Registration - GVV 619Chassis No - SCFAC13364B501476M.O.T. - 05/2024Odometer - 93,600 A production run of just 1,503 cars means Aston Martin’s mighty Vanquish is a pretty rare site at auction. The handsome example offered here subtly combines silver bodywork with a sumptuous cream hide interior. It was first registered on January 1, 2005 and was originally employed as an Aston Martin demonstrator, so is notably well equipped – the specification includes heated front screen, SAT/NAV, telephone and handset, while its heated and fully electric front wing-back seats and front splitter are from the later Vanquish S. The vendor calculates that the service spend has topped £100,000 to date, and notes that the former keeper also invested £30,000 with a renowned restoration company to bring the Aston up to scratch, all of which is documented in the history file, including the replacement of the subframes. The latest service was carried out within the last month at a cost of £1,900. The vendor now classes the V12 engine and transmission as ‘excellent’, the bodywork and paintwork as ‘good’, and the upholstery as ‘average’ – he volunteers that the driver’s seat and mat are a bit worn and there is a slight scratch on the steering wheel. He is now selling ‘GVV 619’ (the registration is included in the lot) complete with lots of history, service book with 12 stamps, two keys and a current MOT valid to May 30 next year. When launched in 2001 the V12 Vanquish was the most advanced Aston Martin of its time, and a major progression from the previous V8-powered models. Its bodyshell was formed from extruded aluminium sections both bonded and riveted around a carbonfibre transmission tunnel. The exterior panels were created from ‘super-formed’ aluminium that were then tailored and bonded to the shell by hand for optimum fit. The interior was a sea of sumptuous leather. Its 6-litre engine was developed from that in the DB7 Vantage to produce 460bhp, courtesy of revised inlet manifolds, camshafts, valve gear, crankshaft and exhaust system. The advanced transmission was operated by steering column-mounted F1-style paddles and the newcomer could sprint to 60mph in 4.7 seconds and attain 190mph flat out. Production of the much-vaunted Vanquish ran from 2001 to 2004, during which time 1,503 examples were manufactured. In summary:Over £100,000 spent on service to date and £30,000 on restorationA four-owner and 93,600-mile exampleA notably well-equipped specimen including some Vanquish S parts

Registration - XSJ 153Chassis - 21525M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 37,317 This fascinating two-seat special is based on a 1947 Alvis TA14. The vendor acquired it in 2014 and informs us that the boat-tailed conversion was carried out some years previously by a garage in Caernarfon. Evidently all the running gear is TA14, including the rod brakes, but the engine is not the original one. The unique car’s specification includes: a clip-on hood and side screens; semaphore arms; a working Smiths heater; a charming radiator mascot depicting a large-pawed hare; a pair of massive Lucas King of the Road headlights; and a period brass fire extinguisher. The vendor confirms the car is running, but says it would currently benefit from a service and some light recommissioning. He presently grades the four-cylinder engine, manual gearbox, two-seater bodywork, green paintwork and black vinyl upholstery as all being in ‘average’ condition. ‘XSJ 153’ is now available for purchase complete with a large quantity of spares (including another engine, two spare gear boxes, as well as spare guages), that can be collected from the vendor, plus an array of old tools and vintage fuel cans etc, but relatively little paperwork. The TA 14 was Alvis’s first post-war offering and was sold from 1946 to 1950, at which point the model was superseded by the TA21. The TA14 was available in two configurations: a four-door saloon with body by Mulliners of Birmingham, or a two-door drophead with body by either Tickford or Carbodies. The model was based on a widened and lengthened pre-war Alvis 12/70 chassis and retained that car’s leaf spring suspension and mechanically operated brakes. However, whereas the 12/70 was equipped with wire wheels, the newcomer was fitted with steel discs rims.The Alvis was powered by an enlarged 12/70 engine – a four-cylinder unit of 1892cc fed by a single SU carburettor and producing 65bhp. This was mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. The model had a top speed of around 74mph and could reach 60mph in just over 22 seconds. Some 3,311 examples of the model are said to have been produced in the four years of production. In summary:A unique two-seat special with Alvis TA14 running gearIn running order but in need of a service and some recommissioningLot includes a host of spares, including a second engine

Registration - T986 RPHChassis No - WBABK82030ET81955M.O.T. - July 2024Odometer - 86,353 The format of a four-seat convertible has much appeal, yet the choice of such cars is surprising narrow, among which the E36 BMW has much to commend itself; especially when powered by the 2.8-litre version of BMW super-smooth straight-six engine. The tidy example on offer is finished in the appealing colour of Bostongrün metallic that’s complemented by black half-leather interior trim. It has had just four keepers from new, who’ve amassed a relatively modest total mileage of 86,397 between them. The most recent custodian has owned the car for the last eight years and currently classes the engine and automatic gearbox as ‘excellent’, and the bodywork, paintwork and upholstery as ‘good’. He is now offering the convertible at No Reserve, and complete with M-Tech side skirts, new battery and alternator, its complete set of tools, book pack including the service record stamped to 86,248 miles (ie just 149 miles ago), plus a current MOT valid to July 20 next year. The third generation of BMW’s all-conquering 3 Series model (code name E36) was launched to much acclaim in October 1990. It was penned by Pinky Lai and Boyke Boyer who, as its silhouette suggests, were intent on optimising the newcomer’s aerodynamics. The model was ultimately produced in saloon, hatchback, coupe, convertible and estate guises, and with a choice of engines ranging from 1.6 to 3.2 litres. The 2.8-litre option available from 1994 to 1999 was a punchy straight-six unit of 193bhp and 207 lb ft of torque – sufficient output to propel the BMW to 60mph in around seven seconds flat and on a to a top speed just shy of 150mph. The E36 range was supplanted by the E46 in the year 2000 In summary:Just four keepers and 86,397 miles from newComes with full service history and current MOTBeing sold at No Reserve

Registration - N442 PAEChassis No. - WDB1290632F134573M.O.T. - June 2024Odometer - 117,000 ‘N442 PAE’ was first registered in February 1996 and matches attractive Tourmaline metallic green bodywork with Mushroom-coloured hide interior trim and a black hood. The comprehensive specification also includes a colour-keyed hard top, while the Benz rides on period-correct eight-hole alloy wheels shod with ‘almost new’ Continental tyres all-round. The vendor has owned the SL since August 2022, and informs us that it has ‘always been garaged, lightly used and well maintained’ during his tenure. He presently grades the automatic transmission, convertible bodywork and upholstery as ‘excellent’, and the straight-six engine and paintwork as ‘good’, and adds that the soft top functions as it should, though volunteers that there is a degree of discolouration to its windows. He is now selling the car complete with JVC stereo system, partial service history, a selection of invoices and a current MOT valid to June 1 next year. The odometer currently reads 117,000 miles. Mercedes have been producing an SL (Sport Leicht) model since 1954, when the landmark 300 SL was unveiled. The 190 followed in 1955, completing the first generation of cars. The fourth generation (R129 Series) was based on a shortened version of the W124 saloon floorpan and first saw the light of day at the 1989 Geneva Salon. Runner-up to the Citroën XM in the following year’s European Car of the Year Award, it was a beautifully-engineered car that bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features, and has the distinction of being the first passenger vehicle to have its seat belts integrated into the seats themselves. The specification also included independent suspension all round (double wishbone at the front/five link system at the rear), adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, integral roll-over bar and front air bags. The model was replaced by the R230 in 2001 after 213,089 examples had been built. In summary:Always garaged and lightly used since acquired in August 2022Specification includes both hard and soft tops.Comes complete with a full year’s MOT ‘

Registration - H673 ACAChassis - WV2ZZZ25ZLH092115M.O.T. - November 2023Odometer - 124,762This purposeful-looking mid-blue right-hand-drive ‘Camping’ version of Volkswagen’s ubiquitous Transporter offers cosy accommodation for two, plus related cooking and storage facilities. At some point in its history ‘H673 ACA’ has been fitted with a torquey 1915cc four-cylinder Volkswagen diesel engine in place of the original petrol unit, and it rides on an attractive set of nine-spoke alloy wheels rather than the more common steel offerings. The interior features wood-effect kitchen and storage cupboards, a bottled gas two-ring hob with grill and a stainless-steel sink and drainer. The Clarion sound system is suitably in period, with related speakers mounted in the bed base. A 12-volt Zig Marque 1 distribution control manages power to the water pump, lights and electric sockets. The exterior paintwork is generally good, and the vehicle’s history records some repairs to the suspension and wheel bearings. The vendor currently regards the engine, five-speed manual transmission, and interior trim as ‘excellent’, and the bodywork and electrics as ‘good’. The VeeDub comes complete with tow pack, some history and a current MOT valid into November, and is now ready to transport a new keeper on adventures of his or her choice. The Volkswagen Transporter name represents a series of vans that’s been in production for more than 70 years. Now in its seventh generation, and with more than 12 million examples sold globally, the Transporter is the best-selling such vehicle in history. Variants include pick-ups, minibuses, minivans and – most famously – campervans, with the latter having established a cult following that remains as enduring as ever. T1, the first-generation Transporter, was launched in 1950 and derived from the Volkswagen Beetle. T2 was produced from 1967 to ’79, and T3 from 1979 to 1991 - though some production continued in South Africa until 2002. In the UK the T3 Transporter was better known as the T25, and as the VW Vanagon in the United States. The T3 was heavier and slightly larger than its predecessor, with angular styling replacing the familiar curves of the earlier T1 and T2 models. In summary:A classic third-generation example of VW’s famous campervanCheerful interior trim provides cosy accommodation for twoA six-keeper example, currently indicating 126,119 total miles

Registration- JHX 305KChassis No - BB.ECMR17362M.O.T. - September 2024Odometer - 83,000 Here we have a totally unmolested example of one of the early fast Fords – an exciting car in period and a rare and sought-after model today. The GT’s pleasing blue bodywork is teamed with matching blue upholstery, the effect of which is accentuated by the sale car’s black Everflex roof, rear screen slats, mud flaps, white side stripes, period-style number plates and pair of auxiliary driving lights. We understand the Ford’s engine oil and spark plugs have been changed within the last six months, and the vendor presently grades the upholstery as ‘good’ and the V6 engine, manual transmission, hatchback bodywork and paintwork as ‘average’. The GT is now being sold complete with Auna sound system and a full A4 file of paperwork, which includes a current MOT that’s valid for a full 12 months. Ford’s Capri was launched at the 1969 Brussels Motor Show. The fastback coupe was intended to do for Europe what the Mustang had done for the USA – ie it was our ‘pony’ car, and would have been called Colt had Mitsubishi not bagged the name first. The monocoque body featured independent front suspension by MacPherson struts and a live axle with leaf springs at the rear. Braking was by discs/drums and the steering by rack and pinion. The newcomer was offered with a generous choice of engines. Initially these comprised the four-cylinder Kent unit in 1300 and 1600cc forms, plus the 2000cc V4 Essex unit (examples of which are now very rare). By September a version powered by the 136bhp, 3000cc V6 Essex unit had been added to the line-up. Gearboxes, like the engines, tended to be common to the Cortina and were slick four-speed manual units for the smaller-engined cars, with the option of a three-speed automatic with the bigger engines. True to type, Ford also offered the Capri in numerous levels of trim/specification – GT, E, L, X, XL, GXL, XLR etc. In summary:A rare and completely unmolested example of the MKI CapriJust seven keepers and an indicated 83,923 miles from newComes complete with large history file and 12 months MOT

Registration - GDW565WChassis - GCATWM010920M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 9.512 Here we have a very smartly presented MKII RS2000 Custom that’s finished in the discreetly attractive combination of Nordic Blue bodywork and light beige interior trim. It was apparently stored for 10 years by the previous owner and has travelled a mere 200 miles in the last 14. However, it has been the subject of much attention, including a full engine and gearbox rebuild four years ago by Burton Power, during which the motor was fitted with a brand-new pair of Weber carburettors. Among the many other items replaced are: the brake system, front and rear dampers, and the upholstery which was installed by Aldridge Trimming of Wolverhampton. Additions to the standard specification include power-assisted steering by Burton Power and a Pandora Elite alarm system. The vendor currently classes the Pinto engine, five-speed manual gearbox and upholstery as ‘excellent’, and the two-door bodywork and paintwork as ‘good’. He is now offering the fast Ford complete with: upgraded sound system, jack, spare wheel, and a history file containing old MOTs, plus invoices and photos in support of the work carried out. Ford’s long awaited MKII RS2000 was launched at the 1975 Earls Court show. Based on the two-door saloon, it was the most luxurious of the sporting Escorts of the time, and was powered by an uprated version of the 2.0-litre SOHC Pinto unit employed in the Capri, Cortina and Granada – a four-into-two exhaust manifold coupled to a big bore exhaust system raising its output to 110bhp. This was sufficient to help sprint the Escort to 60mph in 8.5 secs and on to a top speed of almost 110mph. The foam-filled plastic snout and flexible rear spoiler were said to give a significant reduction in drag. The custom version offered from late 1978 onwards featured the following: fishnet headrests on Recaro seats, full door cards, clock, centre console, 6Jx13in RS alloy wheels, boot carpet, remote-control driver’s door mirror, black rear body panel. In summary:A handsome six-keeper example that’s driven 200 miles in 14 yearsEngine, transmission, brakes and interior all recently rebuiltComes complete with power steering and aftermarket alarm system

Registration - YSJ 491Chassis No. - BB31.3534M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 9,601The vendor bought this B31 from a friend in 1999. It was in pieces at the time and he’s since restored it to the current condition. The gearbox was completely rebuilt by a specialist, as were the front forks. The rear suspension units have also been fully overhauled, the frame powder-coated and all the nuts and bolts replaced with stainless steel items purchased from BSA dealer Lightning Spares of Sale. The vendor volunteers that the primary drive, which was the subject of an older restoration, would now benefit from some attention, and that the whole machine deserves a degree of recommissioning. In summary he presently rates the frame, suspension and red paintwork as ‘excellent’, the cycle parts as ‘good’, and the single-cylinder 350cc engine, four-speed gearbox and brightwork as ‘average’. ‘YSJ 491’ comes complete with a selection of spares and a modest history file containing its original BSA service sheets, photographs etc. Based on pre-war designs, BSA’s B31 was the company’s first offering following the cessation of hostilities. It was powered by a single-cylinder four-stroke engine of 350cc and c.17bhp. Swinging arm rear suspension was introduced in 1954 and the model continued in production until 1959.

Registration - RB07 SCOChassis - JF1GDFKH37G069764M.O.T. - December 2023Odometer - 30,500 In 2007 Subaru UK importers IM Group paid tribute to the late 2001 World Rally Champion Richard Burns by collaborating with Prodrive to develop the RB320, a special limited-edition of the all-wheel-drive Impreza WRX STI. The ‘320’ not only referred to the 320bhp the car’s Prodrive-tuned flat-four 2457cc turbocharged engine produced at 6000rpm, but also the number of examples of the model that were created, of which the appropriately-registered ‘RB07 SCO’ is one. RB320s were readily identified by their Obsidian Black Pearl paintwork, bespoke 18” dark anthracite alloy wheels, special-design stainless steel mesh grilles, unique front lip spoiler and Day-Glo orange ‘RB’ external badging, which echoed the colour of Richard Burns’ crash helmet. In addition to the Prodrive-tuned engine, the RB320 benefited from special Prodrive suspension featuring Bilstein dampers, Eibach springs, adjustable Eibach rear anti-roll bar and lower ride height. It also boasted a six-speed quick shift manual gearbox, RB-branded gearknob and mats, black and blue suede effect interior trim, and Prodrive-branded chrome exhaust muffler and, when accelerated flat out, could achieve the 0-60mph sprint in just 4.8 seconds. In road tests, Evo magazine commented ‘Uncorked on a great British B-road the 320 absolutely flies’, while Autocar described the RB320 as ‘Definitely the best current-model Scooby we've seen; Burns would have loved it.’ ‘RB07 SCO’ is an extremely well-presented example of this most desirable of Imprezas, and comes complete with service history and current MOT valid to December 8, plus an MOT-backed total mileage of just 30,480. It is now champing at the bit to hit the road or trackday circuit in the hands of a new owner. Now in its sixth generation, the Impreza has been a staple of the Subaru range since 1992. The WRX (World Rally eXperimental) versions were a performance derivative developed from the specification of the company’s works competition cars. Subaru’s success on the world rally stage (the Impreza WRC has won a total of six world rally titles) has long since made the cars a go-to option for performance drivers. In summary:A striking-looking and powerful limited-edition modelOne of just 320 produced in honour of the late Richard BurnsIndicated mileage of 30,480 is supported by the car’s history

It rides on quality Michelin Primacy tyres and currently displays a totally credible (though unwarranted) total mileage of just 53,624 courtesy of six keepers, the most recent of whom has retained the Nissan since January last year. He classes the well-presented interior as ‘excellent’, and the four-cylinder engine, five-speed manual transmission, two-door bodywork and metallic paintwork as ‘good’. He is now offering the car complete with Kenwood bluetooth stereo coupled to a boot-mounted Clarion CD autochanger, service history file, and a current MOT valid into July next year. Multiple generations of Nissan’s ‘Silvia’ series of compact sports cars were offered at home and abroad from 1965-1968 and 1975-2002. The S14 model that debuted in Japan towards the end of 1993 was marketed in Europe as the 200SX, and is the offering that concerns us here. A sporting two-door coupe, it was available between 1994 and 2000 with a 2.0-litre twin-cam engine in either normally-aspirated or turbo form, and with either five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. The attractive model was treated to a mild styling update during 1996, versions of which are known by the Nissan cognoscenti as the S14A – examples with the force-fed engine also benefited from improved turbochargers. The cars rode on five-spoke alloy wheels and featured a prominent boot spoiler.

The Jota was arguably the world’s fastest production motorcycle of the 1970s, and while the manufacturer was Italian through and through, the Jota model was inspired by Brits Roger and Richard Slater of Slater Laverda Motorcycles, the official UK importer. The 180 tag relates to the three-cylinder bike’s 180-degree crankshaft, which endows the machine with its unique sound and monstrous levels of torque.

The pickup had just four owners from new, the first of which was a French family from whom the renowned Bugatti guru and race driver Ivan Dutton purchased it in 2014 in order to tow his competition car. It then passed into the hands of the equally well-known racer Martin Overington, who’s also the current owner of the Hotel de France, that’s inextricably linked with the great Aston Martin and Ford racing teams of yore, and the incomparable 24 Heures du Mans race – both men are listed on the Peugeot’s V5. The Peugeot is finished in a pleasing shade of Turkis Blue and trimmed in a mix of grey fabric and blue vinyl. The Pickup’s handy specification includes a good quality tilt that’s less than 10 years old, plus a tow hook and related electrics. Recent maintenance has involved an engine rebuild and replacement of the clutch and suspension bushes, plus a full lubrication service.

Registration - SLX 569Chassis - A1543700HC0M.O.T. - January 2024Odometer - 34,160 This delightful and ultra-rare (only five remain in the UK) Minx convertible is arguably deserving of its own feature film. Back in March 2019, rotten as a pear and stripped for spares following zero interest in it as complete project, it was three days away from an appointment with the crusher when the vendor came galloping over the hill on a white charger (we made that last bit up) and rescued it for the princely sum of £400. The first task was to source a pair of new rear wings and door shuts, as the originals were long gone. A trusty fabricator friend of the vendor then began the long road to recreating the shell, while another rebuilt the engine and gearbox, while yet another (Paddy from VC Classics of Doncaster) dealt with the Minx’s reassembly, respray in Rover Old English White, installation of new carpets etc. The painstaking rebuild was carried out to original specification with one obvious exception – due to a lack of hood and hood frame, the car was reconfigured as a roadster with tonneau; something that can easily be reversed for the cost of a bespoke hood, if and when required. ‘SLX 569’ started life in black and was first registered in Park Lane, London in March 1956. No more is known of its history until it was purchased by a Mr Scutter of Reading in 2001. It then languished on his farm until his death in 2017, at which point the rights passed to his son from whom it was rescued two years later. Unsurprisingly the vendor now considers the 1390cc four-cylinder engine, column-change four-speed transmission, bodywork, paintwork and cream upholstery to all be in ‘excellent’ condition. Only completed in January this year, this splendid phoenix of a Hillman is now ready for some lucky new owner to enjoy. It comes complete with a separate rebuilt gearbox (the one in the car is slightly noisy in first and reverse due to a chipped tooth), splendid two-tone tonneau cover, history file and a current MOT valid to January next year.

Registration - OKC10FChassis - 1225247M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 28,040 ‘OKC 10F’ is a fine, right-hand-drive example of a rare model - some 119,767 BMW 2000s were produced, but www.howmanyleft.co.uk estimates that there are now just 41 licensed in the UK, with a further 36 on SORN. The bill of sale for the example on offer shows that it cost £1,900 when purchased new from a BMW dealer in Liverpool in March 1968. It was then garaged for some years after the original owner fell ill before being restored by the second one, and then passing into long-term family ownership before eventually being acquired by the current keeper. He informs us that the two-tone burgundy and black faux leather interior trim is in ‘excellent’ condition, while all the mechanical parts have been overhauled, replaced or serviced by specialist BMW restorers – this includes the automatic gearbox, which has been rebuilt. He adds that the body and (original) silver paintwork are ‘showing signs of age but are still respectable’, while the BMW’s MOT history appears to support its notably low indicated mileage of 28,041. The 2000 was one of BMW’s ‘Neue Klasse’ (‘new class’) models, which are credited with reversing the marque’s fortunes between 1962 and 1972. The first of this line, the BMW 1500, was introduced in 1961 and went on sale the following year. The all-new car had an equally new engine – a combination BMW had not produced since 1933, when it did so with the 303. As well as the four-cylinder overhead camshaft M115 engine, the 1500 boasted independent suspension all-round with MacPherson struts up front – a first for BMW. The model also introduced the era of the ‘Sharknose’ BMW and was an immediate hit, with the company breaking even in its first year of production, after years of operating losses.

Registration - DNN 543Chassis - S1/E/152922M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 94,784 Morris 8s are rare visitors to the auctions these days, and it’s certainly a long time since we’ve seen one in this condition. It was first registered in July 1937 and decades later has been the subject of a comprehensive restoration that was started in the 1980s by a previous owner and recently completed by the vendor. The engine was apparently rebuilt at the outset but has covered very few miles since. Within the last two years the body was removed, the chassis treated to some minor welding, the car repainted in the more appealing combination of black over green, the interior completely retrimmed, and new tyres fitted all round. The work included an overhaul of the braking system, but the vendor is keen for us to point out that the rear shoes currently have a tendency to bind, while the front linings apparently need matching (spare linings are included in the lot). The car has been refurbished to original specification, the only exception being the very sensible addition of flashing indicators. A WW2 theme has been created by the addition of white bumpers, side stripes and headlight mask, but the latter two can apparently be readily removed if desired. The vendor presently classes the bodywork and upholstery as ‘good to excellent’ and the engine, gearbox and paintwork as ‘good’, and he is now selling ‘DNN 543’ complete with new six-volt battery, luggage rack, suitcase, period-correct jack, toolkit, tyre pump, oil can, a selection of genuine WW2 related items (suitable for re-enactments) and some spare parts, plus a history file containing receipts and photos covering the work carried out. The Series I Morris Eight was unveiled in 1935 as a rival to Ford’s hot-selling Model Y. It was better equipped than most of its competitors and boasted electric wipers, synchromesh on its upper two gearbox ratios and Lockheed hydraulic brakes. The model was powered by a 918cc side-valve engine of 23.5bhp and ultimately produced in no less than five guises – ie two and four-door saloon, cabriolet, tourer and van. A total of 164,102 Series Is were produced all told.

It is finished in the pleasing combination of Interlagos Blue bodywork, black hood and black Nappa leather interior trim, and rides on Michelin shod, recently refurbished period-correct alloy wheels. The vendor informs us that the roadster has been ‘fastidiously maintained regardless of cost’, and presently regards the straight-six engine, six-speed manual transmission and convertible bodywork as all being in ‘excellent’ order, and the paintwork and upholstery as ‘good’. This lovely all-weather two-seater will apparently be the subject of a main dealer service and MOT prior to the sale, and will then be available to purchase complete with indoor and outdoor covers, full main dealer service history, the original owner’s book pack, and an assortment of paperwork. The first generation Z4 was penned by BMW’s Danish in-house designer Anders Warming and in production from mid-2002 to the end of 2008. As with its predecessor, the Z3, it was made available in roadster and coupe guises powered by engines ranging from 2.0 to 3.2 litres. It also echoed the Z3 in being solely manufactured in BMW’s Spartanburg plant in Greer, South Carolina. Being BMW, there was, of course bound to be an M version sooner or later, and this became available during 2006. The chosen powerplant was the S54 straight-six unit already found in the E46 M3, the output of which was a pretty handy 343bhp – sufficient in fact to propel the sporty newcomer from rest to 60mph in around 4.8 seconds. Other features that distinguished the Z4M from the standard offering included: a wider front track, revised front suspension and wider non-runflat tyres all-round; not to mention the uprated steering, brakes and rear axle also sourced from the M3 parts bin. In summary:A two-owner, 46,500-mile example with full service historyWill come freshly serviced and with 12 months’ MOT‘Fastidiously maintained regardless of cost’

In short, if you are seeking an economical university runabout for your son or daughter, then ‘R994 BWT’ could well fit the bill perfectly. Its red three-door hatchback bodywork is teamed with Ascot grey/fawn cloth interior trim that’s in unmarked condition. The Rover is powered by an 1120cc version of the K Series engine, drives through a five-speed manual gearbox, and rides on steel wheels shod in quality BFGoodrich tyres. It has had a total of seven keepers to date, and was acquired by the current one a year ago. He says the car ‘runs and drives superbly’ and presently grades the four-cylinder engine, transmission and upholstery as ‘excellent’ and the bodywork and paintwork as ‘good’, and is now selling the car complete with new fuel pump, Philips radio/cassette and history that supports the ultra-low indicated mileage. The Rover 100 was the final iteration of what started life as the Austin Mini Metro. That model first saw the light of day in 1980 and was intended as a larger alternative to the classic Mini, which was now 21 years old. Some of the Mini’s proven underpinnings were carried over; not least its sub-frame mounted 998 and 1275cc engines that drove the front wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox. The suspension was a version of the Allegro’s Hydragas system. The newcomer was initially just sold in three-door Hatchback form, but the packaging was good, accommodation deceptive and the ride and handling much lauded, and the model became a big seller, with a million finding homes within the first 10 years of production. By May 1990, the Austin had been heavily revised and morphed into the Rover Metro, complete with a new range ofK Series engines, and by December 1994 even the Metro moniker itself had been consigned to history and the car renamed the Rover 100.

It has had a total of just seven keepers to date, the most recent of whom has retained the car since July 2017. It was apparently serviced last month, and other recent maintenance has included: refurbishment of the engine’s VANOS system; replacement of the cam cover gasket; the installation of a new Milltek exhaust system; new front brake discs and pads and fresh rear calipers and pads; refurbishment of the Fulda-shod wheels. The vendor presently grades the six-speed manual transmission as ‘excellent’, the six-cylinder engine, two-door bodywork and upholstery as ‘good’, and the paintwork as ‘average’. He is now offering the BMW complete with: engine strut brace; sunroof, Sony CD player and 10-stack autochanger; spare wheel and tyre; full tool kit; first aid kit; and a pair of A4 folders covering the car’s history, plus a current MOT valid into July of next year. The odometer presently registers c.109,000 miles The third generation of BMW’s all-conquering 3 Series model (code name E36) was launched to much acclaim in October 1990. It was penned by Pinky Lai and Boyke Boyer who, as its silhouette suggests, were intent on optimising the newcomer’s aerodynamics. The model was ultimately produced in saloon, hatchback, coupe, convertible and estate guises, and with a choice of engines ranging from 1.6 to 3.2 litres. The M3 variant was offered from 1992 to 1999, the desirable Evolution development of which was launched at the 1995 Frankfurt Salon and featured a larger 3.2-litre engine of advanced specification, that was coupled to a six-speed Getrag gearbox. The E36 range was supplanted by the E46 in the year 2000.

The vendor is a BMW enthusiast and BMW Club member in whose care ‘J767 WFF’ has been for the last 24 years. He informs us that on his watch it has always been garaged, regularly serviced by BMW dealers and treated to regular visits to car shows etc. He regards the condition of the interior to be ‘outstanding, with carpets that look as-new’, and presently grades the V12 engine and automatic transmission as ‘excellent’, the paintwork as ‘good’ and the coupe bodywork as ‘average to good’. He is now offering the five-owner BMW complete with factory-fitted sunroof and audio system (including boot-mounted CD autochanger), full set of tools, spare wheel/tyre, service records, selection of invoices, book on the 850i model and a current MOT valid into November. The odometer currently stands a totally credible 83,344 miles. A relatively rare sight on British roads, the Klaus Kapitza-penned 8 Series BMW (chassis code E31) was introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show of 1989. Though it effectively supplanted the venerable 6 Series (E24), it was in fact conceived as an additional model line and, with more performance and a higher price tag, was aimed further upmarket. During its 10-year reign, the four-seat 8 Series was available in 830i, 840i and 850i form, though by far the biggest seller was the 4,988cc, 296bhp 850i that was manufactured from 1989-94, of which over 20,000 were produced. The V12 engine was mated to either a 6-speed manual gearbox or 4-speed automatic unit. The fully independent suspension featured struts at the front and coil springs on the rear. Steering was by ball and nut and braking was by discs all round – vented at the front; solid at the rear. Despite a considerable unladen weight of 1790kg, the performance of the 850i was brisk, with the top speed electronically limited to 155mph and the 0-62mph dash accomplished in 6.8 seconds.

The body is freshly painted in the same Almond Green colour it bore when it left the factory, while the new light green and grey interior trim is also to original specification, and the Mini rides on period-correct 10” cream-painted steel wheels shod in Falken Sincera SN-807 tyres. A nice, and rare touch are the two wicker baskets housed under the rear seat – a little-known option back in the day. The vendor describes all aspects of the newly-restored car as ‘excellent’ and informs us that ‘305 NYA’ has been in the same family ownership for 20 years – not the more usual father-to-son story, however, but son-to-father! The enthusiast pair – the fifth and sixth keepers - have compiled two ‘huge’ history folders’. The Heritage Certificate shows that the matching-numbers vehicle rolled off the Longbridge production line on September 13, 1961, and was despatched to Taunton Motor Company in Somerset two days later (the dealer plate is still displayed on the driver’s door sill). It was then issued with registration ‘305 NYA’ on October 27. Sensitively restored and very well presented complete with 12 months’ worth of MOT, this charming little motorcar should provide its next owner with many years of fun motoring. The classic Mini needs little introduction. BMC’s compact, two-door, four-seater may have first gone on sale in August 1959 but is inextricably linked to the Swinging Sixties. Designer Alec Issigonis maximised the space available for passengers and luggage by mounting the 850cc A Series engine transversely and driving the front wheels, making it a far more practical proposition than its diminutive proportions initially suggest. The model was first marketed as the Austin Seven and Morris Mini-Minor, with the Austin Seven being renamed the Austin Mini in January 1962, and the Mini marque itself coming into being in 1969. In summary:A newly-restored, matching numbers, floor-start exampleSame family ownership for the past 20 years; six keepers in totalJust 100 miles covered since completion of the restoration

What started life as an unassuming blue 3.0S is now an immaculate white specimen sporting beefy X-pack arches that shield wide-rim RS wheels shod with 225/50 R15 Yokohama tyres. Inside, the rear seat has been removed and a full FIA Safety Devices roll cage installed along with bucket seats, Securon harnesses, carbonfibre door cards and many other mods aimed at fast road or on-track driving. The engine has apparently recently been rebuilt and, although we’re not party to the full specification, a quick peek under the bonnet reveals a trio of carburettors – a sturdy strut brace is also evident. The vendor presently regards the V6 engine, five-speed manual transmission, modified bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as all being in ‘excellent’ order. The Capri is now on offer complete with lots of receipts and old MOTS that evidently support the indicated mileage of 91,421, plus a current MOT valid for the next 12 months. Ford’s Capri was launched at the 1969 Brussels Salon. The fastback coupe was intended to do for Europe what the Mustang had done for the USA. The newcomer was initially offered with a generous choice of four-cylinder engines, but by September they’d been joined by the 136bhp, 3-litre V6 Essex unit. Worthwhile improvements to the model came with the MKII versions of 1974 and the quadruple headlamp MKIII cars introduced in 1978. The 3.0S version was immortalised in the TV Series ‘The Professionals’ and a pair of cars from that show recently fetched £93,375 each!

It’s a 1991 940 GLE that’s finished in a pleasing shade of metallic blue and trimmed in blue fabric. Despite travelling 75,089 warranted miles, it looks as though its seats have barely been sat on and its boot never been pressed into service. In fact, the Volvo’s had four keepers to date but, while the vendor has only had the car for a year or so, it had previously remained in the same ownership for 30 years, during which it was always garaged and, it would seem, fastidiously maintained. For example, it is accompanied by every MOT it’s been issued with from new, as well as a notebook in which is chronicled every item of work carried out, including when tyres were replaced etc. We understand a full engine service, including the replacement of the cambelt, was carried out a mere 89 miles ago, at a not insignificant cost of £2,158.08. The vendor now has no hesitation in declaring the four-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, four-door bodywork, paintwork and upholstery as all being in ‘excellent’ order, and is offering this apparently excellent motorcar at No Reserve and complete with factory-fitted sunroof and audio system, tow hook, Haynes manual, first aid kit, the aforementioned paperwork and old MOTs, plus a current certificate valid to April 3, 2024. Volvo’s 700 series range of executive saloons and estate cars was produced from 1982 to 1992, during which time no less than 1,430,000 examples were manufactured. Though slightly less luxurious than the 760, the 740 is nevertheless a well-appointed executive offering that could be chosen with any one of a number of engines, from a normally aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder one to the top of the range 2.3-litre turbo unit.

The ‘G Force’ name stemmed from the unusual paint scheme commissioned for it by its then owner, Barry Sturges, that included a bonnet mural depicting people in a spaceship. It was this that gave this well-known muscle car its nickname, that’s still remembered today by Mustang enthusiasts, even though the mural has long since been painted over. Sturges was a keen amateur drag racer, and is said to have achieved a mid-14s run in ‘G Force’. The car has been in the vendor’s hands for the last three years, and was last serviced three months ago. He currently grades the 428ci (7-litre) engine and three-speed automatic transmission as ‘good’, and the bodywork, white paintwork and black interior trim as ‘average’. This iconic Mustang is now offered for sale complete with a fresh MOT and a large file of paperwork. A slice of UK-inspired Mustang history. Launched in 1969, the Ford Mustang Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet was one of the fastest cars to carry the Mustang name in period. The key to its speed was the 428ci (7-Litre) Ford Cobra Jet FE V8 engine that nestled under its vast bonnet – its output was 335bhp and a stump-pulling 440 lb ft of torque.

According to VDI Check it was originally finished in blue and repainted in its current red livery in 2015. This is paired to a navy blue interior trimmed in a pleasing mix of leather and striped Alcantara, and the S2 rides on its original set of alloy wheels. The last keeper retained the Porsche for eight years and we understand its steering rack, cam belt, water pump and mass air flow sensor have all been replaced in recent times. The vendor presently classes the V8 engine as ‘excellent’ and the four-speed automatic transmission, coupe bodywork, paintwork and upholstery as ‘good’. ‘D928 HUA’ is now on offered complete with a spare set of 17-inch 911 alloy wheels and almost new tyres, model-related cherished registration number, pair of keys, the original owner’s book pack, a degree of service history and selection of bills and receipts, plus a current MOT valid for the next 11 months. Styled by American Tony Lapine, Porsche’s front-engined, water-cooled, V8-powered 2+2 928 was launched at the 1977 Geneva Salon. Not only was it about as mechanically different to the ubiquitous 911 as it could possibly be, but represented the company’s first foray into grand touring territory. Nevertheless, it received a rapturous reception from the press and was duly awarded the 1978 Car of The Year Award. Production continued until 1995, by which time some 61,000 examples had been made. At launch, the all-alloy engine was 4,474cc in capacity and produced some 240bhp. The S derivative introduced in 1979 featured an enlarged unit of 4,664cc and a commensurate increase in performance – the 0-60mph dash was now possible in 6.2 seconds and the top speed electronically limited to 155mph. The S2 version introduced in 1983 saw power further boosted to 310bhp and a welcome increase in equipment levels.

It has been well looked after though, having been dry stored in a heated garage following the draining of the fuel tank and 2 stroke oil. In preparation of its sale, the engine oil has been renewed and a fresh Yuasa battery installed. ‘HHW 218G’ certainly looks the part with blue paintwork complementing the black of the frame.

It created models in a range of capacities, including four versions of the 100cc one – the TMX, Trail, Sport and GP; the latter of which had a rotary gearbox that allowed racers to change direct from top to first gear. However, the company ceased all motorbike manufacture in 1970 under pressure from Japan’s mainstream manufacturers, who threatened to cease purchase of Bridgestone’s tyres if the company continued making motorcycles as well.

It has recently been treated to a new hood and nowadays rides on a set of premium Pirelli P Zero tyres. The vendor, the Porsche’s sixth keeper, inform us that while in his care it ‘has always been dry stored and well maintained, runs and drives superbly, and could happily be employed as a daily driver’. He presently grades the flat-six engine, transmission and convertible bodywork as ‘excellent’, the black leather trim as ‘good to excellent’, and the silver paintwork as ‘good’. ‘RL02 HJD’ is now being sold complete with a full service history (including the stamps of a number of Porsche specialists), a pair of keys, an assortment of invoices, and a current MOT valid to December 4. The chic two-door, two-seat Boxster was introduced alongside the evergreen 911 in 1996. Being of mid- rather than rear-engined configuration it actually exhibited superior handling and roadholding to the seemingly immortal 911, winning immediate acclaim from the media and customers alike. It was also the first road-going Porsche since the 550 Spyder to be designed from scratch as a roadster, having been penned that way by Dutch designer Harm Lagaay, who was also primarily responsible for the 968, 993, Cayenne, 996 and Carrera GT. The Boxster sobriquet was a contraction of ‘boxer-engined roadster’ – the newcomer being a convertible with water-cooled flat-six engine. At launch the powerplant was 2.5-litres in capacity, but the standard offering was increased to 2.7-litres in 2000, coincident with the introduction of the higher performance 3.2-litre S. Suspension was independent all round by MacPherson struts and coil springs, braking by power-assisted ventilated discs, and steering by rack and pinion. With 225bhp on tap the 2.7-litre version was capable of sprinting to 60mph in only a little over six seconds and on to a top speed of almost 160mph.

He is now offering this eye-catching SL complete with tracker, cherished registration (‘J900 SNO’), a pair of keys and partial service history, plus a comprehensive file of old MOTs, invoices etc. The landmark 300 of 1954 and the ensuing 190 comprised the first generation of Mercedes-Benz’s iconic SL models. The much-loved second generation (W113) began with the 230 of 1963 and was distinguished by a distinctive optional hardtop that earned the model its nickname of ‘Pagoda top’. The apparently everlasting, larger, third model (R107) was followed by the R129 Series. Launched at the Geneva Salon of 1989, it was based on a shortened version of the W124 floorpan and bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features. Next up was the R230 Series that was in production from 2001 to 2011 with a range of engines from a 3.7-litre 245bhp V6 to a thumping 6-litre V12 of no less than 604bhp, and most notable for its retractable hardtop and active body control.

This attractive MK1 version matches Poseidon Blue paintwork to multi-coloured cloth interior trim. Its relatively modest indicated mileage of 65,507 is supported by its MOT record and stems from the Citroën having been dry stored for the past 10 years and travelled only 13,221 miles in the last 17. The vendor currently classes its four-cylinder engine, five-speed manual gearbox and paintwork as ‘excellent’ and the three-door bodywork and upholstery as ‘good’. He is now selling the Saxo without Reserve and complete with glass sunroof, Wharfdale audio unit and Dimma locking fuel cap. Launched in 1996, the Saxo was Citroën’s replacement for the successful AX, and was certainly a step forward in terms of design. The frontwheel drive newcomer was offered with a choice of no less than four petrol engines varying in capacity from 954 to 1587cc, and one diesel unit of 1527cc. There were two sporting options among the range – VTR and VTS. The MK1 VTR (1997-1999) was powered by a fuel-injected eight-valve version of the company’s four-cylinder 1587cc powerplant, the output of which was 90bhp. Thanks to a lightweight bodyshell, this was sufficient to sprint the three-door hatchback to 60mph in under 10 seconds and on to a top speed of c.116mph. Suspension was by coil springs up front and torsion bars at the rear, and braking by discs all-round, ventilated at the front. The bodykit that distinguished the VTR from the more junior members of the line-up was shared with the top of the range VTS model.

When launched in 1989 the first generation LS 400 was designed to serve as the flagship model for the Lexus brand – the luxury division of Toyota. It was a relatively conventional saloon with a V8 engine mounted up front and driving the rear wheels. It was generally well received, however, and remained in production until usurped by the second generation version four years later. The engineers had worked hard in the intervening years and the newcomer, though very similar in looks, was an improvement in many ways and featured a longer wheelbase, strengthened body structure, an updated suspension system, improved braking and increased sound insulation. There was also a reduction in weight which led to a modest gain in fuel economy, while the performance of the 3968cc V8 engine had risen slightly to 260bhp – sufficient to allow the big Lexus to sprint from rest to 60mph in around 7 seconds when required. In summary:A well-presented 105,079-mile exampleThe subject of ongoing maintenance in the current ownershipComes with current MOT and is being sold at No Reserve

Registration - A423 MDYChassis - C66500M.O.T. - June 2024Odometer - 55,400 This eye-catching Morgan is accompanied by a substantial history file of invoices and photographs documenting the extensive body-off restoration to which it was treated in 2019/2020. The 1597cc, four-cylinder Ford CVH engine was completely stripped and rebored; the cylinder head skimmed; the crankshaft overhauled with new bearings; the timing belt, water pump and oil pump replaced; the carburettor overhauled, and a Piper fast road camshaft and new pistons rings, alternator and coil installed. The Ford Type 9 manual five-speed gearbox with long 1st gear was overhauled by specialists Leek Transmission, and a new brake master cylinder, pipes and calipers fitted, along with uprated dampers and springs and a new wiring loom. The body received new door posts and a fresh pair of steel front wings prior to undergoing a full professional bare-metal respray in British Racing Green. To complete the picture, the interior was retrimmed in green-piped cream leather. In total, more than £10,000 was spent on bringing the car up to ‘excellent’ condition throughout, while the wood of dashboard, Moto-Lita steering wheel and gear-knob help retain the period feel that typifies the 4/4. The odometer presently indicates a credible though unwarranted total mileage of 55,397, while MOT records confirm that this very tidy Morgan has covered fewer than 1,000 miles since 2007. Launched in 1936, the 4/4 was the first four-wheeled vehicle Morgan produced, with the 4/4 name indicating four wheels and four cylinders. Production was halted briefly during WWII and from March 1951 to September 1955, other than that it ran continuously until 2018, making the model the world’s longest-running production vehicle. This nimble sports car originally featured a 1122cc Coventry Climax engine, while the Series II 4/4 introduced in 1955 featured a Morgan Plus 4 chassis and 1172cc side-valve engine. Various incarnations followed, leading to the launch of the 4/4 1600 in 1968, to which the 1597cc Ford CVH engine was fitted from March 1982 to November 1991, during which time 1,652 4/4s like the one now offered were built. In summary:A handsome example of the quintessential British sports carThe subject of a well-documented restoration in 2019/2020Subtly modified with fast road camshaft and uprated suspension

Registration - G262 JUHChassis No - SFABXXBAFBLL79780M.O.T. - April 2024Odometer - 30,000 The black bodywork of this tidy-looking XR2i is teamed with patterned grey cloth interior trim and rides on period correct alloy wheels shod with Nankang tyres. It is an eight-keeper example that is currently registering a very modest total mileage of 30,190 (unwarrented), that appears to be supported by its partial MOT history. The vendor informs us that the Ford has just been treated to a service but volunteers there is a slight misfire and some evidence of both oil and coolant leaks. Overall he rates the hot hatch’s bodywork as and paintwork as ‘good’, the five-speed manual transmission and upholstery as ‘average’, and the CVH engine as ‘below average’. The car is now being sold complete with glass sunroof, Pioneer radio/cassette player and a current MOT certificate valid to April 24. After developing through no less than seven generations, Ford’s incredibly successful Fiesta was finally discontinued in June of this year, much to the disappointment of its legions of fans the world over. No less than 22 million examples were sold during the model’s astonishing 47-year reign, 4.8 million of which found homes in the UK, where it was the top selling model for 12 consecutive years (2009-2020) and the country’s best-selling car of all time. From frugal family car to winner of international rallies, Ford’s famous baby has ticked countless boxes in its reign and leaves a very large automotive hole behind it. The XR2i model we’re concerned with here, was a performance version of the MKIII Fiesta that was launched in 1989. It was powered by Fords 1600cc eight-valve OHC CVH engine of 108bhp – sufficient output to accelerate the three-door hatchback to 60mph in around 9 seconds and on to a terminal speed of c.118mph. In summary:An eight-keeper example displaying just 30,190 miles from newJust serviced, and MOT’d to April 24 next yearEquipped with factory sunroof and Pioneer stereo system

Registration - 815 YUKChassis No. - AN5-L/39237M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 6,763 This bonnie specimen was imported from America and first UK registered in March 2012, since when it has had just the one registered owner - ie the late father of the vendor, who we gather lavished a considerable level of time and money on the car. It apparently started life in yellow, but is now resplendent in dark blue, that’s matched to blue interior trim, an (as yet unused) red hood, and silver-painted wire wheels. The vendor informs us that the Frogeye was campaigned in speed hillclimbs while in the US, hence the conversion to knock-off wheels and what is thought to be a 1275 rather than the original 948cc A Series engine. He confirms that while in his father’s tenure the car was always garaged and well maintained, and he currently regards the powerplant, four-speed manual transmission, bodywork, paintwork and upholstery as all being in ‘good’ order. He volunteers that the twin SU carburettors would now benefit form a tune-up, but otherwise reckons the Sprite is good to go, and is selling it complete with a brand new battery, tonneau cover, Moto-Lita woodrim steering wheel and history file. Thanks to its prominent, bonnet-mounted headlights, the original Sprite quickly became known as the ‘Frogeye’ - a moniker that has stuck to this day. The little two-seater, designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company and built by BMC at the MG factory in Abingdon, was launched in Monte Carlo immediately prior to the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix. The unique, one-piece bonnet covered a mildly tuned, 43bhp 948cc version of the BMC A series engine already found in the Austin A35 and Morris Minor. The suspension was by coil springs and wishbones at the front and quarter elliptic springs at the rear, with lever arm dampers all round. The construction was ‘integrated’ rather than a full monocoque and featured forward projecting chassis legs of the type used in the E-Type Jaguar. The minimal specification excluded exterior door handles and boot lid. Some 49,000 Frogeyes were built between 1958 and 1961. In summary:One caring UK owner since being imported from the USA in 2012Features wire wheels and Moto-Lita woodrim steering wheelEquipped with an as yet unused red hood and new battery

Registration - G701 HUGChassis No - WF0FXXGBBFKJ11557M.O.T. - May 2023Odometer - 88,055 The white bodywork of ‘G701 HUG’ is matched to grey cloth interior trim, while the Sapphire rides on its original set of silver-painted RS Cosworth lattice-patterned alloy wheels that are nowadays shod with quality Bridgestone Potenza tyres all-round. It is a rear-wheel drive example that returned to the UK a year ago following a 12-year sojourn in the car-friendly climate of Spain. While there, it formed part of a private collection and was housed in an underground garage, thereby avoiding the dashboard damage that so often afflicts these cars when permanently at the mercy of the Mediterranean sun. The vendor informs us that there are no visible signs of corrosion, and he presently considers the turbo engine, five-speed manual gearbox, bodywork, paintwork and upholstery to all be in ‘good’ order. He is now selling this desirable fast Ford complete with a-31 wastegate actuator, stainless steel exhaust system, its original airbox, glass sunroof, Panasonic CD/radio player coupled to a Pioneer multi-changer, and 12 months’ worth of MOT. The odometer currently registers an unwarranted but totally credible 88,055 miles. Released in the September of 1982, the Ford Sierra was a replacement for the ubiquitous Cortina and its German sibling, the Taunus. Always quick to support the performance and motorsport markets, Ford introduced the be-winged XR4i version in 1983. This was followed by the XR 4x4 in 1985, the Sierra RS Cosworth in 1986, the Sierra RS500 Cosworth in 1987, the Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth in 1988 and the Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth 4x4 in 1990. Thanks to cleaner aerodynamics, the Sapphire’s drag coefficient of 0.33 was superior to that of the original three-door cars, allowing marginally superior performance figures of 0-60mph in 6.1 seconds and a top speed of 150mph. Some 13,140 examples were built at Genk, Belgium over the model’s short two-year reign – 1988-1990. In summary:A well-presented two-wheel drive exampleRecently returned from a 12-year sojourn in sunny SpainFitted with a -31 wastegate actuator and stainless steel exhaust

Registration - H612 OCCChassis - ZFFSA17S000088920M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 38,968 km (24,213 Miles) ‘H612 OCC’ has had just the one keeper since this handsome lefthand drive Testarossa was imported to the UK from Switzerland in 2017. During his tenure it has covered only 3,000 miles and benefited from the replacement of the engine belts and clutch and the fitment of a fresh set of Pirelli P Zero tyres all-round, while the last oil service was carried out by the vendor as recently as this year. Once finished in metallic grey, it is these days presented in Rosso Corsa that’s perfectly complemented by Crema hide interior trim. The odometer presently displays a very credible though unwarranted total mileage to date of 38,965 kilometres (24,212 miles) and this desirable Prancing Horse is presently considered by the vendor to have a ‘good’ 12-cylinder engine, five-speed manual gearbox, two-door bodywork, paintwork and upholstery. It is now offered complete with some UK service history, plus a current MOT valid to April 4 next year. Ferrari’s mid-engined, flat-12 Testarossa was unveiled to an expectant media at the Champs-Elysée’s Lido nightclub on the eve of the 1984 Paris Salon. Though an evolution of the 512BBi, it had a markedly different appearance. In order not to recreate the high cabin temperatures of its predecessor, the Testarossa featured a pair of rear-mounted radiators. This called for large, slatted intake ducts leading from the doors and rear quarter panels, and it was these that gave the newcomer both its distinctive looks and considerable girth. The model was also longer and higher, resulting in more passenger and luggage accommodation. The Testarossa name (Italian for ‘red head’) was an echo of Ferrari’s immortal Testa Rossa sports racing cars of the 1950s and the engine’s cam covers were painted red, as before. The five-litre Colombo-designed unit was very similar to that of the 512BBi, but featured four-valves per cylinder. Together with other improvements, this resulted in a healthy output of 390bhp – sufficient to power the sleek new Prancing Horse to 60mph in just over five seconds and on to a top speed of some 180mph. In summary:A well-presented lefthand drive example imported from SwitzerlandJust 3,000 miles covered since arriving in the UK in 2017Recently fitted with new engine belts, clutch and tyres all-round

Registration - VEL 632SChassis No - 14016M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 13,828 Examples of the Bertone-penned GT4 are a relatively rare sight at auction these days and, if this pretty 1978 example is anything to go by, it’s because their keepers have been hanging on to them – ‘VEL 632S’ has remained within the same ownership for no less than 28 years. A genuine righthand drive UK market example, it was apparently originally finished in yellow, but these days presents in the classic hue of Rosso Corsa that’s matched to Sand hide interior trim. We understand that the Prancing Horse has been dry stored for the last four years or so, prior to which it was treated to a service and a fresh set of engine belts. Along the way it has also been equipped with a pair of stainless-steel exhaust manifolds. The car is accompanied by every MOT carried out from 2006, documentation that gives credence to the notably low indicated total mileage of just 13,828. The vendor volunteers that the Ferrari would now benefit from a degree of paintwork and re-gassing of the air conditioning system. It comes complete with factory-fitted sunroof.Ferrari’s mould-breaking 308 GT4 was introduced at the Paris Salon in 1973. Originally marketed as a Dino, it didn’t, however, gain its Prancing Horse badges until 1976. It was the first production Ferrari to feature a mid-mounted V8 engine and the first to be clothed in Bertone-designed bodywork, the angular lines of which were a major departure from the sweeping curves of the Pininfarina-penned 246 that it replaced. The chassis was a stretched version of that used for the 246 – the combination of longer wheelbase and transversely mounted engine allowing room for a second (small) row of seats. The 3-litre light-alloy engine delivered 255bhp at 7600rpm – sufficient to endow the car with a top speed of over 150mph and a 0-60mph acceleration time of 6.4 seconds. It was mated to a traditional Ferrari ‘slotted gate’ five-speed gearbox mounted behind and beneath the engine. Production of the GT4 continued until 1980, when the model was replaced by the Mondial. Some 2,800 examples were made during the seven years of manufacture. In summary:Has remained in the current ownership for no less than 28 yearsMOT history seemingly backs ultra-low indicated mileage of 13,828Treated to new engine belts and a service four years ago

Registration - 516 YUYChassis No - 2751387M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - TBC This rare and ever-so-Gallic model originally dwelt in the South of France, was allegedly restored by a fireman, and was imported to the UK in 2013 by the previous owner, and then purchased by the vendor last year following a chance meeting at Goodwood. It features lefthand drive and the column gearchange and three rows of seats that are an integral part of the Famililale model’s specification. It is finished in black over Dove Grey and trimmed in a mix of fabric and green vinyl up front, and green vinyl for the second and third rows of seats. Recent maintenance has included a rebuild of the braking system and the replacement of the distributor, HT leads and brake cylinders. The vendor now feels the Peugeot ‘runs well and is very solid’, and presently grades the four-cylinder 1468cc engine, four-speed manual gearbox, five-door bodywork and upholstery as ‘good’, and the paintwork as ‘average’. He is now offering this rare slice of France complete with a selection of paperwork, a workshop manual, and an assortment of tools. The mid-sized 403 model was produced by Peugeot from 1955 to 1966, during which time no less than 1,014,111 examples were produced. The model was offered in no less than seven guises, namely four-door saloon, five door estate, convertible, pickup, van and, courtesy of a lengthened wheelbase, a Familiale and Commercial estate. The interesting Familiale, the subject of this lot, featured three rows of seats, thereby turning the 403 into a 7/8-seater vehicle. It also featured full-reclining front chairs and a column mounted gearchange. The successor to the 403 was the four-times East African Safari Rally-winning 404. In summary:An unusual and potentially very useful French classicImported into the UK in 2013Said to be solid and the subject of some recent maintenance
