1962 Hotchkiss M201 Jeep- Built in France under licence in 1962- Believed low mileage example in "good condition"- 24 volt, new carburettor, original shovel, axe and hoodKnown in France as 'La Jeep', the Hotchkiss M201 was the standard light transport used by the French army from the end of WW2 up until the 1980s. Initially built under licence as MBs, they were known as M201s from 1956 and remained virtually unchanged throughout production - a fitting testament to the efficiency of the original design.This LHD example was a licence built jeep produced in 1962 which was UK registered in 1998. Said to be in good running order, the vendor surmises from the condition of the chassis and transmission that it has covered relatively few miles in its lifetime. Fitted with 24 volt electrics, a new carburettor has been fitted although the original unit is included. Powered by a 2.2-litre petrol engine, it is accompanied by an original shovel, axe and hood. Said to have "excellent" bodywork, engine and electrics with "very good" paintwork, gearbox and interior, several old MoT certificates are included in the history file and the owner informs us it will have a new MoT in time for the sale.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1946 Rover 12hp Sports Saloon- Entered from a private Irish collection- Older restoration in good overall condition- Elegant four-light, sports saloon coachworkUnveiled in 1937, the Rover P2 range comprised 10, 12, 14, 16 and 20hp models. Benefiting from a stiffer chassis and rod-operated drum brakes, the newcomers were widely praised by the contemporary press for their quality, looks and performance. Powered by a 1496cc OHV four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the 12hp variant was credited with a nigh on 70mph top speed. Available in either 6-light Saloon or 4-Light Sports Saloon guises, a Tourer variant was added when production recommenced after WW2. Some 11,786 P2 12hp cars were made up until September 1939 and another 4,840 between 1946 and 1948.First registered in West Ham (or so its 'BJD 117' number plate would imply), little is otherwise known about the early history of this handsome 4-Light Sports Saloon. Belonging to David Whitehouse of Malton, North Yorkshire by August 1985, the Rover was sold to Michael Cayley Esq. of Sale, Cheshire some five years later. Mr Cayley is presumed to have carried out various restoration works before selling the 12hp to Clive Richardson Esq. of Welshpool in September 2008. As well as fitting a stainless steel exhaust, Mr Richardson paid attention to the car's steering box, brakes, shock absorbers and headlamps reflectors etc sourcing various parts from Meteor Spares Service Ltd of Nottinghamshire in the process. The Sports Saloon's last keeper prior to entering the current ownership was Jodie Green Esq. of Ely, Cambs. The most recent MOT certificate on file was issued during December 2010 since when the Rover appears to have covered some 700 miles. Presenting as an older restoration, the 12hp appears to pleasingly retain its original Brown leather upholstery and carries a supplier's plaque for Grose Ltd of Northampton to its dashboard. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and assorted invoices.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1958 Jensen 541 Deluxe- Bare shell restoration 2013/2014 including retrim with Maserati-sourced leather, wooden dash etc.- JOC 'Best in Class' cup holder 2015/2016, Rosso Red with Mustard leather- Laycock overdrive, disc brakes, triple SUs, one of just 53 examples builtLike its contemporary Interceptor, Jensen's 541 flowed from the pen of Eric Neale, and first saw the light of day at the 1953 London Motor Show, with production commencing the following year. It had many points of interest. For example it was the first Jensen to feature a predominantly glass reinforced plastic body, the entire front section of which hinged upwards in order to give optimum access to the engine compartment. The material was chosen to overcome the relative post-war shortage of steel, and provide an economical solution to the problem of manufacturing a complex design in small numbers. There was also the benefit of a reduction in weight and, with the contribution of alloy-skinned doors and Perspex rear windows, the newcomer's overall dry weight was 2,690 lb versus the Interceptor's 3,020. Interestingly, not only was the body impressively light, but aerodynamic too - the drag coefficient of 0.39 being notably low for a large car of the period concerned. So to another first - in Deluxe specification, the 541 was also the first British four-seater car to be equipped with Dunlop disc brakes all round.The innovative body was mounted on a rigid steel chassis and the ensemble powered by a triple carburettor version of Austin's proven DS5 engine, complete with Weslake high compression cylinder head. The resulting output of 135bhp was sufficient to propel Motor magazine's test car to 60mph in 10.8 seconds and on to a mean top speed of 115.8mph. The unit drove through a four-speed manual transmission for which there was the option of Laycock de Normanville overdrive. Suspension was independent at the front by wishbones and coil springs, while the live rear axle was supported by leaf springs and further located by a Panhard rod. A total of 226 541s are known to have been built between 1954 and 1959, 53 of which were the Deluxe version that featured all the otherwise optional extras as standard. The original 541 was supplanted by the 541R and then 541S, bringing total series production to c.546, of which the Jensen Owners' Club believes less than 150 remain in existence.The appropriately registered 'TSV 541' now offered for sale is a 541 Deluxe that came off the line in November 1958. We should set the scene by pointing out that it won the Jensen Owners' Club's Best in Class Cup in 2015/2016, so is certainly no run-of-the-mill example. It was acquired by the vendor in 2012 having been dry stored for around 20 years. At this point it was stripped to a bare shell and every component, large or small, either replaced or refurbished as required. The exterior finish of vibrant Rosso Red was left unmolested, as it remained in fine order from an earlier repaint. The car was, however, treated to a new Maserati-sourced Mustard Yellow leather interior that's complemented by a bespoke light-coloured wood facia. This delightful Jensen seemingly wants for nothing, as its comprehensive specification includes: overdrive gearbox, twin stainless steel exhausts, chrome wire wheels, auxiliary front lights, period sports wing mirrors, and a period push-button radio fed by a roof-mounted aerial. The vendor currently classes the interior trim and transmission as 'excellent', the bodywork and paintwork as 'very good to excellent', and the straight-six engine as 'very good'. 'TSV 541' has so far travelled just 3,295 miles since the restoration was completed in 2014, and this lovely example of one of the British industry's rarer classic GT cars is now being offered complete with an MOT valid into October 2018, together with certificates covering the full period of the Jensen's current ownership.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1979 Porsche 928- Light Blue metallic with Pasha trim- Replacement AlliSport radiator, new injectors- Fuel system and brakes overhauledIntroduced at the 1977 Geneva Motor Show, the 928 was conceived (and priced) as the flagship of the Porsche range. A luxurious GT, it was styled in-house by American Tony Lapine as a replacement for the ageing 911. Ultimately, the newcomer failed to usurp its sibling despite becoming the only sports car ever to win the European Car of the Year title (1978). Built around a galvanised steel monocoque, the 2+2 made extensive use of aluminium for its wheels, doors, bonnet, transaxle housing, front suspension wishbones, rear suspension uprights, upper links and main cross member. Available with a choice of manual or automatic transmission the 928 was regarded as a crushingly capable Grand Tourer.This manual transmission 928 has been fitted with a replacement AlliSport radiator and new injectors whilst both the fuel system and brakes have benefited from being overhauled. The vendor informs us it has covered a genuine c.68,000 miles and that it "runs well".

1960 Austin-Healey 3000 MKI- Current ownership since 1973 and treated to an engine overhaul and general restoration between 1989 and 1992- Equipped with competition clutch, straight-cut gearbox with competition overdrive, limited slip differential, alloy sump and guard and Works hard top- Competed in the 1997 Monte Carlo and 1999 Rally des Alpes classic rally eventsThis purposeful-looking Big Healey has been in its current ownership since 1973 and was treated to an engine overhaul and general restoration between 1989 and 1992. In more recent years it has served as a classic rally car, and to that end is equipped with: road rally camshaft, six-branch exhaust manifold, competition clutch, straight-cut gearbox with competition overdrive, limited slip differential, alloy sump and guard, Works hard top, roll hoop and Cibi£ auxiliary lights, and in this form competed on the 1997 Monte Carlo and 1999 Rally des Alpes events. More recently, '1735 ME' has benefited from new wings and dampers on the rear.It is finished in the attractive combination of White hard top over Light Metallic Blue bodywork, teamed with dark Blue interior trim. The vendor currently considers the bodywork, interior trim, straight-six engine and transmission to be in 'very good' order, and the paintwork to be of a 'good' standard, and is selling the Healey complete with green log book, large collection of tax discs and old MOTs, plus one valid into August of next year. The following are available by separate negotiation: hood, tonneau cover and bumpers.The 'Big' Healey enjoyed steady development, with the early four-cylinder cars giving way to the 100-Six in 1956, and the first of the 3000s in 1959. By now engine capacity had risen to 2912cc and power output to 124bhp - sufficient to grace the standard car with a 0-60mph time of 11.4 seconds and a top speed of 114 mph. There was the option of Laycock de Normanville overdrive, and braking had been improved by the adoption of discs at the front. There were two body options - a two-seater (BN7) or occasional four-seater (BT7). By the time of the MKII in 1961, a total of 2,825 BN7s and 10,825 BT7s had been produced.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1953 Ford Zephyr 6- Entered from a private Irish collection- Rare, surviving first generation Zephyr 6- Tubular exhaust manifold, aftermarket rear blind and bench seats re-trimmed in leatherIntroduced in early 1951, Ford's Consul (four-cylinder) and Zephyr (six-cylinder) models were notable for their use of a monocoque bodyshell, MacPherson Strut independent front suspension and hydraulic drum brakes. Able to seat up to six thanks to the provision of a front bench seat and column gearchange, the Ford duo were powered by a new generation of 'oversquare' engines. Notably rugged and surprisingly quick, the 2262cc OHV-engined Zephyr Six proved a highly effective rally car with Maurice Gatsonides winning the 1953 Monte Carlo Rally aboard one (beating a Jaguar MKVII into second place) and Vic Preston piloting another to victory on the 1955 East African Safari Rally. Updated in September 1952, the Zephyr gained a revised dashboard with a separate instrument pod that mimicked the shape of its grille. For those Zephyr owners who wanted more performance Raymond Mays offered a range of tuning goodies from twin carburettors to freer-flowing exhausts. Suitably enhanced, the six-seater Ford could give contemporary sportscars a run for their money with a 95mph top speed!Finished in Blue with Light Grey leather upholstery, this particular example has formed part of a private Irish collection since 2006. The Ford's front and rear bench seats have been re-trimmed at some stage (leather was an optional extra in period) but its door cards look to be original. Under the bonnet the Zephyr's six-cylinder engine sports a tubular exhaust manifold but otherwise things appear pretty standard. The saloon's rear window carries an aftermarket sun blind. Wonderfully evocative of the 1950s and a comparatively rare survivor today, this appealing Ford looks to be in good overall condition and started readily during our photography session (October 2017).PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1968 Lotus Elan S3 Drophead Coupe- Light blue with black interior, replacement Spyder chassis- c.£6,000 spent on recommissioning in 2010 with Bateman's Performance Engineering- Recent hood, stored last four years, 44,981 miles recordedThe original Ron Hickman-penned Elan looks as fresh as when it burst onto the roads in 1962 and, thanks to its lightweight, stiff backbone chassis, fully independent wishbone suspension and potent twin-cam powerplant, will still show a clean pair of heels to many a far younger rival. The vendor informs us this light blue example has enjoyed just three previous owners since being first registered in February 1968. The second owner was a stepson of renowned Lotus racer Adam Currie. A replacement Spyder chassis was fitted in 1988 whilst some £6,000 was invested in recommissioning works in 2010 with specialists Bateman's Performance Engineering including new CV drive shafts, fuel tank, ignition, brakes etc. A recent hood has also been fitted and a tonneau cover is included. In storage for the past four years, PXE 468F would now benefit from attention to the cosmetics and in our opinion would make an ideal winter project.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1962 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Roadster- Repatriated from America in 1989 and believed to have covered just 2,200 miles since being extensively restored the following decade- Originally finished in Cream with Red upholstery and a Blue roof (the same livery it pleasingly sports today)- Sympathetically improved and recommissioned during the current five-year ownership (hi-torque starter motor, improved oil filtration, polybushed suspension, new in-tank fuel pump etc)- 'Matching' chassis and engine block numbersFamously launched at the 1961 Geneva Salon, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore. With its stunning looks, outrageous performance and accessible price tag, the newcomer left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. While, early competition success at the hands of Graham Hill and Roy Salvadori amongst others helped cement its reputation. Built as a monocoque with an engine cradling front sub-frame, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension, rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent roadholding / handling capabilities. Fed by triple SU HD8 carburettors and topped with a 'straight port' DOHC cylinder head, its 3781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and 260lbft. Allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox, the free-revving unit reputedly enabled the E-type to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 150mph. Seemingly borrowed from a light aircraft, the wonderful turned aluminium centre console that adorned its dashboard was complemented by scalloped 'Dunlopillo' seats and a wood-rim steering wheel. Achingly beautiful yet viciously quick, the E-type remains for many the ultimate production Jaguar.According to an accompanying letter from Jaguar Cars Ltd, this particular example - chassis 877233 - was built on 2nd May 1962 and originally finished in Cream with Red upholstery and a Blue hood. Despatched from Browns Lane to Jaguar Cars New York, it remained Stateside for twenty-seven years before being repatriated by J.G. Johnston Esq. Purchased from the latter by M. Butcher Esq., the E-type was treated to an extensive restoration including conversion from left- to right-hand drive between 1990 and 1995. Paperwork on file indicates that much of the work was carried out by Andrew Morgan and MG Engineering of Great Yarmouth. Although, the two-seater still required fettling when acquired by previous keeper Brian Marshall of Hitchin during January 1995 as assorted bills from the likes of XK Engineering Ltd, SC Parts Group and SNG Barratt testify. Sparingly used by Mr Marshall, 'VSU 331' is thought to have covered just under 2,000 miles in his hands. Dry stored for a couple of years prior to entering the current ownership during June 2012, the Jaguar has since been recommissioned. As well as new gaskets, its 3.8 litre straight-six engine gained a new hi-torque starter motor and improved oil filtration system. Pleasingly, the cylinder block appears to be the car's factory-fitted original, while its cylinder head looks to be a correct-type replacement (from another pre-1963 E-Type). A fresh in-tank fuel pump was fitted and the fuel system gone through. The suspension was polybushed and the brakes overhauled with the rear subframe being removed, checked over and repainted too. Starting readily upon inspection and presented in its original livery, this delightful E-Type has been exhibited at several local car shows and is expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

Bland of Debden Manor, Saffron Walden, Essex and fitted with Park Ward Four-Light Saloon coachwork - Previous maintenance by West Hoathly Garage, David Haines, Alpine Eagle and Ristes and MOT'd till October 2018 Launched in 1929, the Rolls-Royce 20/25 was powered by a 3669cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Usefully faster than its 20hp predecessor, the model remained in production until 1936 by which time some 3,827 had been sold. Capable of supporting a wide variety of coachwork, the 20/25hp's substantial ladder frame chassis was equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, four-wheel drum brakes and a mechanical servo. According to its accompanying copy RREC build records, this particular example - chassis GBT25 - was supplied new to Mrs D.K. Bland of Debden Manor, Saffron Walden, Essex on April 1st 1932. Allowed £125 for her 1925 Austin open car, she paid a further £1,450 for the Park Ward bodied Four-Light Saloon and kept it for fifteen years. Belonging to Bernard Patrick Cromie Esq (who had been awarded a Military Cross whilst serving with the Royal Field Artillery during WW1) and most likely others thereafter, the Rolls-Royce passed to its previous keeper, John Flannary Esq., on August 9th 1986. Entrusted to marque specialists West Hoathly Garage, David Haines & Sons Ltd and Alpine Eagle during Mr Flannary's tenure, the 20/25 was repainted in the 1990s as well as having attention paid to its Brown leather upholstery, clutch, carpets, brightwork and wheels etc. Rechristened `Lady Mary' upon joining the Old Hall collection during October 2005, there was a suggestion at the time from Alpine Eagle that `EV 5476' had had its `engine overhauled fairly recently' but no corresponding invoice. Treated to a front axle refurbishment and some steering and brake work by Ristes Motor Company Ltd in February 2007 at a cost of £8,513.75, the Rolls-Royce has predominantly been maintained in-house over the past decade. Starting readily during our recent photography session (October 2017) and appearing to be in `good overall' order, Lady Mary is offered for sale with history file and MOT certificate valid until October 2018.PLEASE NOTE: This lot started readily and ran well when we photographed it last month. However, the cap at the back of the magneto has gone missing and as such we have not had it running in the saleroom.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT
