Long term ownership, 21,200 miles and over 300 pages of Jack Barclay maintenance and service records.Completed at the Crewe factory on 01/05/1989 in Windsor Blue as one of just 366 right-hand-drive carsA very late Spirit I with the chassis number confirming facelift features as seen on the Spirit IIPurchased from Jack Barclay Ltd by the long-term owner on 23/12/1992The history file is among the finest we have seen with some 300 pages of maintenance records by Jack BarclayNo expense has been spared in the car’s upkeep and records warrant the 21,200 miles (atoc)The original owner’s wallet and books are in pristine condition and the MOT is valid until July 2021The Silver Spirit and its long-wheelbase counterpart, the Silver Spur, were announced in the autumn of 1980. Rolls-Royce's familiar and dependable 6,750cc V8 power unit remained unchanged, but significant improvements were made to the newcomers' self-levelling rear suspension and the styling too came in for some revision, with a lower waistline, increased glass area and a more modern angular look; rectangular headlights graced the front of a Rolls-Royce for the first time, and the oft-changed radiator became wider and squatter.Inside, the Crewe firm's exemplary standards of equipment and finish were maintained, the most noticeable change being the adoption of separate rear seats and the reinstatement of folding picnic tables. Launched in the autumn of 1989, by which time fuel injection had been adopted for all markets, the Silver Spirit II looked virtually identical to its immediate predecessor. Costing over £119,000 new this very late Spirit I shared the same styling cues as the soon to be launched Spirit II, indeed various documents, including the V5C, list the car as a Spirit II such is the similarity with the later model. Finished in Windsor Blue with grey-blue leather piped dark blue and dark blue carpeting.The original owner’s wallet and handbooks are in pristine condition and the service book shows the first services to have been carried out by the Rolls-Royce factory’s service department at Crewe. Subsequently purchased by a gentleman living in St. John’s Wood, North London directly from Jack Barclay Ltd. In 1992, the car returned to them for everything, from MOTs to regular maintenance and services until 2018. Rarely have we seen such paperwork from one main dealer, the Jack Barclay invoices amount to some 300 pages, and the diligent no-expense-spared maintenance was carried out regardless of the low annual mileage.As is common with London cars there are a few parking dings to the doors together with touched-in paint chips, but to preserve the car’s originality they have remained. The interior and engine bay are naturally beautiful, in keeping with the car’s low mileage of some 21,200 miles at the time of cataloguing. Included with the aforementioned owner’s wallet and books is a very rare Rolls-Royce “sound system test” sample tape pack to show off the car’s sound system. The MOT is valid until 22nd July 2021 and this car is now ready for its next owner to gently waft along in supreme comfort in the whisper-quiet interior that still smells like a new car.SpecificationMake: ROLLS ROYCEModel: SILVER SPIRITYear: 1989Chassis Number: SCAZS00A8KCH27053Transmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 677262410119 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 21100 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Blue LeatherClick here for more details and images

Clearly cherished and well cared for, this is a delightful example of a rare and desirable, high-performance Bentley.Originally supplied by Mann Egerton, London in June 1992Superb throughout being finished in the desirable combination of Balmoral Green with magnolia hideThe 325bhp, 6.75-litre turbocharged V8 offers 150mph and 0-60 in 6.6secsComprehensive service history supporting the indicated mileage of 46,900Recent MOT issued without advisoriesWe welcome any inspection of this splendid motor carAlthough launched at the Geneva Salon of 1991, many elements of the John Heffernan/Ken Greenley-penned Continental R had been seen at the same event as far back as 1984, when Bentley unveiled their `Project 90' concept car; a suitably enthusiastic reception leading the company to develop the car for production. Clearly, the Sultan of Brunei approved of the end result, as he bought the 1991 show car at the exhibition. The new car was based on the Turbo R floor-pan and powered by that model's 6.75-litre turbocharged V8 engine, which was believed (the Rolls-Royce/Bentley company of the day never quoted horsepower figures) to produce in the region of 325bhp fed through the, then new, four-speed GM 4L80-E transmission. Whatever the power output, it was sufficient to give a top speed of some 150mph and a 0-60mph acceleration time of around 6.6 seconds - no mean feat for a car weighing in at some 2.5 tons and the best of any Bentley in its day. Unlike all other Bentleys since the S3 of 1965, its body was unique to the marque and not shared with any model of Rolls-Royce. All Continental Rs were finished and trimmed by Rolls-Royce’s Mulliner Park Ward subsidiary and carried MPW builder’s plates, with the bodies being assembled by hand from machine-pressed panels. The Continental R was produced from 1991 to 2003, during which time some 1,290 of these exclusive motor cars found comfortable homes.This superb example was originally supplied by Mann Egerton, London in June 1992 finished in Balmoral Green with Magnolia Hide piped in green, Spruce detailing and Conifer carpets with matching Lambswool over-mats. Accompanying the car is a detailed and comprehensive service history showing visits during its early years to Mead Bentley and Broughtons, with attention being paid in later years by Specialist Cars in Exeter, Devon resulting in all things mechanical being in excellent order. The last MOT Certificate on file was issued on 26 Sept 2020 (without advisories) at an indicated mileage of 46,849, with just 60 miles having been covered in the intervening period. Included in the history file is a valuation from the Bentley Drivers Club dated October 2020 suggesting an insurance value of around £45,000.The remainder of the Continental R presents beautifully with exceptional paintwork and an interior that is, as you might expect, from a ‘gentleman’s carriage’ that cost some £170,000 new and has covered less than 50,000 miles since.This is a cherished and well cared for, low mileage example of a rare and desirable, high-performance Bentley and we strongly advocate that you take the opportunity to come and closely inspect this remarkable car.BENTLEY CONTINENTAL R – J844 HGHDate of First Registration ; 17/06/1992Service History17/02/93 - Mead of Burnham @ 1270 miles10/09/93 – Mead of Burnham @3174 miles08/04/94 – Mead of Burnham @ 3975 miles04/10/94 - Mead of Burnham @ 5998 miles11/04/95 – Mead of Burnham @ 7565 miles27/12/95 – Mead of Burnham @ 10043 miles03/07/96 – Mead of Burnham @ 11891 miles11/03/97 – Mead of Burnham @13984 miles27/01/98 – Mead of Burnham @ 16185 miles07/09/98 – Mead of Burnham @ 17448 miles01/11/99 – Mead of Burnham @ 19724 miles17/07/00 – Broughtons of Surrey @ 21338 miles14/05/01 – Broughtons of Cheltenham @ 21814 miles11/03/02 – Broughtons of Surrey @ 22929 miles02/12/02 – Broughtons of Surrey @ 23413 miles03/06/06 – Straight Eight New Forest @ 24745 miles04/05/07 – Specialist Cars ( South West ) @ 28228 miles06/06/08 – Specialist Cars ( South West ) @ 31820 miles11/05/10 – Specialist Cars ( South West ) @ 32345 miles11/02/14 – Specialist Cars ( South West ) @ 35495 miles08/09/14 – Phantom Motors @ 39312 miles30/10/15 – Specialist Cars @ 43571 miles10/09/18 – Specialist Cars @ 45739 milesSpecificationMake: BENTLEYModel: CONTINENTAL R MULLINERYear: 1992Chassis Number: SCBZB03A5NCH42069Transmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 76738L4101/TKNDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 46910 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Magnolia piped Green LeatherClick here for more details and images

Full restoration to the very highest of standards. #SEV 267 is an E-Series Silver Cloud III that dates from 25/11/1963Now finished in Deep Royal Blue with magnolia hideSubject of a four-year restoration to the highest of standards by one of the UK’s most talented restorers Fastidious attention to detail throughout. Lots of nice touchesMechanically fully rebuilt. Superb engine bayAccompanied by a comprehensive photographic record of the rebuild and copies of the factory build-sheetsUnderstated and discrete they may be but Silver Cloud IIIs certainly make a statementThe registration number TOF8 is not included in the saleLaunched in 1962, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III and its Bentley S3 equivalent employed the 6.2-litre V8 engine introduced on the 'Cloud II/S2 - though with larger carburettors, new distributor and raised compression ratio - and came with a four-speed GM-derived automatic transmission as standard equipment. Most obvious among many changes from the preceding models was the adoption of four-headlamp lighting, the absence of sidelights from the wing tops, and a slightly lower radiator shell. Inside there was improved accommodation with separate front seats and increased room for rear passengers. Notable as the last mainstream Rolls-Royce to employ a separate chassis, the Silver Cloud III proved immensely successful both at home and abroad, remaining in production until the autumn of 1965.  Despatched on 25 November 1963 in nondescript red, this exceptional Rolls Royce Cloud III is now finished in much more pleasing Deep Royal Blue with full Magnolia Hide piped Blue, an inspired choice giving a regal feeling to this most imposing motor vehicle. Purchased some years ago as a total project and in much need of love and attention, the services of Peter Rose, of ‘Classic Restoration’ an independent Rolls Royce specialist, were employed to bring this particular Rolls-Royce up to its current level. Many restorers would have walked away, such was the condition, but thankfully Peter and our vendor ploughed on, returning the Cloud to the road after a comprehensive and painstaking rebuild over a four-year period, a true labour of love that would be beyond many talented craftsmen. Having worked together over many years on similar projects, the relationship once again bore fruit resulting in a triumphant Concours win at the Rolls-Royce National Rally in 2012. We are informed that the parts alone for this stunning Cloud III amounted to in excess of £50,000, therefore with labour costs and the donor vehicle a considerable sum of money was very clearly devoured during the project. Every nut, bolt, washer and screw has received attention, the body totally restored, the engine and gearbox have been rebuilt and fully detailed and the final drive totally refurbished.The interior of this venerable Silver Cloud is simply remarkable. The Burr Walnut dashboard appears flawless, there are marquetry panels inset into the Walnut door cards and the door caps have solid silver ‘RR’ inlays created specifically for the Cloud in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham. Even the more modern Satellite Navigation system is discreetly hidden away so as not to give the game away.Accompanied by a comprehensive photographic record of the rebuild and copies of the factory build sheets, this magnificent Cloud III is ready once again to discretely whisk its lucky owners and their guests in amazing comfort to their destination and to arrive in the style normally reserved for what was, at the time, ‘The Best Car in the World’.SpecificationMake: ROLLS ROYCEModel: CLOUD IIIYear: 1963Chassis Number: SEV267Transmission: AutoEngine Number: S3547Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Cream HideClick here for more details and images

A rare low production model and in a very desirable specification.Regarded as one of the last 'real' Bentleys, the flagship Bentley Continental R Mulliner was introduced in 1999 and manufactured until 2003 by Bentley Motors in CreweTurbo-charged 6.75-litre V8 offers 420bhp and a staggering 650 Lbs/ft of torque. 0-60mph in 5.6 seconds and a top speed of over 170 mphOne of just 131 examples produced and historically significant as one of the last hand-built Bentleys produced before the company's acquisition by VolkswagenPresented in the stylish combination of Metallic Blue paintwork with a cream leather interiorJust 43,809 miles covered; full service history, with 12 Bentley service stamps in original service booklet; major service at 41,259 miles costing £5,200 with a new head gasketOn offer from a privateer vendor and kept in a temperature-controlled garage and rarely used but started on a regular basisAll relevant service history, paperwork, owner’s manuals, and bills accompany the carIntroduced in 1991, the Continental ‘R’ was the first Bentley in 26 years to not share a body style with a concurrent Rolls-Royce and was inspired by the highly collectible Continental R-Type of the 1950s. The elegant two-door coachwork was styled by John Heffernan and Ken Greenley, a duo whose résumé included sports cars like the Aston Martin Virage. Five years later Bentley introduced a short-wheelbase version dubbed the Continental ‘T’ that was equipped with an uprated engine developing 420 hp and an impressive 650 foot-pounds of torque available at only 2,200 rpm.Bentley customers soon expressed interest in equipping the “wide-body” Continental R model with the T’s more powerful engine, and the Continental R Mulliner was consequently introduced at the 1999 Geneva Salon. The nomenclature was an homage to H.J. Mulliner, the British coachbuilder responsible for the original R-Type’s breath-taking fastback bodywork. The R Mulliner’s wide-body configuration offered spacious interior elegance, whilst the twin-turbocharged V8 could rocket the car to a top speed of nearly 170 mph, with brisk 5.6-second sprints to 60 mph from standstill. Individually tailored to customer order, the R Mulliner was Bentley’s ultimate 20th-century combination of luxury and performance, produced in a modest quantity of as few as 131 examples. Without question one of the finest Bentleys ever made, the Continental R is also historically significant as one of the last hand-built Bentleys produced before the company's acquisition by Volkswagen.The car presented here is a 2001 Bentley Continental ‘R’ Wide-bodied Mulliner Coupé (SCBZB25EX1CH63540) that has covered just 43,765 miles over the last 20 years in the hands of four previous owners, the current one since 2016.Our knowledgeable vendor knows the areas of potential concern with these special cars and consequently he had the sills/underside inspected as they were showing some minor scabbing. As a result, he had these professionally removed and replaced two years ago and, similarly, with head gaskets having been known to occasionally fail, during a routine service at Bentley Manchester, they fitted a new head gasket (£5,200) solely for peace of mind.The dealer's list price for these cars was a, not unsubstantial, £225,000 when new, with the entire production run (1992-2003) amounting to just 131 examples in 'wide-body' configuration. In exceptional condition throughout, having been maintained and stored regardless of cost, and in a delightful colour combination, this elegant Bentley is accompanied by a total and comprehensive service history including detailed invoices and numerous MOT Certificates.Our vendor is a long-term Bentley enthusiast and although the car is regularly used, it remains beautifully presented. This is an opportunity to acquire one of the very best Bentley 'Wide-body' examples on the road today.13/12/01 4,452 miles Ron Stratton & Co Ltd.

One of the best driving E-Types we have ever offered.UK-supplied in right-hand drive and just two owners from newMatching numbers engine and gearboxDrives absolutely superblyOriginal colour combination of Old English White and red leatherNicely patinated since restoration finished in 2011Perfect to celebrate the E-Type’s 60th AnniversaryOf the Series 1, Series 2 and Series 3 cars produced between 1961 and 1974 ~ it is the Series 2 that Jaguar enthusiasts consistently declare the best to drive. Is it the silky-engined, six-cylinder 4.2, the all-synchro gearbox with perfect ratios, or just the overall more balanced look? Who knows, but today the Series 2 has consistently won the crown of the best driving E-Type ever produced by the Midland’s famous Browns Lane factory.This car was supplied new in 1970 by locally-based All Saints Garage in Bromsgrove to a Mr Anthony Armour of Sevenoaks in Kent in 1972, who enjoyed the car so much that he kept it right up until October 2015 when it was purchased by our private regular vendor. Remarkably, the original invoice dated January 1972 for £1,975 remains in the history file today.Still fitted today with its original engine and gearbox, and finished in its original colour combination of Old English White with red leather upholstery and a black hood, it drives today absolutely sensationally. The ride/handling balance seems just perfect and the silky-smooth, 4.2-litre straight-six just purrs along beautifully, as it would have done when new.Just two owners have had the pleasure of enjoying this car and our vendor (who owns several E-Types) can not speak highly enough of this car and the way it drives. It certainly presents very well in the metal and the history file shows a photographic record of just one restoration which took place between 1978 and 2011. At the time the car was taken off the road in 1978, it had covered some 92,380 miles and the pictures show the standard of the restoration, which was absolutely comprehensive with everything replaced or rebuilt where possible, with the focus on maintaining originality wherever possible. The car finally returned to the road again in 2011 and has covered very few miles since. Further bills and receipts in the file show regular and thorough maintenance and very little usage over the last decade or so. It has clearly been indoor stored in a heated garage and regularly started and used for short but enjoyable trips by our vendor.Viewing and driving is very strongly encouraged when lock-down allows. This is perhaps the very best way to celebrate the 60th Anniversary this year of the iconic ultimate British sports car.

A unique opportunity to take ownership of chassis #60 on the 60th anniversary of the E-Type.Beautiful home-market, right-hand drive, flat floor fixed-head CoupeFinished in classic colours, Opalescent Gunmetal Grey with a red leather interiorChassis number 60 of 175 right-hand drive flat floor Coupés emerging from 43 years ownershipEnjoyed for many years before a complete ground-up restoration was commenced in 2000Accompanied by a history file with photographs of the restoration works, invoices, old MOTs, its Jaguar Heritage Certificate and the current V5Offered with some spares including the original radio (to be installed), fitted car cover and a collection of E-Type literature.Emerging from 43 years of private ownership, this beautiful, early home-market 3.8 Fixed Head Coupe is finished in the classic colour combination of Opalescent Gunmetal Grey with a red leather interior. Manufactured in November 1961 and first registered on 1st January 1962, Chassis 860060 is an early ‘flat floor’ example, one of the first 175 Coupes built before the recessed footwells were adopted and one of just 1,559 right-hand drive, 3.8 Coupes constructed in total, so rather a rare car in its own right.Accompanying the car is a history file including some old MOTs, invoices for restoration works, photographs taken during the restoration, copies of old logbooks, Jaguar Heritage Certificate and a current registration V5c. Also forming part of the sale is a collection of books, mostly restorers guides, reference books and parts manuals. What appears to be a period-correct stereo and some other assorted spares are also included along with a high-quality fitted car cover.Having regularly enjoyed the E-Type for over 22 years, our vendor’s late partner set about a full and detailed restoration of Chassis #60. The restoration appears to be of a good quality, well finished with some components upgraded to improve driveability and pleasingly, many of the original features unique to the early cars remain in place. The engine fires on-the-button and sounds keen and healthy, the gears engage as they should, the brakes feel good and overall this lovely Jaguar feels tight and fast and just as you would hope.For now, early Roadsters command a higher value than their solid top siblings although the early Coupe’s purity of line renders it as undoubtedly the more beautiful. Perhaps this gap will narrow over time with early cars certainly the most desirable and rightfully forming part of any notable classic car collection. This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of chassis #60, on the 60th Anniversary of the Jaguar E-Type.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: E-TYPEYear: 1961Chassis Number: 860060Transmission: ManualEngine Number: TBCDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 2500 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: RedClick here for more details and images

A rare and original Series 1 4.2 E-Type Roadster.Rare UK, right-hand drive, 4.2 Series 1 RoadsterOnly five owners from new with continuous historyVery original and honestBelieved to be the original colours, engine and gearboxCelebrity provenance, low mileageOnce the property of famous TV and film actor - and British National Treasure - the Honourable Nigel Havers, this rare and highly original Jaguar E-Type Series 1 Roadster 4.2 was first supplied to the UK market as a right hand drive car on 18-3-1965. Since then it has only had four subsequent owners, all of whom have kept the car for an extended period of time.Always red with black leather it is perhaps the ultimate symbol of British sports cars in the 1960s and today displays all the signs of a very original and honest car. It has certainly been seriously enjoyed throughout its life, as both the widow of the current deceased owner, and Nigel himself, recently confirmed to us. Over the years many happy and treasured memories of trips away both in the UK and Europe were recalled during current ownership, which commenced back in September 2004.The car has received enthusiastic owner maintenance over their tenure with the history file showing regular annual MOTs and parts acquired all in the car’s history file. In fact, MOTs found in the file, the oldest of which dates back to 1975, suggest that the indicated mileage of 30,374 may indeed be correct, although the lack of every single certificate means that we cannot warrant that.The file also shows a picture book of an earlier restoration, as well as many bills for regular maintenance and parts acquired throughout its life. Passing an MOT in late Jan 2021 with a few advisories, the car is now ready and ripe for a full restoration. It could be enjoyed as is and maintained and improved over time, or it could form the basis of a very worthwhile restoration with the potential to become a Concours contender when finished, as all the right ingredients for a pedigree E-Type are there.Original UK, Series 1 UK Roadsters, particularly with the highly favoured 4.2-litre straight-six, are hard to find today. As this year is the 60th Anniversary of this amazing British icon, we are proud to offer such an original and unmolested example with a great back story and known provenance.

Possibly one of the finest Series 2 E-Types available today.Returned from the US in early 2012 and registered here on 08/10/2012Converted to right-hand drive and meticulously restored by our vendorDeliciously finished in liquid Jaguar Dark Blue with a classic red leather interior and red carpetsFitted with a Jaguar five-speed manual gearbox from Guy Broad (original four-speed supplied with the car)Fully re-chromed. New chrome wire wheelsGood (recent) history file with invoices for all the work completedJaguar continued to develop the E-Type throughout its life and the first results of this programme of improvements were introduced in 1964 when the newly enlarged 4.2-litre XK engine was installed. Maximum power remained unchanged at 265bhp, however, torque was usefully increased which, combined with the arrival of a fully synchronised Moss gearbox and more consistent fuel flow from the twin SU petrol pumps, contributed greatly to smooth progress.The Series 2 of 1968 was a further quantum leap with an improved cooling system and better Girling brakes addressing those, less than endearing Serious 1 characteristics, of getting too hot and not being able to stop. The Series 2 also introduced several design changes, largely due to U.S. Federal legislation, and the most noted exterior features are the open headlights, a larger grille opening, re-positioned and larger front indicators and rear lights below the bumpers. The 4.2-litre XK power straight-six now featured ‘ribbed’ cam-covers, whilst inside there were better seats with head-rests, new switchgear and the ignition switch was now on the steering column.According to its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, SMW 288G was originally supplied in Regency Red with a black leather interior to Jaguar Cars of New York before returning home in early 2012 and being registered here on the 8th of October 2012.Our vendor duly set to and completely stripped the car to a bare shell prior to having it converted to right-hand drive, professionally prepared, primed, freshly top-coated and then delivered back to his workshop where the arduous task of the rebuild began, all completed by himself. The car was finished in Jaguar Dark Blue with a brand new Red leather interior, a rare combination surprisingly, because the result is simply spectacular. Mechanically, the car is as it left the factory with one exception. Our vendor purchased a Jaguar 5-speed gearbox from Guy Broad, Jaguar Specialists and then enlisted Retro Marques of Strensham to install it, the total cost of which was nearly £5,000. (the original gearbox which is fully functioning is available from the vendor should any potential buyer wish to revert back to 4-speed). Looking through the history file there are receipts totalling thousands of pounds for all the new parts used to build this car including all the parts to convert to right-hand drive.All of the chrome work was stripped back and restored by Chrome Restoration Services of Exhall in Coventry and replacement parts were supplied by David Manners, Martin Robey, SNG Barratt and XK Engineering amongst others. To finish off, a brand new set of Chrome Wire Wheels were fitted and a new Mohair hood. The underside of the Jag and the engine bay both present really well, engendering confidence.A delightful example of the civilised Series 2, almost Concours standard and welcome anywhere.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: E-TYPEYear: 1968Chassis Number: 1R7054Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 7R1124-9Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: RedClick here for more details and images

Fastidiously restored and totally correct, a new chapter in NAN 175s compelling life story awaits.Distributed via Henlys to R. P. Powell Motors Limited of Forest Gate, East LondonDelivered to first owner Dr. Kenneth McCrea on 20/03/1958Just three recorded owners since, including one single ownership for some 45 yearsOffered for sale by the family of prominent Jaguar collector and historic racer, the late David HamRetaining original cylinder block and gearbox, and accompanied by original cylinder headExtensively restored, including £8,500 respray and full engine rebuild with Rob Beere fast-road specification cylinder headAccompanied by its JDHT Certificate and current and buff logbooksUnveiled at the 1955 Earl’s Court Motor Show, the Jaguar Mark 1, then referred to simply as the 2.4 litre Saloon, marked a new departure for Jaguar, both in mechanical and philosophical terms. The first production Jaguar to feature a monocoque chassis, it was powered by a new de-stroked version of Jaguar’s highly successful 3.4-litre XK engine, which had already scored three Le Mans wins in five years and had proved central to the success of the company’s sporting XK120 and XK140 models.Noticeably more compact and agile than the contemporary yet somewhat confusingly-designated Mark 7 saloon, it aimed to access new markets on both sides of the Atlantic by positioning itself as a highly affordable family car, at just £1,442 including taxes, which offered spirited performance. During the next four years, over 37,000 examples were built, of which just over half were 2.4-litre variants similar to that offered here.Originally distributed by Henlys of London to Jaguar agents R. P. Powell Motors Ltd. of Forest Gate, East London, this particular example was delivered to its first owner Dr. Kenneth McCrea of Upminster, Essex on 20 March 1958. Finished in the timeless Jaguar colour combination of British Racing Green with Tan leather interior, the car was completed to Special Equipment specification and boasted the superior and very welcome four-wheel disc brake option afforded to later Mark 1s, in place of the four-wheel drums fitted to early series examples.Dr. McCrea kept the car for a little over three years, before selling it to near neighbour Ronald Waitworth of Purfleet, Essex in April 1961. Mr. Waitworth retained the car a further seven years, before ownership passed to Nicholas Mackenzie of Queen’s Gate, London SW7 in March 1968. Remarkably, Mr. Mackenzie kept the car for the next 45 years, its occasional use and later long-term storage accounting for its remarkably low mileage of just over 74,000 when offered for sale in 2013.At this point, NAN 175 was acquired by prominent historic racer, the late David Ham, to join his collection of other significant Jaguars, including his treasured Lister-Jaguar, coincidentally a car of the same year of manufacture, and one which he too had owned for some 45 years. Having been looking for “the right” Mark 1 for some time, he reasoned that NAN 175’s highly original condition, short ownership chain and comparatively low mileage were all decisive factors in its purchase.Unsurprisingly, significant signs of ageing, both bodily and mechanically, had begun to emerge by the time the car had entered its seventh decade, and consequently Mr Ham and his loyal part-time mechanic embarked upon a comprehensive restoration. Mercifully, Mr Mackenzie’s sympathetic ownership had ensured that, unlike with so many other Jaguar saloons, nothing had been done to disguise or conceal the areas of corrosion, which made diagnosis of the problem areas refreshingly straightforward. Subsequently, extensive repairs were made to several of the Mark 1’s known areas of weakness, including the rear spring hangers, jacking points, sills, footwells, front wheel arches, front head and sidelight surrounds and the front strengthening brackets (also known as ‘crow’s feet’).Mechanically, the car had been well preserved, although it was considered prudent to rebuild the engine whilst removed from the car to facilitate the body repairs. A complete bottom end overhaul, including a cylinder block skim and re-bore, was carried out by marque specialist, Martin Adams, at a cost of £2,264. During the course of the engine strip down, some localised heat damage was identified to the original cylinder head and it was decided for both originality and economic reasons that the original item would be preserved and a replacement sourced. Consequently, a Rob Beere Racing-built, polished and ported ‘B-series’ cylinder head with SU carburettors was procured from M & C Wilkinson at a cost of some £1,800, this being fitted to the newly built bottom end prior to its reinstallation in the car. It should be stressed that the original cylinder head accompanies the sale.Once the body repairs had been effected, a bare metal respray was carried out by Retford Autofinishers at a cost of some £8,500, which included further metalwork repairs to the base of all four doors, and refurbishment of the car’s distinctive rear spats. Further areas of expenditure included the fitment of a new brake servo, refurbishment of all four brake calipers and the restoration of the car’s original radiator with modern high-efficiency core by Anglia Radiators; the latter at a cost of some £500 alone.Sadly, Mr. Ham passed away in early 2016, and whilst he did see the car taxed and roadworthy, there remain a small handful of outstanding jobs which require completing before full restoration “sign off” can truly be achieved. These include the fitting of a new set of interior carpets, calibration of the manual choke mechanism, troubleshooting of the ancillary electrical systems and fine tuning of the engine and newly-rebuilt SU carburettors, the latter ideally being performed on a rolling road.Often overlooked, somewhat unjustly, in light of its successor the Mark 2, it is noteworthy that the Mark 1 saloon tips the scales almost 200 kilograms lighter than its younger counterpart, and offers superior rarity value given that almost 84,000 of the later model were constructed. Evoking a vintage and hand-built feel on account of its more intimate interior, smaller glass area and relatively restrained use of chromework, not for nothing has the earlier car been referred to as a “four-door XK”.Perhaps best characterised as a car where the vast majority of the restoration “hard yards” have already been covered and, crucially, the myriad of Jaguar body restoration pitfalls circumnavigated, this highly correct and original example has been restored to its last-named owner’s exacting standards, and is ready for final commissioning to the new owner’s personal preferences. Eminently usable and extremely versatile, a new chapter in NAN 175’s compelling life story awaits. SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: MK1 SE 2.4Year: 1958Chassis Number: S910130DNTransmission: Manual Engine Number: BC 5088-8Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Tan Click here for more details and images

A driver-focused XK120, fresh from a two-year restoration, with some choice upgrades.The XK120 Roadster - as elegant as XK Jaguars can ever beA landmark Jaguar sports car and the world’s fastest production car in its daySourced specifically from the US by Jaguar specialists for restoration/enhancementTwo-year nut and bolt rebuild, now in RHD with added driving enhancements (including power-steering, disc brakes, uprated suspension)Beautiful colour combination of California Sage paintwork with a Biscuit interiorRecently finished, shaken down and ready to enjoyA car-starved Britain, still trundling around in perpendicular pre-war hangover vehicles, glimpsed the future in October 1948 with the launch of the Jaguar XK120 at the Earls Court Motor Show. Production commenced in 1949 in Coventry, and the XK's swoopy shape and stylish occupants would become a common sight on British roads over the next 15 years. It heralded the arrival of Jaguar's famous 3.4-litre twin overhead camshaft XK engine, (the basis of all their engines for the next 25 years) with an alloy cylinder head and twin side-draught SU carburettors producing nearly 160bhp. The “120” referred to the car's top speed which, at the time, made it the fastest production car in the world. Jaguar seems to have always had a flair for marketing and to illustrate that the car's top speed was not a figment of a publicist's imagination, in May 1949, on the Jabbeke to Aeltre autoroute, an XK120 with its hood and side screens in place recorded a speed of 126mph, and no less than 132mph with the hood and windscreen detached and an undertray fitted. The car was in almost instant demand and when on to spawn the famous XK lineage of fast and elegant sports cars.The car offered here is a 1952 Jaguar XK120 OTS (or Roadster) which has been meticulously restored from the ground up over the last two years by long-established Jaguar and Bentley specialists ‘DJB Engineering’ of Northamptonshire. The father and son team that run the company imported this car from the US specifically for this project. The car’s Heritage Certificate tells us that this particular XK120 OTS was manufactured on the 20th of May 1952 and was (unsurprisingly) LHD originally, fitted with a manual gearbox and painted Suede Green with matching interior and a French Grey hood. It was sold through Jaguar distributors, a Hornburg of Los Angeles, to its first owner, the pleasingly named, Mr K McCorkle.Converted to right-hand drive and with fully renewed bodywork, adopting a fast-road/racer aesthetic, the car now looks simply resplendent in Aston Martin California Sage, by craftsman Steve Chandler, with a Biscuit interior by Workshop 77 of Weedon Bec. Knowing the potential of these early XKs as proper driving machines, DJB Engineering also ensured this car has had some sympathetic upgrades beneath the skin. Fitted with a full stainless-steel exhaust, a 5-speed gearbox, adjustable shock-absorbers, hydraulic power-steering, polyurethane suspension bushes, hard passivated suspension components, an external oil cooler, larger volume radiator with an electric fan, and full servo-assisted disc brakes with Coopercraft billet calipers, this car is now extremely capable. Added to this, the lustful 3.4-litre XK engine has been fully rebuilt and dressed, with an overhauled cylinder head fitted with a new composite head gasket and new timing chains installed.During the restoration, simply no corners were cut, and the car features virtually every available improvement to make it most exciting to campaign. Photographic records show every stage of the process, literally from the prepared chassis and up. The car has been ‘shaken-down’ with road trails and performs as well as it presents. Father and son were sorely tempted to hang on to their recently finished car, such is its appeal and ability, however, a new project awaits.The XK120 OTS was hugely influential in period and has an elegance of line that would be completely at home on the manicured lawns of Pebble Beach, however, there is no denying that, in standard form, the 1940’s mechanicals are a touch ‘agricultural’. This superb example, on the other hand, with its intelligent upgrades drives, brakes and handles like a ‘modern classic’ offering, we believe, the best of both worlds. SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XK120 OTSYear: 1952Chassis Number: 672237Transmission: ManualEngine Number: W5009-8Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Biscuit Click here for more details and images

A gentleman’s express, just 18,000 miles and in simply splendid condition.Highest-spec Sovereign model with only 18,093 miles, a couple of previous owners and a comprehensive history fileNaturally-aspirated 4.0-litre V8 with a more than adequate 290bhp and a proper big-capacity growlBeautiful condition inside and out, a testament to its cosseted and well-maintained lifeA remarkable car that offers all the old-school charm of a ‘proper Jaguar’ with modern and capable underpinningsThe Jaguar XJ (X308) is a full-size luxury saloon manufactured and marketed by Jaguar Cars from 1997 to 2003 across two generations and featuring Jaguar's AJ-V8 and Jaguar's independent rear suspension. It was the third and final evolution of the XJ40 platform which had been in production since 1986.The ‘Sovereign’ represented the highest luxury specification for Jaguar models, sitting next to the XJR. Sovereigns featured more elaborate and expensive wood veneer, commonly highly figured Burr Walnut, with window control and ashtray trim panels also in veneer as opposed to plastic in other models. The leather was also of a higher quality and often features contrasting piping, with seats being of the traditional fluted style. The suspension setup was biased towards touring and the wheels were normally 16" or 17" to provide high profile tyres for additional ride quality. Computer Active Technology System adaptive suspension was also offered as a rare option.Externally, a Sovereign can be distinguished by the complete use of highly polished steel/chrome work around windows and rear light clusters, as well as polished radiator grille and boot garnish. The cars are simply badged as ‘Sovereign’ with no mention of ‘XJ’.Having discontinued production of both the AJ16 inline-six and V12 engines, Jaguar offered the new XJ model with their newly designed V8 engine (named the AJ-V8) only. It was available in either 3.2-litre or 4.0-litre form (the latter with a Supercharger in the XJR model). The Sovereign utilised the naturally-aspirated 4.0-litre V8 with a more than adequate 290bhp and a proper big-capacity growl, married to the ZF 5HP24 5-speed automatic gearbox.‘Motor Trend’ described the X308 as, "a masterful blend of British luxury and American muscle," continuing, "this car makes you feel elegant and gets sweeter by the mile," calling it a "muscle car in a tuxedo.” Brian Cooley, an editor of ‘Roadshow’, called the X308 his "favourite modern car." In 2018, ‘Motorious’ claimed the X308 provides the most luxurious ride of any car ever produced due to its status as the "last steel-bodied XJ and the first to feature a modern V8 drivetrain, the perfect concoction of classic and contemporary Jaguars," continuing that, "this is a car that fits anywhere it goes, be that the supermarket car park, a country hotel or even outside the Casino de Monte-Carlo." Jeremy Clarkson of ‘Top Gear’ remarked that the X308 is "faster, in the real world than a Ferrari F355... fastest saloon I've ever seen, the epitome of luxury, beauty, and performance.”The car presented here is a 1998 Jaguar XJ Sovereign with only 18,093 miles, a couple of previous owners and a comprehensive history file. Quite possible, the best example of its type available, this is a remarkable car than now offers all the old-school charm of a ‘proper Jaguar’ with modern and capable underpinnings. Coming from a privateer owner, a true Jaguar marque enthusiast, having owned a beautiful Mk2 3.8 and XK140 amongst others over his years, he knows a good car and is sad to be parted from this true modern classic. The car was put into storage in 2003 and was recently recommissioned with a comprehensive service and new tyres. In an elegant combination of Jaguar Topaz paintwork with Oatmeal leather interior, this is a fine, comfortable, and elegant motorcar. With many years of loyal service ahead, the condition and mileage belying its age, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a true ‘Big Cat’ living up to the Jaguar slogan of 'Grace, Space and Pace'.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XJ SOVEREIGN 4.0 V8 SWBYear: 1998Chassis Number: SAJJHALD3CR847261Transmission: Automatic Engine Number: BC9805310944 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 18000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Oatmeal leatherClick here for more details and images

Classic British thoroughbred motoring at its very best.Stunningly presented in Signal Red with a Black leather interiorThe subject of a photo-documented, full restoration some 14 years agoLots of intelligent, driver-focussed upgrades; overdrive, unleaded head, fully Poly-bushed’, Konis, electronic ignition, uprated alternator etc72-spoke chrome wires, new wool carpets, a Moto-Lita wheel and a new Mohair hood.Supplied with a comprehensive history file including old MOTs and reams of invoicesWhen Michelotti’s sharp-suited new TR4 was unveiled at the London motor show in 1961, the car looked thoroughly modern, especially when compared with the old-fashioned TR3A that it replaced. However, the reality was that, under the skin, the car was still very much a TR3A as little more than the outer skin was actually new. Despite this, the TR4, and the TR4A that succeeded it were among the fastest affordable sports cars on offer throughout the 1960s. Cheap to buy and run, the cars’ road manners, however, left a little room for improvement over the TR3A, despite the TR4 having gained rack and pinion steering, wider front and rear tracks to make it more surefooted, and an all-synchro gearbox. However, as stylish transport, they were pretty much unbeatable. All it cried out for, to compete with the new wave of saloon GTs was more power. Lots. The stock 2-litre GT6 engine was tried and, although smooth, was actually no quicker than the old tractor-derived four-pot. The answer was simple though – enlarge the straight-six by a massive 500cc to give a lusty 2.5-litre and make it breathe easier. With a better cylinder head and wilder camshaft, the engine worked well, although it was a bit lumpy at low revs until fuel injection was fitted to better monitor fuel delivery. All this led, in October 1967, to the launch of the TR5. Outwardly the car was barely discernible from the TR4A, but the new engine, complete with Lucas fuel injection, turned the TR into a genuine performance car, with a handy 150bhp on tap.In truth, the TR5 was little more than a test bed for the new engine (which quickly found its way into the 2000 saloon). Realistically the car was effectively a stop-gap and only had to last around 18 months until Karmann had finished its work on the replacement, the TR6, however, with the benefit of hindsight, the TR5 is arguably the best of the lot, enjoying the clean unsullied looks of the TR4 but with the raunchiness of the TR6.PHY 99G is the particular TR5 on offer today and has been with our vendor since April 2015. The history file details three previous keepers with the first revealed to be a Mr John Warburton of Horncastle and the file also contains a lovely buff logbook in excellent condition showing the car lived in Jersey around 1972. Finished in sparkling Signal Red with a new Black leather interior piped in White, the pretty Triumph presents extremely well and is one of the best we have seen.The history file shows details of a major body-off restoration back in 2007 by Kustom 101 of Tewkesbury with photos showing the naked chassis fully stripped and prepared to accept the freshly restored bodyshell. This work was carried out some 14 years ago, however, the Triumph has stood the test of time well as you can see from the images.In addition to having show-quality looks, PHY has benefited from a number of intelligent, driver-focussed upgrades including overdrive, an unleaded-head conversion, fluted and drilled disc brakes, fully ‘Poly-bushed’ suspension, Koni shock-absorbers, electronic ignition, uprated alternator and uprated headlights. It’s gorgeous looks have been enhanced by 72-spoke chrome wire wheels, new wool carpets, a Moto-Lita steering wheel and a new vinyl dashtop. The hood frame has recently been stripped, powder coated and then dressed in a brand new Mohair hood. The straight-six soundtrack is given free-rein by the addition of a full sports stainless exhaust just adding to that perfect driving experience.With Summer just around the corner and the likelihood of us being let loose in our cars this year, the timing could not have been better to invest in this beautiful Coventry-built TR5. SpecificationMake: TRIUMPHModel: TR5Year: 1968Chassis Number: CP2338Transmission: ManualEngine Number: CP2401EDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Chassis-up professional restoration just completed to the very highest of standardsReturned from the US around 10 years ago with a total rebuild in mindTotal, professional, nut and bolt, chassis up restoration to the very highest of standards. Only 24 miles covered sinceFinished in Autumn Red with a beige hide interior and matching hood, tonneau and side screensSuperb attention to detail throughout. Possibly one of the best on the road todayNow ready for that trip to the pub that we are all longing for or even a spell in the concours arenaAlthough, instantly recognisable as a T-Series Midget thanks to its perpendicular radiator shell, flowing wings and rear-mounted spare wheel, the TD broke important new ground for the Abingdon marque. Although based on the existing Y-Type chassis, it was the first MG sports car to feature independent double-wishbone front suspension and rack and pinion steering and the new model also boasted a hypoid-bevel back axle, a scuttle reinforcement hoop and twin leading-shoe front brakes.With a track of 50 inches, it was around five inches wider than its predecessor, the TC, which always a little ‘cosy’. Powered by the proven 1250cc XPAG engine allied to a four-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg. Riding on fifteen-inch steel “easy-clean” wheels as standard, the TD also sported a mirror-image dashboard (thus facilitating either LHD or RHD production) and chrome-plated bumpers. In July 1951 the 1250cc XPAG engine received a new block, a new sump, a new bell-housing and a new flywheel in order to accommodate a larger clutch. The engine number prefix was changed to TD2, and MG TDs fitted with this engine have subsequently become known as TD2 models, A great success story, the vast majority of the 29,665 cars produced were sold overseas mainly to the States.The simply delectable TD2 on offer here was one of those US-bound cars and was imported from there by its present owner approx around 10 years ago, with a total rebuild in mind. The little MG was basically sound but a little tired and was ripe for restoration, however, other projects got in the way and it was a further six years before the restoration commenced. All’s well that ends well, as the TD has recently been completed after a total, professional nut and bolt, chassis up restoration to the very highest of standards and presents as possibly one of the very best on the road today.Finished in the rare factory colour of Autumn Red, the standard of finish is exceptional even down to the door shuts and nooks and crannies. The interior is also a delight in Beige leather with Beige Rexine on the dashboard, white-faced Jaeger instruments, Bakelite switches and a four-spoke Bluemels sprung wheel. The only minor difference from standard being the body-coloured grille slats which should match the interior trim colour but in reality, appear as if designed that way. Nothing remains untouched, with engine, gearbox and final drive being rebuilt, a full rewire and total re-chrome alongside a new hood, tonneau cover and side screens. The attention to detail is textbook and even the underside is of show quality. Whilst the MG remains left-hand drive, all mounts and fixing points remain in place to allow for easy conversion to right-hand drive should the next custodian wish to follow that path. With only minor shake-down runs undertaken so far, a period of running-in is highly recommended to extract the best from this stunning TD.Not to be confused with the average, this particular TD will be equally at home either out on the open road or in the Concours arena.SpecificationMake: MGModel: TDYear: 1952Chassis Number: XPAGTDLHX9332Transmission: ManualEngine Number: LHX9332Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 42394 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: Beige LeatherClick here for more details and images

A well-documented and well-built racing car with lots of potential.Presented in superb overall condition and expertly prepared for competitive racingThe 5.6-litre V8 engine has recently been rebuilt by fellow racer Simon LaneGearbox has just been rebuilt by Simon Green motorsportComprehensive history dating back to 1992 with supporting pictorial storybookEligible for CSCC Future Classics, AMOC Intermarque and recently raced in Bernie’s V8’sAs the 1960s roared on, so too did the introduction of a new generation of powerful, big block V8   saloon cars in the United States that came to be known as 'Muscle Cars'. Ford claimed 'bragging rights' with its dramatic new Mustang, destined to become one of the all-time greats, whilst other 'Motor City' favourites included the Dodge Charger, Pontiac GTO, Plymouth Barracuda and the Chevrolet Camaro. Introduced in 1966, the Camaro was offered in 2-door form with both coupé and convertible body styles to choose from, as well as a range of different engine sizes, and trim and styling packages. Top of the pile at Chevrolet was the macho Z28 powered by a rumbling 302cu.in. 5-litre small-block V8 and this was their chosen contender for the battles that lay ahead... Whilst salesman in car dealerships across the States fought it out for units sold, Chevrolet decided that it wanted to take the fight to Ford on the race tracks of America and prepared cars that complied with the 'Group 2' regulations drafted for the Sports Car Club of America Trans-American Series allowing cars with up to 5.7 litre engines to compete. Famous Camaro drivers included Mark Donohue, ex-F1 pilot Ronny Bucknum and Jerry Thompson. It was Donohue though, who took the spoils in the 1968 and '69 seasons driving a Penske-prepared Camaro with utter domination in the Trans-Am series. It wasn't long before European teams and drivers spotted the successes of their American counterparts and these cars soon appeared at race circuits across Europe.The story with this particular car started in 1992 when a 1967 road legal Chevrolet Camaro was sourced with the intention of building it into a race car to compete in the HSCC Improved Road Sports Championship. The car later ran in the Historic American Racers Association series run by paddock favourite Bernie Chodosh, where this example was often seen at the sharp end of the grid. For many years the car was enjoyed and raced before being subsequently sold and campaigned by other owners. Fast forward a number of years where the racer who originally built this Camaro re-discovered it languishing in a unit and decided to buy his old car back. A full rebuild of the car ensued, this time with the help of his son, who was now of the age to drive and who proved a decent ‘pedaler’ going on to much success. Sporting a 5.6-litre V8 engine, which has recently been rebuilt by fellow racer Simon Lane, the car runs a 4-speed manual gearbox. An ATL aluminium fuel tank resides in the boot, and we suggest all potential buyers of the car satisfy themselves as to the legality and currency of all safety equipment on board including seats, harnesses and fire extinguisher.Supplied with a hardback book put together by a previous owner showing a pictorial history of the car along with a decent file, this American Muscle-car has clearly been welcomed back into the family with lots of attention and provided years of happy racing memories. A potential candidate for gaining FIA papers, this car will get you on to the grid in the AMOC Intermarque Series, Bernie’s V8s and CSCC Future Classic and with the growing interest in ‘muscle cars’ from this era, will be welcome anywhere.  SpecificationMake: CHEVROLETModel: CAMAROYear: 1967Chassis Number: Not SpecifiedEngine Number: Not SpecifiedDrive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: Black ClothClick here for more details and images

An important part of, not only Motorsport History, but British Post-War Social History.John Heath and George Abecassis evolved a modified version of their successful 1949 HW-Alta design for the 1950 seasonA prototype and four team cars were to have been built, Team drivers were to be Abecassis, Heath and Stirling MossIn the event, only 3 cars and a prototype were built, FB IOI, 102, 103 and 104Built officially by HW Motors they were known as 'HWM's, a name that is synonymous with Britain's first post-war steps into the world of Grand PrixOffered by Silverstone Auctions is the first of the four works cars that has an incredible race history in 1950 raced by Moss, John Heath, Lance Macklin, George Abecassis and Rudi Fischer In all, it raced in fifteen events across Europe including Reims, Grand Prix de Bern and Grand Premio De Bari In October 1950, Stirling gave it its swansong win at Castle Combe before being sold to Oscar Moore in 1951Now road registered, XMC 34, it was purchased by our vendor in 1965 and enjoyed a further lease of life usually driven by some fast ladies at Midland hill climb eventsThis is an important car and we suggest you read the full description on our websiteThe significance of HWM to British motor racing history has been widely overlooked yet John Heath’s foray into the European racing scene with his private team of three Formula Two HWMs in 1950 marked the first post-war attack on International racing by a full team of British cars and effectively put Britain back on the motor racing map. Despite a shoestring budget and daunting physical, financial and logistical problems, John Heath’s enterprising little Ecurie raced at nineteen British and Continental meetings during 1950 with creditable success. In so doing they brought immeasurable prestige to Britain across a Continent still recovering from the ravages of war. Perhaps even more important to Britain’s future prestige in motor racing, during that I950 season the perspicacious Heath and partner George Abecassis gave the first chance of big time motor racing to a confident twenty-year-old rising star. His name was Stirling Moss.For the 1949 season, Heath decided that the team should design and build a car of their own for Formula Two and sports car racing. This dual-purpose car used a 2-litre Alta engine in a twin-tube chassis with wishbone front suspension, a transverse leaf spring, Standard 12 uprights, a Citroen steering rack (HW Motors were Citroen dealers), an ENV pre-selector gearbox and a live rear axle. This HW-Alta proved a great success, with viceless handling and took Heath to victory in the 70-mile 1949 BRDC Race in the IoM and a close second to Possi’s Delahaye in the GP de l’ACF, run for sports cars, at Comminges.Encouraged by this success, Heath and Abecassis evolved a modified version of the HW-Alta design for the 1950 season as the nucleus of a three car team. The offer of an entry at Le Mans encouraged the adoption of the dual-purpose design (a rear-engined F2 car had been contemplated), but when it was discovered that only prize-money was on offer, the Sarthe entry was dropped and the cars ran as open-wheel single-seaters throughout 1950. Team drivers were to be Abecassis, Heath and Moss (Peter Clark, Nick Haines and Johnnie Claes were to have been second drivers at Le Mans). A prototype and four team cars were to have been built, the fourth to have been a spare. In the event, Heath, Alf Francis and their small team of Tom O’Hara and Rex Woodgate, with Jack Tolly as a part-time welder, built only four cars, including the prototype, though it seems that an additional chassis may have been laid down but not completed. They were given chassis and engine numbers FB IOI, 102, 103 and 104, FB being Geoffrey Taylor’s prefix for Formula B Alta engines, FB the forerunner of F2. The first three numbers related to the cars intended for the team and, perversely, the prototype seems to have been given the last number. Presumably it was built without a number and given 104 for carnet purposes after the others had been allocated. It had been intended to sell the prototype to Baring, a locally based privateer. In fact Baring bought the brand-new 103 and the prototype was taken on to the team strength with 101 and 102. These new machines from HW Motors were given the name “HWM”.With confidence high and a great design, they famously gave breaks to young drivers of potential with the late Sir Stirling Moss being effectively offered his first works drive debuting at Goodwood at the Easter Meeting in April finishing 2nd in the Easter Handicap.Offered by Silverstone Auctions is the first of the four works cars that has an incredible race history in 1950 raced by Moss, John Heath, Lance Macklin, George Abecassis and Rudi Fischer. In all, it raced in fifteen events across Europe including Reims, Grand Prix de Bern and Grand Premio De Bari. In October 1950, Stirling gave it its swansong win at Castle Combe before being sold to Oscar Moore in 1951 who continued to race it with great success and even registered it for the road with the North London registration of XMC 34. It was purchased by our vendor in 1965 and enjoyed a further lease of life usually driven by some fast ladies at Midland hill climb events.Going back to 1950, only two cars were finished for the Easter Monday Goodwood event and HWM allowed privateer Alistair ‘Buster’ Baring to drive one to keep him sweet as he had the fourth built car earmarked for him. Stirling finished sixth in the Chichester Cup Formula Libre race and second in the Easter Handicap. A third car was ready for Roubaix in early May and Baring would get his own car a week later for Mons when finally all four works cars ran. They all had minor bodywork differences and the car offered here is 1950/A – the prototype. It was to be shared between George Abecassis (seven races) and John Heath (five races/ fourth place at Reims) Lance Macklin (four times, third at Mettet) and Sir Stirling Moss twice (first and third at Castle Combe). The result sheets show that, remarkably, the works HWMs were only second best to the likes of Alberto Ascari in the Ferrari and the works Alfas of Farina and Fangio.To help finance the 1951 season, the three works cars were sold off having been equipped with mudguards and lights to make them more saleable. In 1951 our car, last driven by Moss, was sold to privateer racer Oscar Moore of North London who registered it for the road and fitted a Jaguar 3.4 engine from an XK120 but enlarged to 3781 cc. He often liked to say he beat Coventry to it! This was the first HWM Jaguar and was very competitive from the outset capable of beating C-Types on twisty circuits. It was eventually sold to Plymouth motor trader, Gerry Scali, before turning up with London trader Danny Margulies who had handled the sale of the fabulous HWM Streamliner. It was purchased by our vendor, Terry Grainger, a well known Worcestershire architect and cricketer in 1965 and some fifty five years later he still owns it. At some point the bodywork had seen better days and Oldbury Wing and Panels Ltd. were tasked with carefully copying the original body. Over the past half century it has competed with great distinction at various hill-climbs driven by Georgina Baillie-Hill, Davina Galica and Gillian Goldsmith.This incredible piece of British motorsport history can trace its origins to those charismatic ‘Garagiste’ at HWM who took on 1950s Grand Prix legendsClick here for more details and images

David Appleby and Tony Pond's superb creation based on 6R4 Clubman's Chassis #183 - offered at No ReserveA factory built MG Metro 6R4 still retaining the original chassis number, upgraded in period to become the very first DAM 4100 ~ born out of a collaboration between legendary works 6R4 driver Tony Pond and works rally car engineer and driver David ApplebyPresented in immaculate condition – David Appleby Engineering overhaul including suspension, new seats, belts, fuel system including tanks, electronic dash and MOTEC engine management system with only demonstration miles sinceRecent engine re-manufacture by Dyfi Precision (Pete Goodman himself) and full Dyno-test at DAE in 2018 giving 275BHPDog box, thick-wall International diff casings, butterfly injection, all the usual goodies,  has only been used for charity events and demonstrationsUniquely offered as No ReserveDavid Appleby has been involved in rallying since the early '80s, and it wasn't long before his enthusiasm for the sport and immaculate engineering skills led to him being offered the chance to work for Austin Rover Motorsport in 1985 and 1986 tending to the works MG Metro 6R4s driven by Tony Pond and Malcolm Wilson. He built up an extensive knowledge of the 6R4 and when it was obvious that they were reaching the end of their useful life at International level in early 1987, he decided to set up in business with Tony Pond building and preparing the legion of 'Clubman' 6R4s that were enjoying life at club level and in Rallycross. Unfortunately, this “pairing” did not last very long but the concept of modifying the 10 or so Clubman’s 6R4s that the pair had bought from Austin Rover into the DAM/TPR 4100 was born out of their experience in building and driving extreme rally cars.David was highly involved in building, preparing and selling Metro 6R4s for a number of years but always felt that he could have done a better job with the 6R4 and felt that improved aerodynamics, as well as ease of servicing, would be helpful.So, bravely, he 'bit the bullet' and started to create what was to become the DAM 4100. From the initial designs to the car seeing the light of day at the beginning of 1995 took almost three years, but David had to fit the new car around existing clients' cars. He said, “The old Metro 6R4 shape was very dated, and I think that what I've produced is something like the Group B cars would be looking like today." The new bodywork is Kevlar with easy-remove front and rear panels which flip-up for servicing. A14 LOO was the first prototype designed by Tony and David and was constructed as a standard wheelbase car from Clubman’s Chassis #183, unfortunately, consigned to the back of the workshop after their acrimonious split. David and Erica told us that they have fond memories (and lots of photos) of the “Yellow Peril” under wraps in their garage with the children in and out of it. A14 LOO was their own personal car and would always be so.As a business, David continued with the design and manufacture of the longer wheelbase car, of which it is understood 5 were completed, but he owned and so kept his favourite, A14 LOO, which retains the original standard wheelbase of the 6R4, making this car very straight forward to convert back if desired.The engines used were a 2.5-litre version of the V64V developed from the Cosworth DFV for the 6R4s by Cosworth guru Dave Wood. Well fettled with a 6 butterfly injection system, these power units could produce up to 275hp at 10,250 rpm and 225ft/lb at 8500 rpm. Power is fed via a twin-plate AP clutch via a set of drop-gears to facilitate easy ratio changes. The full dog-engagement gearbox feeds through a centre differential to all front and rear Salisbury-type LSDs. Brakes are aluminium AP 4-pot calipers, 12.1.1 Discs and carbon-metallic pads.After retiring the car on its first 2 rallies, it was a case of third time lucky as David won the 1995 Solent Stages in convincing fashion. He went on to win the Jersey 95 outright, the livery that the car sports today. Even though there was only a small number of DAM4100s made, they did win a number of rallies over the years.There are only a few genuine DAM4100s around and these distinctive cars are a seriously impressive piece of engineering and play a very important part in the history of the Metro 6R4. David’s engineering knowledge, his incredible attention to detail and his standards of preparation and finish would put many factory-built rally cars to shame.A14 LOO comes to the market in stunning condition. In 2015, David collected the car himself and took it to his works where he, and his staff, carried out an overhaul lasting many months. The car benefitted from a complete renovation as and where required, including new fuel tanks, pumps and filters, new seats, new fire system, new pads, and a custom stainless steel exhaust.In 2018, following a niggling oil leak, the engine was taken to his long-term V64V engine partner and guru - Pete Goodman. Pete personally carried out a complete and total rebuild of every part and the finished article was Dyno-tested at David’s works before refitting back into the car. This engine work, including the new exhaust, cost over £18k plus VAT. It has only run for five or six hours since, all at charity events or demonstrations. Offered with a good history file and all bills and receipts ~ unsold in our previous auction at a guide of £150,000 to £170,000 ~ it is now offered as a No Reserve lot and is in immaculate condition.Additionally the car has been inspected by Dansport of Chesterfield during the Christmas/New Year period and they are happy to discuss and give an accurate and current appraisal of the car. As part of this assessment in January 2021 Dansport fitted 6 new spark plugs, 6 new fuel injectors, new starter motor, new brake cylinder and went through the car top to bottom to make sure it is on the button ready to go.  There is a bill for £4,895 on file for this work, which includes a fresh MOT.It is now ready to use in any Group B demonstration event, including 'Slowly Sideways' and similar clubs as well as sprints, hill climbs, rally cross and all non FIA international events such as Rally Mallorca.  As one of only 200 Metro 6R4 competition rally cars ever built it also represents a rare chance to own an iconic Group B car with important and unique history.SpecificationMake: DAVID APPLEBY MOTORSPORTModel: DAM4100 GTIYear: 1987Chassis Number: SAXXRWNP7A0570183Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 9053Click here for more details and images

One of just four ‘Centenary’ Listers built by Brian Lister in 1989 with a clear history from new, and for considerably less than a period car or a newly built example.Reshaped and repainted as a perfect recreation of famous Lister racer, Art Huttinger’s monstrous Lister-ChevyFitted with a period-spec, MSA-approved, 5.3-litre Chevrolet V-8 in ‘98Offered with a current FIA HTP and an extensive history fileRaced extensively around Europe with multiple class podium finishesMaintained by specialists CKL Developments, Mark Lewis Engineering, and Classic Performance EngineeringOffered at a very competitive estimate, a very rare chance to own a fantastically prepared ListerNumerous privateer racing drivers got it in their minds to build their own car in the 1950s, but Brian Lister actually had the money and the engineering know-how. His first racing car, built in the mid-1950s with the able assistance of Don Moore and Archie Scott-Brown, was an incredible success, collecting a 1st or 2nd-place finish wherever it roamed. Its success was such that Lister soon had a deal with Jaguar to supply factory engines, and the Lister-Jaguar became a world-beater.Production proper commenced in 1958 with an Appendix ‘C’ compliant version boasting a 10% reduction in frontal area. A riot of swooping wheel arches and air scoops punctuated by a pronounced bonnet bulge and shallow windscreen, it was affectionately christened the 'Knobbly'. One of Lister's many customers was the American millionaire private entrant Briggs Cunningham, who ordered two with Jaguar XK power and a third designed to accept a Chevrolet V8. The combination of the Lister chassis and lightweight Chevy engine proved immensely successful, Cunningham's cars dominating both the 1958 and 1959 SCCA Championships. For the latter season, the Lister had been redesigned with sleeker bodywork by legendary aerodynamicist Frank Costin, however, by this time the writing was on the wall for front-engined sports-racers and Lister closed at the end of 1959.Thirty years after production ended, three craftsmen who worked on the original Listers joined together to produce a Second Sanction ‘Centenary Edition’, officially built by Brian Lister, now Light Engineering Ltd. Heading the team of craftsmen that built the Centenary Edition Cars were three individuals who worked on the originals in 1958: George Tyrell (in charge of production); Brian Elliott (responsible for hubs, De Dion suspension parts, and other components); and Bob Gawthrop, the craftsman welder who employed the traditional arc welding methods he used on the original cars. Just four cars were built using the original drawings and fitted with Jaguar engines upon completion. As true to the originals as possible, each car was given a proper “BHL” chassis number.‘BHL 148’, on offer here, moved up to the period-spec, MSA-approved 5.3-litre Chevrolet V-8 in 1998. In order to gain FIA HTP papers for the 2016 season, the previous owner commissioned CKL Developments to reshape and repaint the body as a perfect recreation of famous Lister racer, Art Huttinger’s monstrous Lister-Chevy, with its striking blue-and-white livery.Since 1989, ‘BHL 148’ has raced extensively across Europe, achieving multiple class podiums, and has raced at circuits like Goodwood, Spa Francorchamps, and Le Mans during which time it has been maintained by specialist CKL Developments, Mark Lewis Engineering, and Classic Performance Engineering. In 2018, ‘BHL148’ was campaigned by Andrew Smith and James Cottingham, who qualified 3rd out of 39 cars at the 2018 Silverstone Classic and ran as high as 2nd before finishing 5th, demonstrating its front-running potential.The current owner, a well-known and respected historic racer, bought ‘BHL148’ in 2019 with plans to continue to campaign the car across Europe. Unfortunately, he sustained a serious shoulder injury and has therefore never had the chance to enjoy ‘BHL148’, so it now comes reluctantly to the market.Offered at a very competitive estimate along with an extensive history file, including several letters from Brian Lister and an original press booklet from 1990, this is a very rare chance to own a fantastically prepared Lister with a clear history from new, and for considerably less than a period car or a newly built example. SpecificationMake: LISTERModel: SANCTION II ‘CENTENARY’Year: 1989Chassis Number: BHL 148Click here for more details and images

This excess was rife amongst the Big Three manufacturers (Ford, General Motors and Chrysler) but there was another carmaker that offered a slightly different approach whilst keeping their products broadly within the style of the times.The Studebaker Corporation was a small (by comparison) company based in South Bend, Indiana, producing a very distinctive range of models that originated from the drawing board of Raymond Loewy Associates. Loewy made his mark as an industrial designer between the wars, with everything from Gestetner duplicating machines to giant streamlined locomotives and the 1932 Hupmobile roadster. He was later to gain international respect for originating such diverse and iconic images as the Coke bottle, the Greyhound bus, the Lucky Strike cigarette packet and both Shell and BP oil company logos. These are all examples of absolute timeless design that have been taken initially to the heart of the American people, and now all around the world. Loewy's relationship with Studebaker began in the 1930s, but it was in the post-war years that his genius for the iconic was properly applied to motor cars through an evolving line of distinctly-original models, particularly sleek sporting coupés.The glamorous Studebaker Silver Hawk Coupé of the late 1950s was a typical Loewy creation, on-trend but offering a certain exclusivity of style distancing itself from the ‘shiny tin’ on offer elsewhere.Classic Saloon Car racing in the UK has grown exponentially over the last thirty years and Blue Riband events like Goodwood’s Revival and Members Meeting and the HRDC Chamionship for pre-1960 saloons attract massive crowds. The St Mary’s Trophy at Goodwood is probably the most prestigious event for these cars and, although the regulations are strictly enforced, it does provide a home for some unusual vehicles that actually raced once or twice in period. A smart entrant could spend some time combing through old race programmes, do some research into power/weight ratios and arrive at a serious contender for overall honours which is exactly how this fabulous 1959 Silver Hawk racer came to be sitting on the front row of the grid at Goodwood in 2019.The car was built by Patrick Watts Racing to their normal high standards and fitted with a mildly tuned, 350ci Chevy engine from Daytona Design in Florida, a Borg-Warner T10 gearbox and a Dana 44 rear axle, a fairly bullet-proof combination that shouldn’t need touching for many races.The suspension is, unbelievably, adjustable for camber and caster as standard but, with the addition of Leda Dampers, period Mustang unvented discs and the correct springing, the Hawks competitiveness isn’t all about straight-line speed as it handles incredibly well.The separate chassis is tied into the body with a welded-in roll-cage designed and fitted by Custom Cages in Daventry and the gleaming Cameo Beige paintwork is the handiwork of Full Circle in Marden.Moulds were made from the heavy chrome bumpers and grilles and are reproduced in chrome wrapped fibreglass to save weight and add practicality to the racing if repairs are ever required.It’s fitted with a Lifeline Zero 360 plumbed-in fire extinguisher system with electronic activation, the Corbeau Pro seat is on slide adjustments for quick change pit stops and an ATL foam-filled, 100-litre fuel cell resides in the large bootThere is a considerable amount of further information and detail available about the transformation of this old road car into a winning racer, far too much to list here, but a full specification and build sheet will be made available to interested parties.Race history:2018; At a very wet Donington Park HRDC race, Patrick beat Steve Soper to pole and finished second in the race after some niggling problems which were subsequently cured.2019; Pole and winner when shared by Karl Wendlinger and Patrick Watts at the Goodwood Revival in 2019 only to be excluded, with many other cars, for having roller rockers. These gave no performance advantage but Goodwood are sticklers for period accuracy so they were immediately replaced with standard rockers. So equipped, Patrick put the car on pole at Castle Combe a few weeks later and lead the class, mixing with the Mustangs, before a split sump necessitated a retirement.There is a decent spares package with the car which includes 10 new wheels, spare suspension wishbones, uprights, spare axle and LSD, chassis, standard engine block, crank, heads, glass, two stainless exhaust systems, 98db and open for very loud!, and more.The car is road registered, BOC 772A, and it would be technically possible (MOT, lights, exhaust and tires) to use it on the road. What a fabulous opportunity, win one of the World’s most prestigious classic saloon car races, pop the number plates on and burble off through the Sussex lanes on the way home, just as we used to do in the early sixties.On a serious note, this is a superbly prepared and presented classic racer, ultra- competitive, simply maintained, admired everywhere and sensibly guided.

We have confirmation that this vehicle would also be eligible for the Motor Racing Legends Royal Automobile Club Pall Mall Cup.The big V8 class cars mixing with the Lotus Cortinas and Minis makes for close racing as they all run at the front (depending on the weather!) as demonstrated so ably at the Goodwood Revival St. Mary’s Trophy over the last 20 years.This particular FIA-spec, Ford Falcon is on offer directly from actor and comedian, Rowan Atkinson CBE, and Silverstone Auctions are proud to offer it for sale on his behalf. He has owned it since 2006 and the car has made sporadic appearances at various events during the last 15 years including Snetterton, Chimay in Belgium, the Silverstone Classic and of course the Goodwood Revival Meeting. Always professionally prepared and run for him by the very best teams, the car comes to the auction complete with a comprehensive history file detailing all the work, upgrades and maintenance that the Falcon has received during that time.In recent years, between 2014 and the current day, it has been run by John Freeman Racing of Funtington near Chichester, with the last significant monies being spent with them in 2018 (£7,172) on a new radiator, aluminium bumpers and various other works to brakes and engine cooling. There are full details in the organised file of regular work and upgrades throughout Rowan’s tenure but clearly the car was not used in 2019 or in 2020 during the COVID period. The FIA papers are for 'Class CT10 (period F 1962 -1965)' but have now been applied for but the vehicle has not been inspected during the COVID period, although there is no known reason why the car should not immediately re-qualify. The engine was built by renowned specialist, Steve Warrior, to his ultimate specification at the time with very limited running since.Finished in the classic period colour of Turquoise this distinctive car also benefits from being road registered, which means the possibility of Tours and Historic rally events also exists. The car has several MOTs on file but will need a fresh MOT, as well as fresh FIA papers, which have been applied for and the car is simply waiting an inspection. All seats/belts/ fire extinguishers and safety equipment are brand new and therefore 'in date' for the forthcoming season. Spares include a set of wheels/tyres, a limited-slip differential and body moulds which will need to be collected by the successful purchaser.However, it is a super thing and clearly has lived a pampered life with a limited number of events undertaken given the workload and limited time availability of the current owner. The price guide today is realistic, allowing a new owner some room to update the car and once again make it a competitive proposition on the track. Well engineered, dramatically presented and with celebrity provenance, this is a splendidly timed opportunity with the start of the season just around the corner.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: FALCON FIA RACE CARYear: 1964Chassis Number: 4K13F117846Make: Click here for more details and images

The Shelby G.T 350H was born (H for Hertz), and the legend grew almost as soon as the cars began hitting the track and drag strip. Built with the K-code 289 V-8, tuned in Shelby’s Venice, California shop to 306 horsepower, these cars were nearly identical to the standard G.T. 350 and the majority were finished in Hertz’s corporate colours of Raven Black and Sunlit Gold, as is this superb example.This 1965, left-hand drive, 289 Sport Coupé road car was imported from Canada in 1999. Within the large history file are a number of invoices from C J Pony Parts of Pensylvania for components used during the car’s complete restoration and preparation as an FIA Competition Car during 2015.The majority of the build was carried out by Heritage AutoWerks of Berkshire and their spec-sheet indicates that the Mustang was fully stripped and media-blasted back to a bare shell, new metal let-in where required, and the body and chassis were lightened, strengthened and fitted with a multi-point cage with door bars before being prepared for paint. The door furniture was removed and the side window glass replaced with plastic. The car was then painted to a very high, road car, standard and looks fabulous in Hertz’s attractive black and gold with lots of fresh brightwork. The suspension was fully rebuilt using brand new parts with Koni race shocks and front and rear springs by Cobra Automotive. Brise Fabrications created a bespoke fuel cell, radiator and catch tank. Naturally, the brakes were full rebuilt with new components, converted to dual-circuit and fitted with larger, FIA compliant front discs. The car sits on a splendid set of 15” American Racing Torq-Thrust wheels with the centres finished in matching Sunlit Gold, wearing a set of sticky Dunlops.The engine is a 1965 289 with a heat-treated HiPo crank, Eagle con rods, big-valve heads with NASCAR retainers, ARP bolts, hardened FIA-spec tappets, Crane pushrods and Cobra pistons and cams. We understand that pre-initial build all rotating parts were balanced at Mercedes F1. The manifolds have been chambered, the intake is a replica of a ‘65 Shelby and the exhaust feeds into Tech-craft ‘Mega-Flow’ mufflers. The sump is baffled and the car is fitted with a large capacity oil pump. Fuel is supplied by a Holly fuel pump through high-flow inline filters to a Holly 650 ‘double-pumper’ topped with a K&N filter. All the engine wiring has been replaced with race-spec wire and terminals and a new alternator, Mallory coil and distributor have been fitted.All safety equipment is FIA-compliant but, as with any competition car, interested buyers will need to satisfy themselves as to its currency and compliance with Series regulations.Since its 2015 build, a further £5,000 was spent in October 2018 upgrading the steering and suspension and the engine was fully rebuilt by Colin Mullan Engineering in August 2019 at a cost of £8,000 with only three hours running time since.Ever since Roy Pierpoint won the British Saloon Car Championship in 1965, the 289 ‘Notchback’ Coupe has been a presence in British motor racing and, in its evocative Hertz livery, this superbly prepared example would be welcome at prestigious events anywhere. It’s eligible for a number of historic championship events such as the FIA Pre-66 GT Championship, the Masters Series, Goodwood or the fantastic Spa 6-Hours and the fact that it's road registered with a V5 and current MOT opens up the possibility of using this dramatic car for tours and road rallies and, at this attractive guide price, could be a perfect route into multi-level historic motorsport.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: FIA MUSTANG 4.7 RACE CARYear: 1965Chassis Number: 5R07T179189Transmission: ManualDrive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Competitive in the right hands and instant access to international historic racing.FIA HTP Papers Exp December 2025 – (GTP1 1966-71)Ginetta Sports Prototype G12 No 3/30Lotus/Ford 1600 Twin Cam – Mk 9 Hewland transaxleRaced in 2015 HSCC Guards Trophy (2nd in class)Described as ready to race with a spanner check and probably new tyres£12,000+ spent since purchase to freshen up ready for useGinetta’s G12 was a natural progression from the all-conquering G4 and featured an innovative new design with a mid-mounted engine configuration. The state-of-the-art G12 design featured a tubular steel spaceframe with a centre-body cockpit section bonded to it for extra strength, and removable front and rear body sections. The suspension comprised proven Triumph-derived uprights and double wishbones with coil springs at the front and the classic arrangement of single upper transverse links with lower revised wishbones and coil springs at the rear. Stopping power was provided by Triumph Spitfire-sourced Girling disc brakes mounted outboard on all four wheels. The neat, innovative and practical design of the G12 made the car instantly successful and its designer, Ivor Walklett, commented "It was magic right from the start, we did a bit of testing and it was obvious that we had something very special"’. Drivers Chris Meek and Willie Green stormed through 1966 and ’67 demolishing the established opposition of Divas and Lotus 26Rs.G12/3 is one of just 30 produced and, according to documents within the file, enjoyed a short period of racing before being crashed in the early part of 1967, by Peter Creasey, however, he kept the damaged car for posterity and continued racing in G12/21, going on to win his class in the 1967 Motoring News GT Championship. G12/3 changed hands as a ‘project’ a few times until, around 2012, the old 60’s racer was totally rebuilt by the highly talented race preparer Ian Macdonald. Once the rolling chassis was completed, a brand new Gathercole Lotus/Ford 1600cc Twin-Cam engine was fitted and mated to a fully rebuilt Mk9 Hewland transaxle. The now gloriously rebuilt G12/3 was proudly debuted in the 2013 HSCC Guards trophy raced by Ian Macdonald and a previous owner. In 2014, Ian raced with Mark Godfrey in the Guards Trophy, on this occasion finishing second in class and the car was used by Mark this time solo in the HSCC Guards Trophy sometime later. The engine was refreshed and the gearbox rebuilt in 2015 with approx. 11.5 hours track use since. G12/3 has FIA HTP papers issued in 2015 for FIA period GR (1966-1971) in FIA Class GTP1, which allows this car to be considered for any qualifying international event worldwide valid up until December 2025.The G4’s ‘big brother’, the G12, as well as being rare and desirable, is a practical and smart Sports Prototype that holds the door wide open to international historic racing and in the right hands could be rather competitive. Our vendor purchased the car in 2016, spent a further £12,000+ to bring the little racer up to its best then, as is often the case, didn’t get around to racing it much (3 hours) making this a great opportunity to pick up where our vendor left off, and with a ‘spanner check’ and some fresh fluids, it should be ready to race.

Powerflow LSD. Weighs approx. 695kg. Adjustable rear wingTIG-welded space-frame chassis. 3-section composite bodywork. High downforce-low drag aeroMaintained in-house by Harwoods Jaguar under their ownership as well as by PalmerSportUsed for corporate entertainment at Goodwood. Driven by professionals Duncan Tappy and Joe SaccoBought by our vendor from Silverstone Auctions in 2018 and subsequently serviced by PalmerSportBespoke ECO trailer with winch and Powertouch Evolution all-wheel-drive remote control for ease of manoeuvring.With 83 Formula 1 starts to his name, plus a second at Le Mans in 1985, when Jonathan Palmer was considering a purpose-designed track car for the driving experience events that his company, PalmerSport, held at Bedford Autodrome, he knew what he wanted, and that was something as close as possible to the cars he’d driven at La Sarthe, yet suitable for novices on the tight Bedfordshire circuit.Palmer found what he was looking for with the Zeus Challenger. Produced in Oxfordshire by Zeus Motorsport Engineering and designed by former racing driver and company boss Peter Sneller, it was powered by a four-cylinder 2.0-litre Toyota engine and was, by all accounts, very fast, its aerodynamics offering competition levels of grip. There was only one, albeit considerable, problem: it was a single-seater and Palmer needed room for the driver and an instructor. For Palmer, the answer was simple – to buy Zeus Motorsport Engineering, and have Sneller widen the steel tube space-frame chassis to make room for a second seat, with help from PalmerSport’s technical team.The choice of Jaguar’s torquey and free-revving 3.0-litre V6 to power the car was almost inevitable given JP’s long involvement with Jaguar, Le Mans and the Jaguar F1 team and, in fact, it was Jaguar’s public affairs team who produced the press release where Stuart Dyble, the company’s then director of communications, is quoted as saying “The Palmer Jaguar JP1 captures perfectly the performance spirit of Jaguar”.While eight cars were put to work at Bedford Autodrome (all of which PalmerSport has retained and still uses for track-day events) a handful were built for private customers and, in 2015, Harwoods Jaguar, one of the largest main dealers in the South East of England, purchased this example for corporate hospitality guests to share the 'Circuit Experience' at Goodwood and elsewhere. Guests were treated to exhilarating laps of the famous circuit by either Duncan Tappy or Joe Sacco and general maintenance was either carried out in-house or by PalmerSport at Bedford Aerodrome.It's powered by a track-spec Jaguar Racing Cosworth 3.0-litre, V6 quad-cam producing 277bhp fed through a 6-speed sequential Hewland FTR gearbox and Powerflow LSD. The chassis is a TIG-welded space frame clothed in three-section composite bodywork with high downforce-low drag aerodynamics and an adjustable rear wing. It weighs approx. 695kg and, depending on set up, offers 178mph and 0-100 in 7.6 seconds on Super Unleaded fuel metered by Pectal engine management.Purchased from a gentleman who had used the car sparingly, Harwoods themselves found it surplus to their requirements and it was subsequently bought by our vendor from Silverstone Auctions in February 2018. His plan was to use it for track days with his son, however, a 200 mile job relocation meant that the car was only enjoyed on one occasion and the decision has been taken to sell it to help fund his first house.Under our vendor's custodianship, the car has been serviced by PalmerSport at a cost of £1,627. It will be offered for sale complete with its bespoke race car trailer which has been serviced and fitted with a Powertouch Evolution, all-wheel-drive, remote control system, all at a cost of £2,300.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: JP1 TS1Year: 2004Chassis Number: JPMAM1759X001008Transmission: SequentialDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images
