Registration - A423 MDYChassis - C66500M.O.T. - June 2024Odometer - 55,400 This eye-catching Morgan is accompanied by a substantial history file of invoices and photographs documenting the extensive body-off restoration to which it was treated in 2019/2020. The 1597cc, four-cylinder Ford CVH engine was completely stripped and rebored; the cylinder head skimmed; the crankshaft overhauled with new bearings; the timing belt, water pump and oil pump replaced; the carburettor overhauled, and a Piper fast road camshaft and new pistons rings, alternator and coil installed. The Ford Type 9 manual five-speed gearbox with long 1st gear was overhauled by specialists Leek Transmission, and a new brake master cylinder, pipes and calipers fitted, along with uprated dampers and springs and a new wiring loom. The body received new door posts and a fresh pair of steel front wings prior to undergoing a full professional bare-metal respray in British Racing Green. To complete the picture, the interior was retrimmed in green-piped cream leather. In total, more than £10,000 was spent on bringing the car up to ‘excellent’ condition throughout, while the wood of dashboard, Moto-Lita steering wheel and gear-knob help retain the period feel that typifies the 4/4. The odometer presently indicates a credible though unwarranted total mileage of 55,397, while MOT records confirm that this very tidy Morgan has covered fewer than 1,000 miles since 2007. Launched in 1936, the 4/4 was the first four-wheeled vehicle Morgan produced, with the 4/4 name indicating four wheels and four cylinders. Production was halted briefly during WWII and from March 1951 to September 1955, other than that it ran continuously until 2018, making the model the world’s longest-running production vehicle. This nimble sports car originally featured a 1122cc Coventry Climax engine, while the Series II 4/4 introduced in 1955 featured a Morgan Plus 4 chassis and 1172cc side-valve engine. Various incarnations followed, leading to the launch of the 4/4 1600 in 1968, to which the 1597cc Ford CVH engine was fitted from March 1982 to November 1991, during which time 1,652 4/4s like the one now offered were built. In summary:A handsome example of the quintessential British sports carThe subject of a well-documented restoration in 2019/2020Subtly modified with fast road camshaft and uprated suspension

Registration - G262 JUHChassis No - SFABXXBAFBLL79780M.O.T. - April 2024Odometer - 30,000 The black bodywork of this tidy-looking XR2i is teamed with patterned grey cloth interior trim and rides on period correct alloy wheels shod with Nankang tyres. It is an eight-keeper example that is currently registering a very modest total mileage of 30,190 (unwarrented), that appears to be supported by its partial MOT history. The vendor informs us that the Ford has just been treated to a service but volunteers there is a slight misfire and some evidence of both oil and coolant leaks. Overall he rates the hot hatch’s bodywork as and paintwork as ‘good’, the five-speed manual transmission and upholstery as ‘average’, and the CVH engine as ‘below average’. The car is now being sold complete with glass sunroof, Pioneer radio/cassette player and a current MOT certificate valid to April 24. After developing through no less than seven generations, Ford’s incredibly successful Fiesta was finally discontinued in June of this year, much to the disappointment of its legions of fans the world over. No less than 22 million examples were sold during the model’s astonishing 47-year reign, 4.8 million of which found homes in the UK, where it was the top selling model for 12 consecutive years (2009-2020) and the country’s best-selling car of all time. From frugal family car to winner of international rallies, Ford’s famous baby has ticked countless boxes in its reign and leaves a very large automotive hole behind it. The XR2i model we’re concerned with here, was a performance version of the MKIII Fiesta that was launched in 1989. It was powered by Fords 1600cc eight-valve OHC CVH engine of 108bhp – sufficient output to accelerate the three-door hatchback to 60mph in around 9 seconds and on to a terminal speed of c.118mph. In summary:An eight-keeper example displaying just 30,190 miles from newJust serviced, and MOT’d to April 24 next yearEquipped with factory sunroof and Pioneer stereo system

Registration - 815 YUKChassis No. - AN5-L/39237M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 6,763 This bonnie specimen was imported from America and first UK registered in March 2012, since when it has had just the one registered owner - ie the late father of the vendor, who we gather lavished a considerable level of time and money on the car. It apparently started life in yellow, but is now resplendent in dark blue, that’s matched to blue interior trim, an (as yet unused) red hood, and silver-painted wire wheels. The vendor informs us that the Frogeye was campaigned in speed hillclimbs while in the US, hence the conversion to knock-off wheels and what is thought to be a 1275 rather than the original 948cc A Series engine. He confirms that while in his father’s tenure the car was always garaged and well maintained, and he currently regards the powerplant, four-speed manual transmission, bodywork, paintwork and upholstery as all being in ‘good’ order. He volunteers that the twin SU carburettors would now benefit form a tune-up, but otherwise reckons the Sprite is good to go, and is selling it complete with a brand new battery, tonneau cover, Moto-Lita woodrim steering wheel and history file. Thanks to its prominent, bonnet-mounted headlights, the original Sprite quickly became known as the ‘Frogeye’ - a moniker that has stuck to this day. The little two-seater, designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company and built by BMC at the MG factory in Abingdon, was launched in Monte Carlo immediately prior to the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix. The unique, one-piece bonnet covered a mildly tuned, 43bhp 948cc version of the BMC A series engine already found in the Austin A35 and Morris Minor. The suspension was by coil springs and wishbones at the front and quarter elliptic springs at the rear, with lever arm dampers all round. The construction was ‘integrated’ rather than a full monocoque and featured forward projecting chassis legs of the type used in the E-Type Jaguar. The minimal specification excluded exterior door handles and boot lid. Some 49,000 Frogeyes were built between 1958 and 1961. In summary:One caring UK owner since being imported from the USA in 2012Features wire wheels and Moto-Lita woodrim steering wheelEquipped with an as yet unused red hood and new battery

Registration - G701 HUGChassis No - WF0FXXGBBFKJ11557M.O.T. - May 2023Odometer - 88,055 The white bodywork of ‘G701 HUG’ is matched to grey cloth interior trim, while the Sapphire rides on its original set of silver-painted RS Cosworth lattice-patterned alloy wheels that are nowadays shod with quality Bridgestone Potenza tyres all-round. It is a rear-wheel drive example that returned to the UK a year ago following a 12-year sojourn in the car-friendly climate of Spain. While there, it formed part of a private collection and was housed in an underground garage, thereby avoiding the dashboard damage that so often afflicts these cars when permanently at the mercy of the Mediterranean sun. The vendor informs us that there are no visible signs of corrosion, and he presently considers the turbo engine, five-speed manual gearbox, bodywork, paintwork and upholstery to all be in ‘good’ order. He is now selling this desirable fast Ford complete with a-31 wastegate actuator, stainless steel exhaust system, its original airbox, glass sunroof, Panasonic CD/radio player coupled to a Pioneer multi-changer, and 12 months’ worth of MOT. The odometer currently registers an unwarranted but totally credible 88,055 miles. Released in the September of 1982, the Ford Sierra was a replacement for the ubiquitous Cortina and its German sibling, the Taunus. Always quick to support the performance and motorsport markets, Ford introduced the be-winged XR4i version in 1983. This was followed by the XR 4x4 in 1985, the Sierra RS Cosworth in 1986, the Sierra RS500 Cosworth in 1987, the Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth in 1988 and the Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth 4x4 in 1990. Thanks to cleaner aerodynamics, the Sapphire’s drag coefficient of 0.33 was superior to that of the original three-door cars, allowing marginally superior performance figures of 0-60mph in 6.1 seconds and a top speed of 150mph. Some 13,140 examples were built at Genk, Belgium over the model’s short two-year reign – 1988-1990. In summary:A well-presented two-wheel drive exampleRecently returned from a 12-year sojourn in sunny SpainFitted with a -31 wastegate actuator and stainless steel exhaust

Registration - H612 OCCChassis - ZFFSA17S000088920M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 38,968 km (24,213 Miles) ‘H612 OCC’ has had just the one keeper since this handsome lefthand drive Testarossa was imported to the UK from Switzerland in 2017. During his tenure it has covered only 3,000 miles and benefited from the replacement of the engine belts and clutch and the fitment of a fresh set of Pirelli P Zero tyres all-round, while the last oil service was carried out by the vendor as recently as this year. Once finished in metallic grey, it is these days presented in Rosso Corsa that’s perfectly complemented by Crema hide interior trim. The odometer presently displays a very credible though unwarranted total mileage to date of 38,965 kilometres (24,212 miles) and this desirable Prancing Horse is presently considered by the vendor to have a ‘good’ 12-cylinder engine, five-speed manual gearbox, two-door bodywork, paintwork and upholstery. It is now offered complete with some UK service history, plus a current MOT valid to April 4 next year. Ferrari’s mid-engined, flat-12 Testarossa was unveiled to an expectant media at the Champs-Elysée’s Lido nightclub on the eve of the 1984 Paris Salon. Though an evolution of the 512BBi, it had a markedly different appearance. In order not to recreate the high cabin temperatures of its predecessor, the Testarossa featured a pair of rear-mounted radiators. This called for large, slatted intake ducts leading from the doors and rear quarter panels, and it was these that gave the newcomer both its distinctive looks and considerable girth. The model was also longer and higher, resulting in more passenger and luggage accommodation. The Testarossa name (Italian for ‘red head’) was an echo of Ferrari’s immortal Testa Rossa sports racing cars of the 1950s and the engine’s cam covers were painted red, as before. The five-litre Colombo-designed unit was very similar to that of the 512BBi, but featured four-valves per cylinder. Together with other improvements, this resulted in a healthy output of 390bhp – sufficient to power the sleek new Prancing Horse to 60mph in just over five seconds and on to a top speed of some 180mph. In summary:A well-presented lefthand drive example imported from SwitzerlandJust 3,000 miles covered since arriving in the UK in 2017Recently fitted with new engine belts, clutch and tyres all-round

Registration - 516 YUYChassis No - 2751387M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - TBC This rare and ever-so-Gallic model originally dwelt in the South of France, was allegedly restored by a fireman, and was imported to the UK in 2013 by the previous owner, and then purchased by the vendor last year following a chance meeting at Goodwood. It features lefthand drive and the column gearchange and three rows of seats that are an integral part of the Famililale model’s specification. It is finished in black over Dove Grey and trimmed in a mix of fabric and green vinyl up front, and green vinyl for the second and third rows of seats. Recent maintenance has included a rebuild of the braking system and the replacement of the distributor, HT leads and brake cylinders. The vendor now feels the Peugeot ‘runs well and is very solid’, and presently grades the four-cylinder 1468cc engine, four-speed manual gearbox, five-door bodywork and upholstery as ‘good’, and the paintwork as ‘average’. He is now offering this rare slice of France complete with a selection of paperwork, a workshop manual, and an assortment of tools. The mid-sized 403 model was produced by Peugeot from 1955 to 1966, during which time no less than 1,014,111 examples were produced. The model was offered in no less than seven guises, namely four-door saloon, five door estate, convertible, pickup, van and, courtesy of a lengthened wheelbase, a Familiale and Commercial estate. The interesting Familiale, the subject of this lot, featured three rows of seats, thereby turning the 403 into a 7/8-seater vehicle. It also featured full-reclining front chairs and a column mounted gearchange. The successor to the 403 was the four-times East African Safari Rally-winning 404. In summary:An unusual and potentially very useful French classicImported into the UK in 2013Said to be solid and the subject of some recent maintenance

Registration - YDT 385GChassis No - GCN1/2096GM.O.T - ExemptOdometer - 6,812 (unwarrented) This decidedly good-looking Snowberry White MGC roadster was the pride and joy of the vendor’s late father and was the transport of choice for her wedding last year. A righthand drive, matching numbers example, it has remained within the family’s care since November 2015, during which time it has been reserved for sunny weekends and visits to car shows. We are informed that the engine was rebuilt by Vic Young in 2005 and these days sports a trio of HS6 SU carburettors and an 18-row oil cooler. The subject of a comprehensive restoration in 2012/2013, the MG also now features a stainless-steel exhaust system, uprated front disc brakes, Spax adjustable dampers and rides on Minilite-style alloy wheels shod with good quality Avon tyres. The nicely patinated white-piped black leather interior is apparently original aside of its desirable Moto-Lita wood-rim steering wheel. Always ‘dry stored and well maintained’, this fine manual gearbox roadster comes complete with a chrome luggage rack and is accompanied by a comprehensive history file that includes a BMIHT Heritage Certificate. Intended as a flagship sports car to replace the Austin-Healey 3000, the MGC was introduced in the autumn of 1967. Based around the two-door monocoque bodyshell of the humble B, the newcomer was powered by a 2912cc OHV straight-six engine allied to either a new heavy-duty, all-synchromesh, four-speed manual overdrive gearbox, or three-speed automatic transmission. Other mechanical differences included: a larger radiator, torsion-bar front suspension, telescopic dampers and lower geared rack and pinion steering. The C was visually distinguished from the B by its 'power bulge' bonnet and taller 15-inch wheels. While early road tests criticised the car's 'nose heavy' handling (the engine was 209 lbs heavier than the B’s and the weight distribution was 53:47), later reports were kinder. With some 145bhp and 170 lb ft of torque, the model could complete the 0-60mph dash in around 10 seconds and hit 120mph flat out. Sadly, too readily confused with its smaller-engined brother, it was axed in 1969 after just 4,544 roadsters and 4,458 GTs were made. Now, 50-plus years later, the MGC's lack of period sales success only serves to make it more collectible. In summary:A notably well-presented, matching numbers, home market exampleThe subject of an engine rebuild in 2005 and restoration in 2012Features upgrades to engine, brakes, suspension and exhaust

Registration - K232 FYKChassis No - TBCM.O.T. - 09/2024Odometer - 84,000The vendor has apparently owned this cheeky 1993 Sprite for eight years. It was his first car, and we understand it to have been used regularly and well maintained but dry stored through the winter months. In recent times it has benefited from new front wings, rear valance, sills and wheels, and been resprayed in its original livery of Diamond White. The original interior has also received attention, with the centre console and facia having been renewed. The vendor admits the Mini has seen little use since the lockdown, but confirms that it’s a ‘reliable little car that does what it should’. He currently grades the engine, manual transmission, bodywork and upholstery as ‘excellent’, and the electrics and paintwork and tyres as ‘good’. It now seeks a new owner and is being offered complete with Sony radio/CD unit coupled to a separate amp and pair of parcel shelf-mounted speakers, its original handbook, pair of keys and a collection of old MOT certificates, plus a fresh one with 12 months to run. It is doubtful if any other model of car can match the classic Mini for the number of special editions it inspired. The Sprite was created in the autumn of 1983 in anticipation of the model’s upcoming 25th anniversary. It revived a name last used for the baby Austin-Healey back in 1971, and offered an intermediate level of trim between that of the Mini City on which it was based and the plusher Mini Mayfair. It was powered by the well-proven 998cc version of the A Series engine and initially offered in either Cinnabar Red or Primula Yellow matched to grey herringbone upholstery; though a number of other colours were later used. The Sprite rode on 5x10 inch Exacton alloy wheels and featured Mini Special wheel arch extensions, twin door mirrors, and 1275 GT instrumentation. The production run was 2,500 units. In summary:A tidy, well cared for specimen currently displaying 84,873 milesThe subject of a degree of recent bodywork restorationDeclared a Category D insurance write-off in August 2017

Registration - FHZ 2030Chassis No - 31807M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 75,500The sensuous curves of the 308 have aged well and this righthand drive 1980 GTS is an undeniably handsome stallion. It is finished in the classic combination of Rosso Corsa bodywork matched to Crema-coloured hide interior trim and a black Targa top, the overall effect of which is accentuated by the car’s Goodyear-shod split-rim alloy wheels. ‘FHZ 2030’ has remained in the care of the vendor for the last three years and benefited from a full service and change of engine belts in the last few weeks. He presently grades the five-speed manual transmission as ‘excellent’, the V8 engine and bodywork as ‘good’ and the paintwork and upholstery as ‘average’. The Ferrari is now being offered complete with its original tools, owner’s manual and service and warranty books, plus two A4 folders worth of history that includes a current MOT certificate valid for the next 12 months. The Pininfarina-penned 308 GTB debuted at the Paris Salon in 1975 as both a replacement for the Dino 246 and supplement for the Bertone-styled Dino 308 GT4 2+2. A notable departure for the early fixed roof 308s was the use of GRP for the bodywork and, while for some countries wet sump versions of the 2.9-ltre V8 engine were employed, European specification cars were fitted with dry sump units. The Targa-topped GTS was first seen at the 1977 Frankfurt Motor Show and, in common with its GTB sibling, then had its carburetted engine replaced by one with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection in 1980, giving rise to the GTSi and GTBi models respectively. By now the use of GRP for the fixed roof bodies had been dropped and both variants were clothed in steel. Production of the GTS version had totalled 3,219 cars by the time the model was replaced by the GTSi – the variant immortalised by Tom Selleck in his role as Magnum P.I. In summary:A handsome 13-owner example currently displaying 75,400 milesJust treated to a full service and renewal of the engine beltsComes with comprehensive history files and 12 months MOT

***NO RESERVE*Registration - FPU 628YChassis No - WF0AXXGCAACP83111M.O.T - August 2024Odometer - 89,806 ‘FPU 628Y’ was built in Saarlouis, Germany in August 1982 and first UK registered on October 1. It was acquired by the vendor, its second keeper, in January 1984, at which point the odometer registered 11,027 miles. He informs us that the Ghia has always been garaged and regularly home serviced throughout his tenure. Recent maintenance has included renewal of the engine belts and heater matrix and a brake overhaul at 88,030 miles – ie just 776 miles ago. Apparently the Escort was undersealed in PVC while in Germany and is ‘very solid underneath’. The vendor presently regards the 1.6-litre engine, five-speed manual gearbox (thought to be one of the first to be fitted to an Escort), five-door bodywork, Champagne Gold Metallic paintwork and mink fabric/brown velour upholstery to all be in ‘good’ condition. This fine Ford is now being offered complete with glass sunroof, Sharp radio/cassette, pair of auxiliary driving lights, large history file containing the vendor’s bill of sale, the original owner’s manual and an Escort operating guide. The third generation of Ford’s long-lasting Escort model ran from 1980 to 1986. Unlike the MKII which was essentially a reskin of the MKI, the MKIII was a major engineering and stylistic departure from its predecessors. The most significant changes were the adoption of front-wheel drive, an all-new hatchback body, and an equally fresh range of OHC ‘CVH’ engines in place of the long-serving OHV ‘Kent’ ones. Gone two were the cart springs on the rear, so the suspension was now independent all-round. By December 1982 the Escort had overtaken the ageing Cortina to become Britain’s best-selling car, a position it was to retain for eight consecutive years. In summary:A genuine, well cared for two-keeper 89,806-mile exampleComes with comprehensive history file and an MOT to August 2024Regularly home serviced and maintained as required

Registration- Current plate as shown in photos will be going on retention. New registration will be MCK 504G.Chassis No - J691R8116M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 72,372 ‘NUD 21’ is a good-looking car, as well it might be having been treated to a full bare metal respray in its original eye-catching colour of Primrose Yellow (digital images of restoration available upon request). A lefthand drive Series 2 export model at birth, it has also been converted to righthand drive, though retains its original Stromberg carburettors – home-market cars breathed through a trio of SUs. The Jaguar was gifted to the vendor by his late mother and father, and he currently classes the four-speed manual transmission, roadster bodywork and paintwork as ‘excellent’, and the straight-six engine and black leather upholstery as ‘good’. He is now selling this attractive E-Type complete with a blue tooth stereo system. The odometer presently indicates a totally credible though unwarranted total mileage of 72,372. The last E-Type Jaguar rolled off the production line in 1975, yet the model still has a unique ability to excite enthusiasts of all generations, its Malcolm Sayer–penned lines thought by many to be among the most striking ever to adorn a motor car. The E-Type or XK-E as it was known in the USA, made its debut at the 1961 Geneva Salon. Like the XK120 before it, 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 a whisker over seven seconds and a top speed of circa 150mph. From birth, the car was available either as a fixed head coupe or two-seat roadster. The engine size was increased from 3.8 to 4.2-litres in October 1964. With the change came a sweeter all-synchromesh gearbox, better brakes and more comfortable seats. What are retrospectively known as Series 2 cars were launched in 1968 – they featured a number of modifications required by the Federal market, eg: exposed headlamps, collapsible steering column, safety rocker switches for the facia, larger bumpers and revised side, stop and flasher lamps. In summary:An export Series 2 model that’s been converted to righthand driveThe subject of a bare metal respray in its original colourCurrently displaying a credible but unwarranted 72,372 miles

Registration - J197 BOOChassis No - WF0NXXGBBNNC79220M.O.T - June 2024Odometer - 140,000 Now here’s a potentially useful vehicle that combines the load lugging ability of an estate car with Ferguson four-wheel drive and the luxury afforded Ford’s Ghia trim package – what’s not to like? It’s another model that’s suddenly become rare too, with only around 10 thought to be left on our roads. Recent maintenance has included a degree of chassis welding by a Ford specialist and the installation of a new fuel tank. The vendor now grades the DOHC 2.0-litre engine and five-speed manual gearbox as ‘excellent’, the light grey fabric upholstery as ‘good’, and the five-door bodywork and metallic blue paintwork as ‘average to good’; and adds that the Sierra behaved impeccably on a recent 300-mile journey. The sprightly-looking five-keeper Ghia is now seeking a new owner, and is being sold complete with glass sunroof, alloy wheels, headlamp wash/wipe, electric windows, central locking, JVC stereo unit, roof bars, two sets of keys, a ‘massive’ file of invoices and old MOTs etc, plus a current certificate valid to June 19 next year. Released in the September of 1982, the Ford Sierra was a replacement for the ubiquitous Cortina and its German sibling, the Taunus. The aerodynamic styling was arguably ahead of its time and caused initial controversy – one eminent UK journalist nicknaming it the ‘jelly mould’. Ford had the last laugh, however, with sales eventually reaching 1,299,993 units over the 11 years of production; making it Britain’s 10th most popular car up to that time. In summary:A rare car that combines spacious luxury with 4-wheel driveA five-keeper example currently indicating a total 140,556 milesIn the previous ownership for no less than 14 years

Registration - UTV 445HChassis No - AASAS630387AM.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 42,400In common with Ford’s ubiquitous Cortina, the BMC multi-badged 1100/1300 model was once a top seller in the UK yet, according to the popular website ‘How Many Left’, there are currently only 314 Austin 1300 examples left in the UK, just 170 of which are licenced, of which ‘UTV 445H’ is one. Its vendor informs us that the car has recently been treated to a considerable degree of restoration and a full respray, and it certainly presents well with its fresh brown paintwork being complemented by tan leatherette upholstery. According to the driver’s door footplate the Austin was supplied new to its first keeper by Morkel and Carnill Ltd of Nottingham, and it was first registered on July 14, 1970. There have been a further five keepers since that time, but the vendor is satisfied that the total displayed mileage of 42,328 is correct, and presently considers the A Series engine, four-speed manual gearbox, four-door bodywork, paintwork and upholstery to all be in ‘excellent’ order. The car is now on offer complete with refurbished brake system, window etching, and stainless-steel wheels trims Owing to the overt success of the Mini, it made eminent sense to employ the same designer to create a successor for the larger Austin A40 and Riley 1.5. Codenamed ADO16, the newcomer launched with a Morris badge in August 1962 was therefore penned by Alec Issigonis, and echoed the Mini in having an ‘A’ Series engine mounted east-west up front, driving the front wheels. Its technical innovations included single-piston swinging caliper disc front brakes and a ‘Hydrolastic’ interconnected fluid suspension system. The appealing styling was the work of Carrozzeria Pininfarina which, with minor adjustments, went on to wear not only Morris but Austin, MG, Riley, Wolseley and Vanden Plas badges during the model’s 13-year reign, over which 2.1million examples were sold. In summary:A six-owner example currently displaying a credible 42,328 milesRecently treated to a degree of renovation and full resprayAll windows etched with the car’s registration number

Registration - SV5322Chassis No - 87K5M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 4,000 There are dance enthusiasts the world over who’d give anything to witness the incomparable Fred Astaire perform live once more. Sadly, that’s a wish we cannot grant, but we can offer you the chance to own a very special motorcar that once belonged to him – ie this spectacular-looking 1924 Rolls-Royce 20hp roadster. Finished in yellow that’s complemented by a tan hood and tan leather upholstery, it was exported early on to the USA, where it is thought to have had its its dashing roadster-style coachwork fashioned by Inskip of New York, and where it was for a while the property of one of the most famous dancers of all time. By 1988 it had been repatriated and designated the registration ‘SV 5322’. The accompanying history file shows the roadster was then entrusted to Dennis Pilling & Son of Leigh in Lancashire, who performed a thorough mechanical overhaul on the Rolls-Royce, at a cost of almost £30,000 (a very large sum at the time). The vendor presently classes the six-cylinder engine, dickie-seat roadster bodywork and upholstery as ‘excellent’, and the four-speed central-change gearbox and paintwork as ‘good’. The motorcar comes complete with a large history folder containing an assortment of receipts and invoices, plus photographs and an array of other documents that prove the connection to Fred Astaire. 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 span both the very rich and seriously wealthy. Instantly distinguished by its horizontal radiator shutters, the newcomer was constructed around a ladder-frame chassis of 129-inch wheelbase. Power came from a 3,127cc straight-six, OHV monobloc engine mated to a three-speed manual gearbox. Suspension was by semi-elliptic leaf springs all-round. Braking was initially on the rear wheels alone, while steering was by worm and nut. Progressively updated to feature a four-speed gearbox and servo-assisted all-wheel braking, the ‘baby’ Rolls remained in production until 1929, by when some 2,885 examples had vacated the company’s Derby factory. Lighter and more responsive than the Silver Ghost, the 20hp was capable of exceeding 60mph. In summary:The most eye-catching of roadster-bodied Rolls-Royce 20sOnce the property of the one and only Fred AstairePresented in fine overall order complete with history file

Registration - ABM 258BChassis - 0056117M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 26,000 ‘ABM 258B’ was originally owned by a British engineer living and working in Uganda. He bought the car new in 1962 from F Boero & Co. for 17,300 Ugandan shillings, opting not to have whitewall tyres as they would have shown the dust from the African roads. This is a right-hand-drive example, making it something of a rarity for a Fiat 1500. When the engineer was due to return to the UK, he shipped the car to Italy, took a cabin on the same boat, and then spent six weeks driving the Fiat to Bristol. Included in the car’s two meticulously compiled and substantial history files is an artist’s image the engineer commissioned of the saloon being loaded onto the ship. The history also includes the original dealer purchase receipt, correspondence with HM Customs & Excise relating to its import into the UK in 1964, every tax disc, plus decades of service receipts etc. The 1500 also comes with a quantity of spares. The present owner, its fourth UK one, states that he has ‘never owned a classic car with so much paper history, it’s overwhelming’. Over the years ‘ABM 258B’ has undergone restoration in the hands of various owners, with the vendor describing the overall condition of the car as ‘excellent’, and ‘mechanically very good’, adding, ‘the manual column gear change does take a little getting used to, but she drives very smoothly, and the 1481cc engine really has some go’. The interior, with grey cloth trim and blue carpets, has been left in original condition. Fiat produced the 1500 from 1961 to 1967, offering it in saloon, estate, convertible and coupé versions. It was powered by an alloy-headed four-cylinder engine producing 75bhp. Reviewing the new Fiat for Motor Sport magazine in March 1962, Bill Boddy gave it a hearty thumbs-up, writing ‘The Fiat 1500 is not only a splendid performer, it is a well-planned, very completely equipped 4-door saloon… a fast Italian family car of exceptional merit.’ In summary:A rare, right-hand drive saloon version of Fiat’s 1500Imported from Uganda in 1964Comes complete with a substantial and fascinating history file

Registration - PAO 524PChassis No - 1237L65414034M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - TBC Now here’s something to set the pulse racing. It’s a manual gearbox C3 Corvette equipped with the relatively rare L82 engine, which means 5.7-litres (350ci) of torquey V8 performance – sufficient, according to the American magazines of the day, to whisk the mighty Vette to 60mph in as little as 6.8 seconds. It’s true to say that ‘PAO 524P’ couldn’t manage that right now as it’s in need of a new clutch, but the Chevy starts, runs and makes all the right noises, so the potential is self-evident. The car’s striking grey exterior is enhanced by a broad central black and orange stripe, suitably shiny side mufflers and chunky Riken tyres on alloy rims. The purposeful interior features orange-piped black leather seats, a Pioneer stereo system and monogrammed Corvette mats. The clutch aside, the vendor presently classes the eight-cylinder engine, four-speed manual gearbox and electrics as ‘excellent’, and the bodywork, paintwork and upholstery as ‘good’. The lefthand drive Stingray comes without history, so the currently indicated total mileage of 25,808 is unwarranted, though highly credible. The third generation Corvette (C3) came to market in 1968 and was continually developed until the all-new C4 model of 1984. While the engine and chassis components were mostly carried over from the C2, the interior and most striking of bodies were all new. The exterior design was a development of that penned by Larry Shinoda under the guidance of Bill Mitchell for the Mako Shark II concept car. The ladder-type chassis was broadly as created for the C2 by Zora Arkus-Duntov - the most significant element of which was the independent rear suspension that featured lateral struts, radius rods and transverse leaf spring. 1979 was the best ever year for Corvette production, with 53,807 cars manufactured. Only 5,720 examples were fitted with the desirable L82 engine in 1976, which makes the sale car a pretty rare beast, especially on this side of the pond. In summary:An eye-catching example equipped with the desirable L82 engineJust one recorded UK owner since being imported in 2020Currently in need of a replacement clutch

Registration - WDC 533SChassis - GAN6-202917GM.O.T. - September 2024Odometer - 81,323 ‘WDC 533S’ vacated the Abingdon production in late 1977, though it was not registered until March 22 the following year. The home-market MG has remained in the care of its current keeper for the last five years and has apparently been the subject of a considerable degree of restoration, including a full respray. The vendor now considers its five-speed manual transmission and two-seater bodywork to be in ‘excellent’ order, classes the four-cylinder engine and black vinyl upholstery as ‘good’, and the yellow paintwork as ‘average’. He is now offering the rubber-bumpered Midget complete with black hood, roll hoop, Moto-Lita wood-rimmed steering wheel, Caliber stereo system, brand new set of JDM Minilite-style alloy wheels, and a current MOT valid for the next 12 months. By the ‘60s, the MG Car Company had long since been absorbed into the giant British Motor Corporation (BMC). In an effort to fully capitalise on the many respected names in its care, the company embarked upon a programme of ‘badge engineering’, and the new MG Midget was essentially a MKII Austin-Healey Sprite in a slightly different suit of clothes, and initially powered by a 948cc A-Series engine. By the time of the 1966 MKIII, the motor’s capacity had increased via 1098cc to1275cc, semi-elliptic rear springs had replaced the quarter elliptics, and the front brakes were now discs. There were also wind-up windows and a superior hood. In 1972 a lower-geared Triumph steering rack was fitted, a second silencer added and the dynamo ousted in favour of an alternator. The final iteration, the MKIV, brought deformable federal bumpers allied to an increased ride height and a new engine and gearbox – the 1,493cc and four-speed manual units from the Triumph Spitfire. With 66bhp now on tap, the venerable little two-seater was capable of a genuine 100mph flat out. A total of 226,001 Midgets were built between 1961 and 1979. In summary:A very usable four-keeper example registering 81,323 milesUnderstood to have benefited from considerable recent restorationComes with new alloy wheels, woodrim steering wheel and roll hoop

Registration - KYR 396PChassis No. - XKV1-215920AM.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 79,000 This splendid little load lugger is finished in blue, trimmed in black vinyl and rides on cream-coloured reverse-rim steel wheels shod with Yokohama tyres. The Morris has also benefited from the fitment of an RC40 stainless steel exhaust system. The vendor informs us that the Mini was completely renovated eight years ago, work that included the replacement of the flooring. He now classes the 850cc engine and four-speed manual gearbox as ‘excellent’, and the bodywork, paintwork and upholstery as ‘good’. Believed to have once belonged to a member of the Cooper family (as in Mini Cooper and Cooper F1 fame), ‘KYR 396P’ is now offered for sale complete with polished wood facia, auxiliary water temperature and oil pressure gauges, heater, chrome door mirrors, locking fuel cap and carpeted load bay, plus a history file containing a large collection of invoices. In addition to the saloon, BMC built a variety of other versions including: the Traveller, the sporty Cooper and Cooper S models, the Clubman and 1275 GT, the Moke, the pick-up and the popular Mini van. The latter was based on the longer platform of the Traveller and had a load capacity of 0.25 tons. Available from 1960 until 1982, it was classed as a commercial vehicle and therefore avoided sales tax; making it a cheaper alternative to a car, as well a handy goods vehicle – some 521,494 examples were manufactured all told. In summary:A very well-presented nine-keeper, 82,814-mile exampleUnderstood to have been completely renovated eight years agoEquipped with reverse-rim wheels and stainless steel exhaust

Registration - UYC 776GChassis No. - WA5418517M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 52,871 Considering BMC’s 1100/1300 range of cars topped the UK sales charts for no less than eight years between 1963 and 1971 it’s amazing how rarely examples are seen these days, and we’ve no doubt this tidy-looking Wolseley version turns a few heads whenever it ventures out. It’s had just four keepers from new, the most recent of which has retained the car for the last seven years. Along the way its original automatic transmission has been replaced by a four-speed manual gearbox and a rebuilt, lower-mileage MG 1300 engine fitted in place of the Wolseley one. It has also benefited from a range upgrades, including: a pair of rebuilt Cooper S carburettors, conversion from dynamo to alternator, and addition of a brake servo, electronic ignition and performance plugs and leads, and 13-inch steel wheels shod with good quality Avon tyres. The original front seats have been replaced with a pair of heated hip-hugging ones, the headlining renewed and high quality red-piped blue carpets installed. The vendor informs us that the body and subframes ‘are very solid and have been regularly Waxoyled’, and he currently classes the engine and gearbox as ‘excellent’, and the four-door bodywork, Trafalgar Blue and black paintwork and red leather upholstery as ‘good’. He is now offering the Wolseley complete with aftermarket rev-counter, pair of period spot lights, tow pack, mud flaps and a Sony audio unit. Owing to the overt success of the Mini, it made eminent sense to employ the same designer to create a successor for the larger Austin A40 and Riley 1.5. Codenamed ADO16, the newcomer launched with a Morris badge in August 1962 was therefore penned by Alec Issigonis, and echoed the Mini in having an ‘A’ Series engine mounted east-west up front, driving the front wheels. Its technical innovations included single-piston swinging caliper disc front brakes and a ‘Hydrolastic’ interconnected fluid suspension system. The appealing styling was the work of Carrozzeria Pininfarina which, with minor adjustments, went on to wear not only Morris but Austin, MG, Riley, Wolseley and Vanden Plas badges during the model’s 13-year reign, over which 2.1million examples were sold. In summary:Just four keepers and a registered 52,871 miles from newConverted from automatic to manual transmissionBenefits form a range of desirable upgrades

Registration - F112 DGCChassis No - VF7AZKA00KA339264M.O.T. - 02/2024Odometer - 124,000Citroën’s charming 2CV has always possessed that je ne sais quoi quality that makes you want to own one, even if you have absolutely no requirement for such a car. One thing’s for sure, they don’t come much smarter than ‘F112 DGC’, which has been the subject of a body-off restoration within the last 12 months, and so should surely be fit to provide uninterrupted pleasure for many years to come. It’s finished in two-tone grey and trimmed in matching grey fabric, and rides on brand new wheels and tyres. The refurbishment is more than skin deep too, as the twin-cylinder engine has also been overhauled and, in a nod to modern motoring, has been equipped with electronic ignition. Unsurprisingly the vendor considers the 602cc motor, four-speed manual gearbox, bodywork, paintwork and upholstery to all now be in ‘excellent’ order. What’s more, the Charleston comes complete with every MOT from new, plus a current one valid to February 12 next year. What’s not to like?! The creation of Citroën’s incomparable Deux Chevaux (2CV) dates back to 1936 and was intended to motorise the large number of French farmers still relying on the horse and cart. The unique design brief called for: a low-priced, rugged ‘umbrella on four wheels’ that would enable four peasants to drive 110lb of farm goods to market at 31mph in clogs and via muddy, unpaved roads; including transporting eggs across a ploughed field without breaking them. No less than 3.8million examples were ultimately produced via 11 factories across the world (including one in Slough, England) between 1948 and 1990, by when the ageing design had been defeated by contemporary legislation. However, the charm of the model never fades and good ones remain keenly sought by collectors and classic car enthusiasts alike. The Charleston version began life in October 1980 as a one-season-only special edition, but proved sufficiently popular to be incorporated into the main range in July 1981. Related changes to the specification included inboard disc brakes at the front and a mild uplift in power to 29bhp courtesy of a different carburettor – the maximum speed now topped 70mph, just! In summary:An original righthand drive UK specification CharlestonA very well presented eight-keeper, 124,000-mile exampleRecently treated to a body-off restoration and engine rebuild

Registration - RMU 706LChassis No - 136/8492M.O.T - April 2024Odometer - 67,000 ‘RMU 706L’ was registered to the first of its seven keepers on August 5, 1973. According to VDI Check, at the time the Jensen was finished in yellow and remained that way until 1988 when it was repainted in the current livery of blue bodywork matched to tan leather upholstery. The Interceptor entered its current ownership no less than 23 years ago, in whose care it has recently been treated to new water pump, brake discs and pads, steering rack and uprating of the radiator and fans. The car is considered by the vendor to have ‘excellent’ electrics, ‘good’ V8 engine, automatic transmission, bodywork and upholstery, and ‘average’ paintwork. The car is now seeking a fresh home and is being offered complete with Blaupunkt audio system and history file containing an assortment of invoices and old MOTs, plus a current certificate valid into April next year. 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 6,276 cc 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 7,212cc. 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. In summary:A seven-keeper example currently registering 67,056 milesHas remained within the same ownership for no less than 23 yearsThe subject of recent mechanical maintenance

Registration - UFK 199FChassis No - 395015869GTHS0M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 52,537 This handsome example of the final iteration of the Rootes Group’s popular two-seater sports car has undergone a degree of sympathetic restoration in the hands of its current keeper. This has included a recent respray in British Racing Green, undersealing, engine bay refurbishment, reconditioning of the manual four-speed gearbox and renewal of the hood, alternator and brake servo. A GT model, it comes with the detachable factory hardtop, as well as the aforementioned hood and a tonneau cover. ‘UFK 199F’ has had just three keepers from new and has remained in the present ownership since 2016. The dashboard, trim, black vinyl seats and wood-rim steering wheel are nicely patinated, while the 1725cc, four-cylinder engine retains its original-specification twin Stromberg carburettors. The odometer presently reads 52,537 miles. The vendor informs us that the car drives well, and describes the paintwork as ‘excellent’ and the rest of the vehicle as being in ‘good’ condition - it is accompanied by a large history file. Offered at No Reserve, the Alpine provides an excellent opportunity to acquire a classic British sports car offering the choice of both of hard and soft-top motoring. Launched in 1959 and based on a modified Hillman Husky floorpan, the Sunbeam Alpine was very much aimed at the US market by the Rootes Group, who marketed the Series 1 in the States with the tagline ‘Sleek – Swift – Spectacular’. The purpose-built sports car featured advanced monocoque construction and a 1494cc engine – and even boasted wind-up front windows; a rarity amongst British sports cars of the time. It soon established a reputation for reliability, which would continue across all five generations. Successive series would see performance increases as more powerful engines were introduced, while styling refinements further improved practicality and kept the car current. The final version, the Series V, was launched in 1965 and featured a 1725cc engine producing 92bhp. Production ceased on January 1, 1968. In summary:A three-keeper car offered at No ReserveComes complete with hard and soft tops plus a tonneau coverThe subject of a sympathetic restoration, including a recent respray

Registration - R419 NDSChassis No - CP9A-0005024M.O.T. - September 2024Odometer - 111,487 Kms (69,274 Miles) Evos don’t come much smarter than ‘R419 NDS’. From its white OZ Racing alloy wheels to its cloth and Alcantara-covered Recaro seats the Lancer is pretty pin sharp. It was imported to the UK in 2021 by Guy Francis Specialist Cars and first registered on September 1 of that year. The vendor is the car’s third custodian since it arrived on these shores and would appear to have cherished it during his 11 months tenure, as the Mitsubishi is certainly presented in fine order. He informs us that it is basically a standard example that has been remapped and he has no hesitation in classing the turbo engine, five-speed manual gearbox, four-door bodywork, shiny white paintwork and grey and green upholstery as ‘excellent’. He is now selling the Lancer complete with a current MOT valid to September 5 next year, plus invoices and a service book relating to its UK-based maintenance, the last bout of which occurred in October last year. The odometer presently stands at 111,586 kilometers (69,336 miles). If you have been searching for an Evo V, then this handsome example must surely be worth a look. Mitsubishi’s Evo has been with us since 1992, during which time there have been 10 generations, each comprising a 2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine powering a four-wheel drive, four-door saloon. The EVO V reigned for exactly one year from January 1998 and brought a number of changes that included: flared arches front and rear, new adjustable alloy rear spoiler, 10mm increase in track, increase in wheel diameter from 16 to 17 inches in order to accommodate Brembo brakes, an increase in engine torque to 373Nm. Power output, however, remained the same at 276bhp.

Registration - A998 OKJChassis - WF0CXXGAECEB73763M.O.T. - January 2024Odometer - 159,000 Time has shown that, properly maintained, the still stylish-looking Capris that were immortalised by the popular TV Series ‘The Professionals’ will run and run, and they’re proving to be a popular option for the younger members of the booming classic car fraternity. ‘A998 OKJ’ was a 1984 build that’s finished in Paris Blue and trimmed in grey cloth, and still rides on its original ‘pepperpot’ alloy wheels. It is an eight-keeper example that has remained in the current ownership since December 2009. Clearly cared for, it was apparently treated to a gearbox rebuild and degree of restoration as well as a repaint as recently as two years ago. The vendor further informs us that the Ford has been serviced and MOT’d every year during his tenure. He nowadays views the hatchback bodywork and upholstery as ‘excellent’, and the V6 engine, five-speed manual gearbox and metallic paintwork as ‘good’. The Capri is now being offered complete with factory-fitted sunroof, CD/MP3 player, spare wheel, jack and a comprehensive A4 folder containing every old MOT, plus a current one valid into January next year. Popular in the ‘70s and ‘80s, Europe’s answer to the Mustang is hot property once again, and for many enthusiasts the pick of the Capri bunch is the last of the big-engined options. Worthwhile improvements came with the MKII variants of 1974 and the quadruple headlamp MKIII cars of 1978. Then in 1981 the venerable 3-litre Essex-engined versions were dropped in favour of the so-called 2.8i Injection – a single-car range powered by the lusty fuel-injected 2.8-litre Cologne V6 engine. Power rose to 160bhp and, soon after launch, the old four-speed gearbox was replaced with a more contemporary five-speed unit. Ford now had a stylish four-seat coupe with the performance to shame rivals of four times the price - it could hit 60mph in 7.8 seconds and top 130mph flat out. In summary:A tidy eight-keeper, 159,484 miles exampleThe subject of a degree of restoration and repaint two years agoComes with large history folder, all its old MOTs, plus a current one

Registration - M227 TUKChassis No - WBAEF62030CB97278M.O.T. - December 2023Odometer - 113,107It’s taken a long time for enthusiasts to fully appreciate the many virtues of the distinctive BMW 8 Series, examples of which are arguably tremendous value in today’s market. ‘M227 TUK’ is a relatively early 840Ci example, so powered by BMW’s 4.0-litre M60 V8 powerplant that delivered a healthy 282bhp and 295 lb ft of torque. It drives through the optional five-speed automatic gearbox. Its Brilliant Red paintwork contrasts well with the grey leather interior trim and period-correct BBS alloy wheels. The coupe has had just five keepers to date, the most recent of whom assumed possession in 2014. He currently grades the engine and gearbox as ‘excellent’, the bodywork and upholstery as ‘good’, and the paintwork as ‘average’, and is now offering the car at No Reserve complete with: factory-fitted sunroof and radio/cassette player, six-stack CD multi-changer, book pack that includes a replacement service book stamped up to 97,349 miles, a sizeable folder of invoices and receipts, plus a current MOT valid to December 21. The odometer currently indicates a total of 113,107 miles. During its 10-year reign, the (E31) 8 Series was offered in 830i, 840Ci and 850i/Ci form, of which the 840Ci was the second most popular variant. When introduced in mid-1993, it was fitted with a 4-litre V8 engine mated to either a 5-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission. The fully independent suspension featured struts at the front and coil springs on the rear. Steering was by ball and nut and braking by discs all round. Over 1.5 billion Deutschmarks is said to have been spent on the car’s design and development, which included the use of CAD tools (still quite rare at the time) and wind tunnel testing, the combined effect of which was a very competitive drag coefficient of 0.29. Though electronically limited to 155mph, this endowed the more powerful 8 Series models with a potential top speed of almost 190mph. Total sales of the range were some 30,600, the model’s potential being somewhat limited by the recession of the time. In summary:A five keeper example currently indicating 113,107 total milesService record up to 97,349 and current MOT valid into DecemberBeing sold at No Reserve

Registration - H595 WYGChassis No - TBCM.O.T - June 2024Odometer - 80,962 This handsome S3 has remained in the same ownership for the last 19 years. The vendor informs us that it is an unmolested matching numbers, home market example that has been serviced during every year of his tenure – the last bout of maintenance was carried out in February of this year. The TVR’s totally original white bodywork is matched to blue leather interior trim and blue hood and Targa top, and the vendor presently considers the V6 engine, five-speed manual gearbox, two-seater bodywork, paintwork and upholstery to all be in ‘excellent’ condition. He is offering the car complete with a file containing some service history, an assortment of bills and receipts and all its old MOTs, plus a current one valid to June 25 next year. The odometer currently displays an unwarranted but totally credible 80,962 miles from new. TVR’s S Series line of sports cars made its debut at the 1986 British International Motor Show and marked the first major milestone for Peter Wheeler since taking over the company from Martin Lilley. S1 variants are now extremely rare and powered by 160bhp versions of Ford’s 2.9-litre V6 powerplant, whereas S2-S4 models had the benefit of an extra 10bhp courtesy of basically the same engine. (Most) S3 and S4 cars benefited from longer doors, while S3s were unique in having traditional-looking burr walnut facias. There was also a V8 version of the S that was powered by either a 2.0-litre (yes really) or 4.0-litre derivative of the ubiquitous Rover engine. S Series production ran from 1986 to 1994 and comprised a total of 2,604 cars, 1,194 of which were equipped with one form or another of the V6 Ford engine, and 410 with the Rover V8. In summary:An apparently very original, unmolested S3A 10-keeper example currently displaying 80,962 milesHas remained in the current ownership for the last 19 years

Registration - DG53 ENRChassis No - CT9A-0202581M.O.T. - September 2024Odometer - 56,925If you’re an Evo enthusiast, and let’s face it, many drivers are, then we reckon you need to know about this rare FQ-300. Its distinctive Lightning Yellow bodywork contrasts splendidly with the black suede/leather interior trim and black Fox alloy wheels that are shod with Falken tyres. A genuine UK specification car, ‘DG53 ENR’ has only just benefited from a service that included the replacement of the timing and auxiliary belts and water pump. It is now regarded by the vendor as having a ‘good’ 305bhp turbo engine, six-speed manual gearbox, four-door bodywork and paintwork, and ‘average’ upholstery. We understand that the Mitsubishi’s MOT history confirms the currently indicated mileage of 56,925, and the car comes complete with a current MOT certificate valid into September of next year. All things considered, ‘DG53 ENR’ represents a rare and exciting opportunity for Evo fans everywhere. The eighth generation version of Mitsubishi’s legendary Evo was in production from 2003 to 2005. Originally a single model range, it proved so popular in the US that a family of variants was ultimately evolved. All were powered by a version of the now familiar 1997cc turbocharged in-line four-cylinder engine, but output varied considerably from country to country and special edition to special edition. Variants offered on the UK market included the 260 (260bhp), FQ300 (305bhp), FQ320 (325bhp), FQ340 (345bhp) and FQ400 (405bhp). The sale car features a number of FQ-300 badges inside and outside the vehicle, a console-mounted one of which is combined with the car’s allocation number #433. In summary:An extremely striking and rare UK-specification Evo VIIIJust 56,925 warranted miles from new. MOT’d for 11 monthsJust treated to a service and new engine belts

Registration - KJO 380GChassis - G/HD4/154520M.O.T. - September 2024Odometer - 58,066 ‘KJO 380G’ matches burgundy bodywork to black vinyl interior trim and rides on silver-painted wire wheels. Its comprehensive specification includes overdrive, an upgraded Pioneer sound system, leather-rimmed steering wheel and a pair of large auxiliary driving lights. The MG has remained within the current ownership for the last couple of years and is regarded by the vendor as having an ‘excellent’ engine and manual gearbox, and ‘good’ bodywork, paintwork and upholstery. This presentable home market example has evidently been serviced within the last two months and is now being sold complete with its original spare wheel, Haynes owner’s manual, a sizeable history folder of invoices, receipts and old MOT certificates, plus a current one valid for the coming 12 months. The vendor believes the indicated total mileage of 58,066 to be correct. Introduced in May 1962, the monocoque MGB was a welcome progression from the body-on-frame T-Series and MGA models that preceded it. The more modern construction resulted in weight savings, reduced manufacturing costs and notably tauter handling. It was initially only available in roadster form – the Pininfarina-penned hatchback GT derivative with 2+2 seating not being offered until October 1965. 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 dynamo to alternator. In 1969, Rostyle wheels replaced the previous pressed steel version for standard fit. By the time GT production ceased in October 1980, a total of 125,282 had been produced. In summary:A presentable 12-keeper example displaying 58,066 milesRecently serviced and accompanied by 12 months of MOTEquipped with overdrive, upgraded stereo and wire wheels

Registration - F313 FCCChassis - WBABB12030EB95133M.O.T. - May 2024Odometer - 103,000 miles This smartly-presented E30 manual transmission convertible matches Alpine White bodywork to a blue hood and grey check cloth interior trim, and rides on period-correct BBS alloy wheels shod with quality Goodyear tyres. It has had just three owners to date, the most recent of whom purchased it from a garage in Llandudno in January 2000, while the previous keeper retained the BMW for eight years. We understand that a new BMW exhaust system was fitted a few years ago and that a fresh cambelt was installed during lockdown, since when relatively few miles have been travelled. The vendor presently considers all major aspects of the convertible to be in ‘good’ order and describes it as a ‘nice driver’s car that starts and runs very reliably and has always been dry stored during his tenure’. He is now offering it complete with a factory-fitted Blaupunkt stereo and CD autochanger and a large history file containing his purchase bill, lots of other invoices and service history (including some main dealer stamps), and pretty much every past MOT, plus a current one valid to May 23 next year. The phenomenal success of BMW’s 3 Series shows little sign of waning, with the car now in its seventh generation and still the standard by which all rivals are judged. This remarkable story began in 1975, when the E21 was launched as a replacement for the 2002. Available in two-door saloon and convertible (by Baur), it could initially only be bought with 1.6, 1.8 and 2-litre versions of the company’s four-cylinder M10 engine, but six-cylinder ones soon followed. Having changed the saloon market forever, the inaugural model bowed out in 1982 to be replaced by the E30. More evolution than revolution, the newcomer raised the bar still higher and dominated its sector for the next 10 years. The model line-up grew to include four-door saloon and estate (Touring in BMW parlance) versions and the convertible was now an in-house affair. Aside of the M3, the optimum engine package was found in the 325i – a smooth and lusty 2.5-litre unit of 168bhp and 164 lb ft of torque. In summary:A smart three-owner example currently displaying 103,011 milesComes complete with large history file and an MOT to May 2024Recently equipped with a new exhaust and cambelt

Registration - G253 YDV Chassis No - ZFFWA20C000081819M.O.T - August 2024Odometer - 55,914 Please note, the registration number "484 BAM", as shown in the photos, is going on retention so is not included in the saleThis fine-looking 328 was supplied new to its first owner on August 5, 1989 by Stratstones of Wilmslow. Since then there have been a further seven keepers, the most recent of whom was gifted the Ferrari by his father 19 years ago. The car’s fully documented service history comprises 10 stamps up to 47,990 miles, followed by cambelt changes at 50,254, 53,526 and 55,784 miles, since when the Prancing Horse has covered just 132 miles. The vendor presently has no hesitation in confirming that the car’s V8 engine, five-speed manual gearbox, bodywork, Rosso Corsa paintwork and Crema hide interior upholstery are all in ‘excellent’ condition. The Ferrari is accompanied by a large history file containing assorted paperwork and old MOTs dating back to 1994, plus a current certificate valid for the next 12 months. The shapely 328 GTB and GTS were direct and relatively mild developments of the Pininfarina-penned 308 GTB and GTS, the most notable change from which was an increase in capacity from 2.9 to 3.2 litres for the V8 powerplant. The subtly restyled bodies were still largely hand-built for Ferrari by Scaglietti, while the interior was given a slightly more contemporary feel. The only major running change throughout the 328’s reign was the provision of an anti-lock braking system for the car’s ventilated discs. Production of the model ran from 1985 to 1989, and by the time it was replaced by the 348 in 1989 a total of 7,412 examples had been created – 6,068 GTSs and 1,344 GTBs; a ratio of almost 5:1 in favour of the Targa-topped GTS. With some 270bhp on tap, the slightly heavier 328 GTS could still sprint to 60mph in 5.9 seconds and on to a terminal speed of c.163 mph. In summary:A fine eight-keeper, 55,916-mile exampleGifted to the vendor as a wedding present from his father in 2004Comes with documented service history and a full year’s MOT

Registration - RSK 173Chassis No. - ANSL2789M.O.T. - April 2024Odometer - Odometer reads 4,500 (Speedo has been changed) This tidy-looking Frogeye is finished in Old English White and trimmed in black vinyl. It has had four keepers since being imported from the USA in 1991, the most recent of whom, a member of the Midget & Sprite Club, has retained the car since 2014. He informs that it is still powered by its original 948cc A Series engine, but that the speedometer was renewed in 2012, the bodywork restored in 2014 and, over time, the brightwork and steering wheel refurbished and the seats recovered. He presently regards the powerplant, four-speed manual gearbox, two-seater bodywork, paintwork and upholstery to all be in ‘excellent’ order. The little Sprite is now offered complete with soft top, tonneau in excellent condition, standard hard top and sports hard top, both in need of renovation. Further desirable extras to accompany the car include Philips radio/cassette, aftermarket voltmeter, a stack of invoices and selection of old MOTs, plus a current certificate valid into April next year. Thanks to its prominent, bonnet-mounted headlights, the original Sprite quickly became known as the ‘Frogeye’ - a moniker that has stuck to this day. The little two-seater, designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company and built by BMC at the MG factory in Abingdon, was launched in Monte Carlo immediately prior to the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix. The unique, one-piece bonnet covered a mildly tuned, 43bhp 948cc version of the BMC A series engine already found in the Austin A35 and Morris Minor. The suspension was by coil springs and wishbones at the front and quarter elliptic springs at the rear, with lever arm dampers all round. The construction was ‘integrated’ rather than a full monocoque and featured forward projecting chassis legs of the type used in the E-Type Jaguar. The minimal specification excluded exterior door handles and boot lid. Some 49,000 Frogeyes were built between 1958 and 1961. In summary:A tidy-looking example imported from the USA in 1991Has remained within the same ownership since 2014Comes complete with MOT valid into April next year

****NO RESERVE***Registration - TNB 618JChassis - 11501060061863M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 88,000 kmThe stunning-looking 2.2-litre W115 Mercedes on offer was a South African build car that remained in that car-friendly climate until being imported into this country in 2016, and has had just two keepers since arriving on these shores. It is finished in a pleasing shade of mid-blue and trimmed in brown leather. Aside of a slight tear in the driver’s seat it is hard to fault the car’s overall condition, which certainly belies its age. The vendor confirms that it is devoid of rust or rot and that he has personally been responsible for the most recent bout of maintenance. He currently grades the four-speed manual transmission and four-door bodywork as ‘excellent’, and the four-cylinder petrol engine and upholstery as ‘average’; grades that would seem a bit harsh on the face of it. The Benz is now being sold complete with colour-matched seat belts throughout, a Kenwood stereo system, and a ‘massive’ history file containing a mix of books, manuals, magazine articles, service history etc. The total indicated mileage of just 88,647 kilometers (55,083 miles) is believed to be correct. The Paul Bracq-penned W114/W115 series of three-box Mercedes saloons and coupes was launched in 1968 and remained in production until it was replaced by the W123. The cars were offered with a choice of no less than 11 different engines ranging in size from a four-cylinder 2.0-litre petrol unit to 3.0-litre five-cylinder diesel one. A total of 1,919,056 examples of the mark were built over the nine years, 1,852,008 of which were saloons. In addition to three different plants in their native Germany, the cars were also manufactured or assembled from CKD kits in Portugal, Venezuela, Argentina and South Africa, from the where the sale car originated. Found to be robust and reliable, the model soon found favour with taxi drivers the world over and, displayed within its Stuttgart museum, Mercedes has a 1976 240D saloon that was formerly the property of a Greek tax driver who clocked up a total of 2.9million miles with the car. In summary:A splendid example imported from South Africa in 2016Just two UK keepers and a very credible 55,083 miles to dateComes complete with massive history file

Registration - ERC 562TChassis No - 124CSZD158201M.O.T. - September 2024Odometer - 15,176 This very pretty Spider has self-evidently been the subject of some relatively recent restoration, and the vendor informs us that this included a full respray of the body, a total retrim, and the replacement of the beige hood, bumpers and brake pads. A lefthand drive example, the Fiat was apparently imported from Santa Clara, California in 1993, since when it’s had three UK keepers, the most recent of whom acquired the car in 2015. The vendor nowadays considers the 2.0-litre twin-cam engine, five-speed manual gearbox, convertible bodywork, Ferrari Azzuro (metallic blue) paintwork, and beige vinyl upholstery to all be in ‘good’ order. We understand that the last service was conducted within the last 12 months and confirm the car’s tidy four-spoke alloy wheels are shod with quality tyres – Goodyear on the front and Yokohamas on the rear. This fine-looking Fiat is now being sold complete with Pioneer sound system and a degree of history. Fiat’s handsome 2+2 124 Sport Spider made its debut at the 1966 Turin Salon. The Ferrari 275 GTS-esque newcomer was styled and manufactured by Pininfarina and based on a shortened version of the popular 124 Saloon platform. Targeted at the American market, the newcomer was powered by a belt-driven DOHC version of the saloon’s four-cylinder pushrod unit, complete with alloy crossflow head. Initially 1438cc in size, it grew in stages over 20 years to 1995cc, taking the power output from 89bhp to 104bhp respectively (133bhp in the case of the 1995cc turbo engine). The engine drove through either an all synchromesh five-speed manual gearbox or a General Motors three-speed automatic unit. Suspension was independent at the front by wishbones and coil springs, and by live axle, Panhard rod and coil springs at the rear. Braking was powerful courtesy of discs all-round and the steering was initially by worm and roller, but eventually rack and pinion. The model line finally ceased in 1985 after almost 200,000 Spiders had been produced – 75 per cent of which were destined for the American market. In summary:Imported from California in 1993, since when it’s had three keepersThe subject of recent restoration and maintenanceA well-presented example of a sought after model

Registration - VSM 250TChassis No - 274574VM29038M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 42,518 MKII Escort Sports are surprisingly few and far between these days. This tidy specimen matches Signal Orange bodywork to black quilted interior trim and rides on a set of five-spoke Compomotive alloy wheels. It resided in South Africa until imported to the UK in the Autumn of 2020. Since arriving on these shores it has undergone a sympathetic restoration that included complete refurbishment of the underside and any other bodywork that was deemed necessary, followed by a repaint of the affected areas and engine bay. The 1600cc Kent engine was rebuilt and fitted with a downdraft Weber carburettor topped by a K&N performance filter. The four-speed manual gearbox was also rebuilt and uprated with a quick shift change. The driveline now benefits from a rally specification English rear axle. The vendor currently rates the OHV engine and transmission as ‘excellent’, and the two-door bodywork, paintwork and upholstery as ‘good’. The Ford comes complete with a degree of supporting paperwork and two sets of keys. The Ford Escort is one of the motor industry’s longest running success stories, with over 4.1 million examples of the model being sold over a period of 33 years, and it was frequently Britain’s best-selling car during the 1980s and 1990s. The second of the six generations was ushered in during 1974 and reigned until 1980. Much squarer in shape than its predecessor, it was offered in the four guises of two and four-door saloon, estate and van, and in various levels of trim and performance. Versions of the MKII were manufactured or assembled from CKD kits in England, Ireland, Germany, Australia, Israel, New Zealand, Holland and South Africa. For the latter market, UK-built MKIIs were exported to the country, where they were assembled at the Ford plant in Silverton. The beauty of the dry South African climate and salt-free roads is that car bodies and undersides are far less likely to suffer from rust or rot, making vehicles imported from there highly desirable. The added bonus for a UK owner is that they are usually righthand drive, as is the case with ‘VSM 250T’. In summary:Imported from sunny South Africa in 2020The subject of recent body restoration work and engine rebuildFeatures quilted interior trim and rides on Compomotive alloys

***NO RESERVE*Registration - 39 PHYChassis No - PADX197315M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 96,727 ‘39 PHY’ has had just six keepers in its 61-year life, the last two of whom have invested a fair degree of time and money in what is now a decidedly rare model that had already benefited from such period modifications as power steering, four-speed gearbox with floor-mounted change and overdrive. The recent work has included: a respray from white to two-tone blue; conversion to allow the use of E10 fuel; the re-coring of the radiator; replacement of the head gasket, water pump, headlights, door locks, spark plugs and leads, and three quarterlights; the installation of bespoke window rubbers, front inertia seatbelts, pair of Revotec electric cooling fans, reversing light, contemporary indicators and aftermarket gauges. More fundamental has been the upgrade to the braking system that now features servo-assistance and discs up front. The vendor currently considers all major aspects of the Vauxhall to be in ‘good’ order and is offering the car complete with a modest history file. When did you last see one of these? The PA Cresta was produced at a time when the design of the UK-built Vauxhalls was heavily influenced by its parent company, General Motors, and the tail fins, wrap around windows and white-wall tyres were all echoes of the Buick Special already on sale in the US. Launched in October 1957, the model reigned for five years before being replaced by the completely restyled PB, during which period 81,841 examples were manufactured. The model was initially powered by the 2262cc six-cylinder engine of the preceding E Series Cresta, but this was heavily revised in 1960, and cars from August that year onwards benefited from a more powerful version of 2651cc. A Motor magazine road test of one of the later cars produced a 0-60mph time of 15.2 seconds and top speed of a whisker under 95mph. The powerplants drove through either a column-change three-speed manual or Hydramatic automatic transmission. In summary:Just six-keepers and an indicated 96,727 miles over 61 yearsPeriod mods include four-speed manual gearbox and power steeringThe subject of recent maintenance and improvements

Registration- YNE 784LChassis No - AR3042285M.O.T. - August 2021Odometer - 65,373 The history file that accompanies this splendid-looking lefthand drive Spider tells us it was exported new to an Alfa Romeo dealership in Pennsylvania, USA, where the garage owner promptly adopted it for his personal use. The third US owner acquired the Alfa in 2010, and correspondence on file confirms how much he doted on it, only running the two-seater on warm days and spending some $6,000 on reconditioning it in 2017. It was in 2020 that the Alfa was imported to the UK and allotted the registration ‘YNE 784L’. An extensive restoration followed a year later, work that included a conversion to European specification, refurbishment of the underside and a full respray, plus new black mohair hood, hood cover and Minilite-style wheels shod with Pirelli P6 tyres. The interior remains to original specification, including a period push-button radio, and the car is now offered complete with original US registration documents, original handbooks, service book and spare wheel. The UK history includes a host of invoices from specialists such as Classic Alfa and Alfaholics. The Spider was launched at the 1966 Geneva Salon and is said to have been the last project with which ‘Pinin’ Farina was personally associated. Just one year later the model was immortalised by the Dustin Hoffman film ‘The Graduate’. The chassis was based on that of the Giulia 105 and the Series One examples were powered by a 1,570cc version of Alfa’s four-cylinder twin-cam unit. The car boasted a sporting specification, including independent front suspension, disc brakes all-round and a five-speed manual gearbox. The Series 2 Spider arrived in 1970. The rounded tail was replaced with a distinctive ‘Kamm’ design and a year later engine capacity was increased to 1962 cc, prompting the name to be changed to 2000 Spider Veloce. With 131bhp on tap, this was the quickest Spider yet and capable of over 120mph. In summary:A four-keeper, very well-presented exampleExtensively restored in 2021, with a substantial history fileImported from the USA in 2020 and converted to UK specification

Registration - FX08 JDZChassis No. - ZDMA109AA813021554M.O.T. - May 2024Odometer - 17,422There’s much to know about this splendid six-keeper Multistrada, which has remained in the vendor’s care for the last four years, during which time it has been ‘garaged and well maintained’. The 1100cc V-Twin engine benefits from having electronic ignition and MIVV exhaust system, while other particular points of note include: the carbonfibre engine cowl and chain guard etc; the Marchesini wheels wrapped in ‘good’ Bridgestone Battlax tyres; new high-performance clutch slave cylinder; heated handlebar grips (Oxford Products), and the framework for panniers. We understand that ‘FX08 JDZ’ was treated to a desmo valve service by Ducati Manchester as recently as 700 miles ago, and that the Multistrada is now considered by the vendor to have ‘excellent’ engine, five-speed gearbox, frame, suspension, red paintwork, brightwork and cycle parts. He is now offering this princely Italian motorcycle complete with alarm/immobiliser, pair of keys, partial service history, original owner’s manual, history file containing invoices etc, plus a current MOT valid to May 24 next year.

Registration - EDL 246FChassis - 25114206DM.O.T. -ExemptOdometer - 15,250 ‘EDL 246F’ proudly exhibits the patina of its 18 years of service with an MOD fire unit. The present owner, who purchased it direct from the MOD in April 1984 and is listed on the V5 as the only keeper since the vehicle became DVLA registered, has evidently maintained it in good running order. The related work has included: the installation of a galvanised chassis; the replacement of the fuel system, carburettor, distributor and coil, as well as fresh springs and dampers all-round. In addition, the chassis has been undersealed, and in 2016 the Landie was apparently treated to a professional respray. The vendor currently classes the 24-volt electrics as ‘excellent’, the bodywork, green paintwork, four-cylinder 2.25-litre petrol engine and four-speed manual gearbox as ‘good’, and the black interior as ‘average’. MOT records appear to support the stated mileage of just 15,227 miles and that less than 1,000 have been covered since the respray. ‘EDL 246F’ is now being offered at No Reserve and, with its undoubted off-road capabilities, this long wheelbase (109”) pick-up would surely be equally rewarding as a practical workhorse or a participant in classic Land Rover and military vehicle events. That even the last of the classic Defenders is immediately recognisable as a direct descendent of the Land Rover launched at the 1948 Amsterdam Motor Show is huge testimony to Maurice Wilks’ original design. The Landie was designed for light agricultural use and to create the cashflow required to kickstart Rover’s post-war passenger car production. The irony of its longevity is that production was only intended to run for two-three years. Instead, it rapidly became the workhorse of the world. The model steadily progressed from a single offering with 1.6-litre petrol engine to a complete family of long and short wheelbase derivatives with an ever-increasing choice of powerplants. By the time of the Series IIA, production was at its all-time peak of over 60,000 vehicles per annum. and the model is considered by many to be the most durable of all the Land Rover Series vehicles. In summary:A former MOD fire truck with just one owner since 1984It exhibits an MOT-supported mileage of just 15,250The subject of a professional respray in 2016

Registration - H17 0MAChassis No - SAXXNNBYCBD077784M.O.T. - 06/2024Odometer - 42,000According to VDI Check this exceedingly smart cabriolet began life in Northern Ireland before returning to the mainland and being first DVLA registered in June 1994. The vendor apparently acquired the car from the marque specialist GC Minis of Swanley in Kent some five years ago. He believes that ‘H17 OMA’ is now one of only 42 such cabriolets remaining in the world, so a very rare car indeed. He informs us that its has always been dry stored and serviced every year during his tenure. Its resplendent Nightfire red bodywork is matched to a red hood, red-piped cream leather interior trim, and complemented by the polished set of Revolution alloy wheels on which it rides. The vendor presently classes the four-speed manual transmission, convertible bodywork and upholstery as ‘excellent’, and the 1300cc A Series engine and paintwork as ‘good’. He is now selling the Mini complete with Mountney wood-rim steering wheel, stereo system, spare wheel, toolkit, and a sizeable history folder containing the original book pack, receipts, tax discs and selection of old MOTs, plus a current advisory-free one valid into August next year. The odometer currently registers an unwarranted but totally credible total of 42,000 miles. The story of the Mini convertible began with Lamm Autohous of Achern, Germany, who began creating their own version during the 1980s. In 1991 Rover contracted the company to build 75 righthand drive prototypes for sale through 12 selected Rover dealers. The success of this project led to Rover’s own version that was launched at the NEC in 1992. It was ultimately offered in three colours – Nightfire Red as per the sale car, Caribbean Blue and British Racing Green. The list price was £11,995. Production terminated in mid-1996 after c.1,081 examples are believed to have been built. In summary:A very smartly presented apparently low mileage exampleThought to be one of only 42 such cabriolets left worldwideComes with big history file including an MOT valid into next year

Well-crafted homage to the legendary Sebring GTS MGs, upgraded with a 1,950cc fast road engine. Purchased by its previous owner in 2001 as an unfinished conversion to a Sebring replica he undertook a complete overhaul and restoration, with virtually every aspect refined, upgraded or rebuiltThe work included correctly refitting the body panels, respraying the whole of the car in British Racing Green, and undertaking a full mechanical rebuild. The brakes were upgraded and the engine re-bored (1,950cc) and rebuilt with a big-valve head and a reprofiled Piper cam to ‘ultimate’ road spec. The car was also rewired and fitted with a stainless steel exhaustThe interior was superbly renovated, and the seats were re-covered in Magnolia leather, piped in green, new cashmere carpets edged in green throughout and the dashboard superbly presented in polished Burr WalnutAll this work was completed in 2012 and is documented in a comprehensive photographic recordSince his purchase, our vendor has only used the car lightly and the odometer currently indicates just over 9,000 miles, we imagine since the restorationRecent maintenance includes a new clutch in 2019 and four new tyres in 2021With its mesh grille, bonnet bulge and aggressive wheel arches covering wide Minilites, this smart MG pays a respectful nod to the legendary MG C 'GTS' cars produced by the Comps Department at Abingdon to compete at Sebring in the late 1960s. With its 1,950cc fast road-spec engine and revised suspension, its performance and handling should match its purposeful looks and, when things slow down, we can't think of a more delightful interior in which to enjoy some gentle touring.Specification Make: MG Model: MGB GT Year: 1976 Chassis Number: GHD5398900G Registration Number: NWK 514P Transmission: Manual Engine Number: -9002 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 9008 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Cream LeatherClick here for more details, condition report and images
