A 'C16', right-hand drive, 993 RS with only 16,117 miles from newThe 1995 Carrera RS provides some of the most visceral thrills available in a road car3.8-litre flat-6, VarioRam intake and remapped ECU create 300bhp fed to the rear wheelsLarge fixed wing on the back with integrated ram intakes and a deep chin spoilerThe 993 RS was undoubtedly Stuttgart's most pure and refined form of the final generation, air-cooled 911A very special C16, UK supplied right-hand drive with only 16,117 miles from newFinished in black, this very special car has led a noble life having been part of the private collections of the Earl of Mexborough and Lord BamfordWhilst the 964 Carrera RS, that debuted several years earlier, is seen as uncompromisingly hardcore, the 1995 model year benefitted from all the work that had been done developing the new 993 platform. Nearly 80% of the parts were specifically engineered for this next generation and a new alloy subframe served as the base for the redesigned multi-link rear suspension. Generally, this improved stability along with ride quality and reduced the tendency for the car to oversteer off-throttle like the older cars. Along with the other improvements, too quantifiably large to list, Porsche had created the best 911 to date.It would only get better with the arrival of the new RS, much of the focus having been spent on reducing weight. Electric windows, adjustable mirrors, central locking, headlight washers, and audio speakers were all luxuries sacrificed in the name of speed. However, the extensive diet did not stop there. Porsche even went so far as to reduce the size of the windshield washer bottle and decrease the thickness of the glass. Well-bolstered leather bucket seats saved an additional 66lbs and sound insulation was removed throughout the car. Simple door cards with pull straps instead of door handles rounded off the extensive weight-saving measures. The car was powered by a 3746cc, DOHC Flat-6 with the VarioRam intake system and Motronic Engine Management combining to generate 300bhp at 6,500rpm fed to the rear-mounted, 6-speed manual transaxle. Four-wheel independent suspension, disc brakes all round and state of the art aerodynamics offered superb balance and the RS was capable of providing some of the most visceral thrills available in a road car.This, C16, UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 993RS has covered just 16,117 miles from new. Finished in black, this very special car has led an illustrious life, having been part of some significant private collections including the Earl of Mexborough and Lord Bamford. There are 9 stamps in the accompanying service book and the history file includes all the manuals/books, reams of invoices, past MOTs, spare keys and a detailed list of previous owners.This car has formed part of another significant collection for the past few years and in preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate. A safety check will also be carried out along with an inspection report included in the history file.The 993 RS was undoubtedly Stuttgart's most pure and refined form of the final generation, air-cooled 911 and, we imagine, will always be a Porsche 911 benchmark investment.

A rare, mid-1957, 3/3A transition car in lovely condition.Rare transition car with factory-fitted TR3 and 3A partsOriginally in left-hand drive and destined for North America finished in Pearl WhiteReturned to the UK in 1995 and was selected in 2003 as an ideal base for a full restorationStripped back to bare metal, converted to right-hand drive and restoredParticular attention was paid to panel gaps and shut linesFully painted in Signal Red and the interior retrimmed in red-piped blackFully detailed engine bay with a chromed rocker cover and polished dashpotsChrome wires, chrome headlight grilles, sill guards, wind-deflectors, wood rim wheelNow presents superbly with the quality of the restoration much in evidenceLong famed for their rugged reliability and idiosyncratic good looks, the 'side screen' TRs have attracted a fanatical following over the years. The final evolution of the Triumph TR2/TR3 sportscar line (save for the American market TR3B), the TR3A was introduced in September 1957. Great fun to drive, its tough box-section chassis featured independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc/drum brakes. (The first British production car to have front disc brakes as standard). Fitted with a 1991cc four-cylinder OHV unit developing around 104bhp and 117lbft of torque, it was reputedly capable of 110mph. A great sales success on both sides of the Atlantic, the model provided a rather more visceral alternative to its MG and Jaguar competition.Arriving in 1957, the TR3A was never officially badged as such and was, in fact, a minor revision of the TR3 with updates including a new wide grille, exterior door handles, lockable boot and a full tool kit. Offered here as part of The Anthony Hamilton Collection is a charming Triumph TR3A finished in Signal Red with black trim. The commission number confirms this car was produced in the late summer of 1957 and this was a 'change over' period for Standard-Triumph when many parts from the earlier TR3 were still in stock and were incorporated into the revised TR3A. This explains why this car is fitted with a TR3 front apron with the smaller grille, however, it does have the 3A's external door handles. It was originally in left-hand drive and was destined for the North American market finished in Pearl White. It returned to the UK, we believe, in 1995 and was selected in 2003 as it was a particularly sound, ex-California car, as an ideal base for a full restoration.It was stripped back to bare metal, converted to right-hand drive and restored paying particular attention to panel gaps and shut lines before being fully painted in Signal Red, the interior retrimmed in red-piped black and all the brightwork refinished. The engine bay was fully detailed and is an absolute delight with a chromed rocker cover and polished dashpots. Sitting on a set of new chrome wires and with its chrome headlight grilles, stainless sill guards, wind-deflectors, wood rim wheel and white hood and tonneau, the little Triumph presents superbly with the quality of the restoration much in evidence.The owner's file contains various invoices for service and maintenance keeping this striking TR in the best mechanical condition. No history of British Sports cars would be complete without the venerable TR3 and a rare transition car (3/3A) in this super condition will always be eminently collectable.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.

A well-restored Mini Traveller with Royal provenance.850cc, Mk1 'Woodie' that has been carefully restoredIts first owner was Louis Mountbatten, 1 Earl Mountbatten of BurmaDe Luxe model. Heater, over-riders, chrome sill edging, filler cap and wheel trimsFinished in Tartan Red with a smartly trimmed red interiorInteresting history file with resto documents and photographs and Royal correspondenceThe popularity of the Mini spawned a variety of models targeting different markets, but all are based on Sir Alec Issigonis iconic design. The Morris Mini Traveller and Austin Countryman were two-door estate cars with double, barn-style rear doors built on a slightly longer chassis of 84 inches compared to 80.25 for the saloon. From the start of production, both models had a decorative, non-structural, Ash wood trim on the rear body, in the style of a pre-war shooting-brake giving the car a similar appearance to the larger Morris Minor Traveller and inevitably led to them becoming known as 'Woodies'. It's a popular misconception that the difference between the Traveller and the Countryman is the wood trim as all-steel versions of both the Morris Traveller and the Austin Countryman without the wood trim were launched for export markets in April 1961.Offered here from The Anthony Hamilton Collection, himself a real Mini enthusiast, is a very special Mini Traveller. The original buff logbook, which remains with the car, shows the first owner as Lord Louis Mountbatten, 1 Earl Mountbatten of Burma. The comprehensive history file contains an amusing letter (11th April 1991) from St. James Palace and the Prince of Wales' private secretary replying to the car's owner at the time, thanking them for the opportunity, but advising that the Prince would not be interested in acquiring his uncles old Mini Traveller. We understand that the little Traveller was restored in the Nineties and the history file contains numerous receipts and a photographic record of this restoration.Finished in Tartan Red with a smartly trimmed red interior, the restoration still holds up very well today and the Mini remains 'Collector's Quality'. In 1965, Travellers were only available in 'De-Luxe' trim level, which included a heater, over-riders, chrome sill edging, filler cap and wheel trims, all of which feature here.These little estates remain as practical as they are cute and this delightful example, fresh from an important collection and with Royal provenance, will be deservedly popular.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.

An evocative piece of Triumph TR history that has been saved for posterity.A right-hand drive, press launch TR8 Convertible with 124 miles from new.A rare survivor of the mass disposal of Triumph TR assets in 1981/1982Purchased through a British Leyland dealer by a 'friend of a friend' and spirited awayFinished in striking Pharaoh Gold with a tan leather and plaid interiorEffectively delivery mileage and carefully stored sinceThe TR6 that was replaced in 1975 by the four-cylinder TR7 was, without doubt, a flawed and old-fashioned design, however, it did maintain a heritage of open-topped TRs that originated in the early 1950s. Its demise came at a time when cutting costs and component sharing were the driving force behind Leyland product planning, leading enthusiasts to fear for the future of their once-proud brand.Yet, waiting in the wings but delayed by constant strikes, lockouts, bickering, and bloody-mindedness was a V8 version of the TR7 that would make its appearance more than three years after the four-cylinder. A batch of 150 cars carrying the 'TR7 V8' designation had been built during 1977 but one of Leyland's now-legendary strikes ended the attempt to bring the model to market for 1978. Two years on and after shifting production to the Rover plant at Solihull, North American buyers were finally granted their first glimpse of a Triumph sports car that offered some serious performance attributes. Its tenure, sadly, was destined to be short-lived.The TR8 that appeared on the North American market in July 1979 used the all-alloy 3.5-litre V8 engine that had been powering Rovers since 1966. Most of the initial build cars came with dual Zenith Stromberg carburettors - only those sold into emission-conscious California using fuel injection from the outset. Early TR8s were only available in Coupe form - the much-admired convertible not reaching the market until October of their introductory year.Features of the production TR8s included standard power steering and a five-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission. The wedge-effect styling wasn't to everyone's taste and the trim in very '70s tartan-insert cloth dated even faster than the sheet metal, however, interior space and overall practicality were high on the list of positive attributes.All but around 300 of the TR8s made were convertibles reflecting the preference of US buyers for open-top sports cars - especially since their domestic manufacturers had virtually forsaken the soft-top - but also to maximise the viability of the open-top TR7.Offered here is a fabulous part of the Triumph TR story in the shape of an unregistered TR8 with just 124 miles from new. British Leyland had finally decided to introduce the TR8 to the UK and European markets in November 1981 and had assembled just fourteen right-hand drive cars at the Lode Lane Solihull plant some weeks before. These cars went to the press shop at the Triumph works in Canley Coventry for final preparation, detailing etc. prior to the press launch. However, chaos continued to rule at BL and the management picked this moment to cancel the whole TR range and plans to build the TR8 in any volume were scrapped. The order was subsequently given by senior British Leyland management to clear all vehicle stocks which included the fourteen un-registered and unsold TR8s languishing at Canley.Happily, this particular car was spared from the impending disposal and was purchased by its first owner 'out of the back door' having been tipped off by a BL director friend and the sale was channelled through a British Leyland dealer. The history file contains the original V55/4.The car is finished in striking Pharaoh Gold with a Tan and plaid interior and remains in a condition commensurate with its 124 miles. This special performance TR convertible is a very evocative piece of Triumph history that has been saved for posterity.

**Sale Room Notice** Waiting return of V5C from DVLA due to Cherished number retention, expected imminently. Copy of original V5C present in history file for reference.UK-supplied, right-hand drive, Concours-winning GTS with less than 20,000 miles.Only one previous owner with current since January 1978Very low mileage from new with only 19,696 milesFinished in Argento Metallizzato with light blue leather and dark blue carpetsFerrari Owners Club multiple Concours winning with supporting evidence & scoringServiced, new cambelts and MOT completed September 2019 (£4,000)Fastidious restoration, fully documented with photographs and invoices etcLarge and comprehensive history file including original Ferrari Warranty CardContinues to maintain its Concours-winning quality by adopting a 'no expense spared' guardianshipThe new Dino 246GT was an absolute delight from all angles, its beauty, handling, engine note, mid-engined layout, unusually good all-round visibility and comparative affordability made it absolutely irresistible. The voluptuous bodywork, which many people regard as the prettiest ever to grace a road-going Ferrari, was designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti and covered a tubular chassis which carried wishbone independent suspension at each corner. The 190bhp engine, with four overhead camshafts, was mounted transversely behind the driver and in front of the rear axle. Power to the wheels was transmitted via drop gears to the transverse 5-speed gearbox, in unit with the differential and engine sump. With rack and pinion steering and a mid-engined configuration, it was a revelation in terms of road holding and stability, nothing had been made like this before and it left its larger V12-engined siblings in its wake.This was a very modern car and a real step in Ferrari history announcing a new age for Ferrari in concept and design. Sparkling acceleration and a top speed of 145mph combined with a comfortable interior and some usable boot space meant that it was a genuine 'Grand Touring' car.There was an addition to the range in 1972 when the Spider version was introduced. With the exception of the detachable roof there was little difference between the two models, but the 246GTS, as it was designated, has become all the more desirable as a collector's car, particularly as only 1,274 were produced in its three years of production.This magnificent Concours-winning 246GT Spider was first registered on the 18th of May 1973 and remains a two-owners from new example with the current owner having enjoyed it for the last 42 years. A passionate Formula One fan and sports car enthusiast, it was his dream to own a Ferrari and that dream came true in January 1978 when he was able to buy a shiny Dino (at that point in Dino Blue) that was less than five years old from a fellow businessman in Yorkshire.The Ferrari was his pride and joy and was used lightly over the years. He dedicated much time and care to maintaining it to an exceptional standard, however, it is a Ferrari and after 20 years, and having decided to keep the car forever, the time had come for more serious attention.A professional two-year restoration was commenced in 1998 using the services of a number of the areas most knowledgeable experts and marque specialists. The bodywork was completely stripped back to bare metal, corroded panels replaced and joints/seams professionally lead-loaded throughout. The chassis was bead blasted and refinished in satin black along with the suspension components. The car was painted in Argento Metallizzato with such care that the quality of finish subsequently impressed even the most hard-nosed of Concours Judges. It was then carefully reassembled (it was a 2-year restoration) and benefitted from a new windscreen, driver's and passenger door glass, new suspension bushes, window, door and roof seals. Whilst the engine was out, it was rebuilt with new pistons, valves and seats, cylinder heads skimmed, new clutch assembly and all associated gaskets and fixings. It was then popped back into the refurbished engine bay and the process of recommissioning and getting the Ferrari running, stopping and handling correctly began. All of this work with the associated invoices can be inspected in the A4 ring-binder history file that's with the car.Now that the Dino was restored to an immaculate condition, our vendor and his wife decided to try their hand at Ferrari Owners Club Concours and they were rewarded with a First in Class in July 2003. It wasn't entered to Concours in 2004 but was entered again in 2005 and awarded a worthy Third. With the car are the score sheets and supporting correspondence from the Ferrari Owners Club verifying such prestigious achievements.Our vendor continued to enjoy his car and trusted the expertise of the staff at Strasse (Porsche) for ongoing maintenance and care which they carried out to the highest of standards. However, over more recent years, the Ferrari has been in dry storage and hardly used and, in order to prepare it for sale, it has been subject to a thorough recommission, including a full service, cambelt replacement and a fresh MOT. The current indicated mileage is 19,696 from new supported by the detailed history file.This remarkable little car has been part of a caring family for 42 years and it shows. It's simply delightful, in sparkling condition, and now ready for a new custodian and further adventures, be those Ferrari Club Concours or simply stowing the lid and setting off for the Cotswolds on a sunny afternoon. Either way, you will have to be careful, as this may well turn out to be the one car that you want to keep forever.

This right-hand-drive example has only 12,427 miles from new (20,512 km)2.3-litre, 16-valve engine producing 185 bhp. 0-62 mph in less than eight seconds, and a top speed of 143 mphGetrag 5-speed manual gearbox was unique to the 16-valve and featured a racing gear pattern with a dog-leg first gearThe 190E 2.3-16 was only available in two colours, Blue-Black metallic or Smoke SilverThis right-hand-drive example has only 12,745 miles from new (20,512 km) and is finished in Smoke SilverThe Mercedes-Benz W201 was a compact executive saloon car manufactured by Mercedes-Benz from 1982 to 1993. Supposedly, Mercedes spent over £600 million researching and developing the 190 and subsequently it was deemed 'over-engineered' in an era when Mercedes engineering was widely revered. In the late 1970s, Mercedes had some good results competing in rallying with V8-powered R107 Series Coupés and naturally, they were keen to build on this success by taking the 190E on a similar path. Not having the expertise in-house at the time, Mercedes approached British engineering company Cosworth, to develop a competitive engine for the rally car. Unfortunately, this project took off just as the Audi Quattro, with its all-wheel drive and turbocharger was launched, making the 2.3-16v appear somewhat outclassed. With a continued desire for the 190 to succeed in high profile motorsport, and also now a state of the art engine with which to do it, Mercedes turned to the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM) (German Touring Car Championship) motorsport series instead. However, cars racing in this championship had to be based on a road-going model, a minimum number of which had been sold to the public, so Mercedes, therefore, had to put into series production a 190 fitted with a detuned version of the Cosworth engine.This high-performance model was known as the 190E 2.3-16 and debuted at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September 1983. In road-going trim, the 2.3-litre 16-valve engine produced 185 bhp with acceleration from 0-62 mph in less than eight seconds and a top speed of 143 mph. The engine is considered to be remarkably flexible with a very flat torque curve and a wide powerband. There were other notable changes over the standard 190. The body-kit on the 2.3-16 reduced the drag coefficient to 0.32, one of the lowest CD values on a four-door saloon at the time, whilst also reducing lift at speed. The steering ratio was quicker and the steering wheel smaller than that on other 190s, whilst the fuel tank was enlarged from 55 to 70 litres. The Getrag 5-speed manual gearbox was unique to the 16-valve and featured a 'racing' gear pattern with a 'dog-leg' first gear. An oil cooler was fitted to ensure sufficient oil cooling for the inevitable track use for which many of these cars were destined. The strictly four-seater interior had Recaro sports seats with strong side bolsters for front and rear passengers. Three extra dials, an oil temperature gauge, stopwatch and voltmeter were included in the centre console. The 190E 2.3-16 was only available in two colours, Blue-Black metallic or Smoke Silver. The suspension on 16-valve models is very different from the standard 190, as well as being lower and stiffer - it has quicker dampers, larger anti-roll bars, harder bushes, a limited-slip differential and hydraulic self-levelling suspension (SLS) on the rear. This allows the rear ride height to remain constant even when the car is fully loaded.The first owner of this spectacular 190E 2.3 placed an order through Mercedes-Benz (United Kingdom) Ltd. in July 1985 and specified this example in Smoke Silver with options including, outside temp, additional mirror, height-adjustable seats, tinted glass and fire extinguisher. Documents within the detailed history file indicate the car had been registered in the UK before being exported to New-Zealand. Within the original book-pack is the service booklet showing a pre-delivery inspection at the Mercedes-Benz, Piccadilly garage in January 1986. The car was then exported with all supporting documentation and first registered in New Zealand in May 1988.Accompanying the car is the aforementioned history file containing the original purchase order, original book-pack with service book stamped up-to-date, registration documents, export/import documents, invoices for servicing and maintenance over the years in New-Zealand, a recent invoice from Mercedes-Benz for a service dated February 2020 and a current MOT valid until February 2021.In summary, this fine example must be quite simply the 'Holy Grail' to any classic car collector or enthusiast. Offered in remarkable condition and accompanied by a detailed history folder showing just 12,427 miles or 20,512km, rarely do examples as good as this come to market.

Designed to showcase the new smooth and torquey 5.3-litre engine, originally developed for Le Mans, the Series 3 cars were available as a 'Roadster' (convertible) or a '2+2' Coupé. These later cars are easily distinguished from their six-cylinder predecessors by the large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel arches, wider tyres, a pronounced bonnet bulge, updated bumpers, four exhaust tips and a badge on the rear that proclaims it to be a V12. It also featured uprated brakes, power steering as standard and a large horizontal scoop added to the underside of the bonnet to assist with cooling. The interior was entirely new in the V12, with more comfortable seating, stylish new door panels and a smaller, dished and leather-rimmed steering wheel. Being slightly larger and altogether much softer in nature, the E-Type in Series 3 form had lost the wildness of its youth but gained the long-legged touring profile, to which it was arguably better suited. Approximately 7,990 Series 3 Roadsters were sold worldwide before production ceased in 1975.We are pleased to offer this original right-hand drive, manual gearbox, UK-supplied 1973 E-Type Series 3 Roadster which, according to its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, was built on 23/02/1973 finished in Signal Red with a black leather interior, a black hood and chrome wire wheels. It was dispatched to Clark & Lambert in Eastbourne and initially registered as 'JNJ 701L', the registration number it still carries today. From the car's extensive history file we can see that it was exported to Switzerland in 1984 returning to the UK in 1997. It's been with its current custodian for seven years, however, prior to this was subject to a full restoration and engine rebuild in the late nineties to a superb level with patent attention to detail as is evident by the 'factory gap' panel fit and the well-presented underside and engine bay. In more recent years it's been maintained by marque specialists P & K Thornton and David Marks and invoices include one for a gearbox rebuild at 7,800 miles. The odometer was 'zeroed' at the point of restoration and the current indicated mileage is 8,201.
