1991 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce S4 Transmission: automaticMileage:784The Spider designation for the open top sports cars originates from the word, speeder, and a two-person open horse carriage. The Alfa Romeo 105/115 Series Spider was produced from 1966 to 1993, remaining in production for almost three decades with only minor aesthetic and mechanical changes. Widely regarded as a design classic, this fourth series version of production came with further mechanical and cosmetic changes. Mechanical changes saw the introduction of the Bosch Motronic electronic fuel injection with an electric fan and cosmetically, losing its front under bumper spoiler and the rear boot spoiler picking up 164-style rear lights stretching across the width of the car together with colour coordinated plastic bumpers.This lovely right hand drive example is presented in dark green with beige leather/alcantara interior and its black hood is also in very good condition. Its lively 2.0 litre four-cylinder engine is mated to an automatic gearbox and the owner has had the wheels refurbished with new wheel centres and it also comes with power assisted steering. Within the substantial history file, it is documented that the speedometer was changed at 10,602 miles and once again at 34,000 miles. As well as various invoices and old MoT test certificates, it comes with its service/maintenance schedule booklets within its original Alfa Romeo wallet. Offered at no reserve, this sharp looking classic Alfa Romeo represents fantastic value for money. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2016 Piaggio Ape TM Transmission: automaticMileage:205The Piaggio Ape is a three-wheeled light commercial vehicle, manufactured and marketed by Piaggio as an adaption of the company's Vespa scooter. It has been in continuous production since its 1948 introduction and offered in numerous body configurations to serve a wide range of utilitarian functions.Initially marketed as the VespaCar or TriVespa, Piaggio subsequently marketed the utility vehicle as the Ape, derived from the Italian for bee; its scooter marketed as the Vespa, meaning wasp. Currently two model ranges are offered, the Ape 50 with a 49.8 cc petrol engine and the larger Ape TM which comes available with a 218cc petrol engine or a 422cc diesel engine. This particular example is the TM model which is powered by the larger 218cc engine and is presented in white with a cream interior. The doors are canvas and the roof is white canvas providing some protection to the elements but ultimately providing a lot of enjoyment to anyone travelling in it. The present owner has used this TM sparingly to go the pub in or to take his grandchildren around the garden in it for fun rides. Either way, this is something which will bring a smile to anyone’s face, it has only covered a mere 205 miles from new and comes with a V5 registration document and a current MoT test certificate which expires in February 2022 – great!Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1999 Volvo S90 Royal Long Wheelbase Transmission: automaticMileage:51500The Volvo 900 Series is a range of executive cars produced by the Swedish manufacturer Volvo Cars from 1990 to 1999. The 900 Series was introduced in 1990 to replace the 700 Series from which it derived. Prior to the end of its production, the 960 was renamed as the Volvo S90 (saloon) and Volvo V90 (estate), and the 940 was renamed 940 Classic, becoming the last rear wheel drive cars from Volvo. In 1994 for the 1995 model year the 960 received a facelift, including changes to the grille and body-coloured panels. A smaller 2.5 version of the six-cylinder was also added to the line-up, with 170 or 163bhp for the B6244FS version.The S90 Executive Royal featured a longer wheelbase and a centre console for the rear passengers, it is believed that 1100 were coachbuilt by the Volvo factory, 15cm longer than the standard model and with the 2.9 litre engine coupled to a smooth automatic gearbox and 17” Volvo Canopus wheels.This extremely well presented S90 Royal is offered in near unmarked silver coachwork with beige leather trim which has clearly had a very easy life, barely showing the 51,000 miles for which it has been sat in. Imported back from Japan in 2020, this was defined as a grade four example upon export and is indeed in impressive order. These cars were coachbuilt as a long wheelbase option and are as rare as hens’ teeth. This example boasts an MoT test certificate until August 2021, a UK V5 registration document and we are led to believe this may have been a diplomatic vehicle when in Japan. Built to last, in fabulous condition and good enough for diplomats, this is an ultra-rare example of the Volvo S90.Guide Price £6,000 - £10,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1959 Rover P4 75 Mk. II Transmission: manualMileage:24636Announced by Managing Director Spencer Wilks on 23 September 1949 the new Rover 75 was first displayed at the opening day of the Earls Court Motor Show on 28 September 1949. It featured unusual modern styling in stark contrast with the outdated Rover 75 (P3) it replaced. Gone were the traditional radiator, separate headlights and external running boards. In their place were a chromium plated grille, recessed headlights and a streamlined body the whole width of the chassis. The car's styling was derived from the then controversial 1947 Studebakers. The cars had a separate chassis with independent suspension using coil springs at the front and a live axle with half-elliptical leaf springs at the rear. The brakes on early cars were operated by a hybrid hydro-mechanical system but became fully hydraulic in 1950. Girling disc brakes replaced drums at the front from October 1959. Power came from a more powerful version of the previous model's 210 cc Rover IOE straight-6 engine now with chromium-plated cylinder bores, an aluminium cylinder head with built-in induction manifold and a pair of horizontal instead of downdraught carburettors. A four-speed manual transmission was used with a column-mounted gear lever which was replaced by a floor-mounted mechanism in September 1953. Dubbed as the poor man’s Rolls-Royce by the contemporary press, it was progressively restyled and remained in production until 1959.This Mk. II Rover P4 was originally purchased in Essex where it remained until 2018. In 2004 the car was placed into storage until 2012 when it was recommissioned and given an MoT. Between coming out of storage and being sold in 2018 the car was repainted. It was purchased by a specialist film and television vehicle hire company to be used as one of the principal villain’s cars in the DC Comics series ‘Pennyworth’. Before going on set the car was fully checked through, new tyres fitted and the front seat retrimmed. Finished in black with red interior, this Rover P4 is supplied with a UK V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in November 2021 and a file containing the old buff log book, old MoT test certificates up to 2003 and some invoices. It has been reported by the owner’s mechanic that it runs and drives very well as you would except from a car used in films and television where reliability is paramount.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1964 Triumph 5TA Transmission: manualMileage:18962The Speed Twin 5T was made by Triumph at their Coventry and, later, Meriden factories. Edward Turner, Triumph’s Chief Designer and Managing Director, launched the Triumph Speed Twin at the 1937 National Motorcycle Show. It was a 500cc OHV vertical twin in a lightweight frame and the first truly successful British parallel twin, setting the standard for many twins to follow. After World War II the Speed Twin was responsible for the survival of Triumph and every major British marque offered a 500cc twin designed on similar lines to the Speed Twin. Further development led to the 1959 model 5TA with a unit engine and gearbox construction and styling changes including the unpopular 'Bathtub' fairing which became more and more abbreviated as the model developed before disappearing altogether for the last year of production in 1966.Benefitting recently from fresh paintwork, this fine example is presented in the superb colour combination of light green and silver tank which perfectly complement this Triumph's image. Over recent years this 500cc 5TA has had a full rebuild and is described as in good running order; however, some fine fettling still may be required to improve its reliability on the road having not had much use since completion including the clutch benefitting from minor attention and a small oil leak from the rear pushrod covers. We are informed the engine and the gear box perform well and it is described as a generally well sorted example. Whilst rebuilt as a 5TA this Triumph has had panels replaced and an alternative seat fitted to move it away from the original bathtub rear; however, as a number matching example, at the heart of it, it still retains its originality whilst being tastefully altered. Offered with the UK V5C registration document and presented today as a fine-looking Triumph, this is a very usable classic that would be great for ride-outs in the summer!Guide Price £5,000 - £7,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1957 Triumph TR3A Transmission: manualMileage:15350‘Honest John’ correctly noted that the TR line was ‘all about evolution and refining of the breed’. So, although there was very little to distinguish the TR3 from the TR2, it was usefully improved. Behind the new egg-crate grille covering the radiator-cooling intake was a more powerful engine thanks to its bigger SU carburettors. Furthermore, in 1956, the main development came when it became the first British car to be fitted with disc brakes, made by Girling, as standard. Visually, the TR3A, as it became known, had a widened grille, external door handles and a toolkit.Sales of the TR3 picked up as a result of the improvements and the USA became an important export market. Indeed, this example, originally an Arizona car, was imported back home in 1999 and converted to righthand drive. It has remained in the vendors ownership since 2013 and had over £20,000 spent to bring it up to the quality expected of its new custodian. All bills and invoices are available since then with MoT test certificates dating back to 2004. Over £10,000 was spent in late 2018 replacing and repairing sills, lower front wings and rear threequarters followed by a photographic bare metal respray of these areas by Triumph specialists. In addition, an unleaded and alternator conversion has taken place with a new wiring loom and rack & pinion conversion in mid-2013. Finally, in a nod to modern motoring, a new cooling system hoses and Kenlowe fan have been installed. It should be noted however, that time does not stand still and various ongoing repairs will be required to both bodywork and trim. Complete with wire wheels, this sharp-looking TR3A is both quick and of good quality. Early registration is recommended. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2011 Land Rover Defender 90 Hardtop Transmission: manualMileage:98724The Land Rover Defender was launched in 1948 and, incredibly, production only finished in January 2016 after a continuous run of 67 years. Outwardly, there is little to distinguish the post-1983 vehicles from the Series III Land Rover. A full-length bonnet, revised grille, plus the fitting of wheel arch extensions to cover wider-track axles are the most noticeable changes. Internally, coil springs offered a more comfortable ride and a permanent four-wheel drive system derived from the Range Rover featuring a two-speed transfer gearbox with a lockable centre differential. A modernised interior and a new series of progressively more powerful and modern engine characterised things under the skin.This handsome and practical hardtop version of the iconic four-wheel drive utility vehicle is fitted an impressive list of equipment. This includes front and rear lamp guards, a ‘snorkel’ air intake, a roof rack, a multi-height towbar and side steps. This iconic Land Rover presents well in grey metallic and has been trimmed with diamond stitched leather to the seats and cubby box lid. The look is enhanced with black alloy wheels and black chequer plating to the bonnet and sides of the car. The practicality of this Land Rover is increased with the fitting of rear inward facing benches. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate, this is a great opportunity to purchase a piece of automotive history.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC Transmission: automaticMileage:72938The R107 and C107 took the chassis components of the mid-size Mercedes-Benz W114 model and mated them to the larger engines from the W116 S-Class. The SL version was a two-seat roadster with standard soft top and hardtop with optional folding seats for the rear bench. The SLC (C107) derivative was a two-door hardtop coupé with normal rear seats. The SLC is commonly referred to as an SL coupé, but in reality it was an S-Class coupé, replacing the former saloon-based 280/300 SE coupé in the Mercedes-Benz line-up. Volume production of the first R107 car, the 350 SL, started in April 1971 alongside the last of the W113 cars; the 350 SLC followed in October. Sales in North America began in 1972, with the name 350 SL, but with a larger 4.5 litre V8 engine and were renamed 450 SL/SLC for model year 1973; the big V8 engine became available in other markets with the official introduction of the 450 SL/SLC in March 1973. US cars sold from 1972 until 1975. From July 1974 both SL and SLC could also be ordered with a fuel-injected 2.8 litre straight-six as 280 SL and SLC. September 1977 saw the introduction of the 450 SLC five litre featuring a new all-aluminium five-litre V8 engine, aluminium alloy doors, bonnet and boot lid and a black rubber rear spoiler.These handsome C107 coupés are becoming quite rare in such condition. Well presented in silver with a superb Olive Green velour interior, this example has had just five owners. The current vendor reports that the paintwork is in largely very good condition with just a few minor blemishes as is the interior which is very good for its age. Offered with a sizeable history file detailing previous maintenance work and MoT tests certificates, the Mercedes-Benz service booklet and the UK registration document. With all the qualities of the convertible R107 and two extra seats these SLCs are really starting to come of age. This wonderful example is in very good order and is imminently usable for the new owner.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1974 Rover P6 3500 Transmission: automaticMileage:15807The P6 was announced on 9th October 1963, just before the Earls Court Motor Show. The vehicle was marketed first as the Rover 2000 and was a complete ‘clean sheet’ design intended to appeal to a larger number of buyers than earlier models such as the P4 it replaced. The 3500 was introduced in April 1968 (one year after the Rover company was purchased by Triumph's owner, Leyland) and continued to be offered until 1977. The manufacturer asserted that the light metal V8 engine weighed the same as the four-cylinder unit of the Rover 2000, and the more powerful car's maximum speed of 114mph as well as its 10.5 second acceleration time from 0-60 mph were considered impressive, and usefully faster than most of the cars of this price and specifications. In comparison, tested by Motor magazine in the issue published on 20th April 1968, it achieved a maximum speed of 117mph, 0-60 mph in 9.5 seconds, with a standing quarter mile in 17.6 seconds.This Rover 3500 was originally registered in January 1974 and presents in blue with a black interior. The car still displays a Broadway Autos of Cricklewood dealer sticker. Although the engine has not been started for a while however it can be turned over by hand. This automatic example of the biggest engine version of the P6 is offered without reserve. It would be lovely to see this Rover back on the road. SEC 698M is an ideal restoration project that could prove extremely rewarding.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1984 Alfa Romeo Alfasud Transmission: manualMileage:64420When it went on sale in 1972, after first being launched the previous year at the Turin Motor Show, the Alfasud rewrote the book. Given that Alfa Romeo had no experience of small front-wheel drive cars, the sheer dynamic excellence of the flat-four powered Sud came as a shock, leaving the opposition grasping at straws in order to catch up. In 1976, Alfa Romeo trumped the standard Sud by reworking it into a gorgeous hatchback and the results were predictably fantastic. Styling was handled by Giugiaro who, of course, had penned Alfa Romeo's most praised design, the 105 Series and, who at the time was probably the best designer in the world in terms of drawing cars that were simply 'beautiful'. The Sprint, in many people's eyes, eclipsed the already desirable Alfetta GTV.This Alfasud was originally sold by Amersham Motors Ltd on 14th April 1984 and is finished in Avorio (Ivory) with beige velour trim. Starting life as a 1.3 SC example, this Alfa Romeo benefits from a 1.5Ti engine upgrade together with Ti trim alterations. A comprehensive history folder accompanies this pretty five-door hatchback with receipts and MoT test certificates dating back to the point of registration and confirming the mileage of 64,420 to be correct. The original service books together with the handbooks are present. In 2001, with an odometer reading of 62,741, the car was put into storage; she was recommissioned in 2018 with the odometer being 62,982 at the point of the MoT test. Showing no signs of any accident damage or corrosion, this Alfasud appears to have completely original paintwork and is a very sound, solid example. Last serviced by Thorobred Cars in Laleham in February 2021, a complete set of Goodyear tyres were fitted at the same time. This Alfa Romeo Alfasud is supplied with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until 7th February 2021 with no advisories.Guide price £6,000-£8,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1931 Standard Nine Transmission: manualMileage:2989The Standard Motor Company was founded on 2nd March 1903 by R. W. Maudslay. He was a civil engineer by profession but realised the enormous potential of the horseless carriage and became a motor manufacturer, establishing a small factory in Coventry. He employed seven people to assemble the first car powered by a single-cylinder engine with three-speed gearbox and shaft drive to the rear wheels. By the end of 1903 three cars had been built and the labour force had been increased to twenty five. The increased labour force produced a car every three weeks during 1904. In 1914 Standard became a public company.This Standard Nine is a charming example of the marque. Originally registered in May 1931 this delightful little car runs and looks well in black. Swing open the ‘suicide’ doors to reveal a newly trimmed red interior. The appearance is enhanced with red spoked wheels with a spare externally mounted to the rear. The Lucas dashboard dials appear original as does the temperature gauge bonnet mascot. This Standard Nine is offered to auction without reserve. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1964 Jaguar Mk. II (3.4 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:73383The lineage of the Mk. II can be directly traced back to its predecessor, the 2.4 saloon or Mk. I as it would be retrospectively known in later years. Traditional Jaguar buyers would not feel alienated by the new offering from Coventry as the interior was up to their usual standards with leather and walnut being the order of the day. With 112bhp available, the 2.4 was not overly burdened with pace, so Jaguar's response was to come in the shape of a 3.4 litre version which was launched in 1957. As a result, 120mph was a genuinely achievable pace, necessitating the introduction of disc brakes a year later to keep speeds in check. Rather than introduce a completely brand new car, Jaguar successfully re-designed the car from stem to stern and the Mk. II was born, debuting in 1959. The chunky windscreen pillars of the early car were replaced by slimmer offerings giving a much more airy cabin which both improved the styling and freshened up the design for the new decade.This delightful Jaguar was originally registered on 10th June 1964 and has stood the test of time. A restoration was carried out circa 12 years ago and she still presents very well. The paintwork is in good order and the red interior appears to be largely original with a fine patina. Turn the ignition on, press the starter button and this Mk. II fired into life immediately, the engine runs well with good oil pressure. We are advised by the vendor that she drives well on the open road. These manual gearbox with overdrive cars can certainly be good fun to drive and the 3442cc engine is responsive and offers brisk performance. Sitting proudly on wire wheels and with the Coombes style rear spats this is certainly a handsome Jaguar, these stylish cars of the 60s always attract interest for their looks and performance. Supplied with a V5C registration document this Mk. II 3.4 can certainly be described as an iconic car of the period.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1966 Triumph Spitfire 4 Mk. II Transmission: manualMileage:35166The young Italian stylist, Giovanni Michelotti, was introduced to Standard Triumph by Captain Raymond Flowers; not only because of his ability to style, but to build prototype models also. Several projects were undertaken with the most significant being the prototype bomb that morphed into the Triumph Spitfire in 1962. The Triumph Spitfire 4 Mk. II had a little more power over the earlier, retrospectively named, Mk. I Spitfire sibling; a further, but modest, 4bhp according to factory records. There was also rather more refinement in the interior fittings. With a fully opening front end, servicing was a delight and today, these British sports cars are well catered for by several specialists throughout the UK. This lovely Triumph Spitfire, first registered in the UK during 1966, is presented with white coachwork and contrasting black trim. What sets this car apart from many contemporary examples is its overall condition, especially upon the undersides that, on inspection, look factory fresh with no evidence of repairs and no doubt aided by the wax protection that has been applied.  The panel gaps are very good and new bumper brightwork front and rear really sets the car off. On opening the doors, the trim work presents very well, all being in excellent order and very inviting.  Mechanically, this Spitfire is in very good condition; the engine starts easily with a little choke and, we are informed, drives well. Importantly, Halogen headlights, as well as five new Firestone tyres, not only aide night driving and handling but are important safety factors also. The car comes with its factory steel hardtop, soft top and frame and a history file that contains the UK V5C registration document and, although exempt, a valid MoT test certificate.These early Mk. I and Mk. II models are quite scarce on the roads these days and, with their Italian designed flare, are considered the purest and prettiest of the range that spanned from 1962 to 1980. The mileage of 35,166 recorded is believed genuine considering the condition of the undersides, including the chassis, and a number of old MoT test certificates on file. With a competitive estimate, this Triumph Spitfire should reward its new owner with many hours of driving fun and ideal timing with the spring and summer nearly upon us.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1973 Jensen Interceptor Mk. III Transmission: automaticMileage:61696With the Interceptor’s introduction in 1967, Jensen switched from glass fibre to steel for its car bodies. Underneath, the preceding C-V8’s chassis, running gear and 6,276cc Chrysler engine remained substantially unchanged. With around 280bhp on tap, performance was more than adequate, The Motor magazine recorded a top speed of 140mph with 100mph arriving in 19 seconds. Leather upholstery, reclining front seats and walnut veneer were all standard features, while automatic transmission was the choice of almost all the buyers. The Series II incorporated revised front suspension, Girling brakes and redesigned interior, while the Series III, introduced in 1971, came with a 7.2 litre engine, better seats, central locking and alloy wheels. For 1974 Jensen adopted an improved, 330bhp version of the 7.2 litre Chrysler V8 on the ‘J Series’ Mk. III, which also gained all the equipment, including air conditioning, that had been standard issue on the now discontinued Interceptor SP. The major development that year was the introduction of the convertible, which in turn would inspire Jensen’s final variation on the Interceptor theme: The Coupé.This good 1973 Jensen Interceptor III was subject to a restoration sometime in the 1980’s when the colour was changed from black to the current colour of blue. The current owner purchased this car in 2009 from Jensen specialist, Cropredy Bridge Garage and at that time had fitted 17” alloy wheels, new walnut veneers and a high output alternator. In 2010, in preparation for a trip to the Le Mans Classic the following work was carried out, new big end bearings, new water pump, new starter motor, new power steering pump and a superpack radiator with high output fans. Later, in 2010, further work was carried out including new head gaskets, both exhaust manifolds refaced and refitted, new spark plug leads, rear exhaust silencers replaced, new starter solenoid and a reconditioned steering rack. The MoT test certificate in December 2010 shows the mileage to be 56,855 miles. In 2011, the carburettor was rebuilt, new oil pressure sender and electric window gears were fitted. Finished in blue with beige leather interior, this Interceptor III is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate, the original Jensen build sheets and a list of owners from DVLA. Also supplied with the car are new spares which are; door, bonnet and boot seals, new front seat cushions, new beige Wilton carpet set and a beige handbrake gator.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1961 Bedford J.O. Pick-Up Transmission: automaticMileage:Bedford Vehicles, usually shortened to just Bedford, was produced by Vauxhall Motors which was ultimately owned by General Motors. Established in 1930 and constructing commercial vehicles, Bedford Vehicles was a leading international truck brand, with substantial export sales of light, medium, and heavy trucks throughout the world. It was GM Europe's most profitable venture for several years. Perhaps the major event of the 1950's was the transfer of all non-car based commercial vehicle manufacture to the former Vauxhall shadow factory at Boscombe Road, Dunstable. Bedford's Dunstable plant, dating originally from 1942, was extensively rebuilt and extended between 1955 and 1957 when all production lines were said to be over a mile long. Subsequently, all commercial vehicle manufacture would be concentrated here with only vans and car based commercials remaining at the Luton plant. The Bedford TJ was first manufactured in 1958 and was an updated version of the TD range. The TJ was available in the United Kingdom up until 1975, after 1975 it was manufactured only for export. Production continued until 1986, after that it was manufactured by AWD into the early 1990s. Petrol and diesel engines were available; the lightest (J.O. designation) could be specified with the 2.6 litre straight six petrol engine from the Vauxhall Cresta. TJs were not large sellers within the UK, it is thought some 5,000 J.0.'s were manufactured with a mere 20 remaining in the UK.This fantastic example of this rare ‘commercial’ vehicle has just been the subject of a full frame off, nut and bolt restoration costing an eye watering £75,000 of which £15,000 was spent on the paint job alone! Being the 10th off the production line, with paperwork authenticating, this makes this particular pick-up very desirable and probably one of the finest and oldest on the market today. The exterior colours of metallic red with red/beige interior are just two of the vehicle’s highlights. It really does have to be seen to be appreciated.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2003 Porsche 911 / 996 Targa Transmission: manualMileage:107080The 996 is the internal designation for the Porsche 911 model; it was manufactured and sold between 1998 and 2005. On its debut, the 996 featured the most significant changes to the Carrera model since its 1963 introduction, namely the water-cooled engine replacing the previously air-cooled unit. Other changes included a sleeker body with a more steeply raked windshield and a re-designed interior. The performance characteristics remained superb with reliability at its core.Originally registered in April 2003, this 996 Targa presents well in black with a grey interior. The glass Targa roof is superb design, offering, ‘wind in the hair’ motoring at the touch of a button. The specification of this Porsche includes electric front seats, traction control and C.D player. We are informed by the engineer vendor that this well-maintained car is a joy to drive and that the manual transmission is both responsive and engaging. This sleek sportscar has recently benefitted from four new tyres and a £2,658.00 service at R&D Automotive. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until January 2022, this is a splendid example of a highly desirable Porsche.Interested parties should note that the Targa roof on this vehicle is not working.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2006 Caterham SV Roadsport Transmission: manualMileage:5397Caterham Cars is a manufacturer of specialist lightweight sports cars and is a direct evolution of the Series III Lotus Seven designed by Colin Chapman originally launched in 1973. Caterham had been a major Lotus Seven dealer during the 1960's and its founder, Graham Nearn, purchased the rights to continue manufacture of the Seven design after Lotus announced its intention to discontinue the model. The Lotus/Caterham Seven is widely regarded by car enthusiasts and the media as one of the most precise handling sports cars ever, with 2007 marking the 50th year of continuous production. As with its Lotus Seven predecessor, Caterhams are constructed of aluminium sheet attached to a tubular steel chassis and all are front engined with rear-wheel drive and two seats. Their extremely high performance is achieved through being lightweight and well balanced rather than from having particularly powerful engines.Ordered in March 2006 and first registered that June, this beautiful Caterham Seven offers a perfect compromise of performance and practicality. The SV Roadsport sporting the wider chassis makes for a much more comfortable experience, especially on longer journeys. With this in mind the car was specified new not only as an SV, but also with leather adjustable seats, both inertia and 4-point harness seatbelts, a heater, side screen arm rests and a quick release leather steering wheel. Other practical options include a rear roll cage, spare wheel, cigar lighter, starter button, tonneau cover, full weather equipment, five-speed gearbox and unusually, an uprated 1.8 litres X-Power engine with an additional 20 HP pushing power output to 140 HP. The vendor reports that this factory built example drives superbly and is a reluctant sale. The specification of this lovely little Caterham lends itself perfectly to day trips as well as tours and trackdays, performing equally well for each function.Supplied with the car’s original order sheet and factory correspondence, original book pack, a V5C registration document, previous MoT test certificates, many receipts and two keys. This Seven offers huge fun whilst keeping practicality in mind. You would certainly be hard pushed to find a better presented and useable example of this Chapman design classic.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2003 Porsche 911 / 996 Turbo Transmission: automaticMileage:52298The 996 model is a superb car, quick, reliable, well-made and represented the birth of the water-cooled 911. With a wide range of models on offer, the most iconic is, of course, the Turbo. Featuring four-wheel drive and a 3.6 litre, intercooled engine derived from the 1998 Le Mans winning GT-1 car pushing out 420bhp and hitting 60mph in a whisker over four seconds, this is genuine supercar territory. The 996 was seen as a more relaxed and usable 911; however, in Turbo guise, the driver would get the best of both worlds; a luxury leather interior with every creature comfort combined with the ability to drop the hammer and reach a top speed of a claimed 190mph. Performance can be described as ballistic when behind the wheel of a Turbo. However, despite this mileage on early cars can swiftly reach into six figures, resulting in lower mileage models becoming quite the find for any collector or enthusiast. With just a little over 52,000 miles, our example is beautifully presented in metallic silver with black leather trim and has clearly had a pampered life. The paintwork is in lovely order and the leather is in beautiful condition. We are informed that all electrics operate as they should and the gear-change through the five-speed tiptronic gearbox is faultless. Under the wide arches sit standard and iconic turbo alloy wheels, as new with Pirelli P-Zero tyres all round and to the front the brake disc and pads were replaced just 1,500 miles ago. Included in the history file is a comprehensive service book showing stamps from five Porsche main dealers with specialists taking over annually from 2009 to 2014, before returning to the Porsche dealer network at just over 45,000 miles. Three recent services have been undertaken by specialists, one in 2017, another in January 2019 and January 2020 with a further service in January of this year, as such this car presents as a real 'get in and drive' example. Accompanying the car are all of the manuals contained within the leather pouch and an MoT test certificate valid until February 2022 and two keys. This is a superb example of an ever popular 911 in such fabulous condition that viewing is highly recommended especially with its very attractive estimate.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1997 Range Rover SE (4.0 litre) Transmission: automaticMileage:64750The second-generation Range Rover, designation P38, was introduced for the 1995 model year with an updated version of the Rover V8 engine. The new model offered more equipment and premium trims, positioning the vehicle above the Land Rover Discovery in the face of ever-increasing competition in the SUV marketplace, where the Range Rover held the mantle of being the luxury segment bench-mark product. This was the last of the Range Rovers to feature the refined Connolly leather interiors.Handsomely presented in Epsom Green with Dove Grey Connolly leather upholstery, our car was understood to have been one of Land Rover's publicity vehicles retained at Gaydon. It is also known to have featured prominently in the Ruth Rendell Mysteries. For nearly 20 years afterwards, the car was in the possession of one family before coming to its current registered keeper in Weybridge, during 2020. Entered privately by the lady owner, the car presents magnificently and is reported as entirely reliable and a pleasure to drive. Indeed, the original carpets and leather upholstery are hard to fault. Beyond the fitment of side-steps, the car is unmodified and largely original all the way down to the standard specification 16 'Mondial' style alloys. Supplied with a V5 registration document, current MoT test certificate, two keys and full Range Rover document wallet (including service booklet showing 14 stamped entries), this gently used and fastidiously maintained Range Rover, with interesting history, is something any enthusiast would be proud to own.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1959 Jaguar Mk. II (3.4 M/OD) Transmission: manualMileage:79938Synonymous with the swinging `60s and the hit TV Series Inspector Morse, the Mk. II was undoubtedly the most admired saloon to emanate from Jaguar's hallowed Browns Lane factory. These cars punched well above their weight. Equipped with either a 3.4 litre or 3.8 engine, the Jaguar was capable of sprinting to 60mph in as little as 8.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 125mph.This lovely 3.4 manual with overdrive example of a Jaguar Mk. II is an, all English, matching numbers example supplied with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate. Originally presented in Pearl Grey with red trim, this car was dispatched to H.A. Browett & Co in Leicester on 20th October 1959 before being registered to its first owner, a Mr. Bieshuvel of Blaby, Leicestershire. Boasting large amounts of expenditure, in 1998 the car was sent to Ridgeway Sportscars who prepared the car for the Monte Carlo challenge, upgrading certain parts of the suspension at a cost of £4,330.93. Found within the comprehensive history file are details of a full bare metal restoration, photographs and a breakdown of costs totalling £23,396.85 and, from 1991 through to 2001 restoration work with A.M. Services totalling £5,407.47 and works at Flowers Jaguar interiors costing £2,905.48.Since 2001, the car changed owners and was again repainted to the owner’s preference of red coachwork. We are informed that, in 2007, an engine rebuild was completed and a 4.2 straight port cylinder head fitted with reworked fancy cams and twin two-inch SU carburettors. A louvered bonnet was fitted and the interior benefitted from new carpets. Having been passed from one Jaguar enthusiast to another which can be found from membership applications, this car is offered with its Jaguar Heritage Production Record Trace Certificate, an original Jaguar sales and service booklet, operating and maintenance service handbook and a UK V5 registration certificate. We certainly recommend viewing of this lovely example of a Jaguar Mk. II boasting performance upgrades.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2004 Maserati 4200 Cambiocorsa Coupé Transmission: automaticMileage:80039The Maserati 4200 is an evolution from the previous model 3200 and also a reference to the increase in engine size from 3.2 to 4.2 litres. The Spyder was first unveiled to the public at the 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show with the Coupé's debut following shortly after at the 2002 Detroit Motor Show. Both cars were designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign and were a true four-seater capable of comfortably seating two adults in the back. The naturally aspirated V8 engine was based on a Ferrari unit producing 385hp at 7000rpm; the gearbox is a six-speed unit that was available either as a GT (manual) or CC (Cambiocorsa) using paddle shifters. The Cambiocorsa ('race change' in Italian) is an electro-hydraulic manual transmission that uses a Formula 1 type gearbox with hydraulic operation and electronic management operated by F1-style paddles behind the steering wheel. The gearbox is located at the back of the car with the rear differential giving equal weight distribution between the front and rear of the car and providing better road holding.This stunning example presents extremely well in gleaming black paintwork with a black leather interior. The look is enhanced with grey alloy wheels and red brake calipers. When requested the V8 engine roared into life and we are told the car is a pleasure to drive. The tremendous condition of the car is complemented by a good service history with the majority of the works being completed by either Maserati franchised garages or marque specialists. The most recent service was completed 1,100 miles ago and this Italian thoroughbred has also benefitted from a new clutch. Offered to auction with two sets of keys, a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until 25th November 2021, this extremely reasonably priced Maserati should generate much interest.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1968 Mini Cooper S Mk. I (1275cc) Transmission: manualMileage:3827The notion that the Mini might have a future as anything other than basic transport was an anathema; the idea of a high-performance version was laughable. One man though, saw it quite differently. Racing car manufacturer John Cooper already knew quite a bit about tuning BMC's A-Series engine, he was running the company's Formula Junior effort at the time and a test drive in a prototype Mini convinced him of the car's competition potential. The Mini Cooper soon established its credentials as a rally and race winner and the stage was set for even faster versions. The first of these, the 1071cc Mini Cooper 'S' of 1963, took engine development a stage further and provided the basis for the 971 'S' and 1275 'S' of 1964.Originally registered on 29th January 1968, this delightful Mini is finished in the great colour combination of Old English White with a black roof and the traditional grey/red interior. This Cooper S is in very good order showing no signs of corrosion. Invoices totalling over £20,000 worth of restoration work confirm this is a car that has been lovingly cherished. Lift the carpets and the floors are very solid, open the boot and she is nice and neat and tidy. Start the engine on this Mini and there are no adverse noises, rattles or smoke, she runs very well. Out on the road, this genuine UK right hand drive Mini Cooper S drives exactly as she should, with brisk performance and excellent road holding. Supplied with a V5C registration document together with a Heritage Certificate, 20 previous MoT’s and a host of invoices.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1974 Mercedes-Benz 230 Limousine Transmission: automaticMileage:63000The name Limousine or Limo, as they are popularly known, originated from the Limousin region in central France from a type of hood worn by the population that resembled the covering for a carriage. Later, it was known as the cover for the driver on an automobile, while today, it is known as a luxury vehicle that has a longer frame and wheelbase to accommodate more space behind the driver, at times more than is needed. There are also models that are stretched to accommodate further passengers and include a further seating arrangement behind the driver. These seats face forward and may be folded in the down (and out of the way) position. In general limousines have either six or eight seats - the Mercedes-Benz 230 being one of these. The W114/W115 models were the first post-war Mercedes-Benz production car to use a newly engineered chassis, not derived from preceding models. The new chassis format of semi-trailing rear arms and balljoint front end would be used in all new Mercedes passenger car models until the development of the multi-link rear suspensions of the 1980’s.Originally registered on 1st May 1974, this W114 Limousine is finished in white with tan leather interior. The bodywork is in reasonable order, the interior, finished in tan leather, is particularly smart but for a tear in the driver’s seat. The middle (jump) seat folds away easily to leave enormous legroom for the rear passengers. Owned as part of a private collection, the car has been continually maintained and dry stored when not in use and subject to a recent engine rebuild with the power is delivered by the 2292cc six-cylinder petrol engine. This 230 Limousine is offered for sale with a V5C registration document and we think given recent W114 limousine prices achieved by Historics, very good value indeed.Guide £6,000 - £11,000 Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1961 Triumph TR4 Transmission: manualMileage:76185Produced between 1961 and 1967, the TR4 combined a new, modern and aggressive body design by famed Italian stylist, Giovanni Michelotti with the basic chassis of the previous TR3A. The TR4 also improved passenger comfort with wind-up windows, face-level ventilation and an optional hardtop. The 2138cc engine of the late production TR3A continued while the 1991cc engine was also made available to buyers who wanted to participate in two litre racing. When equipped with the optional overdrive, the TR4 was good for a top speed of almost 110mph. Today, the four-cylinder TR's are among the easiest of post-war classic sports cars to own and maintain being supported by a multitude of component suppliers and other specialists.This TR4 was one of the many exported to the US and was repatriated to the UK in 2016. Clearly she has benefitted from time and investment as this example presents in good order and is in the lovely colour combination of red with black interior. Still in left hand drive guise, this Triumph sits proudly on Minilite wheels. We are advised she drives well with no known faults. Supplied with a V5C registration document, this stylish Triumph TR4 is a sure way to enjoy the summer months ahead.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2013 Jaguar XF Sportbrake Transmission: automaticMileage:82894The XF is a rear-wheel-drive executive car that was manufactured by Jaguar Cars at their Castle Bromwich assembly plant in Birmingham and was a replacement for the aging S-Type. Having been designed by Jaguar’s design director Ian Callum, the car was launched at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, with deliveries to customers commencing in March 2008. The XF was launched with a variety of trims called, depending on country, 'SE', 'Luxury', 'Premium Luxury', 'Portfolio', 'SV8' (or 'Supercharged') and 'R'. For the UK market, company car-friendly 'Executive Edition' and 'SE Business' models with lower tuned versions of the 3.0 litre and 2.2 litre diesel engines respectively were available. The interior included air conditioning vents which are flush fitting in the dash, rotating open once the engine is started, and a rotating gearshift dial, marketed as Jaguar Drive Selector, which automatically elevates from the centre console. Another departure from the traditional Jaguar cabin ambiance is the use of pale-blue backlighting to the instruments, switchgear, and around major control panels. The XF has no cloth interior option, with all trim levels featuring leathers, wood veneers are available along with aluminium, carbon fibre and piano black lacquer trims.Originally registered on 15th October 2013, this XF is a very well equipped example being the ‘Premium Luxury’ model. As a Sportbrake edition, there is ample room and oceans of flexibility with this Jaguar. It will drive like a sedate saloon car but has the capacity to be a comfortable long tourer, ideal for trips abroad or enjoying the beauty of the British countryside. Finished in the delightful colour combination of light metallic blue with cream interior, this one owner Jaguar has been well maintained with six stamps in the service book. A superb car to drive with great ergonomics, this XF is supplied with a V5C registration book and a current MoT test certificate valid until 16th August 2021.

1995 Porsche 911 / 993 Carrera Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:94795The Porsche 993 was introduced in 1993 as a replacement for the 964 generation of the iconic 911 models and was built until 1998. Regarded by many as the best generation of 911's ever produced from Stuttgart, this car was the last to use the air-cooled flat six engine that had powered 911's for the previous thirty years. It was offered in a number of guises and specifications during its production life including two and four-wheel drive, known as Carrera and Carrera 4 respectively.This stunning example was first registered on 1st August 1995 and it is presented in excellent metallic Polar Silver with classic grey leather interior which has recently been renewed and thus unmarked. Treated to a new hood in blue, this example was specified new from the factory with the lowered chassis, sports seats and wind deflector, all of which are detailed on the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity supplied with the car. The car has recently benefitted from new rear tyres and a new rear silencer in March 2019, it also boasts a tonneau cover and two sets of keys. Our private owner, a Porsche enthusiast and club member, purchased the car in 2015 and has since serviced the car with well-known specialists, Northway Porsche, with 19 stamps found in the original stamped maintenance book and continuation book, due to the original being full, with the most recent service in October 2020.

2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S Transmission: manualMileage:12250 The 996 model of the 911 Porsche was replaced by the 997 in 2005. The new model shares less than a third of its parts with the outgoing 996 but is technically similar to it. At the launch two versions were introduced. They were the Carrera and the more powerful and better equipped Carrera S. This was the first time since 1977 that the 911 was offered in two power versions. The specification differences included larger and more powerful brakes with red calipers, lowered suspension featuring the ‘Porsche Active Suspension Management’ system, Xenon headlights and a sports steering wheel.Originally registered on 1st June 2005, the smooth lines of this elegant looking Carrera S are accentuated by stunning black metallic paint and a matching black leather interior. We are informed by the vendor that this Porsche is a joy to drive. From the comfort of the electric seats, the road holding on these Porsches is exceptional and the responsiveness of the 3.8 litre engine is certain to put a smile on a driver’s face.

1966 Austin Mini Cooper Mk. I (998cc) Transmission: manualMileage:6179These fabulous and popular little cars were designed in 1959 and were heralded as a new concept in car design. Little did they know or envisage what would become of these great models. With a monocoque shell, transversely mounted engine and front wheel drive, the new 'Mini' soon became popular across the world and to all types of individual well healed or not! The potential for competition use was soon seen by John Cooper; he eventually persuaded BMC and the two worked together culminating in the birth of the Austin Mini Cooper and the Morris Mini Cooper in 1961. Victories in the 1964, 1965 and 1967 Monte Carlo Rallies set the Mini on the road to fame but probably the greatest publicity was gained from the, somewhat unfair, disqualification for lighting irregularities in the 1966 event after coming in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. A more powerful Mini Cooper, dubbed the 'S', was developed in tandem and released in 1963.This lovely example of this British classic is presented in Island Blue with an Old English White roof and was recently the subject to some extensive works to the body by Old School Mini. The very nice interior is finished in period correct Cumulous Grey with Gold Brocade and the wheels have just been refurbished with new tyres fitted all round.

1998 BMW Z3M Transmission: manualMileage:111570The Z3 was the first modern mass-market roadster produced by BMW, as well as the first new BMW model to be assembled in the United States. It was introduced as a 1996 model year vehicle, shortly after being featured in the James Bond movie 'Goldeneye'. While the film was number one at the box office, sales of the car peaked and it was sold out by the time the car was launched. Along with the styling cues, BMW’s Motorsports division took the Z3M and shoehorned in the performance version of the most beloved six-cylinder engines in the auto industry from the BMW E36 M3, upping the power to 321bhp!!This example is finished in Estoril Blue metallic with blue and black leather sports seats and a blue hood. The car comes with its factory hardtop, heated seats, electric windows and electric door mirrors. It also has remote door locking facility, wind deflectors and a roof cover.

2006 Porsche 911 / 997 Carrera 4S Convertible Transmission: automaticMileage:84285The 997 is dripping with technology. The Carrera S had the new Porsche Active Suspension Management as standard with both Carrera and non-Carrera benefitting from variable-ratio steering and Porsche stability management. Safety was further enhanced by the addition of four-wheel drive, a useful addition when you are channelling that much power through to the tarmac from the larger S-spec engine. Additionally, there was also the Sport Chrono Package offering a dash-mounted stopwatch which, as Octane put it, “tautened the throttle and suspension damping while loosening the PSM’s rein.”First registered on 26th April 2006, this wonderful Carrera 4S offers the perfect blend of sports car excitement with everyday practicality. Whether the top is up or down, flying down country lanes or visiting the local supermarket, the 4S does it all effortlessly and commands the respect of car lovers everywhere who recognise the Porsche ‘S’ models as the connoisseur’s choice.

1967 Lotus Elan S3 Fixedhead Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:18004Introduced in 1962, the Elan featured a simple but effective steel backbone frame and all-independent wishbone suspension which used a modified Chapman Strut, as developed in Lotus Grand Prix cars, at the rear. Rack and pinion steering was sourced from the Triumph Vitesse and there were Girling disc brakes all round. The Elan's engine was a highly modified 1498cc (later 1558cc) Ford Cortina unit incorporating Lotus's own twin camshaft cylinder head and both the gearbox and differential came, likewise, from Ford. Introduced in November 1964, the S2 featured numerous detail styling changes and improved brakes. As one would expect given its background and specification, the Elan proved to be a highly capable circuit racer and, capitalising on the numerous successes achieved by privately entered cars, Lotus introduced their own version, the '26R', in 1964.This rare Lotus Elan S3 is finished in bright Daffodil Yellow with contrasting black trim interior. The car was registered new on 21st April 1967 and the registration document shows only six owners from 1977. The car has been fully rebuilt from the ground up over the last 18 years, including a new Spyder chassis which has just been finished and recommissioned in January 2021 at a cost of £5,539, along with a full body off respray taken back to gel coat and all new front suspension, brake discs, engine flywheel and complete clutch assembly.

2005 Bentley Continental Flying Spur Transmission: automaticMileage:43000The Bentley Continental Flying Spur (2006 - 2013) is the second Bentley manufactured since Volkswagen Group purchased the brand in 1999, after the Continental GT. The Flying Spur is essentially a four-door version of the GT, with a longer wheelbase and greater length for more spacious rear seating. The two models are similarly priced and the Flying Spur carries the same twin-turbo 6.0-litre W12 used in the Continental GT, for an output of 600bhp. It has a 0 to 60 time of a very impressive 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 195 mph. The steering column-mounted paddle shifters enable direct access to the six-speed gearbox when the ZF transmission is in sports mode or the car can be driven at a more leisurely pace in automatic mode. Twelve inches longer than the GT and sharing the same permanent four-wheel drive platform and twin-turbo 6.0-litre W12 engine, although it must be said the Flying Spur is not just about eye-watering performance, the cabin is whisper quiet at any speed thanks to the silky engine and the extensive noise insulation measures that extend to double-pane glazing.This Bentley benefits from a full main dealer service history. To drive such a car is a memorable experience, when they have been cosseted in such a way as this example has it enhances the driving experience even further. The specification of a Flying Spur is exceptional with climate control front and rear, heated seats, electric memory seats and air conditioned seats. Finished in silver with black interior and supplied with a V5C registration document together with an Mot test certificate valid until 10th February 2022. This has been an exceptionally well cared for example having had ten services throughout its life all at Bentley main dealers, the last one was carried out by Jack Barclay on 12th March 2018 at 40,410 miles. The ergonomics of a Bentley Flying Spur are superb and the interior is remarkably sumptuous with ample leather and wood. Without doubt this car offers exceptional value for money.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1966 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagoda Transmission: manualMileage:6305Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in March of 1963, the 230 SL was a very different car to its predecessors. Intended as the replacement for the 190 SL, the 230 SL abandoned the four-cylinder engine in favour of a 2.3 litre fuel-injected six cylinder engine, producing 150bhp. The new engine was derived from that of the great 220 SE. The Paul Bracq penned body was an all new, stylish design which became an instant classic. Beneath the skin, the running gear was conventional Mercedes-Benz, featuring independent suspension, disc brakes on the front and rear drums. Top speed was in excess of 120mph. Soon after the 230 SL was announced, Eugen Bohringer drove one to victory in the Spa-Sofia-Liège Rally and, although competition outings are rare, this was the sort of debut one would expect from the Stuttgart factory. These SL models were amongst the most-loved sports-tourers of their day and continue to be highly sought after by collectors.This fabulous 230 SL is finished in the striking colour combination of Signal Red with black interior and with a black hardtop. Subject to a huge restoration programme, this Mercedes-Benz presents in remarkable condition and must surely be one of the best available on the market today. The quality of the restoration work needs to be viewed in person to appreciate the workmanship. We are advised she drives as good as she looks, the 2.3 litre engine is mated to a manual gearbox. Now UK registered and supplied with a V5C registration document this Mercedes-Benz is in left hand guise;this is an opportunity to purchase one of the best Pagoda’s we have seen.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2007 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG F1 Transmission: automaticMileage:45558Mercedes-Benz launched its new SL-Class (R230) of high-performance GTs in September 2001 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, though one had already served as Formula 1's Safety Car at Hockenheim in July. In 2002 the SL55 AMG went on sale. Hailed by Evo magazine as 'a supercar in disguise', the latter was powered by a 5.4 litre V8 engine producing 469bhp and a monstrous 520lb/ft of torque. And if that was not enough, the seriously speed-addicted could opt for the F1 version, which came with AMG's Performance Package that had been developed for the 2002 Formula 1 Safety Car. Costing an additional £10,000, AMG's upgrades included 'relaxing' the electronic speed restriction, enabling the car to reach 300km/h (186mph), plus changes to the suspension and brakes. There was also an extra oil cooler, a limited-slip differential and various changes to the exterior and interior styling. For the SL55 AMG a more robust five-speed automatic transmission was specified, the standard car's seven-speeder being considered not man enough for the job.This superb example of this ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’ is presented in silver with black leather interior and comes with electric memory seats, air conditioning with climate control and a wind deflector. This is the facelift model with the F1 option pack and offered 510bhp when new and with its improved suspension, it gave it 60% less body roll. It also comes with a full Mercedes-Benz service history except for the last two, which were carried out by a Mercedes-Benz specialist. When the car was fully serviced in August 2019, this included the drive belts and plugs with an invoice total of £3,880 and it has covered just over 900 miles since. The present owner last serviced the car in February this year and he also replaced the rather dated satellite navigation system with a modern £3,000 Apple CarPlay touch screen unit (the original unit will come with car retaining its provenance). This fabulous car wants for nothing and is in superb condition throughout. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1963 Ford Lotus Cortina Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:31684In 1961, Colin Chapman was commissioned by Harry Mundy to design a twin-cam version of the Ford Kent engine and its first appearance was at the Nürburgring in a Lotus 23 driven by Jim Clark. Soon after, the engine appeared in the Lotus Elan. During the engine's development, Walter Hayes at Ford asked Colin Chapman to fit the twin-cam into 1,000 Ford saloons for Group 2 racing homologation. Chapman accepted the contract and the type 28, or Lotus Cortina as it became known, was born. Whilst Ford supplied the two-door body shells and took care of the marketing, Lotus engineered the mechanical and cosmetic changes which included the 1558cc engine along with the Elan's close-ratio gearbox, front quarter bumpers and Lotus badges. They also made changes to the interior with a new centre console to accommodate the revised gear lever position, different seats and a later styled dashboard that incorporated a tachometer, odometer, oil pressure, water temperature and fuel gauges. A wood rimmed steering wheel was the finishing touch.This magnificent Lotus Cortina was first registered on 17th June 1963 and was originally manufactured in the Lotus colours of white with a green stripe. Having been restored to a superb standard, the body colour was changed to the Alan Mann racing colours of red with a gold stripe in September 2001. With excellent door gaps and panels that are extremely straight with no rippling the quality of the restoration of this Ford is clear to see. The twin cam Lotus engine runs well with good oil pressure and the gear changes smooth. We are advised on the open road this Lotus Cortina drives well and creates a host of admiring glances. Supplied with a V5C registration document, a full years MoT test certificate and a huge history file together with a number of spare parts.  Alongside the detailed ownership history, this is a very desirable and well-maintained example and is a great opportunity to own one of these highly sought-after and collectable classics. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1959 Sunbeam Rapier Competition Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:94697The Sunbeam Rapier Series II was announced on 6th February 1958, available in hardtop and convertible formats. Rootes arranged for nine of the new cars to be in Monte Carlo for the press to try at the end of the 1958 Monte Carlo Rally.  An improvement in the Series II was its more powerful engine, referred to as the Rallymaster, which had an increased capacity of 1,494 cc combined with a higher compression ratio and larger inlet and exhaust valves to raise the power to 73 bhp. Autocar quoted the top speed as 91 mph with a 0-60 mph time of 20.2 seconds. As a direct result of competition experience, the Series II was also fitted with larger front brakes and a recirculating ball steering box instead of the worm and nut box of the Series I. When new, the Sunbeam Rapier posted notable rallying results, supported by the Rootes Competition Department. And, more than half a century later, Rapiers are still notching up successful results in the ever-popular classic rallying movement.This 1959 Rapier Coupé was fully restored in 2019 and, with notable success from being an eight-time Historic Monte Carlo Rally finisher, offers a cost-effective route into historic rallying indeed having recently completed Hero Challenge rallies, including on and off-road tests, with the vendor reporting that it performed superbly. We are informed the bodywork with its cream and turquoise paint is in very good order as is the running gear.  The interior is also in fine order; likewise the under-bonnet area with what is described by the vendor as an excellent electrical system, and the engine which starts and runs well. In preparation for recent events the vendor has added two new spare tyres, battery cover, covered the internal brake bias and added rear seats for regularity and installed a compliant Brantz trip meter. Supplied with a very good history file (complete with older FIA papers) this Rapier is ready to continue its rallying career and hopefully bag the new owner a few more trophies in the process - fabulous value indeed and in the right hands, this is a very capable car. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1976 Mini ‘Margrave’ by Wood & Pickett (1293cc) Transmission: manualMileage:3200This stunning Margrave started life as a Mini 1275 GT in 1976, before going on to world famous specialists Wood & Pickett in Park Royal London for numerous upgrades and transformation into the car we see today. It features the usual WP de-seamed rear end, the reduced size rear window, full Webasto sunroof, electric windows, comfortable custom made seats fitted with arm rests and picnic tables at the rear, twin fuel tanks and an all custom interior and dash. The result was a unique and real period stunner. Purchased in 1988 by the last owner of 23 years, the car was then handed over to renowned Mini specialists Minispeed. Under a 'no expense' spared instruction for an extensive nut and bolt restoration back to ‘better than new’ condition, work began and continued for seven months. Genuine Bentley Walnut paint was applied during the rebuild, with the cost of the paint material alone more than £600...20 years ago! An extensive refurbishment was completed and the final invoice came to a staggering £24,000; the equivalent restoration today would set you back £67,000 not including the cost of the car. The engine was also uprated to 1293cc at this time and a further £6,000 has been spent on maintenance in more recent times. Featuring in a four page article in ‘Mini World’ last year, this wonderful Mini has driven just 3,000 miles since work was completed and presents superbly, benefitting from a year’s MoT, an extensive history file and the UK V5C registration document.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1972 Jaguar E-Type Series III Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:30027In March 2008, the Jaguar E-Type ranked first in the Daily Telegraph's list of the '100 most beautiful cars' of all time. It was initially designed and shown to the public as a grand tourer in two-seater coupé form and as convertible. The model was made in three distinct versions which are now generally referred to as 'Series I', 'Series II' and 'Series III'. The 3.8 litre engine was increased to 4.2 litres in October 1964 with a new 5.3 Litre, 12-cylinder Jaguar V12 engine then introduced with up rated brakes and power steering as standard for the series III. The short wheelbase fixedhead coupé body style was discontinued and the V12 was available only as a convertible and 2+2 coupé. The convertible used the longer wheelbase 2+2 floorplan. By far the most comfortable and most accomplished of the range, these Series III's were purpose built for long distances and certainly looked the part as well.This delightful genuine UK supplied right hand drive E-Type was originally registered in March 1972 and presents in outstanding condition. The paintwork was refreshed to a high standard in 2015 and the car has been lovingly cared for from a mechanical point of view. The vendor is a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic collector with a garage of eight high quality motor vehicles. Finished in primrose yellow with black leather interior, the condition of the car is certainly commensurate with such a low mileage. This car sits proudly on wire wheels and is fitted with the desirable manual gearbox. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a history folder, this is a wonderful example of the classically dynamic design and it still is a head turner today. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1968 Sunbeam Stiletto Transmission: manualMileage:9000The Stiletto is the sporty version of the Imp, the Rootes Group's innovative small car devised to take on the Mini. The new small saloon was launched in 1963 and built at a brand new factory at Linwood, Scotland. It was co-designed by Michael Parkes, a development engineer for Ferrari, and one of its most notable features was the all-aluminium, high-revving overhead camshaft engine mounted at the rear, based on the lightweight Coventry Climax racing engine. The Imp also boasted all-independent suspension, plus access to the luggage tray behind the rear seats via the opening rear window, a very early hatchback. An improved Mk. II version appeared in 1966, which did away with such oddities as the pneumatic throttle control. Sharp rack and pinion steering makes these true driver's cars, with a sprightly turn of speed thanks to a light weight of just 1560lbs. The Stiletto, introduced in 1967, is distinguished from its lesser brethren by a sloping coupé rear roofline (on these the rear window doesn't open) and quad headlights, while it used the Imp Sport engine, producing 55bhp at 6100rpm and giving 90mph and 0-50mph in just over ten seconds. About 8,900 were made.This slightly modified example is presented in blue with black interior. It is fitted with a UNI gearbox which is the same as the one fitted to the Lotus Esprit. The engine is a Rover K Series producing about 120bhp, with fast road cams, forged pistons and has a modified flywheel. It is fitted with Cobra bucket seats, Momo steering wheel and custom-made wheels. The car is tax and MoT exempt and currently SORN. The car comes with some old receipts and MoT test certificates and instructions for parts including the gearbox. A rare coupé which were often campaigned in Hill Climbing in the early 1970s.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1935 Rolls-Royce 20/25 by Hooper Transmission: manualMileage:19929By the late 1920s the trend for ever-heavier coachwork on the Rolls-Royce 20hp had inevitably had a detrimental effect on performance. Rolls-Royce’s solution was to increase the comparatively small six-cylinder engine’s capacity from just over three litres to 3,699cc which, together with a stronger crankshaft allowing increased rpm, raised its output to 25hp. Over the past eight decades the 20/25hp Rolls-Royce has earned an enviable reputation of being among the most dependable, satisfying and highest quality pre-war models of all. Produced from 1929 to 1935, it represented the marque’s determined effort to move away from massive formal cars, routinely chauffeur-driven, to the newly fashionable owner-driver market for the wealthy private owner-driver. Various detail improvements were made to the 20/25 during its seven year production life including rises in compression ratio in 1930 and 1932; the latter year also saw the introduction of synchromesh for the third and fourth gear ratios, thermostatically controlled radiator grille shutters, a one-shot centralised lubrication system and an electric fuel gauge.This impressive Rolls-Royce was purchased and owned by Robert Jack Dunlop of Thomas Dunlop & Sons who were a Scottish shipping company and grain merchant and he was the son of Sir Thomas Dunlop. The car, for a considerable portion of its life was on his Scottish Estate of Barkskimming. The 20/25 offered here is presented in black with maroon over a maroon leather interior. This impressive looking Rolls-Royce with a body by one of the most famous coachwork companies of that era, Hooper has benefitted from both a respray and mechanical work in the last three years which includes work to the 4300cc engine fitted to this example ( work to which has been recently finished resulting in it running extremely well according to the owner) The interior is also in good condition with a lovely patina to the upholstery. Offered with a history file containing various invoices and a V5C registration document, this MoT test exempt car is a wonderful example of a vintage Rolls-Royce.

2010 Porsche 911 / 997 Gen 2 Turbo S Cabriolet Transmission: automaticMileage:7018Porsche has traditionally raised the appeal of the 911 Turbo during the latter part of its lifecycle with a heavily optioned 'S' model and the 997 Turbo is no exception. The twin-turbocharged 3.8 litre engine of the regular Turbo model has been subtly tweaked to boost performance and receives a nominal 1.0 bar of boost (against 0.8 bar on the standard version) along with lightly modified turbocharger vanes and a carbon fibre air manifold to endow the S with 530bhp and a continuous (not over-boosted) 516lb ft of torque. That’s 30bhp and 37lb ft more than the Turbo resulting in a class-leading (at the time) 0-62 mph in 3.1 seconds although the top speed remained unchanged. The facelifted version of Porsche’s 997 Turbo was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. It was fitted with a completely new 3.8 litre engine generating a maximum power output of 530bhp, thanks to revised Borg-Warner variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbochargers, whilst the optional seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox replaced the Tiptronic. With PDK and the, also optional, Sport-Chrono package, which includes the availability of electronically controlled launch control and an over-boost function for temporarily increasing the turbo-pressure, Porsche claimed the 911 Turbo would accelerate from 0–62 mph in 3.4 seconds and before reaching a top speed of a staggering 194 mph.This one family owned from new, low mileage, example is a second generation, 997 Turbo S cabriolet, which was delivered by Porsche and first registered on 27th November 2010. Resplendent in the rare PTS (paint to sample) specification of Ice Blue metallic with a wonderful black and cream full leather interior. One should not overlook the high specification of this 997, it comes with the desirable GT sports steering wheel with aluminium paddles amongst many other important features. Diligently maintained by both a Porsche main dealer and a specialist, this wonderful example showing a mere 7,018 miles from new has had two services, the drive belt being replaced during the later and four new tyres also being fitted. Offered from a private collection and in very good order throughout, the paintwork presents extremely well as does the alloy wheels and interior, as you would expect with such a low mileage car. Presented to auction in superb order, this 997 comes complete with a history file including the service and maintenance booklets, the current UK registration document and a MoT test certificate valid until September 2021.The vendor reports that the 997’s PDK gearbox makes for an unforgettable driving experience. Combining earth-shattering performance with genuine day-to-day usability, the Turbo S cabriolet is untouchable, and in this delightful colour combination and low mileage, appears irresistible.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1954 Jaguar XK120 Roadster ‘Fast road’ Transmission: manualMileage:30ne of the unassailable leaders in the XK field is Guy Broad. Indeed, any car with a service history or works undertaken by this company will certainly command a premium. It is little surprise that this company his formed part of the development of this car these cars over the years and significant paperwork exist here to support works undertaken. The Malcolm Sayer-designed body panels complemented by the glorious, race-proven, six-cylinder power plant form a glorious Symphony when driven on the open road and XKs were often taken to the next level by their owners looking for that extra performance and the look and feel of their racing siblings.This example has been taken back to bare metal, as you would expect from a restoration of this calibre and repainted in Royal Blue with a contrasting red and tan leather interior, a black mohair hood and complementary weather equipment. The bonnet benefits from additional cooling in the form of louvres pressed expertly into the panel. The original competition racing XK120 ‘NOB 120’ had 12 louvres before the bonnets stiffener and 15 after all held down by the classic leather bonnet strap. It is satisfying to note therefore that this example has being replicated to the exact same specification. Lighting takes the form, as you would expect with standard headlamps but with the addition of rally spotlights.Under the skin, the engine and gearbox (now five-speed) has been taken apart by our friends at Guy Broad, rebuilt with an automatic choke and 2” twin SU carburettors set-up by Alto at A.J. Coachworks and then fitted with an aluminium radiator, installed to assist cooling.Great consideration has gone into the comfort and usability of this motorcar to the extent that the footwell on both sides had been extended by 6” into the bulkhead to accommodate those slightly taller drivers and their passengers. In addition, the two 6V battery boxes in the boot have been combined freeing up one battery box to be upholstered throughout for valuables etc.To finish, a Le Mans style fuel filler cap can be found to the rear and this beautifully-built roadster now sits on 16” chrome wire wheels and new tyres. 8bhp has been added to the power output by the fitting of big bore, stainless steel exhaust and stainless-steel fittings throughout. A superb example well put together and embodying much of the thinking behind the racing cars of yesteryear.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

Also, according to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate, it no longer carries the original engine. It should be noted however that it is still an XK120 engine and so performance will remain unaltered. 

2002 Renault Avantime Privilege Transmission: automaticMileage:108200So sensational was the public and motoring press reaction in 1998 at the Paris Salon unveiling of their concept design gran-turismo super-MPV, Renault poured a staggering 1.4bn francs (€285m) into development of the world’s first MPV coupé. Remarkably, true to the original design, the 'Avantime', built by Matra, was a genuine mould-breaker that offered a luxurious cabin. Add to this an option to specify the highly capable three litre, V6 engine, the Avantime really delivered a truly exciting motoring experience.First registered to Renault UK Ltd., each 'prestige' dealership was allocated a showcase Avantime. HY02 XZN is 'Limited Edition' car Number 55. Specified as a top-of-the-range, three litre, V6 in 'Nocturn' metallic purple beneath silver roof-rails with black leather and carpets. Mr. Black has been the sole private registered keeper of this car from new, with annual usage reducing each year until the car was placed into storage for four years. Some light recommissioning took place last Summer and a fresh MoT test issued last September. The car is reported to present magnificently and drives smoothly. Historics are proud to present such a desirable Avantime, complete with both original keys, leather owner's zipper wallet, original dealer number plates (retained with the history file), Limited Edition Renault UK presentation book, box, plaque and certificate.

2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder Transmission: paddleMileage:18657Manufactured from 2003 to 2013 the Lamborghini Gallardo is important in the history of the Sant Agata firm as it represents the most successful model in their history. Both eminently usable and importantly, reliable, the V10 sportscar had total Audi backup which made it hugely desirable and subsequently, the most successful sportscar built from this particular Carrozzeria. Its secret lies in its light but stiff space frame chassis mounted to a five litre, V10 engine powering all four wheels on demand. Offered with two choices of transmission; a conventional six-speed manual transmission and an advanced six-speed electro-hydraulically controlled, semi-automatic which Lamborghini abbreviates to 'E-gear'. This allows the driver to make gear changes much faster than they could with a manual gearbox.This fastidiously maintained 2008, low mileage, right hand drive low ratio 'E-gear' car is offered in near faultless Grigio Lynx with Nero black leather trim.

The car looks and sounds as spectacular as any Lamborghini should with the performance to match and the vendor reports it to be just as incredible to drive as you would imagine.Supplied with a fully stamped service history, original book pack, a V5C registration document, previous MoT test certificates, many receipts and two keys. The condition of the car speaks for itself; it has wanted for nothing and looks incredibly handsome in Grigio Lynx.

1963 Daimler SP250 ‘B’ Specification Transmission: manualMileage:82225The controversially styled Daimler Dart was introduced at the New York Motor Show in 1959 and had its European debut at the 1959 Earls Court Motor Show; the Dart name was soon dropped after the threat of legal action from Chrysler who had a car of that name within their Dodge division. Thereafter this new sports car was known as the Daimler SP250. Power was provided by the 2.5 litre, Edward Turner designed, V8 that soon became revered for the smoothness in its power delivery with 140bhp on tap. Independent double wishbone front suspension at the front and half elliptical springs at the rear with a live rear axle kept the car on the road with stopping power supplied by hydraulic disc brakes on all four corners. The coachwork was constructed with glass reinforced plastic providing a tough, strong and lightweight shape that enhanced performance with exciting and non-traditional looks. The 120mph plus capability was recognised by the police and they were soon being used as high-speed chase cars.This very good Daimler SP250 ‘B’ Specification was first registered on Valentine’s day 1963 and was restored in the 1980’s. In the late 1980’s, after the restoration, it was purchased by Mr. John Hill who kept the car for 18 years before selling it to the current owner in 2007. Over the next few years, the car has had various specialist work carried out, mostly by John Kemply historic sports and race car specialists of Sussex. This work included a full engine rebuild which involved it been fully balanced and using original ‘old stock’ Hepworth pistons and crankshaft, the gearbox fully rebuilt and fitting a diaphragm clutch with a thrust bearing conversion, Spax shock absorbers with replacement rear springs, a fast flow radiator and additional electric fan, a complete stainless steel exhaust system, electronic ignition, a new fuel tank with integral reserve fuel solenoid, Coopercraft front brake calipers and brake discs and new tyres. Finished in red with black interior, this SP250 is supplied with the complete original front bumper, a V5 registration document and a file containing invoices for the work carried out over recent years. The MoT history shows that this car has covered less than 10,000 miles whilst in the current owner’s possession. This car comes from a private collection of a discerning collector and enthusiast, which can be seen in the care taken with this car. This is a great opportunity to own a rare ‘B’ Specification SP250 which is very usable and appreciating car.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1991 Range Rover CSK Transmission: manualMileage:158,438The limited edition Range Rover CSK is named after Charles Spencer King, the man who designed the original two-door Range Rover over 20 years ago. The CSK was intended primarily to publicise the new anti-roll suspension and was promoted as a sportier Range Rover but most elements of its specification were drawn from the four-door Vogue SE or from US-market models. Each car has an individually numbered plaque on the radio panel confirming its exclusivity, discreetly bearing his insignia and, in 1990, would set you back £28,995 for the manual or £30,319.32 for the automatic. The CSK features a number of modifications improving both performance and passenger comfort and became the fastest production Range Rover ever built at that time with the proven and re-chipped version of the 3.9 litre, V8 engine developing 185bhp. The increase in performance was complemented by improved handling at high speeds with the introduction of front and rear anti-roll bars and sports dampers to give a smoother, more comfortable ride.  Standard equipment includes a six-speaker security coded stereo system, air-conditioning, central locking and electrically operated tilt/slide sunroof, electric windows and heated door mirrors. Also, standard is one of the world's most advanced four-wheel drive ABS braking system which prevents wheel-lock in the worst conditions on any combination of surfaces.This CSK is number 181 of 200 examples manufactured. An extensive restoration was carried out between 2012 and 2018, this was a ‘body off’ restoration giving clear and encumbered access to the chassis. The restoration cost was an eye-watering £113,000,this gives an indication to the extensiveness of work carried out and more importantly the quality of the work. Described as being in ‘great running order’ and sitting proudly on a relatively new set of Michelin tyres, this limited edition and highly sought-after Range Rover comes with a V5C registration document and the restoration invoices Interested parties should note that this vehicle developed a fault with the transfer box on the way here. This will be repaired at the vendors expense and the vehicle delivered to the new owner free of charge (within reason).Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1962 Bentley S3 Transmission: automaticMileage:62618The last Bentley to be built on a separate chassis, in 1962, saw the introduction of the Bentley S3 factory bodied, standard steel saloon and, at first glance, it would appear that the all new S3 was merely an S2 with different headlamps. The introduction of the twin headlamps was clearly the most obvious change, but the differences did not end there. Further changes included the introduction of smaller bumper overriders and the repositioning of the front indicators and side lamps into one single unit on the front wing, resulting in a more attractive appearance. The S3's interior now had individual front seats in place of the split bench seat found in the earlier S-Types; and some, like this one, had electric windows and front seatbelts. Mechanically speaking the S3 was the same as the S2 with a 6,230cc, Rolls-Royce V8 engine and automatic gearbox but this model was fitted with larger carburettors, improved power steering to aid smoother movement at parking speed and a Lucas vacuum-advance distributor to aid fuel consumption, making it almost identical in mechanical specification to the S3 Continental that was being produced at the same time.This Bentley S3 standard steel saloon was supplied on 7th July 1964 and is presented in stunning deep blue coachwork with complementary soft grey leather interior and blue carpets. The interior which includes the walnut dashboard is synonymous with the comfort of such a prestigious vehicle. In 2020, after having the vehicle repainted in 2019, the vendor undertook a full engine rebuild of his S3, these two investments on such a luxurious vehicle would have come with quite an investment. Unfortunately, due to a lack of storage the vendor has decided the car must now be sold, this poses a fantastic opportunity for the new keeper to own a post-war, factory-built Bentley perfect for special occasions.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1997 Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph Transmission: automaticMileage:40418The Geneva Motor Show of 1998 saw the launch of the all new Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph. This new model was hand built at the Rolls-Royce factory in Crewe. It replaced the Silver Spur which ended production in 1997. The car had a base price of £155,175 in the U.K. and was powered by a 5.4 litre, aluminium alloy BMW V12 engine, making it the first twelve cylinder Rolls-Royce since the 1939 Phantom III. This well equipped Rolls-Royce was fitted with adaptive ride control and anti-lock brakes and shared a platform and bodyshell with its contemporary; the Bentley Arnage. In both cars the seats and dashboard were upholstered in Connolly leather with the door cappings and folding rear picnic trays finished in burr walnut veneer. The build quality of this new model was described as being the best Rolls-Royce to date.Originally registered on 19th December 1997, this Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph presents extremely well in the classic combination of Peacock Blue paintwork and magnolia Connolly leather. Arguably the most popular colour combination for this model. The inside of this great car greets with an abundance of woodwork and exceedingly comfortable seats. The smooth 5379cc, V12 engine offers brisk performance. As one of the last Rolls-Royce models to be built at the spiritual home of the brand these cars are becoming recognised by collectors and enthusiasts as fine investments. There is a good service history with this impressive car with the most recent work being undertaken in late 2020. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until September 2021, this splendid, low mileage example represents fantastic value and is offered at a fraction of its original cost.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1979 Ford Escort Mk. II RS2000 Custom Transmission: manualMileage:97688The squarer-styled Escort Mk. II version appeared in January 1975 with the first models having rolled off the production lines on 2nd December 1974. Unlike the first Escort (which was developed by Ford of Britain), the second generation was developed jointly between the UK and Ford of Germany. Codenamed ‘Brenda’ during its development, it had the same mechanical configuration as the Mk. I Escort. The estate and van versions used the same panel work as the Mk. I but with the Mk. II front end and interior. The car used a revised underbody which had in fact been introduced as a running change during the last six months of the life of the Mk. I. The car was a success with just four body styles by competing in many different market niches where rival manufacturers had multiple models. The ‘L’ and ‘GL’ models were in the mainstream purchased by the private sector, the ‘Sport’, ‘RS Mexico’ and ‘RS2000’ in the performance market; the ‘Ghia’ for an untapped small car luxury sector and ‘base’ models for the fleet market. During the second half of the 1970s, the Escort continued to prove hugely popular with buyers in Britain. Production, after an incredibly successful model run, ended in Britain in August 1980 with other countries following soon after.This superb Escort RS2000 Custom is in excellent condition and has more recently been the subject of an extensive restoration. Undertaken in 2018 the car was placed on a rotisserie and work included a bare metal respray and restoration of the body. The paintwork was finished in dark blue and the interior was trimmed in contrasting brown cloth. During the restoration, the Ford was fitted with an upgraded 2.0 Litre Zetec engine and five-speed gearbox and as such performs very well indeed and sounds superb when on song. Dry stored and used sparingly the car remains in excellent condition; the engine bay of this Ford is immaculate as is the paintwork and interior. This 1980’s classic is one of the finest RS2000’s we have seen and is supplied with a sizeable history file detailing the restoration, the current UK V5C registration document, and many old MoT test certificates. Eminently usable, we are sure this RS2000 will bring a smile to the face of the lucky new owner.(Buyers please note this lot is offered with various spares including a Pinto engine block which will require collection from the vendor).Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2001 Aston Martin Vanquish Transmission: paddleMileage:14481An entirely new Aston Martin for the 21st Century, the Vanquish debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2001, with deliveries commencing a few months later. The Vanquish took over from the Vantage V8 with the Newport Pagnell factory undergoing an extensive multi-million pound refurbishment to accommodate it, gaining a new assembly line, paint shop, rolling road and water test facility. Styled by Ian Callum, the man responsible for the DB7, the Vanquish was developed with assistance from Aston Martin’s parent company Ford using constructional techniques more advanced than those of any current road car of that time. The 6.0 litre, 48 valve, V12 engine, the first of its type for Aston Martin, developed 460bhp at 6,800rpm, 400lb/ft of torque available at 5,500 revs. The state-of-the-art electronic engine management system provided ‘drive by wire’ throttle control and was linked to the six-speed manual gearbox’s electro-hydraulic change mechanism, a first for a production car. The gearchange was controlled by F1-style paddles and could be operated in either of two modes, fully manual or computer controlled automatic, with a ‘sport’ setting available on both. It was an instant sales success and its choice as transport for James Bond only added to the appeal.This truly stunning Aston Martin Vanquish 2+2 has only covered 14,500 miles and when new was supplied with the Aston Martin Works walnut pack, premium audio system and electric heated seats. Regularly serviced with twelve services listed, the last carried out at 14,025 miles, this car has had the Vanquish S clutch upgrade fitted. Finished in Ferrari Grigio Titanio silver with charcoal and Tailor Grey interior, this lovely Aston Martin Vanquish is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in October 2021, the original aluminium book pack, the fire extinguisher, first aid kit, torch, tyre pressure gauge, quick guide and original note pad. Ever since the introduction DB9 Aston Martin have built the reputation of building the ultimate Gran Turismo cars, a combination of high performance with ultimate luxury and the Vanquish continued with this lifestyle choice.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1970 Ford Escort Mk. I Twin Cam Ex-Hannu Mikkola Transmission: manualMileage:78240The Mk. I Ford Escort was introduced in Ireland and the UK at the end of 1967, making its show debut at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1968. It replaced the successful, long-running Ford Anglia. The front suspension and steering gear were differently configured, and the brakes were fitted with dual hydraulic circuits; also the wheels fitted on the Genk-built Escorts had wider rims. At the beginning of 1970, continental European production transferred to a new plant on the edge of Saarlouis, West Germany. They were hailed as an immediate success both domestically on the roads and for motor sport, particularly rallying. A higher performance version for rallies and racing was available, the Escort Twin Cam, which was built for Group 2 international rallying. It had an engine with a Lotus-made eight-valve twin camshaft head fitted to the 1.5 litre non-crossflow block, which had a bigger bore than usual to give a capacity of 1,558cc. This engine had originally been developed for the Lotus Elan. The Mk. I Escorts were incredibly successful and they eventually went on to become one of the most successful rally cars of all time.This rare and historically interesting ex-Ford Works rally car was driven in period by Hannu Mikkola at the Rally of Cyprus in October 1970 and also in period by the British rally star Roger Clark although he didn’t compete in the car (as pictured in the book ‘The Works Escorts’ Second Edition by Graham Robson). The car was first registered in February 1970 and was sold (shown in a used vehicle brochure) as an ex-Works car on 30th June 1972. The car still has the same registration from new which is recorded in its original buff logbook and again confirmed in the present logbook. This car is depicted in various magazines and Works Escort books being rallied by the sporting luminaries mentioned and has been in storage for most of its latter-day life, forming part of a small private collection presently. This car is known by the AVO Club who inspected and valued it in 2011 confirming its provenance. A wonderful piece of motorsport history not to be missed.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1956 Citroën 2CV Van Transmission: manualMileage:Ranking alongside the Volkswagen Beetle, Mini and Land Rover as one of the classic mass-produced cars of the post-war era, Citroën's quirky 2CV debuted in 1949. Intended to provide basic transport in a period of post-war austerity, the 2CV outlived its humble beginnings, going on to attain cult status as the favoured car of the environmentally concerned motorist. Although the original 375cc air-cooled flat-twin engine grew, eventually, to 602cc, the 2CV's performance remained modest at around 70mph flat-out, not that that concerned the majority of its devotees for whom the roomy interior, full-length sunroof and frugal fuel consumption were of far greater importance. The 2CV was built in civilian, military and commercial versions, the latter - a small delivery van - being known as the 'Fourgonette', which was first seen in 1951. By the time production ceased in 1990 more than 5 million 2CVs of all types had been made.This left hand drive example of this iconic French model is presented in the state in which it was found in a barn in 2006 in France. The car was then imported to the UK when the body was then removed from the chassis. The floors and sills were replaced together with a new bulkhead and toe board – which are the parts that normally rot on these vehicles. The body was then refitted to the sound, original chassis and the body was left exactly as it was. The engine is running but the car is currently SORN however it does come with a V5 registration document. A fun potential commercial vehicle or just to potter around in but we suggest an element of recommissioning would be a good idea.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1989 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL Transmission: automaticMileage:92902 With the R107 shape Mercedes-Benz, you are very much buying into an image. The style and flair are there in spades married, obviously, to renowned German build-quality. There are many variations on the theme in terms of engine size and the larger the size, generally, the more desirable, the car and so it is with this ‘Sports Licht’ roadster. The biggest on offer in Europe was the five litre, V8 engine and it is this well-engineered power plant that can be found under this bonnet today.Presenting well in the rare but attractive colour combination of Almandine Red with cream interior, this classic looking Mercedes has benefitted from recent extensive work by the SL Shop, N J Restorations and D-Class automotive that has totalled over £35,000. These comprehensive works included: replacement bulkhead, a new soft top, extensive work on the suspension, brakes and engine with new tyres, new carpets and seat covers. In addition to this a bare metal respray has been completed by NJ Restoration and the replacement bulkhead is still under warranty from the SL Shop. There is both a photographic history of the restoration and a file of receipts, invoices and old MoT’s to accompany ten years of service history. This 500 SL is one of the last of the R107 models to leave the world-famous Stuttgart factory (registered in December 1989) and features the optional rear seats and the desirable removable hardtop. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until July 2021 and given the values achieved at auction recently, G794 CLK can only be described as extremely well estimated. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1998 Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph ‘Ex Sir Bobby Robson’Transmission: automaticMileage:77222Unveiled in March 1998, the Silver Seraph replaced the Silver Spur. All Seraphs were handbuilt at the Rolls-Royce factory in Crewe, England, which stopped making Rolls-Royce models in 2002 but continued with Bentley. The car had a base price of £155,175 in the UK and was powered by a 5.4 litre, aluminium alloy, BMW V12 engine making it the first twelve-cylinder Rolls-Royce since the 1939 Phantom III. Standard electronics included digital engine management, adaptive ride control and anti-lock brakes and, aside from the radiator grille, badges and wheels, the Rolls-Royce was externally identical to the contemporary Bentley Arnage sharing both its platform and bodyshell. Inside, the Silver Seraph and the Bentley Arnage were similar but quite distinct from one another. In the Seraph, the gear selector was column mounted, and the gauges followed a traditional Rolls-Royce layout (for example, there was no tachometer). In both cars, the seats and dashboard were upholstered in Connolly leather and glossy burr walnut veneer and featured folding picnic trays for rear passengers.This wonderful example showing a mere 77,222 miles on the odometer is presented in the desirable colour combination of silver over a red leather interior. Purchased by ‘the gentleman of British football’, the late Sir Bobby Robson some years ago, the Silver Seraph was his pride and joy and was used regularly. The current vendor reports that the Rolls-Royce is in very good order throughout and drives superbly. Offered with a UK V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate the Seraph comes to the market with a sensible reserve price and a very interesting history. Ready to be enjoyed by a new custodian. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1997 Bentley Turbo R Long Wheelbase Transmission: automaticMileage:13500Based on the Mulsanne chassis, the Bentley Turbo R was built to be a serious high-performance machine, and like its predecessor, this Bentley had a turbocharged engine, however, the R was more highly tuned and a touch sportier. With Bosch fuel-injection increasing torque levels, uprated suspension, anti-roll bars, and superior dampers, the Bentley Turbo was surprisingly nimble for a car of its size and fitted with a 6750cc V8 capable of 135mph, it was a real performer in a straight line too. Rave reviews in the press helped dealers move the Turbo R in relatively substantial numbers, one report by Motor Trend described it as ‘The first Bentley in decades deserving of that famous name’. The suspension changes, though seemingly subtle, transformed the heavy car into a real performer and slotted above the Bentley Mulsanne S and Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit and it carved a well-deserved niche in the world of performance saloons.This exceptional H.R. Owen supplied Bentley Turbo R Long Wheelbase has only covered 13,500 miles from new. Registered on 1st January 1997, the first owner, being chauffeur driven, had the car for 20 years until 2017 and only covered 13,035 miles. The second owner sent the car to The Chelsea Workshop who carried out a full service and replaced the steering rack all at a cost of £4,400, in his ownership he has added a further 450 miles to the total. Finished in Diamond Blue Silver with Royal Blue hide which has been described as virtually perfect and Burr Walnut wood veneer. A superb service history accompanies P778 MRK and we have been informed that it is driving exceptionally well. This Turbo R Long Wheelbase is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in March 2022 and a file containing copies of the service history from H.R. Owen, past MoT test certificates, a copy of the build sheets and a copy of The Chelsea Workshop invoices. These magnificent machines were one of the finest ever manufactured at Crewe and are fast becoming recognised as such, and this example is probably the best of the best.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1995 Jaguar XJS Celebration Convertible Transmission: automaticMileage:105671975 saw the launch of the Jaguar XJS. In a year that Margaret Thatcher was made the leader of the Conservative Party and petrol was 70p per gallon, the new grand tourer from Jaguar was introduced as the replacement for the iconic E-Type. During an astonishing build run of 21 years, 115,413 units were produced by the Coventry manufacturer at their world famous Browns Lane factory. The final, more aerodynamic version of the XJS was introduced in 1991. At the same time, the car benefitted from a revision to the rear brakes; they were now fitted with outboard rear disc brakes, instead of the more complicated inboard items on previous models. With a more efficient engine and subtle design changes, this version was available until production ceased in 1996.Originally registered on 1st June 1995, this XJS convertible is finished in Turquoise with Cream leather interior. The first registered keeper was the supplying dealer and when the car changed hands, she was lovingly looked after by the second owner before changing hands within the same family. Only one service stamp is in the service book in May 2004 when the mileage was 10,083 although clearly this Jaguar has been maintained to a high standard, she is unmarked and appears to be in totally original condition. Shortly after the service in 2004, the car was taken off the road and put into a professional storage facility. The current owner and vendor lightly recommissioned the XJS in 2016 and has covered some 500 miles during his stewardship. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a full years MoT test certificate, the Jaguar XJS Celebration signalled the end of an era. Low mileage original examples are becoming increasingly rare and highly sought after.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1991 Nissan Figaro Transmission: automaticMileage:57379The Nissan Figaro is a front-engine, front-wheel drive, two-door, 2+2 convertible manufactured for model year 1991, and marketed in Japan at Nissan Cherry Stores. Initially a production run of only 8,000 units was planned, however demand was exceedingly high and after two increases in production schedules a total of 20,073 Figaros were manufactured, all in right hand drive format as they were intended solely for the Japanese market. Even with the greatly increased production numbers, demand was so high that potential purchasers had to enter a lottery to win the chance to buy one. Based on the Nissan Micra K10 platform, the Figaro features a turbocharged 980cc engine, mated to a three-speed automatic gearbox. As a fixed-profile convertible, the upper side elements of the Figaro's bodywork remain fixed, while its fabric soft top retracts in conjunction with a solid panel with a glass heated rear window.This Figaro is finished in Emerald Green with cream leather interior. With 92,344km on the odometer (57,379 miles) this Nissan have covered less than 2,000 miles a year. Presenting in very good order throughout, she has just had new brake discs and pads fitted, new rear brake shoes, two new tyres and a recent service. These quirky retro-style cars are good to drive and certainly create interest wherever they appear.

2000 Renault Clio II RS (172 Phase 1) Transmission: manualMileage:44900The Renault Clio is a supermini car and was launched in 1990, and entered its fifth generation in 2019. The Clio has had substantial critical and commercial success, being consistently one of Europe's top-selling cars since its launch and it is largely credited with restoring Renault's reputation and stature after a difficult second half of the 1980s. The Clio is one of only two cars, the other being the Volkswagen Golf, to have been voted European Car of the Year twice, in 1991 and 2006. In 1998, Renault launched the Clio Renault Sport (also known as Clio RS for short, named Clio Renault Sport 172; 172 coming from the DIN method metric horsepower measurement), with a 2.0 L 16-valve engine and a top speed of 137 mph and only 1357 were produced.This lovely example of this rare model is presented in Titanium Silver with blue/grey leather and Alcantara interior.
