1963 Aston Martin Lagonda Rapide Sports Saloon Registration no. not registered Chassis no. LR/135/R Engine no. 400/135•One of only 55 made•Delivered new in the UK•Stored since acquisition in 2008•Requires re-commissioningFootnotes:Aston Martin revived famous Lagonda name in 1961 with a luxurious four-door sports saloon that took its appellation from one of the marque's most exalted models of the late 1930s: the Rapide. This new car was very much David Brown's personal project. The Rapide's sales brochure, which, unusually, was signed by him personally, stated: 'It has long been my ambition to build a car which would be equally suitable to drive or be driven in...'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 re-engineered 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, 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. Chassis number '135' was completed in August 1963 and sold via Brooklands of Bond Street to first owners Howard Fairbairn & Partners of Knightsbridge, London. Accompanying build details show that the car was finished in Goodwood Green with fawn interior trim and equipped with a Motorola radio and armrests to the inside of both front seats. The Rapide has had several different UK and overseas registrations since. In 1988 ownership passed to one Andrew van Nimwegen of Norfolk, while the AMOC Register (published 2000) records the owner at that time as L Cesteleyn in Belgium. The current owner purchased the Lagonda from K Den Haan in Belgium on 31st January 2008 (copy bill of sale on file, as well as old Belgian registration). Kept in storage since acquisition, the car will require re-commissioning before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed.

CHARLES LEVY SASPORTAS (Montmorency, 1877- Paris, 1968).Untitled, 1918.Oil on canvas.It has restorations and a small tear in the canvas on the left edge.Size: 122 x 92 cm; 129 x 98 cm (frame).In this canvas the painter offers us an expressive female portrait, starring a woman with a black dress, in which dominates a wide neckline, adorned with a white brocade. The woman also wears a pearl necklace and matching earrings, and is adorned with a rose that stands out for its brilliant colour against the black.In the 18th century, European portraiture was varied and wide-ranging, with numerous influences and largely determined by the tastes of both the clientele and the painter himself. However, this century saw the birth of a new concept of portraiture, which evolved throughout the century and unified all the national schools: the desire to capture the personality of the human being and his character, beyond his external reality and social rank, in his effigy. The 18th century reacted against the rigid etiquette of the previous century with a more human and individual conception of life, and this was reflected in all areas, from furniture, which became smaller and more comfortable, replacing the large gilded and carved pieces of furniture, to the portrait itself, which, as we see here, came to dispense with all symbolic or scenographic elements in order to depict the individual rather than the personage.Charles Levy Sasportas was an outstanding portrait painter, famous for painting high society figures in New England and France or New York, where he had a studio in Central Park, and in 1933 Villa Comtadine published a brochure entitled: "CHARLES L. SASPORTAS DE PARIS, FRANCE Portrait Painter", thus gaining great recognition from the prevailing social class. Sasportas was a member of the Societe des Artistes Francais.His portraits can be found in important private and public collections, including the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery of the United States, which holds a 1949 painting of General Jonathan Wainwright by Sasportas, as well as portraits of William Henry Hoover and Emily Lowe. The National Society of Colonial Dames of America in Illinois owns a 1915 portrait of Katherine Carpenter Birmingham.
The Bjorn Waldegard/Hans Thorszelious, 1982 Motogard Rally of New Zealand-winning, Team Toyota Celica GT (#TC3) discovered and sympathetically restored to the way it was.During the Eighties, the World Rally Championship activities of Toyota Team Europe (TTE) continued to be as selective as they had been in the previous decade. The team’s calendar was largely dependent on national marketing requirements, plus the suitability of each event to the RA40 Celica 2000 GT that the team was campaigning in the top Group 4 category.The first couple of years were frustrating for Toyota as the naturally-aspirated Celica struggled to compete against a new generation of turbocharged rally cars that had started to emerge. Swedish manufacturer Saab was the first to adopt forced induction, winning its home rally in 1978 using a turbocharged front-wheel drive car, and Renault had won the 1981 Monte Carlo Rally using a turbocharged super-mini converted to rear-wheel drive. Most dramatic of all, however, Audi had started winning rallies with its new turbocharged four-wheel drive model.At WRC level, there was little that Toyota could do to become immediately competitive on the global scene. Patience was necessary because, behind the scenes, an all-new turbocharged Toyota Celica was being developed by TTE at its new base in Cologne, Germany, ready for homologation and a planned launch in 1983.However, with the new car still some way off, Toyota’s fortunes had begun to change when two examples of the new third-generation RA63 Celica 2000GT shocked the rallying fraternity by delivering an impressive result in the Group 4 class of the 1982 South Swedish Rally. Still naturally-aspirated, the coupés finished in second and third place overall in the hands of local drivers Leif Asterhag and Björn Waldegård. A little over a month later, a further development of the RA63 Celica was applied in time for the 1982 Motogard Rally of New Zealand. Though not immediately obvious from an external perspective, TTE had shifted the engine and powertrain slightly further back within the chassis of the two cars, thereby dramatically improving their traction.The Motogard Rally was not a happy event for some – Lancia failed to enter, Opel only sent one car and both Audi models experienced mechanical issues which put them out of contention – but drivers Björn Waldegård and Per Eklund put in a resounding one-two finish that marked an important historic victory for Toyota. The Celica had been campaigning in world rallying for ten years, yet this event in New Zealand was the first WRC win for the hard-working model.And that winning car is here today.Our articulate vendor has very kindly sent us an email describing his time with the Celica and we think it’s altogether more personal if we quote from it here:''The car was built in late 1981 at TTE (Toyota Team Europe) in Germany and rallied in the WRC during 1982. It was then sold some time later to the Al Kharusi brothers in Muscat Oman who rallied it for a few years. They subsequently sold it to the previous recorded keeper to me who carried on rallying it in the Middle East until bringing it to the UK in 1991. He then rallied it here until it retired from the Kent rally in the October of 1991. A little later he bestowed it to his friend and moved to America. It sat in his garage until 2009 when I purchased it. I also went out and bought two standard road cars for spare panels and parts. I still have one that will be free to the new owner along with many original works factory parts including suspension, steering, brakes, a gearbox, the original Kevlar sump guard plus other spares. I then went about stripping the car down to a bare shell, had it sand blasted and rectified any corrosion (which wasn't a lot) but without hiding any of the rallying history to the underneath apart from replacing the outer sill panels, the very lower rear quarter panels and spare wheel well. The two New Zealand cars had the engine and drive train set further and lower back and its clear to see where this was on the gearbox tunnel, bulkhead and the engine sump in relation to the steering rack. I then had new wheel arches made by a specialist and replaced all the bolt on panels and doors. Resprayed it in its original livery and then reassembled it. Importantly I have a couple of photos showing its original colours underneath as I sanded an area down on the back wing plus many other pictures before stripping it down which is how I can be sure it's an original factory shell. There are not many 40-year-old works rally cars you can say that about! Also, at this time I contacted TTE in Germany about my car and left them the chassis number. The next morning, I had a call from a really nice chap called John Day to discuss it and he was quite surprised to hear of the car because it had been off the radar for so long. He told me TC2 and TC3 had done the NZ rally and Bjorn had driven TC3. He also told me that SS at the start of the engine number stood for Super Swede who was the Swedish engine builder. I then took and sent him many photos at various different angles of the car and technical parts along with engine and gearbox numbers in between various phone calls asking for different angles. This went on for a week or so until then I heard nothing for a couple of weeks until I received via air mail a certificate of origin showing my car as TC3. At this point I realised it to be the first Celica in the world to win a WRC event. It wasn't until a while later that I noticed TC3 stamped on various parts including a welded in part of the shell. I also have other photographic evidence which makes me believe it also did the RAC rally the same year. The next year I met Bjorn Waldegard and Ernst Kopp (the other signatory on the certificate of origin to John Day from TTE) at Goodwood Festival of Speed and spoke with them about the car and how they remembered when they were building the cars that Ove Anderson who was in charge at the time, was so obsessed with keeping the weight of the cars to a minimum that he made the mechanics sand down all the panels trying to make them paper thin. We had a chat for a while and then Bjorn kindly signed a few photos of the car which will go with the car as well as a couple of magazines from the period and a Toyota Rally brochure. These are all the facts as I understand them and am happy to answer any other questions that may arise."As the first Celica in the world to win a WRC event, TC3 is an important part of Toyota and World Rallying history. Sensitively restored by our vendor, it's now ready to be used as its next owner sees fit, as part of a collection, car club rallies, Goodwood Festival of Speed, Group 4 events or simply to be enjoyed as a road car. Your earliest inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate this very special Celica.

A simply stunning Stingray Big-Block, the subject of a superb restoration over a period of years.The iconic Chevrolet Corvette (named after a small, manoeuvrable warship) has now been in production for eight generations with enormous pedigree and style. The first model was a convertible penned by designer Harley Earl and was introduced in 1953 at the GM Motorama as a concept show car. The C2 Corvette, which followed was produced between 1963 and 1967 and it is, perhaps, this car that is most entrenched in American automotive history with its dramatic styling, deeply scalloped side panels and the evocative Sting Ray model name. The C3 arrived in 1968 with a slight name change to Stingray although it closely followed the design of the Mako Shark II concept car. The new C3 displayed a number of innovative features including vacuum operation of the headlights, a shield to conceal the wipers when not in use and 17 inch wheels as standard. The chassis, fully independent suspension and disc brakes were carried over from the C2 and the car was offered with a choice of engine sizes and 4-speed manual or 3-speed automatic gearboxes.This fabulous, 3rd-Generation Corvette is fitted with the ultra-desirable, big-block 454ci engine that produced 365bhp/ 460lbs ft when new. It's resplendent in Bridgehampton Blue enhanced by eye-catching chrome side-exit exhausts, chrome grilles and huge chromed Turbine wheels. The car was the subject of a long-term no compromise restoration taking around ten years and at a cost approaching £60,000 some years ago. It's accompanied by a substantial history file with photographic records of the restoration, numerous MOTs and an very rare 1971 brochure of the model. Since being restored, it has been in the hands of its last two keepers for some years and used and enjoyed extensively being driven across the UK and Europe, attending many rallies and events and always drawing admiring glances. The car features an easily removable Targa Top, stored inside comfortably, the fit and finish of which reaffirms the quality of its restoration. There is none of the tugging, levering or fighting required on many examples, simply drop the handle and the panels slide out to reveal the wonderful interior.The Corvette has become widely known as America's Sports Car and has become synonymous with freedom and adventure, ultimately becoming both the most successful concept car in history and the most popular sports car in history and it's not hard to see why with the deep burble of that confidence-inspiring V8, the wind in your hair, the sun reflecting off the gleaming Bridgehampton Blue bonnet along with the feeling of being in control of one of the most evocative pieces of automobile Americana ever.Everyone needs a Vette in their life for a couple of Summers and we can't think of a better opportunity.SpecificationMake: CHEVROLETModel: CORVETTE STINGRAYYear: 1971Chassis Number: 194371S107883Registration Number: FVG 311JTransmission: AutomaticEngine Number: 194371S107883Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 15200 MilesMake: Only LHDInterior Colour: LeatherClick here for more details and images

The odometer currently shows 49,760 miles and the car's MoT is valid until April 2023, despite the fact that, as an historic vehicle, it no longer requires MoT testing. The paperwork folder includes the current and some past V5Cs, period brochure with a W123 Mercedes in Cayenne Orange on the front, and assorted invoices. These include one from May 2022 for a Stromberg carburettor repair kit, a 2019 bill for replacement of the water pump, and a further 2019 receipt for new front and rear brake pads and a fuel system clean. The invoices in general date back to 2019. As well as the current MoT certificate, there are ones from 2004 back to 1991. The original book pack is also in the file, with owner's manual, radio instructions, dealer guide and service book stamped up to 33,133 miles in August 1994.

It has recently had a new MoT put on it - valid until June 2023 - and the vendor describes it as a 'future classic that drives well'. The car has recently been treated to a new cambelt, oil and filter, and rear brake cylinders, with recent invoice for the commissioning work totalling over £700. Registered in May 1993, the Rover has had four previous registered keepers and its odometer shows 39,675 miles, which can be largely warranted from the available history. The paperwork file includes the V5C and book pack with owner's handbook, dealer directory, radio code, quick guide, and radio instructions. There's the current MoT certificate plus a print-out of the online summary from 2008 to 2006, along with the certificates from 2008 and 2006 to 2002. The invoices date from 2007 back to 1994, when the Metro was sold via Mann Egerton as a one-year-old secondhand car.

1966 Morris Minor 1000 ConvertibleMake: Morris Minor Model: 1000 Convertible Year: 1966Mileage: 17000VIN: MATSD1146324Configuration: Right Hand DriveRegistration: GKM728DTransmission: manualThis Morris Minor was in the ownership of the same family from 1996 through to 2019. When purchased in 1996, it was in a dilapidated condition; Practical Classics magazine covered its story that same year. The owner had C J Kyte of Shrewsbury undertake an extensive restoration during 1996, after which the car participated in the London to Brighton Classic Car Run the following year. The Minor's first owner was the Duke of Bedford (of Woburn Abbey), and his ownership details are retained in the history file. The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate declares the car to have been Old English White with Cherokee red trim when new. The hood is red mohair. The mileage showing on the odometer is 17,580 and five former registered keepers are recorded on the V5C. The last MoT expired in July 2022, although as an historic vehicle, the Morris no longer requires annual testing. The history folder includes the V5C, London to Brighton Run photo and entrant letter, Morris Minor Owners' Club appraisal, owner's correspondence, restoration information, MoTs from 1997 to 2020, various tax discs between 1980 and 2013, original sales brochure, a great many receipts and invoices, and various other documents. There is also a February 2022 in-depth appraisal of the vehicle by Classic Assessments which summarises the Minor's condition as in 'sound, useable and presentable order'.
