Lot 108

1961 Austin-Healey Frogeye' Sprite- Described by vendor as excellent all round- Original chassis and engine- MOT till Aug 2018- In running order- History file including old MOT's and receiptsThe first generation Sprite was launched in Monte Carlo immediately prior to the 1958 Monaco Grand Prix and, thanks to its prominent bonnet-mounted headlights, quickly became known as the 'Frogeye' - a moniker that has stuck to this day. It's impossible not to smile at the sight of one, and this very original-looking 1961 example certainly looks capable of giving many years of happy motoring to its next keeper. Finished in arguably the best colour combination of White bodywork and Red interior trim, '788 JBJ' was restored in 2003 but retains its original chassis and 948cc A Series engine. It has apparently only had four owners from new and is presently regarded by the vendor as featuring 'excellent' bodywork, leather interior trim, paintwork, engine and manual gearbox. He is now offering it complete with comprehensive history file comprising lots of invoices and old MOTs, plus one valid until August 4th. How could you resist?

Lot 138

1986 Austin Mini- Subject of a total bare body restoration only three years ago- 1380cc A Series engine and four-speed manual gearbox- Wide-rim Minilite-style wheels and roll cageThis handsome righthand drive 1986 MKV Mini was the subject of a total bare body restoration only three years ago, since when it has covered very few miles as a result of the owner moving abroad. The extensive work included comprehensive refurbishment of the engine and gearbox and the installation of fresh suspension and brake components and powder coated subframes. Featuring White over Grey bodywork and contrasting Black interior trim, 'D452 YBC' is considered by the vendor to have 'excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, 1380cc A Series engine and four-speed manual gearbox, and comes complete with wide-rim Minilite-style wheels and roll cage. What's now classed as the Classic Mini was launched to an awed public in 1959, and continued in varying forms and under ever-changing management until 2000, by which time 5,387,862 examples had been produced. In 1999 it was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century, behind the Model T Ford.

Lot 15

1973 Vanden Plas Princess 1300- Registering less than 16,000 miles from new, recent brake overhaul- Teal Blue with Beige leather interior, automatic transmission- Unrepeatable time-warp example with current MoT to April 2018Acquired by BMC in 1946 the firm of Vanden Plas, which could trace its roots back as far as 1870, had earned an enviable reputation as a coachbuilder chiefly known for its work on Bentley, Lagonda and Rolls-Royce chassis prior the Second World War. By the late 1950s the company was engaged in adding luxury fittings to a range of Austin-Morris models produced by BMC. In 1963, the ADO16 range of saloons began to be upgraded culminating in the lavishly equipped Vanden Plas 1300 Princess as offered here. Leather upholstery, wood veneer, a distinctive radiator grille and special badging distinguished these VDP examples, whilst the 1.3-litre twin carburettor engine shared with the MG models developed some 65bhp, resulting in a 90mph top speed.This time-warp automatic transmission example registers less than 16,000 miles (just 15,658 at the time of cataloguing) from new, having mostly been in storage since 1981. Originally sold new in Scotland, the car recently benefited from a brake overhaul and the fitment of new tyres. Finished attractively in Teal Blue with Beige interior, WRS 866L appears ready to show and comes with an old-style Swansea V5 document, 1981 MoT certificate at 14,197 miles and a current MoT with no advisories. Arguably the most desirable model variation of its type, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire such an original and well-preserved example.

Lot 16

1959 Austin-Healey 3000 MKI- 1 of just 2,825 two-seater cars made- Matching chassis, engine and body numbers- BMIHT Certificate, highly presentable, overdrive and full weather equipmentA significant step in terms of 'Big Healey' evolution and foundation block for one of the 1960s' most charismatic rally cars, the 3000 MKI was introduced in March 1959. Capable of nearly 120mph, it was powered by an enlarged 2912cc version of the BMC C-Series straight-six engine that developed some 124bhp and 167lbft of torque. Although, equipped with a similar chassis design to its 100/6 forebear, the new model enjoyed notably better braking thanks to the adoption of Girling front discs. Fitted with wire wheels and adjustable front seats as standard, it was available in two-seater (BN7) or 2+2 (BT7) guises. Highly prized among enthusiasts, the former accounted for just 2,825 sales before the arrival of the 3000 MKII in 1961.According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, this particular example was built to left-hand drive specification on June 29th-30th 1959. Factory-fitted with a heater, overdrive, adjustable steering column, laminated windscreen, sealed beam headlights, wire wheels and Roadspeed tyres, the two-seater was supplied new via Hambro Trading Inc of Philadelphia. The vendor repatriated the 3000 on the understanding that it was 'a true survivor that had never rusted or been abused'. Believed but not warranted to have covered 28,000 miles from new, the BN7 was endorsed by its previous keeper as follows: 'Drives wonderfully, quick and tight, overdrive operates well, quiet transmission, good oil pressure, a great car in great condition. I have owned over thirty Healeys in my lifetime and this car is one of the best'. Pleasingly able to boast matching chassis, engine and body numbers, it is now UK road registered as '688 UYY'. Repainted in Colorado Red and retrimmed in Black leather and vinyl with matching carpets, the 3000 remains highly presentable. Rare and desirable, this BN7 is worthy of close inspection and comes with a fresh MOT certificate.

Lot 36

1968 Morris Mini Moke PLEASE NOTE: The 850cc engine which accompanies this lot bears an engine number which matches that stated on its V5C Registration Document. The engine and gearbox can be viewed at the Documents' Office. PLEASE NOTE: This lot has a MOT certificate valid until March 2019 and was driven to the sale. - 1 of only 9,096 Morris versions made a mere ten percent of which were 'home market' supplied  - Treated to an extensive bare metal restoration by its previous keeper (who owned it twice) in c.2007 and less than 1,200 miles since - Entered from a private collection and offered for sale with original plastic wallet containing a Morris Mini Minor handbook and Moke supplement First registered in Stirlingshire on 17th May 1968 (or so its number plate would imply), this rare 'home market' example was so beloved by its previous keeper that he owned it twice. Treated to an extensive, 'bare metal' restoration during his second tenure, the Morris returned to the road circa 2007. Part of a private collection for the past four years, the Moke has been sparingly used and indeed is thought to have only covered 1,200 miles or so since its refurbishment was completed. Uprated with a leather-rimmed steering wheel, more powerful 1275cc A-Series engine, Sabelt front harnesses and dual braking system for modern traffic conditions, 'MWG 423F' is expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original plastic wallet (containing a Morris Mini Minor handbook and Moke supplement), 850cc A-Series engine, assorted old MOTs / tax discs and some 1990s magazine articles on restoring Mokes. The utilitarian Moke (slang for Donkey) was conceived as a light military vehicle and, codenamed The Buckboard, was tested by all three branches of the armed forces. However, its relatively low ground clearance ruled it out of most combat situations and its forte was as a beach buggy in such popular holiday destinations as the Seychelles and the Caribbean. Some 50,000 examples were manufactured all told - UK production ran from 1964 to 1968, while they were also built in Australia, Portugal and Italy. The monocoque shell comprised a pair of box-section pontoons connected by the floorpan and firewall. Engine, gearbox, suspension etc were standard Mini components, making for economical service and repair. Most of the 14,518 British Mokes incorporated Mini MK1 running gear but the later ones (1967-68) utilised MK2 parts. However, of the 5,422 Austin and 9,096 Morris versions made a mere ten percent or so were 'home market' supplied.

Lot 44

1967 Austin Mini Cooper- Fiesta Yellow with Old English White roof- Stunning restored example- Road legal but prepared with competition in mindIn long term ownership between 1991 and 2015, OML 276E regularly competed in sprints and hill climbs all over the UK until the early 2000s. In 2009, the decision was taken to carry out a full restoration, the stunning result of which can be seen today.In 2011 respected specialists, Somerford Mini, restored the bodyshell at a cost of £12,578. Work included new inner sills, new windscreen apertures, new rear wings and re-skinning of the driver's door. The roll cage was fabricated by Andy Robinson Race Cars to full FIA / MSA specification including beautifully sculpting the door pockets around the cage, before the car was painted in period shade Fiesta Yellow with Old English White roof.Current specification includes: 1380cc engine, twin 1.5" HS4 SU carburettors, MED Ram intake, Stage 3 Swiftune cylinder head ,Swiftune SW10 camshaft, lightened & polished conrods, cross-drilled crankshaft, Mini Superlight flywheel & steel back plate, AP racing clutch plate & cover, Cooper S 4 synchro gearbox with Hardy Spicer output shafts, straight cut transfer gears by MED, 3.9 Final Drive, large capacity bespoke aluminium radiator, Maniflow RCM exhaust system, LCB manifold, high-torque starter, 20-litre Jaz foam-filled tank, Mini Spares 10" Rose Petal wheels, Tarox discs and 4-pot callipers, adjustable suspension, Kent Auto Developments rear anti roll bar, Sparco steering wheel, single Cobra bucket seat and 4-point safety harness. Weighing in at only c.600kgs (wet) it has Lexan windows and a laminated front screen.Since its completion in 2013, 'OML 276E' has been used sparingly on the road and for track days and has not been raced. 'OML 276E' comes with a detailed history file, documenting much expenditure.

Lot 5

1953 Austin A90 Atlantic- A rare survivor and surely the perfect addition to an Austin-Healey stable- Used as a course pace car at the Goodwood Revival in 2016- Original buff log book, registration number, handbooks and workshop manual The Atlantic was a brave attempt by Austin to chime with the Government's 'Export or die' edict courtesy of a car aimed firmly at the American market. Ultimately the unashamed Uncle Sam styling and myriad of innovative features captured just 350 US buyers, and even global sales were limited to 7,981. It is estimated that fewer than 30 remain roadworthy in the UK, making this handsome restored example all the more rare and desirable. Delivered new in 1953 to a Doctor Howard Samson of London it received a bare metal respray in 2013 and has been in the current ownership since 2013. Used as a course pace car at the Goodwood Revival in 2016, the Austin benefits from a stainless steel exhaust, new tyres and a recent brake overhaul, and comes complete with: original buff log book, registration number, handbooks and workshop manual; collection of invoices and old MOTs; plus photos of the restoration. The vendor currently classes the paintwork, bodywork, interior and engine as 'excellent' however advises first gear needs attention. Surely the perfect addition to an Austin-Healey stable.

Lot 79

1966 Austin Mini Cooper S 1275- Delivered new to the supplying dealer, Central Garage of Leeds- Subject to a restoration program that took some 20 years that was completed in 2011- Original service book, owners' manual and displays a credible 69,450 milesThe Mini mania sparked by Paddy Hopkirk's glorious victory on the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally has never really gone away. What's changed in recent times is that serious collectors increasingly insist on their cars being to original or period modified specification and are prepared to pay for the privilege. This delightful Cooper S appears to tick that box nicely. It is a 1966 1275 model, that retains its original Hydrolastic suspension system, three-synchro gearbox, dynamo and positive earth electrical system. It was the subject of a restoration program that took some 20 years, and was completed in 2011. Items of note include: the Webasto sunroof that has been retrimmed by Pickerings of Bradford; reclining front seats courtesy of Newton Commercial; period leather-rimmed Les Leston steering wheel; optional twin fuel tanks; Minilite-style alloy wheels from Mini Spares; and rare 163 cylinder head which, in common with the gearbox, has been overhauled. Other items refurbished since 2011 include the front suspension bushes and joints.This home market Mini is finished in the strident combination of Black roof over Tartan Red bodywork and trimmed in Red/Gold brocade. It was delivered new to the supplying dealer, Central Garage of Leeds, on April 6, 1966 and first registered 'FUM 740D'. The vendor acquired the car in 2011, since when it has dwelt on the Isle of Man with the appropriate registration 'MN 1275' - as he is retaining that number the Mini has now been allocated 'FMN 740D'. The vendor presently grades the bodywork, paintwork and transmission as 'excellent', and the engine and interior trim as 'very good'. He is now offering the car complete with the green continuation log book and original service book and owners' manual, as well as the Tudor Webasto instruction guide and Manx registration document. The odometer currently displays an eminently credible 69,450 miles.

Lot 96

1965 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII- A desirable home market, 'matching numbers' car- Supplied new by Cogger & Hawkins Ltd of Aylesbury complete with wire wheels and overdrive- Recently repainted and re-trimmed with 93,700 recorded milesUnlike many Big Healeys we see these days, `APO 373C is a genuine matching numbers, home market example that came off line in July 1965 destined for the dealer Cogger and Hawkins of Aylesbury, Bucks. It was built with a considerable number of desirable factory-fitted options including: overdrive, wire wheels, adjustable steering column, tonneau cover, laminated windscreen and heater. Fifty two years on, and the mileage stands at an eminently credible (be it unwarranted) total of 93,700. In 2009 the car benefited from an overhaul of its twin SU carburettors and the installation of an electronic ignition system. The gearbox and overdrive unit were overhauled in 2016, and in recent times the Healey has been repainted in its current shade of Blue, retrimmed in Blue-piped Cream hide and treated to a fresh Blue mohair hood. Taking all these improvements into account, the vendor presently views the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, straight-six engine and manual four-speed gearbox as all being `very good' order, and is now selling the 3000 complete with Heritage certificate, collection of old MOT's and invoices plus a fresh MOT certificate.The Austin-Healey 100 was the toast of the 1952 London Motor Show, from when the newcomer enjoyed steady development. The four-cylinder cars gave way to the 100-Six of 1956, which in turn was replaced by the first of the 3000s in 1959. The final iteration was the 3000 MKIII, which was launched in October 1963 and mildly upgraded (Phase 2) in May the following year. The most powerful and luxurious of all the derivatives, it had lively performance courtesy of its 150bhp straight-six engine and featured such niceties as wind up windows and a walnut-veneer facia. 3000 production closed at the end of 1967 after 42,926 had been made, 17,712 of which were MKIIIs.
