Registration : 755 YUS Chassis Number : 104537 Engine Number : 101387 Odometer reading : 43,559 km Estimate : £5,500 - £7,000 In 1954, Velam acquired a licence from Iso to manufacture a car based on the Isetta. Since Iso had sold the body making equipment to BMW, Velam developed their own body but used the original Iso engine. The Velam body was rounder and more egg-like than Iso's Isetta and was known by the French as the 'yoghurt pot'. Instead of a chassis like the Italian and German versions, there was a sub-frame bolted to the body at the rear which held the rear tyres, engine and transmission. The front suspension was bolted to the front of the body. The front door was opened by a push button instead of a handle and the speedometer was mounted in the centre of the steering wheel. Velam started production of the car in 1955 at the Old Talbot Factory at Suresnes, France and the car was introduced at the 1955 Paris Car Show. This Isetta Velam is an unfinished project although the body appears to be in sound condition and everything seems to be present in order to finish the car off. The engine is in place and the parts not currently fitted will be supplied with the car. Isetta Velams' are very rare with only 7,115 manufactured from June 1955 through to January 1958. It is not known how many have survived and this is the first one we have ever seen. A great opportunity to acquire a micro-car that will create even more interest than usual. 

Registration : R111 LPG Chassis Number : VF8DE0T0226523906 Engine Number : F133644 Estimate : No Reserve Renault wowed the crowds and the motoring press with their 2+2 Coupe GT MPV concept when they revealed their Matra inspired styling exercise at the Paris Motor Show in 1998. The concept by Patrick Le Quement was boldly taken into production largely unchanged. Featuring design ahead of its time the Avantime (French word "Avant" meaning "ahead" with English word "time") was packed full of luxuries, safety features and advanced engineering. Highlights included unique double-hinged 'kinematic' pillarless doors allowing easy access to the front and rear seats (even when tightly parked), the worlds largest opening glass sunroof at the time (a full 1m/sq of opening roof) featuring strengthened heat-reflecting glass, theatre seating (rear positioned higher than the front), galvanised steel chassis with aluminium upper structure, cavernous 530 litre boot, xenon headlights, a 'grand air' button which simultaneously opened all pillarless windows and sunroof, and finally a choice of powerful engines (3.0 V6 or 2.0 turbo) giving a grand tourer driving style and claimed lowest 0-62mph of 8.6 seconds. Delays in the launch prompted sudden competition from within when Renault themselves elected to put their concept Vel Satis model into production. Just ten months after Avantime production started in 2001, Matra announced that they would cease all vehicle manufacturing, with much of the facilities going on to be sold to Pininfarina in 2003. Renault elected not to continue the Avantime themselves. Across 18 months only 4,557 vehicles were built, half of those sold in France. BBC's Top Gear positioned the Renault Avantime at 'Sub Zero' on the 'Cool Wall' stating it was cooler even than the Aston Martin Vanquish and "the coolest car money can buy". Despite this just 450 cars sold in the UK, of which nearly half were optioned as 3.0 Privilege models. Our car is a 2002 3.0 Privilege Automatic in 'Steppe' Silver/Grey with silver aluminium roof rails and full black leather upholstery. Optioned with SatNav, this is a striking top of the range example of Renaults futuristic MPV Coupe. The car is production number 210 in the sequence of cars built for the UK market and comes with a letter from Renault UK, a certificate and a gift box containing an Avantime concept print and Renault concept cars book. Owned by the present registered keeper for the past six years the car is reported as delivering good power, a pleasing exhaust note and a bright and rewarding driving experience. The aluminium roof rails are prone on the Avantime to oxidisation blisters but the rails on this car remain in excellent condition. The remote control handset that operates the concert music system is present and correct and the car is also fitted with a good quality LPG alternative fuel system with discreet twin tanks. It is intended that the car will be presented at the sale with a fresh 12 months MoT test certificate. The Avantime combines bold styling with exceptional comfort and a host of highly attractive features that would appeal to most car enthusiasts. When you overlay the GT flare and performance with such limited production numbers, we believe that the Avantime possesses all of the hallmarks of a highly collectable classic.  

Registration : OUF670W Chassis Number : 10702222010184 Engine Number : 11098622011859 Odometer reading : 93,410  Estimate : No Reserve The Mercedes-Benz SL variant was a two-seat convertible/roadster with standard soft top and hardtop as well as optional folding seats for the rear bench. The SLC was a two-door hardtop coupé with normal rear seats and is commonly referred to as an 'SL coupé' but in reality it was an S-Class coupé, replacing the former saloon-based 280/300 SE coupé in the Mercedes-Benz line-up and was every bit the luxurious touring car it was designed to be. Originally registered on 18th June 1981, this presents in chestnut brown with tan/brown interior. Benefitting from fuel injection, this 280SLC drives very well and has clearly been well looked after throughout its 34 years on the road. The engine started immediately when requested and ran smoothly with no adverse noises; the gearbox was smooth and quiet in operation. Supplied with a V5 registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 21st April 2016, this Mercedes-Benz is for sale without reserve. 

Registration : UPL361S Chassis Number : XK251-480567A Engine Number : 130631 Odometer reading : 27,432 miles Estimate : No Reserve The Mini was made by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original is considered a British icon of the 1960s and its space-saving front-wheel drive layout allowed 80% of the area of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage, influencing a generation of car makers. In 1999, the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century, behind the Ford Model T, this distinctive two-door car was designed by Sir Alec Issigonis and was manufactured at the Longbridge and Cowley plants. This 1978 Mini has had four previous keepers from new; the first being a Mr. Sebba who lived at Chessington Zoo, the third and fourth were father and son- the latter taking ownership in the mid 1990s and having the car repainted in the original colour just before putting it into storage in 2004. Believed to have only covered 27,500 miles from new, the current vendor purchased this Mini in 2014 and re-commissioned it, carrying out a service, replacing the brakes and fitting a new water pump, radiator, starter motor, hoses, thermostat and a number of electrical items. This very original Mini 850, finished in Tahiti Blue with beige interior, is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in December 2015 and a file containing all the original handbooks, the 'Passport of Service', the original bill of sale with the salesman's business card and a number of old MoT test certificates and invoices which indicate the mileage to be correct.  

Registration : G276 VHX Chassis Number : SAXXL2S1N20450774 Engine Number : 99HE20119992 Odometer reading : 38,694 miles Estimate : No Reserve The Mini was made by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original is considered a British icon of the 1960s and its space-saving front-wheel drive layout, which allowed 80% of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage, influenced a generation of car makers. In 1999, the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century, behind the Ford Model T. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the British market received numerous 'special editions' of the Mini which shifted the car from a mass-market vehicle into a fashion icon. This Mini Mayfair was first registered on 9th February 1990 and has covered a mere 38,700 miles since. Finished in red and complemented by grey velour trim, this is an excellent example of a much loved and little used car. The condition of this Mini appears to be largely original and the vendor describes the car as being both "fun and interesting" to drive. Originally supplied, stamped and serviced by dealer Coles of Westminster, the car has, more recently, ventured to a local garage that also carries out the little cars MoT. Supplied with a V5 registration document together with an MoT test certificate valid until 22nd March 2016 and alongside a wealth of further MoT test certificates of which any recent examples are accompanied by service work to remedy any advisories, this highly accessible modern classic is something we have all grown up with and is sure to rise in value, especially in such original condition. 

Registration : MBZ 2920 Chassis Number : WDB1240622C287392 Engine Number : 11196022103737 Odometer reading : 96,000 miles Estimate : £5,000 - £6,000 Mercedes-Benz introduced the 'E-Class' to the market in 1985, with the cabriolet version available from 1991. Much of the 124's engineering, and many of its features, were advanced automotive technology incorporating innovations that have been adopted throughout the industry. It had one of the lowest drag coefficients of any vehicle at the time, due to its aerodynamic body, which included plastic moulding for the undercarriage to streamline airflow beneath the car- reducing fuel consumption and wind noise. It had a single windscreen wiper that had an eccentric mechanism at its base, extending the wiper's reach to the top corners of the windscreen. The coupés and convertibles had optional rear headrests that would fold down remotely to improve rearward visibility when required. This beautiful E220 Automatic is presented in Brilliant Silver with black leather interior, and was supplied by Bradshaw Webb of Chelsea, first registered in May 1996. A high specification example, this car includes heated front seats with 13 stamps in the service book and further invoices enclosed within the history file. The vehicle has certainly been very well looked after by its previous owners, having been last serviced at 94,593 miles and offered with an MoT test certificate valid until February 2016. This is a very useable modern classic that will bring many miles of enjoyable motoring to the new owner. 

Registration : BVU 815N Chassis Number : 10704422017473 Engine Number : 11798222023646 Odometer reading : 35,006 miles Estimate : No Reserve Introduced early in 1971, this impressive two-seater sports car replaced the 280SL. The body and chassis of the third generation SL was considerably heavier and longer than its predecessor but still showed a resemblance to them. The 3.5 litre, V8 engine underwent slight modifications to those being used on other models and the gear-shift lever was placed on the floor in the centre of the car. The standard transmission provided a top speed of 130mph and a very respectable 0-62mph in 8.8 seconds. As with the previous generation SLs, the vehicle came as an open roadster with removable hard-top and went on to become one of the longest running styles from Mercedes-Benz. A range of engine sizes were available, one of the more powerful options was the 4.5 litre unit. This very good, rust free 1974 Mercedes Benz 450SL Roadster was purchased by the previous owner in 1988 with only 6,000 miles on the odometer and has only covered 29,000 since, this is known to be correct by the collection of MoT test certificates which start in 1987. Fully serviced and maintained while in his ownership which he recorded in a book, making notes on the work carried out and the mileage. Finished in gold with a brown factory hard top, brown soft top and brown leather interior this 450SL is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in September 2015 and a history file containing registration documents, old MoT test certificates, maintenance record book and a number of invoices starting in 1988. These SL's offer all year round driving in comfort and style, this is an opportunity to own a nice example of these ever appreciating classics.  

Registration : B288 BFJ Chassis Number : WDB1070422A026252 Engine Number : 008526 Odometer reading : 63,000 miles Estimate : £8,000 - £11,000 The Mercedes-Benz SL (Sport Leicht) has been in production since 1954 with perhaps the most influential model being the W113 Pagoda of 1963. This second generation evolved from the 230SL to 250SL, finally becoming the 280SL. The W113 was replaced by the W107 in 1971 and, as the engines became larger, the bodywork and weight of the cars also increased - as often happens in mid-life! The SL improved through the years with technical innovation but still managed to keep its fundamental character and identity of an up-market, quality sports car. Its reputation went from strength to strength and it was rare to see an episode of Dallas or Dynasty in the 1980's without an SL making a star appearance. The genius soft-top mechanism which folds down out of sight under a panel ahead of the boot lid gave the car a beautifully sleek, uncluttered appearance. Offered with beautiful and almost unmarked red coachwork, complemented by a near flawless biscuit trim, this great 280SL Roadster has covered just over 60,000 miles from new and has benefitted from a wealth of recent work which we are told includes a gearbox re-build and re-adjustment of the timing giving us an example that is ready for the summer and hopefully hours of motoring enjoyment. Accompanied by a valid MoT test certificate, a history file including recent services and a wealth of old MoT test certificates verifying the mileage and original owner's manual, this plucky 280 is a pleasure to drive with its lighter nose and should, in our opinion, see significant investment potential for years to come with other similar models on offer at double the price. 

Registration : T25 GTV Chassis Number : ZAR91600006053681 Engine Number : 0002802 Odometer reading : 76,000 miles Estimate : No Reserve The Alfa Romeo Gran Turismo Veloce (GTV), designed by Enrico Fumia at Pininfarina, was planned to re-establish the sporty coupé tradition of Alfa Romeo for the 1990s. The GTV's name placed it as the successor to the long-discontinued Alfetta GTV coupé and with a typical Italian design many journalists commented that Alfa had improved the overall build quality considerably, coming very close to equalling its German rivals. The car was indeed favorably received by the written press with the Alfa Romeo GTV listed as #29 in Jeremy Clarkson's 'Top 100 Cars' from 2001. Offering the fabulous and much desired 3.0 litre, V6 Alfa Romeo engine, this black with black leather example has covered just 76,000 miles and importantly, has had a service history that includes a cam belt change. A full VOSA MoT test history is present as is the current MoT test certificate valid until May 2016. Upgrades include poly bushes, a stainless steel exhaust and a new battery for confidence. Clarkson didn't just rate the GTV because of its looks but also for one of the best engines ever developed and when offered at no reserve, this is your opportunity to own a modern classic. Interested parties may be pleased to note that the private number plate 'T25 GTV' is included as part of the sale. 

Registration : KNH 333V Chassis Number : GVGEJ1AC502989 Engine Number : 32503 Odometer reading : 82,620 miles Estimate : No Reserve Registered for the first time in August 1979, this delightful MG B GT in Carmine Red is a credit to its enthusiastic owners. Accompanied by updated MGOC-sourced deep red leather seats and with just two former keepers, the current vendor decided this was the perfect purchase for him and his wife to enjoy MG motoring. Having been looked after without regard to cost and with the bills including up-rated stainless steel exhaust and fuel tank and recent engine rebuild with an unleaded head, you can certainly appreciate why this was such an attractive proposition. This MG B GT Coupé, which has been garaged all its life, has since had further upgrades to accommodate the rigours of modern motoring including power steering, Revotec electric fan and a glass sunroof which, we believe, was fitted post-production and boasts no leaks. The current vendor has thoroughly enjoyed caring for this car over the past 12 years and, on the advice of his local garage, recently even took the precautionary step of replacing the rear sills to ensure there is no rust that can affect the car in the near future. Selling purely due to health reasons, this plucky MG's impressive history includes countless bills, past MoT test certificates, original tool kit, workshop manual and handbooks, Haynes manual, MG Owners' Club magazines and even a cover for future care. With an MoT test valid until May 2016 and such a comprehensive background, this car boasts the kind of care that many vehicles ten times its value would covet! 

Registration : 518UML Chassis Number : 70501 Engine Number : 3030318 Odometer reading : 6,534 miles Estimate : £10,000 - £14,000 The Messerschmitt KR200 is a three-wheeled bubble car designed by the aircraft engineer, Fritz Fend and produced in the factory of the German manufacturer from 1955 to 1964. Messerschmitt, temporarily not allowed to manufacture aircrafts, had turned its resources to producing other commodities and, in 1952, Fend approached Messerschmitt with the idea of manufacturing small motor vehicles. The first of Fend's vehicles to enter production was the KR175, the title 'Kabinenroller' means 'scooter with cabin'. The narrow body and corresponding low frontal area was achieved with tandem seating which also allowed the body to taper like an aircraft fuselage; the fuel consumption of the car was reported to be 87mpg with a top speed of 65mph - if you were brave enough. Production of the KR200 was heavily reduced in 1962 and ceased in 1964 following consistent drops in sales for a number of years. The KR200 ran on a 191cc Fichtel & Sachs air-cooled, single cylinder, two-stroke engine positioned in front of the rear wheel. The engine had two sets of contact points and, to reverse, the engine was stopped, then restarted, going backwards. Originally registered on 21st April 1959, this KR200 presents in excellent condition and, whilst we did not test drive the vehicle, we are advised she starts and runs well. Clearly, this Messerschmitt has been loved and cherished and, as such, is one of the best KR200s we have seen for some time. The cream paintwork is virtually unmarked, as is the black interior. These quirky vehicles have a strong following and one in such good condition as this will certainly create interest. Supplied with a V5 registration document. 

Registration : B623BNM Chassis Number : WBAEE320700760039 Engine Number : 42893605 Odometer reading : 105,000 miles Estimate : £15,000 - £18,000 BMW Motorsport introduced M635CSi in Europe at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1983. It is essentially an E24 powered by the engine that was used in the BMW M1. 'The Bavarian Express', that's what the fans called it- affectionately understating the M version which, with a 282bhp M88 unit, was a real Porsche killer. Most of the cars were equipped with special metric 415mm diameter wheels requiring Michelin TRX tyres. All M6 cars came standard with a 25% rear limited slip differential. US models included additional comforts that were usually optional on models sold in Europe such as Nappa leather, power seats and a dedicated rear A/C unit, not forgetting the center beverage chiller. Car and Driver tested a US M6 in July 1987 and achieved a 0-60 time of 6.1 seconds, better than the BMW published times of 6.4 and 6.8 seconds for the European and US versions respectively. 4,088 M 635CSi cars were built between 1983 and 1988, with 1,767 of those being US built models. This 1985 BMW M6 has been fully maintained and serviced throughout its life and received a restoration in 2005 with more recent work following, including repairs to the gearbox. Finished in the classic BMW colours of white with brown leather interior, this very good example is supplied with a registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in June 2016 and a large history file containing old MoT test certificates and an extensive array of invoices. Also accompanying this car is the original Owner's Manual Pack containing handbook and service book, both of which have been regularly stamped by BMW main agents and German car specialists. These BMW Motorsport road cars are becoming more sought after and collectable, and this is an opportunity to purchase one of the most desirable models. 

Registration : BJ09 JXB Chassis Number : SALLMAM239A304100 Engine Number : 0370068368DT Odometer reading : 122,985 miles Estimate : £14,000 - £18,000 The now ubiquitous Range Rover, launched in 1970, is in its fourth generation. The third-generation Range Rover (L322) was designed to accommodate BMW's M62, V8 engine; the manual transmission was dropped entirely leaving only the automatic transmission. The entertainment system -radio function, navigation, television and telecommunications, as well as the automotive computer bus system- was identical to the BMW 5-Series and could also be upgraded with the newest BMW technologies. This Range Rover Vogue TDV8, 3.6 litre engine presented in grey with black leather interior has had just two owners from new with the current owner since 2011. It is offered with a service history and described as being supplied 'with all the usual refinements' including a tow bar. This example has a new MoT test certificate and is an extremely competent, yet refined form of transport for the new potential owner. We are all familiar with Range Rovers and they are somewhat a favourite amongst the classic community for their towing ability, whilst still allowing the driver to travel in luxury and this, in a much sought after colour combination, is no exception. 

Registration : ECG 158W Chassis Number : 501497 Engine Number : 102975 Odometer reading : 55,465 miles Estimate : No Reserve Suzuki, in 1955, were the first company to launch a 'Kei' car, a micro vehicle designed to comply with Japanese tax and insurance regulations. In 1978, Suzuki transformed their domestic 'Cervo' model into the SC100, where in the UK market it was only available as a "lavishly equipped" GX model. This example, in Icelandic Metallic Blue, was sold new by Jem Marsh Ltd in 1980 to a Mrs McCord for £2,710.00 who used the car for 22 years until she retired from driving. The current owner for the past four years is a mechanical engineer for a very successful local Formula 1 Motoring Racing company, so the car has not been left wanting for mechanical upkeep. In 2011 the timing belt was replaced at 49,228 miles and more recently, it has been fully serviced and the compression on all four cylinders can be confirmed as being very good. The history files contains the original Japanese Suzuki Manufacture cards, new vehicle invoice, owners handbooks, service book and a large number of service receipts and MOT's across the years. It also benefits from ten months left to run on MoT test certificate and is best described as being in good original condition throughout. 

Registration : ERR 52V Chassis Number : XL2S1N633698A Engine Number : -27954 Odometer reading : 22,800  Estimate : No Reserve The original Mini is considered a British icon of the 1960s with its space-saving, front-wheel drive layout, allowing 80% of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage and was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century, behind the Ford Model T. The Mini Mk I had three major UK updates; the Mk. II, the Clubman and the Mk. III. Within these were a series of variations including an estate car, a pick-up and a van. Initially, Minis were marketed under the Austin and Morris names as the Austin Seven and Morris Mini Minor until Mini became a marque in its own right in 1969. This remarkably well kept Mini 1000 automatic has been cared for throughout its life, covering a mere 21,800 miles from new. The original owner, a Mrs. B. Elliot, purchased the car in June 1979 for £3,139.59 from Kennings Motor Distributors of Derby. The car had been undersealed and Cadillac protected by the factory before being finished in works colours, Russet Brown, which has helped to keep it in such condition to this day. The interior trim and headlining are in fabulous order and the paintwork is certainly a credit to the car, as is the chrome detailing. However, she isn't just about good looks; indeed on a drive to and from Brooklands on Mini day in March, this car didn't miss a beat. Accompanying this vehicle is an impressive history file, including many old MoT Certificates (some warranting mileage) as well as a wealth of servicing and repair bills and even the original bill of sale and receipts. Original handbook and owner's workshop manual can also be found along with a current MoT test certificate valid until January 2016. Having been garaged and looked after by its three lady owners, this mini is a true collector's example with a supporting history to cement its place as a true classic. With a keen estimate, why not raise your hand for a real slice of British motoring history… 

Registration : MYY 481X Chassis Number : 11102110030277 Engine Number : 12798410003685 Odometer reading : 79,209 km Estimate : £8,000 - £13,000 The Mercedes-Benz W111 series was produced from 1959 to 1968 and was the chassis code that determined its top-range vehicles. This included four door saloons with two door coupés and cabriolets being produced from 1961 to 1971. This lefthand drive example, presented in lovely blue paintwork with black leather interior, was originally purchased in Rome by Dario Lenzini, the son of famous Lazio Football club owner, Umburto Lenzini, from Mercedes-Benz Agent F. Bornigia in June 1962 and sold for a mere 6,091.000 Lira. Registered under Lenzini's name on the plate ROMA 542235, the current owner bought the car from him in the summer of 1980 when he transferred it to his work in London and had it registered under diplomatic status with the plate number 188D172. The current owner's diplomatic status ceased in 1987, at which point the vehicle gained its UK registration: MYY 481X. The vendor continued to use the car as his daily driver and maintained it regardless of cost until he made the decision in 2002 to completely restore the car to its former glory and thus sent the car back to Rome for which full details can be found in the history file. Offering power assisted steering, servo assisted brakes, a four speed manual transmission, original Autovox radio with electric aerial, tailored wooden centre console with storage boxes, extra light switches and power sockets, this car was clearly spec'd with no thoughts to budget when new. The current owner has painstakingly gathered all handbooks and parts guides for a prospective new owner, together with an impressive history file enclosing all MoT test certificates since its import in 1980, inclusive of a current MoT test certificate valid until December 2015, the original bill of sale and other import documentation. The provenance alone of this beautifully restored pillarless coupé is impressive and coupled with driving, as the vendor describes, with 'ease and elegance', this is the perfect car for summer. 

Registration : KLN 586D Chassis Number : B395005649HRO Engine Number : B395005649HRO Odometer reading : 19,494 miles Estimate : No Reserve The Sunbeam Alpine is a sporty two-seat open car launched in 1953 as the first vehicle from Sunbeam-Talbot to bear the Sunbeam name alone since the 1935 takeover of Sunbeam and Talbot by the Rootes Group. Ken Howes and Jeff Crompton were tasked with doing a complete redesign of the Alpine in 1956 with the goal of producing a dedicated sports car aimed principally at the US market. Ken Howes contributed some 80% of the overall design work and, throughout its production cycle, the Alpine was manufactured in four subsequent revisions through to 1968. The Series V Alpine was produced from 1965 through to 1968, the final version having a new five-bearing 1725cc engine with twin Zenith-Stromberg semi-downdraught carburettors producing 93bhp. The previous owner of this Alpine restoration project bought the car from Hounslow, West London some 10 years ago and during his ownership spent considerable time and money on its preparation. This included a full bare-metal re-spray to its current condition as well as many other repairs and parts to the tune, reportedly, of over £8,000. The current owner has also contributed extensively to its restoration including new door cards, front and rear seats (all new) in excellent condition. He was also unhappy with the standard Sunbeam replacement floor-pans and so had new, heavy duty, items made, under-sealing as he went providing a more long-term future for the car. He also sourced many new items from a Sunbeam supplier in the Midlands and all parts for this car are either new (as in the hood) or original and in good order. The car drove into the garage prior to striping and so the engine and drive-train are thought to be 'up and running' although some light re-commissioning may be required. The majority of the hard work has been taken care of and so, given a Philips screwdriver and some patience, many of the remaining parts can simply be re-affixed. An extremely accessible light restoration project that could easily be ready for this summer... 

Registration : NJN 348F Chassis Number : 7J2058D/N Engine Number : YJ22168 Odometer reading : 50,150 miles Estimate : £8,000 - £10,000 The Jaguar Mk. II was a medium size saloon built from 1959 to 1969 as a successor to the 2.4 and 3.4 litre models which were manufactured between 1957 and 1959. It was a handsome, powerful and good handling saloon which was offered with a choice of three six-cylinder twin cam engines; 2.4 litre, 3.4 litre or 3.8 litre. After the appreciation of the MK.I, Jaguar's successor was well received making a good car even better. Similar in appearance, but with a bigger glass area, it boasted a wider track to improve road holding together with minor front suspension changes to reduce body roll and all-round disc rather than drum brakes. Raced by all the top drivers of the day including Graham Hill, Roy Salvadori and Michael Parkes, the Mk. II has scored victories throughout saloon car races in the sixties and was also raced across Europe in the Tour De France and Monte Carlo rally. Originally registered on 16th February 1968, this Jaguar, 2.4 litre presents in largely original condition. The green coachwork shows little sign of corrosion and the grey leather trim has a lovely patina. Mechanically everything appears in order with the engine starting 'on the button' and we are advised she drives with no known faults. With cars as original as this, clearly there are a few issues that any new owner may wish to address; however, we would describe NJN 348F as a perfectly useable example. Supplied with a collection of MoT test certificates dating back to March 1984 when the mileage was 46,826, this Jaguar has travelled 3,324 miles in 31 years. The current MoT test certificate is valid until 4th March 2016 and is accompanied by a V5 Registration document. Jaguar Mk. II's have a strong following and a manual transmission example with overdrive such as this will appeal to enthusiasts and collectors alike. 

Registration : LMP 53P Chassis Number : LD416130 Engine Number : LF041616HE Odometer reading : 38,856 miles Estimate : £9,500 - £12,500 This fantastic Manual example has been meticulously cared for by its three previous custodians since new and is offered in Royal Blue with matching hood and hard top complemented by biscuit leather trim. We would certainly say that this is amongst the best we have seen as an original car. Under the first owner, Mr. Barley of Woodford Green, the car was serviced annually by Lamb's of Woodford Green up to 1982 and 27,347 miles; all present and stamped in the Triumph service passport. It was then sold to Mr. Naidu who, it is believed, sent the car to his holiday home in Jersey which he visited very infrequently and only used the Stag to move around the island. Being a rather small island and used so sparingly, the little Triumph spent almost all of its time wrapped up in a garage thus accumulating only another 10,000 miles in the 25 years of ownership. The current owner purchased the car in 2007 and was astonished at the quality of a car some 30 years old and has since made every effort to continue with the upkeep again as documented in the history file. Upgrades include a four branch Holly carburetor conversion, a larger fan, new exhaust and rear seatbelts and the vendor informs us that the running of the engine is fabulous. The paint and chrome work is in very good order and accompanying the sale is a history file including previous MoT's as well as a current one valid until May 2016, the original service booklet, Handbook and instruction manual alongside service bills and V5 registration document. If you are interested in reviving your youth, we would certainly urge you to give the Triumph Stag more than a passing glance. 

Registration : B668 UKX Chassis Number : C6778 Engine Number : 24F21C4682 Odometer reading : 984 miles Estimate : £18,000 - £22,000 With its 1950 Plus 4, Morgan moved upmarket in size, weight, power and price. The British manufacturer realised it might lose some potential customers but was happy to live with the situation for a while. By mid-decade though, the Plus 4 had become more potent and Morgan felt it should, again, field a lower-power car. This explains the revival of the Morgan 4/4 though it was completely different from the car that carried that title during 1935-50. In fact, the new 4/4 was closely related to the Plus 4. The main difference was engines, purchased from Ford instead of Triumph. The re-born 4/4 has been around for more than 30 years now and shows no signs of dying away. Like other Morgans, it's always had the same chassis design, body construction and styling, a kind of technological time warp that customers keep coming back for nevertheless. Morgan builds old-fashioned cars the old-fashioned way and vehicles of that nature just won't be hurried. This 1600cc Morgan, presented in a great combination of Old English Cream with black leather was originally a demonstrator for Morgan before being registered to Mrs. Eddleston in December of 1985, bought as a gift from her husband. Unfortunately, it was a gift that the new owner was not so keen on and only drove the car a handful of times before deciding it was not for her. She consequently purchased something else and parked up the poor Moggy in the garage! Here it appears to have spent almost all of its life, though we can safely assume that Mr. Eddleston at least kept the odometer ticking over on the odd Sunday blast although, remarkably, the car has covered just 984 miles. Sold with the original bill of sale and order number, the car has actually only ever required one MoT test in 1989, presumably due to lack of use, however, the vendor is going to have a current MoT test certificate issued for the new owner. Also present is the original handbook, full wet weather running gear with tonneau cover, all, unsurprisingly, as new and V5 Registration document. A unique opportunity, certainly, to purchase a car that has had virtually no use since new, and with no need for re-commissioning, you can drive this away into the sunset but will you be the one to surpass the magical 1,000 mile mark? 

Registration : RBD52Y Chassis Number : SAJJNAEW3BC111347 Engine Number : 8S024489HB Odometer reading : 66,000 miles Estimate : £6,000 - £9,000 This Jaguar XJS in HE specification boasting the fabulous V12 engine and automatic gearbox, has only covered 66,000 miles from new which is verified by the service book and old MoT test certificates. This very good example has been fully maintained throughout, finished in metallic Coronet Gold with twin coach lines and county tan leather interior. The starfish alloy wheels have recently been refurbished and it has received a minor service, new coolant header tank and hoses; we are informed by the vendor that it drives very well with good oil pressure and always starts first time. It is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in May 2016 and a file containing the service book, old MoT test certificates and old invoices. A fine touring sportscar from the 1980's. 

Registration : XHJ896 Chassis Number : DCALL3BC103325 Engine Number : 72745 Odometer reading : 48,500 miles Estimate : £10,000 - £14,000 Probably the earliest known example of a convertible XJ was a series I specially prepared for Queen Elizabeth II's visit to Mauritius in 1972, apparently it was converted out in Mauritius. Cabriolet International, based in Blackpool, followed the same four door theme but to a far superior design. Starting with a Jaguar XJ6 Series II or Series III saloon, they cut the steel from the roof, leaving around three inches of the original roof in place around the door frames and windscreen. They then fitted a cross beam between the two 'B' pillars, which created a very strong structure for a four door car and also meant that when the roof was closed it was hardly distinguishable from a standard saloon from a distance. With the hood open the occupants could experience open top comfort but within the virtual safety of the normal saloon. Cabriolet International's hood mechanism had quite an advantage over some of the other coachbuilders converting Jaguar XJ6's in that when the hood is open it laid flat on the rear parcel shelf thereby not obscuring the rear view as much as some conversions. This 1978 Daimler Sovereign long wheelbase was converted by Cabriolet International Ltd and, it is believed in the early 1980s, then restored in 2013. Fitted with a replacement engine, the more economical 4.2 litre, straight six unit in 2014, this Daimler Sovereign is finished in pale blue with dark blue convertible top and magnolia leather interior. It comes supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in July 2015 and a file containing a number of recent invoices and articles relating to Cabriolet International convertibles. This unusual Daimler convertible is an ideal car giving the benefit of open air motoring with the luxury of the Daimler Sovereign saloon. 

Registration : M332 HBJ Chassis Number : SCBZB03C856X523770 Odometer reading : 49,643 miles Estimate : £18,000 - £24,000 From its motor car production in 1921, the Bentley name has remained synonymous with prestige, performance and luxury. The 'Continental' designation recalls the Bentley Continental of the post-war period, with the 'R' recalling the R-Type Bentleys from the 1950's as well as the Turbo R of the 1980's. This series boasts the most powerful engine after the Continental T and has a power output of 420bhp and a maximum torque of 650 ft-lb. The car could be pushed to a staggering top speed of some 170mph, impressive when you consider the luxury if offers. Presented in completely original condition with no modifications, this fine example of a lefthand drive Continental R was originally delivered to Florida in the US before moving across to California. It was then acquired by an Italian gentleman and re-imported back to the UK in 2008. It has covered limited mileage in the intervening years as noted in the supplied MoT test certificates although it will have a full 12 month MoT test certificate and a fresh service (from Bentley Verona) on auction day. Supplied with handbooks and invoices for servicing, this fresh looking example is described by its owner as being in very good condition throughout. 

Registration : SPM 777X Chassis Number : 10704622001129 Engine Number : 11796222000200 Odometer reading : 103,073 miles Estimate : £7,000 - £9,000 The Mercedes-Benz SL class has been manufactured since 1954. The designation SL derives from the German 'Sport Leicht' or 'Sport Light' and was first applied to the 300SL 'Gullwing,' named after the upward-opening doors. The term SL-Class refers to the marketing variations of the vehicle, including the numerous engine configurations spanning five design generations. The Mercedes-Benz R107 and C107 cars were produced from 1971 through to 1989, being the second longest single series ever produced by Mercedes-Benz after the G-Class. The R107 took the chassis components of the mid-size W114 model and mated them to the larger engines from the S-Class (W116). The SL variant was a two seat convertible/roadster with standard soft top, hardtop and optional foldable seats for the rear bench. We are pleased to offer this 500SL, manufactured in 1982, which has been with its current owner for approximately the past 15 years. During this time, we are informed, the car has only covered 8,000 miles and has spent six of those 15 years in Cyprus. This 500SL is fitted with a few factory options which include a tan leather interior, rear seat option and a factory hard top. Although the coachwork displays minor paint variations, no doubt due to its time under the sun in Cyprus, it appears in very good order throughout and especially on its undersides; an important factor with these models. Mechanically, it is also in good order as demonstrated on a recent road test; its automatic gearbox changing ratios smoothly and quickly and the car pulling to a stop without drama. Benefitting from a recent service and MoT test certificate, this Mercedes-Benz, being the more desirable 500SL, is a very reasonably priced icon from the 1980s. 

Registration : LWB 102D Chassis Number : 32581 Engine Number : 293248 Odometer reading : 12,402 miles Estimate : £8,000 - £10,000 In 1956, a prototype of a new passenger car from Volvo was released. The car became known as the Amazon in Sweden but badged the 121 and 122S on the export market. In September 1961, yet another version based on the 121/122S was presented, a two door saloon. This version was an eagerly awaited model, particularly by the Swedish market, as Sweden was a typical market for two door cars at that time. The station wagon (estate) version was introduced at the 1962 Stockholm Auto Show and Volvo manufactured 73,000 examples between 1962 and 1969. The Amazon estate featured a two-piece tailgate with the lower section folding down to provide a load surface and the upper section that hinged overhead. The vehicle's rear license plate, attached to the lower tailgate, could 'fold up' such that when the tailgate was lowered and the vehicle in use, the license plate was still visible. The Amazon platform was used as the basis for the P1800 and 1800ES. This award winning Amazon Estate was originally registered on 6th April 1966 and the previous owner had owned the car for 17 years. The coachwork is in excellent order as is the interior trim which appears to be original. Mechanically, these Volvos are very robust; this example had a re-conditioned engine fitted some eight years ago. The under bonnet area and chassis are in splendid order and the overall condition of LWB 102D is excellent. Supplied with a V5 registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until March 2016, this Volvo Amazon Estate drives as good as she looks. 

Registration : AGX 90T Chassis Number : 2R-4753BW Engine Number : YP-39790 Odometer reading : 25,401 miles Estimate : £4,500 - £6,000 The Jaguar XJ6 was the long awaited replacement for both the Mk. X, S-Type and Mk. II saloons of the 1960's. The XJ had an all-new body that utilised the legendary XK engine initially in either 2.8 or 4.2 litre form. Independent rear suspension was essentially a modified design from the previous saloons. The XJ debuted in 1968 and was produced in three different Series through until 1992. It was the last Jaguar to have direct development input from the company's founder, Sir William Lyons. At the launch, he referred to the new XJ saloon as "the finest Jaguar ever". It was indeed very well received and set new standards for ride quality and comfort in its class. A new flagship model was announced in July 1972 featuring simplified grille treatment and housing the mighty 5.3, V12 engine used in the E-Type. The car as presented at that time was the world's only mass-produced 12-cylinder four-door car, and was able to boast a top speed "around 140 mph". This example is a late Series II XJ12 in red with period black vinyl roof and tan leather upholstery. The history file contains photographs from approximately 12 years ago of the car in a Jaguar showroom surrounded by then new generation Jaguar XJ models. The original Owners wallet is present and includes the original Leyland Cars Service Passport which documents annual servicing up until July 1982 at which time the car was recorded as having done just 8,005 miles. There are 12 MoT test certificates which chart the cars progress from 11,389 miles in 1987 through to 22,198 miles in November 1999 and then in June 2007 an MoT testing station recorded the mileage at 25,157 miles. The car has passed a further four MoT tests since but has continued to be very little used. The most recent was in March of this year with less than 50 miles travelled since. Consequently today, this fine example has a remarkably low mileage of just 25,401 well documented miles. There were no advisories issued on the certificate from the last MoT test so the car is presented in good order throughout and ready to be shown and enjoyed. This comes from a small private collection of British cars and with two sets of keys. it is worth considering the very high attrition rates of the mid 1970's Jaguar saloons, combined with values of sister E-Types climbing so steeply recently, indicating that such a scarce and super-low mileage V12 XJ could make a very shrewd investment for the discerning collector. 

Registration : T15CJG Chassis Number : ZAR91660006060900 Engine Number : 1477408 Odometer reading : 57,957 miles Estimate : No Reserve The Alfa Romeo Gran Turismo Veloce (GTV) designed by Enrico Fumia at Pininfarina was planned to re-establish the sporty coupé tradition of Alfa Romeo for the 1990s. After the Fiat CEO accepted the design, Alfa Romeo Centro Stile was responsible for the completion of the detail work and also for the design of the interiors as Pininfarina's proposal was not accepted. A typical Italian design, low-slung, wedge-shaped with a low nose and high kicked up tail or 'Kamm tail' gave improved aerodynamics and, at its launch, many journalists commented that Alfa had improved the overall build quality considerably and that it came very close to equaling its German rivals. The GTV was indeed favourably received by the written press, winning awards such as Autocar Magazine's '1995 Car of the Year', Car Magazine's 'Best Designed Car' and in 1995 was awarded 'The World's most Beautiful Automobile' award. Presented in silver with black leather interior, this one owner from new Alfa Romeo 916 GTV, with just 57,957 miles, has an unsurprisingly good history; a comprehensive service file including a full, handwritten log of the car's history and every MoT from new can be found with the car and in this fabulous condition, we would safely say this has future classic potential. 

Registration : 238BKO Odometer reading : 42,708 miles Estimate : No Reserve The Daimler DB18 started out in 1939 as a six-cylinder chassis on which Daimler, and various other British coach builders, offered a range of bodies. The car used a 2,522cc, six-cylinder engine fed by a single SU carburettor. Throughout its life, 70bhp was claimed; although later, a change in the gearing to coincide with the introduction of the Consort in 1950 and marking an increase in maximum speed from 76mph to 82mph which, by the standards of the time, was brisker than it looked. The independent front suspension used coil springs while the back axle was suspended using a traditional semi-elliptical set-up. This Daimler DB18 has been standing for some time and will require a little re-commissioning. We are advised however that she starts and runs well and the pre-selector gearbox operates as it should. From a bodywork aspect, she appears pretty solid and the interior trim has a lovely patina. Offered without reserve, this DB18 is an opportunity to purchase an entry level classic car that perhaps is best described as a rolling restoration project. 

Registration : SPK625M Chassis Number : 2550810 Engine Number : 2550810 Odometer reading : 327 miles Estimate : £8,000 - £12,000 BMW's director of product planning, Helmut Werner Bönsch and Alex von Falkenhausen, the designer of the BMW M10 engine, had both been owners of a 1600-2 (1602) and subsequently had both installed a two litre engine in their respective cars. Following the realisation that they had both made the same modification, they prepared a joint proposal to BMW's board to manufacture a two litre version of the 1602. At the same time, American importer Max Hoffman was asking BMW for a sporting version of the 02 series that could be sold in the United States. The 1990cc engine was made available in 1968 in two states of tune: the base single-carburettor 2002, producing 100bhp as in the 2000 and 2000C and the dual-carburettor high compression 2002Ti, producing 120bhp as in the 2000Ti and 2000CS. This 1973 BMW 2002 was the subject to a complete rebuild five years ago which included restoring the bodywork, rebuilding the engine and gearbox and rebuilding the suspension and brakes. Over the last two years the vendor has carried on the improving the car and has fitted new Koni shock absorbers and springs, he also fitted a new stainless steel exhaust system and manifolds, new Weber carburettors, aluminium radiator, new water hoses, Kenlowe cooling fans and brake hoses. The owner has described the underneath of the car as spotless and to make sure it is in the best condition throughout the front and rear bumpers have been re-chromed. Finished in white with grey interior, this is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in April 2016, old registration documents and old MoT test certificates. These BMW's are very practical classics and it is rare to have the opportunity to purchase a car which is so well prepared. 

Registration : 908RMM Chassis Number : FAA1617164 Engine Number : 195024 Odometer reading : 54,000 miles Estimate : £5,000 - £7,000 The Morris Minor debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show on 20th September 1948. Designed under the leadership of Alec Issigonis, over 1.6 million examples were manufactured from 1948-1972. The Minor was manufactured in three series; Series I, Series II (1952) and finally the 1000 series, such as the car offered today. These 1000 series cars benefitted from an engine increase in capacity to 948cc and can be differentiated from earlier examples of the marque by their curved, one-piece windscreen which replaced the statement two-piece split-screen and an enlarged rear window. This particular example also benefits from a new dashboard layout, including such luxuries as a lidded glove-box on both driver and passenger sides. This excellent, four door, 1958 example has mostly been under one family ownership from new, only being passed within the family to the son in 1970 who later decided to dismantle the car. Acquired by the vendor approximately three years ago, he set about a ground-up rebuild and upgrade. After completely restoring the bodywork, he subsequently set about rebuilding the mechanics, including restoration and lowering of the suspension, new brakes all round and checking and rebuilding of the gearbox and rear axle. When he came to the engine, it was found to be unserviceable, so he purchased a new MG 1250cc Sprite engine and fitted it alongside a big valve cylinder head and twin SU carburettors. To complete the upgrade, the Minor has been fitted with an oil cooler, large coolant radiator, fans and Minilite wheels. This 'Fast Road' Morris Minor 1000 is finished in black with the original red leather interior - although currently red and black seat covers are being used - and is supplied with various documentation such as a V5C registration, the original 'buff' log book detailing the original owners and a record of the restoration including photographic evidence as well as an array of invoices for parts used. A classic Morris Minor which has been restored with modern roads in mind.  

Registration : HVK328C Chassis Number : 798294 Engine Number : 110D000 Odometer reading : 56,286 km Estimate : £8,000 - £12,000 The Nuova 500 was designed by Dante Giacosa, who was also responsible for its predecessor, the Cinquecento or Topolino (little mouse) as the public immediately christened it. The Nuova is a masterpiece of packaging; the rear-wheel drive, rear-engined layout leaving a remarkably uncluttered cabin with adequate room for four passengers, despite the diminutive length of just 9.74ft. At its introduction in 1957 the little Fiat was powered by a twin-cylinder engine of 479cc and just 13bhp, but by the time of the later 500 F the capacity had grown to 499.5cc and the output to 22bhp - sufficient for a maximum speed of around 60mph combined with a fuel consumption of over 50mpg. This very solid, original 1965 Fiat 500D has recently been imported from Genova, Italy where it has been repainted within the last ten years and more recently has had new seat covers and door cards fitted. It is now finished in white with a full length black vinyl sunroof, whilst the contempory interior is in red and white. It comes supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in April 2016 and a copy of the Italian registration document. The vendor states the car starts and runs well. Fiat 500s are quirky, fun and economical; it is difficult to drive one without a smile on your face.  

Registration : KPB835K Chassis Number : 1834352W Engine Number : 223 Estimate : £13,000 - £16,000 In December 1957, the first hand-built P1800 prototype was driven to the headquarters of Karmann. Volvo had hoped that Karmann would be able to take on the tooling and building of the P1800 and they were ready to build it which meant that the first cars could hit the market as early as December 1958. But in February, Karmann's most important customer, Volkswagen, forbade Karmann to take on the job as they feared that the P1800 would compete with the sales of their own cars and threatened to cancel all their contracts if they took it on. This setback almost caused the project to be abandoned and it looked doomed until a press release surfaced with a photo of the car, putting Volvo in a position where they had to acknowledge its existence. These events influenced the company to renew its efforts with the car and it was presented to the public for the first time at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1960. Volvo turned to Jensen Motors, whose production lines were under-utilised, and they agreed a contract for 10,000 cars. The first production P1800 left Jensen for an eager public after its much troubled inception. In 1972 came the last model, the 1800ES, a coupé station wagon with an all-glass tailgate, sometimes described as a shooting-brake. This superb Volvo 1800ES fitted with a manual gearbox and overdrive also has electric power steering. The first owner kept the car until 1989 and had it regularly serviced by main Volvo agents Messrs Kastners in Plymouth. The 1800ES had two further owners in the UK before being exported to Ireland in 1999 were it was put into a private collection. The vendor recently purchased the car from the Irishman's estate and returned the car to the UK , successfully obtaining the original registration number. Restored in the early 2000's, the car is finished in red, whilst the interior has the original black hide to the front seats, original vinyl to the rear and contrasting grey seatbelts. The cabin carpets must have been replaced at some point but they are a superb match to the (albeit faded) original carpets to the boot area, all complemented by a lovely roof-lining and dashboard. The tools are present and it has an un-molested engine bay with all stickers still in place. This lovely Volvo is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in February 2016, owner's manual, service manual and a file containing invoices and old MoT test certificates. This is an exceptional example of a rare and sought after Volvo.  

Registration : LAS718 Chassis Number : SBH10056 Engine Number : 10056 Estimate : £12,000 - £16,000 The Bentley T-Series was the Bentley badged version of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, available as a four or two door saloon with coachwork by James Young or Mulliner Park Ward. The Bentley differed from its Rolls-Royce equivalent by its more rounded front grille, while the badging on the wheel covers, boot lid and gauges naturally featured Bentley motifs rather than the Rolls-Royce logo. In October 1966, the 'T' saloon's pre-tax 'list price' of £5,375 undercut the Rolls-Royce by £50! The Bentley was technically an identical twin of the Rolls-Royce and seemed to have been purchased mostly by owners wishing for a more understated luxury saloon. The former sporting image of Bentley motor cars differing from Rolls-Royces had gone by the time the Silver Shadow/Bentley 'T' was introduced and this was no longer a primary reason to purchase a Bentley over the Rolls-Royce sibling. This charming Bentley was originally owned by the late 9th Duke of Roxburghe whose ancestral home was the magnificent Floors Castle. The green coachwork of this Bentley is in excellent order, the tan leather trim is unmarked and the deep rich walnut wood has recently been refurbished. Mechanically this T1 is in splendid condition, with the car driving in a manner commensurate with such a marque. The silent cruising, comfort, style and prestige of this outstanding Bentley T1 combine to make this a highly sought after and desirable car. With only 1,703 examples manufactured, a Bentley T1 in this splendid regal colour combination and in such delightful condition, will always be highly prized and sought after. 

Registration : TBA Chassis Number : WBSBR920X0PM94044 Engine Number : 61042987 Odometer reading : 16,900 miles Estimate : £16,000 - £19,000 The BMW E46 M3 was first introduced in October 2000 and appeared worldwide with the new 3.2 litre S54 M-tuned engine. At the time of the car's introduction, this Euro spec engine had the highest specific output naturally aspirated of any engine ever made by BMW (except in the McLaren F1), producing 338hp. It was only available in coupé and convertible bodies as the saloon version had been dropped. The E46 M3 was offered with a standard 6-speed Getrag gearbox with an electrohydraulically actuated clutch (no clutch pedal), but optionally came with an SMG drivelogic gearbox (also known as the SMG II). Shifts are made via the SMG gear knob or the steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. The engine had a redline of 8,000 rpm. As with most M engines, the S54 again had 6 independent throttle bodies and this time electronically operated throttles (drive-by-wire throttle with no cable). This 'fully loaded' BMW M3 Convertible has only covered 16,900 miles from new. Supplied by BMW Heathrow, it came with over £7,000 of options including rear side air bags, Navigation system, Bluetooth telephone, Harman Kardon Hi-Fi, M double spoke wheels, wind deflector and hard top to name but a few of the items. Finished in Titanium silver with black nappa leather interior, this excellent example cost over £50,000 when new and is supplied with a V5C registration document, a current MoT test certificate, the hand book pack and a file which contains a number of MoT certificates which verifies the mileage on the odometer. This is an opportunity to purchase an excellent, low mileage example of a sought after M series BMW.  

Registration : VSR 911 Chassis Number : WP0ZZZ91ZHS141271 Engine Number : 63H04417 Odometer reading : 117,000 miles Estimate : £15,000 - £19,000 The first Porsche 911 was introduced in 1963 as the replacement for the much loved Porsche 356. It has a distinctive design; rear-engined and with independent rear suspension, an evolution of the swing axle on the Porsche 356. The engine was also air-cooled until the introduction of the Type 996 in 1998. Since its introduction in 1963, it has undergone continual development, although the basic concept has remained little changed. In 1973, the Carrera name was re-introduced from the 356 Carrera which had itself been named after Porsche's class victories in the Carrera Panamericana races in Mexico in the 1950s. The RS was built so that Porsche could enter racing formulae which stipulated that a minimum number of production cars were made. The most notable advances in 1984 were the introduction of the 3.2 litre engine. Although it remained an air-cooled 'flat six', the '3.2' was 80% new and incorporated an effective cam chain tensioner and associated lubrication system that at last addressed a perennial 911 shortcoming. With 231bhp on tap, the new 'boxer' motor endowed the Carrera with a level of performance approaching that of the original 911 Turbo of 1974; the bald statistics being a 0-60mph time of 5.3 seconds and a top speed of 152mph. This much loved and looked after 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa, fitted with the 3.2 litre engine and G50 gearbox, is one of the last air-cooled models and has the galvanised bodywork. The vendor has owned this Porsche for the last thirteen years and has recently spent £3,500 bringing the car up to scratch including new clutch, brake discs and pads. Finished in Guards Red with cream interior, it is supplied with a V5 registration document, MoT test certificate (with no advisories) expiring April 2016, the Owner's Manual and the service book which shows all services have been carried out by either Porsche or Porsche specialists, the only gap in servicing was when car was not in use and had SORN applied between 2009 and 2014. There is also a file containing stacks of paperwork covering all work carried out over the years plus various MOT's and tax disks and the original electric tyre pump as supplied when new.  

Registration : B581 AOD Chassis Number : C6856 Engine Number : 24H30-C4747 Odometer reading : 59,500 miles Estimate : £15,000 - £18,000 The Morgan Plus 4 was Morgan Motor Company's first car with four wheels and was introduced in 1936 following the end of production of the famed three-wheeled motorcycle engine models. Its model designation '4/4' stood for four wheels and four cylinders. Declared new on the 13th June, this vehicle was supplied by Morgan specialist, Harry Arnold, and has had just two former owners to this day. The car had remained unused in a garage for many years following a poor repair to the water pump drive and on-going family commitments before undergoing restoration to be enjoyed once again in 2012. All works are supported by invoices and included removal of all panels in order to refinish the car to its original colour, as well as a full service of the engine including cambelts and water pump drive, overhaul of the radiator and heater matrix, new shock absorbers, chassis and brakes overhaul, new wire wheels and finishing with an interior overhaul to retain all the original trim and fittings. A new battery was supplied and MoT test carried out and passed before the car was returned to the owner. Sadly, shortly after, the owner became unwell and subsequently passed away. The Morgan was last purchased in the spring of 2014; however, due to health problems, the new owner now requires something less sporty. The car has been enjoyed immensely at weekends over the past year and courtesy of the current owner, also received a full re-trim of the leather seats. A well prepared example of Morgan's iconic 4/4; the car presents well and has been used sympathetically over the years. The ash frame is good and tight, with no movement and all systems function as intended. Ready for immediate use and accompanied by a valid MoT test certificate until May 2016; this handsome example comes complete with paperwork, all-weather equipment and the promise of enormous fun... 

Chassis Number : AR 1251906 Engine Number : AR 00512 95165 Odometer reading : 28,913 km Estimate : £22,000 - £27,000 The Alfa Romeo Gran Turismo Allegerita (GTA) was the competition version of the popular 105 series, Bertoné, Giulia coupé. First seen in 1965 in 1600 (1570cc) form, it was also later produced as a 1300 Junior version. We are pleased to offer today this 1970, step front (scalino) 1300 GT Junior that has been built to represent the spirit of the GTA Juniors of the period. Mechanically the car has been upgraded and fitted with a standard 2.0 litre engine giving this Evocazioné superior power and torque over the original 1300cc unit. In addition, rebuilt twin Dell'Orto carburettors, with angled ram pipes, supply the fuel. A standard five-speed gearbox with drive provided through a 1750 Berlina differential having ratios that compensate for the larger engine. The braking system has been overhauled and includes four new callipers. Eibach springs and Koni Sport, adjustable shock absorbers on all four corners provide the handling dynamics. The coachwork has also been modified to give the GTA silhouette with the addition of the wide body GTA wings and the paint is finished in the classic Alfa Romeo Rosso. Further details add to the spirit; namely the addition of the GTA replica grill and gold, Alfaholics supplied, 15x8 inch replica GTA alloy wheels with new Toyo Proxes TR 225/50/R15 tyres. The interior exudes the air of a period car; the GTA headlining, Momo dished steering wheel, the rare, original, factory leather flying buttress seats and, of course, the smell. A file includes many invoices from the UK's leading Alfa Romeo 105 series specialists, Alfaholics, Classic Alfa and the Highwood Motor Company. On a recent test, this Alfa Romeo Junior drove very well displaying excellent handling characteristics and power delivery. The history file includes a letter from the Alfa Romeo Owner's Club (AROC) 105 Registrar, Stuart Taylor, confirming that the chassis number relates to the car's manufacture on 15th May 1970 and sold in Civitella del Tronto on 30th May 1970; the car still sitting with its original Italian plates and documentation today. We are informed by the vendor that these will be retained as the car will be required to be de-registered in Italy (copies will be supplied to the new owner); unless, of course, the lucky new owner is an Italian resident. A NOVA certificate and recent MoT test certificate also accompanies the car and, complete with the AROC verification letter, means that the Junior may easily be registered. With prices of step fronted Bertoné coupés rising rapidly, we feel that this example offers the benefits of great value and great fun. 

Registration : 112 6KR Chassis Number : BB42JR07127 Estimate : £18,000 - £22,000 The Ford Escort was introduced in the United Kingdom at the end of 1967, making its show debut at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1968. The Escort was a commercial success in many parts of Western Europe but nowhere more than in the UK where it was the national best seller of the 1960's. In June 1974, less than six years after the car's UK introduction, Ford announced the completion of the two millionth Ford Escort; a milestone unmatched by any Ford model outside the USA. The Mk. I featured contemporary styling cues in tune with its time; a subtle Detroit-inspired 'Coke bottle' waistline and the 'dogbone' shaped front grill - arguably the car's most famous stylistic feature. This outstanding Ford Escort has been owned by the vendor for the last 15 years and the car has benefitted from substantial investment under his stewardship. The specification is comprehensive and is confirmed by a substantial history file. The engine is a Pinto block, mated to a 'Warrior' 16 valve cylinder head. The gearbox is a five-speed sequential change unit and the rear axle is a limited-slip unit, overhauled in 2011. The shell is a Gartrac body and meets Motor Sport Association standards, safely housing the two-Litre engine which was reconditioned in 2012 by Connaught Competition Engines at a cost of £3,897.60. Subsequently the car has been Dyno tested and confirmed to produce 291bhp. To be expected, the interior has a rollcage, Corbeau racing seats and harnesses together with the necessary instrumentation for competition use. Supplied with a V5 registration document, full year's MoT test certificate and MSA Competition Car Log Book (issued 9th April 2002), this is a superb example and any interested parties would be advised to view the vehicle carefully to fully appreciate the specification and quality of this example. 

Registration : GF51 XTG Chassis Number : SCFAB12372K302583 Engine Number : AM2/02576 Odometer reading : 69,824 miles Estimate : £18,000 - £24,000 Unveiled at the Geneva Motorshow in 1993, the Ian Callum styled DB7 began production in 1994 at a new factory in Bloxham, Oxfordshire. It was engineered in conjunction with Tom Walkinshaw's TWR group who built the new supercharged six cylinder engine. In 1999 the new DB7 Vantage with a V12 engine was revealed. It didn't just bring a new powertrain but more aggressive styling with a bigger front grill, new fog/side/indicator lights and imposing 18" wheels. The Vantage interior leather trim was cut and sewn at a special trim shop at Newport Pagnell where the carpet and wood veneers were also prepared. With the launch of the new V12 engine in the DB7 Vantage, production of the earlier straight-six DB7 ended in mid-1999. This extremely elegant righthand drive DB7 Vantage, fitted with the ZF automatic gearbox, is finished in Derwent Green with a Forest Green and Parchment leather interior. It was delivered new on 1st December 2001 by Lancaster in Sevenoaks. The service book has 15 stamps from Aston Martin main dealers and one stamp in 2011 from specialist, Desmond Smail. The car has been provided through Aston Martin Works in Newport Pagnell who performed the most recent service in November last year. A V5C registration document and MoT test certificate until February 2016 are also provided. With an excellent history and a most elegant colour combination, this DB7 drives well and is supplied in good order throughout. 

Registration : RUF 735M Chassis Number : AR1427621 Engine Number : AR00564/ES2130 Odometer reading : 88,437 km Estimate : £26,000 - £32,000 It is important to understand how the Alfa Romeo Montreal came about as its design and power plant are was something to behold. Montreal, Canada, the setting for the 1967 World's Fair; the International and Universal Exposition or 'Expo 67' as it was known. Alfa Romeo was asked to provide an exhibit that would be representative of the automotive industry. The result was a fabulous prototype designed by Marcello Gandini of the Bertone styling house and named Montreal in honour of the event. The 105 series chassis and components were used as a basis, designed with ease of future production in mind. When the first production model was revealed in 1970 the styling was virtually identical to the World's Fair prototype but the biggest surprise was the power plant under the bonnet. Alfa Romeo used a detuned Type 33 racing car's V8 engine of 2,593cc capacity which produced over 200bhp. Regrettably, the Type 33 six-speed transmission and transaxle were not used, however; a ZF gearbox five-speed gearbox and modified 105 series rear axle were incorporated to good effect. This lefthand drive Montreal was spotted for sale in Renens, Lausanne, Switzerland on the drive of a private residence by a John Hartland, a classic car dealer. John immediately stopped and after a detailed negotiated, a deal was agree and he promptly drove her back to UK. She ran perfectly on the return journey and was first registered in the UK on 26th May, 1989. The intention was always to sell the car on and it was advertised in Motorsport Magazine which is where the next owner, David Eaton, spotted her. David had recently bought an Espada which needed a partial restoration and engine rebuild, but he wanted a car to use while he rebuilt it. He had always liked the Montreal's excessive Italian styling and they also came with that fabulous race bred 2.6 litre, quad-cam, V8. David had watched the Alfa 33 spiders win at Brands Hatch in 1971 and was aware that the Montreal's engine was a detuned version of this. So over to Surrey he went and after one walk around the car, decided to buy. That was the 30th June 1989 and he has owned this car ever since. It was used regularly between 1989 and 1996 until, that is, the Espada was back on the road. At the first MoT test in 1989, she had 77,111km recorded which rose to 86,051km on 12th October, 1998 and, as of April 28th, 2015, the mileage is now ony 88,437km which translates to just 2,400km added in the last 17 years. She was rolled out several times in the year to keep everything in running order and, of course, (apart from a couple of times) off to the annual MoT testing station.   One of the first things that did need attention back in 1989 was the fuel tank as it was showing signs of porosity and these were virtually impossible to locate, even in Italy. So a local company in Essex, Hayward and Scott, were commissioned to manufacture an aluminium one. With the complex Spicer mechanical injection system, no chances can be taken. Also at the time of purchase, she had a plastic rear screen. Again finding a rear screen for a Montreal in 1989 was very difficult but the long-time secretary of the Montreal registry, Chris Slade, managed to find one in Italy which he brought back. Over the years, all the brakes have been rebuilt, new clutch fitted, wheels refurbished and, recently, new tyres. Prior to the purchase and registration in the UK, nothing is known of the history apart from the name and address on the log book. The chassis is completely rust-free and has never had any welding since arriving in the UK and looks completely original underneath. It has a full years MoT test certificate and benefits from all new lower ball joints and front brake hoses. She is reported to run well and represents an honest, solid and regularly used example, a proper driver's car. 

Registration : tbc Chassis Number : SCAZD42A0FCX10104 Engine Number : 10104 Odometer reading : 69,992 miles Estimate : £26,000 - £35,000 A term in both French and Italian for a coastal road, the name 'Corniche' was registered by Rolls-Royce in the 1930's yet was only designated to a production model in 1971 after which time the Mulliner Park Ward customisations to coupé and convertible Silver Shadow limousine, took this name. The Coachwork was designed by John Polwhele Blatchley and is characterised in particular by the uplifted waistline above the rear wheel-arches. When launched in 1971, the Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible was the most expensive British car on the market. The introduction of features such as rack-and-pinion steering, rubber bumpers and bi-level air conditioning resulted in demarcation of the production as 'Series II' from 1977 onwards before the name changed to 'Corniche II' in 1986 for the US market following further modifications. Most sources indicate that 3,224 Corniche Convertibles were built of which 2,006 were Series II cars. Rolls-Royce had varying degrees of success with export sales and very roughly 25-30% of Series II cars would have been sold to export markets. Our example is a lefthand drive, Series II, delivered new by Marty Motors Corp, New York on 30th January 1985. Specified with Royal Blue coachwork with tan hide Connelly leather interior and Tan Everflex electric convertible roof. The original owners wallet, with delivery card, remains with the vehicle along with owner's manual, audio guide, warranty pamphlets and service booklet (with stamped entries in New York, Palm Beach, Florida and Maryland). The Rolls-Royce master key is also present. It was privately imported to the UK last year and has been subject to work on the suspension and overhaul of the braking system by an independent specialist who for many years worked on the Corniche whilst at HR Owen, Western Avenue, London at the time when Rolls-Royce was still manufacturing the Corniche and selling many from that flagship dealership. This most elegant low-mileage example is beautifully poised and reported by the private owner to drive majestically. The car is presented in good order throughout and with eight months MoT test certificate, is ready to be enjoyed straight away for continental top-down motoring.   Interested parties should note that the current number plate is to be retained and a new aged-related plate issued instead. 

Registration : TSY 247 Chassis Number : AR 1495 02814 Engine Number : AR 1315 50407 Odometer reading : 43,950 km Estimate : £26,000 - £30,000 We are delighted to offer this Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider which, according to the Alfa Romeo Historic Archive in Arese, Milan, was manufactured on 19th November 1957 with the original body colour of white, and was sold on 21st March 1958 in Melegnano, Milan.  Today, this Giulietta sports red coachwork, a change from its original white, and carried out sometime in its earlier life. On inspection, it appears straight and rust free and although applied some years ago, the finish still looks smart. The engine bay is finished in black and gives away the original colour in places. Mechanically, the original 1290cc engine has been replaced with a later 1290cc Berlina block (a common change in period) mated to the standard four-speed gearbox. An early, rare and sought after cylinder head is fitted and fuelled via twin DCO3 sand cast Weber carburettors. As the historic racing fraternity knows, these carburettors are in very high demand and if a set can be found. The engine is also of interest in that it has an early cylinder head with the fuel pump located and driven off the exhaust camshaft. The chrome work does require some renovation and the wheels look original and untouched. Looking inside, the interior is in good condition and the hood, on removing it from its stowage, operates correctly and is in good order. A large history file accompanies this Giulietta and includes early Giulietta Register club magazines, many magazine articles and cuttings with road test reports from Autocar, Motor and Road and Track and an original Alfa Romeo spare parts catalogue. A large quantity of invoices and notes from its early days in the UK also give a fascinating insight into the car, including records from the well known Alfa Romeo racing driver of the period, John Dooley of Brookside Garage. It also benefits from an MoT test certificate valid until 9th September 2015. The Giulietta's V5 records the car as having first been registered in October 1996, and in fact the car has been in long-term ownership since then. However a sales invoice from 6th December 1974 suggests the car has been in the UK since 1974; as does a letter from Alfa Romeo (Great Britain) Ltd dated 21st June 1976, stating that the car is to Spider Veloce configuration. If you can look past this Spider's imperfections, you should be able to see a fabulous and rare, pre 1960, short wheelbase Giulietta that all too infrequently comes onto the market. 

Registration : 463NCG Chassis Number : T825029DN Engine Number : VS2150-9 Odometer reading : 24,786 miles Estimate : £44,000 - £50,000 Although having a family resemblance to the XK120 and XK140, the XK150 was radically modernised. A one piece windscreen replaced the split screen and the wing line no longer dropped as much over the doors. The bonnet was widened, opened down to the wings and, on the roadster, the bulkhead was moved back four inches to make the bonnet longer. In the interior, the XK140's walnut dashboard was replaced by one trimmed in leather and chrome. On the early drophead coupés, an aluminium centre dash panel with an 'X' pattern engraving was fitted which looked similar to the early 3.8 litre, E-Type, whilst thinner doors gave more interior space. The four-wheel Dunlop 12" disc brakes appeared for the first time although it was theoretically possible to order a car with drums and either wire wheels or disc wheels could be specified. Suspension and chassis were very similar to that on the XK140. These were high performance, well-appointed sports touring cars capable of 137mph and 0-60 in 7.8 seconds and accomplished long distances with alacrity. This rare righthand drive XK150S Coupé is fitted with the 3.4 litre engine and overdrive gearbox. This two-owner car from new was purchased by the vendor in 1965. Fully maintained and serviced by the vendor in his own workshop, this XK150S is in excellent mechanical condition; it starts easily and runs very well. The car has been re-painted while in his ownership and is finished in British Racing Green with the original brown leather interior. This Jaguar XK150S is supplied with a V5C registration document, an old V5 document, the buff log book and MoT test certificates going back to 2003 which show how little mileage this car has covered in the last twelve years. Righthand drive XK Jaguars from this period are very sought after and collectable - particularly the rare 150S model -and it is even rarer to find an unrestored example in such good condition.  

Registration : CDT626T Chassis Number : 10702422024113 Engine Number : 11798522034915 Estimate : £11,000 - £14,000 The R107 and C107 took the chassis components of the mid size Mercedes-Benz W114 model and mated them to the larger engines from the W116 S-Class. The SL version was a two seat roadster with standard soft and hardtop with optional folding seats for the rear bench. The SLC (C107) derivative was a two-door hardtop coupé with normal rear seats. The SLC is commonly referred to as an 'SL coupé', but in reality it was an S-class coupé replacing the former saloon-based 280/300 SE coupé in the Mercedes-Benz line-up. The SLC was replaced earlier than the SL, in 1981, with a much larger model, the 380SEC based on the new S class. Sales in North America began in 1972, with the name 350SL, but with a larger 4.5 litre, V8 engine and were renamed 450SL/SLC. Originally registered on 18th January 1979 this 450 SLC is a fine example and is finished in metallic bronze with beige velour trim. We are advised she drives extremely well with no known faults and cosmetically CDT626T is in excellent order. Supplied with a V5 registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until 4th December 2015, this Mercedes-Benz also benefits from having a sunroof fitted. This charming SLC is certainly one of the finest we have seen for a long time. 

Registration : SGK492V Chassis Number : ZFFAA02A2A0033415 Odometer reading : 55,682 miles Estimate : £36,000 - £42,000 The 308GTB was launched at the Paris Motor Show in 1975 and was built alongside the 308GT4, designed as a replacement for the 246 Dino. Designed by Leonardo Fiorvanti, the man who styled some of the most iconic Ferraris including the Daytona, the new 308 was a rakish and attractive body which fused classic elements of Ferrari styling with a thoroughly modern design. For the first two years of production, the body of the 308 was produced in fibreglass, after which, steel was used. The 308 shared a similar tube frame chassis to the original Dino and 308GT4; with four wheel, double wishbone independent suspension. Although Ferrari had used fuel injection for a number of his single-seater and sports racing cars, it had been considered too complex and precarious for use with road cars. As time went by, the technology improved until, in 1979, fuel injection was introduced on the 400GT. Perhaps the ousting of Weber artistry was inevitable not only from an engine development point of view, but also to help in meeting the increase demands of the legislators. Whatever the reasons, it became Ferrari policy to introduce fuel injection on all production models. For the 308 Ferrari chose to stay with the Bosch K Jetronic system. It was available on the US specification 308s around the middle of 1980, but not until some months later on the European models. Along with the introduction of fuel injection, there was a switch to Marelli Digiplex electronic ignition and the gearbox was modified. Outwardly, there was little to distinguish these cars from those that have gone before. The 'I' on the back denotes the use of injection and twin tailpipes either side of the silencer box, but this was not infallible as twin exhausts had also been used on high-performance options. Imported from the USA in July 1998, this 1980 Ferrari 308GTSi was originally supplied in Rosso Corsa but was repainted in 2011, changing the colour to Giallo Fly- the very attractive Ferrari yellow. The interior is in its original black leather and it comes with a black removable roof. The car has been in a private collection and was taken off the road in 2006 before being returned and re-commissioned in 2013 by a top UK Ferrari specialist, QV London based in Windsor, Berkshire. It has recently been serviced, including having the cam belts replaced by the same company. This Ferrari 308GTSi is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in May 2016 and a small file containing old MoT test certificates and copies of invoices from 2013 and the recent service. The 308 model is one of the most classical shapes produced by Ferrari in the 1980s and good value as Ferraris continue to rise in value and desirability. 

Registration : YSU 811 Chassis Number : HBT7L18474 Engine Number : 29ERU-H910 Odometer reading : 8,747 miles Estimate : £30,000 - £36,000 The Austin-Healey 3000 was built from 1959 to 1967 and is the best known of the 'big' Healey models. The car's bodywork was made by Jensen Motors and the vehicles were assembled at the BMC Abingdon works. The 3000 was a successful car which won its class in many European rallies during its heyday and also ran at Le Mans during that period; as such, it is still used in competition by enthusiasts today. Introduced in March 1961, the 3000 Mk. II came with three SU carburettors and an uprated camshaft, designated the BT7 Mk. II (four-seat version) and BN7 Mk. II (two-seat version); however, upon the introduction of the BJ7 (2+2 seats) model in January 1962, the number of carburettors was reduced to two. As a result of the introduction of the BJ7, the BN7 ceased production in March 1962, with the BT7 coming to an end in June. This supremely elegant 3000 presents in the classic Healey combination of Ice Blue over Old English White with a contrasting black leather interior. Originally an export car and with overdrive fitted from new, it has since been repatriated and the steering wheel moved to the righthand side. The body has been fully restored with the addition also of new chrome wire wheels. Included in the extensive history file is a UK registration certificate and a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, described by the vender as close to excellent throughout, this archetypal British sportscar could not only make a sound investment but deliver the visceral experience that these sportscars are famous for. 

Registration : UOA597L Chassis Number : 9113101941 Engine Number : 6133726 Odometer reading : 43,000 miles Estimate : £54,000 - £59,000 The original Porsche 911 was introduced in Autumn 1963 and manufactured until 1989. It was succeeded by a modified version, internally referred to as Porsche 964, but still sold as Porsche 911, as are current models. Mechanically, the 911 was notable for being rear-engined and air-cooled and, from its inception, the 911 was modified both by private teams and the factory itself for racing, rallying and other types of competition. The original 911 series is often cited as the most successful competition car ever, especially when its variations are included; namely the powerful 911-derived 935 which won the 24 Hours du Mans and other major sportscar races outright against prototypes. The 911T was the first Porsche to receive the new Bosch K-Jetronic or CIS engine (Continuous Injection System) from January 1973 onwards. Often referred to as 1973 1/2, these T models produce 140bhp and also boast the newer type standard H pattern (915) gearbox which, in tandem, provide a smooth yet powerful engine and are great fun to drive. This lefthand drive, matching numbers, 1973 Porsche 911T coupé with electric sunroof was sold new by McPeak Porsche/Audi in Walnut Creek, California and has a complete history going back to then, even including the original windscreen sticker. The last owner purchased it from the fifth owner in 2013, with the last three owners all members of the Porsche Club of America and all of the previous owners spending substantial sums maintaining this car. One in particular decided to upgrade the engine to virtually 'S' specification and on file an invoice confirms the $20,000 engine rebuild and upgrades undertaken. At the same time, the car was lowered with Bilstein sports suspension and a Dansk stainless dual outlet exhaust was fitted. In 1997, a Porsche Owner's Club 'purchasing check list' was carried out and the car scored 97%, remaining in the same condition today. Last year the car was sent to Tuthill Porsche for a full inspection and major service and evidently, no expense was spared in the preparation; £6,000 was spent with Tuthill's ensuring that the car is absolutely on the button and ready to enjoy. All invoices and inspection reports, which report no mechanical or body defaults, are in the history file and Tuthill's reported that it is a very good car. The car has been previously repainted in the original metallic blue and the black interior is in excellent condition. This 911T is supplied with a V5C registration document and a file containing all the invoices and inspection reports. 

Registration : BHJ 242J Chassis Number : 8086 Engine Number : 40380 Odometer reading : 95,561 km Estimate : £45,000 - £55,000 Lamborghini wanted to include a four seat, grand tourer to the model line-up which included the Miura and the 400GT; this came to fruition in the Spring of 1968 when the Espada was exhibited at the Geneva Salon. A very distinctive design by Marcello Gandini of Bertone, it was radical in appearance yet extremely practical. The name 'Espada' means 'sword' in Spanish, referring to the sword that bullfighters use to kill the bulls. With 150mph performance from the 3.9-litre, V12 engine, five speed gearbox, chassis-mounted rear axle and all-independent, coil spring suspension, the car was built as a high performance supercar. The interior was altered dramatically between each model. An all new dashboard and steering wheel was installed for the S2 and the interior was again revamped for the S3. This lefthand drive Series Two Espada was manufactured on October 1st, 1970 and benefits from being one of the last Series Two's to be built with the glorious Muira centre spinner Campagnolo wheels, and the Series One rear lamps. It was delivered on October 15, 1970 to Lamborauto of Turin and sold to Ms. Zutinic Radmila who owned the car until 1972. The second owner, Roberto Jaime Gourlay, purchased the car in Turin in 1972 and was working as a buyer for the Canadian Forces Exchange Stores in Lahr, Germany. He had a Department of National Defence driver's licence and was able to register the Espada with the Canadian Forces and not with the German TUV and so the car had DND Canadian licence plates in Germany. When Roberto departed Lahr and set up business in Frankfurt, he had to change the Canadian (CDN) plates for German duty free plates and continued to enjoy the car. He then went to work in Spain where the authorities let him drive the car on tourist plates as long as he held a valid work and residence permit. When the permit ended however, the Spanish authorities insisted he had to register on Spanish plates and demanded a considerable fee. At this point, he decided to leave Spain within the week and drove back to Germany. His intention was to sell the Espada but as the German economy was not in good shape, he drove it to the UK where the car was sold to a wealthy horse dealer and saddler, Kenneth Lyndon-Dyres, of Maidstone, Kent. It was first registered in the UK on 10th May, 1976 having had four owners by this time. It was then shipped to California with the intention of selling but did not meet the emission regulations and so was shipped back by a Don Kay of Croydon who bought it in the USA. It was then acquired by a Michael Percy of Piddington, High Wycombe on 23rd September 1980. We believe it was owned by him until 1986 at which time, the engine dropped a valve and the car was bought by Thoroughbred Sports Cars, Whitney, Oxfordshire. The engine was removed and the body re-painted from Azzurro Mexico (light blue) to red. It then remained with the engine out until the vendor decided it was time to rescue her and bought the car on 10th February, 1989. David Eaton had wanted an Espada since first seeing the car in magazines in the late 60's and had joined the Lamborghini club in 1988. Being just 44 inches high (the car not the vendor), and so long and wide, this spectacular four-seat shape had completely hooked him. It is important to note that the decision to buy was based on being able to see the body shell and chassis were rust free and a desire to rebuild a Lamborghini V12. It took seven years to take the car back to bare metal and then two-pack the complete underneath (still in excellent condition) as well as rebuild the suspension and, of course, that fabulous V12 engine. The engine has the original pistons and bores but was rebuilt with new rings, chains, shells, and gaskets at 77,000km. The paint you see has been on the car since 1986. She was back on the road in 1996 and has clocked-up approximately 18,000 trouble free kilometres. More recently, she has been back to the factory for the Murcielago launch in Germany and numerous trips up and down the UK. It has also been to the 50th anniversary timeline in London and the Silverstone Classics 2013 and 2014. But after 26 years of ownership, a difficult decision was made to sell her; as another classic racing car project beckons. Presented with a full year's MoT test certificate and a new set of Pirelli tyres, it is with a heavy heart that one man's passion is now available.  

Registration : AOD 789A Chassis Number : 878572 Engine Number : R4281-9 Odometer reading : 80,806 miles Estimate : £78,000 - £90,000 Rather like gold and property, there are a number of other investment vehicles (excuse the pun) that can be relied upon within the classic car market. Cars that, when tracked, prescribe a curve that can not only be relied upon to remain even and constant but also offer the investor a reasonably dependable return. Where it differs from more conventional investments is that it accelerates to 60mph in 7.6 seconds, has a top speed of 153mph and represents one of the most beautiful objects ever penned by a human being. Behind the wheel, the visceral experience is exquisite, women think you are intoxicating and the simple pride of ownership is one that overrides even an Applecorp share certificate. It's a constant wonder to me that not everyone has a Jaguar E-Type. The pinnacle, of course, is the first incarnation of the model, the Series I and it is an extremely well restored one that is presented here today. It was acquired in a partially restored state approximately three years ago by the vendor, himself something of a specialist in this field but probably better known for dominating the XK racing scene for the last twenty years. Under Trevor Grooms critical eye, the car was completely stripped, painted and rebuilt. All bright-work was re-chromed and the braking system was completely re-worked (with new piping). The rear differential now has a rebuilt 3.31 power lock system and the gearbox has a clean bill of health. A new clutch, fuel pump & lines and complete new wiring harness has been fitted. The engine has been completely rebuilt with electronic ignition, rebuilt dynamo and overhauled radiator. The front suspension, shock absorbers, steering rack (and mounts) are all rebuilt, have new bushes and refitted and all finished off with a brand new stainless steel exhaust. Whilst the mechanics are fully sorted, the interior has not been neglected. Completely re-trimmed, as you would expect, with new seats and runners, new hood and hood cover and, most unusually, a factory hardtop is also included. This description gives only a brief insight into the works carried out, further inspection of the history file will show additional details such as the addition of a new battery and cut-off, rebuilt heater box and associated pipe work and a new aluminium dash kit amongst many others. So, properly restored, a matching numbers car and the model and configuration to own, use or collect. 

Registration : FIB8801 Chassis Number : ZFFSA17JAP0076215 Engine Number : 11638 Odometer reading : 24,700 miles Estimate : £72,000 - £82,000 Ferrari unveiled the new Testarossa at the 1984 Paris Motor Show marking the end of production of the Boxer, the car that had been the flagship 12-cylinder Ferrari model for the previous ten years. Styled by Pininfarina, the Testarossa paid homage to the great 50s sports racer that originally bore the name, simply translating as 'Red Head'; the rocker covers being painted red. The mid-engine, rear wheel drive configuration allowed the center of gravity to be positioned in the middle of the car, with a weight distribution ratio of 40% front and 60% rear, thus achieving excellent cornering and road holding ability. The Testarossa was produced with 16'' five-spoke 'Star' alloy wheels and disc brakes fitted all round; with 309mm discs at the front and 310mm discs at the rear. The Testarossa was larger than its Boxer predecessor; six inches wider and some 2½ inches longer which allowed more leg room. In addition, the temperature inside the cockpit was reduced as twin radiators were mounted in the rear; unlike the Boxer, where the single front mounted radiator had plumbing from the bonnet to the engine behind the seats, which made the cabin very hot, especially on a warm day. The distinctive side vents were as useful as they were visually striking, allowing excellent engine ventilation, whilst contributing to the car's unique styling. This truly excellent 1988 Ferrari Testarossa was imported from Japan in 1998 and has been in two private collections since, the current vendor having purchased the car in 2012. Whilst in his ownership, it has been maintained by well-known Ferrari specialists based in Berkshire who have undertaken the most recent work to the car; a cam belt service and MoT test, in May 2015. This Ferrari Testarossa is finished in 'Nero Metallico' with black leather interior and is supplied with a V5C registration document, MoT test certificate valid until May 2016 and some recent invoices. Ferraris from this period have become very collectable with superb examples such as this one are becoming harder to find making them a great investment as they will continue to increase in value. 

Registration : SSU 788 Chassis Number : S827638DN Engine Number : V76068 Estimate : £65,000 - £72,000 This 1960 Jaguar XK150 SE has been in the same ownership since 1988 and is now being offered as part of a deceased estate. Although bearing a family resemblance to the XK120 and XK140, the XK150 was radically revised. A one-piece windscreen replaced the split screen, and the wing line no longer dropped so deeply at the doors. The front parking lights, which were located at the top of the wings, featured a red light to remind the driver the lights were on. Mechanically, the 3.4 litre DOHC Jaguar straight six engine was rated at 180 SAE bhp at 5750 rpm but most cars were fitted with the SE engine whose modified cylinder head (B type) and larger exhaust valves boosted the power to a claimed 210 SAE bhp at 5500 rpm. Twin 1.75-inch (44 mm) SU HD6 carburettors were fitted. The suspension and chassis were very similar to the XK140, and steering was by rack and pinion. According to the original buff log book, the Jaguar was first registered in September 1960, in Kirkowen, Belfast and only four keepers are recorded including the deceased gentleman who remains the last name on the log book. It is rare to find an XK that has been for the most part unmolested and has certainly not had the soul restored out of it. There are a very few blemishes to the coachwork which is resplendent in white and certainly shows off the excellent chrome work and chrome wire wheels. The interior has also been untouched and, although the red leather has that certain patina, the interior is in very good order and serviceable. As well as the original buff log book and instruction manual, the history file shows works carried out by the Jaguar specialists M. Barclay and Hoffman's of Henley amongst others. Since purchase by its enthusiastic owner in 1988, this XK150 DHC has been well loved and cared for, only being used on dry days for trips to local car shows and occasions. We are advised that this Jaguar will arrive at the sale with a current UK V5 registration document and a fresh MoT test certificate. This Jaguar XK150 SE DHC offers the chance to own a very honest and largely original car that is not often found these days.  

Registration : 433YUY Chassis Number : 875976 Engine Number : R2455-9 Odometer reading : 21,224 miles Estimate : £140,000 - £160,000 Launched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type was nothing short of a revelation. With its heady blend of supercar performance, breathtaking styling and low price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. Early sportscar racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement its reputation. Built as a monocoque with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent road holding and handling capabilities. Achingly beautiful yet viciously quick, the E-type remains for many the ultimate production Jaguar. This lefthand drive 1961 Series I, 'Flat Floor', E-type roadster was supplied new in November 1961 to a Mr. E.M. Crissly of Atlanta Georgia via the New York Jaguar Dealership. Mr. Crissly sold the car after less than a year in 1962 to John Alexander, a resident in San Antonio. From this point onwards the car would remain in the warm climate of Texas until being repatriated to the UK in 2013. Mr Alexander kept the car for 20 years and the third owner, Robert Carter of Houston, had the car for 31 years from 1982 to 2013. This history is validated by a Texas title document and the Jaguar Heritage Certificate. Since arriving back in the UK, the car has been treated to a ground up restoration by the Jaguar Specialists, Fullbridge Restorations in Essex which included a bare metal repaint in the car's original colour of Carmen red and all new black trim. This Series I E-Type is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in May 2016 and copies of the Heritage Certificate and Texas title. This is an opportunity to purchase not only the most sought after E-type model - the 3.8 litre, 'flat floor' - but one which has been beautifully restored to the original specification. 

Registration : AMO 231J Chassis Number : CRH8349 Engine Number : 8349 Estimate : £40,000 - £45,000 Rolls-Royce Motors formed Mulliner Park Ward by the 1961 merger of two Rolls-Royce subsidiaries: Park Ward of Willesden, London, a Rolls-Royce subsidiary since 1939 and H. J. Mulliner & Co. of Chiswick, a Rolls-Royce subsidiary since 1959. Mulliner Park Ward continues to operate as the vehicle customization division of Bentley Motors Limited, the successor of Rolls-Royce Motors. The Corniche was a development of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow with the two door variants of that model marketed as the 'Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward' two-door fixedhead coupé, the very handsome coachwork design was by John Polwhele Blatchley. The model was assembled and finished in London at Mulliner Park Ward as continuation of the 1965 Silver Shadow coupé, the Corniche name was applied from 1971 for all two-door coupés. The car used the standard Rolls-Royce V8 6750cc engine, with an aluminium-silicon alloy block and aluminium cylinder heads with cast iron wet cylinder liners mated to a three-speed automatic transmission from General Motors. This incredibly handsome 2-door Rolls-Royce was supplied by Lex Mead of Weybridge on 23rd October 1970 at a cost of £8,658 and has only had three owners in total during its' 45 years on the road. The car has only covered 37,000 miles in total and this is warranted by a great history file. Described as 'like driving your favourite armchair', the level of comfort from this Rolls-Royce is what is expected from such a premium marque. The silver coachwork is in excellent condition as is the sumptuous rich red interior. Supplied with a V5 registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until 21st November 2015, rarely do such splendid examples as this come to market. 

Registration : ONW 129 Chassis Number : 51739 Engine Number : 51739 Estimate : £6,000 - £12,000 The highly esteemed Daimler Motor Co. Ltd. of Coventry, England introduced its superb DE36 ultra luxury-car chassis in 1946. The firm was, at the time, just returning to car production after a six-year hiatus brought about by World War II. It had all the qualities of silence and dignity of which Daimler is a synonymous with; speed, acceleration and roadholding. British royalty used several DE36 cars, as England's Daimler had long been the motorcar of choice for the nation's Royal family. According to the DE Registry website, additional royal first owners included the King of Thailand, Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie, the King of Afghanistan and the Prince and Princess of Monaco. One of just six built, this imposing and well built example razor-edged, close-coupled touring limousine coachwork by specialist, Freestone & Webb. ONW129 was purchased new by the Bishop of Leeds who, in turn, sold it to a wedding hire company in Wales. It was then sold on privately through a small ad in the Times in the mid to late 1960s to Mr. Rupert Spink. It was used by them right up until 1977 when it then passed to noted Daimler Historian, Brian Smith where it featured in his acclaimed, two-volume tome, 'Daimler Days'. Indeed it has also been described in another Dalton Watson publication as "the last of the great straight 8's" and "fairly undervalued". The car was complete but drab in its original black and navy blue faded paint and improvised interior trim, Rexine replacing leather and cloth. He then began a restoration exercise, mechanically it required little although later it suffered from a stuck valve and the head was sent it away for a professional overhaul. Part of the exhaust system was also replaced and new gaskets fitted to head and manifolds. The paintwork was rubbed down and made ready for its new colour scheme and the car then went to professional trimmers who completely renewed the interior. The interior woodwork was re-polished and re-chroming took place where necessary. With new tyres, it was then enjoyed and indeed went on to transport all three daughters to their respective weddings. In 2000, it was sold, in good running order, to Mike Batt in Upminster and then to the vendor shortly after. Recently overhauled and in running order, this splendid example is ready for some fine outings over the summer months. 

Registration : BYT111 Chassis Number : Z11399 Engine Number : 9567 Estimate : £165,000 - £185,000 The Lagonda car company was founded in 1906 in Staines, Middlesex by the American Wilbur Gunn (1859-1920), who named it after a river near his home town of Springfield, Ohio. Gunn had started out building motorcycles in the garden of his house in Staines with some success including winning the 1905 London to Edinburgh Trial. In 1907, he launched his first car and in 1910 won the Moscow to St Petersburg Trial driving a 16/18bhp model. Having established its reputation, Lagonda concentrated mainly on the production of light cars before reverting to sporting and luxury models in the mid-1920s with the introduction of the 14/60. This four-cylinder, two-litre model was joined in 1929 by the first Lagonda six-cylinder engine, the three-litre, but by the mid-1930s, the Meadows-engined cars were seen as the way forward. Introduced at the 1933 Olympia Show and based on the preceding ZM three-litre model, the M45 deployed Meadows' 4.5-litre, twin-plug six-cylinder to good effect with saloons being capable of reaching 90mph and tourers even hitting 'the ton' under favourable conditions! 'A short run on one of the first of the 4.5-litre Lagonda models, with an open four-seater body, left a vivid impression not only of brilliant acceleration and sheer performance, but of a car delightfully silent and easy running in a way that can be achieved to its fullest extent only by a big-engined machine working well inside its limits,' reported The Autocar in 1933. A team of three specially prepared short-chassis cars (effectively the soon-to-be-announced M45 Rapide) prepared by Lagonda main agents, Fox & Nicholls, performed creditably at the 1934 RAC Tourist Trophy at Ards and the following year, one of these TT cars driven by John Hindmarsh and Luis Fontes won the Le Mans 24-Hour endurance classic outright. Endowed with such an impeccable pedigree, the Lagonda 4.5-litre quickly established itself as a favourite among the wealthy sporting motorists of its day - World Land Speed Record holder, Sir Malcolm Campbell was one of many high-profile M45 owners - and over 70 years on, this model and the M45R Rapide in particular, remains a much sought after classic. The car offered here has been owned by two avid car collectors since 1963. The previous owner kept this T7 bodied M45 Rapide with two other Lagondas in his collection and used them regularly. He had actually started to restore this particular car in the late 1990s but unfortunately passed away before the final items could be completed. The current owner was a close family friend who had helped with the disposal of the vehicle collection. Consequently, that left this car which he purchased in 2002. He then completed the restoration which included completely rebuilding the engine and renewing the leather interior. In recent years, he has used it on the Irish Jubilee Rally and has taken it to the Le Mans Classic with both trips trouble free other a couple of punctures. The reliability of this car is such that, when it was consigned, the owner was planning to drive the car to Brooklands from South Wales. This M45 Rapide, with the original T7 touring body, is finished in blue with dark blue leather interior, black hood and side screens. It is supplied with a V5C registration document, a valid MoT test certificate and a file with continuous history going back to 1952. In the history file there is an invoice for an engine overhaul, completed in 1962 at the cost of a small flat. Lagonda cars have always upheld a reputation for effortless fast touring and the pride of ownership which fine detail work and distinguished coachbuilding can give. The 4.5-litre model retains these characteristics but scores considerably over its forebears by its high power-to-weight ratio. This Lagonda M45 Rapide is an exciting, ready-to-go, very well sorted driver with astonishing power and equally capable handling.  

Registration : WGU710F Chassis Number : 815431014274 Engine Number : 702425 Odometer reading : 6,800  Estimate : £9,000 - £12,000 Launched in 1961, the Flavia saloon maintained Lancia's enviable reputation for advanced and innovative automotive engineering. Designed by Antonio Fessia and inspired by his Cemsa prototype of 1947, the Flavia was Italy's first series-production car to employ front-wheel drive. Carried well forward of the front wheels, the engine was a 1,488cc, overhead-valve, horizontally-opposed, four-cylinder unit; suspension was independent at the front and by beam axle at the rear and there were dual-circuit, servo-assisted disc brakes all round. The saloon was joined by the shorter-wheelbase Pininfarina-styled coupé in 1962, the latter providing the basis for a convertible version by Vignale. An attractive four-seater sports car. This extremely handsome Flavia coupé was first registered on 28th December 1967 and is fitted with the more desirable 1800cc fuel injected engine. The blue coachwork is in good condition and is complemented by a burgundy interior, also in very good condition. We are advised WGU 710F drives very well, although the vendor has asked us to point out that the clutch judders and may need some attention. A good history file is supplied, along with a V5 registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until 5th September 2015. This righthand drive Lancia is a very good, thoroughly useable example, offering grace and style all in one. 

Registration : UU6 794 Chassis Number : FB3322 Engine Number : FB3325 Odometer reading : 30,808 miles Estimate : £525,000 - £575,000 W. O. Bentley proudly debuted the new 3-litre car bearing his name at the 1919 Olympia Motor Exhibition, the prototype engine having fired up for the first time just a few weeks earlier. In only mildly developed form, this was the model which was to become a legend in motor racing history and which, with its leather-strapped bonnet, classical radiator design and British Racing Green livery has become the archetypal vintage sportscar. The new 4½ litre model effectively employed the chassis, transmission and brakes of the 3 litre, combined with an engine that was in essence two-thirds of the six-cylinder 6½ litre unit. Thus the new four-cylinder motor retained the six's 100x140mm bore/stroke and Bentley's familiar four-valves-per-cylinder fixedhead architecture but reverted to the front-end vertical camshaft drive of the 3 litre. Bentley Motors lost no time in race-proving its new car. It is believed that the first prototype engine went into the 3 litre chassis of the 1927 Le Mans practice car. The original 4½ litre car, nicknamed by the team 'Old Mother Gun' and driven by Frank Clement and Leslie Callingham, promptly set the fastest race lap of 73.41mph before being eliminated in the infamous 'White House Crash' multiple pile-up. The 4½ litre was produced for four years, all but nine of the 665 cars made being built on the 3 litre's 'Long Standard', 10' 10"-wheelbase chassis. Purchasers of the 4½ litre model were, in common with those of all vintage-period Bentleys, free to specify their preferences from a very considerable range of mechanical and electrical equipment in addition to whatever body style and coachbuilder may be required. This outstanding Bentley was first registered on 29th June 1929 to Sq. Ldr. C.A. Ridley of Horley with the car changing hands to Capt. H.R. Campion just prior to the war. During the war the Bentley was laid up in the Cumberland Hotel garage in London and fortunately survived unscathed with the car re-commissioned after the war by Capt. Campion's son. Originally built with a Maythorne and Sons saloon body, it is thought to have been re-bodied by Vanden Plas circa 1965. The engine and back axle were overhauled by Sid Cooper of Birmingham, a renowned Bentley specialist. The Bentley is in splendid order today having had significant sums spent on her over a long period. The history file is substantial and dates back to 1964, included are a number of hand written notes showing expenditure and also details of some European outings. A Bentley 4½ litre is a thing of beauty, to sit and drive one is a memorable experience. The current vendor has thoroughly enjoyed owning this outstanding example after searching long and hard to find the car he wanted. It is easy to see why he chose to purchase UU6 794, aesthetically everything is right about the car, mechanically she appears to be in very good order and condition throughout is excellent. She is fitted with a Le Mans fuel tank and radiator cap, electric fuel pumps, double Hartford shock absorbers front and rear, correct P100 headlamps, fold flat windscreen with aero screens. The dashboard has the correct instrumentation with Jaeger speedometer and rev counter with Smiths original gauges completing the impressive line-up. This is a matching numbers example and remains a car of elegance and style that is still more than able to cruise at speed should you choose to do so. 

Registration : YPC555 Chassis Number : 807260 Engine Number : G5031-8 Odometer reading : 66,485 miles Estimate : £58,000 - £64,000 In 1954, the XK120's were superseded by the mechanically updated XK140's fitted with the more powerful 190bhp XK engine which had been used in the Special Equipment 120's. The new models were visually similar to their predecessors differing in external details only. The fixedhead had an extended roof line and, together with the drophead Coupé, was given two small extra seats in the rear suitable for children or adults for a short journey but they made the XK's a little more practical for the family man. Overdrive was now an optional extra and the car could be ordered with a C-Type head in which case power output was increased to 210bhp. The price of the roadster, all but a handful of which were exported, was now £1,127 (plus tax); Special Equipment versions were known in the States as XK140M's and, when fitted with the C-type head, as MC's. The XK140's maintained the XK's popularity but very few found their way into competition although those that did performed well. Today, many are prepped for competition by such specialists as Guy Broad and Twyford Moors and represent formidable opponents. This rare, very original, matching numbers, righthand drive 1955 Jaguar XK140 drophead coupé was purchased by the owner in 1974 after seeing it advertised with 60,000 miles on the clock and in immaculate condition. It was a lot more money than he could afford but he dashed over to where the car was and wrote a cheque for much less than the asking price and put it on the bonnet; after 20 minutes the gentleman owner stepped forward and picked up the cheque. After a worrying week waiting for the cheque to clear, our vendor finally picked up the car. This car has been fully maintained and serviced by the vendor in his own workshop at his farm; it runs and drives superbly having only covered about 6,500 miles since its purchase. Finished in British Racing Green with black roof and brown leather interior, this XK140 is supplied with a V5C registration document, old registration documents and old Mot test certificates which go back to 2001. This is a rare opportunity to purchase an original XK140, righthand drive drophead coupé which has not been restored but is still in excellent condition throughout.  

Registration : APU 122A Chassis Number : HBT7/8155 Engine Number : 29DRUH/12122 Estimate : £35,000 - £45,000 There is little doubt that the Big Healey occupies a significant chapter in the annuls of historic rallying. Few cars can compete with the elegant lines and formidable three litre engine that took so many of these to victory at stages all over the world. The BMC competitions department rallied the 3000 from its introduction but the development of the works cars effectively ended in 1965 mainly because of the success of the Mini Cooper 'S'. Such luminaries as Pat Moss and Tommy Wisdom, Nancy Mitchell, John Gott and Peter Riley took these cars into the public eye where they remain just as competitive with modern day warriors such as David Grace Simon Kidstone. Chassis number H-BT-H/12122 was built in March 1960 and dispatched to Imperial Motors in Bournemouth. The equipment specified at the factory included a black hardtop, roadspeed tyres, a laminated windscreen, disc wheels all round, adjustable steering column and over drive. No heater was requested. Whilst the first owner is unknown, a paper-trail does exist detailing its history with the second owner from 1968. A change of ownership took place at that point to Brian Turner of West London with another change in 1972 to John Seymour in Essex. He took the original registration number, OTK 76, off the car replacing it with the current number, APU 122A although still raced with OTK 76 right through to 1989. It is believed that the original number was not sold but attributed to his tow-vehicle while he raced the Healey. In 1972/73, it was fully converted to its current racing specification before selling to Roger Byford in the early 1980's. It is thought that during John Seymour's ownership, the car was taken back to Donald Healey in Warwickshire to be converted to a race car. To the trained eye, there are also another few details that stand out; primarily, all the body panels are aluminium, including all four wings and doors, normally the preserve of the works team cars, including the dished rear lid, so shaped to take a spare wheel. Additionally the throttle assemblies and rocker cover are also of the works type. The shock absorbers are Armstrong adjustable units to the rear and Armstrong up-rated to the front. The gearbox contains straight cut, close ratio gearing of the type used at Sebring, Donald Healey's most successful circuit, mated to a 2912cc engine with oversize valves, a racing camshaft by Rees and a Tuftrided drilled crankshaft fitted to a lightened and balanced flywheel. The competition distributer keeps things in time and the triple DCOE's ensure the fuel is flowing correctly. The brakes are servo-assisted by Bob Green with a limited slip differential and new crown wheel and pinion with a 4.1:1 ratio. There appears to be much on this car that speaks of more than the sum of its parts. In 1982, the car was sold to a German owner where it was raced on the continent until 1989 when the vehicle was parked up and for the past 25 years it has been dry stored. Recently recommisioned, it now has excellent oil pressure and runs well. It has just been through a UK MoT test; albeit with a borrowed set of wheels and tyres. Indeed, reading between the lines, it may be argued that this car has enjoyed a career in racing that is not fully documented here or understood. A little more research may open a few pleasant surprises or form the basis of an easy rebirth to rallying. Furthermore, it is supplied with FiA papers dated July, 1988 as well as a British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate. The future of this Healey is still to be written and could easily be as interesting as its past. 

Registration : Unregistered Chassis Number : SCEDT26T4BD007199 Engine Number : N/A Odometer reading : 24 miles Estimate : £34,000 - £39,000 When John Z. DeLorean stepped down from his position as the general manager of Chevrolet in 1973, it was widely reported that DeLorean 'had fired General Motors'. Always ambitious and willing to try new things, the talented salesman and engineer was planning to go his own way with a new sports car, one that would be more technically advanced and have superior safety features. He called it 'the ethical sports car-for the bachelor who's made it'. Built in Northern Ireland, under an agreement with the British Government, the DMC-12 was styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro, of Italdesign. It featured distinctive gullwing doors and outer body panels of brushed stainless steel over a rear-engined, Renault-powered chassis and suspension that was largely based upon the Lotus Esprit. Colin Chapman, founder of Lotus, was then brought in to resolve any engineering issues. The first 500 production DeLoreans were ready for shipment in April 1981 and, at first, the model was a smash success, mainly due to its founder's fame and innovative design. Unfortunately, the success cooled quickly and the DeLorean Motor Company filed for bankruptcy in late 1982, after John DeLorean's well-publicised arrest on drug trafficking charges. He was eventually acquitted but it was too late to save his dream. Some 9,200 DeLoreans had been built with approximately 6,500 still in existence worldwide today. Originally supplied to the USA, this unique vehicle is the last DeLorean DMC built in 1981. It is unique in that it only has delivery miles on the clock, a total of 24 miles. It has never been registered or driven on the road. It certificate of origin paper work shows that it was transferred by the DeLorean Motor Company to the DeLorean dealer in Newark, New Jersey USA on June 10th 1982 where it stayed locked away at the dealership until the present owner purchased it in November 2000 and shipped it to the UK where it was again locked away and stored in a warm dry garage for the next 15 years. The car is so unique it still has the factory fitted delivery and EPA stickers attached to the front windscreen. The vehicle comes complete with the original battery, tyres, wheels, owner's manual, tool kit etc. The car has had no modifications except to keep the fluids and oils fresh and the tyres maintained at factory pressures. This DeLorean is supplied with the certificate of origin, the C61 BTI customs form showing the BTI reference number needed for the NOVA certificate and a copy of the shipping invoice. This is an icon of the 1980s and probably the only DMC12 with delivery mileage in the world; a unique opportunity to purchase what can only be describe as motoring art.
