- Described by vendor to be in good overall condition, runs and drives very well- Previous keeper owned for seven years, acquired by current owner as part of the deceased estate- MoT'd until July 2017Always handsome, Jaguar's XJ-S seems to mature with age, like a fine wine. The Convertible version in particular oozes an understated elegance that was the hallmark of Jaguars for many years. This particular home market example is finished in the pleasing combination of Regency Red Metallic bodywork teamed with a Cream-coloured hide interior, and its odometer currently displays an unwarranted but perfectly feasible 71,646 miles. The vendor informs us that this colourful cat is 'in good overall condition and runs and drives very well'. He currently considers the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, 12-cylinder engine and automatic gearbox to all be in 'very good' order. 'G43 LHD' comes complete with an MOT valid to July 24 next year but without any past items of history, as they were mislaid in a previous sale by a deceased estate. An apparently tidy, unmolested car that is now being offered at No Reserve.

- Purchased new by the Baxter family in May 1960- Recent recommissioning by Classic Restorations (Scotland) to MOT standard- 88,000 recorded miles and MOT'd until May 2017Purchased by the Baxter family in May 1960, '579 UYS' is a righthand drive S2 that's remained within the family until the present day. Following a period of dry storage, the Bentley has been recommissioned to MOT standard by Classic Restorations of Alyth, Scotland. Tastefully finished in Green inside and out, it currently displays 88,607 miles and is being offered complete with MOT valid to May 8, 2017.The preceding S1 model was the last of the marque to employ Bentley's venerable 150bhp 4.9-litre straight-six engine. And, though being built along traditional lines with a separate chassis and body facilitated the manufacture of coachbuilt versions, the vast majority were delivered with the Standard Steel one. Greatly improved performance arrived with the S2 model of 1959, when the venerable six-cylinder unit was finally pensioned off in favour of an all-new 6.2-litre aluminium V8 one. This raised the top speed to some 114mph and considerably enhanced acceleration throughout the range.

As part of his publicity campaign to promote the Austin-Healey 100/4, Donald Healey entered a team of four pre-production cars for the 1953 Le Mans 24-hour race. Running with standard windscreens, interiors and even bumpers, two of this mildly tweaked quartet survived to finish 12th and 14th overall (an amazing result for such comparatively inexpensive cars in near showroom condition). Amongst numerous other racing and rallying victories, Austin-Healey enjoyed further success at the Sebring International Raceway in the USA. Offering classic 1960's looks but with the confidence and reliability that current technology brings, the Sebring TMX offers performance and excitement aplenty at a fraction of the cost of an original Big Healey. This example is fitted with a 4.4-litre V8 engine matched to manual transmission. 'MXI 439' is offered with V5C, history file and build manual and comes with a current MOT certificate into August 2017.

- Believed to have been rejuvenated between 2000 and 2005 with photographs on file showing the work- An intriguing and rare vintage English vehicle with front wheel drive- Old buff log book on file and described by the vendor as being in good to excellent conditionPurchased by our vendor on a bit of a whim last May, he wasn't really looking for another vehicle but being called Bob he felt it was meant to be his car! An original buff registration book on file shows that this charming front-wheel-drive BSA Scout was first registered on June 28th 1935. Purchased in June 2000 by a Glynn Edwards as a project, it appears from a letter in the history file from a former owner to the BSA FWD Club that the car was undergoing rejuvenation as long ago as 1989. Mr Edwards carried out a very thorough rejuvenation which was finished in June 2005, and photographs are on file showing some of the work in progress. In the file are a set of wood frame plans and it is believed that much of the Ash frame was replaced during the rejuvenation. Mr Edwards was apparently 92 years old when he sold the car to our vendor, and it is only being sold now due to moving home to somewhere with less garaging. The BSA is described by the vendor as having a "good" paintwork, and "very good" bodywork, engine, gearbox, and interior trim.

- A rare model that was originally sold new in England and believed to have always been finished in Alfa Red- Thorough body and engine rejuvenation in 1990/1991 with a photographic record and many invoices, and repainted again in 2008- Alfaholics suspension and 15" wheels fitted but original wheels and bumpers supplied, plus cylinder head overhauled in 2010This Bertone designed Alfa Romeo coupe was first registered on July 1st 1973. Painted in Alfa Red with a black vinyl interior, the car was the recipient of much body and mechanical work during 1990 and 1991, including a repaint of the body, a retrim of the interior, and new pistons and liners and engine bearings. The car was repainted again in 2008, and in April 2010 it was purchased by the father of the current owner, with it being registered in his name the following year. The GT Junior has been much enjoyed by our vendor, and in 2010 he had the cylinder head overhauled and in 2013 he had an Alfaholics Fast-Road Suspension Kit B fitted, along with their 7x15 GTA style alloy wheels. With the history file containing invoices and photographs for much of the work mentioned above, there are also many previous MOT certificates, one dating from 1991. Described by the vendor as being in "good" condition with regards to the body, paint, and interior, with the engine described as "very good", it is believed to be supplied with its original wheels and bumpers.

To many, the TR6's sharp styling - Karmann's reinterpretation of the Michelotti-penned TR4/TR5 - looks ever better with age, and this notably smart red example certainly strikes the right pose. Trimmed in Black and riding on Minilite-style wheels, it benefits from a restoration in 2012 and a range of mechanical upgrades. These include: competition clutch; oil cooler; EBC Green Stuff brake pads operating on drilled/grooved discs; and a roll cage. Further additions to the specification include a factory hardtop, superior four-speaker stereo and USB connectivity. The vendor informs us that the Triumph 'drives and handles beautifully' and regards the bodywork, paintwork, original Black vinyl interior, straight-six engine and manual gearbox as all being in 'excellent' order. He says the car has travelled just 5,000 miles in the last 11 years and believes the indicated total of 79,396 to be genuine. He is now offering 'SVR 43H' complete with an MOT valid until July 20 next year.

PLEASE NOTE: The vendor has informed us that a new Holley carburettor has just been fitted to the car at a cost of 750GBP. Please check with our documents office for details of any other spares which may be included with this lot. - Benefits from spending most of its life in the dry climates of California and Spain - Much money spent on parts including chrome wheels, brakes and suspension work - Serviced less than 20 miles ago, 5.7-litre V8 engine, external spare wheel with bumper and clam shell case Conceived to challenge Chevrolet's Corvette sports car launched in 1953, the iconic Thunderbird, Ford's first 'personal car', made its debut in October 1954 and was one of the first models fitted with the blue oval's new overhead valve V8 engine. The T-bird remained fundamentally unchanged during the first two years before a restyle for 1957 introduced fins on a longer tail section, increased boot space, and more aggressive frontal styling. The following year, the T-bird grew larger in its second generation, the '58 'Square-bird' being the first of the line to adopt unitary construction and offer four seats. Imported into the UK in 2014, this smart example is finished in white with red / white vinyl interior and benefits from the fitment of a new steering wheel and chrome wheels at a cost of over £3,500. New shock absorbers and brakes have also been fitted along with a number of other miscellaneous parts for which we are advised the invoices total thousands of pounds. Described as having "good" bodywork, engine and gearbox with "very good" interior, this classic piece of Americana, complete with rare external spare wheel with bumper and clam shell case, is offered with a Swansea V5 document and the non-transferable registration 326 UYG.

This exceedingly smart pick-up truck is powered by a 350ci V8 engine topped by a Rochester 4-barrel carburettor and drives through a three-speed automatic transmission. Finished in the striking combination of White over Blue and trimmed in a complementary-coloured mix of cloth and leatherette it was restored in the US in circa 2008 by its previous keeper, a retired panel beater. The comprehensive programme of improvement included a complete repaint, re-trim and new oak panelling for the load deck - it was also equipped with fresh wheels and tyres. It is now offered complete with: US title, NOVA reference for UK registration and new MOT; a collection of invoices including a $1,050 one for an overhaul of the gearbox; and modern CD stereo unit. The vendor currently classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission as all being in 'very good' order and the odometer currently stands at an unwarranted 58,497 miles.

Now here's the perfect project with which to while away the long winter evenings - a 'one owner from new' Series 3 Lotus Seven that's running and complete but, by its owner's admission, could do with some modest recommissioning and cosmetic improvement. It's no ordinary Series 3 either, but one of the rare Holbay-engined ones (less than 350 S3s were made, very few of which were Holbay-powered). The other extras specified when the car was ordered new from Lotus agent Caterham Cars in Autumn 1969, were a set of Lotus Dunlop alloy wheels and pair of seat belts. Its specification also included the later, stronger Ford gearbox and Ford rear axle which, together with the hand-built engine, made for a tough reliable version of this iconic breed of Lotus. In 1989, the powerplant was returned to Holbay and overhauled as a precautionary measure. During the refurbishment it was fitted with a later stronger cylinder block, however, the original unit was retained and is available if required. When new, the alloy body featured a Yellow nosecone and wings but was painted Silver all over around the same time as the engine work was carried out - the colour contrasts well with the car's Black vinyl trim. All parts that have removed, such as the front wings, hood, side screens, rare rear lights, tonneau etc, are being automatically included in the sale. The car also comes complete with its original V5, Lotus Letter of Provenance, letter between Holbay and the owner regarding the overhaul carried out, and a copy of Lotus's hand-written build sheet. The Seven currently indicates a total unwarranted mileage of 40,039 and is considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' engine, 'good' bodywork, paintwork and four-speed manual transmission, and 'average' interior trim. A rare opportunity for the many lovers of Chapman's rightly revered Lotus Seven.

- Reportedly acquired by the Jaguar collector vendor in 1994 as a recently imported LHD restoration project from the USA- Rejuvenated and converted to RHD by the vendor and specialists with a photographic record between about 2012 and 2016- UK registered but illness dictates a new owner will have a few jobs to finish such as tuning the carburettors and fitting sun visors'785 UYR' was manufactured on September 24th 1962 and despatched a couple of weeks later to Jaguar's New York agent to deliver to its first owner, a Mr E. White. At the time it featured left-hand drive and was finished in Black with contrasting Red interior trim. The vendor is a Jaguar collector, who acquired the car in 1994 following its repatriation as a restoration project straight from the USA. Working hand in glove with appropriate specialists between 2012 and 2016, he converted the E-type to right-hand drive and largely completed the intended rejuvenation of the vehicle before ill health sadly forced him to cease work on the project. To date the restoration has included the replacement of sills on both sides of the car, the installation of new floor sections, and the purchase of lots of new parts that were employed in the refurbishment of the engine, clutch, gearbox, differential, electrical system, hood / frame and interior trim etc. The tyres are also new all-round. Among the remaining tasks are tuning the engine, fitting the sun visors and boot carpet, and general road testing, so it should be possible for the next keeper to complete the work in pretty short shrift. The odometer presently displays an unwarranted 73,987 miles and the Jaguar now features Red bodywork teamed with Black interior trim - ie the reverse of how it started life. The vendor currently classes the interior trim, 3.8-litre engine and four-speed manual transmission as 'very good', and the bodywork and paintwork as 'good'. He is now offering the E-Type complete with: Jaguar Heritage certificate, an MOT valid until March 16th next year, a large collection of invoices from the likes of Martin Robey, Hutson Motor Company and the David Manners Group etc, plus a photographic record of all the work carried out to date.

- Believed to have been sold new in Germany as a RHD car and recently imported from Japan- Fitted with automatic transmission, a hard top, and a third rear seat- An appealing colour combination and a very useable modelThe rarest W113 variant, the 250SL, was officially introduced at the March 1967 Geneva Salon. Blessed with the same effortlessly elegant Paul Bracq styling as its earlier sibling, it was powered by a new seven-bearing crankshaft 2496cc SOHC straight-six engine that developed some 150bhp and 159lbft of torque - sufficient outputs to endow the Mercedes with a 0-60mph time of a whisker under 11 seconds and a top speed just north of 120mph. Braking was by power-assisted discs on all four corners, and steering by power-assisted recirculating ball.Able to blur the divide between city streets and open roads with ease, the majority of 250SLs were specified with four-speed automatic gearboxes. Faster than the 230SL which preceded it yet more stiffly-sprung and agile than its 280SL successor, the 250SL remained in production for just a single year, accounting for a mere 5,196 sales worldwide, more than a third of which were exported to America. A cult car by any standards, SLs have had countless celebrity owners from Charlton Heston to Kate Moss, John Lennon to Sophia Loren and Peter Ustinov to Stirling Moss. They have also starred in myriad films, including: 'Tinker Tailor, Soldier, Spy'; 'The Baader Meinhof Complex' and 'Frost/Nixon'.This white automatic example was reportedly sold new in Germany in right hand drive configuration. The vendor has no proof of this but perhaps it was supplied to someone in the Forces stationed in Germany. The car seems to be well travelled as it was imported from Japan a few years ago and has been enjoyed by the vendor for the last couple of years. Accompanied by a hard top and third sideways rear seat, the vendor describes the car as having "good bodywork and interior trim" and an "excellent engine".

Finished in the subtle combination of Baltic Blue bodywork and Black leather interior trim, this left-hand drive 930 Series Turbo initially dwelt in the relatively rust-free state of California, where it is understood to have remained in the same ownership from 1987 until recently imported to the UK. The vendor informs us that the Porsche sustained some mild damage to the bonnet and rear quarter panels during shipping but, as the car was otherwise in such first-class condition, it was decided to invest in a full respray rather than just local repairs. This work was carried out by Norfolk Premier Coachworks of Norwich who also carried out a degree of re-upholstery. Finally, an engine leak down test was successfully performed and new oil lines installed 'to bring the car up to A1 condition'. The Porsche was MOT'd in September of this year, having travelled zero miles since the previous test - the total mileage now stands at just 42,104. With all the above in mind the vendor has no hesitation in declaring the car's bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, 3.3-litre flat-six engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'excellent' order. With the values of all generations of 911 continuing to rise, such quality examples are inevitably increasingly keenly sought after.The 930 was introduced at the 1974 Paris Motorshow and produced from 1975 to 1989, during which time it topped Porsche's model range. It was based around the Carrera 3.0 RS, the engine from which was modified courtesy of turbo technology originally developed for the 917/30 CAN-AM cars. Power output of the 3.3-litre versions was 300bhp - enough to accelerate the car to 60mph in 4.9 seconds and on to 156mph. A 'whale tail' rear spoiler and wider rear wheel/tyre package were fitted to help deliver the power to the road.

- Inspected by the Military Vehicle Trust who confirmed that its chassis was made by Ford in June 1943- A UK 'barn find' that was subjected to a major restoration in 2013-2014- Original WW2 body tub, wings, grille, bonnet and screen sympathetically restoredArguably the most iconic and influential military vehicle of World War Two, the Jeep's legacy is still being felt today. A former UK `barn find', this particular example was extensively restored by its previous keeper during 2013-2014. A ? Ton 4x4 collector, he carried out the following work: Engine rebored, crankshaft reground, new bearings, oil seals, water pump etc; Gearbox overhauled with appropriate parts, bearings, oil seals etc; Transfer Box reconditioned; Propshafts rejuvenated with new universal joints; Front Axle refurbished with new differential bearings and overhauled constant velocity drive shafts, new oil seals etc and Rear Axle reconditioned with new bearings, oil seals etc. The brake system received new pipes, new master cylinder and wheel cylinders, new shoes and new wheel bearings and oil seals etc, while the exhaust system was replaced too. The original WW2 body tub, grille, bonnet, screen and wings were sympathetically repaired and the Jeep rewired incorporating many original items but with the benefit of an upgrade to 12-volts, the lights modified to take modern bulbs, indicators fitted and a conventional towing socket added. The steering box was rejuvenated and new track rod ends installed. The road springs, shock absorbers and spring shackles were reconditioned as necessary. The radiator core was renewed too. An inspection carried out by The Military Vehicle Trust last year confirmed the chassis is an original Ford item that was built in June 1943 and that `the vehicle was substantially complete and genuine'. Subsequently road registered by the DVLA as `YXG 313' and fitted with a correct-type 2.2 litre four-cylinder engine, the Jeep comes complete with a rear mounted Jerry Can and spare wheel, canvas tilt, shovel and axe and US Military bonnet markings. Starting readily upon inspection, this authentically detailed Ford GPW ? Ton 4x4 is ideal for the Goodwood Revival or other period re-enactments.

This lovely matching numbers TA was built in the Spring of 1939; ie close to the end of the model's run. It is very smartly-presented in Red inside and out and benefits from a relatively recent nut and bolt restoration, during which every item is understood to have been refurbished or replaced - including the original body which was supplanted by a new Naylor's ash example. Owned by the same enthusiast for 24 years, it was then purchased from our Duxford auction in September 2011. Since then it has been largely garaged, but nevertheless treated to: a top end engine overhaul; gearbox, brake and cooling system service; and radiator recore. The vendor currently has no hesitation in classing the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission as all being in 'excellent' condition. Riding on smart chrome wire wheels, this former concours award-winning two-seater also sports: a rare original Midget mascot; replacement Bloomberg steering wheel; tonneau cover; aero screens; side wind deflectors; and original Shelley tools (housed in two trays). Among its claims to fame are featuring in the BBC's 'Strathblair' TV Series (original tape included) and being used to help launch the new MGF at the RAF Leuchars air base in Fife (photographs included). A fine example of the first, and arguably purist, member of MG's much-loved T Series lineage. Announced 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 front and rear, it employed a modified Morris powertrain, including an overhead-valve 52bhp/1292cc engine and part-synchromesh four-speed gearbox. Visually and structurally, the bodystyle was an evolution of earlier MG Midgets. 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.

Jensen's striking replacement for the slant-eyed C-V8 first saw the light of day in 1966. It broke some of the firm's established traditions in that the design was outsourced - to Carrozzeria Touring - and the bodies were made of steel rather than glass reinforced plastic. Power was initially supplied by a 6276cc Chrysler V8, driving through either a four-speed manual or three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission to an LSD-equipped Salisbury rear axle. The MKII model of 1969 brought revised frontal styling and ventilated disc brakes. Introduced at the October 1971 Earl's Court Motor Show, the Interceptor III was visually distinguished by cast headlight surrounds, GKN cast alloy wheels and a comprehensively revamped interior and was produced in four Series - G, H, J and S4. By May 1972 the engines on RHD cars had been increased in capacity to a whopping 7212cc. A total of some 6,408 Interceptors were produced between 1966 and 1976. However, just 509 of those were Convertibles.The indicated mileage of this gorgeous-looking Interceptor is just 25,000 - a plausible though unwarranted figure the vendor feels is supported by the sheer quality of the interior, engine bay and underside of the car. He informs us that the automatic gearbox and torque converter have been replaced in recent times and that he presently grades the Jensen as 'almost concours', with 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, and transmission, and adds that 'the V8 is the sweetest you will hear and the car is simply a pleasure to drive'. Though just 4,000 miles have been covered in the last 16 years, the Interceptor was apparently extensively used and enjoyed this summer, but must now make way for the impending arrival of an Aston Martin. Finished in lustrous Metallic Blue, and trimmed in Black leather contrasted by sheepskin inserts, this lovely combination of British engineering and American muscle would surely grace any classic car collection.

- Extensively restored at a cost of c. £60,000- Full engine overhaul by Russ Carpenter (V8 250 expert)- Comprehensive history file including photographs of the restoration Among the smarter Daimler V8-250s that we have encountered, 'JPR 806F' was treated to an extensive mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment during the late 1990s / early 2000s. The saloon's automatic gearbox and V8 engine were professionally overhauled (the latter by model expert Russ Carpenter), while the highly regarded Jaguar restorers CMC of Bridgnorth undertook a bare metal repaint in its original hue of Willow Green. The interior received a new headlining, door panels, furflex, carpets, sill plates and Kenwood stereo with CD autochanger. Upgraded to electronic ignition, the Daimler also gained a new wind tone horn, uprated wiper washers, halogen headlights and hazard warning lights. The suspension was improved via new rear springs, shock absorbers and various bushes, while the brakes were fitted with uprated Coopercraft 4-pot front callipers and stainless steel hoses etc. Since 2010, the V8-250 has further benefited from attention to its power steering, engine mounts, heater, spark plugs / ignition leads. Deemed by the vendor to be in 'very good' condition with regard to its engine, automatic transmission, bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment and interior trim, the Daimler is offered for sale with previous owners' details, restoration photos, original handbook, service book, workshop manual, parts book and assorted receipts / invoices.BodyworkMajor bodywork restoration by the highly regarded Jaguar restorer CMC Bridgnorth during the late 1990s and early 2000s including a bare metal re-spray in its original Willow Green, extensive re chroming including the bumpers and grille and a new windscreen.

This extremely attractive righthand drive Mondial is resplendent in Silver complemented by a luscious Red leather interior. It has been the subject of a great deal of attention in the last two to three years, as supported by the £23,000 worth of bills for the restoration of the body and a further £7,000 worth for mechanical refurbishment. A service was carried out as recently as February this year and the odometer currently stands at just 55,200 miles. Unsurprisingly, the vendor currently views the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as 'excellent' and the V8 engine and five-speed manual transmission as 'very good'. A clearly extremely well maintained example, 'VPD 995X' comes complete with a massive history file that includes the original handbooks and service record, invoices dating back to the 1980s, and MOTs from 1986 onwards plus a fresh MOT into September 2017 with no advisory's. Production ran for just 2 years, during which 703 Coupe were created, just 152 of which featured right-hand drive.

Question - when is an ambulance not an ambulance? Answer, when its exterior has been painstakingly restored as per its service at the Muroc Army Air Force base (from where Yeager broke the sound barrier - now known as Edwards from where the shuttle was supported) in the Mojave desert, but the major mechanicals have been replaced by modern alternatives and the stretcher bay trimmed throughout in Red pile carpet! In the vendor's words, ''YWG 722' has the patina of a 75 year old classic military vehicle but the reliability of a modern car'. The Packard is nowadays powered by a contemporary 350ci Chevy V8 engine driving through a 700 R4 automatic gearbox to a Ford 9 inch final drive. The vendor informs us that this unique 21ft Packard 'drives, stops and handles brilliantly, will comfortably cruise at 70mph and is immensely practical; especially if you have lots of friends'!

This stunning righthand drive example of Honda's famous 'rev-for-ever' little sports car was treated to a full body-off restoration between 2014 and this year, during which the powerplant was fully overhauled by the S800 Owners' Club Chairman - a former Rolls-Royce engineer. The pocket rocket is finished in Red and trimmed in Black and the vendor believes it to be the best of the breed in this country, with 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and gearbox. What's not to like? By the time of Honda's first car, the S600 Roadster launched in 1964, the company was already the world's largest producer of motorcycles and renowned for its race-winning engines. Within a year the range was swelled by a Fastback Coupe, and by the 1965 Tokyo Motorshow the S600 models had been supplanted by the more powerful 791 cc S800s, some 1,548 of which were ultimately imported to the UK between 1967 and 1970.

Jaguar's fabled E-Type has always been among the most desirable of British classics, and their values have risen commensurately. According to its Heritage Certificate, this matching numbers left-hand drive example - chassis 878457 - was despatched new from the factory on November 16th 1962, bound for the company's New York agency in Carmen Red and trimmed in Black. The Roadster is believed to have remained within the same ownership from 1989 and to have been treated to a part restoration prior to its recent arrival back on these shores. The rejuvenation task has subsequently been completed to a high standard. The body was repainted, the interior re-trimmed and the Jaguar treated to new carpets, hood and hood bag. The electrics were converted to negative earth and the original wiring replaced, while the front suspension was fully overhauled and powder-coated (that on the rear had already been attended to), and new dampers installed all-round. Other replacement items included: chrome wire wheels, knock-off spinners, set of tyres, and handbrake cable. A period-looking radio was also installed complete with Bluetooth connectivity. A successful leak-down test was carried out on the engine and a complete respray undertaken by Specialist Cars of Moulton, Yorkshire. This charismatic cat is now being offered complete with: US title and HMRC documents confirming that the full duty has been paid and UK registration can now be sought; the aforementioned Jaguar Heritage Certificate; and an MOT valid into September 2017. An apparently exceedingly smart Series 1 Roadster that merely needs the right weather to provide its next keeper with years of hood-down enjoyment.The Malcolm Sayer-penned E-type was launched to massive acclaim at the 1961 Geneva Salon. The first major update was the increase in engine capacity from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964.

- c.10,000 miles covered since full body off restoration by Healey specialists Orchard Restorations including an engine upgrade- Featured in a full page advertisement in 'The Motor' magazine in October 1963- Heritage Cerificate, original RHD UK car, detailed history fileThe prototype 'Big' Healey was the sensation of the 1952 London Motorshow. Once in production it enjoyed steady development, with the original four-cylinder cars giving way to the 100-Six of 1956, which was followed by the first of the 3000s in 1959 and the MKII 3000 in 1961. Introduced in February 1962, the 3000 MKII 2+2 'BJ7' model (nicknamed the MKIIA) pioneered such 'luxuries' as wind-up windows, swivelling quarter-lights and a fixed convertible hood. Its independent wishbone front suspension gained stiffer coil springs and it benefited from a more direct steering box. The manual / overdrive transmission gained a new case, and the 2912cc straight-six engine switched to twin carburettors. With a reputed 132bhp and 170lbft of torque on tap, Girling front discs became standard equipment.Despatched on 2 May 1963 to London dealer Car Mart Ltd and registered BHX 966A, this original RHD home market car has been in the current ownership since 1998. The subject of a comprehensive restoration by Orchard Restorations immediately following its purchase by the vendor, it has covered just c.7,000 miles since completion in 2001. Invoices for the work are detailed in the nicely presented history file. Correspondence accompanying the car records a replacement block being fitted at some point prior to 1986 whilst a detailed list of works carried out between 1991 and 2008 shows expenditure in excess of £37,000. BHX 966A featured in period advertising and a copy advert from Autocar is included together with a Heritage Certificate, Swansea V5C, MoT to June 2017, green logbook, list of owners back to 1972, restoration invoices and photographs, expired MoT certificates & tax discs together with correspondence and other sundry invoices. Finished in arguably the best colour combination of Ice blue / white with blue interior, this fine example is worthy of close inspection.

- 1 of just 12 RHD Lele Sports built according to the Iso and Bizzarini Owners' Club - Ford 5.7 litre V8 engine overhauled three years ago and uprated with Holley carburettor, Weiand alloy intake manifold and electronic ignition- The Sport model boasted a different interior, revised bumpers, various body modifications and most notably a 5-speed ZF manual gearboxAccording to the Iso and Bizzarini Owners' Club, this eye-catching example of '70s Italian exotica is one of only 12 right-hand drive Lele Sports made and therefore exceedingly rare. The Sport version most notably boasted a ZF five-speed manual gearbox, plus a model-specific interior and range of identifying body details. This car's 5.7-litre Ford engine was apparently overhauled three years ago, at which time it was uprated with Holley carburettor, Weland alloy intake manifold and electronic ignition. The vendor acquired the Lele in October 2009, since when he has continued to compile an astonishingly detailed diary of the servicing and general maintenance it has enjoyed - the document runs to eight A4 pages and would appear to leave nothing to doubt. 'JOJ 992N' is now being offered complete with a copy of that diary, V5C, and an MOT valid to April 18 next year. There is also a fascinating letter of May 2013 from the Secretary of the Iso and Bizzarini Club, explaining that the fact this particular car was manufactured in December 1973 but remained unsold until 1975 could well be because the company entered liquidation early in 1974. It also points out that the sales records of the last UK concessionaires, Nicholas van der Steen Ltd, are presumed to have been lost. However, the Secretary did enclose the relevant page from the factory build sheets, which forms part of the accompanying history file. A rare and exciting motorcar that is extremely well presented throughout.The striking Lele was penned by Marcello Gandini on behalf of Bertone and produced from 1969 to the closure of the company in 1974. Of 2+2 configuration it sat between the Grifo and Fidia in the maker's model range, all of which were powered by either Ford or Chevrolet V8 engines - the Ford ones with manual transmission produced 360bhp.

- 'Garden Find' liberated via the felling of a holly bush and temporary ramp!- 1 of 863 RHD 4.2 Roadsters made prior to the introduction of the Series 1.5- Factory hardtop, original cylinder head, engine free, surprisingly soundFamously launched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore. Nothing else on the market could rival its combination of supercar performance, breathtaking styling and relative affordability. Whilst early racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others only added to the model's allure. Built as a monocoque with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine, the newcomer boasted excellent roadholding and handling capabilities due to its all-round independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and rack and pinion steering. The indomitable XK 3.8 litre twin-cam supplied abundant power. If the design had an Achilles' heel then it was the recalcitrant Moss gearbox. However, this shortcoming was addressed in autumn 1964 when Jaguar introduced an all-synchromesh four-speeder of its own design together with an enlarged 4235cc straight-six and revised dashboard layout. With a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque on tap, these updated E-types were reputedly capable of nigh on 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. For many the ultimate E-Type derivative, just 863 RHD 4.2 Roadsters were produced before the introduction of the so-called Series 1.5 cars.According to its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, this particular example - chassis 1E1468 - was built on 4th February 1966 and despatched some twelve days later to Henlys of London. Initially road registered as 'KGU 782D' (the same number plate it pleasingly wears today), the two-seater is understood to have been repainted and re-trimmed from Primrose Yellow with Black to Red with Beige as part of an extensive restoration that was completed in 1980. Owned for the best part of four decades by the Shreeves family of Flitwick, Bedfordshire, the Jaguar was last on the road in the early 2000s. Parked up in a garden and obscured by a hollybush that also hemmed it into place, the E-Type was protected from the worst of the elements via a voluminous tarpaulin. Despite these less than ideal storage conditions, the Roadster seems to be remarkably sound. A testament no doubt to the quality of the work that it underwent c.1980. The Jaguar's odometer currently shows some 27,992 miles which is believed but not warranted to represent the total covered since its refurbishment was completed. Deemed 'one restoration project too many' by the vendor's family, 'KGU 782D' appears to retain its original cylinder head (the number stamped into the inner 'vee' matching the one quoted on the JDHT Certificate) but has been fitted with a replacement cylinder block most likely due to frost damage. The aged Michelin tyres hold air and the engine can be turned over by hand (though, no attempt has been made to start it). The clutch and brakes are also free. The carpets are missing from the front footwells but otherwise the car looks to be substantially complete. The paintwork has lost its shine and the chromework has corroded in places. To the interior the leather seems to be in good (if slightly grubby) condition and the Roadster boasts both a factory hardtop and soft-top. In our opinion, chassis 1E1468 remains in far better order than one could reasonably expect of a 'garden find'. However, potential purchasers are very much encouraged to make their own inspections and draw their own conclusions as to the amount of work necessary to make this slumbering E-Type roadworthy again. Offered for sale with V5C registration document, JDHT Certificate, various 1980s photos and old tax discs etc

Introduced in Autumn 1962, the S3 Continental was notable as the last Bentley to utilise a separate chassis. The substantial box-section structure in question was powered by a 6230cc OHV V8 engine allied to four-speed automatic transmission. Reputedly capable of nigh-on 120mph, the S3 Continental was sold to coachbuilt special order only. One of the more striking designs available, the H.J. Mulliner Park Ward Fixed Head Coupe owed its beautifully sleek profile to Vilhelm Koren. A freelance stylist from Sweden, the 'straight-through' wing line and 'cut-back' wheelarches that he pioneered on the Bentley S2 Continental chassis were successfully carried over to its successor. Visually updated by the diagonal placement of their quad headlights, the Koren-inspired S3 Continentals (in either open or closed guises) thus boasted a decidedly modern yet majestic look. Of the 312 S3 Continentals made between 1962 and 1966, a good number were supplied to such contemporary celebrities as Jayne Mansfield, Fanny Craddock, Sir John Mills and Harry Belafonte.Finished in Light Metallic Blue with original St. James Red leather upholstery and Burr Walnut fascia and cappings, this particular example was originally registered as 'CPL 600B' and delivered new in June 1964 to an F. Gree Esq. Having spent most of its life in Australia, the 'beautifully preserved' Continental was repatriated in 2015. The vendor, who enjoyed the Le Mans Classic weekend behind the wheel in July, is now offering this lovely Bentley complete with air-conditioning and rare full-length Webasto sunroof. Recently treated to a Bentley specialist service, he also plans to have a fresh MOT in time for the sale.

- Supplied new by Lancaster Porsche in Colchester, Essex, in April 1988- Presented with its original service book and a good quantity of maintenance invoices and 18 previous MOT certificates- Approximately 101,000 miles recorded and entered by its current local lady ownerThe resplendent White bodywork and White-centred Fuchs alloy wheels of 'E481 MDX' contrast most effectively with its White-piped Black leather interior trim and Black hood. It was supplied new by Lancaster Porsche of Colchester, Essex in April 1988 to a J. Knight of Southminster in the same county. The accompanying history file contains the original service book which, together with a forest of related invoices, confirms a high degree of maintenance over the years. Recent attention includes a gearbox renovation in February 2007, the replacement of the clutch in 2013 and the fitment of new tyres all round within the last 1,000 miles. The records also confirm a speedometer change by Chapelgate Porsche (an authorised Porsche dealership) in March 1997, when the mileage stood at 57,674 - it currently totals c.101,000 from new.This tidy and apparently very original example of a much admired breed is now being offered by a local lady owner, who currently classes the bodywork, paintwork and turbocharged flat-six engine as 'very good' and the four-speed manual transmission and interior trim as 'good'. She is selling the car complete with the aforementioned comprehensive history file, that includes the original owners' wallet and manuals, no less than 18 old MOT certificates, plus one valid to April 12 next year. A rapidly appreciating asset capable of offering years of fast wind-in-the hair motoring.When introduced in 1974 Porsche's 3.0-litre 930 Turbo was the fastest production car available on its native German market. However, the later 3.3-litre version, such as the Cabriolet on offer, was considerably quicker again, and capable of sprinting from zero to 60mph in 4.9 seconds and on to a top speed of c.160mph. The later car also featured much improved braking. A total of 16,535 3.3-litre turbos were manufactured, only 918 of which were Cabriolets.

- Extensively re-engineered with many sympathetic modern conveniences- Overdrive all-synchro gearbox, PAS, 4.2 injection head, electric windows- Heated front and rear screens, cruise control etc.The immortal Jaguar MKII was as airy on the inside as it was elegant on the outside. Its monocoque bodyshell was equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension and a well located live rear axle, 12-inch disc brakes all round and recirculating ball steering. The model could be specified with a 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8-litre version of Jaguar's race-proved, DOHC in-line, six-cylinder XK engine. When equipped with the latter, the MKII was capable of sprinting to 60mph in 8.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 125mph.For some however, there is a desire to improve and develop a classic design to bring it into the modern age, and in so doing, provide levels of performance and luxury the original designers could only dream about. This amazing Mk2 is just such an example, having been restored by a previous owner who specified numerous additions and improvements to turn the car into a highly useable luxurious every day mode of transport whilst retaining the timeless looks and appeal of the original. Powered by a 3.8 litre engine with 4.2 injection head, 8:1 pistons and 4.2 overdrive all-synchromesh gearbox, the car is said to cruise effortlessly, whilst the modified suspension set up provides handling to match. Power steering, cruise control, electric windows, electric cooling fan, variable speed wipers, central locking, XJ40 electric front seats and air-conditioning etc. add to the cosseting driving experience.A true gentleman's express, this Mk2 would cost a fortune to replicate and is worthy of the closest inspection.

- Reportedly sold new by Cornes Ferrari in Japan- Registered in the UK in April 2015 and described by the vendor as being in good to very good condition- Finished in the classic and desirable Ferrari colour combination and sporting the F1 transmissionIntroduced at the May 1994 Geneva Salon, the F355 was the standard bearer for a new generation of more technologically advanced 'small' Ferraris. Based around a robot-welded sheet steel monocoque equipped with all-round independent double-wishbone suspension, ventilated ABS disc brakes, and power assisted rack and pinion steering, it utilised a new computer-controlled electronic damper system that self-adjusted depending upon the feedback gleaned from various road speed, brake pressure, suspension loading, and steering sensors. Further enhanced by a 'ground effects' under-tray which created a welcome pressure differential at high speeds, the F355 was revealed to be seven seconds and four seconds a lap faster round Ferrari's Fiorano test track than the 348 and 512TR respectively. Cradled by a separate subframe, its longitudinally mid-mounted 'quad-cam' 3496cc V8 boasted an 11.1:1 compression ratio, F1-style titanium con-rods, forged alloy pistons, three-inlet and two-exhaust valves per cylinder (40 in total) and the latest Bosch M 2.7 engine management system. Developing an incredible 380bhp and 268lbft of torque, it drove the rear wheels via a neatly integrated transverse six-speed manual gearbox. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds, 0-100mph in 10.6 seconds and 185mph, the F355 was an undoubted supercar. Styled by Pininfarina, its retractable headlights, reversed elliptical grille, 'bullet hole' driving lights, uncluttered side air intakes, subtle engine lid spoiler and quad circular rear lights met with widespread approval. Beautifully trimmed, the model's cosseting interior came with leather upholstery, electric windows and air-conditioning as standard. Unveiled at the May 1995 Monaco Grand Prix meeting, the F355 Spider benefited from a strengthened body-shell and specially reinforced windscreen, it permitted 'wind in the hair' 180mph motoring!The classically coloured F355 Spider offered here is fitted with the popular F1 transmission and is believed to have been sold new in Japan by the well-known authorised dealership Cornes. Leaving Japan's car friendly climate, it was registered in the UK in September 2014 and has been enjoyed by just one owner in England. This beautiful and iconic Ferrari is described by the vendor as having "very good bodywork, paintwork, interior trim and engine".

PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle has failed its MOT test on emissions and the nearside rear shock absorber. The estimate is now £24,000 - 26,000. The Graham Hull-penned Silver Seraph marked Rolls-Royce's intention to reclaim its reputation as producer of 'the best car in the world'. Following a long gestation period it was eventually only made for four years - 1998 to 2002 - as a result of which just 1,570 Seraphs vacated the Crewe factory. Its monocoque chassis was 65 percent stiffer than that of the Silver Spirit it replaced, while power came from a BMW-derived all-alloy V12 engine of 5.4-litres. This Silver example with Cream-coloured hide interior hails from March 2000, has had four keepers to date and is now offered from a deceased estate. It was last attended to in May of this year by Alastair Scott Services of Perth, for which there is a bill on file for £505.39. It comes complete with the original book pack, including the service record of 11 entries, collection of old invoice's and MOT certificates plus spare key and is believed to possess a fresh MOT by the time of sale. A desirable Rolls-Royce that has covered an average of less than 6,100 miles a year from new.

This stunningly-presented lefthand drive Multipla has had just two owners from new and resided in a Bologna Fiat garage from 1961 until now. The bodywork has recently been 'impeccably' restored by Fiat professionals, during which any corrosion was removed and a bare metal respray undertaken in its original livery of White over Blue. The colourful White and Red interior was in good condition and merely required a general refresh. The doughty 600cc engine was uprated with modified carburettor, sports camshaft and Abarth exhaust to make the vehicle more in tune with modern traffic - the output is now c.57bhp. A rev-counter, uprated cooling system and electric engine fan were added for the unit's ongoing protection. The vehicle's remaining mechanicals have all been renewed or refurbished as required, and this remarkably versatile six-seater is now regarded by the vendor as having 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission, and comes complete with its original radio.

According to the MG Car Club's online search facility (www.tregister.org), chassis TC1370 was built on 11th September 1946. Reputedly first road registered by Lancashire County Council, the two-seater was later exported to the USA. Owned by Fred Robert Wilkin Jr of Cook County Illinois from June 1969 to October 2007, the MG is understood to have been his mount for numerous competition events. Entering the previous German ownership in 2008 before returning to the UK in 2015, TC1370 was UK registered on 1st January 2016 and is offered with various invoices for repairs since returning to Europe. Finished in Dark Green with matching green period wire wheels and double mounted spares, the MG is described by the vendor as being in 'good / very good' with regard to is bodywork and paintwork, while he rates the engine, electrical equipment, four-speed manual gearbox and 'original specification' interior as 'good'.

Pagoda' models of Mercedes-Benz's long-standing SL Series have long since been a favourite of collectors the world over, especially in its final iteration - the 280, as offered here. And what a fine-looking, 'matching numbers' specimen this example is. It benefits from having lived most of its life in the relatively rust-free environment of California before being imported to the UK in 2015. It was subsequently placed in the hands of Norfolk Premier Coachworks of Norwich who brought the lighting in line with European specifications, overhauled both the steering and gearbox linkage, installed new suspension bushes, carried out a successful leak down test on the engine, undertook a full service, and also a full body respray. Some £13,000 has evidently been invested in the Benz in the last 12 months, and the bodywork and underside are understood to have been in 'excellent' condition already. The vendor perhaps unsurprisingly now grades the car's bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, straight-six engine and four-speed automatic transmission as all being in 'excellent' order. He is now offering this lovely left-hand drive convertible ready for UK registration (ie with US title and HMRC documents and all import taxes paid), and complete with invoices from Norfolk Premier Coachworks for the work recently carried out, plus an MOT valid into September next year. Finished in a lustrous shade of Deep Red and trimmed in a contrasting tone of Brown, the Mercedes now seeks a new home worthy of its condition.The 280SL was launched in 1968 and powered by a new seven-bearing crankshaft 2781cc straight-six engine that developed some 170bhp and 180lbft of torque. It was equipped with all-round independent suspension, power-assisted disc brakes and recirculating ball steering. Some 23,885 280SLs were reputedly made by the time production ceased in 1971, virtually half of which were exported to the USA.

- Reputedly 1 of just 6 Rolls-Royce 25/30s to be bodied to this design by Windovers- Supplied new to W. Johnson Esq of the Basset confectionary company - Current owner since 1984, Marchal headlamps, drinks cabinet, twin spare wheelsThis charming long chassis 25/30 is finished in Cream over Brown and trimmed in Brown leather. Its Windovers Saloon body includes a Division and 'MJK 377' is thought to be one of just six Rolls-Royce 25/30s clothed to this design. It was supplied new on October 20, 1936 to W Johnson of the Basset confectionary company. The suitably impressive specification includes Marchal headlamps, twin spare wheels, chrome luggage rack, GB plate and cocktail cabinet. The Rolls has remained within the same ownership since 1984 but is now seeking a fresh chapter in its life courtesy of a new keeper. It comes complete with V5C and a copy of the factory records, as supplied by the RREC.Maintaining its policy of offering one 'Large' and one 'Small' model (the terms being purely relative), Rolls-Royce introduced the 20/25 in 1929 as a successor to the outgoing 20. Though the newcomer was intended to appeal to owner drivers, many examples were in fact sold to customers with chauffeurs. Power came from an enlarged version of the straight-six unit used in the 20. Now of 3699cc, it made for swifter acceleration and a higher top speed - up to 75mph, depending on the chosen body. The four speed manual gearbox featured the manufacturer's traditional righthand change and was equipped with synchromesh on the top two ratios from 1932 onwards. The substantial chassis sported rigid axles front and rear suspended on semi-elliptic leaf springs. The four-wheeled braking was mechanically servo assisted. In 1936, the company opted to increase performance once more, further enlarging the engine to 4257cc to create the so-called 25/30, of which 1201 examples were made before the model was superseded by the Wraith in 1938. Like most Rolls-Royces, the 25/30 starred on the silver screen, most notably in 'The Naked Truth' and 'Death on the Nile'.

- 1 of just 502 examples made- Formerly UK registered as 'J613 SWL' and more recently resident in Spain- Full Black leather upholsteryAmong the most outrageous homologation specials ever sold to the public, the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II debuted at the 1990 Geneva Motor Show. Conceived to dethrone BMW's dominant M3 (E30) in the highly prestigious DTM series, the newcomer sported an outlandish bodykit designed by renowned aerodynamicist Professor Richard Eppler of Stuttgart University. Powered by a bespoke shorter-stroke / bigger bore version of the 2.5 litre DOHC 16-valve engine fitted to its production siblings, the 'Evo II' developed 235bhp @ 7,200rpm and 181lbft of torque @ 5,000rpm. Equipped with a Getrag five-speed manual gearbox and weighing just 1,340kg, the four-door sports saloon was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and 155mph. Suitably uprated, its all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / multi-link rear) boasted an adjustable ride height function, while the Baby Benz's ABS-backed four-wheel disc brakes and power assisted recirculating ball steering were similarly enhanced. Considerably more expensive and rarer than BMW's equivalent E30 M3 Sport Evolution, all 502 examples of the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II were apparently snapped up before the model officially went on sale! Interestingly all but two were finished in 'BlauSchwarz' blue/black metallic (the others being painted Astral Silver). Though, owners could choose between full leather upholstery and hide trim with cloth inserts. Quick out of the box, it would not be until 1992 that racing versions of the 'Evo II' finally vanquished their BMW nemeses; the top three places in that season's DTM championship being occupied by Mercedes' drivers Ludwig, Thiim and Schneider respectively. This particular example was supplied new to Germany and first registered there on 27th July 1990. Subsequently resident in both Spain and the UK, it currently wears Spanish number plates ('MA-3714-BK') but also appears on the DVLA and HPi databases (as 'J613 SWL'). A serial BMW collector who has had numerous E30 M3s over time, the vendor was nonetheless intrigued by the prospect of owning an 'Evo II' and thus acquired chassis 736047 during 2003. Said to be 'huge fun to drive', it was garaged at his Marbella holiday home for several years before being entrusted to Blue Bell Wilmslow Ltd for some light recommissioning in December 2012. Totalling £2,440.09, the work included an oil and filter change for the engine plus new water hoses, while attention was also paid to the car's brake system, central locking, exhaust and headlamps etc. Further benefiting from four new Pirelli Rosso 245/40R17 tyres in 2013, the last twelve months or so have seen the Mercedes-Benz fitted with a new radiator and battery not to mention a miles / kilometres speedometer face. Still reading in kilometres, the odometer shows a highly credible but unwarranted 72,000 / c.45,000 miles. Starting readily upon inspection and sounding decidedly purposeful, chassis 736047 is trimmed in Black leather and retains its trademark gargantuan adjustable rear spoiler, blistered wheelarches and 17-inch alloy wheels. An apparently low mileage example, but not so low that it cannot be driven as its maker intended, this highly presentable 'Evo II' offers bidders the chance to acquire one of the most unlikely cars ever to emerge from Stuttgart! Accompanying paperwork includes a Spanish Tourist Class Registration Document, HPi report and sundry bills / invoices.

Interest in 'microcars' has been on the rise for some time, of which many view the tandem seat Messerschmitt's as the cream of the crop. This delightful KR200 Cabriolet hails from 1958 and has been restored over the past 2 years. This has included being repainted in two pack and the engine, gearbox, brakes and steering also being overhauled. New items have included a brand new tub, wiring loom, electric box, rear wheel plus tyre, new hood and the interior being re-trimmed. The streamlined aircraft-style body is finished in the eye-catching combination of cream and the interior trimmed in a complementary shade of red. The vendor currently grades the Messerschmitt in regards to the bodywork, paintwork, interior, engine (KR200s are capable of c.60mph!) and transmission as all being in 'excellent' order. Offered with V5C, the Messerschmitt currently displays 45,610 miles and would grace any microcar collection. A unique opportunity for bubble car aficionados everywhere.

- Currently displaying a credible but unwarranted 60,000 miles with paperwork dating back to 1981 at an indicated 39,913 miles- Desirable manual, home market example that appears to pleasingly retain its original engine and Beige leather upholstery- Original handbook, over 20 expired MOT certificates and a current one valid until June 2017Introduced in 1971, the Series III version of Jaguar's iconic E-Type sportscar was powered by a new super smooth 5343cc SOHC V12 engine. Further benefiting from a wider track, revised suspension geometry, power steering and uprated brakes, it proved a fitting swansong. Total RHD Coupe production amounted to 2,116 cars. Showing a credible but unwarranted 60,000 miles to its odometer, chassis 1S50550 is accompanied by paperwork dating back to 1981 at an indicated 39,913 miles. The subject of past restoration work including the refurbishment of its back axle assembly, the Jaguar looks to pleasingly retain its original 5.3 litre V12 engine and Beige leather upholstery. Passing its last MOT test on June 17th 2016, the E-Type appears to be fundamentally sound but would benefit from a bare metal repaint and sundry cosmetic tidying. A desirable manual example that the vendor has pressed into everyday service on occasion, he variously rates it as being in `average' (paintwork, interior trim), `good' (bodywork) or `very good' (engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrics) condition. Usable `as is', this seemingly low mileage, `home market', matching numbers V12 Coupe is offered for sale with original handbook, sales and service facilities book, over twenty expired MOT certificates and sundry other paperwork.

PLEASE NOTE: The vendor informs us this lot did not receive a service and new timing belt. The so-called T was the final iteration of Ferrari's mid-engined Mondial model range that was launched in 1980 and concluded in 1993, and differed markedly from its earlier siblings both inside and out. The T referred to the re-positioned drivetrain that, as per Ferrari F1 cars of the '80s, featured the engine mounted longitudinally driving through a transversely positioned transmission. This set the pattern for the marque's mid-engined V8 cars for years to come, and endowed the T with far superior handling to previous Mondials, that had their engines mounted higher up and across the frame. For ease of maintenance, the revised drivetrain was fixed to a removable subframe. Other Ferrari firsts embodied in the Mondial T included power-assisted steering, three-position electronically controlled suspension, and ABS as standard fit. Power was provided by a dry-sump V8 unit of 3.4-litres and 300bhp - sufficient to sprint the Prancing Horse to 60mph in 5.6 seconds. Production ran for just 4.5 years, during which 987 Coupe versions were created, just 54 of which featured right-hand drive and just five were finished in the Medio Blue of the sale car, making 'A11 CXD' a very rare example indeed. A notably original and unmolested right-hand drive manual gearbox example, it was supplied new to Evans Halshaw of Birmingham in August 1993. It received a documented speedometer change at 45,166 miles, and has so far completed a total of 65,492 and just been treated to a service and new timing belt. The vendor is now offering the Ferrari complete with original handbooks, service book containing 20 stamps, toolkit, over £42,000 of invoices and lots of MOTs, plus a current one free of advisories and valid into July 2017 - it confirms that this handsome Mondial has travelled little more than 2,000 miles in the last three years. A rare opportunity.

PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle has an entry into this year's London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. This charming veteran formed part of the famous Ward Brothers' Collection until it was successfully auctioned in 2009. It is believed to be the only remaining example, and is distinctive for having a fold-open front seat enabling passengers to be carried ahead of the steering column - hence the name. The coachwork is presented in Green and Black livery and trimmed with Black leather - the Phebus motifs on the side panels are a feature of the car. Its equipment includes a multi-twist bulb horn and the engine has been fitted with a contemporary water-cooled cylinder head. The veteran's comfortable ride is attributable to fully-elliptic front suspension and C-springs on the rear. Fresh valves and valve springs have been fitted in recent years and the Phebus has successfully contested the annual London-Brighton veteran car run. Its unexpected return to the market provides an exciting opportunity to purchase a unique London-Brighton contender that combines French 19th century chic with an impressive turn of speed and, of course, an early starting position in Hyde Park. The marque took its name from Phoebus, the Greek sun God, and its vehicles were manufactured in the Parisian suburb of Suresnes between 1899 and 1903 by Noe Boyer et Cie. The company initially marketed Aster-engine tricycles, one of which was ridden at the impressive speed of 39mph on the Crystal Palace velodrome by Charles Jarrott. F W Wellington of St George's Square, London, marketed the four-wheel Automobilette Phebus when it came to the UK in 1998, which inspired the Automotor Journal of January 1900 to report 'the new Dion-engined Phebus takes Primrose and Haverstock Hills with the greatest of ease'.

PLEASE NOTE: The vendor advises further details on the specification include:The crank is a standard size Australian item which has not been regroundThe rods are CarilloA standard cam is fittedCooper bearings on the rods with new shell bearings on the crankA Volumex supercharger is fittedNew wheel bearings and a fuel pressure warning light are also fittedThe car competed in club events with the HSRCA in Australia but the vendor has been unable to find out any further information on thisThe vendor has used it in non-VSCC club events with the MG Owners Club, Bugatti Owners Club and Midland Automobile Club - Built and raced in Australia before coming to the UK c.20 years ago - Restored by the vendor but retaining a lovely patina - Pre-selector gearbox, ready to enjoy Surely the most familiar and best-loved sports cars of their era, the P-type MGs naturally attracted the attention of the clever engineer and enthusiast in search of higher performance. Introduced in March 1934, the MG PA Midget was a more sophisticated and durable design than the J-type Midget it replaced. Longer and more rigid, its cruciform-braced chassis was equipped with all round semi-elliptic leaf springs (fixed at their leading edge but held in sliding trunnions at the rear). In standard two-seater form, its classic shape was described by colourful US motoring writer Ken W Purdy as a "grand piano supported by four harps"! This supercharged PA special was built in Australia and used in competition before being imported to the UK approximately twenty years ago. The vendor, an experienced engineer and racer, has owned the car since 2005 during which time it was treated to a chassis up restoration approximately ten years ago. The bodywork and maroon paintwork are currently described as "good" whilst the 948cc engine (complete with Carrillo rods, race pistons and friction-reducing Kawasaki rings) is "spot on", as is the pre-selector gearbox. The electrics have been rewired. The beige interior presents well with the imposing Jaeger rev counter in clear view of the driver behind the removable steering wheel. Under the bonnet the engine bay looks well cared for whilst the Blockley tyres, bonnet strap and rare mechanic's grab handle complete its sporting appearance. Braking is taken care of by Jaguar SS drums to the front with standard drums to the rear. A potent and highly attractive pre-War MG that has been timed at c.95mph at Goodwood, 497 UXH is only being offered for sale to help fund a new vintage project.

- Off the road for twenty-three years before entering the current ownership in 1971 as a rolling chassis- Engine found to contain bespoke 'hot' camshaft and Castrol R when restoration commenced and thus thought to have had past competition usage- Re-bodied in the style of the Fox & Nicholl Team Car that Lewis / Hindmarsh drove to 7th overall during the 1934 Le Mans 24-hours- Unofficially timed at 106mph and used for countless Continental tours- Recent engine overhaul and 'on the button'A Singer enthusiast through and through, the vendor purchased this particular example - originally a 1933 14hp model - from its previous keeper some forty-five years ago. Taken off the road in 1947 and left exposed to the elements, the Singer's bodywork had rotted away but its chassis and running gear remained intact (albeit they had become entangled in a hedgerow which had grown up around them). Once back in his Lake District workshop, the vendor began to strip down and refurbish his new acquisition. Intrigued by the presence of Castrol R (R for Racing) oil in the engine not to mention a decidedly non-standard camshaft, he thought it likely that the 2-litre OHV straight-six unit had had a competition past. Knowing Fox & Nicholl of Tolworth, Surrey had not only been supplied with three 1¢ litre Le Mans cars by the Singer Works for the 1934 season but also enlarged one of the engines to 2 litres, he began to wonder whether his powerplant had any link to their endeavours. Speaking at length to the first owner's nephew revealed the car had been fitted with a new engine just before WW2 and that his uncle had gone to 'somewhere near London to pick up an engine, gearbox and front axle from a crashed 2-litre Sports Singer'. Whether the somewhere near London was Tolworth remains unknown. However, a measuring tape showed the front axle to be wider than a standard 14hp assembly and the presence of twin carburettors, with proper provision for them, cast and bolted to the head was another anomaly. No standard 2-litre Singer 'six' of 1934 had twin carbs . . . but the racer did. Despite much dogged detective work which saw him contact the National Motor Museum, Chrysler (owner of Singer in the early 1970s), Richard Jury and Larry Gains (both mechanics with Fox & Nicholl during the early 1930s) and Bill Arnold (company secretary to Fox & Nicholl in period), the vendor was never able to prove a tangible link between his modified 14hp and the Tolworth-based firm.Nevertheless, he decided to replicate the distinctive torpedo coachwork worn by 'BPG 333' - the Fox & Nicholl entered Singer 1¢ Litre that finished seventh overall at the 1934 Le Mans 24-hours - when re-bodying his car. Put back on the road in 1976, the two-seater has been well exercised and much enjoyed over the past 40 years with the vendor and his wife undertaking several 5,000-mile plus tours of Europe aboard it. Taking part in the 75th Anniversary of the Ards Tourist Trophy Races during 2003 and journeying to Le Mans Classic with the Singer Owners' Club in 2008, the latter trip came after a radiator recore, carburettor refurbishment and the renewal of the gearbox bearings etc. While 2013 saw the steering box reconditioned, the front springs reset and the brakes attended to. A thorough engine overhaul followed in 2014 including a reground crankshaft, refaced flywheel, stitch-repaired and rebored / refaced block and six new Arias forged pistons. Reassembled with new valves / guides / springs / gaskets / timing chains / bottom and cam sprockets plus a rejuvenated distributor, the straight-six had covered some 500 running-in miles and been treated to an oil change by May 2015. Finished in 'Fox & Nicholl' Red with Black leather upholstery, the Singer's detailing extends to a turned aluminium dashboard (complete with Le Mans plaque), passenger grab handle, quick release radiator and fuel filler caps and auxiliary driving lights. Starting readily upon inspection and fitted with a taller than standard rear axle ratio, the two-seater has been unofficially timed at 106mph. Perhaps eligible for Le Mans Classic? not to mention a host of VSCC events, this delightful Singer 2 Litre Fox & Nicholl Team Car Evocation was featured in the January 1983 edition of Classic & Sportscar magazine (a copy of which remains in its history file as does a MOT certificate valid until June 2017).

"The Aston Martin DB2/4 is a sports car with a very definite appeal. It has full saloon car comfort, coupled with performance and roadholding of a very high order" (Autocar Magazine)Introduced at the October 1953 London Motor Show, the DB2/4 represented a new breed of longer-legged, more accommodating Aston Martin. Some seven inches longer and a little taller than its predecessor, the fitting of a smaller seventeen-gallon fuel tank (still good for circa 300 miles) plus some minor platform changes liberated enough room for two small seats to be positioned above the back axle. Visually distinguished by a one-piece windscreen and rear hatchback, the new model boasted such niceties as a telescopic steering column and adjustable backrests. Panelled in lightweight aluminium over an advanced tubular frame chassis, its independent front suspension featured a sophisticated trailing link, coil-sprung set-up tempered by an anti-roll bar, while at the rear a Panhard rod assisted radius arms in keeping the coil-sprung beam axle firmly tied down. Initially powered by a 2580cc version of the famous Willie Watson / W.O. Bentley designed DOHC straight-six engine, the adoption of a larger 83mm bore size saw capacity rise to 2922cc in mid-1954. Thanks to its 'Vantage' state of tune, the 2.6 litre unit was credited with developing some 125bhp and 144lbft of torque - outputs sufficient for a quoted 111mph top speed. Overshadowed by its racing DB3 / DB3S siblings, the model still enjoyed a successful competition career winning the team prize on the 1955 Monte Carlo Rally (interestingly, the factory also fielded a pair of DB2/4s for the Mille Miglia). Of the 565 MKIs made, just 448 are thought to have been two-door saloons.According to its accompanying copy Aston Martin Ltd (AML) Build Sheet and Service Record, this particular MKI 2.6 litre example - chassis number LML/664 - was originally specified with optional heavy duty shock absorbers and RJ needles. Supplied new via S.M.T. to Carlaw Ltd of 97 West George Street, Glasgow, the DB2/4 had a replacement engine fitted whilst still under guarantee and indeed appears to have returned to the factory for occasional work up until January 1964. Migrating to America sometime thereafter, the 2+2-seater was discovered by its previous keeper in a Virginian barn during 2008. Dust covered and obviously immobile for many years, the Aston Martin was subsequently entrusted to Francis Warwick of the Lea Francis Co in West Palm Beach, Florida (Mr Warwick's outfit specialises in the restoration of British marques). Disassembled, the DB2/4 had its alloy bodywork repaired as necessary and its underside cleaned and undercoated. The wiring was renewed and the instruments rejuvenated. The engine was thoroughly checked over and compression tested and the gearbox serviced. A period correct exhaust system was installed and the radiator re-cored. Attention was paid to the fuel system, suspension and four-wheel drum brakes too. Re-trimmed in Olive Green leather, the interior also gained a new Beige cloth headlining and refinished wood veneer trims. The windscreen was renewed and the side window winder mechanisms overhauled. The result of all this refurbishment was apparently 'Best in Class' and 'Exceptional in Class' awards garnered at various American concours meetings.Further enhanced since entering the current UK-based ownership, the past year or so has seen chassis LML/664 treated to an estimated £60,000 worth of expenditure by marque specialist Oselli. As well as a total bare metal repaint in California Sage Metallic, the 2+2-seater has benefited from sundry re-chroming (front grille / window frames / bumpers), new rubbers, overhauled SU carburettors and extensive engine / engine bay detailing not to mention the installation of a new aluminium radiator (plus associated cowlings), high torque starter motor, exhaust silencer, EZ electronic power steering, wood rim steering wheel and chrome wire wheels. Road tested following the renewal of its engine oil and anti-freeze etc, the Aston Martin possesses a 'no advisories' MOT certificate valid until May 12th 2017. Potentially Mille Miglia eligible, this decidedly smart and former concours award winning DB2/4 is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document, BMIHT Certificate, the aforementioned AML (Ltd) Build Sheet / Service Record, numerous restoration invoices / photos and tools.

- Ex-Richard Colton, much money spent with specialist Bill McGrath Ltd- Wheels recently refurbished and service carried out- Comprehensive service history, beautiful example of this stylish GTResponsible for supplying this handsome Gran Turismo when new, the Glenvarigill Company Ltd of Edinburgh also sold it to previous keeper Simon Hemingway under the Trident Approved Scheme on 10th October 2001 at a warranted mileage of 18,423. Finished in Blu Nettuno with Pelle Rossa upholstery and powered by a turbocharged 2.8-litre V6 (284bhp/305lbft) allied to four-speed automatic transmission, the four-seater cost Richard Colton £14,000 upon entering his ownership some four years and 47,000 miles later. Reputedly the penultimate example of just 236 RHD Ghibli IIs made, the Maserati was dispatched to marque specialist Bill McGrath Ltd during August 2006 where £12,462.05 worth of attention was paid to its radiator, steering, front suspension, rear axle, engine (cylinder heads overhauled, new pistons / liners / main bearings / timing chains etc) and interior. Waxoyled the following year, chassis 400235 returned to Bill McGrath Ltd c.3,000 miles ago for a cambelt service, new rear brake callipers and the fitment of stainless steel exhaust back boxes etc. Purchased by the vendor in 2015, the car has recently been treated to a service whilst the wheels have been refurbished. It is offered for sale with original owner's handbook and stamped service book, comprehensive service history including over £17,000 worth of post-2005 invoices, cherished registration V6 NBD and MOT certificate valid until June 2017.

MG Cs may have had a rough ride in period, but good ones are now very sought after on the classic market, as enthusiasts increasingly appreciate what a fine car it is in its own right rather than viewing it as an MG B with a difference. This extremely smartly-presented example is finished in the contrasting combination of Old English White bodywork and Black interior trim with white pipping. Having received an extensive bodywork restoration in c.2003, it further benefits from an MG Motorsport "fast road" engine, complete with triple 45 Weber Carburettors, Maniflow 6 branch manifold with duel pipe and twin rear box exhaust system, rebuilt gearbox and overdrive, uprated suspension and brakes, quick rack with EZ power steering, MGOC "executive" seats - other extras include chrome wire wheels and boot rack, and a leather-trimmed steering wheel. "CAN 976H" has been in the current ownership for the last 14 years and is offered with a large history file documenting all work completed and a collection of old MOT certificates dating back to the 1980's. The vendor currently grades the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, six-cylinder engine and four-speed overdrive gearbox as all being in "very good" order. It comes complete with an MOT into August 2017.

This handsome Volante is presented in Gunmetal Grey and trimmed in Black hide. It comes complete with Aston Martin service history endorsing the indicated mileage of 44,800, plus an MOT valid into September 2017. The vendor believes it to be a 'very good' example of the breed and currently rates the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V12 engine and automatic transmission as all being to that level of condition. Designed by Henrik Fisker before he formed Fisker Automotive, the DB9 was produced from 2004 to 2016 and was the first model to be manufactured at the company's Gaydon plant in Warwickshire. The Volante version features softer springing than the Coupe, but weighs 130 pounds more owing to its additional strengthening and high tech folding roof mechanism, which takes just 17 seconds to raise or lower. The engine output of 450bhp is sufficient for a 0-60mph time of 4.9 seconds and 165mph top speed.

Reputedly supplied new to Spain in 1972, this handsome Citroen 2CV Van was later purchased by Mr Shacaluga of Gibraltar with the aim of using it to promote his confectionary business. Upgraded for its new role, the light commercial was apparently fitted with the engine, gearbox and front disc brakes from a 1984 Citroen 2CV Saloon (plus other parts). Treated to a special paint job together with 'Gibraltar Confectionary' stickers, the 2CV also gained a wooden steering wheel, roof height cabin cooling fan, special seat covers, bespoke stainless steel bumpers and Citroen GS Pallas wheel trims. Understood to have been sparingly used by Mr Shacaluga and to have not formed part of his day-to-day delivery fleet, the Van was imported to the UK during 2007. Having previously benefited from a gearbox overhaul and replacement steering rack 'B198 KNV' is offered with an MOT certificate into November 2016 with no advisories, V5C, 'bits and bobs from its time in Gibraltar' and a collection of invoices.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle has an MOT certificate into October 2017

General Motors' Advance Design Series of trucks, represented the company's first post-war reshape and were claimed to be bigger, stronger and sleeker than the AK model they replaced. The newcomers quickly acquired a loyal following and were produced with only minor amendments from 1947 to 1955, during which period the Chevrolet brand topped the American truck sales charts. The left-hand drive sale vehicle has recently been brought to these shores from the dry state of California where its long term private keeper of some 10 years treated '734 UYO' to a re-paint and interior re-trim. Power comes from a 3.8-litre (231ci) petrol engine coupled to a three -speed manual gearbox and the pickup features a side mounted spare wheel with White wall tyres which are said to be all in 'good' order and has recently been treated to a new battery, starter motor, clutch kit, handbrake cables and oil change. Offered with V5C and MOT exempt if you drive a modern box and long for something more interesting - then this could be for you?!

- One of just 81 short chassis Internationals- Matching engine and chassis numbers- Eligible for numerous eventsFrom its inception in 1913, Aston Martin's early offerings quickly led to a reputation for performance and sporting ability. However, following the departure of Robert Bamford in 1920, Lionel Martin's concentration on motor sport naturally affected the business of manufacturing cars for sale to the public and, in 1925, with its finances in a precarious position, the company experienced the first of many changes of ownership. In 1924, control passed to the Charnwood family. In 1926, Bert Bertelli came on board and the company moved into new premises in Feltham. Bertelli oversaw the development of a team of Works cars to compete in racing events which were based on the 1.5-litre OHC road cars. These had dry-sump lubrication, which was carried over to the short chassis International sports model, which debuted in 1929. With coachwork designed by Bert Bertelli's brother Harry, just 81 examples were constructed before production ended in 1932.Chassis S50 was built in early 1930 and was first registered to Mr R A Godden of London that July. Mr Godden certainly enjoyed using the car as it returned to the Works in 1931 for an engine overhaul having covered some 18,000 miles. The next keeper, a WH Ainsley of Huddersfield, acquired the car in 1932 before selling it four years later to A Major G N Sheffield who spent the war years at the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough. In 1948 he sold the car to a colleague, Peter White, and by 1952 it was in the ownership of Aston aficionado, Eric Farmer, who also owned one of the 1922 GP cars. S50 remained in his possession for the next forty years being dismantled by him with a view to commencing a rebuild which he was sadly unable to continue due to illness. His friend, Denis Jenkinson, was called upon to loosely reassemble the car and it was subsequently sold to a Mr Thomas Lee of Virginia Water. Mr Lee had renowned Aston expert, Bill Elwell-Smith carry out a full restoration which was completed in 1995 and was reputed to have cost some £60,000 before the car came into the possession of David Venables. He used it on the road and in various events (understood to have been the first time it experienced any form of competition), including two outings at the Brighton Speed Trials in 2007 and 2009 where it took 2nd place in the VSCC class. In February 2011, the car featured on the front cover of The Automobile being the subject of a detailed article and road test.Finished in Carver Blue with dark blue leather interior, the car boasts matching numbers and remains in remarkably original and unmolested condition. Weather gear comprises of a double-duck tonneau, hood and hood cover.Accompanied by a good history file containing details of previous owners back to 1930, restoration receipts and correspondence, as well as many pre-war items including a copy factory work sheet, 2007 VSCC Eligibility Document and buff continuation logbook, GH 4093 must surely represent an excellent opportunity for the discerning collector to acquire an extremely desirable example of a truly iconic pre-War Aston Martin.

The Graham Hull-penned Silver Seraph marked Rolls-Royce's intention to reclaim its reputation as producer of 'the best car in the world'. Following a long gestation period it was eventually only made for four years - 1998 to 2002 - as a result of which just 1,570 Seraphs vacated the Crewe factory. Its monocoque chassis was 65 percent stiffer than that of the Silver Spirit it replaced, while power came from a BMW-derived all-alloy V12 engine of 5.4-litres. This Silver example is matched with a Dark Blue leather interior and displays 45,800 miles and has recently received new tyres and batteries. Included in the sale is the original book pack with handbooks plus service book containing 10 entries, the last dated July 2015 at 40,228 miles. 'R677 KSX' is offered with V5C, current MOT certificate into April 2017 and offers a potential new keeper a very special motoring experience at a fraction of its original cost.

Three more keepers have ensued, yet the Porsche's mileage currently stands at just 25,500 miles. This figure is fully supported by the service history that comprises 14 stamps by a combination of main dealers and marque specialists. The car's comprehensive specification includes electric sports seats, top tinted windscreen and a CD/radio with rear-mounted speakers. The vendor has no hesitation in grading the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, 3.6-litre engine and five-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'excellent' order, and is offering the Cabriolet complete with Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, full set of owners books, two sets of keys and an MOT valid into May next year. The perfect acquisition in readiness for Summer 2017.Penned by Benjamin Dimson, the 964 was manufactured between 1989 and 1994, when it was supplanted by the last of the air-cooled 911s, the 993. Its more integrated bumpers and other styling updates gave the newcomer a fresh appearance and it was considered by Porsche to be 85 percent new compared to the outgoing 3.2 model. It was also the first 911 to be offered with the option of Tiptronic automatic transmission, four-wheel drive, ABS brakes and power steering though, as before, there was the choice of Coupe, Targa or Cabriolet guises. The powerplant was a new naturally aspirated flat-six unit of 3.6-ltre displacement, the output of which was 248bhp at 6,100rpm. Autocar's performance figures for the manual gearbox Coupe were 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 158mph. The total number of 964s produced was 53,180, of which 4,802 were Carrera 4 Cabriolets.

PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is now registered 'A154OFX'.PLEASE NOTE: We are advised that the electric windows require attention. - Nero with Crema interior - c.24,000 miles only - Recent respray and cambelt service By switching to Bosch fuel injection in March 1981 Ferrari robbed its successful 308 GTB / GTS models of some forty horsepower. Worried about the consequent loss of performance, Maranello executive Eugenio Alzati determined to give the 90-degree 'quad-cam' 2926cc V8 its teeth back. Announced in October 1982, the new QV or 'quattrovalve' model was a revelation. Sporting - as its name suggests - four-valve cylinder heads, it was credited with developing some 240bhp and 192lbft of torque. Emissions friendly, it nevertheless boasted less noise, more power and better throttle response than its predecessor. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.7 seconds and 158mph, the QV cars once again had the raw speed to match their sublime Pininfarina sculpted looks. Finished in Nero black with crema interior, this LHD QV has been converted to euro spec lights. Registering just c.24,000 miles, recent expenditure has included a full repaint, new brakes, various engine, suspension and mechanical works, new tyres and a cambelt service. The vendor advises that receipts on file total c.£8,500. Offered with original service book and manual, spare wheel and some tools, the car will be UK registered and comes with an MoT until September 2017.
