1959 Rover P4 75 Mk. II Transmission: manualMileage:24636Announced by Managing Director Spencer Wilks on 23 September 1949 the new Rover 75 was first displayed at the opening day of the Earls Court Motor Show on 28 September 1949. It featured unusual modern styling in stark contrast with the outdated Rover 75 (P3) it replaced. Gone were the traditional radiator, separate headlights and external running boards. In their place were a chromium plated grille, recessed headlights and a streamlined body the whole width of the chassis. The car's styling was derived from the then controversial 1947 Studebakers. The cars had a separate chassis with independent suspension using coil springs at the front and a live axle with half-elliptical leaf springs at the rear. The brakes on early cars were operated by a hybrid hydro-mechanical system but became fully hydraulic in 1950. Girling disc brakes replaced drums at the front from October 1959. Power came from a more powerful version of the previous model's 210 cc Rover IOE straight-6 engine now with chromium-plated cylinder bores, an aluminium cylinder head with built-in induction manifold and a pair of horizontal instead of downdraught carburettors. A four-speed manual transmission was used with a column-mounted gear lever which was replaced by a floor-mounted mechanism in September 1953. Dubbed as the poor man’s Rolls-Royce by the contemporary press, it was progressively restyled and remained in production until 1959.This Mk. II Rover P4 was originally purchased in Essex where it remained until 2018. In 2004 the car was placed into storage until 2012 when it was recommissioned and given an MoT. Between coming out of storage and being sold in 2018 the car was repainted. It was purchased by a specialist film and television vehicle hire company to be used as one of the principal villain’s cars in the DC Comics series ‘Pennyworth’. Before going on set the car was fully checked through, new tyres fitted and the front seat retrimmed. Finished in black with red interior, this Rover P4 is supplied with a UK V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in November 2021 and a file containing the old buff log book, old MoT test certificates up to 2003 and some invoices. It has been reported by the owner’s mechanic that it runs and drives very well as you would except from a car used in films and television where reliability is paramount.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction. Buyers are advised to inspect the vehicle in person or use a professional to carry out this service. Historics will not entertain disputes over descriptions.
1964 Triumph 5TA Transmission: manualMileage:18962The Speed Twin 5T was made by Triumph at their Coventry and, later, Meriden factories. Edward Turner, Triumph’s Chief Designer and Managing Director, launched the Triumph Speed Twin at the 1937 National Motorcycle Show. It was a 500cc OHV vertical twin in a lightweight frame and the first truly successful British parallel twin, setting the standard for many twins to follow. After World War II the Speed Twin was responsible for the survival of Triumph and every major British marque offered a 500cc twin designed on similar lines to the Speed Twin. Further development led to the 1959 model 5TA with a unit engine and gearbox construction and styling changes including the unpopular 'Bathtub' fairing which became more and more abbreviated as the model developed before disappearing altogether for the last year of production in 1966.Benefitting recently from fresh paintwork, this fine example is presented in the superb colour combination of light green and silver tank which perfectly complement this Triumph's image. Over recent years this 500cc 5TA has had a full rebuild and is described as in good running order; however, some fine fettling still may be required to improve its reliability on the road having not had much use since completion including the clutch benefitting from minor attention and a small oil leak from the rear pushrod covers. We are informed the engine and the gear box perform well and it is described as a generally well sorted example. Whilst rebuilt as a 5TA this Triumph has had panels replaced and an alternative seat fitted to move it away from the original bathtub rear; however, as a number matching example, at the heart of it, it still retains its originality whilst being tastefully altered. Offered with the UK V5C registration document and presented today as a fine-looking Triumph, this is a very usable classic that would be great for ride-outs in the summer!Guide Price £5,000 - £7,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2011 Land Rover Defender 90 Hardtop Transmission: manualMileage:98724The Land Rover Defender was launched in 1948 and, incredibly, production only finished in January 2016 after a continuous run of 67 years. Outwardly, there is little to distinguish the post-1983 vehicles from the Series III Land Rover. A full-length bonnet, revised grille, plus the fitting of wheel arch extensions to cover wider-track axles are the most noticeable changes. Internally, coil springs offered a more comfortable ride and a permanent four-wheel drive system derived from the Range Rover featuring a two-speed transfer gearbox with a lockable centre differential. A modernised interior and a new series of progressively more powerful and modern engine characterised things under the skin.This handsome and practical hardtop version of the iconic four-wheel drive utility vehicle is fitted an impressive list of equipment. This includes front and rear lamp guards, a ‘snorkel’ air intake, a roof rack, a multi-height towbar and side steps. This iconic Land Rover presents well in grey metallic and has been trimmed with diamond stitched leather to the seats and cubby box lid. The look is enhanced with black alloy wheels and black chequer plating to the bonnet and sides of the car. The practicality of this Land Rover is increased with the fitting of rear inward facing benches. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate, this is a great opportunity to purchase a piece of automotive history.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1978 Triumph Stag Transmission: automaticMileage:84772Launched in 1970, the Triumph Stag was a luxury grand tourer. Envisioned as a luxury sports car, it was designed to compete directly with the Mercedes-Benz SL class models. All Stags were four-seater convertible coupés but for structural rigidity and to meet new American rollover standards at the time, the Stag required a B-pillar 'roll bar' hoop connected to the windscreen frame by a T-bar. A new 2.5 litre, V8 designed and developed by Triumph's Harry Webster was later enlarged to 2,997cc. Most Stags were fitted with a Borg Warner automatic gearbox although manual gearboxes with overdrive were available. Electric windows, power steering and power-assisted brakes were fitted as standard.This well-prepared example was registered new on 20th April 1978 and is presented in good order throughout having recently been treated to various maintenance work. Offered in Old English White over a contrasting interior, this Stag is reported to drive well and sounds fantastic when on song. Complete with various sundry invoices and the UK registration document, this well-priced and handsome Triumph Stag, with automatic gearbox, will carry you elegantly through the summer.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1980 Mitsubishi Sapporo Transmission: Mileage:71037The 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 unblemished and the beige velour interior is also in very good order showing no real signs of wear. We are advised she drives faultlessly and is supplied with a V5C registration document, a full years MoT test certificate, service books and manual, together with a substantial history folder. These cars are rare and highly sought-after. Mitsibushi Sapporo’s in this condition are virtually unheard of.Guide price £6,000-£8,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1984 Alfa Romeo Alfasud Transmission: manualMileage:64420When it went on sale in 1972, after first being launched the previous year at the Turin Motor Show, the Alfasud rewrote the book. Given that Alfa Romeo had no experience of small front-wheel drive cars, the sheer dynamic excellence of the flat-four powered Sud came as a shock, leaving the opposition grasping at straws in order to catch up. In 1976, Alfa Romeo trumped the standard Sud by reworking it into a gorgeous hatchback and the results were predictably fantastic. Styling was handled by Giugiaro who, of course, had penned Alfa Romeo's most praised design, the 105 Series and, who at the time was probably the best designer in the world in terms of drawing cars that were simply 'beautiful'. The Sprint, in many people's eyes, eclipsed the already desirable Alfetta GTV.This Alfasud was originally sold by Amersham Motors Ltd on 14th April 1984 and is finished in Avorio (Ivory) with beige velour trim. Starting life as a 1.3 SC example, this Alfa Romeo benefits from a 1.5Ti engine upgrade together with Ti trim alterations. A comprehensive history folder accompanies this pretty five-door hatchback with receipts and MoT test certificates dating back to the point of registration and confirming the mileage of 64,420 to be correct. The original service books together with the handbooks are present. In 2001, with an odometer reading of 62,741, the car was put into storage; she was recommissioned in 2018 with the odometer being 62,982 at the point of the MoT test. Showing no signs of any accident damage or corrosion, this Alfasud appears to have completely original paintwork and is a very sound, solid example. Last serviced by Thorobred Cars in Laleham in February 2021, a complete set of Goodyear tyres were fitted at the same time. This Alfa Romeo Alfasud is supplied with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until 7th February 2021 with no advisories.Guide price £6,000-£8,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1931 Standard Nine Transmission: manualMileage:2989The Standard Motor Company was founded on 2nd March 1903 by R. W. Maudslay. He was a civil engineer by profession but realised the enormous potential of the horseless carriage and became a motor manufacturer, establishing a small factory in Coventry. He employed seven people to assemble the first car powered by a single-cylinder engine with three-speed gearbox and shaft drive to the rear wheels. By the end of 1903 three cars had been built and the labour force had been increased to twenty five. The increased labour force produced a car every three weeks during 1904. In 1914 Standard became a public company.This Standard Nine is a charming example of the marque. Originally registered in May 1931 this delightful little car runs and looks well in black. Swing open the ‘suicide’ doors to reveal a newly trimmed red interior. The appearance is enhanced with red spoked wheels with a spare externally mounted to the rear. The Lucas dashboard dials appear original as does the temperature gauge bonnet mascot. This Standard Nine is offered to auction without reserve. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction. Buyers are advised to inspect the vehicle in person or use a professional to carry out this service. Historics will not entertain disputes over descriptions.
1964 Jaguar Mk. II (3.4 litre) Transmission: manualMileage:73383The lineage of the Mk. II can be directly traced back to its predecessor, the 2.4 saloon or Mk. I as it would be retrospectively known in later years. Traditional Jaguar buyers would not feel alienated by the new offering from Coventry as the interior was up to their usual standards with leather and walnut being the order of the day. With 112bhp available, the 2.4 was not overly burdened with pace, so Jaguar's response was to come in the shape of a 3.4 litre version which was launched in 1957. As a result, 120mph was a genuinely achievable pace, necessitating the introduction of disc brakes a year later to keep speeds in check. Rather than introduce a completely brand new car, Jaguar successfully re-designed the car from stem to stern and the Mk. II was born, debuting in 1959. The chunky windscreen pillars of the early car were replaced by slimmer offerings giving a much more airy cabin which both improved the styling and freshened up the design for the new decade.This delightful Jaguar was originally registered on 10th June 1964 and has stood the test of time. A restoration was carried out circa 12 years ago and she still presents very well. The paintwork is in good order and the red interior appears to be largely original with a fine patina. Turn the ignition on, press the starter button and this Mk. II fired into life immediately, the engine runs well with good oil pressure. We are advised by the vendor that she drives well on the open road. These manual gearbox with overdrive cars can certainly be good fun to drive and the 3442cc engine is responsive and offers brisk performance. Sitting proudly on wire wheels and with the Coombes style rear spats this is certainly a handsome Jaguar, these stylish cars of the 60s always attract interest for their looks and performance. Supplied with a V5C registration document this Mk. II 3.4 can certainly be described as an iconic car of the period.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1966 Triumph Spitfire 4 Mk. II Transmission: manualMileage:35166The young Italian stylist, Giovanni Michelotti, was introduced to Standard Triumph by Captain Raymond Flowers; not only because of his ability to style, but to build prototype models also. Several projects were undertaken with the most significant being the prototype bomb that morphed into the Triumph Spitfire in 1962. The Triumph Spitfire 4 Mk. II had a little more power over the earlier, retrospectively named, Mk. I Spitfire sibling; a further, but modest, 4bhp according to factory records. There was also rather more refinement in the interior fittings. With a fully opening front end, servicing was a delight and today, these British sports cars are well catered for by several specialists throughout the UK. This lovely Triumph Spitfire, first registered in the UK during 1966, is presented with white coachwork and contrasting black trim. What sets this car apart from many contemporary examples is its overall condition, especially upon the undersides that, on inspection, look factory fresh with no evidence of repairs and no doubt aided by the wax protection that has been applied. The panel gaps are very good and new bumper brightwork front and rear really sets the car off. On opening the doors, the trim work presents very well, all being in excellent order and very inviting. Mechanically, this Spitfire is in very good condition; the engine starts easily with a little choke and, we are informed, drives well. Importantly, Halogen headlights, as well as five new Firestone tyres, not only aide night driving and handling but are important safety factors also. The car comes with its factory steel hardtop, soft top and frame and a history file that contains the UK V5C registration document and, although exempt, a valid MoT test certificate.These early Mk. I and Mk. II models are quite scarce on the roads these days and, with their Italian designed flare, are considered the purest and prettiest of the range that spanned from 1962 to 1980. The mileage of 35,166 recorded is believed genuine considering the condition of the undersides, including the chassis, and a number of old MoT test certificates on file. With a competitive estimate, this Triumph Spitfire should reward its new owner with many hours of driving fun and ideal timing with the spring and summer nearly upon us.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2003 Porsche 911 / 996 Targa Transmission: manualMileage:107080The 996 is the internal designation for the Porsche 911 model; it was manufactured and sold between 1998 and 2005. On its debut, the 996 featured the most significant changes to the Carrera model since its 1963 introduction, namely the water-cooled engine replacing the previously air-cooled unit. Other changes included a sleeker body with a more steeply raked windshield and a re-designed interior. The performance characteristics remained superb with reliability at its core.Originally registered in April 2003, this 996 Targa presents well in black with a grey interior. The glass Targa roof is superb design, offering, ‘wind in the hair’ motoring at the touch of a button. The specification of this Porsche includes electric front seats, traction control and C.D player. We are informed by the engineer vendor that this well-maintained car is a joy to drive and that the manual transmission is both responsive and engaging. This sleek sportscar has recently benefitted from four new tyres and a £2,658.00 service at R&D Automotive. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until January 2022, this is a splendid example of a highly desirable Porsche.Interested parties should note that the Targa roof on this vehicle is not working.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2006 Caterham SV Roadsport Transmission: manualMileage:5397Caterham Cars is a manufacturer of specialist lightweight sports cars and is a direct evolution of the Series III Lotus Seven designed by Colin Chapman originally launched in 1973. Caterham had been a major Lotus Seven dealer during the 1960's and its founder, Graham Nearn, purchased the rights to continue manufacture of the Seven design after Lotus announced its intention to discontinue the model. The Lotus/Caterham Seven is widely regarded by car enthusiasts and the media as one of the most precise handling sports cars ever, with 2007 marking the 50th year of continuous production. As with its Lotus Seven predecessor, Caterhams are constructed of aluminium sheet attached to a tubular steel chassis and all are front engined with rear-wheel drive and two seats. Their extremely high performance is achieved through being lightweight and well balanced rather than from having particularly powerful engines.Ordered in March 2006 and first registered that June, this beautiful Caterham Seven offers a perfect compromise of performance and practicality. The SV Roadsport sporting the wider chassis makes for a much more comfortable experience, especially on longer journeys. With this in mind the car was specified new not only as an SV, but also with leather adjustable seats, both inertia and 4-point harness seatbelts, a heater, side screen arm rests and a quick release leather steering wheel. Other practical options include a rear roll cage, spare wheel, cigar lighter, starter button, tonneau cover, full weather equipment, five-speed gearbox and unusually, an uprated 1.8 litres X-Power engine with an additional 20 HP pushing power output to 140 HP. The vendor reports that this factory built example drives superbly and is a reluctant sale. The specification of this lovely little Caterham lends itself perfectly to day trips as well as tours and trackdays, performing equally well for each function.Supplied with the car’s original order sheet and factory correspondence, original book pack, a V5C registration document, previous MoT test certificates, many receipts and two keys. This Seven offers huge fun whilst keeping practicality in mind. You would certainly be hard pushed to find a better presented and useable example of this Chapman design classic.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction. Buyers are advised to inspect the vehicle in person or use a professional to carry out this service. Historics will not entertain disputes over descriptions.
1964 MG 1100 Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:40000In 1962, a quite revolutionary new saloon was launched by BMC at the same time as the brand new MGB. Initially wearing the Morris badge, ADO16 was hot from the drawing boards of Alec Issigonis and Pininfarina. Offered in many guises by Innocenti, Morris, Riley, Wolseley, Vanden Plas and Austin, the AD016 was truly universal in its appeal. In line with BMC's policy at the time, Austin badged versions of the ADO16 were built at Longbridge, whilst Morris and MG versions were assembled at Cowley. The original Mk. I models were distinctive for their use of a Hydrolastic suspension. Unlike almost all of its competitors, the AD016 featured front-wheel drive instead of the rear-wheel drive. The Mk. I Austin/Morris 1100 was available, initially, only as a four-door saloon.This little early MG 1100 is in good condition throughout and is presented in the factory colour specification of grey over cream with blue interior trim. Recent works include overhauled carburettors and rubber perishables replaced. Imported from the dry climates of South Africa and recently fully recommissioned, this 1964 example has been UK registered and starts and fires into life with aplomb. Recently benefitting from new carpets and fully overhauled brakes, this MG has a four-speed synchromesh gearbox. Supplied with an MoT test certificate until September 2021, this ground breaking small car is offered without reserve and is a real MG collectors delight.Guide Price £4,000 - £7,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction.

1959 Jaguar Mk. II (3.4 M/OD) Transmission: manualMileage:79938Synonymous with the swinging `60s and the hit TV Series Inspector Morse, the Mk. II was undoubtedly the most admired saloon to emanate from Jaguar's hallowed Browns Lane factory. These cars punched well above their weight. Equipped with either a 3.4 litre or 3.8 engine, the Jaguar was capable of sprinting to 60mph in as little as 8.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 125mph.This lovely 3.4 manual with overdrive example of a Jaguar Mk. II is an, all English, matching numbers example supplied with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate. Originally presented in Pearl Grey with red trim, this car was dispatched to H.A. Browett & Co in Leicester on 20th October 1959 before being registered to its first owner, a Mr. Bieshuvel of Blaby, Leicestershire. Boasting large amounts of expenditure, in 1998 the car was sent to Ridgeway Sportscars who prepared the car for the Monte Carlo challenge, upgrading certain parts of the suspension at a cost of £4,330.93. Found within the comprehensive history file are details of a full bare metal restoration, photographs and a breakdown of costs totalling £23,396.85 and, from 1991 through to 2001 restoration work with A.M. Services totalling £5,407.47 and works at Flowers Jaguar interiors costing £2,905.48.Since 2001, the car changed owners and was again repainted to the owner’s preference of red coachwork. We are informed that, in 2007, an engine rebuild was completed and a 4.2 straight port cylinder head fitted with reworked fancy cams and twin two-inch SU carburettors. A louvered bonnet was fitted and the interior benefitted from new carpets. Having been passed from one Jaguar enthusiast to another which can be found from membership applications, this car is offered with its Jaguar Heritage Production Record Trace Certificate, an original Jaguar sales and service booklet, operating and maintenance service handbook and a UK V5 registration certificate. We certainly recommend viewing of this lovely example of a Jaguar Mk. II boasting performance upgrades.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2004 Maserati 4200 Cambiocorsa Coupé Transmission: automaticMileage:80039The Maserati 4200 is an evolution from the previous model 3200 and also a reference to the increase in engine size from 3.2 to 4.2 litres. The Spyder was first unveiled to the public at the 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show with the Coupé's debut following shortly after at the 2002 Detroit Motor Show. Both cars were designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign and were a true four-seater capable of comfortably seating two adults in the back. The naturally aspirated V8 engine was based on a Ferrari unit producing 385hp at 7000rpm; the gearbox is a six-speed unit that was available either as a GT (manual) or CC (Cambiocorsa) using paddle shifters. The Cambiocorsa ('race change' in Italian) is an electro-hydraulic manual transmission that uses a Formula 1 type gearbox with hydraulic operation and electronic management operated by F1-style paddles behind the steering wheel. The gearbox is located at the back of the car with the rear differential giving equal weight distribution between the front and rear of the car and providing better road holding.This stunning example presents extremely well in gleaming black paintwork with a black leather interior. The look is enhanced with grey alloy wheels and red brake calipers. When requested the V8 engine roared into life and we are told the car is a pleasure to drive. The tremendous condition of the car is complemented by a good service history with the majority of the works being completed by either Maserati franchised garages or marque specialists. The most recent service was completed 1,100 miles ago and this Italian thoroughbred has also benefitted from a new clutch. Offered to auction with two sets of keys, a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until 25th November 2021, this extremely reasonably priced Maserati should generate much interest.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale. Accordingly, buyers are on notice that each vehicle is offered ‘as is/as seen’ subject to the Terms and Conditions for the auction. Buyers are advised to inspect the vehicle in person or use a professional to carry out this service. Historics will not entertain disputes over descriptions.
1968 Mini Cooper S Mk. I (1275cc) Transmission: manualMileage:3827The notion that the Mini might have a future as anything other than basic transport was an anathema; the idea of a high-performance version was laughable. One man though, saw it quite differently. Racing car manufacturer John Cooper already knew quite a bit about tuning BMC's A-Series engine, he was running the company's Formula Junior effort at the time and a test drive in a prototype Mini convinced him of the car's competition potential. The Mini Cooper soon established its credentials as a rally and race winner and the stage was set for even faster versions. The first of these, the 1071cc Mini Cooper 'S' of 1963, took engine development a stage further and provided the basis for the 971 'S' and 1275 'S' of 1964.Originally registered on 29th January 1968, this delightful Mini is finished in the great colour combination of Old English White with a black roof and the traditional grey/red interior. This Cooper S is in very good order showing no signs of corrosion. Invoices totalling over £20,000 worth of restoration work confirm this is a car that has been lovingly cherished. Lift the carpets and the floors are very solid, open the boot and she is nice and neat and tidy. Start the engine on this Mini and there are no adverse noises, rattles or smoke, she runs very well. Out on the road, this genuine UK right hand drive Mini Cooper S drives exactly as she should, with brisk performance and excellent road holding. Supplied with a V5C registration document together with a Heritage Certificate, 20 previous MoT’s and a host of invoices.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1961 Triumph TR4 Transmission: manualMileage:76185Produced between 1961 and 1967, the TR4 combined a new, modern and aggressive body design by famed Italian stylist, Giovanni Michelotti with the basic chassis of the previous TR3A. The TR4 also improved passenger comfort with wind-up windows, face-level ventilation and an optional hardtop. The 2138cc engine of the late production TR3A continued while the 1991cc engine was also made available to buyers who wanted to participate in two litre racing. When equipped with the optional overdrive, the TR4 was good for a top speed of almost 110mph. Today, the four-cylinder TR's are among the easiest of post-war classic sports cars to own and maintain being supported by a multitude of component suppliers and other specialists.This TR4 was one of the many exported to the US and was repatriated to the UK in 2016. Clearly she has benefitted from time and investment as this example presents in good order and is in the lovely colour combination of red with black interior. Still in left hand drive guise, this Triumph sits proudly on Minilite wheels. We are advised she drives well with no known faults.

1995 Porsche 911 / 993 Carrera Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:94795The Porsche 993 was introduced in 1993 as a replacement for the 964 generation of the iconic 911 models and was built until 1998. Regarded by many as the best generation of 911's ever produced from Stuttgart, this car was the last to use the air-cooled flat six engine that had powered 911's for the previous thirty years. It was offered in a number of guises and specifications during its production life including two and four-wheel drive, known as Carrera and Carrera 4 respectively.This stunning example was first registered on 1st August 1995 and it is presented in excellent metallic Polar Silver with classic grey leather interior which has recently been renewed and thus unmarked.

2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S Transmission: manualMileage:12250 The 996 model of the 911 Porsche was replaced by the 997 in 2005. The new model shares less than a third of its parts with the outgoing 996 but is technically similar to it. At the launch two versions were introduced. They were the Carrera and the more powerful and better equipped Carrera S. This was the first time since 1977 that the 911 was offered in two power versions. The specification differences included larger and more powerful brakes with red calipers, lowered suspension featuring the ‘Porsche Active Suspension Management’ system, Xenon headlights and a sports steering wheel.Originally registered on 1st June 2005, the smooth lines of this elegant looking Carrera S are accentuated by stunning black metallic paint and a matching black leather interior. We are informed by the vendor that this Porsche is a joy to drive.

1966 Austin Mini Cooper Mk. I (998cc) Transmission: manualMileage:6179These fabulous and popular little cars were designed in 1959 and were heralded as a new concept in car design. Little did they know or envisage what would become of these great models. With a monocoque shell, transversely mounted engine and front wheel drive, the new 'Mini' soon became popular across the world and to all types of individual well healed or not! The potential for competition use was soon seen by John Cooper; he eventually persuaded BMC and the two worked together culminating in the birth of the Austin Mini Cooper and the Morris Mini Cooper in 1961. Victories in the 1964, 1965 and 1967 Monte Carlo Rallies set the Mini on the road to fame but probably the greatest publicity was gained from the, somewhat unfair, disqualification for lighting irregularities in the 1966 event after coming in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. A more powerful Mini Cooper, dubbed the 'S', was developed in tandem and released in 1963.This lovely example of this British classic is presented in Island Blue with an Old English White roof and was recently the subject to some extensive works to the body by Old School Mini. The very nice interior is finished in period correct Cumulous Grey with Gold Brocade and the wheels have just been refurbished with new tyres fitted all round. Its 998cc engine was modified in 2018 using a 1100 crankshaft and it is supplied with its Heritage Certificate confirming the colour, engine and chassis numbers.

1998 BMW Z3M Transmission: manualMileage:111570The Z3 was the first modern mass-market roadster produced by BMW, as well as the first new BMW model to be assembled in the United States. It was introduced as a 1996 model year vehicle, shortly after being featured in the James Bond movie 'Goldeneye'. While the film was number one at the box office, sales of the car peaked and it was sold out by the time the car was launched. Along with the styling cues, BMW’s Motorsports division took the Z3M and shoehorned in the performance version of the most beloved six-cylinder engines in the auto industry from the BMW E36 M3, upping the power to 321bhp!!This example is finished in Estoril Blue metallic with blue and black leather sports seats and a blue hood. The car comes with its factory hardtop, heated seats, electric windows and electric door mirrors. It also has remote door locking facility, wind deflectors and a roof cover. Its powerful 3.2 litre six-cylinder engine is mated to a five-speed gearbox and all the alloys wheels are in good condition as is the car throughout. The ‘M’ series of this model is highly sought after and as this is a convertible, this makes it even more desirable.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1967 Lotus Elan S3 Fixedhead Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:18004Introduced in 1962, the Elan featured a simple but effective steel backbone frame and all-independent wishbone suspension which used a modified Chapman Strut, as developed in Lotus Grand Prix cars, at the rear. Rack and pinion steering was sourced from the Triumph Vitesse and there were Girling disc brakes all round. The Elan's engine was a highly modified 1498cc (later 1558cc) Ford Cortina unit incorporating Lotus's own twin camshaft cylinder head and both the gearbox and differential came, likewise, from Ford. Introduced in November 1964, the S2 featured numerous detail styling changes and improved brakes. As one would expect given its background and specification, the Elan proved to be a highly capable circuit racer and, capitalising on the numerous successes achieved by privately entered cars, Lotus introduced their own version, the '26R', in 1964.This rare Lotus Elan S3 is finished in bright Daffodil Yellow with contrasting black trim interior. The car was registered new on 21st April 1967 and the registration document shows only six owners from 1977. The car has been fully rebuilt from the ground up over the last 18 years, including a new Spyder chassis which has just been finished and recommissioned in January 2021 at a cost of £5,539, along with a full body off respray taken back to gel coat and all new front suspension, brake discs, engine flywheel and complete clutch assembly. This Elan has only done 38 miles since the rebuild and all details of the extensive work that has been carried out can be seen in the history file.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1966 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagoda Transmission: manualMileage:6305Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in March of 1963, the 230 SL was a very different car to its predecessors. Intended as the replacement for the 190 SL, the 230 SL abandoned the four-cylinder engine in favour of a 2.3 litre fuel-injected six cylinder engine, producing 150bhp. The new engine was derived from that of the great 220 SE. The Paul Bracq penned body was an all new, stylish design which became an instant classic. Beneath the skin, the running gear was conventional Mercedes-Benz, featuring independent suspension, disc brakes on the front and rear drums. Top speed was in excess of 120mph. Soon after the 230 SL was announced, Eugen Bohringer drove one to victory in the Spa-Sofia-Liège Rally and, although competition outings are rare, this was the sort of debut one would expect from the Stuttgart factory. These SL models were amongst the most-loved sports-tourers of their day and continue to be highly sought after by collectors.This fabulous 230 SL is finished in the striking colour combination of Signal Red with black interior and with a black hardtop. Subject to a huge restoration programme, this Mercedes-Benz presents in remarkable condition and must surely be one of the best available on the market today. The quality of the restoration work needs to be viewed in person to appreciate the workmanship. We are advised she drives as good as she looks, the 2.3 litre engine is mated to a manual gearbox. Now UK registered and supplied with a V5C registration document this Mercedes-Benz is in left hand guise;this is an opportunity to purchase one of the best Pagoda’s we have seen.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1963 Ford Lotus Cortina Mk. I Transmission: manualMileage:31684In 1961, Colin Chapman was commissioned by Harry Mundy to design a twin-cam version of the Ford Kent engine and its first appearance was at the Nürburgring in a Lotus 23 driven by Jim Clark. Soon after, the engine appeared in the Lotus Elan. During the engine's development, Walter Hayes at Ford asked Colin Chapman to fit the twin-cam into 1,000 Ford saloons for Group 2 racing homologation. Chapman accepted the contract and the type 28, or Lotus Cortina as it became known, was born. Whilst Ford supplied the two-door body shells and took care of the marketing, Lotus engineered the mechanical and cosmetic changes which included the 1558cc engine along with the Elan's close-ratio gearbox, front quarter bumpers and Lotus badges. They also made changes to the interior with a new centre console to accommodate the revised gear lever position, different seats and a later styled dashboard that incorporated a tachometer, odometer, oil pressure, water temperature and fuel gauges. A wood rimmed steering wheel was the finishing touch.This magnificent Lotus Cortina was first registered on 17th June 1963 and was originally manufactured in the Lotus colours of white with a green stripe. Having been restored to a superb standard, the body colour was changed to the Alan Mann racing colours of red with a gold stripe in September 2001. With excellent door gaps and panels that are extremely straight with no rippling the quality of the restoration of this Ford is clear to see. The twin cam Lotus engine runs well with good oil pressure and the gear changes smooth. We are advised on the open road this Lotus Cortina drives well and creates a host of admiring glances. Supplied with a V5C registration document, a full years MoT test certificate and a huge history file together with a number of spare parts. Alongside the detailed ownership history, this is a very desirable and well-maintained example and is a great opportunity to own one of these highly sought-after and collectable classics.

1959 Sunbeam Rapier Competition Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:94697The Sunbeam Rapier Series II was announced on 6th February 1958, available in hardtop and convertible formats. Rootes arranged for nine of the new cars to be in Monte Carlo for the press to try at the end of the 1958 Monte Carlo Rally. An improvement in the Series II was its more powerful engine, referred to as the Rallymaster, which had an increased capacity of 1,494 cc combined with a higher compression ratio and larger inlet and exhaust valves to raise the power to 73 bhp. Autocar quoted the top speed as 91 mph with a 0-60 mph time of 20.2 seconds. As a direct result of competition experience, the Series II was also fitted with larger front brakes and a recirculating ball steering box instead of the worm and nut box of the Series I. When new, the Sunbeam Rapier posted notable rallying results, supported by the Rootes Competition Department. And, more than half a century later, Rapiers are still notching up successful results in the ever-popular classic rallying movement.This 1959 Rapier Coupé was fully restored in 2019 and, with notable success from being an eight-time Historic Monte Carlo Rally finisher, offers a cost-effective route into historic rallying indeed having recently completed Hero Challenge rallies, including on and off-road tests, with the vendor reporting that it performed superbly. We are informed the bodywork with its cream and turquoise paint is in very good order as is the running gear. The interior is also in fine order; likewise the under-bonnet area with what is described by the vendor as an excellent electrical system, and the engine which starts and runs well. In preparation for recent events the vendor has added two new spare tyres, battery cover, covered the internal brake bias and added rear seats for regularity and installed a compliant Brantz trip meter. Supplied with a very good history file (complete with older FIA papers) this Rapier is ready to continue its rallying career and hopefully bag the new owner a few more trophies in the process - fabulous value indeed and in the right hands, this is a very capable car.

1972 Jaguar E-Type Series III Roadster Transmission: manualMileage:30027In March 2008, the Jaguar E-Type ranked first in the Daily Telegraph's list of the '100 most beautiful cars' of all time. It was initially designed and shown to the public as a grand tourer in two-seater coupé form and as convertible. The model was made in three distinct versions which are now generally referred to as 'Series I', 'Series II' and 'Series III'. The 3.8 litre engine was increased to 4.2 litres in October 1964 with a new 5.3 Litre, 12-cylinder Jaguar V12 engine then introduced with up rated brakes and power steering as standard for the series III. The short wheelbase fixedhead coupé body style was discontinued and the V12 was available only as a convertible and 2+2 coupé. The convertible used the longer wheelbase 2+2 floorplan. By far the most comfortable and most accomplished of the range, these Series III's were purpose built for long distances and certainly looked the part as well.This delightful genuine UK supplied right hand drive E-Type was originally registered in March 1972 and presents in outstanding condition. The paintwork was refreshed to a high standard in 2015 and the car has been lovingly cared for from a mechanical point of view. The vendor is a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic collector with a garage of eight high quality motor vehicles. Finished in primrose yellow with black leather interior, the condition of the car is certainly commensurate with such a low mileage. This car sits proudly on wire wheels and is fitted with the desirable manual gearbox. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a history folder, this is a wonderful example of the classically dynamic design and it still is a head turner today.

1968 Sunbeam Stiletto Transmission: manualMileage:9000The Stiletto is the sporty version of the Imp, the Rootes Group's innovative small car devised to take on the Mini. The new small saloon was launched in 1963 and built at a brand new factory at Linwood, Scotland. It was co-designed by Michael Parkes, a development engineer for Ferrari, and one of its most notable features was the all-aluminium, high-revving overhead camshaft engine mounted at the rear, based on the lightweight Coventry Climax racing engine. The Imp also boasted all-independent suspension, plus access to the luggage tray behind the rear seats via the opening rear window, a very early hatchback. An improved Mk. II version appeared in 1966, which did away with such oddities as the pneumatic throttle control. Sharp rack and pinion steering makes these true driver's cars, with a sprightly turn of speed thanks to a light weight of just 1560lbs. The Stiletto, introduced in 1967, is distinguished from its lesser brethren by a sloping coupé rear roofline (on these the rear window doesn't open) and quad headlights, while it used the Imp Sport engine, producing 55bhp at 6100rpm and giving 90mph and 0-50mph in just over ten seconds. About 8,900 were made.This slightly modified example is presented in blue with black interior. It is fitted with a UNI gearbox which is the same as the one fitted to the Lotus Esprit. The engine is a Rover K Series producing about 120bhp, with fast road cams, forged pistons and has a modified flywheel. It is fitted with Cobra bucket seats, Momo steering wheel and custom-made wheels. The car is tax and MoT exempt and currently SORN. The car comes with some old receipts and MoT test certificates and instructions for parts including the gearbox. A rare coupé which were often campaigned in Hill Climbing in the early 1970s.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1935 Rolls-Royce 20/25 by Hooper Transmission: manualMileage:19929By the late 1920s the trend for ever-heavier coachwork on the Rolls-Royce 20hp had inevitably had a detrimental effect on performance. Rolls-Royce’s solution was to increase the comparatively small six-cylinder engine’s capacity from just over three litres to 3,699cc which, together with a stronger crankshaft allowing increased rpm, raised its output to 25hp. Over the past eight decades the 20/25hp Rolls-Royce has earned an enviable reputation of being among the most dependable, satisfying and highest quality pre-war models of all. Produced from 1929 to 1935, it represented the marque’s determined effort to move away from massive formal cars, routinely chauffeur-driven, to the newly fashionable owner-driver market for the wealthy private owner-driver. Various detail improvements were made to the 20/25 during its seven year production life including rises in compression ratio in 1930 and 1932; the latter year also saw the introduction of synchromesh for the third and fourth gear ratios, thermostatically controlled radiator grille shutters, a one-shot centralised lubrication system and an electric fuel gauge.This impressive Rolls-Royce was purchased and owned by Robert Jack Dunlop of Thomas Dunlop & Sons who were a Scottish shipping company and grain merchant and he was the son of Sir Thomas Dunlop. The car, for a considerable portion of its life was on his Scottish Estate of Barkskimming. The 20/25 offered here is presented in black with maroon over a maroon leather interior. This impressive looking Rolls-Royce with a body by one of the most famous coachwork companies of that era, Hooper has benefitted from both a respray and mechanical work in the last three years which includes work to the 4300cc engine fitted to this example ( work to which has been recently finished resulting in it running extremely well according to the owner) The interior is also in good condition with a lovely patina to the upholstery. Offered with a history file containing various invoices and a V5C registration document, this MoT test exempt car is a wonderful example of a vintage Rolls-Royce. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1982 Mercedes-Benz 280 TE Estate ‘Seven Seat’ Transmission: automaticMileage:Mercedes-Benz introduced the W123 four-door versions in January 1976 and, while there were some technical similarities to their predecessors, the new models were larger in wheelbase and exterior dimensions. The styling was also updated, although stylistic links with the W115 were maintained. In September 1982, all models received a mild facelift which included the rectangular headlights, previously only fitted to the 280/280E which were standardised across the board as was power steering. Since February 1982, an optional five-speed manual transmission was available in all models. Optional extras included MB-Tex upholstery, velour or leather upholstery, interior wood trim, passenger side exterior mirror, five-speed manual gearbox, four-speed automatic gearbox, electric windows, central locking, sunroof, air conditioning, climate control, Alpine horn, headlamp wipers, cruise control, power steering and heated seats.This lovely 280 TE Estate was registered on 17th November 1982. Presented in green with beige interior, this car adorns the family crest, on the front doors, of one of its former owners, Lord Hanson. One can just imagine his Lordship putting together a large deal using his 280 TE’s in-car telephone! An incredibly practical and relatively understated car for such a flamboyant character, this seven-seater, well equipped model no doubt served him faultlessly. Supplied with a service book and various handbooks, a UK V5C registration document and various sundry invoices. These fabulous family workhorses have a strong following and to find one with relatively low mileage and with such famous ownership is hard to match.

2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder Transmission: paddleMileage:18657Manufactured from 2003 to 2013 the Lamborghini Gallardo is important in the history of the Sant Agata firm as it represents the most successful model in their history. Both eminently usable and importantly, reliable, the V10 sportscar had total Audi backup which made it hugely desirable and subsequently, the most successful sportscar built from this particular Carrozzeria. Its secret lies in its light but stiff space frame chassis mounted to a five litre, V10 engine powering all four wheels on demand. Offered with two choices of transmission; a conventional six-speed manual transmission and an advanced six-speed electro-hydraulically controlled, semi-automatic which Lamborghini abbreviates to 'E-gear'. This allows the driver to make gear changes much faster than they could with a manual gearbox.This fastidiously maintained 2008, low mileage, right hand drive low ratio 'E-gear' car is offered in near faultless Grigio Lynx with Nero black leather trim. Well optioned from new with the Lamborghini branding package, it also features front nose lifting system, unicolour sportive interior, leather package 1, heated seats, heated wing mirrors, Bluetooth, anti-theft system, satellite navigation and a rear-view camera. Originally supplied by Lamborghini London, this Gallardo was first registered on 1st March 2008 and has benefited ever since from full main Lamborghini dealer service history; the last service being a comprehensive one with less than a thousand miles covered subsequently. The car looks and sounds as spectacular as any Lamborghini should with the performance to match and the vendor reports it to be just as incredible to drive as you would imagine.Supplied with a fully stamped service history, original book pack, a V5C registration document, previous MoT test certificates, many receipts and two keys. The condition of the car speaks for itself; it has wanted for nothing and looks incredibly handsome in Grigio Lynx. A true supercar and with a price tag of over £135,000 when new, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a properly maintained example. It would indeed be difficult to find a Gallardo in better condition.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1972 Morris Mini 850 owned by World Champion Boxer ’Prince' Naseem Hamed Transmission: manualMileage:31500 Fully restored exampleOffered with a new MoT test certificateOwned by former World Champion Boxer ’Prince' Naseem Hamed The history of this revolutionary motorcar is well known and its impact socially, culturally and mechanically is well documented. The Swinging Sixties, The Beatles, Twiggy and the Mini are inexorably combined to represent an era that is remembered with great fondness by many people. The production version of the Mini was demonstrated to the press in April 1959 and by August several thousand cars had been produced ready for the first sales. The Mini was officially announced to the public on 26th August 1959. The first example, a Morris Mini-Minor with the registration 621 AOK, is on display at the Heritage Motor Centre in Warwickshire. Another early example from 1959 is on display at the National Motor Museum in Hampshire. International Hall of Fame boxer ‘Prince’ Naseem Hamed competed from 1992 to 2002 and is ranked as the third best British featherweight boxer of all time by BoxRec. He held multiple world championships at featherweight, including the WBO title from 1995 to 2000, the IBF title in 1997, and the WBC title from 1999 to 2000. He also reigned as lineal champion from 1998 to 2001, IBO champion from 2002 to 2003, and held the European bantamweight title from 1994 to 1995. Hamed was known for his unconventional boxing antics and spectacular ring entrances which included entering the ring on a flying carpet, a lift and a palanquin, as well as re-enacting the video of Michael Jackson's Thriller, and wearing a Halloween mask. He was also known for his front somersault over the top rope into the ring, his highly athletic and hard-hitting southpaw boxing style, and formidable one-punch knockout power; having finished his career with a knockout-to-win ratio of 84% winning 31 by knockout, 5 by decision and just 1 loss. This delightful and fully restored Morris Mini 850 is a rare automatic example. Presented in Teal Blue with a Snowberry White roof and retrimmed interior, this example boasts an upgraded period radio. Described as a full nut and bolt restored example, the car was purchased from an owner who had, in his spare time, restored the car over many years. Receipts for parts and the full respray can be found in the history file accompanied by a British Mini Club valuation certificate dated 6th April 2017 with a value of £7500, original service book, handbooks and MoT test certificates. Offered with an MoT test certificate valid until February 2022, this is an ideal opportunity to own a fabulous British motoring icon owned by a famous British sporting icon.

1963 Daimler SP250 ‘B’ Specification Transmission: manualMileage:82225The controversially styled Daimler Dart was introduced at the New York Motor Show in 1959 and had its European debut at the 1959 Earls Court Motor Show; the Dart name was soon dropped after the threat of legal action from Chrysler who had a car of that name within their Dodge division. Thereafter this new sports car was known as the Daimler SP250. Power was provided by the 2.5 litre, Edward Turner designed, V8 that soon became revered for the smoothness in its power delivery with 140bhp on tap. Independent double wishbone front suspension at the front and half elliptical springs at the rear with a live rear axle kept the car on the road with stopping power supplied by hydraulic disc brakes on all four corners. The coachwork was constructed with glass reinforced plastic providing a tough, strong and lightweight shape that enhanced performance with exciting and non-traditional looks. The 120mph plus capability was recognised by the police and they were soon being used as high-speed chase cars.This very good Daimler SP250 ‘B’ Specification was first registered on Valentine’s day 1963 and was restored in the 1980’s. In the late 1980’s, after the restoration, it was purchased by Mr. John Hill who kept the car for 18 years before selling it to the current owner in 2007. Over the next few years, the car has had various specialist work carried out, mostly by John Kemply historic sports and race car specialists of Sussex. This work included a full engine rebuild which involved it been fully balanced and using original ‘old stock’ Hepworth pistons and crankshaft, the gearbox fully rebuilt and fitting a diaphragm clutch with a thrust bearing conversion, Spax shock absorbers with replacement rear springs, a fast flow radiator and additional electric fan, a complete stainless steel exhaust system, electronic ignition, a new fuel tank with integral reserve fuel solenoid, Coopercraft front brake calipers and brake discs and new tyres. Finished in red with black interior, this SP250 is supplied with the complete original front bumper, a V5 registration document and a file containing invoices for the work carried out over recent years. The MoT history shows that this car has covered less than 10,000 miles whilst in the current owner’s possession. This car comes from a private collection of a discerning collector and enthusiast, which can be seen in the care taken with this car. This is a great opportunity to own a rare ‘B’ Specification SP250 which is very usable and appreciating car.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2006 Ferrari F430 Spider Transmission: manualMileage:15559The Ferrari F430 was produced by Ferrari from 2004 to 2009. A successor to the Ferrari 360, it debuted at the 2004 Paris Motor Show. Designed by Pininfarina, under the guidance of Frank Stephenson, the body styling of the F430 was revised from its predecessor, the Ferrari 360, to improve its aerodynamic efficiency. Although the drag coefficient remained the same, downforce was greatly enhanced. Despite sharing the same basic Alcoa aluminium chassis, roof line, doors and glass, the car looked significantly different from the 360. A great deal of Ferrari heritage was included in the exterior design. At the rear, the Enzo's taillights and interior vents were added and the car's name was etched into the Testarossa-styled driver's side mirror. The large oval openings in the front bumper were reminiscent of Ferrari racing models from the 60s, specifically the 156 ‘sharknose’ Formula One car and 250 TR61 Le Mans cars of Phil Hill.Originally registered on 4th December 2006, this beautiful Ferrari Spider has covered a mere 15,559 miles from new and as such presents in excellent order throughout. The Nero Daytona coachwork has a deep rich shine to the finish which is complemented by the Crema leather interior with black contrast stitching and includes heated seats. This F430 has been owned by a Ferrari enthusiast who has maintained the car well with every service expressly being carried out by Ferrari main dealers, nine in total, with the last service which we are informed was a major service, in October 2020. The specification includes five spoke Stealth alloy wheels, red brake calipers as well as Scuderia Ferrari Shields. Supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate valid until January 2022, the original leather wallet containing the service history with invoices and spare key, this right hand drive UK supplied Ferrari F430 Spider is a very collectable example.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1991 Range Rover CSK Transmission: manualMileage:158,438The limited edition Range Rover CSK is named after Charles Spencer King, the man who designed the original two-door Range Rover over 20 years ago. The CSK was intended primarily to publicise the new anti-roll suspension and was promoted as a sportier Range Rover but most elements of its specification were drawn from the four-door Vogue SE or from US-market models. Each car has an individually numbered plaque on the radio panel confirming its exclusivity, discreetly bearing his insignia and, in 1990, would set you back £28,995 for the manual or £30,319.32 for the automatic. The CSK features a number of modifications improving both performance and passenger comfort and became the fastest production Range Rover ever built at that time with the proven and re-chipped version of the 3.9 litre, V8 engine developing 185bhp. The increase in performance was complemented by improved handling at high speeds with the introduction of front and rear anti-roll bars and sports dampers to give a smoother, more comfortable ride. Standard equipment includes a six-speaker security coded stereo system, air-conditioning, central locking and electrically operated tilt/slide sunroof, electric windows and heated door mirrors. Also, standard is one of the world's most advanced four-wheel drive ABS braking system which prevents wheel-lock in the worst conditions on any combination of surfaces.This CSK is number 181 of 200 examples manufactured. An extensive restoration was carried out between 2012 and 2018, this was a ‘body off’ restoration giving clear and encumbered access to the chassis. The restoration cost was an eye-watering £113,000,this gives an indication to the extensiveness of work carried out and more importantly the quality of the work. Described as being in ‘great running order’ and sitting proudly on a relatively new set of Michelin tyres, this limited edition and highly sought-after Range Rover comes with a V5C registration document and the restoration invoices Interested parties should note that this vehicle developed a fault with the transfer box on the way here. This will be repaired at the vendors expense and the vehicle delivered to the new owner free of charge (within reason).Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1979 Ford Escort Mk. II RS2000 Custom Transmission: manualMileage:97688The squarer-styled Escort Mk. II version appeared in January 1975 with the first models having rolled off the production lines on 2nd December 1974. Unlike the first Escort (which was developed by Ford of Britain), the second generation was developed jointly between the UK and Ford of Germany. Codenamed ‘Brenda’ during its development, it had the same mechanical configuration as the Mk. I Escort. The estate and van versions used the same panel work as the Mk. I but with the Mk. II front end and interior. The car used a revised underbody which had in fact been introduced as a running change during the last six months of the life of the Mk. I. The car was a success with just four body styles by competing in many different market niches where rival manufacturers had multiple models. The ‘L’ and ‘GL’ models were in the mainstream purchased by the private sector, the ‘Sport’, ‘RS Mexico’ and ‘RS2000’ in the performance market; the ‘Ghia’ for an untapped small car luxury sector and ‘base’ models for the fleet market. During the second half of the 1970s, the Escort continued to prove hugely popular with buyers in Britain. Production, after an incredibly successful model run, ended in Britain in August 1980 with other countries following soon after.This superb Escort RS2000 Custom is in excellent condition and has more recently been the subject of an extensive restoration. Undertaken in 2018 the car was placed on a rotisserie and work included a bare metal respray and restoration of the body. The paintwork was finished in dark blue and the interior was trimmed in contrasting brown cloth. During the restoration, the Ford was fitted with an upgraded 2.0 Litre Zetec engine and five-speed gearbox and as such performs very well indeed and sounds superb when on song. Dry stored and used sparingly the car remains in excellent condition; the engine bay of this Ford is immaculate as is the paintwork and interior. This 1980’s classic is one of the finest RS2000’s we have seen and is supplied with a sizeable history file detailing the restoration, the current UK V5C registration document, and many old MoT test certificates. Eminently usable, we are sure this RS2000 will bring a smile to the face of the lucky new owner.(Buyers please note this lot is offered with various spares including a Pinto engine block which will require collection from the vendor).Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2001 Aston Martin Vanquish Transmission: paddleMileage:14481An entirely new Aston Martin for the 21st Century, the Vanquish debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2001, with deliveries commencing a few months later. The Vanquish took over from the Vantage V8 with the Newport Pagnell factory undergoing an extensive multi-million pound refurbishment to accommodate it, gaining a new assembly line, paint shop, rolling road and water test facility. Styled by Ian Callum, the man responsible for the DB7, the Vanquish was developed with assistance from Aston Martin’s parent company Ford using constructional techniques more advanced than those of any current road car of that time. The 6.0 litre, 48 valve, V12 engine, the first of its type for Aston Martin, developed 460bhp at 6,800rpm, 400lb/ft of torque available at 5,500 revs. The state-of-the-art electronic engine management system provided ‘drive by wire’ throttle control and was linked to the six-speed manual gearbox’s electro-hydraulic change mechanism, a first for a production car. The gearchange was controlled by F1-style paddles and could be operated in either of two modes, fully manual or computer controlled automatic, with a ‘sport’ setting available on both. It was an instant sales success and its choice as transport for James Bond only added to the appeal.This truly stunning Aston Martin Vanquish 2+2 has only covered 14,500 miles and when new was supplied with the Aston Martin Works walnut pack, premium audio system and electric heated seats. Regularly serviced with twelve services listed, the last carried out at 14,025 miles, this car has had the Vanquish S clutch upgrade fitted. Finished in Ferrari Grigio Titanio silver with charcoal and Tailor Grey interior, this lovely Aston Martin Vanquish is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in October 2021, the original aluminium book pack, the fire extinguisher, first aid kit, torch, tyre pressure gauge, quick guide and original note pad. Ever since the introduction DB9 Aston Martin have built the reputation of building the ultimate Gran Turismo cars, a combination of high performance with ultimate luxury and the Vanquish continued with this lifestyle choice.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1970 Ford Escort Mk. I Twin Cam Ex-Hannu Mikkola Transmission: manualMileage:78240The Mk. I Ford Escort was introduced in Ireland and the UK at the end of 1967, making its show debut at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1968. It replaced the successful, long-running Ford Anglia. The front suspension and steering gear were differently configured, and the brakes were fitted with dual hydraulic circuits; also the wheels fitted on the Genk-built Escorts had wider rims. At the beginning of 1970, continental European production transferred to a new plant on the edge of Saarlouis, West Germany. They were hailed as an immediate success both domestically on the roads and for motor sport, particularly rallying. A higher performance version for rallies and racing was available, the Escort Twin Cam, which was built for Group 2 international rallying. It had an engine with a Lotus-made eight-valve twin camshaft head fitted to the 1.5 litre non-crossflow block, which had a bigger bore than usual to give a capacity of 1,558cc. This engine had originally been developed for the Lotus Elan. The Mk. I Escorts were incredibly successful and they eventually went on to become one of the most successful rally cars of all time.This rare and historically interesting ex-Ford Works rally car was driven in period by Hannu Mikkola at the Rally of Cyprus in October 1970 and also in period by the British rally star Roger Clark although he didn’t compete in the car (as pictured in the book ‘The Works Escorts’ Second Edition by Graham Robson). The car was first registered in February 1970 and was sold (shown in a used vehicle brochure) as an ex-Works car on 30th June 1972. The car still has the same registration from new which is recorded in its original buff logbook and again confirmed in the present logbook. This car is depicted in various magazines and Works Escort books being rallied by the sporting luminaries mentioned and has been in storage for most of its latter-day life, forming part of a small private collection presently. This car is known by the AVO Club who inspected and valued it in 2011 confirming its provenance. A wonderful piece of motorsport history not to be missed.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1956 Citroën 2CV Van Transmission: manualMileage:Ranking alongside the Volkswagen Beetle, Mini and Land Rover as one of the classic mass-produced cars of the post-war era, Citroën's quirky 2CV debuted in 1949. Intended to provide basic transport in a period of post-war austerity, the 2CV outlived its humble beginnings, going on to attain cult status as the favoured car of the environmentally concerned motorist. Although the original 375cc air-cooled flat-twin engine grew, eventually, to 602cc, the 2CV's performance remained modest at around 70mph flat-out, not that that concerned the majority of its devotees for whom the roomy interior, full-length sunroof and frugal fuel consumption were of far greater importance. The 2CV was built in civilian, military and commercial versions, the latter - a small delivery van - being known as the 'Fourgonette', which was first seen in 1951. By the time production ceased in 1990 more than 5 million 2CVs of all types had been made.This left hand drive example of this iconic French model is presented in the state in which it was found in a barn in 2006 in France. The car was then imported to the UK when the body was then removed from the chassis. The floors and sills were replaced together with a new bulkhead and toe board – which are the parts that normally rot on these vehicles. The body was then refitted to the sound, original chassis and the body was left exactly as it was. The engine is running but the car is currently SORN however it does come with a V5 registration document. A fun potential commercial vehicle or just to potter around in but we suggest an element of recommissioning would be a good idea.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

2000 Renault Clio II RS (172 Phase 1) Transmission: manualMileage:44900The Renault Clio is a supermini car and was launched in 1990, and entered its fifth generation in 2019. The Clio has had substantial critical and commercial success, being consistently one of Europe's top-selling cars since its launch and it is largely credited with restoring Renault's reputation and stature after a difficult second half of the 1980s. The Clio is one of only two cars, the other being the Volkswagen Golf, to have been voted European Car of the Year twice, in 1991 and 2006. In 1998, Renault launched the Clio Renault Sport (also known as Clio RS for short, named Clio Renault Sport 172; 172 coming from the DIN method metric horsepower measurement), with a 2.0 L 16-valve engine and a top speed of 137 mph and only 1357 were produced.This lovely example of this rare model is presented in Titanium Silver with blue/grey leather and Alcantara interior. It was one of the first UK registered cars of this type and one of only 1,357 produced and being the early model, it has an aluminum body and gear shift light. The car comes with a good service history, Brembo HC front discs, air conditioning, power steering and had its cambelt change at 42,863 miles. These are rare ‘hot hatches’ and this particular example will not disappoint in any respect.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1936 Brough Superior SS80 Transmission: paddleMileage:82George Brough, second son of motorcycle manufacturer William Brough, set up his own company in 1919 and purchased premises in Haydn Road, Nottingham to build machines powered by large capacity V-twin, JAP engines. He was assisted in this venture by friends Iike Webb and Harold Karslake who was to become his Chief Engineer. George Brough's desire to improve on the motorcycles built by his father, William, led him to the name Brough Superior and the legend was born.The first production Brough Superior, featuring a 986cc overhead valve V-twin JAP engine, Sturmey-Archer three-speed gearbox and Enfield Cush Hub, was exhibited at the 1921 Motor Cycle Show at Olympia. In 1923 the SS80 was introduced to the public powered by a side-valve, V-twin JAP engine and H.D. Teague, editor of 'The Motorcycle', referred to the Brough Superior as The Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles after road testing an SS80. The slogan was adopted by George Brough and used in subsequent advertising.Competition success was fundamental to the development of the marque and in 1922 George Brough lapped Brooklands at over 100mph on 'Spit and Polish', a prototype for the SS80. Following an accident it was rebuilt and renamed 'Old Bill' and, widely campaigned by George, it became one of the most famous racing machines ever. In 1924, highly regarded tuner and racing motorcyclist, Bert Le Vack, developed the Val Page designed overhead valve JAP V-twin and used it in a Brough Superior motorcycle to set a new World Speed Record of 118.98mph at Arpajon in France.This SS80 example with a sprung Bentley and Draper frame displays all correct numbers. It has been stored indoors in a private collection for the past few years and as such will need some recommissioning before going back on the road. A Brough Owners Club known machine benefiting from an older restoration, this UK registered from new example boasts an extensive history file including copies of the ‘works build sheet’, an old RF60 continuation logbook, previous MoT's, old tax discs, related paperwork, a copy of a parts manual and a current UK V5 registration document.

1976 Lamborghini Espada Series III Transmission: manualMileage:11976 The 1967 Geneva Motor Show event saw the unveiling of the sensational Lamborghini Marzal. A concept car which was seen as an approach to a four-seat Lamborghini. A forerunner for the successful distinct Espada. Named after a matador's sword, the Espada was styled along lines similar to those of the concept Marzal but carried a 4.0 litre V12 up front, first seen in the 400GT and Islero. Introduced in January 1970, the Series II cars came with an extra 25bhp, 155mph top speed, an improved dashboard layout and the option of power assisted steering. The dashboard was revised yet again in late 1972 for the Series III, which also incorporated power steering as standard, up-rated brakes, minor suspension improvements, and a restyled front grille. Espada production ceased in 1978 after 1,217 of these imposing cars had been built. Even today there are few cars that can match the on-road presence of the Espada.This stunning Series III Espada is offered in black with grey full leather interior and we are informed chassis number 9510 was one of the last cars to leave the factory. During the course of its life the car has spent time in various private collections as well as in the Autoglass Family Museum. At the start of what became a comprehensive restoration in September 2008, the car was put into Colin Clarke Engineering where the engine was removed to be fully rebuilt. The car was then sent away to have further works undertaken which included a bare metal respray, all sills and floor pans were completely refurbished before being protected for future use. Once this was complete, the interior was treated to a full retrim in grey leather bringing the car back to full factory condition. The car was then returned to Colin Clarke Engineering in September 2010 to have the rebuilt engine fitted and tested. At the same time the brakes and suspension were overhauled along with the gearbox. This vehicle is now held in our vendors private collection and accompanied by a comprehensive history file. An absolutely stunning, right hand drive, manual example of the marque, this example certainly could not be recreated for the estimate range and thus looks incredible value for such a collectable car.

1976 Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 Transmission: manualMileage:51804At the Paris Auto Salon in 1972, Ferrari unveiled an all new car to the world. It was a fast, svelte and elegant 2+2 powered by their legendary V12 engine, and was the most expensive series produced by Ferrari for 17 years. The 365 GT4 2+2 is easily distinguished from its successors by its six rear tail lights, knock-off alloy wheels, and lack of a front spoiler and was produced between 1972 and 1976. Production totalled 525 cars and just 109 of these were right hand drive. The bodies were built and fully trimmed at the Pininfarina works in Turin, and then shipped to the Ferrari factory in Maranello for the installation of the mechanical components. Under the bonnet, Ferrari squeezed in a 4.4 litre V12 unit producing 340bhp at 7000rpm resulting in the world's most potent full four-seater at the time. Despite its 1,450 kilos, the car galloped from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.4 seconds and was capable of a top speed of 155 mph.This UK supplied, right hand drive 1976 Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 finished in Rosso Sir Ivor with a black Cognolo leather interior, is one of only 27 believed to be left in existence. Ordered new with air conditioning, electric mirrors, electric windows and cassette stereo, it was first registered on 14thMay 1976. The paperwork that accompanies the car shows it was first ordered by Maranello Concessionaires in Egham before being sold onto Lancaster Garages in Colchester, Essex. The car is even rarer in that it has only had three keepers in its entire 45 year life. It has benefitted recently from new, correct Michelin XWX tyres, a suspension overhaul, a new high torque starter motor, new clutch and an engine service which included the carburettors being cleaned and balanced with new points and condensers fitted. The vendor reports that the car drives very well, attracting a lot of attention wherever it goes.Supplied with copies of the car’s original order sheet and factory correspondence, a V5C registration document, previous MoT test certificates and receipts. This desirable, well presented and rare final year of production car, offers an excellent alternative to the much more common comparable Aston Martin or Maserati of the time.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1995 Porsche 993 Carrera 4 Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:54653The Porsche 993 was introduced in 1993 as a replacement for the 964 generation of the iconic 911 model and was built until 1998. Regarded by many as the best generation of 911s ever produced from Stuttgart, this car was the last to use the air cooled flat six engine that had powered 911s for the previous thirty years. The 993 was offered in a number of guises and specifications during its production life including two and four wheel drive trains, known as Carrera and Carrera 4 respectively. The 993 was the first generation 911 to have standard six-speed manual transmission.This iconic looking Porsche was manufactured in 1995 and spent most of its life in the dry state of California. Imported to the U.K in 2018 by the vendor, this low mileage example has been garaged since its arrival and used very rarely. Fitted with air conditioning, C.D. player, sunroof, electric adjustment for the seats and a category five tracking device, this left hand drive example is, we are told, a joy to drive. The road holding of these four wheel drive Porsches is legendary and this is no exception. Offered to auction with a file containing details of all the cars American service history, a V5C registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until 18th February 2022. This Porsche presents well in metallic silver which is complemented with a grey leather interior and is ready to go.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1996 Ferrari F355 Spider Transmission: manualMileage:35854The Ferrari F355 was manufactured between May 1994 and 1999 and was an evolution of the Ferrari 348. It is a mid-engined, rear wheel drive, V8 powered two seater coupé. At launch, two models were available; the Coupé Berlinetta and the Targa topped GTS. The Spider (convertible) version was introduced in 1995. One major difference between the longitudinal V8 in the 348 and that in the 355, apart from the displacement increase from 3.4 to 3.5 litres, is that the F355 features a five valve per cylinder head that is considerably more powerful, producing 375bhp. The nomenclature does not follow the formula from the previous decades, i.e. engine capacity plus cylinder number - for example, the Ferrari 308 name comes from three litres plus eight cylinders, with the same for the 328, 348, 512 etc. This time, Ferrari used engine capacity plus number of valves per cylinder; proud to boast about this technological advancement, with the name 355 coming from 3.5 litre engine capacity and five valves per cylinder. The F355 has become the most popular model so far with over 11,273 cars manufactured of which 3,843 were Spiders.This very good left hand drive 1996 Ferrari F355, fitted with the six speed manual gearbox, was supplied on 23rd May 1996 by Ferrari of Los Gatos in California. Whilst in the US the car only had two Californian owners and had only covered 35,000 miles from new before it was imported to the UK in February 2018 and put into storage. Finished in Giallo Fly with black leather interior, black hood and black hood cover, this F355 is supplied with original prancing horse wing shields, black brake calipers, tool bag and Ferrari car cover, and was fitted with a new cambelt at the end of 2020. It also comes with a UK V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in 2022 and a complete handbook pack. This lovely, ex-Californian Ferrari F355 represents good value for money and is in one of the most desirable Ferrari colour schemes.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1932 Austin 7 Gordon England Special Transmission: manualMileage:8324The Austin 7 is an economy car that was produced from 1923 until 1939 in the UK. It was nicknamed the ‘baby Austin’ and was, at that time, one of the most popular cars produced for the British market and also sold well abroad. Its effect on the British market was similar to that of the Model T Ford in the US.Herbert Austin's son-in-law, Arthur Waite, soon began to achieve remarkable sporting successes beginning at Brooklands in March 1923 and the next month at Monza. Another driver, E C Gordon England, persuaded Sir Herbert to provide him with a racing 7. Waite and Lou Kings (chief tester) then experienced a run of failure brought about by inadequate engine lubrication for racing conditions. Meanwhile, Gordon England, flushed with success from establishing six new class records at Brooklands, had built a special lightweight two-seater body weighing just 20lb and entered it in the 1100cc class for the Junior Car Club 200 mile race at Brooklands in October 1923. There Gordon England finished in second place and during the race won another five class records. Austin 7s were rebuilt as ‘specials’ after the Second World War, including the first race car built by Bruce McLaren, and the first Lotus, the Mk I. Companies such as Speedex in Luton thrived in the late 1950s by producing race-proven bodies and engine parts for the Seven chassis. The ‘Specials’ were more commonly used latterly as ‘mud pluggers’ in hillclimbing.This lovely little British classic is presented in the traditional blue vinyl body covering with grey wheel arches/runner boards and natural aluminium bonnet cover. It has a black interior and black hood, both of which are in good condition and has just had its wheels refurbished at vast expense, including new inner tubes fitted. It is powered by a lively 747cc four-cylinder engine mated to a three speed manual gearbox and is on the button! These are rare cars and certainly one in this condition should not be missed.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1965 AC Cobra Mk. III 427 SC Transmission: manualMileage:3011It was Carroll Shelby who was first to utilise the American V8 power unit, after racing in Europe in the late 1950s, he realised that a combination of a lightweight American V8 engine and a proven European chassis was a winning combination. He found that a Ford V8 installed in the chassis of an AC Ace was the answer, and thus birthing the Cobra. The car set new standards of performance for road cars and was highly effective in competition. The early cars featured a smaller capacity 260cu engine, which was later enlarged to 289cu. When fitted with ever more powerful engines, the cars’ chassis capabilities were stretched to the limit and Shelby approached Ford to take their concept a stage further.The old adage, 'Win on Sunday, sell on Monday' became a reality for Ford. Together with Shelby they were able to create a new chassis which had an entirely new frame, dubbed Mk. III, with all-independent suspension by coil springs and double wishbones. Clothing this new frame was virtually the same bodywork as the concurrent 427 ‘big block’ Cobra, which also shared a similar chassis design. This final flowering of the 289 model received the 4,727cc Ford V8 engine which produced 271bhp with a top speed of 138mph but of more importance was its 5.5 second 0-60mph sprint, very few cars in the world could match that in the 1960s. Just 27 examples of the Mk. III were built, making this the rarest series manufactured Cobra variant before production ended altogether at the end of 1968.COX6136 is one of very few examples originally supplied to the Unites States by Ford/AC Rep, Dave Wagner (The COX prefix denotes export). These examples were delivered without a powertrain and completed on arrival in the US. This example was completed by one of the world’s leading Cobra restorers, Bill Kemper who mimicked the well-known competition Cobra, CSX3018. The power unit fitted was a 1965 C5AE-H side oiler NASCAR engine with steel medium riser heads, coupled to a top loader close ratio four speed transmission. Also fitted was a 42 gallon S/C fuel tank and a correct 427 S/C interior. Finished in its original Guardsman Blue paintwork with a black roll-bar and black S/C side pipes, COX6136 shows a mere 3,011 miles on the odometer and comes complete with a sizeable history file. The history is recorded by the Shelby American World Registry and it has featured in several books, notably Trevor Legate's Classic Work on The Cobra. The Cobra comes complete with various sundry invoices, the current UK V5 Registration document and a tonneau cover.Offered by a prolific collector, the Cobra is reported to be in very good condition throughout and would enhance any serious collection. Very rarely do Mk. III Cobras come to the open market and even fewer are as good as this one.

1968 Morris Cooper S Mk. I (1275cc) Transmission: manualMileage:11226 To many, its designer Alec Issigonis included, the notion that the Mini might have a future as anything other than basic transport was anathema and the idea of a high-performance version was laughable. One man though, saw it quite differently. Racing car manufacturer John Cooper already knew quite a bit about tuning BMC's A-Series engine, he was running the company's Formula Junior effort at the time and a test drive in a prototype Mini convinced him of the car's competition potential. The result, launched in September 1961, was the Mini Cooper, a car that offered a size/price/performance package that was nothing short of miraculous. The Mini Cooper soon established its credentials as a rally and race winner, and the stage was set for even faster versions. The first of these, the 1,071cc Mini Cooper 'S' of 1963, took engine development a stage further and provided the basis for the 971 'S' and 1275 'S' of 1964.This attractive Cooper S version of the unmistakable Mini was manufactured in 1968 and has spent most of its life in the dry environment of New South Wales, Australia. Imported by its enthusiast owner in January 2017, this well presented Mini has been dry stored since its return and has seen minimal use. The classic colour combination of white with a retrimmed red interior is complemented with a black roof and a new set of silver and matt black wheels with Yokohama tyres. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document, this MoT test exempt example will certainly bring a lot of joy to any new owner. Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1969 Porsche 911S Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:72946Introduced at the 1963 Frankfurt Auto Show, Porsche’s all-new 911 drew instant acclaim. Like its predecessor, the long-running 356, it had a rear-mounted air-cooled ‘boxer’ engine, but where the 356 had four cylinders the 911S offered six, with single overhead camshafts and a displacement of 1,991cc. The engine produced 130bhp and a five-speed transmission was standard. Styling, reminiscent of the 356 but with up-to-date cues, was by Ferdinand ‘Butzi’ Porsche, grandson of the founder Ferdinand Porsche. In 1966, a performance model 911S was added to the line. Its engine had the same displacement as the 911 but had higher compression and was fed by twin Weber carburettors. The 911S delivered an impressive 180bhp. While the 356 was notable for its longevity in the marketplace, the 911 has proved nearly immortal.Originally ordered for the United States, this 911S was imported into the United Kingdom in 2004 and has been in long term ownership by the vendor since October 2008. The MoT test certificate history shows how little this example has been used since his acquisition. This left hand drive version of the iconic Porsche 911 presents well in silver metallic with a charcoal interior and comes with a comprehensive service folder containing various bills and receipts for works completed. We are advised by the vendor that there are no known faults with the car and that she is a joy to drive. Offered to auction with a V5C registration document, this MoT test certificate exempt Porsche is one of the more sought after examples. Good quality examples are rare and highly desirable and CHJ 360G is certainly one of those.

1968 Chevrolet Corvette C3 427ci Transmission: automaticMileage:90000This rare NCRS Top Flight 1968 Corvette Coupé is presented in Silverstone Silver with a black interior and is powered by its original matching numbers IM-L68, 427 cubic inch 400 bhp engine with correct numbers, fitted with 3x2 Holley carburettors, all of this is mated to a four-speed transmission.Boasting air conditioning, tinted glass, power steering, power brakes and complete with the original tank sticker, this car is in impeccable condition and we are informed in perfect working order. The paint is described as flawless; indeed the entire vehicle is in incredible concours condition including the undercarriage and frame.Built in early March 1968 it is believed only 116 Corvettes were built with the 427ci /400hp block mated to a four-speed gearbox. Understood to have had just three owners, the current owner has had the vehicle for 10 years. It appears to have a genuine 90,000 miles on the odometer, substantiated by the original owner’s personal maintenance notes in the Owner’s Manual which contains hand-written maintenance notes to 77,280 miles.This stunning car received an NCRS Top Flight award in 2004 and again in 2019; an award which was created by the National Corvette Restorers Society in 1974 to recognise cars that have been preserved or restored to the highest level of achievement through the NCRS Flight Judging Process. The overall score was 96.48% in 2004 and the deficits noted on the judging sheets have been corrected as noted in available documents. In September 2018, the vehicle was treated to a refresh in excess of $21,000 which included an overhaul or replacement of all major systems, key components and appearance items; receipts for which are included in the history file.Provenance is provided by way of the original tank sticker, Owner’s Manual with original owner’s maintenance notes, 2004 NCRS Regional Top Flight certificate judging sheets, receipts from the 2004 restoration and complete documentation of the freshening completed in September 2018 at Masterworks Corvette in Madison Heights, Michigan. Masterworks was founded by Werner Meier, a General Motors engineer/manager who spent over 25 years in the Corvette group and earned him admittance in the Corvette Hall of Fame and also an NCRS senior judge and group judge at the Concours D’Elegance of America. Regarded as one of the best in the world at Corvette judging and restoration, Werner restored dozens of notable Corvettes, some of which have been on display at the National Corvette Museum. Few people understand, or know how to, restore Corvettes as this man does.During restoration, only the highest quality rebuilt, N.O.S. or premium reproduction parts were used, and no unknown manufacturers were utilised as sources. In the latest restoration, the major systems of the car were replaced, overhauled or repaired including the intake manifold and removal of the oil pan and internals inspected. The compression check was very good with all cylinders registering between 108-116 psi on the 1st cycle, and 128-135 psi on the 3rd cycle. The oil pan, oil pan gaskets and rear main engine seal were replaced. Push rods, lifters, rocker arms, etc. were inspected and found to be in good condition.The transmission and rear axle were overhauled by a GM engineer and all parts found to be out-of-spec or visibly worn were replaced and the internal specs were checked and corrected. The factory specified rear axle ratio of 3.08:1 was changed to 3.36:1 during restoration (the speedo gear was also changed and is accurate to +1 mph) - this change allowed the vehicle to perform better than it did as new but can easily be returned to the original 3.08:1 ratio with little cost or effort. U-joints, driveshaft, axles were inspected, found to be in good condition and marked with appropriate paint.The brake system was extensively redone with new vacuum booster, master cylinder, master cylindercover (with bail tag), calipers, and pads. The fluid was replaced and discs were refaced. The carburettors were replaced with N.O.S. units with correct date codes, before fuel lines/blocks, linkage, cable, choke coil/cover and brackets were replaced.Key electrical components were replaced, the entire interior was removed and each assembly was then inspected and replaced if function or appearance were compromised before painted items received fresh paint. All key electrical switches were replaced and even the FM/AM radio, speakers, speaker wires, fresh air outlets replaced. The front and rear suspension was inspected, aligned and placed in spec and shocks were replaced. The tyres are correct reproduction from original moulds as red line bias-ply Sup-R-Belt - a rare option only available on late production cars.The paint and chrome appear factory new and gives the appearance of being dipped in a liquid coating. The panel fit is as original and we are informed there is no damage to body or trim and no missing trim.After the 2018 work this example was imported to the UK where in 2019 it gained a fresh NCRS Top Flight award, and in the face of much stricter criteria than in previous years it achieved an impressive overall score of 97.4 %. Offered with the dealer-installed accessory luggage rack together with a comprehensive history file, this Corvette gives an accurate impression of what the car would have looked like when new 50 years ago. With its impressive looks and performance, the quality of this car is targeted at the Corvette enthusiast who does not want to compromise on their investment but instead wants a verifiable, documented history of responsible ownership and restoration as befits one of America’s true sports cars.Ready for showing or just for recreational driving, opportunities to own such a desirable car are rare and the new owner would undoubtedly be the envy of every Corvette enthusiast.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1959 Jaguar XK150 Drophead Coupé Transmission: manualMileage:21934Despite having a family resemblance to the XK120 and XK140, the XK150 was radically modernised. A one-piece windscreen replaced the split screen and the wing line no longer dropped as much over the doors. The bonnet was widened, opened down to the wings and on the roadster, the bulkhead was moved back four inches to make the bonnet longer. In the interior, the XK140's walnut dashboard was replaced by one trimmed in leather and chrome. On the early drophead coupés, an aluminium centre dash panel with an ‘X’ pattern engraving was fitted which looked similar to the early 3.8 E-Type. It was discontinued after June 1958. The standard engine, the same as fitted to the XK140, was the 3.4 litre DOHC Jaguar straight six rated at 180bhp at 5750rpm. These were high performance, well-appointed sports touring cars capable of 137mph and 0-60 in 7.8 seconds and could accomplish long distances with comfort and in great style.This superb Jaguar was manufactured in 1959 as a genuine UK registered right hand drive example. However it was built as a coupé and was professionally converted to a drophead coupé to exacting standards some years later. Mechanically, the car has also been sensibly modified; the engine upgraded to ‘S’ specification which is fuelled by a trio of two-inch SU carburettors. She also benefits from a high torque starter motor, twin fuel pumps, an alternator, high volume radiator and a stainless steel exhaust system. The gearbox is a five-speed Getrag unit and this is linked to an S-Type rear axle with a limited slip differential. To be expected, the brakes have been upgraded to four-pot Coopercraft front calipers and the suspension has adjustable Spax shock absorbers all round. Sitting proudly on 15” chrome wire wheels, perhaps the most significant upgrade is power steering making this XK150 a delight to drive. Finished in British Racing Green with magnolia interior and a tan hood, this delightful example is a joy to drive and will easily keep up with modern day traffic.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1969 Shelby GT350 Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:92116The Shelby Mustang is a high-performance variant of the Ford Mustang which was built by Shelby American from 1965 to 1968, and from 1969 to 1970 by Ford. The earliest of cars are often called Cobras using the Cobra emblem and the optional Cobra valve covers on many GT350s that were part of a marketing tie-in by Shelby with the AC Cobra models produced by Shelby, as well as one of his iconic symbols. Beginning as a stock Mustang with a four-speed manual transmission and nine-inch live rear axle, the cars were shipped to Shelby American, where they received the high-riser manifolds, Tri-Y headers, and were given larger Ford Galaxie rear drum brakes with metallic-linings and Kelsey-Hayes front disc brakes. In 1965, the GT350 was not built for comfort or ease of driving, there were 34 GT350R race-spec cars built specifically for competition use under SCCA rules, and the model was the B-Production champion for three straight years however by 1966 the GT350 was more comfortable for casual drivers, including rear seats, optional colours, and an optional automatic transmission. This trend for more options and luxuries continued in the following years, with the cars becoming progressively more comfortable.The 1965 and 1966 GT350s were delivered from Ford's San Jose assembly plant in body and white form for modification by Carroll Shelby's operation, originally in Venice Beach and later at Los Angeles International Airport. The only year that the Shelby Mustangs from the 1960s came from another plant was 1968, where they came from New Jersey, this was denoted by the ‘T’ in the VIN and they were modified by A.O. Smith.In 1969 the GTs lost their Cobra tag and were marketed simply as the Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT500 receiving an extensive face lift, the body alone increasing in length. Ford was involved with design and style decisions, with Shelby having less input but the GT350 was now equipped with a 351 cubic-inch V8 and this was the last of the Shelby Mustangs as Carroll Shelby terminated his agreement with Ford in the summer of 1969.This matching numbers Shelby GT350 convertible is presented in Acapulco Blue with contrasting black trim and knit vinyl Hi-Back bucket seats with a white power-hood to match the famous Shelby racing stripes. The car boasts both power steering and air conditioning and the 351-4V V8 engine is mated to the matching GT350 select shift automatic transmission. GT equipment included, power front disc brakes, deluxe interior, a SelectAire AM/8 track stereo radio, tinted glass, deluxe belts and colour keyed racing mirrors. This car was owned by a Californian collector for some 30 years and six years ago he decided to embark on a full $200,000 restoration, sadly upon nearing the completion he passed away. Our vendor recently completed the restoration upon its arrival in the UK which included a new hood this year and over £10,000 of bills from Speed shop and Mustang Maniac found within the history file. The restoration included a complete disassembly with the bodyshell properly refinished inside and out to an understandably high quality.The 351 V8 engine was fully re-machined in Fresno, California by Daves Performance Motors. This all-matching example as such presents immaculately, firing up immediately with that renowned V8 growl. It is believed that only 194 1969 Shelby’s exist and this is one of those few produced before Shelby left Ford. With over $200,000 invested, this Shelby GT350 convertible represents a serious bargain. Offered with a Marti Report in the history file, this striking Shelby GT350 Convertible deserves serious consideration by any collector, especially those with a hunkering for muscle cars.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda Transmission: manualMileage:22600The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production till February 1971. The 280 SL had a powerful 2.8 litre inline six-cylinder engine, the bonnet, boot lid, door skins and tonneau cover were made of aluminium to reduce weight. The comparatively short and wide chassis, combined with an excellent suspension, powerful brakes and radial tyres gave the W113 superb handling for its time. 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.In very good order throughout, this 280 SL Pagoda was delivered new to California, USA, and was purchased in the UK by the most recent vendor in 2008, who kept it in the South of France. After some 18 months, the vendor moved to Florida, USA, taking the Mercedes with her before shipping the car back to the UK in 2015. It is believed the car was extensively re-sprayed in Florida in 2014, and still presents in very good order throughout. The coachwork, engine bay and interior are all in very good condition with very few minor blemishes. Offered in the desirable colour combination of resplendent red over a tan leather hide interior the 280SL comes complete with a small history file including import documents, the current V5 registration document and various sundry invoices. This well-presented Pagoda, being the more desirable and powerful 280 model with its larger capacity engine, benefits from both its soft and hardtop. Nothing else needs to be said other than this Pagoda is one of the finest we have seen and is ready to be used and enjoyed by a new custodian.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1967 Jaguar Mk. II (3.8 Litre) Saloon Transmission: manualMileage:83912Launched in 1959, the Jaguar Mk. II offered a noticeably improved driving experience over its predecessor courtesy of revised front suspension geometry, widened rear suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Improvements were achieved by increasing the cabin glass area by almost 20%, while narrower front and central body pillars gave the car a more refined appearance. The evergreen Jaguar XK engine was employed once again, with a 220bhp, 3.8 litre high-performance version as used in the Mk. IV saloon, this engine being used for the first time in a mid-range Jaguar saloon, in addition to the 2.4 and 3.4 litre engine options carried over from the Mk. I. With spirited 125mph performance, including a 0-60mph time of 8.5 seconds, the 3.8 litre was immediately in demand and the manual gearbox equipped examples remain amongst the most desirable.This beautiful, well-loved and truly cherished Jaguar Mk. II 3.8 litre with a manual gearbox, power steering and wire wheels is one of the last right hand drive examples to be manufactured. Supplied new by New Zealand premier Jaguar dealers, Shorters Cars, in Auckland to its first owner, Mr. Harvey Hingston on 30th November 1967. This example was ordered new in deep gloss black with a tasteful oxblood red leather interior. In 1985, Mr. David Shorter acquired the car back and kept it for 25 years. The last owner, one of New Zealand’s largest classic car collectors, Mr. Grant Baker purchased it and in 2011 the car was sent to International Motorsport and over the next twelve mounts they did a complete restoration costing over NZ $110,000, repainting it in the original colour but retaining the very good red leather interior. This car was imported to the UK in 2016 and the new owner, Mr. John Rivers who spent over £2,500 on works which included replacing the power steering rack, alternator upgrade, manual choke and fitting electronic ignition. This Jaguar Mk. II is supplied with a V5 registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in December 2021, a Heritage Certificate showing that it is a matching numbers car, the original handbook and a large file containing invoices going back to 1970, details of the 2011/12 restoration and invoices for the work carried out it the UK. This is without doubt one of the finest Mk. IIs offered to market in recent years and would rightfully deserve its place in any major Jaguar collection.Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.

1963 Triumph Vitesse Convertible Transmission: manualMileage:96000Introduced in May 1962, the Triumph Vitesse was a six-cylinder sports saloon based upon the four-cylinder powered Triumph Herald. Having designed the Herald, Giovanni Michelotti made revisions to the design evolving it into the Vitesse and resulting in the ‘slanted’ four-headlamp design.This is a superb example of one of the very first Vitesse convertibles with the ultra-rare single clock. We are informed this example has benefitted from significant expenditure and is referred to as a ‘go anywhere anytime classic’ and a Best in Show winning car on multiple occasions. Fitted with overdrive on third and fourth gears to ensure this example has no problem keeping up with modern traffic. Sitting on wire wheels with the sporty twin exhaust, this Vitesse has a concealed stereo and benefits from a new clutch. Our vendor has owned this car for over nine years and states that when not in use the car has always remained garaged away from the elements. This is quite possibly the very best example of this great British classic and we are informed a total pleasure to both own and drive.Guide Price £13,000 - £17,000Interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the description and condition of each lot prior to the sale.
