1968 Mercedes-Benz 250 SL Car Year: 1968 Car Manufacturer: Mercedes-Benz Car Model: 250 SL Car Reg No.: NDD250F Car Chassis No.: 1.13043E+13 Car Colour: White H&H are indebted to the vendor for the following description: "Between 1966 and 1968 just 5,196 Mercedes-Benz 250 SLs were built against 19,381 230 SLs and 23,885 280 SLs making the 250 SL the rarest of the W113 Pagoda-roofed Mercedes by quite a long way. `NDD 250F` is one of just 127 250 SLs registered on UK roads at the moment and one of only two manufactured in the final production year of 1968. This example is finished in Papyrus White with matching hard top, Blue Tex trim and matching blue hood, all of which are in excellent condition. The chrome is also in excellent condition both inside and out. Doubtless due to its Mercedes-Benz Service History, the car drives like new (Main Dealer Services 09/72, 09/76 - [New Engine], 08/86, 07/90, 07/91 [Brake Overhaul], 03/96, 03/97, 11/2001 [Recon Cylinder Head], 01/2004 - [Exhaust & Brakes], 02/2006 -[Specialist Injection Pump], 03/2012). `NDD 250F` boasts a Becker Mexico radio cassette upgraded to FM, full tool kit, original buff logbook, 1967 catalogue A book, original owner`s manual, every MOT going back to 1986 and a very detailed history file dating back to its 1968 production year. The vehicle has also benefited from a comprehensive anticorrosion treatment having been extensively Ziebarted throughout, two years ago. The Mercedes was brought out of storage on March 1st this year and given an MOT so it could be enjoyed in the Derbyshire Peak District by the vendor before being driven down to Duxford for its sale, which is a reluctant one and only due to a large project the vendor has taken on".

1973 Porsche 911 T Car Year: 1973 Car Manufacturer: Porsche Car Model: 911 T Car Reg No.: TYY 11M Car Chassis No.: 9113511253 Car Colour: Red After a lengthy gestation period, the ubiquitous Porsche 911 entered production in 1964 and, despite Porsche`s own attempts to replace the model with the 928 during the 1970s, much evolved versions remain in volume production to this day. The original iteration featured rack and pinion steering and both torsion bar suspension and disc brakes all round. It 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. Power output was restricted to 130bhp, though with an all-up weight of just 1,080 kg this was sufficient to provide the newcomer with a 0-60mph time of 8.5 seconds. In 1968, the wheelbase was increased by 57mm, the rear overhang reduced by the same amount and 22lb saved from the engine crankcase - changes that greatly improved the car`s handling. In 1969 the engine capacity was increased to 2.2-litres and hiked once more in 1971; this time to 2.4-litres. The corresponding outputs were as follows: 911T (130bhp), 911E (165bhp) and 911S (190bhp). The revised model also featured the new, more resilient 915 transmission with conventional H rather than dog-leg pattern gearchange. The example on offer is a right-hand drive 1973 911T Targa that sports Red bodywork teamed with a Black interior. The vendor acquired the Porsche in 2003 and informs us that it had been restored by RS Autos of West Kingsdown Kent some 15 years prior; since when it is understood to have covered just over 34,000 miles. These days he regards the bodywork, paintwork, 2.4-litre engine and five-speed gearbox as "good" but considers the interior trim to be only "fair" - there is apparently a hole in one of the seats. This venerable 911 comes complete with a large selection of invoices, tax discs and old MOTs, plus a new one valid until March 2013. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1969 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300 Ti Car Year: 1969 Car Manufacturer: Alfa Romeo Car Model: Giulia 1300 Ti Car Reg No.: CHJ434G Car Chassis No.: AR1039659 Car Colour: Verde Muschio The boxy shape of the 105-Series Giulias belied a low drag coefficient superior to that of similarly aged Porsche 911s. Powered by 1300cc and 1600cc versions of the company`s ubiquitous all-alloy, DOHC, four-cylinder engine, the result was a performance Saloon capable of shaming many sporting two-seaters of the period. It`s perhaps no surprise that good examples of these delightful models are now highly collectable. The specification was straightforward - a four-door, three-box, lightweight (2,205 lbs) body powered by a front-mounted engine driving the rear wheels. The suspension was independent at the front and braking by servo-assisted discs all round. A slick five-speed manual gearbox ensured optimum performance and added to driver satisfaction. The Giulia 1300Ti (Turismo Internazionale) variant first saw the light of day in 1966 and was powered a mildly detuned version of the `twink` from the GT1300 Junior Coupe. Updates for 1968 included revised suspension geometry and rear anti-roll bar and a switch from 15- to 14-inch wheels. The well-presented left-hand drive 1300Ti on sale was manufactured in March 1969 and has had just three keepers to date. Following some light recommissioning by a well-known Alfa specialist - that included a new exhaust and tyres, and some re-bushing of the front suspension and restoration of the wheels - the car took part in the 2010 Alfa Romeo Centenary celebrations in Milan, during which it covered some 2,500 miles. It was then driven to a new home in the UK and re-registered as `CHJ 434G`. The vendor now considers the bodywork, Musk Green paintwork, Tan interior, engine and gearbox to all be in "good" order. He informs us that the coachwork "presents well" and that the underside is "in very good order, having been treated to wax protection". This delightfully original looking classic Alfa is being sold complete with MOT into March 2013. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1924 Rolls-Royce 20hp Tourer Car Year: 1924 Car Manufacturer: Rolls-Royce Car Model: 20hp Tourer Car Reg No.: XR 1292 Car Chassis No.: GF12 Car Colour: Grey Unveiled in 1922, the 20HP was a second string to the Rolls-Royce bow - a shorter, more economical sibling to the Silver Ghost, which broadened the marque`s reach to include the very rich as well as the seriously wealthy. Instantly distinguished by its horizontal radiator shutters (only the last of the line were fitted with vertical ones), the newcomer was constructed around a ladder-frame chassis of 129-inch wheelbase. Power came from a 3127cc straight-six, OHV monobloc engine, that was mated directly to a three-speed manual gearbox operated by a centre-change (the modernity of which caused a degree of controversy at the time of launch!). Suspension was by semi-elliptic leaf springs front and rear. Braking was initially on the rear wheels alone, while steering was by worm and nut. Progressively updated to feature a four-speed gearbox (with more familiar right-hand change!) and servo-assisted all-wheel braking, the `baby` Rolls remained in production until 1929, by which time some 2,885 examples are understood to have vacated the company`s Derby factory. Lighter and more responsive than the Silver Ghost, the 20HP was also capable of exceeding 60mph. Bare chassis were priced at ú1,100, to which all manner of bodies were fitted. This particular example - chassis number GF12 - was supplied new to the high ranking civil servant and businessman, Sir George Barstow KCB. Always fitted with Tourer coachwork, its original Salmons body was supplanted by a more rakish Chamberlain one during the 1950s. Acquired through the renowned Rolls-Royce historian and author John Fasal, `XR 1292` has been in the vendor`s care since 1986. The step-grandson of W.O. Bentley, he informs us that (a) the engine "runs well (though emits some smoke)", (b) the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim are in "good" order, and (c) the Rolls` electrical equipment is "very good with the exception of the ammeter". Currently on SORN, this appealing, four-seater Rolls-Royce is now seeking a new home. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1991 Ferrari 348 TB Car Year: 1991 Car Manufacturer: Ferrari Car Model: 348 TB Car Reg No.: A111CPM Car Chassis No.: ZFFKA35C000091736 Car Colour: Rosso Corsa Introduced at the 1989 Frankfurt Motorshow, the Ferrari 348 had the unenviable task of replacing the best-selling 308/328 duo. A truly innovative design, it was the first Prancing Horse-badged car to utilise a robot-welded sheet-steel monocoque that brought considerable gains in torsional rigidity and dimensional accuracy. Cradled by a separate sub-frame, its `quad-cam` 32-valve 3405cc V8 was longitudinally-mounted and drove the rear wheels via a neatly-integrated transverse five-speed manual gearbox. Developing some 300bhp and 238lbft of torque, the 348 had need of its all-round coil-over wishbone independent suspension, ventilated ABS disc brakes, self-locking ZF differential and rack-and-pinion steering. A near performance match for its Testarossa `big brother` (contemporary road tests spoke of 0-60mph in 5.4 seconds and a 171mph top speed), the two also shared a number of styling cues. Though, the similarity was unsurprising given that both models were clothed by Pininfarina and featured side-mounted radiators. King of the junior supercar league until the arrival of its 355 successor during 1994, the 348 could be had in coupe, targa and eventually spider guises (each variant enjoying leather upholstery, air-conditioning and an adjustable steering column as standard). Finished in Rosso Corsa with Crema leather upholstery, `A111 CPM` is said to have undergone a total of 11 services in the hands of Ferrari agents (one an independent specialist). Apparently the last one included a cambelt change and was carried out by Graypaul Nottingham at 44,000 miles - the odometer now indicates a little over 45,000 miles. This prancing horse`s extensive specification includes: a Thatcham category one alarm, CD system and air conditioning. The vendor considers the Ferrari to be "an absolutely superb example". He further rates its bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and five-speed manual transmission as all "immaculate". The next keeper will be pleased to learn than it is MOT`d until the middle of March 2013. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1999 AC Cobra MkIV CRS Prototype Car Year: 1999 Car Manufacturer: AC Car Model: Cobra MkIV CRS Prototype Car Reg No.: S804BBV Car Chassis No.: CRS9500EX Car Colour: Yellow The AC Cobra MKIV CRS was notable for several reasons. Firstly, rather than an aluminium body it was clothed in F1-style carbon fibre (CRS stands for Carbon Road Series). Secondly, at a launch cost of ú38,950, it was the most affordable Cobra ever. The composite bodies were manufactured by Pro-Tech Motorsport Ltd - an off-shoot of the F3000 racing team owned and run by former disc jockey `Kid Jensen`. The Ford 302 (5-Litre) engine drove through a five-speed manual gearbox. Suspension was by wishbones and coil springs all-round and braking by AP Racing ventilated discs at each corner. The total production run is thought to have been just 37 cars. The left-hand drive 1999 sale car was the experimental prototype for the production CRS (there is a letter from AC Cars confirming this in the vehicle`s file) and as such carries chassis number CRS9500EX, whereas the first production model was designated CRS9501. There are other differences - the carbon fibre tub is hand laid rather than vacuum formed, the front brake callipers are by Brembo rather than AP Racing, the facia is more akin to that of an AC Superblower, and it is equipped with power steering. The bonnet and boot lid are single-skin GRP and the roll over hoops are padded. The powerplant is equipped with GT40 P cylinder heads, Ford MotorSport stainless steel headers and Motor Sport 10mm high performance plug leads. The gearbox is a Tremec five-speed unit that drives through a 3.7BTR limited slip differential and heavy duty half shafts. The specification also includes an aluminium radiator and large capacity fuel tanks. Finished in Yellow teamed with Beige upholstery, this unique and enticing AC was purchased direct from the factory by the vendor and comes complete with: original LHD manual rack, two tonneaus, a hood frame and bows (but no hood cover), a set over-riders and fittings plus an MOT into January 2013.

1966 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe Car Year: 1966 Car Manufacturer: Jaguar Car Model: E-Type 4.2 Coupe Car Reg No.: HEW 88D Car Chassis No.: 1E21334 Car Colour: Red The E-Type`s Malcolm Sayer-penned lines are thought by many to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motorcar. The XK-E as it was known in the USA, made its debut at the 1961 Geneva Salon and from birth was available as a two-seater Fixed Head Coupe or Roadster. Like the XK120, at launch the new Jaguar was the fastest production car of its time - its 3.8-litre straight-six engine allowing a 0-60mph acceleration time of around seven seconds and a top speed of circa 150mph. Despite this, the engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964 and, with the change, came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and more comfortable seats. This right-hand drive 4.2 Fixed Head Coupe departed the Browns Lane factory in 1966 and was reportedly exported new to Hong Kong on behalf of an RAF officer. By 1978 the two-seater is said to have been in the hands of a Chinese national, who moved it to Singapore. It was there that the vendor purchased the Jaguar in 1980/1981 before apparently treating its engine to a rebore; new bearings, pistons, and oil and water pumps; reground crankshaft and camshaft, and overhauled cylinder head. The car was repatriated in 1983, at which point it acquired the current age-related registration. Further refurbishment included: a new fuel tank and steering wheel, an additional fan; some rewiring and a differential check. Another ú2,162 was invested in `HEW 88D` last October in order to recommission it ahead of a MOT test. The Jaguar has still only covered about 1,000 miles since the engine overhaul and very few in UK winters, so it is understood to have remained relatively rust free. The vendor regards the bodywork and engine as "fair to good", the manual transmission and Black leather upholstery as "fair" and the Red paintwork as "poor".

1963 Jaguar MK II 3.8 Litre Car Year: 1963 Car Manufacturer: Jaguar Car Model: MK II 3.8 Litre Car Reg No.: APG401B Car Chassis No.: 231579DN Car Colour: Dark Green Featuring notably slimmer roof pillars than its MKI forebear, the immortal Jaguar MKII was as airy on the inside as it was elegant on the outside. Its monocoque bodyshell was equipped with independent coil-sprung front suspension and a well located live rear axle, 12-inch disc brakes all round and recirculating ball steering. The model could be specified with a 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8-litre version of Jaguar`s race-proved, DOHC inline, six-cylinder XK engine. The interior was quintessentially British with its sumptuous leather-covered seats, polished wood facia and door cappings, comprehensive instrumentation and impressive row of auxiliary toggle switches. The attention to detail and build quality of the MKII were remarkable for the price. Equipped with the 220bhp 3.8-litre engine, the Jaguar was reputedly capable of sprinting to 60mph in 8.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 125mph. Some 30,141 3.8s were produced between 1959 and 1967. Finished in Dark Green with Tan leather upholstery, this particular example boasts a manual overdrive gearbox and chrome wire wheels. Purchased by the current keeper in 1986, it was the subject of a extensive restoration between 1997 and 2001. This included: a bare metal respray during which the colour was changed from the original Golden Sand; the engine was refurbished to standard specification; the original manual gearbox was replaced by a later all-synchromesh unit; the suspension was lowered and rebushed; power steering was added; the bumpers and rear lights were rechromed; the headlining, carpets, facia, wheels, tyres, spinners and radio were all renewed. The vendor not surprisingly now regards the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and gearbox as all being in "very good order". `APG 401B` is expected to have a new MOT by the time of the sale. A fine looking example of a great motorcar. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1951 Jaguar MK V 3.5 Litre Drophead Coupe Car Year: 1951 Car Manufacturer: Jaguar Car Model: MK V 3.5 Litre Drophead Coupe Car Reg No.: JJW 591 Car Chassis No.: 640391 Car Colour: Cream Although press attention was primarily focused on the XK120 Roadster at the 1948 London Motor Show, it was another of the Jaguar stand`s debutants which held the key to the marque`s immediate future. Drawing on the stylistic heritage of its SS Jaguar predecessors, the imposing MKV was embellished via a bold radiator grille, partially recessed headlamps, curvaceous C-posts, rear-wheel spats and distinctive twin-blade bumpers. Destined to underpin many a `Big Cat`, the newcomer`s box-section chassis was equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a leaf-sprung `live` rear axle and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Unwilling to risk using the unproven XK DOHC engine in such a volume application Jaguar chose to fit the MKV with its tried and tested `2.5 Litre` (2664cc) and `3.5 Litre` (3485cc) straight-six units. Developing some 104bhp and 126bhp respectively, these Harry Weslake tuned OHV powerplants were allied to four-speed manual transmission and gave class-leading performance; the 3.5 Litre variant being capable of over 90mph. Available in either four-door saloon or two-door drophead coupe guises, the luxuriously appointed four-seater accounted for some 10,466 sales between January 1949 and July 1951. Though, a mere 977 of those were right-hand drive 3.5 Litre Drophead Coupes. The right-hand drive MKV offered is one of those rare and increasingly desirable 3.5-litre Dropheads that, according to its Heritage Trust certificate, was manufactured on June 29th, 1951 and delivered to the supplying dealer, Attwoods, on July 12th. The accompanying green log book shows it was registered on August 29th of the same year and further history informs us that Richard Place & Co., chartered accountants from East Grinstead, sold the Jaguar to a Mr K W Holliday of the same town on February 8th 1960. He apparently ran the four-seater until 1975 and then stored it until 1991. It was in September of that year that Mr Claude Levi, also of East Grinstead, acquired `JJW 591` for a reported figure of ú18,000. Some ú22,000 worth of restoration was carried out in his care - not least a complete retrim. The Jaguar then passed to a Mr J Linton in September 1997 for the princely sum of ú40,000, at which point the mileage was said to have totalled 39,920. Though the MKV came into the vendor`s possession as long ago as January 2006, the indicated (but unwarranted) mileage still only stands at 44,473. He has used the Drophead Coupe for several events in Lincolnshire and nearby Norfolk as well as selected Jaguar Drivers` Club ones (collecting various awards along the way). He informs us that the car is "a pleasure to drive" and has "very good" bodywork, Cream paintwork, Red leather trim, engine and four-speed manual gearbox. This most charismatic of cats comes complete with sundry tools, old MOTs from the last 15 years and one valid into February 2013. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1986 Porsche 911 Turbo Car Year: 1986 Car Manufacturer: Porsche Car Model: 911 Turbo Car Reg No.: B4 YUW Car Chassis No.: WP0ZZZ93ZGS050356 Car Colour: Red In the early `70s, Porsche had designs on racing a turbocharged version of the 911, in support of which they planned a homologation special along the lines of the Carrera 2.7RS. A subsequent change in the rules negated the need for a precise number of street legal vehicles, but the company continued with the project anyway - the Porsche 911 Turbo (930) was born. The 930 was based around the Carrera 3.0RS, the engine from which was modified courtesy of turbo technology developed for the 917/30 CAN-AM cars. Initially power output was 260bhp, but from 1978 it was increased to 300bhp by raising the engine capacity to 3.3-litres. To accommodate the extra performance over the 3.0RS, the 930 sported revised suspension, larger brakes and a robust, four-speed manual gearbox. In order to help deliver the power to the road, a `whale tail` rear spoiler was fitted and a wider rear wheel / tyre package was squeezed under specially flared arches. From 1985 there was the option of an SE (`Flatnose`) package for the Coupe. It featured a slanted snout, pop-up headlamps and even wider rear arches covering yet wider wheels. Moreover the engine output was raised to 330bhp which, together with the inherently more aerodynamic shape, pushed the terminal speed beyond the 170mph mark. A while later the SE option was extended to the Targa and Cabriolet versions. The right-hand drive 1986 Turbo on offer is seemingly equipped with the SE package (or an imitation thereof) and is finished in Red with a Red leather interior. Currently displaying an unwarranted 54,485 miles, `B4 YUW` comes complete with an extensive service history portfolio confirming some ú20,000 of investment with Porsche main dealers and independent specialists; a total that includes in the region of ú2,300 spent on having the gearbox refurbished in 2005. A rare and very exciting member of the 911 family. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1980 MG B Roadster Car Year: 1980 Car Manufacturer: MG Car Model: B Roadster Car Reg No.: TFE212W Car Chassis No.: GVADJ1AG517966 Car Colour: Red Launched in May 1962, the B was only initially available in Roadster form - the hatchback GT derivative not being offered until 1965. Suspension was by wishbones and coil springs at the front, and a live axle mounted on leaf springs at the rear. Damping was by lever arm units all round. Braking was by discs at the front and drums at the rear. Power came from a 1798cc version of the BMC B-Series engine that produced 95bhp at 5,400rpm. The newcomer`s monocoque construction resulted in weight savings over the outgoing MGA (it turned the scales at 2,028lb), reduced manufacturing costs and notably tauter handling. The MKII model of 1967 brought an updated manual gearbox with revised ratios and synchromesh on all gears, as well as the option of a Borg Warner automatic unit. Other changes included a revised rear axle and a switch from dynamos to alternators. In 1969, Rostyle wheels replaced the previous pressed steel version for standard fit. With the MKIII derivative of 1972 came a new facia and improved heater. However, the biggest visual change in the car`s history occurred two years later when steel reinforced rubber bumpers replaced the chrome ones and the ride height was raised by one inch. By the time Roadster production ceased in October 1980, a total of 399,070 are said to have been produced. Among the last MGB Roadsters made, the rubber-bumpered `TFE 212W` vacated the hallowed Abingdon production line in 1980 and was first registered to a Mr Colin Bayes on January 1st the following year. It sports Red bodywork and a Black interior trim and is equipped with the standard manual gearbox. Reportedly, a three owner example currently showing an unwarranted 57,346 miles, it comes complete with numerous old invoices, some period MG brochures, several old MOTs and one valid into July.

1974 Jensen Interceptor Mk3 Car Year: 1974 Car Manufacturer: Jensen Car Model: Interceptor Mk3 Car Reg No.: HLT355N Car Chassis No.: 9931 Car Colour: Blue Jensen`s striking replacement for the slant-eyed C-V8 first saw the light of day in 1966. It broke some of the firm`s established traditions in that the design was outsourced - to Carrozzeria Touring - and the bodies were made of steel rather than glass reinforced plastic. The early shells were also built in Italy, by Vignale, prior to a production line being established at Jensen`s plant in West Bromwich. Power was initially supplied by a 6276cc Chrysler V8, driving through either a four-speed manual or three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission to an LSD-equipped Salisbury rear axle. The MKII model of 1969 brought revised frontal styling and ventilated disc brakes. Introduced at the October 1971 Earl`s Court Motor Show, the Interceptor III was visually distinguished by cast headlight surrounds, GKN cast alloy wheels and a comprehensively revamped interior and was produced in four Series - G, H,J and S4. By May 1972 the engines on RHD cars had been increased in capacity to a whopping 7212cc. A total of some 6,408 Interceptors were produced between 1966 and 1976. These distinctive-looking Grand Tourers were bought by celebrities as diverse as Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, British Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington and World Motorcycle Champion Phil Read. The previous owner of this J Series Interceptor III purchased it from marque specialist Cropredy Bridge Garage in 1980, with a guaranteed mileage of 12,000. The vendor acquired it in December 2010 but, like his predecessor, has covered very few miles in the car - as a result, the odometer currently still reads just 13,200 miles. In recent times ú12,000 has been invested in new sills, a bare metal respray and gearbox overhaul. `HLT 355N` comes complete with 17-inch Jensen alloys (plus the unmarked originals), rare factory-fitted sunroof, original first aid kit, unused toolkit, unused factory supplied gloves for changing the spare wheel, service history, documented mileage and an MOT into May.

1935 Bentley 3.5 Litre Sports Saloon Car Year: 1935 Car Manufacturer: Bentley Car Model: 3.5 Litre Sports Saloon Car Reg No.: BLY 26 Car Chassis No.: B36DG Car Colour: Black It is a sobering thought. Had Rolls-Royce not purchased its financially troubled competitor Bentley in 1931, the world would have been denied the Continental, Turbo R, Mulsanne and countless other iconic models subsequently graced with the `Flying B`. Of particular loss for many, would have been the coachbuilt Derby Bentleys manufactured between 1933 and 1939. Their chassis was derived from an experimental supercharged 2.75-litre Rolls-Royce (codenamed Peregrine) that never saw the light of day, and power came from a redesigned and tuned version of the company`s 20/25 engine, initially of 3.5-litres (3669cc). Fed by a pair of SU carburettors, it drove through a four-speed manual gearbox. The suspension was by semi-elliptic springs all-round and braking by servo assisted drums. The newcomer was introduced to the public in the appropriate surroundings of Ascot during August 1933, and production of these 3.5-litre cars continued into 1937; by which time 1,191 examples had been produced. The last year`s allocation was manufactured alongside the incoming 4.25-litre (4257 cc) version that would ultimately supersede the 3.5-litre cars. Coachbuilders and body styles were the preserve of the customer and the following are just a few of the illustrious firms engaged to clothe these fine cars: Park Ward, Barker, Vanden Plas, Thrupp & Maberly, Gurney Nutting, H.J. Mulliner, Hooper, James Young and Arthur Mulliner. The Derby Bentley on offer is a 1935 3.5 Litre Sports Saloon by Park Ward. The purposefully elegant coachwork is finished in Black and complemented by a Grey leather interior. `BLY 26` was reportedly treated to a restoration by Nixons of Braintree, Essex in 2006 and is now regarded by the vendor as having "very good" interior trim, engine and gearbox and "good" bodywork and paintwork. The Derby comes complete with working sunroof and is MOT`d through to April of next year. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1970 Aston Martin DB6 Mark 2 Vantage Car Year: 1970 Car Manufacturer: Aston Martin Car Model: DB6 Mark 2 Vantage Car Reg No.: UKX644J Car Chassis No.: DB6MK2/4241/R Car Colour: Bahama Yellow CURRENT OWNERSHIP SINCE 1974, NEVER RESTORED AND 38,000 MILES FROM NEW Entering production in July 1969 but not formally unveiled for another month, the rakishly elegant DB6 Mk2 was the ultimate evolution of the iconic Aston Martin DB4/DB5/DB6 line. Sharing the same sheet steel platform chassis as its immediate predecessor complete with all-round coil-sprung suspension (independent double wishbone front, trailing arm / beam axle rear), four-wheel disc brakes and Armstrong Select-a-ride adjustable rear shock absorbers, the newcomer nevertheless incorporated a host of detail improvements. Sharper and more responsive to drive thanks to wider wheels and fatter tyres (hence the need for its trademark flared wheelarches), the Mk2 also benefited from the provision of standard-fit power assisted rack and pinion steering. Automatic transmission remained a `no cost` option, while cars equipped with the five-speed ZF manual gearbox gained a lower first gear ratio and more positive Borg & Beck clutch. The fabulous Tadek Marek designed 3995cc DOHC straight-six engine could be had with a nascent form of electronic fuel injection. However, the majority of buyers wisely opted for carburettor-fed variants in standard (triple SU, 282bhp) or high-performance Vantage (triple Weber, 325bhp) tune. Indeed so troublesome did the AE Brico EFI system prove that several Mk2s were converted to Vantage specification by the factory. Revised seating both front and rear meant that the last of the classic DB-series family could also lay claim to being the most comfortable. Only in production until November 1970, just 239 DB6 Mk2 saloons are thought to have been made (of which a mere 46 and 71 were reputedly to Fuel Injected and Vantage specification respectively). According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, this particular example - chassis number DB6MK2/4241/R - was completed on March 13th 1970. One of just three DB6 Mk2s known to have been factory finished in Bahama Yellow - a colour made famous by the Aston Martin DBS that Roger Moore`s character Lord Brett Sinclair drove in cult TV series `The Persuaders` - it was the sole member of the trio to roll off the production line with a Vantage engine. Road registered as `UKX 644J` by Buckinghamshire County Council on December 1st 1970, the Aston Martin was despatched to dealer Maurice Leo Ltd six days later. Entering the current ownership on July 3rd 1974 at 31,009 miles, the distinctively hued grand tourer was purchased from sometime Wiscombe Park competitor and commentator C.A.R. Elwell Esq. (the son-in-law of its first keeper). Laid-up between October 1974 and July 1977 due to work pressures, `UKX 644J` has been sparingly exercised ever since save for jaunts to Dunblane, Scotland and Silverstone, Northants. Reportedly "driven on just one wet day in the last twenty years", the DB6 Mk2 Vantage shares garage space with a DB6 Mk1 Vantage sibling. Treated to a stainless steel exhaust and Kenlowe fans during Mr Elwell`s tenure, the Aston Martin has been routinely serviced by the vendor (an AMOC member). Never allowed to deteriorate to the point of needing restoration, `UKX 644J` is quite exceptional in retaining its original factory paintwork, Black leather upholstery and major mechanical components. Starting readily upon inspection and apparently showing over 100lb/sqin oil pressure @ 3,000rpm when warm, chassis DB6MK2/4241/R showed no signs of major structural repair and was notable for the ease with which its bonnet, boot and doors opened and closed. Aside from the microblistering which began to materialise on certain panels during the 1980s, the Aston Martin remains highly presentable (though, a bodywork specialist could doubtless freshen its appearance). Interestingly, a professional chassis inspection carried out on August 1st 1995 failed to unearth any corrosion issues but did prompt a thorough Waxoyling. Older mechanical repairs have included a reconditioned fuel pump, recalibrated rev counter and renewed power steering gaiters, while the past six months have seen the Aston Martin benefit from a new battery, replacement hoses / jubilee clips and five fresh Pirelli tyres. A real testament to Newport Pagnell build quality, `UKX 644J` was chosen by marque historian the late Roger Stowers to feature in the company`s Millenium Calendar entitled `A Celebration of Craftsmanship`. Running on unleaded with a VSP Plus additive following the demise of leaded fuel, the DB6 MK2 is variously described the vendor as being in "original" (bodywork), "working" (electrical equipment), "unmodified" (engine), "working as far as known" (five-speed manual gearbox), "original some microblistering" (paintwork) and "excellent / original" (interior trim) condition. A measure of the care with which the grand tourer has been maintained, its triple Weber carburettors have not needed adjustment for the last thirty-eight years! A true timewarp that would grace the preservation class of many a concours event, `UKX 644J` has covered a warranted 38,800 miles from new. Quite simply the most original DB6 MK2 Vantage we have encountered, this extraordinary motor car is offered for sale with its original cooling fan, handbook, tool kit and jack not to mention a tailored car cover and sheaf of MOTs dating back to November 13th 1974 (the present certificate being valid until January 9th 2013).

1961 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Roadster Car Year: 1961 Car Manufacturer: Jaguar Car Model: E-Type 3.8 Roadster Car Reg No.: 968 YUH Car Chassis No.: 850250 Car Colour: Red With the dust barely settled on their 50th anniversary, E-Types are still a hot topic, and no version more sought after than the immortal Series 1 Roadster. The right-hand drive example offered vacated Jaguar`s hallowed Browns Lane factory on October 26th 1961. It was destined for Hong Kong and despatched to Gilman & Co, the local distributor, on November 8th. At that stage it was finished in Opalescent Dark Green teamed with a Black hood and Suede Green interior. Fast-forward to mid-1984, when it was discovered in a very sorry state in an open courtyard by Cathay Pacific pilot Malcolm Kates, who purchased it for restoration. Progress was such that the project was unfinished when Mr Kates returned to the UK during 1993. The E-type was duly repatriated in a 40ft container along with the family`s household effects and a Ginetta G3 for company. There was a further change of plan on the horizon, however, and by December 2000 the Kates family were on the move once more - first to Hong Kong and then finally to retirement in Western Australia two years later. Not wishing to subject the E-Type to a further tour of the globe, Mr Kates commissioned renowned marque specialist Brian Wilkinson of Zealia Engineering, Newmarket to complete the restoration. This has now happened and the finished car is available for sale for the first time in twenty-eight years. `968 YUH` now sports Red coachwork mated to a Black leather interior. The vendor describes the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, six-cylinder engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being in "good" order, and the E-Type is being offered complete with the original Hong Kong registration book, transfer of ownership form, a letter from Jaguar, invoices for parts purchased in the UK, Jaguar Heritage certificate and MOT valid into October.

1928 Humber 16/50 Tourer Car Year: 1928 Car Manufacturer: Humber Car Model: 16/50 Tourer Car Reg No.: UL 171 Car Chassis No.: 16037 Car Colour: Blue / Black In common with many early British marques, Humber`s roots were in bicycle manufacture, and date back to 1868. The company produced a motorised three-wheeler in 1898 and its first conventional motorcar in 1901. And, though it`s perhaps hard to imagine now, by 1913 it had grown into the second largest UK motor manufacturer. Success continued after WWI, with Humber focusing on dependable family transport - cars noted for the quality of their workmanship. Side valve engines were the Humber norm up to 1922, when the company switched to an inlet over exhaust configuration and it was a six-cylinder, 2.1-litre example that powered the 16/50 model. This beautifully presented 1928 16/50 five-seater, six-cylinder dual purpose Tourer is thought to be one of only 10 such models to have survived out of 223 sold worldwide. The vendor purchased `UL 171` in a totally dismantled state during 1973 and then proceeded to restore the car to its former glory; finally returning it to the road in 1997 - the first time it had been driven for 45 years. The quality of his workmanship has been borne out by various concours wins and the car is now the veteran of numerous rallies. The Humber has been equipped with a higher than standard final drive ratio for more relaxed touring, and indicators for easier motoring in modern traffic. It comes with wind-up windows as well as a full hood and front and back tonneau covers. Humbers are well-known for their very good weather protection for this period. The vendor currently considers this charming vintage tourer to have "excellent" bodywork, six-cylinder engine and four-speed manual gearbox, and "very good" paintwork and interior trim. It has covered some 13,668 miles since the refurbishment and is smartly finished in Blue over Black and trimmed in Blue leather. The MOT is valid into April next year. A rare and eminently usable historic motorcar. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1936 MG SA Saloon Car Year: 1936 Car Manufacturer: MG Car Model: SA Saloon Car Reg No.: BOY 451 Car Chassis No.: SA/0444 Car Colour: Oxford Blue / Silver As a result of MG`s sale to Morris Motors in 1935, rationalisation was the company`s priority during 1935, and all new models shared as many parts as possible with other members of the burgeoning Nuffield Organisation. First off the stocks was the all-new 2 Litre (subsequently dubbed the SA). It was a large car by MG standards that was only available as a four-door Saloon at launch, but subsequently offered in Tourer and Tickford Drophead Coupe guise as well. Power came from a tuned version of the straight-six Morris QPHG OHV engine, initially in 2288cc form but later enlarged to 2322cc - the 75bhp output was sufficient to endow the MG with a top speed of up to 85mph. The unit was mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. Suspension was by semi-elliptic springs all round and braking by Lockheed hydraulically-operated drums at each corner. The newcomer sat on wire wheels and the chassis included an integral jacking system, while the interior was luxuriously appointed with ample evidence of the leather and walnut expected of such quality British cars of the period. A Philco radio was a notable option, and available for the princely sum of 18 Guineas (ú18.90). A total of 2,739 SAs had been produced by the time production was halted by WW2 - the model was never re-introduced. This right-hand drive SA saloon was manufactured in 1936 and is tastefully coloured in Oxford Blue over Silver complemented by a Blue leather interior. The subject of a restoration in the early 1990s, `BOY 451` has recently been treated to a bare metal respray and re-chroming of the radiator grille at a cost of over ú6,000. The dampers, water pump and propshaft have been replaced too. The vendor now regards the MG as being "in good condition for its age". It is MOT`d into July.

1958 MG A 1600 Twincam Roadster Car Year: 1958 Car Manufacturer: MG Car Model: A 1600 Twincam Roadster Car Reg No.: XSU 149 Car Chassis No.: YD3/1312 Car Colour: Orient Red Keen to (a) extract more power from the 1500cc B-Series engine then powering its MGA and Magnette models, and (b) once again create an MG model suitable for competition, BMC began evolving a DOHC version of the four-cylinder unit in 1954. Development was slow, however, and it was not until 1958 that the Twin-Cam MGA finally came to market. The specification of chain-driven camshafts nestling atop a cross-flow alloy cylinder head augured well, and the 1588cc, 108bhp newcomer did not disappoint, reputedly being capable of 0-60mph in 9.1 seconds and a top speed of 115mph. With Dunlop disc brakes all round, the model stopped well too. However, the tardiness of its introduction, early engine maladies and fierce competition from such motorsport-proven rivals as the Triumph TR3 and Austin-Healey 100 saw manufacture curtailed after just two years; by which time only 2,111 examples had been produced, 1,801 of which were Roadsters. Of course with modern knowhow and fuels, the Twin-Cams will run with decent reliability and good examples are now highly prized. The `matching numbers` 1958 Roadster on offer started life as a left-hand drive Federal model. A Californian resident for many years, it was repatriated during the early 1990s and converted to right-hand drive seemingly with assistance (both in terms of parts and advice) from renowned `Twin Cam` specialist Peter Wood. Passing into the current ownership thereafter, the MG is understood to have subsequently benefited from a complete engine and four-speed manual gearbox overhaul by Peter Wood not to mention a bare metal respray, replacement anti-roll bar, new SU carburettors, refurbished centre-lock disc wheels (complete with Dunlop transfers) and some engine bay detailing. The seller informs us that `XSU 149` has only completed some 1,000 miles since the work was finished and now regards the engine and transmission as "excellent", and the bodywork, Orient Red paintwork and Black interior as "very good". A rare opportunity for all Twin-Cam enthusiasts. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1958 Jaguar XK150 3.4 Litre Fixed Head Coupe Car Year: 1958 Car Manufacturer: Jaguar Car Model: XK150 3.4 Litre Fixed Head Coupe Car Reg No.: MFE 789 Car Chassis No.: S824550DN Car Colour: Cream Last flowering of the separate chassis XK sportscar line, the XK150 was introduced in 1957. A more sophisticated and refined design than its forebears, the newcomer benefited from the adoption of four-wheel disc brakes and a more generously proportioned cabin. An effortlessly strong performer, the Jaguar could be had with a choice of 3.4-litre or 3.8-litre DOHC straight-six engines (in various states of tune) allied to either four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. Credited with 210bhp, Special Equipment (`SE`) 3.4-litre models boasted a B-type cylinder head, wire wheels, front foglights and a twin exhaust system as standard. Only in production for four years, the total number of `home market` fixed-head coupes has been estimated at just 1,205. Finished in Cream with Red leather upholstery, this particular 3.4-litre `SE` example was first registered in Lincoln on July 2nd 1958 and has spent most of its life to date in the North of the country. It was acquired by the vendor during October 1997, but later stored for some 10 years before being recommissioned during June 2011. In excess of ú3,000 was invested on new batteries, new tyres, refurbishing the brake callipers and fitting new pipes and hoses etc; the work concerned being carried out by QPrep Engineering Services. Very few miles have been travelled since, hence the sale of `MFE 789` which the vendor regards as having "good" bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and gearbox. Though, he also notes that "the rev counter is not working, the petrol gauge sticks on a quarter full and the inside lower panel of the passenger door could do with a respray". A tempting prospect, the Jaguar is offered for sale with a service manual, various relevant books / catalogues, assorted old MOTs, invoices dating back to 1959 and current MOT certificate valid until June 2nd 2012.

1982 Triumph TR7 Convertible Car Year: 1982 Car Manufacturer: Triumph Car Model: TR7 Convertible Car Reg No.: TPG129X Car Chassis No.: TPADJ7AA402930 Car Colour: Red The Harris Mann-penned TR7 was a major departure from the original TR line, which had steadily evolved from the TR2 launched way back in 1953. Its overtly wedge-shaped monocoque body was initially only available in Coupe guise, the Convertible variant not being launched until 1980. Power came from a front-mounted 1998cc four-cylinder engine that was effectively an 8-valve version of the proven Dolomite Sprint unit. Its output was 105bhp, which was enough to accelerate the newcomer to 60mph in 9.6 seconds and on to a terminal speed of some 112mph. The powerplant initially drove through a four-speed manual gearbox, though by 1976 this had been replaced with a five-speed one and there was also the option of three-speed automatic transmission. Suspension was by MacPherson struts and coil springs at the front and a live axle and coil springs at the rear, while braking was by discs/drums and steering by rack and pinion. This right-hand drive, home market TR7 Convertible sports Red bodywork teamed with a predominantly Tan-coloured leatherette and cloth interior, and is equipped with the five-speed manual gearbox. According to the vendor it has had just two keepers from new and the indicated mileage of 42,700 is correct. He considers the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and gearbox to be in "excellent" order and is selling `TPG 129X` complete with: full tonneau and hood cover; tow bar and accessories; spare wheel and tyre; Haynes manual; TR7 manuals; Rover radio; luggage rack; V5; sundry invoices for work done; most old MOTs from 1987 and one valid into April of next year. The following spares also form part of the lot: fan belt; oil filter; locking wheel nuts; petrol cap; wiper delay unit; distributor cap and points; used clutch master cylinder; used washer pump; and various electrical components.

1973 BMW 3.0 CSL Car Year: 1973 Car Manufacturer: BMW Car Model: 3.0 CSL Car Reg No.: TVD387M Car Chassis No.: 2285497 Car Colour: Fjord Blue The 3.0CSL (E9) was the rock on which BMW`s reputation for superlative drivers` cars was largely founded. It was the homologation special created to gain the company entry into the European Touring Car Championship. In this context the `L` stood for `Leicht` (German for lightness), which was achieved by the use of thinner steel for the monocoque body and aluminium for the doors, bonnet and boot lid. The straight-six engine was primarily that of the 3.0CS but increased in capacity by just 17cc from 2986cc to 3003cc so the factory could contest the over 3.0-litre class. The recipe could barely have been more successful, and CSLs won the ETCC in 1973, and every year from 1975 to 1979 inclusive; not to mention many other races and classes on both sides of the Atlantic. A total of 765 left-hand drive 3.0CSLs were produced between 1971 and 1975, but with right-hand drive examples only manufactured in 1972 and 1973, the total output was limited to just 500 vehicles - models that are keenly sought today. The right-hand drive `barn find` 3.0CSL on offer was manufactured in September 1973 and is equipped with a manual gearbox. It is finished in Fjord Blue Metallic and has a Blue leather/cloth interior complete with the original Scheel sports seats and headrests, plus a Black head-lining. The original three-spoke leather-covered steering wheel remains in place and the BMW rests on a set of 7x14 Alpina alloy wheels. `TVD 387M` has apparently been in the same ownership for the last 26 years and stored to the point of now needing a full restoration. Evidently the engine turns over freely and, unlike most CSLs that have already been restored to one degree or another, this delightfully unmolested example provides a rare opportunity for the discerning collector to create an as-new motorcar - an appealing prospect.

1972/81 BMW 3.0 CSi / `Batmobile` CSL FIA Gp4 Race Car Car Year: 1972/81 Car Manufacturer: BMW Car Model: 3.0 CSi / `Batmobile` CSL FIA Gp4 Race Car Car Reg No.: Un-Reg Car Chassis No.: 2331066 Car Colour: White There have been many titanic duels fought on the world`s race tracks - Prost versus Senna was one of the best among drivers and that of BMW against Ford in the European Touring Car Championship was a memorable manufacturer one that lasted throughout the `70s. BMW`s weapon of choice was its big Coupe, while Ford parried first with the Capri and then the Escort. Sadly for Ford, the record books show victory for BMW in 1973 and from 1975 to 1979 inclusive, with 1974 the only year the Blue Oval prevailed. Munich initially campaigned the 2800CS, switching to the 3.0CSi in 1971. In August 1972 the company created the 3.0CSL homologation special, to allow the Coupe to compete in the over 3-litre class the following year. In its final form the model could be had with a comprehensive aero package of large air dam, fins for the front wings, a spoiler that fixed above and behind the trailing edge of the roof, and a monster rear wing that gave rise to the car`s nickname of `Batmobile`. With hindsight, enthusiasts recall all the successful racers as being genuine CSLs. The truth is that many were either 2800CSs or 3.0CSis fitted with alloy panels - a cheaper route to the grid that only resulted in a weight penalty of around 7 kilos. BMW itself apparently created 139 prototype CSLs by fitting alloy panels to lightened 3.0CS shells - examples of which are by all accounts now exceedingly rare. The precedent was therefore set many years ago and a number of similar cars have subsequently been created for historic racing, of which the sale Batmobile is a case in point. It was constructed in 1981 around a 3.0CSi shell by BMW racing guru Chris Randall (Zaprace) for his own use. For a while it then passed into the hands of Tim Busby who, among other things, switched it from right to left-hand drive and campaigned it in the iconic Luigi racing colours. Following Busby`s death, Randall bought the car back and re-engineered it before selling the BMW to Nick Whale. Nick Whale is known to have invested a lot of money in the car with Techspeed Motorsport, who equipped it with all the correct brake and suspension components, plus air jacks, centre-lock wheels and a reliable Lester Owen engine that produced some 350bhp running on Kugelfischer fuel injection. He and Ian Guest successfully campaigned the car throughout Europe for 10 years, running it in both Patrick Peter`s Endurance Series and the Masters championship for Post-Historic Touring Cars. They also finished 1st in Plateau B of the 2006 Le Mans Classic. In 2010 the car was acquired by the vendor who ran it last year in the Masters and Legends Series, paired with Chris Conoley of MASS racing. Their results were: - Masters at Donington - 4th overall and 1st in class - Legends at Donington - 3rd overall and 1st in class - Legends at Portimao - 5th overall and class winners - JD Classics Challenge - overall winners The seller currently regards the car`s 3498cc straight-six engine and five-speed manual gearbox as "excellent", and the bodywork, Works BMW liveried paintwork and racing interior as "good". The BMW is being sold complete with FIA HTP papers and numerous spares, and is eligible for the 2012 Le Mans Classic as well as the Legends, Masters and Youngtimers series. These days it would need a very considerable investment to build a `Batmobile` of this quality and a fair bit more again to sort it into a competitive car. This example has been winning races for 30 years and is ready to continue the habit this season. A rare opportunity. Click Here to view this item on www.i-bidder.com

1997 Aston Martin DB7 Car Year: 1997 Car Manufacturer: Aston Martin Car Model: DB7 Car Reg No.: R626HBA Car Chassis No.: SCFAA1116WK101895 Car Colour: Blue Although Victor Gauntlett had long mooted the idea, it took the arrival of Ford money and TWR Group know-how for a new generation, `small` Aston Martin to become reality. Unveiled at the March 1993 Geneva Salon, the DB7 revived the nomenclature of the much vaunted and now highly collectable David Brown Astons of the `50s and `60s, but had been subjected to more testing and development work than any of the marque`s previous models. As Ford also owned Jaguar at the time, the newcomer was based on a modified XJS platform and, though the memorable styling owed much to the stillborn Jaguar F-Type, the final look was crafted in-house Ian Callum. Power came from a supercharged, Jaguar-derived, straight-six DOHC unit of 3.2-litres capacity, that delivered 335bhp and 361lbft of torque. This was sufficient to propel the 1800kg 2+2 to 60mph in 5.7 seconds and to a top speed of around 165mph. The engine was mated to either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic gearbox. The body structure comprised a steel monocoque chassis part clad with a mix of steel and moulded plastic panels. The luxurious interior was dominated by Connolly hide and walnut. Post July 1996 examples featured twin air bags and revised switchgear, seats, steering, brakes and suspension. They also had steel rather than the composite bonnets of the Series 1 cars. Some 7,000 DB7s were manufactured between 1994 and 2003 - by far the most of any Aston model to date. The DB7 was superseded by the DB9. This DB7 Coupe was manufactured in 1997 and is equipped with the automatic gearbox. Its Blue bodywork is complemented by Blue/Cream leather trim and Beige carpets. It currently displays an unwarranted 42,338 miles and is considered by the vendor to have "good" bodywork, paintwork, trim, engine and transmission. It is MOT`d into October.

1988 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante `X-Pack` 6.3 Car Year: 1988 Car Manufacturer: Aston Martin Car Model: V8 Vantage Volante `X-Pack` 6.3 Car Reg No.: F968NPG Car Chassis No.: SCFCV81V7KTR15745 Car Colour: Blue Hailed as the world`s fastest four-seater convertible upon its launch at the October 1986 Birmingham Motor Show, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante proved capable of 0-60mph in 5.4 seconds and 164mph. Utilising much the same sheet steel platform chassis, independent front suspension, De Dion back axle, ventilated disc brakes and power-assisted rack and pinion steering as its tin-top sibling, the newcomer possessed even greater road presence thanks to a menacing front air dam, prominent rear `flip tail` spoiler, extra wide wheelarches and dramatic sill extensions. Available with a choice of five-speed manual or automatic transmission, the V8 Vantage Volante could also be had in US emissions friendly fuel-injected or high-performance `X-pack` (580X) guises. Those cars built to the latter specification shared their specially reworked 5340cc `quad cam` V8 (four 48mm Weber carburettors, Cosworth pistons, larger inlet ports and higher lift camshafts etc) with Aston Martin`s contemporaneous limited edition V8 Vantage Zagato flagship. Arguably among the ultimate interpretations of this legendary V8 Vantage Volante `X-Pack` series, `F968 NPG` was first registered on 29th November 1988. Returning to the famous Newport Pagnell factory the following year to be fitted with a handling kit and straight through exhaust pipes, it was further upgraded by Works Service and marque specialist R.S. Williams during 1992. Belonging to well-known Aston Martin collector and guru Simon Draper at the time, work comprised a conversion to 6.3-litre `Zagato` specification and should have yielded circa 465bhp and 460lbft of torque. As befits so special a powerplant, it is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox rather than an automatic one. Boasting a warranted low mileage of just 32,000, the four-seater is finished in non-metallic Dark Blue complemented by Magnolia leather upholstery. The carpets are Oatmeal and the power hood is fashioned in Dark Blue mohair. The hood bag is finished in Magnolia and, like the seats, piped in Blue. Treated to a new differential, brake discs and callipers not long ago, the Aston Martin is reportedly accompanied by circa ú80,000 worth of bills. During its three-year production run, a mere 167 examples of the V8 Vantage Volante were built. Of these, 58 were left-hand drive export models fitted with the less powerful Weber Marelli fuel injection engine. That means only 109 were supplied with the full `X-Pack` (580X) unit, of which 30 had automatic transmission and 79 sported manual transmission. All this makes `F968 NPG` a pretty rare car even before the 6.3-engine conversion is taken into account; the extra cubic centimetres providing a very noticeable boost both in terms of responsiveness and outright performance. Eye-catching alloys, Alpine radio-cassette with remote control, alarm, immobiliser and tracker unit form just part of the car`s impressive specification. The phenomenal success of Aston Martin in recent years has rekindled interest in all the pre-DB7 models, and in an age increasingly dominated by talk of ever smaller-capacity force-fed internal combustion engines, electric motors and fuel cells, there`s nothing quite like the sight and sound of a normally aspirated 6.3-litre V8 to set the pulse racing.

He also later countered the work with an authorized chemical textbook, the Elementa chemicae (1732), which remained the authoritative chemical manual for many years. All copies of the Elementa carried Boerhaave`s autograph signature, attesting to the work`s authenticity and protecting against pirated editions` (Norman). (27)
