champagne Beige leather and walnut veneer interior, the resultant machine attracted a deluge of enquiries. Entering production in April 1964, the Vanden Plas Princess 1100 boasted a twin-carburettor 1100cc engine, four-speed manual gearbox, front disc brakes, and Hydrolastic interconnected suspension. Priced at £896 (£195 more than the MG 1100 with which it shared a powerplant), the newcomer also featured a West of England cloth headlining, Wilton carpets, reading lights, rear picnic tables and individual folding front seat armrests. In an age of coachbuilt Minis by Wood & Pickett and Radford etc, the Vanden Plas, with its ‘shrunken Rolls-Royce’ cabin, proved a strong seller, with the 1300 version launched in Autumn 1967.Manufactured in 1969, the Vanden Plas offered was road registered on the 17th April that year. Finished in Midnight Blue paintwork with a complementary Grey leather interior upholstery, the Princess boasts options such as the four-speed automatic transmission and heated rear windscreen. Offered for auction now having a recorded mileage of c.78,000 credible miles, ‘UJB 664G’ was lavished with a full engine overhaul by Kingsthorpe Precision Engineering in 2021 to the sum of c.£3,700 in total and has covered minimal mileage since its completion (approximately 500 miles). Other notable works have included a full new carpet set in 2020, and in the last year, a new exhaust, carburettor, fuel pump and cosmetic improvements, as well as refurbished wheels with five new tyres and servicing. Offered with a history file containing a collection of invoices and a current V5C document showing eight former keepers.

Powered by a 1489cc OHV ‘B-Series’ engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the badge engineered duo enjoyed a surprising turn of speed. As befitted a product of one of BMC's most prestigious marques, the Wolseley 1500 was notably well trimmed with suppled leather and lustrous wood veneers. Remaining in production until 1965, some 93,000 Wolseley 1500s were made. However, survivors are a rare sight today. Self-evidently the subject of past restoration work, ‘584 XUH’ has been further improved since entering the current ownership in 2008. Carrying out the work himself, the vendor installed a new clutch and radiator as well as fettling the brakes, suspension and gearbox. To the interior, he rejuvenated the original leather upholstery with new foam inserts and relacquered the woodwork. Recently awakened after eight years’ slumber in dry storage, the 1500 started readily during our recent photography session. Showing an unwarranted 79,000 miles to its odometer, this appealing Sixties Saloon is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original handbook and sundry parts bills.

Registration No: DVG 679G Chassis No: P1K 5124VW MOT: ExemptFresh out of a comprehensive, fully photo-book documented restorationSupplied with a healthy history file including an original service booklet and owners handbookSubject to a full 'post restoration' detail by Auto Art Detailing of Essex in preparation for saleFitted with tasteful upgrades for modern useBuilt from 1962 through to 1969, the Daimler 2.5 V8/V8 250 was the first car to be produced by the marque on the Jaguar platform, and the last Daimler to feature its own engine. As a derivative of the all-conquering MkII Jaguar, although its fluted grille and more luxurious interior gave the car an air of exclusivity. Its name was drawn from its Edward Turner-designed engine - a lightweight, eight-cylinder 2,548cc V8 shared with the SP 250. Production continued until the manufacture of all MkII derivatives ceased in 1969, by which time some 17,620 of the Daimler version had been made, making it the best-selling car in Daimler’s history.First registered on the 11th April 1969, 'DVG 679G' was first supplied in the attractive colour scheme of Light Blue over a Grey leather interior, and was specified with Automatic transmission. Little is known about the early history of this elegant V8, however it came into the vendor's posession in 2018. An avid enthusiast and restorer, the vendor immediately embarked upon a comprehensive body and mechanical overhaul into the original specification which was completed in 2024 and documented via a set of photographs provided digitally in addition to the history file. Some £35,000 was spent on the works (for which the hours of labour was mostly conducted by the vendor himself and is not recorded) and a list has been provided with some invoices documenting this spend. The first task during the restoration was the bodywork which included new sills and wheel arch repairs and post metalwork, the body was sent for paint at a cost of £7,500. Inside the car the original, now re-connolised Grey leather components have been complimented by reconditioned walnut trimmings. The same level of attention was given to the mechanical elements of the car and the mighty 250 V8 was overhauled along with the automatic transmission. The Daimler's suspension components were completely overhauled, and the rear end was treated to new leaf springs and freshly reconditioned back axle. The entire braking system was also overhauled and uprated with four pot callipers on the front. Finally, a new set of chrome plated wire wheels now compliment the glistening body.All of this work has made this V8-250 in our opinion one of the finest examples in existence today and the vendor has confirmed this by stating that it is 'excellent' all round today. During our inspection and short drive to take photographs during the consignment process, 'DVG 679G' performed very well indeed. Now offered for sale, it has just been subject to a post-restoration detail by Auto Art Detailing and is supplied with a history file including an owner's handbook, original Daimler service books, the UK V5C and the aforementioned list confirming expenditure.

Sharing the same basic M117 engine architecture as its lesser sibling, the new model employed a longer stroke and Bosch KE 111 Jetronic ignition. Credited with some 300bhp and 325lbft of torque in non-catalyst guise, the 560 SEC boasted four-speed automatic transmission as standard. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and 150mph, the high-performance coupe proved a rewarding and enjoyable drive thanks to its all round independent suspension (complete with back axle acceleration stabiliser), four-wheel disc brakes and power-assisted steering. The fastest, most powerful Mercedes-Benz of its generation, the 560 SEC was a strong seller with some 5,299 despatched worldwide in 1989.Finished in Nautic Blue, complemented by a Grey leather interior this handsome 560 SEC is also fitted with smart AMG-style alloy wheels. Originally specified with seat heaters for left and right front seats plus headrests in the rear ‘D316 SNB’ was the subject of a £2,403 mechanical refreshment in 2024. At some point the vendor has lost the history file for the car, however, with invoices for work carried out in current ownership still on file. As recently as September, the SEC benefitted from a new MOT which was passed with no advisories. It comes to the sale, offered with current V5C.

Registration No: PL07 UKA Chassis No: ZAR93900005013644 MOT: March 2025Excellent service history with fourteen services documentedDesirable six-speed manual gearbox exampleJust four former keepersSupplied with a history file including the original book pack in the Alfa Romeo walletThe Type 939 Spider is widely regarded as the 6th generation of Alfa Romeo Spiders, the first version of which was released in 1966. The New Spider version was launched at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, where it also received the "Cabrio of the Year" award and production ran until November 2010. Based on the Brera Coupe, it seats two passengers rather than four passengers as in the Coupe. Originally, Alfa Romeo offered two engines: the 2.2 L straight-4 and 3.2 L V6 JTS engines — the JTD common rail turbo diesel was introduced at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show and was offered with the options of either six-speed manual or automatic transmissions.Manufactured in 2007, the Spider JTS offered was supplied new by E. S. Jones Alfa Romeo of Hawarden, Flintshire, being registered new on the 1st June. Fitted with the 2.2-litre straight-four engine allied to the desirable six-speed manual transmission, the Alfa Romeo is finished in Black paintwork with a Black hood and matching Black leather interior upholstery. Having had just four former keepers, the Spider has covered 95,000 miles from new. Benefitting from a new timing chain kit and balancer belt kit in 2018, the Alfa Romeo has recently received brake attention in 2021.Accompanied by the book pack in the Alfa Romeo wallet which contains the owner’s manual, guides and stamped service book, ‘PL07 UKA’ has a strong service history with fourteen services (plus the PDI) documented across the service book and further invoices, with the most recent being completed in June 2023 at c.93,000 miles. Also included in the history file are a collection of invoices, MOT certificates and MOT history, a no advisory MOT certificate until March 2025 and a current V5C document, as well as two sets of keys and the original tool kit and jack.

Registration No: Unregistered Chassis No: HBJ8/32826 MOT: ExemptAn exciting restoration project supplied with an abundance of partsRight hand drive, overdrive specificationUnderstood to have only completed 20,000 miles before being taken off the road during the 1970sA significant step in terms of 'Big Healey' evolution and foundation block for one of the 1960s' most charismatic rally cars, the 3000 MkI was introduced in March 1959. Powered by an enlarged 2912cc version of BMC's C-Series straight-six engine that developed some 124bhp and 167lbft of torque, it could be had in two-seater (BN7) or 2+2 seater (BT7) configurations. Progressively improved, the 3000 metamorphosed through MkII and MkIIa guises before the arrival of the ultimate MkIII BJ8 in October 1963. Boasting a centre console, proper convertible hood, wood veneer dashboard, redesigned exhaust system and wind-up windows, the 2+2 seater BJ8 proved a comfortable and fast grand tourer. With engine output boosted to 148bhp and 165lbft of torque thanks to a new camshaft and better valve springs etc, its reputed 124mph top speed was accessed via a four-speed manual gearbox. Last of the line, the Phase Two variant benefited from redesigned rear suspension, strengthened splined hubs and larger diameter front disc brakes. Of the 17,712 MKIIIs built, just 1,038 are understood to have been to RHD, Phase Two specification.Understood to have been built during 1966 and one of a batch of right-hand drive cars that was exported to Hong Kong when new, chassis HBJ8/32862 is said to have been involved in an accident early on in its life during the 1970s and has remained off the road since. Acquired by Mr G. Lucas MBE and re-imported to the UK during this period, the Healey was to be the retirement project of Mr Lucas and was kept in dry storage after a strip down. Sadly, Mr Lucas has suffered from a decline in his health which has resulted in the project now needing to be sold.Upon inspection, we noted that the body is in need of total restoration, but does come with a large number of its original or replacement panels. The original Red vinyl interior is also believed to be mostly present along with much chrome trim including front and rear bumpers. The shell will roll, but many of the spare parts are supplied in accompanying crates or loosely. The power unit is provided on a cradle and is supplied with the cylinder head, rocker cover and rockers, and the power unit appears largely corrosion free.All interested parties should be aware that no history file is available to accompany the car, so it is the purchasers' responsibility to register it with the DVLA for UK use. The original, BMC supplied chassis tag is also included to aid the purchaser. For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Registration No: YUY 370H Chassis No: GCN-1318G MOT: March 2025A home market car first registered on the 5th September 1969Subject to an extensive bodywork refurbishment and engine overhaul in 1992Offered with a large history file detailing servicing and restoration billsIntended as a flagship sportscar to replace the Austin-Healey 3000, the MGC was introduced in autumn 1967. Based around the same two-door monocoque bodyshell as the humble MGB (albeit with a substantially altered engine bay and floorpan), the newcomer was powered by a 2912cc OHV straight-six engine allied to either four-speed manual plus overdrive or three-speed automatic transmission. Equipped with new torsion-bar independent front suspension, telescopic shock absorbers and lower geared rack and pinion steering, it was visually distinguished by a 'power bulge' bonnet and taller 15-inch wheels. While early road tests criticised the car's 'nose heavy' handling later reports were far kinder (which suggests that Abingdon's engineers quickly overcame the larger powerplant's extra mass). With some 145bhp and 170lbft of torque on tap, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Too readily confused with the four-cylinder MGB, it was dropped in 1969 after just 4,544 Roadsters and 4,458 GTs had allegedly been made. Though, some forty years on, the MGC's lack of period sales success has only made it more collectible.According to the BMIHT heritage certificate on file, chassis G-CN1/318-G was despatched on the 12th February 1968 to Windmill & Lewis Limited of Bristol and was specified in the attractive colour scheme of Mineral Blue over a Black interior trim. Little is known of the early history of the MGC, however it is known that by 1992 it was in the possession of a Mr H.D Brown in a rather dilapidated state and in need of restoration. The Classic Transport Company of Wolverhampton were entrusted with the refurbishment works to the car, and invoices on file from them are backed up by a photographic record of works undertaken, which included panel working such as new sills, fresh paint in the original Mineral Blue, fresh interior trim and a new hood, rechroming work and a complete overhaul of the straight-six power unit. Once back on the road, the two-seater was continuously kept well maintained and the condition of the now thirty year old restoration is testament to the high quality of the works performed and its gentle life. Acquired by the current keeper in 2018, the car was used sparingly for sunny days, and an invoice on file dating to April 2024 confirms a full oil and coolant service, new batteries, remedial works to the carburettors and work to the ignition system to aid its good running.Upon inspection, the vendor noted that 'YUY 370H' is a particularly good example of an MGC Roadster and remarked that it has remained in 'very good' condition all round.

Registration No: 551 XWD Chassis No: A1210428501142 MOT: July 2025Subject to a thorough brake overhaul, new battery, replacement engine mounts and fresh bushes earlier this yearOffered with a collection of invoices and current V5C documentSubject to a repaint in Ivory plus an engine overhaul as part of a major refurbishment in c.2005Current ownership since 2018The 190SL was introduced in 1955 – the year Mercedes swept all before it on the Mille Miglia with the 300SLR. Indeed, the graceful, new two-door, convertible grand tourer was sold alongside the road-going version of the SLR – the 300SL - whose styling it strongly resembled. In fact, the underpinnings of the two cars were quite different and, while the 300SL had a purpose-built tubular spaceframe (W198), its smaller sibling was built on a shortened version of the ‘Ponton’ saloon (W121) platform, which was of monocoque construction. The 190SL also boasted an all-new engine - an over-square SOHC straight-four unit of 1897cc that produced some 120bhp, which was sufficient to propel the car to a maximum speed of 112mph. The engine was coupled to a manual four-speed gearbox. The suspension comprised double wishbones and coil springs at the front and a coil-sprung swing axle at the rear. Steering was by recirculating ball and braking by power-assisted drums all round. Built to the highest standards and among the quickest comparable cars of the time, the 190SL featured a well-appointed cockpit, notable comfort for its occupants and relatively generous luggage space. The 190SL continued in production until 1963, when both it and the 300SL were replaced by the 230SL (W113). By this time 25,881 190SLs had been produced. Factory finished in the rare and attractive hue of Ivory (DB608), this particular example was one of just 2,722 190SLs completed during the 1958 model year. Thought to have begun life in Europe - if only because of its KPH speedometer (and other metric instruments) - the two-seater subsequently migrated to the USA. Acquired by its penultimate American keeper in 1994, the Mercedes-Benz emerged from an extensive refurbishment eleven years later. As well as a bodywork restoration and repaint, the work encompassed an engine overhaul, interior re-trim and a soft-top and sundry re-chroming. The gauges were renovated, the brake servo / water pump / shock absorbers replaced and the wheel bearings repacked etc. A popular upgrade, the original Solex carburettors were removed in favour of Mikuni units (which deliver more power as well as easier starting and smoother running). Resident in Maine between 2015 and August 2018 when it entered the current ownership, the 190SL journeyed across the Atlantic that same year. Kept in climate-controlled storage since arriving on these shores and road registered with the DVLA as ‘551 XWD’, the two-seater was entrusted to Southern Classics of Twickenham some four/five months ago where it was treated to a thorough brake system overhaul, replacement propshaft coupling, alternator mounting kit, new engine mounts (x4) and fresh anti-roll bar bushes (x8) plus a new chrome starter button at a cost of £5,813.06. Believed to retain its original carpets, the vendor has also ordered a new 14-pc set to be included in the sale (or post-sale depending on production time and shipping). Passing an MOT test on July 2nd 2024 with ‘no advisories’, the 190SL has barely been driven since. Indeed, it has covered minimal miles in the 19 years since the big 2005 renovations. Still presenting well as an older restoration and seemingly ready to be enjoyed by a new owner, ‘551 XWD’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.The vendor informs us plans for romantic weekend country lane jaunts and pub lunch stops, have for the past few years given way to children immersed in weekend sport and with time needing to be spent with other classic cars he has, so, with a heavy heart, it is now offered to market for someone else who will have the time to use, enjoy and share such an example of a beautiful Mercedes marque.

Registration No: K911 EGM Chassis No: JN10RGZ32U0001682 MOT: November 2025Highly original example, imported to the UK in 1999Dry stored for more than two decades, but started and driven recentlyAutomatic transmission, with removable targa roof panels A low mileage Z32, worthy of close inspectionIntroduced in 1989, the Z32 version of Nissan’s 300 ZX sportscar was among the first production machines to be designed with the assistance of a Cray-2 supercomputer. Altogether faster and more capable than its Z31 predecessor, the newcomer was equipped with all round independent suspension, power assisted rack and pinion steering and vented disc brakes. Powered by a 2960cc DOHC V6 engine with variable valve timing in either normally aspirated or turbocharged guises, the Z32 could also be had with a choice of five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. The twin-turbo model was credited with developing 276bhp and 274lbft of torque, reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.6 seconds and 155mph.Imported from the car-friendly climate of Japan and purchased by our vendor as an investment back in 1999; he used the car for a mere three months before placing it into dry storage. Following more than two decades of slumber, ‘K911 EGM’ started and drove well during our recent photography session and should be a straightforward and rewarding recommissioning project. Finished in Red, with a Black interior, this Z32 has covered a very modest c.55,000km and presents well, with just some minor wear to the front splitter. Offered with the seldom-seen original roof panel storage bags; the car is correctly UK-registered on a current V5C document and represents a relatively rare opportunity, with the number of unmodified 300ZXs dwindling in recent years.

Registration No: BBK 727M Chassis No: 2342114481 MOT: ExemptUtilising a 1600cc twin port engineRecent re trim of the upholsteryImported to the UK in 2021 before being registered in 2022Showing c.97,000km on speedometer (60,273 miles)Introduced in 1968, the T2 generation of Volkswagen’s iconic, forward-control Type 2 was nicknamed the ‘Bay Window’, the newcomer incorporated a revised half-shaft driveline to the rear which not only facilitated an increase in ride height but also improved handling. The T2’s lengthened wheelbase was welcomed by motor caravan builders, if only because the increased interior space it yielded made conversion and customisation easier. Facelifted in 1972 for the following model year, the Volkswagen gained more visible / higher set indicators and stronger square-profile bumpers that enabled the so-called T2b to meet contemporary US passenger car safety standards (tests from which vans were technically exempt).Imported from the left-hand drive market of Egypt and brought to the UK in 2021, before being registered here in 2022, this Type 2 shows a recorded mileage of c.97,000km on the speedometer (60,273 miles). It is a ‘people-carrying’ microbus example with factory-fitted side windows with opening quarter-lights for ventilation. The interior has seen the addition of Orange upholstery. The engine bay is dry and tidy and contains a 1600cc twin port ‘B code’ engine, although the heating isn’t connected. The bay window has recently benefitted from four new tyres. It is being offered with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Luke Hipkiss luke.hipkiss@handh.co.uk 07886398226

Registration No: XFO 908 Chassis No: GA14019DL MOT: ExemptPreviously owned, and hand-painted by Scottish artist Craigie AitchisonPresented in an unusual combination of Pink and White with matching interiorAn exciting opportunity for a vehicle with an interesting historyLaunched in April 1959, the Herald was the first Standard-Triumph to utilise the company's new generation separate chassis platform (which would later underpin the Spitfire, GT6 and Vitesse). Blessed with elegant lines, courtesy of Giovanni Michelotti, the model featured all-round independent suspension and rack-and-pinion steering. An accomplished town car, criticism as to its lack of pace was answered by the introduction of the '1200' during April 1961. Powered by an 1147cc four-cylinder OHV engine that developed 39bhp (boosted to 48bhp from 1963), it was capable of 75mph. Visually distinguished by a new laminate dashboard and rubber-covered bumpers, the 1200 could be had in saloon, coupe and estate guises.First registered in June 1961, this Triumph Herald 1200 has a rather interesting history, notably owned by the artist Craigie Aitchison. As an artist, his work was notable for crucifixion scenes, small dogs, horses, and still lifes. Similar to painters as varied as Piero della Francesca, Milton Avery, and William Blake, Aitchison’s paintings have a mystical quality. Born on January 13, 1926 in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, he studied law at Edinburgh University before attending the Slade School of Fine Art in London. Aitchison was known to drive around London in his Triumph Herald, which he had hand-painted Pink and White, alongside his Bedlington terriers in the back of the car. These terriers were a staple of his work.Purchased from the Craigie Aitchison estate sale in 2012, the next owner would keep the ‘XFO 908’ for six years, and the following owner for two before that, it was acquired by the current owner on 26th July 2020. Following its purchase, the car joined another Herald with its owner, who had the interior reupholstered to match the paintwork. Last serviced in March 2024 and in current ownership for the last four years, ‘XFO 908’ would benefit from some attention to bring it back to its former glory. Overall, this presents an opportunity to acquire an example of this much-loved model with an interesting history.

Registration No: WLD 762G Chassis No: 1A33641BW MOT: January 2025Displaying a credible c.63,900 milesUsed frequently in current ownershipBenefitting from a recent service with attention paid to the brakes, suspension and fuel systemFitted with wire wheels and recently re-chromed bumpersIntroduced in 1966, the Daimler Sovereign was a more luxurious version of the contemporaneous Jaguar 420. Differentiated from its sibling by means of a fluted radiator grille and a better standard of equipment, it otherwise shared the same monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round independent suspension, servo-assisted disc brakes and a detuned version (245bhp vs. 265bhp) of the Jaguar MkX's 4235cc DOHC straight-six engine. In many ways a testbed for the forthcoming Jaguar XJ6's styling and mechanical layout, the Daimler Sovereign remained in production until 1969 by which time some 5,829 left and right-hand drive examples are thought to have been made. Among the rarest of the Browns Lane-designed Daimlers, the Sovereign is a highly underrated motorcar combining an elegant 1960s design with surprisingly modern road manners.This Daimler Sovereign was registered new in October 1968. Believed to be finished in Old English White, the interior presents as very original and is finished in a complementing Blue. In recent ownership, ‘WLD’ has been used as a ‘regular driver’, along with a collection of other regularly used classic cars and motorcycles. Upon our visit the Damiler started up on the button and drove well having recently benefitted from a recent service with attention paid to the brakes, suspension and the fuel system. The service history suggests the displayed mileage of some 63,978 miles is credible, with 60,102 miles recorded up to 1990, with the car being laid-up in storage for a number of years afterwards.Chrome wire wheels, recently re-chromed bumpers and raised silver on black number plates contribute to a smart appearance, otherwise, cosmetically the car suffers from a few bubbling spots on the bodywork and a dent on the nearside rear door, but otherwise, it appears very solid. The last MOT was carried out in January 2024 with the odometer reading 62,974 miles and no advisories. Offered with a current V5C, 'WLD' would make a very useable classic that with a bit of attention to the bodywork, could be quickly improved upon.

Registration No: TAO 917S Chassis No: 0141372 MOT: ExemptTop of the range TX example with five-speed manual gearbox, central locking, and electric windowsImported by the vendor in 2020 from FranceBenefitting from some £8,600 worth of restoration and recommissioning in 2022Offered with a collection of invoices and a CD of renovation imagesLaunched at the Geneva Motor Show in 1965, the Renault 16 was the first French car in its market sector with a hatchback body. After almost ten years of production, in 1974, the TX joined the line-up as the top of the range model and was fitted with a 93bhp 1,647cc engine and a five-speed gearbox. It was the first French car with central door locking, electric front windows, a sports steering wheel, laminated windscreen and inertia-reel front seat belts. The R16, a comfortable car with good roadholding, proved very popular and sold exceptionally well, with some 1.8 million cars built.Chassis ‘0141372’ was manufactured in 1978 and is one of the desirable range-topping TX examples and is understood to have resided in its home market of France from new until spotted by the vendor advertised on Le Parking in early 2020 while he was searching for a R16 after owning several previously. Acquiring the car for some €8,000, he subsequently had the TX transported to the United Kingdom and later that year was road registered as ‘TAO 917S’. Thereafter, ‘0141372’ was entrusted to the very highly regarded Renault specialist Renault Reborn, for restoration and recommissioning as required.Benefitting from bodywork renovations and repainting; an engine overhaul; engine bay restoration; radiator refresh; new rear brake shoes, brake hoses, handbrake cable and master cylinder; new gearbox seals; set of replacement seats and door cards; undersealing; and new tyres, the work with Renault Reborn totalled c.£7,000 with some £1,600 additionally spent on parts and other improvements, bringing the renovation cost to a total of approximately £8,600. Further benefitting from an engine tune and brake system bleed earlier this year, the Renault started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. The R16 is accompanied by a history file that includes a collection of invoices, documentation relating to the UK registration, a CD with images of the restoration work and a current V5C document.

Registration No: SIL 5205 Chassis No: WBAEA8201D8165297 MOT: June 2025Reportedly one of just 862 BMW 628 CSi Automatics completed to RHD specificationCurrent (fourth) ownership since being bought from the Classic & Sportscar Centre of Malton for £12,000 in 2019Rare and distinctive Agate Green Metallic paint teamed with Black leather upholsteryPredominantly BMW main dealer service historyOriginal book pack, service book, numerous invoices etcSuccessor to the race proven (E9) 3.0CS/CSi high performance sports coupes, the 6-series was introduced in August 1976. More forgiving than its predecessors, it utilised a modified version of the (E12) 5-series saloon platform equipped with all-round independent suspension (coil and wishbone front, trailing-arm rear) and powerful disc brakes. A natural rival to the 928 and XJS, the four-seater 6-series proved more capacious than the Porsche and sportier than the Jaguar. Immediately recognisable thanks to its distinctive 'shark nose' frontal styling and thin pillared glasshouse it boasts real road presence. An impression backed up by the various versions of BMW's mighty M30, SOHC straight-six engine fitted throughout the range. The 628CSi's 2788cc unit developed some 184bhp and 177lbft of torque (outputs that were reputedly sufficient to propel it from 0-60mph in 8.3 seconds and on to 127mph). Reportedly one of just 862 BMW 628CSi Automatics built to right-hand drive specification, chassis WBAEA8201D816 was finished in the rare and attractive combination of Agate Green Metallic with Black leather upholstery. First registered as ‘A140 SUV’ on August 1st 1983, the Coupe was sold via marque concessionaire First Front Garages of Kennington to Mr Jeremy Carter four days later. Bought by fellow Londoner Mrs Shelagh Ansari during September 1986, she and her family had the four-seater re-registered as ‘SIL 5205’ and kept it for the next thirty-three years. Predominantly main dealer maintained throughout its life, the 628CSi’s last recorded trip to a BMW service centre was on 20th January 2012 at an indicated 115,385 miles. Treated to a service, new electric sunroof motor and some minor bodywork repairs before entering the current (fourth) ownership via the Classic & Sportscar Centre of Malton on 18th September 2019 for £12,000, the Coupe has since been looked after by Vector Vehicle Systems of Northwich. The original odometer failed at c.123,600 miles with the replacement unit now showing some 1,500 miles. MOT’d until June 2025 with a single advisory relating to its front number plate, this tempting E24 is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original book pack and a history folder.

Registration No: A20 XXX Chassis No: SAJJNADW3DA151756 MOT: May 2025Just c.47,000 miles from newResided its whole life in the Derbyshire village of BamfordJust two owners from newHighly original and offered with a history file including the original bill of sales invoiceLaunched in 1975, Jaguar's XJ-S was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads and so came with automatic transmission as standard. Though, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post-1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long-awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and a sophisticated electric hood. Underpinned by the same all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power-assisted rack and pinion steering as its Fixed-Head Coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form.Supplied new by Hatfields Jaguar of Sheffield and first registered on the 14th June 1988, this XJ-S is believed to be one of the first 1,000 V12 Convertibles produced. Finished from the factory in Signal Red paintwork with Magnolia leather interior upholstery and a Black hood, the Jaguar also has a Black hood cover. The first owner, a gentleman residing in the Derbyshire village of Bamford, purchased the XJ-S as a retirement present for himself and therefore was passionate about the car, reputedly never using it unless the day was entirely clear weather and was garaged throughout his custodianship. Following his passing in 2018, the vendor purchased the Jaguar having known both the car and first owner due to also being a resident of Bamford, and continued the same care routine for the XJ-S.Providing with a full respray, wheels re-annodised, and undersealing by WatJag upon purchase, the vendor has since lavished ‘A20 XXX’ with brake attention, and a new power steering rack, actuator and reservoir in 2020 costing over £3,000, as well as a new battery in 2023. Offered now with just c.47,000 miles on the odometer, the XJ-S is accompanied by the original sales invoices and a letter from the dealership director to the first owner; a collection of invoices and MOT history; no advisory MOT until May 2025; JDHT Heritage Certificate; and the current V5C showing just one former keeper. Also accompanying is the original book pack, in the Jaguar carrier with the handbook and service book, as well as the original Jaguar tool kit, jack, touch-up paint pen, and stereo cassette.Such low mileage and ownership examples are few and far between, and this one having resided in a Derbyshire village its whole life, is certainly one to consider.

Registration No: AWV 570 Chassis No: 275532 MOT: ExemptSubject to a self-evident previous restorationBenefitting from significant improvement in the last twelve monthsOffered with hood and sidescreensScarce Opal Tourer variant of the ever popular Austin Seven!Spurred on by the introduction of the Horsepower Tax in 1921, Sir Herbert Austin began working on the concept of a small family car despite opposition from the company’s board due to their being in receivership at the time. Undaunted, Sir Herbert engaged the services of a young draftsman from the Longbridge Plant, eighteen-year-old Stanley Edge, and plans were drawn up in the billiard room of his house, Lickey Grange. Initially powered by a side valve four-cylinder engine of 696cc (subsequently enlarged to 747cc / 10.5hp) and featuring a detachable cylinder head, the new model was rated at 7.2 horsepower. In August 1934, the Austin Seven range was updated with three new editions – the Opal, the Ruby and the Pearl, known as the 'Jewel' range. By the time production ceased with the advent of war in 1939 some 290,000 cars and vans had been produced.Chassis ‘275532’ is a notably late Opal having been road-registered on the 12th July 1937. Finished in the attractive colour scheme of Dark Blue with Black wings and running boards, the Seven features a complementary Black interior upholstery, as well as a Black hood and side screens. Subject to a self-evident previous restoration, the Austin was purchased by the vendor as an addition to his private collection and as a first foray into pre-war car ownership. Bitten by the pre-war car bug, the Seven is now on offer due to larger pre-war cars on the horizon for his collection.Benefitting from much improvement during the vendor's ownership, ‘AWV 570’ has received new bushes and kingpins by specialist Lawrence Austin 7, as well as a new fuel tank and radiator, all earlier this year. Offered with a history file that includes a collection of invoices, previous MOT certificates, old logbooks, and a current V5C document that shows five former keepers. With Opals one of the more scarce Seven variants and benefiting from open motoring for good weather, this example with recent mechanical improvement is certainly one worth considering.

Registration No: BCV 433T Chassis No: AR115410006155 MOT: ExemptHighly credible c.56,500 milesImported to the UK in 2021Accompanied with a history file including a small collection of previous invoicesOffered with current V5CIntroduced in 1970, the second series of Alfa Romeo's iconic Spider Veloce was visually distinguished by a subtly revised grille, more raked windscreen, fashionable cut-off 'Kamm Tail' and new door handles. Designed and built by Pininfarina, the newcomer's two-door monocoque bodyshell incorporated the same sophisticated independent front suspension, five-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel disc brakes as its 'Duetto' predecessor. Initially powered by a 1779cc version of Alfa Romeo's jewel-like four-cylinder 'twin-cam' engine, the second series cars were upgraded to 1962cc during 1971. With a quoted 132bhp and 134lbft on tap, the 2000 Spider Veloce was reputedly capable of over 120mph. Great fun to drive, the model evolved through third and fourth series remaining in production until 1993.Displaying a highly credible 56,500 miles, this example was imported into the UK in 2021, with the Spider originating in the southern US states of Texas and Oklahoma. Upgrades and improvements include a stainless steel exhaust that was carried out in current ownership, renewed electrics, a recent battery, refurbished calipers and re-foaming and reupholstering. A service was carried out at c.54,000 miles. Indeed, paperwork from Texas and Oklahoma shows the mileage rising. In recent ownership, the Spider has been used for a European tour through France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany and finally through to Lake Garda, Italy in 2023. The vendor has just completed a Yorkshire Dales and Moors tour this year. Accompanied by a 4-season weather cover, a history file that includes both import and American export paperwork and a small collection of previous invoices. It is offered with a V5C Registration Document. For more information, please contact: Luke Hipkiss luke.hipkiss@handh.co.uk 07886398226

Registration No: CRF 183K Chassis No: GHN5252738G MOT: ExemptFinished in White complemented to a Red interiorFitted with 'Minilite'-style alloy wheelsOffered with history file and current V5CThe MG A had really been the first 'BMC corporate' MG, and the MG B which replaced it was intended to be even more popular. Although the engineering of the new car was evolutionary - the B-Series engine, transmission, rear axle and independent front suspension were all improved versions of those used in the previous MG A. The first incarnation of the MG B built from 1962 to April 1965, featured distinctive pull-type door handles and a 95bhp/1798cc engine with three-main-bearing crankshaft and while overdrive was an optional extra, the model's top speed was more than 100mph. Today, it enjoys a very strong following and with its GT sister has spawned a dedicated support industry. For many, the early chrome-bumper MG B Roadster is the epitome of the classic British sports car. When the MG B replaced the MG A in 1962, the main change was the use of a lower and wider steel monocoque bodyshell rather than a separate chassis and body, and a larger 1798cc engine instead of the 1498cc power unit fitted to the MG A. The other major changes to the model were a new grille and an all-synchromesh gearbox on the 1967-launched MkII, whilst American Federal-compliant Black rubber instead of chrome bumpers further changed the appearance from 1974.First registered on 1st August 1971 and displaying a mere c.50,775 miles, this UK market MG B Roadster is finished in the attractive colour combination of White complemented by a Red interior. Externally, it wears handsome ‘Minilite’-style alloy wheels and is a desirable chrome bumper model. The dashboard wears wooden panels, that work well with the Red interior of this early 1970s example. An older restoration from a few years ago, the B is said to present in ‘very good’ condition. The interior is described by the vendor as ‘excellent’ and the exterior’s panel fit as ‘superb’. It is being offered with a history file and the current V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: 880 CTU Chassis No: 500293D MOT: September 2025Ford 5.7 litre V8 engine mated to a 5-speed ZF manual gearboxOne of just 12 RHD Lele Sports built according to the Iso and Bizzarini Owners' ClubOffered with a collection of invoices and current V5CSubject to the cylinder heads being re-skimmed and a Hi flo radiator fitted in 2017A rare and exciting motorcar A credible rival to the likes of the Aston Martin DBS and Ferrari 365GT 2+2, the Iso Lele was even more exclusive. Phased out when Iso closed its doors in December 1974, some sources suggest that just 317 cars were produced of which a mere 12 being of a right-hand drive Sport specification, according to the Iso and Bizzarrini Owner’s Club. The Sport was fitted with an integrated chin spoiler and lightweight seats and bumpers.One of just 12 right-hand drive Lele Sports built. ‘500293D’ is a later iteration of the Lele and therefore powered by the Ford 5.7 litre Cobra Jet V8 engine mated to a 5-speed ZF manual gearbox. Finished in Bright Red with a Black leather interior the speedo displays some 34,651 miles at the time of consignment. The interior features air conditioning, a full-length electric sliding roof, electric windows and power steering, which was an extra on this late car. The Lele was the subject of a refresh c.2017, including a repaint with the screens out, a new headlining and new window rubbers. There is a receipt on file for work carried out in May 2017, by Rock Valley Automotive in Bristol, to skim the cylinder heads, fit a new head gasket, a Hi-Flow radiator and thermostat. In addition, there's been a brake overhaul, also a new clutch assembly, starter motor, water pump, copper lines and a service that included, oil, oil filter, plugs and leads etc, all at a cost of £2,985. We are also advised that the Lele Sport has benefitted from a new fuel pump with the tank also removed and re-lined. Offering Italian exotica with simple US V8 power, this is a rare and exciting motorcar. The Lele was MOT tested in September 2024 at 34,642 displayed miles and runs until 18th September 2025. It comes to auction with a collection of invoices, a DVLA vehicle ownership print-out, a copy of the owner’s manual and a current V5C.

Registration No: E914 NOW Chassis No: SAXXFWNM1BD641639 MOT: May 2025Displaying a credible c.46,000 milesOffered with a history file, original handbook and the current V5CImported into the UK in 2016Finished in Black, original side decals, Grey cloth seats and Red carpets plus seat beltsThe MG Metro was introduced in May 1982 some 18 months after the closure of the MG factory at Abingdon. MG’s first attempt at the then new ‘hot hatch’ era, it was the perception of many manufacturers that most car buyers were concerned open top two seat sports cars were something from the past. The MG Metro boasted some quite positive features for the day including the standard use of powerful servo assisted brakes using four pot (piston) calipers up front, very competitive performance and superb economy courtesy of the responsive and well proven A+ series engine. With around 120,000 made between 1982 and 1990, most are of the facelift variant launched in October 1984 where the bonnet line was lowered and streamlined, and a new interior and dash moulding was introduced.First registered in the UK on 1st November 2016, this Austin Rover MG Metro was for a Maltese customer and despatched to them from Muscats Motors Ltd Msida, Malta (original despatch note on file), being first registered in Malta on 27th May 1988. Leading a charmed life in the sun, the MG Metro resided in Malta (a right-hand drive market) until 2016, subsequently being exported from the Mediterranean island at the end of June 2016 and displaying some 40,500 miles (65,287km recorded on the Maltese documents). Back in the UK the MG Metro was registered in the mainland UK with its current registration number ‘E914 NOW’ before reaching its new owner, where it remained with them until spring 2023 before being subsequently sold to our vendor. Now with two former UK keepers recorded, the interior is in 'Good' condition, the seats have survived well with some of the trim showing the usual sagging often seen on 1980s cars. Subject to cylinder head work in c.2017, the MG has also benefitted from a new exhaust along with new suspension units. Offered with a collection of paperwork, invoices, MOTs, a copy of some Maltese export paperwork and the current V5C, this is an opportunity to purchase an MG Metro that spent many years in a forgiving car environment, that is still RHD and UK specification.

Registration No: SIG 6283 Chassis No: WP0ZZZ98ZWS606013 MOT: T.B.AFinished in the rare colour combination of Arena Red Metallic complemented to to Sahara Beige leather interiorOffered with owners wallet and handbooksCollection of invoices and old MOT certificates The Boxster was unveiled in late 1996 and was the first Porsche since the 550 Spyder to be designed from scratch as a Roadster. It was penned by Dutch designer Harm Lagaay, who was also primarily responsible for the 968, 993, Cayenne, 996 and Carrera GT. At launch it was 2.5-litres in capacity, but the standard offering was increased to 2.7-litres in 2000. The M96 engine related to that in the 996, and the newcomer also shared that car's bonnet, front wings and headlights. The suspension was independent all-round, braking by power-assisted ventilated discs and steering by rack and pinion.First registered on the 11th May 1998 and with five recorded former keepers, this Boxster is finished in the rare and handsome colour combination of Arena Red Metallic complemented to a Sahara Beige leather interior. There are invoices on file for maintenance and servicing with the same garage, Biddulph Exhaust and Tyre of Stoke-on-Trent from 2009 to 2018. Work completed (invoices on file), has come to in excess of a £3,000 with the garage over the years. Work has included the replacement of the alternator, water pump and the auxilliary belts and pulleys in May 2018, an MOT and check over in April 2016, a 'full' service, a new rear shock absorber, a new front and two rear drop links and an MOT in March 2015, a service and brake pads in March 2012, plugs, coils and servicing in February 2010 and a service in 2009. The Boxster is offered with an owner's wallet and handbooks, a collection of invoices and old MOT history and the current V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: GFF 902N Chassis No: 1352183373 MOT: August 2025Subject to a previous comprehensive restorationIn current ownership since 2009Desirable 1303 model, described as the best handling of the classic BeetlesSupplied with a history fileAlong with the Ford Model T, Citroen 2CV, and original Mini, the Volkswagen Beetle is generally recognised as being one of the elite pack of pop motoring icons. Conceived in the small Stuttgart design office of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, the air-cooled, rear-engined 'People's Wagon', sponsored by the new German Chancellor, one Adolf Hitler before the outbreak of War, and resurrected by the British Army Major Ivan Hirst as part of the Allies post-war rebuilding of bombed-out German industry, went on to clock up a 21 million world record production milestone. The 1302 and 1303 'Super Beetles' saw the final development of the Beetle, and in many ways, they were the best. To the casual observer, the 1970 Beetle looked similar to previous models, the 1302 and 1303 ‘Super’ Beetles were the most radical reworks of the car during its long life. MacPherson strut front suspension was adopted, which allowed more front boot space and improved handling. The struts also allowed space for front disc brakes to be fitted from the factory.Manufactured in 1975, chassis 1352183373 was supplied new to the United Kingdom in right-hand drive, being registered new on the 3rd June that year. Understood to have been provided with an extensive chassis-up restoration to a good standard in 2004, the Beetle was provided a full repaint in Bronze paintwork and was fitted with a renewed engine as part of this restoration. In current registered ownership since 2009, the Beetle recently benefitted from new front and rear brake shoes and front springs (in 2023). Offered with c.91,500 miles on the odometer, the Volkswagen is supplied with a history file that contains a selection of previous MOTs and invoices, a current MOT certificate until August next year with no advisories and a current V5C document. Featuring 'Empi 8-spoke'-style alloy wheels, the Beetle started readily and running driving well during our recent photography session, this example is a nicely presented example.

Registration No: EVG 790H Chassis No: GHN5442391G MOT: ExemptBenefits from a replacement Ivor Searle engineFitted with electronic ignition and a chrome bumper conversionDisplays a credible c.96,000 miles and current ownership since 2019The MG A had really been the first 'BMC corporate' MG, and the MG B which replaced it was intended to be even more popular. Although the engineering of the new car was evolutionary - the B Series engine, transmission, rear axle and independent front suspension were all improved versions of those used in the previous MG A. The first incarnation of the MG B built from 1962 to April 1965 featured distinctive pull-type door handles and a 95bhp/1798cc engine with three-main-bearing crankshaft and while overdrive was an optional extra, the model's top speed was more than 100mph. Today, it enjoys a very strong following and with its GT sister has spawned a dedicated support industry. For many, the early chrome-bumper MG B Roadster is the epitome of the classic British sports car. When the MG B replaced the MG A in 1962, the main change was the use of a lower and wider steel monocoque bodyshell rather than a separate chassis and body, and a larger 1798cc engine instead of the 1498cc power unit fitted to the MG A. The other major changes to the model were a new grille and an all-synchromesh gearbox on the 1967-launched MkII, whilst American Federal-compliant black rubber instead of chrome bumpers further changed the appearance from 1974.First registered in August 1977, the vendor has owned the car for 5 years, with the MG B currently displaying a credible c.96,000 miles on the odometer. Finished in an iconic Green, prior to the current ownership, the car has been subject to a replacement Ivor Searle engine, completed some 12-15 years ago, with the factory gearbox with overdrive on 3rd and 4th gear. As is quite common these days, the rubber impact bumpers have been backdated to the earlier chrome bumpers, and the keen sighted will have noted the Roadster wears an earlier registration number, having been changed to an age-related 1970 number to complement the period of chrome bumper MG Bs, we believe, by a previous keeper. The dashboard remains in 1977 specification.Thought to have been subjected to rust preventative treatment underneath, some 6 to 7 years ago, the Roadster also benefitted from having electronic ignition fitted in the last year, to aid a healthy spark and more reliable cold starts. At the time of consignment, the radio cassette player worked fine. It is offered with a V5C and a full tonneau.

Registration No: WC 1431 Chassis No: GS 138 MOT: ExemptRare Vintage-era French cycle carSubject to an extensive restoration during the 1980sFitted with an upgraded 1,098cc OHV Chapuis-Dornier engine and four-speed gearboxEligible for events such as Vintage Montlhery and VSCC hillclimbsFounded in 1912 by Bertrand Montet, Derby was initially engaged in general engineering and after the Great War dealt in War-surplus Harley-Davidson motorcycles. From 1921, the firm began producing lightweight Voiturettes (Cyclecars) that were fitted with the Harley Davidson V-Twin motorcycle engines with which they had become so familiar. Very quickly the marque started to produce larger models and would fit these chassis with four-cylinder, overhead valve 1,098cc engines sourced from Chapuis-Dornier. Competing with the likes of Amilcar and Salmson, Automobiles Derby exhibited a British bodied 9hp 'Sports' model at the 1923 Olympia Motor Show which was a direct descendant of their 9hp Racer that had competed in the Brooklands 200 mile race. Unfortunately, Derby failed to attract much interest at the show, but it would inspire the imagination of one Vernon Balls. Balls was a Gentleman motor racer who had trained as a motor engineer and made a name for himself by purchasing the remaining stock of Mors spares, and his business would handle all repairs and servicing for the firm right up until 1923. Later in that year, on a business trip to Paris, Balls purchased an Amilcar for sporting use and saw great potential in French cyclecars in British sporting events, and merely a few years later, his firm would become the main sales agent for Derby and market them under the name 'Vernon-Derby' from 1927. The 9hp Grand Sports Special was a slightly more updated version of the 9hp Sports Model, and featured more elegant bodystyling with louvred side-panels upon the chassis, wrap-around cycle wings and a four-speed gearbox in place of the earlier three-speed unit.Dated to 1926, little is known about the early life of chassis ‘GS 138’, but it managed to survive some fifty years before its discovery by the previous owner in France in a dilapidated state during the late 1970s. According to the vendor, the previous owner was a very good friend of his who was responsible for the restoration of several interesting pre-war sports cars; but was particularly fanatical about the Derby marque. The rare sports car is said to have been found to be remarkably complete despite having been disassembled, so the decision was made to perform a full restoration which would continue throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s. A chemical engineer by trade, the previous owner had nearly every steel part treated by dipping them in vats of Jenolite Rust Converter, a process that he had sworn by on previous restorations. After treatment, the chassis and body were prepared in Red Oxide and painted in its resplendent red by a professional coach working firm, which has survived in very fine form to this day, testament to the rust treating process that the restorer swore by.Mechanically, the Derby was treated to the same level of attention and a full overhaul was performed on the four-cylinder Chapuis Dornier engine, which was re-bored and fitted with new pistons whilst the crankshaft was re-ground and mounted within freshly white-metalled bearing shells. The cooling system was uprated with the addition of a water pump instead of the original thermo-syphon arrangement, which fed a freshly re-cored radiator. The gearbox, front axle and back axle were completely overhauled with new components made up where necessary and the electrics were also subject to attention, with a new wiring loom fitted to power the reconditioned lighting system and period gauges set into the dashboard. Finally, a complete replacement interior was constructed with a high-quality black leather used to trim the off-set seats which is pleasingly complimentary to the red panel work.Having completed the restoration, the Derby would remain in the previous owner’s possession up until 2019 as part of his private collection and was used sparingly whilst being maintained to a very high standard. The vendor, a long-term fan of pre-war cars and motorcycles himself would acquire it directly from the previous owner to join several interesting stablemates (including another Derby). Described by the present owner as having survived in ‘very good to excellent’ condition all round, old age has unfortunately now forced his hand with his decision to sell.A rarity on the open market, this Derby 9hp Gran Sport is fully registered for use in the UK and presents as an interesting alternative to better known French cyclecar brands for either competition use in the many events that it is eligible for, or perhaps it would make a very eye-catching talking point as part of a private collection.

Registration No: AGC 496 Chassis No: GAW 36 MOT: ExemptSupplied with a healthy history files with chassis cards, invoices for maintenance and moreDescribed as 'a well-maintained' example with matching chassis and engine numbersFeatured in Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club Magazine - 1978 and 1991Subject to an extensive engine overhaulThe Rolls-Royce 20/25 was built between 1929 and 1936 and succeeded the 20hp as Rolls-Royce's "small car". It was intended to appeal to owner drivers, but many were sold to customers with chauffeurs. The in-line 6-cylinder overhead valve engine was similar to that used in the 20hp but was enlarged to 3699cc by increasing the bore from 76mm to 82mm with the stroke remaining at 114mm. A single Rolls-Royce carburettor was used and both coil and magneto ignitions were fitted. The four-speed gearbox was mounted in unit with the engine and a traditional right hand change used. Synchromesh was fitted to third and top gears from 1932. The substantial chassis had rigid front and rear axles suspended by half elliptic springs with braking on all four wheels assisted by a mechanical servo. Separate rear brakes were fitted for the handbrake. The famous Rolls-Royce radiator with triangular top was used with vertical louvres, the angle of which could be adjusted to control engine cooling. To begin with, the radiator shutters were operated manually via a lever on the dash with later cars fitted with automatic control via a thermostat. The larger engine allowed the top speed to increase to but many owners had large limousine bodies fitted to the chassis with the predictable decline in performance. As far back as the 1880’s, Thrupp & Maberly began its move from making horse-drawn carriages to car bodies. By the spring of 1897, Thrupp & Maberly held the British licence for the Duryea Motor Wagon. More commissions followed and the business grew, leading to large numbers of bodies for staff cars being made during World War I. After the war, Thrupp & Maberly produced a range of bespoke bodies for up-market British and European marques and in 1924, they moved to new premises in Cricklewood, London, but kept a showroom in North Audley Street which in 1925, was bought by the Rootes brothers. Thrupp & Maberly remained a prestige coachbuilder, concentrating on luxury bodies for Rolls-Royce, Daimler and Bentley automobiles and in 1929, they built the body for Sir Henry Segrave's land speed record car, the Golden Arrow.Known as ‘Lady Primrose’, this is a 1932 Rolls Royce D-Back Limousine with coachwork by Thrupp & Maberly. A delightful example of early ‘30s luxury motoring it is said to have been 'well-maintained' with matching chassis and engine numbers. It has featured in the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club Magazine 1978 and 1991. Purchased by the current owner in 2021 it has since received an engine overhaul including new white-metal bearings and a balanced crankshaft assembly. A new aluminium cylinder head is also present, accompanying a recently rebuilt water pump and Calorstat. It also benefits from the addition of an over-drive fitted by Ben Smith Restorations. Ben Smith has looked after maintenance for many years and in this time has compiled several reports, including a large photo album of restoration.A regular participant of overseas trips, many with the RREC, before 1997 the Limousine resided on Guernsey. It was here that the Primrose Yellow coachwork was acquired, together with some additional restoration work also detailed in the file. The 'occasional seats' were also removed and a drinks cabinet fabricated, however, the seats are included in the sale. The interior is very tidy, with the fawn cloth to the rear seat and headlining in almost excellent condition. Sound deadening has also been added under the carpets. Tools also included are for the removal and refitting of the Ace wheel discs, the wheel hub spanner and jack. The large Lucas P100 head lamps with foot operated dipping solenoids are fitted and calibrated with modern improved halogen bulbs to aid night driving whilst the side lights use an MG B hazard repeater, utilising them as indicators, as well as the working trafficators. Floating along on soft suspension, this is a car to be used and enjoyed. Supplied with a V5C, a healthy history file – including journey logs, chassis cards, invoices for maintenance, extensive restoration and engine overhaul documentation, copies of the magazines in which it has featured and the 'occasional seats'.

Registration No: AVB 526 Chassis No: 2118337 MOT: ExemptSubject to much expense with marque specialists Royal KustomsUK manufactured and supplied right-hand drive exampleFitted with a new hood, electronic ignition and serviced in current ownershipCollection of invoices, V8 handbook, work manual and current V5CFord introduced the Model A as a replacement for its long-running Model T in 1928, but just four years later, the Model A itself was history. To upstage rival Chevrolet’s six-cylinder, Ford offered its first V8 engine in 1932. Though V8s were nothing new, this was the first time one was to be offered in a low-price, mass-produced car. Streamlined styling began in 1933, progressing even further with bodies that were longer and wider with new grilles and 17-inch wheels. The design, credited to Phil Wright at Briggs Body Company, is considered one of the most desirable standard production models of the 1930s by today’s collectors. The cast iron flathead V8 was tremendous value for money, offering 75hp from its 221cui displacement in 1933. The V8 engine proved so popular that Ford discontinued its four-cylinder engine in March of the 1934 model year and the powerplant, which would come to be known as simply the 'flathead' would serve as the basis for many hot rods for years to come.This 1935 Ford V8 Cabriolet is believed to have been first registered on 12th October 1935 and is a UK manufactured, right-hand drive example, that was built at Ford’s Dagenham factory. The Cabriolet features a rumble seat (dickey seat) design with a 4410cc flathead V8 allied to a 3-speed manual transmission. The flathead is running with Offenhauser heads and a Stromberg 97 carburettor.Subject to much expense with marque specialists Royal Kustoms of Poole, Dorset by the previous owner, 'AVB 526' has recently been fitted with a new hood at a cost of £1,750. Upgrades include electronic ignition, an electric fan, a new coil, a high compression/high torque starter, a re-cored radiator, an electric fuel pump, electronic ignition, electric wipers, spotlights and a rear fog light and modern indicators front and rear, although the semaphore indicators remain fitted.Maintenance has been carried out recently, with new tyres fitted in the last few years, attention being paid to the brakes, an oil change and 24 new studs on the heads in 2022 by Royal Kustoms. Serviced in current ownership, it is offered with a collection of invoices, a Ford V8 manual, workshop manual and the V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: DVU 709C Chassis No: 325000807 MOT: ExemptLong-term family ownership since 1993Successful 'club rally car' with awards on fileDesirable Series V modelFitted with performance upgradesAnnounced at the London Motor Show of 1955, the Sunbeam Rapier was the first of a new range of Rootes cars that was to include the Hillman Minx and the Singer Gazelle. A complete departure from the Sunbeam MKIII it replaced, it was a modern-looking two-door, four-seater Coupe with such standard equipment as leather trim and overdrive. The bodies were built by Pressed Steel, shipped to Thrupp & Maberly in London for painting and trimming, and then moved to the Rootes plant at Ryton-on-Dunsmore for final assembly. Though initially a little underpowered, the Rapier had inherently excellent handling and was quickly adopted for rallying. Indeed, the launch of the Series II version took place at the end of the 1958 Monte Carlo Rally in which Peter Harper's Works Rapier had finished fifth overall. Over its twenty-one year reign, the model progressed through five series, the swansong being the Series V derivative introduced in 1965. Though visually almost identical to its predecessor, it was notable for its larger, five-bearing engine of 1725cc capacity. Just 3,759 Series Vs were built, making it the rarest of all versions of the model.‘DVU 709C’ is a Desirable Series V 1725cc Rapier, originally registered in Manchester and finished in Autumn Gold with a contrasting Black interior. In current ownership since 1993 and subsequently prepared to be used as a ‘club rally car,’ being extensively campaigned by the vendor and his wife since, with many successes (evidenced in history file). Subject of restoration works over the years, including an engine rebuild, bodywork restoration and bare metal repaint, it’s been fitted with sensible ‘performance‘ upgrades including a Weber carburettor, brake servo, Kenlowe fan, roll cage, Lotus Cortina 5 1/2J steel wheels etc, in addition to ‘Halda’ timing equipment. The paperwork file includes a number of ‘rally’ awards, original Rootes warranty card and dealer’s handbook. The vendor describes ‘DVU 709C’ as ‘in good running order’ and says that he hopes the new owner will have as much enjoyment for years to come as both he and his wife have had over the last 30 years!PLEASE NOTE: Vehicle has recently been started and is reported to be running well but requires a new battery and possible a starter motor overhaul.

Registration No: LBJ 343K Chassis No: 90100184A MOT: ExemptAn early and desirable 2.2 Litre-engined Series IIIRestored and upgraded to a very high standardFinished in Marine BlueThe Land Rover Series III was a masterful facelift overseen by Range Rover designer David Bache of a product that continued to sell well across the world, despite increasingly tough opposition from a number of rivals, most notably Toyota. Series III improvements are easy to spot thanks to the headlamps being moved across to the front wings and an updated stylised plastic radiator grille. The updated and more safety conscious interior and all synchromesh gearbox acknowledged that the opposition was catching up, and the arrival of overdrive catered for those who needed their Land Rovers for serious on-road work. It was during the Series III production in 1979 that the Rover V8 engine (in low compression form) was added to the range. It was export-only at first, but came to the UK to pick up a small but loyal fan base.Consigned to us from a private collection, this extremely early 2.2 Litre example of the ‘Series 3’ has evidently been the subject of a comprehensive and professional restoration, with many tasteful and desirable upgrades incorporated. Riding on a galvanised chassis, with excellent straight panel work; the exterior is finished in striking ‘Marine Blue’ and complemented with white painted steel wheels. All galvanised components are finished in a matte Hammerite-style textured paint finish to give the correct, period appearance. The interior was upgraded with a set of high-quality ply door cards and floor boards, along with a rear deck area inscribed with the Land Rover motif, whilst contemporary ‘Exmoor Trim’ seats in black add some comfort and refinement over the originals. Highly practical and ready to use / enjoy, ‘LBJ 343K’ is offered with a canvas soft top that appears brand new and unused, painted side windows, hood sticks and even a tow bar, with electrics! Running and driving faultlessly on our recent photography session, ‘LBJ 343K’ is offered with a handbook, selection of old MOT certificates and a current UK V5C registration document listing just nine previous keepers over the past 53 years.

Registration No: P672 CCY Chassis No: YS3CH68M4V1002165 MOT: October 2025Desirable turbocharged Aero modelFitted with a new Turbo in 2022, less than 1,000 miles agoServiced annually by Saab main dealers (up to c.105,000 miles)Offered with history file including the book pack in a SAAB walletThe Saab 9000 is an executive car that was produced by the Swedish company from 1984 to 1998. Representing the company's foray into the executive car scene, it was developed as a result of the successes of the turbocharged 99 and 900 models. The 9000 remained in production until it was replaced by the Saab 9-5 in late 1997. Saab designed the 9000 as part of the Type Four platform in conjunction with the Italian carmaker Fiat who retailed similar derivative versions as the more basic Fiat Croma, the luxury-themed Lancia Thema and the sports-oriented Alfa Romeo 164. The front of the Saab is radically different from the Italian siblings due to the much-improved crash protection. The Aero offered an exclusive interior and exterior styling, featured a paint-matched body kit and spoiler, eight-way Recaro-designed heated sports seats, sports suspension and 16-inch Super Aero wheels, as well as being generously equipped. At the time of launch, the Aero was the fastest Saab to date. Manufactured in 1996, the 9000 offered was supplied new by Cardiff Saab being first registered in the United Kingdom on 19th September that year. A desirable Aero Turbo model with the 2,290cc straight-four 16v turbocharged engine allied to an automatic transmission, this example is finished in Dark Blue paintwork with a Grey leather interior and a wooden veneer dashboard. Offered having covered some 130,000 miles from new, the 9000 has had a modest six former keepers. Amassing the majority of its mileage during the early stages of its life, the Saab had covered 105,000 miles by 2007 and possesses an excellent service history, during this time being serviced at least annually between 1997 and 2007 with twelve services completed, all by main agents. Most recently serviced in 2022 at 129,000 miles, the 9000 is accompanied by the original book pack with a stamped service book and owner’s manual, as well as a current V5C document. Wearing its mileage very well, the 9000 ran and drove well during the recent photography session and is offered with a 'no advisory' MOT until October 2025.
