- An older restoration which still presents very well - Early pull handle example and current ownership since 1989 - Recent service and mechanical fettling totalling £907.45 Initially, the B was only available in Roadster form - the hatchback GT derivative not being offered until 1965. Suspension was by wishbones and coil springs at the front and a live axle mounted on leaf springs at the rear. Damping was by lever arm units all round. Braking was by discs at the front and drums at the rear. At launch, the model was powered by a three-bearing version of the 1798cc B-Series engine that produced 95bhp at 5,400rpm. However, with an eye on superior reliability, this unit was replaced by a five-bearing one two years into production. An older restoration which still presents very well, this early 'pull handle' example with three-bearing crank has been in the current ownership since 1989. Bought as an unfinished restoration project by the vendor the body was then painted in two pac and the engine and gearbox were overhauled. After being in long term dry storage the MG has recently been recommissioned at the cost of £907.45. This has included attention being paid to the brakes, clutch, carburettors and new batteries being fitted. Showing as having seven previous keepers and displaying 62,500 miles, '802 JWA' is offered with a MOT certificate into September 2016.

- Desirable 'Big Valve' engine, V5C shows two former keepers - Recently recommissioned (water pump, brake callipers, donuts etc) - Believed genuine 55,000 miles, Oatmeal trim, MOT'd till July 2016 Lotus first applied the Elan name to its small two-seater Roadster of 1962. It comprised a steel backbone chassis clothed in a lightweight fiberglass body. Power came from a 1558cc Cosworth twin-cam version of Ford's ubiquitous 'Kent' engine. With independent suspension all-round and four-wheel disc brakes, the Elan was both light and nimble. It was, however, rather lacking in space and in June 1967 Lotus introduced the Elan +2 Coupe for those that needed more accommodation. Based on a suitably lengthened/widened version of its smaller sibling's chassis, the newcomer enjoyed both better aerodynamics and superior grip (thanks to a 0.30 drag co-efficient and six-inch wider track/fatter tyres). And, as the name suggests, it offered two extra seats - in the company's own words, "The +2 is designed to carry two adults and two children on a long holiday in comfort." The +2S 130/4 version went on sale in February 1971, bringing with it a welcome a welcome boost in performance. Powered by a 'Big Valve' version of the same twin-cam engine, the +2 was now capable of 121mph and 0-60mph in a spirited 7.4 seconds. This right-hand drive +2S 130/4 vacated the Hethel factory in 1973 and is finished in the tasteful combination of Silver over Deep Red. The vendor informs us that it has had just three keepers to date, including himself, and that the condition of the original interior trim is commensurate with the odometer's low indicated mileage of just 54,800 over 43 years. Recent recommissioning that followed a period of storage included replacement brake callipers and drive shaft doughnuts. The vendor advises that the Lotus currently 'runs and drives very well' and that he considers the bodywork, paintwork, Oatmeal-coloured interior trim, 'Big Valve' engine and four-speed manual gearbox to all be in 'good' order.
- 1 of just 943 RHD examples made and supplied new to Australia - Restored to concours standard in Sydney during 2007 - Matching numbers car, original colours and recently repatriated Famously launched at the 1961 Geneva Salon, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore. With its stunning looks, outrageous performance and low price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. While, early competition success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement its reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension (torsion-bar front / coil-sprung rear) rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent road holding and handling capabilities. Fed by triple SU HD8 carburettors and topped with a 'straight port' DOHC cylinder head, its 3781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and 260lbft. Allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox, the free-revving unit reputedly enabled the E-type to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 150mph. Seemingly borrowed from a light aircraft, the wonderful turned aluminium centre console that adorned its dashboard was complemented by scalloped 'Dunlopillo' seats and a wood-rim steering wheel. Achingly beautiful yet viciously quick, the E-type remains for many the ultimate production Jaguar. Responding to popular demand, the Coventry marque had footwell recesses pressed into the model's previously 'flat-floor' platform so that it could accommodate taller drivers / passengers; a change that occurred on right-hand drive Roadsters from chassis 850358 onwards. We are very grateful to the vendor for supplying the following description: 'Dispatched from the factory on 21st February 1962, chassis number 850375 was the ninth earliest Right Hand Drive roadster to be delivered to Australia. It was freighted to the Australian Distributor, Bryson Industries in the State of Victoria, and from their custody it was sold new, first registered on 10th April 1962. With all matching numbers, the vehicle was restored in Sydney during 2007 to Concours standards and still presents in excellent condition and drives superbly. The vendor adds the following important points; fully matching numbers car, early aluminium dashboard, 4 speed Moss gearbox, original Carmen Red with Biscuit leather trim, extensive history file, Jaguar Heritage certificate'.
- Subject to an extensive restoration and retrimmed interior - Dry state California import, newly registered and ready to enjoy - Offered with new hood and side screens plus photographs of the restoration Though visually similar to earlier T Types, the TD was based on the Y-Type Saloon chassis. The improvements included: coil spring front suspension, rack and pinion steering, smaller 15-inch disc-type wheels, hypoid bevel axle, and twin leading shoe front brakes. This left-hand drive export model appears, like so many TDs, to have started life in the USA and was repatriated from the dry state of California in 2014. Reputedly a low ownership vehicle whilst Stateside, the MG has undergone an extensive 'chassis up' restoration since its return to these shores. Attractively finished in Black with Red upholstery, we are informed that many of the parts used during its renovation were sourced via the Octagon Club spares network. Sporting a new hood, hood frame and sidescreens, 'WXG 361' is further understood to have performed well during a recent engine compression test and to have simultaneously benefited from an oil and filter change plus timing / carburettor fettling. Offered with current V5C and photographs of the restoration, this charming MG is reportedly 'on the button and ready to be enjoyed'.
- Original registration number and a credible but unwarranted 38,500 miles - Rare 'Deluxe' version with reclining front seats and floor change gearbox - History file including original logbook and 'no advisories' MOT Vauxhall's Victor was developed through five iterations from 1957 to 1978. While the F Series unashamedly echoed GM's American styling of the period, the ensuing FB Series of 1961 had much cleaner, more European lines. With it came corrosion protection, a higher compression engine delivering 49.5bhp, and the option of a four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox with floor change. The FB reigned until 1964, by which time 328,640 examples had been produced. The smartly-presented sale car is a 1962 Deluxe FB Saloon finished in the pleasing combination of Honey Gold over Polar White. Its impressive specification includes a heater, individual reclining front seats, and the aforementioned transmission. Though unwarranted, the indicated mileage is a very credible 38,449. The vendor informs us that 'the overall structure of the car is in excellent order; the vehicle drives effortlessly; the engine, drive train and running gear have been maintained to a very high standard; the brightwork is in super, original condition; and the beige interior has the most wonderful patina'. A full service has recently been carried out and the Vauxhall is being offered complete with original logbook, old MOTs, and receipts for work carried out. A true, time-warp British classic.
- Described as being in 'good to very good overall' condition - Said to start and drive 'very well' - Offered with handbook, workshop manual and old MOT certificates It is understood that the Super Minx launched in 1961 was initially intended to replace the Series III versions of the standard Minx, but was ultimately sold as a more up-market model alongside the so-called Audax cars. The Saloon variant reigned for seven years and through four different marks, the first three of which were powered by a 1592cc engine and the last by a 1725cc unit. Aimed at the top end of the family car market, the Super Minx was more spacious than the ordinary Minx and featured somewhat more elaborate trim. A 1962 example tested by Motor returned a top speed of 80mph and a 0-60mph time of 21.6 seconds. The MKII manual transmission Super Minx being offered is from the same year and sports White over Brown bodywork matched to Brown and Cream interior trim. The vendor regards the bodywork, interior, four-cylinder engine and four-speed gearbox as all being in 'very good' order and the two-tone paintwork as 'good'. He informs us that 'ZV 36733' 'starts and drives very well and that everything works as it should'. The Hillman is being sold complete with owners' handbook, workshop manual and a number of old test certificates.
- 1 of just 1,137 RHD (DC72) examples made, Getrag 'dog leg' gearbox, LSD - Recently MOT'd following prolonged storage and rated as 'a wonderful driver's car' - Would benefit from further recommissioning, Alpina badging / alloys The distinctive-looking M535i was introduced at the 1984 Paris Salon and based on BMW's mechanically identical E28-series 535i, but set apart by its M-Technic aero package. This comprised: deep front air dam; side valance; rear diffuser and spoiler; wheel arch extensions; and body-coloured bumpers. Inside there was an M-badged steering wheel and M-badged sports seats, just to remind you that you were driving something a little special. Some examples were also equipped with such desirable additions as the M-Technic chassis package (firmer Bilstein dampers, shorter springs and stiffer anti-roll bars); close-ratio Getrag gearbox with dog-leg change; and limited slip differential. Power came from the proven M30 3430cc straight-six in 218bhp/224lbft tune. When fully equipped, an M535i provided much of the fun of an M5 for a fraction of the price. 'B293 YYT' is such an example that sports Diamond Black bodywork, Grey cloth upholstery and Alpina wheels/badges. 1 of just 1,137 RHD (DC72) cars made, it was recently granted an MOT following long term dry storage, but the vendor recommends further recommissioning before further hard use. He currently grades the bodywork, engine and transmission as 'good', the paintwork as 'average-good' and the interior trim as 'poor'.
- Credible but unwarranted recorded mileage of 70,000 - Recent service, timing belt change and gearbox overhaul - MOT'd till Sep 2016, Black leather, much underrated sportscar Penned by legendary stylist Marcello Gandini, Bertone's Autobianchi Runabout concept car directly inspired the targa-roofed Fiat X1/9. Initially powered by a 1290cc engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the arrival of a larger 1498cc powerplant and five-speed gearbox during 1978 brought 110mph performance. Great fun to drive, the X1/9 was built by both Fiat (1972-1982) and Bertone (1982-1989). According to its accompanying warranty / maintenance book, this particular RHD example was delivered to Fiat Auto UK Ltd (Channel Island Sales) on 13th April 1987. Although not UK road registered until the following year, service stamps suggest that the X1/9 had covered 52,700 miles by October 1992. Currently displaying an unwarranted but credible 70,000 miles to its odometer (seemingly less than 4,000 of which have been accrued over the past decade), the two-seater appears to retain much of its original Metallic Beige over Black paintwork and Black leather upholstery. Various invoices on file indicate the Fiat has been treated to a recent service and timing belt change, while the vendor informs us that it has also benefited from a gearbox overhaul. Offered for sale without reserve and MOT'd till September 2016, this appealing mid-engined sportscar comes with owner's handbook, workshop manual and owners' club literature.
- Rare UK-suppled, two-seater example, PAS, five-speed manual - Recent stainless steel exhaust and electrical fettling - Black cloth upholstery, electric windows, sunroof, MOT'd till Nov 2016 Introduced in 1978, the 280ZX was an all-new design save for its carryover 2.8 litre straight-six engine, transmission and differential. More aerodynamically efficient and stable than its predecessors, the second generation (or S130) Z-car also boasted BMW-style semi-trailing arm rear suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and 50:50 weight distribution. In keeping with its grand tourer aspirations, the 280ZX could be had in two-seater or (more usually) 2+2-seater guises and with manual or automatic transmission. Reputedly capable of 120mph and 0-60mph in 8.8 seconds, the Datsun's period rivals included the Ford Capri 3.0 Ghia, Alfa Romeo GTV and Porsche 924. A rare UK-supplied two-seater example, chassis HS130-148331 is finished in Red with Black cloth upholstery. First registered in Stoke-on-Trent on August 1st 1980 (or so its 'NEH 511W' number plate would imply), the Datsun boasts a sunroof, power steering, five-speed manual transmission, electric windows and alloy wheels. Sporting a stainless steel exhaust, the sleek fixed head coupe was treated to some £361.66 worth of electrical components earlier this year. Famously reliable if properly maintained, this decidedly period-looking 280ZX is offered for sale with Black Dragon parts brochure and assorted MOTs certificates including one valid until November 2016.
- Extensively restored / uprated in 2003 and little used since - Dunnell Zetec 16v engine, 2000E gearbox, upgraded brakes etc - History file includes original invoice from Candor Motors Ltd (May 1968) This smartly-presented MKI Escort started life in May 1968 as an unpretentious 1300cc Super. Now it is an altogether different kettle of automotive fish and clearly capable of springing all sorts of surprises on the road, and probably the track too. Uprated suspension gives it a lower, meaner stance and we understand the modified braking system includes discs at the rear as well as the front. In place of the original Kent engine lurks a far more exciting Dunnell 2-litre Zetec unit, complete with wrapped stainless steel exhaust manifold. The passenger cell abounds with competition-orientated modifications, including: roll cage; Corbeau racing seats; Luke four-point harnesses; Sparco pedals; battery master switch; leather-rimmed alloy steering wheel; and OMEX rev-counter. Where the luggage used to sit are housed the competition fuel system, alloy petrol tank and battery. Outside you'll find a period door mirror and a set of very smart Ford alloy wheels. 'YWC 587F' is now looking for a suitably appreciative new home and comes complete with its original sales invoice, plus a large collection of other bills; including some from MKI Escort specialist Burton Power. Always popular and still winning on track and rally stage alike, MKI Escorts are now highly collectable.
- The subject of past restoration work, Surrey Top - Home market car with extensive history file - Touring kit (bulbs etc) and MOT'd until May 2016 Codenamed 'Zest', the TR4 was introduced in 1961. Though, based on the chassis and drivetrain of its much-loved TR3A predecessor, the newcomer cut a far more modern dash thanks to its all-new Michelotti-styled body. Power was provided by Triumph's proven 2138cc OHV four-cylinder engine, while mechanical updates included a wider track front and rear, rack and pinion steering and all-synchromesh gearbox. The optional overdrive was now made to operate on second and third gears as well as top. The final iteration of the TR4 was the TR4A, introduced in 1965. This embodied a number of small styling changes and upgrades to the specification but, more pertinently, some 75 percent of TR4As were equipped with independent rear suspension (IRS). The right-hand drive, 'home market' TR4A on offer is one of the desirable IRS cars. Built in 1965, it is finished in Red with Black leather upholstery and a Surrey top. Self-evidently the subject of past restoration work, the Triumph rides on wire wheels and sports BRDC, BARC and Le Mans Classic emblems to its wooden dashboard. Reportedly accompanied by 'an inches thick history file and touring kit (spare bulbs etc)', 'HLW 978C' also possesses a MOT certificate valid until May 2016.
- Finished in Sapphire Blue with cream leather interior - Reconditioned engine just fitted and retrimmed front seats - Offered with original handbooks and MOT'd into September 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. Prior to 2003, power for the XK8 was provided by a normally aspirated 4.0 litre version of Jaguar's DOHC V8 AJ26 engine. Finished in Sapphire Blue with Ivory leather interior, this particular example shows four previous keepers on its V5C Registration Document and the vendor informs us that the XK8 previously belonged to the proprietor of a Ford dealership. Recently treated to a reconditioned engine and re-trimmed front seats, the Convertible is also understood to have benefited from a full valet and detailing. Described by the vendor as 'excellent' with regard to its engine, automatic gearbox, interior and paintwork, this stylish Jaguar is offered for sale with handbooks and MOT certificate valid to September 2016.
- 1 of just 100 examples built to celebrate Jaguar's 1988 Le Mans win - 2 previous keepers and 31,600 recorded miles - Offered with history file and MOT certificate into November 2016 Launched in August 1988, the XJR-S 5.3 was the first product of the newly formed JaguarSport. Intended to capitalise on Jaguar's sixth Le Mans victory earlier that summer not to mention its 1987 World Sportscar Championship title, the newcomer sported a drag reducing bodykit and special 'Speedline' alloy wheels. Further benefiting from revised suspension and more focused power-assisted steering, the flagship coupe utilised the same 5343cc SOHC engine and automatic transmission as its standard XJ-S V12 sibling and was thus reputedly capable of 150mph. Initially available in Tungsten Grey only for the first 100 'Le Mans Celebration' cars, the XJR-S 5.3 could be had in different liveries thereafter. First registered on 24th November 1988, this particular example - no.72 /100 - is understood to have had just two previous keepers and to have spent time in a private collection hence its low recorded mileage of 31,600. Said to have possessed a full Jaguar service history until joining the collection, the XJR-S has benefited from a transmission fluid change and new spark plugs among other recommissioning works since being returned to the road. Offered with its original service book, handbooks and collection of old invoices, 'F531 BCW' also boasts a MOT certificate valid until November 2016.
- LHD, original Red upholstery, overdrive, credible but unwarranted 67,000 miles - Repainted a few years ago and more recently treated to new wire wheels - Engine and gearbox said to be 'strong', NOVA declared and MOT'd till Sep 2016 A significant step in terms of 'Big Healey' evolution and foundation block for one of the 1960s' most charismatic rally cars, the 3000 MKI was introduced in March 1959. Powered by an enlarged 2912cc version of BMC's C-Series straight-six engine that developed some 124bhp and 167lbft of torque, it could be had in two-seater (BN7) or 2+2 seater (BT7) configurations. Progressively improved, the 3000 metamorphosed through MKII and MKIIa guises before the arrival of the ultimate MKIII BJ8 in October 1963. Boasting a centre console, proper convertible hood, wood veneer dashboard, redesigned exhaust system and wind-up windows, the 2+2 seater BJ8 proved a comfortable and fast grand tourer. With engine output boosted to 148bhp and 165lbft of torque thanks to a new camshaft and better valve springs etc, its reputed 124mph top speed was accessed via a four-speed manual gearbox. Last of the line, the Phase Two variant benefited from redesigned rear suspension, strengthened splined hubs and larger diameter front disc brakes. Finished in Old English White with Red vinyl upholstery, this particular left-hand drive example has not long been imported to the UK from Georgia. Reportedly NOVA declared and duty paid, the Austin-Healey is described by the vendor thus: 'A very solid and straight BJ8 that still carries its original interior and hood which are both in good order. Although, not warranted the low recorded mileage of 67,000 is commensurate with the overall condition. The car underwent a re-spray a few years ago and has been fitted with chrome wire wheels more recently. The engine is strong and the four-speed transmission, with functioning overdrive, is very good'. Seemingly well suited to Continental touring, this appealing left-hand drive Big Healey is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until September 2016 and NOVA reference number.
PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is a Late Entry. - Just c.22,000 miles from new - Lovely condition commensurate with low mileage - MoT to July 2016 In 1980 Ford changed from rear to front wheel drive for their Escort, with all round independent suspension and servo disc brakes on all but the most basic version. As on the Fiesta, the 1.1 to 1.6-litre engines were transversely mounted, while the most sporting version was the XR3, which became the fuel-injected 105bhp XR3i with 5-speed box in 1983. Even more potent were the RS1600i of 1982-3 and the 1984 launched RS Turbo with 130bhp and 130mph capability. Registering just circa 22,350 miles, this immaculate example is described as having "excellent" engine, bodywork and paintwork commensurate with its low mileage. Finished in black with grey interior, the car is only being sold to help fund the vendor's house extension. The impressive specification includes a Ford radio with graphic equalizer, heated front screen and fuel computer as fitted to Custom models. Recently treated to a service which included replacement of the cam belt, tensioner and water pump, the vendor advises the car has at some point been fitted with a 1990 spec interior, larger intercooler and big bore exhaust. Offered with Swansea V5 document, assorted expired MoTs, DVLA history check printout and current MoT to July 2016. With interest in these fast Ford's growing by the day this must surely represent an ideal opportunity to acquire a low mileage and well-cared for example.
- Three keepers from new and 94,000 recorded miles - Garaged for 29 years by its original owner - Described as 'original and never restored' Introduced in August 1971, the Volvo P1800ES was arguably one of the world's first 'lifestyle' estate cars (a genre now typified by the BMW 3-Series Touring). Boasting notably greater luggage space thanks to its extended roof line and sharply raked glass tailgate, the model came with a more powerful Bosch fuel-injected 1986cc OHV four-cylinder powerplant as standard. Further benefiting from four-wheel disc brakes and the choice of either four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, it remained in production until 1973 (by which time some 8,078 are thought to have been made). The 'time warp' P1800ES now offered is a genuine three-owner vehicle, which is now displaying an unwarranted 94,000 miles, yet was garaged for no less than 29 years by its original owner. It has apparently never been restored and is presented in its original pleasing livery of Metallic Blue bodywork, Black leather upholstery and Blue carpeting. The vendor these days regards the bodywork, paintwork and four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission as 'very good' and the 2-litre engine as 'good'. The venerable Volvo comes with an MOT valid to January 28th 2016.
- LHD example imported to the UK in 2002, Tan leather upholstery - Recent replacement clutch, exhaust, suspension spheres and carpets - Five-speed manual gearbox, said to 'drive very well', MOT'd till Aug 2016 The DS's Flaminio Bertoni-penned body was a stunning sight in the austere world of the '50s. Its self-levelling hydropneumatic suspension was also way ahead of its time, delivering a ride that many manufacturers would be grateful for even now. The newcomer was powered by an updated version of the OHV four-cylinder unit previously found in the Traction Avant. The gearbox was mounted ahead of the engine and the differential sandwiched between the two. Some 1.5 million D Series CitroÙns were produced and the model immortalised in such films as The Day of the Jackal. This left-hand drive D Super 5 came to the UK in 2002. The bodywork was Beige originally, but is now finished in the attractive combination of Silver over Burgundy that's teamed with a Tan leather interior. In recent times the clutch, exhaust system, hyropneumatic suspension spheres and carpets have all been replaced. The vendor informs us that the DS 'drives very well' and has enjoyed 'an excellent rolling restoration'. He currently regards the 2.2-litre engine, five-speed manual gearbox and interior trim as 'good' and the bodywork and paintwork as 'average'. He is now selling 'BWP 776M' complete with numerous old MOTs and one valid to August 18th 2016.
PLEASE NOTE: The original owner's handbooks and service book do not accompany this vehicle. - Supplied new to Singapore and only 1 UK registered keeper - 13,000 recorded km (c.8,000) miles and MOT'd into February 2016 - Offered with its original owner's handbooks and service book The Arnage replaced derivatives of the long-serving Mulsanne during 1998 and was initially powered by a DOHC 4.4-litre BMW engine. However, it was around this time that Bentley passed to the Volkswagen Group, who were forced to find an alternative powerplant. In fact they sourced two, creating the option of Red and Green Label Arnages, with the former powered by a Cosworth-built version of Bentley's single-turbo OHV 6.75-litre V8. Coincident with the engine changes, the models were treated to additional legroom, stiffer bodyshells, bigger brakes and larger wheels. Finished in Dark Blue with Cream leather upholstery and riding on 18-inch Bentley alloy wheels, this particular right-hand drive example was supplied new to the city state of Singapore where it resided until earlier this year. Displaying just 13,000km (c.8,000 miles) to its odometer, the Arnage is described by the vendor - who is also its sole UK registered keeper - as being in 'very good' condition with regard to its turbocharged V8 engine, automatic transmission, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. 1 of just 2,282 Red Label cars made, 'MP03 PXR' is offered for sale with its original owner's handbooks, service book and a MOT certificate valid until February 2016.
- Offered from long-term Triumph enthusiast ownership - 87,000 recorded miles, MOT'd into April 2016 and four recent tyres - Offered with previous invoices, MOTs and Triumph wallet with original handbook The Harris Mann-penned TR7 was a major departure from the original TR line, which had steadily evolved from the TR2 of 1953. Its overtly wedge-shaped monocoque body was initially only available in Coupe guise, the Convertible not being launched until 1980. Power came from a front-mounted 1998cc four-cylinder engine that was effectively an 8-valve version of the Dolomite Sprint unit. Its output was 105bhp - enough to accelerate the newcomer to 60mph in 9.6 seconds and on to around 112mph. Suspension was by MacPherson struts and coil springs at the front and a live axle and coil springs at the rear, while braking was by discs/drums and steering by rack and pinion. This 1981 TR7 has been owned by husband and wife Triumph enthusiasts since 1991. It is pleasingly presented in the combination of Red bodywork, Beige plaid upholstery, Beige hood, and Gold-coloured alloy wheels. It has just been treated to four new tyres and is being offered complete with the original handbook in Green Triumph wallet, previous maintenance invoices and MOTs, and one valid to April 8 next year. The vendor informs us that 'JOK 47W' 'drives very well'. The TR7's odometer currently stands at an unwarranted 87,000 miles.
- UK supplied and 1 of just 776 RHD examples made - Recorded mileage of 57,500 reportedly corroborated by old MOTs - Comes with service history, manuals and MOT till June 2016 Styled by Paul Bracq and first shown to the press at the re-opening of the Daimler-Benz museum in February 1961, the W111-series 220SE Coupe was notably rakish. Powered by a 2195cc straight-six engine (120bhp / 151lbft) allied to four-speed manual or optional automatic transmission, the big four-seater coupe boasted all-round independent suspension, disc / drum brakes and a 106mph top speed. Of the 14,173 Mercedes-Benz 220SE Coupes built between 1961 and 1965 just 776 were to right-hand drive specification. Finished in Blue with Ivory leather upholstery, this particular UK-supplied RHD example is described by the vendor as being in 'average' condition with regard to its original engine, four-speed automatic transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. Confident the old MOTs on file support its recorded mileage of 57,500, he further informs us that the Mercedes-Benz comes with 'a file full of service history from main dealers and marque specialists'. The front passenger seat hide is torn and the brightwork poor in places but it is anticipated that this stylish 220SEb Coupe will be driven to the sale from Manchester. Offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document, MOT certificate valid until June 2016 and manuals.
- Former Porsche Cars (GB) Press Car and 58,000 recorded miles - 20 service stamps, last cambelt change @ 52,766 miles - Certificate of Authenticity, leather upholstery and MOT till April 2016 The S2 saw the light of day in 1989, by which time the normally aspirated engine had grown to 3.0-litres in capacity. A total of 4,000 Cabriolet variants were produced before the 944 model range was superseded by the 968 in 1991. This decidedly handsome example started life on Porsche's UK press fleet before being acquired by a Simon Jones of St Helier, Jersey. The comprehensive service record (20 stamps) confirms it remained on the island until at least 2006 before returning to the mainland. The Porsche is finished in the attractive combination of colour-coded Alpine White bodywork, Blue hood and Blue leather upholstery, and rides on 17-inch Turbo hollow-spoke alloy wheels. It boasts an extensive specification including: electric hood; factory tonneau; headlamp washers; electrically-operated sports seats, windows, and heated door mirrors; Porsche floor mats; central locking/immobiliser; and JVC radio/CD player. It is currently viewed by the vendor as having 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, four-cylinder engine and five-speed manual gearbox, and 'good' interior trim. It is now being offered complete with warranted mileage of 58,000 (the service history confirms a cambelt change at 52,766), Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and MOT valid to April 10th 2016. A seemingly very pleasing proposition.
- Recently imported from the car friendly climate of Japan - 1 of 1,145 examples and described as being in 'stunning condition' - Timing belt and inspection service in November 2015 by UK Ferrari specialist This Mondial coupe has recently been imported from the extremely car friendly climate of Japan, where cars are often in superb original condition due to the lack of salt that appears on the country's roads. This example is reported to be no exception and is described by the vendor as being in 'excellent' condition, including the bodywork, interior, and transmission. The engine is also described as being in 'excellent' condition and has recently benefitted from a timing belt change, service, and inspection (available to view on request) by a leading Surrey-based Ferrari specialist at a cost of £2,000. The vendor adds that the car is in 'stunning condition' and features Ferrari 348-style wheels with new tyres, as well as having several Japanese maintenance records on file. The odometer records an unwarranted 60,250 kilometres, equating to only 37,400 miles, which is believed to be correct. This Mondial also has NOVA registration and an MOT until November 2016 and is now just waiting for a new owner and registration with the DVLA.
- 1 owner from new, highly original and 'pin sharp' to drive - Chassis, brake and suspension replacement / overhaul by Miles Wilkins - Notably good panel fit, numerous rare features and 'no advisories' MOT The brainchild of Ron Hickman, Lotus's Elan was introduced at the 1962 Earls Court Motor Show and promptly redefined its class in terms of ride, handling and performance. One of the most desirable versions, the S4, arrived in March 1968. Characterised by its wider wheelarches, revised interior and brake servo, the variant was capable of 0-60mph in 7.8 seconds and a top speed of over 120mph. With more power (118bhp) and a close-ratio gearbox, SE derivatives were quicker still. The delightfully unmolested S4 SE Fixed Head Coupe being sold is a 1969 model finished in Lotus Yellow and trimmed in Black vinyl. Its somewhat unkempt appearance belies the fact that 'VUW 898G' is a genuine one owner car that has seen regular use. Moreover, under the careworn paintwork lies a galvanized Lotus replacement chassis, the installation of which formed part of an extensive 'nut and bolt' restoration of the running gear by leading marque specialist Miles Wilkins of Fibreglass Services. Lotus OEM parts were used wherever possible and the car's history file contains related invoices approaching £10,000 in value. A true enthusiast, the Fixed Head Coupe's sole registered keeper was careful to preserve its speed blade wipers, small thumb-latch boot handle, Special Equipment sill strips, interior chrome coat hooks, dashboard, crash pad and original locks (one key fits all). Built before a factory fire distorted the Elan's body moulds, the S4 enjoys notably good panel fit / gaps. The vendor currently grades the DOHC engine and four-speed manual gearbox as 'very good', the original bodywork and interior trim as 'good' and the paintwork as 'average'. He tells us that 'VUW 898G' drives notably well and is offering the car complete with a plethora of old MOTs plus the aforementioned bills. Thus, the next keeper can decide whether to complete the restoration or just enjoy this well-sorted example as is.
- 1 of c.356 made and among the best driving TVR models - Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds and 160mph plus - Main dealer and marque specialist service history, MOT'd till Sep 2016 TVR manufactured the Tamora between 2002 and 2006, during which time around just 356 were produced. It is widely considered to be one of the company's best driving models and, according to Autocar magazine, could achieve the benchmark sprint to 60mph in a lightening 4.2 seconds and top 170mph flat out - figures that wouldn't disgrace a supercar of today. The 350bhp and 290lbft of torque on tap were provided by a 3605cc version of TVR's in-house straight-six so called 'Speed Six' engine that was mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. Braking was by sizeable discs front and back operated by AP callipers, while the suspension comprised racing-style double wishbones at all corners. This macho-looking entry level Convertible was designed by Lee Hodgetts and Darren Hobbs and designed to fill the gap left by the departing Chimaera and Griffith models. When new, the Tamora was priced at £43,460. The very attractively-presented right-hand drive example now offered is finished in Titanio Grigio Pearl (that's Titanium Grey Pearl in non-TVR speak) matched to a Nimbus and Portland Grey interior - considered the combination of choice by many aficionados. The unmarked seven-spoked 16x7-inch alloy wheels are shod with Toyo Y-rated tyres. Other items of note among the car's impressive specification include: sports exhaust; upgraded alloy radiator; electronically-controlled doors, windows and mirrors; Black mohair hood with glass screen; adjustable steering column; Thatcham security; air conditioning; central locking; and CD player. 'LG52 CYO' currently displays a total of 48,000 miles and is considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' interior trim and 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, DOHC engine and manual transmission. The TVR is now offered for sale complete with service history courtesy of both franchise dealers and marque specialists. A relatively rare and exciting opportunity for the many enthusiasts of this much loved British marque.
- Finished in Aysgarth Metallic Blue and trimmed in Tan and Blue hide - Extensive maintenance history comprising 19 stamps and last serviced 400 miles ago - 420bhp 6.0-litre V12 engine, manual transmission and MOT'd into September 2016 The long awaited Vantage variant of the DB7 was unveiled at the 1999 Geneva Salon. A muscular makeover had endowed it with beefed up flanks, new sills, a larger air intake, and revised grille, lights and rear bumper. Uprated suspension and larger Brembo brakes served to keep the 420bhp 6.0-litre V12 engine in check - the newcomer could reach 60mph in 5 seconds and 184 mph. This stunning-looking example is finished in Aysgarth Metallic Blue and trimmed in Tan and Blue hide. Its impressive specification includes: manual transmission, heated electric sports seats; heated windscreen; electric windows and mirrors; sports exhaust; CD stack/upgraded stereo; Aston Martin trickle charger and engine pre-heater; comprehensive toolkit. The Aston has made several trips to Europe this year and comes complete with extensive maintenance history comprising 19 stamps. The last was added just 400 miles ago and concerned a full service that included 12 new coil packs, sparking plugs, replacement vacuum/emissions pipework etc at a cost of nearly £3,000. The vendor describes the Vantage as 'a thoroughly enjoyed example of the marque that's been thoroughly looked after', and is now offering it complete with MOT to September 14th 2016 in order to finance a classic Jaguar project.
- Two owners from new & 22,800 recorded miles - Offered with original handbooks, invoices and old MOT's - MOT'd into September 2016 Mercedes-Benz's SLK was introduced in 1997 as a competitor for the Porsche Boxster and BMW Z3 and was among the first models to feature an electro-hydraulic retractable hardtop. The first generation examples (codename R170) were manufactured until 2004, when they were superseded by the substantially revised R171-Series. This longer wheelbase model brought many revisions including: sharper styling; a galvanised, stiffer bodyshell; two-stage airbags; a faster-folding retractable roof; fabric wind-blocker; a new range of engines that began with a 1.8-litre supercharged unit; and the option of seven-speed automatic transmission. The punchy new powerplant was capable of whisking the revised two-seater to 62mph in 7.9 seconds and on to c.143mph. 'PK54 NZM' is a right-hand drive R171-Series example from the first year of production and is equipped with the aforementioned supercharged 1.8-litre engine coupled to the new automatic gearbox. It is very tidily-presented in Silver matched to a Black leather interior and has had just two owners to date who, between them, have apparently accumulated a mere 22,800 miles. The baby Benz now seeks a suitably caring new home and is being offered complete with its original handbooks, collection of invoices and old MOTs, plus one valid to September 26th 2016.
- First registered to Jaguar Cars and used by its then chairman Sir John Egan - Current (third) ownership since 1996 and 49,900 recorded miles - Offered with extensive history file and MoT'd into March 2016 It was in 1988 that the fully Convertible version of the XJ-S replaced the Targa-Type XJ-SC, and this smartly-presented righthand drive Artic Blue example hails from April of that year. It has a fine history, having been first registered by Jaguar Cars and apparently used on occasion by the then Chairman, Sir John Egan. In October the following year it was sold to Central News presenter Bob Warman who retained until 1996, when it was acquired by the vendor. Since then it has been garaged, reserved for the summer months, and maintained, updated and serviced on a regular basis by former Jaguar Cars engineers at Specialist Motor Services of Halesowen, and more recently by the vendor's local garage. He currently regards the bodywork and paintwork as being in 'good condition' and the V12 engine as 'smooth and quiet'. This Convertible cat's total indicated mileage stands at just 49,925 and the Jaguar is now being offered complete with an extensive history file containing full documentation, Jaguar workshop manuals etc, tonneau cover and waterproof hood bag, plus the benefit of aftermarket central locking and FoxGuard alarm and immobiliser systems. Good examples of these delightful motorcars are becoming more and more keenly sought.
- Up to date and fully stamped service history - Invoices and historic MOT's supplied with vehicle - Paperwork includes extended warranty agreement from 1988 and first owners details Always quick to support the performance and motorsport markets, Ford introduced the be-winged XR4i in 1983. This was followed by the XR 4x4 in 1985, the Sierra RS Cosworth in 1986, the Sierra RS500 Cosworth in 1987, the Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth in 1988 and the Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth 4x4 in 1990; some 12,250 of which were manufactured before Ford's power mantle was assumed by the Escort RS Cosworth in 1992. The two-wheel drive Sapphire RS Cosworth offered has had six keepers to date, and is understood to have covered just over 67,000 well-documented miles. It is finished in Mercury Grey and trimmed in Grey Recaro cloth. The vendor has owned 'F252 LJN' since 2008 and currently rates the paintwork as 'very good' and the bodywork, turbocharged engine and five-speed manual transmission as 'excellent'. He is now offering the car with fully stamped service book and selection of invoices and old MOTs, plus one valid to September 28, 2016. This fast Ford had a major service last year that included a new cam belt and is standard aside from Koni dampers and a period correct Alpine radio/cassette and boot-mounted CD changer.
- 5 litre V8, automatic transmission, Holley carburettor with ram air scoop - 41,138 recorded miles and MOT'd into July 2016 - UK Supplied, rare RHD example and 4 previous keepers The phenomenal success of the '64 Mustang is engrained in American automotive folklore, and while McQueen's Detective Frank Bullitt immortalised the '68 Fastback variant, the fact is that by the end of that decade the model had grown too big and sales had dropped away. So in 1970 Lee Iacocca ordered the development of an all-new smaller pony car and, in a fortunate piece of timing, the newcomer arrived coincident with the oil crisis - 'the right car at the right time' - and over one million examples were sold during its four year reign. The Mustang II on offer is a 1976 Liftback model that's equipped with the top of the range 4.9-litre (302ci) V8 engine, the intake to the Holley carburettor of which is aided by a 'ram air' scoop. Finished in Bronze and trimmed in a mix of Bronze and Black, 'ORH 152P' is a rare UK-supplied right-hand drive example that's had five keepers to date, the most recent of which has retained the fast Ford since 2010. He is now selling it complete with a sales invoice from 1977, Haynes manual, club magazine, and collection of old invoices and MOTs, plus one valid to July 14th 2016.
- 1 of c.500 examples made and museum displayed for many years - Credible but only unwarranted 37,000 miles - Dark Green hide, pre-selector transmission, good running order Popular among the types of DB18 were the three-seater Special Sports Drophead Coupes built by Barker between 1948 and 1952, of which some 500 were constructed. Topping the sturdy steel ladder chassis was a hand-beaten aluminium body, paired with heavy gauge steel wings. Power came from an in-line OHV six-cylinder engine of 2522cc that, courtesy of a high compression aluminium head and twin carburettors, produced 85bhp. This was mated to a four-speed Wilson pre-selector gearbox and the comprehensive specification included such mechanical niceties as automatic chassis lubrication and integral jacking. This splendid-looking example recently hailed from the Highlands of Scotland, but previously lived in Bristol and Chelmsford before spending many years in a Spanish museum; hence the credible (but unwarranted) overall mileage of 37,000. It is finished in two-tone Green and trimmed in Dark Green hide, and the vendor informs us that the engine bay is in 'show condition', the body and brightwork 'are excellent with no rust', the inside 'luxurious with soft Green seats and new carpets', and the hood 'in virtually new condition'. He believes there 'is nothing that currently needs attention', and is selling the Daimler complete with various items of paperwork and an original handbook.
- Number 22 from a limited production run and 1 of just 390 for the UK - Offered with original bookpack and service book containing 14 entries - Described as 'excellent' with regards to the paintwork, engine and interior Unveiled in 1993 and much-vaunted by the motoring media, the special edition Clio Williams was a nod to the relationship between Renault and the Williams F1 team to whom Renault was supplying engines, and sparked by the company's desire to homologate a 2.0-litre race engine. Evolved from the 1.8-litre Clio 16S unit, the 150bhp powerplant featured uprated valves, camshaft, exhaust manifold etc. It drove through a modified JC5 gearbox and the chassis benefited from firmer than standard suspension and a wider front track. A total of 5,400 examples were produced over two years in three generations, 390 of which were made especially for the UK market. One of the first of these iconic pocket rockets made, the sale car (No.22) has had seven owners to date and is smartly presented in the correct combination of Sports Blue paintwork and Gold-coloured eight-spoke Speedline wheels. The interior still boasts its 'W' monogrammed grey cloth seats and Blue Williams-branded floor mats. 'L580 BGV' is now offered complete with book pack containing 14 service stamps, old MOTs, load-cover with integral suit-carrier and original Hamilton & Palmer security system. MOT'd until 25th November 2016, the vendor regards the Clio as having 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, four-cylinder engine and five-speed manual gearbox.
- Much recent expenditure to bodywork, suspension and braking system - 161,000 miles with MOT to August 2016 - Finished in Blue with Cream Leather The built-to-order XJR was a JaguarSport product, born of a partnership between Jaguar and Tom Walkinshaw's TWR concern. Once produced, the standard cars were shipped to TWR for completion. The modifications included engine upgrade, enhanced suspension, bodykit and special interior trim. A true super saloon, the Jaguar XJR was powered by a 4-litre supercharged AJ-V8 engine allied to five-speed automatic transmission. With a quoted 370bhp on tap, the model was reputedly capable of sprinting from 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds and had its top speed electronically limited to 155mph. 'S633 RDF' has benefited from significant expenditure to its paintwork, bodywork, suspension and braking system carried out between February and May 2015. Finished in Blue with Cream Leather and registering some 161,000 miles, this smart Jaguar is offered with Swansea V5 document and MoT to August 2016. The paintwork and bodywork are described as 'excellent' whilst the engine and transmission are said to be 'good'. The property of a well-known classic hire car company, it has been well cared for in their ownership and is only being offered for sale due to a review of their current fleet.
- Modified in period by racing driver Sid Hurrell of SAH Accessories - 40DCOE Weber carbs, stainless steel exhaust and adjustable gas dampers - Subject to an extensive restoration and current ownership since 2002 Introduced in late 1968, the TR6 was effectively a cleverly updated TR5. Triumph initially turned to Michelotti for the body revisions - the Italian maestro who styled the TR4/TR5 - however he couldn't meet their schedule and the changes were ultimately achieved by Karmann. A total of 94,619 TR6s were produced, a mere 8,370 of which were sold on the home market. This very pretty-looking TR6 was supplied new in 1971 complete with conversion by SAH Accessories - the tuning shop operated by racing driver Sid A Hurrell was synonymous with modified Triumphs of the period. Just prior to the vendor's purchase from a Triumph dealer in 2002, it was treated to an extensive restoration, at which point it gained the following: 40DCOE Weber carburettors, stainless steel exhaust system, overdrive in third and top gears, adjustable gas dampers, uprated front anti-roll bar, five new wire wheels, skid plate, hood and tonneau covers, detachable wind deflector and storage bag. Finished in the pleasing combination of Green bodywork and Tan-coloured interior, 'DUB 548K is currently described by the vendor as having 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, six-cylinder engine and manual gearbox. An unrestored Works hardtop is available by separate negotiation.
- Restored prior to entering the current ownership in 2010 - Handbook and Haynes Manual supplied with vehicle - Said to be in 'very good overall' condition and to 'drive well' Owing to the overt success of the Mini, it made eminent sense to employ its designer to create a successor for the larger Austin A40 and Riley 1.5. Codenamed ADO16, the newcomer launched with a Morris badge in August 1962 was therefore penned by Alec Issigonis and echoed the primary thinking of the Mini in having an 'A' Series engine mounted east-west up front, driving the front wheels. Its technical innovations included single-piston swinging calliper disc front brakes and 'Hydrolastic' interconnected fluid suspension system. The appealing styling was the work of Carrozzeria Pininfarina which, with minor adjustments, went on to wear not only Morris but Austin, MG, Wolseley, Riley and Vanden Plas badges during the model's 13 year reign, during which 2.1million examples were sold. They were powered by either 1100 or 1300cc versions of the 'A' Series unit and the example on offer is an October 1971 Morris 1300 GT. Finished in Red with contrasting Black vinyl roof, 'BAF 680K' was evidently restored a few years before being purchased by the vendor in 2010. He informs us that it's in 'very good condition and drives well' and is selling the car with V5C, owners' handbook and Haynes workshop manual.
- Described as being in 'excellent overall' condition - Comprehensive maintenance history with 73,000 miles displayed - Only four recorded owners from new This example of Mercedes-Benz's extremely popular SL 500 was first registered on January 1st 1997 and has been enjoyed by just four recorded owners since then. The vendor describes the car as being one of the desirable late model variants and the metallic green-black paintwork and cream leather interior as both being in 'excellent' condition. He continues to describe the 5 litre V8 engine, automatic transmission and electrical systems as being in 'excellent' condition too. The maintenance history reportedly includes eleven service stamps and nine expired MOT certificates, with the current MOT remaining valid until October 2016. This SL was apparently owned for some time by a Mercedes-Benz Owners Club member and retains its factory hard top and is believed to have been fitted with a stainless steel exhaust system at some stage.
- A very rare Alpina factory manufactured BMW (No 276 of 572) - Recently imported from the car friendly climate of Japan - Odometer shows 44,500km (c.27,600 miles) and reportedly in 'stunning condition' This Alpina B10 3.5/1 Saloon (E34) is a very rare car and has recently been imported from Japan where cars are often in superb original condition due to the lack of salt that appears on the country's roads. This B10 is described by the vendor as being in 'excellent' condition, including the bodywork and its metallic Lazurblau paint, the black leather interior, and the engine and transmission. The vendor emphasises that this B10 is an original Alpina factory produced example, and adds that it is number 276 of only 572 produced. A copy of the original Alpina build sheet is included with the car, as well as 13 maintenance records from 1990 to 2015 including a £400 invoice carried with the MOT. The odometer records just 44,500 kilometres, equating to only 27,600 miles, which is believed to be correct. The vendor adds that the car is in 'stunning condition' and that it has NOVA registration and an MOT until November 2016. A true collectors car.
- Professionally converted to later wide-bodied 'Super Sport' appearance - Previous engine overhaul (with supporting photos) - Keys, fobs, wallet, lots of receipts and engine overhaul photos etc After a lengthy gestation period, the now ubiquitous Porsche 911 entered production in 1964 and, despite Porsche's own attempts to replace the model with the 928 during the 1970s, much evolved versions of it remain in production to this day, 52 years later. The design was the work of Dr Ferry Porsche's eldest son, Ferdinand 'Butzi' Porsche and the company's joint founder and chief body engineer Erwin Komenda. By the birth of the SC derivative introduced in 1977, engine capacity had grown by 50 percent to 3.0-litres, much had been done to make the handling more benign and the interiors had become increasing civilised. Over the SC's five-year reign more and more was squeezed from the model's flat-six engine, leaving the last of the breed with a healthy 204bhp - sufficient to rush the Porsche to 60mph in 5.8 seconds and on to c.146mph. The striking Cabriolet variant was a late addition to the range and ultimately accounted for just 4,096 examples of total SC production. This handsome right-hand drive example is presented in the classic combination of Guards Red body and Black leather interior. It has been professionally converted to later whale-tailed wide-bodied 'Super Sport' appearance using Porsche-only parts. The engine benefits from a previous overhaul and is believed to be to standard specification apart from a twin-outlet sports exhaust and BMC sports air filter. It has been serviced using Castrol Magnatec engine oil and Wevo gearbox lubricant. The brake fluid has been changed and the callipers refurbished. The vendor presently classes all major aspects of '7 NPX' as 'excellent' and the Black hood is said to be 'as new'. He is now offering the Porsche complete with engine overhaul photos, lots of receipts, keys/fobs, book wallet and an MOT valid to April 16th 2016.
PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been informed that this lot comes with a factory-supplied, fully-tailored car cover and has had its rear window seal's drain channel silicone filled in accordance with Porsche's recommendation. It has also had the upper section of its rear wheel arches 'rolled' and been fitted with a factory-supplied battery cut-off switch to its front compartment. - Based on a manual C2 and reputedly just 20kg heavier than a factory RSR - Genuine RS engine mounts, short-shift kit and Steve Wong custom chip etc. - All work completed within the last 1,000 miles or so using genuine or OEM parts This stunning-looking RSR Club Sport Evocation is based on a C2 993 model with manual transmission but minus conditioning - it is reputedly only 20kg heavier than a genuine RSR but with more power! This comes from the combination of a Steve Wong custom chip (98-100 octane fuel), Fabspeed RSR exhausts (with cats), RS downpipe, motorsport airbox, and BMC filter. Among the myriad of other mechanical upgrades are: fully adjustable H&R suspension, including front and rear anti-roll bars, rose-jointed rear drop links and full set-up (including corner weighting) by Centre of Gravity, Nuneaton; strut brace; genuine Porsche RS engine mounts; short-shift gearchange kit; replica 18in Speedline alloys shod with Pirelli N-rated tyres. Inside can be found: a genuine RS gear lever and gaiter; radio blanking panel; centre console bin; 964 RS steering wheel and column surround; RS knee roll; bolt-in half cage; Shroth six-point harnesses; replica motorsport seats; complete OEM bodykit. Accessories that have been retained include electric windows, headlamp wash and electric sunroof, while items deleted are rear wiper, engine sump cover (the latter will be supplied with the car) and lower dash. The above work was completed less than 1,000 miles ago using genuine parts wherever possible, and OEM ones when not. This ultra-desirable Porsche has done little mileage over recent years but was recently serviced and comes with full maintenance history to 92,775 miles (the odometer now displays c.95,000 miles) courtesy of Lancaster Porsche and Porsche Centre Colchester, plus specialists RSJ and Parr. Also accompanying 'K999 RSR' are: an unused spacesaver; compressor; tool kit; document wallet; two sets of keys and fobs; all MOTs since 1999 and one valid to March 2016. The vendor currently classes the bodywork, Black paintwork, Black cloth interior, 3.6-litre engine and six-speed gearbox as all being in 'excellent' order. A very exciting proposition.
- Based on a 964-series Carrera 4 model with manual transmission. - Steve Wong custom chip. Engine overhauled, lightened and balanced - Keys, fobs, wallet / books, service history and numerous receipts etc This extremely purposeful-looking right-hand drive 911 is a Carrera RS Evocation based on a 964-series Carrera 4 model equipped with five-speed manual transmission. The bodywork is resplendent in classic Guards Red and the interior trimmed in Black leather/cloth. The specification is enough to set the mouth of any 911 aficionado watering and includes: KW 3-way suspension; strut brace; RS brake ducts and braided hoses, and Turbo 4-pot calliper upgrade; plus set-up by Centre of Gravity, Nuneaton. The engine was overhauled, lightened and balanced and benefits from a Steve Wong custom chip. It also features a sports exhaust and stainless steel de-cat pipe, as well as a sports filter and modified induction. The Club Sport-style interior includes reclining hard-backed/colour coded Recaro seats, red seat belts, scripted rear parcel shelf carpet, and aftermarket OMP sports steering wheel. As if the sound of the engine wasn't music enough, the Porsche also boasts a bespoke Bassmechanixs high quality sound system complete with memory stick feed. The original rear wiper, air conditioning system and engine bay heater assembly have all been deleted from the specification, but the sunroof and electric windows retained. The comprehensive early service history was carried out by franchised dealers as follows: Merlin (05/90, 2350 miles), Parkwood (05/93, 7655 miles), Rivervale (05/95, 12419 miles), AFN (09/96, 16652 miles), Evans Halshaw (07/97, 31352 miles; 10/97, 37319 miles; 03/98, 47970 miles; 08/98, 59436 miles; 04/99, 73842 miles; 09/99, 83984 miles), Stratstone of Wilmslow (10/00, 99084 miles) and Evans Halshaw (07/02, 110423 miles). 'B5 LWT' has now covered c.160,000 and the vendor presently considers the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, flat-six engine and five-speed manual gearbox to all be in 'excellent' condition, but notes that the tyres will need changing within a few thousand miles. This exciting 911 comes complete with MOT to April 14th 2016.
- 1 of just 1,583 RHD examples made and supplied new to Jersey - Imported to the mainland in 1975 and just three registered keepers since - Restoration invoices, Heritage Certificate and MOT'd until April 2016 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 from to 4.2-litres in October 1964, with which came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and more comfortable seats. This tidy-looking Series I 4.2 Coupe features the popular combination of Red bodywork teamed with Black interior trim and rides on chromed wire wheels. 1 of just 1,583 right-hand drive examples made, chassis 1E20730 was supplied new via the St Helier Garage Jersey to J.P. Labesse Esq, and at that time carried the local registration 'J 2666'. The two-seater returned to the mainland in 1975, since when it has had just three keepers. Thousands of pounds have evidently been invested on restoring the E-type over the years and the vendor currently describes the XK engine as 'condition 1', bodywork as 'condition' 2', the paintwork as 'very good' and the manual gearbox and part-restored interior trim as 'good'. The odometer currently registers an unwarranted 79,351 and the Jaguar, now UK registered 'FRR 27C', is being sold complete with Heritage Certificate, receipts for work done and an MOT to April 20th 2016.
- Three owners from new and 59,000 recorded miles - Offered with original book pack and service book - Recent engine fettling with a current MOT into August 2016 The renaissance of the Bentley brand started with the 1980 Mulsanne. It was named after the famous Le Mans straight - the scene of five classic Bentley victories in the vintage years. In 1992, the Mulsanne (and Bentley Eight) were replaced by the Brooklands that, continuing the motorsport theme, took its title from the awesome British circuit which also witnessed many a Bentley triumph. The sale car is finished in the classic combination of Green with magnolia leather upholstery, this particular example is understood to date from 1993 and to have covered 59,081 miles from new. The vendor describes the bodywork and paintwork, interior, V8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission as in "good" order and is offering 'K81 CNE' complete with its original leather wallet, handbooks and service book comprising of some 22 stamps with the last service at 58,745 miles in 2013. With current ownership from 2009 the Bentley has had just two previous keepers and is offered with a collection of old Mot certificates and invoices. Having recently received mechanical fettling in August of this year the current MoT certificate is valid until August 2016.
- 4.6-litre V8 with 2-speed B&M quick shift/line lock semi-automatic transmission - Lever arch file crammed with drawings, plans, specifications and receipts - Offered with current V5C document and MOT exempt And now for something completely different, that's guaranteed to render anybody's granny completely speechless - in short, a 4.6-litre V8-engine Austin A35! Lovingly built in Belgium to its current drag racing specification by a friend of the vendor but, as yet, never used in anger, the 'Gasser' is painted in a striking shade of Purple and the interior finished in a pleasing mix of body colour, chequer-plate and Black leather. The impressive mechanical specification includes the following: the aforementioned Ford Mustang engine coupled to a two-speed B&M quick shift/line lock semi-automatic transmission; Ford 9.25 locker differential with cut down axle, built by the renowned Andy Robinson; Ford Transit vented disc brake system up front and Ford drum units at the rear and full roll cage. The vendor regards the Austin's bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and transmission as all being in 'excellent' condition. Though he's trailered it to shows and events he feels it is time for somebody to enjoy the car to its full potential, so is now offering 'Little Rascal II' complete with a lever arch file crammed with drawings, plans, specifications and receipts from the build of this one-off classic, that inevitably ran into thousands of pounds.
- Splendidly-original early Land Rover and just three owners from new - Offered with a comprehensive history file including the original buff log book - Ex-military Series 1 2-litre petrol engine and extensively toured though Europe This splendidly-original early Land Rover has had just three owners from new. The supplying dealer was Windmill & Lewis of Bristol and the first keeper BBC Natural History Unit employee Mr Desmond Hawkins. In 1957 'PHT 188' was acquired by a Mr Unwin who used it as a site vehicle/tug on the caravan parks he owned in Somerset. An engine problem caused it to be rested in 1976, and it then stood in an open-sided shed until 2007, when it was rescued by a Land Rover enthusiast who passed it on to the vendor. He recommissioned rather than restored the vehicle, meaning it remains remarkably original with a pleasing degree of patina. It was totally dismantled, the chassis repaired, and the bulkhead replaced with a galvanised original item. The wheel and master cylinders were re-bored and sleeved in stainless steel. The brake lines were replaced to original specification and a new Autosparks wiring loom, Exmoor Trim seat bases and Undercover Covers hood installed. The current engine is an ex-military Series 1 2-litre petrol unit. Since completion this wonderful old Landy has been toured extensively throughout Europe and featured in many Land Rover publications. It comes complete with comprehensive history file, including the original buff log book.
- 2.5-litre engine, manual gearbox and colour-keyed hardtop - Offered with comprehensive service history and 34,505 recorded miles - MOT'd into September 2016 with 'no advisories' The chic two-seater Boxster was unveiled in late 1996 and was the first road-going Porsche since the 550 Spyder to be designed from scratch as a Roadster. It was penned by Dutch designer Harm Lagaay, who was also primarily responsible for the 968, 993, Cayenne, 996 and Carrera GT. The Boxster sobriquet was a contraction of 'boxer-engined roadster' - the newcomer being a convertible with water-cooled flat-six engine mounted amid-ships. At launch it was 2.5-litres in capacity, though increased to 2.7-litres in 2000. Its M96 engine was directly related to that in the 996, and the newcomer also shared that car's bonnet, front wings and headlights. Suspension was independent all round by MacPherson struts and coil springs, braking by power-assisted ventilated discs and steering by rack and pinion. The very tidy-looking 2.5-litre Boxster on offer was supplied new by the Stratstone Porsche Centre, Wilmslow in June 1999. It is a manual gearbox example that features Silver bodywork matched to a Black leather interior and comes complete with: colour-keyed hardtop, comprehensive service record from 2000 to January 2013 and 30,823 miles (the odometer now registers 34,505 miles), and an MOT that's valid to September 28 next year and is free of advisories.
- 1 of just 2 Porsche 911 Turbos reconfigured by bb to this specification - Exhibited at the 1986 Geneva Motor Show and only 10,921 recorded miles - Bespoke digital dashboard, upholstery and Blaupunkt stereo system etc This amazing-looking 911 Turbo Targa is one of just two created by German car designer Rainer Buchmann's Frankfurt-based bb company in 1985, at a cost of c.DM250,000. It was remodelled in steel, features standard Porsche 930 running gear - ie 3.3-litre flat-six engine and four-speed manual transmission - but boasts a highly innovative bb digital dashboard. Thirty years later, this extraordinary Porsche has reputedly covered just 10,921 miles. We are grateful to the vendor for the detail contained in the following background information. The Porsche these days registered `VOK 294' started life as a standard 1985 911 Turbo Coup£ that was delivered new to Charles Follett, London and allocated the registration `B911 XYB'. The car was Grand Prix White with contrasting Burgundy leather interior. So how did it obtain its Targa top and become adorned with a flat-nose front, 959-esque rear and Black and White hide interior? That's the question that Chris Healey, who bought the 911 back in 1990, set out to answer. "I wrote to Porsche who informed me that, as far as they knew, the car was a White 911 Turbo Coupe with limited-slip differential and colour coded alloy wheels." He eventually established the car's up-to-date identity by talking direct to bb's Rainer Buchmann who "straightaway confirmed that this was one of the last cars his company had worked on. bb (not b+b, or B+B), existed from the mid-1970s to mid-1980s, carrying out exclusive modifications to the cars of the always rich and often famous. Far from being a mere customiser, the firm was responsible for some major innovations in the automotive world, including remote central locking and the first fully functioning digital dashboard." Buchmann revealed: "The car has a 928-style front with original Porsche 928 lights, redesigned side sills, and a new rear fashioned by a Mexican I had working for me called Carlos Sanchez." bb based the Targa conversion on the shell of a standard 930 Coupe, re-strengthening the body as required. And where today's modifiers make extensive (and expensive) use of carbon fibre, back in the `80s the material of choice for most design houses was fibreglass. For bb though, steel was the best material for the job, as Buchmann said: "If it wasn't done in steel there would be vibrations where the existing steel and fibreglass met. This wasn't in keeping with the Porsche quality." The result of all bb's fettling is a 911 that looks totally bespoke, though it is worth noting that there were in fact two such cars built: this White right-hand drive example, and a left-hand drive one in Black, both of which were displayed on bb's stand at the 1986 Geneva Salon. Using the car for the next couple of years, Healey took the total mileage up to a scant 10,000 before putting it into storage. It was recommissioned in May 2004 via Loe Bank Motors, Bury at a cost of c. £4,000. The Porsche has since undergone a further period of hibernation (2006-2015) and thus its indicated mileage still only sits at a highly credible but unwarranted 10,921. Recent work has seen the Turbo Targa treated to a fully overhauled fuel metering unit, new injector (x6) and fresh tyres all round. A real 1980s throwback and wonderful period piece, this unique Porsche is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, copy magazine article, tool kit, bespoke stereo system and MOT certificate valid until November 2016.
- 1 of just 2,895 348 TB's built and 28,800 kilometres (18,000 miles) - Recent cambelt replacement and other maintenance by marque specialist - MOT certificate into October 2016 The apparently immaculate left-hand drive 348 TB now offered has had just two registered Italian owners from new and has covered a warranted total of 28,800 kilometres (18,000 miles). It was delivered new by Rome Ferrari dealer Samocar SpA to an Oscar Calzati on January 30th 1990. It passed to the second Italian keeper in September 2007, with whom it remained until purchased by the vendor who brought it to the UK. It has subsequently been entrusted to marque specialists Rardley Motors Ltd, who performed an engine-out cambelt replacement service, MOT test and other maintenance at a total cost of £3,842.10. The Ferrari is one of just 2,895 348 TBs built between 1989 and 1993 and is presented in the traditional combination of Rosso Corsa bodywork, Tan leather interior and Red carpets. The only departures from standard specification are colour-coded sills and valences as per the GTB, and a pair of Scuderia wing shields. The vendor currently classes the Ferrari's bodywork, paintwork and V8 engine as 'excellent' and is selling the car complete with original service book, handbook, leather wallet, selection of past invoices, MOT certificate into October 2016 and even the factory stencil for security etching the glass.
PLEASE NOTE: This lot has suffered a small electrical fire due to the battery terminals contacting the seat frame. There is damage to the seat and the battery has now been disconected. - Imported & UK registered in 1983 - Steering, Suspension and Engine overhauled in the 1990s - Re-painted in 2010 Microcars were born of the need for cheap short-distance transportation in the post-war years. The most successful was the Isetta, whose origins lay with the Italian firm of Iso SpA (Isetta is Italian for 'little Iso'), who went on to build some 1,000 or so. Many more were manufactured under licence in France, Belgium, Brazil, Britain and Germany, where they were manufactured by BMW, who made the model their own. Indeed, they re-engineered so much that none of the parts between a BMW Isetta and Iso Isetta are interchangeable. The 300 model was introduced in 1956, the obvious difference being the increase in capacity from 250cc to 298cc, raising output from 12bhp to 13bhp. While the torque improved, the top speed remained the same at 53mph. The sale car is a left-hand drive three-wheeled example manufactured in 1961 and imported to the UK in 1983. It was originally Red but these days sports eye-catching Yellow and Blue paintwork and is trimmed in Grey vinyl. The engine was apparently overhauled in 1996, while the suspension and steering were reconditioned in 1997, and the body repainted in 2010. A charming addition to any collection that currently displays an unwarranted 34,600 miles.
- 1 of just 911 Millennium Editions produced based on the Carrera 4 - 76,000 recorded miles, manual transmission and MOT'd into January 2016 - Offered with original book pack, well stamped service book and collection of invoices In celebration of the Millennium, Porsche created 911 special versions of its 996 Carrera 4 Coupe appropriately dubbed 'Millennium Edition', of which the right-hand drive sale car is a very rare example - so rare in fact that it is rumoured only three exist in the UK. Finished in the striking combination of Chromaflair Violet bodywork complemented by an interior trimmed in Tan hide and dark burr maple, the sale car on offer is No 373 and is equipped with the more desirable six speed manual gearbox. The odometer currently displays 76,400 miles. Inside can be found: SAT/NAV; electric / heated seats with lumbar support; air conditioning; sunroof; 6-stack CD; phone; cruise control; computer; and tinted glass with graduation on front screen. The sports suspension is 10mm lower than standard, the gearchange has a short-shift conversion, a stainless steel exhaust system is fitted and the bumpers have been upgraded to Turbo spec by Techart. The vendor grades the bodywork, engine and transmission as 'excellent' and the paintwork and interior trim as 'good', and is selling this unique car complete with extensive Porsche main dealer history, original book pack and service book, collection of invoices and old MOT's.
- 1 of just 1,202 'Big Bore' 4.5 litre cars made - Supplied new to Colonel Louis Edge in Northern Ireland - Previous long term ownership and re-trimmed interior in Beige leather Bentley's MKVI was the first vehicle ever offered by the company with factory-designed coachwork, and the first to be assembled in Rolls-Royce's Crewe factory rather than the old Derby premises. Its sizeable, X-braced chassis featured hydraulic front brakes and independent coil and wishbone front suspension. Power came from the new six-cylinder unit first seen in the short-lived MKV Saloon. Initially 4257cc but later enlarged to 4566cc (for the rarer `Big Bore' version of which just 1,202 were made), it featured an F-Type alloy head. The adjoining four-speed manual gearbox had synchromesh on all but first gear. Among the first batch of MKVIs to be fitted with the larger and more powerful 4566cc `Big Bore' engine, chassis B68MD was manufactured during July 1951. Reportedly supplied new to Colonel Louis Edge in Northern Ireland, the Bentley still sports its original number plate - 1990 KZ - but was re-registered with the English authorities on 6th March 1963 (or so its V5 registration document implies). Said to have been restored during the 1990s but to now require some TLC to its bodywork, this increasingly sought after `Big Bore' MKVI is finished in Black over Cream with a re-trimmed Beige hide interior.
- 32,159 recorded miles and Irish test certificate valid to May 13 next year - New clutch fitted in 2013 and serviced in 2011 - History file comprising of parts list, collection of invoices and old MoT's The 122 S was the performance model of Volvo's 120 (Amazon) Series of cars designed in-house by Jan Wilsgaard and introduced in 1956. Unlike the slant-backed PV444/544, the newcomer was a modern-looking three-box design. Power came from a new OHV in-house unit initially of 1.4-litres, but increased to 1.6, 1.8 and eventually 2.0-litre capacity over the model's 14-year lifespan. Suspension was independent at the front and by live axle, torque arms and coil springs at the rear. Braking was initially by drums all-round with discs becoming standard at the front from 1964. This very original-looking righthand drive 122 S is finished in light Blue and trimmed in Cream. It displays an unwarranted total mileage of just 32,159 and is regarded by the vendor as 'very good' in relation to its four-door bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, 1.8-litre engine and four-speed manual gearbox. Offered with history file which includes a parts list, old MoT's and a collection invoices from marque specialist Amazon cars we are informed that in 2013 a new clutch was fitted and serviced in 2011. 'NFB 743' comes complete with an Irish test certificate valid to May 13 next year.
- Uprated 454ci (7.4 litre) V8, 4-speed manual, flared wheelarches etc - Only one registered keeper since being imported to the UK in 1996 - Soft-top and hardtop roofs, side-exit exhaust pipes and wire wheels One of two fascinating 'barn find' C3 Chevrolets being offered in this sale, this left-hand drive Stingray vacated the Corvette production line in October 1969 and was one of 16,633 Convertible versions produced during that model year. It has had one registered keeper since being imported to the UK in 1996 and its last tax disc expired during July 1997. Whilst in the US, the Chevy was reputedly modified for drag racing and nowadays features a 454ci (7.4-litre) V8 that drives through a four-speed manual gearbox to wider than standard wire wheels and tyres sited under flared wheel arches. The engine (the block casting number of which is 3999289) features an Edelbrock manifold, 'Ram Flo' air filter and finned rocker covers, and Holley carburettor. The 'Big Block' powerplant exhausts through a pair of beefy side pipes. The odometer currently registers an unwarranted 32,709 miles and the vendor classes the bodywork, Deep Red paintwork, Red/Grey striped cloth trim, engine and transmission as all being in 'barn find' order. It is now rare to find these classic Stingrays in unrestored condition and, being sold without reserve, 'TKF 107G' will surely make a very interesting restoration project for one of the model's many enthusiasts.
- Extensively restored and modified by Severn Classics - Speedwell Monza-style bonnet, Dan Dare removable hardtop - Engine / g'box / diff overhauled, new wiring, fuel system, brakes Starting out life as a standard Austin-Healey Sprite MKIII, `GBJ 689J' was purchased by the vendor from its previous owner of twenty-eight years and entrusted to Severn Classics of Cradley, West Midlands for a thorough makeover and upgrade. Stripped to a bare chassis, the Sprite had its metalwork repaired as necessary before being fitted with a new recreation fibreglass Sebring Sprite body, Speedwell Monza-style bonnet and refurbished steel doors. Work carried out on the mechanicals consisted briefly of: overhauled 1275cc engine (new pistons and piston rings etc), refurbished carburetors, rejuvenated 4-speed standard gearbox, overhauled differential and new wiring loom / fuel system / brakes. Finished in Jaguar Quartz (silver/blue) with a Black `Dan Dare' roof and Red upholstery, the two-seater is described by the vendor as being in `excellent' order with regard to its bodywork, paintwork and interior trim, while he rates the engine, gearbox and electrical equipment as `very good'. Built with excitement in mind but not neglecting comfort, the Sprite still retains its original winding windows, comfy yet supportive seats, carpeting throughout and the removable hard top. The history file comprises a photographic record of works done, a V5C and current MOT valid until June 2016.
- Privately stored for 30 years until restoration in 1998/99 - VA engine fitted during restoration - From 1999 to 2014 garaged whilst not in use The smart TA offered was purchased by the vendor's husband when he was just 17 years old. He then ran and maintained the car for three years before dismantling and storing it for the next 30. Scroll forward to 1998/1999 when 'ERA 433' was treated to a restoration by John Selway, during which a 1549cc VA engine was installed in place of the original 1292cc unit (the latter still exists in pieces) - as the vendor explains 'the car was rebuilt to drive, not to show'. And indeed it was used up until October 2014, since when it has been dry stored. The righthand drive MG is presented for sale in the pleasing combination of Black bodywork teamed with Red leather interior trim. The vendor nowadays grades the bodywork, paintwork, engine and four-speed manual gearbox as 'very good' and the interior as 'excellent'. The TA model was introduced in 1936 following the sale of the MG company to Morris Motors. It featured that firm's OHV engine which had better pulling power than the OHC unit of the outgoing PB, while an increase in length and width endowed the interior with considerably more space and comfort. Hydraulic brakes were another welcome addition.
- Original V8 overhauled and converted to unleaded 13,750 miles ago - Beige upholstery, Black soft-top, automatic, MOT'd till Aug 2016 - Said to 'sound and drive superbly' The British-built Stag was designed to compete with the established SL models from Mercedes-Benz. Like the Triumph 2000 it was developed from, it was styled by Italian maestro Giovanni Michelotti and featured the monocoque construction, fully independent suspension, disc/drum brakes, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and driveline of that Saloon. The powerplant, however, was an all-new OHC V8 of 2997cc capacity, which in the majority of cases was teamed with the optional Borg-Warner three-speed automatic transmission. Production of the Stag ran from 1970 to 1977, during which some 25,939 examples were made - around 9,000 of which are believed to remain in the UK. 'HNL 432N' is presented in the attractive combination of deep Charmaine Red bodywork, Black hood and Beige interior trim. It is a right-hand drive home market model with the optional automatic transmission. Its V8 engine is apparently the original unit that, 13,750 miles ago, was overhauled and converted for use with unleaded fuel. The vendor informs us that the Triumph 'sounds and drives superbly' and he currently classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, eight-cylinder engine and gearbox as all being in 'very good' condition. The car comes complete with tow hook and the related additional number plate.
- Refurbished 1380cc engine with tuned 45DCOE Weber carburettor - Subject to a bare metal repaint and retrimmed interior - Offered with an MOT certificate into August 2016 This Longbridge-built Mini started out life as a 1989 Mayfair model, but has recently been reborn as a bespoke 1380cc-powered example packed with special features. The restoration was carried out by the Highway Service Automotive Centre of Beeston, Notts. The car was completely disassembled and the bodyshell stripped to bare metal and repainted in Black over White livery. The seats were re-trimmed with White piping and stitching and 1380 sewn into the headrests. The many other related new parts fitted included: windscreen with top tint, roof lining, seat belts, Monte Carlo door panels and walnut dash and door caps, alloy/wood steering wheel and matching gear knob, underlay and carpets, stereo radio/CD with iPod and Bluetooth connectivity, plus speakers on the parcel shelf and secreted behind front air vents. The subframes were stripped, welded as required, powder coated and reassembled with poly bushes. Other new mechanical parts included: competition clutch, master and slave cylinders, brake system, Minilite style wheels and Yokohama tyres, electronic ignition, electric fuel pump, battery, Scorpio alarm and quadruple spotlights. Before re-insertion the 1380cc A-Series engine was refurbished and equipped with a professionally-tuned 45DCOE Weber carburettor. This unique almost as-new Mini comes complete with MOT to August 11th 2016.
- Rare 'Super Imp' with enhanced interior / exterior trim and courtesy lights etc - Dry stored for years and showing a credible but unwarranted 34,000 miles - Recent new battery, starter motor, clutch, service, carburettor overhaul and MOT Launched in 1963, the Imp was the Rootes Group's counter to the already ubiquitous Mini. It was manufactured in the tiny town of Lindwood, Scotland and designed by Michael Parks and Tim Fry. The result was decidedly innovative and reportedly the first mass-produced car equipped with an all-alloy engine and the first volume-made British one to have its powerplant mounted in the rear. Other notable design features at launch that were unavailable on most cars of the period included: an opening rear hatch; folding rear seat; automatic choke (later replaced!), and gauges for engine temperature, oil pressure and battery voltage. The upmarket Super Imp variant arrived in September 1965, co-incident with the MKII version of the standard car. It brought additional brightwork; over-riders; dummy front grille; wheel trims; full carpet; added sound-proofing; and a generally upgraded interior, including door-operated courtesy lights and integral ashtrays. This delightful-looking home market Super Imp exited a long period of hibernation in 2011 and its impressive unmolested condition suggests (but not guarantees) the indicated mileage of just 34,000 could well be correct. Recent replacements include: clutch, starter motor and battery, while 'XTU 226E' has also been serviced and its brakes and the Solex carburettor overhauled.
- Huge history file - 3.0 Essex V6 engine and stainless steel exhaust - Internal roll cage and 3 point harnesses Unveiled at the 1968 London Motor Show, the Marcos 3-litre was initially powered by Ford's venerable Essex V6 developing some 140 bhp and providing 120 mph performance. Volvo and Triumph units were later also used. Production commenced in January 1969 and demand from America meant the factory was producing three cars a week and looking to expand its premises by the end of the year. Sadly, with US federal regulations getting ever more stringent and demand drying up the company was forced to pull out of the American market. This, coupled with VAT being introduced on kit cars in the UK and the cost of developing the Mantis, meant the firm was forced to close in 1971. Production would not recommence until 1981. Powered by an Essex V6 engine coupled to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive, this car's specification includes an internal rollcage, 3-point harness, electronic ignition, stainless steel exhaust, 13" Mini Lite alloys and Pipercross filters. Described as having "good" bodywork, engine and transmission with "average" paint it is offered with Swansea V5 and is expected to possess a fresh MoT by the time of sale.
- Sought after 130/5 model with 'Big Valve' engine and 5-speed gearbox - Extensive past body restoration including replacement chassis - Documented history, Oatmeal upholstery, 'Minilite' wheels and 'no advisories' MOT The Elan+2 could so easily have been an automotive dog's dinner and there are numerous examples from rival marques of how adding space so often destroys both pace and grace. But the ever-resourceful Ron Hickman proved more than up to the task of adding two seats to his original masterpiece. No longer did a new father have to forsake his sports car when the kids came along, he just bought an Elan +2 and installed them in the back. By the time of the final iteration, the +2S 130/5 complete with more powerful 130bhp DOHC engine and five-speed manual gearbox, he could transport them with speed as well as comfort, as that could sprint to 60mph in 7.4 seconds and top 120mph. Moreover, thanks to efficient aerodynamics, fuel consumption remained within the range of 25 to 31 mpg. Though a total of 5,200 +2s of all types were made, it is understood fewer than 1,200 remain, so it's small wonder that good examples of this beautifully styled and very practical model have become increasingly sought after over the years. 'RMS 860M' is from the penultimate year of manufacture and therefore boasts the optimum +2S 130/5 specification. It is finished in the eye-catching colour of Carnival Red and trimmed in Oatmeal-coloured cloth/vinyl. In 1991 it was treated to an extensive restoration based around a replacement chassis. Detailed attention has been given to the engine, clutch, driveshafts, brakes, suspension and wheel bearings, and the Lotus these days rides on a set of genuine knock-on Minilite wheels. The vendor currently classifies the +2 as having 'very good' engine, transmission and interior trim and 'good' bodywork and paintwork, and is selling the car complete with history file containing almost £10,000 of receipts from leading specialists, plus photos of the restoration.
PLEASE NOTE: We are advised that this vehicle does not have an MOT and will require a replacement kingpin and bushes. The vendor will supply the kingpin to the successful purchaser. - RHD conversion - Manufactured by Karmann in 1962 and first registered in 1963 - The subject of much restoration work Launched in 1948, the design of the Porsche 356 had been a collaboration between `Ferry' Porsche, the son of the company's founder, and its chief body engineer Erwin Komenda. The first examples were handcrafted from aluminium in Gmund, Austria. With materials in short supply following the war, the model initially employed many parts from the Volkswagen Beetle (the car famously designed by Porsche Senior). However, within two years it had been considerably re-engineered, while production had moved to Zuffenhausen in Germany. The bodies were now made of steel. Debuting in 1955, the 356A benefited from uprated running gear and various tweaks to its all-round independent torsion bar suspension. Lasting for four years, it gave way to the more US-orientated 356B in 1959. Equipped with a 1600cc four-cylinder unit as standard, this latter model underwent a facelift in 1961 when its heavily criticised T-5 bodyshell was replaced by the T-6. Benefiting from larger front / rear windscreens, reprofiled bumpers and a sleeker roofline, it remains for many the ultimate 356 silhouette. This 60hp T-6 B was built by Karmann in 1962 and first registered in 1963. Sold new in America, it was imported to Ireland in 1998 since when it has had two previous owners, the penultimate since 2005. Converted to right-hand drive and recently acquired following a period of storage, the vendor advises it has been the subject of much restoration work at some point but that sadly no paperwork exists giving details. Finished in Yellow with Red vinyl interior and registering some 83,000 miles, it is described as "driving well" with "very good" shut lines and bodywork, "fair" paintwork, "good" interior and "very good" original engine breathing through Zenith 32NDIX carburettors. Retaining 6V electrics, it is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche GB and is expected to possess a fresh MoT in time for the sale.
- Current ownership for the past 14 years and MOT'd till Oct 2016 - Granada based and professionally converted by Coleman Milne - Said to have given 'trouble free service' as part of a wedding hire fleet The Dorchester MKVII was a stretched version of the Ford Granada. The conversion was carried out by the renowned coachbuilder Coleman Milne, which has been adapting vehicles for weddings, funerals and other special purposes since its foundation in 1953. Powered by Ford's lusty 3-litre V6 engine and driving through an automatic gearbox, it featured a division and row of additional rear seats, providing room for a total of six passengers. The right-hand drive example on offer was manufactured in June 1987 and for the last 14 years has served as the second car for a wedding hire business. It is finished in Ivory and topped by a Black vinyl roof, while the cavernous interior is trimmed in Grey leather. The vendor informs us that 'it has been an excellent member of his fleet and never given any trouble. It always starts first time and the engine consumes no oil. The sale is a reluctant one and has only been brought about by the need to downsize'. He currently classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim and transmission as 'good' and the Ford V6 as 'excellent'. He is now offering the Dorchcester complete with an MOT valid to October 7th 2016.
