Registration No: 565 BOL Chassis No: 630001328 MOT: ExemptOffered with a large history file that includes the buff logbook and the original sales invoiceJust c.77,851 credible miles recordedMOT certificates dating back to 1975 at 47,685 milesLaunched in September 1958, the Rover P5 was conceived to stave off increasingly refined competition from the likes of Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz. Available in Saloon and later Coupe guises - both of which employed four doors - the big Rover was luxuriously-equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc/drum brakes. The initial 3.0 litre OISE straight-six engine was a development of the one used by its P4 stablemate (the production runs of the two models overlapped). Automatic transmission, overdrive on the manual, and Burman power steering were all optional, with overdrive becoming standard from May 1960.Originally supplied to Hatton Motors Ltd, Broad Street, Birmingham, the first keeper was Messrs. S C Bilsby and Co, Tipton on 2nd June 1960, the car stayed within the same family until at least 1970 and within the Birmingham area. Benefitting from a restoration by the previous owner, this P5, presenting in period two-tone paintwork, has been in current ownership since 2017. Displaying some 77,851 credible recorded miles, the mileage can be evidenced by the plethora of MOT certificates dating back to 1975 at 47,685 miles. 'BOL' has been the subject of much improvement in recent years, in addition to the previous restoration work, mechanical work has included many new items that include: the battery, a master cylinder, brake components (both discs and pads), brake servo, wheel bearings, hoses and a stainless-steel exhaust. Other beneficial work has included the original radio having been upgraded to include Bluetooth and phone connectivity. The P5's tool-kits are to be found in the car, with the tool-kit in the boot believed to be the original. There's an original sales invoice from Hatton Motors Ltd and an original sales brochure present. Offered with a large history file that includes the original sales invoice and a further collection of invoices, there's also the original logbook and the current V5C.

The name Ram was first used in 1981 model year Dodge Trucks in October 1980, following the retiring and rebadging of the Dodge D series Pickup trucks as well as B-series vans, though the company had used a ram's-head hood ornament on some trucks as early as 1933. Ram trucks have been named Motor Trend magazine's Truck of the Year eight times; the second-generation Ram won the award in 1994.Finished in White with a Grey cloth interior, 'V797 DFP' was imported into the UK in 2012 and has been known to the vendor since then. A rear-wheel drive 'Dually' variant, the two-wheel each side of the rear axle layout allowed more road contact and width for greater stability, balance, and traction while driving, especially when towing or fitted with a fifth wheel. Powered by a 5.9 Litre I6 Cummins Turbo-Diesel engine mated to manual transmission this Dodge Pickup is fitted with a front Bullbar plus eight front spotlights, as well as two rear reverse/spotlights. Up front seats 3 abreast. Displaying some 113,000 miles it is offered with a current V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: PMX 468K Chassis No: LD109750 MOT: March 2025Finished in British Racing Green with a Beige leather interiorComes with matching factory hardtop and fitted tonneau coverBenefitted from a substantial but sympathetic body renovation in 2016/2017A well maintained example as evidenced by the history fileSpecified with the desirable fitment of a manual transmission from newIntroduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering, and servo-backed disc / drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon in order to fashion the initial prototype), the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. Neatly integrated, the substantial roll-over hoop that joined the B-pillars gained extra strength from a T-bar link to the windscreen frame. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Available with a choice of four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, all but the earliest Stags benefited from both hard and a soft-top roof. Despite being in production for seven years, during which time 25,877 cars were made, a mere 9,500 or so are thought to have survived.First registered on the 24th of February, 1972, this UK-market manual transmission equipped Stag has continuously been well-maintained by its custodians, as evidenced by the accompanying history file. Several invoices dating back to the early 1980s show that no expense has been spared, the previous owner having put the convertible through a full body overhaul and repaint into British Racing Green in 2017, with completion in 2018, which included work to much of the chromework where necessary. Pleasingly, the Triumph retains the original Beige leather interior which is described by the vendor as being in 'very good' condition and the recent fitment of a new hood has improved the car significantly. The current vendor acquired the Stag just after the restoration work in 2018 and immediately set about improving the mechanical condition of the car. He replaced the water pump and hoses, had new brake and clutch master cylinders fitted, replaced the engine mountings and had the front suspension rebuilt and during 2019 the ignition system was treated to an overhaul. Offered with a factory hardtop present, the vendor describes the Stag to be in 'very good condition' all round and purportedly 'it drives very well' with 'a great exhaust sound and no cooling issues detected'. Limited space within the vendor's collection means this '70s icon needs to find a new home. There’s a substantial history file along with the current V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: GX 2487 Chassis No: OH10116 MOT: ExemptA genuine Cozette 'blown' 'low chassis' model supplied new as a fabric-bodied TourerComprehensively restored by well-respected marque aficionado Peter WhenmanAccompanied by a large history file supplied in two full suitcases!Recently subject to magneto, dynamo and starter motor overhauls by Overton EngineeringHaving established its reputation by winning the Moscow - St Petersburg Reliability Trial of 1910 with a 30hp Six, Lagonda concentrated mainly on the production of light cars before reverting to sporting and luxury models in the mid-1920s with the introduction of the 14/60. The latter abandoned the firm's traditional in-unit gearbox in favour of a midships-mounted transmission, but of greater technical interest was the engine. Designed by Arthur Davidson, the 2-Litre Four featured twin camshafts, mounted high in the block, operating inclined valves in hemispherical combustion chambers. Power output of this advanced design was a highly respectable 60bhp. For the 1929 season, a 'low chassis' Speed Model was introduced, featuring revisions to the frame's front end and a higher-compression engine fitted with twin carburettors.The Speed model had resulted from the factory's Le Mans effort of 1928, when the 2-Litre driven by Andre D'Erlanger and Douglas Hawkes had finished 11th overall in the 24-Hour endurance classic. A classic example of racing improving the breed, the 'low chassis' 2-Litre possessed markedly superior handling characteristics courtesy of its lower centre of gravity. In 1930 a supercharged version was introduced, with the 'blower' mounted vertically in front of the engine, which was fitted with a stronger crankshaft, while a 3-Litre rear axle beefed up the transmission. A Powerplus supercharger was specified at first, but most 'blown' 2-Litres came with a Cozette. Thus equipped, a 'low chassis' 2-Litre was capable of up to 90mph.Supplied new to the South East London area on the 18th May 1932, 'GX 2487' was originally specified as a Speed Model with Cozette Supercharger and bodied as a four seat, fabric constructed tourer. Little is known of its early history up to 1953, when a record of ownership started being kept and all owners are traceable from this period until the present day. The rare Lagonda is known to have been exported to Singapore during the 1970s by a member of The Malaysia and Singapore Vintage Car Register with whom it was found in a neglected state (and missing the all important Cozette supercharger) in his possession by the most recent previous owner. After much persuasion, 'GX 2487' was finally bought in 1985 and was to be repatriated to the UK four years later. Once back home in 'Blighty', the Lagonda was entrusted to the late Peter Whenman, the pre-eminent restorer of Vintage Lagondas, for a comprehensive restoration which would be completed in 1994.During the restoration, OH10116 was disassembled to the bare chassis and the body was overhauled with a new ash frame to the original specification and re-covered with new fabric. New cycle wings and a new bonnet were fabricated using traditional methods in aluminium and the interior was entirely reupholstered to original specification in high quality Dark Green hide. Mechanically, the 2-Litre power unit and four-speed gearbox were also given similar treatment, with a new cylinder head supplied by Peter Jones of Wessex Workshops. The all-important supercharger was also reinstated in the form of a replica Cozette unit. A new Black ‘double-duck’ hood and tonneau cover were also supplied and fitted to the original frame with a new set of side screens made especially. Finally, the original Lagonda radiator was treated to a re-core and entirely new 21” wheels were commissioned.After completion, the Lagonda was collected from Hartley Witney and was pressed straight into service, being driven all the way to its new, loving home in the North East of England. Thereafter, ‘GX 2487’ saw its first outing attending the Le Mans 24 Hour race in France in 1995, in the company of other members of the Lagonda Owners Club who were celebrating the 60th anniversary of Lagonda’s Le Mans victory in 1935. The improvements didn’t halt after the restoration, however, and new brake drums from Wessex Workshops were fitted in 1996 (with the original finned brake drums, which were standard on supercharged cars, accompanying the car to sale). Recent works to this 'blown' Vintage Tourer have included a service, magneto overhaul, starter motor overhaul and sump gasket change by Overton engineering in Shoeburyness, Essex, to correct some minor running issues and an oil leak, which were commissioned by the vendor earlier in 2024.'GX 2487' is accompanied by one of the largest history files we have come across (two whole suitcases!) that comprises two voluminous ring binders attesting to the history and restoration work, with a hand-written “costing” document equating to some £70,184 of spend between 1990 and 1994. The files document back to 1954 and also hold correspondence with then Technical Advisor to the Lagonda Club, Ivan Forshaw. The car is today rated by the vendor as ‘excellent’ regarding both its mechanical and cosmetic condition. Now to be offered to the market by the vendor due to needing funds for a business venture, 'GX 2487' could be one of the finest examples of a Speed Model Lagonda in existence today.PLEASE NOTE: After investigation we have established that 'GX 2487' is not fitted with the original engine block, the replacement unit which has been fitted to the car since its restoration is numbered SL 926.

Registration No: XS 4714 Chassis No: GY5703 MOT: ExemptOne of only five known to have survivedFitted with the original hand-made body by Martin-Walter of FolkestoneUnderstood to have had c.£230,000 spent on the extensive restorationOffered from long-term previous ownershipRe-trimmed interior and fitted with a new hoodThe Vauxhall GY 25 was produced between 1937 and 1940. Approximately 6,800 were built during that time period, with the 1939/40 models being used as ambulances and staff cars in the RAF during WWII and is powered by a 25hp 3215cc straight-six engine which is derived from a Chevrolet unit, an engine shared with Vauxhall after it was acquired by GM in 1929. The Wingham Cabriolets were all finished with hand-made bodies by Martin-Walter of Folkestone.One of just five known survivors globally, this 1938 Vauxhall GY 25 Wingham Cabriolet was one of an extremely limited number of cars built on the Vauxhall Big Six chassis. This particular long-wheelbase Wingham Cabriolet only became available in 1938 and features an extended luggage boot, which, according to original promotional material, was “large enough to take suitcases, golf clubs etc.”Built by Vauxhall Motors in July 1938, as certified by Vauxhall Heritage, ‘XS 4714’, a Paisley number, is a very special car indeed – recently returned to the road after what was essentially a 50-year restoration, the last owner began restoring the car in 1973, when he sadly passed away and the restoration stalled. The car has had a fastidiously detailed restoration, which has just been finished off by a well-known and highly respected classic car dealer. All the repair and rectification work had been carried out in stages over the years ‘as and when’ the previous owner’s budget allowed, and to an exacting and diligent standard. The Vauxhall is 'Said' to have superb paint throughout, with no visible dents or damage and excellent brightwork, right down to the accurate Red and Blue Vauxhall badge and the original fluted bonnet, while the chassis is said to be 'Excellent' and the refurbished wheels are also in great order. The seats and door trims have been re-covered in Light Tan leather by Moore’s Classic Car Interiors of Aylsham, Norfolk. The centrepiece of the interior is its beautiful art deco four-dial dash. The quality of the trim is otherwise exceptional – new carpets, neatly retrimmed door cards and a beautiful and highly polished wooden dash. At the rear, the luggage area is spacious and well-equipped, with a new spare wheel cover. From the bespoke wooden cappings to the quirky full-opening chauffeur and bride doors, it’s a machine that truly celebrates the artisan nature of coach-built cars.Mechanically, the Wingham Cabriolet came with a 3.2-litre straight-six engine, the largest of the Big Six engines, and with a manual transmission, mechanically akin to the famous 30/ 98 Tourer. It has been extensively overhauled throughout with the engine, brakes, steering and suspension all seeing work. The weather equipment is also present. In total c.£230,000 has been spent completely restoring, replacing or refurbishing every area of the car possible. Now finished to a show-worthy standard 'XS 4714' is accompanied by numerous rare spares and a V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: F28 RYV Chassis No: SAJJNADW3DB163097 MOT: T.B.A.Treated to over £68,000 worth of restoration and upgrade work by acknowledged Jaguar XJ-S specialist KWE less than 3,000 miles agoSteering, brakes and suspension all upratedQuad headlamp conversion, stainless steel exhaust, more modern Alpine stereo etcPreviously valued at £58,000Launched in 1975, Jaguar's XJ-S was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads and so came with automatic transmission as standard. Though, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post 1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood. Underpinned by the same all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power assisted rack and pinion steering as its fixed head coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form. The vendor paid Jaguar XJ-S specialist KWE over £68,000 in 2014-2015 to source, restore and upgrade this V12 Convertible to his specification (a sum which would likely exceed £100,000 if similar work were carried out today). The transformation is still documented on the West Berkshire company’s website - https://www.kwecars.com/stunning-1988-jaguar-xjs-v12-convertible-with-room-for-pops/ - and shows that ‘F28 RYV’ required minimal remedial metalwork once stripped back to bare metal. Repainted Westminster Blue (£13,885.20) and retrimmed with Magnolia Connolly hide (£9,434.40) and a new Dark Blue mohair hood (£2,520), the two-seater also had its steering / suspension / brakes refurbished and uprated (£10,032), engine serviced / overhauled (£8,400), electrics improved (£2,539.20) and air-conditioning recommissioned (£1,610.40). Converted to quad headlamps, the Jaguar was further personalised with a Motolita wood-rimmed steering wheel and Alpine stereo not to mention a custom platform behind the seats to better accommodate additional luggage or the seller’s labrador ‘Pops’. Having covered less than 3,000 miles since its rejuvenation, the XJ-S’s odometer currently shows some 62,000 miles. Due to be freshly MOT tested ahead of the auction, ‘F28 RYV’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, past valuation for £58,000 and sundry KWE correspondence / invoices etc. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737

Registration No: Y834 MWL Chassis No: SCFAC133X1B500004 MOT: July 2025Loaned by Aston Martin to EON Productions for a photoshoot at Pinewood Studios with Pierce Brosnan to promote the twentieth James Bond film, 'Die Another Day'Finished in the same Tungsten Silver with Charcoal leather and an aluminium centre console as the hero cars in the film (hence the reason it was requested for the photoshoot)A notably early production example and one of seven cars which were initially retained by the factory for press dutiesSubsequently road registered as 'M16 SPY' and 'A12 AML'Part of a prominent Aston Martin collection since 2003The lead car in a parade to commemorate the opening of the M6 Toll roadJust c.37,800 miles from newPLEASE NOTE: The check engine light has recently appeared on this lot.A landmark model in Aston Martin’s history, the Vanquish MkI was unveiled at the 2001 Geneva Salon. Styled by Ian Callum and notable as his first ‘clean sheet’ design for the marque (as opposed to the DB7 which sat on a modified Jaguar platform), the newcomer featured a bonded composite aluminium chassis with carbon fibre backbone. Developed in conjunction with Lotus, the structure was equipped with all-round independent suspension and four-wheel, ventilated ABS disc brakes. A true Grand Tourer available in two-seater or 2+2-seater guises, the Vanquish was powered by a 6-litre V12 DOHC engine allied to automated six-speed manual transmission. With some 460bhp and 400lbft of torque on tap, the Fixed-Head Coupe was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5 seconds and 190mph. Although it broke a lot of new ground, the Vanquish was also notable as the last Aston Martin to be handbuilt at Newport Pagnell, with just 1,503 being completed before the arrival of the Vanquish ‘S’ in 2004. Confident that it had produced a winner, Aston Martin readied seven early production cars for UK press duties road registering them as ‘Y829 MWL’ through to ‘Y836 MWL’ during June 2001 (with the exception of ‘Y830 MWL’). The septet then appeared in a plethora of magazines and brochures. Taken on a road trip to Scotland, this particular example – ‘Y834 MWL’ – was the subject of a multi-page article entitled ‘Loch, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’. However, its true claim to fame came was when it was delivered to Pinewood Studios to be photographed alongside Pierce Brosnan as part of the promotional campaign for the twentieth James Bond film, ‘Die Another Day’.Notable as the first 007 outing since ‘The Living Daylights’ in 1987 to star a current Aston Martin model as the hero car, ‘Die Another Day’ signified a re-forging of the links amid the British manufacturer and EON Productions such that the world’s most famous spy has remained a resolute Aston man ever since! Invited to the factory before filming commenced, Brosnan was sufficiently bowled over by the Vanquish to acquire one which remained with him until 2015 (when it was sadly destroyed in a house fire). Finished in the same Tungsten Silver with Charcoal leather and an aluminium centre console as the Vanquish's that lit up the silver screen but sadly lacking their ejector seat, missiles and machine guns, ‘Y834 MWL’ was an obvious choice for the Pierce Brosnan / Pinewood Studios photoshoot which was subsequently syndicated worldwide. Indeed, images from the iconic collaboration between James Bond and ‘Y834 MWL’ are still being used by numerous newspapers, magazines and websites today. Having graced the front cover of Aston Martin News in February 2002, the GT sported the appropriate number plate ‘M16 SPY’ for a brief while before being sold to the vendor by JCT600 of Leeds the following year. A prominent (and prolific) Aston Martin collector, the seller has enjoyed exhibiting his ‘James Bond’ Vanquish at numerous events and shows over the years, not to mention touring abroad with the Aston Martin Owners’ Club to the Le Mans 24-hours and Portugal etc. However, his favourite memory of the Tungsten-hued Coupe is from 9th December 2003 when he headed the parade of cars which were the very first to use the M6 Toll road. Registered as ‘A12 AML’ at the time (aping the ‘V12 AML’ number used by the factory), the GT reverted to its most famous plate ‘Y834 MWL’ during February 2022. Accompanying service invoices suggest that the Vanquish has covered 18,000 of its warranted c.37,800 miles in the vendor’s hands (albeit less than 4,000 of those have been accrued over the past decade). Highly original, the GT looks very much the same as it did when promoting ‘Die Another Day’ twenty-two years ago. Any Vanquish is a special car with Evo magazine naming the model as one of its 25 most significant performance cars of the last 25 years in 2023 and commenting thus: “If the DB4 of 1958 signalled the start of Aston’s original golden era, the Vanquish kick-started a new golden age that would see Gaydon-built cars, led by DB9 and Vantage, achieve unprecedented sales. Quite simply, it sparked the most successful period in Aston history, and for that Aston fans – and really anyone who enjoys the rich tapestry of performance cars – should be forever grateful”. However, as a bona fide piece of James Bond memorabilia, ‘Y834 MWL’ has a significance all its own. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file, owners handbook and service book plus current MOT certificate valid until July 2025.

Registration No: 161 XUL Chassis No: BC49CH MOT: Exempt1 of just 45 RHD S1 Continental chassis bodied by Park Ward to its Design Number 701Subject to an extensive restoration which included conversion to Drophead Coupé format by A&B PriceThe beneficiary of approximately £200,000 worth of expenditure with marque specialists such as Frank Dale and Jonathan Padgett in the current ownershipUnveiled in Autumn 1955 some six months after its Bentley S1 Standard Steel Saloon sibling, the Continental version was only available to coach-built special order. Featuring a higher compression ratio and taller back axle ratio, the newcomer was found capable of over 120mph. Underpinned by the same cruciform-braced box-section chassis as the ‘basic’ S1, complete with independent front suspension, a well-located ‘live’ rear axle and servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes, most of the coachbuilders that clothed it favoured aluminium over steel. Lighter and nimbler than the standard factory offering, Continentals were typically some fifty per cent more expensive too. Long considered among the best engines Bentley ever made, the S1’s 4.9 litre straight-six was famed for its blend of torque, refinement and durability and was thus well-suited to the standard fit four-speed automatic transmission. Among the era's fastest and most exclusive four-seaters, the last of 431 S1 Continentals was completed in 1959. Mentored by A.F. McNeil at J. Gurney Nutting & Co Ltd during the mid-1930s and subsequently promoted to Chief Designer there, John Polwhele Blatchley joined Rolls-Royce during WWII. A stylistic influence on every generation of Bentley from the MkVI through to the T-Series, he took control of in-house coachbuilder Park Ward’s designs from 1952 onwards and was later credited with penning the Rolls-Royce Corniche. Decidedly elegant but with various a la mode twists such as its subtly integrated vestigial tail finds, Park Ward’s Design Numbers 700 and 701 for the Bentley S1 Continental chassis were typical of Blatchley’s creative ethos. Evolving through issues one and two, later versions of the sleek, two-door Drophead Coupé and Fixed Head Coupé variants utilised the same tail-lights as the Standard Steel Saloon integrating them into the base of the tailfins. Park Ward bodied a total of sixty-nine Bentley S1 Continental chassis to its Design Number 701 (with forty-five being to right-hand drive specification) with a further eighty-nine Drophead Coupés to Design Number 700. The aluminium clad Drophead Coupé is considered to be one of the most desirable Bentley Continental variants and therefore examples today are regularly seen for sale at more than £1,000,000. This has resulted in a small number of Fixed Head Coupes being converted to Drophead Coupe specification. According to Martin Bennett’s authoritative book ‘Bentley Continental, Corniche and Azure’, chassis BC49CH was bodied by Park Ward as a Fixed Head Coupe to its Design Number 701. Delivered in November 1957 to A. Beatty, it was initially registered as ‘UXF 100’. The ‘A. Beatty’ in question is understood to have been Sir Alfred Chester Beatty; an American-British mining magnate who moved to London from New York City in 1911. Known as the ‘The King of Copper’, his donations were pivotal to the establishment and survival of what is now The Institute of Cancer Research. Little else is known about the four-seater’s early history until 1990 when the previous owner entrusted it to A&B Price for restoration and conversion to Drophead Coupé specification. Reportedly using an original Design Number 700 Drophead Coupe as a template, A&B Price carried out a limited number of such transformations around this time which were noted for their quality and accuracy. A taller gentleman, the last keeper requested that the rear hood line be raised slightly so that he could ride comfortably in the back should someone else take the wheel. Part of the vendor’s imposing Bentley Continental collection since 2008, when he purchased it from marque specialist Frank Dale & Stepsons, ‘161 XUL’ has been lavishly maintained and improved to the tune of over £200,000. Acknowledged specialist Padgett Motor Engineers have thoroughly overhauled the original engine, not to mention attending to the automatic transmission and back axle. The hood has been re-profiled and renewed in Dark Green mohair, while the interior upholstery, boot and wood veneers have been refurbished (the associated SimTrim of Spalding bills totalling £50,000 plus). The cubbies to the driver and passenger doors house a seemingly unused picnic set, while the dashboard contains a digitalised Becker Mexico stereo. Performing notably well on a recent outing, the Bentley has lived up to its name making numerous trips to mainland Europe with the seller. Accumulating sundry stone chips as a result, it nonetheless remains highly presentable to our eyes. A rare coachbuilt Bentley S1 Continental in both its original and secondary guises, ‘161 XUL’ has been better maintained than many of its siblings.

We finally got rid of the VW pedals and had a chassis that handled in a much more progressive and controllable manner. Not a convert before, completely converted after!" Traditionalists may have decried the 996's water-cooled engine and shared Boxster componentry, however, the newcomer's use of a brand-new platform (the 911's first since 1963) meant that it was notably lighter, stiffer, and more aerodynamic than its 993 predecessor. Equipped with four-valve cylinder heads, the 996's 3.4-litre engine developed 296bhp and 258lbft (outputs comparable to those of the 993 Carrera RS's 3.8-litre unit). Allied to either a six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission, the free-revving flat-six enabled the 2+2-seater to sprint to 60mph in 5 seconds and onto 174mph. More ergonomically laid out and spacious than that of any previous 911, the 996's cabin also boasted a far better HVAC system. Model year 2002 saw a major upgrade to Carrera 2 and 4 with a 'facelift' to include the Turbo's 'teardrop' headlamps, glovebox, sports steering wheel, and the larger 320bhp 3.6-litre engine (featuring Variocam Plus variable valve timing and opening technology).First registered on the 11th July 2002, ‘AJ02 ZKD’ was specified through the Porsche Exclusive programme in the rare colour scheme of Cobalt Blue over a Light Blue extended leather interior and was specified with such luxuries as heated ‘memory’ adjusting front seats, Tiptronic gearbox, Sat-Nav, air-conditioning and dark burr maple trim. Externally, the car came with a body-coloured matching hardtop and rides upon 18” Porsche Sport Classic alloy wheels.Purchased by the vendor in 2014, there are four previous keepers recorded, with the previous owner having been the custodian since 2009. The history file records seven Porsche main dealer services and five Porsche specialist services, with the latest recorded in August 2021 at 118,222 miles. Furthermore, the car has been subject to much further work as recorded by several invoices within the history folder, including an IMS and RMS bearing change plus more recent works for new rear shock absorbers, reconditioned steering rack, new brake discs and pads, an oil service in 2023 and a new stainless-steel exhaust. The vendor now rates the 911 mechanically as in ‘very good to excellent’ fettle. The bodywork has also been equally well cherished, and the vendor also rates this as ‘very good for the age of the car’ and ‘feels all round to have covered far less than its currently indicated 124,000 miles’.A genuinely delightful soft-top Porsche, ‘AJ02 ZKD’ is offered to market as the vendor has in his own words ‘simply not been using the car to its full potential’. Representing excellent value compared with some of its newer 911 siblings and given its specification is arguably far more interesting.

Registration No: JNP 570 Chassis No: GS2501760 MOT: ExemptA clean example that was subject to a comprehensive overhaul in the late 80s / early 90sFloor gearchange exampleSporting a delightful original 'special order' interiorSubject to recent cylinder head overhaul and attention to the bodyworkIntroduced in 1947, the A40 was Austin's first 'clean sheet' post-WW2 family saloon design. Based on a sturdy chassis frame equipped with independent front suspension, a 'live' rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes, the newcomer was powered by a 1200cc OHV four-cylinder engine allied to a four-speed manual transmission. With 40bhp on tap, it was reputedly capable of over 70mph. Once production was in full swing and the principal Devon (four-door) and Dorset (two-door) saloon models firmly established, other variants joined the A40 line-up including a Jensen-designed sports four-seater, 10cwt Pickup, 10cwt Van and Estate car (or 'Countryman' as it was known).First registered on 29th July 1950, ‘JNP 570’ is a rare example of an Austin A40 Devon, that was supplied from new in the attractive colour scheme of Black over a special order Grey interior with a rare Smiths clock rear-view mirror and a floor-change gearbox. Little is known of the early history of the Austin, however, it has been evidently very well looked after and has retained much of its original interior, even following a comprehensive body restoration during the late 1980s / early 1990s.Purchased by the vendor in 2015, ‘JNP 570’ has been cherished as part of a small private collection and has been maintained impeccably throughout his period of ownership. Recent works include a cylinder head overhaul during which hardened valve seats were fitted so that the car could comfortably be run on unleaded petrol. The front of the body has received much attention to the metalwork and paint. Now offered at No Reserve at our Duxford auction, the Austin is described as being in ‘very good’ order all round and will instantly transport any prospective owner back to an age when these now rare cars were de rigueur on the streets of Britain.PLEASE NOTE: A previous owner has been in contact and described that this A40 Devon is a very well known car with an extensive history file. We are indebted to previous owner, Mr David Whyley for his description: The car was first registered on 29th July 1950 to Victor Morral of the Motor House Broadway Road Evesham and in the early 1980’s, the car was then taken in payment for a job by a worker at a house in the Evesham area. It would later be offered for Auction at a Wolverhampton car auction and then Trevor Bradley acquired it on the 20th March 1981 when it was re-commissioned for the road. David and Anne Whyley bought it from him on 30/05/8 when it had covered just 49,000 miles. David and Anne would be custodians of the A40 for thirty years during which time it would be featured in many magazine articles and documentaries including "The Car is the Star". David also overhauled the engine at 89,000 miles and replaced all of the chromework with new old stock fittings. David is a highly regarded Austin historian and described 'JNP 570' as "one of the best preserved examples left in existence today."

Entering showrooms that October, the resultant MkIV version (as it was unofficially known) was immediately recognisable courtesy of its impact-absorbing 'rubber bumpers'. Far better integrated than the similar contrivances found on other American market cars (think Mercedes-Benz W107 SL), the weight penalty they incurred was more than offset by the adoption of a new 1500cc engine. Sourced from the Triumph Spitfire together with an all-synchromesh gearbox, it gave the Midget a notable boost in performance. Capable of over 100mph and known for its tidy handling, the MkIV was well received by the press and public alike.Understood to be one of the last 500 home-market made, which were all finished in Black, 'OWT 220W' is matched to a Black interior with Red piped seats and a walnut dashboard.

Registration No: URK 397 Chassis No: BN1223802 MOT: ExemptUnderstood to have been despatched directly to Donald Healey Garages in 1955 before receiving a full conversion to M-specificationBelieved to have been raced in the US and at the Nassau Speed week before being repatriated to the UK as early as 1958Retaining its original M-specification engine plus a BN2 four-speed gearbox with overdriveMille Miglia eligibleDonald Healey's eponymous company built a prototype two-seater sports car for display at the 1952 London Motor Show. It was based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and sported a notably sleek body designed by Gerry Coker and built by Tickford. It was dubbed the 'Healey Hundred' (a moniker chosen to reflect the car's ability to reach the magic 100mph), and, subject to a suitably encouraging response, Healey planned to build production versions in-house at his factory in Warwick. As things transpired, not only did the Ice Blue prototype more than impress the public, but it also excited Austin's Managing Director, Leonard Lord, so much that he struck a deal to build the car in volume at Longbridge. The newcomer was renamed the Austin-Healey 100/4. The rest, as they say, is history.The 100/4's chassis was a departure from the company's previous backbone designs and comprised a pair of three-inch square box-section side members running the length of the car, some 17 inches apart. These were braced by parallel and cruciform cross-members to which the steel floor pressings were attached. After the first 25 cars had been constructed at Healey's own premises in Warwick, the production of the mainstream bodyshells was turned over to Jensen. Once complete, the shells were transported to Longbridge, where the Healeys were assembled alongside the A90.As part of his tireless publicity campaign to promote the newly introduced Austin-Healey 100/4 BN1, Donald Healey entered a team of four pre-production cars for the 1953 Le Mans 24-hour race. Running with standard windscreens, interiors and even bumpers, two of this mildly tweaked quartet survived to finish 12th and 14th overall (an amazing result for such comparatively inexpensive cars in near showroom condition). Eager to capitalise on this success (and also to comply with the event's homologation requirements) Healey persuaded BMC to list a 'Le Mans kit' (twin 1.75 inch SU carburettors, high-lift camshaft, revised distributor advance curve and stronger valve springs etc) in its parts catalogue for 1954. Known officially as part P-280, it was available to fit on new or old models alike, and by dealers or private individuals. A handful of BN1 100s were to be delivered from Longbridge directly to the Donald Healey Motor Co. to be fitted with the 'Le Mans Modification Kit' when new; but upon launch of the BN2 it was to be adopted by BMC themselves for the 100M version and subsequently introduced at the 1955 London Motor Show. The upgrade has remained a popular modification package ever since and continues to be reproduced today.According to the accompanying Heritage Certificate, chassis BN1/223802 was built on 8th February 1955 in right-hand drive configuration for the Australian market. It is said to have all the hallmarks of a car that was uprated to ‘Le Mans’ specification at Donald Healey’s Warwick factory rather than being modified (either in period or more modern times) by a dealer or private individual. The requisite ‘telltales’ apparently being: a bend in the shroud bracket to clear the cool air box, aluminium louvred bonnet (crafted by Jensen cars) and hand etched numbering to the uprated SU carburettors etc. Seemingly shipped to the Bahamas when new (rather than Sydney), the 100 is further understood to have participated in that year’s Nassau Speed Week. Sadly, there are no reliable records to confirm its participation. The Big Healey is understood to have had a damaged rear end and have been repainted British Racing Green over Yellow when it was found by Dr Pryor whilst holidaying in the Bahamas during 1957. The vendor believes there is a chance that BN1/223802 was diverted to Nassau at the behest of Sir Sydney and Lady Greta Oakes who were prominent members of the Caribbean racing scene at the time and friends with Donald Healey.Repatriated by Dr Pryor in 1958 and issued with the Croydon registration number ‘URK 397’, he took the two-seater off the road following an accident in which his daughter was injured but retained possession until 1971. First owned by the vendor from 1980-1985 during which time he had it restored and repainted in its original Ice Blue over Old English White colours, the 100 later passed to Tony Elshof who previously served as the Austin-Healey Club’s Competitions Secretary and amassed a collection of significant examples of the marque. Changing hands several times thereafter, including a sojourn in France, ‘URK 397’ was reacquired by the seller during 2018. Entrusted to Rose’s Garage and Bushell’s Vehicle Restorations for servicing and maintenance since then, the Big Healey is deemed to be in ‘very good overall’ mechanical condition. Running and driving well during our recent photography session, the improved BN2 four-speed manual gearbox and gearlever-operated overdrive were both a boon. Although no longer concours, the two-seater remains presentable. Potentially eligible for such prestigious events as the Mille Miglia Storica, ‘URK 397’ is offered for sale with extensive history file, spare wheel, hood, tonneau cover and spare parts (the original, very rare distributor vacuum unit and the original cylinder head). It will also be accompanied by the V5C Registration Document.i For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Rootes American Motors Inc. saw the potential for performing a similar operation on the stylish four-cylinder Sunbeam Alpine. Preliminary research suggested that the engine used to produce the Cobra - Ford's 4.3-litre (260ci) 'Windsor' unit - would be the appropriate powerplant, and a prototype was commissioned from Carroll Shelby, the man behind the Cobra project, who would entrust famous GT40 racer Ken Miles with setting it all up. Unveiled at the April 1964 New York Motor Show, the resultant Tiger incorporated uprated steering, suspension and brake assemblies but retained the Alpine's basic layout and sheetmetal. With a quoted 164bhp/258lbft on tap, the newcomer was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in under eight seconds and 120mph. Later, the MkII Tiger was launched which would be fitted with the larger 4.7-litre (289ci) engine - which was sadly only available in Left Hand Drive format. Distinguishing itself on race tracks and rally stages alike, the model accounted for some 7,085 sales from 1964-1967.Initially registered to high-end tailors Jones, Chalk and Dawson Ltd of 6 Jackwell Street, London on March 1st 1965, chassis B-9472259-H-ROFE was transferred into the name of one of their directors, Ronald Clark, three years later. Changing hands several times during the 1970s, the Sunbeam was acquired by Ken Young of Byfleet, Surrey towards the decade’s end. The Tiger’s longest-term keeper (1978-2004), he oversaw two bodywork renovations in 1989 and 2002 (including a colour change from Mediterranean Blue to Guards Red). Sold on twice more before entering the current ownership in 2022, the two-seater accumulated numerous maintenance invoices over the years. Conscious that the original 260ci engine had been supplanted by a 289ci unit at some stage, the vendor decided to enhance the sportscar’s dynamics. To this end, he has overhauled the suspension and rear axle uprating them with a thicker front anti-roll bar and limited-slip differential respectively. He has also fettled the carburettor and cooling / ignition systems, not to mention uprating the rev counter and speedometer. Deeming the Sunbeam’s mechanical condition as good enough for him to ‘jump in and drive it anywhere’, the seller acknowledges that the bodywork and paintwork are ‘average to good’. A desirable ‘home market’ Tiger that has benefited from some £10,000 worth of expenditure over the last two years, ‘DUC 515C’ was still cut quite the dash on Carnaby Street!

The model range included coupé and convertible body styles, as well as being the first 3-Series to be produced in saloon and estate body styles. The 320i was fitted with a two-litre straight-six petrol engine mated to either a five-speed Getrag manual or four-speed automatic pushing it to over 120mph. Far, far rarer than its saloon siblings, just 32,686 examples of BMW’s iconic E30-generation 320i Convertible were made (with most being to LHD specification).First registered on the 1st August 1988, 'F432 SLJ' was specified in Alpine White over a Black leather interior with a Black mohair hood and was fitted from factory with the desirable five-speed manual transmission. Throughout the car’s life, it has evidently been cherished and is presented with a comprehensive service history and the original book pack.Purchased by the vendor in 2016, the E30’s V5C records six previous keepers and displays 93,365 miles from new which is believed genuine as evidenced by MOT history. Upon inspection, the straight-six power unit fired into life with incredible ease and the vendor is confident that the mechanical condition of the car is ‘very good to excellent’. The paintwork appears to have been equally well cared for and it was hard to find age-related wear – the vendor also states that the condition is ‘very good’. The owner advises that the Black leather interior ‘appears to show far less miles than is indicated’ although he did state that the steering wheel leather has worn through at the top and will require repair.The vendor has thoroughly enjoyed the now very desirable cabriolet for eight years, and due to an expansion in his collection, but not an expansion in storage space, he feels it is due a new, loving home. The six-cylinder E30s have been becoming ever more desirable in recent years and this example would look very much at home in any prospective buyer’s collection.PLEASE NOTE: This BMW has recently been through a fresh MOT with no advisories and has had the steering wheel repaired professionally in preparation for sale.

Registration No: DAK 760 Chassis No: 74554 MOT: Exempt1 of just 19 examples manufactured, with c.12 reputed to have survivedComprehensively restored by the TT Workshop in approximately 2005Part of BMW UK's historic fleet from 2015-2022 and displayed at various events with BMWRecommissioned by BMW in 2022Cosmetically detailed while in the vendor's ownership and now presenting excellentlyThe reputation of BMW as a manufacturer of sporting motorcars initially started with the annual ‘Eifel Race’ event, held at the Nürburgring. On the 14th of June 1936, Ernst Henne beat a field that included 1½-litre single-seat racing cars driving the prototype of what would become one of the most iconic sports cars of all time – the legendary ‘328’. The 328 would go on to dominate the 2-litre race class and achieved outright victory in the 1940 Mille Miglia. The fact that the initial victory of 1936 had been achieved only eight years after BMW’s establishment as an automobile manufacturer made it all the more remarkable. To capitalise on the racing success, the company launched a new range of models that would become the foundation of its reputation as a manufacturer of highest quality cars with power and style. The 328 flagship of the range incorporated a lightweight tubular chassis and a powerful straight-six engine with overhead valves and triple carburettors.Alongside the 328, BMW offered the 327, a delightful four-seater sports tourer based on a shortened, boxed, ladder-type chassis with semi-elliptic rear springs, a Hurth 4-speed gearbox and hydraulic brakes all round. Offered as a two-door Coupe or Cabriolet, there was also two engine options, the more powerful of which (the 327/80) utilised the lusty 80bhp unit from the 328. This engine was the masterpiece of designer Rudolf Schleicher and although only displacing 1,971cc, it utilised hemispherical combustion chambers, inclined valves and twin downdraught inlet ports generating a very credible 80bhp in standard tune. The styling was again the work of Peter Schimanowski and lent itself to the two-tone paintwork that adorned many examples of the breed.Rewinding the clock somewhat to January 1st 1929, a former GN apprentice became managing director of AFN Ltd., H.J. ‘Aldy’ Aldington, was also a keen competitor. Dubbed the ‘High Priest of the Chain Gang’ by none other than Bill Boddy, his team finished second overall on the 1933 Alpine Trial. Determined to go one better the following year, he was dismayed to find that his Chain Gang Nashes were no match for BMW’s new 315 Two-Seater Sports. Thanks to financial input from A.F.P. Fane, AFN Ltd became the sole concessionaire for BMW in the UK during November 1934 with the resultant right-hand drive cars being offered as Frazer-Nash BMWs. This arrangement continued until the outbreak of war in 1939 when, unsurprisingly, it was rapidly terminated. Only 19 examples of the Frazer Nash-BMW 327/80s were imported and, it's believed, just 12 survive.Imported by AFN Ltd into Isleworth in early 1939 for supply to its first owner and road registered ‘DAK 760’, the 327/80 is finished attractively in Midnight Blue over Cream with Blue pinstripes. Possessing a real presence and displaying none of the stately Teutonic pomp normally associated with pre-war German cabriolets, but echoes the elegant lines of thirties' Alfas with styling cues that suggest the work of those ‘swoopy’ Blue and Cream creations beloved of the French coachbuilders. The story is continued throughout the interior with lavish Navy Blue leather, with a beautiful dashboard fitted with Cream-faced Art Deco-style instruments and clocks surrounded by an array of Bakelite switches and knobs. The folding Blue soft-top appears in excellent condition and the jack etc. are neatly stashed in the engine bay.Lavished with a full restoration in approximately 2005 by well-renowned marque specialists, TT Workshop, which included a full engine overhaul and gearbox renewal to the cost of some £17,000 before thereafter joining BMW UK's Historic Fleet in 2015. Remaining there for several years, the 327/80 was featured at various events and displays before the decision to rationalise the Historic Fleet was taken in 2022. Provided with a full recommissioning by BMW, the Frazer-Nash was then acquired by the vendor into his private collection, which does contain other significant BMWs. Used for events and shows during the vendor's ownership, the brakes were also overhauled by Norfolk Classics shortly after purchase, and now reputedly runs well. Cosmetically detailed by the vendor and then simply used and enjoyed, the Frazer-Nash now comes to market ready for the next custodian.Having covered minimal mileage since the TT Workshop restoration (a believed 900 miles), this exceptionally rare, examples of the 327/80 rarely come to market making this an opportunity not to be missed for Frazer-Nash or BMW enthusiasts.

Featuring a water pump, trembler coil ignition and overhead valves, its advanced rear-mounted single-cylinder engine was allied to two-speed planetary transmission. Displacing some 1.6 litres (later 1.9 litres), the eager powerplant was reputed to develop 4½ horsepower at 500rpm and to emit one chug per telegraph pole. Designed to negotiate unmade roads, the Oldsmobile's sturdy yet lightweight chassis featured so-called 'Concorde' leaf springs and tiller steering. While the two brakes provided acted on the transmission and differential respectively. Over 11,000 of the three Curved Dash models ('R', '6C' and 'B') were completed before production ceased in 1907, making it the first volume produced American automobile. Reputedly supplied new to a New York City resident in 1902, chassis 6966 remained Stateside until being imported to the UK by renowned Veteran car collectors Daniel and Toby Ward one hundred and seventeen years later. Part of the brothers’ private museum until entering the current ownership via the agency of specialist dealer Tom Parrott earlier in 2024, the Oldsmobile was acquired to allow other members of the seller’s family to participate in the London to Brighton Run. To this end, he fettled the gear cones and trembler coil ignition as well as installing a new Holley NH carburettor and aluminium fuel tank. DVLA registered as ‘BS 8718’ and dated by the Veteran Car Club (under reference number 4276/2021), it is only a change of heart on the part of its would-be crew that prompts the Curved Dash’s sale. Repainted many years ago, the two-seater now exhibits a pleasing patina and is said to run ‘very well indeed’.

The Bentley S1 that replaced the R-Type model was essentially a Silver Cloud I behind the distinctive 'Flying B' radiator grille. Greatly improved performance arrived with the S2 model of 1959, when the straight-six engine was pensioned off in favour of a new 6.2-litre aluminium V8 unit. This raised the top speed to some 114mph and greatly enhanced acceleration. Power steering became standard and electrically operated windows an option.Finished in Champagne complemented to a Deep Red interior, chassis B257CT has benefitted from much expense in the current ownership. In September 2023, the S2 was the subject of a full service, reconditioned front wheel cylinders, a new battery and attention to the braking system, in addition to further work carried out by AB Classics of Wisbech at a cost of £7,425.00. An overhauled rear axle has also been fitted. Furthermore, it's understood to have seen work to replace engine mountings, the front engine cross-member and exhaust fixings, with these works being carried out by Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists Colbrook.

Fuel injection finally arrived in October 1982 creating the XR3i, eight months behind the limited edition (8,659 examples) race-track-influenced RS 1600i. The Cologne-developed RS received a more powerful engine with 115 PS (85 kW), thanks to computerized ignition and a modified head as well as the fuel injection. Built in Germany but developed with the aid of computers in Essex, Michigan and Cologne, the XR3 was an instant hit, and represented one in 10 Escort sales. The mix of iconic ‘cloverleaf’ alloy wheels, chin spoiler and Porsche 928 inspired sports seats, captured the public’s imagination. It wasn’t perfect, however, despite Bilstein being drafted in at the last minute to tweak the suspension, the ride was firm, so Ford’s UK Special Vehicle Engineering arm, headed by Rod Mansfield, stepped in to change that.Believed to be one of some 168 UK registered XR3s left on the road today, this XR3, a non-injection iteration of the model, was first registered on 20th April 1982, with the rare and desirable 5-speed manual transmission. Finished in the attractive and rarely seen Titan Blue with dealer decals still in place, this is a very early XR3 that the vendor purchased for his daughter in March 2022, after ‘a long search for a ‘good one’’, but it sits in a garage and has seen little use. With 4 former keepers recorded, the vendor says the car had once been owned by an auntie, then her niece and had been in storage for sometime.Even with Historic Vehicle status, the vendor has still put the XR3 through an MOT test at 86,798 miles, which will expire in July 2025. The single advisory has been remedied. The body is amazingly original with some minor marks as you would expect from such originality. The interior is equally very good. 'ARH’ had a cam-belt fitted along with a full service when purchased. In the last two years, the XR3 has also benefitted from a new carburettor, cam-belt and water pump, new tyres, new brake components, battery and battery tray, head gasket, thermostat, oil and filter. Additionally, it's worth pointing out its cloverleaf spare wheel and a Blue top-tint windscreen. Offered with a collection of invoices, sundry paperwork and a current V5C on file.

Registration No: TDJ 770L Chassis No: BBAFNP19116 MOT: Exempt1300 XL model presented in the attractive combination of ‘Sunset’ with contrasting Biscuit vinyl interiorJust 32,457 Miles on the odometer with 4 former keepersOffered with a comprehensive history fileFord’s phenomenally successful Escort made its debut at the 1968 Brussels Motorshow. It was a direct replacement for the long running Anglia range and, while much of the mechanicals were carried over, the styling was far more contemporary. Power came from a choice of 1100 or 1300cc versions of the Crossflow ‘Kent’ engine, which drove through a slick four-speed manual gearbox or three-speed automatic unit and on to the rear wheels. Suspension was by MacPherson struts at the front and live axle mounted on leaf springs at the rear, while the Escort was the first Ford to feature rack and pinion steering. The XL trim variant included the GT-Style six dial instrument binnacle, two speed wipers and heater/demister, ashtrays and simulated wood fascia to the dashboard and door cappings. On the exterior, stainless-steel finish sill plates, wheel trims and more.This particular Escort, presented in ‘Sunset’ with contrasting Biscuit vinyl interior was first registered on 01 May 1973 and delivered to Liverpool. ‘TDJ 770L’ would have just 2 keepers until it was purchased by its third owner, an R J Gourley, also living in Liverpool in August 1975 at just two years old. The car would remain with Gourley for the majority of its life, for some 42 years between 1975 and 2017. During his ownership, the car covered 14,374 miles and was dry-stored in his single garage and used sparingly. Following his ownership, the car was passed to a family friend, before being sold to the previous owner, and the current owner in June 2019. Amazingly, ‘TDJ 770L’ is believed to be in remarkably original condition, with its original paint still showing touch-ins from Gourley accidentally scraping the car on either side of the rear arches when pushing the car in and out of his small garage; adding to its charm. The condition of the interior and notably the boot further corroborate the story that this car spent most of its life garaged, and cherished.Included with the vehicle is a charming history file. Included within are various documents such as an AA Road test report dated November 1972, Escort comparison guide, Lubrication and Maintenance Chart Service Schedule and more. Also included within are numerous Tax discs, laid out nicely, a significant collection of MOT certificates from 1983, showing a clear progression in the car’s mileage over that period. An original ‘The Ford Escorts’ brochure, a Ford Warranty Facts booklet, Esso Recommended Lubricants booklet, Its original Owner’s handbook and Ford Sure booklet are also included, along with a handful of invoices, further literature and the current V5C document which displays 4 former keepers.In current ownership, ‘TDJ 770L’ has been enjoyed for numerous car shows and events, and now presents a fantastic opportunity for its next owner to cherish.

The BMW Alpina B10 3.3 produced 276bhp @ 6,200bhp and 335Nm (247 lb ft) of torque @ 4,500rpm. Alpina only made 112 of the B10 3.3 saloon models worldwide, from a total E39 B10 production run of 472, split across six-cylinder and V8s, saloon and touring models. Alpina really threw everything at this model! Unlike the earlier 3.2 version (which used a 528i engine as a base), the 3.3 Alpina took the legendary S52B32 engine from the US-spec E36 M3 and then increased the stroke to up the capacity to 3.3 litres. It was then fitted with lightweight MAHLE pistons with a ported and polished cylinder head, with a new crankshaft with torsional vibration dampers and revised ECU software.Build number 44 of the 112 B10s produced, was manufactured in 1999 and was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 1st March that year. Finished in Anthracite Grey paintwork with Montana Grey leather interior upholstery, the Alpina was specified with the rare and highly desirable manual gearbox, as well as electric rear windscreen blind and rear window privacy blinds, 19’ staggered alloys, Angel Eye, and LED lights, as well as having a tracking system. In current ownership since 2013, the Alpina has covered some 18,000 miles in this time and has just five former keepers.

The model designation crossed-over the introduction of the 911 (1964), with production of the 356 ending in 1965, North America still sending orders to Zuffenhausen, Germany, through 1965. The last revision was the 356 C and more powerful stablemate 356 SC, were both introduced for the 1964 model year. The ‘C’ possessed a version of Porsche’s 1600cc air-cooled flat-four boxer with a 4-speed transmission and with disc brakes all round. A lightweight and nimble-handling, rear-engine, rear-wheel drive, two-door, available both in hardtop Coupé and open configurations, its engineering innovations continued throughout production, contributing to its motorsport success and popularity.Acquired in 2012, this former resident of the Aalholm Automobil Museum, Denmark, is a European market left-hand drive example. It was brought to the UK in 2002 and has had just two previous UK owners recorded, the current since 2011. Condition-wise, there’s a mix of original patina on top, however, underneath it's been refurbished. In ownership, the 356 C has been the subject of an engine, gearbox (new clutch, flywheel and mounts) and suspension overhaul (new bushes and bearings etc.) and refreshed brake calipers. The engine has seen the addition of Prill 1720 pistons & cylinders, new valves and guides and a Prill fast-road camshaft etc. Furthermore, the Zenith carburettors have been overhauled and the generator refurbished, noticeably producing more voltage.To the benefit of improved performance, heat exchangers and related heater components were removed and the Karmann Konnection Sebring exhaust fitted, all removing significant weight, the vendor not requiring any heater in the summer months he has driven the car. Inside, the seats have been reupholstered, with new internals, powder-coated frames etc and enhanced with Pepita inserts, more 'grippy' seats which were introduced from December 1963. The original steering wheel & gear knob are in a box of removed parts. The vendor comments, ‘it drives well - notably since the suspension and engine were done'. Kept in a heated and dehumidified garage, it has seen use as a, as the vendor puts it, as a ‘great dry-day daily driver’. It’s now time for another custodian and our vendor admits he will miss it. The 356 C is offered with a history file, a number of removed parts and an up-to-date V5C Registration Document will accompany the sale. The aforementioned removed parts will need to be collected from Poole, Dorset after the sale. The cherished plate ‘DCJ 1A is not sold with the car and we believe the Porsche will be put back on its previous plate, ‘DUJ 204B’.

With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'. Based around a monocoque chassis featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, its 1798cc 'B' series four-cylinder engine was allied to a four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph, the provision of front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering greatly aided control.Despatched new on the 30th June 1971, ‘GPH 902K’ was supplied via Wadham Stringer Limited of Guildford. Specified from new with overdrive, a heater, a tonneau cover, and seatbelts, the MG was provided extensive restoration works by Maidstone Sports Cars in 2007. The work comprised of fitting an unleaded Ivor Seale balanced engine with a new water pump and oil cooler; an overhauled gearbox and overdrive unit; repainting; new chrome wire wheels; renewed front wheel hubs and new rear hubs; electronic ignition; and further enhancements, with the invoices on file from Maidstone Sports Cars (for 2007) surpassing £7,500 alone.The improvements have not stopped there however, with ‘GPH 902K’ benefitting from a new mohair hood in 2015 (supplied by MGOC Spares), further repainting by Sussex Coachworks also in 2015 (images on file), new door cards and fittings in 2017 and overhauled rear wheel hubs in 2019.

Fast enough to accrue silverware but tractable enough for road use, the newcomer was also among the prettiest automotive designs of the 1930s. Notably compact, its 7ft 6in wheelbase chassis featured all-round leaf-sprung suspension, four-wheel drum brakes and an underslung rear axle. Fed by twin carburettors and utilising an (optional) Scintilla magneto, the two-seater’s free-revving 1.1 litre engine developed some 42bhp and was allied to four-speed transmission. Tipping the scales at just 17cwt, the Imp was reputedly capable of 80mph (a speed few class rivals could match). Total production figures are unknown but have been estimated at 120–150 cars of which some 80 are known to have survived. According to its accompanying buff logbook, chassis 6027484 was first issued with the London number plate 'BXO 32' on 20th May 1935. Surviving World War Two, the Riley belonged to K.F. Rouse Esq of Birmingham for almost thirty years (1948-1977) before being bought by noted collector Graham Galliers. Finished in White with Cream upholstery at the time, the Imp then passed to Tony Smith of Cheshire who had specialist Bill Morris overhaul and uprate the ENV four-speed pre-selector gearbox (needle roller bearings supplanting the original bronze bushes) as well as attending to the oil pump and brakes etc. Taking possession in 2006, the two-seater’s previous keeper entrusted it to marque specialist Blue Diamond Services for a full service and thorough going over. The same company were tasked with repainting the Riley in its original Maroon hue and overhauling its factory-fitted engine. The latter having its white metal bearings renewed, Omega pistons fitted, power-sapping, lag tappets removed and crankshaft balanced etc. The SU carburettors were refurbished and the copper piping renewed / replaced as necessary. A dyno report on file shows an increased power output of 57bhp (some thirty-five percent up on standard). Entering the current ownership via Bonhams’ 2013 Goodwood Revival auction for £74,300, the Riley is said to have since benefited from a further £20,000-plus worth of expenditure. A former yacht skipper and horologist with a consequently fine eye for detail, the vendor has had the rear axle ratio raised from 5.25 to 4.55 which he feels has ‘transformed the car’ by making first gear a usable ratio and increasing the cruising speed. A Riley Register member, the seller considers the Imp to be in ‘very good’ mechanical condition such that he is ‘not afraid to use it for any occasion’. Deemed to be ‘very good’ cosmetically aside from the odd blemish, ‘BXO 32’ is potentially eligible for a variety of Vintage Sports Car Club events. Pretty and rare in equal measure, this delectable Imp is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, numerous bills / invoices and history file.

Force-fed by twin Garratt T3 turbochargers (in place of the previous single T4), the engine also boasted an improved cylinder head gasket design and Bosch Motronic management system. Developing some 405PS and 835Nm when fitted to the new ‘R’ model, it was allied to four-speed automatic transmission and reputedly enabled the luxurious sports saloon to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.0 seconds and onto 155mph. The Series Two cars further benefited from more comfortable seats and remained an object lesson in luxury especially if ordered in ‘Mulliner Level II’ specification. Facelifted for the 2005-model year, the Bentley sported more prominent ‘quad’ headlamps. In production from 2002 – 2009, just 373 Arnage Rs were built in right-hand drive.

Available with a diverse choice of all-steel bodywork (made to Budd patents), its uprated, quarter-elliptic leaf-sprung chassis featured worm and roller steering, rear shock absorbers and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a willing 1452cc four-cylinder side-valve engine mated to a three-speed manual gearbox, the B12 was quick to establish a reputation for durability and economy. In production for less than two years, surviving examples are an understandably scarce sight today.This Citroen B12 was built in 1925 (verified by Stellantis-Citroen UK) as a Saloon. Purchased as a non-runner in 2021, some missing parts have since been sourced in France and the now engine starts and runs via the starter motor or starting handle. The vendors purchased the B12 due to an interest in WWII history, of which there is plenty. It was converted to a Pickup (Plateau) by a butcher in the Dordogne during WWII, to enable him to obtain fuel from the Nazi occupiers who issued coupons to owners of commercial vehicles. When Germany finally retreated and liberation came, vehicles were painted with Free French Independence (FFI) insignia to participate in victory celebrations. The butcher then sold it to a local vineyard owner. An Englishman spotted the Pickup in a field in the late 1980s and purchased it, subsequently featuring in a number of magazines.Since 2021 the Pickup has benefitted from much expenditure, including replacement of the flat bed, the fuel lines, battery and cradle and the 6v windscreen wiper motor; refurbishment of the steering wheel, wiring loom, matching door cards and fabricating period registration plates. The Citroen was granted an age-related number in January 2024. Some original documentation and various manuals are included along with the V5C.

It can only be modesty on the part of the Bristol publicity boys which has prevented them from quoting as the 401's slogan 'The Best Car in Britain'" (Motor Sport magazine, January 1953).Introduced in Autumn 1949, the 401 was characterised by its super-smooth, aerodynamic bodywork. Honed in the Bristol Aeroplane Company's wind tunnel and built using Milanese coachbuilder Touring's ‘Superleggera’ technique, it boasted a commendably lithe kerb weight (c.2,700lbs). Equipped with transverse-leaf independent front suspension and hydraulic drum brakes, the newcomer proved a notably fine handler taking Touring Class wins on both the Cannes and Tulip Rallies during 1951. Powered by a 1971cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the elegant sports saloon promised nigh-on 100mph performance. Only in production for four years (by which time a mere 618 are thought to have been made), the model's exclusive £3,212 13s 4d price tag was a reflection of the aircraft quality materials used in its construction.First registered in Hampshire on the 14th May 1953 and previously featured in the December 1956 issue of Motor Sport magazine with its original and apt Bristol area mark 'LHO 401', this Bristol 401 has resided in and benefitted from its current ownership since 2019. When purchased by the vendor, 'LHO' was in a stripped-down state. The clincher for the vendor buying this particular car in a stripped-down condition - not normally recommended, was he identified from the logbook it was registered close to his birthday. A touch of serendipity in his mind. Stripped-down for previous restoration work in 1979, 'LHO 401' had occupied a space at TT Workshops Ltd for some 15 years, where work was carried out as-and-when. Decades now having passed 85% complete and unfinished, work was to begin in earnest to finally bring 'LHO' back to its former glory.All checked out as 'very good'. In particular, the chassis presented in excellent condition with no visible corrosion or signs of damage. Stripped once more, 'LHO' was presented to Superspray Ltd where it was taken to bare metal (images on file). 'LHO's' original colour had been identified as a Blue/Green hue ('Blue' on the buff logbook), however, it was decided that British Racing Green would be used. Meanwhile, the engine, was overhauled by Rob Walker Engines, Oxfordshire. A set of Cosworth pistons and rings, developed for better combustion in race engines were obtained from Roderick MacPherson, a Bristol Engine specialist, along with a 'fast road' profiled camshaft. The gearbox was taken to another Bristol specialist to be checked over and have an overdrive unit fitted.Previously in the ownership of a Derek Cunningham, a flamboyant writer, director and actor linked to satirical sketch comedy and work in Hollywood, 'LHO 401' is accompanied to the sale by its original logbook, instruction manual, a dossier of correspondence, invoices from the 1970s and 1980s, a copy of Motor Sport magazine featuring 'LHO' and other fascinating history. PLEASE NOTE: The restoration of this lot is essentially complete. The ‘finishing’ it requires is a matter of running-in, de-bugging and minor fettling. For example, the fuel filler flap could do with adjustment likewise the operation of the windscreen wiper motor.

Registration No: JAS 767 Chassis No: BC26BY MOT: Exempt1 of just 23 RHD Bentley S2 Continental chassis to be bodied by James Young to their design number CV100Well specified with power steering, automatic transmission, electric windows and air conditioningVeteran of numerous BDC and RREC rallies and toursThe subject of over £100,000 in expenditure in its current ownership, now coming up to 19 yearsFresh from a complete engine overhaul with Overton at a cost of c.£30,000'In the twilight of their coachbuilding years, James Young had with these cars reached the pinnacle of excellence.' - Martin Bennett, Rolls-Royce and Bentley. In the 1950s and 1960s the Bentley Continental was the world's ultimate Grand Tourer, a car in which you could set off from any European capital in the morning and arrive at Monte Carlo fresh enough to play the tables that same evening. Introduced in the autumn of 1959, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II and Bentley S2 appeared externally unchanged from their 'Cloud and S-Type predecessors, though the duo's performance was considerably enhanced by the new 6230cc aluminium-alloy V8 engine. Although wider and shorter than the 'six' it replaced, the new power unit fitted relatively easily within the engine bay, relocation of the steering box from inside to outside of the chassis frame being the most obvious alteration to the previous arrangements. Externally the new models appeared virtually unchanged, while beneath the skin Rolls-Royce's own four-speed automatic transmission was now the only one on offer and power steering had been standardised. Despite the popularity of the 'standard steel' bodywork, introduced when production of Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars resumed after WWII, a steadily declining number of independent coachbuilders continued to offer alternatives. Arguably the most stylish were those produced to clothe the Bentley Continental which, of course, was only ever available with bespoke coachwork. One of the most prominent of these surviving firms was James Young, a company that had established itself among the foremost coachbuilders for upmarket chassis by the end of the 1930s. The Bromley-based carriage-maker had bodied its first automobile in 1908, affiliating itself with a succession of quality marques throughout the 1920s and 1930s before being acquired by the Jack Barclay Group in 1937. Its factory was devastated by wartime bombing such that the company did not resume exhibiting at the London Motor Shows until 1948, continuing to offer coachbuilt designs of distinction on (mainly) Rolls-Royce and Bentley chassis until the arrival of the unitary construction Silver Shadow/T-Series range in the 1960s. One of just twenty-three, right-hand drive Bentley S2 Continentals to be fitted with four-door sports saloon coachwork by James Young, chassis BC26BY was initially earmarked for John Rogerson Esq, however, it was actually built to the special order of Greek businessman C.H. Dracoulis. Finished in Glasso Green with Beige leather upholstery, extras comprised of a private lock to the passenger door, rear reading light, electric front windows and leather-covered steering column levers. With Mr Dracoulis changing his mind too, the Bentley was actually supplied new to W. Turner Esq. in 1961. Entering the current ownership some forty-four years later, ‘JAS 767’ has since covered some 35,000 miles on various BDC and RREC tours with highlights including: ‘Arabian Gulf Adventure’ (2009), Northern Italian Lakes (2011). North West America / Canada (2013), South East America (2017). Touring Sweden in 2018, the S2 Continental has since restricted its sorties to the UK. Treated to more than £100,000 worth of maintenance and improvement work over the past nineteen years, some £41,000 was spent in the first two years of the vendor’s custodianship, on the engine, steering, brake and exhaust plus the discreet fitment of air-conditioning. Another £33,000 followed with the last major bill being for a thorough engine overhaul carried out by marque specialist Overton Vehicle Overhauls Ltd in 2022 (c .£30,000). Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, tool kit, spare wheel and history file (invoices, hand-written notes, build records etc).

Powered by a ‘twin cam’ 1726cc straight-six engine (based on Percy Riley’s famous 9, modified by Hugh Rose and associated with ERA) mated to an Armstrong-Siddeley built four speed Wilson preselector gearbox, the 15/6 Kestrel was reputedly capable of 80mph and was the last six cylinder Riley. Only nine 15/6 Kestrels are thought to have survived due to the ravages of time and special builders.First registered on the 21st May 1937 as ‘AWS 382’, this rare 15/6 Kestrel is believed to have been supplied new to Mr H W Haldane of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is believed that he would keep ‘AWS 382’ until 1947, and the second buff continuation logbook records that it was purchased by Stephen Wallis of Palmerston Place Lane. In 1955, W.A Angell acquired the 15/6 from Edinburgh Motor Engineering Co Ltd and he would own the car for the next 59 years, covering only minimal mileage in that period.Fast forward to 2014, the Kestrel was discovered and purchased by Riley Register member Duncan Whyte who immediately recognised that this car was significantly well-preserved and conducted a full mechanical overhaul with a view to preserve as much originality as possible. The engine was overhauled by marque specialist Ian MacFarlane which included new white metal bearings and the fitment of ‘Sprite’ specification camshafts from Kent Cams. When back on the road, ‘AWS 382’ became wildly recognised as 'the most original Kestrel left in existence' and has won awards at events for this attribute.The vendor, who is a senior member of Riley Register also, purchased the rare Saloon in 2020 and during his ownership, he has become well known for using it extensively for many Riley events. In 2021, esteemed motoring magazine The Automobile compiled an article about the car, in which it was positively described. Within his ownership, the vendor has replaced most of the ignition system to aid good-running, and describes the car as being in ‘very good to excellent’ mechanical fettle. He has advised the only thing he personally feels necessary to do would be to replace the original wiring loom. Confidently described as a ‘true connoisseur’s Riley’, the original leatherwork remains very much intact, along with the original rear window blind and stringing.Now offered to market, as the vendor has other Rileys that require a substantial amount of his time, this is an excellent opportunity for any collector to own a true time-warp that simply could not be replicated.

Registration No: BF 8528 Chassis No: 60316 MOT: Exempt1 of only 1,000 Mk1s manufactured and 1 of just a handful thought to surviveBoasting its original two-seater Tourer with Dickey coachwork by United Motor Body Ltd. in AustraliaSubject to a comprehensive restoration during the 1980sUpgraded sensibly with a more modern radiator and discrete coil conversionIt is no exaggeration to say that the appearance of the 1100cc 9hp Riley at the Olympia Show in October 1926 revolutionised concepts of light car design - its lower build, outstanding handling, and good brakes, the products of careful detail design, were matched by the strong, light and advanced engine, which developed remarkable power for its modest size and began a chain of development that continued until well after WWII and also spawned the E.R.A. racing voiturettes, the most successful British racing cars of their time. Breathing efficiently through hemispherical combustion chambers and 45-degree overhead valves opened by short pushrods from twin high-set camshafts, the unit simply wanted to rev and permitted a lowish rear axle ratio that in turn gave good acceleration. The 4-speed gearbox was a joy to use. Apart from a handful of obscure, low-volume specialised sports cars, no other light car produced in similar quantities offered anything comparable.A very early Mk1 Nine, of which just a handful are thought to survive, chassis number ‘60316’ was ordered on the 27th of September 1927 and thereafter was delivered to shipping agent Tozer, Kemsley, and Millbourne on the 15th of November that year. Bodied in two-seater Tourer coachwork with Dickey seat by United Motor Body Ltd. of Australia, the Nine was known to have been in the possession of Noel Wyatt (a (late) well-known Riley club member) in 1949/1950, before being sold on by him in 1955 when a self-proclaimed ‘impoverished university student’. When Mr. Wyatt was invited to see a collection of Rileys in Australia in the 1970s, he was amazed to be shown a large collection which happened to contain the remains of ‘60316’, encompassing just the chassis and bodywork. After ten years of attempting to persuade the collection owner to sell the Riley back to him, he was successful in purchasing it in 1983.Lavished a full restoration including a new ash frame, coachwork restored, and a correct type axle, engine, and gearbox sourced, the restoration was completed in 1993. Finished in Maroon paintwork with Black wings and a Black hood, the Riley has a complementary Maroon leather interior. Repatriated in 2018 and registered ‘BF 8528’, shortly afterwards the Riley achieved 2nd place in the Vintage Open class at the Riley Register Rally 2018. Acquired by the vendor five years ago, since then used for an annual long weekend camping trip, lengthy classic car runs, and local trips, the Riley has been improved during his ownership with five new tyres in 2022 and full re-wiring at the end of last year.Featuring in ‘Australian Coach Built Cars’ by David Trunfull, a disc of restoration images, a collection of invoices, images while in Australia, information on Australian bodied Rileys, and a V5C document also accompany. The Riley has been sensibly upgraded with a modern radiator in the original radiator core, a coil conversion but with the magneto in-situ for appearances, and discrete indicators. With around 1,000 Mk1 Nines manufactured and just a handful thought to survive, this highly rare Nine which pleasingly sports its original coachwork started readily and ran well during the recent photography session.

Registration No: AXW 2 Chassis No: B86AH MOT: ExemptOn offer at No Reserve from a deceased estateOrdered at the 1933 Earls Court Motor Show and delivered to Dr I.W Magill in May 1934One of 36 bodied with James Young Drophead Coupé CoachworkIn the ownership of only two owners from new, with the current family of the deceased estate having custodianship since 1974Offered with one of the most extensive history files we have had the pleasure of handling, complete with three box files of history, including invoices for restoration in the 1970s and 1990s, buff logbook, correspondence with the original owner and chassis cardsAt the dawn of the 1930s with the reverberations of 'Black Friday' (29/10/1929) being felt worldwide, competition between carmakers grew increasingly desperate. Thus, while WO Bentley sought to refine his 8 litre into the ultimate luxury carriage, Rolls-Royce responded by dabbling with a sports car concept. Their concerns as to the branding of 'Peregrine' (as the project was labelled internally) were alleviated by Bentley's collapse in 1931. Outflanking rivals D. Napier & Son, they acquired Bentley wholesale (including WO's services) for £125,257. With a department brief that "the new car must be as unlike the Rolls-Royce models as possible" Derby engineers set about preparing 'Peregrine' for flight. Built on a 'double-dropped' chassis carrying all round semi-elliptic leaf sprung suspension and assisted drum brakes, the new car used a tuned version of the Rolls-Royce 20/25's 3669cc OHV straight-six. Boasting twin SU carburettors, a wilder camshaft, strengthened con-rods and a higher compression ratio, this revamped unit developed around 120bhp (a fifty percent improvement) without compromising on refinement. Equipped with the 20/25's four-speed manual gearbox, high-geared worm and nut steering and hydraulic dampers, the resultant 'Silent Sportscar' - as the Bentley 3.5 litre soon became known - was unveiled to great acclaim at the August 1933 Ascot Races.Ordered at the Earls Court Motor Show in 1933 through Pass and Joyce Ltd, chassis B86AH was the second of 36 Derby Bentleys to be bodied by James Young in Drophead Coupé form. The chassis card records on file suggests that the chassis was despatched to James Young on the 6th April 1934, and the completed car would be first registered as ‘AXW 2’ on the 17th May 1934 to Dr Ivan Magill initially of 11 Wimpole Street. Magill was an Irish-born anaesthetist who would become recognised as one of the founding fathers of anaesthesia and would also become known for inventing the Magill forceps which are still regularly used in surgery today – he would be knighted Sir Ivan Magill by Queen Elizabeth II in 1960.The buff logbook on file suggests that Magill kept the car for over thirty years, with his latest vehicle excise duty entry in 1967. A handwritten letter dated 1971 from Dr Magill to the late second owner, Brigadier Blackburn, advises that he had covered some 180,000 miles in his ownership and had originally paid £1650 for the completed car when new. Later, when the Bentley became mechanically tired, he sold it for just £150, after attempting to revive the engine which was notably thirsty on oil at this point. It appears that the car would be sat unloved from the end of Magill’s ownership until the late Brigadier Blackburn purchased it in 1971 and was in quite a state when it was taken on. It was decided at this point that a full restoration would be undertaken and the Bentley would be entrusted to family member Nick Harley in Winkleigh to perform it. Just three years later, ‘AXW 2’ emerged transformed.Brigadier Blackburn was to use the car extensively for the rest of his life, and his daughter and the vendor for the sale recalls that he took his family and the car to Germany and Singapore for his many postings as a military officer. The car would constantly be maintained by various specialists, and there is an utterly exhaustive stack of invoices from various specialists for works including body repairs, trimming repairs internally and externally and of course mechanical maintenance. It is noted that the Bentley would also be MOT’d every year, proving that the Brigadier kept the car constantly ready for action. The latest invoices on file are from specialists Richard Parsons and A&D Engineering in 2019 for works to the clutch and transmission and for an overhaul of the engine in 2008.Tragically, Brigadier Blackburn passed away in 2023 after a long-term health condition and his daughter (and regular car and boat adventure partner) inherited the Drophead Bentley from his estate. The vendor has tried as best as possible to keep the Bentley running and has prepared the car for sale by getting it running after a blocked fuel line to the solid-state fuel pump caused non-starting. Upon H&H’s inspection, we noted that the Bentley is in overall solid condition and when recently driven for the photoshoot it fired into life with relative ease, but we do advise a full mechanical check over due to the car having been sat briefly. Thanks to the obvious love that the late long-term owner had for B86AH, it has developed a delightful patina that can only be accumulated through using the car – and the history file indicating various days out to Bentley Drivers’ Club events at home and abroad attests to its condition. Prospective owners may wish to improve the car’s cosmetic appearance if they have the taste for concours displays, however, they may also be perfectly happy with its very usable ‘driver’ condition. Now, excitingly offered to the market for the first time in over fifty years, ‘AXW 2’ is to be sold without reserve.

Registration No: UW 2726 Chassis No: GX026 MOT: ExemptMatching chassis and engine numbersDisplayed at the 1929 Olympia Motor Show and then supplied new to Alfred Sainsbury of the famous grocery chainRecently retrimmed interior, new hood and tonneau cover by David Beswick coach trimmingBought by the previous owner in 1994 as a restored rolling chassis with the coachwork includedRe-bodied as a four-seater Tourer reputedly using a Tony Robinson bodyRestoration completed in 1997 and then used on many continental tours soon after A logical progression from Rolls-Royce's first ‘owner driver' model the 20hp, the 20/25hp was introduced in 1929. Near identical to its forebear, at least to begin with, the newcomer enjoyed a greater turn of speed thanks to an enlarged 3669cc OHV straight-six engine. Fed by a single Rolls-Royce carburettor and carrying both magneto and coil ignition, the super-smooth powerplant was mounted in unit with a four-speed manual gearbox (the latter operated via a traditional right-hand change). Capable of supporting a wide variety of coachwork, the 20/25hp's substantial ladder frame chassis was equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, four-wheel drum brakes and a mechanical servo. Progressively developed, the Rolls-Royce 20/25hp remained in production until 1936 by which time some 3,827 are thought to have been sold.Chassis ‘GXO26’ was displayed at the 1929 Olympia Motor Show and was just the 15th example of the 20/25 sold to the public. Supplied new to Mr. Alfred Sainsbury of Queen Anne’s Mansions, W.1, London, an important member of the famous grocery chain (and was made a director of Sainsbury's when the company became a PLC), it began life as a H.J. Mulliner-bodied Weymann Saloon, the original coachwork had long since fallen into disrepair by the time the previous owner acquired the Rolls-Royce in 1994. In fact, at that time the 20/25 existed as a well restored rolling chassis with a handsome, but yet to be fitted, four-seater Tourer body which is thought to have been crafted by the esteemed coachbuilder Tony Robinson. The restoration project was completed by 1997, with the former keeper subsequently enjoying ‘UW 2726’ on a number of Continental Tours.As part of the restoration works, the interior was re-upholstered and a new hood and tonneau cover made by David Beswick Coach Trimming costing some £7,000 in trimming alone. Boasting a dynamo starter and full flow oil filter, the Rolls-Royce is said to possess ‘very good oil pressure’, not to mention ‘a fully functional central chassis lubrication system’. Having had its brakes relined c.5,000 miles ago, the 20/25 was offered through H&H after twenty-seven years of ownership and sold into the current late ownership for £92,250 in 2021. Thereafter, used and enjoyed by the late vendor alongside his other classic cars, the 20/25 is accompanied by copies of the RREC chassis card records, a collection of invoices and previous MOT certificates, and a current V5C Registration Document. A very pretty Tourer bodied 20/25, and boasting matching numbers chassis and engine number, the example offered here takes some beating.

As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering, and servo-backed disc / drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell, the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph.Finished in Red complemented to a Black vinyl interior, 'GMA 960N' is a desirable manual transmission example fitted with overdrive. Just before the Stag's current ownership, it was subject to an extensive restoration in 2010. A detailed photographic record is included in the sale evidencing the bodywork being restored and repainted, with the engine, gearbox, suspension, and braking system also being overhauled. Displaying a credible c.60,000, 'GMA 960N' has recently been subject to some light recommissioning due to a period of storage, with Price & Joy Classics being entrusted to carry out the work. This work included fresh engine and gearbox oil, new gaskets and hoses plus a new SU fuel pump and more, with the cost coming to £4,282.45.

Registration No: 5256 BH Chassis No: EB2471940 MOT: September 2025Engine previously replaced with a 'standard FWE engine' mated to an MG gearboxOwned by a Lotus enthusiastOffered with restoration invoices, letters, notes and old MOT certificatesUnveiled at the 1957 London Motor Show, the Elite (Type 14) was not only Colin Chapman's first production road car but also the world's first fibreglass monocoque (a contributory factor to its reputed 684kg kerb weight). Perhaps influenced by the FIA's recently introduced 1300cc GT racing class, the newcomer's specification included F2-derived all-round independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes (inboard at the rear). Powered by a Coventry-Climax SOHC four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission, the basic variant claimed a top speed of over 120mph.The work of Peter Kirwin-Taylor, aerodynamicist Frank Costin and John Frayling, the Coupe's super sleek silhouette is still considered a masterpiece. Unsurprisingly, given its radical design (and Chapman's budget constraints), the first running prototype did not emerge until May 10th, 1958. Driven straight to Silverstone by Ian Walker, it promptly won a production sports car race against 1600cc opposition. As successful abroad as on British circuits, the Elite won its class at Le Mans every year from 1959-1964.Finished in Lotus Red with a Black interior, ‘BH’ is thought to have begun life as a ‘Super 95’ model (the 1973 VE60 recording ‘Super 95’), it's certainly equipped with ‘Super 95’ features including the fuel cap, ashtrays, bonnet duct etc, although it has been fitted with a ‘standard FWE engine’ at some stage. Registered on 1st January 1963, the early history of ‘BH’ is unknown, but the RF60 logbook states Lenham Sports Cars as the recorded keeper in October 1973, before passing to Kevin Sykes of Kent in March 1974. A letter on file indicates restoration during the 1980s, with supportive invoices plus the fitting of the current ‘standard’ specification FWE engine and MG gearbox as it was purchased minus the original engine. According to the vendor, the current FWE engine is thought to have covered the same mileage as the car post-restoration (c.7,411 miles), when it's likely the odometer was zeroed with an engine possibly rebuilt. We are unaware of any evidence for this.‘BH’ appears to have been used very occasionally, with six old MOTs dating between 1973 and 2021, indicating a total mileage not exceeding 4,000 during this period. Evident from the MOT records, ‘BH’ is believed to have only covered some 7,411 miles in 50 years! The current Lotus enthusiast owner of ‘BH’ acquired the car from Paul Matty Sports Cars Ltd as a light project in 2019 following a period of storage and has since carried out restoration works that have included a brake and suspension overhaul, fitting of new SU carburettors, replacement fuel pump and an overhaul of the water pump etc. Prior to the current MOT (Expiry date 10th September 2025), it was last MOT’d in 2021. ‘BH’ has seen little use in the present keeper’s hands, due to health hiccups, but it is in running order and said to have a ‘particularly nice gearbox’. The history file includes the current V5C Registration Document recording 4 former keepers, the 1973 VE60, a quantity of restoration invoices, letters, notes, and old MOTs and a purchase invoice.

Registration No: YOR 40 Chassis No: 70512 MOT: ExemptOn offer from the estate of the late David NevePurchased from H&H by the later owner fr, having been subject to a previous full restorationA rewarding recommissioning projectIntroduced in 1953 as the 'fend', after its co-designer Fritz Fend, the KR175 Kabinenroller (scooter with cabin) was soon marketed under the more famous Messerschmitt name. The narrow body and corresponding low frontal area was achieved with tandem seating and handlebar controls which also allowed the body to taper like an aircraft fuselage. Powered by a two-stroke 148cc Fichtel & Sachs engine that produced a modest 9bhp, the fuel consumption was reported to be 87mpg with a top speed of 55mph. In 1955, an improved KR200 was introduced with a larger 191cc engine, revised bodywork, an improved turning circle and floor-mounted accelerator and clutch. The tandem seating allowed centralised weight distribution irrespective of occupants, avoiding the flawed logic of the Isetta's lop-sided engine arrangement, and providing the little tricycle with handling characteristics that outclassed its contemporaries. Four forward and four reverse gears made for rapid progress in either direction with a top speed of 62mph. Available in the UK from 1955 onwards, production ceased in 1964 after some 30,000 KR200s had been built.According to the Dating Certificate on file, chassis 70512 was originally supplied by Cabin Scooters (Assemblies) Ltd on the 19th March 1959. It is understood that the car was well known in club circles, however, it was then laid up for approximately forty years before being acquired by the previous owner and treated to a comprehensive restoration using only original and club-supplied parts, during which the engine and transmission were overhauled by a club specialist. Re-registered after restoration in 2018 and used sparingly by the previous owner for only one year after, the tandem-seater was then sold by H&H at our March 2019 Duxford sale.The late owner and father of the vendor, Mr David Neve, was the gentleman who would acquire the Messerschmitt from the auction, and it would become the jewel of his collection. Mr Neve’s son recalls that his father was exceptionally proud of his microcars and would often be seen around Norfolk at different car shows. Mr Neve’s declining health meant that his collection had not been used for some years, so the KR200 will require some level of mechanical attention. ‘YOR 40’ is to be supplied with a modest history file consisting of the V5C and some Dating Certificate material from the club. H&H is honoured to have been entrusted to offer the car collection all at No Reserve at our Duxford Imperial War Museum sale.

Registration No: PKH 566F Chassis No: 11102422001236 MOT: Exempt1 of just 150 originally supplied in right-hand drive specificationPurchased by marque specialist restorers Heaney Motor Company and lavished with an exhaustive restoration being completed in 2018Under 4,000 miles covered since the completion of the restorationBoasting matching chassis and engine numbersPLEASE NOTE: The vendor informs that the vacuum central locking is not connected on the car.Introduced in mid-1959, the Mercedes-Benz W111 series was a natural progression from the 220 Pontoon. The new models were bigger inside and out and sported a greater abundance of brightwork; not to mention the finned rear wings which spawned the model's 'Fintail' nickname. In addition to the four-door Saloon, the range comprised an elegant two-door Cabriolet and Coupe designed by Paul Bracq. The cars were very well-appointed inside, being adorned with Mercedes textured leather and wood trimmings. The fully independent suspension comprised of wishbones and coil springs at the front and low-pivot swing-axles with radius arms and coil springs at the rear, the ride from which was very statesman-like.Originally the W111 Coupé was launched as the 220SE in late 1960, appointed with a straight-six 2,195cc engine and 160km/h top speed. This was followed in 1965 by the 250SE and then in November 1967, the 250 SE was superseded by the 280SE. It was powered by the new 2,778cc M130 engine, which produced 160hp (119kW) at 5500rpm. Top speed was hardly affected, but acceleration from 0-100km/h (62mph) improved to 10.5 seconds. Inside, the car received a wood veneer option on the dashboard and other minor changes, including door lock buttons and different heater levers. Despite its smaller engine, the 280SE could outperform the early 1950s M189-powered 300 SE, resulting in the more expensive model's retirement. In all, 3,797 examples of the 280SE Coupé were manufactured of which 150 were right-hand drive.Manufactured in July 1968, chassis ‘11102422001236’ was supplied new the Republic of Ireland and is understood to have resided there until 2008 when the Mercedes was entrusted to well-regarded Mercedes-Benz restorers Heaney Motor Company of Derry as a barn find on behalf of a customer. From there, the 280 was stripped to bare metal, the bodywork was fully restored with genuine Mercedes-Benz new old stock panels (that are practically unattainable now) fitted as required, before the Coupe was repainted in Anthrazit Grau Metallic. The interior upholstery was fully retrimmed in Mulberry Red leather with a wool velour mix carpet set and factory specification headlining. The woodwork was veneered and lacquered, with extensive rechroming outside. Unfortunately, the restoration stalled at this point and Coupe was put to the side for numerous years.The mechanical restoration started in 2018 when a new customer requested that Heaney continue their restoration work and chassis ‘001236’ was provided brakes renewal; new springs and shock absorbers installed; the engine and gearbox refreshed; radiator re-cored; full new exhaust system; amongst much further mechanical renovation. Full details of the restoration work are available on request, with Heaney informing us that the Coupe received everything required. Provided with a Northern Ireland MOT certificate in December 2018 with 2,214 miles on the odometer, the 280 SE Coupe was thereafter road tested for 500 miles to iron out. Purchased by a significant collector in 2019, ‘PKH 566F’ has covered just 1,100 further miles to date and is therefore still exceptionally fresh since the completion of the restoration. Supplied with current V5C document, Mercedes-Benz manufacturers confirmation letter, copy of the data card, documented breakdown of the restoration work, and letter from Heaney about the car.A matching chassis and engine numbers example, this 280 SE Coupe has very rare factory features such as electric windows and electric sunroof that were usually exclusively for the 3.5-litre cars. With Heaney estimating that the restoration cost was in the region of £80,000 - £85,000 (without the car's initial purchase price), this 280 SE Coupe has much to recommend it.

Utilising the same running gear as its Carina sibling but in a smaller, lighter and sportier package, the newcomer was a strong seller in Japan and served as something of a halo model in North America and Europe. Better built than many of its rivals on the latter two continents, the Toyota was also an early adopter of five-speed manual transmission. Performance was class competitive and running costs admirably low. The Celica proved its worth in competition too both as a rally car and circuit racer. A fan of the first generation Toyota Celica since its launch, the vendor could not resist acquiring ‘NTL 51P’ when it was advertised locally. An aeronautical engineer by profession, he was undeterred by the Coupe’s forlorn appearance. Determined to return it to showroom condition, he undertook much of the work himself over the next four and a half years. Consulting with marque specialists and taking the time to source correct-type replacement parts where necessary, he spent £12,000 on the professional repaint alone. The interior was retrimmed with new leather, carpets and door card inlays. The 1.6 litre engine received new pistons and liners as part of its overhaul, while the five-speed gearbox and differential were treated to new bearings etc. A custom exhaust system was fabricated and the wheels refurbished. Deemed by the seller to ‘look, feel and drive as it would have done in the mid-1970s’, the notchback coupe is only coming to market to make room for a new project. Worthy of close inspection having had more manhours and money lavished on it than most surviving first generation Celicas, ‘NTL 51P’ has covered a mere 100 or so post-completion miles.

Although the newcomer was primarily aimed at owner drivers, many examples were nevertheless sold to customers with chauffeurs. The four-speed manual gearbox featured the manufacturer's traditional right-hand change and was equipped with synchromesh on the top two ratios from 1932 onwards. The substantial chassis sported rigid axles front and rear, suspended on semi-elliptic leaf springs. The four-wheeled braking was mechanically servo-assisted. Power came from an enlarged version of the straight-six OHV unit used in the 20hp. Now displacing 3,699cc, it made for swifter acceleration and a higher top speed of up to 75mph. The increased capacity of some 570cc gave useful extra power and allowed coachbuilders of the day to experiment and offer more intricate body styles without impeding performance.As before, the choice of bodywork for each 20/25 was to the taste of each individual customer, and Freestone & Webb, Gurney Nutting, Park Ward, Thrupp & Maberly, Mulliner and Hooper were among the many coachbuilders selected to clothe these fine motorcars. Usefully faster than its 20hp predecessor, the model remained in production until 1936 by which time some 3,827 had been sold, making it the company’s best-selling model between the wars.A notably elegant example with Park Ward Sedanca de Ville coachwork and division, chassis GGA 68 was supplied new to Lieutenant Colonel S.S.G Cohen and has been in long-term family ownership since 1980. Understood to have had low previous ownership the Rolls-Royce displays 55,917 miles and is said to be a 'well-maintained' example that was the subject of a re-wire in 2009. Benefitting from matching chassis and engine number, GGA 68 is offered with buff logbook, collection of invoices, old MOTs plus tax discs and a current V5C document.

Registration No: RLO 378E Chassis No: 1D52760BW MOT: ExemptPurchased by world famous singer, Madonna, for her son Rocco RitchieSubject to much recent work including a full repaint into Opalescent MaroonThe 'rarest' MkX, being a 4.2 Litre example pre-420GSupplied with original green logbook and service plan document issued by the supplying dealer, University Motors LtdInitially developed as Jaguar's replacement for the chassis constructed MkIX and given the in-house codename "Zenith", the Jaguar Mark X (Ten) was the British manufacturer's top-of-the-range saloon car throughout the 1960s. The large and luxurious MkX was primarily aimed at the North American market, with the company hoping that the car would appeal to heads of state, diplomats and film stars. Introduced in the same year as Jaguar's iconic E-Type, the MkX impressed with its technical specification and innovations. Unlike its predecessors, the car featured integrated unitary bodywork, the largest car constructed this way in the UK at the time, as well as independent rear suspension which was completely unheard of on early 1960s British luxury cars. Initally fitted with the same 3.8-litre, triple carburettor XK engine with straight port cylinder head as fitted to the E-Type, it gave Jaguar's flagship a top speed of 120 mph and capable handling at less than half the price of the contemporary Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. The Mark X introduced a new slightly forward-leaning nose design for Jaguar saloons, with its four headlamps set into rounded front fenders and a vaned grille. This front-end style was used on many of the manufacturer's later cars, forging Jaguar’s look for almost half a century. In 1964, in line with the E-Type, the MkX's power unit would be upgraded with a 4.2 Litre XK unit in place of the 3.8 Litre which could be coupled to either an updated Borg Warner automatic transmission (a Type 8 rather than a DG) or the same full syncromesh gearbox as its Sports Car sister. Only in production for two years, the 4.2 Litre MkX was replaced by the 420G in 1967, and remains the rarest MkX with only 5,137 built.‘RLO 378E’ was first registered by University Motors Ltd of Richmond on 17th May 1967 and then sold to Flaskett Ltd of Kingston-on-Thames on the 22nd December 1967. We then know it was the subject of some restoration work in 1995 and by the late 1990s emerged from dry storage before being acquired by Mr G Birks (Birks MotorWorks) and recommissioned in 2010. The Jaguar would be sold onto another owner before being purchased by Madonna for her son, Rocco Ritchie in 2021.Rocco decided to have the car stripped back to bare metal, welded and repainted in Opalescent Maroon, in addition, the XK engine benefitted from an overhaul which included a rebore and new pistons. The interior was treated to a refresh and fitted with a reversing camera to aid manoeuvring. Works were completed in 2022. Rocco has used the car extensively; regularly appearing with it at several exhibitions that display his artwork. Madonna used the Jaguar for a 2024 photoshoot that appeared on Instagram, captioned 'Mood in LNDN'. Kept at Madonna’s address throughout Rocco’s custodianship, the MkX is being offered to market directly from him. Rocco describes the car as being in overall ‘good condition’ although the engine is ticking slightly and he feels it requires looking into. Used in London, the paintwork has suffered some small dings that may need attention, although Rocco describes it as looking ‘good’ overall.

Registration No: P846 LJH Chassis No: SCBZP15C8VCH60202 MOT: January 2025Just 1 of 823 LWB examples producedJust 42,100 miles from new and in current ownership for the last 8 yearsFinished in Metallic Wildberry, Cream leather interior with Maroon piped seatsOffered with an extensive service history Introduced at the 1982 Geneva Motor Show, the Mulsanne Turbo signalled a revival in the winged 'B's fortunes. Somewhat raffish when compared to its Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit sibling, the Turbo breathed new life into Bentley sales. Indeed, in some ways, this glorious automotive wolf in (large) sheep's clothing can be credited with inspiring Bentley's victorious return to Le Mans. With some 300bhp courtesy of its force-fed 6.75 litre V8, the Mulsanne Turbo was reputedly capable of an easy 135mph and 0-60mph in under seven seconds. Although, for those not wishing to indulge in such prodigious performance, its smooth automatic transmission and supple independent suspension also allowed for more dignified progress. Debuting in March 1985, the evolutionary Turbo R provided an altogether more focused driving experience. Benefiting from an uprated torque converter, more horsepower, stiffer anti-roll bars and firmer damping, its handling drew considerable praise from the contemporary motoring press.First registered on 9th May 1997, 'P846 LJH' is said to be 1 of 823 LWB examples built. Finished in the attractive combination of Metallic Wildberry and Cream leather with Maroon piping and complementing Maroon carpets with lambswool over-rugs, it has resided in current ownership since 2016. After 8 years of current ownership, the odometer still displays a modest mileage of just c.42,100 miles. There is an extensive service history held within a comprehensive history file, evidencing over £16,000 pounds of expenditure over the last 8 years, in the hands of the current keeper, with specialists including well-known Michael Hibberd Rolls-Royce and Bentley Specialists. In June 2023, the following work was carried out by them: The re-seal of the brake pumps, bleeding of the brakes, new brake hoses, new front pads, anti-roll bar links, a new water pump, new plugs, throttle linkages, engine drive-belt set, air-conditioning belt, door seals, rear engine mountings, the Waxoyling of the underside, a check of the AC system and the replacement of the seat ECU module and knock sensors. Offered with a current V5C, MOT paperwork and invoices provided in a comprehensive file, this LWB Turbo R is ready for the next custodian to enjoy.
