PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is a 1973 Citroen D Super (and not a DS19 as catalogued). - A very rare right hand drive example in a striking colour combination - Numerous Best Citroen Concours Awards from the Citroen Car Club of Australia - Recently imported into the UK and registered with the DVLA Citroën's DS still looks futuristic 60 years on from its launch. The self-levelling hydropneumatic suspension was also way ahead of its time, delivering a 'magic carpet' ride that many manufacturers would be grateful for even now. Initially powered by an updated 1911cc version of the OHV four-cylinder unit previously found in the Traction Avant, this was enhanced and enlarged in three stages over the years, leaving the final iteration at 2347cc. The gearbox was mounted ahead of the engine, while braking was by inboard-mounted discs at the front and drums at the rear. Some 1.5 million D Series Citroëns were produced and the model was immortalised in such films as The Day of the Jackal. The truly splendid-looking DS 19 offered today is believed to have been sold new in Australia and was restored there in around 2007, since when it was awarded with numerous Citroen Car Club of Australia Concours Best Citroen Awards. Purchased in Australia when its English owner was residing over there, he imported it into the UK in 2011 and registered it with the DVLA in January 2016. Reported to have covered only 1,200 miles since the concours wining restoration, it is presented today with UK road registration with the DVLA and in superlative condition. This must represent a rare opportunity for a Citroen enthusiast to acquire a right hand drive DS that has received a concours winning restoration in a wonderful colour combination.
The first owner of this handsome Continental was Patrick Greenhous, the then chairman of the large motor group Vincent Greenhous Ltd. It was specified with heavy gauge chassis, manual aerial, and electric windows complete with emergency handle. The factory build sheets confirm the chassis being despatched to Mulliner Park Ward on February 25th 1965 and the Bentley being collected by a representative of the supplying dealer, Charles Attwood Ltd, on the ensuing June 4th. At this stage the Continental - 1 of just 58 right-hand drive examples bodied by MPW to design number 2006 - was finished in Valentine's Ming Blue and trimmed in a combination of Off-White Connolly leather, and Beige carpet and headlining teamed with a Dark Blue Everflex hood. The keeper's son evidently recalls the Bentley replacing an Aston Martin DB5 Convertible; also being collected from Radley College in the Bentley and being taken to lunch at The Bear, Woodstock. The Bentley was evidently one of numerous special cars owned by Mr Greenhous, that included a Lamborghini and Jaguar E-Type as well as several Rolls-Royces that he used with and without the presence of his chauffeur. By 1987 the Bentley was in the US, where it was reputedly registered 'ABT 475' and employed as a wedding car - the certificate of title notes the mileage at this time was 37,900. Two years later it was sourced by Bentley specialist Edward Hamilton on behalf of Mr Roger Taylor of Essex, whereupon it was returned to the UK and re-registered 'NME 86C'. During this period it was maintained by Hamilton as well the renowned marque specialists P&A Wood. It was while engaged in a Bentley Drivers' Club event that the car met its next keeper, Mr Roger Fowler of Worcestershire, who retained it for just over a year before selling it with 63,000 miles displayed to TV executive and producer John Ranelagh of Cambridgeshire on May 14th 1996. He in turn covered 6,000 miles in six years before trading it in to dealer Cars International, from whom it was acquired by businessman Mr Philip Derby of Surrey on April 25th 2002. It was during his care that the Bentley was treated to a 27-month long refurbishment by the Fullbridge Restoration Company. It was stripped to bare metal and all corrosion removed before the body was primed and refinished in its original livery of Valentine's Ming Blue. The trim was carefully refurbished and new carpets and hood installed. The brightwork was replated as required, new valve guides fitted to the engine, and all other mechanical parts checked and seen to as required. It was at this stage that air conditioning was installed in anticipation of some hot Continental motoring. Fullbridge's total bills added a further £50,000 to the purchase price of £45,000. The finished vehicle was subsequently employed on a number of Continental tours before the engine was overhauled in 2005 by Bentley Pangbourne at a cost of £18,646. Having provided pleasure for Mr Derby, the Bentley was consigned to a de-humidified bubble from 2007 until April 2012, at which point it was acquired by its most recent keeper. Following an extensive overhaul that included a new steering box, he and his wife enjoyed a 14-day round trip to the Monaco Grand Prix with no problems whatsoever. Now under used, this lovely Bentley is being made available for a new keeper to benefit from. It is being sold complete with an MOT valid to March 14th next year and 18 past ones confirming the current indicated mileage of 91,501. 'DUJ 888C' is one of those motorcars that will cut a dash wherever it goes and could continue to appreciate in the process.
PLEASE NOTE: Further background information has been kindly forwarded to us by Keith Williams, a friend of the the Wilkins brothers' nephew: Brothers Henry and Edward Wilkins were the sons of the founder of Servis washing machines - Walter Wilkins. Henry owned a collection of some 22 mainly pre-war cars (Rolls-Royces and Bentleys amongst them), while he and his brother Edward also restored cars to help fund the upkeep of the collection. Much of the restoration work was carried out by Cliff Long in the workshops at Henry's home, Brockton House, Shifnal, Shropshire. This example was restored as a present for Edward's son Charles Wilkins on his 21st birthday. Charles died around 2011 and the Bentley passed on to his wife Debby following his death. - Built as a 21st birthday present for the previous owner by ex-Servis factory owners - One of just four believed produced - Manual transmission, wind-up windows Built as a 21st birthday present for the previous owner by two brothers who were ex-owners of the Servis washing machine factory in Birmingham, this MkVI special is understood to be one of just three or four built by them. Finished in blue with black leather interior and blue carpet, wind-up windows and folding hood help to keep things civilised for both driver and passenger. A fitted tool kit and storage area are incorporated into the rear trunk which sits in front of the twin rear-mounted spare wheels. Acquired by the vendor in 2011, the car has been used sparingly during his ownership. He currently rates the body and paintwork as "average", informing us the engine "runs fine" and that the gearbox is "good". Displaying some 67,290 miles on its odometer at the time of cataloguing, KYU 777 is offered with Swansea V5 document and is expected to be driven to the sale venue from Suffolk.
With values of the original 1,590 2.7 RSs having surpassed £500,000 and heading towards the £million mark, it's unsurprising that interest in quality evocations continues to escalate. However, 'ABW970L' is no ordinary replica, but a totally re-engineered car of very high modern specification. It was decided the basis should be a Grand Prix White 911 equipped with G50 transmission and factory-fitted air conditioning, but no sunroof, and a perfect 1987 3.2 Carrera was duly sourced in Italy in 2006 by marque specialist Autofarm. They then subjected it to a full bare-shell restoration, using steel or fibreglass panels as per the original Carrera RS. The engine was fully blueprinted, balanced and re-engineered by Nick Fulljames to 3.5-litre specification, complete with high compression pistons, 964 cams and stainless steel exhaust. The Getrag transmission was refurbished with a new limited slip differential. The suspension was re-assembled with new Bilstein dampers front and rear, uprated torsion bars, and adjustable front anti-roll bar. The braking system now features a Brembo 4-pot caliper conversion and vented discs all round. The car sports genuine 7J and 9J 16 inch Fuchs alloy wheels shod with Michelin Pilot Sport tyres. The interior was completely refurbished with new period style Recaro seats. The deep pile carpet is to period lightweight style and steering is now effected by a Momo Prototipo leather rimmed wheel. This incredibly desirable Porsche also benefits from a large number of detail extras - eg uprated headlights; rear parking sensors; Toad Cat1 alarm; remote locking system etc. The total cost including donor car, duty and conversion of this 'nod to the past, built for the future' 911 was c.£100,000, and Autofarm have apparently said it would require nearer £150,000 to replicate it today. At 20,000 kilometers since completion it is barely run in and therefore represents astonishing value for the next keeper.
- A very early example of the popular Proteus Jaguar C-Type Evocation - Jaguar XJ6 4.2 based with manual transmission - A wonderfully attractive and patinated motor car We are very grateful to the vendor for supplying the following description: It is believed that this car was built in the early 1980's, making this one of the first examples produced by Proteus. These early cars are widely regarded to be of a better quality than later cars. Finished in British Racing Green with black leather upholstery and green carpet inserts. The car is in very good overall condition, the bodywork, paint finish and interior are in keeping with a car of its age. There are one or two blemishes to the paintwork, however the 'patina' only adds to this cars charm and authenticity. It really is a lovely example. Owned and cherished for many years by a member of the Vintage Sports Car Club (VSCC) this car has been enjoyed when the weather permitted and has not been used in anger on circuits or hill climbs. Engine: Equipped with a 4.2 litre Jaguar straight six, and twin SU carburettors. This car performs very well indeed, it has been cared for with no regard to cost. These engines are inherently torquey. This, along with the overdrive system make this an astonishingly competent long distance tourer. Interior Detail: The interior is an accurate representation of an original C-Type, with period dials, switchgear and Moto-Lita 'Classic 4' steering wheel. The leather seats have subtly faded, resulting in a level of 'age' that suits the car perfectly. Suspension & Brakes: 'Spax' adjustable suspension front and rear. Disc brakes to the front provide very effective braking power. This stunning motorcar is to be sold complete with UK V5 logbook, an MOT certificate expiring January 2017, and a history file containing past invoices.
