Ford Escort Rally Car Shell 1994 - In the spirit of our Motorsport flavour to this auction we have here a very un-usual Lot! A full house 4 Wheel Drive Escort Rally prepped shell, complete with RAC/MSA Log book and a UK V5 Log Book .Starting life as a FWD shell, the previous owner converted it to run as a 4WD or Rwd Car built for Stage Rallying. It was campaigned in 4WD guise on stage Rallies in Northern England in the early 2000ês, apparently successfully (though unverified) see pictures of how it was. At this point the decision was taken to strip it and respray the body. Unfortunately, while apart the suspension, brakes plus other major components wentmissing. Very disappointed by this, the car then stood incomplete but resprayed until the current vendor, an ardent Ford Rally enthusiast purchased it with mind to rebuild itwhen time allowed Well time never did allow and now with him relocating, the decision has been taken for it to be offered to the market. Offered we have to say, with a reserve that does not approach the value of the shell and its parts if it were to be broken up!What follows is a summary from the vendor of what you will be getting if you are successful in the purchase of this very desirableShell.–Escort mk IV Rwd Rally Car .1995. M.S.A. Competition car log book for stage rallying. •Mê Reg V5 States Escort 3 Door Hatchback. Built to and has competed on stage Rallies using Cosworth RWD/4WD Engine and running gear.

Steering is still fitted to the car with completion wheel. Various components present under the bonnet.The shell itself is in very good order with just some easily repaired damage to the body kit to the side skirts mainly, from being sat with no wheels for a time. Rear glass is missing while both of the rear-side and the front screen are standard and present. Both front side widows are Perspex and fixed with sliding sections.As you can see. The car is a shell. It has been fitted with metal struts and hubs purely for ease of moving. It is not a rolling shell in any other way and should be priced accordingly. There is no engine, gearbox, suspension, brakes discs, calipers etc etc so what you see is what you get.What you do get is a very high spec shell fitted with a lot of very expensive bits complete with a UKM Registered V5. Just begging for someone to either rebuild back to fullCosworth Escort Spec using their rusty or damaged Sierra Sapphire as a donor car.

Pictures showing rear wheels for demonstration purposes, the small wheels behind them were for transport only and the Shell will come with all 4 Compomotive wheels with tyres.
Vauxhall PA Cresta 1958 - The VauxhallPa Cresta was a pure nod to the cars our friends over the pond were producing. Masses of chrome, wrap round bumpers and dare I say itrear fins! These cars were pure Rock and Roll.This lovely examples previous owner spent thousands sensitively renovating it to the condition you see here today. The exterior body work was stripped and any corrosion that was either present or likely to be if left, was removed and treated (remember 50ês cars were almostBio-degradable when mixed with our weather). Then it was professionally painted to a very high standard and is just as shiny today. Another thing that is nice is its exterior chrome work. It is original so unlike parts that have been re-chromed, the chrome on these has that deep lustre and is very presentable for its age.The interior received the same care and attention. The carpets were replaced throughout while the seats and door panels were retained and fully refurbished, in an effort to try and maintain some originality rather than just swapping out for new. The dash and steering wheel are original and in very good but used condition.Mechanically the 2200cc engine and its gearbox are excellent. The vendor reports it asVery nice to drive with no whines or grinds The rest of the general mechanics and electrics are all good and fully functioning. The sort of car you can get in and use.With only 28 PAês left registered for road use here in the UK, you would be right for thinkingBlimey! Not seen one of those for a long time They really are a true 50ês Classic, pleasing to the eye, as rare as henês teeth and some might sayBest of all being a 1958 car it is both road tax and MOT free.So rare to be offered on the open market outside of owners clubs etc. This PA represents a rare opportunity to own a bit of 50ês nostalgia while being an excellent investment as well.
Bentley T1 1970 Fresh out of very long term ownership and storage - This lovely old Bentley T1 has been consigned to us by its owner, a man with a heavy heart. Over 25 years ago he purchased it from his best friend, just prior to his friend passing on due to a terminal illness, not unexpected though, hence the sale of his friends cherished Bentley to him in the first place.He never had any intention of selling it but after it was scratched down the left flank by some mindless vandal and it parked in his garage out of harmês way, with the full intention of one day restoring it to its former glory. 7 or so years later he has come to the conclusion that this was not going to happen any time soon and rather than let it sit and slowly deteriorate, asked us to find it a new home through our auction. He really would like it to go to somebody that will cherish it and do the work that it now needs.On arrival at his garage, the battery was reconnected and with little effort at all the engine started (he had been starting it regularly) and it drove out onto the transporter, but with very low breaks. Strange as one of the things that had been done is the renewal of the brake pipes, rebuilt callipers and new pads along with new shock absorbers all round. We will up-date if we can get to the bottom of as to why as there was no obvious fluid leaks on the floor below the car?The body while being very sound, above and below, will need some work. Already mentioned there is a long single scratch down the side, too deep to polish plus there are other small areas that will need attention. As you can see in the pictures the car still presents very well. Exterior bright work is good as are the light lenses and glass.Inside is good and needing little more than a deep clean and some leather treatment. The deep shag pile over mats are all present. The dash and all its gauges look to be in good order and working. Two things of note. Driverês window not working, the other three are and passenger front door will not unlock.The engine sounds healthy but will obviously require a service and the transmission selects gear, both forward and reverse. We have driven the carslowly but nothing more as stopping a Bentley on its hand brake alone is not advisable at speed! (Proves the hand brake works though!). All 4 tyres are in good condition with plenty of tread but again, having not driven at speed we cannot tell if standing for so long has effected them at all so please be alert to this. Hub caps are all present.All in all he is good car that with some attention would be great car once more. Best of all, prices of T1 Bentleys are on their way up with some now being offered for sale at close to £30,000! So with some effort, not only will you be rewarded by owning a great car but one that will be worth it financially as well.
Volkswagen Scirocco “Scala” 1989 - Far rarer than its brother the Golf and now becoming very sought after is the Volkswagen Scirocco and the special addition “Scala” was always a rare sight even when new. This particular car has survived incredibly well with diamond straight body work and no signs of rust and being a Scala, is as original and finished in factory white with its special edition alloy wheels (which have recently been restored). Open the tail gate and all the usual suspect areas where rust can be found are like new, including the underneath edge of the tail gate and boot floor areas. Inside the door shuts on the A post are signs of the original factory grease still and the car was Ziebarted from new to stop any rust getting into the chassis, doors or floor pans.The interior is incredible, totally original with no signs of wear not even on the driver seat bolsters, un heard of without being retrimed! The 1800cc injected engine fires instantly and soon settles to an even tick over, the vendor has just had a new exhaust manifold fitted. He reports that on the road the car feels so much newer than its age being quick enough to have some fun, while not being expensive to run. Its gear box and clutch are good along with all the general mechanics and electrics. But no more than you would expect from a car that has only 100,497 miles on the clock and is complete with an excellent full service history ( VW up to 68,000 year 2000 then VW specialist ) plus a file full of receipts, bills, old MOt’s and its handbook. With a current MOT through to June 2017 and not to be confused with the “Normal” VW’s on the market, this car is truly ready to go and offers an excellent opportunity for any collector of 80’s cars or Volkswagen fan.
Here at ECCA we are honoured to of been chosen to offer for auction the “Steve Tandy” collection of Motorsport and Motorsport derived cars. This collection is the fruit of one mans labour, both in the Motorsport arena, where he has won multiple World, European and British championships and his private passion for fast cars. From a one owner “find” Ford Escort Cosworth, multi championship winning National Hot Rod cars, historic Ford Rally cars to big growling American V8 race cars there really is something from most forms of circuit or broken surface racing in the collection, offered here today!First up is this instantly recognisable and favourite of just about every teenager in the 80’s, 1987 Ford Sierra “Cosworth” affectionately known as a “Whale Tail Cossie”. These cars marked just about the end of the mad pursuit in the eighties by companies like Ford to be top dogs in the “Let’s take a boring family saloon car and turn it into a true performance car”game!! Alongside offerings from BMW, Audi and even Volvo. Somehow though it was Ford that captured most people’s imagination, all of a sudden the boring and mundane 1600cc Rep Mobile that you or your dad drove every day actually looked like the cars seen winning just about every saloon car race series in the country. You could even buy that OTT rear spoiler and bolt it on, if it did not actually make your car faster who cared it “looked” like it would be!!Body work is in great condition, it has not even been cleaned in the pictures. That is as it has been kept. Door shuts and body lines are excellent with no signs of repairs or impacts. Open the doors and the door steps and apertures all round are perfect with no rust or corrosion evident. This goes for the doors themselves as well. All the relevant body kit parts are present and correct and the aftermarket wheels are in good condition.Inside is excellent. The Recaro seats had a reputation for being “delicate” well not liking being sat on which is a bit inconvenient when you are a seat! Somehow, apart from some slight looseness of the front seat bases material, the seats in this car have survived very well. The dash is good with just one or two minor cracks that all Fords of this time suffered with. Not bad but there. All the original instruments are in place and working, even the original stereo is still fitted so no nasty big holes and poor wiring from badly fitted aftermarket stereos ( this is not tested at time of writing but will update once done so) The LCD clock works but has dimmed with time. Even the rear parcel shelf is there, slightly bowed from time if you open the rear hatch, but not noticeable when closed.Last on the road in 1997 this superb condition example should be recommissioned before being used, more as a precautionary thing and something anyone with any mechanical sympathy would do automatically. However it has regularly been run up during those years, its wheels have been rotated to stop any flat spotting and it has on the odd occasion been taken out for a drive, so it does start and run, gearbox clutch and transmission are fully functioning as are the brakes and all electrics.We all know how strong values of all Fast Fords are, with cars often changing hands multiple times and at a higher price each time. It is very rare for a “new” car to come to market such as this one as once in private collections they tend to stay there. Making this car an excellent opportunity for any serious collector or lover of “Blue Oval” cars.Note: The very rare and hard to find genuine work shop manuals are with the car.
Morris Minor 1000 2 Door 1961 - This great example of a 2 doorMoggy Minor must set some sort of record, in its paper work amongst its original hand books etc, it has 50 yes 50 MOT certificates, dating right back to the oldest type one we have seen, issued in 1966!!First registered to a lady owner in July 1961, it stayed with her until sold to the only other registered owner, another lady in September 2002, both keepers in the same postal area. 406VPA is unusual in another way. In 1961 the semaphore-style trafficators were replaced by then new style flashing direction indicators, well this car has both? Although the semaphore ones do not function we can only surmise that it was a very late in the runsemaphore equipped car that was then modified withThem new-fangled flashing ones!Today he is a real genuine old car, not in concourse condition, just a lovely solid car that has not been restored just permanently maintained with work being done as and when. Body work is very good with just signs here and there of these running repairs, not rusty though and still presents very well with nice chrome etc.Interior is more of the same. The Driverês seat has been replaced at some time, being a slightly different shade. The other seats are original with a nice patina. Carpets are to good not to of been replaced. The dash is excellent.Mechanically that excellent 4 cylinder 948 cc engine, that is so popular with enthusiasts round the world, starts easily with no fuss and still is more than willing to pull this car down the road. There is an undisputable charm to these cars, drive one and you soon discover just how people become so attached to them. The odometer reads 52221 but that has been the mileage recorded since 1972 according to its MOTês so you can safely say that is not correct.All the other mechanics and electrics are good with the MOT current until 31st of October. So if you want to own a Morris Minor, one you can enjoy as is and maybe improve as you go and one that you can use all year round, have a close look at this car.Morris Minor 1000 2 Door 1961-
ChevroletStep Side V8 Pick-up. 1978 - Having previously sold this very good condition 1978 Chevrolet Step Side truck at one of our auctions, it has been back out to France where it was originally imported from, served its purpose and then back to us to resell!Still in excellent order through out with a strong 5 litre V8 up front. It starts first time every time and soon settles to a very even and quiet tick over. On the road it pulls cleanly and runs up through the automatic gearbox nicely. The twin big bore exhausts making a nice but not obnoxious note. There seems to be little or no tram lining common to these trucks. Brakes are servo assisted and work very well. Steering is power assisted. Tyres are good all-round. The body work looks to be rust free and is as solid underneath as on top with a nice checker plated rear bed.Interior is nice and equipped with electric windows and door locks although the passenger window does not seem to work. All the gauges work correctly, displaying good oil pressure. There is a brake warning light on telling you the emergency (hand) brake is on when it is not. This does flash when you operate the release lever so is probably down to adjustment of the switch. Does not affect the driving but worth mentioning. The seat belts are fitted and their warning light works correctly.The truck is still on French papers but easy enough to register into onto UK plates if staying in the UK, will need an MOT and insurance to do so. Not currently Motêd so cannot legally be driven away from the auction. Transport can be arranged.
Ford Escort Cosworth Low Miles 1993 - The Ford Escort Cosworth has to be one of the most sought after and hence, collectable cars to of been produced in the 90ês. At this point I think we need to say thatanyone reading this does not need to be told about the model. They have been elevated to cult status with many a hushed or rowdy conversation taking place in Pubs, Car Parks and even dare I say bedrooms (–You love that damn car more than me sought of conversations!) the length and breadth of the country. Everyone knows what they are so on to this actual car.First registered in January 1993 this lovely condition car is in the sought after colour of metallicMallard green and apart from the upgraded blue Samco silicon hoses and theGroup A breather system using Goodrich braided steel hoses under the bonnet, appears to of survived in its original state, a rare feat indeed. The current owner a avid collector of Ford Motorsport cars, purchased it in 2013 with a fresh MOT showing 84121 miles, now 4 years later it has done 84187, another 66 miles and most of that was the drive home! In that time it has sat in his dry garage . So with this lack of use and his imminent relocation the decision has been taken to offer it to the market, but in his wordsIf it does not sell at a sensible price, it will just go back into storage elsewhere So this is a one time chance to buy being offered here in this auction.The body work is described as very good and needing little more than a good deep polish from being stood for so long under cover. There is how ever a light cosmetic damageCat D insurance claim listed against the car from back in 2011, but whoever repaired it did an exceptional job, any paint work that was carried out is matched perfectly.(Note: Please also bare in mind that if this level of damage occurred today, with todayês values, the percentage of value versus cost to repair would be so low it would not even be recorded!). Glass all round, apart from the windscreen, is original and still carries the dealer etched security numbers offered at the time to help guard against theft. The original alloys are in good order with just a couple of minor kerb scuffs. The vendor tells us that prior to purchase he inspected it underneath as well, on a ramp. It was excellent under there, no corrosion or damage.Interior is very good, the leather trim is in good order needing no more than a good feed. Carpet, roof lining and door cards are all very nice. There is an old mobile phone mount that could do with being removed from the side of the centre console, but any holes left would not be seen once removed. The dash is again very good with all the standard clocks in place, just the LCD clock has deteriorated withbleeding to the display.The engine? Well itês lovely, starting instantly with no nasty puffs of smoke from the exhaust, no ominous rattles or reasons to worry. While unfortunately the original service book has gone missing, there is a file of bills and receipts recording the work that has been carried out over the years. Also included is all its old MOT certificates, including its very first one, aTracker certificate if you want to get it re-instated and even its original bill of sale, all these things help to back up the very low mileage recorded on the odometer.Everything else, general mechanics, electrics, transmission etc are all stated to be very good and the vendor will be placing a new MOT on the car prior to sale. One thing we do always say, even with a fresh MOT, when a car has stood for some years we would advise a level of recommissioning should be undertaken prior to use.With prices of these very desirable Fords sometimes being nearly twice what they cost new, this lovely example is being offered with a very realistic reserve and one that is not likely to be repeated in the future and yes the PersonalCOS plate does come with it.
