2003 Porsche 911 996 Turbo Transmission: automaticMileage:42424The 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 190 mph. 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 42,000 miles, our example is presented in metallic Basalt Black with black leather trim and has clearly had a pampered life. The car was first registered on 31st March 2003 and was particularly well specified as per the certificate of authenticity.Running the correct Porsche rated Michelin Pilot Sport tyres this car has been well maintained and regularly serviced. Accompanying the car is a complete history from new, documenting the low mileage and the vendors family ownership for the last 15 years, an MoT test certificate until August 2022 all  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.

1998 TVR Chimaera 500 Transmission: manualMileage:33430TVR was an independent British manufacturer of sports cars and until 2006 was based in the seaside town of Blackpool. The company manufactured lightweight sports cars with powerful engines and was, at one stage, the third largest specialised sports car manufacturer in the world offering a diverse range of coupés and convertibles. TVR's are composed of tubular steel frames, cloaked in fibreglass bodywork. The two arms of the company were TVR Engineering, which manufactured sports cars, and TVR Power, their powertrain division. The company has regrettably had a turbulent recent history and has not made any new cars since 2006. In July 2012, owner Nikolay Smolensky announced that despite analysing various potential plans to create a new car, building a new TVR model was not going to be financially viable, despite promising to do so when buying the company, and thus TVR's existence as a car manufacturer was ended. The Chimaera was intended to be the long-distance tourer of the range and as such was longer, more spacious and had slightly softer suspension than its sister car.This lovely, low mileage, only 33,400 miles from new, five litre TVR Chimaera with air conditioning has been very well looked after by all its owners. The first owner was TVR who used it as a demonstration car. In 2009 the body was removed and the outriggers on the chassis replaced. Finished in Halcyon Atlantis with Pibrock Spinnaker full leather interior, grey carpet and the lovely grey effect wooden dashboard with matching steering wheel. This TVR Chimaera is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in March 2023 and a file containing invoices and old MoT test certificates. There aren't many cars that offer the amount of fun the Chimaera does, and this example with the five-litre engine, is no exception. 

1994 Porsche 968 Club Sport Transmission: manualMileage:26900The 968 came directly from the 944 but towards the end of its development, Porsche needed a more modern motorcar with which to present the advances that were coming from the factory at that time. From 1993 through to 1995, Porsche offered a lighter-weight 'Club Sport' version of the 968 designed for enthusiasts seeking increased track performance. Much of the 968's luxury-oriented equipment was removed or taken off the options list; less sound deadening material was used, electrical windows were replaced with crank-driven units, upgraded stereo systems, air conditioning and sunroof were still optional as on the standard coupé and convertible models. Porsche could focus media attention on the Club Sport variants fast road and track abilities. The Club Sport variant achieved a 'Performance Car of the Year' award in 1993 from Performance Car magazine in the UK.This is the car all 968 drivers dream of! This Porsche 968 Club Sport is one of Just 179 UK examples supplied new at Porsche Centre, Mann Island in Liverpool and was first registered on the 29th March 1994. It is presented in Guards Red with black cloth bucket seats and has a tinted sunroof. However, this is not just your normal 968! The previous owner set about upgrading it to create the ultimate Club Sport which he felt Porsche had failed to do! So he had fitted by marque specialist Ninemeister of Warrington, who are independent Porsche tuners, a US sourced ProCharger P1-1SC Supercharger which gives this fabulous sports car 350bhp and also upgraded the discs with Porsche 993 Turbo discs and calipers. A new limited slip differential was fitted and Leda adjustable suspension, making the car very fast and agile. The result is that this car is just as at home on a circuit as it is on the road! However, to increase the scope for circuit tweak ability, it was fitted with a nylon-bushed lightweight Pro Series anti-roll bar kit from Weltmeister in the US. The car comes with a comprehensive service history from new with its original service book, wallet and even has its original Vehicle Identification sticker in one of the books. This really is a 'Wolf in Sheep's Clothing!!'

1971 Ford Escort Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:3470The Mk. I Ford Escort was introduced in the UK at the end of 1967, making its show debut at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1968 and replacing the successful long running Ford Anglia. The Escort was a commercial success in several parts of western Europe but nowhere more than in the UK where the national best seller of the 1960s, BMC's Austin/Morris 1100 was beginning to show its age while Ford's own Cortina had grown, both in dimensions and in price, beyond the market niche at which it had originally been pitched. In June 1974, six years into the car's UK introduction, Ford announced the completion of the two millionth Ford Escort, a milestone hitherto unmatched by any Ford model outside the US. It was also stated that 60% of the two million Escorts had been built in Britain.This late Escort Mk. I presents extremely well in pale blue with a contrasting blue interior. The vendor believes that at some point this Escort has had a bodyshell replacement. If so, the work appears to have been done to a high standard with the paintwork and chromework in good order. We are also informed that this six-dial dashboard example drives well. The V5C registration document for this late model Mk. I shows the correct chassis number for the car but indicates that the car is a Mexico model. Any potential buyer is advised to investigate this further. This MoT exempt Escort is the perfect opportunity for a drive down memory lane.

2006 Range Rover 4.2 litre Supercharged Vogue SE Transmission: manualMileage:96167The now ubiquitous Range Rover, launched in 1970, is in its fourth generation. The third-generation Range Rover (L322) was designed to accommodate BMW's M62, V8 engine; the manual transmission was dropped entirely leaving only the automatic transmission. The entertainment system, radio function, navigation, television and telecommunications, as well as the automotive computer bus system, was identical to the BMW 5-Series and could also be upgraded with the newest BMW technologies.This highly desirable example is presented in metallic grey with black leather interior and comes with an electric sunroof, electric heated memory front seats, cruise control, satellite navigation system, rear entertainment system (TV screens in rear of front headrests), heated rear seats and detachable tow bar (unused). This popular SUV comes with part service history with a stamped book and some recent invoices. It is powered by the powerful 4.2 litre Supercharged V8 which gives it superb performance and is, importantly, ULEZ exempt!

1971 Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:83002By the mid-1960s, the Jaguar E-Type was appealing to the man with a young family but who were restricted by the size of the current Jaguar E-Type Coupé and its open topped sibling. This prompted Jaguar to offer a third option in the form of a 2+2 Coupé. By adding nine inches to the wheelbase and two inches in height, it was then possible to fit a rear seat capable of seating two adults in tolerable comfort. Of course the rear seat was more suited to children or, as 'The Motor' put it at the time, the car could 'extend Dad's youth for another seven years'. Robert Bell in Motor was quoted as saying at the time that all we expected to try was a new engine but what in fact we drove was a new car. Not a yowling, aggressive Ferrari-like machine with which, perhaps, most people associate a V12 engine but a very smooth, quiet and refined grand touring sports car.This superb V12 Coupé is an original right hand drive matching numbers example presented in Signal Red with black leather interior. Its 5.3 litre engine is mated to a manual gearbox and its general condition throughout can be considered to be extremely good. Its Heritage certificate shows that it was originally despatched to the Automobile Centre in Leeds on 7th September 1971, painted white and registered AD 69. The car underwent a comprehensive restoration in the 1980s, at which point its colour changed to red and a new bonnet was fitted. This wonderful E-type was also re-sprayed in the mid-2000s to bring the bodywork up to standard and much of the chrome was also replaced, including new headlight crowns, front grille and stainless steel bumpers. The car is fitted with power steering and is a joy to drive. It comes with a substantial history file including its Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate and is ready to be enjoyed.

1973 Aston Martin Vantage Transmission: manualMileage:96842The arrival of the DBS signified a real revolution at Aston Martin in the late 1960s. British stylist William Towns, a then junior Aston Martin interior designer, penned a thoroughly modern GT design that has been celebrated ever since as one of the most elegant yet muscular shapes to emerge from the golden age of Sports GT motoring. The single-headlamp version of William Towns design was launched in 1972 and named 'Vantage' and retained the well proven, six-cylinder 3995cc Tadek Marek engine. With only 70 examples built, it is now one of the rarest post-war Aston Martin models and the purest of the 'single-headlamp' Towns design that was to pilot Aston Martin through to the end of the 1980s.This truly stunning example of the rare Aston Martin Vantage is presented in its original colour blue coachwork with contrasting blood red leather trim, all in lovely order. First registered on the 27th April 1973, this matching numbers example boasts the rare and desirable five-speed manual gearbox. Owned in the extended family since 1997, this car has had significant investment in a full nut and bolt restoration. The engine block initially benefited from Aston Martin works treatment before the rest of the car was completely deconstructed and then painstakingly restored and reassembled to create a truly wonderful and collectable example that would have cost far in excess of our estimates to complete. Part of a small family collection, our owner professes to not have the time to use the car enough, although he has always kept it in impeccable order. Having only covered four thousand miles since restoration, it would now be deserving of a new home at a fraction of the restoration costs.When you consider the scarcity of the early Vantage's, the excellent condition of this car, the specialist engineering work invested and the even rarer (and highly desirable) specification of this particular car, then this certainly is a collector's item of some stature and deserving of close

1972 Triumph TR6 Transmission: manualMileage:82000The Triumph TR6 was manufactured for seven years from 1969 and by the time production came to an end in July 1976, it was the best-seller of the TR range. The bodywork closely resembled that of the previous model, the Triumph TR5, but the front and rear were squared off and all TR6s featured inline six-cylinder engines. For the US market, the engine was fitted with carburettors whilst, for other world markets including the UK, the TR6 was fitted with fuel injection. It featured a four-speed manual gearbox, independent rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, 15 wheels and tyres, pile carpet on the floors and boot, bucket seats and a full complement of instruments. In total 94,619 TR6s were built of which 86,249 were sold overseas and only 8,370 were sold in the UK.First registered on 23rd June 1972, this desirable 'CP' 150 brake horsepower car was a UK home market supplied vehicle, which included the overdrive gearbox option from new. The car was purchased in the early 90's by a Mr Wallin in Berkshire who, in 1994, began what developed into a comprehensive restoration spanning six years and resulted in a stunning outcome. The burr walnut dash is as new, likewise the double duck hood which complements the lovely blue coachwork and black trim. When Mr Brown in Bracknell purchased the car in 2005 the expenditure didn't stop there. Being described as somewhat of a perfectionist he had Rees Bros. inspect the car prior to purchase. In 2013 Mr Brown had the engine reconditioned by Rees Bros. who also provided an evaluation on the car stating it was 'an excellent example of this desirable sports car that has been looked after very well. It is in first class order throughout'. Having covered only minimal mileage since, the car presents just as it would have in 2013, one of the best we have offered, purchased last year by an international collector the car has been dry stored and will be lightly re-commissioned with new oil and filters coupled to a new UK MoT for the sale. Supplied with its UK V5C registration document, previous MoT test certificates and many receipts. This example, offered in its ultimate high-powered specification, is not to be confused with the average TR6. Its condition is fantastic and it presents extremely well in a desirable colour combination.

1963 Ford Consul Capri Transmission: manualMileage:6624The Ford Consul Capri was launched in 1961 and was the first European market Ford to bear the Capri name. The Ford Consul Capri is a two-door coupé version of the Consul Classic and was available from 1961 until 1964. In February 1963, the GT version was announced.The sleek lines of this rare Consul Capri perfectly showcase its dark green paintwork. Complemented by a two-tone interior this Ford has a design that still looks fresh today but must have been way ahead of its time for 1963. We are informed that these stunning looks are matched by the cars fun factor when driven. This Consul Capri is now fitted with a 2.0 litre Pinto engine and a five-speed gearbox, offering brisk performance with retro aesthetics, which are further enhanced by Mini-Lite style wheels. Offered to auction with a V5C registration certificate this Capri is sensibly estimated given the huge popularity that all Ford models have enjoyed in recent years.

2004 Ferrari 575M Fiorano Handling pack Transmission: manualMileage:21000The Ferrari 575M Maranello is a two-seat, two-door, grand tourer which was launched in 2002, it is essentially an updated 550 Maranello featuring minor styling changes from Pininfarina. The 575M was replaced by the 599 GTB in the first half of 2006. Updates from the 550 included a renewed interior, but with substantial improvements mechanically, including bigger brake discs, a larger and more powerful engine, improved weight distribution, refined aerodynamics and fluid dynamics along with an adaptive suspension set-up (the four independent suspensions are also controlled by the gearbox, to minimize pitch throughout the 200 milliseconds shift time). Two six-speed transmissions were available; a conventional manual gearbox and, for the first time on a Ferrari V12, Magneti Marelli's semi-automatic (Electrohydraulic manual) 'F1' gearbox. The 575 model number refers to total engine displacement in litres, whilst the 'M' is an abbreviation of modificato ('modified').This Ferrari 575 with the optional F1 gearbox is in stunning condition offered in Rosso Corsa Red with contrasting biscuit hide. Originally supplied to Malaysia this example has been bought to the UK with just one previous owner and upon arrival was inspected to be in the highest order. £14,000 was spent on the car with HR Owen Ferrari, which included full annual service, new cam and auxiliary belts, new cam cover gaskets, coils and spark plugs, injector seals and a banjo bolt, this was combined with all new fluids. We are informed underneath the car is completely corrosion free, much thanks to the Malaysian climate and incredibly low mileage. Benefitting from a Capristo exhaust system which compliments the 575 fantastically this extremely low mileage example is also offered, importantly, with the desirable Fiorano Handling Pack. The car is described by the vendor as being in fabulous condition bodily, mechanically and electrically, it has the original toolkit and has recently been treated to new front and rear brake discs and new Pirelli tyres all round - ready to enjoy! This is a very well-priced, striking example of Ferrari's highly accomplished 575M F1 with Fiorano Handling Pack in excellent condition.

2003 Mini Cooper S (JCW) Transmission: manualMileage:39448Introduced in 2001, the hatchback Mini was the first model of the new generation Mini and back then was simply known as Mini. It was available in Cooper, Cooper S and One variations. In many European markets, the Mini One was powered by a 1.4 litre version but all other petrol-powered Minis used the 1.6 litre version. The names Cooper and Cooper S, used for the sportier version of the classic Mini, came from the involvement of John Cooper and the Cooper Car Company. This delightful Mini was originally registered on 14th January 2003 and has had just one former keeper. She presents exceptionally well in grey with black leather trim. Standard equipment on this Mini includes electric windows and air conditioning. However, she was also fitted with a John Cooper Works Tuning Kit in March 2003 which is confirmed by the Certificate of Authenticity. These cars are great fun to drive and well looked after, low mileage Mini's such as this are always sought after. The condition is certainly commensurate with such a low mileage example. Supplied with a V5C registration document, a current MoT test certificate and a history file.

1968 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda Transmission: manualMileage:84343The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production until February 1971. An all new design by Paul Bracq to replace the 190 SL and 300 SL Roaster. The 280 SL had a powerful 2.8 litre version of Mercedes inline-six and used Bosch fuel injection. To save on weight the bonnet, boot lid and tonneau cover were all composed of aluminium. The nickname 'Pagoda' was quickly adopted thanks to the slightly concave roof on the optional removable hardtop that resembled a pagoda roof. The comparatively short and wide chassis, combined with an excellent suspension, powerful disc brakes and radial tyres gave the W113 superb handling for its time. These roadsters also have one of the most beautiful bodies produced in the 1960s. Thanks to their robust inline-six and their luxurious Mercedes interior, they are wonderful cars to be driven and enjoyed. The styling of the front paid homage to the legendary 300 SL with its characteristic upright Bosch 'fishbowl' headlights and simple chrome grille, dominated by the large three-pointed star in the nose panel.This stunning black with contrasting beige trim example of the larger engine SL Pagoda was purchased and imported from Germany in 2015 arriving with a waft of paperwork dating back to 1993 predominantly from Keenan Mercedes-Benz dealership. Upon arrival our vendor sent the car directly to leading classic Mercedes-Benz specialists Roger Edwards who immediately performed an MoT and fitted seatbelts, and then annually since has performed any necessary maintenance and renovations including new woodwork. More recently a new hood has been fitted. A stunning left hand drive manual example in rare black coachwork this would be an ideal car to tour Europe or leave at your abode in the south of France. 

2004 Triumph Tiger 955i Transmission: manualMileage:600The Tiger 955i (T709EN) is a dual-sport motorcycle produced by Triumph between 2001 and 2006. It was the successor of the visually similar 885cc Tiger T709 which was also fuel injected but with a different engine, 885 instead of 955. The Triumph Tiger range of motorcycles was notable for its use of plastic as a material for its fuel tank.This one owner motorcycle with exceptionally low mileage is outstanding. A full specification example of the Triumph Tiger 955i supplied new in December 2004 from Jack Lilly with matching body coloured full panier set. This motorcycle was owned a the Chief Engineer in the Merchant Navy, purchased as tribute to deceased friend and only used when home from duty at weekends and in sunny weather. Always garaged and not used since current owner passed on in 2016 it has now been fully overhauled and serviced by Chris Jagger, an independent Triumph specialist, in January 2021 at cost of £800. Recently MoT'd again by Chris Jagger in January and thus valid until 2023. The mechanic Chris Jagger commented 'it rides and feels like brand new bike...'. A bike only just run in, with such low mileage, in 'as new' order which is offered without reserve.Guide price £4,000 - £6,000

1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E Transmission: manualMileage:80486With £600 million spent on research and development, it is clear to see why the Mercedes 190E was the instant success story that it was, capturing an unprecedented share of the compact executive saloon market in the late 1980s. Boasting a spectrum of new safety features including ABS and safety-belt pretensioners, front and rear anti-roll bars, five-link suspension and anti-squat and anti-dive geometry, the cars quickly became renowned for comfort and capability.This example of the incredibly popular 190 is offered in blue coachwork and has covered a mere 80,468 miles which for a 190E is barely run-in! Originally registered on the 3rd September 1990 this example still retaining its book pack, boasts a comprehensive service history all found in the service booklet. The first seven services are with supplying dealer Portfield Mercedes-Benz, then further main dealer and specialist or local garages show a total of 12 stamps, the last in February 2022. A lovely well-kept example this is also offered with original sales brochures, Haynes Manual and an MoT test certificate until March 2023 with no advisories. A great car in good condition and a good history file from an era when Mercedes-Benz's were built to last. Guide Price £4,000 - £6,000

1933 Riley Nine Monaco Transmission: manualMileage:69458The Riley Nine was one of the most successful light cars produced by the British motor industry in the inter-war period between 1926 and 1938. It was largely designed by two of the Riley brothers, Percy and Stanley. Stanley was responsible for the chassis, suspension and body and the older Percy, designed the engine. At launch in July 1926, two body styles were available, a fabric bodied saloon called the Monaco and a fabric four-seat tourer which had the option of a steel panelling rather than fabric. After the car's 1926 launch, it was such a critically acclaimed success that after less than a thousand cars had been produced, the works quickly stopped side-valve production and tooled up for the new Nine in early 1928. This switch to the main factory coincided with several modernisations of the Mk. I - the cone clutch was dropped, the gear lever and handbrake were moved from the right to the centre of the car and a Riley steering box was adopted becoming the Mk. II. The Mk. III evolved using stronger wheels and a different arrangement of rods to the rear brakes.Restored in 1977 this Riley Nine Monaco was purchased by our vendor and recommissioned in 2015. Unfortunately the owner, a vintage car enthusiast, fell ill and this example spent most of the last eight years garaged. Recently however, recommissioned and running this car represents fabulous vintage motoring, still requiring some light recommissioning due to lack of use. The history file which dates back to its original restoration in the 70s includes an original instruction book, some old MoT test certificates as far back as 1965 and photos, no V5 is offered with this lot therefore the new owner will need to apply for this with the DVLA. The higher specification Monaco still turns heads and this special series will undoubtedly have many years of vintage motoring in store for a lucky owner.Guide Price £10,000 - £15,000Interested parties should note that no V5 is offered with this Lot therefore the new owner will need to apply for this with the DVLA.

2011 Mclaren MP4 C12 Transmission: manualMileage:11084The MP4-12C is McLaren's first production car since the legendary McLaren F1. Designed by Frank Stephenson, who also styled the Ferrari F430, the MP4-12C was launched in 2011 and was built using a great deal of technology from McLaren's Formula One program. The 3.8 litre, bi-turbo, V8 is breathtaking, delivering 592bhp at 7,000rpm and 600Nm of torque. Combine that with a kerb weight of only 1,301kg (the comparable Ferrari 458 Italia weighs 1,380kg) and performance is simply sensational. A Formula One style carbon tub, known as a 'Carbon Mono Cell', forms the basis of the car's chassis and weighs just 80kg. In addition, the engine is mated to a seven-speed automatic dual-clutch gearbox allowing for seamless gear changes. Even the name 'MP4-12C' is a homage to McLaren's Formula One history, as every chassis since 1981 has been labelled MP4.The MP4-12C can sprint from 0-62mph in 3.1 seconds, however where the McLaren blows its rivals away is in acceleration to 125mph, only the Bugatti Veyron is faster at just 8.9 seconds, compared to the 458 taking 10.4 seconds, and it even beat Ferrari's best Enzo.The beautifully engineered cantilever wing doors look fantastic but it's the McLaren ProActive Chassis Control (MPCC) that steals the show, a revolutionary set-up that puts the McLaren ahead of its rivals. On the left of the narrow centre console is a dial marked 'H' (for handling), which allows you to switch the suspension, steering and electronic stability control between Normal, Sport and Track modes. A similar dial on the right wears a 'P' (for powertrain) and it has the same modes to tweak the response of the gearshifts, engine and manage the sound of the power plant in the cabin. Thanks to the large brakes and the spectacular rear air brake flap, stopping power is superb. In addition to MPCC, the MP4-12C gets McLaren's rear-wheel Brake Steer system, which brakes the inside wheel, if necessary, to keep you on course. On the exit of tight bends, Brake Steer then also jumps in to minimise time-wasting wheel spin and correctional control inputs. Unbelievably for a car of this nature, the MP4-12C's fuel efficiency and emissions are also unbeatable in this class, emitting less CO2 per horsepower than a Toyota Prius hybrid! The MP4-12C is a remarkable product from a remarkable company. It distils the values of the McLaren brand - technological expertise, efficiency and sheer speed - into a stunningly useable package.This fabulous example, which comes with a full service history, is presented in gleaming Volcano Red with Carbon Black Alcantara interior which looks superb with its contrast stitch being Harissa Red. The original owner specified to the factory to have a carbon fibre interior upgrade and carbon fibre engine bay panels. It sits on lightweight forged wheels with the 'Stealth' finish, comes with parking sensors front and rear, sports exhaust, satellite navigation and Meridian surround sound system. It also has electric and heated memory seats, two sets of keys, branded floor mat set and a vehicle tracking system.Interested parties should note that the vendor has the new passenger window which will be delivered to the new owner but the fitting of which will be down to the buyer. It can be fitted by most garages or Autoglass we understand.

1933 Morris 10/4 Saloon Transmission: manualMileage:7206Introduced in the latter half of 1932, the Morris 10 stole a march on many of its rivals by virtue of its superior Lockheed hydraulic brakes, most small family cars of the period continuing to rely on mechanical systems. The four-cylinder sidevalve engine drove via a three-speed gearbox and in most other respects, the 10 was entirely conventional. This example benefits from a four speed gearbox with synchromesh. This model was also extremely successful, helping Morris establish a commanding presence in the increasingly important 10hp market sector. The 10 provided a generous amount of accommodation for this class of car (it was identical to the Twelve in all respects save for the latter's larger engine) with ample legroom in the rear compartment. This stunning Morris is offered for sale for the first time in over 46 years. The car was purchased in 1976 and was garaged for a few years before the restoration process began. The decision was taken at the outset that the restoration would not be limited by either time or expense and that everything would be done correctly and to an exacting standard. This mantra is obvious in the car we see today. The phrase 'everything works' is unusual when describing a car that is nearly 90 years old but certainly applies to this 10/4. The doors close with a reassuring thud, the sunroof works, as does the rear blind. The green and black paintwork and the green leather upholstery are in the same fantastic condition as the rest of this wonderful car. The front grille mounted temperature gauge is, as to be expected from such a well restored car, spot on. The Morris 10/4 was extremely advanced for its year and this model includes hydraulic brakes and an electric fuel pump, a feature that wasn't standard on Rolls-Royce cars for another three years. Offered to auction with the original key, handbooks, various bills and receipts, a V5C registration document, old tax discs and photographs of the restoration process. The original buff logbook is present, together with various owners' manuals. Following this lifetime restoration process, JG 3902 has travelled just over 7,000 miles which have been described by the vendor as both trouble free and tremendous fun. Sensibly estimated for what is one of the finest cars we have ever seen, this Morris would grace any collection.

1998 Evante Convertible Series I Transmission: manualMileage:33644Renowned worldwide for its successful racing engines, the Spalding-based firm of Vegantune diversified into car making in the early 1980s with the Lotus Elan-inspired Evante, a separate company - Evante Cars Ltd - being set up to handle its manufacture. Although Elan-like in appearance, the glassfibre-bodied Evante employed a stronger, tubular-steel spaceframe chassis rather than the Lotus's backbone type and was powered by Vegantune's own Ford-based VTA twin-cam engine. Producing 170bhp and 140lb/ft of torque from its 1.7 litres, this engine, with its belt-driven camshafts and accessible water pump, was reckoned much easier to maintain than the Lotus version. Only produced to individual customer order, the Evante failed to weather the late 1980s recession. After only a limited number had been made, the operation was sold to a consortium of Spalding businessmen, who continued production of the Evante 140TC. In the autumn of 1992, Evante was sold to another specialist vehicle manufacturer - Newark-based Fleur De Lys Automobile Manufacturing Limited - which re-engineered the chassis to accept the 1.8 litre Ford Zetec 16 valve engine.This rare example of this British sports car is presented in Metallic Blue with blue leather interior, with an attractive Walnut dashboard. It was sent back to Vegantune main agent at 20,000 miles and was fully upgraded to Series II Sprint specification. This included new upgraded bearings and pistons, reworked big valve head and camshafts, twin 45mm twin choke carburettors, new stainless steel exhaust and upgraded Spax adjustable coil over shock absorbers. The car also benefits from a new hood and comes with its tonneau covers which are in good condition. There are two history folders accompanying the car with specification sheets, old MoTs and receipts for work carried out. The current vendor has fastidiously maintained this great little sportscar and she now has brand new carpets, an engine that runs very well and brakes that work efficiently. Powered by the lively and great sounding 1700cc Twin Cam engine which provides exciting performance with great handling to match. Marketed originally as the 'Lotus eater' it is easy to see why.

1974 Triumph GT6 Mk. III Transmission: manualMileage:105400A fastback Spitfire powered by the 2000 saloon's two litre, six-cylinder engine, the GT6 arrived in October 1966 with production running until 1973. Like the Spitfire, it inherited what was essentially the Triumph Herald's chassis and running gear which had already proved capable of handling six-cylinder power when developed for the Vitesse saloon. A comfortable ride was considered vital for the all-important North American market so the GT6 inherited the Herald/Spitfire's softly sprung rear swing axle, although the latter arrangement would be superseded by lower wishbones on the GT6 Mk. II. At the same time the engine received a power boost courtesy of the TR5 cylinder head and 'hotter' camshaft, maximum output increasing from 95 to 104bhp. The restyled, last-of-the-line, Mk. III adopted the contemporary Spitfire's simpler 'swing-spring' rear suspension. Brisk performance (100mph+) and stylish, the GT6 well deserved its 'mini E-Type' sobriquet and today, is one of the most sought after post-war Triumph sports cars with only 13,042 Mk. III examples manufactured.Acquired by the current vendor in 2018, this GT6 has undergone an extensive bodyshell restoration completed in September 2021 and is now in excellent condition. The doors, bonnet and boot lid gaps are very good, with new windscreen and rear window rubbers. The front suspension has been stripped, powder coated and re-bushed and the tan interior is in good condition, having been restored by the previous owner. The seats have no rips, tears or holes and a new headlining has been fitted. The GT6 sits proudly on a set of very rare 5J x 13 steel wheels which were professionally restored, and powder coated and are shod with new tyres. The engine and gearbox were also extensively rebuilt by the previous vendor in 2017/18. The history file contains various photos and receipts from the extensive restoration, previous MoT records, and the current UK registration document. The registration number which is included in the sale is the original number allocated to the car in 1974. This is a wonderful example and one of the nicest we have seen.

1973 Triumph TR6 Transmission: manualMileage:10021The 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 lovely example of the TR6 is offered in British Racing Green with beige trim. The paintwork gleams and the black hood is in good order. Our vendor states that this TR6 has been reliable and provided many a joyous weekend drive. More recently this Triumph has been so well thought of by its owner that he parked it in his sitting room. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document this MoT exempt sports car is a genuine, privately owned, honest and useable classic. This TR6 represents fabulous value-for-money motoring and would make an ideal addition to any collection or a perfect starting place for any classic car enthusiast.

1961 Volvo PV544 Transmission: manualMileage:39687Originally launched in 1958, the two-door Volvo PV544 was a development of the PV444 that had been unveiled 14 years prior. The changes Volvo made were extensive and included a larger, one-piece convex windscreen, a padded dashboard for better passenger safety, and a more comfortable, bigger rear seat that could now seat three people. The mechanical changes were just as comprehensive and included a choice of two engines (1583cc and 1778cc), a four-speed manual gearbox, and in 1961, the sporty P1800's B18 engine and 12-volt electrics. In total, 243,990 units were manufactured during its seven-year lifetime. The PV544 was much more than a safe, strong family car though because the same attributes also made it an effective rally car. It was indeed one of the most successful rally cars of its generation, earning podium places throughout the 1950s and 60s.This fabulous Volvo has benefitted from having much work carried out by the fastidious and knowledgeable vendor. During 2014 through to 2018 the car was restored, with new front wings fitted along with several other new panels. The car was repainted in Slate Blue and a new windscreen was fitted with new rubbers. A 1990cc B20 engine was located and fitted along with a four-speed gearbox, she was also converted to 12volt electrics at the same time. A full brake overhaul has also been carried out. Starting on the button and sounding delightful, we are advised this Volvo drives as good as she looks. Supplied with a V5C registration document together with a current MoT test certificate and a collection of invoices and new parts. These Volvo's are rarely seen on the road today, a delightful example such as this is more than capable of keeping up with modern day traffic. Inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality of this PV544.

1961 Jaguar Mk. II (3.8 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:43877The Mk. II Jaguar, introduced in 1959, was a fast and capable saloon. It came with a 2.4, 3.4 or 3.8 litre XK engine. The 3.8 is similar to that used in the Series 1 E-Type but with one less SU carburettor. The 3.4 litre and 3.8 litre cars were fitted with twin SU HD6 carburettors and the 2.4 litre with twin Solex carburettors. Compared to the Mk. I, the appearance of the car was transformed by an increase of 18% in cabin glass area. The car was re-engineered above the waistline, slender front pillars allowed a wider windscreen and the rear window almost wrapped around to the enlarged side windows. The radiator grille was amended, and larger side, tail and fog lamps repositioned. Inside a new heating system was fitted with ducted air to the rear compartment. There was an improved instrument layout that became standard for all Jaguar cars until the XJ series II. From its introduction the Jaguar Mk. II developed a strong following in many walks of life. With wonderful styling, a race-bred engine, four-wheel disc brakes and the ability to carry five passengers at great speed, the car proved to be a great success. This lovely 1961 Jaguar Mk. II is thought to have been first exported to South Africa and then brought back to the UK in 1989. Recently the subject of some renovation including being resprayed in Old English White to complement the red interior. The car is fitted with a power steering system by Vicarage, a new braking system with Cooper Craft lightweight calipers and new slightly lowered suspension with new shock absorbers. The engine was reconditioned by marque specialists VSE who also fitted a new clutch, starter motor, cooling radiator and an extra fan. An alternator and a stainless-steel exhaust system has also been fitted together with a new heated rear window and an uprated windscreen wiper system. This Jaguar Mk. II is supplied with a V5 registration document, a file containing old MoT test certificates and the handbook pack with the stamped service book. This car looks lovely and with its gleaming chrome spoked wheels and recent respray, a true British icon.

1971 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce Transmission: manualMileage:9885The first of Alfa Romeo's Bertone styled coupés, the 1.6 litre Giulia Sprint GT, was launched in 1963. Mechanically the stylish new 2+2 was much the same as the Giulia TI sports saloon, featuring a five-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension, coil-spring live rear axle and disc brakes all round. A 1300 model, the GT Junior, arrived in 1966 and the range was further extended the following year by the launch of the 1750 GTV, the latter powered by a 1799cc, 118bhp version of Alfa's classic twin-cam, four-cylinder engine, in a four-headlight version of the existing bodyshell running on 14-inch wheels. A short-lived but nevertheless popular model, the 1750 GTV underwent a minor mechanical and styling revision part way through production before being replaced by the 2000 version in 1972. More powerful than the 1600 but sweeter running than the 2000, the 1750 is the choice of the Alfa Romeo enthusiast who knows their GTVs. Driver's cars par excellence in the Alfa tradition, Bertone's timelessly elegant Giulia coupés are among the most exciting sports saloons of the 1960s and today all versions are highly sought after.Delivered new to South Africa, this desirable and sought after right hand drive GTV made its way to the UK in 2003. Built in September 1971, the car appears to have been used regularly until its export to the UK with the included South African tax disc showing it was valid until the end of May 2002. Since arriving in the UK, the car has had four owners including the vendor, with the supplied MoT test certificates showing it was on the road for the majority of that time. The car was put into storage in 2017 with the plan being to fully restore the car to a concours level. At the time the owner covered the car's red paint in a special grey, (and easily removable), plastic paint to protect the car from rust. This lovely little Alfa is reported to be in good mechanical condition, running and driving well before it was put into storage. The restoration never happened though and was subsequently taken on by the vendor who saw the car as a great base for a restoration. However, a change of plans means that he is no longer going to see the project through and so has decided to move the car on.Supplied with V5C registration document, service history file, past MoT test certificates and import documentation. Appearing to be very solid and complete car, this wonderful little Alfa would certainly make for a great project whether it just be recommissioned, or subject to a full restoration.

2016 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (3.6 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:21168The Jeep Wrangler is the fourth generation of the off-road vehicle available in two-door and four-door bodies. The Rubicon trim level features the most capable off-road equipment. Rubicon models get the Rock-Trac system with an enhanced NV241 OR transfer case as standard, as well as a front sway-bar disconnect system and hydraulic rebound stop. The Rubicon will also feature an electronic locking differential, which allows the driver to lock either the rear differential only or both the front and rear differentials via a toggle switch located in the centre of the instrument panel. It has a Dana 44 M210 axle in the front, and for the rear there is a Dana 44 M220 axle with a 4.1 ratio. The Tru-Lok electric solenoid engagers can be activated whilst driving at up to 30 mph in 4WD low-range. The Rubicon adds off-road features to the Sport S, such as 33-inch BF Goodrich KO2 off-road tyres, seventeen-inch alloy wheels with grey-painted accents, electronic-locking front and rear axles, Rock rails, high clearance bumpers, and premium cloth seating surfaces. Touch sensors located on the front door handles, and tailgate handle for Rubicons are optionally equipped with the Remote Proximity Keyless Entry option.This outstanding Jeep is in unmarked condition and has only covered 13,000 miles from new. Imported into the UK in 2019 the fastidious vendor has used the car sparingly to keep the mileage to a modest level. The specification of this Jeep is impressive, she comes with a removeable hardtop, high-resolution front LED lights, premium sound system, double black off-road steel front bumper, off-road steel rear bumper, Magnaflow dual outlet performance exhaust and Gercia front grille. A tenth anniversary bonnet has been fitted, as has a set of Bushwacker flares and raised suspension with Fox shock absorbers. Standard equipment on this Rubicon includes automatic transmission, cream leather interior, anti-lock brakes and climate control. We are advised by the vendor that LA65 PXS will be serviced prior to the auction. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate, this low mileage, unmarked Wrangler appears to be very attractively estimated given the current market value of such examples.

1978 Volkswagen Beetle Karmann Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:40700The VW Beetle has seduced many a first-time buyer, collector and classic car enthusiast. And for obvious reasons; the parts network is huge and inexpensive, the ability to convert the base model into many different variants was always available and the cost of the car itself presented a gateway into classic car ownership. In fact, Wilhelm Karmann first applied himself into converting his own Beetle into the four-seat convertible we all know and love today.This wonderful Beetle Karmann convertible was imported into the UK in 1989 and is offered in the desirable European specification. Stored in a dehumidified heated garage for many years until 2012 at which time it was extensively restored and professionally converted to right hand drive. Also completed was a comprehensive repaint to the coachwork in an eye-catching Florida blue. It sits on a set of beautiful 15-inch Fuchs alloy wheels and comes complete with a brand new mohair hood. In the last 12 months it has had an extensive service costing over £1,800 and is supplied with a valid MoT test certificate, various sundry invoices and the UK V5C registration document. This is a very well presented example and we are sure it will be huge amounts of fun for the new custodian in the coming summer months.

1970 Fiat 500L Transmission: manualMileage:43522Designed by Dante Giacosa, the Fiat 500 was produced between 1957 and 1975 with limited production of the Fiat 500K estate continuing until 1977. Measuring only three metres long and originally powered by a tiny 479cc two-cylinder, air-cooled engine, the 500 redefined the term 'small car' and is considered one of the first city cars. Despite its diminutive size, the 500 proved to be an enormously practical and popular car throughout Europe, capturing the hearts and minds of the public. The 'L' or Lusso was manufactured between 1968 and 1972 and featured a much more up to date interior including a renewed dashboard that gave the 500 a more modern feel.This wonderful example was extensively restored in Italy before being imported into the UK in 2020. The current vendor has kept the car in a dehumidified garage and has used the car occasionally. The Fiat looks superb and is reported to drive very well indeed and comes with a history file containing sundry invoices and its current UK registration document. This is a fun and wonderfully presented car for a modest outlay with the added bonus of taking little space in the garage!

2005 Rolls-Royce Phantom VII Transmission: manualMileage:25400A historic model in the continuing history of the Rolls-Royce marque, the Phantom was the first all new design to be introduced by the company following its takeover by BMW. Produced at a new factory near Goodwood in Sussex, the Phantom revived a great name from Rolls-Royce's past that had always been synonymous with unrestrained luxury. In keeping with the tradition established by previous Phantoms, the newcomer was a very large motor car, outstretching the old Silver Seraph (the last Crewe-built Rolls-Royce) by 18 while boasting a radiator shell 4 taller. Priced at around £260,000 at time of launch, it was also 40% more expensive. At 140 ½ inches, the new car's wheelbase was only fractionally shorter than that of the superseded Phantom VI that had ceased production in the 1990s; gone however, was the old pushrod V8 engine, its place being taken by an all-new 48 valve V12 of 6.7 litre capacity. Despite being normally aspirated, the latter produced 460bhp, comfortably exceeding the old engine's maximum when turbo-charged, albeit at a high 5,300 revolutions. This abundance of power was transmitted to the rear axle via a six-speed automatic gearbox, while air-sprung suspension and automatic level control ensured that ride quality remained uncompromised. While the body structure represented the ultimate in automotive technology, its accoutrements remained entirely traditional in choice of materials, consisting of the finest hide trim, genuine woollen carpets, and carefully selected wood veneers. Certain dashboard features recalled those of earlier models, while there was a choice of five-seater 'Lounge' or four-seater 'Theatre' accommodation.Presented in Diamond Black with black leather interior, this superbly maintained flagship of the famous marque is offered with only a mere 25,400 miles on the odometer. It enjoys all the usual refinements one would expect, including electric memory seats, sunroof, rear entertainment screens built into the roof lining, hidden umbrellas in the rear doors and satellite navigation to name a few of the factory fitted options. The condition is extremely good considering its age but clearly with very little mileage covered, it shows none of the wear and tear that other models of this age now show.Realistically reserved, this presents great value for money and still offers that regal ride we all clamour for.

1948 Corgi Brockhouse 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 in military specification presents in Military Green and is a running and riding example.Guide Price £2,000 - £4,000

2000 Volkswagen Caravelle VR6 Camper Transmission: manualMileage:157303Introduced in 1990, the T4 was the first Volkswagen van to have a front-mounted, water-cooled engine. Prompted by the success of similar moves with their passenger cars, Volkswagen had toyed with the idea of replacing their air-cooled, rear-engined T2 vans with a front-engined, water-cooled design in the late 1970s. The reasons for deciding in 1980 to instead introduce a new rear-engined T3 are unclear. Thus, the introduction of a front-engined layout was delayed until the arrival of the T4. After a run of nearly 14 years, T4 production ceased in 2003, making it second only to the T1 for length of production in its home market.This example first registered June 2000 is presented in turquoise with grey trim and as a Caravelle has the option of an extra row of seats, however the owner has recently been using this as a day camper with a custom awning and fold out bed. A tow bar is fitted, as is a camper unit in the rear which includes a sink. This example also boasts the petrol VR6 engine made famous by the 2.8 litre unit used in the Volkswagen Golf hot hatch and is coupled with a custom stainless steel exhaust. This is coupled with an LPG fuel system making this not only a more powerful van for those long weekend trips but importantly more fuel-efficient, running seamlessly on cheaper LPG or petrol when necessary.  An incredibly versatile petrol VW camper conversion with the refined V6 engine.Guide Price £8,000 - £15,000 

1931 Morris Cowley Transmission: manualMileage:3294Morris Motors began in 1912 when bicycle manufacturer William Morris moved on from the sale, hire and repair of cars to car manufacturing. He planned a new light car assembled from bought-in components. In this way he was able to retain ownership by keeping within the bounds of his own capital resources. A factory was opened in 1913 at former Oxford Military College at Cowley, Oxford, where Morris's first car the two seat Morris Oxford 'Bullnose' was assembled. Nearly all the major components were bought-in. Morris Cowley was a name given to various cars produced by the Morris Motor Company from 1915 to 1958. In 1926, the Bullnose radiator was replaced by a flat version known as the Flatnose. These cars were built by Morris until 1931. The chassis was new and the suspension was updated with semi elliptic leaf springs all round plus Smiths friction type scissor shock absorbers. The brakes are rod and spring operated with cams inside the drums to actuate. It is interesting to note that the rear brake drums include two sets of shoes, one of which is connected directly to the handbrake. The basic 'Hotchkiss type' of engine continued on from the Bullnose of previous years.This Flatnose Morris with a solid nickel radiator was purchased by the owner in 2016 shortly before falling ill. Presented in blue coachwork with blue matching trim this example has recently been recommissioned after being stored for some six years and although running we would advise some further recommissioning and certainly new tyres. In 2015 in a pre-purchase inspection by the Morris registry the car was described as restored to original. Supplied with this Morris Flatnose is a buff logbook and the original handbook. Also supplied with the car is the current V5C registration document and many magazines and manuals. This could be a very useable pre-war car, and with further recommissioning will make for delightful and practical pre-war ownership.Guide Price £5,000 - £8,000 

1929 Morris Flatnose Doctors Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:William Morris's first car was called Oxford in recognition of its home city. It was announced in The Autocar magazine in October 1912 and production began in March 1913. Virtually all components were bought-in and assembled by Morris. It was a small car with a 1018 cc four-cylinder side-valve engine. The car got its popular name, Bullnose, from its distinctive round-topped radiator. Most bodies were of the two-seat open-tourer type, there was also a van version, but the chassis did not allow four-seat bodies to be fitted. The 1919 Oxford was also assembled from locally made components and now took on the rather more substantial aspect of 1915's Cowley. Longer and stronger than the old Oxford, enough to carry five passengers, the new Oxford retained the pre-war Bullnose radiator style in its larger version. The new car's 11.9hp, 1548 cc engine was made under licence in Coventry for Morris by Hotchkiss the French company. In 1923 the engine was enlarged to 13.9hp, 1802 cc. This became known as the 14/28 engine. In 1925 it got a longer wheelbase chassis to move it further from the Cowley, and four-wheel brakes. The distinctive bullnose radiator was dropped in 1926 in an updated version of the car. The engines remained the same, but a new range of bodies was offered including all-steel saloons. There were substantial changes to the chassis frame which was now firmly fixed to the bulkhead.This is one of two rare 1929 Morris Oxford Flatnose Doctors Coupé's which were, in the 1990's, part of a pre-war Morris collection owned by Donald Ridgley who it is believed to have carried cosmetic restoration to both cars before being sold to two different people.The first 1929 Morris Oxford Flatnose Doctors Coupé with dickie seat was purchased by the vendors husband in 2005, it had had some restoration which included a new interior, this was done when it was owned by Donald Ridgley. When it arrived it was running and driving well but had a crack in the windscreen and a couple of other minor faults which meant it would not pass a MoT test. The car was parked up though regularly stared and checked it was not used. Recently The car has taken from storage and gone through, even though it does not require an MoT all the minor faults, not including the windscreen, have been repaired and we are informed that everything now works. We would recommend that the purchaser of this car has it fully serviced and have the tyres replaced as it has not been moved for seventeen years. Finished in black with green side panels and green interior this rare Morris Oxford Doctors Coupé is supplied with a V5 registration document, original handbook and service manual.

1985 Land Rover 90 County Station Wagon Transmission: manualMileage:76200The Land Rover Defender was developed in the 1980's from the original Land Rover series that was launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show in April 1948. This four-wheel drive vehicle was the British equivalent of the American Willys Jeep. Built using a steel ladder chassis and aluminium bodywork the Defender gained a worldwide reputation for ruggedness and versatility.The car on offer today is a genuine four-cylinder, petrol County Station Wagon with power steering in Trident Green.

1981 Cadillac Seville Transmission: manualMileage:51525The Seville was manufactured by Cadillac between 1975 and 2004 as a smaller-sized, premium model. It was replaced by the STS in 2004. The name of 'Cadillac's first small car' was selected over a revival Lasalle or the GM design staff's preference, Lascala, primarily because, as noted by GM Marketing Director Gordon Horsburgh, It had no negatives. This new model was Cadillacs answer to the rising popularity of European luxury imports such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW. The companies' planners were concerned that their once high ranking in automotive production was fading, especially among the younger generation of car buyers.This 1981 second generation example was registered in the UK in July 2006.It has benefitted from coachworks that have extended the bonnet making the rare example we see today. Powered by a 6.0 litre engine, we are told that this Cadillac glides with ease and is a joy to drive. The paintwork is in good order and the interior is immaculate. Presented to auction with a V5C registration document, the sale of this funky looking piece of American includes the desirable cherished number plate.

1969 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI Transmission: manualMileage:The Phantom VI was an ultra-exclusive rolling chassis made from 1968-1990. From 1968 to 1973 it was manufactured by Rolls-Royce Ltd., and during 1973-1990, by its successor, Rolls-Royce Motors. Most of the whole production of 374 units were bodied as limousines, a few landaulettes (12), and at least one as a convertible, and some hearses (4).  The Phantom VI was used, until 2002, as official state car by the British Queen Elizabeth II. Based on the Phantom V, the Phantom VI had a re-styled dashboard and was powered by an engine derived from the current Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. Most of the coachwork was created by Mulliner Park Ward. The Phantom VI was the last Rolls-Royce with a separate chassis built at the London Rolls-Royce coachworks at Hythe Road, Willesden. It featured coil springs to the front, leaf springs to the rear, and drum brakes on all four wheels, later cars having hydraulic power assistance. The car was powered by a V8 6,230cc engine with twin SU carburettors and coupled to a four-speed automatic gearbox. The limousine was based on its predecessor the Phantom V with many improvements and some alterations to the exterior, notably a lower radiator grille and a sloping bonnet.This interesting Phantom VI has latterly been the property of the world's leading luxury department store Harrods and its legendary owner Mr. Mohamed Al-Fayed. Prior to joining the fleet of eight other limousines, used exclusively by Harrods for the transportation of visiting VIPs, Dignitaries and Royalty, the car underwent an extensive mechanical and body restoration to the highest standards and was refinished in Harrods' Green with a basket-weave side effect and a tan roof. It was subsequently fitted with a bespoke green leather interior by SC Gordon Ltd. complete with a television, VHS player, fax machine, wine cooler, cocktail cabinet, three telephones, and a custom headlining screen-printed with the iconic Harrods' logo. A comprehensive record of this renovation is available for inspection together with the car's previous service history. As part of Harrods fleet, it was expertly maintained in-house regardless of cost and this care has continued with our vendor. This imposing limousine has covered just 10,260 miles from new and is supplied with the aforementioned restoration and service invoices and a V5C registration document. With style, grace, luxury all under one roof, is there any wonder these cars have been enjoyed by the rich, the famous and royalty throughout the world.

1933 Rover 12 Special Transmission: manualMileage:46407Starting its life as an unassuming Rover 12 saloon this Special was once owned by Tory agent Mr Wood who in 1984 collided with another car on the A38 while over twice the drink driving limit! Needless to say, the car needed repairs and thus the life of a Rover Special began, all corroborated by an article in the Cornish Times found in the history file. Indeed, after the crash the car remained laid up for four years until Mr Wood decided to use the car as a van, but as years went by, he eventually sold the car in 2000 to the then owner who had the express intent to create the Special for hill climbs and rallies. Our owner purchased the car last year, at this stage the car was in good shape but needed recommissioning and fettling which, being a keen enthusiast, he duly completed with invoices and receipts in the history file to show. However, despite loving the looks of the car, being used to perhaps more exotic vehicles and the like he decided to concentrate his time on other projects. Presented in blue coachwork with contrasting red trim the first thoughts of this little Rover Special are of how pretty the duck tail body is, the history plots the restoration process and clearly indicates this was completed to a good standard. The history file that accompanies the car includes invoices, three photo albums of the rebuild, history relating to the original car including buff logbook, and a current UK V5 registration document. The 1465cc engine is showing good compression, the car starts on the button and would be an ideal partner for a foray into vintage/classic rallies, indeed has been accepted for VSCC eligibility. With some light fettling we are sure it would be competitive and huge amounts of fun, indeed this plucky yet gorgeous little Rover will tug on many a heartstring and promises to provide the new enthusiast with many miles of enjoyment.

1959 MG Magnette Mk. III Transmission: manualMileage:18500The Mk. III was announced in  February 1959  and was nearly identical to the Riley version (the 4/68) of the new Pininfarina designed midsize BMC saloon line. They both had truncated tailfins.The car featured BMC's 1489 cc B type engine but, in the MG Magnette III (and its Riley sibling), performance was enhanced by fitting twin SU HD4 carburettors. The interior featured a walnut veneer facia panel, door cappings and leather upholstery as well as safety glass windows.This MG Magnette with chassis number GHS-1/5831 was first registered on 8th October 1959 and purchased by its first owner, Thomas Benjamin Brunt, on 21st October 1959. He kept the car for 23 years until 1982 by which time it had covered approximately 13,300 miles. It was purchased by Frank William Harrison who retained the car for the next 36 years. He covered a further 4,300 miles, bringing the total to 17,600 miles. The car was purchased from his estate by Black & White Classics in Rugeley in Staffordshire in 2018. They later entered the MG in the Brightwells Classic & Vintage Auction at Leominster held on 11th July 2018. This information is based on the original documents that came with the car, contact with the families of the previous owners and relevant garages and other historical documents, as noted.This almost certainly unique MG Magnette Mk. III is generally referred to as the Farina shape. The first owner specified the exterior colour of Cherry Red, only available for the 1959 model year, complemented by Crimson Red interior. The previous and the present owner have only added a few hundred miles to the total which must make this the lowest mileage Magnette in existence. The car remains in very good condition with excellent bodywork, paintwork and interior. A well-documented history accompanies the car including owner's handbook, invoices, sales brochures, its original buff logbook and MoT certificates from 1966. A full six-page typed history of this fabulous British motor car can be found in the history file and is well worth a read and it also comes with an MoT test cerctificate which expires in October this year. It also featured in the February 2019 edition of Enjoying MG and is bound to attract attention wherever it goes.

1907 Renault 20/30 Tourer Transmission: manualMileage:A simply stunning early large engined five litre Renault. This car is in impeccable condition having been carefully conserved & maintained over several decades by the current owner who is now ready to part with it due to his advancing years. Draped with brass wherever one looks, the spectacle is a real eye full.The engine at just under five litres capacity starts easily and runs beautifully. An electric starter is fitted but it's easy to swing it on the handle with recourse to the decompression lever. The gears are four forward speeds in a sequential gate with reverse being found by pulling the lever upwards.The Renault has a light patination and was featured prominently in the Mr Selfridge series. It sits on Warland detachable rim wheels, a spare of which is mounted to the running board.  Splendid brass lamps adorn the front of the car and an assortment of other period lamps are found in the appropriate locations along with some modern lights for safe night-time running which could easily be removed.  A Phares Besnard acetylene generator is mounted to the running board.The interior is nicely worn buttoned maroon leather with red carpets. A full length hood easily unfurls for inclement motoring. This is a big powerful Edwardian car that compares well as a sort of Gallic Silver Ghost.  It is easy to drive and a pleasure to run along B roads in. Formerly part of the renowned Sword collection this wonderful example will enhance any serious collect and is ready to be enjoyed by its new custodian.

1951 Land Rover Series I 80' Transmission: manualMileage:49300In the aftermath of the Second World War, Rover's chief engineer Maurice Wilks used a 'demobbed' Willys Jeep around his farm in Anglesey and was impressed with its abilities. Eventually, it wore out and he was keen to replace it with a British vehicle. However, nothing remotely similar was available. Coincidentally, his brother Spencer, who was Managing Director at Rover, had reached the same conclusion as he struggled to get his Rover 10 to reach the more inaccessible parts of his estate on Islay. This is where `The Best 4x4 by Far' started - a utility vehicle devised in 1947, they would have no idea that Maurice's resulting design would become an icon and launch a whole new industry sector. The vehicle appeared as the 'Land Rover' in 1948 and proved so popular with the military and the farming fraternity that demand massively outstripped supply.Produced in 1951 and originally issued to the Armed Forces in 1952, this Land Rover was released to private hands in 1960 and first registered in 1963. All of which is documented in a detailed summary of its history, accompanied by a full photo album of its restoration which took place in 2007. The restoration, described as extensive and expansive, was carried out by The County Workshops - a father and son run Land Rover specialist. Since the restoration the car has weathered and developed a fabulous Land Rover patina while still retaining new seat pads. The file for this Land Rover contains a V5C registration document and bills and receipts, coupled with an MoT test certificate until February 2023. In classic Land Rover Green with an authentic patina, the canvas covers are also in good order. This Land Rover Series I is a fine example and given the values achieved by recent sales of similar models, appears to be extremely well estimated.

1982 Ford Transit MK. II Pick-up Transmission: manualMileage:19571The insurance premiums of commercial vehicles are high for good reason, i.e., such machines are generally as abused as they are used, which makes 'VTV 699Y' a real rarity. Built in 1982, it is a drop-side pick-up derivative of Ford's ubiquitous Transit, that has had just three former keepers and currently indicates a notably low but credible 19,571 miles.Finished in white with black interior trim, it is regarded by the vendor as having 'very good' bodywork, paintwork, upholstery, but is unquestionably in time warp original condition by comparison with most examples of the breed. The 2.0 litre Pinto petrol engine is said to run well and the gearbox changes smoothly. It comes complete with a November 2019 invoice for £351.98 covering the supply and fitment of sundry maintenance items including: water pump, timing belt, a set of sparking plugs, replacement oil and air filters, a pair of new tyres, and a wiper blade. Original classic light commercials do not come much better than this.

1969 Jaguar E-Type Series II 2+2 Fixedhead Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:57360The Jaguar E-Type was initially designed and shown to the public as a grand tourer in two-seater coupé form and as a convertible roadster. Open headlights without glass covers, a wrap-around rear bumper, re-positioned and larger front indicators and taillights below the bumpers, better cooling aided by an enlarged 'mouth' and twin electric fans, together with up-rated brakes are all hallmarks of the Series II cars. The interior and dashboard were also re-designed with rocker switches being substituted for toggle switches. The dashboard switches also lost their symmetrical layout. New seats were fitted which purists claim lacked the style of the originals but were certainly more comfortable; air conditioning and power steering were available as factory options.This Jaguar E-Type Coupé was imported into the UK in 2018 and is presented in red over a black leather interior. Various work has been completed since import including new floor pans, a comprehensive brake overhaul, new electronic distributor, new exhaust, and a new battery. Described by the vendor to run and drive well, it is supplied with a history folder including a V5/C registration document, sundry invoices, and import and taxes paid documents. This genuine left hand drive E-Type Series II 2+2 4.2 Coupé sits proudly and is ready to be enjoyed by a new custodian. 

1979 Ford Cortina Mk. IV 2.0S Transmission: manualMileage:75007The fourth-generation Cortina was a more conventional design than its predecessor, and this was largely appreciated by fleet buyers. Generally, it was a rebody of the Mk. III with little mechanical change as an integration of Ford's model range, and as a result, the Cortina and Taunus now differed only in badging. Although the updated Taunus was introduced to Continental Europe in January 1976, Ford were able to continue selling the Cortina Mk. III in undiminished numbers in the UK until they were ready to launch its successor as the Dagenham built Cortina Mark IV, which went on sale on 29th September 1976. Many parts were carried over, most notably the running gear. The raised driving position and the new instrument panel had, along with some of the suspension upgrades, already been introduced to the Cortina Mk. III in 1973, so that from the driving position, the new car looked much more familiar to owners of recent existing Cortina's than from the outside.Originally registered on 1st April 1979 this Cortina Mk. IV is an exceptionally rare 2.0S model. Finished in white with the sport Carla interior trim which is in good order, this is a restoration project, however what a great car to carry out a restoration on. It is not known how many S derivate Mk. IV's are surviving today but is thought less than 20 nationwide and with the figure likely to be around 12. This is a relatively simple restoration project and as any Ford aficionados are aware, these are simple, uncomplicated cars to work on. The owner's clubs are a great source of information in respect to technical data and tracking down any obscure parts. Supplied with a V5C registration document, this iconic Ford Cortina deserves to be restored to her former glory.

2004 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Transmission: manualMileage:24000The Scaglietti 2+2 Coupé was penned by Frank Stephenson under Ken Okuyama at Pininfarina, and it is said that design, especially the strident side scallops and headlights, were a nod to the coachbuilt 1954 375 MM that film director, Roberto Rossellini, had commissioned for his wife Ingrid Bergan. The newcomer replaced the outgoing 456 but, being physically larger, was a genuine four-seat Grand Tourer. It was Ferrari's second all-aluminium vehicle and comprised of a spaceframe manufactured in conjunction with Alcoa, that was a combination of extrusions and castings to which the body was then welded. The same chassis formed the basis of Ferrari's 599 GTB flagship Grand Tourer. The front, mid-mounted, V12 powerplant was shared with the 575 Superamerica and was not six litres as the name suggests but 5.7, though big enough for a healthy power output of 533bhp and equally impressive performance figures, including a 0-62mph time of 4.2 seconds and a top speed north of the magic 200mph. A total of just 3,025 units were manufactured between 2004 and 2011, of which just 199 are manual examples!Registered new on 16th February 2007 this well presented example is offered in a wonderful colour combination and is a very rare manual example. Forming part of the current vendors private collection the 612 Scaglietti has been maintained regardless of cost and has been used occasionally during his tenure. Offered with all relevant Ferrari booklets, many sundry invoices and receipts, old MoT records, the UK registration document, and a current MoT test certificate. This rare example is ready to be enjoyed by its new custodian and will enhance any serious collection.

1978 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II Transmission: manualMileage:65346The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was released to the public in October 1965. This new model was ten years in development and the new series was characterised by surprisingly modern features. Rolls-Royce broke new ground and broke away from many sacred design principles. The new models were technically striking in three ways; a monocoque chassis was used, all the wheels were sprung independently and four-wheel disc brakes ensured stopping power of that expected in a modern car. Under the bonnet, the V8 engine that had been introduced in the Silver Cloud series was employed. In February 1977, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II was introduced. Outwardly, the models were identifiable by bumpers with rubber inserts and edges made from polyurethane. The most notable mechanical changes were to the rack and pinion steering, and there were also modifications to the front suspension which improved handling markedly. The car had been subjected to extensive wind tunnel testing, the result of which created a car with much better stability at high speed.This imposing Rolls-Royce was supplied new in 1978 by the world-famous franchised dealer Jack Barclay. This low ownership example has been in the same family for the last 34 years. It was purchased by a garage owner in 1988 and on his death in 2013 it passed to his wife. It is offered to auction following her recent death. Presented in Brewster Green with a tan Connolly leather interior this Shadow II shows only 65,346 miles on the clock which is believed to be accurate. The carpets, footrests and woodwork are all in good order and the engine bay is immaculate having benefitted from a thorough detailing. Presented to auction with a V5C registration document, spare keys, lambswool over rugs, owners handbook and a complete and original toolkit. Unfortunately, the service history has been misplaced.

1980 Mitsubishi Sapporo Transmission: automaticMileage:71131The Mitsubishi Sapporo coupé was in production from 1978 until 1984. These were very well equipped vehicles for the time. Standard equipment included four electric windows revealing a great looking pillarless coupé, power steering, alloy wheels and a radio cassette. Compare that to the UK based manufacturers at the time and it is easy to see how the Japanese manufacturers managed to gain such a foothold in the UK market. These cars are supremely reliable and simple to work on.This example was originally registered in the UK on 5th September 1980 and presents in remarkable condition, particularly taking into account the car is 40 years old. The white coachwork is in very good condition and the beige velour interior is also in very good order showing no real signs of wear. We are advised the car drives well and is supplied with a V5C registration document, a MoT test certificate which expires in February 2023, service books and manual, together with a substantial history folder. These cars are rare and highly sought-after. Mitsubishi Sapporo's in this condition are virtually unheard of. 

2006 MG ZT V8 260 Transmission: manualMileage:47552In 2001, three years after the launch of the Rover 75, and less than a year after the demerger of MG Rover from BMW, the MG ZT and MG ZT-T were launched. During the cars' development, the models were codenamed X10 and X11, for the saloon and estate versions, respectively. The basic shape and styling of the MG ZT remained the same as for the Rover 75 but with changes to the front bumper, now with an integrated grille, and detail alterations including colour coding of the chromed waistline, a new boot lid plinth, and different alloy wheels and tyres sizes. During the first few months of 2004, MG Rover facelifted the design of the ZT and ZT-T to a less retro look, at the same time as the Rover 75 received a facelift. This didn't feature much in the way of mechanical differences to the ZT, most changes were merely aesthetic. The main changes to the car included the replacement of the twin headlamps, with a new, clear single headlamp unit. Between 2003 and 2006 the top of the ZT range, and the rarest, was rear wheel drive and powered by the Ford 4601cc V8 engine giving 300bhp, 0-60 in 6.3 seconds and a top speed of 155mph.This rare, UK supplied, MG ZT 260 fitted with the Ford V8 engine and five speed manual gearbox was first registered in November 2006 and has only covered 47,500 miles from new. Finished in grey with black interior this MG ZT 260 is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in April 2023 and the original handbook pack. The British Bulldog is alive and kicking with this model and at that time was built to rival the BMW M3, with its rear wheel drive linked to a limited-slip differential. This much overlooked car is discreet on the outside, luxurious inside, but equipped with a heart of thunder. 

1954 Singer 4AD SM Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:68600The Singer Roadster is a nine tax horsepower open 2/4 seater sports-tourer automobile manufactured by Singer from 1939 until 1955. It was launched in March 1939 as an open version of Singer's Bantam saloon and using many Bantam parts. After less than six months production was suspended for the duration of World War II then restarted with the engine moved forward, more interior space and other minor modifications. The Roadster was upgraded to the 4A model in 1949 with a four-speed manual gearbox. The short lived 4AB and 4AC models were released in 1950 followed by the 4AD SM Roadster in 1951. Singer Roadsters competed with the MG T series. The flowing lines of the car made it one of the most attractive roadsters in the market. The last cars were made in 1955. A few special Singer 4A car bodies were made by coachbuilder James Young.This pretty 4AD roadster is presented in green with cream trim and wet weather gear. First registered in February 1954, this example was purchased from new by the family and transferred to the daughter in 2005 and has been in professional storage of late. It has been regularly started and as such the chassis and running gear are in good order though the body could benefit from some minor attention. Supplied with the original bill of sale. The electrics are all functioning well and but for recommissioning this would make a fabulous weekend roadster, inexpensive and great fun.Guide price £8,000 - £12,000Interested parties should note that the registration displayed on this car is not sold with the lot, a new age-related number has been applied for and will arrive in due course. Historics hold no responsibility for the DVLA timelines, but we are informed this process was started two weeks ago.

1970 GMC K-Series Pick-up Truck (Long Bed) Transmission: manualMileage:17145GMC was founded in 1900 as Grabowsky Motor Company by brothers Max (1874-1946) and Morris Grabowsky, in Detroit, and renamed Rapid Motor Vehicle Company in 1902 when the brothers moved operations to Michigan. In 1909 William Durant gained control of Rapid Motor Vehicle Company and made it a subsidiary of his General Motors Company. In 1908 Durant gained control of Reliance Motor Car Company, another early commercial vehicle manufacturer. In 1911 General Motors formed the General Motors Truck Company and folded Rapid and Reliance into it. In 1912 the Rapid and Reliance names were dropped in favour of 'GMC'. All General Motors truck production was consolidated at the former Rapid Motor Plant in Michigan. The second-generation C/K series was introduced for the 1967 model year. Designated the 'Action Line' generation by General Motors, the C/K largely carried over its drop-centre ladder frame and its coil-sprung rear axle, but the body was redesigned from the ground up to improve its capability as a multi-purpose vehicle. Alongside a utilitarian vehicle intended for work or farm use, the C/K was also offered with optional features carried over from Chevrolet saloons, including automatic transmissions, AM/FM radio, carpet, and two-tone paint. The drivetrain line underwent multiple revisions, as a large-block V8 was offered for the first time in 1968.This handsome truck was imported into the UK by the vendor in 2002 after he saw the GMC in America and decided there and then he wanted to own it. After twenty years of ownership, he has decided to part with this 'Long bed' ¾ ton pick-up. Presenting in delightful condition and in the great colour combination of blue and white, this really is a great piece of Americana. Ample chromework is synonymous of such vehicles and this example certainly does not disappoint. The 400ci (6.55 litres) V8 engine is mated to a manual gearbox. The vendor has put a higher ratio differential in the truck to make motorway cruising more comfortable, we are advised she tops out around 65mph. Recently the brake wheel cylinders have been replaced and new spark plugs and points were fitted. We are advised by the vendor she drives with no known faults. Supplied with a V5C registration document this K-Series GMC awaits only its second owner in the UK and is ready to be enjoyed immediately.

1981 Ford Capri 2.8i Transmission: manualMileage:61000The Ford Capri was the Ford Mustang of Europe. A mind boggling array of options meant that the Capri could be whatever you wanted it to be; just like the Mustang. The Capri was, in fact, a far more varied animal than the Mustang with engines ranging from 1300cc to 3100cc as well as a myriad of trim specifications. The Capri was released to the press on 24th January 1969 at the Brussels Motor Show and caused a sensation. For the 1982 model year, a new sporty version debuted at the Geneva Motor Show called the 2.8 Injection. Power rose to a claimed 160bhp giving a top speed of 130mph.Registered new on 18th October 1981 this very well presented example is offered in black coachwork over a tartan interior and looks superb. The coachwork is in good condition with very few blemishes and the period tartan interior is also presented very well. Purchased new in Nottingham the Capri comes with a history file detailing various sundry invoices, old MoT test certificates, the current UK registration document, and a current MoT test certificate valid until 29th September 2022. Ready to be enjoyed in the coming summer months.

1966 Pontiac GTO Monkee-mobile Transmission: manualMileage:77817Formed in Los Angeles in 1966 The Monkees consisted of Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork and Davy Jones. The group was conceived for a situation comedy series of the same name and enjoyed considerable success with music included in the show which was also released on LP. Spurred on by the success of the show, The Monkees were one of the most successful bands of the 1960s. The band sold more than 75 million records worldwide making them one of the biggest-selling groups of all time with international hits, including 'Last Train to Clarksville', 'I'm a Believer', 'A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You', 'Pleasant Valley Sunday', and 'Daydream Believer', and four chart-topping albums. Newspapers and magazines falsely reported that The Monkees outsold The Beatles and The Rolling Stones combined in 1967.This Monkee-mobile was created in New York from a 1966 Pontiac GTO by James Benken, a specialist East Coast film car custom shop. It was then shipped to the UK just in time for The Monkees 2011, 45th anniversary tour beginning in Liverpool. The driver for that tour is the current owner of this stunning Pontiac and he has described the tremendous amount of fun he and the band had touring around the UK. So welcome was the car by the band, that Peter Tork, bass guitarist and banjo player, couldn't believe what he was seeing and said that he hadn't seen it since they were filming the TV series back in the 1970s. This manual transmission Pontiac is fully road legal and is well known on the celebrity vehicle circuit. The bodywork is signed by the band and features in various photographs with them. With a recent example selling in America for over $250,000 this rare car is not only incredible fun, but sensibly priced given the provenance. The car has an MOT valid until May 2023.

1988 Lotus Esprit Transmission: manualMileage:65000The 1987 Lotus Esprit benefitted from a far-reaching restyle by Peter Stevens. Out went many of the sharp lines, to be replaced by a more organic aero look. It worked, too - the Esprit certainly looked like a contemporary product when launched, and still looks timeless today. Originally, the name Kiwi was proposed for the Esprit but, in keeping with the Lotus tradition of having all car model names start with the letter 'E', the name became Esprit. There was a little more power and a little more weight, but overall the Esprit experience was uncorrupted by the update. The Citroën SM gearbox was replaced by a Renault GTA unit, along with outboard rear brakes. The interior for both cars was revised and featured new trim; combined with changes to the body moulds this resulted in more headroom and an enlarged foot well.This car started life briefly as a demonstrator with Lotus distributor Malmesbury Specialist Cars. Within two weeks, it was snapped up by Jon Abbot from Devon. Jon owned the car for the next 27 years, until his death in 2015. During this time, it was fully serviced by the renowned Lotus specialist South West Lotus Centre. Upon Jon's death, the car joined the company's prestige collection of Lotus cars and attended many rallies and shows.The current owner had to be very persuasive to let them sell the car to him. He said 'it was like being interviewed for a job"¦it was a treasured car and they wanted to know I would take care of it'.Since then, the car has lived life in a dehumidified garage and only going out on dry days. The current owner says 'this has been a much easier car to own than I expected. The engine is really simple, with no fragile turbo parts"¦its rock solid and fires up first time, even in the depths of winter.'It has been meticulously maintained and in very good condition. This 1988 Lotus Esprit NA is offered in its original gleaming Monaco White paintwork, excellent full leather grey upholstery and factory fitted air conditioning. This car is the only UK Esprit ever made with this combination and is one of only two cars ever made in white with grey upholstery (ref. Certificate of Provenance).Only 290 Stevenson designed Lotus Esprit NA cars were ever made and this car was the 22nd off the production line. It retains its original legendary 172hp 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine for which the Esprit is renowned. The engine runs very smoothly with improved performance and exhaust note from the upgraded stainless steel exhaust system. Recent compression test showed 150psi (+-10%) at each cylinder. The mileage of 65,000 miles is supported by the documentation. The vehicle electrics are all working as they should and a period effect radio is fitted with bluetooth connectivity. The engine bay is clean and well presented. This car has never been off the road or required any major restoration. The headlining has been replaced with stunning grey suede. Brand new top quality carpets have just been fitted to the cabin and boot compartment. The original full leather upholstery is in incredible condition with none of the usual wear and tear evident. The wheels have been replaced (7000 miles ago) and look beautiful and very little wear is evident on the tyres. The rear suspension was replaced last year, with all springs, bushes and dampers replaced. The front suspension was replaced approximately 15,000 miles ago.  The car comes complete with a Lotus Certificate or Provenance and all MOT test certificates showing a steady progression of mileage and that it has never been off the road. A comprehensive history file includes all invoices and service history from the date it was first registered.The owner is also including within this sale the optional rear spoiler. He preferred the car without it fitted, but the spoiler includes the fixings to easily reattach it. He is also including his copy of the pricey 500 page Service Notes Manual, detailing every aspect of this car and how to look after it. 

1949 Corgi Brockhouse Mk.II 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, and handbook.Guide Price £2,000 - £4,000

1961 Jaguar Mk. II (3.4 litre) MOD Transmission: manualMileage:67641The Jaguar Mk. II was a medium size saloon built from 1959 to 1967 as a successor to the 2.4 and 3.4 models, manufactured between 1957 and 1959.  The Mk. II was handsome, powerful and a 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 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 all-round disc 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 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 has scored victories throughout saloon car races in the sixties 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.  Conversely, the Jaguar Mk. II received acclaim amongst law enforcement too; used by John Thaw as the fictional crime-fighting character Inspector Morse in the 1980s television show of the same name.Originally registered on the 1st June 1962 and presented in grey with contrasting blood red trim showing a lovely patina this Mk. II is privately owned. This example is described by the vendor as driving very well with the perfectly balanced 3.4 litre engine combining with the manual Moss gearbox with optional overdrive. Supplied with a current V5C registration document it also benefits from having a desirable registration number of 98 PTG which is included with the sale of the car, together with a good history file.

1980 Triumph Dolomite Sprint Transmission: manualMileage:13687Although the Triumph Dolomite proved to be refined and rapid, competitors such as the BMW 2002 had a performance advantage which was costing Triumph dearly, both in terms of sales and prestige. To remedy this, Triumph unveiled the Dolomite Sprint in June 1973. A team of engineers led by Spen King developed a 16-valve cylinder head with all the valves being actuated using a single camshaft rather than the more conventional DOHC arrangement. The capacity was also increased to 1998cc and combined with bigger carburettors the output was upped to 127bhp. This represented a significant power increase over the smaller 1850cc variant, targeting 135bhp.First registered on 12th March 1980 this Dolomite Sprint presents well in the head turning colour of Inca Yellow which is complemented with a dark grey interior. The car appears to be sensibly estimated given the recent popularity of similar models. The Sprints enthusiast owner tells us that this Triumph runs well and is a joy to drive. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and various bills and receipts this MoT exempt Dolomite could prove to be a fun investment and should be given serious consideration.

1983 Vauxhall Astra Mk. I GTE Transmission: manualMileage:20782General Motors was a late entrant to the hot-hatch market waiting until 1983 - but when it did turn up to the party, it did so with an amazingly effective weapon. The original Cavalier SRi-powered 115bhp car was just about perfect in every way - and easily a match for the all-conquering Golf GTi.Even in cooking form, the Astra was a great handling car, but when fitted with wide, low-profile tyres, lowered suspension and gifted the excellent 1.8-litre 'Family Two' engine, it was transformed into a flying machine. The GTE arrived in 1983, and within a few months received a close-ratio gearbox - to answer the only criticism of the launch cars, their too-high gearing. Yet, not long after, the Mk. I GTE made way for the aerodynamic Mk. II version.This excellent Mk. I Astra GTE has only covered 20,700 miles from new. Supplied by Heron, Slough to Mr. Dillion of Anglesey, North Wales, it appears he sold the car to someone who lived near to him and then purchased the car back again. Around 2015 the car went to Northern Ireland returning to England in 2019. Purchased a few months ago by a specialist company who supply vehicles to the film and television industry, to complement other 1980's cars in their possession and to be used in period productions based in the 1980's. This lovely Mk. I Astra finished in silver with the original grey interior still has all the correct stickers under the bonnet. Supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in January 2023, old registration documents, spare keys and the original hand books. As an '80s hot hatch, an early GTE offers the best of both worlds - the ultimate grip of a P6-shod XR3 and the solidity and fun of a Golf GTi. A truly underrated challenger of its time.

1961 Jaguar E-Type Series I Roadster (Outside bonnet lock) Transmission: manualMileage:34474When introduced at the 1961 Geneva Motor show, the new Jaguar E-Type caused a sensation with its sleek and timeless design backed by its staggering performance. Its design owed much to the racing D-Type, in fact, the E-Type would be one of the last great sports cars developed directly from a successful competition predecessor. Just as with the D-Type, a monocoque tub formed the main body/chassis while the engine and gearbox were supported by a tubular spaceframe. The engine was the same 3.8 litre, triple carburetted 'S' unit first offered as an option on the preceding XK150 model. With a claimed 265bhp giving a top speed of 153mph the E-Type was in the same league as the Italian V12 engined cars of the time. Features on the E-Type included disc brakes all round, rack and pinon steering, coil springs and double wishbone, and independent front suspension. The rear suspension broke new ground for a large capacity sportscar being independent at a time when most of its rivals relied on the traditional live rear axle. Often called the most beautiful production car of all time, the E-Type remains an automotive icon of design, engineering and speed.This delightful left hand drive Jaguar E-Type Roadster, fitted with the correct 'external bonnet locks' was supplied by Jaguar Cars, New York on 28th June to R. Donan, Excelsior, Minnesota. It is thought the car went to California shortly after registration, where it has spent most of its time, confirmed by its rust-free and original condition. Chassis number '875119' was supplied with engine number R1156-9, which was replaced with a 3.8 litre engine number R2131-9. This was also manufactured in 1961. The original engine block is supplied with the car and we are advised it could be restored and refitted to the car, should the new owner choose to do so. At the time of the engine change the original Moss gearbox was removed and replaced with a much more user-friendly synchromesh gearbox from a later 4.2 litre example. The car was purchased by the current owner in California and repatriated to the UK in February 2014, however prior to the car leaving the US she received a light restoration, retaining its original colour combination of Opalescent Gunmetal Grey with light blue interior. During the restoration it was found that the body still had most of its original features including three-piece, handmade doors, welded in bonnet louvres, additional drain holes in the boot channel and petrol filler aperture. Other notable original features are the Butler rear number plate lights, Dunlop brakes and the factory supplied cooling fan. The only other significant upgrade, other than the all-synchromesh gearbox is an aluminium radiator. This lovely E-Type is supplied with a V5C registration document, a copy of the Californian title, the Heritage certificate, a file containing photographs and various invoices and the original 'First Edition' handbook. Being the 119th left hand drive E-Type manufactured this is a very rare opportunity to purchase a good example of the 'Holy Grail' of E-Types and is one of the most desirable British icons available today.

1970 Triumph TR6 Transmission: manualMileage:76170The Triumph TR6 was manufactured for seven years from 1969 and by the time production came to an end in July 1976, it was the best-seller of the TR range. The bodywork closely resembled that of the previous model, the Triumph TR5, however the front and rear were squared off and all TR6s featured inline six-cylinder engines. For the US market, the engine was fitted with carburettors whilst, for other world markets including the UK, the TR6 was fitted with fuel-injection. It featured a four-speed manual gearbox, independent rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, 15 wheels and tyres, pile carpet on the floors and boot, bucket seats and a full complement of instruments. In total 94,619 TR6s were built of which 86,249 were sold overseas and only 8,370 were sold in the UK.Originally registered on 4th September 1970, this TR6 presents in delightful condition throughout. With four former keeper and relatively low mileage, it is clear this Triumph has been well cared for throughout its 52 years on British roads. A genuine UK example and still bearing the original fuel injection system which has been overhauled recently, other mechanical work carried out recently includes rebuilding the engine and overhauling the braking system. A new fuel tank and petrol pump have recently been fitted, as have two new driveshafts and universal joints. The fastidious vendor has also had a new soft top fitted, together with new tyres and carpets. The underside of the car and chassis has also had restoration work carried out recently. Bills for the work carried out are in the history folder, which includes a V5C registration document, a Heritage Certificate and a current MoT test certificate valid until 24th August 2022. This 150bhp example is finished in green with black interior, and is a very well sorted example, ready to use and enjoy immediately.Interested parties please note, this TR6 was advertised in the catalogue as coming with a hardtop. This is not included in the sale of the car. We apologise for any inconvenience.

1981 Ford Cortina Ghia Mk. V (2.0 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:995The biggest step forward for the fourth-generation Cortina was that it finally saw the convergence of the German Taunus and the British Cortina. No longer were these two separate ranges but merely the same cars carrying different badges. The Mk. V was announced on 24th August 1979 and officially the program was code named Teresa although externally it was marketed as 'Cortina 80'. Largely an update to the Mk. IV, it was really a step between a facelift and a re-body. The Mk. V differentiated itself from the Mk. IV by having revised headlights with larger turn indicators incorporated, a wider slatted grille said to be more aerodynamically efficient, a flattened roof, larger glass area, slimmer C-pillars with revised vent covers, larger slatted taillights (on saloon models) and upgraded trim. Improvements were also made to the engine range with slight improvements to both fuel economy and power output compared to the Mk. IVThis rare four door Mk. V Ford Cortina automatic was supplied new in London in December 1981. Due to its age it now qualifies for free road fund licence, it is MoT test exempt and is ULEZ compatible. This low ownership example has recently benefitted from a considerable amount of money being spent on recommissioning. Works included the fitting of a new radiator, exhaust pipe and alternator. The bodywork of this iconic Ford is in good order and is complemented by a sumptuous velour interior. The look is enhanced with period correct alloy wheels, a factory fitted steel sunroof and a working radio cassette player. An earlier engine rebuild was undertaken and this Cortina is fitted with a fully documented LPG conversion. We are informed that with the flick of a switch the car runs well on gas. The often troublesome automatic choke has recently been replaced with a much more user friendly manual version. Supplied with a V5C registration document, a valid MoT test certificate despite its exemption by age, and various paperwork including a superb Ford press release 'The Cortina story'. Offered without reserve this Ford is an opportunity not to be missed.

1976 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I Transmission: manualMileage:The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was a luxury saloon car built from 1965 through to 1980 and was the first Rolls-Royce to be constructed using a monocoque chassis and, to date, has the largest production volume of any Rolls-Royce. The original Shadow was 3½ inches narrower and seven inches shorter than its predecessor, the Silver Cloud, but managed to offer increased passenger and luggage space thanks to more efficient packaging. Aside from a more modern appearance and construction, the Silver Shadow introduced many new features such as disc brakes replacing drum brakes and independent rear suspension rather than the ageing live axle design of previous models. It featured a 189bhp 6.75 litre V8 engine from 1970 onwards, mated to a Turbo Hydromantic 400 transmission supplied by General Motors. The superb ride quality achieved in the Shadow was thanks to the innovative high-pressure hydraulic system with dual circuit braking and hydraulic self-levelling suspension.Originally supplied to W.J. Bowen & Sons Ltd. by H.A. Fox on 12th March 1976 at a cost of £18,235.22 this Silver Shadow I has been well cared for throughout its 46 years on the road. The Regency Bronze coachwork is the original colour and the invoice from H.A. Fox confirms the interior colour to be Beige leather. The optional extras at the time were, fire extinguisher, badge bar, a black Everflex roof and motifs to each door. The car was subsequently sold to Dr. T.C. Mayer on 1st September 1982, he kept the car for many years, with it bearing his registration number of TCM 1. When Dr. Mayer decided to stop driving the car, it changed hands to its third registered keeper in 2018. The original book pack and handbooks are with the car, along with spare keys. A good collection of invoices accompanies the history folder along with previous MoT test certificates going back to 1982. The car was cared for by Silver Lady for many years. These iconic Rolls-Royce's are delightful to look at and even better to drive. This example, still in its original colour combination and low ownership is sure to appeal to Rolls-Royce aficionados. Offered at no reserve, insurable on a classic policy and now inexpensive to run, there is no real reason not to use this on a daily basis.Guide £9,000-£12,000
