1956 Lamborghini DL30- Restored by Colin Clarke of Lamborghini specialists Colin Clarke Engineering- NOVA declared, minimal use since completion including display at Goodwood Revival- Supplied new by Beninca, twin-cylinder 1810cc engine, 4 speed manual plus reverseFerruccio Lamborghini launched Lamborghini Trattori in 1948, his early tractors utilising war surplus truck and military vehicle engines and differentials as their basis. Within a few years production had increased to 200 units a year whilst Italian-made engines replaced the dwindling supplies of war era stock. The twin-cylinder DL30 became available in 1952, featuring an OHV 26hp engine displacing some 1810cc driving through a four-speed manual gearbox with reverse gear.Acquired and restored in 2014 by renowned Lamborghini specialists Colin Clarke Engineering, the example offered here was originally supplied by Beninca, whose supplier's plate it retains to this day. Described as being in "excellent" condition regarding its bodywork, engine, electrics, paintwork and gearbox, this delightful tractor is in full running order and was recently displayed at both Goodwood Revival and St John's Wood Show. NOVA registered and complete with its old Italian registration document, it has covered a minimal mileage since completion and would grace any collection or be ideal for the show circuit.
1940 Studebaker Champion Coupe- Reportedly resident in Portugal from new until 2015- Understood to have professional " nut and bolt " restoration - Engine,gearbox,bodywork,paintwork,interior and electrical descrivbed as excellent By the late 1930s Studebaker's sales were in sharp decline but rather than cut costs the management gambled everything on a clean sheet design. Launched in April 1939, the resultant Champion was the lightest car in its class. The Indiana-based company's engineers had acquired models from four domestic and four foreign competitors and meticulously stripped them to see where weight could be saved. Equipped with a 2700cc straight-six engine, manual transmission, independent front suspension and hydraulic drum brakes, the Champion could reputedly return almost 33mpg (a figure no rival could match). The first Studebaker to be penned by Raymond Loewy's renowned industrial design studio, initial variants comprised a four-door Cruising Sedan, two-door Club Sedan or three-passenger Coupe. Stealing a march on America's `Big Three' manufacturers, the Champion returned Studebaker to profitability.Finished in Tan with Tan / Brown upholstery, this left-hand drive example is described by the vendor as `excellent' with regard to its engine, gearbox, bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment and interior trim. Reportedly resident in Portugal from new until being imported to the UK in 2015-16, the Studebaker is further understood to have been treated to a professional `nut and bolt' restoration and to `drive superbly'. A decidedly rare sight on British roads, it is worthy of close inspection.
1970 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 2+2- Delivered new to a Mr F A Croshas of Staffordshire by P J Evans of Birmingham- 88,500 miles from new- Offered with original owners' manual and service bookJaguar's now immortal E-Type made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show of 1961. Like the XK 120 before it, the newcomer was the fastest production car of its time - its 3.8-litre straight six engine allowing a 0-60mph acceleration time of just over seven seconds and a top speed of 150 mph. The model underwent its first major surgery in 1966 when, feeling there needed to be a version in which customers' children could share the E-Type experience, Jaguar introduced the 2+2 Fixed Head Coupe (known as the XKE in America, where most examples were sold). A rear bench seat was accommodated by increasing the wheelbase by nine inches and adding two inches to the roofline. The airy 2+2 however benefited from the same fully independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and disc brakes as its two-seat sibling. By now, the E-Type range was powered by a 4.2-litre version of the company's ubiquitous DOHC, straight-six engine, which developed 265bhp and 283 lb ft of torque. The first E-type model to be offered with automatic transmission, the 2+2 was in production for a total of five years, during which time some 5,599 Series 1 and 5,326 Series 2 examples were built.According to the accompanying Heritage Certificate, this home market Series 2 model vacated the factory on October 23, 1969 and was delivered to its first owner, a Mr F A Croshas of Tamworth, Staffs, by the dealer P J Evans of Birmingham. It was finished in Cream and trimmed in Black-piped White leather. A matching numbers car, its bodywork is still Cream in colour, but in recent times has been treated to a new Black interior and overhaul of its DOHC 4.2-litre XK engine. Currently registering 88,500 miles from new, the Jaguar comes complete with original owners' manual and service book.
1961 Austin-Healey Frogeye' Sprite- Described by vendor as excellent all round- Original chassis and engine- MOT till Aug 2018- In running order- History file including old MOT's and receiptsThe first generation Sprite was launched in Monte Carlo immediately prior to the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix and, thanks to its prominent bonnet-mounted headlights, quickly became known as the 'Frogeye' - a moniker that has stuck to this day. It's impossible not to smile at the sight of one, and this very original-looking 1961 example certainly looks capable of giving many years of happy motoring to its next keeper. Finished in arguably the best colour combination of White bodywork and Red interior trim, '788 JBJ' was restored in 2003 but retains its original chassis and 948cc A Series engine. It has apparently only had four owners from new and is presently regarded by the vendor as featuring 'excellent' bodywork, leather interior trim, paintwork, engine and manual gearbox. He is now offering it complete with comprehensive history file comprising lots of invoices and old MOTs, plus one valid until August 4th. How could you resist?
1978 Fiat 124 Spider- Recent professional respray in original colour- New soft top- Blue tooth and hands free facilityFiat's handsome 2+2 124 Sport Spider made its debut at the 1966 Turin Motorshow. The Ferrari 275 GTS-esque newcomer was styled and manufactured by Pininfarina and based on a shortened version of the popular 124 Saloon platform. Targeted at the American market, the newcomer was powered by a belt-driven DOHC version of the Saloon's four-cylinder pushrod unit, complete with alloy crossflow head. Initially 1,438cc in size, it grew in stages over 20 years to 1,995cc, taking the power output from 89bhp to 104bhp respectively (133bhp in the case of the 1,995cc turbo engine). The engine drove through either an all synchromesh five-speed manual gearbox or a General Motors three-speed automatic unit. Suspension was independent at the front by wishbones and coil springs, and by live axle, Panhard rod and coil springs at the rear. Braking was powerful courtesy of discs all-round and the steering was initially by worm and roller, but eventually rack and pinion. The model line finally ceased in 1985 after almost 200,000 Spiders had been produced - 75 per cent of which were destined for the American market.The lefthand drive sale car was one of the 75 percent and spent all its life in the US until recently, when it proved to be the perfect basis for a major refurbishment project. Now fully UK registered, it was completely stripped before being professionally resprayed in its original livery of Ferrari Rosso Corsa. The Spider is trimmed in Black and sports a new Black soft top that was selected to tone in with its refurbished dashboard. This particular example is powered by the 1,756cc twin-cam engine that was standard fit between 1974 and 1978. Only recently serviced and MOT'd, the Fiat is said to 'drive and hold the road well' and comes complete with new Bluetooth Pioneer radio with hands free phone facility.
1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Speedster PLEASE NOTE: We have been contacted by David Titchener to say that he bought this lot new from Dick Lovett of Swindon and had it registered as 'THE 89S' (The '89 Speedster) PLEASE NOTE: We have been informed by the vendor's family that this lot retains its original front tyres. Apparently, the rear tyres were only replaced in April 2012 because of a nasty cut to the nearside one. They believe that the presence of the original front tyres lends further credibility to the odometer reading of 17,500 miles. PLEASE NOTE: This lot is now registered with the DVLA under the number plate 'G542 TTV' - 1 of just 64 UK-supplied (C16 specification) examples - Factory-fitted with 'Turbo look' bodywork and electrically adjustable sports seats - 17,500 recorded miles, original Blaupunkt Toronto stereo, tyre compressor and tool kit Given the 356 Speedster's cult status, it seems amazing that Porsche took twenty-five years to launch a similarly minimalist drop-top 911. Brainchild of Peter Schutz and Helmuth Bott (the company's then President and Technical Director respectively), the Carrera 3.2 Speedster was visually distinguished from its Cabriolet sibling by a bespoke, more steeply raked aluminium-framed windscreen, simplified hood hidden beneath a distinctive `double hump' moulded polyurethane tonneau cover, lower slung sports seats and frameless side windows. The work of in-house stylist Tony Lapine, its distinctive lines were enhanced still further by the option of `Turbo-look' bodywork (which also entailed uprated suspension and brake components). A strict two-seater unlike the rest of the 911 range, it was powered by a 3164cc flat-six engine allied to the preferred G50 five-speed manual transmission. Living up to its name, the Speedster was capable of 0-60mph in 6 seconds and 152mph. Although previewed as a concept car at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show, the model did not enter production until January 1989. Notable as the last 911 variant to be derived from the same basic bodyshell as the 1963 original, the Carrera 3.2 Speedster was also the final 911 to be assembled at the old Zuffenhausen factory. Known internally as Option M503, the last of 2,104 examples rolled off the production line during July 1989. All but 171 customers specified the more dramatic `Turbo-look' bodywork with America and Germany proving the biggest markets. Of the 129 right-hand drive Speedsters made, just 64 were to UK `C16' specification. Embracing the less is more philosophy, Porsche charged a not insubstantial premium for the Speedster despite terming its roof a `rain hat' and demanding that original purchasers sign a disclaimer as to water and wind ingress! One of the sixty-four UK cars, chassis WPOZZZ91ZKS151277 was built to the following specification: Impact absorbers front and rear (058), Blaupunkt Toronto Radio Cassette player (330), Sports seat left, electric height adjustment (383), Sports seat right, electric height adjustment (387), Front and rear spoiler delete - i.e. none fitted (470), Turbo-look bodywork (491), Amplifier (494), Luggage compartment velour carpet (975), Guards Red paint (L80K) and Cashmere Beige upholstery (LC). First road registered as `THE 89S' on August 1st 1989, it had had three previous keepers prior to entering the current ownership twenty years ago the last of whom was Christopher Nowicki of Loughborough. Although, the vendor's ill health means that the low recorded mileage of 17,500 cannot be warranted, it certainly appears correct. Factory stickers are still present in the door jamb and under the luggage compartment lid. Pleasingly retaining its original engine and running well during our recent photography visit, we could not discern any sign of previous accident damage or repair. Maintained in-house by the owner's ex-Holbay mechanic, the Speedster still carries its original space saver spare wheel (with unused Vredstein tyre), Porsche plug-in air compressor, jack, tool roll and Blaupunkt stereo (complete with instructions). Issued with an `advisory free' MOT certificate which runs until January 2nd 2019, the two-seater is currently undergoing a cherished number plate transfer. Rare, desirable and coming to market for the first time since 1998, this seemingly low mileage `C16' Speedster is worthy of close inspection.
1989 Ferrari Mondial T Convertible- 63,500 miles from new- Last serviced with Terry Keys motorsport in 2015- Offered with its original tool kit, leather wallet, handbooks and service bookThe so-called T was the final iteration of Ferrari's mid-engined Mondial model range produced from 1980 to 1993 and differed markedly from its earlier siblings both inside and out. The T referred to the re-positioned drivetrain that, as per Ferrari F1 cars of the period, featured the engine mounted longitudinally driving through a transversely positioned transmission. This set the pattern for the marque's mid-engine V8 cars for years to come and endowed the T with far superior handling to previous Mondials, whose engines were mounted higher up and across the frame. For ease of maintenance, the revised drivetrain was fixed to a removable subframe. Other Ferrari firsts embodied in the Mondial T included power-assisted steering, three-position electronically controlled suspension and ABS as standard equipment. Power was provided by a dry-sump V8 unit of 3.4-litres developing 300bhp - sufficient to cover the 0-60mph sprint in 5.6 seconds. Production ran for just over four years during which 1010 Cabriolet versions were built, just 53 of which were right-hand drive. We are delighted to offer this notably original and unmolested right-hand drive manual transmission example, finished in the classic combination of Rosso Corsa with Cream leather interior. Offered with its original tool kit, leather wallet, handbooks and service book plus a collection of invoices, H410 NTF has covered come 63,500 miles from new and was last serviced with Terry Keys motorsport in 2015. More recently attention has been paid to the electric windows. The vendor currently rates the engine, gearbox, interior, paintwork and bodywork as all being in 'good' condition. A striking example, it is offered with a current MOT into February 2018.
1975 Jaguar XK140 Evocation- Unique Autotune Aristocat which has been further enhanced by the vendor- Recently treated to a quality re-spray- 4.2-litre Jaguar XK engine mated to a four-speed manual gearbox'XK2 545' is a unique Jaguar XK140 Evocation based on Autotune's Aristocat kit and further enhanced by the vendor. Finished in Red allied to a sumptuous Red-piped Black interior, the car was originally built by a Captain Jim Roberts and correctly registered by Autotune. Roberts regularly used the car open-topped until removing it from the road to recondition the engine, change the transmission from automatic to manual, install twin alloy fuel tanks etc. However, in the middle of the process his job took him abroad and the Jaguar lay untouched for some five years until rescued by the vendor. He subsequently invested two years extensively modifying and generally improving the car. He treated it to a quality respray after modifying every bodywork panel; fitted a curved windscreen, quarter-lights and wind-up windows; and installed a bespoke interior, new lights, rechromed bumpers, and custom-made copper exhaust system. In common with the original keeper, he took a 'no-expense-spared' approach to the project, as the intention was to keep it indefinitely. However, his circumstances changed and somebody else will now benefit from the time and money that have been lavished on the car - the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, 4.2-litre XK engine, and four-speed manual gearbox of which he now regards as all being in 'excellent' condition. Designed by Autotune of Rishton, Lancs., the Aristocat was an Evocation 'within the spirit of' the Jaguar XK140, and employed the running gear from a donor XJ6 or XJS housed within a purpose-designed steel spaceframe chassis. Created to suit a range of budgets, it could be built using as much as 80 percent of the donor car components, even including the seats and dashboard. Utilising unmodified XJ suspension resulted in the Evocation being a more practical five inches wider than an XK120 or 140, but only and inch more than the XK150.
1958 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL- Simply stunning left-hand drive example- Delivered new to the USA and offered with both hard and soft tops- Subject to an extensive restoration by its long-term keeper before his deathThe 190SL was introduced in 1955, the year Mercedes-Benz swept all before it on the Mille Miglia with the 300SLR, the graceful new two-door convertible grand tourer being sold alongside the road-going version of the SLR, the 300SL, whose styling it strongly resembled. In fact, the underpinnings of the two cars were quite different and, while the 300SL had a purpose-built tubular spaceframe (W198), its smaller sibling was built on a shortened version of the 'Ponton' saloon (W121) platform, which was of a monocoque construction. The 190SL also boasted an all-new engine, an over-square SOHC straight-four unit of 1897cc that produced some 105bhp, sufficient to propel the car to a maximum speed of 112mph. The engine was coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox operated by a lever between the seats. The suspension comprised double wishbones and coil springs at the front and a coil-sprung swing axle at the rear. Steering was by recirculating ball and braking by power-assisted drums all round.Built to the highest standards and among the quickest comparable cars of the time, the 190SL featured a well-appointed cockpit, notably comfortable for its occupants with relatively generous luggage space. Under the circumstances, even the steep asking price did nothing to deter purchasers. The convertible could be ordered with or without a removable hard top. There was also the option of a third seat that was placed transversely behind the front ones and big enough to carry an adult. The 190SL continued in production until 1963, when both it and the 300SL were replaced by the Pagoda. By this time over 25,000 190SLs had been built. This simply stunning left-hand drive example has Black bodywork matched to a Red hide interior. Having vacated the Stuttgart production line, it is understood to have been delivered new to the USA and has recently found its way back across the Atlantic to the UK. We are informed it received an extensive restoration by its long-term US keeper before his death. The vendor currently rates the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, four-cylinder engine and all-synchromesh transmission as all being in 'excellent' condition. Offered with duties paid and NOVA document, this handsome Mercedes is now ready to be UK registered.
1973 Iso Fidia- One of only 16 RHD produced- Original UK car- Engine and transmission described as excellent by vendorThe striking Giorgetto Giugiaro-penned Fidia was the only four-door model produced by Iso Automoveicoli SpA, 192 of which were manufactured between 1967 and 1975. The sales material carried the slogan 'le quattro poltrone piu veloce del mondo' - 'the four fastest seats in the world'. The luxurious interior was notable for its polished wood and hand-stitched leather, but high development costs pushed the purchase price above that of a contemporaneous Rolls-Royce. Not that this deterred the rich and famous - the second example was purchased by John Lennon. Early versions were powered by 5.4-litre Chevrolet powerplants, and later ones by Ford 5.7-litre units driving through ZF manual transmissions or Ford 'Cruise-O-Matic' automatic gearboxes.Only 16 Fidias were reputedly equipped with righthand drive, of which seven were Ford powered and few remain, making the sale car rare by any standards. Finished in the stylish combination of Mid Metallic Blue bodywork and Champagne-coloured hide interior trim, 'SVX 895M' was manufactured in July 1973 with the additional options of a large capacity sump, oil cooler, electronic ignition, power steering, automatic transmission, Michelin tyres, seat belts and electric sunroof. It was imported into the UK by Lancia dealers Wood and Krailing. Among its four previous keepers are the importing dealership and Chris Lackner, the UK President of the Iso & Bizzarrini Owners' Club. Now displaying some 54,000 miles, the Fidia has been treated to several desirable upgrades in recent years, including the substitution of alloy cylinder heads and the later Ford AOD automatic transmission, while the suspension has been overhauled and vented brake discs installed. This rare, rapid and sumptuous GT car is currently viewed by the vendor as having 'excellent' engine and transmission and 'very good' bodywork, paintwork and interior trim, and is now offered complete with quality McIntosh sound system, Nardi steering wheel and MOT to September 14.
1929 Ford Model A 5-Window Coupe- Very original condition- Formerly resident of California- Bodywork, engine, electrical, gearbox and interior described by vendor as very goodThe Model T phenomenon lasted 18 years, but by 1926 even Henry Ford had to admit that the car that 'put the world on wheels' had finally run out of steam. No follower of convention, he terminated T production on May 26th 1927 immediately after the 15 millionth example had rolled off the line, despite having nothing to replace it with. Henry himself directed the development of: a new longer, lower-slung chassis; a Howard Hicks-designed 3285cc, four-cylinder engine; three-speed manual transmission and novel electrical system. By the time the Model A made its debut on December 2nd, there was a backlog of 400,000 orders for a car nobody had seen!Finished in Green over Black with Red pinstriping and Brown upholstery, this Five-Window Coupe is described by the vendor as being in 'very good' condition with regard to its bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, gearbox and interior trim, while he rates the paintwork as 'good'. Formerly resident in California but now UK registered, the Ford's time in sunnier climes is understood to have helped preserve its steel bodywork. Said by the seller to 'drive well' and be 'very original', this appealing left-hand drive Model A has recently seen service with a film hire company.
2000 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible- Supplied new to Florida then resided in Spain until 2015- Major service in 2017 by Amercian car specialist- Optional heads up displayA discernible improvement on its predecessor, the fifth generation or C5 Corvette was introduced in 1996. Commendably light and stiff, its hydroformed box frame chassis played host to composite transverse-leaf independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Powered by a new alloy 5.7 litre LS1 V8 engine, the two-seater boasted 51:49 weight distribution thanks to rear-mounted transaxles which housed either four-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. Initially rated at 345hp/350lbft, the powerplant was breathed upon to develop 350hp/365lbft for the 2001 model year. Weighing less than 1,500kg, the C5 Corvette Convertible was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds and 164mph. Proof of the design's fundamental soundness, the racing C5-R versions were regular class winners at the Le Mans 24-hours.Finished in Torch Red with Red leather upholstery, this more potent 2001 model year example is described by the vendor as `excellent' with regard to its engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. Supplied new in Florida, the two-seater migrated to Spain before being UK registered during 2015. Treated to a major service by an American car specialist last year, it boasts the optional Heads-Up Display (HUD). Offering huge performance per pound sterling, this striking `Vette is MOT'd until April.
1970 Morris Mini Cooper S MKII- Said to be extremely original apart from replacement of front wings- 1275cc, rare reclining seats option, previous long-term ownership- Blue / White with Black interior, V5C documentThe value of classic Minis has rocketed in recent years, and whereas a while ago enthusiasts were busy modifying them to taste today's predominant requirement is for examples that have either been professionally restored or remain unmolested. 'CLR 326H' falls into the latter category and is believed to be highly original save for replacement front wings. The vendor presently grades the A Series engine and manual gearbox as 'very good', the bodywork and Black interior trim as 'good', and the White over Blue paintwork as 'average', as there is some evidence of micro-blistering. The Cooper has reputedly been owned by a doctor for some 22 of its 48 years. Somewhere along the way, the rest of its history has been mislaid so the car's only accompanying paperwork is the current V5. The mighty Mini's specification includes reclining front seats and the odometer currently displays just 9,709 (unwarranted) miles.
1980 Innocenti Mini de Tomaso- Rare high-performance Mini derivative styled by Bertone- The least expensive way into De Tomaso ownership!- Extensively restored by its previous keeper and part of a private collection since 2000`We found it irresistible; an engaging little car with an on-the-road performance as chirpy as its appearance . . . there would surely be a market for it as a cult-car appealing both to chic-about-town Chelsea-ites, and "bring-back the Cooper S" enthusiasts' (Motor magazine reviewing the Innocenti Mini de Tomaso)British Leyland's Italian subsidiary Innocenti unveiled a radically reworked three-door hatchback version of the Mini at the 1974 Turin Salon. Styled by Bertone, the newcomer could be had in 90L (998cc, 43bhp) or 120L (1275cc, 63bhp) guises but was powerless to prevent its British parent company's bankruptcy the following year. Snapped up by automotive entrepreneur Alejandro de Tomaso, Innocenti introduced a high-performance version named after him at the 1976 Turin Salon. Boasting some 71bhp (74bhp from 1978 onwards), four-speed manual transmission and dry rubber cone independent suspension, it handled and went like a Cooper S but looked rather more modern thanks to its moulded plastic bumpers, flared wheelarches, alloy wheels and prominent bonnet scoop.Finished in Metallic Black with Beige cloth upholstery, this particular left-hand drive example is variously rated by the vendor as `average' (interior trim), `good' (1275cc engine, gearbox, electrical equipment) or `very good' (bodywork, paintwork). Reportedly extensively restored by its previous owner who also entered it for car club sprints, the Innocenti has formed part of a private collection since 2000. Sparingly used over the past eighteen years and showing an unwarranted 91,000km to its odometer, this rare Mini is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document showing two former keepers since its importation during 1991 and MOT certificate valid until August 2018.
1966 Aston Martin DB6 PLEASE NOTE: A faulty brake master cylinder has prevented the vendor from submitting this lot for MOT testing as planned and as such it does not possess a current / valid MOT certificate. The vendor has purchased a reconditioned brake master cylinder from Aston Engineering of Derby and this can be forwarded to the successful purchaser on an exchange basis. PLEASE NOTE: The saleroom estimate for this lot is now 160,000 - 200,000 - Current ownership since 1972 and less than 81,000 recorded miles - Matching chassis and engine numbers, ZF five-speed manual gearbox - Taken off the road in 1979 and reupholstered by Chisholm to include headlining, door cards, carpets and boot - Treated to a bare metal repaint some eight years ago plus new windscreen, unleaded cylinder head conversion (Aston Engineering), fresh tyres, electronic ignition etc Unveiled at the 1965 London Motor Show, the DB6 was notable for being the first Aston Martin model to be engineered following the company's move from Feltham to Newport Pagnell. Although, a direct development of the DB5, with the same visage, the newcomer enjoyed notably better high-speed stability thanks to the provision of a Kamm tail with built-in spoiler, and superior interior space courtesy of a 3.7-inch longer wheelbase and taller roofline. Grafted over a sheet steel platform chassis, the four-seater's hand-finished aluminium panels helped contribute to the claimed kerb weight of 3,232lbs that was actually only 17lbs heavier than its predecessor. Praised by the contemporary motoring press for its poise and handling, the DB6 employed all-round coil-sprung suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by the fabulous Tadek Marek designed 3995cc DOHC straight-six engine, the model boasted some 282bhp and 280lbft of torque in standard tune and could be had with five-speed ZF manual or three-speed Borg Warner automatic transmission. A contemporary road test found a manual DB6 to be capable of 0-60mph in 7.4 seconds and 150mph. A total of 1,327 MKI Saloons were produced between October 1965 and the MKII's July 1969 arrival. First registered in Newcastle-upon-Tyne as 'LVK 37D' on 11th January 1966, this particular example - chassis DB6/2470/R - entered the current ownership some six years later. Acquired from a local acquaintance who is believed to have been its second keeper at an indicated 63,000 miles, the Aston Martin was pressed into service as an everyday car. The vendor and his wife finding that its back seats were capacious enough to take their boys to rugby practice and its potent straight-six untroubled by towing the family speedboat. Laid-up in a heated garage during 1979 due to the demands of a busy veterinary practice, the DB6 was nonetheless treated to much work over the next two years. The sills and jacking points were replaced and repairs made to the suspension location points. The rear axle was overhauled by Roadstyles, the flywheel renewed and a fresh clutch fitted (complete with associated slave cylinder and hose). Newport Pagnell-trained, Chisholm not only reupholstered the seats in Red leather but also installed a new headlining, door cards and carpets. Thereafter, the suspension was refurbished with new parts as necessary, while a thorough overhaul of the brake system saw the callipers stripped and uprated with stainless steel pistons, the discs / pads renewed and various cables / hoses replaced. The radiator was recored, an electric fuel pump added and the triple SU carburettors rejuvenated. The rev counter was recalibrated and a stainless steel exhaust fitted. New wire wheels were sourced along with new electric window motors and wing shields / rubber seals. More recent fettling carried out over the past eight years or so has encompassed a bare metal respray in its original Silver Birch livery and an upgrade to electronic ignition. The windscreen and badging have been renewed as have the four tyres / tubes. The factory-fitted engine (number 400/2379) has had its cylinder head converted to unleaded by Aston Engineering. Starting readily upon inspection and manoeuvring easily whilst being photographed, it is hoped but not guaranteed that 'LVK 37D' will possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. Kept in a heated garage for the past thirty-nine years and coming to market for the first time since 1972, this appealing DB6 shows a highly credible 81,000 miles to its odometer and is offered for sale with continuation green logbook, cloth cover, original handbook, workshop manual, Heritage Certificate, sundry old MOTs dating back to 1974 and numerous parts receipts.
1967 Ford Mustang GT Convertible- 1 of just 283 Ford Mustang Convertibles to be finished in Nightmist Blue with Black bucket seats during the 1967 model year- Highly desirable and rare specification includes 289ci (4.7 litre) V8 engine, factory four-speed manual gearbox and the GT Equipment Group option- Marti Report included, circa £2,500 worth of invoices from Mustang Maniacs and a fresh MOTJust about the sportiest `small block' Mustang Convertible that money could buy during the 1967 model year (with the exception of the unicorn K-Code cars), chassis 7T03A118116 was built with a 289ci (4.7 litre) A-Code V8 engine, four-speed manual transmission and the prized GT Equipment Group option: grille mounted fog lamps, power front disc brakes, dual exhausts, GT fuel cap, handling package, rocker panel stripes and GT emblems etc. One of only 283 soft-tops to be finished in Nightmist Blue with Black bucket seats that season (regardless of engine / gearbox choice), it was completed at Ford's Metuchen plant on October 3rd 1966 and supplied new via Robin Ford of Glenolden, Pennsylvania. Sourced by the vendor from Georgia after a long search, the four-seater also boasts a power hood and air conditioning. Featuring a `garage door' centre console and concealed stereo with Bluetooth phone adapter, the seller tells us that `AKX 254E drives incredibly well and starts immediately after the mandatory six pumps'. Presentable but not perfect, the paintwork is microblistered in places, this decidedly rare and appealing muscle car is offered for sale with c.£2,500 worth of receipts from Mustang Maniacs and a fresh MOT certificate. Go find another! Faced with increasing competition from the likes of the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Charger, Ford opted to comprehensively re-style its class-leading Mustang for the 1967-model year. Sporting a jutting grille, concave rear panel and widened sheetmetal, the newcomer was not only more visually imposing than its predecessor but also able to accommodate larger `big block' engines. Faster in a straight line than their `small block' siblings, the heavier powerplants inevitably lost out in the handling stakes. Steve McQueen as Lieutenant Frank Bullitt may have been faster in a '67 Shelby GT350 but looked oh so cool in his 390 GT Fastback!
1951 Crosley CD Four Hook & LadderOne of just four "Hook and Ladder" examples built by Overland Amusements of Lexington, Massachusetts between 1949 and 1952 for amusement park, tourist attraction and carnival usage, this novelty ride combines a Crosley CD Four Pickup with a custom-made fifth wheel `hook and ladder' trailer. The trailer features benches down both sides with wooden ladders hinging up and down to act as passenger restraints. Said to have been extensively restored whilst resident in a New Jersey museum for many years, it sports `Itty Bitty Fire Co' livery and a complement of fire-fighting equipment: extinguisher, hose, axe, bell, siren and lights etc. A guaranteed head turner and perhaps welcome at the likes of the Goodwood Revival, the `hook and ladder' is the only one of its kind outside of America. All four examples still exist and the last one to cross the block made$115,500 with Barrett Jackson in 2015! Founded by radio pioneer Powel Crosley, Crosley Motors Inc switched from two- to four-cylinder engines after WW2 adopting the innovative 44ci (722cc) CoBra (Copper Brazed) overhead camshaft unit which had proven its worth as a generator aboard PT boats and Boeing B17 Flying Fortresses. Evolving into the CIBA (Cast Iron Block Assembly) version for 1949, the OHC powerplant developed a quoted 26.5hp and 32.5lbft of torque and was allied to three-speed manual transmission. Current from late 1948 until Crosley closed its doors on July 3rd 1952, the CD Four could be had as a Sedan, Coupe, Convertible, Station Wagon, Pickup or Panel Truck. A Crosley won the first race at Sebring and famous owners included Humphrey Bogart and President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The diminutive width of the Crosley at 48 inches is because they weren't sold through dealerships but department stores, and they had to get them through the doors!
1986 Austin Mini- Subject of a total bare body restoration only three years ago- 1380cc A Series engine and four-speed manual gearbox- Wide-rim Minilite-style wheels and roll cageThis handsome righthand drive 1986 MKV Mini was the subject of a total bare body restoration only three years ago, since when it has covered very few miles as a result of the owner moving abroad. The extensive work included comprehensive refurbishment of the engine and gearbox and the installation of fresh suspension and brake components and powder coated subframes. Featuring White over Grey bodywork and contrasting Black interior trim, 'D452 YBC' is considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, 1380cc A Series engine and four-speed manual gearbox, and comes complete with wide-rim Minilite-style wheels and roll cage. What's now classed as the Classic Mini was launched to an awed public in 1959, and continued in varying forms and under ever-changing management until 2000, by which time 5,387,862 examples had been produced. In 1999 it was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century, behind the Model T Ford.
1976 MG B Roadster- Treated to an extensive, 'bare metal' restoration by Moorland Classic Cars and the vendor (an engineer) since entering the latter's ownership in 1996- Still extremely smart some 11,000 miles and twenty-one years later- Finished in its original livery of Glacier White but with uprated Black leather upholstery, Minilite-style alloy wheels, stainless steel exhaust, half- / full tonneau covers, bespoke wind deflector etc- Among the nicest MG B Roadsters we have encountered and offered for sale with history file and CarcoonIntroduced in 1962, the MGB Roadster enjoyed an eighteen-year production run. With nicely balanced handling and a good turn of speed, it merited the old MG marketing slogan 'Safety Fast'. Based around a monocoque chassis featuring independent coil-sprung front suspension and a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle, its 1798cc 'B' series four-cylinder engine was allied to four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph (especially if specified with overdrive), the provision of disc/drum brakes and rack and pinion steering greatly aided control. Purchased from dealer Jeremy Wade in June 1996 for £3,750, this particular overdrive-equipped example was subsequently treated to an extensive, `bare metal' restoration. An engineer by profession, the vendor carried out much of the mechanical work himself but entrusted the bodywork to Moorland Classic Cars of Stoke-on-Trent. Fitted with a new front valance, front wings, doors, inner / outer sills, castle sections, lower half rear wings and splash panels etc, the Roadster was then repainted in its original Glacier White (MCC's largest accompanying bill totals £6,021.62). Re-trimmed with Red-piped Black leather upholstery, the two-seater also gained Minilite-style alloy wheels, half and full tonneau covers and a bespoke wind deflector. Some twenty-one years and 11,000 miles after its refurbishment was completed, `SKV 598R' remains a credit to the seller and Moorland Classic Cars not to mention being among the nicest MG B Roadsters we have encountered. Enjoyed on various road rallies / tours and kept in a Carcoon when not in use, other improvements over time have included a new petrol tank and Black mohair hood plus the installation of a stainless steel exhaust. While earlier this year `SKV 598R' benefited from new front shock absorbers and a replacement washer fluid bag. Worthy of close inspection, this highly presentable MG is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, Heritage Certificate, history file, current MOT certificate and Carcoon.
