- Uprated with 6-cyl engine and 5-speed gearbox This extremely-smart TR4 was manufactured in October 1963. An export model, it was delivered new to the USA, where it remained until repatriated in 1990. In recent times it has been treated to a detailed, body off restoration and conversion to righthand drive. The extensive work included numerous upgrades including the fitment of a later 6-cyl engine, which was refurbished by Maidstone Sports Cars, now featuring a Stage 2 cylinder head; triple SU carburettors; stainless steel, six branch inlet manifold and sports exhaust; electronic ignition; baffled sump etc. The unit drives through a replacement five-speed gearbox supplied by TR Bitz. The chassis benefits from webs and fillets on all joints and reinforced suspension towers. The brake and suspension systems have both been substantially uprated and a 68-litre fuel tank installed. This very special Triumph nowadays rides on original Minilite wheels shod with Vredestein 185/15 tyres and comes with invoices totalling c.£14,500, spare key, restoration photos, old invoices, old MOTs, and one to March 28, 2016.

Introduced in 1965, the MGB GT was a more comfortable and versatile proposition than its roadster sister. With a top speed of over 100mph courtesy of its 1798cc B-series engine and a capable chassis featuring independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering and disc / drum brakes, the enclosed 2+2-seater merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'. Finished in Red with Black vinyl upholstery, 'XJR 531J' is described by the vendor as being in 'excellent' condition with regard to its engine, four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim and paintwork, while he rates the bodywork as 'very good'. Extensively restored in the early 2000s, work is understood to have included: a thorough bodywork refurbishment and bare metal repaint plus gearbox, suspension, rear axle and engine overhauls (the latter two being further enhanced via the fitment of an anti-roll bar and Stage 1 camshaft respectively). Some 12,000 miles later the B GT is still said to 'simply drive like new'. Riding on Rostyle wheels, this smart MG is offered for sale with a V5C Registration Document and large history file containing invoices for the thousands of pounds spent on parts during its rejuvenation.

- Striking LHD example with cosmetic Challenge Stradale modifications: wheels, stripe, front bumper, rear grill, trimmed roll bar, harness - 58,000km with German registration documentation Introduced in 1999 as a replacement for the F355, the 360 Modena was named in honour of Enzo Ferrari's birthplace and featured an entirely new space frame chassis which was 40% stiffer and 28% lighter than that of its predecessor. Powered by a 3.6-litre V8 coupled to either a manual or F1 electrohydraulic manual transmission, the 360's lighter weight improved the 0-60 mph dash to just 4.2 seconds with a nominal top speed of 189mph. In 2001, a spyder version was introduced followed in 2003 by the ultimate incarnation - the 360 racing series inspired Challenge Stradale - featuring a number of weight saving and tuning modifications by the factory. This striking LHD example, registering some 58,000 km on its odometer, is finished in grey with beige leather and was supplied new by Testarossa Cars SA of Madrid. An email from Ferrari Hanover states red brake callipers, rear challenge grill, front challenge grills, road legal roll bar, and 4 point safety harnesses were all factory specified. In 2003 the car was purchased by its second owner through Pozzi Charles SA in France via a dealer in Bayonne. In 2009 the car was registered in Germany where two further owners have been recorded. The vendor informs us the car will have received a cambelt service prior to the sale and that the service book contains 6 stamps, the most recent from a specialist in July 2015. Service stamps and receipts originate from France, Luxemburg, Germany and Ireland whilst the German TUV test expired in August 2015. Described as being in "very good" condition in regards to its bodywork, paintwork, interior, engine and transmission, the car is EU registered (German documents) and is accompanied by a complete tool kit and book pack including Ferrari torch and file of receipts.

Chassis 877200 is a beautiful and recently restored example of a Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Roadster Series 1. With matching numbers, this left hand drive example was sold new to a Mr. P Reneira Jr, of Half Moon Bay in northern California, USA. The vendor believes that the car remained in the USA all of its life until he acquired it immediately after its importation into England in early 2014. He has since had the E-Type restored to what he describes as an "excellent" standard. The enormous number of invoices on file describe how the car was stripped and repainted during the restoration with many new items fitted that were obtained from the leading classic Jaguar parts suppliers. These included new wire wheels, a new steering wheel, a new black folding roof, overhauled dash board instruments, new leather seat trim and carpets to the interior, and a fully detailed suspension and under-carriage area. The engine was also overhauled with a very detailed description of the works carried out in the file. Finished in silver paint with a black leather interior and folding roof, this E-Type is offered with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate and numerous restoration records/invoices and a V5C registration document.

The final iteration of the XK sportscar line and the last Jaguar to carry a separate chassis, the XK150 was introduced in May 1957. While its use of independent torsion-bar front suspension, a 'live' leaf-sprung rear axle and rack-and-pinion steering mirrored the practice of its XK140 predecessor, the new model benefited from the option of all-round Dunlop disc brakes (though, in practice very few - if any - cars were delivered with drum brakes). Stylistically, the newcomer was brought up-to-date with less ostentatious curves and a larger, wrap-around single piece windscreen. The dashboard too was altered eschewing wood trim for padded leather. With the E-type still very much under development, Jaguar was keen to sustain the sporting reputation that a remarkable five Le Mans victories (1951, 1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957) had earned it. Initially powered by a 3442cc derivative of the marque's race-proven DOHC straight-six engine, the XK150 could be had in Fixed-Head Coupe, Open Two-Seater (Roadster) or Drophead Coupe guises. More expensive than the other bodystyles, the soft-top coupe boasted occasional rear seats and a fully lined hood. Ticking the 'Special Equipment' box on the order form resulted in the following upgrades: B-type cylinder head, overdrive, twin-exhaust system and wire wheels. With a claimed 210hp on tap, the 'SE' 3.4 Litre cars were reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds and 124mph. Total right-hand drive XK150 Drophead Coupe production is thought to have amounted to just 663 cars (for both 3.4 litre and 3.8 litre variants). Unsurprisingly, survivors are highly prized by collectors. According to the copy Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate on file, this particular right-hand drive XK150 SE 3.4 Drophead Coupe was manufactured on 1st September 1959. Supplied new via J.R. Inwards Ltd of Ruislip to Messrs F.G. Ruggles Ltd of Hounslow some twenty days later, the Jaguar initially sported the number plate 'R 80' but has since been re-registered as '421 HYR'. The subject of a very thorough, 'chassis up / body off' restoration in recent years, the 2+2-seater has been upgraded with a Kenlowe fan, alloy header tank and Coopercraft front wheel brakes. The engine number visible on the cylinder head matches that shown on its chassis plate and heritage certificate. Starting readily upon inspection and remaining highly presentable, this attractive 'home market' XK150 SE 3.4 Drophead Coupe is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, numerous restoration photographs and fresh MOT certificate.

It was in 1934 that BMW began work on the car that would largely underpin its immediate future, the 326. The development was the responsibility of Fritz Fiedler and Alfred B÷ning and the design that of Peter Schimanowski. It was powered by a six-cylinder OHV engine of 1971cc and featured such advanced technical features as hydraulic braking and rack and pinion steering. It was offered in Saloon, and both two and four-door Convertible guises. In 1936 came the immortal 328 Roadster, the stunning two-seater that dominated the 2-litre race class in which it competed and achieved outright victory in the 1940 Mille Miglia. Somewhat confusingly, the less dramatic but graceful and highly successful 327 followed a year behind the 328, and was aimed at an altogether different market. A four-seater motorcar based on a shortened version of the 326 chassis, it was offered as a two-door Coupe or Cabriolet. There were two engine options, the more powerful of which utilised the lusty unit from the 328. Records show that 1,965 327s were built between 1937 and 1941, and a further 505 between 1946 and when production of the model ceased in 1955. The styling was again the work of Peter Schimanowski and lent itself to the two-tone paintwork that adorned many examples of the breed. The magnificent lefthand drive sale car was manufactured by Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW) in December 1939. It features White Cabriolet bodywork contrasted by White-piped Black interior trim and was equipped from new with the more powerful of the engine options, that's fed by an impressive trio of carburettors. The BMW's history file contains a copy of a previous V5 showing that prior to March 1988 it was owned by an Alan Warner of Itchen Abbas near Winchester. In March 1988 the registration was changed in favour of Waxoyl, then of Radlett, Herts. However, it would seem that to all intents and purposes it was still Warner's car, and it was through him the vendor acquired it in February 1990. At this point it was entrusted to TT Workshops of Westbury, Wiltshire, who set about restoring the chassis, body, mechanical components and electrical system. The BMW has subsequently been used in Italy, France, Switzerland and the UK without any problems, and the vendor currently classes the bodywork, interior trim, engine and transmission as 'good', and the paintwork as 'fair'. A splendid-looking period BMW of enduringly practical design.

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 bodyshell, bigger brakes and larger wheels. The righthand drive Red Label offered hails from 2000 and matches eye-catching Red bodywork to a Cream hide interior. It's had two former keepers and the vendor presently grades the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and automatic transmission as 'very good'. The impressive service record confirms the indicated mileage of c.62,000 and this impressive Bentley comes complete with all original books, manuals and history file with invoices for £20,000.

Synonymous with the swinging '60s, the MKII is one of the most widely admired of all Jaguar Saloons and as cherished by the bank robbers of its time as the police who pursued them. It was at its most formidable when equipped with the 220bhp 3.8-litre engine. The MkII 3.8 saloon on offer left the Browns Lane Coventry works in 1963 and is finished in light metallic maroon. Believed to have had just four private keepers from new the last of whom took possession in 2004 'LEA 175' is thought to have covered just 1,700 dry miles whilst in his care. We understand that the 60,725 miles displayed when entered for is likely to the genuine total mileage since new. The vendor informs us it is a lovely original-spec motor car with factory-fit power-steering, clean bodywork and paintwork, super original beige leather interior, and with both 3.8-litre 6-cylinder engine and 3-speed automatic transmission reportedly in 'good' working order. Offered with a collection of old MOT'S, tax discs and invoices including one dating from 1969 from Henley's of London this clearly loved example and is offered with a current MOT certificate into September 2016.

The Bentley S1 Standard Steel Saloon replaced the R-Type standard steel saloon in 1955. Improved from its predecessor by not just offering seating for five adults, but also a more comfortable arrangement thanks to three extra inches in the wheelbase, enlarged headroom and even bigger boot space. The ride was improved by softer suspension and improved braking which helped to counter the increase in power and engine capacity, which now, with 4887cc was propelled through a four-speed automatic gearbox. Finished in Dark Blue with light Blue leather interior 'UXF 805' has been subject to recent improvement having been re-painted, all the wood being re-veneered and the interior trim being re-connolised and repaired where necessary. The Engine bay has also been cleaned and re-painted, the Carburettor overhauled with a replacement gearbox fitted all of which has been over seen by J.K Engineering Ltd of Biggleswade over 2013/2014. Offered with history file comprising of the original handbooks, 20 old mot certificates dating back to 1963, collection of old invoices and original tool kit this handsome Bentley has just returned from a 200 mile round trip to the Goodwood Revival and is ready to be enjoyed by its new keeper.

- Comprehensive history - Recent full engine service - 60,000 genuine miles Ferrari introduced the 365GT4 2+2 at the 1972 Paris Salon, which with an increase in capacity from 4.4 to 4.8-litres and other more minor changes evolved into the 400 that debuted at the same event in 1976. Fuel injection then replaced the 400's six 38DCOE Webers to create the 400i first seen in 1979. 'HYE 100W' hails from 1981. Its bodywork is finished in Rosso Corsa that's teamed with a luxurious Magnolia-coloured hide interior. It is a genuine righthand drive example equipped with the optional automatic transmission. The vendor informs us that the 60,000 miles displayed is correct, and presently regards the Prancing Horse's gearbox and interior trim as 'good' and the bodywork, paintwork and V12 engine as 'fair'. He is selling the Ferrari complete with no less than two folders full of receipts and other paperwork, including a bill concerning the engine service carried out last year by marque specialist Keys Motorsport of Silverstone.

- Restored example of the Spanish-built Mini Cooper S - 1340cc engine and 5-speed gearbox - Detailed history file with images of the works carried out As a way of accessing the Spanish market, BMC licensed Authi of Pamplona to produce a number of its models including the Mini. Volume production commenced in 1969 and by the time the company was sold to SEAT in 1976 some 2000 Coopers had been produced. This extremely smart LHD example was restored by Mini World in Spain between 2001 and 2005 and features leather interior, wooden dash, electric windows, central locking and period radio with ipod connection. Images of the work are contained in the accompanying history file along with a copy of the Spanish registration papers and invoices dating back to the 1980s. Featuring a 1340cc engine and 5-speed gearbox, 'Delilah' displays some 6043 miles on her odometer which is believed to have been zeroed during the restoration. Finished in blue with black leather piped white, she comes with a Swansea V5C and MoT to July 2016.

By the time Ford dispensed (at least temporarily) with the Thunderbird moniker in 2005, the model had progressed through no less than 11 generations. It had also been immortalised by the Beach Boys' hit song Fun Fun Fun. The first generation car hit the streets in October 1954 and, while it was created in direct response to Chevrolet's Corvette, Ford's emphasis was more on comfort than overt sportiness. Though sleeker than most of its Ford siblings, it shared many of their components and the V8 engine was borrowed from the company's Mercury division. The splendid 'matching numbers' T-Bird offered is from the last year of the First Generation model, during which no less than 21,380 examples were sold. Finished in Battleship Grey and trimmed in an eye-catching shade of Red, this fancy Ford is powered by the rare 312ci so-called 'E Code' powerplant that uses a pair of four barrel Holley carburettors and period correct aircleaner to help deliver 270hp. Most of the option boxes have been ticked and this car's comprehensive specification includes: electrically controlled windows and seats; power steering; tinted glass; Black soft top; porthole hard top; and radio. The Ford is understood to retain its original paintwork and to be largely unrestored. Despite never having been overhauled, the engine is said to produce plenty of power and the total mileage is believed but (unwarranted) to be c.64,000. In recent times the T-Bird has benefited from new: dampers; tyres; radiator (new old stock); exhaust system and fuel tank. The following have been overhauled: transmission; front suspension; braking system; power steering (including control valve); starter; and generator. The vendor says the Ford 'runs and drives anywhere without hesitation, even over a long distance, and the whole car is in remarkably original condition and complete with rare colour combination'.

- 308 cu in straight-six engine with 'Power Dome' cylinder head and 'Twin H-Power' Carter carburettors - 'Step Down' chassis with independent front suspension, live rear axle and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes - Hudson Hornets won 22 of the 37 NASCAR Grand National Races in 1953 (the marque also dominated the 1952 and 1954 seasons) - Automatic transmission, DeLuxe radio, dual exhaust, 12-volt alternator update, electronic ignition, electric fan - Believed but not warranted to have covered less than 40,000 miles Hudson's low-slung Hornet model was produced between 1951 and 1954, and from 1952 onwards featured the previously optional `Twin H-Power' engine as standard - essentially a 308ci (5.0-litre) straight-six unit with a twin carburettor induction system incorporating notably large orange-cased filters. The output ex-factory was 170bhp, however, the unit was capable of far higher figures in the hands of such Works-supported stock car drivers as Marshall Teague, Herb Thomas and Tim Flock. Hudson was the first manufacturer to get truly involved in this branch of motorsport and completely dominated the scene throughout the early `50s. Teague finished the 1952 AAA season with a 1,000-point lead over his nearest rival, winning 12 out of the scheduled 13 events in his `Fabulous Hudson Hornet'. In total, Hudsons won 27 of the 34 NASCAR Grand National races in 1952, 22 of 37 in 1953 and 17 of 34 in 1954 - quite a record for a road car with genuine luxury credentials! Finished in Cream over Dark Metallic Green with Green / Grey cloth upholstery, this stylish Hornet Club Coupe is reportedly equipped with a special order `7X' engine that allies a 232 cylinder head and uprated exhaust headers to the aforementioned `Twin H-Power' carburettors. The Hudson is also understood to benefit from a 12-volt alternator conversion, electronic ignition and electric fan, and is thought by the vendor to have travelled less than 40,000 miles from new. He presently rates the meaty engine as `superb', and the two-door bodywork, two-tone paintwork, plush interior trim, and automatic transmission as all being in `very good' order. In summary he volunteers that `the Hornet is in very good overall condition, and runs and drives very nicely'. A pleasing example of a rare breed, the motorsport versions of which were simply unbeatable in their day.

PLEASE NOTE: There are a large amount of parts, including two engines, for this vehicle located near the Documents Office.   Introduced in October 1930, the Series 370-A was Cadillac's first V12 engined model. Essentially a scaled down version of the marque's magnificent Series 452 V16 range that had been launched the previous year, it was similarly engineered by Ernest Seaholm and Owen Nacker. Available with 140-, 143- or 150inch wheelbases, its massive chassis was equipped with all round leaf-sprung suspension and fifteen-inch vacuum servo-assisted drum brakes. Like its V16 sibling, the V12 featured a heavily stylised engine bay in which ancillary components were largely hidden from view and the motor itself presented as a piece of monolithic sculpture. To maintain this illusion even when running the advanced unit boasted hydraulically rotated eccentric bushings to dampen the noise from its overhead valve system. With a bore and stroke of 3.125inches x 4inches, the 45? V12 displaced over 6,000cc. Reputed to develop 135hp @ 3,400rpm together with prodigious torque, it was mated to a three-speed manual gearbox that carried synchromesh on its upper two ratios. Utilising a three-quarter floating back axle housing a spiral bevel differential, it could be had with a bewildering range of different bodystyles by both Fischer and Fleetwood (though the latter were responsible for all interiors). One of just three such Coupes known to exist, chassis 1000451 was purchased new by a mine owner as a present for his wife. Resident in the dry state of New Mexico thereafter, the Cadillac still retains traces of its original Black paint and Grey upholstery. Seemingly taken off the road with engine trouble, the Coupe comes with a spare V12 as well as its original powerplant. Substantially complete, this extremely rare and attractive Cadillac has been duty paid into the EU and is offered for sale as a worthwhile restoration project complete with 1952 New Mexico title document.

PLEASE NOTE: This bespoke Mustang had circa £39,000 spent on parts alone during its refurbishment / upgrading (and not $39,000 as stated in the printed catalogue).   - Sole known survivor from 40 Jan '66 Ford Amsterdam-built cars - Extensively reworked by Bakard Customs and Restorations (2010-2015) - c.£39,000 spent on parts alone, 302ci V8, auto, uprated running gear Only 19 of the Mustang's built by Ford's Amsterdam plant in the September 1965 to August 1966 model year are currently accounted for, and just one of 40 from January 1966. That car was imported to the UK 10 years later and had experienced eight changes of owner and one colour switch before being purchased in June 2010 by Colchester-based Bakard Customs And Restorations. The company has since invested c.£39,000 on parts alone in repairing and customising every aspect of `PLW 934R'. The engine is a 302ci (5-litre) Ford V8 unit from 1987 that features an upgraded camshaft, Edlebrock manifold, Hedman Hedders and full stainless steel Flowmaster exhaust. The automatic transmission has been upgraded to Stage 1 specification by an Essex-based specialist and comes with a lifetime warranty. The braking has been greatly improved courtesy of a hidden power booster and Baer SS4 conversion that includes vented, grooved and drilled discs. The suspension comprises all new standard specification components, plus a one-inch lowering kit and KYB dampers. The sumptuous Satin Black interior has been customised with TMI black Pony racing seats, full Dynamat soundproofing, Bakard instruments, and classic-looking modern stereo and speakers with USB connection. The truly dramatic-looking exterior is finished in Suzuki Candy Max Orange Pearl and benefits from moulded side air scoops, Maier racing bootlid, custom front bumper and headlight surrounds, smoked 2009 model year Mustang headlights, de-guttering of the roof, and black-centred knock-on alloy wheels. This immaculate-looking left-hand drive pony car is effectively an `all-but-new' vehicle, with only the roof, centre tunnel, inner wings and some items of glassware now remaining from the original Dutch-manufactured Mustang. It comes complete with an extensive history file that details the build, all related parts invoices etc. A truly awesome machine that will surely set the blood pumping within muscle car enthusiasts everywhere.

- 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.

- 1 of approximately 10 survivors known to the Riley Register It was its model 9 of 1926 that really put Riley on the map which, thanks to its lusty 1087cc twin-camshaft engine, soon found success in competition, further boosting the order book. This splendidly-presented Kestrel variant features Cream over Green bodywork and a Green hide interior, and rides on Cream-painted wired wheels. It was evidently restored some 15 years ago and, following a period of regular use, has been dry stored since 2012. The engine has been uprated to 'Merlin' specification courtesy of high-lift camshafts, Omega pistons and twin carburettors and drives through a manual, 'all helical' gearbox. 'ASJ 214' benefits from the recent fitment of new brakes, Blockley tyres and inner tubes and is being offered complete with tool kit, manuals and spare parts. The vendor currently rates the bodywork (complete with sliding sunroof), two-tone paintwork and transmission as 'excellent', and enhanced engine and leather interior trim as 'superb'. This delightful Riley currently displays an unwarranted mileage of 57,000.

Introduced in 1929 as a successor to the outgoing 20, the Rolls-Royce 20/25 was primarily aimed at owner drivers. Nearly 4,000 chassis were produced, making it the company's best-selling model between the wars. The example offered here is in running order and described by the vendor as having the 'potential for a rolling restoration' - he currently classes the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as 'fair'. According to Tom C. Clarke's book on the model, chassis GED26 was fitted with engine No.F6N and taken off test on June 6, 1934. It was then despatched to coachbuilder William Arnold - the first owner of the resulting four-light Saloon was a Mr H Carden. 'AVR 691' is now presented for sale in Blue over Black, trimmed in Blue leather and rides on colour-keyed wire wheels shod with white-walled tyres. The Rolls comes complete with a copy of the factory build sheet and a history file containing various invoices etc.

This XJ-SC was despatched new to Hatfields of Sheffield in 1985. The identity of the first owner is uncertain, but could apparently have been a senior director of Raleigh Cycles of Nottingham. Whatever, the Jaguar was eventually acquired by a Leicestershire gentlemen who used it sparingly until his death. It then passed to his niece, from whom it was purchased by the vendor. Historical paperwork suggests the indicated mileage of just 14,200 could be correct. Certainly the XJ-SC appears to have led a very cosseted life, and the Cobalt Blue paintwork is original apart from a small level of remedial work around the arches to repair stone chipping. The 'Starfish' alloys have been refurbished to factory specification, the bumpers have been rechromed and a stainless steel exhaust system fitted. The vendor currently grades the bodywork and paintwork as 'excellent' and the V12 engine, automatic transmission and Doeskin leather interior trim as 'very good'.

Amid rumours that several States were preparing to ban his Model T due to its 'unsafe' hand-operated braking system, Henry Ford begrudgingly succumbed to pressure from his son Edsel in July 1926 and authorised the development of a successor the Ford Model A which was manufactured between 1928 and 1931. Offered in a wide variety of body styles it was the first Ford to incorporate the standard set of driver controls with a conventional clutch, brake pedal, accelerator and gearshift. This particular Canadian-built example is of left-hand drive specification and has been self-evidently restored and repainted in Dark Blue with Black wings matched to a Blue cloth interior. The Phaeton is one of the rarer and more sought-after Model A body styles with this example being fitted with the larger and more desirable 3.2 engine. Having recently arrived on these shores the Ford is offered with all the relevant import paperwork and is ready to be registered to its new keeper.

553 YUP' is presented in the distinctive combination of Dove Grey bodywork teamed with Red leather interior trim and hood. This lefthand drive example of the breed has been treated to a fair degree of refurbishment in recent times, including: a repaint in what is the MG's original colour; the removal of the engine which was then checked and serviced; and the restoration of the engine bay. The following items were replaced: front brake discs and calipers; rear shoes and cylinders; wiring loom; mohair hood; and bumpers. The vendor perhaps understandably now classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, four-cylinder B Series engine and four-speed manual transmission as all being in 'excellent' order. Some 31,501 examples of the MG A 1600 and 1600 De-Luxe were made in 1959/1960 alone. An open example tested by Motor magazine in 1959 returned a top speed of 96.1mph and a 0-60mph time of 13.3 seconds.

- Beautiful example built to exemplary standards by John May - Competed in the 'Daily Express' Production Jaguar race at the Silverstone Classic in July 2009 - 3.8 litre engine with semi race camshafts & 3x HD8 SU carburettors, E-Type (4.2) all synchro gearbox In addition to maintaining the factory XK 120's for many years and providing the basis for the Nigel Dawes series, John May has been creating his own interpretations of the ideal XK Jaguar for several decades. Today, he is no longer accepting new work. It is not simply that his cars are built to exemplary standards and incorporate the fruits of his vast experience of the marque, it is his uncompromising determination to get the detail of the job absolutely right which makes his output special. 679351 left Brown's Lane in 1952, bound for the US. By the late 1990's it had found its way back to Tewkesbury and underwent a painstaking bare chassis restoration. The detailed specification was formulated with occasional competition in mind, but principally, to serve as a long range tourer. It was finished in 2000. In the early years following the completion of its build, the car took part in the road going class of a few XK races, only failing to finish once (when the driver broke the gearstick and got fed up driving around in second gear). It was always driven to and, importantly, back from the circuits at which it competed, never suffering an impact. Its only 'competitive' outing in the past 10 years came as the result of an invitation to take part in the 'Daily Express' Production Jaguar race at the Silverstone Classic in July 2009, a one off race staged to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the XK's first competition victory at Silverstone in 1949. A commemorative plaque from this event is fitted to the dashboard. Although it has had limited use, the car has been maintained by John. Finished in Jaguar Gunmetal Grey with red leather and Turrino 5 ¢ x 15" colour coded wheels with polished alloy rims laced in E-Type offset pattern, the car's enviable specification includes fixed quarter lights and rear windows, minimalist custom indicators, halogen headlights, rack & pinion steering, modified suspension geometry, adjustable telescopic dampers all round, uprated springs and torsion bars, Salisbury 4HA axle with Powr lock differential and 3.05:1 'touring' ratio, disc brakes all round with Alcon 4 pot front callipers, custom made rear anti roll bar, Dave Butcher E- type 3.8-litre engine with semi race camshafts and 3x HD8 SU carburettors, E- type (4.2) all synchro gearbox, XK 140 radiator electric fan with viscous coupling, alternator, sports exhaust with removable rear baffles, side mounted aluminium water header & oil catch tanks, bucket seats - position adjustable, 4 point harnesses, full leather trimmed roll cage, competition pedal box, leather trimmed dash, doors and rear parcel shelf and battery box, full instrumentation including map light and period aviation chronometer, period Motorola radio (display only), 2 speed wipers and electric screen wash, wood rim steering wheel, plumbed in fire extinguisher (unused), ignition cut out, burst proof aftermarket locks and leather edged carpets. This stunning XK, ready to be enjoyed and worthy of close inspection, is offered with Swansea V5C, detailed specification sheet, Jaguar Cars vehicle information sheet, invoices from XK Developments and assorted old MoTs.

(We are grateful to the vendor for the detail contained in this description) This magnificent-looking motorcar was recently created in honour of the trio of Dolomite Straight 8s Triumph produced in the 1930s - their history explains the significance of the car now offered. Donald Healey, having been largely responsible for the Imp and MPH models whilst at Riley, joined Triumph in 1933 and persuaded his new chairman, Lieutenant Colonel Holbrook, to manufacture a prototype sports car at least the equal of anything then available, as many British enthusiasts - Earl Howe 'Tim' Birkin, Tommy Wisdom and Healey himself among them - wanted the all-conquering Alfa Romeo 8Cs quashed. Birkin and BRDC President Earl Howe in particular, publicly criticised the lack of a British sports car capable of taking on the continental opposition. As Alfa's 8C 2300 was the benchmark, Healey unsurprisingly based his first prototype on that design. In fact it is believed he purchased a year old Monza (chassis 2211130 or 2211125) and stripped it so the dimensions could be recorded. Healey also travelled to Milan to discuss the project with Vittorio Jano, who was reportedly delighted that so famous a marque as Triumph wished to adopt their design. It was even mooted the car could be dubbed the Triumph-Alfa. However, a combination of the costs associated with the Dolomite's hi-tech specification and Triumph's perilous financial status caused the project to be abandoned in 1936. Of the three Straight 8 prototypes produced, two are in private hands, while the third was destroyed on the 1935 Monte Carlo rally with Healey at the wheel - it clashed with a train at a level crossing; happily Healey and his co-driver escaped with only minor injuries. Scroll forward to today and to Rob Green of Gloria Coachworks who has become arguably the world's leading specialist in pre-1940 Triumph's and restored and re-created many examples of the marque. These have included two evocations of the aforementioned Dolomite Straight 8 and the second, Rob's own, is the stunning Triumph now offered. It is based on a 1938 Dolomite chassis and features all pre-1940 Triumph running gear. It is powered by a Dolomite straight-six engine fed by triple SUs and an ingenious siamesing of the exhaust manifold results in eight fully functioning pipes exiting the bonnet, much as per the original cars. The drawings for the Straight 8 prototypes were destroyed in the blitz, so accurate replicas had to be created from period photos. The resulting coachwork was hand crafted in aluminium over an ash frame and includes a modified Gloria bonnet and genuine period Ace spare wheel cover. The evocation abounds with delightful touches, such as the hand modified Dolomite radiator badge that once read Gloria but now spells Dolomite - a detail believed to have been unique to the three original cars. The windscreen folds down to expose a pair of aero screens for those more sporty moments behind the wheel. 'EYT 342' is finished in Green and trimmed in Brown hide, and comes with a matching Green tonneau and hood. The jack and tools are neatly stowed within storage compartments on the engine bulkhead. The vendor informs us that the Triumph 'starts easily, is a delight to drive and revels in spirited motoring'. This splendid motorcar represents 2,700 hours of skilled labour, and Rob apparently has no plans to construct further examples, making this a unique opportunity to acquire a fine example of automotive art at a fraction of the build cost.

- Comprehensive professional restoration recently completed by marque specialist - Matching numbers UK supplied RHD car with Jaguar Heritage Certificate - Finished in its original specification and colour scheme of Opalescent Silver Grey with red interior Launched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show the Jaguar E-Type was nothing short of a revelation. With its heady blend of supercar performance, breath-taking styling and low price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. Built as a monocoque with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine, 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 indomitable 3781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and 260lbft of torque. Allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox (with synchromesh on 2nd, 3rd and 4th), it reputedly enabled the E-type to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 150mph. Achingly beautiful yet viciously quick, the iconic E-type remains for many the ultimate production Jaguar. This original matching numbers right hand drive UK market Series 1 E-type 3.8 was, as confirmed by the accompanying Jaguar Heritage Certificate, manufactured on 30 April 1962 and finished in Opalescent Silver Grey with red interior. On 1st June 1962 it was supplied to its first owner, a Mr R H Hyman, via Henlys, Manchester. According to the V5C registration document there are only two further registered keepers including the current vendor since the car was new. The subject of an extensive restoration between 1975-1980 by Phoenix Automotive which included an engine overhaul, full retrim and replacement of the bonnet, doors and floor, after six months of summer motoring it was dry-stored on wooden blocks under a fitted cotton dust sheet and woven covers. Subsequently offered for sale at H&H's Pavilion Gardens auction in October 2013, it was purchased from there by the vendor, a keen historic racer and car collector. Upon inspection the car was found to be structurally sound but the non-original green paintwork had suffered and was in poor condition. The decision was taken to treat the car to a comprehensive back to bare metal restoration with the work being entrusted to a marque specialist and race car preparer. These painstaking works took eighteen months to complete and included a return to the original specification and colour scheme of Opalescent Silver Grey with red interior. Retaining its Moss gearbox and registering some 78,000 miles on its odometer, this extremely desirable early E-type, finished in arguably the best colour combination, is accompanied by a Swansea V5C document, Jaguar Heritage Certificate, sundry invoices and current MoT expiring September 2016. Always prized by collectors, original UK market E-Types have now become particularly sought after and this beautifully restored example would undoubtedly enhance any collection.

- The 126th XK120 Roadster made to right-hand drive specification - Supplied new via Henlys of London and resident in Australia for many years before being repatriated during the late 1980s This handsome Red Jaguar was manufactured on the 7th of July 1950 and was the 126th righthand drive example of this iconic model to vacate the Browns Lane factory. Though not one of the original batch of all-alloy-bodied cars, it is nevertheless understood to have possessed its aluminium bonnet, doors and wings from birth. It was supplied new via Henlys of London and by January 1951 belonged to a Mr McDoughall of Australia, the country it remained in until repatriated in 1988; at which point it is believed to have benefited from a comprehensive restoration. The car is not new to H&H, having featured in our October 2000 sale. The vendor acquired it in April 2008, after discovering it under a dust cover in the North Yorkshire Motor Museum. The following year he invested £4,937.41 in having the 3.4-litre engine overhauled by VSE, during which the cylinder head was replaced with another original one; as was the water pump, complete with 'spitfire' cooling fan. Subsequent replacements include: an alloy radiator with waterless coolant; brake cylinders; cloth covered wiring loom; high torque starter motor; Zircotec heat treatment for the exhaust manifold and new tyres all-round (2015). The vendor informs us that the Jaguar is as-original in all respects apart from an alternator with the period look of a dynamo'. He adds that 'the chassis is stamped in the correct places, as is the original Moss gearbox that works perfectly. In summary - it's a nice honest XK that drives very well'. He is offering it complete with 'good' hood, side screens, rear wheel spats, tailored car cover and what is believed to be the original registration number - 'PFF 481'.

- Formerly owned by the Governer of St Helena and showing just c.15,800 miles - In the current ownership since 1989 - Five speed gearbox Purchased new by Mrs C A E Baker in October 1984, this Morgan was subsequently shipped via the Bravo Sif to St Helena where her husband, Mr F E Baker CBE, was Governor. Returning to the UK in 1988, it was subsequently acquired by the vendor (the second owner) in 1989 with c.3,000 miles on its odometer. Registering just 15,857 miles at the time of cataloguing, it is finished attractively in Blue with Cream interior and is understood to be powered by a Ford XR3 engine mated to a 5 speed gearbox. Described as being in "good" condition as regards its bodywork, paintwork, engine and transmission with "a little wear" to the interior, the car is accompanied by an Owner's Handbook, assorted invoices and expired MoTs dating back to 2000. A low mileage example with just two owners, this handsome Morgan is expected to possess a fresh MoT by the time of sale.

Donald Healey's eponymous company built a prototype two-seater sports car for display at the 1952 London Motor Show. It was based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and sported a sleek body designed by Gerry Coker and built by Tickford. It was dubbed the 'Healey Hundred' (a moniker chosen to reflect the car's ability to reach 100mph), and Healey planned to build production versions at his factory in Warwick. As things transpired, the prototype impressed the public and so excited Austin's Managing Director, Leonard Lord, that he agreed to build the car in volume at Longbridge. The newcomer was renamed the Austin Healey 100. The rest is history. The production bodyshells were made by Jensen and then transported to Longbridge where the cars were assembled alongside the A90. The early cars (code named BN1 and BN2) were equipped with the same four-cylinder 90bhp 2,660cc engine as the A90. They had 11" drum brakes all round. The front suspension was independent by coil springs while the rear featured a traditional live axle supported by semi-elliptic leaf springs. The steering was by cam and lever. The home market BN1 on offer is a 1954 example that features smart Spruce Green bodywork complemented by Black interior trim and rides on silver-painted wire wheels. This particular 'Big' Healey has had four keepers to date and is the subject of an older restoration. The engine has been upgraded to 'M' specification ('M' spec. carburettors, cold air box, lightened fly wheel, uprated anti-roll bar, etc.) and the original gearbox replaced by the more desirable four-speed plus overdrive BN2 unit. 'OWD 726' has recently been treated to a full service by a marque specialist, and is described by the vendor as being 'well sorted' with 'excellent' bodywork and paintwork, and 'good' interior trim, engine and transmission. It is being sold complete with lead free conversion, Heritage Certificate, FIVA identity card and MOT until September 2016.

Interest in 'microcars' has been on the rise for some time, of which many view the tandem seat Messerschmitt's as the cream of the crop. This delightful KR200 Cabriolet hails from 1961 and has been self-evidently restored and repainted. Offered with a collection of old MoT certificates and current V5C the vendor now views the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission as all being in 'Very good' order. The Messerschmitt's streamlined aircraft-style body is finished in eye-catching Blue and trimmed in Black vinyl and is powered by the standard specification 191cc Fichtel & Sachs single-cylinder two-stroke engine which, thanks to the KR200's light weight and effective aerodynamics, is sufficient to propel the little two-seater to c.60mph - a speed it can attain backwards as well as forwards, as the reversible ignition allows the four-speed transmission to operate in both directions!. This lovely KR200 would grace any microcar collection and represents a unique opportunity for bubble car aficionados everywhere.

This fascinating righthand drive British-built Talbot was apparently delivered in chassis form to The Western Motor Company of Glasgow in February 1910, and is known to have served in France as an ambulance during WWI. The current Waggonnette body is presumed to have been a post-1918 addition and was fitted to the car when it was unearthed in Scotland during the 1970s. A restoration ensued and the refurbished Talbot is understood to have featured in the 1978 film version of the Thirty-Nine Steps. 'HS 316' is finished in Cream over Brown and trimmed in imitation Brown leather. The vendor describes the bodywork, four-cylinder engine (complete with new rings fitted to the pistons), and four-speed manual transmission as 'sound', the paintwork as 'good', and the interior as 'clean'. The venerable Waggonnette has remained in its current ownership since 1986 and is being offered complete with a dating certificate courtesy of the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain.

Long before the ubiquitous Willys Jeep had been conceived, the Willys-Overland Motor Company was a major producer of tough and reliable family automobiles - in fact from 1912 to 1918 only the mighty Ford Motor Company is thought to have produced more cars for the American market. The four-door righthand drive Type 69 Tourer on offer was evidently imported from the USA by the previous owner in 1991, with the vendor acquiring it in 2006. Its four-cylinder engine drives through a three-speed manual gearbox and 'DS 9636' sports Black bodywork and interior trim and rides on varnished artillery wheels. The car comes complete with an electric starter and both the gearbox and rear axle have been overhauled this year. The vendor now classes the engine and interior trim as 'good' and the bodywork and paintwork as 'fair.' Accompanied by a VCC Dating Certificate that was issued in 1993, the Willys has been extensively used on various VCC events including last year's WWI Tour starting in London and proceeding to France and Ypres in Belgium.

General Motors' Advance Design Series of trucks, represented the company's first post-war reshape and were claimed to be bigger, stronger and sleeker than the AK model they replaced. The newcomers quickly acquired a loyal following and were produced with only minor amendments from 1947 to 1955, during which period the Chevrolet brand topped the American truck sales charts. The left-hand drive sale vehicle has recently been brought to these shores from the dry state of California and we are informed the Chevy was purchased from its long term private keeper of some 10 years. It's understood under his ownership the Chevy was re-painted and re-trimmed. Power comes from a 3.8-litre (231ci) petrol engine coupled to a three -speed manual gearbox and the pickup features a side mounted spare wheel with White wall tyres which are said to be all in 'good' order and has just received a new battery, starter motor, clutch kit, handbrake cables and oil change. Offered with US title and all duty paid this handsome pick up is ready for the new keeper to be the first name in the V5C. Drive a modern box and long for something more interesting - then this could be for you?!

- Fully restored over five years - Brand new Fuchs-pattern alloys and tyres - Fully refurbished interior by renowned specialist A1 Bespoke Interiors of Bedfordshire This splendidly-presented righthand drive SC was delivered new to its first owner by the South African Porsche dealer LSM. Following importation to the UK some years later it was re-coloured from Grand Prix White to Yellow and acquired wider Turbo-style wings and 'Whaletail' spoiler; as befitted the trend of the era. In more recent times it has undergone a protracted but notably thorough restoration by Cole & Henighan of Letchworth, Herts, during which the wider wings were retained to create a 'Supersport' evocation but the Porsche returned to its original colour. The extensive refurbishment included many replacement parts (mostly 'New Old Stock'), fresh Fuchs-pattern alloy wheels and tyres, plus a fully rejuvenated interior courtesy of A1 Bespoke Interiors of Bedfordshire. The vendor now rates the Porsche's bodywork, paintwork and leather-trimmed interior as 'fully restored', the 3-litre flat-six engine as 'very good', and the manual five-speed transmission as being 'without problems'.

This attractive-looking example of Britain's favourite sports car has Mid Blue bodywork complemented by a Light Tan interior. It's a four owner example that was removed from the road in 2002 and restored over the ensuing seven years, since when it's travelled less than 4,000 miles. The history file contains invoices totalling in excess of £15,000 and the work carried out included a conversion from rubber to chrome bumpers, during which the ride height was lowered to that of the earlier cars. 'KKR 336P' benefits from a handling kit and Spax dampers all-round. Its impressive specification further includes: oil cooler and braided pipes; overdrive; silver coloured wire wheels; wood rim steering wheel; Pioneer radio/CD player; stainless steel door treads; locking fuel cap; and car cover. The vendor classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, four-cylinder engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'good' order and says the venerable MG 'drives exceptionally well'.

- Hidden from public view for the past 40 years - The first of three Aston Martin DBS V8 chassis re-modelled by Ogle Design, chassis DBSV8/10380/R was the original 'Sotheby Special'. - Displayed at the Montreal Motor Show and Geneva Salon during 1972 - Prototype fuel-injected V8 (engine number: V535/002/P), five-speed manual gearbox - GRP bodywork with extensive glasshouse supported by Reynolds tubing A recent letter to the vendor from the manager of Aston Martin Heritage Operations that accompanies this 'barn find' sums the car up perfectly: "I am able to confirm that the above vehicle was shipped to Ogle Design of Letchworth, Herts in 1971 by Aston Martin as the prototype for the Sotheby Special Project, financed by W.D. & H.O. Wills Ltd. This vehicle is the first of three Sotheby Specials produced at Ogle Design." The vendor purchased this historically interesting Aston Martin (chassis No. DBSV8/10381/RC) very much in its current state in the mid-1970s from a Mr Pepper, who was then employed by Ogle and had responsibility for organising the car's disposal. Research into the cars serial numbers have proved the prototype fuel-injected engine to have been built in 1967 and the DBS V8 chassis in 1970-1971. Ogle constructed the bodywork from glassfibre, while the extensive glasshouse above the waistline was formed in Perspex, supported on a tubular frame of Reynolds 531 - a steel once very popular with the cycle racing fraternity. The rear panel was made of a single sheet of satin stainless steel with holes inserted for no less than 22 rear lamps - the harder the driver braked, the more lights were illuminated. The headlamps were secreted behind a pair of pneumatically operated panels that would automatically drop down when the lamps were in use. Also of note is that the car had a single transverse rear seat, presumably making the Ogle the only post war three-seater Aston Martin. The vehicle was finished in Dark Blue adorned with Gold pin striping and unveiled as a centrepiece of the Montreal Motor Show of January 1972. It also appeared at the ensuing Geneva Salon a couple of months later, and was reviewed by Raymond Baxter for the then popular television programme 'Tomorrow's World'. The Sotheby Special certainly seems to have impressed Motor magazine, as they devoted their January 15, 1972 front cover to the car. Unfortunately, history relates that Wills's Sotheby brand of cigarette was not a great success and, now redundant, the motor show car (that had never been road registered), was partially stripped for parts and placed in storage. Indeed, according to the vendor, it has seen the inside of several barns over the subsequent 40 plus years, in particular - Bonners Farm near Luton, Tallents Farm near Hitchin and Crook Corner Riseley. One way and another it has been hidden from public view for a very long time until now, when it being offered for sale in genuine 'barn find' condition. It is still equipped with its manual five-speed gearbox. The paintwork is original but, like the rest of this historically fascinating vehicle, is now in need of restoration. The vendor informs us that some of the Triplex glass remains with the car, as do the door cards and radiator, and that the alloy wheels were apparently re-painted in the late '70s. Aston Martin has volunteered that it will be happy to help the next keeper get the vehicle road registered and would also be delighted to carry out the restoration if required. What better project for the upcoming winter!

- 3 previous keepers and c.97,000 miles - Green logbook, handbook, warranty and service booklet - Assorted old MoTs and service history Based on a design exercise by the Swedish-born Pelle Petterson whilst working at Frua, the Volvo P1800 sports car was officially unveiled at the January 1960 Brussels Salon. Not entering production for a year, the newcomer's sleek two-door monocoque bodyshell was equipped with independent front suspension, a coil-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc / drum brakes. Powered by a 1782cc OHV four-cylinder engine (complete with five-bearing crankshaft and twin SU carburettors) allied to a four-speed manual gearbox, it was capable of over 100mph. A Sussex car all its life, the accompanying V5C records LNJ 78E has enjoyed just 3 owners in its 48 years. Finished in red with black leather and displaying some 97,000 miles, the vendor describes it as being in "very good" condition regarding its bodywork, paint and engine, whilst the interior shows some signs of use commensurate with its age. Offered with a nice history file including a green logbook, handbook, warranty and service booklet, assorted old MoTs and invoices.

At the dawn of the 1930s with the reverberations of 'Black Friday' felt worldwide, competition between carmakers grew increasingly desperate. Thus, while WO Bentley sought to refine his 8-litre, Rolls-Royce responded by dabbling with a sports car concept. Their concerns as to the branding of 'Peregrine' (as the project was labelled internally) were alleviated by Bentley's collapse in 1931. Outflanking rivals D. Napier & Son, they acquired Bentley wholesale for £125,257. With a department brief that 'the new car must be as unlike the Rolls-Royce models as possible'. Derby engineers set about preparing 'Peregrine' for flight. Built on a 'double-dropped' chassis. the newcomer employed a tuned version of the Rolls-Royce 20/25's 3,669cc OHV straight-six engine. Boasting twin SUs, wilder camshaft, strengthened con-rods and higher compression ratio, it developed around 120bhp without compromising on refinement. Equipped with the 20/25's four-speed manual gearbox, high-geared steering and hydraulic dampers, the resultant 'Silent Sportscar' was unveiled to great acclaim at the August 1933 Ascot Races. Chassis No.B54AH was sold new to Colonel E W Margesson in 1934 and clothed in an all-alloy, Close Coupled Saloon body by Park Ward. The coachwork is attractively finished in two-tone Grey while the contrasting interior features eye-catching Red leather upholstery, matching carpets and re-varnished wood cappings. The engine was apparently overhauled a few years ago, and an oil filter conversion carried out; since when 'PO 9559' has travelled just 2000 miles. In addition: the rear axle has been refurbished, the road springs renewed, and the wheels overhauled with new stainless steel spokes and treated to new spinners. The Bentley is being sold complete with its original mascot and a set of newly re-plated door handles. The vendor regards this delightful Derby as 'pretty and ready to enjoy' and grades the engine, gearbox and interior as 'A1' and the coachwork and paintwork as 'good'.

Launched in April 1955, the Silver Cloud was based on a completely new closed box-section frame that was reputedly fifty percent stiffer than that of the outgoing Silver Dawn. The newcomer's elegant Standard Steel Saloon body was penned by in-house designer John Polwhele Blatchley, the proportions of which belied its considerable overall length of 17ft 8in. Though the retention of a separate chassis allowed for the production of bespoke coachwork, all but 157 of the 2,360 Cloud Is produced featured the in-house offering. Powered by an alloy-headed, 4887cc straight-six engine mated to 4-speed automatic transmission, the model utilised servo-assisted drum brakes all-round. The suspension was independent with coil springs at the front and featured a live axle hung on semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear. Changes introduced in 1956 included the incorporation of twin brake master cylinders and the options of power steering and air conditioning. A test by Motor magazine in 1956 recorded a top speed of 102.9mph and a time of 13.5 seconds for the 0-60mph dash. Still finished in its original colours of Sage Green over Smoke Green, chassis SBC108 was first owned by J.W. Kempton Esq. of Leicester who took delivery on 5th October 1956. More recently entrusted to marque specialists Hillier Hill and NRT Motors of Tewsburry for over £35,000 worth of mechanical fettling, the Rolls-Royce is said to 'drive like it did when it left the factory'. Describing its bodywork, paintwork, engine and automatic transmission as 'good' and its Stone-hued leather upholstery as 'fair / good', the vendor further informs us that this lovely Silver Cloud has covered just 100,500 miles from new. Riding on whitewall tyres and benefiting from power steering, it is accompanied by an original handbook, assorted MOTs, V5s, complete boot tools, lamp and a spare set of keys.

The Fastback option of the Mustang appeared in 1965, with the model's first significant facelift following during 1967. This was an altogether bigger motorcar, featuring additional passenger and luggage space and the option of no less than four larger V8 engines of 302ci, 390ci, 427ci and 428ci capacity. The four-barrel 390ci unit had debuted in the Thunderbird, and with 320hp on tap enabled the revised Pony Car to record a standing quarter mile time of 13 seconds. The 1968 GT390 was immortalised by the Steve McQueen film Bullitt. This purposeful-looking left-hand drive 1968 Mustang 390GT was a special order example built for the Spanish market, and included from new such rarities as a full European handling pack, Sundym glass and orange indicator lenses. It was retained by the original owner until being imported to the UK in February 1998. However, rather than hit the road in style at this stage, it was evidently confined to a lock-up and barely used until acquired by the vendor during July 2009, who then recommissioned it. The work included: stripping the underside and repainting; fitting new suspension bushes, brake lines, brake pads, steering joints, battery, water pump, thermostat, chrome bumpers etc. The fast Ford has never been fully restored, but was treated to a bare metal repaint in 2014. The vendor currently regards the bodywork, paintwork, V8 engine and four-speed manual transmission as 'very good', while he rates the interior trim as 'original'. The mighty Mustang currently displays an unwarranted 55,000 miles and is being sold complete with Marti report, sales brochure and MOT certificate valid until August 2016. The current registration 'TOP 659' is available by separate negotiation.

- Aluminium bodied car delivered in January 2015 after a two year build - 3.8-litre Jaguar E-Type race engine with five-speed Toyota gearbox - 160 running in miles only Evanta Motor Company, established in 2005, was the brainchild of Ant Anstead and went on to produce a strictly limited run of this model. With all cars rapidly finding owners, no more examples are available from the company. Delivered in January 2015 after a two year build, this one owner Evanta has just c.160 running in miles on its odometer. Featuring full aluminium bodywork painted in Aston Martin Almond Green, paying homage to one of the greatest sports racing cars from the 1950s, it is powered by an ex-Eddie Farrel Jaguar 3.8-litre E-Type racing engine producing around 300bhp mated to a Toyota 5 speed gearbox. Adjustable electric power steering is also fitted. Two steering wheels accompany the car, a period-style wheel and a smaller one with a clever stowage arrangement in the boot allowing both to be carried at the same time. A tonneau cover provides all-important weather protection and the fuel filler cover has been signed inside by none other than Stirling Moss. The workmanship and attention to detail on the car is quite breath-taking making it worthy of the closest inspection. Recently displayed at the Goodwood Revival Meeting, this stunning evocation is accompanied by a Swansea V5C, photographs of its build, assorted invoices including one from Brooklands Motorsport for work to the engine and a Certificate of Newness from Evanta Motor Company Ltd.

An undisputedly fine motorcar, the Graham Hull-penned Silver Seraph marked Rolls-Royce's intention to reclaim its reputation as producer of `the best car in the world'. Following a long gestation period that dated back to the late '80s, the model was actually only made for four years - 1998 to 2002 - as a result of which just 1,570 examples ultimately vacated the factory in Crewe, making it a relatively rare breed. The company claimed the monocoque chassis to be 65 percent stiffer than that of the Silver Spirit it replaced. Power came from a BMW-derived all-alloy V12 engine of 5.4-litres, making it the first 12-cylinder car to transport the Silver Lady since the mighty Phantom III of 1939. The Seraph shared its platform, bodyshell and much else with the Bentley Arnage of the period. But while the twin-turbo V8-powered and more stiffly-suspended Arnage was aimed at the enthusiast driver, the Seraph was all about comfort and luxury. 'W801 VGO' was supplied new in 2000 by Jack Barclay. Its bodywork is resplendent in Silver that's matched to Black hide interior trim. The Rolls boasts a comprehensive and continuous service record, all the maintenance for which has been carried out by franchised Rolls-Royce agents, with the most recent attention having being supplied by Jack Barclay. The records evidently support the Seraph's currently displayed total mileage of just 29,942. The motorcar's impressive specification includes: burr walnut interior cappings; electrically-controlled sunroof; heated front and rear seats; lambs-wool over rugs; and a brand new set of White-walled tyres. The vendor makes no hesitation in branding the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and automatic transmission as all being 'immaculate', and is doubtless correct in saying that really good examples of the breed are rapidly becoming harder to find. This one comes complete with the aforementioned service books, receipts etc.

The Monaco Diplomat is an extremely spacious RV that boasts a full seven feet of ceiling height and three 'slide-out' areas to expand your living space - two in the living area and one in the bedroom. The interior of this motorhome has been very well maintained and features 'New Vintage Oak' look finish in the kitchen, a queen bed in the bedroom and plentiful storage provided by the wardrobe closet, dresser and roomy overhead cabinets. The pilot's seat features six-way power controls, while the co-pilot's has a power footrest. Everything is strategically arranged to give the best possible driving experience and to help minimize driver fatigue. Powered by an 8.8-litre straight six engine developing some 400hp driving through a 6 speed gearbox, effortless cruising is guaranteed. Requiring an HGV Class 2 licence to drive as is or HGV 1 if towing a trailer, this comfortable RV would grace any race paddock. Registering some 31,049 miles on its odometer, it is accompanied by a Swansea V5C document and full service history. With a list price of around £200,000 when new, it has been enjoyed by just one private owner excluding the supplying dealer. The vendor further advises it will possess a fresh MOT in time for the sale and that no VAT duty is payable. Described as having "good" bodywork and paintwork with "excellent" interior and engine, it would be perfect for family trips abroad or for driving yourself and your trailered race car to motorsport events.

Introduced in 1996, the Lotus Esprit V8 was powered by a bespoke 3.5 litre twin-turbo engine allied to five-speed manual transmission. With a quoted 350bhp and 295lbft of torque on tap, the two-seater was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds and 175mph. Offering a typically fine ride / handling balance courtesy of its rack and pinion steering, all independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, the model remained in production until 2004 by which time just 1,451 are thought to have been made. Finished in Blue with Cream hide upholstery, 'S550 SEG' is understood to have been in fine order back in 2007 when it suffered cosmetic damage, but was nevertheless classified as a Category D write-off for no other reason than Lotus were at the time unable to supply the parts required, thereby making it temporarily uneconomic to repair. Happily, the Esprit has subsequently been returned to its former glory and is these days regarded by the marque specialist vendor as having 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and five-speed manual gearbox. We understand from the seller that the currently indicated mileage of c.52,000 is correct. This lusty Lotus comes complete with an MOT valid to September 22, 2016.
