Inspired by the engineering integrity behind the famous Autogyro 'Little Nellie' from the James Bond film You Only Live Twice, a hand-built upgraded Classic Defender 90 with a huge specification.   Wallis & Son have had a long-term love affair with the Land Rover Brand, particularly the Defender. Having bespoke-built a couple of one-off Land Rovers some 15 or so years ago, it slowly turned into a passion and during the 2020 COVID pandemic, Wallis & Son 'pressed the reset button' on a couple of its departments creating Wallis Defenders Sales Department and indeed Built by Wallis Defenders Workshop - successfully building and selling high-quality Defenders under the Wallis name.The evolution continued into their new prestige, full custom-build division, GYRO, where only the highest level of build is accepted. The brand name GYRO is inspired by Wing Commander Ken Wallis DSO MBE, the decorated engineer/aviator whose creation ‘Little Nellie’ was the famous Autogyro flown in the James Bond film, You Only Live Twice. The Wallis’ family pedigree in engineering has much influenced the high quality, integrity and finish to the Defenders it now produces. GYRO Defenders are lovingly hand-built at their Cambridge workshop and all build projects strive to use British-made and supplied parts throughout the conversion process. Hand-picked Defenders from the Wallis stock are transformed into bespoke one-off machines (with all-known Defender weak spots being covered-off) to bring the vehicle, as much as possible, back to being a new (and improved) machine. Only premium parts are used in these builds and each example is always signed off by Mr Wallis himself when finished.The vehicle presented here is a 2015 Land Rover Defender 90 County 2.2-litre #002 GYRO Edition by Wallis Defenders. It started life as a low-owner, low-mileage Defender 90 County, before entering the Built by Wallis Defenders Workshop. Here it received a ‘no-expense-spared’ conversion (photos available) with a huge, high-end specification including LOF brake components and clutch kit, an On-Airs fully adjustable air suspension system, a Demand custom exhaust, Optimills billet hinge kits, new 18" wheels (with BF Goodrich tyres), a panoramic roof, panoramic side, rear quarter and rear glass, full sound insulation, a Stage 3 premium audio (including a Pioneer Double Din Apple CarPlay unit with DAB Radio) installation and a reversing camera (full details available on request).Also benefiting from comprehensive servicing (including differential and C-service), plus the replacement of consumables, this Defender drives as well as it presents.With 2015 being the Classic Defender's final year of production, the last of the line models (the most evolved) are now quite rightly in demand, with the modern JLR incarnation somewhat lacking the ‘character’ that owners often mention. What an opportunity this is, then, to acquire a ‘real’ Land Rover Defender, the likes of which we may never see again, with both a plethora of mechanical and cosmetic upgrades, a full recommissioning, mileage, condition and a backstory that would be difficult to replicate.Specification Make: LAND ROVER Model: DEFENDER 90 2.2-LITRE #002 GYRO EDITION Year: 2015 Chassis Number: SALLDWBP7FA473544 Registration Number: DN15 XKX Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 150420031224DT224 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 25000 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images

Perhaps the only class-winning rally car with a velour interior, a unique offering from The Stuttgart Collection, a UK-press car that was to become famous kicking up dirt. The Stuttgart Collection is a carefully curated selection of cars that were once part of a larger, private, UK-based Mercedes-Benz museum. The cars presented to auction offer a unique opportunity to own arguably the best examples available in today’s market. From the fabulous 500SL delivered new to Sir Stirling Moss himself with a later Mercedes F1 starring role to the modest 230 E saloon at a tantalising No Reserve, each car is on the button with unrivalled history files that detail the diligent maintenance from new.The Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC was the first V8-engined car and the first automatic to win a World Rally Championship event in a career that was short but impressive and the well publicised story behind this car is fascinating. But first, some history of the SL (R107) and SLC (C107) models, which came in a variety of nomenclatures indicating the displacement of the engines. When Mercedes-Benz returned to Works rallying in the 1970s, they needed to homologate the 450 SLC’s new 5-litre V8 rally car and thus the 450 SLC 5.0 was launched, with just 1,636 built between September 1977 and March 1980.The story of this particular car started when it was supplied as a UK-press car in Icon Gold and registered as LLC 432P on 22nd August 1975, featuring on the front page of Motors magazine’s 1976 May edition alongside a Jaguar XJ-S in a head-to-head road test. A fascinating article in the April 2019 edition of Classic Cars Magazine recounts the story of a young graduate, Jonathan Ashman, working at the Brentford Mercedes-Benz dealership, who asked if he could have the SLC as a daily driver, with a view of entering the car into the 1976 Tour of Britain Rally. During an era when cars required far fewer modifications than today, just a sump guard, roll cage and some tweaks to the suspension and brakes were made at a friend’s workshop before testing at Silverstone.As the car was still owned by Mercedes, the moment LLC 432P roared away from the start line, the young driver in his company car accidentally drew the company back into motorsport, in a semi-official way, for the first time since 1954. Jonathan’s success caught the attention of the factory, who started to draw up plans for the 5-litre rally version, leading to the later homologation cars. Worthy of a screenplay in and of itself, this former Icon Gold press car, first rallied by a cheeky young graduate, led to a new model and a short-lived but impressive rally career for the SLC. Starring in adverts and later campaigned as The Doggarts car in black, many period photographs of the car abound on the internet.Joining the Collection in 2021, the car was later road-tested by motoring journalist Jonny Smith on his YouTube channel and is presented to auction in fabulous condition, in period livery as magazine-featured, with a detailed history file, and showing 63,116 miles on the odometer.Specification Make: MERCEDES Model: R107 SLC Year: 1975 Chassis Number: 10702422010065 Registration Number: LLC 432P Transmission: Automatic Engine Number: 11798222035927 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 62000 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Tan VelourClick here for more details and images

On offer from the Focus on Ford Collection, a delivery mileage, single ownership Focus RS Mk1 in exceptional condition. In 2002, Ford launched the Focus RS, returning those famous letters to one of its cars for the first time since the Ford Escort RS Cosworth. The new Focus RS was inspired by Colin McRae's WRC rally exploits and featured a 2-litre Duratec RS engine with an advanced turbocharging system and oil-spray cooled pistons to achieve more power - which eventually peaked at 215bhp and 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds. The chassis was developed and a Quaife torque-biasing differential (when you turned into a corner and applied the power, it dug in like no other front-drive car to make the Focus remarkably quick across country) fitted to ensure optimal front-wheel drive tractability. Suspension was by uprated offset coil springs with Sachs Racing dampers whilst stopping power was provided by Brembo brakes. The cabin was competition-inspired and featured leather and Alcantara Sparco seats. Only sold in Imperial Blue, the exterior shared many styling cues with its rally sibling and even used custom 18'' O.Z. Racing alloy wheels.Making the Focus RS this good on back roads meant changing almost every component. In the end, the roof, doors and bonnet remained the same as any other three-door Focus, but the rest of the exterior bodywork was new. In all, 521 parts were created just for the Focus RS, from the Sparco seats and handbrake lever, unique dials and starter button to the suspension and brakes. Ford built 4,501 Focus RS Mk1s, all individually numbered and all thought to have been sold at a £4,000 loss to the company. Out of that total, 2,147 RS Mk1s were sold in the UK, making it by far the biggest single market, and although the car may still split drivers' views, what isn’t in doubt is that this is now a prized modern classic.The gleaming 2003 Focus RS Mk 1 on offer here is finished in Imperial Blue, as they all were, with the Sparco front seats trimmed in contrasting black and blue leather with Alcantara inserts. The rear seats are similarly trimmed and the handbrake and gear knob are finished in machined aluminium. The interior is further enhanced by the addition of carbon fibre to the gear stick surround and the door cards have blue-trimmed inserts. The odometer reading when the car was consigned indicated 13 miles from new although this may go up slightly as the car is moved around the sale.The Performance Fords on offer today from the Focus on Ford Collection have remained in storage for a number of years but, despite having only covered delivery mileage, our vendors took the sensible decision to bring them to sale in the very best condition possible and ready to drive away. Their recommissioning has been carried out by the respected Tremona Garage of Southampton and has involved a meticulous inspection of each car, commencing with a check for contamination of fuel. Subsequently the engine oil and filter were changed, spark plugs changed, air, pollen and fuel filters replaced, gearbox oil replaced, as well as the cambelt, idler and tensioner being replaced. The alternator belt was replaced and brake fluid and anti-freeze renewed. Only genuine Ford parts were used. Checks were also carried out on the fuel pumps and ECUs, the brake system and all electrics were tested, and new batteries were fitted in the cars as well as in the keys.Finally, once satisfied that the car was ready to be driven, they have been sensitively valeted to maintain the 'fresh from the showroom' look, so factory stickers and plastic trim covers remain in place and the cars have been cleaned to a standard one might expect at initial delivery. However, it will not have a current MOT as our vendor has chosen not to register the car on the MOT system, leaving that decision to its new owner.Specification Make: FORD Model: FOCUS RS Year: 2003 Chassis Number: WF0BXXGCDB3S85093 Registration Number: TB53 FRS Transmission: Manual Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 16 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Black Blue Leather and AlcantaraClick here for more details and images

Offered from The Stuttgart Collection as one of the finest examples we have seen. The Stuttgart Collection is a carefully curated selection of cars that were once part of a larger, private, UK-based Mercedes-Benz museum. The cars presented to auction offer a unique opportunity to own arguably the best examples available in today’s market. From the fabulous 500SL delivered new to Sir Stirling Moss himself with a later Mercedes F1 starring role to the modest 230 E saloon at a tantalising No Reserve, each car is on the button with unrivalled history files that detail the diligent maintenance from new.The Mercedes-Benz W116 range was produced between 1972 and 1980 and the first model to officially carry S-Class nomenclature, the S derived from the word ‘sonderklasse’, meaning 'special class'. If the S was partnered with an E, then the car was fitted with fuel-injection, or ‘einspritzung’ and if it was tailed with an L, then it was the long wheelbase model. The W116 range offered smaller engines in the line up on standard wheelbases, but it was the 450 SEL, with its 4.5-litre V8 engine and extra legroom, that filled the gap in the market between the expensively ostentatious Silver Shadow and the cheaper but thirsty V12 Daimler. Performance was comparable and the build quality set an industry benchmark, whilst the three-pronged star remained aspirational for a new generation. Produced between 1973 and 1980 the 450 SEL was the third most popular W116 model with 59,578 cars sold.As ever with a popular car, very few remain today in this condition, rarer still as a right-hand drive car and naturally, UK-supplied cars have faired the worst due to our weather. Cars of this era, in this condition are rare but occasionally available, only found however, when the first owner and subsequent custodians have cherished it. As such, this UK-supplied 450 SEL in Magnetite Blue metallic with a dark blue velour interior is a testament to the car’s first owner, the inventor of the jubilee clip no less, who took delivery on 21st September 1979, remaining with the family until 2016. Joining the Collection in 2022, the car is presented to auction with V5C and a very detailed history file. The mileage at the time of cataloguing was 55,124 miles.Highly prized in this condition and less thirsty than its bigger 6.9-litre brother, closer inspection is very much welcomed.Specification Make: MERCEDES Model: W116 SEL Year: 1979 Chassis Number: 11603322094373 Registration Number: CYV 563V Transmission: Automatic Engine Number: 11798622049971 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 55100 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Dark Blue VelourClick here for more details and images

A rare UK-supplied survivor and worthy of The Stuttgart Collection due to its condition and service record, at No Reserve it deserves attention. The Stuttgart Collection is a carefully curated selection of cars that were once part of a larger, private, UK-based Mercedes-Benz museum. The cars presented to auction offer a unique opportunity to own arguably the best examples available in today’s market. From the fabulous 500SL delivered new to Sir Stirling Moss himself with a later Mercedes F1 starring role to the modest 230 E saloon at a tantalising No Reserve, each car is on the button with unrivalled history files that detail the diligent maintenance from new.The Mercedes-Benz W123 was a range of executive cars produced by Mercedes-Benz from November 1975 to January 1986. The W123 surpassed its predecessor, the  W114, as the most successful Mercedes ever, at the time, selling 2.7 million units before production ended in the autumn of 1985 for the saloon versions and January 1986 for coupés and estates/station wagons. Following a slow production build-up during the first year, customers who placed their orders faced a lengthy waiting period of nine to twelve months and a black market emerged for customers who were willing to pay more for immediate delivery.Like its predecessors, the W123 gained the reputation of being well built and reliable, many taxi companies chose the W123, and they were a common sight in Germany. Reaching 500,000 or even 1,000,000km with only minor mechanical issues was common with taxicabs. Once the W123 reached the end of its service life, they were often shipped to Africa and third world countries where they were highly esteemed for their ability to travel on rough roads and to not require frequent maintenance.Finished in Light Ivory  with a Henna Red velour interior and first registered on the 5th August 1985, this impressive 230E is mated to a delightful 4-speed manual gearbox which drives through its original ‘Mexican Hat’ alloy wheels lined with new Continental tyres. The body and underside are free of structural rust, the paintwork presents very well and the interior is delightful. Mechanically the car is sound and performs wonderfully on the road. The history file contains the vehicle's service booklet, complete with at least ten Mercedes-Benz stamps amongst other specialist garages. Recent remedial works include a new starter motor, all new tyres, battery and a new exhaust system.Presented to auction at No Reserve with an odometer reading of 81,176 miles this is a rare opportunity for those wanting a stylish useable classic with a timeless look and analogue electronics.Specification Make: MERCEDES Model: W123 E Year: 1985 Chassis Number: WDB1232232A260600 Registration Number: C543 GOA Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 10298020177429 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 81200 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Henna Red VelourClick here for more details and images

**Saleroom Notice - Please note there is an element of finishing work required to the radiator, driveshafts and oil system. Because of this the estimate has been lowered to £17,000 - £20,000. Required parts are included in the sale.** An historically significant car, one of the very first, freshly rebuilt and HSCC-eligible. Formula Ford 1600 has pride of place as the world’s most successful single seater formula. The brainchild of Walter Hayes, Ford’s Marketing Director who saw the potential of using a blueprinted 1,600cc Kent engine mated to a thoroughbred single seater to create the ultimate level playing field for emerging talent. The rules were simple, tubular space frame chassis (from any manufacturer), four gears, control tyres and steel brakes. The result took the world by storm and the formula counts names such as Senna, Schumacher, Fittipaldi, Hakkinen, Button, Räikkönen and Hill among its alumni. Founded by Alex Francis and Bill Harris, Alexis first made an impact in Formula Junior racing in the early 1960s, building cars for its in-house Team Alexis, however, their decision to become involved with Formula Ford was the right one, proving an outstanding success both competitively and commercially. The firm’s first FF design was the 'Russell-Alexis' (retrospectively known as the Mk14) following a deal struck to supply cars for the Jim Russell Racing Drivers School, hence the name. The first Formula Ford race was held at Brands Hatch on 2nd July 1967 and the Alexis Mk14 went on to win more races in the following 12 months than any other contender, comfortably eclipsing its main rival, the Lotus 51. The Russell-Alexis evolved into the Alexis Mk15 late in 1968 and this model was the firm’s frontline FF contender for the 1969 season.This beautiful Mk15 is eligible for HSCC’s ever-popular Historic FF1600 championship and is offered fresh from a substantial rebuild by Iain Rowley at Delta Motorsport to a high standard. No stone went unturned in the car’s reconstruction which now boasts a zero miles Barnett engine and a zero miles refreshed Hewland Mk8 gearbox with new input shaft. Meanwhile the chassis has been freshly powder-coated and bodywork all resprayed to a high standard. Brand new dampers and springs take care of the suspension, which also features all new rose-joints and bearings. Additionally, the following are all new: drive shafts, instruments, extinguisher, belts, wheels & tyres, brake callipers and pads, exhaust, brake and clutch lines, clutch release bearing, master cylinders and the battery.Professionally prepared and beautifully presented, this little Alexis is offered 'on the button' and after a spanner check, ready to race.

After an absence of three years, Chevron returned to F3 in 1976 with a B20 Formula Atlantic car converted to F3-spec with the addition of a Novamotor Toyota engine and designated B34. Derek Bennett and Paul Owens carried out a systematic development programme on this wide-tracked car and all this work paid off when the Works-backed Trivellato run team soon showed the car was a winner with their new star, Riccardo Patrese, at the wheel. As soon as the car started winning, other orders followed and Geoff Lees in a semi-works car as well as Rupert Keegan soon showed the B34’s pace in UK races.The B38 was a refinement of the B34 and was to prove very successful indeed, with some 20 race wins with only rivals, Ralt, winning more. Due to the success of the 1976 car, a lot of top drivers were tempted over to the B38 and they were to be successful all over Europe. Derek Daly won one of the British titles and Elio de Angelis took the Italian championship. The chassis was a bathtub-style monocoque with detachable subframes, front suspension by double wishbones with transverse links and wishbones and radius rods at the rear. It had excellent braking capabilities and its wide track inspired driver confidence, especially in the rain. 28 B38s were built in total.This exceptionally pretty and original Chevron F3 (B38-77-01) is the Elio de Angelis championship-winning car from the 1977 Italian Formula 3 Championship and his 1978 Monaco Formula 3 race winner. The F3 race that supported the Grand Prix was always incredibly competitive and Elio’s win that year in this car was undoubtedly the springboard to his stellar career in Formula 1 with Shadow, Lotus and Brabham.B38-77-01 still retains its original tub which is a testament to the care and maintenance enjoyed by this lovely F3 that was originally set up by multiple Grand Prix winner, Carlos Reutemann, at Ferrari’s Fiorano track before its 1978 Monaco Grand Prix win. Although nothing to do with the car, the interest provenance is further enhanced by the infamous kidnapping in Sardinia of Elio’s father and his subsequent release brokered by Don Sergio Mantovani, the parish priest of Modena, all of which is documented in the history file.Our vendor has participated in the Monaco Historique Grand Prix weekend on three occasions with 38-77-01 and undoubtedly this fittingly historied Chevron F3 would gain an entry should Formula 3s be invited to support the Grand Prix in the future.The engine was rebuilt by Craig Beck and the gearbox by Mark Bailey in 2022 and the car’s only outing since was the Goodwood Spring Sprint in 2023, meaning that the rebuilt engine and gearbox have covered less than ten miles. A fresh FIA HTP has just been issued and is valid until 31st December 2034. There is a spares package with the car that includes two sets of rims with used slicks, a fully painted and decalled nose cone, two front splitters, a nose support frame, set-up jigs, spare radiator and some Hewland gear ratios.All in all, this is a delightful Formula 3 with a lovely history, on the button with new FIA papers and a ticket for Monaco when F3 returns to the program.Specification Make: CHEVRON Model: B38 Year: 1977 Chassis Number: B38-77-01 Registration Number: N/A Transmission: Manual Make: Click here for more details and images
