PLEASE NOTE: The original gearbox and hubs are available for collection from the vendor by the successful purchaser. - Period competition history including Land's End Trial - Red with Red/Biscuit interior - Broadsport 5 speed gearbox and other upgrades Launched at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show, the Jaguar XK120 Roadster caused a sensation. Penned by Sir William Lyons, the model's sensuous lines seemed almost impossibly glamorous to a country still under rationing. Flooded with orders, Jaguar began limited hand-built production soon thereafter (it was not until 1950 that the factory was sufficiently 'tooled-up' to discard aluminium in favour of steel for the curvaceous bodywork). Based around a cruciform-braced box-section chassis equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and hydraulic drum brakes, the lithe two-seater proved equally adept on road or track winning both the RAC TT and Alpine Trial during 1950. Developing some 160bhp and 190lbft of torque in standard tune, its legendary 3442cc DOHC straight-six engine was allied to four-speed manual transmission. Any Jaguar XK120 Roadster is a desirable car but those boasting period competition history are particularly sought after. This right-hand drive example was supplied new via Henlys of London during November 1950. Migrating to Cornwall thereafter, the two-seater was campaigned by amateur racing driver and power boat helmsman David A. Kempthorne-Ley Esq in a variety of events. As well as taking class honours at the August 3rd 1959 Trengwainton Speed Hill Climb, it contested the gruelling Land's End Trial some two years later. Extensively restored by A.B. Price between 1988 and 1995 sporting an extensively overhauled replacement engine, the Jaguar was further improved by the previous owner. Upgraded with a Broadsport five-speed manual gearbox, 9.5-inch diaphragm clutch, halogen headlamps and front disc brakes, it was also treated to a bare metal respray by Body Beautiful Cars Ltd in 2011. Finished in red with red / biscuit interior DJD 870 has been used sparingly whilst in the vendor's care and benefits from a recent service including the fitment of two new six volt batteries.

PLEASE NOTE: The vendor informs us that this vehicle's clutch is 'dragging' when engaging first gear and reverse gears. - One owner since January 1960 - Extensively developed and improved by its long-term engineering consultant owner This fascinating left-hand drive Twin-Cam Roadster has had just one owner since January 1960 - the now retired engineering consultant Tom Boyce who, among other things, is known for successfully co-driving Jean Denton in an MGB on the 1979 London to Sydney Marathon. This adventure gave him access to MG's engineering department as well as its competition parts bin. This now much-developed MGA is the embodiment of the knowledge and contacts he accrued. 'UHM 305' vacated the Abingdon production line in August 1959 and was briefly driven in the UK by it first owner, an A. Weed Esq., before being exported to Canada where it was acquired by Boyce. Well used - even by 1968 it had notched up c.120,000 miles - it had spells in Canada, the UK and the US before finally returning to these shores in 1992. It was in the late 1990s/early 2000s that the MG was treated to a comprehensive body-off restoration, since when it has had little use due the owner's failing health. The Twin-Cam's countless upgrades include: a balanced 1790cc B-Series engine that features Dellorto 45mm twin-choke carburettors feeding a gas-flowed, big-valve cylinder head; competition MGB block with nitrided steel cross-drilled crankshaft; 1750cc Alfa Romeo pistons; baffled sump and external oil cooler; large Ford-sourced clutch mounted on lightened flywheel; Lumenition electronic ignition linked to a competition distributor; MGB close-ratio gear set; 4.88:1 final drive, multi-leaf MGB competition springs, competition drive shafts and anti-tramp bars; MGB front springs, competition dampers; larger radiator; alloy-coiled starter and dynamo; 6-inch rims on standard wheel centres; Jaguar E-Type three-eared spinners; stainless steel exhaust system with straight-through silencer. The vendor currently views the bodywork, Blue paintwork, Red-piped Black interior trim, engine and manual gearbox as all being in 'good' order and is offering the MG complete with very comprehensive history file.

PLEASE NOTE: The heritage certificate confirms the Jaguar was originally issued Coventry registration number 'VWK 129H' before being despatched to British Leyland, New York, USA. Sold new in America this left-hand drive manual 4.2 Coupe is finished in Primrose with a Black leather interior and is understood to be a matching numbers example. Having received much recent restoration work the Jaguar has also been re-painted in its original colour and the interior re-trimmed including new head lining. Attention has been paid to the mechanics too with the braking system being overhauled and new ball joints plus track rod ends fitted. The vendor informs us the engine was checked over and shows 'good' oil pressure, the gear box inspected and new gaskets fitted plus a new clutch and radiator were added. Riding on new wire wheels and tyres with a stainless steel exhaust system the Jaguar has resided with the British vendor in Spain for the past few years and is offered with Heritage Certificate, collection of invoices and EU import paperwork.

- Subject to an extensive mechanical and body work restoration completed last year - 38,500 recorded miles and just 2 previous keepers - Offered with original handbook and service book The Escort was a 36-year-long success for Ford of which there were six generations, yet survivors of certain models are now surprisingly few and far between and, according to the vendor, this extremely-smartly presented 1300 Sport is one of just 24 or so examples currently licensed for the road. An October 1976 build, it's had just three owners, the most recent of whom treated it to an extensive two-year-long mechanical and body restoration by the RSC Body Centre of Market Drayton, which included a glass-out respray in its original colour of Signal Orange. He now considers the bodywork, paintwork and engine to be 'excellent', the manual gearbox 'very good' and the (original) Black cloth interior trim 'good'. The Escort is displaying a total mileage of 38,500 and is offered complete with original owners' manual and service book, photos and dialogue of the work carried out, V5C and MOT valid into July.

The first owner of this handsome Continental was Patrick Greenhous, the then chairman of the large motor group Vincent Greenhous Ltd. It was specified with heavy gauge chassis, manual aerial, and electric windows complete with emergency handle. The factory build sheets confirm the chassis being despatched to Mulliner Park Ward on February 25th 1965 and the Bentley being collected by a representative of the supplying dealer, Charles Attwood Ltd, on the ensuing June 4th. At this stage the Continental - 1 of just 58 right-hand drive examples bodied by MPW to design number 2006 - was finished in Valentine's Ming Blue and trimmed in a combination of Off-White Connolly leather, and Beige carpet and headlining teamed with a Dark Blue Everflex hood. The keeper's son evidently recalls the Bentley replacing an Aston Martin DB5 Convertible; also being collected from Radley College in the Bentley and being taken to lunch at The Bear, Woodstock. The Bentley was evidently one of numerous special cars owned by Mr Greenhous, that included a Lamborghini and Jaguar E-Type as well as several Rolls-Royces that he used with and without the presence of his chauffeur. By 1987 the Bentley was in the US, where it was reputedly registered 'ABT 475' and employed as a wedding car - the certificate of title notes the mileage at this time was 37,900. Two years later it was sourced by Bentley specialist Edward Hamilton on behalf of Mr Roger Taylor of Essex, whereupon it was returned to the UK and re-registered 'NME 86C'. During this period it was maintained by Hamilton as well the renowned marque specialists P&A Wood. It was while engaged in a Bentley Drivers' Club event that the car met its next keeper, Mr Roger Fowler of Worcestershire, who retained it for just over a year before selling it with 63,000 miles displayed to TV executive and producer John Ranelagh of Cambridgeshire on May 14th 1996. He in turn covered 6,000 miles in six years before trading it in to dealer Cars International, from whom it was acquired by businessman Mr Philip Derby of Surrey on April 25th 2002. It was during his care that the Bentley was treated to a 27-month long refurbishment by the Fullbridge Restoration Company. It was stripped to bare metal and all corrosion removed before the body was primed and refinished in its original livery of Valentine's Ming Blue. The trim was carefully refurbished and new carpets and hood installed. The brightwork was replated as required, new valve guides fitted to the engine, and all other mechanical parts checked and seen to as required. It was at this stage that air conditioning was installed in anticipation of some hot Continental motoring. Fullbridge's total bills added a further £50,000 to the purchase price of £45,000. The finished vehicle was subsequently employed on a number of Continental tours before the engine was overhauled in 2005 by Bentley Pangbourne at a cost of £18,646. Having provided pleasure for Mr Derby, the Bentley was consigned to a de-humidified bubble from 2007 until April 2012, at which point it was acquired by its most recent keeper. Following an extensive overhaul that included a new steering box, he and his wife enjoyed a 14-day round trip to the Monaco Grand Prix with no problems whatsoever. Now under used, this lovely Bentley is being made available for a new keeper to benefit from. It is being sold complete with an MOT valid to March 14th next year and 18 past ones confirming the current indicated mileage of 91,501. 'DUJ 888C' is one of those motorcars that will cut a dash wherever it goes and could continue to appreciate in the process.

- Family owned for over 35 years - 80% restored, engine running, body sound - USA car, complete with comprehensive collection of parts Rolls-Royce of America Inc was established to bypass the swingeing import duty that had hitherto restricted its parent company's transatlantic sales. Operating from factory premises in Springfield, Massachusetts, the new concern initially built carbon copies of the famous 40/50hp model. However, as time progressed so its product became more attuned to the US market. The beautifully wrought ladder frame chassis and enviably smooth 7428cc straight-six engine were little altered but later cars featured a three-speed, centre gearchange manual transmission and left-hand drive (interestingly just 600 or so of the 1,703 Springfield Silver Ghosts completed were to LHD specification). Designed to woo existing Packard, Cadillac and Pierce Arrow customers who had little truck with the idea of a chassis only purchase, a catalogued range of Rolls-Royce Custom Coachwork was soon made available. The various designs were given British names and subcontracted to the likes of Amesbury, Biddle & Smart, Holbrook, Locke, Merrimac, New Haven, Smith-Springfield and Willoughby. Visually distinguished by its rakish windscreen, just twenty-five examples of the undeniably handsome six-light Berwick Sedan are thought to have been made. Rumoured to have previously belonged to an American peanut farmer, chassis S298PK was purchased by the vendor from Steve Lovatt of renowned marque specialist Ristes Motors during the late 1980s. Treated to a meticulous `body off, chassis up' restoration thereafter, much of the work was carried out by the vendor's son (an ex-Ristes' employee). Albeit, his former mentor was called upon to fully overhaul the engine (number 21984). Unfortunately, the refurbishment has yet to be completed and while considerable attention has self-evidently been paid to the body frame, paintwork, dashboard, wood veneer door cappings and running gear etc, the seat frames need re-upholstering and sundry other jobs completing. Recently returned to running order by Ristes, this rare left-hand drive Springfield Ghost cries out to be finished.

- Very rare 1933 model-year only tourer with period competition history - First owned by the vendor in the 1960's and reacquired in 1991 - Restored from the chassis up at he cost of over £100,000 Arguably the handsomest Riley 9 derivative, the two-door Lynx Tourer was only current for the 1933 season. Sporting half the door count of its successor not to mention an elegant 'disappearing hood', the short-lived model was notably rakish and low-slung. Powered by a 'sports' version of the Coventry marque's advanced 'twin-cam' four-cylinder 1087cc engine mated to four-speed manual transmission, the four-seater enjoyed a level of performance that belied its 9hp tax rating. Based around a ladder-frame chassis equipped with all round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and bias-adjustable drum brakes, the Riley was known for its crisp handling too. Built to special order complete with a bespoke dashboard, chassis 6021101 was collected from the factory by first owner Herbert Way Esq. A solicitor by profession, Mr Way was also a keen motorist and participated in several of the Riley Motor Club's 24-hour Rally and Reliability Trials (badges for which adorn the front of 'RV 3333'). An accompanying period photo of the Lynx in action shows some minor damage to the offside running board and one hypothesis is that safety concerns may have prompted Mr Way to commission the 'straight top' doors and pillar-mounted spotlight which it retains to this day. Remaining with its first keeper until 1956, the Riley was taken off the road and laid-up in a barn some eight years later. In between times the two-door Lynx briefly belonged to the vendor - then an art student - who ran it for a memorable summer before his father intervened. Advertised for sale in Motor Sport magazine by Andrew Booth of Orchid Cars, 'RV 3333' re-entered the current ownership during 1991 for the princely sum of £10,500. A long overdue 'ground up' restoration was begun later that decade. Renowned marque specialist Blue Diamond was entrusted with refurbishing the chassis, gearbox, front / rear axles, steering, brakes and suspension, while Hamlins Engineering of Bridgwater overhauled the original powerplant with Sprite camshafts and Brooklands inlet / exhaust manifolds etc John Foy Ltd of Royston was tasked with renovating the ash frame and repairing / renewing the alloy bodywork as well as re-trimming, re-wiring, re-painting and generally finishing the car. The project stalled when the vendor's wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer but recommenced during 2012 and was completed in time for his 70th birthday celebrations last January. Used on an often daily basis since then, the Riley has covered some 4,500 post-rejuvenation miles. Refinished in its original Maroon livery and having had over £100,000 lavished on it (aside from the cost of re-acquisition), 'RV 3333' is considered by the vendor to 'surely be the best Lynx in the world'. Thanks to the efforts of Mr Way's nephew, the Riley's history file not only contains a plethora of restoration invoices but also numerous period photos and even his uncle's 1933 RAC badge.

PLEASE NOTE: This lot has been NOVA declared by the vendor. He has also volunteered to pay the admin fees for Peter Anderson of Imported Vehicle Registration to UK road register the car on behalf of a new owner should it remain in the UK. This very smartly presented right-hand drive 964 Turbo has been domiciled on the island of Jersey since new, a five by nine mile dot in the English Channel the Porsche could no doubt span in minutes if the laws allowed. It has had just two previous owners and is finished in an eye-catching shade of White and trimmed in White-piped Black leather. Its 14 stamp service record evidently supports the currently indicated mileage of 87,000 and shows the maintenance to have been carried out by just two garages - a Porsche main agent and an independent specialist. The Turbo benefits from having been treated to a main agent service earlier this year and an MOT that remains valid into March 2017. The car comes with paperwork providing its NOVA number and proof the VAT owed has been fully paid, and is currently considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, flat-six 3.3-litre engine and five-speed manual transmission, and a 'very good' standard of paintwork. An appreciating asset. Porsche's 964 Series of cars was produced between 1989 and 1994. It was penned by Benjamin Dimson and featured significant styling revisions over the outgoing 993 model, the most obvious of which were the more integrated bumpers. The first turbo version of the newcomer appeared in March 1990. A turbocharged derivative of the 3.6-litre M64 engine had yet to be developed, so it was initially powered by a revised version of the 3.3-litre unit previously found in the 930 model. In its latest guise it was smoother, less prone to lag and more powerful - the figures were 320bhp at 5,750rpm and 332lbft of torque at 4,500rpm - sufficient to whisk the Porsche to 60mph in 5.0 seconds and on to a top speed of 167mph. Total production of the 3.3 Turbo Coupe amounted to 3,660 worldwide.

- Early pre-production example of the iconic Capri 3.0 S - Driven by Lewis Collins' character 'Bodie' in 'The Professionals' Series 2 - Restored in the current ownership - Tartan Plaid Fishnet Recaro interior with Silver Paintwork - c.77,300 miles with current MoT and records of its film work If cars could talk, Capri 'VHK 495S' would have quite a story to tell, for it found fame as the mount of hard man CI5 agent William Bodie in the second Series of ITV's much-vaunted Series 'The Professionals'. It was one of three pre-production Capri S's that formed part of Ford's 1978 press fleet of c.150 cars, and was placed on a 10-month loan to the Series' producers, Avengers Mark 1 Productions, along with: an RS2000 for Bodie's sidekick Ray Doyle (Martin Shaw) and Granada for their boss George Cowley (Gordon Jackson). The arrangement was part of Ford's ongoing commitment to the programme that commenced towards the end of Series 1 and continued to the last of its 57 episodes. The part of former mercenary turned SAS trooper Bodie was played in swashbuckling style by the late Lewis Collins. Both he and Shaw were trained to handle their cars in chase sequences and Collins insisted on being behind the wheel whenever possible. Finished in Strato Silver complemented by an Orange and Black plaid fishnet Recaro interior, the Capri wore the fake registration 'UOO 303T' when on camera, and starred in a total of seven episodes before being returned to Ford and pensioned off. The internet is alive with information about such hero cars and separating fact from fiction is never easy. Suffice to say that 'VHK 495S' is understood to have been extensively restored (and is believed to have been reshelled) in the 1980s, and further refurbished and repainted in its original shade of Silver some three years ago. The vendor presently classes its bodywork as 'excellent'; the paintwork, V6 engine and manual gearbox as 'very good'; and the interior as 'good'. Aside of TV it has featured in various magazines and Bob Rocca's book The Professionals - automotive TV stars don't come much bigger! The vendor has informed us that a proportion of the sale proceeds will be donated to Cancer Research in memory of Lewis Collins.

In 1925, Vauxhall was bought by General Motors for $2.5 million with the intention of producing high volume, lower-priced vehicles in the UK; a strategy which would successfully save the company during the Great Depression. Having been designed prior to the GM takeover, making it 'British' in construction and plan, the 20/60 was announced on 28th September 1927. Available as a saloon, limousine, tourer or cabriolet, it represented an affordable entry to the luxury market and notably was the first six-cylinder Vauxhall to be marketed for under £1,000. Initially fitted with a 2762cc OHV engine, which was later enlarged to 2962cc, the 20/60 also boasted a four-speed manual gearbox, all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. In production for just three years and reputedly capable of nigh on 70mph, it was replaced by the Vauxhall Eighty. Supplied by Graham Bros (Motors) Ltd and first registered on 24th April 1929, 'VM 8474' spent some of its life in Southern Ireland, before returning to the UK. Self-evidently the subject of past restoration work but having been stood for the last few years, it would benefit from a degree of recommissioning. Exempt from MOT, it is offered for sale with current V5/C registration document.

PLEASE NOTE: Further background information has been kindly forwarded to us by Keith Williams, a friend of the the Wilkins brothers' nephew: Brothers Henry and Edward Wilkins were the sons of the founder of Servis washing machines - Walter Wilkins. Henry owned a collection of some 22 mainly pre-war cars (Rolls-Royces and Bentleys amongst them), while he and his brother Edward also restored cars to help fund the upkeep of the collection. Much of the restoration work was carried out by Cliff Long in the workshops at Henry's home, Brockton House, Shifnal, Shropshire. This example was restored as a present for Edward's son Charles Wilkins on his 21st birthday. Charles died around 2011 and the Bentley passed on to his wife Debby following his death. - Built as a 21st birthday present for the previous owner by ex-Servis factory owners - One of just four believed produced - Manual transmission, wind-up windows Built as a 21st birthday present for the previous owner by two brothers who were ex-owners of the Servis washing machine factory in Birmingham, this MkVI special is understood to be one of just three or four built by them. Finished in blue with black leather interior and blue carpet, wind-up windows and folding hood help to keep things civilised for both driver and passenger. A fitted tool kit and storage area are incorporated into the rear trunk which sits in front of the twin rear-mounted spare wheels. Acquired by the vendor in 2011, the car has been used sparingly during his ownership. He currently rates the body and paintwork as "average", informing us the engine "runs fine" and that the gearbox is "good". Displaying some 67,290 miles on its odometer at the time of cataloguing, KYU 777 is offered with Swansea V5 document and is expected to be driven to the sale venue from Suffolk.

This delightful little lefthand drive Fiat Nuova is essentially a three owner car. Its first keeper bought the little Fiat for his wife before selling it to his work colleague for 400,000 lire in 1973. It then remained unused for many years in dry storage until the decision was made to restore the Fiat which commenced last year. The original engine and gearbox were overhauled and the engine enlarged from 499cc to 595cc with the carburettor being replaced. Attention was also paid to the brakes, new shock absorbers fitted and shod with new tyres. The vendor inform us that the bodywork has been restored and repainted in its original colour and all other items were removed and sand blasted before being painting and new seals fitted. As a result the vendor presently grades the bodywork, Blue paintwork, Red interior trim, two-cylinder engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'excellent' order.

At the top of many a wish list the Type 35 is arguably the most significant Bugatti ever made inspiring various imitations, including those manufactured by Teal (Thistledown Engineering Automotive Limited) from the mid-1980s onwards. This example is finished traditionally in blue with matching blue upholstery, and is wonderfully detailed with numerous extra louvers and scoops, knock off 18" wire wheels and leather bonnet straps. With further nice touches including a side-mounted spare wheel, 'engine turned' bulkhead / dashboard, wood-rimmed steering wheel, external handbrake, period Jaeger style dials, heater and Brooklands aero screens. The Teal is said to be "great fun" to drive with a convincingly Vintage feel and the vendor describes "NSL 199M" as being "very good" in regards to the B series 1800 engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim and paintwork.

- Extremely rare survivor and owned by the Escott family for most of its life - Highly desirable twin-cam engine and four-speed manual gearbox shared with the later 'Grand Sport' two-seaters - Sympathetically restored including a thorough mechanical overhaul, new fabric body covering (over some of the original wood frame) and re-wiring etc Hailed by some as the Bugatti of the cyclecar world, Salmson won an incredible 550 races and set ten speed records from 1921-1928 (at events such as the Bol d'Or, Le Mans 24 hours, Targa Florio, Spa 24 hours and Brooklands 6 hours etc). A renowned aero engine manufacturer, the French company developed its first twin overhead camshaft motorcar powerplant in time to win the Third Grand Prix de l'U.M.F. Cyclecars at Le Mans on September 17th 1921. Introduced the following year, the Salmson D-Type was the very first series production Touring car to be offered to the public with a 'twin-cam' engine. A landmark in motoring history, the newcomer could be had with a choice of two open and two closed bodystyles (though, the majority of buyers opted for the Open Four-Seater Tourer). Interestingly, Dirk Bogarde's father had a very attractive D-Type Saloon which he drove at Brooklands during the summer of 1926 (Ref: p.7 'Great Meadow An Evocation' by Dirk Bogarde, 1992). The only D-Type 'Grand Sport' Torpedo Tourer known to have survived, chassis 25855 was ordered by the UK concessionaire SMS London on October 4th 1924 (though, delivery would not be made for another eight months). Issued with the London registration number 'YL 394' on September 5th 1925 when purchased from Gordon Watney & Co Ltd by Mrs C.W. Escott, the Salmson would spend the majority of its life in her family's care. Kept on the road throughout World War Two albeit with painted-out brightwork, the D-Type was subsequently laid-up during the 1950s. Pleasingly retaining its original twin-cam engine and rare four-speed manual gearbox, chassis 25855 finally left the Escott family's ownership some twenty-five years ago. Acquired by a marque enthusiast with the intention of carrying out a 'ground up' restoration to original specification, he sadly died before much work had been completed. Determined that the Torpedo Tourer's highly prized 'Grand Sport' drivetrain would not fall prey to a special builder, the vendor - a renowned Salmson historian - then took over the project. Original body frame timbers were salvaged where possible and the car re-skinned in Pearl Grey fabric with new Black leather upholstery, Wilton carpets and front / rear double duck tonneau covers being fitted too (a copy of the factory build record shows that the car was finished in Gris Perle when new). The original engine was thoroughly overhauled with a new block and pistons. Displacing some 1400cc, the four-cylinder unit is fed by correct-type twin Solex carburettors which reportedly 'give a useful boost to effortless cruising'. Attention was similarly paid to the highly desirable four-speed manual gearbox (which gained a new clutch), brakes, suspension and original wire wheels. The latter feature RAF hubs and were rebuilt prior to being shod with new tyres. A new loom was installed with authentic pattern wiring and the brightwork re-plated. The original supplier's plaque and switch panel were restored along with the superb Marchal headlights and white-faced OS instruments. Starting readily upon inspection and deemed by the vendor to be in 'very good overall' condition, this extremely rare and appealing Salmson has completed several trouble-free trips to France. A rare opportunity to obtain a lovely example of the French Grand Marques but at the fraction of a cost of a comparably rare Bugatti.

- Terry McCann's famous 1977 Ford Capri 2.0 S from the hit TV series Minder - Not only driven by Terry in the opening sequence but also at various times during the series - Recent bodywork restoration and bare metal repaint in its original Ford polar white , new vinyl roof and interior refresh at the cost of £7,800 - Extensive mechanical overhaul including brakes, suspension, service and wax oiled at the cost of over £5,000 - 88,700 recorded miles and offered with an advisory free MOT into March 2017 Dennis Waterman has enjoyed a long and successful acting career that took off with the role of DS Carter in 'The Sweeney' and was furthered by that of Terry McCann in 'Minder' - another Euston Films Series in which he not only played the likeable bodyguard (minder in London slang) to unscrupulous used car salesman Arthur Daley (George Cole), but sung the theme tune - 'I Could Be So Good For You'. The MKII Capri offered here was first registered on January 25 1977 and is the actual car driven by McCann in Minder's opening titles and at various times throughout the Series, which ran from October 1979 to March 1994. 'SLE 71R', which was voted the '28th Greatest TV Car Ever' by Sky TV viewers, was reputedly acquired by a gentleman from Kent after Euston Films had finished with it, and is rumoured to have come close to being scrapped at some stage before belonging to John Hill of Capri Club International from 1991 to 2014, when it was purchased by the vendor. He now regards the body, White paintwork, 2.0-litre engine and manual transmission as 'excellent' and the Black interior trim as 'good', and small wonder as: £7,800 has recently been invested in bodywork restoration, a bare metal repaint in the original colour of Polar White, new vinyl roof, and refresh of the interior. The famous Ford has also benefited from over £5,000 worth of mechanical fettling involving attention to the brakes, suspension and wheels as well as a service and Waxoyl treatment. Currently displaying 88,700 miles, the Capri is being offered with: a collection of old MOTs, plus an advisory-free one into March 2017; invoices for all the work carried out; not to mention the possibility of also acquiring its automotive co-star - ie Arthur Daley's famous Jaguar from the same hit Series. A once in a lifetime opportunity for TV buffs everywhere! The choice of a Capri for former professional boxer turned minder Terry McCann was an interesting one. Though having served time in prison, he was cast as being basically honest and loyal, and his repeated attempts to find a better job suggest a degree of ambition. This linked nicely with the Capri, the model dubbed by Ford as 'The Car You Always Promised Yourself' - ie one for the young, aspiring mainly male driver. Launched in 1969, it was an all-new model range for the Blue Oval - a Coupe that was intended to reproduce in Europe the success of the mighty Mustang in the US - ie our pony car. And a success it most certainly was, with no less than 1.2 million sales accrued for the MKI version. The MKII model like the Minder car was launched in 1974. It was an example of gentle evolution rather than revolution, via which Ford heeded the lessons imposed by the oil crisis and attempted to make their popular Coupe better suited to the needs of the time. The revised model was treated to a shorter bonnet, larger cabin, more modern facia and smaller steering wheel. Most significantly, the Capri now gained a hatchback rear door making the stowage area far more easily accessible and giving rise to a boot space of 630 litres. The engine powering the Minder car was the 2.0 single overhead camshaft Pinto unit, that in standard form produced 98bhp at 5,200rpm and 112 lb ft of torque at 3,500rpm. This drove through either a four-speed manual gearbox or C3 three-speed automatic. The result was no supercar, but a lively performer that allowed Terry to stay out of trouble - at least some of the time!

- 1 of just 974 RHD S1 Fixed Head Coupe 2+2 cars made - Black leather, Bodywork restored / repainted in the previous ownership - Manual gearbox, Heritage Certificate Jaguar's immortal E-Type underwent its first major surgery in 1966 when, feeling there needed to be a version in which customers' children could share the E-Type experience, Jaguar introduced the 2+2 Fixed Head Coupe. A rear bench seat was accommodated by increasing the wheelbase by nine inches and adding two inches to the roofline. The airy 2+2 benefited from the same fully independent suspension, rack and pinion steering and disc brakes as its two-seater sibling. By now, the E-Type range was powered by a 4.2-litre version of the company's DOHC, straight-six, developing a quoted 265bhp. Finished in Red with Black leather upholstery, 'NFW 811F' is described by the vendor as being in 'very good' condition with regard to its 4.2-litre engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim. Showing three former keepers to its V5C document, the Jaguar was entrusted to Andy Marshall of Mansfield for a bodywork refurbishment and respray during the previous ownership. Boasting its original engine plus an electric fan, Heritage Certificate and chrome wire wheels, this rare Series I 4.2 FHC 2+2 has also been recently treated to a front vented discs upgrade by Fossway.

PLEASE NOTE: New photographs of this vehicle were taken after the description was written which show the chrome sill strips in place. - Recently imported from America and now UK registered and MOT'd - Left hand drive, red leather, recently repainted, and engine serviced - Reportedly 'very good' (interior, gearbox) to 'excellent' (body, engine, electrics) The 190SL was introduced in 1955, the year Mercedes-Benz swept all before it on the Mille Miglia with the 300SLR, and 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 a monocoque construction. The 190SL also boasted an all-new engine, an over-square SOHC straight-four unit of 1897cc that produced some 105bhp, which was sufficient to propel the car to a maximum speed of 112mph. The engine was coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox operated by a lever between the seats. The suspension comprised double wishbones and coil springs at the front and a coil-sprung swing axle at the rear. Steering was by recirculating ball and braking by power-assisted drums all round. Built to the highest standards and among the quickest comparable cars of the time, the 190SL featured a well-appointed cockpit, notable comfort for its occupants and relatively generous luggage space. Under the circumstances, even the steep asking price did nothing to deter purchasers. The convertible could be ordered with or without a removable hard top. There was also the option of a third seat that was placed transversely behind the front ones and big enough to carry an adult. The 190SL continued in production until 1963, when both it and the 300SL were replaced by the Pagoda. By this time over 25,000 190SLs had been built. This example of Mercedes-Benz's beautiful 190SL was imported from America by the vendor in 2015 and was immediately subjected to a repaint, the works of which were still to be completed during our photography; the chrome sill strips will be fitted before the sale. The vendor states that the paint is "new" and the body that it was applied to is "excellent" and features "great shut lines". The engine is also described as being "excellent" and reportedly features "great oil pressure" and we are informed that it will have a service before the sale. With UK registration having recently been granted by the DVLA this beautiful Mercedes-Benz just awaits a new owner and the summer motoring season ahead.

'7491 PE' was manufactured on January 9, 1962 and finished in a combination of Spa White and Black trim before being delivered to Lankesters of Kingston-upon-Thames. A complete body and engine restoration was carried out in 1992/1993, at which point the car was repainted its current shade of Red. The vendor acquired this apparently very tidy Triumph in March 2007, since when it has been garaged and regularly driven around 1,500 miles per annum. Any known rust was cut out and new wings fitted in 2010, while more recently the TR4 has been treated to a new alternator, distributor, battery, tyre, and an overhaul of the carburettors. In the last few weeks the overdrive has been checked and repaired and the vendor now classes the paintwork and manual transmission as 'excellent' and the bodywork and engine as 'very good'. '7491 PE' comes complete with immobiliser, boot rack, trickle charger and Heritage Certificate.

- 9,300 miles from new - Recently imported from Florida and fettled by marque specialist P.J. Grady (Europe) including attention to its fuel injection, water pump, ignition system and cooling fans not to mention the re-graining of its stainless steel bodywork - Original owner's manual, letter from second American keeper to warrant mileage, UK V5C Registration Document, MOT'd till Feb 2017 Automotive history is packed with intrigue and tales of failure and success. That of the De Lorean marque is among the most fascinating and recently took another twist with the announcement of an intended return to production. Such news can only further heighten interest in those remaining of the 8,583 produced originally, of which the sale car would seem to be a particularly desirable example. It hails from the first year of production, yet boasts just 9,300 miles from new. It was recently imported from Florida and then treated to £1,400 worth of expert fettling by marque specialist P J Grady (Europe), during which attention was paid to the car's fuel injection system, water pump, ignition system, cooling fans and hand brake, not to mention the re-graining of the De Lorean's unique stainless steel bodywork. 'NNT 583W' is now being offered complete with the original owner's manuals and wallet, a letter from its second American keeper warranting the mileage, UK V5C registration document, an MOT valid into February 2017, and a selection of other items of relevant paperwork. Immortalised by its starring role in the film Back to the Future, the DMC-12 was the sole product of the DeLorean Motor Company that manufactured cars in Dunmurry, Northern Ireland from January 1981 until entering liquidation at the end of the following year. Impossible to confuse with any other car, it was penned by Italian maestro Giorgetto Giugiaro and notable for its gullwing doors and unpainted outer panels. Following pre-production problems, the vehicle was largely re-engineered by Lotus, resulting in a backbone chassis and running gear very similar to that of the Esprit. Power came from a rear mounted 2849cc V6 engine provided by the Peugeot-Renault-Volvo consortium. This gave 130bhp when tuned for the US market - the region in which most examples were sold.

PLEASE NOTE: We are advised the vehicle has just had a further belt service as the bill for the previous one carried out in 2015 could not be found. The invoice will be available for inspection in the history file. PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is now registered as F310GWT. - LHD example finished in Rosso red with tan / cream interior - Original spare wheel, original jack and roll and some tools - 37,780 miles, belt service in 2015 and recent engine service - Very clean, well presented car ready to enjoy Introduced at the September 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Ferrari 328 featured a transversely mid-mounted 3185cc 'quad-cam' 32-valve V8, developing 270bhp and 224lbft of torque, allied to five-speed manual transmission giving suitably authoritative performance (0-60mph: 5.5 seconds / 158mph). Recently imported to the UK, this LHD example is finished in Rosso red with tan / cream interior and displays some 37,780 miles on its odometer. We are informed the car spent most its life in the Texas and Indiana sunshine up until 2006 when it was imported to Canada. Since then it has been in the same ownership for the past 10 years. Most of the maintenance was carried out by an ex-Ferrari mechanic in Ontario. A cambelt service was performed in 2015 and an engine service carried out earlier this year for which invoices are on file. The car will be UK registered in time for the auction and offered with a fresh MoT. Described as being a very clean, well presented car which is ready to enjoy, it is accompanied by the original spare wheel, original jack and roll, pouch, service & owner's manuals and some tools.

- Desirable RHD manual transmission example - c.49,500 miles, wheels recently refurbished - Silver with Grey leather interior, current MoT Porsche's 996 evolution of the venerable 911 concept was manufactured between 1998 and 2005 and represented the most significant single update of the 911 family since its introduction in 1964. The company's first supercar of the modern era, the most fundamental change was the move from air-cooled to water-cooled engines, in the interest of increasingly stringent noise and environmental regulations. Making its debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September 1999, the 996 Turbo was powered by a 420bhp 3.6-litre flat-six engine (derived from Porsche's 1998 Le Mans winning GT-1 car) which was capable of propelling the four-wheel drive chassis to 60mph in 4.2 seconds and on to a nominal top speed of 190mph. This tidy-looking right-hand drive, manual transmission example is finished in Silver and trimmed in Grey leather. Displaying some 49,500 miles on its odometer, it has been in the current ownership since 2010. Works known to have been carried out include a remap by Fearnsport of Silverstone in 2009, replacement of the centre and side radiators in 2009 and more recently refurbishment of the road wheels. Fitted with air-conditioning it is described by the vendor as having "good" bodywork, with minor marks to the paintwork and interior trim whilst the engine and gearbox are said to be "all fine". Offered with Swansea V5 document, current MOT to September 2016, security key, spare key and owner's wallet. The current cherished registration number is being retained.

According to its accompanying Heritage Certificate, 'JPP 652C' is a home market Healey built between May 18 and 20 in 1965 before being delivered to the supplying dealer H A Saunders of Finchley, London. It was a well specified example whose factory-fitted equipment included overdrive, laminated windscreen, wire wheels, adjustable steering column, heater and tonneau cover. It was apparently converted for rally use in 1968, at which point it seems to have gained the Works engine XSP2157-3, complete with correct inlet manifold and numbered trio of 45DCOE Weber carburettors (the sister engine XSP2157-2 is understood to be fitted to '767 KNX', the famous 1964 lightweight Works MKII 3000). A set of Works magnesium wheels were procured at the same time - ie during the closure of the BMC Competition Department. The Healey was owned by the same family from 1976 to 2015, the head of which purchased it to use in Lloyds of London Car Club events. Around 1991 he had it overhauled and converted to a friendlier road specification for his retirement, at which point it is thought the aluminium cylinder head was replaced by a ported and polished steel example. This keeper passed away in 1992, following which the car remained virtually unused until purchased from his son by the vendor in 2015. Recent recommissioning has included a new fuel pump and battery and overhaul of the carburettors and braking system, plus new fluids throughout. This interesting 3000 nowadays features a roll-over bar and side exit exhaust and is now offered complete with the aforementioned Heritage Certificate, DVLA ownership print-out, photo of the vehicle in 1976, current V5C and fresh MOT certificate. It is presented in Ivory White complemented by Blue trim and hood and currently displays a total mileage of just 26,658 which, though unwarranted, is believed by the vendor to be correct. PLEASE NOTE: The vendor has advised the following are included in the sale: - Tonneau cover- High ratio diff unit- Original fitted Lucas spotlights- Old MoT certificate- Austin Healey 3000 manual- Overhauled original distributor- Instruction manual for 8 track stereo

- Highly convincing Dino GTS powered by a mid-mounted Alfa Romeo V6 - Many original Ferrari parts including Dino speedo/rev counter - Original style Campagnola wheels and freshly MOT'd The original Dino 246 GTS were V6 mid-engine sports cars produced by Ferrari and sold under the Dino marque between 1968 and 1974. The Dino 246 was the first Ferrari model produced in high numbers with their value's increasing year after year. This Evocation has been built using molds taken from an original Dino and is one of the best we have ever seen with power coming from a mid-mounted Alfa Romeo V6 engine mated to a 5 speed manual gearbox. Finished in "Ferro Grigio Metallizzato" with a Cream and Black interior many original Ferrari parts have been used including a Dino speedo/rev counter. Riding on original style Campagnola wheels the Dino is offered with cherished registration number 'F3 NSJ' which is currently on retention. The vendor now grades the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork, gearbox and interior trim as 'Very Good' and is offered with an MOT certificate into February 2017.

PLEASE NOTE: The estimate on this vehicle is now £24,000 - 28,000. By their very nature Lotus / Caterham Sevens tend to get well used and often abused, so to find a 1962 example in fine original fettle with lovely continuous history is rare indeed. 'NCM 320' is, however, the exception that proves the rule. Among the car's massive history file is the original June 1962 invoice from Lotus Components to first owner David Holgate of Birkenhead for the body kit that totalled the princely sum of £260. There is another one of the same date from Racing Engines Ltd for the 1340cc Cosworth power unit, close-ratio gear set, electric fan, sidescreens, tonneau cover, rev-counter, set of Avon Turbospeed tyres, heater unit, sealed beam headlamps, workshop manual and flashing indicators that came to £296 and 5 shillings. Also among the extensive paperwork is the buff log book that shows how the Lotus passed in relatively quick succession from Holgate to H. O'Brien, D. Aukland, R. Liptrot, and C. Whalley before being acquired by C. Webb of Liverpool in 1972, who retained it for 34 years. Little used for the last five of those, it was then restored by Kelvin Jones Motorsport, with assistance from the original chassis and body manufacturers Arch Motors, and sold by Mike Abbas Classic Cars to the Phillips family for Oliver Phillips to race in HSCC events. The file features numerous bills from RW Racing Services who prepared / improved the car for them, until it passed to marque specialist Paul Matty Cars and was purchased by the vendor in 2009. Resplendent in Blue with a Yellow nose cone and trimmed in Red vinyl, the little Lotus nowadays rides on Minilite-style alloys and is still powered by the 1498cc pre-Crossflow Cosworth unit that supplanted the original engine back in 1965. A rare opportunity to acquire such a genuine unmolested Seven S2 complete with HSCC Identity Form.

- A very early example of the popular Proteus Jaguar C-Type Evocation - Jaguar XJ6 4.2 based with manual transmission - A wonderfully attractive and patinated motor car We are very grateful to the vendor for supplying the following description: It is believed that this car was built in the early 1980's, making this one of the first examples produced by Proteus. These early cars are widely regarded to be of a better quality than later cars. Finished in British Racing Green with black leather upholstery and green carpet inserts. The car is in very good overall condition, the bodywork, paint finish and interior are in keeping with a car of its age. There are one or two blemishes to the paintwork, however the 'patina' only adds to this cars charm and authenticity. It really is a lovely example. Owned and cherished for many years by a member of the Vintage Sports Car Club (VSCC) this car has been enjoyed when the weather permitted and has not been used in anger on circuits or hill climbs. Engine: Equipped with a 4.2 litre Jaguar straight six, and twin SU carburettors. This car performs very well indeed, it has been cared for with no regard to cost. These engines are inherently torquey. This, along with the overdrive system make this an astonishingly competent long distance tourer. Interior Detail: The interior is an accurate representation of an original C-Type, with period dials, switchgear and Moto-Lita 'Classic 4' steering wheel. The leather seats have subtly faded, resulting in a level of 'age' that suits the car perfectly. Suspension & Brakes: 'Spax' adjustable suspension front and rear. Disc brakes to the front provide very effective braking power. This stunning motorcar is to be sold complete with UK V5 logbook, an MOT certificate expiring January 2017, and a history file containing past invoices.

- 1 of 2,069 US specification 911 S Coupes made for the 1976 model year - Original Silver Metallic livery (936-9-3) - Florida car used at the vendor's holiday home before being imported to the UK - Considered by the vendor to 'drive superbly' and to have 'a rust-free body' - Recent mechanical refresh with engine gone through / checked over and supporting bills This tidy-looking 911 is one of 2,069 left-hand drive US specification 911S Coupes made for the 1976 model year. It was based at the vendor's Florida holiday home before being imported to the UK and granted the registration 'NOC 143P' in September 2015. The Porsche is presented in its original colour of Metallic Silver (code 936-9-3) and trimmed in Black. The vendor informs us that it 'drives superbly' and has a 'rust free body', and he currently classifies the bodywork, paintwork, flat-six engine and five-speed manual transmission as 'very good' and the upholstery and carpets as 'good'. The car has benefited from a recent mechanical refresh, during which the engine was given a thorough checkover. The 911 is now offered complete with electric sunroof, Black-centred Fuchs alloy wheels, bills supporting the recent work, and an MOT valid to September 9th 2016. After a lengthy gestation period, the now ubiquitous Porsche 911 entered production in 1964 and, despite Porsche's own attempts to replace the model with the 928 in the 1970s, much evolved versions of it remain in production to this day, 52 years later. The design was the work of Dr Ferry Porsche's eldest son, Ferdinand 'Butzi' Porsche, and the company's joint founder and chief body engineer Erwin Komenda. The model initially featured rack and pinion steering and both torsion bar suspension and disc brakes all round and was powered by a dry-sump, air-cooled, 2-litre, flat-six engine which was overhung at the rear and allied to a five-speed manual transmission. In 1968, the 911's wheelbase was increased by 57mm, and the rear overhang reduced by the same amount. Engine capacity increased in stages over the years to 2.2, 2.4 and, by 1973, 2.7 litres. As fitted to the 911S this developed 175bhp at 5,800rpm - an output reputedly sufficient for 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds and 142mph.

PLEASE NOTE: The vendor has informed us that this vehicle is accompanied by the original steering wheel, jack, tool kit, handbook and operators manual. - Believed to have been sold new in America - Acquired by the vendor in Connecticut in 2015 and now registered with the DVLA - Reportedly having a recommissioned air conditioning system and retrimmed interior Famously launched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type has become a motoring icon. Built as a monocoque with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine, its combination of all round independent suspension and disc brakes allied to rack and pinion steering gave it excellent road holding and handling capabilities. Introduced in 1968, the Series II cars were distinguishable by their revised bumper and light arrangements. Less noticeable was the increased size of the front air intake that in conjunction with dual cooling fans made the Series II better behaved in hot weather and heavy traffic. With its 4235cc engine developing a quoted 265bhp and 283lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of nearly 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.5 seconds. This left hand drive 4.2 Coupe is believed to have been sold new in America and was reportedly acquired by the vendor in early 2015 from a car dealer in Connecticut, USA. He was told that the car had been restored in around 2008 and that the previous owner had spent about $11,000 on a top-end engine refresh, the fitting of a stainless steel exhaust system and the fitting of triple SU carburettors, although the car arrived in the UK with no documents to support these claims. Upon repatriation in 2015 the E-Type was registered with the DVLA and various recommissioning works were reportedly carried out such as an overhaul of the air conditioning and braking systems, the application of five new tyres, and the fitting of a new leather and vinyl interior. The engine is described by the vendor as being in excellent condition with the remainder of the car described as being in very good condition with cold air conditioning. The file contains a copy of the Connecticut Title and the car has a valid MOT certificate that expires in August 2016.

This interesting and attractive Z1 features Metallic Blue bodywork teamed with a Cream/White leather and cloth interior. It was purchased new in the Sultanate of Oman, where it was maintained extensively to June 2000 (38,179 km) by AL Jenaibi International Automobiles LLC in Muscat, the BMW dealer for the Sultanate and is believed to have been originally owed by the Sultan of Oman. By November 2001 the car had found its way to these shores and granted the UK registration 'H542 OEE'. It was at this point it was purchased by the vendor from Astle BMW of Scunthorpe and we are told it is the only Z1 to be fitted with both a Heater and Air-Conditioning from the 8,000 made making it extremely rare. Having always been garaged during his ownership the BMW has just received a full mechanical service and bodywork refurbishment by marque specialist Munich Legends including the installation of new front wings and a driver's door skin. Having only travelled just over 4,000 miles during his ownership he now considers the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, straight-six engine and manual gearbox to all be in 'excellent' order and 'H542 OEE' is offered with a collection of invoices, original service book and a fresh MOT. H&H are indebted to the vendor for the following information: - BMW Dealer in Muscat, Oman, National Automobiles, Al Jenaibi International Automobiles LLC, BMW Dealer in Muscat, Oman, which records the following: - Free pre-delivery check on 19 November 1990. - Running-in Inspection performed at 2,297 km on 28 December 1990. - BMW Oil Service performed at 13,644 km on 29 August 1995. - BMW Inspection performed at 18,596 km on 18 October 1997. - BMW Oil Service performed at 21,535 km on 2 November 1999. - BMW Oil Service performed at 30,349 km on 22 January 2000. - BMW Inspection performed at 38,179 km on 13 June 2000.

- Much expenditure in the current ownership - Walnut dash, retrimmed red leather interior and respray in BRG - Engine overhaul by Gordon Dale & Beacon Hill Engineering, few miles since Introduced in 1946, the MKVI was Bentley's first post-WW2 model. Aimed at the emerging 'owner-driver' luxury car market, it was fitted with a freshly developed 4257cc engine mated to four-speed manual transmission. Suspension was independent by coil springs at the front and by leaf springs at the rear. Braking was by mechanically-assisted drums all-round. Unfortunately, the variable quality of steel available in the post-WW2 period meant that the MKVI's Standard Steel Saloon coachwork rarely lasted as long as Crewe had intended, and by the mid-1960s there were a good number of mechanically strong but cosmetically untidy cars running around. Dating from that time onwards, the tradition of building Bentley MKVI-based Specials is long and proud. This extremely attractive MKVI special is understood to have been converted by Michael Walker's Garage, (Rolls-Royce & Bentley specialists) of Woking, in the early 1980s when owned by an R J Stephenson. Subsequently passing to his son, M Stephenson, it was acquired by the vendor in 2011. RKM 233 has been maintained regardless of cost whilst in the current ownership, works carried out include a respray in BRG, re-trimming of the interior in red leather and the fitment of a walnut dashboard. Invoices on file dated 2009 relate to refurbishment of the SU carburettors and an engine overhaul by Gordon Dale and Beacon Engineering. Only around 2,500 miles have been covered since. Equipped with full weather gear and a tonneau cover (unused), aero screens and fold-flat windscreen, the car further benefits from the fitment of a recent set of wire wheels. Looking every inch the sporting Bentley special, the car is accompanied by a Swansea V5 registration document, assorted old MoTs and invoices relating to the build.

- 1 of just 351 Series II examples made - Supplied new via Raymond Mays to Rowland Hunt Esq. of Aswardby Hall, Lincs - Uprated with a later Series engine during the 1960s (copy logbook from 1968 quotes the current engine number) - Significantly improved during the current ownership including a respray in California Sage Metallic, top-end engine overhaul (big valve cylinder head) and extensive suspension / brake / steering fettling - Part of a European collection for over 20 years Debuting at first the Paris and then London Motor Shows of 1958, the Aston Martin DB4 was a world class high-performance GT. Some four years in the making, its gestation was overseen by the marque's Technical Director John Wyer. Working alongside Carrozzeria Touring of Milan, Harold Beech developed a robust sheet-steel platform chassis which could accommodate the Italian coachbuilder's 'Superleggera' or 'Super Light' method of body construction (whereby hand beaten aluminium alloy panels are fitted over a cage-like structure of small-diameter support tubes). Equipped with independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a Watts linkage located 'live' rear axle and four-wheel disc bakes, the model was powered by a new all-alloy DOHC straight-six engine. Displacing 3670cc thanks to its 'square' bore and stroke dimensions (92mm x 92mm), the sophisticated powerplant was designed by Tadek Merak. Interestingly, the Polish-born engineer is thought to have fought Wyer's wishes for a more competition friendly 3-litre unit and to have initially favoured cast-iron construction. With a quoted 240bhp and 240lbft of torque on tap, the two-door fixed-head also boasted a four-speed all-synchromesh manual gearbox as standard. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds, 0-100mph in 21 seconds and 140mph, the DB4 won rave reviews from the likes of Autocar and Motor magazines. Despite a well stocked dashboard, finest Connolly hides and thick carpets, the refinement of early cars was compromised by wind roar at speed. Frames were quickly adopted for the side windows as a result and the 2+2 progressively refined through five series (a process that also saw it put on weight). Introduced in January 1960, the Series II variant was distinguished by its front-hinged bonnet, flat glass opening rear quarter lights, uprated front brake callipers and increased oil sump capacity. Of the 1,110 DB4s made, just 350 are thought to have been Series II cars (chassis DB4/251/L to DB4/600/R). According to its accompanying copy Aston Martin Ltd (AML) Build Sheet and Service Records, this particular Series II example - chassis number DB4/415/R - was supplied new via Raymond Mays to Rowland Hunt Esq. of Aswardby Hall, Spilsby on November 11th 1960. Acquired by watchmaker Bentima Co Ltd of 168 Old St, EC1 the following April, a copy continuation logbook on file shows that ownership later transferred to James Mario Elliot of Carlisle Place, SW1, Brenda Diane Making, Anthony Elliott and C. Benge (interestingly, the latter three all quoted 28 Carlingford Road, Morden, Surrey as their address). The same document also reveals that the DB4 was upgraded with a later series powerplant during the 1960s (engine number 370/894 supplanting 370/487). Early DB4 engines were prone to failure hence the reason that Aston Martin added an oil cooler to its specification as the model evolved. Part of a private European collection from the late 1980s through till 2014 when it entered the current custodianship via the Landmark Car Co Ltd, chassis DB4/415/R has since been substantially improved. Treated to a 'top-end' engine overhaul including replacement big valve cylinder head by Motronic Automotive Services of Iver at a cost of some £9,411.47, the four-seater was subsequently despatched to marque specialist Chicane Classics for over £30,000 worth of attention to its steering, brakes, front / rear suspension, exhaust and tyres etc. Cosmetically enhanced via a respray in California Sage Metallic, the Aston Martin started readily upon inspection and is understood to have covered some 500 post-fettling miles. Trimmed in Black leather as per its build specification and reunited with its original registration number 'SCT 415', this rare Aston Martin DB4 Series II is offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document, copy build record, copy continuation logbook and numerous restoration bills / invoices.

Unveiled at the 1957 London Motor Show, the Elite (Type 14) was Colin Chapman's first production road car and also the world's first fibreglass monocoque. The specification included F2-derived all-round independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes (inboard at the rear). Powered by a Coventry-Climax SOHC four-cylinder engine mated to four-speed manual transmission, its amazing 0.29 cd allowed all but the basic variant to claim a top speed of over 120mph. The work of Peter Kirwin-Taylor, aerodynamicist Frank Costin and John Frayling, the coupe's super sleek silhouette is still considered a masterpiece. This series 1 Elite comes to the market for the first time in over 50 years. Originally supplied direct from the factory to Ashmore Bros of West Bromwich. The Ashmore family were a well-known and highly successful racing family who reached the dizzy heights of Formula One in the 1960's in a Lotus 18. The Elite was owned by the Ashmore Bros until the most recent owner is recorded taking title to the car in 1966. In 2006 a full body off chassis restoration was started. The work was fully photographed and a detailed photographic and financial record of the rebuild is supplied with the car. The total cost of restoration was £44668.08. The bodywork and various other tasks were entrusted to renowned specialist Paul Matty amongst others. The matching numbers engine was rebuilt some 200 miles ago by the Climax specialist John Smirthwaite. The car sits on new chrome wire wheels and looks superb in silver with black leather trim. The vendor reports it to be running perfectly with no faults and it is accompanied by a substantial history file including the original green logbook. This Elite represents the rare chance to own one of the most iconic cars of the period presented in superior condition with interesting history and only two owners.

- Restored example with low chassis front axle fitted - Retaining it's Zenith carburettor, refurbished Autovac system - All weather gear and ready for touring "In brief, the two-litre Lagonda may be said to combine the lively performance of a sports car with the quiet manners and convenience of a tourer, the result being a vehicle which is a sheer delight to handle, while it will convey four people in comfort over long distances at a high average speed" (Autocar, 16th December 1927) Some two years after its 1925 Motor Show launch, the Lagonda 14/60 morphed into the Two-Litre High Chassis model. Built around a sturdy ladder frame chassis equipped with semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes, it was powered by the same 1954cc engine as its predecessor. Designed by Arthur Davidson, this imposing looking four-cylinder unit featured twin high-mounted camshafts and fully machined hemispherical combustion chambers. Developing some 60bhp @ 3,500rpm, it was mated to a four-speed manual gearbox and gave a top speed of between 70mph and 80mph. First registered on 28th July 1928, a letter from the Lagonda Club advises this example passed through the hands of Dobsons of Staines (Lagonda's outlet for trade-ins) in 1934, and by 1948, was owned by F R Ponsford-Jones of Co. Meath. He owned a number of Lagondas and decided to make one good one using parts from others in his collection. He fitted two-seat DHC coachwork which was replaced by touring bodywork around 1960. Fitted with a low chassis front axle and Z-Type rear axle, it retains its Zenith carburettor whilst benefiting from a refurbished Autovac system. Complete with all weather gear and ready for touring, PK 2611 is understood to have been restored on the Isle of Wight by an aircraft engineer around 1990 and has been in the current ownership since 2009. A previous winner of the Robbie Hewitt Trophy for best Lagonda at Brooklands, this lovely example is accompanied by a copy article of the 1940s build by Mr Ponsford-Jones, instruction book, restoration photographs, assorted invoices and a Swansea V5 document.

- In current ownership for 30 years - Restoration project completed in 2012 - Part of a small private collection kept in dry storage Though '822 VMU' has no recorded history, it is an extremely attractive example that has remained within its current ownership for no less than 30 years, as part of a small private collection. A June 1959 model, it has recently been the subject of a prolonged nut and bolt restoration that was eventually completed in 2012, since when the total recorded mileage is just 27 miles. The bodywork was professionally repaired and then painted to what the vendor describes as 'the highest standard' in Iris Blue. All the car's mechanical and electrical components were either restored or replaced - to the original specification wherever possible. The 948cc A-Series engine was rebored and equipped with new pistons, reground crankshaft, new bearings, standard specification camshaft, timing chain and sprockets, rocker shaft, oil and water pumps. The only diversions from standard specifications comprised the common and popular: fitting of the improved cylinder head type 12G295; replacement of the original SU carburettors with 1.25-inch ones; installation of the superior 'ribbed' gearbox driving through a 1098cc type flywheel and clutch assembly. The original seats and interior trim were all reupholstered in Navy Blue vinyl and a replacement hood made to match. All five original steel wheels are fitted with new Continental tyres. The vendor describes the fully refurbished Sprite as 'meticulously detailed' and unsurprisingly classes the two-seater bodywork, interior trim, paintwork, venerable A Series engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being 'excellent'. He is now offering the Frogeye complete with V5C, colour-matched storage bag for the sidescreens, BMC toolkit, original jack, driver's handbook, photographic records of various restoration stages and a substantial file of invoices. The Frogeye was launched in Monte Carlo immediately prior to the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix. Some 49,000 were built between then and 1961, when the model was replaced by the more conventional-looking MKII Sprite.

- 1 of just 488 UK supplied examples - First owned by a member of the Rothschild family - Four keepers from new and in the vendor's custodianship for a total of over 30 years Heavily influenced by the Dino 206 GT Berlinetta Speciale concept car (a thinly disguised 206 S sports racer) which Pininfarina had unveiled at the 1965 Paris Salon, the roadgoing Dino 206 GT debuted in Turin two years later. Compellingly curvaceous and bodied in aluminium over a tubular steel chassis frame, it seemed a fitting tribute to Enzo Ferrari's late beloved son Alfredino. Boasting all-round, independent double-wishbone suspension, Koni shock absorbers, anti-roll bars and four-wheel disc brakes, the newcomer was the first Maranello production design to feature either rack-and-pinion steering or a mid-mounted engine. Although, the 1987cc 'quad-cam' unit in question was the work of Franco Rocchi, its inspiration came via Alfredino and the legendary Vittorio Jano (who between them had convinced Enzo Ferrari of the inherent engineering merits behind a compact V6 as early as 1956). Developing a quoted 180bhp at 8,000rpm, the free-revving powerplant was allied to five-speed manual transmission and promised a 140mph plus top speed. However, despite sensational looks and inspired, race-bred handling, the announcement of an even faster variant at the March 1969 Geneva Motor Show saw 206 GT production cease in August 1969 after just 152 cars. Thankfully, its successor - christened the 246 GT on account of its larger 2418cc engine - retained the same sublime Pininfarina styling (albeit draped over a 60mm longer wheelbase). With a quoted 195bhp and 166lbft of torque on tap, it was reputedly capable of 151mph and 0-60mph in 6.8 seconds. To ease manufacture, the revised two-seater utilized a cast-iron cylinder block and steel bodywork. Inheriting its forebear's cabin architecture complete with steeply raked bucket seats, aluminium fascia, suede-topped dashboard and 'chrome fingered' transmission gate, the model typically rode on Cromodora 'bolt on' alloy wheels. Phased in around mid-1971, the final Series III or Tipo E Dino benefited from revised gear ratios and a different fuel supply system (though, little else was changed). Regardless of Series / Tipo designations, just 488 right-hand drive 246 GTs are thought to have been UK supplied. The tidy-looking right-hand drive example we are delighted to offer here is finished in an attractive shade of Blue Scuro and has had just four keepers from new, one of whom has owned it twice and for a total of over 30 years. It is understood to have been bought new in March 1972 by a member of the Rothschild family. He retained it until 1977, at which point the title passed to a Richard Hughes of Oving near Aylesbury. The vendor first acquired the Ferrari in 1982 and used the Prancing Horse as his daily driver until selling it to a Kim Bowerman in 1989. It was during Bowerman's tenure that a considerable amount of refurbishment was apparently carried out by renowned marque specialist Rardley Motors of Hindhead - this is understood to have included a complete respray, Connollising of the Pale Blue hide interior and a lead-free conversion to the V6 engine. The vendor re-purchased the car in 1994, since when it has been used sparingly and still only displays a total of 63,888 miles. 'RHY 111' was treated to a new Lucas battery only a few weeks ago and the vendor currently classes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and five-speed manual transmission as all being in 'good' order. He is offering the Ferrari complete with a raft of general paperwork and old V5s, tax discs and MOTs, plus the current V5C and a current MOT valid until July 15th; also a copy of the April 2008 edition of Classic & Sports Car for which 'RHY 111' graced the front cover and appeared inside as part of a feature article.

- Original 'matching numbers' car - Original Barker three-position open touring coachwork - Factory-fitted 4 wheel brakes The model upon which Rolls-Royce's reputation as makers of 'The Best Car in the World' was founded, the 40/50hp debuted at the November 1906 London Motor Show. A somewhat conventional yet beautifully executed design, the newcomer was based around a massive ladder-frame chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension, powerful rear wheel brakes and spiral-bevel final drive. Displacing 7036cc (7428cc from 1910), its superlatively smooth six-cylinder engine featured a seven-bearing crankshaft, full pressure lubrication and twelve sparkplugs (fed via a dual magneto / coil ignition system). Allied to four-speed manual transmission (though, a three-speed gearbox was utilised from 1909 to 1913), the sidevalve unit proved both wonderfully torquey and eerily quiet. With a shrewd eye for publicity, Managing Director Claude Johnson had the company demonstrator 'AX 201' (the first 40/50hp to be known as a Silver Ghost on account of its striking livery and silver-plated fittings) take part in both the 1907 Scottish Reliability Trial and an RAC scrutinised 15,000 mile endurance run immediately afterwards. Though made to journey between London and Glasgow no less than 27 times as part of the latter ordeal, a thorough post-event examination revealed that the car had suffered no appreciable wear to its engine, gearbox, rear axle or brakes. Indeed, the only parts that factory mechanics felt compelled to change were: a steering rod tie pin, steering lever ball tip, magneto driving joint, fan belt, petrol strainer and two front wheel pivot pins. Though, as the RAC report on the World Record breaking run stated: "Had the car been in the hands of a private owner no replacements would have been considered necessary". Possessing a legendary eye for detail, Henry Royce continued to develop the 40/50hp throughout its 18-year production life. Thus, late Silver Ghosts boasted considerably more horsepower (up from 48bhp at 1,250rpm to 80bhp at 2,250rpm) and higher top speeds (some lightweight bodied cars were timed at over 80mph) than their earlier brethren. Optional from late 1923 onwards, servo-assisted four-wheel drum brakes became standard the following year. As stated by its accompanying copy chassis cards, this particular example - chassis number 35NK - was bodied as a Cabriolet de Ville (a.k.a. an Enclosed Drive Cabriolet) by Barker & Co. Among the renowned coachbuilder's most versatile and hence expensive designs, it could be configured in fully open, fully closed or Sedanca de Ville positions. Supplied new to Joseph Godfrey Esq. of 54 Porchester Terrace, London W2 on 3rd April 1924, the Silver Ghost returned to the factory some ten months later to be fitted with front wheel brakes and torque reaction dampers. Serving as Chief Liberal Whip in the House of Lords from 1923 to 1944, the Rt. Hon Lord Stanmore of Golding Manor, Laughton became the Rolls-Royce's second keeper in May 1928. Known to have belonged to Ayrid Holm Esq. of Kingsnorth, nr Rochester thereafter and to have sourced parts from the marque's Cricklewood service depot during the 1930s, chassis 35NK subsequently migrated to America. Reportedly restored by custodian Alfred Kohnle in the 1980s, the Silver Ghost then spent many years in the late Frank Cooke's collection. Known on both sides of the Atlantic for his expertise with Rolls-Royce and Bentley motorcars, Mr Cooke was the proprietor of The Vintage Garage in Massachusetts and doubtless worked his magic on the Cabriolet de Ville. Extensively toured by its penultimate long-term custodian Dr Norton J. Bicoll of Santa Fe (another well-known collector), the Silver Ghost returned back to England some years ago. Chassis 35NK has recently had £27,000 spent on her, including a re-trim (Green leather in the front with Beige West of England cloth to the rear) and a mechanical overhaul by a marque specialist. The Rolls Royce is said by the vendor to 'drive beautifully' and to be 'mechanically healthy'. Pleasingly retaining its original Barker coachwork, factory-fitted engine and running gear, this elegant and imposing Silver Ghost is being offered for sale entirely without reserve. Worthy of close inspection and a potential passport to all sorts of prestigious events, chassis 35NK is offered for sale with copy chassis cards, UK V5C Registration Document and sundry other paperwork. Guide Price: £120,000 - £160,000

PLEASE NOTE: This lot has been NOVA declared by the vendor. He has also volunteered to pay the admin fees for Peter Anderson of Imported Vehicle Registration to UK road register the car on behalf of a new owner should it remain in the UK. This lovely-looking F1 Magna is reportedly a 'matching numbers' example presented in its original livery of Black bodywork complemented by a Red leather interior. An accompanying copy of the original guarantee card supplied by University Motors, Plaistow shows the MG's first owner to have been Mr F Mann of nearby London E6, who took delivery of his new vehicle on July 8th 1932. The vendor informs us that the car was the subject of a restoration 10-15 years ago. He grades the six-cylinder OHC engine, four-speed manual transmission and paintwork as 'excellent', and the four-seater bodywork, electrical equipment and interior trim as 'very good'. He further describes the 1271cc powerplant as 'sweet' and the crash gearbox as 'superb'. He is now offering this rare MG (a total of only 1,250 F1, F2 and F3 Magnas were produced) complete with expansive history file, including the Abingdon factory build sheets. It is being presented with a Norwegian logbook but comes with NOVA number and VAT fully paid. A rare opportunity for MG aficionados everywhere. The F-Type Magna range was only produced between 1931 and 1932 and was created to fill the evident gap that existed between the very affordable M-Type Midget and the far dearer 18/80 range of cars. It was effectively a six-cylinder, longer wheelbase version of the four-cylinder D-Type launched at the same time, and therefore featured a newly designed, riveted steel chassis with sliding trunnion suspension, underslung rear axle and centre-lock wire wheels. Though supposedly new, the engine was in fact an extended version of the Wolseley Hornet unit, but equipped with dummy side covers in order to appear to be of fresh design. Its power output was 37.2bhp and it drove to the rear wheels via a straight-cut ENV gearbox. In hood-down guise, the Magna was capable of a creditable 72mph-plus flat out.
