Registration : 755 YUS Chassis Number : 104537 Engine Number : 101387 Odometer reading : 43,559 km Estimate : £5,500 - £7,000 In 1954, Velam acquired a licence from Iso to manufacture a car based on the Isetta. Since Iso had sold the body making equipment to BMW, Velam developed their own body but used the original Iso engine. The Velam body was rounder and more egg-like than Iso's Isetta and was known by the French as the 'yoghurt pot'. Instead of a chassis like the Italian and German versions, there was a sub-frame bolted to the body at the rear which held the rear tyres, engine and transmission. The front suspension was bolted to the front of the body. The front door was opened by a push button instead of a handle and the speedometer was mounted in the centre of the steering wheel. Velam started production of the car in 1955 at the Old Talbot Factory at Suresnes, France and the car was introduced at the 1955 Paris Car Show. This Isetta Velam is an unfinished project although the body appears to be in sound condition and everything seems to be present in order to finish the car off. The engine is in place and the parts not currently fitted will be supplied with the car. Isetta Velams' are very rare with only 7,115 manufactured from June 1955 through to January 1958. It is not known how many have survived and this is the first one we have ever seen. A great opportunity to acquire a micro-car that will create even more interest than usual.
Registration : R111 LPG Chassis Number : VF8DE0T0226523906 Engine Number : F133644 Estimate : No Reserve Renault wowed the crowds and the motoring press with their 2+2 Coupe GT MPV concept when they revealed their Matra inspired styling exercise at the Paris Motor Show in 1998. The concept by Patrick Le Quement was boldly taken into production largely unchanged. Featuring design ahead of its time the Avantime (French word "Avant" meaning "ahead" with English word "time") was packed full of luxuries, safety features and advanced engineering. Highlights included unique double-hinged 'kinematic' pillarless doors allowing easy access to the front and rear seats (even when tightly parked), the worlds largest opening glass sunroof at the time (a full 1m/sq of opening roof) featuring strengthened heat-reflecting glass, theatre seating (rear positioned higher than the front), galvanised steel chassis with aluminium upper structure, cavernous 530 litre boot, xenon headlights, a 'grand air' button which simultaneously opened all pillarless windows and sunroof, and finally a choice of powerful engines (3.0 V6 or 2.0 turbo) giving a grand tourer driving style and claimed lowest 0-62mph of 8.6 seconds. Delays in the launch prompted sudden competition from within when Renault themselves elected to put their concept Vel Satis model into production. Just ten months after Avantime production started in 2001, Matra announced that they would cease all vehicle manufacturing, with much of the facilities going on to be sold to Pininfarina in 2003. Renault elected not to continue the Avantime themselves. Across 18 months only 4,557 vehicles were built, half of those sold in France. BBC's Top Gear positioned the Renault Avantime at 'Sub Zero' on the 'Cool Wall' stating it was cooler even than the Aston Martin Vanquish and "the coolest car money can buy". Despite this just 450 cars sold in the UK, of which nearly half were optioned as 3.0 Privilege models. Our car is a 2002 3.0 Privilege Automatic in 'Steppe' Silver/Grey with silver aluminium roof rails and full black leather upholstery. Optioned with SatNav, this is a striking top of the range example of Renaults futuristic MPV Coupe. The car is production number 210 in the sequence of cars built for the UK market and comes with a letter from Renault UK, a certificate and a gift box containing an Avantime concept print and Renault concept cars book. Owned by the present registered keeper for the past six years the car is reported as delivering good power, a pleasing exhaust note and a bright and rewarding driving experience. The aluminium roof rails are prone on the Avantime to oxidisation blisters but the rails on this car remain in excellent condition. The remote control handset that operates the concert music system is present and correct and the car is also fitted with a good quality LPG alternative fuel system with discreet twin tanks. It is intended that the car will be presented at the sale with a fresh 12 months MoT test certificate. The Avantime combines bold styling with exceptional comfort and a host of highly attractive features that would appeal to most car enthusiasts. When you overlay the GT flare and performance with such limited production numbers, we believe that the Avantime possesses all of the hallmarks of a highly collectable classic.
Registration : NJN 348F Chassis Number : 7J2058D/N Engine Number : YJ22168 Odometer reading : 50,150 miles Estimate : £8,000 - £10,000 The Jaguar Mk. II was a medium size saloon built from 1959 to 1969 as a successor to the 2.4 and 3.4 litre models which were manufactured between 1957 and 1959. It was a handsome, powerful and good handling saloon which was offered with a choice of three six-cylinder twin cam engines; 2.4 litre, 3.4 litre or 3.8 litre. After the appreciation of the MK.I, Jaguar's successor was well received making a good car even better. Similar in appearance, but with a bigger glass area, it boasted a wider track to improve road holding together with minor front suspension changes to reduce body roll and all-round disc rather than drum brakes. Raced by all the top drivers of the day including Graham Hill, Roy Salvadori and Michael Parkes, the Mk. II has scored victories throughout saloon car races in the sixties and was also raced across Europe in the Tour De France and Monte Carlo rally. Originally registered on 16th February 1968, this Jaguar, 2.4 litre presents in largely original condition. The green coachwork shows little sign of corrosion and the grey leather trim has a lovely patina. Mechanically everything appears in order with the engine starting 'on the button' and we are advised she drives with no known faults. With cars as original as this, clearly there are a few issues that any new owner may wish to address; however, we would describe NJN 348F as a perfectly useable example. Supplied with a collection of MoT test certificates dating back to March 1984 when the mileage was 46,826, this Jaguar has travelled 3,324 miles in 31 years. The current MoT test certificate is valid until 4th March 2016 and is accompanied by a V5 Registration document. Jaguar Mk. II's have a strong following and a manual transmission example with overdrive such as this will appeal to enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Registration : UOA597L Chassis Number : 9113101941 Engine Number : 6133726 Odometer reading : 43,000 miles Estimate : £54,000 - £59,000 The original Porsche 911 was introduced in Autumn 1963 and manufactured until 1989. It was succeeded by a modified version, internally referred to as Porsche 964, but still sold as Porsche 911, as are current models. Mechanically, the 911 was notable for being rear-engined and air-cooled and, from its inception, the 911 was modified both by private teams and the factory itself for racing, rallying and other types of competition. The original 911 series is often cited as the most successful competition car ever, especially when its variations are included; namely the powerful 911-derived 935 which won the 24 Hours du Mans and other major sportscar races outright against prototypes. The 911T was the first Porsche to receive the new Bosch K-Jetronic or CIS engine (Continuous Injection System) from January 1973 onwards. Often referred to as 1973 1/2, these T models produce 140bhp and also boast the newer type standard H pattern (915) gearbox which, in tandem, provide a smooth yet powerful engine and are great fun to drive. This lefthand drive, matching numbers, 1973 Porsche 911T coupé with electric sunroof was sold new by McPeak Porsche/Audi in Walnut Creek, California and has a complete history going back to then, even including the original windscreen sticker. The last owner purchased it from the fifth owner in 2013, with the last three owners all members of the Porsche Club of America and all of the previous owners spending substantial sums maintaining this car. One in particular decided to upgrade the engine to virtually 'S' specification and on file an invoice confirms the $20,000 engine rebuild and upgrades undertaken. At the same time, the car was lowered with Bilstein sports suspension and a Dansk stainless dual outlet exhaust was fitted. In 1997, a Porsche Owner's Club 'purchasing check list' was carried out and the car scored 97%, remaining in the same condition today. Last year the car was sent to Tuthill Porsche for a full inspection and major service and evidently, no expense was spared in the preparation; £6,000 was spent with Tuthill's ensuring that the car is absolutely on the button and ready to enjoy. All invoices and inspection reports, which report no mechanical or body defaults, are in the history file and Tuthill's reported that it is a very good car. The car has been previously repainted in the original metallic blue and the black interior is in excellent condition. This 911T is supplied with a V5C registration document and a file containing all the invoices and inspection reports.
Registration : J513SPG Chassis Number : 053 Engine Number : 140B707000041933 Estimate : £35,000 - £40,000 The Ferrari P series were prototype sports cars in the 1960s and early 1970s. Although Enzo Ferrari resisted the move even with Cooper dominating F1, Ferrari began producing mid-engined racing cars in 1960 with the Ferrari Dino-V6-engine Formula Two 156, which would become the Formula One winner of 1961. Sports car racers followed in 1963. 1967 was a banner year for the Enzo Ferrari motor company as it saw the production of the mid-engined 330 P4, a renowned V12 endurance car meant to replace the previous year's P3. Only four Ferrari P4-engined cars were ever made; one P3/4 and three 330 P4s. Their three-valve cylinder head was modelled after those of Italian Grand Prix-winning Formula One cars. The famous German designer Luigi Colani commissioned the first P4 replica built in 1977 by Noble Motorsport in Leicester. A steel space frame was used and the reliable Renault 3.0 litre, V6 engine linked to a five-speed transaxle giving the power and speed for use on the track also. The fibreglass body has been produced with careful attention to detail and the result is a faithful copy of the original car built in the 1960s. A fun and exciting evocation of the great original with desirable looks and still manages to turn heads today. This Noble P4, number 053, was built in 1992 and purchased by the previous owner in August 1995; a design director of Ford Motor Company. Correspondence and receipts from Neil Foreman of NF Auto Development indicate that it was upgraded to the latest specification of the time, including wishbones, reinforced chromed steering arms, shock absorbers and springs along with a new radiator and cooling fan during 1998. Sliding side windows were fitted in July 1999 to complete the new build, now sporting a redesigned front end. The all-alloy 2.7 litre, fuel injected V6 Renault engine, coupled with the five-speed gearbox provides suitable power for the light weight space frame construction and the upgrades have enhanced the drivability and usability. Documents show that in 1995, it was purchased with a mileage of 4,595. An invoice from Alan Collins Performance Car Specialist in 1997 then records the mileage at 4,639. It was then stored privately in Germany for at least ten years and it appears that the odometer stopped working at some point during this period; however, we are informed that it has been subject to little use since then. Purchased by the vendor two years ago to join his collection of Ferraris, he found he was unable to import the car to the USA allowing us to offer it today. This Noble Ferrari 330 P4 is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in September 2015 and a large history file which includes the original build manuals, letters of new part conformity for registration, wiring diagrams and drawings. Due to the great fame, sleek appearance and absolute rarity of the original, most of us can only aspire simply to enjoy a hand-crafted and bespoke built P4 replica, similar to the exceptional car offered here. This real xxxxxx is on the button and ready for a new owner to enjoy.
Registration : M30TUS Chassis Number : WDB1704652F220571 Engine Number : 11294730949330 Odometer reading : 158,900 miles Estimate : No Reserve At start of the 1990s, after the introduction of their two-seat, grand-tourer R129 SL and the Mazda MX-5, Mercedes-Benz set out to create a new compact roadster, slotted below the SL. By late 1991, under Bruno Sacco, the first design sketches were drawn and scale models being built in the first half of 1992. Massively successful in its first year, worldwide sales hit 55,000, over double the entire nine-year production of 190SLs and between 1996 and 2004, over 311,000 SLKs were sold. The roof design consists of a folding steel hardtop with both halves linked by a mechanism which is locked securely when the roof is closed. At the touch of a button on the centre console, a hydraulic system controls the fully automatic folding process in which the boot lid is also integrated. This SLK 230 presents in good order and is finished in silver with black leather trim. The hood mechanism functions correctly and we are advised this manual transmission Mercedes-Benz drives with no known faults. Supplied with a V5 registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until 30th April 2016, with summer coming what a great little car to enjoy 'open top' motoring, this car is offered at no reserve.
Registration : LNE800 Chassis Number : 660271 Engine Number : 2004-7 Odometer reading : 33,260 miles Estimate : £43,000 - £48,000 The Jaguar XK120 was manufactured between 1948 and 1954 and was their first post-war sportscar; it succeeded the SS100 which ceased production in 1940. The XK120 was launched in roadster form at the 1948 London Motor Show as a test bed and show car for the new Jaguar XK engine. It caused a sensation which persuaded William Lyons to put it into production. The '120' in its name referred to its 120mph top speed which made it the world's fastest standard production car at the time of its launch. It was available in two convertible versions; first as the roadster then also as a drophead coupé from 1953 and as a closed or fixedhead coupé from 1951. This righthand drive XK120 Roadster was purchased by the vendor in 1975 as a project car from a dealer in the Midlands; after about a year of owning it, he decided to carry out a body-off restoration. A 3.8 litre, Jaguar Mk. II in reasonable condition was purchased as a donor car for the engine, gearbox with overdrive and the rear axle; all were fitted together with panard rods and radius arms on the rear axle to stop it moving in any direction. Next, he found a Jaguar Mk. IX in a local breakers yard which supplied the Dunlop disc braking system. After restoring the chassis he found a person who specialised in Jaguar bodywork and a deal was struck where he paid £100 and when that was used up, he paid another £100 - this worked well to start with but when he got a bill for £600 which he was not expecting , he took the car home and finished it himself. Not satisfied with the power output from the 3.8 litre engine, the vendor managed to find a Jaguar 4.2 litre unit which was reputed to have only done 20,000 miles since a major overhaul - and this is how we find the car today. This 'fast road' XK120 has been fully maintained and serviced since the rebuild and is 'on the button'; it starts easily, runs well and is ready to use. Finished in British Racing Green with red leather interior and black toneau cover, it comes supplied with a V5C registration document and some old MoT test certificates. This is a very reliable, well-built special and is ready to be appreciated as such.
