Registration : BYT111 Chassis Number : Z11399 Engine Number : 9567 Estimate : £165,000 - £185,000 The Lagonda car company was founded in 1906 in Staines, Middlesex by the American Wilbur Gunn (1859-1920), who named it after a river near his home town of Springfield, Ohio. Gunn had started out building motorcycles in the garden of his house in Staines with some success including winning the 1905 London to Edinburgh Trial. In 1907, he launched his first car and in 1910 won the Moscow to St Petersburg Trial driving a 16/18bhp model. Having established its reputation, Lagonda concentrated mainly on the production of light cars before reverting to sporting and luxury models in the mid-1920s with the introduction of the 14/60. This four-cylinder, two-litre model was joined in 1929 by the first Lagonda six-cylinder engine, the three-litre, but by the mid-1930s, the Meadows-engined cars were seen as the way forward. Introduced at the 1933 Olympia Show and based on the preceding ZM three-litre model, the M45 deployed Meadows' 4.5-litre, twin-plug six-cylinder to good effect with saloons being capable of reaching 90mph and tourers even hitting 'the ton' under favourable conditions! 'A short run on one of the first of the 4.5-litre Lagonda models, with an open four-seater body, left a vivid impression not only of brilliant acceleration and sheer performance, but of a car delightfully silent and easy running in a way that can be achieved to its fullest extent only by a big-engined machine working well inside its limits,' reported The Autocar in 1933. A team of three specially prepared short-chassis cars (effectively the soon-to-be-announced M45 Rapide) prepared by Lagonda main agents, Fox & Nicholls, performed creditably at the 1934 RAC Tourist Trophy at Ards and the following year, one of these TT cars driven by John Hindmarsh and Luis Fontes won the Le Mans 24-Hour endurance classic outright. Endowed with such an impeccable pedigree, the Lagonda 4.5-litre quickly established itself as a favourite among the wealthy sporting motorists of its day - World Land Speed Record holder, Sir Malcolm Campbell was one of many high-profile M45 owners - and over 70 years on, this model and the M45R Rapide in particular, remains a much sought after classic. The car offered here has been owned by two avid car collectors since 1963. The previous owner kept this T7 bodied M45 Rapide with two other Lagondas in his collection and used them regularly. He had actually started to restore this particular car in the late 1990s but unfortunately passed away before the final items could be completed. The current owner was a close family friend who had helped with the disposal of the vehicle collection. Consequently, that left this car which he purchased in 2002. He then completed the restoration which included completely rebuilding the engine and renewing the leather interior. In recent years, he has used it on the Irish Jubilee Rally and has taken it to the Le Mans Classic with both trips trouble free other a couple of punctures. The reliability of this car is such that, when it was consigned, the owner was planning to drive the car to Brooklands from South Wales. This M45 Rapide, with the original T7 touring body, is finished in blue with dark blue leather interior, black hood and side screens. It is supplied with a V5C registration document, a valid MoT test certificate and a file with continuous history going back to 1952. In the history file there is an invoice for an engine overhaul, completed in 1962 at the cost of a small flat. Lagonda cars have always upheld a reputation for effortless fast touring and the pride of ownership which fine detail work and distinguished coachbuilding can give. The 4.5-litre model retains these characteristics but scores considerably over its forebears by its high power-to-weight ratio. This Lagonda M45 Rapide is an exciting, ready-to-go, very well sorted driver with astonishing power and equally capable handling.

Registration : WYA917G Chassis Number : AAB11210934A Engine Number : 1CH791AA/73873 Odometer reading : 41,907 miles Estimate : £11,000 - £14,000 The Mini Moke is based on the Mini and designed for the British Motor Corporation (BMC) by Sir Alec Issigonis. The name comes from 'Mini'- the car with which the Moke shares many parts and 'Moke' - an archaic dialect term for donkey. The initial design was a prototype for a light military vehicle in the style of the American Jeep but its small wheels and low ground clearance made it impractical as an off-road vehicle. It was subsequently offered in a civilian version as a low-cost, easily maintained utility vehicle. The Moke finally achieved success as a beach buggy-becoming a popular 'cult' vehicle in the Seychelles, Australia, the USA and many tropical resorts in the Caribbean. Mokes were first built at the Morris factory in Oxford, before production moved to BMC's Longbridge, Birmingham plant and eventually, overseas. This UK supplied, 1969 Austin Mini Moke has recently been the subject to a full restoration with lots of new panels fitted. The previous owner had known the car for over 30 years and the person he acquired it from informed him that this was one of three special order Mokes, made for the Devon and Cornwall Police and fitted with a 1100cc engine for patrolling on the Isles of Sicily and around the perimeter of Dartmoor Prison. Returned to the original Old English White with black seat cushions, black roof and a complete set of weather equipment, it is supplied with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate which expires in March 2016. The vendor has recently driven this Moke to a classic car show and reported that it performed 'superbly'.
Registration : J513SPG Chassis Number : 053 Engine Number : 140B707000041933 Estimate : £35,000 - £40,000 The Ferrari P series were prototype sports cars in the 1960s and early 1970s. Although Enzo Ferrari resisted the move even with Cooper dominating F1, Ferrari began producing mid-engined racing cars in 1960 with the Ferrari Dino-V6-engine Formula Two 156, which would become the Formula One winner of 1961. Sports car racers followed in 1963. 1967 was a banner year for the Enzo Ferrari motor company as it saw the production of the mid-engined 330 P4, a renowned V12 endurance car meant to replace the previous year's P3. Only four Ferrari P4-engined cars were ever made; one P3/4 and three 330 P4s. Their three-valve cylinder head was modelled after those of Italian Grand Prix-winning Formula One cars. The famous German designer Luigi Colani commissioned the first P4 replica built in 1977 by Noble Motorsport in Leicester. A steel space frame was used and the reliable Renault 3.0 litre, V6 engine linked to a five-speed transaxle giving the power and speed for use on the track also. The fibreglass body has been produced with careful attention to detail and the result is a faithful copy of the original car built in the 1960s. A fun and exciting evocation of the great original with desirable looks and still manages to turn heads today. This Noble P4, number 053, was built in 1992 and purchased by the previous owner in August 1995; a design director of Ford Motor Company. Correspondence and receipts from Neil Foreman of NF Auto Development indicate that it was upgraded to the latest specification of the time, including wishbones, reinforced chromed steering arms, shock absorbers and springs along with a new radiator and cooling fan during 1998. Sliding side windows were fitted in July 1999 to complete the new build, now sporting a redesigned front end. The all-alloy 2.7 litre, fuel injected V6 Renault engine, coupled with the five-speed gearbox provides suitable power for the light weight space frame construction and the upgrades have enhanced the drivability and usability. Documents show that in 1995, it was purchased with a mileage of 4,595. An invoice from Alan Collins Performance Car Specialist in 1997 then records the mileage at 4,639. It was then stored privately in Germany for at least ten years and it appears that the odometer stopped working at some point during this period; however, we are informed that it has been subject to little use since then. Purchased by the vendor two years ago to join his collection of Ferraris, he found he was unable to import the car to the USA allowing us to offer it today. This Noble Ferrari 330 P4 is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in September 2015 and a large history file which includes the original build manuals, letters of new part conformity for registration, wiring diagrams and drawings. Due to the great fame, sleek appearance and absolute rarity of the original, most of us can only aspire simply to enjoy a hand-crafted and bespoke built P4 replica, similar to the exceptional car offered here. This real xxxxxx is on the button and ready for a new owner to enjoy.
Registration : EDU 296C Chassis Number : B947215IHROFE Odometer reading : 39,666 miles Estimate : £18,000 - £22,000 Inspired by the AC Cobra that was effectively the British AC Ace sports car powered by the large American Ford 4.2 litre V8; the Sunbeam Tiger first saw the light of day in 1964. Based upon the Rootes Group, Sunbeam Alpine, the Tiger with the Ford power plant slotted into the engine bay became what is surely a true motoring 'wolf in sheep's clothing'. Precise handling was retained by keeping the Alpine's rack and pinion steering with knock out performance due not only to the muscle V8 but also the lightweight Alpine shell. This unique Tiger has a very interesting past and when first registered on 10th February1965as EDU 296C to Humber Ltd, the supplying dealer, there were already plans afoot to have the car used initially as a press car as can be found in May 1965's edition of Sporting Motorist. When ownership was transferred to K.S Advertising of London in 1966, the car was featured in the 1965 movie 'Bunny Lake is Missing' starring Noel Coward. The car, which was initially blue, was heavily filmed and is indeed part of the final scene but given that a copy of the movie is in the history file we wouldn't want to give that ending away. The Tiger then, for some 15 years, had a more regular ownership until the late 1970s when the vendor at the time decided that he would restore and re-spray the vehicle with an important change from the original 4.2litre V8 to a larger 4.7litre, (289ci) V8 engine of which extensive details can be found in the history file. The current vendor came to learn about the car in 2006 and approached the then owner, at which time he was informed that the car had been Dyno tested at 330bhp and would be capable of 140mph- though was advised not to try! The current owner has since gathered much information on this important car and has used it sparingly only having covered less than 3,000 miles in the last 14 years. Accompanying the car is a fantastic history file with original buff log book, original bill of sale and spec sheet, original sales brochure, a copy of the Sporting Motorist from 1965 which featured EDU 296C and even a DVD copy of the movie this car starred in. Like in any Tiger, the V8 sound track is amazing and the torque on this specific car is definitely something to experience. Having had a recent MoT test which expires May 2016, a wealth of recent bills, electric ignition fitted alongside a Sebring exhausts and uprated fan, this car is truly unique and part of Sunbeam's motor history. 
Registration : VGM 60K Chassis Number : 9111101195 Engine Number : 6112016 Odometer reading : 11,700 miles Estimate : £30,000 - £40,000 The original Porsche 911, with its famous, distinctive and durable design was introduced in the Autumn of 1963 and built until 1989. Mechanically, the 911 was notable for being rear engined and air-cooled. From its inception, the 911 was modified both by private racing teams and the Porsche factory itself for racing, rallying and other types of automotive competition. The original 911 series is often cited as the most successful competition car ever, especially when its variations are included; mainly the powerful 911-derived 935 which won 24 Hours du Mans and other major sports cars races. The 1972-1973 models all got a new, larger 2341cc engine. This is universally known as the '2.4L' engine, despite its displacement being closer to 2.3 litres; perhaps to emphasize the increase over the 2.2 litre engine. The new power ratings were 130hp for the T, 165hp for the E and 190hp for the S. In March of last year, all Porsche main dealers received an invitation from Porsche GB in Reading. The challenge was to source an original air-cooled car, strip it, restore it and present it, fully restored, at the Classic Car Show at the Birmingham NEC to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the production of the flagship car, the 911. After much soul-searching and time spent in the small ads and on various well-known internet based auction websites, Porsche Centre Brooklands found and bought two cars - a 911 Carrera Targa and this 911T. Eventually the Carrera received the treatment from the fastidious workshops whilst the T was 'rested' - the reasoning being that the Carrera was thought to be a more viable project given the time frame allowed. The overall condition of the 911T reflects the time spent unused - over the last 28 years just two owners are recorded with the last valid tax disc showing 1988. The panels, in their original Viper Green, will need repair or replacement; however, the interior is complete and in reasonably good condition, it even has the correct (and extremely hard to find) steering wheel. The matching engine rotates and shows good oil pressure but does not fire as it is missing its distributor. The car, overall, requires a full restoration but the important question to ask is, how often do opportunities like this come along? A complete and original 911T, ready for restoration and most certainly worth it. Interested parties should note that a video exists showing the engine cranking, during which it was observed that the oil pressure light went out indicating good pressure.
Chassis Number : 14440 Engine Number : 14903 Odometer reading : 89,417 miles Estimate : £105,000 - £120,000 1927 saw the introduction of the six-cylinder Alvis 14.75 and this engine became the basis for the long line of luxurious six-cylinder Alvis cars produced up to the outbreak of the Second World War. The overtly sporting 2,511cc Speed 20 appeared in 1932 and a year later, as the SB series, was treated to a number of innovations including independent front suspension and the world's first all-synchromesh gearbox. In 1936 a larger 3,511cc engine was introduced with seven main bearings, rather than the four of the earlier Speed 20, giving an output of 110bhp. The clutch, flywheel and crankshaft were balanced together, which minimised vibration and two electric petrol pumps fed the three SU carburettors. The new 3 ½ litre model initially carried saloon bodywork only, but a year later it was combined with the latest version of the Speed 20 chassis to create the Speed 25, capable of a top speed of 95mph and widely considered to be one of the finest cars of its era. Alvis never supplied any of the bodies for the Speed 25. All the cars were supplied in chassis form and the majority were bodied by Cross & Ellis (Tourer), Charlesworth (Saloon and Drop Head Coupé) and Vanden Plas. Many other coachbuilders including Bertelli, Carbodies, Lancefield and Offord would also offer suitably elegant open touring or saloon car bodies on the Alvis chassis. This 1937 SB Series Speed 25 carries a Sedanca Drop Head Coupé body by Charlesworth and has been in the vendor's possession since 1983. Originally registered BG 5953 (a Birkenhead series for which records no longer survive), little is known of its history prior to it being owned in the late 1950s by David Heimann. According to the vendor, there is some speculation that the Alvis saw service as a police vehicle and that there was also a connection with Sir Anthony Eden but no supporting evidence has come to light; hopefully further research might prove fruitful. During the vendor's long ownership the Alvis has been treated to a complete body and mechanical restoration and carefully maintained since, covering little mileage. There is a history file with the car which contains detailed invoices for the work carried out by Hightone Restorations as well as all MoT certificates going back to 1981. There is also a valuation report carried out in 1989 by marque expert Malcolm Elder which describes the Alvis as one of the best of its type in existence. Resplendent in cream paintwork with navy blue interior, this Alvis is ready to be enjoyed by an appreciative new owner and, as a highly original example of one of the finest cars of the 1930s, is sure to attract interest from collectors and enthusiasts alike. Note: the original registration mark (BG 5953) is presently being re-applied for.
Registration : T595HUB Chassis Number : WDB2084472T022549 Engine Number : 11197520018817 Estimate : No Reserve The first-generation C208 CLK was introduced in 1996 and based on the W202 Mercedes-Benz C-Class launched three years earlier. The C208 Coupé was replaced by the C209 CLK-Class in 2002, although the convertible remained in production until 2003 when it was replaced by the A209 CLK. The CLK introduced a new market niche for Mercedes-Benz. Although the C208 used components from the E-Class and had a specification level higher than the E-Class, it was in fact based on the less expensive C-Class platform. This top of the range 230CLK Elegance convertible is fitted with a very rare five-speed manual gearbox. It has a very good service history and the vendor informs us that it is an excellent driving car. Finished in Metallic Blue with blue electric convertible roof and light grey leather interior, this 230CLK is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in May 2016 and the original handbook pack containing handbooks and service history.
Registration : H211 YHR Chassis Number : SAJJNADW3DB171494 Engine Number : 8S0761885B Odometer reading : 51,000 miles Estimate : £6,000 - £8,000 The Jaguar XJS is a luxury grand tourer produced from 1975 to 1996 and replaced the E-Type. Although it never had quite the same sporting image, the XJS was a competent successor with better aerodynamics than the E-Type. The last XJS was produced on 4th April 1996, by which time 115,413 had been produced spanning a 21 year production life. The specifications of the XJS compared well against Italian cars with acceleration of 0-60mph in 7.6 seconds and a top speed of 143mph. In 1983, a new 3.6 litre AJ6 straight-six engine was introduced by Jaguar and at the same time a new cabriolet model, the XJ-SC became available. The XJ-SC was not a full convertible but had a non-removable centre targa-type structure and fixed rails above the doors. The static rear quarter windows remained. The two-seat XJ-SC targa was replaced by a two-seat full convertible in 1988, which proved to be a great hit. Presented in Diamond Blue with navy hood, this V12 convertible is offered in a beautiful and sought after combination with unmarked alloy wheels and excellent coachwork. This particular example has been very well cared for but unfortunately in late summer of 2014 suffered light damage. The insurance company paid out on the claim and this example has since been the subject to a comprehensive inspection by Autolign of Northampton to ensure all repairs were of a suitably high standard and I not categorised. Having covered just 51,000 miles and offered with a stamped service history, new MoT test certificate (valid until March 2016) various old MoT test certificates, a very good history file and even the tool kit present in the boot this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a fast and appreciating classic which frankly, looks as new despite its 24 years of age!
Registration : WCL 488L Chassis Number : KE14537 Engine Number : KE011443HE Odometer reading : 4,732 miles Estimate : £5,000 - £7,000 A fastback Spitfire powered by the 2000 saloon's two litre, six cylinder engine, the GT6 arrived in October 1966 with production running until 1973. Like the Spitfire, it inherited what was essentially the Triumph Herald's chassis and running gear which had already proved capable of handling six-cylinder power when developed for the Vitesse saloon. A comfortable ride was considered vital for the all-important North American market so the GT6 inherited the Herald/Spitfire's softly sprung rear swing axle though the latter arrangement would be superseded by lower wishbones on the GT6 Mk. II. At the same time the engine received a power boost courtesy of the TR5 cylinder head and 'hotter' camshaft, maximum output increasing from 95 to 104bhp. The restyled, last-of-the-line, Mk. III adopted the contemporary Spitfire's simpler 'swing-spring' rear suspension. Brisk performance (100mph+) and stylish, the GT6 well deserved its 'mini E-Type' sobriquet and today, is one of the most sought after of post-war Triumph sports cars with only 13,042 Mk. III examples manufactured. Originally registered on 15th September 1972, this GT6 is a sound example although a little light re-commissioning is required. The 1998cc engine starts and runs well and we are advised she drives well. These stylish sports-cars have become highly sought after of late and an example such as this represents an ideal opportunity to obtain one at a reasonable cost. The bodywork shows little sign of corrosion although the interior would benefit from some time and investment. Supplied with a V5 registration document, this Triumph could well prove to be a fine investment.
Registration : RYN 631Y Chassis Number : SCAZS0008DCH06892 Engine Number : 06892 Odometer reading : 143,560 miles Estimate : No Reserve The Silver Spirit was unveiled in October 1980 as a replacement for the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. Direct comparison, however, showed only small differences. The new models had slightly grown in length and width; height had been cut a little, although the styling was more modern than that of its predecessor. The interior was dominated by the expected combination of fine wood and sumptuous leather. The Silver Spirit was similar mechanically to the Silver Shadow, benefiting from the superb Rolls-Royce 6,750cc, V8 and sharing many mechanical characteristics of the model it replaced. The instruments were supplemented by digital units which gave such information as the time, elapsed driving time and external temperature and were the first Rolls-Royce to be fitted with a retractable Spirit of Ecstasy. This example offered in Light Ocean Blue with dark blue leather hide was first registered in November 1982, a lovely example that has had a newly rebuilt gearbox and a wealth of recent works which should inspire confidence in any new prospective owner, coupled with an MoT test certificate valid until May 2016. An upgraded stereo is also included, as are previous MoT certificates and a V5 registration document. With such a well cared for example, offered without reserve, this is an ideal route into luxury Rolls-Royce ownership.
Registration : CRX 503M Chassis Number : HS30103162 Engine Number : tbc Odometer reading : 71,898 miles Estimate : No Reserve The Nissan 240Z was the first generation of the GT two-seat coupés from 1969 to 1978. Dealers soon had long waiting lists for the 'Z'. Its modern design, relatively low price and growing dealer network compared well to other foreign sports cars of the time. The series I launched in 1970 with the Series II in 1971 with minor design changes in-between. This unusual example has been modified and could, given some light re-commissioning prove to be an effective racing car. A cam-tail has been added together with a louvered bonnet and enclosed headlights. Under the bonnet lies Chevrolet V8 mated to a B&M floor shift automatic gearbox. A Kenlow fan and oil cooler has also been fitted and it presents in vibrant orange.
Registration : 189CVJ Chassis Number : 77500777B Engine Number : 77501228A Odometer reading : 49,000 miles Estimate : £5,000 - £8,000 The P5 appeared in September 1958 badged as the '3-Litre'. It was powered by a 2995cc engine, a straight-six that used an overhead intake valve plus side exhaust valve; an unusual arrangement inherited from the Rover P4. Automatic transmission, overdrive (if you chose to opt for the manual) and power steering were optional, with overdrive becoming standard from May 1960. Stopping power came originally from a Girling brake system that employed 11-inch drums all round but this was a heavy car, so by the time of the London Motor Show in October 1959, Girling front-wheel power discs brakes had appeared. The Mk. II version of the P5 was introduced in 1962. It featured more power from the same three litre engine and an improved suspension whilst also dropping the glass wind deflectors from the top of the window openings. The most notable addition to the range was the option of the coupé body style, launched in Autumn 1962. This very original 1963 Rover P5 has had three owners from new; the first two lived in Wales and the second one only sold the car in 2013. The car has been in dry storage for a number of years and it is believed that the mileage of 49,000 miles is correct but cannot be guaranteed. This P5 has been re-commissioned since being in storage which included a brake overhaul. Finished in light navy blue with buckskin leather interior, it is supplied with a V5C registration document, the buff log book, the owner's handbook and a service book. Rovers from this period are becoming more and more sought after because of their style and build quality and are always a favourite with the Royal family.
Registration : B47 YJD Chassis Number : ZAR116C0003003457 Engine Number : AR01646/012883 Odometer reading : 40,082 miles Estimate : £7,000 - £10,000 The new Alfetta was released in 1972 with a mechanical layout which was reminiscent of the late 1930s and 1940s Alfetta 158 and 159 Grand Prix cars and still had the twin overhead cam engine of the earlier post-war Alfas. What linked them to the racing Alfettas was the shifting of the clutch and gearbox assembly to the rear of the car and the attachment of the gearbox to the differential. This transaxle assembly was located to the complex deDion rear suspension that incorporated coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers. The progressive-rate front suspension used torsion bars in place of the familiar coil springs of the earlier Giulias and Giuliettas. The design gave a near 50/50 weight distribution throughout the car, which resulted in the car having exceptional handling characteristics. The twin-cam engine was replaced in 1981 by what is considered today as the legendary Alfa Romeo V6 engine. This beautiful 2.5 litre, V6 example presented in silver with black velour trim started life in May 1985 as a company car to an executive for the oil producers, Shell Ltd. It, unsurprisingly, had a stamped original service book when owned as a company car but after an early life with light use, was dry stored for some nine years. Since having been awoken from its slumber, the car has been subject to a full engine and gearbox rebuild which was some 3,000 miles ago and a full restoration, giving us this lovely example today. With no modifications from new, this fantastic example with very low mileage is offered with an MoT test certificate valid until March 2016 and, we think, is very good value for a future classic. The prop shaft on this car has failed upon delivery but the vendor has informed us that this will be fixed post auction along with a clutch re balancing for the buyer and deliver it upon completion.
Registration : VIL 7725 Chassis Number : 12302322159921 Engine Number : 11595422060702 Odometer reading : 12,930 miles Estimate : No Reserve Presented in deep red with a light patterned cloth interior, this automatic 230 saloon represents a well priced interesting introduction into classic car ownership. Whilst some attention is required on the forward sills, the main body of the car is straight and it also benefits from a full one year MoT test certificate, a full set of new tyres and UK registration document. Offered without reserve and desirous of a little tlc, these W123 models are becoming collectable in their own right.

Attributed to Arthur William Devis (1762-1822) 'Portrait of Lt Col. James Campbell' Oil on canvas, 76.2 x 63.5 cm Footnote: Lt Col. James Campbell was a younger brother of Sir Islay Campbell of Succoth, a famous President of the College of Justice, sons of Archibald Campbell of Succoth and Helen Wallace. James served in the Madras Native Infantry-Cadet in 1771, Lt Col. in 1796. The colour of the facings, evidently changed from buff to yellow, may indicate that he was in the 8th regiment. He had resigned by 1798 when he was resident in Edinburgh. An old label on the reverse states that the portrait is by Raeburn, but this is unlikely to be correct. The portraitist Devis had gone out to Calcutta in 1784 and remained working in India until 1795. He was in Madras in 1794 and the portrait is likely to date from that time. We are indebted to Christopher Bryant for help in cataloguing this item. CONDITION REPORT: Lot 267 - Painting has been re-lined, small dent/mark above name plate centre bottom, some crazing across picture. Under UV light: signs of touching to left side of head, small spats touched up below nose to chin, touching to outer edge of right arm (bottom corner). Couple of crazing lines touched above left shoulder.
