c.1930s Morgan Three Wheeler- c.1930s Morgan Three-Wheeler restoration project with Matchless V-Twin engine and Super Sports-style body - Abandoned on the vendor's farm over twenty years ago - Offered for sale at no reserve and without documentation This Morgan Three-Wheeler has lain unclaimed on the vendor's farm for over twenty years. The number plate it wears - 'APH 322' - is still recorded on the DVLA and HPi databases but is associated with the chassis number 'D363'. Whereas, the number visible on its torque tube seems to read either '89' or '68'. Thus, it is possible that this lot has no claim to the registration number 'APH 322' especially as chassis 'D363' began life as a Family (4-seater) model. By contrast chassis '89' was built as a Sports (2-seater) model. The Morgan Three Wheeler Club have told us they would support an application to the DVLA for chassis '89' (or chassis '68') to be allocated an age-related registration number provided that the Morgan was 'rebuilt with appropriate period parts'. In need of extensive restoration, the Three-Wheeler appears to be fitted with a water-cooled Matchless V-twin engine (MX2/673) and separate three-speed manual gearbox. Sporting a `barrel back' body, it is self-evidently incomplete. Nevertheless, this 'barn find' Morgan has the makings of a worthwhile project. Offered for sale with sundry spares but no documentation. PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been contacted by Martyn Webb, the Morgan Motor Company's archivist with the following information: 'The description that you have given is mostly correct although the engine number quoted (MX2/673) is for an air-cooled overhead-valve Matchless, whereas the engine illustrated has water-cooled barrels, (MX2 was air-cooled, MX4 was water-cooled), so it would seem that the engine has been altered in the past. According to our chassis records; MX2673 was originally fitted to chassis number D1704 which was a Super Sports model, despatched on 11th November 1936 to Jordan & Co, the Morgan dealer in Hull. 'APH 322' is a Surrey registration, so it is unlikely that this was originally allocated to chassis D1704. The body is a Super Sports model from the mid-1930s, so it may be that the engine is original to the body, albeit fitted with water-cooled barrels'. PLEASE NOTE: The Morgan Three-Wheeler Club have recently been in touch to say that they do not think this lot has a claim to the registration number 'APH 322', the corresponding logbook for which was apparently sold on eBay in 2006.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1918 Austin Twenty EXP1 Prototype Tourer- The very car that Edgar Wren drove nationwide to drum up orders for Austin's upcoming 20hp model- Rescued from a hedgerow as a rolling chassis and treated to an extensive restoration during the 2000s- Featured in numerous publications: The Autocar (1918), The Austin Advocate (1919) and The Automobile (2009)Herbert Austin was nothing if not ambitious. By the outbreak of the First World War the company that bore his name was Britain's fifth largest motorcar manufacturer. However, the firm with which he had begun his motoring endeavours, Wolseley, was the biggest. Accepting government contracts for aircraft, shells, heavy artillery and 3-ton lorries saw the Austin Motor Company prosper during WW1 and its workforce expand from 2,500 to 22,000. Sensing an opportunity to leapfrog his rivals and taking a leaf from Henry Ford's book, Herbert Austin decided to offer just a single model when peace returned. Hugely impressed by the Hudson Super Six he ran during the hostilities - an example of which had successfully completed the first two-way transcontinental trip from New York to San Francisco and back in 1916 - he challenged his designers to create a similarly well-engineered machine. The first prototype Austin Twenty began to take shape in the chassis erecting shop at Longbridge during 1917 and an abridged specification was published in that September's issue of The Austin Advocate magazine. Like the Hudson Super Six, the newcomer featured a substantial ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, rear wheel brakes, an engine of monobloc construction with in-unit, centre-change gearbox and a sheet metal radiator cowl. Displacing 3610cc, its unstressed sidevalve four-cylinder engine developed 40bhp @ 2,000rpm (an output sufficient for Austin to later warrant that the chassis could reach 70mph). Eminently tuneable, privateer Felix Scriven's `Sergeant Murphy' and the Works' `Black Maria' both proved that an Austin Twenty could beat a Bentley 3 Litre or Vauxhall 30/98 in competition (Scriven's mount reaching 104mph at Brooklands).Labelled P1's (with `P' signifying Post War), two prototype Austin Twenties were readied for 1918, a Landaulette and a Tourer. Road registered as `OB 6912', the latter sported a commodious four-door, five-seater body with a prominent hood well and internal storage for two spare wheels. With dreams of producing 25,000 cars a year (a gargantuan increase on the 3,000 that Wolseley had managed in 1914), Herbert Austin despatched Works test driver Edgar Wren on a nationwide trip aboard `OB 6912' to drum-up interest. With a projected price of just £495 for the Tourer, and thanks also to the efforts of sales organiser Alfred Dupuis who travelled the Commonwealth and was reliant merely on photos and specification sheets, Austin had attracted some £6,000,000 worth of orders by July 1919. Unfortunately, the company could not fulfil them. The government tax on excess war profits meant that Herbert Austin could not afford to fully equip his expanded factories and the awful carnage of World War One had resulted in a severe shortage of skilled labour. Without the hoped-for economies of scale, Austin found itself losing money on every Twenty sold and thus had to introduce a `temporary surcharge' of £100 per car in October 1919. Things went from bad to worse with the global economic slump of 1920-1921 and by December that year Austin was in receivership. The company famously bounced back with the Twelve and Seven models and the Twenty remained in production until December 1929 by which time some 15,287 had been made. Famously long-lived, it was not unheard of for a Twenty to cover in excess of 1,000,000 miles. Indeed, the motoring historian and long-term Twenty owner Mike Worthington-Williams has suggested that the model is `the hardest wearing machine of all time'. Presumed lost for many years, `OB 6912' was re-registered with the DVLA on August 2nd 1983. A rolling chassis when found, it was treated to an extensive `ground up' restoration during the 2000s with replacement parts being sourced or made as necessary. Using period photos as a guide the car's Tourer coachwork was painstakingly recreated and fitted with such niceties as an Auster screen, fold-out occasional seats and deep-button Black leather upholstery. There can be comparatively few cars that have been featured in magazine articles ninety-one years apart but as well as gracing the pages of The Autocar in November 1918 and The Austin Advocate in July 1919, `OB 6912' was the subject of a four-page article in The Automobile for August 2009. Described by the vendor as being in `excellent overall' condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork, he succinctly sums-up `OB 6912' as `a true piece of British motoring history'.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1936 Bentley 4.25 Litre Vanvooren Pillarless Sports Saloon- Supplied new to Jean Paul Boucheron of the jewellery dynasty and retained by his family until 2001 when it entered the current ownership- Very rare and elegant Vanvooren pillarless sports saloon coachwork- Built to RHD specification but for use 'in France and on the Continent' hence high ratio back axle, ski rack, 'Projecteur' centre spotlight, lightweight seats and Marchal headlights etc- Partial refurbishment during the current ownership (cylinder head overhauled, doors re-hung, bodywork repainted, upholstery re-trimmed etc)Unveiled to great acclaim at the August 1933 Ascot Races, the Derby Bentley was underpinned by a 'double dropped' chassis featuring all-round semi-elliptic suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a more potent version of its Rolls-Royce 20/25 sibling's 3669cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the newcomer was soon christened the 'Silent Sportscar'. Responding to increased competition from the likes of Alvis and Lagonda, Bentley gave its customers the option of a larger 4257cc engine during the 1936 season. Priced at £50, a comparatively modest sum compared to the cost of a basic chassis, the new unit proved so popular that the smaller capacity powerplant was soon dropped. Nicely balanced to begin with, the Derby Bentley chassis proved more than capable of handling the extra power and torque. Of the 1,241 4.25-litre variants produced, just 46 were clothed by the Parisian coachbuilder Vanvooren. Highly influential during the 1930s (its patents were employed by over forty European rivals), Vanvooren looked set to become Bentley's preferred body supplier for the soon to be introduced 'Corniche' version of the MKV model until WW2 intervened.According to its accompanying copy build card records, this particular example - chassis B244GA - was intended for use in 'France and the Continent'. Ordered by Franco Britannic Automobiles Ltd on behalf of Monsieur Jean Paul Boucheron of 81 Avenue Malakoff, Paris, it was loaded aboard the SS Silver Thorn bound for Boulogne on 15th May 1936. Part of the Boucheron jewellery dynasty which had crafted pieces for countless heads of state the world over (the Greville Tiara remains a favourite of the British Royal Family), Jean Paul possessed an understandable eye for detail. As well as having Vanvooren fashion notably handsome pillarless four-door sports coachwork for the Bentley, he specified a fuel gauge in litres, speedometer in kilometres, taller 11x43 rear axle ratio for improved high-speed cruising (which FBA Ltd took from chassis B154GA), special damper settings (120lb front / 100lb rear initial load at minimum position), twin side wheel carriers and jewel-like Marchal lights. Given the Paris registration number '740 X 75', the 4.25 litre saw enthusiastic use in Monsieur Boucheron's hands. Treated to a rear axle overhaul during September / October 1938 including new gears and half-shafts, the Pillarless Sports Saloon also gained dual Lucas Mellotone horns in January 1940 (just months before the invasion of France). The horns were augmented by a centre-mounted spotlight complete with 'Projecteur' switch on the leather covered dashboard, while other unusual features included a rear-mounted ski rack and lightweight front seats. Relocating to England, the Bentley passed to one of Monsieur Boucheron's relations, Dr Louis Hamilton, and remained in his care until 2001. Entering the current ownership when Tennants auctioned off the entire contents of Dr Hamilton's magnificent home 'Southerly', the 4.25 Litre had lain dormant for decades. Found to be surprisingly sound and got going with a jury-rigged fuel supply and fresh battery etc, the pillarless sports saloon was nonetheless treated to a partial refurbishment. As well as a 'wings off / doors off' respray, re-upholstered seats and new headlining / carpets, the Bentley benefited from a cylinder head overhaul and fresh exhaust system etc. Pleasingly retaining its original factory-fitted engine (number P9BS) and distinctive Vanvooren coachwork, the four-seater has only recently been granted the UK registration number 'YWG 928'. Never fully restored, it has been sparingly used over the past sixteen years and is still running on an oil-filled coil! Only being offered for sale due to the vendor's poor health, the 'Boucheron Bentley' is now seeking a third family to own it and perhaps make it the jewel in the crown of their collection.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1969 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser- Early example subject to comprehensive professional restoration in 2015/2016- Capri Blue with grey seats- Current MoT with no advisories to 21 January 2018The origins of the long-running Land Cruiser series of 4x4s date back to 1941, when the Japanese authorities ordered Toyota to reverse engineer the Jeep. The first Land Cruiser was launched 10 years later. The name has become a byword for rugged dependability in parts of the world where even the ubiquitous Land Rover has been known to struggle. The now classic FJ40 model was in production from 1960 to 1984.This RHD example was imported from Australia in 2015 and subjected to a comprehensive professional restoration in 2015/2016. The bodywork was restored by Sussex Coachworks whilst the engine and mechanics were entrusted to Imberhorne 4x4. We are advised that all panels were removed, shot blasted and resprayed in Capri Blue whilst the brakes, clutch, electrics, pistons, bearings, shock absorbers and cooling system were all renewed and the seats reupholstered. Used sparingly since completion, a shakedown journey to the Spa Classic was enjoyed with no issues. The vendor informs us the rear bench seat is not present, the odometer is missing a digit and the temperature sensor may need replacing. Otherwise he rates the bodywork as "excellent", the paintwork, engine and interior as "very good" and transmission as "good". Offered with current MoT with no advisories to 21 January 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1978 Panther Lima DTV- A rare Dealer Team Vauxhall (DTV) version - Completely refurbished in 1999 and has covered a mere 3000 miles since- Subject to a fresh service, new clutch and offered with receipts and old MOTsThe Panther Westwinds Lima was a fun two-seat Roadster based on Vauxhall Magnum mechanicals. The sale car is one of the rare Dealer Team Vauxhall (DTV) versions, whose 2.3-litre engine therefore benefits from a big-valve cylinder head fed by a pair of twin-choke Dellorto carburettors, high lift camshaft and four-branch exhaust manifold. The related transmission is a five rather than four-speed manual unit. The model is quick, with a 0-60mph time nearer 6 than 7 seconds. 'LCX 430T' is an extremely smart example finished in Red over Silver complemented by Black interior trim. The car was completely refurbished in 1999 and has covered a mere 3000 miles since, and is now offered complete with a fresh service, new clutch and reclining seats (the old ones are available), colour-co-ordinated inertia reel seat belts, air horns, push button start and battery isolation switch, all receipts and old MOTs, plus one valid to September 18, 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1990 Porsche 944 Turbo- Meticulously improved and fastidiously maintained- 21,500 miles ago all the mechanicals were treated to a comprehensive overhaul, and the engine blue-printed and tuned for increased driveability- Offered with a large collection of invoices, old MOT certificates, original handbook This is no ordinary 944 Turbo, having been meticulously improved and fastidiously maintained - all it needs now is a suitably caring new keeper. 'G886 PUA' is finished in Guards Red teamed with a Black interior and rides on genuine Design 90 alloy wheels shod with Toyo Proxes T1-R1 tyres. Every aspect of the body has received attention in the last few years and is presented in impressive order for its age. 21,500 miles ago all the mechanicals were treated to a comprehensive overhaul, during which the engine was simultaneously blue-printed and tuned for increased driveability. The major components were overhauled and balanced and the unit treated to a new hybrid turbocharger, resulting in a higher boost and lack of lag - this raised output from 250 to 318bhp. The attention to detail and its desirable modifications make this a special example of a sought-after model and is offered with a large collection of invoices, old MOT certificates, original handbook and service book. Featured in a recent edition of Modern Classics 'G886 PUA' is offered with an MOT certificate into October 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1934 Lagonda Rapier Tourer- 1 of just 470 made- Well maintained and improved over the last 30 years- An ideal entry to the world of prewar motoring and said to be in beautiful conditionIntroduced at the 1933 Olympia Motor Show, the Lagonda Rapier featured a notably advanced 1104cc DOHC four-cylinder engine that developed 50bhp @ 5,400rpm. Prohibitively expensive to manufacture, the model was dropped when Lagonda went into administration during 1935. Revived by the aptly-named Rapier Cars Ltd of Hammersmith, the new concern contributed a further 46 cars to the total production tally of 470 before folding in 1938. First registered in Belfast on 31st December 1934 (or so its 'CZ 7070' number plate would imply), this particular example - chassis D11284 - is known to have belonged to Terence Riggs Esq. of Havant some forty years later. Subsequently owned by well-known Lagonda Rapier Register member Mr Harold Fox of Buckinghamshire (1990-2002) and Mr Alan Croft of Surrey, the Tourer has more recently formed part of the Donington Park Collection. Reportedly treated to an engine and gearbox overhaul by acknowledged marque specialist I&J MacDonald during 1994-1995 and a bare metal respray by Metcalfe & Rosedale of Bedfordshire in 2000, the latter is understood to have involved five coats of primer and five of topcoat, prior to which parts of the ash body frame had been replaced and new front wings and running boards fabricated. At the same time the interior was re-trimmed in Connolly hide and Wilton carpeting, and some re-chroming carried out. Other components refurbished include the starter motor, dynamo, carburettors and magneto (the latter most recently in 2013) while the wiring has been replaced and an original Brooklands-style steering wheel fitted. Weather equipment consists of a double duck hood and full tonneau. Described by the vendor as being in 'beautiful condition', he goes on to say that 'this easy to handle vehicle is an ideal entry to prewar motoring'. Offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document, period brochure, instruction book and large history file containing numerous invoices.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1987 Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth- First registered to Ford's competition department & 23,100 miles from new - Presented in the livery of the Texaco Eggenberger car raced in 1987 by Klaus Ludwig and Klaus Niedwiedz - Current ownership since 2007 and build number 007 - Offered with a collection of old MOT certificates, sundry paper work, original service book plus sales brochure This very interesting fast Ford, build number 007, is one of just 500 righthand drive RS500 homologation specials created for the company by Aston Martin Tickford, with the aim of making the already highly competitive Sierra Cosworth 'unbeatable on the race tracks'. Probably a press car that was first registered to Ford's competition department in Cologne, before becoming the property of a Formula One manager and then part of an important collection of Ford vehicles after its arrival in the UK in 2007 when purchased by the current vendor. It is presented in the livery of the Texaco Eggenberger car raced in 1987 by Klaus Ludwig and Klaus Niedwiedz, with which they clinched the Entrant's division of the World Touring Car Championship for Ford, and would also have won the Driver's section too, had the RS500 not been disqualified from the James Hardie 1000 round in Australia for 'wheel arch panel irregularities'. 'E163 KHK' is understood to have covered only 23,100 miles from new and is offered with a collection of old MOT certificates, sundry German paper work, original service book plus sales brochure and it's understood the RS500 will possess a fresh MOT by the time of sale. The vendor classes its bodywork, Black paintwork, Grey interior trim, 2-0 litre engine and five-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'excellent' condition. A rare opportunity. Always quick to support the performance and motorsport markets, Ford introduced the be-winged XR4i in 1983, followed by the XR 4x4 in 1985, and the Sierra RS Cosworth in 1986, which was conceived to gain homologation for Group A touring car racing, and out of which grew the all-conquering RS500 Cosworth. The intention was to finish all RS500s in Black but, while most were, 56 ended up White and 52 were painted Moonstone Blue. The key differences between the standard product and the RS500 were: thicker walled cylinder block: larger Garrett turbocharger and intercooler; uprated fuel pump; uprated oil and cooling systems and secondary rear spoiler. The engine upgrades increased the output from 204bhp to 222bhp and the RS500 ultimately won 15 national series, including the 1990 British Touring Car Championship.PLEASE NOTE: We understand this Vehicle has not been presented for an MOT due to a braking system issue, which the Vendor believes may be linked to the ABS pump. A spare pump accompanies the Lot.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1970 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe- Warranted 13,000 miles from new in the hands of three American owners- Power steering, four-speed manual transmission, Black leather upholstery- Checked over by ADR Engineering of Wokingham since being imported to the UKIntroduced in August 1968, the Series II version of Jaguar's immortal E-Type sported redesigned bumpers and lights. Less noticeable was its enlarged front air intake which in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the newcomer better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc DOHC straight-six engine developing a quoted 265bhp/283lbft, the Jaguar was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. Rarer than its open two-seater and 2+2-seater siblings, just 3,786 left-hand drive fixed-head two-seaters were made.Finished in Opalescent Dark Blue with Black leather upholstery, this particular example - chassis P1R27815 - was supplied new to Jim Cox of Colorado Springs. Fitted with power steering and four-speed manual transmission, the Jaguar had covered just 881 miles by the time he sold it to F&R Import Ltd of Engleton, Colorado as an accompanying written affidavit from a Notary Public dated 2nd January 1987 confirms. Acquired by local enthusiast Karl Morgan thereafter, the E-Type returned to F&R for various works including a thorough engine overhaul with bills on file totalling some $14,600. Routinely serviced over the next twenty years (the mileage being stated as 10,925 on an invoice dated April 1995), the two-seater also benefited from the installation of a new wiring loom and general electrical refurbishment by Vintage Jag Works of Blackfoot in 2010 ($4,557). At some point ownership transferred to Karl's son David, of Idaho Springs, from whom the UK importer bought the car last year with a written affidavit certifying that its odometer reading of 12,990 miles was correct. Since arriving in the UK, the Jaguar has been checked over and treated to a full service, fresh battery, new front brake discs and rubber mountings, seals, bushes and hoses by ADR Engineering of Wokingham. Said to be in `very fine condition throughout', this highly original, `matching numbers', low mileage E-Type is worthy of close inspection.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1999 BMW 840Ci Sport- 69,200 miles and just five keepers from new- Original book pack and well-stamped service book- Collection of old invoices and MOT certificatesThe Klaus Kapitza-designed 8 Series (chassis code E31) was launched at the Frankfurt Salon in 1989. Though it effectively replaced the 6 Series, it was originally intended as an additional model line - an upmarket range with superior performance and price tag to match. From mid-1995 the 840Ci's original 4.0-litre engine was supplanted by a 4.4-litre one. The notably tidy automatic example being sold is finished in the attractive combination of Bahama Blue bodywork and Cream hide interior. It has covered 69,200 miles and has had just five keepers from new, the most recent of whom has covered just 1,000 miles a year in his two years of ownership. He informs us that the V8 engine, transmission and interior trim are all in 'excellent' condition and the bodywork and paintwork 'very good'. He is offering this pleasingly unmolested BMW complete with its original book pack, well-stamped service book and collection of old invoices and MOT certificates, plus one valid to November next year.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1996 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet- 1 of 129 UK-supplied cars fitted with the more powerful Varioram engine and six-speed manual transmission- Warranted 35,000 miles from new and with its previous keeper for thirteen years- Said to 'drive superbly as you would expect from such a nice, clean, low mileage example'Notable as Porsche's last air-cooled 911 range, the 993-series was introduced in September 1993. A quantifiable improvement in terms of handling, ride quality and refinement, the newcomer featured a monocoque bodyshell that was some twenty percent stiffer than that of the outgoing 964 series plus more planted multi-link rear suspension. Further benefiting from power-assisted rack and pinion steering and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, the 993 was powered by a reworked 3.6 litre flat-six engine allied to six-speed manual or semi-automatic Tiptronic transmission. With some 272bhp and 243lbft of torque on tap, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds and 167mph. Debuting in March 1994, the Cabriolet version boasted a specially reinforced windscreen and snug electrically-operated canvas hood. Updated alongside its coupe and targa siblings, the soft-top gained the improved Varioram powerplant for the 1996-model year (August 1995 onwards). Developing an extra 13bhp and 8lbft of torque thanks to its improved volumetric efficiency, the revised unit gave a small but welcome boost to performance. For many the last 'true' 911, the 993 made way for the water-cooled 996 in 1998.Finished in Iris Blue with Grey Marble leather upholstery, this particular example is understood to be 1 of just 129 UK-supplied 993 Carrera Cabriolets to feature the more powerful Varioram engine and six-speed manual transmission. Warranted to have covered just 35,000 miles from new, the Porsche belonged to its previous keeper for thirteen years. Able to boast an electric hood with Dark Blue cover, wind deflector, Clarion CD player, four-spoke leather steering wheel, air-conditioning, headlight powerwash, hardback sports seats, 17-inch alloy wheels shod with four fresh Continental tyres, Porsche fitted carpet mats and electric windows, the 2+2-seater is said to `drive superbly as you would expect from such a nice, clean, low mileage example'. Offered for sale with extensive service history and fresh MOT certificate.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1962 Hotchkiss M201 Jeep- Built in France under licence in 1962- Believed low mileage example in "good condition"- 24 volt, new carburettor, original shovel, axe and hoodKnown in France as 'La Jeep', the Hotchkiss M201 was the standard light transport used by the French army from the end of WW2 up until the 1980s. Initially built under licence as MBs, they were known as M201s from 1956 and remained virtually unchanged throughout production - a fitting testament to the efficiency of the original design.This LHD example was a licence built jeep produced in 1962 which was UK registered in 1998. Said to be in good running order, the vendor surmises from the condition of the chassis and transmission that it has covered relatively few miles in its lifetime. Fitted with 24 volt electrics, a new carburettor has been fitted although the original unit is included. Powered by a 2.2-litre petrol engine, it is accompanied by an original shovel, axe and hood. Said to have "excellent" bodywork, engine and electrics with "very good" paintwork, gearbox and interior, several old MoT certificates are included in the history file and the owner informs us it will have a new MoT in time for the sale.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1967 Volkswagen Type 2 Camper Van- Restored c.2013/14 by Auto Impressions including new floors and outriggers- Retrimmed interior in leather, rock n roll bed, engine overhauled- Green / White with Green leather, RHD'Barry' has been in its current ownership for seven years, during which this now exceedingly smart camper has been treated to a comprehensive restoration by Auto Impressions of Reading. Most of the Volkwagen's internal and external panels have been renewed, including the floor and cross-members, and all the running gear has been either replaced or refurbished; as has the car's original 1500cc engine. Once finished, the exterior was repainted in the original colours of White over Green, while a new Green leather interior by Trimmania was installed complete with 'rock and roll' bed, cooker, fridge, sink and stereo. A period roof rack was also added and the suspension lowered by one inch for a superior ride. The vendor now unsurprisingly views the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, flat-four engine and four-speed manual transmission as all being in 'very good' order and is now offering the Vdub complete with photos of the extensive work carried out.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1975 Land Rover 88 Series III- A matching numbers example that has covered just 50,000 miles from new- Served as a 'weekend toy' for taking to shows and events- Said to have 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, interior, engine and transmission.The ubiquitous land Rover steadily progressed from a single offering to a family of long and short wheelbase derivatives with an ever increasing choice of engines. The Series III of 1971-1985 is the most common, of which 440,000 were produced. Outwardly it was almost identical the IIA, but the diesel version benefited from a higher compression ratio and the gearbox from synchromesh on all ratios, while the cab featured a more modern, moulded plastic facia. The vendor informs us that this very pretty matching numbers example has covered just 50,000 miles from new. It is immaculately presented in White over Blue and powered by the standard specification 2.25-litre diesel engine of the period. In recent years it has served as a 'weekend toy' for taking to shows etc. Registered as an historic vehicle, it is currently regarded by the vendor as having 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, Black interior trim, engine and transmission.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1958 Jaguar XK150 S 3.4 Litre Roadster- The 7th righthand drive Roadster to be made and 48,300 recorded miles- Offered with a collection of old MOTs, invoices, dialogue of the restoration and Heritage certificate.- Extensive restoration in the 1990s by Goldsmith & Young of Warminster- Long term previous ownership, unleaded conversion and Coopercraft front brakesBy the time the XK150 was launched in May 1957, Jaguar had won Le Mans four times and was about to do so once again - what a backdrop against which to market a new sports car. Though the newcomer was a logical progression of the XK140, subtle changes to the bodywork gave this final iteration of the XK models a distinctly more modern air. The standard engine was the 3.4-litre DOHC straight six unit of the XK140, but most early 150s were fitted with the optional SE version that sported a cylinder head with larger exhaust valves and a pair of 1.75in SU carburettors. Still more power was available from 1958 in the form of the 'S' engine and its straight-port head linked to three SUs, for which 250bhp was claimed. By the time the model was superseded by the E-Type some 4,445 Fixed Head Coupes, 2,672 Drop Head Coupes and 2,265 Open Two Seaters had been produced.This exquisite 150 is possibly the first S version to be constructed and is certainly understood to be only the 7th righthand drive Roadster to leave the factory on the 4th December 1958 to Henlys of London. The first owner was a MR JHL Copper and its then understood to have been acquired by its long term previous keeper a Mr Murdoch Laing - initially of London but later Ross-shire, Scotland. 'VYR 764' was apparently treated to an extensive restoration of engine, bodywork and interior in the 1990s but, unhappy about the way it was progressing, Mr Laing had the task completed by Goldsmith & Young of Warminster. At some stage in the past the block has been replaced with a larger 3.8-litre unit, although it still retains the original triple carb head (no. VS1634-9) which has been modified to run on unleaded fuel and has been fitted with Coopercraft brakes. The vendor acquired the Jaguar in 2011, and presently considers the bodywork, paintwork, Tan leather interior, straight-six engine and four-speed manual transmission to all be in 'very good' condition. This rare and highly desirable XK is currently displaying (an unwarranted) 48,300 miles and is now being sold complete with collection of old MOTs and invoices, dialogue of the restoration and Heritage certificate.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

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!PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1986 Ford Escort RS Turbo- The subject of much restoration / recommissioning during 2016- Original grey cloth upholstery, subtly modified / upgraded 1.6 litre turbocharged engine- MOT'd till April 2018Developed by Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering Department, the Escort RS Turbo broke cover in October 1984. Far more than a souped-up XR3i, the newcomer featured heavy-duty suspension, improved brakes and a viscous-coupling limited slip differential (the latter a road car first). A production run of 5,000 was planned to homologate the model for Group A competition but demand was such that 8,604 were made (with 5,576 being UK supplied). Only available in Diamond White - except for Lady Diana Spencer's unique Black example - the three-door sported a comprehensive body kit and was powered by a turbocharged 1597cc CVH four-cylinder engine allied to five-speed manual transmission. With some 132bhp and 133lbft of torque on tap, the Fast Ford was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.8 seconds and 128mph. Described by Motor Sport magazine as "perhaps the most enjoyable hot hatch currently available on the British market", the Escort RS Turbo attracted a cult following that has gone from strength to strength over the last thirty-three years.Finished in Diamond White with Grey cloth upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in 'average / good' (interior trim), 'very good' (paintwork, electrical equipment) or 'excellent' (engine, gearbox, bodywork) condition. Reportedly the subject of an extensive restoration that was completed last year, C500 FKH' is further understood to have been featured in a recent Microsoft computer game. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and MOT certificate valid until April 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1960 Porsche Junior 108- The smallest and arguably most attractive of Porsche's four tractor ranges- Manufactured in the old Zeppelin factory of Friedrichshafen-Manzell, Germany- Restored circa four years ago and the perfect partner to any Porschephile's car collectionEven the little green men of Mars are probably aware of Porsche's ubiquitous 911 - the car its makers tried to kill off in the '70s yet is still alive and well 53 years on from its launch. However, not everybody will know that long before the 911 was a twinkle in Ferdinand Porsche's eye, he not only designed the 'People's Car' (the Volkswagen Beetle) but the People's Tractor (the Volk-Schlepper). However, with the intervention and politics of WWII it wasn't until 1956 that the famous name was to first appear on a production version of such a vehicle, and manufacture was only maintained until 1963, by which time Porsche had other priorities. Under the circumstances, the company's tractors are understandably rare and highly prized. The so-called Junior was the smallest and arguably most attractive of the four different models offered, all of which were manufactured in the old Zeppelin factory of Friedrichshafen-Manzell, Germany, and featured an innovative fluid coupling that connected the engine to a six-speed transmission. All four models were diesel-powered and between them covered the needs of most potential purchasers. The choice was as follows: Junior - 15hp; Standard - 25hp; Super - 38hp; and Master - 50hp.The delightful Junior 108 tractor now offered therefore represents a most unusual opportunity to acquire an agricultural cousin of the contemporaneous 356 car. Presented in the Red livery of all Porsche tractors, it was apparently the subject of a restoration around four years ago, since when it has formed part of a private vehicle collection. It is presently regarded by the vendor as having 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, single-cylinder 822cc engine and transmission and will doubtless be of potential interest to anybody with a passion for classic farm machinery, and would certainly be the perfect partner to any Porschephile's car collection. In short, a rare opportunity for enthusiasts everywhere.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1969 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow MPW Two-Door Saloon- 1 of just 606 made - Professionally re-modelled to 'Bentley' specification by Royce Engineering some thirty years ago- Less than 76,000 miles from new and MOT'd till next AugustThe Shadow's arrival in 1965 was none too soon and did much to reverse the notion that Rolls-Royce was falling behind the times. It resulted in many firsts for the company, including: unitary construction rather than separate body/chassis units, disc rather than drum brakes and independent rear suspension. Though shorter and narrower than the Silver Cloud III it replaced, the John Polwhele Blatchley-penned Shadow nevertheless possessed greater space for both luggage and passengers and certainly boasted far more contemporary looks. At launch it was powered by a 172bhp V8 engine of 6230cc, though this was enlarged to 6750cc during 1970. Early cars employed the same GM automatic transmission as the Silver Cloud, but this was superseded by the much vaunted Turbo Hydramatic system from 1970 onwards. The car's famed 'magic carpet' ride was achieved courtesy of a high-pressure hydraulic system licensed from Citroen. Initially it featured self-levelling at both ends, but this was deleted from the front in 1969. A two-door Saloon variant with coachwork by Mulliner Park Ward was made available from 1966, just 606 examples of which were produced before the model morphed into the Corniche in 1971.On behalf of a valued client, this decidedly handsome Mulliner Park Ward two-door Saloon was converted from a Rolls-Royce into a Bentley 30 years ago, by marque specialist Royce Engineering. It is presented in its original livery of Regal Red coachwork, Beige hide upholstery and Red carpets. The vendor presently classes the V8 engine and automatic transmission as 'excellent' and the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as 'very good'. The indicated mileage of 75,800 is apparently confirmed by the old MOTs that accompany the car, along with the driver's instruction manual, original tools, and even the emergency window winder handle; plus a current MOT certificate valid until August 18th 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1974 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC- LHD example registering c.44,000 miles only, Black coachwork with cloth interior- Previously registered to Island Trading Co and Palm Pictures with licence plate 'HYD 1'- Understood to have possibly been used by Bob Marley when visiting the UKSharing the same basic (R107) platform architecture as its convertible sibling, the Mercedes-Benz 450SLC fixed head coupe was introduced in 1972. A full four-seater, equipped with independent suspension, power steering and disc brakes, it proved a refined grand tourer. Predominantly allied to automatic transmission, its 4520cc SOHC V8 engine developed a quoted 217bhp and 265lbft of torque.This LHD example was previously registered to Island Trading Co and Palm Pictures (V5 on file) under licence plate 'HYD 1' and the vendor informs us it is believed to have been used by reggae legend Bob Marley when visiting the UK. Chris Blackwell, record producer and businessman, had helped forge Marley's career and was the founder of Palm Pictures and Island Records. Finished in black with grey / black cloth interior, the vendor now rates the bodywork, paintwork, engine, gearbox and interior as "very good". Currently registering just c.44,150 miles, the car is accompanied by a Swansea V5c document, MoT to July 2018 and a quantity of expired MoTs back to 1992.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1996 Porsche 911 Turbo- 1 of 277 UK-supplied, C16 specification cars- Meticulously maintained and just 76,500 recorded miles- Body, bumpers and brakes upgraded to 'S' specification A quantifiable advance over its 964 predecessor in terms of handling, ride quality and drivetrain refinement, the 993 benefited from a 20% stiffer monocoque bodyshell and the adoption of multi-link rear suspension. The work of Englishman Tony Hatter, its restyled bodywork remained faithful to the classic 911 silhouette but incorporated a more muscular stance with flared wheelarches, flatter-set headlights and advanced underbody aerodynamics. Introduced in 1995, the 993 Turbo was notable as the first forced induction 911 to feature four-wheel drive. Equipped with twin turbochargers, dual air-to-air intercoolers, electronic engine management, redesigned cylinder heads and strengthened internals, the newcomer's 3.6 litre flat-six engine developed a quoted 402bhp and 398lbft of torque. Period road testers had little difficulty in bettering Porsche's official performance figures (0-62mph in 4.5 seconds, 180mph top speed) and hailed the 993 Turbo as the fastest road legal machine to leave Zuffenhausen since the legendary 959 supercar. Visually distinguished from its lesser siblings by redesigned front / rear bumpers, widened rear wheelarches and a fixed rear wing housing the intercoolers, the model rode on special hollow spoke 18-inch alloys. Kept in check by four-wheel ventilated ABS disc brakes, the 2+2-seater offered a blend of speed, practicality and usability than no rival could match. Of the 6,676 993 Turbos made, just 277 are understood to have been UK-supplied, 'C16' specification cars.Finished in Zenith Blue Metallic with Classic Grey leather interior, this particular C16 example boasts a number of factory options including: a sunroof, top tinted windscreen, lumbar support (right seat), automatic speed control, pleated upholstery, coloured Porsche crest wheel caps, stainless steel door entry guards and rear wing side vents etc. Said to have been 'meticulously maintained throughout its life', the Porsche has also had its body, bumpers and brakes upgraded to 'Turbo S' specification. Showing a modest 76,500 miles to its odometer, the Coupe has covered less than 2,000 miles since being treated to new turbochargers. Forming part of a private collection for the past four years, this highly desirable 993 Turbo is offered for sale with book pack (including stamped service book) and MOT certificate valid until May 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1946 Rover 12hp Sports Saloon- Entered from a private Irish collection- Older restoration in good overall condition- Elegant four-light, sports saloon coachworkUnveiled in 1937, the Rover P2 range comprised 10, 12, 14, 16 and 20hp models. Benefiting from a stiffer chassis and rod-operated drum brakes, the newcomers were widely praised by the contemporary press for their quality, looks and performance. Powered by a 1496cc OHV four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the 12hp variant was credited with a nigh on 70mph top speed. Available in either 6-light Saloon or 4-Light Sports Saloon guises, a Tourer variant was added when production recommenced after WW2. Some 11,786 P2 12hp cars were made up until September 1939 and another 4,840 between 1946 and 1948.First registered in West Ham (or so its 'BJD 117' number plate would imply), little is otherwise known about the early history of this handsome 4-Light Sports Saloon. Belonging to David Whitehouse of Malton, North Yorkshire by August 1985, the Rover was sold to Michael Cayley Esq. of Sale, Cheshire some five years later. Mr Cayley is presumed to have carried out various restoration works before selling the 12hp to Clive Richardson Esq. of Welshpool in September 2008. As well as fitting a stainless steel exhaust, Mr Richardson paid attention to the car's steering box, brakes, shock absorbers and headlamps reflectors etc sourcing various parts from Meteor Spares Service Ltd of Nottinghamshire in the process. The Sports Saloon's last keeper prior to entering the current ownership was Jodie Green Esq. of Ely, Cambs. The most recent MOT certificate on file was issued during December 2010 since when the Rover appears to have covered some 700 miles. Presenting as an older restoration, the 12hp appears to pleasingly retain its original Brown leather upholstery and carries a supplier's plaque for Grose Ltd of Northampton to its dashboard. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and assorted invoices.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1947 Triumph 1800 Roadster- Entered from a private Irish collection- 1 of just 2,501 made- Engine overhauled by Maidstone Sports Cars during 1990Despite Donald Healey's best efforts to reinvent Triumph as the British equivalent of Alfa Romeo, the firm was essentially bankrupt by the time war broke out in 1939. Subsequently revitalised by Standard impresario Sir John Black, Triumph was able to launch two new models - the 1800 Saloon and 1800 Roadster - during 1946. Styled by Frank Callaby, the latter was a flamboyant mix of 1930s styling cues and boasted what was reputedly the last dickie seat to be incorporated into a production car. Bodied in 'Birmabright' aluminium alloy over ash (save for its steel pontoon front wings), the Roadster was underpinned by a tubular ladder-frame chassis featuring independent front suspension, a 'live' rear axle and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a 1776cc OHV four-cylinder engine (shared with the contemporary Jaguar range) allied to four-speed column-change manual transmission, the model was reputedly capable of 80mph. Superseded by a larger-engined version in 1948, just 2,501 1800 Roadsters are thought to have been made.According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, this particular example - chassis TRD/1086 - was built to right-hand drive export specification complete with kilometres speedometer on 28th August 1947. An underbonnet plaque for Fergus Motors of New York suggests that the Triumph was resident in America for a while. Repatriated during the late 1980s, the Roadster had its engine overhauled by Maidstone Sports Cars during June 1990 (cylinder head refurbished, new valves / guides, fresh piston rings and big end bearings etc). Forming part of a private Irish collection for the last quarter of a century, this charming Triumph appears to be in basically good overall condition and started readily during our photography session (October 2017).PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1966 Austin Gipsy Series IV Station Wagon- Purchased new by the police force in Whitchurch, Hants but designated as a reserve vehicle and scarcely used - Remarkably original having had just three private keepers since being sold off by the police in 1996 - Believed to have covered just 4,952 miles from new! Introduced in 1958, the Austin Gipsy featured an all-steel body and fully independent suspension utilising Flexitor rubber units developed by Alex Moulton. Powered by a 2199cc OHV four-cylinder engine that drove all four wheels via an all-synchromesh, four-speed gearbox coupled to a high/low ratio transfer box, the newcomer would climb a 45-degree slope and haul a maximum payload of 0.5 tons. The Series II Gipsy of 1960 was available in short- (90in) or long-wheelbase (111in) guises and had its mountaineering credentials proven when a team of London University students used one to scale Ben Nevis (Britain's highest peak at 4,406ft). There was no Series III Gipsy, but at the end of 1962 the leaf-spring equipped Series IV appeared. Gipsy production ceased in 1969 after some 21,208 examples had been sold. A rare Series IV Station Wagon, this particular example was reportedly purchased new by the police force in Whitchurch, Hants. However, the allocation of a fleet of Ford Transits saw the Austin quickly consigned to the role of reserve vehicle and stored in a local garage. Its services were never called upon and the garage proprietor purchased it from the police during 1996. He in turn sold the Gipsy to its previous keeper some seven years later. Entering the current ownership via our October 2010 auction, the Austin had not long been treated to a new clutch master cylinder and brake overhaul (at a cost of £911.91). Described at the time as being 'immaculate and original', it remains highly presentable today. Believed but not warranted to have covered just 4,952 miles from new, the Series IV Station Wagon has formed part of a private Irish collection for the past seven years. Starting readily during our photography session (October 2017), it is accompanied by assorted spares, workshop manuals and old Whitchurch-issued tax discs etc.PLEASE NOTE: This lot is currently registered in Eire and as such does not carry the UK number plate 'KYP 637D' which was surrendered when it was exported. It should be possible to reunite the Austin with its original number plate should a new owner so wish. Although, this will be at the discretion of the DVLA.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1958 Jensen 541 Deluxe- Bare shell restoration 2013/2014 including retrim with Maserati-sourced leather, wooden dash etc.- JOC 'Best in Class' cup holder 2015/2016, Rosso Red with Mustard leather- Laycock overdrive, disc brakes, triple SUs, one of just 53 examples builtLike its contemporary Interceptor, Jensen's 541 flowed from the pen of Eric Neale, and first saw the light of day at the 1953 London Motor Show, with production commencing the following year. It had many points of interest. For example it was the first Jensen to feature a predominantly glass reinforced plastic body, the entire front section of which hinged upwards in order to give optimum access to the engine compartment. The material was chosen to overcome the relative post-war shortage of steel, and provide an economical solution to the problem of manufacturing a complex design in small numbers. There was also the benefit of a reduction in weight and, with the contribution of alloy-skinned doors and Perspex rear windows, the newcomer's overall dry weight was 2,690 lb versus the Interceptor's 3,020. Interestingly, not only was the body impressively light, but aerodynamic too - the drag coefficient of 0.39 being notably low for a large car of the period concerned. So to another first - in Deluxe specification, the 541 was also the first British four-seater car to be equipped with Dunlop disc brakes all round.The innovative body was mounted on a rigid steel chassis and the ensemble powered by a triple carburettor version of Austin's proven DS5 engine, complete with Weslake high compression cylinder head. The resulting output of 135bhp was sufficient to propel Motor magazine's test car to 60mph in 10.8 seconds and on to a mean top speed of 115.8mph. The unit drove through a four-speed manual transmission for which there was the option of Laycock de Normanville overdrive. Suspension was independent at the front by wishbones and coil springs, while the live rear axle was supported by leaf springs and further located by a Panhard rod. A total of 226 541s are known to have been built between 1954 and 1959, 53 of which were the Deluxe version that featured all the otherwise optional extras as standard. The original 541 was supplanted by the 541R and then 541S, bringing total series production to c.546, of which the Jensen Owners' Club believes less than 150 remain in existence.The appropriately registered 'TSV 541' now offered for sale is a 541 Deluxe that came off the line in November 1958. We should set the scene by pointing out that it won the Jensen Owners' Club's Best in Class Cup in 2015/2016, so is certainly no run-of-the-mill example. It was acquired by the vendor in 2012 having been dry stored for around 20 years. At this point it was stripped to a bare shell and every component, large or small, either replaced or refurbished as required. The exterior finish of vibrant Rosso Red was left unmolested, as it remained in fine order from an earlier repaint. The car was, however, treated to a new Maserati-sourced Mustard Yellow leather interior that's complemented by a bespoke light-coloured wood facia. This delightful Jensen seemingly wants for nothing, as its comprehensive specification includes: overdrive gearbox, twin stainless steel exhausts, chrome wire wheels, auxiliary front lights, period sports wing mirrors, and a period push-button radio fed by a roof-mounted aerial. The vendor currently classes the interior trim and transmission as 'excellent', the bodywork and paintwork as 'very good to excellent', and the straight-six engine as 'very good'. 'TSV 541' has so far travelled just 3,295 miles since the restoration was completed in 2014, and this lovely example of one of the British industry's rarer classic GT cars is now being offered complete with an MOT valid into October 2018, together with certificates covering the full period of the Jensen's current ownership.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe- 1 of 1,584 RHD Series 1 4.2 Fixed Head Coupes made- Purchased by the vendor from Eagle E-Types as a project car and extensively restored during 2014-2015- Original engine but sympathetically upgraded with a Tremec T5 gearbox, electronic ignition, Bluetooth 'hands free' telephone facility etcTriumphantly launched at the March 1961 Geneva Salon, Jaguar's '150mph' E-Type was the sports car that (a) put the swinging into the 'swinging sixties', (b) no lesser a man than Enzo Ferrari dubbed 'the most beautiful car in the world', and (c) transported a galaxy of stars from Brigitte Bardot to George Best, Tony Curtis to Donald Campbell and Roy Orbison to Steve McQueen. Though not designed as a racer, the E-Type was nevertheless a direct descendent of the all-conquering D-Type and thus had motorsport embedded in its DNA. Equipped with all-round independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes, its handling and roadholding proved more than a match for most rivals. Just one month from launch Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori drove the Equipe Endeavour E-Type ('ECD 400') to victory at Oulton Park and some fifty-six years later the model remains a force to be reckoned with in historic racing. Updated during August 1964, the Jaguar gained a larger 4235cc XK DOHC straight-six engine and more user-friendly manual gearbox with synchromesh on each of its four forward speeds. Thankfully, the Big Cat's beautiful styling remained unaltered until the introduction of the so-called Series 1.5 cars during September 1967 by which time just 1,584 RHD Series 1 4.2 Fixed Head Coupes had been made. According to its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate, this particular example - chassis 1E20499 - was completed on 26th March 1965 and despatched to South London Motors Ltd early the following month. First owned by Derek Clark, it subsequently passed to Surrey residents R.H. Hopkins, K. Lockhart, Michael Hammond and Edward Baylis. Taken off the road during the 1970s, the E-Type was re-registered with the DVLA under its original registration number 'ELA 867C' on April 1st 1979. Changing hands three times thereafter, the Fixed Head Coupe was purchased by the vendor in October 2013 from Henry Pearman of renowned specialist Eagle E-Types. Mr Pearman had been holding the Jaguar in stock as a suitable candidate for one of his company's restorations but agreed to sell it 'as was'.Enlisting the services of craftsmen local to his Suffolk home, the vendor had chassis 1E20499 treated to an extensive 'bare metal' restoration during 2014-2015. The bodyshell was repaired as necessary and its opening panels trued for alignment before being painted Opalescent Dark Green. The interior was re-upholstered by Aldridge Trimming and the brightwork refurbished. A Tremec T5 five-speed manual gearbox was fitted for improved high-speed cruising (the original gearbox and propshaft come with the car) and the E-Type further upgraded via the installation of a heated rear window, electronic ignition, updated starter motor, Bluetooth 'hands free' telephone facility, period looking but modern stereo, improved cooling and uprated brakes. Sent to marque specialist Roach Classics Ltd for a stem to stern 'spanner check', 'ELA 867C' was found to need little by way of adjustment / improvement. Unhappy with the performance of the car's original 'matching numbers' engine the vendor has just recently had it overhauled again this time by Woodbridge Classic Cars.Still being 'run in', the straight-six started readily upon inspection and ran well during our recent photography visit (October 2017). A handsome, home market car, 'ELA 867C' has much to recommend it. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original logbook, restoration photos and MOT certificate valid until September 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

2004 BMW 645Ci Convertible- From the estate of the late Tara Palmer-Tomkinson- In her ownership from 2004 until 2017- 33,000 miles, grey with red leatherFirst registered in April 2004, this beautifully presented BMW was owned by the late Tara Palmer-Tomkinson from December 2004 until she passed away in February. Costing £80,000 new, the original 'IT' girl bought the car at the peak of her celebrity and was often photographed in this convertible which was her 'pride and joy'. As its paperwork could not be found after her death, it was re-registered in her brother's name, but has not been driven since. The overall mileage is well-below-average at only c.33,000 miles. The car is now offered for sale by the family, the proceeds from which will be distributed between Tara's nieces and nephews. It is finished in Metallic Grey and trimmed in Red leather.In 2005, 'YE04 WPV' was stolen to order by a notorious gang who used a master forger to produce a logbook in a fake name to obtain a key from an unsuspecting BMW dealership in Stuttgart. It was driven away from outside her flat in Kensington and when Tara discovered it was missing she appealed for information, offering dinner at the Ivy as a reward. She was thrilled when the car was quickly recovered by the police at Birmingham airport and safely returned to her. Of the 34 high worth cars taken by the gang with a total value of £2 million Tara's treasured BMW was one of only 6 that were ever found.The family presently consider the BMW's bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, 4.4-litre V8 engine and six-speed automatic transmission to all be in 'excellent' condition. An attractive car with interesting history that comes complete with an MOT valid into November next year.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1968 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 2+2- Subject of a gradual comprehensive restoration that included conversion to righthand drive- Dispalys a credible 59,705 miles and fitted with five-speed manual gearbox- Offered complete with photos of the respray and engine overhaul`STN 169F' is a Series 1.5 model that was dry stored in the USA for 25 years before being repatriated in 2005. Since then it has been the subject of a gradual comprehensive restoration that's included conversion to righthand drive, a bare metal respray in British Racing Green, the installation of new Black leather interior trim (with the exception of the rear seat material), and overhaul of the 4.2-litre engine. Along the way it has acquired a stainless steel performance exhaust manifold and five-speed manual Getrag gearbox. However, due to unforeseen circumstances the Jaguar has remained unused since the completion of the work, and so is reluctantly being made available for sale. The odometer currently displays a credible (though unwarranted) 59,705 miles, and the vendor presently regards the car's bodywork, paintwork, XK engine and replacement transmission as all being in `very good condition, and the interior trim as `good'. The Jaguar comes complete with photos of the respray and engine overhaul. An affordable entry into the wonderful world of the E-Type.The 2+2 Fixed Head Coupe of the immortal E-Type (known as the XKE in America, where most examples were sold) was introduced in 1966. Nine inches longer and featuring a more vertical windscreen, it was equipped with a pair of small rear seats and a notably airy feel courtesy of its stretched wheelbase and raised roofline. It benefited from the same fully independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and disc brakes as its two-seater brethren. Powered by a 4,235cc DOHC straight six engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283 lbft of torque, it was the first E-type model to list automatic transmission as an option. Only in production for some three years, a mere 5,600 are thought to have been built, just 1983 of which were examples of the Series 1.5 version.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1938 MG TA- Restored in 1980s and nicely mellowed with wonderful patina- Original registration number and buff logbook- History file including invoices and photos of the restorationAnnounced in 1936, the TA established the famous T-Series pedigree which would persist until the mid-1950s. Designed around a simple new ladder-type chassis frame, with beam axles and front and rear, allied to ultra-stiff leaf springs, the newcomer was powered by an overhead-valve engine allied to part-synchromesh four-speed manual transmission. The top speed was up to 75mph, the ride was firm, but the entire driving experience was exhilarating. A total of 3,003 TAs were produced until 1939.First registered on 6th April 1938 and understood to retain its original registration number, GRE 318 was restored during the 1980s and has been in the current ownership since 2005. Now finished in red with a lovely patina to the red leather seats, the car has been used sparingly by the vendor, mainly attending various shows around the country. Accompanied by a continuation buff logbook dating from 1960, Swansea V5C, assorted expired MoTs, invoices and restoration photographs, the most recent invoice on file relates to replacement of the master cylinder and front wheel brake cylinders in May 2017. Now only being offered for sale to assist with a family member's house purchase, this lovely TA is described as a "good useable example" with "very good" bodywork, engine, gearbox and interior and "good" paint.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1982 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit- Finished in Cream with Red leather interior- Registers just 52,000 miles and has had 6 previous keepers- Offered with original service book and a collection of old MOT certificates plus Tax discsLaunched in 1980, the Silver Spirit relied heavily upon the underpinnings of its Shadow predecessor prompting Autocar to comment that its raison d'etre was more to do with "maintaining traditional standards rather than making a spectacular advance". Nevertheless, the Spirit was credited with handling and roadholding that were "the best yet from Rolls-Royce". Its all-round independent coil-and-wishbone suspension featured automatic, olio-pneumatic ride height control to the rear and adjustable dampers at the front. Powered by the ubiquitous 6750cc, OHV V8 engine mated to three-speed automatic transmission, it was reputedly capable of 120mph and benefited from power assistance to both its disc brakes and steering rack. Importantly, this evolutionary design remained faithful to the luxurious ambience of its predecessors using only the finest quality hides, carpets, chrome fittings and wood veneers for its matchless interior.Finished in Cream with Red leather interior, 'XEW951X' registers just 52,000 miles and has had 6 previous keepers. Understood be have recently been removed from dry storage its offered with its original service book and a collection of old MOT certificates plus Tax discs.

1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 B 'Adenauer' Saloon- Offered for spares or repair, LHD, Red leather upholstery - Engine and gearbox removed in the past (though, parts of the former appear to remain) - Imported from the USA some years ago, comes with an old US title and proof of UK VAT paid. Synonymous with (and nicknamed after) Konrad Adenauer - the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany - who ran no less than six during his tenure, the Mercedes-Benz Type 300 (or W186) was launched at the 1951 Frankfurt Motor Show. Able to accommodate up to six people, the Type 300 was available in Saloon or Cabriolet guises. A credible rival to the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud / Bentley S1 pairing, the vast majority of the 6,214 Type 300 Saloons made were to left-hand drive specification. Finished in Black with Red leather upholstery, this left-hand drive example is offered for spares or repair having had its engine and gearbox removed at some stage in the past. The gearbox is missing but various parts of the engine remain including, what we guess to be, the cylinder block, cylinder head, cam cover, sump and assorted internals (such as pistons and conrods etc). The bellhousing, steering wheel, twin Solex carburettors (plus associated manifolding) and sundry items of door furniture etc are present too. Described by the vendor as having 'good' bodywork but 'poor' interior trim and paintwork, this incomplete Mercedes-Benz is being sold strictly as viewed and without documentation. PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been informed that this lot comes with an old US title and proof of UK VAT being paid from when it was imported several years ago.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1991 Rover Mini Cooper- Just undergone an extensive bodywork restoration, windows out re-paint and mechanical overhaul- 69,400 miles from new and offered with a collection of invoices and old MOT certificates- Described as ''excellent" with regards to the bodywork, paintwork, engine and gearboxWith the after effects of the 1956-1957 Suez Crisis being felt worldwide, Leonard Lord commissioned Alec Issigonis to work on a radical small car project. His response was the now legendary Mini. Featuring an ingenious transverse-mounted powertrain (with engine sat atop of the gearbox), all-round independent 'rubber cone' suspension, front-wheel drive and compact rack and pinion steering, the newcomer was a packaging masterpiece; not to mention one of the most influential automotive designs ever conceived. A fine example of a Rover Mini Cooper in British Racing Green with a white roof and black cloth upholstery 'J535 JUT' has just undergone an extensive bodywork restoration, windows out re-paint and mechanical overhaul. Having covered 69,400 miles from new it is offered with a collection of invoices and old MOT certificates.

2001 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage- 'Huge maintenance record with 15 Aston Martin stamps'- Last serviced at 86,672 miles and 'ready to go!'- Bi Xenon headlights, reverse parking sensors, Touchtronic semi-auto "For the record, the Aston Martin Symphony for 12 cylinders and 2 exhausts is the sweetest sound on tuned pipes this side of J.S. Bach himself . . . If Venus were to come calling as a GT coupe, she'd look like this" (Car and Driver, September 2000).Introduced at the March 1999 Geneva Salon, the Vantage version of Aston Martin's landmark DB7 broke with marque tradition by using a wholly different engine rather than a punchier version of its sister car's existing powerplant. Breathed on by Cosworth, the newcomer's 'heart' was a 5935cc 48-valve, all-alloy V12 that developed 420bhp and 400lbft. Initially available with a choice of six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission, the DB7 Vantage could be had with ZF's Touchtronic semi-auto from 2000 onwards (0-60mph in 4.9 seconds, limited 165mph top speed). To cope with such performance, the 2+2-seater's structure, suspension and brakes were all upgraded. Asked to rework his masterpiece, stylist Ian Callum added a reshaped back bumper, more pronounced sills, combined driving lamps / indicators and horizontal bars to the radiator grille. Priced at £92,500, Aston Martin's flagship came with central locking, electric windows / mirrors, traction control, ABS, air-conditioning, front airbags, alarm / immobilizer and 18-inch alloy wheels as standard. Notable as the marque's first V12 production model, the DB7 Vantage lasted until 2003 by which time some 2,385 coupes had been made.Finished in Buckinghamshire Green with Green-piped Cream leather upholstery, this particular example also boasts a walnut fascia, ZF 'Touchtronic' semi-auto transmission, reverse parking sensors, Bi Xenon headlights and fitted carpet mats. Last serviced at 86,672 miles, the DB7 Vantage is said to possess 'a huge maintenance history with fifteen Aston Martin stamps'. Described by the seller as 'beautiful looking and ready to go!', 'KE51 FKK' is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and two keys. A great early Christmas present!PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1960 Austin-Healey 3000 MKI- Current ownership since 1973 and treated to an engine overhaul and general restoration between 1989 and 1992- Equipped with competition clutch, straight-cut gearbox with competition overdrive, limited slip differential, alloy sump and guard and Works hard top- Competed in the 1997 Monte Carlo and 1999 Rally des Alpes classic rally eventsThis purposeful-looking Big Healey has been in its current ownership since 1973 and was treated to an engine overhaul and general restoration between 1989 and 1992. In more recent years it has served as a classic rally car, and to that end is equipped with: road rally camshaft, six-branch exhaust manifold, competition clutch, straight-cut gearbox with competition overdrive, limited slip differential, alloy sump and guard, Works hard top, roll hoop and Cibi£ auxiliary lights, and in this form competed on the 1997 Monte Carlo and 1999 Rally des Alpes events. More recently, '1735 ME' has benefited from new wings and dampers on the rear.It is finished in the attractive combination of White hard top over Light Metallic Blue bodywork, teamed with dark Blue interior trim. The vendor currently considers the bodywork, interior trim, straight-six engine and transmission to be in 'very good' order, and the paintwork to be of a 'good' standard, and is selling the Healey complete with green log book, large collection of tax discs and old MOTs, plus one valid into August of next year. The following are available by separate negotiation: hood, tonneau cover and bumpers.The 'Big' Healey enjoyed steady development, with the early four-cylinder cars giving way to the 100-Six in 1956, and the first of the 3000s in 1959. By now engine capacity had risen to 2912cc and power output to 124bhp - sufficient to grace the standard car with a 0-60mph time of 11.4 seconds and a top speed of 114 mph. There was the option of Laycock de Normanville overdrive, and braking had been improved by the adoption of discs at the front. There were two body options - a two-seater (BN7) or occasional four-seater (BT7). By the time of the MKII in 1961, a total of 2,825 BN7s and 10,825 BT7s had been produced.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1924 Peugeot 172 BS Grand Sport- Formerly road registered in France and more recently Belgium- Very rare and pretty Vintage sports car- Discretely modified with a propshaft-driven alternator, electric cooling fan and electronic ignition (hidden within the magneto)Still suffering from the financial woes inflicted upon it by World War One, Peugeot sought to increase sales by concocting a neat cyclecar design that fell within France's lowest 100 Francs per annum tax bracket. Unveiled at the 1920 Brussels Salon, the resultant Type 161 (quickly christened the Quadrilette) weighed less than 350kg yet featured a water-cooled 667cc sidevalve four-cylinder engine, three-speed transaxle, supple leaf-sprung suspension and rear wheel brakes. Very much a full-size car in miniature, and therefore appealing to the same market as the Austin 7 in Britain, early Quadrilettes were characterised by their narrow track and tandem seating. Incorporating more space for people and luggage alike, the wider tracked Type 172 arrived during 1923 (complete with two abreast seating). Among the rarest Quadrilette variants, the Type 172 BS or Grand Sport was powered by an enlarged 720cc engine. Aimed at the sporting motorist, its sleek torpedo coachwork was typically teamed with blade wings. Very much in the same idiom as the Austin 7 Ulster and Amilcar CGS `Grand Sport', the Peugeot was rarer than either. Only available for 1924, just 100 Type 172 BS Grand Sports were made.Originally registered in France (or so an accompanying Permis de Circulation from 1933 which identifies it as a Type 172 BS would suggest), this delightful Grand Sport has more recently been resident in Belgium where it wore the number plate `OA1767' and was the property of Daniel Vanhoolant. Understood to have participated in numerous `Ecurie Les Trapadelles' events and still bearing the Club's name to its cowl, the Peugeot also wears a Veteran Car Club of Belgium plate confirming its year of manufacture. Self-evidently the subject of much past restoration work, the Grand Sport has been discretely modified with a propshaft-driven alternator, electric cooling fan and electronic ignition (hidden within the magneto).PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1948 Morgan 42829- A restoration project that may have had past competition usage- 0-8,000rpm Aquaplane rev counter, twin spare wheels and replacement Ford engine- Offered for sale at no reserve and without documentationAccording to the Morgan Sports Car Club's records, 'JYH 340' was despatched to a London dealer on 3rd July 1947 in an unfinished state (i.e. not painted or trimmed). Originally powered by a Standard 10 OHV engine allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox, the 4-4 acquired what appears to be a Ford 1172cc sidevalve four-cylinder engine prior to being abandoned on the vendor's farm over twenty years ago. Now in need of total restoration, the presence of a 0-8,000rpm Aquaplane rev counter and twin spare wheels suggest that the Morgan may have had past competition usage. Offered for sale with a quantity of spares but no documentation.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1927 Morris Cowley Tourer- In family ownership for the last 20 years- Conversion from six to 12 volt electrics- Known to the Morris club and offered with original handbookWilliam Morris' sturdy and affordable Cowley helped change British motoring from an elitist pastime to transport for the masses, and therefore hold an important place in automotive history. No less than 150,000 were produced between 1919 and 1926. This very well presented example is finished in Blue and trimmed in leather of the same colour. It was treated to a extensive restoration back in 2003 but has since averaged less than 100 miles between MOT tests. The venerable Morris has remained within the same family ownership for the last 20 years, and is considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork complete with dickie seat, interior trim, engine and transmission, and 'very good' paintwork. Its specification includes a conversion from six to 12 volt electrics and the vendor informs us that 'everything works as it should'. 'SV 9654' is known to the Morris club and is now being offered complete with its original handbook.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

2000 Jaguar XKR Convertible- Two previous owners and every MoT from new- Maintained by Yardley Garage for ten years- BRG with Barley interior, c.57,000 miles only, MoT to April 2018The 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. Displaying just c.57,000 miles and described as being in "very good" condition, this cosseted example has formed part of a private collection and been enjoyed by just two previous owners. Finished in BRG with Barley interior, it was maintained by Yardley Garage for a decade and comes with spare keys, book pack, all old MoTs, tonneau cover and MoT to April 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1964 Triumph Herald 12/50 Skylight Saloon- Entered from a private Irish collection- Warranted 16,200 miles from new- Rare, surviving 'Skylight' (sunroof) modelLaunched in April 1959, the Triumph Herald was styled by Giovanni Michelotti. Equipped with all-round independent suspension and rack-and-pinion steering, its new chassis would later underpin the Spitfire, GT6 and Vitesse. An accomplished town car, criticism as to its lack of pace was answered by the introduction of the '12/50' for 1963. Powered by an 1147cc four-cylinder OHV engine that developed 51bhp and 63lbft, it was capable of some 80mph. Visually distinguished by a new grille, the '12/50' also boasted a folding 'Skylight' sun-roof and front disc brakes.According to its original logbook, this example was first registered as '563 XTG' to P.W.E. Longhurst Esq. of Penarth on 25th March 1964. The same document bears just four road fun licence stamps; the last one expiring on 28th February 1968. Acquired by Terry Lewis's Amman Garage thereafter, an accompanying invoice from DJ Motors of Llanelli suggests that the Triumph remained in Wales until the end of the 20th Century. Dated February 25th 2000, a letter on file from D. Chapman Esq. of Wombwell, Barnsley states: 'I have known the above vehicle for many years. The vehicle is totally original in every way. It has never been welded or sprayed, the mileage of 3,027 is correct'. Responsible for adding over 10,000 miles to its odometer, John West Esq. of Chalfont St. Giles owned the Herald from April 2002 - June 2006. Entrusted to Kingsdown Garage of Faringdon a month later by its next keeper, Anthony Goodyer Esq. of Whitchurch, Hampshire, the 12/50 benefited from attention to its back axle, speedo cable and brakes etc. Last issued with a MOT certificate at 15,801 miles on 13th May 2010, the Triumph has since covered a further 400 or so. Dry stored as part of a private Irish collection for the past few years, '563 XTG' is a true timewarp that remains in remarkably original condition.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1953 Ford Zephyr 6- Entered from a private Irish collection- Rare, surviving first generation Zephyr 6- Tubular exhaust manifold, aftermarket rear blind and bench seats re-trimmed in leatherIntroduced in early 1951, Ford's Consul (four-cylinder) and Zephyr (six-cylinder) models were notable for their use of a monocoque bodyshell, MacPherson Strut independent front suspension and hydraulic drum brakes. Able to seat up to six thanks to the provision of a front bench seat and column gearchange, the Ford duo were powered by a new generation of 'oversquare' engines. Notably rugged and surprisingly quick, the 2262cc OHV-engined Zephyr Six proved a highly effective rally car with Maurice Gatsonides winning the 1953 Monte Carlo Rally aboard one (beating a Jaguar MKVII into second place) and Vic Preston piloting another to victory on the 1955 East African Safari Rally. Updated in September 1952, the Zephyr gained a revised dashboard with a separate instrument pod that mimicked the shape of its grille. For those Zephyr owners who wanted more performance Raymond Mays offered a range of tuning goodies from twin carburettors to freer-flowing exhausts. Suitably enhanced, the six-seater Ford could give contemporary sportscars a run for their money with a 95mph top speed!Finished in Blue with Light Grey leather upholstery, this particular example has formed part of a private Irish collection since 2006. The Ford's front and rear bench seats have been re-trimmed at some stage (leather was an optional extra in period) but its door cards look to be original. Under the bonnet the Zephyr's six-cylinder engine sports a tubular exhaust manifold but otherwise things appear pretty standard. The saloon's rear window carries an aftermarket sun blind. Wonderfully evocative of the 1950s and a comparatively rare survivor today, this appealing Ford looks to be in good overall condition and started readily during our photography session (October 2017).PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

c.1968 Hillman Imp Californian- Warranted 82 miles from new! - Original paint, upholstery and engine etc - An unrepeatable opportunity for Imp enthusiasts everywhere Launched in 1963, the Imp was the Rootes Group's counter to the already ubiquitous Mini. It was manufactured in the tiny town of Lindwood, Scotland and designed by Michael Parks and Tim Fry. The result was decidedly innovative and reportedly the first mass-produced car equipped with an all-alloy engine and the first volume-made British one to have its powerplant mounted in the rear. The upmarket Super Imp variant arrived in September 1965, co-incident with the MKII version of the standard car. It brought additional brightwork; over-riders; dummy front grille; wheel trims; full carpet; added sound-proofing; and a generally upgraded interior, including door-operated courtesy lights and integral ashtrays. Launched in late 1966 with the slogan 'Hallo Beautiful - meet the Imp with the fast-back look', the Californian also sported a raked windscreen, lowered roof line, dropped steering column and curved side windows for increased shoulder room etc. The work of in-house stylist Ron Wisdom, its svelte lines hid a revised front suspension set-up (less positive camber and reduced ride height) that resulted in more predictable / exploitable handling. Some £71 more expensive than its Saloon sibling, the handsome Coupe accounted for circa 6,100 domestic sales before production ceased in 1970. Thought to be unique, this particular example - chassis B401006507HCO - has covered just 82 miles from new! A former demonstration model, the Hillman has yet to be road registered (a process which The Imp Club could doubtless facilitate if a valid MOT certificate were obtained for the car). Finished in Forest Green with Green vinyl upholstery, the diminutive four-seater Coupe unsurprisingly still retains its original engine. Starting readily during our photography session (October 2017) and benefiting from a recent brake overhaul, this timewarp Californian is quite simply amazing and represents an unrepeatable opportunity for Imp enthusiasts everywhere! PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been contacted by a member of the Hillman Imp Club who believes that this Californian was previously sold via a BCA auction on July 31st 2004 at which time its odometer showed just 40 miles. The associated catalogue description stated that the four-seater had not only been 'purchased new in 1968 by a somewhat eccentric aircraft engineer' but also 'remained in storage for the majority of its life'. BCA quoted a registration number of 'MDP 248F' but noted that the Hillman was not registered with the DVLA and lacked any registration documents. The vendor was told by his late father who acquired the Imp for their family collection that it was a former demonstration model that had never been registered. However, he is prepared to accept that it might be the ex-BCA car if only because the odds of two such ultra-low mileage, Forest Green Californians still existing must be slim indeed! The seller is happy to warrant the present odometer of 82 miles as representing the total covered from new and considers that the car's condition and originality speak for themselves.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1978 Triumph Stag- Part of the renowned Patrick Collection from new until December 2004 when it entered the current ownership- Notably late example that has covered just 10,800 miles from new- Original Passport to Service, handbook, Supercover documentation, 4-speed maual plus overdriveIntroduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and servo-backed disc / drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon in order to fashion the initial prototype), the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. Neatly integrated, the substantial roll-over hoop that joined the B-pillars gained extra strength from a T-bar link to the windscreen frame. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph.

1990 Ford Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth 4x4- 2 private keepers & just 15,843 miles from new- Complete with original book pack with all handbooks plus service book- Described as 'excellent' with regards to the bodywork, paintwork, interior, engine and manual five-speed gearboxReleased in the September of 1982, the Ford Sierra was a replacement for the ubiquitous Cortina and its German sibling, the Taunus. The aerodynamic styling was arguably ahead of its time and caused initial controversy - one eminent UK journalist nicknaming it the 'jelly mould'. Ford had the last laugh, however, with sales eventually reaching 1,299,993 units over the 11 years of production; making it Britain's 10th most popular car up to that time.Always quick to support the performance and motorsport markets, Ford introduced the be-winged XR4i in 1983. This was followed by the XR 4x4 in 1985, the Sierra RS Cosworth in 1986, the Sierra RS500 Cosworth in 1987, the Sierra Sapphire in 1988 and the Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth 4x4 in 1990; some 12,250 of which were manufactured before Ford's power mantle was assumed by the Escort RS Cosworth in 1992. Though the 4x4 Sapphire never managed to emulate the two-wheel drive Cosworth's victory in a round of the World Rally Championship (Corsica, 1988), it nevertheless become a popular and successful weapon in national events, and examples are still contesting club rallies to this day.The immaculate example offered is understood to have started life as a showroom demonstrator and has only covered 15,843 miles to this day. Following periods in the care of St Helens Ford and then Corner Ford of Coventry, it was the property of a Mr Nigel Leek of the same city from 1990 until acquired by the vendor in 2007. Equipped with Bosch Green injectors and a ceramic clutch, the Cossie is presently considered by its vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, White paintwork, Black interior trim, 2-litre engine and manual five-speed gearbox. He is now offering it complete with original book pack with all handbooks plus service book, collection of old invoices, tax discs and MOT certificates, plus one valid into August 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

A superior example fully suited to today's roads and traffic.Introduced in the May of 1957, the XK150 was the last Jaguar sportscar to utilise a separate chassis. Though a logical progression of the XK140, subtle changes gave it a distinctly more modern air. At launch, it was offered in Fixed and Drophead Coupe guise, the Roadster option following in 1958. By the time the model was superseded by the E-Type in 1961, some 4,445 Fixed Head Coupes, 2,672 Drophead Coupes and 2,265 Roadsters had been produced.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.
