The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveFirst appearing at Earls Court in 1953, the AC Ace epitomised a new era of British post-war sports car productionThe Bristol-engined Ace enjoyed many years of motorsport success at international levelLeft-hand drive from new, #BEX452 left the factory in April 1958 bound for FranceBeing a later car, it benefits from a curved windscreen, front disc brakes, and overdrive transmissionIt was subsequently enjoyed by a number of French owners whose details are in the history fileIn 1997, the original engine was replaced with 110/568 (rebuilt by the factory in 1989 at the substantial cost of £11,048)Fully restored in 1998 with an illustrated 'Rapport d'Expertise' (on file)Imported into the UK in 2012 and treated to a comprehensive professional rebuildGearbox and overdrive rebuilt in 2018 and the car has recently been carefully detailed#BEX452 is an absolutely delightful example of these desirable British classicsThe AC Ace first appeared at Earls Court in 1953 and epitomised a new era of British post-war sports car production. The owners of AC, Charles and Derek Hurlock, along with AC agent, Ken Rudd, transformed the company's reputation by taking a racing special and putting it into production, with notable stylistic influences from Italian sports cars of the era. The result was a car that delivered both on the road, and particularly on the track thanks to the input of racing chassis designer John Tojeiro. Tojeiro employed the same simple tubular ladder-type chassis with an aluminium body that he had used in his earlier specials, however, the Ace differed by being fitted with all-round independent suspension by transverse springs (the first British sports car to do so), ensuring superb handling with minimal body roll and plenty of feedback. Such was the success of the Ace chassis, it became the foundation for the mighty Shelby Cobras with over three times the power of the original 105bhp, Weller designed, six-cylinder engine. The outdated AC unit eventually made way for the more refined Bristol straight-six, which had evolved from the pre-war BMW 328. The Bristol engine was far more suited to racing, as demonstrated with some success by Cooper, and in its standard form developed 128bhp at 6000rpm. Consequently, it is the Bristol-engined Ace that is most sought after by collectors.The Ace Bristol enjoyed significant competition success being campaigned by enthusiastic club racers, private owners and most famously by the Ken Rudd team at Le Mans in 1957 and 1958. Bristol-engined Aces were run successfully at Le Mans from 1957 to 1962 by various entrants, however, it was on a domestic club level where Ace Bristols earned their reputation as superb racing machines. In total, only 466 Ace Bristols were manufactured and they are justifiably hot property amongst collectors as very few examples become available on the open market. The AC Ace was a truly innovative piece of design and represents the foundation from which the legendary Cobra was developed.This, left-hand drive, AC Ace Bristol (#BEX452) left the factory in April 1958 and being a later car benefitted from a curved windscreen, front disc brakes and an overdrive. It was delivered new to France via Ets Chardonnet and some years later, in the late 1980s/early1990s, the car belonged to one Alain Nibart and was registered '109 OM 45'. In 1997, Msr Alain Navarro purchased the Ace and installed a replacement Bristol engine ('110/5068') that had been rebuilt by Bristol Cars in 1989 for the substantial sum of £11,048 and a detailed account is in the car's history file. It should be noted that the FIA papers still record the original engine's number, '100D2506'.Re-registered as '231 BQY 92', the AC was restored in 1998, and at around this time an illustrated 'Rapport d'Expertise' (condition report) was prepared and a copy is on file. In 2008, the Bristol engine was rebuilt again, on this occasion by SARL Supersport in Paley, France, and other works carried out at a cost of €76,499 (detailed bills on file). On 29th January 2001, Mr Navarro sold the car to Alexis Robert, only to repurchase it towards the end of 2002 at which point the registration was changed to '830 DOD 92'. In February 2005, the AC became the property of Jean-Pierre Grave of Toulouse and Geneva who, in turn, passed it on, during April 2006, to one Pierre Pinelli of Nice. The accompanying FIA papers date from 2007 when the car was registered '771 BLK 31'.In 2012, the Ace was imported into the UK and treated to a comprehensive professional rebuild, completed in 2013, which included a repaint in a delightful shade of Gunmetal Grey metallic, an interior re-trim in black leather, and a new hood, tonneau cover, etc (bills on file). Since 2013, the car has been extensively detailed and the gearbox and overdrive were rebuilt in 2018 with the relevant invoices in the file.One of the most sought-after Bristol-engined versions of this British classic, #BEX452 is presented in generally excellent condition and, as a European-delivered car with the later curved windscreen, front disc brakes and overdrive transmission, is particularly desirable.The Ace Bristol is a car that rightfully deserves its place in the history books as 'grandfather' to the legendary AC Cobra, and this lovely classic offers the opportunity to enjoy that history whenever you fancy.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveOne of only 235 UK-supplied, right-hand drive 246 GT SpidersDelivered new by Dick Lovett Specialist Cars to its first owner in Northampton in June 1973Finished in Azzuro Dino Metallico with Beige VM 3218 hide, Beige carpets and electric windowsThis matching numbers example has only covered a documented 18,275 miles from newRecent refresh to return the car to its original colour of Blue Met DinoDocumentation with the car includes copies of the original order and invoice from Ferrari to Dick Lovett, DVLA ownership from new, MOTs and service invoices dating back to 1974. Factory manuals and bespoke JackRarely do such well-documented cars of this quality come to market and we are proud to offer this beautiful example which is now ready to begin the next chapter of its lifeThe new Dino 246GT was an absolute delight from all angles, its beauty, handling, engine note, mid-engined layout, unusually good all-round visibility and comparative affordability made it absolutely irresistible. The voluptuous bodywork, which many people regard as the prettiest ever to grace a road-going Ferrari, was designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti and covered a tubular chassis which carried wishbone independent suspension at each corner. The 190bhp engine, with four overhead camshafts, was mounted transversely behind the driver and in front of the rear axle. Power to the wheels was transmitted via drop gears to the transverse 5-speed gearbox, in unit with the differential and engine sump. With rack and pinion steering and a mid-engined configuration, it was a revelation in terms of road holding and stability, nothing had been made like this before and it left its larger V12-engined siblings in its wake.This was a very modern car and a real step in Ferrari history announcing a new age for Ferrari in concept and design. Sparkling acceleration and a top speed of 145mph combined with a comfortable interior and some usable boot space meant that it was a genuine 'Grand Touring' car. Proving a great sales success, production of the Dino 246 finished in 1974 with 2,487 GTs and 1,274 GTS models.This fabulous Dino GTS was supplied new in right-hand drive by Dick Lovett Specialist Cars to a William John Blundell of Northampton on the 3rd June 1973 finished in Azzuro Dino Metallico with Beige VM 3218 hide, Beige carpets and electric windows, exactly as the car is presented today. It was first registered EAM 97L and a photocopy of the 'Green' Logbook is with the car. Within this car's super History File are copies of the original telephone order from Dick Lovett to the Factory and the Bills of Sale from Ferrari to Maranello Concessionaires (£4,902.00) and from Dick Lovett to the first owner (£5,537.36).The car was returned to Maranello Concessionaires in late 1979 for work to be carried out and there is a 4-page invoice in the file dated 29th February 1980 detailing those costs (£4,438.09). At the time, the second-hand value of a Dino was around £6,000 to put this expenditure into perspective. The speedometer head was also replaced with the original reading 15,445 miles. The MOT dated March 10th 1980 shows an odometer reading of 40 miles covered in the first few days of having the Dino back. At this point, the car had been painted Rosso and appears to have been looked after by Maranello for the next few years.The Ferrari was used lightly after its 1980 rebuild and by 20/01/1995 it had only covered 1,596 miles. The car's fourth owner, Mr Luay Allawi, instructed renowned Ferrari specialists, DK Engineering, to carry out a complete refresh in February 2001. Naturally, there are detailed invoices on file indicating that over 450 man-hours were spent on this recommission and the total expenditure was just short of £16,000. The car returned to DK in November of the same year, at 2,364 miles, for minor works and extensive detailing which included removing the engine to clean and paint the engine bay, specialist finishing of the carburettors and other ancillaries, strip and rebuild the driveshafts and supply and fit a 'Tubi-style' stainless silencer. The account, in this case, totalled £8,410.16 DK continued to look after and service the car until 2018 and there are invoices on file.This matching numbers example has recently been returned to its original Azzuro Dino Metallico and has still only covered 18,340 miles from new as fully documented in the extensive history file. As well as the aforementioned orders, bill of sale etc, the file also includes DVLA ownership from new, older MOTs from May 1977 through to 07/06/2018 at 2,465 miles, V5s, SORN details, dozens of invoices, correspondence, photos of the recommission and a condition report from GTO Engineering dated 02/08/ 2019. It still retains its original leather wallet with the original Service/Handbook and Parts Catalogue and the bespoke Dino jack.A superb, UK-supplied, rare original right-hand drive Dino GTS in a truly beautiful colour combination with genuine documented low mileage and literally just serviced by marque expert Bob Houghton.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveOne of approximately 243 Series 1 cars built and consequently now very rarePurchased and built by period Lotus stores man Jay 'JJ' Hall on 20/11/1959Immediately entered a long competition career, with period film capturing some eventsRelocated to Scandinavia in the mid 1960's and bought by Per Roxlin in 1985 Roxlin undertook a full restoration and upgraded it to 'Series A' spec with the desirable BMC 'A' Series 1098cc engine and 4-speed gearbox. The bodywork was restored by Williams & Pritchard, original Lotus coachbuildersRepatriated in 1995 by Rod Leach and remained in a private collection for around 20 yearsFabulous period competition history (separate panel) and eligible and welcome in historic motorsport todayStill immense fun on the road, and nicely restored with great history, this is a charming example of the embryonic Lotus SevenTypifying the maxim that a whole can be greater than the sum of its parts, the Lotus Seven was introduced at the 1957 Earls Court Motor Show. Based around a multi-tubular spaceframe chassis, the aluminium-panelled newcomer was powered by a choice of Ford 100E, Coventry Climax FWA or BMC A-series engines. Popular with sporting motorists and club racers alike, the Lotus Seven evolved through Series 2, 3 and 4 guises before the design rights were sold to Caterham in 1973.Sevens dominated club racing in the late 1950's and early 1960's, and with Team Lotus starting to give the established 'Scuderia' cause for concern internationally, the fever to go racing was rife for Lotus' in-house store's man, Jay 'J J' Hall. Astonishingly, our research into this car led us in early 2020 to catch up with Jay, who is now in his 80s, and discover the story of this Lotus direct from the source.Jay started working for Lotus in 1958 and, like all new recruits, was told upon his induction not to have any wild fantasies about 'staff discounts'. So when the itch to race needed scratching, Jay and some like-minded and highly talented colleagues sought to build their own cars instead. Led by renowned car designer Len Terry, the group's resulting sports car specials were known as the Terriers and they proved very effective. Too effective, in fact. Several wins and podiums not only upset Lotus owners, who disliked being beaten by something built by the factory workers, but Colin Chapman himself was furious. Len Terry was fired over the fiasco and, on the advice of Mike Costin, Jay sold his Terrier back to Len so that he could "build a demon Seven instead."Jay ordered this Seven as a complete set of un-assembled parts from Lotus Components, which was an option many Seven owners took as it saved the new car purchase tax that was applied to a car completed by the manufacturer, and was released from Lotus's new Cheshunt factory on 20th November 1959 - Jay's birthday. Lotus had moved its operations from Hornsey earlier in the year and Jay had found accommodation at the nearby White Horse Inn, negotiating the use of its garage in the process, and it was here that Lotus Seven chassis No.787 was delivered after Jay had pulled a favour from Lotus's van driver.Jay also persuaded Hertfordshire's registration office to allocate him the very appropriate registration number '787 JJH' - the car's chassis number, followed by his initials!All that was left to do was build it. The build was gradual, using spare weekends and evenings, and completed with the help of Lotus colleagues who all helped each other build their various projects. Jay would later ease the financial burden by selling a share in the car to colleagues Peter Hutcheon in 1960 and Mark Roberts in 1961.A 'Series F' car this Seven was fitted with the ubiquitous and reliable Ford 100E engine and 3-speed gearbox, and its 40bhp was more than enough to make this sub-500kg Lotus a real giant-killer. Once built, all that the Lotus needed was a livery and Jay commissioned sign-writer Roy Elmore to replicate the scheme adorning his traditional pudding bowl crash helmet: pale blue with a central white stripe.Jay and his 'shareholder' Peter Hutcheon spent their first three race meetings finding their feet at Silverstone over May & June 1960 and, in this evocatively innocent era, taught themselves to drive quickly using a book called 'How to Drive a Racing Car." This culminated in a 5th place for Jay in the 10-lap scratch race on 18th June. Jay and Peter continued entering as many events as possible throughout the summer and into September and even entered the hotly contested 1172cc Chapman Trophy series. Their exploits were captured in a number of stunning images, a film recording and a few column inches in Autosport. By the end of 1960, 787 JJH's scorecard read: one win at Silverstone, a third at Snetterton and 12 further top-ten finishes.Having campaigned no fewer than 26 races, 787 JJH required some attention in preparation for 1961. Mark Roberts, Jay's best friend at Lotus, took over Peter Hutcheon's share and as an extraordinary engineer helped Jay improve the Seven by canting over and boring its engine. Mark Roberts went on to found his eponymous film and TV camera company, which was awarded an Oscar for its innovation before being acquired by Nikon.The time spent working on the Seven left little time to race it in 1961, but Jay and Mark crammed in no fewer than 10 race meetings between August and October. The highlight was Jay taking his first win at Mallory Park. Jay sold the Seven after 1961, a consequence he says of getting married, but a chance encounter saw him reunited with it a few years later in Brighton, where he'd gone to see the finishers arrive from the Veteran Car Run and recognised 'his' Lotus parked on the seafront. From that point in the mid-1960s, the Seven relocated to Scandinavia and was the property of Mr Per Roxlin by 1985. Recognising it as a rare and very special Series One, Roxlin undertook a full restoration of the Lotus and upgraded it to 'Series A' specification with the celebrated BMC 'A' series 1098cc engine and 4-speed gearbox. The bodywork was carried out by Williams & Pritchard no less, who were the original coachbuilders for Lotus.Repatriated in 1995 by the classic car dealer and AC Cobra specialist Rod Leach, the Seven was in a private collection for around 20 years before being acquired by our vendor.Eligible for and positively welcomed in historic motorsport today, the Series One is the purest, prettiest and most coveted of the breed. Still immense fun on the road, and nicely restored with great history, this is a charming example of the embryonic Lotus Seven.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveOne of only 281 ever built and just 2,494 miles (4,014 km) from new!Completed on 20/11/1992 and despatched to Germany on 18/12/1992Finished in rare Le Mans Blue Metallic with Smoke Grey leatherModified in 2001 to comply with California emissions regulationsWelcome in the US. EPA and CARB emission control certifiedServiced/new clutch ($10,400) at North Coast Exotics of Cleveland, Feb 2009Returned to the UK in 2013 to join the world's foremost supercar collectionInspected and fully sorted by Marque Guru, Don Law, at 1,805 miles (2,905km)New MOT valid until July 2021It was at the 1988 British Motor Show in Birmingham, appropriately, that the sensational Jaguar XJ220 concept prototype was first revealed to the public and, as expected, orders and the required £50,000 deposits flooded in from all corners of the world. The original concept was for a V12 engined car with a six-speed gearbox and four-wheel drive priced at just under £300,000. However, some four years later when production commenced, the XJ220 had become a two-wheel drive, twin-turbo V6 with a five-speed box on offer at £470,000. Predictably many of the 1,200 option holders tried to cancel their purchase blaming the massive change in the specification but the collapse in values of collectable supercars at the time was probably more of a factor. Eventually, the car found 275 buyers and the others don't know what they missed. Producing an impressive 549bhp at 7,000rpm and 473lb.ft at 4,500rpm and now slightly shorter by some ten inches courtesy of the smaller dimensions of the V6 engine against the bulky V12, but still, with a not inconsiderable girth of six feet and six inches, the XJ220 proved more than capable of reaching its target maximum speed. In 1992 at the Italian Nardo test track Formula One and sportscar ace, Martin Brundle, recorded 212.3mph around the banking in standard trim and 217.1mph with the catalytic converters disconnected, the latter speed equivalent to 223mph on a straight road.With 0-60mph acceleration in a brutal 3.5 seconds, the XJ220 was indisputably the fastest road car on the planet at that time and, thanks to motorsport-developed, inboard wishbone suspension and huge ventilated disc brakes with four-piston calipers, it held the road beautifully and stopped equally as well. Production of the car began the following year in a purpose-built factory at Bloxham in Oxfordshire with the first cars delivered in July. On the circuits, the Jaguar also proved highly effective. In the full-race version, the XJ220C, another sports car ace, Win Percy, took victory on the car's race debut in the BRDC National Sports GT Challenge and in the 1993 Le Mans 24 Hours, John Nielsen, David Brabham and David Coulthard finished first in the GT class.This particular car is finished in a beautiful dark Le Mans Blue metallic with Smoke Grey leather hides and, like all XJ220s, is equipped with factory air conditioning. It was completed on 20th November 1992 and departed Bloxham on 18th December destined for its first owner in Germany, arriving just in time for Christmas. Remarkably, the odometer registers just 2,494 miles (4,014 km) from new!Modifications to enable the Jaguar to conform to Californian emissions regulations were completed on 27th June 2001 and it is now compliant with U.S. EPA and CARB emission control regulations applicable to 1992 passenger cars. Following this certification, the XJ spent 12 years in the USA.In February 2009, the car was entrusted to North Coast Exotics, of Cleveland, Ohio for maintenance and repairs, and the account for this was in excess of $10,400. The invoice for this work is in the Owner's File and details the installation of a new clutch and slave cylinder and the replacement of timing belts, tensioners, spark plugs, and air, oil, and fuel filters, as well as all fluids. A few years later, in 2013, the car was repatriated to the UK to join, what must be the most complete collection of supercars anywhere, sharing a garage with a complete set of Ferrari 'F' cars, a McLaren F1 GTR and Mercedes CLK GTR AMG and everything in between from the Miura to a 'World Speed Record' Veyron.The Jaguar is accompanied by its, very smartly presented, XJ220 manuals in the original Smoke Grey leather owner's wallet, its V5C, older MOT/SORN ref, US-Title and ownership docs, the invoice from North Coast Exotics, HMRC import paperwork and a copy of the January 2013 RM Auctions Catalogue at which the car was soldCertified for use in the USA, fully sorted as required by renowned experts Don Law Racing at 1,805 miles (2,905 km) when returned to the UK and with still only 2,494 miles (4,014 km) from new, maintained within the vendor's collection in more recent times and with a new MOT just prior to the sale, this particular car remains a stunning example of Jaguar's iconic 'Supercar', and in arguably the best colour combination!You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveOriginal European left-hand drive example sold by Auto Freidrich, Frankfurt in 1959Finished in Bianco Nube with a blue vinyl/light grey cloth interiorIncredible time warp survivor with just 36,686 miles (59,041km) from newExported to the USA in the 1960's. One owner from 1966 to 2012Returned to Germany in 2017, joining a world-class collectionOriginal owners manual (in German), various US titles, spare keysFollowing the ravages of war Alfa Romeo regrouped, equipping their rebuilt factories with up to the minute machinery to enable them once again to become a major manufacturer on the world stage. An all-new business plan was devised to move the company into mass production and the 1,290cc Giulietta emerged to fulfill those ambitions. In best Alfa Romeo tradition a twin overhead camshaft engine was to power the new model, the smallest engine size ever offered by the company but yet, in standard form, developing 80bhp. Although offered as a four-door saloon it was the sporting Bertone-styled Giulietta Sprint which captured the Italian sporting motorists' heart with its neat and functional styling looking good from absolutely every angle. The gently developed Veloce engine was offered as an option giving 90bhp and providing a top speed in excess of 100mph. Handling was enhanced by independent front suspension with coil springs and wishbones with coil spring, radius arms, and A-bracket at the rear. A 1,600cc engine was briefly offered prior to the cessation of the model in 1965 following an eleven-year production run.This delightful Giulietta Sprint 750B dates from 1959 and was built in left-hand drive for the German market. Later that year, it was sold by Auto Freidrich in Frankfurt to its first owner. The early ownership details are unknown but on 1st July 1966, it was acquired by Douglas Foon Gee of Bellevue, Washington State, who evidently loved the little Alfa as he was to own it until August 22nd, 2012, a total of 46 years. Subsequently, the car was owned by Paul Hageman of Santa Monica, Dirk Layer of Solvang, California and Nuwest Holdings of Missoula in Montana MT before returning to Germany in 2017 where it joined a private collection.The condition genuinely needs to be seen to fully appreciate just how incredibly well this beautiful Alfa has been cherished and retained such a remarkable quality throughout.It's supplied with its original Alfa Pouch containing the Owner's Manual (in German), a number of US Certificates of Title and the spare keys.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveThe IIA is considered by many to be the hardiest version of the 'Series' Land Rovers This is an unusually well ­preserved and original example having had just four owners from newThe chassis is original and looks to have had some professional attention in recent yearsIt still wears the correct elephant hide vinyl upholstery to its three front and two rear bench seatsFitted with a hardtop and tow bar and electricsGently-patinated from years of family life, this well-proven Series II is ready for immediate use and is offered at No ReserveThe Land Rover range was given its first comprehensive update in 1958, and the Series II was offered in both SWB (88-inch) and LWB (109-inch) forms. It was given a rounded waistline, cleverly styled by Rover's David Bache to mask the wider-track axles, curved side windows, a rounded roof and was now fitted with the well-tried 72bhp 2.25-litre petrol engine, although early SWB models retained the 2-litre petrol engine from the Series I for the first 1,500 or so vehicles. Other numerous changes included vastly superior steering, which was very welcome at the time.In 1961 the Series IIA was introduced with many minor but significant improvements which made it, perhaps, the hardiest and reliable of all the Series Land Rovers. It was also the best-selling Land Rover of all time, over 50,000 being produced each year until it was replaced by the Series III in 1971.Dating from June 1969, this particular Series IIA is an unusually well-preserved and original example having had just four owners from new. It's finished in Mid-Grey and the hardtop could well be original as it's an early type with no side-windows. According to the old-style logbook, its first owner drove the car until 1981, before selling it to another long-term owner who kept the Landie until 2009 before he, in turn, passed it on in 2011. An MOT from 1996 shows that at that point it had covered some 99,426 miles. A string of subsequent MOTs indicates that a further 5,500 miles have been added to that total.The chassis is original and looks to have had some professional attention in recent years, the front and rear bench seats are still covered in the correct 'elephant hide' vinyl upholstery and it's fitted with a heater and a tow bar. This is no Concours restoration but a well maintained, working bit of kit. To use a modern expression, it's "well-patinated" and has seen a few pairs of boots over the years but, with decent maintenance, will probably see-out most of us. A sound, well cared for IIA on offer at 'No Reserve', seems like a bit of an opportunity.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReservePristine, immaculate and generally spectacularly well presentedLeft-hand drive and classically finished in Guards Red Immaculate black interior with Recaro bucket seats, with triple grey leather inserts16,792 miles (27,024 km) from new and one owner (Swiss family) until 2014Serviced on the 11/06/2020 at Paragon Porsche with a fresh MOTHighly original throughout, still sporting the proper factory markings on screw heads and boltsIt still retains its original manuals and even the seldom-seen tyre pressure gauge"Less weight and more power", the formula that resulted in the most dynamic 911 since the legendary RS of 1973The 911 Carrera RS 3.6 was introduced by Porsche in 1992 and was developed specifically for the European market as a 'track-ready' lightweight version of the Carrera 2. Whilst the RS did not look substantially different from other top-end 911s, Porsche engineers utilised the simple and time-honoured motorsports philosophy of "reduce weight, add power" to produce the most dynamic 911 since the original Carrera RS in 1973. Porsche went to great lengths to lighten the 964RS by nearly 175 kilograms. Aluminium was used for the doors and bonnet, and thinner glass was used for the side and rear windows. Inside, Porsche disposed of the 911's usual luxuries, including its rear seats, power windows, electronically adjustable front seats, and front armrests. They also chose to forgo the power steering, resulting in greater steering interaction and feedback for the driver.Thanks to the use of a lightweight, single-mass, flywheel, the Carrera RS enjoyed a healthy boost in power, as well as making the 3.6-litre flat-six considerably more throttle-responsive than the standard unit in the Carrera 2. With its narrow body, and lack of a rear spoiler, the elegant and powerful type 964 is amongst the most sought-after modern non-turbocharged 911 variants.Finished in traditional Guards Red with an immaculate black leather interior with Recaro bucket seats panelled with triple grey leather inserts, this particular Carrera RS was first registered to a German family in Switzerland and remained with them before being acquired by Porsche marque expert, Thomas Schmitz, in late 2014. Shortly afterwards, in March 2015, it joined its third owner who used the 911 predominantly for continental trips, during which time we understand that it always behaved flawlessly. The car was most recently serviced on June 11th this year by UK-based specialists Paragon Porsche and issued with a fresh MOT.Being a standard 'lightweight'-specification car, it features the full suite of weight saving and performance enhancements that combine to make the 964 RS such a supreme all-rounder and in this example, these include a stripped out, track-orientated interior; a revised 260-bhp version of the air-cooled M64 3.6-litre engine; lightweight flywheel; a limited-slip differential; a track-optimised suspension with a 40-mm drop in ride height and a non-power-assisted steering set-up.That being said, the previous owner was quick to stress that this example has spent its life solely on the road and has never been raced or used on the track as evidenced by its immaculate condition, both from a mechanical and aesthetic point of view. The car remains highly original throughout, still sporting the proper factory markings on screw heads and bolts and still retains its original manuals and even the seldom-seen tyre pressure gauge.The rare and highly desirable 964 RS was the first 911 to be graced with the RS badge since the Carerra RS 2.7 and 3.0, and it wears that badge well. Original and low mileage examples in immaculate condition are becoming increasingly hard to come by, and this example stands among the very best.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveOne of only 14 F430 GTC' built. Ex-Allan Simonsen, Pierre Ehret, Jim Tafel and Alex FiggeExclusive Ferrari 4-digit chassis number, as always allocated to the factory competition carsImpressive period results: 4th at the 2008 Sebring 12 Hours, multiple ALMS top 10 finishesRunner up team in 2008 ALMS GT2 Championship-the highest placed Ferrari team; 195 points to Porsche RSR's 211Most recently prepared by Bob Houghton and ran perfectly at Ascari in 2019Eligible for a variety of high-quality championships and events including 'Peter Auto Endurance Racing Legends', 'Masters Endurance Legends' and Ferrari's own exclusive 'Clienti' eventsExtensive spares package included, with full details listedAccompanied by an impressive history file and excitingly offered at No ReserveWith the arrival of Ferrari's new F430 GT2 in 2006 came, not only Frank Stephenson's stunning and fresh design, but a whole raft of improvements over the outgoing 360 GTC. With research carried out by Ferrari's Gestione Sportiva F1 Racing Division and the build and development entrusted to the Scuderia's long-term partner, Michelotto, the F430 GT2 was a genuine leap forwards rather than just a mere evolution. A total of 25 'Series 1' GT2 cars were built for 2006. In 2007, the launch of the second series saw a further 16 examples built for worldwide GT2 competition use. For 2008, the updated and new 430 EVO GTC was introduced, with 14 examples produced in total.Built to the FIA's GT2 specifications, the F430 was tantalisingly eligible for a number of series around the world and would go on to regularly dominate its class. An F430 GT2 won its inaugural American Le Mans Series Championship in 2006 and achieved the 'Holy Trinity' in 2007, winning the GT2 Championship in the FIA GT, Le Mans Series and the ALMS for the second time.For 2008, Pierre Ehret, a German-born businessman and gentleman driver, did not want to miss out and ordered two F430 GTCs. On 16th January 2008, Ferrari invoiced Ehret for the car you see here, Chassis #F131EVOGTC 2610, and he left nothing to chance when specifying his new race car. On top of the €435,000 base price, over €30,000 was spent on options, including a data acquisition system, water and engine oil quick refilling equipment, air conditioning, 24-hour race lights, a carbon clutch and an uprated front brake cooling system.Prepared and run by Tafel Racing, the pair of F430 GTCs arrived at Sebring in March for the season opener, which also happened to be the most important race of the year: the legendary 12-Hours. The car's owner, Pierre Ehret, shared the driving of No.73 with team owner Jim Tafel and the late, great Allan Simonsen, a Danish driver who would go on to become a 'Works' driver for Aston Martin, compete at Le Mans seven times and win the Asian Le Mans GT2 Championship in 2009. After the infamously gruelling round-the-clock race was run, No.73 came home 4th in class; a sterling effort which saw it finish ahead of its sister Ferrari and just 3 laps shy of that final podium position.From Sebring, No.73 would see out the remainder of its ALMS championship with great consistency and style. Of the nine races it contested, at some of North America's most prestigious circuits like Road Atlanta and Laguna Seca, No.73 finished in the top 10 an amazing eight times - just one retirement in an otherwise outstanding season.As a result of No.73's points scoring regularity, Tafel Racing finished 2nd overall in the GT2 class of the 2008 American Le Mans Series Championship; agonisingly just 16 points behind the Flying Lizard team's 911 RSR, but a whopping 36 points clear of the works-backed Risi Competizione F430 GTC.#F131EVOGTC 2610 was retired and sold after that initial season in the ALMS, preserving it carefully for the future, and it was the car's history and incredible original condition that caught the eye of the previous owner. It was during this ownership that the Ferrari returned to the track to compete in a select few rounds of the 2012 Pirelli World Challenge series. With David Welch at the helm, the then four-year-old Ferrari achieved three further top 10 finishes against some much more advanced machinery.Recently returned to its 2008 Sebring 12 Hours livery and prepared in 2019 by Bob Houghton and run at Ascari for a private track day last year, #F131EVOGTC 2610 remains highly original throughout and is now available for sale, accompanied by a large number of spares. It's scarcely believable that this Ferrari debuted some 12 years ago, but in that time it has become eligible for some of the most exciting events where entries are highly sought after - specifically both the Peter Auto Endurance Legends Series, where it is the latest and therefore 'ultimate' GT2 Ferrari eligible and also the Masters Endurance Legends series, together with the exclusive Ferrari Challenge and GT Days.One of only 14 and with fantastic provenance, this successful 430GTC remains in excellent original condition. It's a genuine modern-classic Ferrari sports racing car and in the right hands could be very competitive. With a large spares package and knowledgeable engineers still around, this is a remarkable opportunity.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The fabled Miura 'Spinto Veloce' in right-hand drive, an incredible opportunityThe ultimate spec MiuraOne of 147 SVs built in total and one of the final 94 split-sump carsOne of only 11 right-hand drive carsFull European spec when newDesirable factory fitted A/C, LSD and Radio Pack optionsFully documented 32,014 miles (51,523km) from new with recent service, fuel system overhaul, rebuild read brake cylinders and fresh MOT (30/06/2020)The SV was the final evolution and considered the most desirable Miura with only 147 manufactured within a total of 762 built. Of these 147, it is the final 94 cars supplied with the split-sump engine, such as this car, that is considered to be the absolute best.Completed on the 31st of March 1972, Chassis 5036 was originally ordered via Italian concessionaire Interauto, produced to European specification and delivered new, in left-hand drive, to regular Lamborghini client Antonio Spada of Brescia. This important fact does allow any future owner the possibility to convert back to left-hand drive where there is a far larger worldwide market, should they so desire. Original features recorded include a Rosso Corsa exterior finish, optional factory-fitted air conditioning, limited-slip differential and a radio pack. Latest research records that just nine right-drive SVs were originally commissioned and built new. The Australian Lamborghini importer was desperate to acquire two right-hand drive cars quickly for clients, so to avoid the inevitable delay in build time, the recently completed chassis 5036 and 5002 were purchased. They were both immediately, and clearly professionally, converted to right-hand drive, ahead of being shipped as effectively new, right-hand drive Miura SVs as, at the time, it was not permitted to bring a left-hand drive car into Australia. These cars, therefore, add two further examples to the tally of the original right-hand drive cars supplied worldwide.For anyone lucky enough to have sat in or indeed driven a Miura, for taller people the tight space and close throttle pedal are immediately apparent, but amazingly this car's right-hand-drive set up allows noticeably more room and comfort.According to the accompanying Build Log Slip, 5036 was Production Number 717, with the corresponding Bertone body number of 817, finished to European spec, fitted with Engine Number 30715 and, importantly is a split-sump car (1 of 94). It confirms the car still retains all it's original build details; finished in Rosso Corsa and Nero and was factory fitted with an LSD, air-conditioning, and a Radio Pack with roof aerial.When it arrived in Australia in late 1972/early 1973, 5036 was acquired by Dennis/Laurie O'Neal of Sydney, a well-known enthusiast who almost immediately sold it to Peter Opie of Sydney, who retained it for a short while before selling it to Queensland businessman, Gerry Kent, in 1975. The Miura remained with Mr Kent for nearly 29 years, retaining the car until his passing in 2004. His wife sold the SV to Lamborghini Australia with an indicated mileage of 48,708km. In a 'well enjoyed' state at the time, 5036 was substantially re-commissioned by the official importer at great cost, with the works performed by Carle Rheinberger, a Lamborghini specialist in Queensland, with the fully detailed bills on file commencing on 26th April 2004 to 26th January 2005 and totalling AUD 80,424. The work included the removal of the fuel tank and all fuel lines, refurbishment of the fuel tank, a complete suspension refurbishment, and the cleaning and re-coating of the chassis. The engine was fully checked over, and the cylinder heads were overhauled with the camshafts reground. In addition, the air conditioner was overhauled and re-gassed, the brake lines were renewed, and new brake discs and pads were fitted.The next owner was Rory Johnston, also of Sydney, who acquired 5036 directly from Lamborghini Sydney on 29th September 2006, actually selling his house to facilitate the purchase. The transaction was finalised on 20th October and the ownership change notified at 48,067 km (29,867 miles) that same day, with all documents on file. He reports that he enjoyed the Miura for a number of outings and events prior to, in May 2010, commissioning a Melbourne-based specialist to completely rebuild the engine at a cost of AUD 77,543. The original pistons were found to remain virtually perfect, so just new rings were fitted. The crankshaft was machined and reground, the cylinder heads were rebuilt, the engine bay received some detailing and the cooling system was refurbished. In addition, the air conditioning system was serviced and re-gassed, the ignition system was refurbished and properly set up and a set of new tyres were added. This work was carried out by Terzini Motore in Victoria at a mileage of 50,950km (31,658 miles) - so just 356 miles have been covered since.In 2010, the Miura was imported to the UK and soon sold to one of the world's most significant collections. Later, the decision was made to strip off all the exterior paint, now showing it age and refinish the car in its original colour. In 2019, the current owner sent the car to respected expert Bob Houghton to check through and fully service.Today the Miura SV remains in highly original and correctly-maintained condition, with its rare and highly desirable original specification including factory-fitted air conditioning, a limited-slip differential and a factory fitted radio with aerial. A repaint in the original Rosso Corsa has freshened the image, while the original interior remains hugely evocative.With Kidston SA's long-awaited, limited edition "The Lamborghini MIURA Book" bound to create renewed interest in this icon and currently going to press, numbered edition '717' has already been reserved and will be supplied with this car. Miura BookWith this example having been chosen as the cover car for CAR Magazine's 'Celebration of the Supercar' issue, the outrageous Italian supercar is celebrated as the one that set the template for almost every great automotive performance icon since.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

A 'C16' UK supplied right-hand drive 924 S - Porsche Centre Tonbridge restored car with some subtle upgradesPorsche GB runs an annual, national Classic Restoration Competition open to its Official Centres and their esteemed automotive partnersPorsche Centre Tonbridge entered the 2016 competition celebrating 40 years of front-engined cars; this painstakingly restored and 'uprated' 924 S is the result; featured in 'GT Porsche' magazineA remarkable car endowed with hundreds of hours of specialists' work and benefiting from its big brother's power-plant, being a wonderful hybrid between a 924 and 944In striking and period Signal Green, to match the 924's original launch colourAll mechanically renewed and boasting a beautifully upholstered interior - a real one-off and not to be missed!The 1976 Porsche 924 was a complete departure by the company, in that it featured a front-mounted, water-cooled 1984cc engine that was essentially an Audi unit which Porsche then tweaked to 125bhp. The power went to a rear-mounted gearbox/transaxle and the advantage of this layout was that it gave the car near-perfect front/rear weight distribution which naturally improved the handling. The 924 was clothed in a pretty two plus two bodyshell which featured a large glass hatchback giving access to a relatively large rear boot making this a very practical sports car. The 2-litre engine, which powered the earlier models, developed 125bhp and the maximum speed was in excess of 125mph.Things were to improve, however, with the arrival of the 924 S which was fitted with an 'all-Porsche' designed 2.5-litre engine with 163bhp available. With its sure-footed handling, the car was to prove a great success and nowadays is a popular choice as a potential future classic. The car presented here started life as a C16 (UK-supplied) 1988 Porsche 924 S delivered new via Porsche AFN Ltd. of Guildford. With complete servicing history, recorded in its original booklet, done in the main by Dick Lovett Porsche of Bristol, among others, right up until 2016, with the car showing in excess of 100,000 miles, it was chosen to be 'reborn'. Porsche GB runs an annual, national Classic Restoration Competition open to its Official Centres and their esteemed automotive partners. Porsche Centre Tonbridge entered the 2016 competition celebrating 40 years of front-engined cars and chose this car to bestow the most comprehensive of restoration on. The team used all their in-house mechanical know-how and outsourced other work to numerous approved partners, including the bodywork to 'SL Restorations', who, together Porsche, investing over 650 hours of highly skilled time into the car, fitting over 1,080 new parts. This painstakingly restored and 'uprated' 924 S is the result; it was featured in 'GT Porsche' magazine (which you can read in the photos listed here)This is now a remarkable car, utilising a 944 powerplant amongst other parts, being a wonderful hybrid between a 924 and 944, exploiting the benefits of either model. All mechanically renewed and boasting a beautifully upholstered interior - a real one-off and not to be missed!This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate.

Clutch and gearbox uprated to suitThe Turbo also featured improved aerodynamics, an integrated front bumper, standard external oil coolers for both the engine and transmission, standard 16-inch wheels, and a slightly stiffer suspension set-upPowerful 911 front and rear brakes with Brembo 4-piston fixed calipers, 12-inch discs and ABSFollowing the international success of their nimble 924, Porsche designed an all-alloy, 2.5-litre inline-four for their new 944 which they planned to introduce in 1982. Their talented engineers were able to produce a very smooth running four-cylinder engine by utilising two counter-rotating balance shafts running at twice engine speed. The result is a large four-cylinder engine that feels as turbine-smooth as a six.Cosmetically, the 944's bodywork was revised with wider wheel arches (like that of the 924 Carrera GT), a fresh interior and upgrades to the brakes and suspension. With greater visual presence and the performance to match, better handling, stopping power and more creature comforts, the 944 was a natural step forward.A 'turbo' version of the 944 was always on the cards, and for the 1985 model year, Porsche introduced the 944 Turbo, known internally as the 951. Forced induction boosted the 2.5-litre engine by a healthy 60bhp, up to 217bhp, with the clutch and gearbox uprated to suit. The Turbo also featured several other changes, such as improved aerodynamics, notably an integrated front bumper, standard external oil coolers for both the engine and transmission, standard 16-inch wheels (optional forged Fuchs alloys), and a slightly stiffer suspension set-up. The Turbo's front and rear brakes were borrowed from the Porsche 911, with Brembo 4-piston fixed calipers and 12-inch discs and ABS was also standard. The car presented here is a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo Coupé and is a C16 (UK-supplied) RHD example. It is one of the most original examples of its type we have ever offered, having been in the hands of real marque enthusiasts over the years. The car featured in a PistonHeads article saying "This 944 Turbo might well be one of very best. There's just enough patina to confirm the odometer's admission to 21,000 miles, but in every other regard its near immaculate and in what seems to be completely original nick".The adage of buying the best example you can find of anything, is very evident here - if you want a best-of-breed 944 Turbo, this car is certainly that. Never restored just maintained extremely well and used infrequently, with specialists such as Autofarm and RPM looking after it over the years, there is much to appreciate here.

A 'C16', right-hand drive, Gen 1 GT3 RS. One of 119 UK cars and only 5,534 miles from newFinished in limited edition Orange, with black wheels and decals and just 5,534 miles from newAn original 'C16' UK-supplied, right-hand drive Gen 1 having formed part of an amazing Private Porsche collectionAn RS version of the 997 GT3 became available in October 2006 weighing some 20 kilos lessThe reduction in weight to 1375kg resulted in an improved power to weight ratio of 300bhp/tonOne for true 911 enthusiast, this RS must be one of the lowest mileage GT3s in existence and we feel represents an excellent opportunity In February 2006, Porsche revealed their first-generation 997 GT3, and in common with all GT2 and GT3 iterations, most of the developments and upgrades were directly related to performance improvements on their competition cars, and the associated homologation requirements for FIA approval. In addition to the new 415bhp, 3.6-litre flat 6 with its 6-speed box, the vehicle pioneered "zero lift" aerodynamics, meaning, at speed, the body shape created only aerodynamic "downforce" with no grip-diminishing "lift" and made extensive use of a racing-related version of Porsche's active PASM suspension system. This made it the first of the quick RS or GT3 versions to feature an electronically adjustable suspension set up. An RS version of the GT3 became available in October of that year weighing some 20 kilos less, and this saving was achieved by the use of a carbon fibre rear wing, a plastic engine cover and a lightweight rear window made from the same material. A slightly wider track was concealed in the muscular rear end provided by the Carrera 4 shell, aiding grip and stability at the expense of a little bit more drag, however, the reduction in weight to 1375Kg resulted in an improved power to weight ratio of 300bhp /ton. The body panels are unique to the 997 GT3 RS, and a small number of cars were painted in a limited-edition Orange colour (8C6) mixed specially for this model.This, 'C16' UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 'Gen 1' example is one of only 119 UK cars and has covered a remarkable 5,534 miles from new. Finished in limited edition orange with black wheels and decals this example has only had two previous owners.This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years.

A 'C16' UK-supplied Series 2 Cabriolet with 19,283 miles from new.One of the last examples produced in the final year of productionGleaming Crystal Silver Metallic paintwork, unmarked midnight blue interior and hoodOnly 19,283 miles from new and three previous ownersComplete with its original leather wallet containing service manuals and records, and previous MOTsIn 1989 the second series of the 944 was introduced, powered by a 210 bhp normally aspirated, double-overhead-cam 16-valve 3.0-litre version of the 944S engine, which was the largest four-cylinder engine in production at the time. The 944S2 also benefited from a revised transmission and the gearing was tweaked to better suit the torque and peak power characteristics of the 3.0 L M44/41 powerplant. The S2 had the same rounded nose and a rear valance found on the 944 Turbo model and this was the first example of the use of an integrated front bumper, where the bumper and bonnet profiles would merge smoothly with the valance, a design feature that has only now seen widespread adoption on production cars from the early nineties. In 1989, Porsche released the 944 S2 Cabriolet that featured cabriolet body built by the ASC-American Sunroof Company at Weinsberg in Germany, creating a very good looking car with excellent dynamic qualities that was rewarding to drive and well received by the motoring press.This 19,300 mile, 944 S2 Cabriolet has enjoyed the sunshine with three previous owners who were obviously fastidious and caring, as is evident from the car's proud stance and impressive appearance. We are informed it has always been garaged and maintained to the highest standards. The car's history file contains some relevant records and invoices in its leather wallet, including the service manuals and records, and previous MOTs. A fresh MOT will be issued before the sale. Built in the last year of 944 production, there can't be many 944 Cabriolets with mileage as low as this. The car positively shouts "Buy me" with its gleaming Crystal Silver Metallic paintwork, unmarked midnight blue interior and hood, and its smartly polished alloys. Inevitably, as the prices of good 911s creep ever higher, 944s, 928s, and 968s will surely follow, so now may be as good a time as any to join the party. This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years.

A 'C16' UK-supplied right-hand drive car - one of only 26 and only 29,097 miles from newSitting near the top of the 993-generation hierarchy, Porsche's 911 Turbo S was introduced as the first-ever model of its kind in 1997Headlined by a 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds, the Turbo S could hit 100 mph from a standstill in 8.9 secondsAs one of the last air-cooled 911s, the Turbo S is one of the most powerful models to have worn the 911 moniker and as a result, makes it hugely desirable and collectableSupplied with two sets of keys, service book, manuals and reams of invoices Sitting near the top of the 993-generation hierarchy, Porsche's 911 Turbo S was introduced as the first-ever model of its kind in 1997. The basic facts can look a bit dry; Type 993, 450 bhp, 3605cc air-cooled flat six-cylinder engine with twin turbochargers and electronic fuel injection, six-speed manual transaxle, front and rear independent suspension with coil springs, and four-wheel ventilated steel disc brakes, however, the Turbo S was a big step up over the standard 911 Turbo in terms of performance and price. Headlined by a 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds, the Turbo S could hit 100 mph from a standstill in 8.9 seconds, only half a second faster than the standard Turbo. But that didn't matter, the Turbo S was special and getting your name on the waiting list to buy one was nigh on impossible unless you were very closely related to a Dealer Principal. All 345 examples of the 993 Turbo S were built by Porsche's Exclusive department and the specification included a number of unique features when compared to other 911s of the period. The car sported yellow brake callipers, a unique rear spoiler, polished five-spoke Turbo S wheels, an Aerokit front spoiler, an air intake in the rear wings, and four exhaust pipes at the rear. Inside, the 911 Turbo S luxuriated in carbon fibre trim contrasting with the softest of leathers and provided the type of luxury that customers had come to know and love from Porsche's top-shelf models.This, 'C16' UK-Supplied, right-hand drive, Turbo S is one of only 26 and has covered a remarkable 29,097 miles from new.

A 'C16' UK-supplied, right-hand drive, manual gearbox 993 Targa and only 23,916 miles from new.A 'C16' UK-supplied, right-hand drive 993 Targa. Desirable manual gearbox and only 23,916 miles from newThe last of the hand-built 911sAll-glass retractable roof rather than removable panels - cementing the link between heightened functionality and aesthetic formLess than 24,000 miles from new with service book, manuals, and spare keysThe 993 Targa was released in the 1996 model year and showcased a retractable glass roof dubbed the "greenhouse" system which would continue to feature on the 996 and 997 models. The glass roof slides underneath the rear window creating an open-air motoring experience without the hassle of a convertible. The new design allowed the Targa to retain the same profile design as the other Carrera variants and freed the driver from the inconvenience of storing the detached roof. Delivered on the 28th of August 1997, this particular Arctic Silver C2 Targa with the desirable six-speed manual gearbox has covered less than 24,000 miles from new. Leaving the factory with Sport Seats, Optional Rear Wiper, and a Graduated Tint Windshield, the condition throughout is exemplary and would be extremely difficult to better. Accompanied by a complete book pack, numerous invoices, previous MOT Certificates, and spare keys. A true long-distance tourer with the look of the Coupe but the benefits of a convertible.

A truly amazing right-hand drive 993 Turbo with only 745 miles from newA truly amazing 'C25' (Thailand) right-hand drive 993 Turbo in 'Special Wish Flat' with a 'Special Wish Interior' in triple-yellowOnly 745 miles from new (1,200 km) with service book, manuals, spare keys and correspondenceThe Turbo combined bigger brakes, fatter tires, a wide body and lower stance When launched, the 993 Turbo was one of the fastest cars on the planet Having formed part of an amazing private Porsche collection we welcome any inspection of this amazing 911 Turbo The 993 Turbo, introduced in mid-1995, retained a tight hold on the torch of the most powerful 911 variant whilst continuing the general development and improvements to the breed as a whole. Amongst the new features on the 993 Turbo was an electronically controlled, viscous coupling, all-wheel-drive system, something Porsche had not offered on a turbocharged model since the 959 and a system that greatly improved the driveability of the Turbo. Under the engine lid, now topped with a sculpted spoiler tail with downturned edges, resided the 3.6-litre, flat-six force-fed by twin K16 turbos. Combined with bigger brakes, fatter tires, a wide body and lower stance, the 993 Turbo was one of the fastest cars on the planet. With all four wheels helping to evenly distribute great handfuls of power, 0-60mph was dispatched in a staggering 3.7 seconds, 100mph whistled by in a further 5.7 seconds, and the linear forward thrust continued until the speedometer needle had said goodbye to 180mph and you were on conversational terms with the horizon.This is a truly amazing 'C25' (Thailand delivered), right-hand-drive, 993 Turbo that's only done 1,200 km from new. Perhaps an unrepeatable example with that mileage anyway, the car is also finished in triple yellow! Accompanying the Turbo is the original service book, manuals, spare keys and correspondence, which includes communication with the Porsche club as to the ordered specification when new. The communications confirm the paint is described as 'Special wish flat' with a 'special wish interior'.This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years.

A 'C16' UK-supplied right-hand drive car and only 6,623 miles from new.The 'S' benefitted from an 'all-Porsche' designed 2.5-litre engine producing 163bhpThis UK-spec, right-hand drive 924 S was supplied new in February 1987 by Follett Porsche in LondonFactory-fitted with power steering, sunroof, electric windows, alarm, and a Hamilton Palmer sound systemOnly 6,600 miles during the first owner's 27-year tenureMaintained and serviced by main Porsche dealers on a regular basis from newOn offer from a private collection with only 6,623 miles from new. RemarkableThe 1976 Porsche 924 was a complete departure by the company, in that it featured a front-mounted, water-cooled 1984cc engine that was essentially an Audi unit which Porsche then tweaked to 125bhp. The power went to a rear-mounted gearbox and the advantage of this layout was that it gave the car near-perfect front/rear weight distribution which naturally improved the handling. The 924 was clothed in a pretty two plus two bodyshell which featured a large glass hatchback giving access to a relatively large rear boot making this a very practical sports car. The 2-litre engine, which powered the earlier models, developed 125bhp and the maximum speed was in excess of 125mph.Things were to improve, however, with the arrival of the 924S which was fitted with an 'all-Porsche' designed 2.5-litre engine with 163bhp available. With its sure-footed handling, the car was to prove a great success and nowadays is a popular choice as a potential future classic. This UK-spec, right-hand drive 924 S was supplied new in February 1987 by Follett Porsche in London to Mr Ashley Munir who purchased it as a gift for his daughter. From new, it was fitted with power steering, a sunroof, electric windows, an alarm, and a Hamilton Palmer music system, all factory fitted. The car was her pride and joy and she used it very sparingly, covering just 6,600 miles during her 27-year tenure. It has been maintained and serviced by main Porsche dealers on a regular basis from new, including all the fluids being changed, and is supplied with its original book pack and service history. It has to be seen to be believed as the condition is truly exceptional and is offered directly from the Stuggart Collection with 6,623 miles from new. An amazing and extremely rare opportunity to buy a totally original and highly usable classic Porsche that is, pretty much, unchanged since new.This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate.

Fitted with the excellent paddle-shift PDK gearboxThe Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition, a limited edition 911 to mark 50 years since Porsche first unveiled its rear-engined sports car back in 1963. It's based on a 991 Carrera S with a few styling tweaks and a handful of optional extras. Production was limited to 1963 units, and prices started at £92,257 in 2014.The 50th Anniversary Edition is rear-wheel drive, but it uses the wider bodyshell from the four-wheel-drive Carrera 4. That not only makes it look more muscular than a standard Carrera S, it also means that there's a wider track and revised suspension settings.Porsche Torque Vectoring, which includes a mechanical limited-slip differential, is an optional extra on the Carrera S but it comes as standard fit on the 50th Anniversary Edition. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), the marque's impressive adaptive damping system, is also included. The familiar 3.8-litre flat-six, which develops 394bhp at 7400rpm, is carried over unchanged. The paddle-shift PDK gearbox was available as an option at extra cost.Over and above the standard car, the most readily identifiable upgrades include the Fuchs-inspired 20-inch alloy wheels, the darkened headlights surrounds and the chrome highlights across the engine cover. Geyser Grey paintwork is specific to the 50th Anniversary Edition, while a darker shade of grey and the standard Carrera S hue Basalt Black were also available. Inside, cloth seat inserts and a dash-mounted plaque set this limited-edition model apart from the rest of the range.In Sport Plus mode, the car shakes itself down and really comes alive. Support at each corner is ramped up - although since PASM is adaptive it still works on uneven surfaces - throttle response is sharpened, and a brilliant throttle blip function perfectly matches engine and road speeds on the way down the gears.The 50th Anniversary Edition offered here has covered just 11,186 miles from new with a single owner and has Porsche Centre service history (last serviced 27th June 2019 at 10,861 miles). With the look and feel of a 'new' car, this is a real chance to own a limited edition 911 at a very enticing guide price.This was the second retrospectively-styled 911 that Porsche launched in the space of a few years.

Superbly finished in black with black leather25,932 warranted miles from new as confirmed by the accompanying MOT CertificatesComplete with the gold 'LE' plaque on the centre consoleComprehensive history file with older MOTs, service records etcIn 1989, marking what was believed to be the end of the forced- induction 911, Porsche created a very special, limited edition 930. With this, its aim was to create the ultimate Turbo. Starting out as a standard 3.3-litre model, the cars were then sent to the 'Exclusive' team at Zuffenhausen who rebuilt each example by hand. Just 50 of these cars were produced, offered at an incredible price of £84,492. Adding to its exclusivity, each Porsche centre was limited to just one example. A host of bespoke, no-cost options was offered, including colour-coded wheel centres, a choice of any colour for the bodywork as well as interior leather and top-tinted windscreen. The car was finished off with a gold plaque on the centre console as recognition for the LE's place in Porsche history. "G927 YND" was first registered on the 3rd August 1989 as a UK market right-hand drive car finished in Black with cream leather upholstery. Since then it has been enjoyed by four previous owners and covered a mere 25,932 warranted miles as detailed by the accompanying MOT certificates in the comprehensive history file. The car has been well maintained throughout its life benefitting from Porsche main dealer servicing up to 23,000 miles in 2006. From this point forward it has been part of a private collection and has led a pampered 2,800-mile existence with regular oil and filter changes carried out at a similar time as the annual MOT's.

A last year of production 'C16' UK Supplied right-hand drive GTS with just 18,897 miles from new.The ultimate 928 incarnation, the GTS was launched at Frankfurt Motor Show in 1991, boasting a 5.4-litre V8 engine producing 345bhp, bigger brakes, new bodywork and an automatic gearbox fitted with dynamic kick-downLast-year-of-production UK/right-hand drive GTS with full history with just a few (fully documented) ownersJust 18,897 miles backed-up by a comprehensive history file, including its original book-pack (with a stamped-up service booklet), numerous invoices and old MOT CertificatesPreviously owned by a 928 Register memberNot many 928s survive with so few miles and is certainly one of the best available anywhereIn terms of the 928, in 1989 Porsche moved the game on with the even more powerful 928 GT, which with a top speed of around 170mph was the Stuttgart firm's fastest production car at that time, before launching the model's ultimate incarnation: the 928 GTS. Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1991, the latter boasted a 5.4-litre engine producing all of 345bhp and automatics were fitted with the much faster responding Dynamic Kickdown gearboxes setting them apart from the previous models. Externally, the GTS differed from the S4 with its new style of alloy wheels, flared rear arches and a body-coloured rear spoiler. What Porsche was not advertising when the 928 was released was the price; it was among the most expensive cars on the road at the time. This severely hampered sales despite the model's level of competency and long standard equipment list. Porsche discontinued the GTS in 1995 after selling only 2,904 examples in total, which at the time was a problem, but in 2020 makes for a rare and incredibly desirable Porsche.The car presented here is a 1995 Porsche 928 GTS which was initially sent new to JCT 600 of Newcastle, before being delivered via Stratstone Porsche of Wilmslow on the 28th February 1995. As a flagship model, it was used by the dealership initially as a demonstrator car. As a demonstrator it wore the registration 'M327 YSG', until the 22nd June 1995 when it sold to a Mr Davies of the Isle of Mann (changing to registration to 'MIN 928'), coming back to the UK on the 1st June 1999, then owned by a Mr Elmslie of Edinburgh (changing to registration '755 ELM'). It later sold to a Mr Irving of Cheshire in May 2001, returning to registration 'M327 YSG'. After this time, it wore a succession of other registrations, '6 TDG', 'N920 MPV', then 'L186 RTY', before again returning to 'N920 MPV', which it wears today. In stylish Midnight Blue with Mable Grey perforated leather seats piped in Midnight Blue this remarkably well-preserved car has covered just less than 19,000 miles - amazingly low for such a GT car.With an impressive accompanying history file, documenting ownership and service history, plus old MOT Certificates and invoices to help verify the mileage, this is a car that has obviously been loved and well maintained by a just a handful of diligent previous owners. This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years.

Bigger turbos, from the X50 Powerkit, were fitted boosting output to 450bhp and the car's top speed broke through that magic 300km/h barrier, with a maximum of 190mph (307km/h) placing it firmly in supercar territory.

A stunning, UK right-hand drive, AFN Supplied SWB 2.0 S CoupeBelieved to be the first sold and registered right-hand drive 1968 M/Y 'S'Twin Weber 40IDS carbs and a higher compression ratio resulted in 160bhpRemaining with its first owner until 2000, some 33 years and only three recorded keepers sinceSympathetic restoration carried out to the highest level utilising all factory parts as requiredComplete engine rebuild by Francis Tuthill with minimal use sinceStill retains its original Elephant Hide seatsOriginal registration number - OUW 6F - has been reassignedThe 1967/68 'O-Series' 911S was the first of five decades of more powerful developments of the one that started it all, the 911 2.0-litre from 1964. #11800138 (OUW 6F) was manufactured on 17/8/1967 and is the 138th 911'S' off the production line. It's believed to be one of just two right-hand drive 911S models that were delivered to AFN as the first of the 1968 model year. One of the two became the AFN demonstrator with this particular example being sold to a Mr Berry of Market Harborough and is probably the first UK sold and registered, right-hand drive 1968 'S'. It remained in his ownership until 2000 when it was sold at auction and it has been enjoyed by just three recorded keepers since. During Mr Berry's ownership, the Porsche underwent a colour change to red from its original Ivory White and in the hands of its second owner it was treated to a complete engine rebuild by Francis Tuthill and the associated invoice remains in the history file. From this point, things moved forward and whilst with its third owner a sympathetic restoration commenced. The 'S' was stripped to a bare shell and rebuilt from the ground up utilising as many of the original parts as possible. New front wings, door skins, front panel and sills were replaced - all acquired through Porsche before the shell was once again refinished back to its original factory shade. The interior was retrimmed where required however the original Elephant Hide Seats were saved, it was also noted at this time that the dash top signature and VIN number were still in place as it left the factory in 1967 such was the originality! The engine, gearbox and running gear were all refurbished and detailed before being refitted.This particular 911S is thought to be as close as you will find, to being as it rolled off the production line some fifty-three years ago and comes complete with a full photographic record of the rejuvenation, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, various invoices and an original, but snapped, key!An opportunity then to tick that box and acquire what must surely be one of the best early 2.0S 911s on the market today.This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate.

A 'C16' UK-supplied right-hand drive car - one of only 26 and only 34,428 miles from newA 'C16' UK-supplied right-hand drive car - one of only 26 and only 34,428 miles from newTop of the 993-generation hierarchy, the Turbo 'S' was introduced as the first-ever model of its kind in 1997Headlined by a 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds, the Turbo S could hit 100 mph from a standstill in 8.9 secondsSupplied with two sets of keys, service book, manuals and reams of invoices Sitting near the top of the 993-generation hierarchy, Porsche's 911 Turbo S was introduced as the first-ever model of its kind in 1997. The basic facts can look a bit dry; Type 993, 450 bhp, 3605cc air-cooled flat six-cylinder engine with twin turbochargers and electronic fuel injection, six-speed manual transaxle, front and rear independent suspension with coil springs, and four-wheel ventilated steel disc brakes, however, the Turbo S was a big step up over the standard 911 Turbo in terms of performance and price. Headlined by a 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds, the Turbo S could hit 100 mph from a standstill in 8.9 seconds, only half a second faster than the standard Turbo. But that didn't matter, the Turbo S was special and getting your name on the waiting list to buy one was nigh on impossible unless you were very closely related to a Dealer Principal. All 345 examples of the 993 Turbo S were built by Porsche's Exclusive department and the specification included a number of unique features when compared to other 911s of the period. The car sported yellow brake callipers, a unique rear spoiler, polished five-spoke Turbo S wheels, an Aerokit front spoiler, an air intake in the rear wings, and four exhaust pipes at the rear. Inside, the 911 Turbo S luxuriated in carbon fibre trim contrasting with the softest of leathers and provided the type of luxury that customers had come to know and love from Porsche's top-shelf models.This, 'C16' UK-Supplied, right-hand drive, Turbo S is one of only 26 and has covered a remarkable 34,428 miles from new. Supplied with two sets of keys, service book, manuals and reams of invoices this special car will reward any inspection.This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate. A safety check will also be carried out along with an inspection report included in the history file.As one of the last air-cooled 911s, the Turbo S is one of the most powerful models to have worn the 911 moniker and as a result makes it hugely desirable and collectable.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

A 'C16' UK Supplied right-hand drive CS, fully restored by Porsche Centre LeicesterPorsche GB runs an annual, national Classic Restoration Competition open to its Official Centres and their esteemed automotive partnersPrevious winners, Porsche Centre Leicester, took part again in 2015/2016 deciding to restore an example of the revered 968 CSChoosing a very solid car, sold by the group originally, and with a comprehensive history file, its original stamped-up service book and many invoices, a team of Porsche technicians and approved body-shop Chartwell set about creating the ultimate restored 968 CSNo area was left untouched, costing c£55,000 and using many hundreds of hours, the car is now as good as it could be, with the restoration all fully documentedHighly revered as one of the best-handling Porsche models everTrack-focused run-out model adopting the philosophy of 'less is more', with the addition of race-style seats and a sunroofLong-term Porsche devotees will be all too familiar with the 968, introduced to the world back in 1991, and as it turned out, was to be the end of the line for Porsche's enduring front-engined four-cylinder model line. The 968 was developed directly from the 944, which meant adopting its well-honed and well-proven running gear, whilst presenting a fresh design aesthetic that made it feel like a significantly new model. The standard 968 was a great all-round sports car, but as a last 'hurrah' to this enduring lineage Porsche wanted to create a car tailored more for the pure enthusiast and, in particular, one that would excel in competition. In late 1992, the 968 'Club Sport' was introduced and, whilst it was mechanically identical to the standard 968 and shared the same 3.0-litre engine (producing 225lb-ft of torque and 240bhp) and 6-speed gearbox (situated at the rear axle, which helped give the car it's excellent weight distribution), it differed in a number of important ways. This track-focused run-out model adopted the philosophy of 'less is more' by removing all luxury-related equipment from the basic build specification. With the no-frills approach, less weight and clever suspension, Porsche could now focus media attention on the Club Sport's fast road and track abilities. As soon as the press got hold of the Clubsport and discovered what a brilliant drivers' car it was, the credibility of the 968 went through the roof. Even Walter Röhrl reckoned it was the best handling car that Porsche made. The CS achieved a 'Performance Car of The Year' award in 1993 from Performance Car magazine in the UK. In total, just 1,923 CS examples were produced worldwide, of which only 179 were UK right-hand drive models, making the Club Sport a very rare Porsche indeed. Every year Porsche GB runs a national Classic Restoration Competition open to its Official Centres and their esteemed automotive partners. Having won overall in 2014 in the Turbo/Targa group, Porsche Centre Leicester took part again in 2015/2016, deciding to complete a full and comprehensive restoration of the revered 968 CS.A long-standing Sales Manager managed to source a very solid and genuine Black (A1A1) UK (C16) supplied 968 CS, originally sold in group by Sytner in 1993. Adding to its integrity, the car came with a comprehensive history file, its original stamped-up service book, a COA, and many invoices, verifying its conservative mileage of 87,000 miles.The car was promptly disassembled, assessed and the project began. The engine, gearbox, clutch, driveshafts, suspension, and wiring loom were all removed, evaluated, and fully rebuilt. The bodywork was attended to by specialists Chartwell, again to highly exacting standards - with the car eventually winning in the Body and Paint category.No area was left untouched, with the project costing c£55,000 and using many hundreds of hours, the car is now as good as it could be, with the restoration all fully documented in a presentation brochure and numerous files. The car was used by Porsche Centre Leicester at various industry events where their skills could be showcased. A 968 Club Sport like no other - restored by its maker.This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate.

An original UK supplied, right-hand drive, Porsche 356 Super 90Exceptionally rare and collectable Super 90 Coupe. Porsche Letter of AuthenticityOriginal UK, right-hand drive, AFN supplied and matching numbersFull top quality restoration of all components and Andy Prill engine rebuildNineties FIA competition history on Le Rallye de Monte-Carlo Historique with classificationStunning combination of Slate Grey with Red leatheretteThe 356 is acknowledged as Porsche's first production car and was a lightweight and nimble-handling rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-door sports car available in hardtop, Coupe, and open configurations. Design innovations continued during the years of manufacture, contributing to its motorsports success and popularity. The model was created by Ferdinand "Ferry" Porsche (son of Dr Ing. Ferdinand Porsche, founder of the company), based on an original design by Porsche employee Erwin Komenda, its mechanicals (including engine, suspension, and chassis) were derived from the Volkswagen Beetle. Porsche re-engineered and refined the car with a focus on performance. By the late '50s, many fewer parts were shared between Volkswagen and Porsche and increasing success with its racing and road cars brought Porsche orders for over 10,000 units in 1964, and by the time 356 production ended in 1965 approximately 76,000 had been produced. Today, the Porsche 356 is a highly regarded collector's car with the Super 90 amongst the most desirable 356 models, partially due to the type's much-enjoyed success in rallying: the 24 hours of Le Mans, the 1000 km Buenos Aires, the Mille Miglia, the Targa Florio, the Carrera Panamericana, as well as many other important motorsport events.This Porsche 356B Coupe is an original UK, right-hand drive T-6 'Super 90' that was supplied new by AFN in Chiswick, London. It was delivered on 14/05/1963 and was finished in Slate Grey with a red leatherette interior. The previous owner discovered the car and immediately realised he had found something very special indeed. Surprisingly, all the panels, engine, and gearbox were found to be original and he quickly set about a full ground-up restoration. The shell was totally stripped and painted in its original colour of Slate Grey and the interior re-trimmed in red leatherette. Emphasis was placed on finishing the car to its original specification during the rebuild and the original engine was totally rebuilt and washas tuned and set up by Andy Prill. The original gearbox was rebuilt and almost all mechanical components were either rebuilt, replaced and restored. This stunning Super 90 is ready for the road again and a large number of photographs document the entire process. The history file for this 356 is simply superb. With its original green and brown buff log books, old FIA papers, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirming matching numbers, bills and receipts, old MOT Certificates, and pictures and details of the restoration just completed, it makes for fascinating reading. One of the most interesting aspects of this 356's history is that on 15th December 1989, the car was granted FIA competition papers and was extensively used on road rally events. In fact, the car competed in Le Rallye de Monte-Carlo Historique three times in the 1990's and even came 20th overall and 2nd in class. There are pictures of the car on the rally in the history file and on our website. We encourage all pre-sale inspections of this vehicle and welcome prospective bidders to contact the office for further details. This extremely rare 356B Super 90 Coupe is a very collectable car indeed and, at the time of consignment, was the only right-hand drive Super 90 Coupe on the market in the UK. This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate.

A 'C16', right-hand drive, Turbo S with just 18,688 miles from newJust 18,688 miles with two previous keepers and Porsche Centre service historyPDK gearbox is standard, as is the Sport Chrono Pack, which includes a launch control functionThe direct-injection, twin-turbo 3.8-litre flat-six of the 'S' gains revised intake valve timing, a new carbon air-box and a boost in turbo pressure to 1.2bar, with power up to 523bhpRocket-ship figures; 0 to 62mph in 3.3 seconds and 0 to 124 mph in 10.8 secondsCar magazine stated, 'The Turbo is essentially a GT car, but one that's small and dynamic and fast enough to outrun most supercars'As run-out models go, this must be the ultimate - Porsche's then fastest ever 911, the Turbo S. The all-wheel-drive flagship 911 sat at the top of the 911 range for the last two years of 997 production.The 997 received a mid-cycle refresh in late 2008 for the 2009 model year and was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in September 2008 (so-called '997 Gen II' internally at Porsche and '997.2' informally by enthusiasts). The 997 Gen ll Turbo wasn't unveiled until the 2009 Frankfurt motor show and was fitted with a completely new 3.8-litre engine with revised Borg-Warner variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbochargers, whilst the optional 7-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox replaced the Tiptronic. With PDK and the also optional Sport-Chrono package, which includes the availability of electronically controlled launch control and an over-boost function for temporarily increasing the turbo-pressure, the regular Turbo was certainly no slouch, with 493bhp and 480 lb-ft of torque.Porsche has traditionally raised the appeal of the 911 Turbo during the latter part of its life-cycle with a heavily optioned 'S' model (S standing for Sport) and the 997 Turbo is no exception. Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2010, it was available only with the 7-speed PDK transmission and carbon-ceramic brakes along with the Sport Chrono package as standard. Whilst also featuring Dynamic Engine Mounts, which 'tense up' during hard driving and stay more flexible when pootling to calm noise and vibration, 19-inch RS Spyder alloys, adaptive sports seats, and leather.The engine in the Turbo S was subtly tweaked to boost performance and receives a nominal 1.0 bar of boost (against 0.8 bar on the standard version) along with lightly modified turbocharger vanes and a carbon fibre air manifold to endow the Turbo S with 523bhp (30bhp more than the regular Turbo) and a continuous (not over-boosted) 516lb ft of torque. The Turbo S was Porsche's fastest production car to date at the time of its introduction, having a 0-62 mph acceleration time of 3.3 seconds while ultimately reaching a maximum speed of 196 mph.This powerful, second generation, 997 Turbo S was delivered new through Porsche Centre Sutton Coldfield on the 21st July 2010 and looks very purposeful in Basalt Black Metallic paintwork. Combined with the very well optioned Black/Cream leather interior, the car presents as a refined Grand Tourer, but with 'supercar' performance. This Turbo S has been looked after by authorised Porsche service centres at the following intervals - 10,858 miles, 14,206 miles, 16,127 miles and 18,274 miles. Sold by well-known classic and performance car specialists Tom Hartley Jnr in 2016 to a Porsche enthusiast, this is a well-maintained Turbo S in superb condition.This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years.

A superbly engineered, right- hand drive, recreation of the famous Porsche 550 SpyderA Chamonix 550 Spyder built in 2009 by Special Editions Inc. (USA) from the base car manufactured in Sao Paulo in BrazilInitially supplied to F1 Assistant Race Director Herbie BlashSpecial Editions Inc. has been responsible for producing other 550 Spyders for the likes of Jay Leno and designer Gordon Murray leaving no doubt about the quality and desirability of these well-crafted carsThe overall fit and finish of the bodywork is of an exceptionally high standard and the general condition is commensurate with only having covered 3,500 milesThe rear wings have been painstakingly detailed with red painted flashes with gold edging as a nod to period race liveries and are painted on. The look continues with a GT mirror, Porsche badging, mesh headlight covers and leather engine-cover strapsThe engine is 1915cc which gives vivid performance combined with the legendary nimble handling offered by the tubular chassis and coil-over suspensionRegistered as a 1955 Chamonix so it's exempt from Road Fund TaxWith original 550 Spyders' at £5,000,000, this is a very good second best and represents remarkable valuePorsche's first attempt at building a race car was the 550 Spyder. It was powered by their Carrera 1500cc quad-cam flat-four engine and it soon gained a reputation as a ''Giant Killer'' with just a modest 115bhp. In 1956, an evolution of the Spyder won the Targa Floria and the 550 was to record numerous successes worldwide over the next few years. During September 1955 one of the first ninety 550 Spyders (Vin 550-0055) would, sadly, be immortalised in history when James Dean, actor and budding racing driver, collided with Donald Turnupseed on his way to the Salinas Road Race. The trans-axle was removed from the wreck of the Spyder and is still owned in the USA, and the battered bodywork of ''Little Bastard'' toured the States as a macabre reminder to speeding motorists. Between venues, it went missing and has not been heard of since, however, somebody knows where it is.Offered here is Chamonix 550 Spyder built in 2009 by Special Editions Inc. (USA) from the base car manufactured in Sao Paulo in Brazil. It was initially supplied to F1 Assistant Race Director, Herbie Blash who's usually seen in the driver's weighing room after a Grand Prix. Special Editions Inc. has been responsible for producing other 550 Spyders for the likes of Jay Leno and designer Gordon Murray leaving no doubt about the quality and desirability of these well-crafted cars. The overall fit and finish of the bodywork is of an exceptionally high standard and the general condition is commensurate with only having covered 3,500 miles. The rear wings have been painstakingly detailed with red painted flashes with gold edging as a 'nod' to period race liveries and are painted on. The look continues with a GT mirror, Porsche badging, mesh headlight covers and leather engine-cover straps. The red leather interior features a 14'' Nardi wood rim wheel, aluminium control stalks, and a push-button starter. The weather equipment consists of full/half tonneau and side screens. The engine is 1915cc which gives vivid performance combined with the legendary nimble handling offered by the tubular chassis and coil-over suspension. It's registered as a 1955 Chamonix so it's exempt from Road Fund Tax.With original 550 Spyders' at £5,000,000, this is a very good second best and in this condition, and at this guide, represents remarkable value.This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate.

A 'C16' UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 'Turbo-look' Speedster with only 8,325 miles from new.Inspired by the iconic 1950's Porsche 356 Speedster's unique low line look>Built on the J-Series platform at Zuffenhausen for one year only (1989)Two body styles, 'Turbo Look' and standard. 2,104 built in total. Very few right-hand drive, UK cars231bhp, 3164cc flat-six from the Carrera. 0-60 in 5.4 seconds and 150mphSupplied new by AFN Porsche and first registered on 01/08/1989Full service history, 15 stamps in the original service book. Most recent at 8,011 milesOriginal handbooks/wallet/older MOTs corroborate the cars warranted 8,325 milesInspired by the iconic 1950s Porsche 356 Speedster's unique low line look, Porsche introduced the Carrera 2-based Speedster as a concept at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show. It was a two-seater based on the J-programme, 'rubber bumper' 911 and designed to relive the no-frills, top-down days of the original 356 Speedster. The new car was intended for "friends of open motoring," as Porsche put it, and its roof was stored under a colour-coded polyurethane moulding on the rear deck, behind the driver and passenger's heads. The seats were lower than normal, the aluminium-framed windscreen was raked back by five degrees and the side windows were frameless.The Speedster made it into production for one year only, 1989, and was available in two body styles: Turbo Look and standard, with the 935-style 'Slant-Nose' treatment available on either. 2,104 were built in total, primarily for Porsche's two core markets, the United States and Germany and only a handful of right-hand drive cars made it to the UK.Performance from the 231bhp, 3164cc flat-six was well up to Porsche's standards with a 0-60mph time of 5.4 seconds and a top speed of over 150mph. Porsche was confident it was now building a powerful, reliable engine for the 911 and, from 1986, was offering a five-year, or 50,000 miles warranty. The Speedster was the last 911 model built on the basic bodyshell of the original, 1963 911 and the final 911 produced at the old Zuffenhausen factory as the 964 that followed was built on an all-new production line.This example is one of those very rare UK right-hand drive cars and has covered just 8,163 miles from new. Supplied new by AFN Porsche London, it was first registered on 1st August 1989 and has been enjoyed by three previous owners. A full service history is supplied with 15 stamps in the original service book, the most recent of which was carried out in 2014 at 8,011 miles, however, a major service was carried out by Geo Morrison Motors in Glasgow in 2013 at a cost of £1,808. Offered with its original handbooks and leather wallet and a large number of previous MOT Certificates which corroborate the tiny mileage. Evidently, this Speedster has been cherished and stored correctly all of its life. Described by the vendor as being presented in stunning order, this Speedster is finished in the classic 1980s colour combination of Guards Red with a Cream leather interior. The bodywork and paint are in superb condition, as one would expect for such a low mileage example, and the interior has been preserved in simply faultless condition.The 1989 Speedsters were a faithful successor to the original 356 Speedsters and consequently, prices have been steadily rising in recent years. This car is one of the very rare, RHD, UK 'Turbo look' cars and represents an exciting opportunity for any Porsche enthusiast. We welcome any inspection on this vehicle and encourage potential buyers to arrange a viewing appointment prior to the auction to appreciate the incredible quality of this tiny-mileage, UK car.This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate.

Sixteen stamps in the service record Complete with all the tools, original AFN number plates, and two sets of keys The 3.2 Carrera is revered as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963. These final cars (before being replaced by the more complicated 964) were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche's original design. Launched in 1984, and reviving the 'Carrera' name for the first time since 1977, these were the ultimate 1980's sports cars. The all-alloy flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, giving a torque-rich 231 bhp - enough to propel the lithe and slippery coupé to over 150 mph, with 0-60 mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. Offered here is 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 that has covered only 20,299 miles and is finished in the classic combination of Guards Red with a black/grey interior. The overall condition of this Carrera is truly exceptional and must be amongst finest original examples available. Supplied new by AFN Limited, the Official Porsche Centre in Isleworth, it remained with its original owner until 2013 before being purchased by our vendor. The service book contains sixteen stamps corroborating the indicated mileage. All the original stickers are still present confirming that it is a UK delivered, Code C16 car optioned with a sunroof. It comes complete with all the tools, original AFN number plates, and two sets of keys.

A left-hand drive, home market, 996 GT3 in Polizei livery. Only 74,105km from new.On offer from the Stuttgart Collection, an homage to the iconic livery of the German PolizeiA standard GT3 with the graphics and lights etc. fitted by its owner355bhp, 3.6-litre engine, communicative chassis, superb brakes, perfect control weighting, precise steeringThe famous Polizei cars were modelled by Corgi Toys and Scalextric74,105km from new. Graphics easily removable leaving a very attractive low mileage GT3Intended primarily for competition, although still fully road legal, the Porsche 911 GT3 can trace its ancestry all the way back through a succession of high-performance models to the legendary 911 Carrera RS of 1973. The car takes its name from the FIA's GT3 category of production sports car racing and has been produced in a variety of versions since its introduction in 1999 when the GT3 badges were applied to the Type 996 iteration of the perennial 911.The 3.6-litre flat-six engine, though, departed from mainstream Type 996 practice by virtue of its water-cooled cylinders, leaving only the heads cooled by air. Called the 'Metzger' engine after its designer, Hans Metzger, this unit was closely related to that of the Porsche 962 'Sports Prototypes' and the 911 GT1 racer. In the GT3 it produced 355bhp, 59 horsepower more than in the standard 996, which was delivered to the wheels through a strengthened gearbox boasting interchangeable ratios. To make the GT3 fit for circuit use, the brakes, suspension, and wheels were uprated to cope with the substantial increase in performance, whilst aerodynamic downforce was enhanced by a larger front air dam and a distinctive rear spoiler.Weight reduction extended to the removal of the rear seats and most of the sound deadening, rear speakers, sunroof, and air conditioning, though the latter could be ordered as an option, as could a CD/radio. In its original Type 996 incarnation, as seen here, the 911 GT3 was produced up to 2006.Offered as part of The Stuttgart Collection, is this homage to the iconic livery of the German Polizei. Police forces around Europe have famously used performance cars as a way of raising the profile and effectiveness of policing road and autobahn rules and the Germans were no exception and made the livery a brand with even Scalextric models being produced along with Corgi models. This particular left-hand drive 996 GT3 was purchased and graphics applied together with lights to emulate the famous police 911s. What began as just a bit of fun actually became a tool for a UK Police Force to promote young driver awareness courtesy of the owner at the time. This GT3 has travelled just 74,105km and could easily have the graphics removed and be returned to a very attractive low mileage Porsche GT3.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

Prior to its arrival, a restoration had been completed to the very highest of standards including a complete body strip to a bare shell. Looking through the accompanying photographs of the rebuild it is clearly evident that the level of fit and finish is a credit to the skill and professionalism of the artisans who completed the project, resulting in one of, if not the best 2.4S available on the market today. All mechanical aspects of the vehicle were also attended to including a thorough engine rebuild, again shown in the photographic record, together with all ancillary components receiving attention along the way. Upon arrival in the UK the new owner proceeded to attend to the interior which had remained original but was not reaching his exacting standards, with that in mind a retrim was recommissioned utilising a pair of recreated Sport R seats which are exactly correct for the year of the car, trimmed to the original specification and fitted by Tonbridge Porsche Centre, now looking resplendent, finally finishing the exacting restoration to a standard rarely achieved. A full carpet set had previously been installed by Autofarm.The car comes complete with its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, Book Pack, numerous invoices and the aforementioned photographic record of the detailed restoration.This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years.

A 'C16' UK-supplied right-hand drive GT2 and only 8,492 miles from newUK supplied 'C16', right-hand drive 996 GT2, with just 8,492 miles from newSuperbly presented in gleaming Basalt Black with black sports seatsExcellent history file including original Porsche book pack with service book and owner manualsMain dealer service history with supporting invoices. MOT valid until 24/06/2021On offer from a significant private collection of landmark Porsche from all eras, a rare opportunity to own the very bestThe GT2 was based on the 996 Turbo, utilising its new 3.6-litre twin-turbo engine, which was directly derived from Porsche's GT1 race car, incorporating many parts that were tried and tested in long-distance racing, giving Porsche its double victory at Le Mans. The engine fitted to the GT2 (designation M96/70 S) utilised the newly introduced 'Variocam Plus' system but had 10% more power than the Turbo, which was achieved by fitting more potent turbochargers, a modified exhaust system and adapted engine electronics. The GT2 also made use of a race-derived gearbox, which was reworked and fitted with the lubrication system of the GT3 RS, plus the addition of a friction-plate limited-slip differential tuned to match the car's ultra-stiff suspension which was 20mm lower than the Turbo to achieve a lowered centre of gravity. Coupled with aluminium monobloc 'Turbo Design' wheels, a larger 89-litre fuel tank, and completely new front panelling to reduce aerodynamic front-lift at high speeds and increase air intake, the GT2 really was a race-car for the road. Naturally, performance was electrifying with a 0-62mph time of just 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 195mph. Supplied new by AFN, Reading and first registered on 13th November 2002 this GT2 had been specified with Basalt Black paintwork and black leather seats.

A 'C16', right-hand drive, 993 RS with only 16,117 miles from newThe 1995 Carrera RS provides some of the most visceral thrills available in a road car3.8-litre flat-6, VarioRam intake and remapped ECU create 300bhp fed to the rear wheelsLarge fixed wing on the back with integrated ram intakes and a deep chin spoilerThe 993 RS was undoubtedly Stuttgart's most pure and refined form of the final generation, air-cooled 911A very special C16, UK supplied right-hand drive with only 16,117 miles from newFinished in black, this very special car has led a noble life having been part of the private collections of the Earl of Mexborough and Lord BamfordWhilst the 964 Carrera RS, that debuted several years earlier, is seen as uncompromisingly hardcore, the 1995 model year benefitted from all the work that had been done developing the new 993 platform. Nearly 80% of the parts were specifically engineered for this next generation and a new alloy subframe served as the base for the redesigned multi-link rear suspension. Generally, this improved stability along with ride quality and reduced the tendency for the car to oversteer off-throttle like the older cars. Along with the other improvements, too quantifiably large to list, Porsche had created the best 911 to date.It would only get better with the arrival of the new RS, much of the focus having been spent on reducing weight. Electric windows, adjustable mirrors, central locking, headlight washers, and audio speakers were all luxuries sacrificed in the name of speed. However, the extensive diet did not stop there. Porsche even went so far as to reduce the size of the windshield washer bottle and decrease the thickness of the glass. Well-bolstered leather bucket seats saved an additional 66lbs and sound insulation was removed throughout the car. Simple door cards with pull straps instead of door handles rounded off the extensive weight-saving measures. The car was powered by a 3746cc, DOHC Flat-6 with the VarioRam intake system and Motronic Engine Management combining to generate 300bhp at 6,500rpm fed to the rear-mounted, 6-speed manual transaxle. Four-wheel independent suspension, disc brakes all round and state of the art aerodynamics offered superb balance and the RS was capable of providing some of the most visceral thrills available in a road car.This, C16, UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 993RS has covered just 16,117 miles from new. Finished in black, this very special car has led an illustrious life, having been part of some significant private collections including the Earl of Mexborough and Lord Bamford. There are 9 stamps in the accompanying service book and the history file includes all the manuals/books, reams of invoices, past MOTs, spare keys and a detailed list of previous owners.This car has formed part of another significant collection for the past few years and in preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate.

Classic British V8 Drophead with the desirable manual gearbox.Restored around five years ago and remaining impressive.Fitted with the desirable manual gearbox and overdriveFinished in gleaming Leyland White with a smart Black vinyl interiorMatching numbers. Engine fully rebuilt. Immaculate engine bayA really superb example of Triumph's innovative designThe market for Stags of this quality has been warming for some timeLike the Triumph 2000, from which it was developed, the Stag was styled by Italian maestro Giovanni Michelotti and featured the monocoque construction, independent suspension, disc/drum brakes, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and driveline of that saloon. The power plant, though, was an all-new OHC, V8 of 3,000cc capacity fed by a pair of Stromberg carburettors. The newcomer received a warm reception at the time of launch in 1970.Offered as part of The Anthony Hamilton Collection, this Triumph Stag is finished in Leyland White with a black vinyl interior and is, without doubt, one of the best examples available. Originally delivered to Leyland dealer, Newbury Motors Ltd on 21st April 1977 and first registered on the 3rd of June fitted with a number of factory options including a Hardtop, Alloy wheels, Sundym windscreen, Overdrive, Inertia-reel safety belts, and headrests.Having been enjoyed by four previous owners, it was decided in 2015 that the car deserved a full restoration and the history file contains a comprehensive photographic record of the process. The engine was totally rebuilt at this time and a photo of the engine number confirms it matches the original registration documentation. The mileage is currently 57,283 which is substantiated by a sales invoice from 1985 at circa 34,000 miles and older MOTs. The history file contains a pristine copy of the original sales brochure.This is a really stunning example, well restored, in a lovely colour combination and fitted with a manual/overdrive gearbox, the most desirable transmission option.

A rare, mid-1957, 3/3A transition car in lovely condition.Rare transition car with factory-fitted TR3 and 3A partsOriginally in left-hand drive and destined for North America finished in Pearl WhiteReturned to the UK in 1995 and was selected in 2003 as an ideal base for a full restorationStripped back to bare metal, converted to right-hand drive and restoredParticular attention was paid to panel gaps and shut linesFully painted in Signal Red and the interior retrimmed in red-piped blackFully detailed engine bay with a chromed rocker cover and polished dashpotsChrome wires, chrome headlight grilles, sill guards, wind-deflectors, wood rim wheelNow presents superbly with the quality of the restoration much in evidenceLong famed for their rugged reliability and idiosyncratic good looks, the 'side screen' TRs have attracted a fanatical following over the years. The final evolution of the Triumph TR2/TR3 sportscar line (save for the American market TR3B), the TR3A was introduced in September 1957. Great fun to drive, its tough box-section chassis featured independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc/drum brakes. (The first British production car to have front disc brakes as standard). Fitted with a 1991cc four-cylinder OHV unit developing around 104bhp and 117lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of 110mph. A great sales success on both sides of the Atlantic, the model provided a rather more visceral alternative to its MG and Jaguar competition.Arriving in 1957, the TR3A was never officially badged as such and was, in fact, a minor revision of the TR3 with updates including a new wide grille, exterior door handles, lockable boot and a full tool kit. Offered here as part of The Anthony Hamilton Collection is a charming Triumph TR3A finished in Signal Red with black trim. The commission number confirms this car was produced in the late summer of 1957 and this was a 'change over' period for Standard-Triumph when many parts from the earlier TR3 were still in stock and were incorporated into the revised TR3A. This explains why this car is fitted with a TR3 front apron with the smaller grille, however, it does have the 3A's external door handles. It was originally in left-hand drive and was destined for the North American market finished in Pearl White. It returned to the UK, we believe, in 1995 and was selected in 2003 as it was a particularly sound, ex-California car, as an ideal base for a full restoration.It was stripped back to bare metal, converted to right-hand drive and restored paying particular attention to panel gaps and shut lines before being fully painted in Signal Red, the interior retrimmed in red-piped black and all the brightwork refinished. The engine bay was fully detailed and is an absolute delight with a chromed rocker cover and polished dashpots. Sitting on a set of new chrome wires and with its chrome headlight grilles, stainless sill guards, wind-deflectors, wood rim wheel and white hood and tonneau, the little Triumph presents superbly with the quality of the restoration much in evidence.The owner's file contains various invoices for service and maintenance keeping this striking TR in the best mechanical condition. No history of British Sports cars would be complete without the venerable TR3 and a rare transition car (3/3A) in this super condition will always be eminently collectable.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

A great practical classic with occasional four seats and the joy that is a big HealeyOriginally left-hand drive and destined for Miami, FloridaRepatriated to the UK in 2012. Fully restored and converted to right-hand driveClassically finished in gleaming British Racing Green, Black tonneauSilver wire wheels, fresh chrome and a chrome luggage rackSmart black leather interior, Wood rim steering wheel. OverdriveHeritage Certificate, US paperwork, details and photos of the restorationIntroduced in 1956 to replace the Austin-Healey 100 (later known as the 100-4), the 100-6 was a two-seat roadster produced by the British Motor Corporation, initially at Longbridge and later at Abingdon, and remained in production until 1959 when it was replaced by the 3000. Over the years, all three models have become known collectively as "The Big Healeys". A couple of inches longer than its predecessor, the Healey 100, the new model was fitted with a more powerful straight-six engine (BMC-C series previously fitted to the Austin Westminster) producing 102bhp which in 1957 was improved to 117bhp. Externally, the car differed by being slightly more streamlined, having a smaller, wider grille, an air scoop on the bonnet and a fixed windscreen. The car was marketed as being more luxurious than its predecessor, however, the luxury was obviously comparative as the 1957 brochure claims "To suit individual needs, there are numerous items of equipment such as a heater, overdrive and wire wheels which can be fitted at extra cost". Another "Wow" factor from the brochure is the availability of "Aluminium framed side-screens which have one fixed and one sliding panel for ventilation or hand signalling" The 100/6's performance was quite exciting for the period, roaring up to 60mph in just over 10 seconds and going on to 104 miles an hour at a time when a Ford Popular would struggle to reach 70mph. This latest Healey was available in two model designations, the 2+2 BN4 from 1956 onwards and 2 seat BN6 in 1958/9 and was listed in 1958 at £1,307 including purchase tax.Amongst Big Healey aficionados, the 100/6 is the one to have in terms of purity. The earlier 100/4s, whilst gorgeous to look at were a bit "agricultural" and are now becoming very expensive whilst the later 3000s were being adorned with more and more creature comforts with the consequential increase in weight. As long as the 100/6 was properly set up with attention to camber and castor and all the other factors in suspension geometry, they handled superbly and were a dream to drive. With the top down, the burble from the exhaust note was a delight in a 1950s, six-cylinder, down a country lane in a black and white movie, sort of way and on the overrun had more 'snap, crackle and pop' than a box of Rice Crispies. Offered here from the Antony Hamilton Collection is an Austin Healey 100-Six 2+2 (BN4) finished in British Racing Green with a black leather interior. The Heritage Certificate confirms that it was destined for the North American market originally finished in Ivory White and delivered to a dealer in Miami, Florida. The specification included wire wheels, overdrive and a heater. It was repatriated to the UK in 2012 when it was fully restored and professionally converted to right-hand drive. The history file contains various receipts and sales invoices from a dealer in Birmingham, Alabama from 1995. There is also a photographic record of the restoration showing the original state and the finished article.This is a great practical classic with occasional four seats and the joy that is a big Healey.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

**Sale Room Announcement** Registration number is 662 XVF not 660 XVF as previously displayed A beautiful Swallow Doretti subject to the finest restorationBuilt by The Swallow Coachbuilding Co. (1935) at The Airport, Walsall, StaffordshireBox-section tube chassis, TR2 mechanicals. 1991cc, OHV, 90bhp, 4-cylinderDoretti production ceased in 1955 after only 276 had been completedSuperbly restored out in Australia by The Classic FactoryInterior restoration and reupholstery were executed by Moore Style in SydneyFinished in metallic Maroon with Tan-piped Oatmeal leather, red carpets and a black soft topQuite a number survive and there is an active Owner's ClubThe Doretti sports car was built at Walsall in Staffordshire by the Swallow Coachbuilding Company (1935) Ltd, which was the part of William Lyons' empire that specialised in building motorcycle sidecars. Somewhat paradoxically, another of Lyons' companies, Swallow Sidecars, made the 'SS' cars that adopted the 'Jaguar' name post-war. Sold by Lyons to Tube Investments after the Second World War, and facing a declining market for sidecars, Swallow used its spare capacity to launch the Doretti sports car in 1954, aimed at the Californian market. The stylish two-seater adopted the Triumph TR2 engine and running gear, which went into a bespoke chassis fabricated from Reynolds 531 tubing and clothed in aluminium outer body panels supplied by Panelcraft. The design was the work of one of TI's engineers, Frank Rainbow, who, working alone, managed to get the Doretti from drawing board to the prototype stage in a mere ten months. Robustly built with a chassis longer and wider than Triumph's TR2, the Doretti handled more securely and had more refinements including a heater and fitted luggage. The 18 strong workforce at Walsall turned out about 5 cars per week. The styling was unashamedly borrowed from the contemporary Ferrari 166MM 'Barchetta' and the name 'Doretti' was an Italian derivation of the first name of Dorothy Dean, a California Triumph distributor.Offering 100mph performance at a relatively bargain price, (although more expensive than the TR2), the Doretti sold well in California where its hand-built exclusivity had much appeal. More than half of the total production went for export. One of its chief rivals was the Jaguar XK120, consequently, Lyons was not best pleased and pressured TI to axe the Doretti, threatening to look elsewhere for the components they supplied to Jaguar. TI complied and the Doretti ceased production in 1955 after only 276 had been completed. Testimony to the build quality and the discerning nature of the original customer base is the high survival rate of the marque and model.Offered here from The Anthony Hamilton Collection, a Doretti enthusiast for several years, is a beautifully restored example of the car that rattled Jaguar in the fifties. It's finished to an excellent standard in a stunning shade of Maroon with Tan-piped Oatmeal leather, red carpets and a black soft top. The history file contains a dating certificate from the TR Register confirming the chassis number satisfies as being built by The Swallow Coachbuilding Co. (1935) at The Airport, Walsall, Staffordshire, England.The restoration to a very exacting standard was carried out in Australia by The Classic Factory, a well-respected restorer in Smithfield, Sydney, New South Wales. Their website carries photographs of the Doretti in various stages of preparation for the final finish. Their specialities include the pre-preparation of alloy bodies, as with Dorettis, the bodies were a masterclass in alloy by Panelcraft. The interior restoration and reupholstery were executed by Moore Style in Sydney incorporating the fine stitching detail synonymous with the marque.This rare, fast and superbly presented fifties British sports car would be welcome at any event and with a fascinating story to tell.

One of the most stylish modern GT cars ever manufactured.Introduced in 2003 and developed jointly with the McLaren Technology CentrePowered by a hand-built 5.4-litre, supercharged all-aluminium V8 producing 617bhp/575lb.ftAMG Speedshift R five-speed automatic transmission with three manual modesJust less than 11,000 miles from new. Recent SLR-specialist service and MOTSuperbly presented in Designo Black Metallic with a red-stitched black Alcantara interiorOn offer from a significant private collection with a close relationship with Mercedes and McLarenManufactured between 2003 and 2010, their new supercar allowed Mercedes-Benz and its then Formula 1 partner, McLaren, to showcase their collective experience in the development, construction and production of high-performance sports cars and, just like its legendary 300 SLR predecessor of 1955, it incorporated technological developments that were ahead of their time. Yet the term 'supercar' does not do full justice to the SLR, which, its peerless performance notwithstanding, is a luxurious and finely engineered Gran Turismo in the best traditions of Mercedes-Benz. Rather than creating an all-out, no-compromise supercar, Mercedes-Benz and McLaren decided to take a slightly different route. Instead of placing the engine behind the cabin, the car had a front-mid-engine layout, with the engine sitting behind the front wheels and just ahead of the cabin. This, near-perfect, weight distribution not only helped to improve the SLR's handling but also provided the car with a rather spacious cabin and a decent boot, not common in cars boasting such performance credentials. As it was supremely engineered and built to incredible standards at McLaren's facilities in Woking, it boasted a very high level of fit and finish, absolutely appropriate for any car wearing a Mercedes-Benz badge.The heart of any car is its engine, and that of the SLR McLaren is truly outstanding. Produced at Mercedes-Benz's AMG Performance Division, it's a 5.5-litre, 24-valve, supercharged V8 producing 617bhp, making it one of the most powerful engines ever found in a series-produced road-going sports car. Impressive though this peak horsepower figure is, it's the torque produced by the Lysholm-type twin-screw supercharger that is its most remarkable feature. The torque curve is almost flat: there is already 440lb/ft by 1,500 rpm and well over 500lb/ft between 3,000 and 5,000 revs, and acceleration is equally phenomenal, with 0 to 60 mph taking just 3.8 seconds and the quarter-mile only 11 seconds. Of course, a car with such impressive speed credentials also requires an equally impressive braking system. An automatic airbrake and Mercedes-Benz's Sensotronic "brake by wire" system assist the massive carbon-ceramic disc brakes and help bring the SLR McLaren down from 120 mph to a stop in less than 240 feet.Of course, it's only right that the Anthony Hamilton Collection included a McLaren so synonymous with the name and four successful F1 years with the marque and, looking very much the part, this left-hand-drive example is finished in Designo Black Metallic with a red-stitched black Alcantara interior.The owner's file indicates it was serviced in 2013 at 8,995 miles by Mercedes-Benz Brooklands and has recently been MOT'd and serviced by an SLR specialist. The current mileage is approximately 10,990. A rare collaboration between two iconic powerhouse manufacturers coupled with ultra-low production numbers and insane performance figures, Mercedes-Benz SLR McLarens represent incredible value in today's market and are sure to be coveted by future generations. An excellent opportunity to acquire a superb example with interesting motorsport provenance.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

A superbly restored C1 "Fuelie" Corvette. Seriously coolSt Louis-built in early 1957. Fitted with a 283bhp, 4.6-litre V8 and manual gearboxRestored in 1996 by the world-renowned Glen Vaughn Restorations from Post Falls, IdahoFinished in Onyx Black with a fabulous bright red interior, the whole car is spectacularAll major components are 'year-correct' stamped in accordance with 1957 factory numberingThis Corvette is one of the most exacting and best restorations Silverstone Auctions has ever seenChevrolet pulled something amazing out of the hat for 1957: fuel injection. First trialled in 1956 at Sebring, the Rochester Ramjet injection was a response to Mercedes-Benz, which featured fuel-injection in the 1954 300SL. The innovation solved a fuel starvation problem caused by fuel moving to one side of the float chamber when cornering hard and allowing air into the system. Not a problem on the road as it was almost impossible to maintain the prolonged lateral forces generated by race conditions. The fuel injection system also enabled Chevrolet to gain bragging-rights by achieving, for the first time in a standard road car, 1 hp per cubic inch of displacement with their 283 cu.inch,/ 283 hp engine.To keep this development in perspective, consider this; almost all of the high-priced, supposedly advanced competition, including Jaguar, Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini, did not utilise fuel injection until the 1970s or later in their road cars. At $484.20, this one option added over 15% to the price of an entire Corvette. Buyers found it irresistible, however, with 1,040 ticking the box on the order form in '57. Current Corvette enthusiasts would acknowledge that in terms of desirability, there is a premium for a "Fuelie" (as they are often called), compared to their more mundane carburetted cousins.This fabulous example was built in the St. Louis Missouri plant in late February 1957 fitted with the 283bhp, 4.6-litre V8 and three-speed manual transmission. The car was restored in 1996 by Glen Vaughn Restorations, a world-renowned top-end business in Post Falls Idaho, who have a reputation for carrying out the whole process in house and only outsource really specialised components. Now finished in gleaming Onyx Black with an immaculate Bright Red interior, the quality of the restoration is evident by the fact that the Corvette remains at a 'Concours' level of presentation. Without a doubt, this Corvette is one of the most exacting and best restorations Silverstone Auctions has ever seen. It's just beautiful and is totally year-correct with every component from the engine, gearbox, back axle etc. being correctly numbered as from the factory. Everything, right down to the unique distributor and coil is correct and the build quality is almost beyond comparison.This stunning Corvette would grace any world event and is simply a beautiful piece of automotive history to drive and enjoy. Early Corvettes are becoming seriously cool and this lovely example, in this colour combination, and in this condition is verging on 'Polar'.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

A fabulous example of Ford's inimitable 'GT' and only 43 miles from new. Unrepeatable!Assembled in Wixom, Michigan in January 2006 and finished in Mk IV Red Clearcoat550bhp, 5.4-litre, dual overhead camshaft, electronic fuel injection, supercharged, V8Fitted with active safety belts, airbags, optional forged BBS wheels and racing stripesUS-supplied and unregistered with just 43 milesThis rare GT is worthy of a place in any collectors stable and should not be missed at today's guideThe Ford GT began life as a concept car designed in anticipation of the carmaker's centennial year and as part of its drive to showcase and revive its heritage models such as the Mustang and Thunderbird. At the 2002 North American International Auto Show, Ford unveiled a new GT40 concept car. Camilo Pardo, the then head of Ford's Living Legends studio, is credited as the chief designer of the GT and worked under the guidance of J Mays and Carroll Shelby, the original designer of the Shelby GT500, was brought in by Ford to help develop the GT including performance testing of the prototype.The GT is similar in outward appearance to the original GT40 but is bigger, wider, and most importantly four in (100 mm) taller than the original's 40 in (100 cm) overall height; as a result, a potential name for the car was the GT44. Although the cars are visually related, structurally, there is no similarity between the modern GT and the 1960's GT40 that inspired it. Three pre-production cars were shown to the public in 2003 as part of Ford's centenary celebrations, and delivery of the production version, simply called the Ford GT, began in the Autumn of 2004.The ultra-high performance Ford GT showcases the finest in advanced technologies, constructed on a lightweight aluminium chassis clothed in superplastic-formed lightweight composite and aluminium body panels. Powered by a mid-mounted, hand-built, supercharged quad-cam 550bhp V8 engine mated to a 6-speed manual transaxle and featuring racing-derived suspension and braking systems, the GT is hugely powerful and delivers astounding performance. It can accelerate from 0-60 in about 3.5 seconds, hurtling on to some 205mph before the speed limiter kicks in. When production ceased in 2006, with just over 4,000 Ford GTs produced, 101 were delivered new to Europe and only a handful to other markets, this epic Ford had made its mark on automotive history once again - and became an instant collector's car.From its VIN number, we can tell that the car on offer today was assembled in Wixom, Michigan during January 2006. It was specified with active safety belts and driver and passenger airbags and was powered by a 5.4-litre, dual overhead camshaft, electronic fuel injection, supercharged, V8. It left the factory finished in 'Mk IV Red Clearcoat' with a Centennial White stripe and an Ebony interior bound for distributor Autofair Ford Inc. of Manchester, New Hampshire prior to being dispatched to its first lucky owner in Madrid.In 2014, it was imported into the UK and the history file contains the NOVA, making UK-registration a formality if required with all taxes paid. It was purchased from David Jones', dedicated Ford GT specialist, GT101 Ltd. by our vendor and, at the time of cataloguing had covered just 43 miles.

A superbly restored Twin Cam Roadster that would be welcome anywhere.One of only 2,111 MGA Twin Cams produced1588cc with a light-alloy head producing 108bhp at 6,700rpmDespatched in late December 1958 to Northern America in left-hand driveReturned home in 2014. Superbly restored and converted to right-hand driveVery smart in gleaming BMC Black with a classic red leather interiorGood history file with a full photographic account of the restorationCoaxing more power from the standard MGA engine was becoming increasingly difficult, so MG concentrated on developing a twin-overhead-camshaft cylinder head for the B-Series block. Conceived at Cowley by BMC engineer Gerald Palmer and introduced in 1958, the new 1,588cc engine did not disappoint. It featured a special light alloy cross-flow cylinder head with hemispherical combustion chambers and carried twin overhead camshafts with valve operation via Coventry Climax-style inverted bucket tappets, producing an impressive 108bhp at 6,700rpm. Considerably faster than the standard MGA, the Twin Cam could comfortably exceed 110mph, and to cope with the increased performance Dunlop disc brakes were fitted all round and Dunlop centre-lock wheels were a distinctive addition. The only other visual identifier was the script 'Twin Cam' near the vent aside the bonnet. A high price and an unjustified reputation for unreliability discouraged sales and the model was dropped after just two years. Production totalled 2,111 cars, a mere 360 of which were sold on the home market, and today the Twin-Cam is one of the most sought-after of post-war MG sports cars. Offered here is undoubtedly one the finest restored MGA Twin Cams available anywhere today. Finished in what can only be described as the most stunning combination of Black coachwork (BMC code BKI) with a red leather interior. It was despatched on 30/12/1958 to Northern America in left-hand drive finished in black with a green interior with the factory options of disc wheels and heater. It returned to the UK in 2014 when a full restoration was started by the new owner and converted to right-hand drive. The history file contains a full photographic account of the restoration accompanied by all the invoices and details of the specialised engine parts. The result is a spectacular Twin-Cam Roadster that fires up instantly with a pleasing raspy engine note and performs impeccably.We cannot eulogise enough about the quality of this stunning MGA Twin Cam that would be admired at any event in the world. These rare cars are now recognised as real classics that drive very well and deservedly have a niche in the MG history book. This lovely example is now ready to begin the next chapter of its life.

The best we have ever seenOffered from the Anthony Hamilton Collection is, without doubt, one the finest TR3As available anywhere today and a past Autoglym Gold Champion in the nineties. It was re-imported from California in 1988 with the intension of creating the ultimate Concours-winning Triumph TR3A and that appears to have been the result.The Northern TR Centre were entrusted with the car's restoration, ideally using as many of the original parts as possible. It was converted to right-hand drive and the chassis was fully restored and refinished in two-pack gloss black to a very high standard. The engine was fully rebuilt including new liners and pistons and the crank reground. The immaculate paint finish is Dark Racing Green, the interior has been superbly retrimmed in BRG-piped Stone leather with matching carpets and all the instruments were rebuilt. The engine bay is immaculate, almost showroom fresh and the silver-painted, sixty-spoke wires are wearing a decent set of Michelin 155/15 tyres.The quality of this restoration is remarkable and this benchmark 3A features in Bill Piggott's book, "The Original TR2, 3 & 3A".

Top-spec Wood & Pickett 'Margrave' 1275S with a Harold Radford 'Hatchback'.No London-based celebrity would be seen without a Radford or a W&P Mini in the sixtiesIn 1965, Radford introduced the Mini de Ville GT which had the option of a hatchback with a folding rear seatThis remarkable example is W&P commissioned Cooper 1275S that moved across the road to Radfords to be fitted from new with a Mini de Ville hatchbackThe history file contains original build specifications from W & P and a ticked personalisation listThe extras on this list came to £3,487.50 (in 1971 a brand new Ford Cortina was £968.00)48,372 miles, and four owners from new, the first for 27 yearsStill presenting really well, it's worth booking an appointment to view this remarkable little carSynonymous with the Mini badge, Wood & Pickett had been converting, tuning and supplying parts for Minis since the 1960s. Proprietors and founders, Bill Wood and Les Pickett mastered their craft at Hooper & Co Ltd. in London before joining forces and setting up their own company in 1947. Spotting a gap in the market, they were determined to offer Mini conversions better than that of leading rival Radford and the 'Margrave' Mini was their first offering, featuring a distinctive leather & walnut fascia panel, leather or Dralon seating and front and rear nudge bars, to which customers were invited to add from a long list of individually-priced options.The aforementioned 'Radford' was, in fact, Harold Radford, a successful South London coachbuilder, known for his work on Bentleys and Rolls-Royce, who formed a separate company creating bespoke bodywork and interior conversions for the Mini range, culminating in the celebrity-acclaimed Mini-de-Ville. In October 1965, Radford developed the Mini de Ville GT and amongst the options was the availability of a hatchback with a folding rear seat.In 1960s London, the Mini was the epitome of cool. When you are in one of the world's best rock/pop groups, and you can have anything in the world, the ultimate toy for around town was a coachbuilt Radford Mini Cooper. All four of the Beatles had one as did Mike Nesmith from the Monkees, Ginger Baker from Cream, George Best, Peter Sellers and Britt Ekland. However, in the end, W & P produced more modified Minis than Radford with customers including Elton John, Denny Laine, Mick Jagger, Paul and Linda McCartney, Hayley Mills and Twiggy.Offered here from the Anthony Hamilton Collection, a life-long Mini enthusiast, is an exceptionally rare derivative. It's an unusual car as it was ordered new from Wood and Pickett and unbelievably, considering the fierce rivalry between W&P and Radford in the early years, was specified with a Mini-de Ville hatchback by Radford. However, as we all know, time is a great healer and Radford and W&P started to work together. The brand new car was delivered to Radford for the hatchback to be fitted and trolleyed across Abbey Road, Park Royal to be finished by W&P.Possibly unique, but definitely fascinating, is the original "Personalise your Mini with Wood & Pickett Conversions" quote. It runs to six pages and 92 options and the lucky person who purchased this particular 1275 has ticked most of them in a ball-point pen. It makes really interesting reading and is part of social history when you consider that the final amount totalled £3,487.50 which, at the time, would have bought you three and a half Ford Cortinas or a couple of terrace houses in Bradford.Registered as 4 JEA, this car was enjoyed by its first owner for 27 years with three subsequent keepers. Old MOTs in the file run from 21/11/77 @ 18,193 miles through to 17/09/2012 @ 48,303 miles. The Mini was part of the remarkable James Hull Collection before joining Anthony Hamilton. The history file contains everything that is relevant to this 'groovy' Wood & Pickett Mini even down to an unused WP key fob and tax disc holder. This was almost certainly one of the last examples to leave the Abbey Road, Park Royal, Wood & Pickett premises in 1971, however, it remains in lovely condition and will be a real conversation-starter anywhere.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

'Old Money' and proud of it, the supremely elegant TD21.An elegant, matching numbers TD21. Understated and quintessentially AlvisFirst registered in Jersey in 1959 covering relatively few miles early on in its lifeSubject to a ground-up/chassis-off body restoration in 1998 that cost in excess of £30,000Now finished in a lovely Deep Blue with blue-piped cream leather and silver wire wheelsMore recently the engine was rebuilt by Fields Engine Services, new radiator, lead-free conversionEntire electrical system replaced. All hydraulics and the braking system overhauledA genuine car that will need some minor recommissioning prior to useThe TD21 was conceived in 1956 and was quite a departure from the lovely, but rather 'post-war' TC21 however, on its arrival in dealer's showrooms, it quickly set about changing established views of the Alvis. Following the loss of coachbuilders Mulliner and Tickford (who were now tied to other companies), Alvis turned to the Swiss coachbuilder, Graber whose tradition of producing sleek, modern and very elegant saloons and dropheads proved a good fit in terms of the way Alvis saw their future. Graber first presented this new style to the Alvis board in late 1957 who were very impressed with the Swiss company's flowing design and commissioned the body to be built on the new TD chassis. To ease logistical problems, Park Ward of London, built the Graber designed bodies in the UK.The Alvis Three Litre TD21 Series I was produced between the end of 1958 and April 1962 and was powered by the TC's 2993 cc engine, uprated by 15bhp to 115 as a result of an improved cylinder head design and an increased compression ratio. A new four-speed gearbox from the Austin-Healey 100/6 was incorporated, whilst the suspension remained similar to the car's predecessor, independent at the front using coil springs and leaf springs at the rear, but the track was increased slightly and a front anti-roll bar added. From 1959 the all drum brake set up was changed to discs at the front retaining drums at the rear. This particular car was first registered in Jersey in 1959 and the history file reveals it covered relatively few miles early on in its life. By 1998 it needed a ground-up/chassis off body restoration costing in excess of £30,000 at the time! (all pictures available on file). Since then a rolling programme of maintenance has kept the car in good order until becoming part of the Anthony Hamilton Collection from which it is offered today. This maintenance over the intervening 25 years has included a complete engine rebuild by Fields Engine Services with a new radiator and lead-free conversion of the cylinder head. The rear springs have been replaced and the front suspension rebuilt. The entire electrical system has been replaced as well as all hydraulics and the braking system overhauled. Today it presents well and will need some minor recommissioning prior to use, but offers the basis of a genuine car today that will once again be a pleasure for someone to own and enjoy. It is after all an Alvis ~ which is a very special and traditional British experience.

An evocative piece of Triumph TR history that has been saved for posterity.A right-hand drive, press launch TR8 Convertible with 124 miles from new.A rare survivor of the mass disposal of Triumph TR assets in 1981/1982Purchased through a British Leyland dealer by a 'friend of a friend' and spirited awayFinished in striking Pharaoh Gold with a tan leather and plaid interiorEffectively delivery mileage and carefully stored sinceThe TR6 that was replaced in 1975 by the four-cylinder TR7 was, without doubt, a flawed and old-fashioned design, however, it did maintain a heritage of open-topped TRs that originated in the early 1950s. Its demise came at a time when cutting costs and component sharing were the driving force behind Leyland product planning, leading enthusiasts to fear for the future of their once-proud brand.Yet, waiting in the wings but delayed by constant strikes, lockouts, bickering, and bloody-mindedness was a V8 version of the TR7 that would make its appearance more than three years after the four-cylinder. A batch of 150 cars carrying the 'TR7 V8' designation had been built during 1977 but one of Leyland's now-legendary strikes ended the attempt to bring the model to market for 1978. Two years on and after shifting production to the Rover plant at Solihull, North American buyers were finally granted their first glimpse of a Triumph sports car that offered some serious performance attributes. Its tenure, sadly, was destined to be short-lived.The TR8 that appeared on the North American market in July 1979 used the all-alloy 3.5-litre V8 engine that had been powering Rovers since 1966. Most of the initial build cars came with dual Zenith Stromberg carburettors - only those sold into emission-conscious California using fuel injection from the outset. Early TR8s were only available in Coupe form - the much-admired convertible not reaching the market until October of their introductory year.Features of the production TR8s included standard power steering and a five-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. The wedge-effect styling wasn't to everyone's taste and the trim in very '70s tartan-insert cloth dated even faster than the sheet metal, however, interior space and overall practicality were high on the list of positive attributes.All but around 300 of the TR8s made were convertibles reflecting the preference of US buyers for open-top sports cars - especially since their domestic manufacturers had virtually forsaken the soft-top - but also to maximise the viability of the open-top TR7.Offered here is a fabulous part of the Triumph TR story in the shape of an unregistered TR8 with just 124 miles from new. British Leyland had finally decided to introduce the TR8 to the UK and European markets in November 1981 and had assembled just fourteen right-hand drive cars at the Lode Lane Solihull plant some weeks before. These cars went to the press shop at the Triumph works in Canley Coventry for final preparation, detailing etc. prior to the press launch. However, chaos continued to rule at BL and the management picked this moment to cancel the whole TR range and plans to build the TR8 in any volume were scrapped. The order was subsequently given by senior British Leyland management to clear all vehicle stocks which included the fourteen un-registered and unsold TR8s languishing at Canley.Happily, this particular car was spared from the impending disposal and was purchased by its first owner 'out of the back door' having been tipped off by a BL director friend and the sale was channelled through a British Leyland dealer. The history file contains the original V55/4.The car is finished in striking Pharaoh Gold with a Tan and plaid interior and remains in a condition commensurate with its 124 miles. This special performance TR convertible is a very evocative piece of Triumph history that has been saved for posterity.

**Sale Room Announcement** Registration number is 660 XVF not 662 XVF as previously displayedRare and beautiful, the Doretti combines practical TR2 mechanics with Italianate elegance.Built by The Swallow Coachbuilding Co. (1935) at The Airport, Walsall, StaffordshireBox-section tube chassis, TR2 mechanicals. 1991cc, OHV, 90bhp, 4-cylinderDoretti production ceased in 1955 after only 276 had been completedSuperbly restored out in Australia by The Classic FactoryInterior restoration and reupholstery were executed by Moore Style in SydneyRoyal Blue metallic with Royal Blue-piped Red leather, red carpets and a dark blue soft topQuite a number survive and there is an active Owner's ClubThe Doretti sports car was built at Walsall in Staffordshire by the Swallow Coachbuilding Company (1935) Ltd, which was the part of William Lyons' empire that specialised in building motorcycle sidecars. Somewhat paradoxically, another of Lyons' companies, Swallow Sidecars, made the 'SS' cars that adopted the 'Jaguar' name post-war. Sold by Lyons to Tube Investments after the Second World War, and facing a declining market for sidecars, Swallow used its spare capacity to launch the Doretti sports car in 1954, aimed at the Californian market. The stylish two-seater adopted the Triumph TR2 engine and running gear, which went into a bespoke chassis fabricated from Reynolds 531 tubing and clothed in aluminium outer body panels supplied by Panelcraft. The design was the work of one of TI's engineers, Frank Rainbow, who, working alone, managed to get the Doretti from drawing board to the prototype stage in a mere ten months. Robustly built with a chassis longer and wider than Triumph's TR2, the Doretti handled more securely and had more refinements including a heater and fitted luggage. The 18 strong workforce at Walsall turned out about 5 cars per week. The styling was unashamedly borrowed from the contemporary Ferrari 166MM 'Barchetta' and the name 'Doretti' was an Italian derivation of the first name of Dorothy Dean, a California Triumph distributor. Offering 100mph performance at a relatively bargain price, (although more expensive than the TR2), the Doretti sold well in California where its hand-built exclusivity had much appeal. More than half of the total production went for export. One of its chief rivals was the Jaguar XK120, consequently, Lyons was not best pleased and pressured TI to axe the Doretti, threatening to look elsewhere for the components they supplied to Jaguar. TI complied and the Doretti ceased production in 1955 after only 276 had been completed. Testimony to the build quality and the discerning nature of the original customer base is the high survival rate of the marque and model.Offered here from The Anthony Hamilton Collection, a Doretti enthusiast for several years, is a beautifully restored example of the car that rattled Jaguar in the fifties. It's finished to an excellent standard in a simply stunning shade of Royal Blue metallic with the seating in Royal Blue-piped Red leather, red carpets and a dark blue soft top. The history file contains a dating certificate from the TR Register confirming the chassis number satisfies as being built by The Swallow Coachbuilding Co. (1935) at The Airport, Walsall, Staffordshire, England. The indicated mileage is 92,445 but, with a car restored to this standard, it's a bit academic.The restoration to a very exacting standard was carried out in Australia by The Classic Factory, a well-respected restorer in Smithfield, Sydney, New South Wales and their website carries photographs of the Doretti in various stages of preparation for the final finish. Their specialities include the pre-preparation of alloy bodies, as with Dorettis, the bodies were a masterclass in alloy by Panelcraft. The interior restoration and reupholstery were executed by Moore Style in Sydney incorporating the fine stitching detail synonymous with the marque.This rare, fast and superbly presented fifties British sports car would be welcome anywhere and with a fascinating story to tell.You can now book a one-to-one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

One of only seven, Freddie March-designed, Wolsley Hornet Specials.Based on Wolseley's redesigned and extended 1930 Morris Minor chassisPowered by a 1271cc overhead-camshaft, twin-carb, six-cylinder engineFitted with a John Charles of Kew bespoke body designed by Freddie MarchSubject to a full, no expense spared, restoration including an engine rebuildSuperbly restored, delightfully presented and real provenanceAlthough its image in later years became ever more difficult to distinguish from that of other makes within the British Motor Corporation, in the early 1930s Wolseley occupied the front rank of British sports cars alongside MG, Riley and Frazer Nash. The single model responsible was the Wolseley Hornet.Introduced in 1930, the Hornet saloon deployed Wolseley's 1271cc overhead-camshaft, six-cylinder engine in a lengthened Morris Minor chassis equipped with hydraulic brakes. Its power-to-weight ratio was exceptional amongst contemporary 1.3-litre cars, the smooth and flexible six pulling from walking pace to more than 60mph. The model was revised for 1932 with a shortened, chain-driven overhead-cam engine (repositioned further forward to improve cabin space) and a four-speed 'silent third' gearbox.Increased performance was offered by the Hornet Special chassis, which came with 12" hydraulic brakes and remote-control gearchange. The Special used the shortened engine equipped with twin-carburettors and an oil cooler, in which form it produced 45bhp, good enough for a top speed, depending on coachwork, of around 75mph. The Special chassis rapidly became that of choice for the multitude of independent coachbuilders already using the Hornet as the basis for a sporting two-seater.The Hornet Special was soon making its mark in competitions, one noteworthy achievement being the victory achieved by a team of three Eustace Watkins-bodied Hornets (two EW Daytonas on the Special chassis, one EW International on the standard chassis) in the 1932 relay race at Brooklands at an average speed of 77.57mph.Kevill-Davis and March Ltd. of Bruton Street, Mayfair marketed a number of Wolseley Hornet 'specials' from early 1932 onwards and one of the most successful was a pretty little open two-seater, as we have here, with a body supplied by the coachbuilder John Charles of Kew to a design by Freddie March. There is a strong claim that these March-designed bodies were the first to feature fully swept front wings, a styling cue that was to become a design hallmark of British thirties sports carsOffered here from The Anthony Hamilton collection, a Hornet enthusiast himself, is a beautifully presented example of one of the seven March-bodied 'Specials'. This fabulous little car has been subject to a full, no expense spared, restoration including an engine overhaul with the larger stud modification. The engine bay is an absolute delight with vitreous enamelled manifolds, fully rebuilt carburettors, a chromed rocker cover and new wiring loom. Every part was either properly refurbished or replaced. The small cockpit (by today's standards) is dominated by a large sprung Bluemels steering wheel and a 100mph speedometer and a 6,000 rpm tachometer (both a tad optimistic for 1932) feature prominently. There is a small brass plate on the dash displaying Kevill-Davies and March. The rest of the car appears to have been restored to the same standard and the overall result is a very striking Hornet with a beautiful raspy engine note only available from a small capacity six-cylinder.This is one of the best looking of the 'Hornet Specials' and would have turned a few heads when Frederick Charles Gordon-Lennox, Earl of March and Hugh Somerset Kevill-Davies popped out to lunch in Mayfair in their newly created special. Superbly restored, it will continue to provide all the fun of a Thirties sports car with the added cachet of Lord March and Anthony Hamilton provenance.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

Just 18,000 miles from new. Three former keepersCylinder head rebuild and full service in 2014 at 16,434 miles. Cosseted in a private collection since 2016Ex-Concours contender and at just over 18,000 miles, it remains in remarkable conditionFull and comprehensive service history including a recent serviceOffered directly from the private collection of Jamiroquai frontman, Jay KayThe very appropriate cherished registration number B735 BMW will form part of the saleThe replacement for the 2500/2800/3.0-Series saloons arrived on the market in the middle of a downturn in sales for large cars but, despite a hostile commercial environment, the BMW 7-Series sold very well indeed, remaining in production from 1977 until 1986, and making huge gains over the earlier cars.Some would say that the E23 7-Series was polished, yet less appealing than its predecessor, and in a classic sense that's undoubtedly true - but again, it was an important car in the development of the company. It bristled with up-to-the-second technology such as a check computer, climate control, ABS, driver's airbag and fuel injection in the top models, but some of the driving immediacy of the E3 was lost thanks to ballooning dimensions. Treated to a mid-life facelift in 1983 that standardised engine management and improved efficiency and driveability, but it still lacked warmth. Despite this, the 7-Series matured into an excellent luxury saloon with these later cars, as we have here, proving to be devastating all-rounders.This remarkable car was supplied by BMW Dealer, Wolverhampton Motor Services, in June 1995 to a local Business Director, Eric Roberts of Montfort Road, Walsall finished in Reseda Green and specified with central locking, electrically operated seats and windows, air conditioning, cruise control, and window blinds. He continued to have it maintained by them for many years as shown in the original service book and it remained within the family, lightly used, until 2014 when purchased by another local family in Kidderminster. At this point, the services of Autobahn in Halesowen were engaged to carry out a full service and inspection, the result of which culminated in a cylinder head rebuild with new gaskets. According to the relevant invoice, the indicated mileage was 16,434 at this point.In 2016, it was purchased as part of a private collection and the MOT of January that year documents the mileage at still just 17,950. A BMW Car Club Concours 'Masterclass' judging sheet can also be found within the history file with an impressive score of 766 out of 890 and, ironically, the car was judged down slightly in the Bonus Points section due to its low mileage!!. Also in the file is a dealership 'point of sale' display, thought to be from 2016, which reads "B155 SHA was originally purchased in 1985 from these very premises previously trading as Wolverhampton Motor Services. Purchased as an executive directors car, it has remained in the ownership of a local family until recently when the current owner was no longer able to drive. It has covered just 17,800 miles from new and is totally original inside and out even down to the TRX tyres. It is completely rust free and has never had any paint or bodywork carried out during its 31 years."The accompanying owner's file contains the original book pack, stamped service book, a selection of invoices and MOTs, and the original sales brochures and booklets.

One of only 49 UK cars, and probably the best available.One of only 49 UK C16 spec cars and only two owners from newAn incredible, warranted 7,037 miles from new with a full service historyFinished in Guards Red, the most traditional and arguably best colourTotally original factory paintwork. Original engine, gearbox, and mechanical componentsBack in 1995/1996, only 49 people were lucky enough to get their hands on, what has become over time, the spiritual successor to the original 2.7 Carrera RS. It was an amazing car, not least because it was effectively their first car for the now-famous "Carrera Cup" racing series, fitted with road tyres!So it was both lightweight and powerful, with a very spartan stripped out cockpit and seriously track-focused suspension and brakes. Lacking any sound deadening it fed back to the driver every aspect of the road. A famous journalist commented at the time "not only would you instantly know if you accidentally ran over a frog, but you would also be able to tell what sex it was!!"This extremely rare, C16 UK-car was supplied in Guards Red with black upholstery and has had only one owner prior to our vendor. Confirmed by a Porsche GB technician - it retains totally original factory paintwork, and it also retains all the original engine, gearbox, mechanical and body components. Having covered just over 7,000 miles from new it is as near to a new car as you are ever likely to get.Owned by our private vendor-client for the past 11years, it has covered a nominal mileage in that time but still been serviced annually. The history file tells us that it has been SORN'd since 2016, so apart from the annual trip for maintenance, it has just rested in his bespoke facility amongst the others in his amazing collection.This is one for the serious collector and almost certainly unrepeatable at this mileage.

One of believed 30 cars with the AMG Power Pack option fittedSupplied new in Germany in 1989 as one of believed 30 AMG Power Pack-engined cars Just 502 Evolution I were built as homologation cars for the 1990 DTM seasonOnly 117,000km (73,073 miles) warranted and the car presents as it shouldThis rare car spent time in Japan before being registered in the UK in 2016 by our vendorExtensive service history and official paperwork confirming the AMG engineMatching numbers and benefiting from thorough maintenance from new and recently servicedEvos are extremely capable and the factory-fitted AMG engine in this car makes it very special.With the debut of the BMW M3 Sport Evolution, the 190 E's direct competitor, it became obvious that the 2.5-16V model needed a boost in power in order to achieve better performance than its competitor. In March 1989, the 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution debuted at the Geneva Auto Show. The Evo I, as it came to be called, had a new rear spoiler and wider wheel arches. Many changes were made to under-the-skin components such as brakes and suspension. The car featured an adjustable suspension system allowing the ride height to be adjusted from an interior switch. All were intended to allow the Evolution cars to be even more effective around a track.The Evo I's power output is similar to the 202 hp of the "regular" 2.5-16. However, it had a redesigned engine of similar capacity but most importantly, a shorter stroke and bigger bore which would allow for a higher rev limit and improved generation of power. Additional changes stretch to improved rotating mass, improved lubrication system along with improved cam timing. Only 502 units of the Evolution model were produced for homologation in compliance with the DTM rules, all finished in "Blausschwarz" or blue-black metallic with black leather interior. For those customers desiring even more performance, a Power Pack option engineered by AMG was available for DM 18,000. The PowerPack option included improved camshafts, a larger diameter throttle body, more responsive ignition and fuel management system as well as improved intake and exhaust systems. The net result was an increase in power by 30 hp over the standard car bringing the total to 232 hp.This incredibly rare car left the factory straight to AMG who upgraded the engine with the Power Pack option and in 1989 it was supplied by Mercedes-Benz, Duesseldorf to its original German buyer. Spending the first two years of its life in Germany the car was exported to Japan where it resided with a Japanese collector. Our vendor purchased the car in 2016, imported it into the UK and registered it with the DVLA. As a Mercedes-Benz enthusiast, he continued the maintenance and servicing works carried out by previous owners, all of which is documented in the extensive history file.Showing some 117,000km or 73,073 miles, at the time of cataloguing, the car presents exceptionally well. The history file includes the aforementioned service book and a letter from Mercedes-Benz confirming the car's AMG Power Pack option and matching numbers status. Further documentation includes extensive invoices, an MOT certificate valid until September 2020 and a V5c.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

UK-supplied in right-hand drive and a remarkable 992 miles from newA totally focussed Focus, the 300bhp super-hatch that Ford said they would never build2.5-litre, 5-cylinder Turbo, 301bhp, 324lb/ ft, 2-wheel-drive, 0-60 mph in 5.9 seconds, and 160mphFinished in Frozen White with a showroom-standard interior. Lux pack 1 Remarkably preserved for a 10-year-old car, a really superb example The second-generation Focus RS is the Focus that Ford originally claimed they would never build - a limited run 300bhp, 'super-hatch'. But we're delighted they did, and make no apology for being enthusiastic about this remarkable little car with its huge twin-blade spoiler at the back, aggressive body kit, and ballistic performance from the turbocharged 2.5-litre, 5-cylinder engine. Only 11,500 examples were built in a production run that lasted a little over three years, with just 4,000 finding homes in the UK. The RS may not have had four-wheel drive, but a combination of Ford's trick Revo-Knuckle front suspension, a Quaife limited-slip diff, and well-judged ESP did a great job of putting the power down and managing the torque-steer while still providing plenty of involvement. The chassis was stiffened by about 30% and bigger drive shafts, a wider track, lower ride height, and a faster steering rack translated into remarkably civilised road manners. With 301bhp and a massive 324lbs ft available, the RS could hit 60 mph in under 6.0 seconds and topped 160mph, all accompanied by a distinctive five-cylinder warble, plenty of turbo chatter, and even the occasional pop and bang from the exhausts. And when you weren't on a charge, the RS was a polite and practical hatchback capable of returning 25-30mpg, easy to park, offered plenty of boot space, and was reasonably quiet at a constant speed. However, with its gaping grille, 19-inch wheels, flared arches, deep diffuser, and a wing that would embarrass a Porsche Turbo, the RS leaves you in no doubt about its intentions. This particular car has had just one registered keeper from new making it an extremely rare example. At a mileage of just 992, it is barely run-in and offers an incredible opportunity today to own yet another Ford performance icon. It is offered with original service books, handpack and history file. You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

Celebrity provenance, right-hand drive and only 18,935 miles from new.A stunning right-hand-drive example, originally delivered new to Hong KongOnly 30,748 km from new (18,935 miles) accompanied by a great history fileTop speed was within a whisker of 160mph and 60mph arrived in 5.5 secondsFormerly owned by the presenter, businessman and classic car enthusiast, Chris Evans We welcome any inspection of this special Ferrari The Ferrari 328 GTS and GTB made their worldwide debut at the 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show and its styling was an obvious evolution of the Ferrari 308 Series, however, Pininfarina's Leonardo Fioravanti had softened his previous design and it still remained a popular choice with Ferrari aficionados.Under the engine cover is the same transversely-mounted, fuel-injected V8 from the Ferrari 308 Quattrovalvole, with an increase in displacement. By increasing both bore and stroke, the 'quattrovalvole's capacity was raised to 3,186cc which, together with a higher compression ratio, revised pistons, and an improved Marelli engine management system, lifted maximum power to 270bhp at 7,000rpm. Top speed was raised to within a whisker of 160mph (258km/h) and 60mph arrived from a standing start in 5.5 seconds. A significant difference from the 308 is the use of galvanized steel, which greatly reduces potential rust problems compared to its forebear, however, beneath the skin, the tubular steel chassis remained much as before, with all-round independent suspension by double wishbones, four-wheel servo-assisted disc brakes, and aluminium-alloy wheels, though the latter were increased in size. The interior too had come in for some subtle revision and now featured improved instruments, switchgear, and heating.Supplied new through Ferrari Hong Kong in November 1987 as a new right-hand-drive car, it remained there before coming to the UK in May 2003. Every MOT since arriving is present in the comprehensive history file which accompanies this car and all the service history bills and invoices are also present, in English, to confirm the total mileage of the car at 30,748km which equates to 18,935 miles from new.Previously owned by well-known petrol head and TV presenter, Chris Evans, he used his own mechanic to last service the car in 2017 (including new cam belts) and all the work carried out is detailed in the history file. (Chris's engineer is the ex-Ferrari specialist who used to work at Hoyle-Fox Classics who had previously maintained the car on behalf of the owner prior to Chris).It's presented in immaculate condition and has clearly benefitted from thorough and professional maintenance throughout its life. This is a great opportunity to own a very useable classic 328 GTS Ferrari that has been superbly maintained and drives extremely well, traditionally finished in Rosso Corsa with Tan leather upholstery.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The voluptuous bodywork, which many people regard as the prettiest ever to grace a road-going Ferrari, was designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti and covered a tubular chassis which carried wishbone independent suspension at each corner. The 190bhp engine, with four overhead camshafts, was mounted transversely behind the driver and in front of the rear axle. Power to the wheels was transmitted via drop gears to the transverse 5-speed gearbox, in unit with the differential and engine sump. With rack and pinion steering and a mid-engined configuration, it was a revelation in terms of road holding and stability, nothing had been made like this before and it left its larger V12-engined siblings in its wake.This was a very modern car and a real step in Ferrari history announcing a new age for Ferrari in concept and design. Sparkling acceleration and a top speed of 145mph combined with a comfortable interior and some usable boot space meant that it was a genuine 'Grand Touring' car.There was an addition to the range in 1972 when the Spider version was introduced. With the exception of the detachable roof there was little difference between the two models, but the 246GTS, as it was designated, has become all the more desirable as a collector's car, particularly as only 1,274 were produced in its three years of production.This magnificent Concours-winning 246GT Spider was first registered on the 18th of May 1973 and remains a two-owners from new example with the current owner having enjoyed it for the last 42 years. A passionate Formula One fan and sports car enthusiast, it was his dream to own a Ferrari and that dream came true in January 1978 when he was able to buy a shiny Dino (at that point in Dino Blue) that was less than five years old from a fellow businessman in Yorkshire.The Ferrari was his pride and joy and was used lightly over the years. He dedicated much time and care to maintaining it to an exceptional standard, however, it is a Ferrari and after 20 years, and having decided to keep the car forever, the time had come for more serious attention.A professional two-year restoration was commenced in 1998 using the services of a number of the areas most knowledgeable experts and marque specialists. The bodywork was completely stripped back to bare metal, corroded panels replaced and joints/seams professionally lead-loaded throughout. The chassis was bead blasted and refinished in satin black along with the suspension components. The car was painted in Argento Metallizzato with such care that the quality of finish subsequently impressed even the most hard-nosed of Concours Judges. It was then carefully reassembled (it was a 2-year restoration) and benefitted from a new windscreen, driver's and passenger door glass, new suspension bushes, window, door and roof seals. Whilst the engine was out, it was rebuilt with new pistons, valves and seats, cylinder heads skimmed, new clutch assembly and all associated gaskets and fixings. It was then popped back into the refurbished engine bay and the process of recommissioning and getting the Ferrari running, stopping and handling correctly began. All of this work with the associated invoices can be inspected in the A4 ring-binder history file that's with the car.Now that the Dino was restored to an immaculate condition, our vendor and his wife decided to try their hand at Ferrari Owners Club Concours and they were rewarded with a First in Class in July 2003. It wasn't entered to Concours in 2004 but was entered again in 2005 and awarded a worthy Third. With the car are the score sheets and supporting correspondence from the Ferrari Owners Club verifying such prestigious achievements.Our vendor continued to enjoy his car and trusted the expertise of the staff at Strasse (Porsche) for ongoing maintenance and care which they carried out to the highest of standards. However, over more recent years, the Ferrari has been in dry storage and hardly used and, in order to prepare it for sale, it has been subject to a thorough recommission, including a full service, cambelt replacement and a fresh MOT. The current indicated mileage is 19,696 from new supported by the detailed history file.This remarkable little car has been part of a caring family for 42 years and it shows. It's simply delightful, in sparkling condition, and now ready for a new custodian and further adventures, be those Ferrari Club Concours or simply stowing the lid and setting off for the Cotswolds on a sunny afternoon. Either way, you will have to be careful, as this may well turn out to be the one car that you want to keep forever.
