1965 Maserati Quattroporte 4700 Iniezione - Built to the special order of serial Ferrari and Maserati owner Dr Enrico Wax - Fitted with a larger 4.7-litre V8 engine (the earliest first series Quattroporte to be thus equipped), its uprated specification also comprised a bespoke leather dashboard, modified exhausts and longer range fuel tanks etc - More 'run of the mill' option included power assisted steering, quad headlamps and Borrani wheels - Extensively restored in 2012-2013 This splendid, left-hand drive, matching numbers Maserati Quattroporte from May 1965, finished in the pleasingly contrasting combination of Black bodywork and Red hide interior, was created to the special order of serial Ferrari and Maserati owner Dr Enrico Wax - a personal friend of Il Commendatore and the Italian importer of Johnnie Walker whisky and Connolly leather. An example of the first series of cars (of which only around 50 are understood to remain), this car with chassis number AM107*504* was the first to be equipped with the 4719cc as opposed to 4136cc engine, by request of Dr Wax. The Dottore had also carburettors fitted in place of the Lucas fuel injection system (this can be reversed, the parts are still available) and Bosch ignition instead of Magneti Marelli - all this has been documented. Among the many other unique or optional fitments that make it such a Maserati collector's dream are: special 60mm exhaust pipes; a pair of enlarged fuel tanks giving an extra 30 litres capacity; Borrani Record wheels equipped with the original hubcaps emblazoned with Red Maserati logos (especially made for the Iniezione, normally they were Blue); Sebring facia trimmed in leather rather than wood; Bakelite-rimmed aluminium steering wheel; chrome-bezzled instruments; quadruple headlights; power-assisted steering; electric windows; and the car's original Blaupunkt push-button radio. There was also a record player, but that's subsequently been usurped by an air-conditioning unit. Introduced at the November 1963 Turin Salon, the Maserati Quattroporte was arguably the world's first 'Super Saloon'. A bold move on the part of the Casa del Tridente-owning Orsi family, the newcomer was part high-performance GT and part luxury limousine. Taking inspiration from the Maserati 5000GT he had penned for Prince Karim Aga Khan in 1961, Pietro Frua imbued the handsome Quattroporte with a low belt line, slim-pillared glasshouse and neatly defined yet spacious boot. Based around a unique sheet steel box-section chassis equipped with independent front suspension, a de Dion rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes, the four- / five-seater was powered by a race-bred 4136cc 'quad-cam' V8 engine allied to either ZF five-speed manual or Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission. Credited with developing some 260bhp and 267lbft of torque, the Maserati was capable of 0-60mph in around 8 seconds and over 140mph (depending upon the final drive ratio chosen). After the first few cars had been made, Quattroporte production was transferred from Carrozzeria Frua to Carrozzeria Vignale (though, Maggiora of Turin was responsible for fabricating the bodywork). Arriving in 1966, the updated Series II version (or Tipo 107A as it was known by the factory) sported a new quad-headlamp visage and revamped interior complete with lustrous wood cappings, electric windows and standard fit air-conditioning. While, under the skin a revised leaf-sprung Salisbury back axle resulted in a quieter, smoother ride. By the time production ceased the following year, some 770 cars had been completed (circa Series I: 260, Series II: 510). Stylish, fast and exclusive, the big Maser was driven by the likes of Marcello Mastroianni, Alberto Sordi, Stewart Granger, Anthony Quinn, Peter Ustinov, Leonid Breznev, Prince Rainier of Monaco and Conte Volpi di Misurata. We understand the Quattroporte was the subject of a comprehensive restoration in 2012/2013 and the vendor presently views the Maserati's Connolly Vaumol interior trim and five-speed manual gearbox as being in 'excellent' condition and the four-door bodywork, 'Nero' paintwork and V8 powerplant as 'very good'. He is now offering the car complete with copies of the original order and factory build sheets, plus a Maserati Heritage Certificate. This fine period Maserati is so much more than the sum of its graceful parts, as it embodies a personal connection to the heart of Modena's premier car manufacturers. A one-off opportunity.

1996 Subaru Impreza WRC 97 As far as historic rally cars go, Subaru Impreza WRC97001 is one of the most important ever made' (David Lilywhite - Octane magazine, May 2010) 'To many, the mid 1990s was the heyday of the Subaru World Rally Team. Following the drivers' and manufacturers' double in 1995 and a further manufacturers' title in 1996, the blue and yellow Impreza was rapidly becoming the icon of the championship and Colin McRae one of rallying's great stars. 1997 brought in a new era in the World Rally Championship, with the introduction of the appropriately named World Rally Car formula. While some continued to compete with what were predominantly modified Group A cars, the new FIA regulations provided an opportunity to bring new manufacturers into the championship, who otherwise were unable to homologate suitable road cars. At Prodrive we seized the opportunity, and while our Group A Impreza was already very competitive, we went back to the drawing board to develop a new two door Impreza World Rally Car from scratch. The engineering team, led by David Lapworth, spent 1996 developing the new car, and by the last event of the season, Rallye Catalunya, we were able to unveil our new car to the world's press. Whilst at this very same event, Colin McRae gave the Impreza Group A a fitting send off by winning the Spanish rally and clinching a second manufacturers' title for Subaru. Chassis 001 was the car we unveiled and used as our primary test and development car. It was thanks to the many hours Colin and the other drivers spent at its wheel, that when it came to the car's debut at Rally Monte Carlo in January 1997, Piero Latti was able to claim victory and help Subaru go on and win a third consecutive manufacturers' title' (David Richards - Prodrive, 2009) Taking full advantage of the new WRC rules, Lapworth and his team liberated considerably more power and torque from the Impreza's force-fed 1994cc engine but without sacrificing reliability. Occupying almost an entire inner wing the newcomer's huge airbox was complemented by a similarly enlarged intercooler that sat in front of, rather than atop, the charismatic flat-four thus minimising heat soak. The turbocharger itself was little altered but revised inlet / exhaust systems saw outputs increase to 300bhp and 347lbft of torque. The adoption of a two- rather than four-door bodyshell brought a notable increase in torsional rigidity as did the use of CAD to optimise the form and positioning of the integral rollcage (each monocoque took over 600 hours to reinforce / prepare), while the new regulations also allowed the McPherson strut suspension to have longer travel. Less reliant on computer control than its successors, the WRC97 fed power to all four wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox and front / centre / rear differentials. Styled by Peter Stevens of McLaren F1 fame, the car's blistered wings, front / rear spoliers, side skirts and even door mirrors were all wind tunnel-honed to maximise their aerodynamic efficiency. Hailed by Colin McRae as 'quick straight out the box and generally a bit better in every way as well as faster' than its Group A predecessor, Chassis 001 paved the way for its WRC97 sister cars to claim 119 stage wins and eight out of the fourteen World Rally Championship rounds between them. The eWRC-results.com website records Chassis 001 winning the 1998 Boucles de Spa Alphonse Delettre Rally in the hands of Gregoire de Mevius / Jean-Marc Fortin before being sold to Procar of Italy. Seemingly victorious on the Rali Vinho da Madeira, Rally Cyprus and Aviano Rally in 1999 that same year apparently saw it piloted by none other than nine-time motorcycle champion Valentino Rossi to eighth place on the Rally di Monza. The Subaru's accompanying FIA World Rally Car Technical Passport reveals that it contested the 1999 Acropolis Rally and 2001 Swedish Rally but retired from both due to mechanical failure. Driven on the latter event by Tomas Hrdinka / Petr Gross under the Styllex Tuning Prosport banner, the Impreza subsequently carried the duo to a handful of victories and podium placings. Rallied extensively in Ireland from 2002 - 2007, Chassis 001 proved competitive into its final season. Initially road registered as 'P555 WRC' (and tested in Spain by McRae right after the Rallye Catalunya with that plate on) but better known by its long-term moniker 'P18 WRC', the car had been given a superficial cosmetic refurbishment prior to entering the current ownership. Drawn to 'first editions', the previous keeper not only had Prodrive validate Chassis 001 but also commissioned them to restore it to 'original' condition (becoming the Banbury outfit's first heritage customer in the process). The car was renovated using only original SRT parts, many of which would be even more difficult to source today. Overseen by Prodrive sales manager Steve Smith and documented in an accompanying hardback book, the resultant rejuvenation remains highly impressive and a real credit to David Richards and his team. Acid dipping revealed that Chassis 001 had endured a busy rally life but amazingly still retained its original Prodrive bodyshell, which was painstakingly repaired by the same team who had fabricated it in 1996! Kevin Locke rebuilt the flat-four with a new stock closed-block and internals, plus the difficult to find SRT exhaust manifolds, after which it was set-up to run on super unleaded via a revised engine management map and suitable dyno testing. Fellow Prodrive staffer Darren Pentley overhauled the complete transmission and then tested it on Prodrive's unique transmission dyno before sign-off. A suitable handover ceremony marked the project's completion on 18th December 2009. The inscription in Chassis 001's restoration book from that day simply reads: "best wishes and congratulations on acquiring a very special car - David" The vendor sums up 'P18 WRC' as follows: "It's a truly exhilarating car to drive with levels of grip and handling that would still embarrass many a modern supercar. Plus it runs on high octane pump fuel. It's doubtful that there will ever be another Subaru rally car from the same period restored like this one if only because the correct SRT parts are so difficult to locate. Pattern parts might be produced in time but Chassis 001 is the real thing" We can only echo his sentiments and invite you to buy an important part of motorsport history.

1964 Aston Martin DB5 - In single family ownership from 1964 - 2005 - Matching chassis and engine numbers, factory-fitted limited slip differential and heated rear screen - Extensively improved by renowned marque specialist Post Vintage Engineering - Refinished in its original livery of Sierra Blue with Fawn leather upholstery - Sympathetically upgraded with power assisted steering, air-conditioning and sat-nav Being an Aston Martin concessionaire in the early 1960s was no cake walk. As well as a marked reluctance to help its dealers with warranty claims, the cash-strapped manufacturer also pursued a decidedly evolutionary product strategy. Introduced in 1963, the DB5 may have boasted such niceties as an alternator, tinted glass, four exhaust silencers, electric windows and more efficient Girling disc brakes but sharing the exact same sheetmetal as the outgoing DB4 Series 5 Vantage must have caused certain customers to look askance at its £4,125 list price (a twenty percent increase). Although some of the extra expense was down to the newcomer featuring an enlarged 3995cc version of the marque's proven Tadek Marek-designed DOHC straight-six engine (up from 3670cc). Nevertheless, one can imagine the impact that the DB5's starring role in the 1964 James Bond film 'Goldfinger' had on saleroom traffic. Indeed, the svelte four-seater has been the stuff of dreams for boys of all ages ever since! With a quoted 282bhp and 288lbft of torque on tap, the super spy's preferred method of transport was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8 seconds and 148mph. If ordinary customers had to do without an ejector seat they did at least get the benefit of an improved five-speed ZF manual transmission (albeit the earliest models came with a more antiquated four-speed plus overdrive gearbox). Only in production from 1963-1965, a mere 898 DB5 fixed-heads were ever made. Today, survivors are justly regarded as some of the world's most desirable cars with the DVLA currently being able to account for 355 of them. According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, this particular example - chassis DB5/1614/R - was completed on 11th June 1964. Originally finished in Sierra Blue metallic with Fawn Connolly leather upholstery, its factory specification included a heated rear window, Powr-Lok limited slip differential, Dunlop RS5 tyres, triple SU HD8 carburettors and Select-a-ride shock absorbers. Road registered as 'AJW 646B', the Aston Martin was supplied new via Cyril Williams Motors Ltd to Philip Horton Esq. of William Sharp (Birmingham) Ltd. Remarkably, the DB5 remained part of Mr Horton's family until twelve years ago. Maintained by Andy Chapman of marque specialist Chapman Spooner for much of that time, the four-seater had been entered for Aston Martin Owners' Club concours events as early as 1966 and was refinished in its initial Sierra Blue livery not long before noted photographer David Campbell brought the Horton family's thirty-one-year-long custodianship to an end. Prior to his purchase in May 2005, Mr Campbell had the car thoroughly inspected by Colin Thew, Aston Martin's former factory service manager. The latter's extensive report deemed the DB5 to be in generally very good condition with regard to its bodywork and chromework save for some corrosion to the front passenger footwell. On Mr Thew's recommendation, Mr Campbell entrusted chassis DB5/1614/R to renowned marque specialist Post Vintage Engineering for various mechanical improvements including the fitment of a high capacity radiator core, stainless steel exhaust, replacement differential seal, new oil cooler and fresh gearbox mountings plus an unleaded fuel conversion for the original 'matching numbers' engine etc. The DB5's next keeper, Peter Mimpriss Esq., acquired it from Post Vintage Engineering during July / August 2009. A solicitor by profession who has owned some exceptional motorcars over the years, Mr Mimpriss made the sale conditional upon the four-seater being provided with (a) 'a guarantee to replace or repair at your expense any failure or malfunction of any component that may happen within twelve months of purchase' and (b) written assurances as to 'both the body and chassis being free of corrosion' and the car 'having suffered no accident damage'. He further stipulated that the engine should be overhauled 'to the highest standard' and the four-seater upgraded with air-conditioning and a Becker stereo / sat-nav system. The Managing Director of Post Vintage Engineering, Adrian Johnson Esq., sent a letter in reply stating: 'I am quite sure we will achieve a car that gives you many hours of pleasure and will be very reliable too'. The latter was no idle claim with Mr Mimpriss subsequently writing to Post Vintage Engineering on several occasions in praise of their craftsmanship and the car itself: 'We have just returned from the AMOC Tour of Spain. This was a great success for us due to the fact that the DB5 performed faultlessly for the entire 1,750 miles that we travelled in Spain . . . We have just returned from the NATO Tour of Northern England and Scotland. In the course of this we covered close to 2,000 miles and I am delighted to report that the DB5 performed faultlessly. I know that this is due to the wonderful way in which it has been looked after by Post Vintage and I would like to thank you, Trevor Hill and his other colleagues for their skill and dedication in maintaining the car in such excellent condition. We really appreciate everything that you have all done for us. It is a lovely car to drive and once again thank you for recommending it to me'. Mr Mimpriss's successor, Michael Wilson Esq., continued to have chassis DB5/1614/R serviced and improved by Post Vintage Engineering. As well as new glass all round, he had the Aston Martin treated to 'a retrim in Connolly VM3234 to original specification' and sundry re-chroming during April 2015 at a cost of £22,602.08. Last sent to the West Yorkshire-based marque specialist for servicing on March 23rd 2016 (some 600 miles ago), the Aston Martin started readily upon inspection and ran without complaint during our lengthy photography session. Uprated with power assisted steering by Aston Engineering Ltd in April 2014 at a cost of £3,616.29, the four-seater was an award winner at the following year's AMOC Spring Concours Woburn Abbey. A decidedly handsome, sympathetically enhanced, 'matching numbers' DB5 that due to its long-term single-family ownership has never been allowed to deteriorate to the point of needing extensive restoration, chassis DB5/1614/R passed its last MOT test on April 21st 2017 with no advisories. Offered for sale with history file, instruction book, original tool kit and jack. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)
1954 Jaguar XK120 SE Roadster PLEASE NOTE: An electrical fault has just occurred on this vehicle resulting in a suspected inoperative fuel pump and incorrectly wired ignition switch. The vendor has agreed to fund the reasonable cost of these repairs post sale.- An absolutely stunning XK120 SE Roadster that was manufactured in June 1954 and sold new in California, USA. - Purchased in August 2006 by the late collector Bill Jacobs of Illinois in a recently restored condition. Mr Jacobs passed away in 2010 and the car was sold in January 2011. - UK registered in May 2013 on behalf of its American owner and participated in the 2013 and 2014 Mille Miglia Retrospective events. Acquired by the vendor in England in 2015. It is true to say that the phenomenal success of the Jaguar XK120 was completely unexpected by Sir William Lyons and the team at Browns Lane, whose post-war focus was the MKVII Saloon. However, as the Saloon's chassis and XK engine neared completion in 1948, it occurred to Lyons that a sports car powered by the stunning new DOHC unit would probably outperform almost anything else in production at the time. The extraordinary decision was therefore made to design and build an XK-powered two-seater sports car in time for display at the Earls Court Motor Show of October 27 - an apparently impossible task in the six weeks available. The intention was, depending on public reaction, to hand-build a few hundred Roadsters as required. However, within a few days of the Bronze show car going on display, it was evident that a complete rethink was required - such was the euphoria with which the XK120 was greeted. In the end, production spanned five years and the car was manufactured in three different guises - Roadster, Fixed Head Coupe and Drophead Coupe; the combined production volumes of which were 12,055! In order to confirm the model's top speed potential to the press, the second XK120 built, chassis 670002, was driven flat out on the Jabbeke straight, Belgium, in May 1949, achieving 126.448mph over the flying mile with hood and side screens erected, and an astonishing 132.596 mph in stripped form. According to the accompanying copy of its FIVA Identity Card, the stunning left-hand drive sale car vacated Jaguar's Browns Lane production line in June 1954 bound for the USA. It was first registered in August of that year to an R Burneson of California. It then passed to Walter D Willett (Arizona) and was the subject of a body-off, chassis-up restoration before being acquired in 2006 by the multi-franchise car dealer and renowned classic car collector Bill Jacobs of Illinois. Jacobs passed away in 2010 and the still immaculate Jaguar was purchased by Albert Chin of New Jersey the following January, before being sold to Chris Au (also of New Jersey) later the same year. It was in 2013 that its then American owner had it UK registered and drove in that and the ensuing year's Mille Miglia retrospective. The vendor acquired '385 YUT' in September 2015. As an SE model XK120 it is correctly fitted with a factory-fitted plaque bearing the words 'It is certified that this Jaguar car is an exact replica of the record-breaking car which attained the speed of 132.6mph at Jabbeke Belgium, 30 May, 1949. William Haynes, Chief Engineer, Jaguar cars'. In standard form, an SE is endowed with 180bhp but it is understood that, when restored, '385 YUT' was equipped with a slightly later XK120 cylinder block topped by a C-Type cylinder head that would have raised the output to c.210bhp. The Identity Card makes mention of a 'partial cosmetic restoration' in 2011/2012 and it is unsurprising the vendor presently regards the bodywork, Dark Blue paintwork, Red Connolly hide interior trim, 3.4-litre XK engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'excellent' condition. The car comes complete with: Brooklands aeroscreen in place of the standard windscreen; evocative teardrop headrest, leather bonnet strap and pair of period Lucas spotlights; and rides on chromed wire wheels. Motorsport enthusiasts should note that, true to its mouth-watering looks, this charismatic cat has already completed two Mille Miglia retrospectives and is eligible for further such top quality historic events. Immaculate inside and out as well a peak performer, '385 YUT' is the epitome of the perfect road/race XK120 Roadster and represents an exciting opportunity for Jaguar enthusiasts everywhere.

1973 Ford Capri RS 3100 Evocation - Based on Dagenham built 1600 XL, UK car - 3.0 Essex with c.35,000 believed genuine recorded miles - Springalex steering wheel, AVO shocks, Mintex pads etc. Ford's Capri was launched at the 1969 Brussels Motor Show. The monocoque body featured independent front suspension by MacPherson strut and a live axle with leaf springs at the rear. Braking was by discs/drums and steering by rack and pinion. Initially available with the four-cylinder Kent unit in 1300cc and 1600cc forms and a 2000cc V4 Essex, by September the 136bhp, 3-litre V6 Essex unit had been added to the line-up. Slick four speed manual or three speed automatic gearboxes were optioned. In the early 1970s Ford enjoyed considerable success in the European Touring Car Championship, initially with the RS2600 and then, following BMW's introduction of the 3.0 CSL, with the RS3100. The RS3100's Cosworth developed overbored Essex 3.0 V6 along with other improvements ensured the car remained competitive. Original RS3100s are much coveted by collectors and it is no surprise a number of evocations have been produced over the years. The lovely example offered today left Dagenham as a 1600 XL and at some point in its life was turned into a convincing RS3100 'lookalike'. Powered by a 3.0 Essex V6 sourced from a Scimitar, the shell is said to be original and extremely solid, whilst the c.35,000 miles recorded, though unwarranted, are believed to be genuine. Originally finished in orange with a vinyl roof, this fast Ford exudes period charm even down to the Springalex steering wheel. Included in the history file are a Ford wallet containing two handbooks and a service book, assorted expired MoTs and numerous invoices including one from RSM Motorsport Ltd dated August 2016 (£1034.00) for AVO front and rear shocks, Mintex pads and an oil service. New Minilite wheels were fitted in November 2016. Turning heads wherever it goes, NHK 845M is offered with Swansea V5C and MoT to August 2017.

2000 Ferrari F355 Spider Introduced at the May 1994 Geneva Salon, the F355 was the standard bearer for a new generation of more technologically advanced 'small' Ferraris. Based around a robot-welded sheet steel monocoque equipped with all-round independent double-wishbone suspension, ventilated ABS disc brakes and utilised a new computer-controlled electronic damper system that self-adjusted depending upon the feedback gleaned from various road speed, brake pressure, suspension loading, and steering sensors. The F355 was revealed to be seven seconds and four seconds a lap faster round Ferrari's Fiorano test track than the 348 and 512TR respectively. Cradled by a separate subframe, its longitudinally mid-mounted 'quad-cam' 3496cc V8 boasted F1-style titanium con-rods, forged alloy pistons, three-inlet and two-exhaust valves per cylinder (40 in total) and the latest Bosch M 2.7 engine management system. Developing an incredible 380bhp and 268lbft of torque, it drove the rear wheels via a neatly integrated transverse six-speed manual gearbox. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds, 0-100mph in 10.6 seconds and 185mph, the F355 was an undoubted supercar. Unveiled at the May 1995 Monaco Grand Prix meeting, the F355 Spider benefited from a strengthened body-shell and specially reinforced windscreen, it permitted 'wind in the hair' 180mph motoring! Finished in the classic combination of Rosso Corsa with cream leather hide this example is one of just 139 righthand drive Spiders made with the F1 gearbox. Having covered just 28,050 miles from new and showing 4 previous keepers, the vendor informs us the car has only recently been taken out of long term storage. Re-commissioning works by a Ferrari specialist include: service and belt change, new clutch kit, new brake pads and discs, refurbished alloy wheels and new tyres, repaired manifolds together with engine bay detailing at a cost of c.£15,000. Offered with book pack and duplicate service book containing stamps from HR Owen of Leeds and a collection of invoices, its understood a fresh MOT will be obtained by the time of sale.

1961 Jaguar MK II 3.4 Litre - A matching numbers Manual Overdrive example with a recorded mileage of just 44,000, documented restoration 2001 to 2005 with a thorough engine and gearbox rejuvenation in 2012 / 2013 - Boasting a large history file with a comprehensive number of invoices, Production Record Certificate, detailed restoration notes and photographs, and an original hand book - Supplied with spare Coombes style rear wheel spats and the power steering components that the vendor removed to increase the steering feel The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Production Record Certificate states this MkII 3.4 Manual was manufactured in May 1961 and fitted with overdrive. It was sold new to Mr J Pitts of John Pitts and Sons Limited, Trews Weir Paper Mills, Exeter. A copy of an early V5 document shows it being owned by a Mr Anning of Honiton Clyst Garage, Exeter, and a 1983 MOT certificate (carried out by Honiton Clyst Garage) states the odometer reading as just 34,989 miles. Possibly soon afterwards the car was stored at a friend's farm until 2001, when the farmer apparently applied for a V5C in his name and promptly sold the car to a Mr and Mrs Lawrence of Worksop, Nottinghamshire. Mr Lawrence wrote a detailed account of his purchase and restoration of the car upon completion of the work in 2005, which was clearly done to a very high standard. New door skins and bottoms, inner and outer sills, and several new repair panels were fitted, plus new seat cushions were fitted below the preserved original leather on the reclining front seats, along with new carpets and a headlining. The interior woodwork was restored and a new wiring loom fitted, along with a conversion to alternator charging. The paint was superbly applied by Jaguar restoration specialist Alan Proctor of Worksop. The car changed ownership in 2007 and by September 2012 it had been acquired by the vendor. Just prior to the owners purchase the gearbox was overhauled at a cost of over £5,000 and the vendor has significantly improved the car further by having the engine (the original unit) and carburettors overhauled by Peter Chambers Automotive in 2013, at a cost of nearly £19,000. With just 44,000 miles recorded on the odometer, the vendor describes this beautiful MkII was being in "excellent" condition with regard to the body and paintwork, interior, and engine and transmission. The car is supplied with a comprehensive history file with a detailed typed account of the restoration, photographs of the car before and during the work, photographs of the engine overhaul, a spare set of Coombs style rear wheel arches, and the later power steering system that the vendor had removed to improve the steering feel.

1978 Porsche 911 SC This interesting righthand drive 911 SC has been the subject of a retro makeover by marque specialists Linstone Classics of Salisbury. Its original bonnet and wings have been replaced by earlier metal ones and the engine cover and bumpers by 2.7 RS-style fibreglass examples. The Porsche nowadays rides on 16 inch Fuchs 911 turbo wheels, while the interior benefits from period-type bucket seats and a Momo Prototipo steering wheel. The vendor acquired the car in 2012, since when it has been exclusively serviced and maintained by renowned specialist Tuthill Porsche of Wardington near Banbury. This has included the replacement of the camshaft, clutch, flywheel and front brake calipers, and discs and pads all round. Minor leaks have been cured courtesy of new gaskets and seals and the 915 manual gearbox has been improved by the addition of one of Tuthill's short-shift kits. The most recent service took place in November last year - some 500 miles ago, and `BOF 617T' is now displaying an entirely feasible but unwarranted 128,000 miles from new. The vendor presently classifies the modified bodywork, Silver paintwork, Black interior trim, 3.0-litre engine and five-speed manual gearbox as all being in `good' condition, and is offering the 911 complete with service book stamped from new through to 2002, and an MOT valid into November.

1934 Citroen Ten Rosalie - Entered from the Home Farm Collection - The subject of an older cosmetic and mechanical restoration - Citroen UK chassis plate, four-speed manual gearbox, Maroon leather upholstery Further Information: Dry stored as part of a private collection and so would benefit from a degree of recommissioning Introduced at the 1932 Paris Salon, the Citroen 8CV 'Rosalie' was marketed as the Citroen 'Ten' in Britain (a differentiation necessitated by the two countries conflicting ways of measuring 'horsepower'). A well-executed if somewhat conventional 'light car' design, the 'Ten' was based on a sturdy ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round quarter-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, four-wheel drum brakes and worm and roller steering. Reputed to develop 32bhp @ 3,200rpm, its 1452cc four-cylinder sidevalve powerplant drove the rear wheels via a three-speed manual gearbox (upgraded to four-speeds from 1934). Claiming a 90km/h top speed, it also boasted such niceties as flexible engine mounts, partial synchromesh and all-steel 'single piece' bodywork (available in a variety of open / closed guises). Superseded by the revolutionary 'Traction Avant', the model only remained in production until January 1935 by which time some 38,835 are thought to have been sold worldwide (though, survivors are comparatively few and far between).

1929 Rover 10/25 Weymann Saloon - Entered from the Home Farm Collection - Desirable 'Riviera' specification complete with full-length folding sunroof - The subject of much past restoration work and still highly presentable Further Information: Dry stored as part of a private collection and so would benefit from a degree of recommissioning. Introduced in late 1928, the Rover 10/25 was an evolution of the 9/20. Based around a sturdy ladder-frame chassis, it utilised all-round leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. Rated at 10hp for taxation purposes, but quoted as developing some 25bhp, the newcomer's 1185cc OHV four-cylinder engine was allied to three-speed manual transmission. In order to minimise weight and maximise performance, Rover made the 10/25 available with a range of Weymann fabric-covered bodies, and priced at £250 the so-called Riviera Saloon came with a full-length sunroof. A full four/five-seater, it was capable of a 55mph top speed. Progressively refined, the 10/25 made the switch from magneto to coil ignition during 1929, with Rubery Owen wire wheels becoming an option the same year. Surprisingly few of the 15,000 10/25s sold between by 1933 have survived to this day. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)
1937 Rolls-Royce 25/30 Saloon - Finished in silver matched to a red leather interior with Park Ward limousine coach work - Supplied new to a Mr Ralph Clifford Lynn esq, a comedy actor from Manchester - Previously UK registered as 'DLT 428' and offered with a copy of its US title plus chassis card records Further info: Maintaining its policy of offering one 'Large' and one 'Small' model (the terms being purely relative!), Rolls-Royce introduced the 20/25 in 1929 as a successor to the outgoing 20 hp. Though the newcomer was intended to appeal to owner drivers, many examples were in fact sold to customers with chauffeurs. Power came from an enlarged version of the straight-six unit used in the 20 hp. Now of 3699cc, it made for swifter acceleration and a higher top speed - up to 75mph, depending on the chosen body. The four speed manual gearbox featured the manufacturer's traditional right-hand change and was equipped with synchromesh on the top two ratios from 1932 onwards. The substantial chassis sported rigid axles front and rear suspended on semi-elliptic leaf springs. The four-wheeled braking was mechanically servo assisted. In 1936, the company opted to increase performance once more, further enlarging the engine to 4257cc to create the so-called 25/30, of which 1201 examples were made before the model was superseded by the Wraith in 1938. Like most Rolls-Royces, the 25/30 starred on the silver screen, most notably in 'The Naked Truth' and 'Death on the Nile'. This charming 25/30 is finished in silver matched to a red leather interior and features Park Ward limousine coach work to body number 4225. Supplied new to a Mr Ralph Clifford Lynn esq. who was a comedy actor from Manchester best remembered for playing comedy parts in the Aldwych farces, first on stage and then in film. Featuring a central division and fold out picnic tables, 'GGN 27' had resided in the USA for a long period before recently retuning to the UK. Having previously been UK registered as 'DLT 428' the Rolls Royce is offered with a copy of the US title, chassis card records, bill of sale and offers the opportunity to acquire an attractive Rolls Royce with an interesting history. PLEASE NOTE: This lot is not offered with the flying lady mascot as pictured however does include a town cap. PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT (@ 20%)
