This iconic two-door fast-backwas Fords answer to the European markets Mustang and oozed style, with the latter 2.8i V6 deemed to be the ultimate version and continues to be widely appreciated today.

1967 Ford Transit, Jennings Coachbuilders Roadranger Original Motorhome. Jennings Coachbulders of Sandbach, spawned from the 1930s, building touring caravans and later overtook their peers to become recognised as the best in that field. Motorhome production ceased during the war years, restarting in the sixties and Jennings launched the Roadranger in 1965 using a Ford Transit chassis and cab supplied directly to the Jennings Factory. More smaller less expensive Rootes Commer variants were sold than this very rare Ford Roadranger which was the top end of the motor caravan market. This particular example: - 3 owners form new. - New Mot. Mileage 67000mls when the third owner had fitted a replacement USED Nissan 2.7 diesel engine replacement and an automatic gearbox in order to improve the driving experience and it has subsequently covered a further 13000 mls. Please note that the mileage on the used Nissan engine when fitted cannot be verified. The total mileage is thus 67000mls (Ford) plus 13000 mls on the used Nissan engine. As a result of this the vehicle is now fitted with two speedometers. In order to preserve the original dash board (and instructed by DVLA the original speedo was zeroed ). A brand new speedo was fitted as a pod above the dashboard which reads just under 13,000 miles today. The new speedo was necessary to accommodate the replacement gearbox ratios. A gearbox temperature gauge is also fitted as a pod above the dash. The general condition of the Motor-home is good roadworthy and useable and has made several trips to France. Ultimately there are some minor rust bubbles on the steel Ford cab body, which can be easily rectified. The remaining bodywork is aluminium coachbuilt by Jennings. The main need for renovation is the interior whereby particular areas such as the top dash vinyl covering as well as the vinyl door panels and rubber seals are perished. While needing some TLC, the van is extremely original with all the coach-built period Jennings fittings such as fridge, cooker, lighting, panelling and furniture still intact - a real blessing to have such insight into the time. The vehicle is also very practical with front seats which easily convert to a bed and the large rear sofa seats make a capacious double bed. This is a true sixties time-warp and would suit anyone interested in an eye turning motorcaravan of the era. Whilst it does need some TLC, due to its low registered mileage it makes for a rather special rare, original collectible. Registration number UTU 792E. Vehicle modified with disc brakes and a brake servo. The front suspension has also been upgraded.- Our buyers premium on all cars, motorbikes and scooters is 10% + VAT. - We encourage any interested parties to inspect the vehicle on our 4th September viewing day (10am-2pm) and prior to sale on Sunday 5th (from 10am-12 noon) to satisfy themselves on the car's condition, please check our buying terms and conditions for cars available online or via email. - Transportation options may be available, please contact us for a quote. Condition Report: Vehicle modified with disc brakes and a brake servo. The front suspension has also been upgraded. Painting work and interior in fair condition, would benefit from further work. See images of inside and out. Engine has started every time under our care & idles smoothly. Could do with some atheistic investment but has original Jennings fittings. See description for full history and mileage information of vehicle and engine.
1939 Jaguar SS100 SE Saloon, White, 4-door with wire wheels. Launched in September 1935, the 1½-litre Jaguar was to be adopted by SS, retailing for just under £300 with a top speed of 75mph. The SE model was produced in very small numbers making this 1½-litre saloon a real historical artefact. Although not an outright performance car, the SS100 SE Saloon included some flashy features such as the dash panel which is generously equipped and includes the luxury of a rev counter. This particular motor car comes in a gorgeous white colour with wire wheels which work well alongside the sunburst door panels and pockets, popularised by 1930s stylists. Its distinctive style carried through even in post war designs, with original pre-war cars being very well respected amongst enthusiasts.This Jaguar SS100s registration book shows that it has had one owner from new. It is clear from inspection that it has been well cared for over the years after spending its entire life with one family. The history file indicates that is must have been one of the final models - a Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate showing the original production details for this car such as it being manufactured on 21st August 1939 and dispatched to the CH Truman dealership of Nottingham on the 25th, a mere 6 days before World War Two broke out.The cars originality is backed up by a short vehicle inspection report within its history by the Jaguar Drivers Club (intended for the previous keepers estate executor stating ...this SS Jaguar 1.5 4-door saloon is a very original, well presented example of this model. I believe that the vehicle was stored for many years in a garage / barn and conditions must have been excellent to be preserved so well. The vehicle has been recommissioned to MOT standards. I have no hesitation that this superb example is given historic status. The vehicle drives exactly as you would expect with all the correct noises and a distinct vaguery to the steering due to the fitted cross ply tyres. The tan hide is in excellent order with evidence of a couple of repairs adding to the over all presence. The wood dash and picnic tables are without damage and the instrumentation is as per original, all gauges are working, however the fuel gauge has the odd off day! Steel sliding roof works and is watertight. Semaphores working correctly although the right side sometimes refuses to sit in its place! These pre war SS motor cars are becoming very hard to find, an easy car to own, enjoy and maintain, spares are plentiful and an active club provides help and advice. Generally this fine old car is far from mint condition, however an able Diy'er could cope with improvements and servicing. The current keepers believe the car to have been stored away for a number of years and was recently reissued with its original registration number GAU 696 by the DVLA, 81,000 miles from new. - Our buyers premium on all cars, motorbikes and scooters is 10% + VAT. - We encourage any interested parties to inspect the vehicle on our 4th September viewing day (10am-2pm) and prior to sale on Sunday 5th (from 10am-12 noon) to satisfy themselves on the car's condition, please check our buying terms and conditions for cars available online or via email. - Transportation options may be available, please contact us for a quote.

1970 Bond Equipe GT ConvertibleRegistration no. XTB 172HChassis no. n/aOdometer reading: TBCMOT: Exempt*Barn find Equipe Convertible*Sold for restoration*Single ownership since 1972*Solid bodyFootnotes:Based on the Triumph Herald, the Bond Equipe was a 2+2 sports car that was designed to be competitively priced against much more expensive rivals. First introduced in 1963 and styled by Lawrie Bond, the Equipe utilised the chassis, windscreen, scuttle assembly and the doors from the Herald, but otherwise the fibreglass body was entirely new. Offered as both a fastback GT and a convertible, the design of the Equipe was a surprisingly successful blend of subtle Herald styling cues but with a much sleeker body. Bought by the late vendor's husband in 1972, this 1970 convertible example has been dry stored in a barn since 1979. Today the car has not been used for some time and is now being sold for restoration. The fibreglass body has held up remarkably well over the years and is solid, however the chrome has some larger patches of rust. The interior however is in a surprisingly presentable condition. The car is overall complete and comes with some history including its V5 log book. A rare car with good potential.Vendor Score Total: 20/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

Property of a deceased's estatec.1934 Daimler V26 Saloon/Limousine ProjectCoachwork by Barker & CoRegistration no. OGL 358Chassis no. 41299Odometer reading: N/AMOT: Exempt*Pomeroy-designed 3,746cc straight eight engine*Engine original to chassis*Offered for restorationFootnotes:By the mid-1930s, Daimler's eight-cylinder engines were the work of designer Laurence Pomeroy, previously with Vauxhall, for whom he had designed the Prince Henry of 1912, arguably the world's first sports car. The first of Pomeroy's overhead-valve straight eights was the 3,746cc 'V26' of 1934, which boasted a nine-main-bearing crankshaft, detachable cylinder head, and twin Stromberg carburettors, and was mounted in a chassis of 11' 10' wheelbase. This car's original engine is still in the chassis. Dating from 1987, when the car was purchased from one Charles Canavan, correspondence on file indicates that the cylinder head was welded, pressure tested and the mating face reground at that time. The engine and all its ancillaries are complete, although the top half is awaiting re-assembly. The engine turns on the crank handle. The coachwork is aluminium and the doors have not dropped on this low-mileage vehicle. Retaining all its original instruments in the dashboard, the original interior needs restoration. The windscreen is of the opening type and in good order, but the roof needs replacement. The car is finished in yellow and black, while along the sides at door-top level is an original attractive plated metal 'flash'. The Daimler radiator surround is in good order. At the rear is an original luggage rack and trademark slatted fuel tank cover. There is also a side mounted spare wheel and the vehicle is 'rolling'.Vendor Score Total: 34/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1910 Overland Model 46 RoadsterRegistration no. BF 7057Chassis no. 46366Odometer reading: TBCMOT: Exempt*199 cubic inch four-cylinder engine*Right-hand drive*Electric starterTo view a video of this lot please click hereFootnotes:Rescued from bankruptcy in 1907 by John North Willys, Overland was re-established in a new factory by the summer of 1908. Building four-cylinder models only from 1910, the revitalised firm went from strength to strength; by the start of WWI only Ford could claim a higher output. Sliding-gear transmissions had replaced the previous epicyclic type in 1909, co-incidentally the same year that Ford introduced the Model T that would use the latter form of transmission for the next 17 years! The Overland Model 46 was newly introduced for the 1911 model year, when Overland were among the largest producers of cars in America.This Model 46 two-seat roadster has right-hand drive, as did all Overlands before 1915. Little is known of the car's history, though the vendor has been told it was imported into Norway from the USA in 1969 and then to Sweden by the family he purchased it from. The vendor advises us that the Overland has a very nice patina (though not concours) and is an excellent, all original car that starts on the button and drives really well. It benefits from an electric starter, the installation of which has not affected any other components. Other notable features include a foot-operated warning bell and a foot-operated 'town/country' flap-valve in the exhaust system. Accompanying paperwork consists of a V5C document and copies of the Norwegian registration documents and FIVA Identity Card.Vendor Score Total: 56/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1964 Jaguar Mark 2 3.4-Litre Sports SaloonRegistration no. KDK 696Chassis no. 165944Odometer reading: 76,400MOT: Exempt*An older restoration*Recent professional engine rebuild*Numerous sensible upgradesTo view a video of this lot please click hereFootnotes:Its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate shows that this overdrive-equipped Mark 2 was originally finished in Silver Blue with dark blue leather interior. The car was supplied new via Somerset Motors and first owned by a Mrs H Gibson. Between 2003 and 2015 the Jaguar was treated to a full restoration, during which the exterior colour was changed to the current British Racing Green and the interior re-trimmed in cream hide with matching carpets (see photographs on file). Other noteworthy features include power assisted steering; Coombs spats; wire wheels (including spare); louvred bonnet; S-Type front brakes; up-rated suspension; ribbed cam covers; and Magna-Spark electronic ignition. The current vendor acquired the Mark 2 at a UK auction in 2016, since when the engine has been professionally rebuilt. Carried out by the late Colin Groome of Newton Abbot, Devon, the rebuild included a re-bore; new pistons; and conversion to accept unleaded fuel, while the clutch was replaced at the same time. Other recent works include installing rear seat belts; replacing several brake lines; and fitting a set of new tyres in 2020 (fewer than 1,000 miles ago). Sensibly up-rated to cope with today's demanding traffic conditions, this well cared for Jaguar Mark 2 comes with a comprehensive history file dating back to 2001 and evidencing regular maintenance.Vendor Score Total: 94/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1964 Lamborghini Type FL3 Model 5C Crawler TractorRegistration no. not registeredChassis no. 16807Odometer reading: N/AMOT: N/A*Formerly in use in a French vineyard*Brought to the UK circa 10 years ago*'On the button'To view a video of this lot please click hereFootnotes:After serving as a mechanic in the Regia Aeronautica during WW2, Ferruccio Lamborghini started building tractors in 1948. He used war surplus materials at first but by 1952 was making tractors of his own design powered by water-cooled MWM engines. Later he developed his own engines and by 1959 they were air-cooled. The success of the tractor business enabled Lamborghini to branch out into motor manufacturing in 1963; the rest, as they say, is history. In 1970 a large order of tractors for Bolivia was cancelled following a coup d'état, hitting the company's finances. Eventually all the tractors were sold, but Ferruccio had decided to concentrate his efforts on his automobile business and in 1973 sold the Lamborghini Trattori company to the SAME group. Lamborghini's tractors are now prized by collectors.Powered by a three-cylinder diesel engine, this Lamborghini crawler tractor was brought to the UK around 10 years ago having previously been in use in a vineyard the South of France. Its original paintwork has a lovely patina and the vehicle is described as 'on the button'. This superb tractor would make a distinctive and welcome addition to any significant collection of classic agricultural machinery, or a unique addition to any Lamborghini collection. It has the potential to draw crowds, especially when exhibited alongside the most beautiful supercars sharing the marque's famous 'Raging Bull' emblem.

1985 Land Rover 90 V8 County Station Wagon 4x4Registration no. D216 CRWChassis no. SALLDVBV7AA233483Odometer reading: 38,900MOT: 27/10/21*Former Land Rover factory demonstrator*Exceptionally original and unmolested*Present ownership for 19 years*Only 38,000 warranted miles from new To view a video of this lot please click hereFootnotes:Offered here is one of the very first production Land Rover 90 V8s: a short-wheelbase County seven-seater station wagon with the early 'lift door handles'. Other notable features include Alpine roof lights; top-of-the-range cloth trim; brown carpeting; the five-speed gearbox; and power steering. This quite exceptional vehicle has covered a mere 38,000 warranted miles from new and is totally original, with galvanised capping and unpainted rivets, just as it left the factory. An extremely rare find, it was featured as the cover story by Land Rover Enthusiast in May 2002 and again ten years later. This example left the factory on 28th March 1985, prior to the 90 V8's official announcement, and it remained unregistered until 17th September 1986. During those 18 months, the vehicle remained the property of Land Rover Ltd and was used as a factory demonstrator before being registered as 'D216 CRW', a recognised factory registration. It was acquired in 2002 by the vendor, who is responsible for 21,000 of the 38,000 miles recorded. His first job was to commission the superior full under-body protection offered by 'Before N After' in Newbury. Never re-sprayed and totally original, 'D216 CRW' comes with the original road wheels as well as a set of Wolf Land Rover wheels and tyres as shown. A four-barrel Holley 390 carburettor, sports manifolds and a stainless steel exhaust are the only improvements made.Vendor Score Total: 92/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

1933 Sunbeam 23.8hp 'Folding Head' CoupéRegistration no. SN169Chassis no. 7112ROdometer reading: TBCMOT: Exempt*One of only 14 produced*Known ownership history*Expertly maintained by Dr Jim CatnachFootnotes:One of 14 produced, of which only two are known to survive, this handsome Sunbeam 23.8hp Folding Head Coupé comes with an extensive history file. The history of 'SN 169' has been well researched by a previous owner, John Tomsett, and is recounted in his article in the STD Register Journal of winter 2009 (copy on file and well worth a read). Mr Tomsett's research revealed that the Sunbeam's first owner was David Johnstone-Smith, a wealthy Scottish accountant. When Mr Johnstone-Smith passed away, the Sunbeam was sold to his local doctor, Dr Thomas Collier-Findlay. Circa 1955/56, 'SN 169' was purchased by Malcolm Templeton. In 1970 Mr Templeton sold the Sunbeam and it was purchased in the 1990s by Tony Howarth. 'SN 169' then passed through a number of dealers in the North West including Mark Prosser in Altrincham, who had the car re-commissioned by Merlin Classics. From John Aitkins the car passed to Peter Webb in 1992, remaining with him until purchased by John Tomsett. The current owner, a Sunbeam enthusiast, acquired 'SN 169' in 2012 and has enjoyed it with his family as well as the odd excursion at Goodwood (photographs on file). During this time, the car has been expertly maintained by the guru of pre-war Sunbeams, Dr Jim Catnach of Lincolnshire, with invoices for his work on file together with numerous photographs of previous restoration works.
