- Family owned since 1981 - Unrestored original condition - Supplied with a file or receipts and vehicle history Following its replacement of the MGA in 1962, the MGB was steadily updated during its 18 year reign. The MKII of 1967 brought a superior manual gearbox with revised ratios and synchromesh on all gears, as well as the option of a Borg Warner automatic unit. In 1969, Rostyle wheels replaced the previous pressed steel version for standard fit. With the MKIII derivative of 1972 came a new facia and improved heater. However, by far the biggest visual change in the car's history occurred two years later, when steel reinforced rubber bumpers replaced the chrome ones and the ride height was raised by one inch, in deference to the American market where 80 percent of MG B sales were made. By the time GT production ceased in October 1980, a total of 125,282 had been produced. A tidy-looking unrestored MKIII example equipped with the desirable overdrive transmission, 'OVH 262T' is finished in the striking combination of Tahiti Blue paintwork and striped Grey cloth interior trim. It has remained within the same family since 1981 and currently displays just 59,095 miles. The vendor regards the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as 'fair' and the engine and gearbox as 'OK'.
- 1 of just 405 DBS V8s made (but only c.130 manual cars) - Current family ownership since 1988 but off the road since 2002 - Credible but unwarranted 48,000 miles showing on its 200mph speedometer The William Towns-penned DBS was intended to be a direct replacement for the ageing DB6 and slated to be V8-powered from birth. However, Tadek Marek's now much vaunted engine took longer to develop than expected, so the newcomer was unveiled in 1967 with the straight-six unit of the DB6, with what became known as the DBS V8 finally appearing in 1970. In this form, the newcomer could rush to 60mph in as little as 5.9 seconds and on to c.160mph, making it one of the fastest production cars in the world at that time. This fascinating lot represents the chance to obtain a rare, apparently low mileage Aston Martin part way through restoration. 'YCF 222' is one of just 405 5.3-litre fuel-injected DBS V8s made (only around 130 of which were similarly equipped with ZF manual five-speed transmission) and has remained within the same family since 1988. It was purchased by the vendor's father from Linden Classic Cars, Essex and the advert of the time stated that the Aston had previously been owned by a lady and had a new fuel system, but the bodywork was in need of restoration. In 1993 tenure was assumed by the vendor's brother, at which point it is imagined there was a degree of restoration and the colour was changed from Brown to Green. Ownership passed to the vendor in 1998 who is now putting the car on general sale prior to emigrating. The DBS is thought to be substantially complete but has been partially stripped and is being sold strictly as seen. The odometer currently displays an unwarranted but credible 48,061 miles and the car comes complete with: air conditioning; a 2002 invoice for £1,057.24 detailing work to the gearbox and brakes, engine service and MOT; selection of photos, plus a copy of the aforementioned advert. An unusual opportunity.
- A very original example in 'barn find' condition - 4 previous keepers and current ownership since 2004 - 101,288 recorded miles and offered with current V5C document Ford unveiled its executive-sized Granada in 1972 as a replacement for the Zephyr and Zodiac line as well as the German P7 series of cars. Good looking, solidly-built workhorses, they quickly found favour with company fleet managers and the public at large, as well as police forces and taxi companies. The MKII version of 1977 brought sharper-edged styling and a switch from UK to German-built engines for the more powerful versions. The model was available as a two-door or four-door Saloon or five-door Estate and buyers could choose from nine engine options and an array of trim packages. This 1983 MKII Saloon sports Light Blue bodywork allied to Grey cloth upholstery. A very original example in 'barn find' condition, it is fitted with the top of the range 2.8 Cologne V6 engine with rare carburation rather than fuel injection mated to automatic transmission. Showing four previous keepers on its accompanying V5C Registration Document, 'A700 VJW' has been in current ownership since 2004 and is believed to have covered 101,288 miles from new.
PLEASE NOTE: The vendor has applied for a new V5C and this will be forwarded to the successful purchaser. PLEASE NOTE: The vendor assures us that he has had the engine running recently, however we have been unable to start the vehicle due to what we believe to be an imobiliser issue. - Imported to the UK in 1970 but resident in Portugal for the last 27 years - 5.7 litre V8, Black leather upholstery, automatic transmission, power hood - In running order but would benefit from further recommissioning Launched in 1967, the first generation Firebird featured distinctive 'coke bottle' styling. Unlike its cousin, the Chevrolet Camaro which was unveiled the same year and shared the same platform, the Pontiac's bumpers were integrated into the overall design. Hard and soft-top versions were offered and the model powered by various straight-six and V8 engines. The styling updates from 1967 to 1968 were limited to the front indicators being enlarged and wrapped round onto the wings, while the Pontiac 'arrowhead' logo was added to each rear flank and the quarterlights removed. This left-hand drive 1968 Firebird is finished in White complemented by a Black power-operated hood and Black interior trim. The Pontiac has apparently been domiciled in Portugal for the last 27 years, though was UK registered by its sole UK private keeper as long ago as 1970. It is understood to be a 350 model and therefore powered by the optional 350ci (5.7-litre) V8 engine coupled to automatic transmission. 'ELH 65J' has recently come from a deceased estate and shows an unwarranted 94,872 miles to its odometer. A new V5C Registration Document has been applied for and we are informed that the Pontiac is in running order but would benefit from further recommissioning.
- 1 of 530 examples made, Nuella hide and 'whisper quiet' engine - Featured in Classic & Sports Car's Camargue 40th Anniversary Article - Reportedly 'a pleasure to drive, be in and be around' When launched in March 1975, the Camargue was the flagship of the Rolls-Royce range and the world's most expensive production car; for the price of which you could have bought five Jaguar XJ6s or 26 Minis! While sharing the platform of the Shadow and Corniche, the Camargue was the first post-war production Rolls-Royce not designed in-house, and was penned by Paolo Martin of Pininfarina. The bodies were crafted in London by Mulliner Park Ward and power was provided by a mildly uprated version of Rolls-Royce's 6.75-litre V-8 engine mated to Turbo Hydra-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission. In 1977 the steering was upgraded to Shadow II specification and in 1979 the model received the Silver Spirit rear suspension. Though a two-door model, this was a big car that stretched to nearly 17ft and weighed in at 2.3 tons. It also sported a number of innovations - it was the first Rolls-Royce designed to metric dimensions, and featured the world's first completely automatic split-level air conditioning system. Between 1975 and 1986 just 530 Rolls-Royce Camargues were produced, plus one bearing Bentley badges. This smartly-presented 1985 Camargue is finished in the stately combination of Cotswold Beige coachwork with Connolly's finest Nuella hide interior trim. Featured in Classic & Sports Car's Camargue 40th anniversary article on the model, the vendor informs us that it is 'a pleasure to drive, be in and be around', and that the interior 'is in super condition, with all instrumentation and componentry in correct working condition'. He also states 'the V8 engine is whisper-quiet and exceptionally clean - commensurate with the rest of the motorcar'. He classifies the engine, automatic transmission and interior trim as 'excellent' and the coachwork and paintwork as 'very good' and is selling 'B43 WYM' complete with 19 old MOTs from 1990 to 2015. Registering some 78,000 miles, it is also accompanied by an MoT to 26 November 2016 with no advisories.
- Finished in Aquamarine metallic with cream leather interior - 4.0 litre V8, 290 BHP mated to automatic transmission - 90,500 recorded miles and MOT'd into May 2016 Like the E-Type before it, the XK8 made its debut at the Geneva Salon - that of 1996 - and from launch was available in either Coupe or Convertible guise. At the time of the newcomer's unveiling, Jaguar Cars was owned by Ford, as was Aston Martin, and it made sound economic sense for the XK8 and similarly targeted DB7 to share the same platform; which itself was derived from that of the outgoing XJS. The biggest of many differences between new and old, was the adoption of Jaguar's second generation independent rear suspension system, previously found on the XJ40 Saloon. Prior to 2003, power for the XK8 was provided by a normally aspirated version of Jaguar's DOHC V8 AJ26. Finished in Aquamarine metallic with Ivory leather interior 'P806 KJC' is fitted with the 4.0 litre V8 engine, producing 290 BHP and mated to automatic transmission. Showing 5 previous keepers and currently displaying 90,500 miles the Jaguar is offered with a current MOT certificate into May 2016.
- Current ownership for 11 years and MoT'd into May 2016 - Rare manual with both hard and soft tops - Offered with history file containing old invoices, MoT's and tax discs This nicely-presented R107-Series 350 SL is a February 1972 example finished in an appealing shade of Pale Blue and trimmed in Black, and is notable for having manual rather than the more common automatic transmission. It has been in the current ownership for the last 11 years and the vendor informs us that the following work has been carried out in order to keep the car up to scratch: all four corners have been welded, but a camera test has shown there to be no corrosion on the bulkhead. The following have all been replaced - engine timing chain, head gaskets, valves (4), water pump, alternator, ignition switch, clutch, n/s brake calliper plus discs and pads all-round, front dampers, rear section of exhaust, battery, rear seats, all seat belts, hood windows (not currently fitted) and carpet. 'VPX 779K' was apparently displayed on the Mercedes stand at the 2012 Silverstone Classic and included in the circuit parade. It has also made several trips to France, including Le Mans. The Big Benz is now offered complete with both hard and soft-tops and a collection of old invoices, tax discs and MOTs, plus one valid to May 2nd 2016.
- Finished in Signal Orange with brown cloth trim - 77,000 miles recorded, MoT to June 2016 - Twin Weber 48 carbs, Janspeed exhaust, Spax suspension etc. Ford's long awaited 'droop snoot' RS 2000 was launched at the Earls Court show of October 1975. It was the most luxurious of the sporting Escorts of the time (the others being the Mexico and RS 1800), and was powered by an uprated version of the 2.0-litre OHC Pinto unit employed in the Capri, Cortina and Granada - a four-into-two exhaust manifold coupled to a big bore exhaust system raising its output to 110bhp. This was sufficient to help sprint the Escort to 60mph in 8.5 secs and on to a top speed of almost 110mph. The stiff, but very effective, suspension included radius arms on the rear, and the foam-filled plastic snout and flexible rear spoiler were said to give a significant reduction in drag. Finished in very 'period' Signal Orange, the vendor advises its specification includes twin Weber 48 carburettors, road rally camshaft, World Cup cross member strut brace, Janspeed exhaust, Spax adjustable suspension, sunroof and original polished alloys. Registering some 77,000 miles it is described as being in "good" condition regarding its bodywork, engine and transmission with "clean" interior. Offered with MoT to June 2016.
- 1 of 266 RHD models made, original service book and manual - Offered with extensive history file containing invoices and previous MOT's. - Replacement 1750cc engine from an early 1970's model The 'Pinin' Farina-penned Spider first broke cover at the 1961 Turin Motorshow, though production did not commence until 1966. One year later the model was immortalised by the Dustin Hoffman film 'The Graduate'. The chassis was based on that of the Giulia 105 and the Series One examples were powered by a 1570cc version of Alfa's sonorous four-cylinder twin-cam unit. In 1967, the Duetto was replaced by the 1750 (1779cc) Spider Veloce and in 1968 the largely very similar but lower-priced and lower-powered 1300 Junior was added to the increasingly popular range. 'WAN 82G' hails from 1968 and features White bodywork contrasted by Black vinyl upholstery. It is one of just 266 such models equipped with right-hand drive and is these days powered by the 1750 engine from an early 1970's Alfa. The two-seater currently displays an unwarranted 39,975 miles and is said by the vendor to be 'a nice car that drives as well as it looks', and he presently grades the bodywork, paintwork and five-speed manual transmission as '8/10'. Offered complete with history file comprising of invoices, old MOTs plus the original owners' manual and service book 'WAN 82G' will be offered with a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale.
- Offered from the estate of engineer and jazz musician Jim Shelley - Tuned Meadows 4.5 Litre six-cylinder engine, higher ratio back axle - Fabric covered 'Bugsback' coachwork fabricated using aero modeller techniques According to information kindly provided by The Lagonda Club's Hon Registrar Arnold Davey, chassis Z10462 began life as a 3 Litre model fitted with silent travel pillarless saloon coachwork. Sporting the London registration number 'ALR 149' and previously the property of a Mr McLoughlin, the car had been rebodied as an open tourer prior to its acquisition by the late Jim Shelley during 1971. A renowned jazz musician, engineer and model aeroplane builder whose friends included Len Vale-Onslow MBE, Dr Carl Chinn MBE and father and son Brian and Paul Morgan (the latter of Ilmor Engineering fame), Mr Shelley is the only keeper listed in an accompanying green logbook which was issued on 23rd July 1974 and erroneously lists the Lagonda as a M45 model complete with engine number 9573 (the Meadows 4.5 Litre straight-six that it retains to this day). Writing in the Winter 1990/91 issue of 'The Lagonda' magazine, Jim Shelley outlined the work that had gone into restoring his M45 (sic). A former Alvis 12/50 Beetleback and Bentley 3 Litre 'Red Label' Park Ward Tourer owner, he was determined to imbue chassis Z10462 with a more Vintage aesthetic. The resultant 'Bugback' coachwork was constructed using aeromodelling techniques whereby steamed plywood planks were screwed and glued on to an ash and ply frame. Notably light and stiff, the four-seater, single-door body was covered in stretch leathercloth by Ron Passam of Barton under Needwood who was also responsible for trimming the new seat frames with red Connolly hide. The engine which features a larger 'Cormorant' crankshaft and heavier conrods was thoroughly overhauled by Allards of Newcastle under Lyme before having its performance further enhanced via an oil cooler, tubular exhaust manifold and 9.2:1 compression ratio. As well as being treated to a new wiring loom, the Lagonda received attention to its water pump, magneto, petrol pump, SU carburettors and rear axle (uprated with a higher 3.5:1 ratio by Paul Morgan). Although reportedly competitive when entered for Vintage Sports Car Club events at Oulton Park, Silverstone and Curborough etc, the reconfigured 'ALR 149' was predominantly enjoyed as a road car and on various rallies. Entrusted to marque specialist John Ryder of Claverley for new track rod ends during August 2004, the 3 / 4.5 Litre remained in regular use up until Jim Shelley's death. Now offered for sale by his family, the 'Bugback' Tourer started readily upon inspection. The undoubted jewel in Mr Shelley's motorcar and motorcycle collection not to mention a fitting tribute to his lifelong desire to tinker and improve, this handsome Post Vintage Thoroughbred is offered for sale with green logbook, V5C Registration Document, Lagonda Club Magazine (No.147), sundry paperwork and a copy of Jim Shelley's The Magic of the Midlands and the Black Country - Strictly Vintage and 'In Tune'.
- 1 of c.558 'Chrom' limited editions, LHD, current owner 7 years - Synchro four-wheel drive, additional suspension travel, bullbars - Beige leather, said to be in 'very good overall' order, MOT'd till July 2016 Few, if any, cars have better defined Europe's motoring habits of the last 40 years than Volkswagen's ubiquitous Golf, now in its seventh iteration. There have inevitably been many special versions during that time, of which the Golf Country is one of the rarest. Based on the MK2 model, it was designed for light off-road driving and manufactured in concert with Steyr-Puch. Standard features included: Synchro four-wheel drive; additional suspension travel; 21cm of additional ground clearance; bullbars front and rear; underneath protection for the engine and transmission; and spare wheel mounted on a swing-away frame at the rear. A total of around 5,108 were produced in the early '90s, all in left-hand drive form, and mostly powered by VW's stalwart Golf powerplant in 1.8-litre 8-valve guise. Around 558 Country's were the de-luxe 'Chrompaket' version that featured: chromed wheels, bull bars and side steps; sliding sunroof; pre-heaters for the engine and interior; and beige leather trim. This example was purchased by the vendor in Holland seven years ago following a long search, and is thought to be one of only two in the UK. Said to be in 'very good overall condition', it has covered some 197,000km and comes complete with MOT until July 2016.
- Subject to a recent repaint and current ownership since 2009 - Offered with original hand books, service book, invoices and hard top - 90,800 recorded miles and MOT'd into July 2016 Featuring Bosch KE Jetronic fuel injection, ABS brakes, sundry galvanised panels and recalibrated suspension etc, the 1986-onwards R107-series cars are particularly sought after by enthusiasts. Flagship of the European model range, the 500SL was powered by a 4973cc SOHC V8 engine rated at 240bhp and 296lbft of torque. Equipped with four-speed automatic transmission as standard, it was reputedly capable of 134mph. First registered on August 1st 1986, 'D376 LUD' is finished in the pleasing combination of Silver with Blue leather upholstery and has recently been repainted in its original colour with photographic evidence included in the sale. Having covered an indicated 90,700 miles the Benz has been in current ownership since 2009. The vendor tells us that although its V5C Registration Document lists seven previous keepers three of them were from the same family as shown by an accompanying DVLA printout. Offered with well-stamped service book, original hand books, servicing schedule list and collection of old MOT's / invoices, the 500SL also boasts a hardtop, spare key and current MOT certificate valid into July 2016.
- Desirable 'wide body' model, 2.8 litre engine with 5 speed manual transmission - 3 previous keepers, 76,700 recorded miles and original book pack - Extensive service history and MOT'd into March 2016 'S102 BEJ' is a rare wide-bodied example of the popular Z3 sports model manufactured by BMW from 1995 to 2002. It is a 1998 build car powered by the company's silky-smooth 2.8-litre straight-six engine and drives through a five-speed manual gearbox. The car is finished in Dark Metallic Blue that's complemented by Cream-coloured leather interior trim. The vendor informs us that the electrically-operated hood is so watertight that it didn't even leak when his wife submitted it to a car wash, and that the air conditioning system is 'fully operational and effective'. He tells us that the battery and Continental tyres are 'excellent', that the space saver spare 'has never been used' and that the toolkit is 'original and complete'. He finds the engine 'smooth and powerful' and sums up by saying 'the Z goes extremely well, is a pleasure to drive, and returns 33mpg on a run'. He currently grades the bodywork, interior trim, engine and transmission as 'excellent' and the paintwork as 'very good', and is offering the three-owner 76,700-mile BMW complete with Alpine sound system and CD multi-changer, fully stamped service book, selection of invoices and an MOT valid to March 18th 2016.
PLEASE NOTE: The date of manufacture of this vehicle is 1967 not 1964 as per the catalogue description. - Benefiting form an extensive two-year restoration - Started life as a GT but now has a soft-top and twin choke Weber carburettor - 47,000 recorded miles and offered with an MOT into June 2016 Introduced in 1959, the Ken Howes/Jeff Crompton-penned Sunbeam Alpine was developed through five Series over its 10 year production run, the model's popularity resulting in some 69,251 examples being built. The final iteration Series V featured a new five-bearing 1725cc engine. Recently benefitting from an extensive two year restoration, we are advised this delightful matching numbers Alpine started life as a GT but now has a soft top fitted. The works included the fitment of a twin choke Weber carburettor in place of the original Stromberg units, rechroming of the brightwork, new black interior, new hood and respray. The vendor now rates the bodywork as "excellent", the paintwork as "perfect", the engine and interior as "excellent" and transmission as "very good". Powered by the 1725cc unit with servo brakes we understand the car will be offered with a document from the owner's club confirming it as a 1725 cc car as the V5 incorrectly states 1592 cc. Offered with Swansea V5 document and MoT to June 2016, the odometer currently displays an unwarranted c.47,000 miles. Simple and rugged, with a thriving club scene, the Alpine is a true classic.
PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle has a new MOT - Imported from the US in 2011 and one of the rare limited edition Chalon models - Wide wheel arches, Fuchs wheels and subject to past restoration work - 41,000 recorded miles and offered with a fresh MOT By the late 1960s, Porsche was looking for a replacement for its 912, while Volkswagen needed a substitute for the Karmann Ghia. The collaborative solution was the 914/4 and 914/6 born in 1969. Both versions carried the Porsche badge in the USA, but the 914/6 was discontinued in 1972. The gap in the line-up was then filled by a second Volkswagen-engined model powered by a 95bhp 2.0-litre version of the company's fuel-injected Type 4 unit. 914/4 production ceased in 1976 after in excess of 115,646 examples had been made, making it Porsche's best-selling model by that time. This left-hand drive example was imported from the US in 2011 and is one of the rare limited edition Chalon models complete with: Fuchs wheels, wide wheel arches; uprated five-stud running gear, braking system and exhaust; and pair of twin-choke carburetors. 'SVR 437H' is presented in Black inside and out and currently exhibits an unwarranted 41,000 miles. The vendor informs us that the Porsche was restored in 2010, the electrics have been overhauled and the 914 boasts many new parts. He now classes the bodywork and interior trim as 'excellent', the 2-litre engine and paintwork as 'very good' and the five-speed manual gearbox as 'good'.
- Believed to have spent most of its life in South Africa - Engine overhauled in 2014 - Offered with Heritage Certificate, invoices, old MOTs, etc. Introduced at the October 1955 Earl's Court Motor Show, the MKI 2.4 litre was intended to broaden Jaguar's appeal beyond the volatile luxury and sportscar sectors. Notable as the Coventry manufacturer's first monocoque design, it featured independent front suspension, a 'live' rear axle and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes (though, discs soon became optional). Powered by a 2483cc DOHC straight-six engine allied to either four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, the compact sports saloon boasted class-leading 100mph performance. Remaining in production until 1959, some 19,992 MKI 2.4s are thought to have left the Browns Lane factory. The right-hand drive sale car vacated Jaguar's Browns Lane plant in 1959 and is thought to have spent its early life in South Africa, finally returning to these shores in 1990. The engine and carburettors were overhauled in 2014 and the vendor now classes the bodywork as 'excellent'; the six-cylinder engine, Ivory-coloured paintwork and Burgundy leather interior trim as 'very good'; and the four-speed manual transmission as 'good'; and says 'TAS 905' 'runs and drives very well'. The car's odometer currently registers an unwarranted 32,200 miles and the Jaguar is being sold complete with a history file containing various items of paperwork and old MOTs etc.
- 3 previous keepers and current ownership since 1996 - 69,000 miles with documented speedo change at 51,000 miles - Offered with service history and MOT'd into May 2016 Launched in 1975, Jaguar's XJ-S was never envisaged as a direct replacement for the E-Type. More of a soporific grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, it was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood (complete with heated glass rear window). Underpinned by the same all round independent coil-sprung suspension and power assisted rack and pinion steering as its fixed head coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form. Finished in the desirable colour combination of Grey bodywork with Grey leather upholstery, this particular example reportedly underwent a documented speedo change at 51,000 miles and now shows 18,000 miles on the replacement instrument (giving a total of 69,000). Understood to have had three previous keepers prior to entering the current ownership in 1996, 'H2 BNC' is powered by Jaguar's renowned 5.3 litre V12 engine allied to automatic transmission and offered for sale with service history, MOT certificate valid into May 2016 and original handbooks. Good, unmolested XJ-Ss are now keenly sought and increasing in value.
- 1 of just 2,215 left-hand drive US models made - Offered with both hard- and soft-top roofs - Current ownership since 2003 and MOT'd into September 2016 The Spider first broke cover at the 1961 Turin Salon, though production did not commence until 1966. The pretty two-seater, then known as the 'Duetto', is said to have been the last project with which 'Pinin' Farina was personally associated. Just one year later the model was immortalised by the Dustin Hoffman film 'The Graduate'. The chassis was based on that of the Giulia 105 and initial examples were powered by a 1570cc version of Alfa's sonorous four-cylinder twin-cam unit. In 1967, the Duetto was replaced by the 1750 (1779cc) Spider Veloce. Though the new version's looks were relatively unchanged, useful upgrades were made to the suspension, brakes, electrics, wheels and tyres. 1 of just 2,215 left-hand drive 1750 Spider Veloces supplied new to the USA, this particular example has been resident in the UK since 1990. Originally fitted with Spica fuel injection, its four-cylinder engine is now fed by twin dual-choke carburettors. As a US-spec car, 'MVU 981G' has never had headlamp covers and still sports side indicator repeaters. Entering the current ownership in 2003, the Alfa is offered for sale with hard- / soft-top roofs, V5C Registration Document and MOT certificate valid until September 2016.
- The ex-Spectre Supersport demonstrator and last of 23 examples built - Three former keepers and 22,000 miles from new, MOT'd till Nov 2016 - Quoted 175mph top speed, 4.6 litre V8 (350bhp/335lbft) and 5-speed transaxle A very decent junior supercar, then? Indeed, but also one that fulfilled its creators' self-imposed brief, to be a supercar that was easy for a novice to drive, docile around town and, as Spectre's brochures suggested, 'a super sportscar that is no more expensive to maintain than a family saloon'. - Alastair Clements, Classic & Sportscar (May 2009) Conceived by Ray Christopher of GT Developments as a roadgoing GT40 for the 1990s, the R42 was based around a Group C-style honeycomb-reinforced folded aluminium sheet monocoque equipped with all-round independent suspension, four-wheel vented disc brakes and power assisted rack and pinion steering. Originally developed for Ford and Audi respectively, its 4603cc all-alloy 350bhp/335lbft V8 engine was allied to a five-speed Getrag transaxle. The GRP-bodied design was put into production by Anders Hildebrand of Spectre Supersport Ltd who got Stockholm University to hone its 0.28 drag coefficient and multiple Le Mans-winner Derek Bell to come on board as chairman and development consultant before securing the mid-engined, 175mph two-seater a starring role in the 1997 film RPM alongside David Arquette, Famke Janssen and Jerry Hall. Priced at a loss making £74,950 due to the 2,000 hours that each one took to complete, R42 production was strictly limited. A former Spectre Supersport Ltd demonstrator and the last of just 23 examples made, 'S759 KLJ' is further notable for being the very machine that Classic & Sportscar profiled. Having used the R42 to break the ice with petrolhead clients, the vendor describes it as 'a quick, well-appointed car with no known faults that is a joy to drive and easy to own'. Maintained during his tenure by ZUL Racing of Derby, recent work has seen the Spectre treated to a new battery, rear tyres, air-con pump overhaul and replacement fuel tank. A real rarity that has covered just 22,000 miles from new, 'S759 KLJ' is offered for sale with its Spectre company mileage logbook, CD stereo, sat-nav, manual and fresh MOT certificate.
- One lady owner from new, 72,300 recorded miles - Carefully restored seven years ago but original interior kept - Offered with restoration photographs The Lancia Fulvia Saloon made its debut at the 1963 Geneva Salon. The newcomer featured a narrow angle DOHC V4 engine mounted ahead of and driving the front wheels. Front suspension was independent by wishbones and a single leaf spring, while a solid axle with Panhard rod and leaf springs was employed at the rear. Braking was by discs all-round. The two-door Coupe derivative was introduced at the 1965 Turin Salon, the wheelbase of which was 5.9in shorter than the Saloon's. Countless race and rally victories were accrued by these feisty little cars, not least victory in the 1972 FIA Manufacturers Championship. All versions of the Fulvia were facelifted in 1969. These Series II cars had superior disc brakes, five-speed gearboxes, a diaphragm clutch, stiffer springing and an alternator. This decidedly attractive 1.3-litre Series II Fulvia is a genuine one lady owner example that's finished in Light Metallic Blue matched to Black upholstery. It was sympathetically restored some seven years ago and is still regarded by the vendor as being in 'good' overall condition. Showing 72,300 miles to its odometer, this charming Coupe is offered for sale with a photographic record of the restoration and MOT certificate valid until November 2016.
- Illustrious racing history with the VSCC, VMCC and Morgan Three-Wheeler Club - Recently emerged from an extensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration - Nicknamed 'The Atomic Orange', c.70bhp but remains road usable By 1933 Morgan's three-wheeler chassis could be ordered with four types of body, namely: Super Sports, Sports Two-Seater, Sports Family and Family. The Super Sports was notable for its chromium-plated exhaust pipes that run the length of the body. Interest in Morgans of this period has never waned and, if anything, increased in recent times - the company's inspired decision to create a modern three-wheeler having brought the early cars to the attention of a new audience. The road-going Morgan Super Sports on offer is very well known within the VSCC, VMC and Morgan Thee-Wheeler (M3W) clubs, having an illustrious racing history comprising many race and two Morgan championship victories. Generally referred to as the 'Atomic Orange' (on account of its colour and performance), Chassis D743 was apparently manufactured in 1933 yet not road registered as 'TJ 9536' until March 29th 1935. It has recently been treated to a comprehensive restoration during which the 1220cc JAP V-twin engine and three-speed manual gearbox were overhauled by a recognised specialist, the two-seater body was repainted, and a new leather interior installed. The vendor informs us that with around 70bhp on tap in what is a very light car, the Morgan 'remains highly competitive in historic racing yet is still practical with battery, lighting, self-starter and reverse gear for road use'. He says it is 'a head turner on the road and in the paddock and has featured in many magazines and shows'. He currently classes the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as 'excellent' and the engine and transmission as 'very good' and is now offering the Super Sports complete with: a copy of the Lancashire County Council registration; VSCC and M3W eligibility certificates; current V5C; and a selection of spare parts including a pair of racing wheels and tyres and a set of tuned exhaust pipes.
- Reputedly ex-armed forces and registered for civilian use in 1964 - Previous long-term ownership and offered with Cream hardtop - Offered with an MOT certificate into April 2016 It is ironic that today's Defender is immediately recognisable as a direct descendent of the Land Rover launched in 1948, as production was only intended to run for two to three years. Instead, it has been the workhorse of the world for 68. This late Series I Landy is believed to have been part of the armed forces fleet until registered for civilian use in 1964. Its last keeper retained it as a 'sunny summer day toy' for almost 30 years, during which time it covered just 3,000 miles or so, was always garaged, had its chassis and underside oil sprayed on an annual basis, and its engine oil and filter changed equally frequently. There has been a change of odometer in the last four years, but the total accumulated mileage is thought to still be as low 83,535. Of this very tidy-looking example the vendor says: 'it always starts first time'; has 'good' bodywork; and 'average' Green paintwork, Green seating, 2-litre engine and overdrive transmission. It has recently benefited from four new tyres and is now offered complete with both a tilt and Cream hard top, Warn MX 8000 winch equipped with pug-in wander lead, and an MOT to April 27, 2016.
- Offered with extensive history file of old MOT's and invoices - 84,000 recorded miles and MOT'd into April 2016 - Recently serviced and offered with hardtop The Stag was styled by Italian maestro Giovanni Michelotti and featured independent suspension, disc/drum brakes and power-assisted rack and pinion steering plus an all-new OHC V8 of 3-litre capacity. 'SJD 800R' was manufactured in 1977 and an accompanying list of expenditure right through to the present day confirms it has received suitably regular attention. The engine was apparently overhauled in 2003/2004 and the Triumph sports a wooden dashboard, stainless steel exhaust system and both soft- and hardtop roofs. Over £3,000 has been invested in the car during the last year alone with work including a thorough service: cylinder block / radiator flushed, fresh coolant, gearbox oil renewed and engine oil / filter changed etc not to mention the installation of an oil cooler and re-plumped seats courtesy of new foam. The Stag features gleaming Inca Yellow bodywork teamed with Black interior trim, and is currently viewed by the vendor as having 'very good-excellent' bodywork and 'very good' paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine, automatic transmission and soft- / hardtop roofs (the latter costing nearly £2,000). This handsome Stag comes complete with extensive history file of invoices and old MOTs, plus one valid to April 15th 2016.
- 4.5-litre V8 turbo, 450bhp and riding on new 22-inch alloy wheels - Offered with invoices totalling in excess of £9,000 - Described as 'excellent' with regard to its bodywork, paintwork and engine The Cayenne was greeted with mixed feelings at its launch in 2002. It signified a major departure for the German manufacturer and dyed in the wool 911 enthusiasts were sceptical about the move. However, time has shown it to be both a fine vehicle and the most profitable in Porsche's history. The range initially comprised two models - the Cayenne S and Cayenne Turbo, both of which were powered by a new 4.5-litre V8 engine of 340bhp and 450bhp respectively. One of the latter, 'RY03 LWE' was first registered in 2003 and sports Metallic Black paintwork teamed with Black leather interior trim. Having lived in Leamington and Liverpool among other locations, the Turbo recently returned from a two-year sojourn in the Republic of Ireland. It currently rides on new 22-inch alloy wheels and tyres and is considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork and turbo V8 engine. He additionally informs us that the Cayenne has a 'very good' service history, with a large collection of invoices and receipts confirming that in excess of £9,000 has been invested with Porsche main dealers and marque specialists over the years. A lot of car for the money in today's market.
PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is powered by a straight-six engine and not a V8 as initially catalogued. PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle was imported from North Carolina and not Oregon as stated in the catalogue. - LHD Custom Cab Ranger, LSD and Rangoon Red interior with bucket seats - 240ci (3.9 litre) straight-six, 3-speed automatic, highly original - Original invoice, spec sheet and operator's manual, MOT'd till March 2016 Ford's ubiquitous F-Series pickup trucks are as entwined with American culture as a Big Mac and fries. Now in their thirteenth generation, they have been in constant production for sixty-seven years. 1965 was the first time the Ranger name was applied to a pickup. Previously a base moniker for the Edsel, it was now used to denote a high-level styling package for the F-100 range. Supplied new in Florida, this great-looking left-hand drive, custom cab Ranger features eye-catching Red bodywork and Rangoon Red bucket seats (optional equipment shared with that year's Mustang). Understood to be completely original, the F-100 featured in the Ford-licensed 2005 Classic Ford Pick-Up Calendar as February (a copy of which is included in the sale). The truck is powered by a 3.9-litre (240ci) straight-six engine allied to three-speed Cruise-O-Matic transmission and a limited slip differential. The vendor currently grades the bodywork, interior trim and engine as 'very good' and the paintwork and transmission as 'good', and is now offering the Ranger complete with original sales invoice ($2714.69); original specification sheet; operators' manual, and all the old MOT certificates since the vehicle was imported from Oregon in 2008, plus one valid to March 24th 2016. PLEASE NOTE: This lot is powered by a straight-six engine and not a V8 as initially catalogued.
- Offered with original Book Pack, Service Manual and hard top - Current MOT certificate into July 2016 with no advisories - Engine, paintwork and interior rated as 'Excellent' The third generation SL (R107) was launched in 1971, initially with just a 3.5-litre engine (350SL) mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The car featured a two-door monocoque bodyshell with independent suspension and disc brakes all-round. Over its phenomenal 18-year reign, the R107 range was powered by eight different engines - two sizes of straight-six and six versions of Mercedes-Benz's silky smooth V8. The V8-powered 560SL was manufactured from 1986 to 1989 and only offered in the US, Japanese and Australian markets. With 227bhp on tap it was a genuine 130mph car, with ample reserves of effortless acceleration. The lefthand drive example on offer sports Black bodywork complemented by Mushroom-coloured interior trim. The vendor considers its bodywork, paintwork, interior, engine and automatic transmission to all be in `excellent' order and is selling the big Benz complete with import paperwork after arriving on these shores in May of this year, history file and its original owners' book pack plus service manual, and an advisory-free MOT valid into July 2016.
- South African supplied from new and previously restored - 59,900 recorded miles and current V5C document - Offered with an MOT certificate into September 2016 The Land Cruiser is Toyota's longest-running model and dates back to 1951. In much the same way that today's luxurious Range Rovers bear little resemblance to the original no-nonsense, go-anywhere Land Rover, the latest Land Cruisers, though competent off-road vehicles, are a breed apart from their more Jeep-like ancestors. The J40 series vehicles were manufactured from 1960 to 1984, of which the FJ45 was a rugged versatile variant offered in three guises - four-door Wagon and short or long wheelbase Pickup. They are certainly rare on these shores, which should make this extremely smart right-hand drive Pickup of particular interest. It is a manual truck from the last year of manufacture, powered by a straight-six 4.2-litre petrol engine. 'A951 TAG' started life in South Africa, where it was restored in 2011 before coming to the UK. It is finished in sparkling Alpine White and trimmed in Black leatherette, and the specification includes a roll cage and massive front bull bar. The vehicle is fully UK registered with an MOT into September 2016 and is regarded by the vendor as having 'excellent' engine and four-speed manual transmission, 'very good' bodywork, electrical system and interior trim, and 'good' paintwork. The mileage currently stands at an unwarranted 59,803.
- Believed to be one of just eleven with this Curvilinear body style - Copies of registration books back to 1937 - Current owner since September 1974 H&H are delighted to be able to offer this beautifully bodied Derby Bentley by the desirable coachbuilder Gurney Nutting, which we believe to be one of only eleven such cars to wear this "Curvilinear" body style. We are fortunate to have copies of registration books in the history file covering the years 1937 to 1973 which detail the majority of the ownership history of chassis B-25-HM. The Bentley's guarantee is believed to have been issued to a Mr Neil Cleaver on February 17th 1937 and the registration books show that it was first registered for road use in England on February 18th 1937, with the registration number 'DXA 624'. The books also show that the Bentley still enjoys being powered by its original engine, number J8BA. In May 1937 a Gordon Graham Wood of Weybridge in Surrey is reported to have owned the car, and in July 1937 custodianship passed to Drevor Frederick Acton Neilson of Queen Anne Street in London's Marylebone, W1. It is thought that Mr Neilson was a distinguished Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist, hence his proximity to London's famously medical Harley Street, in Marylebone. In what is believed to have been December 1939, possession transferred to someone in Harley Street, London, W1, who seven years later reallocated ownership to a company in George Street, Marylebone. September 1951 saw tenure pass to a Warwick Waghorn Sayers of Woodland Drive in Hove, East Sussex, who retained the Bentley for the next twenty-two years. Interestingly, the day before Mr Waghorn is recorded as becoming the registered keeper of the car, the stated body colour in the registration book was changed from black to blue. A couple of months later in December, he changed the registration number from 'DXA 624' to 'GAP 959', the plate it still wears today. In October 1973 ownership passed to a Richard Howard Shaw of Priory Terrace in West Hampstead, London NW6, but in September 1974 Mr Shaw exchanged the car with our vendor for a Lancia Flaminia Sport Zagato. The car has lead a sheltered and leisurely existence during our vendor's forty-one years of ownership. The car was exercised on an occasional basis during the 1980's, but for the majority of the 1990's it remained in the vendor's car showroom. In 2003 the vendor decided to recommission the car and invoices on file total nearly £12,000 for the works. However, the car's driving was to remain limited, but it should be noted that throughout the last 41 years, the car has been kept in near perfect storage conditions in a well ventilated car showroom. This Bentley is not only special for its beautiful body, but for the very original condition of both its body and interior. This car has remained pretty much untouched since its last repaint, which is believed to have been done in 1951. Those scratches in the paintwork and splits in the leather seats all have a story to tell and ooze character, and if ever it is fully restored, the car will never be as rare and special as it will loose its originality. In recent years the demand for perfect restorations has reduced as people realise that a car is only original once, and once restored, it has lost some charm and character that it will never have again. Many of the finest concours events around the world now have Preservation Class sections, where unrestored or very original cars compete for awards. The importance of this car's current condition has been reflected in recent years by its display at several of the world's finest concours events in Preservation Class sections, such as The Louis Vuitton Classic at Saint-Cloud in Paris, The Hurlingham Club in London, and more recently the Chantilly Arts and Elegance Concours in September 2015. Recent work in preparation for the Chantilly Concours included a full service (spark plugs, points, etc) and the fitting of a new fuel pump. The vendor describes the car as being 'very original' and in 'generally good order' with 'obvious signs of age', adding that the doors open and close easily and the engine 'runs well'. This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire an incredibly beautiful and original motor car from extremely long term ownership.
- Formerly UK registered but little used in recent years - Described as being in 'good' condition and said to drive 'very well' - Offered with certificate of export and handbook The Morris Minor is almost as universal a symbol of England as the London bus and the red telephone box and, with over 1.3 million manufactured in its 23-year reign, is one of the most successful cars of all time. Designed by Alec Issigonis (who later penned the ubiquitous Mini), the Minor was unveiled at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show and 13 years later became the first British car to achieve a million sales. The final iteration followed a year later and featured an increase in engine capacity to 1098cc, a modified facia layout with recessed centre section in textured steel, a return of a glovebox lid for the passenger-side cubby hole, improved heater and more contemporary-looking front light units. The four-door sale car is one of the last of the breed. Finished in Light Blue matched to Grey interior trim it has most recently lived in Eire, where it has seen little use. Nevertheless, the vendor informs us that it needs little more than some adjustment to the brakes and clutch and is primarily 'in good condition and drives very well'. Formerly UK registered as 'MSX 2787H', the Morris is now offered complete with certificate of export and drivers' handbook.
- The third of just twenty-six S1s bodied to design no. B10 - Engine fettled by marque specialist Gary Bretherton for previous keeper - Old MOTs on file date back to 1983, numerous restoration invoices According to Davide Bassoli's authoritative book 'Every Cloud has a Silver Lining', chassis B470AN was the third of just twenty-six S1s that James Young clothed to design number B10. Supplied new via Jack Barclay Ltd (the then owner of James Young) and road registered as `199 FPF' by Surrey County Council on July 1st 1956, the aluminium-bodied four-seater later belonged to Charles Fradley Esq. of Warmingham. Purchased from the latter by Roger Wilson Esq. of nearby Wistaston in August 1989 for the princely sum of £14,000, the Bentley was subsequently treated to an extensive restoration. Having spent approximately £30,000 on the project including sourcing numerous parts from the likes of Healey Bros, Introcar, Ron Stratton & Co, Jack Barclay Ltd, Rollaben (SES) Ltd not to mention having work done by David Felton, S.C. Gordon Ltd, S. Brunt (Silverdale Staffs) Ltd and Derby Plating etc, Mr Wilson lost patience and sold the S1 to its previous keeper during August 2005. In need of an interior refurbishment but otherwise pretty much complete, chassis B470AN was entrusted to Cartlidge Coach Trimming and Upholstery (£5,799) and Chapman & Cliff Veneering and Polishing (£850). As well as fitting the Saloon with power steering, electronic ignition and five new radial tyres, marque specialist Gary Bretherton also treated its original 4.9 litre straight-six engine to an overhaul (new inlet valves / guides, replacement piston rings and reground exhaust valves etc). An unwanted gift purchased at our recent Duxford auction, the car is understood to be in 'good overall' condition with regard to its engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. This rare James Young coachbuilt S1 is offered for sale with tool kit, copy chassis cards, sundry restoration invoices and assorted MOTs dating back to September 1983 (which document an increase in mileage from 40,433 to c.44,000).
- Reportedly one of only 27 right hand drive cars made - Previous owner since 1994 - Seventeen year restoration completed in 2012 It is believed that Carrozzeria Vignale of Turin, Italy, manufactured only 100 Samantha Coupes, of which just 27 were to right-hand drive specification. 27 is a high number considering the total production, but that is apparently down to a large order being placed by a Cypriot casino owner, Cyprus being a right-hand drive market. That makes this example an extremely rare car, one which is described by the vendor as having "excellent" bodywork and paintwork. Reportedly acquired by the previous owner in 1994, he soon commenced a restoration that would not be completed until 2012. We are informed that towards the end of the renovation, the then owner decided that what was believed to be the original 1600 engine required rejuvenating, and he fitted a 2000 engine in order to keep the car mobile. The larger engine is still under the bonnet as the owner enjoyed its extra power, and the 1600 engine is sold with the car. This very rare car's restoration quality was complimented by it apparently being runner-up in the 2012 Classic Car of the Year Awards at the NEC Classic Car Show.
