Lot 113
- Subject to an extensive ground up restoration - Aluminium wings, doors, boot and bonnet - Quaife limited slip diff, fast road cam and rear disc brakes The most eye-catching of MKI Austin-Healey 3000s, '893 YUY' was the subject of a total nut and bolt restoration between 2008 and 2013. A righthand drive home market example, it was supplied new by Voss Motors of Liverpool on April 18, 1961. Now offered in almost equivalent condition, it is finished in Ecurie Ecosse Blue complemented by a Blue leather interior, carpets and tonneau (a hood and sidescreens are included in the sale). The chassis has been completely refurbished and equipped with new inner and outer sills and adjustable front damper mountings. The major body panels were replaced with new aluminium ones and all brightwork reconditioned or renewed. The reworked cylinder head features hardened valve seats and bronze guides. The block has been re-bored; the crankshaft reground and balanced; and Denis Welch oil pump and timing chain, Piper fast road camshaft and alloy sump installed. Triple HD8 SU carburettors feed an early Works-type inlet manifold, while the boot now houses a new 80-litre alloy fuel tank and Facet pump. The engine exhausts through a Denis Welch manifold, silencer and 2-inch rear-exit pipes. The modified cooling system includes an updated radiator core, alloy expansion tank and five bladed harmonically balanced cooling fan. The overdrive gearbox has been refurbished and equipped with straight cut gears, and now drives through a Quaife limited slip differential. Type 16 brake calipers have been fitted to the front, while discs have replaced drums at the rear and Aeroquip hoses been installed all round. The reconditioned suspension includes poly bushes all round and BJ8 (stronger) front stub axles. Unsurprisingly, the vendor currently considers the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission to all be in 'excellent' order. This unique 'Big' Healey comes complete with a collection of invoices, litre of body colour, standard differential, Heritage Certificate and Letter of Authenticity from the Austin-Healey Club.
Lot 140
- The Linstone Car scratch built from Jaguar factory drawings In many ways the XK120's success, both on and off the track, took Jaguar by surprise. Among the fastest production cars of its day, the model had obvious competition potential but the endurance racing derivative that debuted at the 1951 Le Mans 24-hours was an altogether more specialised machine. Conceived behind closed doors, the XK120-Competition - a.k.a. the C-Type - was considerably faster, lighter and nimbler than its roadgoing sibling. The work of Bob Knight and Malcolm Sayer respectively, the newcomer's sophisticated multi-tubular chassis frame and aerodynamic all-aluminium bodywork allowed it to conquer contemporary Ferrari, Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz opposition. Famous for winning the 1951 and 1953 Le Mans 24-hours, the C-Type may well have triumphed on the 1952 event had Jaguar not chosen to make various unproven modifications. Total C-Type production amounted to just 53 cars but even after Jaguar had turned its attention to the D-Type privateers continued to campaign the older design with considerable success. Unsurprisingly given its beauty, speed and pedigree, the C-Type has inspired numerous imitations. However, very few can be as exacting as The Linstone Car. Just nineteen when he began building racing cars in 1951, Cyril Linstone has yet to stop! Although, his career has been primarily focused upon single-seaters (most famously with Emeryson) he was present at many of the same circuits and meetings as the iconic sports racer in its heyday. Commissioned to build a C-Type copy during the early 1990s, Linstone had a considerable advantage over those attempting the same task either before or after him and that was a set of over 400 detailed factory drawings. It may not happen now but back then a Ford-owned Jaguar were happy to release these blueprints and as such effectively gave their approval to the project. The Linstone Car is estimated to have cost circa £120,000 to create and that is without making a financial allowance for the 3,000 or so hours which Cyril has put into it. Working from factory drawings means that the two-seater incorporates various internal details which a 'tool room' copy would be unlikely to replicate. The Linstone Car's donor identity is that of a green 1964 Jaguar, while its alloy bodywork was fabricated by specialist M.L. Panels whose staff were trained at Bob Smith's renowned R.S. Panels. Indeed, the latter firm were responsible for crafting the radiator grille at a cost of several thousand pounds. Sporting an authentic C-type sump, Lucas Special Equipment competition dynamo and twin sand-cast SU carburettors (complete with cold air box), the 3.4 litre straight-six XK DOHC engine has done very little mileage since being thoroughly overhauled by Peter Lander of Sigma Engineering. Allied to a correct-type four-speed manual gearbox, it is understood to develop some 250bhp. The factory drawings were adhered to in a devoted manner. Thus, The Linstone Car utilises needle roller bearings in its pedal assembly (rather than bronze bushes) and a special reverse-engineered universal joint in its steering column not to mention the correct mounts for its instruments etc. More obvious features include a correct-type fuel tank, side-exit exhaust and aluminium-rimmed competition wire wheels. Completed in 2013, plans to race the two-seater have been laid aside. Nonetheless, it possesses a valid FIA Historic Technical Passport. The subject of an article in an upcoming issue of Octane magazine and quite simply the best C-Type Evocation we have had the pleasure of offering, The Linstone Car is worthy of close inspection.

- Beautifully restored example showing less than 20 miles covered since completion - Engine by Cox & Turner and transmission by R Whitehouse & Son - Rare Fairey Capstan Winch fitted to front Many consider the 86 to be the best of the Series 1 Land Rovers, and this example has recently exited a total nut and bolt restoration of the highest standard, regardless of cost, with the aim of preserving it for the next 60 years. The 2-litre 'spread bore' engine has been completely refurbished by one of the most respected specialists and finished in the correct Grey enamel. The gearbox and transfer case have been similarly restored. The clutch and fuel system are new and a stainless steel exhaust system and replacement solid state fuel pump have been installed. All the wiring has been replaced, and the nuts, bolts and general fittings re-plated. All galvanised parts have also been re-plated and refitted using the correct rivets. The bodywork has been carefully restored with some replacement panels; the paintwork meticulously prepared, with all components etch-primed, undercoated, and finished in two-pack Bronze Green. The galvanized chassis is finished in the same colour. The bulkhead is said to be in 'perfect condition' and the Landie has been fitted with the later Burman recirculating ball steering box. The brake system features all new components, the spring and shackle assemblies have been replaced, and the steering wheel and instruments have been refurbished, while the seats and hood are new replacements courtesy of Exmoor Trim. The vehicle sports a new set of five original-pattern 6.00x16 Avon TM tubed tyres supplied by Vintage Tyres of Beaulieu. The Land Rover's overall specification is very much as original, apart from the provision of flashing indicators, Fairey capstan winch and the electrical connections for a tow bar, should one be required. A wonderful early example of a breed that's set to die out at the end of this year. Having covered less than 20 miles since completion this stunning Landie is quite simply amazing to behold.

- Restored on a new chassis in 2014 - Finished in Deep Bronze Green with Limestone roof - MoT to March 2016 and said to drive "excellently" A sympathetic update of its much loved predecessor, the Land Rover Series II was introduced in April 1958. Featuring sill panels and a rounded wing / belt line, the body was the work of David Bache and clothed an improved chassis. As well as sharper steering, the Series II boasted wider axles and a new gearbox with synchromesh on 3rd and 4th gears. Available with a choice of 2.25-litre petrol (as here) or 2-litre diesel engines, the Series II accounted for some 62,000 sales in its first two years of production. Announced in 1961, the subtly upgraded Series IIA benefited from an improved cooling system. Finished in Deep Bronze Green with Limestone roof and black interior, we are advised this 1964 example was painstakingly restored around a new chassis in 2014 and features a new interior and canvas top. Described as being "very nicely detailed" and "driving excellently" she is offered with Swansea V5C and MoT to March 2016.
