Registration No: BJD 370H Chassis No: 1R20S91 MOT: Exempt 1 of just 1,071 RHD Series II Fixed Head Coupes made60,500 credible miles recordedOffered with a collection of invoices and old MOT certificatesRecently subject to £6,575 spent on attention to the bodywork and paint At launch the Malcolm Sayer-penned E-Type was the fastest production car of its time – its 3.8-litre straight six engine allowing a 0-60mph acceleration time of a whisker over seven seconds and a top speed of circa 150mph. Despite this, the engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964 and, with the change, came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and more comfortable seats. The Series 2 models, introduced in 1969, are distinguished by their lack of headlamp covers, enlarged front air intake, repositioned front indicators and taillights, wrap-around rear bumper, twin-electric fans, uprated brakes and refashioned facia and seats.1 of just 1,071 RHD Series II Fixed Head Coupes made ‘BJD 370H’ was bought by the vendor as a winter ‘project’ and was sympathetically restored over this period. The restoration consisted of a localised photographed refurbishment, putting new metal into the wheel arches for long term conservation. The invoice for £6,575 bodywork and paint and photos of that work are now in the history file. In addition, the E-Type was subsequently serviced and detailed to make it ready to enjoy for a new owner. An interesting history file documents a recent long term family ownership going back to the mid-2000s, a custodianship saw a lot of work done to the car and bills accompanying laying out as a record of the work. A collection of old MOT paperwork and certificates go some way to provide some evidence that 60,500 is very possibly the correct mileage. Additionally the factory fitted Webasto sunroof is in perfect working order and this affords the occupants the luxury of pulling back the roof for the perfect blend of enclosed and open top motoring. The doors also lock and there is an aftermarket immobiliser to add security and complete the best specification E Type for those grand tours.The vendor describes the driving experience of the Coupe as ‘The patinated interior is a lovely place to be in and it’s a lovely car to drive'. Fitted with wider wheels with off-set chrome spokes ‘BJD 370H’ is offered with a collection of invoices and old MOT certificates, the aforementioned invoices, photographs of the restoration work and the current V5C Registration Document. It is expected the vendor will be driving the Series II Coupe the 100 miles to the sale. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Registration No: SJW 550S Chassis No: ACH00525 MOT: November 2024Extremely rare home market ‘Sprint’ modelPresented in remarkable condition, with 16,513 miles since restoration Retains all its unique TR7 Sprint parts it left the factory withThe TR6 was the last of a long line of Triumph sports cars that evolved from the TR2 of 1953, while the TR7 introduced in 1975 was an entirely new breed featuring unitary construction and a distinctive wedge-shaped body penned by Harris Mann. Power came from an 8-valve, 2-litre four-cylinder engine of 105bhp derived from the Dolomite Sprint unit. Though the newcomer was eagerly received, especially in the USA, its performance came in for criticism. BLMC responded to the charge by creating the TR7 Sprint, which benefited from a 127bhp version the 16-valve Dolomite Sprint unit, which successfully reduced the 0-60mph time from 9.1 to 8.5 seconds and raised the top speed to 120mph. The industrial problems of the time have clouded the issue, but it is understood just c.60 prototypes and production TR7 Sprints were ultimately made‘SJW 550S’, one of the aforementioned Sprint models. Little is known of its early life, but the car was subject to an exhaustive restoration in the early 2000s by renowned TR7 Specialists Robsport International, as a means of showcasing their abilities. Throughout the restoration process, attention to detail was paramount. New original parts were used wherever possible to retain correctness and originality. The subframe and axle were stripped, primed, flattened and painted, along with the car being painted in the correct Tahiti Blue, with Green Chequered/Tartan interior re-upholstered to a high standard. The bulkhead sound deadening was retained, along with all the various unique TR7 Sprint parts these cars left the factory with.Now over twenty years later, the car presents as exceptionally well on the underside as it does on the bodywork, and is offered for sale as a rare opportunity for an enthusiast to enjoy. Now showing 16,513 miles on the odometer since its restoration, the vendor notes the rear axle is noisy, and would benefit from an overhaul, but overall the car is in remarkable condition. A valid MOT to 04 November 2024 is included.Accompanied with the vehicle is a small history file containing a number of previous MOT certificates, as well as the current V5C document. The vendor rates the condition of the Transmission as ‘Good to Very good’, with the Bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork and interior trim ‘Very good to Excellent’.

Registration No: B158 AUC Chassis No: WP0ZZZ91ZFS102974 MOT: May 2025Current ownership since 2008 and just two former UK keepersEquivalent of 129,000 miles from newPurchased by the vendor from the editor of ‘911 & Porsche World’ magazineOffered with a history file that contains the original book pack with stamped service bookDeveloped under the watchful eye of Porsche Chief Executive Peter Schutz, the 911 Carrera 3.2 made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show of September 1983. Estimated to be 80 percent new, the model's 3164 cc (hence '3.2') flat-six engine was credited with developing some 231bhp and 209lbft of torque. Allied to a five-speed manual transmission, it proved both rev-happy and flexible, making the model capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds and a 153mph top speed. In order to cope with the increased performance, the brakes were enlarged and the top two gear ratios slightly raised. Among other improvements was a redesigned timing chain tensioner – the Achilles heel of the earlier engines.Manufactured in 1985, the 911 offered was supplied new by Porsche Stuttgart, being delivered new on the 12th of July 1985. Finished from the factory in Porsche Guards Red paintwork with a complementary Black half leather interior upholstery with the pinstripe cloth insert, the Porsche remained in Germany for less than a year before finding its more permanent home in Switzerland by 1986. A resident of Switzerland for the subsequent sixteen years, the Porsche arrived on UK shores in 2002 and was in the previous ownership, that of the editor of ‘911 & Porsche World’ magazine, from 2003 until purchase by the vendor in 2008. Documented in the magazine on several occasions, the Porsche featured in buyers guides and staff car sections. Offered now having been with the vendor for sixteen years, the 911 has 208,000 kilometres on the odometer, the equivalent of some 129,000 miles.Receiving a new clutch at c.105,000 miles (equivalent), the 911 was maintained by Steve Bull Porsche specialist between 2003 and 2018, there are numerous invoices on file for improvements and maintenance completed during this period. While in the vendor’s ownership, the Porsche has received a new fuel pump in 2018; new crank sensors and housing (costing some £1,300); and in May this year new brake pads and exhaust silencer. With the desirable 8/9 inch Fuchs, ‘B158 AUC’ is accompanied by a large history file that contains the book pack with the stamped service book that contains fourteen service stamps. Also included contains a collection of MOT certificates back to 2002, a current MOT until May 2025 with no advisories, copies of ‘911 & Porsche World’ magazine featuring the car, and a current V5C document showing two former keepers.

Registration No: YKE 415A Chassis No: 26868 MOT: May 2025Desirable Series II example, specified with five-speed ZF Gearbox, all round Dunlop disc brakes and later fitted with wire wheelsSubject to much previous cosmetic restoration workAccompanied by a large history file including documentation relating to the restoration and copies of the factory recordsLaunched in late 1958, the Alvis TD21 was stylistically indebted to a special-order Hermann Graber Coupe variant of its TC21/100 predecessor. Suitably reinterpreted for production by Park Ward, the newcomer's decidedly elegant coachwork sat atop a rigid box-section chassis equipped with independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension and a leaf-sprung back axle. Powered by a 2993cc OHV straight-six engine that was initially mated to a four-speed manual or Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission, the four-seater boasted a 100mph-plus top speed. Featuring a polished wood fascia, leather upholstery, and pile carpets, the TD21 could be had in two-door Saloon or Drophead Coupe guises and was every bit as luxurious as its contemporaries. The Series II was launched in 1962 and benefitted from a number of upgrades. Cars specified with manual transmission were now to be outfitted with a five-speed ZF gearbox from October of that year and all cars were now panelled in aluminium with aluminium door frames for lightness. The brakes were also upgraded to all-round Dunlop disc brakes to aid stopping power. Visually, the previous externally mounted spot and fog lamps were now integrated within the front end air intakes which were now circular for a neater overall design and the reversing lamp was also given a makeover. In total, only 285 Series IIs were produced in both Saloon and Drophead forms before being replaced by the TE21 in late 1963.First registered on 19th June 1963 as 'VCL 400', chassis 26868 was first delivered to Boshiers of Norwich finished in Alice Blue with Light Blue Leather and Carpets. Little is known about the first private owner of the Alvis, however, there is correspondence on file that suggests known ownership from all the way back to 1972. Invoices on file describe an extensive overhaul of the body and interior in 1991 by SV Restorations of Lincolnshire, which is when the car was painted in Rolls Royce Exeter Blue and fitted with wire wheels, which is how the car presents today. The vendor, a gentleman who is an engineer by occupation and is the first to admit an addiction with ‘buying cars and owning them briefly to experience as many as possible’ purchased the car in 2023 to enjoy the summer in and has made some small improvements including tuning of the carburettors and resealing of the windows which were leaking when he purchased it. As per his mantra of moving them on after a short period of ownership to 'experience something else', this rare Series II TD21 is now offered for sale.Upon inspection, 'YKE 415A' appears to have been very well kept, with its 1991 paint either having been refreshed or kept in fine order. There are a small number of age-related chips and light scratches which the vendor believes could easily be removed. The interior presents in what the vendor describes as 'good' order with the woodwork appearing well lacquered and the front seats having been re-trimmed in good quality hide previously, with the rears appearing original. The car started easily upon inspection and appears to be fitted with electronic ignition and the vendor advises that he has recently stripped and cleaned the carburettors. The vendor told us that the 'car drives well' and that it feels taught, and we can confirm that the car produced a welcome rasp from the stainless-steel exhaust system that it is fitted with.

Registration No: K3 DCC Chassis No: WVWZZZ152MK MOT: June 2024One of just 470 UK supplied examplesc.50,750 miles and usual Rivage edition refinementsLast of the legendary Mk1 Golf GTi modelsOriginally supplied to a David Challenger by Listers of Stratford-Upon-Avon on 1st August 1992 and registered with the cherished mark ‘K3 DCC’, early servicing was carried out by Vindis & Sons Cambridge. With six previous owners the VW has covered a total mileage of just c.50,750 in its pampered life. The supporting paperwork shows a moderate 32,000 being completed in its first five years of life, 14,000 miles over the following sixteen years, then just 4,000 in the last eleven years. Garaged and used only sparingly whilst in the vendor’s care, it came from an eight year previous ownership and ten year ownership prior to that. The vendor informs us he has made contact with previous owners to verify its history and reminisce! A large folder of paperwork accompanies the car detailing maintenance work carried together with service book and original handbooks in the original VW wallet. Also included are sales brochures for the limited edition Rivage, Sportline and the Clipper models.The Mauritius Blue interior is said to be “outstanding and immaculate” with the only upgrades being a retro modern Blaupunkt Essen DAB BT stereo and VDO gauges. Furthermore, the “heated seats, power hood and electric windows all work correctly, as does everything including the digital MFI display”. The vendor further advises the Classic Blue Metallic exterior is in “remarkable condition for the car's age, completely solid with no rust or corrosion. The underside is solid with evidence of original Waxoyl rust-proofing”.In the current ownership the cambelt has been replaced for peace of mind, a new VW gearbox linkage kit fitted and a new battery fitted which has sat on a trickle charger when not in use. A custom-built stainless steel exhaust gives a “lovely throaty sound”. The “immaculate” forged alloys are shod with four Pirelli P7 Cinturatos. We are also informed the hood is in good condition and leak free, although it has a very small nick above the driver’s door. It is complemented by the original tonneau cover and optional VW wind deflector. The engine bay is said to be clean and well maintained with a battery shut-off key for easy storage if needed. Spare parts with the car include a set of poly bushes, a spare VW steering wheel and a Momo steering wheel and boss. This last of the line and now highly collectible Mk1 Golf is worthy of close inspection. For more information, please contact: John Markey john.markey@handh.co.uk 01428 607899

Registration No: UWR 7N Chassis No: 73061438L MOT: Exemptc.350 miles since an extensive restorationRestored with a new chassisDesriable 'S' 130/5 modelFinished in Roman Purple MetallicThe Elan 2 was revealed to the world in 1962 with a 1500cc engine and a four-speed gearbox in a small and stylish 2-seater roadster form. The Plus 2 (code-named M20) was introduced in 1967 and had arguably better proportions than the 'baby' Elan. In 1971 the +2S 130 was launched with the Lotus 'Twin Cam' engine, providing an improved 126bhp hence the “130” model suffix. It produced a maximum torque of 113lb/ft at 5,500 rpm, providing plenty of power to fully enjoy this lightweight and useable family sports car. The +2S 130 was an appreciable step up in quality with a raft of luxury fittings from quartz halogen fog lights to burr walnut facia and electric windows. In October 1972 the long-called for 5-speed gearboxes finally arrived as an option, to make cruising smoother, and the Lotus Elan +2S 130/5 became ‘the’ version to have.First registered with the DVLA on 1st August 1974, this ‘S’ 130/5 iteration of the Elan +2 Coupe is finished in Roman Purple Metallic (L21) with an Oatmeal interior. Displaying some 58,700 miles with three previous documented owners only, the car was previously restored in a ‘5 year, no expense spared, total rebuild’, completed in September 2020 at a recorded mileage of c.58,347. The body was stripped bare then sent off to the paint shop where it was taken back to the gel coat, any repairs made then sprayed in Roman Purple Metallic. Completing 350 miles since, it remains in ‘as built’ condition.Mechanically, the list of work is extensive. A new Lotus designed chassis was ordered with all additional stiffening as per the Lotus 26R design. The chassis was professionally cold zinc sprayed then sprayed in Grey. For additional protection the chassis was then given a final coat of POR 15 in Silver. The sill members were replaced with stainless steel box section items together with seat belt mounting points. The sill closing plates under the wheel arches were also replaced with stainless steel units.The front suspension was overhauled, wishbones powder coated, and new poly bushes fitted throughout. New TTR adjustable shocks and uprated springs were fitted with adjustable ride height, new bearings etc. The rear suspension was overhauled with new oval section 'A' frames from Spyder, poly bushes fitted, TTR adjustable shocks and uprated springs with adjustable ride height. The steering rack was inspected and a new solid U/J fitted. The steering column was repainted.The engine was overhauled by John Smurthwaite at 'JSMotorsport' to Q360 sport spec. The head was cleaned, tested, skimmed and ported. The head was then fitted with all new guides, seats, valves and followers, the head was fitted with Q360 cams, new bearings and shimmed. The cams were fitted with vernier sprockets. The engine was also built with a new block, new pistons, a reground crank and all new bearings; new chain, tensioners etc fitted; the sump has been baffled to eliminate oil surge; there was a new front cover (Burton design) with a removable water pump cartridge; new fuel pump, new high torque starter, distributor fully rebuilt by 'Distributor Doctor' and Luminition Optronic ignition fitted; new plug leads; twin Dellorto carbs stripped, professionally cleaned, rebuilt and re-jetted for Q360 spec.; stainless braided fuel pipes fitted; K&N filter fitted. There’s a new stainless steel exhaust; the back box was hand-made and is a copy of the 'Pico' box as fitted to the last of the +2s - it is also in stainless and reportedly sounds beautiful. The 5-speed Lotus gearbox fitted, was purchased, overhauled and then inspected at Alan Voight gearboxes, Birkenhead, before fitting. A new clutch has been fitted along with new thrust and spigot bearings, new slave and master clutch cylinders with stainless braided pipe. The differential unit was stripped, inspected, cleaned and rebuilt with new bearings and thrust washers. New TTR steel billet output shafts have been fitted, rubber donuts replaced with new Kelvedon twin U/J’s with sliding splines.The brake system has been fully overhauled, the front and rear calipers professionally rebuilt; fitted with new grooved discs, Greenstuff pads and new handbrake pads; copper brake tube throughout with stainless connections and stainless braided flexible hoses; a new master cylinder and professionally rebuilt servo; new handbrake cable and upgraded fully adjustable rear handbrake rods.

The interior heater box was disassembled, powder-coated and reassembled with new seals and a new 2-speed motor. The petrol tank was stripped and cleaned and painted in Black POR 15 and new stainless straps fitted. The petrol tank has a modified breather system which uses a stainless braided hose linked into the filler neck. A single small diameter hose then loops over the cabin and exits under the car, alleviating any petrol smells.The interior is in a very original specification and in overall very good condition. A new dash has been fitted together with a new roof lining. The carpets are wool and were tailor-made to original spec and then edge-bound.

Lastly, the Elan has been fitted with the Spyder 'Minilite'-style peg drive 14" x 6" alloy wheels shod with Dunlop 185 x 65 x 14 tyres. This gives the same rolling circumference as the original fitment and the speedo reads spot on.Accompanied by a current V5C Registration Document, this is an opportunity to own an Elan +2S with a recently completed extensive restoration.

Registration No: M631 AGL Chassis No: SARRAWBMBMG001124 MOT: September 2024Just 2,300km from new1 of just 258 painted in the optional Oxford Blue pearlescent (from a total production run of 1,983 cars)Exceptionally original and unrestored conditionIn a private collection in the UK from 2017 until 2023 and then mechanically refreshedLaunched at the 1992 Birmingham Motor Show, the RV8 signalled MG's return to the open sports car market. Just as the Cobra grew out of the unprepossessing AC Ace, so the RV8 evolved from the immortal MGB Roadster (hence the car's 'Project Adder' development code). Built around a thoroughly re-engineered and neatly restyled version of its predecessor's monocoque bodyshell, it was powered by a 3948cc V8 engine that developed some 190bhp and 318Nm of torque. Said to be capable of 135mph and 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds, the adoption of telescopic shock absorbers and anti-roll bars all round brought a notable improvement in handling. Trimmed to a high standard, its inviting interior boasted leather upholstery and rich wood veneers. With the vast majority of the limited production run (just 1,983 are thought to have been made) going to a retro-hungry Japan, RV8s remain a rare sight on British roads.Supplied new to the car-friendly climate of Japan, chassis ‘1124’ was one of just 258 examples finished in the optional paintwork of Oxford Blue pearlescent with Cream leather interior upholstery. Acquired new in Japan by a private collector, the RV8 was immediately stored in the owner's collection and was kept preserved in its original condition, covering just 1,700 kilometres across its first twenty years while in Japan. Thereafter, the MG was imported in 2015, with it receiving its first MOT in November of that year, before being registered ‘M631 AGL’ in 2017 and entering the ownership of another collector, this time, based in the United Kingdom. Retained by said collector until 2023, as such it only has three previous keepers and this RV8 is effectively in ‘as-new’ condition, including down to having the original tonneau cover and MG footwell mats. To preserve originality, the original speedometer in kmh and the Japanese market specifications have been retained throughout.Benefitting from mechanical improvement as required in 2023, the brakes were refreshed and bushes replaced throughout before being provided with an MOT in September with no advisories. Offered now having covered just 2,300 kilometres from new, the MG benefits from being accompanied by a mileage validation certificate having been inspected by the Japan Vehicle Inspection Centre with an e-certificate and windscreen verification. A very special example that can certainly not be overlooked, in exceptionally original, low mileage, and unrestored concours condition, this MG would not be out of place as a concours entrant. Exceptionally rare to find in this state and that has been kept by collectors since new, this RV8 is worthy of close inspection!

Registration No: F640 DNG Chassis No: SCC082910KHD65159 MOT: November 2024Just 37,000 recorded miles1 of just 1,562 Lotus Esprit Turbo (X180) cars understood to have been made from 1987-1991Benefitting from some £11,000 worth of improvements since 2021In current ownership since 2017Desirable and collectible modern LotusThe Esprit metamorphosed through several series over the next two decades before the model's ultimate expression - the V8 - arrived in 1996. Lotus had first employed turbocharged induction in 1980 on the Essex Turbo Esprit, a limited edition model featuring the Blue/Red/Chrome livery of the Essex Overseas Petroleum Corporation, sponsor of Team Lotus from 1979 to 1981. The Essex paved the way for the series production Turbo Esprit, the arrival of which in April 1981 coincided with that of the S3 models. Despite having a wet sump, the Turbo's 2.2-litre Garrett-blown engine produced the same power (210bhp) as the Essex's dry-sump unit. The Turbo Esprit retained the aerodynamic body kit of the Essex cars and featured prominent 'Turbo Esprit' decals on the nose and sides. The Turbo's top speed was 148mph, with 60mph attainable in 6.1 seconds. In 1987, the Esprit was comprehensively restyled by Peter Stevens, who produced a less angular, more rounded and much more modern look. The turbocharged car's name was changed to 'Esprit Turbo', while the major mechanical updates were a Renault GTA gearbox and outboard rear brakes.Manufactured new in 1989, chassis number 65159 is one of just 1,562 Lotus Esprit Turbo (X180) supplied and was sold new to the home market, being first registered as ‘F640 DNG’ on the 25th of May that year. Finished in Calypso Red with Cream leather interior upholstery, the Lotus is understood to have only resided in the United Kingdom for around 12 months, the Esprit Turbo was exported to the car-friendly climate of Japan thereafter. Residing in Japan for the subsequent twenty-seven years, the Esprit was acquired by the vendor in 2017 and was subsequently repatriated. Retained by the vendor ever since, the Lotus has been substantially improved during this period, receiving over £11,000 worth of enhancement, which included bodywork repairs and repainting, servicing with new spark plugs, new emissions and turbocharger control pipes, retrimmed boot compartment, a brake refresh, and alloy wheel refurbishment. Offered with just 37,000 miles on the odometer, this is a low mileage desirable and collectible Lotus modern classic!

Registration No: HS51 AKZ Chassis No: SCFAB12372K302728 MOT: June 2025Just 42,000 miles from newCurrent ownership since 2018 with only four former keepersNineteen service stamps with the majority having been completed by main dealers and specialists1 of just 2,385 Coupes madeFull brake and drive train overhaul by Aston Martin specialists Trinity Engineering of Cobham at the cost of c.£10,000PLEASE NOTE: This Aston Martin has recently received a new MOT certificate valid until June 2025. Introduced at the March 1999 Geneva Salon, the Vantage version of Aston Martin's landmark DB7 broke with marque tradition by using a wholly different engine rather than a punchier version of its sister car's existing powerplant. Breathed on by Cosworth, the newcomer's 'heart' was a 5935cc 48-valve, all-alloy V12 that developed 420bhp and 400lbft. Initially available with a choice of six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission, the DB7 Vantage could be had with ZF's Touchtronic semi-auto from 2000 onwards (0-60mph in 4.9 seconds, limited 165mph top speed). To cope with such performance, the 2+2-seater's structure, suspension and brakes were all upgraded. Asked to rework his masterpiece, stylist Ian Callum added a reshaped back bumper, more pronounced sills, combined driving lamps/indicators and horizontal bars to the radiator grille. Priced at £92,500, Aston Martin's flagship came with central locking, electric windows/mirrors, traction control, ABS, air-conditioning, front airbags, alarm/immobilizer and 18-inch alloy wheels as standard. Notable as the marque's first V12 production model, the DB7 Vantage lasted until 2003 by which time some 2,385 Coupes had been made.First registered during January 2002, 'HS51 AKZ' was specified in the gorgeous colour combination of Skye Silver over a Grey and Ebony Leather interior with Carbon Fibre Veneers. Purchased by the current custodian in 2018 at c.38,500 miles, he has cherished the car and covered just around 4,000 miles and added a number of considerable maintenance bills to the file within this period. The highly regarded Aston Martin specialists Trinity Engineering of Cobham have carried out significant works with these including a full brake and drive train overhaul at 36,500 miles to the cost of some £10,000 as well as a new “Sports” exhaust system costing £3,500.From registration through to June 2017 this DB7 Vantage was serviced solely by Aston Martin main dealers indicated by the original service booklet that the car is presented with - which displays a total of fourteen stamps up to 35,000 miles. Thereafter, there have been five further services with two of those completed by specialists AstonDB7.com. Rated as in 'excellent' condition throughout by the vendor (in regard to bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment, engine, gearbox, and interior trim), this now very collectable Aston is well worthy of consideration.

Registration No: AYT 778 Chassis No: BS11376623 MOT: ExemptOffered from long term ownershipCoach-built by Strachans (Coachbuilders) Ltd in Acton, LondonSubject to an extensive restoration in current ownershipUsed in the 1990s ITV drama ‘Poirot’Produced in 1934 and first registered on 3rd September 1934, this Austin 12/4 ‘Heavy’ Hire Car Landaulette was coach-built by Strachans (Coachbuilders) Ltd in Acton, London,. It is believed to have been one of two Landaulette’s Strachans built with a London ‘low-loader’ ('LL') cab chassis. A London coach company ordered two, chassis 76623, with Body BS113, is believed to be one of the two, acquired with the purpose of chauffeuring dignitaries around London. It carries the London registration ‘AYT 778’. Around this time, well-known taxi-cab dealer Mann & Overton had also been using modified Austin Hire Car chassis’ and catalogued three similar bodies, for taxi-cab use, by Strachan, Vincent or Jones. The Landaulette is very similar to the taxi low-loader, however, it possesses 4 doors and is coach-built to a much higher specification.Finished in Red with Black, ‘AYT 778’ retains a Landaulette mohair hood, with a re-trimmed interior, with the customary, leather in the front cabin and Bedford cord in the rear. Inside, there’s a chauffeur/passenger division. There are occasional seats in the rear compartment and will carry its driver and 5 passengers. We are advised ‘AYT 778’ was the subject of an extensive body-off restoration in the late 1990s and took 7 to 8 years and included the overhaul of the engine and mechanicals at this time, along with bodywork and paintwork and the woodwork refurbished. There is a collection of restoration photographs available, reflecting the process of the work that has been carried out, that was evidently completed to a high standard. The history of ‘AYT 778’ includes use in the 1990s ITV drama ‘Poirot’, when it was painted Black, and it is also believed to have resided in Switzerland for a time.

Intended as a rival to the Volkswagen Golf GTi, its monocoque bodyshell (complete with 'aerodeck' hatchback) boasted all round independent suspension (Macpherson strut front / trailing-arm rear) and disc / drum brakes. Powered by a 1597cc OHC four-cylinder engine mated to four-speed manual transmission (five-speed from February 1982 onwards), it proved quick but unruly. Conscious that the planned introduction of fuel injection would bring yet more speed, Ford charged its SVE (Special Vehicle Engineering) department with taming the hot hatch's wayward handling. Begun in October 1981 and overseen by Ron Mansfield, the XR3i project bore fruit in just fifteen months. Unveiled in January 1983, the revised model featured - as its name implied - Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection. Credited with developing 105bhp and 101lbft of torque, the Fast Ford was reputedly capable of 120mph and 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds. Built in Saarlouis (Germany), it boasted a more comfortable ride as well as better road manners courtesy of its lowered / recalibrated suspension. Distinguished like its forebear by 'cloverleaf' alloys and a prominent tailgate lip spoiler, the XR3i captured the imagination of a generation. A cult car among 'boy racers' of all ages, it is still prized to this day.One of the two-tone special edition XR3i Cabriolets offered towards the end of the MkIV model range, these special editions were produced in body colours of Gold, Blue or Red. This attractive example is Flambeau Red over Moonstone Grey with a Paprika Red hood. This example displays some 65,700 miles and has often been exhibited at classic car shows and events. Described by the vendor as being in ‘absolutely superb condition with an exceptional interior’, we are advised it has been regularly serviced and maintained, indeed, it was fully serviced with a new cambelt fitted within the last 200 miles and has just been fitted with a new battery plus an MOT certificate into April 2025 with no-advisories.Back in the day, the mouth-watering top specification included: Central locking; half Leather Recaro seats; electric roof with glass rear window; heated windscreen and rear window; half tonneau; electric front windows; tinted glass; a rear spoiler; electric aerial; body-coloured electric and heated mirrors; driving lights; alloy wheels; mudflaps and an immobiliser.It is offered with the original document pack, lots of receipts and a new replacement Red roof, described by the vendor as being ‘an inspired purchase given the challenge and cost of finding another when it is eventually needed’.

Registration No: MXS 707 Chassis No: PB 0660 MOT: ExemptPowered by a supercharged single overhead camshaft 939cc engineRestored over a fifteen-year period during 2005 - 2020Recent expenditure of over £10,000 to improve the carOne of the rarest and most sought-after pre-war MGs, with just 526 PB-series cars producedEqually suited to 'fast road' or competition useA replacement for the successful J2 Midget, the PA followed the general lines of its predecessor, but was equipped with a more robust version of MG’s 847cc, four-cylinder, overhead-camshaft engine benefiting from a stronger, three-bearing crankshaft and better lubrication. Chassis alterations, many resulting from competition experience, included a longer wheelbase, strengthened transmission and 12”-diameter (up from 8”) brakes. Some 2,000 PAs were produced between 1934 and 1935 when the model was superseded by the relatively short-lived PB, of which a mere 526 were produced. As the final development of the classic ‘Midget’ line of MGs the PB differed in detail in several respects to its predecessor. Most important of these was the enlargement of the engine to 939cc giving both increased torque and power and a revised dashboard layout. As always with MG cars of this period the buyers were very much sporting minded and MG were keen to assist knowing that sporting success amongst their owners could only help sell cars.MG factory records show that chassis PB 0660 was completed on 18th December, 1935, and delivered to Morris International Exports for shipment to Germany two months later. The car’s fate on the Continent is unknown but at some stage it was repatriated. Acquired by its previous keeper in 2004 as a 'kit of parts' (comprising the original chassis frame, front and rear axles, a complete set of brakes, steering components, a rebuilt radiator, a rebuilt differential and sundry minor engine and gearbox parts) from the late Peter Green, long-time Chairman of the MG Car Club’s Triple-M Register and a renowned authority on all things 'Triple-M', he was also able to source a new engine block from Mr Green that has since been stamped with an augmented version of the original number (‘2’ being added after ‘888 APB’ to signify its status as a replacement). A lifetime VSCC member and prolific collector of all things Vintage, the previous owner set out to reconfigure chassis PB 0660 as a quick, lightweight road car with the potential for competition if required.Work commenced in October 2005 and was completed in the Spring of 2020. The chassis frame was in good condition and only needed shot-blasting and powder coating, as did the front and rear axles. The front axle was refurbished professionally by Mike Dowley of Sports and Vintage Motors with new king-pins and bushes. Mike Dowley also renovated the steering box with a new steering drop-arm as the original failed its crack-test. The two steering arms also failed their crack-test so were replaced by new ones. The track rods were in good condition and were fitted with new track rod ends and ball joints. The rear axle with the refurbished differential was fitted with new racing-grade hardened steel half shafts and new bearing carriers, bearings and seals. All four brake drums were skimmed and all the brake shoes were relined. The brake activating levers and cams were all in good condition and were fitted to the back plates with new return springs. New brake cables, hubs and seals were fitted all round. The axles are attached to the chassis with new road springs and shackles, and the car sits on four new 19in wire road wheels supplied by Motor Wheel Services, fitted with new Blockley 4.00-4.50 tyres. The spare wheel has been rebuilt by Phil Hallewell, and shod with a matching Blockley tyre.The engine was professionally refurbished by marque specialist Ken Robinson, using the aforementioned new block, a new solid steel Phoenix crank, new Carillo conrods and a new set of forged alloy Venolia pistons (supplied by Baynton Jones). A new correct-specification cylinder head was obtained from Mike Dowley and this was refurbished by Ken Robinson with a new sports cam, also from Baynton Jones and new valves and valve springs etc. An original flywheel was lightened, and then balanced together with the crank, rods and pistons - A new plate clutch was also fitted. The original 3-brush dynamo was replaced by a new 2-brush example, generally accepted as more reliable especially for night driving and a new lip seal has been fitted at the top of the vertical drive to replace the original one which was prone to leaking. A very good, used Volumex supercharger was sourced from Richard Hardy of 'Vintage MG Parts', who also supplied all the correct manifolds for it. A correct, new 2 ¼” SU/Burlen was supplied by Barry Walker and Ken Robinson restored the supercharger and keyed the gears onto the shafts for safety in case of blow-back from the engine. Mike Dowley supplied a new set of close-ratio gears which were built into an original PA gearbox casing which the previous owner already owned and he also supplied a new prop-shaft as the originals were in poor condition. 'S and V' supplied a new correct PB wiring loom and a set of instruments and gauges.The previous owner had decided he wanted an aluminium body with a pointed tail and obtained one from Ray Pettit of Compound Curvatures. These are made for the ‘Q’ Type replicas often fitted to early ‘T’ Type chassis (which are actually a few inches longer than the ‘P’ Type chassis). Alan Floyd of Classic Car Panel Repairs at Worksop was tasked with shortening the body to fit - he also made the bonnet, side valances, supercharger cover, seats, floorboards front and rear bulkheads, dashboard, both fuel tanks and sundry other brackets and fixings, plus the fuel lines.The result of the above is an attractive, very light open 2-seater with a powerful supercharged engine and a close-ratio gearbox. Because it was intended to be used on the road as well as on the track, it carries full road equipment, mudguards, lights, and a spare wheel. For the track, all of these items are very easily removed. The front mudguards together with the head and side lights can easily be removed as one item, and the spare wheel mounting bracket is secured by 5 bolts which are easily accessible. The rear mudguards are each secured by 2 small brackets bolted to the body.Offered with a large box file of receipts, certificates and endorsements from the Triple-M Register of the MG Car Club along with copies of factory build records, 'MXS 707' represents the final development of the classic overhead cam MG Midget; it embodies all the very best of the breed and is truly Safety Fast!

Registration No: MH 1833 Chassis No: 6634 MOT: ExemptA notably early and charming 'pram hood' exampleAn ideal candidate for VSCC eventsSubject to an engine work with Slipper Pistons fittedPleasingly retaining its original bodySpurred on by the introduction of the Horsepower Tax in 1921, Sir Herbert Austin began working on the concept of a small family car despite opposition from the company’s board due to their being in receivership at the time. Undaunted, Sir Herbert engaged the services of a young draftsman from the Longbridge Plant, eighteen-year old Stanley Edge, and plans were drawn up in the billiard room of his house, Lickey Grange. Having invested a large amount of his personal money into the project and being responsible for much of the car’s styling, Sir Herbert was able to claim a royalty of two Guineas on each car built. Initially powered by a side valve four-cylinder engine of 696cc (subsequently enlarged to 747cc / 10.5hp) and featuring a detachable cylinder head, the new model was rated at 7.2 horsepower. Some 2,500 examples were produced in 1923 and just a few years later the little Austin had transformed the fortunes of the parent company. By the time production ceased with the advent of war in 1939 some 290,000 cars and vans had been produced.A notably early and charming 'pram hood' example of the ‘Chummy’. Also known as the Austin 7 Tourer or Baby Austin, ‘MH 1833’ would be an ideal candidate for VSCC events. Pleasingly retaining its original body, its is ‘powered’ by the reliable 747cc four-cylinder engine coupled to the correct early three-speed gearbox. It has been subject to engine work by a specialist, slipper pistons have been utilised, along with an angled head. Other previous restoration work includes refurbishment of the hood, interior and the paintwork. Residing in current ownership for the last two years ‘MH 1833’ has only covered 50 miles in that time. It is accompanied by a current V5C Registration Document however side screens are not present with the Chummy.

Registration No: 855 XVY Chassis No: 206E8138 MOT: ExemptSubject to recent a comprehensive restoration to a good standardEngine and gearbox overhauled as part of the restorationFinished in two-tone Black and White paintworkBelieved to boast its original interiorPLEASE NOTE: This lot has been uprated with a Mk2 Zodiac engine and the vehicles numbers have been updated accordingly.Introduced in early 1951, Ford's Consul (four-cylinder) and Zephyr (six-cylinder) models were notable for their use of a monocoque bodyshell, MacPherson Strut independent front suspension and hydraulic drum brakes. Able to seat up to six thanks to the provision of a front bench seat and column gearchange, the Ford duo were powered by a new generation of 'oversquare' engines. Notably rugged and surprisingly quick, the 2262cc OHV-engined Zephyr Six proved a highly effective rally car with Maurice Gatsonides winning the 1953 Monte Carlo Rally aboard one and Vic Preston piloting another to victory on the 1955 East African Safari Rally. Unveiled at the 1953 London Motor Show, the range topping Zephyr Zodiac cost £851 and boasted such niceties as: a clock, heater, windscreen washers, gold plated lettering and spot lamps etc. Though solid colours remained optional, most Zodiacs were finished in a smart two-tone livery and all benefited from a higher compression engine and improved 82mph top speed. Only in production between 1954 and 1956, just 22,634 Zephyr Zodiacs are thought to have been sold.Manufactured in 1956, this final year production Zephyr Zodiac was registered new on the 11th June that year. Finished in attractive two-tone Black and Cream paintwork, the interior is trimmed in Red and is believed to be pleasingly mostly original. Provided with a recent comprehensive restoration, the Zodiac received engine and gearbox overhauls as part of this process, as well as a full repaint with the vendor rating the engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, bodywork and paintwork, all as ‘excellent’ and the interior trim as ‘very good’. Reported to be starting, running and driving very well, the vendor notes that the Zodiac cruises well and keeps up with modern traffic with ease. Showing some 64,000 credible miles on the odometer, chassis ‘206E8138’ is accompanied to sale by a V5C document showing two former keepers. The vendor notes that the handbrake needs adjustment/attention. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: WSY 713 Chassis No: 111800475 MOT: T.B.AIn current ownership the last 28 yearsOffered with a great patina, and in what appears to be remarkably original conditionRetains its original engine and displaying just 70,975 miles on the odometerRover needed a stop-gap solution to the slow post-war sales of its pre-war designs. Chief Engineer Maurice Wilks' 'Land Rover' seemed to be the answer. His design was as much a tractor as a car. The centre-steer concept, built in the summer of 1947, had the steering wheel in the middle, mainly because Maurice had the farming community in mind when he was designing it. The car was put to work ploughing, and Maurice designed front and rear power take-offs to run belt-driven machinery. Rover quickly approved it for production, albeit without the central driving position, which proved impractical and costly to engineer. The steel box-section chassis with its aluminium body was actually designed to get around the post-war scarcity of steel and make use of the plentiful, war-surplus Birmabright aluminium. But it was also lightweight and rust-resistant, and the pioneering use of aluminium remains a feature of Land Rover vehicles to this day. A single paint colour was offered: light green.The 1595cc, 50Bhp four-cylinder Rover engine might seem under-powered today, but its 80lb-ft of torque was impressive. There was permanent four-wheel drive, leaf-sprung suspension and not much else for your £450 when it was launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show in April 1948. Any kind of extra equipment came at an additional cost, but the orders started to come in. The very first Land Rover registered was one of the Amsterdam Motor Show cars on 21st May 1948, and full production began at Solihull shortly after. Rover soon saw that the vehicle’s appeal went beyond expectations. In 1949 the British Army placed its first order. It wanted 1,878, so many, that the decision was made to paint all Land Rovers in the Army’s NATO Green and they saw their first action the following year, in the Korean War. The Red Cross ordered its first Land Rovers in 1954, and its relationship with the marque endures to this day.In 1954, Solihull made its 100,000th Land Rover and by the time the Series I was replaced in 1958, nearly 200,000 had been produced. With 70 per cent exported, the principles that Maurice Wilks first sketched in the sand at Red Wharf Bay in Anglesey had been put into practice across the world.First registered 11/12/1957 to a Military or government role, this Land Rover was sold into the civilian market in 1963 and registered under ‘AJB 621A’. Little is known of its early life, but in January 1984, the car was purchased by a Janet Martyn Ball, residing in Oxford. Ball would own the car for 2 years until 1986, when it would be passed to Benjamin Rutland Lincoln of Bristol. ‘AJB 621A’ was purchased by the late current owner on 10th December 1996. Frustrated by the fact the registration didn’t tie with the manufacture year of the car, the registration was replaced with ‘WSY 713’. The Land Rover was used sparingly on a farm, with the occasional shooting trip being most of its use. It was always dry stored and maintained as appropriate. In recent years, it benefited from a replacement Radford Bulkhead, but other than the one coat of paint it has at some point received, it appears remarkably original - retaining its original engine and major mechanical components. The odometer displays just 70,975 miles, which is warranted for at least the last thirty years and could well be correct.After the sad passing of its owner, but now displaying a lovely patina, giving it some great character, ‘WSY 713’ is offered for sale accompanied with a history file containing previous registration documents, MOT certificates dating back to the early nineties, the receipt of sale from its current ownership and much more. Recently serviced and to be offered with an MOT in preparation for sale, this wonderful Land Rover presents a great opportunity.

Registration No: C579 VPM Chassis No: WP0ZZZ91ZFS103085 MOT: May 2025Subject to a bare shell restoration to concours standard by an award-winning Porsche recommended bodyshopOver 1,500 hours and great expense spent on the restorationLess than 2,500 miles since the restorations completion and said to run and drive ‘like new’Full photographic documentation of the restoration workDesirable ‘C16’ UK-supplied exampleOne for the collector!Historically, and thus far, the most important Porsche model has been the 1964-introduced 911, which was to remain in production in much the same form for the next 30 years, albeit progressively updated and modified. With a basically similar layout to the 356, the new 911 was built on a steel platform chassis with suspension by torsion bars, Macpherson struts at the front and trailing arms at the rear. The first version of the 911 was powered by an air-cooled 2-litre, horizontally opposed six with 5-speed box first used on the 904 competition coupe. Capacity increased, first to 2.4, then 2.7-litres, whilst from 1984, the capacity of the legendary Porsche motor was increased from 3.0 to 3.2-litres and the SC 911 became the 911 Carrera.Manufactured in 1985, chassis ‘103085’ is a desirable ‘C16’ example that was registered new on the 2nd of August that year as ‘230 DD’. However, the Porsche’s life into current guise started in 2019. The restoration project was conceived by the Directors of Premier Panel Skills Ltd, an award-winning Porsche recommended bodyshop, to showcase to Porsche GB Club Members in the Surrey and Thames Valley regions the restoration skills of the team and the processes used to fully restore a Porsche. Premier Panel Skills were Porsche structural repairers for Porsche Cars GB and preferred repairers for the Porsche Centres at Guildford, Reading and Brookland. Premier Panels had won multiple awards for previous restorations in Porsche Cars GB competitions, were national concours winner in 2019 for Porsche Club GB with a 1968 911T, in addition to winning other accolades including Nissan National Bodyshop of the Year in 2014 and 2016, and Jaguar Land Rover National Bodyshop of the Year in 2020.The 1985 3.2 Carrera model was chosen, firstly due to being an iconic Porsche of the 1980’s and secondly, there are known corrosion issues with this model which reduce the lateral strength, notably the inner sills and kidney bowls. Initially shown to the Surrey Regional Club members at a monthly meeting held in April 2019 at the Porsche Centre Guildford and then at the Premier Panel Skills workshops on four further occasions throughout the project, pictures and reports on these events are available on the Porsche Club GB website.The car shell was loaded onto the Celette Jig system to check alignment of the shell and to hold everything rigid whilst cutting away the corroded sections. The Porsche received both outer sills, inner sills, kidney bowls, door slam panels, n/s/f inner wing front section, and both front wings, as well as off-side A-post and inner wing, and attention to the rear wings. A huge amount of time was taken to ensure all panel gaps are perfect. The shell was then removed from the jig and fitted to a body ‘spit’ to turn the shell upside down to allow the underside to be re-sealed. The car was returned to original position to re-seal all upper and inner seams. The shell was etch primed, followed by three coats primer. Grand Prix White paintwork was applied to inner sections before satin black was applied to areas as original specification. Stone chip coating was applied also to match original specification from factory before colour was applied. The shell finished in Grand Prix White, it then sat for a week before being flatted and lacquered.The engine and gearbox were fully overhauled, receiving a new oil pump, two new chain tensioners, new oil cooler, new clutch disc and pressure plate, all new sensors, belts, tension springs, oil pipes, gear selectors, and bearings in the process. All electrical components, fixtures and fittings were stripped down and repainted before refitting and the loom. Brake calipers, discs, pads and hoses were all replaced with new parts. All the suspension components were cleaned, shot-blasted, vapour-blasted, stripped, rubbed down and de-rusted where necessary, with all bushes replaced. All the information decals, chassis decals, paint code decals, information decals were imaged and measured before removal. Parts Department checked the availability of the decals and we commissioned Highgate Decals to make new decals as necessary when not available from Porsche and all new decals were re-applied on re-fit using images to ensure their correct location.The headlining and carpets were renewed with new original materials, and the front seat covers, upper dash cover and door trims were trimmed with new leather, and as well as the rear parcel shelf trimmed with new leatherette to match original specification. The front boot compartment carpet has been cleaned and refitted, with the toolkit roll and tools were replaced with a new set. The wheels were replaced with new, upgraded to Super Sport specification with the centres were painted to match body colour as per original factory order and shod with Michelin Pilot tyres fitted. New colour crested centre caps with body colour outer edge and new wheel nuts were fitted.The exhaustive restoration was completed in 2020 and since completion, the car has covered just 2,500 miles. It has received its first service, oil change, tappets etc and wheel alignment checked. The 911 has been displayed at the Porsche Reading new showroom at the Porsche Showcase Event last year, and the Porsche Club GB display at the Silverstone Classic 2023. A complete photographic record of the restoration process was made, with all new part invoices in the history file also, as well as documented service history prior to restoration. As close to an ‘as-new’ 911 Carrera as you are likely to be able to find, this is not an opportunity to miss, with the ‘C579 VPM’ a testament to the restorers. A truly stunning example - one for the collector! For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: PXS 775 Chassis No: 19896 MOT: ExemptOverhauled engine, gearbox, transfer box and axlesBoasts its original body tub, chassis, and combat wheelsUsed in current registered ownership for events and showsRestored in British coloursArguably more iconic than a Sherman Tank or P-51 Mustang, the Jeep is for many the definitive WW2 vehicle; a workhorse of the US and Allied forces during WW2 and kept in service all around the world for decades afterwards. Born out of the American Quartermaster Corps' 1940 invitation to submit a prototype go-anywhere four-wheel drive light reconnaissance vehicle which led to a three-way competition between Bantam, Willys-Overland, and Ford, the winning design's simple but effective chassis, ingenious transmission, rugged suspension, and flathead Go-Devil 60hp 2.2-litre `four' proved invaluable for hauling troops out of trouble. While, this self same combination ensures that the indomitable Jeep remains great fun to drive today. About 650,000 MB types were built between 1941 and 1945, by Willys and (in greater numbers) by Ford, and manufacture continued under licence in the '50s and '60s by Hotchkiss for the French army. Finding a Jeep still retaining all its original components is rare because, after WW2, many Jeeps were rebuilt on a ‘mix and match' basis, meaning it is common to find components from all three makers combined in one vehicle.Manufactured in 1942, chassis ‘19896’ is offered in fully restored condition finished as a British Jeep in wartime Mickey Mouse guise. According to wartime literature, usually all upper surfaces were painted black in this camouflage, though this wasn't always adhered to, with the paint often just slapped on. During the restoration, the engine, gearbox, transfer box, and axles were all overhauled, with ‘PXS 775’ has been kept as original as possible, and is still boasting its original chassis, body tub, and combat rims. Shod with new tyres all round, the GPW pleasingly has many genuine ‘F’ (Ford) stamped parts. Used in current registered ownership for events and shows. The vendor rates the Jeep as ‘excellent’ in regard to engine, gearbox, and electrical equipment, and as having ‘very good’ bodywork, paintwork, and interior trim. A very usable Jeep that, we feel, is sensibly guided. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: KAR 808L Chassis No: BBATMY09986 MOT: ExemptFeatured in Classic Ford magazine (Aug 2009)Build completed in 2007 by competitive rally driver Peter ElliottVauxhall 2 litre XE, 16 valve engineThe 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 Mk1 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 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally.Built over a three-year period by competitive rally driver Peter Elliott and finished in 2007. The attention to detail he applied during the build is nothing short of outstanding. The car has been lovingly maintained and has covered less than 1,500 miles since then. It remains very close to ‘as built’ condition. 'KAR 808L' was the subject of a six-page spread in Classic Ford magazine (Aug 2009) and they commented that ‘it’s a stunner’ and concluded ‘it’s one of the best new Escorts in a long time.’Peter Elliott started with a 1300 Sport bodyshell, cut out and replaced any corroded sections and made the following modifications: Seam welded the whole car; Gusseted and triangulated the engine bay; Enlarged the transmission and differential tunnels; Installed a footwell access panel (for speedy gearbox removal); Installed CDS & T45 historic-spec roll cage (seam welded and tied into suspension); Wings given a 20mm greater lip; Brightwork re-chromed; Full bodyshell repaint and brought to a weight of just 960kgPeter was looking for a bulletproof, reliable yet powerful engine and chose a specification based on a John Cleland championship-winning grass-track unit. The specification is as follows: Vauxhall 2 litre XE, 16 valve; Big valve QED Coscast head with hydraulic lifters (12.3:1 compression ratio); Kent KCD pick up cams; Vernier pulleys; UltraLite all steel bottom end; Forged pistons; Custom built Simpson manifold and stainless-steel exhaust; Twin Weber 45 DCOE’s; Facet race pump; MBE fully mappable ignition; Alloy ‘big winged’ baffled sump; Alloy radiator; Kenlowe fan; Custom alloy expansion and breather tanks; Mocal oil cooler; Uprated alternator; Rolling road set up and reading (at that point) 249bhp (6950rpm) and 204lb.ft (6050rpm).Again, with the focus on reliable performance, Peter specified and built the following transmission: Ultra-lite steel flywheel; SBD alloy bell housing; Triple plate sintered clutch; Reco-Prop 4” large flange racing propshaft; Tran-X plate type LSD with a 3.89:1 final drive ratio.This is a rally car but needed to have road manners too. Suspension and steering was specified with: Koni 2.25” coil-overs all round; 250lb springs at the front, 180lb at the rear; Fully adjustable roller bearing top mounts; Fully adjustable TCA’s and compression struts; 5 linked strengthened English axle with Panhard rod; 2.4 ratio quick rack; Strengthened steering column with phosphor bronze bushes. It’s rolling on the road on Laser 4 spokes (6J x 13) with 185/60R13 tyresBrakes consist of: Capri 2.8i vented discs and calipers at the front; Mk2 Fiesta discs and calipers fitted to rear; balance system (lever in cockpit between seats); braided lines throughout; rally handbrake.Inside, it’s finished to a very high standard. ‘Functional, everything you need, nothing you don’t’: Group N Prodrive steering wheel; Original six clock dash and dash top; Additional tacho and temp gauges; Custom switchgear; Plumbed in fire extinguisher system; OMP bucket seats; TRS harnesses; Boot mounted battery box, fuel pump and spare wheel.

Registration No: KNT 164E Chassis No: B7126554 MOT: October 2024Brazilian manufactured Kombi Luxo with the rare and desirable '15 window' configurationExtensively restored prior to being first UK registered in April 2018Significantly improved since entering the current ownership via renowned specialist Type 2 DetectivesWell-equipped with a leisure battery (on a separate circuit), sink, gas hob, USB port, stereo and fold-out ‘Z Bed’ etcVisiting Wolfsburg in 1946 to explore the possibility of becoming Volkswagen’s first international concessionaire, Dutch businessman Ben Pon was intrigued by a pared back, Type 1-derived parts-mover ‘plattewagen’ which he saw traversing the factory. Positing that the improvised hack could form the basis of another model line, Pon doodled a van with the driver and engine positioned above the front and rear axles respectively on April 23rd 1947. Although his concept struck a chord with VW’s management, demand for the Type 1 (Beetle) was such that productionising the Type 2 (Bus) was not a priority. A prototype was eventually built and its successors refined via the wind tunnel at the Technical University of Braunschweig with the result that their drag coefficients tumbled from 0.75 to 0.44 (the Beetle / Type 1 was 0.48 by comparison). Greenlit on May 19th 1949, the very first Type 2 rolled off the production line just under six months later. The initial Kombi and Commercial variants were subsequently joined by Microbus, Pick-Up and Ambulance derivatives. Nicknamed the ‘Split Screen’ or ‘Splittie’ on account of its distinctive, two-part, V-windscreen, the first iteration of the T1 lasted until 1967 in Germany. However, production of the Type 2 (T1) continued in Brazil under licence for another eight years. Not available in Europe, the ’15-Window Kombi Luxo’ featured the same basic glazing layout as the revered ’23-Window Samba’ but without the latter’s sunroof or eight skylights. The extravagant ‘wraparound’ rear corner windows common to both models were not only aesthetically pleasing but also gave exceptional all-round visibility. More weathertight and easier to curtain than a 23-Window, the 15-Window ‘Buses make for great Campers. Built during the 1967-model year, chassis B7126554 was imported from Brazil to the UK by its previous keeper a decade ago after a prolonged search using a local agent to find a structurally sound example. Stripped to bare metal the only panels that required replacing were reportedly the side seals and sundry floor sections. Painted in the striking combination of Titian Red over Lotus White by RS Automotive, the Volkswagen was also kitted out as a Camper Van with a ‘rock ‘n’ roll’ bed, twin gas hob, electric sink, multi-speaker stereo, Red / White upholstery, USB ports, 240v plug socket, real oak counter tops and ‘black out’ curtains etc. Uprated with a German gearbox that Peter Englezos of Cogbox had rejuvenated, the Type 2 also benefited from an overhaul of its 1600cc flat-four engine which gained a correct-type replacement Solex carburettor. Twin port manifold and uprated MoFoCo cylinder heads. Boasting a factory-fitted servo, the braking system was enhanced with new drums all round, while Peter Good from Volks Goods provided a replacement wiring loom. Nice touches abound such as a custom-made window wiper motor and yolk with self-park and two-speeds plus an EMPI short shift gear lever, US-specification over rider bumpers and chrome-plated steel wheels / hubcaps. A former airline pilot used to precision machinery, the vendor bought ‘KNT 164E’ from SafWat Cars for £39,449 including GTECHNIQ Platinum paint protection during April 2019. Bowled over by the Camper’s looks but less enamoured with the driving experience, he entrusted it to acknowledged marque specialists Type 2 Detectives last September / October for almost £12,000 worth of fettling. As well as improving the steering, brakes and suspension (new Bilstein shock absorbers etc), the Cambridgeshire firm re-worked the separate leisure battery circuit, tuned the engine and conducted a thorough service. Passing its most recent MOT test on October 12th 2023 with ‘no advisories’, this decidedly handsome ’15-Window’ Splittie will be driven to the auction. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, Type 2 Detectives Service Book and history file. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737

Registration No: PEY 327 Chassis No: 25974 MOT: ExemptDesirable 4-speed manual variantSubject to much previous cosmetic restoration work including a repaint in 2021One of just 592 Series I Saloons builtLaunched in late 1958, the Alvis TD21 Series I was stylistically indebted to a special-order Hermann Graber Coupe variant of its TC21/100 predecessor. Suitably reinterpreted for production by Park Ward, the newcomer's decidedly elegant coachwork sat atop a rigid box-section chassis equipped with independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension and a leaf-sprung back axle. Powered by a 2993cc OHV straight-six engine that was mated to a four-speed manual or Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission, the four-seater boasted a 100mph-plus top speed. Featuring a polished wood fascia, leather upholstery, and pile carpets, the TD21 could be had in two-door Saloon or Drophead Coupe guises and was every bit as luxurious as its contemporaries. Just 592 Saloon versions of the Series I TD21s were manufactured.First registered on the 29th January 1959, chassis 25974 is believed to be the 28th TD21 built and the 18th Saloon off the production line and was specified with the desirable four-speed manual gearbox. Originally registered as ‘140 BKF’, little is known of the early history of the car until the early 1990s, when the car was owned by a gentleman based in central London. The vendor acquired 'PEY 327' in 2020 having had a close affiliation with the cars from an early age - having known Sir Douglas Bader personally! Having always wanted one of these cars, he has cherished it and has completed a large amount of restoration work including a repaint in 2021 by Steve Cato Classic Cars of Norfolk and a number of mechanical and cosmetic touches for which a number of bills are on file - including a carburettor overhaul, replacement of the leaf springs and fitment of a stainless-steel exhaust system. The vendor now advises that the car is in 'very good' condition throughout and advises that 'although by no means in concours condition, the car presents very well as a usable and affordable Gentleman's British Grand Tourer' and we are inclined to agree! Now offered at No Reserve, this is a fantastic opportunity for any aspiring World War Two fighter pilot who wishes to arrive anywhere in understated style.

Registration No: OU09 WCT Chassis No: SAJAC43R6AMB33891 MOT: April 2025Desirable and lesser-seen Speed and Black Pack exampleJust 76,000 miles from new and five former keepersPerformance increased from 155mph to 174mph with a 0-60mph time of 4.6 secondsOffered with the original stamped service book with good service historyIntroduced at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, the second-generation Jaguar XK range (codenamed X150) was styled by Ian Callum. Deliberately evoking the E-Type via its oval grille, speeding teardrop glasshouse, and muscular haunches, the newcomer featured bonded/riveted aluminium construction, all-round independent suspension, power steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Powered by either a 4.2-litre V8 or 5.0-litre engine as per the sale car, both in supercharged or non-supercharged form, the standard-fit six-speed automatic transmission could either be left to its own devices or made to swap cogs by the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifts. A rival to the Porsche 911 (997) and Mercedes-Benz SL (R230), the Jaguar (X150) XK / XKR remained in production until 2014 by which time a mere 54,000 had been sold (compared to 212,704 Porsche 997s and 169,443 Mercedes-Benz R230s).The Speed and Black Packs added extra performance and styling menace to the already highly competent and pretty XKR. Raising the top speed from 155mph by almost 20mph (to 174mph), the 0-60mph capability is also increased to 4.6 seconds, and a performance exhaust also further releases the thunderous V8 noise. The Speed Pack also includes the addition of a number of unique colour-coded aerodynamic parts including the front lip, side skirts, rear diffuser and a taller rear spoiler – with the Black Pack, providing 20-inch gloss Black ‘Kalimnos’ alloy wheels, along with Black window surrounds and front grilles.Manufactured in 2009, the XKR Speed and Black Pack example offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being registered new on the 8th of May that year. Finished in the apt colour combination of Anthracite Black paintwork with complementary Black wheels and Black leather upholstery, the XKR was well-specified from new, with the Speed and Black Packs costing an additional £8,000 on the list price alone, and it is offered now having covered some 77,000 miles from new and has had five former keepers. Supplied with a history file that contains extensive invoices for work and maintenance, previous MOT certificates, a current MOT certificate until April 2025, and a current V5C. The original book pack in the Jaguar wallet is also included, which contains the stamped service book that displays twelve service stamps, the most recent being completed in March at 76,917 miles. Recently benefitting from new rear tyres, new rear wheel bearings, new brake pads, the Jaguar is offered with two sets of keys. A rare opportunity to acquire a desirable and lesser-seen Speed and Black Pack example. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: D-657-MAN (Isle of Man) Chassis No: GHN3/75314 MOT: Exempt‘Works replica’ for use in long distance ralliesHeritage shell with aluminium bonnet, boot lid and door skinsFord Mk9 5-speed gearbox, side exit exhaust etc,Reshelled in the early 2000s with a Heritage shell converted to MkI specification the car was acquired by the vendor in 2010. In 2017 he decided to create a ‘works replica’ for use in long distance European rallies. Sadly, ill health means the time has come to sell. Apart from track days on Southern French circuits, it has not been driven in anger.Finished in Tartan Red and White, the impressive specification includes; aluminium bonnet (louvred and strengthened), an aluminium boot-lid and door skins, fibre glass front and rear valances, acrylic side windows, light weight hardtop, nylatron main bushes, lowered springs and dampers, solid mount front anti-roll bar, custom rear anti-tramp bars and overhauled steering rack. Front calipers, rear cylinders and all brake lines were renewed and grooved drilled front discs fitted with uprated pads and shoes. The brake hoses are aero-quip with copper brake pipes. The 1845cc engine was overhauled using new pistons, a twin chain vernier timing set, lightened tappets, double valve spring and alloy caps and tubular push rods. The heavy-duty clutch is coupled to a Ford Mk9 5-speed gearbox and the engine breathes via a new set of SU carbs on a new inlet manifold and ported cylinder head. An LCB big bore exhaust manifold connects to a side exhaust with removable baffle. A large stainless fuel tank feeds through boot-mounted twin pumps. Other features include alloy radiator, catch tank, twin coils etc. The vendor advises the engine still requires tuning. The interior sports a 6-point FIA roll cage and safety harnesses. There is a plumbed-in fire system, whilst the fuel, brake pipes, fire system and loom all feed through the interior. Refurbished early MGB leather seats have matching custom head restraints bolted to the cage. The dash features STACK oil pressure and water temperature gauges and dual access to switches, wipers, horn and an engine cut-out for the co-driver. Please Note: Currently registered in the Isle of Man, the car would need to be registering with the DVLA for UK use.

Registration No: FJF 535V Chassis No: 27387 MOT: Exempt1 of only 123 UK-supplied, right-hand-drive examples manufactured (from a total of 502)Previously the resident of a private collection from 2004 until 2023Subject to a bare metal bodywork restoration and interior refresh completed last yearRecent health check, ignition overhaul, fuel line replacement, carburettor re-jet and set-up by specialists Bell Sport & ClassicFor many years Ferrari was famous only for making two-seater cars, it's very first close-coupled four-seater (the 250GT 2+2) going on sale in 1961. That car soon established a new pedigree within the brand, leading to the arrival of a new, larger, and more spacious 365GT4 2+2 in 1972, and to the car which supplanted that model, the 400GT, in 1976. All Ferraris built in this period were costly, low-production machines, based on increasingly complex tubular chassis frames, clad in hand-crafted body shells which had been styled by Pininfarina, and which were produced at the Scaglietti coachbuilding works in Modena.At this time, progression from one model's chassis to the next was evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, so even when the 400GT arrived it was possible to trace its lineage back to the 1960s, though, of course, the newcomer had all-independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. All the four-seaters were powered by one or other of the several types of Ferrari's famous vee-12 engines. Launched in 1972, the 365GT4 2+2 (of which 525 examples were built) had a smart four-seater style, but only two passenger doors, and used the familiar 4390cc V12, which had twin overhead camshafts per bank. When the 400GT took over four years later, the self-same body style was retained, but the engine grew to 4823cc and produced 340bhp. This was the very first Ferrari on which automatic transmission (a GM design) became optional, with the top speed of such cars being 156mph.In the three-year production period, just 502 400 GTs were produced (with a mere 123 of which being supplied to the UK in right-hand-drive specification) before, in 1979, it was replaced by the fuel-injected 400i, which had identical styling, and finally, the 4943cc engined 412 then took the pedigree through until 1988. Manufactured in 1979, the 400 GT offered is one of the United Kingdom supplied cars, being registered new here on the 11th of August 1979. Finished in Blue Monaco Metallic paintwork with Magnolia and Blue leather interior upholstery, ‘FJF 535V’ was specified from the factory with the automatic transmission. Acquired into the previous private collection in 2004, it resided there until 2023 when purchased by the vendor. The 400 covered just shy of 84,000 miles at the time of consignment and has covered less than 1,000 miles in the last thirteen years.Lavished with a professional renovation from 2021-2023, the 400 has benefitted from a bare metal bodywork restoration and repaint; a mechanical renovation that comprised brake calipers renovated, carburettors soda blasted and overhauled, and new downpipes; a refreshed interior with the seats refurbished and the dashboard wood re-lacquered; and the alloy wheels have been fully refurbished and shod with new tyres. Elegantly understated and seemingly great value, this Prancing Horse is offered with over 100 images of the restoration work that has been completed. A very rare opportunity with only 123 UK-supplied, right-hand-drive 400 GTs produced, and with the example offered being a freshly renovated example, the Ferrari has also recently benefited from a health check, ignition overhaul, fuel line replacement, carburettor re-jet and set-up by specialists Bell Sport & Classic this year.

Registration No: CBU 698B Chassis No: 2303042 MOT: ExemptSubject to an extensive restoration in current ownershipConverted to right-hand driveOffered with a collection of restoration photosCurrent V5C documentA rare sight on UK roadsPanhard was among the earliest automobile producers and, by some criteria, the first volume car producer in the world, back in 1890. The Panhard 24 is a compact two-door coupé produced between 1964 and 1967 by the French manufacturer. It was powered by a front-mounted air-cooled two-cylinder boxer motor: the basic design of this unconventional engine dated back to the 1940s. Also familiar from a succession of post-war Panhard saloons was the four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox and the front-wheel-drive configuration. The wheels were independently suspended with telescopic shock absorbers and a torsion bar for the rear axle. Although the 24 had no Panhard badged successor, a number of the features of the Citroën GS which appeared (after an unusually long gestation period) in 1970 respected Panhard traditions. The Panhard 24 may be thought of as the swan song of Panhard car production.This Panhard 24CT 2 door Coupe is finished in Red and offered as a right-hand drive car, however, it had resided in much drier climes than the UK, in Southern France and has been converted to right-hand drive with the correct steering rack since being brought to the UK c.2016. When it was purchased in 2016 by the vendor the 24CT was located in a barn in the South of France, where it had stored in the dry for approximately 20 years. A lengthy restoration followed and was then UK registered in October 2021. 'CBU 698B' has been in use since and has been running well. There had not been any mechanical, engine or gearbox restoration, just servicing as the vendor advised that the car ran well even after 20 years in the barn. Offered with a collection of restoration photographs and current V5c document. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Registration No: HSV 588 Chassis No: 4210 MOT: ExemptCurrent registered ownership since 1999 with just one previous keeper recordedVery original exampleAn older restoration that still presents wellIconic British Army military vehicleAfter the success of America’s Jeep in the Second World War, the British Army was eager to have a multi-purpose light truck of its own. In spite of competition from the Nuffield Organisation, Austin was awarded the contract to build 15,000 vehicles from a former aircraft factory at Cofton Hackett, on the outskirts of the Longbridge works, which was specially adapted for the purpose. Built from 1951 to 1957, Champs were quite unlike anything Austin had attempted previously. A four-wheel-drive quarter-ton truck, it utilised the straight-four, 2838cc Rolls-Royce B40 engine. The Rolls-Royce B-series engines were developed specially for use in British Army vehicles and, in their various guises, also powered the Daimler Ferret, Humber Pig and six-wheeled Alvis’. Although a civilian version of the Champ was offered, the vast majority were built for military use. Champ was actually the civilian name; officially the military version was the less catchy ‘Truck, ¼ Ton, 4x4, CT, Austin MkI’. Of the military vehicles, almost all were used as either basic cargo trucks or wireless vehicles.Manufactured in 1953, chassis ‘4210’ is an older restoration finished in Deep Bronze Green paintwork with Green interior upholstery. Residing in current registered ownership for the past twenty-five years (since 1999), the Champ is showing just one former keeper on HPI. Barn-stored for the past few years, the vendor informs that ‘HSV 588 is now running and driving well, and further notes that the brakes have been recently overhauled. A very original example, ‘4210’ is rated in regards to bodywork, paintwork, engine, gearbox, and electrical equipment as ‘very good’ by the vendor, while the vendor rates the interior trim as ‘excellent’. Supplied with a history file, this is a nicely restored example of the iconic British Army Champ. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: WAU 91 Chassis No: D95166 MOT: ExemptOnly 41,000 recorded and credible miles on the odometerRecent bodywork and paintwork restorationOffered with the buff logbook and a collection of previous MOT certificatesPleasingly retaining its original and transferable registration number ‘WAU 91’A replacement for the now outmoded Consort, the Conquest first saw the light of day in the Spring of 1953. The newcomer's chassis and running gear were direct developments of those underpinning the Lanchester 14 and included a cruciform chassis suspended by double wishbones and laminated torsion bars at the front, and conventional leaf springs at the rear. Braking was by Girling hydro/mechanical drums and steering by cam and peg. Power came from a straight-six engine of 2433cc that produced some 75bhp. From 1954, a more potent version of the car known as the Conquest Century became available. Courtesy of a big-valve alloy cylinder head, twin SU carburetters, higher compression, and high-lift camshaft, Daimler managed to hike the output to 100bhp - sufficient to accelerate the 3,117 lb car to 60mph in 16.3 seconds and on to a terminal speed of 90mph. This proved to be the most popular of the two Saloon variants, with 4,818 examples eventually made as opposed to 4,568 of the lesser powered car.Manufactured in 1955, the Conquest Century offered was first registered on the 7th of December that year. Finished in two-tone Black and Silver Green paintwork, complemented by a Cream leather interior upholstery, it is pleasingly believed to retain the majority of its original interior. Supplied new to Meridian Ltd. of Haydn Road, Nottingham, a famous company in the East Midlands knitting industry, and a business by which time was known for its commitment to good working conditions, with the site including a heated indoor swimming pool, bowling greens, tennis courts, and a hockey pitch, all for the use of the employees, so it is interesting envisaging the Daimler’s role within the company. After six years of ownership, the Daimler was passed to Ernest Bignall Esq., also of Nottingham before passing to two further owners, both out of the Nottingham area into the 1970s.Purchased by the vendor earlier this year, ‘WAU 91’ was running and driving but required exterior cosmetic improvement. Thereafter the Daimler was provided with a bodywork restoration and a full repaint. Offered now showing just 41,000 recorded and believed genuine miles on the odometer, the vendor notes that the Daimler has trafficators that are in functioning order (as well as modern indicators added), good tyres, and recent new exhaust. The spare wheel, and original tool roll, grease gun, and jack are all present, and the brakes have been recently overhauled. Pleasingly retaining its original and transferable registration number ‘WAU 91’, the Conquest Century is offered with a history file that contains previous MOTs, the buff logbook, a selection of invoices, previous V5s, service manual, and a current V5C document. Temptingly for sale without reserve.

Registration No: DLR 648C Chassis No: 5VD51 MOT: ExemptSupplied new via Jack Barclay Ltd to Mrs G.E. Davis of Gedma Investments LtdEnclosed Limousine coachwork by H.J. Mulliner Park Ward1 of only 516 Phantom Vs producedBenefitting from a restoration in the late 1990sEntered from a deceased estate and temptingly offered without reserveA replacement for the Phantom IV and Silver Wraith, the Phantom V assumed the mantle of Rolls-Royce flagship in Autumn 1959. Although, based on a derivative of the same 'Bentley 9' modular chassis that underpinned its lesser Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II and Bentley S2 siblings, the newcomer boasted a substantially longer 145-inch wheelbase, wider track and extra reinforcement. A massive, welded box-section, cruciform-braced affair, the structure in question was equipped with independent coil-and-wishbone front suspension, a 'live' leaf-sprung back axle, power steering and mechanical servo-assisted drum brakes. Propelled by a 6230cc OHV V8 engine allied to four-speed automatic transmission, the Phantom V employed a special 3.89:1 rear axle ratio that enabled it to amble along at walking pace for ceremonial duties and yet still accelerate through 100mph (if just barely). Available to coach built special order only, the model was bodied by the likes of Hooper, James Young, Chapron, H.J. Mulliner, Park Ward and H.J. Mulliner Park Ward (the latter company being a Rolls-Royce created in-house amalgamation).Despite an eye-wateringly expensive price tag when new, the Phantom V proved a surprisingly strong seller throughout its production life. Upgraded for 1963 with a new quad headlamp visage and seven percent more horsepower, some 516 are thought to have been made by the time the Phantom VI usurped it five years later. Although more commonly associated with monarchs, heads of state and plutocrats, the uber Rolls-Royce will forever be associated with at least one anti-establishment figure - John Lennon.Chassis ‘5VD51’ wears Enclosed Limousine coachwork by H.J. Mulliner Park Ward and was supplied new in 1965 through Rolls-Royce agents Jack Barclay Ltd to Mrs G.E. Davis of Gedma Investments Ltd, the Phantom’s factory guarantee was issued on the 29th of March 1965. No doubt conscious that the car would be used for numerous long journeys, Mrs Davis specified the following extras: rear squab top bolster one-inch deeper than standard, special modified central rear armrest with hinged lid, compact, notebook and pencil, cigarette case, cocktail cabinet (two decanters, four glasses, one bottle opener, two hand cushions), electric windows to all doors, special rear footrests and an electric aerial. Finished in Maroon with a Black roof covering, the interior was trimmed in Valentine's Burgundy upholstery.As well as the expected Phantom V accoutrements such as foldout occasional seats and a glass division, chassis number '5VD51' boasts opening rear quarter lights and four pull-out armrests to its front bench seat. Well used during Mrs Davis ownership, among the accompanying sundry paperwork there is a chauffeur's hand-written logbook with entries stretching from 4th November 1968 (26,929 recorded miles) to 3rd February 1982 (75,707 recorded miles). Apart from revealing that the car was principally maintained by the chauffeur and local dealer Caffyns of Eastbourne (aside from the occasional visit to Rolls-Royce's Cricklewood service depot), it showed just how far the Phantom V ventured. Beyond the frequent trips to Brighton and London, that a wealthy Sussex resident might have been expected to make, are notes detailing repeat excursions to Harrogate, Leeds, Stamford, Bury, Oldham, Honiton and Taunton etc. Whether travelling for business or pleasure, chassis '5VD51' certainly served up first class comfort; a little bit like having one's own cabin on the Orient Express.Bequeathed by Mrs Davis to her sibling P.J. Binns in 1995, the Rolls-Royce entered the previous ownership during 1996, in which it resided for twelve years. At the time of purchase by the previous keeper, the Phantom was looking somewhat forlorn. Undaunted he embarked upon a sympathetic restoration programme that saw particular attention paid to the chassis (new sills, step boxes etc), brake pipes, steering hoses, engine bay and paintwork. Pleasingly retaining its original upholstery, the Phantom V has spent the following ten years being shown at various rallies and concours events. Awarded the North of England Lancaster Trophy in 1999, it won its class at the RREC's Annual Rally some two seasons later. Judged second in class at the RREC's Kelmarsh Hall meeting just last month, chassis '5VD51' performed well on a recent test drive. Offered for sale to make way for another project, the Phantom was purchased through H&H by the late vendor in 2008.A retired motor engineer, the late vendor self-serviced the car annually during his ownership, cherishing and enjoying the Phantom, including attending numerous rallies and using most weekends until c.2018 when his health sadly deteriorated. Thereafter, off the road for around six-years, following the passing of the vendor, the Phantom has received new points, plugs, leads and servicing by well-respected retired Rolls-Royce technician Peter Bolton, and started readily and was running well during our photography session, however, a degree of recommissioning should be anticipated. Accompanied by a significant history file that contains a large selection of previous MOTs dating back to the early 1990s, sundry invoices, the original handbook, copy of the chassis cards, the aforementioned handwritten logs, and V5C document. The original vanity mirror, cigarette case, and notepad are also included. Temptingly offered without reserve!

Registration No: NYO 66 Chassis No: 21Z5104 MOT: ExemptUsed as the Palm Beach demonstrator, road test, and display car when newDriven in competition by Sydney Allard and other members of the Allard family‘Matching’ numbers example with factory fitted 2553cc Ford Zodiac 6-cylinder engine and H&A overdrive1 of just 80 Allard Palm Beach examples manufactured in totalSubject to significant mechanical improvement upon purchase by the vendor in 2018"Only a few men have designed, built, and then put into production, cars bearing their own name. Even fewer, if any, have gone on to build their own racing cars and compete in them, with such great achievements in such a wide range of motor sport competitions. From mud-plugging trials to hill climb champion, Monte Carlo winner, and Le Mans 24 hours third overall, to building and driving the first dragster outside the USA. Sydney Allard was that rare and outstanding personality..."Racing driver Sydney Allard's post-war cars combined the same virtues of lightweight, independent front suspension and an abundance of American V8 power, which had been features of his first trials special of the mid-1930s. These favourable characteristics enabled Allard cars to establish a formidable competition record in the immediate post-war years; Allard himself finishing 3rd at Le Mans in a J2 two-seater and winning the Monte Carlo Rally outright in a P2 saloon. Introduced in 1952, the pretty, alloy-bodied Palm Beach was Sydney Allard's final sports car design, employing a K3-type tubular chassis and his trademark independently suspended swing axles at the front with a coil-sprung live axle at the rear. Approximately 80 of all types were built up to 1958.Chassis ‘21Z5104’ was manufactured in 1953 and was registered as ‘NYO 66’ by the factory in August of that year. Used as a demonstrator, road test car, and display car when new, it was driven in competition by Sydney Allard. The Palm Beach also competed at the hands of other members of the Allard family, being driven at the 1953 Daily Express Rally at Goodwood Sprints by Mrs Eleanor Allard and her sister, as well as at the Welsh Rally of 1956. Competed furthermore in the hands of Tom Lush (Sydney’s right-hand man) and Reg Canham, amongst others, ‘NYO 66’ was the Autocar road test car in 1956. The first known private owner was Richard Stanley Baxter Esq of Rochester, Kent., before the ‘5104’ passed through a subsequent two keepers during the 1960s, and thereafter was exported to the sunnier shores of Australia in 1972.Provided with a comprehensive restoration to factory specifications in 1999, the Palm Beach has been driven less than 7,000 miles since the restoration's completion. A ‘matching’ numbers example, the factory fitted 2553cc six-cylinder Zodiac engine was fully overhauled in the restoration, with its original Raymond Mays 12-port cylinder head and twin SU carburettors. The three-speed Ford gearbox has its original H&A overdrive, and ‘NYO 66’ also boasts wire wheels, Marles high ratio steering box, twin fuel tanks, and Lockheed drum brakes front and rear. Behind the bench seat (which according to original sales literature should seat three people!) there is a storage area for the hood frame and tonneau cover. Winning numerous awards in Australia including two-time winning its class at the prestigious RAVC Rally, before the Allard was repatriated in 2018 by the vendor. Thereafter provided with comprehensive mechanical improvements that included approximately £1,600 worth of expenditure with Zodiac Motor Service in 2018-2019, the work completed included full brake renewal and a gearbox overhaul.More recently, ‘21Z5104’ received a new brake master cylinder in 2022 (costing £155), the clutch was overhauled in 2022 (c.£420), and the rev-counter was restored, also in 2022. Starting readily upon our photography session, and running and driving well with good oil pressure, the Allard also boasts notably good panel gaps. Accompanied by copies of the period publications and images (including with Sydney at the wheel), copies of press cuttings, copies of the Allard factory records, original letters from Tom Lush confirming its early history, original handbook, original buff logbook, chassis diagrams and engine works manual, invoices from the vendor's ownership, and a current V5C document. Potentially a rarer alternative for an Austin-Healey buyer, the vendor, who has owned both, notes that the Palm Beach is a better drive, more nimble, and quieter car in his opinion. Extremely rare, and with a very interesting history, this Palm Beach is not to be missed and has much to recommend it!

The brainchild of marque draughtsman Arthur Varney its `double dropped' chassis frame was fabricated from high tensile carbon sheet steel. Enjoying a notably low centre of gravity, the newcomer was equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, a Marles Weller steering box and cable-operated 14-inch drum brakes. Fed by triple SU carburettors, its 2511cc OHV straight-six engine was credited with developing some 87bhp @ 4,200rpm. Allied to a four-speed `crash' gearbox - complete with clutch stop to promote faster changes - the free-revving unit provided spirited acceleration and a 90mph top speed. Fine-tuned by Alvis's immensely talented chief engineer, G.T. Smith Clarke, the sports car won praise among contemporary road testers for its `perfect uncanny steadiness'. Bodied by the likes of Vanden Plas, Carlton and Cross & Ellis all of whom took full advantage of its generous 10ft 3in wheelbase and unusually low stance, the Speed 20SA topped the wishlist of many a sporting motorist. However, the four-seater proved too `Vintage' in spirit for the Alvis management who were hard at work perfecting such civilising measures as independent front suspension and an all-synchromesh gearbox. Suddenly out of step with the company's goals, it was superseded after less than two years' production (circa 351 cars) by the altogether softer Speed 20 SB. Of the fifty-eight Vanden Plas Tourers made, just thirty are known to have survived to the present day.According to its accompanying copy factory build record, chassis 9874 was despatched to Messrs Chas. Follett Ltd of London on 28th June 1932. A notably early, ‘flatter rad’ Speed 20SA, it was adorned with decidedly elegant Vanden Plas Four-Seater Tourer coachwork (body number 1824) prior to being road registered as ‘GY 6949’ on 20th July 1932. Believed to have remained in the Capital up until the outbreak of World War Two, the Alvis belonged to Lieutenant Commander Bryce Harben Clinkard of the Royal Navy by the early 1950s. A larger than life character who could count the late Prince Philip among his friends, ‘Clink’ had the Speed 20SA ‘wrapped in the finest awnings and strapped to the deck’ when accompanying him on various overseas postings. Serving as the Alvis Owners’ Club’s Spares Registrar and Technical Advisor thereafter, one particularly colourful account of a troublesome journey aboard ‘GY 6949’ that he wrote for the Bulletin has long since passed into Club folklore. Treated to a thorough two-year refurbishment (including a mechanical refresh and rewire) before being sold to John Horne Esq in 1980 who ‘Clink’ deemed was a suitable custodian on the basis that he was neither ‘a dealer nor a foreign playboy’, the Tourer then passed to Mrs Caroline Hobbs and Anthony Paskell Esq. The former loaned the Speed 20SA to the Brooklands Museum for several years, while the latter entrusted it to marque specialist Red Triangle for attention to its cylinder head gasket, suspension, steering and clutch etc during 2006. Entering the current ownership via Alvis aficionado and dealer Jeremy Wade three years later, the Speed 20SA has since benefited from extensive expenditure at the hands of another renowned marque specialist - Tim Walker Restorations of Aylesury – reputedly totalling over £73,000. As well as a very thorough overhaul of its original engine (number 10326), ‘GY 6949’ underwent fettling of its steering box, suspension, brakes, clutch, gearbox and carburettors etc. The re-trim carried out during Mr Horne’s custodianship was smartened up with new carpets and a fresh tonneau cover, while various elements of brightwork were replated. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, the Tourer remains highly presentable to our eyes. A true Post-Vintage Thoroughbred, this rakish Vanden Plas-bodied Speed 20SA is among the most desirable pre-WW2 Alvis cars ever made. Offered for sale with continuation buff logbook, V5C Registration Document and extensive history file. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737

Registration No: LJ58 CTX Chassis No: ZHWGE22T68LA07638 MOT: June 2025Just 40,800 miles from newUK-supplied, right-hand drive exampleDocumented main dealer and specialist service historyMost recently serviced in March this year with less than 400 miles sinceA true supercar and with a price tag of over £135,000 when newStylistically indebted to the Lamborghini Cala concept car penned by Fabrizio Giugiaro at Italdesign, the Gallardo entered production in 2003. A landmark model for the Santa Agata concern, its outlandish looks were allied to improved reliability. More of a ‘walk on the wild side’ than its Audi R8 sibling, the baby Lambo retained a character all its own. Based around a notably stiff spaceframe chassis, the mid-engined two-seater was equipped with all-round independent suspension, power steering, four-wheel ABS disc brakes and permanent four-wheel drive. Powered by a 5-litre V10 engine developing some 493bhp and 376lbft of torque, the Gallardo could be specified with a conventional six-speed manual gearbox or an advanced six-speed, electro-hydraulically controlled, semi-automatic which Lamborghini christened 'E-gear'. The latter enabling far quicker gearchanges than the 'old school' three pedal set-up. Unveiled at the January 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show, the Spyder variant featured a retractable soft-top and some 100kg worth of chassis reinforcement. To compensate, engine power was boosted to 513bhp and the gear ratios lowered. A true supercar, the Gallardo Spyder was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.3 seconds and 196mph. Rarer than the equivalent Ferraris, just 4,352 Spyders were sold worldwide by the time production ceased in 2013 (with right-hand drive variants being in the minority).Finished in Ballon White with Nero leather upholstery and a matching soft-top, chassis 07638 was earmarked for the UK market and first registered here on 7th November 2008. Upgraded with a Pioneer touch screen sat nav (incorporating Apple Car Play and Android Auto), the two-seater also boasts a rear-view camera, front lift, PPF front end, remote roof opening / closing, heated electric seats, Yellow brake callipers, and 19-inch Callisto alloy wheels. Entering the current (fifth) ownership during 2020, the Gallardo is warranted to have covered a modest 40,800 miles from new. The service book contained within the accompanying original book pack displays nine main dealer and specialist stamps the most recent of which is from GC Motors Lamborghini in March 2024 at 40,489 miles. Entrusted to Project-R for paint protection four years ago, ‘LJ58 CTX’ is descried by the vendor as being in ‘very good overall’ condition with regards to its engine, E-gear transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. Costing some £135,000 when new, this Gallardo is said to be ‘great to drive with a fabulous sounding engine and exhilarating performance’. A good opportunity to acquire a low mileage, well maintained, RHD example with two keys and a no advisory MOT certificate until June 2025.

Registration No: YVS 468 Chassis No: SA1725 MOT: ExemptIn the ownership of the vendor’s late-father since 2004Resident in South Africa for over two decadesElegant and sporting drophead coupe with coachwork by TickfordOne of just 2,738 examples of the SA manufactured (across all three variants)In 1935, despite its impressive racing achievements, financial pressures forced MG to withdraw from motorsport and the newly ennobled William Morris and now Lord Nuffield sold the MG Car Company to Morris Motors, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary of the larger firm. The commercial success that would be realised thus came at the expense of offering more technically advanced designs proven in competition. Rationalisation was the company's priority during 1935, and all new models shared as many parts as possible with other members of the burgeoning Nuffield Organisation. Launched at the October 1935 London Motor Show at Olympia as a replacement for the KN, the 2-Litre Model - also known as the SA - represented a new departure for MG. The first all-new model to be introduced since the company's acquisition by Morris Motors and intended to compete with products from rivals SS Cars and even Bentley, it was considerably larger than any previous MG and caused a certain amount of consternation amongst enthusiasts who feared an abandonment of virtues embodied by the marque's nimble sports cars. They need not have worried, for although based on the Wolseley Super Six and aimed at the luxury car market, the SA received sufficient input from MG founder and designer Cecil Kimber to transform it into a car worthy of the famous octagon badge. Sadly, a six-month delay between launch and production handicapped their efforts as SS Cars stole a march by introducing the similarly priced but more powerful SS Jaguar Saloon ten days prior to the SA becoming available. It is believed that up to 500 of MG’s potential customers were subsequently lost to their direct competition.Originally of 2,026cc, the overhead-valve Wolseley six had been enlarged to 2,288cc by the time SA production commenced and was further stretched to 2322cc in 1937. This was a tall engine and to allow the bonnet line to be as low as possible the twin SU carburettors had their dashpots mounted horizontally. Drive was to the live rear axle via a four-speed manual gearbox with synchromesh on the top two ratios (on all but a few early models). Wire wheels were fitted and the drum brakes were hydraulically operated using a Lockheed system. With 75bhp propelling a car weighing around 1½ tons, acceleration was necessarily leisurely; nevertheless, the SA could cruise comfortably at 60-70mph and had a genuine top speed approaching 85mph.Initially available with Morris-produced in-house four-door four-seat Sports Saloon bodywork, MG quickly offered a bare chassis for custom coachwork and the saloon was joined in April 1936 by a Tickford Drophead Coupe by Salmons & Sons Ltd priced at £398 and, that July, a Charlesworth-bodied Open Tourer priced at £375 arrived to complete the range. By the time production ceased with the outbreak of hostilities in 1939, 2,738 SAs of all types had left the Cowley factory of which 350 were exported, with Germany proving itself the biggest export market.In the ownership of the vendor’s late father since 2004, this stylish SA with handsome Tickford Drophead Coupe coachwork has led an interesting life having been resident in parts of Africa in the years following World War Two. The car’s early history is currently unknown but the presence of mounts for two spare wheels may well indicate it was destined for foreign climes from new. The property of one Keith Simmonds of Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) between 1974 and 1994, it was he who registered the car in South Africa around 1976. In the early 1990s he appears to have returned with the car to the UK and a copy V5 on file shows it being registered to his Gloucestershire address in 1994 under the current age-related registration mark. This is confirmed by a letter from marque specialists SVW Spares of Hull dated 2004.In the early 2000s it enjoyed a sojourn in Greece as evidenced by a Greek insurance certificate covering the period 2002/2003. In 2004 it passed to the vendor’s late father via classic dealer Malcolm Elder & Son. In his ownership it obtained a VSCC buff form and was entered into a number of Measham Rallies and also gently exercised on European regularity events. More relaxed cruising abilities were ensured by raising the rear axle ratio and the original crown wheel and pinion accompany the car. Due to illness, it has seen little use over the past few years but has been driven occasionally to keep everything as it should be. Offered with Swansea V5, photocopy manual and assorted invoices for servicing and parts, this coach-built MG is now only reluctantly being offered for sale by the family.

Registration No: BKE 213 Chassis No: 6025879 MOT: ExemptRebodied as a handsome 'Ulster-Imp' style special in the 2010sVSCC EligibleOverhauled and uprated mechanical components for a competitive Hillclimb / Sprint carHuge history file detailing all build bills & continuation buff logbook on fileIt is no exaggeration to say that the appearance of the 1100cc 9hp Riley at the Olympia Show October 1926 revolutionised concepts of light car design - its lower build, outstanding handling and good brakes, the products of careful detail design, were matched by the strong, light and advanced engine, which developed remarkable power for its modest size, and began a chain of development that continued until well after WWII and also spawned the E.R.A. racing voiturettes, the most successful British racing cars of their time. Breathing efficiently through hemispherical combustion chambers and 45-degree overhead valves opened by short pushrods from twin high-set camshafts, the unit simply wanted to rev, and permitted a lowish rear axle ratio that in turn gave good acceleration. The 4-speed gearbox was a joy to use. Apart from a handful of obscure, low-volume specialised sports cars, no other light car produced in similar quantities offered anything comparable.Built in 1934 as a Riley 9hp Lynx, 'BKE 213' was first registered on the 4th of May 1934. Little is known of the car's history until 1953, when the buff logbook on file states a Mr Marfit of Otley, Yorkshire owning the car. The Riley was owned by two further custodians until 1962, when a Mr Colclough purchased the car having wanted to attend events run by the now budding VSCC which was very much in vogue during the 1960s. In a poor state of repair, the body was removed and scrapped and the chassis and engine were kept for a rainy day with Mr Colclough envisioning a full-blown "Ulster-Imp" style special body being built upon the bones at some point in the future. Unfortunately, Mr Colclough never achieved his dream due to terminal illness, however, he was able to pass his vision on to the now owner in 2009 before he passed away. Some five years later, the current owner set about fully overhauling the mechanical components and chassis and commissioned a bespoke body from Brooklands Bodycraft to suit the car and match the sketches of what Mr Colclough has envisioned. The vendor's intention was to create a competitive hillclimb car which was VSCC eligible, so the engine was highly uprated with upgraded pistons, crankshaft and camshaft mated to a fully overhauled gearbox. The owner, who is a skilled engineer is his own right, assembled the components of the car in his extensive workshop over the course of the next few years. What emerged was this stunning looking boat-tailed special that is reminiscent of all the great pre-war racing Rileys that are oh-so desirable today.In 2019, the car was entered into the VSCC hillclimb at Prescott and in 2022 at Curborough where the vendor found it very competitive. However, a number of other vehicles have taken the interest of the vendor who explained that he is 'more of a tinkerer than a driver' and wishes to fund other projects, so this great Riley has been made available for sale.Now offered in what the vendor describes as an 'excellent' all-around condition, this a fantastic opportunity for any budding pre-war speed freak to get into racing Rileys without the outlay of the genuine 'Brooklands' or 'Ulster-Imp' period cars.

Registration No: LKG 352F Chassis No: 1004242 MOT: ExemptRecently resprayed in the original factory Silver Blue MetallicOriginally supplied to the UK marketSubject to recent mechanical works including the brakes, clutch, exhaust and moreSupplied with a large file of history with receipts for work and evidence of a complete overhaul in the 1980s / 1990sIn the early 1960s, Honda briefed a new, young team of engineers (the oldest being 28 years old) to design a 'Sporty' car under 360cc that was appealing to purchasers within the domestic Japanese market so that they could reap the tax benefits of such a small engine. By 1962, they had developed a car (known retrospectively as the S360) with an engine similar to their T360 Commercial truck that featured four cylinders, twin cams, a roller-bearing crankshaft and two twin-choke carburettors. This developed a whopping 33hp at 9000rpm which was outstanding for a 356cc engine. Unfortunately, the S360 never made it out of the prototype stage, but out of the ashes came the S500 which utilised the same standard design, but enlarged with a 531cc engine. In 1964 came the S600 which was up-powered again and a 'Fixed Head Coupe' was added as only a roadster was available up until this point.Launched in 1965 at the Tokyo Motor Show, the Honda S800 replaced the S600. The model featured a 761cc capable of 70hp at 8000rpm and in April 1967 became known as the fastest sub-1 Litre car in the world. It is understood that 1,548 examples found buyers in the UK between 1967 and 1970.First supplied to the UK market on 13th October 1967, chassis no. 1004242 was originally supplied in the gorgeous colour scheme of Silver Blue Metallic over a Black interior in Coupé form. The first owner is understood to have kept the car for over 40 years and performed a full cosmetic and mechanical overhaul in the late 1980s / early 1990s with documented evidence in the history file and then the car was purchased by a second keeper in around 2020 who ran the car until sold to the vendor in 2023. Immediately, the vendor spotted that the car was an incredibly sound example and set about a full external bare metal respray back to the original Silver Blue Metallic colour plus extensive mechanical work that included rebuilt hydraulics, a new stainless steel exhaust manifold, a carburettor rebuild and the re-chroming of some trim parts such as the grille.The vendor now describes the car as being in overall 'very good' condition with the paintwork rated as 'excellent' thanks to the recent works. The vendor has used the car for a number of events in his ownership (which we can confirm as we have seen the car present!) and describes the mechanical condition as 'very good', a testament to the reputation for Japanese-built reliability.

Early racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement the newcomer's reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine-cradling front sub-frame, the E-Type's combination of all-round independent suspension and disc brakes allied to rack-and-pinion steering resulted in excellent road-holding and handling capabilities. Introduced in 1968, the Series II cars were distinguishable by their revised bumper and light arrangements. Less noticeable was the increased size of the front air intake that in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the Series II better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. The range expanded with a 2+2 derivative joining the Coupe and Roadster and evolved through steady stages until the final Series 3 V12s bowed out in 1975.1 of just 1,040 RHD home-market examples built, this 1970 2+2, in Opalescent Silver Blue, has benefitted from a 'full' bare metal restoration. The odometer has been re-set post-restoration, so it now reads very few miles; prior to the restoration 'EGJ 124J' had covered some 98,000 miles. There was in excess of £20,000 in parts alone. The restoration included new wheels and tyres, interior trimming in Black Leather, headlining and panels from Aldridge Trimming and a double tinted windscreen, no longer available off the shelf or elsewhere, however, in this case it was custom-made by Pilkington. Some of the upgrades have included a high-torque starter, adjustable shock absorbers and an upgraded handbrake linkage. In the main, mechanical parts were sourced from SNG Barratt. There is a substantial history file with the car, pre and post-restoration, which includes a photographic record of the aforementioned restoration and a current V5c document is also included in the sale. A reluctant sale due to ill health. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760

Registration No: F220 TOY Chassis No: 1G1FP31E7KL119286 MOT: June 2025Desirable IROC version of the second-generation Camaro Z28A resident of the United Kingdom since 1997305ci (5 litre) V8 engine with automatic transmissionCurrent ownership since 1999 and only three keepers in the UK Styled by Gerry Palmer, the third-generation Chevrolet Camaro began production on October 12th 1981. Named Motor Trend magazine’s ‘Car of the Year’ for 1982, the 2+2-seater was considerably lighter, better handling and more aerodynamic than its predecessor. Available in four-cylinder, V6 and V8 guises, the latter proved the most popular. Manufactured in 1989, this particular Camaro is understood to have been supplied new to mainland Europe, residing there for eight years before being imported to the UK. A desirable IROC-Z variant, its build specification featured an upgraded suspension, lowered ride height, specially valved Delco-Bilstein shocks, larger diameter sway bars, a steering/frame brace known as the "wonder bar", and a special decal package. Fitted with the 305ci (5 litre) V8 engine allied to automatic transmission, ‘F220 TOY’ is finished in Red with Red and Black leather upholstery, and has a manual soft-top. The present odometer reading of 168,000 kilometres (equivalent of c.104,000 miles) is believed but not warranted to be genuine. Entering the current (third UK) ownership twenty-five years ago, the Chevrolet has been sparingly used. Rare and characterful, this striking Camaro is offered for sale with invoices for work completed, a no advisory MOT certificate until June next year, and a current V5C document.

Registration No: LC51 ELX Chassis No: WDB1290682F204658 MOT: March 20251 of a limited production run of just 100 UK market carsWarranted 59,000 miles from new and just three former keepersVery nice example with the book pack in stamped service bookOffered from a private collection“One glance is enough to tell you just how special this glorious car is. So special, in fact, that only 100 models will be produced for the UK – with each one certified as authentic by Mercedes-Benz and Sir Stirling Moss” (Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, limited edition brochure)Unveiled at the March 1989 Geneva Motor Show, the fourth generation (R129-series) Mercedes-Benz SL was styled in-house by Bruno Sacco. Often cited as the highlight of his career, the sleek Roadster was beautifully engineered. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell, its sophisticated all-round independent suspension was augmented by a host of active and passive safety features including: electronic stability control, ventilated ABS disc brakes, adaptive-damping shock absorbers, front airbags and an integral rollover bar that deployed in less than a third of a second (if the car ever sensed an impending flip). Suitably cosseting, the convertible's impeccably built cabin was protected by a fully automated power hood and featured such niceties as memory seats, electric windows and mirrors and an adjustable steering column. Yet, lurking beneath all the luxury and refinement was a performance orientated grand tourer. Launch flagship, the mighty 500 SL (known as the SL 500 from 1994 onwards) was powered by the first of Mercedes' four-valve per cylinder, dual-overhead camshaft V8 powerplants. Credited with 326bhp and 332lbft of torque, this fearsome 4973cc unit was allied to four-speed (later five-speed) automatic transmission as standard. Reputedly capable of over 150mph and 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds, the model was updated with a more emissions friendly but marginally less powerful 4966cc engine from June 1998 onwards.Intended to be a fitting send off for the R129-series, and to pay homage to one of the greatest Mercedes-Benz works drivers, Sir Stirling Moss, the special edition SL500 ‘Silver Arrow’ boasted a unique specification which included: Silver Arrow ‘777’ paintwork, Black / Silver Nappa leather upholstery, AMG body styling, bespoke 18-inch multi-piece alloy wheels, Silver brake calipers, chrome-sheen aluminium exterior trim, illuminated door sills, ‘engine-turned’ aluminium instrument and gearshift surrounds and Bird’s-Eye Maple Black wood trim. Mercedes-Benz only allocated 100 special edition SL500 ‘Silver Arrow’ cars to the UK market. Manufactured in 2001, ‘LC51 ELX’ was one of the 100 UK Silver Arrows, being registered new on the 20th of September that year. Having now covered a warranted modest 59,000 miles from new, the SL 500 has had just three former keepers and is offered from a private collection. Recently benefitting from a service by a specialist in March this year and was supplied with an MOT certificate in March too, with no advisories.A very nice example, the Silver Arrow is offered with a large history file that includes the original book pack in the Mercedes-Benz wallet that contains the owner’s manual, supplementary manuals, and stamped service book which displays ten entries, all completed by specialists, with an additional service invoice in the history file. The file further contains a large selection of MOT certificates, numerous previous invoices, a selection of former tax discs, sundry paperwork, copies of previous logbooks, ‘Own A Limited Edition Mercedes SL’ sales literature, and a current V5C document, as well as having two sets of keys. Silver Arrows are surely a must for the Mercedes-Benz collector and to honour the great Sir Stirling Moss is something all enthusiasts and petrolheads can resonate with.

Registration No: PAN 1A Chassis No: 2058 MOT: ExemptManufactured new for a Sheikh Khalid Al QasimiJust 13,000 recorded milesFor most of its life, the De Ville was Britain's most expensive production carSupplied with cherished registration number ‘PAN 1A’1 of only approximately 60 manufacturedPLEASE NOTE: This lot developed a power steering whine while being driven to the sale, and therefore the power steering will need attention.Of all the extraordinary cars brought to us by Robert Jankel's Panther Westwinds concern, the De Ville is surely one of the most practical as well as dramatic. Styled to loosely ape the massive Bugatti Royale of the 1930s, the tubular-framed De Ville was powered by Jaguar six or 12 cylinder units of the day. It also employed Jaguar suspension, steering and transmission, so was comparatively easy to drive and service. The interiors were inevitably lavish and frequently featured TV and drinks bars. Around 60 cars were built between 1974 and 1985, one of which appeared in a film version of 101 Dalmatians, for which the Jaguar engine was reputedly replaced by a Chevy V8. Sir Elton John and Oliver Reed were noted De Ville owners. or most of its life, the Panther De Ville was Britain's most expensive production car, and it is easy to see why. Offered as a four-door saloon or a convertible (although one six-door limousine was built), clients were rich and generally ostentatious; famous owners included Oliver Reed and Elton John, and Cruella De Ville (played by Glenn Close) famously drove a black and white example in the film 101 Dalmatians.Manufactured in 1977, chassis ‘2058’ was produced new for a Sheikh Khalid Al Qasimi. Finished in the wonderfully extravagant colour scheme of two-tone Gold and Bronze paintwork, it is matched to a lavish Red velour interior upholstery, with the interior also featuring a wooden dashboard, Becker stereo, and quilted style headlining. Fitted with the larger 5343cc Jaguar V12 engine, ‘PAN 1A’ features automatic transmission, and has wire wheels shod with whitewall tyres including rear mounted spare. With its Jaguar underpinnings making it relatively easy to drive and maintain, and active Jaguar owners clubs offering strong support, make the Panther De Ville today an attractive and rare classic. In current ownership for eleven years, the De Ville is now offered with just 13,000 recorded miles. A right-hand drive example, this offers a rare opportunity to purchase a De Ville with a great colour combination.

Registration No: JGU 48C Chassis No: J661E31288 MOT: Exempt1965 Series 1, 4.2 E-Type Coupe, offered in Primrose YellowImported in 1989, professionally converted to right-hand driveOwned by the same family from 1997 until 2023Fully rebuilt differential at a cost of £7000.00 in 2016Among the last century's great motoring icons, Jaguar's E-Type has always inspired loyalty and devotion. Born out of the fabulous D-Type racer, the model soon acquired a strong competition heritage of its own. Launched at the 1961 Geneva Salon, the ‘Big Cat’ proved faster and more glamorous than virtually any production rival, its Malcolm Sayer-penned lines thought by many to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motorcar. Certainly, few could match its reputed 150mph top speed. At a time when Ferrari's lauded 250SWB and 250GTO ‘made-do’ with 'live' rear axles, the E-Type utilised a sophisticated independent rear set-up with inboard disc brakes, whilst rack and pinion steering enhanced the monocoque chassis' excellent road-holding and handling; putting it light years ahead of American designs like the Corvette. Revised in 1964, the E-Type gained a torquier 4235cc powerplant and four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox of Jaguar's own design. The last E-Type Jaguar rolled off the production line in 1974, yet the model still has a unique ability to excite enthusiasts of all generations.According to an accompanying letter from its manufacturer, chassis 1E31288 was completed on 28th June 1965 and shipped to Jaguar Cars of New York. Equipped with the torquier 4.2 litre engine and preferred all-synchromesh four-speed manual gearbox, the two-seater was repatriated during 1989. Professionally converted to right-hand drive thereafter, the E-Type was registered to members of the same family for twenty-six years. Understood to retain its original ‘matching numbers’ cylinder block, the Jaguar was extensively restored some ten years ago being refinished in the fetching combination of Primrose Yellow with Black leather upholstery. Displaying a credible but unwarranted c.74,500 miles to its odometer, only 1,500 of those have been accrued since the differential / rear subframe was refurbished at a cost of £7,000 in 2016.Subject to a large amount of works in recent times including regular servicing, ‘JGU 48C’ is described by the vendor as being in ‘excellent’ condition with regards to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim and bodywork. He further informs us that: ‘The car is rust free and the paintwork is very good. The engine compartment is pristine as is the interior with no rips and tears to the leather and a blemish free headlining. The instruments are all in working order -including the all important oil pressure maintaining over 40 ib/ft even at idle - and the E-Type drives very well indeed’. Having purchased the car from at our Duxford auction in March 2023, the vendor decided to have renowned specialists, E-Type UK realign the doors for better fit which has made the car much more presentable. This fabulous E-Type is now offered for sale with the V5C registration document, Browns Lane (Jaguar) letter and a large stack of invoices relating to work performed on the car.

Registration No: DOX 996 Chassis No: 49032 MOT: ExemptOwned by one family from 1938 until 2002, then a second family from 2002-2022Believed to have only covered 20,000 miles from when new in 1938A very original example with matching numbersSubject to recent engine overhaul and mechanical workWidely considered as one of the most desirable and attractive sports cars of the 1930s and the first to bear the 'Jaguar' name, the iconic SS Jaguar 100 entered pre-production in October 1935 and was launched officially in 1936 as a much improved successor to the SS90 from which it was derived. Improvements included a host of mechanical specifications, most notable of which was upgrading the six-cylinder Standard pushrod engine from side-valve to overhead valve with a new crossflow cylinder head designed by Harry Weslake and William Heynes fed by twin SU Carburettors. The power unit was mated to a four-speed manual transmission with synchromesh on all forward speeds apart from first. With 104hp at 4,600rpm, the car could be propelled to 60 mph in 12.8 seconds and onwards to a top speed of 96mph. Although a very capable car for touring, the SS100 was marketed purely for competition work and in 1936, its first major success came when Tommy Wisdom, crewed by his wife, won the International Alpine Trial - thus beating Bugatti and creating a name for the marque on the continent. This would be the first of many successful rallying forays, which included class wins in the RAC events of 1937 and 1938 and the Alpine Trial was won outright once again in 1948. In total, 190 2.5 litre and 112 3.5 litre SS100s were manufactured by the time production ceased at the outbreak of the second world war, which also spelled the end of the 'SS Cars' name. However, the 'Jaguar' name became carried on with Sir William Lyons' company post war which went on to create some of the most exciting sports cars of all time, all of which owe their heritage to the SS Jaguar 100.According to its accompanying buff logbook, chassis 49032 was first registered as 'DOX 996' on 30th March 1938. Seemingly kept by initial owner Reginald Duckitt of Erdington for just two months, the SS100 then passed to Ashmore’s Auto Engineers of West Bromwich who sold it to Alfred Simms. The latter retained the two-seater up until his death in 1978 when ownership transferred to his widow, Elise Simms. Conscious that the SS Jaguar had been off the road for many years (a surviving tax disc suggests Mr Simms last drove it in the mid-1950s), she contacted marque historian Paul Skilleter and engaged a neighbour and fellow SS100 custodian, John Owen, to commence restoration. Mr Skilleter was reportedly impressed with the car’s ‘untouched originality’ and began to chronicle the work. Sadly, Mrs Simms and Mr Owen fell out over the project and little progress was made after the 1989 issue of the Classic Jaguar Association’s SS100 Register recorded that ‘DOX 996’ was mid-refurbishment and displaying a mere 19,600 miles to its odometer.Beguiled by the two-seater’s originality, Ben Hyams became its next custodian in 2002. Entrusted to Auto Welding & Spraying of Chart Sutton, Kent a few years later, it was not until 2013 that the SS Jaguar was finally a complete entity once more. Repainted in British Racing Green with re-trimmed with Green leather upholstery, the two-seater was barely driven by Mr Hyams due to ill health. Entering the current ownership in 2022, the SS100 was suffering from an engine malady which has since been sorted with the odometer being zeroed accordingly. The instrument now shows less than 300 miles and the vendor is confident - based on the car’s condition, originality and paperwork - that it has covered a mere 20,000 miles from new!Recent health issues have convinced the seller to switch to closed cars hence his reason for putting ‘DOX 996’ back on the market. Still highly presentable, the two-seater boasts full weather equipment (renewed during its rejuvenation) and drove some twenty miles for our recent photoshoot without issue. Indeed, the vendor considers it to be 'very trustworthy' and 'ready to use'.A rare opportunity, if you are looking for an ever-usable collector grade pre-war sports car that represents the earliest iteration of the Jaguar in sporting form, then surely 'DOX 996' is worthy of consideration.

Registration No: T.B.A. Chassis No: SRH22355 MOT: May 2025Finished in the classically elegant combination of Shell Grey with Red leather upholsteryDelightfully original interior which leads the vendor to believe that the current odometer reading of 38,000 miles might conceivably represent the total covered from newRecently recommissioned following a period of dry storage as part of a private collectionDesirable 'flared wheelarch' model designed to ride on radial tyresLaunched in 1965, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was a bold departure for the Crewe company. Their first monocoque design, it also benefited from olio-pneumatic rear suspension, power disc brakes and GM's silken 400 series automatic gearbox (though, the latter was not adopted until 1968). Such 'new technology' did not encroach on the luxurious interior with its sumptuous leather hides, rich wood veneers and deep lambswool carpets. Performance from the smooth 6230cc V8 engine (upgraded to 6750cc in 1970) was assured, the car wafting forward on a seemingly unstoppable wave of torque. Still immensely cosseting to drive, Shadows offer a genuinely different ownership experience to their mass made peers.According to its accompanying RREC copy build records, chassis SRH22355 was originally ordered in Silver Mink with a Surf Blue interior and destined for Australia. Reallocated to the home market and finished in the classically elegant combination of Shell Grey with Deep Red leather upholstery and Light Grey headlining / carpets, the Rolls-Royce was supplied new to Jersey-based businessman A. Harrison Esq. for the princely sum of £12,053.89 on August 18th 1975. Specified with Sundym glass all round, Avon radial tyres and a Blue Spot Frankfurt stereo (which pleasingly remains in situ alongside the period Pioneer Eight-Track player), the Silver Shadow returned to the mainland during late 1982. Citing the comparative lack of wear to the cabin and condition of the pedal rubbers etc, the vendor considers that the current odometer reading of 38,000 miles could well represent the total covered from new. Dry stored for a dozen years or so as part of a Rolls-Royce and Bentley collection, chassis SRH 22355 has recently been recommissioned and possesses a current MOT certificate valid until May 2025. Starting readily and running well when photographed, the luxury saloon is understood to have covered some 4-500 trouble free miles since returning to the road. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.PLEASE NOTE: The registration number in the photos has been placed on retention and does not form part of the sale.

Registration No: RMX 805R Chassis No: BBATSS14680 MOT: ExemptSherwood BDA engine mated to a 5-speed ZF gearbox and a ZF plated limited slip differentialAP Racing discs all round and fitted with Revolution 13” alloy wheelsOffered with MSA logbook and HRVIF plus current V5C Registration Document When the Escort was re-launched as the 'MkII' for 1975. The RS1800 model made its winning debut as a works Group 2 car on the Granite Rally in April 1975, victory going to Roger Clark. In that year's Lombard-RAC Rally, Timo Makinen brought his RS1800 home ahead of the field to score the car's first major international success. It would be the first of five consecutive Lombard-RAC victories for the RS1800 and its Escort RS Group 4 derivative. In 1979 the Escort brought Ford its first World Rally Championship for Makes while works driver Björn Waldegård became the first official World Rally Champion.‘RMX 805R’ was first registered for the road on 27th January 1977. Chassis number BBATSS14680 began life as an Escort L, but today possesses motorpsort credentials, with an MSA Competition Car Log Book (issued 7th December 2011) and an MSA (issued April 2012) and Motorsport UK Historic Rally Vehicle Identity Form (HRVIF issued August 2019). Previously fitted with a Ford SOHC 8V 2001cc engine it was deemed eligible for Category 3 Class D4. In August 2020 ‘RMX 805R’ received another engine, a Ford BDG DOHC 16V 1975cc twin cam, believed to be fitted with electronic ignition from Lumenition and twin electric fuel pumps. The gearbox is a 5-speed ZF with a ZF-plated limited slip differential. AP Racing discs all round provides the braking of the Revolution 13” alloys. The roll over protection system, from Safety Devices, is bolted and welded with 14 anchorage points; suspension up at the front is via McPherson strut coil sprung telescopic dampers from Bilstein; and there’s a coil and leaf set-up with telescopic Bilsteins and adjustable spring platforms at the rear. The original bodywork as been upgraded with wheel arch extensions, the whole package weighing in at some 1020kg. Dates for safety equipment, such as belts and seats, are all likely to have expired. There’s some accompanying MOT paperwork, the aforementioned MSA and Motorsport UK documents and a 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

Registration No: EYH 406 Chassis No: 3CM167 MOT: ExemptFull restoration in Drophead Coupé guise by Vintage car specialist David Wall of WroxhamEngine overhaul by well-respected marque specialist M. J. PicklesOver £121,000 worth of expenditure while in the vendor's ownership with less than 150 miles covered since the restoration's completionMatching numbers example1 of just 727 Phantom IIIs thought to have been manufacturedAlthough unveiled to the public at the October 1935 Olympia Motor Show, the Phantom III did not enter series production until May 1936. A fabulous design that reasserted Rolls-Royce's right to be considered as the world's pre-eminent car manufacturer, its cruciform-braced chassis featured independent coil-sprung front suspension, a fully-floating 'live' rear axle, hydraulic shock absorbers, and gearbox driven servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes. Drawing on decades of aero-engine experience, it was powered by a 7340cc OHV V12. Fabricated largely from aluminium alloy, this technically advanced unit boasted a seven-bearing crankshaft, eight-bearing camshaft, hydraulic tappets, and dual downdraught Stromberg carburettors. Effortlessly potent and eerily smooth, it required a level of care and maintenance not dissimilar to that of its Schneider Trophy winning siblings. Allied to a four-speed manual gearbox (complete with synchromesh on second, third, and fourth gears), it gave most variants a 100mph top speed. Only built for three short seasons, just 727 Phantom IIIs are thought to have been despatched worldwide.Chassis ‘3CM167’ was manufactured the year before the outbreak of World War Two, originally being provided with Sports Saloon coachwork by James Young Ltd., and registered new on the first of June 1938. Finished in two-tone Black and Grey paintwork from new, the Phantom is known post-war to have been in the ownership of a World War One veteran D. R. Pusser, who served with the Royal Navy, before transferring into the ownership of Douglas Cashill Farquharson Esq in the 1960s. Latterly known to have been on the road in the mid-1970s, before being partially dismantled during the 1980s and then placed into storage. Purchased by the vendor in 2010 in return for a restored XK150 Roadster, the Phantom was found to be highly original and complete but remained partly dismantled.Thereafter, the vendor embarked on providing ‘3CM167’ with a comprehensive adaptation and restoration. The coachwork was reconfigured and restored by Vintage car specialist David Wall of Wroxham into a two-door Drophead Coupé, retaining some 80% of the original James Young coachwork, and using an original 1930s hood frame. The chassis was refreshed, restoration of the wood frame was provided, coachwork adaption and doors bespoke produced, the remainder of the coachwork was fully restored, repainting in the original two-tone Black and Grey colour scheme, and comprehensive interior re-fresh, with the expenditure with David Wall over £72,000 in total. Subsequently, the original engine was fully overhauled by highly well-respected marque specialist M. J. Pickles with work including cylinder heads skimmed, all new starting equipment, the carburettor renovated, the block cleaned, and the radiator re-cored. The Phantom also received clutch renovation, steering refreshed, re-wiring, and renewed fuel lines with M. J. Pickles, with the total expense surpassing £44,000.In total, the restoration expenditure totals over £121,000 with ‘EYH 406’ MOT tested upon completion in July 2020, which it passed with no advisories. Covering less than 150 miles since the completion of the restoration, the Rolls-Royce is now ready for use and enjoyment. Boasting matching chassis, engine and gearbox numbers, ‘3CM167’ has pleasing features such as the original jacking system in full working order, original secluded storage compartments, and believed original cigar and cigarette boxes accessories. Supplied with a large history file, it includes the aforementioned invoices, extensive technical literature, an MOT from the 1970s, two folders of images of the work completed by David Wall and M. J. Pickles, and a current V5C document.Epitomising the very best of 1930s style, this Rolls-Royce represents an opportunity to purchase a fabulous open pre-war touring car.

Registration No: HHM 25K Chassis No: 8187511498 MOT: ExemptOriginal rare UK-supplied Zagato Fulvia Sport 1600Previously the subject of body and mechanical restorationOriginally in the ownership of broadcaster David JacobsOne of just 74 RHD examplesThe most expensive and rarest of the Fulvia range arrived in 1967 when coachbuilder Zagato continued their long and successful association with the Lancia marque with the launch of the Zagato Fulvia Sport. The striking fastback body featured an early use of the hatchback type third door, rectangular headlamps and even a side-hinged bonnet on the shorter wheelbase used for the standard Coupe. Being even more expensive than the already costly Coupe the Zagato proved a rare sight on UK roads despite being officially produced in right-hand drive form. Launched with the Coupe's 1298cc version of the V4 engine, Lancia introduced a 1.6 model in 1971 featuring the homologation special engine from the 1.6 HF to create an exceptional driver's car.Very rare in right-hand drive form (only c.74 are thought to have been produced) all came to the UK in Lusso specification featuring such luxuries as electric windows and leather seats. Production of the Zagato-bodied models finished in 1972. The Zagato Sport is the most desirable and collectible of all the Fulvias and undeniably one of the most striking designs of its era. The 1600 engined Sport was distinguished by a Matte Black radiator grille with bright edges, Black rubber over-riders on the bumpers, a Matte Black band on the engine bonnet, and new flush door handles. Inside, the 1600 had an oil temperature gauge, bucket seats with headrests and electric front windows as standard. Cromodora alloy wheels like those found on the 1600 HF were optional.One of just 74 examples built, this originally UK-supplied Fulvia Zagato from the final production run ticks all the right boxes for the collector. Originally registered to Jacobs Kroll Ltd (the business name of DJ David Jacobs), it remained in his care until 1973/74. It then passed to a Kim Harris, via Horseferry Motors of Westminster, under whose ownership a bonnet stripe was removed and a standard steering wheel fitted in place of a small leather rimmed wheel. At some point in the late ‘70s / early ‘80s it passed to a Graham Forge who used it to commute between Kent and London before he laid the car up around 1984. The previous owner to our vendor acquired the car in the mid-2000s and, intending long-term ownership, he treated it to an extensive restoration which included attention to the bodywork, a repaint in the original shade of white, comprehensive mechanical overhaul, retrimming in Black leather and final detailing to show standards. In 2018, it was purchased by the current owner at auction. With just four former keepers, this delightful Fulvia is accompanied by a V5, assorted invoices (Omicron, JD Heath etc), sundry history, spare keys, instruction book, warranty & service vouchers and a selection of expired MOT certificates. Now described as having “very good” bodywork and paint and “excellent” engine and trim, it further benefits from a rear brake overhaul costing over £2,500 carried out in July 2023.

Registration No: NSU 695 Chassis No: 827204BW MOT: Exempt1 of just 623 right-hand drive cars XK150 DHCs manufacturedVery rare factory automatic exampleIn current ownership for twenty three yearsMatching numbers exampleBy the time the XK150 was launched in May 1957, Jaguar had won Le Mans four times and was about to do so once again - what a backdrop against which to market a new sports car. Though the newcomer was a logical progression of the XK140, subtle changes to the bodywork gave this final iteration of the XK models a distinctly more modern air. The split windscreen was replaced with a single sweep of toughened glass and the scuttle height was raised, along with the waistline. The bonnet was widened and the bulkhead on the Roadster was moved rearwards by four inches. Inside, the walnut dashboard of the XK140 was replaced by one trimmed in leather. Thinner doors gave more interior space. The standard engine was the 3.4-litre DOHC straight-six unit of the XK140, but most early 150s were fitted with the optional SE version that sported a cylinder head with larger exhaust valves and a pair of 1.75-inch SU carburettors. Still more power was available from 1958 in the form of the 'S' engine and its straight-port head linked to three SUs, for which 250bhp was claimed. The XK150 was also the first production Jaguar to be equipped with disc brakes. At launch, the XK150 was offered in Fixed Head Coupe (FHC) and Drophead Coupe (DHC) guise, the Open Two-Seater Roadster (OTS) following in 1958. By the time the model was superseded by the E-Type, some 4,445 FHCs, 2,672 DHCs and 2,265 OTSs had been produced.Chassis ‘827204BW’ was manufactured in 1958 and is one of just 623 original right-hand drive XK150 Dropheads. Interestingly supplied new to Ireland, the Jaguar is finished in Cream paintwork with a Black hood and has a complementary Red leather interior upholstery. A ‘matching numbers’ example, ‘NSU 695’ features its original 3.4-litre engine, allied to the very rare factory three-speed Borg-Warner automatic transmission. Returning to the United Kingdom mainland in 1989, the XK150 has had just four keepers since the Jaguars return and has resided in the vendors ownership for the last twenty-three years. Used widely during the vendor’s ownership of the XK150, the has benefitted from sensible upgrades during this time, including fitment of seat belts. Provided with an overhaul of the Borg-Warner gearbox during the current custodianship, the XK150 has further benefitted from a recent front brake overhaul and a new radiator.Described by the vendor as being a ‘very honest and straight example’, the vendor rates chassis ‘827204BW’ as being in ‘very good’ condition in regard to the bodywork and paintwork, and as having an ‘excellent’ engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, and interior upholstery, noting that even the clock and fuel gauge work! Offered with a large history file, ‘NSU 695’ is supplied with a Heritage Certificate, a large selection of invoices, sundry paperwork and current V5C document. A highly desirable ‘matching’ numbers, original right-hand drive, automatic transmission example, this XK150 has much to recommend it.

Registration No: V445 DBC Chassis No: SDKRLKRXCX0021566 MOT: June 2025Factory built and re-painted to match the first owner's then Ferrari in Grigio TitanioReputedly 1 of just 9 VX Supersprints made and festooned with extrasFull rollcage, Bilstein adjustable suspension all round, plumbed-in fire extinguisher, high-backed bucket seats with harnesses, lightweight interior trim, carbon fibre wing guards etcCharacterful Vauxhall / Holden 8-valve four-cyliner engine (believed to displace 1.8 litres) fed by twin Weber carburettors and allied to five-speed manual transmission (with a long first gear).Full weather equipment: doors, full length tonneau and hood (the latter fitting over the rollcage)Super rare and super fun!PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been told that ‘V445 DBC’ was professionally built by Caterham Midlands (then trading as the Classic Carriage Company of Mallory Park) as a Classic VX Supersprint model but with a 1.6 litre 8-valve engine (and not a 1.8 litre unit as previously thought). Therefore, it is not one of the nine 1.8 litre Supersprint models but remains an unusually well specified example. We are further informed that the powerplant has been fettled by Scholar Racing Engines in the past and the gearbox refurbished etc. The Caterham now possess a MOT Certificate valid until June 2025.Launched in 1957, the Lotus 7 was essentially a racing car for the road. Available in both fully assembled and kit forms, the two-seater was a simple but very effective design. Its elegant spaceframe chassis instantly transformed the dynamics of the most humdrum saloon car mechanical components. A giant killer in competition, the Seven was evolved through four series but as Chapman's road car aspirations pushed upmarket so his enthusiasm for the low profit 'kit car' waned. However, by the time Lotus ceased production in 1971 a good number of its clients had become addicted to the little sports car. Among them was Lotus agent Caterham whose belief in the design saw them buy all the tooling, presses and dies for the Seven from Lotus in 1973. Settling upon the Series III as the best of the breed they restarted production that year and have yet to stop.By the late 1990s, Ford’s 1700cc ‘X-flow’ engine was becoming harder to source. Casting around for a suitably characterful replacement, Caterham settled on a 1600cc OHC Vauxhall unit. Reworked to run on twin Weber carburettors, the new powerplant was fitted to the Classic Seven and Classic Seven Supersprint (albeit it was reportedly enlarged to 1800cc / 120bhp for the latter application). Losing out to its contemporary DOHC Rover K-Series powered siblings which were deemed to be more powerful and sophisticated, just nine Classic Seven Supersprint VX models are understood to have been sold. Factory-built, chassis 0021566 was issued with an IVA / SVA certificate on 21st December 1999 before being road registered as ‘V445 DBC’ on January 1st 2000. Reputedly re-painted in Grigio Titanio to match its first owner’s then Ferrari, the Caterham boasted an enviable specification with a full rollcage, Momo steering wheel, plumbed-in fire extinguisher, Bilstein adjustable suspension all-round, high-backed bucket seats, carbonfibre rear wing guards and full weather equipment. An engineer by profession, the vendor is happy to warrant the 6,000 miles shown by the odometer as representing the total covered from new due to the lack of wear and tear shown by the Caterham. Super fun and super rare, ‘V445 DBC’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737

Registration No: CMM 828 Chassis No: 24077 MOT: ExemptOwned by the vendor since 1973 and toured all over Europe within his 51 years of custodianshipTreated to a bare metal restoration in the late 1970sLater twin carburettor specificationA very well-maintained example now requiring cosmetic attention and supplied with one of the most extensive history files we have seenIntroduced at the March 1950 Geneva Salon, the Alvis TA21 was powered by a brand new 3 litre, straight-six OHV engine. Featuring a seven-bearing crankshaft and near ‘square’ (84 x 90) bore and stroke dimensions, it proved notably smooth and flexible. Based around a sturdy box-section chassis equipped with independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a 'live' Salisbury back axle, telescopic shock absorbers and four-wheel Girling hydraulic drum brakes, the TA21 was a natural rival to the Bentley MkVI and Lagonda 2.6 litre. Available in either Mulliner Sports Saloon or Tickford Drophead Coupe guises, it was deemed by Autocar magazine to be fitting for ‘discerning owners who appreciated quality and good handling as well as mere performance’.First registered on 18th June 1951, chassis 24077 was first registered as 'MUR 635' and sold by Royston Motor Co Ltd to Wallace King Limited of Prince of Wales Road, Norwich. Originally delivered in Grey over a Red Leather interior. Within three months the car was sold on to a Mr S Wagner of Hendon, London and passed through a further three owners before being acquired by the current owner and vendor on the 7th April 1973 for the princely sum of £165. Having purchased the now rather tired looking Alvis, he then decided to embark upon a full overhaul which was completed in 1979 which included bodywork, paint and mechanical componentry. A well known figure in the Alvis Club, the vendor has attended numerous club rallies both domestic and across Europe and has regularly used the car throughout the whole of his ownership. Fondly and rather aptly named 'The Mistress' by his late wife, the vendor has compiled one of the most extensive history files for any car that we have seen and it is easy to lose count of bills from marque specialists Red Triangle and Chris Prince plus other suppliers dating all the way back to 1973. Having enjoyed the car for over fifty years, the restoration completed all the way back in 1979 is now looking cosmetically a little tired, however the vendor describes the TD21's mechanical condition as 'excellent' and that the overall structural condition as 'good'. With all those years of ownership and the acquisition and subsequent full restoration of a Drophead Alvis, the vendor has now decided to part company with 'The Mistress', hoping that a new owner will cherish the car and continue the story with hopefully many more miles of happy motoring ahead!

Registration No: VY 5306 Chassis No: PA0518 MOT: ExemptPurchased in a dismantled state in the 1990s and subsequently restoredBuff logbook and V5C are presentKept off the road in heated storage for last 5/6 years, it requires some recommissioningBy the 1930s, thanks to pricing and low running costs, Sir William Morris's little sports cars had proved hugely popular, many being employed for motor sporting weekend work. Indeed, there was little to rival the Midget, the P Type being launched in March 1934 as a replacement for the J2. At £222, it was claimed to have 100 new and improved features. Available in two- or four-seater guises, the PA's longer leaf-sprung chassis was stronger and the drum brakes were larger and more powerful. The OHC 847cc engine capacity was more robust and smoother running - the 35bhp at 5600rpm being sufficient to power the lightweight two-seater to a very creditable top speed of 76mph. The four-speed non-synchromesh gearbox had been strengthened and improved to cope with this new level of power and the front suspension included Hartford friction dampers while the rear featured transversally mounted hydraulic units. The newcomer rode on centre-lock wire wheels. A total of 1,973 MG PAs are said to have left the Abingdon plant before the model was supplanted by the PB.First registered on the 29th of March of 1934, ‘VY 5306’ left the factory with the 847cc engine and finished in Green with a Green leather interior. Previously having seen its main restoration work from 2018 to 2023, the car had been purchased, as a dismantled car, in the 1990s prior to being restored gradually over the years. Alas, today the beloved car is being sold due to the passing of the owner. Supplied with the original buff logbook included as part of the sale, the PA has not been driven for 5 or 6 years. Stored in a heated environment and started and run at the time of entry it would be recommended that a new custodian carefully recommission the PA before being put back on the road, where it should be, and enjoyed. The vendor has described the PA as ‘very good’. It’s offered with the buff logbook and the V5C. For more information, please contact: John Markey john.markey@handh.co.uk 01428 607899

Registration No: TO 9206 Chassis No: 2125K MOT: ExemptPresented in remarkably solid 'garage find' condition having been laid up since the early 1990sConverted to conventional pedal layout by previous owner for ease of drivingRetained on its original registration numberIn long term ownership since the early 1990's and now offered as part of a deceased estateThe 1920s witnessed Sunbeam win the French and Spanish Grand Prixs, finish second at Le Mans, set numerous Land Speed Records and cause Henry Royce consternation regarding the quality and refinement of its products. Introduced in 1926, the Twenty (20.9hp) was powered by a 2916cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Reputedly capable of over 70mph (coachwork permitting), the newcomer shared numerous drivetrain components with its glamorous 3-Litre Super Sports sibling. Available in Tourer, Fixed Head Coupe, Folding Head Coupe, Coachbuilt Saloon, Weymann Saloon and Rally Weymann Saloon guises, some 2,560 20.9hp cars are thought to have been made before the model was revised for 1931. Though, today survivors are comparatively few and far between.First registered on the 31st January 1929, 'TO 9206' was built as a Coachbuilt Saloon with in-house bodywork by Sunbeam complete with a Divider. Little is known about the early life of the car, but an accompanying letter dated March 2012 within the history file from the son of one of the previous owners suggests that the first owner may have been a Mr Percy Read. What the letter does tell us however is that Mr A A Attwood (the writer's father) of Whitegates, Takeley, who was a motor engineer pre-war and worked as a toolmaker in a munitions factory during the war years, purchased the car in 1942 for the princely sum of £80 from Reads Garage of Takeley and used the car for trips to work during the war years and then spent most of his weekends overhauling the car. Mr Attwood's son fondly remembered his father fitting the folding bench seat to the partition and taking his children out on trips whenever petrol rationing would allow. Mr Attwood owned the car until 1968 when he sold it, two years prior to his passing. After passing through the hands of more dedicated enthusiasts, 'TO 9206' was then sold via RTS Auctions in Norwich to Mr Bird, the most recent owner, in November 1992. Mr Bird's widow recalled that Mr Bird used the car sparingly before laying the car up in the heated garage of the family home in 1993 with the intent to overhaul it as timed passed. Unfortunately, Mr Bird's passing in 2016 meant that this never came to fruition and the car remained up on the blocks that it had been jacked onto until H&H were asked to step in to sell the car.Upon removal of the car from its hiding place of over thirty years, we were pleased to find a remarkably solid car whereby most of the bodywork appears to be rust free, with the wooden frame also appearing to be in fine order for the age. The car rolled freely on its own wheels out of the garage and the engine turns over on the crank handle - please note we have not tried to start it so the car is offered in non-running condition.Now to be sold strictly as viewed on a 'No Reserve' basis, this excellent example of the now largely forgotten Sunbeam marque is surely worth the efforts of any enthusiast or collector; offering a rewarding project that can be sympathetically recommissioned or subject to full restoration.

Registration No: ABW 186G Chassis No: 4335241 MOT: July 2024DS Pallas converted professionally to Chapron specificationUsed extensively since 2007 covering some 70,000 kilometresProvided with some £22,000 worth of expenditure in the last ten yearsSupplied with a large history fileBeautifully sleek and extravagant design!Proof to some that Planet Earth is periodically visited by little green men from beyond the stars, the front-wheel drive Citroen DS was introduced to a spellbound Paris Salon on the 5th of October 1955. Responsible for unleashing more technological 'brainstorms' upon the field of automotive design than any production car before or since, its wonderfully futuristic 'speeding teardrop' profile was penned in-house by Flaminio Bertoni. Featuring an olio-pneumatic operating system that controlled its self-levelling suspension, power steering, semi-automatic gear change, and brakes, the big Citroen offered an uncannily smooth ride. The choice of high-ranking politicians and celebrities alike, it quickly drew the attention of coachbuilder Henri Chapron. Anxious to showcase his talents on this motoring icon, his first DS-based La Croisette Cabriolet appeared in 1958. A little ungainly, it nevertheless persuaded Citroen that a factory-sanctioned convertible was a good idea.With this in mind, they approached Chapron the following year. Fruit of their union, the resultant Usine Decapotable was unveiled at a special press launch in Autumn 1960. Exceptionally sleek, its one-piece rear deck was a masterstroke. Available to special order only, it was twice the price of an ordinary DS saloon and consequently hand-made in tiny numbers. The adoption of fuel injection (or 'Injection Electronique' / IE) some two years later finally gave the model performance to match its looks. Credited with developing 139bhp @ 5,500rpm, the DS21 IE was reputedly capable of 118mph. Of the 1,456,115 DSs manufactured during the model's twenty-year production run just 1,325 were Decapotables, and enormously sought after, they have witnessed a meteoric rise in values over the last few years. Unsurprisingly then, conversions have been completed by several coachbuilders since with great quality.Manufactured in 1969, the DS 20 offered was supplied new to France and is fitted with the short-stroke 1985cc straight-four engine unit. Boasting the luxury Pallas upgrade (after the Greek goddess Pallas Athena), this included comfort features such as better noise insulation, a more luxurious (and optional leather) upholstery, driver's seat with height adjustment, and external trim embellishments. Finished in Gris Palladium paintwork, the DS interior upholstery is trimmed in Black leather and a Black hood (which would benefit from renewal). Arriving on the shores of the United Kingdom in 1998, where it was provided with a Decapotable conversion by the Oxford French Car Company, and thereafter was used as their demonstrator vehicle. Believed to be one of only three such conversions they made, the work has been carried out to a very high standard and only the most ardent Citroen buff would be able to distinguish it from a genuine one – even with a Chapron plate under the bonnet.Sold through French car aficionado Olivier Houiller to its longest-term United Kingdom owner in 2007, the gentleman retained the Decapotable until 2019. Maintaining the Citroen religiously throughout his ownership, he used it extensively both here and abroad, including a trip to the Italian DS gathering in Rimini in 2017 when it reportedly never missed a beat, cruising happily at 80mph and won an award for the furthest travelled car (2,400 miles). Covering some 68,000 kilometres during his ownership, the owner at the time was passionate about using the Citroen with the hood down in all conditions, providing some excellent images from the car's escapades. In 2016, it was loaned to Practical Classics magazine for a trip to Paris and back which it also completed without drama, with a copy of the featuring magazine in the history file. Other notable trips include touring the Alps and events with the Chapron Club.Chassis ‘4335241’ has benefitted from some £22,000 worth of expenditure in the last ten years with the improvements including a bare metal repaint in Gris Palladium costing £11,400 alone in 2014, and a thorough mechanical overhaul at a cost of over £10,000 in 2015/16, when it went back to the Citroen Conservatoire in Aulnay-sous-Bois, with the improvements including a full engine overhaul with new pistons, renewal of the brakes and suspension, and a new wiring loom. Other servicing work was carried out by marque specialists Citroen Classics of Staines and BL Autos of Welwyn Garden City. A new power steering rack, a new starter motor, and an overhauled speedometer have also been provided, plus a host of other items. Most recently benefitted from over £600 worth of improvements with Citroen Classics of Stains in 2021, the work completed included bodywork details, mechanical parts, and servicing.A semi-automatic model, it also has a wonderful Jaeger Sports dash, swivelling headlights, and a stainless steel exhaust. Accompanied by a large history file that contains a large collection of invoices, previous MOT certificates, a workshop manual, images of the car's escapades, and a V5C document with four former keepers. Freshly serviced and provided with a new coil and 123 electric ignition distributor in preparation for the sale, the vendor rates the engine, gearbox, and interior trim as ‘excellent’, electrical equipment as ‘very good’, and bodywork and paintwork as ‘good’. On offer here at a fraction of the price of a genuine factory-built Decapotable, this expertly maintained and extensively used DS has a current MOT certificate.

Registration No: NFP 803M Chassis No: GHN5339221G MOT: ExemptCurrent ownership since 2018The subject of an extensive restoration recently completedCurrent V5c document and a collection of invoicesPhotographs included of the restorationNew Minilite style alloy wheels shod with fresh tyresOverhauled suspension and braking systemReady to be used and enjoyedIntroduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'. Based around a monocoque chassis featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, its 1798cc 'B' series four-cylinder engine was allied to a four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph, the provision of front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering greatly aided control. The MkII (’GHN5’ chassis numbers from 1969 onwards) MG B, had a 5 main bearing engine with alternator, negative earth and, at last, received a new gearbox with synchromesh on all four forward speeds.In current ownership since 2018 ‘NFP 803M’ has been the subject of an extensive restoration which has just recently been completed. The extensive work carried out has involved many parts being replaced and the body completely restored including new panels and a fresh coat of paint in Flame Red. Mechanically the brakes, suspension and engine have all been overhauled. A new Mohair soft top has been added plus new Minilite style alloy wheels shod with fresh tyres. The MG is offered with photographs of the restoration, collection of invoices and current V5c document. This smart looking example is ready to be used and enjoyed.

Registration No: VH 2502 Chassis No: GVO15 MOT: ExemptEntered from a large, private collection in which it has resided since 1991Notably late 20hp with a beautifully appointed interiorWell proportioned six-light coachworkEngine overhauled during the current ownershipFeatured in 'Downton Abbey' and 'Mr Selfridge'Intended to broaden the marque's reach beyond the fabulously rich to the merely very wealthy, the Rolls-Royce 20hp was introduced in 1922. A more radical design than its illustrious 40/50hp Silver Ghost sibling, the newcomer was based around a 10ft 9in wheelbase ladder-frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, rear-wheel brakes and fully floating 'Hotchkiss Drive' back axle. The first Rolls-Royce engine to feature overhead valvegear, its 3127cc straight-six was designed to run at anywhere between 150rpm and 3,500rpm. Priced at £1,100 in bare chassis guise, the 20HP was not only less expensive than the Silver Ghost but also lighter and more responsive to drive too. Progressively updated with a four-speed manual gearbox and all-wheel braking, the 'baby' Rolls remained in production until 1929 by which time some 2,940 are thought to have been made.According to information kindly supplied by leading Rolls-Royce historian and author John Fasal Esq, chassis GVO15 was taken off test at the Derby Works on 23rd July 1929 and despatched to Messrs Rippon Bros where it was clothed as a Six-Light Saloon. Sold new to H.P. Nelson Esq. of Dawndon House, Spring Hill, Nelson, Lancashire, it was the second 20hp he had taken delivery of in as many years (his 1928 acquisition being a Barker Cabriolet). Notably well-appointed, the Six Light Saloon is a testament to Rippon Bros’ craftsmanship featuring an ingenious ‘parallelogram’ sunroof, external tinted Auster sun visor, quick drop driver’s window, occasional bench seat, rear luggage grid, privacy blinds, individual door locks and metal-edged running boards etc. First registered in Huddersfield (or so its original ‘VH 2502’ number plate would imply), the Rolls-Royce had migrated to North Wales by the late 1980s. The subject of much restoration work prior to entering the current family ownership in 1991, the paintwork is no longer perfect but the doors line up well and open and close with ease. Most of the leather upholstery has been renewed over time but the headlining and numerous other fittings and fixtures are pleasingly thought to be those installed by Rippon Bros. Treated to a thorough overhaul by the vendor’s late father, the factory-fitted engine (number E7Z) started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Forming part of a large private collection for the past thirty-three years, ‘VH 2502’ has paid its way by appearing in the hit television series Mr Selfridge and Downton Abbey. A notably late and handsome 20hp, chassis GVO15 is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and sundry paperwork.
