A very late production 1275GT restored to a remarkable standard.Launched in 1969, the Mini 1275GT was the 'hot' version of the new-look Mini Clubman and was intended to replace the old Mini Cooper S, which duly ended production in 1971, leaving the 1275GT as the only sporting Mini on sale for the rest of the decade. The Clubman and 1275GT were themselves replaced in 1980 by the new hatchback Metro.Entered from private ownership, this exceptional example is one of the last flagship sporting Mini 1275GTs. Having been manufactured between June 1979 and October 1980, it benefits from being registered as an Austin Morris Mini 1275GT as opposed to the BLMC and Leyland Cars title, that the vast majority of 1275GTs carry. It was meticulously restored over a period of some 24 months which finished in 2013, and there are documented invoices for all the works carried-out (exceeding £20,000) on file. The Mini has only covered around 500 miles since completion, having been carefully stored since.The comprehensive restoration included:-· The vehicle was carefully dismantled to component form, to be restored to the highest possible standard.· The body-shell was then forwarded for chemical Stripping to renowned experts, SPL (Surface Processing Limited).· Many replacement OEM panels were sourced, including; front wings, rear quarter panels, door skins, valances, gusset closing panels, front panel, sill panels, front & rear subframe MPs and much more besides which facilitated the painstaking bodywork restoration (detailed within the history file).· The car was then zinc etch-primed before being professionally repainted in gloss black, ‘stonechipped’ and subsequently benefitted from careful rustproofing throughout.· The engine was removed, rebuilt and ported with the benefit of a duplex chain fitted.· Newton Commercial interior panels including quality fitted carpets and headlining were fitted.· Le Mans seat package with Cobra frames.· Superlight 12” alloy wheels finished in complimentary gold/chrome effect.· Replacement chrome & brightwork throughout.· New wiring loom.· New Cibie driving lamps.· Replacement brake-linings throughout.· Replacement window-seals, vents etc.· Replacement clutch & brake cylinders etc.Our vendor has recently had the vehicle serviced including a coolant change and has supplied a fresh ‘no-advisory’ MOT which has been added to the car's history file alongside the invoices and photographic records of the restoration.

Multiple show-winning Mark II Cooper S, restored with remarkable attention to detail and classically finished in El Paso Beige with a black vinyl interior.Offered here is a UK-supplied 1968 Mark II Austin Mini Cooper S which has been subject to an extremely well detailed restoration. First registered in June 1968 and finished in the classic period colours of El Paso Beige with an Old English White roof and a black interior, the Mini eventually ended up in the ownership of a family restoration business specialising in Minis. It was basically sound and remained 'matching numbers' which made it a good base for the painstaking, ground-up, fully detailed restoration which was to follow.When it was finished, it was purchased by our vendor in 2014 to become part of his collection and has since been enjoyed at numerous classic car shows, often picking up silverware including winner of 'Best Mini Cooper S' at the 2017 International Mini Meet (IMM). The Cooper has always been correctly dry stored since restoration and transported to most events in an enclosed trailer. It remains numbers matching and has many correct details including wire clips in the engine bay, crimped exhaust and Dunlop SP sport tyres. We understand that this gleaming little Mk II starts on-the-button and performs as well as it looks.It's accompanied by a history file which includes its Heritage Certificate which verifies colours, engine, chassis and commission number along with various other items of older paperwork and the current V5C ready for transfer or export.With restoration costs far exceeding our upper estimate, this is a great opportunity to take ownership of a show-winning Cooper S which appears to be fabulous value for money and hopefully will continue to turn the heads of enthusiasts and concours judges alike.SpecificationMake: AUSTINModel: MINIYear: 1968Chassis Number: CA25B1129633ARegistration Number: PRM 764FTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 1650 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images
Outright winner of the 1965 RAC Rally in the hands of Rauno Aaltonen, this remarkable Mini is a true British competition legend and, having formed part of highly regarded UK private collections over the years, DJB 93B is now offered on the open market.Unlikely though it may have seemed to anyone viewing an 848cc-engined 'Mini Seven' in 1959, when John Cooper got hold of it a few years later the resulting 'Mini Cooper' became the most successful works rally car of the 1960s. The Mini Cooper family's ultimate expression - the 1,275cc 'S' - won first time out in 1964 and became the works' frontline car from 1965 onwards, winning eight international rallies outright that same year, an amazing achievement.According to the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, this now Morris-badged (though originally Austin) Mini Cooper 1,275S, 'CA2S7/662044', was built at Longbridge on 26th November 1964 prior to despatch on 2nd December to the MG Car Company at Abingdon where, like most BMC factory competition cars, it was issued with a Berkshire registration, in this case 'DJB 93B'. Following subsequent preparation by the Abingdon-based Competitions Department, initially as an Austin for export market reasons, it took part in the 1965 Swedish and Acropolis Rallies before finishing 13th in class on the Alpine and (as a Morris) winning the RAC Rally of GB in the legendary Rauno Aaltonen's hands.Having been driven to victory by Tony Fall on the Scottish Rally the following season, 'DJB 93B' rolled into retirement from Abingdon Competitions Department service during the 1966 Gulf London Rally and was not seen again until 1986. By 1991, ownership had transferred from clubman Jeff Wilson to Mini Machine of Darlington, from whom the project was taken on in 1996 by the highly respected and very successful Works Rally co-driver and subsequent World Rally Team Manager (Toyota, Mitsubishi etc) Phil Short, who commissioned a total restoration to original 'Works' specification.A correct and fully restored Mk1 body shell was employed, though with double-skinned exhaust tunnel, floor under driver's feet and cross-member, strengthened bulkhead steady bar bracket, steering rack mounts and rear shocker mounts all being to Abingdon specification. Although run initially in hydrolastic form, like most works Minis of the day, the car was given 'dry' suspension in period and is in this form today. Parts were sourced by marque specialist John Kelly while Simon Wheatcroft's workshop was responsible for the detailed build.The engine incorporates a 1,275S thick-flange block, linered and bored out +0.020" to 1,293cc; Omega dished pistons; Farndon cross-drilled crank in EN40B steel; fully machined conrods in EN24V; Downton No. 2 cam; and 12G940 cylinder head fed by twin SU H4 carburettors. Engine builder Bryan Slark, formerly with Downton, achieved a dynamometer reading of 117bhp at 7,000rpm and 1071b/ft torque at 5,000rpm. The transmission specification includes a 22G333 gearbox casing, straight-cut close-ratio pinions, straight-cut drop gears, 4.3:1 final drive and Quaife Torsen-type limited-slip differential. Following installation in the car, the rolling road showed 96bhp at 7,250rpm and 811b/ft at 4,250rpm. The engine is said to be extremely flexible from 3,000rpm and eager to rev to 8,000rpm at which point it sounds wonderful!As the early BMC roll-bar with single rear stay no longer complies with FIA/MSA safety requirements, a Safety Devices bolt-in full cage with easily removable front hoop was chosen. 1964 glass windows have been used, while the heated screen and all trim, as well as the Springalex-type steering wheel, air horns and internally mounted electric washers, are exactly as used on the 1965 RAC. The seats are exact replicas of the originals: the driver's a bucket-type with tubular frame, the co-driver's reclining. The works dash and well-equipped navigator's department are Abingdon-correct, while the Willans harnesses and FIA cut-out switch are compliant with current regulations.The electrics are authentic, having been wired by Stan Chalmers who, with John Smith of Lucas, used to wire-up all the factory cars. There are five extra Lucas lamps with quick-release brackets and a swivelling roof light with Aaltonen anti-glare scoop. Under-body protection is provided by a 'Scottish' sump guard with optional extension guard and battery skid. The wheels, six of them, are genuine magnesium Minilites shod with Yokohama A008 tyres: five new, one used. Roof and body, as well as engine and transmission, paint colours are all authentic. For display purposes, there is a December '65 tax disc.A most impressive history file contains signed and dated BMIHT Heritage Certificates pre- and post-rebuild confirming manufacturing, registration and competition history; Abingdon 'Build Sheets' for 1964 RAC Rally; BMC Homologation Forms from period; FIA Historic Vehicle Identity Form; current MSA Competition Car Logbook; MoT Test Certificates 1986-July 2007; two folders of original invoices; and current Swansea V5C registration document. Photograph albums record the car's restoration, wiring and engine - both in build and on the dyno - and winning drivers Aaltonen and Fall with it at the Abingdon Reunion. On the front covers of Autosport (December 1965) and Mini World, 'DJB 93B' has also featured in several other publications, copies of which accompany the car also.'DJB 93B's BMC factory team rally history:1965 Swedish (Rauno Aaltonen) retired, mechanical1965 Acropolis (Timo Makinen) retired, mechanical1965 Alpine (Pauline Mayman) 13th in category1965 RAC (Rauno Aaltonen) 1st overall1966 Scottish (Tony Fall) 1st overall1966 Gulf London (Tony Fall) retired, accidentThis is one of the most correctly specified and detailed ex-works Minis around. Since completion in 1998, the car has been maintained regardless of cost (as confirmed by bills on file) and always garaged in a heated and dehumidified motor house. Apart from regular exercise on various historic rally 'fun runs' as part of the 'Slowly Sideways Group', 'DJB 93B' has also been successfully hill climbed and sprinted with a win in the 2001 Midland Speed Classic Championship. The car purchased at Bonhams' 'Race Retro' sale at Stoneleigh, Warwickshire in March 2007 (Lot 306), since when it has been invited to the Goodwood 'Festival of Speed' where it was driven again by Rauno Aaltonen in 2010.While other ex-works cars come onto the open market from time to time, many of them are likely to cost very much more again to restore and then involve even further expenditure to return them to period-correct specification. Few are likely to have been prepared to the standard of authenticity to be found on this car. 'DJB 93B' has been rebuilt as far as has been practical to the original specification in which it would have started the 1965 RAC Rally, which it won, making it the only Mini ever to do so.

Charismatic little 948cc-engined Turner 803 purchased new and raced by the legendary Betty Haig, Britain's most successful female competition driver ever.A member of the Haig Whisky family and a grand-niece of Field Marshal Douglas Haig, Commander of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), Elizabeth (Betty) Haig (1905 -1987) was a lifelong enthusiast for all things motoring. She did well in rallies, winning an Olympic Medal in her first pre-war rally, in Germany, with a 1500cc, six-cylinder Singer, a car also used for a WASA trial and Brooklands driving. She then won the Paris-St Raphael Feminin Rally outright in her PB MG, and after the war she won the Ladies’ Cup and her class in the fantastic 1948 Alpine Trial in an AC. She went on a Monte Carlo Rally in an experimental Morris Minor with Elsie Wisdom and Barbara Marshall, and won the 1½ litre class in the very tough 1949 Alpine Trial with a works TC MG.She was equally competent on tarmac driving her HRG to a class-win in a Swiss hill-climb, changed to a Healey-Silverstone, raced a Cooper-JAP and a vee-twin Cooper 1000, drove the highest-placed foreign car, a Triumph TR2, in the 1952 San Remo Rally, raced her AC Ace at Goodwood and Brands Hatch, a Turner 803 in Italy and took Ladies’ Cups at Prescott and Shelsley Walsh with a Lotus Eleven. Then there was a TT MG Magnette raced at Goodwood and Silverstone, gaining a Coupe de Vitesse with an Austin-Healey 100 in a later Paris-St Raphael Rally, and breaking the Ladies’ Record at Prescott in a Lotus 23. A little later she shared a Ferrari with Yvonne Simons in the 1951 Le Mans 24 Hour race, finishing with an average of over 82mph to win the Coupe des Dames. She continued to race for years and loved Silverstone and particularly Goodwood where she competed on a regular basis, presumably using the little Turner in appropriate events. In 1966, Betty and photographer Guy Griffiths established the Historic Sports Car Club (HSCC).A letter in the large history file states that this car, #30/40, was bought new from Jack Turner through Swanden Motor Sales in Worthing by Betty Haig, and registered SUF 1 on 13th March 1957. It’s an 803 but according to a letter in the file, it was fitted with a 948cc A-Series and was, in fact, the prototype for the Turner 950 which commenced production a little later. It appears that at some point the engine was bored out to 997cc and we understand that £100 (a substantial sum then) was invested at Downton Engineering on further modifications. This ‘hot’ engine, although stripped and in need of repair, accompanies the car today which is currently powered by a 948cc unit, lightly modified for road use.In 1960, she sold the car to Isobel Robinson who at that time was the Public Relations Officer for BRM. She had started to compete in Eric Broadley’s 1,172cc Ford engined special (the forerunner to the Lola) before moving to the then Downton-tuned Turner. She owned it for three years continuing to use it in competition – some lovely period shots having been unearthed at the archive at the Beaulieu Motor Museum. The car then moved to Sue Taylor, a friend of Isobel's, who according to a letter from her in 2006, 'raced it a bit'. As a trainee nurse she found it all a bit expensive and part-exchanged it for a Mini. By 1964 the car was seen advertised in Motorsport (copy in file), Sue having kept the number SUF 1 which she still had on her modern Clio when the letter was written. It was re-registered 872 DRV.The story then goes quiet until 1979 when it was discovered, abandoned in Southampton. Recovered by Lee Barton and passed on to his father-in-law, Ken Edwards, its whereabouts was reported to the very active Turner Register. Issued with the age-related number TSV 483, photographs of it exist in a rather down-at-heel state in 1991 when owned by Dave Scott. Happier days lay ahead as the file also contains an invoice and photographs from 1994 of a body-off restoration by West Country Motorsports confirming that the work was completed to a high standard including race preparation. The car was then exported to the US in 1995 to begin the next stage of its life.#30/40’s racing career then took off again, with a series of strong finishes in the VSCCA Historic Race Series before returning to the UK in 2004 where the owner’s brother looked after it until 2012 when it was offered for sale. At that point, on 28th November 2012, it was purchased by our vendor, who’s collection includes some fairly exotic machinery, and was duly registered to him but, as is often the way, it was very rarely used.There is a lot of history with TSV including correspondence from the Turner Registrar, articles and features, old photographs, Turner/Fairthorpe magazines, a number of invoices, restoration details and photographs from 1994, lots of racing results from the US, import documentation, MOTs and V5s etc.Frequently photographed in period, this stunning little Turner is eligible for a wide range of events. It has the potential to be right up there in the thick of it thanks to the ever increasing power outputs squeezed from the remarkable A-Series engine, the superb handling characteristics and the car's light weight. As mentioned earlier, the original engine will be supplied with the car (will need to be collected) and with Betty Haig’s regular appearances at Goodwood and with sufficient investment it may well be welcome at all sorts of glamorous events.Not a concours contender but, with its active period competition history by a brace of well-known lady drivers, this venerable little Turner will no doubt attract a lot of attention wherever it goes.

Bought from Spike Milligan by Peter Sellers in 1968 and cherished until his death in 1980. Restored as a personal project by RS Williams for £45,000 in 2015.The Austin Motor Car Company launched the Twelve in 1921 and it proved to be hugely popular thanks to superior build quality across a range of models and an engine quoted as capable of delivering some 40mph, tested, perhaps, on a steep gradient. Produced in 1930 this Austin Heavy Twelve Open Road Tourer Deluxe was bought by comedian Spike Milligan in the 1950s and affectionately nicknamed “Old Min”, inspired by the elderly spinster Minnie Bannister, a character from 'The Goon Show'. The car seemed to suit Spike’s appearance and personality but the car was to be coveted by another member of the Goons, the suave playboy of the group, Peter Sellers. The George Best of comedy and rarely seen without an attractive woman on his arm, Sellers famously owned some special Ferraris, naturally the latest Rolls-Royce and many Aston Martins, but “Old Min” had him under her spell.By this time Sellers had met the world-renowned Aston Martin specialist Richard Williams, who took on the role of the actor's 'fleet manager'. Having enjoyed the Austin for 11 years, Sellers gave 'Old Min' back to Milligan only to retrieve the car almost immediately as he felt his friend was failing to care for it properly. The car's history following Sellers' death in 1980 is not clear, but Richard Williams later became acquainted with one of the subsequent owners and was able to purchase 'Old Min' in March 2010.In 2012, Richard commenced a total restoration to Sellers' famously exacting standards, a long and painstaking process that would take the next three years to complete. The original hood was retained; the upholstery sympathetically refurbished; and the engine rebuilt by Vintage-era Austin specialist, Bob James. Richard spent over £45,000 on the restoration and his detailed summary of the costs may be found in the extensive history file together with old photographs, various invoices, magazine articles, and an original handbook inscribed 'Property of Spike Milligan – please return'. Used sparingly since the restoration the car was bought from the Richard Williams estate in May 2021 by our enthusiast vendor for family jaunts and is now offered to the next custodian.Shortly after the restoration’s completion, "Old Min" was road-tested by Andrew Roberts for an article in Classic & Sports Car magazine (March 2016 edition, copy on file) in which he succinctly sums up its unique charm. "This test possibly means more to me than almost any other I've done for C&SC," he declared. "In my day job as a film historian, I genuinely regard Peter Sellers, at the height of his powers, to have been the finest actor in post-war British cinema, and so the experience of riding in Old Min was on a par with another motoring scribe driving the former property of Graham Hill or Jim Clark."Photographs credited to Simon Clay.Period photographs part of the Lot.SpecificationMake: AUSTINModel: OLD MIN - HEAVY 12/4 CLIFTON OPEN ROAD TOURER DELUXYear: 1930Chassis Number: 68282Registration Number: GO 3252Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 68937L Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 10000 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Dark RedClick here for more details and images
** Awaiting new V5C from the DVLA **A lovely BJ8 that's been in current private ownership for over 30 years. The Austin-Healey 3000 is the very epitome of the classic British sports car and one of the very few cars that can be said to have attained classic status whilst still in production. Quite an achievement then, but not an altogether unexpected one considering Austin-Healey's heritage coupled with its achievements in motorsport. The 3000 Mk III (BJ8) with 150bhp appeared early in 1964 to be followed later in the year by the Phase II version which featured a brace of HD8 SU carburettors, stronger valve springs, a revised camshaft, walnut-veneered dashboard, wind-up windows, a redesigned rear chassis, addressing a long-term criticism of the car's notoriously poor ground clearance, and revised rear suspension incorporating twin radius-arms instead of a Panhard rod. Top speed was now 121mph and the 0-60mph time dipped below 10 seconds. Despite the antiquity of the basic design, the 'Big Healey' remained as popular as ever, although increasingly stringent safety and emissions legislation meant that its days were numbered and by the time production ended in December 1967, over 16,000 Phase IIs - by far the most popular variant - had been built.According to the accompanying Heritage Trust Certificate, this lovely, late-production BJ8 was despatched to Boston, USA on 7th December 1966 in left-hand drive format and was originally finished in British Racing Green with a black leather interior. It was specified from new with wire wheels, overdrive, heater, an adjustable steering column, laminated windscreen, Avon Road Speed tyres and a black tonneau cover which was pretty much the entire options list in 1966.The Healey returned to these shores at the end of the 80s and was purchased by our vendor's late husband in 1989. It has remained in current private family ownership for over 30 years meaning that this BJ8 is excitingly on the market for the first time in over three decades. Now in right-hand drive and classically finished in the striking combination of Colorado Red over Jet Black with chrome wire wheels, red-piped, black leather seats and a Moto-Lita wood-rim steering wheel, this car has clearly been well looked after during its long-term ownership. Indeed, it has resided in a car bubble for the past five years ensuring it presents so well today.Supplied with a history file, including the aforementioned Heritage Certificate, and a fresh MOT prior to the sale, this is a rare opportunity to purchase this delightful example of the final development of the venerable Healey 3000 from long term ownership and at a very sensible guide.SpecificationMake: AUSTIN-HEALEYModel: 3000Year: 1966Chassis Number: H-BJ8-L/39379Registration Number: TBCTransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images
A good example of the rare Twin Plenum with a detailed history file that includes the original service book and reams of historical receipts - Offered Without Reserve.Styled as "New Tradition' by Rover at its launch in 1976, the Rover 3500 "Specialist Division One" took the motoring press by storm, winning the European Car of the Year title in 1977. The SD1 can be considered as the last "true" Rover, being the final Rover-badged vehicle to be produced at Solihull, as well as being the last to be designed largely by ex-Rover Company engineers and also the final Rover car to be fitted with the legendary Rover V8 engine. This Rover SD1 Vitesse is a rare and striking ‘twin-plenum’ example of the marque’s modern classic performance-oriented executive saloon, offered in highly original condition and, we believe, one of only 500 examples. It's powered by a naturally aspirated 3.5-litre V8 with a twin side-entry throttle plenum fuel injection system, producing around 200bhp and driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.Originally a Jersey-delivered model, the car has had three owners, and has been with the last owner for five years. Brought over to the UK-mainland, the car is currently on a NOVA and we inform prospective bidders that it is their responsibility to register the car with the DVLA. The odometer reading of 67,344 is commensurate with the original service record in the detailed history file which also includes reams of historic receipts and ownership details. Supplied to auction with a current MOT valid until 1st September 2023, cased Elastoplast First Aid Kit and plastic wallet containing the aforementioned Austin Rover Service Record and Consumer Guide..SpecificationMake: ROVERModel: VITESSEYear: 1986Chassis Number: RREW27CM343615Registration Number: TBATransmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 67344 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Grey ClothClick here for more details and images
