The ex-Richard Burns/Robert Reid rally car, used in Monte Carlo and Sweden during their Championship-winning 2001 season. On offer from 15-years private ownership and fresh from a sympathetic restoration retaining its original bodyshell and engine.Following the disappointment of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in the 2000 WRC Championship, 2001 was a year of redemption for the late Richard Burns and Robert Reid who finally achieved their first, and only, championship winning season. It was very tightly contested, and by no means a walkover, especially when their competition was arguably the greatest selection of rally drivers in history, including the late Colin McRae, Tommi Makinen and defending champion Marcus Gronholm, yet it was Burns in the S7 Impreza that took the drivers championship home that year with Peugeot retaining the Manufacturer's title. When we say this season was close, the top 3 drivers were separated by just 3 points by the end of the season!For the 2001 World Rally Championship, Subaru nominated Petter Solberg and Richard Burns as their driver lineup, with Marko Martin and Toshi Arai competing in selected events. Their WRC 2001 Car featured an all-new look, based on the new Impreza WRX GD chassis, popularly known as the Bugeye. Along with the new body, the car featured revised aerodynamics, improved weight distribution and importantly, a lower centre of gravity and naturally mechanical developments continued apace. Synonymous with Rallying success, these World Rally cars were built, prepared and run by British motorsport team, Prodrive.Held over 14 rounds, the 2001 World Rally Championship effectively covered ever corner of the globe, from the infamous Monte Carlo, to Australia, Argentina, Sweden and the Safari rally in Africa. During the course of the season, the WRC 2001 secured seven podium finishes, with Richard Burns claiming the World Rally Drivers Championship, beating four-time champion Tommi Makinen, double-champion Marcus Gronholm, and 1995 champion Colin McRae!This Subaru Impreza WRC 2001, PR WRC 01 008 was built during January 2001 and registered as X2 SRT for Richard Burns to drive in the Monte Carlo Rally 2001, Start No 5. It then went on to be driven by Richard again for a second time in Rally Sweden 2001 and the car's final outing that year was Rally Portugal 2001 with Toshi Arai at the wheel.The car then went to America and, registered as S200 USA, went on to win the Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally (STPR) and Rim of the World rallies. It then returned to Prodrive around September 2001 and was registered as X8 SRT, which it retains today, and was immediately shipped down under for Toshi Arai in the Australian Rally 2001 and returned home for its final outing that year, Rally GB 2001 driven by Neil Weardon. X8 SRT was then not campaigned until 2004 when RED Motorsport hired out the car for a couple of rallies before selling it on to David Turnbull. David competed in the car successfully in the UK and Europe run by ATM Engineering from Selby, North Yorkshire and, in 2008, the Subaru was sold to its current owner but remained in the care of ATM Engineering. There was no peace for the wicked and it continued to compete up until 2015 in a selection of rallies including Rally Barbados, as well as many UK and European based races. Needless to say, the car was run with no expense spared and collected a plethora of silverware with 121 stage victories and 9 overall victories to date.In 2020, ATM Engineering began a full restoration of X8 SRT. The shell was blasted and had a full repaint whilst the very tricky to find, original aluminium panels were sourced for the rebuild and many original Prodrive parts that had been removed over the years such as the Carbon seats that Richard Burns used and a one-off carbon map book holder that was commissioned by Robert Reid, Richard's navigator were re-fitted. The period-correct 2001 livery was applied to the car by an ex-employee of Prodrive that had applied the vinyl for the cars in the first place. The original engine that was used by Richard remains fitted and that was fully rebuilt by marque expert, Graham Sweet, with less than 100 stage miles since. The rebuild was completed to a stunning standard in April 2021 and there is a Letter of Authenticity supplied by Prodrive confirming its history alongside its original Gold FIA Passport.An unequivocally impressive piece of machinery as a stand-alone car, but to have contributed to the great Richard Burns’ Championship winning year rightfully puts this car into a special place in many people’s hearts. A real collector's item - special provenance but retaining the ability to continue to be used for what it was originally designed to do.SpecificationMake: SUBARUModel: IMPREZA WRCYear: 2001Chassis Number: PR0WRC01008Registration Number: X8 SRTTransmission: SequentialEngine Number: 01ST10ZDrive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Smartly presented in classic colours with an odometer reading of 60,496 miles that is supported by the original service book.The 250SL Pagoda W113 was already in production by the time it was introduced at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show, and discontinued by January 1968. The short one-year production run before being replaced by the 280SL in January 1968, makes the 250SL the rarest of the W113 series cars. The new car retained the stiffer suspension and sportier feel of the early SLs, but provided improved agility with a new engine and rear disc brakes. Range also improved with an increased fuel tank capacity from 65 to 82-litres. The 250 SL was offered with a 4-speed automatic transmission or 4-speed or ZF 5-speed manual transmissions.The preceeding model, the 190 SL, had been a huge hit in the Untied States, a pretty and nimble alternative to the bloated turn-pike cruisers so it's no surprise that over 90% of Pagodas were built in left-hand drive and destined for America, as was this 1967 Mercedes-Benz 250SL on August 4th 1967. Incredibly, the car’s original service book survives, we cannot stress enough the rarity of this, and notes that the car was first registered in Chicago, and first serviced by Knauz Continental Autos Inc., of Illinois at 867 miles on 28th November 1967. There are a further thirteen service entries culminating in a final visit in 1976 at 51,906 miles, and presumably was off the road during the next three decades, was subsequently restored and next serviced in July 2012 at 58,125 miles.The car was imported into the United Kingdom and registered on 13th August 2012 with the DVLA, to the first UK owner who enjoyed the little Pagoda for six years before our vendor purchased it. A long time client of Silverstone Auctions, he had the intention of using it for a Continental tour before COVID restrictions came into place a year later. It's now presented to auction recently serviced, MOT'd and benefitting from fuel system works at a cost of £3,000 and the valve stem oil seals were also replaced. The history file is lovely and contains the aforementioned original service book, associated paperwork, V5C and recent MOT Certificate.SpecificationMake: MERCEDES-BENZModel: 250SLYear: 1967Chassis Number: 11304312001287Registration Number: XBL 434ETransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: M129000641 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 60496 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: RedClick here for more details and images
Bought directly by our vendor from the first owner in 1998, subject to a long-term restoration and just one of 562 right-hand drive examples.The 1955 launch of the 190 SL cemented Mercedes-Benz's reputation as the car manufacturer for those who wanted elegance, build quality and a good turn of speed. Unsurprisingly, most of the 26,000 units were sold to the North American market and, it's believed, just some 562 were made in right-hand drive. Although stunningly pretty, the 190 SL had stiff competition in the UK from domestic sports car manufacturers such as Jaguar, Austin-Healey and the significantly cheaper models from MG. Consequently, a UK-supplied 190 SL is perhaps the rarest of all sports cars from that era, especially compared to the huge amount of cars sold to countries who drive on the other side of the road.Some would say that a car’s history is as important as its condition, and whilst restorations can be paid for, it is the story that elevates a car from lovely to interesting. We now have the pleasure of telling this car’s story which began when it was first registered, appropriately enough on New Years Day 1961, to the first owner, a Mr Beach of Twickenham. Supplied in red with a black interior, the car was issued with the registration number 56 HYL and we are pleased to say that the car still bears that registration today, and will do for the next owner. The accompanying buff continuation logbook, stamped 25th May 1972, is signed by Mr Beach and notes the car’s colour, chassis and engine numbers.One day in 1998, our lady vendor was strolling past Mr Beach’s house and noticed the 190 SL in the open garage. Lengthy negotiations were started and the car was finally purchased from its first owner by our vendor. It appears that it had not run for many years and the subsequent restoration was a labour of love that took over twenty-years, which our vendor concedes was to a good, usable standard, rather than to Concours-winning condition. The colour was changed to silver, the interior retrimmed in red leather and topped by a black soft top hood with the original interior fittings retained where possible.Very rarely does a 61 old car come to market with just two owners from new, and few have the original owner’s details listed in a buff logbook. The odometer reading of 53,498 miles, at the time of cataloguing, is believed genuine, in keeping with the car’s decades away from the road. Sensibly guided, it's presented to auction with the current V5C showing just one former keeper, the aforementioned buff continuation logbook, a fresh MOT Certificate and the distinction of being a 190 SL with the lowest ownership history offered to market in some time.

**SALEROOM NOTICE: Please note the car has been damaged in transit, and the damage will be repaired post-sale by the party responsible.** One UK owner, strong factory-spec ‘440’ with an excellent soundtrack! Extensively redesigned for the 1971 model year, the Belvedere GTX featured an entirely new body-style with a raked-back windshield, bulging sides, deep-inset headlights and a wrap-around chrome trim giving the front end its distinctly evil appearance, particularly at night. 1971 was the last year that the GTX was offered as a stand-alone model in the Plymouth range and purchasers were able to choose from a four-barrel 440 V8, a six pack 440 V8 or a 426 Hemi V8, coupled to either a 4 speed manual or 3 speed automatic transmission. Due to increasingly stringent emission regulations reducing the power (through the use of fast-acting choke systems and lower compression ratios) and increasing insurance premiums, sales of the GTX were low in their final year, with only 2,492 built throughout 1971, making these late-model Plymouths rare in their home country, let alone over here in the UK.This example is a 1971-built, 440 four-barrel model, with the 3 speed automatic transmission. Finished in a gorgeous True Blue Metallic (B5) with black body-line painted stripes, the current owner purchased the vehicle in the US and imported it to the UK last year, with it being registered on British soil for the first time in April 2021.When it arrived on our shores, the vendor states that the car was a non-runner and had a number of electrical gremlins, however, in subsequent months, the car has been fully worked-through, with all major faults rectified. This work included attention to the electrical system, brakes, audio and cabin heating system, with the result that all major systems are working as they should be, although our vendor does note that a few of the gauges are inoperable at the present time.Under the bonnet, the 400ci engine was certified to be original although the vendor has been unable to independently confirm this, however, the VIN Decoder lists the engine from new as a "440 4bbl V8 high performance" Whilst it has largely been left alone, the engine does benefit from a new Holley carburettor, and is reported to be in full running order with a glorious V8 soundtrack from the twin-exit exhaust.Inside, the GTX came with a strong original specification from the factory including wood panelling and a plus interior trim. The vendor has added a period-look AM/FM radio with smartphone connectivity and new over-mats for added comfort, without taking away from the period looks and style of this V8-powered piece of 70s Americana.Presented in very good condition throughout, but with potential to take the car to the next level should the next owner wish to do so, this is a great opportunity to acquire a running, driving and useable example of the 440ci-engined GTX from the final year of production. Ready to enjoy, fettle and turn plenty of heads wherever you go!

Beautifully specified in Peacock with Sapphire, a modern classic Bentley Coupé manufactured in limited numbers with enormous presence.Introduced in 1991, the Continental R was the first Bentley in 26 years to not share a body style with a concurrent Rolls-Royce and was inspired by the highly collectable Continental R-Type of the 1950s. The elegant two-door coachwork was styled by John Heffernan and Ken Greenley, a duo whose résumé included sports cars like the Aston Martin Virage. Five years later Bentley introduced a short-wheelbase version dubbed the Continental T that was equipped with an uprated engine developing 420bhp and an impressive 650 foot-pounds of torque available at only 2,200 rpm. Bentley customers soon expressed interest in equipping the wide-body Continental R model with the T’s more powerful engine, and the Continental R Mulliner was consequently introduced at the 1999 Geneva Salon. The nomenclature was an homage to H.J. Mulliner, the British coachbuilder responsible for the original R-Type’s breathtaking fastback bodywork. The R Mulliner’s wide-body configuration offered spacious interior elegance, whilst the twin-turbocharged V8 could rocket the car to a top speed of nearly 170mph, with brisk 5.6-second sprints to 60 mph from standstill. Individually tailored to customer order, the R Mulliner was Bentley’s ultimate 20th century combination of luxury and performance, produced in a modest total quantity of 148 cars with 63 in right-hand drive. Offered here is a well specified Bentley Continental R finished in Peacock Blue with mostly Sapphire Black interior. Purchased new by the F & W Manufacturing Company, London W1 for £240,000, this Wide body Coupé shows circa 65,000 miles on the odometer and comes with a complete, well-documented service history.Accompanying the Bentley is a service file with invoices indicating that over £15,000 has been spent on maintenance in recent years, including a service at P&A Wood as part of its pre-sale preparations, the last owner having bought the Bentley from this notable dealer directly. As well as servicing, this work included new front brake pads and discs, new rear pads, new alternator belt, various electrical rectifications, Waxoyling of the underbody, and some other maintenance. The original service book shows over 20 Bentley main dealer or specialist stamps and the original book-pack is complete with drivers handbooks.The car was purchased by our vendor in 2018, who has used it sparingly and invested his passion into bringing this car up to its fantastic current condition. On the button and driving well, this magnificent modern-classic Bentley is described as in excellent condition and will be offered with a fresh MOT and its original registration plate applied for.NB; The Cherished Registration Number illustrated does not form part of the sale.

Exquisite 1951, XK120 Coupé fully rebuilt in 2015 by Tester Engineering in the style of the 1951 factory 'LT' cars.In 1951, William Lyons, having entered three of Jaguar’s new C-Type at that years Le Mans, became concerned that the cars may not be ready in time. As an insurance policy, he asked the Works to prepare three special XK120s that would comply with the Le Mans regs and last for the 24 hours. These cars were the first XK120s since the initial run of 210 cars in 1949 and 1950 to have lightweight aluminium coachwork and feature lightweight alloy bodies and a subtly altered shape, outer sills and cut-down doors, one-piece rear, cut-in bonnet, and Brooklands-type aero screens. Known as LT1, LT2, and LT3, the cars were all set to go, however, their day of glory was denied as the C-Types were completed in time. All dressed up with nowhere to go, the three LT cars sat around Browns Lane feeling sorry for themselves for a while until Charles Hornburg, the famous US West Coast Jaguar importer, spotted them during a visit. He promptly purchased the cars and exported them stateside, where Phil Hill masterfully drove one to 3rd overall and a class win in its very first race in August 1951.Supplied and delivered new to Jaguar distributors Hoffman of New York in October 1951, where it remained until repatriated in 2014, this outstanding XK120 Coupé was about to be transformed as an homage to the early factory lightweight cars and in particular one of the LT cars and continue its life with racing aspirations. Totally rebuilt over the following months by renowned Jaguar engineer Jim Tester of Tester Engineering to a standard rarely achieved, with an all new alloy body by Robert Gregson sitting on a fully refurbished and strengthened chassis externally finished to a superb level by Normandale. Mechanically, Tester rebuilt and fitted a 4.2 engine running triple Weber carburettors with full stainless sports manifold and exhaust, fitted disc brakes all round with adjustable suspension, adjustable pedal box, rebuilt rear axle with a Limited Slip Differential and Watts linkage. Internally, the same level of detail continued with a full cage, leather sports seats, harnesses and fire extinguisher system complimenting the other race accoutrements.Upon completion, the XK competed in two rounds of the 2015 Jaguar Heritage Challenge (Donnington Historic Festival and Silverstone International Festival) with a class win at Silverstone driven by Calum Lockie (multiple GT, Group 'C' and Endurance Champion). Remaining in storage until 2020, the car has now been fully recommissioned and is ready for use once again.This really is an extraordinarily beautiful car. The lines of the bespoke LT-style alloy bodywork add a sense of purpose and the car looks exactly as you would hope, a full-house 50s racing Jaguar might look.This is countered by its presentation in a glorious shade of Midnight Blue with matching carpets and Navy Blue leather seats. Fit and finish are to Concours standards and the attention to detail is remarkable. It's correctly UK-registered with V5 documentation.An outstanding and beautifully finished XK Coupé that is crying out to be taken by the scruff of the neck and enjoyed once again.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XK120 COUPEYear: 1951Chassis Number: 679052Registration Number: XBV 206Transmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlueClick here for more details and images
Realm Engineering chassis and body, freshly built, IVA tested and with less than 50 miles on the clock.Faced with a glut of incomplete and unused D-Type bodies, chassis’ and parts following their withdrawal from racing at the end of the 1956 season, Jaguar made the decision to convert these left-over vehicles to road-going specification, for wealthy enthusiasts and drivers, most notably in the United States of America. Largely unchanged from the competition-spec vehicles (by modern standards, anyhow) this new vehicle - dubbed the XKSS - was fitted with a more conventional body, passenger door, wrap-around windscreen, side screens and quarter-bumpers, and not much else. Rarely did competition vehicles make it to production in such an untamed manner, but that was all part of the appeal for XKSS buyers. Sadly, following a devastating fire at Jaguar’s Browns Lane factory that destroyed all but sixteen XKSS models which had already been built, production was ended. As a result, the remaining survivors of the original 16 vehicles command an understandable premium when they come up for sale, putting them out of reach for all but the wealthiest of owners.Thankfully, there are numerous companies and talented individuals producing near-identical replicas and recreations, with one such company being Realm Engineering, who supplied the chassis and GRP kit body that made up this fantastic recreation we have here. Notably, Realm are well-known in their field for C and D-Type replicas, as well as producing the only AC Cobra replica which has Carroll Shelby’s personal seal of approval, so you can be certain that they are at the top of their game. Constructed to an incredibly high standard by the current owner over the last two years, this ‘XKSS’ utilises running gear from an XJ6, with the 4.2-litre inline-six engine and 5-speed gearbox providing drive, whilst the build also features a narrowed Jaguar independent IRS rear axle. Upgrades include triple Weber carburettors, big valve head and an unleaded fuel conversion.Sat on the correct replica 16” Dunlop racing wheels and fitted with a mohair folding hood, this 'XKSS recreation' looks every inch the thoroughbred British sports car, providing its owners with a near-identical driving experience without the eye-watering price tag attached to a real Jaguar XKSS. Alongside the roof, the car is also complete with its side screens, hood cover, boot rack and wet weather gear, should you be caught in a typically British shower.Following completion of the build, this example was correctly IVA tested and approved, registered on the V5 as a ‘Heritage XKSS’ and given an age-related registration from the donor vehicle’s year. Now, correctly registered MKU 170W can be removed and a private non age defining or personal plate can be fitted. Having driven only to and from the test station and the paint shop to get its coat of freshly-applied Old English White, this 2022-registered 'XKSS recreation' is ready for the next owner to enjoy to its fullest.Supplied with the V5C showing first registered on 1st May 2022 with no former keepers, a photographic record of the build with around 300 images, folder full of invoices and documentation of the build process, IVA certification and with no requirement for an MOT for the next three years, this really is an unrepeatable opportunity to obtain an as-new XKSS recreation that is ready to drive.SpecificationMake: REALM HERITAGE XKSSModel: XKSS RECREATIONYear: 2022Chassis Number: REALMSSS167680080Registration Number: MKU 170WTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 102736 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 15 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Old Jaguar RedClick here for more details and images
#68/100, this meticulously restored example is surely the finest JPS to come to market in recent years.Technically called the World Championship Commemorative Model, but more colloquially known as the John Player Special, this was the first and arguably the most memorable limited edition Esprit from Lotus. Dubbed the JPS due to its distinctive black and gold livery, inspired by the ground effect, JPS-sponsored, championship-winning Lotus 79 cars of the period, as raced by Mario Andretti and Ronnie Petersen. Originally planned to build 200 examples, it was believed that just 185 were produced, 100 for the UK, 55 for the United States and 30 for Europe. The eye-catching specification included gold-coloured side-stripes complete with World Champion lettering, gold-coloured front and rear windscreen surrounds and alloy wheels, gold-effect corduroy seat inserts and a three-spoke leather rimmed steering wheel instead of the normal plastic offering. The 'Juke Box' installed was a Hitachi Digi-One radio-cassette. The 1973cc, 16-valve DOHC engine delivered a feisty 160bhp which was sufficient to sprint the 1,980lb glass fibre-bodied, two-seater to 60mph in 6.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 124 mph. The short production run lasted from December 1978 to July 1979.This immaculate example is Number 68, however, as we understand and know Lotus from that period, it is unknown what number it was in the production line. Our vendor confessed to getting somewhat carried away with the restoration, and as part of the process, #68 had a full body-off, glass-out restoration, including a respray and new stickers to ensure no stone was unturned and the car would be as good as new, if not better, which we feel he’s achieved by some distance. A number of top specialists have been involved in the car's transformation and the results are very impressive with a fabulous level of finish yet maintaining the character of the car, which is no easy feat!The restoration catalogue is fantastic, featuring new aluminium fuel tanks, brake line hoses, new aluminium radiator, new coolant hoses, Wilwood front callipers and disks (originals to go with the car) and new suspension and bushes all round. The engine was overhauled including new liners, crank reground and new pistons circa 2000 miles ago and a stainless-steel exhaust system including 4 into 1 manifold fitted to help it sing. The list goes on, making for pleasant reading and an even more pleasant driving experience.The history file is nicely detailed and contains dozens of old invoices and MOTs. Superbly presented and indicating only 72,746 miles, this is an exceptionally high-quality example that would cost a small fortune to replicate. With the combination of comfortable mileage and the quality of restoration, this very special Lotus would sit equally as perfectly in the hands of a collector as it would in the hands of an enthusiast wanting to get out and drive it.With Lotus cars of the future destined to have electric hearts, there cannot be a better time to pick up the old-school and experience the cars that made the David and Goliath brand from Norwich withstand the test of time with such flying colours.SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: ESPRIT S2 JPSYear: 1979Chassis Number: 79020661GRegistration Number: TOI 9585Transmission: ManualEngine Number: CC907790216073 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 72746 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black and CreamClick here for more details and images
A superbly engineered bespoke Special; elegantly proportioned and utilising a mighty 6.7-litre straight-8 engine.When Bentley was founded in 1919 in London, W.O.'s aim was simple: "To build a fast car, a good car, the best in its class." His earliest motor cars – the 3-litre, the 4½-litre, the Speed Six and the supercharged Blower – were absolute world-beaters, and Bentley's performance at Le Mans is the stuff of legend. Their first entry in 1923 saw them finish fourth, and by the following year they had crept up to first. Soon the marque was unstoppable at Le Mans – its reliability and performance undeniable – with Bentleys taking first place in 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930.Some of the cars that achieved these feats are still around today and quite rightly command much respect and heavy premiums on the rare occasions they do come to the market. For several years now there have been a handful of very skilled specialists producing cars in faithful homage to these great Bentley racers, often bringing together original parts, new materials and engineering prowess, sometimes themselves commanding in excess of £250,000. These sorts of car should always have a distinct Bentley flavour, both mechanically and stylistically, and perform as closely as possible to the original examples. The car presented here is in that same vein and offers an owner a real taste of that unique and intoxicating Bentley spirit. The car was conceived and built by a highly-skilled engineer, who has fully restored many Bentleys and Jaguars over the years as part of DLB Engineering in Northamptonshire. This Bentley Special was a long time in the planning and the execution has been a labour of love.KBC 570 was commissioned some 10 years ago, utilising a c.1952 Bentley MK6 saloon. Deemed a long way from economic salvation due to typical body corrosion and a conrod that had made a bid for freedom through the side of the engine block. Due to the original engine’s catastrophe a Rolls-Royce B81 straight-eight engine was sourced from an ex-RAF 1966 fire engine, replacing the enormous twin choke Solex carburettor with four SUs to achieve better fuel economy and a lower bonnet line. Now fully rebuilt and detailed, it runs and performs as well as you’d expect, having found its most exciting application at the heart of this Special. To accommodate the extra length of the mighty 6.7-litre straight eight engine, and achieve a more aesthetic look (not present on all Specials), the chassis was extended by some 16-inches at the front, and reduced by the same amount at the rear, all done on a machine table to ensure accuracy, with further supports being added to maintain the MK6’s legendary rigidity (the chassis retains its all-important cruci-form ensuring its inherent strength and integrity were not compromised). This modification has the added advantage of being able to leave the pedals and gearbox in their original positions.To cope with the huge increase in torque, the rear axle was replaced with a Salisbury 4HA unit with a 288/1 ratio from a Jensen Interceptor. The original MK6 brakes were wholly inefficient at best, and absurdly complicated at worst, so the whole system was replaced with a more modern set-up utilising a vacuum servo from a Jaguar Mk7. All fixings and fixtures, where possible, use top-grade stainless steel or aluminium, with local gifted artisan engineers being used to assist with some aspects of the car’s construction.With elegant proportions in hand-built aluminium, finished and trimmed to an equally high standard, plus having a tailored tonneau, this Special is ready to go. There really is an abundance of engineering and visual detail to this car, it needs appreciating in the metal. This is a rare opportunity to own and enjoy a properly engineered Special, at an attractive price point.SpecificationMake: BENTLEYModel: MARK VI 'SPECIAL'Year: 1952Chassis Number: B-166-TNRegistration Number: KBC 570Transmission: ManualEngine Number: TBCDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: OxbloodClick here for more details and images
Just under 34,000 miles with only two previous keepers, this wholly original example is as good as it looks.This is a 1988 Ford Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth (2WD) and is in super original, unmolested condition. First registered on 2nd December 1988, this superb Moonstone Blue example has covered just under 34,000 miles with only two previous owners (both within the same family). A combination of diligent ownership (without extensive modification), minimal use and sheer preservation, now means this Fast Ford is in collector-quality condition.In 1988, the car’s original owner kept it for two years, covering some 15,000 miles, before selling it to a 60-year-old politician, who only used it on special occasions. Upon sadly passing away aged 73, he passed the car onto his son, a garage-owner and mechanic (supported by a letter in the car’s history file). The son maintained the car, only driving it a handful of times to attend some car shows, it mostly being tucked away in dry storage, covered up and only retrieved out for the occasional clean and polish. Having been in the same family for 30 years, the car was subsequently sold in 2021 to our Ford-enthusiast vendor, who fully appreciated its low mileage, wholesomeness, and sheer originality. To wholly ensure this was the case, prior to buying, he had it inspected, and sure enough, the paint was factory-consistent on all panels. Likewise, the panels themselves were straight and true, whilst the wheels and exterior trim were all in original condition, with the spare wheel and jack having never been used. The interior also was in a fine state of preservation, without the regularly seen bolster wear or dashboard cracking. A very fine place to be to experience one of best analogue driving experience of the last 40 years, the 2WD making this all the more visceral.Keen to get the car back up to full health, he spent just over £5,000 to recommission it, including a full service, timing belt discs and pads to the front and rear, new track control arm bushes and drop links, fuel regulator, OEM Graham Goode exhaust system, handbrake cables and new brake calipers on all four corners. The car was now in excellent order, with everything that needed to be done attended to. In standard form, the red-top non-CAT Cosworth engine of the 2WD Sapphires produces 201bhp, with this car benefiting from a (fully reversible) Stage 1 ECU chip upgrade, helping the fuelling, whilst also giving a modest power increase to 248bhp. Having been a proud custodian of this special Ford, with it covering a meagre 200 miles or so since 2018, our vendor has decided to sell it to allow for the purchase of another car.The car comes with previous MOT certificates, plus its handbooks and service booklet. Two sets of keys are included, with the spare key in as-new condition. There are some invoices for work carried out, including the recommissioning work.If you are looking for an unmolested original RS Cosworth, this is probably one of the worthiest candidates currently available; the lighter and rarer version of the Sapphire, this example is one for the Ford Connoisseur. Offered at an attractive price guide, giving the new recipient membership into the exclusive club of RS ownership.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: SIERRA SAPPHIRE COSWORTH 2WDYear: 1989Chassis Number: WF0FXXGBBFJS19022Registration Number: F394 FGNTransmission: ManualEngine Number: JS19022 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 33735 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images
** Saleroom notice** Awaiting new V5 from the DVLA with the new engine number on it Over 1,000 man-hours have been invested in this venerable Defender transforming it into a simply remarkable vehicle. Offered here in Keswick Green, this Defender 90 is no ordinary example as you might expect, after over 1,000 man-hours of careful restoration and innovative development. Now sporting a clever soft-top conversion with roll-cage, the work was carried out by Classic Days Bespoke Vehicles at J. Day Engineering in February 2022. It’s now powered by a standard 3.9-litre Rover V8 and automatic transmission transplanted from a Discovery 1. The donor vehicle had covered 139,000 miles but had been regularly maintained and serviced for many years prior at J. Day Engineering so they knew that the engine was sound. Naturally it was fully dismantled/inspected, serviced and refitted with new auxiliary parts before being installed in the Defender project.As you can see from our images this is a superbly-crafted development, however, viewing in person is the only way to appreciate the quality on offer. To list every aspect of the restoration/conversion would take more space than we have here but we have attached a list of some of the bespoke adaptations.Brand new galvanized Chassis - painted in chassis protector black paint.Brand new bulkhead in body colourRear Tub area - Original tub, finished in body colour, stone guard on underside.

The car that literally drove Margaret Thatcher to power.Manufactured on 24th March 1973, this particular Rover was to play an important role in UK political history, transporting newly-elected, the now late Margaret Thatcher, the UK’s first female Prime Minister, from Conservative Headquarters to Buckingham Place on 4th May 1979 where she accepted Queen Elizabeth II’s invitation to form a new administration. Converted by Hoopers, shortly after rolling off the production line, to Government specification, GYE 329N was to be one of three such examples used for ministerial duties, finished in Ebony Black with a Saddle Tan hide interior.Retired shortly after taking its place on the political stage, the Rover moved into private ownership in 1980 with a recorded mileage at the time of circa 76,000, with approximately 17,000 miles recorded since then. It remains in exceptional condition throughout to this very day. More recently, the paintwork has been refreshed and the engine and gearbox rebuilt, however, and most importantly, the original ’conservative’ interior remains.With a large history file and unquestionable provenance, so much so that it has just been featured in the September issue of Classic & Sportscar Magazine, this venerable Rover P5 is an attractive classic saloon in its own right, however, if we accept that Margaret Thatcher played a hugely significant role in the late 20th century history of the UK and that the Iron Lady's first ever trip as our Prime Minister was in the back seat of GYE 329N, then it does add a certain cachet.Period news reel showing arrival at Buckingham Palace - 6 minutes approx. onwardshttps://youtu.be/B_ArrUijEQ SpecificationMake: ROVERModel: P5Year: 1973Chassis Number: 84019971CRegistration Number: GYE 329NTransmission: AutoEngine Number: 84100688DDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 93000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Saddle Tan HideClick here for more details and images
Number 100 of 100 and finished in special order Graphite Grey Metallic, this rare Tickford Capri has clearly been cherished by its three keepers.Arguably the brainchild of ex-Lotus F1 driver, John Miles, the Ford Capri Tickford Turbo was unveiled in prototype guise at the 1982 Birmingham Motor Show. Developed by Aston Martin Tickford Ltd (the famous Newport Pagnell manufacturer's special projects wing), the newcomer was based on a standard MKIII Capri 2.8 Injection. Visually distinguished by the lift-reducing GRP mouldings on the nose, flanks and tail, the fixed-head was credited with a 0.37 drag coefficient. Reworked with the addition of an IHI turbocharger and Garrett intercooler, its 2,792cc Cologne V6 drove the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox. Upgraded with four-wheel disc brakes, the muscular 2+2 coupé also benefited from power-assisted rack and pinion steering and A-frame reinforced rear suspension. Credited with 205bhp and 260lbft of torque, the high-performance model was capable of 0-60mph in 6.0 seconds and 139.8mph. Priced at an immodest £14,985, it came with Recaro front seats and a leather-topped walnut dashboard as standard. The plan was to reconfigure 250 examples and an initial batch of 100 Injection Capris was purchased from Ford, however, at some 200 man-hours per conversion, the cars proved expensive to build and expensive to sell. Ultimately just 85 or so were completed originally although it's understood that the final 15 were finished a little later.Received by its first owner, a Mr David Sutton of Macclesfield, on the 13th of September 1987, E730 JKV was finished in a special order Graphite Grey Metallic with a Burgundy Leather interior. Within the history file is a well-documented chain of communication from Tickfords to Mr Sutton detailing special requests and options culminating in a total invoice of £20,300 (4 times the cost of a the standard Capri at the time). Listed as number 100 of 100, this is the final production Tickford although three others were built afterwards with clients bringing in their own cars to be converted. The car was optioned with a grey lambswool headlining, re-shaped sun visors covered in the same Burgundy Leather, Stainless Steel Exhaust, twin-dip headlights, Tickford number 100 on the front grille and a Tickford enamel badge on the boot. Mr Sutton enjoyed the car up until 2003 when it was purchased by its second owner who likewise cherished the car up until 2015 when the current custodian became its proud owner.Whilst with its first owner, the engine was totally rebuilt at 84,000 miles along with the gearbox, overseen by Tickford with all the work fully documented. The car comes with two service books fully stamped and an in-depth history file with many invoices from Tickfords. The provenance with this car is second to none and shows just how this car has been loved by its three keepers. Within the file is also photographic evidence of a full body restoration by the second owner which is now some 15 years old, however the car still looks great today. The car has not long had a full service and has an MOT until March next year. Being number 100 and the last car built it is very special and will grace any collection.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: CAPRI 2.8 TICKFORDYear: 1987Chassis Number: WF0CXXGAECGA98877Registration Number: E730 JKVTransmission: ManualEngine Number: GA98877Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 112000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: RedClick here for more details and images
TWR's 1980s range of aftermarket performance updates for the XJ-S included a 6.0-litre V12 engine and a manual gearbox but only one XJ-SC Cabriolet was fitted with both. It's fast, responsive, unique and it's here.According to our vendor, the Jaguar was purchased by its first owner in 1986 and by him in 2018. He notes "I believe from the research that I have undertaken and the history file, that this is the only TWR XJ-SC 6.0-litre manual in existence". It was originally owned by a Mr Turner as a company car and then transferred into Mr. Turner’s private ownership so effectively, our vendor is only the car's second owner.One thing this rare Jaguar is not short of is documentation and from the Jaguar Heritage Certificate we can see that the car was dispatched to Hatfields Jaguar, Sheffield on 17/12/85. Also in the file is the original vehicle invoice dated 9/1/86 for £27,568.00, a receipt from TWR Kidlington dated 12/2/86 and a TWR Enhancement Invoice dated 9/5/86 for £23,554.00. The list of enhancements include TWR wheels, Suspension kit, Brake kit, Engine Efficiency kit, Manual box (5-speed), 6-litre engine, Bright parts colour coding, Security wheel nuts, PAS valve and a rear seat conversion. C800 KWB did not receive the rear spoiler and side skirts which really makes this vehicle rather more subtle. Total cost for the car in 1986 was £51,122.00 which was a vast amount of money at the time, more than a new Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Convertible!There is a hand-written note in the file, following a conversation with Mr. Turner and a Chris Baker of TWR, stating that only 25 manual box, 6.0-litre XJS were produced. C800 KWB is the only Cabriolet and apparently had the highest engine output of all 6-litre conversions at 331bhp.From our vendor; "I purchased the car because of the TWR involvement, a love of motorsport and the rarity of C800 KWB. It drives and corners well, drives low to the ground and the sound of the TWR-enhanced engine compared to a standard XJS is something else. Paul Walton described the drive as engaging, with the car exiting corners with the urgency of a stabbed rat. Paul mentioned it had been several years since he has been able to drive an XJS in such an aggressive manner, the last time being an ETCC Touring Car at Goodwood! He said compared to that dark, cramped and claustrophobic experience, C800 KWB with the roof panels stowed is refined, open and as airy as any convertible Jaguar."Summary List of documents in C800 KWB’s extensive history file includes:Original first registration documents, Jaguar invoices for vehicle (Jaguar New Vehicle Order Form) and TWR enhancements, Jaguar and TWR original sales brochures from 1986, TWR Jaguar Racing brochures, car stickers and other information, original V5C, full service history and MOTs, List of all 39 6.0-litre engines – C800 KWB was number 6 and produced before the demonstrator according to record - Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, Copy of Motor Magazine containing review of TWR XJS and sundry items that came with the car.The article attached in the listing is kindly reproduced courtesy of Jaguar World, August 2021 issue. http://ourmagazines.co.uk/RqOOv SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: TWR XJSCYear: 1986Chassis Number: SAJJNACW3CC128246Registration Number: C800 KWBTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 60895 MilesClick here for more details and images
A rare homage to a rare car. A superb re-creation of the 1968 911R, probably the genesis of all the lightweight 911s that followed.This lovely 911 did indeed start out as a 1975 2.7-litre 911S but was a rare, UK-supplied, right-hand drive car finished in Porsche Light Yellow. Its owner in 2013 had always been interested in recreating one of the very rare lightweight 911Rs that were the stuff of legend, and chose this H-Series Carrera as the perfect base for his re-creation. Some six years before the arrival of, undoubtedly the best known sporting 911 ever, the '73 2.7RS, Porsche’s engineers took four standard 911S models off the production line with the intention of creating an ultra-light 911 to be known as the R (Racing). Weight reduction was the focus and the front cover, wings, doors and bumpers were made of glass-fibre-reinforced polymer, manufactured by the Stuttgart company Karl Baur. The weight reduction affected almost every part of the car. The 911R's windscreen was made of 4mm thin glass, the other glass was replaced with 2mm thick Plexiglas and what was not absolutely necessary has been left out. Purism in its purest form. In the slimmed-down cabin, two of the five instruments were removed as was the winding mechanism for the side windows and simple leather straps replaced the door pulls. Compared to a standard 1967 911 S - which at 1030kg was hardly a heavyweight - the weight reduction was 230 kg in total. Owners of modern GT2 and GT3 911s will recognise these weight saving techniques but this was 1967! After the four original prototypes, a further 20 production 911Rs were built and when one of these original cars comes to market, the numbers are usually North of £400,000.The transformation of this 911S into a 911R homage began in 2013 and was totally painstaking involving huge amounts of detail. Within the history file there is full photographic evidence of the build which started with all rust being eradicated, new sills, diaphragms, B-posts and kidney bowls. The later-type front slam panel was removed in favour of the Porsche early long-bonnet panel together with inner wing extensions. At the same time, the sunroof was removed to aid strength and the whole shell re-painted in Ivory White with a full livery emulating that of the 1969 Tour De France winner, Guy Larrousse . The engine cover was custom-built in GRP along with a three-piece rear bumper and valance and a one-piece front bumper. 911R-spec front wings in GRP were fitted along with steel bowls. High-impact polycarbonate windows were installed except the screen with sliders and vents as per R-spec. A pair of period-correct Recaros were installed trimmed in Alcantara and leather along with a matching dash top. A full roll-cage was fitted and TRS rebranded harnesses to complete the safety aspect.The engine was rebuilt at the same time and the original block (6350106) bored from 2.7 to 2.8-litres and fitted with new pistons by its skilled mechanical owner. Within the car's history file are full details of the engine build and the rest of the work carried out but the list is far too long to include here, however, in September 2021 the car was rolling-road tested and displayed a maximum output of 233bhp, nearly 60 more than the standard car, which seems impressive.Within the history file there are literally thousands of pounds worth of receipts showing the detailed attention lavished on this special Porsche and the file also contains a magazine feature on the car by Classic Porsche in January 2015, an MSA Competition Log Book to cover Hill climbs and Sprints, dated January 2015 and some associated communication with Motor Sports UK, previously Motor Sports Association.

Early four-pot, 3-dial, left-hand drive, SWB car that benefits from a Francis Tuthill engine build.This particular Porsche 912 Coupé, a 3-dial dash car, was supplied new through Chuck Iverson Inc of Newport Beach California in June 1966 where we believe it stayed until importation to the UK in 1999, a true black plate car, specified with the desirable 5-speed gearbox option. In need of some attention at that time, the required refresh was placed in the hands of Specialist Vehicle Preparations of Droitwich in 2014 who were tasked with rebuilding the 912 to FIA specification with the required FIA HTP papers being issued upon completion.Subsequently, and now in the hands of the present owner, a mechanical overhaul was deemed necessary with Francis Tuthill being the go-to workshop. A full engine and gearbox strip and rebuild followed to original 1600 specification including, amongst other things, new barrels and pistons, heater boxes, Solex carburettors and a balanced bottom end, all personally built by Francis Tuthill who estimated 120 – 130 bhp upon completion.Now resplendent in its original hue of Gulf Blue, new carpets, sound deadening and door cards have just been fitted to finish this outstanding 912. It should be noted that the FIA HTP papers issued in 2014 expired in 2019 but we understand that new papers could be issued with very little investment. Complete with extensive history files including its original hand and service books, American paperwork, general invoices for works completed, and the FIA HTP papers from 2014, this is an outstanding Porsche 912 with potential as a fast road or a race / rally car should you be so inclined. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged.

A fully restored, matching numbers example, with many original features. More widely admired than any other Jaguar saloon, the Mk2 now seems synonymous with the 1960s. Leaner looking than its Mk1 forbear, the reduced girth of its roof posts not only gave occupants a far airier glasshouse but also presented onlookers with a rather more elegant shape. Built as a monocoque, it featured independent coil-sprung front suspension, a well-located 'live' rear axle and all-round disc brakes. Available in 2.4-litre, 3.4-litre, and 3.8-litre guises, the larger-engined variants soon became known as capable sports saloons, a reputation underscored by their racing siblings' numerous track victories against assorted opposition. Although slower on paper, the 3.4-litre cars nonetheless boasted some 210bhp and 216lbft of torque, an output more than sufficient to ensure a 120mph top speed and spirited acceleration especially when fitted with the desirable four-speed plus overdrive manual gearbox.The car presented here is a 1961 Jaguar Mk2 3.4 M/OD matching-numbers example, with a fascinating history. The story goes that in 1979 its engine suffered a seizure (later discovered that a cam-chain tensioner part had pierced the sump) and sadly the car was not attended to, and put away in a very well protected garage where it sat for 37 years! Not a great start, but what it did ensure was that, when rediscovered, its originality was safeguarded and, thanks to how it had been stored, it had fared extremely well in terms of bodywork/chassis deterioration. Almost like a time capsule.Seeing the car’s potential, our vendor set about overseeing a most exacting restoration mostly carried out by ‘AMW Restorations’ of Mexborough, spending approximately £35,000 (with 1,500 hours of labour invoiced) to make this car the perfect mix of originality (with details like flat headlamps that often get replaced) and mechanical health. There is a thorough breakdown of all expenses (copy available upon request), with a box of invoices. There are also receipts and invoices from previous keepers, including some history from the pre-1979 owner.Some highlights of the work include a refaced and rebuilt cylinder head, block, crank, and flywheel, a balanced crank, and a set of shiny new pistons (the machining was carried out by R&E Arnett of Doncaster); all new brake calipers, and an overhaul of the master cylinder, braking system, and clutch (by Ward Engineering of Colchester); a new fuel tank, new leaf springs, all new shock absorbers, steering ball joints, bushes, brake pads, and tyres.Slightly over-bored, the Jag's capacity is now 3.6-litres – so watch out you 3.8-litre drivers! Now fitted with 123 ignition, a stainless-steel exhaust and painted wheels, this MK2 is not only a rare survivor but now drives like it was designed to. It has been enjoyed and maintained by our vendor for a few years since its transformation, now properly bedded-in and in tip-top health. A well set-up Mk 2 is a revelation and should be enjoyed by every enthusiast at some point. This may be your opportunity.

Two former keepers, just 21,000 miles and one of only 19 UK-delivered cars. Built to celebrate 60 years of Bentley production at the historic Crewe Factory and one of just 60 produced of which only 19 were in right-hand drive. Special features of the Arnage Diamond Series include diamond-quartered wood marquetry and diamond-quilted leather seat upholstery. Externally, the Diamond Series is distinguished by a stainless steel matrix to the front bumper, new larger diameter 19 inch x 8J twin-spoke alloy wheels, to a unique design, and Union Flag badges to the front wings. A new range of Heritage paint colours was also available.The Arnage Diamond Series also sees the reintroduction of the ‘Flying B’ mascot, a feature that last adorned the radiator of a series production Bentley in the late 1970s. "This collector’s model has one of the most beautifully crafted cabins fitted to any Bentley, says Chairman and Chief Executive, Dr Franz-Josef Paefgen. "It clearly demonstrates the exceptional craftsmanship skills of the Crewe workforce, the culmination of 60 years of experience over several generations. The diamond-quartered marquetry of the Arnage Diamond Series is truly unique in the motor industry".Based on the Arnage R, the Diamond was available with either the 400bhp or, at extra cost, the 450bhp version of the Crewe-designed and produced 6.75 litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine. P9 JXN was first registered in 2006 and utilises the 400bhp twin-turbo, 6.75-litre V8 and automatic transmission.

A very early road-going competition car, with extensive spares package. This venerable road/race S2 vacated the Cheshunt factory in March 1962 and was delivered to its first owner, a Mr A G Shepherd of Ilford, Essex four months later. Our vendor informs us that ‘559 UYM’ has contested and been very competitive in the HSCC’s popular Historic Roadsports series for no less than 15 years, and for the first three seasons of his tenure (2017-2019), it competed without fault during numerous visits to a variety of circuits including Silverstone, Croft, Snetterton, Oulton Park, Anglesey and Spa. Following that spell of hard graft it was treated to an engine and gearbox refresh in preparation for the 2020 season. However, that year of competition was of course lost to COVID 19 and, though the little Lotus has not ventured onto road or track since, it remains ‘good to go’.It is powered by a pre-crossflow Ford engine coupled to a five-speed manual gearbox. The alloy-panelled bodywork is complemented by green fibreglass rear wings and a yellow nosecone, while the car comes with the choice of alloy and fibreglass front wings. The functional driver’s office is trimmed in red and features a fibreglass bucket seat, Momo steering wheel and a pair of Aeroscreens. The Minilite-style alloy wheels are shod with Toyo Proxes tyres, and among the host of additional equipment accompanying the Lotus are: another set of tyres, windscreen, wipers, a full complement of weather gear, long range fuel tank and car cover. The on board safety equipment includes a substantial roll-over bar, Willans harness and plumbed-in fire system. The car will have its windscreen and full front wings back on giving it more of a road car look whilst it's racing pedigree is undoubted. It will also receive a full refresh service, mechanical oils etc ensuring it is fully Day 1 track/road ready.Familiar to the Historic Lotus Register, ‘559 UYM’ is being offered complete with a Lotus Vehicle Provenance Certificate and extensive history.Available by separate negotiation, the vendor also has a purpose-built Ifor Williams enclosed trailer for the Lotus Seven.The trailer has a galvanised chassis with polished aluminium body, and includes internal winch and tyre rack. This is not included in the sale of the Lotus, but can be discussed after the sale if desired.

Subject to a meticulous restoration around 10 years ago and very light use since.During the 1980s, Bantams were manufactured in Warwick by a specialist engineering company, using a steel chassis, fibreglass body and an 80cc Kawasaki engine at the rear. This one was fully rebuilt by the current owner some 10 years ago and has been lightly used by his grandchildren. It’s in very good working order, and attracts a lot of attention when in use at car shows etc. The clutch is automatic, braking is by a rear disc, and the pedal box is adjustable for reach. The colour is Ferrari Rosso, with Jaguar Biscuit leather. In period, there was a manufacturer – backed junior race series for these, held at circuits such as Brands and Silverstone, with many young drivers competing. Top speed of circa 25 mph was possible, but this can be limited as required. As you can see, it’s in great condition, rare, and would make a great gift for a child, or perhaps as a display piece?
