1966 Ford Zodiac Mk. III Transmission: manualMileage:9842The Ford Zephyr and its variant, the Zodiac, were the largest passenger cars in the British Ford range and were manufactured from 1950 through to 1972. The Zodiac was an upmarket version of the Zephyr 6 but differed considerably from that model by the limousine-type rear doors, sharper roofline (with narrower C-pillar), unique grille (four headlights instead of two), plusher seating with up-market upholstery, dashboard and interior fittings. A choice of individual or bench front seat was available; the front doors and bonnet panels were shared with the Zephyr 6. The 2553cc single-carburettor six-cylinder engine was improved internally to increase the power output to 109bhp, hence the brakes were uprated and were servo assisted, using discs at the front and drums at the rear. A Zodiac Mk. III saloon tested by 'The Motor' magazine in 1962 had a top speed of 100.7mph and cost £1070 on the road including taxes.First registered on the 1st February 1966 this Mk. III Zodiac has been owned by our vendor for the past nine years. With just four previous keepers in 56 years, we are informed the car is mechanically very sound having benefitted from an older restoration. Unfortunately, the paintwork has deteriorated and thus the car could benefit from new paint should an owner wish. Structurally we are in informed the car is sound and the underside has been undersealed by our vendor to protect, this Zodiac also benefits from new plugs and battery. Requiring some cosmetic TLC the chrome is generally very good. The interior is also in fine order and we believe original, a lovely example of the iconic 60s design and mechanically sound this would make an ideal 'light' project.Guide Price £5,000 - £7,000
1994 Jaguar XJS Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:78160The Jaguar XJS offers its owners a slice of well deserved motoring history - defying critics, as it did, to become one of the world's most successful GT cars. From the introduction of the HE engine in 1982, the 3.6 AJ6 engine in 1984 which expanded to four litres in 1989, the cabriolet in 1985, the full convertible in 1988 and the face-lift model in 1993 to the final commemorative model in 1995. The XJS was continuously developed during its 20 year production life. It is, though, the facelift model presented here today offering a more modern look and feel. Better performance from the new 16, five-spoke alloys and an improved interior with the biggest change being the long-awaited addition of proper rear seats. In June the following year, Jaguar introduced a new engine, the AJ16. An evolution of the proven AJ6 engine, it featured a new cylinder head, increased compression, sequential fuel injection and numerous other changes to provide better fuel economy, driveability, refinement, and performance.This elegant XJS convertible offered in Metallic Blue with contrasting beige leather interior, benefits from a high specification. It is offered with a wealth of history and comes with a manual gearbox, rarely seen in a XJS. The woodwork is in good order throughout, as is the paintwork which retains a deep shine. The chrome is bright, although there are some scrapes and blemishes to the bumpers from general use. The electric hood and windows are in perfect working condition and look superb. Supplied with a V5C registration document, a valid MoT test certificate, and the handbook pack containing all the appropriate books including service stamps and history. This really is a fine example of a desirable and iconic grand tourer which begs to be taken to the South of France with the roof down to see exactly why Jaguar sold these cars so successfully.
1968 Jaguar 240 Transmission: manualMileage:47317The lineage of the Mk. II can be directly traced back to its predecessor, the 2.4 saloon or Mk. I as it would come to be known in later years. This sporting saloon, designed to fill the gap in Jaguar's range between the XK sports and the voluminous Mk. VII, entered the market in 1956. Power came from the legendary XK straight six, twin cam engine in 2483cc form. The 2.4 was notable as being a complete breakaway from the previous designs of (Sir) William Lyons and Co. and was their first foray into the modern world of monocoque construction. Traditional Jaguar buyers would not feel alienated by the new offering from Coventry however, as the interior was still up to their usual standards with ample legroom and walnut being the order of the day.This nice example is presented in Old English White with a red interior - such a classic combination for a Jaguar! It has had four former keepers and has a manual gearbox with overdrive which is mated to its 2.4 six-cylinder engine. There is some history with the car and according to the HPi its previous colour was green.
1986 Trabant P601 Kombi Estate Transmission: manualMileage:55598With a production run that lasted from 1963 until 1991, the Trabant 601 was unsurprisingly the most well-known model of the 2.8 million 'Trabis' finding homes. Produced by VEB Sachsenring in Saxony, the Trabant was the East German answer to its West German counterpart the VW Beetle. Affordable to buy and cheap to run, the Trabant displayed elements ahead of its time including front wheel drive, all round independent suspension and a low maintenance engine. Costing 8,500 DEM (German Marks) or £3,600 in later production years, there was often a 10-year waiting list to take delivery of one.This interesting 1986 Trabant P601 Kombi Estate was driven some years ago from Germany to County Cork in Ireland after the fall of the Berlin wall. While in the possession of the previous owner it was kept in a garage and only taken out to local shows. Just before being sold to the current owner in 2016, it was recommissioned with a rebuilt starter motor, brake rebuild and suspension overhaul. Registered in the UK at the end of 2016 it is finished in blue with brown and tan cloth interior. This Trabant is supplied with a V5 registration document and copies of the German documents. A true collector's piece from the cold war.
1973 Triumph TR6 Transmission: manualMileage:78000The TR6 was introduced in 1968 and was the bestseller of the TR range when production ended in July 1976. The bodywork closely resembled that of the previous model, the Triumph TR5. The design house, Karmann Consultants, squared off the front and back ends to give the TR6 its sharpened look. Fitted with a 2.5 litre, in-line, six-cylinder engine, the TR6 could reach 60mph in just over 8.5 seconds and onto a top speed of 120mph. It featured a four-speed manual transmission with an optional overdrive unit and semi-trailing arm independent rear suspension, 15 wheels and tyres, bucket seats and a full complement of instrumentation.This example registered new on 10th September 1973 is an original UK supplied example and is presented in metallic green with black trim and is offered with Wolfrace wheels and has been fitted with twin carburettors. The paintwork retains a deep shine and it is also fitted with a rare and desirable factory hard top. The Triumph has been dry stored and exercised regularly. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document, various bills of maintenance work, old MoT test certificates and sundry invoices. This privately owned classic is fabulous opportunity to acquire a classic that can be used and improved to the new owners wishes. A perfect starting place for any classic car enthusiast the TR looks superb in metallic green coachwork and we are sure will be huge amounts of fun for its new owner.
1973 MG Midget Transmission: manualMileage:14300First introduced by the British Motor Corporation in Monte Carlo on 20th May 1958 and intended as a low-cost model, the Sprite was designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company. The low cost of £669 was achieved by using a mildly tuned version of the A Series engine and as many other components from existing cars as possible. Manufactured at the MG sports car factory at Abingdon, it was not surprising that the success of the design would lead to an MG version, which was known as the Midget. In 1969 a 'British Leyland' makeover was applied to the Sprite, consisting of matt black paint on the sills, Rostyle wheels and a plastic front grille. In 1974, to meet US federal regulations, large black plastic bumpers were added to the front and rear and the ride height was increased; an anti-roll bar was added to help with the higher centre of gravity. The A-Series engine was replaced by the 1493cc unit from the Triumph Spitfire. The last car was manufactured on 7th December 1979, after 73,899 of the final version had been produced. This MG Midget was registered in December 1973 and presents in white with a contrasting black interior. This enthusiast owned car was a perfect lock down project and as such benefitted from the impressive list of works detailed in the file that accompanies the car. The progress of the jobs done were also recorded photographically. The list runs to nearly six pages and viewing by any potential buyer is recommended. It includes replacement of nearly all the braking system, a new stainless exhaust, the rebuilding of the suspension, servicing of the engine, the fitting of a new ignition system, the coolant system being disassembled and flushed, and the fitting of a new cylinder head, manifold and rocker cover gaskets. A de-coke was carried out and the valves lapped during the head gasket change. Offered to auction with a V5 registration document and although exempt by virtue of its age a valid MoT test certificate. Offered without reserve this MG would make an ideal first classic or be enjoyed by any enthusiast.
1964 Jaguar Mk. II (3.8 Litre) Transmission: automaticMileage:2030The Jaguar Mk. II was a medium sized saloon built from 1959 to 1967 as a successor to the 2.4 and 3.4 litre models. The Mk. II was handsome, powerful, and good handling saloon which was offered with a choice of three six-cylinder twin cam engines; 2.4 litre, 3.4 litre or 3.8 litre. After the appreciation of the Mk. I, Jaguar's successor was well received thus making a good car even better. Similar in appearance but with a bigger glass area, it boasted a wider track to improve road holding together with minor front suspension changes to reduce body roll and fitted with the new Dunlop disc brakes all-round rather than drum brakes. The 210bhp 3.4 litre engine variant proved to be the most popular, offering the best compromise between performance and economy. Naturally, the performance was excellent, and the Mk. II has enjoyed great success on the track and can still be a very competitive historic race car. Raced by all the top drivers of the day including Graham Hill, Roy Salvadori and Michael Parkes, the Mk. II scored victories throughout saloon car races in the 60's and was also raced across Europe in the Tour de France and Monte-Carlo rally. The car also gained a reputation as a capable 'getaway car' among the criminal underworld. The Mk. II had seating for five adults and in 3.8 litre specification, could outrun almost any other car on the road. This example is presented in light Quartz Gunmetal Grey with blue leather interior. This was originally a Rhodesian car which we understand was imported to the UK in 2014 and registered with the DVLA in May 2015. Its original 3.4 engine has been replaced by the more potent and powerful 3.8 litre which is mated to a Borg Warner three-speed automatic gearbox. The interior is in good condition with the burr walnut woodwork looking good and is complemented by the Moto-Lita wooden steering wheel, so evocative of this era. The car comes with an original Jaguar workshop manual, Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate and various invoices. These are quintessentially British and evoke many nostalgic memories for a great deal of people, this is no exception!
1992 Alfa Romeo Spider S4 Transmission: manualMileage:78000The Spider designation for the open top sports cars originates from the word, speeder, and a two-person open horse carriage. The Alfa Romeo 105/115 Series Spider was produced from 1966 to 1993, remaining in production for almost three decades with only minor aesthetic and mechanical changes. Widely regarded as a design classic, this fourth series version of production came with further mechanical and cosmetic changes. Mechanical changes saw the introduction of the Bosch Motronic electronic fuel injection with an electric fan and cosmetically, losing its front under bumper spoiler and the rear boot spoiler picking up 164-style rear lights stretching across the width of the car together with colour coordinated plastic bumpers.This pretty right hand drive S4 Spider is presented in black with tan leather trim boasting the 2.0 litre Alfa Romeo engine. With just five owners from new and just under 49,000 miles, this is a low mileage, low owner example with a comprehensive history file including servicing, bills, MoT test certificates and works from leading Alfa specialists. The paintwork has recently been fully colour sanded and is in very good. Offered with an MoT test certificate valid until February 2023, there are few better ways to spend sunny afternoons driving in the British countryside.Guide Price £13,000 - £18,000
2006 Subaru Imprezza WRX STi Transmission: manualMileage:76206With the humdrum shopping Impreza as its base, the Japanese engineers went full-on banzai to develop the Impreza Turbo into a street fighting machine that was at home on the track as it was a forestry rally stage. The WRX (World Rally eXperimental) flat-four engine is turbocharged and develops around 235bhp in initial trim. Relatively modest by today's standards but anything but in-period and is its lively engine is mated to a manual gearbox and a sophisticated four-wheel-drive system. A relatively lightweight car, it goes like stink and took the motoring world by storm. Rally win followed rally win - and the Brits wanted a piece of the action, importing both saloon and hatchback variants by the container load. The second-generation cars, available from 2000, officially boasted between 261bhp and 276bhp depending on the model, enough to propel the 1,360kg Impreza to a top speed of over 150mph via a 0-62mph time of under five seconds. Rallying legends such as Colin McRae and Richard Burns took the already potent Impreza STi and turned it into an iconic machine, the likes of which we will probably never see again. On a performance-per-pound basis they were extraordinarily cheap when they were new, and a series of upgrades and model changes that encouraged owners to change their cars more frequently than they might otherwise have done, meaning they depreciated even more quickly than your usual performance car. This UK-supplied 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi is presented in the iconic Rally Blue with Speedline ProDrive wheels and currently showing it has been very well serviced throughout its life and in 2021 it was significantly improved and upgraded. Featuring a Cosworth air intake and a modified exhaust, it looks and sounds incredible and goes like the clappers! It's last owner, a fastidious JDM enthusiast, spent heavily during his ownership, enhancing its performance and reliability. The following parts were all fitted in 2021 and within the last 3000 miles: - ECU road Mapping Race Dynamix - RCM EJ25 Head Gasket - Timing Belt & Water Pump - Rocker Cover Gasket Set - Twin Scroll Half Sump Conversion Kit - RCM Hi-Performance Head Stud kit - ECU road Mapping Race Dynamic - Denso Front Lambda 2.0 Turbo - Walbro Fuel Pump - Zunsport Full Grille Set - Two Piece Diffuser - Killer B Motorsport Ultimate Oil Pickup - Cylinder Head Refurbishment In addition, many other serviceable items were carried out throughout 2021 please see the service history in the photos. The car comes with a spare key, all the original handbooks and service book that is well stamped up by a variety of specialists at the following intervals, the last stamp being 28/2/22 09/05/2006 - 1132 miles - Subaru Donelly, Belfast 03/03/2008 - 11409 miles - Subaru Edwin Long Motors, Belfast 13/01/2010 - 23260 miles - Subaru Edwin Long Motors, Belfast 15/11/2012 - 30154 miles - AutoQ, Belfast 31/03/2013 - 41092 miles - BM Motors, Belfast (Cambelt + tensioners) 17/05/2014 - 48066 miles - Themotorgym, Belfast 13/05/2015 - 55138 miles - Wylie Motors, Belfast (Front pads) 58000 miles - C.A.E - (Clutch, Cambelt, Head Gasket) 04/08/2016 - 60989 miles - Wolverhampton Subaru 27/9/2017 - 64974 miles - Paul Caswell Cars (Gearbox + Diff Oil Change) 01/08/2018 - 68410 miles - Paul Caswell Cars 13/08/2019 - 72439 miles - Paul Caswell Cars 07/07/2021 - 74329 miles - East Kent Subaru (Cambelt + Full Service) Compared to the far more expensive and smaller engine sister Impreza WRX STi from the JDM market, this provides excellent value and is the preferred choice for many. The car is supplied with a fresh MoT test certificate.
1969 MG C Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:34589The arrival of the MGC in 1967 was greeted with mixed reaction from enthusiasts and the motoring press alike. It can be described as one of the most controversial sports cars ever produced from Abingdon and during its short life the car was never short of attention, particularly from journalists. Upon its launch, the MGC was available in roadster form at £1,102 and in GT form at £1,249 and was considered very reasonably priced for one of the fastest production MGs produced. If, however, used as a relaxed high-speed tourer, the MGC was an extremely civilised motor car to drive. This example is presented in red with a black leather interior and black hood. There is a history file with invoices detailing its recommissioning and also the car comes with a Heritage Certificate. In the history file there is some paperwork outlining what works have been carried out in detail in 2016 and before (too much to mention in this description). In short, a considerable amount of money has been spent on this lovely MGC, the details of which are worth reading. These rare models with their six-cylinder 2.6 litre engine are only visibly different from other roadsters, by the small bump on the bonnet! These are fun to drive with their lively engine which produces a very satisfying exhaust note. It's a fun, fast and affordable classic offering open top motoring as all classics should be!
1967 Austin Mini Banham Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:42000This stunning Austin Mini Banham Speedster started as an, already desirable, 1967 Austin Mini 850 but has been subject to a nut and bolt restoration which was completed in 2012, and the car has covered minimal mileage since the completion of the restoration. We are informed this transformation was completed by a highly skilled Marine engineer and fabricator, to an exceptional standard using genuine Banham strengthening parts, professionally installed and seam welded with extra triangular braces added to the A and B pillars and seat belt mounting points along the sills. The restoration included a full blasted shell and new heritage panels where necessary, the panels were de-seamed and lead filled before being treated to a 2K Ultra Black finish. The bespoke rear deck is held tight but can be removed, it is held in place with stainless steel screws from the rear window.New subframes, bushes, suspension arms, wheel bearings, brakes including calipers, braided brake lines and servo assisted brakes have all been fitted and we are informed every nut and bolt has either been chromed, painted or replaced. Sportspack arches were cut and profiled to fit flush against the panels, they sit above new staggered Minilite wheels and tyres with Spax adjustable dampers and Fusion sound package which includes a Sony stereo hidden under the dash. The car has custom door cards, full carpet and RS Turbo Recaro seats retrimmed in leather with green stitching. The 1275cc engine was completely rebuilt with a stainless exhaust and water-cooled aluminium inlet manifold. As you can see, the build was somewhat painstaking and the quality of the finish is worthy of any show. Dry stored ever since the restoration, this unique Mini really needs to be seen in the flesh for it to be fully appreciated.
1994 Rover Mini Cooper (1.3 Litre) Transmission: manualMileage:35147The Mini was manufactured by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original is considered a British icon of the 1960s and its space-saving front-wheel drive layout allowing 80% of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage, influenced a generation of car makers. In 1999, the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century behind the Ford Model T. Initially Minis were marketed under the Austin and Morris names until Mini became a marque in its own right in 1969. The Mini was again marketed under the Austin name in the 1980s and was offered in a number of limited editions that usually included a special combination of trim and badging.This lovely Rover Mini Cooper has been in a private collection since 2018, and while in his ownership it has been completely gone through and any faults corrected. According to the MoT history it appears that the car has only covered 1000 miles in the last ten years. Also, from the MoT history it seems that the speedo was changed sometime around 2010/11. Finished in green with a white roof, and black seats piped in red, this Mini Cooper is fitted with a wooden dashboard, rev counter and twin spotlights. The car is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT certificate which expires in June 2023, the handbook pack and a file containing old MoT's and invoices. This is an attractive example ready for a new custodian to enjoy.
1989 Volkswagen Golf Mk. II Van Transmission: manualMileage:99000In May 1974, Volkswagen presented the first-generation Golf as a modern front-wheel drive, long-range replacement for the Volkswagen Beetle. Later Golf variations included the Golf GTI 'hot hatch' introduced in June 1976, a diesel powered version from September 1976, the Jetta notchback saloon in October 1979 and from the end of 1979 the Golf cabriolet built by Karmann. September 1983 saw the introduction of the second-generation Volkswagen Golf, the Mk. II, that grew slightly in terms of wheelbase, exterior and interior dimensions while retaining, in a more rounded form, the Mk. I's overall look.This Golf van was originally registered on 1st August 1989 and even though it is a van, it has rear seats fitted to it. The condition of this exceedingly rare Volkswagen is excellent, it is remarkably original, with the original paint rubbing through to the primer in places. The current owner rescued the van and has spent the last 12 months recommissioning it, this includes a new head gasket, engine sump, radiator and water pump. The brakes have also been overhauled including new brake pipes and she has been shod with new tyres. Mk. II Golf's are rare, original condition is even rarer but a van! When was the last time you saw one?
1973 Lotus Elan Plus 2 JPS Special Transmission: manualMileage:Released in 1967 the Elan Plus 2 was introduced to a motoring public who craved the long-distance versatility of a Grand Touring Coupé coupled to the Elans already established fantastic performance and roadholding. Lotus stretched the existing Elans wheelbase by 12 inches, added 24 inches to the overall length and balanced things up by making the car 10 inches wider. The result was a superbly balanced coupe which made no compromises when compared to its little brother's performance. With some 5,200 Plus 2 examples built with arguably the most desirable and sought-after models being the 'John Player Special' commemorative edition, built to celebrate the first 50 consecutive wins by the Lotus team in world championship motor racing. The impressive and rare car offered here is no. 22 of the 115 examples built. It presents in the special edition colours of black with gold roof and sills, this is complemented with an oatmeal interior. It benefits from a genuine replacement Lotus galvanised chassis and a Mick Miller solid driveshaft conversion. Prior to the vendors purchase a full suspension and braking system overhaul was undertaken including the replacement of the exhaust system. The vendor tells us that the car has seen very little use during his six year tenure. We are also informed that the paintwork may benefit from some attention. That aside this rare Lotus is ready to be enjoyed and is offered with a V5c registration document, a Lotus Certificate of vehicle Provenance, a letter from the archives at Lotus detailing the cars origins and a file containing various bills and receipts.
1989 Mini Moke Transmission: manualMileage:14000The Mini Moke is a vehicle based on the Mini and designed for the British Motor Corporation (BMC) by Sir Alec Issigonis. The name comes from 'Mini'- the car with which the Moke shares many parts - and 'Moke', which is an archaic dialect term for donkey. The initial design was a prototype for a light military vehicle in the style of the American Jeep, but its small wheels and low ground clearance made it impractical as an off-road vehicle. It was subsequently offered in a civilian version as a low-cost, easily maintained utility vehicle. The Moke finally achieved success as a beach buggy, becoming a popular 'cult' vehicle in the Seychelles, Australia, the United States and many tropical resorts in the Caribbean. Now equally as collectable as the Willys Jeep and Land Rover, a Moke offers fun in abundance whether popping to the shops or a trip along a coastal road in the sun.Originally registered in the UK but exported to the Isle of Man before returning to the UK, this delightful Moke is presented in red and has covered a mere 14,000 miles from new. Having always been garaged this is described as rust free and the spare wheel has indeed never been used. These Rover Portuguese Mini Mokes are true fun cars to drive and this Moke is no exception. Recently MoT'd and ready for the summer it is supplied with a new hood supplied by Runamoke which will need fitting and matches the spare wheel cover. Interested parties please note, this example is not sold with a V5 however the V5 has been successfully applied for and the DVLA have requested an inspection on the 25th July. Should the new owner wish we can hold the car at the Historics showroom until inspected and he/she can collect from the Historics Showroom shortly after with a new V5 to follow.
1974 BMW 2002 Baur Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:98000The BMW 2002 series is important in the history of BMW for several reasons; not least of which being that it brought the company out of near bankruptcy in the 1960s and put BMW on the map in the United States. It was the ancestral grandfather to the BMW 3 Series and was produced from 1968 to 1976. German BMW importer Max Hoffman is credited with the car's creation. He had suggested to BMW's engineering director that a 2.0 litre engine should be installed into the small two-door 1602 to improve performance and emissions. The resulting 2002 (named after the new motor's displacement) was popular in its first year on sale. This BMW 2002 is one of only 354 examples manufactured in right hand drive format. Conversions on these outstanding vehicles were carried out by coachbuilder Karosserie Baur in Stuttgart. Baur retained a 'T' bar in the roof design helping to dramatically reduce any scuttle shake.This 2002 convertible by Baur is presented in an individual bronze metallic with the original houndstooth trim. With just three previous owners, the last for 33 years, it has been sympathetically restored over its life including new wings - a rolling restoration some may say. A real car for the enthusiast offered with a new MoT test certificate and long-term low ownership.Guide Price £12,000 - £16,000
1949 Brockhouse Corgi Transmission: manualMileage:Founded by managing director John Dolphin at the end of the Second World War in 1946 the Corgi Motorcycle Company was formed to develop a civilian version of his 98cc Welbike, which had been designed at The Frythe in Hertfordshire to be dropped by parachute to support airborne troops. Brockhouse Engineering of Southport built the Mk. III Corgi scooters, powered by an Excelsior Spryt Autocycle engine under licence. Many of these were exported to the United States between 1947 and 1954. Sold through a department store, the Corgi was branded the Indian Papoose in the US market. This example presents in black with a red tank and benefits from optional external two speed gearbox, a running and riding example with UK V5 registration certificate, Vintage Motorcycle club dating certificate, and handbook.Guide Price £2,000 - £4,000
1961 Rover 100 Transmission: manualMileage:80500The Rover P4 series is a group of mid-size luxury saloons produced from 1949 until 1964. They were designed by Gordon Bashford. Their P4 designation is factory terminology for this group of cars and was not in day-to-day use by ordinary owners who would have used the appropriate consumer designations for their models such as Rover 90 or Rover 100. Production began in 1949 with the six-cylinder 2.1-litre Rover 75. Four years later a two-litre, four-cylinder Rover 60 was brought to the market to fit below the 75 and a 2.6-litre, six-cylinder Rover 90 to top the three-car range. Several variations followed. These cars are very much part of British culture and became known as the 'Auntie' Rovers. They were driven by royalty including Grace Kelly and King Hussein of Jordan whose first ever car was a 1952 Rover 75.This engineer and enthusiast owned Rover 100 was registered in May 1961 and presents in cream bodywork with a blue interior. This rover has been in the vendors possession for 31 years. We are informed that the car has always been well maintained and all the controls work well. The vendor also tells us that he picked up his newly born daughter from the hospital in the Rover in 1992 and that he dropped her off in that same car at her wedding in Italy in 2022. The file for this Rover 100 contains an extensive MoT test history and both the operating and workshop manuals. Presented to auction with a V5 registration document and a fresh MoT test certificate this P4 is offered without reserve.
1991 Porsche 944 Turbo Transmission: manualMileage:115040Following the international success of the 924, a more powerful Porsche designed all-alloy, 2.5 litre, inline four engine was introduced in 1982 for the 944. Porsche engineers were able to produce a very smooth-running engine by utilising two counter-rotating balance shafts running at twice engine speed making the four-cylinder engine feel as smooth as a six. Cosmetically, the bodywork was revised with wider wheel arches, a fresh interior and upgrades to the braking and suspension systems also being added. The Turbo was a far superior car to the normally aspirated models. From 1989-1991 the 'SE' specification was adopted for the standard 944 Turbo, with the 1991 cars running a more attractive fibreglass spoiler.This lovely Porsche 944 Turbo has effectively had one owner from new, purchased in 1991 by the Lambert Fenchurch Group for the sole use of Mr. D H Griffiths. He liked the car so much that he acquired the car from the company in 1998 and has been the registered keeper since. From 2002 it has been fully maintained by marque specialists Chelsea Carrera based in High Wycombe and if the car required any work, it was carried out regardless of cost. Recently it has been refurbished cosmetically; all the glass was removed, the car prepared and repainted in the original colour of Baltic Blue metallic. The interior was retrimmed in the correct blue materials supplied by Southbound Trimmers and the wheels refurbished. It has also received a major service and had the cambelts replaced. This 944 Turbo is supplied with a V5C registration document in Mr. Griffiths name, an MoT test certificate which expires in March 2023, a file containing invoices from 2002 totalling over £30,000, a letter about the transfer of the car and a number of old MoT test certificates. This is a highly desirable 944, one for the serious enthusiast of the front-engined Porsche.
1968 Ford Cortina Mk. II 1600E (Series I) Transmission: manualMileage:7705The second incarnation of the Cortina was designed by Roy Haynes and was launched on 18th October 1966. One of the best loved versions of that Cortina appeared in 1967, the 1600E, which was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in October of that year. The mechanical specification included an 88bhp, 1600cc Cortina GT engine which achieved a fuel consumption of 25 miles per gallon. The 1600E interior came equally well equipped and included special rear bucket seats, reclining front seats, sports steering wheel, extra instruments and wood trim. Production ended in 1970 and, despite attempts at reviving the idea of an 'Executive' version of other, later models, Ford never recaptured the original feel of the Cortina Mk. II based 1600E. For 1969, the Mk. II model was given subtle revisions with separate 'FORD' block letters mounted on the bonnet and boot lid, a blacked-out grille and chrome strips above and below the rear lights running the full width of the rear panel on the Series II.This fabulous Cortina was originally registered on 3rd April 1968 and presents in stunning condition. Clearly the subject of a total restoration, the bodywork is superb, she is as clean underneath as it is on top. The red coachwork is to a very good standard and the black interior unmarked. We are advised the car starts on the button and drives well. These are very simple cars mechanically and a competent DIY mechanic can carry out routine maintenance. The quality of this 1600E has to be seen to be appreciated, the Series I instantly recognisable by the four dials set high in the dashboard. The performance of these classic Fords was considered brisk in the day, the 1600GT Kent engine offered good acceleration and is a very reliable unit. Offered for sale with a V5/C document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 20th January 2023, we expect this Ford Cortina 1600E to create significant interest.
2014 Land Rover Defender 110 Double Cab Pick-Up Transmission: manualMileage:40612The original Land Rover Series began production in Solihull in 1948 and until its decades-long production run ended in 2016, more than two million Defenders were produced, becoming a British automotive icon. Since production ceased, the revered model has been in increased demand from both collectors and those willing to use this tough, utilitarian vehicle in the way it was designed for. It was only in 1989, following the introduction of the all-new Land Rover Discovery, that the Defender received its own name. This was not only a marketing exercise; the new Defender received a raft of upgrades, along with a new turbo diesel engine that brought useful increases in power, torque, and fuel economy when compared with the old, normally aspirated diesel it was based on. Often boasting large 'Defender' logos, the Land Rover went through a continuous process of development, gaining disc brakes and power-assisted steering as standard during the 1990s, together with a host of other improvements.This Land Rover was originally supplied by Guy Salmon in Bristol on 31st March 2014. The specification of this Double Cab includes side steps and a Safari style roof rack, upgraded alloys, front bull-bar with spotlights and a multi-height tow-bar. We are advised this low mileage example drives as good as she looks, it has clearly been a well-cared example. Supplied with a V5 registration document, a current MoT test certificate and a print-out of the service history confirming the mileage. These robust, go anywhere vehicles have become increasingly desirable in recent years, this great utilitarian vehicle is sure to be one that catches the eye.
1972 Jensen Interceptor Mk. III Transmission: automaticMileage:49900Launched in 1966, the Jensen Interceptor broke away from the company's traditional method of construction that used glass reinforced plastic with the new car now incorporating an all steel bodyshell. Designed by Carrozzeria Touring, the early cars were built by Vignale before production was eventually carried out at the Jensen works in West Bromwich. Power was delivered by the Chrysler 6276cc V8 through a TorqueFlite automatic transmission and final drive being a Salisbury axle with limited slip differential. A manual gearbox was offered as an option. 1968 saw the addition of power steering and in 1969 the Mk. II was introduced with detail upgrades that included a revised front end and ventilated disc brakes. 1971 saw the introduction of the Mk. III; the engine size was increased to 7212cc and was at this time, the most powerful engine Jensen had produced. The imposing presence, power and distinctive shape that included the wrap around glass rear hatch drew the rich and famous to the marque and famously, Princess Anne owned one. Production ceased in 1976 with a total of 6408 Mk. I, Mk. II and Mk. III Interceptors built between 1966 and 1976. Manufactured in 1972, this wonderful example is presented in good order throughout and is offered in black with a black leather interior. Having been in the current ownership for five years, this Jensen has been treated to maintenance work where necessary including a new heater matrix, a NOS vacuum switcher and a Fenair air conditioning kit fitted; the engine bay wiring was also replaced, with other electrical parts replaced where necessary including a new window motor and mechanism on the driver's door and a reconditioned oil gauge. As such, this Interceptor is in good running and driving condition. The paintwork retains a deep shine and the chromework is bright. Offered with a good history file including old MoT test certificates, various bills, invoices of maintenance work and a UK V5C registration document.
2010 Bentley GT Speed Transmission: automaticMileage:21065The Bentley Continental GT was the first model introduced by Bentley Motors following its acquisition by the Volkswagen Group in 1998. A Torsen-type permanent four-wheel-drive six-speed transmission was standard equipment, and the Continental GT could accelerate from 0-62mph in 4.8 seconds on its way to a top speed of 197.6mph. A mechanically identical Continental GTC Convertible was made available for 2006, followed by another version of the Coupé: the range-topping GT Speed. As its name suggests, the GT Speed offered greater power and increased performance; the 6.0-litre W12 engine produced 600bhp and heaps more torque (553lb/ft), while the running gear was comprehensively upgraded with a strengthened gearbox; firmer suspension; revised steering; optional carbon ceramic brakes; and the Mulliner specification interior. This lovely example is presented in metallic blue with its lavish cross stitched blue leather interior. The first owner ordered many options that were available from the factory and so is probably one of the best on the market today. It is a low ownership example with only having covered a mere 21,064 miles from new with the last service carried out at 21,000 miles. Most of its servicing has been carried out by Bentley Cheshire, Glasgow and Jack Barclay. It comes with a spare key, Bentley manual and its cherished private registration number. This Bentley has been beautifully looked after with little to no marks to its paintwork or interior. A truly wonderful motor car which exudes opulence, elegantly, with performance to match - what a great combination for a fraction of the price of a new one. Treat yourself this Summer!
1963 Triumph TR4 (Surrey Top) Transmission: manualMileage:Produced between 1961 and 1967, the TR4 combined a new, modern and aggressive body design by famed Italian stylist, Giovanni Michelotti with the basic chassis of the previous TR3A. The TR4 also improved passenger comfort with wind-up windows, face-level ventilation and an optional hardtop. The 2138cc engine of the late-production TR3A continued while the 1991cc engine was also made available to buyers who wanted to participate in two litre racing. When equipped with the optional overdrive, the TR4 was good for a top speed of almost 110mph. Today, the four-cylinder TR's are among the easiest of post-war classic sports cars to own and maintain being supported by a multitude of component suppliers and other specialists.This lovely UK supplied, right hand drive, 1963 Triumph TR4 with overdrive and Surrey top was the subject to a 'body off' ground up restoration a number of years ago. During the restoration they managed to retain certain original features including the white dashboard and the passenger grab handle. The current owner has informed us that it drives very well, with good oil pressure and a working overdrive unit. Looking resplendent in Masons Black with black leather seats from a Mazda MX5 and chrome wire wheels, this Triumph TR4 is supplied with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate which expires in May 2023. This realistically priced, quintessentially British sports car should generate significant interest both within the TR Register and wider classic car enthusiasts' community.
1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 SL California Coupé Transmission: automaticMileage:74809The stylish Mercedes-Benz W113 was presented at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show and replaced both the expensive 300 SL and entry-level 190 SL with one medium-priced two-seat sports car. The SL was a huge success, with 48,912 sold in nine years, and is now considered a true masterpiece. The body combines the elegantly trim look of contemporary Mercedes saloons with a simple grille derived from the 300 SL. Bela Barenyi conceived the patented concave hardtop, soon called the 'Pagoda.' Like the best designs, the W113 has proven to be timeless in its appeal. We are pleased to offer an exceptionally fine example of one of the rarer designations for these cars, the 'California Coupé', with the single bench seat as designated by option '417' on its factory record. Offered with an original owner's manual, service book, V5 registration document and various bills and receipts this Pagoda style Mercedes has undergone a photographic restoration and presents extremely well in blue with a black interior. This right hand drive automatic example is a timeless blue chip ultra-rare classic and given recent sales appears to be reasonably estimated.
1967 Triumph TR4A IRS Transmission: manualMileage:2313Produced between 1961 and 1967, the Triumph TR4 combined a new, modern, and aggressive body design by famed Italian stylist, Giovanni Michelotti, with the basic chassis of the previous TR3A. The TR4 also improved passenger comfort with wind-up windows, face-level ventilation, and an optional hardtop. When equipped with the optional overdrive, the TR4 was good for a top speed of almost 110mph. Following on from the TR4, the new TR4A was phased in smoothly at the beginning of 1965 and introduced an all new independent rear suspension system (IRS), which provided exceptional rear wheel camber control with excellent wheel travel while softer springs improved the ride quality. The press was happy to see an all independent car, and Triumph was pleased to be the first British car manufacturer to have all independent suspensions under every car in their line-up. At the Sebring 12 Hours in 1966, ample proof of the validity of the IRS was provided when three IRS equipped TR4As achieved a remarkable 1-2-3 class victory.Unrivalled by any TR4A the consigner has ever seen before, the example offered here is certainly impressive and one that is not to be missed. The supplied BMI Heritage certificate tells us that this car is a home market example, despatched in May 1967, but not registered until September 1967 in Tonbridge Wells. Unusually, as a very late model TR4A, the car has the 'squared off' seats that were to be fitted to the TR5's. It is also fitted with the correct 'gold' shocks, an overdrive gearbox, original Stampart seatbelts, original steering wheel, original centre binnacle, Lucas PL headlights, original switches, a rear seat, correct 60 spoke wheels shod by Period Michelin tyres and boasts a mohair hood and hood cover. The car was subject to a high-level restoration around 2007 that had concours in mind. As such, extra attention to the quality of the restoration was made. A nut and bolt, ground up restoration was undertaken and the resulting panel gaps are unlike any the consigner has seen on a TR before. The underneath of the car is as clean as above with the engine bay just as beautifully presented. Indeed, the vendor reports the car to run and drive as flawlessly as it looks, with the overdrive gearbox also shifting perfectly.Supplied with a UK V5C registration document, BMI Heritage Certificate, owner's handbook, original chassis plate, photographic record of its restoration, file of receipts and a MoT test certificate valid until July 2023. To restore a car to this level today would be incredibly expensive and as a result, presents a unique opportunity.
1971 Ford Escort Mk. I Twin Cam Transmission: manualMileage:107218Having witnessed one of the Escort prototypes being tested during early 1967, Henry Taylor, Ford's competition department manager, thought the new model would be an ideal platform for the Lotus Twin Cam engine. The shell was strengthened and there were also some modifications under the bonnet and the front bumpers were split into two halves so the oil-cooler could be allowed to breathe more efficiently. The suspension was completely redesigned and brakes were bigger. In January 1969, Ford switched the original rectangular headlights to more effective circular units. Such luminaries such as Roger Clark and Hannu Mikkola drove these cars to victory and their name became a byword in Rally stages across the world. Production of the Escort Twin Cam was discontinued in June 1971 with just 883 ever built with only 380 with circular headlights and just a handful surviving.This rare example, in classic Ermine White, is presented in standard road trim. It was first delivered to KT Dartford Ford of Kent and purchased subsequently purchased by the current owner in 1979. He sold it three years later but couldn't bear to be parted and re-acquired the car in 2009 and has owned it for the last 13 years. Included in the history file is photographic evidence of a complete strip down and repaint some years ago with the paint work remaining in good order today. All elements appear sound underneath the bonnet including the vital but subtle 'Twin Cam' moniker to the rear boot lid. The interior shows the correct specification instrumentation with a six-gauge oval binnacle and natural alloy fascia. Optional black padded 'contour' seats have been installed combined with a deep-dish, three-spoke steering wheel. This example, reportedly, is incredibly reliable and benefits from recent Gaz strut inserts in the front suspension, a new battery, a full one-year MoT, the original owner's handbook and supplementary workshop manual. Interested parties should note that following discussions with the Twin Cam Registrar, Mark Heath, of the AVO Owner’s Club and following a face-to-face ‘Zoom’ call, his opinion is that this represents a correct ‘Twin Cam’ Escort although some elements would need adjustment before it became 100% accurate.
1950 Jaguar Mk. V Saloon (2½ litre) Transmission: manualMileage:54333Supplied new by main agents Boorers of Worthing on 21st April 1950 and sold to Mr E. C. Pearson Esq of Cromwell Road, Hove, East Sussex. Finished in black coachwork with tan leather hides, this right hand drive 'home market' example was one of only 1481 Mk. V 2 ½ Litre saloons built in right hand drive from the total Jaguar MK. V production of 10,499 cars built. Sold to Mr F. E. Cragg on June 1st 1961, where it would remain within his family ownership for a remarkable further sixty years after.Offered with two original service booklets issued by Boorers that detail the early service records from 1950-62, showing regular maintenance throughout that period and note the engine was reconditioned in November 1962. Notes on file from Mr Cragg state the mileage was 45,119 miles when he acquired the car in 1961 and it was used regularly until 1966, when it was taken off the road and dry stored with mileage reading 52,786 miles. The Jaguar would remain stored in his garage for the next 33 years until 1999 when it was recommissioned. After little effort it was started up again, the brakes overhauled, new tyres fitted, new exhaust and service etc. as Mr. Cragg states 'I simply could not part with it.' Between 1999 and 2007 he continued to enjoy the Jaguar with his family on, showing the car at local car shows and it was a regular sight at Basingstoke Classic Car Club events. The car remained within his family until December 2021 when it was sold and today has just 54,333 miles showing on the odometer. This rare and desirable Jaguar presents in remarkably original and sound condition, with original paintwork and original trim. Seldom do cars of this vintage survive in such well-preserved condition and display such wonderful patination throughout, indeed the car is a testament to the care of its long term owner; and a great candidate and potential winner for the preservation class at concours events. The vendor states it has benefitted from recent attention to the brakes including a rebuild of the master cylinder, and performed well on a recent test drive; the engine running well and displaying good oil pressure, and the brakes operating as they should. Interested parties are advised that further recommissioning works are recommended before regular use.Supplied with the aforementioned Boorers service booklets, complete and original tool kit, original owners handbook, original service manual, original parts manual and UK V5C registration document. Offered at an incredibly attractive estimate, this Jaguar offers a huge amount of style and history for a very modest outlay.
1980 Triumph TR8 Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:78419The TR8 that appeared on the North American market used the all-alloy 3.5 litre V8 engine that had been powering Rovers since 1966. Most of the initial build cars came with dual Zenith Stromberg carburettors - only those sold into emission-conscious California used fuel injection from the outset. Early TR8s were only available in Coupé form - the much-admired convertible not reaching the market until October of their introductory year. British Leyland had eventually decided to introduce the TR8 to the UK and European markets in November 1981 and had constructed a mere 18 right hand drive cars at the Lode Lane Solihull Factory some weeks before. Shortly after these examples were built British Leyland executives decided to cancel the whole TR range and plans to build the TR8 in any volume were scrapped.This 1980 Triumph was built as a TR7 convertible, to Californian specification, and was due to be sent there on completion. In 1979 British Leyland's last-ditch attempt to keep the TR7 viable they took twenty-five cars, twenty fully built, and five partially built cars off the production line and gave them to their development department. This was to drive costs down and develop the 'O' series engine, possibly with 16 valves and certainly to build a turbo version. When the development of these cars concluded in June 1981 all the running gear was removed, the cars were listed as scrapped and went back to the production line. KHP 542V, being one of these cars, was rebuilt as a right hand drive TR8, fitted with the 3.5 litre V8 engine with a manual gearbox and sold in the UK. Purchased by the current owner in 2011 he kept the car in storage before sending it to British classic car restorers M. V. Classics Ltd., of Southampton, Hampshire in 2014. Over the next two and half years they were responsible for the complete restoration at a cost in excess of £45,000, this included changing the colour from white to this lovely shade of blue. The interior remains black leather with black soft top roof. In 2018 the owner took and registered the car at his home in Guernsey where it has remained, with very little use, until being re-imported to the UK and registered with its original factory registration number. Further work was carried out while in the Channel Islands this included a new alternator and replacing the twin SU's, with manifold, for a new 'four pot' Holly downdraft carburettor which the owner tells us the power increase is staggering, and the handling is like driving a slot car around the track. Supplied with a V5 registration document and a file containing old MoT test certificates, a Heritage certificate, photographs and invoices from the restoration. A very rare English sportscar, an investment for the future.
1978 Porsche 911 SC Transmission: manualMileage:187300The Porsche 911 is the flagship car of the German manufacturer. It has a distinctive design, rear-engined, with independent rear suspension, an evolution of the swing axle on the Porsche 356. Since its introduction in 1963, the 911 has undergone continuous development although the basic concept has remained little changed. Throughout its lifetime, the 911 has been modified by private teams and by the factory itself for racing, rallying and other forms of competition and is among the most successful competition cars ever. The earliest edition of the 911 had a flat six engine in the 'boxer' configuration, similar to the 356, air-cooled, rear-mounted and displaced 1991cc. It was mated to a four or five-speed manual 'Type 901' gearbox. The car had four seats although, as the rear seats were quite small, the car is usually referred to as a 2+2 rather than a four-seater. Styling was largely by Ferdinand 'Butzi' Porsche, son of Ferdinand 'Ferry' Porsche, although Erwin Komenda, who was the leader of the Porsche car body construction department, was also involved in the design.Manufactured on 1st July 1978 as confirmed by the Certificate of Authenticity, this Porsche 911 has had an interesting life. The Petrol Blue coachwork is in relatively good order although it does show some age-related marks. The black seats have grey houndstooth inserts and would appear to have been restored at some stage. A comprehensive history folder accompanies this Porsche with two very well stamped service books. The engine was rebuilt in March 2002 at 157,011 miles and we are advised she runs well and offers a brisk performance; these larger engines can be great fun to drive. Supplied with a V5C registration document, this 911 Coupé is an iconic vehicle of the period. The soul of this car is very much alive and looking forward to the open road.
1966 Jaguar E-Type Series I Fixedhead Coupé (4.2 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:6826Famously launched at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar E-Type created a furore. Its combination of supercar performance, superb styling and a low price tag left rivals reeling and customers clamouring. Built as a monocoque with a front sub-frame to cradle the engine, the model's combination of all-round independent suspension (torsion-bar front/coil-sprung rear) rack and pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes gave it excellent road holding and handling capabilities. Fed by triple SU HD8 carburettors and topped with a 'straight port' DOHC cylinder head, its indomitable 3781cc straight-six engine was quoted as developing some 265bhp and 260lbft of torque. Allied to a four-speed Moss gearbox, it reputedly enabled the low-slung two-seater to sprint from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and onto 150mph. While any E-Type roadster is desirable, the lithesome free-revving 3.8 litre cars enjoy a particularly exalted status; however, the later Series I, 4.2 litre was a better engine.The supplied BMI Heritage certificate shows DWL 110D to have been completed on 12th January 1966 and dispatched to its distributor, Henlys Ltd of London on 24th January 1966. A home market, manual car that comes with a lovely history file chronicling its ownership and work carried out through most of its life. Amongst the correspondence is communications from Lynx Cars Ltd, the well respected Jaguar specialists, who were commissioned to restore the car to 'A1' standard in 1990. As part of their restoration, they included a photographic record of the car's restoration. Rather charmingly there are also many other correspondence between some earlier specialists communicating the progress of various works carried out on the car. The vendor, who has owned the car for the past ten years, has always garaged and maintained the car, having any work it has needed carried out immediately. The car has just had a major service, which included having the carburettors stripped and rebuilt, with the vendor reporting the car to run and drive very well. Indeed, when inspecting the car, the consigner was taken for a drive in it and was impressed by how well it ran. The interior presents very well and matches the mechanical condition of the car. There is some evidence of micro blistering in the car's paint, as well as the odd mark that is to be expected from an older restoration, but the car appears to be very solid, both structurally and mechanically.Supplied with a UK V5C registration document, BMI Heritage Certificate, MoT test certificates dating back to the early 1980's, (as well its current MoT being valid through until May 2023), toolkit and file of receipts and history of the car's life. The 4.2 coupé is a rare car these days, especially as a home market car in manual and is generally considered the best driving of all the E-Types.
1972 Aston Martin Vantage Transmission: manualMileage:67857All 70 of these fantastic cars were 'Vantage-engined' to the highest state of tune for this engine - 'SVC'. They represent a special place in Aston Martin history as they were the last six-cylinder cars with a heritage stemming from the greatest era of the firm's racing history and the last to be fitted with wire wheels. They also marked a return to the traditionally-shaped front that was first introduced in the DB3S in the early fifties, continued throughout the 'DB' series of 4, 5, and 6, and was later adopted for all Aston Martins from the current decade - the DB9, the Vanquish, the V8 Vantage, and the current DBS. The model benefitted from all the many improvements developed and implemented throughout the five years of DBS production, including many mechanical and cosmetic changes. Of most significance and like the last fifty examples of the DBS, the car used the same later 'dog leg' ZF five speed gearbox as used in the DBSV8. It is notable that though the V8-engined model with the same body style was introduced in 1970, demand for the six-cylinder AM Vantage continued through 1973 until the factory no longer offered the alternative. Though the V8-engined cars are very fine in their own right, this affection and appreciation for the six-cylinder cars has had a direct bearing on demand, and they now command a premium in the market up to fifty per cent higher than their V8 counterpart.After Sir David Brown's departure in 1972, DBS production continued under new owners, Company Developments. The car was restyled with a two-headlamp front end but mechanically remained much as before, while for a brief period the six-cylinder engine continued to be offered alongside the new V8. The six-cylinder DBS was renamed 'Vantage', a term used to denote the high-performance engine option. All but two Vantages ('6067' and '6068') had the 'SVC' Vantage high-performance engine. Only 70 of these six-cylinder Vantages were produced between May 1972 and July 1973, making the model one of the rarer of post-war Aston Martins.Presented in the original colour of Ascot Grey and upholstered in the original dark blue that came with the car in 1972, this Vantage was originally registered on the 23rd November and sold to Dovey Motors Company Ltd in Cardiff. This car has been owned by the Forshaw Family since the 1980s having purchased it from the first owner. It had a bare metal respray in 1999 and has covered less than 300 miles in the past 10 years, forming part of the family's treasured collection. In 2012 a new high torque starter motor was fitted, alongside a head gasket and HT leads, then the front suspension was refurbished in 2013 with two new front hubs fitted also at the same time. A full history file, whilst in the Forshaw ownership, can be viewed, including original Aston Martin buff warranty booklet and a copy of the original build sheet. It is mechanically sound and described as running very nicely with no known issues. The interior is original and in good condition and the paintwork is also in good condition. Boasting a working 8 Track play with some available with the car and it comes with a new MoT test certificate valid until June 2023. This is a truly wonderful, original piece of Aston Martin history, in the same ownership for over 40 years.
1970 Austin 1100 Transmission: manualMileage:36774In 1962, a quite revolutionary new saloon was launched by BMC at the same time as the brand new MGB. Initially wearing the Morris badge, ADO16 was hot from the drawing boards of Alec Issigonis and Pininfarina. Offered in many guises by Innocenti, Morris, Riley, Wolseley, Vanden Plas and Austin, the ADO16 was truly universal in its appeal. In line with BMC's policy at the time, Austin badged versions of the ADO16 were built at Longbridge, whilst Morris and MG versions were assembled at Cowley. The original Mk. I models were distinctive for their use of a Hydrolastic suspension. Marketing material highlighted the spacious cabin when compared to competitors such as the Ford Anglia, Vauxhall Viva HA and BMC's own still popular Morris Minor. Unlike almost all of its competitors, the ADO16 featured front-wheel drive instead of the rear-wheel drive. The Mk. I Austin/Morris 1100 was available, initially, only as a four-door saloon. This Austin 1100 is possibly the finest example we have offered. Originally registered in March 1970 and showing only three owners prior to its enthusiast vendor, we are told that this lovely example runs as well as it looks. Upon inspection it fired up on the first time of asking which is not surprising given that the engine bay is as immaculate as the rest of the car. Presented to auction with a V5C registration document, this MoT exempt Austin must be seen to be truly appreciated. Offered without reserve.
1990 Alpine GTA V6 Turbo Le Mans Transmission: manualMileage:33343The Renault Alpine GTA was produced by the Renault owned French manufacturer Alpine between 1986 and 1991. It was the first car launched by Alpine under Renault ownership (though Alpine had been affiliated with Renault for many years with its earlier models using many Renault parts). It effectively updated the design of its predecessor, the Alpine A310, updating that car's silhouette with modern design features like body-integrated bumpers and a triangular 'C' pillar and with large rear windshield. It used the PRV V6 engine in a rear-engined layout with extensive use of polyester plastics and fibreglass for the body panels making it considerably lighter and quicker than rivals such as the Porsche 944. It was one of the most aerodynamic cars of its time, the normally-aspirated version achieving a world record 0.28 drag co-efficient. The PRV engine, (The PRV engine is a car petrol V6 engine that was developed jointly by Peugeot, Renault and Volvo Cars), in the normally aspirated model was identical to the version used in the Renault 25, a 2,849cc unit producing 160hp. Also available was the turbocharged model which increased the power of the PRV unit to 200hp.A rare sight on British roads, this is one of only 26 UK-market Alpine GTA V6 Le Mans produced, all of the Le Mans made for the UK were burgundy metallic as indeed this one is, with grey velour interior. The rare sports car has been in the same family ownership from new and needs complete recommissioning. It still retains its original built-in mobile phone (not currently working), original spare wheel, original built-in sound system, electric windows and its manual gearbox is mated to the infamous V6 Turbo. As a one owner car from new, this example is really in 'time warp' condition and once recommissioned, we are certain it will still be able to bring a smile to your face when driving it in the way it was supposed to when first built. A rarity which one would not often find! *Please be aware that this car is not suitable to be driven away from the Auction and should be re commissioned prior to driving.
2001 Porsche 911 / 996 Turbo Transmission: automaticMileage:49653The 996 model is a superb car; quick, reliable, well made and the birth of the water-cooled Porsche 911. With a wide range of models on offer the most iconic is, of course, the Turbo. Featuring four-wheel drive and a 3.6 litre intercooled engine, derived from the 1998 Le Mans winning GT-1 car, pushing out 420bhp and hitting 60mph in a whisker over four seconds, this is genuine supercar territory. The 996 was seen as a more relaxed and usable 911; however, in Turbo guise, the driver would get the best of both worlds; a luxury leather interior with every creature comfort combined with the ability to drop the hammer and reach a top speed of a claimed 190mph. The 996 Turbo was available with either a six-speed manual or a five-speed Tiptronic transmission with revised styling and a wider stance than the naturally aspirated 996 Carreras along with new bi-xenon headlamps. The Turbo also came with Vario Cam Plus as well as stability management - a necessity with over 400bhp under your right foot. Performance can be described as ballistic when behind the wheel of a turbo-charged Porsche. However, due to the modern 911 being such a capable daily driver, mileage on early cars can swiftly reach into six figures, resulting in lower mileage models becoming quite the find for any collector or enthusiast. With just a little over 49,653 miles, our example is presented in metallic Lapis Blue with grey leather trim and has clearly had a pampered life. The car was first registered on 3rd August 2001 and was particularly well specified including rear leather centre console, aluminium painted instrument dials, lumbar support on driver and passenger seats and soft ruffled leather seats. This car has been well maintained and regularly serviced. It has been only lightly used by our vendor on a weekly basis and on dry weekends, kept in 'tip top' running order with the last service in March 2022 at 49,196 miles. In addition to this the car was recently ceramic coated at a cost of £1000 just a few months ago. A three owner car with an MoT test certificate until March 2023 found within the comprehensive history file. This is a superb example of an ever appreciating 911 in such fabulous condition that viewing is highly recommended.
1969 Alfa Romeo GT Junior 'Alfaholics Stepnose' (Two litre) Transmission: manualMileage:13763Mention Alfa Romeos from the 1960s and 1970s and what usually springs to mind is the marque's 105 Series Coupé, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Bertone, considered to be one of his greatest designs. Not only as one of the best looking and handling classic saloon cars of the period, but the advanced specification, with its five-speed gearbox, all-round disc brakes, independent suspension, and powerful twin-cam engine, still has the capability to embarrass many of its modern counterparts. A rare right hand drive, this 1300 Alfa Romeo was first registered in 1969 in South Africa and remained in the warm dry climate until the current owner imported the car in 2021. This 2 litre Nord engine has now been upgraded to Alfaholics stage 1 with a verified dyno at 141 BHP, the work was carried out by race specialist Bradbury Engineering to the following specifications: High compression pistons, Alfaholics carburettor mounds with uprated air intake filters, a rebuilt head to fast road spec, Alfaholics springs and suspension, a rebuilt cylinder head and rebuilt ignition system. Supplied with bills from Alfaholics and the engineering work from Bradbury Engineering totalling over £10,000. This example benefits from a limited slip differential, VAN de Linde four branch exhaust, BMW four pot brake calipers, a rebuilt steering box and 15-inch Alfaholics GTA veloce wheels coupled to an Alfaholics retro stereo. We are informed the body is in excellent condition and the interior, which was retrimmed by the previous owner, is in very good condition. With Alfaholics cars worth an incredible figure, this very rare example looks like incredible value.
