A Louis XVI giltwood and marble topped demi lune console table, circa 1785, in the manner of George Jacob or Johann Friedrich Funk II, 87cm high, 141cm wide, 55.5cm deep For a closely related example of table see, Christie's, New York, 9th October 2013, The Art of Collecting: Three Private Collections, Lot 725 ($9,375). Condition Report: Marks, scratches and abrasions comensurate with age and use. Some old chips and splits and some old repairs. some small losses. Various wear and old loss to gilding. Evidence of later re-gilding / refreshing of gilding in areas throughout. Very little sign of old worm damage. A very small number of holes are visible. Other areas of old worm holes may possibly have been covered by filler, painting or gilding. In the photograph of the table, the top appears to rise slightly away from the top of the table. This is due to the fact that there is an old repaired clean break to the marble on that side of the table and the way it has been repaired has caused it to rise slightly. Under the base framework (i.e. the element supporting the urn) there are two applied strips of timber to secure joints. These appear to be original or atleast of significant age. There are no signs of any additional floral swags being in position to the rear stretchers of the base. The table stands level on the floor but as the table is of significant age and the marble has been repaired it may not sit truly perfectly due to minor movement in the timber or joints over time. The legs are solid/ secure in their joints. There is some slight movement/ slightly mishapen element to each leg due to age and weight on them and being hand turned/ carved. There are no makers marks visible.Please refer to the additional images if required for visual reference to condition. Condition Report Disclaimer

A superb example of the rare, late-production Motorsport Edition.One of only 181, UK-market, right-hand drive limited editionsFinished in Misano Red, one of only 60Comprehensively equipped with a bespoke Black Nappa Hide interiorJust over 25,000 warranted miles from newImmaculate condition throughout and correctly detailedAccompanied by comprehensive history file, original book pack and tool kitEpitomising style and mechanical prowess when they arrived on the motoring scene in 1976, these beautiful coupés will always stand the test of time with the ability to ‘wow’ anywhere A rare thoroughbred indeed, being one of just 181 produced.Towards the end of the E24's life, BMW introduced a limited edition (factory code Package 129) for the UK market. Based on the 635 Highline they were known as the 635CSi Motorsport Edition and equipped with most of the visible performance features of the M635. The comprehensive specification included Shadowline exterior trim, electric sunroof, rear-seat head restraints, tri-colour M-sport labels, graduated tinted screen, memory electric seats, air conditioning, electric mirrors, headlight wipers, rear spoiler, leather-trimmed steering wheel, and a rear window blind. The interior includes hand-stitched Nappa leather on the seats, door panels, centre console, glove box, roof lining, sun visors, door pillars, upper door trim, and dashboard.The 'Motorsport' cars were only available in three colours and this particular example is one of 60 finished in Misano Red with a Black Nappa Hide Interior. With only four owners from new and a recorded mileage of just 25,000, this particular Motorsport Edition 635 is quite simply outstanding and has to be one of, if not ‘the’ best example on the market today.The condition throughout is exceptional, with all factory manuals present, tools as they should be, engine bay detailed etc. The E24 epitomised style and mechanical prowess when they arrived on the motoring scene in 1976 and these beautiful coupes will always stand the test of time with the ability to ‘wow’ anywhere. Values of the rare Motorsport Edition have continued to firm over recent years and we see no reason why this would change, making this immaculate, low mileage example a rather sensible investment.

One of just 113 UK supplied cars – The original GT3RS and highly coveted for good reasons.UK supplied (C-16), right-hand drive 911 (996) GT3RS indicating just 31,836 milesPowered by the 3.6-litre naturally aspirated flat-six ‘Mezger’ engine, officially producing 375bhp, but in reality likely north of 390bhp, coupled to a slick six-speed manual transmissionSignificant weight saving over the GT3 offers 280bhp per tonFactory finished in Carrera White with classic red detailingPorsche confirmed original specification including; Clubsport interior with red harnesses, A/C, front cage and extinguisherSuperb overall condition supported by a comprehensive history file including original service book and spare keyPorsche introduced the Porsche 911 GT3RS in 2003 as an even more track-focused version of the 996 GT3 with the ‘RS’ moniker, characteristic lightweight blue or red wheels and ‘GT3 RS’ decals all evocative of historically important Porsches such as the Carrera 2.7RS of the early 1970s. The RS is lighter than its GT3 sibling, due to the use of a polycarbonate rear window and a carbon fibre bonnet and rear wing and has a slightly different engine specification to the 996 GT3, with the cylinder heads having reshaped intake and exhaust ports to comply with motorsport ‘homologation’ regulations. The wheel carriers are totally redesigned to maximize the improved dynamic camber control, the suspension top mounts can be turned 120 degrees to a "Cup Car" position and both front and rear control arms are adjustable. During the 996 GT3 RS production run from 2003 to 2005, Porsche built only 140 right-hand drive cars and 113 of those were officially imported into to the UK.This C-16, UK-supplied, right-hand drive 996 GT3 RS is finished in Carrera White with red decals and detailing and presents in superb condition throughout. The car has the usual GT3 RS specification and benefits from options including a Black Clubsport interior with red harnesses, a factory-fitted half cage, air-conditioning, ‘Lightronic’ lights, centre console, top-tint screen, CDR23 CD player and a fire extinguisher.Most recently, this RS had been subject to a major service at an independent Porsche specialist with a new battery and A/C re-gas at 31,772 miles and the invoice for this is in the detailed history file along with the original service book/service history supporting the indicated mileage of 31,836.Our vendor, a knowledgeable private collector purchased this example at 29,247 miles and sensibly commissioned a thorough independent inspection report (on file) that summarises this example as; a good honest RS with no evidence of hard track use or serious accident history. No doubt a genuine RS that has not been altered from factory specification in any way. Since purchase eight years ago, this special RS has covered less than 2,000 light miles and always been correctly dry stored.Today, the 996 GT3RS is finally starting to find its feet in the collector car market, rightly regarded as a precious low volume ‘homologation’ special that offers a raw and exciting driving experience. With a total production of just 682 and a mere 140 in right-hand drive, you can rest assured that when the petrol engine is no longer in production, these special RS Porsche will be a must-have in all significant collections. One can only speculate what could happen to values with high demand and low availability.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 -996Year: 2004Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99Z4S691041Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 63426588 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 31836 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images
A stunning, low mileage, 997 Turbo with a manual gearbox and impressive options list.Spectacular in Guards Red paintwork with a black leather interior and heated sports seatsImpressive specification including, sport-chrono plus, park assist, sun roof and short-shift gearchangeLow mileage supported by a full Porsche main dealer service history, most recent visit at 17,445 milesAccompanied by a history file including its original Porsche book pack, original service book and paper invoices, current MOT and V5cN.B. The registration number illustrated in the attached photographs does not form part of the saleThe Porsche 911 needs little in the way of introduction and the signature model of the road car line-up has, since 1975, always been the Turbo. When it first appeared, the 911 Turbo was something to be feared and drivers clung on to this fearsome thing, its 258bhp making it one of the quickest production cars on sale. Each successive generation saw the 911 Turbo become more powerful and better resolved. By the time the water-cooled 996 generation car appeared in 1999, the Turbo had become genuinely civilised; rocket-ship fast but civilised nonetheless. The 997 generation 911 was an evolution of the 996 with many changes designed to improve quality whilst retaining that car's winning blend of performance and usability.Although the 911(997) Carrera models appeared in 2004, it wasn't until 2006 that the Turbo version was finally launched. First shown at that year's Geneva Show, it was initially offered as a Coupe (and later as a cabriolet) with an impressive specification. The Mezger 3.6-litre engine was continued, now producing 480bhp at 6,000 rpm and featuring VarioCam Plus and a pair of clever Borg-Warner variable geometry turbochargers, a totally new technology for Porsche. With a manual gearbox, the 997 Turbo requires just 3.9 seconds to reach 62mph and will go on to 193mph. Power is transmitted to all four wheels with Porsche Traction Management (PTM) which utilises an electronically controlled, multi-plate clutch. This intelligent technology provides variable drive to each axle. The front/rear split is continuously adjusted based on current road conditions and driver inputs. Although biased towards the rear, the front receives more power whenever the situation requires.The car presented here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 2008 Porsche 911(997) Turbo Generation I which, importantly, means it utilises the well-proven and legendary Mezger race-derived engine, which has a bulletproof reputation. Finished in Guards Red with black leather interior this Turbo had been specified with a very impressive options list including; colour coded red seatbelts, centre console and red tail lamps. Further options ticked included heated sports seats, park assist, sunshine-roof, sport-chrono plus, short-shift gear selector, top-tint screen and some ‘aluminium look’ interior furniture.Accompanying this example is a comprehensive history file including the original Porsche book-pack with the original service book stamped up-to-date. The service history is full Porsche main agent with the most recent visit at 17,445 miles. The private plate shown in some of our marketing will be retained by the current owner and the car will be offered on its original number NA08 VWC.Having covered just 18,598, miles this stunning Turbo presents extremely well. Clearly cared for over the years, the exterior paintwork retains a deep gloss and the interior show very little wear. Overall the condition of this Turbo is excellent and for piece of mind the most recent service is also accompanied by a Porsche Health Check available for inspection on request. On test the car fired up on the button and performed without fault.In summary, this is a great opportunity to own a modern classic 911 Turbo in a fabulous colour combination with the desirable manual gearbox, impressive options list and low mileage supported by a full Porsche service history. Offered from a private Porsche enthusiast due to a change in circumstances as a result of recent events.

One of just seven examples of this rare Turbo Cabriolet with the 5-speed box and only 33,168 miles.One of only fifty genuine factory-produced 930 SE low-build cars.Built by the Special Wishes Department, the ‘Flachbau’ cars were essentially normal 930 Turbos with the dramatic, 935-style, sloping front endEquipped with an uprated engine of 330bhp (from 300), Dual-Exit exhaust and a limited-slip differentialUpgraded interior featuring a unique centre console, heated front seats, steering wheel and gear lever knob with a gold insertStunning colour combination of White Pearl with a matching leather interior33,168 miles corroborated by 16 service stampsExpenditure of over £45,000 in 2017One of only 7 C-16 UK cars built in 1989, this really is the Holy GrailAnyone who followed the ‘World Championship of Makes’ (essentially an International championship for long-distance Sports Car racing), will remember their surprise at the shape of the new Porsche 935 when it first appeared at Mugello in March 1976. Subsequently, these ‘Flatnose’ 935s and 936s (in Group 6) were to prove very competitive in the hands of Ickx, Mass and Stommelen and during the next two seasons managed four victories in eight World Championship races and a triumph at Le Mans in each year. However, Porsche began to worry that all these victories by the works Flatnose cars might alienate the vast number of private clients who were investing their own money in conventionally-shaped competition 911s, and decided to restrict their efforts for 1978 to an entry at Le Mans.The distinctive look of the "Flachbau" (literally translated as Low Build) obviously retained its appeal in the minds of their road car customers and, from 1981 until early 1989, Porsche 930 Turbo buyers could specify their car in this style to special order. Just 50 ‘C16’ cars were manufactured for the UK-market, initially equipped with an uprated engine of 330bhp (from 300) mated to a 4-speed transmission. However, at the end of 1988, the uprated 5-Speed G50 gearbox was introduced, dramatically easing the peaks in power delivery by reducing the effects of 'turbo-lag'. The factory SE also benefited from a dual-exit exhaust system, limited-slip differential, heated front seats and a sunroof.This example is a genuine, factory-produced, C-16, Porsche 930 Turbo SE G50 Cabriolet built in 1989 under the ‘Sonderwunchprogramm' (Special Wishes Programme). It’s superbly finished in White Pearl with a matching leather interior and has covered just 33,168 miles in the hands of three private owners prior to spending time in two of the highest-profile exclusive collections in the UK since 2014.It’s supplied with an extensive history file detailing expenditure of over £45,000 lavished on this stunning Porsche during 2017 to ensure that it presents today in the best possible condition for an enthusiast or collector alike. The history file also contains all its previous MOTs and the service book displays sixteen service stamps helping to corroborate the indicated mileage.With only seven C-16 examples of this specific model produced in 1989, this really is the 'Holy Grail' when considering a 930 and we would welcome any inspection of this rather special Porsche.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 TURBO SE FLATNOSE CABRIOLETYear: 1989Chassis Number: WPOZZZ93ZKSO20243Transmission: manualEngine Number: 67K00949Odometer Reading: 33168 Make: Interior Colour: WHITE LEATHERClick here for more details and images
A UK 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 with known history from new.UK-supplied C-16, right-hand driveFinished in gleaming Carrera White with Satin Black wheelsJust two owners and 9,860 miles from newExcellent spec with numerous factory optionsSuperb value todayThe Cayman GT4 is the fastest and most purposeful model of the Cayman range producing over 300bhp and, when launched at the end of 2015, it was the first Cayman to produce more power than the contemporary standard 911. It’s a performance-focused, mid-engined Coupé with class-leading handling, massive brakes, a slick manual gearbox with perfect ratios for ultimate performance and a remarkable 188mph top speed.In January 2016, this car was delivered new to Silverstone Auctions Managing Director, Nick Whale, by the Porsche Centre in Solihull, which he previously owned. His chosen factory options included; Mobile phone prep, Sports package plus, Sports Chrono package with Porsche Track Precision App, Porsche Communication Management, Digital radio, Bi-Xenon headlights with Porsche Dynamic light system, Rear wing supports in black, Centre console trim in carbon, Full bucket seats (very important!), Boxster Spyder wheels painted in Satin Black, Cruise control, 64-litre fuel tank and a full carbon interior package.They were in extremely short supply at the time and became instantly a ‘premium car’ achieving values well in excess of list price. Carefully run-in and enjoyed for some 3,000 miles and 6 months of ownership, it was then sold to one of Nick’s closest personal friends who is our vendor today. (for a modest price obviously!)Since then the car has covered a total of 9,860 miles today with correct factory maintenance by Porsche Centre Guildford in August 2018. It was treated to a set of new tyres in September 2018 and comes to the Sale with the full original book pack, spare keys and spare tracker card. We can confirm that the car is offered with all original panels and all original paintwork.The sublime GT4 displays such startling poise and fluency that it may well be considered in the future to be one of the best handling Porsches ever and this gleaming Carrera White example presents and drives superbly and now looks value in this price range for such an outstanding performance car with known history, background and provenance.

Fully restored in 2002 and recently refreshed this is a delightful example of a rare model.Sold directly to Switzerland in 1966 returning to the UK in 2016Nut and bolt restoration in France by Cedric Masier around 2002Lotus Cortina aluminium 4-speed, close-ratio box with Quaife internalsLotus Cortina struts and dampers optimised for fast road use, Brembo discs, Girling pistons and Pagid fast-road padsGT pre-X-Flow with a big valve head, blueprinted, lightened and balanced with a Kent 244 cam fuelled by twin 45 Webers. Originally built by Burton RacingFull engine strip, inspection, and rebuild including a new Kent 244 cam and followers by Coltec (22-12-2014 - £1,606)Period-style bucket seats, Moto-Lita, Brantz International Pro-2 Digital rally clock, Terratrip intercom with headsetsMassive history file (workshop manuals, vehicle manuals, technical articles)Prepared for road rallies, stage rallies, regularity runs or just chasing other Cortinas about on an Owner’s Club day out, this could be an ideal entry into the gently competitive word of classic rallying.Ford’s Cortina was a mid-sized family car launched in 1963, designed to fill a gap between the smaller Anglia and executive Zephyr/Zodiac models. With its lightweight shell and decent handling, Ford’s engineers soon realised that the Cortina had genuine potential as a performance model and thus created the GT, by adding a Cosworth-tuned 1.5-litre version of the Kent four-cylinder engine, upgrading the transmission, brakes and suspension, installing a rev-counter to the steering column and extra dials in the centre console. The Cortina GT was soon selling in huge numbers as few cars could match its 95mph top speed or willing acceleration, at such an affordable price. Cortina GTs were homologated by Ford for rallying and notched up numerous wins in the mid-1960s, while the more potent Lotus version was developed for circuit racing.This delightful 1966 Cortina GT is a four-door example, finished in left-hand drive and exported to Switzerland where it has spent most of its life. It returned to the UK in 2016 and the registration number, UCA 487D was awarded by the DVLA in September of that year.There is a significant amount of history with UCA and naturally, most of that is in French or German, but we can see from the invoices that the car has been subject to a total nut and bolt restoration in France by Cedric Masier and Patrick Hugo around 2002 utilising “Genuine Ford Motorsport Period Upgrades”. It was rebuilt with a Lotus Cortina aluminium 4-speed, close-ratio box with Quaife internals (1-2.5, 2-1.66, 3-1.22, 4-1.1. Limited slip differential 3.9-1). It’s been set up with Lotus Cortina struts and dampers optimised for fast road use, Brembo discs, Girling pistons and Pagid fast-road pads.The engine is a GT pre-X-Flow with a big valve head, blueprinted, lightened and balanced with a Kent 244 cam fuelled by twin 45 Webers. Originally built by Burton Racing, there is an invoice in the file from Coltec Racing dated 22-12-2014 totalling £1,606 relating to a full engine strip, inspection, and rebuild including a new Kent 244 cam and followers and a repaint of the block in Holbay Green. It’s fitted with a competition clutch and a Race Stainless Steel exhaust (since changed).The interior was renewed back in 2012 and remains very smart with twin period-style bucket seats, Moto-Lita steering wheel, Brantz International Pro-2 Digital rally clock with remote, map light and Terratrip intercom with headsets. The GT continues to present really well in Ermine White with a distinctive Forest Green triple stripe and door roundels and the coachwork appears exceptionally straight remaining very tidy underneath. This is a good-looking period Rally Car and it’s classic appearance is enhanced by the silver alloys, Speedwell wing mirrors and four PIAA rally-spec front lights. We understand that the car has been enjoyed in light competition throughout Europe and even on the hugely challenging Monte Carlo Rallye and the Winter Raid it proved totally reliable.UCA was purchased by our vendor on 2/03/2019 and he informs us that during his ownership “I changed the silencer to make it less loud, changed the crown wheel and pinion from the 4.7 to a more roadworthy 3,9, fitted a new lightweight starter motor, renewed the interior carpet and soundproofing, changed the wheel studs so that it could take the Minilite wheels, fitted 5 new Revolution Minilites with new Toyo tyres, renewed the steering idler arm and associated bushes, and finally took it to a specialist to balance the twin Weber carbs.”Included in the large history files are technical articles, workshop manuals, vehicle manuals, the original ‘Carnet de Service’, magazine articles featuring this motor car, acres of invoices, the UK V5 registration document and much more. It's also supplied with six original steel rims with snow tyres.This not a weary, rally-rashed, Forest Ford but a delightfully presented Sixties sporting saloon that appears to have been cared for during its fifty years in Switzerland and certainly since it returned here in 2016. Only 59 Mk1 GTs are believed to be still current in the UK, and very few will be left-hand drive with four-doors, so this is a rare car in its own right. Prepared for road rallies, stage rallies, regularity runs or just chasing other Cortinas about on an Owner’s Club day out, this could be an ideal entry into the gently competitive word of classic rallying.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: CORTINAYear: 1966Chassis Number: BA78FU70443Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 120E-6015Make: Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

He obviously appreciated the gift as he was to retain the car until 2002 covering over 77,000 miles in his beloved Mustang. Pleasingly, the original US Registration Document and Owner’s Manual remain with the car secure in the fascinating History File.Substantially rust-free, as are most California cars, the Mustang was imported into the UK in 2002 by Steve Smith of ‘Vibration Free’ as the basis for creating a competition car suitable for historic endurance racing and comprehensive details of the build and preparation are in the file. The bodyshell was fully stripped and seam-welded prior to being delivered to Andy Robinson Race Cars for an FIA specification roll-cage to be welded in. It was then carefully prepared and superbly finished in Guardsman Blue Metallic with white 'Daytona' stripes a colour scheme originally used on the 1965 racing debut of the Daytona Cobra Coupé. The 289ci (4,727cc) V8 engine was built to the correct FIA specification and is currently rated at 396bhp. It has an all-steel billet bottom-end with forged racing pistons, MLS head gaskets, Tim Adams camshafts and valve train. The fuel system incorporates an 80-litre foam-filled tank that feeds the Holley mechanical fuel pump and Holley Performance 650 double-pumper carburettor through braided hoses. To keep everything cool there is a high-capacity, five-row, copper radiator with remote header and bleeds to the rear of heads, electric fan and new heater matrix. Power is fed to the rear wheels through a Borg & Beck clutch assembly and a four-speed gearbox with a Hurst shifter to the Andy Robinson rear axle with 3.55:1 Gripper differential. At an engine speed of 6,500 rpm, this relates to a top speed of 145mph sitting on a set of Minilite 15" alloys shod with Avon Sport 205/70/R15 tyres.The remit was always for the car to be kept UK road-legal and was built as an Historic Endurance Competition Touring Car with FIA Appendix ‘K’ regulations in mind so consequently the car’s interior was restored with its original Deluxe interior with Pony upholstery, rear seats, radio, centre console, interior lights, and has had new wool carpets fitted. It also boasts tinted windows, a functioning heater, and remotely operated wing mirror. Everything works as intended, right down to the interior lights. To bring the car up to race spec, it’s fitted with Willans five-point harnesses, a hand-held fire extinguisher and Racetech oil temperature, oil pressure, water pressure and fuel gauges replace the standard items in the original “Rally Pac” mounting. Twin ‘Lamda’ gauges run off sensors fitted to the downpipe of each bank of cylinders.It took six years to build this car and, we understand, it was used for its designed purpose for a few years taking part in the Spa 6-Hours, lapping the circuit in 3 minutes 9 seconds, the Nürburgring Oldtimer Grand Prix and other events. We believe that the engine was refreshed after the 2009 Spa meeting with new bearings, rings and gaskets.Within the history file is a list of the car's equipment at this point;Suspension lowered, uprated and Poly-bushed with double adjustable shock absorbersHeavy-duty front spindles and bearingsShelby castor-kit and front anti-roll barKelsey Hayes four-pot brake callipers with short distance pistons to accept long-distance padsBrake linings and pads to competition specificationAndy Robinson rear axle with 3.55:1 Gripper differentialFour-speed gearbox with Hurst shifterBorg & Beck clutch assemblyFIA-compliant competition specification engine, dynamometer tested at 396bhp80-litre foam-filled fuel tankFive-row high-capacity copper radiator with remote header tankElectric cooling fanHi-po cast-iron exhaust manifolds3" twin stainless steel exhaust system with crossover and effective silencersWillans five-point harnesses (x2)Hand-held fire extinguisherRacetech gauge packTwin Lambda gauges35psi oil pressure warning lightQuad PIAA driving lightsIt seems that ABW 140C was used on the road in the intervening years and there are regular MOTs up until 28/06/2016@ 82,640 miles prior to being purchased by our vendor in April 2019. Within the informative file are 13 invoices from PT Classics of Maldon, Essex dated between August ’19 up until 21/12/2020, totalling £20,823 clearly detailing the attention that this car has received in our vendor’s ownership. These invoices are professionally presented and essential reading for any prospective purchaser. It was freshly MOT’d on the 15th of December but, more importantly, the car’s brand spanking new FIA Historic Technical Passport arrived a few days later. Dated 18/12/20 and valid until 31/12/30, the Mustang qualifies as a Competition Touring Car (CT10), Period F; 1962-1965.It appears that no expense has been spared by our vendor returning this car to sparkling health. It is simply glorious, no other word will do. A UK, road registered, FIA Mustang that’s on the button with a long MOT and 10-year HTP is probably as good as it gets and this well-prepared example in iconic colours should provide a Classic Touring Car enthusiast with endless fun until the time comes when we are all told to stop running around in petrol-powered cars.SpecificationMake: FORDModel: FIA MUSTANGYear: 1965Chassis Number: 5R07C233947Transmission: ManEngine Number: 5R07C233947Drive Side: Left-hand DriveMake: LHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images
