1979 Ford Mercury Cougar XR7 Transmission: automaticMileage:68517The Mercury Cougar XR7 was an iconic American muscle car, produced by Ford's Mercury division from 1967 to 1997, it's best known for its stylish design and powerful performance. The XR7 variant, introduced in 1967, represented the more upscale and luxurious version of the Cougar line-up. The XR7 was instantly recognizable by its distinctive hidden headlamps, a hallmark of its design. Under the bonnet, it offered a range of potent V8 engines, delivering impressive horsepower and torque. With features like leather upholstery and air conditioning as an option, the XR7 provided a comfortable and premium driving experience. Throughout its production run, the Mercury Cougar XR7 went through various design changes and updates, adapting to the evolving automotive landscape. It remains a beloved classic today, celebrated for its combination of style, power, and luxury, encapsulating the spirit of American muscle cars from the late 20th century.This Mercury was dispatched from the factory on 1st June 1979 and was owned by just two keepers in the US prior to its importation to the UK in 2019. The vendor who has owned the car since 2019 is a knowledgeable car enthusiast and has kept this Cougar as original as possible, choosing only to fit a stainless steel exhaust system, deemed to be a wise investment. Other items that have been changed recently is the fitment of a new fuel pump, fuel lines, spark plugs, HT leads, starter solenoid and a headlamp switch. Presenting very well with good grey coachwork and grey interior. We are advised the 5.0 litre V8 engine runs well and the car drives with no known faults. Supplied with a V5C registration document, together with a history folder, we are advised this Mercury Cougar XR7 will be presented for an MoT test prior to auction.

1975 Maserati Merak SS Transmission: automaticMileage:2203The Maserati Merak was introduced in 1972, essentially a lighter version of the Maserati Bora. It substituted an all-new Maserati designed quad-cam, three litre, V6 motor for the Bora's larger V8; resulting not only in a lower cost but with room for a small back seat and better handling due to lower weight and a better front/rear weight distribution. Aesthetically, the Merak differed from the otherwise very similar Bora; mainly in sporting open flying buttresses instead of the Bora's fully glassed rear, the mid-engine Merak used the Bora bodyshell but the extra space offered by the smaller engine was used to carve out a second row of seats suitable for children. As with the Bora, certain Citroën hydraulic systems were used such as the brakes, clutch, and headlight pods.This rare and fabulous left hand drive Maserati Merak SS, is very special indeed. Finished in highly desirable Argento Silver metallic and complemented by its still supple Nero Connolly leather, this 1975 Merak SS has had just two recorded owners and covered a mere 2,203 miles from new. Powered by the extremely sweet sounding and recently recommissioned 3.0 litre V6 pushing out 190bhp with four-overhead cams and triple Weber downdraft carburettors, this Merak is an extremely exciting car to drive. The five-speed manual gearbox shifts crisply and confidently, all while surrounding you with the exquisite leather interior appointments. It comes with factory fitted air conditioning, which is running as cold as it should, Campagnolo light alloy wheels and Jaeger gauges . Also accompanying the car is its original set of keys, handbook and a Certificate of Authenticity confirming that it is indeed a matching numbers car. There is paperwork in the history file confirming its mileage as it was sold by its first owner in 2014 in the US, with 1,812 miles showing on the odometer. The Merak was conceived as a complement to the larger Bora but gives up nothing in style and sophistication; it is also exceedingly rare with only 647 examples of this model produced. It is a wonderful car by any stretch of the imagination and finding one with only two former keepers and with so few miles is truly incredible. This is one of the earliest examples of an SS being built by Maserati in January 1975 prior to the official release of the SS at the Geneva Motorshow in March 1975 making it very rare indeed and even now it still has the original Campagnolo stickers on the wheels along with the original unused spare wheel and Michelin tyre from 1975! Do not miss this opportunity to acquire what is possibly the most original, lowest mileage Merak in existence. 

1943 Willys Jeep Model MB 4x4 Military Vehicle Transmission: manualMileage:6446Although forever associated with Willys-Overland, the original Jeep military vehicle was developed by American Bantam, formerly American Austin. Designed to meet the US Army's requirement for a rugged, go-anywhere, four-wheel-drive vehicle capable of surviving on the barest minimum of unskilled maintenance, Bantam's prototype was up and running by 1940, meeting the Army's requirements apart from the engine, which was deemed insufficiently powerful. The Pentagon though, doubted Bantam's ability to meet the military's post-Pearl Harbour demands so the major contracts went to Willys - the only other firm that had submitted a tender - and the Ford Motor Company, which would be responsible for the Jeep's trademark slotted radiator grille. Willys made various modifications to take advantage of a revised maximum weight requirement, which meant it was able to use its relatively heavy but adequately powerful 'Go Devil' engine. It was in this revised form that the Jeep would enter volume production. Willys-Overland's final production version was the Model MB, Ford's being designated the Model GPW. After extensive field testing, the Jeep's off-road capability was first publicly demonstrated early in 1941 when one was driven up the steps of the United States Capitol by Willys's test driver, Irving 'Red' Haussman. Produced by the million, the ubiquitous Jeep saw service in every theatre of the Second World War and continued in military service with armies world-wide for several decades thereafter. Today the Jeep remains highly sought after by discerning military vehicle enthusiasts.This exceptional 1943 example has been owned by the same couple since its import to the UK in 1994. Lovingly restored by a retired aircraft engineer for the 50th D-Day anniversary commemorations in France, the Jeep was restored from the ground up and reportedly ran without fault throughout the event. He later decided to restore it once again in 2017, again to take part in the D-Day anniversary commemorations and again, it ran without fault. Presented today better than new, it is by far the best example we have ever seen. This wonderful MB Jeep comes with all of its accessories including its hood, side doors, hip doors, jerry can, axe and spade as well as photos of both restorations and it attending wartime events. Wanting for nothing, this excellent example is only for sale due to the sad passing of the vendor's husband who carried out the remarkable restorations, as it is no longer getting any use.Supplied with a V5C registration document together with photos of the restorations and events. Ideal for any military event, Goodwood Revival or simply popping to the pub, the quality of the restoration on this wonderful Jeep speaks for itself and is sure to attract attention wherever it goes.

1956 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I Transmission: automaticMileage:75364The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud was the core model of the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars range from April 1955 until March 1966. It replaced the Silver Dawn and was, in turn, replaced by the Silver Shadow. The J.P. Blatchley design was a major change from the pre-war models and the highly derivative Silver Dawn. As part of a range rationalisation, the Bentley S1 is also very similar apart from, of course, its radiator grille. The chassis was a simple steel box section, welded together and very rigid. Construction retained the traditional split between chassis and body which facilitated the provision of special bodied versions, although in practice the overwhelming majority of cars were delivered with the standard steel body shell, produced by Pressed Steel, and employing lightweight aluminium-based alloy for the doors, bonnet, and boot lid. The engine was a 155hp six-cylinder unit with inlet over exhaust valves; twin SU carburettors were added in September 1957 and standard was a four-speed, automatic transmission. First registered on 28th March 1956, the handsome Silver Cloud offered here presents beautifully in its silver paintwork and Slate Blue leather interior. The factory specification includes central front and rear armrests, Smiths gauges, a three-spoke Bakelite steering wheel, folding rear tables and manual windows. The extensive burr walnut inlays, rear tables and thick grey sheepskin over mats all present very well. Supplied by Glovers of Ripon to Dr J.F.E. Johnson of Sunderland, it is noted in a letter by the second owner, Harry Cecil Brown of Leeds, his reluctance to part with the Rolls and that the car had featured in TV series Stay Lucky starring Dennis Waterman, as well as the Judith Krantz mini-series Till We Meet Again starring Hugh Grant and Courtney Cox. Reportedly treated to a comprehensive restoration and repaint during the course of 2001, prior to it being dry stored in a Carcoon for 12 years, and then recommissioned in 2013 by Nottingham based mark experts, Riste Motor Company, with work that included the replacement of the distributor cap, rotor arm, points and condensers, drive belts, rocker cover, bushes and the battery. The car has also benefitted from having an electric cooling fan installed to help the car in modern traffic conditions. Forming part of a large private collection for the past two years, the car has always been dry stored and maintained by the vendor's personal mechanic. The vendor bought the car from a close friend of his who had owned the car from around 2015 and who also has an impressive collection that is always kept dry stored. Accompanying the car is a history file including the original Kinsman tyre pump instruction leaflet, copies of original factory build sheets, receipts, correspondence confirming the car to be genuine, historic MoT test certificates dating back to 1972 and a toolkit in the boot which includes a jack. Boasting an impressive provenance, having been featured in a couple of A list television programmes, this handsome 50's luxury saloon is not to be missed and is certainly one of the better Silver Cloud's we have seen.

2005 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Transmission: automaticMileage:60895With a 0-60mph time of six seconds, the 4973cc, R129 Mercedes-Benz SL500 carried on the tradition of the fast and reliable grand touring convertible. A fully operating electric hood, windows, door mirrors and seats made this model easy and comfortable to operate. The fifth generation SL was in production between 2002 and 2008 and featured the all-new retractable hardtop - an important feature for those British showers! Mercedes-Benz followers were impressed with the stability of the car with the hardtop in place and the ease at which they could remove it. Such was its success; the SL is still one of the leading cars in the Mercedes-Benz range. This car features the very capable 5.0 litre 302bhp V8 powerplant mated to a standard automatic gearbox.Originally registered on 20th September 2005 this Mercedes-Benz presents beautifully in dark blue with light grey leather interior. Clearly this has been a well looked after SL500 which is confirmed by a very good service history, the first part of which was by main dealers and latterly by specialists. We are informed GY55 UFV drives well with no known faults. These R230 Mercedes SL500's are very well equipped cars with electric memory seats, heated seats, cruise control and air conditioning all standard features. The 4966cc V8 engine offers brisk performance by any standard and this example is offered for sale with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 31st August 2024. The SL500 model is becoming increasingly sought after and this example is not to be overlooked. We are sure this well-presented example will be enjoyed by the new owner in the coming months!Guide £7,000-£9,500 

1970 Austin Cooper S Mk. II (1275cc) Transmission: manualMileage:The Austin Mini Cooper S Mk. II is a legendary car, which was first introduced in 1967. The car is well known for its unique design, handling, and impressive performance on the road. The car was equipped with a 1275cc engine, which produced 76 bhp, which may not sound like much by modern standards, but at the time, it was considered to be quite powerful for a car of its size. The Cooper S Mk. II was also quite a rare car with only 1,479 destined for the home market and far fewer remaining. The Cooper S Mk. II had a distinctive look that set it apart from other cars of its time. The car's handling was also exceptional, thanks to its front-wheel drive and nimble suspension system, making it a popular choice for racing enthusiasts. Overall, this was a car that was ahead of its time, offering impressive performance, exceptional handling, and a distinctive design that still looks great today. It has become a classic car, which is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.Despatched from the factory on 12th December 1969 this Austin Mini Cooper S was originally registered on 1st March 1970 and was then a personal export to Australia. It was then repatriated to the UK circa 2010 and a total nut and bolt restoration was carried out. A collection of comprehensive photographs confirms the extent of the restoration, with the bodywork being stripped, refabricated where necessary and repainted in the fetching colour combination of red with a black roof. Mechanically no stone was left unturned by the obviously highly skilled mechanic, the engine was bored out and rebuilt, an unleaded cylinder head fitted along with twin 1½ inch SU carburettors. Dry adjustable cones were fitted in place of the hydrolastic suspension. A significant history folder accompanies this Mk. II Cooper S, showing the spend on parts alone to be over £20,000. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 12th February 2024, this is a very tidy example of a highly desirable Austin Cooper S Mk. II. The odometer reading of 2,221 is the mileage the car has covered since the restoration. 

1976 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I Transmission: automaticMileage:104958The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was a luxury saloon car built from 1965 through to 1980 and was the first Rolls-Royce to be constructed using a monocoque chassis and, to date, has the largest production volume of any Rolls-Royce. The original Shadow was 3½ inches narrower and seven inches shorter than its predecessor, the Silver Cloud, but managed to offer increased passenger and luggage space thanks to more efficient packaging. Aside from a more modern appearance and construction, the Silver Shadow introduced many new features such as disc brakes replacing drum brakes and independent rear suspension rather than the ageing live axle design of previous models. It featured a 189bhp 6.75 litre V8 engine from 1970 onwards, mated to a Turbo Hydromantic 400 transmission supplied by General Motors. The superb ride quality achieved in the Shadow was thanks to the innovative high-pressure hydraulic system with dual circuit braking and hydraulic self-levelling suspension.This lovely example of this British classic is presented in Silver Mint with a black vinyl roof and blue leather interior. The woodwork is in good condition throughout, as is the leather interior. The history file contains many receipts for work carried out over the years, handbooks, old MoT test certificates and a stamped service book. The file also contains its original delivery and warranty paperwork dated 3rd March 1976 which is interesting to have. The present owner has had new brake pipes fitted recently and it comes with its desirable registration number. Driving well according to the owner and looking as good as it should, this Rolls-Royce still exudes luxury even after nearly 50 years.

1996 Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG Transmission: automaticMileage:83900AMG was founded as a racing engine forge in 1967 by former Mercedes-Benz engineers; the letters 'AMG' taken from their names; Aufecht, Melcher and Großaspach. In 1990, with AMG having become a high-profile purveyor of modified Mercedes-Benz cars, Daimler-Benz AG and AMG signed a contract of co-operation allowing AMG to leverage Daimler-Benz's extensive dealer network and leading to commonly developed vehicles (the first one being the Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG, in 1993). On 1st January 1999, Daimler-Chrysler acquired 51 percent of AMG shares and AMG was re-named to Mercedes-AMG. In 1995, the C-Class received its first genuine performance model, the C36 AMG, to counter the new six-cylinder BMW M3. The first in the line of the C-Class AMG's and the first joint production car between AMG and Mercedes and was the first of the many Mercedes/AMG F1 Safety Cars that have subsequently followed the C36. Only 5,200 of these cars were produced, the vast majority being left hand drive. AMG took the sublime M104 straight six engine and bored it out and hand assembled it with forged pistons, bespoke camshafts and revised engine management systems to produce the C36's 3.6 litre engine. It had racing-tuned suspension and the 3.6 litre engine had a general output of 276bhp accelerating from 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and top speed was limited to 155mph, an unlimited top speed was recorded at 169mph.This example was imported from Japan in 2014, it has been owned by just one owner, our vendor, here in the UK and has been beautifully maintained throughout by renowned Mercedes Specialists, Star Motors of Caversham. This particular C36 is nigh on unique due to its high specification and has some rare factory additions, such as the individual rear bucket sport seats which we have never seen before, electric sunroof, climate control, electric heated leather seats, black Birdseye maple wood trim, half wood AMG steering wheel and deep pile AMG floor mats. Supplied with a comprehensive service history including Japanese invoices and Star Motor Service invoices since 2014. The bodywork is in superb condition and the underside was fully waxoyled when it arrived in the UK in 2014 and thus is as good today as it was back then. It remains a low mileage car at 84,000 miles and very collectable yet underappreciated, a real wolf in sheep's clothing.Guide Price £10,000-£15,000 

1966 Ford Lotus Cortina Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:In 1961, Colin Chapman was commissioned by Harry Mundy to design a twin cam version of the Ford Kent engine and its first appearance was at the Nürburgring in a Lotus 23 driven by Jim Clark. Soon after, the engine appeared in the Lotus Elan. During the engine's development, Walter Hayes at Ford, asked Colin Chapman to fit the twin cam into 1,000 Ford saloons for Group 2 racing homologation. Chapman accepted the contract and the type 28, or Lotus Cortina as it became known, was born. Whilst Ford supplied the two door bodyshells and took care of the marketing, Lotus engineered the mechanical and cosmetic changes which included the 1558cc engine along with the Elan's close-ratio gearbox, front quarter bumpers and Lotus badges. They also made changes to the interior with a new centre console to accommodate the revised gear lever position, different seats and a later styled dashboard that incorporated a tachometer, odometer, oil pressure, water temperature and fuel gauges. A wood rimmed steering wheel was the finishing touch.This delightful Cortina was originally exported to the US. It was then repatriated to the UK in 2012 and registered with the DVLA on the index number MCY 135D. The car had a total nut and bolt ground-up restoration and was then sold to an Austrian collector. It was featured in a six-page article in a magazine, such is the quality of this Lotus Cortina. Still in left hand guise, the car has once again been repatriated to the UK and at the time of writing, the vendor is communicating with the DVLA to have the car re-registered onto the same number-MCY 135D. This is expected to be completed prior to the auction. The restoration included a full engine rebuild and the fitment of electronic ignition. We are advised this Mk. I Lotus Cortina drives as good as it looks and is sure to appeal to both collectors and investors. With prices of fast Fords rising rapidly this is sure to be a hit.

1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 GE Transmission: automaticMileage:110200If your idea of G-Class ownership doesn't involve oversized wheels, aftermarket body kits, or even a 5.5 litre fire-breather of an engine, but rather the original styling and everyday usability, this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 GE must be considered. It has nine previous keepers, a little over 100,000 miles on the clock, and custom registration 'G20 WAG'. Its blue bodywork further cements the understated styling and the grey interior is similar to what you'd find in a standard Mercedes-Benz saloon from that era.First registered in April 1991, over three decades ago, this example is powered by a three litre straight-six engine mated to an automatic gearbox. The dark blue colour scheme seems to be a great choice, and the paintwork is in good order. G20 WAG has done a little over a hundred thousand miles, and through the MoT records and its visual condition, it is clear that the underside bits have stood the tests of time and use. Currently with its ninth owner the odometer reads 110,200 miles and it is reported that it runs and drives very well indeed. Previously owned by the CEO of Howdens Kitchens the car resided in Scotland where it was maintained regardless of cost. £14,500 was spent on a complete retrim in grey leather as well as the respray in the blue paintwork you see today. The current vendor purchased the car in 2021 and drove the G-Wagon from Scotland to London before treating the 300 GE to a no expense spared service and maintenance program with Edward Hall Mercedes-Benz specialists costing circa £16,500! The work included a new head gasket, fuel lines, the underside was treated and undersealed, new alloy wheels, new all-terrain tyres and new side steps. The history file accompanying the car includes the original toolbox, many previous MoT test certificates, sundry bills including invoice's totalling circa £14,000 for interior retrimming and an overhaul and the more recent invoice for £16,500. Other works include £2,000 spent in 2010, the UK registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until April 2024. Offered with its private and fitting registration number, this is a superb opportunity to acquire a sound 300 GE!

1931 Rolls-Royce 20 / 25 Sedanca De Ville by Windovers Transmission: manualMileage:57000First registered on 7th May 1931 and finished in pastel blue and black with black leather interior, GNS75 was initially ordered by J.J. Jones of 88 St. James's Street, London however the first owner was actually Hylton Ralph Murray-Philipson (Jnr) of Stobo Castle, Peebles. Stobo Castle had been purchased by Hylton Murray-Philipson Snr in 1905 and in 1924 he conveyed the estate to his son who was a pioneer aviator. Hylton's career consisted of being the C.O. of the City of Edinburgh Auxiliary Air Force Squadron, Conservative MP for Twickenham; Chairman of N.E. Marine Engineering Company and a member of the King's Bodyguard for Scotland and the Royal Company of Archers. Hylton Murray-Philipson suffered from ill health and died in 1934 aged 32 leaving GNS75 to his wife Monica and two young children. In 1939 Monica Murray-Philipson sold Stobo Castle to Wenefryde Agatha Scott, 10th Countess of Dysart and after 10 years of being a widow Monica married Colonel P.H. Lloyd of Stone House in Blaston. The Colonel and Murray-Philipson had business connections as they were both company directors of Manvers Main Collieries Ltd Murray-Philipson in 1923/33 and Lloyd in 1940/47. In 1943 GNS75 is shown as being with her second family, that of John Stanley Coombe Beard of Grayshott Hall, Surrey. John Beard was an architect well known for designing over 100 cinemas in many styles, Baroque, Art Deco, Italian Renaissance, Greek Revival and even Egyptian. Interestingly in 1937 Mrs Beard made call to the police about an attempted burglary which resulted in the first arrest directly attributable to the new 999 service.A rare, possibly unique and very attractively designed car incorporating many appealing features such as stylish wings, separate steps in place of running boards, slim bumpers, external visor and louvred bonnet and scuttle with beautifully proportioned coachwork. With a polished aluminium bonnet top and waistline and P80 'bullseye' headlamps with pillar spot lamp all adds to the overall gorgeous design with the incorporation of various Art Deco touches.This 20/25 allows you to instruct your chauffeur from the privacy of the rear passenger compartment with the interior dividing screen while keeping an eye on progress with your own speedometer which is naturally mounted atop the built-in drink's cabinet. Such unusual original features are what make this Rolls-Royce special, even the delightful Sedanca de Ville coachwork is rare with its split separate steps and Art Deco flourishes. The front compartment provides accommodation for the driver and a passenger with a removable roof section for open-air motoring and wind-up windows. The driver's window also featuring a quick release lower section to allow hand signals to be easily executed. A right hand gear change allows for plenty of legroom and the large steering wheel is surmounted by a collection of hand controls. A large bulb horn lies easily to hand and the windscreen can be opened for ventilation. It is shaded by a glass visor and a spot lamp is within the driver's reach. Gauges are also a feature of the rear passenger compartment, although separated by a dividing screen, the rear passengers can keep an eye on their own speedometer as well as being supplied with a clock, barometer and a circular thermometer. The clock, and possibly the barometer, appear to be later additions. The drinks cabinet has provision for holding several decanters and a few glasses in a Lazy Susan, although the glassware itself is no longer present. The leather upholstery looks to be in lovely condition throughout, exhibiting just the right amount of patina without looking tatty. The carpets, door cards and headlining are similarly well presented as are stylish Art Deco door handles and window winders, which place this Rolls-Royce squarely in the 1930s.To the exterior, the Palladian radiator surround is topped with the Spirit of Ecstasy and the long bonnet is flanked by twin side-mount spare wheels. A pair of large Lucas tripod headlamps illuminate the road ahead and are assisted by a centrally mounted spot lamp, as well as the swivelling spot lamp near the driver. Twin horns complete the scene at the front of the car, along with a polished chrome-plated bumper. The Windovers Sedanca de Ville coachwork suits the car well and is beautifully proportioned. It features the unusual running boards, separate for front and rear passengers, as well as a useful luggage boot to the rear. Polished aluminium discs cover the wire wheels and the car runs on a full set of Paymaster tyres. Lifting the long bonnet reveals the powerful, straight-six, 3.7 litre engine. The engine features coil ignition and is fed by an Autovac fuel pump and, unusually for a car of this period, there is a glass bottle of screen wash mounted on the bulkhead, which is likely to be a later addition coupled to a small modern electric pump which has been added for ease of use. Supplied with a history file which includes historic photographs of restoration, instruction book and the original buff logbook coupled to the V5C registration document and copies of handwritten service records. The vendor informs us that the engine starts up easily every time and runs well. It is said to be a joy to drive and mechanically sound with its overhead valves, four-speed gearbox and powerful engine, this Rolls-Royce is certainly very capable and splendidly opulent. An imposing motorcar, which wears fabulously unusual coachwork and retains many original details.

2005 Rolls-Royce Phantom VII Transmission: automaticMileage:108883A historic model in the continuing history of the Rolls-Royce marque, the Phantom was the first all new design to be introduced by the company following its takeover by BMW. Produced at a new factory near Goodwood in Sussex, the Phantom revived a great name from Rolls-Royce's past that had always been synonymous with unrestrained luxury. In keeping with the tradition established by previous Phantoms, the newcomer was a very large motor car, outstretching the old Silver Seraph (the last Crewe-built Rolls-Royce) by 18 while boasting a radiator shell 4 taller. Priced at around £260,000 at time of launch, it was also 40% more expensive. At 140 ½", the new car's wheelbase was only fractionally shorter than that of the superseded Phantom VI that had ceased production in the 1990s; gone however, was the old pushrod V8 engine, its place being taken by an all-new 48 valve V12 of 6.7 litre capacity. Despite being normally aspirated, the latter produced 460bhp, comfortably exceeding the old engine's maximum when turbo-charged, albeit at a high 5,300 revolutions. This abundance of power was transmitted to the rear axle via a six-speed automatic gearbox, while air-sprung suspension and automatic level control ensured that ride quality remained uncompromised. While the body structure represented the ultimate in automotive technology, its accoutrements remained entirely traditional in choice of materials, consisting of the finest hide trim, genuine woollen carpets, and carefully selected wood veneers.This lovely Rolls-Royce Phantom VII was supplied directly from the Goodwood factory with a special ordered paint scheme of Black Adder Blue, a tan leather interior and light wood veneer, the car was also supplied with privacy glass to the rear and picnic tables. The current owner believes that the first owner was the actor and comedian Rowan Atkinson. This Phantom was looked after and serviced by P & A Wood in Great Easton, Dunmow, Essex up to December 2012. Shortly after that the car changed hands, it was wrapped in white and that is how it remained with little use, only 20,000 miles over the next ten years. The current owner purchased this Phantom in March 2016 when the car had covered 100,000 miles. In November 2021 he sent the car to Rolls-Royce Cars Manchester at 108,807 miles where they carried out a major service, fitted a new battery, a new radiator and auxiliary water pump, replaced the alternator seals, fitted a new SRS system wiring loom, changed the charcoal EVAP filter and replaced a number of the chrome body trims, the bill for this work came to over £15,000. When the owner decided to sell this Phantom, he had the body-wrap removed, this showed that the body was in very good condition, although it damaged the paint lacquer, so he had the car repainted matching the original Black Adder Blue paint. This Rolls-Royce is supplied with a new set of 18" wheels with new tyres, a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in October 2024, the owner's manual with service history and copies of the 2021 invoice from Rolls-Royce Manchester.

1955 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Transmission: manualMileage:32401In 1954, Mercedes displayed a concept version of the 190SL at the New York Auto show alongside the 300 SL 'Gullwing'. This concept came to market in 1955 as the 190 SL. A more approachable, less intense sports car compared to the record-breaking 300 SL Gullwing. While the 190 SL featured a carburetted 1.9 litre in-line four-cylinder engine compared to the 300 SL's direct-injected 3 litre slant six, they shared basic engine design, suspension system, and level of detail and craftsmanship which defined Mercedes-Benz. The new engine, which shared the same bore and stroke of the 300 SL, was paired with dual Solex carburettors and produced just over 100 horsepower. This powerplant was mated with a fully synchronized four-speed transmission which sent power to the rear swing axle. The 190 SL implemented the same suspension systems as the 300 SL, albeit with a more stable low pivot point assembly, affording it confident handling and drivability without the tail-happy nature of the 300 SL Gullwing. While the 190 SL did not quite offer the performance of other sports cars of the era, the impeccable quality and attractive styling made the 190 SL a massive success selling 25,881 units before production ceased in 1963. Many of these models were delivered to the United States, where its driving demeanour and elegant styling were highly valued. Nevertheless, the factory did offer an option for the casual weekend racer: a Rennsport packaged 190 SLR, which included options of an aero screen, cut down doors which one could convert, and bumpers removed to reduce weight. A Rennsport derived 190 SL participated in the Mille Miglia, hence its eligibility today. Other notable achievements include a 1956 Macao Grand Prix victory for Doug Steane, and Mr W. Sulke's SLR won the 1958 Rally of Hong Kong.This excellent, very early 1955 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL was built to European specification for Italian delivery to its first owner. The car then ended up with a Swiss collector were the car remained in storage until it was purchased and brought to the UK around 2010. It retains many of the early features of the first production 190 SLs like the desirable early specifications the 'Gullwing' type sports seats providing for a firmer and sportier seating position and the small rear light units. An extensive ground-up restoration at a cost of £100,000 was carried out by a leading marque specialist who retained as much attention to detail as possible with the use of original parts. The bodyshell was stripped down to bare metal and needed very little work to the outer body panels, a credit to its original state. Running superbly on original Solex carburettors set up by Parry Chana of Lux Classics. All the restoration work was completed in 2015, in time for the 190 SL sixth anniversary celebration held at Brooklands where this car was regarded to be the best car at the show. A matching engine and chassis numbers 190 SL restored in its original black exterior colour (DB040) complemented by black mohair hood and cream leather interior. The car has had little use since being restored so when taken to a couple of classic car shows this year it was the best car of the show at Christchurch and was 2nd at Simply Mercedes held at Beaulieu. This 190 SL is supplied with a V5C registration document and comes with extensive history file detailing the restoration, original documentation dating back to 1960s and invoices to the 1970s. A small window hardtop comes complete with all chrome fittings together with a radio delete plate. This excellent 190 SL is eligible and well suited for the modern Mille Miglia event which is reserved only for cars that participated in the original, historic race held between 1927 to 1957. This is a crucial factor for many classic car enthusiasts, as it was recently discovered that a Mercedes-Benz 190 SL was privately entered in the 1956 race and thus joins the privileged list of vehicles. 

1938 Rolls-Royce 25/30 Close Coupled Saloon by Hooper Transmission: manualMileage:82791The Rolls-Royce 25/30 built between 1936 and 1938 is an updated version of the 20/25 with a larger engine to provide more power for the over-large bodies which had been fitted to the earlier model leading to complaints about its performance. The in-line six-cylinder, overhead valve, engine is similar to that used in the 20/25 but increased in capacity to 4,257cc. A single proprietary Stromberg downdraught carburettor replaced the Rolls-Royce one and magneto ignition was no longer fitted but a spare ignition coil was provided. The riveted chassis has rigid front and rear axles suspended by half-elliptic springs with hydraulic dampers. Braking is on all four wheels assisted by a mechanical servo with separate rear brakes fitted for the handbrake. The traditional Rolls-Royce radiator features vertical louvres, the angle of which is controlled thermostatically to control engine cooling. Only the chassis and mechanical parts were made by Rolls-Royce. The body was then made and fitted by a coachbuilder selected by the owner.This lovely and stylish Rolls-Royce 25/30 Close Coupled Saloon by Hooper was delivered to the first owner Mrs Jarrett Thorpe of Hucclecote, near Gloucester on 5th March 1938. According to the Rolls-Royce records kept with the RREC Mrs Thorpe kept the car for sixteen years with it being acquired by the second owner, a Dr. Huw. D. Walters of Llangadog, Carmarthenshire in August 1954. In the 1950's and 60's Dr. Walters built up a collection of about twelve pre-war cars. The current owner's late father, who lived in Llangadog, purchased this 25/30 with a couple of other cars from Dr. Walters in the late 1980's. According to the current owner this 'owner driver' Rolls-Royce has always been very well maintained, it has been fully overhauled and runs and drives superbly. Finished in the original colour of French Grey with a grey Bedford cord cloth interior, this lovely Close Coupled Saloon is supplied with a V5C registration document, the original kneeling lady mascot and copies of the Rolls-Royce record cards and build sheets supplied by the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts Club. This is an opportunity to purchase an 'owner driver' Close Coupled Saloon that has been lovingly maintained and is ready to be used and enjoyed.

1970 Jaguar E-Type Series II Fixedhead Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:60548Powered by the uprated 4.2 litre engine, compared to the 3.8 litre unit fitted to the previous model, the series II E-Type offers longer legs for those continental drivers as well as offering a more practical sports car experience. Those classic E-Type styling cues though, are still very much present with that most beautiful of bonnet lines extending all the way back, taking in the fixedhead cockpit and the ending in the beautifully curved rear end. Interestingly, the DNA from Sir William Lyons only extended to about 1,000 units of this model making it, actually, a rare iteration of this particular E-Type Jaguar.This classic Signal Red example is supplied with a comprehensive history file detailing works going back many years. Most recently though, is a service earlier this year to include a partial carburettor strip down and rebuild. Before that in 2020, a new fuel tank with galvanised assembly, sender unit and gaskets were fitted including a clear-out of all fuel lines with all parts supplied from SNG Barratt. Back in 2010, both seats were removed, carpet taken out, floor checked for rust and treated. The carpet was then refitted including seat foam, carpet shelf and speaker housing unit. Whilst there is minor corrosion to the wheel arches, the condition of the paint is good and the chrome wire wheels are in excellent condition. There is detailed and photographic documentation, in 2009, of the rear subframe removal and strip down. It was then sandblasted with components powder-coated and reassembled with new brake pads and discs fitted, the calipers refurbished followed by reassembly. Supplied with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate and MoT test certificate valid until March 2024, this is a very usable matching numbers example and rare to find offered without reserve.

1989 Volkswagen Golf GTi Transmission: manualMileage:84798The second generation of the Volkswagen Golf and the successor to the Mk. 1 Golf, was launched in Europe at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1983, with sales beginning in its homeland and most other left-hand drive markets soon after. It debuted in March 1984 on the right-hand drive British market. It was Volkswagen's highest volume seller from 1983 and ended in (German) production in late 1992, to be replaced by the Golf Mk. 3. The Mk. 2 was larger than the Mk. 1; its wheelbase grew slightly by 3.0 in, as did exterior dimensions length 7.1 in, width 2.2 in, and height 0.2 in. Weight was up accordingly by about 260 lbs. Exterior design, developed in-house by VW design director Schäfer, kept the general lines of its Giugiaro-designed predecessor, but was slightly more rounded. The Mk. 2 was supplied with a wider range of engine options, including a GTD turbodiesel using the 1.6 'umwelt' (ECO) diesel engine, a DOHC 1781cc 16-valve version of the straight-four GTi as well as the tried and tested 1781cc 8v GTi. All told, about 6.3 million second-generation Golfs were built.This immaculate three-door Golf was registered in January 1989 and presents extremely well in black with a contrasting grey interior. The interior of this iconic car is in tremendous condition showing very little signs of wear. Even the underneath of this enthusiast owned car is in good order and is a testament to the care taken in its restoration. This is an authentic example of one of the most popular cars of the eighties. Given that the value of similar models has seen a recent rise and considering the stunning condition of this GTi it is both reasonably estimated and deserves strong consideration. Offered to auction with a V5 registration document and a fresh MoT test certificate. 

1974 Datsun 260Z Transmission: manualMileage:The Nissan S30 sold in Japan as the Nissan Fairlady Z and then later as the 260Z was the first generation of Z GT two-seat coupé, produced by Nissan Motors, Ltd. from 1969 to 1978. The 260Z engine was enlarged over that of the 240Z with a longer stroke to 2.6 litres and increased the power output to 165bhp. 1974 brought for the first time to the S30 line a new 2+2 seating version, which offered room for four passengers and an extra 11.9" of wheelbase. These cars have a notably different roofline from the two-seat coupés, incorporating larger opening quarter panel windows. The 260Z claimed a few updates or improvements over the 240Z. The climate controls were more sensibly laid out and easier to work, and those cars with air conditioning now had the system integrated into the main climate control panel.This stunning 260Z is one of the rarest and finest examples of the model that we have seen. This original right hand drive manual transmission example was registered in September 1974. The history file for this Nissan includes the original warranty and service book showing the supplying dealer was Ward and Thompson Motors of High Wycombe. In more recent years, this 260Z has benefitted from a nut and bolt restoration for its enthusiast owner that has resulted in the immaculate example we see today. The shut lines are impressive, the chrome work gleams and the paintwork is better than new. There is even an eight-track stereo fitted and an Elvis cassette to enjoy. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and a fresh MoT test certificate, this represents an opportunity not to be missed.

2000 BMW Z3M Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:21390The Z3 was the first modern mass-market roadster produced by BMW. It was introduced as a 1996 model year vehicle, shortly after being featured in the James Bond movie 'Goldeneye'. While the film was number one at the box office, sales of the car peaked, and it was sold out by the time the car was launched. Along with the styling cues, BMW's Motorsports division took the Z3 and shoehorned in the famous S50B32 straight six-cylinder engine from the BMW E36 M3, upping the power to 321bhp and being the first engine to offer 1bhp per cubic centimetre.This example is presented in the iconic colour of Estoril Blue with a matching Estoril Blue and black two-tone leather interior. The car presents in excellent order throughout, thanks to its incredibly low mileage of just 21,390, an average of less than 1,000 miles per year, clearly showing it has been cherished and used sparingly throughout its entire life. The service history is impressive, with evidence of the all-important running in service having been completed in July 2000 at 1,401 miles. A further six services have been carried out, with the most recent being in June 2021, just 600 miles ago. The car is also supplied with an Estoril Blue hardtop. This is a chance to own one of the finest examples of BMW's modern day hot-rod.

1996 Porsche 911 / 993 Carrera 2 Transmission: manualMileage:67155The Porsche 993 was introduced in 1993 as a replacement for the 964 generation of the iconic 911 model and was built until 1998. Regarded by many as the best generation of 911s ever produced from Stuttgart, this car was the last to use the air-cooled flat-six engine that had powered 911s for the previous thirty years. The 993 was offered in a number of guises and specifications during its production life including two and four-wheel drive trains, known as Carrera and Carrera 4 respectively. The 993 was the first generation 911 to have standard six-speed manual transmission. The Carrera, Carrera S, Cabriolet and Targa models (two-wheel drive) were also available with a Tiptronic four-speed automatic transmission which was first introduced in the 964. First delivered to Glenvarigill Porsche on 23rd March 1996, this fantastic 911 has led a pampered life. Ordered in Porsche in Midnight Blue metallic and with optional extras including 17" 'New Cup' design wheels, top tinted windscreen, rear wiper and sunroof. Unchanged from its factory ordered specification, this must be one of the best examples in existence. The car's history file shows all but one MoT test certificate from 2005 onwards, as well many receipts for maintenance carried out by well-regarded Porsche specialists as well as Porsche themselves. The included service book shows no less than 24 stamps in it, with another to be added before the auction. Since 2009, the car has been serviced with Porsche West Byfleet every year and was maintained by the likes of Paragon, Jaz and Northway Porsche prior. Supplied with a fresh MoT test certificate valid until October 2024, the car has covered just 10,656 miles in the vendor's 14-year ownership. Reported to run and drive just as you would expect a car of its pedigree to, it is now only being sold to thin out his collection. Supplied with V5C registration document, MoT test certificate valid until October 2024, service history file, service book along with all its handbooks in their original leather booklet case and previous MoT test certificates. This is a rare opportunity to own an unmodified, well optioned, manual example of this design classic, that was the evolutionary pinnacle of Porsche's legendary air-cooled flat-six. Interested parties should note that during the car’s service at Porsche Byfleet last month, a slight weep to one of the front shock absorbers was noted along with the rear lid gas struts were weakening. The vendor had Porsche Byfleet fit two new front shock absorbers as well as rear lid gas struts. The car was MoT’d at the same time. Please also note that the registration shown in the video does not come with the car. The car is sold with the registration P947 RBP.

1980 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC Transmission: automaticMileage:69241The R107 and C107 Mercedes-Benz SL variants have long been revered amongst classic car devotees, being built to exacting engineering standards and with a subtle air of sophistication. These cars were built from 1971 through to 1989, the second longest single series ever produced by Mercedes-Benz after the G-Class. The SL (R107) was a two-seat convertible with standard soft top, optional hardtop and optional folding seats for the rear bench. Its sibling, the SLC (C107) or 'SL Coupé' derivative, was a two-door hardtop coupé with normal rear seats.  It was launched at the Paris Motor Show and signalled a shift in management thinking at Stuttgart about what made a successful luxury coupé. Sporting a longer wheelbase and sufficient interior room for four, the SLC was a sleek two-door car that combined the seating advantages of a four-door saloon with the style of a sporty coupé. This 450 SLC presents in very good order throughout, the 4520cc, V8 engine runs smoothly and efficiently. Recently repainted in metallic blue the coachwork is in tremendous condition and the cream cloth interior virtually unmarked. This example benefits from the rare feature of a factory fitted metal sunroof. Originally registered on 14th August 1980, this Mercedes-Benz has only four previous keepers. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate. This attractive SLC featured in the 2007 film 'Rise of the Footsoldier' the Pat Tate story, a copy of which is included in the documentation pack.  SLCs are becoming recognised as an underrated 80's classic with good examples changing hands at prices similar to the equivalent roadster.

Saab 95 Hearse Transmission: automaticMileage:81669The Saab 95 Hearse by Coleman Milne is a unique and dignified vehicle designed to serve as a funeral carriage. Based on the Saab 95, a classic Swedish saloon car, this hearse model has been meticulously customised to fulfil its solemn role. Coleman Milne, a renowned coachbuilder, transforms the Saab 95 into an elegant and purposeful hearse. The vehicle's sleek lines and luxurious interior provide a serene and respectful atmosphere for the deceased. With a focus on craftsmanship and attention to detail, the Saab 95 Hearse by Coleman Milne offers a dignified and respectful way to transport the departed on their final journey.This low mileage example was registered in October 2000 and benefits from a multi-function steering wheel, air conditioning, electric windows, central locking, remote alarm and a CD player. We are informed that the 2.0 litre engine mated to an automatic gearbox offers a good combination of performance and economy. This example has four seats and panel sides in place of the original glass making it an extremely comfortable and quiet. This is an alternative to a conventional van and an ideal platform to be sign written. This unusual but practical Saab is presented to auction with a good service history and an MoT test certificate valid until October 2024. When new, similar examples cost in excess of £100,000 making this example offered without reserve even more attractive.

1979 Porsche 928 Transmission: automaticMileage:91302Porsche's intended replacement for the 911 may not have achieved that particular goal, but it wasn't from a lack of performance or technological wizardry. An alloy V8 was attached to a rear-mounted gearbox and the galvanised body had aluminium doors and bonnet. The 928 was launched to a fanfare and surprised many by being named 'European Car of the Year'. Critics immediately recognised the advances inherent in the 928 over the 911 and the car was universally praised as one of the greatest 'GT' cars of all time. It handled, was quick, comfortable and looked fantastic. With the 928, Porsche created a serious long-distance grand-touring car that could also tackle twisting B-roads with ease, thanks to super-direct steering, 50/50 weight distribution and a clever Weissach rear axle that kept the car firmly planted. Many road testers found that their nerve ran out long before the 928's grip. Styling was the same in both 1978 and 1979, with the body lacking both front and rear spoilers. The distinctive rounded rear end without a spoiler is an unmistakable distinguishing feature of the early 928 and is now considered the purest example of the design.This early example of this now very retro design of the iconic Porsche 928 is presented in red with tan/black checkered interior. It was purchased by the late owner in 1990 and used sparingly whilst in his ownership. Its mighty 4500cc V8 engine is mated to an automatic gearbox which always provided plenty of power when needed and with a superb driving position, Porsche thus created the ultimate executive sports coupé. The car comes with its driver's manual, original maintenance records which go as far back as 1979 and has a current MoT test certificate which expires in August 2024. We are informed that there appears to be a small leak in the power steering hose, which was an advisory when the MoT test was carried out but not an essential repair, hence its pass certificate. The odometer reading is currently 91,302 but within the paperwork, one can see that there appears to be discrepancy in this recorded mileage, with no explanation. A great opportunity to purchase one of Porsche's greatest models and being offered with no reserve, this provides the option to purchase at a fraction of its original selling price back in 1979. The car has not been used regularly for a while and although it has a MoT and it starts and drives, we would recommend some re commissioning would be necessary. 

1968 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:12000The Chevrolet Corvette is instantly recognisable by the marque aficionado and non-aficionado alike. The first model, a convertible, was designed by Harley Earl and introduced at the GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept show car. Originally built in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri, the Corvette, today, is manufactured in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The third generation Corvette, the C3, was designed along the lines of the Mako Shark II concept car and was introduced for the 1968 model year continuing in production until 1982. Engines and chassis components were mostly carried over from the C2 but the body and interior were all new.This Chevrolet is an incredibly rare example of a model that was only produced for one year, 1968. It benefits from having a matching numbers 327c.i. engine and four-speed manual gearbox producing some 350hp. It has also been comprehensively restored to original factory specification in Safari Yellow with a contrasting black weave interior and black convertible top. It sits atop period rally wheels and whitewall radial tyres and has travelled very few miles since its restoration. Accompanying this Corvette are two detailed files relating to its history as well as the 1968 handbooks. So significant is it, that this actual car was referred to by the television series, 'Car SOS' hosted by Tim Shaw and Fuzz Townshend. Imported to the UK in 2013, this very good Corvette C3 has been treated to various works in recent years including a new exhaust, bushes, radial arms, new plugs and HT leads, and a new screen at a cost of circa £6,500. Supplied with a V5C registration document and many old MoT test certificates. Rare convertible Corvettes are hard to source, and so further inspection is certainly recommended in this instance.

1990 Porsche 911 / 964 Carrera 2 Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:77570Whilst it is certainly true that there are a number of similarities that follow through from the previous model, the Stuttgart firm have always been very keen to point out that at least 85% of the car, in fact, differed. From the obvious change to the bumpers through to the increased displacement of car's motive power. ABS brakes now became standard and careful attention has been paid to the aerodynamics used to reduce the drag coefficient down to virtually zero. The stability and road holding at high speed were also greatly improved with a new retractable spoiler automatically extending at 50mph seriously increasing downforce and doubling the volume of air fed into the engine compartment.Recent extensive works to the convertible roof include a new gearbox and sensors, motor repairs and a refurbished control unit as well as a comprehensive service approximately 500 miles ago with GT One Ltd, Porsche specialists based in Surrey, a year before that. In fact, works have taken place reliably with this firm stretching back to 2016 which includes regular servicing, air conditioning and general maintenance. The lack of usage undertaken between 2019 and 2023 relates to the Covid epidemic during which time, the owner stayed in Ireland. After which, it was thus refreshed and used again. Two fresh Pirelli P Zero tyres were fitted in 2017 but with only 2,000 miles driven between then and now, their use can only really be described as occasional. Works continue going back with GT One and then back to Porsche themselves including substantial servicing in 2014. In fact, 2014 represents an important date as it was then that the Porsche Service Centre in Byfleet undertook a full and comprehensive engine rebuild costing just shy of £20,000 and detailing nine pages of labour and spare parts. Most recently, this year, it has undergone an extensive 6,000 mile service costing over £4,000 and taking in numerous minor issues. Presented in classic Guards Red, it comes complete with a current MoT test certificate and a soft indoor Porsche cover.

2015 Land Rover Defender 90 XS Transmission: manualMileage:38336The Land Rover Defender was launched in 1948 and, incredibly, production only finished in January 2016 after a continuous run of 67 years. Outwardly, there is little to distinguish the post-1983 vehicles from the Series III Land Rover. A full-length bonnet, revised grille, plus the fitting of wheel arch extensions to cover wider-track axles are the most noticeable changes. Internally, coil springs offered a more comfortable ride and a permanent four-wheel drive system derived from the Range Rover featuring a two-speed transfer gearbox with a lockable centre differential. A modernised interior and a new series of progressively more powerful and modern engine characterised things under the skin.This Defender 90 XS was originally registered on 7th October 2015 and has remained in the hands of the purchaser ever since. The XS model was a good specification vehicle with standard equipment including power steering, heated seats, anti-lock brakes and air conditioning. However, the vendor has upgraded a significant number of items on this Land Rover including; black chequer plating, side steps, multi-height towbar, Sawtooth alloy wheels, security hinges on all doors, stainless steel hinges on all three doors and bonnet, additional lights to the rear, removable steering wheel with a lockable boss, tool drawer in the rear footwell and upgraded front grille and headlight surround. Clearly this has been a very well cared for Land Rover as the specification and condition suggests. The mileage of 38,336 is confirmed by a full and comprehensive service history. Supplied with a V5C registration document together with an MoT test certificate valid until 30th August 2024. Land Rover Defenders are becoming increasingly popular, this one owner, low mileage example is sure to attract attention, viewing in person to fully appreciate the condition and specification of this 90 XS diesel is highly recommended. 

1988 Mercedes-Benz 280 GE Transmission: automaticMileage:68176The 1988 Mercedes 280 G-Wagon, also known as the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, is an iconic and rugged luxury SUV that has stood the test of time. Introduced in 1979, this vehicle has maintained its distinctive boxy shape and exceptional off-road capabilities. The 280 G-Wagon of 1988 was powered by a robust 2.8 litre inline-six engine, delivering ample torque for challenging terrains. Its military origins are evident in its durable construction, with a ladder frame and three locking differentials that ensure exceptional off-road performance. Over the years, it has become a symbol of status and adventure, cherished for its timeless design and unmatched reliability.First registered on 10th May 1988 and offered in black with the original tartan grey Mercedes trim, this desirable long wheelbase 280 GE is fitted with a 2.8 litre petrol engine that is mated to an automatic transmission. This example also features a 'jump seat' to the rear, so in total it has space for nine passengers. This 280 GE boasts just four previous owners, a V5C registration document and a fresh MoT test certificate. 

1965 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagoda Transmission: automaticMileage:In 1960, executive director Fritz Nallinger proposed to develop a completely new SL design, based on technology from the W112. This led to the W113 platform, with an improved fuel-injected 2.3 litre M127 inline six-cylinder engine. The Mercedes-Benz W113 roadsters, designed by Paul Bracq, were produced from 1963 through to 1971. They were known as the 'pagoda roof' SL. Most of these early SLs were sold with both the removable hardtop and a soft top. The 230 SL made a remarkable debut at the prestigious Geneva Motor Show in March 1963 where Nallinger introduced it as follows; It was our aim to create a very safe and fast sports car with high performance which, despite its sports characteristics, provides a very high degree of travelling comfort.This right hand drive, 230 SL Pagoda is one of the finest examples we have offered. Originally registered on 1st June 1965, this example has benefitted from being well cared for by its enthusiast owner, who can be found most weekends detailing this impressive Mercedes. The car presents extremely well in gleaming grey metallic coachwork over immaculate red leather. This look is enhanced with a new soft top hood and a factory supplied hardtop and the car benefits from the rare factory option of a kinderseat . Recent works have been undertaken by leading marque specialists Roger Edwards of Amersham. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and a valid MoT test certificate, this showroom condition example of this popular car deserves serious consideration by any enthusiast. 

1976 Aston Martin AM Vantage Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:48588The Aston Martin AM Vantage was the first model produced by the new Aston Martin team after their purchase of the company from David Brown. Numerous improvements were made to the DBS6 on which the car was based, the most significant of these being the change in the frontal styling to incorporate single headlamps rather than the twin headlight set up used in the DBS. The car was produced during 1972/3 and only 70 of this model were manufactured, thus making it a rare motor car. All these fantastic cars were 'Vantage-engined' to the highest state of tune for this engine 'SVC'. They represent a special place in Aston Martin history as they were the last six-cylinder cars with a heritage stemming from the greatest era of the firm's racing history and the last to be fitted with wire wheels. The model benefited from many improvements developed and implemented throughout the five years of DBS production, including many mechanical and cosmetic changes. Of most significance and, like the last fifty examples of the DBS, the car used the same later 'dog-leg' ZF five-speed gearbox as used in the DBSV8. It is notable that, though the V8-engined model with the same bodystyle was introduced in 1970, demand for the six-cylinder AM Vantage continued through 1973 until the factory no longer offered the alternative. Though the V8-engined cars are fine in their own right, this affection and appreciation for the six-cylinder cars has had a direct bearing on demand and they now command a premium in the market up to 50% higher than their V8 counterpart.Originally registered on 3rd March 1976 this Aston Martin presents beautifully in Stronsay Silver with a sumptuous burgundy leather interior. Prior to the sale to the previous owner in 2013 the car was extensively restored by respected marque specialists Runneymede Motor Company, one of the most attractive things about the car at the time was the 44,000 miles showing on the odometer. During the restoration the body was stripped back to bare metal and repainted in its current colour, the paint finish being of a very high quality. The engine was rebuilt and upgraded to 4.2 litres. The automatic transmission was upgraded to a five-speed T5 Tremac gearbox with an uprated clutch. A Harvey Bailey handling kit was also fitted transforming the handling of this AM Vantage. A new wiring loom was fitted along with additional soundproofing. Supplied with a V5C registration document, together with a significant history folder confirming the extent of the restoration. This quintessentially British sports car is offered for sale with a sensible reserve given the condition and mileage, we are proud to present this Aston Martin to the market. Come and see for yourself why this car is special"¦.you won't be disappointed.

1965 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE Coupé Transmission: automaticMileage:38600The values of these wonderful cars are now following the same upward climb as the Pagodas; and in this condition represent an extremely sound investment as well as being a real delight to own and drive. In March 1962, Mercedes-Benz released the 300 SE Coupé. The car featured the Daimler-Benz top of the range 2996cc engine and, as such, this vehicle remained deliberately split from the rest of the W111 family to emphasise the differences in the much higher level of specification. Today, the 1965 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE Coupé is revered as a collector's gem, symbolising an era of automotive mastery and craftsmanship that continues to captivate enthusiasts worldwide.There are now just a few remaining right hand drive examples of the 300 SE, especially in the stunning condition of this impressive Mercedes-Benz. It is the perfect example of what can be achieved with a detailed, ground-up restoration of the beautiful W111 model. The vendor informs us that he had been looking for a 300 SE for a while and found this car in New South Wales, Australia. It was in the ownership of the chairman of the Mercedes-Benz club of Australia. The car having been exported from the U.K. some years earlier. On its return to England this Mercedes was repainted. The paintwork is exceptional, the panel gaps are impressive, and the chrome work gleams, even the underside of this classic Mercedes-Benz is clean. We are informed that this coupé is a comfortable delight to drive and regularly turns heads everywhere it goes. Presented to auction with a V5C registration document and a file containing various bills and receipts and an original buff logbook. This fantastic example is estimated well given the condition of the car and the rarity of the model.

1965 Ford Lotus Cortina Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:There are few road and racing cars more instantly recognised than a Lotus Cortina, with its green arrow pointing its way so clearly towards success. Using Ford's eponymous two-door saloon and Colin Chapman's fabulous twin-cam engine, the marriage was a match made in heaven. Chapman commissioned Harry Mundy, of Coventry Climax fame, to come-up with a twin-cam version of Ford's Kent engine. Keith Duckworth from Cosworth tuned the motor and the 1.6 litre unit was born. Together with the same close-ratio gearbox as the Elan, some drastically altered suspension and lightweight alloy panels used for doors, bonnet and boot, weight began to be shed and lap times dropped. The interior received an updated dash featuring the necessary dials, uprated seating and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. By 1966, the Lotus Cortina had earned an impressive competition reputation. Motor Sport greats such as Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, Vic Elford, Jack Sears, Sir John Whitmore, and Jacky Ickx all raced them and helped the car gain the iconic status it has today.This example of this iconic racing saloon is in race trim and race prepared with full roll cage, bucket seat and carries the usual Lotus Cortina livery. The present owner, who used to race the British Touring Car Championship in the 1960s against such luminaries as Jack Sears, Sir John Whitmore and Jim Clark to name a few, bought the car in early 2000s with the view he wanted to compete on the circuits with his son. Barwell Motorsport were instrumental in its preparation for competition with the scrutinizing input from the vendor to make sure the car was going to as competitive as possible at that time which it was! In 2002, on the rolling road, the car showed an output of 185 bhp which, considering its interior is stripped out for racing etc, it was a quick racing saloon and still is in the right hands of course! The car was first delivered to its new owner on 8th November 1965 as shown in the original buff log book and we believe that in the 1990s the car was converted for race use but there is no paperwork to support this timeline of the work carried out. The car is fitted with a power lock differential suitable for most circuits 4.5/1 and a further diff 4.2/1 for longer circuits, Bullet gearbox and racing clutch, modified half shafts extra strong, fully adjustable suspension and disc brakes all round, the engine has a solid billet crankshaft and modified camshafts up to date starter and alternator. Within the current vendor's ownership, the car has won many awards together with his son at the wheel, proving that it is indeed still capable of winning in the right hands as they were when driven in anger in period by Jim Clark etc. The car comes with a spare period engine, and a standard gearbox ( photographed), lots of smaller spare's, original drum brakes etc. original buff log book and various invoices showing expenditure over a period of years. A great opportunity to purchase an iconic racing saloon which is eligible for many historic events including the world famous Goodwood Revival (subject to invitation by Lord March).

2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI 'Tommi Makinen' Edition Transmission: manualMileage:83490By mid-1996, Mitsubishi's rallying success began to really reflect in Lancer Evolution sales. The 1996 World Rally Championship season brought Mitsubishi, a new driver, the blisteringly quick Finn named Tommi Makinen, and its first World Rally Championship drivers' title. By 1997, rallying had captured the imagination of people all over the world and Mitsubishi sold 6,000 Evolution IVs in the first three days of its launch! In the latter-half of 1999, Mitsubishi unleashed a special edition to celebrate its favourite drivers four consecutive WRC drivers' titles from 1996-1999, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI 'Tommi Makinen Edition' (TME). The Evolution VI was already a technological tour de force, but the TME had a more responsive titanium turbocharger, uprated and lowered suspension, quicker steering, a different exhaust, a new ECU, beefed-up transfer case internals, a redesigned front bumper for even better cooling and authentic 17" WRC Enkei alloy wheels. Plus, there was a special interior, featuring embossed Recaro seats, a Momo steering wheel with red stitching. The performance upgrades saw the 0-60mph sprint obliterated in 4.4 seconds and a maximum top speed of 150mph. Power was rumoured to be over 300bhp, rather than the 276bhp stated.This lovely, right hand drive, UK supplied, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI 'Tommi Makinen' Edition, numbered 029, was first registered in April 2001 and has been serviced and fully maintained since with a fully stamped service book. In 2014, at about 70,000 miles the engine was removed and completely rebuilt, uprated and balanced using a number of racing components including C-Tec tubular exhaust manifold, a Precision 6262 Generation 2 Turbo charger and a new remapped ECU, all at a cost of over £10,000. It was then Dyno'd on a rolling road giving a reading of 570bhp. Finished with silver paintwork and having the correct original black and red chequered Recaro seats, the car is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in August 2024, the handbook pack containing the fully stamped service book and a file with invoices, previous MoT test certificates, which include details and invoices relating to the engine rebuild including the Dyno results. These rare, highly collectable, rally homologation icons continue to generate serious interest with collectors worldwide.

1958 Aston Martin DB Mk. III Tickford Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:12200The Aston Martin DB Mk. III, a classic British sports car produced from 1957 to 1959, holds a special place in automotive history and remains a beloved icon of its era. Building upon the success of its predecessors, the DB Mk. III represented a culmination of Aston Martin's design and engineering prowess, offering a blend of performance, luxury, and style. Under the sleek and elegant exterior, the DB Mk. III was powered by a 2.9-litre straight-six engine that delivered impressive power and responsiveness. This engine was coupled with a four-speed manual transmission, allowing for spirited driving and a top speed of around 120 mph. The car's handling was exceptional, with a refined suspension system that offered a comfortable yet sporty ride. The DB Mk. III featured a handcrafted interior, exuding a sense of opulence and sophistication. Its leather upholstery, wooden dashboard, and fine attention to detail made it a desirable choice for discerning enthusiasts. The exterior design was characterized by its iconic grille and an aerodynamic body that hinted at the car's performance capabilities.Originally registered on 22nd April 1958 this Aston Martin presents beautifully in Midnight Blue with tan leather interior. In recent years this car has benefited from significant financial investment, the result of which is a delightful Aston Martin DB Mk. III Tickford Coupé, which we are proud to offer for sale. Owned by the current registered keeper since 2010, this DB Mk. III has, during his stewardship, had a complete repaint by marque specialist Mitchell Motors in Wiltshire, this was carried out in 2019. Earlier than this, in 2014, Feltham Aston Martin experts Davron Engineering completed a full engine rebuild, including an unleaded fuel conversion and a gearbox rebuild. The rear axle was rebuilt in 2018. With invoices totaling some £60,000 it is clear this Aston Martin has been lovingly looked after with no expense spared. We are advised UYR 420 drives with no known faults, to be expected of such a well-cared for example. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a history folder, the DB Mk. III Tickford is generally thought of as the last of the 'Feltham Cars' prior to production being moved to Newport Pagnell. 

1967 Jaguar E-Type Series I 2+2 Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:18618Launched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type was nothing short of a revelation. With its heady blend of supercar performance, breathtaking styling and low price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. Early sportscar racing success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement its reputation. Built as a monocoque with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent road holding and handling capabilities. The Jaguar E-Type Series I 2+2 was designed to be a more practical version of the legendary E-Type, with a longer wheelbase and additional interior space. It was produced from 1966 to 1967, and it featured a 4.2 litre inline-six engine that produced 265 horsepower. One of the most notable features of the Jaguar E-Type Series I 2+2 is its sleek and timeless design. The car has a long, flowing hood and a low-slung profile that gives it a sense of speed and power. The body of the car is made of lightweight aluminium, which helps to reduce its overall weight and improve its performance.This 4.2 litre Series I E-Type rolled down the production line in 1967. Its left hand drive configuration saw it dispatched to America, where it remained until it was repatriated some six years ago. On returning to the UK, the car was subjected to a full rebuild returning the steering wheel to the right hand side, easy enough to alter when you are taking a car back to a bare shell. The restoration was competed in March of 2020 and the DVLA then issued it with its first UK V5C registration document.  The restoration work was carried out by Rushton Engineering in Devon. They have been rebuilding E-Types since 1987 and a quick trawl of their website, reveals the bold claim as to the quality of their work: "œOur normal restorations are aimed at an as new standard but are always better. We can restore to the exact factory specification, fit subtle upgrades or simply use modern technology to enhance your driving experience."When presented for restoration the car was white but it was decided to return it to its original colour and it was repainted in a rather fetching Opalescent Blue. The panel gaps appear in great shape and undoubtedly better than those created on a 1960s. The paint finish is still excellent as is the extensive chrome which was either completely replaced or re-chromed.The same level of care and attention has been given to the interior. The burgundy leather seats are supple and supportive. It is not only the seats that have had a retrim, door cards, dash and centre console have all been lavished with attention. The boot has been retrimmed too and is ready to receive a modicum of luggage. The 2+2 E-Type Coupé is surprisingly practical, so no need to travel light on those weekends away. There are also some notable upgrades including air conditioning which makes sense, ideal for those warm summer days. The period looking radio hides a secret, it is actually a modern DAB unit in disguise, so no crackly old MW and last, but by no means least, drop your hand from the delightful wood-rimmed steering wheel and it will fall upon the gear stick, with the power to now control an uprated five-speed Getrag gearbox which modernises the drive to be useable on modern roads and in traffic especially cruising at higher speeds. This was coupled to new stainless-steel exhaust, suspension components and brakes upgraded to Fosseway vented four-pot discs. The engine was rebuilt, having the valve guides and seals renewed and new high tensile studs were fitted. We are told the car drives beautifully, just as one would expect when restored by specialists to the highest of standards.Offered with a full photographic restoration CD, bills for maintenance and improvements since the restoration. This is a fabulously restored E-type with the added practicality a 2+2 brings and the potential to purchase a car for a fraction of what it would cost to restore to a car this standard.

1976 Alfa Romeo GT Junior Transmission: manualMileage:47500Mention Alfa Romeos from the 1960s and 1970s and what usually springs to mind is the marque's 105 Series Coupé, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Bertone and considered to be one of his greatest designs. Not only as one of the best looking and handling classic saloon cars of the period, but the advanced specification, with its five-speed gearbox, all-round disc brakes, independent suspension, and powerful twin-cam engine, still has the capability to embarrass many of its modern counterparts.This 1976 Alfa Romeo GT Junior (105 two-door coupé) is presented in lovely red coach work and has previously successfully circuit raced in South Africa under a FIA Historic Passport (since expired). Its specification included a balanced two litre Nord engine with Group One cams, custom exhaust system, remote oil cooler, bespoke aluminium radiator, Watts linkage rose-jointed rear suspension, camber adjustable front suspension, bespoke front anti-roll bar with rose-jointed drop links, four-pot front brakes, 4.3FD LSD differential, lightweight doors and boot lid, Perspex side windows and a stripped interior with six-point roll cage.Imported to the UK in 2017, the Alfa has recently been subject to a major restoration and conversion to 'Fast Road' specification. Work carried out included an overhaul of the suspension components and bodyshell repairs where required, with the underside treated with Bilt Hamber Dynax. Numerous new parts, mainly sourced from Classic Alfa and Alfaholics with invoices in the history file, were fitted including Weber twin 40DCOEs and alloy mounts, fuel pump and Malpassi regulator, Cobra Monaco Pro bucket seats (in date), Nardi Signature steering wheel, custom sump guard, electronic ignition unit, Bosch blue coil, plugs and leads, and rebuilt brake calipers. Externally the car was treated to new head lamps and rings, tail lamps, sidelights, lightweight bonnet, GTA alloy wheels with Michelin tyres, windscreen, chrome surround and seal, wiper arms and blades. Further new parts include a clutch master cylinder, adjustable front top-arms, lowered Eibach springs and Koni yellow dampers, spring pans, complemented by zinc-plated front suspension arms with Lemforder ball joints. Most recently, a new starter motor, master switch and battery were fitted; the list goes on but this should give a good indication.Since the restoration and some would say softening to 'Fast Road' specification, Peter Smart Classic Alfas carried out a full health check including setting up the Weber carbs and engine timing and adjusting the suspension settings. Finally, they carried out a full respray in period-correct Alfa Rosso. The car shows as Historic status on its V5C registration document and is therefore MoT and Tax exempt. It is a high-performance, classic car that can be driven to 'cars and coffee' runs or enjoyed once again on the track, either way it is a beautiful and iconic Alfa Romeo.

1955 Sunbeam 90 Mk. III Transmission: automaticMileage:88425The Sunbeam 90 was produced and built by Sunbeam-Talbot from 1948 to 1954 and continued as the Sunbeam Mk III from 1954 to 1957. A further 3bhp was extracted from the 2,267cc, four-cylinder engine, bringing the total to 80bhp and raising top speed to 91mph, while externally the model underwent a mild front-end facelift and gained a set of Raymond Loewy-inspired engine bay 'portholes'. Otherwise, the Mk. III remained much the same as the preceding Mk. IIA, with four-speed manual transmission, steering-column gear-change and independent front suspension. The model remained in production until 1957, in total approximately 2,250 examples were manufactured.This Sunbeam has been owned by the vendor for the last six years and has proven to be totally reliable throughout his stewardship. These were stylish cars back in the 50's with the back door hinged at the rear. Finished in two-tone grey over blue with a matching grey interior we are advised by the vendor LSK 978 drives well given its 68 years of age, although we have been made aware the fuel gauge does not function. Supplied with a V5C registration document this Sunbeam 90 saloon is a great way to enter classic car motoring for a modest outlay.

1968 MG C GT Transmission: automaticMileage:Presented in the original metallic Riviera Silver Blue coachwork, this particular example occupies a famous part of MG history. Built in March 1968, it is understood that this car spent the next few weeks in the MG Abingdon Engineering Department being checked over before despatched to the Factory Press Fleet, featuring in the 7th November 1968 Autocar road test (a copy of this magazine is in the MG's history file) and various factory promotions of that year. Indeed, the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate dated July 1989 (on file) confirms the correct colour and destination after build. It has been fitted with adjustable electric power steering, partially polybushed suspension and Spax front shock absorbers.The carburettors have also been rebuilt and it benefits from a high-capacity MG Motorsport Ltd high-capacity radiator, a new water pump, rebuilt distributor, Pertronix ignition, 'Green Stuff' brake pads, a stainless-steel fuel tank and new fuel pump. The private vendor has had the car fitted with a correct period radio has also been installed along with H4 headlamps, new tailgate gas struts and (in the last 200 miles) a reconditioned automatic gearbox and torque converter. For safety, modern inertia reel seat belts have been fitted and the conversion to a single high-capacity 12-volt battery has taken place. Also included within the extensive history file are documents showing the comprehensive body and engine restoration. The fine example carries a current MoT test certificate valid until August 2024, an MGC workshop manual and a box of spares.   

1977 Alfa Romeo Alfaholics Spider-R Transmission: manualMileage:1500A superb bespoke open-top performance car, known as the world's fastest Alfa Spider, and featuring new or refurbished parts throughout after a recent full engine and gearbox rebuild. Powered by an uprated and fuel-injected, MoTec ECU controlled Alfaholics 2.0 litre Twin Spark engine, producing 216bhp, coupled to a five-speed fast road specification strengthened gearbox with LSD sending power to the rear wheels. Restoration and upgrade work was completed by Alfaholics themselves, reference to this can be found not just online but on the Alfaholics website and with bills from our client. Using only the highest quality parts, this car is based upon the mechanicals of the GTA-R with the engine, brakes and suspension set-up and all bespoke built for an Alfaholics client.Based upon an original right hand drive UK-sourced Alfa Romeo Spider S2, which was first registered in 1977, this stunning example is presented in Bianco Nuvola. Subject to a six-figure build, the Alfaholics clients initial focus was the car becoming not only the fastest S2 Spider but also an incredibly capable track focused machine. Stiffening the chassis and lowering the floors were two of the biggest challenges taken on by Alfaholics in the build process but the car was equipped with a T45 ultra-lightweight custom cage, all installed below the car's waistline and tied into main tubing running the length of the floors inside the sill structures. The shell was fitted with lowered and ribbed floor pans, initially for racing seats but now enabling space for a taller driver.Its 2.0 litre Twin Spark engine has received a nut and bolt engine rebuild featuring a big valve head with race valve gear, billet rifle-drilled cams, billet H-section con-rods and forged coated pistons and new liners. It is now fitted with a MoTec Alfaholics programmable throttle body fuel injection system and an aluminium, foam-filled 55 litre fuel tank. An Alfaholics race paddle clutch kit is fitted and was set-up on a rolling road. The high-quality GTA-R suspension package includes Alfaholics extreme lightweight suspension trailing arms, wishbones and race aluminium T-Bar, aluminium adjustable shock absorbers, adjustable camber arms with revised bushings and a six-pot brake kit for enhanced stopping power. The car also features a number of bespoke parts created by Alfaholics, including a bespoke GTA style grille and door grab handles, designed by Alfaholics from scratch and milled from billet aluminium before being polished to a high shine.Since this build and under our vendors ownership, he has decided to soften what was an incredible track car to become the ultimate fast road example, this has included a raft of 2022/3 GTA-R Alfaholics parts more recently fitted. The gearbox originally a six-speed sequential track box is now a far more road usable five-speed example built and strengthened to fast road specification with a clutch designed for the road. The race spec seats were exchanged for a new Connolly leather retrimmed set of period bucket seats which we think suit the car better but still with three-point Corbeau belts on an inertia reel making it comfortable for road use but also secure for a car and passenger travelling at speed. The engine has also been fully rebuilt less than 1,500 miles ago and new Alfaholics GTA-R 2022/3 brakes and a full new 2022/3 Alfaholics electrical loom with MoTec ECU system has been fitted alongside new billet steering box, Alfaholics 10k racing propshaft and GTA-R road springs to name a few items. The bills within the history file show an incredible £56,000 plus maintenance and upgrade schedule which has been comprehensive over the past 24 months with a £12,000 interior, £13,000 gearbox and prop cost coupled to circa £32,000 on a MoTec loom and 2022 GTA-R parts and upgrades.To complement the new seats for road use, the car was beautifully re-trimmed in quilted Connolly burgundy leather, the rear section is trimmed to match as are the doors which are topped with black leather that extends across all of the car's interior including the dashboard, surrounding the car's dashboard dials which is now made of a bespoke Carbon fibre unit and converted to Race Technology Digital Dash in order to make best of the MoTec system found in the car. The central tunnel was reworked to be more road friendly, now with a pocket to store a phone and a letterbox glovebox was added for maps, sunglasses etc. added to the dashboard. The car is accompanied by a description of the restoration from Alfaholics and all maintenance invoices from the restoration itself, a full annual service history since the rebuild, with documents for recent upgrades and original documentation from the donor car. Recent invoices include a 2021 by Analogue Automotive Ltd. engine oil and filter change, a coolant change and the replacement of the hydraulic fluids. Prior to this, the car was serviced annually while in dry storage and most recently by Alfaholics themselves as part of the upgrade works in 2022/23.A VERY fast road version of Alfa Romeo's beautiful Spider S2, the Alfaholics Spider-R features tried and tested mechanical upgrades, which are shared with the acclaimed GTA-R. There are numerous other recent and car specific Alfaholics factory upgrades, which make it a capable companion for spirited weekend drives, cruising the city streets, going for dinner with the wife or nipping to the South of France. This car presents in excellent cosmetic and mechanical order and is now ready for the next owner who would be saving over £200,000 and a three year wait for Alfaholics to build you a new one.*Interested parties should note that the odometer reading is since the full engine rebuild.
