1929 Bugatti Type 44 Vanvooren Saloon- Extensively restored by Wilkinsons Coachbuilders of Derby from 1990-94 and 8,500 miles since- Exquisite Vanvooren saloon body began life aboard another T44 that was supplied new to Jean Jacques Peugeot (of the car making dynasty)- Beautifully detailed with unusual triple-hinged doors and among the most delightful Vintage Saloons we have encountered"This Bugatti is decidedly sporting; yet it is just as emphatically smooth and sweet, and the flexibility on fourth speed is remarkable. When I ran Bugattis for two and a half years, I thought myself quite lucky if I got more than 400 or 500 yards of fourth speed in London . . . This 3 litre straight eight could be driven from 'The Bear' at Esher to Aldgate Pump on fourth speed, using third only for restarting after traffic lights. It is just as refined as it is fast; just as amusing a car in the hands as ever the little beggars were . . . For what my judgement is worth, the 23.6hp Bugatti is one of the five best, most interesting, most friendly, companionable and altogether delightful motorcars that can be bought in London today" (Edgar Duffield in the Automotor Journal, 1928).Introduced at the October 1927 Paris Salon, the Type 44 was heralded by Motorsport magazine as Bugatti's "first serious attempt at a Touring car". In the best Molsheim traditions, much of its exquisitely crafted running gear was common to other models. Thus, the new arrival's chassis was essentially carried over from the preceding Type 38, while its circular front axle, spiral-bevel back axle, four-speed manual gearbox and multi-plate clutch were derived from the Type 40 / Type 43 models. An acknowledged masterpiece, the Type 44's 2991cc straight-eight engine was based around two cast-iron cylinder blocks (complete with non-detachable heads) and boasted a centrally-driven single overhead camshaft that operated twenty-four valves (sixteen inlet / eight exhaust). Running in nine plain bearings (as opposed to the five roller ones used on the Type 35B etc), its finely balanced two-piece crankshaft endowed the unit with enviable smoothness and flexibility. Quoted as developing 80bhp, it was reputedly capable of running at anything from 125rpm to 4,500rpm. Praised for its pliant ride, taut handling and excellent refinement, the Type 44 rode on leaf-sprung suspension (semi-elliptic front / reversed quarter-elliptic rear) and benefited from self-compensating cable-operated 330mm drum brakes. Bodied by the likes of Kellner, Weymann, James Young, Vanvooren and Molsheim itself, the Type 44's 3122mm wheelbase and 1250mm track played host to some wonderfully stylish coachwork. A typically strong performer - Motorsport magazine coaxed an indicated 95mph out of Colonel Sorel's fabric saloon - the model also proved to be Bugatti's most commercially successful car with some 1,095 rolling out of the factory gates between 1927 and 1930. Prized by enthusiasts worldwide, some led more adventurous lives than others (Norbert Jean Mahe drove his modified Type 44 to ninth overall but second in class at the 1934 Le Mans 24-hour race). Little more than ten percent of Type 44 production is thought to have survived to the present day. Indeed, this particular example owes its continued existence to two siblings which donated their original engine and coachwork respectively. According to renowned Bugatti historian David Sewell, chassis 44667 was delivered new to London and first registered as 'MT 1338' by Middlesex County Council. Although the identity of its first owner is a mystery, the Type 44 is known to have belonged to Eric Tutton Esq. of Hayfield, near Stockport by the late 1930s. Confronted with cracked cylinder blocks, Mr Tutton jettisoned the original 3-litre straight-eight engine in favour of a much smaller four-cylinder Bugatti 'Brescia' one. The replacement powerplant served for some 50,000 miles thanks, in part, to some frame rail shortening and the fitment of a lightweight tourer body (taken from a Riley Lynx).Acquired by dealer David Baldock Esq. some years later, chassis 44667 then passed to James Taylor Esq. (minus its second engine but complete with front / rear axles and gearbox). A Dover-based scrapyard owner, Mr Taylor retained the car until his death in 1980. Entering the current ownership a decade later, the original chassis frame was returned to its correct dimensions with the assistance of Mr Sewell who also helped source another Type 44 3-litre engine (ex-chassis 441192). As the then proprietor of the well-regarded coachbuilding / restoration firm Wilkinsons of Derby (established 1904), the vendor could have had any body design he fancied crafted for the Bugatti. Instead, he chose to rejuvenate the wonderfully elegant Vanvooren saloon coachwork that had initially adorned Jean-Jacques Peugeot's Type 44 (chassis 44694). A member of the car making dynasty, Monsieur Peugeot took the enclosed four-seater off the road when World War Two broke out during September 1939.Unfortunately, his chateau at Montbeliard was subsequently occupied by German forces who one day used the Bugatti for target practice leaving tell-tale bullet holes in its doors. Returned to Monsieur Peugeot after the cessation of hostilities, the Type 44 remained with him until 1962 when it was given to 'Jabbo' Klopper of the Netherlands. Mr Klopper chose to re-body chassis 44694 and thus its Vanvooren coachwork was acquired by Wolf Zeuner. A friend of Mr Sewell, the latter had been drawn to the saloon body not only because of its unusual patina but because of its elegant lines and high quality construction.Unlike several of its peers, Vanvooren body number 2154 featured triple rather than double door hinges. Whether or not the Courbevoie-based coachbuilder was trying to curry favour with the Peugeot family by taking extra care over its fabrication is an intriguing but unproven hypothesis. Photographically documented, the refurbishment of 'MT 1338' took some four years to complete (1990-1994) and included a thorough overhaul of its correct type but replacement engine. Covering some 8,500 miles since then, the Bugatti has been on several tours and remains a credit to its restorers. Starting readily upon inspection, it is quite simply among the nicest detailed and most appealing Vintage Saloons that we have encountered.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1967 Volvo P1800 S- Much restoration work in 2016 including sills, floor and outriggers- Glass-out repaint, White with original Red leather interior- Striking similarity to the final car featured in the 1960s TV series 'The Saint'Based on a design exercise by the Swedish-born Pelle Petterson whilst working at Frua, the Volvo P1800 sports car was officially unveiled at the January 1960 Brussels Salon. Not entering production for a year, the newcomer's sleek two-door monocoque bodyshell was equipped with independent front suspension, a coil-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc / drum brakes. Powered by a 1782cc OHV four-cylinder engine breathing through twin SU carburettors, allied to a four-speed manual gearbox, it was capable of over 100mph.The P1800 was immortalised in the 1960s TV series 'The Saint' starring the late Roger Moore and this lovely righthand drive UK example bears a striking resemblance to the last car used on the show (NUV 647E), even down to the unusual driving lamps. During filming, Moore used a Pearl White example upholstered with red interior as his personal transport.In 2016 the car was the subject of much restoration work including attention to the sills, chassis, floors and outriggers, followed by a glass-out repaint in white. Retaining its original red leather interior which is described as being in "good" condition, the odometer now displays some 92,600 miles. We are advised the bodywork, paintwork and panel gaps are all "excellent", whilst much of the chrome has been replaced. Both engine and transmission with overdrive are said to be "working well" and this stylish coupe rides on period style Minilite wheels. It is expected to possess a fresh MoT in time for the sale.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)
1963 Ford Zodiac MKIII- Genuine 40,000 miles from new with substantial history file including 19 MOTs- Recent expenditure includes new carburettor, fresh tyres (x4), auto gearbox overhaul and engine top end refurbishment- Said to 'drive well and never welded', MOT tested until September 2017This very smartly-presented automatic transmission example of Ford's third generation Zodiac has apparently covered just 40,302 miles from new - an average of around 750 miles a year! Finished in White with a Red roof and interior trim, it is presently regarded by the vendor as having 'good' bodywork, paintwork, upholstery, straight-six engine and gearbox. He adds that the Ford is 'very reliable, drives well and its automatic gearbox changes as it should'. Within the last four years '5523 RU' has been treated to a new carburettor, a top-end engine and gearbox overhaul and four fresh tyres, and is now being sold complete with a two inch thick folder of invoices and no less than 19 old MOTs, plus a current one valid to September 27. Now a very rare sight on our roads, the MKIII Zodiac was Ford's top of the range model from 1962 to 1966 and would have cost c.£1000 to buy new.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

2005 Hummer H2- 13,600 recorded miles and private 'H2 HVE' registration- The high specification includes aftermarket 24" alloy wheels with new tyres and 2006 spec interior- The Vendor currently classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and gearbox as 'very good'Hummer was a brand of trucks and SUVs, first marketed in 1992 when AM General began selling a civilian version of the M998 Humvee. In 1998, General Motors purchased the brand name and marketed three vehicles: the original Hummer H1, based on the military Humvee, as well as the H2 and H3 models that were based on smaller, civilian-market GM platforms.Finished in black with a black leather interior 'H2 HVE' was first registered in the UK in 2005 and was acquired by the current keeper in 2008. The high specification includes aftermarket 24" alloy wheels with new tyres, 2006 spec interior with heated and electric seats and rear 6th seat option. The vendor currently classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and gearbox as 'very good' and it is offered with an MOT certificate into May 2018. A rare sight on UK roads.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)
1949 Dodge Wayfarer Roadster- Presented in Aircruiser Red allied to Beige upholstery- Understood to have been fully restored in 2011- Imported into the UK from Canada, where it had been a multiple trophy winnerLow-cost two-seat Roadsters were plentiful and popular on the American market in the `20s, but somehow fell out of favour. So, in an attempt to spice up an otherwise rather lacklustre line-up 20 years later, Dodge hit upon the idea of turning the clock back and including a basic Roadster within its new 1949 Wayfarer range, that also comprised a two-door Saloon and Business Coupe and, of 63,816 Wayfarers sold that year, 5,420 were Roadsters. The emphasis was on fun and affordability, so the specification included a single bench-type front seat and relatively rudimentary hood. Power was provided by an L head straight-six engine of 3.8-litres. Those lower than hoped-for first year sales were put down to the post-war public requiring more creature comforts that their predecessors, so for 1950 the Roadster was slightly up-specced and renamed the Sportabout. As the required targets were still not met, the model had been dropped from the range by 1952, but there is no doubt its initial inclusion had created some much-needed interest in the otherwise rather tired Dodge brand and, as is so often the way (think MG C for example) the Roadster, the model that never quite took off in period, is now the most sought after of the Wayfarer family.The delightful 1949 example now offered was imported into the UK from Canada, where it had been a multiple trophy winner. It is understood to have been fully restored in 2011, work that included the fitment of new glass throughout and a fresh interior. The Dodge is presented in Aircruiser Red allied to Beige upholstery and the vendor these days classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and manual three-speed transmission as all being in `Excellent' order. He says it `runs and drives very well' and is selling the car with MOT into June 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)
1953 Lagonda DB 2.6/3.0 Litre Drophead Coupe- Supplied via Brooklands of London to Sir Peter Ustinov CBE FRSA and notable as the renowned actor / writer's first new car purchase- Built as a 2.6 litre model but uprated with a 3 litre engine by the factory in November 1954 (and a four star diff three years later)- Retained by Ustinov for twelve years and current ownership since 1968- Engine overhauled in 1997 and veteran of numerous Continental trips- 'NLO 950' quite possibly inspired HRH The Duke of Edinburgh to order his own Lagonda 3 Litre Drophead Coupe given that both he and Ustinov were members of The Thursday ClubNotwithstanding Lagonda's commitment to the war effort, their chief engineer W.O. Bentley - ably assisted by W.G. Watson and Donald Bastow - began work on a new car in early 1944. Conceived as a sports saloon, the resultant design boasted an innovative chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension and hydraulic drum brakes (inboard at the back). Powered by a DOHC straight-six engine featuring hemispherical combustion chambers, its flowing lines were partially attributable to Frank Feeley. Unveiled to an enthusiastic press in September 1945, production plans for the exclusive `2.5 Litre' were stymied by Lagonda's inability to negotiate sufficient steel supplies given the prevailing `export-or-die' atmosphere. Unable to recover financially, the marque was bought by industrialist David Brown in 1947. Merged with Brown's other recent purchase Aston Martin, the two companies operated out of the latter's Feltham premises. In addition to donating its powerplant to the nascent Aston Martin DB2 programme, the `2.5 Litre' was developed in its own right. Fitted with a David Brown S430 four-speed synchromesh gearbox, rack-and-pinion steering and hypoid back axle, it reappeared at the October 1949 Earls Court Motor Show as the DB Lagonda 2.6. Highly regarded but expensive, the model evolved through a MKII version and reputedly accounted for just 511 sales (386 saloons and 125 drophead coupes) before giving way to the DB 3 Litre in 1954. Marque concessionaire Brooklands of Bond Street are understood to have purchased the last sixteen DB 2.6 MKII chassis and had them bodied as a mixture of fixed-head and drophead coupes by Tickford Ltd of Newport Pagnell. The resultant six 'tin tops' and ten 'soft-tops' presaged the styling of their equivalent DB 3 Litre successors exactly. The last 'Brooklands of Bond Street' Drophead Coupe made, chassis LAG50/536 has the further distinction of being the first new car bought by Sir Peter Ustinov, CBE FRSA, the acclaimed raconteur, writer and star of stage and screen. Born Peter Alexander Freiherr von Ustinov on April 16th 1921 in Swiss Cottage, London, his ancestral connections ranged from Russian nobility to the Ethiopian Royal Family! Fluent in Russian, French, Italian, German, and English, Ustinov befriended David Niven whilst serving in the Royal Sussex Regiment during World War Two and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh when all three were members of The Thursday Club. Indeed, it is quite probable that Sir Peter's purchase of 'NLO 950' inspired Prince Phillip to commission his own Lagonda DB 3 Litre Drophead Coupe (which we sold last year for a world record price of £346,800). A true car enthusiast, Ustinov returned chassis LAG50/536 to its maker to be fitted with a larger 3 Litre engine in late November 1954 and a four-star differential some three years later. Part of his stable when he won Best Supporting Oscars for Spartacus (1960) and Topkapi (1964), the Lagonda is known to have belonged to Coleman & Sons of Coalville, Smith Capell & Company of Northampton and Breedon General Services Ltd of Derby before entering the current family ownership during 1968. Re-trimmed in Grey leather the following decade, the Drophead Coupe received a new hood during 1986 courtesy of Northampton-based coach trimmer R.A. Waite. Invited to take part in the Display of British Coachwork Commemorating the Centenary of the British Motor Industry at Hagley Hall in the West Midlands on May 11th 1996 by The Worshipful Company of Coachmakers and Coach Harness Makers of London, the four-seater was treated to an engine overhaul some twelve months later. The cylinder liners showed remarkably little wear (.002thou) but the crankshaft was re-ground and new main / big-end bearings installed etc. The clutch friction plate and a propshaft universal joint (ahead of the gearbox) were renewed at the same time too. A stainless steel exhaust was commissioned for the car during 2000 and remains in situ. Damage to a rear wing prompted a full respray in 2001 which was carried out by Aston Martin specialist Four Ashes Garage Ltd of Stratford-upon-Avon. The colour chosen was a close match to the Lagonda's original Metalichrome Gulf Blue livery but some sixteen years on the finish has deteriorated. The same year also saw the radiator refurbished, while more recent fettling has seen attention paid to the dynamo (2005), water pump / gearbox oil seal (2006) and cylinder head (2011). The vendor proudly tells us that 'NLO 950' has never failed a MOT test during his forty-nine year stewardship and attributes its longevity to the basic excellence of W.O. Bentley's design and the extensive use of wear resistant phosphor bronze fittings for the steering and suspension etc.Driven to the Continent on an annual basis up until a few years ago, chassis LAG50/536 started readily upon inspection and behaved well during our photography session. The seller is understandably reluctant to say goodbye after nearly fifty years but feels a new custodian should be given the opportunity to either enjoy the 'Brooklands of Bond Street' car 'as is' or restore it to its former glory. A decidedly rare and elegant motorcar with a great provenance. Offered for sale with copy factory build / maintenance records, numerous bills and current MOT certificate valid until April 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1969 Austin Mini Cooper MKII- Built on March 10th 1969 and supplied new via Murray and Charleton Ltd of Middlesborough- The subject of an extensive 'bare metal' restoration from 2010-2011 - A 'matching numbers' example that retains its original bodyshellIntroduced in Autumn 1967, the MKII version of the Mini Cooper had lost none of its predecessor's vim or driving appeal. Powered by a 998cc four-cylinder A-series engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, it was still capable of humbling many a more exotic sportscar when the going got twisty. According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, this particular example was built on March 10th 1969 and despatched to Murray & Charleton Ltd of Middlesborough the following day. Originally finished in Tartan Red with Black upholstery, the Austin was acquired by its previous keeper, Robert Russell of Chelmsford, during November 2009. Having ascertained that the Mini retained its original bodyshell, engine and gearbox, Mr Russell set about an exhaustive 'bare metal' restoration which took over a year to complete (March 2010 - April 2011). An understanding of the lengths he went to can be gleaned from viewing the blog section of www.bornagaincars.com. Suffice to say that the refurbishment would have been wholly uneconomic if Mr Russell who is a System Engineer for the Ford Motor Company had entrusted it to a third party! A testament to the quality of the bodywork rejuvenation, the finished car apparently required no adjustment when checked with laser wheel alignment equipment. Mr Russell overhauled the engine and gearbox too as well as paying attention to the interior, steering, suspension, electrics, carburettors and subframes etc. A real labour of love, the Cooper was acquired by the vendor in April 2013 as a 'starter classic' for his children. Sadly, they have not taken to it and aside from some sunny day outings 'NXG 805G' has been little used. Deemed by the vendor to be 'very good' with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim, the Austin remains a fine testament to Mr Russell's skill. Offered for sale with BMIHT Certificate, V5C Registration Document and MOT certificate valid until May 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)
1973 Alfa Romeo Montreal- Recent mechanical work by Montreal specialists Super Engineering- White with black velour interior, c.71,500km- French registered, LHD example of this stunning grand tourerAsked to produce a cutting edge automotive design for the 1967 Montreal Expo that would "express man's ultimate aspirations in the field of motor cars", Alfa Romeo enlisted the help of Carrozzeria Bertone. Penned by Marcello Gandini, the resultant show car caused a sensation and inspired Alfa Romeo to start work on a production version which debuted at the 1970 Geneva Salon. With its shark-nosed profile, NACA-style bonnet duct and vented B-posts, the newcomer had been eagerly awaited by the press and public alike. However, many automotive journalists at the time, who were anticipating a bona fide supercar rather than a competent grand tourer, gave the car mixed reviews. Nevertheless, its all-round coil-sprung suspension (independent double-wishbone front / 'live' trailing arm rear) and ventilated disc brakes helped ensure decent roadholding and handling.Powered by a dry-sump 2593cc 'quad-cam' fuel-injected V8 derived from Alfa Romeo's successful Tipo 33/2 sports racers, the model also boasted a ZF five-speed manual gearbox and limited slip differential. With a quoted 200bhp and 173lbft of torque on tap, it was capable of 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds and 137mph. Marketed somewhat haphazardly between 1970 and 1977 and hampered by the fuel crisis of the early years of that decade, despite strong initial public demand just 3,925 Montreals are thought to have been made. In recent years Gandini's design has come to be appreciated for exactly what it is - an exotic and highly capable long-distance tourer which never fails to turn heads.This French registered lefthand drive example is finished in White Bianco with black velour seats and has recently received a mechanical overhaul by Montreal specialists Super Engineering. The vendor advises some £10,000 has been spent including a new exhaust system and injection system overhaul. Described as being in "good" condition with regard to its bodywork, paintwork, engine, interior and gearbox, it is understood a detailed report of the recent works undertaken will accompany the car.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1976 Toyota HJ45 Land Cruiser Pickup- Subject to a recent extensive restoration, mechanical and engine overhaul- Offered with photographs of the restoration plus current V5C- Displaying 62,400 kms and offered with an MOT certificate into April 2018.The 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. With the experience of several military trucks behind it, the company then launched the first Land Cruiser 10 years later. The name has subsequently 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 Land Cruiser models were produced from 1960 to 1984, and the righthand drive version now offered is of the two-door pickup variant that hails from 1976 powered by the 3.6-litre six-cylinder diesel engine driving through a four-speed manual gearbox. This smart looking example has been subject to a recent extensive restoration, mechanical and engine overhaul and is offered with photographs of the restoration plus current V5C and letter from Toyota confirming the build date. Displaying 62,400 kms the vendor currently classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and manual gearbox as 'Very Good' and is offered with an MOT certificate into April 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe- 1 of just 1,583 RHD examples made and supplied new to George Edwin Jones Esq. of Totley, Sheffield- 'Matching' chassis and engine numbers and treated to a bare metal restoration by Baz Cope Engineering from 2013-2015- Mr Cope used to work for renowned marque specialist CMC of Bridgnorth and incorporated strengthened sills etc- Accompanying history file includes the car's original green logbook and numerous restoration photos and bills etcUpdated in August 1964, Jaguar's iconic E-Type 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 model's beautiful styling remained unaltered until the introduction of the so-called Series 1.5 cars during September 1967 by which time just 1,583 RHD Series 1 4.2 Fixed Head Coupes had been made.According to its original green logbook, this particular example was initially road registered as 'GWA 505C' by Sheffield County Council on May 1st 1965. Supplied new to George Jones of Totley, it passed thereafter to John Wright, John Boyle, Ernest Moore, Goforths of Doncaster, Norman Bond, Griffiths & Norman and Robert Waugh of Hull. Laid-up following its acquisition by the latter in 1976, the Jaguar was re-registered with the DVLA some seven years later whilst in the care of Beverley resident I.C. Whiting. Subsequently belonging to David Baxter and Michael Wilson, the Fixed Head Coupe entered the current ownership during late November 2012. Formerly employed by renowned marque specialist CMC of Bridgnorth, Baz Cope provided mechanical assistance for several of Philip Porter's E-Type Club tours and it was on one such event that the vendor met and befriended him. Thus, Mr Cope agreed to undertake an extensive restoration of 'GWA 505C' at a heavily discounted labour rate. Photos on file show that chassis 1E20541 had been the subject of much 'corner cutting' work in the past. Hundreds of hours went into repairing its bodyshell and opening panels. The replacement sills were strengthened in accordance with current Martin Robey practice and a new engine frame installed. Attention was paid to the wiring, steering, clutch, heater, Webasto sunroof, cooling system, brakes, suspension and triple SU carburettors. Repainted and re-trimmed in Black, the Jaguar had much of its brightwork re-plated or renewed and was treated to a set of 'Lightweight' style alloy wheels shod with Bridgestone tyres. Submitted for MOT testing by Baz Cope on 21st May 2015 at an indicated 16,466 miles, that same year saw the E-Type benefit from a new starter motor, brake servo, replacement core plugs and electronic ignition courtesy of Newcastle-under-Lyme based marque specialist XJK (£2,458.44). XJK were also responsible for changing the fuel pump's points in August 2016 since when the two-seater has completed trouble free trips to Scotland and the Goodwood Revival. Having covered some 2,700 post refurbishment miles to date, the seller has concluded that stabling two Series I Fixed Head Coupes is an indulgence. Preferring the original interior of his other two-seater, he has thus decided to place 'GWA 505C' on the market. Pleasingly, the engine number listed on the car's original logbook and chassis plate (7E3374-9) matches the one stamped into its cylinder block and head. Starting readily upon inspection, this striking looking E-Type comes with several thousand pounds worth of SNG Barratt parts bills, numerous Baz Cope Engineering invoices (amounting to circa £36,000), assorted photos chronicling the bodyshell's rejuvenation and a 'no advisories' MOT certificate valid until May 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1967 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII- Original RHD UK supplied example with 62,500 recorded miles- Current ownership since 2007, MOT'd to July 2018 and ready to be enjoyed- Re-painted in 2013, over-drive equipped and known ownership from newDonald Healey's eponymous company built a prototype two-seater sports car for display at the 1952 London Motor Show that not only impressed the public, but also so excited Austin's Managing Director, Leonard Lord, that he struck a deal to build the car in volume at Longbridge. The newcomer was renamed the Austin-Healey 100 and the rest, as they say, is history. The 'Big' Healey enjoyed steady development with the four cylinder cars giving way to the 100-Six of 1956, which was replaced by the first of the 3000s in 1959. The final version was the 3000 MKIII which was launched in October 1963 and mildly upgraded (Phase 2) in May the following year. The most powerful and luxurious of all the models, it had a lively performance courtesy of its 150bhp straight-six engine and featured such niceties as wind-up windows and a walnut veneer facia. 3000 production closed at the end of 1967 after 42,926 had been made, 17,712 of which were MKIIIs.As one of the last of the line, the 3000 offered is a desirable home market MKIII Phase 2 model. Its supporting paperwork confirms it was built on January 15, 1967 and delivered new the following month to Martins Caravan Co. of Exeter. There have been eight other owners including the vendor who acquired the car in April 2007. Over the years the body which was originally finished in Beige was changed to Red and Black before receiving its current hue of British Racing Green in 2013 - it is matched to Black interior trim. The SU carburettors were overhauled last year and 'JTT 673E' is now being offered complete with new hood, tonneau cover, a spare set of five wire wheels, Heritage Certificate, original handbook and sales brochure, details of all past owners, tax discs and MOT certificates (including one valid to July 2018) and an assortment of spares.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.
