The 2007 Subaru Impreza GB270 was a runout special edition of quite some repute. Celebrating a generation of Impreza that fully embraced the World Rally Championship – particularly Rally GB – it was based on the stock 2.5-litre WRX and boasted a Prodrive Performance Pack that took power up to 270PS. Hence the name. Contemporary reviews thought it was absolutely exceptional, a bona fide modern classic that saw the four-door Impreza sent off in style. More recently, Subaru has returned to its roots as a rugged manufacturer of 4x4 cars ideal for farmers and countryside dwellers, making the Subaru Impreza GB270 a real mark in the sand. Buy one today and it is almost certain to be an appreciating classic in the future. In summary: · Collectable Impreza GB270 with just 52,000 miles on the clock · Recent full service totalling £1,100 · Fine example of a desirable modern classic Subaru

Registration - 600 CUHChassis No. - CT20219M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 66,737This much-cherished 1963 Triumph TR4 is described by the vendor as, quite simply, ‘excellent’ throughout. They have owned it since May 2020 and purchased it with the intention of a full body-off restoration. This took place during 2020, and ‘600 CUH’ was treated to a registered repaint in 2021 (where the colour was changed from the original red to Midnight Blue). The overhaul also included a rebuilt engine, gearbox and overdrive, “enhancing the performance and reliability of the vehicle”. With invoices for every component and process of the restoration, the history file is extremely comprehensive. The vendor says “everything looks practically new” and the interior trim “is all new and looks spectacular”. They observe the hard-top is in very good order, but do say the included soft top is rather tired. “We’ve not been informed of any technical faults,” they add, and confirm the car has been stored in an insulated workshop. This exemplary 1963 Triumph TR4 is arguably now a concours contender. The Triumph TR4 was produced between 1961 and 1965, succeeding the Triumph TR3A. While the chassis and drivetrain were closely related to its predecessor, the TR4 featured a gorgeous new body designed by Michelotti, which really brought the famous Triumph sports car line straight into the swinging sixties. A distinctive feature was the bulge on the bonnet, designed to clear the twin carburettors. The 2.2-litre engine was enlarged over the TR3A, producing an exciting 100bhp. The Triumph TR4 was a particularly popular export car, with many heading to the sunshine states of the US. In summary:· A very attractive and much-cherished example· ‘Excellent’ condition throughout· Fully restored in 2020-21 and now arguably a concours contender
Registration - S228 FYGChassis No. - WP0ZZZ98ZWU600079M.O.T. - December 2024Odometer - 114,000Resplendent in Arena red, this early example of Porsche’s first-generation Boxster is offered with a highly desirable body-coloured removable hard-top and rear-wing. The deep red paintwork looks superb over the Savannah Beige leather-trimmed interior and grey alloy wheels. Coming with a high factory specification, ‘S228 FYG’ is also fitted with features such as heated seats and, also highly sought-after, a five-speed manual gearbox.This is fitted to Porsche’s 2.5-litre six-cylinder petrol engine, which has completed a little over 114,000 miles according to the odometer. The current owner considers the powertrain – both engine and transmission – to be in ‘good’ condition, as are the electrics, bodywork, and cabin. Only the paintwork is described otherwise, rated as ‘average’ for a vehicle approaching 26 years old. Considerable care has clearly been paid to ‘S228 FYG’ during its lifetime, since there is a service history with more than 20 stamps in the book, and a large folder containing invoices of work carried out. As examples of Porsche’s renowned driver’s car go, this Boxster is in good condition, with the all-important manual transmission for greater driver involvement, and the benefit of improved security and comfort during colder months of the removable hard-top.Porsche’s introduction of the Grant Larson-designed mid-engined two-seater Boxster cabriolet was the result of several years of striving to reverse the company’s fortunes following poor sales of the 928. The concept was presented at the North American International Auto Show in January 1993, and very well received by press and public. Production started in 1996 and, with its coupé ‘sister’, the Cayman, the Boxster would achieve the desired commercial result for Porsche, with both vehicles appealing to drivers who wanted to combine luxury motoring with excellent stability and dynamic performance.In summary:· A fine example of Porsche’s popular and successful first-generation Boxster sportscar.· Offered with removable body-coloured hard-top.· Comes with the highly desirable five-speed manual gearbox.
Registration - MF 6400Chassis No. - 21087M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 55,055This charming Swift Q-Type is a true survivor that impressively still comes with its distinctive original 100-year-old registration. It is a 10HP ‘Chummy’ model, with the four-seat interior layout. Almost unbelievably, it comes with the original instruction manual from back in 1924, and what the vendor describes as a “huge” history file dating back decades. The Chummy body is finished in maroon with a black interior, and the four-cylinder engine has a capacity of 1097cc with a three-speed gearbox. It is described as being in ‘good’ condition throughout, including the engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork, paintwork and interior. Coventry-based Swift originally made sewing machines and bicycles, and began building cars in 1900. The range developed from a single-cylinder model using a de Dion engine, building on this success with a model using a Swift-developed two-cylinder engine. A range-topping 3.0-litre was introduced by 1913. This Swift 10 was originally launched in 1914 and developed across several iterations, with this Q-Type version introduced in 1923. It boasted an impressive 55mph top speed and had convenience features such as electric starting. In summary:· Distinctive Swift Q-Type in maroon· Described as being in 'good' condition throughout· Comes with its original registration number and “huge” history file
Registration - CNE 126MChassis No. - LD/32875-0M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 48,511This classic 1974 Triumph Stag is stylishly finished in eye-catching Rembrandt Silver, a distinctive colour that is complemented by a black interior. It has undergone a full restoration, which consisted of full shot-blasting and respray from bare metal. The vendor describes both bodywork and paintwork now being in ‘excellent’ condition, as are the interior, engine and transmission. The wood facia shows some gentle patination, as one would expect in a car which is celebrating it's half-century this year. 'CNE 126M' is an original UK car with the desirable four-speed overdrive gearbox, and comes with a “vast history” file with invoices totalling a considerable sum. It has been in its current ownership for around two decades, and is being sold with Reserve. The Triumph Stag was created as a range-topping luxury sports car to rival the Mercedes-Benz SL. Styled by Triumph’s Italian go-to designer, Giovanni Michelotti, it was a 2+2 targa-style convertible, with a central roll-bar envisaged to meet American safety standards. The Triumph Stag was powered by an all-new 3.0-litre V8 created by the Coventry firm. This suffered from overheating issues at the time, but specialists have long since resolved any issues. Around 26,000 were built between 1970 and 1977, and many thousands survive today, thanks to the excellent support from enthusiastic owners and specialists. In summary:· Fully restored example in current ownership for around 20 years· Desirable manual overdrive version· Sold with No Reserve

206. 1947 IOTA RACING CAR ‘STROMBOLI’ Registration - Not registered Engine No - EL 542 600cc Douglas DT engine. DT frame holding the engine is No - TF195 [DK] In the late forties, the founding members of CAPA (a Bristol based motor racing club) decided that a low-cost chassis should be made available to amateur racers. It was Dick Ceasar who designed the rolling chassis and initially the syndicate produced a dozen, calling the design Iota after the club magazine. Adrian Butler and Bruce Mardon were the first to build one of these cars and used a Douglas DT 494cc race engine. The car wasn’t given any body work and was raced as it is seen today. Each builder of these cars gave the car a name and Bruce Mardon and Adrian Butler called theirs ‘STROMBOLI’. Early models were produced as a self-build kit until 1949 when after a redesign, complete cars called the P1 were built and sold at Iota Racing Cars, Alma Road, Bristol. This example comes with various photocopies of material relating to the car and the 500 club, also a copied photo of the very first get together of the now famous 500 club. The picture shows the first five racing cars: The Aikens, Cooper, Strong, the Iota Stromboli and F.H.B. at an unknown airfield in May 1947. The ‘STROMBOLI’ has not been used or run for many years and it is not known, at what stage of its development the 600cc engine was fitted. Guide price - £8,000 to £10,000 This lot is sold ‘as is’, Bidders are to satisfy themselves with regard to its provenance, age, originality and completeness ahead of bidding.

His bikes covered all disciplines, from Grass Track to bikes winning Golds Star Awards at Brooklands and not forgetting his two super fast Road Racing engines running on various types of high-octane fuels. This is the totally original, battle-scarred Hartley Ariel as raced with amazing success by Peter Ferbrache in the early 1950s.
