The legend that is the 22B - rare, bespoke and hugely covetedOne of the 399 22Bs built for sale to the domestic market. Created by Subaru in celebration of the Peter Stevens-designed WRC 1997 Championship-winning rally carCar #326 of the 400 JDM examples. Imported into the UK in 1998, so as good as it gets without being a super-rare 'Type-UK car'The 22B is endowed with a specially developed 2.2-litre EJ22-engine with unique forged pistons (restricted to 276bhp for the JDM), a seam-welded bodyshell (supposedly identical in shape to the WRC), special gearing, a twin-plate racing clutch, strengthened drive/prop shafts, driver-adjustable front/rear diff and bigger Brembo brakes. The suspension uses unique forged aluminium lower links, rose-joined transverse links, inverted Bilstein dampers, unique Eibach springs and BBS alloys30,200 verifiable miles, three former keepers and a recent full specialist recommissioning service (including cambelt) and inspectionComing to market from a real enthusiast, having owned the car for the last 16 yearsMuch history, books, import papers, even photos of the car arriving into the UK portFitted with an upgraded ECU (including anti-lag and launch control) and a handmade de-cat'd Hayward & Scott exhaust systemBuilt to celebrate both the marque's 40th anniversary and its third straight WRC manufacturers' title, the 22B STi was billed as the production version of Subaru's already-iconic two-door World Rally Car. With its swollen wheel arches, high-rise rear spoiler and an 80mm increase in width, it was as close to Colin McRae's rally car as any mortal was ever going to get. It wasn't a homologation special but more of a road-going replica. The '22' in the model's name referred to the engine capacity, which was increased from 1994cc to 2212cc. Officially, the turbocharged flat-four developed 276bhp, but the actual figure almost certainly started with a three. The 'B', meanwhile, stood for Bilstein, the damper supplier.Only 399 22Bs were built for sale to the domestic market (another 25 were made for overseas markets) and they pre-sold almost instantly in early 1998. The car cost a shade under £40,000 in period, or close to £70,000 in today's money.The 22B is endowed with a specially developed 2.2-litre EJ22-engine with unique forged pistons, a seam-welded bodyshell (supposedly identical in shape to the WRC), special gearing, a twin-plate racing clutch, strengthened drive/prop shafts, driver-adjustable front/rear diff and bigger brakes; the suspension uses unique forged aluminium lower links, rose-joined transverse links, inverted Bilstein dampers and unique Eibach springs, plus a set of 17-inch BBS alloy wheels.The car presented here a 1998 Subaru Impreza 22B-STI, car #326 of the 400 JDM examples, which was imported into the UK in 1998 (the same year as manufacture), so really as good as it gets without being a super-rare 'Type-UK car' (Subaru UK officially imported only 16 22Bs and passed them on to Prodrive for modification, with 3 cars known to have been issued with the '#000 number', belonging to Dave Richards of Prodrive, Colin McRae and Nicky Grist).The car has been owned in the UK by genuine enthusiasts who have obviously managed to keep it in superb condition. Our vendor bought the car back in 2004 and has used it very little but ensured it was stored professionally and was treated to a recent full service (all fluids, filters, cam-belt etc.) by a Subaru specialist. Accompanied by its original Subaru booklets from Japan (in which appears information referring to servicing), import papers and photos of the car arriving into a UK port, plus numerous receipts from such UK specialists as Roger Clark Motorsport Ltd. and G-Force Motorsport, this is a splendid example of an appreciating icon.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

Official UK press car and one of 53 right-hand drive examplesSuperbly presented in Grand Prix White with Guards Red Fuchs alloys LSD, 5-speed G50, shortened gear lever, Sport shock absorbers, top-tinted screen Official UK Porsche GB press car. Extensive history file. 89,700 milesFull-service history. Certificate of Authenticity. Original bill of sale. Both original keysWhen Porsche wanted to build a 9112.7 RS for the 1980's, it came up with the Carrera 3.2 Club Sport, a car which ~ like an RS has gone on to become a sought-after classic. In common with its RS predecessor, the key to the Club Sport is lightness. Without going crazy, Porsche shaved around 40kg off the standard car's 1210kg. This was done by omitting unnecessary 'luxuries' including electric windows, rear seats, rear wiper, radio, rear quarter panels, door pocket lids, central locking, engine-and luggage-compartment lights, passenger sun visor, underseal (although some UK cars retained some protection), some sound-deadening (that in the engine bay and roof lining remained), and even the coat hooks. There were manual heater controls (as fitted on earlier 911s) instead of an automatic thermostat system, whilst air-conditioning was deleted in markets where that was standard.In addition, the car was fitted with a lighter starter motor, simplified (and therefore lighter) wiring loom, and an alloy spare wheel. Despite the reduced specification, the Club Sport's interior was far from austere, with full carpeting (including over the rear seat area) and comfortable pinstripe fabric seats, although some examples had leather seats. Mechanically, the car retained the standard 3.2 engine, albeit blueprinted, fitted with lighter hollow inlet valves, and located on stiffer mounts. A revised engine management system increased the rev limit from 6520rpm to 6840rpm but, bizarrely, Porsche didn't claim any increase in power over the standard engine's 231bhp. The power was fed through a G50 gearbox with a shorter throw and taller fourth and fifth gears, and a limited-slip differential. Suspension, meanwhile, was uprated with nothing more than Bilstein gas dampers all round. The majority of Club Sport's were finished in Grand Prix White with the option of large 'Carrera CS' side decals in Guards Red. The Fuchs alloy wheels usually had matching red centres, but could also be specified in black or white. Only 340 Club Sports were built, with 53 right-hand-drive examples coming to the UK, where road testers received it with open arms; Motor claimed it to be the fastest 911 it had driven, and good value at some £3,000 cheaper than the standard car.The example we have here is finished in Grand Prix White and Black leatherette with pinstripe black seats. As a factory Club Sport, it comes with an LSD, 5-speed G50 gearbox, shortened gear lever, forged alloy wheels, 'Sport' shock absorbers, top tinted windscreen, and Clubsport Equipment. It also retains its original Blaupunkt radio cassette.This stunning 3.2 Club Sport (number 22 out of the 53 RHD UK cars delivered) was supplied through JCT600 in Bradford to Porsche themselves and subsequently became the official Press Car as confirmed by the history file. This is a superb read and even includes an original press release (addressed to Mr Tony Dron no less!). The car has been sold throughout the years by both Porsche themselves and well respected Porsche specialists. The service history mirrors this and dates all the way back to the initial 'Running-in' service, with invoices to verify from the current day back to 1992. Currently owned and loved by Silverstone Auctions M-D, Nick Whale, under his ownership the Club Sport has been maintained by respected Porsche Specialists, Tuthill Porsche, and was last serviced in 2019, with invoices on file. The original invoice from Porsche GB to the first private owner is also included. Supplied with all the history detailed above, the Porsche CoA, the stamped original service booklet and 2 original keys. The 3.2 Club Sport is a very rare machine, a desirable 80s Porsche for the serious collector and tipped to seriously increase in value. It is a true drivers car ~ and one with such an interesting history is surely the one to own.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The elegant and rare Chapron-bodied DS; UK/RHD, manual and fully restoredFirst registered in May 1965 in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, this is a rare right-hand drive, manual gearbox example, wearing its original registration number and accompanied by its green logbook and copy of its original invoice Chassis 4424017 was the last DS19M Chapron made in 1965Subject of a £30,000-plus restoration in August 1997, with input and parts supplied from numerous marque specialistsIn total, just 1,365 Cabriolet d'Usines (factory convertibles) were officially built; there were c50 examples produced in right-hand drive, with probably less than 10 surviving todayWhile a few European coach-builders offered cabriolet Citroen DSs, it was the conversion work of Henri Chapron that was considered the most stylish and elegantAt twice the price of the saloon, the DS cabriolet needed to be specialThis car has formed part of a large collection with little or no use. An element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once againJust as it had done 21 years previously with the revolutionary 'Traction Avant', Citroën stunned the world again in 1955 with the launch of the strikingly styled 'DS'. Beneath the shark-like newcomer's aerodynamically efficient, low-drag bodyshell there was all-independent, self-levelling, hydro-pneumatic suspension; plus, power-operated brakes, clutch, and steering. No European car would match the DS's ride quality for several years, the fundamental soundness of Citroën's ahead-of-its-time hydro-pneumatic suspension being demonstrated by its survival in present-day top-of-the-range models. The DS's original 1,911cc, overhead-valve, long-stroke engine was replaced in 1966 by a short-stroke 1,985cc unit, also available in 2,175cc and 2,347cc capacities, while other DS developments included a restyled front end, swivelling headlights, fuel injection, and a five-speed gearbox.Other models offered alongside the original DS were the ID (a simplified, cheaper version), the cavernous Safari estate, and the two-door Décapotable (convertible), the latter boasting coachwork by Henri Chapron. (Chapron's first convertibles had been produced independently of Citroën, but the factory eventually gave the project its blessing). Despite a much-reduced demand for bespoke coachwork after WW2, Chapron survived thanks to his exemplary creations for Delahaye, Talbot and Salmson, switching to offering bespoke versions of unitary construction models when motor manufacturers began to abandon the traditional separate chassis frame. The arrival of the Citroën DS in 1955 presented Chapron with a fresh opportunity that would result in his name being forever linked with this remarkable car.Citroën's own Décapotables were built on the longer, stronger chassis of the ID Break (Estate) but the model was never produced in England, where Citroën's right-hand drive cars were assembled at its Slough factory up to 1966. In total, 1,365 'usine' (factory) convertibles were made with either the DS19 or DS21 engine between 1960 and 1971, while Chapron built a further 389 of his own, the last in 1973.Built in 1964, this DS19M (for Mécanique, indicating a manual gearbox) Décapotable (body/shell number: 0013001220) is a right-hand drive model, a particular specification for the British market, promoted as the model with the slightly uprated DW engine. It has the original-style front end pre-dating the revised version introduced in 1967.The car was first registered in May 1965 in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire and went on to have six owners up until 1976, when it was taken off the road with a view to some bodywork restoration. The story goes that this was started but not finished. The car spent most of the 1980s and 1990s sat in the Citroën dealers in Llandudno, North Wales, in the ownership of the parts manager Mr David Williams. In early 1997 the dealership closed, so Mr Williams offered the car for sale, still in need of restoration and in April 1997, the car, complete and running, was bought by Mr Tony Stokoe. The odometer reading was 48,221 miles and was believed correct given how genuine and mechanically sound the car was. In August 1997, Mr Stokoe set about commissioning a thorough restoration of the car, documented with photos on a CD-ROM, employing Citroën specialist 'Installation Services' of Oswestry to remedy the bodywork and hood, painting the car Royal Blue (AC.619), an original DS Chapron colour. Andrew Brodie of Brodie Engineering, London worked as a consultant on the project and supplied many Chapron parts and specialist trim items. Likewise, Graham Lange at the Oxford French Car Company provided many early DS parts. The car was stripped, repaired, and welded with new and correct panels fitted as appropriate, with all mechanical components being overhauled. The seats, trim and hood all were all renewed with the correct materials.This beautiful DS is now ready for a new owner but will require a small amount of recommissioning due to being stored. A real opportunity to acquire a very desirable car knowing all the major work has been already carried out. In recent years, this car has formed part of a large collection and as such has received little or no use and an element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once again.

Citroën's flagship car of the era, a wonderful collaborationA striking example in a great colour combination - there is nothing quite like an SMEarly paperwork (1974/1975) shows evidence of the car residing in Madrid, Spain, being maintained and serviced at Citroën; a 2010 receipt shows it was bought from a Madrid seller by Classics & Cabriolets Collection of EssexA marriage of Citroën and Maserati led to the birth of a highly individual coupe - the SM was a two-door, four-seat Coupe powered by a 2670cc, Maserati, four-cam, 90-degree V6 producing 180bhp at 6,250rpm, all fed through the front wheelsCitroën's flagship vehicle capable of 0-60 mph in around eight seconds and a top speed of 140mphComplex and innovative; the suspension was Hydropneumatic and the steering was variable-assist hydraulicThis car has formed part of a large collection with little or no use. An element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once againIn 1961, Citroën began work on 'Project S', a sports variant of the revolutionary Citroën DS. As was customary for the firm, many running concept vehicles were developed, increasingly complex and upmarket from the DS. Citroën purchased Maserati in 1968 with the intention of harnessing Maserati's high-performance V6 engine technology to produce a true Gran Turismo car combining the sophisticated Citroën suspension. The result was the Citroën SM - a two-door, four-seat coupé powered by a 2670cc, Maserati, four-cam, 90-degree V6 producing 180bhp at 6,250rpm, all fed through the front wheels.First shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1970 and going on sale in France in September of that year, all factory-produced cars were left-hand drive, although right-hand conversions were supplied to the UK and Australia.The origin of the model name 'SM' is not completely clear. The 'S' may derive from the Project 'S' designation and the 'M' perhaps refers to Maserati; hence SM is often assumed to stand for 'Systeme Maserati' or 'Sports Maserati'. Another common alternative is 'Série Maserati' but others have suggested it is short for 'Sa Majesté' (Her Majesty in French) which aligns with the common DS model's nickname 'La Déesse' (The Goddess).In 1972 the 2.7 was changed from triple Weber 42DCNFs to Bosch Jetronic injection although later cars returned to the Webers. It was capable of 0-60 in around 8 seconds and had a top speed in fifth gear of 140 mph. The suspension was 'Hydropneumatic' and the steering was variable-assist hydraulicThe car presented here is a 1971 Citroën SM 2.7 V6 (so with Weber 42DCNFs) with accompanying early paperwork (1974/75) showing evidence of it residing in Madrid being maintained and serviced at Citroën. A much later receipt shows it was bought in 2010 from a Madrid seller to 'Classics & Cabriolets Collection' of Essex. Enjoying the sunny climate of Madrid for most of its life should make for a solid example and was obviously deemed worthy of purchase by a UK classic car specialist.A fascinating car, the SM is considered a real design and technology maverick, and it is wholly understandable why they continue to generate such interest.In recent years, this car has formed part of a large collection and as such has received little or no use and an element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once again.

The incredibly chic and revered DS21 Décapotable, with original documents.A wonderful DS21 Décapotable (Cabriolet) with many accompanying original documentsDelivered new in June 1970 to the eminent Professor of Surgery Dr. Theo Burckhart in GermanyThorough (1970-2005) ownership/servicing continuity documented in original booklets and invoices whilst in GermanyThe Citroën DS is an icon and the Décapotable ranks among its most sought-after variantsIn all, there were 1,365 factory cabriolets built: 770 DS19s, 483 DS21s and 112 ID19s True cabriolets have doors four inches longer than the saloons and use double latchesThis car has formed part of a large collection with little or no use. An element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once againUsed by everyone from the humble cabbie to the president himself, the Citroën DS is an icon and the Décapotable ranks among its most sought-after variants. Designer Flaminio Bertoni planned a convertible when the DS19 was launched in 1955, but teething troubles put the brakes on the idea. Many of the 80,000 buyers who placed orders at the show were still waiting two years later.The DS19 relied on a complex, integrated hydraulic system to control the suspension, steering, gearshift, and brakes. Critical tolerances were at the limits of available tooling, and mechanics were baffled, especially when workshop manuals were delayed. However, the DS' rigid box chassis and unstressed skin meant a convertible was an attractive possibility, and coachbuilder Chapron stepped forward. His "La Croisette" cabriolet, named for the promenade in Cannes, appeared in 1958. Citroën would not sell Chapron separate chassis, so he was reduced to buying complete cars and dismantling them. Even after the firm relented and had Chapron build "Usine", or factory cabriolets in 1961, he continued making his own customs.In all, there were 1,365 factory cabriolets built: 770 DS19s, 483 DS21s, and 112 ID19s. Never common, the popularity of the cabriolet has never waned. Citroën was still receiving orders long after official production ceased in 1971, with the last car completed in 1978. The cabriolets were outfitted in the height of luxury. There were 15 paint choices, 13 shades of leather upholstery, and three carpet colours, allowing more than 76 possible combinations. Engines ranged from 66hp at first, to 141hp. Despite apparent similarities with the saloons, there are critical differences between real DS convertibles and the 'homemade' variety.True cabriolets like this one have doors four inches longer than the saloons and use double latches. Two strips of brightwork run along the side of the car, one at the crease of the door and one at the rocker panel. The tail is one long, sweeping piece, and the boot lid is fibreglass. Cabriolets also have two jacking points along the side, as the rear bumper does not remove like on the saloon, so the car must be lifted higher to change the wheel.The car presented here is a 1970 Citroën DS21 Décapotable, which amazingly retains its original service booklet, manuals, and German registration book. This latter piece of evidence tells us that the car was purchased new by Professor of Surgery, Dr Theo Burckhart, who ensured it was regularly serviced, right up until he sold it to Frau Donate Kruger in 1976, who later became Frau Donate Thrun (with either her name(s) or her husband's Herr Bernd Thrun appearing on numerous invoices), keeping the car up until c2005 (but more than likely until it was exported to the UK - it was originally MOT'd in the UK in 2007 before going to Budapest). It then returned to the UK in 2009/10, indicating c90,000 km and registered 114 XUY, and was sold by 'Classics & Cabriolets Collection' of Essex.In recent years, Citroen DS Cabriolet prices have climbed due to their status, rarity and sheer elegance.

Just three owners from new and 33,000 miles.Registered to the first of just three owners on the 15/07/1997Supplied by Jack Barclay in Racing Green with Sandstone leather interiorAt launch, the Continental was hailed as the first "proper" Bentley for nearly 60 yearsThe 22 service stamps show a veritable Who's Who of main dealer and Bentley specialistsThe odometer reading is some 33,000 miles (atoc) and the car was last MOT'd in 2010This car has formed part of a large collection with little or no use. An element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once againBentley's 1980's resurgence had hitherto relied exclusively on models whose basic architecture was shared with other Rolls-Royce products but on display at Geneva in '85 was 'Project 90', a mocked-up coupé intended to gauge public response to the idea of a high-performance car unique to Bentley. When the real thing - the Bentley Continental R - was unveiled six years later, the waiting crowd burst into spontaneous applause. Styled with the assistance of consultants International Automotive Design, the Continental R benefited from computer-aided design and wind tunnel testing in the devising of its sleekly streamlined shape. Despite the need to incorporate non-traditional features such as doors recessed into the roof, the result looked every bit a Bentley, albeit one restated for the 1990s. Also new was the gearbox, a four-speed automatic with 'overdrive' top ratio, but the main focus of interest was the newcomer's performance. Needless to say, this was outstanding, the combination of the Turbo R engine in the new wind-cheating shape cutting the 0-60mph time to 6.2 seconds and boosting top speed to in excess of 150mph.There was even more to come in the form of the Continental T. Introduced in June 1996, the latter was a short-wheelbase version of the Continental R, some 4" being taken out of the chassis aft of the doors. With 400bhp at its disposal and crouching aggressively on 18" wheels, the low-slung Continental T looked every inch the thoroughbred Bentley sports car, the cockpit with its engine-turned dashboard recalling the heroic exploits of W O's 1920s racers. The engine start button was another neat 'retro' touch. Despite weighing as much as two Ford Mondeo 1.8s, the luxuriously appointed Continental T was certainly no slouch, racing to 60mph in a tyre-shredding 5.8 seconds on its way to a (governor limited) top speed of 156mph. Equally eye-watering was the price: £220,312 at time of launch.Supplied new via Jack Barclay in July 1997, this Continental T has covered only 33,000 miles from new and comes with a full service history with Jack Barclay, Nine Elms to July 2002 and then Michael Powles, Norwich to 2008. The car was last serviced by P & A Wood in September 2009 at 32,964 miles. There are 22 recorded services with fewer than 1,000 miles between many of them, indicating a fastidious approach to care and maintenance. Finished in Racing Green with Sandstone hide interior, the car comes with specification sheets listing fully veneered door cappings, sports-style steering wheel, Spruce hide piping, roof-mounted aerial and Burr Walnut centre console among the special factory-fitted options. The previous owner purchased the car at auction in 2010 and it changed hands in 2014 to the third registered keeper. It has formed a part of a large collection which included some historically significant Bentley R-Type Continentals and S-series drophead-coupes. The odometer reading is some 33,000 miles, at the time of cataloguing, and the car was last MOT'd in 2010. Although stored correctly and presenting well, the car hasn't had much in the way of maintenance or servicing and consequently is being sold as a "non-runner". We would caution any buyer to treat the car to a thorough going over upon delivery.In recent years this car has formed part of a large collection and as such has received little or no use and an element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once again.

One of just 100 examples of the S3 Flying Spur.Initially registered to the first of three owners on the 25/03/1966One of the final S-Series-derived Bentleys before the introduction of the T1Believed to be one of just 100 S3 Continental coachbuilt by H.J. MullinerShowing an odometer reading of 46,667 miles (atoc) and last MOT'd in 2009This car has formed part of a large collection with little or no use. An element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once againIntroduced in 1955, the Bentley S-Type and equivalent Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud saloons were thoroughly modern, spacious, comfortable, quiet and powerful. In production for 10 years, they were the final series-production coach-built cars from Crewe.Building on the legendary status of the ground-breaking R-Type Continental, Bentley soon announced a two-door S-Type to be available as a stunning drophead coupé by Park Ward and a desirable and sporting 'fastback' by H.J. Mulliner.These cars were fast - thanks to aluminium coachwork, a raised compression ratio and longer final drive - and once again found favour with the super-rich of the day. It took two years before the company relented to customer demand for the pace and exclusivity of the Continental combined with the practicality of four doors. H.J. Mulliner of NW London created a superb Continental saloon, subsequently titled 'Flying Spur' after the Clan Johnstone crest of Mulliner's then managing director, Harry Talbot Johnstone. The first car was on the road in May 1957 and deliveries commenced with a pair exported to the USA just two months later. Facing competition from across the Atlantic, in August 1959 Rolls-Royce announced a new, 6,230cc V8. The light alloy unit weighed the same as the outgoing 'six but produced significantly more power, perhaps as much as 25%. The new S2 Continentals - only ever fitted with automatic gearboxes - were faster and even more refined than ever. At the same time, making use of the more compact profile of the new engine, the distinctive radiator shell was lowered and slightly raked forward.The Bentley S3, introduced in October 1962, took this process of modernisation one step further. More than simply a twin-headlamp face-lift, S3s featured a raft of other changes including another 1.5in taken off the height of the radiator, which was raked further to aid visibility. All S3 engines had bigger, 2in SU carburettors and this modification, together with raised compression, gave the cars an edge in performance, particularly above 60mph. For the first time as standard, the front seats were individual, rather than a single bench.One of the last cars built, this S3 Flying Spur was initially registered on the 25 March 1966 to the first of just three UK owners and has been significantly restored in the intervening years. Showing an odometer reading of 47,050 miles, at the time of cataloguing, and last MOT'd in 2009 this car was purchased in 2014 and has formed a part of a large collection which included some historically significant Bentley R-Type Continentals and S-series drophead-coupes. Although stored correctly and presenting well, the car hasn't had much in the way of maintenance or servicing and as such is sold as a "non-runner". We would caution any buyer to treat the car to a thorough going over upon delivery.In recent years this car has formed part of a large collection and as such has received little or no use and an element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once again.

The popular and capable TR4A, a true British classicA UK-market example with just four previous keepers, accompanied by numerous invoices and a Heritage Certificate The 4A debuted in 1965 and introduced an all-new independent rear suspension system (IRS)It combined a modern Michelotti-designed body with the chassis of the previous TR3AThe 2138cc, TR3A engine continued offering a top speed of almost 110 mph with overdriveThe four-cylinder TRs are among the easiest of post-war classic sports cars to own and maintain being supported by a multitude of component suppliers and other specialistsThis car has formed part of a large collection with little or no use. An element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once againProduced between 1961 and 1967, the Triumph TR4 combined a new, modern, and aggressive body design by famed Italian stylist, Giovanni Michelotti, with the basic chassis of the previous TR3A. The TR4 also improved passenger comfort with wind-up windows, face-level ventilation, and an optional hardtop. When equipped with the optional overdrive, the TR4 was good for a top speed of almost 110mph.Following on from the TR4, the new TR4A was phased in smoothly at the beginning of 1965 and introduced an all-new independent rear suspension system (IRS), which provided exceptional rear-wheel camber control with excellent wheel travel while softer springs improved the ride quality. Having six universal joints, three prop shafts and two trailing arms, the system was appreciatively more expensive than the previous live axle arrangement (dealers in the US reacted uncomfortably to the new design on cost grounds; to appease them, Triumph actually built the TR4A in two forms, one with a live axle primarily for the US and the TR4A IRS for other markets where the price was less sensitive). The press was happy to see an all-independent car, and Triumph was pleased to be the first British car manufacturer to have all-independent suspensions under every car in their line-up. At the Sebring 12 Hours in 1966, ample proof of the validity of the IRS was provided when three IRS-equipped TR4As achieved a remarkable 1-2-3 class victory. Body production changes for the TR4A were a new grille, decoration and badging, and a radically different chassis (designed to accept the new semi-trailing arm independent rear suspension), plus the introduction of an up-rated version of the 2138cc Vanguard unit, now with a better cylinder head breathing through a new exhaust, giving 104bhp at 4,700rpm. Other changes were new decoration, badging, sidelights and chrome trim along the door/wings, a wooden dash, and better seats. The hood too was revised with proper catches at the front, which ensured it would stay on, unlike the pitifully poor TR4 hood.The car presented here is UK-supplied, right-hand drive 1966 Triumph TR4A dating from the 6th April 1966 and sent to Puttocks Ltd. of Guildford for sale. With only four previous keepers, this 4A has led a well-cared-for life in the hands of genuine enthusiasts immediately evident by the accompanying history file showing much expenditure on maintenance and upkeep over the years. A BMC Heritage Trust Certificate is also present and evidence that at least one previous owner was a member of the TR Register. A UK-market example is relatively rare and the most desirable, giving the new owner the opportunity to step straight into a very well-regarded British classic.In recent years, this car has formed part of a large collection and as such has received little or no use and an element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once again.

Thought to be one of a handful of Duncan-bodied Alvis' remaining!One of only 27 produced in 1947/1948Manufactured by Ian Duncan, an aeronautical engineerOnly a handful are thought to still existOnce recommissioned, this lovely old Alvis will be welcomed at all motoring eventsThis car has formed part of a large collection with little or no use. An element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once againNB: The number plate in the pictures is not included in the saleProduced in 1947/8 by Ian Duncan, an aeronautical engineer, the Duncan Alvis was built utilising an Alvis TA 14 chassis and running gear. Weighing in at far less, 2.5 tons to be exact, than a regular TA14, the performance, at the time, was spritely compared to its larger sibling and was a much-admired motor vehicle when out on the road, in fact, the four-cylinder engine was reputedly good for a top speed of 75 mph and would cruise happily at 65 mph, with the downside being that in monetary terms, it cost almost twice the amount of the TA14!The example on offer here was first registered in 1948, finished in black with a tan interior it has formed part of a large collection in recent years and has unfortunately sustained some minor damage to the offside rear quarter. However, the rarity of this particular Alvis, being one of only 27 produced, means that it is a desirable item and with an amount of TLC will be something that will be welcomed at motoring events far and wide. It should be noted that during its time within the collection it has received little use and an element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once again.

One of just 98 examples of the T-Series Coupe.Built in 1968 with coachwork by H.J. Mulliner Park Ward Ltd, LondonOne of just 98 T-Series Coupes, far rarer than the Rolls-Royce Corniche CoupeBeautifully restored and finished in black with beige leatherThe odometer currently reads 88,500 miles (atoc). Last MOT'd in 2014This car has formed part of a large collection with little or no use. An element of recommissioning is to be expected to return it to the road once againRolls-Royce's adoption of unitary construction for its new Silver Shadow and T-Series Bentley necessitated the reorganisation of in-house coachbuilder H J Mulliner, Park Ward to meet the challenge of producing new designs on the Shadow floorpan. The variety of body styles offered was limited to just two - a two-door saloon or similar drophead coupé - the former arriving in March 1966 and the latter in September the following year. Some of the frontal panels were shared with the standard four-door saloon, but otherwise, the new bodyshells were unique, featuring a distinctive dipping upper wing line with parallel crease, and revised, more rounded posterior. Despite a price some 50% greater than the standard saloon's, demand was strong right from the start, a state of affairs that resulted in the introduction of the outwardly similar Corniche in 1971. At this time, the Bentley marque's image suffered from its not being sufficiently differentiated from that of Rolls-Royce, a situation that would not be remedied until the introduction of the Mulsanne Turbo in the 1980s. The result was greatly reduced sales, making a Bentley of this period a much rarer car than the equivalent Rolls-Royce. For example between 1967 and 1971, 571 Mulliner, Park Ward-bodied Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow two-door saloons were manufactured compared to a mere 98 of the Bentley version! Today, however, the revival of the Bentley marque has seen a commensurate upsurge in demand for these rare and exclusive T-Series models.Much rarer and arguably far more handsome than the Rolls-Royce version, this beautiful Bentley T-series two-door saloon was registered on the 15th November 1968 to the first of five former keepers. It was treated to a colour change in 2003 from maroon to a more traditional black. The odometer read 88,500 miles, at the time of cataloguing, and it was last MOT'd in 2014. The car was purchased in 2014 and has formed a part of a large collection which included some historically significant Bentley R-Type Continentals and S-series Drophead-Coupes. Although stored correctly and continuing to present very well, the car hasn't had much in the way of maintenance or servicing and consequently is being sold as a "non-runner".

**Sale Room Announcement** The car has aminor clutch issue, vendor has agreed to have it repaired immediatley following sale at his expense.Well restored, matching numbers, overdrive box, Mk 2 with a distinct Coombs influence.Finished in Opalescent Blue with French Blue hide and looks fabulousFitted with Coombs-style arches, louvred bonnet, painted wires and S/S exhaustElectronic ignition, high torque starter, sports manifold, handling kit, poly-bushedOriginal reg number. Comprehensive history file, Heritage Certificate, numerous invoices, photographs of the rebuild and spare keysOne of the nicest Mk2s we have seen for a long timeYour earliest inspection is encouraged and welcomedThe 2.4 saloon of 1955 had been a major step for Jaguar, marking as it did the change from a coachbuilt chassis to one of unitary construction; it was a necessary move, however, Jaguar being aware there was a strong market for a more compact saloon than the big Mk IX. Powered by a 2,482cc version of the superb twin-cam straight-six XK engine first seen in the XK120, the 2.4 offered luxury, performance and value for money. Using coil spring/wishbone front and semi-elliptic spring rear suspension, it possessed fine road manners and proved a great success, both on and off the track, particularly when the Mk1, as it subsequently became known, became available with the 3.4-litre engine in February 1957.It was in October 1959 that the Mk 2 version appeared, making a good car even better. Similar in appearance but with a much larger glass area, it boasted a wider rear track to improve roadholding together with minor front suspension changes to reduce body roll and all-round disc rather than drum brakes. Engine options included the 120bhp 2.4-litre, the 210bhp 3.4-litre and, for the first time the 220bhp 3,781cc unit of the Mk IX.Having enjoyed considerable success as a racing driver, most notably in Formula 1, John Coombs retired from racing to concentrate on running his Guildford-based Jaguar dealership. He race-prepared cars for himself and other drivers gaining particular success with Jaguar Mk 2 saloons, engineering considerably faster and more reliable cars than the standard examples.Pleasingly still sporting its original registration number, and looking absolutely delightful, '1856 RH' is finished in Opalescent Blue with French Blue Hide and sits on black-painted painted wire wheels with 3-eared spinners. It's a matching-numbers, manual box with overdrive car and has just benefitted from a total ground-up restoration to the very highest of standards. It's been professionally presented to reflect the influence that John Coombs had on the Mk 2 market back in the day and upgraded during the process to enhance the driving experience wherever possible. Coombs-style rear arches have been employed in conjunction with a louvred bonnet (note the correct amount of louvres stamped) to aesthetically lift the car, whilst mechanically the detailed engine bay, complete with a Coombs of Guildford plaque secreted away, houses electronic ignition, a high torque starter, sports manifold and a Coombs-style, Bell Stainless Steel Exhaust. The underside of the vehicle is also gleaming and fully detailed, set off by a Harvey Bailey Handling Kit and Poly-bushed suspension.Internally the Reuter reclining seats have been fully retrimmed in leather together with the door cards, new carpets and replacement headlining, as well as newly veneered woodwork and a period-style wood-rimmed steering wheel for a sportier feel.Accompanied by a comprehensive history file, its Heritage Certificate, numerous invoices, photographs of the rebuild and spare keys, this stunning Mk 2 is a testament to the craftsmen that have given this particular Jaguar a new lease of life. Now ready to be enjoyed once again, out on the open road and chatting to fellow enthusiasts about that special Coombs Jaguar look. I don't think for one minute that John Coombs, whilst popping a few louvres into the bonnet of his Mk2 to keep it a bit cooler, would have imagined that 60 years later, enthusiasts are talking about his creation in hushed tones.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

**Sale Room Announcement** This car does not have a panoramic roofA superbly presented example of the SL320 with just 13,400 milesFinished in Designo 'variocolour' green/blue with a Saffron leather interiorVery high specification from new including a panoramic roofSupplied with its dealer book pack including handbook and service booklet13,400 miles only. Surely one for the serious collectorSupplied with a NOVA Certificate showing all taxes have been paidThe R129-Series of Mercedes-Benz SL roadsters were produced from 1989 through 2002 and replaced the R107 in 1989 and were, in turn, replaced by the R230 SL-Class in 2002 for the 2003 model year. They were two-door, two-seat convertibles with an automated (electro-hydraulic), collapsible textile roof, with a shell-like, colour matched, tonneau cover. All 129s came standard with an aluminium detachable hardtop that was fitted by folding the canvas roof down and manually attaching the hardtop. Designed in 1984, the R129 was based on the shortened floor pan of the Mercedes-Benz W124 and featured many innovative details for the time, including electronically controlled damping (Adaptive Damping System ADS) and a hidden, automatically-extending, roll-over bar for safety. The number of standard features was high, with electric operation of the windows, mirrors, seats and hydraulic convertible top, all of which paved the way towards the more innovative roof design we see today.With its 5-speed automatic gearbox coupled to a 231bhp, 3.2-litre engine, the SL320 offered a top speed of 150 mph. This superb example is finished in special order Designo Variocolour Green/Blue over Saffron leather, was ordered with a particularly high-spec and was supplied new to Jacksons-Mercedes-Benz in Guernsey in 1999. Being resident in Guernsey and spending time in a private collection explains why the car has only covered a genuine 13,776 miles. It was purchased from a private collection by the current owner, who is a Mercedes enthusiast and added to his own collection. The vehicle was used occasionally and has spent the last three years in dry storage in the UK. The owner still resides in Jersey. The SL has a comprehensive full service history, main dealer/ specialist and the original book packs and stamped service book are supplied with the car. The Mercedes remains superbly presented and finding another one with this low mileage and in this immaculate condition would not be easy. It's supplied with a NOVA Certificate showing that all UK Taxes have been paid.Detailed Factory Specification:241 FRONT SEAT LH ELECTRIC ADJUSTABLE WITH MEMORY242 FRONT SEAT RH ELECTRIC ADJUSTABLE WITH MEMORY284 SELECTOR LEVER, WOOD289 WOOD/LEATHER STEERING-WHEEL441 ADJUSTABLE STEERING COLUMN461 INSTRUMENT WITH MILES IND.
