1914 Chater-Lea 10hp two seat tourerReg. no.  LN 6411Chassis no. 302Engine no. 11215The Chater Lea company was formed in 1890 by William Chater Lea, who had served his apprenticeship with leading bicycle manufacturers Linley and Biggs. Setting out to found his own company, Chater Lea’s products soon became well-regarded as being of the highest quality. In addition to whole bicycles, the company also sold all parts one could need to build a bicycle, and hence Chater Lea parts found their way into many one-off custom bicycles. This business continued to be a successful endeavour for the company well into the 1960s. As with many bicycle manufacturers, motorcycle production was an obvious step to take, and the first Chater Lea motorcycle was produced in 1903. The first car followed in 1907, an air-cooled V-twin cyclecar. As the company grew, it required a new factory, and in 1911, a fine new five-storey premises was opened in Banner Street, EC1, in the City of London. From a modern perspective, it seems amazing that there was car and motorcycle production right in the financial centre of London – how times have changed! In 1913, a more serious range of cars was launched in the form of the 8hp and 10hp. There were both light cars, but certainly more ‘car-like’ than the cyclecars that had preceded them, with water-cooled 4-cylinder engines, shaft drive and three-speed gearboxes. Car production ended in 1922, with only a few hundred cars made. Only a handful of cars are known to survive.This 1914 example is the 10hp model. As with their motorcycles, Chater Lea used proprietary engines for their cars, and this car uses the 10hp Singer engine. An excellent choice by Chater Lea, as the 10hp Singer was one of the most widely praised of the pre-Great War light cars, being commended for its willing performance. Indeed, the 10hp Singer was chosen in 1913 by Lionel Martin, of Aston Martin fame, for special tuning, and Martin’s example proved highly successful at Brooklands. This car, then, should prove a sprightly performer. Purchased by the vendor in around 1984, it was stripped back to the chassis in 1985 and restored. The engine was rebuilt with new pistons, with machining and re-metalling carried out by Morris of Lilbourne. The car was also repainted at this time, following a cosmetic restoration in the 70s. The car has, however, not been driven on the public road since the restoration, it is now mellowed and patinated, and will need some recommissioning. The engine is free but has not been run for many years. Sure to be a delightful Edwardian light car when up and running again, this extremely rare car comes with various bills, correspondence, magazine articles, a VCC dating certificate and VSCC eligibility form, plus a V5C.Estimate: £8,000 – 12,000

1971 Aston Martin DBS V8 Registration no. HPL 393KChassis no. DBSV810169ROdometer reading: N/AMOT Expiry: N/A*Aston Martin DBS V8*Sold for restoration*Current ownership since 1990Prior to the discontinuation of the iconic DB6 in 1971, Aston Martin were looking to replace the car with a much more modern and muscular looking vehicle. The result was the beautiful DBS V8 that included a completely new four headlight design and square off grille. At launch, the V8 featured significant mechanical improvements over its DB6 predecessor too, including a new V8 designed by Tadek Marek. The car offered tremendous levels of performance with 'excellent road manners, supreme stability and unmatched braking,' which was declared by Autocar. A mere 405 DBS V8s had been built before the model was superseded by the re-styled 'Aston Martin V8' in late 1972. Continuing Aston Martin's famed '007' connection, the DBS was driven by George Lazenby as James Bond in the 1969 film, 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'. First registered new in 1971, this example was inherited by the vendor from his father in 2003. The car has been in dry storage since 1992, and was recently discovered by Bonhams specialists. The DBS V8 is offered for complete restoration. There is various correspondence on file from the previous keeper of Northwood, Middlesex. This includes servicing and repairs carried out by Aston Martin Works throughout the late 1970s. Various old MOTs are also on file, including from 1976, 1977, 1991 and 1992 – when then car was last on the road. A rewarding and rare project opportunity.

1935 Bentley 3 ½ Litre Saloon project carCoachwork by Park WardRegistration no. CMF 433Chassis no. B163DKOdometer reading: N/AMOT Expiry: N/A*Bentley 3 ½ Litre Saloon project car*Extensive history file*Solid bodywork*Original interiorThe Bentley 3½-litre was the first new Bentley to be produced following the acquisition of the company by Rolls-Royce in 1931. The car gets its name from the 3½-litre straight-six that was co-developed for the Rolls-Royce 20/25. Only 1,177 3½-litres were built in total, with approximately half of the cars being coach built by Park Ward – as is this example. Supplied new via Aston Martin Works Feltham to John Meeson of Hertfordshire, this 1935 Bentley 3½-litre Saloon presents itself as a unique project opportunity. Purchased by the sadly now deceased vendor in 1969, the car has a plethora of history including bills for its continued maintenance and use throughout the 1970s, chassis copy cards, buff logbook, current V5C, and Bentley handbook. The history of the car is well documented however the ownership between Meeson and the vendor's family is unknown. The car also comes with various technical articles relating to Bentley. Taken off the road in 1996 following a piston seizure, the engine is now dismantled and comes with the car. The crank case, cylinder head, sump, carburettors and other ancillaries accompany the lot – the cylinder block is however absent. The body is structurally sound, with all the doors opening and closing well. The paintwork is older, brush applied, and in poor order. Non-standard sunroof fitted. Original brown leather interior trim in good, sound, un-ripped condition. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a historic Bentley project.Please click the link to view the walkaround video of this lot: click hereFootnotes:Vendor Score Total: 43/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1973 Aston Martin V8Registration no. 73 BUCChassis no. V811070RCAOdometer reading: N/AMOT Expiry: N/A*Barn find Aston Martin V8*Sold for restoration*Current ownership since 1984Prior to the discontinuation of the iconic DB6 in 1971, Aston Martin were looking to replace the car with a much more modern and muscular looking vehicle. Originally known as the DBS V8 at launch, the car was renamed to just 'V8' in 1973, with this car being one of the first to feature that nameplate. Visually, the V8 featured new styling including a twin headlight design over the previous four headlights, and a wire mesh grille. At launch, the V8 featured significant mechanical improvements over its DB6 predecessor too, including a new V8 designed by Tadek Marek, independent suspension, and a bigger, more luxurious interior. The V8 also performed incredibly well, with the fuel-injected twin cam engine reaching 100mph in just 15 seconds with the automatic transmission – figures that were unheard of at that time. This 1973 example was purchased in 1984 by its current owner and has been dry stored in a barn since the late 1980s. Discovered by Bonhams specialists this long term ownership V8 is offered for complete restoration. The car has 4 former keepers and was first registered new in November 1973. Offered with UK V5 registration, 73 BUC certainly represents a rare and unique opportunity.Please click the link to view the walkaround video of this lot: click hereFootnotes:Vendor Score Total: 20/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1951 Lagonda 2.6-Litre Drophead Coupé Registration no. 4114 BBChassis no. LAG/50/310Odometer reading: N/AMOT Expiry: Exempt*Beautiful older restored example*In current ownership since 1993*Previously restored The Lagonda 2.6 Drophead Coupé, also known as the DHC, was the first car to be produced by Lagonda after the company was purchased by David Brown – the then owner of Aston Martin. Produced between 1948 and 1951 in the form of a saloon, coupé and drophead, the Lagonda was known to be very well engineered at the time, and featured a 2.6-litre twin-overhead cam straight six engine, independent front and rear suspension, as well as a rack-and-pinion steering system. This example was registered on 2nd July 1951 and has been in its current ownership since 1993. The vendor purchased the car alongside a 2.6-litre saloon, whose engine was transferred into the Drophead for its restoration. The original engine number of the drophead and saloon donor car are included in the large history file. The restoration, which spanned from 2001 to 2006, was undertaken by Gavin Lumsden, a known restorer of post-war Rileys, and was a complete body-off procedure. The soft-top was also totally restored, and the interior of the car is completely original bar two new door panels. There are only a limited number of bills that have survived, however there is a good photographic record of the restoration. The car runs and drives very well, and has also recently received a new floor mounted gearbox conversion (replacing the column mounted system) supplied by Aston Services. Overall, the car is in very good condition and has been well cared for during its last 28 years of ownership.

V8/11252/RCA*Series 3 model with Weber carburettors*Automatic transmission*Rare electric sunroof optionTesting an Aston martin V8 Series 3 in November 1973, Autosport's John Bolster observed that even a short drive proved that the luxurious Aston was, above all, still a sports car: 'It has the sheer cornering power of light competition cars, with the responsive steering of the best vintage marques. In spite of its weight, it has acceleration which is outstanding among even among the world's most exotic speed models.'Its accompanying BMIHT Certificate states that this Aston Martin V8 was delivered new to Plough Motors & Co Ltd of Stonehouse. The car was delivered fitted with the following items of factory fitted equipment: automatic transmission; electric sunroof; lockable centre armrest; over-riders; side repeater flashers; side marker lights; large-capacity fuel tank; heavy-duty shock absorbers; AM/FM radio/cassette player; two headrests; and two door mirrors. When last registered in the UK the Aston belonged to Mr Dennis Clark of Wiltshire and before him to Patrick Gregory of Somerset (copy V5C on file).

The property of Richard Stewart Williams 'Old Min', the ex-Peter Sellers/Spike Milligan1930 Austin Heavy Twelve Open Road Tourer DeluxeRegistration no. GO 3252Chassis no. 68282*First acquired by Spike Milligan in the 1950s*Owned by Peter Sellers at the time of his death in 1980*Totally restored by RS Williams 2012-2015*Little used since restoration*Serviced for sale and fully operationalThis beautiful Austin Heavy Twelve Open Road Tourer has the unique distinction of having been owned by two members of the famous British comedy ensemble, The Goons: Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers. Affectionately known as 'Old Min', the Austin took its name from one of The Goon Show's many comic characters: elderly spinster Minnie Bannister. Acquired by Milligan in the 1950s, 'Old Min' was coveted by Sellers, a lifelong motoring enthusiast, from the moment he first saw it. Launched in late 1921, the Twelve owed its success to Austin's superior build quality and the soundness of the basic design. The engine was a five-bearing side-valve four displacing 1,661cc (1,861cc from 1927), delivering 40-45mph cruising and circa 26 miles per gallon. Enduringly popular, the model remains a favourite with Austin enthusiasts. While his growing international fame and wealth enabled Sellers to indulge his taste in fine thoroughbred automobiles (he would own various Rolls-Royces, Aston Martins and Ferraris), he never forgot 'Old Min', and when Milligan lost his licence he became its owner in 1968. By this time Sellers had met the world-renowned Aston Martin specialist Richard Williams, who took on the role of the actor's 'fleet manager'. Having enjoyed the Austin for 11 years, Sellers gave 'Old Min' back to Milligan only to retrieve the car almost immediately as he felt his friend was failing to care for it properly. The car's history following Sellers' death in 1980 is not clear, but Richard Williams later became acquainted with one of the subsequent owners and was able to purchase 'Old Min' in March 2010. In 2012 Richard commenced a total restoration to Sellers' famously exacting standards, a long and painstaking process that would take the next three years to complete. The original hood was retained; the upholstery sympathetically refurbished; and the engine rebuilt by Vintage-era Austin specialist, Bob James. Richard spent over £45,000 on the restoration, and his detailed summary of the costs may be found in the extensive history file together with old photographs, various invoices, magazine articles, and an original handbook inscribed 'Property of Spike Milligan – please return'. Used sparingly since the restoration, 'Old Min' is in fully operational condition and will have been fully serviced immediately prior to sale.Shortly after the rebuild's completion, 'Old Min' was road-tested by Andrew Roberts for an article in Classic & Sports Car magazine (March 2016 edition, copy on file) in which he succinctly sums up its unique charm. 'This test possibly means more to me than almost any other I've done for C&SC,' he declared. 'In my day job as a film historian, I genuinely regard Peter Sellers, at the height of his powers, to have been the finest actor in post-war British cinema, and so the experience of riding in Old Min was on a par with another motoring scribe driving the former property of Graham Hill or Jim Clark.' One can only envy the Austin's fortunate next owner.

DB6/3372/R*Converted from automatic to five-speed manual transmission in the 1980s*Mk2 Vantage engine blockAccording to the accompanying copy guarantee form, '3372/R' was delivered new equipped with automatic transmission; power assisted steering; chrome road wheels; heated rear screen; power operated aerial; three-ear hubcaps; and front safety belts. The car was finished in Dubonnet Rosso with tan leather interior and was first owned by Mr P A Bass of Leicestershire. It is understood that the conversion from automatic transmission to the current five-speed manual gearbox was carried out by Chevron specialist Vin Malkie, whose Manchester garage maintained the car from 1981 to 1989. The engine block, a later Mk2 Vantage component, dates from this period. The suspension was rebuilt around 21 years ago and the bodywork repainted in Silver Birch by Eaton Square Garage circa 20 years ago. The seat leather is original and un-restored. The previous owner acquired the Aston in 2006, carrying out light restoration and only driving the car on day trips during summer months. When the DB6 was sold to the current owner at Bonhams' Aston Martin Works auction in 2012 (Lot 233), it was stated that the most recent maintenance had included renewing the rear springs; fitting an aluminium radiator and new fan cowling; Zircoating the exhaust manifolds; and replacing both front sections of the exhaust with stainless pipes and flexible connections. Having been stored for the intervening period, the car may require some re-commissioning prior to road use. Exported post-sale, the car is subject to the low import duty rate of 5% and will require re-registering if it is to remain in the UK.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * N* Subject to import tax at a preferential rate on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.N If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, whilst the responsibility of submitting the NOVA rests with the Buyer to do so, Bonhams will facilitate the process by engaging an agent (CARS) to undertake the NOVA on the Buyer's behalf.

 Striking, UK-supplied, automatic Series 3 AM V8 on offer at No Reserve. Early Series 3, automatic, UK-supplied in right-hand drive by Lazenby Garages Ltd. Chassis number V8/11038/RCA was completed on 5th October 1973 confirmed by its Heritage Certificate Introduced in August, 1973 the Series 3 cars featured four twin-choke Weber carbs and a deep bonnet air scoop The early Weber-fuelled, cars produced 310bhp offering 0-60 in 6.1 secs (auto) and 150mph Photo-documented, ground-up restoration started in 2016 at a cost of around £50,000 and only a few miles since Now resplendent in a classic shade of Mendip Blue with a fabulous Cream and French Navy Blue leather interior A lovely example of the big, post-David Brown, V8s offered at No Reserve   The six cylinder William Towns styled DBS had been around for a couple of years anxiously awaiting the V8 engine that had been especially designed for it. In early 1970, the DBS V8 was finally ready to become one of the fastest cars available at the time. The 5.3 litre Tadek Marek-designed engine was able to develop around 320bhp, which gave the ability to reach 160mph; all this with space for four people. Demand for the car was great with production reaching 402 examples within just two years. From April 1972, the DBS V8 received a mild restyle and a new name. The 'DB' was dropped as David Brown had sold the company and the car became known simply as the 'Aston Martin V8'. The most visible change was the adoption of two 7" quartz iodine headlamps and black mesh grill, the design of which was the work of the original designer, William Towns. This Aston Martin V8 according to its accompanying Heritage Certificate was first registered on the 10th October 1973 and finished in Cosmic Fire Cambridge Blue with Burgundy leather. Now offered in todays modern yet classic Mendip Blue with Cream leather and French Navy Blue piping upholstery, this example is in fabulous condition and has been with six owners from new. Purchased in April of 2016, as a stalled restoration, the late current vendor decided to commence upon a full nut and bolt recommission spanning four years. With parts supplied by Aston Engineering and work completed by Aston Martin specialists and the engine by Chase Engines, resulting in a final bill of circa £50,000. Having been restored over the past years, with a hugely thorough and well documented and photographed history file including its Heritage Certificate, this car is an eminently usable classic, however, we feel that it's better considered as an ongoing project. Growing rapidly in popularity with collectors and enthusiasts alike, the restoration of these V8s from the 70s now makes sound economic sense for those looking at a long-term investment. ONR 4M is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original Instruction Book (complete with service vouchers) and sundry paperwork.      SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: V8Year: 1973Chassis Number: 811038RCARegistration Number: ONR 4MTransmission: AutoEngine Number: V5401038 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 86000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: LeatherClick here for more details and images

Delivered new to Monaco and offered directly from single family ownership with just 19,100 miles.Manufactured in left-hand drive for Jaguar France SA on 14/03/1989 in Signal Red with a Magnolia interiorBelieved to have been bought by our vendor’s late father-in-law from the Jaguar stand at the Paris Motor ShowDelivered by British Motors of Monte Carlo, Monaco in April 1989 to the family home where it stayed until 2016The detailed history shows historical invoices from British Motors and Welwyn JaguarUpon registration in the UK the KPH odometer unit was changed by Grange Welwyn Jaguar to MPH with corresponding mileage19,500 miles (atoc) indicated, corroborated by the history file and accompanying KPH unitPresented to auction in superb condition befitting from a lifetime in the South of France and an MOT until 21st April 2022Conceived as a stylish, comfortable and long-legged Grand Routier, rather than an out-and-out sports car like the preceding E-Type, the XJ-S made use of the Jaguar XJ6/XJ12 saloon platform and running gear. Shorter in the wheelbase than its saloon siblings, it debuted as a V12-powered Coupe, with six-cylinder and soft-top versions following in the 1980s. It had a lot to live up to and comparisons to its iconic predecessor are dismissed, with hindsight, as unfair whilst Jaguar were sensibly long-sighted with their launch and ambitions for the model. Nippy, impractical British sports cars were difficult to sell during the 1980s as the market segmented. Aston Martin’s V8 Coupé catered for the very wealthy and Lotus’ futuristic Esprit was the car of choice for those who were image concious. The XJS, however, was the perfect car for the successful gentleman of a certain age wanting a stylish, comfortable sports coupe that cut a dash, moreover it was particularly popular with women. By the time production had ceased in 1996, 115,413 coupes, cabriolets and convertibles had found homes.We are told by our vendor, the daughter-in-law of Mr Miller, the car’s first owner, that this XJS was ordered on the Jaguar stand at the 1989 Paris Motor Show. Resplendent in Signal Red with a Magnolia leather interior, the car was delivered by British Motors of Monte Carlo, who were not just the concessionaires for Jaguar but also Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Aston Martin. Registered ‘7279 MC’ as an official Monaco resident's car, a privilege afforded only to the very wealthy, it was lightly used by Mr Miller, hardly ever in the rare event of rain, and maintained by British Motors’ service department as documented by the historical invoices on file. When the car left Monaco for repatriation to the United Kingdom in 2016, the odometer showed a mere 29,786 kilometres had been covered, as confirmed by the original odometer-unit supplied with the car.When our vendor and her husband moved back to this country permanently, the Jaguar was registered with the DVLA on 22nd June 2016. The odometer unit was changed by Jaguar main dealers Grange Welwyn to a mileometer unit and the digits updated to match the original kilometres in equivalent miles of 18,508, prior to an MOT the next day at 18,510 miles. Subsequently, the online MOT history shows incremental increases over the years corroborated by Grange Welwyn’s service receipts and, indeed, the car has only travelled some 582 miles since 2016. Whilst in the UK, the car has been maintained, and MOT’d annually, for largely sentimental reasons and as it’s unlikely to be used much by the family, as a left-hand drive car on British roads, it’s now regretfully offered for sale.At the time of cataloguing, the indicated mileage is 19,100 and the car is presented to auction in superb overall condition having obviously benefited from its time in Monaco. The scuttles are in very good order, however, we note that there are dings to each of the rear bumper chrome quarter blades but the buyer should be able to find replacements with relative ease. There is evidence of wear to the driver’s side seat bolster, common with all XJS and indicative of short journeys, Monaco has only thirty miles of urban roads after all.In conclusion, it is rare to offer a low mileage, Monaco-delivered Jaguar from single British family ownership, benefiting from little use in a largely dry climate. The history file includes reams of historical and more recent invoices from Jaguar main dealers, a spare key, the Heritage Certificate, the owner’s manual and the current MOT which is valid until 22nd April 2022.Unlike most of its contemporaries, this venerable XJS has spent twenty-seven years being much admired in Monte Carlo amidst acres of brightly coloured exotica and being offered valet-parking outside the Café de Paris, a rare honour, simply because the Monésgasque appreciate classic British style.Smart examples of Jaguar’s big coupé, in all its iterations, are becoming increasingly sought-after, and this low-mileage, Signal Red car with a detailed history and lovely provenance is worth a closer look.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: XJS COUPÉYear: 1989Chassis Number: SAJJNAEW4BB160907Registration Number: G357 PWXTransmission: AutomaticDrive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 19100 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: MagnoliaClick here for more details and images

A fine example of the most elegant supercar of the modern era with full Aston Martin service history.Supplied by Stratstone Aston Martin, Western Avenue, London on the 03/07/2008One of the finest car designs of the modern era with echoes in each new model launchThe 5.9-litre V12 propels the luxuriously appointed DB9 to 100mph in 10 secondsThe full Aston Martin main dealer service history shows the diligence of previous ownersWith an odometer reading of 32,800 miles (atoc) warranted by the detailed history filePresented to auction with an MOT until 06/12/ 2021 and the aforementioned book pack.Launched at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show, the exceptional Aston Martin DB9 promised to be one of the most sought after 'Supercars' of the decade. Henrik Fisker's flowing design retained all the good looks of its predecessor, the highly acclaimed DB7. Weight was kept low by the use of aluminium and composites for the bodywork, whilst power from the 5.9-litre V12 was a healthy 450bhp, providing the Aston with acceleration to 100mph from a standstill in only 10 seconds, and on to a near 190mph maximum speed. Weight distribution was a perfect 50:50 thanks to the front / mid-engine layout with a rear-mounted sequential transmission.Most DB9s were delivered with a six-speed ZF automatic gearbox featuring paddle-operated semi-automatic mode, perfect for pootling around town or continental touring. The DB9 was aimed at, like all proceeding Astons, a certain type of owner; an enthusiast who appreciated the speed and soundtrack but also the refinement and discretion. At nearly twenty years old the DB9 has aged phenomenally well, indeed the silhouette is near identical to the current models offered by Aston today. Residual values have plateaued for good examples in recent years and although buying a used supercar is a decision not to be taken lightly, buyers can be reassured by an impeccable main dealer service history.Supplied by Stratstone Aston Martin on Western Avenue, London on the 3rd July 2008, the car was to return there for subsequent services in its early life before being looked after later by main dealers at the following intervals: 10/06/2008 Aston Martin Western Avenue, London at 731 miles14/05/2009 Aston Martin Western Avenue, London at 4,453 miles06/05/2010 Aston Martin Western Avenue, London at 6,130 miles01/07/2011 Aston Martin Western Avenue, London at 8,115 miles04/07/2012 Aston Martin Western Avenue, London at 12,880 miles04/07/2013 Aston Martin Western Avenue, London at 16,701 miles27/10/2014 Aston Martin Welwyn (Now Grange) at 20,240 miles13/06/2016 Aston Martin Welwyn (Now Grange) at 25,148 miles13/06/2017 Aston Martin Welwyn (Now Grange) at 27,802 miles21/05/2018 Aston Martin Birmingham at 29,132 miles12/06/2019 Aston Martin Wilmslow, Cheshire at 30,477 miles16/04/2021 Aston Martin Birmingham at 32,731 milesOffered to auction in a very agreeable condition, the black leather interior shows gentle wear and presents far better than similar mileage models we have seen with lighter coloured interiors. The well-stamped service book displays the diligence of its four former keepers. The car is ready for summer jaunts having just been serviced sixty-nine miles ago in April and the MOT is valid until December 2021. We welcome any inspection of this motorcar and we believe the service history is amongst the best of any comparable car on the market today.SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB9Year: 2008Chassis Number: SCFAC01A48GA10461 Registration Number: LJ08EYZTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: AM04121742Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 32810 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

Looking fabulous in Capri Blue, this sparkling DB6 benefits from an upgraded 4-speed auto box and a comprehensive history file.Dating from 1966, DB6/2563/R was delivered new to H.W motors Ltd. for its first owner, J.F.P TateFinished from new in Capri Blue with Dark Blue Connolly hide and dark blue carpetsThe accompanying Aston Martin Heritage Trust Certificate confirms the car was right-hand drive and fitted with a Borg-Warner, 4-speed automatic gearboxFurther optioned with Chrome Wire Wheels, 3-eared spinners, Fiamm horns and Avon TurbospeedsThe automatic four-speed gear box has received the 'Chapman' upgrade offering seamless gear changesFull and interesting ownership history. With our private vendor for the last seven yearsFull matching numbers, factory spec and in a fabulous colour. A lovely example The culmination of Aston Martin's long-running line of DB six-cylinder sports saloons, and thus considered by many to be the last 'real' Aston, the DB6 was introduced in 1965, updating the DB5. Although recognisably related to the Touring-styled DB4 of 1958, the DB6 abandoned the Carrozzeria Touring-developed 'Superleggera' body structure of its predecessors in favour of conventional steel fabrication whilst retaining the aluminium outer panels.Increased rear-seat space was the prime DB6 objective so the wheelbase was now four inches longer than before, resulting in an extensive restyle with a more-raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. Opening front quarter-lights made a reappearance but the major change was at the rear where a 'Kamm tail' with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. These many dimensional changes were integrated most successfully, as the DB6's overall length increased by only two inches. The Tadek Marek-designed six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5 and remained unchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification, complete with triple Webers. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox, and for the first time, there was optional power-assisted steering. High profile owners in the early days included HRH Prince Charles, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Twiggy and Peter Sellers.DB6/2563/R was delivered new to H.W motors Ltd for J.F.P Tate, Esq. finished in Capri Blue with Dark Blue Connolly hide (VM 3282) and dark blue carpets. Although subsequently resprayed, the Aston is still presented today in the same Capri Blue with its very nicely aged original interior. The Aston Martin Heritage Trust Certificate confirms the specification being right-hand drive and fitted with a Borg-Warner, 4-speed automatic gearbox plus non-standard equipment including chrome roadwheels, heated rear window, three-eared hub spinners, Fiamm horns, a powered aerial and Avon Turbospeed tyres. The car was in daily use early on in its life and regularly serviced and maintained including a cylinder head overhaul and front suspension rebuild in 1967. It is still matching numbers, today, unlike many DB6s.The car's second owner was a Mr Pitkethly in 1984 who sold it, in 1992, to a Mr Hine who, in turn, later sold the DB6 to Le Riche 'Automobile Restorers' of Jersey in 2002. A little later, Le Riche were persuaded to part with the Aston by a Mr Hoy of Jersey (Reg. J 6929) who kept the vehicle until its export out of Jersey in December 2009.The next change of ownership was to Aston Martin Works Ltd. in April 2014, who sold it to the owner prior to our vendor. He appears to have cherished the car judging by its lovely overall condition today, and covered less than 600 miles in nearly 4 years.This car retains much of its originality, character and is still on its original number plate. It's matching numbers throughout and presented in the original colour of Capri Blue, a rare hue for a DB6 but one that really suits it making the big GT look slimmer and lighter somehow and will, without a doubt, turn heads as it continues to age gracefully. It is also noted that the automatic four-speed gear box has received the 'Chapman' upgrade, and this is very clear when you experience the smoothness of the shifts.OPC 308D is supplied with a fascinating history file direct from the current private owner who has had it for the last seven years, covering very few journeys but all of them memorable we are assured!The history file includes a Heritage Trust Certificate confirming both the original factory specification and matching numbers status.SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB6Year: 1966Chassis Number: DB62563RRegistration Number: OPC3 08DTransmission: Auto 4 SpeedEngine Number: 400-2461 Make: Interior Colour: Blue LeatherClick here for more details and images

Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox, and for the first time, there was optional power-assisted steering.DB6/3566/R was supplied new on 22nd August 1969 by Sundridge Park Motors in Bromley, finished in factory Pacific Blue with a Natural Connolly hide interior. Initially registered as CN19, the first owner also specified a number of additional factory-fitted options including PAS, heated rear screen, front seat belts and chrome wire wheels. Records held within the history file indicate the first owner retained the car for some 8 years and it has subsequently passed through the hands of a further 6 owners until our vendor acquired the car October 2015.Whilst being delighted with his acquisition it was our vendors intention to improve the cars driveability by replacing the auto gearbox and commissioning a professional conversion to a Tremec 5-speed manual, with all the additional works including a new carpet set associated with such a conversion. Whilst in the custody of the engineers, it was noted that the engine was not performing correctly and suffering oil pressure issues. With the ambition to own a reliable and driveable DB6 our vendor commissioned a complete engine rebuild and upgraded to 4.2-litres. Such works were entrusted to Aston Martin specialists Warren Heath who duly completed a comprehensive £18,000 build including a dyno-test prior to installation. Details of the build are contained within the history file. MOT records verify, in addition to benefitting from an MOT valid until February 2022, the car has been used sparingly since the engine and gearbox work having covered only 700 miles. This is clearly one for the true DB6 driving enthusiast having benefitted from significant expenditure during our vendors ownership with desirable upgrades and maintenance.Details of the car’s life and work carried out over the years are contained in the interesting owner’s file, including factory build sheets, previous owner history, and an Owner's Handbook. We thoroughly recommend interested parties take the opportunity to inspect both the car and the history file first hand.SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB6 MANUALYear: 1969Chassis Number: DB6 3566RRegistration Number: WYU 209HTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Natural ConnolyClick here for more details and images

This beautiful DB6 Volante has been fitted with a manual gearbox and upgraded to ‘Vantage spec’. A real driver’s car. An original right-hand drive, UK-supplied Mk1, originally delivered in Sierra Blue with a grey interior Later sold to both French and Swiss based owners with various invoices and some correspondence in the history file At some point it was upgraded to Vantage specification and fitted with a manual gearbox Will need fully re-commissioning after a long period of storage in a large collection Presented on a NOVA with UK taxes paid Considered by many to be the last 'real' Aston Martin, the DB6 was launched in 1965 replacing the outgoing DB5. The wheelbase was now 4" (100mm) longer than before, resulting in an extensive restyle with a more raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. Opening front quarter-lights made a reappearance, but the major change was at the rear where a ‘Kamm’ tail with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. "The tail lip halves the aerodynamic lift around maximum speed and brings in its train greater headroom and more luggage space", declared Motor magazine, concluding that the DB6 was one of the finest sports cars it had tested. Tadek Marek’s proven six cylinder engine, which had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5, remained unchanged offering 282bhp on triple SU carburettors rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification. Premiered at the 1965 London Motor Show, the DB6 Volante marked the first occasion the evocative 'Volante' name had been applied to a soft-top Aston Martin. After 37 Volante convertibles had been completed on the DB5 short-wheelbase chassis, the model adopted the longer DB6 chassis in October 1966. A mere 140 DB6 based Volantes were manufactured, and of these only 29 were specified with the more powerful Vantage engine.  According to a copy of the original build sheet, this right-hand drive, Mk1 DB6 Volante was delivered to its first owner, a Dr Frank Sondheimer of Kensington Palace Gardens, London on the 11th February 1967. DBVC/3611/R had been ordered in Sierra Blue with grey interior and a matching convertible roof and specified from new with Borg-Warner automatic transmission, 3.54:1 limited-slip differential, chrome wire wheels, a power-operated aerial, 7 pints of antifreeze and power-assisted steering. From the Aston’s history file, it appears that its first owner retained the car until May 1980 when he sold it to a gentleman based in Lyon, France. The third owner was also French but it seems he moved to Switzerland at some point during his ownership of the DB6. The fourth owner was also based in Switzerland, having purchased the car on the 14th January 2002. There is a further invoice from 2006 from a ‘Sammy Garage’, a restoration company based in Geneva, prior to the car being exported from Switzerland. There are various invoices in the file from the cars time in France and Switzerland along with a ‘Livret D’entretien et D’utilisation’ booklet for DB5/6 Volantes. The DB6 is presented to auction on a NOVA with UK taxes paid and as #3611/R has spent the past 10 years or so in a large private collection of carefully selected Aston Martins, it will therefore need fully recommissioning before returning to the road. The very pinnacle of British open-top motoring in the 1960s, this beautiful DB6 Volante has, at some point, been fitted with a manual gearbox and upgraded to ‘Vantage spec’ ensuring that, once returned to the roads, this will be a real driver’s car to use and enjoy.  SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB6Year: TBCChassis Number: DBVC361112Registration Number: TO BE REGISTEREDMake: Interior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

UK-supplied, right-hand drive, automatic V12 DB7 Vantage Volante with just 43,500 miles from new. Classically finished in a combination of Pentland Green paintwork with Olive and Fawn hide and a dark green mohair hood Comprehensive service history with £17,500 spent in 2016 with marque specialist, R.S. Williams Most recent service performed by an Aston Martin specialist with new battery fitted – 08/07/2020 Supplied with both keys, service book and owner's wallet, UK V5c and a file containing a wealth of related invoices At the Geneva Motor Show in 1999, Aston Martin introduced the long-awaited Vantage version of their successful DB7. Sporting a Cosworth-designed, 5.9-litre V12 producing a creamy 420bhp, the car was super-quick and was electronically limited to 185mph. The V12 had a serious appetite for air compared to its 6-cylinder predecessor, demanding a larger intake and other modifications to the frontal airflow were made to aid cooling. Other changes included chassis and braking upgrades, to cope with the increased performance and Ian Callum enlarged the grille, added fog lamps and re-styled the valances to give the car a more purposeful look. The Vantage interior leather trim was cut and sewn at a special trim shop at Newport Pagnell, where the carpet and wood veneers were also prepared. The 5.9-litre V12 Vantage Volante, costing over £100,000 at its launch, remained in production until 2004. Offered here is a DB7 5.9-litre V12 Vantage Volante automatic, supplied new to its first owner on the 11th September 1999 by Grange Aston Martin. This attractive example is finished in a classic combination of Pentland Green Metallic with an Olive Fawn leather interior and a dark green mohair hood. The original service book is stamped over 18 times, predominantly by the supplying dealer, but also by marque specialists. A whole host of work was completed in 2016 by leading Aston Martin authority R.S. Williams which included: four new tyres, fresh fluid and filters, new F.E.A.D belt, new front brake discs, new catalytic converter and sports exhaust fitted, ignition coil, removing and renewing fuel lines, new ABS sensor, re-fitting of the passenger airbag and a new mohair hood. The invoice for this work totalled a substantial £17,255. In July of this year, the car received its annual service at a marque specialist, by which time it had covered around 43,000 miles. Supplied with a UK V5c, desirable ‘V12’ cherished registration, MOT until 5th August 2021, both sets of keys, and its original handbooks and service book, this incredibly well-maintained DB7 Vantage Volante is in fine order. It has covered very few miles since its service, and DB7s of this calibre rarely come to market. With the prices of its DB predecessors continuing to rise, this well-cared for DB7 surely ticks all the boxes for any serious car collector or marque enthusiast. DB4, 5, 6, and soon the DB7 Vantage.

This gleaming, Tungsten Silver DB9 has covered just 8,600 miles in the care of its two owners. Finished in Tungsten Silver with 'Iron Ore Red' leather and Mahogany veneers Supplied by Lancaster Sevenoaks on the 06/04/2005 to a Mrs C Benn Just two owners from new and only 8,600 miles on the odometer Supplied with its original Manual and Service Book displaying nine main dealer stamps Last serviced by Aston Martin Edinburgh on the 25th of March 2020 at a cost of £2,100 The sleek, ‘super-formed’ aluminium body of the DB9 was initially designed by Ian Callum but, inevitably, was influenced by his successor, the next director of AM design, Hendrik Fisker. The new model was powered by a third-generation version of the now familiar 5.9-litre V12 which, in the DB9, generated around 470bhp enabling 0-60 in 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 190mph. The ‘9’ was the first of what was to become a long line of production Aston Martins to use VH (vertical/horizontal) architecture using super-formed parts in the chassis and foot well as well as the body panels. The individual die-cast, extruded or stamped aluminium elements of the VH platform are bonded with strong adhesives and self-piercing rivets to make a lightweight but stiff backbone. The body shell weighed 25% less than that of the DB7 but has double its torsional rigidity. This process also allowed Aston Martin to retain high levels of engineering accuracy in producing a car at a higher volume, ensuring chassis performance was up to the ever-increasing levels of engine power. Aston Martins have always made the interior of their cars very special places and their attention to detail is everywhere within the cabin, however, it’s probably typified by the attractive starter button which is made of toughened glass and sand etched with the Aston Martin 'wings' logo. This beautiful example has been enjoyed by just two owners from new and led a very sheltered life having covered just 8,600 miles since April 2005. Superbly presented in Tungsten Silver over Iron Ore Red leather, it has been maintained regardless of cost, despite the meagre mileage, judging by the nine stamps in the service records, initially by Lancaster Sevenoaks, two from Harwoods of Sussex, and then one by Edinburgh. The last service was carried out by Aston Martin Edinburgh and, although fully invoiced, the Service Book was not stamped, however, this is easily remedied we imagine. The car has just had a fresh MOT in readiness for the sale and comes with the number plate P100 DRJ. Examples such as this rarely come to market and with two keepers and just 8600 miles this is one special motor car and will no doubt grace any collection or simply use and enjoy.          SpecificationMake: ASTON MARTINModel: DB9Year: 2005Chassis Number: SCFAC01A75GA02415Registration Number: P100 DRJTransmission: AutoEngine Number: AM04/10736Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 8600 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

1970 Aston Martin DB6 Mk2 Sports SaloonRegistration no. not UK registeredChassis no. DB6/4188/R*One of only 240 made*Last-of-the-line model*Long-term family ownership up to circa 2008Footnotes:In 1958 Aston Martin introduced its DB4 model, the first of a line of models (and series within) that culminating with the DB6 MK2 in 1970. Engine capacity remained the same as the DB5 at 4.0-litres and power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed manual gearbox. In the summer of 1969 the Mark 2 DB6 was announced in saloon and convertible (volante) versions. Distinguishable by its flared wheelarches and DBS wheels, the DB6 Mark 2 came with power-assisted steering as standard and could be ordered with AE Brico electronic fuel injection. When DB6 production ceased in 1970, a total of 1,575 saloons had been made (240 to Mk2 specification) plus 178 of the Volante convertibles. As such, the DB6 Mk2 is one of the rarer and more desirable models and naturally sought after. This particular example was manufactured with automatic transmission and left the factory finished in Silver Birch with black leather interior. '4188/R' appears to have belonged to one family from new until circa 2008, the last UK V5C document (copy available) recording one Matthew L Prater as owner from 1997 and Leslie M Prater as the owner from 1970. The AMOC Register records that in 2005, while belonging to the Praters, this DB6 took part in the St George's Day Parade at Windsor Castle in front of H M, The Queen. The vendor purchased the Aston from Runnymede Motor Company in June 2009 (copy purchase receipt on file). Having been stored for the intervening period, the car may require some re-commissioning prior to road use.

1960 Aston Martin DB4 'Series II' Sports SaloonRegistration no. not UK registeredChassis no. DB4/266/L*Landmark Aston Martin model*Rare and original left-hand drive example*Delivered new to Switzerland*Conservatively estimated and offered at No Reserve Footnotes:'When the products which are raced bear such a close resemblance to those which can be bought by the public, as do those of Aston Martin, only the most biased can deny the value of racing in improving the breed. It should be no surprise (that the DB4) should be based on an engine which first appeared in experimental form in some of last year's races.' - The Autocar, 3rd October 1958.At its launch in October 1958, the DB4 marked a major turning point for Aston Martin as it was the first car of the David Brown era which neither used a chassis derived from the experimental Atom of 1939 nor an engine designed under the auspices of W O Bentley. Moreover, it was the first Aston Martin to carry Carrozzeria Touring's 'Superleggera' bodywork, in which light alloy panels were fixed to a framework of light-gauge steel tubes welded to a platform chassis. Although styled by Touring, the DB4's gorgeous fastback coachwork was built under license at Newport Pagnell by Aston Martin's Tickford subsidiary, which employed some of the finest panel beaters in the industry. The result was a car whose sleek lines were described as 'unmistakably Italian and yet... equally unmistakably Aston Martin.' The 3.7-litre, six-cylinder power unit was the work of Tadek Marek and had first been seen at Le Mans the previous year in the works DBR2 sports-racer.Manufactured between October 1958 and June 1963, the DB4 developed through no fewer than five series. The first series had already undergone a number of improvements, including the fitting of heavy-duty bumpers after the first 50 cars, before the second series arrived in January 1960. A front-hinged bonnet, bigger brake callipers and an enlarged sump were the major changes made on the Series II. To many, the Series II is the zenith of the aesthetic design, retaining the large and purposeful bonnet scoop and the delicate cathedral tail-lights. Including Vantage and convertible models, approximately 1,100 of these iconic 'Gentleman's Express' sports saloons were produced between 1958 and 1963. According to the copy guarantee form on file, left-hand drive chassis number '266/L' was sold new via Patthey, the Swiss Aston Martin agent, to Mr Robert Firmenich of Geneva. The car was supplied with fully chromed road wheels and a heated rear light (screen) and left the factory finished in Desert White with black Connolly leather interior. Other documentation consists of copies of previous Swiss and German registration documents and the copy invoice relating to its sale between E Thiesen to Axel Schütte Klassische Automobile in March 2008. With Weber carburetors, drilled pedals, no bumpers and tow-eyelets, it would appear 266/L enjoyed an element of competitive use with a former owner. Subsequently exported from the EU and kept in storage, it may require some re-commissioning prior to road use. Please also note the car will attract the low import duty rate of 5% if it is to remain in the UK.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * N* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.N If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, whilst the responsibility of submitting the NOVA rests with the Buyer to do so, Bonhams will facilitate the process by engaging an agent (CARS) to undertake the NOVA on the Buyer's behalf.

1967 Aston Martin DB6 Sports SaloonRegistration no. LTO 828E (see text)Chassis no. DB6/3093/R*Previously in the long-term ownership of an AMOC member*Extensively refurbished by Alan Smith Motors (2008-2009)*Fitted with a rebuilt ZF five-speed manual gearbox (originally automatic)*Harvey Bailey handling kitFootnotes:'Stage by stage, as the DB has become dominant in the Aston Martin strain, the successive cars have changed their image. Today the aim is to offer the maximum of luxury and refinement as well as the ultimate in road performance. The minor barbarities of so many great sports cars of the past are no longer acceptable – at least in the hand-built models now leaving Newport Pagnell. Obviously such a car as the DB6 is expensive and exclusive but the value matches the price.' – Autocar, 1966. The DB6 was introduced in 1965, replacing the DB5 and effectively brought an end to the lineage that could trace its heritage to the DB4. Increased rear-seat space was the prime DB6 objective so the wheelbase was now a little longer than, resulting in an extensive re-style with more-raked windscreen, raised roofline, and reshaped rear quarter windows. The major change was at the rear where a Kamm-style tail with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. These many dimensional changes were integrated most successfully, the DB6's overall length increasing by only 2'. Indeed, but for the distinctive Kamm tail one might easily mistake it for a DB5. The Tadek Marek-designed six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5 and remained unchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp and Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox.The accompanying (copy) guarantee form shows that '3093/R' was delivered new to a Mr Kearsley of Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. The car left the Newport Pagnell factory equipped with Borg Warner automatic transmission; chrome road wheels; heated rear screen; three-ear hubcaps; safety belts; and a power operated aerial. Subsequently the DB6 was owned for many years by AMOC member John Fritchley of Nottinghamshire (erroneously recorded as first owner on the last UK V5C document, copy on file). Mr Fritchley sold the Aston in 2008 and subsequently acquired by Jonathan Nebbitt of London, who commissioned respected specialists Alan Smith Motors of New Romney to carry out a comprehensive refurbishment. Completed in 2009, the works included extensive body repairs; wax-injection of chassis/body cavities; rust-proofing and under-sealing the chassis; fitting a Harvey Bailey handling kit; and replacing the automatic transmission with a BPA-rebuilt ZF five-speed manual gearbox. A detailed description of the works is on file (as is the copy V5C) and it is understood that some £28,000 was spent on the restoration. In 2012 the DB6 was acquired by the owner, exported and laid up in secure storage. As a result, it may require some re-commissioning prior to being used on the road. If it is to remain in the UK it attracts the low import duty rate of 5% and will require re-registering.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * N* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.N If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, whilst the responsibility of submitting the NOVA rests with the Buyer to do so, Bonhams will facilitate the process by engaging an agent (CARS) to undertake the NOVA on the Buyer's behalf.

1981 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Sports SaloonRegistration no. BAH 307X (see text)Chassis no. V8VOL12323*Original left-hand drive Vantage model*Built for the Saudi Arabian market*Present ownership since 2010Footnotes:'People who buy the Vantage will do so in the first place for its performance, and they will not be disappointed. The figures speak for themselves. But they should take extra heart because it is one of the easiest true high performance cars to drive well: and it has been given brakes to match. In comfort too, it has much to offer, and there is a great deal of what is best in the British tradition of designing and building sports cars in its making.' - Autocar. The performance figures Autocar referred to were a 0-60mph time of 5.4 seconds and an estimated top speed of 170mph, figures comparable with those achievable by a Ferrari Daytona or Lamborghini Miura. With the introduction of the Vantage in 1977, Aston Martin's V8 was thrust back into the supercar league. The name had previously been applied to high-power versions of the DB six-cylinder cars, and in the V8's case the Vantage tune delivered around 375bhp. Its superior performance aside, the Vantage was readily distinguishable from the standard product by virtue of its blocked-off bonnet scoop, blanked air intake, front chin spoiler and lip on the boot lid. ZF five-speed manual transmission was standard equipment, though a handful of Vantages were built with the Torqueflite automatic gearbox. With either transmission performance was shattering, the Vantage's 0-100mph time of 12.7 seconds making it the world's fastest accelerating production car at that time. Its copy Car Record Card reveals that left-hand drive chassis number '12323' was built as a Vantage model to Middle Eastern export specification for the Saudi Arabian market and originally finished in Burnham Green with green-piped fawn leather interior. The car was first registered in the UK in August 1998 and comes with a copy V5 document (although it will require re-registering). It was subsequently exported to the USA and the current owner purchased the Vantage from well-respected marque specialists Autosport Designs Inc of New York, in 2010 (copy bill of sale on file). Having been stored for the intervening period, the car may require some re-commissioning prior to road use.

1986 Aston Martin V8 VolanteRegistration no. not UK registeredChassis no. SCFCV81COGTL/15462*One of only 849 V8 Volantes built*The ultimate in soft-top luxury in its day*Delivered new to the USA*Present ownership since 2011Footnotes:'It's not by any means the world's most expensive drophead in production (the Corniche costs an extra £23,000) nor is it quite the quickest, though a Porsche Cabrio would have to be very well driven to get away from it, but the Aston Martin Volante is perhaps the greatest. It is a true sports car which is also luxuriously comfortable.' - Fast Lane. Described by former Aston Martin Chairman Victor Gauntlett as, 'a stylish thoroughbred, beautifully built, luxurious, fast and immensely safe', the V8 was built in several variants, one of the more exclusive being the Volante convertible. Introduced in response to customers' demands for such a car, the Volante first appeared in June 1978. Arguably the ultimate in soft-top luxury, the newcomer boasted a lined, power-operated hood which, when erected, endowed the walnut embellished interior with all the solidity and refinement associated with the saloon version. Although its open-car aerodynamics meant that top speed suffered with the hood down, the Volante's 150mph maximum nevertheless ranked it among the world's fastest convertibles. Its copy Car Record Card reveals that this left-hand drive V8 Volante left the factory finished in Jaguar Silver Sand with fawn leather interior. Chassis number '15462' is equipped with automatic transmission like the vast majority of Volantes, and was delivered new to AML North America Inc on 14 March 1986. The AMOC Register records one of the car's owners in the USA as E N Monogenis, while there is a copy State of Florida Certificate of Title on file showing that one Alfonso Valdes sold the Aston to marque specialists Autosport Designs Inc. Autosport Designs sold the Aston to the current vendor on 3 November 2010 (copy bill of sale available noting the European bumper conversion was included in the purchase price). Subsequently exported, if the car is to remain in the UK it is subject to the low import duty rate of 5% and will require registering.

1968 Aston Martin DB6 VolanteRegistration no. not registeredChassis no. DBVC/3675/RTo view a video of this lot please click here*One of 140 DB6 Mark I Volantes*Manual transmission*Desirable 'triple black' colour scheme*Supplied with Aston Martin Assured ProvenanceFootnotes:The culmination of Aston-Martin's long-running six-cylinder 'DB' line, the DB6 was launched at the Paris and London Motor Shows in 1965 and was recognisably related to the Touring-styled DB4 of 1958. The wheelbase was now 4' longer than before, resulting in an extensive re-style with more-raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. Although apparently a bigger car than its predecessors, the weight of the new model was in fact only fractionally increased. Opening front quarter lights made a reappearance but the major change was at the rear where a Kamm-style tail with spoiler marginally reduced aerodynamic drag. The Tadek Marek-designed double-overhead-camshaft six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5 and remained unchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox, and for the first time power-assisted steering was available. After 37 Volante convertibles had been completed on the DB5 short-wheelbase chassis, the model adopted the longer DB6 chassis in October 1966. Distinguishable by its flared wheelarches and DBS wheels, the DB6 Mark 2 introduced in 1969 could be had with AE Brico electronic fuel injection. A total of 1,575 DB6 saloons was made between 1965 and 1970, plus 178 of the long-wheelbase Volante convertibles. One of 140 DB6 Volantes Mark 1s made, '3675/R' was sold new via H R Owen to Leslie Holt, Esq and registered as 'LES 1' on 4th March 1968. The accompanying copy order form reveals that the DB6 was delivered finished in black with matching trim. '3675/R' left the factory equipped with the ZF five-speed manual gearbox, chrome road wheels, 3-ear hubcaps, power operated aerial, front safety belts, and a limited-slip differential with 3.73:1 final drive ratio. The engine is currently on triple Weber carburettors, indicating that it has potentially been upgraded to Vantage specification, though it is not known when or by whom this was done. Records held by the AMOC show that the Volante was owned by one R W H Masters circa 1976, followed by Michael J Malone of Seattle, USA from 1987 to 1990, during whose ownership it was shown at the Pebble Beach concours (in 1989). Subsequent known owners include J Cornet, London (1993 – 1998); H Winstanley, Northants (1999 – 2000); and D M Campion (2000 onwards). The Volante is offered with the all-important Aston Martin Assured Provenance (issued January 2021). This certification states that the car has matching engine and gearbox numbers and is largely original (the audio system is an after-market fitting) and that no evidence was found of body repairs. The front brake callipers and master cylinder were fitted with new seals by Aston Martin Works in 2017, and the right front chassis leg repaired at the same time (heavy corrosion is noted on both rear outriggers). Having been stored for some time, this car may require recommissioning prior to road use. The very pinnacle of British open-top motoring in the 1960s, this DB6 Volante benefits from a desirable colour scheme, manual transmission and is worthy of the closest inspection.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1968 Aston Martin DBS Sports SaloonRegistration no. not UK registeredChassis no. DBS/5013/R*First registered in the UK*Restored by Chris Shenton Engineering in 1999*Present ownership since 2012Footnotes:Although always intended to house the new Tadek Marek-designed V8 engine, the Aston Martin DBS first appeared with the 4.0-litre 'six' of the concurrently produced DB6. Styled in-house by William Towns, the beautiful DBS caused quite a stir, Autocar magazine observing: 'Without the aid of an Italian stylist the Newport Pagnell team came up with something as modern, handsome and Italianate as anything from the Turin coachbuilders at that time.'Assessing the virtues of Aston's new flagship, Autocar judged it superior to the DB6 in many areas, the bigger DBS offering four full-sized seats in addition to transformed handling and roadholding courtesy of the new rear suspension and standardised power steering. This DBS was originally registered on 10th May 1968 in Cheshire with the registration 'CMB 180F'. Its copy guarantee form shows that the Aston was delivered via Wilmslow Garages and first owned by a Mr PWA Sutton of Sussex. The original colour scheme was Kingfisher Blue with dark blue interior trim, and the car left the factory equipped with power assisted steering; a Motorola radio; and front seat belts.In 1999 the DBS was extensively rebuilt by marque specialists Chris Shenton Engineering. The restoration included an engine rebuild (stripped to the bare block); inspection of the gearbox; chassis repaired wherever necessary and Waxoyled; brakes fully reconditioned; and the electrics overhauled. The preceding owner purchased the Aston in August 2002 from the proprietor of a Nissan main dealership in Dublin, ROI where it was registered 'ZV 6338'. The car was maintained regularly in Dublin, the most significant work done being cylinder head gasket replacement in October 2003 and conversion to unleaded compatibility by specialists South Cerney Engineering. The clutch was replaced in 2011. The current owner purchased the DBS at Bonhams' sale at the RAF Museum, Hendon in April 2012 (Lot 355) and subsequently exported the car. As such, it now attracts the low import duty rate of 5% if it is to remain in the UK.

1980 Aston Martin V8 'Oscar India' Sports SaloonRegistration no. GDA 128V (see text)Chassis no. V8 SOR 12195*Automatic transmission*Refurbished in Italy in the 2000s*Remote central locking/alarm*Present ownership since 2010Footnotes:Shortly after reorganisation under new ownership as AML (1975) Ltd, Aston Martin resumed development of its highly successful V8 sports saloon. A host of improvements was to be incorporated in the forthcoming Series 4, scheduled for introduction in October 1978. Built from then until 1986, these cars are generally known by the factory's 'Oscar India' sobriquet, standing for 'October Introduction'. The most obvious differences were a restyled bonnet and boot-mounted spoiler, while the cabin received a redesigned dashboard and centre console, and the headlining became leather rather than cloth. There were, of course, countless other improvements, most notably to the air conditioning and shock absorber settings. Autocar magazine found much to commend in the 'Oscar India' tested in October 1978, reckoning that this latest example from the Newport Pagnell factory stood out as the best-built and most competently finished car it had ever known Aston Martin produce. An automatic transmission model equipped with the Vantage-type front spoiler, this particular 'Oscar India' was retailed via Clifford Sales Ltd and first owned by one A R C Cavendish-Cook of Surrey. Copy records on file show that the car was originally finished in (non-standard) Hereford Brown with Magnolia leather interior, and that it left the factory equipped with Weber carburettors; two detachable headrests; two Cibié auxiliary driving lights; electric door mirror; lockable filler caps; and headlamp wash/wipe. In 2004 the Aston was purchased from Byron International in London by the preceding owner and shipped to Italy for restoration works. All lower wishbone bushes were renewed, the fuel pump and Weber carburettors stripped and rebuilt, and 80% of the electrical wiring replaced. New parts fitted included the front/rear brake discs and pads; wheel hubs; BBS wheels; tyres; ancillary drive belts; ignition leads; spark plugs; and battery. In addition, the car has been fitted with remote central locking/alarm and an Alpine stereo system complete with electric aerial. All fluids and filters were changed in February 2010, and the Aston has seen little use since it was purchased by the vendor at Bonhams' Monaco sale in April 2010 (Lot 161). Please note that if the car remains in the UK, it is subject to the low import duty rate of 5% and - although offered with a copy V5C registration document - will require re-registering if it is to remain in the UK.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * N* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.N If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, whilst the responsibility of submitting the NOVA rests with the Buyer to do so, Bonhams will facilitate the process by engaging an agent (CARS) to undertake the NOVA on the Buyer's behalf.

c.1971 Aston Martin DB6 Mark 2 Vantage Sports SaloonRegistration no. HDS 653H (see text)Chassis no. DB6 MK2/4184/RTo view a video of this lot please click here*One of 71 DB6 Mark 2 Vantages*To substantially original specification (see text)*Interior re-Connollised, carpets renewed*Supplied with Aston Martin Assured ProvenanceFootnotes:The culmination of Aston-Martin's long-running line of 'DB' six-cylinder sports saloons, the DB6 was introduced in 1965. Recognisably related to the Touring-styled DB4 of 1958, the DB6 abandoned the Superleggera body structure of its predecessors in favour of a conventional steel fabrication. The wheelbase was now 4' longer than before, resulting in an extensive re-style with more-raked windscreen, raised roofline and reshaped rear quarter windows. Opening front quarter lights made a re-appearance, but the major change was at the rear where a Kamm-style tail with spoiler improved the aerodynamics, greatly enhancing stability at high speeds. The Tadek Marek-designed six-cylinder engine had been enlarged to 3,995cc for the preceding DB5, and remained unchanged. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed gearbox, and for the first time there was optional power-assisted steering. Introduced in July 1969, the DB6 Mark 2 incorporated many components shared with the new DBS, most obviously the latter's wider wheels, which necessitated flaring the front and rear wheelarches. All Mark 2 Vantages came with the highest (325bhp) 'C' state of tune, while all cars benefited from power-assisted steering as standard. Production lasted until November 1970, during which time only 240 DB6 Mark 2s were manufactured, 71 of which were to Vantage specification. Chassis number '4184/R' comes with the all-important Aston Martin Assured Provenance (issued January 2021), though assessment of the car's originality was hampered by the lack of any service history or a build sheet due to the destruction of the original factory records from this year of production. Nevertheless, the engine, gearbox, suspension and brakes were found to be to original specification, and no evidence was found of repairs to either the body or chassis. The interior upholstery has been re-Connollised and the carpets renewed, and the car has been fitted with an after-market 8-track radio/cassette and its associated speakers. Additional documentation consists of a NOVA confirmation dated August 2017; an AMW Internal Invoice for a fuel filter, spark plugs, and a new Bosch battery (2018); and an old-style V5C Registration Certificate (issued 2005) in the name of Donald Anderson of Glasgow (it should be noted that the car is not currently registered). The car is offered from long term storage and requires recommissioning.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

DB4/1007/L*Original left-hand drive export model*Delivered new to Sweden*Overdrive transmission*Present ownership since 2007Footnotes:'Performance, controllability and comfort have been combined in the Aston Martin DB4 to make it a highly desirable car: one in which long journeys can be completed very quickly indeed with the minimum of risk or discomfort and the maximum of pleasure.' - The Motor. Classically proportioned and instantly recognisable from the moment of its introduction in 1958, the Touring-styled Aston Martin DB4 established a look that would evolve through the DB5 to the DB6. The DB4's new twin-cam six-cylinder engine displaced 3,670cc, delivering 240bhp, and enabling it to become the first production car capable of accelerating from a standing start to 100mph and back to rest again in under 30 seconds. At a time when few family saloons were capable of exceeding 70mph and took an age to get there, this staggering performance made the DB4 just about the fastest thing on the road, easily the equal of its Italian rivals.Chassis 1007 is an example of the final (fifth) series manufactured between September 1962 and June 1963. It was built on a 3.5' longer wheelbase, like the DB5 that would replace it and allowing for increased leg room and a larger boot. Other improvements included 15' wheels, an electric radiator fan, and the DB4GT-type instrument panel. The accompanying copy guarantee form shows that chassis number '1007/L' left the factory equipped with the optional overdrive; 3.77:1 rear axle ratio; heated rear screen; power aerial; radio housing; steering column distance piece; and a de-carbonising kit. The original colour scheme was Black Pearl with dark grey Connolly leather interior, and the Aston was delivered new in January 1963 to one Svend Tidstrand of Tidstrand Yllefabrik AB in Sweden. In June 2007 the DB4 was sold to the current owner by Brinkert Classic Automobiles of Recklinghausen, Germany and exported from the EU. The car has covered minimal distance since and is likely to require re-commissioning prior to serious road use. A copy of the sales invoice is on file and the Aston also comes with a copy Swedish registration document, and various copy invoices late 1990s/early 2000s. If the car is to remain in the UK it is subject to the low import duty rate of 5% and will require registering.
