Classic motorcycle racing has benefitted from the activities of firms and individuals who produce components enabling the creation of machines such as the Manx and G50. The G50 offered was built by the vendor for use in the Manx Grand Prix using a Beale frame equipped with Maxton adjustable suspension front and rear. A Fontana front brake is complimented by a drum rear, both laced to lightened rims. The G50 engine is fitted with a NEB crankshaft and fed by a Gardiner carburettor with the ignition being provided by a PAL magneto. A NEB clutch and a magnesium cased Summerfield six speed gearbox are employed. A Krober rev counter and a specially made race fairing are fitted to the machine which is finished in the traditional G50 maroon livery. The paintwork is new and the gearbox has recently been checked by Summerfield. The engine, ignition system, and cycle parts are all described as being "as raced". The motorcycle was raced by Richard Coates and Paul Dobbs in the Manx Grand Prix, both riders achieving 100 mph laps and by Bruno LeRoy in short circuit events and INCA races and the vendor at Goodwood. The frame around which the machine is built has the distinction of being used by Phil Read in his last competitive outing on the Isle of Man.

Harley Davidson introduced their first F head, or inlet over exhaust engine in 1903 and would remain faithful to the concept until 1929 when the last F head twins left the factory to be replaced for the following season by side valve models. Although the company did employ other valve configurations in the period between 1903 and 1929, Harley's success in the first three decades of their existence was largely due to their faith in a valve configuration that had largely been abandoned by European manufacturers during the pioneer period. In part this adherence to what is often regarded as an obsolete valve configuration came about due to the designs suitability when applied to North American roads. Unlike Europe, where (comparatively) high revving medium displacement engines would run at constantly varying revs, the States long straight roads resulted in engines running at constant revs for sustained periods. Harley Davidson sought and attained reliability through capacity, their first 1000cc twin had been placed on the market in 1912, coupled to low revs and easy maintenance with continual development and refinement improving the product year on year. The first of the 60.3 cubic inch J series twins appeared in 1915, offering 60 mph performance and the luxury of electric lights. A comprehensive mechanical redesign occurred for the 1920 and was followed by the adoption of a new frame design for 1925 whilst styling and mechanical refinements appeared with each season launch. Changes to the 1926 and 1927 models were minimal, the most significant being the replacement of the distributor with an ignition system that resulted in both plugs sparking on every revolution for the 1927 season. This delightful example dating from 1927 has formed part of private European collection and has benefitted from a comprehensive restoration that has seen the machine returned to, according to the owner, "as new" condition in every respect.

Introduced for the 1953 season the 175 CS was a significant machine for the factory in being their first volume production four stroke. During the design and development of the single overhead cam engine the MV engineers had pursued performance, a policy that resulted in the sporting variants of the model achieving considerable success in the then popular production bike racing classes. Various specifications were offered from the "basic" Tourismo that introduced the new model to the public at the November 1952 Milan Show to the Disco Volante (Flying Saucer) and Squalo (Shark) competition variants which did so much to elevate the public's perception of MV Agusta as manufacturer of performance machines. The Disco Volante, so named because of the unusual shape of the fuel tank, offered, has resided until recently in Japan. It is equipped with full road equipment and the distinctive "Earles" forks favoured by the competition department at the time. Attractively finished with red paintwork and alloy rims it is described as being in good condition throughout.

Mechanically the Sport 15 was similar to the model that preceded it, using essentially the same 498.4cc single cylinder engine equipped with an overhead exhaust valve and a side mounted inlet valve delivering a claimed 13.2 bhp at 3,800 rpm. A significant change took place in respect of the conrod which became an "I" section unit with the big ends running on needle bearings. Primary drive was via helical gears with drive being transmitted to the rear wheel via a three speed hand change gearbox. The model 15 adopted a saddle tank, the first Guzzi to be so adorned, reflecting changes in motorcycle design then current and would go on to sell nearly 6,000 units, with 5,979 being produced before production ceased in 1939, making it the most numerous pre-war model to be produced by the company. The example offered has, until recently formed part of a museum collection in Japan and is described by the vendor as being in good condition in all respects. It is attractively presented with red and black paintwork, a livery that was offered by the factory although Model 15s were more typically produced finished in amaranth.

Tokyo Hatsudoki Co. Ltd., a company formed in 1939, emerged from the Second World War with the majority of its manufacturing facilities intact but its largest client, the Japanese armed forces, disbanded. Like many of its rivals it turned to motorcycle production concentrating on lightweight two stroke machines. By the early sixties the company accounted for 3% of the indigenous market and sought to expand into overseas markets using competition as a springboard. Their first road racing model was a 50cc followed rapidly by a 125cc twin, however neither model proved to be truly competitive and were followed in 1962 by a twin cylinder 50cc racer and a heavily revised 125cc twin. Success followed for the firm with Dave Simmonds achieving a large degree of success, however, just as the company was set to establish a works team, it was declared bankrupt. Production stopped and the remaining stocks of parts, jigs and tools were sold to the Japan Racing Motorcycles Company. Dave Simmonds continued to campaign the machines with success until 1966 when he switched to Kawasaki and in the same year a small number of 125cc racers were imported by Wallingford dealer Jim Pink selling for £550. Essentially 1964 specification machines they continued to meet with success at National level. The machine offered, a 125cc Twin has a known history from its despatch from the factory in Japan to the present day. It was collected from Tilbury Docks by its first owner, Pete Casey, who subsequently sold it Dennis Ritchins, before it passed to Rod Skivier. Mr Skivier removed the Tohatsu engine and installed a race kitted Yamaha AS1 engine with which he had great success attaining a top ten finish in a John Player racer at Silverstone in the early seventies. The machine was purchased by the present owner from Rod Skivier, still with the Yamaha power plant, racing it for a while before selling it on. Approximately 4 years later the vendor once again acquired the motorcycle and set about sourcing a Tohatsu engine to return the machine to original specification. His search eventually succeeded, with an engine being located, which, when he went to collect it, was informed, had come out of Rod Skivier's Tohatsu, a happy coincidence that saw the machine returned to an unexpected level of originality! The engine was completely rebuilt, with new bearings, seal, connecting rods and pistons being fitted and has only been run for 2 to 3 minutes since being reunited with the cycle parts which are described as being ibn good condition. The vendor reports that the engine has excellent compression and that the only non-original items fitted are the rear shock absorbers.

This interesting machine was built as a single cylinder for the 1968 Grand Prix series when the 50cc class was changed from 2 cylinder to single cylinder and 6 gears. The twin cylinder Tohatsu engine was cut off the gearbox and the gearbox was married to a billet aluminium purpose made single cylinder engine, using Kreidler crankshaft and cylinder and of course rotary valve. It uses a CR110 clutch and the gearbox is of course 6 speed. This machine when built is believed to have been called The Wolesto, after the two people responsible for its construction. It was raced on the Continent with, according to verbal information supplied to the vendor, good results, before being brought to the U.K. by Terry Keen in about 1970/71 who had purchased the machine from Theo Meurs. Terry Keen eventually sold the machine to David Braley who raced the machine with some success, before selling it to Steve Patrickson's father. It was then eventually sold to Greg Laughton and then as these things happen Dave Braley bought it back. He used the machine with the Classic Club and the Classic 50cc Club emulating his earlier success with it. The vendor purchased the machine off Dave Braley and has used it on many occasions. He describes it as being "a fast little machine and the gearbox is absolutely fantastic". The machine is Classic Club registered and is offered with a spare gear cluster and some other parts.

The first Mondial machine to be built by the company was a double overhead cam racer introduced to the world in 1948. The company recognised the value of competition as a way of promoting their products and successfully competed for two seasons before unveiling their first production roadster in 1950. During the mid-fifties the Milan concern began to pay greater attention to domestic racing and in particular long distance road races such as the Milan - Taranto and the Giro d'Italia together with regional races. Although the machinery used was "production" based the motorcycles used benefitted from the factory road racing programme. The 200 Sport offered dates from 1955 and is presented to a very high standard throughout. The pushrod engine is built in unit with the gearbox and housed in a tubular cradle frame equipped with a swinging arm rear suspension and telescopic front forks. A very rare alloy petrol tank crowns the motorcycle which is offered in full "sport" trim equipped with slim mudguards, low handlebars, alloy rims and rear-set footrest. Finished in the traditional Mondial silver livery it was restored by the previous owner and is described as being in good condition throughout.

1938 was marked by one of the most significant events in the history of the British motorcycle industry when Triumph announced the 500cc 5T Speed Twin. The new parallel twin engine was nearly as compact as the singles that provided the staple for British manufacturers at the time, with greater performance potential and increased civility. The advent of the Second World War delayed the release of similar machines from Triumph's rivals but by the start of the fifties all included twins in their range. The Speed Twin was quickly followed by the sporting Tiger T100, a machine that would become a favourite with sporting riders on and off the track. The machine offered dates from 1953 and features a T100 engine housed in a rigid frame that appears to have been built for competition use. It is equipped with a vented front brake and clip-ons and would appear to provide a good basis for a VMCC racer when restored.

The Model 18 was a stalwart of the Norton range having first entered the marques catalogue during the twenties. Arthur Carrol had joined the Norton concern for 1931 following Walter Moore's defection to NSU and undertook the redesign of the side valve and overhead valve singles, essentially establishing the engines form for the next three decades. The 490cc Model 18 retained the traditional Norton engine dimensions of 79 x 100mm but, like the other singles in the range, changed visibly with the magneto moving from in front of the engine with its vintage style, horizontal drive case, to behind the engine together with the dynamo. For 1935 The Model 18 adopted a four speed, foot change gearbox and for the 1936 season the overhead valve models benefitted from new, more substantial pushrod tubes. The example offered appears to be in complete, original condition. Having been stored for a number of years its mechanical condition is unknown.

PLEASE NOTE: This Motorcycle is a Late Entry.   The ERS 350cc and its smaller sibling the CRS 250 were limited production flat track variants of the illustrious Aermacchi horizontal overhead valve single cylinder range. The introduction of the ERS in 1968 provided riders loyal to the Harley Davidson marque with a competitive machine for use on shorter tracks and by association assisted sales of the road going Sprint models. Production continued until 1972 with a total of approximately 500 being built during the four years.The engine was, with the exception of the close ratio, four speed transmission, virtually the same as the Ala d'Oro road racer and was fitted with a Dell'Orto SSI carburettor and a Bendix magneto. The CRS and ERS were both fitted with 35mm Ceriani competition forks as standard. The limited production and the harsh environment in which the model competed resulted in very few examples surviving with original machines being highly sought after today. The example offered is presented in original, unrestored condition.

- Rare 4.2-litre non-overdrive manual specification with Ambla interior - 3 owners and 54,692 recorded miles - Well maintained example with Jaguar Heritage Certificate Further info: According to its Jaguar Heritage Certificate this manual transmission 4.2-litre XJ6 was manufactured on 21 May 1973 and sold by Dorchester Motor Co Ltd to a Dr D W Bradford of Charmouth, Dorset. Originally registered VJT 520L, the car was finished in White with special order Russet Ambla interior, colours it retains to this day. Purchased many years ago from a private Jaguar collection, the car has been cared for by Cambridge Motorsport and latterly by MASS Racing where engine work was undertaken. It is described as having "good" bodywork, "strong" engine with "good" oil pressure, "all working" electrics, "good" transmission and "excellent all original" interior. We are further advised the bodywork and paintwork have been attended to whenever needed and the engine fettled as required. Understood to have enjoyed just 3 owners, this rare specification non-overdrive XJ6 registers 54,692 miles and is offered with Swansea V5, history, and MoT to 20 October 2015.

- Reportedly `restored to a very high standard' and `driving very well' - Maroon deep-button upholstery and larger 1861cc engine - Buff logbook, UK V5C and sundry other paperwork Further Info: Introduced in late 1921, the Austin 12 (later known as the 'Heavy 12/4') became a legend within its own production lifetime. In many ways a scaled-down version of the existing 20/4 model, it was based around a sturdy ladder-frame chassis equipped with drum brakes and all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension. Powered by a 1661cc sidevalve four-cylinder engine, the newcomer could be had with a variety of open or closed body styles. Updated in 1927, the 12 gained a longer-stroke 1861cc powerplant, higher scuttle and wider track. Renowned for its durability and dependability, the Austin has long held a special place in Vintage car circles. The Heavy 12/4 Saloon offered hails from October 1928 and therefore boasts the bigger of the two engines fitted. `TY 4292' is charmingly presented in Maroon over Black and trimmed in matching Maroon upholstery. The vendor informs us that the car has been restored to `a very high standard, and is driving very well'. It is now offered with such period niceties as rear window blinds, and the paperwork includes a buff log book in addition to the V5C.

- Current ownership since 1997 and 128,000 recorded miles - Offered with both hard- and soft-top roofs - Engine, paintwork and interior rated as 'very good' Further Info: This particular right-hand drive R107-Series SL hails from 1985 and is finished in Smoke Silver and trimmed in Brazil Tex. It has remained in the current ownership since 1997 and, though apparently little used in the last five years, has been greatly enjoyed and currently displays an unwarranted 127,854 miles. The vendor primarily purchased the car for continental touring, which it has evidently achieved without problem. Over time the fuel injection system has been thoroughly refurbished with new injectors, the radiator re-cored, the exhaust system overhauled, and aftermarket draught excluders installed. A woodrim steering wheel has been fitted, but the original comes with the car, as do: a factory-fitted hardtop, plus all the original tools, first aid kit etc. The vendor currently views the V8 engine and automatic transmission as `excellent' and the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as `very good' and notes that `B713 KRD' drives `very well' on its Goodyear tyres.

- Originally 1 of just 500 right-hand drive examples built - Re-shelled during the late 1980s using a 3.0 CSA (E9) donor - Factory re-manufactured 3.2 litre M30 engine, laid-up since 1999 Further Info: Conceived as a homologation special, the 3.0 CSL won the European Touring Car Championship in 1973 and every year from 1975 to 1979 inclusive. 1 of only 500 examples built to right-hand drive specification, chassis 2285486 was first road registered by Nottinghamshire County Council on 3rd September 1973 (or so its `WAL 857M' number plate would imply). Showing just four former keepers to its V5C Registration Document, the BMW belonged to the late Mr Robert Johnson of Lytham St Annes from 1988 - 2014. Reportedly re-shelled (using a 3.0 CSA donor) shortly after acquisition, Mr Johnson's custodianship is further understood to have seen `WAL 857M' fitted with a replacement factory remanufactured engine before being laid-up during 1999. Mr John Castle of the BMW CS Register has kindly informed us that such `factory remanufactured' powerplants typically benefited from the following new parts: engine block, crankshaft, v-belt pulley, vibration damper, cylinder head (including camshaft and valve train), rocker cover, timing chain cover, sump, oil pump, water pump and thermostat etc. A 3.2 litre Bosch D-Jetronic fuel-injected M30 unit, the straight-six is said to (a) have been got running last year after fuel was introduced directly into its inlet manifold and (b) have covered a modest post-installation mileage. Sporting an authentic CSL-type three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel, Scheel sports seats, alloy bonnet/boot/doors and Alpina wheels, the Coupe also has the number 04DA4917994 stamped into its offside top strut (intriguingly Alpina later used the same location for build numbers while their UK agents were Sytners of Nottingham). Showing an unwarranted 29,517 miles to its odometer, `WAL 857M' entered the current ownership via our June 2014 Rockingham Castle sale for £14,972. Sadly ill health has prevented the vendor from undertaking the recommissioning / restoration work that this appealing BMW requires. Offered for sale strictly as viewed, it is accompanied by a UK V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.

- Bodied by the Olympia Carriage Works Ltd of Hammersmith - Featured in The Beaulieu Encyclopaedia of the Automobile (Volume 2) - Well known in VCC circles (and dated on 24th August 1957) Further Info: Introduced in 1912, the Vinot 12/14hp was powered by a four-cylinder 1692cc monobloc engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. The former featured pressure lubrication; while the latter employed a vertical change mechanism (3rd and 4th being sited under 1st and 2nd within its cylindrical casing). One of just two cars known to have been bodied by the Olympia Carriage Works Ltd of Hammersmith - the other being a Bentley 3 Litre - chassis 16090 was first registered as `BL 4181' on 6th April 1915. Supplied new to Edward Freeman of Wellington College, the Tourer subsequently passed to Arthur Curtis of Middlesex (December 1916) and Arthur Short of Nottingham (March 1919). Reputedly belonging to the Skelmesdale Shoe and Slipper Co by c.1940, the Vinot was sold to Douglas Dixon of St Helens during 1956 and only entered the current family ownership upon his death some forty-four years later. Writing to Motor Sport magazine in June 1976, Mr Dixon recalled that he had (a) found the 12/14hp `in complete and original condition, only in need of a repaint', (b) `done many thousands of miles both on rallies and long runs for my own pleasure' and (c) placed 3rd-in-class during the VCC's 1960 Prescott meeting. Well known in Veteran Car Club circles since it was issued with Certificate of Dating No. 657 on 24th August 1957, `BL 4181' has also graced the pages of Veteran & Vintage magazine (June 1964) and The Beaulieu Encyclopaedia of the Automobile (Volume 2, edited by Nick Georgano). Treated to sundry rewiring in 2000 and refurbished wire wheels / fresh tyres in 2003, the Tourer underwent a thorough engine overhaul in 2005 (circa 800 miles ago). Upgraded with a dynamo, electric fan and modern starter motor, this delightfully patinated Vinot burst eagerly into life upon a recent inspection. Offered for sale with history file including old MOT certificates dating back to 1961, assorted marque information and numerous invoices.

PLEASE NOTE: The vendor is currently unable to locate the ignition key.   Cheap speed indeed' - Light Car and Cyclecar - Restored in the early 1990s including construction of a new body - Well cared for with regular maintenance and servicing - Invoices for restoration work, described as an "amazing car to drive" Further info: The M-type was the first of the Midgets and enjoyed considerable sporting success, both privately and with official teams, winning gold medals in the 1929 Land's End Trial. They were awarded the Team Prize and class wins in the 1930 24hr "Double Twelve" race at Brooklands. Forming part of a small private collection for the past 20 years, this attractive M-Type was the subject of a restoration in the early 1990s. Invoices on file attest to the fact that this included construction of a new body and we understand a replacement engine has also been sourced at some point. The car appears to have been well cared for ever since and we are informed it has been regularly maintained and serviced. Finished in green fabric with black bonnet and green leather interior, it has seen minimal use since completion and minor jobs still required include the sourcing and fitting of a choke cable and hood. Offered with Swansea V5 document and invoices for the restoration work it is described as being an "amazing car to drive".

- Extremely rare, possibly unique, 6-seater with Surrey top - High compression cylinder head and pistons, 12v electrics - Rocky Mountain brakes and Warford auxiliary transmission Further info: An extremely rare, possibly unique, 6-seater with Surrey top, this T is said to have originally been owned by a cotton plantation owner. Finished in black with red diamond-stitched vinyl trim, the original owner traded the car in for a Model A in the late 1920s and it remained with the dealer until 2000. Imported to the UK from Missouri c.2000, it was subsequently painstakingly restored and improved upon by the vendor. He has made it as driveable as possible with an enviable specification including high compression alloy cylinder head, high compression pistons, 12v electrics, coil, distributor, alternator, water pump, Rocky Mountain brakes and Warford auxiliary transmission. A veteran of two London to Brighton Commercial runs, he now describes the bodywork, paint, engine, transmission and trim as all being in "good" condition. Starting readily upon inspection, it is offered with Swansea V5 document and is MoT exempt.

- c. 27,000 miles from new with 17 service stamps from Aston Martin dealers - Detailed history file including original bill of sale - Space saver spare and unused tool kit Furhter info: First registered on 16 December 1999, this right-hand drive automatic transmission V12 DB7 has covered just 27,163 miles at the time of cataloguing. The mileage is evidenced by the detailed service record which bears no less than 17 stamps from Aston Martin dealers. The last being carried out by Chiltern Aston Centre on 10 April 2014 at 25,924 miles. Finished attractively in Antrim Blue with Parchment and Pacific leather interior complimented by blue carpets and blue hood, the car is accompanied by a detailed history folder which includes the original delivery note and bill of sale from Stratstone Mayfair in the sum of £109,336, together with invoices from marque experts such as Nicholas Mee & Co and Chiltern Aston Centre. There are also a number of old MoT certificates and tax discs. In the current ownership since 2011, it has been used sparingly and always maintained to a good standard. Described as having "good" bodywork, engine, paintwork, transmission and interior, R20 AMV benefits from a space saver spare wheel, unused fitted tool kit and is offered with Swansea V5, Owner's Guide and aforementioned history file. It is expected to possess a fresh MoT by the time of sale.

- Reputedly delivered new to Italy, shows 29,900 unwarranted kms - 1 of 7,738 S800 coupes produced between 1965 and 1970 - Highly advanced and jewel-like 791cc DOHC four-cylinder engine Further Info: This delightfully-presented left-hand drive, late series Honda S800 Coupe features White bodywork contrasted by Black interior trim. It is believed to have been delivered new to Italy and currently displays just 29,900 unwarranted kilometres. The vendor considers the 70bhp straight-four engine, four-speed manual gearbox, three-door bodywork, paintwork and interior trim to all be in `good' order. It is therefore a seemingly tidy example of a true automotive icon. The S800 was a direct development of the S600, Honda's first mass market car, that show-cased technology evolved from its Grand Prix-winning motorcycles. The all-aluminium, DOHC, 606cc, four-cylinder engine featured one Keihin carburettor per cylinder and revved to an (at the time) astonishing 8,500 rpm giving over 80bhp/ton. By the 1965 Tokyo Motorshow, the S600 had been supplanted by the bigger capacity (791cc) S800, just 11,536 examples of which were produced between then and 1970; 7,738 of which were Coupes like the sale car.

- Conversion from left-hand drive Fixed Head Coupe - Engine overhauled, hood replaced, recent front brake discs and calipers - c.900 miles since completion Further info: Introduced in May 1957, the XK150 was the last Jaguar sports car to utilise a separate chassis. Initially powered by a 3442cc derivative of Jaguar's Le Mans-proven DOHC straight-six engine, the XK150 could be specified with an enlarged 3781cc unit from late 1959 onwards. At launch, the XK150 was offered in Fixed Head Coupe and Drophead Coupe guises, the Roadster option following in 1958. By the time the model was superseded by the E-Type in 1961, some 4,445 Fixed Head Coupes, 2,672 Drophead Coupes and 2,265 Roadsters are thought to have been produced. Upon purchase of this right hand drive manual transmission 3.4-litre drophead coupe conversion in 2013, the vendor was informed it had been created by a father and son team (based on lefthand drive Fixed Head Coupe chassis number S836774DN) over a period of five years between 2000 and 2005. Whilst no invoices exist for their labours, he advises the work was carried out to a high standard and included a comprehensive engine overhaul, retrimming of the interior in Parchment leather, a new hood and lining being sourced together with the fitment of new MWS chrome wire wheels. Following completion of the car's transformation we understand the DVLA issued the vehicle with a new chassis number which is recorded on the V5. This document appears to show the engine number incorrectly as V 7298-8 since the cylinder head is stamped V 4298-8. Having spent a number of subsequent years in storage it is believed just 900 miles have been covered since completion as evidenced by the odometer reading. More recent works include the fitting of new front discs and brake callipers earlier this year. Perfect for the approaching summer, the car is offered with a Swansea V5 document and current MoT expiring on 12 January 2016.

- Sole-surviving ex-police car - Restored with 18hp unleaded engine - Appearances in a number of films and TV programmes Further info: One of just a handful of original tourers produced for police use, most of which Sir Winston Churchill used as transport and platforms for public speaking, CCE 858 is understood to be the only surviving example. Whilst many photographs exist of him with these cars, none have yet come to light which include this car's registration, however, it is extremely likely that CCE 858 would have played a role in transporting him at some point. Understood to have formerly been the property of John Brindley, lifetime Vice President of the Wolseley Register, the car was added to the vendor's collection in 2008. Following its purchase, he began a two year restoration (completed in 2010) which included the fitment of an 18hp engine to improve performance and the car is now badged as an 18hp. The head was also converted to unleaded fuel, the interior retrimmed and the black hood remade. Larger headlamps have been fitted to improve the car's looks and a police bell adorns the front bumper, whilst a 10/48 rear axle is fitted to allow comfortable cruising. In the current ownership it has appeared in a number of films and television programmes including Poirot and Bletchley Park. Starting readily upon inspection, the vendor now describes the bodywork, engine, black paintwork and brown leather interior as "very good". Offered with Swansea V5 and continuation buff logbook, this believed-unique ex-police Wolseley, although exempt, has a current MoT expiring 18 March 2016.

- Replacement head lining and carpeting and four-speed synchromesh gearbox - Just 2 registered former keepers since 1989 - A useable Austin that is sure to bring a smile to its new owner Further info: Previously resident in Northern Ireland, this charming RN saloon has been in the current ownership for the past two years. Whilst in the vendor's care it has benefited from a replacement head lining and carpeting, the fitment of a four-speed synchromesh gearbox, cleaning of the fuel system and the subtle addition of indicators. Finished in maroon with black wings and black interior, the bodywork and engine are said to be "good" whilst the electrics are "all working", the paintwork has minor areas of microblistering in places but overall the car presents well and started readily upon inspection. According to the accompanying photocopy of a continuation logbook it was first registered on 15 June 1932, the current Swansea V5 recording just 2 registered former keepers since 1989. Only now offered for sale due to the owner rationalising his collection, this useable Austin is sure to bring a smile to its new owner.

- Formerly the property of well-known Rover enthusiast Bernard Gee - Six-cylinder engine of 2147cc giving a maximum speed of 75mph - Rewired, headlining replaced, clutch reconditioned, working sunroof, towbar, luggage Further info: The former property of well-known Rover enthusiast Bernard Gee for many years, this P2 Sports Saloon is attractively finished in maroon with black wings complimented by a maroon leather interior. Powered by a six-cylinder engine of 2147cc giving a maximum speed of 75mph, it has been in the current ownership since 2012 during which time it has benefited from being rewired, replacement of the headlining and reconditioning of the clutch. Features include a working sunroof, towbar, luggage to the boot and a set of tools in the tool drawer. Described as having "very good" bodywork and paintwork with "good" engine and "very good" interior, this imposing Rover is accompanied by a history file containing photographs of a past restoration, two old-style continuation logbooks, Swansea V5, assorted invoices and a collection of MoTs dating from 1972 to 2014.

- Restored to a high standard in 2012 - BMIHT Certificate - Surrey Top, down draft Webers, electronic ignition and stainless steel exhaust Further info: Only built between 1967 and 1968, it is believed just 600 TR250s have survived out of a total production run of 8,480 examples. Powered by Triumph's lusty 2.5-litre straight six engine, albeit in a slightly detuned state to satisfy America's growing emission laws, the model shared much mechanically with the TR5. According to its BMIHT certificate this example was despatched on 16 February 1968 to dealers Genser & Forman Inc. of New York aboard the vessel 'Milora'. In 2008 the car was exported to Japan where it completed in many classic events. The subject of a quality restoration around 2012, it returned to the UK in 2014. Fitted with a desirable Surrey Top, down draft Weber carburettors, stainless steel exhaust and electronic ignition it is said to drive 'superbly' and sound 'even better'! Finished in its original hue of Royal Blue with black interior, it is offered with Swansea V5 and MoT to January 2016.

- One of only 2 surviving close-coupled Weymann Saloons - Owned by a long-term member and ex-director of the Lagonda Club - Maintained to a high standard, boasting a number of unusual features Further info: Confirmed by Lagonda Club records, this delightful close-coupled Weymann Saloon is one of only two examples known to have survived. The accompanying original RF60 logbook records it registered on 12 June 1929 to Lagonda Distributors (Lon) Ltd, before passing to its first owner Tom Dearbergh of Bury St Edmunds. Owned by Roger Firth in the mid-1980s, the vendor, a long-standing member and ex-director of the Lagonda Club and VSCC member, added UU 7571 to his collection of Lagondas in 2006. It has been used extensively around the UK and Scotland including trips as far afield as the Orkneys and Shetlands. With an engineering background, he has maintained the car to a high standard, recent work including repainting of the wings in February 2013. Described as having "very good" bodywork "excellent" paintwork and interior trim, a previous Concours winner, UU 7571 boasts some interesting features. These include the ingenious fold-away rear seats, Barker mechanical dipping headlamp system, heater and period dipping rear view mirror. Understood to have a 'strong' engine with 40psi oil pressure, the specification includes revised cam timing, BTH magneto, twin SU carbs, KI-Gass, Autovac, a modern oil filter, quiet OH close ratio gearbox, 21" wheels, excellent Dunlop 5.00/5.25 tyres, ribbed front brake drums and stainless exhaust. Retaining its original registration mark, the car is accompanied by a good history file which includes a Swansea V5c document, invoices dating back to 1960, instruction book, copy period articles, correspondence, wiring diagrams, two RF60 logbooks and MoT certificates issued between 1979 and 2013. There is even a copy of The Times dated 12 June 1929 - the exact day of the car's first registration. A wonderful, extremely rare Vintage Lagonda offering comfortable and capable touring with vital protection from the British weather!

- The best 964-series Turbo that we have offered thus far - Development engineer owned since 2003 and 86,700km recorded - Sympathetic but reversible upgrades by Ninemeister and RUF Further Info: Notable as the last of the rear-wheel drive, forced induction, air-cooled 911s (aside from the homologation special 993-series GT2), the 964-series Turbo is now beginning to receive the market attention it deserves. Introduced at the March 1990 Geneva Motor Show, a mere 3,660 Turbo II 3.3 litre cars are understood to have been made. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds and 168mph `out of the box', the model has proven amenable to significant tuning. Supplied new to Germany, this particular example is the best 964-series Turbo II 3.3 litre that we have thus far had the pleasure of offering for sale. Thought to have had just a single keeper prior to being imported to the UK during 1997, it has been in the current (second UK) ownership for the past twelve years. A development engineer whose CV includes stints at Cosworth, Roush, Ilmor and Shell, the vendor specifically chose a left-hand drive car on the basis that that is how Porsche had originally laid out the 964. Despite being a `hands on' enthusiast, he has done very little work to `J880 SWL' himself instead entrusting it to Warrington-based marque specialist Ninemeister on an annual basis (its last service being carried out on 23rd September 2014). The same company were responsible for reworking the Porsche's original engine so that it produced some 438hp and 582Nm during a May 2007 dyno test. Impressively, this sizeable jump in power and torque has been achieved (a) without an increase in turbo boost (which remains at the standard 0.7 bar) and (b) whilst making the flat-six less laggy and more tractable. Boasting a high-flow intake system, sports catalyst with standard rear silencer, RS single mass flywhweel and clutch plus stainless steel equal length exhaust manifolds, the 3.3 litre powerplant has its outputs metered via a five-speed G50 manual gearbox and special carbonetic LSD. Uprated KW suspension gives an extra measure of control, while a personal meeting between the seller and Alois Ruf led to the Porsche gaining RUF number plate surrounds, RUF exhaust tips and RUF 18-inch alloy wheels shod with Continental N2 tyres (as per Mr Ruf's recommendation). Kept in a dehumidified, insulated garage the Porsche shows no signs of bodywork corrosion and is believed to be still wearing its factory Polar Silver paintwork. The front seats feature 12-way electrical adjustment (a desirable option) and are trimmed in Black leather as are the door cards, dashboard, roof lining, sun visors and instrument surrounds. A Porsche non-airbag steering wheel has been installed together with a more modern Blaupunkt stereo (CD changer / DAB / SD card reader / iPod dock) and discreetly integrated Genesis Profile 5 amplifier. The ABS-backed four-wheeled vented disc brakes are standard and the air-conditioning is in full working order. The odometer currently shows some 86,695km (53,847 miles) which is deemed to represent the total covered from new. The vendor has pleasingly kept almost all the original parts so that `J880 SWL' can be returned to factory specification should a new owner so wish (the only exception being the initial wheels and tyres). Worthy of close inspection, this pampered 911 Turbo II 3.3 litre is offered for sale with extensive history file, book pack, original tool wrap, tyre compressor, correct Porsche tyre pressure gauge and first aid kit.

- Three keepers from new and showing 17,171 unwarranted miles - Rare and desirable `Big Valve' 130 engine and 5-speed gearbox - In need of TLC but basically complete and running Further Info: `RRO 780M' is an apparently `time warp' example of the timeless-looking Ron Hickman-designed Elan +2, that's finished in the eye-catching combination of Regency Red bodywork and Oatmeal-coloured interior trim. It has had just three keepers from new, the second of which evidently cherished the Lotus for over 30 years. First registered in August 1973, the sale car is among the last of the breed - the sought-after +2S 130/5 model that benefits from the 130bhp `Big Valve' version of Cosworth's ubiquitous 1558cc twin-cam power unit, coupled to a five- rather than four-speed manual gearbox. Currently seeking a degree of TLC, the Elan is described by the vendor as having an `original but apparently good chassis', `fair to good' bodywork and interior trim, `very poor' paintwork and a correct-type but replacement engine that `runs with good oil pressure'. The odometer currently stands at an unwarranted 17,171 miles. A rare and exciting opportunity for Lotus enthusiasts everywhere.

- 1 of just 52 or so Nine Gamecocks known to have survived - Treated to over £8,800 worth of fettling during the past 12 months - Proven VSCC Trials competitor Further Info: Introduced in 1932, the Riley 9 Gamecock featured the marque's latest Plus Ultra underslung chassis and jewel-like 1089cc four-cylinder engine. Fed by twin SU carburettors, the latter was allied to four-speed manual transmission and promised a 70mph plus top speed. Sporting a lightweight aluminium body, large diameter drum brakes, all-round semi-elliptic leaf-springs and Duplex Andre adjustable shock absorbers, the model retains good road manners to this day. Undeniably handsome, the Gamecock was summed-up by Motor Sport as `a neat and handy vehicle which combined a lively performance with freedom from constant tuning'. No stranger to competition, a three-strong Works team won a prestigious Coupe des Alpes (up to 1100cc class) on the 1932 International Alpine Rally. Only in production for two years, just fifty-two or so 9 Gamecocks are known to have survived. Treated to a new ash frame, replacement crown wheel and pinion and overhauled engine (including carburettors) when restored by its previous keeper for VSCC Trials use, chassis 6016790 has enjoyed further development since entering the current ownership last year. As well as a hotter engine (though, the original powerplant accompanies it), work saw the Riley benefit from a wiring check, ride height increase, raised fuel tank, brake system refurbishment and replacement / relocated rear lights plus the fitment of a battery isolator switch, fire extinguisher and side exhaust. Successfully completing four of the VSCC's challenging Winter Trials thereafter, chassis 6016790 is only coming back onto the market due to health reasons. Classified by the VSCC as Standard (as opposed to Modified or Special) and listed in `Sporting Rileys' by D.G. Styles, this appealing Gamecock is offered for sale with a tonneau cover, indoor dust sheet, current MOT certificate, its original London registration number `YY 747', sundry spare parts and invoices documenting the last 12 months' expenditure which total over £8,800.

- Recent bare metal, 'rotisserie' bodywork restoration - Mechanical checkover and fettling by marque specialist - UK supplied car with hard-/soft-top roofs, auto, pas etc Further Info: Last of the iconic W113 line, the 280SL was launched in 1968. Blessed with the same effortlessly elegant Paul Bracq styling as its earlier siblings, it was powered by a new seven-bearing crankshaft 2781cc straight-six engine that developed some 180bhp and 193lbft of torque. Equipped with all round independent suspension and ATE disc brakes, its 'square' track (some eight inches wider than the contemporary Jaguar E-type) gave notably sure-footed handling. Able to blur the divide between city streets and open roads with ease, the majority of 280SLs were specified with four-speed automatic gearboxes and power assisted steering. First registered by Glamorganshire County Council on 7th November 1969, `XNY 500H' is believed to have covered some 89,000 miles from new (a figure at least partially substantiated via numerous old MOTs and invoices dating back to the early 1980s). Recently refinished in its original `571 H' Metallic Red hue following an extensive `bare metal' bodywork restoration carried out by Finesse Auto Bodies of Stockport, the 280SL is also understood to have had attention paid to its Black MB Tex upholstery, chromework, woodwork and carpets. Entrusted to marque specialist Nick Webster, the two-seater was reportedly treated to a thorough service, new exhaust, brake system overhaul, fresh tyres, replacement shock absorbers and new engine / gearbox mounts etc. Further benefiting from a fresh soft-top / frame and period-looking Becker Mexico stereo (but with integral sat-nav and CD player etc), the 280SL is said to `drive very well' and to `easily keep up with modern traffic'. Sporting sundry polished engine components, `XNY 500H' is described by the vendor as being in `very good overall' condition. Indeed, he feels that it would not disgrace a new owner at a classic car show. Well specified with hard- / soft-top roofs, power steering and four-speed automatic transmission, this smart UK market 280SL is offered for sale with history file, restoration photos and MOT certificate valid until January 2016.

- Older restoration (c. late 1980s) and still notably tidy - Involved in numerous shows by its last owner of 15 years - Said to possess `a particularly sweet engine and gearbox' Further Info: A notably tidy example of an enduringly popular British classic, `OSU 337' is believed to have been the subject of a thorough restoration in the late 1980s. Though not of concours standard, the Maroon paintwork has stood the test of time very well and the MG was apparently involved in numerous shows by its last owner, who retained the Magnette for no less than 15 years. The matching Maroon interior has recently been treated to new front seat coverings and carpets, and the vendor informs us that the car `behaves impeccably on the road' and possesses `a particularly sweet engine and gearbox'. Reviving a name from the company's past, MG introduced the Magnette ZA at the London Motor Show of 1954. Though somewhat Italianate in style, the car was in fact penned by Englishman Gerald Palmer, who had previously made his name with the characterful Jowett Javelin. Power came from the then new 1.5-litre BMC B-Series engine.

- Extensive `body off, nut and bolt' restoration circa 8 years ago - A former show winner and `credit to its restorer' - Offered for sale with original registration number and history file Further Info: This delightful-looking `Flat Nose' Cowley Saloon is a 1930 example that's finished in the pleasing combination of Black four-door bodywork and Maroon interior trim. A previous show winner, it was apparently treated to an extensive `body off nut and bolt' restoration about eight years ago with, according to the car's history file, some £5,000 being spent on the interior refurbishment alone. In the vendor's words, `the black paintwork is of a similar calibre and the overall condition of this vintage Morris is a credit to the restorer'. The Cowley has covered just 1,364 miles since returning to the road and now seeks a new home. It is being offered complete with the aforementioned file and its original registration number, `MU 2544'. The move from Morris's distinctive `Bullnose' to the more conventional `Flatnose' radiator occurred in September 1926. The engine remained unchanged however, and was a 1548cc four-cylinder Hotchkiss-type unit manufactured in house by Morris Motors.

- Thought to be 1 of just 50 known survivors worldwide - A former award winner and uprated with 1.5-litre engine - Recent re-trim and ownership trace / history back to 1952 Further Info: The A40 Sports made its debut at the 1949 Earl's Court Motor Show. An aluminium-bodied convertible variant of the A40 Saloon, it was designed and manufactured in partnership with Jensen Motors. Some 4,011 had been produced by the time production ceased in 1953. `MUV 691' is thought to be one of only 50 Austin A40 Sports models remaining worldwide. A former award winner, it was restored between 1976 and 1980 and is now tidily presented with Metallic Grey bodywork matched to Red-piped Grey interior trim. The vendor informs us that a 1500cc engine has recently supplanted the original 1200cc unit, making the drop-top Austin `more driver-friendly'. It has also recently benefited from a new clutch, exhaust and re-trim. The Austin is now offered complete with an extensive file containing numerous copy invoices, photographs and old MOTs; plus a list of all owners dating back to 1952, many of which are confirmed by the original log books.

- Owned since 2004 and just 4 former keepers - New hood and liner fitted in 2014 - c.64,600 miles with MoT to March 2016 Further info: Launched in September 1975, the XJ-S was designed by Malcolm Sayer with input from Sir William Lyons. Effectively a replacement for the legendary E-Type, it was nevertheless a luxurious, high-speed Grand Tourer rather than a race-bred Sports Car, and powered by a fuel-injected version of Jaguar's silky 5.3-litre V12 unit mated to either manual or automatic transmission. First registered on 5th May 1989, this 5.3-litre convertible has been in the current ownership since 2004 and registers just four former keepers on the accompanying Swansea V5 document. Finished in black with Magnolia leather, it is described as being in "good" condition regarding its bodywork, engine, paintwork, automatic transmission and interior, whilst there is some lifting of the veneer on the interior woodwork. In 2012 the car was fitted with new rear brake discs and pads with a new hood and liner together with a battery being fitted in 2014. Registering some 64,600 miles on its odometer, it is offered with a Swansea V5 and a current MoT expiring 3rd March 2016.

- In current ownership since 1977 and MOT'd until December 2015 - Uprated with 1600 engine/gearbox by Scheldt and Pettit - Engine overhaul c.2002 by Fulvia expert Peter Gerrish Further Info: Manufactured in 1972 and imported to the UK the following year, `PPK 198L' is thought to be one of only 10 right-hand drive Zagato Sport 1600s left in existence. It commenced life as a 1300cc example, but benefits from having had a 1600cc engine and transmission installed by marque specialists Scheldt and Pettit in the early 1980s. That same engine has only recently been run-in following extensive refurbishment by Lancia Club President Peter Gerrish, including a new cylinder head. The braking system has also been thoroughly overhauled this year using callipers refurbished by Past Parts. This rare Fulvia is finished in the pretty Lancia Thema colour Petrol Blue and trimmed in Tan leather. The vendor says the car is `pretty desirable mechanically and, with a bit of expenditure on the bodywork, could be one of the very best'. It is now offered complete with numerous invoices and MOT certificates from 1978 to now. A number of spares are available by separate negotiation.

- Delightful example of a rare Special Coupe - Restored by an ex-Bristol Aircraft Company engineer - Hydraulic brakes, 12v electrics and sunshine roof Further info: Introduced for the 1933 season, the Morris 10/4 was an immediate success for the company, capitalising on the emerging interest in 10hp vehicles. Its further appeal to cost-conscious motorists of the 1950s extended its impact on the motoring scene long after many of its rivals had since disappeared. The four-cylinder 1292cc side-valve engine developed some 28bhp allowing top speeds to approach 60mph. This delightful example of the rarer Special Coupe variant has been the subject of much restoration work over a twenty year period up to 2005 by an ex-Bristol Aircraft Company engineer. The accompanying history file contains invoices and photographs of the work in progress - the car's appearance today being testament to the care and attention involved. Finished in green and black with retrimmed green leather interior, features include hydraulic brakes, 12v electrics and a sunshine roof. First registered on 27 March 1934, a note in the accompanying history file records just 6 known keepers to date. Offered with Swansea V5, it is expected to possess a fresh MoT for the sale.

- Based on a shortened Silver Eagle SF/SG-type 'double dropped' chassis - Speed 25SB 3.5 litre straight-six allied to 4-speed all-synchromesh gearbox - FIVA ID card and veteran of numerous rallies and trials Further Info: Created by its previous keeper, Mr James McNally of Oswesty, during the early 2000s, this handsome Alvis Special comprises a shortened Silver Eagle SF/SG-type `double dropped' chassis (complete with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes), Speed 25SB 3.5 litre straight-six engine, four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox and 19-inch `jelly mould' wire wheels. Finished in Dark Green with Black leather upholstery, its handsome Vanden Plas-esque two-seater body plays host to a rear-mounted fuel tank, wooden dashboard, 12volt power socket and full length hood (but no sidescreens). Further developed since entering the current ownership in 2005, the past decade has seen `FRY 863' treated to an engine overhaul (new white metal bearings, pistons, gaskets etc), replacement wiring and taller rear axle ratio. Converted from centre to outside throttle, the Alvis also sports a remote oil filter, electric cooling fan, alternator, side-exit exhaust and halogen headlights all of which make it better suited to tour and rally usage. A veteran of numerous CRA Winter Trials, `FRY 863' has, among others, also contested: HERO's 2008 Celtic Malts, Denis Greenslade's 2010 Cape-to-Cape Grand Tour (Cape Cornwall to Cape Finisterre) and ERA's 2014 1st Alpine Trial (finishing 5th-in-class). Although its accompanying V5C gives a date of first registration as 12th January 1949, the Alvis is self-evidently constructed from pre-WW2 components and when inspected by FIVA during 2011 was classified as E/3 and dated to 1935. The same document lists a kerb weight of 1160kg which in conjunction with the Special's torquey 3.5 litre engine explains why the vendor says it simply romps up mountain passes. Maintained with assistance from the Alvis Owners' Club's archivist, `FRY 863' started readily upon inspection and is only being offered for sale because the vendor wishes to downsize his collection. A tempting proposition, this seemingly rapid and well-sorted Alvis Special comes with the aforementioned FIVA ID card, UK V5C Registration Document and sundry other papers.

- 1 of 77 made with a mere 12 known to have survived - Well-known in Singer circles and treated to an extensive restoration - A former multiple concours winner with current ownership for c.34 years Further info: During the early to mid 1930s the rivalry between Singer and MG was notably intense with both marques distinguishing themselves at Le Mans and on countless trials held over the length and breadth of Britain. Aimed at the expanding six-cylinder sportscar market, the Singer 1.5 Litre Sports Tourer was introduced in 1933. Discernibly larger than its MG K1 equivalent, the newcomer was styled in-house by Eric Neale. With its prominent radiator grille, cut-away doors, full-flowing wings and sloping tail, the Singer bore quite some resemblance to Lagonda's contemporaneous M45. Based on a lowered version of its Fourteen sibling's ladder-frame chassis featuring all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel Lockheed hydraulic 13-inch drum brakes, the 1.5 Litre Sports was powered by a 1493cc OHC six-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. A spritely yet well-mannered car, it rode on 18-inch Rudge knock-off wire wheels and was capable of cruising at 60-70mph. Priced at £295 but only available during 1933 and 1934, just 77 1.5 Litre Sports Four-Seater Tourers were made of which a mere 12 are known to have survived. First registered in Glasgow on 23rd March 1934, chassis R2014 was purchased by the vendor, Geoff Gibson, from Paradise Garage some forty-five years later. Well-known in Singer circles, Mr Gibson subsequently treated the 1.5 Litre Sports to an extensive restoration. A former multiple concours award winner at shows around the country, `US 5285' has since developed a beautiful patina. Pleasingly understood to be a `matching numbers' car, the four-seater is described by the vendor as being in "very good overall" condition with regard to its engine, gearbox ,electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. Offered for sale for the first time in thirty-four years, this rare Singer is worthy of close inspection.

- Home market car that began life in Birmingham - Stalled restoration project and stored for the past 20 years - 1 of just 1,801 MG A Twin-Cam Roadsters made Further Info: BMC began evolving a DOHC version of its B-Series engine in 1954, but it was 1958 before the Twin-Cam MGA came to market. With 108bhp on tap, it was capable of 0-60mph in 9.1 seconds and a top speed of 115mph. 1,801 Roadsters were made before production ceased in 1960. This particular example - chassis YD1/1659 - rolled off the Abingdon production line on March 24th 1959 prior to being road registered as `XOP 350' by Birmingham County Council. At that time it was apparently finished in Orient Red matched to Black interior trim, and came equipped with a factory-fitted close-ratio gearbox and competition seats and windscreen. Restoration of the MG was started many moons ago, as can be seen from the now Dark Blue body, but ceased in mid-task, and the Twin-Cam has remained in storage for the last 20 years. He or she who takes on the challenge of completing the project will be rewarded with a rare and desirable motorcar. There is no reserve on this lot which comes with a correct-type but replacement `twin cam' engine. Offered for sale strictly as seen.

- Home market car and entered from a private collection - Extensively restored from 1977-1985, current owner since 2001 - Domiciled in Essex but rallied as far afield as North Wales Further Info: Based on the MG TD MKII, the TF was an interim model pending the arrival of the all new MGA. Fared-in headlights and a sloping radiator grille ensured more modern looks. Some 9,600 TFs were produced between 1953 and 1955 and are increasingly sought-after today. The vendor of this particular example - `UAS 122' - informs us it has been regularly serviced throughout his 14-year tenure and never let him down. Until recently, when other cars in his collection have taken precedence, it was used both around the Essex countryside and for rallies as far afield as North Wales. The car was evidently treated to an extensive restoration between 1977 and 1985 and is now considered by the seller to have `very good' bodywork and paintwork, `good' 1250cc XPAG engine and Black interior trim, `fair' gearbox (we gather the synchromesh is now weak on second gear) and he feels `is a car to be driven anywhere'.

- 1 of 541 '87 2CV6 Specials known to the DVLA - Extensively restored circa five years ago - Check cloth upholstery and MOT'd until February 2016 Further Info: Citroen's ever-charming Deux Chevaux was intended to motorise the large number of French farmers still relying on horses and carts, and a famous part of the design brief was to be able to traverse eggs across a ploughed field without breaking them. No less than 3.8 million examples were produced via 11 factories across the world (including one in Slough, England) between 1948 and 1990, by when the ageing design had been defeated by contemporary legislation. The Red right-hand drive example on offer was manufactured in 1987 and has come from a deceased estate. It is understood to have been extensively restored five years ago and is currently described by the vendor as having `very good' bodywork, paintwork and check cloth interior trim, and `good' twin-cylinder air-cooled engine and four-speed manual gearbox. Its odometer displays an unwarranted 80,840 miles and the Citroen comes complete with MOT valid until February 24th 2016.

- Full Porsche Main Dealer or Marque Specialist Service History - 3596cc engine (manufacturer claimed 315bhp/273lbft), Tiptronic gearbox, 4WD - Condition belies 125,000 recorded miles, Savannah Beige upholstery Further info: `RV52 X5N' is a handsome-looking right-hand drive 996 model Carrera 4 that vacated the company's Stuttgart factory in 2002. Its Blue bodywork is complemented by Savannah Beige hide upholstery. Early 996s had a 3.4-litre engine but, being a second generation example, this one benefits from the bigger 3.6-litre unit, which boasted an output of 315bhp and 273 lb ft of torque. The car's comprehensive specification includes: PSM (Porsche Stability Management); Tiptronic transmission with steering wheel mounted controls; automatic speed control; rear window wiper; electrically adjustable, heated front seats; leather trimmed rear seats; top tinted windscreen; air conditioning; and CD stereo system. The vendor currently classifies the Carrera as having `excellent' bodywork and paintwork and `good' flat-six engine and tiptronic gearbox, and feels that `the Porsche's overall condition belies the present odometer reading of 125,164 miles'. He is now offering the car complete with `full service history' that's part main dealer and part marque specialist.

- 3 previous keepers and 106,557 recorded miles - Offered with large history file containing old invoices and MOTs - Described as mechanically 'very good' with unleaded head Further info: 'PJL 834R' is a righthand drive MKIV Midget that was first registered in April 1977, and its Black bodywork is teamed with Tan-coloured velour interior trim. The vendor informs us that the car has benefited from a degree of restoration to the body and that the engine has been equipped with an unleaded cylinder head. The MG has had four keepers to date and currently displays an unwarranted 106,557 miles. The vendor describes the Midget as being 'very good mechanically' and is now selling it complete with a substantial history file packed with invoices and old MOTs. The MKIV was the final iteration of the mighty Midget, and delivered deformable federal bumpers allied to an increased ride height and a new engine and gearbox - the 1,493cc and four-speed manual units from the Triumph Spitfire. With 66bhp on tap, the venerable little two-seater was now capable of a genuine 100mph flat out.

- Original right-hand drive car displaying 89,558 miles - Restored in the 1990s, owned since 2004 - Recently the bodywork and outside finish have been brought up to high standard Further info: Jaguar increased the E-Type's engine capacity to 4.2-litres in October 1964 and, with the change, came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and electrical systems, and more comfortable seats. The suspension was independent all round with wishbones and torsion bars at the front and wishbones, radius arms and twin coil springs at the rear. Braking was by servo-assisted Dunlop discs all round; inboard at the rear. The steering was a rack and pinion system by Alford and Alder. Though the 4.2-litre engine had more torque than its predecessor, an increase in both gearing and bodyweight meant the performance of these later S1 cars was very similar to the 3.8-litre versions. Production figures vary slightly depending on the source, but approximately 7,770 4.2-litre Fixed Head Coupes were built between 1964 and 1968, only some 1,957 of which were right-hand drive. According to its accompanying Heritage certificate this original RHD car was despatched on March 12 1965 and supplied to Victor ltd, Belfast, Northern Ireland. At the time it was finished in opalescent dark green with suede green interior trim. In the 1990s, when the car was restored, this was changed to Carmine Red with black trim. The vendor acquired FNN 641C in 2004 and advises that bills and receipts total some £21,000. Very recently the bodywork and outside finish of the car have been brought up to high standard. The vender now classifies the bodywork and paintwork to be "excellent" and the interior trim, power plant and four speed manual gearbox as all being "good". Registering some 89,558 miles, we understand c.11,500 miles have been covered since 2004. A fine example, it is offered with Swansea V5, MoT to August 2015 and history file containing original brochures, spare parts catalogue, service handbook and tool kit.

PLEASE NOTE: Whilst many of the more difficult jobs were entrusted to the factory and other specialists, this vehicle was supplied in kit form to its owner and not as a factory turn key example.   - Evocation by Parallel designs - well known for their quality and authenticity - 5-litre BMW V12 driving through a 6-speed Audi gearbox - Finished in Pearl White Metallic with Black Alacantra interior, c.265 miles Further info: Renowned for their quality and accuracy, Parallel Designs have produced some of the most faithful Lamborghini copies including the legendary Miura, Countach and Diablo which can be purchased in component, part-built or turnkey form. The Diablo GT chassis consists of a semi-spaceframe design with integral central backbone providing excellent strength and rigidity, whilst body moulds taken from an original example give the car exacting looks and accurate dimensions. Great attention to detail and high build standards have resulted in an enviable reputation and some fantastic cars. This one-owner right-hand drive example was factory built in 2013 at huge cost and first registered on 1 January 2014. Displaying just c.265 miles on its odometer, it is finished in Pearl White metallic with Black Alacantara interior. Powered by a 5.0-litre BMW V12 engine driving through a manual Audi 6-speed transmission, the car's performance and accompanying soundtrack are spectacular. Grey SV replica alloys complete the looks of this stunning machine. Offered with a Swansea V5 document and registered with a normal-style registration number, this wonderful evocation is ready to provide all the looks and excitement of the original at a fraction of the cost.

- Entered from a private collection and 1 of 20 known RHD survivors - 102,000 recorded miles, 4-speed manual, black upholstery - Dry stored but started and moved on a regular basis Further Info: BMW's so-called `New Class' Coupe was debuted in the summer of 1965. It marked the end of the company's V8-powered range and served to introduce the new 2-litre, four-cylinder version of its OHC M10 engine which, as fitted to the CS model, was equipped with twin carburettors and produced a sprightly 120bhp. Unlike the slightly milder-tuned 2000 C, the CS was only available with four-speed manual transmission. Whereas the outgoing 3200 CS featured styling by Bertone, the newcomer was the work of the Karmann concern, whose changes largely concentrated on the front end. The 2000 CS is now a very rare model and this example is thought to be one of only 20 original right-hand drive cars remaining. Part of a private collection for the last 10 years, and started regularly but never really used, it is felt by the vendor to have `very good' bodywork, Blue paintwork, Black interior trim, engine and gearbox.

- Entered from a private collection and 1 of just 260 made - 110,000 recorded miles, 4-speed manual, beige upholstery - Dry stored but started and moved on a regular basis Further Info: BMW's very successful 2002 model first saw the light of day in 1968 as a three-box two-door Saloon. The range was extended in 1971 to include a hatchback variant called the Touring and a Cabriolet version, production of which was entrusted to the Stuttgart based coachbuilder Karosserie Baur. Just 354 examples are understood to have been produced in right-hand drive form, the first 260 of which are recognisable for their round (as opposed to rectangular) rear tail lights, and the sale car is one of these now rare models. It features Turquoise bodywork matched to Beige interior trim and has for some time been dry stored as part of a private collection; only being started and moved by a mechanic in order to maintain its condition. The odometer currently registers an unwarranted but credible 110,657 miles. The vendor classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, four-cylinder engine and four-speed manual transmission as all being in `very good' order.

- 1 of just 1,710 MK11 models made - Repatriated from the USA in 2010 and since restored - Offered with UK registration and full weather equipment Further info: The so-called MKII TD was a competition model introduced alongside the standard offering from late 1950 onwards. Its more highly-tuned engine with larger SU carburettors and 8.1:1 compression ratio resulted in an output of 57bhp at 5,500rpm. The upgrades also included twin fuel pumps, additional Andrex dampers all round and a higher axle ratio. Most of the 1710 produced were exported, including the lefthand drive sale car that started life in the USA. It was following its repatriation in 2009 that this apparently very original MG was resprayed and fitted with a host of new parts, including: tyres; hub seals; wiring loom; bumpers; mohair hood, side screens, carpets and door cards; and indicator control box. The brakes were overhauled too, and the vendor now considers the car to have 'very solid chassis and bodywork' and 'nice' two-pack Green paint, and informs us that the TD 'runs and drives very well'.

PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle has been upgraded with a more powerful 1780cc Series 116 engine (number 01678*055315).   - Reputedly supplied new to South Africa and UK registered since 2003 - Self-evidently treated to past restoration work - Rare, RHD `round tail' Duetto and recently fettled Further Info: The Spider first broke cover at the 1961 Turin Salon, though production did not commence until 1966. The pretty two-seat Roadster, then known as the `Duetto', is said to have been the last project with which `Pinin' Farina was personally associated, and it was his company that produced the monocoque body at its plant in Grugliasco. Just one year later the model was immortalised by the Dustin Hoffman film `The Graduate'. The chassis was based on that of the Giulia 105 and the Series One examples were powered by a 1570cc version of Alfa's sonorous four-cylinder twin-cam unit. In 1967, the Duetto was replaced by the 1750 (1779cc) Spider Veloce. This beautifully-presented right-hand drive Duetto is an example from the second year of the model's production, as confirmed by a letter on file from the Alfa Romeo Owners' Club. It is offered in the classic combination of Red bodywork complemented by Black interior trim. The decorative chrome Alfa Romeo hub caps positively gleam, as does the alloy cover of its free-revving DOHC four-cylinder engine, while the flanks of its iconic two-seater body each carry a small Farina badge as a subtle reminder of the Alfa's origins. This Duetto has been in its current ownership since November 2013 and, according to its V5C, was first registered in the UK during July 2003, prior to which we understand it was domiciled in South Africa. The little Alfa is now in need of a new home and is being sold complete with tailored floor mats, plus a history file containing: a paper copy of the driver's handbook; a workshop manual; various club magazines; and sundry invoices relating to the vendor's recent expenditure. These early Spiders have a purity of form that was steadily diluted as the model evolved. `TGU 343E' therefore represents an increasingly rare opportunity.

- A notably late Lotus Cortina MKI built in August 1966 - Converted into a Stage / Road Rally Car during 1999-2000 - New OMP seats, TRS harnesses and fresh MOT certificate Further Info: First road registered by London County Council on 15th September 1966, `KUC 964D' began life as a standard road going Lotus Cortina MKI (albeit a notably late example of the 3,306 made). Assorted photos and invoices on file show that it was reconfigured as a stage / road rally car some fifteen years ago. Though, whether or not its transformation involved a re-shell is unknown. The current monocoque appears authentic and as well as being gusseted and strengthened boasts such correct-type features as a small hump boot floor and original tramp bar mountings (rather than modified Escort ones). Opening the boot reveals an alloy fuel tank, offside-mounted battery, twin pumps, well secured spare wheel / jack / brace and stickers for the 2000 Premier Rally, 2000 Astra Stages, 2000 Robin Hood Forest Stages Rally, 2001 Cossack Rally, 2001 East Anglian Classic, 2001 John Overend Memorial Stages Rally, 2003 Bruce Robinson Rally, 2003 29th Targa Rusticana and 2007 Robin Hood Historic Forest Stages Rally. Dormant for several years, recent recommissioning has seen `KUC 964D' treated to new FIA-compliant OMP T-RS XL front bucket seats, TRS harnesses and Minilite-style alloy wheels. Starting readily upon inspection, its 1.6 litre engine sports twin Weber carburettors and green-painted cam covers (as fitted to Special Equipment models). As well as its iconic Alan Mann livery, the Ford plays host to a 170mph speedometer, Brantz International 2 Pro Rally Meter, passenger footbrace-mounted horn button, substantial rollcage, oversize wash / wipe switches and retro Gold Leaf Team Lotus / East African Safari stickers. Described by the vendor as being in `very good overall' condition with regard to its engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork, this nicely presented Fast Ford is offered for sale with Stage Logbook, MSA Historic Rally Identify Form, expired FIA Historic Vehicle Identity Form and current MOT certificate valid until March 2016.

PLEASE NOTE: A photocopy Dating Certificate from the Tank Museum accompanies this vehicle, not an original document.   - Powered by a 4.5-litre Rolls-Royce B60 six-cylinder petrol engine - Complete with de-activated Browning 0.30 calibre and smoke dischargers - MoT exempt with Swansea V5 document Further info: Developed in 1949 as a replacement for the Dingo, Daimler's Ferret was adopted by the British Army and a number of Commonwealth forces as a tough and rugged armoured reconnaissance vehicle. Powered by a 4.5-litre Rolls-Royce B60 six-cylinder petrol engine driving through a 5-speed pre-select Wilson epicyclic gearbox, the Mk 1 debuted in 1952 whilst the final versions remained in production up to 1971. A versatile performer, the fast and strong Ferret is capable of speeds approaching 60mph. This Mk 2/3 example comes complete with a de-activated Browning 0.30 calibre machine gun in the turret and smoke dischargers present. The vehicle is accompanied by a dating certificate from the Tank Museum, a firearm de-activation certificate, Swansea V5 and declaration of MoT exemption. Previously featured on the front cover of Classic Military Vehicle magazine (copy on file) it is sure to turn heads and command respect wherever it goes.

- 21,700 recorded miles & MOT'd into February 2016 - Recent bare metal repaint in its original Green livery - Recent service, compression test & carburettor overhaul Further Info: Introduced as the 2000 in 1963, the P6 was the sixth and last of the P-Series Rovers, of which the 3500 S was the ultimate incarnation. Designed in-house, the P6 bristled with innovation and was the winner of the first ever European Car of the Year Award. The handsome manual gearbox 3500 S offered has recently been treated to a bare metal respray in its original Green livery, new Everflex vinyl roof and rain gutters, and alternator. The engine has been thoroughly serviced and compression tested, and the SU carburettors overhauled. The previous keeper had the car fully re-trimmed in Cream hide and fitted with new carpets. The vendor now classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and four-speed gearbox as all being in `excellent' order, and is selling the car with 13 old MOTs that lend credibility to the extraordinarily low indicated mileage of 21,644; plus one valid into February 2016.

- Finished in British Racing Green with Magnolia-coloured leather upholstery - Powered by a Rover V8 engine allied to five-speed manual transmission - Offered with build file, four-branch side-mounted exhaust and wire wheels Further info: Some 2,000 NG cars have reputedly been sold since 1979. Hand built in the traditional vein around a bespoke ladder chassis they employ MG running gear and are generally powered by either MGB engines or the venerable all-alloy Rover V8; which is in fact quite a bit lighter than the cast iron MG unit, as well as being more powerful of course. There was the option of having them factory built or acquiring them in kit form. The example on offer is a TC model powered by the Rover unit. The body is of boat tail design and finished in classic British Racing Green and trimmed in Magnolia-coloured leather. 'Q586 KKE' comes complete with build file, four-branch side-mounted exhaust and knock-on wire wheels, and the vendor currently classifies the bodywork, paintwork, V8 engine, five-speed manual gearbox and the car's electrical equipment as all being in 'good' condition. The odometer displays an unwarranted 18,200 miles.

- Finished in White with Mushroom-coloured leather upholstery - Desirable S4 model with 5.0-litre V8 engine and automatic transmission - Offered with history file containing numerous receipts and old MOT's Further info: Finished in White and trimmed in Mushroom-coloured hide, this right-hand drive 928 hails from the first year of S4 production. The vendor grades the bodywork, paintwork, interior, and automatic gearbox as all being in 'good' order. He further considers that the engine `makes a great V8 sound' and is offering the luxury Porsche complete with a variety of bills, receipts and old MOTs. The Porsche is understood to have covered c.124,000 before undergoing a speedometer clock change last year. The replacement unit shows some 40,000 extra miles but the paperwork on file is felt by the seller to tally with the lower distance. Porsches are famously able to cover huge mileages if properly maintained but 40,000 miles in a single year would be quite some going for a twenty-eight year old car! The S4 featured several mechanical upgrades over the outgoing S3 and was visually distinguishable by new-style bumpers and a rear spoiler. Its 5.0-litre V8 engine produced a meaningful 320 bhp.

- Gordini evocation finished in Blue with Black sports trim - Offered with original service book containing stamps up to 1984 - Fitted with 'split rim' alloy wheels and rally spot lamps Further info: This racey-looking Evocation recalls memories of the competition Renaults that took a hat-trick of victories on the Tour de Corse rally and helped discover such racing stars as the Jean-Pierres Jabouille and Jarier. By the launch of the Dauphine-based R8 model in 1962, former race driver and constructor Amedeo Gordini had been retained by Renault to add some pep to its cooking Saloons, and it was fitting that the fastest of the R8 derivatives, the Renault 8 Gordini, should carry his name. Originally only available in Blue with two stick-on White stripes, it sported a tuned engine of 89bhp mated to a four-speed close-ratio gearbox. Handling was tamed by uprated suspension. The Evocation offered rides on split-rim alloy wheels and features a sports steering wheel and a quartet of spot lights. It comes complete with the original service book containing stamps to 1984 and a selection of old Spanish MOTs.

- Treated to an extensive 'bare metal' restoration by JK Engineering - Thorough mechanical overhaul, repaint and interior re-trim - The best example we have encountered thus far Further info : The first Fiat Dino model - a Spider - was introduced at the 1966 Turin Motor Show. In common with Ferrari's much vaunted 206 and 246 GT Dino cars it was penned by Pininfarina, who built the soft-top too. The Fiat also shared the Ferrari's all-alloy, four-cam, 65 degree V6 engine, the fitment of which in a series of 500 road cars of the time was vital to Ferrari's plans to homologate it for Formula 2 racing. Though designed by the renowned Vittorio Jano, the V6 engine was in fact inspired by Enzo Ferrari's son Dino (Alfredo), who sadly died in 1956 at the age of 24 - the Dino branding was a tribute to him. The second Fiat Dino model - a notably handsome Fixed Head Coupe - was designed and built by Bertone and made its introduction at the 1967 Geneva Salon. The mechanically identical Coupe and Spider initially featured engines of 2-litre capacity and around 160bhp, and suspension comprising coil springs at the front and a live axle set-up with semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear. Later Dinos featured more powerful 190bhp 2.4-litre engines and independent coil-sprung rear suspension derived from the Fiat 2300S. The left-hand drive Dino 2400 Coupe offered is one of the best examples we have ever encountered. The car is understood to have started life as the property of Peter Sellers's son, and comes with a letter from Fiat to him confirming a built date of 1969 and its supply to a German dealer. `FYY 208H' was imported into the UK in 1990 and has been the subject of considerable restoration, which was completed by J.K. Engineering of Biggleswade, Bedfordshire. The work included: a bare metal respray in Red; a full interior retrim in Tan hide; and an extensive mechanical overhaul. This fine Fiat is now offered complete with history file containing a selection of invoices.

- 1 of c.309 made and history back to the early 1960s - Most original interior with Brown leather upholstery - Much recent restoration work documented on DVD Further Info: Like so many of its contemporaries, the Wolverhampton-based Sunbeam enterprise was a bicycle maker that evolved into a car manufacturer, and the Sunbeam Motor Company Ltd was created in 1905 to separate the two-wheel side of the business from the expanding four-wheel one. However, it was from 1909, under the guidance of the fertile-minded Breton-born Louis Coatalen, that the marque truly began to flourish - the road cars became noted for their quality and refinement and the record breakers and racers notched up a string of international successes. Sadly, Sunbeam failed to survive the depression and went into receivership in 1935. The Twenty-Five model was manufactured from 1933 to 1935 and available in Saloon, Limousine and Coupe body styles. It was powered by a straight-six OHV engine of 3317cc, which was fed by a single Zenith carburettor. Well-equipped, the Twenty-Five featured an all-synchromesh four-speed gearbox, hydraulic brakes and semi-elliptic suspension all round. Total production is understood to have been approximately 309. `AXM 597' is a fine-looking example of the breed that hails from 1934, when it would have cost c.£875. The Saloon is smartly finished in Maroon over Black and trimmed in Brown leather. The vendor classes the engine as `excellent'; the transmission, aluminium and steel bodywork and paintwork as `good'; and the interior trim as `good and mostly original aside of new carpets'. The Sunbeam is now being sold complete with MOT to March 2016 and an extensive history file dating back to the early 1960s that contains: invoices for recent restoration work; detailed description of a comprehensive engine overhaul that included remetalling of the bearings, new liners etc; ownership records; period photos and a DVD of the restoration; copy of the Works delivery/despatch sheet to Pass & Joyce; original owner's handbook; and reproduction workshop manual. The odometer registers an unwarranted 77,363 miles.

- 1 of just 130 UK-supplied examples - Recent new clutch and cambelts - Original toolkit and 44,000 recorded miles Further Info: `J244 WOB' is a rare right-hand drive example of Ferrari's increasingly sought-after 348 TB model (just 130 of which were UK-supplied) and is very tidily presented in the classic combination of Rosso Corsa teamed with a Tan hide interior. The history file contains evidence of recent replacements to both the cambelts and clutch, plus details of the previous keepers and sundry old MOTs; as well one valid well into 2016. The Prancing Horse is now being sold complete with its original tool kit and is considered by the vendor to have `good' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, V8 engine and five-speed manual gearbox. Its odometer currently registers an unwarranted but credible 44,049 miles. Ferrari considered mid-engined technology when replacing the 275 GTB - Lamborghini had already declared their hand with the prototype Miura - but were concerned how customers might cope with the related handling of so large and powerful a car. The ensuing Dino therefore represented their first foray into the mid-engined road car market, a line then successfully followed with the 308, 328 and 348. First seen at the 1989 Frankfurt Motorshow, the Pininfarina-penned 348TB (Berlinetta) and 348TS (Spider) were the first series-production Ferraris to feature a steel monocoque chassis as opposed to a tubular frame, and a robotized production line was installed at the Scaglietti works in Modena to produce the new shells. The newcomer shared a number of components with the Mondial, not least: the longitudinally placed 3405cc quad-cam 32-valve V8 engine and transverse (hence the T in the name) five-speed manual gearbox. Cradled in its own subframe, the V8 developed 300bhp and 238 lb ft of torque - sufficient to propel the 348 to 60mph in 5.4 seconds and to a top speed of 170mph. A total of 8,844 348s are understood to have been produced before the model was superseded by the 355 in 1994.

PLEASE NOTE: This Series One Land Rover is an 88-inch wheelbase model and not an 86-inch one as catalogued. It is also began life with a diesel engine but has since been converted to petrol power.   - Possibly the best restored Series I Land Rover available today? - Featured in The Landy magazine (October 2014 issue) - Meticulous 'chassis up' refurbishment inc. Agra Engineering engine overhaul Further Info: According to the vendor, this highly attractive early Land Rover could quite possibly be `the best restored Series 1 for sale in the UK today'. And so it might be, having been treated to a recent comprehensive chassis up restoration by experienced craftsmen, during which all bodywork was evidently removed, stripped and repaired as necessary. The bumper and window frames were galvanised, and all the body panels prepared and painted as individual components prior to the final assembly. The 2.0-litre petrol engine was fully overhauled by historic engine specialist Agra Engineering and the gearbox stripped and checked. The list of new items fitted to `2773 HK' includes: clutch assembly; exhaust system; brake drums, shoes and cylinders; front springs; and hood. The Landie has also been rewired with the correct period-style wiring loom. Needless to say, the vendor now regards the vehicle as being pretty much `as new', with only installation miles added since its completion.

- Desirable D-Program SC and extensively restored to 'concours' standard - Bare metal respray, complete interior re-trim and thorough engine overhaul - Large history file which documents its 72,000 recorded miles Further Info: A notably late D-Program SC (Super Carrera) fitted with the more powerful 201bhp/197lbft 3-litre flat-six, `B292 XAS' was supplied new to the United Emirates in March 1984 and then imported to the UK three years later by its longest serving keeper. He also ran it in the US for a spell before returning the Porsche to Britain and selling it on. The left-hand drive car changed hands twice more before entering the current ownership and being treated to a top class restoration during 2014. The receipts totalling £28,000 cover a bare metal respray in the original colour of Guards Red, total interior re-trim in Red-piped Black leather by Transcal, and a `no-expense-spared' engine overhaul by Glasgow marque specialist George Morrison. All seals, liners, carpets, Targa top components etc were either refurbished or renewed. This handsome, almost `as new' 911 is now being offered complete with: service book; MOTs etc supporting its 71,072 indicated miles; the original handbook and invoices for all the work and import documentation.

- Desirable late R107-series SL with black / dogtooth upholstery - 19 services to date, original book pack and 119,000 recorded miles - Factory hardtop, alloy wheels, PAS, automatic, 5 litre V8 Further Info: This fine-looking right-hand drive 5.0-litre V8 example of the ever-popular R107-series SL is finished in Arctic White and complemented by Black dogtooth cloth/leather upholstery and carpeting. The car has remained true to its original specification and been in its current ownership for the last five years. The vendor presently describes the SL as having: a `very good' 5.0-litre V8 engine; `good' three-speed automatic transmission, bodywork and paintwork; `average' interior trim and `unmarked' alloy wheels. He also says that it `drives superbly'. `E937 CPB' comes complete with its original colour-keyed factory hard top and an extensive history that details all 19 services carried out over its current mileage of 119,000. The R107 range was launched in 1971, and featured a two-door monocoque bodyshell with independent suspension and disc brakes all round. Over 18 years it was powered by no less than eight different engines - that powering the 240bhp 500SL was available from 1980 to 1989.
