Registration - R819 XOAChassis No. - SAXXNWAZEWD154900M.O.T. - May 2025Odometer - 38,287Perfectly presented in pearlescent purple, this late-example of the classic Mini is offered at No Reserve, and uses Rover’s 1.3-litre multi-point injection (MPi) engine, just one of a huge range of improvements made to the roll-out version of the beloved classic city car. The four-cylinder petrol unit is mated to a four-speed manual transmission, and both are reported to have been rebuilt by the hobbyist owner in 2021, though there is no documentation to support this as yet. The exterior features chrome trim for both the bumpers and the wheel arches, as well as quad spot lamps fitted. Inside, ‘R819 XOA’ has been upholstered in cream leather and tweed-inspired houndstooth cloth throughout; the cabin also features a wood veneer dashboard and classic white dials, behind the chunky Mini steering wheel.Fitted with quad spot lamps, ‘R819 XOA’ has also seen the Mini Sport kit installed after-market, which includes the Minilite-style alloy wheels. Additional work has seen a new rear subframe and new servo installed according to the current owner, who has had the Mini in their care for the last 12 years. They have kept ‘R819 XOA’ in a warm, dry garage when not in use, and has been tailored behind a camper van for many of the last dozen years when used - the purpose-built trailer could be purchased too. Regularly and near constantly maintained, the Mini’s engine and transmission are considered as in ‘excellent’ condition by the present owner, while the paint is thought of as ‘average’ and the interior, bodywork, and electrics rated as ‘good’. With the reverberations of the 1956-1957 Suez Crisis felt worldwide, Leonard Lord lost little time in commissioning Alec Issigonis to begin work on a radical small car project. Apart from the constraint of using existing BMC mechanical assemblies, and a brief to house four adults plus their luggage within as small a space as possible, the brilliant Issigonis was given carte blanche. His response was the now legendary Mini. Launched in 1959, it featured an ingenious transverse-mounted powertrain (with engine sat atop the gearbox), all-round independent 'rubber cone' suspension, front-wheel drive and compact rack and pinion steering, the newcomer was a packaging masterpiece; not to mention one of the most influential automotive designs ever conceived. In 1996, the Mk VII version was launched – the final variant of the original shape Mini. To meet various safety and emissions standards, wide-reaching changes were made, including twin-point fuel injection, full-width dashboard, and driver’s airbag. It lasted until October 2000, by which time more than 5.3 million models had rolled off the production line, helping make the Mini one of the most recognisable and loved cars around the world.In summary:Late model Mini, fitted with 1.3 MPi engineFactory-specification pearlescent purple paintWell maintained and looked-after example

Registration - H440 GCRChassis No. - FK10-003108M.O.T. - February 2025Odometer - 68,000kmWonderfully presented in a colour scheme that matches the characterful Nissan Figaro’s retro-inspired styling, this example comes in Topaz Mist paintwork, with ivory leather interior, and is offered at no reserve. As with all Figaro’s ‘H440 GCR’ is powered by Nissan’s four-cylinder 1.0-litre turbocharged engine, matched to a three speed automatic transmission. The convertible 2+2 includes a folding canvas roof and glass rear window, which folds back and is stored beneath the rear bodywork, with the C-pillars and roof rails remaining in place, mirroring the likes of the classic Fiat 500 and Citroen 2CV models that helped inspire its design. The retro styling continues inside, with simple three-spoke steering wheel, twin round instruments, media system tucked underneath the dashboard, and even a fold-down glovebox. The cream dash and centre console is topped in brown, and many of the switchgear are either toggle switches or sliders, which all combine to help with the classic feel. Imported from Japan in 2010, ‘H440 GCR’ has been the subject of a full restoration, including bare-metal respray. As you would expect, considering this work, the Figaro has been well cared for, and there is plenty of paperwork offered along with the sale. This includes pictures from the restoration process, all MOTs, invoices from the specialist Figaro workshop, service history, and initial bill of UK sale. The Figaro has also had a central locking upgrade, and comes with two keys. The vendor - the fifth since its import into this country - describes ‘H440 GCR’ as being in immaculate condition, with all areas highly rated. These see the engine, transmission, bodywork, paint, electrics, and interior all considered as ‘excellent’. Showing an indicated 111,755km - a little over 69,400 miles - this different measurement looks to have caused some confusion in the MOT-tracked mileage, but is unwarranted. Offered at no reserveRestored example of a very popular modelCherished model, with large file of paperwork Nissan revealed the Figaro at the 1989 Tokyo Motor Show, and such was the public’s response, it went into production in 1991, with an initial limited run of 20,000 units, all sold in Japan. Part of a quartet of models - all retro-inspired - made at a separate facility, the Figaro makes up a quarter of the ‘Pike’ cars, which also includes the S-Cargo, Pao, and Be-1. These were based on the Micra of the period; the K11 second-generation model, and used much of the chassis and running gear to underpin the compact convertible. Producing 75hp when new, and with one powertrain offered, the Figaro has been seen by many as a brilliant and characterful town car, with a significant number imported into the UK.
Registration - LG04 YKFChassis No - YS3FF79F246019993M.O.T. - January 2025Odometer - 48,455The second-generation Saab 9-3 is a virtually indestructible machine, as proven by this clean and original 2004 Convertible model. It has a 150bhp 2.0-litre turbo engine and automatic gearbox, while plush Vector spec brings a grey leather interior to complement the deep blue metallic paint. This car has spent four years in Spain as a holiday home car, which accounts for the very low mileage – the odometer reads just 48,455 – and also a complete lack of rust. The engine, transmission and electrics are all in ‘excellent’ condition (it “runs and drives superbly,” says the vendor), while the bodywork, paintwork and interior are described as ‘good’. Boasting a long MOT, this Saab also has lots of service history plus the original sales brochure and book pack. Introduced in 2002, the second-generation Saab 9-3 was again developed from a GM architecture further enhanced by the famous Swedish brand. It boasted smooth and efficient turbocharged petrol engines, which proved to be reliable and efficient. Popular Saab-specific features included the ‘Night Panel’ feature; press it and the entire dashboard illumination was extinguished at night, apart from the speedometer – with individual aspects, such as the fuel gauge, lighting up when necessary. The Convertible model boasted a standard electric folding roof and full four-seat comfort. In summary:• Original 2.0-litre turbo Saab 9-3 Convertible• High-spec Vector trim• Plentiful service history including the original sales brochure
Registration - K884 XRXChassis No. - WP0ZZZ96ZNS831051M.O.T. - May 2025Odometer - 135,000Subtle and understated, this rare example of Porsche’s 968 Cabriolet is presented in brown bodywork, and is fitted with a 3.0-litre straight-four engine and four-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. Fitted with five-spoke Porsche alloy wheels, ‘K884 XRX’ also features a black canvas roof, and inside is trimmed in complementary fashion. The seats are upholstered in grey leather, edged with red piping, with grey carpet, dashboard, and steering wheel. A Pioneer audio system has been installed, and factory-fitted equipment includes the electric folding roof, electric windows, and selectable automatic gearbox.Owned by the current keeper for the last two and a half years, ‘K884 XRX’ comes with an extensively documented background, including full service history and MOT certificates. The odometer was replaced in 2007, at the time showing 112,272 miles, with work carried out by Porsche Cambridge and, of course, there is paperwork to support this. It now shows a more 22,200 miles, for an indicated total of 135,000 miles. This example of Porsche’s 968 Cabriolet is considered in very good condition by the vendor, with the bodywork, paint, and interior rated as ‘good’, and the engine, transmission, and electrics regarded as ‘excellent’.Rare opportunity to obtain a Porsche 968 CabrioletOffered with large file of paperwork and full service historyWell specified examplePorsche’s 968 was introduced in 1991 as a replacement for the 944, and was offered in coupe and cabriolet forms from launch. The last model water-cooled, front-engine, rear-wheel drive model until the Cayenne was introduced in 2003, the 968 was the entry-level Porsche during its time on sale. Fitted with a 3.0-litre inline-four - either naturally aspirated or turbo-charged - and either a new 6-speed manual or four-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. Production lasted until 1995, when the Boxster was launched; a very different concept as a two-seater mid-engined roadster, but the new entrance point into the Porsche line-up.
Registration - 191 XVXChassis No. - 5E1062940M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 89,000 A striking piece of Americana, this example of Buick’s Super saloon is presented in lustrous burgundy over pearl bodywork, catching the eye with a stylish two-tone paint job, and of course the obligatory chrome and fins from the era. Powered by a Buick big-block 6.0-litre V8 and Dynaflow automatic transmission, ‘191 XVX’ is typical of the American saloon genre, and sought after by collectors. Features include twin bench seats, flush-fitted radio, and period switchgear and dials.An original US, left-hand drive model, this late-example of Buick’s Super range spent much of its life in the States. Brought over in the last few years, ‘191 XVX’ thankfully was shipped to the UK with a large file of paperwork, so there is a surprisingly comprehensive history for an imported model. The engine was rebuilt in America and sent over around three years ago, with documentation. The current owner reckons around £18,000 has been spent on the Buick, which includes a new interior and full repaint. They rate the electrics as in ‘good’ condition, but everything else is considered as ‘excellent’, including the engine, transmission, interior, and exterior. Having had plenty of care and attention lavished on it, ‘191 XVX’ comes with an indicated 89,000 miles covered. Buick launched the Super in 1940, replacing the Series 50, designed under the stewardship of the influential Harley Earl. A thoroughly modern design, the first generation Super lost elements such as running boards from the previous model, and used an Art Deco ‘Torpedo’ design. Offered in a variety of body styles, including saloon, coupe, convertible, and estate, the Super lasted only until 1941, before it was replaced by a stuttering second-generation model – with stop-start production influenced by the war effort. Post-war, the third generation was launched in 1949, with continued developments in styling and all powered by either straight-eight or V8 engines. Using a new version of the General Motors C-Body platform, the Super was upgraded in 1954 for two years, again with developed styling and equipment, before the final version arrived in 1957, bringing with it a number of forward looking features, including power steering and brakes. This last version saw a little over 42,000 units sold – the lowest figure since the interrupted 1942 year – before exiting production in 1959. In summary:Rare late-example of Buick Super saloonUS import with large file of paperworkExtensive refurbishment to engine, interior and paintwork
Registration - OC 3698Chassis No. - G22722M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 98,000This handsome 1933 Austin 10/4 Saloon is finished in red over black with a contemporary deep red leather interior (and matching plush carpet mats). The vendor describes it as an older restoration, complete with original buff log book along with the current V5, along with some historic paperwork. ‘OC3 698’ shows good oil pressure, and “runs and drives well”. Engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork, paintwork and interior are all said to be in ‘good’ condition. The odometer of this early Austin 10/4 reads 98,000 miles and the UK-registered car is MOT exempt. Period features such as the Lucan Trafficators are a desirable touch. The Austin 10 was the Longbridge firm’s best-selling car of the 1930s. It was introduced in spring 1932 and remained in production for 15 years, including during World War II, where pick-up and van versions were popular. The four-door saloon 10/4 was the core model, but there were also tourers, sports and cabriolets, all sharing the same ladder chassis and 1,125cc side-valve four-cylinder engine. Well received by period commentators, the Austin 10 was enhanced throughout its life, including the launch of a new body for 1937, and the adoption of semi-unitary construction in 1939. The Austin 10 was eventually replaced by the famous Austin A40 in 1947. In summary:Early Austin 10/4 Saloon in handsome colour combinationPlenty of historical service invoicesDescribed as being in ‘good’ condition throughout
Registration - G1 MND original registration P324 JAUChassis No. - WP0ZZZ99ZVS312417M.O.T. - May 2025Odometer - 79,850 A rare and desirable version of Porsche’s iconic 911 lineage, this 993 Carrera S coupe is a cherished and highly original example. Presented in classic Arctic Silver bodywork over black interior, ‘G1 MND’ features Porsche’s 3.6-litre six-cylinder boxer engine and six-speed manual gearbox. Wrapped in Porsche’s wide-body design, this 993 Carrera S is a largely unchanged version, sitting on original Porsche alloys, and benefitting from a KW Variant 3 coilover suspension kit, and new rear tyres. The cabin is part-trimmed in black leather upholstery, and retains the 2+2 interior with compact rear seats.The car is offered with a well-documented history, including original owner's book pack. The current owner is just the fifth keeper in more than 27 years, and has had the keys for the past dozen of them. ‘G1 MND’ also includes the original tool-kit. The registration number is not included in the sale - though is open for separate negotiation. Coming to auction with an indicated 79,850 miles on the odometer, ‘G1 MND’ is considered in fine condition throughout. The paintwork and interior are described by the vendor as in ‘good’ condition, while the engine, transmission, electrics, and bodywork are all rated as ‘excellent’. Offered with MOT until May 2025 and a recent service, ‘G1 MND’ is a perfect opportunity to obtain a cherished example of an extremely covetable and appreciating 911; Porsche’s 993 Carrera S.The 993 is Porsche’s fourth generation of its famous 911 sportscar. Built from 1994, the 993 was offered in four different body-styles – coupe, convertible, targa, and speedster. The last of the air-cooled 911s, the 993 was significantly changed from its predecessor, with just 20% of its parts carried over from the third-generation 964. The 993 was the first generation to feature a six-speed manual transmission as standard. Though most iterations were offered with a four-speed Tiptronic automatic as an option, which became the Tiptronic S from 1995, with steering-mounted controls to change gear. Models included the Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera 4S, Carrera RS, Turbo, Turbo S, and GT2, with rear- or four-wheel drive offered across much of the range. Production ended in 1998, replacing the 993 with the 996.In summary:Fascinating wide-body 993 Carrera SRelatively low mileage example of a desirable 911Highly original and cherished model
Registration - XPL 502GChassis No. - CA2SB/1296970AM.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 45,255Immaculate in Island Blue, this example of Austin’s Mini Cooper MkII has undergone a complete restoration and, as such, is a highly-desirable way to get into classic Mini ownership. Powered by the 1.0-litre four-cylinder engine from the period, matched to a four-speed manual gearbox, ‘XPL 502G’ is described as in ‘better than factory’ condition by the vendor, who has had the Mini restored by renowned firm Retro Refinishers of Cannock. After a full body rebuild, with new heritage panels where required, undersealing and Waxoyl, ‘XPL 502G’ is finished in its original colour of Island Blue bodywork with Snowberry White roof. The interior is trimmed in black, and has also been subject to restoration, with seats and door cards in excellent condition, while upgrades include a conversion to dry suspension, 7.5-inch Cooper S brake discs, electronic ignition, phosphor bronze brake lines, stainless steel exhaust, and adapted engine for unleaded petrol. Other than that, the engine, carburettors, and transmission have not been upgraded or tuned. All work has been sympathetically completed, retaining the charm of the classic Mini. The speedometer has period Cooper yellow gear change markings, and upholstery, carpets, and metal-work have been worked on, with everything kept as original or in-period as possible. More than £25,000 has been spent on reconditioning ‘XPL 502G’ with a folder full of paperwork covering work completed, as well as a full history of the Mini including heritage certificate and previous owner log books. The present owner is just the sixth in more than 55 years of ‘XPL 502G’ being on the road, having owned it for over nine years, with the restoration coming in 2016. Since then, it has been dry-stored and driven infrequently, having covered only 400 miles since, according to the vendor. Unsurprisingly, they describe all areas of the Mini as in ‘excellent’ condition, from engine and transmission, through to electrics, interior, paint, and bodywork. The odometer shows just 45,255 miles, which are unwarranted, but should that be correct, would represent a very low mileage example for its age. This beautiful car is a brilliant buy for anyone looking at classic Minis. With the reverberations of the 1956-1957 Suez Crisis being felt worldwide, Leonard Lord lost little time in commissioning Alec Issigonis to begin work on a radical small car project. Apart from the constraint of using existing BMC mechanical assemblies, and a brief to house four adults plus their luggage within as small a space as possible, the brilliant Issigonis was given carte blanche. His response was the now legendary Mini. Featuring an ingenious transverse-mounted powertrain (with engine sat atop the gearbox), all-round independent 'rubber cone' suspension, front-wheel drive and compact rack and pinion steering, the newcomer was a packaging masterpiece; not to mention one of the most influential automotive designs ever conceived. The MkII version (1967-1970) brought a redesigned grille and larger rear window, with around 429,000 units produced during the MkII run. In summary:Wonderfully presented example of the Mk II Austin Mini CooperFully and sympathetically restoredOnly a handful of miles covered since restoration
Registration - DSA 161BChassis No. - HAD.4030905M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 69,247This handsome 1964 Vauxhall Viva HA is finished in cheery bright blue with a cream interior, giving it a surprisingly contemporary appearance. The two-door car has a 1057cc engine and four-speed manual gearbox, and the vendor says that, being the Deluxe model, it is fitted with optional disc brakes and upgraded wheels. Restored in the past, the bodywork is in ‘average’ condition, with just some small areas requiring attention, while paintwork is ‘good’, as are the engine and transmission. With just over 69,000 miles on the odometer, the vendor says ‘DSA 161B’ would make an ideal starter classic for an enthusiast. The original Vauxhall Viva, known as the HA, was introduced in 1963. It shared the same floorpan and engines as fellow GM partner brand Opel’s German Kadett A. However, a great pub fact is that Vauxhall used imperial measurements, while Open used metric meaning that although they look similar, few parts are interchangeable. The first new small Vauxhall since 1936, it competed with the Ford Anglia and Austin 1100, and set new standards in its day for drivability and ease of use. It proved to be a huge success, with almost 310,000 models produced in little more than two years. In summary:Bright and bold Vauxhall Viva HAOriginal TowbarDeluxe model with desirable extrasAn ideal starter classic for an enthusiast
Registration - S632 RECChassis No. - ZZZ992XS601782M.O.T. - 12MonthsOdometer - 49,426Presented in rich blue, this example of Porsche’s 911 Carrera is an early example of the 996 generation sports car. Powered by Porsche’s 3.4-litre flat-six engine - the first of the water-cooled 911s - ’S632 REC’ uses a six-speed manual gearbox, and produced 300hp when new. Fitted with five-spoke Porsche Turbo alloy wheels, the 996 Carrera’s interior features an interior upholstered in grey leather. Factory-fitted equipment includes electric and heated front seats, electric windows, cruise control, Porsche audio system, and space-saver spare wheel with toolkit.’S632 REC’ has had just eight owners from new, with the current keeper having owned this 996 Carrera for almost four of the 25 years it has been on the road. The odometer shows an indicated 49,426 miles, a very low figure for its age, though this is unwarranted, and ’S632 REC’ will come with a 12-month MOT. It is presented in fine overall condition throughout, with all areas - from engine and transmission, to electrics, bodywork, paint, and interior - rated as ‘good’ by the vendor.Sought-after example of the appreciating 996-era 911Relatively low mileage modelWell equipped, including desirable six-speed manual transmissionThe fifth generation of Porsche’s iconic 911, the 996 was manufactured from 1997 in all three body styles – coupe, convertible, and targa. The two most significant new features were the ‘fried egg’ headlight clusters, rather than rounder units found in 911s before and since, and, more importantly, the change to a water-cooled engine from the traditional air-cooled units. Offered initially in coupe and cabriolet forms, the 996 came with rear-wheel drive and the 3.4-litre six cylinder engine, before seeing that expanded to offering four-wheel drive in the Carrera 4 later on. In 2000, Porsche introduced the Turbo version, with four-wheel drive and a larger 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged engine, before focused GT variants – GT2, GT3, and GT3 RS – were presented to the public before its replacement in 2006.
Registration - MV51 EXNChassis No. - WBABL32090JP73328M.O.T. - December 2024Odometer - 33,800This gloriously original 2001 BMW 318Ci Coupe is a refreshing antidote to many similar-age models available. Described as a well looked-after vehicle, its condition reflects this, with clean and blemish-free silver paintwork combined with fresh upholstery set off by silver trim. Despite its model moniker, the 318Ci uses an advanced 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, with the vendor describing both it and the five-speed transmission as being in ‘good’ condition. It has ‘good’ bodywork, paintwork and interior too, and the odometer reads just 33,800 miles. In a further boost to its provenance, ‘MV51EZN’ has been in the same family ownership throughout its life, with records showing just two owners from new. It has a full service history that, up to 2016, was carried out by the highly-regarded Williams BMW outlet. “It also has loads of bills and receipts of work done.” This 2001 BMW Coupe comes with all the owner's manuals, service books and two keys. The E46 BMW 3 Series was introduced in 1998. With styling by Chris Bangle, it was engineered by Wolfgang Ziebart, under the leadership of Dr Wolfgang Reitzle. An exceptionally well-developed car, the BMW E46 was a star car right from launch, and the sleek, understated coupe model, introduced in 1999, only enhanced this further. A favourite among BMW enthusiasts today, the reputation of the BMW E46 is set only to grow and grow – making highly-original cars like this a great investment. In summary:Same family ownership since newThe odometer reads just 33,800 milesWell cared for and highly original
Registration - X576 PBDChassis No. - SCCGA1113YHC32230M.O.T. - May 2025Odometer - 27,708This excellent example of Lotus’ Elise Series I is presented in elegant silver, and features the stripped-back nature that made the sports car such a success. Powered by a 1.8-litre straight-four engine from Rover, matched to a five-speed manual gearbox, ‘X576 PBD’ makes best use of its relatively modest power thanks to its exceptionally low weight. Inside, the cabin features seats trimmed in blue leather… and not much else. But that’s the point of the Elise, created in the ‘less is more’ mantra on which Lotus was built. Manual window winders, heater controls, and switchgear for lights are about all that is fitted, maximising the weight-savings for that famous Elise driving experience. ‘X576 PBD’ has only had three registered owners in almost 24 years on the road, and has covered an exceptionally low mileage. The odometer indicates 27,708 miles, with MOT records showing it has only covered a few hundred miles a year since 2008 this further backed up by an extensive history file including maintanence records with nine service stamps, the last being in 2023 at 27,343 miles. It has also benefited from a cam-belt and waterpump kit in 2020. The Elise comes complete with a removable factory hard-top, a removable canvas roof in blue, and an MOT until May 2025. It is immaculately presented, and ‘X576 PBD’ is a fine late-example of an appreciating modern classic sports car. The Lotus Elise is a model that helped save the company, proving a critical and financial success for the Norfolk-based manufacturer. Launched in 1996, the Elise is built on an extruded aluminium chassis, with a fibre-glass body, maintaining an extremely low kerb weight. This helped the Elise achieve a sub-6 second 0-60mph time, despite only being powered by a four-cylinder 120hp Rover engine, while at the same time helping make the Lotus one of the finest driver’s cars on the road. Special editions came along including the 111S with a boost in power to 145hp, a roofless 340R , and hard-top Exige, until production ceased in 2001.In summary: Sought-after example of the original Series I EliseOffered with removable factory hard-topA very low mileage example with service history
Registration - CU06 JVXChassis No. - SCBCE63W06C038839M.O.T. - NoOdometer - 75,000 2006 Bentley Continental GT ‘CU06 JVX’ is being offered for sale after being in the care of its late owner since 2018. Presented in white with beige leather interior, it has been rated by the vendor’s estate’s representative as ‘good’ with regards to 6-litre eight-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, interior and electrics, and ‘average’ for bodywork and paintwork. An HPI check reveals that this car was original painted green, though does not confirm a date of colour change. MOT records appear to support the indicated 75,000 mileage. Launched at the 2003 Geneva Salon, the Continental GT differed from the previous Continental R and T models in being mass produced rather coach-built, which allowed far greater numbers to be manufactured at a more attractive price – the cost at launch was literally less than half that of Continental R, thereby dramatically widening the potential customer base. The four-wheel drive coupe in optimal Speed form was powered by a twin-turbocharged W12 engine of 6.0-litres, the output of which was a mighty 600bhp – sufficient for a 0-60mph acceleration time of some 4.3 seconds and top speed in excess of 200mph! Other elements that differentiated the Speed model from its standard siblings included lower suspension and wider-rimmed alloy wheels shod with Pirelli P Zero tyres.

Registration - 946 UYLChassis No. - 589K06030M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 40,300This grand and graceful 1958 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight is a real high-impact LHD American classic – with added celebrity kudos, having appeared in an episode of The Crown on Netflix. Originally sold by Bradley Oldsmobile in Tulsa (whose dealer emblem remains on the bootlid) in August 1958, it remained in the state for 33 years, before moving to Kansas, and eventually being imported into the UK. In terms of condition, the vendor reports it is ‘excellent’ throughout, including exterior, interior and mechanicals. “High points are superb original seats, carpets, trunk area, chrome, stainless trim and glass.” They add that the body is corrosion-free, the paint is original and they have resisted the temptation to paint it: to make truly perfect, the bonnet would benefit from some attention. In 2002, it enjoyed a full engine and transmission removal and overhaul, with the vendor regularly servicing it during their stewardship. ‘946UYL’ comes with a very comprehensive history that includes a trophy for winning the Classic American Magazine Stars & Stripes event at Tatton Park in 2017, plus a prize for best 1950s American car at the 2019 event. The car was later displayed at the NEC on the Classic American stand. It has also been featured in a detailed magazine article, a copy of which will be included in the sale. The 6.1-litre V8 engine is paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, with an odometer reading 40,300 miles. The vendor reports it drives very well, starting easily with no smoke or noises. ‘946UYL’ is fitted with the rare factory-fit air conditioning, but because this wasn’t working, the vendor has removed the compressor and condenser to store them in a dry place for future attention. The vendor adds they have owned American cars for nearly 50 years “and know what a good car should be like: this is a superb find”. The Oldsmobile 98 (also spelled Ninety-Eight) was the American firm’s full-size range-topper that ran from the 1940s right through to 1996. The name refers to it being a ‘Series 90’ fitted with a V8 engine. Naturally, being a top-line model (the Oldsmobile equivalent of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, if you like), it pioneered many high-tech features of the time, such as automatic transmission and automatically-dimming headlights. The fifth generation Oldsmobile 98 was introduced in 1957, with avant-garde styling including dramatic side feature lines, and with high-level equipment such as power steering, power brakes and electric windows. All were powered by a 6.1-litre ‘Rocket’ V8 engine, with a four-speed Hydramatic automatic transmission. The cars measured an astonishing 5.5 metres long, and were offered in both two-door and four-door hard-top and convertible versions. The fifth generation lasted just two years before a complete redesign in 1959.

Registration - F11 TYPChassis No. - SAJAC65B6E8K03512M.O.T. - July 2025Odometer - 12,000Resplendent in racing red, this Jaguar F-Type S convertible is an early example, and offered at no reserve. Fitted with a cherished registration, which is included in the sale, ‘F11 TYP’ uses Jaguar’s 3.0-litre supercharged V6 and eight-speed Quickshift automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddles. Performance when new saw 380hp help move the F-Type S from 0-62mph in just 4.8 seconds, seeing this roadster continue Jaguar’s fine tradition of open-top sportscars. The interior features black leather seats with red stitching, while the dashboard and centre console is in black with silver highlights. Factory-fitted features include Jaguar’s high-performance braking system with red brake callipers, adaptive sports suspension, active sports exhaust, sports seats, and multi-function steering wheel.The F-Type S has had just two owners from new, with the current keeper’s tenure lasting more than eight years. It has been looked after by Jaguar dealerships from new, and features a full service history, as well as having no advisories on the last MOT. ‘F11 TYP’ has been kept in dry storage for some time, due to health issues, and as such has had a new battery fitted. It also helps explain the low indicated mileage, with just 12,000 miles showing on the odometer, and fewer than 1,000 of those in the last three years according to MOT reports. The vendor describes ‘F11 TYP’ as being in 'superb' overall condition, with only the paintwork described as ‘good’; the rest of the car, including engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork, and interior are all reckoned ‘excellent’.Offered at no reserveLow mileage exampleStunning supercharged Jaguar roadsterJaguar launched the F-Type in 2013, based on the well-received C-X16 concept shown at Frankfurt Motor Show in 2011. Pitched as the spiritual successor to the E-Type, clear styling cues from Jaguar’s most famous model are clear, but it’s a thoroughly modern design, penned by a team led by Ian Callum. Despite the concept car being a coupe, it was the roadster that was launched first, followed by the coupe a year later in 2014. Each were available in standard, S, and R specifications, all super charged, with the former two using V6 units, and the R powered by a supercharged V8 producing almost 500hp. A high-performance SVR version arrived in 2016, before a facelift was introduced in 2019. This saw slimmer light clusters and sharpened design, as well as the introduction of an entry-level 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, beneath the two V6 units and the V8. Production ran until 2024, with almost 88,000 models produced.
Registration - GOV 750WChassis No. - TPADJ7AT205451M.O.T. - TBCOdometer - TBCCheerfully presented in sky blue, this example of Triumph’s TR7 convertible is powered by the firm’s 2.0-litre straight four and manual gearbox. Offered at no reserve, ‘GOV 750W’ is fitted with Triumph’s multi-spoke star wheels and folding roof, while inside the interior is specified to complement the exterior bodywork. The seats and door cards are trimmed in blue vinyl with tartan cloth panels, and the centre console has wood veneer trim - matching the wood-rimmed steering wheel and gear knob. ‘GOV 750W’ is offered as a project car, in need of some TLC. The odometer reads only 29,262 miles, which is an incredibly low figure for what is a 44 year old model, and as such is unwarranted. MOT records support that figure back to 2006, however, the TR7’s MOT last expired in April 2017 and hasn’t been tested since. ‘GOV 750W’ comes with a folder of paperwork and, although can be seen in the photos, is far from concours level, represents good foundations for someone to stamp their mark on the car.Offered at no reserveIdeal project modelDesirable convertible example of Triumph’s TR7Representing a significant departure from the TR6 that preceded it, the Triumph TR7 came with wedge styling typical of the time, and proved a successful export model for the British manufacturer. Introduced in 1975 in the United States, it took more than 12 months for the TR7 to go on sale in the UK because of demand overseas. Powered by a four-cylinder petrol engine and four-speed manual gearbox initially, later developments saw the option of a five-speed manual or three-speed automatic introduced. Triumph also developed a V8 powered version - technically the TR8 - which used a Rover 3.5-litre V8, focused on the US market, and the firm also took it rallying as the TR7 V8. Production lasted until 1981, after around 115,000 models had been built, and marked the end of Triumph as a sports car manufacturer.
Registration - FOU 165WChassis No. - 1552010783M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 12,693A cherished example of a highly-characterful model, this example of Volkswagen’s Beetle 1303 Karmann Cabriolet is powered by a 1,584cc air-cooled four-cylinder engine that is almost inextricably linked with one of VW’s most famous vehicles. Presented in vivid red, ‘FOU 165W’ features a functioning folding roof, with this convertible Beetle having undergone full professional restoration around 1990. It received a new engine during this work, driving a four-speed manual gearbox, and has been fitted with beautifully maintained wire wheels and chrome bumpers. The interior was not overlooked, with the cabin upholstered in black leather, along with matching door cards. The 1.6-litre engine was new when it was installed during the restoration, and shows fewer than 13,000 miles - averaging fewer than 500 miles per annum since it was fitted. MOT records support the odometer to this date, but there is no guarantee of pre-restoration mileage. ‘FOU 165W’ is reported as having been in the same ownership for 43 years by the vendor, and was imported into the UK from Germany in April 1981. It was converted to right-hand drive, and has always been kept in a garage, alongside annual services, further showcasing the cherished nature of its ownership. Because of this, the seller describes this Beetle 1303 Karmann Cabriolet as being in ‘excellent’ condition across the board, from engine and transmission, to electrics, interior, bodywork, and paint. Karmann introduced a convertible version of Volkswagen’s Beetle in 1949, offering a practical four-seat, two-door take on the saloon model. This followed Volkswagen commissioning the coachbuilders to design and build a four-seater convertible, and another firm, Hebmuller to create a two-seater model. Fitted with a folding, insulated canvas roof, reinforcements were made to the body to compensate for the removal of its roof. As such, only around half of the body panels found on a Karmann Cabriolet are shared with the steel-roofed saloon. This includes taller doors and rear three-quarter panels, though mechanically the Cabriolet is identical to the saloon, thanks to the way the Beetle was produced. Karmann continued production through until 1980, when the final Beetle Cabriolet rolled out of the factory, following more than 330,000 units having been made. · Low mileage example of Volkswagen’s Beetle Karmann Cabriolet.· Fully restored and converted to right-hand drive.· Imported from Germany, with same owner for more than 40 years.

Powered by Honda’s free-revving and much-admired 2.0-litre four-cylinder VTEC engine, ‘KX05 VKM’ uses a six-speed manual gearbox to put the power to the rear wheels. Featuring a driver-focused cabin, with switchgear stacked around the instruments in close proximity to the steering wheel, this S2000 showcases the model’s engineering as a driver’s car. This cherished example has been in the current owner’s care for the last nine years, and has been well-maintained throughout the Honda’s near 20 years on the road. It has at least 10 stamps in the service book, a full service history and owner's manuals, two keys, and Honda service folder. ‘KX05 VKM’ also comes with the original toolkit and jack, and has been serviced and MOT’d every year. The vendor considers all areas of the S2000 as in ‘excellent’ condition, which includes the engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork, paint, interior, and electrics. Reading an indicated 41,000 miles on the odometer, the seller tells us this Honda S2000 is completely original and standard - an increasingly rare find in today’s market. Released to celebrate Honda’s 50th anniversary, the S2000 was introduced in 1999, and featured one of the most highly-regarded engines of the era from any manufacturer - the 2.0 VTEC. The roadster carried on the traditions of Honda’s past sportscars, linking them with the ’S’ prefix, and sticking with the front-engine, rear-wheel drive classic roadster lay-out. Launching with the AP1 version, this used double-wishbone suspension, electric power steering, and a 50:50 weight distribution to provide a true competitor in the sports car segment. Five years later, a very mild visual refresh saw more significant changes under the metal, with revised suspension one of the biggest improvements to improve handling. By the time the S2000 came of sale in 2009, more than 110,000 units had been produced.In Summary:Increasingly sought-after example of Honda’s S2000Fun-to-drive roadster in 'superb' conditionLow indicated mileage for its age
Registration - EJ02 MJEChassis No. - SAJAC12L92KF56022M.O.T. - August 2024Odometer - 64,000This 2002 Jaguar XK8 is offered in a modern and elegant combination of light blue metallic paint with light grey leather interior. Notably, this is one of the last X308-generation Jaguar XJ models, with the car being replaced later in 2002 with the aluminium X350 version. This makes it desirable amongst enthusiasts, particularly as it comes with the charismatic 3.2-litre V8 that combines perfectly with a creamy automatic transmission. Adding to the appeal is 'EJ02 MJE’s odometer reading of 64,000 miles. The vendor has owned the car for seven years, and reports it comes with a very comprehensive history file – “it has been well looked after throughout its time”. The car even comes with its original leather Jaguar service wallet, which shows a reassuring patina as evidence of plentiful maintenance over the years. The engine, transmission and electrics are all described as being in ‘excellent’ condition, while the bodywork, paintwork and interior are said to all be in ‘good’ condition too. The fabled X308-generation Jaguar XJ8 was introduced in 1997 as the third and final iteration of the 1986 Jaguar XJ40 architecture. While it was visually similar to the previous X300 generation, it gained new Jaguar independent rear suspension and, most notably, a home-grown new AJ-V8 engine, replacing the previous in-line six-cylinder engines. It also received a brand-new interior, similar to that of the new Jaguar XK8 GT car. Contemporary reviewers almost universally agreed that Jaguar had produced a world-class luxury saloon, and it went on to be a well-loved and popular range of cars right up until it was succeeded by the aluminium-bodied X350 Jaguar XK in 2002.

Registration - GLM 354TChassis No. - GCATWK00130M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 49,000This stunning-looking 1979 Ford Escort RS2000 hides a tantalising secret beneath its iconic Signal Yellow bodywork – it has been upgraded to Cosworth turbo running gear. The red-top 2.0-litre DOHC 16v engine, as used in legends such as the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth, produces more than 200bhp and, driving through a five-speed gearbox with power sent to the rear wheels, gives this crowd-stopping car the performance to take your breath away. ‘GLM354T’ is a genuine road-going rally-spec car, with a roll cage, alloy fuel tank in the boot, plus rear coil-over suspension with torsion bar. It has been built for the thriving classic rallying scene, so blends a period appearance with high-performance componentry, and the vendor says it has just had a new timing belt, plugs, plus an oil and filter change. The car sits on 13-inch Minilite alloy wheels with its rally-spec suspension giving it a lowered stance on the road. Inside, the famous RS2000 ‘fishnet’ Recaro seats are present, and equipped with race-ready Willans safety harnesses. The rear seats have been removed, as have the carpets, as part of the rally-spec overhaul. The original Ford Escort RS2000 steering wheel remains, as does the classic five-dial instrument pack, with additional dials and gauges on the centre console. The car also has an approved fire extinguisher and ignition cut-off switch. The odometer reads 49,000 miles, and the vendor reports the car is in 'good' condition throughout, including engine, transmission and electrics, bodywork, paintwork and interior.

The vendor says they spent around £15,000, including a rebuilt engine, full bare-metal bodywork, paint and re-trim that includes all-new brightwork. It was a “real labour of love” and all invoices and receipts are included. A 998cc Mini, ‘XRO 505X’ has an odometer reading 31,093 miles and is described simply as being in ‘excellent’ condition throughout, including engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork, paintwork and interior. As with all Mini Vans, this 1981 car retains features from 1960s' Minis, including the sliding side windows and hollowed-out door panels with roomy stowage compartments. It has a ‘three dial’ instrument binnacle (rather than the more basic single dial of the Mini Van 850) and unpainted dashboard crossmember. It even retains external door hinges, while desirable touches include a fresh set of quality Falken tyres for the 10-inch wheels. The 1959 Mini needs no introduction; it is arguably Britain’s most iconic car ever. The Mini Van was introduced just a year later, in 1960, based on the longer Mini Traveller estate chassis. As it was classified as a commercial vehicle, with a quarter-ton load capacity, it carried no sales tax and was cheaper than the Mini saloon. In order to cut the cost of production, it featured a simple stamped steel front end, instead of a more costly grille. It remained in production virtually unchanged until 1983, with more than 520,000 being built. In summary:Fully restored 1981 Mini Van“A real labour of love” with around £15,000 spent on restorationMany period touches to please Mini aficionados
Registration - P1 FTUChassis No. - JF1GM8KDGYG003303M.O.T. - July 2025Odometer - 111,693One of the most sought-after of Subaru’s limited editions, this Impreza P1 showcases its rallying-inspired pedigree in a number of ways, most striking of which must surely be the Sonic Blue paintwork in which it is presented. ‘P1 FTU’ uses Subaru’s ubiquitous 2.0-litre four-cylinder boxer engine, turbocharged and fettled to produce more than 270hp when new. This is hooked up to a five-speed manual gearbox, with the powertrain forming the core around which the Impreza P1 was created. Worked on by racing and rallying experts Prodrive, the P1 uses a lighter and stronger two-door saloon body, rather than the more commonly available four-door offerings officially imported to the UK by Subaru. This matches the Impreza’s set-up throughout some of its most illustrious rallying years, and ‘P1 FTU’ features the revised suspension, AMS, OZ Racing wheels, and fettled aerodynamics as other Impreza P1s. With an interior trimmed in black and Subaru blue, a Momo steering wheel, and white dials, the performance intent is clear from the off, and there’s Prodrive’s limited edition plaque on the centre console, forward of the gear stick, showing that ‘P1 FTU’ is the 985th of just 1,000 models produced. Fitted with its original stereo and fog light surrounds, this example of Subaru’s Impreza P1 has an indicated 111,693 miles on the clock. The current owner - the seventh in the car’s 23 years on the road - has had it rust treated, and doesn’t drive the Impreza P1 in winter, preferring to keep usage to drier days. They describe all areas of ‘P1 FTU’ as being in ‘good’ condition, which covers the engine, transmission, paint, bodywork, electrics, and interior. As a highly regarded example of Subaru’s Impreza limited editions, this is a rare opportunity to get hold of a genuinely works rally team fettled model. One of just 1,000 Impreza P1 models producedLargely original and in ‘good’ condition throughoutTuned by famous racing firm Prodrive Continuing off the back of Impreza fever, which took a stranglehold in the UK in the mid-late 1990s, at the turn of the Millenium, Subaru commissioned Prodrive to create one of its sportiest examples to date – the Impreza P1. With a burgeoning grey-import market for high-performance Impreza models that were unavailable in the UK, Subaru wanted to offer its potential customers a full-fat Impreza – and called on the same company that ran its World Rally Championship team to produce it. Banbury-based Prodrive took Subaru’s Japan-only Impreza Tyre R and altered it for European roads. It became the first two-door Impreza to be officially sold by Subaru in the country, and used the already prodigious underpinnings of the Type R, improving upon them for UK drivers. As such, a custom suspension set-up was created, and a new engine map installed that took power to 280hp – the highest figure available under a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ between Japanese manufacturers; though in reality, outputs were often higher. Changes to the engine, chassis, suspension, and electronics – as well as aerodynamic features such as the front splitter and rear wing being created by design supremo Peter Stevens (of McLaren F1 fame) – meant the Impreza P1 had genuine supercar-bothering performance in its time. Only 1,000 units were produced, all in Sonic Blue.
Registration - RUL 488RChassis No. - 93161875CM.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 52,000This fine example of patinated Land Rover heritage is a matching numbers 1977 Series III 109” Station Wagon. Powered by Land Rover’s 2,286cc straight-four petrol engine, with four-speed low and high range manual transmission, and presented in Marine Blue over body-colour interior, ‘RUL 488R’ includes ‘Deluxe’ seating for 10 in the classic five-door long-wheelbase estate. Those seats are upholstered in black vinyl, which is far from the only concession to comfort. The vehicle is also fitted with the double-skinned Tropical roof, which includes Alpine windows set into the curvature of the cream-coloured roof. This matches the wheels, which are fitted with period free-wheeling hubs to reduce transmission drag at higher speeds. ‘RUL 488R’ has benefitted from recent services and work carried out to the value of more than £3,500, and there is a file of documentation supporting its history. Other recent expenditure includes a work on a brake overhaul, lift pump, seat bases, and new bulkhead footwells. While not included in the sale, a Fairey Overdrive unit is available at separate negotiation to the buyer. Records show that there have been just six different keepers in the Land Rover’s 47 year life, and this would help support - though it remains unwarranted - an indicated 51,978 miles showing on the odometer. Described as being in ‘good’ to ‘average’ condition throughout, the engine is rated by the seller as the latter, though the transmission, bodywork, and interior are considered the former. The paintwork? Well, that has been described as ‘average’ though caveated by the vendor as ‘depending on what you like’. Ready for a continued life as a workhorse, or as an ideal canvas for restoration, ‘RUL 488R’ is a characterful example of an ever popular model. Famously designed by Maurice Wilks in the sand of Red Wharf Bay, not even the most optimistic of on-lookers could have expected the runaway success that the Land Rover would become. It all started in 1948 with the Land Rover 80” – though clearly it became known as the Series I; initially it was simply the Land Rover. It came about essentially as a stop-gap for Rover to produce affordable vehicles in post-war Britain, and although inspired by the Willys Jeep, it went on to become hugely successful – not just in terms of sales, but in capabilities too. In 1954, the 80” was replaced by an 86” wheelbase, and with the addition of a long-wheelbase 107” model, the former became the short-wheelbase variant. These only lasted a couple of years however, before a rejig of the design brought about the 88” and 109” models in 1956, with a diesel option arriving a year later. Land Rover realised that continued and significant improvements would need to be made, and in 1958 these were significant enough to create a Series II Land Rover, thereafter ensuring the original versions became known as the Series I. The Series II ran from 1958 until 1961 and introduced further variants, including a 12-seater version, as well as Forward Control commercial models. The Series III arrived after the Series II A in 1971, and although it was largely a mild change from the outgoing model initially, by the end of its production run in 1985, a range of alterations to engines and trim had come about, and it covered the one millionth Land Rover produced, in 1976. In summary: Low mileage example of a Series III 109 Station WagonConsiderable recent work carried outWell specified, with practical period features
Registration - KRT 77VChassis No. - GVGEJ1AG512283M.O.T. - June 2025Odometer - 78,032Inspired by MG’s works racing efforts of the 1960s, this cherished example of the MGB GT is offered at no reserve, and has been fitted with Sebring-style bumpers front and rear, creating a rare and desirable look for one of MG’s most beloved models. Powered by a 1.8-litre version of MG’s four-cylinder engine, ‘KRT 77V’ has a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. The two-door coupe, presented in racing red features a full-length matching-colour canvas sunroof. The interior is upholstered in black, with red piping, and wood veneer dashboard. Period features include the wood-rimmed Moto Lita-style steering wheel, and externally, the Minilite-style alloys - fitted with new tyres - and headlight covers complement the Sebring-inspired bumpers. This late example of MG’s hard-top MGB has been well cared for, and used as intended with a recent road trip to Spa. ‘KRT 77V’ comes with a comprehensive folder of paperwork and invoices during its time on the road, this MGB GT is considered in fine condition by the vendor. They describe the bodywork, paintwork, and interior as being in ‘good’ condition, while the engine, transmission, and electrics are rated as ‘excellent’. The odometer reads only 78,032 miles which, if accurate, is a relatively low figure for a car that’s more than 44 years old. Racing-inspired style with ‘Sebring bumpers’Cherished example with large folder of paperworkOffered at no reserve Initially, the MGB was only available in roadster form – the Pininfarina-penned hatchback GT derivative with 2+2 seating not being offered until October 1965. The MKII model of 1967 brought an updated manual gearbox with revised ratios and synchromesh on all gears, as well as the option of a Borg Warner automatic unit. Other changes included a revised rear axle and a switch from dynamos to alternators. With the MKIII derivative of 1972 came a new facia and improved heater. However, the biggest visual change in the car’s history occurred two years later, when steel reinforced plastic bumpers replaced the chrome ones and the ride height was raised by one inch. These amendments were demanded by the American market, which had accounted for much of the car’s production from day one. By the time MGB GT production ceased in 1980, a total of 125,282 examples had been produced.
Registration - NR57 ANGChassis No. - 1FA6P8CF1G5305692M.O.T. - 12 MonthsOdometer - 24,000Any Ford Mustang is desirable, but this 2016 5.0-litre V8 GT is particularly special, thanks to a series of expert modifications that further enhance the world’s best-selling sports car. The vendor reports they have owned it for the past two years and ‘NR57 ANG’ has been enhanced to a very high standard. Improvements include a full carbon fibre bonnet and rear spoiler – and the expensively-crafted carbon fibre is exposed beneath a clear coat layer, for maximum visual contrast with the red paint. It also has an upgraded bumper and side skirts, which benefit from a repaint to a high standard. Visually, this Mustang GT V8 looks fantastic, with the tastefully purposeful modifications helping make it a real head-turner. The modifications are not simply visual, either. This UK-supplied right-hand drive Mustang, which has an odometer reading 24,000 miles, also has upgraded suspension torsion bars, while the regular bushes have been replaced with fine-tuned poly bushes, and the rear subframe has had modifications to stiffen it, something that Mustang experts say helps sharpen and transform the handling. Black 19-inch alloy wheels with premium Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres help make the most of these worthwhile suspension improvements. Even the glorious 5.0-litre engine has been enhanced. Tuning parts from noted Mustang specialist Steeda, in combination with an upgraded exhaust that cost in excess of £3,000, help it now deliver more than 500bhp via the choice six-speed manual gearbox, for performance that is now a match for a Porsche. The vendor says that, in total, the upgrade work cost around £20,000, creating one of the UK’s most well-honed modern Ford Mustang GTs. As is clear from the images, the vendor says it is in ‘excellent’ condition throughout, and its new owner will enjoy a full 12 month’s MOT – along with the highly desirable ‘NR57 ANG’ registration plate that is the crowning glory of this thrilling sports car. The original Ford Mustang was introduced in 1964 and it has remained in continuous production in America ever since – indeed, it holds the record as the longest-produced Ford. Sold across multiple generations, Brits were denied a right-hand drive Mustang for decades: our equivalent was the Ford Capri. But in 2015, with the launch of the sixth-generation Mustang (known as the S550), right-hand drive became available for the first time. ‘Pony car’ fans could take either a 2.3-litre four-cylinder turbo or, as most rightly did, the thrilling 5.0-litre V8. The car quickly developed a cult following here in the UK, with many of American’s expert modification brands such as Steeda tapping into this enthusiasm. Nowadays, the Ford Mustang is firmly established in the UK as a very fine fast Ford indeed.

Trimmed in cream leather throughout the interior, this 300 SEL includes equipment such as electric windows and sunroof, power steering, and power assisted brakes. It is fresh from a full restoration, including new carpets and door cards. Stripped down to bare metal, ‘AWW 303K’ has been rebuilt from the ground up, and it looks as fresh as when it would have rolled out of the factory. The vendor has owned the 300 SEL since 2020, and believes the indicated 22,000 km (a little over 13,600 miles) to be credible, though this cannot be warranted. The engine and gearbox were reckoned to be in perfect working order when inspected as part of the refurbishment, and the seller considers all aspects of the car - engine, transmission, interior, bodywork, paint, and electrics - as in ‘excellent’ condition. Invoices for parts worth more than £20,000 are included as part of a large file of paperwork. Designed by Paul Bracq and one of the great classic Mercedes-Benz saloons, the W108/W109 was launched in 1065 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, with a series of straight-six engines. However, the model is a key landmark in the company’s history, as in 1966 an engineer dropped in the large 6.3-litre V8 from Mercedes’ flagship 600 saloon, creating a famous road car that was raced - the ‘Red Pig’. A facelift version was launched in 1967, which introduced V8 power in 3.5-litre form, and then 4.5-litre capacity for the US market. At the time of the saloon’s replacement in 1972, more than 390,000 units had been produced, of which around 9,500 were the 300 SEL.

It is described as being in ‘good’ condition throughout, including engine and transmission, bodywork, paintwork and interior. ‘YJ05 KYN’ has an odometer reading 86,000 miles. The vendor says they bought it off a friend two years ago, who owned it for 12 years, giving the reassurance of long-term ownership. It has a full service history from both Porsche OPC and highly-rated north of England specialist Jasmine PorschaLink UK. The UK-registered car will have 12 months’ MOT and comes with two keys plus all the owner's manuals and book packs, plus an A4 lever arch folder of receipts and invoices. The 997-era Porsche 911 was introduced in 2004 as a development of the pivotal 1998 996 Porsche 911, the firm’s first water-cooled car. It is today acclaimed by Porsche enthusiasts as one of the finest generations of 911, building on the 996 with enhanced front end styling that aped the famous 993-era 911, and an all-new interior that was much higher-quality. The 997 was developed further in 2005 with the launch of the more powerful Carrera S, which boasted a larger 360bhp 3.8-litre engine, larger wheels and uprated brakes, lowered suspension and sports exhaust. The 997 Porsche 911 was well-received by reviewers from the start, with even Jeremy Clarkson stating that it would “stir your soul”.

Registration - E183 SFXChassis No. - WPO22292ZJN400590M.O.T. - October 2024Odometer - 80,771This a rare opportunity to acquire one of just 74 RHD UK-market limited edition 924Ss which were built in celebration of Porsche’s win at Le Mans in 1988. Of the 74, 37 were produced in Alpine white livery and 34 in the black livery sported by ‘E183 SFX’. Generally regarded as the most desirable 924 model, the 924S Le Mans is immediately identifiable by its Le Mans logos and turquoise stripes and boasts a factory-fitted, 165bhp 2.5-litre Porsche 944 engine, lowered/adjustable sports suspension, electric sunroof, headlamp washers, power steering and cast alloy wheels, plus special sports seats, grey fabric trim with turquoise pinstriping, and sport steering wheel. ‘E183 SFX’ comes with a certificate of production documenting all the Le Mans edition optional equipment and a full history covering the past 14 years – throughout which time it has been in the current keeper’s ownership. In December 2006 the car was a category D insurance write-off but repaired and returned to full health to provide motoring enjoyment for subsequent owners. The vendor describes the engine, bodywork and five-speed manual transmission as ‘excellent’ and the electrics, paintwork and refurbished interior as ‘good’. The car has recently benefited from new brake disks, part-stainless exhaust, new sunroof motor and new speedometer cog. Once treated as something of an outsider by Porsche aficionados, the 924 has become an increasingly sought-after member of the family, The 924 served as Porsche’s entry-level model from 1976 to 1988 and effectively supplanted both the mid-engined 914 and the 912. It was the first Porsche to be powered by a water-cooled, front-mounted engine and the first to be offered with a fully automatic transmission. A joint venture with VAG, it was penned by Porsche designer Harm Lagaay and built by Volkswagen employees at the former NSU factory in Neckarsulm. By 1984 Volkswagen had decided to cease manufacture of the blocks for the 924 engine. Porsche’s solution was to install a slightly detuned version of the 2.5-litre unit from its 944 and so the 150bhp 924S was born. Barely slower than the 924 Turbo and slightly quicker than the base model 944, the S proved very popular on both sides of the Atlantic, and some 33,338 examples were eventually produced. In summary:· One of just 37 black-liveried RHD Le Mans edition 924S models produced for the UK market· An opportunity to acquire one of the most sought-after and desirable 924S variants· The special edition specification includes a 165bhp factory-fitted 944 engine
Registration - XMF 818GChassis No. - 1R20119M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 95,000A beautiful and unusual example of Jaguar’s E-type Fixed Head Coupe, this version is presented in the rarely seen Primrose Yellow - which is the factory original colour. A Series 2 model, ‘XMF 818G’ is fitted with Jaguar’s 4.2-litre straight-six XK engine, here matched to a four-speed manual transmission, with the E-type FHC now fitted - as of 2006 - with a stainless steel exhaust, which according to the vendor ‘sounds superb’. Featuring the Series 2 wrap-around rear bumper, there is plenty of chrome fitted to ‘XMF 818G’, along with the classic Jaguar wire wheels with knock off hubs. Inside, the cabin is trimmed with black leather upholstery on the seats, and a black dashboard and centre console, as well as the wide sills, while the period wood-rimmed steering wheel is retained. ‘XMF 818G’ comes with an extensive history, including a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate that confirms this E-type was an original right-hand drive model, and left the factory painted in the Primrose Yellow paint. Supplied new by Henly’s of London, there is a comprehensive folder detailing ownership from 1994 onwards, which includes all invoices of work carried out, and MOTs. As well as benefitting from a stainless steel exhaust, ‘XMF 818G’ has also had electronic ignition fitted, an electronic fuel pump, new timing chains and tensioners, and a complete overhaul of the rear axle over the years, as well as regular weatherproofing. With an indicated 95,157 miles on the odometer, MOT paperwork shows that fewer than 10,000 miles have been covered in the last 20 years - though this is not warranted. Described by the seller as being in ‘good’ condition throughout, which includes the powertrain - engine and transmission - electrics, bodywork, paint, and interior. One of the most famous cars of all time, Jaguar’s E-type has a series of tales that only add to its desirability, over and above the undoubtedly stunning design – so good that legend says it was described as ‘the most beautiful car in the world’ by a certain Signor Enzo Ferrari. Like Enzo’s creations, the E-type came from racing developments, with many parts based on systems used on Jaguar’s Le Mans-conquering D-Type racers. The E-type was launched in 1961 at the Geneva Motor Show, and was famously driven at high speed from the UK, across France, to the shores of Lake Geneva, arriving just 20 minutes before it was presented to the world. From there, the E-type has gone down as a truly iconic machine, lasting 15 years in production. The Series 1 came in both convertible two-seater roadster, and fixed-head coupe configurations, with a longer-wheelbase 2+2 coupe introduced in 1966. Launched with Jaguar’s 3.8-litre XK straight six, in 1965 this was upgraded to a 4.2-litre version of the same engine, boosting power. The Series 2 was introduced in 1968, with design tweaks to fit around US safety regulations. This saw the removal of the glass covers for the headlights, wrap-around rear bumper, and larger grille and indicators. The Series 2 lasted until 1971, when further styling changes were brought about with the Series 3, as well as the introduction of Jaguar’s V12 engine, until production ceased in 1974. In Summary:Unusual but highly regarded colour for an E-typeCherished model, with comprehensive paperworkLow recent mileage, and in ‘good’ condition across the board
Registration - NVJ 730Chassis No - S-800069M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 01,369This splendidly-presented Jaguar only had three former keepers and was within the same family from 1990 to 2023. Its white bodywork is complemented by very smart red leather upholstery, matching carpets and painted wire wheels. The Type C badges atop the XK engine’s alloy cam covers confirm the presence of the C-type cylinder head that formed part of the SE package, and everything about this genuine righthand drive roadster appears to be as per its original specification. A bout of maintenance in recent years has resulted in the fitment of a full stainless steel exhaust system, new tyres, attention to the brakes and SU carburettors and a general service. The vendor acquired the car through Hampson’s in March 2023 and is only - reluctantly - offering it for sale as he is now in poor health. He grades the engine, four-speed manual transmission, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as all being in ‘excellent’ condition. He is now selling the car complete with tonneau cover, Heritage Certificate and a history file that includes a selection of old MOTs.In 1954, the all-conquering XK120 gave way to the XK140. Visual changes included more substantial bumpers with over-riders, a one-piece radiator grille with fewer but thicker vertical slats, and a chrome strip that ran up the centre of the bonnet and continued down the middle of the boot lid, where it proudly incorporated a red shield with the words ‘Winner Le Mans 1951-3’ inscribed in gold. The braking was improved, the recirculating ball steering replaced by a rack and pinion system, suspension travel increased and the lever arm rear dampers superseded by modern telescopic units. An additional three inches of legroom was achieved by moving the engine, firewall and dashboard forwards. The optional SE package comprised: a C-type cylinder head fed by a pair of H8 SU carburettors, twin exhaust pipes and stiffer front torsion bars. The XK140 was a quick car by any standards - in SE trim, it could accelerate to 60mph in under 9 seconds and rapidly on to a top speed approaching 125mph.In summary:A fine-looking original righthand drive example A genuine SE model complete with C-type cylinder head Recently equipped with a new stainless steel exhaust system
Registration - VBF 446SChassis No. - 7E46/18102868M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - TBCThis distinctive and highly original 1977 Reliant Scimitar GTE SE6 is a real homage to the 1970s. It combines a brown and cream two-tone exterior with a bold blue velour interior. It even features an original Philips stereo cassette player. The odometer reads around 12,800 miles but, as it is a five-digit odometer, it is understood the actual mileage is around 112,800. It has a manual gearbox with the optional overdrive. The condition is described as being ‘good’ throughout, and this UK-registered classic comes with the V5 present. ‘VBF 446S’ has four matching Toyo tyres and period accessories including grille badges and a GEM motoring assist sticker on the back window. The innovative Reliant Scimitar GTE was a novel sports estate version of the 1964 Reliant Scimitar GT coupe. Launched at the 1968 British Motor Show, the attractive design combined a practical load area with a four-seat interior – individual rear seats gave a premium experience for those in the back. Powered by a 3.0-litre Ford V6 engine, the car was an instant sales success, with production continuing until 1986. Princess Anne was a famous convert, and is believed to have owned nine different Reliant Scimitar GTEs. In summary:Highly original 1977 Reliant ScimitarDescribed as being in ‘good’ condition throughout
Registration - PGH 2Chassis No. - S0G42M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 79,998This graceful 1954 Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn, we are told, 'unique': a one-off in green over silver, with a maroon leather interior, that was crafted by famed Rolls-Royce coachbuilder James Young. ‘PGH 2’ wears chassis number SOG42 and engine number S-21-G, and was first registered to a Mr. Hyman Gerstler of London. Over the years, a fascinating set of period documentation, history and photographs has been gathered with the car, which really helps build its provenance. The vendor acquired the car in 2001 and has reportedly spent considerable time and money on the upkeep of this stunning vehicle, which has an odometer reading 29,750 miles. This included new carpets throughout and a full retrim in 2009, costing £8,800. The cherished registration will come with the motorcar. This Silver Dawn has an extensive service history, with an engine and electrics in good condition that bear this out. It “simply glides along as it would have done in 1954,” says the vendor. They describe the bodywork, paintwork and interior as being in good condition too, reporting just minor blistering to the rear offside wing. Backing all this up is a detailed condition report by Classic Assessments, carried out in April 2024. It concludes ‘PGH 2’ is in “sound and presentable order” with a “very nice and not ‘over’ restored” interior. The Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn was the firm’s first car to combine factory-built bodywork with a factory chassis. It was produced at the Crewe works between 1949 and 1955, following Rolls-Royce motor cars’ move there from Derby in 1946. Reflecting the post-war export drive, the first cars were all left-hand drive, and it took a full four years for the Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn to be available in the UK market. It shared much with the Bentley Mark VI and later Bentley R Type, and the straight six engine was upgraded from 4.2-litres to 4.6-litres in 1951. With a price of £4704 back in 1954, it was more than ten times the price of the average family saloon at the time. In summary:· 'Unique' coachwork by James Young· Retains it's original registration number (non-transferable), fascinating set of period documentation, history and photographs· A 2024 Classic Assessments report is included
Registration - VHL 298JChassis No. - GHN5210141GM.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 22,025Beautifully presented in striking Tartan red, this example of the MGB Roadster holds a strong argument as the archetypal British roadster. Fitted with a checklist of desirable features for a classic drop-top sports car, ‘VHL 298J’ comes fitted with MG’s 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine, matched to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. That powertrain sits within sleek bodywork, capped at either end with chrome bumpers, and chrome trim running the length of the roadster each side, and even elements such as MG’s RO-style wheels, a black folding canvas roof, and chrome luggage rack mounted to the boot lid are included in the ensemble. The black interior features leather seats and dark wood veneer on the dashboard, as well as period elements such as the radio, steering wheel, dials, and switch-gear. Records show that ‘VHL 298J’ has just six previous owners in its almost 54 years on the road, with the current keeper having owned the car for more than six of them. The odometer shows an indicated 22,025 miles, an incredibly low figure for its age, if genuine, though there is no information available as to whether there has been an engine change, or if the car has gone 'round the clock'. The seller describes ‘VHL 298J’ as being in 'fine condition throughout', with the engine, transmission, electrics, paint, bodywork, and interior all rated as ‘good’. ‘VHL 298J’ offers a cherished example of an ideal roadster for the summer. In summary:· Well maintained and cared-for example of MG’s classic drop-top MGB· Beautifully specified MGB Roadster with plenty of period features· A perfect car for summer motoring Introduced in May 1962, the monocoque MGB was a welcome progression from the body-on-frame T-Series and MGA models that preceded it. The more modern construction resulted in weight savings, reduced manufacturing costs and notably tauter handling. At launch, the model was powered by a three-bearing version of the 1,798cc B Series engine, producing 95bhp at 5,400 rpm. However, this unit was quickly replaced by a five-bearing one. The MKII model of 1967 brought an updated manual gearbox with revised ratios and synchromesh on all gears, as well as the option of a Borg Warner automatic unit. Other changes included a revised rear axle and a switch from dynamos to alternators.

1932 Austin 7 ArrowRegistration No. RH 6022Chassis No. 141745Engine No. M80629From the stable of Herbert Austin and reputedly designed in the billiard room in his home at Lickey Grange the Baby Austin originally had a capacity of 696cc giving an RAC rating of 7.2HP. Three prototypes were manufactured at the factory and the car was announced to the public in July 1922. Nearly 2,300 cars were produced during the first year of manufacture and within a few years the Austin 7 dominated the small car market. By the time the car was phased out in 1939 some 290,000 cars and vans had been sold. So successful was the Baby Austin that many firms built the car under Licence. Notable names included American Austin, Dixi (later to become BMW) and Rosengart in France. The Model was also the basis for the Austin 7 Swallow which set William Lyons on the road to success and laid the foundations for what was to become Jaguar Cars. The 7 was offered with many different bodies and this is The Arrow version. First registered in July 1932, the original registration number was successfully reissued in 2005. Coming from the same vendor as lot 224, the Arrow has been subject to the same meticulous restoration. The car was purchased without a body and the vendor built this copy of the original. The car is powered by the iconic 750cc engine and is fitted with a four-speed gearbox. Nicely finished in light blue, everything has been done but for the hood covering, the hood frame is present and fitted. The Vendor stored the car as he had other projects so it would now benefit from gentle recommissioning and for the hood covering to be made. It would appear that this is a rare example of the Arrow. The car is offered with a current V5c and will be MOT and tax exempt. Spares for the Austin 7 are readily available and supported by a very active Club that organises many events.Estimate: £7,000 – 9,000
1954 MG TFRegistration No. KNV 431Chassis No. TF5090Engine No. 35111Unlike many of this model, KNV 431 is an original UK car and was first registered on the 24th May 1954 to a Mr. Michael Cooke of Wellingborough and supplied by York, Ward and Rowlett. After he traded it in a couple of years later it was owned by a Max Green and then a Miss Swann who acquired the car in 1958. According to notes in the file she commissioned a re-bore of the engine in 1981 and had new wings fitted and a respray in 1993. It would appear Miss Swann was a fastidious owner and the car was given whatever it needed. The car changed hands again in 1999 and that keeper carried on keeping the car in excellent condition. The vendor acquired the car in 2013, and has carefully maintained the car to a very good standard.KNV 431 is nicely presented in green with a beige leather interior. The 1250 cc engine appears in good condition and is coupled to a 4 speed gearbox and the car has full weather equipment. There is a very detailed history file which includes photographs of the car with the second owner, a raft of old MOT certificates, some old tax discs, various bills for work done and detailed history from previous owners.Now ready for a new keeper the car is ready to enjoy. There is a very active MG Club who organise various events and spares back up.Estimate: £12,000 – 14,000
