1966 Morris Minor 2 door saloon Fitted with front disc brakes and an alternator Registration: VTB 82D Chassis: MA2S5D1123799 Odometer: 30600 Transmission: Manual MOT: Exempt No Reserve . MOT certificates dating back to 1970 . Fitted with heated rear window and a reversing light . Supplied with a CD player . Fitted with the original interior . Fitted with disc brakes, electronic ignition, alternator and spin on oil filter conversion . Offered with a collection of paperwork dating back to 1970 Outside This characterful Moggy is suffering from rust and bubbling on most exterior panels that will need some sort of treatment to delay the spread. All 4 Bridgestone tyres are in good order with plenty of tread remaining. Inside The red vinyl and carpet interior presents better than the exterior, with some sagging in the drivers seat base, drivers door pull strap is looking thread bare and there is a tear in the vinyl in the foot well area. The carpets are in good condition front and rear as is the headlining and rear bench seat. Mechanicals The engine starts and runs well and we've driven the car around the yard, been through all the gears and used the brakes, which work as well as you'd expect. History Supplied new on 1st March 1966 and registered by Lancashire County council and still pleasingly carrying its original registration number. Updated over the years with the sensible modifications of front disc brakes, alternator, electronic ignition and a spin on oil filter which all make for a much more useable vehicle and potentially a daily driver. Our Opinion Clearly the Morris has some issues to areas of the bodywork it already has some desirable upgrades mentioned above, so this is a car that can be used, enjoyed and improved as and when time allows. The Minors are great fun to own, easy to work on, with a plentiful supply of inexpensive spare parts and supported by the superb Morris Minors owners club.
2004 Porsche Boxster S 3.2 litre 2 door convertible Recent IMS bearing, clutch, alternator and 22 stamps in the service book Registration: BX04 UZS Chassis: WP0ZZZ98Z4U641413 Odometer: 73500 Transmission: Manual MOT: January 2024 Guide £8,000-£10,000 · Full book pack including fully stamped (22) service book · Supplied with Porsche certificate of authenticity · Bills for £5200 in the past three years · Comprehensive history file dating back until new in 2004 · Supplied with two keys · Recent work carried out by marque experts RPM and Paul Garland Ltd · Fitted with Super sound exhaust system and manifold Outside The cars arctic silver paintwork presents extremely well with very few imperfections which consist of a few small stone chips to the frontal area's, a small scuff to front off side bumper in front of the wheel and a very small dent on the boot lid less than the size of a 5 pence piece which looks like its come from some closing the boot lid onto something. The hood is in excellent condition with no tears or rips and no deformation. All four of it's 18 inch Carrera wheels are damage free with each one showing signs of corrosion to the paintwork around the centre caps. The centre caps have also dulled with age and can be replaced inexpensively. Inside The interior of this Boxster is near perfect which can only be faulted on the slightest of wear on the drivers seat bolster. The black carpets are good and the cabin is dry and damp free. It also has that familiar Porsche smell which seems to have disappeared in the later generation cars. Mechanical The car pulls well through all 6 gears and stops effectively and straight, with the Super Sound sports exhaust not being too intrusive as some can be. All the while you are accompanied by the throaty flat 6 induction noise from that wonderful 3.2 S engine. All for tyres are in good condition with plenty of tread left. History The service history book has 5 stamps from various Porsche centres the last being Porsche Centre West London in 2015 at 33,380 from which time the maintenance is taken over by specialists including Zuffenhaus, RPM Specialist Cars and Paul Garland. Its last service being carried out by Paul Garland on 22/03/2021 at 63340 miles.

Optional extras fitted when new include 18” Carrera wheels, CD box and autochanger, wheel centres with Porsche crest, top tinted screen, electronic air conditioning, park assist sensors, on board computer, Bose surround system with wind deflector, side skirts, Porsche crest embossed on head rests.

Offered with a full book pack which evidences a full and comprehensive service history from new, its clear this Porsche has been lovingly maintained throughout its life. On the road, the Porsche is a delight to drive, the clutch being light and the whole package is tight and responsive. No need to use the audio equipment, just drop the roof and listen to the fabulous exhaust note. This car wants for nothing and is ready to use and enjoy for the season, and sure fire solid investment.
1970 MG B Roadster 1798cc convertible Registration: YTJ400J Chassis: GHN5215162G Odometer: 62701 Transmission: Manual with overdrive MOT: Exempt . Offered on behalf of a deceased estate Outside This MGB suits the British racing green paintwork with the bodywork and panels nice and straight. It has been subject to a re-paint at some time in its life and over time the paint finish has a tarnished look to it in places along with some micro blistering. These imperfections maybe rectifiable by a professional paint correction process, although we would recommend serious bidders to come and inspect the paintwork before bidding. There is rust bubbling along the seams between the wings and the scuttle panel, the chrome work is generally good with some pitting to areas including the front and rear bumpers, and the aluminium windscreen surround also looks like it needs a good polish up. There is some surface rust on the n/s front wing near where the door meets the wing. The hood is in good condition with rips or tears although it has slightly discoloured from its original black and their is also a tonneau cover which looks in new condition. It sits on Mini light alloy wheels with matching fulda tyres all around that have many more miles left in them. Inside The black vinyl seats are in pretty good order as are the carpets and mats, and generally the interior presents pretty well. There is an original push button stereo coupled to some modern Sony speakers. As with all MGB's the cabin feels comfortable with everything falling to hand. Mechanicals The 1798cc engine fires into life with ease and runs very well breathing through twin SU carbs and although the looks of the twin exhaust tailpipes maybe offensive to some, the sound the sports exhaust system makes is wonderful. It drives well through all 4 gears and stops as its should. The car has an overdrive fitted which we haven't checked is operational. A quick service and this MGB will be ready to hit the road again this Spring. History Unfortunately we have no real history with the car other than the V5C and a few owners handbooks, the vendors trustee has mentioned that the car has had some works to the engine to increase performance, but unfortunately we cannot verify this. Our Opinion We totally get why MGB's are so popular and this one would be a great buy for someone looking to get their hands dirty whilst carrying out some minor works without having to take on a full on restoration. It could quite happily be used as is while being cosmetically improved along the way, and the sound from that unruly looking exhaust is to die for.
1961 Rover P4 100 2625cc 4 door saloon Offered with the original red leather interior and toolkit Registration: BJT 154A Chassis: 650101816 Odometer: 69000 Transmission: Manual MOT: Exempt No Reserve Outside The Rover is finished in the striking colour scheme of smoke grey over marine grey which suits the car very well. The bodywork appears to be free of rust in all the usual areas of the bottom of the doors, wings and sills. The paintwork is in fair overall order though there is a small dent and scratch on the off side rear wing and a few stone chips to the bonnet area. The chrome is reasonable though there is some pitting and the rear bumper is very dull and would benefit from chrome paint which is an economical alternative. The wheels are in good order with the trims and hub caps without damage. The tyres are matching Federal classic radials and have plenty of tread. Inside The interior of the Rover is a very nice place to sit with delightful patinated brown leather interior that is without any rips or tears. It is worth noting that one of the seams on the rear seat needs stitching. The woodwork is dull and could be polished if required. The wood area to the driver’s door window has a small crack. The door cards are in fair order though the lower carpet panel on the drivers door shows some wear . The carpets are reasonable though the drivers footwell has signs of damage. The headlining is very good and pleasingly the dashboard light is operational. The correct tool kit sits under the dashboard and still contains the two correct grey touch up paints. The dashboard and instruments are all in good order. Mechanicals The Rover fires into life and the six-cylinder engine is silky smooth and sounds very good indeed with no undue noises or rattles. Driving around our yard the P4 ran well, stopping in a straight line with sharp brakes, supple suspension and smooth gear changes. History There is very little paperwork with the car apart from a V5c, old MOT certificate and an invoice from 2016 detailing the recommissioning work to the value of £2469.89. Our Opinion These cars are hugely undervalued and are an inexpensive route to the fabulous world of classic luxury motoring. The Rover is in delightful patinated condition which means it can be used without fear of damage. These cars are easy to maintain, spares readily available and supported by the excellent Rover Sports register car club.
1993 Rover Mini Mayfair 1275cc automatic 2 door saloon Only 2 former keepers and recent works completed to the value of circa £3000 Registration: L862 KVO Chassis: SAXXNWADKBD073612 Odometer: 55,000 Transmission: Automatic MOT: This will have a fresh MOT upon collection No Reserve .Offered in original factory specification . One ownership for 22 years and 10 years in storage 2006 to . Correct Rover audio equipment . Recent new head gasket, tyres, brakes, exhaust, water pump along with a comprehensive service . Supplied with a selection of invoices, jack, wheel brace and spare wheel Outside Finished in the original colour of red with standard wheels and exterior trim. The paintwork appears to be largely original though the bonnet is a slightly darker shade of red than the rest of the car. There is some light surface rust to both front wings around the seams and it has been touched in at some point. There are some light blisters on both doors and the rear offside quarter panel just above the sill line. The chrome work is without any issues and the overall appearance is one of an very original car. Inside Standard factory cloth interior with correct Mayfair wooden dashboard that has no cracks or blemishes. The seats, carpets and headlining are without any damage and show very little signs of wear. There is however a very small mark on the driver’s door panel around the door handle area. Mechanicals The Mini starts readily on the key and the engine runs very sweetly. There is however a small blow on the manifold which will need correcting. On the road it performs well with the automatic gearbox changing up and down without issue. The brakes are very effective and there and no rattles or squeaks from the suspension units. History The history file comprises of various invoices and receipts whilst in the current ownership since 2019. The bills on file amount to circa £3000 which cover works to the subframe, exhaust, tyres, engine and steering, the last works carried out in August 2022. Our Opinion A rare opportunity to acquire a low mileage Mini that remains largely as it left the factory. After the period of storage, it has been recommissioned and all the important works attended to. There is a real charm to any classic mini and this being one of the last models that was not fuel injected adds to the appeal. A great car for the classic shows or just to use and enjoy.

2008 Jean Noel Gagnard, Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru La Boudriotte4x75cl2013 Domaine Henri Boillot, Meursault Premier Cru, Genevrieres1x75cl2014 Michel Magnien, Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru, Monts Luisants Rouge1x75clTotal 6x75clWhen looking at the photos of the Chassagne Boudriotte, Gagnard - the bottle with the much lighter looking wine has clearly been bottled in a different shade of glass that the Domaine normally use. This must have been a mistake at the bottling factory and avoided detection when bottled at the Domaine. All wines will be in the same condition and come from the same case. It is wonderful to be able to see the wine's colour in light glass, so we are confident in the quality of the other three bottles .
