Possibly the best restored S2 JPS Esprit on offer today.When first seen in concept form at the Turin Show in 1972, Giorgio Giugiaro's dart-shaped outline was breathtakingly modernNumber 22/100 World Championship Commemorative Models built for the UKRestored to exacting standards over the past three yearsComprehensive history file including a Lotus Certificate of ProvenanceA well-known car, Top Gear and Magazine featuredSuper rare opportunity to acquire an instantly recognizable, limited edition Esprit that is one of the best we have seenThe first, and arguably the most memorable, of the early Esprit limited-editions was officially dubbed the World Championship Commemorative Model, but is better known to enthusiasts as the John Player Special (JPS), as its distinctive Black and Gold livery was inspired by the ground effect, JPS-sponsored, championship-winning Lotus 79 cars of the period, as raced by Mario Andretti and Ronnie Petersen. It was originally planned to build 200 but in the end, it was believed that 185 were produced, 100 for the UK, 55 for the United States and 30 for Europe. The eye-catching specification included, Gold-coloured side stripes complete with “World Champion” lettering, Gold-coloured front and rear windscreen surrounds and alloy wheels, Gold-effect Corduroy seat inserts and a three-spoke leather rimmed steering wheel instead of the plastic offering. The “Juke Box” installed was a Hitachi Digi-One radio-cassette. The 1973cc, 16-valve DOHC engine delivered a feisty 160bhp which was sufficient to sprint the 1,980lb glassfibre-bodied, two-seater to 60mph in 6.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 124 mph. Production ran from December 1978 till July 1979.DLH 393T was built on the 21st of December 1978 and supplied to Chipstead of Hampton Court, prior to being registered on the 20th of January 1979 and delivered to its first owner, Waverley Textiles Ltd.This immaculate Lotus Esprit was badged “Number 22”, however, we understand from the Lotus Certificate of Vehicle Provenance that it was actually the 12th car manufactured, all detailed in the cars fascinating history file. The present custodian has cossetted this Esprit since 2017 and has lavished thousands on bringing the car back to a ‘Best of Breed’ standard. He had the bodywork stripped back to the gelcoat and freshly painted with a set of the original stripes and the alloy wheels refurbished to the exact Gold colouring of the original issue. S J Sports Cars of Crediton near Exeter have maintained this car since 2017 and within the history file, there are invoices to the tune of some £25,000 the most recent of which details a complete engine re-build, refurbished carburettors and a myriad of mechanical components along with a separate invoice for £3,000 relating to a whole host of trim parts to complete the re-build. This S2 has worn a few different number plates throughout the years, however, the current owner did successfully manage to obtain the original registration number which the Lotus now sports again.Number 22 is quite a well-known car as, in addition to enjoying some fame on a pre-Clarkson ‘Top Gear’, and appearing in a YouTube clip (wearing its GJI reg) it was celebrated in an impressive 9-page feature in the January 2019 issue of Classic Cars, a copy of which resides in the history file.The original tool wallet, jack and brace, correct spare wheel, and genuine full Lotus workshop manual are all where they should be and complete a very special package. Superbly presented and indicating only 67,295 miles, this is a serious car for a serious collector and requires just one thing… a new owner.SpecificationMake: LOTUSModel: ESPRIT S2 JPSYear: 1978Chassis Number: 781205577GTransmission: ManualEngine Number: CC907781215715Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 66000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black /CreamClick here for more details and images

Stylish, early 2.3-litre Pagoda in a fabulous colour combination.An early, UK-supplied, right-hand drive car with a manual gearboxFitted with the desirable factory Pagoda hardtop and pencil-whitewall tyresSubject to a painstaking body and trim restoration in 2017Superbly presented in a stylish mid-grey metallic with a fabulous red leather interior.In current private ownership since 2017. Specialist SS Motors have looked after the car past few years (July 2020 last visit)Would make an ideal classic car proposition and looks wonderful in any environment.The second generation of Mercedes’ SL-Series, the W113, began with the 230 of 1963. Designed by Paul Bracq and sketched by Freiderich Geiger, it offered elegant simplicity within its compact proportions, the wide track and short wheelbase, with big steel wheels filling the arches, suggesting comfort rather than performance. The wonderfully crisp styling clothed a monocoque chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension, power-assisted disc/drum brakes, recirculating ball steering and a 2306cc straight-six engine of 150bhp and 145 lb-ft of torque mated to either a four-speed manual or automatic transmission. The car was an international hit for Mercedes-Benz throughout the 1960s and has retained lasting appeal with enthusiasts, celebrities, musicians, retired Grand Prix drivers and enthusiasts alike.According to an official copy of the Mercedes-Benz data card, this early, manual gearbox, right-hand drive 230SL was ordered in 1963 and first registered in the UK on 7th April 1964. The factory specification details an exterior colour of White Grey with a medium red interior and it was ordered with a factory hardtop and optional paint protection.In 2017, ‘DBV 102B’ enjoyed a comprehensive body and trim restoration, all finished to a very high standard. The exterior was repainted in a slightly darker shade of metallic grey with a stunning red leather interior, which was beautifully re-trimmed. Indeed, there are numerous invoices on file detailing the work including some from the ‘SL Shop’ acknowledged marque specialists.Purchased by its current private owner in 2017, through Silverstone Auctions, this simply lovely early ‘Pagoda’ is now being offered to the market. The car was looked after by the Mercedes specialist ‘SS Motors’ during our vendor's ownership, again with invoices on file, with the most recent dating from July 2020, ensuring that this smart little SL230 is up to date and ready to be enjoyed by its next lucky owner.With its timeless looks, sophisticated mid-grey coachwork, stunning red leather interior, pencil white-walls, manual gearbox and factory ‘Pagoda ‘top, this is a cracking example of Paul Bracq’s little Mercedes ‘boulevardier’ and we invite you to come and have a look for yourselves.SpecificationMake: MERCEDESModel: 230SL PAGODAYear: 1964Chassis Number: 11304220002648Make: Click here for more details and images

Sparkling 5.6-litre, long wheelbase, S-Class with 26,089 warranted miles.UK-supplied, right-hand drive, W126 dating from 05/03/1987Delightfully presented in Willow Green Metallic with Pine Green leather upholstery5.6-litre, SOHC, 296bhp V8 offering 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and 155mphOptioned from new with ‘Footrests in the rear, Becker Mexico Radio Cassette, paintwork preservation, LSD oil, MPH speedometer and output increase for 560SEL/ SECAccompanied by a substantial history file. Original First Aid KitUp until recently was part of a significant private collection for thirty yearsWith the current indicated mileage 26,089 corroborated by family correspondence, this S-Class is a must-have for any serious collectorFor decades, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been something of an automotive yardstick for technology and these luxury saloons have always represented the very best of the German marque's forward-thinking design with many world firsts debuting on an S-Class. In its homeland, this model is referred to as the "Sonderklasse," or Special-Class in English and the W126 (1979-’91) was very special indeed.Only the second generation of the car to officially carry the S-Class nameplate, the W126 was a significant improvement on the popular W116. Launched in 1979 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, after six years in development, this was to be the model that would take Mercedes-Benz into the next decade and serve as the flagship for the three-pointed-star. Designers wanted the W126 to be the unquestionable champion in the areas of safety, technology, and efficiency and this they managed to achieve for over a decade.In 1987, the most expensive top of the W126 range was the 560 SEL, a veritable palace on wheels which combined the super-smooth 5.6-litre V8 and the long wheelbase of the SE range, placing it in direct competition with the Rolls-Royce Spirit of the day, both in terms of price and size. It was powered by a 5547cc, SOHC, V8 that developed an unstressed 296bhp and 336lbft of torque, an output sufficient to propel this substantial saloon from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and on to 155mph.This amazing 560SEL is truly a time-warp car in the sense that its sheer presence and gleaming condition give no indication that it’s been wafting around for nearly 35 years. It’s delightfully finished in the rare combination of Willow Green metallic with Pine Green leather and, according to the well-kept history file, Chassis WDB1260392A324158 was built on 5th March 1987 to order number 0753788734 complete with: ‘Footrests in the rear (226), Becker Mexico Radio Cassette player (251), paintwork preservation (524), LSD oil (601), MPH speedometer (461) and output increase for 560SEL / SEC (822)’ etc. Up until very recently, it was part of a significant private collection for thirty years and is accompanied by a letter from the previous owner’s son that helps corroborate the current odometer reading of 26,089 miles from new.This low owner, low mileage example of one of Mercedes-Benz’s most exciting flagship saloons is offered for sale with its Owner’s Manual, original first aid kit, V5C and an MOT Certificate valid until July 2021.Over the years, all Mercedes models move from being ultra-desirable status-symbols to becoming second-hand cars for a year or two and eventually, at an undefinable point in time, people start to remember just how good they were and the market changes with excellent examples becoming collectable. We think the 1980s S-Class has moved through that curve and is rapidly in the ascendancy with examples like this gorgeous, 26,000 mile, 560 SEL becoming unrepeatable.  SpecificationMake: MERCEDESModel: W126 SELYear: 1987Chassis Number: WDB126039ZA324158Transmission: AUTOEngine Number: 11796822028170 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 26000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Pine Green LeatherClick here for more details and images

Presented in fantastic order, this is an extremely rare manual gearbox car with a warranted 34,300 miles.Finished in Champagne Gold with black MB-Tex and grey check cloth. Matching Factory HardtopThe indicated mileage of 34,283 is corroborated by MOTs back to 1989Recommissioned January 2020 following eight-years dry storage. New battery, tyres fuel pump, fluids, filters, brake serviceUprated period stereo. Original Becker unit remains with the car accompanied by operators manualGood history file, original book pack with stamped Maintenance Records, older V5s, maintenance invoices from Stratton Wilmslow etc.Just 3,000 miles in the last 30 years. Current MOT valid until 27/11/2021 with No Advisories Some cars just get better looking with age and the R107 Series Mercedes-Benz SL is definitely among them. Overshadowed for a long time by its graceful ‘Pagoda' predecessor, it's now becoming better appreciated for what it is - a beautifully built sports roadster that is totally dependable. To this day, no car door closes with a more reassuring ‘thunk' than a Mercedes SL, and everything about the car suggests solid engineering.Fast, comfortable and discreetly understated, the SL has a matchless ability to munch up the miles for year after year without ever seeming to falter. No wonder it stayed in production, fundamentally unaltered, from 1971 until 1989 - the longest production run of any Mercedes car to date.Powered by a fuel-injected, straight-six displacing 2,746cc and producing 182bhp, the 280SL continued in production until September 1985 when it was replaced by the 300SL which differed little apart from a slightly larger engineThis, head-turning, 1981, 280SL appears to have been first registered overseas and we would guess was collected from the factory as the service book states (in German) that the PDI was completed on 21/07/1981. A couple of months later it was UK registered and subsequently sold to Leo Hall in November 1981 before being transferred to his wife, Pauline, on 3/11/1983.Lightly used for many years and in dry storage from 2012 until 2020 the cars was recommissioned in January 2020 with a new battery, tyres fuel pump, fluids, filters, and a brake service. The indicated mileage of 34,283 is corroborated by MOTs back to 1989 which also confirm that the SL has covered just 3,000 miles in the last 30 years. The current MOT is valid until 27th November 2021 with ‘No Advisories’.Although delightfully original, it’s fitted with an uprated Blaupunkt stereo but the original Becker unit remains with the car and is accompanied by its operator’s manual. The history file is informative and, in addition to the old MOTs, has earlier V5s, the original book pack with stamped Service Records, and maintenance invoices from Stratton Wilmslow etc.A manual gearbox was a rare option for the 280SL in the UK which may be why the car’s original owner chose to source it in Germany and consequently they are very rare over here which is a shame as the 'cammy' 2.8-litre and the four-speed manual box offer a much more spritely and sporting drive all round. Highly recommended.SpecificationMake: MERCEDESModel: 280SL MANUALYear: 1981Chassis Number: 10704220011030Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 110986-2005135Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 34284 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black/Grey PlaidClick here for more details and images

“They’re only original once”; one owner for 47 years, still factory finished/paint, fully recommisoned.105-series Giulia - the original light-weight sports-saloonOne Italian owner for almost 50 years, original paint and interior, never been apart nor weldedHigh-revving double overhead cam dual-carburetted alloy 1300cc engine, all-round disc brakes and a 5-speed gearbox1972 model with attractive metal grille and distinctively shaped boot lidRecent specialists’ report confirming its originality, plus £4,000 expenditure to recommission it for driving excellence; UK-registered and a full MOTA very rare find in this preserved stateBMW is often credited with inventing the modern sports saloon. By stuffing the potent 2-litre engine from its 2000C/CS coupes of the Sixties into a little Neue Klasse two-door, BMW created the iconic 2002. However, as with dentures, thermometers, and the carburettor itself, the origin of this new vehicle class may be better traced to the fertile land of da Vinci and Galileo: Italy.Some might credit the Alfa Romeo 1900 of the Fifties with starting the trend, but we submit that the requisite components didn’t really come together until Alfa’s subsequent release of the Giulia Super, which pre-ated BMW’s bite-size ‘bahn-burner by at least half a decade. And while the Bavarian made do with rear drum brakes, a single overhead-cam, single carburetted engine, two doors and only four forward speeds, the Alfa brought four-wheel discs, a high-revving double overhead-cam, dual-carburetted alloy engine, four doors and a standard five-speed gearbox.“So, it looks like a family saloon, but underneath the skin, it’s really a super touring car” says Santo Spadaro, a marque specialist and incurable ‘Alfisti’. Though the Giulia Super’s body may seem to follow the three-box paradigm, its aerodynamics were honed in a wind tunnel. “It actually has a lower coefficient of drag than the teardrop-shaped Porsche 911 of the same era,” Spadaro notes.The Alfa Romeo Giulia (105 Series) weighed about 1,000 kg and was equipped with a light alloy twin overhead-camshaft, four-cylinder engine, similar to that of the earlier Giulietta models range. Engine capacities offered were 1.3-litre or 1.6-litre. Various configurations of carburettors and tuning produced power outputs from about 80 to about 110bhp. Almost all Giulias made had a 5-speed manual gearbox and were noted for their lively performance among saloons of that era, especially considering the modest engine size. No wonder the Mini Coopers had trouble evading the chasing Giulia police cars in The Italian Job!The styling was quite straightforward, but with a great amount of detail. The engine bay, cabin and boot were all square shaped, but the grill, the rooflines and details on the bonnet and boot made for an integrated design from bumper to bumper.The car presented here is a second series (1972-1978) ‘Super 1.3’ example, being manufactured in 1972, so still features the more attractive metal front grille, characteristic centre spine, and shaped boot lid. In 1972 a rationalisation of the Giulia range saw the Super 1300 (Tipo 115.09) and the Super (Tipo 105.26) re-released as the Super 1.3 and Super 1.6. The two models featured the same equipment, interior and exterior trim, differing only in engine size (1290cc and 1570cc) and final drive ratio. A small Alfa Romeo badge on the C-pillar is a distinguishing feature, as are hubcaps with exposed wheel nuts. In 1974 Alfa dropped the Giulia name, with the model now being coined either a Nuova Super 1.3 or Nuova Super 1.6 which both featured a new black plastic front grille and a flat bonnet without the characteristic centre spine.This particular car has a fascinating story - AR 2275939 was delivered new from Milan to the Italian city of Pesaro in Marche to Senor Olimpio Gunnella on 30th June 1972. Olimpio adored his car, ensuring it was always garaged, literally only using it to go to church on a Sunday, notching up less than 2,000km a year, and taking it to a recorded 88,000km in 2021. The story goes, that on one of these weekly trips, it started to rain, so Olimpio simply turned the car around and drove it home, with church having to wait another week. Some 48 years later, and approaching 75 years of age himself, Olimpio took the decision last year, that it was finally time to part company with his precious car.Stories of such “auto-monogamy” are indeed most rare, not least when they are preserved so carefully in this way, but they are reflected in the immaculate originality of the car, from the underside to the interior, to the boot, and duly supported by a service history that includes 11 service stamps. The car is matching numbers, still in its factory Beige Cava paintwork, and has never required any form of welding.In 2001, the Alfa also received the formal Italian ASI Historical status and Certificate. In September 2020, our vendor managed to persuade Olimpio to sell to him the car, and on arrival in the UK immediately placed it with renowned Surrey based ‘DTR European Classic Car’ specialists, who carried out an independent and rigorous report across every aspect of the car from mechanical, bodywork and interior (copy available). Every issue identified, however minor, was addressed, costing c£4,000, and rounded off with a full service and MOT, again all on file. The car was then fully registered in the UK as ‘JMA 788K’, and nearly 50 years on, is fully prepared to embrace a second relationship.This ‘super’ Super 1.3 is everything an original and unmolested ’70s Alfa should be – full of character, style and lively to drive. Finding cars in this state of originality is still just possible in the quiet corners of Europe but is getting much harder. This really is one for the true ‘Alfisti’ – the passionate fans of these very special cars.SpecificationMake: ALFA ROMEOModel: GIULIA SUPER 1.3 SALOONYear: 1972Chassis Number: AR2275939 Transmission: Manual Engine Number: TBCDrive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 88000 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: BrownClick here for more details and images

UK-supplied with a manual gearbox, enjoyed by the first owner until 2018 and recently featured on Top Gear.First registered on the 3rd August 1993 as a demonstration car by Neville Johnston ToyotaBought weeks later by the car’s second keeper who owned it until 2018, prior to our vendorBelieved to be one of just 623 UK-supplied cars from a worldwide production of some 47,000The six-speed manual Mk 4 (A80) is recognised as the rarest UK-supplied car, one of just 200Extensive recent invoices are present as well as historical receipts and the service book With an odometer reading of 77,950 (atoc) this car has had over £20,000 of cosmetic and mechanical worksSuch is its condition and rarity it was chosen to headline Top Gear’s televised item on the Mk 4 Supra in 2019.The highly-anticipated, fourth-generation (A80) Supra was finally unveiled at the 1993 Chicago Motor Show after four years in development under the guidance of chief engineer Isao Tsuzuki, who had also worked on the first Celica and both generations of MR2. Unlike anything Toyota had produced before, the A80’s proportions and flowing design owed more to the 2000GT of the Sixties than its predecessor. With a long, low bonnet line and high-rise optional rear spoiler it was aerodynamically efficient and clearly aimed at delivering a much higher top speed. Allied to a simplified engine line-up of either naturally aspirated or twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre JZ-series straight-six offering between 220bhp and 326bhp, top-spec turbo versions with Toyota’s first six-speed gearbox now offered ‘supercar’ performance.With its sumptuous leather interior and blistering performance, the new Supra was aimed squarely at the Porsche driver, some of whom were tempted. The marketing department at Toyota perhaps underestimated the badge snobbery raging among affluent, yet conservative, petrolheads of the mid-1990s and although the Supra had the looks of a supercar, the refinement of a Mercedes-Benz and 0 to 60mph to rival the Ferrari Testarossa TR at under 5 seconds, initial sales were slow. Toyota UK officially imported just 623 cars between 1993-1996 and these were only sold from 25 specially selected dealers. Production continued until 2002 and the Supra was destined to be an important footnote in the sports car hall of fame until it became an icon to a generation thanks to computer driving games ‘Forza’ and ‘Gran Tourismo’ a status only enhanced by its regular, heavily modified, appearances in the Fast and Furious film franchise.Believed to have been one of 200 manual-gearbox cars, out of a total UK-supplied run of 623, this twin-turbo ‘hard-top’ car with its six-speed Getrag gearbox was delivered in Lucerne Silver Metallic (199) with Ivory Leather (F00). First registered to Neville Johnston Toyota in Belfast as a dealership demonstrator on the 3rd August 1993, it was subsequently purchased by a gentleman who used it regularly, with main dealer servicing up until 2002, until it was acquired by our enthusiast vendor in 2018.His fascination with the Toyota Supra began in 1993 when, at the age of fourteen, he wrote to Toyota UK asking for a brochure and two weeks later it was carefully given pride of place on his bedroom wall. When he had the opportunity to buy this car in 2018 he had fulfilled the dream so few people have attained, owning his bedroom poster car, made more special that his poster car was silver, like his newly acquired Supra. The brochure is now mounted and framed in his study.Upon acquisition in September 2018, he undertook an extensive programme of cosmetic and mechanical works to make it the best example possible to join his low mileage Honda NSX and modern Ferrari. The list is too extensive to state here but full details can be supplied together with corresponding invoices. Parts were either obtained via the main dealer or sent directly from OEM suppliers in Japan, no expense being spared to ensure this car remained true to the day it was built.The cosmetic works were carried out by a professional classic car restoration workshop taking several months to complete including a complete clean underneath and Waxoyl undersealing. A full bare metal glass-out respray in original factory colours and using no body filler was completed in 2019. The work provided an opportunity to fit many new parts including a new OEM Windscreen and rear three-quarter windows, lower radiator support, new door trims and seals plus many more. The total cost including all new parts came close to £20,000. It has also recently undergone a full paint correction and detailing with ceramic coating applied. Invoices are available for all of this work.The mechanical works were carried out at Jemca Toyota of Reading by their senior mechanic who has specific knowledge of working on Supras from his many years with Toyota. Particular attention was paid to the engine and auxiliary components. A new clutch and flywheel were installed in 2019 with the all-important timing belt change completed. New brake discs, calipers and pads to complement the virtually all-new suspension have been installed along with a full steering geometry check and, in addition, a recent compression test by Toyota showed excellent readings on all cylinders. Three services have also been completed during our vendor’s ownership all by Toyota, the most recent being in October 2020 with a year’s MOT applied and no advisories along with a full Toyota health check for peace of mind. A new air conditioning condenser has been installed along with a full a/c service and the system is fully functional.Such is the condition of the car, it was chosen to headline a segment in Series 27 of Top Gear and a clip of the item from Episode 5 can be seen below. A new Thatcham Category 1 alarm and tracking device has also been fitted along with four new premium Continental tyres. Presented to auction with an odometer reading of 77,950, at the time of cataloguing, the history file is one of the most detailed we have seen for a modern car and includes the most recent receipts, original owner’s wallet with the service book together with period brochures and two keys.We are of the firm belief that this Supra is among the best examples available today and its rarity is only surpassed by its condition. SpecificationMake: TOYOTAModel: SUPRA 4TH GENYear: 1993Chassis Number: JT164JA800002565Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 2JZ0189786 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 77950 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: CreamClick here for more details and images

A stunning, low mileage example of the rare R8 Plus Quattro V10 S-A.Powered by a naturally aspirated 610bhp, 5.2-litre V10 that revs to a howling 8700rpmGenuine Supercar performance with 0-62mph in 3.1seconds and 205mphFinished in Ara Blue Crystal Effect with black quilted leather and blue stitchingIt has only covered 8,500 miles, just 2,300 in the last two yearsVery high spec car with £15,000 of optional extras from new (£148,000)This is essentially a Lamborghini Huracan in a German business suitThe second generation of the R8, having the model code Type 4S, was unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show and is based on the Modular Sports System platform shared with the Lamborghini Huracan. The development of the Type 4S commenced in late 2013 and was and was completed in late-2014 with initial models including the all-electric e-Tron and the V10 5.2 FSI along with the V10 plus.Unlike its predecessor, there was no manual transmission available and the entry-level V8 trim was also dropped. The new R8 came with an updated new look on the outside and radical changes to the interior including the new interactive cockpit dashboard that tailors everything to driver involvement. The body is lighter and stiffer, due to the substitution of several large aluminium parts in the shell by carbon fibre. Extra electronics are incorporated in the chassis as compared to the first generation to improve handling and the R8 Plus is fitted with the 5.2-litre V10 that produces 610bhp, a 60bhp increase over the first generation plus offering 0-60 in just 3.2 seconds, all controlled by Audi's famous Quattro drive system.On offer today is a stunning example of the R8 Plus Quattro V10 first registered on the 1st of July 2016, finished in Ara Blue Crystal Effect with a beautiful black quilted leather interior and the seats stitched in Blue to complement the exterior. The car was highly specified from new and came with the following options,Driver assistance packCruise controlReversing cameraSound and Comfort packIlluminated door sill trimsBang and Olufsen sound systemFull leather packageSport plus packFull sports exhaustAudi Magnetic rideDynamic steering and 20” 10-spoke ‘Y’ alloy wheelsIt’s accompanied by its original Audi Book Pack and has been maintained by Audi Halesowen since new. Our vendor has covered a mere 2,300 miles in the last two years which is the main reason for the sale of this very special Audi and being retired, he feels the time is right to downsize! The car drives as you might expect given that it’s only four years old, has covered a tiny mileage and has been fastidiously maintained, however, on the way down to the auction house, an oil service requirement within the next 25 days was flagged up (time period requirement not mileage) so this will need doing. There is a quotation sent from Audi Halesowen in the book pack for £400.00 to undertake this requirement and this will be allowed for at the point of sale.The R8 Plus V10 is one of the most usable well-rounded supercars in the world today and it’s also one of the most engaging. The naturally-aspirated 5.2-litre V10 revs to 8700, by which point it’s howling like a Grand Prix engine of past times, handling is sublime, the state-of-the-art electronics keep everybody safe and Audi’s build quality is legendary. This lovely Ara Blue example has covered less than 9,000 miles and having cost over £148,000 new just over four years ago appears very sensibly guided. It definitely warrants consideration.SpecificationMake: AUDIModel: R8Year: 2016Chassis Number: WUAZZZFX0G7901069Transmission: AutoEngine Number: CSPA002448Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 8500 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Designed by Larry Shinoda and under the guidance of the legendary Bill Mitchell, influences on the Sting Ray’s unique and unforgettable form are said to include the E Type, a Mako Shark once caught by Mitchell, the Q Corvette concept car of 1957 and the Mitchell Sting Ray design exercise. By the Autumn of 1959, elements of the two unique Corvettes had been built into XP-720, the design programme that led to the production of the Sting Ray (later changed to Stingray) as we know it.1965 UR, originally registered here as JGU 31C arrived in the UK in 1988 from Newburgh in Indiana, shown by the original US Title documentation in the history file, and being a 1965 model was fitted with the newly available, four-wheel disc brakes and power steering. Finished in Goldwood Yellow with Black leather interior, this colour was only available for one year only making this car even more desirable and collectable. This delectable Sting Ray has won many Club and Concours awards in the States and over here in the UK and a large number of these trophies will remain with the car. It’s been featured many times in magazines including a 7-page spread in Classic and Sports Car, June 2014.Supplied with a comprehensive history file showing the care and expense lavished on this special motor car, and includes 20 old MOT Certificates, the current MOT valid until November 2021 with No Advisories, many old Tax Discs and a plethora of invoices from both suppliers and garages. A recent addition to the car was a complete set of five brand new wheels at huge expense and indicative of our fastidious vendor’s attention to detail. A lovely feature is the original, fully working dashboard radio fitted from new which we are told rarely work in these cars and to replace, if you can find one, are around £1,500.This is a simply delightful example of a C2 Sting Ray in a rare and attractive colour. It may not be everyone’s choice of Sixties Classic and it definitely wouldn’t suit a ‘shrinking violet’ but it’s an iconic and powerful sports car that does everything that Italian exotics do, but at a third of the price. Things don’t fall off, you won’t need a trickle charger, a cambelt change every three days or a bloke with a BSc. to change the plugs and, when we are finally allowed out again, you can ‘woofle’ down the High Street on a sunny afternoon and people will look at you and think California and Fonzie and ‘Happy Days', and they’ll feel better.SpecificationMake: CHEVROLETModel: CORVETTE C2Year: 1965Chassis Number: 194375S113341Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 5113341Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 47700 MilesMake: Only LHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

However it was the C2, the immortal Sting Ray produced between 1963 and 1967, that really set Chevrolet's cash registers ringing and left us with the most desired and collectable Corvette to date. Designed by Larry Shinoda under the guidance of the legendary Bill Mitchell, influences on the Sting Ray's unique and unforgettable form are said to include: the E-type Jaguar, a Mako shark once caught by Mitchell, the 'Q Corvette' concept car of 1957 and the 'Mitchell Sting Ray' design exercise. By the autumn of 1959 elements of the two unique Corvettes had been built into XP-720, the design programme that led to the production of the Sting Ray (later Stingray) as we know it.There were a number of drive train options available including four ‘small block’ V8 engines, three transmissions, and six axle ratios and the new Corvette was available as a fastback coupe as well as the traditional convertible. Detailed changes were made through the years, with the first of the ‘big block’ engine options arriving in 1965, the same year four-wheel disc brakes became standard.The fabulous Corvette C2 Sting Ray Coupe presented here is a matching-numbers, example manufactured at the A.O. Smith plant in Ionia, Michigan on the 5th January 1965 and fitted with a ‘small-block’ V8 built at the Flint engine plant on the 28th December 1964. The file has a copy of the original sales invoice for US $4,900.88 from Schwyn Brothers Chevrolet of Michigan to a Mr Frank Tennant on January 22nd 1965.Originally finished in Nassau Blue, the same livery it sports today, it’s fitted with dual side exhausts, an exceptionally rare option present on just 759 Sting Rays from this model year, and sits on a set of immaculate centre knock-off wheels wearing lightly worn BF Goodrich Silvertown “Goldlines”. Under the bonnet, lurks a 327ci. (5.4-litre) ‘Turbo-Fire’ V8 producing 300bhp mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox. The engine bay presents well with a red-painted block, chrome rocker covers and a chrome air filter dish. The Corvette’s interior is well presented in body colour with blue vinyl, matching carpets, lots of chrome bezels and an attractive Teak steering wheel surrounding the traditional cross flags on the boss. We understand that the car was imported into the UK in 2015 in a fully restored condition, however, the previous owner, a member of the National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS), spent a further £13,000 on the chassis in 2016 and he now describes the body, chassis, and suspension restoration work as being close to ‘show quality'. The car is UK registered and is complete with its V5C and reprinted original ‘dispatch data’ from the US. It’s on the Corvette Register and has been a regular and popular attendee at numerous club events and indeed won 1st Prize at the Classic American Car Show Tatton Park July 2016 – “Best Classic Corvette”.The below bullet points show the love and attention the car has received by its two UK owners since it arrived here27th April 2016.

Rotisserie restored Challenger R/T with a 440 six-pack and manual gearbox.This 1970 R/T has been superbly restored in the US prior to being detailed to perfection in the UKFinished in Alpine White with a black roof and interiorFitted with a 440 six-pack and four-speed manual gearbox with a pistol grip shifterShipped to the UK in late 2018 and registered a year later when it had been detailed to the impressive level our vendor required50,273 miles indicated and recently MOT’d (February 2022)This is a superbly presented, well-engineered piece of AmericanaOffered here from the golden age of American muscle cars is the infamous Dodge Challenger R/T 440 Six Pack. For its introductory year in 1970, the Challenger was available in two series, Challenger and Challenger R/T and three models, two-door hardtop, Special-edition two-door hardtop, or convertible. The performance model was the Challenger R/T (Road/Track) with a 383ci (6.3l) Magnum V8 rated at 335bhp, however other engines were optional including the legendary 390bhp, 440ci (7.2L) Six-Pack. The RT was fitted as standard with a 'Rallye' instrument cluster that included a 150mph speedometer, an 8,000rpm tachometer and an oil pressure gauge. A 'shaker' hood-scoop was an option but was not available after 1971.In popular culture, the Challenger will always be associated with 'Vanishing Point', the 1971 American action film that starred Barry Newman as Kowalski, a disaffected ex-cop and part-time racing driver attempting to deliver a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T440 Magnum to California. It's now a cult movie but the Challenger is undoubtedly the star of the show. As a nod to Kowalski’s car, this example has been finished in gleaming Alpine White with a black vinyl roof and black graphics. Subject to a full ‘rotisserie’ restoration in the US and then perfected by one of the UK’s top restoration workshops, it can only be described as undoubtedly one of the best Challengers available today. In the history file is the original Chrysler Corporation build sheet and further notes from the US records confirm that, pre-restoration, it was a very well preserved example requiring only a new boot lid to ensure that the shut lines were perfect. As is often the case with a rotisserie rebuild, the underside is show-quality, remarkable. Naturally, the interior was fully restored to a factory-fresh standard and the original ‘Rallye’ instrument cluster was rebuilt.This RT originally came from the factory with a 335bhp engine but during the restoration it was converted to a 440 ‘Six Pack’. The original specification and build date of September 1970 lists high vinyl bucket seats, black vinyl roof and automatic transmission but it was more appropriate to mate the ‘new’ 7.2-litre with a four-speed manual gearbox complete with the iconic ‘pistol grip’ gear change.The car was shipped to the UK in late 2018 and registered a year later when it had been detailed to the impressive level our vendor required. The odometer currently indicates 50,273 miles and the car is accompanied by some US history, its Operators Manual and a fresh MOT valid until February 2022.Undoubtedly one of the best available anywhere and a must for any cult muscle Mopar collection.SpecificationMake: DODGEModel: CHALLENGER R/TYear: 1970Chassis Number: JS23NOB112248Transmission: 4 SPEED MANUALEngine Number: TBADrive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 50500 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: BLACK VINYLClick here for more details and images

Brand spanking new 10-year FIA HTP, on the button and simply glorious.From 37-year ownership in California including original registrationImported in 2002 and built by Steve Smith of Vibration Free Bicester as an endurance racer (six year build)289ci (4727cc) V8, 396bhp, massive spec (details below)Competed in the Spa 6-Hours and the Nürburgring Oldtimer Grand PrixEngine refreshed in 2009 and little use sinceSmartly presented and well-detailed history file (build and life story)Retains complete interior, UK-registered and MOT valid until December 2021Brand spanking new ten year FIA HTP (CT10). Expires 31/12/2030Outstanding quality and condition, on the button, ready to go and simply gloriousThere can’t have been many 17 year-olds that woke up on the morning of their 17th Birthday to find a shiny new Ford Mustang parked on the drive, but Kim Lee of 1560 Parrot Street in San Diego, California certainly did. It was a 1965 Mustang Hardtop finished in Honey Gold with a ‘Black Luxury’ interior and powered by a 2-valve, 289ci V8. He obviously appreciated the gift as he was to retain the car until 2002 covering over 77,000 miles in his beloved Mustang. Pleasingly, the original US Registration Document and Owner’s Manual remain with the car secure in the fascinating History File.Substantially rust-free, as are most California cars, the Mustang was imported into the UK in 2002 by Steve Smith of ‘Vibration Free’ as the basis for creating a competition car suitable for historic endurance racing and comprehensive details of the build and preparation are in the file. The bodyshell was fully stripped and seam-welded prior to being delivered to Andy Robinson Race Cars for an FIA specification roll-cage to be welded in. It was then carefully prepared and superbly finished in Guardsman Blue Metallic with white 'Daytona' stripes a colour scheme originally used on the 1965 racing debut of the Daytona Cobra Coupé. The 289ci (4,727cc) V8 engine was built to the correct FIA specification and is currently rated at 396bhp. It has an all-steel billet bottom-end with forged racing pistons, MLS head gaskets, Tim Adams camshafts and valve train. The fuel system incorporates an 80-litre foam-filled tank that feeds the Holley mechanical fuel pump and Holley Performance 650 double-pumper carburettor through braided hoses. To keep everything cool there is a high-capacity, five-row, copper radiator with remote header and bleeds to the rear of heads, electric fan and new heater matrix. Power is fed to the rear wheels through a Borg & Beck clutch assembly and a four-speed gearbox with a Hurst shifter to the Andy Robinson rear axle with 3.55:1 Gripper differential. At an engine speed of 6,500 rpm, this relates to a top speed of 145mph sitting on a set of Minilite 15" alloys shod with Avon Sport 205/70/R15 tyres.The remit was always for the car to be kept UK road-legal and was built as an Historic Endurance Competition Touring Car with FIA Appendix ‘K’ regulations in mind so consequently the car’s interior was restored with its original Deluxe interior with Pony upholstery, rear seats, radio, centre console, interior lights, and has had new wool carpets fitted. It also boasts tinted windows, a functioning heater, and remotely operated wing mirror. Everything works as intended, right down to the interior lights. To bring the car up to race spec, it’s fitted with Willans five-point harnesses, a hand-held fire extinguisher and Racetech oil temperature, oil pressure, water pressure and fuel gauges replace the standard items in the original “Rally Pac” mounting. Twin ‘Lamda’ gauges run off sensors fitted to the downpipe of each bank of cylinders.It took six years to build this car and, we understand, it was used for its designed purpose for a few years taking part in the Spa 6-Hours, lapping the circuit in 3 minutes 9 seconds, the Nürburgring Oldtimer Grand Prix and other events. We believe that the engine was refreshed after the 2009 Spa meeting with new bearings, rings and gaskets.​​​​​​​Within the history file is a list of the car's equipment at this point;Suspension lowered, uprated and Poly-bushed with double adjustable shock absorbersHeavy-duty front spindles and bearingsShelby castor-kit and front anti-roll barKelsey Hayes four-pot brake callipers with short distance pistons to accept long-distance padsBrake linings and pads to competition specificationAndy Robinson rear axle with 3.55:1 Gripper differentialFour-speed gearbox with Hurst shifterBorg & Beck clutch assemblyFIA-compliant competition specification engine, dynamometer tested at 396bhp80-litre foam-filled fuel tankFive-row high-capacity copper radiator with remote header tankElectric cooling fanHi-po cast-iron exhaust manifolds3" twin stainless steel exhaust system with crossover and effective silencersWillans five-point harnesses (x2)Hand-held fire extinguisherRacetech gauge packTwin Lambda gauges35psi oil pressure warning lightQuad PIAA driving lightsIt seems that ABW 140C was used on the road in the intervening years and there are regular MOTs up until 28/06/2016@ 82,640 miles prior to being purchased by our vendor in April 2019. Within the informative file are 13 invoices from PT Classics of Maldon, Essex dated between August ’19 up until 21/12/2020, totalling £20,823 clearly detailing the attention that this car has received in our vendor’s ownership. These invoices are professionally presented and essential reading for any prospective purchaser. It was freshly MOT’d on the 15th of December but, more importantly, the car’s brand spanking new FIA Historic Technical Passport arrived a few days later. Dated 18/12/20 and valid until 31/12/30, the Mustang qualifies as a Competition Touring Car (CT10), Period F; 1962-1965.It appears that no expense has been spared by our vendor returning this car to sparkling health. It is simply glorious, no other word will do. A UK, road registered, FIA Mustang that’s on the button with a long MOT and 10-year HTP is probably as good as it gets and this well-prepared example in iconic colours should provide a Classic Touring Car enthusiast with endless fun until the time comes when we are all told to stop running around in petrol-powered cars.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: FIA MUSTANGYear: 1965Chassis Number: 5R07C233947Transmission: ManEngine Number: 5R07C233947Drive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

The ultimate Mustang of its day; with the same US family for 39 years; 2017 MOCGB Champion & Classic American Concours winner.A desirable S-Code car with its original engine transmission and rear axle and matching Marti ReportOriginal GT Equipment Group car, with the four-speed Top loader transmission and Equa-Lock differentialFactory-fitted with the powerful 390ci (6.4-litre) FE V8 engine, making it the ultimate Mustang of its day, yet more subtle than the cars it inspiredThe factory-built S-Code cars formed the basis of the more flamboyant 1967 Shelby GT 350 and GT 500 modelsFascinating history, owned by the same US family until 1986Very original with the benefit of a top-quality restorationThe 2017 MOCGB Champion and the Classic American Concours ChampionFrom the day it hit the streets in April 1964, the first iteration of Ford's Mustang has proven to be a success beyond measure. Even if you do not particularly count yourself as a Mustang fan, the appeal of the inaugural ‘Pony Car’ is readily apparent. Good looks, three body styles and price points that spanned a wide spectrum were just some of the reasons for their popularity and the 1965-'66 Mustangs were the precursor of even greater things to come.Stiff competition loomed for 1967 in the form of the Camaro, Firebird, Cougar, and a redesigned Barracuda, so perhaps it made sense for the Mustang's first major update to coincide with the other manufacturers' significant debuts. Regardless, the stakes were sky-high for Ford's design and engineering teams, who were hard at work on the redesign even as the original 1965 models debuted. From the outside, the 1967 Mustang shared many of the proportions with the previous model, whilst the overall look was much more aggressive, with a deeper and larger grille, a forward-jutting hood, sharply creased side body lines and a distinctive concave tail lamp panel.Beyond its appearance, the addition of the big-block 390 "Thunderbird Special" engine to an otherwise unchanged engine line-up proved a game-changer. Previous Mustangs weren't designed to house anything bigger than a 289ci but the 1967 redesign widened things up under the bonnet making room for the venerable ‘FE’ engine family, the 390 in Mustang and the 428 in the GT 500, in turn moving the Mustang into the realm of legitimate muscle cars. A second distinct change was the wider array of optional equipment that could turn a bare-bones Mustang into a veritable personal luxury car and the litany of options, both inside and out, offered the possibility of personalising your car almost to the point where no two looked alike.This 1967 Ford Mustang 390 GT encompasses many of the best features on the new Mustang’s options list including that racy fastback body, the GT option, 320bhp 390ci V8, 4-speed top-loader transmission and Equa-Lock differential and the striking colour combination of Candy Apple Red and a Red Deluxe interior.According to the Marti Report, it was built at the Dearborn Plant on the 9th of January 1967, fitted with the 390 FE engine and destined for stock at Joe Dye Motors in North Platte, Nebraska. Ford’s Mustang ‘stocking plan’ dictated that certain numbers of body shapes / engine size / transmission combinations had to be available at all times and this frequently meant that some cars, particularly the top-end models, may not sell for a month or two despite the huge demand for the model as a whole.The car is an original GT Equipment Group car, with the 4-speed top-loader transmission and Equa-Lock differential. Basically, a factory-built sports car with no options other than power steering – a factory-built ‘sleeper car’ you might say. These S-Code cars would go on to be the base car for the 1967 model-year Shelby GT 350 and GT 500.The car sat on the ‘lot’ for a few months until its first owner was given $2,000 from his college fund by his father to go and purchase a car for college. Dad assumed that the son would return with a nice 1950’s Chevy and a substantial amount of change, however, $2,000 in his pocket and the gleaming Candy Apple Red Mustang outside Joe Dye Motors was to prove a tad too much temptation and the 390 had its first owner. The son brought the car home to show his father, and poor old dad had only two options, insist he took it back or work out a way to pay for it but, inevitably the Mustang joined the family and ‘Junior’ took a job selling Pizza to help pay for it.The car stayed with the family in daily use until 1986 when it was reduced to occasional trips. It was then put into storage for ten years until 1996 when the son began a ten-year-long piece-by-piece restoration. Every original part was either reconditioned or replaced with a Ford NOS part with the exception of the passenger- side wing which was the only replacement body panel. In 2006, the restoration was near completion, but the decision was made to sell the car to fund a property purchase. The Mustang was purchased by a UK collector and was only driven a couple of times over here with the intention to complete the restoration, but then sat for a further 10 years in his collection.Our vendor then found the car for sale through the Mustang Owners Club GB and brought it for his wife, subsequently completing the restoration to the standard that you see today. The quality of the workmanship and detail was such that it was crowned the 2017 MOCGB Champion and, in the same year, the ‘Classic American Concours Champion’, a coveted prize presented at the NEC. Since that point, the car has been driven regularly through the Spring and Summer months and kept in a heated garage.This stunning S-Code, Mustang GT has been checked over by specialists ‘Mustang Maniacs’ of Hertfordshire and fully serviced ready for sale. It’s accompanied by the history file containing the Marti Report and remains in simply remarkable condition. If you are in the market for one of the best Mustangs currently available, look no further, you will not be disappointed.  SpecificationMake: FORDModel: MUSTANG FASTBACK 390 GTYear: 1967Chassis Number: 7F02S141611Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 141611 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: RedClick here for more details and images

The DB6 Mk 2 Vantage is one of the rarest David Brown era Aston Martins and the culmination of over a decade of engineering advancement.Chassis # DB6MK2/4256/R is one of only 71 DB6 Mk2s equipped with the Vantage engine by the factory when newSeemingly always a cherished example with several AMOC Concours successes in the 1970s and 1980sFinished in the beautiful colour combination of British Racing Green with Natural leatherAn original factory manual transmission example, the car retains its matching numbers Vantage engineSignificant recommissioning by Aston Martin Works including an engine overhaulOffered at a very competitive guide price and presented to auction freshly MOT’d with its V5 and an interesting history fileConsidered by many to be the last 'real' Aston Martin, the DB6 was launched in 1965 and replaced the DB5. The wheelbase was now 4" (100mm) longer than before, resulting in an extensive restyle with a more steeply raked windscreen, reshaped rear quarter windows, and a raised roofline which made the rear seats considerably more viable. Opening front quarter lights made a reappearance, but the major change was at the rear where a 'Kamm' tail with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. The Tadek Marek-designed, six-cylinder engine, which had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5, remained unchanged and the power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp.By 1969, Aston Martin was winding down production of the DB6, which was now over a decade old, and as attention turned towards the newer, more modern-looking DBS, Aston Martin unveiled a final swan song - the DB6 Mk 2. Mechanically, the Mk 2 was largely unchanged from its predecessor; the Borg & Beck clutch plate was replaced by a 10.5-inch version, and the, previously optional, power-assisted steering was now fitted as standard. Both the ZF five-speed manual gearbox and the automatic transmission were available; however, a new option of Brico fuel injection was offered and fitted to just 46 cars. Visually, the new Mk 2 benefited from several DBS components utilised to keep costs down while subtly upgrading the look of the DB6. Most recognisable of these upgrades was the wider 8.15×15-inch Avon wheels, which necessitated flared front and rear wheel arches. Previously optional three-ear knock-offs were fitted as standard, and the interior was redesigned to more closely resemble the DBS - including trimming the front seats with pleated leather.As was customary for Aston, the Vantage engine was available as an option to those owners who wanted that extra power boost. Having evolved from the DB4 Special Series engine first seen in 1961, Vantage engines were fitted with three Weber carburettors instead of the standard two. In the highest ‘C’ state of tune, the DB6 Mk 2 Vantage engine now produced 325bhp as compared to the standard 282bhp.This very rare, desirable and simply lovely DB6 Mk2 Vantage was manufactured in April 1970 and records show that it was sold by HR Owen in London and registered in September 1970. The car was supplied by the factory with the Vantage engine and ZF manual transmission options, and was originally finished in Burnt Almond with an interior in Natural leather.It seems the car remained a cherished example throughout its life as the Aston Martin Owners Club (AMOC) Register notes that #4256/R enjoyed several club Concours successes in 1979, 1985, and 1986. Although it is unknown when the car adopted the lovely shade of British Racing Green it wears today, we imagine it was a regular at AMOC events and competed in many Concours events over the years, in addition to the events at which it was awarded a prize.More recently, the DB6 was acquired in August 1997 by an Aston Martin Owners Club member who resided near Birmingham, and he kept it for thirteen years until its most recent owner acquired it directly from them in May 2010. Soon after purchase, the Vantage was exported to the Middle East where it joined their significant car collection and remained on display in perfect storage conditions.Upon the cars return to England in 2018, Aston Martin Works were tasked with carrying out a significant recommissioning of the mechanicals, including an overhaul of the original Vantage-specification engine. Pleasingly, the work was carried out by Aston Martin technicians in the same facility in which the car was originally constructed.Of the 240 DB6 Mk2s produced, only 71 had the Vantage engine from new and less than half of those were right-hand drive saloons with a factory-fitted manual gearbox, which makes this example a very rare car. The Aston presents well in a delightful colour combination with a classic DB interior which proudly displays its original radio. We feel the car is competitively guided given its rarity and recent recommissioning by the ‘Works’. Freshly MOT’d, this beautiful DB6 is ready to be enjoyed by its next lucky owner.SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB6 MK2Year: 1970Chassis Number: DB6MK2/4256/RTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 400/4629/VCDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Tan LeatherClick here for more details and images

A rare, right-hand drive, manual gearbox, Mk2 with a very competitive guide.The rakishly elegant DB6 Mk2 was the ultimate evolution of David Brown’s iconic blood-line of 1960s thoroughbred Grand TourersThe Mk2 benefited from a host of detail changes and looked more purposeful with its wider tyres and gently flared archesRecently been cared for by world renowned experts, Aston WorksA full interior re-trim included in the extensive work carried outPresented to auction with MOT, History file and a NOVA CertificateAn exciting opportunity and worthy of any inspectionEntering production in July 1969, but not formally unveiled for another month, the rakishly elegant DB6 Mk2 was the ultimate evolution of the iconic Aston Martin DB4/DB5/DB6 line. Sharing the same sheet steel platform chassis with its immediate predecessor complete with all-round coil-sprung suspension (independent double-wishbone front, trailing arm/beam axle rear), four-wheel disc brakes and Armstrong 'Select-a-ride' adjustable rear shock absorbers, the newcomer nevertheless incorporated a host of detail improvements. Sharper and more responsive to drive thanks to wider wheels and fatter tyres (hence the need for its trademark flared wheel arches), the Mk2 also benefited from the provision of standard-fit power-assisted, rack and pinion steering. Automatic transmission remained a `no cost' option, whilst cars equipped with the five-speed ZF manual gearbox gained a lower first gear ratio and more positive Borg & Beck clutch.The fabulous Tadek Marek designed 3995cc DOHC, straight-six engine could be had with a nascent form of electronic fuel injection, however, the majority of buyers wisely opted for carburettor-fed variants in standard (triple SU, 282bhp) or high-performance Vantage (triple Weber, 325bhp) tune. Indeed, so troublesome did the AE Brico EFI system prove that several Mk2s were converted to Vantage specification by the factory. Revised seating, both front and rear, meant that the last of the classic DB-Series family could also lay claim to being the most comfortable. Only in production until November 1970, just 239 DB6 Mk2 saloons are thought to have been made (of which a mere 122 were, reputedly, to triple SU carburettor-fed specification).A copy build sheet from the accompanying history file lists chassis ‘4135/R’ as being delivered new to Halesowen in October 1969 with the reg number ‘WYL 150H’. The document also states this car was originally delivered in Celeste Blue metallic with a dark blue Connolly hide interior (although the bodywork is now finished in dark blue) and was specified from new as a ‘DB6 MK2 ZF Saloon spec’ and supplied with ‘Two front seat belts’, which were optional at the time.It appears this example spent time in collections throughout its life abroad but returned to these shores two years ago and has since been looked after by Aston Works in Newport Pagnell, the same facility in which the car was originally built. There are various invoices detailing the work carried out on the car available to view in the accompanying history file and its worth noting that ‘4135/R’ was the lucky recipient of a full interior retrim by ‘Works’ last year.Presented to auction with a fresh MOT (expires 11th Jan 2022), the aforementioned history file and a NOVA Certificate, which therefore means the new owner (if wishing to keep the car in the UK) will need to register it once again with the DVLA.A Mk2 in right-hand drive, with a ZF manual gearbox, benefiting from lots of recent attention at Aston Works is a very desirable motor car and at this very competitive guide price, 4135/R is an exciting opportunity and worthy of any inspection.SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB6 MK2Year: 1969Chassis Number: DB6MK2/4135/RTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 400/4372Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 95000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Navy LeatherClick here for more details and images

Possibly one of the finest Series 2 E-Types available today.Returned from the US in early 2012 and registered here on 08/10/2012Converted to right-hand drive and meticulously restored by our vendorDeliciously finished in liquid Jaguar Dark Blue with a classic red leather interior and red carpetsFitted with a Jaguar five-speed manual gearbox from Guy Broad (original four-speed supplied with the car)Fully re-chromed. New chrome wire wheelsGood (recent) history file with invoices for all the work completedJaguar continued to develop the E-Type throughout its life and the first results of this programme of improvements were introduced in 1964 when the newly enlarged 4.2-litre XK engine was installed. Maximum power remained unchanged at 265bhp, however, torque was usefully increased which, combined with the arrival of a fully synchronised Moss gearbox and more consistent fuel flow from the twin SU petrol pumps, contributed greatly to smooth progress.The Series 2 of 1968 was a further quantum leap with an improved cooling system and better Girling brakes addressing those, less than endearing Serious 1 characteristics, of getting too hot and not being able to stop. The Series 2 also introduced several design changes, largely due to U.S. Federal legislation, and the most noted exterior features are the open headlights, a larger grille opening, re-positioned and larger front indicators and rear lights below the bumpers. The 4.2-litre XK power straight-six now featured ‘ribbed’ cam-covers, whilst inside there were better seats with head-rests, new switchgear and the ignition switch was now on the steering column.According to its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, SMW 288G was originally supplied in Regency Red with a black leather interior to Jaguar Cars of New York before returning home in early 2012 and being registered here on the 8th of October 2012.Our vendor duly set to and completely stripped the car to a bare shell prior to having it converted to right-hand drive, professionally prepared, primed, freshly top-coated and then delivered back to his workshop where the arduous task of the rebuild began, all completed by himself. The car was finished in Jaguar Dark Blue with a brand new Red leather interior, a rare combination surprisingly, because the result is simply spectacular. Mechanically, the car is as it left the factory with one exception. Our vendor purchased a Jaguar 5-speed gearbox from Guy Broad, Jaguar Specialists and then enlisted Retro Marques of Strensham to install it, the total cost of which was nearly £5,000. (the original gearbox which is fully functioning is available from the vendor should any potential buyer wish to revert back to 4-speed). Looking through the history file there are receipts totalling thousands of pounds for all the new parts used to build this car including all the parts to convert to right-hand drive.All of the chrome work was stripped back and restored by Chrome Restoration Services of Exhall in Coventry and replacement parts were supplied by David Manners, Martin Robey, SNG Barratt and XK Engineering amongst others. To finish off, a brand new set of Chrome Wire Wheels were fitted and a new Mohair hood. The underside of the Jag and the engine bay both present really well, engendering confidence.A delightful example of the civilised Series 2, almost Concours standard and welcome anywhere.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: E-TYPEYear: 1968Chassis Number: 1R7054Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 7R1124-9Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: RedClick here for more details and images

Fastidiously restored and totally correct, a new chapter in NAN 175s compelling life story awaits.Distributed via Henlys to R. P. Powell Motors Limited of Forest Gate, East LondonDelivered to first owner Dr. Kenneth McCrea on 20/03/1958Just three recorded owners since, including one single ownership for some 45 yearsOffered for sale by the family of prominent Jaguar collector and historic racer, the late David HamRetaining original cylinder block and gearbox, and accompanied by original cylinder headExtensively restored, including £8,500 respray and full engine rebuild with Rob Beere fast-road specification cylinder headAccompanied by its JDHT Certificate and current and buff logbooksUnveiled at the 1955 Earl’s Court Motor Show, the Jaguar Mark 1, then referred to simply as the 2.4 litre Saloon, marked a new departure for Jaguar, both in mechanical and philosophical terms. The first production Jaguar to feature a monocoque chassis, it was powered by a new de-stroked version of Jaguar’s highly successful 3.4-litre XK engine, which had already scored three Le Mans wins in five years and had proved central to the success of the company’s sporting XK120 and XK140 models.Noticeably more compact and agile than the contemporary yet somewhat confusingly-designated Mark 7 saloon, it aimed to access new markets on both sides of the Atlantic by positioning itself as a highly affordable family car, at just £1,442 including taxes, which offered spirited performance. During the next four years, over 37,000 examples were built, of which just over half were 2.4-litre variants similar to that offered here.Originally distributed by Henlys of London to Jaguar agents R. P. Powell Motors Ltd. of Forest Gate, East London, this particular example was delivered to its first owner Dr. Kenneth McCrea of Upminster, Essex on 20 March 1958. Finished in the timeless Jaguar colour combination of British Racing Green with Tan leather interior, the car was completed to Special Equipment specification and boasted the superior and very welcome four-wheel disc brake option afforded to later Mark 1s, in place of the four-wheel drums fitted to early series examples.Dr. McCrea kept the car for a little over three years, before selling it to near neighbour Ronald Waitworth of Purfleet, Essex in April 1961. Mr. Waitworth retained the car a further seven years, before ownership passed to Nicholas Mackenzie of Queen’s Gate, London SW7 in March 1968. Remarkably, Mr. Mackenzie kept the car for the next 45 years, its occasional use and later long-term storage accounting for its remarkably low mileage of just over 74,000 when offered for sale in 2013.At this point, NAN 175 was acquired by prominent historic racer, the late David Ham, to join his collection of other significant Jaguars, including his treasured Lister-Jaguar, coincidentally a car of the same year of manufacture, and one which he too had owned for some 45 years. Having been looking for “the right” Mark 1 for some time, he reasoned that NAN 175’s highly original condition, short ownership chain and comparatively low mileage were all decisive factors in its purchase.Unsurprisingly, significant signs of ageing, both bodily and mechanically, had begun to emerge by the time the car had entered its seventh decade, and consequently Mr Ham and his loyal part-time mechanic embarked upon a comprehensive restoration. Mercifully, Mr Mackenzie’s sympathetic ownership had ensured that, unlike with so many other Jaguar saloons, nothing had been done to disguise or conceal the areas of corrosion, which made diagnosis of the problem areas refreshingly straightforward. Subsequently, extensive repairs were made to several of the Mark 1’s known areas of weakness, including the rear spring hangers, jacking points, sills, footwells, front wheel arches, front head and sidelight surrounds and the front strengthening brackets (also known as ‘crow’s feet’).Mechanically, the car had been well preserved, although it was considered prudent to rebuild the engine whilst removed from the car to facilitate the body repairs. A complete bottom end overhaul, including a cylinder block skim and re-bore, was carried out by marque specialist, Martin Adams, at a cost of £2,264. During the course of the engine strip down, some localised heat damage was identified to the original cylinder head and it was decided for both originality and economic reasons that the original item would be preserved and a replacement sourced. Consequently, a Rob Beere Racing-built, polished and ported ‘B-series’ cylinder head with SU carburettors was procured from M & C Wilkinson at a cost of some £1,800, this being fitted to the newly built bottom end prior to its reinstallation in the car. It should be stressed that the original cylinder head accompanies the sale.Once the body repairs had been effected, a bare metal respray was carried out by Retford Autofinishers at a cost of some £8,500, which included further metalwork repairs to the base of all four doors, and refurbishment of the car’s distinctive rear spats. Further areas of expenditure included the fitment of a new brake servo, refurbishment of all four brake calipers and the restoration of the car’s original radiator with modern high-efficiency core by Anglia Radiators; the latter at a cost of some £500 alone.Sadly, Mr. Ham passed away in early 2016, and whilst he did see the car taxed and roadworthy, there remain a small handful of outstanding jobs which require completing before full restoration “sign off” can truly be achieved. These include the fitting of a new set of interior carpets, calibration of the manual choke mechanism, troubleshooting of the ancillary electrical systems and fine tuning of the engine and newly-rebuilt SU carburettors, the latter ideally being performed on a rolling road.Often overlooked, somewhat unjustly, in light of its successor the Mark 2, it is noteworthy that the Mark 1 saloon tips the scales almost 200 kilograms lighter than its younger counterpart, and offers superior rarity value given that almost 84,000 of the later model were constructed. Evoking a vintage and hand-built feel on account of its more intimate interior, smaller glass area and relatively restrained use of chromework, not for nothing has the earlier car been referred to as a “four-door XK”.Perhaps best characterised as a car where the vast majority of the restoration “hard yards” have already been covered and, crucially, the myriad of Jaguar body restoration pitfalls circumnavigated, this highly correct and original example has been restored to its last-named owner’s exacting standards, and is ready for final commissioning to the new owner’s personal preferences. Eminently usable and extremely versatile, a new chapter in NAN 175’s compelling life story awaits. SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: MK1 SE 2.4Year: 1958Chassis Number: S910130DNTransmission: Manual Engine Number: BC 5088-8Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Tan Click here for more details and images

A driver-focused XK120, fresh from a two-year restoration, with some choice upgrades.The XK120 Roadster - as elegant as XK Jaguars can ever beA landmark Jaguar sports car and the world’s fastest production car in its daySourced specifically from the US by Jaguar specialists for restoration/enhancementTwo-year nut and bolt rebuild, now in RHD with added driving enhancements (including power-steering, disc brakes, uprated suspension)Beautiful colour combination of California Sage paintwork with a Biscuit interiorRecently finished, shaken down and ready to enjoyA car-starved Britain, still trundling around in perpendicular pre-war hangover vehicles, glimpsed the future in October 1948 with the launch of the Jaguar XK120 at the Earls Court Motor Show. Production commenced in 1949 in Coventry, and the XK's swoopy shape and stylish occupants would become a common sight on British roads over the next 15 years. It heralded the arrival of Jaguar's famous 3.4-litre twin overhead camshaft XK engine, (the basis of all their engines for the next 25 years) with an alloy cylinder head and twin side-draught SU carburettors producing nearly 160bhp. The “120” referred to the car's top speed which, at the time, made it the fastest production car in the world. Jaguar seems to have always had a flair for marketing and to illustrate that the car's top speed was not a figment of a publicist's imagination, in May 1949, on the Jabbeke to Aeltre autoroute, an XK120 with its hood and side screens in place recorded a speed of 126mph, and no less than 132mph with the hood and windscreen detached and an undertray fitted. The car was in almost instant demand and when on to spawn the famous XK lineage of fast and elegant sports cars.The car offered here is a 1952 Jaguar XK120 OTS (or Roadster) which has been meticulously restored from the ground up over the last two years by long-established Jaguar and Bentley specialists ‘DJB Engineering’ of Northamptonshire. The father and son team that run the company imported this car from the US specifically for this project. The car’s Heritage Certificate tells us that this particular XK120 OTS was manufactured on the 20th of May 1952 and was (unsurprisingly) LHD originally, fitted with a manual gearbox and painted Suede Green with matching interior and a French Grey hood. It was sold through Jaguar distributors, a Hornburg of Los Angeles, to its first owner, the pleasingly named, Mr K McCorkle.Converted to right-hand drive and with fully renewed bodywork, adopting a fast-road/racer aesthetic, the car now looks simply resplendent in Aston Martin California Sage, by craftsman Steve Chandler, with a Biscuit interior by Workshop 77 of Weedon Bec. Knowing the potential of these early XKs as proper driving machines, DJB Engineering also ensured this car has had some sympathetic upgrades beneath the skin. Fitted with a full stainless-steel exhaust, a 5-speed gearbox, adjustable shock-absorbers, hydraulic power-steering, polyurethane suspension bushes, hard passivated suspension components, an external oil cooler, larger volume radiator with an electric fan, and full servo-assisted disc brakes with Coopercraft billet calipers, this car is now extremely capable. Added to this, the lustful 3.4-litre XK engine has been fully rebuilt and dressed, with an overhauled cylinder head fitted with a new composite head gasket and new timing chains installed.During the restoration, simply no corners were cut, and the car features virtually every available improvement to make it most exciting to campaign. Photographic records show every stage of the process, literally from the prepared chassis and up. The car has been ‘shaken-down’ with road trails and performs as well as it presents. Father and son were sorely tempted to hang on to their recently finished car, such is its appeal and ability, however, a new project awaits.The XK120 OTS was hugely influential in period and has an elegance of line that would be completely at home on the manicured lawns of Pebble Beach, however, there is no denying that, in standard form, the 1940’s mechanicals are a touch ‘agricultural’. This superb example, on the other hand, with its intelligent upgrades drives, brakes and handles like a ‘modern classic’ offering, we believe, the best of both worlds. SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XK120 OTSYear: 1952Chassis Number: 672237Transmission: ManualEngine Number: W5009-8Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Biscuit Click here for more details and images

Chassis-up professional restoration just completed to the very highest of standardsReturned from the US around 10 years ago with a total rebuild in mindTotal, professional, nut and bolt, chassis up restoration to the very highest of standards. Only 24 miles covered sinceFinished in Autumn Red with a beige hide interior and matching hood, tonneau and side screensSuperb attention to detail throughout. Possibly one of the best on the road todayNow ready for that trip to the pub that we are all longing for or even a spell in the concours arenaAlthough, instantly recognisable as a T-Series Midget thanks to its perpendicular radiator shell, flowing wings and rear-mounted spare wheel, the TD broke important new ground for the Abingdon marque. Although based on the existing Y-Type chassis, it was the first MG sports car to feature independent double-wishbone front suspension and rack and pinion steering and the new model also boasted a hypoid-bevel back axle, a scuttle reinforcement hoop and twin leading-shoe front brakes.With a track of 50 inches, it was around five inches wider than its predecessor, the TC, which always a little ‘cosy’. Powered by the proven 1250cc XPAG engine allied to a four-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg. Riding on fifteen-inch steel “easy-clean” wheels as standard, the TD also sported a mirror-image dashboard (thus facilitating either LHD or RHD production) and chrome-plated bumpers. In July 1951 the 1250cc XPAG engine received a new block, a new sump, a new bell-housing and a new flywheel in order to accommodate a larger clutch. The engine number prefix was changed to TD2, and MG TDs fitted with this engine have subsequently become known as TD2 models, A great success story, the vast majority of the 29,665 cars produced were sold overseas mainly to the States.The simply delectable TD2 on offer here was one of those US-bound cars and was imported from there by its present owner approx around 10 years ago, with a total rebuild in mind. The little MG was basically sound but a little tired and was ripe for restoration, however, other projects got in the way and it was a further six years before the restoration commenced. All’s well that ends well, as the TD has recently been completed after a total, professional nut and bolt, chassis up restoration to the very highest of standards and presents as possibly one of the very best on the road today.Finished in the rare factory colour of Autumn Red, the standard of finish is exceptional even down to the door shuts and nooks and crannies. The interior is also a delight in Beige leather with Beige Rexine on the dashboard, white-faced Jaeger instruments, Bakelite switches and a four-spoke Bluemels sprung wheel. The only minor difference from standard being the body-coloured grille slats which should match the interior trim colour but in reality, appear as if designed that way. Nothing remains untouched, with engine, gearbox and final drive being rebuilt, a full rewire and total re-chrome alongside a new hood, tonneau cover and side screens. The attention to detail is textbook and even the underside is of show quality. Whilst the MG remains left-hand drive, all mounts and fixing points remain in place to allow for easy conversion to right-hand drive should the next custodian wish to follow that path. With only minor shake-down runs undertaken so far, a period of running-in is highly recommended to extract the best from this stunning TD.Not to be confused with the average, this particular TD will be equally at home either out on the open road or in the Concours arena.SpecificationMake: MGModel: TDYear: 1952Chassis Number: XPAGTDLHX9332Transmission: ManualEngine Number: LHX9332Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 42394 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: Beige LeatherClick here for more details and images

A well-documented and well-built racing car with lots of potential.Presented in superb overall condition and expertly prepared for competitive racingThe 5.6-litre V8 engine has recently been rebuilt by fellow racer Simon LaneGearbox has just been rebuilt by Simon Green motorsportComprehensive history dating back to 1992 with supporting pictorial storybookEligible for CSCC Future Classics, AMOC Intermarque and recently raced in Bernie’s V8’sAs the 1960s roared on, so too did the introduction of a new generation of powerful, big block V8   saloon cars in the United States that came to be known as 'Muscle Cars'. Ford claimed 'bragging rights' with its dramatic new Mustang, destined to become one of the all-time greats, whilst other 'Motor City' favourites included the Dodge Charger, Pontiac GTO, Plymouth Barracuda and the Chevrolet Camaro. Introduced in 1966, the Camaro was offered in 2-door form with both coupé and convertible body styles to choose from, as well as a range of different engine sizes, and trim and styling packages. Top of the pile at Chevrolet was the macho Z28 powered by a rumbling 302cu.in. 5-litre small-block V8 and this was their chosen contender for the battles that lay ahead... Whilst salesman in car dealerships across the States fought it out for units sold, Chevrolet decided that it wanted to take the fight to Ford on the race tracks of America and prepared cars that complied with the 'Group 2' regulations drafted for the Sports Car Club of America Trans-American Series allowing cars with up to 5.7 litre engines to compete. Famous Camaro drivers included Mark Donohue, ex-F1 pilot Ronny Bucknum and Jerry Thompson. It was Donohue though, who took the spoils in the 1968 and '69 seasons driving a Penske-prepared Camaro with utter domination in the Trans-Am series. It wasn't long before European teams and drivers spotted the successes of their American counterparts and these cars soon appeared at race circuits across Europe.The story with this particular car started in 1992 when a 1967 road legal Chevrolet Camaro was sourced with the intention of building it into a race car to compete in the HSCC Improved Road Sports Championship. The car later ran in the Historic American Racers Association series run by paddock favourite Bernie Chodosh, where this example was often seen at the sharp end of the grid. For many years the car was enjoyed and raced before being subsequently sold and campaigned by other owners. Fast forward a number of years where the racer who originally built this Camaro re-discovered it languishing in a unit and decided to buy his old car back. A full rebuild of the car ensued, this time with the help of his son, who was now of the age to drive and who proved a decent ‘pedaler’ going on to much success. Sporting a 5.6-litre V8 engine, which has recently been rebuilt by fellow racer Simon Lane, the car runs a 4-speed manual gearbox. An ATL aluminium fuel tank resides in the boot, and we suggest all potential buyers of the car satisfy themselves as to the legality and currency of all safety equipment on board including seats, harnesses and fire extinguisher.Supplied with a hardback book put together by a previous owner showing a pictorial history of the car along with a decent file, this American Muscle-car has clearly been welcomed back into the family with lots of attention and provided years of happy racing memories. A potential candidate for gaining FIA papers, this car will get you on to the grid in the AMOC Intermarque Series, Bernie’s V8s and CSCC Future Classic and with the growing interest in ‘muscle cars’ from this era, will be welcome anywhere.  SpecificationMake: CHEVROLETModel: CAMAROYear: 1967Chassis Number: Not SpecifiedEngine Number: Not SpecifiedDrive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: Black ClothClick here for more details and images
