Registration No: HSK 227 Chassis No: MK7 856 MOT: ExemptVery early example of the famous Lotus 7One of the most photographed examples in existence that features in a number of books about the marqueEntered from the collection of the late Graham NearnFitted with a BMC 948cc 'A-Series' engineA motoring icon, the Lotus Seven was introduced at the 1957 Earl’s Court Motor Show. Stylistically indebted to its MkVI predecessor, the newcomer featured a spaceframe chassis and aluminium bodywork fabricated by the Progress Chassis Company and Williams & Pritchard respectively (both companies being near neighbours of Lotus). A multi-tubular affair, the Seven’s structure was, in many ways, a simplified version of that which underpinned the marque’s highly successful Eleven sports racer. Designed for fast road and / or competition usage, the newcomer could be had with a choice of Ford ‘sidevalve’, BMC A-Series OHV or Coventry-Climax OHC engines. Available in factory finished or self-build guises, the Seven was expensive compared to the plethora of specials on the market at the time but altogether more accomplished. Only in production from September 1957 to June 1960, the impact of the Lotus Seven S1 was wholly disproportionate to the approximately 243 examples made. Acquired by the founder of Caterham Cars, the late Graham Nearn, decades ago, ‘HSK 227’ was given pride of place in the company’s principal showroom. The subject of an older restoration and fitted with a "hot" 948cc BMC A-Series engine with Twin SU Carburettors mated to a 'rib-case' gearbox, it is a very well known car having graced the front cover of ‘Colin Chapman: Lotus Engineering’ by Hugh Haskell and been featured in Autocar and EVO magazines not to mention appearing on the Petrolicious and BBC News websites etc. Riding on correct, silver-painted wire wheels which complement its bare aluminium bodywork, this famous S1 would surely grace any Lotus collection? Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork. For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Registration No: HX51 UAO Chassis No: JSAEGA41S00200477 MOT: March 2025Limited edition 'GSR' which is one of six-hundred builtA genuine Japanese 'hot hatch' with a 16 Valve 1.8 Litre engine capable of accelerating from 0-60mph in 8.8 secondsIntroduced in 1995, the Suzuki Baleno was the European brand name for the Suzuki Cultus Crescent and it was Suzuki's first attempt to enter the competitive compact segment of the market. Initially available as a three-door hatchback and a four-door family saloon, it was fitted with either a 1.3 Litre or a 1.5 Litre engine. Restyled in 1998; in the European market a special 'hot hatch' version was made available known as the Suzuki Baleno GSR. Fitted with the 1.8 Litre J18A chain-driven DOHC engine, the GSR was considerably fast for the era, producing 119bhp and 112 Ib-ft of torque, propelling the car from 0-60mph in 8.8 seconds, somewhat quicker than the Volkswagen Golf 2.0 GTI from the same period. The car was fitted with a number of luxuries such as air conditioning, rear window wiper, fog lights and sports bucket seats. Having only produced around 600 units in total, the GSR has developed a following with enthusiasts as the plucky underdog hot hatch. First registered on the 28th September 2001, 'HX51 UAO' was supplied by Town & Country Suzuki cars in Ash, Surrey in the colour scheme described by Suzuki as 'Blue-ish Black Pearl' over a Grey Cloth interior and was PDI'd for delivery on the 17th October 2001. Supplied with the original service book, there are nine Suzuki main dealer stamps up to 72,000 miles. There are a number of invoices on file for further servicing and the Suzuki was recently serviced by the vendor. Supplied with a number of spares including original springs, after-market headlight covers, replacement crownwheel and pinion for the differential, CV joints, new fog lamps, gear linkages and more. Described by the vendor as being in 'very good' mechanical condition and cosmetically showing some small stone chips on the front, the vendor has advised that he will also be repainting the rear bumper in time for the sale. Now offered as a surprisingly rare hot hatch - we are sure this could be a great opportunity for any collector who fancies a car that is quite different from the usual choices and can be enjoyed as a cheap (and quite fast) runaround.

Registration No: 9828 PU Chassis No: B90114450D MOT: ExemptCurrent ownership since 2014In need of recommissioning after a period of dry storage73,000 credible miles recordedCurrent V5C document and a collection of old MOT certificatesOffered with hardtop and fitted with original wire wheels"In the Alpine the needs of the sporting motorist with a young family are met. It is attractive, safe, and unquestionably fast in spite of the emphasis put on long-distance comfort. The world's markets are overdue such a car". (Autocar 1959) Introduced in 1959, the Sunbeam Alpine was a natural rival to cars such as the MGA and Triumph TR3. Built around a steel monocoque, it featured independent coil-sprung front suspension, a 'live' rear axle, and disc/drum brakes. An attractive design, its lines were predominantly the responsibility of Kenneth Howes. Swindon born, this former employee of Ford's Detroit Styling Centre had also been schooled under Raymond Loewy. As such, the Alpine's 'micro Thunderbird' profile was perhaps little coincidence. Initially powered by a 1494cc OHV four-cylinder engine developing some 78bhp @ 5,300rpm, the be-finned sportscar was reputedly capable of 98mph.In current ownership since 2014, and having been in long-term previous ownership, this 1960 Sunbeam Alpine Series 1 is in need of recommissioning after a period of dry storage. Described as in a ‘fair condition, requiring TLC’, it is, however, said to be ‘running’. Displaying some 73,000 credible miles, it possesses its original engine with overdrive and has a specification that includes wearing original wire wheels. Additionally, there are said to be many original elements on the car and comes to auction with both hard and soft tops. It is offered with a current V5C Registration Document, original buff log book, original rubber mats and a collection of old MOT certificates.

Registration No: VSJ 780 Chassis No: 401/1094 MOT: Exempt1 of just 618 made, matching chassis and engine numbersSold by H&H in 2016, immediately after an extensive repaint and recommissionPresented in fine, useable order with a small fortune in bills present"This, indeed, is the car for the connoisseur. It can only be modesty on the part of the Bristol publicity boys which has prevented them from quoting as the 401's slogan 'The Best Car in Britain'" (Motor Sport magazine, January 1953). Introduced in Autumn 1949, the 401 was characterised by its super-smooth, aerodynamic bodywork. Honed in the Bristol Aeroplane Company's wind tunnel and built using Milanese coachbuilder Touring's ‘Superleggera’ technique, it boasted a commendably lithe kerb weight (c.2,700lbs). Equipped with transverse-leaf independent front suspension and hydraulic drum brakes, the newcomer proved a notably fine handler taking Touring Class wins on both the Cannes and Tulip Rallies during 1951. Powered by a 1971cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the elegant sports saloon promised nigh-on 100mph performance. Only in production for four years (by which time a mere 618 are thought to have been made), the model's exclusive £3,212 13s 4d price tag was a reflection of the aircraft quality materials used in its construction. Supplied new by Anthony Crook Ltd of Hersham, Surrey, this particular example - chassis 401/1094 was dry stored for some sixteen years prior to being treated to a bare metal repaint and sundry re-chroming plus some sympathetic mechanical recommissioning. As well as a new cylinder head gasket, the original `matching numbers' engine benefited from new core plugs, flushed-out waterways and overhauled carburettors. The radiator core was attended to as were the water pump, starter solenoid, wiring and brakes. Post this work, the car was sold in 2016 via a H&H auction. Acquired by our vendor in 2021 and maintained "money no object" by no other than Bristol Specialists Spencer Lane Jones Ltd, the car is described as being a 'very good' example of the marque by the vendor, with the paint work still appearing 'very good' all over and with the mechanics being rated as 'excellent'. Finished in Cambridge Grey Metallic with Dark Blue leather upholstery, this 401 should surely be an example for any collector to be proud of.

Registration No: NTB 269M Chassis No: 1S2233 MOT: March 2025Finished in its original colours of Blue Azure Blue paintwork with a complementing Biscuit interiorJust 36,959 miles from new and 7 former keepers recorded with the DVLAUK RHD example with matching chassis and engine numbersOffered with JDHT certificate, collection of old MOT certificates plus invoicesOriginal Passport to Service displaying a couple of stamps plus operating and service handbookBy 1971, Jaguar's jaw-dropping E-Type had been in production for a decade. Despite continual improvements, new emissions legislation in the all-important American market threatened to strangle the big cat's performance. Jaguar responded by giving its revered sportscar fresh claws in the shape of a 5343cc V12 developed from the stillborn XJ13 Le Mans project car. The new engine was both effortlessly powerful and eerily refined. "The turbine-like smoothness with which the engine provides a sustained shove in the back is almost uncanny, the more so when one accelerates hard in top gear." (Autocar 5th July 1973). With some 272bhp and 304lbft of torque on tap, the Series III E-Type once again had 150mph in its sights. A revised wheelbase yielded better cabin space, and in conjunction with wider front/rear tracks, new anti-dive front suspension geometry and fatter tyres gave improved road holding. Imbued with a more muscular stance thanks to its flared wheel arches, re-profiled wings and larger grille, the model also boasted vented disc brakes and a restyled interior.Chassis 1S2233, ‘NTB 269M’, was built on 15th August 1973 and despatched on 6th September 1973. Wearing Azure Blue paintwork with a complementing Biscuit interior, it was ordered with a manual gearbox and distributed by Ashton Preston Garages Ltd, Preston, Lancashire and is all stated on the accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Dating Certificate. First registered 12th October 1973, the current mileage is c.36,959. In June 1984 the record of MOT mileage began at 26,324 miles. In April 2001 the then owner, a Mr Bradley, wrote to Maranello Sales to confirm the mileage of 26,324 miles on the date of purchase in July 1985. He stated it was transferred to Mr Bradley’s company in March 1990, then into his wife’s name in June 1991, ‘changed for book-keeping purposes’, so, only two owners from new and confirming the mileage of 31,013 is correct in April 2001.Work has included: July 2001- Martin Robey Eng Ltd carried out axle and rear brake work at a cost of £2,086 and Hamptons coach trimmers supplied and fitted a new mohair hood, along with a frame repaint for a cost of £527; July 2002- I.J Feakin Ltd £833.37 on mechanical fettling and servicing; April 2003 ignition system work; 2007- SC Parts £965 splined hubs, spinners and a grille £129; Jan 2011- MWS chrome wire spoke wheels; April 2021- correspondence with dealers Maranello. ‘NTB’ has had various parts supplied from SNG Barrett and the SC Parts Group with invoices on file for those and the aforementioned work. Among the documents is correspondence from July 1985 with HR Owen regarding a possible part exchange involving a Range Rover and a March 1988 letter about a new windscreen from The Chelsea Workshop.A matching chassis and engine numbers car with just 7 former keepers recorded with the DVLA, ’NTB 269M’ is offered with a collection of old tax discs, MOT history (the majority of MOTs dating back to 1984), the original Passport to Service displaying a couple of stamps, the operating and service handbook, the Jaguar wallet and the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Dating Certificate. There are some old copies of previous V5 Registration Documents and the current V5C. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Registration No: KAB 150X Chassis No: JNAEW3BC106530 MOT: November 2024Just two owners from newCurrent ownership from 1986Just under 55,000 warranted miles from newA more relaxed and refined proposition than its E-Type predecessor, the XJ-S was a highly capable Grand Tourer. Introduced in July 1981, the so-called Series II variant was powered by a ‘High Efficiency’ (H.E.) version of Jaguar’s iconic 5.3-litre V12 engine which imbued it with better fuel economy, more power (299bhp/318lbft) and a higher top speed (152mph). While cosmetic changes encompassed the adoption of Starfish alloy wheels and burred elm wood veneers. Yet for all its performance capability, the Jaguar proved a refined and relaxing drive.'KAB 150X' was first registered on 12th March 1982. Fitted with the 5343cc V12 engine mated to an automatic gearbox, the Jaguar was originally finished in a Metallic Silver paintwork with Black hide interior trim and comes with a rare factory sunroof. The car was purchased by the second owner, who is a General Practioner based in London, in 1986. After a minor bump during the 1990s, it was decided that the XJ-S would be repainted in the Metallic British Racing Green that the car is presented in today. It retains the original Black Leather interior which has never been retrimmed and as a result has aged to a beautifully patinated condition, testament to the mileage of just under 55,000 miles from new. A new gearbox was fitted by the owner around 10 years ago and the car has been kept in a dry garage for the last 31 years. The car is accompanied by a large history file including the original bookpack comprising the operation manual, sales brochures and stamped service book up to 1988. The history file further encompasses a vast selection of past tax discs, invoices and sundry paperwork, as well as old MOT certificates. Offered for sale with a current V5C and MOT certificate until November 2024.Upon inspection, the car started with ease and drove to the photoshoot location very smoothly indeed, with easy changes thanks to the replacement gearbox. The vendor advises that the car 'always starts well' and that 'everything electrical works apart from the sunroof' which a quick check confirmed. The bodywork appears overall solid, however on the drivers' side there is noticeable bubbling along the bottom of the driver's door and around the rear valance / quarter panel where the bumper meets it. However, with a small amount this should be easy to rectify. The vendor states that the car presents in overall 'fair' condition that would benefit from a small amount of restoration work.Now offered at No Reserve, this XJ-S presents a rare opportunity to become only the third owner of a desirable low mileage classic.

Registration No: J614 PEW Chassis No: SAXXL2S1N20505520 MOT: August 2024Subject to an extensive, custom build over the course of two yearsBespoke interior with uprated sound systemLess than 1,000 miles completed since the restoration completionEntered from a private collectionThe original Mini was a revolution on wheels, offering iconic style and space for the masses. The fuel crisis beating 'people's car' that became a fashion icon, synonymous with Britain and the 'swinging '60s. The mechanical genius of the design placed the ubiquitous 'A-Series' engine transversely across the frame with the gearbox with its sump. A rubber cone suspension replaced springs, accentuating the 'go kart'-like handling and allowing for 80 percent of the floorpan to be used by passengers and their luggage.Purchased by the vendor in 2021, ‘J614 PEW’ was provided with an extensive customisation and restoration over the following two years. The restoration included new stove enamelled subframes which were then painted in two-pack Black; full bodywork restoration and repaint; Spax adjustable shocks; stainless steel grill; new bumpers; centre branch manifold with two-inch exhaust; all bolts replaced with stainless; new brake discs, calipers and brake lines; new tyres; uprated sound system with Bluetooth connectivity; engine and gearbox refreshes; and full leather interior trimming. Described by the vendor as a ‘nut and bolt’ restoration, there has been a significant focus upon quality of work completed and attention to detail. Entered from a private collection, the Mini has covered less than 1,000 miles since the restorations completion and is offered with a selection of restoration images. Starting readily and both running and driving well during our recent photography session, this Mini is ready for use! Offered with an MOT certificate until August 2024.

Supplied new by E. Farrow of Cross Engineering, Thorrington, Essex to Mr W. F. H. Gibbon Esq. of Great Bentley, Colchester, the Alpine was retained by the first owner for two years. Thereafter it was acquired by Mrs Draga Douce of Braiswick, Colchester, a well-known businesswoman in Colchester who ran a hairdressing salon on North Hill, Colchester. Apparently, the epitome of the 1960s fashionable lady, the Sunbeam ideally suited her chic persona. Exceptionally fond of the car, she retained it in her ownership until her passing in 1995.Sold by Mrs Douce executors to a friend who had the Alpine restored over the next year, with a focus upon maintaining originality, the Alpine pleasingly retains the majority of its original panels and interior trim. The vendor thereafter noticed the car with and recognised it immediately as one he regularly saw in Colchester as a teenager, and after several years of asking to, successfully purchased the car. Since then, the vendor has significantly improved the car during his custodianship, with the enhancements including new rear wheel cylinders; a new heater valve; carburettor tuning; improvement to the front brakes; a new fuel pump; a new coil; a new battery; servicing; and more.In regular use throughout the vendor’s ownership, the Sunbeam is due to be driven to the sale some 60 miles to the auction. Offered now with just 57,850 recorded and believed genuine miles on the odometer, the Alpine is supplied with an original buff logbook, previous logbooks, a collection of MOTs from the 1970s; several previous tax discs, restoration images, a list of improvements during the vendor’s ownership, and a current V5C document. A matching chassis and engine numbers example with desirable overdrive, the Alpine has just four owners from new and low mileage.

Registration No: HJ52 HXP Chassis No: SA9M12R1M2G113104 MOT: September 2024Just 29,800 miles from newCurrent ownership since 2014 and just three former keepersSignificantly improved while in the vendor's custodianship with considerable expenditureSupplied with a history file including the original stamped service bookNoble Automotive Ltd. was founded in 1999 by British entrepreneur, car designer and engineer Lee Noble and, using his experience from his time spent at Ascari, he quickly established his company's commitment to designing and manufacturing high-performance sports cars with a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout. Lee Noble sold the company in August 2006 to Peter Dyson and later moved on in 2008 to work on other ventures, however, as well as being a knowledgeable collector of exotic cars and a successful business entrepreneur, Dyson was an M12 owner and a huge admirer of both Noble Automotive and the M12's attributes.The M12 was produced in four versions (GTO 2.5, GTO-3 3.0, GTO-3R 3.0, with the M400 being the ultimate variant), all being powered by a sympathetically tuned (forge decompressed rods, cylinder block modifications with cylinder bore oil spray jets, crankshaft balancing, and turbo oil feeds built into the heads, along with ST 220 camshafts, coil top plugs, and a new MBE engine management system) twin-turbocharged Ford Duratec V6 engine. The basic structure consists of a steel tub with a full steel roll-cage and G.R.P composite clamshell body parts. These cars are extremely lightweight and stiff, with the ability to perform very well on both road and track, and offer surprisingly good ride quality and lots of confidence-inspiring feedback.At launch, the M12 had 310bhp with the help of its pair of Garrett T25 turbos, giving a top speed of 165mph and a 0-60mph time of 4.1 seconds. With its quasi-racer feel, being heightened by the very visible Alcantara-trimmed roll-cage and no-nonsense instruments, this really is a driver's car. There was no ABS, no traction control and no ESP, just real engineering integrity and a brilliant design and the M12 was able to compete dynamically with the best junior supercars of the day.Manufactured in 2002, the M12 GTO-3 offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 30th of November that year. Fitted with the 3.0-litre variant of the V6 engine, chassis ‘113104’ has covered a mere 29,800 miles from new (at the time of consignment). Entering into the vendor’s custodianship in 2014, the Noble has had just three former keepers. Well-maintained before the vendor’s ownership, the M12 received seven services during the first twelve years of its life (up to 2014), with several of those completed by Noble. Thereafter, the vendor continued servicing work with Noble Motorsport themselves.Further embarking on significant improvements across the vendor's ten-year ownership, the work completed has included a full repaint in 2022 in Ford ST Metallic Orange with Black roof; fitment of Revotech double front fans and well-known Noble tunnel air-flow modification (to keep the car cool even in heavy traffic); Willans five-point harness sets; recent new Yokohama tyres; stainless flexi brake hoses fitted (HEL) all corners; new Dunlop race brake pads; new Gaz Gold fully adjustable coil overs; large intercooler fitted with further electric fan assist to maximise the cold air to the turbos; insulation to the ducting; recent new battery and new door lock alarm and immobiliser; and rear exhaust heat shield wrapped.Offered with a history file that contains the original owner’s handbook and the stamped service book, a large selection of previous MOTs and tax discs, numerous previous invoices for work completed from both the current and previous ownerships, tracker documentation, and a current V5C document. Recently returning from a trip to Scotland from the Peak District without issue, the Noble started readily and both ran and drove well during our recent photography session. A well-maintained and sensibly improved example of the highly capable Noble M12, in the desirable 3.0-litre variation.PLEASE NOTE: The registration number shown in the images is not included in the sale.

Registration No: T246 NAU Chassis No: WBAEF82040CC67477 MOT: May 2025Complete with original book pack and stamped service book showing eight stampsUpgraded 4.4 Litre 'Sport' Specification with original BMW split-rim cross spoke wheelsSupplied with a fresh MOT certificateWhen the Klaus Kapitza designed 8 Series was launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1989, it felt like a glimpse into the future with its angular styling. An upmarket range with superior performance and price tag to match, the 8 Series was designed to be a standalone premium model although seen to be the successor to the 6 Series. The 8 Series was offered in 830i, 840Ci and 850i/Ci form and, when introduced in mid-1993, it was fitted with a 4 litre, V8 engine mated to either a five-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission. Producing a very healthy 282bhp, this version could achieve the 0-62mph sprint in an impressive 6.9 seconds; importantly with the naturally aspirated V8, acceleration was effortless and refined. Over $1 billion dollars are said to have been spent on the car's design with CAD design and wind tunnel technology. From mid-1995, production phased in the newer 4.4 litre M62B44 engine, the 4.4 Sport offered a better driving experience with considerably more torque. Finished in the attractive colour combination of Titanium Silver over a Black Leather interior, this V8-powered 840Ci boasts the lesser-seen ‘Sport’ pack comprising stiffer ‘Nürburgring’ suspension system, M Aerodynamics bodykit (complete with smaller door mirrors etc) and split-rim cross spoke alloy wheels. Supplied new by Bridgegate BMW and first registered as ‘T246 NAU’ on 27th June 1999, the four-seater is understood to have been off the road from 2010 – 2015. The accompanying service book contains eight main dealer and specialist service stamps but an anomaly with the MOT history means the vendor feels unable to warrant the present odometer reading of some 98,000 miles (online records suggest that the car covered over 47,000 miles in under six weeks during 2007). Joining the vendor’s E31-series collection in 2020, the grand tourer has been exhibited at various local car shows. Described by the seller as 'a good honest original car', he notes the presence of various stone chips and other cosmetic imperfections but feels that the car has never suffered any serious damage. Reportedly kept serviced, ‘T246 NAU’ is said to be in good overall mechanical condition and indeed passed its most recent MOT test with no advisories.

Registration No: BP 217 Chassis No: 6006 MOT: ExemptEntered from a large private collectionCoil / magneto ignition, conventional pedals, uprated transmission, improved fueling and cooling systems etcElegant four-seater coachwork with canopy topA proven and well developed 'London to Brighton' runnerA successful entrepreneur and intrepid adventurer, G. Adolphe Clement progressed from making bicycles through to cars, airships and aeroplanes as well as participating in numerous of the earliest inter-city and inter-country automobile races. Instrumental in the survival of Panhard et Levassor and the establishment of Austin and Talbot, autumn 1903 saw him sign away the commercial rights to his surname with the sale of Clement-Gladiator and found a new marque, Bayard (albeit ‘Constructeur A. Clement’ appeared prominently on the nascent concern’s vehicles and in any associated literature). The ‘Bayard’ name was a tribute to the Chevalier who had saved the town of Mezieres – site of one of Clement’s factories – from the Duc de Nassau in 1521. The irrepressible industrialist later changed his surname to Clement-Bayard and indeed the first airship to cross The English Channel was Clement-Bayard II. A ‘Voiture Legere’ manufacturer, Bayard used far fewer proprietary components than many of its peers and soon became synonymous with advanced design. Announced in October 1903, the Bayard AC2K (Adolphe Clement) model featured a pressed steel, channel-section chassis, semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, expanding rear wheel brakes and shaft drive to a bevel axle. Cooled by a gilled, tube type radiator slung ahead of the hollow front axle, the sophisticated twin-cylinder 1.6-litre T-head engine boasted an automatic carburettor, water pump, coil / magneto ignition, dual camshafts, interchangeable valves and exhaust pressure-fed lubrication. Operated by a right-hand quadrant change mounted alongside the transmission brake lever, the gearbox contained three forward speeds and a reverse gear. Available in bare chassis guise, customers had the option of paying a modest supplement for handsome factory Rear Entrance Tonneau coachwork. Reputedly capable of over 30mph and praised for its reliability, speed and hill-climbing, the Bayard AC2K was also marketed in England as the Talbot CT2K (Clement Talbot). Information held at the Contemporary Archive Centre in Fontainebleau, France indicates that 1904 Bayard (Clement-Bayard) chassis numbers ran from 6003 to 6303. First UK road registered in West Sussex or so its ‘BP 217’ registration number would imply, chassis 6006 has previously been dated by the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain to 1904 under Certificate Number 1627. Seemingly highly original and thus covered in ‘A. Clement’ detailing from the dashboard-mounted oiler through to its sump plate, hubcaps, side / rear ‘AC’ treadplates and kickplates, the four-seater sports genuine chassis, engine and carrosserie plaques (the latter for body number 2520). Extensively restored whilst in the care of renowned, West Country collector Leslie Thomas Esq., he is understood to have added such niceties as a starter motor, throttle pedal, battery cut-off, windscreen wiper and cooling fan etc not to mention thoroughly overhauling the mechanicals and cosmetics. Subsequently belonging to Paul Tillion Esq, ‘BP 217’ entered the current family ownership in 2011. A multiple participant, and finisher, on the London to Brighton Run, the Rear Entrance Tonneau has lain idle as part of a large private collection in recent years. As such, it will require recommissioning prior to road use (albeit the engine turns freely). Again thanks to Mr Thomas’s ingenuity, the windscreen folds up into a recess within the canopy roof which in turn can be lowered to facilitate transport. It is thought that just eight ‘2K’ cars (be they badged as Bayard, Clement-Bayard, Clement-Talbot or Talbot) are known to the VCC. Surely worthy of a place in another collection, this appealing Veteran has much to recommend it. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737

Registration No: HSK 533 Chassis No: 62941R MOT: ExemptBelieved to be one of only twelve cars supplied new to the UK MarketUnderstood to have been under the custodianship of only two owners in the last 50 yearsSubject to recent extensive recommissioning work including body and paintworkSupplied with a history file dating back to the 1970sIntroduced at the first Frankfurt Motor Show in 1951, the BMW 501 platform was the first BMW model to be manufactured and sold after the Second World War, and was the first BMW car built in Bavaria. An all new design, the car was designed with a perimeter frame, torsion bar suspension all round with double A-arms at the front. The car was fitted with the M337 six-cylinder engine which was a development of the unit used in the pre-war BMW 328. Shortly into production, however, it was deemed that the car was underpowered compared to the Mercedes-Benz 220SE which was its nearest competitor. In 1954, the chassis was finally graced with a new 2.6 Litre V8 engine, which was essentially a scaled down imitation of the Oldsmobile Rocket engine, however, unlike the Detroit-built cast iron leviathan, the neat BMW unit was formed from aluminium and produced 100 horsepower. Launched at the 1954 Geneva Motor Show, the new V8 variant was born as the BMW 502, at the time of its introduction, the published 99mph top speed reportedly made it Germany's fastest passenger saloon in production.Buit in 1957 as a later 3.2 Litre engined car and first registered on the 4th December 1957, little is known of the early history of 'HSK 533'. However, it is understood that HSK 533 was bought in the late 1960s / early 1970s by Leslie H. Trainer, the founder of Trainer BMW of Swansea. After the purchase by Mr Trainer, it is understood that the dealership undertook an extensive overhaul which included replacement of at least some (if not all) of the Red Velour interior trim. It is understood that the result of this overhaul was that the car was a recurring winner of the BMW International Concours D' Elegance during the early 1980s, until the car was laid up in 1991. Bought by the vendor from auction in 2016 as a joint project to be shared with the owner of a well-established classic motoring magazine, the car was found to be in a dilapidated state and the vendor decided at this point to undertake a number of works which included areas of rust repair, paint and mechanical work which included the repair of a crack in the engine block. The vendor is a stickler for originality and as many original parts were procured as possible, which included the use of a new old stock (but slightly surface-rusted) pair of bumpers. The vendor is now deciding to sell due to advancing years and a large number of other projects that require more of his time.The vendor has advised that now that the works to the body have been completed, the body can be described as 'good', however, the paintwork was not completed with a show-winning finish in mind because of the vendor's willingness to use the car so this can be judged as 'fair'. The gorgeous Red velour interior appears to survive in a gorgeous, patinated condition with only small areas to improve if felt necessary. The dashboard lacquer is in overall intact condition with only small areas where veneer would require attention. All gauges are intact, and all appear to work apart from the fuel gauge. Mechanically, the brakes and engine have been overhauled and the vendor advised that the car 'starts and runs well' and moves well under its own steam with the transmission appearing to be in 'good working order'.If you are looking to acquire a good, working piece of rare German automotive history that is unusual, yet luxurious and a pleasure to drive around in, this rare 502 may be a great alternative to the usual Mercedes-Benz 220SE or 300 Adenauer.

Registration No: R590 NUF Chassis No: SAJJGAED3AR025036 MOT: T.B.AFitted with a rebuilt engine in 2014 at circa 110,000 milesFinished in the attractive colour combination of metallic British Racing Green over a Cream Leather interiorTo be offered with a fresh MOT by the vendorOffered with a large history fileLiving up to expectations can be a burden. Consider the handsome Geoff Lawson-penned XK8 that followed in the wheeltracks of such automotive icons as the XK120 and immortal E-type. Like the E-Type before it, the XK8 made its debut at the Geneva Motorshow - that of 1996 - and, from launch, was available in either Coupe or Convertible guise. Like its immediate predecessor, the XJS, the original XK8 was more of a Grand Tourer than an outright sports car. It also had the distinction of being the first Jaguar to be powered by an eight cylinder engine. This then, was a cat with strong DNA but also its own distinctive, endearing personality. At the time of the newcomer's unveiling, Jaguar Cars was owned by Ford, as was Aston Martin, and it made sound economic sense for the XK8 and similarly targeted DB7 to share the same platform; which itself was derived from that of the outgoing XJS. The biggest of many differences between new and old, was the adoption of Jaguar's second generation independent rear suspension system, previously found on the XJ40 Saloon. Prior to 2003, power came from either a normally aspirated (XK8) or supercharged (XKR) 4.0-litre version of the company's DOHC V8 AJ26 engine. From 2003 to the end of production in 2006, the 4.2-litre AJ34 unit was employed. In each case, the engine was allied to either a five or six-speed (from 1997 onwards) automatic transmission.First registered on the 13th March 1998, 'R590 NUF' was sold by HA Fox of Guildford to a Mr C Thompson of Guildford, Surrey and supplied in the attractive colour scheme of metallic British Racing Green over a Cream Leather Interior. Showing four former keepers on the V5C, the vendor acquired the car in 2017 as part of his private collection. Offered with a large history file, the Jaguar is supplied with the original service book, showing seven stamps from Jaguar plus one stamp from a Jaguar Specialist at 118,000 miles. The vendor also serviced the car at 129,000 miles which includes a gearbox service. Having stored the car off the road for four years, it has recently been recommissioned for the road which included a new fuel pump. Now described by the vendor as having 'good bodywork - although with some areas of issues to be expected such as some lacquer peeling on the roof, a dent on the offside front wing and small areas of bubbling visible, it is very presentable overall'. He also describes the mechanical condition of the car to be 'very good' and drives 'very well' and he also describes the sumptuous cream leather interior as being in 'good condition for the age', having recently reveneered the centre console and replaced the headlining. If you are looking for a very reasonably priced grand touring car that is perfect for the summer, 'R590 NUF' would be a sound bet with some room for improvement if the prospective new owner wishes.

Registration No: XML 6 Chassis No: L176/1 MOT: ExemptPrototype of the first volume-built Lotus modelFamously came 2nd in its first two races at Silverstone in 1952Entered from the collection of the late Graham NearnPreviously on display at the British Motor MuseumThere is no doubting Colin Chapman’s genius in terms of mathematics, stress analysis or talent spotting (the roster of designers, drivers and engineers he employed remains exceptional). However, Lotus may never have conquered the world of motorsport or become a much-loved sportscar manufacturer if Colin Chapman had not been helped by his future wife Hazel Williams (and her parents), the Allen brothers (Michael and Nigel) or his father Stanley. Trainee dentists with a petrolhead father, Michael and Nigel Allen spent their spare time tinkering with cars in an unusually well-equipped domestic garage. A fellow Austin Seven enthusiast who could not help but be impressed with his near neighbours’ facilities, Chapman befriended the Allen brothers and convinced them to build and campaign a trio of cars in 750 Motor Club events for the 1951 season. In the end, the triumvirate only completed one car. Known as the Lotus MkIII and road registered as ‘LMU 3’, its successes were such that Chapman felt emboldened enough to form the Lotus Engineering Company on January 1st 1952 with himself, his father and the Allen brothers as the four directors. Stanley Chapman provided an old stable adjacent to his pub as a workshop and Michael Allen ran the enterprise day-to-day while Chapman continued to work for British Aluminium and Nigel Allen kept up with his studies. The 750 Motor Club’s announcement of a new 1172 Formula for 1953 provided Chapman with a golden opportunity. His response was the Lotus MkVI which took full advantage of the new class’s regulations that allowed entrants to field chassis of their own design (as opposed to Austin Seven derived examples).Utilising the same spaceframe layout that Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar had chosen for the W196 Grand Prix car and C-Type sports racer respectively, Chapman’s sketches for the MkVI were turned into reality by Nigel Allen who designed and fabricated the prototype’s chassis. Purposefully designed to accept a variety of drivetrains (be they Ford, BMC, MG or Coventry-Climax), the very first MkVI was fitted with a shorter stroke Ford Consul OHV engine displacing 1498cc. The idea being to prove to potential buyers that the featherweight chassis / body unit (which tipped the scales at just 90lb) was strong enough to cope with a heavier / more powerful engine than the 1172 Formula would permit.Clothed by Williams and Pritchard, another North London company which would play a significant role in the Lotus story going forward (as would the Progress Chassis Company that fabricated all subsequent MkVI spaceframes), the prototype made its competitive debut at Silverstone on July 5th 1952. Driven by Michael Allen, Colin Chapman and Nigel Allen, the diminutive two-seater scored three second places across a series of handicap events. Indeed, such was its performance that well-known club racer Phil Desoutter placed an immediate order for a production version securing it with a £100 deposit!Returning to Silverstone on 26th July, ‘XML 6’ finished third in the Ladies’ Handicap with Colin Chapman’s fiancée Hazel Williams behind the wheel. Michael Allen was entered by ‘Ecurie Lotus’ for the International Daily Mail 100-Mile Sportscar Race organised by the West Essex Car Club at Boreham on 2nd August and ran in practice the previous day. Unfortunately, his journey to the Essex circuit on race day was curtailed by a run-in with a Co-operative bread van. Contemporary reports suggest that Allen emerged pretty much unscathed, while his girlfriend Pauline suffered some minor bruising. Nevertheless, ‘XML 6’ was deemed a ‘write-off’. The subsequent £800 pay out enabled the Lotus Engineering Company to not only pay off all its debts but also commission the construction of the first commercial MkVI chassis.Fed-up with Chapman’s tendency to over-promise and under deliver to customers, Michael Allen quit the company as did his brother Nigel who re-focused on his dentistry. Undeterred, Chapman set-up the Lotus Engineering Co Ltd in September 1952 with himself, Hazel and Stanley as directors. The damaged ‘XML 6’ was returned to the road and campaigned by Nigel and Michael Allen throughout 1953 albeit with an 1172cc Ford engine aboard. It is unclear whether the car was reincarnated with a new chassis / body unit or whether Michael prevailed on his brother who had built the Prototype’s structure initially to repair it.The Prototype left Lotus’ inner circle via a January 1954 Autosport magazine advert. Known to have passed through the hands of Dick Manwaring and Frank Nicholls (who later founded Elva), the latter raced ‘XML 6’ at Goodwood in the March 1954 Members’ Meeting. Owned and campaigned by John Woolfe towards the decade’s end, the Prototype entered the late Graham Nearn’s ownership during the early 1970s. Famous as the man who saved the Lotus Seven by acquiring the design rights to it from Colin Chapman in 1973, Nearn was a true motorsport enthusiast. The proprietor of Caterham Car Sales & Coachworks, and the father of the Caterham Seven, Nearn had ‘XML 6’ restored back to its original specification complete with a 1.5 litre Ford engine.Graham Nearn loaned several cars from his collection to the British Motor Museum for display purposes in 2003 including the famous MkVI prototype. Interestingly, Lotus’ sales literature for 1953 mentions that customers can buy ‘a replica of the successful MkVI sports car’ which could be read to imply that ‘XML 6’ was the only true MkVI with all the circa 110 subsequent versions being replicas (in much the same way that Frazer-Nash marketed ‘Le Mans Replicas’). Little used over the past two decades, the ex-Nigel and Michael Allen machine would doubtless benefit from a degree of recommissioning. Although, the Nearn family report that it has previously run ‘very well’. The diminutive two-seater’s aluminium bodywork proudly bears a number of minor dents and scrapes which attest to its competitive past. The steering wheel is said to be original but the smart Red upholstery is obviously the result of a more modern re-trim.It is difficult to overstate the importance of the MkVI in Lotus’ history. Put simply, it was the model that saw Colin Chapman transition from a highly talented special builder to a recognised motor manufacturer. ‘XML 6’ occupies a unique place in marque lore having been a Works machine, the private car of a Lotus director (Michael Allen) and the property of the Nearn family for five decades. Potentially eligible for a host of prestigious events, the prototype MkVI is surely deserving of a place in another major collection or museum.

Registration No: NSY 228 Chassis No: HBT7/9376 MOT: ExemptFinished in Colorado Red and White with a Red interior trimUK RHD example with matching engine and chassis numbersOffered with a BMHIT Heritage Certificate and a collection of invoicesFull weather equipmentThe star of the 1952 London Motor Show, the 'Big Healey' enjoyed steady development, with the early four-cylinder cars giving way to the 100-Six in 1956, which in turn was replaced by the first of the 3000s in 1959. By now the engine capacity had risen to 2912cc and the power output to 124bhp - sufficient to grace the standard car with a 0-60mph time of 11.4 seconds and a top speed of 114mph. There was the option of Laycock de Normanville overdrive for the four-speed gearbox and braking had been improved by the adoption of discs at the front. There were two body options - a two-seater (BN7) or an occasional four-seater (BT7). By the time the MkI 3000 was superseded by the MkII in 1961, a total of 2,825 BN7s and 10,825 BT7s had been produced.Recorded by the DVLA as first registered in the UK on 21st February 1961, chassis number HBT7/9376 is the ‘BT7’ 2+2 iteration of the Austin-Healey MkI. Believed to be a correct numbers car, with engine number 29D/R/YH14777, a BMIHT certificate shows the Healey to have been configured in right-hand drive for the home market in Colorado Red and Black with Red trim and a Black soft-top. Built 10th -11th May 1960, it was despatched on 24th May 1960 to Lankester's Limited, Surbiton, Surrey (then 're-despatched' 20th February 1961) with overdrive, wire wheels, heater, laminated windscreen and road speed tyres. Little is clear about the ownership history before c.1989, however, a Mr Boxall of Solihull owned the car around this time and oversaw restoration work on the Healey in late 1989 into the summer of 1990. A May 1991 sales invoice is on file from Anthony Coyne Classic Cars, Birmingham regarding the sale of the car to Mr Stenning of Bolton, and in February 1998 Grundy Mack Classic Cars, Huddersfield sold the car to Mr Howard of Rotherham with the mileage of 25,928 recorded on an invoice. H&H Classic Auctions presented the car at auction on 23rd September 1998.In summary, maintenance work on 'NSY 228' includes: October 1989 - July 1990 £4668.33 spent on restoration work including bodywork, respray, re-chroming and parts and labour; May 1992 brake fettling and a leaf spring by T & W Motors of Bolton; June 1992 (mileage reading 20,207) brake overhaul Barcol Auto Centre, Oldham; June 1993 brake and clutch master cylinder purchased from AH Spares; March 1998 silencer fitted by Swift-Fit, Rotherham. Evidently, the Healey relocated to the Republic of Ireland in May 1999 before coming back to UK ownership in 2015. Offered with a collection of old MOT paperwork and a number of Eire tax and insurance discs, there is a current V5C on file along with many receipts and notes from some of the historical work carried-out.

Registration No: RVT 728L Chassis No: 1284785 MOT: ExemptPrevious automatic transmission overhaulOriginal Cherry Red leather upholstery, tax disc holder and rear window stickerHolley carburettor and stainless steel exhaustRecent attention paid to the braking system and fitted with a refurbished steering rackIntroduced at the October 1971 Earls Court Motor Show, the Jensen Interceptor III shared the same striking Vignale-penned sheet metal and advanced tubular-chassis frame as its predecessors, but was readily distinguishable by its cast headlight surrounds, GKN alloy wheels and comprehensively revamped interior. Initially powered by a Chrysler 6.3-litre V8 engine, the model was soon upgraded with an even larger 7.2-litre unit. Boasting Torque-Flite three-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel disc brakes as standard, the 2+2-seater Coupe was both impressively refined and seriously quick. Indeed, the 7.2-litre versions were reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds and 140mph. The model was bought by celebrities as diverse as Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, golfer Peter Butler, British Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington and World Motorcycle Champion Phil Read. Of the 2,477 Interceptor IIIs made, just 703 were 128-series cars. Beautifully finished in Gunmetal Metallic with original Cherry Red leather upholstery, chassis number 128-4785 displays 53,200 miles which the previous owner warranted. Accruing an average of 8,000 miles per annum up until 1977, the Jensen was then used more sparingly; with only 500 miles added to its odometer over the ensuing nine years. In long-term ownership from 1992-2009, `RVT 728L' was featured on the BBC television programme `Top Gear'. Having been fitted with a new Holley four-barrel carburettor and front-to-back stainless-steel exhaust system in recent years, the Jensen has since been thoroughly checked over and treated to a comprehensive automatic gearbox overhaul by Mr Gearbox of Sheffield by a previous owner. The current owner has spent around £3,000 on the Jensen, since its purchase. Work completed, included a new starter motor; replacement alternator; refurbished steering rack and, specifically, 8 hours of work on the brakes, which included new calipers and brake pads. A new radiator header tank was also fitted within the last few months due to the discovery of a small coolant leak which has now been remedied.The Interceptor pleasingly retains its original `Jensen Car Company Ltd' tax disc holder, `Jensen Cars Ltd' rear window sticker, Charles Follett sill plaque and even comes complete with a period fire extinguisher. Providing a serious amount of value-for-money when compared to period rivals such as the Aston Martin V8 and Iso Grifo, this much loved, low-mileage Interceptor is worthy of closer inspection. 'RVT 728L' is owned by a BAFTA winning, British theatre and screen actor. For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430

Registration No: JV 8336 Chassis No: GYK 63 MOT: ExemptPresented in 'garage find' condition having not been seen publicly since the 1970sUnderstood to be in exceptionally well preserved original orderPreviously part of the James H. Farr collectionBelieved to be the sole surviving example supplied with a body coachbuilt by Union Motor Company LtdUnveiled in 1922, the 20hp was a second string to the Rolls-Royce bow – a shorter, more economical sibling to the Silver Ghost which broadened the marque’s reach to span both the very rich and seriously wealthy. Instantly distinguished by its horizontal radiator shutters, the newcomer was constructed around a ladder-frame chassis of 129 inch wheelbase. Power came from a 3,127cc straight-six, OHV monobloc engine mated to a three-speed manual gearbox. Suspension was by semi-elliptic leaf springs all-round. Braking was initially on the rear wheels alone, while steering was by worm and nut. Progressively updated to feature a four-speed gearbox and servo-assisted all-wheel braking, the ‘baby’ Rolls remained in production until 1929, by when some 2,885 examples had vacated the company’s Derby factory. Lighter and more responsive than the Silver Ghost, the 20hp was capable of exceeding 60mph.According to copies of the Rolls Royce chassis cards that are on file, chassis GYK 63 was ordered on 4th September 1926 and delivered to Rootes Limited of Devonshire House Piccadilly on 13th October. The order form states that Rootes were providing their own coachwork and the first private owner was to be Major E.J Burt of 18 Grosvenor Street, Mayfair. According to a letter on file from the RREC, the body Rootes chose for the car was one of only two fabric bodies crafted by the Union Motor Car Company of Debigh Street, Battersea to have been fitted to a Rolls Royce, and it is understood that GYK 63 is the sole survivor. GYK 63 was registered as 'JV 8336' in January 1927 when delivered which is pleasingly retained on the car to this day. Little is known of the history of the car from Major Burt's ownership until around the 1960s, when it was acquired by James H Farr for his private museum in Scotland. The car resided in the museum until the mid 1970s, when the collection was dispersed. Purchased by the current owner along with the 1908 Cadillac in this auction, the car was re-registered with the DVLA and used up until 1997 when it was placed into dry storage. An estimate on file suggests that the interior was retrimmed in 1989. Upon inspection, our impresson was of a surprisingly sound car with its unique fabric body having been preserved remarkably well. The 20hp is sold as a non-runner and we do not believe it has been fired into life for many a year, however, turning the crank handle shows that the engine is free. Sold requiring recommissioning or restoration, 'JV 8336' is surely deserving of a place in another collection.

Registration No: EVC 564 Chassis No: 14689 MOT: ExemptTreated to some £58,000 worth of mechanical work over the past few years by marque specialist Earley EngineeringThe final Speed 25 completed and thus benefiting from the 'short stud' cylinder head and dual exhaust systemUprated with a 3.8:1 final drive ratio for more relaxed high-speed cruisingQuicker in period than a Bentley 4.25 Litre of Lagonda LG6"In the Alvis Speed 25 the makers have produced a car which will delight those who appreciate fast motoring with an ample margin of safety. A very quick response to the accelerator is matched by exceptional steadiness under heavy braking conditions, light and accurate steering, and road holding of that special quality which is so rarely encountered these days" (Speed 25 Road Test, Motorsport 1936). Launched in August 1936, the Alvis Speed 25 SB was designed to take advantage of Britain's rapidly improving road network. Marrying sportscar-like performance to an impressive degree of refinement, the newcomer's sophisticated chassis layout incorporated independent transverse-leaf front suspension, a four-speed all synchromesh gearbox and large-diameter four-wheel drum brakes. Featuring a balanced seven-bearing crankshaft and novel spring-cluster overhead valve gear, its triple SU carburettor fed 3571cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing 108bhp @ 3,800rpm. A notably smooth and flexible unit, it endowed the model with near 100mph performance. Principally bodied by Charlesworth (Sports Saloon / Drophead Coupe) or Cross & Ellis (Tourer), the Alvis Speed 25 stole sales from both the Bentley 4¼ litre and Lagonda LG6 alike. Arriving for 1938, the SC variant brought more power courtesy of a ‘short stud’ cylinder head and (later) dual exhaust system. Running boards were replaced by valances on the 1939 Saloons, while the few cars completed during 1940 boasted a higher compression ratio and engine stabilising tie rods. A total of just 391 cars are thought to have left the Holyhead Road factory with final chassis batch being numbered from 14549 – 14689. According to its accompanying copy build record, Chassis 14689 was fitted with Engine 15173 and clothed as a Sports Saloon by Charlesworth using Body 14748. Notable as the last Speed 25 to emerge prior to the Luftwaffe’s devastating bombing raid on the Alvis Works, it was road registered as ‘EVC 564’ and sold new to R.N. Horton Esq of Nineval Cottage, Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire on 18th October 1940. Thereafter, noted marque historian Wayne Brooks’ research has identified the four-seater as belonging to, or passing through the hands of, the following: E.G. Smith (Rotherham), Bruce L. Earlin (Milford, Pennsylvania), Glen W. Cameron (Chesapeake, Virginia), Jerry W. Brimberry (Albany, Georgia), Graham Bowkett (Wilmette, Illinois), Fred Jenns (Amersham), J. McGill (Beaulieu) and Ing Francesco Criminna (Sicily). Purchased by a friend of the vendor upon its return from Europe in 2018 for the princely sum of £60,000, the Alvis has since benefited from over £58,000 worth of improvement. Predominantly mechanical, the work was carried out by marque specialist Earley Engineering and encompassed a thorough engine overhaul (re-bore, new aluminium cylinder head, fresh big-end bearings / pistons / rings etc), new radiator core, front suspension refurbishment, fuel system flush through, sundry replacement gearbox internals, taller 3.8:1 rear axle ratio (for more relaxed high-speed cruising) and new stainless steel exhaust etc. The headlining was also replaced and some minor bodywork issues sorted. The subsequent subject of a favourable three-page report by Fisher Restoration (a copy of which remains on file), the Speed 25 started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. A lifelong enthusiast, ‘EVC 564’ became the sixth Alvis to join the seller’s stable when his friend fell terminally ill. Driven to and from last year’s Hampton Court Concours d’Elegance and said to be ‘very much on the button’, the Sports Saloon is only being offered for sale because the vendor is about to take delivery of a unique Graber-bodied Rolls-Royce that he has been chasing for decades. A distinctly handsome and imposing car in the metal, it is not hard to see why former custodian Bruce L. Earlin ranked this unique Speed 25 as his favourite ever Alvis (ahead of a 4.3 Litre Short Chassis Vanden Plas Tourer no less) in an article for the Alvis Owners’ Club Bulletin magazine. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737

Registration No: XBL 41E Chassis No: DB6/3048/R MOT: ExemptFinished in Silver complemented to a Black leather interiorMatching chassis and engine numbersCurrent ownership since 2015ZF five-speed manual gearboxOffered with a collection of specialist invoices and old MOT certificatesPLEASE NOTE: The engine number stamped into this lot’s cylinder block – 400/3094 - matches that recorded on its chassis plate. However, we have been informed that the sales ledger records held by Gaydon list the engine number as 400/3034. We presume the discrepancy is as the result of a typographical error. H&H are indebted to Aston Martin historian, Steve Waddingham, for his assistance in this matter.Unveiled at the 1965 London Motor Show, the DB6 was notable for being the first Aston Martin model to be engineered following the company's move from Feltham to Newport Pagnell. Although, a direct development of the DB5, with the same visage, the newcomer enjoyed notably better high-speed stability thanks to the provision of a Kamm tail with built-in spoiler, and superior interior space courtesy of a 3.7-inch longer wheelbase and taller roofline. Grafted over a sheet steel platform chassis, the four-seater's hand-finished aluminium panels helped contribute to the claimed kerb weight of 3,232lbs that was actually only 17lbs heavier than its predecessor. Praised by the contemporary motoring press for its poise and handling, the DB6 employed all-round coil-sprung suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by the fabulous Tadek Marek designed 3995cc DOHC straight-six engine, the model boasted some 282bhp and 280lbft of torque in standard tune and could be had with five-speed ZF manual or three-speed Borg Warner automatic transmission. A contemporary road test found a manual DB6 to be capable of 0-60mph in 7.4 seconds and 150mph. A total of 1,327 MkI Saloons were produced between October 1965 and the MkII's July 1969 arrival. Built to right-hand drive specification complete with the preferred ZF five-speed manual gearbox, chassis DB6/3048/R was supplied new in Berkshire (or so its ‘XBL 41E’ number plate would imply). Re-registered with the DVLA during the late 1980s as it is understood the Aston resided in the USA for a number of years, the DB6 passed to renowned physician and serial Aston Martin owner, W.V. Carlin Esq in early 1992. Entrusted to marque specialist The Aston Workshop for appraisal shortly thereafter, they overhauled the cylinder head as well as rejuvenating the propshaft, brakes and suspension (the latter being uprated with a Harvey Bailey Engineering handling kit and telescopic Koni shock absorbers). Sourced from Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd, new lower sills, door sill panels and stoneguards were installed by Ivydene Garage of Betley in late 1993, while the decade’s end saw another marque specialist - Chris Shenton – fit upgraded Lockheed brake servos, renew the clutch and recondition the steering rack etc at an indicated 19,000 miles. Acquired by fellow Aston Martin enthusiast, T. Burndred Esq., during 2004, he utilised the services of Aston Engineering Ltd not to mention treating ‘XBL 41E’ to a full respray (changing the colour from Black to Silver), partial re-trim and new windscreen etc. Briefly part of Stuart Beech’s collection prior to entering the current ownership in 2015, the DB6 has been maintained by CBR Classic Restorations in recent years. A true marque aficionado, the vendor has owned many of its rarest and most valuable models. Sparingly used over the past three decades and currently showing an unwarranted 23,000 miles to its odometer, this handsome, 'matching numbers' DB6 is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.

Registration No: P522 NOE Chassis No: SA94418004D09834 MOT: June 2025Finished in Indigo Blue complemented to a Tan interior1 owner & just c.2,080 miles from newOffered with original order form, handbook and sales brochureStill retaining the factory chalk marks on the hoodThe Morgan 4/4 was in production for an amazing eighty-three years (1936-2019), a fact that earned both manufacturer and model a place in the Guinness Book of Records. The Malvern Company’s first four-wheeled / four-cylindered design (hence the name), it stayed true to the same tried and tested formula for generations. Unveiled in 1993, the Morgan 4/4 1800 was faster, cleaner and more frugal than many of its predecessors. Based around a box-section ladder-frame chassis equipped with independent 'sliding pillar' front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc / drum hydraulic brakes, the aluminium over ash construction of its bodywork contributed towards a commendably low kerb weight (circa 868kg). Embracing the marque tradition of using proprietary running gear, the newcomer was powered by a Ford-sourced 1796cc four-cylinder ‘Zetec’ engine (complete with fuel-injection and double-overhead camshafts) allied to five-speed manual transmission. Impractical yet beguiling, the 4/4 1800 sported a basic interior, minimal luggage space and potentially argumentative hood offset by a singularly involving driving experience and vivid acceleration.Finished in Indigo Blue complemented to a Tan interior, the 4/4 is a one owner example with just c.2,080 miles from new and still retaining factory chalk marks on the hood. The vendor had to wait nearly a decade for the Ford powered Morgan once the order form had been submitted. Offered with that original order form through Mike Duncan Morgan agents, it is evident that 'P522 NOE' was ordered in Indigo Blue with Stone trim piped with Blue, featuring Blue carpet with Stone piping and a walnut dashboard; the vendor collected the car from the factory. Accompanied by a collection of old MOT paperwork, the aforementioned original order form, handbook and sales brochure, it is offered with the current V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: YY 890 Chassis No: S10207 MOT: ExemptRare and desirable factory-bodied T5 TourerExtensive history file dating back to 1949Treated to overhauls of its engine, gearbox, clutch, radiator and instruments during the current ownershipPreviously valued at £70,000Appealing 'knocked back' patina"Silence and smoothness of running have been combined with performance in the new 16/80 Lagonda to an extent not hitherto achieved in any of these very fine cars ..... The new machine is a delight on the open road for its acceleration, its road-holding and cornering" (Autocar, September 1932)Introduced in August 1932, the 16/80 S-Type Special Six was aimed at the moderate horsepower, six-cylinder sportscar market as typified by Alfa Romeo's 6C 1750. Based on the chassis of its 2-litre 'Continental' forbear, the new Lagonda model employed Crossley's proprietary 1991cc, straight-six OHV engine in a well-balanced, leaf-sprung, ladder-framed chassis. Equipped with all-round drum brakes, the 16/80 (named after its RAC horsepower rating and top speed respectively) could be ordered with either a manual or pre-selector four-speed gearbox. Arriving at Staines fully assembled, each engine was nonetheless stripped down, measured (blueprinting of a sort) and modified with better water porting arrangements etc. Despite being extremely well built and not overpriced just 74 of the 267 16/80s sold are currently known to the Lagonda Club.An original, factory-bodied ‘T5’ Tourer, chassis S10207 was first issued with the London registration number ‘YY 980’ on October 1st 1932. The earlier of two continuation logbooks on file shows that the Lagonda had migrated to Oxfordshire and the custodianship of Charles Tremlett by 1949. Thereafter, it is known to have belonged to Geoffrey Thomas (Malvern), Arthur Kerr (East Molesey), Edward Dearling (Sunbury-on-Thames) and Warner Baxter (Tolworth) before being bought by Kenneth Hill (Mitcham) on 12th March 1961 for the princely sum of £135. Having paid the equivalent of nine weeks’ wages for the 16/80, the latter managed to extract fifty years’ service from it. A serial Lagonda owner, the vendor purchased ‘YY 980’ from Mr Hill precisely because of its careworn appearance and self-evident originality. Keen to improve the Tourer’s mechanical condition he embarked upon a series of works between 2012 and 2014 that saw attention paid to the engine, Z-type gearbox, clutch, radiator and instruments. Gosnay’s Engineering Company Ltd of Romford reground the crankshaft, converted the big-ends to shell bearings, renewed the main bearings, re-bored / refaced the block and removed the old cylinder head studs. They also supplied new JE pistons and steel con-rods, while EDS of Norwich crack / pressure tested and refaced the cylinder head as well as installing new core plugs, valve seat inserts and valve guides etc. Having reassembled the straight-six himself, the vendor tackled the gearbox and clutch sourcing a variety of new parts from The Lagonda Club. The radiator was professionally refurbished as were several of the instruments. The block and sump were returned to Gosnay’s during 2020 to cure the leaking rear crankshaft seal but the repair was only a partial success. Starting readily upon inspection, the 16/80 has seen scant use in the last couple of years and would thus benefit from some recommissioning. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, 2017 marque specialist valuation for £70,000 and maintenance / MOT history dating back sixty-three years.

Registration No: Y12 WMC Chassis No: SCBCE63W44C020583 MOT: March 2025Warranted 46,758 miles from newFour former keepers from newSubject to much recent expenditure including work to the gearbox in 2021Offered with documented service history and cherished registration number ‘Y12 WMC’Introduced at the 2003 Geneva Salon, the Continental GT was the most technologically advanced Bentley in generations. Powered by the marque's first all-new engine since 1959, its twin-turbocharged 5998cc W12 was allied to six-speed ZF Tiptronic transmission. With a quoted 552bhp and 479lbft of torque on tap plus Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive, the 2+2-seater GT was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 198mph. A deft blend of muscularity and elegance, the two-door coupe's lines were the work of Dirk Van Braekel. Equipped with sophisticated independent suspension and ventilated ABS disc brakes all-round, the Continental GT proved an accomplished transcontinental express. Responsible for broadening Bentley's appeal in a way that no predecessor could match, the Continental GT's future classic status is assured.First registered on the 1st April 2004 and delivered by Jack Barclay Ltd of London, 'Y12 WMC' was specified in the attractive colour scheme of Dark Sapphire Blue over a Cream Leather interior. There is a total of 16 services (the early ones Bentley main dealer and then a number of Bentley specialists thereafter) stamped across two service books plus a stack of invoices for other repairs including gearbox work in 2021 within the extensive history file and the odometer displayed just 46,758 miles at the time of consignment. With four previous keepers displayed on the V5C, the vendor acquired the Bentley on the 3rd March 2023 from Hayes Cars of Felstead, Essex and only one month later changed both rear tyres for the correct Pirelli tyres. Having only used 'Y12 WMC' for 2,500 miles for social occassions, the vendor advises that the car is mechanically 'very good' thanks to its extensive maintenance history, with the bodywork and paintwork in 'very good' condition for the age with only one noticeable dent on the driver's side rear wing noticeable. Sold with two sets of keys and a car cover purchased by the vendor, this Bentley Continental GT will offer any prospective buyer unrivalled luxury and performance with the powerful W12 engine.

Registration No: LJJ 736D Chassis No: M-AB1-861940 MOT: ExemptRecent restoration at a cost of over £20,000New body shell from Moke Panels and all panels zinc coatedFinished in the original shade of Spruce GreenThe utilitarian Moke (slang for Donkey) was conceived as a light military vehicle and, codenamed ‘The Buckboard’, was tested by all three branches of the armed forces. However, its relatively low ground clearance ruled it out of most combat situations and its forte was as a beach buggy in such popular holiday destinations as the Seychelles and the Caribbean. Some 50,000 examples were manufactured all told - UK production ran from 1964 to 1968, while they were also built in Australia, Portugal and Italy. The monocoque shell comprised a pair of box-section pontoons connected by the floorpan and firewall. Engine, gearbox, suspension etc. were standard Mini components, making for economical service and repair. Most of the 14,518 British Mokes incorporated Mini MkI running gear but the later ones (1967-68) utilised Mk2 parts. However, of the 5,422 Austin and 9,096 Morris versions made a mere ten percent or so were 'home market' supplied.This stunning first series Moke has just emerged from a comprehensive restoration costing in excess of £20,000 which was based around a new shell sourced from Moke Panels. All panels have been zinc coated and the vendor advises it has been completed to original specification as detailed on the accompanying BMIHT Heritage Certificate. A RHD Home Market model originally finished in Spruce Green with a Green vinyl interior, this Moke was built on 5th April 1966 and despatched to dealer Stewart & Ardern Ltd of Croydon on 15th April 1966. Registered under the London registration ‘LJJ 736D’ it had been specified with front and rear passenger seats, Weathermaster tyres, sump guard and no heater. Found in a derelict state by the vendor, its subsequent restoration included the following new parts; fuel tank and pump, brake lines and pipes, brake shoes & cylinders front and rear, brake back plates, drive shaft gators, steering rack gators & track rod ends, clutch & brake master cylinders, wiring loom, regulator, relays, cables, steel seats with matching green covers, tyres & hubcaps and new hood. In addition, the wheels were sandblasted and finished in OEW, the subframe sandblasted and overhauled whilst the engine was overhauled with cylinders honed and new rings fitted. All works were carried out in 2023 and only c.100 miles have been covered since completion. This painstakingly restored example is worthy of close inspection.

Registration No: LJF 172F Chassis No: ABS11-13025 MOT: ExemptVery rare Westminster MkII Deluxe with power steering and Borg Warner automatic transmissionHighly credible 55,000 miles displayed on the odometerMaintained very well with large collection of invoices present in the history fileOffered with dating certificate, handbook, workshop manual and collection of sparesSubject to a recent carburettor overhaul by SUAfter Pinin Farina's successful redesign of the A40, Austin's larger cars duly received attention from the Italian carrozzeria, the first of these - the Austin A55 Cambridge MkII - appearing in 1959. Also badged as a Morris, MG, Riley and Wolseley, the newcomer retained the 1½-litre B-Series engine of its predecessor beneath completely new bodywork sporting controversial tail fins. Further up the range and introduced at the same time was the similarly styled and relatively luxurious Austin A99 Westminster (and other-marque equivalents), which was powered by a 2.9-litre overhead-valve C-Series six producing 103bhp and driving via a new three-speed, all-synchromesh, overdrive gearbox with column-mounted shift. In the autumn of 1961 the Westminster was updated as the A110, the wheelbase being stretched by 2" and engine power increased to 120bhp. The final MkII version, introduced in 1964, featured a new four-speed 'box with floor change and optional overdrive while Borg-Warner Type 35 automatic transmission became available for the first time. First registered on 16th July 1967, 'LJF 172F' was ordered in Arianca Beige over Satin Beige with the expensive options of an automatic gearbox and power-assisted steering. Supplied new by Lathams Limited of Leicester to local business AA Jones & Shipman, the Austin boasts a complete ownership record. Invoices for work done date back to the 2010s and encompass the fitment of a new stainless steel exhaust and windscreen in 2011, a full engine overhaul in 2013 and a new power steering box in 2016. The vendor acquired the car in 2020 and has treated it to further extensive works including a repaint in 2022 and rejuvenated carburettors earlier this year with supporting invoices for each on file. Now offered for sale because the vendor finds his increasing years are making him less and less inclined to drive, he advises the car is ‘mechanically in very good condition for its age’ and that ‘the bodywork is also very good and would be excellent were it not for a small amount of bubbling to the bottom of the offside front wing’. A genuinely rare survivor and easy to drive thanks to its top period specification, 'LJF 172F' comes with a number of small spares, original jack, two driver’s handbooks, workshop manual and gorgeous period BMC advertising literature.

Registration No: 6069 RW Chassis No: 206E/311835 MOT: August 2024Rare Farnham estate conversion on the top-of-the-range Zodiac modelThe subject of recent works including an interior re-trim, full engine overhaul and radiator recoreSolid, on the road example that would prove a rewarding project after some cosmetic attentionThe Zodiac name was first seen on a Ford at the 1953 Earls Court Motor Show. From day one it denoted the top of the range model – above its siblings, the Consul and Zephyr. The trio were completely restyled in 1956 with a transatlantic influence to suit changing tastes away from the drab taste of 1950s Britain, with tail fins and two-tone paint schemes being the order of the day. The newcomers were quite a bit larger than their predecessors and with bench seats front and rear, would comfortably seat up to six adults. The six cylinder in-line engines of the range were increased in capacity to 2553cc to give an output of 86bhp. This was sufficient to allow a top speed of almost 90mph – lively performance for the period. The engine was either paired with a three-speed, column-change manual gearbox (for which overdrive was an option) or a Borg Warner automatic unit. Suspension was independent at the front with MacPherson struts and coil springs and a live axle at the rear suspended on semi-elliptic leaf springs. Braking was initially by drums all round, but front discs became optional in 1960 and standard in 1961. The rising demand for an estate car was fulfilled by the coachbuilder, ED Abbott Limited of Farnham, Surrey who created attractive small scale versions of the grand station wagons from across the pond using an unfinished saloon supplied direct from Ford and were the most expensive Ford available at the time. Relatively few of these grand estates have survived due to having a harder life than their saloon siblings and good examples are now highly prized.Understood to have been supplied as a top-of-the range Farnham Estate conversion of a MkII Zodiac fitted with overdrive, '6069 RW' was first registered in the UK in 1961 in the Coventry area and pleasingly retains its original registration number. Little is known of the early history of the car, however, this rare survivor was purchased by a previous owner through auction after a lengthy period of lay-up with extensive recommissioning needed and in a rather sorry cosmetic state. The vendor purchased the car in 2020 and it was noted that much of this work had been completed, including welding of the sills, underside, front and rear valances and door bottoms. Mechanically however, it was noted that further remedial work was required and the vendor set about a complete overhaul of the six-cylinder power unit and a radiator recore.The vendor is well versed in the maintenance of classic vehicles and has kept on top of this himself and has regularly used the car for shows. Now, the car is in a solid state with all structural issues taken care of, however according to the vendor "does require further cosmetic attention" to the paint and bodywork. When the vendor bought the car, the original leather work had nearly disintegrated fully and the vendor made the decision to re-trim the seats, dashtop and door cards in Beige leather which provides a very pleasant experience to any driver or passenger. If you are looking for one of these rare, transatlantic-styled estates and like to tinker, this presents an opportunity for a rewarding project that can be enjoyed thanks to the hard work being done.

Registration No: 7 CVX Chassis No: 726324DN MOT: ExemptA later M version of the MkVII featuring manual transmission with overdriveCurrent ownership since 2011An ideal candidate for restorationSupplied new by Henleys of LondonStill retaining its Essex county council registration numberThe MkVII Jaguar was launched at the 1950 London Motor Show. A big, confident-looking four-door sports Saloon, it was a clever blend of old and new. Old, was the chassis, which was borrowed from the outgoing MkV model. New, was the streamlined body featuring fully integrated headlights, removable rear-wheel spats and a two-piece, V-shaped windscreen. Gone too was the MkV's pre-war engine and in its place came a 160bhp 3.4-litre version of Jaguar's stunning new DOHC XK straight-six unit. Manufactured from 1954-1956, the MkVII M boasted a further 30bhp and a top speed of almost 105mph. The newcomer was most easily distinguished by the chrome intake grilles beneath the headlights.Supplied new by Henleys of London and still retaining its Essex county council registration number, this later M version and built in 1955 and possesses manual transmission with overdrive and is a running and driving example that appears to be unrestored and very original. Now requiring some level of restoration, perhaps in the form of an eligible St Mary's Trophy Goodwood Revival race car or the likes of competing in the Mille Miglia? With Black paintwork and a Red leather interior, ‘7 CVX’ has been in current ownership since 2011 and in previous ownership from 1991 to 2011. It is being offered with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate along with the original handbook, copies of Jaguar articles, old MOT certificates, an old logbook plus a current V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: BD 371 Chassis No: 24850 MOT: ExemptPresented in 'garage find' condition having not been seen publicly since the 1970sUnderstood to be in exceptionally well preserved original orderPreviously part of the James H. Farr collectionPresented with original UK registration number and showing only one keeper since 1938Known history within single-cylinder Cadillac circles and presented with a period photographThe first Cadillac, the Model A was launched at the New York Motor Show in 1903. Three cars were finished in time for the show, and by the time it was closed, all three were sold at the show and by mid-week orders had been taken for 2,286 further units, each one requiring a deposit of 10 Dollars. Designed initially as a two-seater 'horseless carriage', the Cadillac was at first powered by a 10hp single cylinder engine developed by Alanson Partridge Brush that was renowned for reliability and the car was built by the Leland and Falconer Manufacturing company of Detroit, Michigan. The hardy single cylinder Cadillac was continued even when the company began building four-cylinder models, which culminated in the Model S and Model T of 1908, for which there was little difference between the two other than the Model T lacked running boards. The Model S and T replaced the Model K and Model M with the main difference being an extension in wheelbase to 82 inches. In 1909, the single cylinder Cadillac was discontinued when it was decided to standardise the range with the four-cylinder Model 30.Understood to have been built in 1908, according to the VCC dating letter on file, 'BD 371' is thought to have been imported to the UK by Cadillac concessionaires, F.S Bennett when new. Little is known of the early history of the car, apart from a photograph dated to the 1920s which was recently shown to us via the internet. According to the buff log book on file, in 1938 the car was owned by a Mr Richard Baiwwie. It is thought that shortly afterwards that Mr James H Farr, who owned the Wardie garage in Ediburgh until the 1960s, purchased the car as part of his private museum. Mr Farr is understood to have kept the Cadillac until the mid-1970s, when the car is understood to have been purchased by the current owner, Mr Lapwood, from an auction for Mr Farr's estate - which also included the Rolls Royce 20hp which is also offered for sale at the Duxford Imperial War Museum. Sold to the current owner as a 1904 model, there are some humourous letters on file from the late 1970s demanding the reimbursement of his investment - but for whatever reason Mr Lapwood kept the car for many years afterwards. An MOT on file suggests the car was running as recently as 1980, however the car has been off the road for a number of years and is now in need of recommissioning or restoration. Unfortunately, Mr Lapwood's health has deteoriated to the point where his family have now decided to sell the collection of vehicles that he has, as he is unable to manage them himself.Upon our inspection, we noted that the bodywork appeared very solid and that the storage garage was notably dry and has thankfully preserved the car very well indeed. The wheels roll freely and the engine also is unseized. Sold strictly as viewed on a No Reserve basis, 'BD 371' is the perfect opportunity for mild recommissioning and is eligible for a number of VCC events.

Registration No: CTY 917V Chassis No: 2W87K9L143975 MOT: ExemptOnly two owners since 1984, both keeping the car in carpeted garagesExtensively improved mechanically in the ‘Resto-Mod’ style, keeping the bodywork and interior as originalEstimated £15,000 worth of parts expenditure aloneMatching chassis and engine numbersNow surely the best driving Trans Am extant!As far as iconic movie cars go there are few more instantly recognisable than the Pontiac Firebird from the 1977 film 'Smokey and the Bandit'. The Firebird was one of the jewels of GM’s crown and enjoyed a thirty-five year production run, with the Trans Am immediately bringing memories of tyre smoke, nostalgia, and CB radio handles. With the first iteration developed as direct competition for the ubiquitous Ford Mustang, with the concept of being a striking, front-engined, rear-wheel drive muscle car, very much continuing throughout its production, as did the ability to spec your Firebird with a plethora of options. In 1969, the Firebird saw the introduction of the Trans Am 'performance' and 'appearance' packages as factory options which included power, handling, and suspension upgrades as well as a more exclusive paint schemes and some styling accoutrements. Named after the American race series, the Trans Am name would continue to feature throughout the car’s lifespan.Manufactured in 1979, the Trans Am offered is a matching chassis and engine numbers example with the 6.6 -litre V8 403ci engine. An original T-top car, it was supplied new to California, however only remained there for a year before reaching UK shores in 1980. Purchased by the vendor in 2006 from a previous owner who had owned the Trans Am since 1984, the vendor embarked on extensive enhancements in the ‘Resto-Mod’ ethos, keeping the bodywork and interior as original with a view to making the best driving Trans Am in the country. With around £15,000 of expenditure on parts alone, some of the parts supplied have included bespoke 18-inch two-piece YearOne alloy wheels with Michelin pilot sport four tyres, B&M shifter, cold case aluminium radiator, Powermaster starter motor and alternator, K&N air filter, Taylor ignition leads, Edelbrock intake manifold and cam, NGK spark plugs, Moroso valve covers, American Racing headers, bespoke exhaust system hand made using a Pypes X-Pipe and Karnage mufflers, and Ridetech adjustable front and rear shocks and steering kit. Extensive Detroit Speed parts have been supplied too with body bushes, sway bar, front and rear springs, upper and lower A-Arms, and camber kit all fitted, and finally the Trans Am received an Optima Red Top battery, all hoses replaced, and the underside Waxoyled.The original Tan cloth interior has been complemented by a Kenwood head unit with CD changer and has been fitted with new door rubbers. Boasting lots of original features, the Firebird has its original spare wheel and jacking kit, T-top bags, boot matting, and has an uncracked dashboard, likely due to living in the United Kingdom since being a year old. The glovebox has been signed by Richard Rawlings of Gas Monkey Garage and Fast N' Loud fame with a photo of the signing. Completing tours of Amsterdam, Belgium and Wales during the vendor’s ownership, the vendor notes the car has been totally reliable and all the gauges work. Offered with a history file that includes a large collection of invoices for maintenance at AutoPontiac, numerous previous MOT certificates supporting the c.88,000 miles as genuine, many other invoices and a current V5C document. Epitomising the ‘Resto-Mod’ ethos significantly improving the drive while keeping the bodywork and interior original, the vendor believes he has created the best driving Trans Am in the country, and the Pontiac started readily and drove excellently during our recent photography session.

Registration No: 1611 H Chassis No: MKVI 9 MOT: Exempt‘Works demonstrator’ for Lotus, completed in July 1953Famously raced by Colin Chapman at Goodwood in-periodLoaned to various magazines in-period as a demonstrator, including Autocar, Autosport and Motor magazinesFitted with a 1508cc Ford Consul engineEntered from the estate of the late Graham NearnArguably the second most historically significant MkVI (after the prototype), ‘1611 H’ found fame as the first Lotus Works Demonstrator. Driven to victory at the BARC Goodwood meeting on 25th July 1953 by none other than Colin Chapman, the two-seater continued its winning ways that summer at Thruxton and Silverstone etc. Utilising lessons learnt from earlier cars, its spaceframe structure - built by John Teychenne and David Kelsey’s newly formed Progress Chassis Company – incorporated revised front suspension geometry and a stronger Panhard Rod mount. As part of the initial batch of MkVI cars, ‘1611 H’ was individually bodied by Williams & Pritchard and so differed in minor detail from its siblings (nosecone profile etc). Not content with the copy its race results had generated, Chapman loaned the Works Demonstrator to Autocar, Autosport and Motor magazines for road testing purposes during 1953 and 1954 with the latter publication describing it as ‘that preposterously fast Lotus’. An article in Road & Track prompted Stateside interest, while other MkVIs sold to Canada and Australia. Further notable as the car which started Gerard ‘Jabby’ Crombac’s love affair with the marque, the renowned Swiss motor racing journalist and author bought ‘1611 H’ from Chapman in 1954. Relocating to France, the Lotus went racing once more before being supplanted by an Eleven. Repatriated to the UK, the MkVI was bought by the founder of Caterham Cars, the late Graham Nearn. Recognising the Works Demonstrator’s importance he had it restored. Loaned to The British Motor Museum at Gaydon for several years, ‘1611 H’ is still owned by the Nearn family. Upgraded with a Ford Consul 1500cc engine during its refurbishment, the Lotus has been on static display as part of their collection in recent years. As such, it would benefit from sympathetic recommissioning prior to a return to road or track usage. Pictured in many of the company’s earliest brochures / flyers and a former Goodwood race winner, ‘1611 H’ is a milestone car in Lotus history with concrete links to Chapman, Crombac and Nearn. Surely worthy of a place in another collection, it is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.

Registration No: BF 4385 Chassis No: 16/2639/20 MOT: ExemptSupplied new to Lady Sara Campbell, the second daughter of ex-pat New Zealand runholder, politician and racehorse owner William 'Ready Money' RobinsonRepatriated to the UK during 2007Treated to over £100,000 worth of renovation and improvement work by renowned specialists McKenzie Guppy since entering the current ownership in 2015An exceptional Vintage example of a well-regarded Edwardian designHaving cut his teeth at De Dion-Bouton, Clement, Panhard et Levassor, Humber and Hillman, Louis Coatelen joined Sunbeam in February 1909. A keen advocate of the ‘Race on Sunday, Sell on Monday’ philosophy, his first design for the Wolverhampton marque – the 14/20 - distinguished itself on the 1909 RAC ‘Ten Pound Note’ Trial (averaging 21.3mpg over the 100-mile road section and 56.65mph around Brooklands) and the 1909 Scottish Six Days’ Trial (finishing 2nd-in-class). Sharing Henry Royce’s aversion to proprietary parts, Coatelen ensured that ‘his’ Sunbeams were soon renowned for the quality and innovative nature of their engineering. Introduced in 1910, the 12/16 model gained a larger 3016cc four-cylinder monobloc engine the following October. Hailed as a class leader thanks to its sump-mounted oil pump, shaft drive, four-speed manual gearbox and efficient rear-wheel brakes, the newcomer could be had with open or closed coachwork. Proving a redoubtable staff car during World War One (with Rover building a version under licence), the 12/16 evolved into the Sixteen when hostilities ceased. A strong seller despite its lofty price tag, approximately 2,050 were made. Selected by the Automobile Association to evaluate the relative merits of benzol in 1919, a Sunbeam Sixteen thus fuelled covered 10,000 miles over sixty-two days (averaging 24.57mpg). Stripped after testing, its engine showed no appreciable signs of wear. Afterwards the car was sold to a gentleman in Wiltshire who wrote to the factory some five years later to inform them that it had covered 100,000 miles with minimal attention and never let him down! According to its accompanying 1920s registration certificate, chassis 16/2639/20 was supplied new to Lady Sara Campbell, the second daughter of ex-pat New Zealand runholder, politician and racehorse owner William 'Ready Money' Robinson. Correspondence on file records that Lady Campbell kept the Sunbeam until her death in 1927 whereupon it passed through the hands of J. Brown, F. Tozer and H.L. Boyd before being acquired in a dilapidated state by J.B. Loughnan during 1960. He got as far as commissioning a new aluminium body but the restoration was completed by Dudley Kitson who took possession in 1982 and subsequently used the Sixteen on a number of South Island Rallies (clocking up c.3,000 miles per event). Imported to the UK around 2007, the Tourer formed part of a small Sunbeam collection prior to entering the current ownership in 2015. Despite having undertaken numerous Club tours to Ireland, Wales and Yorkshire, the vendor found ‘BF 4385’ to be subpar mechanically and so entrusted it to McKenzie Guppy. Although better known for their work on WO Bentleys and pre-WW2 Rolls-Royces, the Dorset-based engineering firm were more than up to fettling the engine, gearbox, clutch, steering, front / rear axles, suspension, fuel system and electrical equipment etc (bills amassed during 2015-2016 total some £96,000). Treated to a further £12,000 worth of expenditure in 2022, it is hard to imagine that there is a better sorted Sixteen extant? Fitted with hood, sidescreens and an Auster screen, this elegant Vintage Tourer is deemed by the seller as being in ‘good’ (interior trim, paintwork), ‘very good’ (bodywork) or ‘excellent’ (engine, gearbox, electrical equipment) condition. Offered for sale with history file containing correspondence, assorted MOTs, copy instruction book and copy spares listing.

Registration No: P293 YGJ Chassis No: SCAZA12C3VCH59307 MOT: May 2025Just 17,500 miles from new1 of just 237 Silver Dawns produced and a believed unique Springfield interiorHighly original and very nicely presented conditionIn current family ownership since 2002 with just two previous keepersEntered from a significant private collectionDebuting in America during 1994, but not available to other markets including Britain until the following year, the ‘New' Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn was among the final variants to be spun from the accomplished but long-serving Silver Spirit platform. A late hurrah before BMW assumed control, the newcomer was based around the Crewe concern's familiar four-door monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round independent suspension, adaptive ride control, power steering and ABS four-wheel disc brakes. Benefiting from Bosch Motronic fuel injection and digital ignition, its smooth 6750cc OHV V8 engine was allied to a four-speed automatic transmission. Available with a bewildering array of options not to mention Rolls-Royce's bespoke `tailoring' service, the ‘New' Silver Dawn remained in production until 1998. Expensive yet exclusive as befits the ‘World's Best Motor Car', just 237 are thought to have been made.Manufactured in 1997, the Silver Dawn offered was finished from the factory in Red Pearl over Silica paintwork with Silica fine lines, the Dawn was specified with the Springfield interior trim that was available at the time on limited edition Silver Spurs to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Rolls-Royce manufacturing cars at Springfield, Massachusetts, and is believed unique on a Silver Dawn. Constituting Chesterfield quilted buttoned style seats, door armrests, and door panels, the interior is trimmed in Magnolia hide upholstery, Sahara carpets, and Parchment hide headlining. In addition, the interior features cocktail requisites, picnic tables with enclosed storage/laptop receptacles, and a rear armrest bottle cooler compartment.Registered new as ‘30 PC’ on the 8th of January 1997, the Rolls-Royce had two keepers and covered the majority of its mileage during the first five years of its life. Purchased by the vendor's late father from Straight Eight Rolls-Royce and Bentley in the New Forest in 2002 as an addition to their significant private collection, chassis ‘59307’ had covered just 15,950 miles from new at this time. Pressed into gentle use during the first year of ownership, the Dawn was provided with a speedometer change later in 2002 (by Rolls-Royce Knutsford) at 16,415 miles and thereafter has only covered extremely minimal mileage as part of the collection. With just 17,600 miles from new (1,214 miles on the new odometer), this is an exceptionally low mileage example.Supplied with a history file, it includes the original owner’s manual, stamped service book, a selection of previous MOT certificates, an MOT certificate until May 2025, sundry paperwork, and a current V5C document. Provided with a fresh service for the sale by Rolls-Royce specialists Bowling Ryan (at the end of May 2025), the Rolls-Royce started and ran well during our photography session. This highly original, very well presenting and already rare Silver Dawn is particularly special, with its Chesterfield style Springfield interior, low mileage and ownership.

Registration No: EC 6810 Chassis No: GSK44 MOT: ExemptIn current family ownership since 1998Offered with original brown logbook and current V5C documentFeatured in the Harry Potter prequel film 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' (2018)Fitted with the current Barker Sedanca de Ville coachwork c.2003 Unveiled in 1922, the 20hp was a second string to the Rolls-Royce bow – a shorter, more economical sibling to the Silver Ghost which broadened the marque’s reach to span both the very rich and seriously wealthy and was instantly distinguished by its horizontal radiator shutters. Power came from a 3,127cc straight-six, OHV monobloc engine mated to a three-speed manual gearbox. Braking was initially on the rear wheels alone. Progressively updated to feature a four-speed gearbox and servo-assisted all-wheel braking, the ‘baby’ Rolls remained in production until 1929, by when some 2,885 examples had vacated the company’s Derby factory. Lighter and more responsive than the Silver Ghost, the 20hp was capable of exceeding 60mph.Original clothed as a Saloon by Watson's of Hamilton Square, Birkenhead, ‘EC 6810’ was found under arches in Liverpool’s South Docks in 1954, after service with a funeral business in the city. Needing a gearbox repair, Rolls-Royce replied to a request for the bill, “Mr Williams, Rolls-Royce gearboxes don’t fail” – and that was it! Even negotiating trips into Lakeland and the fells on several occasions, in 1959 a barn roof fell onto it was sold to a scrap merchant in 1959.More recently, and still surviving, ‘EC 6810’ has been in current family ownership for some 27 years, since 1998, This Sedanca De Ville clothed Rolls Royce 20hp has been fitted with the current Barker Sedanca de Ville coachwork in c.2003. The original saloon body was in a poor state, so the body was removed and replaced when the vendor purchased a 20hp Barker Sedanca De Ville body with fittings in auction.Today, it presents in Maroon with a Beige cloth and Black leather interior and notably, was selected to appear in the Harry Potter prequel film 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' (2018), in part filmed in Liverpool, ‘EC 6810’s’ old home. Mechanically, its has been the subject of a previous engine overhaul. ‘EC 6810’ is being offered with an old brown logbook on file and the current V5C Registration Document.

Registration No: PWR 233P Chassis No: LD357800 MOT: T.B.AUsed by Dennis Waterman in the TV series 'New Tricks'.Attendee at his memorial service alongside the 'Minder' Capri and 'The Sweeney' ConsulAlso featured on screen in 'Murphy's Law', 'The Last Weekend' and 'Midsomer Murders'Uprated with a four-barrel carburettor, higher capacity radiator and bigger bore exhaust etcFinished in BRG with Tan upholstery including a cigarette burn made by the late Mr WatermanIntroduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and servo-backed disc / drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon in order to fashion the initial prototype), the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. Neatly integrated, the substantial roll-over hoop that joined the B-pillars gained extra strength from a T-bar link to the windscreen frame. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Available with a choice of four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission all but the earliest Stags benefited from both hard- and soft-top roofs. Despite being in production for seven years during which time 25,877 cars were made, a mere 9,500 or so are thought to have survived.Arthur Daley might have stretched to a Ford Capri 2.0 S for Terry McCann but a Triumph Stag would have required too many ‘nice little earners’. Nevertheless, Dennis Waterman did get behind the wheel of a Stag – specifically ‘PWR 233P’ - courtesy of his starring role in the long running TV series, ‘New Tricks’ (2003 – 2015). Although by then the Triumph boasted an impressive silver screen resume of its own with appearances in ‘Murphy’s Law’, ‘The Last Weekend’ and ‘Midsomer Murders’. Finished in the attractive combination of British Racing Green with Tan upholstery, the driver’s seat proudly retains a cigarette burn made by Mr Waterman himself during filming! Treated to a thorough engine overhaul by Faversham Classics in 2002, the 2+2-seater has since benefited from a replacement steering rack, four-barrel carburettor, freer flowing exhaust, uprated Weslake driveshafts, manual gearbox / overdrive refurbishments and new alloy wheels / tyres etc. Maintained by Caroline’s Cars of Norfolk prior to entering the vendor’s care, he had ‘PWR 233P’ fully resprayed at a cost of some £5,000 in 2021. Undergoing further minor works at the moment, the Triumph is due to be freshly MOT tested ahead of sale and is said to ‘drive extremely well’. The subject of its own website, the 2+2-seater also boasts a large history file dating back to 1982. An attendee at the late Dennis Waterman’s memorial service, which was organised by one of the seller’s friends, this famous Stag took centre stage alongside the 'Minder' Capri and 'The Sweeney' Consul. The vendor regrets to inform potential purchasers the Triumph cannot be bought for the £4,900 it was stickered up for in one particular episode of 'New Tricks' but points out that if it were still possible to buy a drink at the Winchester Club then the cost of such would be considerably higher too! PLEASE NOTE: This lot does not possess a current MOT certificate

Registration No: YT 8613 Chassis No: LC 162 MOT: ExemptRegularly campaigned at a number of VSCC and MRL racing events where it was highly competitiveWon third place in the 2019 Goodwood Members' Meeting John Duff TrophyThree Litre chassis that is fitted with a ‘race-prepared’ 4 1/2 Litre Meadows power unitFitted with an ENV 150 Pre-Selector Gearbox and upgraded differential and half shafts to handle the powerSupplied with a large history file with stacks of receipts for works and correspondence including a buff logbook showing ownership from 1955Noel Campbell Macklin started the Invicta Car Company in 1925 and although it became one of Britain's classic sports cars his original aim was to build a car in which changing gears would become virtually unnecessary. Production continued until 1933 in Cobham, whereupon it moved to Chelsea until the outbreak of war, with its last four years being spent back in Surrey at Virginia Water.The fledgling firm initially built six prototypes that coupled a two-litre, six-cylinder Coventry Simplex engine together with a four-speed gearbox in a Bayliss-Thomas chassis and these were found to perform very satisfactorily. The press launch showed that it could go from a standing start in top gear up the steep Guildford High Street but unfortunately, all six engines were ruined when they were left without antifreeze during a cold spell meaning it was back to the drawing board and Henry Meadows was approached for one of the six-cylinder, overhead valve power units that had established an enviable reputation for durability.The first production model was fitted with a 2,692cc Meadows unit and was named the 2½ Litre in SC (Short Chassis) and LC (Long Chassis) forms to suit the customers' choice of body style - however soon Macklin was in search of more power. With Invicta in mind, Meadows devised a new 2,973cc unit for the new Invicta 3-Litre which was introduced for 1926. Flexibility was of prime importance to Macklin and the 3-Litre could be accelerated from virtually walking pace to its 70mph-plus maximum in top gear.It was during 1926 that Macklin's sister-in-law, the 25-year-old Violet Cordery, undertook a number of long-distance journeys which included taking a team to Monza where they captured World records for 10,000 and 15,000 miles and then in another outing covered 5,000 miles at Brooklands at an average speed of more than 70mph. They won the Dewar Trophy for Invicta, which was presented by the Royal Automobile Club, and in 1929 she won it for the second time with a Brooklands' run of 30,000 miles in 30,000 minutes. Quite a lady that did wonders for cementing the marque's sporting status.In late 1928, the Meadows block and head were redesigned with the bores equally spaced and therefore no longer in line with the crank pins. This permitted a bore of 88.5mm giving 4467cc and this unit was fitted to the new-for-1929 Invicta 4½ Litre 'NLC' and 'A-Type' models and went on to be fitted to the famous 'S-Type' Low Chassis models which are considered to be one of the most desirable pre-war British cars of all time. The 4½ Litre engine unit had a power rating of up to 180bhp as standard, giving a rough top speed of 95mph, however many of these units have been highly developed for racing and can deliver in excess of 200bhp when used in anger.First registered on the 2nd September 1927, 'YT 8613' was originally built as a 3-Litre, Long Chassis Invicta. The early Invicta records are believed to have been destroyed during the Blitz, so therefore little is known of the original body style of the car. The first record we have on file for the ownership of the Invicta is from 1955 with a continuation buff log book, when the car was owned by a Mr Raymond J. Menday of Dartford, Kent, and the engine number stated at that time was '6566'. At some point in the car's history, 'YT 8613' was fitted with the Meadows 4½ Litre unit numbered '8526' plus an ENV-150 Pre-Selector gearbox and an angled bulkhead which were believed to have only been fitted to 4½ Litres and S-Types rather than the flat example used in the 3 Litre. Interestingly, a very small number of late 3-Litre cars were reputedly modified to 4½ Litre specification by Dolphens & Lenarts for the Metropolitan Police Flying Squad based out of Scotland Yard, so this car could well be one of those examples.The vendor, who is a repeat Invicta owner, bought LC 162 in 1995 from a Mr Rides of Weston Super Mare who had owned the car since 1988. Upon acquisition, the plan was to upgrade most of the componentry in order to race the car at VSCC events. On file there are masses of receipts on file for various works, including for preparation to race specification at over £35,000. The vendor has subsequently used the car for a huge number of race meetings in the VSCC and Motor Racing Legends events over the years, where the car was proved very competitive with a number of podium positions and overall wins throughout the years. The car was also invited to the Goodwood member's meeting in April 2019 - proving its eligibility for those types of events. The vendor has now decided to sell the car as the chance acquisition of a Low Chassis 'S-Type' recently presented itself - and this car is now seeing more use on the track. It is therefore now a fantastic opportunity for any aspiring racer to acquire a very interesting and genuinely fast vehicle for use either on the road or the track.Upon inspection, 'YT 8613' presents as a well-used, but delightfully patinated racing car. The vendor advises that he has "corrected major issues with the bodywork as they have cropped up, but not to expect a concours queen - this is a working track car". The car is bodied as a Four-Seater tourer with a pleasantly aged Cream Leather interior and it is believed that the front and rear wings are original to the car. A long-range petrol tank has been mounted to the rear of the body with an electric SU pump providing supply to the carburettors. Mechanically, the seller has stated that the ongoing maintenance has been "top-notch" so everything works as intended and that driving the car is "hilarious" thanks to over 200bhp on tap from the thunderous Meadows power unit. The pre-selector gearbox also provides a instant gear change and is pleasurable to work without the frustration of grinding gears - although with the incredible amount of torque supplied, constant changing may not be entirely necessary and is therefore pleasurable to use on the road (for which the car is fully registered!).Eligible for a number of racing events including the Le Mans Classic and a rare example of the exclusive Invicta marque, 'YT 8613' is a wonderful opportunity for any prospective owner who wants to get the most from their car.

Registration No: FLE 708Y Chassis No: IFABP10DC8CF219826 MOT: May 2025Convertible example based on a 5.0 litre Ford MustangBlack with Beige power hood and Black leather interiorOffered with a recent new MoTThis example of the eye-catching and outrageous Zimmer Golden Spirit is a convertible model based on a 5.0 Ford Mustang with automatic transmission and was imported to the UK in 2017. Refinements include power top, power brakes, power steering etc. whilst the leather interior has Recaro seats, Nardi wooden steering wheel and wood grain dashboard. Other notable features include trumpet horns, two piece stainless bumpers and side exhaust pipes. At around eighteen feet long the car is imposing to say the least and is sure to turn heads wherever you go. Described as being in “very good” condition as regards the body, paint, engine and interior it is offered with a recent fresh MoT.One of America's most successful 'flat-pack' housing producers at the time, Zimmer Manufacturing diversified into the luxury goods business during the late 1970s. Not content with making his own yachts, motor homes and recreational vehicles, Paul Zimmer decided to create a range of bespoke automobiles. An unashamedly neo-classical design, the first Zimmer Golden Spirit rolled off the line at Pompano Beach, Florida in 1980. With its blend of Great Gatsby era styling and modern running gear, it was intended to provide hassle free 'classic' motoring. Built at the rate of approximately 176 cars per year, the Golden Spirit was available in Sport Coupe, Convertible or Sedan guises. Boasting a nationwide dealer network and $10 million annual turnover, the Zimmer Motor Car Division nevertheless fell prey to its parent company's collapse in 1988. Resuscitated by Art Zimmer (no relation) during the late 1990s, the marque has undergone something of a revival in recent years. Owned by celebrities as diverse as the pianist Liberace and basketball star Shaquille O'Neal, early Zimmers have become classic cars in their own right.

Registration No: PUD 843F Chassis No: 0034216 MOT: ExemptVery rare UK market right-hand drive example with Gordini UpgradesOriginal registration number with Hill’s Number PlatesRecent engine overhaulSubject to a full body overhaul some years agoLaunched in Paris in 1958, the stylish little Renault 2+2 initially had two names: ‘Floride’, French for ‘Florida’, and ‘Caravelle’ as potential buyers in America who did not live in that state did not particularly want a car named after it. Though built in France, its elegant body styling came from Italy’s Pietro Frua (see also Maserati and AC) and the engine was in the rear which then was Renault’s default position (and this car shared its floorpan with the elegant Dauphine). The Floride/Caravelle was popular and sold well - perhaps because Brigitte Bardot was used by Renault in some of the car’s marketing images. Subsequent revisions were made to the car including larger engines and revised bodywork and ‘Caravelle’ eventually became its sole name. Renault had made some 117,000 Caravelles when production ceased in 1968 in Coupé, Cabriolet or Convertible versions (the latter was supplied with a matching hardtop). A few examples found their way to legendary Renault performance guru Amedée Gordini, which produced 40hp as opposed to the standard model's 35hp. Chassis 34216 was believed to have originally been sold to the Channel Islands in 1960 and spent the first 7 years of its life there until 1967. The car was specified as a Convertible with a Gordini power plant, so an extremely high specification for the time! The car was then sold to the UK and acquired the registration ‘PUD 843F’ (a 1967 plate) which it still retains to this day. The previous owner started the restoration of the car by having it completely repainted to a high standard in Gold with a Black roof and commissioning an interior retrim. After running out of steam, he sold it to the vendor (who owns an aircraft maintenance outfit) who finished the car with a complete brake overhaul including new master and slave cylinders and an overhauled engine. The car is now in fully driving and working order and presents very well indeed and displayed just over 22,000 miles on the odometer at the time of consignment.

Registration No: WL54 WBT Chassis No: 1HTWBAALX5J051173 MOT: June 2025The ‘world’s biggest production Pickup’ (Motortrend)Current ownership since 2017 and less than 16,000 milesBelieved to be the only International CXT in the countryImmense fun and extremely capable!Produced by Navistar International, the International CXT or ‘Commercial Extreme Truck’ was manufactured between 2004 to 2008 and boasts some of the most impressive dimensions of any pick-up truck ever manufactured, dwarfing all other pick-ups, with the only larger being the Mercedes-Benz Unimog which weighing over 7.5-tonnes, is undoubtedly a full truck, rather than pick-up. A beast of a machine, with a reinforced chassis underneath the body, it can carry heavy loads, and manage to tow astonishing weights of over 40,000 pounds. The CXT contains a 466cu in (7.6 L) DT466 straight-six DT466 turbocharged engine that grants it 220hp, 540 lbs/ft of torque. Marketing the truck as a dual-purpose vehicle when new, Navistar promoted its towing and hauling capabilities, and the CXTs abilities for use as a promotional vehicle, essentially as a large "rolling billboard". Offered in two-door extended cab and four-door crew cab variants, the interior trim and features of the CXT rivalled the highest-trim highway trucks. To match smaller pickup trucks, the CXT included leather seats, wood trim, and full carpeting; with interior options also including a rear-seat television screen (with DVD player), CD audio systems, and a fold-out rear seat (into a bed) – all of which this example includes.Manufactured new in 2005, the CXT offered was built and supplied new in the United States of America and resided there for the first ten years of its life. Finished in Yellow paintwork with a full Grey leather interior upholstery and Brown carpeting, this example has been specified with a rear TV screen, a DVD entertainment system, premium hi-fi, airhorn, cruise control, fold our rear bed, and towing package. Utilising the five-speed Allison automatic transmission, the Pickup was imported into the United Kingdom in 2015, before being acquired by the vendor in January 2017 and has since been part of his private collection. Used for several proms and steam rallies, the vendor informs that the CXT (unsurprisingly!) attracts lots of attention wherever it goes! Offered now having covered less than 16,000 miles, the International is believed to be the only International CXT in the country. Offered with a current V5C document and a selection of MOT certificates (with only one advisory for a dust cover across all its UK MOTs), the CXT is supplied with a no advisory MOT certificate until June 2025 and will be driven some 115 miles to the sale. Incredibly impressive, notably nice condition, and a whole load of fun, this outrageous pick-up would be a fantastic statement piece of anyone's collection, or could easily be put to work!

Registration No: BSK 478 Chassis No: SRH88 MOT: ExemptSupplied new to W. Furlong Esq by York Motors of Sydney, AustraliaNicknamed 'Phoebe' and the subject of much expenditure including a full re-paint and cylinder head overhaul etcMatching chassis and engine numbers and believed to still retain the majority of its original upholsteryWell specified with an oil bath air cleaner, automatic gearbox, sunroof and fog lampsUnveiled in 1949, the Silver Dawn had the distinction of being the first Rolls-Royce to wear standardised coachwork. Visually and mechanically indebted to its Bentley MkVI stablemate, the newcomer was initially powered by a 4257cc straight-six engine (though, capacity was increased to 4566cc during 1951) and boasted 90mph plus performance. Updated to resemble the Bentley R-Type in 1953, it was aimed squarely at export markets. Thus, the majority of the c.761 made were to left-hand drive specification. Although, some 116 were reputedly despatched to Australia. According to its accompanying paperwork (including RREC copy build records), chassis SRH88 was supplied new by York Motors of Sydney to W. Furlong Esq. A comparatively late Silver Dawn benefiting from the larger 4566cc OISE straight-six engine, high compression cylinder head, four-speed automatic transmission, more commodious boot and twin exhaust system, it appears to have remained in Mr Furlong’s care until 1968. Exhibited at a Canberra Motor Museum thereafter, the luxury saloon changed hands twice during the 1980s before entering the current family ownership in 1990. Purchased from Ristes of Nottingham for the princely sum of £29,000 plus shipping and import duty etc, the Rolls-Royce returned to the renowned marque specialist for fettling later that same decade. More recently treated to a bodywork refurbishment and repaint in Navy Blue by a Rippon-based firm, ‘Phoebe’ (as chassis SRH88 has long been known) has only just returned from Alan Turner Motors of Thormanby where it received attention to its head gasket, ignition system and exhaust etc. Starting readily and running well during our May 2024 photography session, the Rolls-Royce pleasingly retains its factory-fitted engine (number S-44-H) and what is understood to be the majority of its original Maroon leather upholstery not to mention a sliding sunroof, period radio, export bumpers and twin fog lights. Rare and elegant in equal measure, this appealing Silver Dawn is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.

Registration No: T.B.A Chassis No: SAJJNACW3CC137781 MOT: May 2025Delightfully original and displaying a highly credible c.46,000 miles from new and one former registered keeperRecently subject to cosmetic attention including refurbished alloy wheelsFinished in the attractive combination of Champagne Gold over a Tan leather interior with Black mohair roofPLEASE NOTE: This XJ-SC is not supplied with the private registration number displayed in the photographs.Launched in 1975, Jaguar's XJS was never envisaged as a direct replacement for the E-Type. More of a soporific grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, it was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads. To this end, it was equipped with automatic transmission as standard. Although, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post-1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Fitted with nicely damped coil-sprung suspension, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and potent four-wheel disc brakes, elements of its design were bequeathed to both the Jaguar XK8 and Aston Martin DB7. Though, sadly neither inherited the legendary 5343cc V12 engine. A versatile design that combined lift-out targa panels with a folding rear hood, the XJS-C (C for Cabriolet) proved rarer than the full Convertible that succeeded it. Chassis SAJJNACW3CC137781 was supplied new on 30th January 1987 via HR Owen Ltd of Middlesex to Baron Willem van Dedem, a renowned Art Historian and Collector who was at one time President of The European Fine Art Fair. Van Dedem kept the XJ-SC for only two years before the car was sold on to only other registered keeper. The Cabriolet is supplied with the original Jaguar bookpack including handbooks and the all-important service record and warranty book. The latter reportedly contains five stamps up to 29,805 miles. Understood to have been laid-up for a number of years following the death of its second registered keeper, the Jaguar has recently been recommissioned. The vendor has also reconditioned the wheels and fitted a vinyl headlining in place of the original wool type that was prone to sagging.The seller describes the car as being an 'excellent original example’ given its age, with the sumptuous Champagne Gold paintwork benefiting from a recent polish and the Beige leather interior showing only minimal aging with no signs of recolouring previously. Displaying a highly credible 46,029 miles at the time of consignment, this handsome XJ-SC is offered with a fresh MOT valid until May 2025.

Registration No: G9 RAE Chassis No: SAXXL2S1020425940 MOT: ExpiredVanishingly rare UK supplied ERA Mini Turbo in garage-find conditionOnly two owners from new with the current deceased lady owner from 1991Displaying a very credible 27,000 miles from newA very rewarding project that appears very solid and with all important parts presentERA originally stood for English Racing Automobiles and, courtesy of its A, B and C Type models driven by such schoolboy heroes as Prince Bira, Raymond Mays, Dick Seaman and Earl Howe dominated voiturette racing in the mid to late 1930s. The sale of the company's G Type project to Bristol in 1953 brought its racing days to a close and the following year it was absorbed by the Zenith Carburettor Company and the name changed to Engineering Research & Application Ltd. However, none of the engineering skills were lost and, 35 years later ERA decided to embody them in the design and manufacture of a new performance car - the ERA Mini Turbo. Conceived as an '80s replacement for the Mini Cooper S, it was intended to combine the speed, handling and excitement of the mainstream product with a far greater level of refinement and comfort - in short, it was to be the fastest and best engineered Mini ever produced. The body modifications and spoilers were styled by Marcos designer Dennis Adams. The interior was trimmed in a combination of Connolly hide, cloth, ambla and deep sound-deadening carpet. It featured retrimmed MG Metro seats, a glass sunroof and a range of traditional VDO instruments. Power was supplied by a deliberately torquey version of the Austin Rover 1275cc Metro Turbo engine that produced 94bhp at 6200rpm. The suspension and brakes were suitably upgraded and the newcomer placed on special one-piece 6x13-inch Compomotive alloy wheels. Factory records show that just 99 UK and 337 Japanese specification cars were built all told.First registered on 25th October 1989, this extremely rare ERA Mini Turbo was first registered as 'G212 CPD' and reputedly supplied by the renowned Sports Car dealers, HWM. Owned for only two years by the first keeper, the car was purchased by its long-term lady owner, Mrs Gladys Rae of Borehamwood, Hertfordshire in 1991. Mrs Rae's taste in vehicles is fondly remembered by her son and daughter (the vendors of the car) as according to them she owned a Mini Cooper S during the 1960s which was her pride and joy, so the ERA must have been the closest possible replacement available during the early 1990s. Mrs Rae was said to be a fairly handy driver and would often enjoy her Mini with her children and grandchildren, with pleasant trips to Brighton that were added to with the thrilling addition of the spinning turbocharger - she loved the car so much she fitted it with her personalised registration "G9 RAE" which is included with the car. Unfortunately, all of the history file (including the V5c although the car is registered with the DVLA) for the ERA has been lost to time due to Mrs Rae's untimely passing in 2019, but there is some confidence from the vendors that the mileage of approximately 27,000 miles is correct (and the condition of the car does indicate this.) In 2001, the car was laid up in Mrs Rae's dry garage due to a family friend's diagnosis of the unwelcome rumble of noisy big end bearings. Unfortunately, the Mini was never to return to the road during Mrs Rae's lifetime, so the car is now offered for sale by her family and we imagine it will be an extremely attractive proposition for any collector.Upon inspection, we noted that the bodywork is on the whole relatively solid, thanks to the dry storage conditions; with some minimal patches of rust coming through on the offside front wing and some surface rusting underneath. Turning the engine over has not been attempted, however with some persuasion the brakes were freed off for transport. The interior, with its Connolly hide leather and extra gauges on the fabulous 80s dashboard, appears to be in remarkably well-preserved order and indicates that the mileage is most likely correct.Offered for sale strictly as viewed, this Mini - ERA collaboration is an extremely exciting proposition for any collector and well worth financial investment to make a highly original example of an extremely rare 1980's take on an Issigonis designed icon.

Registration No: LJ05 LKK Chassis No: SCBLC37F75CH10895 MOT: June 2025Warranted 49,000 miles from newBenefitting from a comprehensive maintenance historyFinished in Silver Tempest paintwork, with a Cream leather-trimmed interior, with Blue piping, carpets, dashboard top and steering wheelPrevious five-year ownership with the President of the Bentley Owner's Club and in a private collection sinceThe Bentley Arnage and its Rolls-Royce sibling, the Silver Seraph, were phased in during the spring of 1998 as replacements for derivatives of the long-serving Mulsanne (Bentley) and Silver Spirit (Rolls-Royce). The bodies for the new cars were built at the Bentley factory in Crewe, while the engines were outsourced. Initially available as a single model, the Arnage was powered by a DOHC 4.4-litre BMW engine force-fed by twin turbochargers. However, it was around this time that Bentley passed into the hands of the Volkswagen Group and Rolls-Royce was acquired by BMW. Not surprisingly, BMW declined to see a rival marque powered by one of its engines, so Volkswagen was forced to find an alternative powerplant for the Arnage. After offering the Green Label and Red Label, those models gave way to the Arnage R in 2002. In common with the long wheelbase Red Label launched the previous year, it was powered by a completely reworked version of Bentley's venerable 6.75-litre V8 engine. Courtesy of Bosch Motronic engine management and a pair of Garrett T3 turbochargers it produced 399bhp and a colossal 616lb-ft of torque.Manufactured in 2005, the Arnage R offered was registered new in the United Kingdom on the 6th of June that year. Finished in attractive Silver Tempest paintwork with complementary Cream leather interior upholstery with Blue piping, the interior also features Blue carpets, Blue leather dashboard top and steering wheel, and a wood veneered dashboard, centre console, and door card inserts. Factory-fitted equipment includes an electric tilt and slide sunroof, electrically operated and heated front and rear seats with four-position driver seat memory, dual-zone climate control, rear tray tables, a multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, and front and rear parking sensors. Previously in the ownership of the President of the Bentley Owner’s Club for five years, thereafter the Bentley has resided in the vendor's private collection and is now offered with just 49,750 miles from new (at the time of consignment).Benefitting from a comprehensive maintenance history, the Arnage has only been serviced by main dealers and specialists, with services at 4,339; 6,297; 7,597; 8,235; 8,809; 16,647; 23,594; 28,489; 30,747; 43,090; 46,559, 49,425 miles completed by Broughtons of Cheltenham Bentley, Bentley Newcastle, Bentley Services Cheshire, GT Services Cheshire, Prestige Services and Silver Lady Brentwood Ltd. Further to the servicing, the Arnage has received a new oil pressure transmitter, electrical improvement, front brake discs and pads and some brake pipes in 2021; re-gassed air-conditioning in 2023; and a new main system battery and paintwork improvements this year. Riding on a set of 19-inch alloy wheels shod in Pirelli P-Zero tyres, this particularly nice example is accompanied by its original owner’s manuals and service book, along with a collection of maintenance invoices and a NavTrak tracking device. Offered with an MOT certificate until June 2025, the Bentley also has a current V5C document.PLEASE NOTE: The registration number shown in the images is being retained by the vendor.

Registration No: H946 PTW Chassis No: SAJJNADW3DB170323 MOT: May 2025In the current custodianship of its first and only ownerOnly 22,275 warranted miles on the odometer at the time of consignmentComplete with comprehensive history file including original book pack including stamp bookLaunched in 1975, Jaguar's XJS was never envisaged as a direct replacement for the E-Type. More of a soporific grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, it was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads. To this end, it was equipped with automatic transmission as standard. Although, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post-1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long-awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood (complete with heated glass rear window). Underpinned by the same all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power-assisted rack and pinion steering as its Fixed Head Coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form.First registered on the 3rd July 1991, 'H946 PTW' was purchased by its first and only owner specified in the stunning colour scheme of Signal Red over a Magnolia Leather interior with a Black mohair hood from TWR Jaguar of Coventry for the princely sum of £33,500. The car has been cherished by the vendor and has been used sparingly for holidays and dry days only throughout its life. The original Jaguar book pack on file includes the original handbooks, purchase invoice, business cards for TWR Jaguar representatives and the all important service stamp book which has been kept fully up to date. Having had its first four services with Jaguar main dealers (the most recent being the 21st May 2001 at 15,175 miles) the car has been serviced by the vendor's own mechanics since as he owns a commercial vehicle firm and has been stamped as such. There are seven more stamps from the owner's firm up to 18th May 2019 at 21,830 miles. Now displaying on 22,275 miles that the vendor warrants, 'H946 PTW' is described by the vendor as being in 'excellent' condition throughout and the vendor has purposely left small imperfections such as touched in stone chips on the nose rather than painting these areas as he wanted to demonstrate that the car has 'never had a bump'.A one-off opportunity to own a genuine one owner XJ-S Cabriolet and now becoming ever more desirable, this fabulous V12 Grand Tourer is now available on the market for the first time since it was purchased new.

Registration No: NWD 981 Chassis No: G525 MOT: ExemptUnderstood to be the only Healey Sports Convertible fitted with the 3848cc Nash Ambassador 'Le Mans Dual Jet Fire' EnginePresented in 'barn find' condition in need of restorationDescribed as being in exceptionally well-preserved original orderPresented with history file that includes both the original buff logbook and continuation buff log bookDue to a chance meeting between Donald Healey and Nash Kelvinator CEO George W. Mason whilst they were crossing the Atlantic aboard the Queen Elizabeth in December 1949, the Nash-Healey was born as a US-Market only model that was considered as 'the first American sportscar to be introduced by a major manufacturer since the 1920s'. Powered by a Nash Ambassador 3848cc OHV 'Dual Jet Fire' straight-six engine utlilising a bespoke alloy cylinder head which was allied to a three-speed manual plus Borg Warner overdrive transmission, the smoothly shaped bodywork was penned by Gerry Coker and crafted by Panelcraft of Birmingham in lightweight aluminium which foreshadowed that of the Austin-Healey 100.From 1951, Alvis teamed up with Healey to offer their 3 litre engine and gearbox as fitted to the TB21, and a new chassis known as the 'G-Type' was designed to accommodate this power unit. Now offered to the UK Market, this model was marketed as the Healey Sports Convertible and it is believed that merely 28 of this chassis type were produced. The body (again produced by Panelcraft) was subtly different from that of the earlier Nash-Healey and featured lockable doors, a convenience rarely found on British sports cars of the period. It was equally unusual that a heater and radio were standard equipment as well as wind-up windows and the sofa-like leather bench seat had room for three abreast. It is estimated that 25 of the 28 produced were fitted with the Alvis power and transmission unit, however Healey are understood to have experimented with an Armstrong Siddeley unit in one example and the very last G-Type chassis was fitted with the Nash power train from the US built cars in another, which is the example that is now offered for sale by our vendor.According to the first buff logbook on file, 'NWD 981' was first registered to the Donald Healey Motor Co Ltd on 30th September 1953 with the engine number 'H 63381' and was sold later that year to its first private owner, a Mr. David Alexander Gray of Chester-Le-Street, Durham who sold the car in 1955. 'NWD 981' was under the custodianship of four further owners, with the continuation logbook stating the latest known tax date as April 1968. It is understood that the car was bought in 1985 by Andrew Currie who also owned the Nash-Healey Le Mans FHC Race Car purchased the car to scavenge for parts. The race car was sold to the USA, but the relatively intact 'NWD 981' was sold in 1986 to the current keeper, Mr Richard Chamberlain. Mr Chamberlain purchased the car as a non-runner with the intention of restoration and there is a large amount of correspondence with various Healey and Nash related clubs and businesses attempting to piece together what the car was and also to buy the appropriate parts for the restoration. Unfortunately, life got well and truly in the way prior to the restoration being completed and although there are photographs of the engine block and cylinder head being worked on it was never put back together and was put away with the hopes of continuing at some stage. Unfortunately, due to the passing of Mr Chamberlain, the car is now offered for sale by his widow as a project in need of restoration that is believed largely complete.To be sold strictly as viewed, this one-off Healey presents an opportunity to own one of the rarest British sports cars ever produced and would give any prospective restorer a rewarding challenge.

Registration No: OKO 566G Chassis No: BB44HD29896 MOT: ExemptSherwood BDA engine, twin Weber 48 DCOE carburettors mated to a 5-speed ZF gearboxUnderstood to be eligible for Period Category 2, Class C5 eventsAP Racing ventilated front and solid rear discs, rolling on 13” Minilite-style wheelsOffered with MSA Log Book and HRVIF plus current V5C Registration Document The MkI Ford Escort was introduced in Ireland and the United Kingdom at the end of 1967, making its show debut at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1968. The Escort had conventional rear-wheel drive and a four-speed manual gearbox, or three-speed automatic transmission. The suspension consisted of MacPherson strut front suspension and a simple live axle mounted on leaf springs. The Escort was the first small Ford to use rack-and-pinion steering. The MkI featured contemporary styling cues in tune with its time: a subtle Detroit-inspired "Coke bottle" waistline and the "dogbone" shaped front grille – arguably the car's main stylistic feature. The MkI Escort became successful as a rally car, and eventually went on to become one of the most successful rally cars of all time. The Ford works team was practically unbeatable in the late 1960s / early 1970s, and arguably the Escort's greatest victory was in the London to Mexico World Cup Rally.First registered with the DVLA on 23rd August 1968, in 2024 ‘OKO 566G’ is very much a period-style ‘stage rally’ Ford Escort MkI. Chassis number BB44HD29896 evidently began life as a 2 door 1100 saloon, is in possession of a Motor Sports Association Competition Car Log Book (issued 12th March 2004 for ‘Stage Rally’) and a Historic Rally Vehicle Identity Form (HRVIF issued 6th March 2015). With a restoration said to have dated from 2003, the MSA documents also describe ‘OKO 566G’ as an ‘RS1600’ with its BDA engine now rated at 1998cc. It is also described as a eligible for Period Category 2, Class C5 in competition. The bodyshell is described as ‘original to this vehicle’ with a bonnet in fibreglass.The twin-cam engine specification is listed as having twin Weber 48 DCOE carburettors, a 5-speed ZF gearbox (S5-18/3), an alloy cylinder head and block, Lucas AB14 electronic ignition and with a dry sump. Stopping power for its c.1045kg, comes from AP Racing ventilated front and solid rear discs, rolling on 13” Minilite-style wheels. An OMP steering wheel and rack and pinion steering point it the right way whilst keeping it the right way up are McPherson strut, coil springs and Bilstein dampers up front and a beam axle with telescopic dampers and leaf and coil in ‘alternative tarmac spec’ upfront. A Safety Devices ‘roll-over protection system’ bolts into 12 anchorage points. Offered with the aforementioned MSA Log Book and HRVIF there is some MOT paperwork and the current V5C Registration Document. Having not been used in anger for some time a mechanical check over is advised. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760
