1953 Austin A90 Atlantic- A rare survivor and surely the perfect addition to an Austin-Healey stable- Used as a course pace car at the Goodwood Revival in 2016- Original buff log book, registration number, handbooks and workshop manual The Atlantic was a brave attempt by Austin to chime with the Government's 'Export or die' edict courtesy of a car aimed firmly at the American market. Ultimately the unashamed Uncle Sam styling and myriad of innovative features captured just 350 US buyers, and even global sales were limited to 7,981. It is estimated that fewer than 30 remain roadworthy in the UK, making this handsome restored example all the more rare and desirable. Delivered new in 1953 to a Doctor Howard Samson of London it received a bare metal respray in 2013 and has been in the current ownership since 2013. Used as a course pace car at the Goodwood Revival in 2016, the Austin benefits from a stainless steel exhaust, new tyres and a recent brake overhaul, and comes complete with: original buff log book, registration number, handbooks and workshop manual; collection of invoices and old MOTs; plus photos of the restoration. The vendor currently classes the paintwork, bodywork, interior and engine as 'excellent' however advises first gear needs attention. Surely the perfect addition to an Austin-Healey stable.

1970 Chesil 356 Speedster- Looks every inch like the real thing- Complete with instruction manual and collection of old MOTs - 2-litre enginePorsche created the Speedster at the request of its North American importer, Max Hoffman. He was having great success with the 356 Coupe, but was convinced he could rival the coincident British Roadsters if armed with an open variant of the car. The Speedster was born in 1954 by creating a cut-down version of the Cabriolet with all creature comforts removed. The spartan cockpit featured lightweight bucket seats with fixed backrests, and instrumentation was limited to a speedometer and temperature gauge. The car was an instant hit, particularly in Southern California. The peak year was 1957, when the best looking versions were made and it is these iconic cars that the British-built Chesil evocation recalls. Looking every inch the real thing, `DPK 43J' is described by the vendor as `very good' in terms of its Silver paintwork, Cream-coloured interior trim, 2-litre engine etc, and comes complete with instruction manual, collection of old MOTs plus invoices and a fresh MOT certificate

1934 Daimler 15hp Saloon- Well maintained example and restored in 2003- Original parts catalogue, instruction manuals and green logbook- MOT'd into February 2019 although exemptRenowned for its large, luxury motorcars, Daimler had to cut its cloth to suit the times, and its answer to the Great Depression was the Fifteen. Launched in 1932, it was the first Daimler priced at less than £500 since the Great War and its name was derived from its tax rating of 15hp. Initially of 1805 cc, its six-cylinder OHV engine drove through the company's proven fluid flywheel transmission with Wilson pre-selective gearchange. By 1934, the engine capacity had been increased to 2003cc, as per the sale car. A well maintained example finished in two-tone Grey and trimmed in Red leather, 'BPC 593' was restored in 2003 and last year treated to a top end engine overhaul. The vendor regards the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission as all being in 'excellent' condition, and is offering the Daimler complete with original parts catalogue, instruction manuals and green logbook, plus an MOT into February 2019.

1994 Toyota Supra- A one-owner vehicle from new- Understood to be one of just 250 genuine UK specification examples made- Resprayed in 2013 With its sizeable tail spoiler and bonnet scoop Toyota's A80 model Supra Turbo certainly displayed the hallmarks of a performance 2+2, yet few British drivers will have experienced its full potential, as the sale car is understood to be one of just 250 genuine UK specification examples made. Think 320bhp resulting in a 0-60mph acceleration time in the mid 4 second bracket and an electronically-limited top speed of 155mph, rising to nearer 180mph if unfettered - ie serious performance even by today's standards. This particular 'wolf in sheep's clothing' is finished in Black and trimmed in Beige leather and its 2997cc twin turbo straight-six engine is teamed with the optional four-speed automatic transmission. A one-owner vehicle, it was resprayed in 2013 and the vendor currently considers the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and gearbox to all be in 'very good' order. 'L636 OWE' presently displays 138,439 total miles and will be offered with a fresh MOT by the time of sale.

1999 Jaguar XKR Convertible- Metallic Blue matched to a Cream leather interior- 46,000 miles from new and just 3 previous keepers- Original book pack, handbooks and service bookThe sleek-looking Jaguar XK8 first broke cover at the 1996 Geneva Salon as a replacement for the ageing XJS. Designed in-house by Geoff Lawson, the newcomer (in common with the Aston Martin DB7) was based on a much modified XJS platform - the changes to which included the adoption of XJ40-type independent rear suspension. The standard version of the XK8 was powered by a 290bhp normally-aspirated version of the company's AJ26 V8 engine, and for those requiring more performance Jaguar offered a supercharged version, the mighty XKR. Like the XK8, this 370bhp monster was available in closed or open guise and could hit 60mph in a whisker over five seconds and power quickly to the electronically-limited top speed of 155mph. Finished in Metallic Blue matched to a Cream leather interior 'T292 XVO' has only covered 46,000 miles from new and has had just 3 previous keepers. Offered with original book pack, handbooks and service book, it is MOT'd into September 2018.

1992 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evolution- In the current ownership since 2007, detailed history file- Engine replaced at c.170,000 km (c.30,000 km ago)- Rosso Red with Green alcantara interior, French registeredThe Giugiaro-penned Delta range was launched in 1979. The ensuing HF Integrale versions boasted four-wheel drive and turbocharged power, modified versions of which dominated the World Rally Championship between 1987 and 1992. The Evolution I models of 1991/1992 were the final batch of 'homologation specials' and featured wider track front and rear, extended wheel arches and adjustable roof spoiler.This example in Rosso with green alcantara trim has been in the vendor's ownership since 2007 and is accompanied by a detailed history file containing numerous invoices for works carried out. These include a replacement engine being fitted by John Whalley at c.176,000 km together with a further c.£12,000 being spent in 2012 on attention to the bodywork and mechanicals. Currently French registered, the car has completed a number of Tours de Mont Blanc and displays some 199,000 km. It is said to drive extremely well although there is some smoke from the turbo when hot. The stem seals and cambelt were replaced in November 2017 by David Thomas Garages. With values on the increase now is the time to acquire a sensibly priced example of this legendary Lancia.

1952 Jaguar XK120 Roadster- Matching chassis, engine (block and head) and body numbers- The subject of a meticulous, chassis-up refurbishment that took over 1,400 hours and was completed in 2017- Supplied new to America and repatriated many years ago- Later acquired by Derek Hood of JD Classics as an unfinished project and sold to the vendor- Restoration documented via numerous photos and invoicesLaunched at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show, the Jaguar XK120 Roadster caused a sensation. Penned by Sir William Lyons, the model's sensuous lines seemed almost impossibly glamorous to a country still feeling the effects of rationing. While, the 120mph top speed that its name signified soon became the stuff of legend. Literally flooded with orders, Jaguar began limited hand-built production soon thereafter (although, it was not until 1950 that the factory was sufficiently 'tooled-up' to discard aluminium in favour of steel for the curvaceous bodywork). Based around a cruciform-braced box-section chassis equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and hydraulic drum brakes, the lithe two-seater proved equally adept on road or track winning both the RAC TT and Alpine Trial during 1950 (the former victory coming at the hands of Sir Stirling Moss). Credited with 160bhp and 190lbft of torque in standard tune, its legendary 3442cc DOHC straight-six engine was allied to four-speed manual transmission. Arguably, the defining sportscar of its generation, a perilously shaky post-WW2 British economy gave the Coventry manufacturer little choice but to concentrate on overseas sales.Manufactured on 19th August 1952 and finished in Birch Grey with Red leather upholstery, this particular example - chassis 672703 - was supplied new via Charles H. Hornburg Jr's Sunset Boulevard, California dealership. Perhaps a sign of its fundamental soundness, the Jaguar has passed through the hands of three renowned marque specialists since being repatriated namely John May of XK Developments (whose company applied for a Heritage Certificate in May 1999), John Gregson of Proteus Cars (and later Gregson-Polska) and Derek Hood of J.D. Classics. Purchased from the latter by the vendor during 2013, the XK120 had been partially stripped pending restoration. Pleasingly retaining its original chassis, engine and body, the two-seater was acquired as a retirement project. Completed late last year following over 1,400 hours of labour, the Jaguar's paintwork and trim were outsourced to professionals but the seller undertook the rest of its meticulous `nut and bolt' refurbishment himself. In many ways as impressive underneath as it is on top, the XK120 has been subtly upgraded with electronic ignition and disc front brakes. Road registered as `XVV 250', this decidedly smart Roadster is described by the vendor as being in `very good' (engine, gearbox) or `excellent' (bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment, interior trim) condition. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, MOT certificate valid until October 2018 and a wealth of photographs and invoices documenting its restoration. What better way to mark the XK120's 70th Anniversary this year than to buy `XVV 250' and enjoy it on the numerous upcoming celebratory events?

1959 Jaguar XK150 SE 3.8 Litre Drophead CoupePLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is of course a Drophead Coupe and not a Roadster as printed in the catalogue.- Distinctive cherished registration 'THE 150' - Subject to an older restoration circa 1995 - 3.8 engine and Borg Warner automatic gearbox - Supplied by Jaguar Cars New York, subsequently converted to RHD The final iteration of the XK sportscar line and the last Jaguar to carry a separate chassis, the XK150 was introduced in May 1957. While its use of independent torsion-bar front suspension, a 'live' leaf-sprung rear axle and rack-and-pinion steering mirrored the practice of its XK140 predecessor, the new model benefited from the option of all-round Dunlop disc brakes (though, in practice very few - if any - cars were delivered with drum brakes). Stylistically, the newcomer was brought up-to-date with less ostentatious curves and a larger, wrap-around single piece windscreen. The dashboard too was altered eschewing wood trim for padded leather. With the E-type still very much under development, Jaguar was keen to sustain the sporting reputation that a remarkable five Le Mans victories (1951, 1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957) had earned it. Initially powered by a 3442cc derivative of the marque's race-proven DOHC straight-six engine, the XK150 could be had in Fixed-Head Coupe, Open Two-Seater (Roadster) or Drophead Coupe guises. In the autumn of 1959 the model became available with the 3.8-litre engine which had debuted in the Mark IX saloon. 'Standard' (220bhp) or 'S' (265bhp) states of tune were offered and, despite the increased weight, power was more than enough to provide exhilarating performance, recording in excess of 130mph in numerous road tests. Special Equipment models featured wire wheels and a B-Type cylinder head whilst a Borg-Warner automatic gearbox option, as fitted here, became an increasingly popular option. Subject to an older restoration circa 1995, this well-presented XK150 is finished in Maroon with Biscuit leather and has the desirable 3.8-litre engine. It was supplied from new through Jaguar Cars New York to its first owner, a Dr DE Holler, with the Borg-Warner automatic gearbox option being specified. At some point, presumably during its restoration, the car has been converted to righthand drive. Described as being in "very good" condition with regard to its bodywork, paintwork, engine, transmission and interior, it is said to be a very usable and easy to drive classic and is offered with the most appropriate and highly desirable registration number 'THE 150'. For better handling the car sits on a set of modern radial tyres with wider wire wheels, however for the purist the car also comes with a set of cross-ply tyres mounted on the original size wire wheels. A Kenlowe fan is fitted for convenience under modern traffic conditions. The culmination of the XK range which could trace its roots back to the world-beating XK120, the XK150 offers wind-in-the-hair performance allied to comfort and safety in true Jaguar tradition.

2007 Bentley Arnage R- Retractable Flying B - Burr walnut door inlays and picnic trays- Comprehensive service history The Bentley Arnage and its Rolls-Royce sibling, the Silver Seraph, were phased in during the Spring of 1998 as replacements for derivatives of the long-serving Mulsanne (Bentley) and Silver Spirit (Rolls-Royce). The bodies for the new cars were built at the Bentley factory in Crewe, while the engines were outsourced. Initially available as a single model, the Arnage was powered by a DOHC 4.4-litre BMW engine force fed by twin turbochargers.However, it was around this time that Bentley passed into the hands of the Volkswagen Group and Rolls-Royce was acquired by BMW. Not surprisingly, BMW declined to see a rival marque powered by one of its engines, so Volkswagen was forced to find an alternative power plant for the Arnage. In fact the company sourced two and created the option of the Arnage Red Label and Arnage Green Label. The Red Label was initially powered by a Cosworth-built version of the Bentley's stalwart single-turbo OHV 6.75-litre V8, while the short-lived Green Label utilised a Bentley-modified version of the Arnage's original BMW unit. The Red label gave way to the Arnage R in 2002, which was itself upgraded in 2007. The revised engine featured a pair of Mitsubishi turbochargers and drove through a six-speed ZF automatic transmission. With 454bhp and a whopping 645 lb ft of torque, the new R could sprint to 60mph in 5.5 seconds and on to a top speed just shy of 170mph.This highly distinctive all Black Arnage R boasts this later specification. Its luxurious specification includes in-car phone system, part wood-rim steering wheel, burr walnut door inlays and picnic trays, and retractable 'Flying B' radiator mascot. Now registering a total mileage of 54,425, 'LK56 NHC' comes complete with full Bentley service records to 42,600 and marque specialist ones thereafter, a pair of keys, and a MOT valid to September 1.

1972 Volvo P1800 ES- Smartly-presented estate (ES) version- Current ownership since 2011- 65,700 recorded milesP1800 assembly was initially carried out by Jensen Motors but transferred to Sweden in April 1963. The original engine was replaced in 1969 by the 2-litre B20 unit, which was itself upgraded a year later with a revised camshaft and fuel injection. This facelifted model brought four wheel disc braking, plus a revised name to reflect the move away from carburation - P1800E. For many this distinctive Volvo model is best remembered as Roger Moore's steed in the cult TV series 'The Saint', which ran from 1962 until 1969. The smartly-presented estate (ES) version now offered features Red bodywork complemented by Black leather interior trim. It has been in the current ownership from 2011, since when the exhaust, windscreen and tyres have been professionally replaced. The vendor currently considers the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and manual transmission to all be in 'very good' order. The odometer currently displays an eminently credible 65,700 miles and the current MOT is valid into September.

1963 Ford Lotus Cortina- Quite possibly the earliest example on the road- Current ownership for the past twenty-four years and treated to an extensive, decade-long restoration- Runner-up at the Lotus Cortina national rally, Stratford-upon-Avon, 2017The Lotus Cortina is one of the most iconic of all fast Ford's, but good original specification ones are becoming ever-harder to find, which is what makes this particular pre-Airflow specimen particularly interesting. First registered in June 1963, it is believed to have been supplied ex-Cheshunt and is quite possibly the earliest example on the road. The subject of an extensive restoration over a 10 year period, '442 SJH' has remained within the same ownership for the last 24 years and features the correct period parts for a 1963 model, including: alloy bell housing, differential casing and body panels; A-frame rear suspension; and Black vinyl interior trim. The Lotus was runner-up at the Lotus Cortina national rally, Stratford-upon-Avon, 2017, and the vendor presently regards the bodywork, period correct White and Green paintwork, interior trim, 1558cc twin-cam engine and four-speed gearbox as all being in 'excellent' order. The car comes with original buff logbook and MOT to June 19th.Ford wished to race the MkI Cortina in Group 2, for which 1,000 'homologation specials' would be required. The obvious powerplant was the twin-cam version of the 'Kent' engine that Lotus's Colin Chapman developed for the Elan. A deal was struck and the Lotus Cortina was born. Homologation was granted in September '63 and the cars immediately showed potential. The following season Jim Clark won the British Saloon Car Championship in one and countless other laurels were accumulated in both racing and rallying. In addition to the aforementioned, the uprated specification included: close-ratio gearbox, shorter front suspension struts; trailing arms and coil springs with 'A' bracket at the rear; 5.5J steel wheels; front quarter bumpers; Lotus badges on the rear wings and right side of the radiator grille; new centre-console to house the remote control gear lever; different seats and facia; and a wood-rim steering wheel.

1964 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL- A rare right-hand drive example supplied new in Belfast on 24th June 1964, full DVLA ownership trace- Extensively mechanically, bodily and cosmetically restored since entering the current ownership as a 'garage find' five years ago- Pleasingly retains its original registration number and engine. Hardtop and soft-top roofs- c.£50,000 worth of recent expenditure much of it with Pagoda specialist Colin Ferns Ltd of RichmondAccompanied by a DVLA ownership trace which goes all the way back to its first keeper in Belfast, this rare right-hand drive 230SL previously belonged to a busy sea captain. Scarcely used from the 1990s onwards, the Mercedes-Benz was effectively a `garage find' when the vendor acquired it five years ago. Extensively mechanically, bodily and cosmetically restored since then with much of the work entrusted to renowned Pagoda specialist Colin Ferns Ltd of Richmond, the two-seater pleasingly retains its factory-fitted engine and four-speed manual gearbox. A comparatively early 230SL and thus notably lighter / sportier than its successors, `233 WZ' has been refinished in its original exterior livery (with the hubcaps correctly colour-coded to the hardtop). Reupholstered in leather rather than MB-Tex but using period authentic trim pieces made with the original factory tooling, the two-seater also boasts a fully refurbished / relined hardtop and brand new soft-top secured to the original rails. Describing it as `a wonderful car that starts on the button', the vendor notes a deep scratch to the passenger window but is not aware of any major issues. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, fresh MOT certificate, some service history dating back to the 1980s, recent invoices for circa £50,000 mostly with Colin Ferns Ltd and an insurance approved tracker (the latter requiring a subscription). Successor to both the exotic racebred 300SL 'Gullwing' Coupe and its humbler 190SL sibling, the W113-series SL proved more comfortable than the former and faster than the latter (a point emphasised by Eugen Bohringer's 1963 Liege-Sofia-Liege rally victory). First of the line, the 230SL was styled by Paul Bracq and introduced at the March 1963 Geneva Salon. Powered by a 2306cc straight-six engine mated to either four-speed manual or automatic transmission, it was credited with 150bhp / 159lbft and a 124mph top speed. Of the 48,912 W113-series cars made between 1963 and 1971, 19,831 were 230SLs (the vast majority of which were left-hand drive).

1997 Ferrari F355 Spider- 1 of just 454 examples- Treated to a cam belt and tensioner change in 2016, and resprainted in 2017- 34,607 miles from newMaranello's F355 proved to be its most popular model to date, with 11,273 examples produced between 1994 and 1999. Even so, only 454 of those were reputedly equipped with righthand drive, of which this gorgeous manual transmission Giallo Fly Yellow Spider (Convertible) is one. Manufactured in 1997, it was supplied new to its first owner by Maranello Concessionaires of Egham, Surrey, since when it has experienced four further keepers. In recent times the Black leather seats have been Connollised, while the car was serviced and treated to a cam belt and tensioner change in December of 2016, and the bodywork resprayed in 2017. We understand the mileage from new now totals 34,607 and the vendor views the bodywork, recently rejuvenated paintwork and interior trim, V8 engine and six-speed transmission as all being in `excellent' health. He is now offering `R355 NSN' complete with its original service book, workshop manual, and collection of invoices and old MOT certificates. The perfect classic for the British sun, when it finally appears!Ferrari's much vaunted F355 was a development of the mid-engined 348 and was ultimately made in the three guises of Berlinetta (Coupe), GTS (Targa Top) and Spider like the sale car. The notable difference between the engines of the 348 and 355 concerned the cylinder head, with those of the later car having five valves per cylinder for superior induction. This helped raise the output to a substantial 375bhp. Handsome by any standards, the F355 body was also notably aerodynamic, courtesy of hours of wind tunnel testing which, among other details, resulted in a diffuser that generated downforce at speed. Additional time was specifically allocated to air flow over the Spider's electronically powered soft top. The adjustable suspension gave the choice of `Comfort' or `Sport' modes. Power steering was standard but an unassisted system was also available.

1970/2005 Suffolk SS100 Evocation- Built by a professional engineer between 2000 and c.2005- GRP body with XJ6 4.2 engine, silver with blue interior & hood- From a deceased estate, just c.600 miles since buildAmong the first of William Lyons' creations to utilise the Jaguar name, the SS Jaguar 100 entered pre-production in October 1935. Dynamically honed by chief engineer William Heynes and marketed as being `primarily intended for competition work and sufficiently tractable as a fast tourer without modification', the first Jaguar sports car enjoyed a successful racing / rallying career and is now extremely sought after by collectors. It is perhaps no surprise that such an iconic design would be imitated using more modern mechanicals and examples produced by Suffolk Engineering are amongst the best available.Correspondence and invoices in the accompanying history file from Suffolk detail the ordering and build of VAT 850H between 2000 and 2005. Constructed by a professional engineer who had been a development engineer at Marcos in the 1960s, it has seen little use since completion (including outings on the Mendip Rally) and now registers just some 633 miles. Utilising a 1970 Jaguar 4.2 XJ6 as a donor vehicle, whose identity it retains on the V5C document, the car is being reluctantly offered for sale by the family of the late-owner who was a keen Jaguar collector. Finished strikingly in silver with blue leather and blue carpet, the paintwork has some micro-blistering in areas although we feel the car could easily be enjoyed 'as is'. Benefiting from a recent mechanical check over this GRP-bodied evocation of one of the most beautiful pre-War designs has manual overdrive transmission and comes with its original build manual, sundry invoices and correspondence, Jaguar SS sales brochure, framed pencil drawing of the car by a local artist and current MoT.

1954 Citroen Light 15 Traction Avant- Slough-built Traction Avant supplied new by Castle Garage (Cardiff) Ltd- Extensively restored by its previous keeper between 1993-1999 (documented on an accompanying CD)- High ratio crown wheel and pinion, auxiliary power socket for sat-nav etc, reversing lamp- Optional wing guards, working / non-leaking sunroof- Original supplier's plaque and buff logbook- Recent £4,000 expenditure including new driveshaftsIntroduced at the April 1934 Paris Salon, the Traction Avant was a technological tour-de-force thanks to its unique combination of a monocoque chassis, front-wheel drive, torsion bar independent suspension, hydraulic brakes and (from 1936) rack and pinion steering. Powered by a 1911cc four-cylinder OHV engine allied to manual transmission, the Light 15 versions produced at Citroen's Slough factory boasted wooden dashboards, leather upholstery and 12-volt electrics. Pleasingly retaining its original buff logbook and a supplier's plaque from Castle Garage (Cardiff), this particular Slough-built example was first registered as `JUH 105' on 9th July 1954 to J. Cornelius of J.O. Williams & Co (subsequently renamed the Pencoed Trading Co). Mr Cornelius kept licencing the Citroen until 1963 when it was taken off the road and barn stored. Alan Smith of Pencoed became the registered keeper in November 1983 and some eight years later the Light 15 was entered into a Walton & Hipkiss auction the catalogue for which described it as `one family owned from new' and `recently discovered after being stored for 28 years, the car is in remarkable condition'. Acquired by Traction Avant enthusiast John Aspinall, `JUH 105' was sold to Frank Grant of Ballater during March 1993. Stripped to a bare shell, the Citroen was extensively restored over the next six years with much of the work being documented via an accompanying CD. Purchased by the vendor from Mr Grant in October 2013, the Light 15 has since been further improved. Entrusted to Traction Repairs of Morpeth last summer, the four-seater was treated to a new clutch, timing chain, engine gaskets, swivel gaiters, drive shafts and front brake shoes etc at a cost of some £3,926.66. Estimated to have covered some 16,000 post-restoration miles, `JUH 105' retains its original red leather upholstery and also benefits from a working / non-leaking sunroof, high ratio crown wheel and pinion, auxiliary power socket (for sat-nav etc), reversing lamp and optional wing guards.

1983 Ferrari 308 GTB QV- One of just 74 RHD examples produced- c.35,000 miles, Rosso Corsa with Tan interior- Major service and cambelt replacement in September 2016This lovely 308 GTB QV is one of only 74 produced in righthand drive form and has covered a mere 35,000 miles in the hands of four owners. The previous one retained the Ferrari for 22 years as part of a private collection, while the current keeper invested no less than £15,000 with marque specialist Paul Hargreaves in September 2016, in order to bring the car completely up to scratch via a major service, cam belt change etc. The accompanying history file includes invoices detailing this work, as well as many earlier bills confirming the level of ongoing maintenance the car has enjoyed since it vacated the factory in Modena 35 years ago. It also accurately documents the two changes of speedometer that occurred in 1983 and 1991. Finished in the perennially attractive combination of Rosso Corsa bodywork and Tan-coloured leather interior trim, 'CPE 293Y' is presently viewed by the vendor as having 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, V8 engine and transmission, and is offered with MOT valid until June 29.The 308 GTB was Ferrari's replacement for the immortal Dino 246 GT, and made its debut at the 1975 Paris Salon. Its shapely contours were the work of Pininfarina's Leonardo Fioravanti, who had already penned such eternal classics as the Daytona, Dino and Berlinetta Boxer. In 1980, the carburetted engine was replaced by a Bosch fuel-injected version in the name of reduced emissions. However, the change left the revised unit short of power, which Ferrari addressed in 1983 with the Quattrovalvole (four valve) variant, that simultaneously restored the output to 237bhp and the model's reputation.Made famous by the TV series Magnum PI, the 308 has matured into a collectors' favourite, with the 308 GTB QV (Berlinetta) and 308 GTS QV (Targa Top) models becoming the most sought after.

1950 Jowett Jupiter- Period 1950s documented race history with supporting photographs at Dundrod, Silverstone and Isle of Man British Empire Trophy- 1951 Monte Carlo rally entrant- In storage from 1969 until 2015- Full comprehensive, correctly detailed and photographic restoration to the very highest standard over a 2-year periodEncouraged by the Javelin's success in motorsport, Jowett's prime motivation for the Jupiter was to gain an increase in its steel allocation by exporting a Sports Car version to the USA. The chassis was penned by former Auto Union engineer Eberan von Eberhorst, and the initial intention was for Jowett to supply production examples of it for independent coachbuilders to add their own design of body, and 75 frames were duly supplied to names such as Stablilimenti Farina, Ghia Suisse, Gebruder Beutler, Richard Mead and Abbotts of Farnham for this purpose. However the costs involved proved hard to justify for a car of such relatively modest power, and the factory was ultimately obliged to pen and create its own bodies. Crafted in aluminium, they featured two doors leading to a single bench seat. Luggage space was gained from inside, while the whole of the front hinged upwards from the scuttle to give optimum access to the engine and transmission. Power was provided by a high compression version of the Javelin's 1486cc flat-four OHV engine mounted well forward in the chassis.What it lacked it outright power, the Jupiter made up for in handling and roadholding, which resulted in an impressive level of international motorsport success, including class wins at Le Mans in 1950, 1951 and 1952; 1950 Monte Carlo Rally; 1951 Dundrod TT; and outright victory in the 1951 Lisbon Rally. Many private owners employed the model for racing, rallying, sprinting and hillclimbing. Production ran from 1950 to 1954, during which around 900 examples were manufactured. A promising-looking composite-bodied successor, the R4, never progressed beyond the prototype stage and the company closed its doors in 1955.The totally immaculate 1950 Jupiter now offered was shipped by the factory to Strobcross Engineering Works of Glasgow on December 19, 1950. Its first keeper was K B Miller who contested the 1951 Monte Carlo Rally with the car, but failed to progress beyond Preston following a second blown head gasket. He also tackled the Rest and be Thankful hillclimb with 'JGA 123', but in August 1951, having reputedly 'gone through so many head gaskets he wanted to drive the Jowett into the Clyde', he sold the car to Bill Skelly, the son of a Motherwell garage man. Skelly entered it for the Dundrod TT the following month, a move that required him to give the Jupiter a temporary coat of dull green distemper, as all cars were required run in their national colours. Despite failing oil pressure, he finished 8th in class and 24th overall and then had the task of replacing the big-end bearings in order to drive home. Skelly and 'JGA 123' also entered the following:- October 1951, Winfield - 13th in 5 lap Saloon event- April 1952, RAC Rally - did not start- May 1952, Silverstone - 7th in Sports Car race- May 1952, Isle of Man - British Empire Trophy, retired a few laps from the finish with valve troubleIn 1953 the Jupiter passed into the hands of John Tyrer (brother of well-known racer Gillie Tyrer), a Liverpool motorcycle dealer, but by the early '60s the car, now White, was the property of another Liverpool resident, Paul Pinkman, who used it until c.1969 before laying it up following a gearbox malady. The Jowett remained in storage until his death in 2014, 10 months following which it was acquired by the vendor, who promptly entrusted it to M.B. Restorations of Queensbury for a two year nut and bolt restoration of the very highest standard.Now resplendent in its original livery of Red bodywork and Brown upholstery, 'JGA 123' it is understandably considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission, and he is now offering this historic Jupiter complete with an extensive history file that includes period competition images as well as a photographic record of the restoration. A unique and exciting opportunity for Jowett aficionados everywhere.

1947 Cadillac Series 75 Fleetwood Imperial Sedan- Understood to have belonged to a doctor in the USA for many years- Imported to the UK in 2006- Part of a private collection sice 2014.While dwelt in the USA, this truly gorgeous period Caddy is understood to have belonged to a doctor for many years. It was imported to the UK in 2006 and became part of a private collection in 2014. At some stage it was treated to what is self-evidently a very high quality restoration. It is finished in a lustrous shade of Deep Silver and trimmed in a mix of Black hide (front) and Grey cloth (rear). Power is supplied by a 5.7-litre L-head Monobloc V8 engine driving through a four-speed Hydramatic transmission. The vendor considers the six-light Limousine bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and gearbox to all be in 'very good' order. A treat for all lovers of Americana.The Fleetwood Metal Body Company was founded in 1909 in Pennsylvania and quickly earned an enviable reputation for producing top-tier bodies on the upmarket chassis of the day for royalty, American presidents and screen stars alike. The business was acquired by Fisher Body in 1925 and thereby subsumed into the giant General Motors combine in 1929. For some years Fleetwood continued to manufacture bespoke bodies - in particular for Cadillac - but the name was eventually adopted for the high end versions of that company's regular model range. Cadillac's full size 70 (short wheelbase) and 75 (long wheelbase) Series cars were produced from 1936 right through to 1987. The third generation version of 1941-1949 emanated from the prolific pen of Harley Earl and was Cadillac's largest offering of the time. For 1947 it was available in five different configurations, of which the two so-called Imperial variants had jump seats that allowed either seven or nine occupants to be accommodated - the sale car is a seven-seater example. At nearly 19 feet in length, the Cadillac 75 is a major presence even by American standards.

1987 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLThe R107-series SL spanned 19 years, during which 237,287 examples were manufactured; a high percentage of which are still providing sterling service. An output of 185bhp was sufficient to endow the model with rapid acceleration and a top speed of around 130mph. This example is finished in Metallic Padget Red and trimmed in Beige Mercedes-Benz Tex. Manufactured in 1987, it was exported to Spain in 2012 but returned to these shores four years later, at which point it was re-registered on its original number. The vendor's present assessment of the car is that its straight-six engine and interior trim are 'very good', the bodywork and automatic transmission are 'good', and the paintwork 'average'. Its service book of 24 stamps comprises 14 Mercedes main dealer ones and 10 from marque specialists. The Benz also comes complete with colour-keyed hardtop, three old Spanish MOTs and 13 British ones, plus one valid to January 14th 2019.

1967 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Series 1.5 Roadster- Ground up restoration by Madden Automotive of Long Island, USA completed in 2012- Converted to righthand drive, triple SU's, fitted luggage, Opalescent Green with Tan leather- Imported by the vendor to UK in 2013 and kept in a carcoon, c.500 miles since restorationFor many people, the E-Type remains the ultimate production Jaguar. A car whose heady blend of styling and performance were so exceptional at its 1961 Geneva Motor Show launch they continue to cast a smooth, elliptical shadow over the marque's new sports cars some 55 years later. Its Malcolm Sayer-penned lines are thought by many to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motor car. Indeed, only a few years ago the Daily Telegraph ranked the E-Type top of the '100 most beautiful cars of all time' and, of course, none other than Enzo Ferrari beat them to it by many years when he similarly described it as 'the most beautiful car ever made'.Engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964 and, with the change, came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and electrical systems, and more comfortable seats. Never officially referred to as such by Jaguar, the so-called 'Series 1.5' cars appeared in late 1967. Drip fed a further host of detail improvements prior to the Series 2's official introduction the following October (including a more spacious cabin layout, redesigned convertible hood, larger capacity cooling system and boot hinge covers etc), they understandably remain particularly sought after by enthusiasts.Finished in Opalescent Green with Tan interior, BVG 257E was subject to a ground up restoration at the vendor's request by Madden Automotive of Long Island, USA in 2012 and imported to the UK shortly afterwards. Converted to righthand drive it has been kept in a carcoon and has covered just c.500 miles since. Featuring triple SU carburettors and a set of fitted luggage in the boot by Taris Chaysin Autoluggage of New York, this lovely E-Type roadster comes with Swansea V5C and a current MoT to 26 April 2018.

1951 Nash Rambler Country Club Custom- Potentially eligible for the Tour Auto- A ground breaking 'compact' design for Nash with distinctive Airflyte styling- 2.8-litre straight-six engine, three-speed manual transmission- An older restoration that would benefit from further recommissioning / repairsEstimate: £6,000 - £10,000 (Without Reserve)Commissioned by Nash-Kelvinator President George W. Mason, the Nash Rambler was introduced in 1950. Widely acknowledged as America's first compact car, it proved lighter and more fuel efficient than anything the `Big Three' (GM, Ford and Chrysler) had to offer. Chief engineer Meade Moore led the design team, while Theodore Ulrich was responsible for the `Airflyte' styling and body (including the distinctively skirted front / rear wheels). Able to accommodate five in comfort despite sitting on a 100-inch wheelbase, the newcomer featured a two-door monocoque chassis equipped with independent front suspension, worm and roller steering and Bendix four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Powered by a 172.6ci (2.8 litre), L-head straight-six engine allied to three-speed manual transmission, the model was reputedly capable of over 80mph and 25mpg. Joining the range for 1951, the Country Club was a pillarless hardtop that could be had in Super or more luxurious Custom trims. Costing $1,968, it accounted for 19,317 sales during its first season. On July 13th 1951 Tony Bonadies drove one to victory at the 400-lap NASCAR sanctioned Short Track Late Model Division race in Lanham, Maryland. Another Country Club contested the prestigious Tour de France event. Entering the current ownership via the Frankman Motor Company of South Dakota for $19,000 in November 2015, chassis D53182 was purchased with a view to contesting the Tour Auto (a modern re-running of the Tour de France). Accepted for the event, ill health prevented the vendor's participation. An older restoration which has been running of late, we are informed that the Nash Rambler will require recommissioning / repair before being returned to road use. Offered for sale with French Certificat d'Immatriculation (Carte Grise), FIVA Identity Card and sundry invoices. Interested parties might like to know that Peter Anderson of www.importedvehicleregistration.co.uk has quoted £300 (inclusive of all DVLA fees) to UK register the car.

1946 Nash P1 Pickup Prototype- A unique Nash Pickup!- Built during the last days of World War Two as the basis of a potential production model- Acquired by the vendor in a dismantled state during 1990 and subsequently treated to a circa $75,000 restoration- Powered by a 1941 Ambassador 6 OHV 3.8-litre twin-ignition engine allied to three-speed manual plus overdrive transmission- The subject of various magazine articles including one in 'Car Collector' - Estimate: £15,000 - £25,000 (Without Reserve)The world's largest truck manufacturer in 1918 thanks to the innovative Quad which featured four-wheel drive, four-wheel brakes, four-wheel steering and twin limited slip differentials, Nash remained a serious player in the `heavy duty' vehicle stakes until the early 1930s. Thereafter, the Kenosha-based concern concentrated on passenger cars aside from a few thousand wreckers that it built between 1947 and 1955. Predominantly meant for export, the recovery trucks clothed their massive 3-ton chassis with modified saloon car front sheetmetal. However, Nash certainly contemplated entering the `light duty' pickup market as proven by the existence of this unique prototype. Put together towards the end of World War Two, it is believed to sit on a late 1930s Nash chassis complete with 600 series front sheetmetal and rear wings. Assorted factory photos from 1946 show the truck with and without its side-mounted spare wheel and sporting differing bonnet trims and bumper detailing etc. The pickup bed was not fabricated in-house but outsourced to The Perfection Steel Body Company of Galion, Ohio makers of steel dump bodies, express bodies and platform - stake bodies; another indication that Nash was serious about the idea of production.In the end a post-WW2 `light duty' Nash Pickup never made it past the evaluation stage (although, the company did seemingly build a second prototype during 1949). Demand for new vehicles was such in the late 1940s / early 1950s that most American marques chose to focus on a few core model ranges rather than tool-up for new ones. Furthermore, Nash had committed to monocoque / unibody construction for its post-WW2 offerings and such chassis are not best suited to pickup conversions.A longstanding Nash enthusiast, the vendor found this unique pickup in about 1990. Despite it being stripped and lacking an engine at the time he had little doubt as to the truck's identity. Not only did the bulkhead-mounted body tag read: `Body No: Sample' and Model No: Truck Cab' but it came with a plaque from The Perfection Steel Body Company stamped: `Model: P1' and `Serial No: 80072'. On the basis that no one knew what powerplant the pickup had originally carried, the vendor chose to install a c.1941 Nash Ambassador 6 234ci (3.8 litre) OHV, twin ignition straight-six allied to three-speed manual plus Borg Warner overdrive transmission.The current owner estimates that he spent some $75,000 acquiring and renovating the truck to concours standard. Driven over 5,000 miles in the USA and France since its completion, the Nash has appeared in many magazine articles most notably Car Collector, Hemmings Motor News and NITRO (the latter being a five-page feature). Unfortunately, most of the pickup's history file was lost at an exposition of it in Racine, Wisconsin several years ago. Offered for sale with French Certificat d'Immatriculation (Carte Grise). Interested parties might like to know that Peter Anderson of www.importedvehicleregistration.co.uk has quoted £300 (inclusive of all DVLA fees) to UK register the Nash.

1913 Rambler Model 83 Cross Country Tourer- Entered from a private collection- Extensively restored in 2001- A powerful Edwardian Tourer powered by a magneto-fed 5.2 litre four-cylinder engine- Rambler cars were guaranteed for 10,000 miles in 1913- Estimate: £30,000 - £40,000 (Without Reserve)A successful bicycle manufacturer, Thomas B. Jeffrey of Chicago, Illinois constructed his first prototype motorcar in 1897. Known as a Rambler, like its pedal-powered predecessors, the single-cylinder machine was progressively developed. Interest shown at the 1899 Chicago International Exhibition and Tournament and the first National Automobile Show in New York City convinced Jeffrey to acquire the old Sterling Bicycle Factory in Kenosha, Wisconsin during 1900 and sell his two-wheeler business to Colonel Albert Pope's conglomerate, the American Bicycle Company, the following year. Introduced in February 1902, the first Rambler production car was priced at $750. A single-cylinder model with tiller steering, it attracted 1,500 orders making the Thomas B. Jeffrey Company second only to Oldsmobile in the sales stakes. Twin-cylinder engines were adopted in 1905 and Rambler moved into the luxury market with a four-cylinder unit two years later. A fatal heart attack saw Charles T. Jeffrey take his father's place in 1910. Renamed Jeffrey in its founder's honour during 1914, the marque was purchased by Charles Nash of Nash Motors two years later. The last design to bear the Rambler moniker, the Model 83 was based on a substantial, 120-inch wheelbase ladder-frame chassis equipped with leaf-sprung suspension and rear wheel brakes. Rated at 42hp, its 318ci (5.2 litre) four-cylinder engine featured magneto ignition and was allied to three-speed manual transmission. Available in seven-seater Gotham Limousine, four-seater Coupe, 2/3-seater Roadster and 4/5-seater Touring guises (the latter two referred to as `Cross County'), every Rambler Model 83 was guaranteed for 10,000 miles in 1913. Finished in Brewster Green over Black with Black deep button upholstery, this particular example - chassis 32374 - was extensively restored during 2001. Nicely detailed, the Rambler sports handsome nickel brightwork, a single rear-mounted spare wheel, tool box mounted on the right running board, folding windshield, dual rear view mirrors, full set of side curtains stowed under the rear seat, robe rail on the back of the front seat, accessory speedometer and a horn mounted on the steering column. Used exclusively by its previous keeper for `brass era' touring events, the Model 83 had its engine attended to over the winter of 2013/2014. Benefiting from an electric starter and lighting, the Cross Country Touring car is rendered even more usable by the provision of an overdrive which enables it to cruise more easily on modern roads. Worthy of close inspection, this imposing Edwardian has formed part of a private collection for the past three years and is offered for sale with French Certificat d'Immatriculation (Carte Grise). Interested parties might like to know that Peter Anderson of www.importedvehicleregistration.co.uk has quoted £300 (inclusive of all DVLA fees) to UK register the Rambler.

1924 LaFayette Model 134 Coupe- Supplied new to the proprietor of a steam locomotive company in North Georgia and purchased from his son by the vendor- Extensively restored to as near original specification as possible at a cost of circa $200,000- A rival to the likes of the Rolls-Royce Springfield Silver Ghost and priced accordingly when new- 1 of just 441 Model 134 cars made during 1924 of all bodystyles- Designed by a group of ex-Cadillac engineers including the Scottish-born D. McCall White who masterminded its 5.7 litre V8 engineEstimate: £25,000 - £35,000 (Without Reserve)Founded during 1919 and based in Mars Hill, Indiana, the LaFayette Motors Company boasted the technical expertise of none other than D'Orsay McCall White. An expat Glaswegian, McCall White served as chief engineer to the Daimler Motor Car Company, D. Napier & Son (where he designed a Land Speed Record car) and Crossley Motors before emigrating to the USA. Personally responsible for devising Cadillac's first V8 engine, the Type 51, he later became the company's vice president and was one of three people entrusted with developing the V12 Liberty aircraft engine during World War One. Drawing upon his aeronautical experience, the 348ci (5.7 litre) V8 engine that McCall White created for the LaFayette Model 134 featured a hollow case crankshaft weighing just 30.5lbs, air-pressurised fuel delivery system (no need for an Autovac / vacuum tank), internally driven accessories using Morse type chains (hence the lack of external pulleys / belts), twin crankshaft-driven back-to-back water pumps, manifolding routed through the cylinder block and a dual exhaust system to the rear of the car which resulted in low back pressure. Fed by a multi-jet carburettor (another of his innovations), the sophisticated powerplant developed 100bhp @ 2,750rpm and was allied to three-speed manual transmission. Based around a substantial ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, worm and sector steering, fully floating back axle and rear wheel brakes, the Model 134 also incorporated thermostatically controlled radiator shutters (a distinct novelty at the time). Relocating to Milwaukee, Wisconsin when Charles Nash of Nash Motors acquired control in 1923, LaFayette nevertheless ceased production the following year. Available in Touring, Sedan, Coupe, Torpedo, Roadster and Limousine guises, a mere 2,267 Model 134 cars were produced. Competition amid luxury car makers during the 1920s was particularly fierce. For all its engineering excellence LaFayette struggled to poach customers from established giants such as Cadillac and Packard especially as the Model 134 was more expensive than the former's offerings and on a par price wise with the latter's; the Four-Door Coupe model costing a princely $4,300 in 1924. The survival rate for LaFayette Model 134 cars has been estimated at just one percent!Finished in Dark Green over Black with Red pinstriping and Grey cloth upholstery, this particular Milwaukee-built example - chassis 2978 - wears Four-Door Coupe coachwork by the Seaman Body Corporation (number 31178). One of a pair of Model 134 cars supplied new to North Georgian steam locomotive manufacturer James Bulan Glover (the other being a Torpedo), it remained in his family until entering the current ownership during 2001. Dry stored in a basement for the previous seventy years, the LaFayette was complete but in need of a full restoration. Displayed `as found' at the Nash Car Club of America's 2002 Grand Nashional meeting, it caused an understandable stir. The vendor estimates that acquiring and refurbishing the Model 134 has cost him some $200,000. Rewired, repainted, retrimmed and treated to a thorough mechanical overhaul, the work took NCCA member Ben Bliss over three years to complete. Undeniably handsome, the Four-Door Coupe body sports a distinctive, prism-like windscreen, LaFayette calormeter, integral luggage trunk, LaFayette Motors Corporation Milwaukee hubcaps and twin rear-mounted spare wheels. To the interior, the well-stocked dashboard is complimented by a wooden steering wheel, wooden window frames, nickel-silver door furniture and blinds to the rear windows. Sparingly used since its completion save for a few rally outings, chassis 2978 is quite possibly the finest Model 134 in existence. Offered for sale with French Certificat d'Immatriculation (Carte Grise), UK V5C Registration Document, FIVA Identity Card, bill of sale from Mr Glover's son (a distant relative of Teddy Roosevelt) and sundry paperwork.

1948 Diamond T Model 201 Pickup- Widely regarded as the 'Cadillac of Pickup Trucks'- Extensively restored to show standard and probably the best example in Europe- Hercules 'Super Service' 3900cc six-cylinder engine, 4-speed Warner T9 manual transmission and optional 62mph rear end- Estimate: £20,000 - £30,000 (Without Reserve)After a brief flirtation with passenger cars, Diamond T specialised in commercial vehicles from 1911 onwards. Renowned for making the 'Cadillac of Trucks', the Chicago-based company introduced its iconic Model 201 One-Ton in 1938. A so-called 'light duty' machine but engineered to the same standards as its 'heavy duty' siblings, the newcomer was based around a massive cruciform-braced ladder-frame chassis equipped with an extra rigid I-beam front axle, fully floating back axle, Lockheed hydraulic drum brakes, cast iron wheels and substantial leaf-sprung suspension (those at the rear containing thirteen leaves). Initially powered by a 205ci (3.4 litre) seven main bearing L-head six-cylinder Hercules engine, the Model 201 gained an enlarged 236ci (3.9 litre) Hercules 'Super Service' unit post-WW2. Three-speed manual Warner transmission was standard with a four-speed gearbox and high speed 62mph final drive ratio being optional. Imposing styling was a Diamond T hallmark, its products sporting imposing radiator grilles, sculpted wings and rakish cabs. Promoted as being 'all-truck' rather than having any passenger car DNA (a subtle dig at its rivals), the Model 201 could be had in Pickup, Panel Delivery or Stake Truck guises. Famously long-lived, some 7,000 had been sold by the time it was superseded by the comparatively unloved Model 222 for 1950. Finished in Diamond T Red over Black with White pinstriping and Brown simulated leather upholstery, this particular example - chassis 2014314 - is considered by the vendor to be 'probably the best and most correct Model 201 existing, certainly in Europe if not the world'. Reportedly restored using 'everything either new old stock or original including the correct wheels (most are adapted from the ones fitted to the larger six-wheeler trucks)', the Pickup was previously owned by David Pearson of Montrose, Colorado. Entering the current ownership during 2013 for $49,000, the Diamond T has since been registered in Cherry Valley, Illinois and France. Specified with such desirable options as the four-speed Warner T-9 manual transmission and 'high speed' 62mph final drive ratio, the Model 201 also boasts a renewed period correct wiring harness, single exhaust plus chrome extension, original three spoke steering wheel, factory overhead storage compartment, wind-out two-piece windscreen, stainless / nostalgic steel grille, fresh headliner, Diamond T mascot, passenger side utility locker, original-style driver's side mirror, 70mph speedometer and fog lamps. Definitively the nicest Diamond T Model 201 Pickup we have encountered, chassis 2014314 is offered for sale with French Certificat d'Immatriculation (Carte Grise). Interested parties might like to know that Peter Anderson of www.importedvehicleregistration.co.uk has quoted £300 (inclusive of all DVLA fees) to UK register the truck.

1951 Nash-Healey Roadster- 1 of only 104 Nash-Healey Roadsters bodied in alloy by Panelcraft (of which just 20 survivors are known to the Nash Healey Register)- Arguably, America's first post-WW2 sportscar pre-dating the Ford Thunderbird and Chevrolet Corvette - Potentially eligible for the Mille Miglia Storica and Le Mans Classic- An exciting restoration project and offered for sale with a brand new alloy cylinder head- European import duty paid- Estimate: £25,000 - £35,000 (Without Reserve)'I want to go on record right now to say that I have never driven a sportscar that handled better or gave the driver so much control in a power slide or spin' (Tom McCahill of Mechanix Illustrated on the Nash-Healey)Inspired by an impromptu meeting between Donald Healey and Nash Kelvinator CEO George W. Mason whilst they were crossing the Atlantic aboard the Queen Elizabeth in December 1949, the resultant Nash-Healey was hailed as 'the first American sportscar to be introduced by a major manufacturer since the 1920s'. Derived from the Healey Silverstone, its box-section, ladder-frame chassis featured independent trailing link front suspension, a Panhard rod-located rear axle and Bendix 'Duo Servo' four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a Nash Ambassador 3848cc OHV 'Dual Jet Fire' straight-six engine allied to three-speed manual plus Borg Warner overdrive transmission, the newcomer utilised a bespoke light alloy, higher compression cylinder head and twin SU carburettors to develop a quoted 125bhp and 210lbft. Bodied in aluminium by Panelcraft of Birmingham, the prototype Nash-Healey contested the 1950 Le Mans 24-hours. Finishing an amazing fourth overall in the hands of Tony Rolt and Duncan Hamilton, its success not only prompted George W. Mason to greenlight a limited production run but also presaged returns to the famous La Sarthe circuit in 1951, 1952 and 1953 which netted 6th, 3rd and 11th places overall respectively. Amazingly, the Nash-Healey that took the bottom step of the podium at the 1952 Le Mans 24-hours also claimed 7th place overall on that year's Mille Miglia! Assembled in Healey's Warwick factory, the first 104 Nash-Healey Roadsters sported Panelcraft aluminium bodywork. Tasked with restyling the entire Nash range for 1952, Pininfarina also took over responsibility for Nash-Healey construction endowing the two-seater with more flamboyant but heavier steel coachwork. The shipping costs associated with the Panelcraft cars had been high but those for the Pininfarina ones were even more costly. The impact on the Nash Healey's retail price was considerable and a mere 507 Roadsters and Coupes had been made by the time production ceased in 1954. The seventeenth car completed and one of just twenty Panelcraft-bodied survivors known to the Nash-Healey Registry, chassis N2017 is thought to have been supplied new in America. Resident there some fifty-seven years later, the Roadster was sold by renowned vintage and classic car dealer Hyman Ltd to Robasto Giuseppe of Turin for $70,000 on February 20th 2008. Imported into Italy with relevant duties paid by ABS Air Brokers Service SRL some four months later, the two-seater was untouched during Mr Giuseppe's custodianship. Still in need of restoration when it entered the current ownership on 28th May 2015 for _60,000, the vendor got as far as purchasing a brand new alloy cylinder head from Warren Kennedy of Healey specialist Classic Restorations and securing a certificate for obtaining a 'Vehicule de Collection' carte grise from the Federation Francaise des Vehicules d'Epoque before a change of plans intervened. Seemingly complete, chassis N2017 has the makings of a very rewarding project. Several Panelcraft-bodied Nash-Healey Roadsters have been accepted for the highly prestigious Mille Miglia Storica and, if suitably prepared, a Le Mans Classic entry might also be forthcoming. Offered for sale with State of Missouri Certificate of Title, Comunita Europea duties paid printout, FFVE Certificate and Republique Francaise Certificat D'Acquisition d'Un Vehicule Terrestre a Moteur, Peter Anderson of www.importedvehicleregistration.co.uk is happy to help a purchaser UK register the car.

1974 Aston Martin V8- 1 of just 967 Series 3 examples- 97,100 miles from new and manual transmission- Large history file including service book containing 22 stampsAston Martin's long-awaited V8 finally appeared in 1969. It was initially known as the DBS V8, but later dubbed simply, 'V8'. Retrospectively known as the Series 3, the redesigned model phased-in during July 1973 was a response to concerns over forthcoming US emission regulations. Marking a switch from Bosch fuel-injection to quad twin-choke 42mm Webers, the newcomer was visually distinguished by an enlarged air intake, elongated bonnet scoop and new rear window panel. Utilising the same steel platform chassis complete with independent double-wishbone front suspension, Watts linkage-located de Dion rear axle, power assisted rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes as its predecessor, the luxury GT now benefited from improved engine and transmission cooling and a revised petrol tank design. Other improvements included a revamped 2+2 interior with revised seats and reorganised switchgear. Developing some 310bhp, its cleaner-running 5340cc DOHC V8 engine still made for a prodigiously fast motorcar. Indeed, the September 1973 issue of Autocar magazine recorded 0-60mph in 6.2 seconds and 146mph flat out aboard a Series 3 with automatic transmission. With production running from July 1973 to December 1974 and then Spring 1976 to October 1978, just 967 Series 3 cars were made all told.This 'meticulously maintained' Series 3 V8 comes freshly repainted in its original shade of Imperial Blue matched to its recently restored Cream leather interior. Supplied new to Charles Hurst of Belfast with factory-fitted manual transmission and A/C (presently inoperative) the extras also included electric sunroof, left hand mirror, bumper overriders and extra side repeaters. Currently displaying a total of 97,100 miles 'BVU 476N' has benefited from new stainless-steel exhaust manifolds (2001), new battery (2016) plus in 2017; new carpets, re-chromed bumpers, new windscreen, new window and door rubbers, refurbished wheels and the underneath has been cleaned plus rust proofed.The vendor presently grades the bodywork, paintwork, engine and transmission as 'excellent' and the interior trim as 'very good' and is offering the Aston complete with service book containing 22 stamps from Kensington-based independent marque specialist Ian Mason, original instruction book, workshop manual, large collection of invoices, 32 old MOTs and one valid to February 2019. Just three 1974 Aston Martin V8s are seemingly registered with the DVLA at present of which this is the only non-SORN'd example.

1933 Singer Kaye Don Coupe de Luxe- One of a batch of cars that were specified by, and named after, the record breaker Kaye Don (who was a close friend of Singer's MD W.E. Bullock)- Supplied new by Westwood Motors of Clacton-on-Sea (Westwood was a Singer Works Competition Driver)- Current ownership since 1976 and treated to an extensive restoration during the 1990s- Believed but not warranted to have covered 58,000 miles (16,000 since the completion of its refurbishment)- The only known survivorH&H are indebted to the vendor for the following descripton:Kaye Don of land and water record-breaking fame was a close personal friend of W.E. Bullock, managing director of the Singer Company Ltd of Coventry. Thus, Kaye Don lent his name to a handful of slightly bulbous looking saloons that Beauvais bodied in 1931. For the limited batch of Kaye Don Coupes that followed during 1932-33, he took a personal interest in the styling modelling them on his own Rolls-Royce 20/25 which is now owned by P&A Wood. The first Kaye Don Coupe was gifted to Bullock's daughter as a wedding present. The second and third were supplied to main dealers Westwood and Spikins who were also Singer Works Competition Drivers.`AHK 311' was sold through Westwood Motors in Clacton on Sea to a British Army Officer and had a series of owners in the late 1940s and 1950s. The car entered the current ownership as a barn find in 1976 and was dry stored until the 1990s when it was subjected to an extensive restoration including the fitting of Phoenix conrods in place of the original Duralamin components before being returned to the road during 2000. Since then it has covered 16,000 miles and the total mileage of 58,000 is believed but not warranted to be correct. `AHK 311' is the only known surviving Kaye Don Coupe. It has won numerous awards over the last few years at Singer Owners' Club International Days and at other major classic car events in the UK.The straight-six engine designed by Louis Coatelen of Sunbeam fame, who was another close friend of Don, has a seven-main bearing crankshaft, twin-choke Solex carburettor and overhead valve gear. The cooling is by pump and fan with the former located in the cylinder head. A Clayton-Dewandre servo operates thirteen-inch drum brakes. The Luvax-Bijou one-shot lubrication system is controlled from the cockpit and covers all the major moving parts on the chassis including the kingpins. The radiator shutters are governed by a Smiths' thermostat mounted in the header tank.The elegant coachbuilt aluminium body was manufactured by Singer and finished in Midnight Blue over Ivory with the original Blue hide upholstery. The dashboard and door cappings are in solid American walnut with 100% wool worsted headlining and a sunshine roof.`AHK 311' cruises comfortably between 50mph and 60mph on main roads and is capable of a genuine top speed in excess of 70mph.

1966 Austin Mini Cooper S 1275- Delivered new to the supplying dealer, Central Garage of Leeds- Subject to a restoration program that took some 20 years that was completed in 2011- Original service book, owners' manual and displays a credible 69,450 milesThe Mini mania sparked by Paddy Hopkirk's glorious victory on the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally has never really gone away. What's changed in recent times is that serious collectors increasingly insist on their cars being to original or period modified specification and are prepared to pay for the privilege. This delightful Cooper S appears to tick that box nicely. It is a 1966 1275 model, that retains its original Hydrolastic suspension system, three-synchro gearbox, dynamo and positive earth electrical system. It was the subject of a restoration program that took some 20 years, and was completed in 2011. Items of note include: the Webasto sunroof that has been retrimmed by Pickerings of Bradford; reclining front seats courtesy of Newton Commercial; period leather-rimmed Les Leston steering wheel; optional twin fuel tanks; Minilite-style alloy wheels from Mini Spares; and rare 163 cylinder head which, in common with the gearbox, has been overhauled. Other items refurbished since 2011 include the front suspension bushes and joints.This home market Mini is finished in the strident combination of Black roof over Tartan Red bodywork and trimmed in Red/Gold brocade. It was delivered new to the supplying dealer, Central Garage of Leeds, on April 6, 1966 and first registered 'FUM 740D'. The vendor acquired the car in 2011, since when it has dwelt on the Isle of Man with the appropriate registration 'MN 1275' - as he is retaining that number the Mini has now been allocated 'FMN 740D'. The vendor presently grades the bodywork, paintwork and transmission as 'excellent', and the engine and interior trim as 'very good'. He is now offering the car complete with the green continuation log book and original service book and owners' manual, as well as the Tudor Webasto instruction guide and Manx registration document. The odometer currently displays an eminently credible 69,450 miles.

1973 Ford Escort MexicoFord created the AVO-built Escort Mexico to capitalise on Hannu Mikkola's victory on the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally. Its strengthened shell was fitted with Rallye Sport suspension and brakes and powered by a 1600cc Kent engine. This 'totally unmarked' example hails from 1973 and has been the subject of a photographically recorded 'nut-and-bolt' restoration. Its gleaming Sebring Red bodywork is complemented by Black side stripes, Black cloth interior trim, and rare Black fold-back sunroof. It rides on genuine RS 13in four-spoke alloy wheels shod with a fresh set of Yokohama tyres, and steers via a three-spoke RS steering wheel. The Mexico is nowadays powered by a replacement powerplant built by Brian Randall Racing Engines that features a pair of twin-choke 40DCOE Webber carburettors - the original Kent engine forms part of the sale. Instead of a brake master cylinder, the car now benefits from an adjustable brake bias pedal box.

1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider- Imported to UK in 1990 from USA, red with black interior- Upgraded from original Normale specification using genuine Veloce block- LHD example restored by marque specialist John HoldenThis very smartly presented lefthand drive Giulia Spider was originally imported to the US by serial foreign car importer Max Hoffman. During 1990 it found its way to the UK and was purchased by the vendor from Black & White Cars of Newbury in 2013, by which time its engine had been upgraded from 'Normale' to the slightly later more powerful 110bhp Veloce specification using a genuine Veloce cylinder block no. AR0012101746. During 2013/2014, 'SPY 269C' was entrusted to marque specialist John Holden of Pure Bodies, Hants, for a major restoration that deliberately saved as many of the original fixtures and fittings as possible. A full respray followed a strip and examination. All the original brightwork was re-chromed rather than replaced. The engine was overhauled, the front suspension uprated and many new parts fitted, including clutch, alternator, battery, brake linings and Pirelli Cinturato tyres, while the underside was Waxoyled.The vendor unsurprisingly nowadays classes the bodywork and Red paintwork as 'excellent' and the Black interior trim, sonorous 1600c twin-cam engine and five-speed manual gearbox as 'very good'. This Spider is now being offered complete with a file of invoices and an MOT that remains valid until August 27. Qualifying for historic road tax, the accumulated mileage currently displayed is an unwarranted by eminently feasible 70,341.The Type 105 Giulia Spider was introduced in 1962 as a rebadged and updated version of the earlier Type 101 Giulietta model. Now equipped with the taller 1600 rather than 1300 engine, the Giulia Spider was readily distinguishable via the necessary bulge in the bonnet. The Giulia Spider continued in production until the arrival of the Spider 1600 Duetto in mid-1966. With their endearing looks and combination of lusty twin-cam engine linked to an ever-willing five speed transmission and responsive handling, these period Alfas have an understandably robust following.

1927 Rolls-Royce 20hp 'W.O. Bentley Evocation'The specification of this gorgeous vintage motorcar is a real teaser for aficionados of the Rolls-Royce and Bentley marques. Let us put you out of your misery - in essence it is a 1927 Rolls-Royce 20hp chassis clothed in a bespoke Bentley Vanden Plas-style body and powered by a Rolls-Royce 20/25 3.7-litre engine. The back story is as follows - the Rolls chassis was purchased new by a Miss Riley from Paddon Bros Ltd for £1,185. She then commissioned a Weyman-style body from Messrs W.C. & R.C. Atcherley of Leamington Works, Birmingham and the result was first registered in London during June 1927. The full early history is not known, but suffice to say that, post-WW2, 'ARE 663' spent 30 years in Warwickshire before periods in Middlesex and then Scotland. It was between 2009 and 2012 that the Vanden Plas-style body was acquired in good order and lovingly transferred to the Rolls chassis in place of the Atcherley one. It was decided by the owner to retain the body in its Bentley guise as its appearance particularly appealed to him. A suitable bonnet was commissioned and a bespoke radiator constructed by Radtec Racing Radiators of Cannock, Staffs. The vendor's husband was restoring the car in 2012 when he sadly died. However, thanks to the vendor, this splendid Rolls/Bentley has received the attention of A.J. Glew of Moreton in Marsh, Glos. as recently as last year, and she now considers its bodywork, paintwork, engine and transmission to all be in 'very good' order. It is finished in a stately shade of Deep Blue and trimmed in Grey leather, and presently displays a total unwarranted mileage of 50,369 - a unique and affordable proposition for both Rolls-Royce and Bentley enthusiasts everywhere. Unveiled in 1922, the Rolls-Royce 20HP remained in production until 1929, by which time some 2,885 examples are understood to have vacated the company's Derby factory.

1982 AC 3000 ME MKII Prototype- Former Thames Ditton demonstrator and then Charles Hurlock's personal car before being reworked by Aubrey Woods of BRM fame as a MKII prototype- Re-engineered with much Alfa Romeo componentry as part of a potential joint venture including engine, suspension, brakes etc- Recently treated to over £11,000 worth of fettling (new ECU, water pump, sundry recommissioning and rolling road testing)Although, the AC 3000ME prototype debuted at the 1973 Earls Court Motor Show, difficulties in obtaining Type Approval meant that it would be another six years before the mid-engined sportscar entered production. Hailed as the British equivalent of the Lancia Stratos - both machines featuring wedge-shaped styling, fibreglass bodywork and proprietary V6 engines - its 'bathtub' steel chassis played host to substantial front / rear subframes and an integral roll-over bar. Equipped with all-round independent double-wishbone suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes, the model boasted a rearward 40:60 weight bias and excellent handling. Transversely mid-mounted, the 2994cc Ford powerplant was allied to AC's own five-speed manual gearbox (albeit with Hewland internals) via a Reynold triplex chain system. With some 138bhp and 192lbft of torque on tap, the lightweight 3000ME (1085kg) was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds and over 120mph. Some seventy-six cars were produced at AC's Thames Ditton factory before manufacture switched to AC (Scotland) Ltd in 1984 where another thirty were built. For many the last true AC - and certainly the final model in which the Hurlock family had a hand - the 3000ME has long been collectible. This particular example - chassis 129 - is unique among the total production run in having been actively involved in both eras of the story. Originally the Thames Ditton factory demonstrator, it was adopted for a time by AC's Managing Director Andrew Hurlock for his personal use, and was therefore still on the company's books when the project relocated to Scotland. Aside from extending production of the MKI, the intention was to market an improved MKII version in conjunction with Alfa Romeo, and former BRM engineer Aubrey Woods was tasked with undertaking the related development. That work was carried out on the car now offered and reportedly included the following Alfa Romeo componentry: 2500cc V6 engine, suspension parts, wheels, control unit, pedals, steering, CV drive shafts and ventilated disc brakes. Chassis 129 is also understood to have benefited from a modified Hewland gearbox incorporating a Hyvo chain drive with Weller tensioner housed in a separate chain case, tapered races and individual selectors. Koni self-levelling shock absorbers were added too. A former AC test driver, Ray Wilkinson bought chassis 129 when the Scottish operation folded. Won over by its handling / roadholding, he planned to race the two-seater with the AMOC and to this end commissioned John Dooley to prepare the Alfa Romeo 2500cc V6 for competition usage. Unfortunately, a regulation change rendered chassis 129 ineligible before it ever ran in anger. Fitted with a more tractable / usable Alfa Romeo 3000cc V6 thereafter, the AC remained in Mr Wilkinson's care until 1997 when it was purchased by Michael Cowburn. Forming part of the latter's private collection, the fixed head coupe was sparingly used during his seventeen-year tenure. Repainted shortly before entering the current ownership during February 2014, chassis 129 was treated to £11,196.37 worth of fettling last year. Stripped and checked over, its 3000cc Alfa Romeo engine was uprated with an Emerald K3 management system (plus associated wiring loom), new Lambda sensor, electronic water pump / controller and VR6-type injectors. Attention was also paid to the clutch, steering rack, suspension, washer jets and brakes. A secondary 12-gallon fuel tank was added because the original one contained too much detritus. Filled with fresh oil and antifreeze, the two-seater underwent two rolling road set-up sessions. Riding on fresh tyres and sporting a bespoke stainless steel exhaust system, 'VPC 634X' is said to 'have plenty of performance and to sound like an Italian thoroughbred'. A fascinating glimpse into what might have been, this historic and unique AC is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, MOT certificate valid until 12th December 2018, history file and its initial Alfa Romeo 2500cc V6.

2005 Chevrolet SSR- Supplied new by Huntingdon Chevrolet Inc of New York on 19th January 2005 and UK road registered less than three months later- Understood to have covered 31,000 miles from new with supporting MOT history- More desirable 6.0 litre LS2 V8 engine (as used in the Corvette) plus optional Preferred Equipment Group, Auxiliary Gauge Package and Chromed WheelsPreviewed in 'concept car' guise at the 2000 Detroit Auto Show, the Chevrolet SSR (Super Sport Roadster) was a high-performance pickup truck with a retractable hardtop convertible roof. Launched on New Year's Eve 2003, the newcomer's retro styling harked back to Chevrolet's late 1940s Advance Design trucks with their bold, multi-element grilles and heavily sculpted wings. A halo model that prioritised handling over load-lugging, the SSR was equipped with independent front suspension, a five-link rear axle, rack and pinion steering, LSD and four-wheel disc brakes. Initially powered by a 5.3 litre Vortec V8, the two-seater gained a significant performance boost for the 2005 model year with the adoption of the 6.0 litre all-alloy LS2 V8 (as found in the C6 Corvette). Available with a choice of four-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission, the larger powerplant was rated at 390bhp / 405lbft and reputedly enabled the Pickup to sprint from 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds. The 2005 model year trucks also benefited from strengthened chassis and recalibrated suspension. SSR production ceased on March 17th 2006 by which time some 24,112 had been made available to the public.Finished in Smokin' Asphalt with Ebony leather upholstery, this particular example was supplied new by Huntingdon Chevrolet Inc of New York to Frank P. Agliardi of Massapequa on January 19th 2005. Imported to the UK and road registered as 'HX54 CRU' less than three months later, its original purchase price of $46,870 included the following options: Preferred Equipment Group (engine cover insert, heated / memory seats, electrochromic mirrors and Bose premium sound system), Auxiliary Gauge Package and Chrome Plated Wheels. Understood to have covered just 31,000 miles from new with supporting MOT history, the SSR boasts the more potent 6.0 litre LS2 V8 and associated uprated chassis plus four-speed automatic transmission. Still highly presentable, this cult pickup is offered for sale with original build specification sheet, brochure, various service invoices, sundry parts bills and a fresh MOT certificate.

1953 Jaguar XK120 Drophead Coupe- Sold new in 1953 via Jaguars Los Angeles distributor Hornburg- A Matching numbers & freshly restored example- Fitted with a Guy Broad five-speed gearbox and offered with a collection of invoicesAccording to its vendor this handsome matching numbers Jaguar `is in beautiful condition and in need of no work whatsoever'. A lefthand drive export model '388 UYY' was sold new in 1953 via the company's Los Angeles distributor Hornburg. As now, it was finished in Dove Grey complemented by Tan-coloured interior trim. Apparently it did a modest amount of racing in Arizona in the `70s, the area it spent most of its life in until being shipped to Germany in 1990, where it was stored in a container awaiting a renovation that was never completed. Fast forward to 2015 when it was acquired by a classic car company who sold it to the vendor a year later, following which he instigated a full body-off restoration, during which no corrosion was encountered. The refurbishment involved: a total bare-metal respray; full retrim, including dashboard and carpets; replacement hood; fresh chrome bumpers and grill; and new Guy Broad five-speed gearbox, wire wheels and tyres. The total of the parts alone was over £24,000 and the Jaguar is offered complete with Heritage certificate and V5C document.The stunning-looking XK120 Roadster caused a sensation when launched at the 1948 London Motorshow. Capable of 120mph and more, it immediately assumed the mantle of the world's fastest production car. The equally elegant Fixed Head Coupe version followed in 1951 with the Drop Head Coupe completing the range in 1953. The key to the car's electrifying performance was its all new, alloy-headed DOHC 3.4-litre, straight-six engine, the basic design of which successfully powered a whole range of Jaguars until the late `80s. In order to confirm the model's top speed potential to the press, the second XK120 built was driven flat out on the Jabbeke straight, Belgium, achieving an astonishing 136.596mph in stripped form.

1977 Porsche 911 S Targa- Family ownership for 38 years in California , 25 years in dry storage- All original panels- Extensive optional extras fitted from newThe now ubiquitous Porsche 911 entered production in 1964. The design was the work of Dr Ferry Porsche's eldest son, Ferdinand 'Butzi' Porsche and the company's joint founder and chief body engineer Erwin Kommenda. The car featured rack and pinion steering and both torsion bar suspension and disc brakes all-round and was initially powered by a dry-sump, air-cooled, 2-litre, flat six engine. In 1968, the wheelbase was increased by 57mm, the rear overhang reduced by the same amount, and some 22lb saved from the (overhung) engine crankcase. These changes greatly improved the car's handling. Since its birth, the 911's story has been one of continual evolution. Early on, the engine capacity had been increased to 2.2 litres and during 1971 it rose to 2.4 litres and in 1973 to 2.7-litres. The Targa top option for the 911 was introduced in 1967 and was an immediate success. Initially it featured a folding rear window but fairly soon acquired a fixed rear screen.Now UK registered, this delightfully original-looking and apparently unrestored lefthand drive K-Series 911 S was produced in the last weeks of the 2.7 run and supplied new by Felton Porsche CA in 1977. It remained in California with just two family owners for 38 years, the last 26 of which were spent in dry storage. Its comprehensive specification includes: oil cooler; Blaupunkt Bamberg stereo system with additional amplifier, four speakers, and electric antenna; competition 38mm steering wheel; sports seats; power windows and passenger mirror; centre console; rear wiper; black rather than chrome exterior trim; colour-keyed headlight rims; and headlight washers. Finished in Sienna Metallic Brown and trimmed in Tan-coloured hide, the vendor informs us that 'UPP 824R' has 'never been under sealed and the panels are all original'. Serviced within the last 100 miles it is now being offered complete with: its original service book, handbook and sales brochures; Porsche Certificate of Authenticity; its full original toolkit; and pair of keys. An increasingly rare opportunity.

1983 CN Sprint- Hand-built by the late Neil Shepherdson (the Neil in Christopher Neil Ltd of Northwich)- 2-litre 16V Zetec unit and original Dunlop D1 alloy wheels- Recently overhauled at a cost of £12,500The CN Sprint was a replica kit car marketed by Lotus marque specialists Christopher Neil Ltd of Northwich, Cheshire. This particular example, (Chassis No.00001) was hand-built by the late Neil Shepherdson (the Neil in Christopher Neil) and originally registered to him. He apparently created the car using all new parts, including a galvanised Lotus Elan S4 chassis, genuine Lotus suspension, brakes, steering and differential. It was used as a press/sales demonstrator and originally powered by a Ford 1600cc CVH engine driving through a Sierra five-speed gearbox. The vendor had the CVH unit professionally replaced with a 2-litre 16V Zetec unit, which predictably endows the car with performance superior to that of an original Elan Sprint. Coincident with the transplant, the brakes, suspension, wheel bearings and drive shafts were overhauled at a cost of £12,500 and a new hood completed the makeover. The vendor currently regards the evocation as `mechanically superb and an absolute joy to drive, being very quick and amazingly tractable with superb reliability'. He goes on to say, `the bodywork is very good with no crazing, but just some faint blemishes noticeable at very close quarters. The interior is in very good condition with no rips or marks on the original Elan seats, carpet or console, the latter of which has been retrimmed in fine leather. The electrics are all working reliably, including the windows and headlights, which are instantly raised by electric motor'. In summary, he currently regards the Zetec engine and five-speed gearbox as `excellent', the fibreglass bodywork as `very good', the Black interior trim as `good', and the Red over White paintwork as `average'.`A548 TLG' is now offered complete with its original Dunlop D1 alloy wheels, sheaf of past invoices, complimentary period magazine article, period advertising and photos, old MOT certificates and one valid to June 26 this year.

1973 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster- Original UK RHD manual example- Interior re-trimmed, bare metal repaint, new front wings / doors / bootlid, engine overhauled, etc.- Receipts on file for over £90,000The E-Type or XK-E as it was known in the USA, made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show of 1961. From birth, the car was available either as a Fixed Head Coupe or a two-seat Roadster. The engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964. With the change came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and more comfortable seats. For 1966, a 2+2 version of the Coupe was added to the range. It was 9in longer and featured a more vertical windscreen.What are known as the Series 3 cars were introduced in 1971. With the exception of a handful of now very rare examples, they were all fitted with a new 5.3-litre V12 engine. The original (short) wheelbase was discontinued and the revised car offered only as Roadster (now based on the longer 2+2 floorpan) or 2+2 Coupe. Production of the Series 3 cars continued until the entire model range was superseded by the XJS in 1975; by which time some 15,000 V12-engined cars had been produced - most of which were exported to North America. The Series 3 cars are readily identified from their predecessors by the large cross-slatted radiator grille, flared wheel arches and V12 badge on the rear.This very impressively-presented righthand drive home market Roadster has been the subject of a £90,000 refurbishment which included the front wings, doors and bootlid being replaced and the whole car treated to a bare metal respray in Black. The interior was completely retrimmed in Biscuit-coloured hide, the engine overhauled with new timing chains and a refurbished manual gearbox installed. The instruments were also overhauled and the original wiring replaced. First registered in London in 1973, 'VLL 623M' currently displays a mere (though unwarranted) 14,358 miles and is now seeking a new owner in time for some wind-in-the-hair spring motoring.

1921 Wolseley Ten '200-Mile' Race Evocation- Built by enthusiast Colin Thomas during the early 1980s as a faithful copy of Capt. Miller's Works Brooklands racer- Exquisite polished aluminium bodywork reproduced using period photographs by master craftsman Phil Kneller- Featured in the Vintage Sports Car Club's Bulletin and Motor Sport magazines- Offered for sale at a fraction of what it would cost to recreate todayBritain's biggest motorcar manufacturer at the outbreak of World War One, Wolseley built Hispano-Suiza aero engines under licence during the hostilities before developing its own designs. Part of the Vickers Group, it did not want for funds and was able to unveil three new models of 10hp, 15hp and 20hp at the Olympia Motor Show during November 1919 (though, production proper did not begin for over a year). Benefiting from Wolseley's aero engine expertise, the 10hp featured a sophisticated 1260cc four-cylinder OHC engine and three-speed transaxle. Beautifully made, the newcomer was - at £545 - also considerably more expensive than many of its rivals. Keen to boost sales, Wolseley's managing director Arthur McCormack tasked Captain A.G. Miller with establishing a competition department in 1921 (Miller had enjoyed notably success the previous year with two 1914 Opel Grand Prix cars). Bodied as a single-seater in polished aluminium, Miller's first Wolseley Ten racer rose to prominence in late 1921 when it set ten new (1.5-litre class) speed records at Brooklands including averaging 81.79mph for 500 miles! Christened `Moth', the record breaker was said to be comparatively standard mechanically apart from a high-lift camshaft, alloy pistons and larger carburettor etc.Suitably encouraged, Miller ordered a two-seater version to be built for the Junior Car Club's highly prestigious annual 200-Mile Race at Brooklands. Finishing 8th-in-class at an average of 66.2mph in 1922, the two-seater performed even better the following year finishing 10th overall at an average of 76.25mph. Contesting other events aside from the one it had been constructed for, the `200-Mile' car came 3rd in the 1922 Armistice Meeting and 2nd in the 1923 BARC August Meeting. The success of `Moth' and the `200-Mile' car even convinced future Bentley Boy Woolf Barnato to commission and campaign `Moth II'. Sadly, the link between Miller and Wolseley was severed when McCormack resigned at the end of 1923. Thereafter, the Miller Wolseleys faded into obscurity with none surviving to the present day. Inspired by enthusiast John End's recreation of `Moth', Colin Thomas set about making a faithful copy of the `200-Mile' car in the early 1980s. Using an original 1921 Wolselely Ten rolling chassis as the basis and ably assisted by John End, he tasked master craftsman Phil Kneller with reproducing the two-seater's exquisite polished aluminium bodywork from period photographs. Non-standard parts were faithfully manufactured from drawings such as the high-lift camshaft, three-inch diameter outside exhaust pipe, extended oil filler neck to facilitate quick pitstops and bespoke outside handbrake etc.Debuting at the VSCC's Prescott Meeting in August 1984, Thomas's `200-Mile' Evocation appeared in the Club's Bulletin publication several times and, along with End's recreated `Moth', was the subject of an article by Bill Boddy in Motor Sport magazine. Acquired by Stephen Battye for his impressive Yorkshire Car Museum during 2003, the Wolseley was carefully stripped and reassembled after a period of dry storage. The engine and transaxle were overhauled (with the former receiving a new correct-specification carburettor). The steering and braking systems were inspected and a new bulkhead and dashboard fabricated. As well as appropriate Wolseley instrumentation, the cockpit received new Black leather upholstery. The leaf springs were rebound in glace cord and `Wolseley 1' sign-written on the radiator cowl and nearside tail to better mimic Miller's original. Kept in carpeted surroundings for the last few years, the `200-Mile' Evocation is wonderfully detailed and certainly rewards close inspection. Formerly used for sprints / hillclimbs, the Wolseley is offered for sale with a VSCC Buff Form (expired), V5C Registration Document and history file. Needless to say, this jewel-like Vintage racer would cost considerably more than its guide price to restore today!

1971 Triumph TR6- Recent engine overhaul with respected marque specialist- Recent professional respray- Orginal UK RHD carTriumph's TR series began with the unveiling of a prototype (the TR1) at the 1952 London motor show. The TR2 was launched the following year, and so began a series of two-seater sports cars that ended in 1981 with the last of the TR8s. The evolution was steady but continuous and the TR6 unveiled in 1968 was effectively a cleverly updated TR5. For the body revisions Triumph naturally turned to the Italian who had styled the TR4/TR5 - Michelotti. However, he could not meet their schedule and the squaring off of the nose and tail were eventually achieved by the German designers at Karmann. The car's underpinnings were broadly as per the TR5. A total of 94,619 examples were produced, a mere 8,370 of which were sold on the home market.'FHV 1J' belongs to the latter group. Among the previous owners was one who employed it for the Revington Hillclimb and Sprint Championship - hence the roll over bar - as well as travelling through Europe on numerous holidays and rallies. He sold it to a Mr Attfield in 1995, who only retained for a few months before ownership passed to a Mr Board who enjoyed the car for a further 19 years before the vendor took possession. He has recently treated 'FHV 1J' to a total engine overhaul by S & M Triumph of Lincoln, during which hardened valve seats were installed, the fuel injection system refurbished, and a new clutch and high torque starter motor fitted. At the same time the Triumph was resprayed and a new hood put in place. This smartly-presented TR6 is now offered complete with a comprehensive file of the extensive work carried out over the years, including Heritage Certificate, photographs of the restoration, old MOTs that verify the current mileage (the original speedometer was replaced in 1991), and one valid into December.

1990 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit II- Supplied new by Mann Egerton of Norwich- Factory build sheets, inspection records and comprehensive history file- 15,150 miles from new and Rolls-Royce blankets and umbrella includedThis utterly immaculate Silver Spirit II has had a total of five owners, who between them have apparently amassed no more than 15,150 miles over 28 years. Totally unrestored, it is finished in the striking combination of Acrylic Georgian Silver over a Dark Metallic Blue, while the interior is trimmed in Blue-piped Parchment-coloured hide. The Rolls was supplied new by Mann Egerton of Norwich and is considered by the titled vendor to have nothing less than 'excellent' bodywork, two-tone paintwork, sumptuous interior trim and Blue carpets, V8 engine and automatic transmission. Apparently once a show car, 'H9 ORP' is well known to the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts' Club and is now being offered complete with; upgraded radio with Blue Tooth as well as the original audio system; factory build sheets and inspection records; comprehensive history file; the original bill of sale dated 8/6/1990; the original factory pack of owners' manuals and service book; and a pair of Rolls-Royce blankets and umbrella. A unique opportunity.The Fritz Feller-penned Silver Spirit debuted at the 1980 Paris Salon. It was not entirely new, however, and employed the floorpan of the outgoing model as well as its proven OHV 6,750cc V8 powerplant. The opulent incomer was lower and longer than the Silver Shadow and featured a considerably larger glass area. Courtesy of its finely-tuned Girling hydraulic self-levelling suspension, it was said to provide the best roadholding ever offered by the marque. It was also the first Rolls-Royce to feature a retractable version of the Spirit of Ecstasy - it automatically withdrew into the safety of the radiator shell if dislodged from its standard position. There were a total of four iterations of the Silver Spirit, via which it remained in production until 1998, by which time BMW had obtained an interest in the manufacturer and the Spirit was replaced by the BMW V12-powered Silver Seraph.

1977 Ferrari 512 BB- Supplied new to Adplans of London by Cooper Car Sales of Leicestershire- Current ownership since 2012 and just 33,300 miles from new- 1 of just 101 RHD examples- Complete with original order form, sales brochure, book pack and service bookBy the time the Daytona needing replacing, Enzo Ferrari had been won over by the mid-engined concept for his sports cars. The smaller Dino had proved to be a big hit and the mid-mounted offerings of his competitors were proving popular enough. The Pininfarina-designed 365 GT4 BB (where BB stood for Berlinetta Boxer) therefore became Ferrari's first such 12-cylinder road car.It was first presented at the 1971 Turin Motor Show and then a revised version debuted at the Paris Salon of 1976, for which the 512 nomenclature of Ferrari's racing past was resurrected. Aside of an increase in engine size to 4,942cc and a higher compression ratio of 9.2:1, the 512 BB featured a deep chin spoiler, NACA style brake cooling ducts on the flanks, wider rear tyres, twin rather than triple rear lights and twin rather triple exhaust tailpipes. The performance was as impressive as you might expect, the engine's 360bhp being sufficient to propel the Ferrari to 62mph in around 5.4 seconds and on to a top speed of nearly 190mph. Some 929 BB 512 examples wre produced before the model was replaced by the Boxer's final iteration - the fuel-injected BB 512i. The handsomely-presented sale car was supplied new to Adplans of London by Cooper Car Sales, Leicestershire. 1 of just 101 RHD examples its finished in Red over Black complemented by Black hide upholstery, it's been in the current ownership since 2012 and evidently covered just 33,300 miles from new. It benefited from a new clutch in 2012 and, more recently, the replacement of the plugs, distributor cap and handbrake lever, and retune of its Weber carburettors. The Boxer is now offered complete with: original order form; sales brochure, book pack and service book, tool kit; large collection of invoices; details of previous keepers; and an advisory-free MOT into February 2019. The registration 'BB 512' is available by separate negotiation.

1965 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII- A desirable home market, 'matching numbers' car- Supplied new by Cogger & Hawkins Ltd of Aylesbury complete with wire wheels and overdrive- Recently repainted and re-trimmed with 93,700 recorded milesUnlike many Big Healeys we see these days, `APO 373C is a genuine matching numbers, home market example that came off line in July 1965 destined for the dealer Cogger and Hawkins of Aylesbury, Bucks. It was built with a considerable number of desirable factory-fitted options including: overdrive, wire wheels, adjustable steering column, tonneau cover, laminated windscreen and heater. Fifty two years on, and the mileage stands at an eminently credible (be it unwarranted) total of 93,700. In 2009 the car benefited from an overhaul of its twin SU carburettors and the installation of an electronic ignition system. The gearbox and overdrive unit were overhauled in 2016, and in recent times the Healey has been repainted in its current shade of Blue, retrimmed in Blue-piped Cream hide and treated to a fresh Blue mohair hood. Taking all these improvements into account, the vendor presently views the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, straight-six engine and manual four-speed gearbox as all being `very good' order, and is now selling the 3000 complete with Heritage certificate, collection of old MOT's and invoices plus a fresh MOT certificate.The Austin-Healey 100 was the toast of the 1952 London Motor Show, from when the newcomer enjoyed steady development. The four-cylinder cars gave way to the 100-Six of 1956, which in turn was replaced by the first of the 3000s in 1959. The final iteration was the 3000 MKIII, which was launched in October 1963 and mildly upgraded (Phase 2) in May the following year. The most powerful and luxurious of all the derivatives, it had lively performance courtesy of its 150bhp straight-six engine and featured such niceties as wind up windows and a walnut-veneer facia. 3000 production closed at the end of 1967 after 42,926 had been made, 17,712 of which were MKIIIs.

1964 Morris Mini Cooper S 1275- Supplying new by Joseph Cockshoot & Company of Stockport, Cheshire - Current ownership for over 43 years- Subject to refurbishment in 2010/2011This interesting and very original `dry' suspension Cooper S was despatched to supplying dealer Joseph Cockshoot & Company of Stockport Cheshire on December 5, 1964. The accompanying Heritage Certificate confirms it was finished in Black over Tartan Red and trimmed in Red and Gold. The Morris has been in the vendor's care for over 43 years, during which time it has served as a rally car, but is now back in road trim following a programme of conversion and refurbishment in 2010/2011. The intension was to retain as many of the original parts as possible, so the vendor nowadays describes the Mini's condition as `good rather than concours'. The one major departure from standard specification is the engine block, which is the stronger version from a 1300 GT of the same era, but the original thin-flanged 1275 one (bored out to +40 but never decked) is included in the sale.The bodyshell was in good shape so no new panels were required, while the floor was repaired with period parts. The gearbox and twin SU carburettors are original. The suspension was overhauled using mainly new old stock items, while the brake calipers were reconditioned and re-installed along with new brake lines/pipes etc. The rear drums were renewed. The seats are of the Paddy Hopkirk bucket variety that came with the car. The wiring loom and speedometer are original but the carpets have been replaced as the originals were mislaid during the car's rally days. `GMA 102C' nowadays rides on Minilite-style wheels shod with period tyres. According to the vendor, only around 300 1275 Coopers Ss were equipped with the desirable `dry' suspension as fitted to this car, and while some were ordered with the optional extra fuel tank and oil cooler, this fascinating and desirable Cooper has neither to this day.

1990 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit II- Excellent oil pressure and everyting works as it should- Used as a daily driver- Body,interior,engine,gearbox Described as excellent by vendorThe Silver Spirit was launched at the Paris Salon in 1980. Penned by Fritz Feller, it was a welcome replacement for the long-serving Silver Shadow and the first of a new generation of models that spawned the Flying Spur, Silver Dawn, Touring Limousine and Park Ward for Rolls-Royce, and the Mulsanne and Eight Series cars of its sister company Bentley. Ultimately, there were a total of four iterations of the Silver Spirit, via which the popular model remained in production until 1998. The tidy-looking Spirit II on offer features Metallic Green bodywork teamed with Green-piped Black hide interior trim. The vendor presently grades its bodywork, interior trim, V8 engine and automatic transmission as 'excellent' and the paintwork as 'good'. A combination of the Rolls' general condition and MOT history suggest the modest indicated mileage of 43,047 is quite likely to be correct. Used as a daily driver, the vendor advises it has 'excellent oil pressure and everything works as it should' including the electrically operated and heated front seats. The current MOT is valid into September.

1998 Chevrolet Corvette- 93,000 miles from new- Complete with service book containing lots of stamp- Stainless steel sports exhaust and uprated brake discs'R922 EDB' is a lefthand-drive fifth (C5) generation example of the immortal Corvette line of sports cars that began with C1 in 1953 and continues with the C7 today. It is finished in an attractive shade of Metallic Blue teamed with Red-coloured brake calipers and Beige leather interior trim. Its 5.7-litre LS1 V8 engine benefits from a stainless steel sports exhaust that's complemented by a pair of fast-flow catalytic converters and Magnaflow tail section, plus a K&N air filter. Other improvements over the standard specification include uprated brake discs, suspension drop links and alloy wheels. The vendor currently classes the Targa-style bodywork, paintwork, all-alloy small-block engine and rear-mounted automatic transmission as being in 'excellent' order and the interior trim as 'very good'. The Chevy presently indicates a credible 93,000 miles and comes complete with a service book containing lots of stamps and an MOT valid until May 12 of this year.
