Lot 112
1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Speedster PLEASE NOTE: We have been contacted by David Titchener to say that he bought this lot new from Dick Lovett of Swindon and had it registered as 'THE 89S' (The '89 Speedster) PLEASE NOTE: We have been informed by the vendor's family that this lot retains its original front tyres. Apparently, the rear tyres were only replaced in April 2012 because of a nasty cut to the nearside one. They believe that the presence of the original front tyres lends further credibility to the odometer reading of 17,500 miles. PLEASE NOTE: This lot is now registered with the DVLA under the number plate 'G542 TTV' - 1 of just 64 UK-supplied (C16 specification) examples - Factory-fitted with 'Turbo look' bodywork and electrically adjustable sports seats - 17,500 recorded miles, original Blaupunkt Toronto stereo, tyre compressor and tool kit Given the 356 Speedster's cult status, it seems amazing that Porsche took twenty-five years to launch a similarly minimalist drop-top 911. Brainchild of Peter Schutz and Helmuth Bott (the company's then President and Technical Director respectively), the Carrera 3.2 Speedster was visually distinguished from its Cabriolet sibling by a bespoke, more steeply raked aluminium-framed windscreen, simplified hood hidden beneath a distinctive `double hump' moulded polyurethane tonneau cover, lower slung sports seats and frameless side windows. The work of in-house stylist Tony Lapine, its distinctive lines were enhanced still further by the option of `Turbo-look' bodywork (which also entailed uprated suspension and brake components). A strict two-seater unlike the rest of the 911 range, it was powered by a 3164cc flat-six engine allied to the preferred G50 five-speed manual transmission. Living up to its name, the Speedster was capable of 0-60mph in 6 seconds and 152mph. Although previewed as a concept car at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show, the model did not enter production until January 1989. Notable as the last 911 variant to be derived from the same basic bodyshell as the 1963 original, the Carrera 3.2 Speedster was also the final 911 to be assembled at the old Zuffenhausen factory. Known internally as Option M503, the last of 2,104 examples rolled off the production line during July 1989. All but 171 customers specified the more dramatic `Turbo-look' bodywork with America and Germany proving the biggest markets. Of the 129 right-hand drive Speedsters made, just 64 were to UK `C16' specification. Embracing the less is more philosophy, Porsche charged a not insubstantial premium for the Speedster despite terming its roof a `rain hat' and demanding that original purchasers sign a disclaimer as to water and wind ingress! One of the sixty-four UK cars, chassis WPOZZZ91ZKS151277 was built to the following specification: Impact absorbers front and rear (058), Blaupunkt Toronto Radio Cassette player (330), Sports seat left, electric height adjustment (383), Sports seat right, electric height adjustment (387), Front and rear spoiler delete - i.e. none fitted (470), Turbo-look bodywork (491), Amplifier (494), Luggage compartment velour carpet (975), Guards Red paint (L80K) and Cashmere Beige upholstery (LC). First road registered as `THE 89S' on August 1st 1989, it had had three previous keepers prior to entering the current ownership twenty years ago the last of whom was Christopher Nowicki of Loughborough. Although, the vendor's ill health means that the low recorded mileage of 17,500 cannot be warranted, it certainly appears correct. Factory stickers are still present in the door jamb and under the luggage compartment lid. Pleasingly retaining its original engine and running well during our recent photography visit, we could not discern any sign of previous accident damage or repair. Maintained in-house by the owner's ex-Holbay mechanic, the Speedster still carries its original space saver spare wheel (with unused Vredstein tyre), Porsche plug-in air compressor, jack, tool roll and Blaupunkt stereo (complete with instructions). Issued with an `advisory free' MOT certificate which runs until January 2nd 2019, the two-seater is currently undergoing a cherished number plate transfer. Rare, desirable and coming to market for the first time since 1998, this seemingly low mileage `C16' Speedster is worthy of close inspection.
Lot 63
1970/2005 Suffolk SS100 Evocation- Built by a professional engineer between 2000 and c.2005- GRP body with XJ6 4.2 engine, silver with blue interior & hood- From a deceased estate, just c.600 miles since buildAmong the first of William Lyons' creations to utilise the Jaguar name, the SS Jaguar 100 entered pre-production in October 1935. Dynamically honed by chief engineer William Heynes and marketed as being `primarily intended for competition work and sufficiently tractable as a fast tourer without modification', the first Jaguar sports car enjoyed a successful racing / rallying career and is now extremely sought after by collectors. It is perhaps no surprise that such an iconic design would be imitated using more modern mechanicals and examples produced by Suffolk Engineering are amongst the best available.Correspondence and invoices in the accompanying history file from Suffolk detail the ordering and build of VAT 850H between 2000 and 2005. Constructed by a professional engineer who had been a development engineer at Marcos in the 1960s, it has seen little use since completion (including outings on the Mendip Rally) and now registers just some 633 miles. Utilising a 1970 Jaguar 4.2 XJ6 as a donor vehicle, whose identity it retains on the V5C document, the car is being reluctantly offered for sale by the family of the late-owner who was a keen Jaguar collector. Finished strikingly in silver with blue leather and blue carpet, the paintwork has some micro-blistering in areas although we feel the car could easily be enjoyed 'as is'. Benefiting from a recent mechanical check over this GRP-bodied evocation of one of the most beautiful pre-War designs has manual overdrive transmission and comes with its original build manual, sundry invoices and correspondence, Jaguar SS sales brochure, framed pencil drawing of the car by a local artist and current MoT.
Lot 9
1983 CN Sprint- Hand-built by the late Neil Shepherdson (the Neil in Christopher Neil Ltd of Northwich)- 2-litre 16V Zetec unit and original Dunlop D1 alloy wheels- Recently overhauled at a cost of £12,500The CN Sprint was a replica kit car marketed by Lotus marque specialists Christopher Neil Ltd of Northwich, Cheshire. This particular example, (Chassis No.00001) was hand-built by the late Neil Shepherdson (the Neil in Christopher Neil) and originally registered to him. He apparently created the car using all new parts, including a galvanised Lotus Elan S4 chassis, genuine Lotus suspension, brakes, steering and differential. It was used as a press/sales demonstrator and originally powered by a Ford 1600cc CVH engine driving through a Sierra five-speed gearbox. The vendor had the CVH unit professionally replaced with a 2-litre 16V Zetec unit, which predictably endows the car with performance superior to that of an original Elan Sprint. Coincident with the transplant, the brakes, suspension, wheel bearings and drive shafts were overhauled at a cost of £12,500 and a new hood completed the makeover. The vendor currently regards the evocation as `mechanically superb and an absolute joy to drive, being very quick and amazingly tractable with superb reliability'. He goes on to say, `the bodywork is very good with no crazing, but just some faint blemishes noticeable at very close quarters. The interior is in very good condition with no rips or marks on the original Elan seats, carpet or console, the latter of which has been retrimmed in fine leather. The electrics are all working reliably, including the windows and headlights, which are instantly raised by electric motor'. In summary, he currently regards the Zetec engine and five-speed gearbox as `excellent', the fibreglass bodywork as `very good', the Black interior trim as `good', and the Red over White paintwork as `average'.`A548 TLG' is now offered complete with its original Dunlop D1 alloy wheels, sheaf of past invoices, complimentary period magazine article, period advertising and photos, old MOT certificates and one valid to June 26 this year.

Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II, Registration BCU 860V, mileage 012045 (112,045), recent replacement engine, cream leather and walnut interior. First registered 04/02/1980 (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The Rolls Royce has come to us from a local deceased estate. There is a file containing various receipts with the vehicle but no specific information regarding service history etc. The car does have an MOT which expires on the 25th July 2018. According to the odometer the car has not been driven since the MOT on the 26th July 2017. There are numerous invoices, some for significant sums, from Flying Spares, Ebay, etc. but no record of service history. The deceased owner had a collection of 7 classic cars including this one. We were told by the executors that the car has had a fairly recent replacement engine but have no paperwork to back this up. When we collected the car from the property it was full of stale fuel and would not start. The fuel was drained and replaced and the battery charged. The car then did start and was driven onto a low loader for transportation. Whilst the car does run and drives the gear box does not return to neutral and therefore the car will not start again until neutral is manually engaged from underneath. There are invoices for such things as lower battery cover, rotor arm, distributor cap, alternator pulley, starter motor, gear box, filter kit, gear selector lever chains, core unit, brake accumulator sphere, sphere accumulator valve body, steering rack, head restraints, door mirrors, carpet set etc. Being an auction the car is sold entirely as seen but as stated it has come to us from a local deceased estate.
