One of only eight H.J. Mulliner Two-Door S3 Continental Coupés, finished in Pine Green and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cars in the world.The Series 3 is perhaps the ultimate post-war Bentley in terms of appearance, performance and practicality, as well as the last medium sized Bentley to be offered with custom coachwork and H J Mulliner of Chiswick were responsible for some of the most iconic and beautiful coachwork designs on post-war Bentley chassis, especially the Continental variants. Their styling of the R-Type and S1 Continental fastback coupés evolved into the S2 Continental Coupé, with the final development being Design No. 2012: the S3 Continental Coupé. The car’s flowing lines were very similar to those of its predecessor, but Mulliner's third-generation Continental was produced in far fewer numbers, with just eight cars in right-hand drive and a further three in left-hand drive.Quad headlamps were the S3's major styling innovation and the indicators on the new models were incorporated into redesigned sidelights, positioned on the front of the wings. Headlamps aside, the most significant change was to the S3's engine, which boasted an increased compression ratio, larger carburettors and a Lucas vacuum-advance distributor, modifications that raised peak power by some 7%. The car’s power steering was further developed offering more feel in the straight ahead position but remaining light and user friendly when trying to ease this substantial automobile into a parking bay. A further minor change was the adoption of smaller bumper over-riders and a slightly reduced radiator height of about 1.5'', giving a sloping bonnet line and improving forward vision. Individual front seats and arm rests became a standard feature, and more powerful lighting and additional indication lights and switches on the instrument panel were introduced, presenting a far more modern feel to the last of the S-series Bentleys.Chassis number BC 88 XA is one of those original eight right-hand drive cars and is recorded as having been completed on 22nd February 1963 and supplied new by H.R. Owen of Mayfair to its first proud owner after being registered and taxed on 1st of March, 1963. It’s finished in a glorious shade of Pine Green with a single gold coach line over a magnificent tan leather interior.There is a fair amount of history with the car and a decent number of invoices for work completed between 1987 and 2005. A Minor Road Test and Workshop Mechanical Report was carried out for the car’s then owner, K.J.Riding Felce, by P&A Wood and their recommendations were carried out as confirmed by a 12-page invoice dated 7th July 1987 and totalling £11,374.27. This work was purely mechanical and system and accessory-related and didn’t involve any bodywork or trim. Further invoices detail servicing and maintenance and the work was always entrusted to well known Bentley specialists including P.J.Fischer, Jack Barclay, M.B.Jarvie, and Broughtons. We note that on 5th December 1988 the car was fitted with seatbelts and a car telephone at a cost of £1,064.33. Within the file there are a substantial number of previous MOT Certificates dating from December 1988 at 80,993 miles (registered 698 JGK and subsequently 1551 DM) up until late April 2010 at 91,313 miles (registered XMW 81A).There are a couple of Bills of Sale with the car indicating that it was purchased by Geoffrey Greenwood on 17th October 1988 for £85,000 and became the property of Dr James Hull on 26th October 2010 for £156,000. In common with the rest of Dr Hull’s extensive Collection, the Continental joined our vendor in 2014. The current indicated mileage is 91,335, meaning that this fabulous motor car has covered a mere 24 miles in the last 23 years so inevitably will need some commissioning before retuning to the road.One of only eight S3 Continentals by HJM, this is a rare car, in decent order, with a gorgeous interior and clothed in a coat of Pine Green so deep that you feel you could dive in. It’s a time capsule on wheels, a wonderful example of how brilliant British coachbuilding could be when talented young designers at James Young, Hooper, Park Ward, and Mulliners were given a box of sharp pencils and a free hand.We welcome and encourage you to come along to Sywell, sit in this elegant Bentley and be smitten.SpecificationMake: BENTLEYModel: S3 CONTINENTAL COUPEYear: 1963Chassis Number: BC 88 XARegistration Number: XMW 81ATransmission: AutoEngine Number: 87ABCDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Tan LeatherClick here for more details and images

Charismatic WWII Dodge pick-up discreetly converted to a modern V8-engined Restomod show vehicle with some really clever touches.Launched in 1939, the WC series of Dodge trucks was to become a wartime staple within military transport circles carrying out numerous roles including ambulances, signals trucks or weapon carriers. Post-war, the truck came into its own as a sturdy and reliable workhorse, with many of the 250,000 built seeing use carrying out civilian duties.This particular example was discovered some years ago peacefully at rest in the hot Arizona sunshine in a remarkably rust-free condition, and was purchased and shipped back to Florida where it received the full restomod treatment to turn it into an everyday usable classic. The build commenced in 2012 and the car's history file contains lots of photographs and details of the whole process.After much research, a modern, low-mileage Dodge Durango SUV which had been involved in a rollover accident was purchased and the bodywork removed. The body from the WC was then expertly repainted in period-correct Stone Beige/Tampico Beige before being transplanted onto the Durango platform, the load area being lined in African Kiat hardwood. A freshly rebuilt 318ci (5.2-litre) V8 was slotted in, mated to a rebuilt 44RE automatic transmission connected via a custom balanced prop-shaft to the rebuilt Durango rear end with 2.42 final drive for relaxed highway cruising and fresh front disc/rear drum braking components.The truck was completely rewired using the wiring harness and fuse system from the Durango, all neatly hidden under the passenger seat. It's fitted with electric windows which, although they look wind-up, are actuated by light pressure on the window winders themselves - a really neat touch. The original vertical Motorola radio is also still in place but cleverly wired up to a modern radio hidden under the dash. Air conditioning has also been discreetly fitted in the glove box and a new compressor installed under the bonnet (this may still need final plumbing-in to get it working). The custom seats were adapted from those on the Durango second row, cut down and recovered in a Saddle Tan leather with door panels to match.Imported to the UK in 2019, the Dodge is correctly UK-registered complete with a V5C and accompanied by a fresh MOT Certificate issued prior to the sale. An outstanding example of 1940s Americana cleverly updated for modern use, a true ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’. If you enjoy country shows, militaria and commercial vehicle gatherings, then we can't imagine what else you could buy for this guide price that would be as much fun.Professional images to follow shortly.SpecificationMake: DODGEModel: WC PICK UPYear: 1941Chassis Number: 81149028Registration Number: LXS 353Transmission: AutomaticDrive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: Saddle Tan leatherClick here for more details and images

One of the last 5.3 V12 convertibles built with a notable long-term first owner and less than 10,500 miles from new.The XJ-S debuted as a V12-powered Coupé and Jaguar's first response to demands for an open-top version was somewhat conservative in engineering terms. The XJ-S had not been designed with an open version in mind, so the Targa-style arrangement was adopted during the mid-1980s for the XJ-SC, essentially an exercise in niche marketing to test public reaction. By 1988 and now convinced that there was indeed a market for a full convertible and having engineered an electronically retractable hood, the new car was launched.An instant hit, it helped secure the model’s production for another eight years, the 5.3 V12 was standard for the Convertible until a re-launch under Ford in 1991. Having now dropped the hyphen, the new XJS was mildly facelifted with smoked rear light clusters and a new instrument layout. Now available with a 4.0 six-cylinder engine, buyers either chose this all new engine or waited for the 1992 introduction of the 6.0 V12. As such, this car was to be one of the very few 5.3 V12 Convertibles to be ordered new during 1992, and among the last so produced.Ordered in the beautifully traditional, and rare for the period, combination of Jaguar Racing Green and magnolia interior with cream hood, the car was supplied by Dutton-Forshaw of Preston to Mr Anthony Lofthouse of Blackpool on the 1st August 1992. The Lofthouse name has been synonymous with one thing since 1865, a lozenge that we know as the Fisherman’s Friend. It gained worldwide popularity when Mr Lofthouse’ wife, Doreen, saw its potential for export in the early 1960s. Mr Lofthouse died in 2018, and Doreen left £41,000,000 in her 2021 Will to charitable causes.The car was sparingly used by Mr Lofthouse with service stamps showing main dealer visits on 11th April 1994 at 917 miles and 16th April 1998 at 2,990, miles with incremental mileage increases until he sold the car in 2013 having covered some 9,800 miles from new. Bought by a Mr Barnes of Lytham St Annes who used the car even less, covering a couple of hundred miles until the purchase by the third and current registered keeper, a Mr Mursell of Essex on 10th October 2021. Patently well cared for, the car presents beautifully today with an odometer reading of less than 10,500 miles at the time of cataloguing.Presented to auction with a history file including receipts, bookpacks, sales brochure, owner’s cassette tape, service book, Dutton-Forshaw tax disk holder, both sets of keys, toolkit, previous and current V5C documents. The car will be freshly serviced by a Jaguar main dealer in readiness for the auction and the advisory free MOT history is up to date, with the current certificate valid until 3rd March 2024.This car is of interest not just as the final curtain call of the legendary 5.3 V12 nor the long term ownership funded by a Fisherman’s Friend but as a low mileage car to grace the open road or a serious collection.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XJS CONVERTIBLEYear: 1992Chassis Number: SAJJNADW3EP185311Registration Number: K487 JSOTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 8S086693SF Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 10500 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Magnolia LeatherClick here for more details and images

A stylish and extremely useable 'classic' allowing you to arrive in style whether that be the local Garden Fete or The Goodwood Revival!Introduced in 1952, the Allard P2 Safari Estate car was designed to accommodate six people and 45 cubic feet of luggage (or 95 cubic feet with the rear seat folded down). The work of Dudley Hume, David Hooper, Sydney Allard and Reg Canham, its tubular chassis frame was equipped with J2X-type independent front suspension, a De Dion back axle, Marles cam-gear steering and Lockheed 12'' drum brakes. Available with a choice of Ford, Cadillac or Chrysler V8 engines allied to a 3-speed manual transmission, the newcomer's performance belied its generous dimensions.In the years immediately following WWII, steel was in short supply, amongst many other things, however, what was not in short supply was aluminium sheeting (from dismantled aircraft) and carpentry skills (no longer required building Wellington bombers and, happily, fewer coffins were required). Car manufacturers were resurrecting pre-war models but the lack of fresh steel was a problem so one or two enterprising builders went back to constructing timber-framed rear sections with non load-bearing aluminium panels. These were not the glamorous shooting-brakes from years past but utilitarian vehicles helping small businesses get re-established. The Government of the day helped by classing these wooden framed vehicles as 'Commercial' therefore reducing the amount of Purchase Tax that was payable. Being a bit lighter, a small capacity engine would do the same job enabling further economies at a very difficult time.By 1952, however, things were looking a bit brighter with the Festival of Britain in 1951, the end of food rationing and steel mills starting to fulfil orders for the Motor Industry. Successful race and rally driver and builder of fine road cars, Sydney Allard, had been thinking about building a timber-framed utilitarian commercial vehicle for some time but, as time went by, parts of the equation didn't really appeal and, as big V8 engines were in his DNA, the decision was taken to construct an American-style 'Woodie' using his Allard P2 Monte Carlo two-door, four-seater saloon as a base and the Safari arrived.The Safari was essentially a hand-built luxury car with polished wood facias and door caps, full hide interiors and acres of room in the interior, whilst the exterior was not left lacking in luxury appeal with the spacious timber-framed bodywork underlining the dedication and skill of traditional craftsmen working with steel, wood and leather. With internal heating a standard fixture as well as adjustable steering, door operated interior lights and an automatic reversing light, the Allard was in many ways ahead of its time.This particular 5.4-litre Cadillac-powered Safari was delivered new in January 1953 to a gentleman residing in Wolverhampton, however he was to part with it some six months later. We believe it then had several long-term owners before requiring some restorative attention in the 1980s. A long and exhaustive restoration followed with the car being finished in an eye-catching shade of Bronze, latterly being changed to a more conventional shade of British Racing Green with a black Everflex roof. It has formed part of a large collection with little or no use and, whilst in generally good condition, an element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once again.It's a little ironic that the concept of using bits of used alloy, sawn-off timber lengths and out of work carpenters to help a cash-strapped Britain get back on its feet morphed, within a few short years, into the glorious, extravagant, Cadillac-powered leviathan that we are delighted to offer today. The Allard Register have confirmed that 13 P2 Safaris were built with only four, or possibly five remaining.We feel that this is quite an important car historically, representing a moment when the black clouds of the war years were blowing away, the sun had come out and Britain was waking up.SpecificationMake: CAVModel: ALLARD P2Year: 1953Chassis Number: P24003Registration Number: NLD 412Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 1456291/3Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Brown leatherClick here for more details and images

Rarely do these beautiful and well-engineered R107 Roadsters come to market in such lovely condition.It’s hard to believe that the R107 Mercedes SL is now over 50 years old, yet in 1971 this new chapter in the history of the SL sports car began. It was the first SL with a V8 engine, it had a thoroughly modern new design. It was a self-confident motor car; sporty yet luxurious and quick yet comfortable. In many ways it was, and remains, the perfect convertible. The new SL featured a number of safety-related technical innovations such as defined crumple zones, high-strength steels in the A-pillars, a windscreen frame with bonded glass, padded surfaces and deformable elements in the interior. From March 1980, ABS was available and from January 1982, a driver’s airbag and belt tensioners. The ultimate engine choice in Europe was to be found with the all-alloy, overhead-camshaft V8 500 SL of 1980, with 240bhp available (bearing in mind a Porsche 911 offered a ‘mere’ 204bhp at the time). Over time, the interiors became even more luxurious, the car’s weight was reduced with new alloy bonnets and boot lids and the suspension and brakes continued to be developed until it was replaced by the R129 in 1989. The 'R107' SL was a classic almost as soon as it ended its 18-year production run and today they make perfectly usable daily drivers, especially when, as with this example, they come with a factory hardtop.The 500 SL on offer here dates from early 1985 and is splendidly finished in Blue Black Metallic with Mexican Hat alloys and a lovely light grey interior in leather and MB-Tex. It's been enjoyed by just four former keepers and has covered a recorded 78,584 miles. The specification is extensive, including a top-tint windscreen, cruise control, ABS, heated seats, air conditioning, central-locking and the familiar Mercedes fire extinguisher. With attention to detail and originality at the forefront of the current owner’s mind, it should be noted that an original tool roll remains in place alongside an unused first aid kit. Also accompanying the car is an interesting history file with associated service paperwork, previous MOT history and the car will have a fresh MOT prior to our sale. It's also accompanied by indoor and outdoor covers, a hardtop stand and a set of later Mercedes alloys should you wish to update the look of this beautiful 500SL. With outstanding paintwork, a superb interior, a newly fitted hood and a colour-matched hardtop, this is a simply exceptional example of these timeless roadsters and will reward any inspection.

Believed to be one of only two H.J. Mulliner Drophead Coupés, this late production example was first delivered to the BSA Chairman Sir Bernard Docker. Sporting a delightful patina, the Bentley retains its original interior.Launched in 1955 as a replacement for the long-running Mark VI/R-type, Bentley’s new S-type was more closely related to the equivalent Rolls-Royce, the Silver Cloud, than ever - radiator and badges apart, there were no differences between the two. Under the stately bonnet Bentley’s superb six-cylinder engine was revised with a light alloy cylinder head and the new box-section chassis boasted many improvements, including hydraulic brakes all round. The perfectly proportioned, traditional styling of the S-Type and Silver Cloud was by John Blatchley and to this day remains the very epitome of British luxury motoring. Although Standard Steel coachwork was fitted to the vast majority of chassis built, there were still a small number of cars bodied by independent coachbuilders such as H.J.Mulliner, Park Ward and James Young, however, the unitary construction of the S-Type’s successor and all subsequent models, all but ended such a traditional association.Completed on the 4th September 1959, B20HA is one of just two convertibles styled to Body Design Number 7492 by H.J.Mulliner. Bentley Works paperwork in the file contains details of the car’s initial build. The order reference was BS:5897 and the finished car was scheduled to be delivered on 27.08.1959 so it was a week late. The car was to be finished in Shell Grey with a Putty coloured hood and Red upholstery. Specific options included “No. plates XXA 262 supplied and fitted, Radio 200R, Dunlop tubeless tyres, Electrically operated windows, Power operated hood, Hood cover, Badge bar with 4 badges, Zip-fasteners to backlight and finally, Initials ‘BD’ to doors”. We understand that the car's final cost was £7,266 which would have bought a couple of comfortable three-bed homes in 1959.That ‘BD’ referred to the cars first owner, Sir Bernard Docker KBE, of Claridge House, London W1. Sir Bernard was the Managing Director of the BSA grup of companies, Chairman of Daimler and the Anglo-Argentine Tramways Company and was awarded a Knighthood for his work as the Chairman of Westminster Hospital. The Bentley was a present for his second wife Norah Collins, a former showgirl. She was the widow of Sir William Collins, the President of Fortnum & Mason and also the widow of Clement Callingham, the head of Henekeys wine and spirit merchants.You have to respect Lady Norah’s perspicacity in marrying (and outliving) three millionaire husbands but, we understand, that she may have been a bit of a nightmare. Her notorious parties on their 863-tonne Motor Yacht Shemara, her outrageous spending, talking her husband into commissioning a gold-plated Daimler for her, and her outspoken approach meant that during the fifties she was seldom out of the tabloid newspapers who christened her “Naughty Norah”. There are books written about her escapades but, inevitably things started to take a turn for the worse when the Rainiers banned her from Monaco, and indeed the whole of the Cote d’Azure, a similar thing happened in Jersey when they moved there and she finally ended up in Majorca.B20HA passed briefly through the hands of agent Neville Hamwee who managed to find the car’s next owner on 29/11/1960.(It was never registered in his name). Incredibly it was another vivacious young woman, Maureen, Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava who was equally newspaper worthy but more The Times and Country Life. She was originally Maureen Guinness, heir to the brewing family, friends with the Royal Family and the original society "It Girl" as christened by the press. She was a blonde-haired, pre-war beauty, who dated celebrities and the aristocracy, was photographed for Vogue by Cecil Beaton and was the inspiration for Osbert Lancaster's cartoon character, Maudie Littlehampton. She too had three husbands and kept her first husbands title, the Fourth Marquess of Dufferin. She owned the Bentley for 25 years until late 1985 when it was sold to James Carroll of Bexleyheath for £22,000. There is correspondence in the file between the Marchioness and Mr Carroll some of which refers to Mr Carroll’s intention to restore the car and possibly change the colour.The next set of invoices in the file are from 1997 addressed to Mr and Mrs Carroll from P.J.Fischer Classic Automobiles of Putney. A quote from them refers to sorting out some paint issues “on lower blue section of body”. A substantial five-page invoice from them totalling £6,244.46 and dated 17/02/1997 details lots of work to the car which appears to be all mechanical and not cosmetic.The Bentley’s next owner was Godfrey Hickton of Worcester who acquired it on 18/05/2007. Shortly afterwards it appears that he commissioned Lea Francis Cars (Barry Price) of Alcester to restore the car and return it to its original Shell Grey. There are dozens of invoices and bits of correspondence between the owner and Lea Francis, all hand-written and hard to read, but it appears that many thousands of pounds had been invested with Lea Francis with the work still carrying on over two years later. At some point in 2009, it appears that Mr Hickton sadly passed away, as the final batches of invoices were addressed to the 'Executors of R Hickton' and the V5C lists the new owner as Mrs Jane Hickton on 19/07/2010. There is an invoice in the file from Hampton Coachtrimming for £3,989 dated 17/06/2010 for a complete new hood and associated parts.B20HA was then acquired by the legendary collector of British cars, Dr James Hull and, in common with the rest of Dr Hull’s extensive Collection, joined our vendor in 2014. There is only one further invoice in the file since then and it’s from Denyer Classic Cars on 04/06/2018 and appears to be for a service and recommission including all fluids, filters, coolant system flush, brake service (master-cylinder seals, hoses and a bleed), road test and an MOT.XXA 262 is accompanied by old tax discs, MOTs, V5Cs, the aforementioned history file with period newspaper articles, 3 x Original Bentley Instruction Books, Smiths Radiomobile operating instructions, the Maintenance Instructions for the hood operation, and instruction booklets for the heating and air Conditioning and the automatic gearbox.With a mileage of less than 50,000, at least two restorations and being one of only two cars built to this design, B20HA is a very desirable coachbuilt Bentley in its own right, but, for many of us, its fascination lies with its first two owners. Arriving in High Society from diametrically opposed corners of the social spectrum, these attractive, vivacious, captivating women managed to find six millionaire husbands, fill newspaper pages for a decade and are still known as ‘Naughty Norah’ and the ‘It Girl’ over sixty years later. There can’t be many society events that B20HA hasn’t attended and a few secrets it’s been asked to keep!

Lovely manual gearbox C2 from 26-years ownership in fabulous condition and benefitting from an exceptional service history.The 993 was the final generation of the air-cooled 911, and as such will always have a special place in the affections of Porsche enthusiasts. It's also widely said to be the last of the 911s that were built whilst engineering integrity overruled accounting pressures at Porsche. 20 years on, it still looks modern - a truly timeless design. It was introduced in the autumn of 1994 and was claimed to be 80% new with more curvaceous bodywork and a number of new panels creating a much smoother and more integrated look, however, importantly, this new style was still every inch a 911 in the traditional manner, with the profiles of the doors and rear quarter windows remaining unchanged from earlier models.The biggest change under the skin of the new 911 - the 933 - was the new multi-link rear suspension, giving greater driver confidence, less road noise and excellent ride quality. Designed to give a level of passive rear-wheel steering (the 'Weissach effect'), thus controlling the way the suspension behaved under cornering, braking and acceleration, it transformed the 911. It was also the first 911 to be equipped with power steering and an advanced ABS system. Utilising the same 3.6-litre engine as the 964, mated to a development of the worthy G50 gearbox, but now with six forward gears or the smooth Tiptronic automatic gearbox, the 993 from 1995 produced 272bhp enabling a top speed of over 150mph and acceleration to match.Silverstone Auctions are proud to offer this beautiful Carrera 2 that has a service record which is second to none with 19 stamps in the book with Official Porsche Dealers Reading (AFN) and Swindon. The story begins, however, when our vendor purchased the Porsche in July 1997 from Porsche Zentrum in Dusseldorf whilst working in Germany. A few months later, in September 1997, he returned to the UK bringing the Porsche with him consequently ensuring a continuity of maintenance that’s truly impressive over his 26 years of ownership.Finished in Polar Silver Metallic, it's fitted with the optional premium softer black leather interior which has been treated twice annually since 1997 and still looks perfect today. Factory-fitted options included 'Sports' suspension (10mm lower and slightly stiffer), automatic air-conditioning, electric heated and adjustable seats, a limited-slip differential, power steering, a Blaupunkt radio and CD player, onboard computer and 17’’ cup-design alloy wheels. For UK driving, it has twin rear fog lights and adjustable dipped beam.Part of the 911's perennial appeal is the purity of line of the early cars, often compromised by the later addition of protrusions, however, devoid of a sunroof, rear wash wipe and high-level brake light, the top line of this 993 is wind-tunnel perfect.The car's overall condition is exceptional and testament to our owners care and attention. There are a couple of very minor blemishes, commensurate with its 74,983 miles (120,572km) and it still rides on OE-fit Bridgestone Potenzas. The carpets have always had over mats and the interior is immaculate. The original speedometer (supplied with the car) was replaced with a newly manufactured Porsche unit in August 2021 with the mileage showing 115,304km and the new unit now reads 5,268km. It comes with its original Porsche box and the change is documented in the service record.In June 2022, the car toured Europe in a convoy of fellow Porsche enthusiasts and behaved perfectly, covering 2,200 trouble-free miles in two weeks. Subsequently, in August 2022, it was issued with a fresh MOT Certificate indicating 'no advisories'. Garaged and cosseted all of its life, this is a super example of the last of the air cooled 911s in exactly the specification you would want and, short of going back onto its German plate, it's about as original as you could hope to find.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 (993)Year: 1995Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99ZSS314488Registration Number: M278 UDPTransmission: ManualEngine Number: M6405-635 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 121000 KMMake: LHDClick here for more details and images

The almost mythical V-Spec R34 GT-R. This modestly guided example might be the final opportunity to acquire a GT-R V-Spec at a sensible budget.The R33 GT-R was a good car, but many found it to be too bulky in design and too heavy to be a worthy successor to the R32 GT-R, which the R34 sought to rectify, and did so with flying colours. Released with a shorter, sharper design and the performance to match, it’s safe to say the bite truly matches the bark. For a car released in 1999, the R34 came crammed full of technology including a 5.8" LCD multifunction display in the dashboard, showing seven different live readings of engine and vehicle statistics such as boost pressure, oil/water temperature and throttle percentage amongst others.It arrived with aggressive new styling, a stiffer bodyshell and a reworked version of the bulletproof and highly modifiable RB26DETT twin-turbo inline-six mated to an all-new Getrag 6-speed gearbox and transfer case. The electronically controlled Super HICAS rear-wheel steering system was retained. Unlike some other performance cars of the 1990s, Nissan did not neglect the braking system and fitted Brembo brakes with 300mm vented discs, although further upgrades were available from after-market suppliers to cope with later increases in power.The V-Spec (Victory Specification) was offered with a number of upgrades over the standard R34 GT-R and came equipped with arguably one of the most technically sophisticated four-wheel drive/steer chassis in the world: the ATTESA E-TS Pro system. The V-Spec also benefited from an active limited-slip differential at the rear, firmer suspension and lower ground clearance, as well as a rear carbon fibre air-diffuser.The right-hand drive Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec on offer here was first registered in Japan in February 1999 by its original owner who kept it until 2015. It was enjoyed by its second keeper for a further two years and subsequently exported to the UK and registered here in October 2017, at which point it was purchased by our vendor to add to his private collection.Finished in gleaming Nissan White (QM1), the car's incredible condition belies its 24 years and 164,085km (101,958 miles) however, having been in our vendor's private Collection for a number of years the car might need some light recommissioning. It's accompanied by its V5C, original manuals etc., Japanese Shakens (the very stringent two-year inspection), a photocopy of the original Japanese Export Certificate (for the DVLA) and the car will have a fresh UK-MOT prior to the sale. With its aluminium rear wing and alloys as delivered on the car new, these early versions of the R34-generation Nissan Skyline GT-R series are coveted by collectors because they are increasingly difficult to find, particularly in standard form. This V-Spec example is very rare in the UK.This car represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a rare example of arguably the fastest appreciating modern classic in the fastest appreciating sector of the market which showcases just how capable these Japanese manufactures were at building phenomenal cars for both road and track. The imminent end of the 25-year import regulations in the US means that, in a year or so, the whole of America will be a market for the R34 GT-R V-Spec possibly rendering this one of your better investments and, in the meantime, you can enjoy this hugely competent Japanese 'rocket-ship'.

With beautiful Giugiaro-styled bodywork and a glorious Ferrari V6 soundtrack, this Fiat Coupé from 1969 is undoubtedly one of the best we have ever seen. In the mid-1960s, Ferrari needed a 2-litre production-based engine for their new Formula 2 cars and conceived the mid-engined Dino 206 to provide the necessary basis. Since the late 1950s, Ferrari's V6-engined sports-racers had used the Dino name, after Enzo Ferrari's late son, Alfredino, who had died in 1956, and this was duly applied to the new road car. Indeed, at this time, it was intended that it would be the first of an entirely separate marque. However, faced with the daunting task of building 500 units per annum to meet the FIA's homologation requirements, Ferrari turned to FIAT for assistance, with the resulting agreement for the latter to build the Dino's four-cam V6 engine leading to a spin-off model for FIAT.Launched in Pininfarina-bodied, two-seat Spider form at the 1966 Turin Show, the FIAT Dino carried its 2.0-litre, 160bhp engine ahead of the driver in a conventional manner, and was notable as the first FIAT to employ four overhead camshafts and a limited-slip differential as standard. Steel bodied, the newcomer employed a FIAT 5-speed gearbox and featured independent front suspension by means of wishbones and coil springs, a live rear axle, and disc brakes all round. A longer-wheelbase 2+2 Coupé with Giorgetto Giugiaro-penned Bertone coachwork appeared the following year at the Geneva Salon and was much-acclaimed for its good looks and clever design. In 1969, both Ferrari and Fiat introduced new 2.4-litre Dino models with the aim of increasing torque and usability. In addition to the larger displacement, amongst other notable improvements were a ZF gearbox, FIAT 130-type trailing-arm independent rear suspension and updated switchgear and trim.Offered here is a truly stunning Dino 2400 Coupé finished in Passion Red Metallic with an immaculate tan leather interior. It’s a second-series example featuring the larger 2.4-litre, 180bhp Ferrari engine from the Dino 246 with triple carburettors and a dog-leg ZF 5-speed gearbox as standard.Originally despatched to an Italian dealer, it subsequently moved to Germany and onwards to Switzerland where it was re-registered in 1973. In 1990, the Dino was imported to the UK by the late Michael Sellers, son of renowned car collector Peter Sellers, as confirmed by the club registry and a letter addressed to ‘Mr Sellers’ for work undertaken in 1990. It underwent a full body restoration in the mid-2000s and was subject to a full engine rebuild and gearbox overhaul by DK Engineering in 2017. Further maintenance work was carried out by Dino UK in 2019 and the timing chains were adjusted by Light Cars Action in August 2022.The Dino’s history file is contained within a leather-bound DK Engineering binder and includes all the invoices for work carried out in the UK and a current V5C ready for transfer or export. The file makes for fabulous reading, with a plethora of old MOTs, DVLA correspondence, handwritten invoices for work undertaken in the 1990s in English and German, masses of invoices for parts and labour from the likes of Superformance in the 1990s through to the mid-2000s. You can really paint a picture of what this car has seen and done over the years by immersing yourself within this fascinating history file. It’s also accompanied by a copy of the Dino Handbook in Italian, and two Fiat Dino 2400 handbooks on ‘Specifications and Features’.During our fastidious vendor’s ownership, the car has seen an exceptionally strong level of maintenance simply with perfection in mind, and this attention to detail has been rewarded with much success and admiration culminating in an invitation to grace the lawn at the 2021 London Concours d’Elegance.You are welcome and encouraged to view this remarkable 2400 Coupé to appreciate the sheer quality on offer.SpecificationMake: FIATModel: DINO 2400 COUPEYear: 1969Chassis Number: 135BC0003725Registration Number: FYY 208HTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 06345Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 35700 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: Tan LeatherClick here for more details and images

Top-of-the-range, Special Equipment XK140 Roadster in a lovely colour combination from 29-years long-term ownership.Jaguar Cars launched the XK140 at the London Motor Show in October 1954 and it remained in production until 1957. Rather than being an uncompromised sports car, the 140 was a much more comfortable and capable long-distance machine than its predecessor, the XK120, and featured a raft of improvements over the earlier car. The styling was enhanced with a revised grille with fewer and thicker slats and larger bumpers, along with new rear lights, which now incorporated the indicators. The handling was improved by rack and pinion steering and telescopic dampers with the interior space enlarged to allow the addition of occasional rear seats for the Fixed Head Coupé.The power unit remained Jaguar's well-tried 3.4-litre twin-cam six, which now produced 190bhp in standard trim thanks to higher-lift camshafts and revised porting. To ensure reliability, steel bearing caps replaced the previous cast-iron type. A close-ratio gearbox enabled better use to be made of the increased performance whilst a Laycock de Normanville overdrive became an option for the first time. Special Equipment (SE) XK140s were fitted with wire wheels and Lucas fog lamps as standard and could be ordered with an engine developing 210bhp courtesy of the 'C'-type cylinder head, these top of the range models being suffixed ‘MC’.This lovely example is indeed a 210bhp SE ‘MC’ and dates from 1956. It’s finished in a delightful colour combination of Cotswold Blue over light grey leather and sits on silver-painted wire wheels. Purchased from Porters in Kensington in 1996, purchase receipt in the file, it has been with our vendors for the last 29 years and appears to have been fully enjoyed on rallies both nationally and internationally, on Drive-It days within the UK and excursions in France, Greece and even Australia!It remains ‘matching numbers’ but, unusually it appears it was converted from left to right-hand drive in 1956, the year it was built. It was restored in 1993/4 by Alscot Garage in Warwickshire with invoices on file and a handwritten summary sheet of all the work undertaken at the time. The history file makes for pleasant reading with plenty of invoices for maintenance and servicing, handwritten correspondence, an original operating manual and old MOTs. Recent history includes a mechanical refresh by Bell Classics along with older significant bills from Cambridge Motorsport and Classic Autos of Hertfordshire.The XK appears largely standard with its smooth revving and glorious sounding 3.4-litre Jaguar inline-six attached to its original 4-speed gearbox and Laycock de Normanville overdrive with the necessary addition of a Kenlowe fan. The condition of the car is lovely, with a gently patinated interior and paintwork that’s good, but not perfect, totally in keeping with an older restoration and 29 years of fun.It’s so nice to come across a mechanically sound, much-loved 1950s classic Jaguar that you could just jump in and go anywhere.

Rightfully the most hyped production car in recent history, this Platinum White Circuit Pack car has covered just 2,200 miles.When Toyota decided that they wanted their many years of success in International Rallying to continue, the initial problem was selecting a model that was going to be competitive in coming years. The regulations that govern WRC rallying dictate that your car must be based on an existing road car, a process known as ‘homologation’, and although your rally car can deviate from the road formula in many areas, in most key ones it can’t. In the past, manufacturers were able to get around this because the regs didn’t insist on too many road-going versions, maybe 2,000 or even less, however, that figure is now 25,000. Few manufacturers would even countenance building 25,000 seriously focussed rally cars, and hope to find homes for them but Toyota, always up for a challenge, did just that. Based on their successful little Yaris, and developed alongside their Gazoo Racing World Rally Team, the GR Yaris made its debut in late 2020.This technological miracle may look like a Yaris but the similarities are few and far between. The roof is carbon fibre saving 3.5kg, the door skins, bonnet and tailgate are aluminium, removing another 24kg, and the front half of the chassis is Yaris but the rear is adapted from the Corolla and CH-R. It has the Yaris’ 2,560mm wheelbase, its light clusters, door mirrors and roof fin but that’s about it. Under the bonnet is the world’s most powerful production three-cylinder engine, a 1.6-litre with 257bhp and 266lb/ft. It features a unique block, bespoke pistons and a single-scroll, ball-bearing turbo to reduce weight with the engine itself being hydraulically mounted on one side to reduce vibration and unwanted movement. All cars were fitted with a 6-speed manual gearbox and a remarkably light, four wheel-drive system with an Aluminium central transfer case and Sport and Track Modes. At the rear, there’s an electronically-controlled clutch pack to divide torque between the wheels.When new, the GR Yaris was available with a Convenience Pack or, as here, the Circuit Pack (£3,500) designed for drivers who want the ultimate in handling response and precision. This option included lightweight 18-inch BBS forged alloys, retuned suspension, mechanical front and rear Torsen diffs, red brake calipers and Michelin Pilot 4S tyres.Finished in Platinum White Pearl and fitted from new with the Circuit Pack option, this is a UK-supplied GR that’s being offered from its first registered keeper. Just 2,200 miles have been covered including its first service at 600 miles and a health check at 1,600 miles, and the car is in the sort of condition that you might expect considering its tiny mileage and fastidious ownership. Being offered at a very sensible and tempting guide price, this is a true modern-day ‘homologation special’, yet effortless everyday transport and currently, undoubtedly super cool.SpecificationMake: TOYOTAModel: YARIS GR CIRCUIT PACKYear: 2022Chassis Number: JTDAF4E300A018022Registration Number: FV22 FRXTransmission: ManualEngine Number: G160028492Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 2200 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black SuedeClick here for more details and images
