- Restored over a 2 year period including re- paint and new interior - Fitted with fridge, hob, sink, main supply socket and ready to be enjoyed over the summer - 36,049 recorded miles and MOT's into Sept 2016 This notably handsome example of the perennially popular Type 2 VW Camper has been in its current ownership since September 2012, during which time it has undergone a major restoration that included: a repaint by PA Coatings and the provision of new curtains and a leather interior, plus cabinets by marque specialists RVTEC of Preston. The comprehensive specification includes: fridge, gas hob, sink, mains supply socket, Bluetooth stereo system, roof-mounted luggage rack and woodrim steering wheel. 'NPO 223J' is finished in White over Blue and trimmed in Brown. It currently displays an unwarranted 36,048 miles and is offered complete with samples from the interior renovation and a collection of old MOTs, plus a current one valid to September 25 this year. According to the vendor, the Dormobile's engine fires at the first turn and this attractive-looking home on wheels is fully ready for others to enjoy in the coming summer months.

- Much expenditure in the current ownership - Walnut dash, retrimmed red leather interior and respray in BRG - Engine overhaul by Gordon Dale & Beacon Hill Engineering, few miles since Introduced in 1946, the MKVI was Bentley's first post-WW2 model. Aimed at the emerging 'owner-driver' luxury car market, it was fitted with a freshly developed 4257cc engine mated to four-speed manual transmission. Suspension was independent by coil springs at the front and by leaf springs at the rear. Braking was by mechanically-assisted drums all-round. Unfortunately, the variable quality of steel available in the post-WW2 period meant that the MKVI's Standard Steel Saloon coachwork rarely lasted as long as Crewe had intended, and by the mid-1960s there were a good number of mechanically strong but cosmetically untidy cars running around. Dating from that time onwards, the tradition of building Bentley MKVI-based Specials is long and proud. This extremely attractive MKVI special is understood to have been converted by Michael Walker's Garage, (Rolls-Royce & Bentley specialists) of Woking, in the early 1980s when owned by an R J Stephenson. Subsequently passing to his son, M Stephenson, it was acquired by the vendor in 2011. RKM 233 has been maintained regardless of cost whilst in the current ownership, works carried out include a respray in BRG, re-trimming of the interior in red leather and the fitment of a walnut dashboard. Invoices on file dated 2009 relate to refurbishment of the SU carburettors and an engine overhaul by Gordon Dale and Beacon Engineering. Only around 2,500 miles have been covered since. Equipped with full weather gear and a tonneau cover (unused), aero screens and fold-flat windscreen, the car further benefits from the fitment of a recent set of wire wheels. Looking every inch the sporting Bentley special, the car is accompanied by a Swansea V5 registration document, assorted old MoTs and invoices relating to the build.

- Supplied new in April 1989 by Charles Follett of St. John's Wood and registered KMJ-1 - Finished in a wonderful colour combination and described as having a very good interior - Original service book accompanied by many maintenance invoices After a lengthy gestation period, the now ubiquitous Porsche 911 entered production in 1964, and much evolved versions of it remain in production to this day, 52 years later. Initially powered by an air-cooled, 2-litre, flat-six engine, in common with all other aspects of the 911 the engines have undergone steady evolution ever since. The 911 Carrera 3.2 made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show of September 1983. Visually indebted to the outgoing 911 SC, the Carrera wore a revised front valance with auxiliary driving lamps and a subtle 'Carrera' script on its engine lid. The model's 3164cc flat-six engine was credited with developing some 231bhp and 209 lbft of torque and was allied to a five-speed transmission, making it reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds and 153mph. Some 19,987 Cabriolet variants of the 3.2 Carrera were sold between 1984 and 1989. This very late 1989 model was supplied new by renowned London Porsche dealer Charles Follett of St. John's Wood, and was first registered on April 4th 1989 with the desirable number plate of KMJ-1, a plate it appears to have worn for the first five years of its life. Presented with a handbook and its original service book, the comprehensive history of this Cabriolet details that it was maintained by London (NW2) Porsche specialist Pickup Motorsport between 2001 and 2012, with a print-off of the maintenance invoices from Pickup covering the period 2005 to 2012. These show that a new clutch was fitted in March 2011 and there is also an invoice on file for a new roof in May 2012. Presented in a wonderful colour combination, this super looking 911 displays a total of 125,600 miles on it odometer and is described by the vendor as having very good bodywork, paintwork and interior trim.

- 1 of just 448 Fixed Head examples made - Supplied new via Northampton Motor Services to Colonel Nigel Victor Stopford Sackville CBE of Drayton House, Lowick and retained by him until 1966 at circa 58,000 miles. - Two former keepers shown on its V5C Registration Document - Off the road from 1969 - 2016 having recently emerged from a five-year long, 'chassis up' restoration - Matching chassis and engine (Vantage spec) numbers - Credible 65,000 recorded miles "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 Records, this particular MKI 2.6 litre example - chassis number LML/656 - was supplied new via Northampton Motor Services to Colonel Nigel Victor Stopford Sackville CBE of Drayton Park. Specified with optional heavy duty shock absorbers and RJ needles, the 2+2-seater underwent further preparations for Continental Touring at the Feltham Works during June 1954. Pleasingly retaining its original Instruction Book which shows that new tyres were fitted in April 1958 (29,000 miles), September 1961 (45,000 miles) and June 1965 (58,000 miles), 'KBD 236' was still wearing the latter set of Pirelli Cinturatos when it entered the current ownership via our April 2011 Buxton auction. A Northants resident for almost all its life and dry stored for forty-two years (1969 - 2011), the Aston Martin still shows just two former keepers on its V5C Registration Document. Believed to have covered just 65,000 miles from new, the DB2/4 has not long emerged from an extensive, nigh on 'nut and bolt' restoration that saw it stripped to a bare chassis. Having sought advice from the likes of Aston Services Dorset, Nicholas Mee, Four Ashes and Chicane Classics, the vendor had Ian Pitney and former Mulliner Park Ward panel beater Lance McCormack refurbish the chassis and bodywork. The factory-fitted engine was overhauled by Dave Swithen using parts sourced from Stamper Aston Martin of Cumbria (the same firm also supplying numerous components for other aspects of the project). Tarrozzeria carried out the repainting, while ex-Wood & Pickett craftsman Patrick Hanson re-trimmed the interior ('KBD 236' was originally finished in Moonbeam Grey with Red Connolly leather upholstery). Further benefiting from new wire wheels shod with Avon tyres, rejuvenated brightwork and a fresh wiring loom etc, the DB2/4 started readily upon inspection and boasts a current MOT certificate valid until 31st January 2017. Gaining as much pleasure from preserving Britain's motoring heritage as he does from driving it, the vendor is only offering this highly presentable, 'matching numbers' Aston Martin for sale to fund a series of other restoration projects.

- 1 of just 351 Series II examples made - Supplied new via Raymond Mays to Rowland Hunt Esq. of Aswardby Hall, Lincs - Uprated with a later Series engine during the 1960s (copy logbook from 1968 quotes the current engine number) - Significantly improved during the current ownership including a respray in California Sage Metallic, top-end engine overhaul (big valve cylinder head) and extensive suspension / brake / steering fettling - Part of a European collection for over 20 years Debuting at first the Paris and then London Motor Shows of 1958, the Aston Martin DB4 was a world class high-performance GT. Some four years in the making, its gestation was overseen by the marque's Technical Director John Wyer. Working alongside Carrozzeria Touring of Milan, Harold Beech developed a robust sheet-steel platform chassis which could accommodate the Italian coachbuilder's 'Superleggera' or 'Super Light' method of body construction (whereby hand beaten aluminium alloy panels are fitted over a cage-like structure of small-diameter support tubes). Equipped with independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a Watts linkage located 'live' rear axle and four-wheel disc bakes, the model was powered by a new all-alloy DOHC straight-six engine. Displacing 3670cc thanks to its 'square' bore and stroke dimensions (92mm x 92mm), the sophisticated powerplant was designed by Tadek Merak. Interestingly, the Polish-born engineer is thought to have fought Wyer's wishes for a more competition friendly 3-litre unit and to have initially favoured cast-iron construction. With a quoted 240bhp and 240lbft of torque on tap, the two-door fixed-head also boasted a four-speed all-synchromesh manual gearbox as standard. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds, 0-100mph in 21 seconds and 140mph, the DB4 won rave reviews from the likes of Autocar and Motor magazines. Despite a well stocked dashboard, finest Connolly hides and thick carpets, the refinement of early cars was compromised by wind roar at speed. Frames were quickly adopted for the side windows as a result and the 2+2 progressively refined through five series (a process that also saw it put on weight). Introduced in January 1960, the Series II variant was distinguished by its front-hinged bonnet, flat glass opening rear quarter lights, uprated front brake callipers and increased oil sump capacity. Of the 1,110 DB4s made, just 350 are thought to have been Series II cars (chassis DB4/251/L to DB4/600/R). According to its accompanying copy Aston Martin Ltd (AML) Build Sheet and Service Records, this particular Series II example - chassis number DB4/415/R - was supplied new via Raymond Mays to Rowland Hunt Esq. of Aswardby Hall, Spilsby on November 11th 1960. Acquired by watchmaker Bentima Co Ltd of 168 Old St, EC1 the following April, a copy continuation logbook on file shows that ownership later transferred to James Mario Elliot of Carlisle Place, SW1, Brenda Diane Making, Anthony Elliott and C. Benge (interestingly, the latter three all quoted 28 Carlingford Road, Morden, Surrey as their address). The same document also reveals that the DB4 was upgraded with a later series powerplant during the 1960s (engine number 370/894 supplanting 370/487). Early DB4 engines were prone to failure hence the reason that Aston Martin added an oil cooler to its specification as the model evolved. Part of a private European collection from the late 1980s through till 2014 when it entered the current custodianship via the Landmark Car Co Ltd, chassis DB4/415/R has since been substantially improved. Treated to a 'top-end' engine overhaul including replacement big valve cylinder head by Motronic Automotive Services of Iver at a cost of some £9,411.47, the four-seater was subsequently despatched to marque specialist Chicane Classics for over £30,000 worth of attention to its steering, brakes, front / rear suspension, exhaust and tyres etc. Cosmetically enhanced via a respray in California Sage Metallic, the Aston Martin started readily upon inspection and is understood to have covered some 500 post-fettling miles. Trimmed in Black leather as per its build specification and reunited with its original registration number 'SCT 415', this rare Aston Martin DB4 Series II is offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document, copy build record, copy continuation logbook and numerous restoration bills / invoices.

Unveiled at the 1957 London Motor Show, the Elite (Type 14) was Colin Chapman's first production road car and also the world's first fibreglass monocoque. The specification included F2-derived all-round independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes (inboard at the rear). Powered by a Coventry-Climax SOHC four-cylinder engine mated to four-speed manual transmission, its amazing 0.29 cd allowed all but the basic variant to claim a top speed of over 120mph. The work of Peter Kirwin-Taylor, aerodynamicist Frank Costin and John Frayling, the coupe's super sleek silhouette is still considered a masterpiece. This series 1 Elite comes to the market for the first time in over 50 years. Originally supplied direct from the factory to Ashmore Bros of West Bromwich. The Ashmore family were a well-known and highly successful racing family who reached the dizzy heights of Formula One in the 1960's in a Lotus 18. The Elite was owned by the Ashmore Bros until the most recent owner is recorded taking title to the car in 1966. In 2006 a full body off chassis restoration was started. The work was fully photographed and a detailed photographic and financial record of the rebuild is supplied with the car. The total cost of restoration was £44668.08. The bodywork and various other tasks were entrusted to renowned specialist Paul Matty amongst others. The matching numbers engine was rebuilt some 200 miles ago by the Climax specialist John Smirthwaite. The car sits on new chrome wire wheels and looks superb in silver with black leather trim. The vendor reports it to be running perfectly with no faults and it is accompanied by a substantial history file including the original green logbook. This Elite represents the rare chance to own one of the most iconic cars of the period presented in superior condition with interesting history and only two owners.

The last E-Type Jaguar rolled off the production line in 1975, yet the model still has a unique ability to excite enthusiasts of all generations, its Malcolm Sayer-penned lines thought by many to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motorcar. Like the XK150 before it, it was born of Jaguar's competition successes on the race tracks - this was no ordinary motorcar, it was a true thoroughbred. The E-Type made its debut at the 1961 Geneva Salon and from birth was available as a Fixed Head Coupe or a two-seater Roadster. At launch the newcomer was the fastest production car of its time - its 3.8-litre straight-six engine allowing a 0-60mph acceleration time of a whisker over seven seconds and top speed of c.150mph. Despite this, the engine size was increased to 4.2-litres in October 1964, with which came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and more comfortable seats. This left-hand drive Series I Fixed Head Coupe left Browns Lane in 1967 and was supplied new to Jim German Esq. by Jaguar Cars of New York. Bought by the vendor in Florida, USA as a stalled restoration project complete with overhauled engine, the E-Type is understood to have had its bodywork refurbishment completed by Smart Marh Restorations (including all new rubbers and seals) and also to have been treated to an interior re-trim encompassing new carpets. Attention has reportedly been paid to the mechanics too with the braking system being overhauled and new shock absorbers fitted plus a new clutch, fuel tank, fuel pump, lights and radiator. Riding on new wire wheels shod with fresh tyres and sporting a stainless steel exhaust system, the Jaguar has resided with the British vendor in Spain for the past few years and is offered with Heritage Certificate, collection of invoices and EU import paperwork.

- Entered from a private collection and current ownership since 2009 - 18,000 miles from new (last serviced by P&A Wood @ 16,004 miles) - Desirable Mulliner pack with 20-inch alloy wheels and diamond quilted seats and door cards etc - 6.0 litre W12 twin-turbocharged engine, automatic transmission, climate control etc Introduced at the 2003 Geneva Salon, the Continental GT was the most technologically advanced Bentley in generations. Powered by the marque's first all-new engine since 1959, its twin-turbocharged 5998cc W12 was allied to six-speed ZF Tiptronic transmission. With a quoted 552bhp and 479lbft of torque on tap plus Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive, the 2+2-seater GT was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 198mph. A deft blend of muscularity and elegance, the two-door coupe's lines were the work of Dirk Van Braekel. Equipped with sophisticated independent suspension and ventilated ABS disc brakes all-round, the Continental GT proved an accomplished transcontinental express. Unveiled for the 2005 model-year, the Mulliner Driving Specification boasted 20-inch 7-spoke alloy wheels, drilled alloy pedals and diamond quilted upholstery / door cards etc. Responsible for broadening Bentley's appeal in a way that no predecessor could match, the Continental GT's future classic status is assured. Finished in the striking combination of Silver Lake with Nautic Blue leather upholstery, this particular Continental GT Mulliner has had just two former keepers and covered a mere 18,000 miles from new. Purchased from Broughtons of Cheltenham for £53,210 on 22nd April 2009 with a warranted mileage of 10,500, the Bentley has since formed part of the vendor's impressive private collection (and been garaged alongside several 1950s/1960s Continentals). Last serviced by marque heritage dealer P&A Wood at 16,004 miles and sparingly used over the past few years, 'N5 AVB' remains highly presentable. Offered for sale with book pack (including stamped service log), history file and MOT certificate valid until March 2017.

- Entered from a private collection and current ownership since 1987 - Supplied new to Sheikh Mubarak Abdullah Al Hamad Al Sabah via Saad & Trad, Beirut - Later imported from America and entrusted to marque specialist P&A Wood for conversion to right-hand drive specification - 6230cc V8, automatic transmission, power assisted steering and air conditioning fitted - Reputed to have covered just 58,000 miles from new - 1 of just 82 chassis bodied to design number 2011 by H.J. Mulliner Introduced in Autumn 1962, the S3 Continental was notable as the last Bentley to be coachbuilt on a separate chassis. Powered by a 6230cc OHV V8 engine allied to four-speed automatic transmission and reputedly capable of nigh-on 120mph, the newcomer was ferociously expensive. One of the more striking designs available, H.J. Mulliner's 'Flying Spur' made precious few stylistic concessions to its four-door practicality. Inspired by the heraldic symbol bestowed upon the Scottish Johnstone Clan for helping Bonnie Prince Charlie escape the English on horseback, the model's distinctive moniker came courtesy of H.J. Mulliner's Managing Director, Harry Talbot Johnstone Esq. Understandably popular among contemporary celebrities such as Jayne Mansfield, Fanny Craddock, Sir John Mills, Harry Belafonte and Keith Richards, just 312 S3 Continentals were completed between 1962 and 1966. However, H.J. Mulliner only bodied 82 chassis to its design number 2011. According to its accompanying copy chassis cards, this particular example - chassis BC92LXB - was supplied new via Saad & Traad of Beirut to Sheikh Mubarak Abdullah Al Hamad Al Sabah (the extended Al Sabah family includes the present Emir of Kuwait). Originally finished in Carribbean Blue with Off White leather upholstery - the same combination it pleasingly sports today - the Bentley was also specified with Colonial suspension, electric windows all-round, Dunlop white-sided tyres and a 'Made in England' bulkhead plaque. Apparently resident in America thereafter, the Flying Spur was first UK road registered on 7th February 1972. Numerous copy invoices on file from Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists P&A Wood show that they have known the decidedly elegant four-seater for some forty odd years. As well as looking after the Bentley for previous custodians Bernard J. Crowley Esq., J.J. Burton Esq. and Ian Scoggins Esq. not to mention installing a heated rear window and air-conditioning, the renowned Essex-based firm sold it to the vendor on 5th February 1987 at an indicated 41,715 miles. The subject of an article in the Third P&A Wood Newsletter entitled 'The Missing Registration Document and the Mouse!' chassis BC92LXB was described thus: 'We had a Bentley S3 Flying Spur with very low mileage for sale. It was a car which had been imported from America and which we had converted from left- to right-hand drive for a customer who wanted a very good low mileage example . . . It soon became apparent that there was a mouse in the car. We tried everything to find the mouse but just like in the cartoons it was probably laughing at us while we almost dismantled the whole car! . . . The history file had been left on the back seat and everything was there except for the Registration Document . . . The buyer took the car for the weekend and on the Monday telephoned Paul to say he had found the document. "Where was it?" asked Paul. The buyer explained that when he switched the heater on it blew out all over him! The mouse had used it for its nest in the heater ducts. He took it in good spirits and sent us all the pieces in an envelope. We had the car back but never did find the mouse!' Assorted old MOT certificates suggest that the Bentley has covered just 17,000 or so miles over the last twenty-nine years. Part of an impressive private collection during that time (and stabled alongside several other Continentals), the sports saloon has benefited from in-house maintenance plus attention to its ignition (2002, 2008), brake system (2008, 2010), windscreen seal (2010) and fuel pumps. Treated to a £14,730 bodywork restoration / respray in 2009-2010, more recent work has seen the wood veneers refinished and the sump cleaned out. A globe-trotting Flying Spur with an enviable history, 'RYT 15' shows a highly credible 58,000 miles to its odometer. A great way to share Bentley Continental motoring with friends.

- Entered from a private collection and current ownership since 1984 - Supplied new to James Douglas Alston CBE of South Lopham Hall, Norfolk by Jack Barclay Ltd and later the property of the actor Patrick Allen - 1 of just 119 S1 Continental chassis bodied to design number 7400 by H.J. Mulliner - 4.9 litre straight-six engine, automatic transmission and original Champagne leather upholstery - Extensive period service history with Jack Barclay Ltd Allocated design number 7400, the two-door all-aluminium Fastback coachwork which H.J. Mulliner crafted for the Bentley S1 Continental chassis was decidedly rarer than that fitted to its R-Type predecessor. Stylistically more reserved but still "flowing and purposeful and free from any needless excrescence", the newcomer was not only underpinned by a notably stiffer chassis (up fifty percent in terms of torsional rigidity) but also boasted a smaller turning circle, more compliant suspension and improved hydraulic brakes. Typically allied to four-speed automatic transmission, its refined 4887cc OISE straight-six engine yielded a 120mph top speed and impressive acceleration. Arguably the ultimate Bentley S1 Continental variant, the H.J. Mulliner Fastback was among the very fastest and most glamorous four-seaters of its generation. According to its accompanying copy chassis cards, this particular example - chassis BC94AF - was supplied new via Jack Barclay Ltd and Mann Egerton & Co Ltd to James Douglas Alston CBE of South Lopham Hall, Diss, Norfolk (a gentleman farmer and former deputy Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk whose business interests extended to Norwich City Football Club). Clothed by H.J. Mulliner with body number 5888, the Bentley was initially road registered as 'SYE 545' on 5th July 1956 and finished in Tartan Green with Champagne leather upholstery. Purchased from Jack Barclay Ltd by A.J. Koenen Esq. - a London-based wine merchant - some three years and 38,000 miles later, the Fastback passed to its third keeper the renowned stage and screen actor Patrick Allen Esq during February 1966. Re-registered as 'PKA 999' during his tenure which copy Jack Barclay Ltd invoices show lasted well into the 1970s, chassis BC94AF is then known to have passed through the hands of Bertram Cowen Ltd, Kevin Dolan Esq. and Nicholas Hart Esq. before entering the current ownership on October 1st 1984 (purchase invoice on file). Assorted old MOT certificates suggest that the Bentley has covered just 10,000 or so miles over the last thirty-two years. Part of an impressive private collection during that time (and stabled alongside its sibling BC90AF for several decades), the luxurious four-seater sports saloon has nevertheless been treated to an engine overhaul by Arthur Archer of Dunmow: new piston rings, bearings, valve guides, gaskets etc (1987, c.5,000 miles ago), replacement woolcloth headlining (2000), front suspension refurbishment (2006), new windscreen (2009), fresh exhaust system (2012) and rejuvenated wood veneers (2016) plus attention to its ignition system and brakes etc. Pleasingly thought to retain its original Champagne leather upholstery, the Fastback had already been repainted Dark Blue when Mr Dolan displayed it at the RREC's South of England Rally on 8th May 1983. Awarded 2nd Place in the Best Visiting Classic Class at the Jaguar Drivers' Club's East Anglian Concours d'Elegance Meeting some twenty-four years later, the Bentley remains a very imposing and presentable motorcar. Reluctantly being offered for sale and currently undergoing a cherished number plate transfer, this decidedly rare S1 Continental H.J. Mulliner Fastback - 1 of just 119 - is accompanied by an original sales brochure, handbook and history file. Post-War Bentleys rarely come more beautiful or collectable.

- Restored example with low chassis front axle fitted - Retaining it's Zenith carburettor, refurbished Autovac system - All weather gear and ready for touring "In brief, the two-litre Lagonda may be said to combine the lively performance of a sports car with the quiet manners and convenience of a tourer, the result being a vehicle which is a sheer delight to handle, while it will convey four people in comfort over long distances at a high average speed" (Autocar, 16th December 1927) Some two years after its 1925 Motor Show launch, the Lagonda 14/60 morphed into the Two-Litre High Chassis model. Built around a sturdy ladder frame chassis equipped with semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes, it was powered by the same 1954cc engine as its predecessor. Designed by Arthur Davidson, this imposing looking four-cylinder unit featured twin high-mounted camshafts and fully machined hemispherical combustion chambers. Developing some 60bhp @ 3,500rpm, it was mated to a four-speed manual gearbox and gave a top speed of between 70mph and 80mph. First registered on 28th July 1928, a letter from the Lagonda Club advises this example passed through the hands of Dobsons of Staines (Lagonda's outlet for trade-ins) in 1934, and by 1948, was owned by F R Ponsford-Jones of Co. Meath. He owned a number of Lagondas and decided to make one good one using parts from others in his collection. He fitted two-seat DHC coachwork which was replaced by touring bodywork around 1960. Fitted with a low chassis front axle and Z-Type rear axle, it retains its Zenith carburettor whilst benefiting from a refurbished Autovac system. Complete with all weather gear and ready for touring, PK 2611 is understood to have been restored on the Isle of Wight by an aircraft engineer around 1990 and has been in the current ownership since 2009. A previous winner of the Robbie Hewitt Trophy for best Lagonda at Brooklands, this lovely example is accompanied by a copy article of the 1940s build by Mr Ponsford-Jones, instruction book, restoration photographs, assorted invoices and a Swansea V5 document.

- In current ownership for 30 years - Restoration project completed in 2012 - Part of a small private collection kept in dry storage Though '822 VMU' has no recorded history, it is an extremely attractive example that has remained within its current ownership for no less than 30 years, as part of a small private collection. A June 1959 model, it has recently been the subject of a prolonged nut and bolt restoration that was eventually completed in 2012, since when the total recorded mileage is just 27 miles. The bodywork was professionally repaired and then painted to what the vendor describes as 'the highest standard' in Iris Blue. All the car's mechanical and electrical components were either restored or replaced - to the original specification wherever possible. The 948cc A-Series engine was rebored and equipped with new pistons, reground crankshaft, new bearings, standard specification camshaft, timing chain and sprockets, rocker shaft, oil and water pumps. The only diversions from standard specifications comprised the common and popular: fitting of the improved cylinder head type 12G295; replacement of the original SU carburettors with 1.25-inch ones; installation of the superior 'ribbed' gearbox driving through a 1098cc type flywheel and clutch assembly. The original seats and interior trim were all reupholstered in Navy Blue vinyl and a replacement hood made to match. All five original steel wheels are fitted with new Continental tyres. The vendor describes the fully refurbished Sprite as 'meticulously detailed' and unsurprisingly classes the two-seater bodywork, interior trim, paintwork, venerable A Series engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being 'excellent'. He is now offering the Frogeye complete with V5C, colour-matched storage bag for the sidescreens, BMC toolkit, original jack, driver's handbook, photographic records of various restoration stages and a substantial file of invoices. The Frogeye was launched in Monte Carlo immediately prior to the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix. Some 49,000 were built between then and 1961, when the model was replaced by the more conventional-looking MKII Sprite.

- 1 of just 488 UK supplied examples - First owned by a member of the Rothschild family - Four keepers from new and in the vendor's custodianship for a total of over 30 years Heavily influenced by the Dino 206 GT Berlinetta Speciale concept car (a thinly disguised 206 S sports racer) which Pininfarina had unveiled at the 1965 Paris Salon, the roadgoing Dino 206 GT debuted in Turin two years later. Compellingly curvaceous and bodied in aluminium over a tubular steel chassis frame, it seemed a fitting tribute to Enzo Ferrari's late beloved son Alfredino. Boasting all-round, independent double-wishbone suspension, Koni shock absorbers, anti-roll bars and four-wheel disc brakes, the newcomer was the first Maranello production design to feature either rack-and-pinion steering or a mid-mounted engine. Although, the 1987cc 'quad-cam' unit in question was the work of Franco Rocchi, its inspiration came via Alfredino and the legendary Vittorio Jano (who between them had convinced Enzo Ferrari of the inherent engineering merits behind a compact V6 as early as 1956). Developing a quoted 180bhp at 8,000rpm, the free-revving powerplant was allied to five-speed manual transmission and promised a 140mph plus top speed. However, despite sensational looks and inspired, race-bred handling, the announcement of an even faster variant at the March 1969 Geneva Motor Show saw 206 GT production cease in August 1969 after just 152 cars. Thankfully, its successor - christened the 246 GT on account of its larger 2418cc engine - retained the same sublime Pininfarina styling (albeit draped over a 60mm longer wheelbase). With a quoted 195bhp and 166lbft of torque on tap, it was reputedly capable of 151mph and 0-60mph in 6.8 seconds. To ease manufacture, the revised two-seater utilized a cast-iron cylinder block and steel bodywork. Inheriting its forebear's cabin architecture complete with steeply raked bucket seats, aluminium fascia, suede-topped dashboard and 'chrome fingered' transmission gate, the model typically rode on Cromodora 'bolt on' alloy wheels. Phased in around mid-1971, the final Series III or Tipo E Dino benefited from revised gear ratios and a different fuel supply system (though, little else was changed). Regardless of Series / Tipo designations, just 488 right-hand drive 246 GTs are thought to have been UK supplied. The tidy-looking right-hand drive example we are delighted to offer here is finished in an attractive shade of Blue Scuro and has had just four keepers from new, one of whom has owned it twice and for a total of over 30 years. It is understood to have been bought new in March 1972 by a member of the Rothschild family. He retained it until 1977, at which point the title passed to a Richard Hughes of Oving near Aylesbury. The vendor first acquired the Ferrari in 1982 and used the Prancing Horse as his daily driver until selling it to a Kim Bowerman in 1989. It was during Bowerman's tenure that a considerable amount of refurbishment was apparently carried out by renowned marque specialist Rardley Motors of Hindhead - this is understood to have included a complete respray, Connollising of the Pale Blue hide interior and a lead-free conversion to the V6 engine. The vendor re-purchased the car in 1994, since when it has been used sparingly and still only displays a total of 63,888 miles. 'RHY 111' was treated to a new Lucas battery only a few weeks ago and the vendor currently classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and five-speed manual transmission as all being in 'good' order. He is offering the Ferrari complete with a raft of general paperwork and old V5s, tax discs and MOTs, plus the current V5C and a current MOT valid until July 15th; also a copy of the April 2008 edition of Classic & Sports Car for which 'RHY 111' graced the front cover and appeared inside as part of a feature article.

Introduced at the 1999 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Bentley Arnage Red Label boasted 835Nm of torque - more than any other production car! Powered by a revised version of the marque's long-serving 6.75-litre V8 (albeit in turbocharged guise) allied to four-speed automatic transmission, the newcomer was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds and 155mph. Further benefiting from a stiffer bodyshell, revised suspension and bigger brakes, the luxury saloon came with an Alpine sat-nav system and parking sensors as standard. Finished in Gloss Black with Black leather upholstery, this particular example is understood to have been supplied new by Jack Barclay Ltd. Maintained by the latter as well as the likes of Broughtons of Cheltenham and Bentley Norwich, its most recent service was carried out by specialists Royce of Surrey at an indicated 87,000 miles (some 3,000 miles ago). Rating the Bentley's turbocharged 6.75 litre V8 engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as 'excellent', he considers the luxury saloon to be: 'A car for all seasons. Marvellous to drive and be driven in'. Riding on alloy wheels, this 'fastidiously maintained' Arnage Red Label boasts an advisory-free MOT certificate valid until March 2017.

Ever since the landmark 300SL was unveiled in 1954, Mercedes have produced an SL (Sport Leicht) model or range of models. The similarly styled, but mechanically unrelated, 190 followed in 1955, completing the first generation of cars. It was succeeded by the W113 Series, the rarest variant of which, the 250SL, was officially introduced at the March 1967 Geneva Salon. Blessed with effortlessly elegant Paul Bracq styling, it was powered by a new SOHC straight-six engine. Suspension was independent all-round while braking was by power-assisted discs on all four corners, and steering by power-assisted recirculating ball. The majority of 250SLs were specified with four-speed automatic gearboxes, and many were ordered in 'Coupe Convertible' guise, that came with both a soft-top and the famous 'Pagoda' hardtop roof. Faster than the 230SL 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. This smartly-presented left-hand drive SL was first registered on January 1st 1968 and specified with both power steering and automatic transmission. Relatively little is known about its history other than it was owned by a Mrs Kathleen Hack of Michigan USA from December 4th 1989 until purchased by the vendor and UK registered as 'KCK 447F' last year. At some stage the Benz has been upgraded by the replacement of its original 2.5-litre engine by a 2.8-litre one from a period 280 SE. The car is resplendent in Red matched to a Black leather interior and currently displays 102,935 miles. The vendor presently classes the Pagoda's straight-six engine, automatic gearbox and interior as 'excellent' and the two-door bodywork and paintwork as 'very good', and is offering the car complete with fresh V5 and both hard and soft tops.

- Engine upgrade to Vantage specification and 4 speed ZF automatic gearbox - Original wheels and gearbox included and available for collection from vendor - Vantage front air dam and Oscar India bonnet fitted - Suffolk Red with Fawn leather interior - Featured on front cover of Classic & Sportscar magazine in 1986 - Purchased from Paul Spires and three owners from new - In the current ownership since 1990 In 1973 Aston Martin introduced the Weber carburettor-fed V8, retrospectively designated Series 3. In 1977, the engine, incorporating some of the modifications for the then-new V8 Vantage was given the 'S' specification. Later cars also had a redesigned dashboard with black replacing chromed instrument bezels. TYX807S was delivered to a London business in March 1978 and in 1986 passed to Paul Spires, currently commercial director at Aston Martin Works. In October 1986, the car featured on the front cover of Classic and Sportscar magazine. In 1990, it was acquired by the current third owner. In 1991, the colour was changed from the original Florida Blue to Suffolk Red and a Vantage front air dam and Cibié driving lights fitted. In 1993 the chassis was refurbished by Aston Engineering of Derby, with a Harvey-Bailey handling kit fitted, and in 1995, they extensively overhauled and upgraded the engine to Vantage V540 specification (approx. 380 bhp) with stainless exhaust system, since when the car has completed approximately 23,000 miles. In 2002, uprated AP brakes were fitted. In 2011, at 123,831 miles the Chrysler gearbox was replaced with a ZF4HP24 unit with a low-stall torque converter, necessitating a new speedometer. The lower three ratios are the same as original with the addition of a lock-up 0.73:1 overdrive fourth gear giving 33mph per 1,000 rpm and making for more relaxed and economical running. The car is currently fitted with 17" Image alloy wheels, giving a wide availability of tyres but the original GKN wheels (and Chrysler gearbox) will be available with the car. Additional equipment includes intermittent wipers, electric door mirrors, headrests, rear seat belts, mats and alarm/immobiliser/remote central door locking. The interior is refurbished, with the dashboard vinyl replaced by matching leather and the headlining in alcantara. The car is ready to be used and enjoyed but would also provide a sound base for return to original specification.

- Original 'matching numbers' car - Original Barker three-position open touring coachwork - Factory-fitted 4 wheel brakes The model upon which Rolls-Royce's reputation as makers of 'The Best Car in the World' was founded, the 40/50hp debuted at the November 1906 London Motor Show. A somewhat conventional yet beautifully executed design, the newcomer was based around a massive ladder-frame chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension, powerful rear wheel brakes and spiral-bevel final drive. Displacing 7036cc (7428cc from 1910), its superlatively smooth six-cylinder engine featured a seven-bearing crankshaft, full pressure lubrication and twelve sparkplugs (fed via a dual magneto / coil ignition system). Allied to four-speed manual transmission (though, a three-speed gearbox was utilised from 1909 to 1913), the sidevalve unit proved both wonderfully torquey and eerily quiet. With a shrewd eye for publicity, Managing Director Claude Johnson had the company demonstrator 'AX 201' (the first 40/50hp to be known as a Silver Ghost on account of its striking livery and silver-plated fittings) take part in both the 1907 Scottish Reliability Trial and an RAC scrutinised 15,000 mile endurance run immediately afterwards. Though made to journey between London and Glasgow no less than 27 times as part of the latter ordeal, a thorough post-event examination revealed that the car had suffered no appreciable wear to its engine, gearbox, rear axle or brakes. Indeed, the only parts that factory mechanics felt compelled to change were: a steering rod tie pin, steering lever ball tip, magneto driving joint, fan belt, petrol strainer and two front wheel pivot pins. Though, as the RAC report on the World Record breaking run stated: "Had the car been in the hands of a private owner no replacements would have been considered necessary". Possessing a legendary eye for detail, Henry Royce continued to develop the 40/50hp throughout its 18-year production life. Thus, late Silver Ghosts boasted considerably more horsepower (up from 48bhp at 1,250rpm to 80bhp at 2,250rpm) and higher top speeds (some lightweight bodied cars were timed at over 80mph) than their earlier brethren. Optional from late 1923 onwards, servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes became standard the following year. As stated by its accompanying copy chassis cards, this particular example - chassis number 35NK - was bodied as a Cabriolet de Ville (a.k.a. an Enclosed Drive Cabriolet) by Barker & Co. Among the renowned coachbuilder's most versatile and hence expensive designs, it could be configured in fully open, fully closed or Sedanca de Ville positions. Supplied new to Joseph Godfrey Esq. of 54 Porchester Terrace, London W2 on 3rd April 1924, the Silver Ghost returned to the factory some ten months later to be fitted with front wheel brakes and torque reaction dampers. Serving as Chief Liberal Whip in the House of Lords from 1923 to 1944, the Rt. Hon Lord Stanmore of Golding Manor, Laughton became the Rolls-Royce's second keeper in May 1928. Known to have belonged to Ayrid Holm Esq. of Kingsnorth, nr Rochester thereafter and to have sourced parts from the marque's Cricklewood service depot during the 1930s, chassis 35NK subsequently migrated to America. Reportedly restored by custodian Alfred Kohnle in the 1980s, the Silver Ghost then spent many years in the late Frank Cooke's collection. Known on both sides of the Atlantic for his expertise with Rolls-Royce and Bentley motorcars, Mr Cooke was the proprietor of The Vintage Garage in Massachusetts and doubtless worked his magic on the Cabriolet de Ville. Extensively toured by its penultimate long-term custodian Dr Norton J. Bicoll of Santa Fe (another well-known collector), the Silver Ghost returned back to England some years ago. Chassis 35NK has recently had £27,000 spent on her, including a re-trim (Green leather in the front with Beige West of England cloth to the rear) and a mechanical overhaul by a marque specialist. The Rolls Royce is said by the vendor to 'drive beautifully' and to be 'mechanically healthy'. Pleasingly retaining its original Barker coachwork, factory-fitted engine and running gear, this elegant and imposing Silver Ghost is being offered for sale entirely without reserve. Worthy of close inspection and a potential passport to all sorts of prestigious events, chassis 35NK is offered for sale with copy chassis cards, UK V5C Registration Document and sundry other paperwork. Guide Price: £120,000 - £160,000

PLEASE NOTE: This lot has been NOVA declared by the vendor. He has also volunteered to pay the admin fees for Peter Anderson of Imported Vehicle Registration to UK road register the car on behalf of a new owner should it remain in the UK. This lovely-looking F1 Magna is reportedly a 'matching numbers' example presented in its original livery of Black bodywork complemented by a Red leather interior. An accompanying copy of the original guarantee card supplied by University Motors, Plaistow shows the MG's first owner to have been Mr F Mann of nearby London E6, who took delivery of his new vehicle on July 8th 1932. The vendor informs us that the car was the subject of a restoration 10-15 years ago. He grades the six-cylinder OHC engine, four-speed manual transmission and paintwork as 'excellent', and the four-seater bodywork, electrical equipment and interior trim as 'very good'. He further describes the 1271cc powerplant as 'sweet' and the crash gearbox as 'superb'. He is now offering this rare MG (a total of only 1,250 F1, F2 and F3 Magnas were produced) complete with expansive history file, including the Abingdon factory build sheets. It is being presented with a Norwegian logbook but comes with NOVA number and VAT fully paid. A rare opportunity for MG aficionados everywhere. The F-Type Magna range was only produced between 1931 and 1932 and was created to fill the evident gap that existed between the very affordable M-Type Midget and the far dearer 18/80 range of cars. It was effectively a six-cylinder, longer wheelbase version of the four-cylinder D-Type launched at the same time, and therefore featured a newly designed, riveted steel chassis with sliding trunnion suspension, underslung rear axle and centre-lock wire wheels. Though supposedly new, the engine was in fact an extended version of the Wolseley Hornet unit, but equipped with dummy side covers in order to appear to be of fresh design. Its power output was 37.2bhp and it drove to the rear wheels via a straight-cut ENV gearbox. In hood-down guise, the Magna was capable of a creditable 72mph-plus flat out.

- First registered to Viscount Monsell of Evesham - One of just ten Lagonda M45As built - Stunning looking conversion to Le Mans style coachwork Among the rarest Lagondas ever made, the M45A measured its production span in terms of months rather than years. Notable as the last model to be signed off before Lagonda went into receivership, manufacture recommenced during Autumn 1935 once LG Motors (Staines) Ltd had taken control but is thought to have accounted for just ten saloons. An evolution of the M45 incorporating lessons learnt from the sporting M45 Rapide, the M45A utilised a modified version of the marque's proven 10-ft 9in wheelbase `ZM' chassis but with the engine set further forward so as to increase cabin space. The radiator and Girling brake system of the Rapide were adopted but otherwise the newcomer was mechanically more akin to the M45 (though, it did also share the racier model's rocker cover). Powered by an unstressed Meadows 6ESC 4453cc OHV straight-six engine, the M45A was reputedly capable of 95mph. Compared to the `Silent Traveller' ST34 saloon body fitted to the M45, the pillarless four-door ST64 body found on its successor was not only roomier but also boasted a host of detail changes including: a larger, more rounded boot, reprofiled windscreen, flush door hinges, improved mouldings and restyled / valanced wings (complete with a central ridge). Of the ten M45A saloons built during the Summer and Autumn of 1935, it is understood that just two are known to have survived. According to its chassis plate, Z11408 began life as one of those extremely rare M45A ST64 pillarless saloons. A letter from the Lagonda Club confirms it was first registered on 1st July 1935, although it was not delivered to its first owner, Viscount Monsell of Evesham, until 8th November. Due to its Surrey registration number it is quite possible the car served as a Works demonstrator between first registration and its November delivery date. Bolton Meredith Eyres-Monsell, 1st Viscount Monsell GBE PC, had been a decorated Naval Commander during WW1, receiving the Order of the Nile from the Sultan of Egypt. He enjoyed a lengthy and successful political career, serving as an MP for Evesham District from 1910 to 1936 and held the position of Chief Whip of the Conservative party until 1931 when he was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. It is not known when he sold the car but by November 1955 it was in the ownership of a K A Targett of Chiswick and in 1970 was acquired by Tony Toffolo of Paignton, Devon. According to Club records, it was he who removed the original saloon body replacing it with touring coachwork. It is believed this is the coachwork worn by the car today. The work would appear to have been completed to a good standard and CPK 384's appearance is both striking and extremely attractive. Finished in green with black seating and carpets, aero screens and Rapide style exhaust complete its sporting character. In December 1984 the car was acquired by motor dealer, Geoff Forty, who sold it in April 1985 to a Mr H Pendlebury of Blackburn. By July 1990 it was in the ownership of a Miss Janet Simpson of Preston, from whom it was purchased by the vendor's late-father in 2008. The engine currently fitted is numbered M45/15 and is understood to have originally been installed in chassis Z10510 before being repaired under warranty and then fitted into chassis Z10795 which is believed to have been subsequently broken up. Featured on the front cover of Lancashire Life magazine in December 2007 (a copy accompanies the car), it is understood to drive well with a good turn of speed, although the exact current specification of the Meadows straight 6 OHV engine is unknown. CPK 384 is being offered with Swansea V5c document, a number of expired MoT certificates and a photocopy spiral bound Revised Handbook for 4.5-litre, M45R and LG45 models. Although exempt, it is expected to possess a fresh MoT certificate in time for the sale. Fast, tough and beautiful, the M45 is as highly prized today (and for exactly the same reasons) as it was amongst those lucky enough to have enjoyed ownership during its 1930s heyday.

Introduced at the September 1979 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Porsche 924 Carrera GT was built as a limited run of 406 homologation specials (331 LHD, 75 RHD). Designed as the basis for a successful Group 4 racer / rally car, it utilised the same basic two-door bodyshell as the standard 924 albeit adorned with various mouldings (front valance, front wings, rear wheelarch extensions etc). Running 0.75bar boost, an 8.5:1 compression ratio and large intercooler, the turbocharged 1984cc SOHC four-cylinder engine was quoted as developing 210bhp and 203lbft of torque. Priced at just £19,210.75, the model's UK allocation sold out in next to no time. This RHD example is finished in black with black / red pinstripe interior, the vendor advises the vehicle comes with evidence of an engine overhaul in 1989, 14 expired MoT certificates, various service sheets and invoices (including a retrim of the front seats in 2016 and the fitment of a reconditioned turbo). Accompanied by an MoT to August 2016, it is described as having "very good" bodywork and paintwork with "excellent" engine, transmission and interior.

- 1 of 17 examples built and 1 of 3 known survivors - Body by Hughes Ltd in Kenya - Finished in Spruce Green - Extremely rare barnfind for restoration 109E18717 rolled off the production line at Dagenham in 1961 as a grey two door saloon. Interestingly it then formed part of a small batch of seventeen examples that were delivered to Hughes Ltd, Ford's then main agent in Nairobi, where Cassini & Hughes would convert them into station wagons for police use. Following its conversion, and for reasons unknown, the car returned to the UK in August 1964 being registered BLR 298B. By the late 1970s it was in a sorry state and was acquired by Bob Renshaw who restored it replacing the original 1340cc engine with a 1500cc unit. By 1992 the car was deteriorating again and was purchased by John Cantwell who set about another rebuild, changing the colour from Bronze to Spruce Green and re-registering it 2271 RU. Following its completion the car was a regular on the show circuit being featured in Popular Classics magazine before again falling into disuse. Displaying some 74,000 miles and one of just three known survivors, this rare barnfind is ripe for another restoration and comes with Swansea V5 and history information as researched by John Cantwell.

- Purchased new by Colman's Mustard of Carrow Works, Norwich - Painted Fire Engine Red by the works department and served as their Fire Tender for 18 years towing an HCB Angus pump - Sold to Colman's Doctor in 1988 who used it to visit patients in bad weather - Subsequently owned by a good friend of the Doctor and stored in a heated garage as part of his private collection - Purchased by the vendor in 2013 and treated to an extensive restoration This splendid-looking Land Rover was supplied new to Colman's Mustard by their local Mann Egerton dealer. They resprayed it from Grey to Red and it served as their fire tender and personnel carrier for 18 years - when on fire duty it towed an HCB Angus pump. It was first registered when sold to the company's doctor in 1988, who employed it to access patients in outlying areas. It then passed to a friend before the vendor acquired 'EVG 82H' in 2013. He has subsequently carried out a comprehensive restoration that included: new wings, doors, floors, sills, 12-seat Exmoor interior, headlining, Avon tyres, and lights; respray inside and out; full mechanical overhaul and engine service etc. Considered by the vendor to now be 'excellent' throughout, it is being sold complete with old log books and MOT into January. The odometer currently registers an unwarranted but credible 20,350 miles.

- Extensive restoration to a high standard in the early 1990s - Magazine featured example with rare Momo alloy wheels - Current MoT and ready to enjoy Arguably one of the best-looking Alfa Romeos ever made and a true motoring icon, the Giulia Sprint GT was launched in 1963. Penned by Bertone, it was equipped with all round coil-sprung suspension and well weighted steering. The model range was extended in 1971 to include the revised 2000 GTV. Fitted with an enlarged 1962cc 'twin-cam' engine developing some 131bhp, it inherited the longer wheelbase platform and all wheel disc brakes of its older 1750 GTV sibling. Following an extensive restoration by previous owner, Adam Andrews, to concours standards in the early 1990s, YJL 56L was featured in Classic Cars magazine's March 2000 issue. With a recorded mileage of around 49,000 when restored, the odometer was subsequently zeroed and some 7040 miles have been covered since completion. The detailed restoration work included re-trimming of the interior with black leather whilst the car rides on rare Momo alloy wheels. Following its purchase by the late owner around 2000, a further £6,000 was spent with Benalfa on mechanicals including an exchange cylinder head and block. MoT'd to January 2017 this wonderful example is ready to be enjoyed.

- A wonderfully coloured Stingray that has been in the UK since 1978 - Many rare and desirable options such as air conditioning, power steering, and a hard top - Presented with a large history file and claimed to be a matching numbers example This beautifully coloured 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible Automatic has been in the UK since 1978. The American car enthusiast vendor states that this car has been in his collection for the last five years and he claims that the 5.7 V8 engine, Targa Blue paint colour, and blue interior colours are all original to the car, and adds that there are many rare and desirable options fitted such as power steering, air conditioning, power brakes, turbo hydramatic automatic gearbox, and also a hardtop. Within the substantial history file are the original tank sticker, many expired MOT certificates, a handbook, and many maintenance and parts invoices. Originally registered when it arrived in the UK in 1978 as BRD-301T, a new owner in 1997 had the DVLA issue it with a number plate corresponding to its manufacture date rather than its import date, so it became registered as NRX-388K, as it is now. This Corvette is the last year for chrome bumpers to be fitted front and rear and as well as having a current and advisory free MOT certificate until January 20th 2017, the vendor describes the car as being in very good to excellent condition in all respects.

Finished in black with custom paintwork 'R381 WRN' arrived on these shores in 2002 in standard form. However, it was soon transformed into 'The Beast' for Powerbeck Sports Ltd, a sports Nutrition Company based in the UK, to be used for promotional purposes. With power supplied by the standard four-litre engine mated to an automatic gearbox, the conversion was carried out using a Skylifter body lift kit, which allows the use of 46" tyres, and the rear axle has been geared for the much larger wheels. In addition to the monster truck look a side exit exhaust and oil cooler are fitted and the 'Beast' is complemented with additional chrome work. The interior is in standard form, which is finished in green and tan, and this unique truck is supplied with a V5C registration document and a collection of old MOT certificates which show only 2,500 miles have been covered in the last seven years.

- 1 of just 2,387 Series 1.5 Roadsters made to left-hand drive specification - Matching chassis and engine numbers - Recent cosmetic restoration by renowned marque specialist XK Engineering including a bare metal repaint and re-trim in its original livery of Opalescent Maroon with Cinnamon Beige leather upholstery plus refurbished brightwork - Cylinder head overhauled, drivetrain gone through and understood to run superbly - UK V5C Registration Document, current MOT certificate and Heritage Certificate For many people, the E-Type remains the ultimate production Jaguar. A car whose heady blend of styling and performance were so exceptional at its 1961 Geneva Motor Show launch they continue to cast a smooth, elliptical shadow over the marque's new sports cars some 55 years later. Its Malcolm Sayer-penned lines are thought by many to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motor car. Indeed, only a few years ago the Daily Telegraph ranked the E-Type top of the '100 most beautiful cars of all time' and, of course, none other than Enzo Ferrari beat them to it by many years when he similarly described it as 'the most beautiful car ever made'. Like the XK150 before it, it was born of Jaguar's competition successes on the race tracks of Europe. Make no mistake, this was no ordinary motorcar - it was a true thoroughbred. Allied to a monocoque passenger cell, the model's tubular front sub-frame cradled a 3781cc (later 4235cc) DOHC straight-six engine, independent torsion-bar suspension and rack and pinion steering, while its back axle played host to a sophisticated coil-sprung set-up complete with inboard disc brakes. From birth, The E-Type, or XK-E as it was known in the USA, was available either as a Fixed Head Coupe or two-seat Roadster. Like the XK120, at launch the new Jaguar was the fastest production car of its era - its 3.8-litre straight-six engine allowing a 0-60mph acceleration time of a whisker over seven seconds and a top speed of circa 150mph. Despite this, the engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964 and, with the change, came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and electrical systems, and more comfortable seats. Never officially referred to as such by Jaguar, the so-called 'Series 1.5' cars appeared in late 1967. Drip fed a further host of detail improvements prior to the Series 2's official introduction the following October (including a more spacious cabin layout, redesigned convertible hood, larger capacity cooling system and boot hinge covers etc), they understandably remain particularly sought after by enthusiasts. The apparently immaculate sale car is a 1968 case in point - one of just 2,387 made to left-hand drive specification. It boasts matching chassis and engine numbers and has been the subject of a recent cosmetic restoration by renowned marque specialist XK Engineering, which included a bare metal respray and re-trim in the highly attractive original livery of Opalescent Maroon bodywork and Cinnamon Beige leather upholstery. Additional related work included: a freshening of all the brightwork; the fitting of a new Black-coloured hood; an overhaul of the cylinder head and thorough inspection of the drivetrain. The vendor informs us that this notably desirable-looking E-Type now 'runs superbly' and is offering it complete with UK V5C registration document, current MOT certificate and one from the Heritage Trust confirming its provenance.

- Nut and bolt restoration completed by Triumph specialists Northern TR Centre in 1994 - Recorded history having only 3 family private owners - Matching numbers vehicle - Rare features include aluminium bonnet, cranked gear lever, 'ultra rare' metric trim on dash and door cards, early design rear light assemblies and original tools with early jack and starting handle This early 'long door', matching numbers TR2 is finished in the rare original hue of Geranium matched to Blackberry-coloured leather interior trim and weather equipment. Of its 62-year history, it has been registered for the road for a mere 17 and has numbered just three family private owners, all known to each other and from the same community. It was the subject of a full body and mechanical nut and bolt restoration in 1994, courtesy of the renowned Triumph specialists, the Northern TR Centre. The total mileage stands at 52,655, just 360 of which have been accrued since the completion of the refurbishments. The car has nevertheless been maintained in show condition and full working order and stored in a heated garage as part of a small private vehicle collection. The emphasis of the restoration was to retain and refurbish as many of the original parts as possible, thereby maintaining the car's impressive provenance. Rare features include the alloy bonnet, cranked gear lever, 'metric' trim of the facia and door cards, early design of rear light assemblies, and the original tools with early-style jack and starting handle. The Blackberry trim is matched by Wilton quality carpets and full set of period-correct weather equipment, including tonneau and hood stick cover. The Triumph is eligible for the Historic Mille Miglia and has featured in TR books by both Bill Piggot and David Hodges. Post restoration, 'FMS 858' has won awards in regional classic events and is considered by the vendor to possess 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission, and to be at least a '95 point' car by the concours judging standards of the Triumph Register of America. Recently treated to a new battery and tyres as part of ongoing maintenance, it is being offered complete with the original buff log book, driver's handbook, photographic records of the restoration, a substantial file of invoices and represents a rare opportunity for serious Triumph collectors everywhere.
