1918 Austin Twenty EXP1 Prototype Tourer- The very car that Edgar Wren drove nationwide to drum up orders for Austin's upcoming 20hp model- Rescued from a hedgerow as a rolling chassis and treated to an extensive restoration during the 2000s- Featured in numerous publications: The Autocar (1918), The Austin Advocate (1919) and The Automobile (2009)Herbert Austin was nothing if not ambitious. By the outbreak of the First World War the company that bore his name was Britain's fifth largest motorcar manufacturer. However, the firm with which he had begun his motoring endeavours, Wolseley, was the biggest. Accepting government contracts for aircraft, shells, heavy artillery and 3-ton lorries saw the Austin Motor Company prosper during WW1 and its workforce expand from 2,500 to 22,000. Sensing an opportunity to leapfrog his rivals and taking a leaf from Henry Ford's book, Herbert Austin decided to offer just a single model when peace returned. Hugely impressed by the Hudson Super Six he ran during the hostilities - an example of which had successfully completed the first two-way transcontinental trip from New York to San Francisco and back in 1916 - he challenged his designers to create a similarly well-engineered machine. The first prototype Austin Twenty began to take shape in the chassis erecting shop at Longbridge during 1917 and an abridged specification was published in that September's issue of The Austin Advocate magazine. Like the Hudson Super Six, the newcomer featured a substantial ladder frame chassis equipped with all-round semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension, rear wheel brakes, an engine of monobloc construction with in-unit, centre-change gearbox and a sheet metal radiator cowl. Displacing 3610cc, its unstressed sidevalve four-cylinder engine developed 40bhp @ 2,000rpm (an output sufficient for Austin to later warrant that the chassis could reach 70mph). Eminently tuneable, privateer Felix Scriven's `Sergeant Murphy' and the Works' `Black Maria' both proved that an Austin Twenty could beat a Bentley 3 Litre or Vauxhall 30/98 in competition (Scriven's mount reaching 104mph at Brooklands).Labelled P1's (with `P' signifying Post War), two prototype Austin Twenties were readied for 1918, a Landaulette and a Tourer. Road registered as `OB 6912', the latter sported a commodious four-door, five-seater body with a prominent hood well and internal storage for two spare wheels. With dreams of producing 25,000 cars a year (a gargantuan increase on the 3,000 that Wolseley had managed in 1914), Herbert Austin despatched Works test driver Edgar Wren on a nationwide trip aboard `OB 6912' to drum-up interest. With a projected price of just £495 for the Tourer, and thanks also to the efforts of sales organiser Alfred Dupuis who travelled the Commonwealth and was reliant merely on photos and specification sheets, Austin had attracted some £6,000,000 worth of orders by July 1919. Unfortunately, the company could not fulfil them. The government tax on excess war profits meant that Herbert Austin could not afford to fully equip his expanded factories and the awful carnage of World War One had resulted in a severe shortage of skilled labour. Without the hoped-for economies of scale, Austin found itself losing money on every Twenty sold and thus had to introduce a `temporary surcharge' of £100 per car in October 1919. Things went from bad to worse with the global economic slump of 1920-1921 and by December that year Austin was in receivership. The company famously bounced back with the Twelve and Seven models and the Twenty remained in production until December 1929 by which time some 15,287 had been made. Famously long-lived, it was not unheard of for a Twenty to cover in excess of 1,000,000 miles. Indeed, the motoring historian and long-term Twenty owner Mike Worthington-Williams has suggested that the model is `the hardest wearing machine of all time'. Presumed lost for many years, `OB 6912' was re-registered with the DVLA on August 2nd 1983. A rolling chassis when found, it was treated to an extensive `ground up' restoration during the 2000s with replacement parts being sourced or made as necessary. Using period photos as a guide the car's Tourer coachwork was painstakingly recreated and fitted with such niceties as an Auster screen, fold-out occasional seats and deep-button Black leather upholstery. There can be comparatively few cars that have been featured in magazine articles ninety-one years apart but as well as gracing the pages of The Autocar in November 1918 and The Austin Advocate in July 1919, `OB 6912' was the subject of a four-page article in The Automobile for August 2009. Described by the vendor as being in `excellent overall' condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork, he succinctly sums-up `OB 6912' as `a true piece of British motoring history'.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

Lot 101
1936 Bentley 4.25 Litre Vanvooren Pillarless Sports Saloon- Supplied new to Jean Paul Boucheron of the jewellery dynasty and retained by his family until 2001 when it entered the current ownership- Very rare and elegant Vanvooren pillarless sports saloon coachwork- Built to RHD specification but for use 'in France and on the Continent' hence high ratio back axle, ski rack, 'Projecteur' centre spotlight, lightweight seats and Marchal headlights etc- Partial refurbishment during the current ownership (cylinder head overhauled, doors re-hung, bodywork repainted, upholstery re-trimmed etc)Unveiled to great acclaim at the August 1933 Ascot Races, the Derby Bentley was underpinned by a 'double dropped' chassis featuring all-round semi-elliptic suspension and four-wheel drum brakes. Powered by a more potent version of its Rolls-Royce 20/25 sibling's 3669cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission, the newcomer was soon christened the 'Silent Sportscar'. Responding to increased competition from the likes of Alvis and Lagonda, Bentley gave its customers the option of a larger 4257cc engine during the 1936 season. Priced at £50, a comparatively modest sum compared to the cost of a basic chassis, the new unit proved so popular that the smaller capacity powerplant was soon dropped. Nicely balanced to begin with, the Derby Bentley chassis proved more than capable of handling the extra power and torque. Of the 1,241 4.25-litre variants produced, just 46 were clothed by the Parisian coachbuilder Vanvooren. Highly influential during the 1930s (its patents were employed by over forty European rivals), Vanvooren looked set to become Bentley's preferred body supplier for the soon to be introduced 'Corniche' version of the MKV model until WW2 intervened.According to its accompanying copy build card records, this particular example - chassis B244GA - was intended for use in 'France and the Continent'. Ordered by Franco Britannic Automobiles Ltd on behalf of Monsieur Jean Paul Boucheron of 81 Avenue Malakoff, Paris, it was loaded aboard the SS Silver Thorn bound for Boulogne on 15th May 1936. Part of the Boucheron jewellery dynasty which had crafted pieces for countless heads of state the world over (the Greville Tiara remains a favourite of the British Royal Family), Jean Paul possessed an understandable eye for detail. As well as having Vanvooren fashion notably handsome pillarless four-door sports coachwork for the Bentley, he specified a fuel gauge in litres, speedometer in kilometres, taller 11x43 rear axle ratio for improved high-speed cruising (which FBA Ltd took from chassis B154GA), special damper settings (120lb front / 100lb rear initial load at minimum position), twin side wheel carriers and jewel-like Marchal lights. Given the Paris registration number '740 X 75', the 4.25 litre saw enthusiastic use in Monsieur Boucheron's hands. Treated to a rear axle overhaul during September / October 1938 including new gears and half-shafts, the Pillarless Sports Saloon also gained dual Lucas Mellotone horns in January 1940 (just months before the invasion of France). The horns were augmented by a centre-mounted spotlight complete with 'Projecteur' switch on the leather covered dashboard, while other unusual features included a rear-mounted ski rack and lightweight front seats. Relocating to England, the Bentley passed to one of Monsieur Boucheron's relations, Dr Louis Hamilton, and remained in his care until 2001. Entering the current ownership when Tennants auctioned off the entire contents of Dr Hamilton's magnificent home 'Southerly', the 4.25 Litre had lain dormant for decades. Found to be surprisingly sound and got going with a jury-rigged fuel supply and fresh battery etc, the pillarless sports saloon was nonetheless treated to a partial refurbishment. As well as a 'wings off / doors off' respray, re-upholstered seats and new headlining / carpets, the Bentley benefited from a cylinder head overhaul and fresh exhaust system etc. Pleasingly retaining its original factory-fitted engine (number P9BS) and distinctive Vanvooren coachwork, the four-seater has only recently been granted the UK registration number 'YWG 928'. Never fully restored, it has been sparingly used over the past sixteen years and is still running on an oil-filled coil! Only being offered for sale due to the vendor's poor health, the 'Boucheron Bentley' is now seeking a third family to own it and perhaps make it the jewel in the crown of their collection.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1986 Ford Escort RS Turbo- The subject of much restoration / recommissioning during 2016- Original grey cloth upholstery, subtly modified / upgraded 1.6 litre turbocharged engine- MOT'd till April 2018Developed by Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering Department, the Escort RS Turbo broke cover in October 1984. Far more than a souped-up XR3i, the newcomer featured heavy-duty suspension, improved brakes and a viscous-coupling limited slip differential (the latter a road car first). A production run of 5,000 was planned to homologate the model for Group A competition but demand was such that 8,604 were made (with 5,576 being UK supplied). Only available in Diamond White - except for Lady Diana Spencer's unique Black example - the three-door sported a comprehensive body kit and was powered by a turbocharged 1597cc CVH four-cylinder engine allied to five-speed manual transmission. With some 132bhp and 133lbft of torque on tap, the Fast Ford was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.8 seconds and 128mph. Described by Motor Sport magazine as "perhaps the most enjoyable hot hatch currently available on the British market", the Escort RS Turbo attracted a cult following that has gone from strength to strength over the last thirty-three years.Finished in Diamond White with Grey cloth upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in 'average / good' (interior trim), 'very good' (paintwork, electrical equipment) or 'excellent' (engine, gearbox, bodywork) condition. Reportedly the subject of an extensive restoration that was completed last year, C500 FKH' is further understood to have been featured in a recent Microsoft computer game. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and MOT certificate valid until April 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT
Lot 119
1969 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow MPW Two-Door Saloon- 1 of just 606 made - Professionally re-modelled to 'Bentley' specification by Royce Engineering some thirty years ago- Less than 76,000 miles from new and MOT'd till next AugustThe Shadow's arrival in 1965 was none too soon and did much to reverse the notion that Rolls-Royce was falling behind the times. It resulted in many firsts for the company, including: unitary construction rather than separate body/chassis units, disc rather than drum brakes and independent rear suspension. Though shorter and narrower than the Silver Cloud III it replaced, the John Polwhele Blatchley-penned Shadow nevertheless possessed greater space for both luggage and passengers and certainly boasted far more contemporary looks. At launch it was powered by a 172bhp V8 engine of 6230cc, though this was enlarged to 6750cc during 1970. Early cars employed the same GM automatic transmission as the Silver Cloud, but this was superseded by the much vaunted Turbo Hydramatic system from 1970 onwards. The car's famed 'magic carpet' ride was achieved courtesy of a high-pressure hydraulic system licensed from Citroen. Initially it featured self-levelling at both ends, but this was deleted from the front in 1969. A two-door Saloon variant with coachwork by Mulliner Park Ward was made available from 1966, just 606 examples of which were produced before the model morphed into the Corniche in 1971.On behalf of a valued client, this decidedly handsome Mulliner Park Ward two-door Saloon was converted from a Rolls-Royce into a Bentley 30 years ago, by marque specialist Royce Engineering. It is presented in its original livery of Regal Red coachwork, Beige hide upholstery and Red carpets. The vendor presently classes the V8 engine and automatic transmission as 'excellent' and the bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as 'very good'. The indicated mileage of 75,800 is apparently confirmed by the old MOTs that accompany the car, along with the driver's instruction manual, original tools, and even the emergency window winder handle; plus a current MOT certificate valid until August 18th 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

Lot 121
1996 Porsche 911 Turbo- 1 of 277 UK-supplied, C16 specification cars- Meticulously maintained and just 76,500 recorded miles- Body, bumpers and brakes upgraded to 'S' specification A quantifiable advance over its 964 predecessor in terms of handling, ride quality and drivetrain refinement, the 993 benefited from a 20% stiffer monocoque bodyshell and the adoption of multi-link rear suspension. The work of Englishman Tony Hatter, its restyled bodywork remained faithful to the classic 911 silhouette but incorporated a more muscular stance with flared wheelarches, flatter-set headlights and advanced underbody aerodynamics. Introduced in 1995, the 993 Turbo was notable as the first forced induction 911 to feature four-wheel drive. Equipped with twin turbochargers, dual air-to-air intercoolers, electronic engine management, redesigned cylinder heads and strengthened internals, the newcomer's 3.6 litre flat-six engine developed a quoted 402bhp and 398lbft of torque. Period road testers had little difficulty in bettering Porsche's official performance figures (0-62mph in 4.5 seconds, 180mph top speed) and hailed the 993 Turbo as the fastest road legal machine to leave Zuffenhausen since the legendary 959 supercar. Visually distinguished from its lesser siblings by redesigned front / rear bumpers, widened rear wheelarches and a fixed rear wing housing the intercoolers, the model rode on special hollow spoke 18-inch alloys. Kept in check by four-wheel ventilated ABS disc brakes, the 2+2-seater offered a blend of speed, practicality and usability than no rival could match. Of the 6,676 993 Turbos made, just 277 are understood to have been UK-supplied, 'C16' specification cars.Finished in Zenith Blue Metallic with Classic Grey leather interior, this particular C16 example boasts a number of factory options including: a sunroof, top tinted windscreen, lumbar support (right seat), automatic speed control, pleated upholstery, coloured Porsche crest wheel caps, stainless steel door entry guards and rear wing side vents etc. Said to have been 'meticulously maintained throughout its life', the Porsche has also had its body, bumpers and brakes upgraded to 'Turbo S' specification. Showing a modest 76,500 miles to its odometer, the Coupe has covered less than 2,000 miles since being treated to new turbochargers. Forming part of a private collection for the past four years, this highly desirable 993 Turbo is offered for sale with book pack (including stamped service book) and MOT certificate valid until May 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

2001 Rover Mini Classic Cooper Sport- Dealer registered and a showroom exhibit until recently- Warranted 1,250 miles from new- Sunroof, original book pack, extremely original and well preservedIntroduced in October 1996, the so-called MK7 or MPi Mini was the last evolution of Alec Issigonis' iconic design. Boasting a front-mounted radiator, driver's airbag, taller final drive ratio, multipoint fuel injection and side impact door bars etc, it proved a fitting swansong for one of the world's favourite cars. Only in production from March to October 2000, the Mini Classic Cooper Sport could be distinguished from earlier 'Sport Pack' equipped Coopers by its Platinum (rather than OEW) roof and bonnet stripes. The model's widened wheelarches housed 13x6 alloy wheels, while inside it featured an alloy dashboard as well as alloy window winders, door pulls and door handles. A be-winged green Mini motif appeared on the steering wheel and alloy wheel centres but the choice of exterior colours was limited to Solar Red, British Racing Green, Anthracite or Tahiti Blue. Regardless of their exterior hue, all Mini Classic Cooper Sports carried Nickel Silver leather seats with Black facings.Finished in Anthracite with Nickel Silver / Black leather upholstery, this particular example has covered just 1,250 or so miles from new. First registered in Southern Ireland on 24th April 2001 with the appropriate number plate '01-W-1959', it has spent much of the past sixteen years being used as a showroom exhibit and promotional vehicle. Sporting quad auxiliary spot / foglamps and a sunroof, the diminutive Rover is in a condition commensurate with its decidedly modest mileage. A one registered keeper vehicle thus far, it is offered for sale with its original book pack.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1932 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Special- Restored Hispano Suiza-style special featured in the 1983 film 'Sahara'- Rolls Royce 20/25 chassis and running gear- 4-litre Rolls Royce FB 60 engine with automatic gearboxThis Hispano Suiza-style special was created for and featured alongside Sir John Mills and Brooke Shields in the 1983 film Sahara. Based on a Rolls Royce 20/25 chassis and running gear, it is powered by a 4-litre Rolls Royce FB 60 engine with automatic gearbox. Following the film it was kept in long term dry storage in a private collection until it was purchased by the vendor who commenced an extensive two year restoration which included: body stripped, chassis and axles cleaned, prepared and refinished; aluminium body prepared and refinished in original colour; internal upholstery, door card, internal trim and carpets renewed; rear brakes renewed with machined and resurfaced brake drums, servo assisted braking system; new wheel bearings to rear axle; bespoke stainless steel exhaust with large bore sport silencer; new radiator with integral automatic box cooling capability; new aluminium petrol tank with original H. S. Sports filler; Brooklands style windscreens and side step. A real head turner on the road, we understand only a small amount of work to the instrumentation remains to be done. Offered with Swansea V5 and the original film luggage carrier.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 B 'Adenauer' Saloon- Offered for spares or repair, LHD, Red leather upholstery - Engine and gearbox removed in the past (though, parts of the former appear to remain) - Imported from the USA some years ago, comes with an old US title and proof of UK VAT paid. Synonymous with (and nicknamed after) Konrad Adenauer - the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany - who ran no less than six during his tenure, the Mercedes-Benz Type 300 (or W186) was launched at the 1951 Frankfurt Motor Show. Able to accommodate up to six people, the Type 300 was available in Saloon or Cabriolet guises. A credible rival to the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud / Bentley S1 pairing, the vast majority of the 6,214 Type 300 Saloons made were to left-hand drive specification. Finished in Black with Red leather upholstery, this left-hand drive example is offered for spares or repair having had its engine and gearbox removed at some stage in the past. The gearbox is missing but various parts of the engine remain including, what we guess to be, the cylinder block, cylinder head, cam cover, sump and assorted internals (such as pistons and conrods etc). The bellhousing, steering wheel, twin Solex carburettors (plus associated manifolding) and sundry items of door furniture etc are present too. Described by the vendor as having 'good' bodywork but 'poor' interior trim and paintwork, this incomplete Mercedes-Benz is being sold strictly as viewed and without documentation. PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been informed that this lot comes with an old US title and proof of UK VAT being paid from when it was imported several years ago.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

Lot 22
1953 Ford Zephyr 6- Entered from a private Irish collection- Rare, surviving first generation Zephyr 6- Tubular exhaust manifold, aftermarket rear blind and bench seats re-trimmed in leatherIntroduced in early 1951, Ford's Consul (four-cylinder) and Zephyr (six-cylinder) models were notable for their use of a monocoque bodyshell, MacPherson Strut independent front suspension and hydraulic drum brakes. Able to seat up to six thanks to the provision of a front bench seat and column gearchange, the Ford duo were powered by a new generation of 'oversquare' engines. Notably rugged and surprisingly quick, the 2262cc OHV-engined Zephyr Six proved a highly effective rally car with Maurice Gatsonides winning the 1953 Monte Carlo Rally aboard one (beating a Jaguar MKVII into second place) and Vic Preston piloting another to victory on the 1955 East African Safari Rally. Updated in September 1952, the Zephyr gained a revised dashboard with a separate instrument pod that mimicked the shape of its grille. For those Zephyr owners who wanted more performance Raymond Mays offered a range of tuning goodies from twin carburettors to freer-flowing exhausts. Suitably enhanced, the six-seater Ford could give contemporary sportscars a run for their money with a 95mph top speed!Finished in Blue with Light Grey leather upholstery, this particular example has formed part of a private Irish collection since 2006. The Ford's front and rear bench seats have been re-trimmed at some stage (leather was an optional extra in period) but its door cards look to be original. Under the bonnet the Zephyr's six-cylinder engine sports a tubular exhaust manifold but otherwise things appear pretty standard. The saloon's rear window carries an aftermarket sun blind. Wonderfully evocative of the 1950s and a comparatively rare survivor today, this appealing Ford looks to be in good overall condition and started readily during our photography session (October 2017).PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

c.1968 Hillman Imp Californian- Warranted 82 miles from new! - Original paint, upholstery and engine etc - An unrepeatable opportunity for Imp enthusiasts everywhere Launched in 1963, the Imp was the Rootes Group's counter to the already ubiquitous Mini. It was manufactured in the tiny town of Lindwood, Scotland and designed by Michael Parks and Tim Fry. The result was decidedly innovative and reportedly the first mass-produced car equipped with an all-alloy engine and the first volume-made British one to have its powerplant mounted in the rear. The upmarket Super Imp variant arrived in September 1965, co-incident with the MKII version of the standard car. It brought additional brightwork; over-riders; dummy front grille; wheel trims; full carpet; added sound-proofing; and a generally upgraded interior, including door-operated courtesy lights and integral ashtrays. Launched in late 1966 with the slogan 'Hallo Beautiful - meet the Imp with the fast-back look', the Californian also sported a raked windscreen, lowered roof line, dropped steering column and curved side windows for increased shoulder room etc. The work of in-house stylist Ron Wisdom, its svelte lines hid a revised front suspension set-up (less positive camber and reduced ride height) that resulted in more predictable / exploitable handling. Some £71 more expensive than its Saloon sibling, the handsome Coupe accounted for circa 6,100 domestic sales before production ceased in 1970. Thought to be unique, this particular example - chassis B401006507HCO - has covered just 82 miles from new! A former demonstration model, the Hillman has yet to be road registered (a process which The Imp Club could doubtless facilitate if a valid MOT certificate were obtained for the car). Finished in Forest Green with Green vinyl upholstery, the diminutive four-seater Coupe unsurprisingly still retains its original engine. Starting readily during our photography session (October 2017) and benefiting from a recent brake overhaul, this timewarp Californian is quite simply amazing and represents an unrepeatable opportunity for Imp enthusiasts everywhere! PLEASE NOTE: Since the catalogue went to press we have been contacted by a member of the Hillman Imp Club who believes that this Californian was previously sold via a BCA auction on July 31st 2004 at which time its odometer showed just 40 miles. The associated catalogue description stated that the four-seater had not only been 'purchased new in 1968 by a somewhat eccentric aircraft engineer' but also 'remained in storage for the majority of its life'. BCA quoted a registration number of 'MDP 248F' but noted that the Hillman was not registered with the DVLA and lacked any registration documents. The vendor was told by his late father who acquired the Imp for their family collection that it was a former demonstration model that had never been registered. However, he is prepared to accept that it might be the ex-BCA car if only because the odds of two such ultra-low mileage, Forest Green Californians still existing must be slim indeed! The seller is happy to warrant the present odometer of 82 miles as representing the total covered from new and considers that the car's condition and originality speak for themselves.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1978 Triumph Stag- Part of the renowned Patrick Collection from new until December 2004 when it entered the current ownership- Notably late example that has covered just 10,800 miles from new- Original Passport to Service, handbook, Supercover documentation, 4-speed maual plus overdriveIntroduced in June 1970, the Triumph Stag was conceived as a luxury convertible sportscar to rival the likes of the R107-series Mercedes-Benz SL. As such, it came equipped with electric windows, power-assisted rack and pinion steering and servo-backed disc / drum brakes as standard. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell (stylist Giovanni Michelotti had physically shortened a pre-production Triumph 2000 saloon in order to fashion the initial prototype), the newcomer featured all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / semi-trailing arm rear) and a well laid-out 2+2 cabin. Neatly integrated, the substantial roll-over hoop that joined the B-pillars gained extra strength from a T-bar link to the windscreen frame. With some 145bhp and 167lbft of torque on tap from its bespoke 2997cc SOHC V8 engine, the model was reputedly capable of 120mph. Available with a choice of four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission all but the earliest Stags benefited from both hard- and soft-top roofs. Despite being in production for seven years during which time 25,877 cars were made, a mere 9,500 or so are thought to have survived.Retaining its original Passport to Service, handbook and Supercover documentation, this particular example formed part of the renowned Patrick Collection from new until December 2004 when it entered the current ownership. Issued with its last MOT certificate on January 7th 2004 at 10,187 miles, the Triumph has only covered an additional 700 miles since then. Resprayed from Red to Jade Green at the Patrick family's request before it even left the showroom, the Stag was treated to routine maintenance whilst in their care including a new clutch and overdrive overhaul etc. Benefiting from a Kenlowe fan, the factory-fitted V8 engine started readily during our recent photography session (October 2017). Offered for sale with the aforementioned paperwork, handwritten Patrick Collection maintenance log and assorted old MOT certificates (including its first one at 3,576 miles).PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

The subframe was stripped, shot blasted and powder coated, the steering joints and rubbers replaced, and new Minilite wheels, tyres and dampers installed. Finally, the facia was shot blasted and resprayed and a new carpet set fitted. This now exceedingly smart MG displays 41,419 miles and is being offered complete with comprehensive history file, photographs of the restoration, and an MOT valid into October 2018.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl.

1954 Sunbeam-Talbot 90 MKIIa Drophead Coupe- Finished in Grey and matched to a Grey interior- Bodied by Thrupp & Maberley and displays 47,188 miles- Current ownership since 2009 and subject to degree of re-commissioningLaunched in July 1948, the Sunbeam-Talbot 90 was essentially a reworking of the company's pre-war 2-litre chassis design. However, the newcomer's adoption of overhead valve gear gave it a surprising turn of speed. Quick to capitalise, the Rootes competition department hastened the model's development. Thus, the 90 MKII of 1950 boasted not only a new chassis with independent front suspension but also a capacity increase to 2267cc. Driven by Stirling Moss, Desmond Scannell and John Cooper, a MKII finished second overall on the 1952 Monte Carlo Rally presaging the arrival of the faster, more powerful MKIIA. Equipped with bigger brakes and slotted wheels to assist cooling, the latter could be had in four-door Saloon or two-door Drophead Coupe guises. Bodied by Thrupp & Maberley, the `soft top' MKIIA proved to be the rarest `90' derivative. Finished in Grey matched to a Grey interior the sale example entered current ownership in 2009 and has been subject to degree of recommissioning which has included a new wiring harness, overhauled brakes and a new exhaust. Displaying 47,188 miles the vendor currently grades the engine, gearbox, paintwork and interior as `average'.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 B 'Adenauer' Cabriolet- Very rare right-hand drive example and current ownership since 1971- First registered to Mercedes-Benz UK and retained by them until 1965- Substantially complete but in need of restorationWith global interest in classic cars showing little sign of abating, one might imagine all the gems that were secreted away in barns and garages over the years had been unearthed and accounted for. Happily, that's not the case, as confirmed by this sale's pair of Mercedes-Benz 300s which have remained hidden in the West Riding of Yorkshire for the past 20 years. These exciting finds were among the most expensive cars on the planet in period. However, it is this four-door Cabriolet that is of especial interest, as it is thought to be one of just seven righthand drive examples and therefore exceedingly rare as well as very desirable.We are informed that it vacated the Mercedes factory in Stuttgart on November 19, 1953. Originally finished in `Middle' Red, it was first registered to Mercedes-Benz UK and retained by them until 1965. It was then the property of two private owners before being acquired by the vendor in 1971. These days it sports Deep Blue bodywork teamed with a sumptuous Grey leather interior. Though clearly in need of restoration, it is in sound condition and substantially complete. It presently displays a credible total mileage of 76,296 and is now being made available complete with buff log book, original service book, sales parts list, instruction manual, and some photos of it in its pomp. A truly unique opportunity for Mercedes-Benz collectors everywhere.The 300, aka W186, Mercedes was manufactured from 1951 to 1957 and offered in four-door Salon, Phaeton, Cabriolet and Limousine guise, all powered by basically the same 2996cc SOHC straight-six engine. The B version of the car was introduced in March 1954 and benefited from vacuum-assisted power brakes and an increase in power to 123bhp. The `Adenauer' sobriquet was a nod to Germany's Chancellor of the period, who owned several W186 models.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

2013 Land Rover Defender 90 LXV 65th Anniversary- 1 of 65 limited edition examples, 1 owner & 3,500 miles from new - Offered with original order letter, sales invoice, key ring, handbooks and personal letter from the CEO of Land Rover- Described as `excellent' with regards to its bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmissionThere were a number of limited editions of the venerable Defender during its lifetime, among the most desirable of which were the examples built in 2013 in celebration of Land Rover's 65 birthday. Christened LXV (65 in Roman numerals), the edition was limited to 65 vehicles, making it rare from the outset. Each was based on the two-door Defender Hard Top model and powered by the company's proven 120bhp 2.2-litre diesel driving through a six-speed manual gearbox. Special exterior treatment that defined the LXV included Santorini Black paintwork teamed with contrasting Corris Grey roof grille and headlight surrounds, and 16-inch Sawtooth alloy wheels. The interior boasted leather trimmed seats with LXV-embossed headrests and unique orange stitching for the seats, steering wheel and centre storage compartment. A union flag decal and LXV logo on the rear completed the unique LXV package.The example now being sold goes a stage further and even features an LXV registration. `S5 LXV' was purchased new by the vendor, a Land Rover enthusiast, so is a one owner vehicle that has so far amassed a mere 3,500 miles. Always garaged, it is presently considered by him to have `excellent' bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission. He is now making it available for sale complete with the original order letter, sales invoice, key ring, handbooks, all related invoices and personal letter from the CEO of Land Rover. A serious consideration for Land Rover collectors everywhere.The ubiquitous and much-loved Defender was produced from 1990 to 2016. It was a direct descendant of the original Land Rover launched in 1948 and, though it retained its ancestor's rough, tough go anywhere qualities to the end, it also became a cult vehicle for a new breed of enthusiast who demanded a level of King's Road chic and creature comforts never previously envisaged. Production may have ceased but demand continues unabated.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT

'SAN 935S' is a stunning time warp example that has never been connollised, repainted or generally messed around with in the whole of its 40 year history, during which it has covered a fully documented, wait for it, 17,505 miles. Finished in the pleasing combination of Caribbean Blue bodywork with fine White coach lines and Magnolia-coloured hide interior trim, it was supplied new to a Mr Setchfield Chatteris of Cambridgeshire in August 1977, and apparently remained in dry storage at that address until six months ago, when it was acquired by the vendor for his private classic car collection. The comprehensive list of factory-fitted extras includes: leather headlining, front head restraints, hide top and knee rolls in French Blue, leather-trimmed centre storage bin, navy blue lambs-wool over-rugs, interior quality boot carpet, rear picnic tables, GB letters on bootlid, fire extinguisher, driver's door master/override switch, windscreen top tint, Sundym glass, and Lucas quartz iodine headlamps.

Make no mistake - a Shadow of this quality and condition is a rarity and we expect interest to be high.PLEASE NOTE: All estimates are subject to a buyer's premium of 16.2% incl. VAT
