1950 HUMBER SUPER SNIPE MKII DROPHEAD COUPE RARE TICKFORD DHC, RESTORED CIRCA 2000 Estimate £18000 - 20000 Registration Number LNB 853 Chassis Number 8805869HXO Engine Number MRO31615 Engine Capacity 4088 Paint Colour BLACK Trim Colour BEIGE MOT Expiry Date DEC 2007 Introduced in 1948, the Humber Super Snipe MKII had a somewhat transatlantic look about it thanks to the adoption of faired-in headlamps and rear wheelarch spats. Though, the rich wood and leather ambience of its interior was decidedly more Hyde Park than Central Park. Based around a cruciform-braced chassis equipped with independent transverse-leaf front suspension, a 'live' back axle and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes, the newcomer benefited from a longer wheelbase and wider track than its predecessor. Powered by a torquey 4086cc straight-six sidevalve engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of over 80mph (an impressive figure at the time). Upholding Humber's reputation for luxury, build quality and value, the Super Snipe MKII soon became a favourite among businessmen and government officials alike. Although, most were sold as four-door saloons, the model could also be had in limousine, estate car and drophead coupe guises - the latter variant being the work of renowned coachbuilders Tickford.Finished in black with beige leather upholstery, this particular example is variously described by the vendor as being in "good" (interior trim, wheels / tyres), "very good" (engine, chassis, bodywork, paintwork), "rewired" (electrical equipment) or "excellent" (manual gearbox) condition. In addition to being "restored over six years ago", the past twelve months or so have apparently seen 'LNB 853' treated to a replacement engine and new clutch (interestingly, the exchange powerplant is said to have covered "only 15,000 miles" prior to being removed from the donor vehicle). Sporting a black mohair hood and riding on fresh whitewall tyres, the big Humber is understood to "drive superbly". An imposing coachbuilt drophead coupe, this smart Super Snipe MKII is offered for sale with "a list of previous keepers", "all MOT certificates from 1991", current MOT certificate valid until April 2007 and historic class (free) road tax valid until June 2007.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle comes with an MOT certificate until April 2007 and not December as stated in the catalogue details.

1950 JAGUAR XK120 ROADSTER ORIGINAL RHD & VERY NICELY RESTORED Estimate £30000 - 34000 Registration Number 287 HYX Chassis Number 660326 Engine Number W25007 Engine Capacity 3442 Paint Colour SILVER Trim Colour RED MOT Expiry Date AUG 2007 Famously built as a mere showcase for Jaguar's new 3,442cc XK twin-cam straight-six engine, the XK120 Roadster caused a sensation when it was unveiled at the 1948 London Motor Show. Literally flooded with orders, Jaguar began limited hand-built production soon thereafter (although, it was not until 1950 that the factory was sufficiently 'tooled-up' to discard aluminium in favour of steel for the curvaceous bodywork). Utilising a shortened MKVII chassis, the lithe XK120 possessed exceptional performance and roadholding compared to its peers. Such dynamic excellence was rewarded with victory in the 1950 RAC TT at the hands of Sir Stirling Moss and first place in the 1950 Alpine Trial. The following year brought two Alpine Cups and wins in the RAC, Tulip and Liege-Rome-Liege Rallies.Finished in metallic silver with red leather upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in "good or as seen" condition with regard to its 3442cc engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres. A comparatively early car (RHD XK120 Roadster production began with chassis number 660001), '287 HYX' is said to have undergone some restoration work at the hands of coachbuilders Coleman Milne before entering the current ownership during April 1996. Benefiting from an electric fan and 12-volt battery conversion, this sleek Jaguar is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until August 18th 2007 and historic class (free) road tax valid until June 2007.

1991 JAGUAR XJS 5.3 LITRE CONVERTIBLE XJS REG NO. & REPUTEDLY 56,000 MILES Estimate £5000 - 6000 Registration Number J777XJS Chassis Number 170545 Engine Number 85075394SB Engine Capacity 5343 Paint Colour WHITE Trim Colour MAGNOLIA MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. Launched in 1975, Jaguar's XJS was never envisaged as a direct replacement for the E-Type. More of a soporific grand tourer than an out-and-out sports car, it was designed to seamlessly blur borders rather than blast down back roads. To this end, it was equipped with automatic transmission as standard. Though, when fed the quoted 295bhp and 318lbft of torque developed by a post 1981 H.E. (high efficiency) 5.3 litre V12 engine, this still resulted in a claimed top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in less than eight seconds. Introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, the long awaited full convertible version featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood (complete with heated glass rear window). Underpinned by the same all round independent coil-sprung suspension and power assisted rack and pinion steering as its fixed head coupe siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Priced at some £40,000, a waiting list was quick to form.Finished in gleaming white with blue-edged magnolia leather upholstery, this particular example is variously described by the vendor as being in "good" (interior trim, electrical equipment, wheels / tyres) or "very good" (engine, automatic transmission, chassis, bodywork, paintwork) condition. Reportedly benefiting from full service history up until 52,500 miles, the Jaguar is believed but not warranted to have covered a mere 56,159 miles from new. Further understood to have had just two registered keepers, the appropriately registered 'J777 XJS' sports "a dark blue mohair hood, matching mohair hood cover and winter 'hood up' cover". Riding on correct-type lattice alloy wheels, it is hoped that this "excellent luxury summer tourer" will possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. While other items set to accompany the car include the aforementioned service history, a current road tax disc (valid until August 31st 2007) and Jaguar tool box / kit.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle comes with an MOT certificate until February 2008.

1984 FORD SIERRA XR8 BELIEVED TO BE ONE OF 200 BUILT Estimate £3500 - 4500 Registration Number B950JNT Chassis Number CSBAEY88885 Engine Number LY0086 Engine Capacity 5000 Paint Colour WHITE Trim Colour GREY MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. The aerodynamic bodyshape of the October 1982 launched Ford Sierra caused quite a stir among traditionally conservative Cortina buyers but it was in terms of driver appeal, comfort and space efficiency light years ahead of its predecessor. Sporting models were quickly launched to boost the car's image among enthusiasts, the first being the May 1983 XR4i fitted with a 2.8 litre injected engine in a new 3-door bodyshell and distinctive 'bi-plane' rear spoiler. The XR4i was developed into the four-wheel drive XR4x4 in 1985 and of course the ultimate sporting Sierras were the RS Cosworth models first launched in 1986. However, one of the most exciting Sierra derivatives was never offered to the UK buyer as it originated from Ford's South African plant. Purely a homologation special, the 1984 XR8 looked on the surface like a 5-door version of the XR4i with identical bi-level spoiler but was very different under the skin. A 5.0 litre 302 cu in V8 from the Mustang GT was shoe-horned under the bonnet complete with a four-barrel Holley carburettor and other uprated components including AP front and Tevas rear brakes, Granada differential and twin cooling fans plus unique Ronal alloy wheels. Only 250 were built for homologation into South African saloon car racing and therefore survivors are rare, especially in the UK.The XR8 for sale today is finished in white with a grey interior but the mileage shown on the odometer is not correct, the true figure believed by the vendor to be 'mid 30s'. This particular car has some technical modifications including the fitting of a 9" Cosworth limited slip differential and beam to cure the excessive wheelspin which was (not surprisingly for a 5.0 rear wheel drive car with 330 NM of torque) inherent in the design of the car. We are also told that this car has been fitted with nylon bushes in the modified suspension and uprated alloy wheels although the original alloys will be sold with car. Described by the vendor as 'good' with regard to engine, electrics, transmission, interior and wheels/tyres and with 'fine' bodywork and 'fairly good' paintwork we are told that the car will be MOT'd and taxed by the time of the sale. With its original right hand drive configuration this rare Sierra is ideal for use on UK roads as well as the possibility of competing in track days and club events.

1938 LAGONDA V12 SALOON DE VILLE PRESENT OWNER 18 YEARS & REBUILT ENGINE Estimate £24000 - 28000 Registration Number MGW 798 Chassis Number 16018 Engine Number 16018 (V12/38) Engine Capacity 4480 Paint Colour MAROON/BLACK Trim Colour BEIGE MOT Expiry Date JAN 2008 "Of the half-dozen patrician motor cars still remaining on the world market, none ever inherited such a rich patrimony of design as the 12-cylinder Lagonda. The new car is no mere recapitulation of a good - but tired - design in terms of 1937. It is a new-born car, unrelated to any yet on the road - here or on the Continent. New ideals of performance were set up and these have been exceeded in the sheer versatility of the new car. Such is the 12-cylinder Lagonda - a car destined to rank from now on, among the greater names in motoring history". (Lagonda Press Release, August 1937)Debuting in prototype guise at the October 1936 Olympia Motor Show (but not officially launched for another year), the Lagonda V12 was engineered by a crack team of ex-Rolls-Royce employees including W.O. Bentley, Stuart Tresillian and Charles Sewell. A 'clean sheet' design that aimed to marry limousine refinement to sportscar performance, it was based around a substantial cruciform-braced box-section chassis. Boasting sophisticated unequal-length wishbone independent front suspension actuated via unusually long torsion bars and special shackle pins that helped obviate side thrust on its semi-elliptic rear leaf-springs, the newcomer also incorporated a Marles steering box, Salisbury hypoid rear axle and twin master cylinder Lockheed hydraulic drum brakes. Singularly advanced, the model's aero-engine inspired 60-degree V12 featured overhead camshafts (one per bank), twin SU carburettors, a combined duplex-chain / gear-driven timing system and Lanchester-type vibration damper. Displacing 4480cc (bore 75mm x stroke 84.5 mm) the unit was quoted as developing 180hp @ 5,500rpm. Available in 10'4", 11'0" and 11'6" wheelbase lengths, the Lagonda flagship was among the fastest cars of its generation. Though, the provision of a centre-change four-speed manual gearbox (with synchromesh on the top three ratios) and conventional pedal layout made it surprisingly easy to drive.Beguiled by in-house stylist Frank Feeley's marvellous creations which seemed to capture the very spirit of the age, most customers opted for factory coachwork (though, outside commissions were still welcome). Not content with the publicity garnered by Earl Howe's record breaking Brooklands run aboard a Standard Short Saloon on October 10th 1938 which saw the titled racer lapping at up to 108.27mph and average 101.5 miles for the hour (despite an unscheduled pitstop), Lagonda proprietor A.P. Good commissioned W.O. Bentley to mastermind a V12 assault upon the 1939 Le Mans 24-hour race. Given less than six months in which to complete the project, Bentley was relentless in his pursuit of more horsepower, lower weight and better aerodynamics. Still retaining a 10'4" wheelbase, the resultant racer was theoretically capable of 140mph. Governed by a strict protocol that prized finishing above all else, the two V12s entered for the June 17th-18th race duly crossed the line in third and fourth place overall. Interestingly, their average speeds of 83.61mph and 83.35mph respectively would have been sufficient for outright victory in either the 1938 or 1949 events. Of the 200 or so Lagonda V12s produced between 1938 and 1940, a mere 100 are thought to have survived to the present day.According to information kindly supplied by the Hon. Registrar of The Lagonda Club, Arnold Davey, chassis number '16018' was first registered on March 11th 1938 to A.J.A. Wallace Barr Esq., the Managing Director of Cellon Ltd (the Kingston, Surrey based company which acted as Lagonda's paint suppliers between 1925 and 1940).

1961 AC GREYHOUND RESTORED 1998-2002, OVER £22K SPENT Estimate £17000 - 20000 Registration Number 199 APX Chassis Number BEF2523 Engine Number T.B.A. Engine Capacity 2500 Paint Colour GREEN Trim Colour GREEN MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. Introduced in 1959, the AC Greyhound boasted lines that were every bit as sleek as its namesake. Based around a stretched version of the same ladder-frame chassis that underpinned the Ace / Aceca, its sensuous aluminium coupe bodywork was supported by a multi-tubular steel superstructure. A true four-seater with decent luggage space, it further benefited from all-round independent coil-sprung suspension, a slick four-speed manual gearbox, disc / drum brakes and rack and pinion steering. Predominantly powered by the same Bristol OHV straight-six engine which had done so much to establish the AC name in competition circles, the model was credited with a 100mph plus top speed and brisk acceleration. Essentially hand built, the Greyhound was only in production for four years during which time just 83 are thought to have left the Thames Ditton factory.Apparently robbed of its original Bristol engine and gearbox during the 1970s (a fate that befell many Greyhounds), '199 APX' is further understood to have lain derelict for over ten years. The subject of an extensive, £22,000 plus, "chassis up" restoration since entering the current ownership in 1998, the AC is said to have benefited from the following new components: "suspension, wiring, wheels, dashboard and front / rear screens" as well as a thorough refurbishment of its bodywork and instruments. Powered by an overhauled, carburettor-fed Triumph 2.5 litre straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission, the coupe was repainted in Aston Martin Metallic Green and retrimmed with green leather upholstery before returning to the road in 2002. Forced to compete with a number of more demanding stablemates, we are informed that '199 APX' has scarcely turned a wheel during the intervening five years. As such, it is felt to "need using and final sorting". A strikingly handsome car, it ishoped that this sympathetically modified Greyhound will possess a fresh MOT certificate buy the time of sale.

1928 ROLLS-ROYCE 20 HP OPEN FOUR SEAT TOURER PRESENT OWNER 23 YEARS & NICE EXAMPLE Estimate £18000 - 22000 Registration Number SV 6837 Chassis Number GFN 47 Engine Number B2B Engine Capacity 3127 Paint Colour CREAM/BLACK Trim Colour BLUE MOT Expiry Date MAY 2007 Introduced in 1922, the Rolls-Royce 20HP was shorter, lighter and wieldlier than its 40/50HP Silver Ghost stablemate. Boasting an overhead-valve 3127cc six-cylinder engine that was less than half the size but almost two-thirds as powerful as the sidevalve unit which propelled its sibling, the model appealed to new and existing customers alike. Specifically designed to be cheaper and easier to maintain - though built to the same exacting standards which had made the marque world famous - the 20HP utilised all-round leaf-sprung suspension and a fully floating 'Hotchkiss Drive' back axle (complete with spiral bevel differential). Progressively updated with a four-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel brakes, the 'baby' Rolls remained in production until 1929 by which time some 2,940 are thought to have been made.Finished in cream over black with blue leather upholstery, this particular example is variously described by the vendor as being in "reasonable" (paintwork), "good" (electrical equipment, interior trim) or "very good" (engine, four-speed manual gearbox, chassis, bodywork, wheels / tyres) condition. Rebodied as an open four-seat tourer prior to entering the current ownership in 1984, chassis number 'GFN 47' is understood to have been "on the road for summer use every year since". Apparently found to have an excellent 'bottom end' while it was being rebored and fitted with new Hepworth pistons some 1,500 miles ago, the engine is said to "show normal Rolls-Royce oil pressure". Benefiting from a rear-mounted luggage trunk, flashing indicators and weather equipment, this appealing 20HP is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until May 4th 2007 and historic class (free) road tax valid until April 30th 2007. A measure of his confidence in 'GFN 47', the seller has informed us that he intends to drive it the 70odd miles to Cheltenham!

1960 JAGUAR XK150 FIXED HEAD COUPE OLDER RESTORATION FITTED WIRES & O/DRIVE Estimate £13000 - 15000 Registration Number 4757 DU Chassis Number S825220DN Engine Number V7507-8 Engine Capacity 3442 Paint Colour WHITE Trim Colour RED MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. Sensation of the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show, Jaguar's new XK sports car set a level of performance and roadability which no other manufacturer could come close to at the price. This ensured that with steady development the basic XK design was able to last in production for 13 years whilst still remaining class competitive. The final development of the XK line was the 1957 introduced XK150. In line with the changing tastes of customers, particularly in the all important US market, the XK150 was more luxurious and comfortable than its XK140 predecessor whilst still retaining its essential sports car performance and driving characteristics. Initially powered by the 3442cc 6-cylinder engine of its predecessor, this was joined in late 1959 by a 3781cc unit and 'S' models from 1958 with straight port heads produced 250 bhp. Available in Drophead Coupe and Fixed Head Coupe bodystyles on introduction, these were joined by a Roadster in October 1958 and the XK150 was produced until 1961 when Jaguar were to set the world alight again with the launch of the XK150's replacement - the E-Type.The 1960 right hand drive 3.4 litre Fixed Head Coupe offered for sale here today is finished in white with a red leather interior and has four speed with overdrive gearbox. Showing 70,500 miles, a figure the vendor believes but doesn't guarantee to be correct this car is described as 'an older restoration'. We are told by the vendor that the engine and chassis are 'very good', electrics, paintwork, bodywork, transmission and wheels/tyres 'good' and interior 'fair'. Described as 'very sound mechanically, starts and runs well with good oil pressure' this 'usable Jaguar XK' rides on wire wheels. We are also told that the car will have a current MOT at the time of sale.PLEASE NOTE: The photograph used is of a similar vehicle.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle comes with an MOT certificate until February 2008 and has a problem with the clutch.

1965 FORD MUSTANG 'SHELBY GT350' RACECAR LHD - FIA PAPERS & ELIGIBLE MOST EVENTS Estimate £28000 - 32000 Registration Number N/A Chassis Number SR09C203876 Engine Number T.B.A. Engine Capacity 4227 Paint Colour BLACK Trim Colour BLACK MOT Expiry Date N/A Introduced at the New York World's Fair on April 17th 1964, the Ford Mustang was primarily aimed at the post-WW2 'baby boomer' generation. Backed by an enormous publicity campaign that included television coverage beamed to over 30 million homes and some 2,500 newspaper advertisements, it proved an instant hit (the millionth car selling inside two years). The brainchild of senior Ford executive Lee Iacocca, the newcomer borrowed heavily from its Falcon and Fairlane compatriots. Based on a 'torque box' reinforced monocoque bodyshell, it was styled in-house by David Ash and Joseph Oros of the Lincoln-Mercury division. Initially available in either coupe or convertible guises (though, a fastback variant was soon added), the model was equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension, a 'live' rear axle and hydraulic drum brakes. Powered by a range of straight-six and V8 engines mated to a choice of manual (three- / four-speed) or automatic transmission, the Mustang could be had with a bewildering range of factory options to suit almost every taste / budget. The first car to receive the Tiffany Design Award, it also undertook pace duties at the 1964 Indianapolis 500. Responsible for creating the 'pony car' class (despite being named after the WW2 P-51 Mustang fighter plane), the sporty Ford has long been revered as an American cultural icon. As always the best of the road cars are soon converted into cars for the track and the Mustang went racing with the best of them - and beat them all. Carroll Shelby's long standing relationship with Ford ensured that he further developed the car with the introduction of the 'Shelby' Mustang which had distinctive differences to the body styling, it was lighter and had more power. One of the most significant marketing moves that actually worked was for Hertz - the rental car people. They ordered 200 Ford Mustangs in their distinctive Black with a Gold stripe livery in November 1965 and a further 800 cars just a month later as they had become the car to have for the weekend - and a lot of them were actually raced the whole weekend and taken back to the rental company on the monday morning. This car is not an original Shelby GT350 and never raced in period however it has been built as a racecar to a very exacting standard by the well known historic racer Jo Harding. It is a recreation of the Hertz cars and painted in their very distinctive colour scheme and sits on a new set of Dunlops with a new extinguisher and with a new set of belts. It raced many times in the States and the specification sheet including the dyno report is in the paperwork in the history file with the car. It is sensational to look at and we understand ready to go and has quite a number of spares with it including the original seats, a spare set of heads, steering wheel etc. It is eligible for a whole host of events and the paperwork includes an extremely rare set of the new HTP papers but it has not as yet been registered in the UK.

1936 RILEY KESTREL FOUR DOOR FASTBACK SALOON RARE SPECIAL SERIES 66K & REALLY LOVELY Estimate £10000 - 12000 Registration Number ANP 999 Chassis Number S66K1694 Engine Number 60344 Engine Capacity 1089 Paint Colour RED/BLACK Trim Colour RED MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. "We make far too many models of course. But then we have a pretty fertile design department, and we like making nice, interesting cars" (Riley Advertising, September 1936). Introduced in 1926, the Riley 9hp range heralded the beginning of a golden era for the Coventry firm that lasted until its acquisition by the Nuffield Organisation during 1938. While the efforts of Freddie Dixon and others helped to establish a formidable competition record, the road cars won acclaim for offering performance levels that belied their relatively small engine capacities. Launched in late 1932, the 9hp Kestrel was based around a low-slung ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. A compact, fastbacked four-door saloon, it was powered by the marque's jewel-like 1087cc 'twin-cam' four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Distinguished from its brethren by a lower roofline and twin horns, the Kestrel was bodied in aluminium over a timber frame. Boasting a surprisingly spacious interior trimmed with good quality hides, thick carpets and plenty of wood veneer, it remained in production until 1936. Registered on the 11th May 1936 to a Mrs. E.M. Whittaker, who strangely only kept it until the October that year, this rare and highly desirable Special Series 66k four door fastback saloon has had just six further known owners since. Following the short first ownership the second, a Mr. C.F. Dearing, made up for it by keeping the car until 1965 whereupon, after passing though three more owners, it arrived with Richard 'Dickie' Adams in 1996. He started a 4000 hour restoration which took 30 months and it's first outing was to a Riley meeting on New Years Day 1999. It covered about 3000 miles before a piston failed whereupon the engine was rebuilt by Riley expert Barrie Gillies with new high compression pistons, a block twin exhaust cam conversion for increased performance, the radiator was modified for the fitment of a temperature gauge and a stainless steel exhaust was fitted - all less than 250 miles ago. We are informed by the vendor that ANP 999 was restored to the highest standards, as befits an aircraft engineer, and as testament to this it received several awards at Riley and other events. The upholstery has been carefully preserved and the trim, opening glass and sunroof are all excellent. The inflatable airbag seat cushions were remanufactured, the chassis was galvanised and zinc sprayed, all the rust was removed, all the rotten woodwork was replaced and it was rewired. A delightful car that performs well with an extremely good ride, an excellent steering response but it will benefit from use and settling in, especially now that it has more power.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle now comes with MOT and Road Fund Licence until February 2008.

1969 FERRARI 365 GT 2+2 RHD, FIRST OWNED BY F1 RACER CHRIS IRWIN Estimate £30000 - 34000 Registration Number FBY145H Chassis Number 12085 Engine Number 12085 Engine Capacity 4390 Paint Colour RED Trim Colour TAN MOT Expiry Date NONE Unveiled at the October 1967 Paris Salon, the 365GT 2+2 was Ferrari's most luxurious model to date. Equipped with sumptuous Connolly leather upholstery, electric windows, air-conditioning, power steering and a handsome teak veneer dashboard as standard, it had a notably capacious boot. Built around a tubular steel chassis frame (designated Tipo 591), it shared the same wheelbase as its 330GT predecessor but benefited from the adoption of a wider track and - for the first time on a Maranello 2+2 - independent rear suspension. Consisting of double wishbones and concentric springs, this assembly was tempered by oleopneumatic struts that had been specially developed in conjunction with Koni. Intended to maintain equilibrium regardless of passenger or luggage load, they were praised by the contemporary motoring press for their contribution to the model's fine ride and handling. Powered by a 4,390cc Colombo derived V12 engine (designated Tipo 245) that developed some 320bhp and 268lft of torque, the 365GT 2+2 was fitted with a well-regarded five-speed manual gearbox. Reputedly capable of 152mph and 0-60mph in 7.3 seconds, such performance was reined in by all-round ventilated disc brakes. Styled by Pininfarina, its elegant lines borrowed heavily from both the carrozeria's 500 Superfast and 330GTC Speciale designs. Fitted with Borrani alloys as standard, wire wheels from the same source remained an expensive option. Of the 801 365GT 2+2s made up until early 1971, a mere 87 are thought to have been to right-hand drive specification.Finished in red with tan leather upholstery, this particular right-hand drive example is described by the vendor's agent as being in "good" (engine, five-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork) or "average / good" (wheels / tyres, paintwork) condition. Reportedly supplied new to ex-Brabham and BRM F1 Racing Driver Chris Irwin, 'FBY 145H' has been in the current ownership since 1993. Said to be "one of the special UK 'Maranello' 365s" as denoted by its "covered headlights and late model specification", the Ferrari rides on discreet Borrani alloys.

Thoroughly stripped, the sports saloon was treated to an uprated four-wheel disc brake system, modified suspension (front coils, dampers, anti-roll bars) and power-assisted rack and pinion steering as well as being converted to right-hand drive. Finished in Metallic Blue, external cosmetic enhancements saw it fitted with halogen headlights, front / rear foglamps, Coombs-style rear wheelarches and 6.5in chrome wire wheels shod with Avon radial tyres. Supping unleaded, its overhauled 3.8 litre DOHC straight-six engine boasts an oil cooler, auxiliary fan, electronic ignition, alternator charging system and stainless steel exhaust system. Allied to Getrag five-speed manual transmission, it provides suitably authoritative performance. In addition to S-Type seats trimmed in blue leather, the interior also benefits from a modern stereo, air-conditioning, satellite navigation, cup-holders, keyless central locking, illuminated glovebox / luggage compartment and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. Protected by an immobiliser and Tracker system, 'JAZ 2222' is thought to have completed just 5,193 miles since work was completed. A truly exceptional motor car, it is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until November 9th 2007 and historic class (free) road tax until December 31st 2007.

1935 ASTON MARTIN MKII 1.5 LITRE SHORT CHASSIS 2/4 SEATER ENGINE TOP END UPGRADED TO ULSTER SPEC Estimate £64000 - 68000 Registration Number BXR 432 Chassis Number A5/543/S Engine Number A5/543/S Engine Capacity 1495 Paint Colour BLACK Trim Colour BEIGE MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. "It's a combination of features which puts the 'Aston' where it is among the world's finer high performance cars. Just as a work of art stands or falls as a whole, so does this machinery appeal as a unit. Each feature which a really good high performance car must have is right and the merging of them is something special" (Autocar magazine, September 1935)Introduced in January 1934, the Aston Martin MKII was a more sophisticated design than its predecessors. Constructed using tapering channel-section side members, the newcomer's ladder frame chassis was further reinforced via an additional crossmember and enlarged aluminium bulkhead. Rotated through ninety-degrees its twin Hartford friction shock absorbers exerted greater control over the front axle, while the use of large-diameter cable-operated Alfin drums all round meant that braking remained a dynamic strongpoint. Boasting a stiffer, fully counterbalanced crankshaft, redesigned cylinder head, Silentbloc mounts and new chain tensioner, the familiar 1494cc SOHC four-cylinder engine was both smoother and more powerful than before. Developing some 73bhp @ 5,200rpm in standard tune, it was allied to four-speed manual transmission and endowed the model with a top speed of up to 85mph. Available in either short- (8ft 7in) or long-wheelbase (10ft 0in) guises and with a generous choice of open or closed coachwork, the MKII was visually distinguished by its thermostatically controlled radiator shutters. Only in production until December 1935, just 166 are thought to have left the Feltham Works (including twenty 'Ulster' specification cars).Finished in black with beige leather upholstery, this particular short chassis example is described by the vendor's agent as being in "good" condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres (though, he rates the interior trim as "average"). First registered in London (or so its number plate would imply), 'BXR 432' is thought to have undergone some restoration work during the 1960s. Apparently sold to its previous keeper - a motorcycle collector - by Judy Hogg in the late 1980s, the Aston was put into dry storage shortly thereafter. Awakened from fifteen years slumber by Ecurie Bertelli, it was treated to new king pins, bushes and brake linings as well as a thorough service, fluid change and radiator flush before entering the current ownership in October 2004. Although plans to run it at Classic Le Mans fell by the wayside, the past few years have nevertheless seen the 2/4-seater benefit from more fettling at the hands of Ecurie Bertelli including an engine 'top end' upgrade to Ulster specification (R209 camshaft, new valve springs, rockers, 1.5in carburettors), replacement clutch, overhauled gearbox (new bearings, seals) and a Kenlowe electric fan. Used for light rallying in France instead 'BXR 432' has proven reliable and is only going under the hammer due to the acquisition of a Series II 'Le Mans' car. Summed up as "a very original, unmolested MKII", we are informed that this highly desirable prewar Aston will possess new 6-volt batteries and a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle now comes with MOT until February 2008.

1942 FORD GPW JEEP LHD- PRESENT OWNER 30YRS NICELY RESTORED Estimate £11000 - 13000 Registration Number 206 UXO Chassis Number 45701 Engine Number MB239758 Engine Capacity 2200 Paint Colour GREEN Trim Colour GREEN MOT Expiry Date NONE Whilst it famously secured the contract to provide the US Military with a 'go-anywhere' ¼ ton truck, Willys was forced to share the manufacture of its winning design with Ford by a government determined to ensure adequate frontline supply. Having acquired two derelict WW2 Jeeps thirty years ago with the intention of combining them to make one good one, the vendor spared '206 UXO' this fate when initial restoration revealed it to contain a large number of genuine Ford parts (marked with the legendary 'F'). Mindful to preserve as many authentic features as possible - even down to the period Firestone spare tyre which still bears the legend 'US Military' - the refurbishment was completed during the 1980s. Sidelined by various other projects, the Ford saw little use thereafter. However, two years ago the Jeep was taken to one of the country's leading US Military specialists who paid attention to its paint, suspension springs, canvasses, wiring, major electrical components and valve gear as well as fitting new block-tread Firestone tyres. Though, it was not felt necessary to disassemble the engine, gearbox or axles as the previous renovation work was so thorough as to include a new crankshaft and pistons. Somewhat tongue-in-cheek, the owner adorned the bonnet side with a serial number related to his wife's maiden name, birthday and their wedding date '67290504B'. Unfortunately even with this sign of affection the vehicle has remained largely idle following its second rejuvenation and consequently is now being offered for sale. Said to look as if it "just left the Detroit factory", '206 UXO' would make an ideal companion for Goodwood or trips across the Channel".

1940 LAGONDA V12 DROPHEAD COUPE WORKS DEMONSTRATOR, LATER MADE INTO DHC Estimate £45000 - 50000 Registration Number JPG 654 Chassis Number 16063 Engine Number 16063 Engine Capacity 4480 Paint Colour MID BLUE Trim Colour LIGHT GREY MOT Expiry Date NONE If not W.O. Bentley's greatest achievement then certainly his final masterpiece, the Lagonda V12 was unveiled at the October 1936 Olympia Motor Show (but not officially launched for another year). Intended to marry limousine refinement to sportscar performance, it was based around a cruciform-braced chassis equipped with independent front suspension, a Salisbury hypoid back axle and Lockheed hydraulic drum brakes. Powered by an advanced overhead-camshaft 4480cc V12 engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the Lagonda flagship boasted 100mph plus performance. Available in 10'4", 11'0" and 11'6" wheelbase lengths, just 200 or so were made before production ceased during 1940.According to information kindly supplied by the Hon. Registrar of The Lagonda Club, Arnold Davey, chassis number '16063' was among a batch of approximately twenty cars that were still under construction when WW2 broke out. Put into storage at Flood St, Chelsea until summer 1940 (when the government sanctioned its completion), the 11'0" wheelbase car was clad with Lagonda's own saloon coachwork. Retained by the Works as a demonstrator, the V12 was road tested in the September 1941 issue of Motor Sport. Purchased by its first private owner, North Country comedian Frank Randall, during 1945, the car was to remain in his possession for a decade. Known to have passed through the hands of A.A. Russell and Tom Pinguey thereafter, '16063' was acquired by its previous keeper Dr F.W. Landgrebe of Clwyd Wen, Glamorgan in 1962. Reportedly treated to an extensive engine overhaul by Cotswold Engineering during 1992, the Lagonda was later stripped back to a bare chassis. Confronted with a rotten ash frame, the decision was taken to rebody the V12 in the style of a Vanden Plas drophead coupe (the famous coachbuilder's design was the only convertible one the seller could find for the 11'0" wheelbase chassis). Thought to retain its original factory coachwork from front bumper to A-posts and then from rear seat to tailpipes, the restoration / conversion work also saw '16063' repainted and re-trimmed. Upgraded with a "Jaguar four-speed overdrive gearbox" so as to allow more relaxed high-speed cruising (a straight forward modification given the original unit's separate location), the V12 has apparently had its instruments recalibrated to suit. Off the road since 2001 with starter motor problems (after seven rebuilds the offending component has now been replaced by a more modern alternative), '16063' is variously described by the vendor as being in "sound" (bodywork), "good" (gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, wheels / tyres) or "excellent" (4480cc engine, chassis) condition. Though, he concedes that the paint "needs work".PLEASE NOTE: The vendor has informed us that the original gearbox for this vehicle is available via separate negotiation.

1957 ELVA MK II SPIDER SPORTS RACING CAR GOODWOOD, MILLE MIGLIA & HGPCA ELIGIBLE Estimate £48000 - 55000 Registration Number N/A Chassis Number 100/40 Engine Number Engine Capacity 1100 Paint Colour ALLOY Trim Colour RED MOT Expiry Date N/A Conscious that his Goodwood results aboard a modified CSM racer had not gone unnoticed, local garagiste Frank Nichols decided to make the jump from competitor to constructor in 1955. Operating from premises in Bexhill-on-Sea (East Sussex), the resultant Elva Engineering Co was soon challenging the likes of Lotus, Cooper and (later) Lola. Known for the lightness and agility of its products, the nascent firm quickly developed a loyal American following. Introduced in early 1957, the Elva MKII Sports Racer was somewhat more sophisticated than its predecessors. Based around a tubular spaceframe chassis, the newcomer was equipped with independent double-wishbone front suspension, a De Dion back axle, coil-over springs and rack and pinion steering. Providing reassuring stopping power, its Alfin drum brakes were mounted outboard at the front but inboard at the rear (thus reducing unsprung weight). Although, customers could choose their own drivetrains many opted for a Coventry-Climax engine and the ubiquitous MG four-speed manual gearbox. Typically clothed in lightweight aluminium, the MKII rode on centre lock wire wheels. Finished in bare aluminium with red upholstery, this particular 'Bobtail' example is described by the vendor as being in "good" condition with regard to its 1100cc Coventry-Climax engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork and wheels / tyres. Supplied new to the USA, chassis number '100/40' is said to boast period "SCCA history". While, more recent outings have seen it competing with the VSCCA at Lime Rock, Watkins Glen, Poconos and Mt Tremblant etc. It was last serviced in August 2006 by KTR Motorsports in Boston and all the bills for the restoration and race preparation for this car ($54,822 has been spent from 2004 to the present day) as well as the VSCCA Log book, photos etc are included in the history file. Thought to be potentially eligible for such prestigious events as the Mille Miglia and Goodwood (not to mention the HGPCA's Pre-1959 Drum Brake Sports Car Series), this enchanting Elva is worthy of close inspection.

1957 JAGUAR XK150 SE FIXED HEAD COUPE CONVERTED FROM LHD & EXTENSIVELY REBUILT Estimate £25000 - 30000 Registration Number ASL 414 Chassis Number S834857DN Engine Number V2207-8 Engine Capacity 3442 Paint Colour WHITE Trim Colour BLACK MOT Expiry Date DEC 2007 The final iteration of the XK sportscar line and the last Jaguar to carry a separate chassis, the XK150 was introduced in May 1957. While its use of independent torsion bar front suspension, a 'live' leaf sprung rear axle and rack and pinion steering mirrored the practice of its XK140 predecessor the new model benefited from all round Dunlop disc brakes. Stylistically, it was brought up to date with less ostentatious curves and a larger, wrap-around single piece windscreen. The dashboard too was altered eschewing wood trim for padded leather. With the E-type still very much under development, Jaguar was keen to sustain the sporting reputation that five remarkable Le Mans victories had earned it (1951, 1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957). To this end, the XK150 could be had in both 3442cc and 3781cc guises and to normal, 'SE' or ultimate 'S' specification. With power outputs ranging from 190bhp for the base 3.4 up to 265bhp for the highly-tuned 3.8S performance was always an XK150 strong point. Equipped with four-speedmanual gearboxes as standard, even the 'slowest' versions were reputed to be good for circa 130mph.Finished in white with black leather upholstery, this particular example is variously described by the vendor as being in "very good" (four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox), "excellent" (3442cc engine, electrical equipment, wheels / tyres), "as new" (interior trim) or "perfect" (bodywork, paintwork) condition. Apparently supplied new by Jaguar Cars of New York, 'ASL 414' is said to have undergone an extensive rebuild at the hands of BAS Ltd, Carmichael Sports Cars and J.D. Classics etc (though, the latter firm were only responsible for converting it from left- to right-hand drive). A desirable 'Special Equipment' model as denoted by the 'S' prefix to its chassis number, this highly presentable XK150 is offered for sale with restoration bills / photos, MOT certificate valid until December 8th 2007 and historic class (free) road tax valid until December 2007

Styled loosely in the manner of a 1929-35 period Alfa Romeo Sports, but not it must be emphasised an exact replica, the Dunsmore was a handbuilt special of which between 14 and 16 are thought to have been made. The Dunsmore is however unusual in that no 2 cars are thought to have been exactly the same.This particular car was built for an Isle of Man resident in 1989 who unfortunately died soon afterwards. Its second owner lived on the south coast and he kept the car until 2004 when ill heath forced the sale of car to the vendor, who himself is only selling the car as he is moving overseas. Powered by a 3000cc 6-cylinder Vauxhall engine with 4 speed manual gearbox, we are told that this example has covered only just over 4,500 from new, a figure that the vendor guarantees to be correct. Finished in bright red with what is described as a 'leather look' interior in burgundy this right hand drive car sits on wire wheels. Described variously by the vendor as 'good' (engine, transmission, paintwork), 'very good' (electrics), 'excellent' (bodywork) and 'superb' (interior, chassis) we are told that the car received a set of new 18" wheels and tyres in 2005 in order to complete the correct period look. Having lived all its life in a warm garage we are told, the car will be presented to the sale with a renewed MOT certificate.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle now comes with an MOT certificate until February 2008.

1930 ALVIS SILVER EAGLE SPECIAL 'THE GREEN CAR' WINNER 1938 'IMRC GP' WITH MICHAEL MAY Estimate £60000 - 70000 Registration Number GC 5151 Chassis Number 8731 Engine Number 8307 Engine Capacity 2511 Paint Colour GREEN Trim Colour BROWN MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. There can be few cars - regardless of marque - which are known by the colour of their paintwork but one such is 'The Green Car'.Arguably the most successful competition Alvis ever, 'The Green Car' was supplied new via Henlys of London to Philip Fotheringham-Parker on March 17th 1930. Although, originally intended to be a Cross & Ellis bodied Silver Eagle SA 16.95 (2148cc) Four-Seater Sports Tourer, an accompanying copy Works Guarantee Card reveals that the sportscar was fitted with a 15.72hp (1991cc) engine prior to despatch (a change which allowed it to compete in the 2-litre rather than 3-litre class at events). The first of just six Silver Eagles to carry the 1991cc unit in period, its specification thus mimicked that of the three Alvis cars which contested the 1930 Brooklands Double Twelve Race.An amateur racing driver of some note who would go onto pilot an ERA and Maserati 4CL, Fotheringham-Parker campaigned 'The Green Car' at Brooklands during both 1931 and 1932 collecting one 1st, one 2nd and two 3rd places for his troubles. Lucky to escape an incident during one of the 1932 Mountain Circuit Races when a seized differential sent 'The Green Car' flying over the Brooklands banking, he sold the noticeably bent but surprisingly intact Alvis to Dr Bobby Beaver shortly thereafter.Claiming to have taken no longer to reach the French Riviera aboard his suitably repaired charge than the Blue Train, Dr Beaver ran the Silver Eagle at La Turbie hillclimb before returning to England. Purchased from the good doctor by its most famous custodian, Michael W.B. May, on Whitsun 1933, 'The Green Car' spent the next six years being relentlessly honed. Having had the original 'flight damaged' chassis replaced by the Alvis Service Depot in Chelsea's Jubilee Place, May set about extensively modifying / improving the car's bodywork, brakes, steering and handling.Although, the 2-litre unit had proven sufficient to win gold in a MCC High Speed Trial and scale Shelsey Walsh in 49.09 seconds, May sought more power. To this end, he turned to his friend and fellow Alvis racer Antony Powys-Lybbe (the two were paired for the 1934 and 1935 Ards International TT) who supplied him with sufficient parts to construct a larger 19.82hp (2,511cc) straight-six. Converted to dry-sump lubrication and tuned by the Brooklands-based race preparation specialist Robin Jackson, this latter unit developed some 120bhp and oodles of torque.Far more than just a Circuit Queen, 'The Green Car' participated in a wide variety of Speed Trials, Hillclimbs and Reliability Trials. Though, its performances at the likes of Donington and Brooklands were impressive, May claiming two 1st, four 2nd and two 3rd places as a result of his numerous trips to Weybridge. Credited with lapping the Outer Circuit at a highly impressive 113.97mph during a handicap race on September 24th 1938, the Silver Eagle was also present at the last ever Brooklands meeting (where it competed as number '10' in race nine).However, its finest achievement was undoubtedly winning the IMRC's 75-mile 'Grand Prix' handicap race at Phoenix Park on September 16th 1938. By posting an average speed of 88.03mph (an increase of 10mph over the previous year's victor), 'The Green Car' not only left its MG, Frazer-Nash and LERA rivals trailing but also secured the coveted Wakefield Trophy. Interestingly, Henry Birkin had only been able to average 84.09mph around Phoenix Park when he won the Eireann Cup aboard an Alfa-Romeo 8C 2300 in 1931.Revelling in its abilities as a fast road car, Michael May kept the Alvis long after he had hung up his racing goggles.

1926 ALVIS 12/50 TE WIDE 2/3 SEATER BEAUTIFULLY ORIGINAL & HIGHLY DESIRABLE Estimate £15000 - 18000 Registration Number TW 3090 Chassis Number 4363 Engine Number 4717 Engine Capacity 1645 Paint Colour GREEN/BLACK Trim Colour MAROON MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. Introduced in August 1923, the 12/50 was responsible for placing Alvis firmly on the motor manufacturers' map. Relentlessly honed by chief engineer Capt. G.T. Smith Clarke, it went on to become one of the quintessential Vintage sports cars offering quite exceptional roadholding and performance for its class. Briefly discontinued in 1929 when Alvis placed all its eggs in the front-wheel drive basket (FWD FA - 8/15 models), it was hurriedly reintroduced during September 1930 and is widely credited with saving the marque. Built around a super-strong 9ft 4.5in wheelbase platform chassis frame, the 12/50 TE featured all round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, cable-operated drum brakes and high-geared steering box. Powered by a torquey, free-revving 1645cc OHV four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed (right-hand change) crash gearbox most variants were capable of some 75 - 80 mph. Rugged, versatile and brimful of character, the 12/50 enjoys a special place in many enthusiasts’ hearts. Finished in green over black with maroon leather upholstery, this particular example wears 2/3-seater touring coachwork by Cross & Ellis (its wide, three-place front bench being augmented by two extra pews in the dickey). Exhibiting a pleasing patina, 'TW 3090' is thought to have been maintained and repaired as necessary rather than ever having undergone extensive restoration. Entering the current Alvis aficionado ownership in 1994, the 12/50 has since been treated to two 'top-end' engine rebuilds (though, we are informed that the unit's 'bottom-end' would likely benefit from some attention in the next year or so), a replacement 3rd/4th gear selector fork (a known weak point) and the 2002 refurbishment of all four wings. Of Alvis manufacture and therefore not subject to the same fatigue cracks suffered by the Marles equivalent fitted to later cars, its steering box has also been recently overhauled. In the past few years, this sturdy and reliable car has competed in many VSCC rallies, driving tests and Inter-Register events. The most outstanding achievement has been to enter, and finish, Le Jog (the Lands End to John O'Groats Reliability Trial) no less than four times including three outings as part of the Marque winning Team - the Alvis Hares in 1995, 1996 and 1997.PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle now comes with MOT until February 2008.

1926 HUMBER 12/25 TOURER RARE VINTAGE HUMBER IN GOOD CONDITION Estimate £11000 - 14000 Registration Number KM 4516 Chassis Number 11972 Engine Number 11972 Engine Capacity 1795 Paint Colour MAROON/BLACK Trim Colour BROWN MOT Expiry Date OCT 2007 Introduced for the 1925 season, the 12/25 was a well-engineered, solidly built design that furthered Humber's reputation as a quality marque. Based around a conventional ladder-frame chassis with a 9ft1in wheelbase and 4ft7in track, it featured all round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and drum brakes. Rated at 12HP by the treasury, its 1795cc, four-cylinder engine utilised overhead inlet and side exhaust valves. Producing some 25hp @ 3,000 rpm, this torquey unit reputedly gave the model a top speed of 54mph. A reflection of its greater merit and finesse, the Humber cost up to fifty per cent more than the equivalent Austin or Morris. Only in production for two years surviving 12/25s are comparatively few and far between.Finished in maroon over black with brown leather upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in "good" condition with regard to its 1800cc engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres (while he rates the interior trim as "very good"). Said to have benefited from "a repaint, rewiring, re-plated nickel fittings and a replacement clutch over the last eight years", 'KM 4516' is further understood to have had "just five owners since 1926". Treated to new brown leather upholstery last year, the Tourer also boasts a new hood cover and duo-bulb indicators. Apparently known to The Humber Register, this appealing Vintage Tourer is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until October 2007 and historic class (free) road tax valid until June 2007. A measure of his confidence in 'KM 4516', the seller has informed us that he intends to drive it the 45 miles to Cheltenham.

However, it was in many respects not a direct replacement for the E-type being much more of a sportily styled long distance inter-continental tourer than a beefy sportscar and as such was much more in tune with the times. Powered by the famous silken 5343cc V12 engine and fitted in the main with standard automatic transmission (a manual was available until 1979 but few were sold), the typically Jaguar combination of precise, grippy handling and superlative ride comfort made this car more than a match for its German contemporaries, the Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC and BMW 6-Series. Sales however soon slowed to a mere trickle as fuel economy became of paramount importance in buyers minds during the late 1970s/early 1980s. Thankfully instead of stopping production altogether (this was considered as the production lines were halted in 1980 to clear existing stocks) Jaguar installed the new HE (HighEfficiency) version of the V12 engine into the XJS in 1981. Raising the average fuel consumption from 15mpg to around 20mpg, sales of the XJS took off overnight. Further development included the introduction of the Cabriolet model in October 1983 together with a brand new 3.6 litre engine, and then the launch of a full Convertible bodystyle in April 1988. With a full convertible roof the XJS's somewhat unusual styling finally acquired the elegance and presence expected of a Jaguar and with the standard 5.3 litre engine backed this up with true sports car performance. Subtly facelifted in 1991, production continued until 1995 and today the XJS is beginning to acquire true classic status as good original cars become increasingly rare.A desirable 5.3 Litre Convertible model, the 1992 XJS offered here is finished in red with a barley coloured leather interior and the recorded mileage of 60,400 is believed but not guaranteed by the vendor to be correct. There is a partial part-Jaguar service history starting at 27,000 miles in 1996 and following some detective work by the vendor a replacement service book has been obtained. Described by the vendor as 'excellent' in all respects save for interior rim and wheels/tyres ('good') this XJS will be sold with an MOT current until February 2008.

Available in S & SE models (the SE featuring fuel injection), the range was quickly expanded in 1961 with the launch of 190 and 300 models to top and tail the range. As always with Mercedes coupe and convertible versions of the saloon followed, the very elegant Coupe was launched in 1961 with a Convertible hitting the UK market in July 1962. Available with a manual or automatic gearbox and fitted with the fuel-injected engines as standard, the Coupe/Convertible were unlike the saloons always fitted with front disc brakes as standard. Always very expensive and imported in limited quantities the 220 SE Coupe/Convertible remained a rare sight on UK roads, only featuring in the Mercedes price lists until October 1965 when they were replaced by the visually identical but larger engined and more powerful 250 SE versions.Always the rarer of the 2 bodystyles, the 220 SE Convertible offered for sale here today is a 1964 car with automatic gearbox in white with a blue leather interior and blue hood. Showing a recorded mileage of 82,000 which the vendor believes but does not guarantee to be correct, we are told that this was one of a number of cars purchased by Mercedes-Benz UK to be used in showroom displays of historic Mercedes around the country. Purchased by the vendor from the Birmingham showroom who had unfortunately lost all the paperwork when moving premises, he was told that the car had been fitted with a new hood and lining at a cost of £3,500 and new carpets.

1929 ALFA ROMEO 1750 SUPER SPORT EX-BORIS IVANOWSKI 1929 IRISH GP WINNER Estimate £400000 - 450000 Registration Number UU 79 Chassis Number 0312909 Engine Number 0312909 Engine Capacity 1752 Paint Colour RED Trim Colour BLACK MOT Expiry Date T.B.A. When Vittorio Jano defected from FIAT to Alfa Romeo at the end of the 1923 season he effectively caused the contemporary Grand Prix formbook to be rewritten. Among the most gifted automobile engineers of the twentieth century, his first Alfa Romeo model - the legendary P2 - comfortably outclassed its Bugatti, Delage and Sunbeam opposition. Winner of both the European and Italian GPs in 1924 (a feat it repeated the following year en route to securing the inaugural AIACR World Championship for Manufacturers), the supercharged two-seater was still collecting silverware some six years later - as witnessed by Achille Varzi's sensational 1930 Targa Florio victory. However, there was far more to Jano's genius than just competition cars.Introduced at the April 1925 Milan Motor Show but not released to the public for another two years, the Alfa Romeo 'NR' (later rechristened the '6C-1500') boasted an enviable specification. Derived from that of the P2, its channel-section pressed-steel ladder-frame chassis was equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. Notably smooth, flexible and free-revving, the model's 'clean sheet' 1487cc straight-six engine made artful use of aluminium-alloy (crankcase, sump) and cast-iron (cylinder block / head). Initially available in single overhead-camshaft guise only, this 'base' unit was soon augmented by an assortment of normally aspirated and supercharged 'twin-cam' variants as Jano sought to ensure class-leading performance.Hand-built to exacting standards and often clad with bespoke coachwork, the 6C-1500 was predictably expensive. Keen to boost sales, Alfa Romeo embarked on an active competition campaign. While 1927 witnessed a number of domestic successes, it was not until the supercharged cars came on stream that the 6C-1500 really started to establish an international reputation. As well as being driven to victory on the Mille Miglia by Giuseppe Campari and Giulio Ramponi, 1928 also saw force-fed 6C-1500s scoring wins in the hands of such luminaries as Enzo Ferrari (Circuito di Alessandria, Circuito di Modena) and Constantino Magistri (Giro di Sicilia). Yet by the season's end, the Alfa driver on form was undoubtedly Boris Ivanowsky. Not content with winning the Spa 24-hours, the former Russian Imperial Guardsman also dominated that year's Coupe Georges Boillot and Circuit des Routes Pavées.Debuting at the February 1929 Rome Motor Show, the 6C-1750 was intended to keep Alfa Romeo one step ahead of the competition. Nigh-on identical to its 6C-1500 sibling (save for an engine capacity increase to 1752cc), the newcomer offered a similar choice of wheelbase lengths and single overhead-camshaft or 'twin-cam' powerplants. Though, from a racing standpoint the 'SS' (or 'Super Sport') remained the most desirable derivative combining as it did the lightest chassis with the most powerful engine. A point reinforced in April 1929 when Campari and Ramponi piloted one to their second successive Mille Miglia victory (indeed blown 6C-1750s took seven out of the top ten places that year).As head of Alfa Romeo (British Sales) Ltd, F.W. Stiles was understandably eager to raise the marque's UK profile. In addition to running his own team of factory-backed 6C-1500 SS racers during the 1929 season, he offered support services to the 'privateer' 6C-1750 SS racers of Leonard Headlam and Dr. J. Dudley Benjafield. Naturally, Stiles extended the same courtesy to the Hon. Anthony Brunner when the latter purchased chassis number 0312909 in June that year (though, intriguingly there is no record that Alfa Romeo (British Sales) Ltd supplied the car).

1975 GILERA ARCORE ONE OWNER FROM NEW & CONCOURS WINNER Estimate £500 - 800 Registration Number JWY306N Frame Number 6438 Engine Number 6544 Engine Capacity 149 Paint Colour RED MOT Expiry Date RFL Expiry Date Introduced in 1972, the new overhead valve Arcore models were offered in both 125 and 150cc forms. Although derived from the earlier four stroke singles that had sustained the company through the sixties, the new machines benefited from improvements to both the mechanics and styling.
