Lot 442
Direct from 28-year family ownership, subject to a 7-year chassis-up restoration and one of just 25 models.Launched as the upmarket equivalent to the Land Rover in 1970 the Range Rover’s interior was somewhat behind that found in the contemporary Austin Maxi, at half the price. Interior refinements were added incrementally and it is perhaps inconceivable that a leather interior was only first introduced as an option in 1988! By the 1990s however it was clear that the smart money, both old and new, saw the Range Rover as a dual-purpose, luxury motorcar. The Autobiography Scheme was launched at the London Motor Show in 1993 and for the first time buyers could specify their Range Rover, available only as the long wheelbase 4.2-litre LSE, in any colour and interior trim they chose. Demand far outstripped supply and it was decided to limit the Autobiography option to just 25 cars, for the simple reason that there weren’t enough bare-shell LSE models available. Many retail-ready LSEs were re-painted and re-trimmed at Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Department, leading to production delays, late deliveries and cancelled orders. Leaving the production line in 1994 as an LSE in Beluga Black, this very special car was sent for Autobiography upgrades on the 7th February 1995 and re-finished in British Racing Green, with magnolia leather and fitted with a TWR body kit, a precursor to the Brooklands body kit of the later soft-dash Range Rover. It caught the eye of our vendor, Mrs Cook, who convinced her husband to exchange their bright red, six-month old, Autobiography for this car, a far classier alternative and benefitting from the same exclusivity. As lifelong Tottenham Hotspurs fans, the private registration number “L15 PUR” was applied to the car on the 12th October 1995 and is included in the sale, preserving the car’s history. The Range Rover was used regularly by our vendor’s late husband but, and despite meticulous in-house care and maintenance, the usual issues commonly found with the Classic started to show by 2006. It was then used sparingly until taken off the road in 2011. Easing into part-retirement Mr Cook now saw his beloved Range Rover as a restoration project worthy of his time and money. What followed was a seven-year odyssey involving expert structural and panel works, meticulous cosmetic preparation and specialist mechanical attention leading to significant improvements. The accompanying photograph album shows the thorough preparation and painstaking re-assembly of the Range Rover, a standard so high that it was often trailered to classic car events and mirrors placed underneath. The full schedule of works is simply too vast to include but in brief we start with the chassis which was shot-blasted, powder-coated, primed, hand sanded, primed again, painted black and lacquered. The bodyshell received remedial attention, replacement sections added where necessary with Waxoyl rust-proofing treatment to all vulnerable areas. The body panels were either shot-blasted or hand sanded back to bare metal and laboriously prepared for the several stages of painting. The axles were shot-blasted and thicker diff pans were welded on whilst new bearing housings and swivels were fitted. The braking system received new EBC discs, ventilated and grooved up front and grooved to the rear, whilst the callipers were rebuilt using stainless steel pistons. Specialist attention was directed to the air-suspension with new air springs fitted together with Koni dampers whilst “unobtanium” parts were manufactured specifically. The gearbox and torque converter were overhauled by the noted Midland Automatic Transmissions of Kettering. Mr Cook commissioned ADR Performance Engineering of Northampton to rebuild the engine with instructions to improve performance. A Tornado tune and ECU remap combined with forged pistons, reground crank, larger inlet valves and a Piper camshaft increased the brake horsepower to 265, a substantial increase from the standard 200bhp. Twin Kenlowe fans keep things cool and modern Bosch fuel-injectors have vastly improved start up and tickover. Ceramic-coated stainless steel headers replaced the cast-iron exhaust manifolds and the rest of the exhaust system was naturally upgraded to stainless steel. The sound-deadened interior was refreshed where necessary, inevitably receiving a new headlining, whilst the most significant upgrade saw dashboard and door caps stripped of their basic veneers and re-veneered with symmetrically cut American Burr Walnut, coated with multiple layers of polyester lacquer. Nationwide Trim not only supplied the headlining but also supplied new carpets with green over-mats piped in magnolia leather which matched the leather now covering the A, B and C pillars. Non-standard additions include new dark green webbing for the seatbelts, professionally fitted sound system and front and rear parking sensors. The extensive history file includes handbooks, service book, invoices, photographic record of the restoration and a copy of the Land Rover Owners International magazine from January 2019 which features this Range Rover’s restoration in far greater detail and poignantly showcases Mr Cook’s pride in his achievement. A Range Rover LSE is a rare car today, an early Autobiography is rarer still, very few come direct from 27-year family ownership and anyone wishing to replicate this superb restoration would need to budget at least £100,000, an estimate on file quotes £120,000. Offered to auction at a keen guide with a fresh MOT and a largely immaterial odometer reading of 106,698 miles at the time of cataloguing. We welcome and encourage your inspection of this remarkable Range Rover.SpecificationMake: LAND ROVERModel: RANGE ROVER LSE AUTOBIOGRAPHYYear: 1994Chassis Number: SALLHBM33KA638550Registration Number: L15 PURTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 40D06206A Drive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: Sorrell Beige LeatherClick here for more details and images

Car #61 retains its original Clubman spec shell with an International spec engine (Goodman Racing unit), a dog box, plus its original unpainted bumpers. A real survivor of the Group B rally era.In the mid-1980s, the 'Group B' race category of the World Rally Championship inspired the wildest, most powerful rally cars ever built. The MG Metro 6R4 was born out of this short-lived turbocharged era and Austin Rover's optimistic thirst for motorsport success after the TR7 V8 and TR8 rally cars had hung up their competitive boots. The entire project was the brainchild of Austin Rover Motor Sport Chief, John Davenport. Davenport decided to follow the lead of Audi's revolutionary permanent 4WD transmission, and once the green light was given, he collaborated with the best engineering brains in the land. Patrick Head and John Piper from Williams F1 were brought onboard as not only were Williams the best F1 team at the time but they were also sponsored by the company.In December 1982 the finished prototype was delivered to Cowley for in-house development to begin. However, it wasn't until 1984 that the 6R4 was introduced to the press in order to quell increasing speculation surrounding the project. Beneath its skin, the puny A-Series engine/front-wheel-drive package was replaced by a David Wood-designed 3-litre, 90-degree V6 situated behind the front seats and driving all four wheels. Twin-cam cylinder heads modelled on those of Cosworth's Formula 1 DFV V8 engine ensured the 6R4 was a true giant killer.The car appeared in two guises. There was a so-called Clubman model, a road going version developing approximately 250bhp, of which around 200 were made and sold to the public. A further 20 were taken and built to International Group B specifications. However, in 1986 Group B rallying was scrapped after a series of fatalities among drivers and spectators. Just as teething problems were being ironed out, the 6R4 was denied any chance of glory on an international stage.Happily, that was not the end of the story and, with the help of the various governing bodies, detuned versions (the capacity was limited to 2,500cc) of the 6R4 were allowed to continue rallying at a national level - something they do with great success to this day. They also achieved a stellar career in Rallycross.The 6R4 presented here (substantiated by a 6R4 expert and documented in a corresponding e-mail from 2002 to a previous owner - a copy of which is in the car’s history file) is one of the original batch of 200 cars assembled for Group B homologation between August and October 1985. It confirms that the car’s chassis number was SAXXRWNP7AD570052 and its 6R4 number was 061 (all as per they appear on the car’s chassis plate, number tag and V5C). The records state that the engine was fitted on the 14th September 1985 and the car was allocated to the Sales Department on 13th October 1985.Skip forward to 2018 and this car, 061, was bought by our rally-enthusiast vendor, and between him and his son (who also campaigns a WRC Fiesta), it has done numerous events (demos/hill climbs – which the previous owner also did with a sprint/hill climb MSA logbook) and is very well-known, being a highly regarded example in 6R4 circles.The history of this particular car is interesting, with information provided by our vendor, it has ownership continuity from new. In 1987, Ted Toleman (former principal and founder of the Toleman F1 team) acquired two 6R4s, cars 052 & 061 - 052 was selected to be modified. Having given up on F1 in 1986 when he sold his team to Benetton, Toleman decided to become involved in Endurance Rallying instead, with the aim of becoming the first British team to win the Paris-Dakar. After competing in the 1987 event with a Range Rover, the Toleman Group returned for 1988 with the modified Metro 6R4 to be driven by World Hot Rod Champion Barry Lee and Toleman himself. Known as the TG88 Metro Raider, the ugly brute was widened and lengthened by 8.5" to make it more stable and the highly-strung V64V engine was replaced with a JE Motors-tuned 3.9-litre Range Rover engine producing 230bhp. Unfortunately, it was disqualified at the end of the first day after exceeding the time limit (their support truck failed to reach them in time to start the next stage).To be able to use this TG88 Metro Raider (052) in the Paris-Dakar, he attached to it the registration ‘E577 CWC’, whether this was done officially or not, but it's often the done-thing in motor racing. The car presented here, 061, the sister-car of this Metro Raider (052) today officially wears the registration E577 CWC (as per its V5C) and the car’s original ID tag (denoting) 6R4 061 and BL chassis plate all correspond and, as mentioned, are supported by the e-mail from the 6R4 expert.Importantly, car 061 retains its original Clubman-spec shell and is fitted with an International Spec engine (Goodman Racing unit) and a dog box’. Like most race/rally machinery this car has had a life, with parts replaced, updated and adapted for use over the years, often being sourced from specialists, including John Price Rallying. It has always been owned by 6R4 enthusiasts, with one restoring it back to standard pristine condition and subsequently using it as demonstration events.The car is today in fine mechanical fettle and has, pleasingly, retained many original features over the years - real testament to the previous owners’ dedicated custodianship. It has been little used in the last few years. The underside particularly appears unmarked and is in fine condition. Indeed, when Top Gear wanted to do a feature on the 6R4, the production team approached a previous owner of car 061, who was more than happy to oblige and lent the car to the programme in which it was driven by Richard Hammond (photo attached on the Top Gear set).With Group B rally cars now hitting the £500,000 mark, British Leyland's answer to the factory cars from those elite manufacturers now looks incredible value.SpecificationMake: MGModel: METRO 6R4Year: 1985Chassis Number: SAXXRWNP7AD570052Registration Number: E577 CWCTransmission: Manual Engine Number: 0-CR-048 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveClick here for more details and images
Lot 501
Bought directly by our vendor from the first owner in 1998, subject to a long-term restoration and just one of 562 right-hand drive examples.The 1955 launch of the 190 SL cemented Mercedes-Benz's reputation as the car manufacturer for those who wanted elegance, build quality and a good turn of speed. Unsurprisingly, most of the 26,000 units were sold to the North American market and, it's believed, just some 562 were made in right-hand drive. Although stunningly pretty, the 190 SL had stiff competition in the UK from domestic sports car manufacturers such as Jaguar, Austin-Healey and the significantly cheaper models from MG. Consequently, a UK-supplied 190 SL is perhaps the rarest of all sports cars from that era, especially compared to the huge amount of cars sold to countries who drive on the other side of the road.Some would say that a car’s history is as important as its condition, and whilst restorations can be paid for, it is the story that elevates a car from lovely to interesting. We now have the pleasure of telling this car’s story which began when it was first registered, appropriately enough on New Years Day 1961, to the first owner, a Mr Beach of Twickenham. Supplied in red with a black interior, the car was issued with the registration number 56 HYL and we are pleased to say that the car still bears that registration today, and will do for the next owner. The accompanying buff continuation logbook, stamped 25th May 1972, is signed by Mr Beach and notes the car’s colour, chassis and engine numbers.One day in 1998, our lady vendor was strolling past Mr Beach’s house and noticed the 190 SL in the open garage. Lengthy negotiations were started and the car was finally purchased from its first owner by our vendor. It appears that it had not run for many years and the subsequent restoration was a labour of love that took over twenty-years, which our vendor concedes was to a good, usable standard, rather than to Concours-winning condition. The colour was changed to silver, the interior retrimmed in red leather and topped by a black soft top hood with the original interior fittings retained where possible.Very rarely does a 61 old car come to market with just two owners from new, and few have the original owner’s details listed in a buff logbook. The odometer reading of 53,498 miles, at the time of cataloguing, is believed genuine, in keeping with the car’s decades away from the road. Sensibly guided, it's presented to auction with the current V5C showing just one former keeper, the aforementioned buff continuation logbook, a fresh MOT Certificate and the distinction of being a 190 SL with the lowest ownership history offered to market in some time.
