1995 Ferrari 456 GT CoupéCoachwork by PininfarinaRegistration no. F1 FCCChassis no. ZFFSP44C000100729*Delivered new in the UK*Manual transmission*Exceptionally well maintained*Full specialist service historyFootnotes:Not since the 412's demise in 1989 had Ferrari offered a '2+2' and when the 456 GT debuted at the Paris Salon in October 1992 it was obvious that the long awaited newcomer eclipsed all Maranello's previous four-seat Grand Tourers. Although new from stem to stern, the 456 GT incorporated elements familiar to generations of Ferrari cognoscenti - front-mounted four-cam V12, rear transaxle, tubular steel spaceframe chassis and all-independent suspension - while making an appearance for the first time were electronically-controlled adaptive suspension and a six-speed gearbox (there was also an optional automatic).Essentially a de-tuned version of that powering the 550 and 575, the new 5.5-litre V12 unleashed no less than 442bhp at a lowly 6,250rpm, yet remained smooth and tractable from idling speed to red-line thanks to its state-of-the-art engine management system. F40 excepted, the 456 was the most powerful road car developed by Ferrari up to that time, yet despite delivering supercar performance this relatively unstressed engine has proven to be very reliable.For the 456 Pininfarina worked its magic once more to create a subtly beautiful curvaceous body contrasting with the hard edges of its predecessor. Although bereft of extraneous aerodynamic devices, the 456 remained stable up to its maximum of around 190mph, a figure that made it the world's fastest production four-seater passenger car. Acclaimed on its debut, the 456's styling has not dated and is a tribute to Pininfarina's farsightedness in creating one of most successful designs of modern times. An air-conditioned interior, sumptuous Connolly leather trim, perfectly weighted power steering and Porsche-rivalling build quality all combined to make the 456 GT a worthy competitor for Bentley, Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz.A rare and desirable manual transmission model, this Ferrari 456 GT was sold by Maranello Concessionaires, Egham on 6th January 1995 to the Singaporean billionaire hotelier Kwek Leng Beng and registered to his Millennium & Copthorne Hotel Group's South Kensington address. Subsequently the Ferrari was owned between 2000 and 2011 by Sir Bruce MacPhail, Managing Director of P &O. This car's service history is reassuringly comprehensive, there being no fewer than 18 services recorded with recognised specialists (mainly Graypaul) between 21st October 1996 at 6,905 miles to 14th June 2018 at 64,440 miles (the current odometer reading is 64,839 miles). Recent works include refreshment of the paintwork and sills, etc between and 2018 and 2019 by Fiennes Restoration at cost of circa £20,000, and various electrical and mechanical works by Kent High Performance prior to last MoT in October 2019 at a cost of circa £6,000. Described by the private vendor as in good condition throughout, this exceptionally well maintained Ferrari 456 GT comes complete with its leather service folder, owner's manual, leather case and tools, history file, V5C document, and current MoT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1959 Aston Martin DB4 Series I Sports SaloonRegistration no. XLE 46Chassis no. DB4/148/REngine no. 370/158*Rare 'first of the breed' Series 1 example *Celebrated first owner and continuous provenance*Matching chassis and engine numbers*Original registration number and colour scheme*Offered at No Reserve A much sought-after 'Series 1' example, chassis number '148/R' was sold new to Richard Gordon Ltd of South Audley St, London finished in Pacific Blue with Blue Grey Connolly leather interior. Richard Gordon was the pen name of Gordon Ostlere, a noted surgeon and anaesthetist, who also wrote the immensely popular 'Doctor...' series of comic novels and their television, movie and stage adaptations, commencing with 'Doctor in the House' (1952). Registered 'XLE 46', the DB4 was delivered to Gordon Ostlere on 26th September 1959 from Brooklands Garage, London. In an accompanying letter he recalls 'showing it off' at Pinewood Studios. Unfortunately, nothing is known of the second owner, Mrs B J Smith of Burgess Hill, Sussex. In 1967 the Aston was bought by its third owner, Mr Robin C McKinney of Lisburn, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, who was President of the Ulster Automobile Club for many years. Fourth owner Mr Malcolm MacGregor of Belfast, Northern Ireland bought the car in 1968. A long time AMOC and Ulster Automobile Club member, Malcolm MacGregor competed with the DB4 in numerous events, including the Spelga Pass Hill Climb (2nd) and the Soyn Fin Hill Climb (1st), both in 1968. As the period photograph on file shows, this also included 'XLE 46' being used as the course car for the Circuit of Ireland Rally. In the early 1970s the Aston was bought by its fifth owner, Mr Roy Jones of Wickham Bishops, Essex, who had worked for the Aston Martin works racing team (article on file). Roy Jones was an engine builder working on the very successful DB3S and DBR1 racing engines, and later put his knowledge and expertise to good use when rebuilding and tuning the DB4's engine, which he describes in an accompanying letter. Joint sixth owners brothers Stephen and Jeffery Archer (sons of much loved AMOC stalwart Alan) bought the DB4 in 1978 and kept the car for some three years before it was sold in August 1981 to Julian Rosser, a keen Aston Martin enthusiast and for many years the AMOC area representative for South Wales. He had a considerable amount of restoration work carried out on the car, the majority of which was undertaken by Jack Moss of Four Ashes Garage (invoices and correspondence are on file). The next (eighth) owner (a Mr Sparkes) bought 'XLE 46' in September 1994 and would become its custodian of longest standing, cherishing the Aston until 2019, a period of 25 years. The accompanying history file contains the purchase agreement from when Mr Sparkes bought the car in 1994 together with his correspondence with previous owners.Undertaken by 22GT Racing in December 2019 and R S Williams in March 2020, the most recent works included extensive servicing; new front and rear windscreens and associated trim; miscellaneous chassis work; boot trim; cosmetic enhancement; and a gearbox rebuild, collectively totalling a little under £17,000.The current odometer reading is 36,603 miles, representing a total of circa 136,603 covered from new. Its last serious restoration having been undertaken some 30 years ago, 'XLE 46' naturally shows some signs of age, with some external marks and a delightfully patinated interior. 'XLE 46' is offered with a very comprehensive and well-ordered lever-arch file containing the instruction book; the V5C registration document; a copy of the original build sheet; assorted correspondence; current MoT (expires March 2021); many past MoTs (earliest 1981); many invoices mostly covering servicing and parts supply (chiefly from the Rosser/Sparkes ownership period 1981-2019, but the earliest dated 1978). In full roadworthy condition, this is a car that can be used and enjoyed 'as is', or improved upon as and when the fortunate buyer chooses. It is also one of the rarest of Aston Martin's Touring-styled Superleggera sports saloons, being the 48th of only 150 'Series 1' DB4s built. This delightful example is worthy of close inspection – not least as it is offered without reserve – and a welcome addition to any collection. Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 215
1973 Aston Martin V8 Sports SaloonRegistration no. not UK registeredChassis no. V8/10535/RCA*Cosmetically restored in the 1990s*In Germany for the last 10 years*German registration papers*TÜV valid to 2021*Automatic transmissionFootnotes:'Anyone wondering why Aston Martin bother to make their own vee-8 when so many big American ones are so cheaply available need take only one look at the performance data... for the best explanation in the world. Whatever the undisclosed output of the Aston V8, it is enough to rocket this heavy car to 60mph from rest in exactly six seconds and to 100mph in only 14.7 seconds. Much more than this, we were able to reach 138 mph from rest in a mile and on the Continent record a mean maximum speed of 161.5 mph.' - Autocar, 8 July 1971.Although always intended to house the new Tadek Marek-designed V8, the DBS first appeared with the 4.0-litre six of the concurrently produced DB6. Styled in-house by Bill Towns, the four-seater DBS employed a platform-type chassis with independent suspension all round: wishbone and coil-spring at the front, De Dion with Watts linkage at the rear. Bigger and more luxuriously appointed than the DB6, the heavier DBS disappointed some by virtue of its slightly reduced performance, but there were no complaints when the V8 arrived in 1969. With an estimated 345bhp available from its 5,340cc, fuel-injected, four-cam motor, the DBS V8 could reach 100mph in under 14 seconds, running on to a top speed of 160mph - a staggering performance in those days and one which fully justified the claim that it was the fastest production car in the world. Even in automatic transmission form the V8 could reach 100mph in around 15 seconds and better 145mph flat-out.In 1972 the acquisition of Aston Martin by Company Developments brought with it a change of name for the V8-engined cars: out went DBS V8, in came AM V8. This new Series 2 was readily distinguishable by its restyled front that now featured two instead of four headlamps and recalled the looks of the earlier DB six-cylinder cars. Electronic ignition and air conditioning were now standard. An automatic transmission model, this original right-hand drive Aston Martin V8 has resided in Germany for the last 10 years in the hands of only two owners, as recorded in its German Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil II. The vendor, who owns a well-known classic car restoration company, bought the Aston Martin many years ago from its first German owner. A lover of the Aston Martin marque, he has driven the car sparingly, covering only a nominal mileage over the years.However, having everything on hand to service it properly, the vendor describes the car as in very good condition mechanically and cosmetically excellent both inside and out. Offered with German historic registration papers and a clean TÜV to 2021, this classic Aston Martin can be registered and enjoyed without delay. (The AMOC Register records the UK registration as 'VPR 337L').This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NN If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, undertaken by Bonhams upon a successful sale, to facilitate the registration of the machine here in the UK.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

One of only six 60th Anniversary LE Special Editions, each representing a different decade of Aston Martin.2015 Aston Martin AM Works 60th Anniversary LE Vanquish VolanteRegistration no. KM15 WXNChassis no. SCFFPLCGU7FGK02481•One of only three 60th Anniversary LE Vanquish Volantes made•One owner from new•Delivery mileage•Professionally stored•All books and toolsFootnotes:'Vanquish sits proudly at the top of the Aston Martin model range. As our flagship Grand Tourer it represents the height of our design, engineering, technology and craftsmanship. ...it is a car of unprecedented ability, it is the very essence of Aston Martin.' – Aston Martin.An entirely new Aston Martin for the 21st Century, the original Vanquish debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2001. Styled by Ian Callum, the man responsible for the DB7, the V12-engined Vanquish took over from the Vantage V8, the Newport Pagnell factory undergoing an extensive multi-million pound refurbishment to accommodate it. For the successor, '2nd Generation' Vanquish, production shifted to Aston Martin's new factory at Gaydon, from whence deliveries commenced in 2012. Seeking to end Aston Martin's reliance on outside coachbuilders, then company boss David Brown had purchased Newport Pagnell-based Tickford Ltd in 1955. Within ten years, the Newport Pagnell site had become Aston Martin's home. At its height, the factory built more of its cars 'in-house' than almost any other manufacturer, including chassis, engine, bodywork, and trim. Even after production moved to Gaydon in 2007, part of the Newport Pagnell site was retained by Aston Martin Works, and the association between the town and the marque continues to this day.To commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the association, Aston Martin Works commissioned six special cars (three Vanquish coupés and three Vanquish Volante convertibles), each representing a particular decade. Each limited edition Vanquish was styled by the design team at Aston Martin Lagonda working with the company's bespoke personalisation service: 'Q by Aston Martin'. Uniquely, these cars use authentic materials carefully selected from each era of the last 60 years to create a celebration of the past, present, and future of Aston Martin Works at Newport Pagnell.The first car, a white Volante, was unveiled just before Christmas 2014 to specially invited customers at the annual party; the remaining cars were built during the first few months of 2015. Five of the six cars were, for the first time, brought together in May 2015 for the AM Works/Bonhams auction, and the following day in a special class at the AMOC Spring Concours.This unique 60th Anniversary Vanquish Volante was sold new by Aston Martin works to the current vendor in 2015 and has been professionally stored since then, covering delivery mileage only. Presented in effectively 'as new' condition, this highly collectible limited edition Aston Martin is offered with all books and tools. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Cooper Car Co's Last-Built Single-Seater, the Ex-Peter Rehl Daytona Road Race of Champions-winning1969 Cooper-Chevrolet T90 Formula A/5000 Racing Single-SeaterChassis no. F1C/3/69*Final Cooper Single Seater model*One of only three cars built*Period race winning career, including 'Road Race of Champions'*Exquisitely restoredFootnotes:This remarkable Formula A/5000 Cooper-Chevrolet has tremendous historic significance in that it is the very last single-seater competition car ever to be built by the legendary Cooper Car Company in its late-period home factory at Canada Road, Byfleet, Surrey in the south-east of England.It is the last of only three Formula A/5000 5-litre Cooper T90s constructed for 1969, two of which exhibited at that January's Racing Car Show in London, neither of which initially sold there. The design was based around a robust light-alloy-skinned monocoque hull derived from Cooper's contemporary T86B Formula 1 chassis. While the prototype T90 'F1C/1/68' was subsequently campaigned in three late-year British Formula 5000 rounds by Chris Warwick-Drake – later passing to Andrew Goodfellow for hill-climbing in 1972 – the second chassis 'F1C/2/69' would only become active in 1970, in the hands of Aston Martin development engineer/driver Peter Hawtin who sadly crashed fatally in his car at Oulton Park in September, 1971.Meanwhile this now exquisitely rebuilt, third and last Cooper-Chevrolet T90 – chassis 'F1C/3/69' – became the only one to find an immediate home. It was with American Cooper enthusiast – and already well-known driver of an always well-prepared Formula B Cooper single-seater – Peter Rehl. He contested not only Continental Championship Formula A (the US equivalent of 5-litre British, European, Antipodean and South African Formula 5000) but also a busy programme of more minor 'club-level' US events. At the National level he not only won two frontline races, at Lime Rock and Bryar, but also dominated the end of season SCCA Championship Run-Offs at Daytona International Speedway.The frontline racing record of Peter Rehl's Cooper-Chevrolet T90 now offered here is as follows:July 6, 1969 – SCCA National, Lime Rock – Peter Rehl – Cooper-Chevrolet T90 – FIRSTJuly 20, 1969 – Badger '200', Elkhart Lake - Peter Rehl – Cooper-Chevrolet T90 – 7thAugust 2, 1969 – Schaefer Grand Prix, Lime Rock - Peter Rehl – Cooper-Chevrolet T90 – 9thAugust 31, 1969 – SCCA National, Bryar Motorsports Park - Peter Rehl – Cooper-Chevrolet T90 – FIRSTSeptember 1, 1969 – Lime Rock Grand Prix - Peter Rehl – Cooper-Chevrolet T90 – 7thSeptember 7, 1969 – Ste Jovite (Canada) - Peter Rehl – Cooper-Chevrolet T90 – Retired '27th'November 29, 1969 – Road Race of Champions, Daytona - Peter Rehl – Cooper-Chevrolet T90 – FIRSTApril 19, 1970 – Riverside Grand Prix - Peter Rehl – Cooper-Chevrolet T90 – 24thWhen he advertised the car for sale in 1971 Peter Rehl amusingly derided the US West Coast-based Formula A opposition that he had faced, for claiming 500bhp or more from their Chevrolet engines as tuned for them by such specialists as Al Bartz and Traco Engineering. His Cooper had simply blown them all away during the Daytona run-offs which he had won so handsomely.In new hands 'F1C/3/69 – the last-ever 'real' Cooper – subsequently contested several National events and one more professional Formula 5000 race before beginning a long sojourn in a private collection in eastern Massachusetts. Once acquired by the present vendors, this evocative and potent racing Cooper has benefited from extensive yet sensitive restoration, respectful to its unique history. Those who contributed craftsmanship, experience and detail knowledge to the project not only included original owners Peter Rehl and Dick Yagami, Pat Prince of Prince Racing, John Grubb at J&J Racing, Phil Harris at TrueChoice and Bill McCurdy of Williams Racing, but also Bob McKee of McKee Engineering and original Cooper Car Co specialist Tony Whitburn who led this car's original build at Canada Road, Byfleet back in 1969.The seller reports that the car has been run infrequently post restoration, and subsequently carefully 'pickled'/drained of fluids such that it is ready for its next outing. Accompanying the car are its original wheels, which might serve as decoration than use, and the original alloy nose piece, itself an appealing item.The Cooper Car Company's final closure was announced on May 22, 1969. It had been a terrific ride, and Cooper cars today are still campaigned very competitively in Historic Formula 1, 2 and 3, Formula B and Atlantic, plus sports-racing car form almost every weekend somewhere in the world. This Road Race of Champions-winning Cooper-Chevrolet T90 has been beautifully restored to rejoin that venerable coterie.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, undertaken by Bonhams upon a successful sale, to facilitate the registration of the machine here in the UK.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from The Chester Collection1964 Aston Martin DB5 Sports SaloonRegistration no. BXA 850BChassis no. DB5/1436/R*Six owners from new*Matching numbers*Well documented history*Extensive professional restoration 2016-2018Footnotes:Chassis number '1436/R' was sold new by supplying dealership Callanders on 21st March 1964. The original copy guarantee form records chrome road wheels, heated rear screen, Motorola 818 radio, power operated aerial, two Marchal fog lamps, and two wing mirrors as items of additional equipment, while the car's original colour scheme was Aegean Blue with White Gold Connolly leather interior trim. '1436/R' has had six owners from new. The first onward sale, recorded by a Bill of Sale, was on 10th November 1977 when Paradise Garage of Parsons Green, West London sold the Aston to Lt Cdr G Q S Parker, RN for £3,850. The comprehensive history file records a bare-metal re-spray completed in May 1985 for the sum of £1,840. At this point in time, '1436/R' was painted a light Mink Brown. There are numerous bills on file for the period 1978–1989 from Aston Service Dorset and many other specialists, while a further bill on file dated 30th June 1989 from Village Industries Ltd of Stafford is for substantial mechanical repairs totalling £1,688.51. Lt Cdr Parker owned the Aston for some 14 years, using it as a daily driver until 7th September 1991 when it was sold to a Mr Brian Hall-Tomkin of Devon for £31,500. There is a letter on file dated 22nd July 1991 to Bob Fountain of Aston Workshop from Mr Hall-Tomkin asking him to find a DB5.The car next changed hands on 25th July 1993, passing to Mr G Kelsey of South London for in the region of £23,000. There are many bills on file dating from Mr Kelsey's ownership from marque specialists Pugsley & Lewis for servicing and repairs to the car for the period 1995 to 2013. There are also some 25 MoTs in the history file dating from 1981 (at 60,352 miles) up to the present day at 103.480. The car was little used during Mr Kelsey's ownership, and in the last 24 years has only covered some 6,700 miles. The numerous invoices on file substantiate the mileage records during the earlier period.In 2013, the DB5 was purchased by the immediately preceding owner, who decided to have it restored in 2016. Completed in 2018, '1436/R' is now resplendent in the classic combination of Silver Birch paintwork with a black leather interior. Undertaken by marque specialists Prestige Paintworks of Golden Cross, East Sussex, the restoration of the body and paintwork took in excess of 1,200 hours and cost £60,000 excluding the refurbishment of the chrome (£4,728). On completion of the bodywork, the car was returned to Pugsley & Lewis, who carried out a comprehensive mechanical restoration and interior refresh costing £135,999 (bill on file). The current vendor acquired the car in May 2019, since when it has been carefully stored at a professional facility and checked over regularly by his own mechanic. Driving superbly and looking absolutely immaculate, this beautiful Aston Martin DB5 is 'on the button' and ready to delight its fortunate next custodian.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1952 Lagonda 2.6-Litre Drophead CoupéRegistration no. XMY 138Chassis no. LAG/50/450*Designed by W O Bentley*Elegant British Gran Turismo*Re-trimmed interior and new hood circa 2013*Good history fileFootnotes:It is said that when David Brown acquired Lagonda in 1947 all he got was a famous name, a collection of engineering drawings, and a handful of prototypes. And although Lagonda's chief engineer and designer, the great W O Bentley, quit the firm when Brown took over, he did leave behind the 2.6-litre, six-cylinder, twin-overhead-camshaft engine that would power the Aston Martin DB2 and the next generation of Lagondas. Although it retained a separate chassis, Bentley's 2.6-Litre Lagonda was advanced in other ways, featuring independent suspension all round: by double wishbones and coil-springs at the front - a layout similar to that adopted on the DB4 - and semi-trailing arms at the rear where the brakes were mounted inboard to reduce un-sprung weight. It had been intended that the new Lagonda would exploit a perceived gap in the luxury car market between Jaguar and Rover at one end and Rolls-Royce and Bentley at the other. W O's design succeeded brilliantly in this, being able to carry five persons and their luggage at high speed and in great comfort. One of Lagonda's, and David Brown's, greatest assets was stylist Frank Feeley, the man responsible for the Italianate flair of the DB2, and while Feeley's 2.6-Litre looked back nostalgically at the Lagondas of pre-war years, his prototypes produced on that chassis in the late 1940s hinted at the 3-Litre model to come. Production of the 2.6-Litre amounted to 543 cars. First registered in March 1952, chassis number 'LAG/50/450' was acquired by the immediately preceding owner in October 2016 having benefited circa 2013 from a re-trimmed interior and a new maroon hood. We are advised that the paintwork is too good to be original, and it appears that the car has had plenty of work done, although it is not known whether or not it has been fully restored at any time. The car has had a dent in a front wing professionally repaired since its acquisition by the vendor, who has decided that advancing years necessitates a slimming-down of his collection, hence the decision to sell. Exempt from testing but professionally prepared to MoT standard, the car is offered with paperwork consisting of a quantity of expired MoTs, numerous bills dating back to 1978, an old-style logbook, and a V5C Registration Certificate. A workshop manual, an original sales brochure, and a box of assorted spares are included in the sale, and the spare wheel is present.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Offered from The Chester Collection1966 Aston Martin DB6 Sports SaloonRegistration no. NBY 929DChassis no. DB6/2450/RFootnotes:*Previous ownership from 1981 to 2019*Off the road 1982-2015*Extensively restored between 2015 and 2018*Little used since completion'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. This Aston Martin DB6 was purchased in Leytonstone, East London in 1981 and taken off the road the following year, remaining laid up until 2015 when a major restoration commenced. Completed in 2018, this extensive rebuild is documented by invoices totalling £94,000 from Mega-Tech Engineering of Brandon, Suffolk for works carried out between February 2015 and February 2017, together with others for parts supplied by Aston Service Dorset to the value of £18,000. The car also comes with a photographic record of the chassis restoration. Previously, in February 2006, the engine had been rebuilt by renowned marque specialists R S Williams Ltd. Other works carried out included fully rebuilding the transmission; installing a new wiring loom; re-trimming the seats and renewing the carpets (with soundproofing); and fitting a stainless steel exhaust system and MWS wire wheels.It should be noted that this car left the factory equipped with automatic transmission but has since been fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox, possibly by the factory as all parts used are of Aston Martin origin. The restoration was completed by D Wood MotorSport at Aston Service Dorset, since when the car has seen little use. It remains in commensurately excellent condition.The immediately preceding owner, a mechanical engineer, had intended to drive the DB6 once restored but felt that it was too good to use and, regretfully, decided to offer it for sale. The current vendor purchased the Aston in May 2019, since when it has been carefully stored at a professional facility and checked over regularly by his own mechanic. Accompanying paperwork consists of a V5C registration document and the aforementioned restoration bills.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1990 Aston Martin Virage 6.3-Litre 'Wide Body' CoupéRegistration no. G281 DPKChassis no. SCFCAM15LBR50009•One of the most powerful of the Aston MartinV8 family•Made in limited numbers•Present ownership since 2016•65,576 miles recorded Footnotes:After almost 20 years in production, Aston's well-liked V8 was updated for the 1990s as the Virage. The existing Lagonda chassis and suspension were used in revised form for the new car, while engine development was entrusted to Callaway Engineering, of Connecticut. Immensely strong, the old V8's bottom half was retained but fitted with new cylinder heads boasting four valves per cylinder and hydraulic tappets. Launched in October 1988, the sensational newcomer restated its forerunner's muscular looks in the modern idiom, contriving to be slightly narrower yet providing increased interior space. The car was still no lightweight, but with 330bhp on tap was good enough for a top speed approaching 160mph and a 0-60mph time of under seven seconds. Ahead of its forthcoming twin-supercharged Vantage, Aston Martin offered 6.3-litre conversions for the existing 5,340cc V8-engined Virage and Virage Volante that had been developed by R S Williams. When first released, the '6.3' produced 456bhp at 6,000rpm and 460lb/ft of torque. The resulting performance gains - 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds and a top speed of up to 174mph (depending on the axle ratio) - required serious chassis modifications; the '6.3' boasting sports suspension, 18'-diameter alloy wheels shod with Goodyear 285/45ZR18 tyres, and double vented and cross-drilled 14' front disc brakes, the largest seen on a production car at that time. Anti-lock brakes appeared for the first time on an Aston Martin on the '6.3'. Outwardly the '6.3' was distinguishable by flared wheel arches and new front, side and rear valances, giving rise to its popular 'Wide Body' designation. Some cars were supplied to '6.3' specification by the factory while others were converted subsequently by Aston Martin's Service Division. This Virage 6.3-litre 'Wide Body' was first registered as '4 AP' and then 'BTS 97' before obtaining its current registration 'G281 DPK'. The car has belonged to the current registered keeper since 2015 and is known to have been worked on by marque specialists Nicholas Mee and Oselli Engineering, but at time of cataloguing no supporting documents were available. Finished in red with ivory leather interior, the car displays a total of 65,576 miles on the odometer and is described by the vendor as in generally good condition. Offered with HPI check and a V5C Registration Certificate, it represents a rare opportunity to own one of the most exciting and spectacular members of the Aston Martin V8 family.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

'KOO 912' had been delivered new in 1962 to a county cricketer, who bought the Elite with his testimonial match takings. Specialist Miles Wilkins refurbished the Lotus while the car was in the hands of its second owner, who sold it in March 1981 to the aforementioned long-term custodian. The latter competed with the Elite at various circuit events such as the HSCC Roadsports championship from 1983 until 1988, achieving several class wins and one outright win at Brands Hatch in June '88. 'KOO 912' is fitted with a highly desirable ZF gearbox and twin Weber carburettors, making it one of the more competitive examples. Subsequently, the car underwent a complete restoration: the bodyshell being restored by Tony Bates in 1995 while the interior was re-upholstered in leather and all trim and carpets replaced. The engine was rebuilt by Tony Mantle of Climax Engine Services at a cost of £4,400, which included replacing the cylinder head. The ZF gearbox was inspected but deemed in good condition, and the clutch plate replaced. Fewer than 1,000 miles had been covered post-rebuild when the Elite was purchased at auction by the current vendor in 2015. At that time the car was said to have been set up on a rolling road, with the carburetion and timing adjusted. Parts listed as renewed during the restoration included the chrome wire wheels, wheel spinners, wiring loom, battery, brake pipes, master cylinders, clutch slave cylinder, brake pads, handbrake cable, petrol tank, fuel lines, fuel gauge, fuel gauge sender, speedometer and rev counter drive cables, throttle cable, hoses and rubbers, suspension bushes, engine mounts, steering column doughnut, window frames, windscreen and rear screen, rubber surrounds and trims, and new gutter trims. Since acquisition the car has been carefully stored at a professional facility and checked over regularly by his own mechanic. While in the vendor's care the car has been repainted black (from Aston Martin Celeste Blue). Offered with a V5C Registration Certificate, this has to be one of the best Elites currently available.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1969 Aston Martin DB6 VolanteRegistration no. WYL 121HChassis no. DBVC/3734/R*One of only 140 Mark 1 DB6 Volantes on the long wheelbase*Single enthusiast ownership for over 45 years *Professionally restored in 2018*'As new' condition Footnotes:'I have driven most of the Aston Martin models that have been produced, from the racing twin-cam 1½-litre of the 1920s onwards. For years my favourite has been the DB3S sports-racer, but now my allegiance is wavering. There can be little doubt that the DB6 is the best Aston yet and it is a credit to British engineering.' - John Bolster, Autosport, 21st October 1966.Considered by many to be the last 'real' Aston Martin, the DB6 was launched in 1965, updating the DB5. Although Royal patronage of the marque undoubtedly helped DB6 sales, the car arrived at a difficult time for Aston Martin, with the home economy in a parlous state and the US market subject to ever more restrictive legislation. Though recognisably related to its Touring-styled DB4 ancestor, the DB6 abandoned the underlying Superleggera body structure of its predecessors in favour of a conventional steel fabrication while retaining the aluminium outer panels. Somewhat confusingly, 'Superleggera' badges continued to be applied for a time, presumably until stocks ran out. The wheelbase was now 4' (100mm) 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 reappearance 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 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 ever tested. 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. Premiered at the 1965 London Motor Show, the convertible DB6 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 (8' 2') chassis, the model adopted the longer DB6 chassis in October 1966. The stylish Volante offered four-seat accommodation and was generously appointed with leather upholstery, deep-pile carpets, aircraft-style instrument cluster, and an electrically operated hood. In the summer of 1969 the Mark 2 DB6 was announced in saloon and convertible versions. Distinguishable by its flared wheelarches and DBS wheels, the 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, plus 178 of the long-wheelbase Volante convertibles, 140 of which were to Mark 1 specification. With so few produced, the DB6 Volante is now considered one of the most collectible of all Aston Martins. The sixth from last Mark 1 DB6 Volante built, '3734' was supplied new on 10th October 1969 by H R Owen to Steven Marks, founder of the fashion brand French Connection, who cherished and kept it in his collection for over 45 years. The Volante was delivered new with Borg Warner automatic transmission; power assisted steering; chrome road wheels; three-ear hubcaps; power aerial; and tonneau cover to match the black leather interior. Of the 140 DB6 Mark 1 Volantes made, this is believed to be the only car delivered new in Amethyst. Steven Marks kept the Aston until 2013 when a private collector purchased the car and had it restored a few years later. In 2018, '3734' was treated to a full body-off restoration by renowned marque specialist Nicholas Mee with engine and gearbox works by Ian Mason (Aston Martin Services). A bare-metal re-spray in Amethyst was carried out by Prestige Paintworks, with full paint protection film, and the car remains in truly 'as new' condition. Related invoices are available and the accompanying extensive history file also contains original order forms; various service and repair bills dating back to 1992; a quantity of expired tax discs; and more than 30 MoT certificates dating back to 1975.An exciting opportunity to own a stunning matching-numbers DB6 Volante benefiting from long-term enthusiast ownership and recent professional restoration.

2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante ConvertibleRegistration no. RO06 BOFChassis no. SCFAC02A6GB05600•One of the world's fastest soft-tops•Automatic transmission•Only 48,808 miles from new•Full service history Footnotes:'The Aston Martin DB9 is a thoroughbred sports car with GT levels of comfort and refinement. Combining Aston Martin's unique character with an uncompromising design philosophy, the DB9 was borne out of a synthesis of traditional craftsmanship, high-tech manufacturing, modern components and use of the finest materials.' - Aston Martin.Launched in 2003 as successor to the DB7, the DB9 is historically significant as the first model to be built at Aston Martin's new factory at Gaydon, Warwickshire. Like its predecessor, the DB9 was styled by Ian Callum, with finishing touches applied by Henrik Fisker. State-of-the-art manufacturing techniques were employed in making the aluminium/composite body, which was robotically assembled using a combination of self-piercing rivets and adhesive. Although some 25% lighter than that of the DB7, this advanced bodyshell possesses double the structural stiffness. The DB9 is powered by a development of the 5.9-litre, 48-valve, V12 engine found in the DB7 Vantage, which produces 450bhp, an output sufficient to propel the aerodynamic coupé to a top speed of 305km/h (189mph) with 60mph attainable from a standing start in a neck-snapping 4.6 seconds. The aluminium engine is mounted as far back as possible in the chassis while the transmission/final drive is positioned ahead of the rear axle, resulting in 85% of the car's mass being sited between the axles and a perfect 50/50 front/rear weight distribution. Transmission options are a six-speed manual or six-speed 'Touchtronic 2' Automatic.Inside the DB9 one finds the typically elegant, luxurious and supremely comfortable hand crafted interior traditionally associated with Aston Martin, featuring primarily wood and leather trim as well as the latest in modern technology, subtly deployed. Although scheduled for a slightly higher production level than previous Aston Martins, the DB9 remained an exclusive product affordable only by a privileged few. Its price at launch was £111,000, with the Volante convertible some £14,000 more. This DB9 Volante is finished in Aston Martin Titanium Silver with Phantom Grey leather interior and has the fully automatic transmission. Reflecting careful ownership, it has been serviced at the regulation intervals from delivery up to the present day, there being 14 services recorded, the most recent carried out in March 2020 at 47,508 miles. Described by the vendor as in good working order throughout, this desirable DB9 Volante comes with current MoT, a V5C document, and the aforementioned service records.

1997 Aston Martin V8 Volante LWB ConvertibleRegistration no. not UK registeredChassis no. SCFDAM2C5WBR89005*One of only 64 LWB Volantes made*Automatic transmission*Extensively refurbished between 2005 and 2012*30,819 miles from new*Registered in GermanyFootnotes:Premiered at the London Motor Show in October 1998 was one of the most elegant of modern day Aston Martins: the long-wheelbase Volante convertible. Built on a wheelbase not shared with any other V8 Aston, this longer Volante benefited from a 200mm stretch that increased rear passenger legroom and luggage space. The last production Volantes built at Newport Pagnell, these cars came with a quoted 354bhp on tap; the factory claimed a 0-60mph time of 6.2 seconds and a top speed of over 150mph, making the LWB Volante one of the world's fastest soft-tops. Given the £169,500 asking price, it is perhaps not surprising that by the time production of Aston Martin's long-running V8 ceased in 2000, only 64 of these exclusive, last-of-the-line Volantes had been built compared with 234 of the standard shorter-wheelbase version. This automatic transmission LWB Volante was first registered on 24th January 1998. There are nine invoices on file issued between December 2005 and May 2012, during which period the car underwent a complete repair and maintenance programme covering the engine, transmission, steering, front suspension, brakes, wheels/tyres, chassis, exhaust, bodywork, interior and electrics. As a result, the Volante was in outstanding condition when it was acquired on 30th June 2012 by the next owner, the odometer reading at that time being circa 26,000 miles. The current owner purchased the car at Bonhams' sale at Aston Martin Works in May 2014 (Lot 215) at which time the recorded mileage was circa 27,000. At that time the car was described as in generally excellent condition in every respect and capable of use as an everyday commuter. Since its acquisition in 2014 the car has only been used for holiday driving, covering fewer than 4,000 miles over the last six years (the current odometer reading is 30,819 miles). During that time it has been continuously registered for road use and undergone the technical examination by the German TÜV every two years. The last check was in November 2019 and is valid until 2021. The only expenditure required has been on routine servicing and maintenance, and no problems have been experienced with the car, which has been stored in a heated garage when not in use. Previously registered as 'R173 WWO' in the UK, the Aston comes with the original Virage Volante manual as well as an instruction booklet for the integrated stereo and satellite navigation system. Accompanying documentation consists of the aforementioned invoices and German registration papers. A rare modern Aston Martin destined for future collectible classic status.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NN If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, undertaken by Bonhams upon a successful sale, to facilitate the registration of the machine here in the UK.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Formerly the property of the Sultan of Brunei1997 Ferrari 456 GTA CoupéRegistration no. R394 VRHChassis no. ZFFWP50L0000109951*Delivered new in the UK*Approximately 660 miles from new (see text)*Present ownership since July 2015Footnotes:'The first completely new car from the Modena manufacturer since the 348 of 1990 and arguably the most evocative front-engine coupé since the fabled 365 GTB/4 Daytona of the early '70s. Its ancestors read like a who's who in the Great Book of Grand Touring – 330 GTC, 365 GTC, 365 GTC/4 – and, for good measure, it was the last new project Enzo Ferrari saw before he died in 1988.' – Autocar. Not since the 412's demise in 1989 had Ferrari offered a '2+2', and when the 456 GT debuted at the Paris Salon in October 1992 it was obvious that the long awaited newcomer eclipsed all Maranello's previous four-seat Grand Tourers. Although new from stem to stern, the 456 GT incorporated elements familiar to generations of Ferrari cognoscenti - front-mounted four-cam V12, rear transaxle, tubular steel spaceframe chassis and all-independent suspension - while making an appearance for the first time were electronically-controlled adaptive suspension and a six-speed gearbox. Essentially a de-tuned version of that powering the 550 and 575, the new 5.5-litre V12 unleashed no less than 442bhp at a lowly 6,250rpm yet remained smooth and tractable from idling speed to red-line thanks to its state-of-the-art engine management system. F40 excepted, the 456 was the most powerful road car developed by Ferrari up to that time, yet despite delivering supercar performance this relatively unstressed engine has proven to be very reliable.For the 456, Pininfarina worked its magic once more to create a subtly beautiful curvaceous body contrasting with the hard edges of its predecessor. Although bereft of extraneous aerodynamic devices, the 456 remained stable up to its maximum of around 190mph, a figure that made it the world's fastest production four-seater passenger car. Acclaimed on its debut, the 456's styling has not dated and is a tribute to Pininfarina's farsightedness in creating one of most successful designs of modern times. An air-conditioned interior, sumptuous Connolly leather trim, perfectly weighted power steering, and Porsche-rivalling build quality all combined to make the 456 GT a worthy competitor for Bentley, Aston Martin, and Mercedes-Benz in the luxury Gran Turismo marketplace. An automatic transmission version, known as the 456GT A, became available for 1997 and then two years later the model was given its one-and-only makeover, re-emerging as the subtly restyled and improved 456 GT M (Modificata). Rare and desirable, this automatic transmission Ferrari 456 GTA was delivered new to the UK and then returned to Maranello to have mirror glass and extra-soft leather fitted before being shipped to New Zealand. Used infrequently, the Ferrari returned to the UK in December 2014 with approximately 1,000 kilometres recorded and was re-commissioned by a Ferrari main dealer. A new MPH speedometer was fitted at that time, since when the car has covered only 50 miles. Finished in black metallic with matching interior, this low-mileage Ferrari 456 is offered with five expired MoTs, a V5C document and fresh MoT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
