1980 Triumph TR8 Convertible Transmission: automaticMileage:27276Offered here is an original and very rare right hand drive, automatic example which was used by British Leyland as the factory demonstrator. Built to US specification the TR8 is fitted with a low compression engine for unleaded petrol and a Lucas electronic fuel injection system. Previously owned by Rex Holford, known to most in several associated car clubs simply as 'Mr TR8', who acquired the car in February 1987 and set about an extensive restoration over the next few years. This included a complete bare metal respray in its original colour of Platinum Silver and a refitted blue velour interior trim.This example is offered with an extremely rare specification as only 16 cars were fitted with automatic gearboxes and fuel injection. Additionally, air conditioning was factory fitted, as befitted a car designed for California. This Triumph carries engine number 15E0002 (the lowest known in that series). The other 15 automatic examples were left hand drive cars and shipped to the west coast of America. In total some 2,800 TR8s were built - the bulk of which were left hand drive cars exported to North America. There were less than 36 factory built right hand drive examples, and of these just four came with automatic transmission, making this a superb opportunity to acquire an important part of Triumph's history.Rex Holford was the TR Drivers Club TR8 archivist after having been the TR8 Registrar for many years and was very well known in TR8 circles in both the UK and abroad. He helped organise five TR8 days over the past 25 years (July 2023 will see another one at Gaydon, in his memory) gathering factory built TR8s from across Europe. His website, www.tr8archive.co.uk, remains a testament to his knowledge and passion for the marque. One could consider this vehicle to be his legacy.In 2021 the TR8 was treated to further mechanical work including an extensive engine rebuild and a complete gearbox overhaul. All work was carried out to a very high standard by renowned TR8 restoration and service specialists, Crucial Automatics. Included in the work was a full engine detailing and new Ethanol proof fuel hoses (to prevent E10 degradation). Having covered very few miles since the engine rebuild the appropriate care should be taken when running the new engine in, over the next 500 miles.

2011 Piaggio Vespa PX125 Transmission: manualMileage:13136The Vespa has evolved from a single model motor scooter manufactured in 1946 by Piaggio & Co. of Pontedera, Italy. Designed by Renzo Spolti and Vittorio Casini and known as the MP5 (Moto Piaggio no.5). From its inception the Vespa scooter has been known for its painted, pressed steel unibody, which combines a complete cowling for the engine, a flat floorboard and a prominent front fairing. Upon seeing this new design for the first time, Enrico Piaggio exclaimed 'Sembra una Vespa!' (It resembles a wasp). The new scooter had been named. This iconic design has featured in displays at the Guggenheim in New York and the Pompidou centre in Paris.This scooter evokes the heady, sharp suited days of the 60's Mod era. This scooter has been wrapped to give a chrome effect and fitted with the mirrors and flag detailing of a classic Brighton cruiser. Purchased by a private collector in 2018, it has driven one mile since, but has been maintained 'in house' and we are informed that it starts and runs well.We believe that this Vespa featured in Episode Two of the first series of the Simon Callow television drama, The Rebel. We are advised by the HPI check that this scooter is listed as a category C insurance loss and is supplied with a V5 registration document. There is no better way to take a trip down memory lane than on this modern version of a motoring and design icon.
2003 Porsche 911/996 Carrera Targa Transmission: manualMileage:107622The 996 is the internal designation for the 911 model manufactured from 1997 until 2006. It was replaced by the 997 in 2004. The 996 had little in common with its predecessor, with the first all new chassis platform since the original 911 and a new water-cooled engine. Technically, it was a major change, a complete breakthrough from the original car other than the overall layout. At its debut, the 996 featured the most significant change from the classic 911 series: a water-cooled engine replacing the previously air-cooled engine. Progressively stringent emissions and noise regulations, environmental concerns, a higher expectation for refinement and the need for a high-performance four valve per cylinder engine made the switch necessary. Other major changes include a completely new platform having a sleeker body with a more raked windshield, and a re-designed interior along with new 'fried egg' shaped headlamps instead of previous 'bug eye' headlamps. This example of the 996 Carrera Targa is both owned and the daily driver of the proprietor of Porsche Specialists Porsche Torque. As such this car has been maintained regardless of cost and fastidiously since he purchased from one of his customers in early 2019. Originally registered March 2003, this car boasts just four former keepers. From new, the 996 was optioned with Bose sound system, Carrera wheels, PSM, Telephone Module and Parking Assistance - this equates to £3,258 of extras to the original list price of £61,550. In our vendor's stewardship the car has been serviced annually, most recently in August this year. It has had new rads and condensers, new shock absorbers and suspension mounts all round including uprated suspension and a sports exhaust. Treated to a new MoT certificate, what better 911 to buy than the personal car of a specialist who knows of all and any possible requirements for the iconic sports car.
1992 Mazda RX-7 Turbo ConvertibleTransmission: manualMileage:94,772Following the demise of NSU's Ro80, Mazda was left as the only major automobile manufacturer using the Wankel rotary engine. An entire range of rotary-engined models was developed during the 1970s, but by the decade's end the RX-7 sports car was the only one of its type selling in significant numbers outside Japan. Powered by a twin-rotor Wankel of nominally 2.3-litres displacement, the pretty RX-7 coupé had debuted in 1978. Maximum power increased from 105 to 115bhp from 1981 - good enough for a top speed of 125mph, an excellent straight-line performance that the RX-7 combined with handling and grip on a par with European rivals. Restyled for 1986, the RX-7 was given a new, more powerful engine and improved rear suspension at the same time. A turbocharged variant was introduced in 1988, becoming available in convertible form the following year, and with 200bhp on tap was good for 148mph, of which this car is an example.Originally registered on 15th May 1992, this stylish Mazda presents in good all round condition. The red coachwork is in good order, appearing to be largely original and the black interior is in keeping with such a well-cared for example. The engine on this RX-7 was replaced in 2005 when the mileage was 88,000 miles and runs very well with no adverse noises. The hydraulic hood works exactly as it should, however there is a small tear in the rear section of it, however, the fastidious vendor has a new one which will be supplied with the car. It is supplied with a V5 registration document, a current MoT test certificate valid until 18th April 2023 and a very extensive history, including the bookpack which is still in the original wallet. The toolkit is present, including the original wheel chocks. A Mazda RX-7 turbo convertible is surely an emerging classic and what a great way to enjoy those late summer evenings.
1979 Renault 5 Gordini Mk. ITransmission: manual The Renault 5 Alpine was one of the first hot-hatches, launched in 1976 - going on sale two months before the original Volkswagen Golf GTI. The right-hand drive version was shown at the British Motor Show in 1978 and was officially on sale from 4 April 1979 in the UK and was sold as the Renault 5 Gordini because Chrysler Europe already had the rights to the name "Alpine" in the UK. UK launch price was £4149, nearly a third more than the previous top model the TS at £3187, showing the considerable changes to the car over the 64PS TS which could not reach 100 mph compared to the 93PS Gordini which could reach 110 mph. The 1.4 L OHV engine, mated to a five-speed gearbox, was based on the Renault "Sierra" pushrod engine, but having a crossflow cylinder head with hemispherical combustion chambers and developed 92 hp, twice as much as a standard 1108 cc Renault 5. The larger engine and its various performance parts meant that the spare wheel could no longer fit there and was relocated to the boot/trunk. The Alpine could be identified by special alloy wheels and front fog lights and was equipped with stiffened suspension, but still retaining the torsion bar at the rear with added anti-roll bars. Renault quoted a top speed of 110 mph and tested in the July 1979 issue of UK magazine CAR, it achieved a 0-60 mph in 9.7 seconds.First registered 8th August 1979, this rare Silver Mk I Gordini is likely one of the earliest examples of a Mk I still in existence in the UK. Purchased in 2015 complete and as a good runner it was owned by two brothers who took great pride in their cars and loved this 5 dearly. They maintained the car- which could outperform a turbo car in certain situations- impeccably. The seats are very rare, in the original fabric and in fantastic condition, having spent much of their lives having been protected by special seat covers made to protect them and complement the original interior. As with all old Renault 5s it had some bodywork imperfections, therefore our vendor decided to sympathetically restore it, and spent many hours of the restoration determined to keep this car as original as possible- including a sympathetic respray. The decals have been reproduced from originals, wheels have been refurbished and diamond cut, new tyres fitted and it presents as a time warp example. Having been in storage since the restoration was completed and not driven on the road since, it is therefore stunning; but with this in mind, the car would benefit from a check over before it was driven on the road in anger. Simply put, find another… and then find another in this condition with thousands spent in a sympathetic restoration. A true collectors dream and incredibly rare on these shores. Why waste your time with a Mini, when you could have Gordini?Restored sympatheticallyIncredibly rare UK supplied Mk I
1972 AC Aceca Cobra Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:11500Classic cars and, in particular, sports cars evolve continually. Brakes keep up with power; bodywork keeps up with performance and tyres have to keep the whole lot on the road. Some cars just get it right first time and so it was with the AC Ace. The first incarnation being AC engined but latterly Bristol and Ford. It was its slippery shape and already impressive performance that gave Carroll Shelby the idea to import 100 cars and shoehorn V8 units under the bonnet. The first 75 had 260ci power plants with the latter 289ci units culminating in the Mk. III 427SC monsters.In addition to this line up however, there is the Aceca with beautifully sculptured bodywork by John Tojeiro and subsequently refined by Allan Turner. AC cars contracted Tojeiro to design the AC Ace, which was loosely based around his earlier, highly successful, Tojeiro/Bristol sports racing car, this proved popular on both road and track in the UK and abroad. Trevor Legate, author of Cobra: 'The First 40 Years' first knew that AC were casting about for a V8 for their Aceca back in the 1960s. The AC engine was not really cutting it and the Bristol unit was going out of production anyway. Derek Hurlock of AC Cars needed something with a bit more 'bite' but none of the major manufacturers seemed willing to help. The man who finally brought the idea of a V8-powered Aceca to fruition was Werner Oswald, an AC enthusiast living in Switzerland in the early eighties. He owned several ACs with various engines but always harboured a desire to produce the model that the AC factory never got around to.He had a rough 1958 AC Aceca at the time but with no engine or front axle. His brother had an accident damaged AC 428 Frua which did not require any strengthening or modifications to accommodate a big Ford V8. All additional underpinnings were from a Mk. III Cobra with independent double-wishbone and coil over shock absorbers all round, as per the later Mk. III 427SC Cobras.A first-class panel beater was then employed to marry the two units together with Mk. II Cobra-modified wheel arches and Mk. II side vents.Finally, the meat in the sandwich was a 1969 BOSS 302 engine conceived for TransAm and Nascar using a Windsor block and Cleveland big-valve heads and steel crankshaft, conrods and +0.03” pistons. Recently re-built by GT40 specialist Steve Warrior, it was guaranteed to be as quick and useable as any Cobra could be. Intake was through a four-barrel Holley carburettor topped by a 14” K&N air filter with a Mallory distributor assisted by an MSD electronic ignition system. It also included Aeroquip hoses throughout as well as competition cooling pipework and a built-in fire extinguisher system.The Richmond 4+1 was the gearbox of choice offering five forward gears and able to channel the 400+bhp through to the road and able to supply both the searing acceleration and flexible, unstressed cruising performance. Werner Oswald finished it in 1982 using it for about two years in Switzerland and another two in the UK.16 years ago, the vendor and racing driver of some note with Le Mans Cobra and Lola T70 wins to his name, acquired the Aceca and set about a bare aluminium repaint in its original Cunningham racing colours of Wimbledon White paintwork with twin blue racing stripes. And rightly so for this is no retiring angel. The interior has been retrimmed with a contrasting blue Connolly leather, Wilton carpets and bucket seats as well a classic AC Ace/Aceca dashboard yet the central gear-lever, with its Hurst Shifter, is pure Cobra.This author is reliably informed that it drives and performs exactly like a Mk. III Cobra with precise handling and a smooth and even power delivery right across the band. The main difference, of course, is that this has been meticulously put together internally but the lightest of touches with your right foot will quickly remind you this is no transcontinental cruiser. This Aceca Cobra ticks so many boxes, has the history to match and has been put together so well and regardless of cost, it really does represent the car that AC should have built. It represents such an important point in History that it caught the eye of noted podcaster, Petrol Ped and he spent a happy afternoon with cameras in the Sussex countryside reviewing the car, it's build and performance. He seemed to enjoy himself!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1VTApO8MGEInterested parties should note that this lot comes complete with a full set of the original wire wheels plus a set of five Minilite items, four with fitted Avon tyres the 5th bare.
1990 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible Transmission: automaticMileage:1147791975 saw the launch of the Jaguar XJS. In a year that Margaret Thatcher was made the leader of the Conservative Party and petrol was 70p/gallon, the new grand tourer from Jaguar was introduced as the replacement for the iconic E-Type. During an astonishing build run of 21 years, 115,413 units were produced by the Coventry manufacturer at their world famous Browns Lane factory. V12 engine cars were unusual at the time with notable exceptions coming from Italian luxury sports car makers Lamborghini and Ferrari. The specifications of the XJS compared well with both Italian cars; it was able to accelerate to 60mph in 7.6 seconds and had a top speed of 143mph. The XJS model was available until production ceased in 1996. This lovely 1990 Jaguar XJS convertible is showing 114,779 miles on the odometer, finished in the classic colour of British Racing Green over a contrasting pale green leather interior, and benefits from the desirable Lattice alloy wheels. Included in the file are previous MoT test certificates, maintenance invoices, a current MoT test certificate valid until 25th April 2023 and the original service and workshop booklets. Also present is the original toolkit and the spare wheel. A nicely presented example of the flagship 5.3 litre V12 XJS, which has established itself as a most worthy, latter-day, classic.Presented to auction with a V5C registration document and including the cherished number plate KIW 5199.This Jaguar is offered without reserve.Interested parties please note this car has developed a coolant leak and which will need attention before it can be driven.
2006 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano F1 Transmission: paddleMileage:35000The 599's engine is derived directly from the Ferrari Enzo, which, just a few years earlier, had been acclaimed as the company's most technologically advanced supercar ever. The GTB can sprint from 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds and the six-litre, V12 can produce 620bhp at 7,600rpm bringing the car to a speed of 205mph. Its acceleration was faster than the Enzo and even faster than the McLaren F1, partly in thanks to its superb traction control which was initially developed for the Scuderia's Formula One cars. Like its cousin, the F430, the 599 was the second Ferrari to wear the now trademark 'il manettino' dial on the steering wheel. This dial, with its name translating to 'little lever', features five settings to adjust the traction damper settings and to monitor the throttle mapping. This gives the driver the option of having both a docile driver-friendly car or a race set-up with breath-taking performance. Like all modern Ferraris, the 599 is just as luxurious as it is fast. The interior is spacious and comfortable with incredible attention to detail being paid throughout. Carbon fibre and aluminium are utilised on the dash, which features Enzo-styled instruments and a complex LCD display that allows the driver to access a multitude of settings and in-car information. The seats, developed by Recaro, are multi-functional and have adjustable pneumatic support for the passengers' hips and ribs, to provide a tight grip during high-speed road or circuit driving.This lovely, UK supplied, right hand drive Ferrari 599 GTB was first registered in December 2006. Finished in Grigio Silverstone Metallic it was supplied with a number of options including: Daytona style, full electric sports seats in Nero leather, carbon steering wheel, carbon dash top and seat bases, Nero leather headliner, Nero leather rear parcel shelf, BOSE HiFi system, Cascade Telematic navigation system, iPod connection and electrochromic internal mirror. The equipment to the exterior of the car includes carbon brakes, yellow brake calipers, 20inch Monolitic wheels, rear parking sensors and 'Scuderia Ferrari' wing shields.Having only covered 35,000 miles from new, it has a full-service history with fifteen service stamps in the book from Ferrari main dealers- the last service recently been carried out by Greypaul Ferrari Edinburgh. This very good Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano F1 is supplied with a V5 registration document, a MoT test certificate which expires in May 2023 and the service book pack. This is an outstanding and sensibly priced 599 which would make a great entry to the amazing world of front engined, V12, two seat Ferraris.

1979 Austin Mini Transmission: Mileage:90110The Mini was manufactured by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original is considered a British icon of the 1960s and its space-saving front-wheel drive layout, allowing 80% of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage, influenced a generation of car makers. In 1999, the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century behind the Ford Model T. Initially Minis were marketed under the Austin and Morris names until Mini became a marque in its own right in 1969. The Mini was again marketed under the Austin name in the 1980s and was offered in a number of limited editions that usually included a special combination of trim and badging.Presented in red this is clearly a cherished example of the Mini 1000. Ideal for an entry level classic or indeed Mini enthusiasts this car has been sympathetically upgraded with bucket seats, full retrim, modern stereo and sports steering wheel to the interior. In addition, Cooper stripes and Monte Carlo style fog lamps, flared arches and mini lite wheels have been added to the exterior. The engine has also been well looked after, with all this leading the car to be a local show winner on multiple occasions, beating many more exotic cars on display. Offered with a new MoT test certificate, in splendid order this racy looking example is sure to be very popular.Guide Price £10,000 - £15,000
1975 Range Rover ‘Suffix D’Transmission: Manual Right from the beginning, the Range Rover represented something of a lifestyle movement. Although considered rudimentary by today’s standards, the ‘Suffix A’ was billed as a ‘Four-In-One’ car. It was a luxury car, a performance car, an estate and, of course, a cross-country car. They were launched with the ubiquitous Rover V8 engine which delivered 135bhp but, more importantly, 185lb/ft of torque. Various improvements were made through the suffixes (A-F) with the 1976 suffix D benefitting from improved carburettors, interior lighting in the headlining and more luxurious carpeting on the transmission tunnel. This ‘D’ suffix two-door Range Rover was delivered new to its new owner through Crabtree and Nicol Ltd of Doncaster in January 1975. This spectacular example has recently undergone a total 1,000+ hour, nut and bolt restoration costing in excess of £70,000. The running gear has been stripped and rebuilt using new parts as required. Fitted with up rated springs and shock absorbers, an electronic ignition and SU carburettors. The bodywork has been stripped, repaired, or replaced as found necessary and the interior has been fully retrimmed and restored to near original specification. The bodywork is painted in its original colour of Masai Red and is finished to a very high standard. The body frame, panels and chassis have been fully treated with anti-corrosion coatings to further extend the service life of this wonderful car. The vehicle is now absolutely superb, representing all that it became famous for when first manufactured. These were undoubtedly the best 4X4 produced, creating a vehicle where the occupants felt at home on a farm, in a field, or indeed heading out for a night out! Fully restored Range Rovers such as this come with a significant waiting list and are highly sought after, and this superb one in Masai Red is available to be driven away now -although we should note having only covered 7 miles on the road since its completion, this vehicle will require running-in-… It is surely a wonderful investment which could be either kept as part of a collection or used as daily mode of transport.Incredible full ‘nut and bolt’ restored exampleCirca £70,000 restoration billOriginal matching numbers Suffix D
2018 Porsche 911 / 991 GT3 TouringThe seventh generation of Porsche's perennial 911 sports car was designated 'Type 991', succeeding the Type 997. Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2011, the Type 991 is only the third all-new platform for the 911 since the original of 1963, the second being the Type 996 of 1999. Porsche's signature 'flat-six' engine was available in three different capacities in the Type 991 (3.4-liters, 3.8-liters, and 4.0-liters) with power outputs ranging from the entry-level Carrera's 345bhp up to the Turbo S's 552 horsepower. Following its established practice, Porsche also offered Cabriolet, Targa, GT3 and GT3 RS variants to cater for all customer demands ranging from soft-top boulevard cruiser to track-day assault weapon. In September 2015, the Type 991 was introduced in revised and restyled form for the 2016 model year, becoming the '991.2' in factory parlance. To the concern of some traditionalists, turbo-charged engines were now standardised throughout the range. The purists did not have to wait long for their concerns to be assuaged, as in March 2016 at the Geneva Motor Show Porsche unveiled the limited edition 911 R, featuring the 'old' GT3 RS's normally aspirated 4.0-litre 493bhp engine and a new six-speed manual gearbox. Extensive changes were made to the engine allowing a 9,000 rpm redline from the 4.0-liter flat-six engine. Porsche's focus was on reducing internal friction to improve throttle response. The 991.2 GT3 brought back the choice between a manual transmission or PDK dual clutch transmission. A Touring version was also introduced which came standard with the comfort package and the manual transmission along with the deletion of the fixed rear wing and employing an electronically operated rear wing instead.This UK registered example presented in Fashion Grey offers an incredible 588 miles from new. Presented as new in the rarer Touring specification, this example is in collector condition and very desirable.Incredible low mileage exampleDesirable, 6-speed manual shift, high-performance 4.0-Liter 991.2 GT3
2013 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta Transmission: automaticMileage:23834The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is Ferrari's replacement for the 599 GTB, and the company threw everything at it to ensure it is vastly quicker than its seminal predecessor, but also that it's more enjoyable at low speeds. It claimed to be both GT and supercar, mixing front-engined packaging and civility with exotic, F1-inspired dynamic ability. Considerably smaller, 70kg lighter at 1525kg, it also produces more downforce and has a much lower centre-of-gravity. Prices started from £239,352.The V12 is similar in size to Ferrari FF's engine but significantly re-engineered to produce more power, rev higher and to ensure much quicker throttle response. It produces an almost unbelievable 730bhp at 8250rpm (it revs to 8700rpm) and 509lb ft at 6000rpm. All that is transmitted via a 7-speed dual clutch transaxle and Ferrari's E-Diff - the 599 made do with a single clutch and a normal mechanical limited slip differential. The results are startling: 0-62mph in 3.1-seconds, 0-124mph in 8.5-seconds and a top speed of over 211mph. Those acceleration figures put it ahead of a McLaren F1. Around Fiorano it's faster than an Enzo or even the ultra-extreme 599 GTO.First registered 9th August 2013, this stunning Ferrari F12 Berlinetta has been finished in Rosso Scuderia with optional 20 wheels complete with yellow brake calipers. This example includes AFS system, black outer mirror inserts, Scuderia Ferrari shields, internal and external electrochromic mirrors, as well as rear parking camera. This example also includes charcoal grey leather/alcantara interior, horse stitched on headrests, Cinture Rot coloured seatbelts, Rosso contrast stitching, cruise control and NavTrak Anti-Theft system.This three former keeper example has been serviced annually by its private owner and is offered for sale with the private plate F12 SMX. With the engine powering this F12 a 6.2L V12, which produces 730bhp, providing a 0-60mph time of just 3.1 seconds, you will not be lacking for an adrenaline shot under your right foot! Although in this condition, the F12 looks just as good sat still as it does at its 211 mph top speed.
1987 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Transmission: automaticMileage:20994The Mercedes-Benz R107 SL model was launched in 1971 and continued a tradition of two-door sports tourers from the world famous German manufacturer that dates back to 1954. The car featured a two-door monocoque bodyshell with independent all-round suspension. The success and popularity of the model is borne out by the 237,287 units that were produced during the cars impressive 18 year build run. This stunning example of the facelift 300 SL is presented in Ivory with beige MB Tex trim, Mercedes-Benz's extremely durable alternative to leather, and looks new. This example recently inspected by the SLSHOP was supplied new with optional extras including electric windows, rear seats, paint work protection, heat insulating glass and a contrasting dark brown hood. Boasting just three owners from new and a low mileage of just 60,000. Within the original wallet we find the owner's manual and 11 service stamps coupled with invoices throughout the 1990s and 2000s. The 300 with its 3.0 litre straight-six engine has long been seen to be the best combination of power and drivability for the R107, and this example comes with the added comfort of being inspected and maintained by the country's leading Mercedes-Benz SL specialist. A unique, low mileage example with years of enjoyment potential. A fine machine in all round excellent condition.
1966 Ford Mustang Fastback Transmission: manualMileage:78424The Ford Mustang was the brainchild of Lee Lacocca and was branded as the first 'Pony Car', borne out of a need to compete with the flood of European sports cars coming into the USA in the sixties. The first production Mustang rolled off the assembly line in Dearborn, Michigan on 9th March 1964 and was introduced to the public at the New York World's Fair on 17th April 1964.Registered new in 1966, this superb looking example has more recently been imported to the UK in 2019. Since being imported the Mustang has been part of a private classic car collection where it has been treated to an extensive restoration. The coachwork was completely stripped and repainted and the interior was renewed. The engine was also fully inspected, and a comprehensive top end engine rebuild was completed, as such the Mustang presents in excellent condition and drives very well indeed. Fitted with desirable upgrades including an aluminium radiator and disc brakes at the front, the vendor reports the Mustang sounds fantastic when on song and drives very well indeed! One of the best we have seen, the Fastback is offered with a history file documenting the restoration, various sundry invoices, and the current UK registration document. We are sure it will be keenly contested at auction.
1933 Pierce Arrow 836 Club Brougham Two-Door Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:56300While the Pierce-Arrow became one of the most prestigious automobiles available, their beginnings were humble. Bicycles first, as with many firms of note, but by the turn of the century, steam cars broke through using De Dion engines. The cars became bigger and moved over to the internal combustion engine culminating in the Great Arrow that helped gain Pierce its reputation by winning the first five Glidden Tours, a reliability trial of 1,100 miles whilst still aiming firmly at the wealthy end of the marketplace. President Taft was the first US President to use one for official occasions with Roosevelt following the trend and many more to come.Throughout WWI, the Pierce-Arrow commercial line was busy turning out two and five-ton trucks ordered in their hundreds by both the French and English governments. Post-war, production resumed although the attention to detail remained the same. Controlling interest of the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company was then purchased by the Studebaker Corporation in 1928. While the two companies maintained independent, Pierce-Arrow's future was now influenced by its new major stockholder.Registered in 1933 and built in Buffalo, USA, this 836 two-door Club Brougham, the name taken from Lord Brougham-designed horse-driven coach. With just four owners throughout its 89 years, all of which have been traced throughout its extensive history file, its long-term membership of the Pierce Arrow Society has been recorded over time, a club famous for its meticulous database of cars and their owners.The car's 56,300 recorded mileage is documented and correct and the overall condition is exceptional with numerous wins at various car shows. Power comes from a flat-head, straight eight-cylinder engine with a two-stage carburettor an advanced & retarred choke with a three-speed manual gearbox and freewheel. This can also just the use of the clutch on first gear only if required and benefits from a four-wheel parking brake. An enlarged carburettor has been fitted allowing the engine to run good and cool alongside a new starter motor and refurbished gearbox and examination of clutch. The carburettor has been overhauled with work carried out by specialists, Overton's.This hugely elegant and imposing American classic sits on brand new whitewall tyres with the steering, linkage and each wheel professionally balanced. A damper has been fitted to the steering wheel and the electrics are now operated by twin six-volt Optima batteries with an isolation switch and charging points for maintenance trickle chargers. The original exhausts have also been copied and replaced by stainless steel items. I'm sure the vendor would not my saying this but the owner is a perfectionist and has even had the vulnerable Pierce Arrow mascot restored to first class condition with the bow and arrow rebuilt in solid silver.Owned for over 12 years and after a recent 600-mile tour of Norfolk and Suffolk with no issue, the owner will certainly be sorry to see her go.(Music with thanks to Audionautix)
2005 Ferrari 360 Modena Transmission: automaticMileage:7318The Ferrari 360 was manufactured from 1999 to 2005 and succeeded the F355. It is a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive, V8 powered coupé and Ferrari partnered with Alcoa to produce an entirely new, all aluminium space-frame chassis that was 40% stiffer than the F355. Along with a lightweight frame, the new Pininfarina body styling deviated from traditions of the previous decade's sharp angles and flip-up headlights. The new V8 engine utilised a 3.6 litre capacity and, despite what looked like, on paper, as modest gains, in reality the power to weight ratio was significantly improved. The first model to be rolled out was the 360 Modena, followed later by the 360 Spider and finally, as a special edition, the Challenge Stradale.Presented in Giallo Modena Yellow with contrasting black leather trim, this is a sought after incredibly low mileage example. A desirable F1, left hand drive example first registered in 2005 to a businessman in Japan, but imported to the UK in March 2012 to it's current UK owner. The 3586cc engine fires up immediately and sounds evocative. We are advised it drives well as every Ferrari does with no known faults. The odometer equates to an incredible 4,500 miles from new and this 360 is supplied with a V5 registration document and a current MoT test certificate. A very attractive motorcar and, what can be considered, one of the ultimate driving Ferraris.
2015 Evanta Barchetta Transmission: manualMileage:3751There will be multiple aesthetic signals firing at you thick and fast as the first gaze upon the Evanta Barchetta. Drink it in. It is achingly beautiful, especially in this colour scheme, and is reminiscent of a number of different 50s sports racing cars of the period. Ferrari, Aston Martin Zagato's, Maserati and the Browns Lane competition Jaguars to name but a few.The short-lived British Evanta Motor Company was the brainchild of Ant Anstead, a hugely knowledgeable gentleman with the foresight to be able to visualise something so glorious. The composite Kevlar body envelopes a truly frightening Chevrolet 6.2 litre LS3 engine pushing out over 450bhp. Mr. Anstead, the anchor-man from tv's 'For the Love of Cars', did not just focus on the aesthetics. They followed through with fully adjustable suspension, bias adjustable disc brakes all round, full stainless 16 wire wheels, bespoke cooling and fuel systems, modern ECU power, plus leather and Alcantara trim. Offered with deep rich burgundy paintwork and complementary Oxblood Red leather interior, it can only really be described as faultless. Not content with the exterior design and the technical thought that has gone through this project, the cockpit is all handmade leather, quilted transmission tunnel and doorcards with the icing on the cake, a machine-turned aluminium steering wheel boss and wood-rimmed steering wheel. With a full one year MoT test certificate, it would appear that the chassis number shows this to be the very first one made.A 'visualisation' was created by Gun Hill Studios and can be seen here..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8A7ffSTxRcWhat a rarity, what a treat!Interested parties should note that the current registration does not come with the car and that a new one will be issued.
1968 Aston Martin DBS (Six-cylinder) Transmission: manualMileage:84426Following on from the DB6, the DBS was initially conceived as a limited production, fast two-seater and prepared to accommodate the new Tadek Marek-designed V8 engine. The DBS evolved throughout its development cycle to include deeper spoilers and better ventilation. The 'four-headlight' DBS has become highly valued and a very early manual car, such as this, is one of the most sought-after versions, appreciated as both collectible and eminently useable on an everyday basis. It has certain important and unique features, lost in later models, such as the wood panel dash and the distinctive 'three flutes' behind the rear windows, both of which make the car more attractive than the later cars.The AML build sheet indicates that it was a factory demonstrator from October 1968 until December that year when documents detail transfer to the second owner, a Mr. Vickers of London. Little history exists of its early life until 1992 when it was discovered standing in a barn for 10 years, with the engine head off, awaiting attention. It was subsequently sent to a restorer in Hailsham, East Sussex where the car was dismantled but re-assembly never took place, although the engine appeared to be in one piece. It was a full eight years later that, at the owner's request, Aston Martin Specialists, Newlands Motors, collected the car from Hailsham in late 2000 and set about restoring the car. They fully expected to have to work on the engine, but running it up after re-assembly, the pressures and functions were 100%. There was a brief couple of years of intermittent usage before the car was returned to storage for another four years until the current owner who asked Newlands Motors to recommission the car resulting in an invoice of nearly £8,500.It was in 2010, that Aston Martin specialists Byron International, were asked to market the car on behalf of the owner and it quickly found a new home with an enthusiast in France. There it has remained for the past 10 years, enjoyed and used sparingly. Making the decision to part company with the car did not stop the owner in ensuring the mechanical elements were in tiptop condition, replacing gaskets and servicing the car as late as December last year.From 2000-2012, Newlands Motors have been servicing it regularly and comprehensively and from 2013, there were a number of different specialists until 2015 when it arrived at RS Williams albeit briefly. Aston Workshops in 2017, then various others, including RS Williams, for sundry servicing. Latterly AES, specialist Aston Martin engineers in Leiston but more importantly, since February 2021, it has been looked after by Vantage Engineering in West Sussex, a highly recommended firm, for its preparation for sale. With its predecessors, the DB4, DB5, and DB6, still commanding huge premiums on the current value of a DBS for cars of similar condition, this represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a six-cylinder Aston Martin from the hand built era of the marque.Whilst this lot is currently registered in France, it has now been imported to the UK and a NOVA certificate issued to register the car once again in the UK. It is now expected that the previous UK registration number will be reassigned.
2000 Bentley Arnage Red LabelTransmission: automaticMileage:81,650Launched in 1998, the Arnage was manufactured in Crewe from 1998 to 2009 with its Rolls-Royce sibling, the Silver Seraph. They were the first entirely new designs for the two marques since 1980 when the Silver Spirit and Mulsanne models were introduced. The new Arnage (Green Label) was to be powered by a BMW V8 engine with Cosworth-engineered, twin-turbo chargers and the Seraph was to employ a BMW V12 engine. The Arnage Red Label was launched in October 1999 with the engine reverting back to Bentley power using the traditional V8 engine and a displacement of 6750cc. As part of the modification process, both Red and Green Label cars benefitted from expanded leg room in the cabin, stiffer bodyshells and larger wheels and brakes. First registered on 2nd October 2000 and supplied by Jack Barclay, this impressive example has been in the ‘Bentley enthusiast’ vendors ownership since June 2009. The file for this Arnage contains bills and receipts for servicing, the most recent with specialist Danny Wilcox of DEW services. It is presented in Midnight Emerald with Magnolia Connolly leather hide interior and it also comes with two sets of keys. Presented to auction with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until the end of July 2023, this 6.75 V8 litre Bentley offers supreme luxury for a modest outlay.
1993 Mercedes-Benz 600 SL Transmission: automaticMileage:10946Following the resounding success of the R107, the R129 Mercedes-Benz SL had a rather tough act to follow, as it still had to carry on the tradition of a fast and reliable grand touring convertible. The advantage designers had with the R129 was technology. By the time the final car rolled off the production line in 1989, these earlier models had been in production for 18 years with very little change. Therefore, the 600SL featured many new and innovative ideas, such as controlled electronic damping, automatically expanding roll-over bar and a more modern multi-link rear axle. In addition to this was a fully operating electric roof, windows, door mirrors and seats, which made this model easy and comfortable to operate. The new SL also boasted a more powerful engine and the stopping power was aided by anti-locking braking for added reassurance. The specification of these splendid cars is always excellent with electric memory seats, heated seats, air conditioning and cruise control. To be expected from such an engine, this car is very responsive to drive and effortlessly travels for mile after mile. The beauty of the 600SL is the versatility; this is a car you can pop to the shops in or use for work on a daily basis.Originally registered on 1st August 1993 this fabulous Mercedes-Benz has only covered 10,946 miles during its 29 years on British roads. Owned by the current vendor since 2018, it was previously owned within the same family (father & son). Upon purchasing this 600SL the car required some recommissioning which was carried out by a recognised marque specialist. This included the fitment of a new wiring harness (a known fault on these cars). The original service books are present, together with a collection of previous invoices for work carried out, confirming the ultra-low mileage. This Mercedes-Benz is in very original condition and even has the spare key in its original box. These fabulously stylish sportscars from Mercedes-Benz are recognised for the outstanding build quality. Supplied with a V5 registration document, together with a current MoT test certificate, the smoothness and power of the 5973cc V12 contribute towards making this an exceptional car to drive. An exceptionally rare car with exceedingly low mileage.
1983 Opel Manta Transmission: manualMileage:40240Opel released the Manta A, back in 1970, as a competitor to the Ford Capri. Equipped with either a 1.6 or 1.9 litre CIH, (Cam In Head built by General Motors), and fitted with either a four-speed manual or three-speed automatic, the Manta became known as one of the best handling cars in its class. This also proved well in the world of rallying, where it had great success in both Europe and the United States. In 1975, the Manta B was launched, which was basically a redesigned Opel Ascona, but with more sporty styling, similar to the UK equivalent of the Ascona, the Mk.1 Cavalier sports hatch. The next major update came in 1982 when the Manta received the updated 1.8 litre engine, like the one we have here. This engine was more economical and could also use unleaded fuel. This proved very popular and was used up until the end of the production run of the Manta.This very nice example is presented in silver with grey interior. The owner carried out some welding to the subframe last year, of which the invoice can be seen in the history file, and the engine was serviced earlier this year. The history file also contains a sale brochure for the model old MoT test certificates and various other invoices. Please note that this car suffered some damage in December 1999 and was deemed a Category D Insurance loss. According to the HPI it states the vehicle was damaged but repairable and the insurer decided not to repair. The car has been taxed and has had an MoT since and is currently insured and taxed and on the road.
1968 Jaguar XK120 by Aristocat Transmission: automaticMileage:Built with Jaguar's written permission, the Aristocat uses all Jaguar components housed in a steel spaceframe chassis. For ease of build the Aristocat uses the XJ series suspension, un-modified, resulting in the car being five inches wider than the XK120 or XK140, but only one inch wider than the XK150. The additional width, added down the centre of the car, allows for a more spacious cockpit and boot than the originals and drivers of well over six feet can be easily accommodated. Finished in Opalescent Green with a gold fleck and contrasting biscuit leather interior, and sitting on wire wheels with an automatic gearbox and power steering, this example was purchased in kit form from Autotune Aristocat in the late 80s and finished in the early 2000s. Built by two engineers, a considerable amount of time was spent improving the kit including re-working the doors, bonnet and boot for a much better fit and also improving the wiring in order to be more reliable and fitting Dual Servo brakes for better braking. The rear axle was also completely rebuilt. An extensive build file is with the car. Including original Aristocat invoices, build sheets, build photographs, specifications list and history of the donor car, which was a 1968 Jaguar 420, chosen as it came under Historic status and allowed a more Jaguar XK period number plate. All ancillaries were used from this car; however, the engine is a period correct 3.4 litre from an XJ6 which also provided the power steering and automatic gearbox. The seats have full working recline, lumber, height and sliding adjustment. Many correct XK120 features include split windscreen, four spoke Moto-Lita steering wheel, period correct bonnet badge and also correct slim bumpers. Owned for 15 years, this car has taken art in various European trips, classic car rallies and has been a regular entrant at various classic car shows. The car has been described as incredibly reliable and regularly serviced by the owner. The Aristocat marque has shown itself to be a well-designed vehicle and attracts a worldwide following. Presented to auction with a V5C registration document XSV852, it surely deserves a closer look.
1998 Mini Cooper Transmission: manualMileage:70725Launched in 1996 the Mk. VII was the final version of the classic shaped Mini. The car was now fitted with twin point injection with front-mounted radiator, a full-width dashboard replaced the original shelf, internal bonnet release and the Introduction of an airbag on the driver's side. The basic Mini was the 1.3i, the other model in the range being the Mini Cooper. The end of production in October 2000 not only signalled the end of original Mini production after 41 years, but also brought about the demise of the 1275-cc engine which had powered the Mini and numerous other BL/BMC/ARG cars for more than 35 years. The Metro had ceased production two and a half years earlier, ironically meaning the Mini outlived the car that was supposed to replace it.This impressive Cooper edition was supplied new to Japan in 1998.This 1275 Mini has been well looked after and is described by the vendor as '10/10 in every regard'. Presenting in white with a contrasting black roof, black wheel arches and fitted with driving lamps, this iconic car certainly looks the part. The interior is fitted with leather seats, a new one-piece red carpet, a bespoke carbon fibre dashboard and door finishers and air conditioning. We are also informed that the looks are complemented by the drive of this car which has benefitted from a new gearbox, new clutch, new wheels and tyres, adjustable shock absorbers and a recent service. Offered without reserve this Mini would grace any collection.
1960 Jaguar Mk.II Saloon Transmission: manualMileage:71633The Jaguar Mk. II was a medium size saloon built from 1959 to 1967 as a successor to the 2.4 and 3.4 Mk. I models. The Mk. II was handsome, powerful and a good handling saloon which was offered with a choice of three six-cylinder, twin cam engines; 2.4 litre, 3.4 litre or 3.8 litre. After the appreciation of the MK. I, Jaguar's successor was well received, making a good car even better. Similar in appearance, but with a bigger glass area, the Mk. II boasted a wider track to improve road holding, together with minor front suspension changes to reduce body roll, and the new Dunlop disc brakes fitted all-round rather than drum brakes. The 210bhp 3.4 litre engine variant proved to be the most popular, offering the best compromise between performance and economy. Naturally, the performance was excellent, therefore the Mk. II 3.8 litre has enjoyed great success on the track and can still be a very competitive historic race car.This 1960 Jaguar Mk. II 3.8 litre was purchased by the current owner in 1995 as a restoration project. After many months of stripping down then removing all the paint and filler, he set about rebuilding the body shell. The vendor then carried out any repairs as necessary and fitted four new original Jaguar doors and metal rear wheel spats. The original colour was changed from grey to Old English White, the reassembly was started and mechanicals refitted. In the late 1990s work stopped and it went into storage, then twelve years ago it was taken to well-known classic Jaguar specialists based in Maidenhead who finished the assembly. They refitted the new red leather interior, adding to all the re-chromed bumpers and window frames etc. When new the car was supplied with an automatic gearbox which at some point has been replaced with a manual gearbox with overdrive, which was overhauled in 2013. Around the same time the engine was taken out again and completely rebuilt. When it was removed it was discovered that the 3.8 engine had been replaced with a 3.4 litre unit from a later Jaguar S-Type. The car has been fitted with electric power steering replacing the original fluid system. In 2020 the rear axle was removed and completely rebuilt, and at the same time it was fitted with new chrome wire wheels and tyres. This Jaguar Mk. II is supplied with a V5 registration document and a very large file containing information, invoices and some photographs of the restoration. This is a very good reliable example, perfect for historic rallies, Bicester Scrambles or just touring.
1997 Aston Martin DB7 i6 CoupéTransmission: automaticMileage:62600 1997 Aston Martin DB7 i6 Coupé: Introduced in 1993 to the public, the handsome new DB7 was Aston Martin's first six-cylinder model since production of the DB6 Mk. II had finished in 1971. Styled by Ian Callum, its lines were evocative of earlier Aston Martin models and elements of the DB4/5/6 could be seen in the design. Arguably one of the nicest looking cars ever produced by Aston Martin, the DB7 was well received and attracted new customers worldwide with its traditional layout of the curvaceous two-door coupé body and robust six-cylinder engine. Power was supplied by an all-alloy double overhead camshaft supercharged 24 valve inline six-cylinder engine which produced 335 bhp at 5750rpm. Regarded by many as the purist modern Aston Martin, the DB7 will undoubtedly be a collectable car for years to come and is equally at home in the city or out on the open road. In 1982, Aston Martin was granted a Royal Warrant of Appointment by the Prince of Wales, the company holds the warrant to this day.Originally registered on 11th March 1997 this Aston Martin presents beautifully in Cheviot red complemented by Parchment leather interior. The engine runs extremely well and we are advised it drives with no known faults and the automatic transmission operating as it should. These early DB7’s are extremely stylish and set the standards for others to follow. Supplied with the original book pack and a very good service history, together with a copy of the build sheets, a V5 and an MoT test certificate valid until 25th June 2023. Appearing to be in very original condition, this Aston Martin DB7 i6 coupé is in exceptional condition, interested parties are advised to view the car in person to appreciate the
1971 Triumph Stag Transmission: manualMileage:55000Launched in 1970, the Triumph Stag was a luxury grand tourer. Envisioned as a luxury sports car, it was designed to compete directly with the Mercedes-Benz SL class models. All Stags were four-seater convertible coupés. However, for structural rigidity and to meet new American rollover standards at the time, the Stag required a B-pillar 'roll bar' hoop connected to the windscreen frame by a T-bar. A new 2.5 litre V8 designed and developed by Triumph's Harry Webster was later enlarged to 2,997cc. Most Stags were fitted with a Borg Warner automatic gearbox, although manual gearboxes with overdrive were available. Electric windows, power steering and power-assisted brakes were fitted as standard.This example was first registered 5th November 1971. Presented in white with black trim, it features the desirable manual gearbox with overdrive and that unmistakable V8 growl. Owned by our vendor for the past six years, this handsome convertible has benefitted from ample care and attention during his tenure. Works completed include a new hood and frame, carpets and front seats, refurbished body work; specifically, a new wing, arches, sills and a full respray. Described as a ”œgreat usable Stag”, with matching numbers engine, it also boasts an original 55,000 miles on the clock. Other recent upgrades include a rebuilt suspension including: all new polybush mounts, new clutch, tyres and a new replacement wooden dash. The manual with overdrive gearbox has been reconditioned, and the V8 triumph engine stripped and rebuilt, with the vendor stating that it holds good compression. The SU carburettors have also been refurbished and a new stainless-steel exhaust fitted to complement that fantastic V8 sound. Offered with a good history file, this is a well-priced example of the 70s icon.
1968 Daimler 250 V8 Transmission: Mileage:74126This example of Daimler's 1960s line-up utilised the powerful 2.5 litre, V8 engine made famous in the 250SP. This model range, launched in 1962, was effectively a rebadged Mk. II but the engine was a silky-smooth power plant mated to a standard automatic gearbox. In 1967, it was renamed the V8-250 and differed in relatively small details such as sleek, slimline bumpers and overriders, an alternator instead of a dynamo and twin air cleaners; one for each carburettor. This example of the V8 powered Daimler 250 is presented in possibly the best colour combination of deep navy blue with contrasting biscuit trim. Fully restored between 2016 and 2019 by Rotaflow engineers, they took the car right back to bare metal, restoring the original bodywork with old fashioned tried and tested hand work skills. The car has been rebuilt to original factory standards maintaining Daimler originality. According to printed photographic documentation and indeed a web page there were no time or budget limits on the project; nothing was rushed and the entire project took over 3000 hours. The engine was stripped, cleaned, de-coked and then carefully re-built. The radiator was sent away to be professionally re-cored and repainted to as new condition. The original Daimler wooden interior was re-veneered and replaced. The interior carpets were beyond repair, so they were completely removed and replaced with a luxury interior carpet. The seats were cleaned and restored and the car re-painted back to its original Daimler colour. The rest of the car that didn't need any engineering was fully removed, restored and refitted with brand new tyres, new bulbs, all fluids drained and re-filled and all fixtures and fittings tightened and re-sealed. We are told no stone was left unturned on this project. Wanting to be both sympathetic to the original car and ensuring the work has been carried out to the highest possible standards, this is a lovely example of the Daimler 250 V8.
1967 Corvette StingrayTransmission: manualThe Corvette Stingray had grown to be America's most popular sports car since its debut in 1953 but it was time for a change for the 1963-1967 models. Even the most superlative design grows whiskers after a decade and Chevrolet chief, Bill Mitchell, and stylist, Larry Shinoda, faced a tough task; to improve a living legend. Not only did they succeed but their creation turned into a modern classic and they created the most collectible Corvette of them all, sending sales soaring to record levels. Seeds were planted by the Stingray Special racer and experimental XP-720 which displayed a smooth fastback profile. These and other styling details pivoting hidden headlights, doors cut into the roof, a swage line dip all wound up in the production Sting Ray. The four headlights aligned with the pointy front end when shut, rotating open when needed.This handsome 1967 Stingray was imported into the UK in September 2012. Presenting in the rare but stunning colour of copper metallic with a contrasting interior, this Corvette started when requested and runs with a subtle tick over sound from its 6990cc engine. The vendor tells us that ‘subtle’ isn’t the word he would use when driving this beast; which he describes as being ‘tremendous fun’. This striking coupé has immense kerbside appeal and is ready for a new owner.
1986 Jeep CJ7 Transmission: manualMileage:51339The Willys Jeep (later Kaiser Jeep or AMC Jeep) is the civilian version of the Willys military Jeep of World War II. The first Willys CJ prototype (the CJ-2) was introduced in 1944 and the same basic vehicle remained in production through seven variants and three corporate parents through 1986 when production of the Jeep model was officially ended. The Jeep CJ-7 and Jeep CJ-8 were replaced in 1986 by the similar-looking Jeep Wrangler. The Jeep CJ-7 featured a wheelbase 10 longer than that of the CJ-5 and lacked its trademark rear curve of the door cut-outs. To help improve vehicle handling and stability, the rear section of the chassis stepped out to allow the springs and shock absorbers to be mounted closer to the outside of the body.Presented in blue with grey trim, this late UK supplied 1986 CJ-7 was one of the last built. According to the previous owner, this is a Renegade specification example which was initially restored prior to the present owner purchasing it in 1998. Sitting on two inch wider than stock arch extensions and Sahara deep dish wheels with new BFG mud terrain tyres and raised Rancho shocks. In 2008 our vendor purchased an AC 5.0 litre V8 engine to replace the 4.2 litre and spent circa £9,000 with AC Automotive having it rebuilt and installed it with all new pistons, a Holly injection system costing £2,400 and a further £2,000 spent on a custom stainless steel exhaust system and a new radiator. The vendor then decided to have the car taken back to bare metal and repainted in an original Jeep colour - a further £3,500!

1992 Bentley Turbo RL Transmission: paddleMileage:108276The Bentley Turbo R initially inherited the turbocharged engine from the Mulsanne Turbo and also sported a retuned suspension and wider tyres on alloy wheels, quite a departure for a Bentley. From the 1987 model year, however, the Turbo R's V8 engine was retuned with new Bosch MK-Motronic fuel injection for added torque. Other modifications carried out at the same time included new sports seats and a higher rear axle ratio. Motor Trend called the Turbo R 'the first Bentley in decades deserving of the famous name' in their review of the car on its introduction to the United States in 1989. The suspension changes, though seemingly subtle, transformed the heavy car into a real performer and slotted above the Bentley Mulsanne S and Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, and it carved a well-deserved niche in the world of performance saloons.This long wheel base example was registered new on 9th April 1992 in Balmoral Green paintwork over Parchment interior with green piping and a green top roll. The history file that accompanies the car includes various MoT records including the most recent, which is valid until 10th September 2022. Offered at no reserve this is a very good opportunity to acquire a desirable RL example.
1956 Ford E83W Pick-up Transmission: manualMileage:52000The Ford E83W, also sold under the Fordson brand, was a 10cwt (half ton) light commercial vehicle, built at the United Kingdom's Dagenham plant between 1938 and 1957. They were powered by the 1172cc Ford side valve engine, with a commercial gearbox, and were equipped with a very low ratio differential, making them much slower than the saloons, but giving them far greater torque.Anthony Hoists Ltd was a coachbuilder who specialized in modifying new commercial vehicles for the major motoring manufacturers, they built the steel back bodies for the E83W and others, with the Fords it was listed as a Builders Truck, rather than a pick-up it was certainly much beefier than the standard Ford offering which was made from wood. The E83W was aimed at the small haulage and support vehicle market. Vans were the most common, along with builders' flatbed pick-ups with wooden side and tail boards. The rarest by far is the steel back Side-Step pick-up, with less than 20 known to exist in the world.Offered here is an extremely rare Ford E83W. Acquired by the current vendor in 1997, it has been extensively restored and has been dry stored ever since. In excellent condition the Pick-up looks superb with period correct sign written livery. The Ford has been used for shows and classic car rallies throughout the current tenure. Offered with various sundry invoices, old MoT test certificates and the current UK registration document. Coming to the open market for the first time in over two decades, this wonderful example is offered without reserve and will be huge amounts of fun for the new owner.
1975 Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT 1800 Transmission: manualMileage:66Alfa Romeo's Alfetta name is synonymous with the post war 158/159 Grand Prix racing cars that became known as the 'invincible Alfetta' after winning every race entered in 1952. 30 years later, in 1972, Alfa Romeo re-introduced the Alfetta name with the introduction an all new saloon (Berlina); named such as the new car shared the transaxle and de Dion suspension design of the earlier race cars. The front suspension was all new thinking with a complex progressive rate set up which used torsion bars in place of the familiar coil springs of the earlier Giulias and Giuliettas. In 1974 a GT version was offered; designed by the stylist Giorgetto Giugiaro, the new Alfetta GT left little doubt as to the car's ancestry. With the gearbox at the rear coupled with the de Dion design and new front suspension, the Alfetta offered 50/50 weight distribution over both axles, giving the GT extraordinary stability at speed. In 1976, the GT, initially offered with a capacity of 1570cc (1.6 litre), was replaced by the 1779cc (1.8 litre) with the fuel filler-cap now visible, as well as the Alfa Romeo badging written above the number plate.The left hand drive example presented today represents one of the first series with the narrow metal bumpers and an 1800cc engine developing 118hp. It is presented in silver with black interior and comes with its green history book and a Auto Club D'Italia Certificate dated 2011. These Italian sports cars are lively to drive offering typically good handling with their 1800 four-cylinder engine providing ample performance.
