A lovingly-restored, very well cared-for example of America’s most recognisable muscle car, presented in fabulous condition.From its VIN number, we can establish that this Mustang is a Hardtop (coupe) built in 1966 in San Jose and is an A code car meaning that it was optioned with the 225bhp, 289ci, 4-valve V8.It’s in outstanding mechanical condition, owing partly to its careful refurbishment in Texas before being brought into the UK. Finished in Silver Blue Poly, it’s fitted with the 3-speed automatic gearbox and was optioned from new with the GT Equipment Package.Mechanically, the car benefits from a recent engine rebuild in 2022 with American car specialists, Tornado Automotive, Buckinghamshire, with over £5,000 invested. During our vendor’s eight-year ownership, it has always been looked after, serviced and maintained by Tornado with a no-expense spared approach, including yearly servicing and MOT testing for peace of mind, despite being exempt.Beyond its impressive mechanical prowess, the car cosmetically presents remarkably well. Just prior to its arrival in the UK in 2015, it went through a thorough refurbishment by Fontain/Alex Green, 'The Mustang Specialist', which entailed a hugely impressive list of jobs, all on file. The car was fully resprayed in Silver Blue including the engine bay, body, and boot. The list is significant and needs to be read to understand the extent of the parts and labour that went into this mini-restoration. Unusually, for a car from the US, its history is well documented and can be traced back to Texas with a plethora of bills and invoices on file for work undertaken.The Mustang is an emblem of automotive history and an icon of American muscle. Its legendary status and popularity are well-deserved, as it offered a unique blend of performance, style and affordability. This particular Mustang, with its outstanding mechanical and cosmetic condition, stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of the model and is offered at a very sensible guide.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: MUSTANG GTYear: 1966Chassis Number: 6R07A233061Registration Number: UCA 378DTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: A-CodeDrive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 56360 MilesMake: Only LHDInterior Colour: Deluxe Pony CreamClick here for more details and images

**Please note the registration number is CFX542 not CFX 452 as erroneously catalogued.**Sympathetically restored, this classically-presented little TC is ready to go. A landmark in the history of MG, the TC was the first British sports car to sell in serious numbers globally, proving a huge success in America where it paved the way for generations of Triumphs, Austin-Healeys and numerous others. Launched in 1945, the TC may have been a mildly revamped version of the short-lived TB, but the formula of traditional sports car styling, sparkling performance and affordability made the latest MG a winner, with some 10,000 examples rolling off the production lines at Abingdon over the next five years. Some useful modifications were made to the TB’s suspension, with new shock absorbers and conventional springs in place of the sliding trunnion set-up of the pre-war model. The willing 1,250cc four-cylinder engine produced 54bhp at 5,200rpm, delivered to the rear wheels through a 4-speed gearbox with synchromesh on second, third and top. With its upright radiator, separate wings and a fold-flat windscreen, the MG’s steadfastly traditional appearance bucked prevailing styling trends, lacking amenities like bumper bars or even a heater – all of which only seemed to enhance the TC’s appeal to hardy sportscar drivers around the world. This charming 1947 MG TC was fully restored between 2002 and 2005 and the quality still shines through providing the gentle patina that we all admire. The ground-up restoration included blasting the chassis and finishing with a high-quality powder-coat topped with a new Hutson body tub. At some point the original engine has been replaced with a 1,359cc unit (B9898) and XPAG Engineering carried out a full rebuild on this engine and gearbox. The car is fitted with the improved steering box and updated rear axle seals, and was treated to a four wheel geometry set-up. The interior was retrimmed in Tan leather and looks splendid with its original Jaeger instruments and Bluemells sprung wheel and it has a full set of weather equipment including a half-tonneau. It wears a correct Lucas FT27 fog light and the high-level brake light is removeable for the sake of originality. Finished in the best colour for post-war Britain and a timeless design that still cuts the mustard.This well-sorted MG TC represents the best of post-war light sportscars and still catches the eye. Start arranging your driving tours and include a meet at Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb - quintessentially English like this lovely MG.SpecificationMake: MGModel: TCYear: 1947Chassis Number: TC/2870Registration Number: CFX 452Transmission: ManualEngine Number: XPAG/B9898Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

With only 150 miles since a comprehensive restoration with input from Alfaholics and Classic Alfa amongst others, this 2-litre Spider looks almost 'showroom fresh'. 1970s open-top motoring does not come much better than this.A modern classic by Pininfarina, the simple-yet-elegant 'Kamm tail' Spider bodywork, which premiered on the 1970 Spider Veloce Series 2, would prove enduringly popular, lasting into the 1990s. The Spider's mechanics were essentially those of the Giulia with independent front suspension, a coil-suspended live rear axle, and four-wheel servo-assisted disc brakes, whilst the engine was the Giulia Sprint GTV's 1.6-litre, double-overhead-camshaft four. The twin-Dell Orto equipped 2-litre Spider Veloce (105.27) arrived in 1971. Wind tunnel testing resulted in the 2000's signature drag-reducing Wunibald Kamm-designed 'Coda Tronca' tail, while improvements over the earlier Duetto models included bigger brakes and a limited-slip differential. Other changes were not so easily spotted. The windscreen was more inclined, leading to additional modifications and adorning the front was a new heart-shaped grille and revised bumpers. Several other detail changes were made before production changed to the Series 3 in 1982. Outstanding speed, acceleration and handling were all characteristics of this class-leading model, which nevertheless possessed a remarkable docility, even at high speeds.According to its Certificate of Origin, this original right-hand drive 2000 Veloce was originally supplied on 20th May 1975 and onwards to its first owner on 4th June 1975. It's been the subject of a recent extensive restoration and now presents superbly in a gleaming coat of Alfa Rosso over a classic black interior and is supplied with an extremely rare factory hardtop. The extensive rebuild was not purely cosmetic, but far more in-depth, ensuring that this example now stands head and shoulders above the average. Works included a full body refurbishment and an engine and gearbox rebuild incorporating new carburettors, electric fuel pump and electronic ignition at which point it was fully set up on a rolling-road. Further restoration included a total suspension and brake overhaul, a new fuel tank, and a full retrim including door cards, seats, carpet and hood, all set off by a glorious set of Alfaholic GTA-style alloys. With renowned Alfa Romeo specialists Alfaholics and Classic Alfa amongst others, having had a hand in the restoration, this outstanding Spider is ready to be enjoyed once again and with just 150 miles covered since completion, a period of 'running-in' is highly recommended to achieve the very best from this ever popular 1970s convertible. Accompanied by a large history file including restoration invoices and a ‘Certificato Di Origine’, your early inspection of this Alfa Romeo is highly recommended and encouraged to fully appreciate the opportunity available.

If you had to reverse-engineer back to a driving experience second to none, you would stop in 2010 with the 997 Turbo S.The facelifted version of Porsche's 997 Turbo was unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. It was fitted with a completely new 3.8-litre engine generating a maximum power output of 530bhp, thanks to revised Borg-Warner variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbochargers, whilst the optional 7-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox replaced the Tiptronic. With PDK and the optional Sport-Chrono package, which includes the availability of electronically controlled launch control and an over-boost function for temporarily increasing the turbo-pressure, Porsche claimed the 911 Turbo would accelerate from 0-62 mph in 3.4 seconds on its way to a staggering 194mph.Porsche has traditionally raised the appeal of the 911 Turbo during the latter part of its lifecycle with a heavily-optioned S model, and the 997 Turbo is no exception. The twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre engine of the regular Turbo model was subtly tweaked to boost performance and received a nominal 1.0 bar of boost (against 0.8 bar on the standard version) along with lightly modified turbocharger vanes and a carbon fibre air manifold endowing the S with 530bhp and a continuous (not over-boosted) 516lb/ft of torque. That's 30bhp and 37lb/ft more than the standard Gen II Turbo, resulting in a class-leading (at the time) 0-62mph in 3.1 seconds, although the top speed remained unchanged.Finished in Carrara (Marble) White with contrasting black leather and the Sport Chrono Package, this Turbo S will ultimately be seen as an engineering masterpiece. It represented the ultimate in performance with sledgehammer acceleration and an engaging drive. If you had to reverse-engineer back to a driving experience second to none, you would stop in 2010 with the Turbo S. Matched to that, add superb reliability and drivability and you have probably the most involving Porsche to date.Supplied new by the Porsche Centre Edinburgh, it comes complete with its dealer book pack, a complete service record and both keys. It was last serviced in September 2022 by Porsche Centre London and has covered only 200 miles since then, with a total mileage of only of 34,198.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: TURBO SYear: 2012Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99ZDS760067Registration Number: SM12 WMDTransmission: AutoEngine Number: SD00519 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 34000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Superbly presented, a 4.7-litre Mk1A with lots of STOC ownership history.Designed in part by renowned American car designer and racer, Carroll Shelby, in an attempt to raise the declining fortunes of the Rootes Group, the Tiger was penned around the popular Sunbeam Alpine bodyshell with V8 motivation to compete successfully in world markets where larger capacity engines and sports car styling were at the forefront of late 1960s motoring. Codenamed 'Thunderbolt', the whole project took place without the knowledge of Lord Rootes and when he found out he got 'very grumpy' by all accounts, although he had the good sense to get a prototype shipped to Coventry and was deeply impressed with the car when it arrived. Shelby had envisaged assembling them in America as he had done with AC Cobras, however Rootes opted to pay him a royalty on each unit and use West Bromwich-based Jensen Motors to build the cars, as they had spare capacity having just ceased their Volvo P1800 assembly contract. A total of some 7,085 Sunbeam Tigers were eventually produced, including 536 of the, now, very rare 4.7-litre Mk2 versions which arrived in 1967. The final cars rolled off the lines in 1968, production being shelved when Chrysler took over the Rootes Group, their new bosses unable to sanction a car powered by their arch-rivals, Ford.The car presented here is a 1966 Sunbeam Tiger Mk1A (the interim model just prior to the commencement of the short-lived 4.7-litre Mk2) and we understand (from our vendor) that it was sold new in Germany, probably to a US service man (formerly LI-111250). It's accompanied by much period paperwork, showing it was imported into the UK in October 1970 (hence first registered here in November 1970 and assigned EPA 160J) by a prominent member of the Sunbeam Tiger Owners Club. According to a copy of its original UK green logbook, it passed through a few owners in the 1970s (Mr Michael Smith, a Mr Jonathan Webb). By early 1979 there are invoices to a Mr Green, these were perhaps on behalf of its owner, a Mr Paul Douglas, who used to treat the car to specialist parts he would order from the US - there are numerous invoices/receipts (for both Mr Green & Mr Douglas, often c/o The Sunbeam Tiger Club) in its history file throughout the 1980s for maintenance/upgrades (in February 1980 it was treated to a 2.88:1 ration LSD). Numerous old MOT Certificates (spanning from 1975 until 1993) attest to the engine upgrade, possibly happening in 1977/78.By September 1983, it was owned by a Mr Derek Maunders before being bought (in December 1984) by a Mr John Burger – who kept the car right up until our vendor bought it in June 2021. Mr Burger ensured the car was in fine fettle, having it painted in January 1997, and then employing the skills of RS Cars Ltd. of Bedfordshire (in April 2009) to the tune of £11.984.98 for a thorough recommissioning, and then for more work in September 2011 (£2,179.90). Our vendor bought the car in June 2021 for £54,000 via Sunbeam Spares (who also carried out some work on the car) from Gavin Burger (who we believe is John’s son).During our vendor’s ownership, he has fitted an Edelbrock fuel pump whilst also upgrading the car with a completely new braking system, including BCC dual-calliper brakes. The fuel system is also new, the tanks having been stripped and resealed. The wheels are brand new original 15'' Minilites shod with brand new (fitted July 2021/few hundred miles covered since) Yokohama Advan Fleva tyres. He has also fitted a new Moto-Lita steering wheel with a matching gear knob. The car has an indicated 28,596 miles which our vendor believes to be genuine, since it only covered a few hundred miles between MOTs for many years.Tigers are becoming increasingly popular and are notoriously tricky to find in good order, making this a great opportunity to own a fully-restored example. With all the hard work and big bills addressed, just turn the key, enjoy the soundtrack and, if values follow the trend of other Anglo-American sports cars, this could turn out to be a rather smart investment.SpecificationMake: SUNBEAMModel: TIGER 1AYear: 1966Chassis Number: B382002069LRXFERegistration Number: EPA 160JTransmission: ManulEngine Number: C40E-6015-F Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 28372 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

A wonderful Lux example wearing its original colours and presented in wonderful condition.Launched at the 1968 International Auto Show in Frankfurt, Germany, the BMW 2002 was a notable model in the company's history, credited with helping to establish BMW's reputation for producing sporty and compact luxury cars. Following the standard 2002’s success, BMW launched the 2002 Tii in 1971, again at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Designed by the legendary German engineer, Wilhelm Hofmeister, it quickly gained popularity for its remarkable performance and handling. The 2002 Tii was specifically built to offer a more dynamic driving experience, whilst boasting a fuel-injected 2-litre M10 engine with a rating of 130bhp, delivering a top speed of 118mph yet maintaining practicality for everyday use, solidifying its status as a timeless classic in BMW's history.The 2002 Tii Lux is a rare find, with only 3,680 right-hand drive Tii models ever produced, and just a limited number equipped with the luxurious Lux package, which offered enhanced interior features including wooden accents, a padded steering wheel, velour-covered seats, and other home comforts.Under the bonnet, this car has a mechanical Kugelfischer fuel injection system, which contributed to its impressive performance. The forward-leaning stance and low waistline along with the large glasshouse provide the 2002 Tii Lux with a purposeful appearance and excellent all-round visibility.Acquired by its current owner in August 2014, this BMW has received meticulous care and attention. Although there is no history file from prior ownership, invoices indicate ongoing maintenance and restoration work carried out over recent years. Notably, the car underwent a repaint between 2016 and 2017, giving it a factory-correct Golf Yellow finish, a testament to the owner's commitment to preserving its authenticity.The car comes with its Owner's Manual, two sets of keys, a spare wheel and the factory jack, making it ready for its next owner to enjoy. With just 13,000 miles on an unstamped BMW replacement engine, this rare and sought after 2002 Tii Lux is sure to impress collectors and enthusiasts alike, offered at a hugely enthusiastic price point.SpecificationMake: BMWModel: 2002 TII LUXYear: 1975Chassis Number: 2771017Registration Number: LLL 935PTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 2771017Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 14048 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

A well-restored, very rare 970S, further developed by Richard Longman for 'fast road' work, yet retaining a substantial amount of originality.The Mini Cooper soon established its credentials as a rally and race winner, and the stage was set for even faster versions. The more powerful Mini Cooper 1071 'S' appeared in 1963 and quickly became the basis for competition-focused models. Larger disc brakes, more luxurious upholstery and discrete 'S' badges on the bonnet and boot were subtle upgrades with the real changes made to the adaptable A-series engine. With competition in mind, particularly the British Saloon Car Championship, in 1964 Cooper produced two 'S' models, the 970 and 1275 aimed clearly at the under-1,000cc and under-1,300cc BSCC classes respectively. The road-going 970 'S' was a real 'Homologation Special' with its 'revvy' little short-stroke engine producing over 65bhp but it was expensive to manufacture, so BMC made it a 'special-order' model, and consequently, very few were sold (with even fewer remaining today). The 970 'S' was only produced from June 1964 until April 1965 and with just 963 examples supplied, of which 397 were badged Morris, it's one of the rarest and most sought after Mini models.According to the accompanying Heritage Certificate, this Morris Mini Cooper S Mark 1 970cc was a right-hand drive, home-market car, finished in Fiesta Yellow/Old English White, built on 7th December 1964 prior to being despatched two days later to BMC Dealers, Phil Read of Torquay, and onwards to its first owner. The interior was listed as 'blue and gold' (Powder Blue and Gold Brocade) and the only option selected appears to have been a fresh air heater.We move forward to 2012 when DAP 93B was treated to a sympathetic restoration by well-regarded specialist, John Barker, and needed only a nearside front wing and outer sill before being finished to a high standard in its original Fiesta Yellow and Old English White. The interior was retrimmed in the correct Powder Blue/Gold Brocade material by Newton Commercial including a pair of new front recliners and a new set of NC carpets (the original seats and carpets will be included in the sale). It sits on its original 3.5" Cooper S steel wheels, which are now very rare. The mechanical aspects of the restoration were the responsibility of Richard Longman and included lowered Hydrolastics with additional front gas dampers, adjustable track control arms, negative camber, competition bump stops, a straight-cut, close ratio Longman gearbox, competition diaphragm clutch and a 'Power-Lok' limited-slip diff. The engine was fully rebuilt by Longman engineering and now measures 999cc. Development included a polished and ported cylinder head with 11:1 compression ratio, uprated valve springs and rockers, balanced and lightened flywheel, Works-spec twin H4 carbs with trumpets and a Downton exhaust manifold. A rolling-road print-out from 2019 shows that the car at that time was producing around 64bhp @ 6,000rpm.The MOT History shows that the indicated mileage in February 2007 was 45,453, however in June 2010 it was 18,172 which suggests a change of speedo head, and Subsequent MOTs indicate a few hundred miles a year up until its present indicated mileage of 23,559. As well as the BMIHC , DAP 93B is supplied with its V5C, several old MOTs and Tax discs, some image prints of the body during restoration and a copy of Mini World Magazine May 2021 featuring this very car in their 50 years of the Mini Cooper feature.Enthusiast-owned for the last four years, this rare 59-year old 970 S, one of only 397 wearing the Morris badge, must be of consideration and your inspection at the Silverstone Classic is welcomed. Although developed primarily for fast road work, this delightfully restored 970S does retain a substantial amount of originality and, in our vendor's own words 'This car needs to be driven to fully appreciate what fantastic fun it is'.SpecificationMake: MORRISModel: MINI COOPER 970 'S'Year: 1964Chassis Number: KA2S4550899Registration Number: DAP 93BTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 9FSAX/29817 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 23559 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

An original, HR Owen-supplied, right-hand drive, 3-litre QV beautifully presented in classic Ferrari colours.Launched at the 1980 Geneva Auto Salon, the Mondial was the first Ferrari to depart from the company's familiar three-digit naming scheme, and its name was inspired by their famous Mondial sports-racers from the 1950s. The Mondial saw Ferrari return to Pininfarina as its choice of styling house, and it was sold as a mid-sized coupé, and eventually a cabriolet. Conceived as a more usable model, offering the practicality of four-seats with the performance of a mid-range Ferrari and hopefully attracting a slightly wider audience than their traditionally more focused two-seaters. The car was not built as a monocoque in a conventional way, but instead, the steel outer body was produced by the famous Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Scaglietti, just down the road in nearby Modena, and clothed a lightweight steel box-section space frame. The Mondial was the first Ferrari where the entire engine/gearbox/rear suspension assembly was mounted on a detachable steel sub-frame, making engine removal for a major rebuild or cylinder head removal much easier than it had been on earlier models. Of the 1,145 coupé QVs built between 1982 and 1984, just 152 were in right-hand drive, with fewer still finding themselves on British roads.Supplied new by HR Owen, Middlesex, in February 1985, this original UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 3-litre QV is presented in stunning Rosso Corsa with Nero leather and Nero carpets and is fitted with a 'sports' exhaust. Our vendor purchased the car from a respected Ferrari Specialist in March 2018 and it has been annually serviced by them since then. Indicating 48,876 miles at the time of cataloguing, the Mondial is accompanied by a good history folder, containing a breakdown of servicing and MOTs carried out on the car from new, the original leather wallet, book pack and tool kit. B76 XOW features as the lead image and is mentioned in the text in a recent issue of Autocar magazine (31st May 2023).This beautiful QV is offered to auction with a fresh service and cambelt change by the aforementioned Ferrari Specialist at the request of our vendor, and an MOT until March 2024, issued with no advisories. Your viewing of this well-maintained Ferrari is highly recommended.

In late 1967, talented designer, Giuseppe Rinaldi at Carrozzeria Francis Lombardi, was given the underpinnings from a Fiat 850 and a box of sharp pencils, and this diminutive GT was the delightful result.Carlo “Francis” Lombardi had achieved eight kills in Italy’s struggle against the Austro-Hungarian Empire, including a reconnaissance flight some 100km deep into enemy territory. After the war’s culmination, he found he hadn’t tired of adventure and so undertook a series of long distance flights, including Vercelli (near Turin in northern Italy) to Tokyo, in an 85hp aircraft. Although aircraft design was his first love, there was no market for his services in post-war Italy so he turned his attention to designing affordable, small motor cars with plenty of Italian style for which there was a market (and still is). Setting up his own company in Vercelli, 'Carrozzeria Francis Lombardi' based most of their designs on existing Fiat chassis, most often the 850. The 1968 production release of the Grand Prix model was the coachbuilder’s most well-known contribution to on-land motoring, although with production lasting just four years, only a small quantity of these stunning little machines were ever manufactured.Achieving a claimed 99mph from an 843cc engine, the top speed statistic of the Lombardi Grand Prix, clearly owed much to Carlo Lombardi's knowledge of aerodynamics. Introduced in 1968, the Grand Prix was built around a Fiat 850 floor pan. Utilising the 843cc inline-four, rear-mounted engine—which had previously achieved a top output rating of 37hp—the Grand Prix retained the 850’s four-speed, rear-engine, rear-wheel drive configuration. The styling however, couldn’t have been more different. The in-house design was done by Giuseppe Rinaldi, and featured a steel unibody with a Kamm tail and a long, low bonnet that culminated in a sharp nose panel, with electrically powered retractable bucket headlights—“pop ups”— a very modern addition for the time. These were constructed from fibreglass, as was the rear fascia and dash panel. Front suspension included traverse leaf springs below, with control arms above, and coil-sprung semi-trailing arms on the rear. According to a press release at the time, it was good for 47bhp at 6400rpm and 43lb ft of torque at 3600rpm. That might not sound like much, but the car weighed only 625kg so 100mph was just about possible.The Grand Prix adventure finally came to a juddering halt in 1971 when Fiat refused to supply platforms directly. The company folded in 1973, its founder dying 10 years later aged 85. As for how many cars were made in any of the Grand Prix’s many varieties, estimates suggest around 500, perhaps a few more.According to its accompanying Fiat Classiche 'Certificato Di Origine', this little Lombardi is listed as a 100GB Fiat 850 and dates from October 1970.There is also documentation which relates to the export of the car dated 08/05/ 2018 which fits nicely with the UK V5C which indicates that it was first UK-registered to renowned Maserati specialists, Bill McGrath Ltd, on 01/07/2018 before becoming the property of our vendor. From the file we can see that a set of number plates, FMW 627J, was ordered in August of 2018 but, from the file, it appears that the car wasn't recommissioned by McGraths until October and November 2021.This work mainly involved consumables, engine mounts, bushes, wheel cylinders, water pump, wheel bearings, fluids, filters,belts, discs and pads etc. and invoices detailing this are in the file. The 13" cast-alloy Campagnolo wheels were refurbished and fitted with a set of new Cinturatos on 24/11/2021 and very few miles have been covered since.Known as 'the little Miura' in period, there are design cues in there from Monteverdi, Iso and Ferrari and it appears a little like a scaled-down 'supercar', apart from the fact that the term didn't exist then. The car is in excellent overall condition and we encourage your inspection of this diminutive Lombardi. Should you be the lucky purchaser, we can provide a suitably sized carrier bag to take it home.

Number 54 of only 99 UK-supplied, right-hand drive Giulia convertibles, professionally restored in the past and now awaiting your inspection.Launched in 1963, the Giulia Sprint GT featured classically stylish four-seater coachwork designed by Bertone's Giorgetto Giugiaro. Beneath the skin, the new coupé utilised the recently introduced 105-Series Giulia TI saloon's all-synchromesh, 5-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension, coil-sprung live rear axle and - early cars excepted - all round Dunlop disc brakes. The Sprint GT offered a healthy 106bhp from its 1,570cc version of Alfa Romeo's all-aluminium twin-cam, inline-four, breathing through two twin-choke Weber 40DCOE 4 carburettors.Quite rightly, the Giulia Sprint GT remains a very fashionable and in-demand classic car to own and drive, noted for their good looks, driving enjoyment, and ease of tuning, with values having increased significantly in recent years. Building further on this appeal, but adding rarity, bespoke coachwork and wind-in-the-hair motoring to the mix, there is a Giulia model built between 1964 and 1966, with just 998 examples plucked from the Arese production line and sent to expert coach-builders 'Touring' at Nova Milanese to be subtlety transformed into svelte four-door cabriolets, a model known as the Giulia 'GTC'.With its roof removed, its floor strengthened, a slightly more sloping tail, larger boot, wind-up rear quarter-lights, and a hood that folded unobtrusively into a recess behind the rear seats, the GTC was the consummate Italian soft top. At a heady £2,000 when new, Alfa Romeo were sufficiently confident of GTC sales in the UK that it commissioned a small production run of just 99 examples in right-hand drive form.This rare Alfa Giulia GTC, finished in Alfa 105 Rosso, is the 54th of those 99 right-hand drive cars produced with possibly only 12 known to still exist. It was comprehensively restored some years ago by Richard Norris and Justin Banks of Alfaholics with an engine rebuild completed by Bob Dove. The body rebuild utilised a complete set of NOS body panels, but not before the chassis and sill sections were strengthened to address the inherent scuttle shake for which the GTC is known. This was followed by a complete retrim in black hide topped off with a replacement hood. Now, some years later, it's evident that the delightful Giulia has been well-cared for by subsequent owners and still presents superbly not only in terms of its looks, but also mechanically having been constantly maintained, as and when required, by its present long-term custodian.

A full-spec and faithful RS2000 recreation, striking in Daytona Yellow with Ochre decals and offering great value.With their Escort doing so well in the rallying world, it made sense that Ford would try and sell developed versions beyond the usual homologation specials. The job of creating more widely-produced fast Escorts was left to Ford's new Advanced Vehicle Operations based in Essex.Following up on the RS1600 of 1970, which was quite a specialist car that demanded a lot of care and attention, came the Mexico and RS2000 which were far more suited to the man in the street. In June 1973, the Mexico was supplanted by the RS2000. The car fitted nicely into the AVO line up with its performance almost comparable to the complex RS1600, but with the same reliability and ease of maintenance as the Mexico and, importantly, the RS2000 utilised the same Type-49 body shell as the Mexico and RS1600. The RS2000 was the first Escort to be powered by the overhead cam four-pot, as Ford decided that their 2-litre Pinto engine was to be used in the new model, however Ford was faced with the problem of persuading the bulky Pinto engine to fit into the engine bay. The only way of achieving this was to discard the engine-driven cooling fan and replace it with a thermostatically controlled Kenlowe unit. When finally nestled in place, the Pinto engine produced 100bhp (2bhp more than in the Cortina). The RS2000 once again proved to be a quick and delightful car to drive, whilst being more accessible to buy and still offering customers a great choice in terms of colours and options.The car presented here is offered to auction from a Ford enthusiast, who recently bought the car from his friend (who’d had it for ten years), having known it for all this time. The friend owned another RS2000 which, due to the ravages of time, was beyond repair. Being a similar enthusiast, he bought this lovely (still with its original bill of sale) and extremely solid Escort and transferred all the RS2000 componentry over to this car - with a regular Mk1 Escort shell (chassis number: BBATMT03880 not an AVO BFAT******* number - hence ‘Recreation’). So, driving/performance-wise this is a full-spec and standard (apart from the Weber 40 IDF Carburettor conversion kit, a rear-axle tramp bar and a 5-speed gearbox ) RS2000. Our knowledgeable vendor states the car is in excellent condition and drives as well as any RS2000 could.With the best RS2000 examples now commanding £40,000-plus, this very capable and enthusiast-owned car offers great value and a real taste of that early Fast Ford magic.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: ESCORTYear: 1972Chassis Number: BBATMT03880Registration Number: GUT 626LTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 70HM6015B-A Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 77000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

**Please note the car needs its recently installed fuel pressure regulator adjusting and will be sorted post-sale by Parr Porsche, the installers of the new system.**Outstanding condition, fabulously rare, original Lagoon Green Metallic paintwork, and 22-year long-term ownership with full history, this 930 ticks all the boxes. Much of the Porsche 911's development can be traced back to its racing program at the factory. The catalyst for the creation of the legendary 911 Turbo, known as Project 930, came from the Group 4 Homologation regulations of that era which required the production of 400 road cars, inspiring the birth of the iconic 911 Turbo.Starting its production run in 1975 and lasting until 1989, the Turbo married a KKK turbocharger with the 3-litre Carrera RSR engine used in road trim. This powerful combination delivered an impressive 260bhp, allowing the Turbo to reach a top speed of 155mph. In 1978, the engine was enlarged to 3.3-litres, and an intercooler was added, resulting in a power increase to 300bhp and a top speed exceeding 160mph. It already held the title of the fastest accelerating road car of its time, and the enhancements made it even more formidable.But speed wasn't the only aspect of the Turbo that left enthusiasts in awe; it was also remarkably versatile. Despite having only four speeds in the gearbox, the Turbo could achieve 100mph from a standstill in just 14 seconds. Its distinctive flared wheel arches and tea tray rear spoiler had been seen on the Carrera model before, whilst the interior set new standards for luxury in a 911, leather upholstery, air conditioning, and electric windows making it the best-equipped version yet.Offered here is a right-hand drive, UK-supplied by Cooper Exeter in Devon, C16, 3.3-litre, 4-speed manual gearbox example that's finished in the rare colour of Lagoon Green Metallic (L35Y) with a black leather interior. Lagoon Green under most lights looks more blue than green, think of it as a very light metallic turquoise. It was available on the 911 Carrera but not the Turbo. At the time of purchase, back in 2001, our vendor noted that this was the only 930 Turbo registered in the UK in this colour and that's believed to still be the case.Purchased with 72,000 miles on the odometer, and now showing just 83,420 miles, the car was bought on recognition of the quality of its condition. It's been the pride and joy of its long-term custodian of 22-years and is in simply wonderful condition with a full service history documented in a large lever-arch folder, including a Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche GB in 2015. It has recently been serviced by Parr, including a glowing report in January 2023. There is a huge amount of detail in the history file dating back to its original purchase order, which makes for exceptionally pleasant and reassuring reading.Offered directly from our enthusiast vendor following his long-term ownership, he now feels it is time to move the car on to its next custodian. Having covered just 11,500 miles since 2001, this 930 has been undeniably looked after, and represents a wonderful opportunity to own a highly useable example of one of these iconic German coupés in one of the best colour combinations we’ve ever seen on a 930 Turbo. With the market for these cars continuing to gain strength, we are delighted to offer this classic supercar that could well prove to be a rather shrewd purchase.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 930 TURBO 3.3-LITREYear: 1987Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ93ZHS000268Registration Number: D331 VAMTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 67H00288Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 83420 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

The quality of this TR's restoration is simply spectacular. One of, if not the, finest example available today.Long famed for their rugged reliability and idiosyncratic good looks, the 'side screen' TRs have attracted a fanatical following over the years. The final evolution of the Triumph TR2/TR3 sportscar line (save for the American market TR3B), the TR3A was introduced in September 1957. It was never officially badged as such and was, in fact, a minor revision of the TR3 with updates including a new wide grille, exterior door handles, lockable boot and a full tool kit. Great fun to drive, its tough box-section chassis featured independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc/drum brakes, (the first British production car to have front disc brakes as standard). Fitted with a 1,991cc four-cylinder OHV unit developing around 104bhp and 117lb/ft of torque, it was reputedly capable of 110mph. A great sales success on both sides of the Atlantic, the model provided a rather more visceral alternative to its MG and Jaguar competition.This very early TR3A was one of the first ‘A’s to roll off the production line in 1957, and was built for the American market, arriving there and initially registered in 1958. It remained overseas until returning to the UK in 2018, ripe for a restoration which it was to receive at the hands of the present owner, a retired race engineer of some standing. Every nut, bolt, washer and screw has received attention with accuracy and attention to detail being at the forefront of the build. The bare shell was totally stripped and rebuilt as required, retaining as many of the original panels as possible, and sourcing the finest quality parts when required, to achieve a fit and finish that is difficult to criticise in any way. Delve a little deeper and the quality is clear to see from the outstanding Medici Blue paintwork to the fully detailed underside and the superbly trimmed interior.The engine bay is a work of art and houses the fully rebuilt and upgraded 2,138cc straight-four. After the bare block and head had been 'Hot Tanked' to chemically clean them, reassembly began with new 89mm pistons and liners, the con rods were replaced with Max Speed forged items, the crank was reground and balanced along with the flywheel/clutch/front pulley assembly. New parts included a Newman uprated camshaft plus followers, springs, valves, pushrods, rocker shaft and arms, Vernier-type timing sprockets, timing chain, ARP head studs and nuts, water and oil pump, oil filter conversion, rear-main seal conversion, narrow fan belt conversion, stainless steel four-branch exhaust manifold and single silencer system, Hi-torque starter motor and an uprated Aluminium radiator. The head, after some port work to match the TR4A inlet manifold (better flowing than the STD item) and the tubular exhaust manifold, was sent to a local automotive engineering company for skimming and lead-free valve seats to be fitted. The enhanced power output is fed through an uprated all-synchro, overdrive gearbox to the fully rebuilt final drive. The car's full specification is too long to list here but full details are available to interested parties.The quality of the restoration is exceptional in many ways and has to be one of, if not the, the finest example available today. Triumph TR3s come to market on a fairly regular basis, but spectacular examples of this quality do not, and your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the lengths that have been taken to produce this outstanding example.Ready to be enjoyed once again and with less than 100 miles covered since completion, a period of 'running-in' is highly recommended to achieve the very best from this ever popular 1950s roadster.SpecificationMake: TRIUMPHModel: TR3AYear: 1957Chassis Number: TS-25546-LRegistration Number: 589 XVRTransmission: ManualEngine Number: TS63047-EDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 30532 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Dark Grey VinylClick here for more details and images

A great example of one of the prettiest sport saloons ever built and complete with full Aston Martin service history.It is remarkable to think that Aston Martin has launched more new cars over the past two decades that it had done through most of the 20th century. Thanks to new investment and the success of the beautifully refined DB9, a design so timeless that it influenced the penmanship of virtually every model that followed, Aston Martin had become ambitious. Some would say that a relatively small luxury sports car maker’s intention to take on the sporting saloon market was beyond ambitious, but it wasn’t Aston’s first foray. There had been three production four-door saloon over the decades, the first being the 1961 Lagonda Rapide which ran for three years with just 55 cars built, followed a decade later by just seven examples of the extended wheelbase V8 coupe of 1974 and known as the Lagonda Series 1. However it is the wedged design of the Lagonda Series 2 launched in 1976 as a full size luxury four-door sports car that is most remembered by Aston heritage enthusiasts. In production until 1990, a remarkable 645 cars were built, ending with the restyled Series 4 model.With a nod to the company’s heritage, the 2010 introduction of the four-door Rapide was a sensation. Based on the sleek lines of the DB9 and intended to compete with Porsche’s Panamera, the 5.9-litre V12 engine was mated to a 6-speed Touchtronic II automatic gearbox. The exterior coachwork was matched in beauty by a simplistic interior trimmed in the finest leather with metallic accents complementing the traditional Aston woodwork. The standard Rapide had a global production of 2,872 cars until the introduction of the Rapide S in 2013, and mainstream production began to peter out over subsequent years, until the final car in 2020. According to online sources, there are some 918 Rapides registered in the UK, which accounts for the car’s rare appearances on the road.This lovely example was supplied by JCT600 Aston Martin of Leeds in the rare colour scheme of Hardly Green Metallic over an Obsidian leather interior. Optioned from new with rear screen entertainment, ventilated seats and an alarm upgrade, it cost £159,212 and was first registered on 22nd October 2010. The accompanying service book shows 11 Aston Martin main agent stamps, whilst the car’s odometer reading is a shade under 33,500 miles and the Aston is supplied with it's original book pack, V5C and a fresh MOT.SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: RAPIDEYear: 2010Chassis Number: SCFHCDAJ4BAF01063Registration Number: KX60 HHVTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: AM16/28685 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 33500 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

One of the last surviving WRC Toyota Team Europe (TTE) Celica RA40, highly original, sympathetically restored and offered to market for the first time in over 30 years.Excitingly for rally enthusiasts, Toyota made their return to the FIA World Rally Championships in 2017, overseen by rally superstar Tommi Mäkinen as team principal. The WRC began in 1973, unifying numerous rally events held independently around the world into a single series to create a world championship. Toyota have competed in the WRC from the very beginning, having a long and illustrious history winning four drivers’ and three manufacturers’ championships.The origins of Toyota’s involvement in rallying dates to the late 1950s with involvement in the Round Australia Trial, then competitively at the Monte Carlo Rally, and with much success following in the South African National Rally Championship.The sporty new Celica range was introduced in the early 1970s, with Swedish driver Ove Andersson chosen to compete in a Japanese-prepared 1600GTV (TA22) at the 1972 RAC Rally in Europe, finishing a respectable ninth place. At this point, Toyota established a more formal team – Toyota Team Andersson. The team consisted of only four mechanics, and was initially run from Andersson’s home in Sweden, before moving to a more central headquarters in Belgium after the prospect of an ongoing programme of international rallying events arose. This is where the official name, Toyota Team Europe (TTE), was adopted in 1975 (now known as Toyota Motorsport GmbH).With the start of the WRC in 1973, a long debate started about the most suitable Toyota model to use in this competition. The team in Belgium knew that the Corolla possessed superior speed and handling abilities (with Canadian Walter Bruce in 1973 driving such an example to the first ever WRC victory for Toyota in the American POR Rally), though the Toyota Celica conveyed the desired sporting image.The 'Corolla vs Celica' debate continued throughout 1976, with TTE continuing to run the Corolla and Celica alongside each other, deciding which vehicle to race based on the nature of the event it would compete in. The Celica proved itself the more competitive machine, and by 1977 the Corolla was phased out and only used occasionally. For the rest of the 1970s, throughout the 1980s (from 1983 to 1986, the Group B Celica Twin Cam Turbo TA64 won all six WRC events in Africa they entered) and onward (after the demise of Group B, the Celica GT-Four competed in Group A rallying racing from 1988 to 1997), the Celica firmly established its rallying prowess. In Group A, the car won two manufacturer's titles and four driver's titles; Carlos Sainz was its most successful driver, winning WRC titles with the ST165 in 1990 and the ST185 in 1992. The ST185 also won the 1993 and 1994 titles with Juha Kankkunen and Didier Auriol respectively. The ST185's fourth consecutive Safari Rally victory came in 1995, which was also Toyota's eighth victory in this event. The Celica pedigree as a rallying machine is undeniable.We are privileged to be able to offer for sale one the very last surviving ex-Toyota Team Europe 1979 Toyota Celica GT RA40 Group 4 WRC rally car, the actual example driven by Björn Waldegård, the WRC’s first drivers’ champion, on the 1980 Lombard RAC Rally. This car is thought to be one of just a handful of such examples built and campaigned by Toyota for only a six-month period or so whilst competing in the WRC. This car, chassis #TA40000100666, as the last of its kind has, in recent times, inspired the creation of a faithful well-respected replica example, which is very well-known to the historic rallying fraternity, and is regularly campaigned and seen at such places as the Goodwood Speed Week.The original works car was built by Toyota Team Europe (TTE) in Cologne and first registered in Germany, bearing assigned ‘K-AE 3460’. The car’s international rallying career began in May 1980 at the WRC Acropolis International Rally, with Andersson Ove and Liddon Henry finishing sixth overall. The car was then used in August 1980 by Tapio Rainio and Erkki Nyman on the WRC 1000 Lakes International Rally in Finland to finish 7th overall.The car’s next outing in November 1980 saw the, then, reigning World Rally Champion, Björn Waldegård, drive it in the WRC Lombard RAC International Rally of Great Britain accompanied by Hans Thorszelius. A competitive drive saw them leading until their retirement in the Grizedale stage, and records show that they set fastest time on four of the 70 special stages.In early February 1981, the motoring press announced (see attached article) that Toyota GB would be opening their own motorsport programme, based in their new competition department and preparation workshop in South London. They announced that they would enter Per Eklund in the full Group 4 Celica in all rounds of the Open Championship. The article went on to further confirm that the car to be used throughout the season was the same car that Björn Waldegård had used on the previous year’s RAC Rally. Initially, #TA40000100666 was assigned the UK-registration ‘FYY 48W’ and competed in the 1981 Mintex International Rally driven by Per Eklund with Spjuth Ragnar, who were third overall but were dropped down to 11th overall due to penalties awarded by the organisers.The car was subsequently assigned the Guernsey registration ‘G-23484’ and competed in the following events (in addition to the 1981 Rally Sprint): 1981 Circuit of Ireland International Rally (Per Eklund/Frank Main) to sixth overall, 1981 West Park International Welsh Rally (Per Eklund/Frank Main) Retired, 1981 Lombard Scottish International Rally (Per Eklund/Frank Main) to ninth overall, 1981 Rothmans Manx International Rally (Per Eklund/Frank Main) Retired, and Pace Petroleum National Rally (Per Eklund/Frank Main) to sixth overall.In November 1981, the car was advertised in Autosport (see attached) by Toyota (GB) Limited, the advert confirming that Per Eklund had used it during that season and that Björn Waldegård had also used it at the end of the previous season. The car was offered for sale without its engine. Because the new-shape Celica was not available at the start of 1982, #TA40000100666 was pressed into service one more time in the February 1982 Mintex International Rally, crewed by Per Ekland and Dave Whitlock, but retired early. In 1983, according to the vehicle registration organisation in Guernsey, #TA40000100666 was removed from their register and subsequently reassigned the aged-related UK-registration ‘BPA 857Y’ which it has retained for the last 40-years.Our vendor purchased #TA40000100666 over 30-years ago and has lovingly maintained it, preserving its original body panels/components and curating its history file. Considering the international events it competed in, it maintains most of its original features, including its bodyshell. Despite competing on some of the roughest events of its time, such as the Acropolis and Scottish rallies, it remained solid with only a little TLC required. Over a period, it has been sensitively restored. Over the past ten years or so, #TA40000100666 has been used for non-competitive demonstration events, such as the Donington Park Historic Festival, Rally of the Midlands, Oulton Park Gold Cup, Lombard Bath, Mintex Rally Yorkshire and Rally Day.The engine fitted is a lightened and balanced, 18RG in-line, four-cylinder unit with twin oClick here for more details and images

With just one former keeper and a genuine recorded mileage of just 14,438, this 40-year old 2.8i remains in stunning condition.Restyled three times in its 33-year life, the Capri always remained close to its roots. The initially exaggerated 'belt line' would smooth and the impression of almost scalloped sides would flatten out. By the Mk III of 1978, Capri sales were in decline although the model was still an attractive, roomy and individual coupe.Consequently, in 1982, Ford decided to launch a new fuel-injected power plant and dropped the 3-litre V6 in favour of the all-new 2.8-litre injection Cologne V6, with a power output of 160bhp and a top speed of 130mph through the existing 4-speed gearbox. This was swiftly upgraded to a 5-speed and, along with an interior facelift, it enabled Ford to keep the Capri in production until it finally bowed out in 1986.The increasingly popular ‘Performance Ford’ market keeps on revealing hidden gems, many of which are unrepeatable, with this Ford Capri being no exception and a prime example of the breed. With just one former keeper and a genuine recorded mileage, at the time of viewing, of just 14,438, its condition has to be seen to be believed. This unrestored 2.8i is exceptional throughout with the word ‘concours' never being more appropriate. Mothballed and stored correctly for 30-plus years by the previous owner, due to ill health, nothing has been altered or changed from the original specification, even the original Bill of Sale is present detailing the ‘on the road cost’ as being £7,732.50. It's complete with both its original keys and, of course, the original book pack as presented by the supplying dealer, Bristol Street Motors, Bromley, Kent on 3rd August 1983 who also kindly included a pin badge which is still present stating 'Go Capri, Go Bristol Street’, a true time-warp marketing tool for the next custodian to enjoy. It even sits on the original tyres it was wearing when it rolled off the production line.Now fully recommissioned with a totally overhauled fuel system, this benchmark Capri is ready to grace the home of any serious Ford collector or fanatic, and will surely be welcomed at, and be one of, the stars of any Blue Oval event.

A genuine, one owner from new, manual gearbox, 996 Carrera 4 with just over 31,000 miles, a rare opportunity.The 996 is the internal designation for the Porsche 911 model 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. Progressively stringent noise regulations, environmental concerns, a higher expectation for refinement and a high-performance, four-valve per cylinder engine made the switch desirable. Other changes included a sleeker body with a more steeply raked windscreen and a redesigned interior. The performance characteristics remained superb with reliability at its core.Offered here, fresh to the market from one private owner, is a 2002 Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 4 with manual transmission and four-wheel drive. Our vendor ordered the 911 finished in beautiful Lapis Blue Metallic over a Graphite Grey leather interior with matching carpets and options also ticked included a sun roof, air-conditioning, electric sports seats and ‘Turbo Look’ alloy wheels. Since taking delivery of the Porsche in March 2002 from Porsche West London (copy of the original purchase invoice in the file), the car has always been correctly dry stored and serviced regularly by the supplying dealer with the most recent service and MOT in February 2023, with an invoice for £1,500. The current indicated mileage is 31,095.This 2002 ‘face-lift’ C4 features some updates to the earlier cars including the 3.6-litre engine with variable valve timing and the ‘teardrop’ headlamps from the Turbo. Being the very first from the water-cooled Porsche era, the 996 is fast becoming collectable with a strong enthusiast following and examples with low ownership and relatively low miles rarely come to market. A true modern classic and very likely to be the best example currently available, a perfect candidate for the more fastidious Porsche owner or a great introduction to 911 ownership.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 -996Year: 2002Chassis Number: W P 0 Z Z Z 9 9 Z 2 S 6 0 4 5 7 1Registration Number: LT02 SVWTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 31095 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: GreyClick here for more details and images

This fine 1:8th scale Amalgam model of the F2004 has been handcrafted and finished with the co-operation and assistance of Ferrari regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings.The use of supremely accurate digital scanning of the original car has allowed Amalgam to perfectly recreate every detail at scale. Furthermore, it has undergone detailed scrutiny by both engineering and design teams to ensure complete accuracy of representation. The model was finished to replicate the car on race day in Bahrain, 4th April 2004. The Ferrari F2004 is one of the most successful cars in Formula 1 history. During an era in which the Maranello-based team was dominating the sport, the F2004 won no less than 15 Formula 1 races during the 2004 season and allowed Michael Schumacher to win a record-breaking seventh World Championship. The second position in the championship was claimed by team mate, Rubens Barrichello, allowing for a 1-2 finish. The F2004 was to be the end of a hugely successful period in Ferrari's history, having won consecutively since 1999, with 2005 seeing Fernando Alonso and Renault take the crown. Autosport's Editor-in-Chief, Andrew van de Burgt, wrote 'The Ferrari F2004 is one of the most iconic Formula 1 cars in the sport's history. It was the car with which Michael Schumacher won his record-breaking seventh title and is a beautiful machine with an exceptional history.'This model 'Edition 15/30' measures 60cm/24'' approximately in length and is supplied with an original Perspex cover.Click here for more details and images

Meticulously maintained and superbly-presented in Argento over Tan, this lovely 456 offers a rare package of luxury GT motoring with that glorious V12 and the desirable 6-speed manual gearbox.The 456's looks are elegant and understated, with distinctive external features including a small grille with fog lights on the outside, bonnet-mounted air scoops, a motorised undercarriage spoiler that begins its deployment above 65mph, and pop-up headlamps. By today’s standards, the 456 can be viewed as the last Ferrari to offer uncompromising styling and luxury interior comfort. The model was well-received by press and enthusiasts alike and, although not produced in large numbers, was always gently in demand by sophisticated Ferrari owners before it was eventually replaced in 2004 by the 612 Scaglietti. Data indicates that 1,548 456 GTs were manufactured with as few as 141 manual gearbox cars delivered in right-hand drive.The name '456' refers to the fact that each cylinder displaces 456cm³, and this was the last Ferrari to use this naming convention. Despite its supercar performance, 436bhp, 0-60mph in 5.2 secs, and a top speed of 188mph, the 456 has a relatively unstressed engine which has proven, over time, to be an extremely reliable unit. Developed during the Schumacher era, the 456's construction was ground-breaking featuring composite and aluminium bodywork, cutting-edge body to chassis mating technology, along with four-wheel electronically adjustable suspension, resulting in a super lightweight 1,690kg. The Ferrari 456 had no direct rival, as it does today, the antiquated Aston Martin V8 was too bloated and the Porsche 911 was simply not exclusive enough for some.Offered here is a right-hand drive 456 GT delivered new to Hong Kong and specified in Argento Silver with a classic Tan leather interior and a manual gearbox. Manufactured in 1995 prior to being supplied in 1996, this 456 GT was meticulously maintained during its time in Hong Kong by Ferrari agents Italian Motors HK and Auto Italia HK with periodic recorded maintenance. Imported into the UK in 2015 and correctly-registered, this well-preserved example was selected to join a well-known collection of V12 Ferraris. Peter Holloway’s Collection of front engined V12, manual gearbox Ferraris featured in The Official Ferrari Magazine where his appreciation for the 456 was noted due to its 'wolf-in-sheep's-clothing' nature, presenting as a four-seat gentlemen’s carriage yet capable of over 190mph.Presented for auction in outstanding condition, F12 MPG is accompanied by a comprehensive history file with every invoice and receipt from new. The odometer currently indicates just 47,623km which equates to just under 30,000 miles. The Argento paintwork is pin-sharp, the interior presents like new and we understand that this modern classic Ferrari performs just as well as it looks.With very low-production numbers, we rarely see a manual 456 GT, especially with such a lovely specification and in such good order.

The lowest-mileage VX220 available? Probably. With just 800 miles - an amazing example of the 'other' lightweight British sportscar of the era, but with a 0-62mph time of 4.7 seconds.The noughties gave us some true future classics, although not all were appreciated equally at the time. Take the Vauxhall 220, which made its debut in 2000. The two-seat roadster may have a following today, but it failed to ignite the wider buying public’s enthusiasm during the early years of the new millennium - despite its eye-catching looks and a genesis that involved the expertise of one of the finest sports car makers in existence. Under the skin, the VX220 shared much with the contemporary Lotus Elise as the product of a partnership between Lotus and Vauxhall; it was built at Hethel and shared many crucial parts with the Elise S2, including the stiff, aluminium chassis tub. It also benefited from Lotus’s know-how with glass-fibre bodywork and suspension tuning.Being a mainstream car maker - and to put a bit of distance between the VX220 and the Elise - Vauxhall opted to temper its new roadster by giving it a longer wheelbase and a wider rear track than the Elise, plus a driver’s airbag and ABS. It chose 17" wheels over the Elise’s 16s, too, although it stopped short of adding air-con and electric windows.Rather than the Elise’s K-series powerplant, a strong, 145bhp 2.2-litre Ecotec petrol engine was shoehorned in, which was enough to propel the 870kg VX220 to 62mph in 5.6 seconds. In 2003, the option of a 2-litre turbo petrol unit from the Astra GSi became available, resulting in blistering performance, as a 0-62mph time of 4.7 seconds attests, despite being heavier than the previous model, at 930kg; the new VX220T also sported cosmetic changes, such as large side air intakes and a spoiler.The car presented here is a 2004 Vauxhall VX220 Turbo and is, we believe, the lowest mileage example of its type in existence - just 800 miles covered in total from new. Quite remarkable. This striking sportscar was used for a very brief period when new by its more senior custodian, who not long after, sadly passed away, meaning the car was returned to its garage in 2008. As can happen, life continued by and the VX220 became somewhat overlooked. It was eventually rescued from hibernation by a Lotus enthusiast, who undertook a full recommissioning process of it which included draining and renewing all fluids, a new cambelt, water pump and battery - it responded as well as you’d expect an 800-mile example to, as fresh as it was in 2004.This completely standard, basically as new VX220 is truly a time-warp example; the paintwork is still bright and the leather elements of the interior remain supple, the whole car is in quite superb condition (testimony to its excellent storage location, being both dark and dry). Underneath, everything is almost as new too, with most of the original wishbone coating still in situ - the car has obviously never seen any rain/salt during its 800 miles.The value for these focussed diminutive sportscars perhaps bottomed-out a few years ago and is now very much on the climb. An active forum supports owners, whilst specialists have begun to remanufacture unobtainable parts, all clear signs that the VX220 has reached modern-classic status. This must be one of – or even the - lowest mileage VX220s available anywhere, carrying a certain kudos for both the collector and enthusiast alike.SpecificationMake: VAUXHALLModel: VX220 TURBOYear: 2004Chassis Number: W0L0EBR973N007260Registration Number: NR04 YMPTransmission: ManualEngine Number: 31025523 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 816 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

A stunning 280SL Pagoda fresh to market for the first time in almost 40-years. Cherished since the mid 1980s and imported from Paris to London by fashion model and renowned children’s clothes designer Rachel Riley.Offered here at the Silverstone Festival 2023 is a beautiful Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda that has been cherished since it was purchased from a specialist Mercedes-Benz dealer in Paris almost 40-years ago. Rachel Riley, at the time, was a fashion model and, sometime after falling hopelessly in love with a young Parisian photographer, they decided to purchase a smart 280SL to enjoy one of Europe’s most romantic cities together. When the couple re located to London, the Pagoda naturally came with them and since then has been meticulously maintained by the same specialist workshop.Finished to European-specification in left-hand drive, this beautiful, manual gearbox 280SL is presented in arguably the most ‘en vogue’ colour combination of silver metallic with a burgundy leather interior with matching carpets and a black hood. The SL retains many carefully-preserved features including the indentations on the front wings that are, more often than not, lost in careless body restorations. It starts on-the-button and is described as performing very well thanks to regular attention from the dedicated local specialists who have been entrusted with its maintenance since it arrived here.It’s accompanied by its body-coloured, factory hard top and supplied with a history file which contains old French paperwork, the current V5C and UK-registration paperwork ready for transfer or export, and a wealth of invoices outlining its fastidious maintenance from its long-term specialists.Nowadays, Rachel Riley is a globally renowned, award-winning children’s fashion designer who finds herself spending more time in her beautiful garden than behind the wheel of the Pagoda, and consequently the time has come to find her beloved SL a new home. This is a great opportunity to take ownership of this delightful classic Mercedes-Benz.SpecificationMake: MERCEDES-BENZModel: 280SL PAGODAYear: 1969Chassis Number: 10013533Registration Number: FYY 470HTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 83424 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: Burgundy Click here for more details and images

Superbly-presented in classic Ferrari colours, with just over 20,000 miles, supported by an impeccable service history.Firmly placed in Ferrari's history as one of their finest modern-era big GTs, the 550 Maranello's combination of elegant lines and legendary front-mounted 12-cylinder engine meant that these cars had the potential to become instant classics. Following in the footsteps and sharing the DNA of the 365 GTB/4 'Daytona', the 550 M is inevitability compared to its forbear. Few front-engined Ferraris have quite justified that comparison quite like the 550 Maranello.Styled by Pininfarina, like its illustrious predecessor, the 550 was similarly proportioned, adopting the classical combination of long bonnet, a small cabin and a truncated tail. Classic Ferrari styling cues include a bonnet air scoop and hot air outlets behind the front wheel-arches recalling the great Competizione Ferraris of the past, whilst the rear incorporates Ferrari's characteristic twin circular lights.The heart of any Ferrari is its engine, and the 550 Maranello's 48-valve, 5.5-litre V12 develops 485bhp at 7,000rpm. The powertrain is housed in a tubular steel chassis, to which is attached aluminium coachwork, whilst the all-independent suspension incorporated dual-mode (normal/sports) damping, switch-selectable by the driver, which is complemented by speed-sensitive power-assisted steering.The 6-speed manual gearbox complements a slightly more even torque curve, ensuring that the power delivery was a little less frenetic, whilst excellent weight distribution and delightful road manners make the 550 Maranello a truly refined driving machine, still capable of almost 200mph. With styling that is ageing particularly well, a high-quality cabin, generous storage and an enormous 100-litre-plus fuel tank, these cars really are the consummate 'European Grand Tourer' in the true Ferrari mould.This superb example is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 6-speed manual gearbox car first registered on 1st June 2000. It's finished in Rosso Corsa with Tan leather upholstery and Bordeaux carpets, and was factory-fitted from new with yellow metal wing shields and a sports exhaust. It has a full service history from new, all documented with over 18 services, with the most recent by Carrs of Exeter on 25th October 2022. The current indicated mileage of 20,083 is supported by an MOT history from new and the car will have a fresh MOT prior to the sale.The car presents superbly, the Rosso paintwork displays a deep and even shine and the interior appears virtually unmarked with no evidence of the sticking switchgear for which the model is occasionally known.

A superb low-mileage example of JaguarSport's very special, hand-built, 6-litre XJR development, one of the last of the 115 cars ever produced.One of the rarest of all XJS, the XJR-S was a special development by JaguarSport, a conjunction between Jaguar and Tom Walkinshaw’s TWR. Owned 50/50 by both parties, JaguarSport was launched in 1988, and planned to produce the epitome of all things Jaguar, and with the XJR-S they certainly achieved that. Hand-built at JaguarSport in Kidlington by the TWR engineers who had worked on the XJ220. With the focus of the car not just being upon the unique engine fitted to those cars made post 1989, the chassis was developed to ensure this was the most competent it could be to handle the 160mph top speed from its V12 engine. Compared favourably to Italian and German competitors of the time, the work between Jaguar and TWR certainly ensured these of all XJS are the most sought-after. The JaguarSport XJR-S may have looked similar to their production counterparts but differed immensely with many parts unique to the model and, of course, its 6-litre V12 engine. The engine was rated at 318bhp and was 700cc larger than the previous 5.3-litre V12. A modified intake system, Zytek engine management and a low-loss true dual exhaust system were part of the car’s advanced specification. The Hydramatic GM400 was modified with different 'changing points' to better suit the 6-litre car, and a Salisbury limited-slip differential was standard. The suspension was further-developed by TWR with increased coil spring rates and the Bilstein shocks, front and rear, were specially tuned for the XJR-S.Externally, the cars were modified with a subtly aggressive body kit, 16" 'Speedline' aerodynamic wheels and host of modifications inside included a bespoke Connolly Autolux leather interior and the steering wheel was made for JaguarSport by Momo of Milan. They were normally built to order, with cars being transported from Browns Lane to Kidlington to be hand-finished. At £45,500, it was £11,000 more than the 5.3 which explains why a little over 500 were made (115 in RHD) before production stopped in 1993 making them highly sought after today.This low-ownership, very low-mileage example comes with an excellent history file, detailing services from delivery in 1993 until 2005 with just a few periods of inactivity until it had covered 23,000 miles approximately. It has covered very few miles since that point, indeed only showing a touch over 29,500 miles at the time of cataloguing, having formed part of a large private Collection for the last few years. Owned by our vendor since 2016, it's supplied with its original book-pack, tool roll and more, and a history file detailing relatively recent expenditure including brake pipe replacement, a power-steering refresh and some interior cosmetic work to ensure that the car remains at its best. With a fresh MOT and, at guide price that could only be described as sensible given the results for some recent XJS sales, this very special car is sure to create interest from collectors of the very best Jaguars.

**Please note the bonnet cable has stretched and will need to be replaced/repaired by the new owner.** A wonderfully-restored Fiat 500F Nuova on offer at No Reserve. The austerity of the basic 500, was known as the 'Economica', was not well received initially, prompting the swift introduction of a revised and better-equipped model which first appeared towards the end of 1957 at the Turin Show. Refinements incorporated in this less spartan version included wind-down windows, an upholstered rear seat, column-mounted switch-gear stalks and hubcaps. Introduced in 1960, the succeeding 500D used the 499.5cc engine of the 500 Sport in de-tuned form whilst, in 1965, that was superseded by the 500F. The latter's altered bodywork incorporating front-hinged doors and a shortened sunroof, whilst mechanical improvements included a strengthened transmission. Maximum power increased to 22bhp and the top speed to within a whisker of 60mph. An immense success for FIAT, almost 3,000,000 of these adorable little cars had been sold when production ceased in 1975.On offer here is a delightful Fiat 500F, finished in Aquamarine with a period-correct, red and cream interior. WGU 476F was purchased in 2017 after having had the bodywork refreshed but still in need of a little TLC to bring it up to the next level. With that in mind, a schedule of works was embarked upon which included a full mechanical overhaul, including the sensible decision to fit an all-synchromesh gearbox together with a full suspension strip and rebuild with all components refreshed or renewed as required. With the focus on keeping as close to the factory-specification as possible, the interior was correctly retrimmed, including the ribbed rubber matting, alongside a new folding roof and even the tool kit received careful consideration, such has been the attention to detail.Accompanying this outstanding Fiat is a comprehensive history file including an original Italian handbook, a workshop manual and factory parts catalogue, various invoices and some rare factory advertising material. Delightfully presented and offering a much-improved driving experience, this is one Cinquecento that would be happy within any collection, or being used as intended, as a fun urban run-around.Acquired by our vendor around 12-months ago on a whim and little-used since, a change in circumstances and a lack of space means it returns to the market on offer at No Reserve, which may well make it the bargain of the day.

Total professional nut and bolt, chassis up restoration to the very highest of standards.Although 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", it was around five inches wider than its predecessor, the TC, which always a little ‘cosy’. Powered by the proven 1,250cc XPAG engine allied to a 4-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg. Riding on 15" 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 1,250cc XPAG engine received a new block, sump, bell-housing and 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 around ten-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. However 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, side screens and a new tonneau cover that will require fitting.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 out on the open road or in the Concours arena.

**Please note the NOVA has not yet been applied for. If the vehicle is sold to a UK buyer the NOVA will be applied for after the sale and any import VAT due will be settled by the seller**A rare Interceptor Convertible that was restored some years ago, running and driving well and ready to be enjoyed once again by a new custodian. Débuting at the March 1974 Geneva Motor Show, the Interceptor Convertible was based on the same tubular chassis as its fixed-head sibling, albeit with suitably-strengthened sill sections and windscreen pillars. It retained the same independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a 'live' rear axle and four-wheel disc brakes. Powered by 7.2-litre Chrysler V8 mated to a TorqueFlite automatic transmission, the new model was supposedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.6 seconds and 126mph. Intended as a rival to the Rolls-Royce and Bentley Corniche convertible which it undercut in the UK by almost £7,000 at £9,863, the open Interceptor soon attracted a following among the international jet set. Only in production for two-years, during which a mere 456 are thought to have been built, the vast majority headed to the continent and the United States and consequently the Convertible remains the rarest and most sought after Interceptor variantFinished in Oakland Green Metallic with a Tan Hide interior and matching hood, this particular, left-hand drive Interceptor III Convertible has benefitted from an older restoration that included a bare metal respray, a comprehensive mechanical overhaul including the rebuilding of the gearbox, a stainless steel exhaust and an internal retrim in Connnolly Hide. Having resided in France in recent years, the Jensen has been carefully maintained, as and when required, so as to be on the button and ready to go when required, proving itself on the recent journey back to the UK, arriving without any issues.With NOVA Certification, the vehicle is ready to be UK-registered if required and, if remaining in the UK, our vendor has kindly agreed to pay any taxes due.

Designed by Cedric Selzer, this pretty little, Lotus twin-cam powered sports racer was built to compete in the short-lived Formula F100 series.Designed by Cedric Selzer, Jim Clark's race engineer in 1963/64, who came up with a conventional spaceframe chassis clad with aluminium panels, the Nerus Silhouette was intended to run in the Formula F100 series. Announced in 1969, F100 was a short-lived attempt to do for sports car racing what Formula Ford had done for single-seaters and was conceived along similar lines to Formula Ford, lightly modified production engines and road tyres being mandatory. It was intended to replace the sometimes ill-supported sports-racing and GT events at club meetings, however, Formula F100 only lasted a couple of seasons.Believed to be one of five cars created, the example offered here is powered by a 2-litre Lotus-Ford twin-cam engine mated to a Hewland Mark 9 gearbox. Running twin 48mm Dellorto carburettors and dry-sump lubrication with fully adjustable suspension (magnesium uprights), the car is running and driving but following some years of inactivity will need careful recommissioning and the safety equipment updating. Raced by David Beckett, it ran in the Spa Six Hours in 2001. 1990 FIA papers and a rolling-road report from that year are also available. A fabulous opportunity to break into historic racing in a truly special car.SpecificationMake: NERUSModel: SPORTS-CARYear: 1968Chassis Number: TBARegistration Number: N/ATransmission: ManualMake: Interior Colour: Black vinylClick here for more details and images

One of just 200 examples, fabulously presented and perhaps the lowest-mileage CSK on the market.To mark the huge success and the 20th Anniversary of the model, Land Rover, in their September 1990 press release, hailed the Range Rover CSK as the 'Ultimate two-door Range Rover'. Named in honour of Charles Spencer King, the man who designed the original Range Rover, the CSK was intended primarily to publicise the new anti-roll suspension and was promoted as a sportier Range Rover with only 200 numbered examples produced. This special, UK-only, Range Rover featured a number of modifications improving both performance and passenger comfort, and was the fastest production Range Rover ever built at that time, with a chipped version of the 3.9-litre V8 engine developing 185bhp. The increase in performance is complemented by improved handling at high speeds, and Land Rover had introduced front and rear anti-roll bars and sports dampers to give a smoother, more comfortable ride on normal roads.Finished exclusively in Beluga Black with chrome bumpers, they featured silver pinstripe coach lines with discrete CSK logos positioned on both front wings and one on the lower tailgate. The interior is pure Range Rover with contrasting Sorrel leather trim and the American Walnut fascia, and door inserts are exclusive to this model. Priced at £28,995 for a manual, the automatic CSK was more expensive at £30,319.22. The CSK was an instant hit, aimed as it was at the emerging sportier Range Rover owner, and was perhaps the first of its kind, a retro-inspired new car. Whilst some CSKs were used on turf, the vast majority were viewed as comfortable motorway cruisers, as most Range Rovers are so used today, and the few CSKs that are seen in today’s market have over 100,000 miles on the odometer and are usually heavily restored. Seen as a comfortable luxury car without the ostentation of a Rolls or Bentley, a number of CSKs naturally found their way to the leafy residential roads of the better parts of 1990s London, as this fabulous car, No. 56, did when new. First registered to a Mr C Geoff-Saurau of Earls Court, South West London on 12th August 1991. Please note, that it was our vendor’s intention to service the CSK at his local Land Rover main dealer but was informed, bafflingly, that they no longer serviced Range Rovers built before 2007, and will therefore have the CSK serviced at a British Heritage specialist.

A very impressive example of BMW's mid-1990s 380bhp V12 range-topper.The BMW 850CSI was the factory's flagship model in the mid-1990s and featured the silky smooth S70 V12 engine mated to a Getrag 6-speed manual transmission and was one of the first cars ever to offer drive-by-wire throttle control. Developed from the M70, the S70 increased the bore and stroke and utilised more aggressive valve timings, resulting in an increase in maximum power to an impressive 380bhp at 5,300rpm and torque to 402lb/ft at 4,000rpm. With the hydraulic control unit mounted on the differential, the 850 uses hydraulic rear steering linked to Servotronic front steering to give precise, high-speed stability and harness the S70's significant power output for a great driving experience.Although considered avant-garde when it first arrived, the pillarless coupé was blessed with classically proportioned, understated and essentially timeless styling that has not dated, and these beautiful and exclusive Gran Turismos still look modern today.This fabulous example was supplied new to its first owner on 5th January 1995 by BMW Green Bower Garages Ltd of Haverford West and was transferred within the same family before finally becoming the property of our vendor in 2017, and it immediately joined his private Collection. The car has only had three keepers in total (two from the same family) and has travelled just 49,500 miles from new which is supported by a history file and a stamped service book with various BMW stamps in it. It presents exceptionally well in Hellrot with a classic two tone grey leather interior which appears virtually unmarked.

Understood to be one of just 27 UK-supplied cars, matching numbers, a fabulous history file and presenting beautifully today.Introduced in September 1975 for the 1976 model year with production only running until 1977, the Porsche Carrera 3.0 is rightly regarded as somewhat of a special and rare model amongst the impact-bumper era, 911 model range. Following on after the MFI-engined Carrera 2.7, the 3.0 Carrera heralded the adoption of the newly developed Bosch K-Jetronic CIS fuel injection engine. This torque-rich, smooth and free-revving 3-litre engine, with a distinctive 'cam' effect from 4,000rpm, produced 200bhp and was effectively a naturally-aspirated version of the 930 Turbo's drivetrain, using the same die-cast aluminium crankcase and gearbox housing for durability.Having considerably more torque than the outgoing Carrera 2.7, the Carrera 3.0 was one of the earliest Porsches to return economical fuel consumption figures without any significant performance loss and acceleration times from 0-60 mph and 0-100 mph were almost identical to the original 2.7 RS and 2.7 Carrera. Performance was aided further by the relatively light weight of the 3.0 Carrera compared to its successors. During its short two-year life span, only 3,687 cars were built in total - a tiny amount compared to nearly 58,000 911 SCs and 76,500 3.2 Carreras produced. Worldwide production ran to 2,564 Coupés of which 1,123 were Targas. Only around 1,064 Coupés were manufactured in right-hand drive and it is understood that this car is one of just 27 Targas.According to the copy Bill of Sale on file, dated 26th July 1977, a William Findlay, Esq., of Stranraer, Scotland bought this car, chassis 9117610526, in the fabulously retro Platinum Metallic, a special order paint costing £259.00. The interior was specified as Cork Leatherette with beige pin-stripe velour to the seats, whilst the black Porsche lettering cost an additional £27.00, bringing the total price to a, not inconsiderable, £15,467.14. The accompanying Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirms the engine number as 6671537/930/02 whilst the 5-speed manual transmission is recorded as 7175674/915/61. Listed as optional equipment are impact absorbers, forged alloy rims, sport seats, chrome trim (instead of black), front and rear spoilers, Bilstein Shock Absorbers, the 5-speed gearbox and coloured windows.The original service book lists the name and addresses of two subsequent owners whilst the maintenance record show dates, stamps and mileages for the appropriate schedules. The detailed history file includes reams of period receipts, whilst the most recent invoices are a mix of specialist workshops and Porsche main dealers. It was bought by our vendor, a longstanding customer with an enviable car collection, on 27th September 2020 from long-term family ownership. The coachwork has been painted to a high standard and the interior remains remarkably original and still wonderfully 1970s. The MOT is valid until September 2023 and the V5C is present.Presented to auction with an odometer reading, at the time of cataloguing, of 74,029 miles, this car, as one of the rarest UK-market production Porsches, represents good value against the 930 Turbo and is the smart choice for those who respect history, rarity and condition.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911Year: 1977Chassis Number: 9117610526Registration Number: CDS 876STransmission: ManualEngine Number: 6671537 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 74029 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Cork LeatheretteClick here for more details and images

This striking Sierra Cosworth RS500, No.125/500, is offered fresh to market after almost 20 years of continuous ownership and must surely represent one of the most original and unmolested examples to become available in recent times.The original Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was the first Ford to wear the Cosworth badge and was presented to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1985. It was introduced as a means of homologating the Sierra for Group A Touring Car racing, with a requirement that 5,000 cars were built and sold. Launched for sale in July 1986, and based on the three-door Sierra body-shell, it was designed by Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) and was powered by a Cosworth-designed 2-litre turbo engine of now-legendary repute. At this time, the Sierra Cosworth was a new kind of performance car - a 'blue-collar hero' able to humble true sports cars!In total 5,545 cars were produced - of which 500 were sent to Aston Martin Tickford for conversion to the Sierra RS500 Cosworth. If the RS Cosworth was an homologation car, the RS500 was an evolution special. Once Ford had built the requisite 5,000 RS Cosworths, Group A rules allowed an upgraded 'evolution' model to be launched. This could carry changes focused on improving its racing potential, provided Ford sold 10% of the original number as road cars, hence the 500. The RS500 was announced in July 1987 and had a mechanically uprated Cosworth engine (more similar to the one to be used in competition), with power boosted to 224bhp, modified bodywork and the cachet of being hand-assembled - the RS500 really is the ultimate 1980s Fast Ford!This particular Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500, No 0125/500, is offered fresh to market after almost 20-years of continuous ownership and must surely represent one of the most original and unmolested examples to become available in recent times. Prior to purchase in 2004, our vendor made the decision that an RS500 was on his bucket list, but not just any old RS500, it had to be one of the very best. With that in mind, and the object of his desire sourced, an inspection by Alastair Mayne, Graham Goode Racing's Technical and Development Engineer was enlisted to inspect the vehicle to ensure that this was truly original and unmolested, even checking the often abused ECU for signs of tampering! As you would expect all was good and the purchase rubber-stamped with many years of meticulous and fastidious ownership to follow. E290 VFD remains in the same condition to this very day with the exception of the front air dam and rear bumper which required minor refinishing to bring back up to the superb and original finish of the remainder of the vehicle and, with the exception of general service items, this is how the RS presents today. With a comprehensive history folder, Dating Certificate and workshop manuals, there is little more to say other than that if you are looking for one of the most original, unmolested and desirable Performance Fords, freshly serviced and MOT’d, we suggest that your search may be at an end.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: SIERRA COSWORTH RS500Year: 1987Chassis Number: WFOEXXGBBEGG39079Registration Number: E290 VFDTransmission: ManualEngine Number: GG39079Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Grey VelourClick here for more details and images

A collector-quality example of Renault's never-to-be-repeated, limited-edition, design-classic with just over 5,000 miles and an extensive service history.The idea for the Renault Spider was formulated in the early 1990s, in the midst of a revival, after a difficult second half of the 1980s, Renault wanted a car to promote as a sporting brand (similar to the Renault 5 Turbo from a decade earlier) and as a result the Spider was the first car to be produced under the new brand name of 'Renaultsport'.The Renaultsport Spider started life as a futuristic concept car dubbed ‘Laguna Roadster’ that made its international debut at the 1990 edition of the Paris Motor Show. Public response to the Laguna Roadster was surprisingly positive, so Renault’s top executives attempted to make a reasonable business case for it. The project was a tough sell at first, few automakers can justify investing in a low-volume niche model, but it was finally given the green light for production in September of 1993.The Spider was intended to serve as both a racing car in a one-make series organised by Renault and as a slightly more civilized road car. The first prototypes for 'Project W94', as it was known at the time, were completed in mid-1994, and a concept version was presented to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in 1995. The car went on sale in late 1995, assembled at the Alpine factory in Dieppe.Designed from the outset as a driver's car, the chassis was made of aluminium (combining low weight and substantial strength) clad in a GRP body. The gearbox and engine were one unit, transversally fixed in an oscillating hinge (an arrangement inspired by aeronautical design), which all but eradicated the interference of engine vibration with the chassis. The pedals of the Spider were adjustable as well as the seat so the driver could achieve the absolute optimum driving position. The heart of the Spider was a mid-mounted 2-litre, DOHC F7R four-cylinder engine which was borrowed from the Clio Williams and later used in the Mégane Coupé. Tuned to generate 148bhp and 129lb/ft. of torque, the 16-valve unit was linked to a five-speed manual transmission that sent power to the rear wheels. The 930kg two-seater sprinted from 0 to 62mph in 6.9 seconds and went on to a top speed of 133mph.According to the official production numbers there were just 1,685 examples of the Spider assembled in Alpine’s Dieppe factory from 1996 to 1999. Each car was hand-built from start to finish and took about 90-hours to complete, which partially justified its relatively high price at the time. The Spider model was unfortunately discontinued after only a year and a half of production.400 LHD cars were produced as 'saute vente' with a wind deflector (instead of a windscreen) which created an air-screen in front of the driver. For the UK-market, a number of RHD cars were built with windscreens, but only 60 RHD cars were sold. The remainder of the cars were sold in the German market converted back to LHD with the addition of a driver’s airbag.The 1997 Renaultsport Spider presented here is one of those 60 windscreen-equipped, right-hand drive examples sold new to the UK-market and has covered just over 5,000 miles since new. It's finished in the original three-stage Pearlescent Liquid Yellow paintwork – arguably a Spider’s signature colour. Incredibly original and still in 'showroom condition', there cannot be many better examples available. It has quite obviously has never seen any rain or winter roads, its condition being wholly commensurate with its low-mileage, fully backed-up by servicing records. It was supplied new on 16th December 1997 through Bailey’s of Hanley Ltd. (Renault) and is still accompanied by its owner’s book-pack, service book, numerous receipts and invoices, V5C, previous MOT Certificates, and both keys, as well as clear and weatherproof cockpit covers. It also retains its original ‘briefcase’ in the front luggage compartment which houses the locking wheel nut, spares, tow hook, and jack.The service record is impeccable too, the most recent (with cambelt) being done at Renault specialists Cedar Motors Ltd. of Leicestershire.Aug 2022 - 5,018 miles - Vasstech NorthallertonSep 2021 - 5,008 miles - Vasstech NorthallertonSep 2020 - 4,999 miles - Vasstech NorthallertonJul 2019 - 4,993 miles - Vasstech NorthallertonSep 2007 - 3,322 miles - Parkwood Service CentreJun 2006 - 3,125 miles - Parkwood Service CentreMay 2004 - 2,675 miles - Parkwood Service CentreJun 2003 - 2,307 miles - Parkwood Service CentreJun 2002 - 2,081 miles - Parkwood Service CentreJun 2001 - 1,852 miles - Globe Motors LtdNov 1999 - 1,034 miles - Renault LeedsThis is a very rare opportunity to acquire a special little sports car, rarely seen on British roads, that is sure to be the talking point at any classic car show.SpecificationMake: RENAULTModel: SPORTS SPIDERYear: 1999Chassis Number: VMKAF0H0515801676Registration Number: R137 EFATransmission: Maual Engine Number: C000322 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 5215 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images
