2004 Corvette C5 Transmission: manualMileage:103200A discernible improvement on its predecessor, the fifth generation or C5 Corvette was introduced in 1996. Commendably light and stiff, its hydroformed box frame chassis played host to composite transverse-leaf independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Powered by a new alloy 5.7-litre LS1 V8 engine, initially rated at 345hp/350lbft, the power plant was increased to 350hp/365lbft for the 2001 model year. The C5 Corvette Convertible was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 164mph.Offered in metallic silver paintwork over a black leather interior, this Corvette is presented with factory fitted lightweight alloy wheels and upgraded brakes and is showing circa 103,200 miles on the odometer. Purchased by our vendor from a repossession auction in the U.S. the Corvette has subsequently been imported to the U.K. and is accompanied by a history file containing the import paperwork and proof of U.K. taxes paid. Interested parties should note that although the relevant taxes have been paid the Corvette will require registration here in the U.K. and as such is being sold without a U.K. V5C registration document. Recently fitted with a new battery and offered with a fresh MoT test certificate, we believe the Corvette is offered at a very attractive estimate and should be keenly contested at auction.

1985 Porsche 911 Super Sport Targa Transmission: manualMileage:109285Introduced in 1984, the Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 was the last incarnation of the ‘pure’ 911 and was a replacement for the SC model, made between 1978 and 1983. The engine capacity was increased to 3.2-litres, Bosch fuel injection was fitted, and power was up to 231bhp, at least for the European market. With a lack of driver aids such as ABS and power steering, the Carrera 3.2 is said to offer one of the purest 911 driving experiences. Rarest of them all is the ‘Turbo look’ wide body, known as the ‘Super Sport’ in the UK. The lucky few buyers would have had to place their order through the ‘Sonderwusch’ (special wishes) programme and stump up in excess of £10,000 over the base price. Just 220 right-hand drive Targa examples were produced, of which only 14 were originally delivered new to the UK!This superb looking matching numbers example was built on 26th September 1985 and was delivered new to the UK in its original colour combination of White Gold over a brown interior. Offered in very good condition throughout the paintwork retains a deep shine and presents well, although there are some minor age-related stone chips and blemishes. The interior, including the dashboard and dials is also in very good condition, the leather is in good order, and the pin stripe inserts are showing no real sign of age.In 2022/2023 this rare 911 was treated to an extensive mechanical restoration by Porsche Specialists Patrick Walsh Porsche Ltd to the tune of £21,431. Included in the works was a comprehensive top and bottom end engine rebuild, extensive gearbox rebuild, new clutch and ancillaries, new flywheel, new timing chain, reconditioned alternator, new starter motor, new fuel tank, and an upgraded Dansk exhaust system. Many other significant parts have also been replaced as well as new oil pipes, sensors, bearings etcetera, with as many as possible being replaced with genuine Porsche parts.Offered with a sizeable history file including invoices for the restoration work amounting to £21,431, a comprehensive photographic record of the restoration, previous MoT test records, the current UK V5C registration document, the private registration number, a current MoT test certificate valid until January 2024, the Porsche letter of origin confirming it’s an original UK supplied Super Sport Targa in its original specification, the owner’s manual, and a service booklet with many service stamps. Offered from a small private collection, this 911 is always dry stored and has been used regularly in summer months. This is a wonderful example having covered a mere 500 miles since the restoration and is ready to be enjoyed by its new custodian.

1968 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda Transmission: manualMileage:95300The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production until February 1971. An all-new design by Paul Bracq to replace the 190 SL and 300 SL Roaster. The 280 SL had a powerful 2.8 litre version of Mercedes inline-six and used Bosch fuel injection. To save on weight the bonnet, boot lid and tonneau cover were all composed of aluminium. The nickname 'Pagoda' was quickly adopted thanks to the slightly concave roof on the optional removable hardtop that resembled a pagoda roof. The comparatively short and wide chassis, combined with an excellent suspension, powerful disc brakes and radial tyres gave the W113 superb handling for its time. These roadsters also have one of the most beautiful bodies produced in the 1960s. Thanks to their robust inline-six and their luxurious Mercedes interior, they are wonderful cars to be driven and enjoyed. The styling of the front paid homage to the legendary 300 SL with its characteristic upright Bosch ‘fishbowl’ headlights and simple chrome grille, dominated by the large three-pointed star in the nose panel.This very tidy left hand drive example of this iconic German classic was imported from the US in 2016 and was then repainted in the traditional white which you see today. Its interior, which we believe to be original but cannot confirm, is red MB Tex and is in good condition. Its 2.8 engine is mated to a manual gearbox and we are informed it runs well. The car comes with its factory hardtop which is also in good condition and this Pagoda is priced very reasonably compared to many similar classic Mercedes-Benz and can be used every day or to tour in Europe, either way this is a stylish sports car and still turns heads on our roads today.

1968 Triumph TR5 Transmission: manualMileage:27223The TR5 was built for a 13-month period between August 1967 and September 1968 in Coventry. Visually identical to the Michelotti styled TR4, the TR5 hid the main differences under the body. The most significant change was the 2.5 litre straight-six fuel-injected engine developing around 150bhp and which was carried forward to the TR6. At the time, fuel injection was uncommon in road cars. Triumph claimed in their sales brochure that it was the ‘first British production sports car with petrol fuel injection’. This engine could propel the TR5 from 0-50mph in just 6.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 125mph. Standard equipment included front disc brakes, independent rear suspension, rack and pinion steering and a four-speed gearbox. The available optional extras included overdrive, wire wheels and a hardtop with detachable roof panel, known as the ‘Surrey Top’.This stunning, fully restored, manual with overdrive TR5 was built on 29th January 1968. The accompanying Heritage Certificate verifies that the car was despatched on 16th February before first being registered on 23rd of February 1968. Looking stunning in its original colour of Valencia Blue with a tan interior and black hood, the Heritage Certificate shows that wire wheels, SP41 tyres, heater and overdrive gearbox were all specified from new. Restored over a 16-month period, this car was something of a passion project. Having owned several Triumphs over the years, Mr. Hoffman had always hankered for the pretty looks of the TR4, but with the performance of the TR6 therefore a TR5 was a must. Having looked around for a suitable car, but having had no luck, he turned to the best in the business and had TR Bitz restore a car from the ground-up just for him. It was essential that the car was usable and reliable for trips and holidays. Mr. Hoffman spent over £45,000 with TR Bitz restoring the car between 2002 and 2004. A true nut and bolt restoration, the California sourced chassis was shotblasted and stove enamelled, the body taken back to bare metal before fitting and painting along with every mechanical and interior part being fully restored, rebuilt or replaced. Whilst having the car restored, the opportunity to upgrade various elements arose. As a result, the car benefitted from; the engine being rebuilt to Stage 2 specification (as well as being lightened and balanced), rebuilt differential, rebuilt J-Type gearbox with overdrive, stainless steel sports exhaust, Bosch fuel pump, 72 spoke wire wheels, Spax shock absorbers, polyurethane bushes, halogen headlamps, high torque starter motor, Kenlowe fan, leather seats and wood door cappings.The car also later benefitted from Alfin rear brake drums, a Borg and Beck clutch assembly and more recently a new Mohair hood cover. Mr. Hoffman spent a further £5,000 on keeping the car in perfect condition before selling it in 2013. The car still looks as good today as it did back in 2004, a testament to how well the car was restored. The car sounds incredible through its sports exhaust and is reported to run and drive incredibly well with the ability to cover ground at an impressively rapid rate.Offered to auction with a V5C registration document, MoT test certificate valid until February 2024, restoration details, photo record and invoices over the past 20 years and several impressive files along with a Heritage Certificate, a copy of Triumph World with a five-page article on the car, original chassis plate and even an original handbook. With only 1,161 original right hand drive cars built, this TR5 must be one of the best and available at a fraction on what a similar restoration would cost today.

2015 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S Transmission: automaticMileage:22291The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT made its debut on 9th September 2014 and was officially unveiled to the public in October 2014 at the Paris Motor Show with two engine power output options: the GT, with 456 bhp), and the GT S with 503 bhp. The GT S was the Formula 1 safety car for the 2015, 2016 and 2017 seasons, having made its debut in that role in the 2015 Australian Grand Prix. The GT's exterior design was kept similar to that of the preceding SLS AMG. It features the wide wheel arches lower bodywork, and fastback sloping roofline of the SLS AMG, but uses conventional forward-opening doors instead of the iconic gullwing style pioneered by the 300 SL in the 1950s. The large bonnet and slim windscreen have been retained. The vehicle structure is made up of 93% aluminium, with the front module base made up of magnesium. The exterior lead designer was Mark Fetherston, whose previous works include the W176 A-Class, the CLA Class, and SLS AMG. The interior, designed by Jan Kaul, features a large centre console and decorative elements in a leather and carbon polymer design.Originally registered on 18th September 2015 this beautiful AMG GT S presents in unmarked condition. A full service history accompanies this Mercedes-Benz with the first six services carried out by main dealers and the last service on 12th May 2022 at 21,521 miles by a marque specialist. Finished in Designo Diamond White with grey and black interior, this stylish sportscar has an impressive list of options. These include Carbon Fibre Trim Package, 19â€/20†AMG forged alloy wheels, Nappa leather, AMG performance seats with AMG badges in the seat back and Premium Package which includes a Burmester surround system and a Panoramic roof. The price of this outstanding vehicle was £126,520 including £16,020 worth of options. These outstanding vehicles offer brisk performance by any standards. This immaculate, well serviced, and exceedingly well cared for example is a must for the collector or adrenalin seekers.Interested parties should note that the private registration plate shown is to be retained by the vendor and a new, age-related registration issued instead. 

1964 Bristol 408 Transmission: automaticMileage:3025The Bristol 408 was made between 1963 and 1966. Mechanically, the Bristol 408 was identical to its predecessor the 407, which had been a major departure for Bristol with its use of a Chrysler V8 engine and automatic transmission. However, outwardly there were some major changes. The frontal styling of the 407 which had been a carry-over from the six-cylinder 406 and 405 was discarded and in its place was a rectangular grille with pronounced horizontal bars. Another major change was the turn indicator lamps, which on the 408 were wide and rectangular in contrast to the 407's round lamps. Due to safety concerns, the push-button layout of the automatic transmission was modified through the use of a safety lever to prevent an unwary person moving the car out of ‘park’. There were also rectangular instead of circular push-buttons for the gear selector in this version of the car. The transmission itself was now of cast alloy and was over 30 kilograms lighter than that of previous eight-cylinder Bristol’s.This Bristol 408 presents well in the classic colour combination of Old English White paintwork over a red leather interior. This rare car has been owned by our vendor for the last 29 years but has seen very little use in recent years. We are informed that the car has only covered 474 miles in the last 19 years. However, the car has benefitted from considerable recent expenditure with a gearbox rebuilt in 2019 and a repaint in 2020. In excess of £15,000 has been spent on the car since 2018. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document, a workshop manual and a copy of the owner’s handbook, this Bristol is a striking example of a British gentleman's motor car and would make an excellent choice for any connoisseur.

1952 Morris Minor series II Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:34555The Morris Minor debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show in London on 20th September 1948. Designed by Alec Issigonis, more than 1.3 million were manufactured between 1948 and 1971. In 1952, the Morris Minor was updated with an Austin-designed 803cc overhead valve, A-Series engine replacing the original side-valve unit. The engine had been designed for the Minor's main competitor, the Austin A30, but became available when Austin and Morris were merged into the British Motor Corporation. Cosmetically the front wings and grille were replaced, and the headlights moved from the grille to the front wings. In 1952, in addition to the two and four-door saloon and the four-seat convertible, an estate version known as the Traveller was introduced (a Morris naming tradition for estates, also seen on the Mini), along with the van and pick-up versions.This stunning fully restored early split screen example was first registered on 1st May 1952 and supplied from new as a factory convertible. Presented in gleaming black coachwork with contrasting red trim and beautifully fitted new hood. The engine has been replaced with an uprated later Morris engine enabling this car to, more purposefully, keep up with modern traffic yet still retain a period feel. In this condition the car is really a joy to drive and would adorn any show, a credit to its owner and sure to be loved and cherished for many more years by its new custodian.

1968 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagoda Transmission: automaticMileage:13182In 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 SL’s 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 matching numbers, right hand drive, 230 SL Pagoda is one of the finest examples we have offered. Originally registered on 5th February 1968, this late example has recently benefitted from an impressive restoration. The comprehensive file that accompanies this car details what an incredible amount work has been undertaken. This includes the fitting of a new fuel pump, radiator, brake servo and master cylinder, brake discs, suspension bushes, anti-roll bushes and new cylinder head valve stem seals. The car presents extremely well in gleaming silver coachwork over freshly trimmed black leather. This look is enhanced with a new wooden dashboard, a new white period correct steering wheel and radio, a new soft top hood and a restored factory supplied hardtop, even the toolkit has been restored and a new boot carpet fitted. 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.

2002 Aston Martin Vanquish 2+2 Transmission: automaticMileage:10500Launched at the Geneva motor show in 2001 the Aston Martin Vanquish was hailed as “The ultimate Grand Tourer†powered by a DOHC 4 valve V12 engine producing 460hp it could propel the car from 0–60 mph in under 5 seconds and reach a top speed exceeding 190 mph. It was instantly immortalised further by featuring in the 2002 James Bond movie Die Another Day.This example was delivered new by Aston Martin Sales of Mayfair, Park Lane London on the 19th November 2002 and is a one owner example. Having covered a mere 10,500 genuine miles this fine Vanquish remains in excellent all round condition. Always serviced by Aston Martin main dealers it comes complete with a full service history and in addition was returned to the works service department in 2021 where it received an overhaul of the gearbox, a full service and a fresh MoT test certificate. Finished in Tungsten Silver with a two tone grey leather interior this 2+2 example retains all the factory glove box accessories, both the factory handbooks, warranty book and service history invoices, plus the essential Aston Martin battery tender and a fresh MoT test certificate valid until February 2024. A truly fine example of Aston Martin’s classic flagship model. Offered with the private registration number ‘V12 PLC’ valued at £10,000! This is one of the best examples we have seen and with a superb history we are sure it will be keenly contested at auction.

1991 BMW Alpina B12 E31 Coupé (5.0 litre) Transmission: automaticMileage:233393Launched in 1990, the 5.0 litre V12 engined Alpina B12 Coupé was based upon BMW’s 850i (E31), with Alpina characteristic improvements including new Mahle pistons, camshafts and improved cylinder heads liberated an additional 49bhp for a total output of 350bhp which meant the car hit 60mph in 6.8 seconds, whilst revised springs and Bilstein dampers focused the handling, with no loss of ride comfort. The package was completed aesthetically by an upgraded interior featuring Alpina accents, as well as subtle bodykit and signature 20 spoke alloy wheels.This BMW B12, fitted with the V12, 5.0 litre engine, came out of the Alpina factory in Bovensiepen in October 1991 and was supplied to its first owner by BMW HATJE in Germany where it remained, being regularly serviced by BMW main dealers, until it was imported to the UK in April 2000. After arriving in the UK, the car was regularly looked after by Alpina specialists until it became part of a private collection in 2011. In 2016, the car was put into storage, only coming out recently when it was fully recommissioned and given an MoT test. Finished in Schwarz (black) with Anthracite Buffalo leather interior, this Alpina B12 is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in January 2024 and a history file containing the service books and UK invoices. Only 97 B12 5.0 litre coupés were built, and this example would be a fine addition to any collection.

1970 Porsche 911E Transmission: manualMileage:98794The Porsche 911 is the flagship car of the German manufacturer. It has a distinctive design, rear-engined, with independent rear suspension, an evolution of the swing axle on the Porsche 356. Since its introduction in 1963, the 911 has undergone continuous development although the basic concept has remained little changed. Throughout its lifetime, the 911 has been modified by private teams and by the factory itself for racing, rallying and other forms of competition and is among the most successful competition cars ever. The earliest edition of the 911 had a flat-six engine in the ‘boxer’ configuration, similar to the 356, air-cooled, rear-mounted and displaced 1991cc. It was mated to a four or five-speed manual ‘Type 901’ gearbox. Manufactured in 1970 and then exported and registered in the United States in 1971, the 911E on offer here was unusually specified without the usual additional extras; such as a sunroof or electric windows. This configuration however, would shape the car’s future as it lends itself well to motorsport applications where the non-sunroof shell is not only lighter, but also more rigid, aiding handling. As with so many American sourced classic cars, there is little known of the car’s life over there. It was imported into the UK in 1989 and was featured in Classic and Sportscar magazine when being sold by The Autodrome for the April 1992 edition, (of which a copy of the article can be seen in the accompanying history file). The car was purchased by Ken Davies in 1993, (who later went on to be Chairman of the Castle Combe racing Club and is well respected in the Motorsport community) and went about converting it into a race car to run in the HSCC 70’s Roadsports Series, with the help of the well regarded specialists, Oak Tree Garage. Mr. Davis went to be Chairman of the Castle Combe racing Club and is well respected in the Motorsport community. Included in the accompanying history file are many amusing correspondences between Mr. Davis and the HSCC disputing the allowed minimum weight of the car. Mr. Davis enjoyed good success with it, before selling it on to the vendor in 2005.The vendor carried on racing the car in the HSCC 70’s Roadsports Series until 2009. In 2007, he had the engine rebuilt and uprated to S specification by well renowned Porsche specialist Mike Bainbridge including; ported and polished cylinder heads, reground crankshaft, new Mahle S specification barrels and pistons, modified oil system and replacement piston squirters fitted. The car was then tuned on Bob Watson’s rolling road and shown to have a very healthy 198bhp. Two notable victories for the car were in 2006, when the car won both the Birkett Relay and the Pomeroy Trophy. In 2009, the vendor swapped to a Jaguar for his racing, however, he kept the 911 and used it sparingly for Sunday outings and the odd track day at his local circuit Castle Combe. The car’s specification is impressive with the aforementioned Bainbridge built S specification engine, 6x15†front and 7x15†rear Fuchs style wheels, Bilstein sports suspension, 911S style front bumper, 3.2 Carrera front brake calipers, rear roll cage, RS style seats and lightweight carpet set.Supplied with a V5C registration document, file of receipts and virtually every MoT test certificate between 1989 and 2016, the vendor reports that the car runs and drives extremely well and that it is a very quick and capable car both on road and track. Ideal for Sunday coffee runs, car meets, track days or even racing, this pretty little 911 can do it all.

1966 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagoda Transmission: automaticMileage:97180The Mercedes-Benz W113 roadsters, designed by Paul Bracq, were produced from 1963 through to 1971 with their distinctive 'Pagoda' hardtop roof giving them their contemporary nickname. All models feature an inline six-cylinder engine with multi-port fuel injection using a mechanical pump system adapted from the diesel engine. All are rear-wheel drive and are equipped with independent rear suspension, a feature that greatly improved road handling. It made its debut at the prestigious Geneva Motor Show in March 1963 where Technical Director Fritz 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 high degree of travelling comfort. Mercedes-Benz Chief Engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut, who was as competent behind the wheel as most racing drivers, demonstrated the capabilities of the 230 SL on a tight short race track near Montreux in 1963 where he put up a best lap time of 47.5 seconds and, incidentally, out-performed Mike Parkes in his Ferrari 250GT.This 1966 230 SL Pagoda Mercedes-Benz has been subject to a restoration by a Hampshire based classic car restoration company, costing in excess of £200,000. The car is presented in silver with biscuit leather interior and has a new dark blue hood. Its original engine (included in the sale) was replaced by a 2.8 litre engine from a 1970 CE model, providing the car with better performance and is mated to an automatic gearbox. Recently this Pagoda has been treated to maintenance work to the braking system at a cost of circa £1,600. Offered with a V5C registration document, previous MoT test records, sundry invoices and an MoT test certificate valid until October 2023.Interested parties should note that whilst the car has been restored, we advise any prospective purchaser to read the condition report provided by Hemmels which can be obtained by way of a PDF from Historics or indeed can be seen in the history file at the auction. Since the report the Pagoda has had work carried out to the braking system at a cost of circa £1,600 and comes with a MoT test certificate valid until October 2023.

1966 Austin Mini Cooper Mk. I (998cc) Transmission: manualMileage:69300These fabulous and popular little cars were designed in 1959 and were heralded as a new concept in car design. Little did they know or envisage what would become of these great models. With a monocoque shell, transversely mounted engine and front wheel drive, the new 'Mini' soon became popular across the world and to all types of individuals well healed or not! The potential for competition use was soon seen by John Cooper; he eventually persuaded BMC and the two worked together culminating in the birth of the Austin Mini Cooper and the Morris Mini Cooper in 1961. Victories in the 1964, 1965 and 1967 Monte-Carlo Rallies set the Mini on the road to fame but probably the greatest publicity was gained from their, somewhat unfair, disqualification for lighting irregularities in the 1966 event after coming in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. A more powerful Mini Cooper, dubbed the 'S', was developed in tandem and released in 1963.Offered here is a truly exceptional Mk. I Austin Cooper restored to its original specification. Such high quality restorations are usually reserved for only the very best Cooper S models, making this probably the best condition Cooper on the road. Restored from the ground-up in its original colours of Tweed Grey with an Old English White roof, this car wants for nothing. Such was the obsessive nature of the restoration, that there are an abundance of period correct details not often found on many Minis, that will surely please any Mini aficionado. A good example of this is the period correct, crimped exhaust silencer, fabricated because these items are no longer available. Indeed, throughout the extensive photographic record of the restoration, you can see that no stone has been left unturned in the pursuit of perfection and it is a pleasure to see such effort going into something other than an ‘S’. The history file shows that since its restoration in 2013 the engine was rebuilt in 2017 and has hardly done any mileage since. Such pride was taken in the restoration of this car that a full photo gallery of it can still be seen on the restorer’s website. The Heritage Certificate shows this car to have been originally completed on 10th February 1966 and despatched to Solihull Motor Company on 26th February 1966 with the only option added being a fresh-air heater.Supplied with the Heritage Certificate, history file, driver’s handbook and photographic record of its restoration. This unique and correct Cooper is offered from the private collection of Jamiroquai’s front man, Jay Kay.

1964 Aston Martin DB5 Transmission: automaticMileage:10920At its unveiling the Aston Martin DB5 instantly became one of the most desirable and sought-after grand tourers ever created. Described by Autocar as ‘a car that defies definition’, the DB5 was all things to all men, as adept at storming the newly opened M1 motorway as it was burbling along quiet London mews—providing you could afford the hefty £4,248 price. The DB5 became an icon after being thrust into the limelight, while starring alongside Sean Connery in the 1965 James Bond spy thriller Goldfinger. Immortalised in celluloid, the Silver Birch dream machine became an overnight sensation that would alter forever, public perception not only of the model, but of the Newport Pagnell company as a whole. With a 0-60 mph sprint time of just 8.1 seconds and a top speed of 140 mph, the DB5 was the perfect tool for crossing continents in comfort, outpacing many period rivals including the fuel-injected Maserati 3500 GTI. The British machine also rivalled its European competition in terms of luxury, with a cabin trimmed in leather, reclining seats, and wool carpets cossetting its fortunate occupants. Standard equipment was also impressive, and included an alternator, chrome wire wheels, an oil cooler, power-operated windows, and twin fuel tanks. Fast, comfortable, and reassuringly expensive, the Aston Martin DB5 was one of the leading grand tourers of the 1960s—a reputation that it more than lives up to today, evolving into the marque's most timeless classic, appealing to dedicated enthusiasts and casual observers alike.First registered on 14th April 1964 chassis number 1529/R was originally finished in Platinum with red Connolly leather interior. The factory workshop sheets confirm various works carried out at Newport Pagnell up to January 1967 (at 21,691 miles). Fulham Workshops of Parsons Green (later Clapham Common) serviced the Aston for many years until they retired. In 2006 Aston Martin specialist Tim Bissett, was commissioned for a rebuild and upgrade; this work involved enlarging the engine to 4.2 litres, the fitment of fast road cams and a Billet crankshaft. Photographed in the history file is confirmation the car was used competitively for the 2001 Classic Marathon rally, wearing its number 65 and registration 2189 RD. Our highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic vendor purchased this car at a Bonhams auction in December 2017 before undertaking a full nut and bolt restoration. The two-year restoration is detailed in a hardback photo book supplied with the car showing the entire process before being completed and used for his daughter’s wedding. Part of the restoration included various upgrades to be implemented and during this restoration, our client installed a larger capacity aluminium radiator with electric fan, larger 6†wire wheels and tyres and power steering. Further enhancements include the fitment of central locking, an upgraded light system and a retro style modern DAB radio.The history file includes invoices from the restoration, together with the original order details, early servicing details and engine rebuild details from Tim Bissett. This example has been well cared for by our vendor who has owned a number of DB5’s and is supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 31st May 2023.  The Aston Martin DB5 is often thought of as the ultimate quintessential British sports car, admiring the beautiful aesthetics of this curvaceous classic, it is easy to see why.* Interested parties should note that the private registration plate shown is to be retained by the vendor and a new, age-related registration issued instead.

1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider (Type 101.23) Transmission: manualMileage:4089With Italian flair, Pininfarina styling, the Giulia Spider has all the hallmarks of a timeless classic. Introduced in 1962, the Giulia Spider was a development of the earlier Giulietta Spider with a new, enlarged 1.6 litre engine in place of the original 1.3 litre offering increased torque and power right across the rev. range requiring the inclusion of a bulge on the bonnet in order to accommodate the larger engine.This beautiful left hand drive Giulia Spider is a rare matching numbers example and was built in Italy on 18th October 1962 and delivered new to Frankfurt in Germany on 20th October that same year. Little is known of its early life in Germany but we are told that the German owner emigrated to South Africa in the late 1970's and took the car with him to Johannesburg. He kept the car until 2012 when it was sold for restoration to a car collector in Johannesburg who commissioned an Alfa specialist in Cape Town to carry out a comprehensive restoration whereupon the colour was changed from its original blue to classic Rosso Red. The quality of the work is second to none and will withstand the closest scrutiny especially as the car has covered just 4,074 since the completion of the works just five years ago.The vendor acquired the car from Johannesburg in June and imported it to England where it has just been U.K registered with a correct age-related number plate. The car is reported to drive extremely well and would represent not only a sound investment but also something that can be driven and enjoyed straight away especially as the history file not only includes a fresh 12-month MoT test certificate.

1987 Lotus Turbo Esprit HC Transmission: manualMileage:69403Built between 1976 and 2004, the Lotus Esprit was unveiled in 1972 as a concept car and was a development of a stretched Lotus Europa chassis. It was among the first of designer Giorgetto Giugiaro's polygonal 'folded paper' designs. Originally, the name Kiwi was proposed but, in keeping with the Lotus tradition of having all car model names start with the letter 'E', the name became Esprit. Introduced in April 1981, the Turbo Esprit and Series III Esprit marked a necessary consolidation; both new models had a common chassis. The SIII continued to use the 2.2 litre, type 912 engine, whilst the Turbo Esprit reverted to a less complex wet-sump lubrication system, retaining the power and torque outputs of its dry-sump predecessor. The interior for both cars was revised and featured new trim; combined with changes to the body moulds this resulted in more headroom and an enlarged footwell. Externally, the Turbo Esprit retained the full aerodynamic body kit of the Essex cars and featured prominent 'Turbo Esprit' decals on the nose and sides.Originally registered on 1st August 1987, this Lotus presents extremely well in blue with a beige interior and features a glass roof and original ‘Turbo Esprit HC’ side decals. This is a very good example both mechanically and cosmetically and has benefitted from dry storage. The paintwork is in good order and is complemented by a grey half leather half cloth interior. The cock pit area of this Esprit Turbo is a thing of beauty with great ergonomics. It is important that these Lotus’s are well looked after and this one certainly has been. The service book shows an impressive 17 stamps and the car is supplied with a V5C registration document together with a fresh MoT test certificate. To drive an Esprit Turbo is a great experience; the 2174cc turbocharged engine offers brisk performance coupled with good road holding and guarantees a fun drive.

1965 Morris 1100 Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:12688In 1962, a quite revolutionary new saloon was launched by BMC. With the codename ADO16 this new car was hot from the drawing boards of Alec Issigonis, who set out to design a larger and more sophisticated car which incorporated more advanced features and innovations, and the world-famous Italian design house Pininfarina. Offered in many guises by Innocenti, Morris, Riley, Wolseley, Vanden Plas and Austin, the ADO16 was truly universal in its appeal. In line with BMC's policy at the time, Austin badged versions of the ADO16 were built at Longbridge, whilst Morris and MG versions were assembled at Cowley.Originally registered on 20th August 1965, this stunning Morris 1100 presents in time warp condition. The Old English White coachwork is unmarked and the red interior has a delightful patina which is certainly commensurate with such a low mileage example. The originality of this Morris is quite remarkable, particularly taking into account it is 58 years old, even the tyres are still the original ones that the car left the factory with. In 1991 this Morris was put into dry storage and has been recently recommissioned at a cost of £1,300. The original factory parts, which were taken off the car, have been kept by the fastidious vendor. Open the boot on this car, and you will understand the excellent condition the car is in. Start the engine and the familiar sound of the A-Series engine is apparent. We are advised this Morris 1100 runs well and drives with no known faults, with everything working exactly as it should. The spare tyre has never been on the car and the tools are still in the original bag in the boot. Supplied with a V5C registration document, together with a current MoT test certificate valid until 8th June 2023, even though the car is MoT exempt. A great history file confirms the exceedingly low mileage of 12,688; this is an unrepeatable opportunity to purchase an iconic piece of British motoring history.Guide £11,000-£14,000 

1962 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Transmission: automaticMileage:47030With a production run that started in 1959 and finished in 1968, the Mercedes-Benz W111 series was the top of the range line-up for the German manufacturer. The addition of two-door coupés and cabriolets was made in 1961. These new models were the replacement for the two-door Pontons and factory prototypes show that Mercedes-Benz attempted to give the two-door car a front styling similar to the Pagoda roadster. The rear bodywork persisted and although officially called a fintail the rear end design had no chrome fin highlights. The coupé was premiered in Stuttgart for the 75th anniversary of the Mercedes-Benz Museum.Originally registered in September 1962, this stunning example presents extremely well in metallic light blue coachwork with a contrasting cream leather interior piped in blue which is complemented by blue carpets. We are informed that £40,000 was spent recommissioning the car which is evident when viewing this fabulous example. This superb example of this iconic classic from the German manufacturer, really is in exemplary condition. Its ivory coloured steering wheel and gear knob add to the nostalgic feel, particularly complemented by its fabulous interior, which is extremely comfortable as with all Mercedes-Benz of this era. The car has benefitted from some updating in the form of a period but sympathetic, Bluetooth stereo. We are informed that this Mercedes is a delight to drive. Powered by its smooth six-cylinder engine mated to an automatic gearbox, this elegant classic will turn heads everywhere.

1966 Land Rover Series IIA (SWB) Transmission: manualMileage:4000The Land Rover Series IIA is considered by many to be the hardiest Series model constructed. It is also quite possibly the model that features most strongly in the general public's perception of the Land Rover, from its many appearances in popular films and television documentaries set in Africa throughout the 1960s, such as Born Free. In February 1968, just a few months after its manufacturer had been subsumed, under government pressure, into the Leyland Motor Corporation, the Land Rover celebrated its twentieth birthday, with total production to date just short of 600,000, of which more than 70% had been exported.This Series IIA was subject to a full 350 hour, ground-up, restoration in 2022 and has travelled less than 4,000 miles since. The brief was to create the cleanest series Land Rover that will hold its own but will also simply work. This meant engine, brakes, steering and electric components that were required to be reliable every time, a tall order in a car over 50 years old. The vehicle was reported to be very good before restoration, but like any unrestored 1966 Landover in needed attention. This included a new galvanised chassis, bulkhead and many panels – of course these are visible due to structural nature of a Series II Land Rover. Additionally, the engine was fully rebuilt along with all new suspension components. The owner was keen to use genuine or the highest quality parts throughout and the results both cosmetically and in the way the car drives are evident, this is detailed in a folder of restoration pictures that document the thorough work. Like all restorations, the cost of all the new parts and labour totalled considerably more than listed today and these vehicles are most definitely on the ascendancy. Our vendor states that due to the detailed and extensive restoration, the car drives better than when it would have left the factory. Meticulous attention to detail ensures everything works, the engine starts on the button with no smoke and it runs sweetly sitting happily at 65mph. The brakes work as they should, steering is good, and all lights, dials, switches and dash dials also work. The vehicle is MoT exempt and, of course, ULEZ compliant, it also has the benefit of being tax exempt, perfect for London driving however travel further afield and the four-wheel drive and low range engage, as they should.A properly cool thing this…... It will just get cooler as the years pass! Enjoy the winter and plough through the snow to get some milk for the Nespresso machine and when the summer comes roll up the canvas and take the door tops off for those summer pub nights, or the beach with the hound and a cold beer. Two looks in one vehicle, hipster cool with a factory correct finish whichever picture you have in your mind. The photos really don't do this vehicle justice, it turns heads wherever it goes. 

1964 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagoda Transmission: automaticMileage:35487The Mercedes-Benz W113 roadsters, designed by Paul Bracq, were produced from 1963 through to 1971 with their distinctive ‘pagoda’ hardtop roof giving them their contemporary nick name. All models feature an inline six-cylinder engine with multi-port fuel injection using a mechanical pump system adapted from the diesel engine. All are rear-wheel drive and are also equipped with independent rear suspension, a feature that greatly improved road handling. These SL’s were typically sold with a soft top and an optional removable hardtop; the so-called ‘Coupé/Roadster’ configuration. The 230 SL made its debut at the prestigious Geneva Motor Show in March 1963 where Technical Director Fritz 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 high degree of travelling comfort. Mercedes-Benz Chief Engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut, who was as competent behind the wheel as most racing drivers, demonstrated the capabilities of the 230 SL on a tight short racetrack near Montreux in 1963 where he put up a best lap time of 47.5 seconds and, incidentally, out-performed Mike Parkes in his three litre V12 Ferrari 250GT.The vendor for this delightful Pagoda tells us that he first saw the car on the cover of Classic and Sports Car magazine and decided it would be an ideal present for his wife’s 40th birthday. He was right and she was over the moon when the car arrived from the Silchester Garage. During their 14-year tenure the car has covered a mere 2,000 miles. Most of these journeys were short trips to the local village or car shows and once a year it went on a pilgrimage to Goodwood. This Mercedes has been well looked after by leading Pagoda specialists, Roger Edwards of Amersham with receipts totalling over £6,000 on nine services. Although not documented, we are also informed that £3,000 was spent on a gearbox rebuild and £2,400 on the removal of two small rust spots. This stunning Pagoda also benefits from a desirable Becker Mexico Retro design stereo. Offered to auction with a desirable factory hardtop, service invoices, previous MoT test certificates and even a framed copy of the cover of Classic and Sports Car that started the vendors ownership. 

1997 Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution Transmission: manualMileage:181605The Pajero Evolution was produced to homologate the most successful Dakar rally car ever made, which took 12 victories from 1985 to 2007, including a 1-2-3 finish in 1998. Around 2,500 road-legal examples were produced for the Japanese market, each featuring Recaro front seats, a wraparound rear spoiler, re-designed bodywork, a unique suspension system, flared wheel arches, and a scooped bonnet. Powered by a 276bhp 3.5-litre V6 engine with the MIVEC variable valve timing system, coupled to a five-speed automatic transmission with four-wheel drive.First registered in October 1997, it was imported to the UK and re-registered with the DVLA in September 2019. The factory specification includes automatic climate control, electric windows and mirrors, and a high and low range gearbox. Benefitting from a few appropriate upgrades such as a Bosch Rotterdam stereo, which has replaced the original Japanese-language item, though it will be included in the sale. The only other modifications are an upgraded stainless steel exhaust and a red front skid plate. This example is offered in its original Scotia white paintwork and is presented in excellent condition throughout. The paintwork is very good with very few blemishes and stepping inside, there are very few minor surface marks. The underside is also notably clean showing little sign of wear. In excellent overall condition this Pajero is one of the best we have seen and has clearly been looked after throughout its life.Accompanying the Mitsubishi are its original owner’s manual, toolkit and torch, a previous registration certificate from Guernsey, its DVLA number plate authorisation certificate and a collection of maintenance invoices. In July 2022 the Pajero was serviced when the timing belt, engine oil, oil filter, air filter, front brake pads and nearside front lower ball joint were replaced and this month it has also been treated to an oil and filter service. In such great condition this example would make an entertaining daily driver or capable off-road companion for any keen enthusiast and would be at home in any prominent car collection.  

1971 Ferrari Dino 246 GT Transmission: automaticMileage:74519Ferrari have always been famed for large 12-cylinder front and rear engined touring cars for some time and it took some persuading for old man Enzo to invest his production resources and interests into a mid-engined sportscar. However, if anyone was to do it, Sergio Pininfarina was the man.The stunning Dino 206S, which was unveiled at the Paris Salon in October of 1965 and was succeeded by the Dino Berlinetta GT at Turin the following year with the first production Dino, the 206 GT, débuted at Turin in 1967. The Dino was not only Ferrari’s first mid-engine production car, it also marked the début of a new Ferrari-based Dino brand that was entirely devoid of Ferrari badging, in keeping with Enzo’s intention to honour the memory of his late son.For 1969, the Scaglietti-built Dino received a larger and more powerful 2,418cc engine although externally, the car’s striking design remained relatively unchanged. Purist complaints were quickly quelled by the car’s fabulous exhaust note and reported 146mph top speed.Additionally, it carried with it significant race-inspired handling characteristics brought about by a tubular steel chassis with a fully independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. There is good reason to include a Ferrari Dino in one’s collection but in order to secure the very best, the car’s history is important. Two elements in particular stand out, its restoration and, if possible, a set of correct Ferrari Classiche papers.The essential starting point of the Ferrari Classiche service is the Certificate of Authenticity that only Maranello can release. This unique service is very important for an owner, as only Ferrari Classiche can release an official document confirming the full authenticity of their car. The integrity and absolute uniqueness of the Ferrari archives, where the assembly sheets of all cars produced since 1947 are jealously guarded enabling the company to unequivocally establish conformity with the original design of any car made in its workshops. Only fully functioning and absolutely correct cars receive the Ferrari Certificate of Authenticity; because to ensure the vehicle's conformity to the original design - and therefore maximum driving safety – all parts need to be authentic. Chassis, engine, gearbox and transmission, suspension, brakes, freshly painted magnesium Cromodora wheels and correct Michelin XWX tyres, bodywork, and interior, are all rigorously examined by the Ferrari Classiche group of experts, a team of specialists with extensive experience at Ferrari, sometimes also including first-hand involvement in the construction of the vehicle under examination. The passion and proverbial mastery of Ferrari Classiche personnel are any customer's very best guarantee in establishing the authenticity of the car.This particular 246 GT is quite simply one of the finest examples we have ever had the pleasure of offering. A factory right hand drive example, it was delivered new to the UK in this original Rossi Chiaro with Nero interior and sold via Ferrari Concessionaires Maranello in Surrey.Latterly, chassis designation 01632 was totally restored by Ferrari specialists Foskers, including a fresh Ferrari Classiche-sanctioned and stamped engine in 2009-2010 and overseen by Ian Barkaway. Indeed, this Dino is believed to be last car that Ian Barkaway restored before he started independently as Barkaways, respected Ferrari restoration specialists. These works elevated an already good car to a concours award-winning level.Indeed, in the extensive photographic restoration file, it includes certain trophies it won under the stewardship of Ian Barkaway himself. From the engine compartment and black interior, right down to the Cromodora wheels, every element has been properly restored to ensure that the car is presented in the correct manner in which it left the factory. The engine is, of course, a numbers-matching unit (corrected by Ferrari Classiche/Ferrari S.p.A in 2013) with numbers from which the car was built with from new.In a contemporary road test, Road & Track described the Dino 246 driving experience as “pleasurably sensual†and continued, “Even on a slow run to the corner drugstore, the Dino seems to be working, snarling, racingâ€. Add to that the privilege of driving a superbly restored, award-winning example and the ownership experience is surely all the more exceptional.With full photographic history, written documented history, 2013 Ferrari Classiche presentation book (in original box) and the original leather Ferrari Dino owners pack, this meticulously prepared example wants for nothing and must surely represent one of the best driving and well put together examples available today.

1968 Porsche 911L (SWB) Transmission: manualMileage:119000Introduced at the 1963 Frankfurt Auto Show, Porsche’s all-new 911 drew instant acclaim. Like its predecessor, the long-running 356, it had a rear-mounted air-cooled ‘boxer’ engine, but where the 356 had four cylinders the 911 offered six. Styling, reminiscent of the 356 but with up-to-date cues, was by Ferdinand ‘Butzi’ Porsche, grandson of the founder Ferdinand Porsche. While the 356 was notable for its longevity in the marketplace, the 911 has proved nearly immortal. This beautiful and rare right hand drive UK supplied Porsche 911L was subject to an extensive restoration in 2010 and is presented in Bahama Yellow. The European L was the last of the SWB cars and was built to ‘S’ spec – with five-speed gearbox, Koni suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, the only difference from an ‘S’ was of course the engine.Our vendor, a private collector had the engine and gearbox rebuilt to S specification with an S cam, balancing and gas flowing to ‘S+’ power outputs, making the engine a real peach. It is producing 210 bhp, at last dyno, with power delivered smoothly and promptly compared to the standard 2.0 Litres 120/130bhp. The suspension has been set up by a Porsche race mechanic, dialling out some of the handling issues SWB 911’s had in period, with Koni suspension, uprated torsion bars, anti-roll bars and turbo steering arms. Another welcome addition is that of a forward mounted oil cooler and a new stainless steel exhaust.The upgrades have made this example ideal for driving through the mountains and in the last decade, the car has been driven through the Italian lakes and back through both the Gavia and Stelvio passes. It has participated in the Scottish Malts and Three Castles rallies and in 2019 it also completed the Milan to Monte Carlo rally taking in the highest road in Europe.Whilst the car is presented in lightweight form, the original bumpers and trim that have been removed do come with the car so, it can be returned to the standard look quite easily should you wish. The history file is full of invoices for maintenance and upkeep, as you would expect, with an owner that has cherished this example and enjoyed it throughout some of the best roads in Europe.Although described as immaculate, this 911L will show a 2.7RS a clean pair of heels if required, this example has drivability, provenance and rarity in its favour and would be the perfect addition for any planned drive through Europe. Don’t forget, with Porsche turning 75 this year, there will be no shortage of events to enjoy. 

1953 Jowett Jupiter Mk. II Transmission: manualMileage:The Jupiter Mk. II was designed by Jowett in 1952 but never built. In 2008, respected Jowett restorer, Allan Fishburn, created a one-off Mk. II (from the original drawings) based on a 1953 Jowett Jupiter chassis and rebuilt engine, clothed in hand-beaten aluminium panels. Jowett was a small family owned motor company, based in Bradford, England, which was founded in 1906. In the post war period from 1949-1953 the company had tremendous racing success with the Javelin and the Jupiter models, notably winning the 24 hours Le Mans 1500cc class with the Jupiter in 1950, 1951 and Jupiter R1 in 1952. Sadly, in 1953, the company ceased production due to body supply issues as a result of a takeover by Ford Motor Company of its partner/supplier Briggs Motor Bodies Limited.Shipped on 16th 1953 (E2 SC 944R – E3 SC 944R as E2 in the main records, E3 in the warranty records) to Longton Garages Ltd, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire and registered as 2258 E to T.W.T Harrison, Greenacre, Norton-in-Hales, North Shropshire. The original colour was ivory with red upholstery and just 14 miles separated the agent from the customer. In 1961, a bus drove into it, either in Birmingham or Coventry and at some point after this event it came to George Mitchell, Thrums, Cleish, Kinross, Scotland. George Mitchell owned its remains, at least, as far back as 1973. George listed it as an ‘E3’. One early description of it in George’s collection states ‘chassis frame, front suspension, rear section of body only, including boot lid. No rear axle etc.’Then, in 1979 Edmund Nankivell, renowned authority and author of several publications of the Jowett Jupiter, visited C.H.Wood (Bradford) Ltd who had been the Jowett company’s official photographer; they had some of the negatives showing a 1952 photograph of the ‘Plasticine’ model of the proposed Jupiter Mk. II and paper factory drawings of it with various sketches of how the car would look. Jowett’s engineer Phil Stephenson had penned the Mk. II body design which was based on the standard and well proved Von Eberhorst Jupiter chassis with some modification to the very rear section. It was clear that this was intended by Jowett to be the next generation Jupiter, but sadly the limited resources at Jowett were diverted and the Mk. II was shelved.Allan Fishburn, a panel-beater by trade, got interested, having previously done a very good job on several Jupiters. Edmund Nankivell supplied Allan with photos of factory drawings and a plasticine model he had obtained from C.H. Wood and tipped Allan off about this Jupiter chassis available from George Mitchell. Allan bought the bare stripped frame from George Mitchell on 27th June 2008. Chassis condition ‘not bad apart from gearbox cross-member’. Allan Fishburn built it up into his Jupiter Mk. II form from the bare stripped SC 944R frame, using JC Ltd drawings, all bodywork aluminium. By dint of modifying the near-side chassis front upright, he was able to move the engine back two inches – this enabled him to place the water radiator in front of the engine – something Jowett might have done! Water pump is an adapted Volkswagen Golf unit. The car is understood to be fitted with a five-speed Ford gearbox. This Mk. II Jupiter passed its MoT test certificate in early December 2011. In August 2013, Allan decided to give up his business and sell the Jupiter.A new owner, new registration then followed in 2015, who commissioned a full rebuild. The body-off restoration and respray was carried out by T W Brotherton of Blockley. A new wiring loom and instruments were then installed. Its final refurbishment was carried out by Irntam that included new braking and cooling system, running gear and interior. In November 2017, the Mk. II Jupiter, the ‘model that Jowett never built’ was put on display at the NEC Classic Motor Show. In 2019, MB Restorations re-built the engine and all mechanicals were overhauled, including brakes, clutch, ignition system, bespoke radiator and water pump, new custom fuel tank and pump. Finally, in 2020, the interior of the car was fitted out in a beautiful green leather and new Michelin 550HR16s were fitted in June 2020. The car was sold in May 2021 to the current vendor, who has had a lot of fun with it, driving it locally in Kent, participating in local events and it had pride of place as the bride and groom’s wheels from church to reception last summer. There is a full history file, including many photographs, of works and maintenance through to 2022. The car was one of 60 featured in By Jupiter! A magazine of the Jupiter owners club, Edition number 4 2022, 60th anniversary issue.This is a very pretty British sportscar indeed, Jowetts were always different and quirky and this little roadster encompasses everything you might hope to find in a fifties' sportscar. This is a unique opportunity to own and drive the physical incarnation of the dreams and aspirations of those enthusiastic young draughtsmen who toiled away in the Jowett drawing office some seven decades ago and close the final chapter in the story of the Jowett Car Company. The car is featured in the following publications.Jowett Javelin and Jupiter, Geoff McAuley and Edmund Nankievel,2003, p146-147The Jowett Jupiter, Edmund Nankievel, 2016, P139 

1977 TVR 3000M Transmission: manualMileage:38341When they arrived on the scene in the early 1970s, the M-Series cars were a bold step forward for TVR, despite being an evolution of the Vixen and Tuscan models that preceded them. The first M-Car to go on sale was the Triumph powered 2500M in 1972, but it was soon followed by the Ford-engined 1600M and 3000M, the latter of which had the V6 ‘Essex’ engine from the Ford Capri. By then, the car had evolved further and had an all-new multi-tube chassis, despite its traditional looks. Otherwise, it carried on the front mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout that had been used in its predecessors, and continued the fibreglass body-on-frame construction that made their production so flexible.This wonderful example was subject to a previous restoration and as such,  presents very well indeed. Offered in blue coachwork over an ivory leather and walnut interior, there are just a few minor blemishes to the paintwork and interior. In very good running and driving condition, this TVR sounds fantastic when on song and is reported by the vendor to drive as it should. Offered with a sizeable history file which includes many sundry bills, the most recent of which was for new valve guides fitted in 2019 at a cost of £711, many old MoT test certificates, the current V5C registration document and an original TVR handbook. This is a very nice example and is ready to be enjoyed by its new custodian.

1974 Jaguar E-Type Series III Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:103199The Jaguar E-Type was ten years old and in need of a new lease of life. History repeated itself when Jaguar debuted its robust V12 engine in a sportscar instead of the saloon for which it was designed. Despite its sportscar heritage, Jaguar depended on saloon vehicles for its survival and had developed the twelve-cylinder engine to power them with sufficient torque and refinement. Larger and softer in nature and with weight redistributed 53/47, the Series III had lost the wilds of its youth but gained the long-legged touring profile to which it was arguably better suited. Robert Bell in Motor was quoted as saying at the time that 'all we expected to try was a new engine, but what in fact we drove was a new car. Not a yowling, aggressive Ferrari-like machine with which, perhaps, most people associate a V12 engine, but a very smooth, quiet and refined grand touring sports car'.Originally supplied by British Leyland, New York, in April 1974 where it had two owners before being returned to the UK in 1997 when it was converted to right hand drive. This automatic example of the Series III E-Type roadster is presented with gleaming red paintwork and black trim. Boasting a pampered garaged life over the past 26 years, since its sale in 1997 the car has had just one previous owner and in 2011 completed a full body restoration including new or refurbished chrome.The engine was rebuilt alongside the brakes and suspension, a new radiator and cooling system was added, and carburettors rebuilt, all to full UK specification including yellow indicators, no side wing lights and correct chrome over-riders. New carpet adorns the interior, including the boot trim and the seat covers and roof were replaced in 1997 with little over 5,000 miles covered since. All five wheels have recently been refurbished by Tudor Wheels and shod in new Dunlop Sport tyres.This matching numbers example boasts original features including original side sill weld spots, all original glass, original build stickers and identity plaque coupled to original spare wheel sound proofing. Supplied with a huge history file including a Heritage Certificate and nearly £30,000 of receipts including a recent service at a classic Jaguar specialist which included a new exhaust system, radiator and carburettor tune. The perfect combination of drivability and E-Type styling, this Series III is begging to be driven and enjoyed all while prices for Series III E-Types are on the rise. 

1965 Amphicar 770 Transmission: manualMileage:14620The Amphicar is an amphibious vehicle, designed by Hans Trippel and manufactured by the Quandt Group in Lübeck and Berlin-Borsigwalde. The Amphicar was designed to be marketed and sold in the USA; compared to most boats or cars, its performance was modest, resulting in less than 4,000 being produced between 1961 and 1968. Nevertheless, it is still among the most successful amphibious civilian vehicles of all time and is still often prized and preserved as a novelty collectible automobile today. From the front the appearance of the under-surface is slightly pointed and sharply cut away; the wheels are set low, ensuring that the vehicle stands well above ground level when on dry land. Front and rear bumpers are placed low on the body panels and the water propulsion is provided by twin propellers mounted under the rear bumper. Power was supplied by the 1147cc engine from the Triumph Herald; the Amphicar engine had a power output of 43hp. Referred to as the ‘Model 770’, the Amphicar could achieve speeds of seven knots in the water and 70mph on land.This left hand drive example was made for the European market and has been retained in a private collection for over 20 years. Believed to be one of only eight Amphicars in the UK, it was restored a number of years ago and is finished in Eau-De-Nil with a white vinyl roof and black interior. We are advised by the vendor that this Amphicar 770 should arrive at auction with a new battery and in running order, however it will require further restoration especially to the rear of the car where a few leaks have been detected. It was used to tow the under-16 Namibian Ski Champion as part of a publicity campaign 10 years ago. The vehicle was first registered on 11th January 1965 and is supplied with the original buff logbook, together with some previous MoT test certificates (the last one expired in 2004) and some interesting newspaper articles featuring LMV 7C. These immensely entertaining car/boats are hard to find and generate huge interest on land or water. One Amphicar owner was quoted saying ‘We like to think of it as the fastest car on the water and the fastest boat on the road.’ The ideal viewing platform for next year’s Henley Regatta!

2013 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Transmission: manualMileage:63473The Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W204) is the third generation of the C-Class and was introduced on 18th January 2007 at the Geneva Motor Show. The C63 AMG is reportedly the first AMG-Mercedes designed from the ground-up. Its AMG C-Class predecessors had essentially featured bolt on performance modifications, and according to Car and Driver these earlier AMG models suffered from understeer and heavy steering. The C63 AMG has a revised front suspension that is shared with the CLK 63 AMG Black Series. The C63 AMG also has the quickest, most responsive steering of any Mercedes automobile to date. The Mercedes-Benz M156 engine, provides the C63 AMG with more horsepower and torque over its direct rivals such as the Audi RS4 and BMW M3, offering a 0-60 mph time of 3.9 seconds.Originally registered on 17th May 2013 this beautiful C63 is finished in Pearl White with black leather trim. The rear wheel arches have been widened by 90mm and the rear axle extended. The car has been Stage 1 remapped and now produces 507 bhp with improved gear changes. A carbon front spoiler has been fitted as well as a F1 carbon defuser. Under door lighting has been fitted which is generally only found on the Black Series range. This is clearly a very well cared for and much loved example, presenting in excellent condition. Seven services have been carried out, the first five by main dealers and latterly by marque specialists, the last service was carried out on 25th January 2023. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate, together with a history folder. This C63 AMG is very versatile, offering blistering performance (where permitted) or sitting in traffic, whatever happens it will put a smile on your face.

1968 Jaguar 340 Transmission: manualMileage:47409Synonymous with the swinging 60s and the hit TV Series Inspector Morse, the Mk. II was undoubtedly the most admired Saloon to emanate from Jaguar's hallowed Browns Lane factory. Featuring notably slimmer roof pillars than its Mk. I predecessor, the immortal Mk. II was as airy on the inside as it was elegant on the outside. The interior was quintessentially British with its sumptuous leather-covered seats, polished wood facia and door cappings, extensive instrumentation and impressive row of auxiliary toggle switches. These cars punched well above their weight. Equipped with either a 3.4 or 3.8 litre engine, the Jaguar was capable of sprinting to 60mph in as little as 8.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 125mph, small wonder that it was the first choice of both bank robbers and the police of the period!This manual example is beautifully presented in Warwick Grey with Dark Blue Ambla interior, set off superbly by the chrome wire wheels. The odometer reads an astonishingly low mileage of 47,409 miles which appears to be correct given the large folder of old MoT test certificates and invoices for work accompanying the car, also present is the official, stamped Jaguar Heritage Certificate. From new, this Jaguar was fitted with the desirable full length Webasto sunroof and as well as a spare wire wheel it comes with the original and complete toolkit along with an original handbook. This stunning classic has undergone continuous restorative work including the replacement of all engine seals and gaskets with the engine removed and a new timing chain fitted, new gearbox and mounting assembly, new clutch assembly, replacement sub frame front mountings, all in November 2020. This car also had a complete paint refresh in 2021, and most recently underwent further work on the rear differential and a complete service. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and although exempt by age an MoT test certificate valid until June 2023. Originally manufactured in 1968 and, we believe, registered in the Channel Islands before being brought to the UK in 1986, this magnificent Jaguar has been enjoyed buy its present owner who has decided to offer it for sale to simply reduce his portfolio of classic cars. Given the way the car drives and looks it's hard to believe that this classic Jaguar is 54 years old.

1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint (Tipo 750 B) Transmission: manualMileage:1022The classic carrozzeria, Bertone, is known globally as one foremost Italian design houses, and rightly so. The Giulietta Sprint coupé, designed by Franco Scaglione was launched at the 1954 Turin Motor Show. Hand-built by Alfa Romeo, these elegant sporting coupes used a twin cam, straight-four aluminium engine, a crossflow cylinder head and double overhead camshafts with twin timing chains.According to the Alfa Romeo ‘Certificato Di Origine’, this totally restored example is a matching numbers car and was manufactured on 23rd December 1958 and delivered to New York on 10th February 1959. It remained in the USA and was last registered in Indiana before being sold to Dutch dealer Union Jack B.V Vintage Cars in Oldensaal, Holland in October 2015.It was subsequently sold to a collector in Poland in 2016 who commissioned a total rebuild of the car to what can only be described as 'concours standard’. The car was acquired from the owner in Poland and imported to the UK in 2022 and, interestingly, Alfa Romeo restoration specialists here confirm it’s exceptional restoration and condition and remarked that it is one of the best examples they have seen. The attention to detail is outstanding with parts from Classic Alfa alone totalling over £6,000 and a photo album containing well over 150 photograph's of the car during the restoration process. The owner also complied two large folders of the car which includes many invoices and documents plus the Alfa Romeo Certificato Di Origine and three original Giulietta parts files. Also included is a flash drive which accompanies the paperwork showing the full bare-metal process which will ensure its future for years to come. It has recently been fully UK registered with an age-related registration, 12-month MoT test certificate and history file.  

1990 Porsche 911 / 964 Carrera 4 Cabriolet Transmission: manualMileage:89894Known internally as the 964, Porsche's new generation 911 debuted in 1989 and was available in two (Carrera 2) and four-wheel drive (Carrera 4) guises with its familiar silhouette clothing a radically revamped platform. Boasting a drag coefficient of just 0.32 thanks to its deeper bumpers, smoother sills and flatter floorpan, high-speed stability was maintained by a self-deploying rear spoiler which rose above 48mph. Powered by an extensively reworked 3.6 litre air-cooled flat-six equipped with twin spark plugs per cylinder and a re-mapped Bosch Motronic fuel injection, the 964 claimed an impressive 250bhp and 229lbft of torque. Fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard, most variants were reputed to be capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds with a top speed of over 160mph.Originally registered on 1st January 1990 this Porsche 964 presents exceedingly well in Guards Red with black leather interior. The current vendor is a very fastidious and knowledgeable Porsche enthusiast. He keeps his cars in a secure dry garage and throughout his tenure has only used the car in the summer months and never in inclement weather. We are advised this 911 drives with no known faults and has been regularly maintained. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a fresh MoT test certificate, together with the original service wallet, spare keys, toolkit and history folder. The bodywork is in good order throughout as is the interior. The 3.6 litre engine runs smoothly and the five-speed gearbox operates as it should, the legendary Porsche build quality can be seen throughout this motorcar. The 964’s are becoming increasingly sought-after, particularly manual versions and this represents one of the most accessible on the market today.

1959 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia 1200 Lowlight Transmission: manualMileage:99151The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia combined the chassis and mechanicals of the Type 1 Beetle, with styling by Italy's Carrozzeria Ghia and handbuilt bodywork by German coachbuilding house Karmann. More than 445,000 Karmann Ghia’s were produced in Germany over the cars production life, not including the Type 34 variant.This type 14 Karmann Ghia ‘lowlight’ is a stylish classic 2+2 coupé, offered in the subdued, yet appealing, hue of Agave Green with pale green vinyl and grey cloth interior. Powered by the numbers matching, 1.2 litre, flat-four, coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox. The original purchase invoice issued on 3rd June 1959 from Merryweather’s Volkswagen in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa is still with the vehicle. The car then remained in the same family until 2019 and has now been in the possession of its current UK based keeper for three years. Apart from a repaint, this car is in extremely original condition. The vendor believed 95% of the correct original nuts and bolts are still fitted to the car and states the body has never been removed from the chassis.The interior of the car, although it shows some discolouration from age and use, is mostly in great original condition. It has its original 1959 steering wheel, the vinyl is still taught on the cards and panels and the door pockets are as new having retained their elasticity and not stretched. The front carpets were replaced with charcoal versions however, the rear carpets and trunk area are still the original tan German square weave. Importantly, the heater channels which normally rust are all solid and the original 1200 engine runs beautifully and is very reliable. We are informed the car recently completed a 1,600km trip over ten days without a hiccup. Apart from basic service parts and oil changes the motor has not been changed or modified at all, however a recent in-depth overhaul of the suspension and braking system with a number of rubber seals having been replaced is detailed in the paperwork. The car maintains the original six-volt electrical system with generator and rides on a set of steel wheels with Volkswagen branded polished hub caps.The originality continues with original Sekurit glass, windscreen and all windows. Original spare key with very rare factory key tag, original Bilstein jack and tool roll with tools. The history file shows the original South African registration certificate, early road licenses up to 1961, various change of ownership documentation and original brochures and dealer pamphlets. This Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is a characterful classic coupé, featuring re-sprayed Agave Green paintwork and offered in solid, unmodified condition. Having been cherished by the same family until 2019, it has since been imported to the UK from South Africa, and would make a good, usable companion to its next owner, with the potential to become a particularly impressive example with some relatively minor cosmetic restoration work.*Interested parties should note that this vehicle is not currently sold with a V5 registration document. However, one has been applied for by the vendor with the DVLA and should arrive in due course.Guide Price £20,000 - £28,000

1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS (350ci) Transmission: manualMileage:947The truly outstanding vehicle offered here is an original matching numbers 350ci, four-speed manual Camaro, built in the GM factory in Antwerp, Belgium. It was picked from the production line by a senior manager to be his private vehicle. He had the engine blue printed and balanced before it was then put into the car. The present owner has had the vehicle for 15 years and for the 18 years prior, it was in the ownership of a close friend who, eventually, after much negotiating agreed to sell it to him. With the current owner, who is the proprietor of a car restoration company, the ‘no expense spared’ restoration was handled entirely in-house.This example was originally sold by Historics in 2018 having been entered by a prominent American car restorer and had been subject to one of the most comprehensive restorations we have seen with over 800 hours spent on the bodywork and paint alone. Presented in the correct Chevrolet Granada Gold with the black sides, a tribute to famed Chevrolet driver Smokey Yunick who raced in these colours; the car had covered just 37,000 miles from new and with the engine being an original matching numbers item, it had had a full rebuild with a Weiand manifold and Holley Avenger carburettor. The matching numbers four-speed Muncie gearbox has also been completely rebuilt and draws its power from the engine via the original skimmed flywheel and new clutch assembly. The rear axle is the original factory installed 12 bolt postreaction unit also with the correct code stamps. The front suspension clip and bodyshell, which sits on 17†five-spoke wheels and tyres, are stamped with the correct numbers, the factory Gold ‘deluxe’ interior is described as stunning.Purchased by our vendor to form part of his growing collection, it has covered a mere 947 miles since its restoration and has remained garaged with only show appearances since. This is a very exciting car to drive, the power steering and brakes combined with the power of the engine make it a real treat and with so few miles since the ‘money-no-object’ restoration, it can certainly be considered a special example that can be purchased at a fraction of the cost of its meticulous restoration.

1997 Caterham Super 7 ‘40th Anniversary’ Transmission: manualMileage:6247“There is little doubt that these cars are, pound-for-pound, the most fun you can have with your clothes on.†This hackneyed phrase is understandably well used for the simple reason that it is true. This writer has built them, owned them, driven them and raced them, none particularly well but smiles, oh yes. They also occupy their own spot in motoring history, not only for their relationship with ‘The Prisoner’ tv series, their wheels reflected here and shod in Michelin Pilot 195/50 R15 tyres, but also with no significant pause in production since 1957.But some are more collectable than others and, after 40 exciting years, it was time to celebrate. This special edition, including the original owner’s manual, fully stamped service manual (including recent cambelt change), was offered to just 67 lucky customers with cars all painted in a distinctive ruby pearlescent paint with a silver bonnet stripe and black coachline to give the Anniversary 7 a unique finish including a dash-mounted plaque detailing each car. Engines and general specification vary of course, this example carries the powerful Rover K-Series fuel-injected 1.6 litre engine mated to a five-speed gearbox and pushing out 115bhp at 6,000rpm. Impressive when the car weighs so little. Also included is the original order, the original invoices including all the extra’s such as the Supersport Package, stanchion mounted mirrors, wind deflectors, external 4-1 race exhaust, quick-release leather steering wheel, four-point safety harnesses, wind deflector package and bespoke tonneau cover. Performance and exclusivity, a heady cocktail.

1991 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet Transmission: manualMileage:91341The Porsche 944 was built from 1982 to 1991 and was built on the same platform as the 924. The 944 was intended to last into the 1990s but major revisions planned for a 944 S3 model were eventually rolled into the 968 instead which replaced the 944. The 944 was a successful model and was available as both a coupé and cabriolet in naturally aspirated and turbocharged forms. In mid-1985, the Porsche 944 underwent significant changes. These included a new dashboard together with new door panels, embedded radio antenna as well as some mechanical changes. Also included was a larger fuel tank, optional heated and powered seats, Porsche Hi-Fi sound system and revisions in the mounting of the transaxle to reduce noise and vibration. The numbers built, reflecting the popularity of the model, made it one of the most successful cars in Porsche's history.This excellent S2 944 cabriolet was owned by an older gentleman for most of the past fifteen years. Latterly however, he was struggling to get in and out of the car and as a result was using it less and less. His son, a mechanic, had maintained the car for him and kept it in good working order from when he acquired the car in 2007 through until the vendor purchased it at the beginning of 2021. Showing a total of 14 stamps in the service book, the last service, (April 2021 at AVS, Ltd, with all parts supplied by Design 911 Ltd), included the important cambelt service. The invoice shows that this service included the replacement of the cambelt idler roller, tensioner roller, belt idler, power steering belt and cam cover gasket. The vendor, one of his businesses being a bodyshop, noticed the very early signs of rust on the usual spots for the 944 in the corners of the lower wings. Whilst barely noticeable, a perfectionist, he decided that they should all be repaired using new metal, repainted and re-stonechipped. The rest of the car is in as good condition, with the engine bay very clean and the boot interior unmarked. The blue interior is in good order and the car runs and drives very well with the hood raising and lowering without issue. The car also benefits from a new battery and has its original and very rare hood cover included.Supplied with its correct and original leather handbooks, service booklet, V5C registration document and new MoT test certificate valid through until February 2023, this lovely example is a well presented and unmodified 944 S2 with a total use of less than 11,000 miles recorded in the last 15 years.
