1936 Brough Superior SS80 Transmission: paddleMileage:82George Brough, second son of motorcycle manufacturer William Brough, set up his own company in 1919 and purchased premises in Haydn Road, Nottingham to build machines powered by large capacity V-twin, JAP engines. He was assisted in this venture by friends Iike Webb and Harold Karslake who was to become his Chief Engineer. George Brough's desire to improve on the motorcycles built by his father, William, led him to the name Brough Superior and the legend was born.The first production Brough Superior, featuring a 986cc overhead valve V-twin JAP engine, Sturmey-Archer three-speed gearbox and Enfield Cush Hub, was exhibited at the 1921 Motor Cycle Show at Olympia. In 1923 the SS80 was introduced to the public powered by a side-valve, V-twin JAP engine and H.D. Teague, editor of 'The Motorcycle', referred to the Brough Superior as The Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles after road testing an SS80. The slogan was adopted by George Brough and used in subsequent advertising.Competition success was fundamental to the development of the marque and in 1922 George Brough lapped Brooklands at over 100mph on 'Spit and Polish', a prototype for the SS80. Following an accident it was rebuilt and renamed 'Old Bill' and, widely campaigned by George, it became one of the most famous racing machines ever. In 1924, highly regarded tuner and racing motorcyclist, Bert Le Vack, developed the Val Page designed overhead valve JAP V-twin and used it in a Brough Superior motorcycle to set a new World Speed Record of 118.98mph at Arpajon in France.This SS80 example with a sprung Bentley and Draper frame displays all correct numbers. It has been stored indoors in a private collection for the past few years and as such will need some recommissioning before going back on the road. A Brough Owners Club known machine benefiting from an older restoration, this UK registered from new example boasts an extensive history file including copies of the ‘works build sheet’, an old RF60 continuation logbook, previous MoT's, old tax discs, related paperwork, a copy of a parts manual and a current UK V5 registration document. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1976 Lamborghini Espada Series III Transmission: manualMileage:11976 The 1967 Geneva Motor Show event saw the unveiling of the sensational Lamborghini Marzal. A concept car which was seen as an approach to a four-seat Lamborghini. A forerunner for the successful distinct Espada. Named after a matador's sword, the Espada was styled along lines similar to those of the concept Marzal but carried a 4.0 litre V12 up front, first seen in the 400GT and Islero. Introduced in January 1970, the Series II cars came with an extra 25bhp, 155mph top speed, an improved dashboard layout and the option of power assisted steering. The dashboard was revised yet again in late 1972 for the Series III, which also incorporated power steering as standard, up-rated brakes, minor suspension improvements, and a restyled front grille. Espada production ceased in 1978 after 1,217 of these imposing cars had been built. Even today there are few cars that can match the on-road presence of the Espada.This stunning Series III Espada is offered in black with grey full leather interior and we are informed chassis number 9510 was one of the last cars to leave the factory. During the course of its life the car has spent time in various private collections as well as in the Autoglass Family Museum. At the start of what became a comprehensive restoration in September 2008, the car was put into Colin Clarke Engineering where the engine was removed to be fully rebuilt. The car was then sent away to have further works undertaken which included a bare metal respray, all sills and floor pans were completely refurbished before being protected for future use. Once this was complete, the interior was treated to a full retrim in grey leather bringing the car back to full factory condition. The car was then returned to Colin Clarke Engineering in September 2010 to have the rebuilt engine fitted and tested. At the same time the brakes and suspension were overhauled along with the gearbox. This vehicle is now held in our vendors private collection and accompanied by a comprehensive history file. An absolutely stunning, right hand drive, manual example of the marque, this example certainly could not be recreated for the estimate range and thus looks incredible value for such a collectable car. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1976 Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 Transmission: manualMileage:51804At the Paris Auto Salon in 1972, Ferrari unveiled an all new car to the world. It was a fast, svelte and elegant 2+2 powered by their legendary V12 engine, and was the most expensive series produced by Ferrari for 17 years. The 365 GT4 2+2 is easily distinguished from its successors by its six rear tail lights, knock-off alloy wheels, and lack of a front spoiler and was produced between 1972 and 1976. Production totalled 525 cars and just 109 of these were right hand drive. The bodies were built and fully trimmed at the Pininfarina works in Turin, and then shipped to the Ferrari factory in Maranello for the installation of the mechanical components. Under the bonnet, Ferrari squeezed in a 4.4 litre V12 unit producing 340bhp at 7000rpm resulting in the world's most potent full four-seater at the time. Despite its 1,450 kilos, the car galloped from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.4 seconds and was capable of a top speed of 155 mph.This UK supplied, right hand drive 1976 Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 finished in Rosso Sir Ivor with a black Cognolo leather interior, is one of only 27 believed to be left in existence. Ordered new with air conditioning, electric mirrors, electric windows and cassette stereo, it was first registered on 14thMay 1976. The paperwork that accompanies the car shows it was first ordered by Maranello Concessionaires in Egham before being sold onto Lancaster Garages in Colchester, Essex. The car is even rarer in that it has only had three keepers in its entire 45 year life. It has benefitted recently from new, correct Michelin XWX tyres, a suspension overhaul, a new high torque starter motor, new clutch and an engine service which included the carburettors being cleaned and balanced with new points and condensers fitted. The vendor reports that the car drives very well, attracting a lot of attention wherever it goes.Supplied with copies of the car’s original order sheet and factory correspondence, a V5C registration document, previous MoT test certificates and receipts. This desirable, well presented and rare final year of production car, offers an excellent alternative to the much more common comparable Aston Martin or Maserati of the time.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1973 Aston Martin V8 Series II Fi Transmission: automaticMileage:7500These Aston Martins were intended to house the new Tadek Marek-designed V8, the DBS first appeared with the 4.0 litre six-cylinder unit of the concurrently produced DB6. Styled in-house by Bill Towns, the four-seater DBS employed a platform type chassis with independent suspension all round. Bigger and more luxuriously appointed than the DB6, the heavier DBS disappointed some due to its rather lacklustre performance but there were no complaints when the V8 arrived in 1969! With an estimated 345bhp available from its 5,340cc, fuel-injected, four-cam engine, the DBS V8 could reach 100mph in under 14 seconds, with a top speed of 160mph; this was staggering in those days and one which fully justified the claim that it was the fastest production car in the world. In 1972 the acquisition of Aston Martin by Company Developments brought with it a change of name for the V8-engined cars, out went DBS V8 and in came the AM V8. This new Series II was distinguishable by its restyled front which now featured two instead of four headlamps and recalled the looks of the earlier DB six-cylinder cars. Electronic ignition and air conditioning were now standard which we are sure was greatly received.This 1973 Aston Martin Series II V8 with mechanical fuel injection was one of the first Aston Martins built following the sale of Aston Martin by David Brown to Company Developments. This particular car was a barn find, having been off the road for 17 years, it was bought by the previous owner from The Aston Workshop as a project car, showing a mileage reading of 7,310 which is believed to be correct. The chassis number is listed as V8, some confusion arises where the Aston Martin factory decided to use up the stock of David Brown DBS V8 badges, consequently they are often wrongly referred to as a DBS because of the external badging. The car then underwent a three-year restoration, starting in 2016, carried out by Roda Classics in Portugal, which is a non-profit-making garage belonging to Mr. Carlos Antunes (Ex-CEO of Renault Peugeot) who takes on rebuilds/restorations for collectors around the world by invitation only. All the cars are rebuilt under his direct supervision. The body was taken off and renewed where required, the chassis was fully rebuilt with all corrosion removed, all mechanical parts renewed or rebuilt as required, electrical components renewed and refurbished, this is confirmed by the invoices for the parts supplied. The car was then repainted in Antrim Blue changing the original colour which was white and then retrimmed in white leather to complete the restoration. Recently it has been completely gone through and any faults that had developed since returning from Portugal being rectified including a new fuel injection system. This Aston Martin V8 is supplied with a V5 registration document and the full body off restoration is supported by a build book of images along with invoices for the parts supplied by the Aston Workshop. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1995 Porsche 993 Carrera 4 Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:54653The Porsche 993 was introduced in 1993 as a replacement for the 964 generation of the iconic 911 model and was built until 1998. Regarded by many as the best generation of 911s ever produced from Stuttgart, this car was the last to use the air cooled flat six engine that had powered 911s for the previous thirty years. The 993 was offered in a number of guises and specifications during its production life including two and four wheel drive trains, known as Carrera and Carrera 4 respectively. The 993 was the first generation 911 to have standard six-speed manual transmission.This iconic looking Porsche was manufactured in 1995 and spent most of its life in the dry state of California. Imported to the U.K in 2018 by the vendor, this low mileage example has been garaged since its arrival and used very rarely. Fitted with air conditioning, C.D. player, sunroof, electric adjustment for the seats and a category five tracking device, this left hand drive example is, we are told, a joy to drive. The road holding of these four wheel drive Porsches is legendary and this is no exception. Offered to auction with a file containing details of all the cars American service history, a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until 18th February 2022. This Porsche presents well in metallic silver which is complemented with a grey leather interior and is ready to go.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1996 Ferrari F355 Spider Transmission: manualMileage:35854The Ferrari F355 was manufactured between May 1994 and 1999 and was an evolution of the Ferrari 348. It is a mid-engined, rear wheel drive, V8 powered two seater coupé. At launch, two models were available; the Coupé Berlinetta and the Targa topped GTS. The Spider (convertible) version was introduced in 1995. One major difference between the longitudinal V8 in the 348 and that in the 355, apart from the displacement increase from 3.4 to 3.5 litres, is that the F355 features a five valve per cylinder head that is considerably more powerful, producing 375bhp. The nomenclature does not follow the formula from the previous decades, i.e. engine capacity plus cylinder number - for example, the Ferrari 308 name comes from three litres plus eight cylinders, with the same for the 328, 348, 512 etc. This time, Ferrari used engine capacity plus number of valves per cylinder; proud to boast about this technological advancement, with the name 355 coming from 3.5 litre engine capacity and five valves per cylinder. The F355 has become the most popular model so far with over 11,273 cars manufactured of which 3,843 were Spiders.This very good left hand drive 1996 Ferrari F355, fitted with the six speed manual gearbox, was supplied on 23rd May 1996 by Ferrari of Los Gatos in California. Whilst in the US the car only had two Californian owners and had only covered 35,000 miles from new before it was imported to the UK in February 2018 and put into storage. Finished in Giallo Fly with black leather interior, black hood and black hood cover, this F355 is supplied with original prancing horse wing shields, black brake calipers, tool bag and Ferrari car cover, and was fitted with a new cambelt at the end of 2020. It also comes with a UK V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in 2022 and a complete handbook pack. This lovely, ex-Californian Ferrari F355 represents good value for money and is in one of the most desirable Ferrari colour schemes.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1932 Austin 7 Gordon England Special Transmission: manualMileage:8324The Austin 7 is an economy car that was produced from 1923 until 1939 in the UK. It was nicknamed the ‘baby Austin’ and was, at that time, one of the most popular cars produced for the British market and also sold well abroad. Its effect on the British market was similar to that of the Model T Ford in the US.Herbert Austin's son-in-law, Arthur Waite, soon began to achieve remarkable sporting successes beginning at Brooklands in March 1923 and the next month at Monza. Another driver, E C Gordon England, persuaded Sir Herbert to provide him with a racing 7. Waite and Lou Kings (chief tester) then experienced a run of failure brought about by inadequate engine lubrication for racing conditions. Meanwhile, Gordon England, flushed with success from establishing six new class records at Brooklands, had built a special lightweight two-seater body weighing just 20lb and entered it in the 1100cc class for the Junior Car Club 200 mile race at Brooklands in October 1923. There Gordon England finished in second place and during the race won another five class records. Austin 7s were rebuilt as ‘specials’ after the Second World War, including the first race car built by Bruce McLaren, and the first Lotus, the Mk I. Companies such as Speedex in Luton thrived in the late 1950s by producing race-proven bodies and engine parts for the Seven chassis. The ‘Specials’ were more commonly used latterly as ‘mud pluggers’ in hillclimbing.This lovely little British classic is presented in the traditional blue vinyl body covering with grey wheel arches/runner boards and natural aluminium bonnet cover. It has a black interior and black hood, both of which are in good condition and has just had its wheels refurbished at vast expense, including new inner tubes fitted. It is powered by a lively 747cc four-cylinder engine mated to a three speed manual gearbox and is on the button! These are rare cars and certainly one in this condition should not be missed.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1965 AC Cobra Mk. III 427 SC Transmission: manualMileage:3011It was Carroll Shelby who was first to utilise the American V8 power unit, after racing in Europe in the late 1950s, he realised that a combination of a lightweight American V8 engine and a proven European chassis was a winning combination. He found that a Ford V8 installed in the chassis of an AC Ace was the answer, and thus birthing the Cobra. The car set new standards of performance for road cars and was highly effective in competition. The early cars featured a smaller capacity 260cu engine, which was later enlarged to 289cu. When fitted with ever more powerful engines, the cars’ chassis capabilities were stretched to the limit and Shelby approached Ford to take their concept a stage further.The old adage, 'Win on Sunday, sell on Monday' became a reality for Ford. Together with Shelby they were able to create a new chassis which had an entirely new frame, dubbed Mk. III, with all-independent suspension by coil springs and double wishbones. Clothing this new frame was virtually the same bodywork as the concurrent 427 ‘big block’ Cobra, which also shared a similar chassis design. This final flowering of the 289 model received the 4,727cc Ford V8 engine which produced 271bhp with a top speed of 138mph but of more importance was its 5.5 second 0-60mph sprint, very few cars in the world could match that in the 1960s. Just 27 examples of the Mk. III were built, making this the rarest series manufactured Cobra variant before production ended altogether at the end of 1968.COX6136 is one of very few examples originally supplied to the Unites States by Ford/AC Rep, Dave Wagner (The COX prefix denotes export). These examples were delivered without a powertrain and completed on arrival in the US. This example was completed by one of the world’s leading Cobra restorers, Bill Kemper who mimicked the well-known competition Cobra, CSX3018. The power unit fitted was a 1965 C5AE-H side oiler NASCAR engine with steel medium riser heads, coupled to a top loader close ratio four speed transmission. Also fitted was a 42 gallon S/C fuel tank and a correct 427 S/C interior. Finished in its original Guardsman Blue paintwork with a black roll-bar and black S/C side pipes, COX6136 shows a mere 3,011 miles on the odometer and comes complete with a sizeable history file. The history is recorded by the Shelby American World Registry and it has featured in several books, notably Trevor Legate's Classic Work on The Cobra. The Cobra comes complete with various sundry invoices, the current UK V5 Registration document and a tonneau cover.Offered by a prolific collector, the Cobra is reported to be in very good condition throughout and would enhance any serious collection. Very rarely do Mk. III Cobras come to the open market and even fewer are as good as this one. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1968 Morris Cooper S Mk. I (1275cc) Transmission: manualMileage:11226 To many, its designer Alec Issigonis included, the notion that the Mini might have a future as anything other than basic transport was anathema and 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 result, launched in September 1961, was the Mini Cooper, a car that offered a size/price/performance package that was nothing short of miraculous. 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 1,071cc Mini Cooper 'S' of 1963, took engine development a stage further and provided the basis for the 971 'S' and 1275 'S' of 1964.This attractive Cooper S version of the unmistakable Mini was manufactured in 1968 and has spent most of its life in the dry environment of New South Wales, Australia. Imported by its enthusiast owner in January 2017, this well presented Mini has been dry stored since its return and has seen minimal use. The classic colour combination of white with a retrimmed red interior is complemented with a black roof and a new set of silver and matt black wheels with Yokohama tyres. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document, this MoT test exempt example will certainly bring a lot of joy to any new owner. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2005 Bentley Arnage R Transmission: automaticMileage:51500The Bentley Arnage was launched in 1998, a large luxury saloon car that replaced the previous Bentley Turbo saloon. Built by Bentley Motors in Crewe, England from 1998 to 2009, the Arnage and its Rolls-Royce sibling named the Silver Seraph, were introduced in the Spring of 1998 and were the first entirely new designs for the two marques since 1980 when the Silver Spirit and Mulsanne models were introduced. In 2002, Bentley updated the Red Label as the series two Arnage R. This model was launched to contrast the Arnage T, which was developed to be a more sporty variant. The Arnage R features two Garrett T3 turbochargers fitted to the engine as with the RL. Bentley quote the Arnage R as being an unrivalled example of the Grand Touring philosophy, making every journey a unique experience of power, luxury and control. A place where two very different worlds are perfectly united. Tradition and technology in absolute harmony.This stunning, three previous owner, Peacock Blue example is offered with Cotswold leather interior trim, French Navy secondary hide and carpets. It also has the rare and expensive Centenary door panels; wood veneer inserts to the doors and sits on upgraded 20” Mulliner wheels with new Continental tyres. This example, when new, cost a staggering £164,500 and is presented in stunning order throughout. Boasting an MoT test certificate valid until May 2021, a comprehensive service history including 15 stamps in the service booklet, two keys and the original two umbrellas. Sitting in the rear with the heated rear seats is second only to the front sitting in an environment of stunning aesthetics and fingertip controls. An oasis from which to savour every nuance of the twin-turbocharged 6.75 litre V8 engine, with 400bhp at your command and a 0-60 of 5.9 seconds and a top speed limited to 155mph all in opulent luxury.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda Transmission: automaticMileage:45700In 1963, Mercedes-Benz debuted an all-new roadster to replace the 190 SL and 300 SL - the 230 SL. The 230 SL 'Pagoda' was a stunning Paul Bracq designed two-seat convertible that followed Mercedes' new design language, featuring crisp lines and upright headlights. To save on weight, the bonnet, doorskins, boot lid, and tonneau cover were all composed of aluminium. The nickname 'Pagoda' was quickly adopted thanks to the slightly concave roof on the optional removable hardtop that resembled a pagoda roof. In 1967, Mercedes introduced the third and final iteration of the 'Pagoda', the 280 SL, and it then became apparent that some cars don't change, they just get better. The 280 featured the same modified W111 chassis with a rear swing axle and independent front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Power came from a 2.8 litre version of Mercedes inline-six and used Bosch fuel injection. A charming model with capable handling and braking thanks to its suspension and all-wheel disc brakes. These roadsters also have one of the most beautiful bodies produced in the 1960s. Thanks to their robust inline-six and their luxurious Mercedes interior, they are wonderful cars to be driven and enjoyed.This excellent, right hand drive, 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda has been subject to a two-year ground-up restoration by marque specialists Red Castle Classics based near Cardiff in South Wales. Since the restoration which was completed four years ago this car has only driven 350 miles. The first owner is unknown but from October 1978 it was owned by Mr. McMinn of Surbiton, he sold it in 1982 to Mr. Simon Peters who kept the car for many years until the car was sold, by his then widow, to Mr. Max Walker in July 2010 who shipped the car to his home in Jersey where he changed the colour from gold to metallic grey and upgraded the interior to black leather. This 280 SL returned to the mainland in 2012. Purchased by the current owner in April 2016 to join his small collection of SLs, he sent it directly for the restoration to be completed. It is believed the mileage of 45,700 miles is correct and is supported by old MoT test certificates which date back to 1982 at 18,240 miles and bills from June 1979 at 2,608 miles. Now superbly finished in the Mercedes-Benz classic colour scheme of silver with red leather interior, this 280 SL roadster is supplied with a matching factory hardtop, the desirable third seat option and a Becker Mexico radio from 1971. Supplied with the car is a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in September 2021 and a file containing old MoT test certificates, sundry invoices including the invoice for the restoration at £80,000 plus VAT, the service book and the handbook. These Pagodas are always a pleasure to drive, particularly in good weather when the roof is down and the smooth six-cylinder engine can be enjoyed.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1969 Porsche 911S Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:72946Introduced at the 1963 Frankfurt Auto Show, Porsche’s all-new 911 drew instant acclaim. Like its predecessor, the long-running 356, it had a rear-mounted air-cooled ‘boxer’ engine, but where the 356 had four cylinders the 911S offered six, with single overhead camshafts and a displacement of 1,991cc. The engine produced 130bhp and a five-speed transmission was standard. Styling, reminiscent of the 356 but with up-to-date cues, was by Ferdinand ‘Butzi’ Porsche, grandson of the founder Ferdinand Porsche. In 1966, a performance model 911S was added to the line. Its engine had the same displacement as the 911 but had higher compression and was fed by twin Weber carburettors. The 911S delivered an impressive 180bhp. While the 356 was notable for its longevity in the marketplace, the 911 has proved nearly immortal.Originally ordered for the United States, this 911S was imported into the United Kingdom in 2004 and has been in long term ownership by the vendor since October 2008. The MoT test certificate history shows how little this example has been used since his acquisition. This left hand drive version of the iconic Porsche 911 presents well in silver metallic with a charcoal interior and comes with a comprehensive service folder containing various bills and receipts for works completed. We are advised by the vendor that there are no known faults with the car and that she is a joy to drive. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document, this MoT test certificate exempt Porsche is one of the more sought after examples. Good quality examples are rare and highly desirable and CHJ 360G is certainly one of those. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1968 Chevrolet Corvette C3 427ci Transmission: automaticMileage:90000This rare NCRS Top Flight 1968 Corvette Coupé is presented in Silverstone Silver with a black interior and is powered by its original matching numbers IM-L68, 427 cubic inch 400 bhp engine with correct numbers, fitted with 3x2 Holley carburettors, all of this is mated to a four-speed transmission.Boasting air conditioning, tinted glass, power steering, power brakes and complete with the original tank sticker, this car is in impeccable condition and we are informed in perfect working order. The paint is described as flawless; indeed the entire vehicle is in incredible concours condition including the undercarriage and frame.Built in early March 1968 it is believed only 116 Corvettes were built with the 427ci /400hp block mated to a four-speed gearbox. Understood to have had just three owners, the current owner has had the vehicle for 10 years. It appears to have a genuine 90,000 miles on the odometer, substantiated by the original owner’s personal maintenance notes in the Owner’s Manual which contains hand-written maintenance notes to 77,280 miles.This stunning car received an NCRS Top Flight award in 2004 and again in 2019; an award which was created by the National Corvette Restorers Society in 1974 to recognise cars that have been preserved or restored to the highest level of achievement through the NCRS Flight Judging Process. The overall score was 96.48% in 2004 and the deficits noted on the judging sheets have been corrected as noted in available documents. In September 2018, the vehicle was treated to a refresh in excess of $21,000 which included an overhaul or replacement of all major systems, key components and appearance items; receipts for which are included in the history file.Provenance is provided by way of the original tank sticker, Owner’s Manual with original owner’s maintenance notes, 2004 NCRS Regional Top Flight certificate judging sheets, receipts from the 2004 restoration and complete documentation of the freshening completed in September 2018 at Masterworks Corvette in Madison Heights, Michigan. Masterworks was founded by Werner Meier, a General Motors engineer/manager who spent over 25 years in the Corvette group and earned him admittance in the Corvette Hall of Fame and also an NCRS senior judge and group judge at the Concours D’Elegance of America. Regarded as one of the best in the world at Corvette judging and restoration, Werner restored dozens of notable Corvettes, some of which have been on display at the National Corvette Museum. Few people understand, or know how to, restore Corvettes as this man does.During restoration, only the highest quality rebuilt, N.O.S. or premium reproduction parts were used, and no unknown manufacturers were utilised as sources. In the latest restoration, the major systems of the car were replaced, overhauled or repaired including the intake manifold and removal of the oil pan and internals inspected. The compression check was very good with all cylinders registering between 108-116 psi on the 1st cycle, and 128-135 psi on the 3rd cycle. The oil pan, oil pan gaskets and rear main engine seal were replaced. Push rods, lifters, rocker arms, etc. were inspected and found to be in good condition.The transmission and rear axle were overhauled by a GM engineer and all parts found to be out-of-spec or visibly worn were replaced and the internal specs were checked and corrected. The factory specified rear axle ratio of 3.08:1 was changed to 3.36:1 during restoration (the speedo gear was also changed and is accurate to +1 mph) - this change allowed the vehicle to perform better than it did as new but can easily be returned to the original 3.08:1 ratio with little cost or effort. U-joints, driveshaft, axles were inspected, found to be in good condition and marked with appropriate paint.The brake system was extensively redone with new vacuum booster, master cylinder, master cylindercover (with bail tag), calipers, and pads. The fluid was replaced and discs were refaced. The carburettors were replaced with N.O.S. units with correct date codes, before fuel lines/blocks, linkage, cable, choke coil/cover and brackets were replaced.Key electrical components were replaced, the entire interior was removed and each assembly was then inspected and replaced if function or appearance were compromised before painted items received fresh paint. All key electrical switches were replaced and even the FM/AM radio, speakers, speaker wires, fresh air outlets replaced. The front and rear suspension was inspected, aligned and placed in spec and shocks were replaced. The tyres are correct reproduction from original moulds as red line bias-ply Sup-R-Belt - a rare option only available on late production cars.The paint and chrome appear factory new and gives the appearance of being dipped in a liquid coating. The panel fit is as original and we are informed there is no damage to body or trim and no missing trim.After the 2018 work this example was imported to the UK where in 2019 it gained a fresh NCRS Top Flight award, and in the face of much stricter criteria than in previous years it achieved an impressive overall score of 97.4 %. Offered with the dealer-installed accessory luggage rack together with a comprehensive history file, this Corvette gives an accurate impression of what the car would have looked like when new 50 years ago. With its impressive looks and performance, the quality of this car is targeted at the Corvette enthusiast who does not want to compromise on their investment but instead wants a verifiable, documented history of responsible ownership and restoration as befits one of America’s true sports cars.Ready for showing or just for recreational driving, opportunities to own such a desirable car are rare and the new owner would undoubtedly be the envy of every Corvette enthusiast.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1959 Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:21934Despite having a family resemblance to the XK120 and XK140, the XK150 was radically modernised. A one-piece windscreen replaced the split screen and the wing line no longer dropped as much over the doors. The bonnet was widened, opened down to the wings and on the roadster, the bulkhead was moved back four inches to make the bonnet longer. In the interior, the XK140's walnut dashboard was replaced by one trimmed in leather and chrome. On the early drophead coupés, an aluminium centre dash panel with an ‘X’ pattern engraving was fitted which looked similar to the early 3.8 E-Type. It was discontinued after June 1958. The standard engine, the same as fitted to the XK140, was the 3.4 litre DOHC Jaguar straight six rated at 180bhp at 5750rpm. These were high performance, well-appointed sports touring cars capable of 137mph and 0-60 in 7.8 seconds and could accomplish long distances with comfort and in great style.This superb Jaguar was manufactured in 1959 as a genuine UK registered right hand drive example. However it was built as a coupé and was professionally converted to a drophead coupé to exacting standards some years later. Mechanically, the car has also been sensibly modified; the engine upgraded to ‘S’ specification which is fuelled by a trio of two-inch SU carburettors. She also benefits from a high torque starter motor, twin fuel pumps, an alternator, high volume radiator and a stainless steel exhaust system. The gearbox is a five-speed Getrag unit and this is linked to an S-Type rear axle with a limited slip differential. To be expected, the brakes have been upgraded to four-pot Coopercraft front calipers and the suspension has adjustable Spax shock absorbers all round. Sitting proudly on 15” chrome wire wheels, perhaps the most significant upgrade is power steering making this XK150 a delight to drive. Finished in British Racing Green with magnolia interior and a tan hood, this delightful example is a joy to drive and will easily keep up with modern day traffic.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1969 Shelby GT350 Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:92116The Shelby Mustang is a high-performance variant of the Ford Mustang which was built by Shelby American from 1965 to 1968, and from 1969 to 1970 by Ford. The earliest of cars are often called Cobras using the Cobra emblem and the optional Cobra valve covers on many GT350s that were part of a marketing tie-in by Shelby with the AC Cobra models produced by Shelby, as well as one of his iconic symbols. Beginning as a stock Mustang with a four-speed manual transmission and nine-inch live rear axle, the cars were shipped to Shelby American, where they received the high-riser manifolds, Tri-Y headers, and were given larger Ford Galaxie rear drum brakes with metallic-linings and Kelsey-Hayes front disc brakes. In 1965, the GT350 was not built for comfort or ease of driving, there were 34 GT350R race-spec cars built specifically for competition use under SCCA rules, and the model was the B-Production champion for three straight years however by 1966 the GT350 was more comfortable for casual drivers, including rear seats, optional colours, and an optional automatic transmission. This trend for more options and luxuries continued in the following years, with the cars becoming progressively more comfortable.The 1965 and 1966 GT350s were delivered from Ford's San Jose assembly plant in body and white form for modification by Carroll Shelby's operation, originally in Venice Beach and later at Los Angeles International Airport. The only year that the Shelby Mustangs from the 1960s came from another plant was 1968, where they came from New Jersey, this was denoted by the ‘T’ in the VIN and they were modified by A.O. Smith.In 1969 the GTs lost their Cobra tag and were marketed simply as the Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT500 receiving an extensive face lift, the body alone increasing in length. Ford was involved with design and style decisions, with Shelby having less input but the GT350 was now equipped with a 351 cubic-inch V8 and this was the last of the Shelby Mustangs as Carroll Shelby terminated his agreement with Ford in the summer of 1969.This matching numbers Shelby GT350 convertible is presented in Acapulco Blue with contrasting black trim and knit vinyl Hi-Back bucket seats with a white power-hood to match the famous Shelby racing stripes. The car boasts both power steering and air conditioning and the 351-4V V8 engine is mated to the matching GT350 select shift automatic transmission. GT equipment included, power front disc brakes, deluxe interior, a SelectAire AM/8 track stereo radio, tinted glass, deluxe belts and colour keyed racing mirrors. This car was owned by a Californian collector for some 30 years and six years ago he decided to embark on a full $200,000 restoration, sadly upon nearing the completion he passed away. Our vendor recently completed the restoration upon its arrival in the UK which included a new hood this year and over £10,000 of bills from Speed shop and Mustang Maniac found within the history file. The restoration included a complete disassembly with the bodyshell properly refinished inside and out to an understandably high quality.The 351 V8 engine was fully re-machined in Fresno, California by Daves Performance Motors. This all-matching example as such presents immaculately, firing up immediately with that renowned V8 growl. It is believed that only 194 1969 Shelby’s exist and this is one of those few produced before Shelby left Ford. With over $200,000 invested, this Shelby GT350 convertible represents a serious bargain. Offered with a Marti Report in the history file, this striking Shelby GT350 Convertible deserves serious consideration by any collector, especially those with a hunkering for muscle cars.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda Transmission: manualMileage:22600The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production till February 1971. The 280 SL had a powerful 2.8 litre inline six-cylinder engine, the bonnet, boot lid, door skins and tonneau cover were made of aluminium to reduce weight. The comparatively short and wide chassis, combined with an excellent suspension, powerful brakes and radial tyres gave the W113 superb handling for its time. The styling of the front paid homage to the legendary 300 SL with its characteristic upright Bosch ‘fishbowl’ headlights and simple chrome grille, dominated by the large three-pointed star in the nose panel.In very good order throughout, this 280 SL Pagoda was delivered new to California, USA, and was purchased in the UK by the most recent vendor in 2008, who kept it in the South of France. After some 18 months, the vendor moved to Florida, USA, taking the Mercedes with her before shipping the car back to the UK in 2015. It is believed the car was extensively re-sprayed in Florida in 2014, and still presents in very good order throughout. The coachwork, engine bay and interior are all in very good condition with very few minor blemishes. Offered in the desirable colour combination of resplendent red over a tan leather hide interior the 280SL comes complete with a small history file including import documents, the current V5 registration document and various sundry invoices. This well-presented Pagoda, being the more desirable and powerful 280 model with its larger capacity engine, benefits from both its soft and hardtop. Nothing else needs to be said other than this Pagoda is one of the finest we have seen and is ready to be used and enjoyed by a new custodian.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1967 Jaguar Mk. II (3.8 Litre) Saloon Transmission: manualMileage:83912Launched in 1959, the Jaguar Mk. II offered a noticeably improved driving experience over its predecessor courtesy of revised front suspension geometry, widened rear suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Improvements were achieved by increasing the cabin glass area by almost 20%, while narrower front and central body pillars gave the car a more refined appearance. The evergreen Jaguar XK engine was employed once again, with a 220bhp, 3.8 litre high-performance version as used in the Mk. IV saloon, this engine being used for the first time in a mid-range Jaguar saloon, in addition to the 2.4 and 3.4 litre engine options carried over from the Mk. I. With spirited 125mph performance, including a 0-60mph time of 8.5 seconds, the 3.8 litre was immediately in demand and the manual gearbox equipped examples remain amongst the most desirable.This beautiful, well-loved and truly cherished Jaguar Mk. II 3.8 litre with a manual gearbox, power steering and wire wheels is one of the last right hand drive examples to be manufactured. Supplied new by New Zealand premier Jaguar dealers, Shorters Cars, in Auckland to its first owner, Mr. Harvey Hingston on 30th November 1967. This example was ordered new in deep gloss black with a tasteful oxblood red leather interior. In 1985, Mr. David Shorter acquired the car back and kept it for 25 years. The last owner, one of New Zealand’s largest classic car collectors, Mr. Grant Baker purchased it and in 2011 the car was sent to International Motorsport and over the next twelve mounts they did a complete restoration costing over NZ $110,000, repainting it in the original colour but retaining the very good red leather interior. This car was imported to the UK in 2016 and the new owner, Mr. John Rivers who spent over £2,500 on works which included replacing the power steering rack, alternator upgrade, manual choke and fitting electronic ignition. This Jaguar Mk. II is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in December 2021, a Heritage Certificate showing that it is a matching numbers car, the original handbook and a large file containing invoices going back to 1970, details of the 2011/12 restoration and invoices for the work carried out it the UK. This is without doubt one of the finest Mk. IIs offered to market in recent years and would rightfully deserve its place in any major Jaguar collection.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1970 Triumph TR6 Transmission: manualMileage:76170 Genuine UK supplied example Significant mechanical work carried out recently Comes with a hardtop   The Triumph TR6 was manufactured for seven years from 1969 and by the time production came to an end in July 1976, it was the best-seller of the TR range. The bodywork closely resembled that of the previous model, the Triumph TR5, however the front and rear were squared off and all TR6s featured inline six-cylinder engines. For the US market, the engine was fitted with carburettors whilst, for other world markets including the UK, the TR6 was fitted with fuel-injection. It featured a four-speed manual gearbox, independent rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, 15" wheels and tyres, pile carpet on the floors and boot, bucket seats and a full complement of instruments. In total 94,619 TR6s were built of which 86,249 were sold overseas and only 8,370 were sold in the UK. Originally registered on 4th September 1970, this TR6 presents in delightful condition throughout. With four former keeper and relatively low mileage, it is clear this Triumph has been well cared for throughout its 51 years on British roads. A genuine UK example and still bearing the original fuel injection system which has been overhauled recently, other mechanical work carried out recently includes rebuilding the engine and overhauling the braking system. All the bills for the work carried out are in the history folder, which includes a V5C registration document; a Heritage Certificate and an MoT test certificate valid until 24th March 2022. This 150bhp example is finished in green with black interior; the bodywork is in good order showing no signs of corrosion, the soft top is in good condition and she comes with a tonneau cover and a hardtop. This Triumph TR6 is a good genuine thoroughly useable example. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1973 Jaguar E-Type Series III Coupé 2+2 Transmission: automaticMileage:87704There is no denying the legendary status that is enjoyed by the Jaguar E-Type, from its arrival on the motoring scene in 1961 until the final car was built in 1975, this sports car from Coventry had an impact that is still felt today. Even with its sportscar heritage, Jaguar depended on saloon vehicles for its survival and had developed its twelve-cylinder engine to power them with sufficient torque and refinement. Larger and softer in nature with weight redistributed 53/47, the Series III had lost the wilds of its youth but gained the long-legged touring profile to which it was arguably better suited.Originally registered in July 1973, this 2+2 coupé presents well in Primrose Yellow with cream leather upholstery. This usable automatic example benefits from a Webasto sunroof and has been owned by the vendor since 2005. During her tenure this car has been used infrequently and always dry stored. The history file for this classic Coventry cat contains recent servicing work, a V5C registration document and, although exempt, a fresh MoT test certificate. Realistically estimated this Jaguar offers an opportunity to own a most iconic British classic.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1992 Jaguar XJ220 Transmission: manualMileage:22691The story behind the Jaguar XJ220 is an inspiring one.  Professor Jim Randall, the head of Jaguar's engineering department, started the ball rolling by sketching out some ideas whilst on a Christmas holiday in the 1980's.  It was the stuff of fantasies - V12, 4WD, slippery body with ground effects.  Together with colleagues in the 'Saturday Club' at Jaguar (so called because they met out of hours and at weekends to work on unofficial pet projects) they toyed with the idea until Jaguar started getting genuinely excited by the idea and official plans were put in place to build what was to be the fastest ever road car at the time.The Birmingham Motor Show in 1988 saw the unveiling of the powered concept with the design featuring a V12, fuel injected, 48 valve 530BHP engine delivering its output to all four wheels. As expected, orders came flooding in, even with the necessary £50,000 deposit required to go on the waiting list. However, when the car came to fruition some four years later the economy had change dramatically and so had the car. The V12 became a V6 twin turbo, effectively the Metro 6R4 powerplant and the four-wheel drive became two-wheel drive. Unsurprisingly, many orders were cancelled and deposits returned. However, the use of the V6 allowed the chassis to be shortened, although the proportions of this car are still truly impressive.  The engine sits behind the two-seat cabin, with a tiny boot available behind that.  The styling is heavily influenced by the need to cool the highly tuned engine and also to provide sufficient downforce to keep the car steady at the 217mph top speed. Delivered on 14th December 1992, this XJ220 was registered to Mr. Jean Blaton in Belgium and has covered 22,699km (circa 14,100 miles) from new. The car has been through periods whereby it was used and well serviced by British Auto Center in Antwerp, by JaguarSport Ltd in Banbury and by Jaguar Cars in Browns Lane. Supplied with a NOVA certificate, it would appear the car has previously been registered in the UK which would make obtaining a UK registration number and document a relatively straight forward process. Finished in Silverstone Green Metallic with grey leather interior, this lefthand drive example has recently been recommissioned by Don Law, the XJ220 guru. Work included a six-year service, new timing belts, replacing all the seals and gaskets on the engine, overhauling and re-sealing the brake system, as well as other additional work. The total invoice cost was £61,760.03. This work was completed in October 2020. Now presenting in first class order and ‘ready to go’, car number 97 from Jaguar’s limited production run is sure to bring much joy to the new owner.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1971 Jaguar E-Type Series III 2+2 Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:76220By the mid-1960s, the Jaguar E-Type was appealing to the man with a young family but who were restricted by the size of the current Jaguar E-Type Coupé and its open topped sibling. This prompted Jaguar to offer a third option in the form of a 2+2 Coupé. By adding nine inches to the wheelbase and two inches in height, it was then possible to fit a rear seat capable of seating two adults in tolerable comfort. Of course the rear seat was more suited to children or, as 'The Motor' put it at the time, the car could 'extend Dad's youth for another seven years'. Robert Bell in Motor was quoted as saying at the time that all we expected to try was a new engine but what in fact we drove was a new car. Not a yowling, aggressive Ferrari-like machine with which, perhaps, most people associate a V12 engine but a very smooth, quiet and refined grand touring sports car.Manufactured on 3rd March 1971, this E-Type was built as a left hand drive model and was intended to be sold in Italy. However as the Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirms, this order was cancelled and the car remained with Jaguar Cars. The car appears to have undergone a colour change from light blue to British Racing Green and converted to right hand drive before it was finally despatched to Coombs in Guildford on 30th March 1973. Presenting now in very good order throughout, this E-Type starts on the button and runs exceedingly well; these long-legged tourers are ideal for a trip to the coast or to the South of France. With only four previous keepers, this Jaguar has clearly been very well cared for. The beige leather trim complements the exterior colour and she also has a full length Webasto sunroof. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a good history folder, this classically dynamic design is still a head turner. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1963 Facel Vega II Transmission: manualMileage:49988Built by one of France’s most famous manufacturers of high-speed grand tourers, the Facel II continued the marque’s tradition of American performance coupled with French styling. Powered by a 355bhp, Chrysler V8, the four-seater Facel II could sprint from 0-60mph in 7.8 seconds and achieve a top speed of 134mph while carrying its passengers in total luxury. This intoxicating experience made the Facel II one of the most desirable cars of early 1960s society. Approximately 180 of the Vega II were manufactured between 1962 and 1964. In its relatively short life, the French firm of Facel produced around 2,900 cars, all of which were stylish, luxurious and fast. Hand-built, they were, of course, necessarily very expensive, the Vega II was priced in Rolls-Royce territory and were bought by the rich and famous seeking something exclusive and distinctive. Founded by Jean Daninos in 1939, Forges et Ateliers de Construction d'Eure-et-Loir (FACEL) specialised in the construction of aircraft components and metal furniture. After the war, the company engaged in the supply of car bodies to Panhard, Simca and Ford France before branching out into automobile manufacture in its own right with the launch of the Vega at the 1954 Paris Motor Show. Government legislation had effectively killed off France's few surviving luxury car manufacturers after the Second World War but that did not deter Jean Daninos in his bold attempt to revive what had once been a great French motoring tradition. A luxurious grande routière, the Vega featured supremely elegant coupé bodywork welded to a tubular-steel chassis. The roll call of esteemed owners includes royalty, politicians, diplomats and entertainers such as: Tony Curtis, Danny Kaye, Joan Fontaine, Ava Gardner and Ringo Starr as well as great motor racing figures such as Sir Stirling Moss, Maurice Trintignant and Rob Walker.Originally registered on 16th April 1963, this car was on the Facel stand for the London Motor Show and an interesting, yet slightly chequered history, accompanies this Vega. We do know this vehicle was for sale in Roy Salvadori’s showroom on the A3 and appears to have been sold and financed by Southern Organs who were part of a relatively large Hire Purchase scam. In 1972, the car was owned by a Jon Wilson who was detained in H.M. Prison in Cardiff. A letter in the file, written by Mr. Wilson authorises a Mr. Angelo Papacosta to sell the car on his behalf. Little is known of the cars whereabouts after then, however we are aware the car spent some 25 years in a barn where she was recovered from in 2017.This Facel Vega II is one of only 26 right hand drive examples manufactured. In need of total restoration in 2017 it has spent the last two years undergoing a painstaking restoration with 125 hours spent on the paintwork alone, culminating in the stunning example presented today. It has a 383ci Chrysler engine mated to a TorqueFlite automatic transmission and is finished in, what is thought to be, its original factory colour of grey with red leather trim. Fitted with power steering and rare chromed disc wheels, the interior of this handsome Facel is an area of beauty, the magnificent dashboard is akin to a piece of furniture. Supplied with a UK V5C registration certificate and early duplicate buff logbook coupled to a bill of sale from A. Papacosta and accompanying correspondence in October 1972 and an MoT test certificate from the following year.Also present are copies of the UK Facel sales data, an article written about the car and its owners in 2015 by the Facel Vega Car Club and cuttings from tales of the infamous previous ownership which is a thoroughly interesting read and much of the provenance for this fabulous motorcar.These are very stylish cars and are relatively simple mechanically, Jean Daninos was once quoted as saying The HK500 was the most interesting car we ever made but the Facel II was the best. It was totally elegant. This Facel Vega II offers excellent value given the rarity and to this day is seen as one of the most iconic pieces of automotive design.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1965 Jaguar E-Type Series I Coupé (3.8 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:75671Launched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type 3.8 litre was nothing short of a revelation. With its heady blend of supercar performance, breathtaking styling and low price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. Early sportscar racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement its reputation. Built as a monocoque with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent road holding and handling capabilities. After that, the floors were dished to provide more leg room and the bonnet latches moved inside the car, the E-type remains for many the ultimate production Jaguar.Registered on 28th July 1964, this beautiful E-Type presents in fabulous condition. The car was originally registered in Jersey and has only had two keepers from new. A two year major restoration project took place between 2012 and 2014 resulting in one of the finest E-Types we have seen. The underside of the car is as clean as the top and the panel gaps confirm that the restoration carried out is of the highest quality. Finished in the original colour combination of Opalescent Golden Sand with red leather interior, this genuine UK right hand drive example has to be viewed in person to appreciate the quality. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1991 Honda NSX Transmission: automaticMileage:34772The Honda NSX was produced between 1990 and 2005 and is equipped with a mid-engined, rear-wheel drive layout powered by an all-aluminium V6 featuring Honda's Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) system. In 1984, Honda commissioned the Italian car designer Pininfarina to design the HPX (Honda Pininfarina Experimental), which had a mid-mounted 2.0 litre, V6 configuration. Following Honda's decision to pursue the project, the management informed the engineers that the new car would have to be as good as anything coming from both Italy and Germany. The HPX concept car evolved into the NSX (New Sportscar experimental). The original performance target for the NSX was the Ferrari 328; subsequently revised to the 348 as the design neared completion. The bodywork design had been specifically researched after studying the 360° visibility inside an F-16 fighter jet. The car's strong chassis, rigidity and handling capabilities were the results of Ayrton Senna's input with NSX's chief engineers while testing the prototype car at Honda's Suzuka Circuit during the development stages. Today, the NSX is still considered by owners of the marque as one of the most reliable exotic cars ever manufactured with many examples comfortably exceeding 100,000 miles without serious reliability issues.This superb example is presented in black with a black leather and Alcantara interior which is in wonderful original condition. The car has covered only 34,772 Kms from new and is powered by the smooth 3.0 litre Honda engine which is mated to an automatic gearbox. The car was imported from Japan (as were many of these models) and has been lovingly looked after and lightly used ever since. It was purchased by the present owner in 2017 from a well-known garage in London. The car comes with its original Japanese history as well as a fully stamped service book from the UK and all MoT test certificates which confirms light and consistent use over the last few years. A recent service was carried out at a Honda main dealer which included a cambelt service. Its superb and totally relevant registration number is included with the car and it is fitted with a Global Telemetrics tracker which can be monitored via an app. This car is an appreciating classic that can be driven every day, without the problems associated with many classic sports cars. Equally capable of being driven from home to the shops on a Sunday morning, or a blast down to the South of France. The car has also recently undergone a meticulous and thorough detailing, which has resulted in it looking absolutely stunning throughout.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1963 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster (3.8 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:41419Introduced in 1961, the Jaguar E-Type caused a sensation when it appeared with its instantly classic lines and 150mph top speed. While, inevitably, the car's stupendous straight-line performance and gorgeous looks grabbed the headlines, there was a lot more to the E-Type beneath the skin. The newcomer's design owed much to that of the racing D-Type and, indeed, the E-Type would be one of the last great sports cars developed directly from a successful competition ancestor. Just as in the D-Type, a monocoque tub formed the main body/chassis structure while a tubular space frame extended forwards to support the engine. The latter was the same 3.8 litre, triple-carburettor, 'S' unit first offered as an option on the preceding XK150. With a claimed 265 horsepower on tap, the E-Type's performance did not disappoint. Mainly because it weighed around 500lb less than the XK150 but also, because aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer used experience gained with the D-Type to create one of the most elegant and efficient shapes ever to grace a motor car.Delivered new in 1963, this wonderful matching numbers example is finished in the very elegant colour combination of British Racing Green over a tan leather interior and comes complete with the desirable factory hardtop. Presented in its original left hand drive guise, this E-Type is fitted with an aluminium dashboard and centre console. Professionally restored by marque specialists it has undergone a full bare metal respray as well as a complete interior retrim, including a new hood and, consequently, presents fabulously. During the restoration, this Jaguar was treated to an engine, gearbox, and rear differential rebuild undertaken by Rushton Engineering Ltd and as such is in very good order throughout. This very well-presented example comes complete with a history file detailing the restoration, many sundry invoices and the current UK registration document. The perfect candidate for those long-distance continental tours or that summer trip to the south of France.  Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1937 Ford V8 Model 78 Saloon Transmission: manualMileage:72449The V8 engine was no novelty when Henry Ford introduced the Ford V8 in 1932, but never before had such an engine been produced successfully in large numbers and at so low a price. Styling followed the lines of the superseded Model A, but with an extra 25bhp on tap the newcomer boasted a level of performance in an entirely different league. Engine development proceeded at a brisk pace and by the mid-1930s the V8’s initial problems had been overcome and maximum power raised to 85bhp. A new X-member double-drop chassis on a longer (112”) wheelbase, introduced for 1933, was the first significant improvement made to the running gear, while the first major styling makeover arrived on the 1935 season’s models. ‘Greater beauty, greater comfort and greater safety,’ enthused Ford’s advertising, alluding to a range that had been restyled to be both lower and more streamlined.By this time Ford’s sole model, the V8 was also built in its overseas factories and the right hand drive V8 offered here is an example of the 3.6 litre Model 78, of which 4,331 were manufactured in the UK between January 1937 and June 1938.This car once formed part of John Mould’s ‘Paradise Collection’. Some work was carried out by a previous owner some years ago, which included the fitting of a new dynamo, battery, electrical and brake components, plus a small amount of paintwork renovation. The car is reported to start and drive well, with the owner stating that it ‘glides down the road as it should with the smooth 3.6 litre V8 sounding fantastic’. Finished in blue with brown interior, which is in wonderful condition including the dashboard which looks as new and with suicide doors, this car is offered with a current V5 registration document and being a rare right hand drive model, this makes it a rare useable classic on our roads.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1987 BMW M5 Transmission: manualMileage:174000 The BMW M5 is a high performance variant of the BMW 5 Series marketed under the BMW M sub-brand. It is considered an iconic vehicle and the majority of M5s have been produced in the saloon body style, but in some countries the M5 was also available as an estate. The first M5 model was hand-built in 1985 on the E28 535i chassis with a modified engine from the M1 that made it the fastest production saloon at the time. M5 models have been produced for every generation of the 5 Series since 1985.M5 variants have been produced for every generation of the 5 series since 1985 in various guises via the E28 and E34 continuing through to the present day. Between March 1986 and November 1988 only 185 RH drive E28, hand built cars were produced as designated for the UK market with the top spec engine and full body kit. They are regarded as an iconic model of which very few original examples survive today.This extremely rare BMW drives like a car that belies its mileage. The enjoyable driving experience is a credit to the service work completed by the current owner. A record winning racing driver, he is not only a well-known face on the circuit but also only the second owner of D42 NKO. This BMW comes with an impressive list of works done ‘in house’ by the vendors team. The MoT test history for the car confirms very little use since 2014 at which time the car was placed in dry storage. More recently this BMW has enjoyed a comprehensive recommissioning that has seen the fitting of a new fuel pump and filters, the checking of all injectors to ensure an even spray of fuel, the fitting of a new main section of exhaust system, an overhaul of the braking system including new discs to the front and two new front tyres. Presented to auction with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until 21st January 2022, this handsome BMW is realistically estimated for such a rare car with tremendous investment potential. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2000 Jaguar XJ8 (3.2 Litre) Transmission: manualMileage:37209Jaguar XJ is the designation used for the series of luxury saloons sold under the British marque. The first XJ was launched in 1968 and the designation has been used for successive Jaguar flagship models ever since. The original model was the last Jaguar saloon to have had the input of Sir William Lyons, the company's founder. With the introduction of the X308 generation in 1997 came a switch from the 'XJ6' nomenclature to 'XJ8', reflecting the fact that the X308 cars were powered by a new V8 engine. The exterior styling of the X308 was like its predecessor the X300, with minor refinements such as a change to oval indicator lenses and round fog lights. The interior was also updated to eliminate the instrument binnacle used on the X300, instead, three large gauges were set into recesses in the walnut faced dashboard in front of the driver. The major mechanical change was the replacement of both the inline-six and V12 engines with new eight-cylinder V8 in either 3.2 litre or 4.0 litre versions. Manual transmission was not available with X308 models only a five-speed automatic gearbox.This example is finished in black with contrasting grey leather interior both of which are in good condition. The car comes with electric windows, electric seats and air conditioning with climate control. It is important to note that this luxurious Jaguar comes with a full service history which is documented, at regular intervals, from 25th September 2000 until the last recorded service in March 2018. An invoice in the history file also shows a speedometer change in 2005 at 14,063 miles. These are wonderful family saloons offering the pinnacle of luxury that Jaguar afforded at that time and at a fraction of its original cost, this example represents great value for money.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1922 Studebaker Light Six Tourer Transmission: manualMileage:Established as a buggy company before the Civil War, Studebaker entered the automotive business in 1904, building bodies for chassis supplied by Garford of Elyria, Ohio. By 1913, the company was building its own cars, beginning a tradition of well-built automobiles from South Bend, Indiana, that would continue for the next 51 years. By the time Studebaker moved to Canada in 1964, it was the country’s oldest automobile manufacturer and among the longest surviving car manufactures in the world. The Light Six was in production for seven years, with modern bodywork and styling making this a highly desirable vehicle to own. More than 200,000 were manufactured by Studebaker. This interesting Studebaker was stripped down to the bare chassis by a father and son. It was then fully rebuilt to a very good standard using either new or remanufactured parts. At the same time, a Morris Minor 1000 A-series engine was fitted together with an alternator. This modification means this Studebaker is very reliable and fun to drive. She has been wrapped in blue as the car was required for some film work; underneath the wrapping the colour is white. The blue wrap can easily be removed and the car could be a great edition to a wedding car company, particularly in view of the engine modification. This great looking American classic is UK registered, tax exempt and ready to enjoy immediately.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1979 Ford Capri MK. III 3.0S Transmission: manualMileage:93408The Ford Capri was manufactured from 1969 through to 1986. It was designed by American, Philip T. Clark, who was famous for being one of the main designers of the Ford Mustang. Using the mechanical components from the Cortina and intended as the European equivalent of the Mustang for the European markets, the Capri went on to be a highly successful car for Ford and sold nearly 1.9 million units in its lifetime. A wide variety of engines were used in the Capri, throughout its production lifespan, which most notably included the Essex and Cologne V6 engines at the top of the range, whilst the Kent straight-four and Pinto engines were used in lower specification models. Although the Capri was not officially replaced by any Ford model, the second-generation Probe was effectively its replacement after the later car's introduction to the European market in 1992.Originally registered on 1st August 1980, this stunning Capri is finished in the great colour combination of black with period correct Carla cloth interior. Subject to an extensive restoration which included taking care of all the bodywork, interior trim and an engine rebuild. This 3.0S is superb in every way, turn the key and fire up the three litre Essex engine and you are immediately greeted with the familiar sound of this great power plant. We are advised on the road this car drives as good as she looks, the manual gearbox operating smoothly and efficiently through the gears. Supplied with a V5C registration document, a full years MoT test certificate and a substantial history file including receipts for the restoration and engine rebuild. This car is simply made to drive and enjoy but equally just to look at and admire. It is without doubt a classic machine.  Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1989 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:74000Mercedes-Benz have been producing an SL model or range of models since 1954. The similarly styled but mechanically unrelated 190 followed in 1955, completing the first generation of cars. The second generation SL's began with the 230 in 1963. It was distinguished by its lower waistline, big curved screens and a distinctive optional hardtop that earned the model its nickname of `pagoda top'. Over its nine years of production, the second generation SL's engine grew in capacity from 2.3 litre (230 SL) to 2.5 litre (250 SL) and finally to a 2.8 litre (280 SL). The larger, third generation SL was launched in 1971, initially with just a 3.5-litre engine (350 SL) mated to four-speed automatic transmission. The car featured a two-door monocoque body shell with independent suspension all round, coil springs and anti-roll bar at the front, semi-trailing arms, coil springs and anti-roll bar at the rear. The power assisted steering was Daimler-Benz's own re-circulating ball system. Over its 17 year reign, the R107 range was powered by no less than eight different engines - two sizes of straight-six unit and six versions of 90-degree V8 including the three litre straight six we have offered here produced from 1985.Originally registered on 25th January 1989, this Mercedes-Benz presents in very good order throughout. The light metallic blue coachwork is in very good order and is complemented by a blue interior that is again in exceedingly good order. The wheels are unmarked having been recently refurbished at the same time new tyres were fitted. The blue mohair hood appears to have been replaced quite recently; clearly this is a car that has been very well cared for throughout its life. A well stamped service book accompanies this 300 SL, as does a V5C registration document, 21 previous MoT test certificates and invoices dating back to when the car was first registered. The 2962cc straight-six engine is a very reliable unit and offers reasonable economy figures. Manufactured in the final year of 107 production, these cars were fully galvanised, therefore did not suffer from the corrosion issues of early models. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1971 Ford Capri Mk. I 3000E Transmission: manualMileage:9865Inspired by the success of the Mustang ‘Pony Car’ in the USA, Ford introduced a new model in 1968 for the European market, the Capri, ‘the car you’ve always promised yourself’. The Capri’s imaginative fastback styling was a relatively new departure for Ford, but beneath the lovely body design it remained typically Ford, sharing engines, gearboxes and many other components with the rest of the Ford range. Engines available from the start of production in January 1969 consisted of Kent 1300cc and 1600cc inline four-cylinder units, soon followed by a Taunus two litre V4 and then from September 1969 a three litre Essex V6 engine for the Capri 3000 models, which were advertised as ‘the fastest production line cars ever sold by Ford in Britain’. Then there was a bewildering range of spec and trim levels from L to XLR, with the E the ‘Executive’ model, on offer. So, buyers needed to study the sales catalogue very carefully before placing an order.This lovely 1971 Ford Capri 3000E Mk. I was purchased by the current owner in February 2004 while he was working for a specialist restoration company based in Hampton Hill, Middlesex. Over the years of ownership, he carried out restoration work which included repainting the car. The V6 Essex engine has been removed and totally rebuilt including reboring to 3.4 litre and stroked, the carburettors have been replaced with a pair of DOE40 split Webers. This car has been admired at the various classic car events it has attended, in 2014 and 2015 it was voted car of the weekend at the MSA Spring Classic events. Being sold due to the vendors ailing health, this lovely Capri has not been used since its last MoT test certificate in April 2017, but it has been regularly started and run and is ready to be use and enjoyed. With the Essex three litre V6 engine it is unsurprising that rare survivors such as the 3000E offered here are extremely sought after amongst collectors.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2009 Volkswagen Golf GTi Mk. 5 Transmission: automaticMileage:The Volkswagen Golf Mk. 5 was the fifth generation of the Volkswagen Golf and the successor to the Mk. 4. Sharing the Volkswagen Group A5 platform, it debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in October 2003 and went on sale in Europe one month later. The Golf Mk. 5 was replaced in 2009 with the Mk. 6. The GTI comes with VW's four-cylinder 2.0L Turbo engine (FSI) which gives it 197 bhp. Transmissions include a six-speed manual or six-speed DSG. The Mk. 5 is now regarded as probably the best incarnation of the legendary GTi after the original Mk. 1 of 1976-1983 and is fast acquiring modern classic status.This superb, very low mileage, one owner from new example of this iconic German ‘hot hatch’ is presented in white with grey GTi check cloth interior. It comes with electric windows, air conditioning and full Volkswagen service history with no fewer than 11 stamps in the service book. Its lively 2.0 litre turbo engine is mated to a six speed automatic DSG gearbox which provides great performance as one would expect from such a car. This is a practical sports hot hatch with five doors, with such incredibly low mileage and in this condition, it is surely one of best on the market today.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1990 Aston Martin Virage Transmission: manualMileage:38000Introduced at the 1988 Birmingham Motor Show, the Virage was Aston Martin’s replacement for the decades old V8 models. The Virage was launched as the top of the range car for Aston Martin. It is easy to see why this handbuilt, all aluminium V8 was king of the Astons. The 32 valve, 5.3 litre engine elevated the performance of the Virage to near sports car level. It was stated by Sports Car International on an early test that 'acceleration just never seems to run out' and they also praised 'the eager and quicker revving' nature of the engine, with its Callaway designed heads and Weber-Marelli fuel injection. They concluded that 'nothing sounds quite like an Aston V8'. This handsome Aston Martin Virage presents extremely well in British Racing Green over a cream leather interior and benefits from much renovation work over the years. More recently the car has been treated to an extensive engine rebuild and a front end rebuild including suspension components. Upgraded 18” alloy wheels have also been fitted and are shod with new tyres all round. The paintwork and interior are both in good order showing little sign of age and the engine sounds fantastic when on song. The history file that accompanies the car includes various sundry invoices, previous MoT test certificates and a UK registration document.These cars regularly require deep pockets when it comes to maintenance but this example having had a fortune spent on it is in very good order and we are sure will bring a lot of enjoyment for the new owner.Interested parties should note that the private registration plate shown is to be retained by the vendor and a new, age-related registration issued instead.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2004 Bentley Continental GT Transmission: automaticMileage:85000Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2003, the first-generation Continental GT differed from previous incarnations due to it no longer being a coachbuilt car. However, as a result, the price at launch was significantly less than the Continental R (approximately half) which exposed the car to a much wider customer base. Despite the lower price however, the new GT was still roundly well received with celebrities, sports personalities alike buying in droves due to the six litre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine with 552bhp coupled to opulent surroundings and an ultra comfortable ride. After all, this was designed to be a mile crunching continent cruiser and with that huge W12 engine coupled to a smooth six-speed automatic box distributed by the Quattro four-wheel drive system, it was equally at home in Mayfair as it was on the Autobahn where it was capable of an astonishing 196mph and a 0-60 time of just 4.7 seconds. The Continental offered the most comfortable way of reaching supercar speeds and, still to this day, is a fabulously capable GT.This example of an early GT is presented in Sapphire Blue over a cream hide interior and is finished with burr walnut wood trim. This Bentley boasts massage and heated front seats with electric memory, satellite navigation, electric folding mirrors and 19” alloy wheels. Offered with a stamped service history booklet, the last of which completed at circa 85,000 miles. Accompanying the Continental is an MoT test certificate valid until January 2022, various sundry invoices and the current V5 registration document. Continental GT's are incredible value for money and combine opulence with speed like no other, this example is without doubt very well priced and could represent fabulous value for money.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1988 Ferrari Mondial QV GTB (3.2 Litre) Transmission: manualMileage:59780With a name reminiscent of the 500 Mondial race cars from the 1950s, the Ferrari Mondial was a replacement model for the Ferrari 308 GT4. The Mondial was the first Ferrari where the entire engine, gearbox and rear suspension assembly was mounted on a detachable steel subframe, making engine removal for a major rebuild or cylinder head removal much easier than it was on previous models. The steel coachwork was taken care of by Carrozzeria Scaglietti and built over a lightweight steel box section space frame. The Mondial 8 is considered one of the marque's most ‘practical’ vehicles, due to its 214hp, proven drivetrain, four seats and relatively low cost of maintenance; major services can be performed without removing the entire engine/transmission subframe.Originally registered on 5th January 1988, this Ferrari Mondial drives well according to the vendor and is supplied with a leather Ferrari luggage case, various Ferrari bags, umbrella, the original service books and manuals, together with a comprehensive history folder. Finished in the most popular and traditional colour combination of Rossa Corsa with Crema interior and fitted with a sunroof, this right hand drive Ferrari Mondial GTB comes with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 4th February 2022. The present owner had this car serviced less than 200 miles ago, when it was also fitted with new tyres all round. It also comes with a new £450 Ferrari car cover, two sets of keys and is fitted with an alarm. The Mondial range has become increasingly popular of late as the market realises what an underrated car this is.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1963 Jaguar SS100 by Suffolk Engineering Transmission: manualMileage:9941The SS100 was built between 1936 and 1940 by SS Cars Ltd of Coventry, England. The nomenclature was to reflect the theoretical 100mph maximum speed and once approved by Sir William Lyons, the name 'Jaguar' was given to a new saloon version in 1936. Widely considered to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing Jaguar cars ever built, it is also one of the rarest with only 198 of the 2.5 litre and 116 of the 3.5 litre models being manufactured. Most stayed on the home market but 49 were exported. Cars in good condition will now regularly fetch in excess of £300,000. It is of little surprise, rather like its later stable mates, the C and D-Type, that those of us of a more impecunious persuasion looked for an alternative and a number of boutique car manufacturers then set about to feed this demand, supplying good quality recreations at a fraction of the cost of a real one.Built in 2006, this totally accurate recreation of the 1938 Jaguar SS100 is finished in Old English White with Connolly leather in Claret Dark Red with dark red Wilton carpets and sitting on 72 spoke stove, enamelled in Rosso Alfa Red, wheels fitted with Blockley high performance tyres. The engine is a Jaguar XK 3.8 litre engine fully remanufactured by VSE with a manual four speed with overdrive gearbox. Boasting balanced internals and fitted with lightened flywheel, twin 1 7/8-inch SU HIF carburettors, polished E-Type smooth cam covers engine fan and electric fan.When reimagined by Suffolk Sports Cars the rebuilt engine ancillaries included starter motor, alternator, distributor, water pump and a twin pipe stainless steel exhaust system being fitted. Also fitted were disc brakes, all as new, with adjustable shock absorbers on a six coil-spring suspension system, rack and pinion steering before finishing off with a louvered alloy bonnet.Offered with the side screens, tonneau cover, hood bag and fitted hood in double duck and with a heater and fan, this car is equally adept in inclement conditions. Supplied with the car is the history file which includes the build sheet and supplying invoice from Suffolk Sports Cars who also serviced the car. Registered as a 1963 Jaguar (Historic Vehicle) this is a superb example in condition tantamount to one having just been finished by Suffolk and with the value of the original cars soaring, great value for money.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1952 Jaguar XK120 Fixedhead Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:Originally delivered to the first wealthy owner in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) through Sagers of Bulawayo in February 1953, little is known of this car during its time in southern Africa. It was not until its recent discovery by the current owner that its real identity came to light.Jaguar chassis 669004 was uncovered by the vendor whilst looking for another type of car, more along the Mk. IX style. Land-locked Zimbabwe has the perfect temperate climate for keeping these cars in good order despite any superficial degradation. During his search, various other examples started to come out of the woodwork. A pristine Mk. IX then another from a tobacco farm north of Bulawayo. A partially dismantled XK140 was difficult to refuse and then whilst viewing this as part of a private collection, just visible in the long grass was the unforgettable shape of an XK120 fixedhead coupé.But not just any fixedhead 120; incredibly, the fourth ever built. Four cars were eventually shipped back and the restoration, once safely home in the UK, began in earnest. Protecting the originality of the car had been a priority and, whilst some parts were missing, they have been replaced with sourced original parts. Simple and minimal modifications have been introduced where the better option was available such as rack and pinion steering, wire wheels, bucket seats and unique weld-free installation of telescopic shock absorbers. Other sympathetic modifications included a louvered bonnet and Le Mans fuel filler cap. Unused items and parts, rescued from the long grass, will also be included in the sale. The body was stripped and restored by award-winning Leaping Cats of Warwickshire with paint by Brookfield Classics ‘quality without compromise’, near Leicester with the engine rebuilt by Jaguar specialist, David Butcher.The interior has been taken care of by CMC’s top trimmer, the renowned Tom Hampton, and assembly by meticulous owner, Tom Harris and, an icon in the XK world, Merv James. It is fair to say that this car has been restored regardless of cost and with only 195 right hand drive 120 fixedheads built in total with just two in 1951 (the scrapped prototype and the record-breaking ‘Seven days and Nights’ car) and another two in 1952, chassis 669003 now owned by E-Type and XK guru, Mr. Philip Porter, of famed Porter Press and this car, number four. Officially the second only XK120, right hand drive, fixedhead coupé ever sold to the general public.Complete with XK Club certification and a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, it is safe to say that this is one of the rarest and most collectible XKs on the market today.The following spare parts are also included with this lot;• Original steering box and column• Original steering arms, links and idler• Original steering lock stops (cut from chassis)• Original steel wheels• Original aluminium and timber framed doors• Original door and bonnet and boot hinges• Miscellaneous catches and clips• Body fittings (small e.g. wing stays etc.) Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction. Buyers are advised to inspect the vehicle in person or use a professional to carry out this service. Historics will not entertain disputes over descriptions.Interested parties should also note that we have been advised that the vendor wishes to confirm, for the avoidance of any doubt, that the chassis is 100% original as is the body (although rebuilt). The engine block, head and gearbox are correct but the originals were not available. In addition, the description states that this is the fourth FHC example ever built but interested parties should know that lefthand drive, fixedhead coupés were built earlier.

1972 Fiat 500 Cabriolet Transmission: manualMileage:8900The Fiat 500 was produced between 1957 and 1975 with limited production of the Fiat 500 K Estate continuing until 1977. Despite its diminutive size, the 500 proved to be an enormously practical and popular car throughout Europe capturing the hearts and minds of the public. Launched as the Nuova 500, it was marketed as a cheap and practical town car. They only measured three metres long and were originally powered by a tiny 479cc two-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the 500 redefined the term 'small car' and is considered one of the first city cars.On a kilo for kilo basis, this fabulous little Fiat 500 Supern convertible must be about as much fun as any car can be and perfect for the small streets and summer motoring. A showstopper that the vendor informs brings people out of shops and restaurants to take pictures and elicits waves from just about every passing car. Finished in beautiful unmarked yellow paintwork, we are informed this car has been fastidiously rebuilt with the engine sporting 695cc and an exhaust note to turn heads. The conversion by Supern was carried out in Germany and coupled to a total engine rebuild with new pistons, sports camshaft, electronic ignition, reinforced driveshafts and disc brakes to ensure the lively performance is kept in check. This car is unique and will certainly be the centre of attention, no matter the Ferraris and McLaren’s are parked alongside. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1978 Lotus Esprit S1 Transmission: manualMileage:68960First shown as a prototype on a modified Europa chassis at the 1972 Turin show, the Esprit was launched at the 1975 Paris Motor Show. It went into production in June 1976, replacing the Europa in the model line-up. Lotus focused on the engineering, but the styling was given to Giorgio Giugiaro and his then new Italdesign studio. Giugiaro suggested the name Esprit, which remained on the production car. Power was supplied by an all new 160 horsepower all alloy Lotus, 2.0 litre, twin-cam, four-cylinder, mid-mounted engine. The S1 is easily distinguished from the second series car by its shovel style front air dam, lack of rear quarter ducting, and Wolfrace alloy wheels. Inside, the unique green faced Veglia gauges also set it apart from its young brother. The Series I Esprit gained fame through its appearance in the 1977 James Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me. Originally registered on 1st August 1978, this Lotus is presented in Monaco White with contrasting black leather and Alcantara trim, an iconic combination for the S1. This example is one of less than 270 cars produced globally and one of just 50 registered in the UK. A right hand drive, matching numbers, Esprit sitting on original Wolfrace wheels, this very rare car was purchased by our vendor as part of a significant private collection in 2016. This example has benefitted from continual maintenance and when not in use stored inside in a professional ventilated Carcoon. With Esprit's slowly climbing in value, you would be hard pushed to find an iconic white, matching numbers, Series I for sale under £50,000. This is the perfect car for any James Bond enthusiast, with bags of character and a fabulous investment opportunity.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC (Ex-Peter Sellers) Transmission: manualMileage:116007Master impressionist, Peter Sellers, spent his childhood travelling the Vaudeville circuit where he gained a fondness for entertaining and a desire to succeed. After returning home from the war, Sellers joined the BBC, launching The Goon Show with his (to be) life-long friends Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe, Michael Bentine and Wallace Greenslade. Radio was but the start of this comedy maverick's extraordinary career. Hollywood beckoned with Sophia Loren and The Millionairess and the Oscar nominated, Dr. Strangelove but in 1963, he hit gold with Inspector Clouseau, The Pink Panther's bumbling master of disguise. With over 60 films to his name as well as a solid position within the heart of the nation, Sellers also has another side, his love of cars. Before he moved over to a mouth-watering selection of Ferraris, Sellers had more modest tastes, these included a number of Minis as well as one particular Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC...This 1975 registered 450 SLC was originally registered to Mr. Blake Edwards, director of The Pink Panther films, in 1975 before it passed on Peter Sellers. This Mercedes-Benz has undergone major restoration work over the last five years and as such, presents in beautiful condition. The engine was removed and fully rebuilt. The body was totally stripped with any corrosion cut-out and refabricated as necessary. The car was then totally repainted in the original colour of silver and the interior has been retrimmed in blue velour. The result of this significant amount of work, time and investment is a 450 SLC which is probably the best one available in the country today, coupled with the very interesting history, this Mercedes-Benz is surely a collectors’ dream car. Supplied with a V5C registration document and original Data Card, inspection in person is highly recommended to appreciate the quality of this stunning Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2016 Fiat 500 695 Biposto Record Transmission: manualMileage:31189The Fiat 500 is a rear-engined, small city car that was manufactured and marketed from 1957. Some 50 years later, Fiat previewed an all-new three-door hatchback 500 model in March 2007. The design of the 2007 Fiat 500 is based on the 2004 Trepiúno concept car. The new model features distinctive retro styling, following the pattern of the Volkswagen Beetle and BMW Mini, as modern reinterpretation of Dante Giacosa’s 1957 original Fiat 500. Production started in mid-2007 in Fiat facilities in Tychy, Poland. Numerous trim equipment and performance versions are offered.This Fiat 500 Abarth Biposto Record was originally registered on 29th July 2016. This limited model had a run of 133 units, of which, only 39 came to the UK making the car on offer today not only attractive but very rare indeed. The manufacturers figure for this pared-down ‘pocket rocket’ show the weight of this model as only 997kg. It is no wonder that the claimed performance figures achieved from the cars turbocharged 1.4 litre engine are 187bhp and a 0-62 of 5.9 seconds. The vendor has owned this stunning car from new and tells us that it really is as much fun to drive as the figures suggest. The bright yellow paintwork, Abarth badging and embossed Alcantara seats make this Fiat a real head turner. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until 22nd July 2021, this Abarth is ready to put a smile on a new owners face. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1972 Citroën SM Transmission: automaticMileage:62072In 1961, Citroën began work on 'Project S', a sports variant of the revolutionary Citroën DS. As was customary for the firm, many running concept vehicles were developed, increasingly complex and upmarket from the DS. Citroën purchased Maserati in 1968 with the intention of harnessing Maserati's high-performance V6 engine technology to produce a true Gran Turismo car combining the sophisticated Citroën suspension. The result was the Citroën SM, first shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1970 and which went on sale in France in September of that year. Factory produced cars were all left hand drive, although right hand conversions were available in the UK and Australia. The origin of the model name 'SM' is not completely clear. The 'S' may derive from the Project 'S' designation and the 'M' perhaps refers to Maserati, hence SM is often assumed to stand for ‘Systeme Maserati’ or ‘Sports Maserati’.This Citroën Maserati SM is in delightful condition, the gold paintwork is in good order and is complemented with a tobacco leather interior. The fastidious vendor has advised us that this impressive Citroën drives extremely well. He also informs us that on one of the cars first outing under his tenure which was to a Citroën X rally at Burghley House his stunning example was awarded ‘Best of Show’, and he only went for a day trip! The file for this SM contains various servicing bills and shows that in 2016 the interior carpets were completely replaced. To drive a Citroën Maserati SM is a memorable experience, power, comfort and prestige all in one package and LAF 875L is no exception. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document, interested parties are advised to inspect this Citroën to ascertain for themselves the fantastic value of this iconic car. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1970 Ford Escort Mk. I RS1600 Transmission: manualMileage:58817It was the Escort that really put Ford on the rallying map, proving capable of winning World Championship events from 1968, when the Twin Cam model was the works' frontline rally car, right through to 1981 when Ari Vatanen became World Rally Champion driving an Escort RS. In 1970 the Ford Twin Cam engine was replaced by a Cosworth BDA 16-valve unit to create the definitive Escort rally car: the RS1600. In its ultimate form the Escort RS1600 proved good enough to win the RAC Rally three times on the trot between 1972 and 1974, as well as a host of other World Championship events.This example is presented in purple and silver with a black interior, it has a half roll cage with weight saving door cards and original Ford bucket seats with harnesses. Originally supplied by Thomas Motors Blackpool in 1970 as a standard road going RS1600 painted Ermine White, this car was subsequently converted by Broadspeed Engineering in 1979 so it could be raced in Hillclimbs and Sprints, fitting it with a 1300 BDA at that time and repainting it red and silver, synonymous with Broadspeed racing cars. The car is now fitted with the period correct RS1600 Ford Engine and has been stored for the last 15 years. This is a rare car in demand and increasingly difficult to find.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1974 Citroën DS 23 Safari Transmission: automaticMileage:55000After 18 years of secret development, the DS19 was introduced on 5th October 1955 at the Paris Motor Show. In the first 15 minutes of the show, 743 orders were taken and orders for the first day totalled 12,000 cars. To a France still deep in reconstruction after the devastation of World War II, the DS was a symbol of French ingenuity. It was the first mass-production car with front power disc brakes. It also featured hydro pneumatic suspension including an automatic self-levelling system, variable ground clearance, power-steering, a semi-automatic transmission and a fibreglass roof which reduced weight. It also sported inboard front brakes as well as independent suspension. Despite the rather leisurely acceleration afforded by its four-cylinder engine, the DS was successful in motorsports like rallying, where sustained speeds on poor surfaces are paramount. It won the Monte-Carlo Rally in 1959 and, controversially in 1966, after the disqualification of the BMC Mini-Cooper team. The Citroën DS placed fifth on Automobile Magazine's '100 Coolest Cars' listing in 2005. It was also named the most beautiful car of all time by Classic & Sports Car magazine after a poll of 20 world-renowned car designers.Originally registered on 19th August 1974, this right hand drive Citroën presents in splendid condition. The 2347cc engine runs well, this mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. These larger engine DS’s are delightful to drive offering a good performance and a ride that is difficult to surpass. The Safari offers a significant load space as well as being very stylish. Supplied with a V5C registration document, these Citroëns are an automotive masterpiece, offering beauty, functionality, and practicality all in one. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1968 Jaguar E-Type Series II Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:2073The Jaguar E-Type was initially designed and shown to the public as a grand tourer in two-seater coupé form and as a convertible roadster. The 2+2 version, with a lengthened wheelbase, was released several years later. Open headlights without glass covers, a wrap-around rear bumper, repositioned and larger front indicators and tail lights below the bumpers, better cooling aided by an enlarged ‘mouth’ and twin electric fans, together with uprated brakes are all hallmarks of Series II cars. The engine is easily identified visually by the change from smooth polished cam covers to a ‘ribbed’ appearance. The interior and dashboard were also redesigned with rocker switches being substituted for toggle switches. The dashboard switches also lost their symmetrical layout. New seats were fitted which purists claim lacked the style of the originals but were certainly more comfortable and air conditioning and power steering were available as factory options.This well-presented Series II Roadster was delivered new to the USA in 1968. Presented in the rare colour combination of willow green over a green leather interior the E-Type benefits from having a rebuilt rear subframe with a high ratio differential fitted, perfect for economical and more comfortable driving, a conversion to electronic ignition was also completed at this time. Reported to be in fine driving order this well maintained example would make a great touring car for its new owner. Offered with a history file detailing previous maintenance work including many invoices and receipts throughout the 1990s, the Heritage Certificate and the current UK registration document.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1993 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL Transmission: automaticMileage:68000The 4973cc, R129 Mercedes-Benz SL500 carried on the tradition of the fast and reliable grand touring convertible from Mercedes-Benz. Borne out of the earlier 500 SL models, the new SL 500 featured many new and innovative ideas for the period, such as controlled electronic damping, automatically expanding roll-over bar and a more modern multi-link rear axle.  Fully operating electric hood, windows, door mirrors and seats made this model easy and comfortable to operate. With powerful engines, stopping power was aided by anti-locking braking for added reassurance creating a model revered by many the world over.This stunning Mercedes-Benz was originally registered on 18th June 1993 and presents in very good order throughout. The Almandine coachwork is unmarked and the mushroom leather interior is exceedingly tidy. These bigger engine SL’s are silky smooth to drive with impressive performance. The current odometer reading on the car is 7,162 miles, however it is known to have had a speedometer change at around 60,000 miles. Confirmation from Mercedes-Benz is that the car had travelled 56,998 miles in 1998 and according to the MoT history in April 2006 the odometer reading was 1,122 miles. In the 15 years in between, she has covered a mere 6,040 miles, without doubt this is clearly a car that has been well cared for. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a full years MoT test certificate together with a factory hardtop. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1975 Jensen Interceptor Mk. III Transmission: automaticMileage:41300The Jensen Interceptor was launched in 1966 and the all steel bodyshell broke away from the company's traditional method of construction that used GRP (glass reinforced plastic). Designed by Carrozzeria Touring, the early cars were built by Vignale before production eventually was carried out at the Jensen works in West Bromwich. Power was delivered by the Chrysler 6276cc, V8 through a TorqueFlite automatic transmission and final drive being a Salisbury axle with limited slip differential. A manual gearbox was offered as an option. 1968 saw the addition of powersteering and, in 1969, the Mk. II was introduced with detail upgrades that included a revised front end and ventilated disc brakes.1971 saw the introduction of the Mk. III; the engine size was increased to 7212cc and, it was at this time, the most powerful engine Jensen had produced. The imposing presence, power and distinctive shape that included the wrap around glass rear hatch drew the rich and famous to the marque. Production ceased in 1976 with a total of 6408 Interceptors manufactured.Originally registered on 20th February 1975 this delightful Jensen has only had three previous keepers and has covered a mere 41,300 miles from new. Significant sums of money have been spent on this Interceptor over the years, as confirmed by the superb history folder, this includes a large collection of MoT test certificates which confirm the low mileage. Finished in black with black interior and described as driving with no known faults, this handsome Jensen is certainly an impressive looking car. This 7212cc engine is a delight when she bursts into life and is very responsive on the road, it is hard to believe this car is 46 years old. The styling of Interceptors is certainly impressive, borne out of how many admiring glances these cars attract on the open road. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a full years’ MoT test certificate, this is certainly one of the better examples available today.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1954 Riley RME Transmission: manualMileage:404Despite producing some fine small saloons and sporting cars while carving out an enviable competition record for itself during the early 1930s, Riley had lost its battle to remain independent and was part of the Nuffield Organisation by the decade’s end. Rileys of the immediate post-war years were, nevertheless, recognisably products of the ‘old firm’. Most popular of these was the 1.5 litre RMA sports saloon, which came with torsion bar independent front suspension, hydro-mechanical brakes and Riley’s classic twin-camshaft, overhead-valve engine in four-cylinder guise. An improved version, the RME, with fully hydraulic brakes - appeared in 1952 and continued in production until 1955.This lovely example of this British classic is presented in black over ivory with tan leather interior. The car was purchased by the present owner in 2007 from a lady owner who had the car stored in a barn for many years. The car was then fully restored by the renown classic car restorer, Michael Hibberd Motor Engineers. The engine and chassis were rebuilt and a full body restoration was carried out also. The car was painted, new carpets and headlining were installed, all the woodwork was restored and a new stainless steel exhaust system was fitted. This wonderful classic Riley comes with a lovely history including original manuals, toolkit and parts invoices. A delightful classic in great condition which is ready to be enjoyed.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1962 Austin Healey 3000 BJ7 Mk. II A Transmission: manualMileage:13636The Healey 3000 represents one of the most graceful and yet powerful classic English sportscars ever produced. It started with the 100/4, subsequently enlarged to 2.6 litres in the 100/6 and finally the powerful incarnation, the three litre, 3000. All three incarnations looked superb and drove equally well hence their regular use within motorsport. Twin SU carburettors and front disc brakes combined to good effect, the car was well balanced and powerful. The BJ7 was really an advanced Healey 3000 with a more considered windscreen design, wind-up windows and a quick action folding roof.Supplied new in Gibraltar and registered to its first owner in 1962, this wonderful Austin Healey was repatriated to the UK in 1971 where it was registered to Gifford William Carr of Leicester. During the 1990s the Healey underwent an extensive restoration, the majority of the work undertaken by renowned marque specialist, JME Healey Ltd. In 1997, the engine, gearbox and all body panels were removed to enable a full body and chassis restoration. In the past ten years further extensive works have been carried out including a new fuel tank, new rear end, two door panels, new fuel pump, heater and starter motor in addition to the front suspension being extensively rebuilt, new springs, shock absorbers and king-pins were fitted as well as a new steering box and new brakes and shoes. Also completed at this time was a rebuilt gearbox and differential unit as well as new harnesses and a new hood. Unfortunately, over the years some of the restoration invoices have been misplaced although there is a record of more recent work commissioned by the current vendor. Offered in very good order throughout, the paintwork still retains a deep shine and the chrome work presents very well as does the interior and hood which show very few imperfections. The vendor reports that the Healey drives very well and sounds fantastic when on song. Offered with a sizeable history file including the Heritage Certificate, various sundry invoices, old MoT test certificates, a V5 registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until November 2021. This well-maintained and sensibly upgraded Healey has been dry stored by the current vendor and only used in good weather conditions, as such it presents very well indeed and is ready to be enjoyed by its new custodian.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2004 Bentley Continental GT Transmission: automaticMileage:36854Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2003 the first-generation Continental GT differed from previous incarnations due to it no longer being a coachbuilt car, however as a result the price at launch was significantly less than the Continental R (approximately half) which exposed the car to a much wider customer base. Despite the lower price, the new GT was still well received with celebrities and sports personalities alike buying in droves due to the six litre, twin-turbocharged, W12 engine with 552bhp coupled to opulent surroundings and an ultra comfortable ride. After all, this was designed to be a mile crunching continent cruiser and with that huge engine coupled to a smooth six-speed automatic gearbox distributed by the four-wheel drive system, it was equally at home in Mayfair as it was on the autobahn where it was capable of an astonishing 196mph and a 0-60 time of just 4.7 seconds. The Continental offered the most comfortable way of reaching supercar speeds and still to this day is a fabulously capable GT.This very nice example is presented in Sapphire Blue with dark tan leather interior and has covered a mere 36,854 miles of which 10,000 miles were covered over the last ten years! The car is adorned with the usual refinements one would expect with such prestigious models, burr walnut in abundance, electric windows, satellite navigation, electric seats etc. Its powerful German engineered 6.0 litre engine is smooth and delivers its power with ease for great touring or more swifter driving in country roads. The car comes with a V5 registration document and a fresh MoT test certificate which expires on 17th January 2022.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1958 Jaguar Mk. I (3.4 litre) Transmission: automaticMileage:52500Launched in 1955, the Mk. I extended Jaguar's domination of the high-performance car market in Britain, slotting neatly into the Coventry firm's range alongside the big Mk. VII M saloon and the XK140 sports car. The medium size newcomer broke new ground for Jaguar, being its first model to employ unitary construction of the chassis/body. Jaguar's engineers were understandably cautious in their approach, making the bodyshell stronger than in fact it needed to be and employing rubber mountings just about everywhere to insulate occupants from vibration and noise. The Mk. I was released with a new, short stroke, 2.4-litre version of the proven XK 'six', but demands for more power, especially from American customers, prompted the introduction of the 3.4-litre version early in 1957. With 190bhp on tap the 3.4-litre Mk. I was good for a top speed of 120mph and could reach 60mph in nine seconds, though if used to the full, this greatly improved performance severely taxed the drum brakes. All-round disc brakes were hurriedly announced as an option, becoming an almost universal fitting thereafter. The Mk. I was progressively updated throughout its life before a wholesale revision of the basic design saw it re-launched as the Mk. II in October 1959.This lovely example is presented in Sherwood Green (repainted in 2016) with its original tan leather interior (re-Connollised), new door cards and carpets and comes with a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate confirming that it is a full matching numbers car which is all important. The car was the subject of a major professional ground up body restoration, approximately costing £20,000, with new inner and outer sills fitted in 2016. Its wonderful interior is complimented by its woodwork which typically shows off all that was luxurious with Jaguar motor cars and its smooth six-cylinder 3.4 litre engine is mated to an automatic gearbox. This car has been the subject of some considerable work over the last four years and with its colour coded spoke wheels matching its superb bodywork colour, this example really is one of the finest available. In 2016, the car had its disc brake system rebuilt, complete re-wire with new wiring loom. In 2020, the engine was rebuilt with all new bearings, rebuilt SU carburettors, fuel pump, piston rings, timing gear and oil pump. This wonderful example comes with its original Jaguar workshop manual and spares book is on its original UK registration.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1964 MG B Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:60700The MGB was launched in May 1962 to replace the MGA and was introduced as a four-cylinder roadster with a coupé added in 1965. It was a relatively modern design at the time of its introduction, utilising a monocoque structure instead of the traditional 'body-on-frame' construction used on both the MGA and MG T-types. The lightweight design reduced manufacturing costs while adding to overall vehicle strength. Manual windows were standard and a comfortable driver's compartment offered plenty of legroom. The MGB's performance was considered brisk at the time of its introduction with a 0-60mph time of just over 11 seconds; this was aided by the relatively light weight of the car. Handling was one of MGB's strong points. The three-bearing 1798cc, B-Series engine produced 95bhp at 5,400rpm with the engine upgraded in October 1964 to a five-bearing crankshaft to improve reliability.This very good 1964 MGB Roadster is a sought-after pull-handle model and has the benefit of being fitted with overdrive. Fully restored between 2009 and 2012 this car has only covered 8,000 miles since. During the restoration the engine was replaced with a later, rebuilt, five bearing crank engine and the gearbox with overdrive was overhauled. Recent work carried out included overhauling the carburettors, fitting the correct cooling fan, new hoses and new spark plugs. Finished in dark blue with black interior, this MGB roadster is supplied with a virtually unused black hood, its original black tonneau cover, a V5 registration document, a Heritage Certificate and a file containing old MoT test certificates going back to 1985 and invoices from the restoration that took place around 2010. This represents an opportunity to purchase a car that will give the new owner good, reliable motoring in this popular marque.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2002 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Transmission: automaticMileage:98184The fifth generation Mercedes SL range was in production between 2001 and 2008 and carried the factory code of R230. This all new model featured a retractable hardtop, known as a Vario roof and an active body roll system which uses accumulators and hydraulic fluids to regulate the firmness and heights of the suspension balancing comfort and handling.This Mercedes was originally registered in October 2002 and has benefitted from a wide body kit.Presenting in gleaming white with a grey leather interior, black alloys with red brake calipers, this SL really looks the part. Badged as an SL65 this Mercedes has real presence.These are wonderfully luxurious and with a five litre V8 engine providing the power, driving is an effortless joy.Interested parties should note that this car was subject to a Category D insurance loss in 2006.Presented to auction with a fresh MoT test certificate, this SL500 is offered without reserve.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1954 Mercedes-Benz 170 SV Transmission: manualMileage:75132The Mercedes-Benz W136 was one of a range of inline four-cylinder cars from the mid-1930s into the 1950s. The model 170 V made its public debut as successor to the W15 Type 170 in February 1936 and between 1936 and 1939 it was Mercedes-Benz top selling model. During the war the plant suffered very severe bomb damage but the manufacturer nevertheless emerged from the trauma with a significant competitive advantage over many of its pre-war competitors. Enough of the W136's tooling survived the bombing during World War II for it to serve as the foundation upon which the company could rebuild. By 1947 the model 170 V had resumed its place as Mercedes-Benz top-seller, a position it held until 1953.This fantastic example spent thirty-seven years of its life in the ownership of a well-known Owners’ Club member. During his tenure, the extensive file of invoices and receipts for works completed to this scarce Mercedes totalled nearly £19,000. Most of this work was undertaken by marque specialist, John Haynes and it certainly shows. This well restored car presents in gleaming Jet Black paintwork with a grey cloth upholstery and grey carpets. The brightwork is good and the semaphores work, as does the cars self-lubricating system. The 1700cc side valve engine fired into life on first request and runs as smoothly as a car a fraction of its age. The column change four speed gearbox has synchromesh on each gear and changes are made with ease. Offered to auction with a V5c registration document and at a fraction of the restoration costs, this Mercedes would make a tremendous addition to any collector or enthusiast.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1951 Bentley Mk. VI Transmission: manualMileage:34237The Mk. VI four-door standard steel sports saloon was the first post-war luxury car from Bentley. Announced in May 1946 and produced from 1946 to 1952, it was also the first car from Rolls-Royce with all-steel coachwork and the first complete car assembled and finished at their factory. These very expensive cars were a genuine success. These models had a shorter wheelbase chassis and the engine was a variant of the Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith of 1946 and, with the same standard steel body, became the cautiously introduced Silver Dawn of 1949. In 1952, both Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn and Bentley Mk. VI standard steel bodies were modified to incorporate a boot of about twice the size and the result became known as the R-Type Bentley. Mk. VI engines and chassis were modified to provide higher performance and sold to be bodied by selected coachbuilders as the first Bentley Continentals.This 1951 manufactured Bentley is finished in green with a beige leather interior.

1936 Standard Avon Special Tourer Transmission: manualMileage:27840The Standard Motor Company Limited was a motor vehicle manufacturer, founded in Coventry in 1903 by Reginald Maudsley. It purchased Triumph in 1945 and in 1959 officially changed its name to Standard-Triumph International and began to put the Triumph brand name on all its products. In 1929 John Black, joint managing director of Hillman, took up an appointment at Standard as joint Managing Director. Black encouraged the supply of chassis to external coachbuilders such as Avon and Swallow coachbuilding and Jensen. The coachbuilding company of Avon during the early 1930s commenced producing cars with a distinctly sporty appearance, using as a foundation, a complete chassis from the Standard Motor Company. These chassis were ordinary production units, used because of their sound engineering design and good performance. Known as Avon Standard Specials they catered for a select market too small for Standard themselves.This delightfully handsome tourer is finished in green with black interior. The coachwork is in good order as is the chromework and interior. We are advised the 9hp engine runs well and this Standard Avon drives with no known faults. Sitting proudly on wire wheels, this car is the best of both worlds, uncomplicated and reliable mechanics by Standard with styling by the New Avon Body Company Limited of Warwick, they were established in 1919. It is thought only nine ‘Le Mans’ style tourers were built by Avon bodies prior to the outbreak of World War II. This example was rebuilt circa 10 years ago and comes with some invoices. Offered for sale without reserve, this two-seater tourer is a great way to enjoy the summer months ahead.Guide £10,000-£14,000 Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1985 Austin Maestro 1.3 Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:18266The Austin Maestro was produced from 1983 to 1987 by British Leyland and from 1988 until 1995 by Rover Group. The car was produced at the former Morris plant in Cowley, Oxford although today, the redeveloped factory produces the BMW Mini. The Maestro incorporated many novel and pioneering features for its class. It had a bonded laminated windscreen, homofocal headlamps, body-coloured plastic bumpers, an electronic engine management system, adjustable front seat belt upper anchorage positions, an asymmetrically split rear seat and a 12,000-mile service interval.Offered from a deceased estate, this 1985 Austin Maestro is in remarkable and original condition. The Maestro has only three owners recorded in total. A Miss Audrey Baker purchased the car on 14th October 1985 less than one month from the date of first registration at the original supplying Austin-Rover dealers the Marn Group, London. The car was the pride and joy of its last owner and attended many local rallies. When he purchased the car in 2013, the centre of the roof had dull paintwork so a Union Jack was applied. This does not detract from the overall appearance; in fact, quite the opposite with, apparently, many positive comments received from onlookers during trips. The car was recently inspected by a marque collector and specialist who stated that, due to the car’s condition, the mileage is believed genuine making this, probably, one of the lowest mileage examples in existence. Certainly, on inspection, the key areas that are first to succumb to rot and wear on these models are in remarkable condition. These include the engine bay, undersides, filler cap area, interior and luggage compartment area amongst others. There are one or two marks on the coachwork, but these do not deflect from its overall condition. This example is a Mk. I base model with the more desirable early dashboard and instrumentation. The car comes complete with its original and unused tools and jack etc. There is also a UK V5C registration document, manuals, original radio (not fitted) and approximately two boxes of spare parts.Finished in Moonraker Blue with a grey interior, this charming Maestro is a rare car indeed and with such low mileage, ownership history and great condition, it is highly collectible.  Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.
