Find out more at www.nlom.org.Lot Essay:Richard MacDonald's sculptures celebrate the beauty and physicality of the human form. He was classically trained at Art Center College in Pasanda, California. Following the great sculptural masters such as Auguste Rodin and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, he adds a contemporary element to his figural creations. His ability to focus on how the body can be manipulated has led to his work with Cirque du Soleil, MGM, and the Olympic Games.His process involves making a clay "sketch" or maquette of his work. These quarter-size models are the basis for his half life to life-size works. He then utilizes the famously painstaking Lost Wax method in which his work will become first a wax model and then a bronze sculpture.(Including base) Height: 60 in x width: 30 in x depth: 22 1/2 in. Weight (without wooden base): 198 lbs 6 oz.Condition: There are no bends, breaks, losses, or restorations. Light dust/debris gathered in the recessed areas of the work. Light wear to the wooden base.

Registration No: 136 APH Chassis No: H3524Z MOT: Exempt • Part of the collection since 1982 • 35,316 recorded miles (unwarranted) • Highly original interior • Off the road since 2015 • In need of recommissioning / restoration “The modern Singer, with its long, alligator bonnet and deep leather-upholstered seats, its polished wood dash and very complete equipment, imparts an air of solidity and luxury” (Motor Sport magazine). Introduced in 1954, the Singer Hunter sported revised sheetmetal complete with a prominent chrome radiator grille and horse’s head mascot but otherwise utilised much the same body-on-frame construction, independent front suspension, 1.5 litre SOHC four-cylinder engine and four-speed manual gearbox as its SM1500 predecessor. Hampered by Singer’s perilous financial position even the addition of a pared back ‘S’ model and the promise of a ‘twin cam’ variant could not save the Hunter. Phased out after the Rootes Group’s takeover, just 4,700 were made. First registered in Surrey on 16th April 1956 (or so its ‘136 APH’ number plate would imply), chassis H3524Z belonged to Michael Jones of Brentwood by 1981. Joining the late Mr Lucas’s collection the following year, the Singer pleasingly retains a highly original interior and shows an unwarranted 35,316 miles to its odometer. Seemingly last on the road in 2015, this rare surviving Hunter is now in need of recommissioning / renovation.
Registration No: CAS 748 Chassis No: MAW3D94187 MOT: Exempt • Current ownership since 2013 • Fitted with new wheels and tyres • The subject of much work to the underside and mechanicals • A reluctant sale of a much-loved family member • Collection of invoices and current V5c document An exceptionally advanced design in 1948, the Minor was the brainchild of Sir Alec Issigonis. With a monocoque chassis, independent torsion-bar front suspension, all-round hydraulic drum brakes and rack and pinion steering the model possessed excellent handling but lacked the horsepower to exploit it. However, things improved markedly when the four-cylinder 1098cc OHV A-series equipped Series V was introduced in 1962. With up to 45bhp and 60lbft of torque being transmitted to its rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox, the Series V was reputedly capable of 77mph. From 1965, no further major production improvements were made to the Minor, with resources being channelled into improving the ADO16 (the Minor's spiritual successor and Britain's best-selling car in the 1960s), and development of the Morris Marina, which would succeed the Minor on the Cowley production lines in 1971. A reluctant sale of a much-loved family member, this Traveller has been in current ownership since 2013. ‘CAS 748’ has been the subject of much work to the underside and mechanicals with Staffordshire Minors having carried out welding on the chassis, with the invoices on file. Some further improvement has been made with the addition of recent tyres and new steel wheels. Offered with a collection of invoices and an old MOT certificate on file from 2013, there’s the charming ‘CAS’ registration number and a current V5C registration document.

Registration No: UPL 141F Chassis No: DB6/3276/R MOT: Exempt • Stalled restoration project with much work already completed • A matching numbers example originally specified with five-speed ZF Manual transmission • British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate on file confirming that the car was originally supplied in Deep Carriage Green over Red • Offered with a collection of invoices for works performed to date Unveiled at the 1965 London Motor Show, the DB6 was notable for being the first Aston Martin model to be engineered following the company's move from Feltham to Newport Pagnell. Although, a direct development of the DB5, with the same visage, the newcomer enjoyed notably better high-speed stability thanks to the provision of a Kamm tail with built-in spoiler, and superior interior space courtesy of a 3.7-inch longer wheelbase and taller roofline. Grafted over a sheet steel platform chassis, the four-seater's hand-finished aluminium panels helped contribute to the claimed kerb weight of 3,232lbs that was actually only 17lbs heavier than its predecessor. Praised by the contemporary motoring press for its poise and handling, the DB6 employed all-round coil-sprung suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering. Powered by the fabulous Tadek Marek designed 3995cc DOHC straight-six engine, the model boasted some 282bhp and 280lbft of torque in standard tune and could be had with five-speed ZF manual or three-speed Borg Warner automatic transmission. A contemporary road test found a manual DB6 to be capable of 0-60mph in 7.4 seconds and 150mph. A total of 1,327 MkI Saloons were produced between October 1965 and the MkII's July 1969 arrival. According to the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate on file, chassis DB6/3276/R was built on the 31st October 1967 and despatched to HR Owen Limited, London on 20th December 1967 where it was first registered as 'UPL 141F'. Originally supplied in the attractive and unusual colour combination of Deep Carriage Green paintwork over a Red Leather interior and was specified from the factory with a five-speed ZF gearbox. Little is known of the DB6's early life, however it is understood that the previous owner found the car as a complete project in 2018 with the intention of carrying out a complete restoration. Much of the car was found to be corroded, including most, if not all, of the Aluminium panel work - an aged photograph on file suggests that there was a large hole that had been cut in the offside front wing! Purchased by the vendor in 2020, the car had already been stripped for restoration and was found to be in need of much welding work - so therefore the Aston's body was taken to Martin Wilcox (the renowned metalwork artist of Z-Lines vehicle restoration) who fitted complete steel front and rear chassis sections from R&J Simpson and has removed all of the corrosion from elsewhere. The famous Tadek Marek designed six-cylinder, twin-cam power unit was stripped for overhaul and machining work was entrusted to the Head Shop in Warrington, Cheshire, who overhauled the cylinder head and bored out the block to 4.2 Litre with matching pistons to suit. However, the engine has remained in a disassembled state ever since, with its overhauled SU carburettors and ZF gearbox also being present. Now presented as an incredible opportunity for any prospective buyer to build one of the great David Brown era Astons to their specification, DB6/3276/R is now available to market with much of the hard work having been completed. Supplied with a number of invoices on file, the original chassis number plate stating the original engine number (which is confirmed to be matching the block stamping) and also a hoard of extra parts. We recommend that any interested parties view this lot in person to satisfy themselves about its condition. PLEASE NOTE: 'UPL 141F' no longer appears when typed into the DVLA online vehicle check and there is no V5C present with the history file - however a HPI check on the chassis number has confirmed the link and has shown a clean record. Prospective bidders should make their own enquiries and be aware that they will need to apply for a new registration document.

Registration No: JTB 559B Chassis No: GA153204CP MOT: Exempt • Part of the collection since 1979 • Pleasingly retains its original upholstery • 34,559 recorded miles (unwarranted) • In need of recommissioning Launched in April 1959, the Herald was the first Standard-Triumph to utilise the company's new generation separate chassis platform (which would later underpin the Spitfire, GT6 and Vitesse). Blessed with elegant lines, courtesy of Giovanni Michelotti, the model featured all-round independent suspension and rack-and-pinion steering. An accomplished town car, criticism as to its lack of pace was answered by the introduction of the '1200' during April 1961. Powered by an 1147cc four-cylinder OHV engine that developed 39bhp (boosted to 48bhp from 1963), it was capable of 75mph. Visually distinguished by a new laminate dashboard and rubber-covered bumpers, the 1200 could be had in saloon, coupe and estate guises. First registered in Lancashire on 13th November 1964 (or so its ‘JTB 559B’ number plate would imply), chassis GA153204CP joined the late Mr Lucas’s collection fifteen years later. Pleasingly retaining its original upholstery, the Triumph shows 34,559 unwarranted miles to the odometer. Passing its most recent MOT test 109 miles ago on 16th August 2017, the Herald has since been on static display over recent years and as such is in need of recommissioning. Exuding period charm, this rare surviving Coupe has been fitted with auxiliary gauges and a Bush radio.
Registration No: XVO 400H Chassis No: 84503355D MOT: Exempt • Benefitting from significant restoration work in 2015-2016 • Just 53,500 recorded miles and in current ownership since 2016 • Featured in ‘Classic Car Mart’ in a comparison between the Rover P5B Coupe and the Daimler V8 250 – in which the P5B won! • Accompanied by a large history file Although a marriage of expediency, the union between Rover's stately P5 model range and the ex-Buick 3528cc all-alloy OHV V8 engine, it resulted in an unexpectedly fine motorcar. Launched in 1967, the Rover P5B (or P5 Buick if you prefer) was conceived to stave off increasingly refined competition from the likes of Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz. Available in Saloon and Coupe guises - both of which employed four doors - the big Rover was equipped with independent torsion-bar front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc/drum brakes. Fitted with a three-speed automatic transmission and power-assisted steering as standard, it proved a relaxing drive. Though, with some 161bhp and 210lbft of torque on tap, it also boasted a 115mph top speed. Well-appointed in the best Rover tradition, the P5B’s 'gentlemen's club' interior made it a firm favourite with businessmen, politicians (Harold Wilson's car was reputed to have a pipe rack in the back) and even Her Late Majesty The Queen, who owned an Arden Green Saloon. Production lasted until 1973 by which time 9,099 Coupes and 11,501 Saloons had been built. Manufactured in 1969, the P5B offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom being road registered on the 24th of September that year. Finished in Admiralty Blue paintwork with a Silver Birch roof, the Rover features a complementary Tan hide interior upholstery. Shortly before being purchased into current ownership in 2016, the P5B was provided with significant restoration work between 2015-2016 that comprised a complete respray, fitment of electronic ignition, attention to the cooling system, and other smaller improvements to the total of over £7,700. Thereafter featured in ‘Classic Car Mart’ magazine in a comparison between the Rover P5B Coupe and the Daimler V8 250, with the article concluding that the P5B narrowly won! Further enhanced while in current ownership, the Rover has received wheel refurbishment, a brake refresh, a new starter motor, fitment of a vintage-style radio, and servicing making expenditure since 2015 totalling above £10,600. Accompanied by the original and complete toolkit, chassis ‘84503355D’ is offered now with just 53,500 recorded miles on the odometer. Supplied with a history file that contains a large collection of invoices, previous MOT certificates, owner’s instruction manual, original sales literature, workshop manual, copy of the ‘Classic Car Mart’ magazine, and a current V5C document. With low recorded mileage and in an appealing colour scheme, ‘XVO 400H’ has much to recommend it and is offered at we feel, an attractive guide.

Registration No: FYB 131K Chassis No: MH4S923863M MOT: Exempt The last vehicle acquired for the collection in 202354,602 recorded miles (unwarranted)Known to the Morris Marina Owners' Club and Ital RegisterBeige upholstery, wood-rimmed steering wheelIn need of recommissioningOf the 807,000 Morris Marinas sold between 1971 and 1980 less than 1,000 are known to still exist. Rushed to market and compromised by an overly convoluted design brief, the Marina (codenamed ADO28) was the first British Leyland product. Targeted at the fleet market, Morris’s newcomer could be had in saloon, coupe, estate, pick-up and van guises all underpinned by the same front-engined, rear-wheel drive platform. Engines ranged from 1.3 – 1.8 litres in size and trim levels were profuse. Never the best-selling, looking, handling or performing car in its segment, the Marina was nevertheless a sales success and an integral part of British 1970s culture. Dating from the first year of production and first registered in Somerset (or so its ‘FYB 131K’ number plate would imply), chassis MH4S923863M was the last vehicle to join the late Mr Lucas’s collection in January 2023. Immortalised as an Oxford Diecast model and well-known to the Morris Marina Owners’ Club, the Teal Blue Saloon passed its most recent MOT test at and indicated 53,844 miles on 7th July 2021 with ‘no advisories’. Having covered less than 800 miles since then, it is now in need of recommissioning. Long pilloried, the Marina may yet have its day in the sun.
Registration No: NLD 69 Chassis No: TD9959 MOT: Exempt • Desirable 'home market' example to 'TD2' specification • Matching chassis and engine numbers • Presents as a well preserved older restoration • Retains original registration number 'NLD 69' • Offered as part of a deceased estate sale on a 'No Reserve' basis Although, instantly recognisable as a T-series model thanks to its perpendicular radiator shell, flowing wings and rear-mounted spare wheel, the TD broke important new ground for the Abingdon marque. The first MG sportscar to feature either independent double-wishbone front suspension or rack and pinion steering, the newcomer also boasted a hypoid-bevel back axle, hidden scuttle reinforcement hoop (save for the first few cars) and twin leading-shoe front brakes. Powered by the proven 1250cc XPAG engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg. Riding on fifteen-inch steel wheels as standard, the TD also sported a mirror-image dashboard (thus facilitating either LHD or RHD production) and chrome-plated bumpers. A great success story, the vast majority of the 29,665 cars produced were sold overseas. First registered on the 4th December 1952, 'NLD 69' reputedly was first owned by a doctor who had a practice in Norwich and used the car for doing his rounds on a daily basis and kept the car until his passing in 2006. Little has been kept in the history file from this period, however it is understood that the car was taken off the road in March 1997 for two years for a full cosmetic and brake overhaul which took the car back to a bare chassis for grit blasted and repainting and then repainting of the bodywork into the current Cream and Maroon colours, and there are receipts on file for this. In 2002, the engine and gearbox were completely overhauled and electronic ignition fitted in 2005. After the first owners' passing, the car was passed to his son who owned the car until 2013 when the late owner purchased the car and he reputedly kept the car in tip top order himself. The owner's widow and vendor advises that he used the car sparingly and was 'his favourite', and used the car for trips on the continent and many car shows. Unfortunately, the passing of the owner after a long term illness now means his cars are to be sold and some mild form of recommissioning is to be expected for both, with this MG TD turning over and rolling easily, but not starting on the day of consignment (suspected to be the fuel pump). Offered with a history file containing a number of receipts for work performed and MOT tests on file, this TD is to be offered on a No Reserve basis.

Registration No: GE 3829 Chassis No: AS62366 MOT: Exempt • Part of the collection since 1990 • Elegant Six-Light Saloon coachwork with smoker's hatch • Subject to an older restoration • In need of recommissioning / renovation Introduced in October 1927, the Armstrong-Siddeley 15hp was the marque’s most affordable six-cylinder model. Boasting four bearings for both its crankshaft and camshaft, the newcomer’s 1928cc sidevalve engine also featured a detachable cylinder head which facilitated ‘decoking’. Aimed at the ‘owner driver’ market, the 15hp could be had with a range of open and closed bodystyles, the majority of which were supplied by Armstrong-Siddeley’s inhouse coachbuilder, Burlington. Gaining a higher rear axle ratio and revised rear suspension from April 1928, it was reputedly capable of pulling from 5mph to 50mph in top gear. Progressively developed, some 7,203 15hp cars are thought to have been made by the time production ceased in 1934. First registered in Glasgow on 24th February 1929 (or so its ‘GE 3829’ number plate would imply), chassis AS62366 belonged to Alan Scholes of Bury by the late 1970s. Joining the late Mr Lucas’s collection some thirty-four years ago, the Armstrong-Siddeley still sports a dashboard plaque commemorating its participation in the Lancashire Automobile Club’s Daily Telegraph-sponsored 1957 Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage car run. Self-evidently the subject of much past restoration work, the Coachbuilt Saloon has since been stored in a leaking barn and deteriorated accordingly. A rare survivor and a worthwhile project.
Registration No: DG 6007 Chassis No: S16400 MOT: Exempt • In single family ownership since purchase by the vendor's father in 1964 • Fitted with four speed pre-selector gearbox • Described as a running project 'perfect for oily rag' • Supplied with full set of sidescreens and hood plus a number of spare parts • VSCC Post Vintage Thoroughbred Eligible Introduced in October 1928, the Armstrong Siddeley 12hp was arguably the marque's first model to target mass market sales. Powered by a sidevalve, six-cylinder 1236cc engine, the newcomer offered class competitive performance and was more refined than some four-cylinder rivals. Initially available as a two-seater coupe, four-seater tourer or fabric saloon, the 12hp could be had with more elaborate coachwork by October 1930 including a coachbuilt saloon derivative which was nicely crafted but decidedly heavy. More information to follow. For more information, please contact: Lucas Gomersall lucas.gomersall@handh.co.uk 07484 082430
Registration No: DYB 19X Chassis No: WDB12322022084 MOT: Exempt • 82,500 recorded miles • The best driving W123 that the vendor has ever experienced • Well preserved original interior • Preferred automatic transmission Introduced in 1975, Mercedes-Benz's W123 series cars perpetuated the marque's enviable reputation for engineering integrity. Well built with a sense of solidity missing from today's model range, the W123 cars featured all round independent coil sprung suspension, disc brakes and power steering. Devoid of exterior plastic trim and regarded by some as the last of the 'chrome era' Mercedes, W123s have begun to attract a cult following. Powered by a 1997cc four-cylinder engine producing some 108bhp and 125lbft of torque and equipped with either manual or four-speed automatic transmission, the 200 models were reputedly capable of 104mph and 0-60mph in 14.4 seconds.

Built to order number 0253783102 for the UK market, chassis WDB12322022084221 left the factory finished in Orient Red with Beige cloth upholstery. Fitted with power steering, automatic transmission, Zebrano wood trim, lockable glovebox and heat insulating glass, the Mercedes-Benz was first UK registered as ‘DYB 19X’ on 17th May 1982. As well as describing the 200 Saloon as ‘the best W123 I have ever driven’, the vendor rates its engine, automatic gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork as ‘very good overall’. Showing a credible 82,500 miles to its odometer, this well-preserved Mercedes-Benz is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, Kenwood face-off stereo and sundry paperwork.
Registration No: FN52 HSZ Chassis No: SCCGA11132HC73836 MOT: July 2025 • Current family ownership since 2005 and 28,000 warranted miles from new • 1 of just 50 cars produced for the home market to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Lotus's groundbreaking Type 25 Grand Prix car • Finished in Lotus Racing Green metallic with Yellow stripes and Red upholstery as a tribute to the similarly hued F1 car • Handbook, service booklet, old MOTs and Tracker paperwork etc • A highly collectible Elise S2 • Hardtop and soft-top roofs, tool kit. car cover etc Sanctioned by Classic Team Lotus, the Elise Type 25 Limited Edition was introduced in 2002 to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Hethel marque’s groundbreaking Formula 1 car (the first to utilise monocoque construction). Aping the single-seater’s iconic colour scheme, the roadgoing Type 25 was finished in Lotus Racing Green metallic with twin Yellow stripes and Red faced upholstery. Sporting the same, dramatic, insectile, Steve Crijns styling as the Elise S2 111S model upon which it was based, the Limited Edition was thus powered by a 1.8 litre K-Series engine with VVC allied to five-speed manual transmission. Improved crash protection notwithstanding, the lightweight two-seater’s bonded aluminium structure and GRP outer panels meant that it weighed little more than 800kgs. Making the most of its modest outputs (156bhp/129lbft), the Lotus was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds and 132mph. Allocation of the fifty Type 25 Limited Editions made was split between the UK (forty-five) and Australian (five) markets. This particular example – Car 46/50 – was bought by the vendor’s son, Corporal James ‘Jim’ Oakland RMP, during October 2005 and is warranted to have covered just 28,200 miles from new. The accompanying service book carries entries at 1,229, 4,615, 7,532, 17,968 and 26,036 miles. Tragically, Jim Oakland was killed whilst on active service in Afghanistan. His wish that his brother and father should enjoy the Lotus has proven hard to fulfil with the result that it has seen minimal usage over the past fifteen years. Kept garaged it remains highly original and comes with both soft-top and hardtop roofs. Freshly MOT tested ahead of the sale, the Elise S2 is nonetheless overdue a cambelt service. A sought after limited edition, this low mileage Type 25 is offered for sale with original bookpack and Tracker paperwork etc. For more information, please contact: Damian Jones damian.jones@handh.co.uk 07855 493737
Registration No: C2 CAJ Chassis No: WDB1232802F056422 MOT: June 2025 • 90,500 credible miles recorded • Powered by a 1997cc four-cylinder petrol engine mated to a manual gearbox • Offered with a collection of invoices and current V5c document • A late example of the W123 series of cars produced Introduced in 1975, Mercedes-Benz's W123 series cars perpetuated the marque's enviable reputation for engineering integrity. Well built with a sense of solidity missing from today's model range, the W123 cars featured all round independent coil sprung suspension, disc brakes and power steering. Devoid of exterior plastic trim and regarded by some as the last of the 'chrome era' Mercedes, W123s have begun to attract a cult following. Powered by a 1997cc four-cylinder engine producing some 108bhp and 125lbft of torque and equipped with either manual or four-speed automatic transmission, the 200 models were reputedly capable of 104mph and 0-60mph in 14.4 seconds.

Registration No: JKW 4 Chassis No: TD/27364 MOT: Exempt • Current family ownership since 1975 • Desirable 'home market' example to 'TD2' specification • Showing just 4,6 miles on the odometer which is believed genuine • Pleasingly presented in its believed original colour scheme and with its original registration number ‘JKW 4’ Although, instantly recognisable as a T-series model thanks to its perpendicular radiator shell, flowing wings and rear-mounted spare wheel, the TD broke important new ground for the Abingdon marque. The first MG sportscar to feature either independent double-wishbone front suspension or rack and pinion steering, the newcomer also boasted a hypoid-bevel back axle, hidden scuttle reinforcement hoop (save for the first few cars) and twin leading-shoe front brakes. Powered by the proven 1250cc XPAG engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, it was reputedly capable of 82mph and 26mpg. Riding on fifteen-inch steel wheels as standard, the TD also sported a mirror-image dashboard (thus facilitating either LHD or RHD production) and chrome-plated bumpers. A great success story, the vast majority of the 29,665 cars produced were sold overseas. A desirable 'home market' example to 'TD2' specification, chassis ‘TD/27364’ was completed on the 4th of May 1953. Road registered as ‘JKW 4’ eight days later, the two-seater is believed to have been supplied new to a Mr Peter Friedlander of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, who owned the car through to 1975. Then purchased by the vendor’s late father in 1975, the MG was used only for ‘Sunday best’ and shows, sharing its garage space over the years with a couple of J2 Midgets, and a TA Tickford. Covering minimal mileage throughout the current family ownership, since the passing of the vendor’s father, her husband has maintained and very lightly used the TD ever since, until he sadly passed away in 2023. Displaying an incredibly low believed genuine but unwarranted 4,642 miles on its odometer, only approximately 1,500 miles have been covered in the hands of the vendor's family. ‘JKW 4’ started readily and ran well during our recent photography session, but will require recommissioning following the gentle use, and specifically attention to the brakes. Finished in Ivory and trimmed in Red with contrasting Black weather equipment (hood, tonneau, and sidescreens – all of which are showing their age), the two-seater had the carburettors professionally refurbished two years ago and a new master cylinder renewed in the last few years too. Offered for sale with a history file that includes a selection of previous invoices, the buff logbook, a couple of previous MOTs, and a current V5C document.

Registration No: PXS 797 Chassis No: 20853 MOT: Exempt • Shooting Brake coachwork by Reeve & Kenning of Chesterfield • Subject to an extensive restoration by Fisher Restoration • Offered with a copy of the factory records and a collection of invoices • Current V5C document and a collection of restoration photographs Entering production in 1946, the new Alvis TA14 was a successful update of the pre-WW2 12/70 (designed by George Lanchester). With a two-inch longer wheelbase and four-inch wider track as well as some additional chassis bracing, it offered an improved ride and sharper handling. Credited with 65bhp, its 1892cc OHV four-cylinder engine was mated to a four-speed manual gearbox (with synchromesh on the top three gears) which drove the rear wheels via a hypoid back axle. Reputedly capable of over 75mph and accelerating from 0-60mph in 22 seconds, the model employed Girling twin leading shoe drum brakes all round. While the majority were supplied as Mulliner-bodied four-door saloons, the TA14 could also be had with two-door drophead coupe coachwork by Carbodies or Tickford and Shooting Brake coackwork by Reeve & Kennings like the sale example. Some 3,311 examples are said to have been produced during the four years of production.

Registration No: TGR 144V Chassis No: 9B08RJY155226 MOT: Exempt • Rare 'homologation special' being 1 of only 18 known survivors out of 33 built • Correct 2.3-litre Twin Cam engine with twin 48 Dellorto carburettors and ‘Works’ exhaust manifold • Receipts on file for £16,000 worth of expense to GP4 specification with under 2,000 miles covered since full ground-up overhaul • The fastest Tarmac Rally Car of its generation! ‘The success, and the refinement, of the HS and HSR models is almost entirely to the credit of Bill Blydenstein, Gerry Johnstone and the mechanics at the Blydenstein business at Shepreth, and little to do with the factory's own efforts' (Graham Robson, Vauxhall Chevette HS and HSR) Introduced in 1975, the Vauxhall Chevette was part of parent company GM's ‘T-car' programme. The newcomer proved a sales success but having attended that year's RAC Rally, incoming Vauxhall chairman Bob Price decided that a halo model along the lines of Ford's high-profile Escort RS machines would enhance its showroom appeal still further. To this end, he approached Bill Blydenstein who was already running the Dealer Team Vauxhall race programme with a brief to transform the Chevette into a rally car. Never one to shirk a challenge, Blydenstein made good use of the GM parts bin. Following the established small car / big engine formula, the resultant Chevette HS was powered by a 2.3 litre 16-valve ‘slant four' allied to a five-speed Getrag transmission. Riding on Chevrolet Vega alloy wheels and equipped with beefier Opel Kadett C GT/E suspension and rear axle, it proved fast, chuckable and raucous in equal measure. Some 400 examples had to be made to achieve Group 4 homologation and thanks to Blydenstein's ability to squeeze a quart into a pint pot, Vauxhall attracted the driving talents of Pentti Airikkala, Jimmy McRae, Russell Brookes and Tony Pond. A match for the Ford Escort RS1800 on tarmac in HS guise, the Chevette became its superior when it evolved into the HSR. Nicknamed ‘Plastic Fantastic', the latter employed fibreglass for its front air dam, bonnet, rear spoiler, tailgate, and front / rear wings. Lighter and more aerodynamic than its predecessor, the HSR also boasted a greater range of transmission and rear axle options. Better able to deploy its considerable power and torque thanks to improved five-link rear suspension and wider wheels, Vauxhall's diminutive hatchback continued to embarrass rivals on tarmac well into the Group B era. The HS won the British Open Rally Championship for Drivers in 1979, while the HSR claimed the manufacturers' crown two years later. Vauxhall were supposed to build 50 HSR cars but Blydenstein's Shepreth-based outfit only managed to complete 34. The merger between Dealer Team Vauxhall and Dealer Opel Team saw the newly formed GM Dealer Sport switch its attention to the Opel Manta 400 which was a pity because Blydenstein was working on a 2.6 litre HSR which he felt could have changed the face of rallying! Chassis ‘155226’ remained in road car guise for just the first two years of its life before being converted to full rally competition specification, being campaigned across Belgium and the UK. Over the following years, the Chevette was sold and at some stage had the engine and gearbox removed. Purchased by the vendor as a rolling shell, the vendor embarked on a comprehensive restoration in 2020 using the correct type engine and gearbox, with numerous of the restoration and build work photographed on file. Built to FIA Historic GP4 Regulations, ‘TGR 144V’ was taken back to a bare shell, with all the rust removed, a new rear tub welded in and the shell strengthened, with the exhaust tunnel grafted in as per works cars before full bare metal re-paint, and a period cage fitted. Propelled by the correct type 2,300cc Twin-Cam engine, fully lightened and balanced, with Twin 48-Dellortos carburettors, ‘Works’ engine mounts, ‘Works’ exhaust manifold, all new ancillaries, alloy radiator, electric fan, and new cam belt, allied to the Getrag five-speed ‘Dog Leg’ gearbox as used in the Works cars in period. A heavy-duty competition clutch is fitted with Works type bias pedal box, and the ZF Limited Slip Differential (5.1 CWP) which has recently been overhauled. Stopping power is provided by AP Monte Carlo forest front brakes and on the Atlas fully floating rear axle, again, correct AP racing rear calipers are utilised. All the fuel and brake lines run inside the car using braided hoses with alloy or stainless steel fittings, along with an electric fuel pump and period rally wiring loom. Works type rose jointed bottom arms are fitted, as well as heavy-duty front hubs and a quick steering rack. Inside, the HSR features a Co-Drivers footrest, plumbed-in fire extinguisher (albeit needing a service), hand-held fire extinguisher, Monit Rally trip meter, OMP seats and Hans type harnesses (both in date until 2027). Riding on four nearly new Minilte-style 6x13 Revolution Wheels, they are shod with Toyo tyres, with the external appearance completed by the essential four Cibie Oscar's spotlights. With just 2,000 miles covered since the full overhaul with receipts on file for £16,000 worth of expense, the Chevette is accompanied by a spare set of headlights and a set of front brake pads. Genuine HSR FIA specification cars rarely come to market, and this example has invites to events all over Europe, and since completion has had a 100% finishing record on the five events it has competed in (two rallies and three hillclimbs), making it one very much worth considering!

Registration No: R265 YNB Chassis No: WDB1290632F160025 MOT: May 2025 • Modest mileage of just 74,000 miles from new • Current ownership since 2011 with just three former keepers • Offered with documented service history from predominantly Mercedes-Benz main agents and specialists • Rated as ‘very good’ throughout by the vendor The fourth generation of Mercedes-Benz’s much-vaunted SL model (the R129 Series) was launched at the Geneva Motor Show of 1989. It was a beautifully engineered motorcar that bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features. The specification included independent suspension all round (double wishbone at the front/five-link system at the rear), adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, integral roll-over bar and front airbags. When introduced in 1993, the SL320 variant featured a DOHC in-line six-cylinder engine of 220bhp and was continued through to 2002. Manufactured in 1997, the SL 320 offered was registered new in the United Kingdom on the 30th of September that year. Finished from the factory in Obsidian Black metallic paintwork with Mushroom leather interior upholstery, and a Black electric hood, the SL was specified with the options of headlamp cleaning equipment and rear seats. Purchased by the vendor in 2011, the Mercedes-Benz has had just three former keepers and is offered with just 74,000 miles from new on the odometer. It's supplied with the original book pack, containing the stamped service book that has documented service history from predominantly Mercedes-Benz main agents and specialists and has nine stamps, as well as the PDI stamp. Also offered with a collection of previous MOTs, a no advisory MOT certificate until May 2025, and a current V5C document, the SL is further accompanied by the original hardtop with plug-in heated rear windscreen and the hardtop stand is available by separate negotiation.

Registration No: TF 23 Chassis No: OH 9555 MOT: Exempt • Extensively renovated at considerable expense since entering current ownership • Long-term previous custodianship (from 1982 until 2016) • Tourer coachwork presents excellently and the 2-Litre ran and drove well during our photography session • Large history file including previous ‘buff’ log books and numerous invoices • Pleasingly still in possession of its original registration number ‘TF 23’ Having established its reputation by winning the Moscow - St Petersburg Reliability Trial of 1910 with a 30hp six, Lagonda concentrated mainly on the production of light cars before reverting to sporting and luxury models in the mid-1920s with the introduction of the 14/60. The latter abandoned the firm's traditional in-unit gearbox in favour of a midships-mounted transmission, but of greater technical interest was the engine. Designed by Arthur Davidson, the 2-litre 'four' featured twin camshafts, mounted high in the block, operating inclined valves in hemispherical combustion chambers. Power output of this advanced design was a highly respectable 60bhp. For the 1929 season, a 'low chassis' Speed Model was introduced, featuring revisions to the frame's front end and a higher-compression engine fitted with twin carburettors. More information following shortly. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452
Registration No: R663 UDD Chassis No: WDB1290632F158049 MOT: November 2024 • Modest mileage of just 79,500 miles from new • Long-term current ownership since 2008 with just three former keepers • Offered with extensive service history • Registered as ’19 DE’ when new The fourth generation of Mercedes-Benz’s much-vaunted SL model (the R129 Series) was launched at the Geneva Motor Show of 1989. It was a beautifully engineered motorcar that bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features. The specification included independent suspension all round (double wishbone at the front/five-link system at the rear), adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, integral roll-over bar and front airbags. When introduced in 1993, the SL320 variant featured a DOHC in-line six-cylinder engine of 220bhp and was continued through to 2002. Manufactured in 1997, the SL 320 offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered as ‘19 DE’ on the 8th of September. Finished from the factory in Black Green paintwork with a Grey leather interior upholstery and a Black hood, the SL was specified with the 8-hole light alloy wheels, headlamp cleaning equipment, speakers front and rear, electric seats, cruise control, and CD radio. Offered now having covered a modest mileage of just 79,500 miles from new, the Mercedes-Benz has had just three former keepers, entering into current ownership in 2008. The vendor informs that ‘R663 UDD’ has been regularly serviced and is offered with extensive service history, with the vendor rating the Mercedes-Benz as ‘good’ throughout (in regard to bodywork, paintwork, engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, and interior trim). The vendor notes that there is a small crack in the soft top window on the edge. For more information, please contact: Paul Cheetham paul.cheetham@handh.co.uk 07538 667452
Registration No: M824 UMO Chassis No: WDB1240662C202965 MOT: December 2024 • Sought after, UK-supplied, W124 Convertible • Part of a private collection since 2019 • Used for touring around the UK and Europe Introduced in 1986, the W124-series was arguably the last Mercedes-Benz model range to have its design parameters laid down by engineers rather than accountants. Based around a lighter, stiffer and more aerodynamic bodyshell than its predecessor, the newcomer could be had in saloon, estate, coupe or cabriolet guises. Re-branded as the E-class in 1993, the mid-size Mercedes remained the class benchmark throughout its nine-year European production life. Among the more sporting variants, the E320 Cabriolet was powered by a 3199cc DOHC 24-valve (216bhp/229lbft) straight-six engine allied to automatic transmission. Admirably refined, the model was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in eight seconds and 140mph. Built to order number 0453750530 for the UK market, chassis WDB1240662C202965 left the factory finished in the handsome combination of Tourmaline Green metallic with Beige leather upholstery and a Black soft-top. A desirable Sportline model, its specification also included air-conditioning, sports chassis, 8-hole alloy wheels, heated front seats and headlamp wash/wipe. Entering the current (seventh) ownership during 2019, the Mercedes-Benz is said to have proven ‘totally reliable’ whilst undertaking tour-type rallies all around the UK and Europe (its most recent being a two-week sortie to Norway). Marque specialist serviced earlier this month and wearing its 145,000 miles well, this appealing E320 Cabriolet is MOT’d until December and a reluctant sale due to downsizing.
Registration No: EG 4984 Chassis No: 7002307 MOT: Exempt • Part of the collection since 1988 • Very rare pre-WW2 light commercial • In need of recommissioning / renovation Part of the Rootes Group alongside Sunbeam, Talbot, Humber and Hillman, Commer utilised the latter’s Minx Magnificent as the basis of its 10hp light commercials from 1936 onwards. Underpinned by a conventional ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-spring suspension and four-wheel drum brakes, the Commer could be had in estate car or van guises. Powered by an 1185cc four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed all-synchromesh manual transmission, top speeds tended to be around 60mph. Updated for the 1938 model-year, the Commer 10hp gained a new radiator grille design and more rounded wings. First registered in the Soke of Peterborough on October 1st 1938 (or so its ‘EG 4984’ number plate would imply), chassis 7002307 belonged to Oliver Judd of Banbury some forty-six years later. Self-evidently the subject of past restoration work, the Commer joined the late Mr Lucas’s collection during 1988. Sporting a Crosley Roamio radio, the somewhat spartan interior also features an extendable load bay courtesy of its fold-down rear seat. Off the road for decades, the 10hp ‘Woodie’ will require recommissioning / refurbishment prior to use but appears to be substantially complete. A rare and interesting, light Pre-WW2 commercial.
Registration No: ECK 275D Chassis No: 57105948 MOT: Exempt Among the longest standing members of the collectionThought to have prevsiously served with the Armed Forces before being decommissioned in 1966No former keepers shown on its accompanying V5C Registration DocumentsReputedly uprated with a later 2.25 litre engineIn need of recommissioning / restorationThis is where 'The Best 4x4 by Far' started - a utility vehicle devised in 1947 by the Wilks brothers for use on their farm which drew inspiration from the wartime Jeep. Thanks to its ingenious high/low ratio four-wheel drive system, the resultant 4x4 possessed incredible climbing capabilities in all conditions (including battlefields). Boasting a roomier cabin than its 80in predecessor, many consider the short-lived 86in (1954-1956) to be the best of the Series 1 Land Rovers. Built during the 1955 model year but not issued with the Preston number plate ‘ECK 275D’ until 23rd November 1966, chassis 57105948 is believed to have spent its first eleven years in service with the British Armed Forces. Part of the late Mr Lucas’s collection since at least the late 1970s when the DVLA computerised their ownership records, the Land Rover is thought to have been uprated with a later / more powerful engine at some stage if only because the accompanying V5C quotes the cubic capacity as 2286cc. The same document also lists no former keepers. Passing its most recent MOT test on 17th March 2011 at an indicated 52,306 miles with ‘no advisories’, the Series I has since deteriorated and as such will require recommissioning / restoration prior to use.
Registration No: 412 XUG Chassis No: 206ESU219078 MOT: Exempt • Benefitting from an exhaustive restoration between 2017 and 2020 • Every area of the car restored, overhauled, or refreshed • Under 3,000 miles completed since the completion of the restoration • Finished in Pacific Blue over Ermine White paintwork with Two-Tone Grey interior trim • Surely one of, if not, the best example extant! Ford's Consul, Zephyr and Zodiac models were heavily revamped and restyled for the 1956 model year, during which the engine capacity of the six-cylinder cars was increased to 2553cc, which in turn raised the output to 86bhp. The model came with the choice of three-speed manual gearbox and the option of overdrive, or Borg Warner automatic transmission. The Consul, Zephyr, Zodiac line were offered in Saloon, or conversions when new into Estate (by Farnham) and Convertible (by Carbodies) versions. The Zodiac and Zephyr were also offered in two Saloon body styles, the "Highline" and "Lowline". Manufactured in 1959, this Zephyr was supplied new to South Africa and is finished in the highly complementary colour scheme of two-tone Pacific Blue and Ermine White paintwork with a complementary Two-Tone Grey leather interior upholstery and Blue carpeting. Arriving in the United Kingdom from South Africa in 2007, the Zephyr had three keepers before entering the ownership of the vendor in 2017. A highly skilled classic car mechanic, the vendor thereafter provided ‘SU219078’ with an exhaustive three-year restoration, despite noting that the Zephyr was a presentable and solid example to start with, which reached completion in 2020. Every area of the car was restored, overhauled, or refreshed with some of the restoration work completed comprising small welding repairs before fastidious preparation of the bodywork and attention to the panel gaps (with the doors re-pinned and strikers re-done) before a bare metal repaint; a full engine overhaul with the block acid dipped; gearbox, brakes, suspension, and steering overhauls; extensive sound deadening; full interior reupholstery; extensive re-chroming and re-polishing of the stainless-steel work; new white-wall tyres, and many new parts throughout. Completing less than 3,000 miles since the restoration’s completion, the Zephyr has attended numerous shows as well as touring the Lakes and Scarborough. Maintained fastidiously since, the only main deviation from factory specification is fitment of an electronic ignition, with the Zephyr offered now unsurprisingly rated as ‘excellent’ throughout. Featuring the factory options of colour coded steering wheel, spot lamp and sun-visor, the Zephyr is supplied with a history file that includes a full photographic record of the restoration work. Starting readily and running excellently during the recent photography session, ‘412 XUG’ is surely one of, if not the best example extant and is not one to be missed!

Registration No: WC 1312 Chassis No: M3843 MOT: Exempt • The subject of an older restoration • Well built and well engineered in true Humber fashion • An appealing and affordable Vintage Tourer Introduced for the 1925 season, the 12/25 was a well-engineered, solidly built design that furthered Humber's reputation as a quality marque. Based around a conventional ladder-frame chassis with a 9ft 1in wheelbase and 4ft 7in track, it featured all round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and drum brakes. Rated at 12HP by the treasury, its 1795cc, four-cylinder engine utilised overhead inlet and side exhaust valves. Producing some 25hp @ 3,000 rpm, this torquey unit reputedly gave the model a top speed of 54mph. A reflection of its greater merit and finesse, the Humber cost up to fifty per cent more than the equivalent Austin or Morris. Only in production for two years surviving 12/25s are a rarity. Finished in Maroon over Black with Black upholstery, ‘WC 1312’ presents as an older restoration. Variously described by the vendor as being in ‘scruffy’ (brush paintwork, interior trim), ‘average’ (engine, gearbox, electrical equipment) or ‘good’ (bodywork) condition, the Humber boasts an Auster screen and full weather equipment (the latter incorporating hinged sidescreens). Recently loaned to a friend for a rally, the 12/25 is summed-up by the seller as ‘a car to use and improve’.
Registration No: YTH 862N Chassis No: 48110868D MOT: Exempt • Believed genuine 85,421 miles from new • Supplied with large history file dating back to the mid 1980's • Liveried in the attractive colours of Mexico Brown over a Tan cloth interior • Recently subject to recommissioning work after a period of lay up Introduced in 1963, the Rover P6 was a truly innovative design. Based around an unusual 'pontoon' chassis equipped with bolt-on panels, coil-sprung suspension (inboard at the front a la contemporary F1 cars) and servo-assisted disc brakes, it won the inaugural 'Car of the Year' award. Launched in 1971, the flagship 3500S model was powered by a 3528cc OHV V8 engine mated to four-speed manual transmission. Quoted as developing some 150bhp and 201lbft of torque, it was capable of 0-60mph in 9.2 seconds and 123mph. Sporting the same matt black grille and improved interior as its lesser post-1970 facelift siblings, it came with a vinyl roof and Rostyle type wheels as standard. According to an accompanying email from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, 'YTH 862N' was manufactured at the Lode Lane Factory in Solihull on the 11th September 1974 and was first registered on the 26th of the same month. Little is known of the early history of the 3500S, however there is history dating back to an MOT certificate on August 20th 1984 with the recorded mileage at 36,158 miles. Supplied in the iconic colours of Mexico Brown over a tan cloth interior with a Tobacco Brown vinyl roof, it has a number of optional extras including the desirable fitment of power steering. The Rover has been evidently cherished during its lifetime, with a number of big invoices on file including an extensive amount of work to the engine, brakes and clutch in 2012 for £1505.56 from Crown Classic Cars Ltd in Twickenham. Owned by the vendor since 2016, he advises that he purchased the car for his private collection from a gentleman based in Chelsea, London and drove the car for a couple of years covering around 1000 miles before laying it up in dry storage. In the vendor's ownership he has changed the tyres, completed a full respray in the original colour in 2022 and replaced the vinyl roof in 2023. The car has been recently recommissioned with an extensive service, carburettor rebuild and inlet manifold gasket. He has also completed a full rebuild of the de-dion rear suspension and the engine bay has been detailed with the airboxes being sandblasted and powder coated. The vendor advises that this range-topping Rover is now mechanically ready for the road and describes the car as being 'very good' to drive, and that the interior is very original with some wear to be expected which he has preserved rather than replacing and he describes it as 'charming'.

Registration No: SFM 443K Chassis No: 24118646B MOT: Exempt • Off the road for forty years • In service with the British Armed Forces before being decommissioned during 1972 • In need of extensive restoration A sympathetic update of its much-loved predecessor, the Land Rover Series II was introduced in April 1958. Featuring sill panels and a rounded wing/belt line, the newcomer’s sleeker sheet metal was the work of David Bache and clothed an improved chassis. Thus, as well as better rear wheel articulation and sharper steering, the Series II boasted wider axles and a new gearbox (complete with synchromesh on 3rd and 4th gears). Available with a choice of 2.25-litre petrol or 2-litre diesel four-cylinder engines, the Land Rover could be had in 88-inch or 109-inch wheelbase guises (though, the SWB model made do with a petrol 2-litre unit until September 1958). A popular model, the Series II accounted for some 62,000 sales in its first two years of production. Announced in 1961, the subtly upgraded Series IIA benefited from an improved cooling system and the arrival of a 2.25-litre diesel engine. Export models had their headlamps repositioned in the front wings for 1968 with domestic Landies gaining the same revised visage the following year. Phased out of production in 1971, the Series IIA is judged by some to be the most durable Series Land Rover ever made. Built during 1964 but not issued with the Chester registration number ‘SFM 443K’ until 25th February 1972, chassis 24118646B still bears the dashboard plaque which attests to its military service (under identity number ’63 EN 50’). Acquired by Jonathan Harrison of Chester during 1977, the Land Rover joined the late Mr Lucas’s collection five years later. Used for a variety of farm duties since its last tax disc expired in May 1984, the Series IIA has suffered corrosion to its chassis and bulkhead such that the driver’s door no longer fits properly. The aluminium bodywork and fibreglass cab appear to have fared much better with the former being notably straight. A non-runner in need of total restoration, it nonetheless possess a certain appeal.
Registration No: C7 DWL Chassis No: SAJJNAEC7CC122807 MOT: None • Part of the collection since 2004 • Desirable five-speed manual gearbox • Extensive history file • In need of recommissioning / renovation Introduced in October 1983, the Jaguar XJ-S 3.6 was intended to be a sharper, more sporting foil to the range's established, soporific 5.3-litre V12 model. To emphasise the difference, it was fitted with a five-speed manual Getrag gearbox as standard. With some 225bhp and 240lbft of torque on tap courtesy of its 3590cc DOHC 24 valve straight-six, the claimed 140mph top speed and 0-60mph time of 7.4 seconds were a near match for the V12. Yet when such performance was not called upon, it could reputedly return thirty miles per gallon, a feat beyond the V12's capabilities. A revised, more positive feel to the power steering improved the handling still further. Supplied new by Dutton-Forshaw North West to Canberra Wells Ltd of Manchester on 2nd August 1985, chassis SAJJNAEC7CC122807 has sixteen entries in its accompanying service book the last of which was made by D.W. Lucas Motor Engineer on 10th June 2003 at 88,656 miles. Joining the late Mr Lucas’s collection the following year, the Jaguar passed its last MOT test with ‘no advisories’ on 13th April 2007 at 93,718 miles. Covering a mere 217 since then, the XJ-S has sadly deteriorated and is now in need of recommissioning / restoration. A desirable manual gearbox car, it is surely worth saving?
Registration No: LF55 HTJ Chassis No: SAJCC82R36TH05269 MOT: July 2025 • Just two former keepers recorded on HPI • A rare example and amongst the last of the Daimlers produced • Understood to be 1 of just 731 cars made • Offered with current V5c document and handbook • c.112,100 Kms recorded, (c.69,610 miles) The Daimler Super Eight, based on Jaguar’s X350 platform, bridged the traditional and modern eras of the marque. The retro styling hid 21st century technology: the body was an all-aluminium unitary construction, and other features included sound-reducing glass. The supercharged 4.2-litre V-8 was mated to a six-speed auto gearbox. It was the final production model to be built at Browns Lane and the last Daimler model that will ever be made, making this rare example a future classic. The British government and UK Royal Household are among the small number of buyers: total production over five years was 731 cars.

Registration No: DOL 1K Chassis No: 11304222016969 MOT: Exempt • Desirable UK-supplied, right-hand drive example • Subject to an exhaustive restoration that was completed in 2022 • Very minimal mileage since the completion of the restoration and still presenting excellently! • Attractive colour scheme and worthy of close inspection! Successor to both the exotic race bred 300SL 'Gullwing' Coupe and its humbler 190SL sibling, the W113 series SL proved more comfortable than the former and faster than the latter (a point emphasised by Eugen Bohringer's 1963 Liege-Sofia-Liege rally victory). First of the line, the 230SL was introduced at the March 1963 Geneva Salon. Penned by Paul Bracq, its wonderfully crisp styling clothed a monocoque chassis equipped with all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and disc brakes. Powered by a 2308cc SOHC straight-six engine mated to either an automatic or manual transmission, the model was credited with 150bhp and 159lbft of torque. Reputedly capable of 124mph, it was praised by the contemporary motoring press for its performance, roadholding, and refinement. Available in Californian Coupe, Convertible or Coupe Convertible guises, the last of these came with both a soft-top and the famous 'Pagoda' hardtop roof, so called because of its gently scalloped centre section. A highly desirable UK-supplied, right-hand drive Pagoda, this particular example was first registered in the United Kingdom as ‘DOL 1K’ on the 8th of February 1967. In previous private ownership from 1995, the Pagoda was acquired by the vendor, a serial commissioner of classic car restorations, in 2013 requiring attention. Much of the ensuing exhaustive restoration work was entrusted to Heritage Classics of Teesside, with the restoration work undertaken including, but not limited to, a comprehensive bodywork restoration and full repaint in the beautiful Blue hue as presented now; engine overhaul with new camshaft, big end, pistons, and the injection system renovated; gearbox overhaul; fuel system refreshed; full interior re-trim in Red leather including new carpets and a Black hood; renewed brakes with new discs and pads; and numerous renewed and restored cosmetics/trims, as well as new tyres. The restoration reached completion in 2017, with invoices on file totaling over £43,000 worth of expenditure (with significant further expense provided), and since the renovation's completion, a mere c.600 miles or so have been covered attending selected shows and events. Now showing just shy of 76,000 miles on the odometer, the logbook has only four former keepers recorded. Offered for sale with a history file that comprises the aforementioned invoices, a copy of the data card, a photo album of the restoration, and the current V5C document. Desirable, due to being a scarce UK-supplied example, and coming to market having only been ‘run-in’ from exhaustive restoration, this Pagoda is an inviting prospect. Not only that, but a useful body-coloured hardtop that be deployed in the chilly winter months is a bonus too.

Registration No: 6918 UA Chassis No: HDT1365083 MOT: Exempt • Professionally converted to run an MGB 1800cc engine and automatic gearbox • Finished in the desirable Tartan Red over a Black interior • Offered with history file including receipts for work • Sold as part of a deceased estate at 'No Reserve' Introduced in Autumn 1955, the MGA Roadster married a proven chassis design complete with independent front suspension and rack and pinion steering to a new B-series four-cylinder, pushrod-ohv engine. Borrowing cues from the Abingdon factory's successful EX182 prototype racers (5th- and 6th-in-class at that year's Le Mans) its wonderfully elegant styling ensured strong sales on both sides of the Atlantic. Continually updated, the MGA range was joined by Coupe and 'Twin Cam' variants in 1956 and 1958 respectively. Prompted by the latter's performance advantage, the standard pushrod model received a capacity increase to 1588cc and front disc brakes in May 1959. The resultant '1600' MKI was capable of almost 100mph. First registered on the 18th July 1959 and one of the last 1489cc cars supplied, '6918 UA' is believed to have been first supplied to the Leeds area and retains its original registration marque to show this. Little is known of the history of the car until 1989, when the car was acquired by a Mrs Shepherd of North Walsham, Norfolk. Painted green at this time (and thought to have been green when new) the MGA was evidently cherished as there are a number of large invoices on file which included a full engine overhaul in 1991. Mrs Shepherd sold the car onto a Mrs Dunnett, also of Norfolk, in 2010 who chose to entrust MG Mecca of Norfolk to carry out a full cosmetic and mechanical refresh which included uprating the sports car with an MGB 1800cc engine and Borg Warner 35 Automatic gearbox plus disc brakes. Cosmetically, the car was repainted in the iconic MG Tartan Red and the interior was refreshed with a new black carpet set and vinyl trim and a new hood was also fitted. The total cost of these works amounted to £22,332.73 and further works were undertaken by MG Mecca until the car was sold through them to the current, late owner in 2015. The late owner, Mr Ward, was fanatical about maintenance on his cars as he regularly used them for trips to the continent and varioius classic car shows with his widow. Unfortunately, the declining health of Mr Ward has meant that the MGA has not been used on the road for some time and it is now recommended for mild recommissioning works prior to use. Upon our inspection we noted that '6918 UA' is a very presentable car, with some small marks from use, and the vendor noted that the automatic conversion appears to look comestically 'period correct', indicating a high standard of work performed. Now offered for sale on a No Reserve basis, this presents a fabulous opportunity for any prospective owner who lusts after a classic sports car without many of the difficulties of driving an entirely original example.

Registration No: TAW 234H Chassis No: 4712907849 MOT: Exempt • Significantly improved during current ownership • Finished from new in special order (two-year only) Metallic Gold paintwork • Highly original example that was supplied new to California • Matching numbers example • Supplied new with Porsche Certificate of Conformity By the late 1960s, Porsche was looking for a replacement for its 912, while Volkswagen needed a substitute for the outgoing Karmann Ghia. The companies agreed on a collaborative solution and the 914 was born in 1969. A mid-engined chassis was penned and manufactured by Karmann Ghia. Versions to be sold by Volkswagen (914/4) were initially equipped with a 1.7-litre version of the company's air-cooled flat-four unit and other VW hardware, while examples destined for Porsche showrooms (914/6) were sent to Stuttgart and fitted with the same 2.0-litre flat six engine as used in the 911T. Both cars utilised the 911's '901' gearbox suitably modified for the mid-engined configuration. It was felt double-branding would be risky in America, so both versions carried the Porsche badge there. Though the quicker and better handling of the two cars, the 914/6 suffered from slow sales and was discontinued in 1972 after a production run of some 3,350 cars. The resulting gap in the line-up was filled by a second Volkswagen engined model powered by a 95bhp 2.0-litre version of the company's fuel-injected Type 4 unit. 914/4 production ceased in 1976 after in excess of 115,646 examples had been made, making it Porsche's best-selling model of the time. Chassis ‘4712907849’ was manufactured in December 1970 for the 1971 model year, being supplied new to California. Finished in the two-year only (MY 1971 and 1972) paintwork colour of Gold Metallic with Midnight leatherette with Basketweave inlay interior upholstery, the 914 was specified from new with Green top tinted windscreen. Provided with a comprehensive restoration while a resident of America (believed between 2010 and 2015), the 914 was thereafter imported by a British collector, arriving on our shores in 2017. A highly original and ‘matching’ numbers example, the 914 has been provided with much further improvement in recent years. The most significant works have been a top-end engine overhaul costing over £2,000 by air cooled engine specialists Aircooled Hut, and bodywork attention including to the notorious ‘hell hole’ costing almost £2,000. Additional maintenance and improvement work completed over the last few years has included four new tyres, a fuel system refresh with a new fuel pump, renewed starting equipment by Mellors Elliot including 123 distributor, and an inspection by Porsche Centre Sheffield. Starting readily and running well during the recent photography session, the 914 presents on the correct type Mahle alloy wheels with spare and has 99,000 miles recorded on the odometer. Offered with a history file that includes documentation from the Porsches time in America, a collection of invoices for maintenance and improvements from here and in America, a Porsche Certificate of Conformity, owner manual, 914 Tech Tips guide, Maintenance and Warranty Guide, and a current V5C document, and is also accompanied by a car cover. Notably nice 914 examples such as this are few and far between, and this example finished from new in a two-year only colour and with matching numbers has much to recommend it.

Registration No: 129 FUO Chassis No: WMA23441812 MOT: Exempt In current ownership the last 27 years, and having covered just 95 miles over this periodJust 79,165 miles on the odometerSubject to long-term restoration starting in 2002, and completed between 2006 and 2010.Launched in the summer of 1959 as Sir Alec Issigonis's sideswipe at the bubble car which had swept through Europe in the late 1950s, the Mini was truly a revolutionary car. Packing a remarkable amount of interior space into its 10ft length by placing its 'A' series engine sideways from 'east to west' in the engine bay, the practicalities which had dominated its design concept seemed almost accidentally to produce a small car which on its rubber-cone suspension and 10-inchwheels was remarkable fun to drive. Possessing light and incredibly accurate steering, minimal bodyroll and tremendous grip the Mini was described by the contemporary motoring press as the first car in which there was no need to slow down for corners! The Mini featured many of Issigonis's personal design quirks, for instance there was no provision for a radio as he did not agree with them and he believed the famous 'bus-driver' driving position kept the driver alert by preventing him/her getting too comfortable! Launched in BMC tradition as both an Austin (the Seven, or 'Se7en' in contemporary advertising) and a Morris (Mini-Minor) it was the 'Mini' name that stuck in the long term. Although had original marketing plans to call the Austin version the 'Newmarket' succeeded then this could perhaps have been very different! Sales were initially sluggish but the Mini's rapid acceptance amongst the elite as 'the' car to be seen in soon saw this overcome and by 1963 it had dislodged the Ford Anglia to become the best selling car in the UK. This particular example benefits from being a De-Luxe variant of the Morris Mini Minor. First registered on 01 September 1960, little is known of the early life of ‘129 FUO’, until it was purchased by a Malcolm John Sheas of Brixham in September 1993. Sheas would own the car for just shy of four years, before it was sold to the current owner on 07 August 1997, at that time showing just 79,070 miles on the odometer. In October 2002, the car was subject to a long term restoration with Colin Groom, with photographs in the history file showing the car before, during and once completed. This restoration lasted until at least February 2006 and perhaps later, with photographs of the finished car presented in the attractive shade of Maroon with two-tone red and grey interior dated 2010. Since its purchase, the car has been used sparingly and stored in a dry garage. To be exact, just 95 miles over the last 27 years. Now showing 79,165 miles on the odometer, the car still presents well, although would benefit from a recommissioning service ready for its new owner. Offered for sale for somebody else to enjoy and due to the sad passing of the long term owner, this presents a rare opportunity to acquire a long term ownership, low miles, early model year Mini in a lovely colour combination.

Registration No: XDA 280 Chassis No: S827170DN MOT: Exempt • The subject of an extensive restoration by marque specialists including Fender & Broad • Matching chassis and engine numbers • Believed to be 1 of just 623 right-hand drive examples • JDHT certificate, collection of invoices and current V5C document By the time the XK150 was launched in May 1957, Jaguar had won Le Mans four times and was about to do so once again - what a backdrop against which to market a new sports car. Though the newcomer was a logical progression of the XK140, subtle changes to the bodywork gave this final iteration of the XK models a distinctly more modern air. The split windscreen was replaced with a single sweep of toughened glass and the scuttle height was raised, along with the waistline. The bonnet was widened and the bulkhead on the Roadster was moved rearwards by four inches. Inside, the walnut dashboard of the XK140 was replaced by one trimmed in leather. Thinner doors gave more interior space. The standard engine was the 3.4-litre DOHC straight-six unit of the XK140, but most early 150s were fitted with the optional SE version that sported a cylinder head with larger exhaust valves and a pair of 1.75-inch SU carburettors. Still more power was available from 1958 in the form of the 'S' engine and its straight-port head linked to three SUs, for which 250bhp was claimed. The XK150 was also the first production Jaguar to be equipped with disc brakes. At launch, the XK150 was offered in Fixed Head Coupe (FHC) and Drophead Coupe (DHC) guise, the Open Two-Seater Roadster (OTS) following in 1958. By the time the model was superseded by the E-Type, some 4,445 FHCs, 2,672 DHCs and 2,265 OTSs had been produced.

Registration No: X847 WVK Chassis No: WP0ZZZ99Z1S641006 MOT: February 2025 • c.103,000 recorded miles from 6 former keepers • Offered with owners wallet, handbook and service book • 3.4-litre engine mated to a Tiptronic gearbox • Current V5c document Asked to nominate his favourite generation of Porsche 911 during its 50th Anniversary celebrations in 2013, racing driver and journalist Tiff Needell chose the 996 commenting: "This was the model that brought the 911 into the modern world. We finally got rid of the VW pedals and had a chassis that handled in a much more progressive and controllable manner. Not a convert before, completely converted after!" Traditionalists may have decried the 996's water-cooled engine and shared Boxster componentry, however, the newcomer's use of a brand-new platform (the 911's first since 1963) meant that it was notably lighter, stiffer, and more aerodynamic than its 993 predecessor. Equipped with four-valve cylinder heads, the 996's 3.4-litre engine developed 296bhp and 258lbft (outputs comparable to those of the 993 Carrera RS's 3.8-litre unit). Allied to either a six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission, the free-revving flat-six enabled the 2+2-seater to sprint to 60mph in 5 seconds and onto 174mph. More ergonomically laid out and spacious than that of any previous 911, the 996's cabin also boasted a far better HVAC system.

Registration No: MC56 CHO Chassis No: SCBDE23W17C044339 MOT: November 2024 • 36,909 miles from new and full service history • Offered with extensive service history including 14 service stamps • Uprated entertainment system with Bluetooth and 2 keys Introduced at the New York Motor Show in April 2006, the Bentley Continental GT Convertible (or GTC) proved an immediate sales success. Determined to engineer the most torsionally rigid open four-seater that money could buy, the Crewe manufacturer incorporated additional steel tubing within the newcomer's A-posts and windscreen frame, reinforcing its sills and cross-braced the floorplan to a greater degree. The result was a class-leading 16,595ft-lb per degree. A very near match in dynamic terms for its Coupe sibling, the Convertible utilised the same crushingly powerful twin-turbocharged 6-litre W12 engine, Torsen-based permanent four-wheel drive system, massive ABS-backed disc brakes and sophisticated all-round independent air suspension. Electro-hydraulically operated, the Bentley's luxuriously padded fabric roof not only stowed away neatly but also provided almost limousine levels of refinement. Reputedly capable of over 190mph when topless, the GTC featured two sturdy steel hoops concealed beneath its rear headrests which could be deployed within fractions of a second if the onboard computer sensed an impending roll. Arguably more of a 2+2-seater than a true four-seater, the model could raise or lower its hood at speeds of up to 20mph (a nice party piece in slow-moving traffic). First registered on the 1st December 2006, 'MC56 CHO' was first supplied by Bentley Birmingham in the very attractive colour scheme of metallic grey with black wheels with a red leather interior and complemented by a red mohair hood. Having passed through four previous keepers, the owner acquired the Bentley in 2021 and has cherished it, completing a number of long distance trips onto the continent during his ownership. In the original service book, there are eight main Bentley dealer service stamps up to 13th September 2013 at 10394 miles, and then a further six stamps with Bentley specialists, with the most recent being with RR&B Garages of Bromsgrove at 34504 miles in June 2023. The odometer now displays 36909 miles. The vendor informs us that the Bentley is in overall 'very good' condition with the paintwork appearing very clean and it is hard to notice any serious imperfections. The interior is also in 'very good' condition and the leather and carpets appearing very fresh. The vendor decided during his ownership to fit a newer infotainment system with Bluetooth to make it more user friendly, but is supplying the original item with the car. Now offered for sale at an attractive guide price, this presents a fantastic opportunity to own an impressive luxury Bentley for reasonable outlay.

Registration No: IoM Registered Chassis No: WDB1241861F265975 MOT: June 2025 • Registered new in Germany and a LHD example • Automatic gearbox and 7 seats • Fitted with A/C, sunroof, electric leather heated seats and reversing sensors • 285,000 recorded KM, c.176,000 miles Subject to much mechanical improvement W124 is the Mercedes-Benz internal chassis designation reference for the 1985 to 1995 version of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Due to the high cost of German engineering and build quality, the model was designed to last many miles with awards won by high mileage versions. Front suspension is by way of a separate spring and damper whilst rear suspension features the Mercedes-Benz multi-link axle introduced in 1982 on the 190 and now standard on many modern cars. Much of the 124's engineering, along with many of its features, were advanced automotive technology at introduction and incorporated innovations that were adopted throughout the industry.

Registration No: PAS 323 Chassis No: SKMY287161 MOT: None • Part of the collection since 2003 • 2088cc engine, original specification • In need of recommissioning / renovation ‘It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no other tractor design in history that has contributed more to the feeding of the world’ (Michael Thorne, Massey Ferguson 35 and 65 Models in Detail) Launched at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel on October 1st 1956, the Massey Ferguson 35 initially sported a Grey and Bronze colour scheme before switching to Grey and Red the following year. Available in agricultural, industrial or vineyard specifications, the newcomer replaced the redoubtable TE20. Introduced on November 8th 1962, the 35-X boasted increased engine outputs and a ‘multi-power’ system which enabled the drive to shift up or down a gear without using the clutch. Massey Ferguson’s Banner Lane factory despatched 388,382 35s of all types between 1956-1964. A petrol/paraffin model, chassis SKMY287161 was first registered with the DVLA as ‘PAS 323’ on February 1st 2003. Part of the late Mr Lucas’s collection since then (if not before), the Massey Ferguson appears to be scruffy but complete. A desirable model, this 35-X should hopefully prove a straightforward and rewarding project.
Registration No: RBN 833 Chassis No: A7600069 MOT: Exempt • Part of the collection since 1999 • 56,668 recorded miles (unwarranted) • In need of recommissioning / renovation It must have been quite a feeling for Billy Rootes (by then Sir William Rootes) to rescue the company at which he had serviced an apprenticeship – Singer Motors Ltd – from bankruptcy in December 1955. The first Rootes Group Singer model, the Gazelle, was derived from its ‘Audax’ platform and debuted the following September. A ‘three box’ monocoque bodyshell styled by the celebrated American Raymon Loewy, it underpinned the Sunbeam Rapier, Hillman Minx and Singer Gazelle. Featuring independent front suspension, a ‘live’ rear axle and four wheel drum brakes, it was initially differentiated in Singer guise by the use of the Coventry marque’s proven 1.5 litre SOHC four-cylinder engine. Notable as only the 69th Singer Gazelle Series I to be manufactured, chassis A7600069 was first registered in Bolton (or so its ‘RBN 833’ number plate would imply). Strangely, the accompanying old-style V5 gives the date of first registration as 12th May 1960. Acquired by Maksood Talati of Bolton in March 1982, the 4/5-seater entered the late Mr Lucas’s collection seventeen years later. Passing its most recent MOT test with ‘no advisories’ on 17th August 2012 at an indicated 56,495 miles (less than 200 miles ago), this historic Singer is now in need of recommissioning / renovation.
Registration No: UWO 187H Chassis No: MAW5D1255947M MOT: Exempt • Finished in Smoke Grey with a light Blue interior • Offered with original handbook, accessories brochure and passport to service • Current V5c document and a collection of old MOT certificates and invoices • Said to drive 'very' well and will be driven to the sale Debuting alongside Jaguar's superbly glamorous XK120 at the 1948 London Motor Show, the Morris Minor was somewhat overshadowed. An exceptionally advanced design, the Minor was the brainchild of Sir Alec Issigonis. With a monocoque chassis, independent torsion-bar front suspension, all-round hydraulic drum brakes and rack and pinion steering the model possessed excellent handling but lacked the horsepower to exploit it. However, things improved markedly when the four-cylinder 1098cc OHV A-series equipped Series V was introduced in 1962. With up to 45bhp and 60lbft of torque being transmitted to its rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox, the Series V was reputedly capable of 77mph. From 1965, no further major production improvements were made to the Minor, with resources being channelled into improving the ADO16 (the Minor's spiritual successor and Britain's best-selling car in the 1960s), and development of the Morris Marina, which would succeed the Minor on the Cowley production lines in 1971.

Registration No: A13 BSM Chassis No: WDB2020332F851527 MOT: April 2025 • 1 of just 450 supplied to the UK market • To be sold with personalised registration number • Showing four keepers from new • Offered with extensive service history and original owners book pack • AMG Styling package and tool kit • Finished in Brilliant Silver with a Black leather interior Notable as the first AMG model to be manufactured (rather than completed) at the famous tuner's Affalterbach facility, the W202 C43 was also the first C-Class to be powered by Mercedes-Benz's mighty M113 engine. Developing a quoted 306bhp/302lbft of torque, the naturally aspirated V8 was allied to five-speed automatic transmission. Reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.7 seconds and an electronically limited 155mph, the W202 C43 AMG was only in production from 1997-2000 by which time some 4,200 had been sold worldwide. First registered on the 6th September 1999, 'A13 BSM' was supplied finished in the iconic Mercedes colours of Metallic Silver with a multi-contoured Black & Silver leather interior sitting proudly upon a set of AMG Monoblock alloy wheels. Amenities include heated power seats, climate control, after market radio/CD/Bluetooth, full size unused spare, first aid kit, warning triangle and tool kit. Having been owned by three previous owners to the vendor (who has only owned the car since May 2024, as he took it in part exchange against another classic), it comes with its original service pack showing an full service history with no fewer than 11 main dealer stamps and 10 specialist stamps, the most recent of which was less than 4000 miles ago. Described as having 'good condition' paintwork and bodywork, the vendor also advises that there is a small amount of rust bubbling on the rear arches and a small bubble on the roof, which should be easy enough to rectify. The vendor describes the car to be mechanically in 'very good condition' and that all components 'work as they should', describing the interior as being in 'very good' condition with the no wear to the driver's bolster. This rare German sports saloon is supplied with a file full of invoices, 9 MOTs and the owner's manual along with the stamped service book.

Registration No: J25 LMR Chassis No: WP0ZZZ94ZMN430364 MOT: June 2025 • In current ownership since 2016 and just four former keepers • Provided with a cambelt change including new rollers and tensioners less than 100 miles ago • Offered with documented service history • Rare and desirable UK-supplied S2 model (the majority of the 5,656 944 S2 Cabriolets made were LHD) Introduced in 1989, the Porsche 944 S2 was powered by a 3-litre DOHC four-cylinder engine allied to a five-speed manual transmission. With a quoted 208bhp and 207lbft of torque on tap, the model was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6 seconds and 150mph. The first open-topped 944 derivative - the S2 Cabriolet - featured a body built by the American Sunroof Company (ASC) of Weinsberg, Germany and many of the same styling cues as its Coupe sibling. Just 5,656 944 S2 Cabriolets were made before the model was superseded by the 968 in 1991. Chassis ‘430364’ was manufactured in 1991 and supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 22nd August. Finished in Light Blue paintwork, with Blue leather interior upholstery and a Blue hood, ‘J25 LMR’ covered the majority of its mileage in the early stages of its life, surpassing 100,000 miles by 2002. Purchased by the vendor in 2016, the 944 already boasted a strong history file with extensive service, maintenance, and improvement records on file. Further enhanced during the vendor's ownership, the 944 received a new windscreen and starter motor in 2017, new brake discs in 2018, and a new pressure regulator in 2022. In 2021, the 944 benefitted from some £1,100 worth of improvements with Loe Bank Porsche specialists with new spark plugs; the cam belt, rollers, and tensioners all replaced; and further mechanical attention, with less than 100 miles covered since. Also receiving recent new brake discs and pads, the 944 is offered now having covered c.142,700 miles, and has just four former keepers, the Cabriolet is supplied with a large history file which comprises the aforementioned numerous previous invoices, invoices from the vendor’s ownership, a large selection of MOTs dating back to the 1990s, and extensive service history across two service books and service invoices in the file illustrating sixteen services. Further supplied with two sets of keys, original tool kit, jack and spare, a current MOT until June 2025 with no advisories, and a current V5C document.

Registration No: KWE 690D Chassis No: B325000551HH0 MOT: Exempt • Just 56,000 miles from new • Supplied new to a Maria Eunice Cheslyn Healey of Sheffield • Starting readily and running well during the recent photography session • Offered with a large history file including MOTs back to 1970 Announced at the London Motor Show of 1955, the Sunbeam Rapier was the first of a new range of Rootes cars that was to include the Hillman Minx and the Singer Gazelle. A complete departure from the Sunbeam MKIII it replaced, it was a modern-looking two-door, four-seater Coupe with such standard equipment as leather trim and overdrive. The bodies were built by Pressed Steel, shipped to Thrupp & Maberly in London for painting and trimming, and then moved to the Rootes plant at Ryton-on-Dunsmore for final assembly. Though initially a little underpowered, the Rapier had inherently excellent handling and was quickly adopted for rallying. Indeed the launch of the Series II version took place at the end of the 1958 Monte Carlo Rally in which Peter Harper's Works Rapier had finished fifth overall. Over its twenty-one year reign, the model progressed through five series, the swansong being the Series V derivative introduced in 1965. Though visually almost identical to its predecessor, it was notable for its larger, five-bearing engine of 1725cc capacity. Just 3,759 Series Vs were built, making it the rarest of all versions of the model. Manufactured in 1966, the Series V Rapier offered was supplied new to a Maria Eunice Cheslyn Healey of Sheffield, being first registered on the road on the 23rd of February that year. Finished in Light Blue paintwork with a White roof, the Sunbeam features complementary Light Blue interior upholstery and carpets. Covering minimal mileage throughout its ownership, the Rapier is now offered to market having just shy of only 56,000 miles from new on the odometer. Purchased by the vendor's late father in 2018, the Sunbeam has been used occasionally, and started readily and ran well during the recent photography session, with the vendor noting that ‘KWE 690D’ drives very well, although the overdrive is not currently working (believed due to an unconfirmed wiring/solenoid issue). Offered with a large history file that contains a large selection of MOTs dating back to 1970, the buff logbook, numerous previous invoices, workshop manual, sales literature, and current V5C document. Temptingly offered without reserve, this matching chassis and engine numbers Rapier is a usable low mileage example.

Registration No: DBH 234 Chassis No: 101401 MOT: Exempt • Part of the collection since 1983 • Believed to retain much of its original Red leather upholstery • Compact Six-Light 'Top Hat' Saloon coachwork • In need of recommissioning / renovation “A very refined car, solidly built and with a certain air of dignity. The car is not one for the sporty boy but for the more sedate and those who take pride in ownership of good things. From every angle it has the appearance of quality” (Practical Motorist magazine) Introduced for the 1936 model year, the 14hp supplanted its 12hp and 12hp Plus predecessors as the smallest capacity model in the Armstrong-Siddeley range. Based around a box-section chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes, the newcomer was powered by a 1666cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed pre-selector transmission. Majoring on refinement over performance, some 3,750 were made up until 1939. First registered in Buckinghamshire on 2nd October 1936 (or so its ‘DBH 234’ number plate would imply), chassis 101401 belonged to James Martin of Elton by the late 1970s. Self-evidently the subject of a past restoration, the Armstrong-Siddeley presents in Maroon over Black with Red leather upholstery. Joining the late Mr Lucas’s collection in 1983, the 14hp has been off the road for several years. A rare survivor, it surely deserves being brought back to life?
Registration No: G306 UDV Chassis No: WDB1260342A524109 MOT: T.B.A • Very attractive colour of Seafoam Green Metallic with Tan leather interior • Recently provided with two new wings and a full repaint Rated by the vendor as ‘good’, ‘very good’ or ‘excellent’ in all aspects Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1979, the new W126 S-class was a quantifiable improvement over its W116 predecessor. Lauded by the contemporary motoring press as the 'best car in the world', it was not only lighter than its forebear but also offered an improved ride and sharper handling. Styled by Bruno Sacco, its sleek silhouette hid all round independent suspension, disc brakes, power assisted steering and a range of powerful all alloy V8 engines (later supplemented by more fuel efficient straight sixes). A staple part of numerous diplomatic fleets in period, the W126 remains sought after to this day thanks to its impeccable build quality and timeless lines. One of the more prestigious variants, the 420 SE Saloon was fitted with a fuel-injected 4196cc SOHC V8 engine that developed some 231bhp and 240lbft of torque. Admirably refined, the model was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.3 seconds and over 135mph. 1 of just 13,996 produced (making it the second rarest W126 standard wheelbase saloon variant after the 560 SE). Manufactured in 1990, the 420 SE offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 17th of January. Finished from the factory in the rare and appealing colour of Seafoam Green Metallic paintwork with a Tan leather interior upholstery, the SE was well-specified from new with paintwork protection, headlamp cleaning equipment, electric sliding sunroof, burred walnut trim, blinker lamps, air-conditioning, green tinted glass, heated rear window, and air-conditioning. ‘G306 UDV’ was subject to an insurance write-off to Category C in 2015 but has since been repaired. Acquired by the vendor in 2022, the 420 SE was thereafter provided with a cosmetic restoration including two new wings and a full repaint. Offered now having 133,000 miles on the odometer, the Mercedes-Benz has had seven former keepers. ‘G306 UDV’ is supplied with a history file that includes the original stamped service book that covers the early history of the Mercedes, when the SE covered a sizeable amount of its mileage, with nine services documented between 1990 and 2000, almost all by Mercedes-Benz main agents or specialists, and up to some 54,000 miles. Further accompanied by a collection of invoices for the parts purchased in current ownership, the vendor rates the Mercedes-Benz as having ‘good’ engine, gearbox, and electrical equipment ‘very good’ interior trim and bodywork, and ‘excellent’ paintwork.
