According to information kindly supplied by the vendor, `GAL 270D' began life as an 11-window `Splittie' equipped with a Dormobile roof and Westfalia camper interior. Resident in Bath prior to entering the current ownership during 2010, the Volkswagen was thoroughly restored and upgraded over the next three years. Stripped to bare metal and repaired as necessary the body received four coats of paint prior to lacquering, while the underside was both painted and waxoyled. Refurbished brightwork from stem to stern complimented the Safari windows up front and six pop-out windows to the sides. Fitting an early Bay Window ball-joint front axle assembly not only allowed the ride height to be dropped by circa two inches (without compromising the suspension or steering geometry) but also permitted the installation of front disc brakes. Sourced from Creative Engineering, a rack and pinion conversion resulted in a far more positive helm. The adoption of a Bay Window brake servo and independent rear suspension components plus Koni adjustable shock absorbers all round gave more modern driving dynamics. An important consideration given the extra performance available from the uprated Type 4 2-litre engine (stainless steel exhaust, twin Weber carburettors, Empi heads with 40mm inlet valves etc) and slicker-changing VW Beetle 1303S four-speed manual gearbox. Extensively rewired and converted to 12-volt electrics, the Camper also gained more effective windscreen wipers and washer jets plus a 240-volt hook-up, leisure battery, Radio/CD/Sat-Nav (with facility for iPhone connectivity) and reversing camera etc. The `walk through' interior features a stainless steel hob / sink, fridge, Propex thermostatically controlled heating system, light oak rounded cupboards, rear seat belts and rock `n' roll beds. Riding on five-spoke alloys and showing an unwarranted 73,000 miles to its odometer, the rejuvenated `Splittie' has been used by the vendor for trips with friends to the Goodwood Revival and Cholmondeley Pageant of Power etc. Far more capable / comfortable on long journeys than in its original guise, `GAL 270D' is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale at a fraction of its build cost, this re-booted Camper is accompanied by numerous restoration photos / invoices and a MOT certificate valid until April 2016.

Recipe: take a good 3-litre Bentley chassis, mix in a good 4.5-litre engine, gearbox and transmission and add a light body with accessories to taste. The result is a motor car which, while still retaining a good vintage flavour, possesses a performance equaled by few other machines even of the most modern and expensive type' (Captain J.G. Fry, The Autocar May 14th 1943). A late Bentley 3 Litre, chassis HT1649 was initially fitted with Vanden Plas saloon coachwork and supplied new to J. Henderson Esq. Road registered as `WW 6726' by West Yorkshire County Council on 15th June 1928, an accompanying continuation buff logbook shows that it survived World War Two and was resident in Essex some twenty-six years later. Belonging to Ronald Frederick Fotheringham at the time, the Bentley is known to have passed through the hands of Kenneth Aubrey Cleave, Peter James Warren, Jack Ernest Durler, John William Bache Esq., Fred Zimmer and Ed Hubbard before entering the current ownership via Neil Davies Historic Racing in 1999. Converted into a Tourer during 1963 and reconfigured to 3/4.5 Litre specification using its original `matching numbers' engine crankcase during the 1990s, `WW 6726' was nonetheless treated to an extensive `chassis up' restoration by the vendor. A long term Bentley Drivers' Club member, he sought to create a car that was - in his own terms - as usable and enjoyable as possible. Resembling one of the nine short wheelbase (9ft 9.5in) cars that W.O. Bentley created before adopting the longer wheelbase (10ft 10in) for series 4.5 Litre production, chassis HT1649 also sports a 4.5 Litre-type radiator for improved cooling and 4.5 Litre steering box for easier manoeuvring. A veteran of numerous rallies and tours around the world, `WW 6726' has been developed with performance and reliability in mind. As such, it sports a full-flow oil filter, coil ignition, overdrive, electric fuel pumps and more modern SU HD8 carburettors. Though, the Autovac has been left in situ on the bulkhead should a new owner wish to reinstate it. Pleasingly retaining its original crankcase and magneto tower stampings, the uprated 4.5 Litre engine has not long been treated to a `Blower'-type block sourced from LMB Racing. The four-speed `C-type' manual gearbox is allied to a modern clutch, while the four-wheel drum brakes have been converted to hydraulic operation. Finished in Black with Dark Green leather upholstery, the four-seater rides on 20-inch wire wheels and utilises a 3.53:1 rear axle ratio. The chassis number HT1649 is visible on a lozenge inside the nearside front dumb iron and on the front engine cross member. With its quick-release radiator filler cap, Le Mans-style fuel tank, fold flat windscreen (complete with aero screens), nearside-mounted spare wheel and cycle mudguards, the Bentley does not want for visual drama. An old FIVA Identity Card which accompanies the 3/4.5 Litre states the following: 'The chassis, gearbox and suspension are as original. The wheels have been reduced one inch in diameter to 20 inches and the brakes have been converted to hydraulic operation. The engine retains its original numbered crankcase but has been enlarged to 4398cc. Coil ignition replaces the original magnetos and electric pumps replace the autovac. The radiator is from a 4.5 Litre Bentley of the same period'. Among the most handsome and best sorted Bentley 3/4.5 Litres that we have had the pleasure of offering, `WW 6726' is accompanied by a continuation buff logbook, V5C Registration Document, expired FIA Historic Vehicle Identity Form, old FIA Identity Card and numerous invoices from the likes of Jack Barclay, NDR, VBE Restorations, D.H. Day, John Ambler & Son, William Medcalf and FS Racing etc.

H&H are indebted to Ferrari historian and author Keith Bluemel, who has recently inspected chassis 10177 at first hand, for the following report: 'The 275 GTB4 berlinetta was the replacement for the 275 GTB, the main difference being the fitment of a four overhead camshaft, two per bank, V12 engine. It was first shown at the 1966 Paris Salon, and remained in production until March 1968, during which time 330 examples were manufactured in the chassis number range 09007 to 11069, 27 of which were UK imported right hand drive versions. The 275 GTB4 was virtually identical visually to the "long nose" two camshaft models, and without lifting the bonnet, there was only one easy distinguishing feature. This was the profile of the bonnet, which on the 275 GTB4 had a slim shallow central bulge running from front to rear. As with the two camshaft cars, the Pininfarina designed body was constructed by Scaglietti in Modena, normally in steel with aluminium doors, bonnet, and boot lid, although a few examples received full aluminium bodies. The bodies were mounted on a 2400mm wheelbase chassis that had factory reference numbers 596, and all were numbered in the odd chassis number road car sequence. The chassis was virtually identical to that of the two camshaft car, the revised number being due to minor differences in the drive train layout. Like its predecessor, the four camshaft model was available in right or left hand drive form. The standard wheels were alloy with a ten hole design, similar to those used on the Ferrari sports racing cars of the period, with the option of Borrani wire wheels throughout the production period. The basic dimensions and layout of the engine were similar to that of the two camshaft unit of the preceding 275 GTB, but fitted with new cylinder heads that featured twin overhead camshafts per bank of cylinders, with factory type reference 226, still of 3286cc capacity, with a bore and stroke of 77mm x 58.8mm, with the sparking plugs sited between the camshafts. The other major difference was the provision of dry sump lubrication. It was fitted with a bank of six Weber 40 DCN9, 17, or 18 carburettors, with a twin coil and rear of engine mounted distributor ignition system, to produce a claimed 300bhp. The engine drove through a shaft in a torque tube, as fitted to late series two camshaft models, running at engine speed to a five speed transaxle, which was independently supported from the chassis frame, and then by drive shafts to the independently suspended rear wheels, that featured the same coil spring and wishbone suspension arrangement as used on the two camshaft 275 GTB model. Chassis # 10177 is a right hand drive example, which was ordered new by Maranello Concessionaires Ltd from the factory on their order # 296 in February 1967, with a specification of silver paintwork, code 106.E.1 Salchi, a blue leather and cloth interior, leather code VM 3015, light blue carpets, a radio console and the optional Borrani wire wheels. It was delivered to them in July 1967, and road registered by them on UK licence plate SMD 2F, to became their demonstrator model. The factory invoice for the car states only blue leather for the interior, so it is assumed that the cloth seat centres were substituted for full leather. In December 1967 the car was sold to T.C. Harrison Ltd, a Ford main dealer in Sheffield, for the company owner Mr Cuth Harrison, when it was re-registered on his personal UK licence plate TCH 1. In June 1969 the car was returned to Maranello Concessionaires for sale by them. Mr Harrison retained his personal licence plate, and it was re-registered on UK licence plate VWJ 770F, then sold through Rob Walker (Corsley Garage) Ltd, Warminster, Wiltshire, in August 1969, to a Mr J.E. Renton, of Greywell, near Basingstoke, Hampshire. The registration number was probably the same as re-registered by Maranello Concessionaires in June 1969, i.e. VWJ 770F. There is a letter in the Maranello Concessionaires Archive file indicating that he still owned the car in January 1970. The next owner is understood to have been a Mr W. Locksley-Cook in Westerham, Kent, when it was registered on UK licence plate BC 777, who had purchased it from the Sunningdale Carriage Company, of Sunningdale, Berkshire. In 1971 the car was once again for sale at Maranello Concessionaires, now on UK licence plate TVB 758F, so Mr Locksley-Cook had clearly retained his personal plate. In July 1971 it was purchased by Mr Robert Horne of Horne Brothers Ltd, the tailors (By Appointment to H.M. Queen Elizabeth II Livery Tailors). He kept the car for a little over a year, and then it was sold through Rose & Young Ltd, of Caterham, Surrey, around September 1972 to a Mr W. R. Curtis of Great Abington, Cambridgeshire, when it was registered on UK licence plate 69 EVE. In his ownership during 1974, the engine was fully rebuilt at 36,215 miles, by Graypaul Motors Ltd, of Loughborough, Leicestershire, and later in the year they also replaced the suspension wishbones, bushes and ball joints. The car was purchased by Richard Colton from Mr Curtis through Maloney & Rhodes Ltd, of Cambridge in November 1974, and was owned by him for over 40 years, up to the time of his passing in March 2015. At the time that he purchased the car it was painted red, although it is not known when the colour change took place, however it retained its original blue interior. Initially in his ownership it was still on the UK registration number 69 EVE, but at some stage early in his ownership (definitely by 1979), he had the car re-registered on UK licence plate RCO 777. At this time the car had a nudge bar fitted to the nose, although this was subsequently removed, and the quarter bumpers retain plugged fixing holes where this was attached. In September 1979 he entrusted the car to G.T.C. Engineering of Rushden, Northamptonshire, for a full bare metal re-spray in Mercedes-Benz Astral Silver, code DB375, which was completed in the November of that year. The car was returned to them in the middle of 1986 for further paintwork to be carried out on the bonnet and boot lids, and one front wing. The invoice for this work also has a note about welding up the radiator support bracket, and there is clear evidence of this on the car today. It is almost certain that this was the last time any work was carried out on the paintwork, as close inspection reveals numerous areas of micro-blistering, and there is deeper bubbling on the top edge of the right front wheel arch, together with on the top of the same wing close to the bonnet. The paintwork also has some chips and cracks in various locations on the body. The black paint under the nose and tail of the car does not have the correct perimeter profile or finish. It is currently finished with black underseal, whilst the correct finish is satin black. There is some flaking to the paint on the inside of the bonnet. Click here for the full description.
Lotus first applied the Elan name to its small Ron Hickman-designed two-seat Roadster of 1962. It comprised a steel backbone chassis clothed in a lightweight fiberglass body. Power came from a 1,558cc Cosworth twin-cam version of Ford's ubiquitous 'Kent' engine. With independent suspension all round and four wheel disc brakes, the Elan was both light and nimble. It was, however, lacking in space and in June 1967 Lotus introduced another Hickman masterpiece - the Elan +2 Coupe for those that needed more accommodation. Based on a suitably lengthened/widened version of its smaller sibling's chassis, the newcomer enjoyed better aerodynamics and superior grip (thanks to a 0.30 drag co-efficient and six-inch wider track/fatter tyres). And, as the name suggests, it offered two extra seats - in the company's own words, 'The +2 is designed to carry two adults and two children on a long holiday in comfort'. The +2S version was introduced in 1969 and brought such cosmetic improvements as remote boot release and flush fitting interior door handles, plus an improved exhaust system. The very tidy-looking +2S offered is finished in Silver and trimmed in Black. It was evidently the subject of a restoration some 15 years ago, at which point the original backbone chassis was replaced with a new galvanised one, the twin-cam engine overhauled, and the Lotus completely repainted. Six years later the water pump, timing chain and dampers were all replaced and uprated driveshafts installed. The vendor informs us that the Elan nowadays 'drives very well and has been in regular use'. He presently views the bodywork, interior trim, engine and four-speed manual transmission as being in 'good' condition and the paintwork as 'fair'. The Lotus comes complete with sunroof and an extensive history file that includes the purchase and other invoices dating back to 1971, MOTs back to 1975 and photos of the restoration.
- The subject of a five-page article in Mercedes Enthusiast magazine (June 2013 issue) - Treated to an engine overhaul, bare metal respray and re-trim in leather between 2002 and 2008 - Recent £6,000 expenditure on brakes, suspension, engine / gearbox mounts, re-chromed bumpers, fresh tyres and servicing etc. - 1 of 14,173 220SEb Coupes made. Fuel-injected 2195cc straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. Via the W111 'fintail' series of 1959, Mercedes continued its practice of offering special two-door Coupe or Roadster versions of its Saloon cars, and the 220SEB took this supreme elegance to a whole new level. Based on the flagship S-class W111 'fintail' Saloon, with its signature upright headlights and imposing traditional Mercedes-Benz grille, the Coupe comprised a light and airy pillarless glasshouse over a distinctive two-door body. The 220 Coupe was very well appointed inside, featuring Mercedes textured leather and wood trimmings. The model's 2195cc, SOHC engine employed mechanical fuel injection of the same type as the 'Pagoda' SLs - its 120bhp being sufficient to propel the car at up to 106mph. The suspension comprised wishbones and coil springs at the front and low-pivot swing-axles with radius arms and coil springs at the rear. The resulting ride was very statesmanlike. A total of some 14,173 220SEB Coupes were built between 1961 and 1965 when the run was terminated. 'AAP 122B' vacated the Stuttgart production line in 1964. Its Red two-door Coupe bodywork is complemented by Cream leather interior trim, ivory-coloured steering wheel and wool carpets, and a wood facia. In 2002 it was treated to a comprehensive engine overhaul by Top Marques; in 2005 it benefited from a full bare metal respray, and in 2008 the interior was completely refurbished. Having been garaged ever since, it is still classed by the vendor as having 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, interior, straight-six engine and manual four-speed gearbox. Nevertheless the underside has just received a repaint and protection against the elements, as well as a service and fresh MOT. Furthermore, £6,000 has been invested in the brakes, suspension, engine and gearbox mounts, rechroming, new tyres etc. The 220 is now offered complete with a selection of invoices, old MOTS and a copy of the Mercedes Enthusiast magazine in which 'AAP 122B' starred in 2013.
By switching to Bosch fuel injection in March 1981 Ferrari robbed its successful 308 GTB / GTS models of some forty horsepower. Worried about the consequent loss of performance, Maranello executive Eugenio Alzati determined to give the 90-degree 'quad-cam' 2926cc V8 its teeth back. Announced in October 1982, the new QV or 'quattrovalve' model was a revelation. Sporting - as its name suggests - four-valve cylinder heads, it was credited with developing some 240bhp and 192lbft of torque. Emissions friendly, it nevertheless boasted less noise, more power and better throttle response than its predecessor. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.7 seconds and 158mph, the QV cars once again had the raw speed to match their sublime Pininfarina sculpted looks. A Belgian market car that has nonetheless spent most of its life in America, chassis 46057 was acquired by the vendor two years ago for use at his Florida holiday home. Having proved entirely dependable, he decided to treat the Ferrari to a thorough cosmetic refurbishment. Entrusted to renowned Dino restorer Stallion Motors of Nottingham upon its importation to the UK, the 308 GTS QV was carefully stripped with all interior trim and glass removed. Found to be free of any structural corrosion, chassis 46057 was repainted in its original Rosso Corsa 300 livery complete with correct Satin Black detailing. Warranted to have covered just 77,000km from new (c.48,000miles), the two-seater is rated by the vendor as `excellent' (engine, 5-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment) or `concours' (bodywork, paintwork, re-trimmed Tan leather upholstery). Said to drive very well with no known faults, this exceptional 308 GTS QV is accompanied by its original tool roll, emergency light, space-saver spare wheel and handbooks plus a thick file full of receipts / invoices.
Launched at the 1955 Frankfurt motorshow, the MG A featured a chassis penned by Roy Brocklehurst and power courtesy of the 1,489cc straight-four B Series engine from the MG Magnette Saloon. 'YSU 840' started life as a US export model and was first registered in the UK in 1990. A lefthand drive example to this day, it is presented with White bodywork complemented by Black interior trim, rides on wire wheels and boasts a luggage rack and leather-rimmed steering wheel. In recent times it has benefited from the installation of a Revotec electric fan, stainless steel exhaust, and H4 halogen headlamp conversion. Its current engineer keeper treated the MG to a mechanical overhaul, during which the brakes and suspension were attended to, and new tyres, water hoses, and rear light lenses fitted. The MG comes complete with V5C, fresh MOT although exempt and numerous invoices; many of which are from marque specialists such as Brown & Gammons and MGOC spares.
Synonymous with the swinging '60s, the MKII is one of the most widely admired of all Jaguar Saloons and as cherished by the bank robbers of its time as the police who pursued them. It was at its most formidable when equipped with the 220bhp 3.8-litre engine. The MkII 3.8 saloon on offer left the Browns Lane Coventry works in 1963 and is finished in light metallic maroon. Believed to have had just four private keepers from new the last of whom took possession in 2004 'LEA 175' is thought to have covered just 1,700 dry miles whilst in his care. We understand that the 60,725 miles displayed when entered for is likely to the genuine total mileage since new. The vendor informs us it is a lovely original-spec motor car with factory-fit power-steering, clean bodywork and paintwork, super original beige leather interior, and with both 3.8-litre 6-cylinder engine and 3-speed automatic transmission reportedly in 'good' working order. Offered with a collection of old MOT'S, tax discs and invoices including one dating from 1969 from Henley's of London this clearly loved example and is offered with a current MOT certificate into September 2016.
The Bentley S1 Standard Steel Saloon replaced the R-Type standard steel saloon in 1955. Improved from its predecessor by not just offering seating for five adults, but also a more comfortable arrangement thanks to three extra inches in the wheelbase, enlarged headroom and even bigger boot space. The ride was improved by softer suspension and improved braking which helped to counter the increase in power and engine capacity, which now, with 4887cc was propelled through a four-speed automatic gearbox. Finished in Dark Blue with light Blue leather interior 'UXF 805' has been subject to recent improvement having been re-painted, all the wood being re-veneered and the interior trim being re-connolised and repaired where necessary. The Engine bay has also been cleaned and re-painted, the Carburettor overhauled with a replacement gearbox fitted all of which has been over seen by J.K Engineering Ltd of Biggleswade over 2013/2014. Offered with history file comprising of the original handbooks, 20 old mot certificates dating back to 1963, collection of old invoices and original tool kit this handsome Bentley has just returned from a 200 mile round trip to the Goodwood Revival and is ready to be enjoyed by its new keeper.
Introduced in 1929 as a successor to the outgoing 20, the Rolls-Royce 20/25 was primarily aimed at owner drivers. Nearly 4,000 chassis were produced, making it the company's best-selling model between the wars. The example offered here is in running order and described by the vendor as having the 'potential for a rolling restoration' - he currently classes the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as 'fair'. According to Tom C. Clarke's book on the model, chassis GED26 was fitted with engine No.F6N and taken off test on June 6, 1934. It was then despatched to coachbuilder William Arnold - the first owner of the resulting four-light Saloon was a Mr H Carden. 'AVR 691' is now presented for sale in Blue over Black, trimmed in Blue leather and rides on colour-keyed wire wheels shod with white-walled tyres. The Rolls comes complete with a copy of the factory build sheet and a history file containing various invoices etc.
- Beautiful example built to exemplary standards by John May - Competed in the 'Daily Express' Production Jaguar race at the Silverstone Classic in July 2009 - 3.8 litre engine with semi race camshafts & 3x HD8 SU carburettors, E-Type (4.2) all synchro gearbox In addition to maintaining the factory XK 120's for many years and providing the basis for the Nigel Dawes series, John May has been creating his own interpretations of the ideal XK Jaguar for several decades. Today, he is no longer accepting new work. It is not simply that his cars are built to exemplary standards and incorporate the fruits of his vast experience of the marque, it is his uncompromising determination to get the detail of the job absolutely right which makes his output special. 679351 left Brown's Lane in 1952, bound for the US. By the late 1990's it had found its way back to Tewkesbury and underwent a painstaking bare chassis restoration. The detailed specification was formulated with occasional competition in mind, but principally, to serve as a long range tourer. It was finished in 2000. In the early years following the completion of its build, the car took part in the road going class of a few XK races, only failing to finish once (when the driver broke the gearstick and got fed up driving around in second gear). It was always driven to and, importantly, back from the circuits at which it competed, never suffering an impact. Its only 'competitive' outing in the past 10 years came as the result of an invitation to take part in the 'Daily Express' Production Jaguar race at the Silverstone Classic in July 2009, a one off race staged to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the XK's first competition victory at Silverstone in 1949. A commemorative plaque from this event is fitted to the dashboard. Although it has had limited use, the car has been maintained by John. Finished in Jaguar Gunmetal Grey with red leather and Turrino 5 ¢ x 15" colour coded wheels with polished alloy rims laced in E-Type offset pattern, the car's enviable specification includes fixed quarter lights and rear windows, minimalist custom indicators, halogen headlights, rack & pinion steering, modified suspension geometry, adjustable telescopic dampers all round, uprated springs and torsion bars, Salisbury 4HA axle with Powr lock differential and 3.05:1 'touring' ratio, disc brakes all round with Alcon 4 pot front callipers, custom made rear anti roll bar, Dave Butcher E- type 3.8-litre engine with semi race camshafts and 3x HD8 SU carburettors, E- type (4.2) all synchro gearbox, XK 140 radiator electric fan with viscous coupling, alternator, sports exhaust with removable rear baffles, side mounted aluminium water header & oil catch tanks, bucket seats - position adjustable, 4 point harnesses, full leather trimmed roll cage, competition pedal box, leather trimmed dash, doors and rear parcel shelf and battery box, full instrumentation including map light and period aviation chronometer, period Motorola radio (display only), 2 speed wipers and electric screen wash, wood rim steering wheel, plumbed in fire extinguisher (unused), ignition cut out, burst proof aftermarket locks and leather edged carpets. This stunning XK, ready to be enjoyed and worthy of close inspection, is offered with Swansea V5C, detailed specification sheet, Jaguar Cars vehicle information sheet, invoices from XK Developments and assorted old MoTs.
Interest in 'microcars' has been on the rise for some time, of which many view the tandem seat Messerschmitt's as the cream of the crop. This delightful KR200 Cabriolet hails from 1961 and has been self-evidently restored and repainted. Offered with a collection of old MoT certificates and current V5C the vendor now views the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission as all being in 'Very good' order. The Messerschmitt's streamlined aircraft-style body is finished in eye-catching Blue and trimmed in Black vinyl and is powered by the standard specification 191cc Fichtel & Sachs single-cylinder two-stroke engine which, thanks to the KR200's light weight and effective aerodynamics, is sufficient to propel the little two-seater to c.60mph - a speed it can attain backwards as well as forwards, as the reversible ignition allows the four-speed transmission to operate in both directions!. This lovely KR200 would grace any microcar collection and represents a unique opportunity for bubble car aficionados everywhere.
This attractive-looking example of Britain's favourite sports car has Mid Blue bodywork complemented by a Light Tan interior. It's a four owner example that was removed from the road in 2002 and restored over the ensuing seven years, since when it's travelled less than 4,000 miles. The history file contains invoices totalling in excess of £15,000 and the work carried out included a conversion from rubber to chrome bumpers, during which the ride height was lowered to that of the earlier cars. 'KKR 336P' benefits from a handling kit and Spax dampers all-round. Its impressive specification further includes: oil cooler and braided pipes; overdrive; silver coloured wire wheels; wood rim steering wheel; Pioneer radio/CD player; stainless steel door treads; locking fuel cap; and car cover. The vendor classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, four-cylinder engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'good' order and says the venerable MG 'drives exceptionally well'.
