Registration No: YCD 244 Chassis No: 0420680BS MOT: ExemptA well-known and well regarded Kougar Jaguar built for fast road, sprints and hillclimbsBuild No.42 with special bodywork including handmade aluminium nose cone and bonnet, and polished cycle wings, evoking the golden age of the 1950s ‘rocket’ racersPreviously owned by Simon Taylor, former head of Haymarket and Editor for Classic and Sports Car magazineImpressive specification including 3.8-litre Jaguar engine with triple Dellorto carburettorsIn the late 1970s, and Englishman named Rick Stevens set out to build a car of his own based on the legendary British sports cars of the early post-war era, such as Frazer Nash, Allard and H.R.G. These were, after all, the cars of his childhood but they were scarce, sometimes fragile, and likely more than he could afford. So, he decided to build his own version of the classic road-racer but using more modern components. Stevens paired up with the legendary engineers Dick Crosthwaite and John Gardiner (of the now iconic firm Crosthwaite & Gardiner) to design and build his dream sports car. The 1970s was the age of the kit car, with any variety of cheap fiberglass likeness being built to sit atop a VW or some other similarly ubiquitous chassis, usually with extremely dubious results. There were dozens of manufacturers in the game offering conversions and full bodies to build any type of machine imaginable.Thankfully, Mr. Stevens opted to take a more traditional, British cottage-industry approach. With the help of his engineering consultants, he designed a tubular chassis which accepted the four-wheel independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and running gear from Jaguars. The Kougar, as it would become known, was immediately set apart from the sea of cheap kits thanks to its high-quality construction and sophisticated Jaguar running gear. In terms of styling, the body, cycle arches and distinctive radiator grille were inspired by the Frazer Nash LeMans Replica of 1950, but given a more curvaceous look on the low-slung chassis. The Kougar had a cut-down cockpit with minimal weather protection and a business-like dash that featured a full array of Jaguar instrumentation. While some cars were offered in kit form, most were constructed at the works as this car was designed from the ground up for serial production and finished to a high standard. Today, they are classics in their own right, and a handful of lucky enthusiasts have been able to experience the thrill the Kougar Jaguar Sports can deliver.Kougar build Number 42, is a well-known example that was built professionally for fast road sprints, and hillclimbs, and first registered in January 1982. Constructed by renowned special builder Robin Beech, he modified the design to feature a handmade aluminium nose cone and bonnet. Also featuring a Jaguar grille and polished cycle wings, it evokes the golden age 1950s ‘rocket’ racers. Mechanically re-engineering the suspension with larger front wishbones, rose joints, and a widened rear track, ‘YCD 244’ utilises a 3.8-litre Jaguar engine with triple Dellorto carburettors, Lynx Engineering alloy inlet manifold and cold air box, allied to a five-speed Getrag manual transmission and Jaguar rear axle with LSD. Adjustable Spax suspension provides the dampening to the wire wheels with Avon tyres. An MSA-Certified roll-bar, bespoke side-exit circuit exhaust, and fire extinguisher are all fitted for competition use.The cabin features Black quilted seats with Red carpets and currently has 'comfort' road seatbelts, but four-point harnesses are included for competition. Period instruments and a wire-spoked Bluemels Brooklands steering wheel complete the interior, along with Brooklands aero screens. Robin Beech competed in the Kougar widely including on Brighton Speed Trials, before ‘YCD 244’ was sold in 1988 to eminent motoring author, publisher, and commentator Simon Taylor, former head of Haymarket and Editor for Classic and Sportscar Magazine. Regularly featuring in the magazine, he was enthusiastic about the Kougar and retained it for thirteen years. Two subsequent owners of over ten years ensued with the Kougar extensively campaigning in the JDC 'Four Hills and Sprint Championship' at circuits such Harewood, Shelsley, Anglesey, and Prescott. This exceptional Kougar started readily and ran well during our recent photography session and is ready to be enjoyed again, be that on the road or circuit. Supplied with a full tonneau cover, a driver-only chrome roll-hoop, headrest for the MSA roll-bar, and wraparound windscreen, the Kougar also has a history file that includes V5C.

Registration No: YSU 288 Chassis No: T838180DN MOT: Exempt1 of just 104 XK150 S 3.4 litre Drophead Coupes made (in both LHD and RHD)Supplied new to E. Schiller Esq of Illinois and later resident in Germany for many years before being repatriated in 1988Treated to a bare metal renovation and conversion to RHD by The Vehicle Restoration Co and subsequently improved by renowned XK specialist, Twyford Moors (engine overhaul / conversion to unleaded, interior re-trimmed etc)Purchased by the vendor from JD Classics in 2011 for £99,000 and subject to some £27,000 worth of fettling / maintenance sinceThe final iteration of the XK sportscar line, the XK150 was introduced in May 1957. While its use of independent torsion-bar front suspension, a 'live' leaf-sprung rear axle and rack-and-pinion steering mirrored the practice of its XK140 predecessor, the new model benefited from the option of all-round Dunlop disc brakes (though, in practice very few – if any - cars were delivered with drum brakes). Stylistically, the newcomer was brought up-to-date with less ostentatious curves and a larger, wrap-around single piece windscreen. With the E-type still very much under development, Jaguar was keen to sustain the sporting reputation that a remarkable five Le Mans victories (1951, 1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957) had earned it. Initially powered by a 3442cc derivative of the marque's race-proven DOHC straight-six engine, the XK150 could be specified with an enlarged 3781cc unit from late 1959 onwards. Available in Standard, Special Equipment or 'S' tune, the latter high-performance package comprised a Harry Weslake-modified cylinder head, more aggressive camshaft profiling, high compression pistons and triple SU carburettors. Like its lesser siblings, the XK150 ‘S’ could be had in Fixed-Head Coupe, Open Two-Seater (Roadster) or Drophead Coupe guises. With a claimed 250hp on tap, the 'S' 3.4 Litre cars were reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.4 seconds and 132mph. Among the rarest of all XK variants, total (LHD and RHD) XK150 ‘S’ 3.4 Drophead Coupe production is thought to have amounted to just 104 cars. Unsurprisingly, survivors are highly prized by collectors. According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis T838180DN was completed on 5th March 1959 and supplied new to E. Schiller of Oak Park, Illinois. Initially finished in Carmen Red, the XK150 S is understood to have migrated to Germany (possibly in the hands of a US serviceman) not long afterwards. Repatriated during 1988 by Peter Cutler, the 2+2-seater was then entrusted to The Vehicle Restoration Co of West Sussex for a bare metal repaint, conversion to right-hand drive and sundry other works. Sold to Shell Oil executive Alan Hunt by Twyford Moors in 1998, he commissioned the renowned XK specialist to retrim the interior, install an alternator, uprate the cooling system (re-cored radiator, Kenlowe fan, alloy expansion tank), plumb-in a facet fuel pump and regulator plus fit new 6 x 15 chrome wire wheels and tyres. Mr Hunt subsequently had them thoroughly overhaul the original engine (including conversion to unleaded) and improve the hood. Humphrey Bunyan of The Classic Car Workshop refurbished the front suspension and further upgraded the Drophead Coupe with a Getrag five-speed manual gearbox, replacement fuel tank and SPAX shock absorbers all round. Registered to Alexander Krahe of Twyford Moors thereafter, ‘YSU 288’ entered the current ownership via JD Classics for £99,140 in December 2011 at which time it was said to have covered just 9,000 post-restoration miles. Enjoyed by the vendor for numerous trips around the UK and into Europe, he has employed the services of Paul Roach Jaguar Ltd to maintain and fettle the XK150 S spending close to £27,000 over the past thirteen years. As well as servicing the 2+2-seater, the Acton, nr Sudbury based firm has rewired it, installed electric power steering, re-bushed the suspension, replaced the rear springs, overhauled the engine’s bottom end and renewed various back axle seals. Old MOT certificates on file suggest that the Drophead Coupe has covered some 22,000 miles since returning to the UK. Starting readily upon inspection and proving a doddle to manoeuvre with its power steering and five-speed gearbox, the Jaguar now presents as an older restoration. The paintwork has aged in places and the brightwork is imperfect. However, the seller admits he bought ‘YSU 288’ to drive rather than polish. Able to boast matching chassis, engine and body numbers, this genuine XK150 S 3.4 litre Drophead Coupe is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file. A tempting proposition indeed. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737

Registration No: FBH 30G Chassis No: 1J52239DN MOT: ExemptPresented in the colour scheme of British Racing Green over its original Black Ambla interiorStraight port cylinder head, four-speed all synchromesh gearbox with overdriveAn ideal Jaguar for a running cosmetic project, as it is described by the vendor as in 'very good' mechanical orderThe last evolution of the MkII line, the revised 240 and 340 models were introduced for the 1968 model year. Visually distinguished by their new slimline front and rear bumpers, they also benefited from sundry hidden changes such as the adoption of the E-type's straight port cylinder head design. Fitted with twin SU carburettors, the 340 model's 3442cc DOHC straight-six was quoted as developing some 210bhp and 215lbft of torque. Reputedly capable of 120mph in manual guise, the 'compact' Jaguar also boasted four-wheel disc brakes (a defining feature of the entire MkII range from 1959 onwards). Short-lived, just 2,265 right-hand drive specification 340s are thought to have been made.First registered on the 3rd October 1968, ‘FBH 30G’ was supplied with a manual overdrive transmission and is an example of one of the very last 3.4 Litre models built. The documentation has been lost to time, however, the V5C records three former keepers. Subject to a 'Category N' insurance write-off in August 2023, due to what is described as a ‘very mild bump’, it was purchased by the current keeper in October 2023. The 340 has formed part of the vendor's private collection of Jaguars since and has benefitted from some mild works to repair the damage and ensure its good running for use during the classic car show season this year.The vendor describes the 340 as being ‘a good, running and entry-level MkII', however, although the body is solid, the paintwork would benefit from some tidying. Inside, the 340’s original Black Ambla interior ‘presents well’ and could be lifted with some re-lacquering. Mechanically, a good starter, the vendor enthused about its ‘very good mechanical shape’. Now offered for sale due to the seller looking to thin his collection due to space becoming an issue, this 340 would be the ideal classic Jaguar for anyone who wants a solid basis to improve but is happy to spend their weekends improving the car’s cosmetic condition, or use it 'as is', regardless of its appearance!

Registration No: UUH 760 Chassis No: TS70304 MOT: September 2025Desirable UK-supplied, home market exampleFinished in Red, with Black upholstery Fitted with a variety of subtle upgrades and enhancementsMaintained regardless of cost, with lots of supporting documentationIntroduced in October 1955, the TR3 was indeed a little different from the preceding TR2. Changes to the Standard Vanguard-derived 2-litre engine boosted power from 90 to 95bhp, but the most obvious difference was the adoption of an ‘egg box’ radiator grille. The engine developed 100bhp courtesy of a new cylinder head by mid-1956; then in August, Girling front disc brakes and the stronger Phase III Vanguard rear axle were standardised. Cosmetically revised, but mechanically indistinguishable, the TR3A was phased-in during 1957. New front-end styling featured a full-width grille incorporating sidelights/indicators, and for the first time there were locking door and boot handles plus an improved interior.Chassis number TS70304 is a home-market, right-hand-drive example and was registered new in the United Kingdom on the 1st April 1960. Finished in striking Red with contrasting Black interior upholstery (and cream piping); the TR3A is powered by a 1991cc straight-four engine allied to four-speed manual transmission with desirable A-type overdrive. Riding on wire wheels, the vendor describes ‘UUH 760’’ as “running and driving like an absolute dream”. Cherished by only 2 owners since 1998, the body and chassis are described as being in “super condition”, as is the trim, paint and chromework. He was keen to confirm that “everything works very well and as it should”. The car benefits from a number of desirable, yet subtle upgrades including a tubular exhaust manifold and sports exhaust, aluminium radiator, electric cooling fan, uprated water pump, new coolant hoses, new rear shock absorbers and a new front bumper. 'UUH 760' was recently serviced, including a coolant flush - The subject of a transmission overhaul in 2008, this side-screen TR has been maintained regardless of cost and is supported by a healthy file of invoices. Although exempt, it has recently undergone an MOT test running to September 2025, and had no advisories. Offered with full weather gear and a comprehensive paperwork file, this TR3A offers champagne open-top motoring, for lemonade money!

Registration No: TTW 865N Chassis No: GAECPU01693 MOT: August 2025Bespoke conversion by BSCC champion, engineer and entrepeneur Jeff UrenBelieved the only MkII Capri-based Stampede of 8 builtIncorporating a Ford Boss 302 ‘G Code’ engine with a close ratio Toploader transmissionPaintwork created by Mechspray of Kent, known for movie-car and custom paintA British Saloon Car champion and engineer, Jeff Uren, is probably more well-known for his bespoke conversions of Fords in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s by his company Race Proved Performance and Equipment Ltd. Originally built in June 1974 as a 3 Litre Ghia Automatic for the Ford Motor Co management fleet, after a year 'TTW' was sent for the 3-month conversion in the summer of 1975 and destined for a Mr Stamos Fafalios. Believed to be the only MkII Capri-based Stampede, post-conversion, Mr Fafalios sent 'TTW' to receive the ‘Frosted Grape Pearl’ custom paintwork from Mechspary, known for their efforts on movie cars and film props. It was the subject of a refresh by them c.2013. The car’s impact saw it featured in the full-colour centrefold of Hot Car magazine in 1977 and was road-tested by Classic and Sports Car in 2014. Mr Fafalios kept the car until 2013, by which time the Stampede displayed c. 21,500 miles. Incorporating a Ford Boss 302 (5.0 Litre) ‘G Code’ homologation engine designed for Trans Am racing, it’s married to a Toploader close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission - renowned for high-performance strength and durability - and an Atlas rear axle, appropriately uprated suspension and period F1-style Lockheed 4-pot caliper brakes, with a final set-up by Uren and his friend ex F1 driver John Miles.Recently benefitting from an engine overhaul using Peter Knight Racing internals, the engine is said to be capable of 8,000rpm, although currently set-up with a 7,000rpm limit! The original engine parts are included in the sale. An extensive paperwork file supports the provenance and accompanied by an original handbook, service book and press articles. The Stampede is a unique combination of American muscle and European automotive design and is very much a European Mustang and a performance car that is still very tractable. Expected to be driven to the sale, this is a great opportunity to acquire a very interesting fast Ford! For more information, please contact: Stewart Parker info@handh.co.uk 07836 346875

Registration No: BTB 329A Chassis No: 8617 MOT: ExemptOne of just c.60 MkIII examples producedTwo private keepers from newInterestingly used by the first private keeper as a tow-car for a race specification GranturaLast on the road in 1985 and believed genuine mileage of just 52,875 milesUtilises the B-Series 1798cc engine which has received an overhaul but is not yet runningPotentially Classic Le Mans eligibleThe first production model TVR in a long line of TVR cars, the Grantura debuted in 1958 and went through a series of developments leading to the MkI to MkIV and 1800S models, with production ceasing in September 1967. Hand-built at the TVR factory in Blackpool with varying mechanical specifications, the Grantura was also offered in ‘kit form’. All cars featured a cocktail of Austin-Healey brakes, VW Beetle or Triumph suspension parts and BMC rear axles. The Grantura bodyshell was made from glass-reinforced plastic and made use of a variety of proprietary components, with a front-hinged bonnet. There was no opening at the rear but the boot could be accessed from inside the car (although the spare wheel had to be removed through the front doors). Buyers could choose from a range of powerplants which, depending on the model in question, included a choice of side or overhead valve engines from Ford, a Coventry Climax unit, the engine from the MGA and, ultimately, the 1798cc BMC B-series engine.Manufactured in 1963, this MkIII Grantura was registered new to a Mill Hill, North London small car dealership in December that year. Fitted with the 1798cc straight-four BMC B-Series engine with four-speed manual transmission, the TVR is finished in White with Black interior upholstery. One of just c.60 MkIII examples, it was retained by the dealership until July 1967 when it was purchased by the first private keeper. Driven competitively on a few occasions at Lydden Hill race circuit in 1967 and 1968, a second MkIII Grantura, this time a lightweight race car, was purchased and ‘BTB 329A’ became the tow vehicle from 1970 through to 1976.Following the purchase of a Jaguar for towing in 1976, the TVR was fitted with a Tuscan V6 rear end, side vents, and alloy wheels during the mid-1970s. Taken off the road in 1985, chassis and mechanical restoration have taken the TVR to its current condition. ‘BTB 329A’ was purchased by the vendor (although never registered to him) in 2014. The engine had received an overhaul, however, it will require further recommissioning prior to use. With a credible recorded mileage of 52,875, the TVR is offered with some photographic records, an MOT certificate from 1984 (at 50,579 miles) and a V5C. A worthy and rare Grantura project with low ownership and an interesting history. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452

Registration No: FFL 6 Chassis No: DB6/3280/R MOT: May 2025Entered from The Merlin CollectionThe subject of an exhaustive 2,500 hour restoration by marque specialist Richards of England which is photographically documented in an accompanying hardback bookA desirable 'home market' example boasting matching chassis and engine numbersUprated to 4.2 litre 'Vantage' specification and fitted with a Harvey Bailey handling kit as part of the renovationRefinished in its original and iconic Platinum Silver hueThoroughly debugged over 900 post-refurbishment milesIntroduced at the 1965 London Motor Show, the Aston Martin DB6 shared the same iconic visage as its DB5 predecessor but benefited from a more commodious interior and better high-speed stability. Still clothed in aluminium over a steel substructure, the newcomer was barely any heavier despite incorporating a 3.75-inch longer wheelbase. Powered by the famous Tadek Merak designed 3995cc DOHC straight-six engine in either standard (282bhp) or ‘Vantage’ (325bhp) tune, the two-door fixed head could be had with ZF five-speed manual or Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission. A true four-seater, the DB6 attracted a select clientele including King Charles III (then the Prince of Wales), Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney. Expensive and exclusive in equal measure, just 1,327 DB6 MK1 saloons were made. According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, this particular example – chassis DB6/3280/R – was completed on 24th November 1967. Finished in the classic, James Bond-esque combination of Platinum Silver with Black leather upholstery, the Aston Martin was despatched to Callanders Garages Ltd of Glasgow some six days later. Although, copy records on file show that it made frequent return trips to Newport Pagnell for servicing up until the mid-1970s (at an indicated 61,992 miles). Repainted White at some stage, the DB6 spent several decades in Japan before being repatriated during 2016. Complete but somewhat dilapidated, the four-seater was subsequently entrusted to marque specialist Richards of England for a 2,500-hour, body off restoration. The work took place between 2018 and 2020 and resulted in what the Lincolnshire-based company described as ‘a car of unparalleled quality’ (indeed, chassis DB6/3280/R is still proudly featured on their website). Much of the refurbishment was carried out inhouse but Richards of England turned to acknowledged experts Bodylines for two new aluminium door skins and a replacement nose section (the latter hand formed using a wooden buck). Craig Taylor Engineering of Bourne were responsible for not only overhauling the original engine (number 400/3360) and uprating it to 4.2-litre ‘Vantage’ specification complete with revised camshaft profiles and triple Weber carburettors but also rejuvenating the limited slip differential equipped back axle. A Harvey Bailey handling kit was installed along with telescopic rear shock absorbers and a Tremec five-speed manual gearbox. Remembering various Aston Martins that his father and elder brother had owned, the vendor was drawn to chassis DB6/3280/R because of the photographically chronicled depth of its renovation. Taking delivery in November 2020, he set about a thorough shakedown as well as devising a programme of alterations for the DB6. Conscious that freshly restored cars typically require ‘debugging’ he went through the car stem to stern and decided to swap the modern Tremec five-speed gearbox for a correct-type, period ZF 5-speed unit and reinstate the ‘Selectaride’ rear shock absorbers (he has left the mounting brackets for the telescopics should a future custodian wish to utilise them). Marque specialist Aston Workshop supplied all the parts necessary for the transmission conversion as well a tool roll. Having covered just under 900 post-restoration miles, ‘FFL 6’ is now thoroughly well sorted and ‘on the button’. Cosmetically, it remains highly impressive with the lustrous Platinum Silver paintwork contrasting beautifully with the Red Connolly leather upholstery and gleaming brightwork. Given that the guide price could quite easily be exceeded by the cost of a similar marque specialist renovation, ‘FFL 6’ is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, Heritage Certificate, history file, Lake & Elliot ‘Millenium’ jack and leatherbound book.

Registration No: RJA 400N Chassis No: 1S2652 MOT: August 20251 of just 1,872 RHD examples made and fitted with the more desirable four-speed manual gearboxBenefitting from a full repaint to a very high standard in 2020Maintained and significantly improved regardless of cost by Jaguar specialists P & K Thornton Restoration 2006-2022Matching chassis and engine numbers, and presented in its original colour combinationBy 1971, Jaguar's jaw-dropping E-Type had been in production for a decade. Despite continual improvements, new emissions legislation in the all-important American market threatened to strangle the 'big cat's' performance. Jaguar responded by giving its revered sportscar fresh claws in the shape of a 5343cc V12 developed from the stillborn XJ13 Le Mans project car. The new engine was both effortlessly powerful and eerily refined. "The turbine-like smoothness with which the engine provides a sustained shove in the back is almost uncanny, the more so when one accelerates hard in top gear." (Autocar 5th July 1973). With some 272bhp and 304lbft of torque on tap, the Series III E-Type once again had 150mph in its sights. A revised wheelbase yielded better cabin space, and in conjunction with wider front/rear tracks, new anti-dive front suspension geometry and fatter tyres gave improved road holding. Imbued with a more muscular stance thanks to its flared wheel arches, re-profiled wings and larger grille, the model also boasted vented disc brakes and a restyled interior.Chassis 1S2652 was despatched new on the 29th March 1974 to the supplying dealer, Henlys of Manchester. A desirable manual gearbox example and finished from the factory in Signal Red paintwork with Biscuit leather interior upholstery and a Black hood, pleasingly this is the colour combination it still presents in today. Purchased into previous ownership in 2006, the then owner maintained the E-Type regardless of cost, entrusting the maintenance and improvements almost exclusively to well-renowned specialists P & K Thornton Restoration with the total expenditure during his ownership (2006-2022) reaching almost £61,000. Notable works during this time include a comprehensive mechanical check, refresh and service in 2021-22 costing c.£10,000; full repainting in the original colour scheme in 2020; suspension refresh in 2019; and interior re-trim during 2009, amongst much more!Offered now having covered just 68,000 miles with MOTs back to the 1990s corroborating the mileage, the E-Type is offered with a substantial history file comprising numerous invoices from the previous ownership, Jaguar Heritage Trust Heritage Certificate, a large collection of previous MOTs, a current no advisory MOT until August 2025, and a V5C document showing just five former keepers. Boasting matching chassis and engine numbers, this notably well-presented V12 Roadster started readily, and both ran and drove excellently during the recent photography session. Completed many a successful long-distance trip during the vendor's ownership, the E-Type is due to be driven to the sale, and has much to recommend it.

Registration No: F452 NCF Chassis No: YV1244847J1331711 MOT: May 2025Displaying 92,600 miles from newIn single-family ownership from new for 36 yearsOffered with the original book pack, service book and a collection of invoicesTime-warp car, 'very well' cared for and always garagedThe Volvo 200 Series (240 and 260) were mid-size luxury cars produced by Volvo Cars from 1974 until 1993, with more than 2.8 million total units sold worldwide. Designed by Jan Wilsgaard, the 200 Series offered MacPherson strut-type front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering. As the 240 Series remained popular, Volvo marketed the 700 alongside the 240 for another decade. For 1980, the sporty GLT - Grand Luxe Touring - arrived, utilising Volvo’s B23 petrol engine in the saloon. Despite its non-sporting image, the Volvo 240 was a successful competitor in motorsport in the 1980s, winning the Zolder round of the European Touring Car Championship in 1986.The vendor recalls accompanying his late father, a loyal owner of Volvo cars over the years, to Lex Brooklands Volvo of Reading, as he wanted to trade in his 1985 Volvo GL Estate for the new 240 GLT saloon. This example was already in the showroom and being a busy businessman of the day, he had no time to order one, he loved the showroom car anyhow and did the deal on the spot, being first registered on the 22nd September 1988. Our vendor vividly remembers family holidays and trips to Wales and has fond memories of the car, however, now with his own collection to look after, he would like to see this cherished one-family-owned GLT go to someone who will appreciate its history of being cared for.The service history of 11 entries includes 5 with the supplying LEX Brooklands Volvo. With an interior and exterior described as being in ‘excellent condition’ with heated leather seats and rubber Volvo over-mats, our vendor added ‘everything works and the air conditioning etc is all excellent and for sunny days there’s a manual sunroof’. Recently recommissioned in 2022 and benefitting from a service, the wheels have also been refurbished, calipers painted and the bodywork machine polished. The 240 GLT is offered with a collection of maintenance bills, owner’s handbook, Haynes manuals, a few spares and the V5C Registration Document. A lovely example of the marque.

Registration No: G108 WKM Chassis No: 1GBKP37N3L3319214 MOT: T.B.ASubject to a c.£120,000 overhaul after importExtremely well appointed and upgraded with many modern featuresUK registered and to be supplied with a fresh MOT certificateAirstream has been viewed as the premium constructor of American 'trailers' and motorhomes since Wally Byam started manufacturing his unique Silver Bullet caravans in 1932. Their space-age designs and aerodynamic forms have defined the travel industry. After the moon-landing, the Apollo 11 astronauts were quarantined in an Airstream Mobile Quarantine Facility and a 1983 Airstream Excella, named the 'Astrovan', of a similar design to the 350LE offered, was used to shuttle the astronauts to the pad at Kennedy Space Center between 1983 and 2011. Airstream started manufacturing Class A motorhomes in 1974, utilising their iconic aerodynamic and strong construction method for the fuselage.This 1990 350LE version is built on a high-speed Chevrolet coach chassis and is one of the last of their classic aircraft-style semi-monocoque aluminium frame and skin designs. Imported by the vendor in 2012, the Airstream was subject to a full overhaul by LAS Motorhomes of Northampton, at a cost of c.£120,000. The vendor has advised that the aluminium fuselage has been painstakingly stripped and re-lacquered to a very high standard and that the interior features its original hardwood furniture and fittings, with the internal structure relined in 'ostrich skin'. The vendor also states that the soft furnishings and seats have been re-upholstered in leather by Oxted Trimming, who specialise in aircraft and helicopter interiors. Under the skin, work has included a new wooden underfloor, rewiring for 240v, chassis under sealing, re-plumbing, refurbishment of the running gear including new front adjustable airbags, brakes and a new overdrive unit mated to the automatic gearbox. This low mileage motorhome has clocked up only c.69,153 miles and is described by the vendor as being in ‘very good condition’ having been regularly maintained by LAS Motorhomes. The vendor has advised that it will be put through a fresh MOT in preparation for sale and will be supplied with the original owner’s manual, wiring diagrams and Chevy P30 chassis maintenance manual.

Registration No: 208 UXF Chassis No: B332FV MOT: April 2025The subject of an extensive and high quality past restorationA 'cut above' the majority of surviving MkVI Saloons and worthy of close inspectionNotably good body, paint and chromework plus much of its original interiorPrevious engine overhaul by a leading RR&B Specialist Association MemberIntroduced in 1946, the MKVI was Bentley's first post-war model. Built around a massive cruciform-braced chassis equipped with independent front suspension and a leaf-sprung rear axle, its freshly developed 4257cc OISE straight-six engine was mated to four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph when clad in the factory's understated but stylish 'standard steel saloon' coachwork, the MKVI developed a reputation for being a refined yet responsive drive. No ordinary MKVI, chassis B332FV was for many years the property of a classic car restorer who specialised in post-WW2 Bentleys. Refurbished to award winning condition as a calling card for his business and proudly exhibited at the 2016 Bentley Drivers’ Club’s Concours d’Elegance, the four-seater remains extremely presentable. The front seats have been partially retrimmed and seatbelts added but the rest of the interior appears pleasingly original with leather bound carpets and the correct matt finish to the wood veneers etc. Indeed, the seller considers ‘208 UXF’ to represent ‘originality at its finest’. Starting readily and running well during our visit having had a major engine overhaul circa fifteen years ago, the MKVI has been enjoyed for a variety of journeys this year including a 200-mile plus round trip to Silverstone. The sunroof is operational and most of the original tools present. Proudly featured on the restorer’s website and Facebook page, there is even a video of the Bentley in motion on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8uyN9SKg8U). Built in 1949 but not registered until January 1950 when it was bought new by a Kings Lynn-based solicitor, the Sports Saloon subsequently belonged to Major-General Sir Allan Henry Shafto Adair, 6th Baronet, GCVO, CB, DSO, MC & Bar, JP, DL; a hero of both World Wars. Off the road for a time, the four-seater was re-registered with the DVLA during 1979 sporting the number plate ‘GVF 1’ for several decades. Treated to a renovation which would far, far exceed the guide price if carried out today, ‘208 UXF’ is worthy of close inspection.

Registration No: F457 CJK Chassis No: WDB1070412A091608 MOT: May 2025Just 70,500 miles from newBenefitting from over £1,200 worth of servicing and improvement with specialists Hilton and Moss under 500 miles agoA notably nice example throughout with recently refurbished hard-top roofSupplied with a history file including documented service historyThe ultimate six-cylinder derivative of Mercedes-Benz's renowned R107-series, the 300SL was introduced at the September 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show. Equipped with Bosch KE-Jetronic fuel-injection, its in-line SOHC M103 2962cc engine developed some 177bhp and 188lb-ft of torque (outputs sufficient for a reputed 125mph top speed). Sharing the same two-door monocoque bodyshell, all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and power-assisted steering as its V8 brethren, it proved notably more fuel efficient. Fitted with four-speed automatic transmission as standard, it further benefited from improved anti-corrosion treatment and ABS brakes. Only in production between 1985 and 1989, just 13,443 300SLs are thought to have been despatched worldwide.Supplied new by Mercedes-Benz agents Esplanade Ltd of the Isle of Wight on the 12th August 1988, the 300 SL was first in the ownership of a hotelier on the island. Finished from new in Arctic White with Blue cloth interior upholstery and a Dark Blue hood, the R107 is also accompanied by a body-coloured hardtop which has been recently refurbished and was specified from the factory with options of additional front spotlights, paintwork preservation, and electric rear window. A modest mileage example having covered just 70,500 miles from new, ‘F457 CJK’ is entered now from a private collection. Starting readily upon inspection and running well during our recent photography session, the R107 rides on the correct type alloy wheels. Offered for sale with a history file that contains the original owner’s manual and stamped service book, there are further invoices for servicing and improvement, being most recently serviced by Hilton and Moss some 500 miles ago to the cost of c.£1,200. Also included in the paperwork file are numerous MOT certificates and a current V5C document. Benefitting from areas of bodywork restoration earlier this year, ‘F457 CJK’ is a notably nice example of arguably the most desirable engine variant of the R107s.

Registration No: D985 FKV Chassis No: WF0CXXGAECGA91687 MOT: None1 of 15 2.8 Injection models sold as 'Tickford Capris' but were never converted as part of Turbo productionRetrofitted with many original Tickford Turbo fittings by a previous ownerThe subject of a recent article by the Tickford Owner's ClubArguably the brainchild of ex-Lotus F1 driver and Autocar journalist John Miles, the Ford Capri Tickford Turbo was unveiled in prototype guise at the 1982 Birmingham Motor Show. Developed by Aston Martin Tickford Ltd (the famous Newport Pagnell manufacturer's special projects wing), the newcomer was based on a standard MkIII Capri 2.8 Injection. Visually distinguished by the lift-reducing GRP mouldings that Simon Saunders (latterly of Ariel Atom fame) devised for its nose, flanks and tail, the fixed-head was credited with a 0.37 drag coefficient. Reworked via the addition of an IHI turbocharger and Garrett intercooler, its 2792cc Cologne V6 drove the rear wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox.Upgraded with four-wheel disc brakes, the muscular 2+2 Coupe also benefited from power-assisted rack and pinion steering and A-frame reinforced rear suspension (while early cars boasted a limited slip differential). Credited with 205bhp and 260lbft of torque, the high-performance model was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.0 seconds and 139.8mph. Priced at an immodest £14,985, it came with Recaro front seats and a leather-topped walnut dashboard as standard. The plan was to reconfigure 250 examples and an initial batch of 100 Injection Capris was purchased from Ford. However, at some 200 man-hours per conversion, the cars proved expensive to build and expensive to sell. Ultimately, just 85 of the original batch are understood to have been completed. So, what of the missing fifteen cars? It is understood that the final fifteen of the 100 Injection Capris purchased by Tickford were never converted and remained as standard 2.8is, yet had already been registered as 'Tickford Capris' with the DVLA and subsequently sold through a Northampton Ford Dealer to the general public.The subject to an article by the Chairman of the Tickford Owner's Club in August 2024, it is now understood that 'D985 FKV' is one of the fifteen Capri 2.8i's sold as 'Tickford Capris' in 1987, but never converted to be sold as one of the 85. Despite this, the muscular Ford has been confirmed to be fitted with a number of genuine Tickford parts that would mean a 'retro-fit' may not have been entirely possible to bring it up to full Tickford Turbo specification. The Ford has had four previous owners with one of them being able to find the parts needed to convert the car cosmetically. It is possible that it was sent back to Tickford to have these fitted. The Capri features the correct wooden dashboard with its special gauges and leather Recaro bucket seats, to match the body-kit with correct Aston Martin badging. Under the bonnet, however, things are a little different, with the correct IHI turbocharger absent, although a different type is fitted.The vendor has advised that the car appears to be in 'very good' mechanical condition and the exterior bodywork is in overall 'good condition'. The Tickford-style interior presents in a 'very good, charmingly patinated' condition. Now offered to the market to make space for other vehicles, this interesting Ford is the perfect opportunity for any prospective owner with an interest in Tickford cars.

Registration No: T.B.A Chassis No: 1FA6P8CF4F5307788 MOT: July 20251 of just 1,964 Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Performance Pack examples producedUnique Mustang having been further redeveloped by Fortis Auto DesignFeaturing wide-body, scissor doors, and performance upgrades to 450bhpJust 27,000 miles from newPLEASE NOTE: The registration transfer is still on-going for this lot and therefore is not yet back on its age related registration number.PLEASE NOTE: Since photography, this lot has sustained a crack to the windscreen.The Ford Mustang is undoubtedly an American icon. The first production Mustang rolled off the assembly line in Dearborn, Michigan in March 1964 and was introduced to the public at the New York World's Fair on 17th April 1964. It was, and remains, one of the most successful product launches in automotive history, with the original Mustang selling over one million units in its first eighteen months alone. After five previous generations diluting the original 'Pony car', the sixth-generation arrived in 2013 to widespread consideration that Ford has perhaps returned the Mustang to its glory days. Publicly unveiled on the 5th of December 2013, in Dearborn, Michigan, New York, Los Angeles, California; Barcelona, Spain, Shanghai, China; and Sydney, Australia, with the internal project code name; S-550, with three engine options available: a newly developed 2.3 litre EcoBoost with 310bhp, a 3.7 litre 300bhp V6, or the 5.0 litre Coyote 435bhp V8 with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. A new independent rear suspension system was developed specifically for the new model. It also became the first factory version designed as a righthand drive export model to be sold overseas through Ford new car dealerships in righthand drive markets.This intimidating 5.0 litre V8 special edition was initially imported by Bill Shepherd Mustang in 2015. Part of a limited edition 50th Anniversary Performance Pack run, just 1,964 examples were released to pay homage to the first generation Mustangs of 1964. Boasting retro stitching throughout, a retro-look instrument cluster surround, and exclusive Black leather upholstery embossed with the Mustang 50-year logo. Chrome accents around the rear taillights and a special 50-year plaque on the dash noting this special edition's place in history complete the many upgrades. The model was marketed as a 2014½ model, paying tribute to the original 1964½ model.Not satisfied with the standard Mustangs appearance, and in the true spirit of enhancing the Mustangs, Fortis Auto Design worked closely with renowned specialists to create this one-off bespoke example. Extreme Dimensions created the bespoke wide arch moulded body, Diode Dynamics provided the lighting upgrades which include interior LEDs and RGBW +A Sequential Tri-Bar DRL upgrade, KW Automotive lowered the suspension, and a MagnaFlow competition exhaust was added providing ample audio to compliment the aggressive appearance. The Mustang has hydro-dipped carbon fibre dash panels and ROUSH bonnet scoop and vents.The bodywork modifications don’t stop there however, in fact, arguably most notable is the fitment of scissor doors that give the Mustang additional flair. QuickLIFT ELITE bonnet kit, custom Avery Diamond Super Snake striping and Bullet alloy wheels with original style wheel spinners complete the exterior appearance. Offered now having covered just 27,000 miles, the Mustang has a history file including documented service history including a service last month at Ford Bury St Edmunds, a collection of MOTs, a current no advisory MOT until July 2025, and a current V5C document. Professionally valeted bi-weekly in current ownership, the Mustang also benefits from a stage one ceramic coating at the start of this year. This truly one-off Mustang is undoubtedly not for shrinking violets and harks back to how original Mustang owners would upgrade their 'pony car'.PLEASE NOTE: The registration number shown in the images is not included in the sale.

Registration No: FSV 739 Chassis No: 332808 MOT: ExemptOn offer from the estate of the late David NevePurchased by the later owner who subjected it to a full restorationBrighton built (UK market from new)One of the more successful designs of the micro-car era was the BMW Isetta. By 1959 they were powered by a 297cc engine was reckoned capable of 65mph and 55mpg. Approximately 162,000 Isettas had been made by the time production ceased in 1962. This 'big' Isetta 300 The most memorable aspect of the design was the steering wheel and dashboard were attached to and moved with the opening fridge-like door to facilitate entry. From 1957, the two-seater Isetta incorporated sliding side windows for better ventilation.According to the buff logbook supplied within the history file, chassis 332808 was first registered by the supplying dealer, A Williams & Co Ltd of Cheltenham, as ‘657 ADG’ on 16th April 1962. The first private owner, H.J. Scarlett of Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire, would keep it until 1964 when it was sold to a lady owner. The little Isetta passed through several owners, being re-registered as ‘FSV 739’ in 1986. Acquired by the late owner, Mr David Neve in 1999, it was now in need of restoration work. A comprehensive overhaul was begun, including repainting, works to the brakes and an engine overhaul and would be the longest owned of his collection. Exceptionally proud of his microcar collection, Mr Neve would often be seen around Norfolk at different car shows with them before his passing earlier in 2024.Mr Neve’s declining health meant that his collection had not been used for some years, so all lots will require some level of mechanical attention. ‘FSV 739’ is to be supplied with a modest history file consisting of the V5C, original buff logbook, previous older V5s, a few old MOTs and a workshop manual. Some spares are included, consisting of a spare engine, headlamps and sundry parts like brake drums. We are honoured to be offering the car collection all at No Reserve at our Duxford Imperial War Museum sale.

Registration No: 651 KUO Chassis No: A332022 MOT: ExemptOn offer from the estate of the late David NeveRestored by the late owner and then laid up for a number of years, and will now be a rewarding recommissioning projectAn original Brighton-built carSupplied as one lot with a customised Paxton trailer for transportOne of the more successful designs of the micro-car era was the BMW Isetta. By 1959 they were powered by a 297cc engine was reckoned capable of 65mph and 55mpg. Approximately 162,000 Isettas had been made by the time production ceased in 1962. This 'big' Isetta 300 The most memorable aspect of the design was the steering wheel and dashboard were attached to and moved with the opening fridge-like door to facilitate entry. From 1957, the two-seater Isetta incorporated sliding side windows for better ventilation.Understood to have been built at the Brighton works in 1962, chassis ‘A332022’ is understood to retain its original registration number ‘651 KUO’, which is original to the North Devon area. Little is known of the early history of the little Isetta, however, it is believed to have been re-registered with the DVLA on the 8th October 1992, when it was recommissioned for the road. The previous owner, Mr M Paxton purchased the car in 1994 and in 2013, the car was subject to a comprehensive body-off restoration. The engine was found to be in remarkably good condition and treated to a clean and a new exhaust silencer to aid running. Internally, the seat was re-covered in leather and a new rubber floor mat was fitted. The result of all this hard work was that during 2015 the quirky little car won the Isetta Owner's Club ‘Restoration of the Year’ award.The late owner and father of the vendor, Mr David Neve, purchased the iconic two-stroke machine from Mr Paxton in June 2019 and came supplied with the Paxton trailer that it is to be sold with today. Mr Neve’s son recalls that his father was exceptionally proud of his microcar collection and would often be seen around Norfolk at different car shows with them before his passing earlier in 2024.Mr Neve’s declining health meant that his collection had not been used for some time, so all lots will require some level of mechanical attention prior to their usage. ‘651 KUO’ is to be supplied with a modest history file consisting of the UK V5C, old style V5 from the previous owner, a spare gasket set for the engine, an original workshop manual and the Paxton Trailer as photographed. We are honoured to be offering the car collection directly from the family at No Reserve at our Duxford Imperial War Museum sale.

Registration No: LFD 525L Chassis No: 1S1516 MOT: ExemptRecently subject to full cosmetic overhaul into the attractive original colour scheme of Light Blue over a Dark Blue interiorBelieved genuine 83,893 miles from newOffered with a history file displaying much recent expenditure including over 400 photographs documenting the body overhaulSpecified as a UK market, right-hand drive car fitted with the desirable four-speed manual gearbox from newBy 1971, Jaguar's jaw-dropping E-Type had been in production for a decade. Despite continual improvements, new emissions legislation in the all-important American market threatened to strangle the 'big cat's' performance. Jaguar responded by giving its revered sportscar fresh claws in the shape of a 5343cc V12 developed from the stillborn XJ13 Le Mans project car. The new engine was both effortlessly powerful and eerily refined. 'The turbine-like smoothness with which the engine provides a sustained shove in the back is almost uncanny, the more so when one accelerates hard in top gear.' (Autocar 5th July 1973). With some 272bhp and 304lbft of torque on tap, the Series III E-Type once again had 150mph in its sights. A revised wheelbase yielded better cabin space and in conjunction with wider front/rear tracks, new anti-dive front suspension geometry and fatter tyres gave improved road holding. Imbued with a more muscular stance thanks to its flared wheel arches, re-profiled wings and larger grille, the model also boasted vented disc brakes and a restyled interior. According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis 1S1516 was completed to ‘home market’, manual transmission specification and despatched to P.J. Evans on 26th October 1972. Originally finished in the gorgeous combination of Light Blue with Dark Blue upholstery, the E-Type’s early years are a mystery. The first MOT certificate on file was issued during 1984 at an indicated 51,795 miles. Known to have belonged to M. Charles of Walton-on-Thames in 1986, the two-seater then belonged to G. Thomas of Shenfield for twenty-one years before entering the current ownership during 2018. Fastidious about the cars in his collection, the vendor has had JC Specialists fettle the Jaguar’s suspension, braking system, cooling system, fuelling system and ignition system. He has also subjected the E-Type to a bare metal respray (documented via 400 photos). Believed, but not warranted, to have covered some 83,900 miles from new, ‘LFD 525L’ started readily and ran well on its uprated SU carburettors during our recent photography session. Refurbished at some stage, the interior trim remains smart and indeed the seller considers the whole car to be in ‘very good overall’ condition. Riding on gleaming wire wheels and sporting a wood-rimmed Moto Lita steering wheel, this highly appealing Series III V12 Roadster is only being offered for sale in an attempt to downsize.

Registration No: JLO 110K Chassis No: 1S50350 MOT: ExemptOne of just 2,116 right-hand drive examples and fitted with the desirable manual gearboxMatching chassis and engine numbersSubject of a full professional restoration in 2010 in its original colour combinationOffered with a history file including the Jaguar Heritage CertificateLast of the line, the Jaguar E-type Series III was introduced in 1971. Longer, wider and more comfortable than its predecessors, the newcomer blurred the lines between sports car and grand tourer. Powered by a turbine-smooth all-alloy SOHC 5343cc V12 engine allied to either Jaguar four-speed manual or Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission, the refined manner in which it performed (contemporary road tests spoke of 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds and 150mph) simply blew road testers away. Benefiting from a broader track, ventilated disc brakes, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and Lucas transistorised ignition, the Series III was visually distinguished by its 'egg-crate' grille, flared wheel arches and purposeful quad-exhaust pipes. Available in fixed-head coupe (2+2-seater) or roadster (2-seater) guises, it remained in volume production until 1974 (though, a special commemorative run of forty-nine black-painted roadsters was released the following year).Chassis number ‘1S50350’ was dispatched new on the 17th of September 1971 to the supplying dealer, Charles Follett, London W1, and thereafter was sold to the first owner, a Mrs K. Gaze. Finished from new in Light Blue paintwork with a Dark Blue interior upholstery, pleasingly the colour scheme in which it is still presented today. Desirable for being both a manual gearbox car and a matching numbers example, ‘JLO 110K’ was lavished with a comprehensive restoration in 2010 including a full bodywork renovation with the bodywork stripped and restored with a focus upon saving as much of the original metal work as possible. More recently benefitting from a fuel system refresh in 2017, and full servicing with new spark plugs as well as rear exhaust box and tailpipes in 2022.Starting readily and both running and driving very well during the recent photography session, the Jaguar is offered with a credible recorded mileage of 81,500 miles on the odometer. Accompanied by a history file comprising the JHT Heritage Certificate, a collection of invoices and previous MOTs, a maintenance chart, operating, maintenance and service handbook, ownership history, and a current V5C document. UK-supplied, manual gearbox, matching numbers examples are highly desirable E-Types and with this V12 Coupe being all of these and having been provided a full restoration in its original colour scheme is certainly one to consider.

Registration No: 813 CYE Chassis No: 1210427503213 MOT: August 2025Entered from The Merlin Collection1 of only 562 cars built across all right-hand drive markets1 of just 3,332 190SLs made during 1957 but not UK road registered until April 1958The subject of an exhautsive three and a half year, photographically documented, rotisserie restorationAs good underneath as it is on top and the nicest example we have encounteredPotentially Mille Miglia eligibleThe 190SL was introduced in 1955 – the year Mercedes swept all before it on the Mille Miglia with the 300SLR. Indeed, the graceful, new two-door, convertible grand tourer was 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 monocoque construction. The 190SL also boasted an all-new engine - an over-square SOHC straight-four unit of 1897cc that produced some 120bhp, which was sufficient to propel the car to a maximum speed of 112mph. The engine was coupled to a manual four-speed gearbox. 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, notable comfort for its occupants and relatively generous luggage space. Under the circumstances, even the steep asking price of £2,693 did nothing to deter purchasers. Options included a third seat placed transversely behind the front ones which was big enough to carry an adult. The 190SL continued in production until 1963, when both it and the 300SL were replaced by the 230SL (W113). By this time 25,881 190SLs had been produced (just over two percent of which – some 562 cars - were to right-hand drive specification). Completed during the 1957 model year, this particular example – chassis 121.042-7503213 – was first road registered in London as ‘813 CYE’ on April 14th 1958. Migrating to Oxford and the care of Dr Keith Hawton thereafter, the two-seater was granted a MOT certificate by Alcester Rd Service Station of Kings Heath, Birmingham on September 22nd 1977 at an indicated 63,601 miles. Resident in Yorkshire the following decade, it received a new short block, cylinder head and camshaft plus numerous other parts via Mercedes-Benz main dealer, Derwent Vehicles of Leeds. Returning to London in the early 2000s, the Roadster then relocated to Norfolk for thirteen years before being bought by its previous keeper for £93,000 during April 2017. Fortunate enough to have his own bodyshop, the gentleman in question got carried away with the subsequent restoration to the extent of not daring to add up the number of hours his team spent on it! Familiar with refurbishing classic Mercedes-Benz models, they stripped the 190SL down to ‘the last nut and bolt’, carrying out any remedial metalwork repairs as necessary. Hundreds of accompanying photographs document the extent and thoroughness of the renovation with the previous custodian putting the cost at £104,000 (despite heavily discounted ‘in-house’ labour rates). Refinished in its original Anthracite Grey Metallic (DB172) colour scheme matched to Cream leather upholstery and a matching soft-top, ‘813 CYE’ did not want for visual drama when it joined The Merlin Collection via our 17th November 2021 auction for a record-breaking £224,250. Although, the engine had only covered a few thousand miles since being overhauled while the car was resident in Norfolk the vendor tuned the Solex carburettors, renewed various gaskets and generally improved it. Similarly, the suspension, brakes and electrics were all de-bugged. A new spare wheel was sourced for the two-seater together with a correct-type jack and MB-branded tools etc. Potentially eligible for the Mille Miglia Storica, ‘813 CYE’ remains the best 190SL (LHD or RHD) that we have had the pleasure of offering for sale. Turning more heads than any of its stablemates, this stunning Mercedes-Benz comes to market with owner’s manual, history file, numerous restoration photographs and assorted parts invoices.

Registration No: LO08 XYF Chassis No: ZFA31200000159214 MOT: August 2025Commissioned by Ferrari for their dealer networkNumber 120 of only 200 examples, of which 60 were right-hand driveSupplied with extensive service history including the original book packShowing only 58466 miles from newThe Fiat 500 Ferrari Dealer Edition is a very special and rare example of the incredibly cute and successful 'retro' city car. Originally ordered by Ferrari in 2008, to be used as a stylish courtesy vehicle by their approved service network, only 200 were built, with a numbered plaque fitted to each; of which only 60 were delivered to UK dealers in right-hand drive specification. Not to be confused with the later (and more common) Abarth 695 Tributo, the Dealer Edition was fitted with a 100bhp turbocharged 1.4 Litre four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission. All were painted in the iconic Rosso Corsa with the obligatory Scuderia shields adorning the wings, with the inside fitted out with Nero Leather where bucket seats, aluminium sports pedals, automatic climate control and an electric sliding panoramic sunroof could be found for the full 'Maranello' effect. The Dealer Edition proved so popular that most were sold to some of the most important clients of the Italian brand and the little Red Fiats are now very hard to find on the market today.First registered on the 29th July 2008, to Stratstone Ferrari & Maserati of Manchester, 'LO08 XYF' was to be kept by the firm for only one year before being sold out of the business to Park Lane (UK) Ltd of Alton, Hants in 2009. It is apparent that the baby Fiat was serviced by Stratstone during their ownership and not recorded in the service book at the time, however, the first stamp in the book is from Park Lane at 23,571 miles. There are four further stamps on file from Park Lane at 30,604 miles, 33,217 miles, 38,113 miles and 43,490 miles upon sale. For reasons unknown, the latter two service events included two cambelt changes. Acquired by the vendor's brother at the end of 2018, it was used very sparingly and actually moved to Italy with them for some six months. It was during this period that he decided that it was not suitable for the mountain roads and so it was sold within the family to the vendor in 2020 at c.56,500 miles. It was serviced by PMW Ltd at 56,841 miles immediately after acquisition.The vendor, in his own words, isn't ‘a major car enthusiast’ and has only covered approximately 2,000 miles on short trips to the shops with his wife and has now decided that it is time for the car to go to a more appropriate home. It has deteriorated cosmetically somewhat; the vendor pointed out some dents, lacquer peel and the original alloy wheels being in need of refurbishment. However, he describes the mechanical condition as 'very good' and describes it as a 'dependable little car'. Now offered at No Reserve, this could be the most affordable route to legitimate Scuderia shield-wearing exotica out there!

Registration No: TJH 525D Chassis No: DB6/2453/R MOT: ExemptSupplied new via Plough Motors to Aegues Properties Ltd of Cheltenham and initially registered as 'GDD 222D'In single ownership from 1972 - 2024, by which time it had been repainted from Silver Birch to Fiesta Red and granted its current 'TJH 525D' number plateMatching chassis and engine numbers and desirable ZF 5-speed manual gearboxAccompanying paperwork dates back to 1971 when the DB6 underwent a major service at the factoryTreated to a partial re-trim and new battery by the vendor. Running and driving with decent oil pressure but would benefit from further recommissioningUnveiled at the 1965 London Motor Show, the DB6 was 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, 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 a claimed kerb weight of 3,232lbs that was actually only 17lbs heavier than its predecessor. Praised by the contemporary motoring press for its poise, the DB6 employed all-round coil-sprung suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by the famous Tadek Marek designed 3995cc DOHC straight-six engine, the model boasted some 325bhp and 288lbft of torque in uprated Vantage 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 Vantage to be capable of 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds and 150mph. A total of 1,327 MkI Saloons were produced between October 1965 and the MkII's July 1969 arrival. According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis DB6/2453/R was completed on 20th January 1966 and despatched to Plough Motors (Stroud Valley) Ltd some six weeks later. Originally finished in Silver Birch, the Aston Martin’s impressive specification also encompassed the more powerful Vantage engine, ZF 5-speed manual transmission, heated rear windscreen, powered aerial and chrome wire wheels with three-eared spinners. Supplied new to Aegues Properties Ltd of Cheltenham, the DB6 was returned to the factory for a major service during November 1971, by which time it belonged to G.A. Darlington Esq of Newton Hall, Suffolk and had exchanged its first number plate ‘GDD 222D’ for the current one ‘TJH 525D’. Repainted Fiesta Red prior to being bought by C.E. McKinney Esq the following year, the 2+2-seater remained in his care until 2024. A pilot by profession, Mr McKinney used the Aston Martin for commuting in the 1970s but only on high days and holidays thereafter. Invoices on file show that the DB6 has covered a mere 20,000 miles since having its cylinder head overhauled by W. Rennie-Roberts of Colchester during April 1975 (the warranted odometer reading stands at just 98,000). Other bills from Aston Martin Lagonda, Aston Service Dorset, Puddleduck and Rikki Cann attest to ongoing maintenance. The brake system has been refurbished (2002-2003), the starter motor rejuvenated (2010) and the fuel pump renewed (2011). Entrusted to Classic and Retro of Sible Hedingham in late 2012 at a recorded 97,585 miles, the 2+2-seater had attention paid to its ignition system, interior trim (headlining, carpets, rear seat base etc), window rubbers and brakes not to mention being treated to new wire wheels and tyres. Further improved by Woodbridge Classic Cars at a cost of £2,947.18 during June 2015, they replaced the engine and fuel tank mounts, installed new steering rack gaiters, changed the left-hand servo gaskets and tuned the triple Weber carburettors. Reluctantly put up for sale after more than half a century due to the physicality of driving it, ‘TJH 525D’ entered the current ownership in January this year. A lifelong Aston Martin enthusiast, the vendor has partially re-trimmed the cabin (new front seat facings and boot carpet) and begun the recommissioning process. Starting readily during our recent photography session (August 2024) and driven to and from the location, the DB6 recorded good oil pressure but would nevertheless benefit from more mechanical fettling. The underside appeared sound during our cursory inspection, with evidence of new sills and jacking points being fitted in the past. The seller had intended to return the 2+2-seater to its initial Silver Birch hue. However, the acquisition of another DB6 whilst waiting for a slot at his preferred body shop has meant that ‘TJH 525D’ is now surplus to requirements. Pleasingly retaining its original Vantage engine albeit with the bonus of comparatively fresh Weber carburettors and a stainless steel exhaust, this much-loved and archetypal British GT is now ready for its next long-term custodian.

Registration No: NXS 982 Chassis No: 643453 MOT: ExemptDiscovered abandoned in Shoshoni, Wyoming where it had been stored for more than forty yearsImported to the United Kingdom in 2018 and provided with a full mechanical restorationOriginal patination and paintwork retained throughoutBenefitting from some £47,000 worth of expenditure during the restorationSupplied with a large history file including photographic documentation of the restorationWith prospects of the war ending shortly, in February 1945, Ford received permission to resume production of Pickups after an absence from the market for three years. First relaunching production with the pre-war 21C Model, it was thereafter followed by the model 59C in May. During 1945, only 1/2 ton Pickups were built, and on the 3rd of May 1945, the 31 millionth Ford was built, which, unsurprisingly was a Pickup. The Pickups utilised a Flathead V8 engine and a three-speed manual transmission with floor change.Manufactured in 1945, chassis number ‘643453’ supplied new to the United States of America. Discovered in an abandoned workshop in Shoshoni, Wyoming in 2017, it is understood that the Pickup had resided there for over forty years. Offered through Hemmings, the Ford was spotted by the vendor and his son who decided to purchase and import the Truck due to its incredible originality and patina. Arriving in the United Kingdom in 2018, ‘643453’ was entrusted to Belcher Engineering to provide a full and comprehensive mechanical restoration. The original block was found to be cracked so a correct type block was supplied and overhauled; gearbox overhauled; the chassis was cleaned and oiled; the axles and suspension restored; radiator re-cored; fuel tank restored; brakes renewed; and wheels clear coated with new Longstone tyres.The bodywork was provided with fresh metalwork as required, welded and finished to match previous scars and repairs from before its lay-up in America. Thereafter, the body was prepared and clear coated to preserve the surviving original paintwork and patination. The interior upholstery is inspired by the local tribe in Shoshoni, the Shoshone Tribe, with their fabric pattern used for the bench seat drape. Total expenditure on the project reached just shy of £48,000 in total and is pleasingly documented across three large history files and several articles for the Early Ford Club, providing a comprehensive written and pictural record of the restoration. Since used and enjoyed, including attending several shows, most notably being displayed at the NEC, the Ford started readily and ran very well during our recent photography session, and is offered for sale with a spares package.

Registration No: ULY 686F Chassis No: P1B9531BW MOT: ExemptDesirable home-market example fitted with automatic transmission and power steeringPreviously a concours standard example, it remains a notably well-looked-after machine todayExtensive history file including green RF60 logbook, original service records and owner's manualLaunched in 1963, the Jaguar S-type was marketed as a model that would more suitably fit into the 'executive' car sector than its MkII sibling. Boasting notably superior ride and handling characteristics thanks to the adoption of the independent rear suspension (cribbed from the MkX / E-type), it also enjoyed a more spacious interior, complete with a dashboard-mounted walnut centre console. Visually distinguished by its elongated boot, flatter roofline and hooded headlamps, the model was powered by a choice of 3.4 litre (210bhp) or 3.8 litre (220bhp) DOHC straight-six engines allied to either manual or automatic transmission. Maintaining the Coventry manufacturer's reputation for speed, luxury, and mechanical refinement, the S-type remained in production until 1968, by which time some 25,000 had been sold (10,000 3.4s vs. 15,000 3.8s).Presenting in British Racing Green, wonderfully complemented by a Suede Green leather interior, ‘ULY 686F’ resided in the same family for five decades and regularly displayed at shows in the 1980s. First supplied to Enfield Rolling Mills Ltd, Enfield in July 1968, ownership transferred to a Leonard Dyer of Grange Park, in June 1969. Subsequently entering the ownership of the long-term family owners in August 1975, the previous owner’s father purchased the car and is said to have been meticulous, ensuring the S-Type remained in show condition. The Jaguar Periodic Maintenance Vouchers record regular servicing maintained across the three owners. As the years passed, the upkeep got too much for him and ownership transferred to his son.With a few blemishes from enthusiastic polishing, the paint is still very presentable. The 6-cylinder engine fired up extremely well at the time of consignment, showing good oil pressure. Evidently, the S-Type continues to be well maintained, there's still grease on the original door hinge nipples and the suspension sits well. Benefitting from some refreshing, the vendor has sympathetically re-connollised the Suede Green leather seats, lifting the whole interior. Offered with an extensive history file, there's a green RF60 logbook, original service records, owners' manual and the V5C. The vendor, having purchased the car from the previous family owners, is a Jaguar collector and has not recorded his name on the V5C.

Registration No: WAM 731K Chassis No: GHN5252748G MOT: May 2025‘Works-style replica’ for use in classic tours and track eventsSubject to an extensive 3- year restoration by A J RestorationsGas flowed Oselli head, Piper 717 cam, a balanced crank, rods, flywheel and Weber 45Moss Independent front suspension set-up and 15” Minilite style wheels PLEASE NOTE: The windscreen on this lot has recently cracked. The MG is booked in for a replacement windscreen on Thursday. If the successful buyer wanted to collect the MG from the vendor when the windscreen has been replaced this can be arranged or alternatively the vendor will look to arrange the appointment closer to the buyer’s location. Introduced in 1962, the MG B 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 a four-speed manual transmission. Capable of over 100mph, the provision of front disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering greatly aided control. The MkII (’GHN5’ chassis numbers from 1969 onwards) MG B, had a 5 main bearing engine with alternator, negative earth and, at last, received a new gearbox with synchromesh on all four forward speeds.Finished in Tartan Red with White Works style hardtop which is fitted with a rare Minivan roof vent 'WAM 731K' was bought by the vendor in 2001 and from 2003 to 2006 was subject to an extensive 3-year restoration by A J Restorations of Shaftesbury. All external panels (doors, bonnet, boot and front wings) were replaced and front and rear Sebring valances were fitted. The remit was to restore and replicate the 1965 Works MGB Race cars used at Le Mans.The impressive specification includes; Gas flowed Oselli head, Piper 717 cam, a balanced crank, rods, flywheel and a Weber 45 carburettor which produced 130bhp on Sigma’s rolling road in Gillingham. In 2001 the whole front suspension was replaced with a Moss Independent front suspension set-up and all the suspension and brake components were renewed including the discs, uprights, and hubs at a cost of some £3,000.We are told the full roll cage took a week to adapt and fit properly and four new 15” Minilite wheels, tyres, racing seats and harnesses were all installed. In total c.£25,000 has been spent. A regular attendee to Goodwood, Le Mans Classic, Silverstone Classic (on the MG Owners club stand), we are informed it has not been raced, although it has done a couple of track days at Castle Combe. The MG further benefits from trips to AJ Restorations every May, for a service and MOT. For more information, please contact: John Markey john.markey@handh.co.uk 01428 607899

Registration No: LVC 359V Chassis No: TCN150135UCF MOT: ExemptCurrent ownership since 1995Understood to have been a test vehicle for Pirelli tyresRare Triumph TR8 Coupe converted to RHD in 1983Extensive restoration works completed by S+S Preperations in 1989Supplied with BMIHT Certificate and fitted with replacement 3.9 litre engine which is upratedTR8 Coupes, based upon the original Harris Mann TR7 design, made from 1978 to 1980 are quite rare; it is estimated that only about 400 (from records kept by members of the North America-based Triumph Wedge Owners Association) genuine TR8 Coupes ever existed let alone survive today or are here in the UK, as many went stateside. Add to the roughly 150 pre-production Coupes mentioned above, another 250 or so Coupes were produced, some sold in Canada as 1979 models but most ended up being held back and then finally sold in the US as 1980 models.In 1979, a long-anticipated Michelotti-refreshed TR7 Drophead (convertible) was introduced, and almost all subsequent production TR8s were convertibles. Worldwide production, as best as can be determined, throughout all the labour turmoil at the time, is only around 2750, give or take "a handful". (Enthusiast Richard Connew went through the records at British Motor Heritage Industry Trust and counted 2746.). The TR8 was due to be launched in the UK and a pilot production run was made consisting of four prototypes and 18 pre-production cars. At this point, British Leyland unexpectedly cancelled the project. The pre-production cars were subsequently sold via the dealer network to the public and are highly collectable. Both the TR7 and TR8 were built until October 1981 when production ceased. Very few genuine TR8s exist outside the United States and Canada.One of just 400 TR8 Coupes built by Triumph on 3rd April 1979 to North American specification (left-hand drive). Never shipped to the USA, it was registered as a test vehicle on 23rd April 1980 (the registration containing ‘VC’ synonymous with other BL factory development cars). Subsequently sold to Pirelli on 28th April 1980, it was used for tyre testing in Italy. Following its working life, the TR8 was sent to Paul Haywood Motors for a right-hand drive conversion with ‘LVC’ being sold on 20th October 1983 to a Mr S J Lloyd of Baldock, Hertfordshire, before being sold to a David Smallridge of Milton Keynes, on 12th June 1988.Mr Smallbridge organised a full body restoration, with the colour change from Blue to Red. ‘LVC’ was also fitted with a 3.9 litre engine, big valve heads, Piper cam,lifters and Holley carburetor, LSD plus brake and suspension parts etc. With work carried out by S & S Preparations in Lancashire (receipts on file), the intention was to use ‘LVC’ in club race meetings. Purchased by the present owner on 25th August 1995, it has since been garaged and used for attending car events, but not used in motorsport competition. Supplied with a BMIHT Certificate, workshop manual, collection of invoices plus a receipt for £8587.35 by S+S Preparations and a current V5C.

Registration No: WMP 391G Chassis No: G1110 MOT: May 2025No. 110 of only 197 examples manufacturedSubject to a comprehensive restoration in the 1990s with only c.10,000 miles covered since3.0-litre V6 engine with fast road camshaft, uprated oil pump, and new Weber carburettorBenefitting from thousands of recent expenditure with a marque specialistAnnounced at the 1966 London Motor Show, the Genie introduced a new body shape with a more powerful 3.0-litre Ford V6 engine. Production started in 1967 and continued until 1970, the cars being sold in either component form or fully factory-built. The engine was fed by a twin-choke Weber carburettor, with a four-speed manual gearbox (optional with overdrive gearbox). Suspension on the first 30 to 40 cars was still MGB with wire wheels, although a number were fitted with the Austin Healey 3000 rear axle. Later cars have the MGC rear axle and front suspension uprights with Gilbern-designed alloy wheels. The body shape of the Genie is also common to the MkI and MkII Invaders, but the various models can usually be identified from their detailed fitments and fittings. The Genies interior featured a vinyl-covered dashboard and centre console and was further distinguishable by two forward-facing vents bonnet. Other features are opening front and rear quarter lights; electric windows were an optional extra.Number 110 of the mere 197 examples manufactured, ‘WMP 391G’ was manufactured in 1969 and first registered in the United Kingdom on the 1st of February that year. A desirable overdrive example, it benefitted from a comprehensive restoration in the early 1990s, during which the Genie received a full repaint in Giallo Forte paintwork, a full engine overhaul including uprating with a fast road camshaft, uprated oil pump, new Weber carburettor, and electronic ignition. Showing some 97,000 miles when restored, the Gilbern has covered just c.9,000 miles since the restoration.Well maintained by the previous and current keepers utilising services of marque specialist, Sporting Classic Marques of Llanelli. During the previous ownership improvements by them included fabricating new stainless steel rear exhaust sections and rolling road tuning (with the dyno sheets showing 165bhp and 189lb/ft). Entering the vendor's private collection in 2018, the Gilbern received over £4,200 expenditure with Sporting Classic Marques in 2023 comprising a new starter motor, attention to the fuel lines, fabricated exhaust back box, re-wiring of the overdrive, renewed carburettor, and further fettling.Starting readily and both running and driving very well during the photography session, the Gilbern has been used for local events and runs and is only making way due to further classics being added to the collection. Offered with a history file including numerous previous MOTs, a collection of invoices, and a current V5C Document. A very rare model, this well-sorted example is temptingly offered without reserve, the Genie would allow any new owner to stand out from the crowd of less scarce classics!

Registration No: PN07 KTU Chassis No: WP0ZZZ98Z7U753659 MOT: January 2025Finished in the classic combination of Arctic Silver with Black leather upholsteryDesirable five-speed manual gearbox, Porsche side script, Black roof and Black alloysQuoted 242bhp / 201lbft and reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and 162mphDetailed service history with expenditure since 2018 totalling over £17,000 (including an engine refresh)Great value, mid-engined Porsche fastbackLess powerful but more reliable than the ‘S’ variant, the entry level Cayman arrived in July 2006. Faster than many previous generation 911s, Porsche’s hardtop, mid-engined, two-seater was also more dynamically balanced and driver friendly. Possessing greater torsional rigidity than the Boxster Convertible with which it shared a platform, the Fixed Head Coupe was able to utilise stiffer suspension and thus enjoyed even better handling / roadholding. Powered by a DOHC 2.7 litre ‘Flat Six’ engine allied to either manual or Tiptronic transmission, the Cayman had some 242bhp / 201lbft and was reportedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and 162mph. Styling cues borrowed from Porsche’s back catalogue (356, 550 Coupe and 904 Coupe) helped with the aesthetics, while the ergonomically designed cabin was suitably driver orientated. A serial Porsche 911 and Cayman owner, the vendor was drawn to ‘PN07 KTU’ because of the fastidious way it had been looked after by its previous custodian. A Metropolitan Police Royalty and Specialist Protection officer, the latter spent over £17,000 on the car between 2018 and 2023. Marque specialist 911Box carried out most of the work including: a thorough £7,931.88 engine overhaul (new IMS and crankshaft bearings, clutch and timing chains etc) at 79,833 miles, fitting a Dansk sports exhaust (£2,387.87) at 85,819 miles and the most recent major service (£876) last October at 103,405 miles. Other expenditure encompassed new rear brake discs, replacement front springs and air-con re-gassing. Ordered via A I Motokinisi of Cyprus to take advantage of the Mediterranean island’s lower taxes, chassis 753659 was built to right-hand drive specification complete with heated, hard-backed sports seats, 18-inch Cayman S alloy wheels and Black leather upholstery. Attractively finished in Arctic Silver with a contrasting Black roof, rear spoiler and side scripts, the two-seater is warranted to have covered some 110,000 miles from new. Housed within the accompanying leather-bound history folder, the service book contains ten stamps as well as numerous invoices, old MOTs and a Porsche Certificate of Production.

Registration No: N463 PVL Chassis No: SAJNX274XTC224855 MOT: May 2025Desirable Celebration model of which just approximately 4,000 were madeDelivered new to the US before import to the UK in 2018 and professionally converted to right-hand drivec.80,790 miles from newLaunched in September 1975 as a replacement for the E-Type, the XJS could only cheat time for so long and, in 1991, parent company Ford thoroughly reworked the luxury Grand Tourer at a cost of £50 million. Incorporating some 40 percent new panels, the rejuvenated model range sported a revised grille, headlamps, tail-lights, bumpers and rear wings. Its cabin, meanwhile, gained a new walnut facia and improved sports seats. The new version was powered by either a punchy straight-six (3980cc) or a soporific V12 (5343cc) engine; the former DOHC unit developed some 223bhp and 283lbft of torque. Featuring a five-speed manual transmission as standard, the 4.0-litre XJS could also be had with a four-speed automatic gearbox. Capable of over 140mph, the model proved to be a refined and relaxing drive, and production continued until 1996. The 'Celebration' was the final iteration of Jaguar's XJ-S (later XJS). Its unique specification was in recognition of 60 years of the Jaguar brand and included: chromed rear view mirrors and headlight surrounds; diamond cut alloy wheels; wood trim for the steering wheel and gearlever; and seats featuring embossed Jaguar 'leapers' and contrasting piping.Understood to have been manufactured on 13th December 1995 and despatched to the USA on 2nd January 1996, chassis 224855 came supplied in the attractive colours of Gold over an Oatmeal leather interior. Unlike many American market vehicles, it is supplied with a copy of its service records from Jaguar USA, which shows that the first owner kept the car for four years before the second owner took custodianship at a mere 22,199 miles.The Jaguar would be continuously well maintained until imported to the UK by the previous owner in 2018. Upon arrival in the UK, the car would take on the registration number 'N462 PVL' and the driver's position was moved to the right, which appears to have been completed to an incredibly high standard. The vendor took ownership of 'N462 PVL' in 2023 and has used it sparingly, but in that time has had a new alternator fitted, a service conducted and has had a new set of headlamps fitted.The vendor has stated that the mechanical condition is 'very good' and drives very well, with an eager start-up of the 4.0 Litre engine and a smooth automatic gear change. One area he believes could be improved is with some of the paintwork. The condition of the bodywork itself is 'very good' thanks to being from a southern State. Now offered to market due to the vendor suffering some mobility issues; this great XJ-S Celebration is arguably the best colour combination.

It does everything you’d hope a Ferrari would but with such polish, precision and ease that you don’t have to think twice about unleashing all its performance. There is perhaps no other car yet made that combines so much raw emotion with so much technical finesse (Evo magazine, June 1999)’Introduced in 1999 as a replacement for the F355, the 360 was an entirely new design featuring an aluminium spaceframe chassis which was 40% stiffer and 28% lighter than the tubular steel arrangement of its predecessor. The revised bodywork resulted in downforce improving by a factor of four over the F355. Powered by a 3.6-litre V8 coupled to either a six-speed manual or F1 electrohydraulic manual transmission, the 360's lighter weight improved the 0-60 mph dash to just 4.2 seconds with a nominal top speed of over 180mph. In 2001, the spider version was introduced, the stiffness of the spaceframe being ideally suited to handle an open top. This was followed in 2003 by the ultimate incarnation - the 360 racing series inspired Challenge Stradale - featuring a number of weight saving and tuning modifications by the factory.First registered on the 20th July 2001, chassis ZFFYT53C000125354 was supplied through Maranello of Egham to the first of only three owners and was specified as one of only 478 right-hand drive 6-speed manual examples in the attractive colour scheme of Argento Nürburgring paintwork with a Dark Blue mohair hood and a Tan leather-trimmed interior. The most recent long-term keeper owned the Spider for some sixteen years and was used so sparingly that the two-seater was put into storage from 2016 through to 2022 and would be returned to Maranello Egham, who have maintained the car throughout its 22 years, to be recommissioned.Upon inspection, this very presentable 360 Spider fired-up well. The vendor pointed out that there are some stone chips that are to be expected for a car of this age but thanks to recent paint correction around the rear arches, it presents in ‘very good’ order. It rides on the original set of ‘unmarked’ 18-inch alloy wheels, framing Silver brake calipers and shod with a recent set of Bridgestone Potenza tyres. Currently fitted is a top-of-the-range Becker stereo with Sat Nav; the original comes with the car.The comprehensive service history shows ten entries from Maranello Egham between 2002 and 2022 and one entry for Verdi in 2007. These were for annual servicing, but with belts at 4,276 and 5,311 miles, brake fluid at 12,877 miles, belts and plugs at 17,680 miles and at 19,956 miles as part of the car’s recommissioning following storage, which also included an Annual 2 Service and belts, plus a hydraulic clutch block, both lower ball joints and covers and suspension springs invoiced at £7,992.75. The most recent maintenance was in August 2023 at 20,005 miles and included an overhaul of the soft-top roof mechanism at a total cost of £2,897.45. Included in the sale are the original tool kit in a leather case, the official battery charger, handbooks and the service booklet, invoices, MOTs, the Certificate of Conformity, original Ferrari stereo, two keys with three fobs and the current V5C.

Registration No: SXF 102 Chassis No: 111-7-00850 MOT: ExemptUnderstood to have been supplied new to the Home Office Fire Services Technical Centre at Moreton-in-MarshReputedly the Command Car while in serviceMatching chassis and engine numbersOffered with a BMIHT Heritage CertificateDesigned by Maurice Wilks in 1947, a Land-Rover rates highly on any list of the world's most significant vehicles, and the earlier - and therefore purer - the better. By the 1957 model year, during which this example was made, weak points had been ironed out to bring the 4x4 to a specification that would last for decades. A simple ladder frame chassis, steel bulkhead and rugged square-formed aluminium panels created a strong workhorse for light industrial, countryside and military use alike. The 88" chassis was offered from mid-1956 model year, in preparation for the diesel variant.Chassis ‘00850’ was manufactured new on the 10th October 1956 and despatched on the 6th December to Halesowen Engineering Works, Worcester for Home Office fitment, as the Land Rover is understood to have been supplied new to the Home Office Fire Services Technical Centre at Moreton-in-Marsh. Home of firefighting training for the Civil Defence and AFS services (as well as the RAF and others) the site featured three made-up Mobile Fire Columns for teaching purposes. Reputedly the Command Car while in service, the Land Rover is thought to have covered low mileage in service due to the nature of its employment. Thereafter, ‘SXF 102’ spent much of its time in single-family ownership (from 1978 to 2017 and has a recorded mileage of some 28,000 miles.In current ownership, the Land Rover has benefited from engine and gearbox bearings and seals replacement; removal of the head and the valves checked; wheels shot-blasted, refurbished and shod with new tyres; and the footwells renewed. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, the Series I is accompanied by the BMIHT Heritage Certificate, a collection of previous MOTs and invoices, an original operations manual; workshop and instruction manuals; and a current V5C document. A matching chassis and engine numbers example and pleasingly still retaining its ‘SXF’ Civil Defence Land-Rovers registration number, chassis 00850 is due to be driven to the sale.

Registration No: HHJ 380L Chassis No: LD 200090 MOT: September 2025Manual transmission, with overdrive Desirable UK-supplied, home market RHD exampleFitted with a variety of subtle upgrades and enhancementsFitted with a Black Mohair soft topRecently serviced and MOT tested, with no advisoriesIntroduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering, and servo-backed disc / drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon in order to fashion the initial prototype), the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. Neatly integrated, the substantial roll-over hoop that joined the B-pillars gained extra strength from a T-bar link to the windscreen frame. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Available with a choice of four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, all but the earliest Stags benefited from both hard and soft-top roofs. Despite being in production for seven years, during which time 25,877 cars were made, a mere 9,500 or so are thought to have survived.Said by our vendor to “run and drive very well, with everything working as it should”, HHJ 380L is said to benefit from a number of desirable, yet subtle upgrades including uprated rear drive shafts, electric water pump, aluminium radiator, stainless steel tubular exhaust manifolds with sports large bore tailpipe, Lumenition electronic ignition, uprated headlamp kit (to H4 specification all around with relay pack), together with a retro “Tadpole’ radio featuring modern internals. The car’s paintwork is described as “excellent”, as is the chromework. The trim is also described as “excellent” and the black mohair hood is saids to be just as good! Riding on a correct specification alloy wheels in fantastic condition, the underside of the car is also in great structural condition. Ready to use and enjoy, the car is accompanied by a small file of paperwork and has just undergone an MOT inspection to September 2025 (with no advisories) - it was recently serviced also.
