1970 Aston Martin DB6 Mk2 Vantage 'Fuel Injection' Sports SaloonRegistration no. WOB 200J (See Text)Chassis no. DB6MK2FI/4161/REngine no. 400/4445/FIOdometer reading: 90,843MOT: Exempt *One of only 46 fuel-injected examples made*Extensively upgraded in 2007*Present ownership since 2009Distinguishable 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 Mark 2 production ceased in 1970, a total of 245 had been made, of which only 46 left the factory fitted with the optional fuel injection like this example. Originally an automatic transmission model, '4161/R' was built for the UK market and despatched from the factory on 14th October 1970 to Aston Distributors. Its original colour scheme was Verde Acqua with pigskin interior trim. The current owner purchased the DB6 18th November 2009 from Aston Workshop, which a couple of years earlier had carried out extensive upgrades for the car's then owner, Mr Neal Mercer of Buckinghamshire. Works carried out include enlarging the engine to 4.2 litres capacity and rebuilding it with up-rated camshafts and a special high-performance crankshaft and con-rods, while the cylinder head was ported, gas-flowed and fitted with larger valves at the same time. In addition, the car was fitted with an up-rated water pump and up-rated starter motor, while the cooling system was improved by installing an aluminium radiator. Other aspects receiving attention included the dashboard (lighting upgraded); headlining (renewed); seat belts (added in rear); and the engine bay (tidied up). One of the rarer of the David Brown-era Aston Martins, this DB6 Mark 2 FI is offered with Aston Workshop's bill for £45,289; a (part) V5C document (subject to re-application as the motor car was exported); and a copy of the 2009 sales invoice.This rare and desirable MK2 has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

1972 Aston Martin V8 Series 3 Sports SaloonRegistration no. WEW 297LChassis no. V8/11002/RCAOdometer reading: TBCMOT: N/A*The first production Series 3 car*Desirable manual transmission*Long-term AMOC member ownership 1983-2011Introduced for 1973, the Series 3 version of Aston Martin's V8 employed a quartet of Weber 42 DCNF carburettors instead of the previous Bosch mechanical fuel injection. Fuel economy improved and even in automatic-transmission form the Weber-equipped car proved almost as quick as the preceding manual version, being capable of over 145mph flat-out. Originally finished in Imperial Blue with off-white interior trim, '11002 is historically significant as the first of the Series 3 V8s, and was first registered to Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd as recorded in the accompanying despatch records copy. For the majority of its life, '11002' belonged to AMOC member David Boyd of Southampton, its custodian from 1983 to 2011. The first private owner was Icknield Way Farm Limited of Dunstable. In November 1977, ownership passed to Brian Cawley, also of Dunstable. There then followed a succession of ownership and registration changes before the Aston was acquired by Mr Boyd in December 1983 (see documentation on file). Servicing and maintenance undertaken during Mr Boyd's ownership are listed together with MoT history, the mileage total in February 2011 being recorded as 50,987. Latterly the car was SORN'd and used sparingly, covering fewer than 1,000 miles between 1997 and 2011. The current owner purchased '11002' from well-known Aston Martin brokers Byron International in June 2011; a copy of the sales invoice is on file and the car also comes with its last UK V5C Registration Certificate. There is also an interesting letter from Aston Martin's Roger Stowers concerning the engine number. The V8 has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

1977 Aston Martin V8 Series 3 Sports SaloonRegistration no. Not UK RegisteredChassis no. V8/11580/RCAEngine no. V540/1580Odometer reading: 36,839MOT: Exempt *Automatic transmission*Numerous factory options*Present ownership since 2010Introduced for 1973, the Series 3 version of Aston Martin's V8 employed a quartet of Weber 42 DCNF carburettors instead of the previous Bosch mechanical fuel injection. Fuel economy improved and even in automatic-transmission form the Weber-equipped car proved almost as quick as the preceding manual version, being capable of over 145mph flat-out. Originally finished in Rolls-Royce Regency Bronze with fawn interior trim, '11580' was despatched from the factory on 18th January 1977 bound for Aston Martin (Sales) Ltd. Copies of factory records on file reveal that the car was equipped with automatic transmission; two door mirrors; lockable centre armrest; over-riders; Philips AM/FM stereo radio/cassette; side repeater flashers; side marker lights; and two QI fog lamps, while the paint finish is described as 'non-standard'. The Aston's first owner is recorded as Ahmed Abdulla Abdelghani of London, and the original registration as 'PYN 178R'. Later in its life the Aston was registered 'UKE 313R'. The next earliest ownership record extant is a photocopy of a UK V5 dating from March 1998 (by which time the registration had changed to 'UKV 484R') when the car was acquired by Yarnolds of Stratford. The previous owner is listed as one Nicholas Seddon of Oxfordshire (from September 1995). In October 2001 the car was registered as 'J 96996' in Jersey, Channel Islands to Mr Geoffrey Hollyhead (copy Vehicle Registration Document on file). The current vendor purchased '11580' from Mr Hollyhead via Le Riche Automobile (CI) Ltd in May 2010 (bill of sale copy available).

DB6/3131/REngine no. 400/3188Odometer reading: 8,054MOT: Exempt *Automatic transmission*An older restoration*Present ownership since 2008This automatic transmission DB6 was originally finished in Sierra Blue with natural leather interior and left the factory equipped with the following: power steering; chrome road wheels; heated rear screen; two safety belts; power aerial and the 3.54:1 limited-slip differential. From June 1990 to November 1992, it was registered to one Bertie Pearl of Perthshire and carried the registration number '640 BP'. A letter on file from Mr Colin Gilburt (dated 30th October 1992) contains details of a full restoration undertaken by Mr Gilburt's company, Thoroughbred Cars (Edinburgh) Ltd, which included rebuilds of the engine, torque converter and automatic gearbox; chassis and bodywork repairs; re-spray and re-trim; braking system overhaul; and various other works. The cost is stated as in excess of £35,000. The car was purchased by the immediately preceding owner Stephen Morgan on 23rd November 1992 and the registration mark changed to 'HSR 688E'. In September 1998 Five Oaks Garage in Jersey undertook a brake overhaul, while the fuel tank was removed and reconditioned and carburettor repairs carried out. Further servicing and maintenance was entrusted to Brewery Motors of Farndon, near Chester. The current owner purchased the DB6 at Bonhams' Goodwood Revival sale in September 2008 (Lot 368). Accompanying paperwork includes the aforementioned documents; a quantity of expired MoTs; and a V5C Registration Certificate (as the car had been exported, an application to retain the number will be required).

2001 ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH COUPÉRegistration no. LJ51NCSChassis no. SCFAC23321B500052Odometer reading: 10,860kmsMOT: 4/01/2022*Built to Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) specification*Imported into the UK in 2020*Fully serviced by Aston MartinAn entirely new Aston Martin for the 21st Century, the V12-engined Vanquish coupé debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2001. Aston Martin's first power unit of its type, the 5.9-litre, 48-valve, V12 engine (first seen in the DB7 V12 Vantage) developed 460bhp at 6,800rpm, with 400lb/ft of torque available at 5,500 revs.The six-speed gearbox was controlled by F1-style paddles and could be operated in either of two modes: fully manual or computer-controlled automatic, with a 'sport' setting available on both. The inventory of standard equipment included almost everything the discerning connoisseur could wish for, while the performance - 190mph and 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds – placed the Vanquish firmly in the supercar class. Dominated by an imposing aluminium centre console, the interior featured Connolly leather upholstery and Wilton carpeting, emphasising the Aston Martin heritage, for despite its advanced specification, the Vanquish was built like all other Astons before it: one at a time and by hand.Built to Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) specification, this left-hand drive Vanquish was purchased by the vendor in Lebanon and imported into the UK in 2020. Finished in black with Forest Green leather interior, the car has been fully serviced by Aston Martin and remains in excellent original condition. Service records for the period August 2004 to November 2017 are available and the car also comes with a UK V5C registration document.Footnotes:Vendor Score Total: 98 /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.

TBCOdometer reading: 92,721MOT: Exempt *Long-term AMOC member ownership 1967-2010*Automatic transmission*Present ownership since 2010'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. An automatic transmission model, '3309/R' left the Newport Pagnell factory finished in Pacific Blue with natural Connolly leather trim The guarantee form lists the following items of non-standard equipment: power assisted steering; chrome road wheels; heated rear screen; 3-ear hubcaps; power aerial; and lap/diagonal safety belts. One S I Phillips Esq is recorded as the purchaser, but accompanying registration documents show that the DB6 was in fact first registered as 'SYE 12F' on 18th December 1967 to Denis McEwan of Somerset, an AMOC member. The Aston would remain in the McEwan family's ownership for at least the next 41 years, passing to his wife in March 2008. The current vendor purchased the car from well-respected Aston Martin specialist Keith Riddington's company Classicmobilia on 10th July 2010. 'SYE 12F' comes with a good history file containing sundry bills (many from marque specialists Aston Service Dorset); (part) V5C registration document (for which an application will be required to re-patriate the number as the motor car had been exported); SORN paperwork; a copy of the 2010 purchase invoice; and a substantial quantity of MoTs dating back to the 1980s.This DB6 has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use.

Originally registered 'JLO 16K' in the UK, it was purchased by the current vendor in February 1994 and since then has been registered in the Isle of Man. The Aston had been advertised for sale in Classic & Sports Car magazine's February 1994 edition by its third owner following an extensive professional refurbishment. Test driven by C&SC, the DBS was described at the time as 'one of the most solid, honest Aston Martins you'll find at the price'.

Registration: S701 CTCChassis No: TTBLN29969708MOT: Oct 2022Extremely rare 'gentleman's express', believed to be one of between 6-10 madeTwo registered keepers from new (the current since it was a year old)Returned to Bristol for servicing throughout its life with evidence of a recent automatic gearbox overhaul and new brakes “The Blenheim model is a four-seat coupe that blends discrete looks, ample performance and a sumptuous, handcrafted interior to create a unique motoring experience that has more than a hint of nostalgia about it. Borrowing technology from aircraft construction Bristols appeal to a small band of wealthy customers wanting beautifully engineered and packaged vehicles with continent crossing ability” (Auto Express, 29th December 2006)Named after one of its former parent company’s fighter aircraft, the Bristol Blenheim was unveiled in September 1993. Priced from £110,000, it may have been a left-field choice when compared to other British handbuilt grand tourers such as the Aston Martin Virage or Bentley Continental R but there were still those who valued its narrow track (useful when negotiating London traffic or country lanes) and unmatched visibility. Mounted behind the front axle line for handling balance, the staple Chrysler 5.9 litre V8 benefited from the adoption of electronic manifold fuel injection and was allied to a more sophisticated four-speed automatic gearbox. Criticisms as to the Bristol’s overly ornate radiator grille and pebble-sized headlights were addressed with the arrival of the Blenheim 2 in January 1998 which also boasted a reduced turning circle, power boost and reputed 150mph top speed. Only in ‘production’ for eighteen months or so, it is estimated that between six and ten Blenheim 2 cars were made with Bristol losing money on each one!Resident at an imposing Northamptonshire house, the first owner of chassis TTBLN29969708 part-exchanged a Bristol Brigand in order to obtain it. His successor, the managing director of a world-famous investment bank, acquired the four-seater when it was just over a year old. Relocating to London’s Holland Park, the Blenheim 2 was lavishly maintained. Returned to its maker several times a year if the need arose, the car boasts a full Bristol Service History up to 86,000 miles (the odometer currently reads c.92,000). The last major invoice on file totalled £8,436.23 and was issued on December 12th 2019 (though, annual expenditure exceeded £6,000 in 2017 and 2018 too). A striking looking machine finished in Brabazon Grey with Magnolia leather upholstery, ‘S701 CTC’ is understood to draw a crowd wherever it goes which is perhaps unsurprising given its rarity. Said to be in rude mechanical health with evidence of a recent automatic gearbox overhaul and replacement brakes, the Blenheim 2 has a few cosmetic blemishes typical of a London car. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, supplying invoice, MOT certificate valid until October 2022 and ‘a good half inch of service history’.Footnote: PLEASE NOTE: We have been informed that it was the second owner (and not the first) who part-exchanged a Brigand as part of his purchase with the Blenheim costing him £100,155 in December 1999.PLEASE NOTE: This lot is accompanied by an old-style V5 Registration Document. The vendor is hopeful of finding the current V5C Registration Document but if he cannot then a new owner will have to apply for a fresh one.

Registration: YL05 YNJChassis No: SCFAC01A45GA03361MOT: January 2022Aston Martin DB9 presented in Titanium Silver with Falcon Grey and Obsidian Black interiorOffered with just c.25,000 miles from new and 4 former keepersBoasts specification including parking sensors, 19 inch 15 spoke wheels, desirable Michelin Pilot Sports 4S tyres and serviced in August this year First shown by Aston Martin at the 2003 Frankfurt Auto Show. Available both in coupé and a convertible bodystyles, the latter being known as the Volante, the DB9 was the successor of the DB7 and was the first car to be built in Aston Martin’s new factory at Gaydon in Warwickshire. The new car was considered to be such an advance on the old that Aston Martin had decided a straightforward sequential numbering would be considered inappropriate, hence why it was not titled DB8. Its bodyshell weighed 25 per cent less yet had twice the torsional rigidity, thanks to its aluminium bonnet, roof and rear wings and composite construction front wings and boot lid. The vehicle was powered by the 5.9-litre V12 used in the Vanquish, which generated 450hp, propelled the car from 0 to 60mph in 4.7 seconds and generated a top speed of 186mph. The engine largely sat behind the front-axle line to improve weight distribution, and its great handling resulted in the DB9 being adapted for use in sports car racing by Aston Martin Racing, a collaboration between Aston Martin and Prodrive. Called the DBR9, the car won in its debut at the 2005 12 Hours of Sebring, and has gone on to take wins in the American Le Mans Series, Le Mans Series, FIA GT Championship, as well as the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Indisputably one of the most beautiful cars ever designed, BBC Top Gear gave the DB9 its own section on their ‘Cool Wall’ after Jeremy Clarkson declared that it was too cool even to be classified as "Sub-Zero". Manufactured in 2005 and presented in the desirable Titanium Silver with Falcon Grey and Obsidian Black interior, YL05 YNJ is offered with just c.25,000 miles from new and shows 4 former keepers on the V5 document. Boasting factory options including piano black waterfall, heated front screen, parking sensors and 19 inch 15 spoke wheels, as well as desirable Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres, YL05 YNJ was recently subject to a healthcare check at HR Owen Aston Martin Cheltenham and comes accompanied with the original logbook containing 8 Aston Martin main dealer stamps, with the most recent in August 2021. The vehicle also comes accompanied with a number of receipts and invoices, as well as an MOT certificate valid until 17 January 2022. The vendor rates the condition of the vehicle as Very Good all round. PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle has a slight vibration under braking and is showing an emissions service light on the dashboard.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Andreas Hicksandreas.hicks@handh.co.uk07943584762

Registration: OU08 BGKChassis No: SCFBE04B78GD10434MOT: September 2022Desirable facelift V8 Vantage Roadster presented in Onyx Black with matching Obsidian Black leather interiorBoasts desirable factory options including Bluetooth, cruise control, Aston Martin Premium Audio, heated memory seats and powerfold memory mirrorsOffered with just 67,000 miles and 4 former keepers Following the unveiling of the AMV8 Vantage concept car in 2003 at the North American International Auto Show, the production version, known as the V8 Vantage was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 2005 for the 2006 model year. Featuring bonded aluminium structure for strength and lightness, the V8 Vantage was initially powered by a 4.3-litre quad-cam 32-valve V8 which produced 380 bhp and propelled the car to 60mph in just 4.9 seconds, with a top speed of 175mph and benefited from a 49/51 front/rear weight distribution due to its front mid mounted engine with rear mounted transaxle. Later in 2006, Aston introduced their automated manual gearbox option, the sportshift. Sportshift added electro-hydraulic control to the existing Vantage 6-speed manual gearbox to offer improved shift times and replaced the conventional manual gear lever with push button controls and paddles on the steering wheel. The Vantage was an immediate success. Some estimate by the time the car was first shown, some dealers had as much as a three year waiting list and the car was one of only two cars added to BBC Top Gear’s ‘DB9 Section’ mini fridge, reserved for cars even cooler than ‘Sub Zero’. The car would later go on to receive Jeremy Clarkson’s 2005 Best Sounding Car of the Year, and Coolest Car of the Year. Nowadays, the V8 Vantage is still considered one of the best looking cars of all time and has become an undisputed modern classic, with values rising over the past 12 months. Manufactured in 2008 and presented in Onyx black with matching Obsydian black interior ft. silver stitching, OU08 BGK benefits from being a more desirable roadster and features the much loved sportshift gearbox. Showing just c. 67,000 miles with 4 former keepers on the v5 document, this particular example boasts desirable factory options including Bluetooth, cruise control, Aston Martin Premium Audio, heated memory seats and powerfold memory mirrors.Included with the vehicle are a number of documents including the original handbook, which includes two Aston Martin service stamps, as well as a number of folders containing invoices for other services and works carried out. OU08 BGK also comes accompanied with original tracker fobs and the vendor rates the car as ‘Very Good’ all round.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Andreas Hicksandreas.hicks@handh.co.uk07943584762

Registration No: NUV 944 Chassis No: LML/50/393 MOT: Oct 2022“It would appear that every so often the gods pass over some Works or another and with an inclination of the head inspire the production of a car with outstanding virtues. The Aston Martin DB2 stands worthy in the pedigree of real motor cars stretching back through the 4½ Litre Bentley to the 30/98 Vauxhall” (Lawrence Pomeroy, The Motor, October 1950)According to its accompanying copy factory records, chassis LML/50/393 was originally finished in Black with Red upholstery. Notable for being among the last twenty of just 411 DB2 cars made, its specification included the more powerful ‘Vantage’ specification 2.6 litre DOHC straight-six engine (number VB6E/50/1221). Bearing the London registration number ‘NUV 944’, the two-seater was supplied new via Aston Martin concessionaire Brooklands of Bond Street to Ian Scott Duffus Esq of Old Place Farm, Mayfield Sussex. A successful businessman, Mr Duffus is believed to have been a scion of the Scottish shipping dynasty and to have garnered a degree of media coverage for building a private funicular railway to access his subsequent clifftop home in Devon. Returning to the factory for routine maintenance until November 1957, the DB2 relocated to the Midlands passing through the hands of Philip Scofield Esq., M.J.A. Hill Esq. and Queen’s Park Garage Ltd of Harborne before being acquired by William Ward Esq in February 1964. Taxation stamps in the continuation buff logbook on file indicate that Mr Ward took the Aston Martin off the road during 1965. Dormant for the next twenty years, ‘NUV 944’ was then sold to Keith Sampson who embarked upon a meticulous body off, chassis up mechanical and cosmetic restoration. Completed by February 23rd 1995 when the car passed its first recorded MOT test with ten miles on the clock, the work was documented via a photo album and handwritten log with the body accounting for some 560 hours alone. A luminary of the Sunbeam Tiger Owners’ Club and proprietor of the Sunbeam Spares Company, Mr Hampson was no stranger to classic cars. With plenty of other machinery to choose from, he covered a mere 1,700 miles or so behind the wheel of ‘NUV 944’ during his twenty-three years’ tenure. Thereafter, it passed to renowned Aston Martin collector Anthony Moody who added a further 600 or so miles to the odometer up until 2012 when he asked Philp Jones of Byron International to broker a sale on his behalf. Drawn to the Byron International advertisement which described it thus: ‘LML/50/393 is believed to be one of the finest examples available. The combination of its condition after several thousand hours of restoration work, a well-documented history of long-term careful ownership, and very desirable specification make it a highly sought-after acquisition for any serious collector or enthusiast’, the vendor commissioned a pre-purchase report from Chris Adams of the respected Feltham Aston Martin specialist Four Ashes Garage. Mr Adams’ conclusions were as follows: ‘This car has been superbly restored . . . it was restored by non-AM specialists when information was difficult to find . . . It is hard to fault the basic restoration, a body off full restoration before this became commonplace with body, paint and trim almost concours level. The engine problems are easy to fix but will cost a lot of money, caused by lack of basic product knowledge’. Intending to use the DB2 for historic rallying and trials, the seller negotiated a modest discount and despatched it to Four Ashes for a thorough engine reworking plus attention to the brakes, steering, suspension, gearbox, wiring and rear axle. As well as having various new internals fitted and being converted to run on unleaded fuel, the 2.6 litre DOHC straight-six benefited from Four Ashes’ expertise with regards to compression ratios, camshaft timing, ignition timing etc. The result according to a dyno sheet from Mass Racing was an impressive 169bhp and 163.8lbft of torque (an impressive thirty-five percent increase in power over a standard ‘Vantage’ unit and more than Jaguar initially quoted for its contemporaneous 3.4 litre XK engine). The gearbox was overhauled with new synchromesh cones and bearings. The steering was rejuvenated too and upgraded with variable electric power assistance. A rear damper conversion was complemented by a heavy-duty front anti-roll bar, reconditioned front dampers and lower / stiffer springs all round. The rear axle gained a Quaife partial locking differential, the flywheel was lightened / balanced and a new clutch installed. The electrics were converted to negative earth with other concessions to modernity encompassing an uprated alloy radiator, Kenlowe fan, stainless steel exhaust and K&N air filters. Completed in time to participate in the June 2013 Three Castles Rally, the ‘breathed on’ DB2 duly won its class and was subsequently invited to appear on the Aston Martin Owners’ Club stand at that year’s NEC Classic Car Show. ‘NUV 944’ also contested the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Three Castle Rallies as well as taking class honours on the 2016 Scottish Malts Rally. The two-seater was granted a FIVA Identity Card in 2017 as the vendor toyed with the idea of contesting the Mille Miglia Storica. In the end his other motoring commitments (mainly Maserati) put pay to such plans. Nonetheless, he continued spending money on the DB2 switching its upkeep to Aston Engineering of Derby. In addition to routine servicing, the latter overhauled the brakes in 2019 and fettled the gearbox during 2020. The seller tells us that he has spent over £100,000 improving and maintaining ‘NUV 944’ and it certainly comes with an impressive history file. Advertised for sale at £259,995 two years ago, the Aston Martin was reviewed and road tested by Classic Cars magazine’s Paul Hardiman who commented as follows: ‘This is an older restoration, but the workmanship is lasting so well it’s hard to tell ... It starts easily, goes well, and as you’d hope at this money, is a fully sorted car that’s very pleasant to drive. DBs of this vintage can be crude old things, but this is about as good as they get ... When tired DB2/4s can be bought at auction for not much more than £100k, this might look pricey at first glance, but it is the earlier, rarer, more elegant (and Mille Miglia eligible) model that couldn’t be replicated to this near-perfect standard for the price’. We believe the modifications have been sympathetically carried out and greatly enhance the driving experience and usability. However, they are all reversible should a new owner so wish. The engine timing cover is clearly stamped with the number ‘VB6E/50/1221’ and the unit started readily and sounded well during our recent photography session. The odometer displays 13,500 miles (11,000 or so accrued by the vendor). Put simply, this is a good car from a good home and worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with large history file and ‘no advisories’ MOT certificate valid until October 2022.Footnote: For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

1967 Aston Martin DB6 Sports SaloonRegistration no. CVG 244F (not registered with DVLA)Chassis no. DB6/3225/ROffered without reserve•Automatic Transmission•Original colour combination•Long-term AMOC member ownership (1985-2011)•Present ownership since 2011Footnotes:'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. Last-of-the-line models are always sought after by discerning collectors, and few are more highly prized that the final flowering of the glorious 'David Brown' six-cylinder series. 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 had been introduced in 1965, updating the DB5. Although recognisably related to the Touring-styled DB4 of 1958, the DB6 abandoned the Carrozzeria Touring-developed Superleggera tubular body supporting 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 by the bodyshop until stocks ran out!Increased rear-seat space was the prime DB6 objective so the wheelbase was now 3¾' 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. 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, 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.The accompanying (copy) guarantee form shows that '3225/R' was delivered new via Broadway Autos to Grants Plastics Ltd of London W2 and was first registered as 'PMT 321F'. The DB6 was finished in Dubonnet Rosso with black leather interior, and left the Newport Pagnell factory equipped with automatic transmission; power steering; heated rear screen; chrome road wheels; 3-ear hubcaps; and front safety belts. The only other ownership record on file is a copy of the car's most recent V5C showing Mr Michael John Collins (an AMOC member) as registered keeper (from 12th March 1985) and before him a Mr Brian Cook of Glasgow. The current owner purchased the Aston at a UK auction in October 2011, at which time it was stated that it had covered a believed-genuine (but not warranted) 51,997 miles. Furthermore, the car was said to have had various works carried out shortly after its acquisition by Mr Collins (re-spray; new fuel pumps; front shock absorbers replaced; brake discs skimmed; brake callipers overhauled; new jacking points; new non-ferrous brake pipes). The DB6 was also understood to have been kept garaged and to have covered a mere 9,000 miles over the course of the preceding 26 years and, earlier in 2011, had completed a 250-mile round trip.Accompanying documentation consists of copies of the 2011 purchase invoice, aforementioned build details, and now expired V5C.

The ex-London Motor Show1961 Aston Martin Lagonda Rapide SaloonRegistration no. Not UK RegisteredChassis no. LR/105/ROffered without reserve•Retained by the factory as a demonstrator and development car•Known ownership history•Factory-fitted DB6 engine•Automatic transmissionFootnotes:'It has long been my ambition to produce a car which would be equally suitable to drive or to be driven in, great comfort, large luggage carrying capacity yet still be exhilarating to the owner driver and capable of effortless sustained high performance. There is such similarity between modern cars that one is fearful of the day when all will look, and be, alike.' - David Brown on the Lagonda Rapide.Aston Martin revived the famous Lagonda name in 1961 with a luxurious four-door sports saloon – the Rapide – that took its appellation from one of the marque's most exalted models of the late 1930s. It had been David Brown's intention that the Rapide should be the 'most mechanically advanced car available', offering effortless acceleration to 130mph. Beneath the Rapide's Superleggera aluminium coachwork (by Touring of Milan, the carrozzeria responsible for the Aston Martin DB4 sports car) was a lengthened (by 16') DB4 platform-type chassis reconfigured to accept De Dion rear suspension, the adoption of which allowed rear compartment space to be maximised. Powered by a 4.0-litre (236bhp) version of the Aston Martin DB4's twin-cam 'six' that would later power the DB5 and DB6, the Rapide certainly lived up to its name with brisk acceleration and a 130mph-plus top speed. Dual circuit, servo assisted disc brakes restrained this excellent performance, while fittings to the traditional interior included electric windows, picnic tables to the rear, filler cap remote opener, and a radio as standard. The Rapide's price when new was £5,000, some 25% higher than that of the Aston Martin DB4, which itself was not exactly a cheap automobile. A mere 55 units, almost all of which were equipped with Borg Warner three-speed automatic transmission, were built before production ceased in 1964. Today, 47 of the original 55 Rapides are known, 'LR/105/R' being the fifth built. Displayed at the 1961 London Motor Show and kept by the factory as a demonstrator and development car, '105/R' was first registered to Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd (as '92 MY') on 11th October 1961. Its original colour scheme was Dubonnet with fawn leather interior trim. On 10th December 1962 the car was registered to David Brown Tractors Ltd followed by AML Ltd (for the second time) on 7th February 1967. Later that same year the Lagonda was registered to its first private owner, Thomas Crumbie of Leicester. Mr Crumbie was followed by Cavendish Press Ltd of Leicester and then Peter Biggs of Cambridgeshire, who is the previous keeper listed on the accompanying V5C document (please note that, as the car was subsequently exported, an application will need to be made to retain the registration number). Registered to Desmond J Smail Ltd, '105/R' was sold by them to the current vendor in November 2010. Copies of factory paperwork on file record the fact that the engine (originally '400/105') has been changed twice by the factory, the unit currently fitted ('400/1655') being that of a DB6, as is the Borg Warner Type 8 automatic gearbox. Interestingly, the AMOC Register states that '105/R' was treated to a modified front end and changed from a De Dion to a 'beam' rear axle by the factory, and that it is the only example of the proposed Mark 2 series. Its provenance and unusual specification make 'LR/105/R' an extremely interesting and significant example of this rare and wonderful car, which was the personal project of David Brown himself. The Rapide has been on static display for a number of years and will require recommissioning prior to road use.

1965 Aston Martin DB5 4.2-Litre Sports SaloonRegistration no. GPA 655CChassis no. DB5/1845/R•Matching numbers•Only four owners from new•Professionally restored from 'barn find' condition 2014-2018•Concours condition•The most famous of all 'James Bond' Aston MartinsFootnotes:'Racing has played a major part in the development of all Aston Martin engines since Frank Halford designed the original 1.5-litre unit for Bamford & Martin. The 3,995cc 6-cylinder light alloy engine fitted to the DB5 is in all major respects the same as that which powered the 4-litre prototype which ran in the 1962 and 1963 Le Mans 24-Hour races.' – Autocar, 21st May 1965.Aston Martin's post-war evolution had taken a giant step forward in 1958 with the launch of the DB4. Classically proportioned, the Touring-designed body established an instantly recognisable look that would stand the marque in good stead until 1970 and is still being referenced in today's Aston Martins. 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 co-designed by 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 supporting framework of light-gauge steel tubes. Although styled by Touring, the DB4's gorgeous fastback coachwork was built under license at Newport Pagnell by Aston Martin, 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'. When the DB4 was introduced, it was Britain's most powerful and fastest production car, and its aerodynamically styled, all-aluminium, Superleggera coachwork looked sensational, establishing a look that would endure for the next dozen years. Touring's Superleggera body construction had been deemed incompatible with the DB2/4-type multi-tubular spaceframe, so engineer Harold Beach drew up an immensely strong platform type chassis for the DB4. The DB2/4's trailing-link independent front suspension gave way to unequal-length wishbones while at the rear the DB4 sported a live axle located by a Watts linkage instead of its predecessor's Panhard rod. The Aston Martin DB4 was also the first of the DB models to employ the entirely new engine designed by Tadek Marek, which had first been seen at Le Mans the previous year in the DBR2. A Polish engineer who had joined the company in 1954, Marek had previously enjoyed a racing career and posts with General Motors and FIAT in Poland. He had designed tanks during WW2 and had arrived at Newport Pagnell from Austin. An all-alloy, twin-overhead-camshaft six like its predecessor, Marek's new 3,670cc engine featured 'square' bore and stroke dimensions of 92mm and developed its maximum power of 240bhp at 5,500rpm. The David Brown gearbox was a new four-speed all-synchromesh unit.Five (unofficially designated) series were built as the model gradually metamorphosed into the DB5. Introduced in July 1963, the Aston Martin DB5 boasted a 4.0-litre engine, this enlarged unit having been seen first in the Lagonda Rapide of 1961. Equipped with three SU carburettors, the '400' engine produced 282bhp at 5,500rpm and was mated to a four-speed/overdrive gearbox, a 'proper' ZF five-speed unit being standardised later. The DB5's distinctive cowled headlamps had first appeared on the DB4GT and the newcomer was the same size as the lengthened, 'Series V' DB4. Outwardly there was little to distinguish the DB5 from the last of the DB4s apart from twin fuel filler caps, though these had already appeared on some cars. Beneath the skin, however, there were numerous improvements including alternator electrics; Girling disc brakes instead of Dunlops; Sundym glass; electric windows; and an oil pressure gauge as standard equipment. From September 1964 the 314bhp, triple-Weber Vantage engine became available and was fitted to a total of 95 cars. The DB5 was also offered in convertible form (the 'Volante' name would not be applied to the soft-top Aston until the DB6's arrival), while independent coachbuilder Harold Radford offered a shooting brake conversion. 1,021 DB5s were manufactured between July 1963 and September 1965, a total that included 123 convertibles and 12 shooting brakes. The DB5 was the first and remains the most famous of all the 'James Bond' Aston Martins, having appeared in no fewer than five movies of the series beginning with Goldfinger in 1964. Equipped with rocket launchers and sundry other gadgets, 007's DB5 was finished in Silver Birch with red interior, in which specification it was later issued by Corgi Toys. This matching-numbers DB5 has had only four owners from new. The Aston spent 32 years off the road before being rescued as a 'barn find' some seven years ago. It was then treated to a body-off, chassis-upwards, full restoration by renowned marque specialist Rikki Cann, which took four years to complete and included rebuilding the engine to 4.2 litres capacity. The restoration cost almost £400,000 and is fully documented by invoices and photographs. Finished in its original exterior colour of Dubonnet Rosso, with Magnolia hide trim, and described by the private vendor as in concours condition throughout, 'GPA 655C' represents a wonderful opportunity to own what for many enthusiasts is the ultimate Aston Martin.

1995 Aston Martin Vantage CoupéRegistration no. Not UK RegisteredChassis no. 070109Offered without reserve•Built for the Belgian market•Left-hand drive•Desirable manual transmission•Formerly UK registered •Low mileage recordedFootnotes:'Brutal' was a word used more than once to describe the fastest Aston Martin ever on its introduction in 1992, but as the Vantage had no less than 550bhp available to propel its two tons, the choice can only be judged fair comment. A consummate fast tourer, the Virage left room at the top of the range for an out-and-out sportscar, hence the Vantage. Although the two models appear superficially similar few panels are shared, and beneath the skin the Vantage chassis boasts the kind of extensive re-engineering required to cope with the massive increase in performance. The latter comes courtesy of a blown version of Aston's 5,340cc V8, twin mechanically driven Eaton superchargers being preferred to turbo-charging on the grounds of superior throttle response. Quite apart from its stupendous maximum output, remarkable enough in itself, the engine is monstrously torquey, producing 550lb/ft at 4,000rpm, a figure that makes even the mighty Chrysler Viper V10's 450lb/ft seem puny by way of comparison and the ZF manual gearbox's six-speeds an unnecessary luxury.On test with Autocar magazine, a development Vantage raced to 60mph in a Ferrari 512TR-destroying 4.6 seconds, reaching the 'ton' just 5.5 seconds later. Autocar summed up the Vantage as, 'a real Aston Martin; a big, very beautiful, very fast, albeit expensive GT with so much appeal and purpose behind it that it is more an experience than it is mere transport'.A desirable manual transmission model, left-hand drive chassis number '070109' was built for the Belgian market and originally finished in Rolls-Royce Royal Blue with Parchment leather interior. The car was first registered in the UK (incorrectly as a 'Virage Vantage') on 1st August 2003 and MoT'ed in 2005 at 10,127 miles. The vendor acquired the Vantage from marque specialist Desmond Smail in May 2008, at which time it was stated that it had been owned by 'King Fahd Bin Abdula Aziz' (sic) presumed to be HRH King Fahd bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia.

1979 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Sports SaloonRegistration no. Not UK RegisteredChassis no. V8/VOR/12194Offered without reserve•Factory-fitted automatic transmission•Used by AML Ltd director Peter Cadbury•Correct Tourmaline Blue paintworkFootnotes:With the resurrection of the 'Vantage' name in 1977, Aston Martin enthusiasts everywhere breathed a sigh of relief; previously applied to high-power versions of the DB six-cylinder cars, it had been dormant since the V8's arrival back in 1969. A heavier car than its six-cylinder predecessor, the V8 suffered as emissions legislation became ever more strangulating, leading to concern that Aston Martin's traditional performance image might be lost. The arrival of the Vantage dispelled any such worries. Propelling Aston's V8 back into the supercar league was a tuned version of the existing 5,340cc engine breathing through a quartet of 48mm Weber carburettors rather than the standard 42mm instruments. Valves and ports were enlarged and the camshafts changed, the end result being an estimated maximum output of around 375-380bhp - in Rolls-Royce fashion the factory chose not to disclose the actual figure, merely claiming that power was 'adequate'. In 1978 the V8 Vantage earned the title of 'world's fastest accelerating production car' and throughout its life delivered outstanding performance by any standard, accelerating to 60mph in just 5.2 seconds on its way to a top speed of 175mph. With such high speeds attainable, aerodynamic refinements were called for. Thus the Vantage gained a deep front 'chin' spoiler, blanked off front grille and a boot lid spoiler, the latter being bolted on to the earliest cars and later integrated into the bodywork. There were commensurate improvements to the suspension, brakes and tyres. Its accompanying copy Car Record Card confirms that this home-market V8 Vantage was despatched from Aston Martin's Newport Pagnell works on 12th November 1979 finished in Tourmaline Blue with Fawn leather interior trim. Notable factory features included a wood interior to V8 saloon specification; two detachable headrests; two Rearguard fog lamps; a Blaupunkt Bamberg stereo radio/cassette; and no front grille blanking plate. The current owner purchased the Vantage at Bonhams' Beaulieu sale in September 2011 (Lot 518). At that time we made the following statements: 'Copies of subsequent correspondence with the vehicle also confirm that V8/VOR/12194 was then converted by the Works Service Department from manual to automatic transmission for Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd director Peter Cadbury – one of only three such conversions believed to have been undertaken by Works Service at the time and a full 6 years before automatic transmission was officially offered on this model. Later enhancements include a deep front spoiler, Ronal alloys, a new steering wheel and a Vanquish-style starter button.''Stamped vouchers in the Service Booklet record services carried out at regular intervals by AML and AVJ from July 1980 at 1695m to October 1990 at 52,695m. More recent services have been undertaken by marque specialists Runnymede (in) September 2005 at 64,445m and by Nicholas Mee (in) November 2006 at 70,140m. While receipts on file detail further work carried out by the workshops of Lincoln Scott, HWM, Waterside Classics and Nicholas Mee including replacement sills 2003, full re-trim in cream hide piped in blue 2005, replacement air-conditioning 2006 and new brake discs 2007. The total mileage of 73,044 displayed when entered is also confirmed by readings from 19 MoTs dating back to 1987/8, the latest being valid until December, while 20 previous tax discs are also present as are a 1978/9 sales leaflet and price list.'Unfortunately, all of the aforementioned documentation is no longer with the car, apart from an old-style UK V5C Registration Certificate.

1970 Aston Martin DB6 Mark 2 Vantage Sports SaloonRegistration no. Not UK RegisteredChassis no. DB6 MK2/4241/ROffered without reserve•One of 71 DB6 Mark 2 Vantages•Long-term AMOC member ownership (1974-2012)•One of only three DB6 Mark 2s in Bahama Yellow•Featured in the factory's Millennium Calendar, 'A Celebration of Craftsmanship'Footnotes: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 '4241/R' is one of only three DB6 Mark 2s originally finished in Bahama Yellow and the only example to have the high-performance Vantage engine. The Aston was first registered (as 'UKX 644J') on 1st December 1970 and retailed by Maurice Leo Ltd. In July 1974 the DB6 was acquired by AMOC members Mr & Mrs Ian Moore of Middlesex (also owners of a DB6 Mark 1), who would remain its custodians for the next 38 years. The Moores had purchased 'UKX 644J' from sometime Wiscombe Park competitor and commentator C A R Elwell, the first owner's son-in-law. Thereafter the Aston was used sparingly, seldom, if ever, venturing out in the rain. The current owner purchased 'UKX 644J' via a UK auction in April 2012, by which time the car had covered only some 38,800 (warranted) miles from new. At that time the DB6 was described as 'never allowed to deteriorate to the point of needing restoration', while its exceptionally original 'time warp' condition (paintwork, upholstery and major mechanical components) was also commented on favourably (2012 catalogue description on file). The engine was said to start readily and show over 100psi oil pressure when warm. A measure of this DB6's then exceptional quality may be gained from the fact that Aston Martin archivist and historian, the late Roger Stowers, selected 'UKX 644J' for inclusion in the factory's Millennium Calendar, 'A Celebration of Craftsmanship'. This wonderful and extremely rare DB6 is offered with an old UK V5C Registration Certificate and a copy of the 2012 purchase invoice. Please note the car will be subject to the reduced import tariff of 5% if it is to remain in the UK and, as it has been on static display for the past nine years, will require recommissioning prior to road use.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 MOTORCYCLESIf 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 (SHIPPIO) to undertake the NOVA and C88 (customs) application if applicable on the Buyer's behalf.

The ex-David Shale, Tony Lanfranchi, Arthur Carter1955 Austin-Healey 100S Sports-Racing Two-SeaterRegistration no. EVV 106Chassis no. AHS 3509•One of only four UK-supplied examples•Extensive in-period competition history•Extensively documented from new•Part of the Arthur Carter Collection for 42 years•Present ownership since 2014Footnotes:'The prime motive of all our competition motoring was to generate publicity that would increase sales of the production model, the '100'... We were under pressure from distributors, particularly in America, to build specially prepared cars to meet demands from customers.' – Geoffrey Healey, The Healey Story. Thus was born the fabled 100S, one of the rarest and most highly sought after of all Austin-Healey sports cars. Donald Healey's stylish Austin-Healey 100 had caused a sensation when it debuted at the 1952 London Motor Show. Intended as a low-cost, high-performance, limited production sports car and aimed at the US market, which took almost 100% of production initially, the Austin-Healey 100 sourced its major components from the Austin Atlantic saloon. In fact, the car first appeared at Earls Court badged as a 'Healey Hundred' and was re-badged 'Austin-Healey' while still on its stand after Austin boss Leonard Lord bought the rights to the design. It was just as well that he did, for Healey would take over 3,000 orders during the Show yet his company had never made more than 200 cars in a single year!Lord had been happy to agree to supply Austin Atlantic components as the model had not been selling well in its intended market - the USA - and was scheduled for deletion. Low-revving and torquey, the Atlantic's 2,660cc four-cylinder engine produced an unremarkable 90bhp but when installed in the lighter and more streamlined Healey the result was a genuine 100mph-plus car capable of reaching 60mph in under 11 seconds. A three-speed gearbox equipped with overdrive on the top two ratios was an unusual feature of the original BN1, which was superseded by the short-lived, conventional four-speed BN2 for 1956. In 1953 a team of drivers including Donald Healey and George Eyston set a host of international and AMA speed records at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats driving two Healey 100s. Highlights including a maximum speed of 143.626mph and 1,000 kilometres at an average of 127.00mph achieved by the tuned car and 24 hours at an average of 104.3mph set by the AMA-selected 'off-the-showroom-floor' example. A muscular sports car to delight the purist, the 100 was not bettered by its six-cylinder successors in terms of outright performance until the introduction of the Austin-Healey 3000 in 1959. The project that would culminate in the 100S model began in 1953 when the factory began preparing the Austin-Healey 100 for competition. Dunlop disc brakes were one of the first important upgrades, followed in 1954 by the adoption of a Weslake-designed, 'single-port', aluminium cylinder head. Instead of the three-speed overdrive gearbox of the standard production model, the 100S was fitted with the new C-series four-speed unit. Healey's body suppliers, Jensen, built the 100S bodies in aluminium, the slightly different frontal treatment with its smaller oval radiator intake having been arrived at during development. There was no weather equipment, merely a low Perspex windscreen, while another of the model's distinctive features was its seats with their vertically slotted backs. A 20-gallon fuel tank filled the boot. Weighing 2,960lb (891kg) and with a claimed 132bhp on tap from its tuned engine, the 100S was good for a top speed of around 130mph (210km/h). When a prototype driven by Lance Macklin and George Huntoon finished an excellent 3rd overall at the Sebring 12-Hour Race in March 1954, it seemed only logical that the competition version should be called the 100S. The new car was premiered at the London Motor Show in October 1954 with deliveries commencing in February '55. Austin-Healey's contemporary advertising made much of the recent successful speed record attempt at Bonneville, Utah where a prototype had run for 24 hours, averaging 132.2mph. Excluding prototypes and 'Special Test Cars' to 100S specification, only 55 production versions were made, all being completed during 1955 and all with right-hand drive, most of which were despatched new to the USA. At most only 38 are believed to survive today.During the 1950s the Austin-Healey 100S was most accessible, most appealing and in many cases the most successful club-racing car available to any aspiring racing driver. This particularly appealing, and highly successful in period, Austin-Healey 100S is a shining example of the type. It has an outstanding record as a club-racing contender over a seven-year period from 1955 to 1962. 'EVV 106' was distinguished almost from new by two distinctive features. Firstly – as required by first owner David Shale – the car was equipped with an Aston Martin gearbox during production. And within days of its delivery to David Shale in February 1955 he had its paintwork changed from the standard Old English White over Lobelia Blue to British Racing Green, a colour that it wears to this day. The car was first UK road registered on 2nd March 1955, and evidence of its early paint change survives in a photograph of the car taken at one of its maiden outings in Mr Shale's hands, at the British Empire Trophy meeting at Oulton Park in April 1955.From 1955 to the present day, 'EVV 106' has had only seven owners: David Shale (1955-57), Mike Kellett (1957-58), the future multiple British club-racing champion Tony Lanfranchi (1958-1960), and the last of its great club-racing owners Derek Buller-Sinfield (1961-62). The retired warhorse was then acquired by Norfolk farmer-cum-noted Austin-Healey collector Arthur Carter, in whose hands it was preserved and maintained for the following 42 years, before being acquired by the immediately preceding owner in 2004. Furthermore, 'EVV 106' is one of only four 100S models originally sold and raced in the UK home market, and has the distinction of being domiciled in the UK since new.David Shale drove the car in its club racing debut outing at Goodwood Motor Circuit on 26th March 1955, finishing 2nd, and on 30th May 1956 took a 3rd place at the short-lived Davidstow aerodrome circuit in Cornwall. After failing to finish in the higher-level British Empire Trophy race meeting in April, he recorded four fine race wins, the first at Aintree and subsequently three at Silverstone. Never averse to compiling many road miles on the way to (and from) club race meetings around the British mainland he also achieved 2nd-place finishes at Brands Hatch in Kent, Mallory Park in Leicestershire, Snetterton in Norfolk and Davidstow. He also added a 3rd place at Brands Hatch and two more at Silverstone to the car's growing list of club race laurels. David Shale finished the season as runner-up in the 1956 Autosport Championship.The car was then acquired by second owner Mike Kellett, in whose hands a 2nd place was achieved at Croft in September 1957 and a 3rd at Marston Moor, followed in 1958 by 2nd and 4th-place results at Full Sutton, the very fast Yorkshire aerodrome circuit. Overall, it was raced at least 18 times in his ownership and remained a competitive contender against newer opposition.Tony Lanfranchi, from Huddersfield, then acquired the car and learned much about his chosen sport in it before going on to become one of the most colourful characters of the British and international motor racing scene. In 'EVV 106' he won the 1959 Catterick hill-climb, and 3rd places in the Burton Sprint and at the Mallory Park circuit. Derek Buller-Sinfield continued the Healey's regular competition career into 1962, at which time it was acquired as one of the foun... For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1971 Aston Martin DB6 Mark 2 Sports SaloonRegistration no. Not UK RegisteredChassis no. DB6MK2/4320/ROffered without reserve•One of only 240 DB6 Mark 2s built•Original colour combination•Present ownership since 2009Footnotes:In 1958 Aston Martin introduced its DB4 model, the first of a line which culminated in the DB6 built between 1965 and 1969. A key factor in the success of the DB6's DB4 progenitor was general manager John Wyer's decision that the new car be styled in Italy, rather than by the works, and the commission was superbly executed by Touring of Milan. The platform chassis was the work of Aston Martin's chief engineer Harold Beach, while the new twin overhead camshaft engine had been conceived by his colleague, Tadek Marek, and race tested in the DBR2 before its production debut in the DB4. With the arrival of the DB5 in 1963, engine capacity was upped, by enlarging the bore from 92 to 96mm, from 3.7 to 4.0 litres and this power unit was carried over to the DB6 for 1966. Power output on triple SU carburettors was 282bhp, rising to 325bhp in Vantage specification on triple Webers. Borg-Warner automatic transmission was offered alongside the standard ZF five-speed manual gearbox, and for the first time power-assisted steering was an option.The DB6 differed from its predecessors in having a longer wheelbase, which, at 8' 5¾', was 3¾' longer than that of the DB5. This meant more room for rear passengers, making the DB6 more of a family man's car, and helped it sell better than the earlier models in the series. The bodywork was distinctive, with a slightly higher roofline than the DB4 and DB5, and featured an aerodynamically efficient, abbreviated 'Kamm' tail. 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 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 1,567 saloons had been made, only 240 of which were to Mark 2 specification.First registered on 16th March 1971, this late DB6 Mark 2 was first registered (as 'EPY 501J') to S F Craggs Esq of East Yorkshire, while the AMOC Register records a subsequent registration as 'GPE 650J'. The car was built with the optional Borg Warner automatic transmission, and left the factory finished in the classic combination of Silver Birch with black Connolly leather interior. Purchased from marque specialist Desmond Smail in September 2009, the Aston is offered with copies of the sales invoice, factory guarantee form, and its last - and expired as it has been exported - V5C Registration Certificate.This rare MK2 has been on static display for a number of years and will require recommissioning prior to road use.

Originally finished in Old English Pewter with Fawn trim, chassis number '12204' was delivered equipped with the following options: two detachable headrests; electric sliding roof; headlamp wash/wipe; lambs' wool front seat covers; and lockable filler caps. The car's first owner was P Crane Esq of GTV Caravans, Bristol. The current owner purchased the Vantage from respected Aston Martin specialist Keith Riddington's Classicmobilia in October 2010, by which time it had been refinished in California Sage and re-trimmed in Magnolia.

2004 Aston Martin Vanquish SRegistration no. YJ54 TSMChassis no. SCFAC143J5B501642Offered without reserve •Imported from Japan•Right-hand drive•Automatic transmission•Only 29,000 kilometres (approximately 18,000 miles) recorded Footnotes:An entirely new Aston Martin for the 21st Century, the V12-engined Vanquish coupé debuted at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2001 with deliveries commencing a few months later. Styled by Ian Callum, the man responsible for the DB7, the Vanquish was developed with assistance from Aston Martin's parent company Ford using constructional techniques more advanced than those of any contemporary road car. The monocoque tub was made of heat-cured bonded aluminium, braced by a central tunnel of carbon fibre to create a lightweight structure of exceptional rigidity, thus enabling the chassis engineers to develop suspension combining excellent handling and roadholding with unrivalled ride quality. First seen in the DB7 V12, the 5.9-litre, 48-valve engine developed 460bhp at 6,800rpm, with 400lb/ft of torque available at 5,500 revs. The six-speed gearbox was controlled by F1-style paddles and could be operated in either of two modes: fully manual or computer-controlled automatic, with a 'sport' setting available on both. The inventory of standard equipment included almost everything the discerning connoisseur could wish for, while the performance - 190mph and 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds – placed the Vanquish firmly in the supercar class.The Vanquish was built in two versions: two-seater and 2+2. A pleasing blend of up-to-the-minute technology and traditional materials, the interior was dominated by an imposing aluminium centre console while also featuring Connolly leather upholstery and Wilton carpeting, emphasising the Aston Martin heritage, for despite its advanced specification, the Vanquish was built like all other Astons before it: one at a time and by hand. Like many of its illustrious brethren, the Vanquish enjoys the distinction of being a 'James Bond' Aston Martin, featuring in the movie Die Another Day starring Pierce Brosnan as '007'. Offered here is an example of the revamped Vanquish S that superseded the original version in 2004. Chief upgrade concerned the engine, which now produced 514bhp, an output good enough to make the Vanquish S a 200mph car. The previously optional Sports Dynamic Pack of enhanced steering, suspension and brakes came as standard with the Vanquish S. The vendor saw this Vanquish S in Japan and loved its Old English White colour and contrasting black/red interior. The car was imported after the selling garage had completed some restoration work. Since then the vendor has completed trips to Lake Como and back and, somewhat less exotically, Leeds to Bury St Edmunds, and describes the Vanquish as a great classic drive. Currently showing only 29,000 kilometres (approximately 18,000 miles) on the odometer, the car is offered with a V5C document and current MoT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
